me a list of some sad songs that could help

Right now I'm listening to songs like:

Whats Left of Me- Nich Lachey
Stupid Boy- Keith Urban

thanks

You never know what you can find. It's really usually a hit or miss at thrift stores.

Ok so, my best friend is going out with the boy i like and she knew i liked him..she would ask me everyday at lunch.."Do you still like Matt??" and every day i would awnser "Yes" and then she turns around and goes out with him what do i do???

Talk to her, and explain your feelings. But don't harp on it again and again. Just let it go, your friendship should mean more to you then a boy and you shouldn't let it get in the way.

ok so a month ago i met this guy at my friend's party and we ended up making out and i barely even know him!! and i accidently told him that i loved him.. and then i asked him what were we and he was like oh a one night stand.. and i think he said that because he got scared because i told him that... and i still like him a lot.. i think about him all the time... well my question is should i still talk to him at the next party and try to get to know him? and not hook up with him or what?

It doesn't sound like he is interested and only wanted to hook up. I say move on. There are better guys out there, find one who treats you right and is intrested in more than hooking up.

haha alright so, i have never had sex. and i was just wondering...

1) does it hurt?
2) do you bleed?
3) are u supposed to shave down there? like everywhere down there, before you have sex?
4) if so..how? what do you use? because waxing must KILL.
5) is the guy supposed to shave down there?
6) how does he know where to put ...*it*?

thats all for now. thanks a lottttttt.

1) Sometimes yes...Sometimes no
2) Usually on the first time
3) It's your own decison, some people do, others don't
4) Use a new razor so it's sharp and lots of soap or shaving cream. Also shave at a downward angle.
5) Again...it's his own decision
6)It's not exactly rocket science...and if he can't figure it out he probably shouldn't be having sex..

My best friend Sarah just got a new boyfriend - he's only her second. All of the sudden she's been acting really different and I hate to say it but she's kind of a slut now, plus she smokes with him and does drugs and it's just not a good thing at all. Me and another girl called her out on it but she says that we don't understand and he's not really a bad influence and whatnot.

How can we convince her that he's not the right guy for her?

Unfortunalty... you really can't. Since you've said you've tried talking to her, you can do one of two things. One, you can sit back and let her make her own mistakes, or, two, you can get an adult involved. If she isn't in any real danger of hurting herself then I would just let her make her own mistakes. But when she realizes how stupid she is being...BE THERE FOR HER. Don't say things like "I told you so" just listen and help her pick back up the pieces of her life. If you feel that she is in serious trouble just go to to your guidance office and tell the counsler what is going on...the counsler won't tell your friend who told her about it, but your friend might figure it out and be mad...but she won't end up overdosing on drugs...

I have this assignment for my English class (related to Cyrano, if you've ever read it) where I have to somehow obtain 9 insults.

I've come up with one:

If Vogue ever does an ugly issue, you'd be on the front cover.

I am having a really hard time with these. If anyone can help, please do!

Oh, and no "your mom" jokes, and no fat jokes.

Please help; I've actually put in hours of sitting in front of a blank page.

Thank you!

If your brain was chocolate you wouldn't fill an M&M

The closest thing you'll ever come to a brainstorm is a light drizzle

Everybody has the right to be ugly but you’re abusing it

So its like 3/4s thru the basketball season and my shoes SMELL TERRRRRIBLE.

I tried putting little air fresheners in them...ive tried stuffing them with newspaper(read it in a magazine) and NOTHING works.

Im afraid to put them thru the washer because before it screwed up my last pair.

Anyone have ANY way to make them smell better???

Thanks!!!

Fill a nylon stocking with new kitty litter and put it in your shoes overnight. It should absorb the smell. You can also try putting your shoes outside overnight when it is really really cold to kill the bacteria.

my hair is very dry, and kind of thick. im sure there are a lot of people with the same problem. but i was wondering, what do you think is the best shampoo for me to use? like, to hydrate my hair and actually repair it, instead of causing it more damage. thanks =)

I think that the Herbal Essences' "Hello Hydration" works really well

Ok well i got what i thought was a yeast infection...but i kind of dont think it is one now... do you have any idea what this might be...
i had a white discharge that smelled a little not normal. It did itch it doesnt anymore. But its uncomfortable to have sex.

It could be a yeast infection or an STD if you've had unprotected sex. If you haven't then it is probably most likely a yeast infection and you can just buy one of those over the counter medications at a drug store. But if you have had unprotected sex the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor.

im looking into getting a job. im fourteen, so i could only work part time, on the weekends. on average, how much does dunkin donuts or stop and shop pay a part time worker, like someone who works just the weekends, like i would have to do, either per hour or per month.

thanks!

It depends on what state you live in but minimum wage is roughly about $6.50. If you work as a waiter or bus person at a resturant they pay you a lot less but you make up for it in tips. Unfortunaltly, it has been my experience that most places will not hire you until you are 16. You can try local diners, supermarkets, fast food chains too. Good Luck

We are going to have an Oregon-Oxford debate for one class and that's our topic. I'm for the birth control side. Meaning, having [premarital] sex is okay for as long as you use birth control methods(be it artificial or natural). I'm so sure that the opposition(Abstinence) will read us some biblical stuff and will probably tell us that no contraceptive is 100% effective.

Pleeeeease give me good and strong answers to these stuff because I (and my group) don't wanna look like a fool in front of everyone.

The best way to not look like a fool and to have a strong opposing arguement is to know and understand where the other side is coming from. So when they say that no contraceptive is 100% you can point out that while this is true, that using contraceptives greatly reduce the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. Or when they explain their postion using the bible and how sex should be between husband and wife, you can say that these viewpoints are outdated because most people wait until their late twenties or early thirties before they marry, where as in the past most people were married way before then.

how long does it usually take before you kiss someone...(nothing big...)

like i guess how long should you wait, so it's not like considered too soon¿

Well there isn't really an answer for this question. It really depends on the two people. I let my boyfriend give me a kiss goodbye on the cheek when we had only been dating a few days. And then maybe a small peck on the lips after a week or so. But we didnt make out or anything until after we had dated for more than a month.

15/f

right where my inner thigh meets my pubic area, some of my skin peeled off, and it's really tender and hurts alot.

it's not an std, and i can't go to a doctor or have my mom look at it cuz that's just wierd...

can someone tell me if this is normal?

It does not sound normal. Just show your mom...she has the same parts as you do...besides she IS your mother, and I'm sure she has seen you naked before. It could be from your underwear rubbing there or maybe your skin is irritated from the type of soap you are using. Whatever it is from you should show your mother.

5. Now click the browse button

6. A new window will appear. click the plus sign next to My Computer.

7. Now click the plus next to Local Disk
(C drive)

8. Click the plus next to Windows

10. Now click Next and finish

Your new font is now installed and you should be able to use it in all programs
