In your opinion (meaning that if you tell me what you think you'll get a 5), do you think that people should miss out on church in order to do yardwork, study for an exam, play in a soccer tournament, etc? I just want to know what qualifies as an acceptable excuse for not going to church. What other good reasons are there for missing church? -no I'm not trying to avoid going to church-
Thanks!
I'm not good enough to follow this rule, but God says Sunday is a day of rest. So, you aren't supposed to even work (homework, yardwork, anything).

This is long...sorry...but if you read this and answer I promise to rate you a 5 and I will be so greatful! thanks in advance for reading this. I have this friend named nicole (fake name) and she has been my best friend for about 2 years. She gets really annoying and is pretty stupid, and my family doesn't like her very much. She doesn't have a lot of money and her parents are completely uninvolved in her life. My parents do everything for her and we get nothing in return. She never really does anything to show she appreciates it and I really don't like that and neither does my family. So recently she's been pretty rude to me. She ditched me twice. At lunch I sit with nicole and kelly (fake also) and 3 other girls who im kinda barely friends with but mostly I only talk to nicole and kelly. well kelly is "popular" all of a sudden to nicole but no one really likes her...and no one really likes nicole because she's so annoying. I know nicole doesn't care about popularity because if she did she wouldn't be so weird and act so nerdy. We're not popular but we're not geeks, I guess we are known as just normal group, except to the geeks we are known as popluar, so i've heard. Well nicole has just been obsessed with kelly and she blows me off or is too busy to hang out with me but not kelly. I have many friends in school, like a ton, but I usually only hang out with friends once every week or maybe even less then that. I only really hang out with nicole. But shes always so busy and always grounded so I kind of have no friends outside of school. I make an effort to hang out with other girls I know at my school but it never really works out, not that they don't like me just our plans don't really follow through. Sorry I'm writing a lot but I wanted you all to understand the background of my question. So here it is...Today nicole got mad at me and I had no idea why and so her and kelly totally ditched me at lunch and sat with someone else and I asked kelly is she mad at me she said no there was no room at the table...when there were plenty. I am so mad at nicole I seriously was about to punch her because suspension was worth punching her. She totally takes advantage of me and I keep going back to be her friend. My parents and bother think I should stop being her friend and there a feeling in me that I want to but then there's also a feeling that's not willing to give her up. The main reason I don't stop being her friend is if I do then kelly wont be my friend and I'll have no one to sit with at lunch and no one to talk to during class because most people in all my classes are popular or totally nerdy and all that stuff. But today seemed like the last straw and I don't want to be her friend but I'm afraid of what will happen. I'm hoping once I start high school I'll make new friends and totally ditch her for good, but thats about 6 months away and I don't want to go with nobody to hang out with during summer if I stop being her friend. I really love her and shes so funny and fun to be around. If I didn't love her, I would hate her and think she is the stupidest person ever, and I would never consider being her friend, if you know what I mean. I love that she doesn't care what others think, but sometimes I hate it because she is truly embarassng and since not a lot of people like her, I think that's why nobody ever calls me to hang out because they probably think I'm just like her. Basically I want to know all of your opinions about what I should do. Stay her friend, ditch her, wait a little longer, etc? Please help I have no idea what to do!!! I will rate you 5 if you answer no matter if I like your answer or not, just because you read all this. By the way, im 14 female. thanks so much!
Wow! That was pretty extensive, but at least you got all of the facts in.
I have a situation similar to yours. My friend was never blatantly mean to me, but he did avoid me and for no reason at all. It took me a year and a half of barely hanging out with him to finally quit caring. We were really good friends, and I like the person he used to be.
That's what you need to understand about your friend. You put a hell of a lot of effort into her, and now she's ditching you. She'll continue to do this over and over, hurting you again and again if you don't break it off. Trust me, getting stopping things now will save you a lot of trouble later.
Also, it sounds like everyone in your family has already given you their opinion and I'd say you already know what you need to do, but you're hesitant to do it. Letting go of a friend you've had forever is never easy.
Try to sit at another table, and you'll be able to make some friends by the end of the year. You've still got MONTHS to go. Another thing you should know, it things change dramatically in ninth and tenth grade. Most cliques break up and people become people. They grow up and quit caring what people think as much.
You just have to decide if you want to choose to use your non friend to get close to Kelly, causing you stress and emotional confusion throughout the entire summer, or make some new friends who will treat you the way you deserve.
Pretty easy decision. I know you'll make the right choice.
Btw, paragraphs would make it easier to read next time. :)
Good luck!

it says in the bunnyhero labs if you have free webs you can put it on your web but my computer it wont let me! how do I get it to?
If you want to put it on your web because you have free webs with bunny hero labs, you'll need to get totally wasted at the ice-cream daycare, and then get nasty with the head cheer leader using a beer bottle and a switchblade.

This past summer me and this guy on my swim team had this "thing", we both liked eachother but wouldnt admit it. We hang out at every meet and (hes shy and doesnt really talk to anyone but me and a few other guys) everyone on the team told me they thought he liked me becuase i was the only girl he was nice to and actually talked to. Anyways the problem is I only see him in the summer, he lives like 10 minutes from me but we go to different schools. And ever since summer ended I cant help but keep thinking of him constantly and I still like him a lot. Is there something wrong with me to hold on to something that never really happened? And how can i get over him?
Nahhh! Nothin's wrong with you. You just have a crush.
Here's what I think you should do. You ought to go out with some friends (movies or something) and ask him to come along. Tell him to bring a few friends and make sure you schedule it a week or so in advance. That way you can see meet up with him and it won't be too awkward.

Soreness of the Breasts Possible
Enlargement of the Breasts Possible
Increased Urination Possible
Strange Cravings Possible

I think it would be best to tell him so that way he can get you a home pregnancy test and you can be sure.
I wouldn't worry too much about telling him. If you are pregnant, he'll know soon enough and have to go to school knowing either way. Hopefully knowing would give him a reason to 'stay' in school.
The abortion agencies are TERRIBLE. Planned parenthood will pay for your abortion, but if you want to keep your baby, they won't give you any financial help, but will ask you over and over to abort.
Here's a link from someone who used to be an abortionist, talking about the evils of the agency.

I am a single girl in her twenties and joined a ToastMasters Club back in September. I joined the club to help with my speaking skills and self esteem, and also to meet some nice single guys. Well to my disapointment I didnt meet any nice single guys, but I did meet two really nice married ones. They are both the nicest guys, and treat me with respect. The one has 3 boys, and the other guys as far as I know doesnt have any kids. I find myself going to these meetings sometimes just to see these two men. I don't want to have an affair with either of them, or replace their wifes. I just like going because of the way they make me feel. I've had problems with men in the past. My question is am i commititting a sin by liking these guys? I would also like to add that I don't fantasize or lust about them, I just wish that I could be there friends.
Liking theme or thinking about them isn't wrong, but you do need to be careful.
If you want to be their friend, I'd suggest not hanging out then them alone, just to take care of any accusations that come would come your way.
Just never forget they're married and you're fine. :)

I am in so much emotional pain right now it could kill a cow!
I was basicly raped
I have lost everything
im not in school
everything is just going down the drain and I hate it!
What can I do to make this stop and have me be happpppy once in my life i just want to be happy
Kill the cow.
Getting raped is always unfortunate. I have a friend, she has been raped by 7 different people at different times and I realize it can be hard to cope with.
You say you lost everything. Do you have your family? any friends? Self respect? These are the first things you need to look to or restore. If you're religious, you can look to your God.
You should really get back in school. It will help with money problems and allow you to meet people.
It sounds like you have a real reason to be depressed, but there are many bumps in the road, and most people get extremely depressed about 2 times in thier life (on average). Once you get out, you realize why life is really so great.
Good luck.
Write if you need anything.

I think I have social anxiety disorder. I want to get tested for it, so I was wondering what kind of procedure they do to test you for it?
They make you appear on stage in just your bathing suit, and then they tar and feather you. If you scream, you have a disorder.
I'm just kidding. They'd just sit you down in a room with a comfortable atmosphere and interview you one on one. They'd ask about what type of situations make you nervous, and how often you find yourself in those situations.
After that, they'd work with you on methods that would help you to get past your anxieties and be more outgoing.
Good luck.

It's normal. Some have big, some have small. There are many websites showing only girls with big nipples.
I wouldn't worry about it.

I really want to find the right guy
Here's a 17 year old's answer.
1.)Don't dress slutty.
2.)Don't use too much eye shadow.
3.)Don't have strange piercings.
All three will make you look like someone who's out for sex, or 'naughty.'
Other than that, be 'nice.' Good guys like nice girls. It might take many tries, but the right one will come along soon enough.
Also, date some nerds. Date the innocent ones who want a real relationship.

Is social anxiety passed down genetically. My grandma has it and I think I may have it too. Would my chances be more if my grandma has it but my parents dont that I have it?
Anxiety can defiantly be passed down. And yes, it could have affected your Grandma, neither of your parents, and then you. There's no way to know for sure if yours is genetic, but yes, it is possible.
There are many ways to get past it without meds though. I wouldn't encourage them unless it's a last resort.

Well, because someone has already given you your answer, I will give you another bit of advice.
Download Trillian.
I use it. It's amazing, and it seems AOL copies it's ideas whenever it updates, so Trillian is one step ahead.

there is this girl that i realy like
(she is in 8th grade and i am in 7th)
the only problem is that our parents are going out... what should i do?
Jesus, divorced parents who date while they have kids are so selfish! It causes a lot of problems.
You aren't related by blood, so I'd say as long as your mom's relationship isn't serious, do it.
You might want to be safe and wait though.

recently, ive been cutting. i cut because i have so much emotional pain, it relieves me when i cut. it makes me forget all about my emotional pain because i focus on the physical pain. well, just this morning, i found myself thinking of suicide. this afternoon during health class too. We were talking about cutting in health class today and i just wanted to die. i was so uncomfortable. only 2 people knew about me cutting in my health class besides me but i still wanted to die. I dont have a boyfriend. I dont think im pretty enough to. My life is fucked up. no one cares about me. my parents are never home and when they are, they just yell at me. They always fight too. But the thing is, i wouldnt trade my life for anybody elses. its the way that i know life. I wouldnt trade it. and im serious. I wore a belly shirt to school a few days ago. Bad choice. some people saw my cut i made on my stomach and they said stuff to me. No one understands me. They think that i have the ideal life and they even tell me that. i dont. every one thinks i am perfect (or have to be) becuase my dad is a pastor of a small hick church... which i hate. I dont believe that shit. w/e. i wanted to stop cutting until today. i did it again today. its just a bad habit. any suggestions? anything anyone wants to say to me?? yes i have contemplated suicide. several times.
It sounds like you are going through a hard time, but times pass. When you get out of a depression you are able to realise (sometimes for the first time), how great life really is.
Now,
Have you ever tried telling your parents about your suicidal thoughts? How about showing them your cuts.
You could always tell a teacher or school counselor how you feel, and by law they have to get you help.
Medicine can help too if you need it. I'm on meds. I've heard Welbutrin works wonders for depression and has positive sexual side effects.
Good Luck

I'm a guy, and junior in high school. I am constantly worried about everything in my life. For instance what I'm going to wear, is my dad mad at me, am I depressed, what my grades are, is my mom alive, just everything like that, even if my friends are mad at me. I worry about everything it drives me nuts all of the time. And when I'm worried about that I can't concentrate on the important things like grades, am I doing the right thing in life, and just crap like that. I told my mom I worry too much and I even worry about her grown up things like who is going to buy my car does she have enough money in the bank. I need some help hear what do I do?
Hmmm, if it's bothering you that much you might want to go see a professional to see if you have GAD (General Anxiety Disorder).
Hope you can solve your problem.

I Have been feeling depressed for almost a year now, and I have read nearly all the articles posted about depression, but none of them really help me. I took the first step of talking to a trusted adult, who was one of my former teachers. She tried to help me by calling my mom and referring me to different counselors. But this made my mom very angry. My mom refuses to let me see a counselor, and she is not allowing me to have contact with my teacher either. I don't understand why, but I think it's because my mom feels like I am placing blame on her for my issues. Now I feel so alone because I have no one to talk to. I want to call my teacher, but my mom would be very angry if she found out. What else is there left for me to do if counseling is not an option? I fear I will keep getting more and more depressed like I have been. Please respond to my question, I really need your help!
Taking walks helps cure depression.
I guess you could always make your problem sound worse than it is.
You could also refuse to talk to her until she brings you to a counselor.
I've been there, it sucks. Just remember when you get out of depression, you remember why you love life so much.

I am fat and I do not know how to lose weight!
Whenever I put myself on a diet or try to watch what i eat, i always just end up eating like a pig! i cannot help myself!
what do i do?
The trick is to NOT HAVE JUNK FOOD AROUND THE HOUSE. :) I can't stress that enough. I have a bucket of ice cream in my freezer and it sucks.
Anyway, energy in, energy out. Many people don't believe in diets because it's impossible to stay on them forever. You just have to work off what you heat. Every day.
ORR allow yourself one day a week to eat as much junk as you want. Always make it the same day, and never cheat, even if it's a birthday or Easter, ect. If you added up all of the days that are 'special diet cheat days' you'd be surprised.

Ok, well our school is doing this trip to Europe for next summer, and I REALLY want to go, but my mom says I can't unless I raise the money myself. I don't know how I'm going to get the money, cause it's a really expensive trip, but I really want to go. Anyone got any ideas on how I can raise the money? And I'm too young to get a job anywhere... Please help! Thanks!
Paint curbs. You can make an ASSLOAD of money doing that.
