14-female
i have recentley started to like this boy in my class an were quite good friends. i told my best friend i liked him but now im scared that she will tell him, even though were best friends we don things like that. i no she wouldnt mean any harm by telling him its just id rather wait and tell him in my own time. how can i make sure she wont tell him ? (link)

You ask her not to, and you trust her. That's what friends do. It's really as simple as that.

my boyfriend of about a year keeps indirectly pressuring me to have sex with him and it bothers me. and i feel kinda guilty cause hes on the football team and he gets pressured from people and i know that. but i wouldnt do it because of that, but im just really feeling pressured now, even though i never thought i would. but im not ready yet, cause im only a junior in high school, and ive told him that im not ready yet. what should i do? (link)

He shouldn't be pressuring you on this. He should respect you enough to let you come to it in your own time, if at all.
If he's getting pressure from the guys on the football team, and succumbing to that, then he's essentially saying that their feelings on the matter mean more to him than yours. Since when does the football team get any say on when and how you lose your virginity? THEY can have sex with your boyfriend if it's so important to them!
You should make it clear to him one more time that you will have sex when you are ready to do it and that the more he presses the issue, the less likely it is to happen. Lay it out in no uncertain terms, and tell him that he's putting your relationship at risk. Then, if he continues to push for sex... end it. Even if it hurts to do so, you'll be sending a clear message that you won't be pushed into anything you're not ready for, and that when it comes to sex, YOU decide what you will and won't do.

I'm having some trouble finding out what Atreus' symbol would be. I saw something about the Greek Theatre Mask of Tragedy being a possible symmbol, but why exactly, and is that true? Or are there others?
Also, I can't find Atreus' exact powers or responsibilities that he has- does anyone know? Your help would be extremely beneficial:)
(And I have searched like crazy throughout the internet and books, so I did put honest effort into this, I just can't seem to find any information on those particular topics)
Thanks. (link)
|
You know something interesting? If you type "Atreus Symbol" into Google, the very first link will lead you right back here - so according to Google, you're already the foremost expert on it. Congratulations!
I can't seem to find a symbol for him either; it may be that there just isn't one, at least none that has survived to the present day. I did manager to find a symbol for Mycenae, the city over which he was King, but only on ONE website which sells jewelry so it may just be something they made up ("Mahlia Crest", if you're interested). I saw nothing about the Greek Theater mask being associated with him.
As for powers & responsibilities, he was the King of Mycenae. You might have better luck finding out the duties and responsibilities of ancient Greek kings in general, rather than his specifically. Also, try looking up his son Agamemnon, who has a little more history behind him due to his involvement in the Trojan War.

I have a crush. I'm totally obsessed with him. But its no use, he doesn't really like me. But even though he doesn't, I still love him madly! There is this another guy....who is in deep love with me. He's in tenth grade. I'm in 8th grade. Hes in a different city. We might not get to see each other very often. Maybe we will never get to see each other. He wants me to be his Girlfriend. I don't know how to reply him. When i say I like him as a friend...he goes all emo. But I don't really like him as a boyfriend. I already have a crush on someone in our school. I love him a lot. This person who loves me...what can I say to him? What should I do? Please don't say "its your choice." :) thank you! I'm a fourteen year old girl and I need help! (link)

The guy who likes you (LDR guy) needs to understand that you won't be his girlfriend. But be honest with yourself for a moment - do you intend to be his "friend" either, or is that just another way of saying, "I really don't want to have much to do with you at all, but I don't want to hurt your feelings either."
I like to hang out with my friends, talk to them about stuff, confide in them to a certain extent, that sort of thing. If that's the kind of relationship you want with LDR guy, then by all means, tell him you want to be friends. If you would really rather he just not bother you at all anymore, then don't tell him you'll be "friends". Tell him that you don't want a relationship with him at all, because you just don't feel the way he does and there's nothing that can be done about that. Be gentle with him about it, but at the same time you need to make yourself clear. Don't bother mentioning the crush you have on this other guy; that's got nothing to do with it. I assume you wouldn't want to be LDR guy's girlfriend even if you weren't crushing on someone else, so there's no need to even bring it up. Doing so will only give LDR guy false hopes that you might come back to him if the crush doesn't work out.
As for the crush, give it time. The guy might change his mind about you. You might change your mind about him. Crushes come and go, so don't invest too much into it, especially if he's just not interested. One way to look at it is this: respond to the guy you're crushing on exactly the same way as you would like LDR guy to respond to you.

I'm sure many of you have come across websites where you can take free surveys to get points for certain things.
I noticed all the free ones require adresses and credic card numbers and phone numbers.
My dad hates putting our credic card number online and I'm aafraid we'll get charged for something anyway?
Are there any fake legit addresses, credic card numbers, and phone numbers for purposes like this? (link)
|
Follow your dad's advice on this one. If it's free, why do they need your credit card number? Answer: because it's not free. Or at least it won't stay that way.
Posting your personal information online in an attempt to get free stuff is an open invitation to identity theft. It's a very bad idea.

What charities need more donations? What type of foundations and services? I would preger it be more of a local type answer rather than donating to other countries such as Africa. Thank you. (link)

All charities need more donations. If they didn't, they would stop. The best thing to do is to give to a cause in which you believe. Since there are lots of people who support many different charities, they all end up getting something.

My little sister was born yesterday and my mom was showing me the umbilical cord and how it is going to fall off and there will be a belly button there. I, of course, knew all of this already but I had never actually seen this happen in person. I think that it's pretty fascinating though.
Do animals have navels too? I've never seen something like a cat with a belly button but maybe the scar is smaller for them? Just curious... (link)
| |
If they're born live (as opposed to hatching from an egg), then they have a bellybutton. It may be covered with fur, in a slightly different spot, or otherwise less noticeable than a human navel, but it's there.

So, I'm kind of short, I think. I'm like 5'2" or 5'3" so and I don't think I'm going to hit any more growth spurts that will make more more average in height. I never really had a problem with being short and my boyfriend hasn't really said anything about my height in comparison to his yet.
My boyfriend is something like 6'6" though and he's a year younger than me. I was thinking that he might hit another growth period and get even taller because I heard that boys mature faster than girls.
My best friend said we look weird together because he's so much taller than me and I'm sure she wouldn't lie to me about it. Yeah, my boyfriend has to bend down a lot to give me a kiss but I think it's cute that he lifts me up a little when we hug.
I don't know though. I don't want to be made fun of, especially if people are doing it behind my back and I don't know about it. My best friend said she'd stick up for me but I don't know if it's worth it. From how she described it, it makes me nervous that I'm not going to be able to make new friends next year (because they'll be laughing at me) if I'm still with my boyfriend...and it's kind of wrong to intentionally date someone for just a few months, right?
What do you think? Is my boyfriend too tall for me? (link)
|
I am 6'6". My wife is 5'3". We will celebrate our 12th anniversary as a happily married couple this year.
She gets to wear heels whenever she wants, and never has to worry about being taller than me.
When she sits on my lap, we see exactly eye-to-eye.
Whenever we ride on an escalator, she stands one step above me, and we take the opportunity to kiss.
And if your boyfriend can't date girls who are a lot shorter than him, he may need to give up dating altogether. Help the poor guy out!

I read somewhere that all humans have parasites and worms living within them and that they should be removed to lead a healthy life. I am really freaked out by this and I want the parasites out of my body!
How can I remove the parasites that are living inside of me though? Should I see a doctor for some sort of parasite-cleansing or human deworming treatment? How do I tell a doctor that I want to be de-wormed or something without them laughing at me? I'M SERIOUS! (link)
|
First of all, don't believe everything you read. It is a fact that all humans have bacteria living inside us; we would be dead without them, because they are essential to digestion. But parasites and worms? NOT. Wherever you read that, it sounds like someone's trying to sell snake oil.
But by all means, see your doctor and ask about it. Your doctor will absolutely NOT laugh at you; that would be grotesquely unprofessional behavior, and no doctor who legitimately earned their degree would ever laugh at a patient asking any sort of health-related question. Odds are, he will ask whether you are experiencing symptoms typical of parasitic infection, order some tests, and confirm whether you have any sort of parasite before prescribing anything.
And if it actually turns out you do have something, don't panic. If you had any sort of very dangerous parasite, you would have some unmistakable symptoms. These things are easy to deal with and not as scary as they seem.

i'm 14 years old female. i had sex with my boyfriend 4 days after my period we did it with a condom then i gave him a hand job and about a hour later we did it a little without a condom and he didn't cum in my though. is there still a chance i can get pregnant from when he cumed before the 2nd time? (link)
|
Yes, there is a chance. Any time you have unprotected sex, there's an average 25% chance of conception. You should get a test and figure out for sure.
I strongly recommend you avoid sex for the next few years, even protected sex. Condoms aren't 100% effective, every time. You are also under the legal age of consent (16 in most states), which means that if anyone found out about it, your boyfriend could be charged with statutory rape even if you were willing.

I don't mean to sound stupid but I'm curious if zombies are actually real to some extent. I'm not talking about the "zombies" you see in movies and on the television though that are after brains (or should I say "brraaainnsss!"). I also don't mean an actual invasion of zombies that tends to be the basis on many movies. I'm just talking about the walking dead, I suppose. Is there a such thing as the walking dead? Are there real incidences of zombies or A zombie? Any proof to back up a zombie theory? Just curious, really... (link)
|
Medical science has only recently reached the point where we can pretty definitively tell the difference between someone who really is dead and someone who is in a deep coma. For most of human history, one couldn't always tell for sure, and there have been well-documented instances of people "rising from the dead". Such people were probably disoriented, confused, or perhaps even driven mad because they woke up and found themselves in a coffin or morgue. Of course, they weren't really rising from the dead, because they weren't actually dead in the first place, but people could be forgiven for having thought they were.
Anyway, that's probably where the whole idea of zombies got started, and that's the limit of their basis in fact.

My boyfriends father claimed both him, and his younger brother on his income tax report. The problem with this is that his father hasn't been a part of their lives for more than ten years, and hasn't offered to be. He's always been lacking on child support payments (his mother has nowhere near enough income to hire an attorney to change this) , he neglects to answer phone calls or even attempt to get in touch. My boyfriends mother is a single mother, raising three kids. My boyfriend is in college, the middle is 17, and the youngest is under 17. Obviously, by his father claiming my boyfriend, his mother is being neglected of money she could use to help out her children. I find this incredibly ridiculous, and really don't know much about the subject. If there's anyone out there who knows anything about this, is there anything they can do to change this situation? Or is his mom just basically screwed. (link)
|
The good news is, she can definitely do something about it. As the previous responder said, a call to the IRS should bring about results.
The bad news is that this is not really your business. How much you can do to help the situation depends largely on the kind of relationship you have with your boyfriend's mother. She may have reasons for not calling the IRS which she is simply unwilling to discuss with you, or even with her own children. One possibility that springs to mind is that it may be her own taxes aren't being done entirely above-board either, and she doesn't want to invite an audit of her own income tax return.
The bottom line is that there is something that can be done about it, but not much that YOU can do. Even bringing the matter up to your boyfriend's mother might cause problems, because most people consider their finances to be a private matter and she may resent your butting in.

being a girl relly sucks i would rather be a guy, i love to be outside and hang in the woods, I dont even want to have sex ever, it grosses me out i hve been in plenty relationships with men but i dont wanna have my period nd i hate having boobs and having to do my hair all of the time is this normal???? (link)
|
What you describe is atypical, but I wouldn't call it abnormal.
Allow me to point out that with the exception of the period and having breasts, everything you mention is easily dealt with. You love being outside in the woods? Go for it, who says you have to be male to do that? You don't want to have sex? Then don't! You don't like doing your hair? Cut it short!
Short of surgery, you can't change your inherently feminine biological features. But you can DO whatever you like, and to hell with traditional gender roles.

So, I shoplifted the other day. Not anything huge, just some earrings from American Eagle and a shirt from Forever 21. They didn't have an ink tag or anything, just a price tag with a barcode, which I ripped off. I didn't do it because I don't have money, but I will admit, I don't like to just blow my money. I have a shopping addiction and I can't afford to buy every single thing in the store. I saw it as an easy solution. I hid them under clothes to take in the dressing room, so the attendant saw no difference. But my question is, are there security cameras in the dressing room.. is that even legal ? Or what are others ways I could get caught ?
(And please PLEASE do not tell me about how shoplifting is wrong. I don't have a guilty conscience about it, and I'm going to continue to do it.) (link)
|
Ever heard of an RFID tag? It's about half the size of a grain of rice, and it's the future in anti-theft technology. The stores don't need cameras to catch you if they employ these little gizmos - and they won't be advertising it when they start using them. Forget the security tags - these things are small enough to fit in an earring back. The point is, no matter how clever you are, you will get caught eventually.
I really don't know what kind of advice you expect to get here. No one is going to cheerfully ignore the fact that you're a thief, and help you to commit more crimes. The advice I have for you is to quit while you're ahead. I'd have a few other things to say as well, but I suspect it would all be ignored, so I'm not going to bother.

I'm going to graduate this year and so we have this senior prom coming up. Everybody is making a big fuss about buying expensive prom dresses and getting all dolled up with their boyfriends for this dance and I really am not interested in it. I'd rather just chill with my friends, watch some bad movies and eat some junk food, and make a long night of it at home.
I've never been really girly so the whole $300 dress thing doesn't appeal to me. My boyfriend is cool with me not wanting to go to the prom and thought maybe I should even have my own home-party instead so that I could "do something special" too.
The problem is with my mom. Ever since I started high school my mom has been really excited about my prom day. She talked about going dress shopping and getting my hair and make-up done. She's really big into photography too so I'm certain she had photos in mind too.
Now, I thought about telling her that I'm not interested in going to the prom but if she wanted to help me have a little party with my friends instead it would be nice. She's helped me have parties before so it isn't that she would be against that--it would be that there wouldn't be a prom "thing" for me.
I know she's been waiting for this for awhile, especially to see me all dressed up, but it isn't something I want to do. What do I say without sounding like an evil cunt? I don't want to hurt her feelings with this. (link)
|
It is your decision alone insofar as whether you go or not. Your mom may end up disappointed, but she's an adult and should be able to handle it. The best way to tell her is simple, straightforward truth: you don't want to go, it holds no appeal for you, and you'd rather she not try to convince you because it's just going to create bad feelings. And don't put it off - it would be far better to resolve this matter now instead of later.
There is one part of your post that gave me pause, however: your idea to have your own party at home and hang out with friends. It strikes me that they may already have plans for that night - you may not care to go to the Prom, but your friends may be planning on attending! I suggest you not try and set up a competing event, unless you already know that your friends will be available for it.
And incidentally, if your mom really wants to see you "all dressed up", with your makeup and hair all done, you might consider indulging her on that. I'm not saying you should go to the Prom for her sake, but go ahead and let her see (and photograph) her daughter in a pretty dress just once. If you get invited to a wedding or something anytime in the near future, that would be a good occasion to do that for her.

I'm doing a report for school so please don't say "we can't answer this or else we will banned". I'm not planning on doing it I just need facts for my report. Is it true that cigarettes and weed fill you up therefore you're not hungry anymore? (link)
|
Nicotine is a stimulant, and generally stimulants do have the effect of reducing hunger. They also have another effect in that people will often snack during the day when they aren't particularly hungry; those who smoke cigarettes will generally smoke instead of snack, so they don't consume those calories. The health benefits of eating less are far outweighed by the hazards of smoking, but I'm guessing you know that.
As the previous responder pointed out, marijuana will actually make you MORE hungry. One of the purposes of "medicinal marijuana" is to help those on strong chemotherapy to be able to eat.

These are questions you should be asking a doctor. A medical professional can give you definitive, correct answers; a random sampling of people on this website might be right, or dead wrong.

I am applying at Hooters, I was wondering what do I wear to the job interview, because there is a job interview (my mom told me a casual dress, but I think that's way too formal) I was thinking more on the lines of a nice top, nice dark jeans and nice sandals. So does anyone know what I should wear? (I prefer answers from people who actually worked at Hooters) Thanks, also what questions do they ask during the interview?
Thanks! (link)
|
I've never worked at Hooters, but I think I can give you some advice anyway.
This was taken directly from the Hooters website:
"You must be at least 17 years old for hourly employment opportunities with Hooters of America, Inc. and at least 18 or 21 for the Hooters Girl position depending on local alcohol service laws."
You're 17, so you do meet the requirements for working there, but not to be a server. I assume that you already know that (and if not, then your first step should be to visit www.hooters.com and read up on employment opportunities!) I'm not sure what other jobs they might be looking to fill with a 17-year-old as opposed to someone who can legally serve alcohol, but there must be some things or they wouldn't say so.
Still, you've got an uphill fight on your hand due to your age. You'll need to find the right balance between appearing responsible and showing a "bubbly" personality, which is something that the website says they're looking for. I think that dark jeans and a nice top would be suitable. Don't go for "sexy" - they won't be impressed by cleavage, and I can't help but think that they get huge numbers of applicants who believe that all they need to do is smile and look pretty.
I'm going to cheat a little and paste in a response that I once gave to someone who was applying at a coffee shop. Most of what I said to her will apply here as well:
Groom yourself well and take out any visible exotic piercings. Don't chew gum and don't smoke right before the interview.
Study the menu; they probably have a paper one you can take home. If you do a little homework up front, it shows that you are serious about wanting the job and it will score major points.
Arrive five to ten minutes early. Have a copy of your application if possible, and two forms of ID (the usual is a Driver's License and a Social Security card. If you don't have a DL, a birth certificate will do). You will need the ID in case they have you fill out an I-9 form.
Since you are probably going for a customer service position, you will want to show that you are someone the customers will like dealing with. Smile, speak clearly, and shake the interviewer's hand. Be engaging and unfailingly polite; start by thanking them for the opportunity to interview for the job.
This is an employer that probably sees a lot of applicants, so the interviewer will likely have a prepared list of questions. First and foremost, always answer TRUTHFULLY. The questions will probably include variations on the following:
(1) Something about your experience. Don't say anything negative about your former employers; it says more about you than them. Remain upbeat and positive about the idea of working.
(2) You will be asked about your strengths and weaknesses. For strengths, pick something relevant to the job (for instance, "I'm good at multitasking" or "I'm willing to pitch in and do the less glamorous parts of the job.") When giving an answer about a weakness, DON'T say something like "I tend to work too hard." That's a stock answer that will make any employer roll their eyes and scoff. Instead, describe a weakness you have AND how you compensate for it (For instance: "I sometimes have a hard time prioritizing tasks, so I will occasionally take a moment to write down all the things I have to do so I can think about it more clearly and determine what to do first.") When talking about weaknesses, offer only ONE example, unless specifically pressed for more. A trick used by some interviewers is to remain silent after you answer, to see if they can get you to say more and essentially bury yourself.
(3) Since you will be dealing with money, you may be given a simple math test. Triple-check your answers and make sure you score 100%. If you make an error here, you can pretty much kiss your chances goodbye.
(4) The interviewer will probably set up some scenarios and ask what you would do in certain situations, like dealing with an irate customer or how to handle it if there's money missing out of the drawer. Remember that sometimes, the right answer is "I would refer the problem to the manager."
(5) The interviewer is NOT allowed to ask any questions regarding your health, nationality, religion, political views, or much at all about your personal life. The only thing that they can ask about along those lines are about your job history and education. If you feel a question is inappropriate, ask for clarification or say that you're not sure you see the relevance.
(6) You will have the chance to ask your own questions. A good thing to ask is whether you can be cross-trained. This shows interest in the job and indicates that you want to be a valuable employee. Don't ask about money - that's a question for after the job is offered, and odds are it's not a negotiable thing anyway. If it hasn't come up yet, make sure to ask about the particulars of the job - request that the interviewer describe a "typical day".
(7) At the close of the interview, thank the interviewer once again for the opportunity, and say that you're looking forward to hearing from them (or, they may offer you the job right away!). If you really want to make a stellar impression, send them a letter the next day thanking the manager in writing.
Good luck!

I have been babysitting for my step mom's home daycaring service for 2 summers now. A couple of weeks ago I told her that I would work for her. Last week an offer came to my doorstep, someone my sister works for neeeded a baysitter. My step mom gives me $12 and day while the other #30 - $40 a day. I am going to high school next year and I am planning to save my money for college. I told my step mom that I can work for her the days that I am off and she got upset. My dad said that I should have stuck with my step mom... but this isn't all for me... this is for my furture of dreaming to go to vet college and become a vet... Now my dad wants to talk to me... what should I do??? (link)
|
When family relationships and business relationships clash, there's always tension.
Here's a harsh reality: because you are 13, you can only go to work for your sister's employer if your dad says you can. He is your legal guardian and until you're 18, he can tell any potential employer that you are not available for hire. If that's his position, then your only recourse is to convince him otherwise.
Fortunately, you have a strong item in your favor, which is your plans for what to do with the money. Your dad would have to be pretty shortsighted to ignore the fact that for you to save for college, especially starting from the age of 13, is a very responsible thing to do, and he should be encouraging you in any way he can.
The essential problem, as I see it, is the question of whether you're getting a PAYCHECK or an ALLOWANCE. Up until now, I would imagine that your dad and stepmom have viewed your working for her as more of a chore than a job; it's something you've been doing to help out the family, and in return you're getting an allowance. You, on the other hand, are viewing it as a business arrangement separate from familial obligations. I suggest you approach your dad from that angle, and point out to him that as a stepdaughter, you are happy to help out your stepmom; but as a worker, you are going to go for the best offer.
If that angle doesn't help you, try this one:
You have an obligation to contribute to the family. Your dad and stepmom have an obligation to help you grow into a responsible adult. The second obligation is more important, and since you want to use the extra money toward a worthwhile purpose, your dad should be supporting you in that way.
One more thing: If you do take the other job, it would be correct business etiquette to give your stepmom two weeks' notice before leaving. Your new employer should understand and respect that.

ok so i was at a party that got busted and I ran away, the thing is they have a list of everyone who was there, is it against any rules/laws to run away from cops at a party? will i get in any trouble? btw im 16 years old (link)
|
It is illegal to run away from the police if they are trying to detain you. For instance, if they shout "Stop! Police!" and you keep running, then that is illegal.
However, if you see police coming and make a hasty exit, then that is NOT illegal in and of itself. It is suspicious activity, though, and that might give them cause to follow up on you later if they're doing an investigation.
The list with your name on it is not proof you were there, and even if it were, it's certainly not evidence that you were doing anything illegal. The police know that and unless they have a really good reason to track you down, they're not going to go through the trouble of finding witnesses or otherwise building a case against you. If you weren't doing anything more serious than underage drinking, you probably don't have anything to worry about from the police.
Needless to say, though, it was pretty risky behavior. Running from the police carries the risk of getting caught, in which case you can kiss goodbye any chance of leniency or getting off with a warning. Cooperating with the cops is almost always your best bet. They don't generally get harsh with 16-year-old kids unless you give them a reason to.
