It sounds like your mom wants to be a part of your life, but you two are getting your signals crossed. Let her know that a relationship with her is important to you but that you two need to work on how you communicate. Don’t assume she doesn’t have an interest in your problems. Instead, tell her how it makes you feel when she responds that way. When she tells you to get over stuff, that’s probably just her way of dealing. People have different ways of approaching problems—some choose to forget and move on, while others like to talk out issues. Let her know that you don’t necessarily expect her to fix everything for you—you just want her to lend an ear.

For those of us wondering what C.D.L.S is heres a shortish explanation i got off of the C.D.L.S USA foundation website: How is CdLS recognized? CdLS is a congenital syndrome, meaning it is present from birth. Most of the signs and symptoms may be recognized at birth or shortly thereafter. A child need not demonstrate each and every sign or symptom for the diagnosis to be made. As with other syndromes, individuals with CdLS strongly resemble one another. Common characteristics include: low birthweight (often under five pounds), slow growth and small stature, and small head size (microcephaly). Typical facial features include thin eyebrows which frequently meet at midline (synophrys), long eyelashes, short upturned nose and thin, downturned lips. Other frequent findings include excessive body hair (hirsutism), small hands and feet, partial joining of the second and third toes, incurved fifth fingers, gastroesophageal reflux, seizures, heart defects, cleft palate, bowel abnormalities, feeding difficulties, and developmental delay. Limb differences, including missing limbs or portions of limbs, usually fingers, hands or forearms, are also found in some individuals.

MOD- I have been sick the last two days because I have had a really, really bad cold. I emailed all my school friends about it yesterday. But one of my "friends" (we'll call her S) sent me an email saying "I know you weren't at school today. It was quiet and peaceful." I know I'm talkative, but it shouldn't be "peaceful" when I'm not there. So then I email S back about this and I said (sarcastically) "Thanks, S, that makes me feel loads better." She sent me another email saying, "I don't care. Ha ha, you missed out on two days of choir parties in a row. And we didn't have to watch a stupid movie this time." This just got me extremely mad. Not only was she rubbing the parties in my face, but she also didn't seem to be the least bit sensitive to the fact that I was sick. So then I emailed her saying "S, seriously, I am NOT in the mood for in-my-face humanity. Plus, I don't care whether or not you watched a stupid movie. Now, please don't bug me with this kind of thing unless you have something nice to say about it, because I am seriously sick right now and I really don't want to hear how 'great' the choir parties were." Then she emailed me back saying "Ha ha. You are spam now, you meanie." I don't exactly get how I was the one being mean. The way I see it, S was the one being mean by rubbing all of this in my face while I was sick and saying that it was better at school when I wasn't there. Should I keep talking to S? What should I do about her?
YOu need to talk to her and tell her that what she said was not ok. If she doesnt want to listen to you then maybe you need to take a break from her for a little while until she realizes that she was wrong.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD my mom says im too old to have a b-day party im turning 14 but i want to have one not but a more mature one SOME of my friends still have them any ideas on b-day party's? and how to convince my mom i also think it might be partially due to the fact that my parents divorced and with garduation confirmation my b-day and my D.C. trip we are a little tight on money because she would also like to buy a house this summer (possibly) and did i mention i have a twin brother who has C.D.L.S.? a little help here and if im being too selfish go a head and say so. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! THANX! SOOOO MUCH (SORRY IT'S SO LONG)
Maybe you can ask to have a dance-like party at your house and the only thing your mom would have to buy is like chips and drinks. See what your mom thinks, if she still doesn't agree, don't stress, there will be more birthdays. Make the best of this one...Renee

MOD Hey, Me and my two exbestfriends, well of course aren't friends anymore. So i flirt with their boyfriends behind their backs. And their boyfriends flirt back. What should i do?
Hey girl! Thats a sticky situation! If you want to be friends again with those girls, you might not want to go for their boyfriends. And because they're still dating them, they're pretty much off limits. Maybe ignore the whole group until things settle down and then you won't upset anyone by accident! --Avery

Posted by: carly7 on 5/15/2008 2:05:39 PM
no idea what C.D.L.S. is!
Posted by: carly7 on 5/15/2008 2:08:31 PM
I have this buddy in my class and one day she asked me if I wanted to hang at her house sometime. I said that would be fun. I was pretty happy that she really wanted to be my friend. The next day some popular boy asks her out. She says YES. Most of the boys at my school like a girl if they're pretty or popular. But her new bf likes her for HER. And so now I have a major crush on him. Is there any way I can win his heart but still have a new friend? Please please PLEASE Help me!!!
Posted by: girlnextdoor123 on 5/15/2008 2:17:47 PM
carly7 if this guy keeps doing this to you its sexual harrasment. You should report him to an adult if he keeps going because it is just plain wrong.
Posted by: Notlikethem on 5/15/2008 2:23:47 PM
Carly7 -- You should definitely talk to your parents, teachers, and school counselors about what this guy is doing. Especially if you told him to stop and he didn't! Let this stop before it goes too far -- Good luck! xoxo

mod me and my freinds want to try out for the cheer squad. i asked my mom, and she said she couldnt picture me as "the cheerleading type" also, im not very popular (and i hope that this would help me spread out) in school, and im afraid that if i try out, and dont make it all the popular people will make fun of me. and i have trouble tumbling, and my toe touches are good but need to be higher. any advice?
Dont worry about what other people will say, if you want to try out for cheerleading because it is something you are interested in, then go right ahead. If you dont try out you might end up regretting it, so give it a shot and try out.

I want to try out for cheerleading next year but I'm not in the best shape, I can't do flips (unless on a trampoline)or hand stands. I can do cartwheels (duh anyone can do that) and splits both ways. Should I try out? If I should how could I pull it off???

*****MOD***** Ok, so there is this guy I REAllY like, but he doesn't seem to like me. I mean he makes me laugh and he is really nice. He also tries to givve hugs and keeps reminding us (I see him at my friends church small group) that he doesn't have a gf, but I just get that feeling he likes my friend, not me. Which makes me RRRREEEEAaAALLLYYY , cause she doesn't like him. What should do? I kinda want him to know i like him. (cause I try to ignore him to try to seem not so obvious. But I think it hurts him ) Help!!
You should tell your guy how you feel, because if you dont then how is he supposed to know. Try hanging out and talking to him more, so he knows how you feel without you having to say it, if you dont want to.

Posted by: prettycatholicgirl11 on 5/15/2008 7:12:50 PM
**MOD** how can i ask my crush out?
hey girl! i always like to start by talking to them and finding out if we have anything in common. for instance, if he's in the same class as you, you might bring that up in a conversation. from there you can casually ask him if he wants to hang out. if you're especially nervous, make it a group thing! i hope that gets the ball rolling --Avery

mod or anyone ok so i am having a sleepover all girls and need ideas of what to do since it will be hot out
hey girl! you can do tons out outside activities since it'll be nice weather: lounging around getting tan, frisbee, roller blading etc. at night you could make smores too if your parents will be around. hope that helps! --Avery
Posted by: sooboolotnes205 on 5/15/2008 8:10:03 PM
I don't know how I would deal with that. I think that mom sounds like a jerk!
Posted by: liagibaa on 5/15/2008 8:12:15 PM
***MOD*** Kay so i REALLY like this guy. there are a few probs: he's a year older, goes 2 a different school and we wont go 2 school 2gether 4 2 more years, hes my mom's friends son and shes forbidden me from seeing him for NO reason (ive talked 2 her bout it and shes just like idk...), and appearanly hes not into GFs yet. HELLLP! i dont even kno if i want to be his gf i just want to be his friend first.
hey girl! thats tough if his mom says you cant see him because then whenever you'd be over there it would be really awkward. i dont think that the fact that he's a year older is a super big problem, but it would also be really hard because you don't go to the same school. try being his friend first so maybe his mom will warm up to you and then see where it goes. --Avery

:::MOD::: my mom doesnt approve of tanning cuz it can cause skin cancer so i was wondering if u knew of any good self tanning spray things?
Hey girl! I really like jergens natural glow because it doesn't look too orange, but check out the different stuff at the store to compare! Good luck!
--Avery
Posted by: Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:45:09 PM
Hey chica (lovleylady) I have had the same thing happen to me and u r NOT pathetic. try to find something to distract you and see if that works. also DO NOT flirt with him!!! that is being a bad friend. hes off limits, keep reminding yourself that. hope that this helps even a little. xoxo Dancin Devil
Posted by: Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:49:25 PM
Avery, his mom's not the prob, in fact shes been trying 2 set us up 4 YEARS! no its my mamma.
Oh sorry! Well in that case, try talking to her about it and maybe it'll change her mind. Just be really open to her thoughts and feelings about the situation and try to show her that you're responsible and can handle dating
Posted by: Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:50:58 PM
first coment! Hi Renee! Wuz up?
Posted by: sportygirl23 on 5/15/2008 10:45:57 AM
MOD!!!!! today these girls were flirting with my bf today in one of my classes & writing stuff in his notebook about them getting married.. and he didnt stop them. i'm soo sad i am about ready to cry... but should i talk to him about it or let it go?
Hey Girl! If it really bothered you then you should tell your bf. Just be like, "Hey you know today when those girls were acting flirty, I felt really sad/upset/hurt. Even if you think it's nothing to get upset about, it's a big deal to me, so next time, could you tell them to stop?" and if he's a good bf, he will! If he gets upset with ya or says no, it might be time to get a new bf! You deserve someone that is gonna really care about your feelings. XOXO Aubrey
Posted by: hockeyhottie93 on 5/16/2008 1:04:38 PM
lovelylady- awhh. i know exactly how you feel. unfortunately, i really cant give any advice... but i just wanted you to know that its not weird or pathetic to like your bff's bf. :]
Posted by: hockeyhottie93 on 5/16/2008 1:24:03 PM
aubrey- thanks for the advice, but idk if i should call him (he doesnt have a cell, only a home #, and i know hes not home right now...) or wait to talk to him on IM or at school. when should i talk to him?
Hey Girl! Do whatever is most comfortable for ya! I don't think I would call him if he doesn't have a cell (that might get a lil awkward!). If you really, really want the situation done with as soon as possible, IM is the way to go. Plus, if he gets really upset and starts being mean, you can always just log off! And it might be kinda hard to tell him to his face XOXO Aubrey

I have this friend that isn't really nice to me. In gym class yesterday, I was like "Hey, does anyone have a pencil I can borrow? I need to use the eraser." So she's like, "Hey, look, she has one!" And pointed to my friend. And I said, "Yeah but she won't let me use it." So she says, "Then wait your turn," in this really snotty voice, even though she has a pencil that i could use. I want to tell her I don't want to be her friend, but she's friends with my friends, and I don't want them to gang up on me. Pluse she kind of acts like she's superior to me, even though she isn't. Please what do I do?
Posted by: girlnextdoor123 on 5/16/2008 1:51:21 PM
hey its girlnextdoor123 again. thanks for the encouragement with my crush, but is there anything i can do? do you know any flirting tips (you know, ones that are appealing but not too outgoing)? i can't stop thinking about him. nobody can give it a rest! all i hear is this and that about this couple. and now my BFF is hanging out by my buddy at homeroom in the morning. i wish she'd stop but she will get so mad at me if i tell her to.
Posted by: girlnextdoor123 on 5/16/2008 2:43:55 PM
