How to gain your parents trust, as in they'd trust you to be okay if you went out to a party or to Hang out with friends for the day.

This is a very good question, I might reanswer it in a video but the best way to gain their trust is to show them that you are responsible, considerate and open with them about what you want to do. Try helping out around the house more, try telling them what you're doing with your friends or how late you'll be out to. Anything you can do to show them that there's an open flow of communication will get them to realize that you're handling situations in a very mature way and they will hopefully be more lenient in allowing you to do other things as long as you continue to openly communicate with them.

My friends are starting to smoke, I'm afraid they'll pressure me into doing it, how do I tell them no without sounding like a douche?

The best thing to do is to tell them that you're not into it. If they say "but how do you know unless you try it" just stick to your statement and don't get pressured into having to explain yourself beyond that. If you know it's bad then you don't need to reason with someone on why. It might be very tough but stay strong and don't give in to peer pressure like that.

Listen to Swimming pools and look out for detox by Kendrick Lamar and make sure that swimming pools is the extended version homeboy

cool man I'll give it a listen

hey I'm that guy Michael Jackson down there who was sending messages I'm on a new acc and what's the best way to build attraction

Awok3n Matrix
the best way to build attraction become confident. By her seeing that you are optimistic, open to having a good time, and want to get to know her better she's going to see that there's a lot of opportunity with you and that is attractive.

Yes, I am in summer camp now and I will be there for next 2 weeks ;)

awesome man, I'll try to make that video soon. I'm going to VidCon next week so maybe I'll try to do it as soon as I get back from vidcon.

U listen to any K.dot (Kendrick Lamar) cause he my niggah

I haven't listened to Kendrick Lamarr before do you have any recommendations for songs?

K I like this girl but I got rejected. And now I just want to be friends with her but she still thinks I like her so she is giving me the cold shoulder. what should I do.

ask yourself honestly, do you still like her? The reason she thinks you do is because the idea of transitioning to friendship after you confess your feelings to someone or ask them out is very difficult. It's going to be hard for her to see that you genuinely want an actual friendship with no strings attached and that you're not going to get jealous if she likes or talk to another guy. It's hard to convince a girl of that once you've already told her that you like her. The safest thing might be to not try to go into a friendship but to allow things to be casual and at a point where you guys can talk to each other rather than hanging out all the time.

So I took ur advice and I messaged a few girls that I knew on insta but no luck yet. The girl I liked has taken a backseat. I can focus on other stuff now. Thanks

Michael Jackson
good for you man, just try to expand your opportunities and to learn more about new people that way you don't get stuck in hung up on this one girl.

When you first start texting a girl how do you convince her to wanna date you.

don't focus too much on trying to set up a romantic date with her. Instead, try to set up a session where you guys can hang out and just get to know each other better. For example you can look up a cool ice cream shop and tell her that sounds awesome and that she should come check it out with you. From there try to set up a date for you to meet up and actually do it. If you do it that way then you not only have a location to go to but you also have a place to start to build the romance rather than expecting the day to automatically be romantic because you asked her out.

Can you make a video on how to make a move at the movies and get her to kiss you.

I'm kind of torn on the idea of making a move at the movies. I feel like we've been told that it's the perfect place to put your arm around the girl and to kiss her but I feel like you have this huge screen in front of you that's distracting you. If you're going to watch a movie that neither of you care about and both of you know that you're there to just make out then fine, but otherwise I would save the making a move and kissing her for after the movie or before the movie. Wait for a moment that's quiet, a moment where neither of you are talking and there's that awkward silence. Turn that awkward silence into a moment where you lean in and kiss her, that's the best time to do it in my opinion.

How to get along with your crushes friends??

the simple way to get along with your crush his friends are to try to find common interest that you guys share. The best way to do that is to ask them questions like what their hobbies are what are their plans for the summer or what they want to be when they grow up. By learning more about them, they'll become more open to the idea of you talking to your crush and they may even try to help you get closer to her.

How to pick up a girl at the mall and make her wanna watch a movie with you.

I would focus first on picking her up. if you attach A with B here then you're trying to force things to go your way rather than reading the natural flow of things. If you see a group of girls at the mall a good place to start conversation may be while they're eating or just hanging out. if you see them actively shopping then they might feel like you're throwing them off course. For the most part people don't like to be interrupted, so be mindful of what she's doing there. As for transitioning to the movies, getting an on the spot movie date is tough but if you're talking about following up with a movie date then try to work in the idea of how you want to go to the movies when you talk to her in the mall. Say there's a movie out and you want to check it out in the convo and if you get her number then later text or call her to invite her to check it out with you.

Nvm I can't get over this girl. I really liked her. For the last few nights I couldn't get her outta my head. I never felt this way before. What do I do?

Michael Jackson
I know man, it's incredibly tough to move on sometimes but the best thing to do is to refocus your attention on something else. If you find yourself getting hung up on the girl then try to focus on talking to new girls. Message other girls you're Facebook friends with or on instagram and once you start building connections there you're going to see more opportunity with new girls and this one will not disappear but will certainly take a backseat.

Hey josh. I like this girl that I got rejected from. We r going to differnt schools next year. I DMed here on Instagram and she wont respond. And she wont let me follow her eather. What do I do to get her to respond? What do I say. And don't tell me to forget about her

Well, her behavior is a clear sign that she may not be into you. It's very hard to forget someone but it's a lot easier to look at the situation and realize that there's very little you could do right now. If you're going to be in different schools perhaps time is the best healer here. Maybe in a year or so try to reconnect with her, give her some time to grow and yourself time as well.

Well So I've had a crush on a guy for a while and he's one of my best friends and last night we were texting and he told me he liked me and my heart started beating so fast and I was really happy, but he so has a crush on another Girl that is like so much prettier and I think he likes more than me??

Hmm if you like him back then what you're going to have to do is be more forward about it. Talk to him more and even try to make plans with him. Don't sit on the sidelines and wait for him to choose you, a passive strategy like that takes the control of the situation out of your hands and leaves it to fate, and if this other girl does exactly what I said then he's going to choose her by default.

Lol homie. What kinda music u like?

I listen to a lot of different things but my favorite artists are Quiet Company, Kina Grannis, Imaginary Future and Bob Marley.

I've found ways to deal with the depression I got and I realized I learned a valuable lesson from her. Maybe the pain will be temporary

Michael Jackson
Pain is always temporary. We all have the ability to be in the present moment, although it may be hard at times to do. Living in the present means not being consumed with thoughts and focusing on what exists right here and now. You are alive. You are breathing. You are present.

how to get a girl on a summercamp?

That's a really good topic, I'm gonna try to do it when I get back from Vidcon in two weeks. Are you in summer camp now?

Yo mah niggah I was sittin in the trap again smokin and I told my niggas before "Yo don't call her anything this time" so I said and she came ova and she started to gimme a BJ! Thank u homie u real hood nigga

haha I'm going to assume you're just busting balls here but if it was real, more power to you!

I broke up with a girl after a long relationship saying that it would be better to just be friends, but in fact I started to like her best friend. Is it ok to start flirting with her now? How can I do that?

Hmm that's a tough situation to be in. She may feel hurt by that and may think you broke up with her so you could get with her friend, no matter how long the distance between the two events occurred. The best thing you could do in that situation is to be open and honest with your friend. Doing it behind her back will just make her feel angry and if you consider her to be your friend then you have to consider her feelings. It doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to the new girl but be prepared to help your ex be ok with however she ends up feeling once you tell her.

Yo homie I was hangin out with a few of my homeboy niggas so we was in the trap just sittin and the gurl I like walk by so I's like hey what up and then one of my niggas called hear a thotty so what do I do my nigga?

Well if you like this girl and your friends are interfering with your opportunity with her and calling her names then tell them to stop because it's disrespectful and she someone you want to pursue. If your friends respect you then they will respect the girl that you're talking to and not call her a thot.

Do social groups in highschool separate who we date? Is the love compatibility going to be different? Ex: A metal head going out with a rap lover.Different kind of friends, opinions and beliefs. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but it would look weird. Plus I don't think her friends are bright....

I think groups and cliques definitely make people see differences that aren't really there and that may influence who we date. For example, popular kids may feel like they should only date popular girls because their friends might be weirded out by someone new entering their friend group. All in all, people are the same. We all wanted to be treated with respect and kindness, and there always lies a great potential to find someone very special outside of your clique if you're willing to be different from the mold.
