Another GREAT week of questions and advice for last week's questions and comments!
Keep them coming! 

To recap, last week's "Situation of the Week":
Your boyfriend just told everyone you two did something (skip school, sex, etc) that you didn't do. How do you handle it?

"Break up with him immediately". ~Kathy
#4
"Make him/her tell everyone the truth". ~Abraham
#3
"First find out if he really said it, (can you trust the source?) and if so we are having a major talk...with his mom around! ~ Allison
#2
"Ask him why he would do that, then proceed to make him make it right". ~Zandra

And this weeks #1 "Gutsy Girl of the Week" answer is....(drumroll please)
"Make sure as many people are around as possible, as I break up with him while telling everyone why, when they are all standing there watching/hearing". ~Elizabeth

As I explained in my Mission Statement I want the site to be a place where girls can ask questions, get advice, or vent about a problem they are having. GWG will answer or give advice in response to the emails, but I will also open the questions up to the website, so girls across the country can help each other.
 
Here are this week's Top 5 Questions:

#5
GWG was asked "I want to ask a boy out. He and I are friends but he's so shy. Should I just do it?
Write your own rules, I say!! Sure,go for it! Otherwise you'll always wonder what 'could have been'.

GWG was asked "I'm 14 and I want to ask my very strict mom questions about sex. Do you have any suggestions to get the conversation started?
Well timing is everything. When you know it's not a busy time, make a snack (or lunch or dinner) and invite her for a chat. Start out when she says something like "Oh, this is nice! What brought this on", because she'll be surprised, lol, there is your open door. Take it! It will be fine!

 #3
GWG was asked "I like an African American boy at my school and I am Caucasian. I want to tell my parents but I am afraid. What can I do?
Much like my response above, carve out some time. Sit down together and discuss it. What you don't want to do is just bring him over because they will be upset that you caught them off guard, not that you brought over an African American boy. So again communication is the key!

 #2
GWG was asked "My parents are always saying "life is short" but when I live for the moment about something I get into trouble. What's up with that?
Well, first I can imagine that you did something spontaneous that is against the rules, is why you got into trouble? If so, then the 'life is short' thing won't apply. Like "life is short" I am going to rob a bank...duh! Yes, life is short, so think about it this way. Do you want to waste it being grounded? Just a thought!
 
And our most popular issue this week seemed to be pressure to sneak out at night...Question #1
GWG was asked "My boyfriend (or friends) want me to sneak back out after my curfew. I don't want to lose my friends but I don't want to get into trouble either. What do I do?
Well, I can tell by your question you already know the answer. You said "I dont want to get into trouble". Your friends, if they are true friends, will have to understand you don't want to risk it!! If your boyfriend breaks up with you because you won't...then he wasn't much of a boyfriend to begin with! Right??
