hey i'm courtney! :)i'm nineteen and i live in ohio. i am currently not going to college, and just working fulltime.. i'm single and not really looking but,i love to go tanning, shopping, and seeing friends. i am very social, and love to listen to problems and help the best way i know how. i am a very happy person, and willing to be there for people who need me most, and i care for most in life. that's a bit about me heh.
advice
Alright so there is this guy. He is from a different town that's about 45 mins. away from my home town. We have met once, but not formally. We are friends on Facebook. I know a girl from his town and she tells me he is really nice. I'm not really good friends with her, but we talk when we see each other and occasionally message on Facebook. The guy is really cute and I've read his Facebook. He loves a lot of things I do. He is a big Christian (which is important to me.) He seems like a really great guy. Problem is I want to get to know him more, but I have no idea how to start a convo with him. I think it might be awkward to start one on Facebook. But I'm not the type of girl to just go straight up to someone and start a convo either. Any suggestions?
maybe tell the third party friend to tell this guy to send you a message or to write on your wall. also, you could try poking him on facebook, its a sign of flirting.
there's this boy i like but i don't know if he like me and my friend keeps telling him that i'm stalking him but i'm really not i just know his class schedule and his locker and his bus number.How do i get him to like me and stop her from calling me a stalker?(f/13)
if you want this guy to like you back off. give him some space, and let him come to you. if something is meant to happen it will. be patient.
My boyfriend of 2 years and I recently broke up, and it was a nasty, painful breakup. We're not speaking but have mutual friends, and I'm in the process of trying to get over him. The big problem is, we go to same college and it's very small. I see him all the time, and walking past eachother and not speaking is excruciating. I don't want to talk to him because I'm so hurt/angry and talking to him will just break my heart even more. How do I survive this situation?
seriously break ups aren't ever easy. what you should do is eventhough you'll still be seeing him in the halls and such, just try and avoid any association with him, i realize this would be dificult b/c you have mutual friends, but try your best with it. also don't try talking to him if you know it will only make things worse, then only thing that's going to make things better is time. so hold your head high, and try to be okay. venting w/friends always helps.
im afraid im not going to pass my temps test. I live in Ohio, Ive taken some of the online tests, and ive read the book a few times, but i still feel like im going to fail! And if i fail, theres a good chance that my mom wont take me to get them again for awhile, so i want to make it the first time!
Please HELP!
i just think you need to relax. your over thinking the whole situation. you already prepared yourself enough for it, so have some faith in yourself.
So in the movie oceans thirteen the part where he is trying to take the diamonds and he drugs the girl with that patch. Well the hell is it, it has been bothering me. Ive asked everyone and no one knows. Help me out.
it's a patch designed to make woman horny, and feel all sexual and a bit loopy. it is basically a drug that makes her want to have sex, and easy to handle.
okay so I have this best friend who is really clingy and obsessive. If I don't get to call or talk to her in like 3 days she freaks out. She calls basically 4 times a day and exspects me to always be waiting by the phone to answer it. Recently I haven't been able to talk to her and she claims I have changed, that I've been miserable and sad, and that I've been hiding from the world. I seriously have no idea what the heck that means.. and I even told this to her; yet she still doesn't make any sense. Another thing she does is freak out when she finds out I'm hanging out with other friends that she doesn't nessisarly like. It's like she wants to spend every second of the day with me and sometimes it just gets on my nerves. I mean I love the girl to death but I always feel like I'm being suffocated. Help! what should I do?
thanks,
Michellemonster
tell her you want some space, it's not an uncommon thing to happen with best friends. also, admit to her that you have more than one friend, best friend even. and tell her you are happy, and she just needs to quit suffocating you, she should understand.
16/f. somewhat fair skinned, not too white but not too tan. im going to a workout place/tanning place to the tanning beds for my first time. i signed up for 30 days so i can go as much as i want, but like only once a day. my mom told me start off with like 5 minutes for the first few days, wear goggles..but anyone else have any tips..so i dont burn, so i get an even tan, so i dont have streaks..stuff like that? =] also, would you suggest wearing a swimming suit the first time? the people there said they will help me the first time, but it isnt like most salons, you can just walk in and sign in and go straight in by yourself. any tips are greatly appreciated!
and please, if you dont agree with tanning beds, dont answer. and dont tell me im gonna get cancer. im smart and am only doing it for a month =]
if you don't want tanlines/streaks at all, then don't wear anything. i go tanning in a bed and i've been in a stand up one. i don't wear anything but that's because i don't want any tan lines. and your mother is right, starting off with a lower amount of time for a few days is good, then casually rise the minutes you're in the bed for. i also wear the goggles, since you aren't too pale wearing them won't make lines or anything so don't worry about that. also, if you realize you a burning a bit the third or second day, give it atleast one day break from going in. you got a whole month, and have fun!
boyfriend is 24 i am 19 we have been together since july. he moved further away in sept and we have managed to stay together. but jealousy and fighting occur greatly. i do admit i am really jealous and tend to get very worked up ( i get anxiety/bipolar) so once one thing happens i get very upset. but he does not help it he is just unbelivably mean and calls me stuff when we fight. everyone says just to tell him how i feel and when i do he like yells at me. its breaking my heart. he always says lets break up, please! and idk i like cant let him i cry everyday. we are going to aruba in 2 days and the last week whenever we fight hes said like we`ll be done after the trip but when we arent fighting he says hes not gunna but will if i keep this up. idk what to do i cant even talk to him about anything without him flipping out. i feel like i do everything for him and get nothing in return. hes always judging me too, making me feel stupid or fat. and it sucks i just cant leave him or let him leave. help me please
you need to just decide what you want to do. either stay with him unhappy and feeling emotionally a wreck, or leave him, deal with the pain and get better and be happy. good luck doll, and god bless.
So my parents surprised me with a trip to Mexico in 15 days and my body is not up to par. I want to know if this will give results both on the scale and body, and like noticeable difference....
Dieting: I am not eating any bread, sugar, soda drinks. Pretty much just vegetables, fruits, tuna, salmon, boiled chicken, grilled meat, salads, eggs, cottage cheese, some other things.
My exercise routine would be every other day and it would be 30 minutes interval running and walking on the treadmill. And do muscle workouts like various types of crunches, some pilate movies, etc.
Will this give noticeable results? How powerful is running for shaping up a body? What are some workouts/diet combo's that worked for you?
girl you got the picture. stick to this diet and you should lose anywhere from 5-8 pounds for real! (:
and my diet is similar to this, good luck doll. and have fun in mexico!
OKay so i have cingular family plan and i get 200 texts a month

yes, login to your family account online. and it will give you options on what to view, and you'll be able to see.

I'm an addict. No, I'm not a druggie, an alcoholic, none of that. I'm a computer addict.
I spend AT LEAST 5 hours daily on the computer on school days. On days that I'm free I will spend all of my waking hours on the computer (for example today, I was online nonstop from 8:30am to 11:30pm, right now).
This is getting out of control. My family is breaking apart because of it, my school work is suffering as well. I no longer have a social life, I stopped doing the sport that I used to love so passionately.
I think the reason I'm (psychologically) addicted is because its a way to escape for me. I'm pretty depressed and lonely, and the computer helps me cheer up and forget my problems.
I had suspected that I had a problem for a while now (two years). What finally triggered me to ask help is that my mom tearfully and angrily lectured me that I live in filth (which is true, my room is disgusting, but I don't clean it because I'm on the computer), that "when we're all together we're not a family anymore because of you, because of the way you treat your brother and father and even me, your mother." What hurt me the most was when she said that she has a stupid, lazy, selfish, 17-year old daughter who would rather be with a computer than with her family.
But it makes me upset and angry because they're really the reason for this, I'm never good enough, I'm lazy and stupid no matter what or how much I do. My brother is the perfect angel and can do no wrong. My dad has these horrible habits (thundering on the phone, stomping when he walks: the whole house literally shakes, chews extremely loudly) that really irritate me, and I've tried talking to him about it, but he practically says that I shut my mouth and suck it up, because he's not doing anything about it. I can't even eat with him because I'm in tears halfway through dinner because the noise of his chewing (and its only him) really extremely irritates me. I've been eating my meals alone for the past 2 years or so. My mom, dad and brother eat together. And when he is shouting at the top of his lungs on the phone when I'm trying to do homework... I just can't stand it and I think its extremely inconsiderate of him, and rude.
What do I do? Where do I start? How can I fix things up with my dad? I can't get any professional help because my parents believe that I am the only reason of the problems that I have. I don't really know who to believe anymore. All I know that I'm sad, depressed and unhappy, and I hate it. Please help.
17/F
my advice, being the the computer isn't unhealthy if it helps you unwind some and feel better. but don't let it take control of your social engagements, make sure you get some exercise, and if you need to get away, just go for a walk alone around outside near your house. and parents push you harder because they know you're smart and can do better. in a twisted way, it's them saying they love you. and your dad just seems obnoxious, just try and hold you tongue and deal with him. you are 17 and can move out soon eventually, but try to make more of an effort and not argue with him, and get along even if he won't. be the bigger person.
20/f
I feel a little old to be asking this sort of question. It's less of a "what do I do?" and more of a "what do you think?" Although, if you have an answer to "what do I do?" please feel free to respond with it.
All my life I've had friends, and friend "groups." My groups are pretty separate - I could never really have every one of my friends hanging out in the same space and not have a few fights break out or general tension in the air. I'm realizing recently that I don't really...fit in...with ANY of my friend "groups." I have a lot of guy friends. They all like girls, working out, and sports...and music, pretty much. I mean, I'm a gym rat and a musician in many ways, but I don't have a membership to their gym, and almost none of them have heard me sing, even though I did some national competitions and am very proud of my voice. Even fewer of my friends have heard me play flute, or have seen my artwork.
I have barely any girl friends, and the few I do have I almost never see.
Typing this out, I almost feel like this is my fault. I'm...not an easy person to get close to. I've trusted one person completely in my life so far, and he let me down in a few different ways. I don't really trust any of my friends, and I can't open up. I've destroyed more than one relationship because of this, and I feel like I'm killing pretty much all my friendships, too. Even people I've known all my life, I can't completely open up to, or be completely comfortable with.
This is just all so messed up.
Feedback, anyone?
now that you realize you haven't been opening up, you can change it in baby steps. try asking more to your friends what they're doing, get more involved. or come up with something to do, and invite them to come. take things slow, and stop fretting about not fitting in, we all feel like that sometimes, truthfully you do fit in, or you wouldn't have any friends.
I usually weigh around 125 pounds (which is normal for me), but during the last month or so, I've been stressed out over exams and unintentionally lost some weight due to stress and poor eating habits. I weighed myself yesterday, and I was 116! I noticed my jeans are quite a bit looser now, but did not expect my weight to have gone down by as much as it has. So now, I'm trying to gain back the weight, so that I am between 120-125.. I am 23, F, and am about 5'5"-5'6"...needless to say ,I do miss the curves! I have a tendency to loose weight when I'm super stressed..i loose my appetite, skip breakfast, or even dinner...definitely not healthy.
But anyway, for those who know, what is a healthy way to gain back the weight? I don't want to have a fast food overdose, but still want to gain back around 6-8 pounds. I want to eat healthy, and get back in the habit of walking and doing yoga (long overdue!). Any tips are appreciated :)
start eating on a normal schedule. if you can't make it for a meal make sure you have some sort of a power bar or snack around. and yes doing yoga does help, and maybe relax more. take more time for yourself.
Ok, so to start off with, I love photography. I know that is what I want to do as a career, now the kind of photography I am interested in getting into would be like, um, taking photos of models and famous people (I do NOT want to be a poparatzi SP??) but more so when famous people (actors and actresses) do photo shoots, I want to know how to get in a position where I can get a career in that industry. I live in Wisconsin so I am not near to any place known for that type of stuff, like I said I am just wondering if any of you know any way I can get into that industry of photo shoots for actors and actresses. All replies appreciated and thanked.
going to school for it obviously is the first step. but living in wisconsin you realize you'll have to move somewhere big like cali or new york. you need to get your work saw. experience is a big help. try getting a smalltime job first and learn more.
um my big toe is smaller than my second toe, and my second toe looks abnormally bigger all of a sudden, do you toes grow?
not really, and this isn't abnormal. plenty of toes are like yours, you can relax.
i don't know what to do anymore.i dont really want to go into details but i can't stand it where i live anymore.
i can't stand living at the moment.i didnt realize until resently,but i dont really enjoy the things i usually do.I see a counceler,only because they thought i might need one after a natural disaster.Honestly that didn't effect me at all,but im soo tired of it all,the phycologist,my parents constantly reminding me of my mistakes,and on top of it i resently lost my best friend
it just feels like my life doesn't have meaning anymore.
please dont take this the wrong way,im not going to kill myself or anything,but i just dont know what to do,im not old enough to live on my own,my parents wont move,i dont know,but if i stsay here much longer i know i will grow insane
do things that make you happier, get some alone time. just to be able to breathe and reflect. write things in a journal. maybe try putting all your emotions on paper, in a poem/song/sonnet.

run for about 20-30 minutes four days a week. drink plenty of fluids like water, flavored water, or juices. also eat healthy, have some self-dicipline. if you feel an urge to eat some sweets or chips, grab an apple or eat some carrots instead.
