i'm 17/f and i'm ok when i talk to one person at a time. but when there's more than one i get shy. its also ok when i am talking to my friends cos i know them. so, is there anything i can do to change this?

you juss have to be yourself & not worry about what people think of you. i mean juss focus on talking to people in larger groups. if you practice at it, you'll be fine. no matter what people are going to judge you. you juss gotta get used to it, & if you try being yourself around more & more people, it'll become easier for you to do. you juss need to work at it & thats all you can really do.

good luck!♥

Do you think if I cut out all sodas would I lose about 5-7 lbs in 2 weeks? I usually drink about 1-2 sodas a day, but I am not overweight or anything I am 5'5 and 110 lbs. I would just like to lose about 5 lbs or so. Also I hear people say to even cut diet soda out? I thought diet soda was okay to drink b/c it has no calories, how could I benefit from not drinking diet either?

soda can really help. it has a lot of unwanted fats that you really don't need, but soda is really addicting. diet soda is actually worse for you than regular soda is. idk the whole story, but if you juss cut out soda totally you'll lose lbs. idk how many exactly. if you want other ways of losing weight, you can juss feedback me.

ok things have gotten really stressfull in my life right now and i need soem help. the only way i have found to handle my stress is smoking. i have smoked for 4 years offa nd on. but never as much as i smoke now. about a year ago a pack would last me almost a week. now it barely lasts me over a day! i want to slow down, but i tend to get grumpy and really super stressed when i do. any ways i can either cut down with out freakign out or just take away some of my stress? i know smoking so much is only harming my body not helping, but i dont know any other ways to handle my stress

you can try other ways to relieve stress. smoking is a really bad habit & i know it's difficult to smoke, because my uncle & my cousin have tried a few times. here's a website-

http://www.optimalhealth.org.uk/10_ways_to_relieve_stress.htm

i think that site has a lot of good information.

good luck!♥

how do you know when your in love?

the commenter before is definately right. you'll know when you're in love & when you're not, so don't worry about it. when you fall in love, it'll hit you.

ok this is realy long... ok i play basketball and like all of my friends are on my team like all ecept one which ive always hated we shall call her Tiff and one onf my best friend from third garade called Hope always get mad at me for realy menatle reason and she is friends with Tiff and at our game on Tuesday i was talking under the bleachers with my bestest friend Amanda and my "friend" Hope stood there listen to our convo. and which you couldn't hear a damn word said that we were talking about them so they were talking about us and my one friend lacey was having a party in october and my friend wasnt invited because according to them we ack mental around each out withch may be true but its because we such good friends and were not afraid to ack like that then lacey said if i dont make up with hop neither of us r going to her party so i just told hope have fun at her party cuz u once again get your way so now like three of my friends are mad at me for no fucking good reason and then thay were all listen to my and amnadas convo. in the looker room and then they ran away like we didnt see them when we heard them and ive kinda dont want to be friends with them because they are so rude to each other and they think its funny but i think it hurts people mainly me! but i cant afford to loose any friends but i dont want them wat can i do??AMBER MARIE CARROLL 13/f/pa

hmm that seems like a bunch of girl drama which is totally common. you'll realize who's your true friend & who's not. juss be friends with the girls/guys that are nice to you and drop the rest. if they're on your team, then it'll definately be more difficult if you guys fight, because it'll cause tention on the court. you juss need to straighten it out with them. not saying you guys have to be friends, but be civil with each other so that you guys can still play good.

I want to do something special for each of my parents. They do so much for me so I want to show them how much I care. So what should I do? Nothing that costs a lot...Like Breakfast in bed is a good idea, but 1. I have school and 2. They wake up before me...any ideas???

hmm maybe you can cook them another meal, like dinner er something, do some more chores, etc. i think the best thing would be to write them a letter er a note er something saying how much you care, because it'll show it. you took the time to write it & they'll notice that. another thing would be helping out with other things around the house er something.

every friend i have, i talk about, except one who is a grade younger than me. i talk good things about her but sometimes she can really make me mad and sometimes i get teased cause shes only in 6th grade and i need to "get some friends my own age". there this girl i really like in my grade but im like the only person in my skewl that likes her, and im trying to fit in so i pretend i dont really like her. i talk about everyone. its really bad! im a real bitch. i want a best friend. its pathetic!

please tell me what i can do. thank you

you should be friends with who you want to be friends with. don't let anyone decide who your friends are no matter what they say. if you want to be friends with her, then go for it & if not juss talk to her about it.

I need help on a halloween party. Does anyone have any good ideas? thanks

my friend had a halloween party last year & it was a lot of fun. it was a costume party & then everyone voted for the best costume & stuff. and we played the guessing game, like you put something gross in a bowl and the lights are out and you can't look at it & you have to guess what it is. hmm we had a lot of music & different lights & we juss kind've hung out. there was also a lot of cool food, like finger cookies that actually looked like fingers. her uncle actually dressed up as a creepy guy & was hiding outside & chased everyone. we mostly juss danced a lot.

-hope that helped!♥

Ok well me and my friends hang out in a group of four. None of us can buy costumes anymore, so we need a good Halloween costume for four people. Can you give me some ideas? We need all the time we can get to put together stuff. We have makeup, but we don't know what to use it for, we have normal clothes in the closet, old Halloween costume parts, and maybe some acsessories. Please help.

ok this might be lame to you haha.

-a box of crayons! me & my friends we're going to do that one year, & make a box out've cardboard and then each dress as a different color crayon. like lets say blue purple orange and yellow. everyone dresses in that color with make up, clothes, etc. & then make a huge box out've and put on like Crayola & all that stuff. & you guys each walk around in it like all together. we thought it was a cute idea =)

when i really really like someone im soo excited when they ask me out that my stomach hurts. but then after about an hour i dont want to go out with them anymore because i think of everything wrong with them. wuts wrong with me? its really annoying. like im SO picky..

a lot of girls are picky. idk why but they are. i think you're thinking "well all this stuff is wrong with him so it might not be worth it & plus i dont wanna get hurt over some jerk". that isn't always the case. what you have to do is realize that if the guy were to do that to you, how bad you'd feel. plus you don't want to jump to conclusions about him. you juss need to spend some time w/ each guy you go out with, & then go from there. don't jump to conclusions. there are a lot of good guys out there that you'll like. juss try to open your mind up a bit & everything will be ok. there isn't anything wrong with you though.

i just found out my best friend is pregent, she is about 5 to 6 months along and is due in january and she is going to make the kid call me aunt because we are so close, like sisters. i feel totally shocked because she is only 17 while she is gonna marry the guy, i know its gonna be hard for her, and im just not sure what to do for her right now, i just need some ideas because i am completely in shock.

you juss need to be there for her. if you were in her position, you would want her to be there for you too. that seems like a totally difficult decision, but it's really good that she's keeping the baby & eventually getting married to the father of her baby. you juss need to be there when she needs you. like if she calls er you can offer help & stuff. maybe a good idea would be to go to the hospital when she has the baby so she knows you're there to help her through it & stuff.

good luck!♥

ok some kid that i used to be friends with now i am not he got my phone number and he calls my house acting alll stupid and curses also i dont want my parents picking up and him curseing at them cause i wont be grounded for like ever.. what can i do to make him stop calling i rate 5s

i wouldn't threaten him about it, juss because he might do it out've spite. i'd tell your parents that some random caller has your number & that he curses & what not. that way they can get the # blocked, plus if you tell them ahead of time you won't get into trouble. maybe there's a way with your phone company er w/e it is, that you can block his # w/out your parents knowing. the best thing to do would be talk to them first.

I want to lose 10 pounds in about a week. I know that's very difficult to do but I'm willing to put a lot of effort into it. Any idea's on how I could do this while still eating and not going anorexic and staying healthy and/or ways to exercise? Meal/snack ideas? =( I really want to lose the weight. Please help.

the best way is to do it healthy. soo here are a few tips & ideas.

-make sure you sleep 9-10 hrs, it probably sounds dumb but it does help.
-eat all 3 meals, decent sized. juss don't over do it.
-eat a good sized breakfast. if you don't, your body goes into starvation mode & doesn't burn calories, so you either gain weight er stay the same weight.
-eat every 3 hrs if possible. it helps your metabolism, but don't eat junk. eat foods that are good for you like fruit, veggies, crackers, etc. maybe yogurt too
-exercise a good amount. 1-2 hrs a day is fine. 7 days a week would be best, but you don't have to run miles er anything like that. only if you want to. try jogging, maybe swimming, basketball, soccer, volleyball, etc.
-drink a lot of water, but not too much, & stay hydrated.

I've got a Cingular Motorola V220, and I'm getting a new phone...and I was wondering if there's any way I can save my pictures without sending them to an e-mail address or another phone? Anyone know?

Thanks :]

i think since it's cingular, it doesn't have an online program. like for verizon, it has a website with your account, that has your pictures on it where you don't have to send it. like its automatically there, but i have cingular & i don't think it has that. try asking your company, because they might know a few tricks. other than that you can't save them.

Okay, my 18th birthday is in...like, three weeks and I have no plans. I want to do SOMETHING with my friends. Unfortunately a bunch of my friends aren't 18, so that rules out going to a club or anything. My birthday's on a monday, which really sucks, but we could do something the weekend before, or on halloween weekend or something...anyway, I know that.
I'd like a few opinions and ideas as to what we could do. I refuse to let my 18th go by without celebrating. I did that with my 16th and I regret it quite a bit.
So, ideas? Also, please try to hold off on the chatspeak. I rate down if it takes me more than one attempt to read and understand the response. Punctuation marks are your friends. ^_^

oh 18! thats a big one so it should be a lot of fun. is there any clubs around that are like 16-20 er something? ok so it isn't as scandalous as a regular club, but then that way your friends can go & have fun & you still can too. how about a sports bar type place? with a resturaunt, huge tvs, pool tables, games, etc. juss a cool place to hang out & do things with your friends. another idea would be having it at a hotel like the holiday inn. idk how much money you're willing to spend, but instead of a sweet 16, it could be like your sweet 18. that'd be really neat & you can do everything like a sweet 16, except your 18. maybe since it's by halloween, that could be the theme. like a costume party & stuff. definately do it the friday er saturday before.

here's a website i found-

Had anyone been having problems with iPod mini

there's a recall so you can take yours back & get a diff type, but i heard that in the next 2 years you won't be able to use the battery, idk why but it's juss rumors going around. some of my friends had them & they aren't working so well. so either get a recall on it, er if you're planning to buy one, don't haha.

ok well i'm a 16 yr old gurl and i just recently started going out with a friend of mine like 3weeks ago on thursday and i ador him......my first question is, is it weird that i might love him already? like i feel so confortable with him....and the other question is......i want to have sex with him...but is it to soon? like he knows i'm a virgin and he doesnt care to wait but i want to.

plz help i'll rate high

it's definately not weird to love him already. i loved my bf at age 13 & were together now since then. it's completely normal. hmm if you're ready to have sex then do it, but you need to be like 75436587365% sure, because you don't want to regret it. if your christian er anything like that, you wanna wait till after marriage. like my opinion is that i want the person that takes my virginity to be my husband & it'll really mean something. if you're totally ready then go for it.

good luck!♥

ok my bestguy friend hes cute and im entirely in love with him i think he has a girl so i dont know what to do? i think he likes me. we nown eachother since last year so about two years ive loved him in silence. my best fiend is his cousin and my other friend was his girlfriend .so obiously i dont know what to do i love him so much i dont know if i should tell him or not? please help me?ok and now im in 8th grade and soon ive will be graduating jr high school so i wantedto go the prom with him but i dont know what hes gonna say so i dont know if i should tell himor not but to be honest im scared to. please help me please.

i think you should tell him about how you feel, but try not to disrepect his girl while doing that, if he has one. i know it's probably nerve racking, because you don't want him to not like you & all that stuff, but if you don't talk to him about it, you won't know & like..that's also difficult, because you don't want to be worrying & all that stuff. maybe if you guys would juss talk about it it'll work out for you. maybe he likes you too, but is afraid you don't like him er something like that.
