"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."
I'm an optimist. I can find the beauty in anything. I'm creative. I love spontaneity, peace, & parties. I'm the farthest thing from shy. There's not one person on this earth that I don't care about. I like deep conversations, change, & random acts of kindness. Every emotion I feel is ten times as strong as yours. I have alot of empathy for other people. I'm real open minded & liberal. All I want to do is make at least one person's life a little easier. :D
advice
i know a lot of you guys are probably gonna tell me i dont need to lose weight
and everyone calls me tiny so im not gonna tell you how much i weigh
but since everyone is calling me tiny and skinny and wish they had my body
i feel like i NEED to be tiny
but i still feel like im chunky
so if anyone has anything to help me to lose weight that would be great
and also i need something that will work fast
im going to Florida in February
14/f
oh my lord.
don't you dare go anorexic on us.
it's not healthy.
if other people say you are tiny, i'm sure you are. i used to think exactly like you, but you wrong. i'm sure you aren't overweight by a single pound.
there's no way you can lose weight that fast unless you go on something called a crash diet & i pray to God i did not just remind you that you could do that & that you already knew, but weren't crazy enough to do it. crash diets are dangerous.
i know you're going to probably give me like a 2, but i'm just trying to warn you.
okay well i'm 13 & the guy i like is 16. is that bad?? like he gives me signs that he likes me too but all my friends are going "laura, he's 16." & i go "so?". i just want to know if that is too much of an age difference.
alot of people say age is just a number.
yeah, okay.
keep in mind though, every single guy is different. these people don't even know him. so, we have no idea which type he is. i sometimes agree with that 'age is just a number' thing & all but with our world today...? i disagree most of the time.
here's a little warning though:
most guys out there dating girls 3 or more years younger than them only want one thing & it is NOT a conversation with you.

okay, so heres the deal. i always know when im about to get a sore throat, i feel my throat acting weird a few days before, and i get chapped lips. well i got that sign yesterday and its a little worse today, but im not totally sick yet. i have something important to do saturday, so i need something to stall my sore throat until late saturday or something. ive been drinking alot of orange and grapefruit juice for the vitamin C and ive been using chap stick for my lips and everything. i need something to stall/eliminate this cold or whatever it is, so please, if you know anything that will help let me know asap. home remedies are great also! early answers are appreciated
THANK YOU!
i just sort of skimmed through the answers below me looking to see if anyone said this, but i don't think any of them did.
okay, orange juice + a sore throat = pain.
it burns your throat because of some type of acid that's in ti.
milk is also something you shouldn't drink.
it makes the mucus thicken. yes, i know that may sound gross, but you'll live.
i don't know if you've ever heard of this, but there's something called Chamomile tea. it helped if your throat is irrated/hurting.
directions:
steep 1 teaspoon dried chamomile in 1 cup of hot water & strain it. then let it cool to lukewarm and gargle as often as you need to.
vitamin C tablets are also good to take because it builds up your tissues to fight the germs that are making your throat sore.
throw away or wash your tooth brush in the dish washer because it keeps the germs in there & everytime you put it in your mouth, that's where the germs go -- to your mouth.
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?
sajdhasjgda. i despise ignorant people & i doubt i just spelled that right.
sarah wants to fit in. she's a slut because whenever she's doing stuff with her boyfriend or other guys, she doesn't even know it cause she's on the stupid drugs.
she hasn't listened to you in the past, so you can either give up on her or stay with her. i would stay with her, but talk to her parents about & make sure that they don't tell her who is telling her everything.
i hate to do this because i HATE (not strongly dislike. HATE.)drama & people who start crap. you can make up something. like tell her that you saw her boyfriend making out with another girl or something. that'll piss her off so much, she'll probably break up with her. i would feel horrible if i did that, but it sounds like the situations bad enough that you need to do it. =/
good luck.
This is a wierdd question... but I can't find it anywhere!
Anyways -- I'm 14/f in case that matters, but I was wonering, how do you slap a guy's butt? Do you do it hard or what? And how do you make it not awkward?
ahahaha!
panic, whoever you are, i love you. haha!
i like & i agree with that last part that you added about the hobo. =]
if whoever asked this is being serious, then just .. wow.
personally, having someone come up to me & do that would scare the crap out of me.
my suggestion on this, is to just not do it.
it's .. weird.
so0 me and this kid went out.. and we relle liked each 0ther.. and u can say we l0ved each 0ther..and all his friends ( girls ) hatedd me s0 they made him break up with me.. first the girls yelled at him and pushed him into lockers and threatend to punch him in the face if he went out with me but he just stayed with me and tryed to ingore it.. but in a cuple days they continued to hurt him and shit so he br0ke up wit me cusz 0f them.. he still likes me alot but kant take them anymore.. ii relle like him and i dunno wat to do !
pahahahah.
jealous violent morons.
one of them had liked him & you were screwing things up for whichever one it was, so they all teamed up & tried to find a way to get rid of you. there's normally a reason for girls acting as immature as that & hating you. & my guess is that what i just said was right.
screw the jerks; GO OUT WITH HIM! if they continue to harass him or whatever people call it, go to the counselor.
please don't use 0 for o.
there's only one "i" in the word i.
& relle is not a word.
neither is kant.
or tryed.
or wat.
don't freak out about that last part; i'm just telling you. cause on the FAQ it says not to do that or they delete your question. so in the future, don't type like that please.
ok, so i'm 15/f and i have never gone out on a date, been asked out, kissed, asked to dance, anything. I'm pretty -sort of, not extremely outgoing, but not totally shy either, i can be a bitch sometimes but overall i'm nice, i'm kinda crazy acting though, anyways I think my problem is confidence, i think that the only way anyone would ever like me is if i were amazingly beautiful and skinny, is this true? i think it's hurting my self-esteem because everytime i like someone i think, well they can't possibly like me back because i'm not as pretty as so-and-so.
what should i do?
this is going to sound incredibly retarded.
buuuuuuuuut, the way that I made my two best guy friends who I love very much (as a friend at the moment) is by giving them gum.
haha, like in math last year i think they asked me for a piece of paper or something, so i gave them both a sheet of it. they're probably the funniest person you'll ever meet in your life, so i would always crack up laughing at everything they'd say. obviously, i guess guys like that. cause everytime they'd say something funny & i'd turn around, laugh, & smile at them then they'd look at each other & smile or something.
i always chew gum, so i'd turn around sometimes & ask them if they wanted a piece or something & they'd say yes. i also wasn't like incredibly smart or anything. i guess you could say i suck at math -- haha -- so the one who liked me was on the smarter side & i'd always ask him for help.
so, you can act clueless -- i didn't have to ACT though, i seriously was clueless. -- & turn around & say simple something like..
ughh, i don't get this. can you help me?
or something that's a LITTLE bit of a conversation...
god, i hate this class. i don't understand any of this crap. haha. do you get it?
*wait for him to answer & if he says yes..*
oh, can you help me?
here's what happened to me & how i got MY confidence.
my NOW best guy friend was talking to some other kid & they were listing the hottest girls in the class & i was third. (haha, i think they were just bored. i have no idea.) So, that made me confident enough to know that i didn't have to feel like i was ugly or that he would think i was weird if i started a conversation with him.
Get one of your friends who knows a guy you think you sort of like or think would be easy to make friends with what they think of you. If it's good, just go up to them and start talking.
Just start saying hey whenever you see some guy you think would be easy to make friends with.
oh & if you're wondering why me & the kid never went out, i didn't really want a boyfriend at the moment & when i was finally ready, he decided to be homeschooled for some gay reason. but for you .. it'll work out i bet.
=]
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 =)
is there a Kelli Paul Hair Salon near you?
go there & ask for the deep conditioning treatment. i love that place more than anything on earth, haha. if there is a Kelly Paul near you & you go there & get the deep conditioning treatment, sneak a look at what they're using. when i went there, i tried to look, but i couldn't see. whatever it is .. it's AMAZING. my hair was so silkly & soft even after he highlighted, blow dryed, & straightened it. my hair was extremely damaged before .. you have NO idea. just a little warning, it MIGHT cost alot. i'm not sure though.
if you don't have that, just go to a nice hair salon, get an inch or two cut off to get rid of the dead/split ends & try out their deep conditioning treatment. try Paul Mitchell's stuff for dry or damaged hair. redken's deep conditioning also works really well.
How can achieve the curly hair i want? My hair is naturaly wavy but has started becoming dull & straight from past straighteners i used. Geling my hair is completely out of the question (i think it makes hair look oily, messy, and just all around gross)! I tired a variety of mousses and shampoos but nothing seems to work! The only way i can "kind of" get my hair to look curly is if i sleep with braids (but that isn't the look i'm going for). So please help me, is there anyway i can get my hair to look nice, full, thick, and cury/wavy without it getting tangly and knotty! I don't have enough time to sit there and actually curl my hair with a curling iron but it you have a good iron to suggest please tell me or even other shampoos, conditioners, & secret tips! Thank-you so much :]
SCRUNCH IT!
wavy hair looks so cute when it's scrunched. everytime i do it, i get at least ten different people come up to me saying, "Wow, I LOVE your hair! hah, how'd you get it like that?!?"
then the next day, when i come back to school, I see like five girls who have attempted to scrunch their hair like i had mine. well, let's just say it didn't work to well. haha.
i use John Frieda. =]
first, use the Curl Around shampoo.
second, use the Curl Around conditioner. (Leave it on for ONE minute.)
DO NOT BUY THE HAIR SERUM! unless of course, you want incredibly greasy & weighed down hair. =]
third, squeeze some of the water out by with just your hands.
fourth, wrap your hair around in a towel (DON'T RUB YOUR HAIR WITH IT!) until it is damp & not dripping wet and comb your hair (DON'T WORRY IF YOUR PART ISN'T PERFECT!).
fifth, spray some time of hair spray in your hair from middle ways to the ends (DON'T SPRAY IT ON THE TOP PART OR IT WILL LOOK GREASY!). i would suggest Dove Extra Hold.
sixth, turn your head upside down & flip your hair over. put the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Corrective Styling Mousse in your hands & run it together. once again, don't put it where your roots are unless you want your hair to be weighed down & greasy.
seventh, run your fingers through your hair so that the mousse is distributed pretty even around all of your hair (except the roots).
eighth, pick up a small handfull of hair and push it up towards your head. hold it there for a few seconds.
ninth, continue scrunching (pushing your hair up towards your head) & blow dry your hair with the heat setting on low or medium (it's better to be on low). When it's on high, it can damage your hair overtime & medium can do it sometimes also. just to be safe, put it on low.
tenth, look in the mirror. someone's gonna have hair that'll make everyone jealous. hmm, i wonder who that could be?
I have been coughing horribly for 3 straight months! I went to my doctor and he said it was allergies mixed with acid reflex. He gave me medicine for both, and my acid reflex has gotten A LOT better but I'm coughing even more now! It sounds worse too, and I cough up mucus every time(yes, I know it's gross). Does this mean it's getting better or what? I can't go to the doctor again because my step dad thinks I'm a hypocondriac.
ohh. god, that sucks
i used to do that. except mine was for two years. yeahh, i hated it so much. one time when i went back to the doctor, they gave me some inhaler thing that i took before i went to bed & a different one for during the day. nope, it wasn't asthma. i forgot what it was; it might not have even been called anything. but, you can tell your doctor that you know someone who's had the same problem as you & they gave them an inhaler & now their cough is gone & you can see if they'll give you something like i had.
so i have had this sore throat for like.. 5 days now. it only hurts my right tonsil. and its not even like a regular sore throat. it hurts the most in the morning & i usually dont feel it during the day unless i swallow. but when i do, it feels like someone is stabbing my right tonsil with a pencil or something. i wake up with these really like.. pressure-ish headaches on the top of my head. i usually only get headaches on the sides of my head. also, i know this sounds gross.. but whenever i sniffle and then swallow, i can feel like.. all of the snot. and gross loogeys like in my throat
does any1 know what my problem is?!
strep, strep, strep, strep, strep, strep, strep, strep, strep, strep, STREP!
god, i despise strep. i'm getting my tonsils out in a few weeks though. =]
yeahh, i seriously doubt that you care.
anyways, i've had strep 5-8 times a year, so i know what i'm talking about. & trust me .. IT'S STREP!
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/print/ency/article/000639.htm
go there. it has a list of more symptoms & it tells you what to do.
like it says .. go to the doctor.
- Ear infection
- Sinusitis
- Mastoiditis
- Peritonsillar abscess
- Rheumatic fever
- Glomerulonephritis
- Scarlet fever
are all options of what could happen if you don't go soon & get treated.
Ok, well i have a friend who likes this guy. Two of my other friends were trying to get that guy to guess who liked him because they already knew. Well the girl who likes the guy (we can call her shelby) the guys name ( we can call him max). My two other friends named (cassie and katie) were talking to eachother about how shelby liked max. Well this guy came up to me and said "do you know who likes max?" i knew but i wasn't going to tell him. i said "yeah but i am not going to tell." He begged and begged and begged and i finally said "Joe i am not telling you!" Then he asked "Is it shelby?" I just looked down at my work and he said "It is is'nt it?" I still didnt say anything. Then he finally said "dont worry i wont tell anybody." I said "ok dont tell anybody and keep it a secret. Then shelby found out that i told him and was really mad at me and cassie becasuse when cassie was talking to katie about it she accidentaly slipped and said shelby's name so shelby forgave cassie because she knew it was an accident but she thinks i told joe but actually he guessed it and i know that i should of not gave it away but o well it's to late now. But i wrote her a letter telling her what happened and i dont know if she is mad at me or not. I know she thinks i should of said no when joe said shelbys name but i didnt really think. Sheould i be the one who she is mad at or did i do anything wrong? I dont know if i am the bad person in the situation or good. Please help!
did he freak out when he found out?
nope.
Was he happy?
i don't know. was he? if he was, that probably means that he likes her, which was doing Shelby a huge favor.
if she stays mad at you, tell her to go to anger management. just kidding .. that would piss her off more. she shouldn't be mad at you .. or anyone else. she needs to just chill and no, you didn't do anything wrong. you had no clue he was gonna guess her and you didn't want to say the wrong thing.
there is these 2 boys in my class and they stare at me and my friend all the time but they look me in the eye they deny that they like me online.but they wont talk to me in person its like theyre scared too.one of the boys talks to the other one about where they live but the other boy already knows where he lives.they also talk about other girls like trying to get me jealous or something he says " i wanna go out with " so and so but i dont know what hes tyring to do ... do you think he likes me ? or my friend what other signs would a boy do if they liked me ? my friend and i pass notes back and fourth and they try to look do they like me ?also one of them did a nod thing i dont know what it means and i asked him on here why he dosent talk to me in school he said i dont know on here and in art class he pulls up his shirt and his friends are at my table and he talks to them alot and stares at me he looks me in the eye but he has a gf theyve been together since june 05
Greeen mascara: he gets up at lunch time and looks over at my table do you think he likes me ? i dont know what he is trying to do he nods at me ... he told me on here that he nodded to me in school and i turned my head .. if i knew that i wouldnt have also he seems to follow me around school. i dont know whats up with him my bestfriend thinks that he likes me but no1 knows he will only talk to me online not in person it seems like he is scared . if anyone can please help IM me on greeenmascara thanks !!
err.
he has a gf? since 05?
hm, that means they're kind of serious.
maybe he's tired of her though.
yeah, you can look at one of my answers to a question kind of like this. i can relate to you cause of my best friend last year. he had a girlfriend, yet he would always flirt with me. his best friend even told me he liked me. but you know what? i didn't care. you know why? okay, if a guy has a girlfriend and is flirting with someone else, then that's not fair to his girlfriend. just cause she isn't around doesn't mean that they can do whatever they want. what makes me or you any different? he'd just do the same thing to me because i'm not gonna magically change his personality.
sometimes when guys do what the kid your talking about is doing, they're looking for a back-up girl in case their current relationship doesn't work out, so be careful.
it sounds like he likes you, but still. it's not right for a guy to do that to his girlfriend, so if he breaks up with her & asks you out, be careful and make the right decision ..
remember though. if he breaks up with you, you've already made another enemy -- his ex.
now if i were her, i would be pretty pissed off.
you never know what she can do. if they stay friends, she might make up shit to get you two to break up.
good luck & i hope everything works out okay.
okay right now me an my friend are doing DDR
when we get done we plan to drink hot cocoa
but then what?
we want to stay up all night
any ideas
anything will help
its only 2 people

all suggestions are acceptable!!!
yours truely
mistywasgreat
- go up to your room & listen to music for a little while.
- prank call people you know & say retarded stuff in a weird voice like, "I HAVE MUFFINS FOR BREAKFAST!" or something.
- pick a movie you guys can agree on & watch it & eat popcorn.
- if you have a video or digital camera you guys can make stupid videos.
EDIT:
oops; sorry! i forgot to tell you how to make sure that they don't see your number. just put in *67 before the number and it'll come up as private on their caller id.
well, hope you have fun!
To all the guys on this site...when you like a girl, not just thinking she's hot but actually liking her, how do you show her? for personal reasons of confusion is my wonder. thanks in advance for the input.
god, it gets on my nerves when people do stuff like the person below me.
"well, you said you wanted a guys opinion but i'm a girl who thinks i know exactly what every single guy in the world does and thinks."
ughgjhsadjkas. don't answer the question if you're a girl. god. lol, well i'm a girl, but i have a friend over who's a guy so i'm gonna let him answer it for you.
him:
when i like a girl and im not sure if she likes me then i normaly get my friends to ask her if she likes me or i ask her myself. sometimes ill just ask her out tho which is obvous that i like her. if i dont even think she knows im alive then i just start flirting with her.
yeahh, that was him. now it's me. =]
lol, good luck!
I forgot my rough draft for my book report + my final for it is due monday FIRST PERIOD. what do i do. its worth like half my grade + im already doing bad in that class.
britnee
- go to school, pick it up.
- or start over on it.
- or get together with a friend & work on it.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
seriously though, i have a pretty crappy grade in reading too. so, you aren't alone. my teacher's a bitch though..
My acne seems to get worse and worse everyday.
It's very embarrassing to go to school now.
It has not been getting better.
I got this nutrogena stuff and it's not working and i'm not going to the dermatologist until next monday.
Is there anyway I could possibly get my face to clear up just a little over the weekend before school next week?
gah, i despise nutrogena.
i used to use that stuff. it didn't do a thing.
go to walgreens or walmart and look for something called AcneFree. it's only about twenty dollars, but your face should start clearing up in 3 days to a week.
me and my brother both use it and we looooove it, so i would recommend it to anyone.
Our defense for our investigatory project is already on monday but I haven't a clue on what to do!
please teach me the basics, peepz cuz i can't screw things up! my science grade would be greatly affected if i did....
thanks in advance! (and please pray for me people...seriously)
this isn't a question..
yeah, um, what are we supossed to pray for you about? that you turn in your science investigatory project on monday?
okay, hold on.
i'm done.
i said, "Dear God, please let whoever this is do good on their science investigatory project on monday."
goooooo me.
I like this one guy in my school... he's really athletic, nice, and funny. but heres the thing... i've liked him for about a year and a half and i'm so confused on if i like him or not!
sometimes he's really shy and other times he's just his normal self around his friends. He hangs out with the wrong group of friends, who always get into trouble. He sometimes gets into detention in school, he's smart but then sometimes just is lazy. He plays 4 sports and the last thing is that he's shorter than me by about 7 inches!!!!
sooo i'm always getting mixed feelings about him. I like him one day, then the next i decide i don't like him anymore.
whats going on here? does this mean that my heart truly says that i like him? should i just forget about him? Whenever i try to forget about him, i act as my usual self, but then when i'm around him i'm still nervous!!!!!!!! even when i say to myself "just forget about him, he's not for me"
aghh i'm confused
signed,
mixed feelings
it sounds like someone has a cruuuuuuuush. :]
haha.
getting detention isn't that bad. my friends always get it & i still love them, haha.
he's smart; awesome. he's lazy sometimes; so am i & everyone else in the world.
are we bad people? noooooope, lol.
7 inches shorter? who caresssssssss. lol, if people say something to you about him, they're jealous that they can't get a guy like the one you have(if you ask him out).
wait, so do you want to go out with him?
if you do, ask the kid out!
but whatever happens, happens. =]
