Im 15 years old and i was addopted at 6 i feel so spaced out from my parents and not sure what to do, i wish i lived with my birth parents but i cant find them till im 18 what do i do?
Your birth parents weren't ready for a child. You should be happy that they did something good for your life. THey gave you up to a family that could take care of you and give you the life that they couldn't give you. Try making an effort to get to know them, talk to them start treating you like they are your real parents. If you really want to find your birth parents then wait till your 18. Try talking to your school counsler. Or talk to your new parents about it, they'll understand.

Yesterday i told my bf i had cybersex the day he buried his grandpa. so i told him that he could have sex with this girl that liked him. So now he is at a hotel having sex with a girl for revenge because i said he could do it. Is it really fair for him to do it? Did he have to listen to me and actually get revenge?
Why would you say its okay? Thats taking it way to far. Cyber is like NOTHING compared to the real thing. You can't blame him, so don't be mad at him beacues you basicly did this yourself. No, he shouldn't have listened to you and gone and did this, but if a girl is going to tell him its okay and basicly let him, why not? You shouldn't have told him that, but now he knows so its just about miving on from this. Don't make this same mistake.

Okay I'm 14 years old and this summer has been like the crazziest summer. Okay these are the things I did just in 2 weeks
1.Gave a blow job in a public restroom
2.Had sex in a public restroom
3.Flashed a lot a guys at a public pool
4.Sent nude Photo's to atleast 7 different guys
5.Had a 3some (2 other guys)
6.madeout with a way older guy
7.Did a lot of ohter "things" in public places
Um, I don't know if I think your a slut. No guys are going to go out with you. I'm sorry, but if this was your boyfriend that you did all this to, then it would be okay, but this is a little insane. Slow it down. Guys aren't going to go out with you for real, they're just oging to use you to get some. This is a little gross that you did all this. hope i answered your question and sorrry for the blunt honest truth.

f 17
now being serious
I think big is beautiful
I look at women like Queen Latifah and Tyra Banks
and they are Thick beautiful women
but then you have the Paris Hilton's and the Nicole Richies
who are dam near a string and thats what america thinks is right.
thats what men think is "Hot"
but to me they have little girl bodies
now i'm a thick girl and i love it
but i still sometimes feel the need to be thin
not because i'm not happy with myself
but because of the way others may look at me
my skinny friends get attention from guys our age
but i get it from men that are 20, 21 ,22
I jus really want to know Is big BEAUTIFUL
or am i just buggin'?
I think big is beautiful! I think that people like Yra and QUeen Latifah are strong and pretty and really good role models. WHen guys your age grow up they will realize that if someone has confidence it is beautiful. FINALLY, in todays societY SOMEONE thinks skinnys gross!! Good for you. If you feel great, you will look great. Stay strong, once the people your age grow up they will realize how beautiful you really are.
stay strong

Hi. I'm 17 and my boyfriend is 21. We have been together for a year and 4 months now. When we first got together, I remember him telling me about how his neighbor would beat his wife all the time, and he said this with admiration in his voice. I asked him if he thought it was okay to hit a woman, and he said yeah.
He does have anger problems, and the least little thing would set him off.
He used to tell me not to come to his house unless his cousin was with me, and one time I did go without his cousin and he huffed and puffed and balled up his fists, and turned sharply and walked away...later on he told me that he was going to knock me across the yard...he would always tell me how badly he wished he could put his hands on me and put me in my place. One time I was standing outside his car, and he hurt me by pulling my arm halfway through the window and pushing down on it from inside. But he never hit me.
But now he's taking medicine to control his temper and things are much better, and it's like he's a different person. But not long ago, I went to a friend's house, Don, to do his hair, and my boyfriend followed me there and hit the gas and kept speeding past the house, back and forth like a maniac. Then he called everyone he knows and got them to call me to tell me how much he was sorry, etc.
Another thing is that one night he took my cell phone from me and went through it and started calling numbers he didnt know, accusing me of cheating. When I tried to get the phone back, he almost hit me. Then he cornered me, grabbed my face tight, and told me that I had better not be cheating on him.
I'm afraid of him, so when he does things like that, I just lower my head. Then, when we're on the phone the next day, he laughs about how scared of him I was. Now he's told me that he doesnt want me to talk to Don at all anymore, even though I've told him constantly that we're just friends. And to top it off, he's trying to get me pregnant. I've told him I don't want kids right now, but he keeps 'forgetting' condoms or takes them off when I'm not looking. He has actually told me that he wants me to have his baby so that I can't leave him.
He's really a sweet person, and compared to what I went through when we first started dating, our relationship is peaceful now. But now that we're supposed to be living together soon, I'm worried that he might change and go back to his old ways. Call me crazy, but we have a great relationship when he's not angry, and I don't want to leave...I've tried leaving him in the past, but he cries and begs for me to come back. Since he's been taking his medicine the only time he gets really mad is when he thinks I'm cheating or something.
How high is the chance that he's going to become physically abusive in the future? Would this already be considering abuse or controlling behavior? Any thoughts/advice is appreciated. Thanks!
This guy is a reck. HE has alredyy harmmed you. I think that its time to kick this guy to the curb. He is going to take over your whole life. I think that since he was already that way theres like a 99% chance that he can go back to his old ways. He could stop his medicine and hurt you. You could really get hurt and possibly end up dead. IF a guy can't give you the respect you diserve, end it.Your still going through this so you can't say it is over. End it.

ok so i meet this guy at a lock in. and from what i have gotten to know him and what his friends has said about him he is great. he is a good guy, and he wouldnt do anything to hurt me. i been on 3 dates with him so far. and know from waht his friend saids he is going to ask me out. and at first i was soo happy and i was going to say yes.
but today his friend was telling me some stuff that he has done before. like he has done weed once and saids he will never do it again. he did it that once cause he got peer pressure into it. then it worried me that he could get peer pressure into a lot of things then. also that he has a lot of friends that smoke. and i dont really want to be around that. also it is long distance so that is already hard enough. and he has cheated before. and my last bf cheated on me and i dont want to go though that again. but i still like him. i just dont know if i should go out with him.
and so far he has treated me really good, and been so sweet.
idk maybe i am just taking this to seriously and freaking out about it to much.
sincerly,
softballbabe2610
IF it's a long distance relationship, when you guys do get the oppertunity to hang out, it should be just you and him. So don't worry about his friends. Some of my friends smoke and drink, I don't approve of it, but i'm stong enough to say no. It sounds like NOW he is too. When you try something once your more likely not to do it agian because you learned your lesson. I think your being perinoid. I don't mean this meanly but your second guessing something that sounds, well, really great. If you like someone, then you like someone, and he likes you. It sounds like this could really work. If he's been this sweet then he's probally going to continue. Tell him concerns about treating. Tell him about your last boyfriend, BUT DON'T BRING UP THE FACT THAT HE HAS CHEATED TOO. He won't like that. As long as you guys have good communication and are open to talking about things, like cheating it shoudl all be fine. He sounds like a great guy, who is perfect for you. Have fun and be careful

What's a good cell phone service provider? I'm looking at ones like Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon or other major ones.
I share a T-Mobile family plan with my sister but I'm going to get my own once the contract ends, so I'll need a good service that's affordable. I wanted to get Metro PCS but the problem is that the coverage area is SO limited. It doesn't work in certain cities.
What are you experiences with these providers? Good/Bad?
Another thing, I owe a pretty big bill to my cell phone company. After my contract is up, I still owe them money, right? But the account isn't even in my name, it's in my sisters lol, so does that mean it screws with her credit?
First of all, I don't know like any of these answers, all i know is about Sprint.
This provider SUCKS. It is horrible. My friends can't get service in their rooms. No basement service, I can't get service in Florida. Its horrible. I get texts, most of the time, 30 minutes after their sent. It's just really bad. I do not suggest getting this provider. They over charge for everything. Most places have like $10 at most for unlimited texting, Sprint is $25. When my mom added my brother to the plan it took them well over a year, and to this day, they can't get the bill right. We are constantly calling and complaining to them.
I do know that Verizon doesn't get very good basement service.
And I'm pretty sure that if you owe money no matter if you stop with them or you keep going witht hem, you will ALWAYS owe them that money until payed off in full. Its like a loan.

I'm 18/f and my best friend is 16/f. She is a very pretty girl. Perfect weight, shape for her age. But like every other girl in America she constantly sees the ads in magazines and on TV that say we have to be 'better', 'thinner' 'sexier'. I never thought she was into that garbage. But lately she's constantly rambling about how the models and the stars diet and work-out to have the perfect body, and I'm starting to worry about her. I've given her the "You don't have to look like that to be perfect" speech, but she just gets angry and stars listing off the things that are "wrong" with her own body (flabby thighs, un-sculpted abs etc.)
What can I tell her to snap her out of this?
Thanks
Concerned
Tell her the truth, almost all holywood pictures are airbrushed, so that they look perfect. Tell her that guys don't like anorexic perfect girls, they don't. It's sad that in todays society looks is the only thing that matters. Don't put pressure on her, like don't talk about someone being fat of anything like that, cuz that will imediatly make her think of herself
hope all goes good.

is the hair straightener chi really worth the money?
It is REALLY good, but it is extreamly damaging to your hair. I would go with this straightner only if you put protection on your hair.

what better
uggs
denim chip & pepper mini
cami and pastel tie front cardigan
or:
true relgion jeans
bcbg metallic wedges
grey silk tunic
brown leather belt
uggs are out
if you wear a cami and a skirt you'll be called a slut
go with the second choice, it sounds cute.

i'm a sophomore and i know i still have time to think about what i want to do when i "grow up". but when i'm a junior i'm going to try and do a post secondary program where i go to college for part of the day and i get college credit, so i feel more rushed to figure this out.
i'm interested in fashion, and i know it's a hard thing to get into. i want to do something i enjoy so i'm not stuck with a job i hate for the rest of my life. so do you know any websites that help you with choosing? like career tests or something? thanks!
http://www.careercruising.com/MatchMaker/k_login.aspx?LoginID=bd696e26-21ca-485f-ac76-665892582e3b-
go to that website
use username: lincolnway
Pass: central
take a buch of tests and see what would be good for you. BUt if you don't like it, don't feel presured to do it. You might wnat to consider a job in fashion sales. If you like fashion branch off from there. Do something that you like. You will work for 86,000 hours of your life. Make sure it is something you enjoy.

YAY my friend asked me if I wanna hangout sometime! I'm not a looser or anything but my parents are strict about me going outside even with my friends so i've never actually been out. And i have no idea of what we could od or where to go.
And ideas?
Go to the mall
Go to the movies
Go out to lunch, dinner
If your parents won't let you go see if your friend can come over you guys can have a sleepover, do makeovers --if your girls-- rent movies if your guys just hang out.
This is a great oppertunity so if your parents don't let you go out see if it would be okay if you guys went to the mall and off on your own and your mom can go two, but go on her own too. THat way shes in the mall incase something happens but not with you and your friend. Also, then you have a ride there and back. HAHA!
hope i helped

My best friend hooked me and her boyfriend's friend up and we've been going out for a couple of days. Well, today, we had our first kiss. And now it feels like there are butterflies in my stomach and I have this really read feeling in my chest. Like electricity flowing through me. What does it mean? I mean, I don't think it is possible to love someone if you just started to date them, right? So what is that weird feeling?
You just like him.
I think that you like him A LOT.
Eventually, it will turn into love so take it as it comes

i wanna convince my parents to buy a summe home in pensacola florida
or someone around there
and i want it to be like off the ocean or close to it with a pool
but idk what to google
cause i try like second home in pensacola florida but it doesnt give me like the right thing
and idk what you would call it.
and also the houses are realllly expensive cause its buy the ocean
and also we would buy it with my aunt and uncle
helllllllllp!
Well, lucky for you, the market is WAY down down there. So you can get a house for like almost $100,000.000 cheaper than its worth. You need to go to relastate websites
try this one: http://www.realtor.com/
I have a house in Florida, its very nice. YOu won't be able to get a big house unless you want to spend millions of dollers. I would stay away for houses on the beach as they sometimes break 3 mill! Try going for one around the beach, walking distance or 15 min. drive.

I have been bitting my nails for as long as i remember. I have tried several times to stop bitting them but i just cant stop. Lately i have noticed one of my pinky nails had a white tip so i stoped bitting it,but now i only have one fingernail that is actually almost passes my skin. Can u give me advice of how i could stop bitting ALL of my nails.
lots of love, any advice can help
They have this nailpolish that tastes REALLY bad. Try finding it at Walgreens or Wal-mart or Target. Use that. also, use lotion from bath and body works with the little blue stuff in it. IT TASTES HORIBLE WHEN PUT IN YOUR MOUTH. also, if you just paint your nails pretty colors you on't want to ruin them. Try getting tips. You can't bite those.

Well i met a boy on bebo ages ago and hes rly nice, hes got a nice personality and hes good lookin and hes a guy id go out with but he thinks im stunnin but im not! hes seen a picture of me and all that but im not that pretty but he thinks i am, i try 2 keep tellin him that im fat and he wouldnt like me (its true) but im to scared to tell him incase he wont talk 2 me anymore...
wat should i do??
Thanks
Guys don't like it when girls don't show conddfidence. It doesn't matter if your butt ugly. Beuty is only skin deep. If he likes you for you...let him. Are you ever going to meet him in person? Then, worry about that then. If he's seen a picture of you and thinks your stunning than you probally are. Constantly telling guys your flaws is annoying. Don't tell him. He likes you for you..and thats all that matters. But make sure your being safe online. No personal infor...he may not be who you think he is.

im 28 years old i lost my job in december ever since then i have been filling out numerous applications and they have been getting me know were. i have only had one interview out of all of them. my unemployment has run out recently. i have no money for anything except my mom sometimes gives me money. but i know that wont last for long. i think it is ridiculous thati havent been able to find a job yet, i know its because the economy is bad, but you would think i would be able to find a job somewhere. its getting to the point of me becoming depressed because i dont have a job. can anybody give me any ideals on what to do. i thought about babysitting untill i find something. but i do not know how to go about it.thanks in advance
I know what you mean. Babysitting is hard to get known. Try making flyers and puting them in ppeople with kid's mailboxs. Include, your name -- first and last-- your phone number, expeierence, your old job, etc. If this doesn't work, you might want to try going to the mall and getting a job at a popular store. Even if it is minimum wage, you then still have some income rather than none. What i would do, is have a minimum wage job, babysit, and still be looking for a real job. that way if you get $200 bucks for 2 weeks at your job you can get an extra $40 for like 5 hours! Just hang in there, i know you'll find something. good luck.
btw, make sure you are talking yourself up in your resumes. this is a site that says what to not put on your resume : http://www.geekinterview.com/articles/what-you-should-never-put-on-your-resume.html

16/f I'm a writer it's what I do it's who I am. I've been so sick of reading the cliche teen books out there and I want another opinion. Recently there has been this idea in my head for a story after I threw away this novel that I bought and realized it was just like every other girl-meets-boys-falls-in-love-and-defies-all-odds/saves the world. I would like to ask anyone who would help me out: What is something that you've been rolling your eyes about and wish would change in the current teen stories that you see on about 20 bookshelves at Borders. I want to break the mold and if I have to ask every teenager out there what they want, I will.
Thanks,
Quincy
In the books i read, there lifes are so perfect. And when soemthing bad happens, its for the better. I've NEVER read a book where when the vharecter is down...and keeps going deeper and deeper in life maybe picking herself up?
Also, stuff thats happening in the real world, like murdering, hunger, sucicide. I hate hearing the details. It makes me chuck the book. I don't want to hear about somehting nasty that could possibly give me nightmares.

i have somewhat a lot of dark hairs on my stomach and lower back. i dont mind my back hairs much, probably because i cant see it haha but anyways, i hate my stomach hair, especially wearing short shirts or swimming suits. should i shave, nair, or bleach lighter? i was thinking about nair..does it hurt and will it make it go away for a long time? i dont want to have to shave every day to keep it smooth but i guess if i have to =/ i cant afford a big procedure thing to get it removed but, any advice is very appreciated!
Don't shave, because then it will grow back stubby. My friend waxed hers, but it only lasted for like 5 days. I would just bleach it. It doesn't really harm your body and its cheap. You could also bleach your back hairs if you really wanted to, or if they were really bothering you.
