I know I may be over thinking this but, my bf and I are long distance. Only by an hour, he's coming over next Friday on the train and is leaving on the Sunday. I'm going to meet him at the train station and walk back with him. We are both looking forward to it... A LOT. But I can't help but feel nervous:

It's gonna be the first time he stays at my house and I've never been to his before. It will be the first time he meets my family, of course he's spoken to them on Skype before and I've spoken to his.. But this is the real deal... I'm really nervous... I've got a lot of worries like: What if we get bored, or things get awkward, should I make him sleep in the spare room like me and my parents planned? All the things like that...

The only tv in the house is the one in the lounge downstairs so we can't watch films in my room. My parents and 9 year old sister use the tv as well so it's gonna be hard with that.

I'm really only worried about the first night because the rest of the weekend I've got things planned, like we're going out on the Saturday to meet my mates and then coming back in the evening to have a movie night. I just need suggestions on how to prepare... I'm 15 and he's 16 (no, I'm not planning on doing anything 'sexual' with him). I just need some suggestions because I'm getting worried... Anyone had bus come over for the weekend, what did you do?? I'd be very grateful for any answers, thank you :) xxxx

My curiosity about my question has sprung from my current experiences with my best friend. He has been one of my best friends now for about 6 months and we are very close. We say a common 'Love you' sometimes (in a friend way) and we have cuddled before and we often meet up and go on walks. He recently got a girlfriend who's in our year at our school (we're in year 10). He started fancying her merely 2 weeks ago and a few days later they are already going out and apparently she had liked him already a for a few months. He has already changed and doesn't spend as much time as us and he's being blunt on text and everything. It's literally been two weeks since he's developed these feelings and he already seems "in love". I know she's his girlfriend but he talks about her so much around me and I don't need to hear how 'sexy' she is, that's not for me to know. He seems to care for her much more than me and speaks to her way more. It's only been two weeks. And I was wondering... Is there anyone out there who has a girlfriend or boy friend but still cares for their best friend the same, or even more. I know it may seem silly and in I way am I meaning to seem selfish or horrible. But it's hurting me that he's drifting away...

I am considering joining the military and I want to start training myself early on. No, I do not want to be in the kitchen I want to be trained on the combat side of it and in the end working up to being an officer. I was just wondering is this possible for a woman to achieve and what would I have to do?

Any help appreciated :)

Basically I have realized that one of my biggest fears is abandonment. I know most people fear this but I have it extremely bad and in most cases I cannot tell anyone about it because it would result in me telling secrets and people getting mad. But right now I fear abandonment more than ever and I am just wondering if what I am going to explain sounds selfish at all...

My best friend and I are pretty close to this guy that is in our friend group. I more than her because he has said that he is much closer to me than her. A few weeks ago she told me that she fancies him. My heart sank and I felt like I couldn't move. I wondered if I fancied him too but I quickly dismissed that thought because I obviously don't have those feelings for him. Me and him hug a lot and he's really nice to me so I like having him around. Over the past weeks I have been fearing she will tell him that she fancies him. Reason being that I don't want him to take advantage of that and stop spending time with me and go off with her just for the fact that she fancies him. And last night my fears came true, she told him over text and I am worried when I walk to school with them today that my worst fears are going to erupt again.

I have been abandoned so much in the past by friends and I am so scared that he'll start paying more attention to her rather me. Also that they'll become more friends and my best friend and him will both leave me. I am protective over the friendships I have and I get attached to people. I hate myself for being this attached, but what if he does leave me for her? Why am I so worried about this? Is this selfish? Please help me out, I am in a fit of worries right now. Any help appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

This has been a dream of mine for a long time, and my love of wolves and nature has moved it's way into wanting to become a part of my future. I have taken a great interest in wolf rehabilitation parks where you can get hands on with the wolves and raise them. At the same time educating the public about this fascinating creature. I am only 14 but I fully understand that a huge amount of effort and work would have to be out in to working towards my goal. Being the age I am will provide me to prepare in achieving what I want out of my future. But I have little understanding of how to do this. My aim for my future is to move to Canada to carry out my love for wildlife (I am living in the UK). I have been called strange for having a passion for wolves and my friends think I am mad for wanting to go such a distance for this. But I am seriously committed and I will do all I can to at least try and get closer.

I have read about getting degrees in Zoology which can help me, but I have no clue how to do that. Another thing is the volunteer trips to Canada where you get educated and taught about how to work in these wolf parks. This course goes on for about 3-8 weeks depending on which one you take. I have thought I could take one of them in the future when I am older.

If anyone out there can help me or at least give me a few tips would be amazing. This is my dream and I'd go long miles to achieve it!! Thank you!!

So basically I have got myself into a really messed up situation with my best friend.. Yesterday I went to town with my two best friends and I generally felt third wheeled the whole day.. We went back to my second best friends house after town and that's when everything went downhill. My best friend seemed to be having more laughs and fun with the other so I left them to it and went and sat somewhere else..

My second best friend seemed to notice and she asked me what's wrong and I told her s felt third wheeled and she said that they didn't mean to and we'll make sure you're not it future.. My other best friend (the one who hates me) wasn't in the room.. She was also the one who gave me a lift home and things where quite silent in the car.. When I got inside I got a text from her saying who was wrong and I told her.. She took it completely the wrong way and started turning it around on me saying that I was trying to make her feel guilty when I just wanted to be friends again.. Since I moved to UK from New Zealand 6 months ago I miss people from there and I told her I miss them and stuff and she kept saying, "I'm sick of hearing of your stupid New Zealand friends, I don't want to be compared to someone else.. Go hang out with them if you miss them so much"!!! She was always the one who told me to be open to people and here she is throwing her advice back not my face!! She is generally like this and gets annoyed easily so you have to be a careful with her.. We've been in several situations like this bt we always had school the nest day to sort it out.. Since its half term I can't really do tha and we're meant to be meeting up on Wednesday to get ready for spending Halloween together.. As far as. Know m still going but things will be awkward and as far as I know my friend hates me.. I didn't mean to make her feel that way and to be honest she was comparing me to other friends as we fought over text!! She hates me and I'm a wreck because of it.. Please I need some help, I need to know what to do and if anyone has been through the same thing?! She's a ticking time bomb and now she prefers the the best friend to me.. Please help..? If you read all that thank you so much.. Xx

It would mean so much to me if you could help me out with this!! Thank you!!!!

I am 14 and my family moved to the UK about 5 months ago (I am originally from New Zealand). I have known this guy for about 4 months now, we go to the same school, in the same year and all. When we first started talking we seemed to clash straight away. We had so much in common, I saw him as a really good friend. He payed me so many compliments it was unreal, to the point where I started feeling uncomfortable and smothered. I couldn't take it anymore and finally told him the truth (I regret it to this day) . It was the day half term started, I made him feel horrible and we broke up as friends. We didn't talk for a week over half term. The day back at school I found out he had a girl friend. I felt a pang of jealousy but disguised it. We didn't talk for a good two weeks until he popped up! We started talking again and he suggested being good friends again, by this time I realized I had gained a good friend back but it would never be the same. I had started to like him and missed his old self. We got closer and started meeting each other outside of school and he started paying me compliments again. I realized I didn't mind at all anymore. In the week before the summer told me he had feelings for me, I knew this was the start of trouble because he had a girl friend and I knew he loved her. I had got used to the fact he loved another and always tried to ignore the fact that things would never be the same. Since the holidays started we've been talking less and he's been ignoring me. He's apologized and we've met up a few times but that's gone now. I feel hurt and I know I'm loosing him, it was only last Tuesday that he told me he had developed strong feelings for me and has been holding back from talking and seeing me because he knows its bad he likes me so much and loves another. He apologized to me and said he misses me and knows he hurt me and he said he would make an effort and sort his feelings out another way. The next day he brought his friend up to mine and we walked my dog, he said he'd text me. Since those few words I haven't heard a thing from him. I have come to realized how empty I feel without him, countless times over the summer I have cried when he ignored me and now it has become to much. I do have feelings for him and our feelings is ripping our friendship apart. I feel so hurt and lonely and long for a message from him!! Can someone please help me, what should I do with our friendship?? How can I get over my feelings?!

I know that was so long and if you took your time reading that I am so great full. I appreciate any help I get, Thank you so much!

We have decided to welcome a puppy into our family. We are not rushing things, we are dong our research. I am 13 and my whole family agrees and wants a dog. The Springer Spaniels came to mind, we can provide everything for the dog such as walks grooming and all the stuff it needs. We have a fully fenced yard and if left alone it would be 4 hours or under (which won't happen much). We are just wandering if they are a breed who tends to bark a lot for no reason. If well socialized and exercised do they have less of a tendency to bark? Any help will be appreciated, thank you :)

I know this may be a stupid question but, what does that bell symbol mean on the top right hand corner. It shows up once and a while next to the mail option on the top of the page. It showed up on mine but as a clicked on it it crashed, now it's gone. What does it mean?

My Samsung Galaxy Gio is going wrong. The contacts have stopped working and an alert always shows up saying: "The process android.process acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." It try and try again and it never works. Another thing wrong it my 3G stopped working yesterday, I live in UK and am connected with Three (a phone company). I bought the pay as you go data package where you pay 15 pounds and you get 3000 texts, 300 minutes and all you can eat data. My phone data has just unexpectedly stopped working and won't let me connect again. It can't be credit because I bought it for a month and expires on the 10th of may. I've tried everything, shutting my phone off and back on again and also taking my SIM card and battery out. Nothing seems to be working. Someone please help I need to access my data and contacts on my phone!!!

Ok so we are moving to England. My cat is being flown over in about two weeks. For about a week we have been keeping him inside. He is an eight year old male and is constantly fighting and getting infections from his open wounds. He got one just a few weeks ago. We have to take him to the vets and feed him antibiotics by hand, which is a nightmare. Suddenly my dad thinks its cruel to keep him in. I think this is a bad idea because what if he got in a fight just before he has to leave, plus he will just get attached to his surroundings even more and find it harder to settle in UK. I keep protesting its a bad idea. He's a very large cat and he's on a strict diet. I give him a ton of exercise by throwing a tinfoil ball for him and making him chase things all over the house. I even get him to sit for his dinner. He's loosing weight and I've bonded much more with him. It would gut me to see him come home YET AGAIN with some more battle wounds. So please what should I do. Let him out or keep him safe inside where he gets plenty of exercise?

I am getting a puppy and am looking into Labradors. Are they good pets? What are the pros and cons? Are they worth having as a family pet? Thank you :)

Our family has decided to get a puppy. We are looking for a reasonably large breed. Nothing much larger than a lab. We have already said no to German shepherds, Labradors, golden retrievers, Dalmatians and border collies due to our life style. I have researched and fully prepared for this dog and it has been my life long dream. But we need to decide on a breed. Don't recommend shelters because we are looking into that as well, we just want to get n idea of what breeds there are to choose from that are reasonably large. Any sujestion will be greatly appreciated, thank you :)

Right now I am absolutely falling apart. I am 13 I have known this guy for 5 years now. We got on so well when we where younger and nothing was awkward. As time went on people started making fun of us thinking we liked each other when we didn't. At the end of Primary we where still friends and where going to the same intermediate. The first half of year 7 was pretty friendly, this is when things started going downhill.he started changing. Meeting people that changed him and his perspective towards me. By the end of that year we hardly talked. Last year in year 8 we didn't ever communicate, maybe occasionally on Facebook if I started the conversation. He started becoming popular. He made lots of friends, most where popular girls. He has no problem talking to them and talking to them like best friends. Now he completely avoids me. I try being nice and saying hi on face book and. Have to try a couple of times for us to have an awkward conversation. Before Christmas we had a party and him and his family and another family came over. We got on fine at this party because he wasn't with friends and he had no one else to talk to. Anyways after that we hardly talked. At college we are in the same science and form but whenever we pass we don't make eye contact. Today I was at that girls house who he met at the party and she wanted to talk to him through Facebook. She did and it was awkward. Then I said to him a few hours ago. She says hi, then he said hi. I said I'll pass you over to her and he said No I don't want to talk with you guys. That completely did it. I now know something is wrong. Have I done something to irritate him, is he too embarrassed to talk to me? What can I do to mend our friendship? Please give me some advice I'm really sad now and don't know what to do. School is tomorrow and I'm in the same classes with him. It's going to be so awkward. Please help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

We are getting a dog, but we have no idea which breed. I'm thinking a border collie, otherwise we will get one from the animal shelter. But I was wondering what doe sit take to look after one, do they shed their fur all year round? How long do they live? Do they make good family pets? Stuff like that would be awesome to know. Any answer will be appreciated, thank you :)

I'm really bored and just asking this question to find out which people like which hunger games characters best. Haha for me I like Peeta the best so many reasons. Whichever one you like best explain why

In a few months when I move to UK we are getting a dog. We are completely ready to walk it and take care of it. I was just wondering what type of things should I get for the dog including accessories. Also should I get it a dog bed or a crate. We are thinking of larger breed like a German Shepherd or looking in an animal shelter to save a life. Any advice will be great thanks :)

I have been told by my parents that we are moving the the UK in a couple of months because of family. I was devastated, school is the first thing that worries me. I am 13 and from New Zealand, is there any ways I can make friends and fit it at school because I am completely terrified of moving.

I may be able to get a German Shepherd puppy. If I do how would my 8 year old male cat respond and how would I introduce the puppy to the cat? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)

A slight chance I may be able to get a GSD puppy. I was just wondering what are some good name suggestions. Both gender names would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
