hey, i used to be the former leader of my clique at school. then for some reason the people that i used to lead became retarded and started acting dumb. so i have a new group of people now, but everyone is pretty much individuals. like i wouldnt be able to boss them around. basically they wouldnt let me lead them. what should i do. (link)
I recommend leaving your group. Those bunch of individuals are outta control and don't want to be under your commmand!

But seriously, if you like them then just learn to adapt. If self rule is their way, start using that instead of being the leader.


ok..I have an Xbox 360 and we bought xbox live for it and we cant get it to work..It has worked one time since weve had it...We have called our internet provider and we called the xbox people and they tried to help us but nothing works....it keeps saying "DNS failed"....how can I make it work again??...please help (link)
DNS Failed is usually and error with your internet connection. Did you buy the wireless hookup for your 360, or are you directly connected?

if you are hooked up wireless you probably don't have it installed right.

If you are hooked up by a cord, be sure your router is giving a signal.

I've been having suicidel thoughts leatly, I think it's because I came to a conclusion that I'm a worthless nobody, I'm not good at anything and that I really have no reason to live ,no goal in life or will living.
Please give me some advice how to get this thoughts out of my head...

I could tell you the same corny stuff everyone is about to pour from their keyboard into this box where they give you an answer, or I could tell you it a different way.

You're most certainly overlooking this whole situation. Just take a look around you, look really hard and you'll notice everything you just said is false. You're always harder on yourself than others are on you. Ask your friends if you are 'not good at anything'

You're also an 18 year old male, of course you have no idea what you want to do in life! Stop worrying about it, just because you have no 'goal' doesn't mean you should kill yourself. Ask any guy you know what they want to do, ask some older people, or ask your father what he knew he wanted to do at your age. Chances are he'll say "I had no idea"


Why is everyone on this site a whiny 13 year old Emo girl wondering if the boy in their Geometry class likes them? And why are they so willing to follow the advice of complete strangers?
I rate 5's when I damn well feel like it. &hearts
(link)
They follow advice from complete strangers because this site is meant for just that. To give/follow advice. You would think people who like to give advice would visit this site.

Also, everyone on this site is asking that same, be it, very redundant question because that is quite the popular topic when you're a '13 year old whiny emo girl'

If you have a problem with these questions simply to as I did...Leave.


Hey im lookin for a new mmorpg game thats fun. u kno somthin like runescape. i already tried google and that stuff. also i tried gunz online, seems boring. so would be helpful to tell me a great game.

thx. i'll rate 5s!!! (link)
Man, you gotta try some real MMO's! Go out and buy either World of Warcraft -if you're okay with monthly fees

or check out Guild Wars if you don't like the above idea.


Hey, does anyone know any GOOD virus scan programs (that are free!)? Ad-Aware just isn't cutting it. Thank you. (link)
Adaware isn't a virus scanning program, that is used for Adware/Spyware

Try going here
http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

And downloading that program. Avast! is an excellent, and free program for virus scanning. It even updates itself!


Hey, i just ordered an iPod mini off of Ebay, but i only have windows 98 on my working computer. So theres no way i can acess iTunes through my computer, but I do have another computer that has Windows 2000, which is can acess iTunes. But the problem is i have a virus on it, my dad said he would take it to be fixed but i want to try to restore it first. Can someone please summarize how to restore my computer? (link)
Try going here
http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
Download the English version, or your preferred language, then run that on your computer.

That will clean any and every virus you have.


i just edited a movie me and my friend made.. and i saved it and tried to upload it too bolt.. but it wouldnt work because its not saved under the right type. it needs to be of type .flv, .mov, .avi, .mpg or .wmv so how do i do this?? it only saves under one type at the moment (link)
On the left there should be the option to "SAVE MOVIE" click that. From there, it will convert your movie in to .MOV format, unless you tell it otherwise. You may also from this screen select the file size you would like the movie to be, in case it is too big to uplaod.


if you need anymore help, just send me and inbox, I can give more thorough help if needed.


how do i delete the websites that come up when i click the down arrow? like if i have been the www.advicenators.com ....and if i click the down arrow than the website will be down there...how do i delete it? (link)
Deleting your history. Also, making your history last for '0' days will disable this function.


my sound just....stopped working. like it's turned up and everything but it won't work. i restarted my computer but it didn't do anything...does anyone know what it might be?? 5's (link)
Make sure you didn't mute it, first off. Some problems may simply be overlooked -like muting it-

If not, just look on the bottom right and click the sound icon, then check out your settings in there.


Is there any way to convert music from windows media player to iTunes? thanks. (link)
iTunes should convert it for you, just be aware once you convert it, you might not be able to play it in WMP.

Press 'CTRL + O' while in iTunes, locate your music, and double click it. iTunes will automatically conver it.


how can i get more free space on my computer? i have already tried fragmenting it and deleting the cookies and such, so what are some things i could do to free space up ? (link)
Deleting programs you don't use is one way. Defragging also works -but you already did that.
Also, try doing a 'Disk Sweep' is you found the degrag by going to 'start' 'programs' 'accessories' 'system tools' you'll see 'disk cleanup' that will also free some space.

Try emptying your Recycle Bin, too. Just because you delete it, doesn't mean it is gone from your computer.


okay, well im on my mom's laptop which is her work laptop. and i was just going on cartoon doll websites like, pixlebee, cartoon doll.com and stuff like that. and all of a sudden this porn pop up came up! and idk what to do! what if someone finds out? i cant have my mom think i look porn because i dont! ah oh my gosh, i seriously cant have this happen! please help! (link)
She won't be able to find out you found a 'porn popup' unless she was watching you do it.

Don't worry about it.


Hi my names Ashley. I use AIM quite frequently and my friend recently sent me something that i opened but it was a virus. And now everytime i log onto AIM it goes like crazy and starts IMing this virus to everybody on my buddy list. I have Norton and Avast. But its not detecting them and i tried this program but its not detecting it either. This has happened to me before and i cant remember how i got it off. But everytime i sign onto AIM i can sign on for about 4 min. but then it sends that virus to everyone on my buddylist. Please help me!!! (link)
First of all, I praise you for using Avast! Norton is useless, though Avast! is a fantastic program.

However, if these two programs aren't detecting this 'virus' it could be something called "malware"

Go to www.downloads.com

And find something called "Spybot Search & Destory"
That might be able to find your problem.

Also, be sure to keep your Avast! updated, if it already isn't auto-updating.


how do i reformat my computer? its messed up and its a dell/laptop. itunes doesnt work and there are many system32 messages that popup so i want to try to reformat it but i dont know how to! can someone tell me how to or a site to show step by step directions? and also, by doing this is this dangerous like messing up my computer even more? (link)
You aren't putting your computer at anymore risk than it already is at.

Essentially, a reformat will zip your computer back to a past state, hopefully when it was much better than it is now. To do a reformat go to "Start" "All Programs" "Accessories" "System Tools" "System Reformat"

Choose a date in which you remember your computer wasn't as messed up. Also, be sure you don't have anything extremely important on there that you did recently. Your computer will revert back to the date you choose it to, loosing all current information.


Hey i need help on fixing my yahoo page. I go to www.yahoo.com and the words a huge. I think i did something to it by accident. I know that there is a way to make the words normal size again. What way is that? plezz help me i'll rate 5s!!! thanks (link)
Go to "View" and then "Text Size" then change the size of the text from there.

(link)
You can sit there and quietly take pleasure in knowing that before they're 21 they're going to have their asses kicked.

People out in the real world won't stand for that shit; as they'll find out.


This is for people in high school. Sorry if it's long but I'll rate all 5s && give feedback! When you go into high school from middle school, does everything change alot? && Also, do you loose a lot of friends/do a lot of people change/is there a lot more work?? I'm just really nervous for high school && that everythign's gonna change I know high schools "the best years of our lives" but Im scared so if you guys could tell me your expierences with it && if you loose your old friends/best friends && everything changes && how it changes. Thanks. I will rate you all fives promise! &♥; dayna. (link)
I noticed a change in popularity status. In middle school you know who is popular and who isn't. In high shcool that image will dissipate and soon it'll be just you and your friends. You won't know who is popular and who isnt.


Are there any specific books I should read or things I should experience? It's a vague question but for anything in general, what can I do to be smarter? (link)
The best way to get smarter? Stay in school. Hah.

Anyway, I find reading books can assist you gaining a higher vocabulary. If you read a word you don't understand, don't be afraid to look it up. See if you can apply it in a conversation.

I'm not saying big words make you smart, though. Being smart doesn't mean using large words outside of others vocabulary, just know what you're talking about, look things up you don't understand, and soon you'll notice you get a lot of the stuff going on around you.
