It's fine.Ask me a question. I like giving advice. If you don't like the advice I give, or the opinion I have, it's fine.
Sometimes you can't get through to people no matter how long and hard you try.

okay so im only 13 (f) but i really like, no, LOVE rap songs. not songs that like you cant make out the words and they sing really fast, but like the song "Low". Whenever my older brother plays his i pod i love to sing and dance to all of his kewl songs but he just calls me a dork. none of my other friends like the same kind of songs. Should i try to like the other songs or should i just listen to my songs when im alone?
If you like rap, listen to rap. It doesn't matter what other people tell you to listen to...why listen to a genre of music if you don't like it? You shouldn't have to hide the fact that you listen to hip-hop and if other people don't want you to listen to it, that's their problem. I personally don't like rap, but I'm certainly not going to bring you down for listening to it. Just be respectful of all different genres because, as you've learned here, everybody has different tastes. Music = Expression
Hi! im doing my science fair on soda, and for the background report i need to research the history of soda.
i need book resources, ad ive tried google but i cant find any books on the history of soda! (i searched BOOK HISTORY SODA)
any ideas? ill go check the library tomorrow, but if there arent any books on google will there be any in the library?
i guess im stressing over this a little too much, anyway thanx so much!
xo,
L
I found a few titles that may or may not help you...
Sundae Best: A History of Soda Fountains by Anne Funderburg
Soda Poppery: The History of Soft Drinks in America : With Recipes for Making and Using Soft Drinks Plus Easy Science Experiments by Stephen Tchudi
When you go to the library, try checking under the keywords 'pop culture' or 'american novelties'. You'd get a book of several different topics, but soda would be in there somewhere possibly...
Good luck with your science fair! =]
I used to watch a movie as a child. Like 10 years ago. It was about the Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe but I'm not sure what the movie is called. I can't seem to find a video on it. I remember the woman seemed to have all [boys] who liked the same.. I'm pretty sure it was in black and white cartoon with just music. I remember that the children were making noise when they were supposed to be sleeping and the woman was going to give them 'medicine' so they all ran to their beds.. she ended up drinking alcohol i guesss.
i believe it was a short.. i think there were other nursery rhymes in the video. Does anyone have an idea?
It's called 'Kids in a Shoe' I believe. I used to watch it to like all the time lol.
I have it on a VHS called 50 Classic (6 Full Hours of Color Cartoons) Volume 2.
Ok there this boy that my bff and I both like. He talks to me and hugs me all the time, but he barely ever even looks at my bff. I don't know whether he likes me and i should make a move or he doesn't and I should back down?
Personally, I think that it's a messy business pursuing a guy that you AND your friend like. Before you even think about making a move, talk to your bff about it. If she's like head-over-heels in love with this guy, it could get a little awkward if you and him go out.
Hopefully this helps a little...
Okay.Kinda Long.Sorry. A few months ago i met a boy.He ended up liking me..asking me out.I said no.I just dont and wont feel the same way.We then still carried on as friends. I once added my best friend in a convo we had once...on msn. Then even though they didnt no eachother , he came to her saying he's heartbroken and cant get over me. My best friend thinks he is a FREAK i mean it really! Me and her are really close so..yes..anyway..she told him to get over it and go away. [ she's harsh like that]. Then a like a month later he kept hinting he liked me and then started saying he was depressed but he didnt no why and really started feeling sorry for himself. I told him to figure out why he was depressed and go from there. And now, randomly he started a convo with my best mate [ who thinks he is a freak..like really] and he asked her out [even though he dosnt no her]. She said yes because she wanted to scare him and stuff because he has never had a girlfriend before. Then she realised because he is depressed and wants to kill himself [ he told me he wants to kill himself] that she cant play along with it because if she dumped him or whatever..he might hurt himself. But i know for a fact he is such a attention seeker and has the perfect life. Seriously. And his best friend has got his first girlfriend and now the boy is like all upset about that like he's leaving him behind. My theory is that the boy that liked me asked out my best friend because he wanted to either get over me, try to make jelous [ which is not working at all], and try to be in compeition with his best friend, and asking out my best friend for his rebound. What do you think him asking out my best friend meant . They hardly no eachother! What's his game?
Your theories are most likely correct. All of them: the trying to make you jealous, in competition with his best friend, and the rebound. This guy wants attention, any possible way he can get it. If he doesn't stop trying to make you feel guilty with suicide threats and what not, just ignore him. Chances are that he won't go through with it and he's just trying to guilt you into going out with him.
Your friend however needs to break up with this kid, because although he is trying to manipulate you guys, it doesn't make it right for her to manipulate him. This cycle won't stop until somebody decides to be the bigger person.
Anyways, like I said before, I would just ignore him completely if he's bothering you. He clearly can't just be friends with you, he has to have more than that. And all that drama isn't worth it.
Good luck with this kid.
I got my period for the first time back in November.
(i'm 14/f, by the way, 15 in a little over 4 weeks) Anyways, my mom doesn't know yet. I don't know how to tell her, because i'm too embarrassed! She said she's thinking about taking me to the doctor if i don't get it (or tell her about it) soon.
Any tips on how to tell her? Thanks soo much!!!!!!!
What I would do is just sit down with your mom to talk. Make sure you guys are alone, then it's less embarrassing. Start off by saying 'Well, Mom, there's something I should tell you...' and then don't delay, just spit it out. If she asks you why you didn't tell her about it earlier, just explain your feelings of embarrassment. Everyone goes through this, so relax and be open to your mom.
As for the embarrassment, she might embarrass you a little with the 'Oh my baby's growing up so much!' but that comes with the territory honey. It's best to be honest with her about it because this is a big part of your life.
Good luck!
my boyfriend and i have been together for eight months now. its really nice but i think hes getting tired of me. everytime i mention taking a break he goes crazy though. i dont want him to stay just because he thinks i wont be here later. what can i dooo.
Are you getting tired of him? If you are, then take a break and tell him it's for the best.
However, if you are just assuming that he's the one getting tired of you...I don't think he is if he's going crazy every time you mention it. He probably likes you and it would kill him to take a break.
I'm not there to see the signs if he actually is tired of you so I'm going by my interpretation of what you wrote, but give him a chance. Try not to assume he's bored with the relationship because that might not be true. Jumping to conclusions will leave you with regret in most cases.
Well, My friend lets call her Judy, is going out with a guy i like but before they went out i dropped hints that i liked him, im guessing he got them because when i walked with Judy, her boyfriend kept smiling at me. but i dont want to be mean and be a little slut so should i lay low for a while and wait or what shall i do? im having a crisis, she is a very kwel person to hang out with and well a nice friend i defintly dont want to be a slut and talkt o him while they are together. so....? help me out here please. and thanks
well all these happened in a week time period.
Well, if he's going out with your friend he's off limits for now.
If they ever break up and you still like him, before you make a move you would have to double-check to make sure Judy is okay with it.It's very important to keep your friend's feelings in mind. Also be sensitive to the timing. Don't immediately jump on him like five minutes after they break up. Wait it out. And who knows, by the time they break up you could have a crush on another guy who may be 1000 times more amazing than this guy...
Good luck...=]
My ex has been saying things about me to a friend that really upset me and he says it was just a joke.
I am so mad to the point where I don't want to see him or talk to him or think about him and i really want to hit something!
What do I do!
The same thing happened to me last year sweetie. If you dumped him, he's probably just saying it to save his pride (you know how idiotic boys can be sometimes). If he dumped you, then he did you a favor because you don't need a liar like that who uses people.
My advice would be try and ignore what he says, because either way it doesn't matter what he thinks of you. Just let it roll right off your shoulders.
This boy that Ive liked for 10 months hasnt talked to me in a long time.We used to talk all the time but now he just ignores me.And whenever he sees me he stares at me for a long time.My sister says that he likes me.What do you think and why?
Maybe he does like you and is suddenly shy and doesn't know what to say. I really like this guy and we used to talk all the time before I knew I liked him. Now, I'm so nervous that I don't know what to say. It's not that he's ignoring you, he just may be shy. What I suggest would be you trying to start up a conversation. Then he doesn't have to and it will save him the embarrassment of being tongue-tied.
Good luck sweetie. =]
I've read all the series, and I loove that book :D
I was wondering does anyone think/know whether they're gonna make a movie of ''confessions of a shopaholic''
Me and my friend were discussing it and we both think so...
and I was wondering..
What do you guys think? :D
According to Wikipedia:
Shopaholic is a series of novels written by the UK author Madeleine Wickham under the pseudonym Sophie Kinsella. As of February 2007, there are five books in the series. The entire series has been optioned by a Hollywood studio. On Sophie Kinsella's website, she stated that the first Shopaholic movie is in production at Disney.
You said to try and get my friend help, but I don't really know how to do that. I don't know how to talk to him about getting help. He's been pushing me away lately. My mom used to be a psychologist if that helps any. I have talked to her about it, and my dad thinks my friend has to much "mental and family baggage" for me to deal with, like I don't think my dad even wants me to be friends with him. Another issue that's came up lately is my friend having sex with his girlfriend. I'm worried that if he keeps it up he could become a daddy, and he really doesn't need that in his life. The girl is hurting him.
Well, asking your dad for help is out of the question I suppose. If your mom used to be a psychologist, does she know of anyone who could help him? Or maybe she could talk to him...
You need to let him know that you want to get him help because you care. Let him know that you're not doing this to make his life more complicated, you are doing it to make his life easier.
As for him having sex with his girlfriend, I'm sorry but that's out of your control. Perhaps though if you get him help he will see that he doesn't need to complicate his life even more.
I wish you and your friend luck! I really hope this helped you out...
how do i kiss??????

Good luck with kissing! =]
Look I Come From A Strict Family...
Both Of My Parents Are Teachers...
And Im 13 And Im Already A Total Party Animal...
But My Parents Wont Let Me Do Anything!!!
My Dad Will Not Let Me Talk To Boys...
Let Alone Have A Boyfreind!!!!!
And I Just Want To Be On My Own A Bit...
And EveryTime My Parents Say No....
We End Up In A Fight...!
What Should I Do...!
The next time that you ask your parents about talking to boys or having a boyfriend, try asking in a very mature way. Like, don't yell or shout or use that famous line 'But all my friends do!' As hard as it may be, if your parents still say no then surprise them by backing down. Then you're not fighting and you've exhibited some maturity which will make them more likely to let you do things in the near future.
Trust me on this: I've been there and it definitely helps to back down sometimes.
Good luck!

The past month i have been suffering relationships with all of my friends....first im being blamed 4 everything when it isnt even my fault and they just dont seem 2 want 2 b around me....please give me advice!!!
Okay, take a step back and breathe. It isn't your fault sweetie. People change and grow apart. Maybe some of your friends are going through a rough time in their lives and they need someone to blame. Sometimes when people feel vulnerable, they lash out at someone who they feel intimidated by or jealous of. That's just one possibility that it could be; I'm not there witnessing this firsthand so I'm totally going from my own past experiences.
It isn't fair that it has to be you, but show them that you are a good supportive friend (without being pushy or obnoxious). No matter what the reason for them acting like this is, you need to continue being there for them.
However, if this continues to the point where they totally disrespect you and shun you completely despite your efforts, are they worth it? Do what you can to keep it together, but there comes a point where enough is enough.
I really hope you can work it out with your friends. I totally understand and am here if you have any more problems. Good luck!
My boyfriend's family doesnt really like me all to much. They [ had ] a reason to . This past summer[ 07 ] i kissed another boy , i made a horribLe mistake but he was gracious enough to still love me just as much and give me another chance. We have been dating 11 months and 3 weeks. Once his family fount out [ a lonng time ago ] They just never really cared for me . I can totally tell from before i cheated , to after. His family was rude to me to my face and still are . His mom isnt the same around me to , Iv tryed so hard to show his family how completly sorry i am , i respect them to the max and im polite . But they still havent forgave me , [ i can tell ] i just wanna know what to do . They have had more than enough time to get over it , if justin [ boyfriend ] can deal with me , then why cant his family who i never see?
His family has a right to distrust you a little after what you did, but being disrespectful right to your face? That's wrong. I would stop trying so hard to show how sorry you are. You've done what you can to earn back their respect and its up to them now. If they continue treating you this way, maybe you should try talking to your boyfriend Justin about it. Communication is key. You need his family on your side too if you want to keep this relationship alive.
His family just cares about him and doesn't want to see him hurt again. That's a good thing. But it's getting a bit out of hand.
Good luck with this.
14f I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY WANT.If you have a boyfriend you should talk to eachother about also being able to see other people like calling them your bf/gf also. I mean, why should you have to stick to that one bf/gf, that will get boring, give your love life some variety. The whole commitment thing is i think overrated. Or you can call it a commitment but have the same with other people too. I want as many peoples opinion on this. Maybe someone can change my mind. Thanks
I don't think you should have multiple boyfriends at the same time. I sort of agree with the person below me in that of course you can casually date a variety of people. But, having all of them as your boyfriend? That doesn't seem fair to them and I wouldn't consider them to really be your boyfriend if you are that willing to have so many.
That's just my opinion...I'm not scolding you or anything.
i was wondering..making out and frenching is different right?
i always thought making out was alot of kisses non stop and frenching was using your tounge.
Also, do girls get mad if you put your hands like on their butt while making out?
Making out and frenching can be a little different. But you can kind of combine the two like french while you make out. I don't know, different people have different opinions about that. But as far as I know...
And about the hands on their butt thing...it all depends. If its the first time, then yes probably. But once you two are more comfortable with each other, then it's generally acceptable. But I wouldn't do it the first time; it's disrespectful in my opinion.
Okay wel sorry if this will be long but i have a lot to say and i need an ear to talk to...
I used to like this boy a long time ago (last year) and i told him how i felt and it pretty much just scared him off. But i got over that and now i like this one guy, cj, but he is different than drew (he was the guy i liked first) i dont know why but i just care more about him and i want him to want me like i want him. You know what im saying. But im not obsessed or anything like that. He had a girlfriend and i waited.
At one point i thought he liked me. Because we never talked at all, and he would look at me, until i caught him, then he would look away. And he threw a paper ball at me. Then like 5 weeks ago he told me he had a girlfriend and all, but it came up casually in a conversation. And about a week ago, he was seriously flirting with me, and this past tuesday i found out that him and his girlfriend broke up. Now we still talk and everything, but i am having self doubt.
I feel like i am getting my hopes up and i dont have a chance. He is a senior and i am a freshman but im 15 and hes 18...only three years, and we are a small community and the senior boys arent really like players, well most of them. But he is really nice and sweet. I dont want to ruin it by coming on too strong. But he was saying that he likes to talk about his feelings and he is sort of a romantic and likes a girl thats fun and has a sense of humor, (which is pretty much me in a nutshell) and he said i can be dumb funny and cute at the same time... he was teasing me and touching me with his arm constantly. I just mesh with him...
But:
1) Do you think i have a chance at all?
2) do you think he was just being nice while he was flirting or is there something there?
3) Do you think i am getting ahead of myself?
4) How should i handle this? Normally i would tell a guy i liked him as long as he dont have a girlfriend and he dont but he is the only one i have ever had trouble dealing with this. Like im not nervous or anything..you know what i mean?
Sorry its so long but i need guidance.. :)
Honestly, I truly believe you have a chance. He's telling you about what he looks for in a girl, and he said that you are funny and cute. That's a very good sign.
I think it's a really really really really (you get my point) good sign that you are having trouble knowing what to do with him. That means that you feel differently about him than with other guys and you don't want to mess it up because you want to make this happen. =] That's a GREAT thing, embrace it. Love it. I totally understand where you are coming from.
My advice to you would be just continue flirting, and kick it up a notch to see if he can take a hint that you like him. Don't be too over-the-top; nobody likes a ditzy girl, trust me lol. Just keep the friendship you seem to have with him going and take things slow. You have time, so what's the point in rushing and messing up? I just wouldn't go right out and tell him just yet. Be totally sure of your feelings first, and you're right: you don't want to get TOO ahead of yourself.
Once again, I really do think that there is something there between you two. Just be yourself (I know, cliche right?) and go with the flow. The last thing you want is to beat yourself up over this.
Good luck sweetie =] You'll be great.
By the way:
You do have a good point with him going off to college soon and only having a few more weeks left in class. If you two are friends (which it seems like you are) then I believe it would be a very good idea to casually give him your phone number. I'd give him yours and say something like "Here, so you can text me sometime..." Be all flirty when you give it to him, you know? Then, don't ask for his. See if he offers it to you, and if he doesn't, he might text you later and then you'll have it. Don't be needy; let him come to you.
