Hello, all- I'm Becky. I'm 16 years old but wise far beyond my years, so hopefully you can expect some good advice from me. I'm not here to spit out cutesy answers to every single question- I won't be a bitch, but I'll be sure to tell it like it is. Just accept it, and consider less-than-sweet answers as tough love. :]

advice

reduced fat peanut butter is a huge part of my diet.
I eat it every morning on whole wheat bread with a bannana.
Is that an okay breakfast?

This is a really healthy breakfast. It covers three food groups (protein, grain, and fruit) and it will keep you going til lunch. =]

Alright, well I was talking to my friend and she said her friend ( who idk cause this girls in a grade lower than me ) is going to a party and just asked if i wanted to come to, and it was fine with her friend.

So if you were me and didn't nobody there except one person, would you go?

I'm just afraid the girl I do know'll be off talking to a thousand people, and I'll be sitting in the corner.. just sitting there.

I hope I helped.

I think it kind of depends. If you are a really outgoing person, then go ahead and go- you might make a ton of new friends! Still, if you're kind of shy, you might feel uncomfortable talking to people you don't know. If you do decide to go though, and your friend is talking to other people, you could always go and join in her conversation. It might make you feel more comfortable talking to others when she's there. It's really up to you though. Just do whatever feels comfortable. Good luck!

i met this guy through my friend "stacey" and he asked me how you doin' like joey on friends! and i was all like aww then the next day we tlaked in the hallway and then he gave me a note that say your hot and to call him and stuff. stacey is going out with his cousin. Stacey is sometiems known to strech or bend the truth and same with her best friend "robin" whichim really good friends with too. they are both telling me he jsut uses girls to sleep with them and he is a jerk and lies. he IS SO CUTE THOUGH and my otehr friend told me that i should tottaly go for it. i dont get guys very often, idk waht i should do! HELP!

If you know that these friends tend to not tell the truth, then go for it! No reason to not give a guy you lke a chance. And if they were telling the truth and he does seem like he just wants you to sleep with him then you should just break up with him. Hope I helped =]

i got a good body all i really want is a flatter stomach, its not that big its just got a little fat that bugs me , i wanna be able to wear short tops n not be insecure about it please tell me how 2 make my stomach look hot

1) Try only to eat when you are hungry, and stop when you are full. If you eat a bunch of little snacks just because, then your stomach will bulge a little, and that's uncomfortable and annoying.
2) Also, crunches really help. Try to mix up different styles of crunches, and do maybe 2 or 3 sets of 100 a night. Still, if you aren't used to crunches, don't start out doing this much. Start out with maybe 1 set of 100 (or even less) and work your way up. Stop if you get too tired.

3) Last of all, running/jogging helps all of your body, and it will help tone your stomach muscles. Good luck!

my mom is always asking me to clean my room, well, because its always a mess! i hate cleaning it though! i always get destracted and can never get it done. sometimes a 15 mintute thing can take me up to a week.

anything i can do??

A good idea is to clean up a mess directly after you finish making it. For example, if you have a project that you're working on on your floor, and you have lots of supplies everywhere (glue, markers, paper scraps, etc.) then as SOON you finish your project, put your supplies away. This way, you won't have to tackle so much mess at one time, and it won't feel so overwhelming that you just put it off. Hope I helped!

There this boy and i think he likes me like more than friends and i only like him as a friend and im afraid hes going to ask me out and i wont have the heart to say no... he told this kid that he liked a girl in our school in our grade i think its me... ohto... watta i do

Merissa x3

If he asks you out and you say yes when you don't want to, neither of you will have a good time. You'll feel awkward about it, and most likely he'll be able to tell you aren't enjoying yourself. So if he does ask you out, you should try and gently explain to him that you really do like him and that you'd just like to stay friends. When you tell him this, don't expect him to act really happy. Chances are he'll be hurt, but he won't want you to see that, so give him some space for a while. Don't try to force him back to the way your friendship used to be. Just give it some time, and see how things turn out =]

Hello. I'm a teenage girrl who is auditioning for a local production of Seussical in January. I'm pretty sure I'm an alto at this point in my life (low D to high C). I really want to sing a belting song (that i can sing completely in my chest voice) that is catchy and upbeat, not a slow ballad-type song. I'm not new to musical theater at all in case you were wondering. But, with my voice changing all the time, I'm having trouble finding good audition songs for my range. I want it to show off how well I can project, and it CANNOT be anything similar to "don't rain on my parade" if you know what I'm talking about.

Also, I have trouble with taking my chest voice up higher than it naturally does. Like I feel like my break occurs lower than everyone else's. And I need tips on how to take my chest voice higher (like high enough to belt "don't rain on my parade" or the star to be's part from "NYC" in the ORIGINAL KEY) without breaking or sounding strained or nasal or bad or anything.

So, in conclusion: i need song suggestions/tips on high belting.

thank you so much and any advice would be appreciated. :)

From the musical Once on this Island, you should try the song Mama Will Provide (sung by the character Asaka). This song has a mostly alto range, although their are a few high notes towards the end. Still, they could be brought down an octave, and it would still sound good.

I'm sorry I don't have any tips on how to get your chest voice up higher. Still, good luck on your audition!

I want to lose weight, and I know how to go about it, healthy food.. and all that junk.. only one problem. I can't motivate myself to do it. I always end-up not doing it. Does anyone know of some good motivators.. that would help me with something... I REALLY want to lose this weight..

here are a couple ideas:

~ find a shirt, dress, swimsuit, etc that you really like, but get it in the size you want to end up as (be reasonable, though. if you're a size 10, don't go straight for 0) then, you could hang it up and it could be a reminder.

~ find some pictures of what you want to look like, and hang them up around your room, or the kitchen to remind you to excercise, or to not eat extra junk.

hope i helped! good luck!

I am 15 years old and i have never made out or had a real boyfriend. I just started going to an all girls private school and i'm worried that i wont have boyfriends in highschool. I am trying to stay close with my old guy friends--but its hard. What should i do?

you don't need to worry about this. high school should be more about having fun, making friends, and doing well to prepare for college. there will be plenty of time for dating later on, so don't try to force it to happen, especially with someone you don't love.

this summer I'm supposed to go see this music producer guy so I could sing for him. The biggest of my worries is that I have a MAJOR problem with stagefright. Once in kindergarten I was standing on the stage in the auditorium doing a play. When I was walking off the stage, I tripped and fell flat on my face and all I could hear was everyone laughing at me. Ever since then I've been terrified to do anything in front of people that aren't my family. Can you please help me?

i do performances quite a lot, so i know what you're going through. these are a few tips that might help:
- try practicing in front of a mirror. it gives you a sense of what you look like when you're performing, which could help you with your confidence.
- ask the producer if your parents could come in to watch the audition. the familiar faces could help to ease your nerves.
- you obviously enjoy singing. so concentrate on the song. if you don't think about the scariness of performing in front of a stranger, then you might be able to calm down, and just sing.
i hope i helped! good luck on your audition!

I wana create a hmepage...well more like a website.

are there any free easy host available?

there are a lot of options out there. the one that i use is
www.xanga.com
but there a lot more out there.
www.livejournal.com
www.myspace.com
www.geocities.com

okay i was on this website and this guy got my aim s/n from it and we started talking. he kept askin me so many questions like what do you look like? how old you are? where i go to school at? and if i have a b/f. so i answered everything not honestly cuz i dont no if he is a stalker.lol. then he finally asked if we could meet sometime. my question is should i continue to talk to him because it seems like he wants a relationship which would mean we have to meet. and i do not want to meet with him in real life cause of all those sick people out there. so should i continue to talk to him or what do i do? will rate high. thanks!

you should definitely not continue talking to him. this is a real stranger danger situation. first of all, you added on that he is 17. how do you know? for all you know, he could be 50. what you need to do is tell your parents. also, it wouldn't hurt to block him.

does anyone know any good songs for a lyrical dance solo? thanks!

both fun. =]

Okay ive been having really weird dreams lately.

The one is im hanging out with a guy who i know but im not close to him or anything. Were in his car and we start kissing and his tounge falls apart in my mouth. And im pulling pieces of his tounge out of my mouth and hes pulling pieces out of his mouth. what could this mean??

Another one is that im at this guys house and ive kissed him before and we almost went out like over a year ago and he told me he likes me still but i have a boyfriend and i do not like him like that. But while im at his house i walk into another room after walking past him and his dad comes in and says something like "I know youve got a lot going on right now but yous should go back out" sounds dumb but it really bothered me.

ANother one is my parents ( but it wasnt really my parents) are getting married and they have an assistant or something. And she keeps chaseing me like trying to hurt me and when i look at her she doesnt have a face its just blurry and i cant get away from her i try escapeing through my window and she always finds me. It felt so real i woke up sweaty and scared.

Can someone tell me why my mind is going so crazy lately?

quite plainly, dreams are just your mind going crazy. you know how during the day, you start thinking about something completely weird, and then you're just like "stop that, thats too strange." dreams are like that: except since you aren't awake, you can't tell yourself to stop going nuts. don't worry about bad dreams...they don't mean anything =]

im very tiny & skinny .. but i have a little bit of fat on my stonmache that i want to get rid of .. i want to loose about 10 pounds only on my stomache - how and what should i do to loose these pounds?

F/13

if your tiny and skinny, you don't need to lose weight. 10 pounds is a lot of stomach weight to lose...you should just focus on eating healthy. everyone has a little bit of extra tummy- its good for you =]

I'm in a jewelry class and I've been looking to purchase some metal. Ideally, I would like to find nickel but I'm having a hard time finding anything! I was hoping someone from Advicenators would know of a store I could purchase metal from. I've been looking online but would perfer to go to an actual store. If anyone has any ideas I would be greatful. Thanks!! I rate :)

you should start out at craft stores. they have a LOT of stuff =] some would be michaels, jo ann, and other places like that. if those don't work, your best bet would probably be an online store. if you look at online stores, try and make sure to find the one that has the smallest shipping rate. good luck with your jewelry! hope i helped.

I feel really moronic asking this because it's stupid and one of those annoying Valentine's Day questions, but it would be really nice if someone could try to help. I'm 13 in the 7th grade and I've really liked this guy named Will for a long time. He's not quite a best friend, but a friend nevertheless. I was wondering whether on Valentine's Day it would be stodgy to send him a carnation (the school is selling carnations on Valentine's Day to donate money to child prostitutes in India) anonymously? I don't think he would laugh because he's a pretty romantic and sensitive guy himself. What do you think?

i think that would be cute. if he likes you back *besides being a friend* then thats great, and you'll be happy. but if he doesn't, than you can just laugh it off and say " oh, that was just to help those kids in india!" that way, you won't have embarrassed yourself, but you will know how he feels about you. hope i helped!

im trying to find a new way of funking up my room. ive got loads of products like make up and hair stuff that i need to find storage for. i want somewhere i can display them but im bored of the original things like shelves which i already have 3 of full of stuff.

Also i have loads of belts that are draping over my wardrobe stick leaving little room for my clothes

so can any one give me any ideas of how to make unusual storage for my make up products? but some where they can be seen.

and also some ideas for my belts.

i store my makeup in small boxes with drawers in them. each box is about 7 inches tall, and 5 inches wide. they sell them in several different colors, and there are many different brands, also. for my belts, i have a large metal ring *about 4 inches across) that i hang on the bars in my closet (where i put hangers on.) i just take the metal part of the belt *the buckle* and hang that on the ring. hope i helped!

I have a problem with people being jealous of me. I don't know why they are - I'm not extremely beautiful or wealthy. I'm just an above average looking girl with average intelligence. I don't have a bf either, so this makes their jealously all the more perplexing.
I have a part time job with a union, and can afford to live on my own. I have an appartment I rent, a car, and a lot of nice furniture. I own about 150 CD's and 70 DVD's.
I by no means am rich, but only have myself to look after. So I can afford to spend my paychecks on what I please. I had saved up a bit and just bought a new futon and recliner. That made some of my friends REALLY jealous.
This one friend of mine makes just as much money as me but says that most of his paychecks go towards paying credit card depts. I have never had a credit card so don't have this problem. My sister is also jealous of me because she owes money to student loan payments. I never went to college so don't have this problem. Some of my other friends don't have cars, and are always saying how lucky I am to have one. But they don't relize how much money I put into it. I just paid 400 to replace the breaks. I wish I could just enjoy what I have without people feeling jealous. I earned it. What can I do, and how can I stop people from envying me?

i think you should just ignore their jeolousy. if you don't react to it, theyll stop talking about it eventually. also, try not to "flaunt what youve got" and that might make them feel better. bottom line is, don't worry about it, because these people are your friends. and, you earned all of what you have, so you don't need to feel guilty about it. ♥

i think your hair sounds beautiful. maybe you could get some highlights to make it a little more interesting, and cut it short or grow it longer...or layers! but i think your hair sounds gorgeous, and you should change it too much.
