i would like to tell you all, that you are beautiful. everyone on here are the greastest among people. for we are all hear to help and be helped. and this is no question. and if i get suspended or deleted from advicenators for it or something, so be it. but the main point is, you are all wonderful people and every one of you are making this world a better place by signing on here everyday and helping someone half way around the world that you don't even know. that's what's gonna change the world. if everyone was like the people here, the world would be a better place. but sadly it's not. but maybe someday, it will be. so if you see a struggling man or woman, do not laugh, stick out your hand to help them. do good in the world, more than you already have. and maybe someday you can change the world. and i write this becuase someone answered the boy from pakistan in a way that really moved me. and it makes me appreciative of what we do here. and it makes me aware of how good i am. compared to some people in the world without homes, money, food. or are young parents. and their last hope in the world is here, and when everyone gives a helping hand, it's something beautiful and unreplacable. God bless all of you!

Thank you,
and to tell you the truth, I have never really thought that I could be changing the world. That really makes me think!

I neen help starting a deep convo with this guy i like. Also i needhelp just starting any conversation, like i wanna b the life of the party but i never think of anything to say! and i wanan get into deep convos with the guy i like

Try questions like these:

What is the worst advice you have ever taken?
What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

Try to think of questions that will make him think, not just the normal "So do you like sports" and stuff like that. And if you know that he likes sports, ask him about his favorite team, or how to play football, guys feel like they are important when they try to explain how things work to girls

Theres this guy at work that has been confusing me. He's a team lead over cashiers and with me working the sales floor, we had never talked before. One day I was joking around at the service desk with one of my friends who is a cashier. She introduced us and since than him and I have become instant friends.

When I walk by him, he always hollers at me so that I will stop and talk to him. Even when I come in on my off days, he stops whatever he is doing and talks to me.

One of the things that confuses me is that he treats me differently when some people are around. When no one is around he flirts and tells me his plans and things about himself. But if people are around he treats me like a team member, like he wasnt just flirting with me 2 seconds before.

Like the other night, he made me stay past my time to cover a department, so another team member could go to the huddle. After the other team members left, he called me to make sure that I wasnt mad at him.

He is very very serious about keeping his work and personal life separate. He also keeps spouting off the rules to me about how he is not even allowed to hang out with team members only team leads. But than he messages me to come and hang out with him and so on. When I questioned him about how isn't him hanging out with me mixing work and personal life, he responded with that he trusted me not to mess up his work enviroment. He always drops little hints into the conversations about himself and everything.

Another one of the team leads over the cashiers who I am extremely close with told me that they told her that the rules were that they could date and hang with team members as long as it didnt interfere with the job.

The other night I ran into him and his friends at the pool hall and the first thing he said to me was "What took you so long to get here?". After they left him and his friends went to eat and I went home. When I got home I had a message from him asking me why I didnt come eat with them.


He's not a really shy guy, he's actually very outgoing.I've never ever had a boyfriend, any boy that I ever liked has always put me in the friends only category. He is the first guy to even show just interest in me that is maybe a little more than just friends. I think he knows that I like him but I'm not sure. He's told me that work relationships, never work out, not statistically anyway. People at work have noticed and tell me that he treats me different than he does anyone else there. I'm just not sure. Sorry for the long text I really needed to get it off my chest.

It sounds like he likes you. But like you said yourself he is serious about keeping his work and personal life seperate. Because he is higher up in the ranks it is more important that he acts professional at all times. Maybe he is not sure that you like him and that is why he is not persuing the relationship. My boyfriend and I work at the same place, and we do act different around eachother, it is in a sense that when we are at work, not boyfriend and girlfriend but just associates. I think you should let him know that you like him, and that you would not do anything to compromise his or your jobs.

Hey,
Lately, my asthma has been really bad.
I have a humidifier, I use my inhaler, etc.
Are there any ways to help it?

Try to stay away from things that trigger your asthma, such as dust, pets,perfumes etc. Cold weather is also a trigger, so try to stay inside and not spend alot of time out in the cold. If you have to use your inhaler everyday then your asthma is not under control, I would suggest having your parents take you to a doctor who is a doctor for asthma. I go to one who only treats asthma and allergies, they usually know more about new treatments you could try than your regular doctor would.

I just found out that britney shaved all her hair out. I couldn't believe it.
Why did she do it?. What's going on with her?

I think that she has just completely lost her marbles. She checked into rehab, then checked back out, then checked back in. She is just a mess and it is probably related to drugs and/or alcohol.

I'm a virgin (15), and my boyfriend is not(17). he doesn't care that I am, or anything like that, he has a girlfriend for a long time and she's only the other person he's had sex with.... Well I'm really scared to do it, and it's not liek he's pressuring me or anything, I just want to know, what his reaction will be like. because I'm really afraid, and do guys usually have patience with girls during their first? and how bad does it actually hurt?

It is nervous to be nervous about having sex for the first time. But if you are scared about it then you should wait. When you are completely ready you should forget about being nervous and scared and only be excited and happy. He should be patient and go slow with you if he knows it is your first time. If he loves and cares about you he won't want your first time to be a bad experience. And if he doesn't care then you probably should not be having sex with him. As for pain, it really depends on the person. Some girls say it hurts a lot the first time, however when I lost my virginity it didn't hurt at all. Just make sure that it is not a decison that you will regret, and that he is the one.

Okay well... my boyfriend and I are both
virgins and not sexually active what so ever.
However, when we lay down on a couch/bed and he wraps his arms around me I get a lot of VD.
Like what the heck ?
Is this normal ? or just weird ?
HELP.

It's normal. Guys get hard, and girls get VD [or wet as some people call it] It's natural and healthy. =]

i'm 14/f and i've had my period for about 2-3 years now and i HATE pads so much. i've tried to put a tampon in so many times but whenever i do i don't know exactly where to put it and it doesn't just slide in easily do i force it in? will it hurt? how long can you keep it in there? when you take it out do you just pull the string? i've never stuck anything up there before. i'm so desperate any advice would help. thanks soo much!

It's a little tricky to get the hang of it at first but after a few tries its really easy. If you are a virgin you should probably try using a smaller size at first such as Junior sizes, Lites or Regular size. Then it is helpful to sit on the toliet with your knees apart, and relax. If your not relaxed it makes it harder to insert! so take a few deep breaths. Hold the applicator with your thumb and middle finger with your pointer finger on the bottom of the applicator. Insert the tip of the applicator (try to angle it towards your lower back) all the way,then push the bottom of the applicator with your pointer finger until you hear or feel a click, then remove the applicator. If its in right you wont feel it at all, if it feels weird take it out and try again. Don't worry its normal to have a little trouble.
You can usually keep them in for 4-6 hours depending on how heavy your flow is. And to take it out you just pull the string.

What kinds of historical/literary examples and quotes made by famous people can I probably work into just about any assigned essay topic for the SAT?

As for examples you can always work in something about Hitler and Nazi Germany, as well as Julius Caesar and Brutus. There is also Shakespeare, Martin Luther King Jr. Malcom X, JFK, George Washington, Ben Franklin etc

We have a couple. The man crosses the river to work. When he is supposed to come back home, he doesn t show up. The woman worries and tries to cross the river to find her husband. A cannibal offers to get her across the river ONLY if she has sex with him.
Who has the biggest share of fault in this story?
Go downwards for instance
1)Cannibal (Biggest Fault)
2)Man (Medium Fault)
3)Woman (Less fault).
There are no other variables. You dont know how long was the husband was late, or if he could communicate and didn t etc.
I will tell you what it means on my feedback. You ll learn interesting stuff about yourself just by answering this question.


This is not like the usual dumb quizzes you find on the internet.

1 Woman
2 Man
3 Cannibal

ok well my hair is really thick and during the day like after my hair drys from getting out of the shower it will be all dry and frizzy is there anything i can do to make it be all silky and smooth. without spending tons of money on hair products. Because my mom wont get me a bunch of hairstuff unless its of some sort of use to her soo yea.. Please help me
i also have somthing else to add. if i skip and day and not take a shower one day it will be silky and smooth the next and smell really good still is it ok to skip a day and shower ever other day? because ive heard that washing your hair everyday isnt good for it.

Do you know anything to my make hair silky smooth?
Is it ok to shower everyother day and not everyday?

I have the same problem, I've found that the sunsilk shampoo and conditioner [you know the ones with the slogan "Get Hairapy"] really work well. Use either the pink [for dry hair] or the purple [to make your hair straight]. Also I take showers at night and then blow dry my hair straight, then by morning the frizziness has calmed down. You heard right it is better to not wash your hair everyday. It is just fine to shower and wash your hair every other day. Unless you are playing some heavy sports everyday and sweat, but if you do need to shower everyday just wash your hair everyother day.

ok well ive been friends with this guy for about 6 or 7 years maybe even longer and well ive had feelings for him since the 4th grade but i didnt say anything because i dont wanna ruin our relationship. But my feelings for him are getting stronger and idk what to do. I think there might be a chance that he likes me...He talks and messes around with me on the bus and on the way home from school when we are walking together he pushes me in the snow and other stuff, And when its rainy or really cold he will give me a ride home...

and if you think somthing please explain sumwhat cuz all people tell me is take a chance...well i want to know that sumthing good will come out of it.

do you think he likes me?
should i ask him out or tell him how i feel??

It is very possible that he likes you, but like you said before you are friends and most of the things you mentioned sounds like things friends would do to eachother. Does he seem to go out of his way to do things for you? If so he probably likes you as more than a friend.

I think you should tell him how you feel and take a chance. Just tell him that you like him as more than a friend. If he says he likes you too, then good for you! If he says that he only sees you as a friend, well then it wasn't meant to be. If he only wants to be friends, then let him know that it is still okay, and that things shouldn't be awkward between the two of you.

So if he does like you than you have the potential for a great relationship, and if he doesn't then you STILL have your friendship. It is really a win-win situation. So go ahead and risk it, you really have nothing to lose

It's pretty much just sex with your clothes on.

So I was sledding with my brother and we were going down this big hill... But we couldn't stop. I knew we were going to crash, so I stuck my foot out so the bottom of it came into direct collision with a tree. At first, I thought I sprained my ankle, but I could walk ok. I soon found out that I couldn't bend it forward or else it would hurt like hell (e.g. I can't make my foot go straight down, like, stand on my tippy toes. The more I do that, the more it hurts.) I'm afraid I may have torn a ligament. Someone please help?

Go to the Emergency Room.

ok well this really isnt about sex but i didnt know what it was really classified as..

anyway well on Valentines day a guy and i were talking and walking around town in the dark. Well we stopped in the park and were sitting on the stage, he asked me if i'd flash him. I told him no a million times but then he was like ok well i will kiss you if you do it. Well it was like my first kiss and i really wanted it soo well i agreed, We kissed and after i was thinking about it and said i dont know if i can do this soo he stuck his hand down my shirt and pretty much took my boob out and looked at it ((awkward (SP?)moment))then he put it back and then we got up and well we were just like glaring at each other in the eyes and well he kinda came at me real fast and kissed madeout with me.
He told his best friend about it and well now im scared the whole school will find out and i will be called a slut..
do you think that makes me a slut or a whore or anything like that.
I regret it soo much!
he also told me that he cared about me and was thinkging about going out with me..and would tell me the next day but he didnt and now he wants me to do even more and i really dont wanna do it
what should i do.?
and does what i did make me a slut?

No, you really didn't do anything. This guy sounds like a creep. Just forget about it and if people start talking about it, just deny that it ever happend. Then find another guy who will treat you right

I was searching in my files for something that I haven't listened to. Most of my music is.. sad. I need more "happy" music. Any genre really. Random lyrics are good. Nothing that sounds sad or has sad lyrics.
