My name is Jen, I go to school, and occasionally learn things. I love James Dean, Hanson, Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty, Fall Out Boy, Elton John and Billy Joel. These make me overly qualified to give advice ESPECIALLY since I spend the vast majority of my time watching and obsesing over Oprah.
I've been through some stuff, and watched even more drama on TV, so I can help with your problems, no matter what your story is Wishbone.

I need a really good GPA in order to get the full grant that's offered at a transfer school. The problem is my Art History class sounds really difficult. There's only two tests, and each involves memorizing the name, date, tools used, location, and artist of 25 random slides we view in class.
So my question is, what should I do if I don't get a good grade on the first test? I'm majoring in art, so I'd have to change my whole major if I dropped the class. I'm not really good at anything else. Besides, I'm not sure if I can afford to change my major.
I will not, under any circumstances, rate you. I refuse to give anyone who answers this a 5. (link)

I'd say give it a try and work your ass off for a good mark. I'd keep the class just because it's more challenging (and I'm a bit of a nerd that way) and you're bound to learn something if you have to work at it.
Don't let yourself slip into the mentality that you won't do well on the test, set the bar high, and you will most likely reach it. Talk to the prof, find someone in class you can rely on to work with sometimes, talk to your TA's, and most importantly STUDY.
However don't get confused with finding something challenging if you just plain hate it. You're paying to learn so it better be something you like.

ok, this is for the guys! If your girlfriend kissed you and she was wearing flavoured lip balm, would you like that or find it disgusting? (link)
| |
if the smell/taste doesn't bother you than it shouldn't bother your guy. Just make sure it's not a very sticky one, because that's kinda gross. A good stickiness test I find is, flick your hair around your face, and if it becomes stuck to your lips, your lip gloss is too sticky.

well, for halloween my friends and i all wanted to be fairys together, just for the fun of it. the thing is, i really don't have that much $ so i m trying to make a costume. does anyone have any ideas on how i could put this all together? just so you know, i suck at sewing. lol. but if its an easy pattern, i can probably do it. thanx a bunch!~i rate. (link)

you can make wings fairly easily (pun very much intended). Take wire coat hangers and stretch them/contort them whatever, into the shape you want, and then pull pantyhose over the shape. You can then decorate the panty hose with glitter glue or whatever you want. Stick them to your shirt like someone said with velcro, or get elastic bands. That shouldn't cost too much money to make so you can splurge a bit more on other accessories.

My parents nag me ALL of the time! Seriously, they bug the hell outta me and I am so sick of it! I think i might move in with my aunt, but i dunno how to break it to my parents. Also, anybody else have this problem? how do you guys deal with it? Thanks in advance!
~From, ME! (link)
|
I don't think you should move in with your aunt right away, because you might regret it, especially if you're only 15 (I'm just guesstimating, I have no idea how old you are) Plus everyone's parents bug them, it's like an unwritten law, "Ye parents must bug ye".
Maybe suggest to your parents (and aunt) that you go stay with your aunt for a week or two, for a mini vacation, for all of you, just to see how you adjust being away from your parents.

how do you do a make-out/halloween party? need help on everything.thanks! (link)
|
invite Stephanie Tanner, she'll bring the fun with her board games.
I myself have never attended a forced or co-erced make-out party. But make sure if there is an adult supervising they are either okay with this, or unlikely to check up on the party. And make sure your guests are willing to attend a make-out party. Maybe spread the word around before "hey come to my party to make-out".
I guess start with spin the bottle and all that good stuff, or passing the orange under the neck. Keep the lights low, put on a movie or whatever, encourage guests to mingle, or keep your eye on the one you wanna make out with.
If worst comes to worst, result to twister.

Well im 15 and i have a WONDERFUL boyfriend. we've been together for 3 years!! and u have to admit thats pretty long..anyways, he gets horny a lot, and he tries to get me to have sex with him sometimes, and im just NOT ready!!! He understands tho of course since hes a real understanding person, but last night, he tried to have sex again!! and of course, (as always) i stopped him. And this morning he came over, and gave me a letter, and then left..here's whut it said..
Dear Nicole,
This no - sex thing just isnt working for me. Im sorry, its just that i get sooo HORNY whenever i see you..i jack off, and i just cum and stuff. I dont have a very strong will, so i think u should rethink about the no-sex thing. you know that i love you either way tho..and i cude never break up with you..but ur a fantastic person, and i neeeeeeeed you..
Love,
Chris
should i just have sex with him and get it over with? or should i stick with my first answer? PLEZE HELLLLLLLPP ME!!!!!!!! (link)
|
first things first, you're boyfriend isn't wonderful. People who pressure you into things that you have stated time and time again aren't wonderful, and most likely don't have your best interests in mind.
Being horny will not kill your boyfriend. No one has ever died from being too horny. Like he said, he masturbates, so he will survive. And even if he didn't he would still survive. His sperm will NOT build up in his penis until he spontaneously combusts.
Just because he doesn't have a very strong will, doesn't mean you shouldn't. Stick to your guns, if you don't want to have sex DON'T. Wait until you feel comfortable. Don't fake yourself into feeling okay about it because he's too horny.
If you insist on staying in this relationship, buy him a playboy magazine instead of compromising your values.

ok well some idiot at skool made this site that has lists off girls in our grade. theres prettiest, uggliest, bitchiest, and sluttiest. in at number 1 for prettiest and this girl who i dont like is number 1 for sluttiest so now everyone thinks its me and its not! what should i do?
thanx-allison (link)
|
definitly get the principal involved. Or if you don't want to be named, or pointed out as tattletale, drop of any anonymous letter with a print out of the site and address.
Like Fern said, this is slander. When it happened at my school, no one really paid attention to what the guys had written and there were some pretty nasty things. They were just caught up in the scandal of "oh someone put mean stuff on the internet". People will realize that you aren't a slut... if they even remeber what the site said.

Question for all the guys out there. I am so confused. What is it about girls that you don't understand? There's a guy I know who says he doesn't understand girls. What's there not to understand? Also, how come every time a girl gets annoyed you guys always blame it on PMS? Lol...also, one more question then I'm done. If a girl flips out on you due to PMS and then apologizes, would you forgive her? Ok, thanks!!! (link)
|
guys always blame it on PMS because some girls like to flip out on guys and blame it on PMS. PMS is no excuse, soon these girls will have to face up that it's just their sucky personalities.
If you flip out on someone, you should apologize, no matter what. Unless they killed your dog or something.
|
Ok, here's my first question.
Sometimes I notice when someone asks a question, someone will reply with "I don't know and I can't help you." Well if you don't know, why did you reply? Skip it and go on.
The second is more of a philosophical question...if you clone yourself, and then have sex with your clone, are you gay, or just masturbating? Cause, you are having sex with someone of the same sex, but it IS yourself. (link)
|
people reply with "I don't know and I can't help you" because a) they just want to answer tonnes of questions b) they really think people care about their responses, or non responses or c) they've had full lobotomies. Personally I think c is the correct answer.
If you clone yourself and have sex with yourself you are a gay craddle robber, because your clone will undoubtedly much younger than you from what I understand about cloning (you can't just clone a whole person at say 18, the clone has to grow from an embryo, but I could be wrong). You'd also be terribly narcisstic, in my opinion.

Sorry if this question has been asked before!!
You see, i wash my hair everyday, and it always smells soo good like my shampoo! I let it airdry, + it naturally goes curly.
The thing is, i straighten my hair; a lot, with the CHI [ceramic hairstyling iron.. it's my saviour!! :D hehe] my hair isn't dead, but it always smells kind of.. well, burnt i guess. So my question is, how can i get it to not smell like that? lol. It's kind of embarassing because people are always playing with my hair, and if i can smell it, i'm pretty sure they can too. Is there any kind of product you can put in afterwards to give it a nice smelling scent? Some sprays i've tried have only made it frizzy :S
thank you in advance guys!! (link)
|
hmm my CHI doesn't have a temperature setting on it, so maybe you're just holding it too long on your hair. Like run it through once to get the intial curl out, and then run it over again quickly. Don't go slow, basically.
Sometimes I just mist my hair with my perfume because I like the smell, so maybe try that?

hey! i'm 16/f and my sis turns 18 on oct. 2nd... ne present ideas for her? or creative ideas eX: MaKinG her breakfast... ThANkS In AdVaNcE!
(shes a normal teenage girl by the way...not a goth or ne thing! LoL!) (link)
|
How weird is this? My birthday is october 2nd, and I'm turning 18, and I have a 16 year old sister.
It'd be cool if you made like a scrap book or just a collage of memories you have together. Don't just use pictures though, use like ticket stubs, magazine cut-outs, anything sentimental that can be glued down.
Or make her a t-shirt. Buy just a plain t-shirt and some iron letters and iron on an inside joke or something she'd appreciate and like to wear.

In Jojo's video , ( leave ) , she has this really nice hairstyle . I can't figure out what it is called ( i want to ask the hairdresser to cut it like that for me ) . it seems layered , but only at the bottom . can anyone tell me what her hairstyle is called ? (link)
| |
I think you could just ask your hairdresser for long layers, and she would understand. But just to be on the sure side, bring in a picture of Jojo's hair.

Alright, well under my questions, it has a question I did not ask! It is someones question under my user name and no one knows my password. Why did this happen and what can I do about it? (link)
|
this may have been me, I was signed in as someone else, but didn't realize it. I asked about why it was showing me someone elses answers, and then realized I was on someone elses name.
But yeah, basically what MFS said.

Is it possible to overdose on vitamin c? i mean i just bought cough drops that say each drop has 100 percent of the vitamin c i need each, is ok to take more if i need them? (link)
| |
You can't over dose on vitamin c, but if it is a chewable vitamin c then taking it too often can erode your tooth enamel. There's also stuff about what vitamin c will do to your blood and urine tests here http://www.prevention.com/cda/feature2002/0,,5437,00.html

(15/I)OK, I have a boyfriend and we JUST started going out yesterday and I think my best friend is jealous that I have a boyfriend and she doesnt. She says little things like.. "I have nothing to wear tomorrow..oh well it doesnt matter,I have no one to impress anyways." She never did this stuff before I had a boyfriend and I know I shouldn't feel guilty but I do. Plus she's being SO picky with boys now.. I was trying to hook her up with one of my boyfriend's friends but she's saying she doesnt like any of them. Is there anything I could do to make her feel any better? Thanks. (link)
| |
I think part of your friends jealousy may be rooted in the fact she's scared she'll lose you to your boyfriend. Just keep spending the amount of time you would with her despite your boyfriend, and she'll realize your boyfriend won't change your relationship with her.

Im trying to go on a diet where i eat just meat and veggies and NO BREAD! but its not working! becauz all day i was craving a sandwhich so i ate one and of course on bread! i need help to stick on a diet! (link)
| |
you need carbs such as bread for your brain to work. Try cutting out foods you don't need like junk food, or eating a balanced diet, with something from every food group. Or switch to a healthier alternative, like go from white bread to whole wheat.

Im 14 n I got a job at a fast food place...kinda like subway, the think is Im really a shy person inless Im around my friends or Im really happy then I can be loud. Does anyone know any way I get over it or do something before I go to work so Im louder bc I dont wanna get FIRED! Last question is I need to find a way to make conversation with the people I work with but I dont know what to say to them or even if they want to talk to me so please help out thank you! (link)
|
Probably the best way to start a conversation with people you work with is to talk about work. Ask how long they've been working there, if they like it, or ask them if you're unsure about something, and smile.
With customers you'll probably get into such a routine with them, you won't even think about being shy.
Just remeber it will get a whole lot easier when you are more comfortable and less new to your job.

my cousin is really overweight she was over earlier this night and she was telling me about how she wants to kill herself because ever one teases her about how fat she is. its really hard for her to find clothes and she feels like she shouldnt be alive i guess. shes only 14 in 9th grade and weighs im guessin 230. she hates bein around people cause they always pick on her, and she hardly goes out of the house and last year she hardly went to school because of it. can you guys help me out by giving me some excercizes she can do or what not to eat? and should she see a doctor? because they think she might have thighroids or something. thanks. also how long would it take her to lose like 35 pounds? (link)
|
Since she's only 14, I don't think a diet would be helpful, especially since popular diets these days eliminate entire food groups which can be dangerous to someone still growing. I definitly think she should go see a doctor, just to help with her nutrition. In fact most weight loss programs recommend you consult your doctor before changing anything. The food pyramid may be a good start. Drinking lots of water helps lose weight. I think generally you lose 1-2lbs a week, so it will take a little while.
Start walking with her, and each time you go walk a little faster and further. Once she gets comfortable with that, add more excersies that she's interested in.
