About HyperactiveMiss





Hello!
Ask away! If you'd like to know me better, check out my websites by clicking here and viewing my collective. I always try to give detailed and helpful advice. Please feel free to ask me for advice and DO give me feedback! Reading good comments and knowing that I helped someone out literally puts a smile on my face.

Please be sure to look at the FAQ on my column. If you ask a question similar to one I've already answered, I will most likely reply with the same answer.


Grammar, Punctuation, etc
I think if Advicenators are going to take the time to answer other peoples' questions and give free and helpful advice, the least people could do is use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc when they are asking for help. It's unbelievable how some people TyPe LiKe ThIs, or never use periods, or don't have the time to do a "seempl nd quik speel chek".
Pet Peeve
I think that's totally lame when someone rates you down just because they don't want to accept the truth. It's also annoying if they rate you down, just because they didn't like your answer. Advicenators isn't about hearing what you want to hear. It's about finding the truth. People should be thankful that someone gave their time and effort. They should be thankful their question was even answered at all.
Rating & Feedback
Let me just remind you what each number means when you rate someone. These are OFFICIAL.

1- Pretty Bad Advice 2- Not Harmful, But Not Useful Either 3- Decent Enough Advice 4- Good Advice 5- Really Awesome Advice

I think everyone should give feedback, not just a rating. And feedback should include WHY you gave that person that specific rating. If everyone did that, everyone would probably rate more accurately. Also, the advice giver took the time to answer the question. The least the question asker could do is to give feedback! But unfortunately I guess it's too hard and mind boggling for everyone to do.

  • I'm going to summer school so i have to pack my lunches once again. They don't sell any lunches, unfortunately because i would sometimes buy my lunch so i didn't really face this problem.

    ?- are there any good substitues to the boring sandwich that i can easily prepare for sack lunches?

    thanks!

    Lunchables! lol, there are lots of different kinds so you don't get sick of them. You could also try bringing those tuna cracker or chicken cracker thingies. Snacks are easy; you could bring chips, pudding, jello, yogurt, fruit snacks, fruit, etc. How about bringing some salad? Bring a hot dog? Chicken Nuggets? Basically you could bring anything from home, but it depends on whether you'll eat it cold or not.

    Can one find love online? Even if the lovers are separated by hundreds of miles? Explain.

    5's for all quality responses because this is your opinion and you therefore cannot be wrong.

    In my honest opinon...I'd say most online relationships don't work out. There may be a few lucky duckies out there, but I think finding love the old fashioned way is better.

    With online relationships, the biggest problem you're encounter is how honest they are. Anyone could slap on a pretty picture of some dude or chick on their profile, and call themselves 21 years old. And the thing is, you'll never really know for sure what they really look like and who they really are. Online, you can lie about EVERYTHING. You can create your own identity.

    Even if you found someone that is telling the truth about themselves, the problem is keeping in touch with them. Talking on the phone is not enough, in my opinion. And since you never see each other, it leaves an even bigger chance of them cheating on you. Some married guy could just try an online dating site just for kicks.

    Once you think you know someone really well, and even met them, it doesn't mean you know them. Think about it. The people you interact with every day at school or work, friends, family, etc...you know them all, but you never really KNOW what's behind their mask. If it's like that with people you KNOW, how much safer do you think it is with a person ONLINE?

    Lovers separated by distance CAN make it, but only if they TRY to keep it working. They have to constantly communicate somehow and see each other over periods of time. It's a lot of trouble though, if you ask me.

    So all in all, I think finding love somewhere in your own home is safer and easier to deal with.

    ok this is really weird but my cousin said he took my underware off and had sex w/ me while i was sleeping (im 13 hes 15) was that rape because i really dont want to have sex now

    Sounds to me he was kidding. I mean, if he did that, don't you think you would have felt ANYTHING at all? I would have woken up by just having someone walk into my room when I'm sleeping.

    Nevertheless, if it bothers you, tell someone like your parents. Even if it was just a sick joke, maybe some adults can get his head straight and keep him from making those sick jokes.

    If he really did do that to you, yes it's rape. I highly doubt it he did do it to you though. Unless you were like stoned, maybe then you would have been out cold and he could have done those things to you without you finding out.

    What are some good acne-removal treatments that work??? Please help me because I have acne all over my nose really bad! I will rate well to anyone who tells me a working-treatment. Please don't make it prescription treatment, as I can't get that yet.

    I definitely recommend Proactiv. This is the website:

    http://proactiv.com/

    It worked for me and it's worked for others. I can't guarantee it'll work on you too, but it's worth a try right? It varies on your skin. For me I saw improvements in about two days! For others it may take weeks. I will admit, it might be a little hefty on money if you're low on cash. If you're low on cash I suggest buying just the main "three piece system", that's basically all you need. Check out the site for more info.

    I am 13 and I have never kissed anyone. I know that I want too, but I want it to be sweet and romantic. I have thought about this for a LONG time (ever since I turned 11) I want a romantic first kiss, like a walk in the park or something and then we just kiss. I need to know about 5 things though. (1) I have braces, will our lips get hung together or something? (2) I ALSO have a herpz appliance in my mouth!!! Will THAT get our lips caught together? (3) How do you kiss? I mean whats the most sweetest way to kiss without making out? (4) Where is a romantic date? I can go to the movies or somewhere like that? I don't have any parks where I live. (5) Whats a good type of clothing, earrings, etc. to where? I REALLY NEED A GIRL'S ADVICE!

    I wrote this before and this mostly explains how a french kiss should work out...but if you just want to stick with a simple kiss, just stop before it explains about the french kissing.

    http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=hyperactivemiss&mode=qview&q=329286

    And if you want to see "how to get someone to kiss you" read up on this answer I wrote:

    http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=308815

    Braces won't really affect anything. In some cases, they might be a problem. If you french kiss, your braces might cut his lip or smash into his teeth.

    I have no idea what a herpz appliance is. Do you mean herpes appliance, 'cause that's what it sounds like? uh... hehe.

    Movies are fine, but be sure to go somewhere else if you want to have a chance to talk...since movies just allow you to watch the movie in silence.

    Clothing and accessories will not matter. Wear what is you because you want the guy to like you for who you are. If he has a problem with something about you, you don't need him anyway. But if you want to know if you should be dressy or not, I'd say dress casually, or maybe a little something special. But not like a wedding dress with tons of diamonds. Ha. Just dress however you're comfortable with.

    Good luck!

    im going out to eat with my boyfriend and his family (his mom,dad, 2 bro's, and 2 sister-in-laws, and nephew and neice) anyways.. i gotta inpress them... dont know why but i know i do. So were going to applebee's.. im a very picky eater and i dont know what to get. i dont really like burgers and such. Any suggestions?i was thinking matzarella sticks but i dont know if that'd be rude because its a appetizer.. help. i know its dumb but whatever! ( ive also never been there)

    Lol...I saw your question open to the public...but I guess you wanted me to answer too O_o


    This is their site:
    http://www.applebees.com

    Mozzarella sticks are yummy, but you might want to order something with it since it IS just an appetizer.

    You could try something in their "Weight Watchers" section...
    http://www.applebees.com/menu/menu_ww.php
    Maybe you'd like shrimp or a sandwich or tortillas?

    And check out their salad selection:
    http://www.applebees.com/menu/menu_garden.php
    If you end up just ordering Mozzarella sticks, have a salad with it.

    Good luck.

    I know this sounds stupid but, I am 13 and I had a dream about this perfect guy. He was cute, sweet, romantic, nice, kind, loving. EVERYTHING that I want in a guy. I know it sounds stupid but is there a way I can find out if that guy is really out there? Or did I make him up?

    Well, I think it was a dream and just a dream. We all have all kinds of dreams. Most of them aren't really true and they aren't "foretelling". They're just things we dream about. I mean, I'm sure there is a guy for YOU out there, but don't expect him to be the exact guy from your dream. Keep your eyes open and keep your mind open (=

    what are the benefits of waiting for marriage? for those of you that are, whats your reason? it could go either way so let me know what you think.

    Yes, I'm waiting till after marriage.

    - You get to avoid all the risks of pregnancy and diseases of sex. There is NO 100% guarantee that you are safe from any risks other than by not having sex. You may know this already, but if you get HIV/AIDS you can NOT be cured from it. Many people with it suffer horribly and die young. You can't exactly "cure" yourself of being pregnant either. If you have a baby before you are stable and have someone dependable by your side, the baby will be your responsibility for LIFE, which will ruin your education, your future, and you won't get to have sex once you're too occupied with a baby. And even if you got an abortion, you will still always have the memory of killing your baby just because you were irresponsible.
    - If you save it for marriage, you wouldn't have to take birth controls in the meantime. Birth controls are definitely not natural.
    - If you save it for marriage, it shows you have respect for yourself and self discipline.
    - Also, you are saving it for your spouse...so it's special. Wouldn't you like to give your virginity to the sweetie you're going to marry?
    - Just because people think you're in love now doesn't mean it will last forever. I don't think you'd want to have lost your virginity to your ex when you think about it.
    - And even if you're not having sex because you "love" someone, but because you just have crazy hormones, is this really what you want to do? Just have sex with anyone because you're horny?
    - It's kind of nasty to know the person you're going to marry has already banged other people...
    - When you marry someone, it should be the person you really LOVE, right? So that would be the perfect person to have sex with.
    - In response to the answer below me, it's true you may gain more sexual knowledge by sleeping around with others, but why can't you and your spouse learn together? If sex in a marriage sucks, you can always learn how to get better together. And if a marriage falls apart just because of sex, it wasn't all that great to begin with.

    No one said you had to listen to me, I'm just hoping my advice will help guide you. And even if it doesn't, at least you will be able to see different perspectives of things.

    What should you write in a love letter, and what should you not write?

    obviously you don't want it to be corny but still to be sincere... I'm going to write one but I'm unsure of what to say.

    is it too corny to put some song lyrics in from a song we both like that makes me think of him? He doesn't know that I like him, i don't think so. Just clearing things up... I don't want to regret it later.

    Well...I don't like to call it a love letter, because it's not really declaring your love...it's just telling him you like him right? lol.

    But anyways, I have written a letter once in 7th grade to someone I did like. It didn't work out because there were HUGE complications (He liked me, but was also gay...so basically he was just confused). But I can be safe to say that the letter would have worked if it weren't for the complications. He didn't act weird around me and he respected me more and all that jazz.

    I wouldn't include the song lyrics...that might be a little too much. But it might be sweet to tell him "this song blah blah" reminds you of him, and he might want to listen to it sometime.

    A letter is great, because it gives you a chance to say things you might not have said in person. But it's not THAT great. Personally, I think doing it in person is even better! (= So my advice to you would be to write a letter to break the ice, and ask him to meet up with you somewhere so you guys could talk.

    If you're going to ask him out (I didn't see you saying that in your post though) definitely do that part in person. Don't do one of those "Circle yes if you wanna go out with me" lol. So elementary =b

    That's great you want him to know how you feel and that you don't care what other people think! I hope it works out!

    My boyfriend is moving and I really really like him, and we have been going out for 3 years and I wont see him anymore should I break up with him or not!

    If you really like him, you'd at least try and give it a chance. I know you might be scared of losing him or get hurt from a long distance relationship, but it's worth a try. And after you try it out, you can always break up with him if it doesn't work out. Sometimes long distance relationships CAN work out if you both are willing and try hard to make it happen. You can still talk on the phone, keep in touch online, and try to make arrangements to see each other in person once in a while. And it also depends on your age. If you were close to adulthood and you were moving out soon, you two could move in together and all that jazz. But I'm assuming you're a young teen...mainly because most of these questions are from teens, so it might be a little tough. Just take a risk...you'll never get anywhere without taking risks so just go for it! Good luck!

    I'm 17, getting somewhat close to 18, and i know ill be sexually active by the end of this year. For those who are my age or close - do your parents expect you to not do anything? I know if you're like 15, and your parents find out you're sexually active..and they have the right to ground you or tell you not to see him, etc. Do you think once we turn 18, it's more of our decision/freedom that are parents just ACCEPT? Or are there parents out there who try to control that and dont approve their 18 year old doing that (even though they are considered an adult)? Any opinions on this topic would be appreciated. Im just getting an idea of how parents react to this once you turn 18.

    I'm 15, so my advice may be useless to you, but I'll just say what I think. It really does depend on how strict and/or understanding your parents are.

    When you're 18, parents should just accept what you're doing. I'm not sure if mine would still hold me on a leash or if they would let me go free, but I think if I did something like had sex, I am sure they would be disappointed. Disappointed, but they would not "ground" me. They would just realize that their daugther has made her own decisions and if she is ever in need of help, they won't give it to her because she's so "mature" enough to make her own decisions.

    I think parents try to control their children, only to prevent them from making big mistakes. But once their children have decided to go free and make their own decisions, I think they accept it. They did all they could. And so the future is up to them, and any mess ups their children might do in the future will not concern them anymore.

    I also think parents think of their children as their "babies" even after you are well over 20 or any age. If I were a mother, I think I would feel the same. So hearing about your baby having babies can be quite a big shock.

    Personally, I strongly believe in sex after marriage. Because it's safer and you saved something special for your spouse. I could go on, but I'm sure this is not what you want to hear, so I'll stop there.

    So what I'm saying is, if your parents are like how I see mine, they would become disappointed, but they would allow you to do what you want. And once you've gone over the line and done what you want, I think you're on your own. But of course all parents are different, and we'll never quite know how they'll react. So I'd think carefully about what you're doing and I'd also think about how it would affect your relationship with the people that gave birth to you and cared for your entire life. Just remember you will always have a chance to change your mind before anything is actually done...

    Is it ok to tell someone you like them cause for one they're moving to another state and you might never see them again.... but i have a boyfriend and i'm like in love with him but this other guy i like is leaving and i don't know where these emotions are coming from but i can't help it what should i do
    signed,
    hopeless romantic

    If you think you love 2 people at once then you don't love either enough. - Micaela Logan

    I strongly believe in this quote. Don't throw around the word love like a hot potater. lol. It's a special word and only one guy deserves to hear it from you.

    So don't say you are madly in love with your boyfriend if you say you love some other dude.

    Personally, I think you may BELIEVE you love this guy moving, but you don't REALLY. Plus, he's moving, so what can you do about it? He'll be gone forever anyway. So I'd say, don't let out a peep about him and stick with your boyfriend.

    You need to decide who you really love and only choose one. You can't love your boyfriend and like someone else at teh same time. So decide now. Even if the other guy is moving, liking him shows that you don't care about your boyfriend as much as you thought. So choose now. Don't put it off either, because the longer you wait, the more hurt your boyfriend will be. If you decide your boyfriend is not the one for you, just sit down with him, and gently talk to him about it. It'll hurt him more the longer you wait so just do it. Even if you think you LOVE your boyfriend but still have feelings for someong ELSE or even if you're not SURE if you love boyfriend, you need to break up with him. Because chances are, if you aren't sure you probably don't love him. And I'm sure the last thing you want to do is break your boyfriend's heart even more by leading him on.

    If you really think you love your boyfriend and you decide you don't want to break up with him, you need to spend more time with him. Get to know him even better and get that other guy COMPLETLY out of your head. That's the least you can do for him. And even then, if you decide you still don't LOVE your boyfriend, it's time to break up with him. Dating is about experiencing new things, trying things out, bonding with someone, and finding what you need and want. You don't have to be confined to one person forever, you are free to date people to find your soul mate.

    And like I said, the minute you find out he's not the one you love, you need to break up with him and save him more heart ache. But if you do decide he is the one that gets ALL of your love, get the other guy out of your head and spend more time with your sweetie.

    Is there somethin special that guys like about a girls ears? My boyfriend is always kissin on my ears and plays with my earings with his tongue. What is so fascinating?

    It's probably not "FACINATING". He probably just thinks you like it. I like kissing my boyfriend on his ears because it tickles him and he does it to me too. So it sounds like you don't like it. If you don't, just tell him you don't really like it.
