advice

Well, i go too high school. At high school we have populars and well geeks and i really, really hate this! No one has the right to tell you who you are or name you.
Populars think they can boss me about for example 'get out of this room', 'go away, you can't hang around here'. Am really fed up i just want to answer back but then everyone will hate me, and my friends are scared because they don't want to be hated, and everyone eles sucks up to them.
i would really like to know how can i stuck up for my self without being hated by people.

Just tell them you have the right to anything and everything else like they do. They'll feel threatened but once they see that you don't stand around for that bullshit they'll end up respecting you for it.

I know that sounds so stupid, like something you'd see in a tv show but that was what my first weeks of highschool were like and once they saw I didn't tolerate that shit they backed off.

Good Luck.
Just walk with your head held high.
Confidence is Key :)

okay well I need very good advice on this quesitons so please try to understand my situation. Okay, well my pretty good friend is going out with this guy. I use to like him when I was around 9 but now I'm 14 & he's 15.. Well, they have been going out for about 2-3 weeks now. Well, me & him started talking through aim and stuff & I ened up telling him how I crushed on him before. A day later he tells me he "thinks" he likes me. So we talked,talked,talked blah & blah. Then he called me once & we stared talking for a long time & we finally got to know each other & figured out we have A LOT in common. & we were talking like a "couple" even though they are going out. But don't think I'm a man stealer or anything. He told me wayyyy before he even liked me that he was thinking of breaking up with her but doesnt know how. He tells me how she's like freaky taking about how she did "stuff" before & we all know thats a lie.I mean she's my friend & all but she's also been known to be a fakie. Anyways he's at some thing or whatever in Kentucy or whatever. & since his "girlfriend" is my friend she's been telling me how she really really misses him & how he's not calling while all this time me & him have been talking to like 3 in the morning & texting the whole day. This has been going on for about a week now. So I Guess what I need advice on is your opinion about the situation. Also, I dont know what I'm going through becasue i never felt like this before. He's been very nice to me telling me he loves me & stuff[ I know you cant love someone that soon but its out thing if you know what I mean]. So I'm wondering what is this I'm feeling becasue I'm like checking my phone every damn second to see if he called or if i acidentally missed the call or something. Uhh i'm so confused. He's like you know we could make such a cute couple & I really want to go out with you after I slowly settle things down with "her". Bit I told him is it right to do this to her becasue It's a chick thing & she's my friend would she hate me?I really need advice & help on what you think this phase is. He calls me his babe & how he just wants me by his side & such adorible stuff. Please don't tell me how would you feel if you were her becasue first I'm not her & he feels different about me then he does with her. So please please people give me advice on what to do and what I'm feeling. & should I go out with him?

I was in your situation, but I was very luck to have a forgiving friend. Just be honest with her and tell him that if he wants to be with you, then he'll have to end things with her.

Of course she'll be upset -every girl would.
But I'd suggest you just back off from him for a while and just let him now what your feeling, and don't hide the txts and calls from your friend because eventually she will find out and it won't end well.

BASICALLY: Be honest with yourself, your friend and him.

okay so this is really important!
im not used to guys liking me
im 16 and never been on a date or kissed or anything
so this guy on myspace that lives about 20 minutes away from me added me and he didnt talk to me for like a month but he did about 40 minuts ago and we were talking and now he wants to go to a movie with me. i think hes cute, but i dont know him so im not sure if i like him. and hes 5'6 and im 5'9 and im not height shallow i just like the idea of dating a guy whos my hight but i think thats the least of my worries. my parents would freak if they thought that i was gonna go hang w/ a guy i dont know. my best friends said that they wouldnt let me go alone, just incase something happens, i dont think hes a dirty old man, but you can never be too careful. i dont want to say no and him think im not interested b/c i am, im just scared b/c things like this dont happen to girls like me. i really want some advice on this, i have no idea what to do. sorry this was so long but im like freaking out here!

Just be honest with him. Say that you wouldn't feel comfortable to be alone with him without some friends because you don't know him. If he gets pissed off at that then you know hes not the one for you :)

Don't be pressured. If you don't feel comfortable and your gut says no, then dont.
But never go alone.

ok so me and this girl were bffs last year we had this huge fight last summer about this guy who we were both in love with!
we hated each other for a long time but recently started hanging out again and became friends just like we were before! well i started hangin out with the guy we had fought over before and started to like him ALOT again. suddenly she likes him again too. i dont know what to do im trying to just not like him anymore cus i dont want to lose her as a friend but i cant let him go!
we are starting to fight over him alot now and i need help i cant lose my bff again but i cant let go of the guy!

It sounds like a situation where you need to decide what you really want to keep and what you can let go.

"Guys come and go, but friends are forever"

If you really can't let go of him then just try not to talk about him infront of her, or if she brings him up then just let her talk and stay out of it cause thats how fights start.

Eventually those feelings will fade if nothing happenes between you and him.

Good luck. Its a tough situation

i dont really pay attention to ratings because i just started but i gave someone a detailed answer and he gave me a 3. its not so much his rating its his comment:
Thank you for your answer. I would give you a 4 but you didn't capitalize. Otherwise it was a good answer.
what does capitalizing have to do with anything?

I don't think puncuation and stuff should have anything to do with a response. It shouldn't be about how the answer looks but the quality of the answer.

Personally, I think it's easier to read with proper puncation, spelling etc but thats just me. Without it I just find myself reading the answer over and over again until I fully understand the response.

Everyone is different though.

I always see people making like little music videos and they put a whole bunch of clips together and lip sych the words and add the song on and it looks like they're really singing.

How can you do that? Like how do you add the clips together and take off the sound and add the song?

What kind of program do I need to use?
Thanks!

You'd have to pre-plan what you are doing and what you'll be "singing" in those parts.
So once to video the different shots you can put it all together, mute the original sound and add in the song that you're lip-synching too.

Windows Movie maker is a very easy tool to use.
Simply use that and if you have any questions click the help button in it. It's not hard at all :D

I'm not sure what's wrong with me, and wheather it's paranoia, or OCD, or something else. This is really hard to explain but i'll try my best.

In my head while i'm doing something, i'll make like, a 'bet' with myself. Like I have to do something or else i'll die. It's about really stupid thing, too, but it's just become a habit ie: You have to fast forward through the opening credits of this tv show, otherwise you'll die. I found a way to kind of 'derail' it, by instead of saying,"Otherwise you'll die," saying something like, "otherwise beyonce will gain a pound," But now saying that has because an obsession. I used to do something kind of like that, but with music videos on MTV. And whatever music video I saw last before I went to bed I thought would be a representation of the next day. Sometimes I would stay up for an extra hour because I was so paranoid that if i saw a video like, 'It end tonight' I would die. I've developed this stupid habit of looking at the clock and creatingf math problems. If it were 1:01 i'd say to myself, "Addition," and "Subtraction,"(because one plus one is zero and same goes for minusing). I'd also do things like that for multiplication and division. And it's become obsessive. Like every time I look at the clock I HAVE to name a math problem, or else somthing bad will happen.

Lastly, I have this nervous tick where i'll count out the sylables to everything on my hand really quickly. And for some reason it has to either be ten or five sylables. And since th phrase,"otherwise beyonce will gain a pound," is ten slables, i find myself almost always involintarily counting out sylables.

(I don't have an obsessionover beyonce, or anything, I just said it once and it stuck)

What on earth is wrong with me? And what can I do to just be NORMAL? Please help me

I am no doctor by any means but it just sounds like you need a day or a night off just to relax and not let anything run through your mind.

Realize that if "something" doesn't happen, your not going to die, or nothing bad will happen. Just relax.

Im not much help I know.
Try taking on an art project or poetry to distract you.

I don't think your "obsessions" are harmful to you so I wouldn't be too worried. Its just a case of letting go of some things.

Everyone has their own little "crazed obsessions" its normal. :)

Ok here's the deal...all of my friends are busy this summer so I have no one to hang out with...I'm really bored and have nothing to do and nowhere to go...I can't drive yet...so there's nowhere to go...does anyone have any ideas on how to make this summer the best one ever?

I know how you feel. Usually all my friends leave me over the summer and I never see them to school starts. It really sucks but why not volunteer your time somewhere.

You might meet some new friends :)

Last summer (I know its lame) I volunteered at my local library and learn't a lot and met a lot of new people.

Good luck!

my friend and i have the exact same taste in guys but i don't no what to do, i mean i have confronted her about it but she doesn't know what to do either. We both like this adorable guy but who should get him?? HELP PLEASE!?!

Who should get him? I don't know, whoever he's attracted to I guess.

But maybe trying doing some activities apart from your bff. By joining different clubs you'll meet completely different boys--that way you don't have the same prediciament.

Good Luck

well i know this is gonna sound stupid but anyway... whenever me and my bf get together, we look at each others cell phones to see who the other person has been calling/texting. (we dont actually admit thats what we're doing, but thats what we do). well yesterday we got into a fight over it. he got mad because these 2 guys had been texting me. ok now these 2 guys are really nerdy and theres no way i'd ever like them, and my bf knows that. so it was stupid for him to get mad. on the other hand, my bf had made all these calls to this one girl amanda. amanda is really pretty and shes also a big slut, so that made me really mad!! he said he was just prank calling her, but whatever. he said i have no right to be mad at him for calling girls, when i text other guys. well, i guess... but there's a difference here, right? the guys i texted are harmless, but the girl he called is anything but. plus those guys texted me first and i just answered to be nice, whereas my bf is the one who called amanda first. am i wrong to be mad about this?

sounds exactly how he feels about you txting other guys. To YOU they may be harmless but to him he may think otherwise, just like you think that girl is "dangerous" he may not think that way.

Just talk to him about it, calm and rational.

I heard somewhere that Marilyn Manson was planning on using some subliminal techniques in his upcoming movie.Could someone give me a website or something that explains what effect this has on people (or explain yourself,if you can),and point me to some movies that have already done it?

Some of my friends did Subliminal Stuff for science fair one year. I dont know much about it but it looks like people have got it covered, but you'd be surprised about what movies use them.

In the first Lion King (I believe) the scene where one of the lions is on the cliff and theres like dandelion seeds blowing around, well if you pause it the seeds spell out "Sex"

Then in Aladdin, there is a part where when the magic carpet talks or whatever, if you rewind what he says it says: "Good little children take off your clothes" Or something like that.

It sounds pretty insane but its true!

Ok well you know how girls just get out of th shower, then style their hair and then wear their clothes?

Why do they do that? When you put your dress on after you finished, wouldn't your hair be reuined?

When i dress after i do my hair, it gets a staticy and ruined.

How long would this probably have taken to do this hair?

http://www.beinggirl.com/en_US/pages/funzone_hairtips.jsp

I guess it just depends on the routine people get into. I always wear my hair straight so It doesnt bother me putting my clothes on after.

Comfort level I guess.
Maybe some people don't want to get product/styler burns on their clothes?

To be honest I don't really know. LOL

ok i like this guy, and i want him to sign my yearbook. we dont have any classes together so i dont ever get a chance to talk to him, but we used to be realy close friends, and flirt alot, but how do i get him to sign it lol thhhxx

Just go right up to him and ask :)
Get a bunch of friends to go around and get their yearbooks signed with you so then it won't feel so random when you ask him. If his friends are with him get his friends to sign to!

Good luck, I know how nerve wrecking it could be.

I start the class part of drivers ed tomorrow. I am homeschooled, and will be going with public school kids. Basically the kids I would be going to school with. I went with them until 2 years ago, I still keep in touch with everybody, but all the ones that I know have already taken it or won't be taking it the week I will. I'm super nervous. I know I won't know anybody, and I'm super shy and self-concious.

How many kids are usually in those classes?
What do they do on the first day?
What will it be like?

Thanks.

The class size is usually the size of a regular school classroom (this will vary for different schools) I'm in it right now and my class has anywhere from 15-25 students.

Every class is different, every teacher teaches differently. On your first day you'll probably spend more time learning about your teacher and classroom expectations, then you'll get right into it.

Drivers Ed is an independant class so you don't have to worry about having to know someone for partners or anything like that.

You have nothing to be nervous about. Just walk in there like you own the place :D

ok so how do u like get rid of the words to the song you like, then put your own voice singing the lyrics in it? and then how do u burn a CD of yourself singing it?

You'd want to find the instrumental verson to the song you want then record yourself singing into your microphone on your computer and stuff. :)

i would really like to do a total body makeover by toning up amd eating right. but i just can't help myself. I have a tendency to just keep snacking. And i can never really get in the habit of working out everyday. I'm buying my own food, but i'll wnader into the kitchen and and just grab something. i'm defiantely not fat, but i really want to get into a health kick. how can i stop myslef from snacking all the time,and how get i get myself into a habit of regularly working out?? does anybody have any tips,or plans that i can follow? please help..
thanks in advance.

To get in the habit of exersizing, maybe post some posters of exersizes you can do, so that way everytime you look at them you'll think: "GOTTA EXERSIZE!"

For the eating issue, don't have a lot of junk food in the house. Keep all the food healthy and simple. If you don't have any junk in the house, you won't be tempted to eat it.

Good luck!

ugh! so my parents like found out that my school is
doing a "fundraiser" for poor kids & to donate like
random crap like school supplies. well they filled up a
whole fricken bag of CRAP and they expect me to
carry it to school and SORT EVERYTHING OUT
before homeroom (when i only have like 5 minutes to
unpack ANYWAY) to "help the poor." um. well i dont
want to do it. and i have no idea what to do. DO NOT
bother suggesting, "well you'll help the poor." i already
tried telling them that it's too much shit that i have to
fricken carry & they are like ohh whatever. and i'm not
happy. cause i don't wanna be like the only fricken
person standing there, SORTING OUT by supply like
rulers, colored pencils, etc a WHOLE barnes &
noble back of CRAP.

dont suggest
'forgetting' the bag either. my parents will 'remind'
me before i leave

PLEASE ADVICE?!

How about asking if you can take everything at little bit at a time. Like sort it out at home then take each sortment one day at a time :)

Sounds to me you just dont want to stand out by having a bunch of things, but you shouldn't worry. People might actually think its cool that if one person can bring a bunch of stuff then they'll see it as approval to do the same :)
