Jessica Asked: What do I do about this?

Ok, so I'm a 15 year old sophomore girl. I am cheer captain and volunteer with my little brothers' sports teams.

My little brother is 12 and he plays football. I spend close to 3 hours a day with his team except for game day when it is closer to 7 or 8 hours. His best friends are on the team and are always trying to hit on me because I'm always around.

One makes an extra effort and scares away all the creepy kids that try to get some of my hair or something odd like that. He is super sweet to me and pulls out my chair for me and sticks up for me when the other boys make a joke about me. He also texts me things like "I think your amazing in every way." and "Today was ok but it would have been better if I got to be with you." By the way my little brother gave him and a bunch of his other friends my number because he thought it would funny I didn't give it to him or ask for his number. The boys older cousin, one of my good friends, said that since I wouldn't date him since we were super close and totally friend-zoned I should date this 12 year old boy. Soon most of the youth football team he was on was saying the same thing.

It didn't bother me at first because I thought it was kinda cute in a puppy dog crush kind of way. Now I'm starting to have a problem because I think I might actually be liking the idea of getting to know this boy a little better. I'm pretty sure this is a big no no but at the same time I am always being pushed off with him because my family is always hanging out with his family. I don't want to like him because it makes me feel like I'm a pedophile or a pervert if I do but at the same time he is a whole lot nicer to me than the boys at my school who are just trying to get in my pants.

Please someone I don't know if this wrong or ok or even normal much less what to do about it. As long as it isn't perverted, nonsense or unrelated; any advice is much appreciated.

Jessica Asked: Teen guys, why did he do this?

So there's this guy I really like and we've had this one class together for the whole year. Just recently I started getting Interested In him and got the guts to actually say "Hi" to him. First time It was bad timing because It was with his guy friends and all he did was say hi with a straight face. Then second time I said hi he was alone and still straight faced, no smile. In class he always looks a me and his body language seems good. He directs his bod my way and It just seems like he likes me but I must be wrong. I sent him a friend request on Facebook and he declined It. It It because he didn't recognize me? or because he doesn't like me? What do you think? Thanks for the help. Tips would be nice.

Jessica Asked: Would you rather enter a prestigious beauty pageant or would you rather finish your degree at uni?

I have entered an application to a beauty pageant (that I've always wanted to do) and I am awaiting to see if I get called to interview. Say I pass this interview then I get to compete in the final in Asia. I am also a final year medical student after 6 years of studying. My final exams clash with the first two weeks of training for the pageant. So if I got through I would either have to not participate and do my exams, or postpone my exams until next year (in which case I'd have to repeat an entire year of hard labour). This is a very famous pageant and the winners get a contract to work on films and dramas. I don't want to wait another year as I am already at the upper age limit of being accepted.
If I did get accepted, then I have the dilemma of either completing my degree and becoming a doctor, or participating in this pageant, and see where it goes and finish my degree later. Or, the other situation is, hope for the best and hopefully be able to do both. Since the pageant is a once in a lifetime opportunity would I be silly to miss out?

Thanks!!

Jessica Asked: Was it really worth it for my daughter to go through transition male to female? What can I do for he

I have a daughter who was born a boy but has lived as a girl since she was nine. She is 20 now, has had SRS at age 18 and is a beautiful person inside and out but has no friends and no guy will date her once he finds out the truth. I can't express how frustrating it is so see so many girls she knows of act all polite when they visit her at her apartmentbut never seem to have time to go out anywhere with her. It's like they are shunning her. She says they always have better friends to hang out with. Despite the SRS and her developing into a beautiful woman it has gotten worst and worst for her and she suffers from depression and more and more isolation. She cannot seem to find a job and is too scared to go to school. She had been attending therapy until the last couple of years. She has turned to cigarettes and alcohol and I don't even want to know what else inside her apartment which my husband and I are paying for. She says it has always been this hard and she won't cooperate and try therapy again. We are considering not paying for the apartment until she goes back to therapy but that will mean she will end up back at home. I guess my real question is what can we do about her? The bottom line is she can't have any friends without worrying they will find out so she tells them her past. And this causes them to eventually shun her whether she's a good friend or not. The whole thing sickens me and we need some advice!

Jessica Asked: Is it normal to lose weight on adderall?

I've been taking adderall for a week and I've lost four pounds. I'm eating small meals so how is this happening? Of course I need to lose weight but I'd like to do it in a healthy manner. I'm taking adderall for concentration at work. Wasn't intended for weightloss.

Jessica Asked: Adderall, weightloss, and still eating?

I was just prescribed adderall 10mg once a day to help me concentrate and get organized at work. However I have only been on it for three days and as a side effect I've lost four pounds. Is this normal? What causes this to happen…I am eating small meals each day so how is this even possible? Has anyone experienced similar situation with adderall? I probably should have asked doc more questions. I am not too familiar with the drug.

Jessica Asked: I am attractive yet overwhelmed by insecurity?

I am a 24 yr old woman. I am 52, 115 lbs and most people would say I am attractive and I think I am too but I am still very insecure. I was always a somewhat quiet kid I never caused trouble with other girls, started rumors, picked on anyone etc..I was always the one who played with the kids nobody likedmy friends would pick on a nerdy kid and Id get mad at them and eat with the nerd because I felt so bad. I grew up alrightwith 3 brothers with whom I did everything with like skating, rollerblading, wrestling and all those other boy activities.
During middle school I was somewhat bullied by the chola Mexican girls because I myself am Mexican but I wasnt Mexican enough for their liking because I hung out with mainly white girls. I swear I almost got beat up a dozen times, for no particular reason. I guess they couldve been jealous but I was always so nice to everyone I didnt understand.
I had lots of boyfriends in school, never anything serious obviously at that age but my first real bf was when I was 15I was head over heels in love and we dated for 2 years and this was probably my first experience with emotional abuse. Things with this guy started off great but he ended up always lying & cheating. This was a very traumatic experience for me, especially at that age. Next boyfriend lasted 3 times longer and it was worse than I could ever imagine. Cheated, Lied, physically abusive at times and I swear he was like the devil in my world. I finally dumped him after 6 years and lots of therapy. I use to be outgoing, never shy, loud, funny, all around life of the party. Now I feel like I over think everything I say, do wear, etcIts like Im always nervous about looking bad, sounding dumb, not being good enoughI have a LARGE group of beautiful friends and I always feel like Im a little outcast which I know isnt true & Even now as I have the most attractive amazing loving man in my lifeI sometimes catch myself staring at him in somewhat shock that this handsome wonderful man loves me as much as I love him. It makes me very emotional because I feel Like Ive made so many mistakes and wasted so much time and effort on people who hurt me and I feel like a fool.
Im considering going back to therapy to help with these feelings because I dont want to be insecure about everyting. I want to be worry free and fun again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Jessica Asked: What do you think is race?

I mean, I know it is the color of skin. That is what race is. But why do you think it is? What is the point of its existence? Could a world not be fine if everyone was the same?
