I have a little sister and she is always getting me into trouble . And my parents dont do any thing about it and my step dad spanks me when I calll her a name what should I do I have no Ideas If any one could answer this question that would be great I need some serious help.

Just relax and take it easy. Your younger sister might seem like the devil, but remember she looks up too you. Try being extremely nice to her so she has nothing to tell on you for. As siblings, yall should try to get along and watch out for one another. Sometimes having a sibling helps when you need someone to help you convince your parents something. We suggest trying to be very nice to her and refrain yourself from calling her any names. Prove to her you are more mature and try your best not to stoop to her lower maturity level. Also if you are doing something that could get you in trouble MAKE SURE that the younger one is nowhere around to tattle on you. goodluck


Is it true that layers of hair actually grow faster than the regular hair,because they must catch up? please help,i sort of need hair-experts..or researched information,i cant seem to find this to be a fact or not (link)
I can assure you that layers of hair do not grow faster than regular hair. It might appear that way depending on how much you get it trimmed. I have asked my hair person many times about how fast hair grows, and he has informed me that it all grows the same (and grows healthier if you get it trimmed approx. every 3-6 weeks).


Ok, my whole life, I've always been convinced of the "impossible"... Things like the paranormal, or prehistoric creatures still living today. But right now, my issue is with the paranormal, more specifically "ghosts". I am almost.... Obsessed, you could say. I visit ghost web pages, read "true" ghost stories, my favourite section of this magazine I read is the sorta, "ghost stories section", and I absolutely love Horror movies. I believe its all possible. And lately I've been freaking out, and "seeing things". Am I paranoid about these things? And does anybody know a way for me to become less jumpy, without having to give up all these things?? (link)
You could maybe cut down on how much you watch, read, and research the paranormal. Find something else that you could be interested in to maybe replace the paranormal "obsession". To become less jumpy cut down on caffeine (if you drink cokes and stuff), try getting more sleep, distract your mind with out thoughts (happy thoughts), and do not watch or read anything scary before you go to sleep or at night time. If you continue hallucinating and it gets worse, you should tell your guardian because you might need medical attention. Goodluck.

OMG!! Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 10 months now...Well She and him were together for 19months and she lived with him for 7 months.But ya anyways that shouldnt matter. She called him for the beginning 4 months. Then out of the blue she stopped well today she called him and said she had servical cancer...She wants him to feel bad..He just regular talked to her it pissed me off. She wants him to feel bad for her i guess. It makes me soo mad that she calls..I HATE HER!!! She shouldnt call. What should I do?? (link)
You should probably talk to your boyfriend about it and tell him how you feel. Maybe say that you think she is a liar (If you do actually think that). If he does not respect the way you feel, then you should probably start looking around for a better guy (and believe me there are some out there!) If you find out that she does NOT have servical cancer then maybe answer the phone when she calls him and say "i really do not appreciate you calling my boyfriend. thanks." and hang out or continue talking and telling her how you feel. Whatever you choose to do first try to find out for sure if she has cancer because if she does then she might just need someone to talk to and your boyfriend is the only person she has. Goodluck with whatever happens!


this kid asked me out and hoped i would say no just to be mean.. what do u suggest i do ? (link)
We think you should say no and just forget about it because he is obviously very immature and needs to grow up. Do not let it bother you, guys can be big jerks sometimes. Another thing you could do is not even give him an answer and just ignore him. He is not worth your time anyways! Goodluck


Hi. Alright so there is this guy and i like him so much and he liked me until... well... i gave my really good friend his screen name and she flirted with him and acted all fake when she talked to him and now he likes her. They havn't even met! I am so mad but i dont wanna talk to her about it because she'll be like "what r u talking about?", and act like im crazy. She doesn't even know I like him. I don't wanna ruin our friendship but at the same time im so mad... and confused... im afraid if i tell her then she'll tell him and he'll think im an idiot. Alright this probably sounds like another silly teen love problem... but it really hurts. And I don't know what to do. I can't stop thinking about it. Please help.

Thanks (link)
First of all, if your really good friend did not know that you liked him then you should probably tell her now before the situation gets worse. After you tell her you like him, make SURE she knows NOT to tell him. If she tells him, like you said she might do... "if i tell her then she'll tell him and he'll think im an idiot"...then this girl is not a good friend to you and you need to stop that friendship immediately. You really do not want a friend that will try to snatch guys away from you at the drop of a dime. What kind of friend is that anyways? As for this guy, remember there are so many more out there! If you really like him just keep talking to him and if he ends up not liking you back in the same way then at least you could have him as a friend and that would be better than nothing. Goodluck


ok. i want a new sn! And i want it 2 do with Green Day! (link)
Here are two ideas =)

No Shenanigans

aGreenInsomniac

hmm..I really like green day's music, but I do not know much about them. My friend told me one of them has a tattoo with like the number hmmm 22? you probably know what im talking about..but you could put that number in whatever you decide to have as your screen name. Okay goodluck!


I have writers block, I can't seem to come up with any ideas that will really work. Does anyone know of anything that might help me? (link)
We do not know what you are writing about, but we would have to suggest writing about something you know a lot about or have experienced. You could take an experience you've had and then add even more drama too it, add characters, and that would be a start.

If you are wanting to research something and then write about it you could research serial killers, the foster care system, abuse, ghosts, drugs, countries, animals, a certain decade...basically anything.

I (Alex) enjoy anything that is horror related. Ad enjoys love stories.

Sorry if this did not help. Goodluck writing though!


Well I'm not really getting invited to too many parties. A girl named Katee had a huge party and I wasnt invited...I feel like a loser and left out....any ways on how to have more friends or something like that? (link)
The easiest way to make friends is to be very nice to people and listen to them. If you are a good listener, then people will be drawn to you because lets face it...everyone has something to talk about. If you are always smiling, you will seem approachable and people will not get the impression that you are shy, rude, stuck up...or anything like that. A smile says a thousand words! =) Do not worry about being invited to a party. Half of the people that went are most likely not even her friends and were just using her to have a place to hang out. Just remember to be friendly and smile and you'll have friends within no time! goodluck babe!


ok i never realised i liked this boy so much until i talked to him on the phone about a month ago.I hinted to him that i liked him but then tryed to avoid it i said that i did not go to the reunion which he was at because i liked someone there. He went through names and i went quiet on his name.He asked me if it was him and i changed the subject now i am thinking it was the wrong thing 2 do.He asked me 2 call him back but i told him i always call him and can he call me he agreed but never called! He asked me 2 be with him! i was so excited and agreed but then i have heard nothing did he change his mind??? One of my best friends said its because i went out with someone in our secondary school and it was not him and my friend thinks it is because i went out with someone else the thing is i never did anything with that boy i went out with.In fact i wanted to make the boy i like now jealous but i think it never worked.My question is what shall i do now?I can't phone him again because it will look like i really like him if i keep calling him.Thanx xxx (link)
If you are unwilling to call this boy then you could either find someone else to be your new interest or wait it out. You should gather up the courage and confidence to call him and maybe offer to hang out. Be casual and wait until later (like after yall have hung out and established some kind of friendship) to hint to him that you like him. If he rejects the idea of being more than friends then you should definitely move on. There are plenty of guys out there so do not waste too much time on this one. Just be confident and casual the next time you talk to him. If you decide not to call him, then definitely start looking around for other cuties. I am sure you will find someone else that is worth your time! goodluck


I am going out with someone that is a year younger than me and no one has really said anything to me about it yet but i have a feeling they will...i cannot stand when people continuously say crap to me about it...is it really wrong that hes a year younger? (link)
There is nothing wrong with going out with someone only a year younger than you. The only problem you might face is the maturity difference between the two of you. You might begin to realize is a little bit too immature for you but of course that is not their fault. However, this person might be mature for their age and you will have no problem. If you really like this person then do not worry about the age and what people may think. The important thing is that you enjoy their company and have a good time. If it makes you feel any better we knew a girl who was a senior in high school that dated a sophomore boy and they got a long fine for a while. Other girls started doing that after she did. We prefer older boys just because of the whole maturity thing. If you feel your guy is on your level then do not worry about his age and have a good time. Sorry this is so long! Goodluck


Okay i have this grandma and she wants us to go every where. My mom wants us to spend the night there to night but I hate spendining the night at her house.She snores and she gets on my nerves. And I dont want to go. What are some good tips on how i can make my mom give my grandma A excuse to get out of spending the night I hate it,and every time I go over there I get a head ache and she is sooooooooooooooo boring some tips on how i can get some excuses would be great i will rate high for good answers but people that tell me what I spell wrong i will give you a one.

Brittany (link)
First, we must say that we understand how grandmas can be very hard to deal because they can be boring and even to the point of annoying. However, with each day they get closer and closer to passing away and if you love her despite all the things she does that bothers you...you should spend as much time with her as you can. Maybe you should tell your mom "Mom I understand you would like me to spend time with grandma, and I will but she makes it very difficult to sleep so can I at least come home and sleep in my own bed." That is the best thing you could say that we can think of. Explain to your mother that you love your grandma very much but you really do not like to stay the night over there. Good-luck!


ok well theres this new girl named kristen that came to our school like 4 months ago and she acts all popular and shes really mean.anyways one day our teacher was picking partners for a project and she picked my best friend diana and kristen:(then they started playing with each other and doing everything together.kristen is just taking diana away from me:(so what should i do?i want my best friend diana back! (link)
You should talk to Diana and tell her that you are beginning to feel left out. If she is a good friend, then she will understand and try to include you more and reassure you that you are not losing her as a friend. Do not be jealous of the new girl though. Jealousy will get you nowhere. Maybe you could become her friend and then yall can all hang out together. If the new girl is still mean after you give her a chance, then just worry about keeping your friendship with Diana. If she ditches you, then she was not a good friend to begin with. Make sure you are prepared to be there for Diana when Kristin upsets her by who knows...gossiping about her...or finding someone new to hang out with and ditching her. What you should do is talk with your friend, continue to be a good friend to her, and remember if she is a good friend then she will not ditch you for this new girl. Good-luck babe!


ok so i know you guys get this a lot..but i really need specific details on how to tell if a guy likes you..any help would be appriciated(sp?)

thnx in advance!:) (link)
Here are some ways to tell if he likes you:

He'll look at you, until you turn around, then he will quickly look the other way.

He may do something physical - like grab you in a playful way, poke you, play with your hair...

He may ask a friend of yours about you.

He talks to everybody else - but when you're around he turns silent, or chokes up.

You seem to accidentally bump into him a lot of different places.

He'll give you a little smile from across the room, but if you get near, he won't look up.

Basically - the BIG clue is that his behavior changes when you're around (compared to when he's around his buds or other girls).

DEAD Giveaway - when you talk to him he turns red.

ill give every one 5's who trys to help!

**help** (link)
You should see this guy first before you make any decisions on whether or not you should ask him if he likes you. If you met him online (which I am assuming so I might be wrong) then be VERY careful when you choose a meeting place. If however you are sure he is not a creepy old man off the internet, then suggest hanging out at the mall or a public place. I definitely do not suggest seeing a movie together because you will not have the chance to talk and get to know each others personality in person. You should ask him very casually if he would like to hang out. When you ask him, do not act nervous or unsure. Act as if it is very normal and not a big deal so it will not be uncomfortable. When you hang out with him it should be easier to tell if you likes you as a friend or as more than a friend. Might we also suggest going on a double date or something along those lines. Tell him to bring a friend and so will you and yall can all hang out together. If yall talk on the phone a lot then you probably already know he is not some creep, but still be careful! Guys can be very tricky! Just try out your luck and remember when you ask him to hang out be very casual and if for some reason he rejects it be ready for it and say something like "Aw that's too bad" then change the subject and start considering finding another potential boyfriend. Goodluck!!


Is there any way of convincing my mom to let me babysit? She says she wants me to wait awhile. She said she would consider it though. Anyway, I would be babysitting with my friend. So she may be more comfortable about that. So how can I convince her to let me? And any ideas about how I could spread my services (if she says yes)? (link)
First, you should start by showing your mom that you are mature and can handle responsibility. Anything from doing all of your chores plus some to saying please and thank you. Displaying good manners shows maturity as well as helping out around the house. Then, you can approach your mom and ask very politely if you can be allowed to babysit. Maybe say something along the lines of "I would really appreciate it if you would allow me the opportunity to have the responsibility of watching the children for you. I will not take my eyes off of them and I will call you if I have any questions or if any type of emergency occurs." Saying something like that might persuade her. A good way to spread your services is by word of mouth. Tell your mom to tell any of her adult friends that have children that you would love to babysit for them if they have errands to run. Good-luck!


Okay, I know this is a weird question, but I seriously need some help... kinda.
Well I have the worst case of the hiccups, I have tried what seems like everything to get rid of them. Anyone have any ideas how to get rid of the hiccups? (link)
Just hold your breath and count to 30...or get someone to scare you...or play a game with someone and they have to make you feel rushed like they can ask you to name 5 bald guys as fast as you can...and they will be like "come on..faster...who who?" and make you nervous because you are trying to think so fast and they are pressuring you. It worked for me..sounds weird but its worth a try..hiccups are annoying huH? goodluck


I just got accepted 2 a very good school for advanced studies. In the coming year I want 2 Stay focused. Does any1 have tips for staying on top of grades? (link)
The solution to staying on top of grades is to study. However, make sure you have some fun too. Studying all the time and stressing out about grades can be very depressing. You might even become anti-social because all you are worried about is studying and making high grades. Grades do not define you. We do not know if you are one of those people that cries if you do not make the A...but just incase you are...remember a B is perfectly fine. Have fun while you are young because no one is young forever. Balance studying and hanging out with friends so you do not get lonely and depressed. Maybe form study groups at Starbucks or someone's house and after everyone studies for a while yall can go out. Flashcards help...writing something multiple times down will commit it to memory. Congrats on being accepted to those two good school! We wish you the best and remember to have fun too!
