hey does anyone know a good work out to get me a 6 pack and really strong arms pretty quick? even if it's not quick tell me a good workout. and PLEASE, don't say like just do situps and pushups, tell me a different way to get stronger. i rate high! (link)
Take really hyper, strong dogs on walks for your arms. That's worked for me (unintentionally). As for your 6 pack, laughing works believe it or not! Lots and lots of laughing!


I made and Xanga but I dont know where I go so I can write my entry and post icons in it? Can you explain? Thanks in advance. (link)
There should be something that says Post New Weblog near the top of the page when you sign in. Click on that to write your entries. As for posting icons, I can't help. Sorry.


i'm in 8th grade and everyone i know has had or has a boyfriend, but i have never had one. i am kinda shy and i'm friends w/guys but nothing ever happens withour friendships. but anyways i am moving at the end of the school year and there is this guy i really like how can i get him to ask me out or get a boyfriend before i leave?

p.s. i rate high (link)
Why do you want a boyfriend that you're about to leave anyway? You're still pretty young. You've got plenty of time to find a boyfriend. I know that doesnt help to hear, it never helped me, but it's still true.


I know having bulimia,anorixia or anything like that isnt pleasing to God...but is it considered a sin? (link)
I consider it a sin. Our bodies are God's temples and we are supposed to take care of them. Having an eating disorder is not taking care of your body.


Ok well here's my problem, my mom is like super christian and I think I wanna follow by the rules of buddah and I want to be boodist! but I still belive in god! I dunno what one to choose. And plus if I do decide to become budist I dont wanna tell my mom! I dont know what to Do! arg! help! (link)
You first might want to learn to spell Buddhist right...my ex boyfriend was one and took it pretty personally...and second, Buddha did have a few good ideas but God has better ones. God tells us that we can't serve two masters. You have to either follow Buddha or God.


ok to day i went to a bible study at school, I used to go to church and youth group but the youth minister left the church and i havent been back since....but anyway today when i was there things where really emotional...people were crying and they asked us to bow our heads and asked who wanted to be saved...the asked us to raise our hands and then the leaders came over and prayed over them...But I felt scared to raise my hand....Im regreting it now....I want God in my life but I'm afraid Ive missed my chance.

You don't need to be at any special service for God to be in your life. You can ask him yourself. He can even hear you if you say it in your head. No one can stand between you and God. Don't worry. You will never miss your chance with God. He'll always be waiting for you.


(it's long but it's necessary)

One of my closest friends has really low self-esteem and is often depressed. His mom is no help at all. She's a psycho Christian control freak; the kind of person who desperately needs therapy but goes, "Oh I don't believe in therapy because I have God." My friend's dad was sentenced to jail for rape when he was young, so his mom won't let him near girls (and I'm a girl=FRUSTATION), even though he has a girlfriend. She put him on anti-depressents which screw him up even worse. He was on one and now he's on another instead, neither of them work, they make him suicidal. He hates himself with a passion and nothing I or anyone else say makes a difference. He thinks he's worthless and that he's going to become a bum. He thinks very short term, he says he doesn't care about anything (which is so not not true), and he pouts all the time. I want to help him but I don't know how - HELP!
(P.S. I'm 14 and he's gonna turn 16 soon) (link)
That mom is crazy. I'm a Christian and I go to therapy. God provides stuff like that for us. She's a moron for not knowing that. Your friend needs to get away from her and get into therapy where he can be helped.


what can happen if you consume more then 4 advil at a time? i jusy had 5 advil at a time, can i puke or what, i need an answer asap (link)
When I was younger, I used to take way too many advil at a time. It normally won't hurt you. It just gets you feeling kind of numb and out of it for an hour or so.


I don’t think people have anything to live for at all. Most people live for other people even thought everyone will eventually die. I think life is pointless and there is no such thing as “making a difference” because in the end none of it matters. My teacher says everyone wants to be remembered after they die, I don’t want to be remembered. Some people live for God, which I think is stupid because I don’t believe in God. If I did, I would hate him, why? Because he has control over us. Killing yourself is wrong because you’re interfering with “God’s little plan”, right? That doesn’t sound right now, does it? Everything happens for a reason doesn’t it? If something happened to make you want to kill yourself then is killing yourself still wrong? If God doesn’t want it to happen then it shouldn’t happen because he makes everything happen, doesn’t he? Can someone help me understand this whole “God” concept? (link)
Actually God doesn't have control over us. He gave us free will to make our own choices. And anything that would make you want to kill youself is a trick from Satan so yes, killing youself is still wrong. God might not want us to kill ourselves but it's our choice. He isn't going to stop us if we choose to kill ourselves. I hope I haven't made myself sound like your typical Biblethumper because trust me I'm not. If you ever want to talk about this sort of stuff, my sn is el7842433clubzxc by the way.


i think i need help because like i have cut myself before and i had stopped for a while too.. and then something happend today that just like makes me want to do it again becuase me and this kid got into a huge fight.. how can i not do it anymore what are some other good ways to take anger out... (link)
I have that same problem but I've been trying to stop. I'm sure it's different for everyone but when I really want to cut, I just beat on my pillow or my bed or something like that.


Ok. Well I met this guy online about 7 months ago-We've been talking ever since the night we met. The thing is he lives in Tennesee and I live in Alabama. We met in a chatroom. I kinda like him and vice versa with him. I would go out with him but I would feel very stupid becuase I don't need an internet relationship. We could see eachother sometime because he travels with his family to auburn to watch their football games and I go with my father. I'm so confused and I have no earthly idea what to do.

Signed,
Internet Lover (link)
If you want to try to have a relationship with this guy, then go ahead and try it, but meet him first. Definately don't meet him alone though. That's never smart no matter how much you trust him. You might end up regretting the relationship but you'll probably regret never giving it a chance so much more. I know lots of people who have had long distance relationships that have worked out and the same goes with people who have met online. Some are even married now.


Ok, I'm 15/f and I was with this guy for 2 months. Well he starting trying to pressure me to have sex with him. And I know this probably sounds stupid but I really wasn't ready to go that far. I know that a lot of other girls have had sex but I just wasn't ready for it yet. So anyway one night we were hanging out and he started to ask me to have sex with him again. I said no and I tried to explain why and make him understand. Well he seemed to understand and I thought that everything was ok. He brought me a drink of water and then I started to feel weird. The next thing I know I'm waking up next to him and now I'm pregnant. My friend said that he probably gave me a drug or something so I would have sex with him. I really don't know and I don't know what to do now. Did he rape me? And what should I do about the pregnancy? (link)
I'm sorry you were raped but don't get an abortion because of it. Give it up for adoption. There's never an excuse to murder a baby, born or unborn. People give shitty advice.


I've figured out that i am bi...but i am a christian..and i realize how wrong it is...and i hate myself for it...im trying to change myself.....but its hard for me to completely stop liking guys....but its so wrong...in the bible it says that doing stuff with another guy is an abomination..and they should be destroyed..that scares me..so i am trying to fight it off..i have a gf...and she's helping me thru it too...but my ? is...is it really wrong to be bi?.. (link)
of course it is really wrong to be bi. you even said that the bible says its wrong. I'm a Christian to and it's hard as heck for me not to have a problem with my gay guy friends. I know what they are doing is wrong but I love them anyway and God loves you anyway. I know it is hard but you can get through this. Good luck.


I'm 22/m and my sister just turned 16. We're very close with one another and usually can share anything. Recently, however, she has become more sexually explorative, which is fine, but now seems to be obsessed by it. She told me yesterday that she wants to hook up with this 19 year old freshman in college that I know. They're not dating, but are considering getting to know each other. My sister used to be so righteous and moral and I feel that she's going to just end up hurt with this new sexual discovery. She's thinking about getting ahotel room with this guy this weekend. What should I do? I don't want her to get hurt and frankly, I don't want her to turn into a slut. Thanks =Concerned Brother= (link)
Be a good brother like mine. forbid her from doing what is bad for her!


Aright well im 14/f and me and my b/f have been together for almost a year...and he hasn't tried anything, I mean im not waiting for him to do something with me...but is it weird that he hasn't tried anything after almost a year or does it just mean that he really loves me? Like he's always all over me and touching me, but whenever im around me friends they just keep on askin me "have you guys done it yet?" and ill just be like "no" cause we havn't. And sometimes they just end up saying that he's stupid to not try doing it with me (i don't think that) and that they expect us to do it now that we've been together for almost a year! So I need to know does he really love me or is it just weird?

Thanx (link)
Sex and love can be two very different subjects. Don't base one on the other


I just recently moved out of my house and into my uncles house and he is a hardcore Christian man and believes that anything not christian is "of the devil", I myself am a follower of the old pagan type religions and he kind of found out and alwayz makes little jabs at me for not believing in god and tells me im going to hell and i dont know how to deal with it..if i tell him that i dont believe in god, he might kick me out of his house....what should i do...pretend not to believe what i do or tell him to stop? (link)
Tell him if he's a real Christian he'll stop acting like that


my parents get mad at me whenever i say something about religion that doesnt agree with their views. they tell me im to young to have an opinion about that kind of stuff. and i do. and im not that good at communicating. so should i just tell them that i believe in god? even though i have doubts?

thanks. (link)
"He who is in you is strong than he who is in the world." Your parents may be against you but God has still got your back. Don't be afraid to tell your parents the truth about what you believe. There is never a wrong time to do what is right. "even when your mother and father forsake you, i will take care of you" sorry i dont have to referrences on these two verses.


I guess the subject line says it all. I constantly flip-flop between Christianity, Atheism and Buddhism. I like a little of all, and I can't seem to choose one faith. I always change my mind. Is there something wrong with me? Am I flaky? It's just that a faith is an important choice, and I'm afraid to make the wrong one.
I like all three, but I know I have to pick one.
What should I do? (link)
I know how you feel. I am a Christian but I question my faith quite often. I guess you could say, if it weren't for my common sense, I'd be an athiest. I don't mean that offensively. It's just my reasoning. Think about the three and see what seems the most practical to you. Take Atheism for example: If there is no creator of any sort, how did the world get here? Evolution? When discussing evolution, ask "where did that come from?" enough and eventually you'll find that you are stuck. The most important advice I can give you is, The truth can not always be proven but it can never be disproven. So do your best to disprove all three of these religions and then make your choice.


In the aftermath of the tsunami, the eternal theological question is again posed: what sort of God permits the slaughter of blameless humanity on such a scale?

On the abundant available evidence does it not seem that, if there is or was a God, it is now malevolent, mad or dead?

No, religious nutters please - this is a serious question I'm posing.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe God doesn't make things happen nor does he stop things from happening? I'm clinically depressed and whenever things get really bad I always remember when my old youth pastor told me that God cried with me. God cried for the tsunami victims. He didn't kill them.


I give up. I dont deserve gods love. I am not worthy enough for it. He gives me a gift and i dont use it. I fail one class, i am a porn addict. I give up i dont deserve god anymore. I dont even deserve to live, i, i really dont care. i am not good enough. I am not as loyal to him as i should be. i dont deserve him at all. im done. Please give advice or a way to end it all (link)
NO ONE deserves God at all. Trust me. I know exactly how you feel! My parents are constantly telling me what a horrible person I am and I'm on so many medications that I shouldn't even be able to still think. No matter how you feel or what you deserve, God is going to love you anyway. It's unavoidable. I hope you don't mind but this will be a little long. Let me tell you a short story. I used to date this guy who is now a HUGE druggie, alcoholic, drug dealer and male prostitute. The last time I talked to him, he had a gun up his nose and he kept telling me that he doesn't deserve to be loved by me. He didn't understand that no matter how awful his lifestyle was, I was never going to stop loving him. There's plenty more I'd like to say but I'll spare you the reading time. My screen name is on my page if you'd like to talk. I'm always up for it.
