Hey!
I live in Canada and I'm teen. I've been through a lot of stuff with my friends over the last few years and I always try to give my insight into their problems (sometimes even when they don't really want it lol).
I've realized that over time I have accumulated a lot of questions about moving on, so if you have a question about that, lay it on me!!
I don't think that ratings matter, and that you should choose someone to trust your question with, that will answer it with care, but show you what the world really is and wont sugar coat it.
I hope you guys find my advice helps, hope to talk soon!! :D
Angie

How do you get a guy to notice you that doesnt know you exist? (link)
|
Hey,
well it depends on a few things, if he is in one of your classes it will be a lot easier, because you have some connection to him, if he's just some random guy in thehall that you are just in love with, then maybe you should concentrate on finding someone easier to be with, and leave him to the imagination. It sucks, but I really doubt that in a huge school, you will be able to get his attention, unless you join a club he's in or
So lets say he sits near you in class, well then you can ask him questions or help him with his questions. You can also bring up random stuff to talk about when you are near by him. Learn about his intrests, and join a club he's in. If you're shy, try to burst out of your bubble and joke around with him, ask him to be in your group for a project. Or draw a funny picture of the substitue teacher or something like that. If you want him to get your number, then write it on the sheet under your name (if you sign it, pretending to be an artist). Invite him to a party, or try to find as many ways as possible to get his attention. Once you get to know him better, then everytime you see him in the hallway, wave, or smile, or say hello.
Those are just a few ways to get his attention. If you need anymore help, let me know! Hope I helpped. Love ya!

My friends really make me mad! They say that if I bring my boyfriend to the dance that there not going to go. Thing is, I really like him a lot and we have been dating for like 4 months now. Should I let what they say affect my decision or not. Im so confused and I feel like crying!! Nothing even happened between them. They just do not like him. I asked them why and they said they dont know why but they just dont like him. (link)
|
Well hopefully I can give some insight. I am going through what your friends are going through right now. I have this friend who has a new boyfriend, and we all seem to pick out reasons to hate him. I actually have reasons not to like him, (long story) but my other friends just dont like him because it's something to talk about. For a couple of weeks, we spent every conversation talking about the two of them. And we still do. And you know my friend probably did everything in her power to get us to like him, but first impressions are super hard to break. I think what you should do, is weigh the options, and figure out which is more important to you. I think the main reason your friends don't like him is that he is stealing you from them. So I think taht unless this dance is the most important night of the year for you and _____ then you should ask him if he would be okay either not going or to hang with his friends there. Tell him that its nothing against him, but you need to be with your friends. And this is a MAJOR detail. NEVER talk about your friends to ______! Good or bad. it's just not a good idea, if you need to let off steam write in a diary, but do not talk about your friends. That made me the angriest. When I'd tell my bff something and I'd turn around and her bf was pissed off and yelling at me. That was the worst. And if you go through problems with _____ don't talk about him either. That will just make things worse, because your friends will talk about him, and then they'll hate him more, because they get the adrenilin rush from talking about him.
Make sure that you make at least as much time for all of your friends as your bf. And for the first little while, if it means ditching ______ do it, if your friends know that you'll always be there for him, then they'll be less hesitant to let you go with him. Make sure you keep working on the relationship with your bf, but also with your bffs! I know you're mad at your friends, but they mean well, they are doing all of this to protect you. They love you and wish you were able to be with them all of the time. So why are you mad at them? Well they dont like mr. right. well why should they? he's just some guy you're ditching them for. Of course thats not how you feel, but thats how they feel. They have absoulutly no reason to like him.So you have to find a creative way to show them that he means something to you. But that may not be a good idea untill you are in great terms with your friends.
Honestly, it seems like what I'm saying is stupid, and that by giving in to their demands that your just compromising your relationship with _____ but to be honest, who have you known longer? Who have you spents friday nights with, or stayed up super late talking to about that guy you saw in the hall? Those are your friends, and you need to keep them at your side. Boys will come and go, but your friends are forever.
I said that to my bff, and she said that wasnt the case this time, and I cried. So my point is, he's more than "just a guy" to you, but to them he isnt, and it is extremely important that you pretend that thats how you feel too. He is just your boyfriend, and to be honest, you're in highschool (right?), it'd be pretty rare that you will still be dating him in the next months or years. But if you continue this relationship with your friends, it may last forever.
So right now, think about whether you are willing to give up all of your friends for one guy (because all of them will leave if you choose that option, because then you're the girl who chose a guy she dated for four months over her bffs)and if you want to do that, then go ahead, do it now, no point in delaying. But if you think that your friends are more important than one dance, then apologize to ______ and make a date for the next day.
Just know that there are two roads, and you have to pick one, the one with the boyfriend as the side dish (for now) or the one with no friends.
I know that I seemed pretty harsh, and I'm sorry if I said anything that may have hurt your feelings, but you are going to incounter this problem again and again until you show your friends that you are "sorry" for acting "stupid" and that they mean more to you. And maybe_____ will get upset and decide to take a break or something, but hopefully, that wont happen. Just tell him that he's really important to you, and be honest. Everything should turn out okay. And I really hope that it does. I know that this is a really tough situation because I'm stuck in the same place, but I also know that if my friend had actually told me that I was more improtant (even if it wasnt true) I would have felt better, and I would probably resent her bf less. So please keep all of the things that I have said in mind, even if you do not take my advice. Good luck with all of your relationships, and feel free to ask me anything again. I really hope it works out for you. Lots of love,

hey hey =]
fifteen//femalee
kay, well to make a sorta long story super short, there's a guy i like and he used to be in one of my classes, but we rarely ever talked, even then. i liked him then but couldn't get up the courage to talk to him, and he doesn't know that i like him. now he's not in any of the same classes as me, but some of my friends are in classes with him. i don't talk to him outside of school, like, ever. he's never on aim and he doesn't update his myspace. how should i talk to him to get to know him? should i get his number? wouldn't it be super awkward to just go up to him one day and ask for his number? and also, wouldn't it be a little weird to find out his number otherwise and just call him up randomly one day? what should i do to, i dono, break the ice with him?
i guess i'm trying to ask, how should i go about trying to get to know this guy better? what i know about him i like a lot already, and i just want to get closer to him and for him to get to know me too. we say hi to each other in the halls every day, and one time he stopped in the middle of a crowded hall just to turn around to say hi to me. i don't know if he was just being nice or what. anyway, sorry for this being semi-long. thanks in advanceee.

Don't worry, I dont mind :P
Well the same sort of thing happened to a friend of mine, she was in a club with this guy she liked, and they were like paired up as partners, and they sorta got to know each other, and she had a super huge crush on him, well then the club ended for the year and she didnt know what to do to get to still keep talking to him. But they had a lot of the same interests so she joined another club he was in and asked him for help, because honestly she had no idea how to do anything (lol) so she got to spend some more time with him, but the club was only on for like a month and a half, and she didnt get to show him how she really felt, so she joined some weird club to be with him for no reason. So if you do something like that, make sure you have the courage to actually tell him that you like him (or something of the sorts)
You could play the game a lot of people seem to play, where they get their friends to ask him if he likes you or if he wants to go out with you or whatever. But you have to think about that. You have to figure out if he's the type of guy who will actually listen to what people say about you, or will he just shake them off and think that it would have been better for you to just be up front with him.
You know it's kinda funny, all guys are different, but for some, they just think that they would rather a girl just tell them. But some guys would just be freaked out. So you kinda have to judge by the guy, whether or not he would be happy that you just told him, or would he think that was stupid. If you do that, I'd say it would probably be best to ask one of his friends to get him to meet you somewhere (like the back stair case at school or the door outside the library) so you could tell him.
You could try and sit near by him and his friends at lunch, but you should bring a friend or two with you then to help the confidence levels up.
A way to get him with your phone number in his pocket, would be to throw a party, and have an invite list. I know it seems kinda weird, but if you print out peices of paper with your address and phone number and make sure he gets one, then he will definatly have it right?
Another important thing to keep in mind, is that if you dont hang out with each other for a while that connection the two of you had when you were in the same class will fade, so you have to keep he energy up and everytime you see him smile and wave, or say hey____, if he's not looking at you directly because that way when he gets your number (whether you give it to him, or a friend or the invitation or whatever) he'll remember all those times you tried to get his attention. And also thats a great way to monitor whether he is getting annoyed by you or he still likes you (as a friend or more)
Theres also this cheesy thing that I read in a book once, and you'll probably thinks it's stupid, but I just realized that it might actually work... What you do, it you write a not in two different hand writings (like say you and a friend, or just like two different styles of writing) and pretend that you're two different gossips talking about how much _____ likes you. It doesnt have to be true, but that will start a rumour going, and once you have a rumour going around, then when he hears it (and he will) he'll think... hmmm ______ yeah I know her, I don't like her that way now, but maybe... It might work to get you into his head. But that might not work, so you dont have to take that advice if you dont want to (lol) but it's creative and sounds kinda fun. If nothing happens after a few days you can try spreading the rumour by mouth too, get a friend to be like "I heard _____ likes that girl over there" word of mouth will definatly work, but you have to have super good friends who are totally willing to help. And if you do that and someone says: "oh so I hear _____ likes you" (and they will) be all nochaluant and say hmmm really? Thats interesting, and the person will think you're lying (which you are) and if they're really into gossip they'll spread it around.
But enough of that incase you dont like that idea, you can try to find something that he would enjoy, like say he likes books, and get a copy, then talk to him about it, and then ask him if he wasnt to borrow it sometime, and if he does then slip a peice of paper with your name and phone number on it and when he finds it, maybe he'll keep it. But that only works for somethings.
That's all I've got for now, but I'll keep thinking, and if none of those work for you, you can ask me again, but every guy and every girl is different, so if you want more help, why don't you give me a few more details :D!
I hope I sparked some inspiration in you and maybe one of those ideas will work for you, if not, then let me know. I hope I answered your question :s. Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask again. Love ya,

so...
how do i move on... :( (link)
|
sorry I didnt get back to you earlier, that sucks, moving on is really hard sometimes, but when you think about it, everything you dont want to do is hard right? So if you make it something that is a good think it will be easier. you spent like how many was it? 21? months with this guy, and its going to be tough because he was such a big influence on your life, but you have to think on.
Think of everything about him that made you mad. Think of all the things he held you back from. Think of being single as a good thing. Before this, most of your time was spent thinking of him, so we need to find something (or someone) to think about. There are lots of things that you can do to get your mind off of him, whether its calling up one of your friends for hours one day, or just going out to a movie or a sports game. Surround yourself in things you love that dont remind you of him. And I know its a lot harder than it sounds, but try not to think of him. Just try your hardest to think of other things, and if whatever you are doing makes you think of him find something else to do.
If you want to find someONE else to concentrate on, then thats a good idea too. Alot of people say not to concentrate on guys because you're on the rebound, and it isnt very fair to start dating someone so you can have that rebound and make your ex jealous. So instead find three or four guys, that you just couldnt see yourself dating, but look appealing, and are nice and sweet (or whatever you look for in a guy) that ar totally opposite of your ex. Then concentrate on them. Find a guy in every class at school. Someone to keep your mind off him, and they dont have to be someone youre in love with or anything just someone who's nice to look at. You never know, you may look at someone in a totally different way. But like I said, I wouldnt suggest going out with any of them, because your on the rebound, once you're totally over your ex and you still like the guys, then I guess I'd give to go ahead.
As far as finding a date for the formal dance, because I think you thought that was a pretty big deal right? well I think I suggested finding a bff to hang out with there, but if you do that, make sure you stress to them that its just as a friend thing as to not give them the wrong idea. And if you can't find anyone right away, ask one of your friends to ask around. It sounds desperate, but I think that if you want to go, then its not wise to blame your ex for your fun, because you're moving on and you shouldnt hold a grudge. However, that is a positive thing to think about if you are thinking about the good things about being single right?
Now for the feelings part. Its extremely (EXTREMELY) important for you not to keep things bottled inside. I don't know if you like writing poetry, or painting or sketching or singing or playing guitar or whatever you enjoy, try to find away to incorperate your feelings and let them all out. Another idea, that I have, that as far as I know works really well, is writing. See you want to gossip, you want to tell your friends how mad you are through gritted teeth, but thats a bad idea. Firstly because you're going to say things that hurt because he hurt you. So you have to wait to talk about it until after you're over him, and second because no matter what you say in confidence to someone, its either going to get twisted, like that game telephone, or it will get to him and he'll get hurt. so if you write letters to yourself, then you can get it all out, and tell yourself how to work it out without hurting others or him. Because no matter how much he hurt you, he doesnt deserve the things you might say.
Next I would recommend writting him a letter. Once you've come to terms with the situation, then you can talk to him about what he did to you, in a way that is non judgemental and non critical. It's really important to tell him how you feel without hurting him, and he'll probably want to talk to you about it, but tell him you arent ready. And when you are, call him because then you make the first move and remember to keep your calm and dont argue with him, even if he raises his voice just try and calm down, or tell him you'll call him back later when he's had the time to calm down. or maybe it wont be like that, but it's probably best to prepare for the worst.
I'm not sure if there is much else for you to do, but just remember to keep active, and try not to talk about him, or to him if you arent ready, and just try and keep going with life. You will date again, but you dont have to until your ready, and that may be a few weeks, or a month, or a year, just try to adjust to life being single again. It might be rough, but keep your friends by your side, and you'll be okay. If you need anything else, or you have any questions,ou can either ask me another question, or email me @ Princess_in_pink723@hotmail.com. Hope you get over this quickly and pain free, though I know thats quite unlikely. Good luck,
Angie91

i am a good singer (not to brag...) but i am to scared to ever sing in front of anyone. i no if i like tryed out for american idol or something i would make it but i am afraid that if i do sing in public i will not beable to. i cant even present in school without totally freaking out! how do i get rid of the butterflys and not care of what other people think about me? (link)

Everyone has problems with nervousness, but thats what tells you to keep goinging. Even the best singers get nervous, if you get to a point where you do something and you dont get nervous, then you shouldnt be in it any more. As far as getting over it, everyones different, and you just have to keep trying and find what every that little trick is for you to get over your problem. I think that one thing that might work is what worked for me, get up there and pretend you're better than everyone in that room. Because they arent up on that stage are they? they are sitting and watching you and your talent. And if you have the talent to sing, and they dont, then they cant be upset if you mess up, because I'd like to see them try and do what I do kinda thing.
You just have to figure out what works for you. Hope you can get ove this confidence thing, and I hope I helpped you a bit. Maybe one day I'll see you on American Idol! Love,

Me and my bf dated for 21 months and then we broke up because we needed to work things out (hes in his first yr of college 45 min. away) and im a jr. we fought alot so we thats what were working on. Anyways i have a formal dance coming up on friday and he told me he'd come but now he's not. I know this for a fact cuz someone told me and he hasnt called me yet to tell me that he isnt coming. How do i react? Im very hurt by this and its in 4 days and he hasnt called yet to tell me this....
i really want him to go
and please dont say well maybe he is going and that person is wrong. cuz i know that person is telling the truth
what do i say? how do i react? (link)
|
Well it kinda sucks that he's not going, but if I got that correctly, he wants to break up, or you both want to break up(?) so I guess he doesnt have to go, but he should at least have the courtesy to tell you that he doesnt want to go with you. I think you should probably just go to the dance alone, or oh wait, it's formal, if you need a date, see if one of your male friends can step in. Just incase he does bail. But I guess theres a one in amillion chance he could show up last minute on impaulse. But if you want to forget that chance, call him and tell him you found someone else to go with. You cant really force him to go with you, but he's a jerk for abandoning you.
It's tough when a guy doesnt tell you how he's feeling and leaves you to guess, but theres really nothing else you can do. He hurt you, so I'd say, you should probably get ready to move on, if you need some tips on moving on, let me know.
Just remember you're better than any jerk that doesnt have the common courtesy to pick up a phone and tell you he's bailing. I hope you can find someone else to go with, and I hope you have an awesome time at the dance. Sorry I couldnt give you any more help, but I think you should just try and move on. Hope I helped you a bit anyway. And thanks for asking! Lots of Love,

I skipped school with this boy i really liked but my mom was always on my cas eand if she had just given me a little breathing room i wouldn't have done it but i did. And, i feel punishment was justifiable but do you thin that it is fair that he can't take me to my senior prom and he is the only reason that i want to go? I asked her if i could go by myself and she said no. Than at the last minute she got mad at me because i din't go to my prom and said that i should drive myself but why does she have to lie so much even though if i would have known that i could drive myself i would have came up with a plan so we could go together. (link)
|
You know, I'd be a nice guy and say "Oh your mom's an idiot," or "She was so totally wrong" but even with the stuff you said to back up your statement, I don't have enough information to make an accusation such as the one the person before me made. Yeah it probably was pretty unfair of your mom to say that you couldnt go to prom and change her mind at the last second, but Mom's are just trying to protect you. And she probably thinks that you're out getting in trouble, and you have to realize that trust is a privilage not a right. If you do something to tel her you can't be trusted when you're around him (ie skipping school) she can't be expected to trust you 100% of the time, (especially seeing as prom night has a bad rep for teens going out and having sex) and she wants to protect you.
I don't know what you did (or didn't do) in the first place to make her feel like she can't give you breathing room, but whatever it was, it shouldn't matter. You did what every teen does and rebelled. But just because every teen does it, it doesn't make it right. So for that you are at fault.
As far as whether or not it's fair or unfair for the prom thing, I couldn't say, but it seems to me like you and your mom need to talk alittle bit. It is important to have a strong relationship with your mom, and even though sometimes, it feels like you just can't stand her, she has reasons for everything she says, and if you can talk to her about it, then you can build up the trust and be able to show her what you see in your guy.
So is your mom wrong? I don't know, why don't you talk to her and see for yourself.
I know that some of my advice is something you may not want to hear, but you've gotta admit, that whether or not I'm right, doesn't matter what matters is your relationship with your mom. And you've gotta work to get that working because you're getting older, and you only have to live with her for a bit longer. Soon you'll be on your own, and you have to take the responsibility and take insiative, and work on your relationship before it's too late. Good Luck, and I hope you realize that it's more than just a prom, it's a life long relationship. Love,

I have been singing for a couple years now.. but my voice its still in training.
My question is, how do you make an airy voice stronger?
Thanks (link)
|
I've taken professional singing lessons, so hopefully I can help. One of the most important things to remember when you are singing is to support your voice with a lot of breath. You have to breathe deep from the diaphram, and make sure that when you breathe your shoulders don't go up and down, because that means that you are breathing wrong (lol). You have to make sure your voice isnt strained, and that means warming up quite a bit. Make sure that you try to warm up past your usual highest and lowest notes. Try singing in the shower (lol) because the warm air opens up your vocal cords. Also you can try to lie on your back and sing Ho Ho Ho or Ha Ha Ha, short words and press on your stomach. It should go up and down, if it doesnt you're singing wrong. If all else fails, I guess you will just have to find a singing teacher and ask her for advice :S. Good luck, and I hope I helped a bit. If you have any other questions let me know :)!

ok well like i have braces and its not so bad as everyone thinks... buti guess i havent gone to the bad part....i have had them for 11 months so far, but i have a few problems...
1. If i close my mouth i still have an overbite, not as big....but my molars n premolars touch.
2. if i touch my bottom and top teeth, then my molars and premolars DON'T touch.
3. My gums are weird, while i was flossing with that special plastic needle, like the needle went under the gum, part of it is detached on both sides, so it's symmetrical.
4. it hasnt controlled over my teeth so it might be normal?
and also...i have little ripples on the end of my teeth and i have this extremely..and i mean extremely small chip on the end of the first one, so will they saw that down to make it look perfect? cause then my teeth will look REALLY SMALL!
BODY:
1. umm.well my breasts look like they sag but they r like a 'c' cup and when i really look at it.. they dont really sag, just large and natural so they look a little saggy even though they may not. cause you know when someone has a low cut shirt n small breasts u see that the breasts have 'oomph' at the top? well mine dont, probly because of the weight. i dont know any help that is actually reassuring will be much appreciated... thank you! (link)

Well I'm not really sure what to say about the body part, but I have braces. I've had them for just over two years now, and I think I'm supposed to be getting them off soon, lets pray anyway. You're right, they arent that bad, but you have gotten over the bad part at least I havnt had any problems since 11 months, so you should be fine. As far as your overbite, there are two things that could be happening. Either you have elastics (these tiny clear elastics that strech from your top teeth down you your bottem teeth) and you arent wearing them often enough, or you don't have them yet. But don't worry your orthodontist has a plan for you. Either (s)he'll give you some, or (s)he wont and you're teeth will just fix themselves. The thing is, you arent supposed to have you're front teeth on the top and bottom touch all the time. they are supposed to fit just behind them. So if they arent like that yet, be patient and they will soon. Even if you get your braces off and they arent perfect, you'll get a retainer which will also help.
As far as flossing, maybe you shouldn't use the needle, but floss instead. Like I know the needle is what they often tell you to use, but regular floss works just as well. I'm fairly sure after a few days your gums will go back to normal. If not, see your dentist or othrodontis and ask about other flossing options.
I'm not quite sure what you ment by number four, but if it's a concern of yours again, talk to your dental care professionals and tel them that you really care about your teeth and you would just really appreaiate being filled in on whats going on.
I think I know what you mean by ripples, and I think I have them too, I doubt its a big deal. But yeah, talk to someone if it bothers you. Whats the worst they can say. I highly doubt that they would saw down your teeth, because they arent paid to do it, but you can always ask.
Hope I helpped. Hope you get awesome teeth soon!

Will replacing soda and only drinking water as a drink really make you lose weight? If so, why? (link)
|
Probably, because you are limiting the amount of sugar that is being digested. There is a lot of sugar in pop and if you get rid of that from your diet your weight should go down, but if you also replace it with water then you arent putting any sugar in (which is good and bad) it is good because you are taking out the bad things from your diet, also water flushes out your system, the more water you drink, the more often you will get rid off the other things that need to be flushed from your system.
But you are also doing harm. Your body needs sugar, because your blood gulcose needs sugar otherwise you can faint or go even go into a coma. So you need to be careful to not take all of the sugar out of your diet.
If you are planning to ajdust your diet though, I would suggest that you see a nutrionist. But if you arent planning on loosing alot of weight or anything then that isnt that serious, and you should just try and drink about a litre of water a day, and then drink other drinks like juice on the side.
Hope that helps alittle. Lots of Love,

I've ordered Friends 1 - 10 0n dvd which hasn't come yet and i've just been reading the reviews on a website.
Someone has said that there's an extra episode on one of the dvd's that was never aired on TV and that it's rated 15.
Is that true? No one else has mentioned it.
Thank you x (link)
|
That's interesting. I kind of doubt that they would actually make another episode of friends and not air it on television concidering the amount of money they make on each episode. But it is possible I suppose. However, you may have misunderstood. They will often make episodes longer than the 23 minutes they need for an episode to be aired and they will keep the extra footage and use it in the DVD collections. So that might have been what they ment ont eh site.
Also, I have seasons 5-9 and there werent any extra episodes ont hem, but I don't know anyone who has 1-4 or 10 so I suppose it's possible that it could be in one of those seasons.
So I'm not sure whether or not you are going to get an extra episode or something like that. But I guess you wont know for sure until you get the order. Hope you have fun watching friends. Love,
Angie91

16/f. im really shy unless i know you REALLY well. i just moved to a new school as well. i hate this because a ton of guys think im pretty then they talk to me and realize i barely talk much and im pretty shy so they dont ask me out. how can i learn to be more outgoing and more social? (link)

I think that the best way to overcome shyness is to get out there and meet a lot of people. Join a lot of clubs, and try things that you wouldnt usually do, and then ask the kids who know what they're doing how to participate, and that will give you reasons to talk to people which will give them a chance to get to know you better. And then eventually one of the people you know from one club will turn up in another one, and you will have something else to talk about.
It probably sounds kind of scary to go out there and, it is a lot harder than it sounds, but try and jump out and talk to people if you find people in clubs, then you will probably have something in commom, which leaves something for you to do together. I hope I helped you out alittle, just remember that you arent the only shy kid out there, there are lots of us, and the only way to get over it is to try your best to meet more people. So I hope that you can get through this. Good luck!

first sign out of your friends account. Go to the left hand side of the screen. It will say welcome_______ and at the bottom of that section it says logout, so do that. You should be led to a page that is basically the homepage, and it gives you the option of registering or signing up. Click that and it should lead you through the steps. You'll need to give your own email adress. Hope that helps!! Welcome to Advicenators!

I think the first thing you should do is think of somethings that come to your mind when it comes to him. Whats the first thing that you think of when you hear his name. Think of the best gift for you. and think of what that same gift would be for him. Think of what he's into, where he's travelled, any interesting stories he's ever told you. Think of something that you could get/ make him that would show that you really listen and are really into him. Think of what you bought him for christmas and how to top that. Ask his friends and family what he wants or needs. Think back months to remember exactly what he's told you. What does he really need? What wpuld be a nice gift for him to get. Is there something that the two of you could do together, or something that could bring him closer to his friends or family. Is there a talent that you have that you could use to make the best gift (or card ever) Is there something that he's dreamt of doing for years but something was always holding him back. Does he have an ambitions? Does he like a new band or movie that he'd like to see? Is there anything that he absoulutly can't live without?
Go through walmart or target or a store thats similar(wher ever you live) and go through the aisles and look for things that are totally unique or things that he needs but wouldn't think of to go out and buy.(such as fingernail clippers, or batteries.)Look around his room next time you're there, is there anything missing from his walls? Does he need a new pillow? Is there a poster he might want? Does he need a picture of you? Does he have any framed pictures? Does he have a hobby that you could help support (like art, and buy paper and paint). Does he need a new comforter and sheet set for his bed (lol are the batman sheets being outgrown yet?jk)? Does he need som enice clothes for your dates (ie a band new sweater or pants).
There are millions of things that if you think about them for a long while, then you can find the perfect gift. Don't freak out, I'm sure you'll find something. And no matter what, he'll love anything you get him. Good luck, and I hope I sparked some inspiration in you. Lots of love and happy holidays, Angie91

Alright, so I have over a hundred CDs of programs for the computer, such as games, art, informational, etc. Most of the games are for younger players though (younger than 15) and they're also sort of old. Also, most of them are from before there was Windows XP, but I assume some will work on XP.
Anyway, I have no use for them since I don't play them, but maybe someone else will. What should I do with them? (link)

well if you are looking for money back, then you could try taking them to pawn shops or go to a video game store and ask the staff what they would do with them. But if you don't want money and jsut want to make sure they don't go to waste, then you can donate them to a charity near by, that can go to children, in need. You never know some kids may have a computer and need something to do, but most likely thats a long shot. But there are some thrift stores, that will take your donations, and sell the games, and then donate the money to a charity. Also you could take them to an elementary school near by that has a lot of young kids. Or give them to neighbours, or family. For the ones that are really new and can work on most computer systems, you can put up flyers in the neighbourhood or community centre. This works for both options. IF you want to make money off the cds, you can sell them, but if you don't have an intrest in the money, you can have an auction and donate the money to charity.
Those are just a few ideas that you can use to hopefully slove your problem. If not, hopefully you can find something else that works for you. Good luck, and hope you get those cds off your hands and into the hands of some kids who'll use them. Lots of love,

I'm 16, and extremely muscular because i've been running track since I was 7. It's the off season and I've been slowly but surely gaining. I'm not fat but I dont feel like me. I want to lose a little but I'm not sure how? or what to eat? or how to exercise? whenever I work out, I feel like i'm just getting more and more muscular (bulky if you will) and that im not really getting rid of the stomach flab? What should I do? (link)

You should try excersize programs that aren't specifically lifting weights. There are lost of ways to keep fit and have fun. Join an aerobics class with a friend, take a class (ie dance, gymnastics, something aerobic) or do something less formal, like become a dog walker, or a babysitter, running after little kids or huge dogs will definatly tire you out and keep you in great shape. Or buy a ddr and dance all night with your friends. Get out and hang with friends at the park, and stay active best you can. Keep excersizing, and stay off the couch, that will keep you feeling like your old self and your body wont be as stiff when track starts up next season! Good luck and I hope I gave you a great idea.
love,

Any tips on how to get it to grow faster,be healthier please let me know.
ps-if you are gonna put wait for it..dont bother I know that.
one more further question-I have a dry scalp condition any ideas on how to stop the skin on my head from cracking?

Well there are some shampoos and conditioner products that will help with both of those problems. But the best thing to do would probably be to talk to your hairdresser. They can usually help with both, and while you're there, get a short trim, it will be a bit shorter for a while, but hair grows faster when it thinks it needs too (ie the hair on your legs right after you shave them)so talk to your stylist, hopefull yhey can help more than I did! Good luck hope you get the hair you (and your boyfriend) have always dreamed of!
Love,
Angie91

I am about 15 pounds underweight. I am 13 years old 4'10'' and 70 pounds. I know that bad, I'm don't have any eating disorders or nothing. I just have a very high metabolism and have a slender body shape (most women in my family on my moms side are bulit like that). I don't want to gain weight fast. I know it takes like a month to gain about 3 pounds or something. But I just want to know are there any diets that can help me gain about 1-3 pounds each month? (link)

Well first of all don't worry too much about it, its not that big of a deal, its just a few pounds and its not that bad. Talking to some people about your diet is probably the best. People who can see your build and body type. Contrary to popular belief, eating high calorie foods wont help your diet, it will hurt it, try talking to your parents, your gym or health teacher, your cooking teacher at school, a councler, your doctor, or ask your mom to take you to a nutritionist. Those are some of the easiest ways to get on a good diet plan. And don't worry your weight should slowly go up. Relax, don't fret about it, but also try and get on a plan so that you will have a great body for the rest of your life! Good luck, hope I helped a bit. Angie91

I know that this a problem I'm having, but I think that it has more to do with my mom because she keeps sticking words in my mouth. yesturday, she told me that all she wanted for christmas was for me to wear this stupid shirt that i hate more than you can ever imagine. i told her no and i told her that it's silly. i know its really mean and its not true but i told her that i didn't get what i waanted for christmas. and i was just mad at her because i told her i hate that shirt. so, she assumed that i was talking aboout school because i do hate my school. and then we got into a huge fight. today, i have my period and i was crying because i get really bad cramps, and she told me that i was really crying about school. i'm tired of her sticking words in my mouth and i know that she hates how i hate my school and she never wants to talk about school, so now she's taking it out on me, and i've had it because i've stopped mentioning school to her. I know how much it upsets her and I'm tired of fighting with her, but if she keeps sticking words in my mouth, how can i get anywhere with her? (link)

Often parents will put words in their kids mouths because they have been through this sortof thing before, but what they often do not realise is that times have changes since they were a teenager. So the best way for you to explain is for you to tell he rhow you feel. And if she continues to put words in your mouth when you are talking, (I know it sounds silly, but sometimes weird things are the things that work) make a "talking stick" like you had in preschool, lol, so that you can both say what you want and not get interupted.
It is important to have a strong relationship with your mother when you are young, because you need to be able to have that person to be your confident and rolemodel, and most of all, the one who is there for you on a daily basis. You are going to have to "deal with her" ( or "spend time with her") for the rest of your lives, you might as well make those years the best ones because theres only one mom out there for you and you can't get a new one now, and I think if you spend time trying to understand where she is coming from, you wont want a new one.
Understand that she is human too, and she makes mistakes, she has feelings, she has worries, doubts and believes, but they may be different from yours, and if you talk to her about that hopefully you can come to an understanding.
Also, like the talking stick, there are other ways to keep the conversation going, or at least get it started. I saw is seventeen magazine the other day a "coupon" that yopu can use if you want to have the sex talk with your parents. And what you can do is make up a coupon with some information about what you want to talk about and put some advice on the back about being calm, telling them to schedual a couple of hours etc. there are millions of other ways to get to your mom so that the two of you can talk, and if you google it, I'm sure you will be able to find some information, and cute ways liek the coupon to talk to your mom about important issues.
I hope that I helped to give you an idea of what you are experiencing, from an outsiders perspective, Its good that you came here and asked for help, and don't be afraid to ask others outside of the argument to give you their opinions, keeping everything inside not only sucks royally, but it also isnt very healthy. So if you need help in the future don't be afraid to ask (but hopefully, you'll have your mom to go to that for!!) Good luck, and I truely hope I helped. Lots of Love, Angie91

he is talking to this other girl saying she is sooo hotttt and crap and he is flirting with her i need help what should i do dump him (link)

I think that you should talk to him about it. Most likely he is just being a boy, and sometimes boys just like talking about other girls, and you need to tell him how you feel when he says that stuff. I don't think you dump him just yet. He hasnt really done anything wrong. I guess flirting with her isn't very respectful of you, but if you tell him how it makes you feel and he still continues doing the stuff that drives you insane, he probably isn't the right guy for you. Just think about it and talk to him, and m,ost of all try not to make a bunch of rash decisions. If he realizes how it makes you feel, hopefully he'll understand and try to stop. Good luck, and lots of love, Angie91
