I took one of my friends to play tennis and he wasnt very good. But the thing that really got to me was that he kept critizing me and telling me what a bad player I WAS!!
I told him that I was just learning to play and was taking lessons. Then he said "what kind of lessons are you taking" and that I was "holding the racket all wrong".
He also said my stamina wasnt very good. What a jerk!! I was nice enough to drive him up to the court and be patient with him even though he was terrible. I may not be a pro but I was certainly better then him.
Well I havent asked him to play since then but he has been asking me if I want to play again.. Should I tell him the truth that I just don't want to play because of how he made me feel?
He also insulted me by saying he bought his wife a tennis racket and that she is "at my level". And I know that is an insult because she isn't athletic at all.
What should I do? And do I have a right to be upset?

Tough Question. If this kid was mature, you'd easily be able to tell him why, and he wouldn't get mad. But something tells me he's not. So just avoid it as long as you can. Find a new player. Tennis is a tricky sport I've been playing for two years now, and I'm still not that good. Don't let him frusturate you in any way. Stamina can always be gained, just like skill. Just find a wall and hit the ball agaisnt the wall, focus on strong basics than worry about playing 1 on 1. Tell your friend this if you want, and tell him your just gonna work on basics. A good idea would be ask your instructor if he has anyone who would play you. someone better that can teach you and help you while your playing. good Luck , this was suprisingly a pretty tough question.

okay i have cut myself in the past and kinda still do...i am anorexic and get upset easily...when my mom found out i was cutting she said "Dont be a stupid f***"...and i asked to see a therapist and she said i dont need to..she jus doesnt understand...i dont know what to do...i am so anorexic ive lost my period and i am starting to cut again ((along with suicide poems)) and i obviously cant ask her...school counselours dont work..i've tried..please help!

This is a huge problem. Theres always different answers for different type of people. but The school system should have helped. If it hasn't, theres only one thing left, unless your willing to be locked in a mental facitly and I'm sure your not. Even if it would be for the best. you have to fight it yourself. you have to sit down and think to yourself, "why am I doing this?" if theres problems at home what can you do to stop them, and don't please don't ever say there nothing you can do. Theres always someone there to help. If it's boy problems which I doubt but it could be. Don't let it bother you at such a young age. It's not worth it. When food comes into play, it's just as big as cutting. I've heard from so many people that cutting is a "stress reliever" it's not your hurting yourself in a way you don't understand. It takes one slip of the blade and you can hit a major vain. It's all over than, and I know you don't want that for the simple fact your seeking my help. When it comes to not Eating. You have too!! Which is obvious, but your body needs that food. Obviouslu your relizing whats going on. You hair can fall out, or teeth can rot. And the problem with that is that look in the mirror and i don't know if you do, but it's a mind game. they look in the mirror and tell themselves there sitll fat even at 75lbs. Be smarter than that! please for your own sake. It's so improtant to realize that there's a reason everyones on this earth. And even if you were picked to be the avg girl so what. please, stop doing this to yourself. Find the good in yuorself, and in everoyne and everything around you. Focus on school, fid a sport ( not until you get yourself healthy again though) and focus on what your gonna do after school is done. someday you'll realize the mistakes your making now and regret them. Stop now before you have more regrets your taking years off your life. I KNOW YOU DON'T Want that. Please just get yourself the help you, need or do it yourself, which I'm 100% confident your capable of doing. And as for the poems, write down your problems into a poem, and analyze it. Use that as a template to figure out whats going wrong, and fix it the healthy way. good Luck, and be strong, control your life don't any problems take conrtol for you.

Does any one know how i can lose a pant size and how long will it take..

i rate 5's

thankss

It's all depending on your body type. Usually the pants exersices or simple, but can be harsh on your back. For example, Crunches will work wonders if you do enough. but can be horrible on your spine and neck. so the price of looking good is painfull. There also various work out machines. But most are expensive. If you consistant with crunches, and you don't feel pain in your neck. Do about 25-30 a day. Going up a 5 or so everyday. Like this maybe

Day 1-25
Day 2-30
day 3-40
day 4-45
day 5-55
day 6-60
day 7-70

Theres a 7 day schedule. It's not always easy, and eating right as a huge part to do with it, but it will pay off in the end. you may even develop abs if your consistant, and keep up on it. Good Luck, and I hope this helps.

Dr. Minkus

Extra tips- If you neck doesn't hurt from crunches but your lower back does, try laying on a blanket, or yoga mat if you have one.

-If you find crunches to be to easy. Maybe try taking a 15 pounds weight and holding it on your chest and continue to do crunches. You're sure to break a sweat, but you'll drop that pants size in roughly 15-30. *I consistant with exersice, and eating properly.

What is a stock stereotype.. also known as a character stereotype?? ive looked online but i cant find it:(

A stereotype is simple. The stock, character are just different forms of the word. It all basically means the same. It just states that each person fits in a "stereo type" that "stereo type" can be
1. jock
2. Prep
3. Ghetto
4. Gothic
And everthing else like that. But I've found that rarley anyone fits into one stereo type. Some people fit perfectly. Like jocks are said to be "All braun, and no brain" I know a couple kids like that. and preps are said to be "The rich kids, that dress nicest" but what are they worth?

Hope I answered your questions

okay i know this might sound like a stupid question, but im not quite sure what it means what does it mean when a guy says he wants to fuck you really badly? is it fingering you or to have sex?

thank you!

It could mean a couple of things. It could mean he's a pervert, or it could mean you've been dating a while, and your both ready. but that of course isn't your question. When he wants to "f**k you badly" It's got nothing to do with fingering. It means he wants to penetrate, your Vaginal crevace with his male genetalia. Or simply he wants to put his meat in your taco. Fingering is some the total opposite. You can't get pregnant, nor can he (obviously) lol I hope this helped and even made you laugh a little.

a boy liked me. i'm scared of relationship. he loses feelings for me. not his fault. i run away from every guy. i start to like him. he doesnt know. i dont even really know what my question is......IM THAT CONFUSED!!!

Love is a funny thing. Conffusion is often the right to passage. If he likes you, he will make his move. If he's not the type of guy to make a move, even if it means only just saying a random "hi" than it's your job to make a move. It may seem difficult. But if you truly do like this kid. You'll do whats necesary. and maybe your scared to be shot down. But you only have a couple years to be a teenager, and have fun. So isn't it worth trying. I have an idea for you. It's gonna sound sorta dumb but it can work. Make up a false screen and make it convincing. Prefabbly a guys screen name. And talk to him as another "dude" figure slowly who he has his eyes on, and if your one of them. It's your turn to act. Good Luck! Hope this is hopefull
