Q: What would you do iuf you hurt someone's feelings (someone in your family) and you apologize but they don't want to forgive you?

Show them you really meant it when you apologised.Keep apologising,being niiiiice,or maby give up something that was really important to me to show them I really meant it.Try to understand why it hurt them so much.Or maybe we woulld both go to a family psychologist together.These things always wind up okay in the end.

Q: THIS PART IS TO THE MODERATORS. I KNOW I DELETED AND REPOSTED THIS QUESTION MORE THAN ONCE BUT I REREAD IT AND I SAW THAT THE PREVIOUS ONES DID NOT MAKE SENSE AND I WOULD NOT GET ANSWERS I NEEDED. SO I DELETED AND REPOSTED SO NOW IT MAKES SENSE. THANKS

I am reposting because the way I worded this does not make sense and I want people to give me answers for all questions below. Thanks: Here is the story again: On August 25, 2006 Rebecca was with her mom and her mom said; Rebecca you are very thin, I am concerned, I dont want you to lose weight;. Rebecca then asked her mom; Why do you think I should gain weight?; And her mother said; No I dont think you should gain I just think you should not lose;. However, on August 26, 2006 Rebecca told her friends the story and asked her friends is my mom saying I am to thin; and her friends said; No she is not. All she is saying is that you are very thin and she does not want you to lose any weight and she EVEN TOLD YOU SHE DOES NOT THINK YOU HAVE TO GAIN WEIGHT. MY QUESTION(s): (1) Do you agree/concur with Rebecca friends; (2) Also because this happened on August 2006 and it is now December 2006 should Rebecca still think about it; and (3) And now that it is December 2006 (after all this time) should Rebecca still go by the fact that her mother does not think she has to gain weight? AND WHY DO YOU FEEL THIS WAY WITH YOUR ANSWERS."

Rebecca's mom just wanted her not to think about her weight and worry about it.She just wanted Rebecca to stop being paranoid about her weight.
(1)Rebecca's friends were right.Her mother doees not want her to purpously loose/gain weiiight.
(2)It is good for Rebecca to think about and understand things but she is over analising what her mother said.She shoullld stop thinking about it.
(3)Rebecca shoulld stop worrying so much about her weight.Rebecca is not abnormally underweight/overweight.She should just live a healthy lifestyle and stop worrying about her weight.

Please tell me in feedback why getting a good answer to this question is so important to you.

Thanks.

Q: does anyone know where i can get or a website that i can put in my weight and stuff to get a diet plan for FREE?
im almost 14 113 pounds and around 5"2. i dont think im necessarily fat but i dont like the way i look. can somebody give me a diet plan? or tel me soemhwer ei can get one?
thankss

Just google some online BMI calculators or weight charts.
You could get some strap on weights and wear them regularly for a certain period of time.make exercise fun.play sports or jog in a swimming pool.Eat what you think we were meant to eat(natural stuff,fruits vegatables etc).Eat less butter and fat,oil and fried food.Try yoga.People and animal crave what their body needs.Children who have a calciam defiancy crave chalk(eveb when they do not know it is made of calcium).Take frequent walks some place nice or go trekking on a mountain.Eat what your body needs.If you live in a building always use the stairs.Excercise is as important as diet.

Q: If I go to the theatre and scream "Boring!", can I get arrested in a democratic repulic like India?

Q: Theres this guy I recently started to have a crush on in my middle school, and I dont think he really likes me yet, though my friend thinks otherwise. When I first saw him in my class around the first day of school, I noticed that sometimes he kept glancing at me when he probably thought I didnt know. Then later we were paired for something and he laughed at some of the jokes I made, and in gym, we're both like pretty sporty, competitive people. we played this game where we had to capture a person's flag as they went to the opposite side to steal a ring. then sometimes i got his flag (we were against each other) and he was smiling at me when i gave him back his flag. then in homeroom one of my friends commented on how i never hold my hair up.. this was like yesterday.. and he was talking to someone else then like turned around to look at me. i didnt see his expression though. then in literacy we played some game and he was sitting right next to me! I have no idea why.. maybe he wanted to sit next to someone else.. but that was kinda awkward so I didnt really say much.. so anyway, do you think he likes me? or is my friend just making things up.. I dont mind if he doesnt now, though. theres always the future! haha

oh, and he's like a jock (hes funny, nice.. and maybe not the brightest crayon in the box.. haha) and I'm like a jock too.. meaning I'm like a tomboy but a girly girl at the same time.. also I'm pretty smart.

Ther is one way to know for sure.www.crushcalculator.com

Q: can anyone think of something to do on a rainyday.

Play board games,watch T.V,read jokes,surf the net,buy a flower making kit or other craft stuff.Celebrate foreign festivals.
Have fun

Q: there are these girls in my school and they bully me to often.It is interfering with my grades.help!

If they slap you on one cheek,show them the other cheek.Let them bully you.If you quietly put up with it and be nice to them they will have no reason to bully you any more.Thry bully you for fun.If you yawn and be quiet it will bug the hell out of them.Pretty soon you will hear a sigh and see them leave.Look for sites on satyagraha.My friend Mahatma Gandhi invented it.It works.

Q: I'm really bored. I wonder why other people aren't as bored as me. Please tell me everything you did for one day to week.
Thank you.

I paint my nails,eat grapes,fight with julius ceaser, surf the net,play chinese checkers and play with tiny replicas of pyramids with the people who's tombs were in them.

Q: There is this girl at school.Today she showed me a piece of paper with "Do you think Linda is too loud?Do you want her to control her voice?"I wrote no.Most people wrote yes.I think that this happened because they just want to rebel against something.I doubt any one actually has a probblem with the loud girl.If you have any ideas about what I can get this girl to rebel against.She will also forget about the loud girl. So, it works out for everyone.

-Shorter school hours
-Unlimited time to write exam papers
-lower tax rate
-animal rights

Q: 15/f. I have a major confidence problem and I'm SICK of it. Believe me, I wouldn't be asking this question if this wasn't getting in the way of things in my life. I feel like I need to be more brave; I'm getting nervous about sooo many things and I worry about EVERYTHING. I also have alot of fears, like I'm afraid of needles, public speaking, the dark, etc. I'm always so self-concious and feel like everyone is looking at me, when, in reality, they probably aren't staring at me half as much as I think they are... I mean I have all of these dreams to have a good job and do something to help people, like maybe a teacher or physcologist, but how can I something like that when I can barely present a project in class without getting extremely nervous?I have no reason to be so self-conscious and I wish I could just take life how it is without worrying so much. I wish I could just stop putting myself down and doubting myself and just feel like I can do anything, because I know if I think positive, good things will probably happen more often. So, does anyone have any tips on being braver and more self-confident? Any websites on how to teach myself to be braver? Lol. Thanks

You have reveal the cause of your lack of confidence and your fears.This is a faster way to get rid of them.This is a slower but more rewarding way.You have to slowly confront your fears.Make the room dimmer and dimmer with lampshades.Then maybe you can turn of the light completely.About needles...You can just hold it at first.Tell yourself how much you love needles.About public speaking.Try looking for sites on neuro linguistic technique.Remember people usually laugh because something is unexpected.You can control whether people laugh at you or with you.You just laugh when they laugh.According to a newspaper some animals used to get together and make laughing noises for no reason.Search for "ego booster" in google.They send you emails that help to boost your ego and stuff.

Q: so u might have remembered me bcuz i asked about the girl who i called "summer".

now she knows we all hate her and shes acting all innocent! and shes totally not and it really bugs me. shes mean and talks about everyone behind there back. and now shes all goody-goody bcuz we all hate her. i mean WHAT THE ****!! and today she goes "why does everyone hate me?" and i just shook my head and walked off. i mean is she really that stupid? please help!

i also rate *high*!

avoid her as much as possible!even when she is there you just ignore her.you want her to stop pretending to be your friend.if you can't help bumping into her.when you do teese her and say don't get angry we're just having fun you can't take a joke.try http://www.insults.net/index.html

Q: this may sound scary but lately i have these thoughts like a voice in my head saying im a satanist. i don't want to be and i try to force the thought out and think that god is my only one though it always comes back. i got this book and it had a list of all the warning signs of a satanist and i had all of them except for one. i think i am becoming a satanist. i also do witchcraft but i never did anything involving the devil. now all i can think about is becoming a satnist i need serious help. i am originally catholic. and i am a girl.

talk to the preist at the church.every time you get these thoughts in your head just go to the church or do good deeds.do you practice wicca.i used to practice wicca to.i gave up wicca because it was scary.give up wicca,it may be medeling with your head.wicca can be realy scary.
i think that worrying about being a sataniist is a sign of being an angel.you worry about being a satanist because you do not want to hurt your loved ones.the book you read was probably written by a crazy kid or someone like that.you cannot belive everything you read.do not feel scared to talk to the preist.if you are to frightened to talk to him talk to a nun.only they will know what you should do.do not be frightened of him.he is a good man and will not turn his nose up at you.i personaly don't belive its possible to be a satanist because god created you he made you the way you are.he made you the way he wanted.why would he make you a satanist?remeber god is good,he made you good and he loves you because you are his creation.never fear god because god is good and he doesn't make satanists.

Q: i am so upset righyt now. i told my friend some really personal things about my life. she promised she wouldnt tell anyone. it was mostly about this guy that i liked a lot. a real lot. we were firghtin the ohter day and she told him all my personal things and now she wants me to forgive her. i dont think i should because she doesnt deserve it. it was really personal and it wasnt his business. what should i do?

she is not a real friend.i don't know why she is pretending to be your friend but its for her own good.do not forgive her what kind of backstabbing bitch would ask for your forgiveness after that.if she was a real friend she wouldn't have blabbed even when you fought.real friends are always your friends.it might be dangerous to tell her you can't forgive her.avoid her if you can.pretend to be her friend if you can't avoid her.but even if you do forgive her she can't be trusted

Q: can a muslim female marry a christain male,

yes

Q: I cheered competativly for 5 years, I don't like cheerleading anymore so I refused to tryout for my middle school squad. My mom and I battled for 2 weeks about this, but I won and its to late now to turn in the forms. Now no one will talk to me in my family, and if they do its some sarcastic or mean remark to make me feel stupid. Sorry for the length but i need help, i dread goin home after school everyday now!! Plz help, I'll rate high :)

if you do not want to be a cheerleeder they can't force you to be a chreer leeder talk to them get out of the house a lot so that the miss you.if they ask you why you never are at home tell them indirectly or directly.if you dread going home after school do not go home till 20-30 minutes after school.make them miss you.make them feel sorry that they were forcing you to join the squad.
