Right, to begin with, if you've done something stupid, or have made blatant errors, I'll more than likely be perturbed. Congratulations, you've stoked my ire. I now hate you.

I i got the dancing game i wanted (DDR). I cant stop playing it. My mom says i acn lose a lot of weight playing it. Is losing a lot of weight good or bad? I need help. (link)
That really depends on who you ask.

Most teenage girls think that they can never be too skinny(not really that's somewhat of a stereotype). This leads to...no, not exercise, the next best thing, eating very little, and vomiting a lot!

Really though, losing weight is not really a bad thing, and if its through exersise, and not starvation, then it should be fine.

Oh, and if you ever become too skinny, as in you become addicted akin to some of the others on this site, you can look into FFR(Flash Flash Revolution). Its a flash-based version of the game, that you can play for free on the internet. Grab a bag of chips, and sit your ass down for some binge eating and non-exercising. Cheers!


when a guy is giving u a hickie, what should you do? just lay their? or do you kiss him or what im so confused? (link)
It is usually understood that you are to beat him over the head with a small toy hammer whilst sacrificing a baby goat to Heimdall, in the hopes that he will let you into Asgard.

Note: we are using Asgard, the home of the gods, synonomously with sex. Just in case you were wondering.


i have a mad big problem with eating im skinny but all i do is eat my friends think its so disgustin how much i eat and sometimes i eat so much i just want to throw up and then eat some moe i dont know whats wrong with me and i eat when im happy sad mad bored hungry full i dont care i just eat and eat and never gain one pound which im happy about and i want to stop because i eat so much it makes me sick but i still wanna eat after that im so confused (link)
Allright, I can solve this.

The reason you don't gain any weight is because you don't slow down. Throw in some punctuation or breathe a bit more. Lie down on the couch and vegetate for a little while, Gods know the rest of America does.

You could try some hypnotherapy, and should that not work then just staple your mouth shut.

Also, I defend TheRussianMailman. While you may not be fat, his dare I say "friendly" appellation of you as "fatty" was merely a jest, and you've no need to "go over there and punch [him] in [his] face."

Fatty.


Next week im flying to Hawaii alone in an aircraft, but i have a phobia for planes and i don't want to panic during the flight or cry. I can go on airplanes thats not a problem but im just scared. Does anyone know how to get rid of the phobia (link)
To start: I think it would go under mental illnesses since a phobia is, after all, a mental illness.

There's really not a way to stop yourself from being afraid of something, should it really be a phobia, probably acrophobia with a little aeroacrophobia mixed in. You could try this website:
http://www.ineedmotivation.com/hypnoplanes.htm

But if you really want to cut the cost, go out and buy a five dollar bottle of sleeping pills, that way you will be out for the whole plane ride, and you wont mind!
Oh, and if you snore then you should get some snoring medicine too; being courteous to the person sitting next to you will help if you accidentally wake up mid-flight.


To finish: if you don't want hypnotherapy or medication, then just try to sleep, or think of the fact that you're going to Hawaii!! Let's hear if for islands, eh? (Not tsunamis, though.)


im 16!
im scared to french kiss a guy and theres this one guy that i really like an he likes me to but everytime im with him i get scared an i just kiss him on the lips an no more. im scared im goign to do it wrong or something . i dunno what to do (link)
Firstly, I'm a guy so if you don't want to read my answer, stab your eyes.

I think that if he likes you, as you say, then there shouldn't be a problem. Or just, "do what feels right" that tends to work.



Also, I love that thing you do; combining articles and prepositions, or just doubling up on the prepositions. Awesome!


I know there's probably a ton of questions out there like this, but i'm gonna ask it anyway. I love this guy to death and he's my friend. He just broke up with his g/f whom he was obsessed with. I don't really know how to get things going. He's absolutely amazing, and i'd do almost anything to be with him. Any advice? (link)
I think you should determine how far you will go for him. In example, would you kill a panda for him?


Actually I think you probably should determine what is more important: you friendship, or you "love-ship." Then, ask yourself if you're lucky. Chances are, if you try to start something more serious, and he only thinks of you as a friend, then you're screwed. But, you've got a shot, right?



Seriously kids, don't kill pandas.


I somehow got my bfs friends number in my phonebook. His friend texted me saying "i need to tell u something" so i told my bf i found something that i didnt want to knw. then i went to work n my bf calls n tells me he cheated on me. i go home, call him n he tells me he wont do it again, he wants to be w me, he wants a straight forward relationship. so I gave him a second chance was that wrong?He cheated on me w a girl he supposable hates, they went out b4 n she cheated on him, she hates his best friend. First he said he did it bc he didnt want to hurt her feelings then he said bc hes stupid then he said bc it just happened then finally tells me the truth bc he wants to get laid. (link)
Well, I may be a guy and such, but I kind of think that you probably should weigh out everything logically. I mean, does a magazine really hold all the answers?

Let's take an article I read called "The Great Moon Hoax of 1857." That entire article is about a scandal in the media in which several newspapers printed a story about a telescope that could zoom to withing 3 meteres on the Moon's surface. Obviously this was pure poppycock, and in no way true. Yet this newspaper had the audacity to continue, and say that there was life on the Moon. Life?! On the Moon?! "Ridiculous," you say? So we may think, but the people back in 1857 believed it, and since it was in print, it must be true. Right?



Note: I don't really remember the actual year, but 1857 is a nice number don't you think?


im mad scared of spiders and the other day my math teacher threw a dead spider on my head and i was freakin out and cryin and i told the principle and now the teachers caliin me a liar ugh i hate him (link)
Hmm, I must have missed the question, but I suppose I should try some advice.



Firstly, I think you should probably tell the "principle" that your "teachers" lying, and that its really not something you would make up just out of spite. That is assuming that you've not had any sort of record in that class as being a troublemaker, which would more or less place the heavy burden of reasonable doubt on your teacher. Also, I suppose that you should reason out what disciplinary action you plan for your "principle" to take. It may not be a serious offense unless your teacher knew full well of your arachnaphobia; but, if he did know, then that would explain him "caliin" you a liar. No matter what, I don't think the teacher would be canned simply for that sort of thing, even if he did know of your hatred of spiders(especially dead ones...Ergh).

Well, I guess I hope I've answered your uh...question.


Um, hi, I want help... Ok, i have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which means you're really obsessed with doing things like washing your hands and taking a bath like so many times a day just to get rid of germs (yeah you need to). But sometimes you just do it even if you don't need to. I am also obsessive about locking doors. I think this can turn into depression. I'm trying to fight it. I don't wanna tell anyone but my really close friends cause I don't like expressing myself. And I wouldn't like taking pills or anything cause my mom is a nurse and she said that sometimes it can make it worse. How can i stop myself from doing things i don't really want to do. I do it even though i don't really want to cause I just force myself to. Soo... please give me your advice! I need help!
~Shy girl~ (link)
I have OCD as well. Mine, however, manifests itself with the immense need to see things done properly, completely devoid of stupidity. Unfortunately, there isn't much of a repreive from this. Now, while that may be only one symptom of the mental illness, and only one of them, it will not go away untreated. While I may not be a doctor, I don't really see any evidence of a person with such a mental illness ever freeing themselves from without any help whatsoever. Should you really wish to be free of it, I must suggest you go on medication. Granted, you mother is mostly right; ninety-nine times out of one hundred, you will see the person's personality change as a result of the medication that they are taking. Thusly, I'm afraid you will have to come to terms with this, and take some medication, or suck it up and bathe three times a day.

Sorry.



Also, I find it quite disturbing that one should call it a "mental illness" merely becuase its not the norm.

Yay society.
