i have a big test tomorrow, and i unfortunatly procrastinated. ive hardly studied at all, and here i am on the internet..
does anyone know of any ways i can learn alot of stuff in a short period of time...???
-thnx (link)
|
the best way to study is talking aloud and moving around.
Make and organized and colorful study guide of what you need to know, then read it aloud over and over in different voices and rhyming and anything to make you remember it! and do this while pacing around the room! I know it all sounds ridiculous but BELIEVE me it totally helps! and you won't fall asleep while studying!

The other night me and my friends did a weejee board (not sure how spelt) and it really worked. It was sooo scary. We want to do it again, because these are people like my friends dads and uncles and stuff and they just wanna keep talking to them. Does anyone know if there are any risks of playing this game...or any important things i should know about it? (link)
| |
ouija boards are pretty controversial, and ofcourse there are no definite risks, but there are some things you should know. First of all, scientifically it is all bullshit but you have to decide what you believe. some people think that it is really dead spirits communicating, others believe that it is our own unconcious moving it, that doesn't mean that you are moving it on purpose, it's just that there are a lot of things that control our muscles and actions, and when we believe in something like that, chemicals are released in our brains that make us do strange things without realizing it. Either way, if you feel comfortable doing this, go ahead, but don't base your whole life and system of belief around a board game.

soo i have an imac idk what year but its pretty old but there was a game built in on there that i used to love called nanosaur and now we have a dell and i was wondering if there was anyway i could download nanosaur from the internet or something on to here. thanks. (link)
|
OMG I used to have an old mac with nanosaur on it and i played constantly! lol
since i'm not sure what exactly will work on your computer, just put "nanosaur download" into google and it'll come up with lots of option, try a couple and see if they work.
Good luck hatching dinosaurs!

This is a question for people who have social anxiety or know what it's about. I know I have it but i'm wondering it could be worse than just the normal social anxeity. I know many people who have it, but seem to run normal lives. For me my life is run by my anxiety. I'm afraid to awnser the phone, walk in front of people, go out with friends, talk to people, go to school, etc. It's to the extreme where latley i've been very anti social. I've been ignoring my friends for the past three months. I haven't been to school in two weeks. When people talk to me I avoid them. I sometimes wonder if i have paranoid shystco (can't spell that) Are these intense of things going on normal? Or are they more severe than usual. (link)
|
it's hard to say, what you described seems pretty extreme for SAD (soc. anx. dis.) , so you always could have something worse. My sister dealt with this, and it's always possible that you're basically going around in circles, what i mean by that is you're very nervous around people, but when you realize what your doing it just makes you more worked up. It's possible that your not doing actions as you descrube them, it just seems like everyone notices more than they really do.
I'm sorry I culdn't help more. If you really think it's bad, talk to your parents and your doctor or psychiatrist, he or she's the only person that can properly diagnose you. Other than that, I know a lot of this is out of your control, but you just have to take a big breath every so often and realize you're a person, and other people love your company and you can't be afraid of people just like you. I know that doesn't help much, but good luck

Okay, so this 19yr old guy is a foreign exchange student from Germany (duh) Haha, anyways he's really cute and seems uber cool. I'm 14 btw. Anyways, I want to talk to him more but I don't know what. He's in my math and gym class but other than that, there's nothing much to go on. Any ideas of what I can say or do to get him to notice me? Don't lecture me about age difference!!! Haha, but he sucks at math and in gym, we have diff. teachers so we don't see each other much. (link)
|
just don't be afraid to talk to him at ALL. He's an exchange student so it's probably pretty strange being in a new country. He will love being talked to. Also, you obviously don't have to learn german, that's ridiculous but go to a bookstore and get a little german language travel guide or something. Just a small book with helpful german phrases. Just memorize a couple cute ones and he'll be so happy and surprised when he hears you say something.

I stumbled across this site by accident. I seriously doubt many of you have the qualifications to give real people proper advice. After reading some of your responses to people's inquiries i was quite astonished as to how teenagers find they are able to give quality advice and information to real people in need with such little life experience. If you ask me you are not in a place to give your "personal opinion" when people truly believe you are giving them the right answer simply because you claim "people think i give really good advice". (eg. i am still at a loss as to how a 17 year old girl thinks she can give advice to someone regarding conceiving a child) I know you try to come across as a "godsend" to poeple who are in some sort of personal crisis and need a fast easy answer but the truth is, in the cases where it really counts, there rarely is one; at least not from you. (link)
|
i'm rather confused why you would ask this. is the fact the people are asking peers-older and younger-their opinions on real life problems really that horrible a concept to you? the idea of this site is that people get to chose what questions to answer, and most of the time a 17 year old WONT answer one about concieving a child. Advicenators has been really helpful for me as a teenager to get answers and opinions from people because there are ALOT of questions that I do not feel comfortable asking people in person.
You can't judge a persons life experience because of their age. People have very varried lives and levels of maturity

Hi. I love my body. I am a little shorter than 5 feet and about 90 pounds. I DO it like I am supposed to. Sure, I'm skinny. I love my butt, my boyfriend loves my butt. The whole world does. :]
I HATE my stomach. When I lay down or suck in, I LOVE it.
How can I make my stomach look like that?
I don't need a diet. Maybe an exercise plan?
I don't want like tone or anything. I want it to look flat, and thin and cute like when I lay down.
How can I do that?
Thanks.

you don't need to go on a diet, but it would help to decrease how much fat you eat. Also, what the other person said about exercises isn't really going to help you. 5-10 crunches is going to do absolutely nothing, and buying a stomach pad is a waste of money. What you need is a big exercise ball, rest your back, right below shoulderblades on it, and do 15 crunches straight, 15 rotating to the right when you go up and 15 rotating to the left. make sure to keep your neck straight rather than curling it like you're doing a somersault. Also, if you don't have a ball, lay down on your back and do reverse crunches, so that you raise your but and lower back up rather than your head. also try crunches while keeping your legs folded indian style, or lay on your back, and straighten your legs, and do crunches while keeping them about 6 inches from the floor.
If you actually do these, you'll see a difference.

some of the people at my school say im ugly how can i get pretty i have some acne and im ugly how can iget pretty for people to like me better (link)
|
your question isn't just about tips for looking pretty, you're obviously self concious, and you need to realize that it's ridiculous for people to dislike you because you're not beautiful. Try to be around people who aren't this superficial and mean.
But anyways, if you want to look a little prettier, start by finding a good face wash, such as proactiv, if you want something cheaper just get a generic acne wash, there are tons of them. Also, get some concealer/powder/coverup,,,something that makes acne less visible, but also doesn't clog your pores.
just take care of yourself, don't overdo it with the makeup but use some if you wnt, brush your hair, and you'll be fine. Eventually people will grow up and realize you can't determine a person because of their face.
Good luck, stay positive

what are those laptops called.. theyre by apple, and theyre like that clearish-white color and then they have some other color on them like teal or lime green or whatever. theyre not new theyve been out a few years i think, but i looked on the apple website and couldnt find one. can anyone give me a link or name or something? (link)
|
the ones you're thinking of are ibook g3's. They are very old, so they definitely aren't making them anymore, you'de have to buy one on ebay or something. May I ask why you're looking for it? they are pretty slow and most programs and applications don't work on them anymore. if you want an apple laptop get a macbook, macbook pro, or look for an iBook G4 on ebay used or something, they are a lot better, but if you are looking for that other one because it is cheap, just get a cheap PC.
but if you really want the colorful one, that's an Apple iBook G3

I like this guy and im not sure if he likes me back. We have one class together and lunch, and when we have our study hall instead of the class he always sits next to me and wants me to tell him who i like. He always wants me to go to his matches and he has a girlfriend. I don't know if he likes me please help! Im a 14/f (link)
|
This kid probably likes you, if he didn't, he wouldn't be that curious who you liked. Next time he asks just say "YOU!", smile a little a go back to work. don't act all shy and stuff, just tell him! he obviously wants you to
and tell me how it goes!
ABOUT THE GIRLFRIED:
first see what happens with the guy, once you know he likes you, if he kisses you or anything, kiss him back, but then ask him whether he's going to make a commitment and break up with his girlfriend. if he is, then tell him you can't go out and stuff until he's oficially broken up, and then (you may not feel comfortable but i suggest this if his girlfriend was really mad and is going to hate you) talk to her and just say, that you're really sorry if there are any hard feelings, and if she really likes him you'll stay away. This is kinda reverse psychology, because she's not gonna say that she still wants to be wit him, she is gonna be mad at him, so therefore she has no reason to hate you or spread rumors or anything, since she gave you the OK!
That might have been kind of confusing, sorry, that's just what i'd do
tell me what you think

hi im 14 f and my bf is pressuring me into having sex but again not married ad it totally against my beliefs and i cant let him get to me wat shud i do? (link)
|
DON'T LET HIM PRESSURE YOU INTO HAVING SEX
There is absolutely no good that will happen in screwing him because he wants it. If you don't want to have sex and it is against your beliefs, then I guarantee you will regret it 100% if you do have sex now. If all this guy cares about is sex, then he obviously doesn't like you enough to actually appreciate you as a person, rather than just a body. Talk to him, and if he knows how you feel, he may stop pressuring you. If he doesn't, then he isn't worth it and you should dump him. Sorry to be blunt, but you shouldn't waste your time in a relationship where you aren't respected, find someone else.

i have hair like yours, a cute thing to do is just take the front mid section, right above ur forhead in the middle, and pull it back and clip it, i'm not sure if you know what i mean, but it's really easy, simple and changes your look up a little. also add accessories, like retro headbands, and cute subtle ribbons

"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground, that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think that there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. That is why we just have to be a little patient and the right boy, the one who takes a chance to find the good, right apple will come someday."
This quote is totally true. There is TOTALLY nothing wrong with you...the truth is, dating at your age doesn't even matter that much. I mean, yes it matters, but in the long run, who you meet when you're 14 is not who you're gonna marry anyway, so just don't stress about it! you've got tons of years ahead of you, just focus on school and your friends, and pretty soon you'll meet a guy who's crazy about you. I promise, as long as you're patient, it'll happen, and when it does it'll be better than any little thing that could ever happen when you were a preteen.
As for your friends, just tell them you have other priorities, and if they don't think you're worried and desperate, they'll actually respect you a lot more than you'd think.
I hope that made sense and helped! good luck, just don't worry too much.

what states accept florida prepaid college? or rather, what colleges would accept a transfer of funds? (link)
| |
i have no idea, and most people probably won't either so i suggest a website like collegeboard.com with lots of info like that. I don't mean to be unhelpful, it's just not a fact that many people know.

What is the difference between thrush and discharge? Can anyone please explain what thrush is please.. and how it is caused?
Thanks a bunch :) (link)
| |
BIG DIFFERENCE. Discharge just comes out of ur vagina, thrush is a yeast fungus that is in your mouth. It's just sort of an infection that won't last forever, but if you think you have it, ask your doctor
|
can you upload dvds that you have like put the dvd in your computer and then like open it with itunes so that the movie is on your ipod??
thanks (link)
|
nope, it's not that simple. the only pay to put videos on an ipod is to buy them from itunes store or download programs such as handbrake that rip DVD's, which is basically just copying the movie onto ur harddrive. you can google it and find programs that rip.
hope that helped

I don't understand this. Many people are beginning to say X-mas. Well, the whole point of Christmas is because it is the birth of Christ. Isn't calling Christmas X-mas taking the whole point of Christmas away? (link)
| |
what exactly is ur question? why are people calling it x-mas? obviously because it's shorter and easier. also, it's sad but true that christmas is turning into a hallmark holiday that only focuses on consumer products and commercialization. what exactly do u wanna know?
