i REALLY want to be able to talk in a british accent. haha
i'm catching on to it kind of.
i can only say some words, but i think when i talk in sentances, it wounds more like elegant talk than an actual accent.
are there any free websites or videos or advice that you guys can give me on acquiring one?!
please and thank you!
hurry also haha. i can't wait to start.
Hey im from england so i guess i could give you a helping hand?Erm i think i have my fbook or summthyn on my page thing. so clock on it and get my msn thing from there n i cud help you over that =)Vikkix
So i was in cheerleading about 5 or 6 years ago. But it wasnt anything serious. And all my friends are getting into Dance and stuff. Butt im not into that, becuase i wanna be a cheerleader. :) but for one, i dont think any of my friends would take me seriously with it. and two, i would feel so retarded getting onto a team because im in eighth grade. and we dont have a cheer team. and id feel so outta place if i got on some team with "experienced" girls. and i cant really cheer. i pick up on things fast.. but i dont know..
HELP????
Hey um why be soo shy for =) if you wanna be a cheerleader you gotoa get rid of the i-care-what-every-one-thinks thing (no offence)
im a UK cheerleader myself and my mates were like this... they didnt take me siriously - buh yknw what? who cares you gotta follow your heart and not your friends =).
Um im not to sure what eighth grade is equivalent to over her in the UK, buh im 15 (soon to be 16) old... i started cheering when i was 14. and please, these exprienced girls? they started off unexpirience, and hey you not totally new to it if youve already been cheerleading before.
Now im sure you'll do fine so go get on that cheer squad! =D let me know who it goes.
Good luck,

im a captain to an all stars team and i dont know how to get them to listen and then get them to understand your squde is like a family and theres no i in team please give me help or advive on wat to do im soo lost!
i totally agree with the 2 other answers totally.me being me though i think i would throw a stunt up (more if your confident your teamates wont drop your flyer)and say things like " what would happen if [things that would cause your flyer to fall]"and go on to say how the bases spotters and flyers are all one team, without all of the stunt components you dont really have a team (well ecluding spotters but then agen you wont need spotters really when your team becomes a family =) )throw up all kinds of different stunts - with differentr bases and flyers each time. try pairing people up and do some drills like sit ups and see who can do the most etc etc (be creative! =D)Get your coach to give a few hints when your practicing routines.Dont be too mean to them - or they might never listen to you! pay them compliments and such and such.Good Luck and let me know how your pep talks n stuffs go =)xXx
Iam sorry iam giving you my whole life history but I don't have anybody to talk to and I need somebody to talk to. I hope you don't mind.
my life started being a living hell when my daddy molested me when I was 3 and then when I told my mom my mom left my dad a week before I turned 4 and up until I was 8 years old I wasn't allowed to see my dad at all by mom's rules and i know my mom was just trying to protect me but it just hurts when you think about stuff like that all the time and you have nobody to talk to about it becouse nobody other than your mom belives you and when you try to talk to your mom about your feelings she get's all upset and starts crying so you don't talk to her about it becouse you don't want to upset your mom anymore and then you don't feel loved becouse nobody wants to listen about my feelings. Things got a little better after I had turned 8 years old becouse then I was allowed to see my dad with supervision and that was better than not being able to see him at all. Then when I turned 12 my dad died from smoking and it tramatized me. I just couldn't handle it I cried myselft to sleep every night. I don't know why I still love and miss my daddy after what he did to me he was a total bastart but I still wish he could be in my life but he can't. Then when my dad died I started going to my dad's side of the family that I never hardly got to see and I got to do so much more at there house on the weekends and holidays than I did when I was at my mom's during the week and when I was over there I felt like was being treated like a normal teenage girl but when I was at my mom's house during the week and at the age of 16 I started getting into boys like the other teenage girls my mom wouldn't let me so much as talk to a boy on the phone without her bein on the other end but when I was at my Aunt's and cousins house I got to do the stuff that my mom wouldn't let me do. Iam 19 now and I actually have a dating life becouse I live with my cousin but I still can't talk to my mom about my dating life and it makes me feel sad.
what should I do?
To be honest... i think you should tell her everything youve just told us. write it down maybe?
and well done for letting it out like that, that must have been hard to type and even harder to actually go through, well done.
Your mum has got to face that your growing up, its a fact that all mums will have trouble grasping this. They always want their baby girl. Your not a kid anymore your 19! the fact that this stuff is haunting you and depressing you aitn good, you siriously need to tell your mum if its to stop it depressing you!
if not tell her, hint to her, or tell her bit by bit, subtlty can work out to be good, less of a "Oh-my-gosh" moment
(Sorry about the english spelling (ie mum) english chick y'see =) )
but good luck to you, and well done =)

okay so i decided im gonna get my abs looking great =)
i know alot of things i can do but how often should i do them and for how long? i basically need a plan.
does anyone here have a good ab workout plan that works really good for them?
thank youu.
SIt Ups... Lots Of Them Every Day!
Vsits Tuu Will Help As Much
And Obviously Less Of The Sugary/Fatty Foods
Start Off You Plan As A Light workout
As Soon As You Get Accustomed To this.. Make It more Challengine Ie More Sit Ups..
Try To Make Your Workout Fit Into A Pattern Ie. Have It Around The Same Time Each Day. Ie After School/Work, In The Morning, Or BEfore Bed
Sorry About All the Capitals - Habit...
Good Luck!

heyy, advicenators :)
i have a whiteboard 11" x 14" & i want to make it like a calendar whiteboard, like this:
http://www.flex-a-chart.com/1M4832.htm
but without the message space on the right side. so, this is for school to mark up important dates, and i wanted to know how to do it.
now, i know you might be thinking "just draw black lines vertically & horizontally" but the thing is, the boxes are going to be kinda small and so when i go to write in it, the lines might smudge and it'll look reallyyy messy. and when i go from month to month, i'll have to erase the WHOLE thing (otherwise i'll have to erase every single little number!) and then redraw all the lines.
does anyone have any other ideas? i was thinking of using string to divide the white board, or like construction paper. what do you think would be the easiest for when i have to erase the whole white board when i switch months? i'd PREFER not to use permanent marker cause i don't want to permanently leave my whiteboard like that -- just during the schoolyear.
also, i can't really find whiteboard calendars like the one above for cheap. that's why i was thinking of converting my plain whiteboard into one that can be used as a monthly calendar.
or, does anyone have any other ideas in order to track my assignments, tests, & projects? i used to make a table like "date, subject, assignment" and have three columns but i'm a visual person and those never really cut it.
ideas so far:
- string? (but won't the strings get looser and looser as i keep erasing from month to month?)
- construction paper? (will they rip?)
thank you!

It Looks PRetty Too =D
how can i learn how to dance online?
is there any online website i can go to to learn it STEP BY STEP, more preferably while watching a video?
youtube doesnt help me but if there is a user you would recommend, please doo
I REALLLY WAANNNT TO LEARN HOW TO DANCE
I HAVE A PASSSSSSSSIIIOONN for it...
also if you recomeend me taking dance lessons at a studio i cant i dont have money but WOULDNT THAT BE GREAT TO LEARN IT IN PERSON?
Yeah Youtube Aint Great
But If You do decide to use it
Dont use that "expertvillage thing" for cheerelading and gymastics they teach wrong technique.
My Advice is to first get a few different genre songs... And count the beat to them (1 - 8) and make up your own dances for them. With a bit of inspiration from other ppls dance obviously. (to get you started.)
17/f
For like the past month I have not been sleeping well at all. I'm up most of the night having hot flashes and joint pains. It's getting difficult for me to function during the day because of my lack of sleep. Do you think this is just something that will pass or should I talk to my doctor about it?
To be honest im always flat ou knackerd from dancing every night in my room to not be tired. Which you could try if you want to.
Ive heard somewhere that milk is supossed to help you sleep.
For the hot flashes keep water by your beside at night.
Also for the joint pains.. try lay on a hard floor every now and then for abotu 15 mins. and generally dfrink water during the day (WATER HELP EVERYTHING =D)
Youcould give streching a try to, try a few lunges or sumthing (depending on what joint hurts)
If it keeps carrying on after you feel youve tried EVERYTHING yes i would suggest going to your doctor.
Good luck!
do guys get grossed out if we don't shave down there? guys please answer this question!!!!
I dont actually know...
As im not a guy...
But if you are goin to get rid of the hair down there
dont shave it... ya get stubble
Which is somewhat unattractive.
try waxing or hair removal cream
Sorry i couldnt TOTALLY answer...
best of luck though
Im fourteen, female.
I have a pool in my backyard and a few guy friends. And being a girl I cant ALWAYS go swimming.
Like, when that time of month comes around and if the boy across the street just happens to come over then I dont just want to tell him to go away. Im on my period. That would be awkward..
But Ive tried using a tampon but it just wont...GO IN! Urrrghh, its so frustrating. And Im not really willing to practice.
But someone told me quiite some time ago that 'it' stops underwater, which I hardly believe.
But do you have any suggestions?
I feel your pain.And ive heard that rumor too, and ive learnt from experience.. it aint true.Why dont you just sit by the pool.I mean if your also trying to imprss the guy especially... sit by the pool and kick/splash the water or sumthing =)seems like a very flirty technique.If you really want a get out of jail free card. Let him in but blame the fact you dont want to swin on-I dont want my hair wet-feeling slightly illBut I feel your pain about the tampon. I looked at myself with a mirror for a bit to like help understand where to put it... which helps... a bit i suposse.But if your a virgin ive been told you shud really use one.. as it hurts or sumthyn like that. But i wudnt know... as i havent actully got round to usin the damn thing lolanywaisBest of luckVikki
Hey Im back again editing my answer. Um LEtting you know, ive concered the fear of it lol, um yeah mirror=good help! Um the main thing is to relax you muscles down there - which i knwo is hard cuz ur tense down there as its the time of month ANYWAY, (which i guess makes being a girl better than being a boy - look at what we go through!) On your first time just deep breathes and close your eyes, think of a relaxing song or something to take your mind of things. honestly it does help. Um i dunno where ur frum buh im from the UK and tampax (pink ones) seem to work pretty gd for me. But good luck once again.

I'm turning 14, and i need to know what to spend my money on. I'm really into clothes, but i don't know if i should go all out and go on a shopping spree. I have a sewing machine. I have an ipod, case, and speackers. I have a tv with dvd player. I don't want any dvd suggestions. Maye a purse would be cool, but where should i get it from? i ABSOLOTLY hate doney and bourke. i have a cell phone. i just got a camers =[.
what can i get?
Hey to be honest, no one should really tell you what to spend your money on.
Its YOUR money... and YOURS only... so therefore YOU decide =)
A good suggestion though... You may want it for the future.. You never know =)
so why not jus bank a litle bit.
Buh jus remember to have fub =D
Good Luck
Vikki
For your own safety, I strongly suggest you remove your full name from your profile. You don't know who is or is not viewing your column, nor do you know what these people are capable of. Unfortunately, the internet is not the safest place to roam, and giving out your full name is just plain silly.
Be careful on the internet and be careful when dealing with strangers. As much as we would like to think that cyber space is safe, that is not always the case.
As a warning to you, never give out personal information that could lead to your whereabouts. That includes your full name, address, school, place of work, any sports teams you play for, etc. Any of that information could lead to you and to danger.
Once again, I strongly urge you to remove your full name from your profile. I also suggest you either not share your e-mail on your profile, or share a different e-mail account if you have one (I suggest this because your e-mail includes your last name).

Thank you,

Thanks i have now
you said that you could give me kissing tips, so please tell.
Yeh sure!
Firstly DONT EAT HIM!
what i mean by that is, dont takeover his mouth and leave saliva all on his face if you get me.
For my personal opinion slow kisses are the best.
But if he giving you a lead to go faster then its your choice.
And right now to business proper tips
- if you can brush yout tongue on the roof of his mouth... give it a go - it makes boys go wild!
- people always worry about their hands... maybe put them somewhere comfortable for a start, maybe just by his hips or ribs.
- ALWAYS HAVE YOUR EYES CLOSED, no one wants to b stared at while kissing hehe
- tilt your head a litle bit, so noses dont clash with each your (usually right handed people go to the right and left handed to the left - but whatever feels right)
Thats all i can remember right now.
Also if your cant remember all these, dont worry just relax and go with the flow =)
Good Luck!
well first off i'd like to say im 14 and female. i got my first kiss when i was 13 and then we broke up. he is the only guy i have ever made out with and i really want to hookup with someone. i know that sounds pretty bad but i dont know but i just do. problem is my friends keep trying to hook me up but my "friend" ends up saying well i just wanna let you know i like th person you like and i cant control my feelings(this is after i tell her i liek a guy) and this is everytime i like a guy she does this. so she will go after them and it makes me so mad because she is suposed to be a best friend, not betray me. and then everytime the guy falls for her. so no hookup for me, or date, or boyfriend. it makes me really upset and i dont know what to do. please help me, thanks.
p.s. i have tried confronting her and she denies it.
p.s.s. sorry this was so long.
Hey its not that long.
And its okay, Ive only had one guy kiss me, well 2 although the 2nd one i would really call it that.
And you cant control who you have feelings for. You just cant.
Tell your friends that they cant froce you to love/kiss/hook up with anyone unless u feel its right,otherwise its not fair on the guy, AND YOURSELF.
Secondly if your friend is copying who you like, trick her. Its a test.
Say to her "oh i think i like ______." (thins person has to be someone you used to like.
But dont tell her who you REALLY like.
And your right she should be doing this it really isnt right or fair. Fair enough if she thinks the person is good looking but going after them is not right.
So i strongly reccomend this test.
Lastly, I suggest you tell another friend, about the boy and about your friend. Also if she really annoys you, sorry if this sounds harsh but just dont talk to her, shes obviously not a good friend that worthy of your time.
Oh one last thing, also about this test try saying a boy she doesnt know - or even make him up. Shell feel jealous or left out or something like that, and move on... hopefully...
well keep in touch

[Sorry my answer was a bit long too]
okay, I'm 13 and I might actually be "in love" with my girl friend.
The only thing is we hug ALOT but I havnt kissed her yet! Please help me boost my conifidence.
and the last time she gave me a BIG hug I got a boner and I think she felt it, what should I do?
First of all
Your 13... My first kiss wasnt till i was 14 and a half.
Secondly, chill out! Because worrying about this boner wont get you anywhere.
Also dont try and force youself to kiss, the best kisses are when the time and mood is right. Not just a first kiss on the street by the corner shop. If you get what im saying.
But if you realy are haing trouble, the besy way is to talk to her about it.
Send me a question if you want tips on styles of kissing and what not.
Good Luck!

I have alot of fat on my stomach and thighs.
I am always gaining weight now..
and it doesnt look good.
What are some tips that i can do, to loose some of this fat and stay healthy and skinnier.?
thanks
xoxo
First of all what you need to get right is, eating right and then excersizing right eaquals the skinnier body.
erm eat a balanced diet, try get 5 fruit a day, and 3 whole grain a day, AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.
And to get slimmer in general, sit ups and pressups in the morning, maybe a run if you really want to.
Good luck!
xXx
Ok, 13 / F / UK.
I go to a Private School and i guess i know everyone in my year/grade to have all of them as friends. But i'm soo shy it's untrue! they always talk to eachother but never me unless they want to borrow my mirror or something like that. I never get invited anywhere these days, i can't remeber the last time i was invited to some ones house or into town to shop. I feel left out at school all the time. i try to be myself but they think that 'myself' is weird, well they don't say that but they react in that way. i just want to be Individual. Have my own fashion sense, not copying the other girls fashion sense, but my own individual fashion sense.
Does any one have any ideas of how to get more friends and be invited places?
Suggestion that could help with my shynesS?
Any one have some websites where i can find Groovy Chick outfits/clothes?
Anything will do, please help. x
suggest days out!
So theyll see you outside of school too, then they might want to invite you:)
And for shyness...
SMILE!
it always looks confident!:)
Jus dont change yourself to "fit in"
Good Luck
Vikki
why when I smoke and then like half an hour later i brush my teeth my tongue feels weird llke i f my tongue was hurt and reacts with my toothpaste
d
have you tried using different toothpaste?
Is it just when after u have had a ciggarete
It might be that causing it
Also maybe use pearl drops mouth wash for smokers after you brush too it might help this reaction.
Although the best way would be to give up smoking...although that is wuite hard to do..
Anyway, try alternatin toothpaste and using mouthwash.
I heard that the girl from Hairspray just sent in a video tape of herself acting and that's how she got the part. Can you really do that? If so where can I find a website that I can send in my audition tapes to?
Firstly, you dont know if thats what she did. Why dont you write to her agency people/people that look after her rep ect, and ask them.
They might even give you a good local company to help you start make your acting career.
If not join an agency! =)
Good luck!
