advice

does anyone know what song this is ? i`ve googled it and everything, and i still can`t find it.

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

nothing lasts forever.
by maroon 5.

i bought that cd the day it came out XD

i have had some really good convos with a boy from school online and he has always initiates the convo. the other night we admitted we liked each other, and then left it at that (basically it had a positive ending). i decided i should initiate the conversation for once...but when i did he never answered me. it's possible he may have not been at his computer...i don't know. should i not have come home and IMed him that very next day? are you supposed to not do that every day or what? i can't figure out if it was the right thing to do.

he probably wsn't at his computer.
i have a guy like this ;]
always ims you first
and keeps the convo going.
but i haven't admitted I like him.
hehe.

anyways..
you can im him first sometimes.
mix it up.
one day let him im you
one day you do it first.


hope it helps

Can wearing deodorant really give you cancer? I just found out about this.

where did you hear this?

i really don't think it's true.
maybe a certain kind
but not just deodorant in general.

people on this site think they are so mature and know everything but they don't know shit. (some do, most dont.) first of all, alot of people on this site believe that if they live a simple life and dont care about electronics and huge houses that they are better than people who care about their appearence and want nice things. just because i have some designer stuff doesnt mean im not a good person right?!! i shop at all of the expensive stores but its because i LIKE the clothes. if you like walmart thats good for you but i dont. and i dont give a f*** what the "popular" kids think. i do what i want and just because i want nice stuff and care about my looks doesnt mean im immature. alot of people on this site are prejudice. and prejudice means PRE JUDGING. you guys are pre judging teenagers just because they give a care about how they look or what they buy. and usually its the adults who critisize teenagers. but if you havent noticed alot of teenagers are smart and they dont always follow the crowd... these uninformed people give us teenagers sterotypes when they havent even met all of us. i say i shop at abercrombie and fitch and suddenly i have all these people calling me a follower. i know how i am and i dont follow. i lead. wow, so i like the same stores as other people. BIG DEAL. i dont smoke and drink and im not a slut. i just CARE about my appearence. deal with it! stop judging the teens on this site wrong and calling them whiny bitches because its not us, it's YOU.

opinions please. =)

i think you've got the right idea.
people who give lame answers on this site
are judging those that are asking.

and adults should try to understand teenagers.

but it's an advice site.
I mean, if people want real good advice,
go to somebody you trust, right?

this site's simply opinion.
and just because you shop at stores like everyone else,
so what?
that dosen't make you like the others.
there stores for goodness sakes.
you shouldn't be judged by your clothing
or tha fact that you care and want to look decent.

i mean,
i care about my appearance,
so what?
now I'm strictly a follower?

it is ridiculous how people judge.

unfortunatly, ive fallen in love again. im 13/f and can thelp the way i feel. the guys name is matt. hes a grade above me, and school is going to end soon, so how do i get him to notice me? the second i saw him i felt some kind of connection. hes really nice and sweet, but im not suure what to do? all help is appreciated, and if you have any questions ill clear them up

thanks

when you're 13 you realy don't fall in love for real.
i'm not trying to be mean,
but it's just a crush.
and you don't even know him?
well try talking to him.
ask hi mwhat kind of music he likes or something.
but don't go around telling people you're in love,
because you most likely aren't

[view]

everbody(even guys) keeps asking me who i like,but i actully dont like anyone....
how do i get them to stop asking without me having to find someone?

tell them you don't like anybody.
then they'll eventually give up
and leave you alone.

My cosuin is almost 12 years old and she's very small for her age. She's only 4'8 and she's very very skinny. (The small height runs in the family) Last weekend, I saw her at a cookout and she told me that she'd hadn't eaten in almost a week! I'm worried about her because she won't tell her mother and father and she's already really small and I'm worried that she might have a problem if she doesn't eat! Should I tell her parents or let them find out?


Shannon

tell her parents.
it sounds like anorexia,
which could be bad since she's already tiny.

so last night my sister [17] had a bunch of her friends over. i'm 15 [turning 16 in september] and one of her guy friends [17] likes me. i just met him last night, and he apparently really likes me. but he was sweet about it and didn't say i was hot, but said i was very attractive. and we sat next to each other and he was very casually putting his arm around me and kept moving closer.

i could tell that he definitely wanted to make out with me, but i just felt weird about it since i just met him. i mean he's really nice, and i kinda want to make out with him, but i just felt weird at the moment about it.

he's coming back over tonight, and i can't decide what i should do. should i make out with him tonight? i mean i know it would only be a harmless hookup but i'm just not sure.

thanks!

if both of you have the same intentions,
harmless hookup as you put it,
and you both realize you
don't want anything more,
go for it.

but make sure you're both clear
that you don't want this
to lead to a long term attatchment.

I just got a new ipod and i have a lot of songs in my itunes library from my old ipod. i want to put those songs on my new one. but i heard if i plug my new one in, it will erase all my songs. this is a used ipod off ebay if that means anything. so...#1, is that true, and #2 how can i keep this from happening?

no.
you plug in the new ipod
and it will say,
'this ipod is linked to another iTunes library,
transfer this library?'
or something.

click yes and it puts your
iTunes onto tnto the iPod.

i want another cat and i alrady have 1 and a dog my mom said that i can get it but my dad said no what should i do Ps. my friends cat is having kittens so it would be easy to get one for free

talk to your parents about it.
tell them you'll be responsible
and take good care of it.

show them good examples by
taking good care of your other pets.
even though you should always do that ;]

just talk to them about it
and see what they say
