i have to admit it: i am addicted. addicted to something i could not live without since the day my sister gave it to me. i'm only 13 and i'm already addicted to something. i've seen what it does to people to be totally obsessed with something, but with me, it was so easy to get obsessed with... SOUR STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if there's something sour around, I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE IT!!! call me crazy (everyone else does!), but i am obsessed! while all my friends make weird faces when they take a lick of those warheads extreme stuff, i add lemon juice to make it more sour. i'm never satisfied! i even drink entire galssfuls of PURE lemon juice (nothing else added). i'm known for being really hyper as it is (i also have a laughing problem) and with all that sugar in sour candy... some kids are starting to joke around saying that i'm getting high. it's kind of funny but i honestly think that this could turn into a real problem. PLEASE HELP? don't say there's nothing wrong with this, because you have never seen me with sour candy within 50 feet away! and DONT tell me to give it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You seriously need to cut back. Lemon juice can erode the enamel on your teeth. Maybe cut down to once a week or something.

my mom has been really stressed. she was suppoesd to pick me up after school yesterday and she was late. no biggie, right? but later she admitted she's forgotten about me. i'd like to help relieve some of her stress. any ideas?
In addition to the other things everyone has mentioned, save up a few dollars and send her to get her nails done, a massuesse, or just away for a day. Any one of those things can be done for $20-50 if you shop around.

hi...sorry if this is long.
well ages ago i met a guy and fell instantly in love with him. he liked me 2 but i didnt have the courage to tell me and now hes moved on. were like best friends now; we bonded alot when i was living back at home in america. i never got on with my mom and he understood that an kinda helped me through it.
my mom hated me a lot and blamed me for her and my dads divorce. we argued too much and she was always tellin me she wishes i was dead. this guy, lets call him adrian, helped me thru it and always made me feel lots better.
i moved to england to be with him (as a friend) and now my mom is ill and wants me to go back to america to look after her. i realy resent her and dont think i could look after her properly. im also scared that if i go, 'adrian' will meet someone while im away and fall in love...and i will never have a chance to tell him how i feel.
what should i do?
btw i had planned on tellin him how i feel just as i left on the plane...but that would be mean although it would give him time to think bout everythin. what do you think?
rose, 18
I think waiting until you leave on a plane is mean and unfeeling. I think you should tell him how you feel right now, and what is going on between you and your mom. You will need some support even if it is from far away. He could possibly want to come with you to help.
Your mom might actually have had a change of heart. If she truly needs you, then you should go.
If only to know that you did the right thing by her even though she didn't treat you with the same respect. Surely she wouldn't ask unless she really meant it. If there is anyone else in your family that can check on her before you leave, I would do so. Then you won't have been blackmailed into a needless trip.

Hello,
I am going to be getting married later on this year, but I'm having a few problems that I hoped someone can help me with. My fiance wants a VERY small wedding, if he had it his way, no one would be there except the preacher, him, and me. I have a large family that I know would get offended if I didn't invite them to the ceremony. I want a medium-size wedding, but I'm on an extrememly tight budget as I am still in college and he just got out of the Marines. Do you have any advice that you can help me with? I want to have a wonderful wedding that both of us will like and can afford. Thank you!
Congratulations! I totally understand except I am the small family and he is the large one. Here's what I think should happen. Make a "dream list" of everyone you would love to have at your wedding. Get him to do the same (guess that wouldn't be terribly difficult). Then see how many you have and get an estimate on what that would cost you. Then make a few cuts off the list if you need too. If anyone says anything about being offended, just tell them the truth.
We are getting married in Sept. 2006 because we are determined not to owe anyone. I am planning to make my own party favors (which I really think will be fun) and possibly my own invitations. There are a few must haves that we will have to pay for, but ask anyone you can for help either monetarily or just labor. I am planning on working for the florist this summer in trade for flowers. We have a wedding savings account set up.
If you need some ideas, here is where you can start www.weddingchannel.com. But beware that you can get things cheaper locally in some cases. Wal-mart and Hobby Lobby are going to be your friends. Especially if you are either crafty or have a crafty friend.
Here are a few more things I have bookmarked: http://www.wednet.com/

ok, so ive been going out with this guy for a month. the thing is i think he likes me more than i like him. im only 14, this is the most serious relationship ive ever had, and when we kiss and stuff he says im the most amazing girl in the world and regularly texts me to tell me the same type of thing. he says spending time with me is the best thing ever, and he says his life would be pointless without me. which is great, if i felt the same way. dont get me wrong, i do really really like him, but he doesnt make me feel the same way as he says i make him feel. he's an amazing guy, he really is, he's sweet and funny and really kind but he's just not... the best looking guy in the world! i know that shouldnt make a difference, and its not like he's really ugly or anything, but am i being selfish by still going out with him even though i dont like him as much as he likes me? i dont want to break up with him because i love being in a relationship and i love the attention. i know that makes me sound like a really horrable person, but im not honest. im just a bit confused. help please.
You are not a horrible person. You just like attention, which is fine. Now, taking advantage of someone else just ot get stuff and being in a relationship isn't good. There are other people out there looking for both of you if you aren't happy in the relationship.
This is going to confuse you, but it is ok to like someone who you think likes you more. But if you don't like him at all or just a little bit, then you should probably think about dating someone else.
Don't be too worried about him finding someone else. He may feel like he can't go on, but that is normal, and he will be fine. You might be missing out on the guy of your dreams. And you are still young yet, so I would date some more before getting terribly serious.
I hope this helps.

Recently I started this kinda...relationship with one of my best friends (he's male, I'm female) and then I split up with him because it just wasn't working. I was happy after I broke up with him - I feel free, coz being with him I felt trapped. However, I keep wanting to read his live journal...I think this might be because I was friends with him so long so I can't just block him out (however much I try) and still kinda want to know what's going on with him...but what do you guys think?
There is nothing wrong with remaining friends after being in a relationship. Just tell him you were thinking about him.

Me and my boyfriend have been together 1-year-4-months today AND well we have not done ANYTHING sexual. well i want to lead on to start doing sexual things but i don't know how. can you guys explain your first times or how you lead on to doing sexual things for the first time
thanks-
confused..
There is nothing wrong with not doing anything sexual for a year, a month, an eternity. You two need to talk about sex: contraceptive, what are you going to do if you get pregnant, and would you even want to go there.
If you aren't adult enough to talk about these things together, then you aren't ready to have sex. And remember to tell him what feels good if you do decide to.

Ok so i recently signed up for myspace and have been going through old yearbooks and i ran into this girl i knew in junior high (im 18/m now) so i sent her a message saying she probably doesnt remember me but i went to school with her and just wanted to say whats up. she responded saying she doesnt remember me and im at a loss for how to respond. i was thinking of saying soemthing like "ok well i cant say im not disappointed but i didnt really expect you to remember me, if you ever wana talk about how much the school sucked or anything like that feel free to message me" but i was wondering if soemthing else maybe better. should i try to job her memory? should i reply with "oh well no big deal" or is there a even better response i have yet to think off? responses asap would be best. oh and not saying that romance is the last thing on my mind in this situation but it really isnt the reason, we were fairly good friends back then and i just wanted to get back in touch with her. thanks all for your help.
This gets worse as you get older. There are at least a dozen people that have come up to me and say "Didn't you go to Minor (our high school)" and I cannot remember them to save my life. It's embarrassing.
Maybe there was some hobby or club you were a part of. Or something specfic you liked to wear in high school. Or something stupid you did. Try bringing those up. If it doesn't work, don't feel too bad. Maybe you can become friends anyway if you share some common likes/dislikes.

Hello!! I hope ya'll can help me! I'm sorr its so long but its a long story!! Okay here is my scenario. My birthday was at the end of January, and my boyfriend had already been planning our Valentine's date. He asked me if it would be alright if he gave me my birthday gift along with my Valentine's gift because it would make it easier on him, so of course i told him yes. Well, On Saturday (which was our Valentine's day because i had to work Monday) he took me to dinner, then he blindfolded me and took me to... a hotel. BUT before you judge, it was very romantic. He had his friends come and light the candles he had set up EVERYWHERE and rosepedals, the whole deal. And we had planned to have sex for our first time, not necessarily then but we had stopped ourselves a couple of times because we wanted to wiat until it would be special. Which this was. Okay, well moving on, besides all of this, he didn't get me like flowers or a bear or even a card. I spent like $70 on him with gifts and whatnot. But i wasn't too mad because i assumed he had sent me a carnation at school (Our school has sales where you can buy a carnation for someone for V-Day and writea message and then we got them on Monday 9*) Well i of course sent him one, and i waited but he never sent me one. I went to his house after work and i brought over peanut butter heart shaped cookies (His fav!) and still nothing. This made me really mad because he didn't even get me a stinkin carnation!! I got pretty upset and left. Now am i overreacting? I mean he did spend money on me but i'm the type of person who appreciates little things like a flower or a box of choc, he didn't have to go buy a hotel or anything, i just wanted a carnation :( Lol, AND he still hasn't given me anything for my birthday!! Shouldi be mad?
There is a little miscommunication going on here. He must have spent a good bit of money ($200 probably) setting up the candles, roses, and room. Apparently you weren't mature enough for that kind of gift. I am not trying to make you feel bad. I am saying that you need to tell him that you appreciate all the extra effort he put into your Valentine's Day, but the next time he spends that kind of money, you would want it to be for a ring or a wedding night which you aren't ready for. Tell him how much you really had hoped you would get a carnation ro something smaller. Guys do not take hints; you have to ask for what you want.
And I wouldn't expect anything more than maye a card from him on your birthday since he spent so much money and told you up front that he wouldn't be buying you a present.
If you are lucky enough to still be together next Valentine's Day, tell him that all you want is a flower, a box of candy, and dinner with him. It's not begging; you will actually be doing him a favor.

ok, see i'm new at my school. I came here about a month ago. I'm a freshman in high school and about 3 weeks after i moved here, i met a junior at a party. He kissed me that night but i was really wasted. I didn't think much about it until he called me the next weekend wanting to hang out again. we just went over to his friends house and he ended up kissing me again. I have been having my doubts about him like if he's using me or whatever but when he kissed me, he asked me first and he didn't try anything else. Plus, i'm not a virgin and he is and he wants to wait... but then again he's a really popular guy and all and he could even get a senior if he wanted. that's why im so confused... i mean why would he want me?! well, we ended up not talking much after that and i heard from someone that he didn't like me. So i just figured i got used and didn't talk to the guy anymore. But he stopped me today in the hallway and told me he tried calling me this weekend but i was babysitting and that he really wanted to do something with me.... i just dont know what to do? i dont know if he likes me or what? i mean i really like him and all so i just dont know what to do? Please help me!! sorry so long but i rate! :)
It sounds like you two need to do a little more talking and a little less kissing for a bit. Maybe if you shared some coffee or something. He must like you a little bit if he keeps calling. Guys are pretty much what they present themselves as. The hard part is actually figuring out what you have and not being blinded by his good attributes.

okay my friends name is holly and her boyfriend's name is zach. theyve been going out since about december, maybe a little before. i basically set them up because they are honestly the perfect couple. its just that sometimes i feel like she prefers to hang with him over me. i was in the hall talking to her one day and then along comes zach and i was in midsentence. then she just walks away with him. I WAS IN MIDSENTENCE! she didnt say goodbye or anything. its sortof making me wonder. i dont know if its just jealously - but my other friends are noticing it too. honestly - they are perfect for each other. and i dont want them to break up. this past weekend we went to the movies and she asked if she could take him. i wanted it just to be us girls but finally she convinced me that he had to come. she said 'im only over his house today for two hours and i never see him' when she sees him everyday for at least like 2 hours. how can i let her know that she sortof needs to let him go, not break up, but detach herself from him when it comes to going out to the movies or anywhere with FRIENDS? im sorry this was so long, but i rate high! =) thanks so much
Oh yeah this has happened to me as the annoying friend with new boyfriend. Ok you might be a little jealous, but it would be nice if they weren't attached at the hip. I wish I could see my fiancee for 2 hours a day. Gee whiz. Try to get some face time with her away from him. Tell her how you are feeling. I doubt very seriously they would break up over you. Just tell her she is being an insensitive jerk.

is it dangerous to shave your arms? everyone at my school does it.. & i feel like im the only one who doesnt.. PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPP! ASAP ! I RATE HIGH
It's just a personal choice. It is not dangerous. I don't shave mine, and I don't even think about it. It's bad enough just trying to keep my legs shaved.

Ok...my bf is 19 and a really good guy. I am the frist long term gf he has had and I am afraid I am corrupting him. We almost had sex tonight (we both believe/ed in waiting till marriage) but only really stopped because I had to get home. I am afraid that I am going to drive him away even though its something he appears to want. How do I get him to give me a straight answer? I have asked but he just can't.
Don't do it if you really want to wait you can. It isn't easy and requires self discipline. There is nothing wrong with petting and kissing and stuff. And the longer you wait the more these other things mean and make you feel. I swear I melt everytime my fiancee touches me, and we haven't had sex.
And if you aren't going to have a good relationship, it isn't a good idea to have sex with him because if you become pregnant he might not support you. Which sucks, but it's true.

can a guy catch a yeast infection from having vaginal intercourse with his mate
Yes he can. It isn't as easy to spot in a guy. If you are concerned, check with your doctor. When I had one, the doctor prescribed a single pill to make sure he didn't get it.

I really want to change my religion, I am a Roman Catholic I just don't believe in their thoughs and such. I am not sure what I want to be. Does any oen have any past experience? Is it like a legal thing if you want to change religions; like you have to get papers? Any help or comments or info about other religions would be greatly appreiciated!
It depends on what religion you choose. For instance, I had to get a paper from my old church (which is baptist) to my new church (which is Melkite Greek Orthodox) that said when I was baptised. If I didn't have that, I would have been baptised again. Which wouldn't be a big deal, but I wouldn't want to if I didn't have to.
Try checking out the Greek Orthodox; they are little different than the Romans. Just enough that I didn't feel bad about changing.
I am taking classes in my new church to better be a part of the inner life of the Church. It will take a month or so to complete classes, but I am learning quite a bit. Before that I took classes on their version of the Creed.
The best thing to do is to go to different churches and see what their service is like. Try to talk to the pastor,deacon, or other church member about their church. Most people are more than happy to share. In the meantime, you can look here: http://www.mliles.com/melkite/index.shtml
There is nothing wrong with questioning what you believe. Sometimes you need to take the time for yourself to see what you think is right. I would suggest spending a goodly amount of time reflecting and reading the Bible before you change. I read the New Testament last Lenten season to figure out what I thought was right, and then attended services for almost a year before converting.

17/f/NY I'm in a filming class. We were filming yesterday at the subway station. There weren't many people around, and if there was it was mostly people who didn't speak much english, or homeless people (who most likely wouldn't know anything in the film industry). We chose to try and film without a permit since it was a non-profit high school film. But the thing is, people kept getting into our shots when we didn't want them there. Since we didn't have a permit, we didn't have the right to tell them to get out of our shot. It was only 1 or 2 people who would get in the way at one time, but still. So anyways, we would have to work around them. We would have to wait until the next train would come so they can get in the train and get out of our shot.
My question is, what is the thing people have to sign so they can be shown on camera (if they don't sign it, their face will be blurred out)? Is it something like "written permission consent" or something?
Because I was thinking, since most likely these people have no knowlege in film, or film rights, I could politely say to them "Excuse me, we're filming right here and since we don't have your [written permission consent] we actually can't have you in the shot...I'm sorry" (and most likely they'll move). I doubt they would have any idea what I'm talking about, all they know is that they can't sit there. The majority of the people during that time are homeless people, high school drop outs, or people who speak very little english.
What is it that you need to have signed in order to be shown on camera?
It's probably a video consent form. You would be wise to ask your teacher if there is one you can use, and have them on hand. Even if they have no knowledge of film rights, they can sue you for payment without this form. That is if you are using it for something other than educational use, and you are not entering it into the public domain.
Would it get you into trouble for getting a few cones and coning off the area you are using? If you aren't blocking access to a public area, you might be ok, but I do not know. Check with your teacher.

I am really worried about my fiance. He spends his money and doesn't worry about the consiquences that come along with it. This morning he found that he only had $8 in his account after he had just put in a check over $200. He depends on other people, such as his family to help him when he needs cash. I am not working right now because of school, but I plan to get a job as soon as possible. My fiance has bills to pay and I am worried that his money problems will hurt our future. I cannot imagine a life without him and I am not going to let money get in the way of our relationship; but I would like to see him be more responsible with how he spends. Even after people tell him including me he doesn't listen. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Welcome to the worldwide, my fiance doesn't know how to handle money problem. Have you talked to him about how much this is worrying you? I encouraged my fiance to make a budget based on his usual paycheck. He got with his sister and did it. He is paying down his credit cards and still has enough cash to live on. He actually brought up that we should start a savings account for our wedding; he has successfully put in about $200. Just tell him what you are thinking.

I saw someone ask a question about an itchy pubic area and someone answered with it could be `crabs`. Im scared i might have it!! what is it and how do you know if you have it?? what happens if you DO have it? Please help!! Where does it come from and stuff?
When you have crabs its like having needles stuck in your pubic hair. They are very very small little bugs kin to lice. I would suggest going to the doctor if it hurts really bad. They just use you as a hiding place and food. Usually it can be treated by using Rid. Another word for it is scabies. You can get it from having sex. There is a very small chance you could get it from a public toilet but it is unlikely.
