about

Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

advice

when a girl swallows, why do guys like it and think its hot?

It's just a natural ego booster.
There are guys who understand when girls don't swallow, but they like it for various reasons.
It depends on the guy, I guess.

When girls take in something that can be pretty repulsive just to please their guy - well, wouldn't that boost your ego, too?

when do guys stop growing?
i have a friend whos 5'3 ish and he's 17
is he done growing?

My older brother is 25. He didn't really start hitting puberty until he graduated high school. It's somewhat funny to ask, actually. He used to be this scrawny, puny, gawky kid. Now he's somewhat muscular, a few inches taller, and a lot better looking (at least that's what a lot of my friends think...).

I have a facebook profile picture of course, and is there anyway to see how many hits it gets?
Like how many clicks?
I know about how you can put counters on myspace and such, but facebook?
Thankss

Facebook's FAQ says that they don't have any ways of doing so, but a user could create an application that makes it possible.

So, Facebook itself doesn't have any way of doing so.

If you were to create an application that does it (or if there have already been apps created that do so) then it's possible.

You'll just have to search applications.

Last week I was in the park with my friends, and my brothers friends.
I'm 15, and my brother is 19.
He had some of his friends in the park too. None of were drinking, but we were having a good time, just sitting together and talking (about 20 of us)
The thing is that some of the couples were making out and such, and as a dare, I kissed this guy who was 22.
Not with tongues or anything, but like a two minute kiss.
Now I'm kinda worried that it might be considered as really sick and stuff.
He's just a friend, I'm not interested in going out with him, it was just a dare.
He afterwards said to me ''I hope this doesn't make things awkward between us, since it was just a dare''
The day after in school a teacher said to me in a jokey way ''I saw you kissing Riley(he used to go to my school) I hope nothing is going on between you two'' and I felt so embarrassed!
What would the teacher think of me??

This question kind of makes me laugh, because I was just like that when I was your age, and I can only imagine the horrible things teachers have probably thought of me.

Honestly, it's really none of your teacher's business. Besides, it was just a dare. You don't like the guy, and he doesn't like you - everyone should just get over it. Kissing someone a few years older than you isn't a big deal. When I was 13, my boyfriend was 18. The age difference is a little less than yours and that guy, but I don't see what the big deal is, especially if it didn't mean anything.

So the teacher thinks you like to get a little friendly with guys... who cares? haha.

I'm sure my senior year speech and debate teacher thought I was some sort of alcoholic sex-addict just from my opinions on some topics we had debated in her class.

Teachers only see what's right in front of them. They don't know what goes on when they aren't looking, so they rarely have the entire story, anyway.

How many conversations with friends do you think your teacher has overheard? How many do you think he/she thought were completely innocent when they weren't, and how many do you think he/she thought were completely bad/dirty/mean, etc. when they were completely innocent?

Like I said, teachers rarely hear the whole story.
Sure, your teacher may have seen the kiss (what would a teacher be doing at a student/young teen hangout?), but did he/she know it was a dare?

Your teacher shouldn't have said anything because it wasn't their place to say anything. (Unless you're close with the teacher... friendly, nothing dirty).

I guess what I'm trying to say is to just chill out. There's nothing wrong with what you did. It's not like you slept with him on a dare (which would be slutty and wrong). And if I were you, I would have told the teacher that they were out of place for butting in. Then again, I have a problem with authority trying to butt into my personal life, and I tend to get a bit of an unintentional attitude when uncomfortable or irritated...

Anyway... if your teacher says something again, or anyone for that matter, just laugh it off and let them know that being a teenager means having some clean, safe fun. You weren't breaking any rules. You weren't doing drugs or getting trashed. You were hanging out with friends.

You could always remind your teacher that they were young once and that they have probably done worse. =]

I have a cousin who is autistic and even though he is 17 he fights sleeps and stays up really late in the night no matter how early his mom gives him his medicine that's suppose to help him sleep and if he's up nobody else in the house can go to sleep and he pitches these fits and screams and yells and he pushes his mom and his granny and iam sick and tired of staying up all night and his mom and granny don't know what to do and when he gets in a fit he could really hurt somebody becouse he's really big what should we do i need to get to sleep early for once please help.

I can relate and understand how difficult this must be for your family to deal with, but think about how hard this is for him.

The best thing your family can do for him with this situation is to see his doctor and/or specialist. They will know more about your cousins autism and his poor sleeping habits.

I have worked with autistic kids since I was in junior high school, but I have never had a bad experience. I don't think many people on this site have had first hand experience with people with disabilities, so you may get some incorrect answers. That is why I suggest first and foremost speaking with his doctor.

If it's the medication that's not working, only the doctor can alter the dosage and/or type of medication.

For now, just try to be sympathetic. I'm sure it's very difficult for you to do so because you are around it constantly, but there isn't much your cousin can do to help with his fits - it's just part of his disability.

I understand his actions and the effects they have on you and your family, but this is a problem to take to his doctor.

Yes, I know I'm repeating myself, but I feel that the best advice you're going to get from the people on this site is to see the doctor since every case is different, and only his doctor and you, his family, knows what is right for him.

I'm going to be a senior this upcoming school year. I've been looking online at the colleges I want to go to, and it has these deadlines, like for fall semester, the dealine is July 15. Is that the deadline for the '08-'09 school year, or the '09-'10 school year? I would be in college for the '09-'10 year, so is that the deadline for me to apply?

There is no way that can be your deadline. I just graduated high school [today, actually], and for us, the deadline to apply for fall '08 was back in February or somewhere around that.

We were all supposed to find out about colleges and make decisions by May.
There are a few colleges accepting applications until July. One in Illinois as far as I know.

It could be your deadline, but it just seems too crazy that you would have to apply before your senior year even begins.

Ir shouldn't be your deadline, but if you check the website and read it more carefully, it may let you know for sure.

are there any ways to make mosquito bites go away faster? or to at least make the swelling go down.

another thing too, i always end up getting scars from the bites. i don't scratch them and they don't scab, but when they go away i end up with a dark spot where the bite used to be. why does that happen?

Wash the bite with soap and water as soon as possible. Rubbing soap directly onto the bite may help reduce the itching.
Baking soda and water - make a past and apply it to the bites.
Hold an ice cube or ice pack on the bite.
Rubbing alcohol often relieves the itch and swelling..
Calamine lotion
1% cortisone cream
Topical Anesthetics intended to relieve bug bites

okay i know this is goiong to sound really wierd but can you guys think of anything to do to keep like "intellectually sharp" over the summer. it always hits me hard when school starts at full blast and next year (11th grade if it helps) is going to be harder than ever with 2 AP classes, 2 college courses and a lot of new responsibility. Anyhow, if anyone has suggestions on like books or games or like anything to keep me thinking this summer...i'd appreciate it.
thanks!!

Any type of mind puzzle really helps. Sudoku, crosswords, even wordsearches can pose difficulty if it's for a more intermediate level.

Strategic games such as Checkers and Chess, Apples to Apples is a fun game that can teach you random information. Trivial Pursuit [junior and regular] are both great games.

If you have a facebook account, add the FreeRice application. It's basically a vocabulary quiz, but for every question you answer correctly, you help donate rice to poor countries [or something like that].

Anything that makes you think is very good for you.

I know this isn't a math help website but I thought it could help because I do need it. A word problem is "There are 2 children in the Brown family. The sum of their ages is 28 and product is 195. What are the ages?" I know the answer is 13 & 15 and that the equations are x+y=28, xy=195. What I don't know is how to solve the equation. Please help with the problem. Thanks so much! I will rate you if you help me arrive at the answer!

Wow, this seems complicated for an Algebra 1 problem. I don't even remember having to solve for zeros until I reached Algebra 2.

Then again, I took Algebra 1 my freshman year and I'm a senior about to graduate... maybe times have changed or maybe my memory just isn't that great.

Anyway, I wrote out the problem on an index card to make it easier to solve [it's quite difficult to type out all of the steps efficiently]

I have scanned it and hosted it, so all you have to do is click the link...

Im really Nervous..

My friends are so energetic and have great friends and can go up to boys and say hi and hug them. I just walk past them and say hi with no eye contact at all. Im really shy around people im not well aquainted with. So how will i get through highschool. My mom says in highschool your group of friends will sometimes go there on way. I cant live without my friends!If i lose them i might not make any friends at all and be a loner....

My brother says ill do better then my friends because...im not bipolar,or i wont go up to strangers and say HI and act retarded. He also told me not to be fake..

what advice do you guys and girls have on how to survive highschool,how to be less shy and make new friends, and how to talk to boys with more eye contact?

I know these may be alot of questions but it would be soooo helpful if you helped!

I actually graduate high school next week, so I can help you tons with this question.

The whole making friends thing is really easy. Just chat with people you sit near in classes. Of course, when the teacher asks you to be quiet you should stop talking, other than that - chat it up!

Join some clubs. I met some of my best friends in various clubs. There are a few upper-classman only clubs, but there aren't many of those. I'm sure you'll find something you can have fun with.

Seniors are not scary. There are some stuck up seniors who won't be seen around the "unpopular kids", but most of us aren't like that. Same goes for juniors and sophomores.

Don't become a leech. People hate it when you leech on to them and always follow them or hang around them.

Don't be a bratty student. I have a class that has students freshman through seniors. There are a few students in there who are always acting immature and while sometimes it's funny, most of the time it's annoying. Also, if your teacher has a "be seated when the bell rings" rule, DO IT! I can't count the amoung of times we haven't been aloud to leave on time because some aggravating freshman refused to sit down. It's a real pain in the butt.
Don't act like a know-it-all. Nobody will like you.
Don't lie about drinking/drugs/sex, etc. to fit in. It's just plain lame. Nobody cares whether or not you're a virgin or whether or not you're "hardcore". Don't dress preppy if you're a punk. Don't dress punk-ish if you're a prep. It doesn't work. You'll look like an idiot.

Try out for team sports. The worst that will happen is you don't make the team. It's not the end of the world. I can't play basketball to save my life, but I did get to be team manager. I met a bunch of awesome girls, I lettered in varsity basketball [just for being a manager], I got to know some coaches who I used to think we scary/mean, and I found out they were actually really cool. Plus, there is nothing more fun than riding on a team bus to away games. Holy crap.. the memories you make!

The best tip I can give you is to just relax. Have a "come what may" attitude. Don't freak out if you're late for a class because you got lost. Don't freak out about every bad grade. If you need help, go to tutoring. If you're smart enough, help others in the class. Learn to laugh at yourself. I've fallen down (and up) bleachers tons of times. I've tripped in class. I've snorted while laughing. I've had water come out of my nose from laughing really hard at lunch and drinking my water.
Don't unleash every problem you have on people.
This one freshman just randomly sat at my senior lunch table which happens to be all seniors. We let her sit there without being too rude to her. We just basically attempted to include her and be nice. One day she started unloading all these problems on us. None of us knew her. We barely talked to her. She totally freaked us out. We don't eat lunch with her anymore.

There are tons of tips I could give you.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to send me a message to my inbox. Otherwise, I hope this helps.

Oh, my biggest piece of advice:
HAVE FUN! High school goes by really quickly. Take it from a graduating senior...
These past four years have gone by insanely fast. I still remember my first semester of freshman year. I got lost the first day of school. I barely knew anyone in any of my classes. I only knew two girls in my lunch. I couldn't stand one of my teachers. I ditched class and got caught. I received my first ever Saturday-school detention.
It was a crazy semester. I look at myself now, graduating high school and going to the 3rd toughest college to get into in my state. These years have been great. Trust me, you'll make friends no problem. You may have a few enemies, too. Don't let it bother you. I had a disgusting rumor spread about me. Everytime I got mad about it, people talked more. When I learned to laugh along and just ignore it, people forgot about it.
Never let anyone get the best of you. Be yourself. Liars, cheaters, and brats get nowhere in life.

Here's advice a teacher gave me my freshman year. It's actually pretty good advice, too. I've taken it to heart.
"I loved high school and enjoyed myself there, and then I loved college. My advice: enjoy high school; live it up, but don't screw it up. Make sure you keep your grades where you can keep them, and make smart choices about classes and things. Sfter all, you kind of have to live for the now and the later at this point."

Basically, LIVE IT UP! Have FUN! Don't worry, be happy! haha.

Need anything else... let me know!

so, my friend, N, and i got together last night and we drank a little. i had 1 and a half beers, and she has two water bottles full of wine. she was drunk off her ass and i was still sober as hell. so we wanted to go on a walk to smoke a few but she got really tired and sick and threw up. then she fell asleep. so i went on a walk alone. (keep in mind this is at like, 12-12:30) and i was on the phone with my boyfriend, M. well M kept saying that he wouldnt mind walking to N's house so we could all hang out and stuff. M lives like 5 mins away, so yeah.

well im walking around alone on the phone and stuff? and so im paranoid. so eventually he convinces me to let him walk up. and in about 10 minutes he and i are smoking in the middle of the street, hanging out and stuff. well, then his brother calls and says that his parents know hes out. so M runs on home. his mom called my mom at 2am and tells her we went on a walk and hung out in the middle of the night. my mom called N's mom and N's mom bitched us out this morning.

i came on home, and surprisingly im not in any trouble at all. i was just warned about what would have happened and stuff. (my parents only know about the walk, they dunno about the smoking and drinking. neither do N's parents or M's parents) N feels like shes about to get bitched out bigtime since i left, and M is grounded for a month. he cant get on the computer, he cant talk on the phone, he cant even sleep in his room! he has to sleep in his MOTHER'S BATHROOM in a beanbag chair!

i feel terrible about all of this! hes in so much trouble and im in NONE and basically the only way im suffering from this is not being able to see M. is this really my fault? what should i do?

How old are you that his parents aren't allowing him to sleep in his own bedroom? That's just ridiculous!

Anyway, as the person before me stated, all parents have different punishments.

My parents have tried the grounding thing in the past, but they realized that it doesn't really work.
A lot of my friends get grounded for stupid reasons and they resent their parents for it.

Instead of lecturing you on underage drinking and smoking or on being out past curfew and whatnot, I'm going to tell you that you don't have much to feel guilty about.

Now, if the friend whose house you were staying at hadn't done anything wrong, then you should feel guilty. Although she didn't go anywhere, she had been drinking, so she deserved to get punished.
Your boyfriend snuck out of his house. You didn't ask him to, he wanted to. That deserves to get punished.
You snuck out of your friends house and were drinking - that deserves to get punished.

Whether or not you were all punished, and no matter what information your parents do and don't have, each one of you did something wrong.

Yes, some punishments were more severe than others, but everyone should know their parents well enough to be able to know what punishment they will get if caught doing something wrong.

No matter what wrong act was done, nobody should be forced to sleep on a bean bag chair in a bathroom - that's just crazy.

Just chill out - you shouldn't feel guilty.
Kids have to realize that there is always a possibility of getting caught when doing something wrong. Either understand that and be willing to accept responsibility if caught, or don't break the rules.

I'm only a freshman but I've been thinking about class colors, song, and that kind of stuff since graduation is comming up and I'm seeing all of the seniors enjoy everything.

The Seniors class song is, "Dancing in the moonlight" by King Harvest. I'm really jealous of their song, it's a feel good kind of song but it also is sad when it comes to graduation. So any ideas for our class song? Something just as good if not better as Dancing in the Moonlight? I was hoping for something not too new, not something that plays on the radio every day. I want a song we'll all remember 20 years from now and say wow, what a good song.

I thought maybe "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey but I wish I could think of something better..

I'm not a stupid girl, but I did something incredibly dumb. I was in kind of a depression fopr a while and I compeltely lost myself, this guy contcted me through a website and we started talking. He made me feel better and i loved talking to him but soon it became something incredibly creepy. he is in his 40's, which I did not know at first, and he says horrible graphic things to me. when i dont respond he calls me a bitch, slut, tease etc. then he aplogizes later and tells me he loves me? I started to get really really scared so I blocked him everywhere i could. He messages me through myspace and I don't respond, i put my profile on private.

it's been 2 weeks and he still tries to contact me. I got TONS of friend requests on myspace of people I dont know and they are all myspaces made that dya, w/ no friend,s so I think it is him... He messaged me and told me he missed me. Looking bck at our conversations he got alot of information out of me because I stupidly thought it wouldnt be a big deal! I'm really scared, I think he could find out where I live, he won't leave me alone, what should I do?

he says things to me like "you're my barbie doll, my sex slave" I start crying when he sends me things like that.

I don't want to go to the police because my parents aren't normal, they are psychotic and they would look at me going to the police as embarressing them. They would for sure kick me out or something horrible if they found out.

I told ym boyfriend, I don't think that's enough. Is there something I can say to him that would make him stop? How do you handle crazy people, should I ignore im or tell him off or be nice about it?

YOU NEED TO TELL THE POLICE!
I don't care how embarrased you think your parents will get or any of that, and you shouldn't care either.

Your life is a lot more important than allowing this to continue.

No, there is nothing you can say to make this guy stop. He is going to continue harrassing you. What you need to do is save any messages he has sent you. There isn't much anyone can do without proof. Continue ignoring this guy. Continue blocking anything of his that comes your way. You're right - those random friend requests are probably him. You should NEVER add anyone you don't know to your myspace, facebook, etc. and I'm sorry that it took something bad like this to happen for you to realize that.

I'm not going to sit here and chastise you for giving out personal information. You know how stupid of a move that was and I'm sure you've learned your lesson.

As of right now, just continue ignoring him.
If you gave him your city - that's not good, but your city doesn't give away too much. If he knows your city and grade - he could find a few schools you might attend. If he knows your city, grade, and school - or if he just knows your school - that's dangerous. It's even worse if you're in a certain club or sports team and he knows. Even worse if he has your first and last name.

If you gave him anything that could track you to your school, he can find your house.


If you're frightened to go to the police because of a family situation, know this much...

Ignoring him MAY help you. He may get tired and leave you alone. BUT, he may move on to someone else.
Do you want what is happening to you to happen to someone else? I'm sure you don't.

Besides, ignoring him might not even work. He may come find you.

Your only sensible option that WILL work is to save anything and everything he has been sending you. Print things out when you get them [once some things are deleted, it's difficult to impossible to get them back], and CALL THE POLICE!

Your life could be in some serious danger because of some crazy internet stalker. Do not put yourself through this.
Your parents would much rather go through this ordeal then find their daughter dead.

If your parents did something crazy like try and kick you out for this, I'm sure you could find a relative or your boyfriends family to take you in.
You're 17 - I'm guessing you're a junior or senior. That means going off to college soon. You won't have to deal with your parents much longer.
Going to the police is WORTH IT!
I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but you need to hear this.
Go to the police.
This needs to stop - for good.

Ok, I remember a music video and i think it was by Reba. It was her and she meets this guy and keeps running into him and then they meet at the coffee shop. I really want to know the song name and I havent' heard the song in a long time.

Aww, I love this song!

The song is called somebody.

"Somebody" by Reba

At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
Keep on lookin'
'Cause maybe who you're lookin' for is..."

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a stranger's face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl
From two floors up
Maybe she's the one
Maybe he could fall in love with

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there
Is somebody

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why
He searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there
Oh somewhere out there is somebody


Those are the lyrics, HERE is a link to the music video.

my friend and i were on her facebook and i could see a bunch of peoples pgs even tho they werent friends with her and i just made a facebook like a couple minutes ago and i cant see anyones pgs!! im sure i could if i was friends with them but i want to see the pgs of people im not friends with like the ones that dont have a privacy block or whatever! how come i cant?? there is this boy and i want to see his pg bcause i could on hers even tho they werent friends but it wont let me!!! PLEASE HELP :)

You can only see the pages of those who are in the same network as you AND who do not have a privacy block.

I have some friends who, no matter what network you're in, won't let you see their page unless you're on their friends list.

So, you're going to have to add him or add his network.
Getting into certain networks can be difficult. To get into a college network you need your college e-mail and password [and it has to be legit]. To get into a high school network you need someone from that school to confirm you as attending that high school [and someone to invite you]. The only network you can get into easily is a regional network.

Im in 7th grade and 13 yrs old. My little group of friends is, 'bri', 'jay', 'cody', 'AJ', and 'Vance'. My best friend is bri. She is leaving at the end of the year and so i will just hang out with all the other guys in my group. THE PROBLEMOOOO: I like jay. I'm pretty positive jay likes me. i think he sorta thinks i like him, but he is just afraid to ask me out. How do i encourage jay to ask me out? Please dont dont say like try to hint himmm. ive tried that , ireally just want him to ask me out. should i tell? WHAT DO I DO?

If he just isn't getting the hint, you'll have to step up to the plate.

If you don't want to come right out and ask him out, you can at least give him a note or tell him that you have a crush on him.

If he likes you, he'll take it to the next level. He will be more confident to ask you out because he knows that you won't reject him.

If you're brave enough, you can ask him out.
Remember, it's just as hard for a guy to ask out a girl as it is for a girl to ask out a guy.

Worst case scenario - he'll say no. That doesn't mean you can't continue being friends.

do you really think that a drunk mind speaks a sober heart ?

I've been around a lot of people who have been drinking, and I believe that, in a lot of cases, that very saying is true.

Now, we all know that people can get a little loopy if they have had too much to drink, and they aren't always truthful. [They'll go around saying crazy things], but when it comes to love - from my experience - it's usually pretty close to the truth if not the truth in its entirety.

Lately i've been having really intense cravings for cigarettes but you see i've never smoked. Practically everyone in my family smokes though so i'm always breathing it in ever since i was little. I mean what should i do i mean i've never smoked so its not like i can go on the patch for something i haven't done. I mean is it even possible for me to have these intense cravings for something i haven't done? Or is it just my mind playing tricks on me or something?

Please help cause i think any day now i'm gonna cave and just light one.

To be honest with you, I don't know if you can actually be addicted to second hand smoke.

I don't smoke, but I'm constantly around friends and family members who do. As much as I hate the habit, I've begun to enjoy the scent.

I can't honestly say that I have had cravings for the smoke, so I do not know if it's possible to be addicted to second hand smoke.

"Crack babies", babies whose mothers have smoked/done drugs while pregnant, are technically addicted to whatever drug their mothers had ingested. I don't see why, even though you're not smoking, you can't be "second-hand addicted" to cigarettes.

The best thing for you is to "quit" cold turkey. Try to refrain from being around people who are smoking. I understand how difficult it must be since you live with smokers, but try to just go outside while they're smoking - go for a walk or something.

I doubt that it's just your mind playing tricks. If you have to, try speaking with your parents. Don't light one - that will make it worse. Your addiction will grow if you actually smoke one for yourself. I don't know the hazards of taking addiction breaking medicine if you're not actually addicted. That is something you'll have to speak to your doctor and/or pharmasist about. Either one of them should have some ideas of what you can do to help.

I have dated one guys for 5 years now an he has cheated on me 17 times. I moved out from his house an now i live with someone i really get along with. Everytime i try to break up with the other guy he begs me not to do it that he will change. Please i need so advice on how to tell him i dnt want him no more

This guy cheated on you 17 times and you're still partially with him?
Get his sorry butt out of your life! Nobody deserves to be treated that way.

Call him up, refuse to let him speak, and tell him that you have more respect for yourself than he ever will. He has had 17 chances. The first one was to not break your heart. He then cheated. You gave him another chance to not break your heart, he cheated again. That's two strikes... and in the game of love, you don't get a third - especially for a cheater.

Stick with the guy who treats you right. Why would you want anything less than the best?

13/f
So I'm taking a babysitters course, and the last lesson is tomorrow. I basically am good at everything, the price, how to babysit, etc. But the problem, is . . . How do I babysit little kids? In my house? Their house? My parents are pretty strict about going to peoples houses, same with our house. It can't be too far either. I really wanna make money because I'm pretty low on cash. Where do I babysit them? and if it helps, I live in BC.

Normally, you babysit in the home of the children you're watching. It's much easier because all of their toys and things are there, plus, if you're babysitting at night, it's where you put them to bed.

I'm sure that if you're babysitting people they know [I'd stick with babysitting for neighbors, friends, etc.] then it won't be a problem doing it at their homes.

So, babysit at their house. They'll have toys, movies, tv, computers, their own rooms & their own things to do.
Because of how young you are, I don't think that you're ready to take the kids anywhere yet. I would stay at their house. Being outside in their yard is fine, but I would wait until you're more experienced before taking them to a neighborhood park or anything. I'm 17 and I still don't do that very often.
