Jessica's Advice

Dear Advice Person,
There's this girl I really like, and she said she really likes me too. Should I ask her to dump her boyfriend, or should I wait for the relationship to possibly end?
Sincerely,
Sir Launcelot
Dear Sir Lancelot,
Well, I can see your problem here totally! I've always been a strong believer ingoing straight for what I want! If you really like this girl, and she seems to really like you...just go for it! Don't be so paranoid about her saying no...maybe she won't! Instead, focus on keeping your confidence up! What's the worst that can happen anyway? Except for her saying no...then you can just move on to someone else! Remember there are so many other people out there probably looking for a great guy just like you!
Dear Advice Person,
My boyfriend is a really great guy! The only problem is one of my best friends doesn't want me seeing him. She gets mad whenever I hang out with him, and now my friend's boyfriend is on my case about it! What should I do?
Sincerely,

Dear Anonymous,
All right...this must be in a hard situation to be in! If you really like your boyfriend that much and he likes you just the same then it shouldn't matter what your friends think! If it were me I would stay with my boyfriend, and forget about what your friend and her boyfriend are saying. It sounds to me that they aren't really friends if they can't accept your boyfriend and the fact that you're with him! I know how hard it is to try to make your friends happy and fit in with the crowd, but sometimes you just have to do the things you want to do! Stay with your man, and prove them all wrong!
Dear Advice Person,
Do you think that I should go out with a guy that likes me and is cute or a guy that is hot and likes me that doesn't do well with commitment?
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
Dear Elizabeth,
If I were you I would go for the cute one. To me, hot says "alright for a little while," but cute says, "he definitely has the potential to become something special!" Also, if the hot one has a problem with commitment either he gets over it, or you go with someone who's not going to back out when things get really serious. Sometimes you have to think, "is it really worth it?" or "how long would it really last anyway?" It may seem dumb to think about in high school, but who wants to go out with a guy for a couple weeks and waste your time, while you could have scored another guy who could be totally worth every second of it.
Dear Advice Person,
I hate myself and have no reason to. I have a good life, good parents and a good everything. Everyone thinks I'm really happy and sometimes I am. My mood changes a lot like a manic-depressive. I hate how I feel a lot of the time. What can I do to change how I feel about myself?
Sincerely,

Dear Anonymous,
Ah...this is a tough one! What I think you should do first is try and find out why you hate yourself. Is there any reason at all? There must be if this is the way you are feeling. Have you considered going to a doctor? They could help you, but there are some other ways to resolve this kind of thing.
Just keep this in mind - we all have those days where we aren't feeling that great, but if this is almost everyday then there must be something wrong or a reason for all those feelings. Have you talked about this with someone else, or let someone know what you're telling me now? Maybe you should, because from what you have told me you have parents who care about you and your feelings.
