my step-dad made me download mozilla firefox because it is supposed to be better than microsoft internet explorer.. so my question is.. is it really better? and i also am having a problem seeing my mail on optium online

In my opinion, yes, Mozilla FireFox is better than the regular Internet Explorer. There are easier ways to view the sources of sites and there aren't any of those pop ups when using Mozilla and it's just better.

Ok...I've never met this kid in person but I talk to him online all the time. He's lets call him J's friend, and lets call him B. Well J told me that B likes me...I want to know if it's possible to like someone that you never met in person? I think I like him.

I think it is possible to like someone that you've never met but usually it really isn't possible because you really don't know how this person acts in real life. It is possible but online relationships never work out; there's always a slim chance that it will for some people.

I hate my column colors, their getting old. Anyone have any cute colors that go good together? Other than Pink/black. Right now its pink/black/baby blue and I want something different. I rate 5's if you try! =)

My column right now is a light green with white and black. Some colors that go together are blue, green, and white; hot pink, black, and white; green, pink, and black; and so many other colors. If you want, I have some HEX codes (i.e- #ffffff for white) and I can give you more combinations for column colors. Check out this site for colors: http://visibone.com/colorlab.

i know this is probly stupid, but i dont know what emo means. everyone always says it and all, but i dont know what it means. does anyone know what it means? i rate high!!

Emo basically means emotional. There is punk music that is considered emo and it means that this type of music is talking about emotional feelings such has love, heart break, loving someone, etc. Then there is emo for people; it basically means that someone is very emotional and such. Remember, EMO=EMOtional.

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to lose a few pounds and maybe an inch off my stomach or just tighten it up. I was just wondering if doing 100 crunches a day, drinking water or flavored water with no calories,carbs etc..and running at least a mile each day will show results within 20 days or so. I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks guys!

Yes, you are on the right track which will lead to great results! With your "plan" that you've mentioned, is great and it will help you lose a few pounds and inches off of your stomach. Don't forget to eat healthy because that's the important thing when wanting to lose weight.

im going to be tutoring a 5 year old this summer. Does anyone know of any web sites that have activites that will help her? Thanks!

My sister is 5 years old and I'm supposed to be "teaching" her things for kindergarten but instead of doing that, she has those Jump Start computer games that teach kids and there are CDs for each grade. There are different types of games on each CD and this 5 year old girl that you will be tutoring will learn something when playing these games. There are other brands similar to Jump Start but I recommend getting that. Wouldn't the Disney Channel's website have any activities? Check that out because I think they do.

Welcome to Advicenators! This happens to other columnists too so don't worry. You need to get rid of the other picture before you upload a new one. Just erase the link, click Submit then go back and add a new picture and it should work.

Well, i was wondering. It's dumb. And gross. Whats cum??

Cum is the white liquid that comes out of a guy's penis or a girl's vagina when they get sexually aroused. Cum contains sperm, which gets a girl pregnant. This isn't dumb at all. Also, semen is the same as cum.

Is there anyway to get bigger boobs besides breast implants? I'm 14, and have no boobs what-so-ever. Please don't tell me to wait. Im desperate here.

There really isn't any way to get bigger breasts at your age. Drinking milk somehow helps but I don't think it does. I've heard that if you do some type of exercises that targets your chest and your breast muscles, that you will make them bigger. But really, there isn't any way to get bigger breasts, you just have to wait.

ok..i really like this guy ...he is perfect..but the only problem is that he is in 7th grade and im in 8th should that stop me from liking him?
-confused

No, just because he is in a grade below you, that shouldn't stop you from liking him. Seniors in high school sometimes don't freshman and that's even a bigger difference. Don't worry about the grade difference.

is prude when you havn't made out with someone or is it when you havn't kissed someone?

Yes, prude basically means that you haven't made out with anyone or kissed someone. When someone asks you if they can kiss you and you say no because of some reason, that's considered prude.

Hi im vanessa. im 14 years old and i am in 8th grade in ohio. My qwestion is that i dont really have any frends in my school. school will be over in 3 monthes so im kinda happy. all my friends go to the other school acadamies so i see them on the weekends. i dread going to school without friends. sicne the year is almost over should i just try to get through it? i will be seeing my other friends from the other school in my secondary school (highschool) so i am excited. Help?

Yes, you should try to go through it, since there is about 3 months left of school. You should definitely try to make some friends so the school year will even go by faster. Start talking to people in the halls and just be social. You can still see your other friends with the year is over but it would be better if you made friends.

this guys keeps calling me prude. i just dont want to waste my first kiss on someone i dont care about. do you think i should just kiss someone and get it over with or just keep waiting for the perfect moment and the perfect guy. i am 14 years old. please help.

You should keep waiting for the perfect moment and the perfect guy when it comes to your first kiss. Your first kiss is something that you will always remember and you don't want to kiss someone just to get it over with. If you want, then you can, no one is stopping you. You're only 14, there are going to be so many other chances to kiss a guy so don't worry.

You can find some cute bedsets at department stores such as Filene's, JcPenny, Kohls, and stores like that. Pottery Barn has a lot of cute sets and I recommend that you check out that store.

if 2 people who are virgins have sex, is it still possible for an std to be transmitted?

If one of them already has one, then yes, it's possible for an STD to be transmitted but if they are both clean, then it's not possible.

is it true that you cant use tampons until you had your period for a year?

No, that's not true. Most people say that you should wear pads for the first few months of having your period so you can get used to it but it's not true that you can't use tampons until you had your period for a year.

Hey, I believe in God and pray to him a ot when I need help. I don't go to church though, but I still believe. Is it bad I don't go to church?? Am I gonna go to Hell????

Nope, you won't go to Hell if you don't go to church. As you long as you believe in God, then he will understand. Going to church is just a way to learn more about your religion, that's all.
