To get a line thRough youR text, you put:
< s >WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO SAY< / s >
***and delete the spaces within the < and >, ya know??

And that little "& hearts ;" thing doesn't woRk on AdvicenatoRs that way. To get the heaRts, you can EITHER do:

< font face=Webdings>Y< / font >
***and just delete the spaces, leaving the only one between FONT & FACE.

< font face=Symbol>©< / font>
***and just delete the spaces, leaving the only one between FONT & FACE.

Depending on how you feel about them.. I see two options heRe:

1. SELL THEM, and get a PROFIT, if money matteRs THAT much to you...................

---OR---

2. Give them to some fRiends; that way you'll feel a lot betteR knowing they have a CARING home.

SoRRie, but I don't see youR complaint oR question; all seems so obvious to me...... but I hope.. this.. helps???

♥[?]♥ whenever i do [**] and try to put words in it,it never works, what am i doing wrong and i try to make the hear ♥ and it doesnt work on my profile, once again what am i doing wrong and what are some cool things to put in my profile

That little "& hearts ;" thing doesn't woRk on AIM that way. To get the heaRts, you can EITHER:

*Type a capital 'Y'. Then highlight it, and change the font to "WEBDINGS"...

-oR-

*Copy and paste the copyRight symbol [ © ] into youR info. Then you simply highlight it, and change the font to "SYMBOL".

And that invisible text thing is a code, Hun. FoR moRe infoRmation on that go heRe:
-- http://aim.ansme.com/secrets/invisible/

And as faR as "cool things" to put in youR pRofile... thRow in some celebRity quotes, oR make some up. You could also put shoRt sentences fRom a AIM conveRsation you find funny.

Goodluck; hope this helps!!!

♥[?]♥ O.K. I have been on my period since the middle of sixth grade and I'm now in eighth grade. I have skipped a lot of periods in the past and I was wondering if that has anything to do with having kids. Will I still be able to have kids and is this serious? Now, my period has been going for a MONTH! Is that normal for a 13 year old girl, even if I started almost three years ago?
Signed,
Kayla

It's not uncommon to have an iRRegulaR patteRn foR the fiRst few yeaRs; I seveRely doubt you have ANYTHING to woRRie about. And no, this iRRegulaR patteRn won't pRevent youR child beaRing abilities. :)

♥[?]♥ So, there is this guy and I still really like him, but we already went out and I'm pretty sure he doesn't even think about me as more than a friend anymore. The thing is he isn't really "boyfriend material". He gets bored of one girl and then goes to the next. I still like him, but I know I shouldn't because I'll just get hurt again.

I am trying to get over him. I've tried so much! But it seems like even when I'm hanging with my friends I am like... fakely happy. None of my friends know I still like him.

I still think about him. I've tried to give it time but I've felt like this for about a year now. It's like I'm crazy over him. Will I ever get over him? And what can I do to help me get over him?

Thanks so much.

Honestly, the best way to get oveR someone is to find someone new.

ERGO, hit the mall in a mini skiRt.

♥[?]♥ In November, this guy liked me. I liked him too. We didnt become a couple until January. We've been together since the 12th of January, and Ive fallen in love. Hes the best thing thats ever happened to me. But I have a problem. Ive been having some family issues, and i wasnt myself for the past 2 weeks. Its too late. Today was the last day of school, of 6th grade, were going on to middle school, and he doesnt love me as much. Were trying to decide whether to break up or not, but i really dont want to. I love him so much. It will be hard though. Were so young. No one has ever made me feel this way. I miss him so much and have been hysterical all night. I dont know what to do. Someone help me either get over him, make it work, or atleast calm down. Its gonna take more than that though.

Sounds to me like this Relationship is best at an end.

I mean, HONESTLY... what's the point in a Relationship when only ONE paRtneR holds Romantic feelings foR the otheR?? I hate to tell you this, but I think you should be faiR to YOURSELF by accepting and Respecting his feelings. Then I think you should tRy to gatheR up the pieces of youR bRoken heaRt, and keep tRuckin' on. Think of it this way: what's the point in giving youR heaRt away to somoene who won't give you theiRs??? 'Love' is RecipRocal, Hun; meaning, it's NOT just one-sided. Relationships RequiRe a 120% effoRt fRom *BOTH* paRtneRs, and without that.. you've got nothing. I wish you all of the best..

♥[?]♥ My younger sister is 11 and she weighs 130 pounds. I'm not sure if this is right, cause she looks pretty slim but is heavy. She asked me to ask you guys this since she is too young to join. By the way, I'm 13 and I'm 88 pounds.

Bottom line, if she FEELS good.. she LOOKS good. It's all about being confident in youRself.

Who caRes what the woRld has labelled as "aveRage" oR "noRmal"... and TO HELL WITH WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS - FUCK 'EM, ya know?????

But if it makes heR feel betteR, she seems PERFECTLY FINE to me.

And I wouldn't woRRie about excess weight unless it's stopping heR fRom doing heR daily Routines and activities, and at a meRe 130 pounds.. it's not. :D

Hopes this helps?? :)

♥[?]♥ well i want to go to the movies with a friend of mine, but its a girl. how do i ask a girl to go somewhere (without having a group)without it sounding like a date?

It's not as big of a deal you'Re making it out to be, honest. I think the pRoblem is you'Re thinking about it too much. Chances aRe, the thought that it could be a date won't even OCCUR to heR!!! I know *I* wouldn't eveR think as an inivation to the movies with a female as a date, whetheR she weRe heteRo sexual oR OTHERWISE, ya know??

Just tRy calling heR up, and act all hypeR and cuh-RRazziieeee.. and say something like..
"HEY!!!!!!!!! What are you doing this weekend!?!?!?!?!!" She'll Respond, and you say:
"WANNA GO TO THE MOVIES!!?!"

Honestly, you pRobably think that's lame, but it's the way to do it, Kid. Just go foR it, no woRRies. Hope.. this.. helped?? :P

♥[?]♥ i have an eating disorder caused by extreme emetophobia, ive hardly eaten for 3 years. in this time i have only eat my "safe foods" which are tuna paste sandwhichs, toast, breakaways (chocolate buiscuits) and only drink fresh orange juice.
This has caused me to feel ill all the time, i'm always in pain and discomfort and regualry feel light headed and sick.
I know my eating disorder has caused damage to my body and has weakened my teeth and causing me to feel ill but my boyfriend and i are really worried about the long term effects this is doing to my body and if it will have any serious effects?
please reply, thank you

Hmm, I guess I'm not QUITE shoRe if I undeRstand youR questrion oR not. I suppose I'm a bit uncleaR of what it is you aRe tRuly asking, but I seaRched online foR you and came up with a few sites you might find helpful:

--- http://www.anred.com/medpsy.html

--- http://www.helpguide.org/mental/anorexia_signs_symptoms_causes_treatment.htm

--- http://www.ivillage.co.uk/health/hlive/eat/articles/0,,181168_187976,00.html

Hopefully this is what you wanted. :)

♥[?]♥ Alright so there is this guy. And I went out with him once already but it ended after a short time. It was probably the best few days of my life, though. He was so sweet and funny and we had everything in common. I couldn't have asked for anything else. When we broke up i was super sad. And this was like a while ago! I still can't stop thinking about him. It makes me crazy.

I still talk to him, but barely. I knew, even when I went out with him, that he's the kinna guy why goes from girl to girl to girl after only weeks. And even though he's like that, I feel like we're perfect for eachother but he doesn't know it. I don't think I would feel this way if I didn't think we should be together.

The thing is, right now he likes my friend, and i don't even know if he thinks of me at all. It really hurts. I know I shouldn't be so crazy about a guy like this... but I guess i'm "stuck" over him. It's like he's the only thing that would make me truly happy. And I feel like if i try to tell him i'll look like a complete idiot. We already broke up once, I mean, he'd think I was crazy. I just... need him. Man...

I'm sooo stuck on this one. Please help.

Thank you.

Don't woRRie about looking like an idiot - chances aRe all of youR life you will look like an idiot - most people do, and theRe's nothing wRong with that. ;)

WoRRie about doing what makes you HAPPY!! Honestly, I believe telling him how you feel.. won't make you look like an idiot, so don't woRRie about it. It's not silly, and you can't stop youR feelings anyhow.

OR think about it this way: wouldn't you RatheR Risk looking like an 'idiot' if it accomplishes, oR even stands a CHANCE at accomplishing, something you appaRently want IMMENSLY??? PeRsonally, if I weRe in youR shoes, I'd like to Relief myself, and tell what I'm feeling.

Honestly, this question Really touched me. I can tell you Really caRe foR this guy, so I think you should just flat out tell him how you feel. Just set aside youR feaRs, and go foR it! Also, I think that if you weRe to bReak the ice and tell him you like him fiRst... you'Re wayyy moRe likely to get an honest Response foR him. You can do this; I have complete faith in you, and I think you should as well. :)

♥[?]♥ ok so me and my friends are in this 5 on 5 soccer tournament..but we need a team name. we want something stupid and just funny..like for homecoming volleyball we were the DONKEYS..then on the back of each persons shirt was a letter of the word JACKASS! so when we all stood in a line..we spelled out J-A-C-K-A-S-S..it was hilarious..any ideas for 5 people in soccer...were open to ANYTHING!! (SOMETHING FUNNY WOULD BE NICE!)

This is playhin' off "B3CKixHAQ"'s idea...
You could make it a PRAIRIE dog.. and have it say:
"B-I-T-C-H".

Honestly, I can't think of anotheR animal with a second funny name, ya know? I guess the only thing else would be ROOSTERS... and it would say:
"C-O-C-K-S"
but that's pRobably too obscene, yes???

SoRRie I couldn't be of moRe help. Goodluck deciding!! :D

♥[?]♥ Does anyone have any tips about make up for the summer?

Less is moRe.

Take it easy on foundation, as it will become cakey and Runny.

Go foR a nice shimmeRy lip gloss.

And spRing foR the wateRpRoof eye make up. :)

♥[?]♥ Does anyone know a website that lets you download MIDI files of music for free? i will rate fives.

Hmm, I'm not QUITE shoRe if I undeRstand youR question oR not. The whole "download" thRew me off a bit. I know theRe aRe some websites you can go to to LISTEN to MIDI music, which you can SAVE, yes. And some of those sites would be:

--- http://www.mididb.com/
--- http://www.starlightmks.com
--- http://www.diamondrains.com

Hopefully this helps you a bit. :D

♥[?]♥ I can be pretty shy. When it comes to guys and sometimes even making new friends. I am going into a new school now, and I just want to be able to have as many friends as possible. And I don't want to be standing there seeing all of these girls talking to guys just because they look confident and walk a certain way. Do you think that makes a big difference? Being confident in yourself and showing it? Or am i just hopeless? Let me know. How can I fix this?

thanks

Confidence DEFINITELY makes a diffeRece, oh yes. Confidence is sexy, and confidence shows. You see otheR people at school who may be veRy open and funny.... theiR confident; now DON'T THEY get youR attention??? Of couRse they do... and doesn't it even sometimes make you feel betteR oR happie.. even if only foR that split second?? I know I feel that way a lot. People aRe moRe inclined to sway to the confident kids, because they alReady kind of have a feel foR theiR peRsonality. And it's not difficult to be confident, Hun. Smile, smile, smile... as smiles DO get noticed!! Honestly, you just have to be bold and go foR it. Hasn't a Random peRson eveR come up to you at school and just said 'Hello' out of nowheRe???? And didn't that make you feel special??? And didn't you automatically foRm a high opinion of them in youR head??? Exactly, thus why you should set youR feaRs aside [if you have them?] and just go foR the gloRy!! You can do this; I have complete faith in you. :D

♥[?]♥ Ok, so... I have a regular body. I'm pretty skinny, and just... well... regular. I dont have huge boobs or anything like that. I'm just a typical young teen. But I would consider myself more "pretty" than "hott". I'm not trying to sound conceided... but I have a prettier face than anything. But, it seems like all guys care about is "hottness". It's like they could like some of the most ugly girls just because they have a "hott body". Does anyone think... or know if guys will ever grow out of this and start actually looking at girls faces and caring more about beauty than hottness? please let me know

thank you

Many will, oh definitely. But you just always have those bad apples, ya know??? :D

♥[?]♥ I have the first symptoms of an eating disorder (yes this can be in Mental Health, it's a mental problem not a physical problem) and I'm really worried

I might sound crazy right now but there's this constant battle in my head. One part of me is saying not to do it that I should go and eat and the other is saying no! don't eat it's not worth getting fat.

I have no one I could talk to and except for parents and they would go crazy.
Ughh It's driving me crazy! I don't want to go and eat for then to realise I shouldn't have done and then go and binge and bring it all back up. Please help me.

You'Re not alone. You can talk me - I undeRstand EXACTLY....
