  • Dear Buck,

    I can't stop watching your videos. I just found you today. I stayed up all night watching them. You are so happy all the time! I LOVE IT! <3 you make me happy

    Love, Me

  • i became a manager at 22, confidence is your best friend, be the best at what you do and people will follow, lead by example

  • People stare at my boyfriend all the time because he is physically disabled, his mother always told him that people stare at him because he is important.

  • Dear Buck,

    can we please please please meet your husband??

    love you!

  • ok buck 11 is 6th im 11 and im going ito 6th

  • 6:09 hahah

  • For the 11 year old with the older boy. OMG! You are SOO cute!!!

  • ARG BUCK IT SUCKS THAT YOUR GAY -.- i want to marry you!

  • i dont beleive kids, they say things to get attention and rope you in, kids today are softer than baby shit and they have more than they need, these kids are from really boring families, they have zombie parents and they crave the drama they perceive in the mtv reality show world that they think is the real world, to all the kids here realize a part of life is suffering, life is not ever going to be 100%, it can get close but never perfection, also theres always someone who had it a lot worse

  • I had lots of bfs when i was 11 and now im 13 and im like fuck it relationships are stupid im too young its not gonna go anywhere unleess i wanna be teen mom(which i dont wanna be ive never had sex i dont plan too for a long long time) and no offense to teen moms 11 is too young too date.

  • hey i know I'm on anonymous but theres an advice email i know and its called thereforyou239@aol.com. I've heard its really great and the person who is there is legit and has been through a lot and really helps. sorry I'm just saying from experience. <3 love you xoxoxoxoxx thereforyou239@aol.com

    also im posting this a lot sorry

  • Pssst.... Buck venesa may is in 6 or 5 grade

  • vanessa may,

    i know this vid is old but i still have advice. >.>

    im young, and ive had lots and lots of boyfriends.

    you don't want to have one- until youre ready. they arent serious, and they almost all end up with them cheating and lots of heartbreak. youre young, and still have your whole life and you dont need guys to worry about!

    ~clairrp

  • I like how you give advice. Very reasonable stuff :)

    To the girl who's gay and going to a Christian college: being a Christian myself I know that people can get really judgmental. I used to be. Fact of the matter is if they are mature about it and decide to stick to their doctrine--which is supposed to be to love your neighbor NO MATTER WHAT--then you'll be fine and you can come out. If they're still kind of iffy... that's up to you, sweetheart. Much love.

  • 11 is 6th grade

  • i used to write letters to my parents and they made fun of me...

  • Haha

    "I know you probably haven't been on Broadway"

    Probably.

  • Dear Buck, I just started high school & i believe that i have changed over the summer. I am popular in school but never really liked by the guys. they see me as one of them, not b/c i dressed manly. b/c i like video games...ex. This is really holding me back. I dont want to lie & pretend who i am. but i need change. I found a guy who likes me for who i am but sadly dumped me 2 weeks ago. My friends say that im better off single but now im scared that ill be single my whole life. Helpp please!!

  • how do i deal with people staring at my scars?

    my answer: tell them FUCK OFF wtf your looking at creep? make them look stupid. if it gets worse sue them

  • I see a hickey on his neck :B

  • I completely agree with Buck's advice. It annoys me to see such younger people at 10 & 11 already having boyfriends. Don't rush into relationships that young. Why do you think so many young girls are pregnent & have STDs now? It's because you are still too young to understand the meaning of love & aren't completely understanding the dangers of sexual activity. Just wait !

    Cyberhugs & have a great Monday. (:

  • To chelsea,

    i fell on a rock when i was playing with my friends and it gashed my knee open, i needed 56 stitches in my knee. random ppl stared at my brace when i wore it for a month, PEOPLE Who STARE AT U WHEN U WaLk DOWN THE STREET are not perfect either, you know that u would sttare at someone with no legs, or no arms.

    AND ALSO you wont see these people again in ur life!

  • "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT?"

    lol

  • Dear Buck,

    I agree on the advice you gave to 11 year old. I know 14 year old girls with babies. And it just seems like people are diving into things WAY too young. I may be 14 myself but I know what's approate and what isn't.

    ~Cierra

  • @peron75 dear buck! my name is jamie and im 14, i've had ALOT of issues with guys my own age so i tend to date or like the older guys, they are so much more mature then guys my age and i tend to get along with them alot better, but just about every older guy i like is perverted. adn some of them are just interesting in sex with me(even though i never have done it) it breaks my heart that that is all their interesting in. how do i deal with this? thanks muchh(: jamie!

  • Yeah, I'm only 13 and I'd like to have a boyfriend but its still young. I'd wait until you were 15 or so, maybe a little older, the point of being a teenager isn't to go out with a bunch of people, I mean with harmones and shit, that just makes you go thru the roof. Just take it slow... no need to rush into relationship (:

  • @SumGCFan41 GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!

    FINALLY! i didnt think there was such a thing as a 13 year old with common sense!

    that makes me very happy that youve figured out you dont need someone else to be happy and that ur just going to enjoy your youth! POWER TO YOU!

  • @UltraCute101 Lmao, thanks. (: It kind of sickens me walking through my school and seeing people practically having sex in the halls. Ewh, get a room >_>

  • @SumGCFan41 exactly, you dont need to get suckered in by that. most of those kids dont even know what their doing, or even how to do it right ;)

    I think u will find someone really special.

  • MAKEUP for the scars will work! There's products out there that will cover them up!

  • @Mrules123 i have no acting experience but i do know that every actor has been rejected. Miley auditioned for several things as a preteen and was rejected harshly. She had to audition again and again. Krista from Top Model auditioned 13 cycles before she was picked and went on to become the winner of cycle 14! If acting is truly what you want most in your future then you will learn to use criticism to improve. "Never a mistake; always a lesson." Hope i helped and best of luck : )

  • Dear Buck, Hi Buck your awesome im 12 and I want to be an actress so im trying to find

    acting jobs or commercial that i can potentialy be in . My mom says that i might not be able to take their critizizum i did not spell that right but whatever. So if I do get into acting how can i take their critizizum!! lol luv ya Buck !! thnx luv: M !! :D

  • @Mrules123 You should most defiantly folllow you dreams! Their criticism will make you a better actress. They aren't trying to put you down, they are trying to make you a stronger person. When you make it in the big time, and all of those paparazzi are trying to find stuff out about you, whether its a lie or the truth it will make you stronger. Tell your mom that you are going to try out for commercials and become an actress. You are 12 and already know that you what you want to become!

  • @greekbaby171 wow thank you so much for the great advice

  • Girls aren't as homophobic as guys are....thats my experience.

  • dear buck

    i was thinking about breaking up with my boy friend of 5 year & just to tell u my bro. messed up my channle and my real age is 12... my boy f.'s dad has canser this rare one that starts at the leg and moves up to lungs and hes ben throught losts of things in my opinyon... hes real nice and he makes me lol and we have kissed but it just feels like we r just good friends NOT including the KISS

    i am so confused and i cant think of a good way to break up with him

    HELP BUCK PLZ ! T~T

  • @Yoshiegg11 You've been dating tis guy since you were 7? I doubt it.

    But do what you feel is right. Plus, you're young to be dating. Seriously. Give it a few years, and THEN try dating. You'll know more about who you are, you'll be more comfortable with yourself, and you'll be more mature. Honestly, 12 is young to be dating. I

  • @Chelsea You could also catch their eyes and smile at them. That way they will know you noticed and they will either smile back or turn away :)

  • aww little hug buddies ;) lol

  • chealse things happens, accidents happen in life, but it was not ur fault so u don't need to feel cautious or bad about nything instead ur should feel a better person then others since u have been thru this misery and u shud b strong, if sum body stares at u, u cud jst ignore them or if its really bothering u u cud smile back at them as if u don't even realize that he is staring at u coz of ur scar but rather coz may b ur good looking :P

  • dudeee ur so much less gay in this video :P

  • how can any stranger tell you how to fix ur relationship wid ur family??DAmnn relationships can be extremely complicated sumtym, bt its about trust, bonding and understanding dat u hve wid ur loved ones.and doesn't even matter if you don't even see them for ages.

  • He is telling u to explain to ur dad and simply not being explained and dat he is a jerk, even if he is a jerk or drunkard he's still ur dad u can trust em more then u can trust dis fucker Judy, he's is evil.hehe messing up wid early teenager' kid's head..woho woho, Waka Wakaa

  • so u r gay buck? =o figured it

  • to Judy I think you just have to forget your parents for now. If you are going to college especially just have to realize that you're out of the house and they can't control you, you can do more fun things but dont do anything crazy keep your grades up and then you can show your dad you can handle yourself. I'm recently 19 thats what i had to do. It helped a lot

  • chelsea i was abused and i have to walk with a cane and just nicely point out that there doing it and tell them your story

  • You give such good advice. I am frequently told that I need to be more assertive, but it's not something that comes very naturally to me, so I appreciated hearing your advice. Also I agree that 11 is way too young to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. I'm only 24, and I remember being that age and seeing people around me start dating and even then I thought it was too young. Kids should just enjoy being kids and not be in such a hurry to grow up.

  • I was born with a cleft lip and palate (google it) and people stare at me ALL the time. And yeah, Buck is right. Just call people out and tell people what's wrong with ur face and then they feel all guilty and they wont do it again..

  • how do i get over a boy who says he loves me but goes for another?

  • Hey, Buck I would just like to say im 12 and that 11 is grade 5 and beginning of 6 xD also that I know from girls at my school that boyfriends that age is just u hang out at school maybe sit next to eachother a hug 1 KISS is all in a corner but just a peck lol and only 1 in ur whole realitionship and thats all and also kids giggle at u and scream OMG U THINK THAT GUY IS CUTE WHOAAA HAHAHAHA so yea and to emily i think its that ur older guy thinks ur cute not hot :p and is jsut being sweet to u

  • it might hurt but.... I learned that w/ sand, that you can rub it on the scars and take them off w/ no prob./ no pain...

  • Good for you Michael my mother taught me that gay is ok i would say just tell you roomate how you feel towards women if they she is homophobic thats there problem.

    sincerely,Andrew

    :)

  • hey buck i am 11 and its not too young most kids get boyfriends at 9 all my friends have boyfriends everyone in 5th grade has a boyfriend or girlfriend except the slow kids but some are together them selves but they do not kiss or anything eles but hold hands and hang out or dance together its not that young!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! take it from a 11 year old pluse your awsome with awsome videos

  • @awsome12stuff hi :] i read ur comment and i just wanted to say that i agree with u about how young kids like urself (im srry if u dont like being called a young kid DX) get bfs or gfs. i used to think that it was normal and i was kind of jealous at some of my friends who did have bfs back when i was 12. im gonna be a junior in high school now, and my opinion about dating has changed completely, i feel that its pointless to be dating at such a young age bcuz there is nothing to gain from it

  • @H3LLOxKiMCHi I agree with you. I'm graduating highschool this year. When I was younger, I was jealous that everyone else had a boyfriend. Now, I don't really care that I've never had a boyfriend. When you're 11 and 12, you don't really have a deep connection. Where as now, relationships mean a lot more. People get to know each other better first. Back in middle school, people would date without really knowing the other person at all.

  • Ugh no! 11 is young sto0 this madness lol I use to want to date at that age but really don't waste your time it won't last forever.. To young.

  • Emily- I go to a catholic high school and, although the administration does not look highly upon homosexuality, the student body is incredibly accepting of it! I mean, there will always be some haters out there but Buck's right! It's 2010! Who needs them? I think that with the right attitude you'll do great in college and meet tons of accepting people, it doesn't matter that your school is Christian.

  • 11 was young back when you were a kid, but now a-days 12 and 13 year olds kiss, make out, and at 14 a lot of people are having sex, giving blow jobs, its fucked up, but, what can you do?

  • Congradulations Chris! (even though i dont know u :) and for Vanessa, well... i know how u feel and i'm onley 10! theres a boy in class that i feel for and i'm not sure if he feels the same way. i'm VERY picky about boys and i've liked him for 2 years! i dont know what 2 tell u cause i need help 2 ! i'm going 2 6th grade after summer brake and i wont be seeing him any more. he went out with both my closest friends and broke up with them 2. HELP!!

  • seen as though you are ten, which i am too, i would try not to think about it too much because we are only young and i'm not worrying about that yet!!

  • @poprocken hi =D i read your comment and i want to give u my opinion on ur situation. i think that if you REALLY like him then you could try going out with him. but relationships between kids don't last, and i know this from experience (im 16 now), this might be weird coming from me because im still really young myself, but i dont think you should do it, now i dont want to be all negative and say that u and him will never be, but just think about it, do you think you 2 would last?

  • ohh gosh 11!!! lol im 15 and still havent had a boyfriendlol

  • love ya :)

  • Emily -- I go to a Catholic hs and the administration is severely homophobic. I say tell people that you trust cause it's really iffy depending on the school.

  • For Vanessa, you should ending 5th grade right? Well not to sound like a jerk but you should stop worrying about him as a date. Just be friends with him and it will go from there. :) Good luck

    And I laughed so hard when you were reading that question, Buck, just because of your expression lol

  • im a 11 and im in 6th

  • @Dialated4Heartbreak Dont kill yourself that won't you or ur family because first of all ur dead. Second, I think if u even were horriable to ur parents they still love u and it would hurt them more if u died. (ur girlfriend sounds like a bitch don't listen to her)

  • For Chelsea  I think u should listen to buck and tell them the situation u were in. U don't need to go up to everyone and tell them but if tell one then other people won't stare either. I'm sorry about ur parents they sound like bitches.

  • 11 is too young to date! I agree!! I'm 13 and I think 13 is still to young!

    love you buck!!

    (11 is 5th or 6th grade by the way :))

  • THANK YOU FOR DEARBUCK! =) They help me be happyyy :D

  • Buck, the eleven year old girl and the thirteen year old boy only have two years between them. There's no real problem with it!

    Don't be so old :P

    <3 <3 Kidddding!

  • Chris - I had the same problem. When I was at the interview for the promotion, I explained that I could be assertive if I had the authority. Previously, I had never told people what to do because I didn't have the authority. Maybe you can be more assertive after a promotion too?

    The older I've gotten, the more confident I've become. It could take time.

  • i love you!

  • hey buckster i have a problem...

    i have treated my parents horribly and now i reaping all the hell that comes with it.

    soo my girl friend says''well if your too stressed out then kill your self'' well what should i do do i dump her and tell my parents what she said orr do i take her advice.

    p.s. i am very open minded.......please help me ill watch next friday.

    i love you buddy thanx for helping...if you decide to :|

  • @dialated4heartbreak Do NOT kill yourself. That is NEVER the answer. I would dump her. Fast. It doesn't sound like she really care about you, if she's telling you to kill yourself. You're always gonna feel bad about how you treated your parents. Eventually you'll learn to cope with it. But maybe you could talk to them about it and apologize?

  • lol when I was back in grade 4 kids were dating, society has changed in that way. =/

  • Buck, your advice for Chelsy is excellent because it will help her cope with something that she's ok with.

    11 is young.

  • @vanessmay: eleven is either end of fifth and beginning of sixth grade. a select few people in my sisters class are dating older boys. personally, i agree with buck, you shouldn't be worrying about dating yet. maybe if you're brave enough you could tell him that you like him but also maybe say that you aren't ready for a relashionship. if he doesn't like you back then just tell him that you're cool with just being friends. hope this helped!! cyberhugs!! best wishes!! ☺

  • i am 11 and i watch ur show and the grade is usually 5 but if she is turning 12 soon she is probaly in 6

  • Buck u rock u should bring ur huband on the show 1 time i wanna meet him lol GO BUCK

  • I love the term "Potential Hugger" Buck you are great at this.

  • In response to the girl who worries about being stared at. I'm a girl with no hair - lost to stress a few years ago. I disagree with what your mom did (no dissing your mom). I've had kids point to me and say "She has no hair", and their moms freak! The kid is telling the truth - why freak out? Instead, I say "yes, I have no hair. You know sometimes when you get scared, and you get butterflies in your tummy? Well, when I got scared, I lost my hair instead. I'm not sick, I just have no hair." ;)

  • ahah buck i love you! :)

  • Dear Buck

    My names Kait, I've been having problems with my best friend for about a month. I'm a big fan of the same band as her and the same band as one of her other friend so she stopped being friends with me. I think she's being stupid since it's just a band but she seems to think that it's worth not being friends anymore and she won't talk to me. I still want to be friends with her but I don't know if I should keep trying or give up.

  • 11 Is 6th Or 7th Grade And 13 Could Be 7th Or 8th Depending On the Birthday

    -Pinky

  • 11 is fith grade. and 13 is 8th grade.

  • Hey, I'm 15 and I like a guy and I sent him a note asking if he likes me but he still hasn't answered after 3 weeks. I like him and everyone says he likes me back but I know for a fact he likes another girl. He might like me too and I'm sure he used to but now I'm afraid and I don't know what to do. Should I avoid him?

  • You're so hilarious!

  • your funny

  • @peron75 Buck i have a problem, im 17 now and when i was 13 my sister died and for almost 3years after i suffered from deep depression and anorexia but over came it when i was 16. This may sound pathetic but a few months ago my best friend was killed and i have stopped eating and got depression all over again, what can i do to help myself without getting counselling again as i dont want my mum to know and have to go through hell again because im not strong enough? thanks in advance,Love Savannah

  • @babyy61 I'm so sorry. You're amazing though. You've lost so much, and you still haven't given up. You may be depressed (who wouldn't be?), but you're trying to help yourself. People like you keep the world spinning.

  • As for Vanessa's situation, I definitely think 11 years old is too young to date. I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16, but I had my first boyfriend at 15 and looking back, I totally wasn't ready to be in any kind of committed relationship then. I think it's really important to develop relationships, so I'm really glad that majority of my youth was spent creating strong, genuine friendships rather than solely focused on the opposite sex.

  • Hannah May, I'd say go for it! It seems like you two have some chemistry so why not? Just keep in mind that you are young, and to not take things too far. Enjoy each other's company, have fun, but don't be pressured to do anything you're not comfortable with.

  • #VIDEOPOSTERID#, now there definitely is a web site that you can easily goto to be able to watch complete television episodes, sport matches and movies. You'll find it over at stream episodes (.) net not to mention, I use it every single day to watch many of the tv episodes I miss.

    DON'T STARE AT PEOPLE!!!

  • vanesa may,

    omg 11 is waaay to young for relationships... sweetheart, dont jump into that horrible stuff, u dont drama at 11. enjoy being care-free while u can

  • @AtTaCkwithHuGz yall need to fuck off that is the one he had that i disagred with and u know im 15 and at 11 i had my first bf at 13 i lost my v card and at 15 i have pregney scars all the time

  • @hollydawnisme ok... that was just my opinion.

  • @AtTaCkwithHuGz ikr??!?! even high school is CONSIDERED TOO YOUNG

    why: because if u really cared about your education u won't ruin it at high school, in case u have sex and have a baby, who the fuck will support him? u can barely support yourself! the most ideal age to date and marry and all that shit (etc) is during/after university

  • Oh hell no! Don't come out if your in a christian school! They're just a bunch of gay bashin redneck homophobs! I'm sure 75% of them might flip out and might try to pray you to death! With the holy water and all! DON'T DO IT!

  • To The Elven Year Old, i'd say go out with him. enjoy kissing him and being with him. but don't let him take advantage of you. don't have sex with him, or do things of a sexual nature. i promise you that you will regret it. i know i did. so just keep in mind your age and have fun having a boyfriend and going to school.

  • she is not to young to date i am 11 years old i got asked out by a 8 grader im in 6 grade and i have a boyfriend but he is in 6 grade to.

  • @shellyshel98 yea but by dating, do you mean you just say your "going out" but nothing happens? That doesn't really count

  • 11 is the first year of secondary/ high school :)

  • Yu give great advice :)

  • Hey Buck,

    I'm 17 years old and never had a boyfriend. I wouldnt consider myself ugly or fat (Im not upmyself ether I can also see my faults) I've been described as down to earth and saying it as I see it. Dont get me wrong I've been asked out before but only twice and each time I've said no because They arn't the kind of boys I am attracted too. Do boys really just like those girls who are girly and not down to earth? Should I change myself ? I know you should never do that but im 17 and single!

  • @WorldOfJane Nooo way. As a girl who has 99% guy friends, you are the type of girl they love. A lot of them actually find the girly girl ditsy ones super annoying.. The only reason they get a lot of guys is.. hate to say it, but because they are generally "Easier". Or "looser" I guess. Best advice? Become confident with yourself the way you are and be happy single. Love will come when its time, and men LOVE self confidence and people who know who they are and aren't afraid to be it.

  • Dear buck , my name is abbie-leigh and im 13 years old. i like this boy who's in the year above me. i know he likes me to but nothin ever happens. when i talk to him online he sometimes is all sweet but other times he ignores me. i dont know if i should tell him i want somethin to happen or if i should just stop likin him , help me pleasee ! btw i love your videos

  • hhahah the 11 thing ahahah he got embarrassed

  • @EVERYONE and @peronn75 This is Chris, from the question Buck answered. THANK YOU SOO MUCH BUCK for answering and responding, it was a big shock to here you answer my question. And THANK YOU to everyone in the comments(yes I went threw all of them :] ) I'm hoping to take everyones advise and apply it to my new position. :) I can't tell you all how much you have helped. :)

    P.S. The store I work at is Banana Republic. :D

    Thanks again!

    Chris.

  • @ManX44 I think you should be yourself. If you need to show people that you aren't one to be pushed around, then you should. You should be assertive, yet don't change because people tell you too. If you're not assertive, then don't try to be, but don't let other employees push you around. I wish you tons of luck on the job, Chris.

  • Dear Buck, My name's Maggie and I'm 16 years old. My little sister, Francesca, is 11 and going into middle school next year. I'm really nervous for her cause when I went to middle school I found out that people at young ages, like 13 and 14, smoke weed or drink and I'm scared she'll do bad things behind my family's back. She's not the type of person who tells the truth all the time. Should I be a total snoop and be suspicious? Or trust her?

  • Dear Emily, I have a mental illness and everytime I am put with a new roommate I tell them on the first week so that they know. I know that there are no parallels between a mental illness and being gay, but I have just learned that airing out my dirty laundry the first day always helps in the long run

  • Hey buck! I was wondering what you thought about GPAs..I'm a high school student and I'm having a big battle in my head between GPAs and education. I have a GPA of 3.9 and I'm just tired of keeping up A's. Grades =/= education. I was wondering if...I should just learn what I like and learn what I'm interested in. Thanks a lot!

  • For Chris: Ask politely, like he said, offer your help and show your ability to provide clarity if someone is confused. Best advice I've given in a while :)

  • EMILY- I'm in the EXACT same boat as you. When you start to meet your roommate start a conversation about how she views homosexuality. If she seems accepting, tell her, If she doesn't, make a decision if you want her to know, or not to know. As for other people, don't hide it, but don't make a point to include it in every sentence. That way you will be surrounded with people that accept and will love you.

  • im 12. 8:40 i think its alright.

  • haha 'what r u looking at?!?!?'

  • Emily, wait till you are really friends with her then tell

  • Catholic schools suck

  • Dear Buck,

    I have like 25 friends who like them same girl. Should I tell her?

    P.S.I don't like her, I don't even know who she is. But I can find out.

  • Dear Buck

    I'm having trouble with my friend. She does stupid things and constantly makes me worry about her (which is even giving me stomach aches lately) now she's wearing scary makeup to school and telling me she's emo. I try talking to her but she won't take me seriously! I really want to stay friends with her but I feel like I have to be her "over-protective parent" (I don't think her parents are doing a very good job at it) How do I get her to understand how I feel? Please help.

    ~Kennedy

  • Dear Buck I'm a 16 year old girl at an all girls school and I don't seem to get a lot of respect from my friends because I'm a virgin. It's not that my friends are being mean about it it's just that can be very patronising and it's really pissing me off. It's not that I don't want to do it or anything I just want wait til I have a boyfriend but I feel like they're treating me like the baby not ready for sex yet

  • @whatdeyecallher Hahaha, your only 16 years old.... No big deal.

  • @whatdeyecallher: When I was younger I had people that would sort of look down on me for being a virgin (I was actually saving myself for my husband). First of all, if you're feeling pressured by these girls to do something just to be more like them, don't do it. You'll regret it for the rest of your life.

  • @whatdeyecallher : (continued from last post) If it's just the fact that it's pissing you off, go ahead and tell them in a nice, direct way. If they're truly your friends, they'll stop. If they don't, maybe it's time for some new friends, because they obviously don't respect you.

  • Dear Buck,

    I'm 13 years old and I haven't been to school since March because I have mono. I got a tutor so I wouldn't have to stay back a year, and when my report card came home with a 98% average and I was invited to join several academic groups, my sister started acting really rude to me. I think she's jealous of the attention from my parents, but we usually have a great relationship and I miss hanging out with her even though I'm frustrated with her. please help! -Rachel

  • im like 16, and 11 year old and 13 is a huge leap in maturity.

  • 13 should be 7th and 8th so 11should be 5th or 6th

  • Dear Buck, i love being in my school musicals and such of that way but i go to a dance class and my 2 best friends go to a different dance class and they always say my dance classes suck and theirs are better also i love to sing and act so i tried out for the genie in my school play aladdin my friend said my singing sucked and so did my acting yet everybody else said i was REALLY good i dont know either to stop or keep following my dream as an actor PLEASSEEEE HELLPPP luv ur vids.

  • I love Dear Buck x]

    By the way when you're 11 you're in the 6th grade. (13 is 8th)

  • @FairieCorpse624 most people are 12 and are turning 13 in the same year of 7th grade, so in you are 13 years old you can be in 7th or 8th grade :)

  • I have the same problem as Judy but my parents would stop reading the letter or pretend that I never wrote it.

  • Dear Buck,

    I have a crush on a senior & i'm a sophomore. I see him at his locker, but I haven't introduced myself yet. I first saw him in the school play & he's amazing. Its hard for me to meet new people b/c i'm shy b/c of my weight & I don't want to seem weird. I know if I don't do it soon i'll never see him again b/c hes graduating & I know i'll regret it if I don't talk to him, but I cant seem to just walk up & talk to him. Have any advice? If I do go up to him, what should I say?

    Thanks

    Bri

  • Marty, I have advice directly from Broadway stars. They all bought Backstage Magazine every week. Backstage has lists of open casting calls. They have a youtube channel- Backstagecasting. Check it out. :) Also, go to EVERY audition, no matter how crazy it is. Get as much experience as possible. Theatre is all about networking. Good luck!

  • @Chris You have to take charge in a respectable manner and stand out among your fellow employees as much as you can.......its all about being a leader.

  • Watching Dear Buck has been something to look forward every week :)

    I love you Buck :D

  • @Chris, my names is Chris too. I actually had that problem before as well, with not standing up or being assertive. I find it happens a lot, especially to my shy friends (don't know if that applies to you or not), but my recommendation is to just be firm but not mean. If you take intelligent stands and show confidence people will listen to you and you'll come across great to upper management.

  • @Emily

    I go to a Christian University and I know multiple lesbians, and bi girls that go there. It's completely up to you, but I found that people there didn't judge them at all! :)

    My roommate was bisexual and we got along completely fine. She's actually my best friend! She was really open about it and it didn't bother me or any of our friends.

    If your roommate freaks out when you tell her then that's her problem, but you shouldn't feel self-conscious about it at all! Be honest! :D

  • I dated someone for almost a year when I was about 11 but it was so not serious. I mean, we broke up 10 times. XD Not a good age to start dating. Doesn't bring you any good.

  • 11 is about 6th grade... When I was 11 I was in 5th grade cuz I started kindergarden at age 7

  • Aw your Mother brought you up well Micheal! =] I just want to say, that I think you are a brilliant person to be helping people with all of their problems, you always see the positive side of things and cheer people up! When I am having a crap day, I come home and watch What The Buck or Dear Buck and I feel better straight away! Thanks Buck! =]

  • Chris; Make a list of things that need to be done on a daily basis so that you don't have to bark the same orders every day. Have a good sense of humor and be forgiving. Suggest different approaches for situations where you think they can improve.

  • Chelsey! If people stare at you. Look back at them and smile. It would make them embarrassed. And they will stop staring. Some people might even smile back at you awkwardly, but I assure you that smiling at people and getting smiles back at you would make you feel better. Also, it would show that you're a friendly person beyond those scars that you have and embrace. Be yourself and be happy! :D

  • @Chelsey. I am disabled. I walk with a severe limp,it just looks plain weird when I walk. Most people stare because they are curious but too afraid to actually come out and ask,why I am like the way I am. Buck's advice was perfect. I would just call them out,put them on the spot. People hate being put on the spot! Don't be rude about it,but let them know you noticed they were staring at you. Fill them in as to why you have scars. Usually they only really want know why you look like that!

  • I had a girlfiend for 4 years and it ended when i was 11. We loved eachother so much....but your right it is too young.

  • 11 to 13 is only a 2-year difference, but dating at 11 is really young to date, and kids at 13 usually have a different mentality.

  • Chelsey I like what buck says about calling them out and all and i've had a few surgeries myself and i use vitamin e oil and it reduces the scars appearance. it may be kinda pricey but a tiny bit goes a really long way

  • Dear Buck, I am in eighth grade and I go to a magnet school (a school that you apply for and you aren't zoned for.) Now that it's the end of the school year I'm looking at magnet high schools. My mom wants me to go to my zoned school but I am very worried about going there considering that when I went to my zoned elementary school I had no friends. I don't want to lonely and cry everyday like I used to. HELP!!!!!!!!!

  • He deleted the 13th ...

  • Dear Buck, I got a crush on my best guy friend and my best friend (girl) hates him like hell! I think the guy likes me back. But he's like, the school hottie cuz girls likes him so much but no offence to the other girls but he says likes me best cuz of my personality. My best friend (girl) says it's a bad idea to tell him how i feel about him, but he is SO sweet to me. Me and the guy friend talks to me about my best friend (girl) but he NEVER meant it in a bad way, so what do i do? I need help!

  • @sh4r0nZ She's probably jealous. Tell her that you really like this boy and you'd appreciate it if she dialed the hate back a little. If she doesn't respect that, then you don't need her.

  • assertive: I find saying things like "we need replenish stock...(or)...or we need to clean up the floor" is a great way to start if your uncomfortable being assertive, soon you'll move on to dirrect commands.

  • I agree with Buck, Chelsea. I have some scars from surgery and people stare all the time. I approach them nicely and they are usually ashamed for staring.

  • Dear Buck,

    I just recently had a bad break up with my boyfriend. He basically broke up with me while he was at work and got me a ticket back to PA. He also is now back with his ex who had his baby about two years ago. But the thing is he didn't even wait more than one day to let her move in. I still have stuff there too that I couldn't get through the airport. My question is how does someone just wake up and stop loving someone? I'm completely crushed even though I'm trying so hard to move on.

  • @lailaXbunny It's never just an overnight thing. Usually the person has an inkling of the truth for a while until it finally hits them and they have to make the big decisions. It was rather insensitive of him to move in with his ex right away, but obviously if he doesn't have enough respect to take your feelings into account then you are better off without him.

  • 11= 5th grade I'm 11/ in 5th grade almost 6th! =)

  • Dear Buck,

    A bunch of my guy friends made a list of all the girls they knew and rated them on a scale of 1-10 for looks and personality. For personality, I got an 8, but for looks I got a 4. Ever since I found that out I've been really self conscious about how I look. Should I take this list seriously and try and improve how I look, or should I just try to improve my self confidence? Because I don't know if that rating has a glimmer of truth in it. Thanks for the help!

    Hannah

  • @heartlandcutie13 Don't worry about the list. Mostly that's based on the leader's opinion versus that of the entire group. Plus being so very shallow and irritating, I'm sure that it made many of the normally self confident girls self conscious. Just think! I'm sure there are girls that they rated 8 for looks and 4 for personality! Which is waaay worse lol.

  • To Emily - I graduated from a conservative Christian university in December. She should make sure she knows the university's policies before she comes out. Some school administrations may try to pressure her into getting counseling or joining a support group if it becomes publicly known that she's homosexual. They may even have a policy against homosexual people living in the dormitories. It may be 2010, but I know from experience that these places can feel more like they're stuck in 1910!

  • haha i love you xD

  • Hey buck, first off I love both this and your WTB show its always funny lol. Anywas I just came out to my mom a few days ago about being bi after being quiet for 3 years. I was quiet becuse I thought my mom was homophobic. (long story) anyways turns out she accepted me. (Yay!) But bad news is is that my only brother does not accept me for who I am. Do you think I should bare it till I move out and cut all ties with him or do I talk to him and what do I say?
