I'm a 19 year old student at the University of Arizona who just finished my freshman year for my computer engineering degree. Sounds pretty nerdy, right? The catch is that I'm gay. Now I'm trying to balance a difficult degree with the kind of fitness and looks that I want. As I learn about fitness though maybe I can help others. I've got pretty good grades at least, so I can give advice on that.

Okay I tried video chatting with someone about five minutes ago
And this parental controls thing came up, blocking the video request
Thats never happened before
And my parents cant get on my computer cause it needs a password to sign on
Which they dont know
So how can I fix this? (link)
|
It's possible that your parents are exercising parental control through your internet service provider. The controls aren't on your computer, but more like they're on the entire network.
Check through the settings of your AIM client to make sure you haven't accidentally turned on parental controls. Sometimes they're just on by default.

i'm a girl aged 15:
So i had a weird dream the other day and i was own up around my 20's & looking to buy a house.
I found a perfect house and was about to sign the papers, the house was rather dark looking inside. But i still agreed to sign & just seconds before i was about to sign the agreement a voice just comes out at me. It was a demon like voice saying things like "get out of my house" "you don't belong here". It was a whole mess of angry things and i started screaming back saying i owned the place and i wasn't leaving. Then i got surrounded by a dark cloud inside the house, i got scared & i woke up. What could this mean? (link)

A nightmare has little bearing on reality. I wouldn't worry about it.

my cat is about a year old. shes very tiny, and has always been on the thinner side. there was even a time when someone made a comment about how "fat" she was getting.
well, a while back, she started throwing up. a LOT. like almost 3 or 4 times a week. she'd eat waaaay too much and end up not even chewing up half of it, and then she'd turn around and throw up anywhere.
since that has been happening, she hasn't been getting much nutrients. and shes also eating less and less and losing waaaaay too much weight. she's getting so thin and bony. she still goes outside and runs around and stuff, but im concerned about her weight. if she was a person, id call this bulimia. but shes not a person...shes a kitten. and im really worried.
can someone tell me what i can do? or if you recognize what this is? (link)

If you have the money, take her to see a vet. Animals can be fragile and sometimes if you don't recognize problems in time they can be dangerous.

I'm really paranoid and it's causing me to waste a lot of my time and have many missed oppurtunities. I tend to apologzie for things a lot. Like if I'm being to loud in my cousins car I'll apologize. If I talk too much about the guy I like to my friends I apologize, (and I know that they really don't mind it, they've expressed that to me a lot). I'm always afraid that I'm bothering people. I suggest to some of my school friends that we hang out sometime and that I'll text them, and sometimes I wimp out because I'm scared that I'm bothering them. And I can't even talk to the guy I like outside of school or by text (I told him that I liked him about a month and a half ago, and it kinda freaked him out, and he never really clearly responded to it and things are still awkward but fortunately we're still friends. But the awkwardness makes me even more paranoid. Also, he's the type who won't talk much if he's not being talked to, and it can be slightly difficult to hold a conversation with hm if you have nothign to say, so that doesn't exactly help either). I'm too scared to even just say "Hey, what's up I'm so bored right now" or something like that. I'm just constantly scared that I'm a bother to people and that they're going to be like "wow she needs to leave me the hell alone" or something. I'm tired of not making plans with people and I still want to their to be some possibility that the guy I like will maybe start liking me back too, and I can't expect to accomplish that in only 3 periods a day in school, which will be over for the year soon. How do I get over this? (link)
| |
Don't be afraid to at least try starting conversations, or sending people that first text message. If they reply or want to talk, then keep talking to them.

My friends and I broke out in an extreamly verbal fight yesterday. My best friend, Alexis heard I was telling everyone she likes this boy, Ben, whom I happen to like. The truth is when people asked me if she liked him, I always told them I really didn't know! I mean, she's my best friend, I wouldn't do that to her. Anywho, at lunch that day, she confronted me and said "WHY ARE YOU TELLING EVERYONE I LIKE BEN?!" and I told her what really happened and what I said. Her reaction was "I don't believe you because you've been acting fake lately, and really weird." I said Okay, and walked away. After lunch, we were on the way to our next block class. In the hall way, two of the popular, mean girls I thought I was friends with came up SCREAMING at me, when non of this was any of their buisness. Of course I yelled back, and when the teacher pushed us apart from each other, I began to cry because I was frusturated and upset and angry that I didn't hit her while I had the chance. The teacher emailed my principle and they called me down and to talk. They called the three girls, including Alexis down, too. Ever since then, they got on myspace and started talking about me so that I could see it. THey're telling everyone to not be my friend. It's seriously killing me. And today I didn't even go to school because I don't want to get beat up. I dont know what to do.. I want my best friend back. I want this to be over. PLEASE HELP!?! (link)
| |
Best friends don't treat each other that way. Explain to her the truth. If she doesn't listen or care about what you have to say, then forget about her.

ohkay soo for my birthday which is in like less than a month I am getting my belly button pierced, but I want to loose my fat on my stomach and make it hard. What would be your exercise routine you would give me? I'm not like fat just my stomach is like a little bit big. (link)
| |
It doesn't work to target fat loss in a specific part of your body. When you lose fat, you lose it uniformly from your body. You'll just have to exercise and eat better.
|
|
okay, i wanna loose up to 10 pds before summer starts. it starts in about alomst a month or so and i dont know how to keep a daily diet and how to stop me from eating bad and unhealthy foods. any suggestions pleaseee? (link)
|
Try researching diet plans that involve eating 5-6 small meals in a day rather than 2-3 large ones. Eating this way boosts your metabolism. As for foods to avoid, you should obviously avoid junk food, fast food, and sugary drinks. You can still have them, but not every day. When you do eat that kind of food, eat it in moderation, don't binge.
If you want to lose 10 pounds in a month (thats a lot for such a short time) you're going to need to exercise.

Well I'm a really good driver, i've finished drivers ed & everything, I just have to wait till my sixteenth birthday which is october, which I know is a while from now.. But I like to think ahead. My mom got a new vehicle for her birthday, so my dad took her old one, and now I have my dads, it's a 2003 Isuzu Rodeo, which is great and all, I know many people dont even have vehicles and I should be greatful, which I am. But I really really really want a Mazda3 like 2007, not even new. But I know if I ask them they'll freak out and get all mad. I really want that car, Id do like anything to get it. So are there anyways you think I could persuade my parents? I'm definitely getting a job. So they wanted to give me money but I don't even want that cause I can get money with a job. So please help (link)
| |
You want a 2007 car for your birthday? Unless your family makes quite a bit of money, then expecting a car like that for your 16th birthday is a little ridiculous.

I was just wondering if it is alright to tan in a tanning bed while preganant. (link)

There are ton's of myths surrounding tanning beds. Ask a doctor.

so one day i was randomly singing with my best friend ana, when all of a sudden she stopped but i continued. When i finished the song, she's like "ohmigosh you can sing!" I honestly dont think so. so ana forced me to sing to my other bestie mary who also sings, and she said the same thing. This continued for the entire week, then they made me sing for my high school friend who is auditioning for american idol nxt year, and he also said i could sing R&B. evryone says i can except me. Should i take a chance and believe them? Or should i just keep it to myself? I know this is hard w/o a sample but please try you best.
thx (link)
| |
The real important question is: do you like singing? If you do, then you should practice and get better! If random people think you can sing well, then you've probably got a lot of potential.

I do not have a steady schedule, sometimes I am up all night and sometimes I'm up all day. I am working out and I would like to make sure when I eat doesn't effect all my work during the day. I am planning on working out for 30-45 minutes a day and eating no more than 1700 total calories (1500 is the basic goal, 1700 is my splurge max). If I do eat at let's says 4 in the morning, how long should I wait before I go to bed? Or does it not matter as long as I am burning off enough calories throughout the day?
Thanks (link)
|
The healthiest (and most difficult) way to eat is to eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. If you eat a small meal every three hours or so you can greatly improve your metabolism.
In general, I would not suggest eating any kind of large meal within 3 or less hours of going to bed.

OKAY,SO I HAVE ACNE ON MY BACK.WHAT CAN I DO TO get rid OF IT?
PLEASE I NEED IT SOON,BECAUSE PROM IS CMING UP AND I HAVE TO WEAR A DRESS AND I DONT WANT PPL TO C IT. (link)
| |
The best you can really do in the short term is to keep your skin clean. There are many rumored causes of acne (stress, unhealthy eating, ect) that may cause it, but I'm no doctor so I can't say for sure. Most people naturally have acne during puberty. If it bothers you too much, go see a doctor about prescription acne medication. It's not hard to get, but all of the medicines have side effects.

Okay, so I had a myspace for about 6 months, then it mysterisly got delted.then i created another one, had it for about 2 weeks then it got delted. wat is up with this?
what can i do to found out what has or is happening? (link)
| |
Does anyone else know your password? If they do, then it's a pretty good bet that they're the one deleting your account. For extra security, log out when you're not using your computer (as opposed to using the option that keeps you logged in all the time).
|
Okayy,not be disguisting or anything but i have really bad arm fat.
is there a way that i can get rid of it, because everyone teases me about it. (link)
| |
Unfortunately, one cannot target fat lass in a specific place. There are two ways to help your problem however: First, try exercising your arms. This won't actually make you lose fat in your arms but building muscle could tighten them up a little. Secondly, and a better solution, is to start exercising to lose weight. When you lose fat, you lose it pretty uniformly from your body. It doesn't matter what exercise you do as long as you're burning extra calories.

My best friend started smoking weed about a year and a half ago. At first she just did it on the weekends every now and again. She invited me to join her at the parties but I didn't want to so I never did go and join in. All of this time has gone by and with everything going on it sounds like she is doing something else (drugs) but I KNOW she isn't. I KNOW she isn't doing any other drugs besides the pot.
Well, anyway, she now smokes pot a lot. She smokes probably every day, usually after school (when she actually goes to school). We still talk on the phone but it's becoming clear that the weed is doing something scary to her.
My best friend has become increasingly paranoid over the littlest things. Her behaviors have changed to where it's almost impossible to be around her and not go insane!
She will only eat something if it's cut into 3 pieces or if there is only 3 pieces of it. At first I thought she was kidding around but it's become obsessive and when you ask her about it she says it's "safer" to eat in 3s but can't explain why. She is sick a lot, A WHOLE LOT, and so I thought maybe the smaller portions helps her or something but when I asked her if that was it, she got really confused and I dropped it.
She won't go out of her house after 8:27 at night. I don't know why! Like, if I ask her to spend the night she always says no and says she HAS to be home before 8:27pm. She never has any plans or anything though. It's really weird and because of that, we don't hang out so much anymore. I mean, we can't go out to movies at night, can't double date, can't go to a football game, can't spend the night at my house--because she's weird! I thought maybe that's when she wants to be high at night but I don't know. It's confusing.
Then, when Twilight came out, we were going to miss school and see it together. We totally had plans to see Twilight in the theatre that day and so I went and waited for her. She never showed up! I felt so stupid because I was waiting for her at the theater and everybody that was going to see Twilight had people to watch it with but me so I just walked out. I went and called her and she was all, "Twilight? Oh. I forgot that was today." It was a big deal to us though! I'm still mad at her over that though, but it wasn't just one time...time and time again she has not showed up for things or not been ready when I came to pick her up. She always "forgets" about the plans even if we just talked about them the day before!!!
It's just gotten to the point that she's crazy, constantly sick with something, and, well, smells bad. She always smells like pot and has met up with me without washing for a few days. It's just...disgusting. I don't want to lose my best friend but it's like I already have. She can't even tell me secrets now without making me jump through hoops for the information because she's afraid I will tell somebody. We can't do anything together because of her time restriction and her forgetfulness.
Can I save my friend and our friendship or is it not worth it any more? I'm so confused at what is happening to her but she doesn't seem to notice anything has changed. We've been best friends for a lot of years now and she wasn't like this before. What do I do? (link)
|
It sounds to me like she's just high all the time. Being high makes you paranoid. It also gives you the munchies, causing you to potentially overeat and make yourself sick. If she forgets everything, well that's another consequence of being high. In general, weed isn't dangerous or addictive, but she could be addicted if she just wants to smoke all day, every day. It's possible that she's using another drug, or it's possible that if she's getting her weed from an unreliable dealer that it could have something else in it.
If you think she's prioritizing smoking weed over having a social life, then confront her about it. Try to be nice, but be firm. Tell her that you don't want to hang out with her any more if she's just going to be high all the time.

Okay, so I am bi and have this friend. She's beautiful, smart, and likes me for who I am. I really want to get over her because it makes my time alone with her really awkward. She doesn't know that i have a crush on her, and I'm not about to tell her. I just want these feelings to go away. Can you offer me any advice/help? (link)
| |
The best you can really do is to wait it out. You'll lose interested eventually.

is mp3face.com a safe website to use if i want to download music for free?? I have already downloaded a few songs and it works fine but I want to double check to make sure its safe and i won't get in trouble.
thanks! (link)
|
I've never heard of someone getting in trouble for downloading mp3s directly from a website. The only way you could be caught for that is if someone was illegally monitoring your internet connection (unlikely, and in which case they would have no case against you) or if the website was raided by the police and they looked up all the people who downloaded the songs (even more unlikely, almost certainly isn't going to happen).
You should be more concerned about viruses and spyware. A site like that is going to be full of ads and the like. Just make sure all the files you're downloading are .mp3 and NOT executable programs.

So for my High School math project, I have to find a job that I could get right out of college (so at maximum, one year of experience) that would pay 50,000 dollars per year. I have no idea what jobs pay that. Any help ASAP would be extremely appreciated. Thanks! (link)
| |
Computer and tech jobs, law firms, medical stuff, business manager. Just look at some of the higher-end college degrees and think about what kinds of jobs people with those degrees could get.

mkay. well this is katas fran. but I neeeeeeed help now!
Okay. Well there is this guy I like and I have known him for about 3 years. We were okay friends a while ago, and then I started to like him. I was to embaressed to tell him though. Eventually it got around school that I liked him, but he didn't believe them because we were such good friends. So I got over him. Then I find out that he likes me, and he asked me to the dance, but I said no :/ bigg mistake!
But anywats we became really good friends. Now this year, he recently wrote in my yearbook saying that he thinks I'm cool, and that it sucked that we liked each other @ different times. And that now he wishes we could get "closer" with a ;) face at the end.
He keeps touching my hands on "accident" and stuff.
And I like him again. But the other day he was talking about how he wants to date my friend abi's sister.
Wtf? Is he tryin to make me jealous?
So my guy friend tyler told him and tyler said he didn't say anything. Now when I see him in the hall he always smiles and flirts with me.
So, my overall question is does he like me? And what should I do? Make a move? Whhat!! Lol. Help me :( (link)
| |
If you want to be with him then make a move. How else do you expect it to happen?

Like shes this really big b*tch. Just 5 minutes ago, i heard her talking to my dad (I know that she wanted me to over hear) and she said, "Shes not my daughter shes yours". I was like okay.. rude much? Didn't say this but really! Last night she was screaming at me to empty the dishwasher, so while i was emptying it, I had a stack of bowls, and one fell off the top, hit me in the head and fell on the ground and broke. I started to clean it up, and the vacum wouldn't work. She started getting even more pissed at me thinkin i dropped the bowl on purpose, so i said "Yeah, cuz thats smart, drop it so then I have to clean it up." She like freaked out about this, and started threating me that should could beat my a$$. Then I was going up to my room and she threw me agianst the door grabbingt my arms so hard that they left her read hand prints on my arms. And screaming at me that I need to give her respect. Personally, I will never respect her, shes a b*tch, and I hate her. Anyway, then I was in the hallway on my way to my room, and she grabbed me agian saying that she'd throw me threw the wall behind me and all this sh*t. Ohh, and just like 5 minutes ago, she was sayint that if i didn't load the dishwasher she'd grab me by the hair and shove my head in the sink. shes ruining my life, and I need to get away from her.
Please don't say that I should stay with relitves/friends for a week or so, because I would stay with my grandma, my moms mom, but all she does is take my moms side. I understand that she is her daughter, but when is she going to wake up and realize that her daughter is a monster. I am 14 and a freshamn in highschool, so i'm stuck here for 3years. I don't think anyone in my family understands, that I want absolotly nothing to do with them once i'm gone.
I have an older brother, who died when he was 55days old. I don't think that my mom understands that shes lost one kid, and now after today and last night, shes lost another one, my older sister is on the verge, and she still has my younger brother, but only because hes the baby and the only boy.
She plays favorites WAYY to much, and its not fair. LIke she honestly hates me, and at this point I don't care. Shes a terrible mother and person.
So I guess what I am trying to ask, is what do I do. I need to get away from here, but I have no where to go. How do I put up with her. Even if I'm not doing anything she picks fights, like if I say one thing she starts screaming at me. I can't even keep my distence, because she like comes after me when she decides to. I'm sick of it, and I don't know what to do. If I could afford to live on my own, I'd divorce her as my parents. What do I do!
**This isn't the first time shes gone this over the top. (link)
|
Try talking to your Dad about it. If he doesn't help, then just avoid your mother as much as you possibly can. Stay out of your house and hang out with your friends. Plan your day so that when you're around the house she won't be.
If your mother ever tries to seriously hurt you, don't be afraid to call the police.
