about

Hi, I'm Emily. Call me Emily or Em, I prefer either. I have been a featured columnist 2 times now. After disabling my account I had about 3 years ago, a lot has happened which made me want to come back. I feel as though helping people with their problems, helps me solve mine, even if that doesn't make a lot of sense to any of you. Don't hesitate to ask me anything, I will answer fairly quickly depending on the question. If you want a hard-thought out answer, which is what I usually give, it may take a little longer- it benefits everyone in the long run.

last night in the student union at my university, they had a video game set up on the big screen that people were playing. it was a little indian dancing to tribal music and you had to follow steps. it was soo cute and looked like so much fun! does anyone know what game that is? is it the new Just Dance 2? that's what it looked like but i thought they played real songs from the radio on that game, but this was just instrumental music. thanks for the help!

Either it was the original Just Dance, because there is an indian song on that one, or Just Dance 2.

Well i've been with my boyfriend for four years, and i'm one of those girls who no matter how many times i hear that porn is okay i can't get it through my head and it still hurts, well i had learned to accept it as long as he did it when we weren't going to have sex, but i recently found out he does it like after or before we have sex i asked him not to because it bothers me and i caught him again, and after a while he admitted he had a problem and was addicted and was going to seek help, so i stumbled upon porn filters and i mentioned it to him and he said he wouldn't mind but i don't know how porn works with guys, will this cause him to want to do others girls now that he can't wack it to just the thought of others? cause i always researched how to accept your guy looking at porn and they always said " you should be happy he's trying to control it not doing the real thing" hes always looked at porn so i don't know what problems it's going to cause if i apply this filter. What do you think?

If you've been with your boyfriend for 4 years, I honestly think he's commited to you, if he watches pron or not. Watching porn isn't going to make someone unfaithful or cheat. He just might want it from you more, haha. He could be saying he's fine with the filters, but he really might not be. Talk to him about it once more so you know for sure its okay. I can imagine how your feeling, I wouldn't be comfortable with it either. He needs to understand that too if he's going to continue to be a good boyfriend.

Let me know how this all works out in another Inbox. Good Luck Sweetie!

My little sister is 15 and she's looking for a job in Texas. Can you be 15 and work at Walmart, h.e.b, Kroger, Brookshire Brothers, or any other grocery store like that? And does she have to have a works permit at 15? Thanks for all your time and help.

I don't live in Texas, so I'm not sure what the work rules are there, but where I live, jobs rarely hire kids under 16, its for law sake. It wouldn't hurt to ask around at places that she might find interesting to work.

Good Luck at the job hunt!

When I was younger I had a couple warts on my hands. I am now 20 and haven't had a wart in over 5 years. Although they are still a bit of a sore subject for me. Everytime I get a cut on my hand, I start to panic thinking I might get a wart again. Also whenever I get a small bump on my hand I freak out a rip it off.

How can I overcome this mental problem of mine. I have nightmares about nothing but warts under all if my skin. It stresses me out so much.

Sounds to me like its a phobia. It's most likely from the experience you had as a child. I have them too, and they suck, but no need to be scared of them. They are very easy to remove yourself. See a counselor about this problem. It should help you out a lot.

Good Luck!

I like to keep juice in the fridge. This particular suspect was Ocean Spray Strawberry Cranberry Banana. I was not a big fan of it so I didn't drink it much. I opened it today after about 2 weeks of inactivity on its part. As I unscrewed the top, it hissed at me, much as a soda does when you open it. When I tasted it, it tasted carbonated. That juice was not carbonated when I bought it. The ingredients do not list carbonated water. I threw it out. Why did it taste carbonated?

It's just old. When it says "Drink before date printed above", they mean it. It turns carbonated. This happened to me last week also. Just try and drink the juice faster next time.

i am always chewing gum, i only chew like mint flavors like dentin ice, orbit and sometimes a few others. I was wondering if it would have an effect on my teeth?

Sugar-free gum doesn't do much harm. Whenever I go to the dentist, they're chewing gum. Can't be all that bad for you...

I need a girl that lives in Waterloo Iowa and goes to Hoover middle school in 7th grade

This isn't a dating site, nor do you need to be in love in 7th grade. Do this on your own.

I'm going to go to highschool next year and i really want to make the highschool soccer team! I'm the fastest girl, on my current team. And I'm also one of the fastest girls in the league. I heard that in the highschool soccer tryouts, I will have to be able to run a mile in seven and a half minutes and then I will have to run another mile. But, I've always been bad at long distance running. I've started out with running a half mile around my neighborhood, but every time I run it(once or twice a week)it's extremely hard for me. I'm worried that I won't be able to run the 2 miles, once it's time for soccer tryouts.

You have plenty of time! This is coming from a girl who was in the same boat as you. You need to run more than that each week. As you keep running, it gets a lot easier. Keep working at it, and you will be fine.

ok my bf is 2 years older than me and probably alot more expirienced...and he keeps asking me weird questions and it sounds like he is trying to hint at sex and i dont want to yet..wat do i do?

Tell him. Don't let him, or any guy for that matter, pressure you into something you don't want to do. If he dumps you, so be it. You'll meet someone who wont do that to you.

Show leadership qualities. Make sure everyone on the team listens and respects you. Also, make sure you prove to them that you have potential to get the team far.

whats the best and fastest way to loose weight

Diet AND Exercise. You can't loose weight with just the diet and no exercise, and vice versa. No junk food and work out every day, or every other day. There is really no 'fast' way to loose weight.

Okay. There's this guy. We've only been dating for three and a half weeks but I can't do it. It was a mistake. I just can't handle a boyfriend right now. I feel like a bitch breaking up with him so early and I still wanna be friends but I can't do it anymore! I don't know what to do but I feel like shit when I think about being with and I feel like shit thinking about dumping him because it's not his fault... Help! I'm 15/F he's 17/M

You need to do whats right for you first before you devote yourself to anyone else. Tell that to him, and if he really likes you, he will understand and remain a friend.

hey i am a 16 yearold girl and i want to be a model so bad but my probelm is i weigh 125 and i am 5 4.5...am i too fat and short or do i need to lose weight

I know you may want to be a model, but don't try and be exactly like the models you see in magazines and on tv. You sound just the right size, just maintain your weight and stay away from junk. Good Luck!

Which blackberry do you guys think i should get
the Blackberry Torch or the blackberry Bold?...and please tell me why. thank you (:

I just got the torch on Saturday. I absolutely love it. It comes in 3 available colors: Red, Black and White. It slides up and is touch screen, unlike the Bold. The bold also only comes in black. Its a little bigger, but its totally worth it. I absolutely love it. Let me know what you end up getting!

hi i live in a very small house, i need to no the steps to getr your pparents t omvoe

You can't do that. Your parents might not be in a good financial state and can only afford a little house right now. It's certainly okay to tell them how you feel about where you live, but I doubt they will change their whole life around for you, especially if they can't afford too. Hang in there, everything will work out for the better. Good things come to those who wait.

If you even have to question about this being slutty, then the answer is usually yes.

This is slutty behavior, whether you like it or not. Have some self respect girl.

is it ok to go out with a guy after my best friend did?plz answer need help fast!! i rate high!

It is if your best friend is completely okay with it. She might say she's fine with it, but deep down she might not be. Talk to her about it first before you go out with this boy. You wouldn't want to loose a lifetime friend to a boy who you wont marry anyways.
