I have to do 5 hours of community service for school and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I could do that would involve things that I like to do. Some things I like to do that might involve any kind of community service are being with little kids and dancing. Any help would be appreciated... thanks.
Teach a child to read. Sometimes all they need is a little attention to make their life easier. Or tutor them with your homework. Your school counselor or person at the YMCA can probably help you out.

hey i work as a cashier at a grocery store for 6 hours a day. it gets really boring and i feel like screaming!! can anyone please give me some helpful hints to get through the day without wanting to scream?( its so boring and i need help passing the time..)
Things I used to do while being a cashier:
Straightening up/fronting your aisle.
Familiarizing yourself with what is on sale/coupons to help the customer get the best deal.
You have a phone? You could do the "Attention K-mart Shoppers" thing on what is on sale. My bosses used to dig that.
Racing myself to see how long it took me to clear the line.
Asking if I can put back the returns. This usually meant it didn't take as long to go home if I worked in the evening.
Asking the manager if there is anything I can help with. Eventually I got to do some write offs and stocking.
Do the best job you can so that maybe you won't have to be a cashier forever. If you like to stay busy, find a job that helps you do that. Interview for any new openings you are interested in. The easiest way to get a new job is to have a job.

Ok, I have the opportunity to go to this really good highschool, where you can have 2 years of college finished when you graduate and it looks better on your college application and everything.The problem is,I know some people that go there and they said that htey were straight A students, and when they got there they started making C's and D's, and that it was ALOT of stress and they never get to do anything anymore.Everybody keeps telling me to go, that I can handle it, but I don't really want to, and I'm scared to. At my school now, everything is going good, and there's a guy that I really like, and I would never get to see him again if I went to that other school. I just have no idea what to do. I don't want to give up a great opportunity, but I don't want to go either. I have alrady prayed about it, but I'm still confused. Please help! And please, no rude answers, I'm stressed enough as it is. Thanks! I'll rate!
P.S. Sorry so long!!
You might still see him again, just not at school.
It is harder and more stressful, but hey if you are wanting to be a nurse or doctor or other profession that requires 8 years of school, what a save of time and money! College courses required a huge adjustment in studying for me. It was a shocker to find that my usual "studying my butt off" only got me a C. But I recovered and graduated with a good average. Guys are always around, opportunities have to be taken advantage of immediately. You will make friends.
You can still have a "social life." It will be smaller. But that's where time management skills come in. And believe me you need those forever.

hey. ok my problem is that my parents give me noooooo freedom. They won't even let me go to the mall alone!!!!! I always confront them but they never listen. I am getting really fed up with them. I don't know what to do. Green day is going on tour and all my friends are going and i really want to but my parents wont let me because they think they swear too much. What should I do besides talking to them because that doesnt help!
Two words: Swear jar. You put money in it every time you swear (25 cents usually). Eventually you either go broke or quit swearing. Try making a deal with your parents that you get to see Green Day if you keep the swear jar empty for a few weeks. The more responsibility you show and rules you follow the more privileges you get. Period. Good luck.

i've had a knee problem for quite awhile. my doctor put me on "extreme resting", consisting of as little walking as possible, no juming, no running, no P.E., no going fast, no sports. period.
i've been doing this for 2 months, with no avail to my problems. i have a second MRI thursday, but i am becoming discouraged that i'll ever be able to do the things i enjoy again. how can i stay motivated?
thanks.
Do whatever you are allowed to and no more. Listen to your physical therapist. I hurt my ankle and it took 6 months with lots of PT. Try to keep your mind busy. If you don't do what the doctor says now, there will be irreperable damage later. I know its especially hard for an active person, but keep your chin up. You will be able to do things again. Read, learn a craft, anything, just stay busy.

16/f/ca. I've been in one beauty pageant in my whole life, and that was two years ago. Lately I've been thinking about doing more pageants and getting me involved. I really want to go into performing (especially commercial acting/modeling). Do you think this is a good way to gain experience in place of doing school plays/musicals (I hate our drama teacher/director with a passion...)? It was also a lot of fun the first time I did it. I'm not TOTALLY into winning...just as long as I have a good time with all the other girls, I'll be happy.
I guess my question is, do you think this is a good way to gain experience into the performing/acting field, or would it just be a waste of time?
It would get you used to performing in front on an audience. It might help you be more spontaneous and with public speaking.
The good thing is that you can win a scholarship or other money. The bad thing is that you could spend so much money on pageant clothing that you could have saved for college.
You could consider joining the debate team or defending a business plan or other idea to make the world a better place.
If you are enjoying it, and you aren't going broke, do it.

This is how it all started:
Me and my friends were talking about just random things due to boredom and I mentioned I was going over my guy friends house tomorrow. Now, I used to like him and so did my friend Kristine. But she doesn't like him anymore and every good chance she gets, she insults him and calls him ugly or stupid or whatever.
So, then she says "Oh yeah right. He is lying to you" and I was like "No, not really. Me and him are like best friends" and she said "Thats what he tells you. I asked him, 'Do you like her?(referring to me)' and he said 'No, just as like a friend. Not even best friends'" and I was like "Well, you don't know what you're talking about. How often do you even talk to him?" "A lot" she says (which a month or so earlier, Jason contradicted saying that he dislikes her and rarely says a word to her). But then my friend Natalie(who I know Jason talks to sometimes) said that Kristine actually does talk to him a lot. Basically, they both said
1)He doesn't like me as bf/gf
2)He doesn't even really think of me as his best friend(which he has called me before and says that I am one of his best friends)
So then later, I called Jason and talked to him about this. He got upset, asking me why I would believe Kristine over him(I talk to Jason a HELLLLL of a lot more than Kristine. Me and Jason are on the phone almost everyday) And saying that he rarely talks to her. He didn't even know who I was talking about at first when I said her name and he just told me she was lying and I said, "Now, maybe I misinterpreted, but didn't you say you considered me as your best friend?" and he said "Yes" and I told him what she'd said and he just seemed flabbergasted and kind of upset. But he told me that it was lies and he does talk to Natalie but not Kristine. He also said that he does tell people, when asked, that he doesn't like me in a bf/gf way and that we're friends. So then after the little "tiff" had calmed a bit, he said he had to go and I asked him, "Do you still want me to come over tomorrow?" and he said "I'm not positive. I'll call you" and I said ok and we hung up...Now, please, someone. God, I need advice on what to do and say to each of these people because I'm about to cry. I can't stand people lying to me, especially my friends and especially Jason because I actually care about him more than I care about Natalie and Kristine. Thank you so much, I'll rate
He's isn't lying to you. Just give him some room. Hopefully he's mature enough not to let this little disagreement bother him. And she must like him to lie to you like that. Especially since she goes out of her way to disrespect him every time you mention him.
Don't say anything, just don't take advice from girls who have a conflict of interest. There is no reason to let them have your power.

is it true that you can use lemon juice to bring out your natural highlights? if so, how do you apply it?
The only time I have used lemon juice for my hair, it was in summer to bring out the blondes. We usually sprayed it out of a bottle.

I've been working on my resume, but there is not a whole lot to it. I've basically had two jobs, and have volunteered at three different occasions. I want to find something in the animal care/veterinary field. But I'm still going to school full time, and am only finished with one semester of a Veterinary Technology major.
If I apply to every Vet clinic in the area, should I make a cover letter for each place? I'm most familiar with one certain clinic, because I've been the janitor there for a while, so I had no problem making a cover letter for them. But I don't really know what to say about all of the other clinics.
Should I just hand a resume in to each place, and hope for the best? Or should I make an individual cover letter for each clinic?
Is there anything else that I could do to spice up my resume?
I would make a cover letter for each place. If there is someone at your current vet clinic, ask them if they might know someone at the other clinics. Then you may can point your cover letter into the proper hands.
Be sure to include all of your experience whether it is volunteer or not. You might make two sections dividing the volunteer from the paid positions. If there is still room, you can include special awards, GPA, special trainint, and hobbies in their appropriate sections.
You might include a goal statement at the beginning of your resume. Be sure that your resume is only one page long or it will end up in the trash.

What do you do when you someone tells you the guy you like will never ike you should you give up?
Signed
Should I give up?
If my fiancee would have given up on me, I wouldn't be wearing his ring. Sometimes you just have to push the issue so that you know what to do next. Just talk to him.

I was supposed to babysit tomorrow ,but my boyfriend's basketball game got cancelled today and resceduled for tomorrow ... at the same time that I have to babysit. The woman that I babysit for doesn't think going to his games is a good excuse to cancel ( I know this from past experiences). So I need some help thinking up a good excuse to cancel on such short notice. I know this is very wrong but I really need the advice... Fast! Thank u so much... I rate high!
Ok here goes my rating again...it's called responsibility. This poor lady has probably planned a rare night out, and you are about to be selfish enough to cancel it. You made a promise, and if I were her, I would never use you again if you dumped me.
You can try seeing if you can take the child to the game. But your first responsibility is to care for her child.
It may be a little issue now, but this will keep coming up over your entire lifetime concerning time management and meeting promises. There will be other games, but you might need her for a reference for a real job sometime.

Last weekend my mom walked in on me and my boyfriend. All week, she hasn't said 2 words to me... except when she yells at me or wants to give me an attitude about a chore I didnt do or forgetting to call her to tell her I was out. I've been trying to make small talk with her about stupid stuff like dinner or the weather but she just gives me short answers. I dont want to bring up what happened at all but I do want her to talk to me! Please help me out, I'd appreciate it so much. Thank you!
Vote three for you two have got to get it out in the open. She has shut down communication because she is trying not to bring it up either. You need to just get the yelling out now. Hopefully you will both make up and do better. She is worried about you because you are growing up, and probably very concerned about your future.
It wasn't a good thing that happened, but good things can come out of it. Be mature and bring it up when you can both calmly talk about it.

DEAR SIR,
I am gopalakrishna .c.s aged 33,from davanagere[india].
I am a family advicer.I am doing my social work
since from 10 years.
4 YEARS BACK , ONE LADY NAMED MADHURI[d/o prasanna kumar] MET ME AND ASKED FOR A SOLUTIONS TO HER FAMILY PROBLEMS.
I promptly gave my advice. After that she got married to another person.I told her to do some worship to god. She done her prayer to god.
After that she is started to blaming me that,
"she lost her beauty and fashion because of that meditation, and she is asking for a return of beauty and fashion again.
How one can loose her beauty or fashion after worshipping a god?[after 4 years]
She is continously sending me a e mail leters
and troubling me through telephone calls.
i treating her like my own sister.
BUT SHE IS NOT READY TO ACCEPT THE FACTS.
I lost my concentration and job.Even my mother is also lost her health and concentration because of her phone calls.
please ,tel me how to over come thisproblem.
yours
gopalakrishna.
Can you change your phone number or put a call block on her calls? You absolutely tell her to leave you alone. You can definitely block her email or send it directly into the trash bin. She is definitely asking the wrong person for help because I think the outcome is up to her.

First, let me preface this by saying that this is going to a bit long and that I'm not highly religious. I always believed that if you lived your life morally and right, God or the cosmos or what have you, would reward you in a way. You would be able to affect people's lives by the way that you live.
So I've lived my life well- I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, engage in pre-marital sex, am always kind, and work hard helping others, however, I'm losing my faith that its all meaningful. It seems to me that people in general are becoming too superficial. There is no more great search for knowledge and truth and TRUE beuty. People don't trust people anymore- always thinking the worst ulterior motive, even when there is none. I feel like I'm fighting a dying battle to keep a little bit of innocence and purity. Am I just being naive thinking that if I keep living my life the way I am, will "reward" me in the end? Am I the only one who feels like this? Am I the only one who thinks that we're not progressing but rather giving in to our most carnal urges? I'm losing faith and I know eventually all the people I help will feel it by the way I treat them. Your input would be appreciated.
You are not going to be judged by the way rest of humanity lives out its life. There are people out there, just like you, who are trying their hardest to live a good life. Some of them are doing much better than others. We have been tainted by the world, and it is up to each individual to live life as it should be lived. Your reward doesn't only come later. Your reward is knowing that God is there for you now among all of these people who aren't trying to live a better life and shine in the brilliance of God's light.
You desperately need to find a church home if you do not have one. Organized spirituality does make you feel better because every one there is rooting for you and also keeping their own flame aloft. If you don't find that, at least join yourself to a group of people who feel the same as you. It is difficult wandering alone in the wilderness without God or anyone else's help.

I'm 17 yrs old and me and my girlfriend have been together for 7 months and i love her alot. i've been pouring out my feelings to her, tellin her how much i love her n everything, but i dont feel like she feels the same way.. what do i do? i dont wanna dump her cuz i love her alot..
Here's a revolutionary idea that took me 20 plus years to realize: it can actually be good if one person loves the other person more. I am not saying that you deserve a zero return on your efforts, but I am constantly astounded by how much my fiancee loves me more every day. I do love him, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I could never match him.
So it's time for a heart to heart on how she really feels about you. If she just doesn't feel "it" as much, not too bad really. If she doesn't feel it at all, then you might then decide on making your separate ways as difficult as it is. If she loves you, she'll be back, but don't stop your life.

isit true that girls that dont grow up with any type of male figure in their life wil often cling to a possible male figure that pays alittle attention to them ?
srry if it doesnt make sence..
Yes they can. Therefore we have at least 5 or more people a day asking why a 13-15 year old can't see a 19-21 year old. And then some girls just get angry and take it out on the whole world. But sometimes is has nothing to do with the prescence or quality of a male figure, and may have to do with a mental problem or other bad experiences.
Our parents, in general, try to the best they can with what they have.

does n e one know of any good smelling colognes for a guy i like. i need a good one like really nice but thats not really expensive?? not like axe tho thats too cheap.please help me soon
Wal-mart has little bottles of the really expensive stuff usually this time of year. Here is what I did: I went to the expensive department stores and got a bunch of samples. Then I smelled them and selected the ones I liked. I took the ones I liked to my boyfriend and let him smell them to see what he liked. I went back and bought the one we both agreed on, and he uses it all the time. He was very happy because I have terrible allergies and was reacting to the stuff he was wearing.

what is a good way to ask a heavy metal guy to a prom?! and when should i ask him cuz our prom is in may.
It's only February! So you should at least wait a little while. Just bring up the prom in general. Hopefully you have at least gone out with this guy more than once by that time. And just because he is "heavy metal guy" doesn't mean he wouldn't like being asked. Geez, I was "heavy metal girl" and I went to two proms. If only to make fun of everybody else....

This is mostly to the females out there: What is the most romantic- meaningful gift you've ever received?
My favorite was the very first box of candy I received from a boy for Valentine's day. It was a little Whitman's sampler with just 4 pieces of chocolate. I was in 6th grade,and he was in 4th. I had befriended him because nobody else talked to or understood him. He was a really smart guy. I think he later got a full ride scholarship to John Hopkins. I haven't seen him since he dropped by my college for lunch one day.

okay, ive been working out everyday for like 2 weeks now and ive been getting into REALLy good shape. . but i havent really been loosing weight, just getting really tone.. the thing is, i eat ALOT. not like fattening foods, its healthy/okay foods. but i just like overload on it i guess.. and i HATE the idea of "eating in moderations".. its so hard! once u take a bite out of something, you just want to eat more.. any good motivational tips that would help me eat in moderations?? thanks =]
You can snack, but only on the good stuff-veggies and vegetables. In fact if you have 5 small meals instead of 3 huge ones, you have a better chance of curbing your appetite. Backing down on food intake begins with just one bite. As in, leave one bite on the plate when you are done and then two until your portion size is correct. If you are worried about wasting food, put it in the fridge for a snack later.
You are gaining muscle. That's a good thing because it burns calories more efficiently. Drink as much water as you can to help you between meals. Sometimes we are thirsty instead of hungry.
Don't eat standing up. Use a smaller plate. Actually measure out one serving of food with a measuring spoon. Fix your own food as much as possible. And continue to exercise!
