Your TALKABOUT For April:

What Drives You Crazy About Guys?

---

Probably when you're hanging out with them and all they want to talk about are these beautiful girls that go to school. Uggghh so annoying. Kristee, 13, Connecticut

---

Sometimes some boys are kind of weird and sometimes I feel like I just want to go up to them and say will you quit it please? But sometimes I don't say please because I don't really want to you know? Anyway, I feel like I 'm in a world that sometimes the boys will never understand. Marlena, 16, Kansas

---

What drives me crazy about boys is that they play too much. All they do is play play play. Some boys are so sweet but the ones I like are playful. Another thing is that boys don't take girl's feelings nice. They laugh about them but they never seem to get the point. Shaniqua, 11, Texas

---

I hate it when a guy acts like he like-likes you one minute, and then teases you or ignores you the next! How are you supposed to know if they like-like you or if they're just like every other guy?! Patricia, 13, New York

---

I really hate it when guys lie about things they have done with their girlfriend to their mates!!! Sodia, 15, Cyprus

---

They won't leave you alone and they make you go crazy. Chloe, 9, Michigan

---

It gets on my nerves so much when a guy says she's so hot. It's not that I like him but it's just so annoying. We don't wanna hear that! Phoebe, 13, Tennessee

---

I hate when they call girls 'dudes' and when they don't tell us how they REALLY feel or think. Taylor, 13, Florida (PenPal #7087)

---

They think making noises with different parts of their bodies is cool. It's pretty nasty. Rachel, 15, Georgia

---

What makes me crazy about guys is that you never know exactly what they're thinking. You can't ever assume just because a guy is flirting with you that he likes you. Some guys just flirt for fun, and some don't even try to show it when they like you. It's all so confusing! They're also very clueless. With a lot of guys you could wear a sign around your neck that says Hey, I like you! and they still won't notice. Some of them are so airheaded! Ellie, 14, Florida

---

They think that they're mr. cool and then they act all sensitive. I love them but they get on my nerves a lot. We need them. Like this guy he's sweet when something happened but then he gets all strange after that. He's a good friend but he's too weird. He asked me out 20 times already and I was close to saying yes, but then he got all messed up and I said no. Boys, you cant live with them, you cant live without them. Camile, 12, New York

---

Well, if we are talking crazy mad at them then HELLO! I had two, and the biggest thing I hated about them was how much they talk... And blabber, blah blah blah... You would think us girls talk a lot. Sheesh. Also, when they talk they forget they are talking to SOMEONE. You could hang up, walk away, or sign off and it's like they'd never notice. Also, they sometimes trail off and talk trash about girls. Brianna, 11, USA (PenPal #11924)

---

Some times they don't always understand what girls do. Like, for example, I usually get really nervous when I am going to throw up. My grandma and mother always comfort me before that happens, but my father calls it my drama fest. And little boys, like my age or maybe a little bit older, can be mean to girls too. I don't like it when they do that. Daisy, 9, Michigan (PenPal #13958)

---

Most guys aren't as sensitive as girls so they could insult you without even knowing it. my guy friends are always saying mean stuff to me and when I confront them about it they say they didn't even know they insulted me. That gets on my nerves! Beverly, 14, New York

---

The bigger than life sports egos. Courtney, 12, USA (PenPal #11945)

---

What drives me totally crazy is that they are so immature. You start to like a guy but then you find out he acts stupid! Sigh. Augusta, 13, South Carolina

---

The thing that drives me crazy about guys is they think they are better than us! They can do something but as soon as we do it they complain or its wrong! I absolutely hate that!! Meghan, 13, Arkansas

---

The thing that drives me crazy about guys is the first reason they talk to you is because of your body. If they would look deeper and not just care about your body they would find someone who is suitable for them. Mia, 13, Washington DC

---

That they don't know what they want and then they go for every girl until one says yes. Adriana, 13, USA

---

What drives me crazy is that you never know what they are thinking. Savannah, 13, USA

---

I think the thing that drives me crazy is either they are so shy you get so nervous around them - you don't even wanna talk to them. The second would have to be the stupid things they do toimpress girls. I had one guy do a back flip off a roof to get me to notice him and I was the only girl in the class. Gavriella, 13, USA (PenPal #13824)

---

Boys. They drive me crazy all the time since they always say they always confess love for me. Really weird, well for me that is. And they always talk about skateboarding which I have no clue about the topic. Josephine, 11, USA

---

That they can't ever only like one girl at a time. Katherine, 13, California

---

The thing that I just can't stand about some guys is how they tell a girl they like her! A lot of them just say girl you're hot! Wanna be my girlfriend? That just makes me think he's not the romantic type. That phrase takes away all the romance. Another thing that I just can't stand is how low some guys wear their pants! Its not like we don't see enough of their boxers when we sit right behind them sometimes and their pants are so low we can see their boxers. I just don't get why some boys do that. Wouldn't it just cause even more trouble for them? Even though some things about boys make me go crazy in a good way and some boys make me go crazy in a bad way I don't think I 'll ever figure out why boys do what they do! Ali, 13, USA

---

What bugs me crazy is that a lot of boys are afraid to ask if you want to go out so the girls have too. Also if you have IM they sound so negative, like this - Girl: Hey Jake! Boy: Hi Girl: What's up? Boy: Nutin you? Girl: Just listening to music Boy: Cool. See? Kylie, 12, USA

---

What guys do to make me crazy is they act like a complete fool in front of me and then start acting like they have a crush on me. Then like a week after they act like a jerk to me. If they do that you should just ignore them because I doubt they will stop if that is what they are doing. Jessica, 12, Utah

---

Nearly everything. Because guys don't know the way a girl's mind functions perhaps. And because they seem to mature at a down rate, instead of maturing. Perhaps because they find someway to say just the wrong thing and just the wrong time. Hannah, 13, Michigan

---

Boys drive me crazy just talking to them, Demi, 10, United Kingdom

---

What drives me crazy about guys is that when they're totally hot and they just wanna be friends, or they only view me as a buddy! Ugh! Why? Am I that relaxed around guys?! Daynie, 12, Missouri

---

You can never guess, let alone know, who they like. Sometimes, they pick one girl to hang out with one day and another girl the next. Sistine, 11, USA

---

I hate it when guys are soooo rude and nasty. It drives me crazy when my friend eats like a pig. He's a great friend and all but God, didn't anyone teach him manners?! Anyway that's one of the things that drives me crazy about guys. Dana, 12, USA

---

Don't you hate it when guys tell you compliments for dares?! Nikki, 11, Minnesota

---

What drives me nuts about guys is how guys flirt with you...and already have gfs!! Kiely, 12, California

---

I think that the main thing that really drives me crazy about guys is how they don't understand how to be able to have real conversations with you, instead of always flirting. I also hate when guys will be one way around you, and when he's with you in front of his friends, he's another way. Ashleigh, 15, California

---

The thing that drives me crazy about guys is that they are so annoying and they don't care about anyone's feelings. Alexandra, 16, Australia

---

What drives me crazy about guys is that they mostly either ignore you because you are a girl or lavish you with attention because they like you. There is no in between and it drives me crazy. Ariana, 14, Florida

---

The fact that they are so MESSY drives me nuts! The old pizza, the rotten sandwiches, the taco with tentacles! They barely ever shower, and think farting's SOOOO funny. AS IF!!! Lauren, 10, Ireland

---

When they like you, they mess with you! I don't get it. Emma, 10, North Carolina (PenPal #12011)

---

What drives me crazy about guys is that they always turn everything you say into stupid stuff, like, for instance, if you say, It's our duty they say, You said Doodie! Ha ha! or if you are talking about a movie star, they ALWAYS have to point out the stupidest part of a movie they did. I HATE that. Jordan, 11, USA (PenPal #12825)
