hey 13/f

all my fiends that i hang out with have all kissed a guy at some stage i feel really left out and stuff sometimes and they treat me like a baby..i just want to get it over and done with but want to like the guy as well
Please help me!!!
thanx mwa

Ok, first of all, calm down.
It's really no big deal. I didn't get my first kiss until I was 14 almost 15. It dosen't matter, because it really isn't all the great. It's just a kiss, nothing more. And don't rush into it, or else you'll end up kissing some loser and you'll regret it forever. Just wait, and your time will come.

So I signed up for itunes because my friend told me how you could download "Greek" early, even though it premieres today. (By the way, it's a good show everyone should watch it!)
I didn't have an account, so I made one, but I didn't want to put my credit card info, so I just used my PayPal account.
Anywaysss is there anyway to remove my PayPal account from the iTunes account, wihtout having to put in my credit card?
15/f if that matterss...

Well I don't think so, but Greek is free to download anyways.
So it isn't going to charge your credit card or anything.
Or you could make a new account.
But either way, you're gonig to need credit card information.
And it is a good show. =D

i am going into my second year of college and i need to pick a major soon...i am going to san jose state. i hav no idea what i want to do these are my interests:

art
decorating
taking pictures
making collages
colours
flowers
being outside
being active
weight lifting
some areobics/cardio like running
looking at different outfits
animals

any suggestions on what i could do with these skills and interests??? thanks so much!!

Have you ever considered interior design?
I think it owuld be good for you, because it uses art, decorating, making collages (sometimes maybe), and colors. It can even include being outside if you decided to decorate a deck or patio or some sort?
Or maybe a fashion photographer?
Or an art, fashion (some schools like mine offer fashion classes) or gym teacher?
We had this website we used in one of my career prep type classes, where we took a survey and it gave us the top 100 jobs that include our interest.
I'm not sure exactly what site it was, and you need a password but I found this one which seems nice, too =]

im 15/f. never had a boyfriend or kiss :(. i feel like time is running out for me to just experiment. like i never got to go through that phase of a boyfriend for a week and then dump him. (not that i really wanted to.) i feel like by time i get a boyfriend, he'll be expecting more from me than i've experienced. im not going to let him pressure me into doing anything but im just saying. i really dont even know what im asking advice for, but i guess i just need help on how to cope with this situation?

Don't worry about it. Your time will come.
You're not 'runnning out of time' because you're only 15. I know people that haven't had
a boyfriend/kiss yet.
And don't worry, guys just complicate things sometimes anyways.
Like I said, don't worry about it, your time will come. Everything will work out just fine =]

Watch that video

HOW ON EARTH DID HE DO THAT.
I know he is an illusionist but oh my god. holy crap.
How did she SURVIVE that?! Did he put her back together too? She just crawled away...!?
Please, can someone please tell me how he did that.

He's Criss Angel.
He's amazing, duh =]
Anyways, I read online somewhere that the woman was born with a medical condition that caused her to have no legs. Then, they put a (I'm drawing a blank for the word) person who can bend down and put their legs like that on the other end.
Either way, it was still really cool!

Hey. Does anyone know what song they use in the ABC family's comercial for the new show Greek?

It's "Our Time Now" by Plain White T's.
Trust me, I'm a hugeungous fan =]

Okay well im a girl and i am 13 and i love guys and on the other hand i love girls to i mean i have been with a girl and i have been with a guy and my friends think im just experamenting but the truth is i think i manely like girls. So i think im a lezbian. But when i told my friends this they went balistic and were like " Your a lez?" " you should die i mean you need to be straight like us, i dont wanna be seen with a freaky lez" and that was a direct quote. So can you help me with the way i feel on how there treating me?
love,
ShOuLd I lIkE gUrL's?if its gunna make me loose friends?

You're only 13.
You might be gonig through a phase.
You're not fully mature, and you're expirimetning.
It's fine.
I wouldn't classify yourself as a lesbian or bi becasue you're so young.
Wait until you matture and what not to make a decision like this.
And if your friends don't support you, they aren't very good friends. I'd sit down and talk to them about it. Explain to them that it shouldn't affect the friendship you've built and you aren't even 100 percent sure if you're bi/lesbian. Good Luck!

Okay, so i just got a new s/n for AIM, but i don't want to have an email account through it. is there a way to get rid of the email account, but have the s/n?

I don't think so.
But the email account isn't a big deal.
You can turn off the pop up it gives you everytime you sign on by going to your settings =]

i have been doing EVERYTHING to lose weight lately! i have worked out most days of the week and on days i dont work out, im always up doing somethinglike cleaning. i have even gone down to eating 1000 calories a day, but i havent lost any weight! its driving me crazy! what gives??? im 138lbs. 14/f 5'9"

You're perfect the way you are silly!
You're BMI is 20. Anything from 20-22 is perfect and ideal for your height and age.
If you lose weight, you'll be underweight and could get sick. Just stay how you are =]

ok well im looking for a way to earn money. and my dad recommended selling them little flipping things on the soda cans. well i was wondering where you could sell them like in north carolina, (and how much do you get for each one) thanks alot.

My friend used to do this, though we're in Illinois, and she brought them to Mcdonald's.
She got either 5 or 10 cents for each one.
I'm not sure exactly where you'd bring them, but you can try looking for something online.
You'll probably find something, because a lot of places collect them.
Good Luck!

Okay I just uploaded pics on my Ipod Nano, but there's no category on the main screen called "Photos." Where are the pictures??

The main screen on the iPod or the iTunes?
If iTunes, it's on the top along with music, podcasts, etc.
On the iPod, you go to settings - main menu - then click photos.
Go back to the main menu, and there should be a photos option.
Good Luck!

me and this guy i like talk every once in a while on IM and we always end up saying 'so....' then we like dont talk again until one of us has to go, i always try bringing up stuff but it never lasts long, any ideas to keep the conversation going?

I just say random things.
Ask him what music he's into or something.
Ask about his day, and how he's doing.
Just don't say "so..."
Just say whatever comes into your mind. haha.
Good Luck =]

I want people's opinions on this. Do you think people should wait to have sex until their married. Do you think People would regret it? I mean because like youve waited and now your wondering like "what would it feel like with someone else?" On the other hand i hear people having sex when there 14 and having STDS and they probably should've waited. idk

Opinions?

I myself believe in no sex until marriage.
I'm a virgin and I think it is disgusting when I hear people at my school, especially when it's every other day, saying how last night "I went all the way with so&so". I think you should wait because, like you said, you can get stds.
Or what if you get/get a girl pregnant.
Then you've just thrown away the rest of your life, because you have a child to take care of.
I believe when you wait until marriage, then sex is fine. Because you are commited to that person, and you know you truly love them.
Unlike if you were to go do somebody now, and then look back and think on your wedding day, "I regret it, because it wasn't love. I wish I would've waited, because I know now that it is love."
I hope this helps.

14/f

im thinking about getting a haircut soon. i like the scene(i know scene is a lifestyle and all that, so i dont need a big explanation on how scene isnt a label or a clique, thanks)/edgy type hair styles, but not super scene like spiked in the back, things like that. kind of a toned down scene, if you know what i mean lol. this is a picture of what my hair basically looks like now.. http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h261/Briana1254/?action=view¤t=l_b52455dd1c105982194267225c95ffb3.jpg

specific pictures or websites if you could, please!=] i dont care what the hair color in the pictures is, because im not dying my hair or anything. i want to keep my bangs basically like they are. i dont really care about the length, just not like boy short.

thanks!

How about bangs like this:
http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u248/whitpay/Scene%20Hair/?action=view¤t=1013936119muz7.jpg

or

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u248/whitpay/Scene%20Hair/gorgeousscenegirl.jpg


Or, instead of full on bangs, some sort of side bangs like one of these:
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u248/whitpay/Scene%20Hair/1469668813_l.jpg

or

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u248/whitpay/Scene%20Hair/l_1872a0a58c9dfd425fedb7789fb562eb.jpg

Those are just some I found that I thought looked cute =D
Personall,y I think the third picture I sent would look great on you.
Good Luck & Hope this helps!

Hey I don't know who to ask but I really like this guy and we are close friends and I've told him before that I like him but we did'nt get together. I want him to notice me as girlfriend material. How do I do subtle things that will slowly turn him on? I can't do kissing on the neck or sitting with a short skirt on. I wanna be classy but seductive how do i do it i thought you would probably know. Help as much as you can please. Thank you =.=

You thought I'd know? lol.

Ok, well the main thing is to smile.
Show him that he makes you happy.
Laugh at his jokes, even if some aren't funny.
Play with his hair a little.
Compliment him, tell him he smells nice, looks nice today, etc.
Also, play fight with him.
But don't make yourself look desperate or anything...Just show him you're interested.
Start out with the laughing & smiling.
Move to complimenting and play fighting.
Then, after you've dropped some hints, maybe hold his hand. That's a major way to show him you're interested. Or, if you're sitting next to him, rest your head on his shoulder.
Don't flirt with other guys around him, either.
And don't literally tell him you like him, at least not at first.
Just start flirting with him and see if he gets the hint ;]
Hope this helps && good luck!
