					  <title>Not So Smart</title>
					  <link>http://www.whatiscore.com/articles/34/1/Not-So-Smart/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>Dear Ally, I am in my senior year of high school and getting ready to apply for college. Everyone around me is all freaked out about SATs, GPA&#8217;s, and applications right now, it&#8217;s a really stressful environment. My group at school consists of lots of beautiful, athletic and intelligent girls, so it&#8217;s hard to not compare myself to them. I am not as smart as the rest of my Ivy League friends, and feel a little nervous about the arrival of college acceptance (or denial) letters. I have never done that well in school and am dreading four more years at a University. Everyone is so excited about college and I don&#8217;t want to be the loser friend who just starts working immediately after high school. How can I stop feeling so inadequate around my near-perfect friends, and what should I do about this whole college issue?

Sincerely, 
Wendy

					  <title>Is there an extreme makeover show for geeks?</title>
					  <link>http://www.whatiscore.com/articles/25/1/Is-there-an-extreme-makeover-show-for-geeks/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>Dear Ally-
I&#8217;m hopelessly a geek. The only time girls think of me is when they need help with their homework. Is there an extreme makeover show for geek guys? What can I do to help them see beyond my straight A&#8217;s and computer skills?

					  <description>Dear Ally, I went out with this girl for thirteen months. We&#8217;re both sixteen and we went to Christmas Formal, the Prom and the entire summer we were together. Ten days ago she dumped me. Says, &#8220;She just wants to be friends.&#8221;I&#8217;m devastated, embarrassed and can&#8217;t get over her. She&#8217;s awesome!Antonio  </description>

					  <title>What if I&#39;m not attracted to her?</title>
					  <link>http://www.whatiscore.com/articles/22/1/What-if-Im-not-attracted-to-her/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>Hey Ally, I have this friend, Becca and everyone is hasslin&#8217; us, &#8220;Are you guys going out or what? Wazzup with you and her?&#8221; and it&#8217;s getting old. We have classes together and go to the same youth group at church, so I see her six out of seven. So here&#8217;s the deal - I like her, she&#8217;s easy to be with, laughs at my jokes, and fits in with my friends, and if you can believe this, fits in with my weird family. But here&#8217;s the catch &#8211; I&#8217;m not physically attracted to her. I&#8217;m not gay or anything, I just don&#8217;t drool all over her like other girls I see around. What should I do? We are both Juniors in high school.Connor  </description>

					  <title>Should I swear off guys?</title>
					  <link>http://www.whatiscore.com/articles/20/1/Should-I-swear-off-guys/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>I can really pick &#8216;em! Seems like every guy (no exaggeration) I pick turns out to be a LOSER. Is there something wrong with me? I talk to my friends, but they don&#8217;t know, but they don&#8217;t seem to choose as lousy as I do. Should I join the convent and swear off guys?

					  <title>Do guys ever talk about girls?</title>
					  <link>http://www.whatiscore.com/articles/19/1/Do-guys-ever-talk-about-girls/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>Dear Jeremy,
My friends and I obsess about guys. We sit around and talk about them, &#8220;Did you see how hunky Luke looked today? I think he winked at me in Bio.&#8221; We analyze what they say to us. &#8220;Ricardo said, &#8216;I&#8217;ll see you later,&#8217; after sixth period today. Do you think he wants to ask me to prom?&#8221; We dress for them. &#8220;I have to have those jeans, they make my butt look good. I want Dwayne to notice me when I walk across the quad.&#8221;
So here&#8217;s my question. What do guys talk about? Are we wasting our time with all the talk, flirting and drama? Do guys ever talk about girls?
