I used to have a ton of posters and random cut outs from magazines and stuff on my wall. Most of it kind of fell off, so i just took everything off of it. I need some ideas what i can do to redecorate it. Dont say leave it plain cuz its pink and icky. Your answers are much appreciated!

I have one wall dedicated to birthday cards I have recieved along with a few balloons posted up. Try that. =]

& wow, I wouldn't exactly be quick to declare yourself "appreciative" after the rating you have given me.

NO PREACHING PLEASE! I'm not going to do this,, im just wondering.

If you would do nothing but jump rope, dance, and push-ups non stop for two whole days, what would happen? like I odnt care if its impossible for ´humans or whatever, Im just wondering.. all these people who are trying to lose weight but cant or give up because they dont get results quick enough.. if they would do nothing but work out for maybe 2 days or 4 or something like that (keep in mind how freaking long a day is!) would they see results? Or doesn't it matter that they're working so much cause you have to work over a long period of time?

Please don't answer unless you KNOW, I don't want guesses.

Even if you were to shed some pounds, it is unhealthy to lose so much weight all at once. It's best to lose a bit at a time.

How do you stay true to yourself?

By staying open minded: giving everything and everyone a fair chance. You're true to yourself when you don't limit yourself and you allow yourself to become something more than what you already are. =]

so i just got a relatively large purse. its super cute and i LOVE it! but.. its really big, and has a lot of pockets and compartments. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO PUT IN IT! it looks dumb to leave it unfilled because then it just looks empty! so far i put my sunglasses, camera, ipod, cell phone, and wallet in there. it still doesn't fill it up! what else can i put in? what do you put in yours? thank you!

Floss...a book of word/number puzzles...writing utensils...a mini-dictionary...some body spray...extra ponytail holders...eyedrops. Just think of odd things that you probably won't need, but if you're at the right place at the right time, you could lend to someone else!

[15/f] ok, well i used to be popular. but i'm soo shy that i'm not anymore. and i'm soooo self-concious. i mean seriously. i'm not even myself around my best friend anymore. and i always get nervous and freak out around people. and i can NOT carry on a conversation. how can i fix this... pleaseeeeeeee any advice.

One tip: when you are having a conversation with a person...only keep your eyes locked with that person. Do not let your eyes wander because it'll look as if this person has no value to you. If you start letting others know that they play an important role in your life, things will improve a whole lot.

I'm more upset than I usually am right now because a guy friend of mine just told me that this other girl said i was fat and was making fun of me. I used to not think I was fat, even though I am. I'm curvy and i thought that was sexy, but apparently it's not okay. I'm sitting here crying right now and i've been doing that all day. It's not my fault that I don't have a metabolism. I eat 1200(or fewer) calories a day, only healthy food, and I work out every day, but lo and behold I'm still a fatass! And everyone else i know is an anorexic bitch who eats whatever she wants.

If you don't believe that I'm fat- take a look at this pic: (yes i know the clothes are form-fitting- that's so you can see my figure better)

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n210/LovelyBoylan/howfat.jpg

please don't say anything like "Oh you're so fat hunny you just need to exercise and eat right!" BECAUSE I ALREADY DO BOTH OF THOSE THINGS! GOOD LORD!

So i'd really like some advice on how to feel better about what this girl did to me.

thanks.

You really aren't at the extent this girl had said you were. As long as you are healthy, then rejoice. Celebrate your body: this girl does not even matter and nor should anything she has and will say. =]

okay there are these 2 girls.. not necessarily popular or unpopular. one of them i used to think was okay then she turned really fake and i just really disliked her. the other one she always was like pissed at me. and we were in the same cooking group.. this was before i knew problems would arise.. btw its a cooking group for my 7th grade home ec class. one of the other girls in my group is like on everyone's side but sticks to side of the girl who's always pissed at me. the other one is my friend but shes also kinda on everyones side. anyways in my yearbook i colored on the fake girl's picture in green, and wrote 'fake ogre' next to it. then i drew horns and ugly glasses and a mustache. i did the same to the 'pissed off' girl except i didnt color her in green cuz i didnt feel like it. then today that girl (not the pissed one, the other one who i colored on) asked to sign my yearbook. i didnt want her to, but im like... ok.. i should have said i had like no room left which would be true, but i guess i didnt. so she checked through the yearbook cause some girl told her what i put in the book and she wanted to see. then in home ec she said all these little side comments about it and was like "did you make ___ an ogre too?" she was talking about the girl who was kinda on everyone's side (not my friend, the other one) then i said no. really i dont care if im her friend or not. im really a nice person.. alot of my friends are shocked i did that to their pics but what can i say i was really mad at them and saying sorry wouldnt change the pictures nor would it actually be a sincere apology. i also dont care if they do something bad to my picture.. cause i dont need to be friends with them. by the way tomorrow is the last day of school.. um what do you think of what i did? was it totally crazy or can you like.. relate, and what do i do if they get all up in my face about it? cause yeah i dont care.. but i wanna know if what im doing is right, and what the proper response should be to this.

I understand your position and that you wanted to rid yourself of anger by drawing on their pictures, and truthfully I think you are pretty mature for your age, but as you age and grow more mature you are going to wonder why you have made markings on their pictures. As the years keep on coming you aren't going to want to be at war with anyone at all. It's best to stay on good terms with people even if speaking your mind seems like the solution. You may speak your mind, but after you have said what you felt had a purpose, it is time to be civilized.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
-- Mahatma Gandhi.

what does that mean?

This is directed to Wheeler- get over yourself: you are not wise and you're unintelligent.

Hmmpph, sorry. Okay, I think it could mean...
Some people will overlook you and after they have done that, they will point out a flaw of your's to taunt you. When that action is done, they resort to violence, but if you could find a way around the violence you have won the battle by staying civilized.

is it true like if your in a bath or the lake your period will stop?

I don't see how that could be possible because I always bathe when on my period and nothing changes. It could depend on the person, I guess.

i have a really hard time making decisions about ANYTHING! i mean, even the stupidest, simplest thing, i can't make up my mind about! like any time i go out to eat, i can never decide what to order. so the waitress and everyone has to sit there waiting for me to decide, until someone will finally just pick something for me. and like today i saw this really cute shirt at the store, it came in pink, black and blue. so i sat there for like 35 minutes trying to decide which one i liked best. finally i got the pink one (just cuz my friends were getting mad)... but now i keep thinking "oh no, maybe i shoulda got the blue one!" and its so stupid because ITS JUST A SHIRT! last week i couldnt decide which color sandals i liked best, so i got them in every color (4 pairs) so i wouldnt have to pick, and i wasted all my money!! has anyone else had this problem? and how can i get over this problem?

I experienced this problem severely a few months back. I then read and researched a bit on being "indecisive" and it was stated that such a condition made people view you as weak. No one wants to be weak. We all want to be capable of making decisions under a time crunch. When it comes to selecting an item of clothing by color, think of a color that you do not have much of, yet would still flatter you. It's easier to think of what we don't have than what we'd rather have. Please take these to mind and you will be cured because this really gave me the results I've been hoping for!

I can never sleep if i have something nerve racking to do the next day. and like, when school comes, since im going to a new school, ill be so nervous. what are some ways to go to sleep?

Feng Shui. This is where you rearrange your room. I had the urge to do this one day and I'm no longer dreading sleep! Also, you need to be involved in physical activity to get yourself tired, so you feel like you've earned the right to sleep. It helps to be less shy because the reason I used to stay up was for lack of fulfillment. Give these a try!

ok im a 16/f and this girl who goes to my school won't stop bothering me on myspace. and i've decided that the best way for this to stop is to call her house and talk to her parents but the problem is i can't find her number. i tried looking in the phonebook and way too many people have the same last name as her and i don't want to call every single person. so what should i do?

Delete your myspace, otherwise you're just looking for trouble. Your friends could reach you by phone. That should be enough.

There is a song called "Get it right" i THINK it was on the show Degrassi: The next generation a while ago. It was on the episode where Manny started turning into a whore.

Does anyone know what who sings that song??

Two options: it's either...
Say It Right- Nelly Furtado OR
Get Right- Jennifer Lopez.

It's mostly the first one I have listed. Good luck! =]

Okay so I'm having a sweet 16 in like 3 hours and more than 40 people are going. But the thing is, the weather is TERRIBLE and it's supposed to be a pool party. I feel like my party is ruined. =( So I guess I have to plan some "indoor activities" on really short notice. Any ideas on how I can entertain more than 40 people, other than watching a movie? Thanks.

Limbo...karaoke. I'm sorry that I've supplied you with so few suggestions, but give those a try.
