AboutNorthstar Expertise I can answer questions about how to make a long distance relationship work, how to work through conflicts that may occur within a relationship (ie jealousy, trust issues, controlling behavior, insecurity). I also know how to work WITH parents and siblings in a positive way so that they respect a couple's boundaries, and don't try to chase significant others away. I can answer questions about sex (whether you are being sexually harrassed, or if you are trying to figure out if you are ready to have sex). I can also answer questions about abuse (whether it is emotional or physical) and provide solutions and ways to protect yourself. I can also answer questions about how to read body language, how to approach a crush and get to know someone better. I can help people navigate conflict between friends and significant others. I know how to fix dating mishaps (ie how to minimize an awkward moment and turn it around to YOUR advantage).
Experience I had many different types of relationships when I was in high school, and I believe that going to college also helped me better understand the dynamics of dating. I have younger cousins that are in high school, and I frequently help them with their problems (and their friends' problems too!). When you are a teen, dating can be very confusing and tricky, I have the experience and know how to help people work through their problems in a positive way. I've dealt with just about every problem out there, from friends who gossip to over protective parents. I understand that when a problem arises, it can be devastating, and sometimes a person just needs someone to listen to what they are going through and provide some helpful words.
Education/Credentials I recently graduated from college with a BA in History.
Question Im a sophomore girl (15) in high school. Im in marching band, and were all pretty much close friends who joke around with everyone. Theres this one senior guy (17) who never really looks at me or talks to me. I've known this kid like my whole life, and our parents are friends, though we were never really friends when we were little. So why would he act like this? He doesnt really treat anyone else like this...
Thanks!
Answer There's a very easy way to find out why he is acting this way: go up and ask him. Not when you're in the middle of class, but before or after school. Find him and talk to him.
Ok, so maybe you don't think talking to him will be easy, I'm guessing that's why you're asking strangers to solve this problem for you. But it IS the best way to figure out what's going on. Either that, or just ignore him. There are lots of annoying people in the world. Don't sweat the small stuff.
