Hey i'm Maddie and i'm 16 and i have a 10 month old daughter Shiloh Taylor who is my world :) I might seem young but I have gained alot of knowledge throughout my years and I love to help so ask away!

advice

William is a kid that from day One of school in Kindergarden no one liked. He was always bullied, always hated. Well two years ago I stayed back, and I didn't have to deal with him. Well then last year he CHOSE to stay back to leave the 8th graders that hated him and kicked the crap out of him.And i took this as God [[which I have newly let into my heart]] has given me a second chance. I was really mean to this kid when he was in my grade so for half the year I stuck up for him when no one else would.
Well then he started yelling at me! So I was like whatever let kids pick on your I personally dont care and i stopped sticking up for him. Now I fear my life, because he's gone phycotic. I believe he is the next kid to do a Columnbine. I am DEAD SERIOUS. He told me, and a couple of people that if he had one day left to live he would have a masacar. Well Friday I got in thi huge fight with him that I will not get in details with him and when I accepted Christ I promised myself I would never hit another person unless self defense. Well I am now afraid for my life, I personally think i will be the first kid shot when he does this. I donno if I should tell someone... like my parents who wont care cuz they never do. Or my teacher. Maybe my Guidance teacher. I dont know.. but Im afraid to go to school. He is making personal threats to me that he's gunna punch me in the face. yeh and when that happened Cole was like Dont you fucking touch her or I swear to God-- and then I kinda shut him up. But I dont wanna get anyone who annually stand up for me in trouble and I dont wanna shot.
Any help.

okay if i were you i would go striaght to your guidance teacher and let them know all that's been going on. this is probably just some kid who is all talk, but just to be completely sure nothing will happen, i would tell someone. i'm very happy you decided to speak up about this because you could be the one that saved many lives from a terrible attack. i hope everything gets resolved and i wish you the best of luck!

This is kind of awful, but I'm a little scared of people with physical or mental problems... like I hate going to the old folks's home because many of the occupants are either physically messed up or not all there. I don't feel comfortable talking to them, or anyone with an obvious physical ailment, like if they are in a wheelchair or have cerebral palsy. I also have a hard time around mentally handicapped people- I just don't know what to do with myself! I don't feel comfortable, I try to be polite and smile, but I know everyone can tell that I'm not used to it/ not comfortable. What do I do???? Please help... I want to be more at ease around people that have these ailments. I realize that they are the same as me and deserve every bit of respect that I can give, but still... Any advice would be appreciated!

okay this a problem for many, and one of them used to be. before, i was exactly like you, not sure what to say or how to act. this problem is not going to just go away, you need time. i no you've probably heard this many times, but you really need to just act like there a normal person, with NOTHING wrong. obviously you can see that something is wrong with them, but you just need to try to relax. when you first start talking to them you can usually tell what mental state they are at, like if there at a 5th grade level or 1st grade or if there mind is completely normal, and you should just treat them by what you can tell by that. dont ask someone who is clearly at a lower level about the latest political debate, because they wont know, you can just talk to them about there family for instance, or school. and for people with just a handicap, you need to try to see past that and try your hardest not to stare at the thing that is different, maybe there wheelchair, etc. i hope i helped and just remember that they are people with emotions just like you!

ok i shave but then it looks like i dont uk what i mean! how do i get rid of that and i sweat like i put deoderant on but i still sweat through!

okay the only thing i can think about with the shaving this is next time you shave use shaving cream and shave with your hair, you know what i mean? like don't go against the hair, go with it.
and for your sweating problem, i used to have the same problem, and my solution was to use 'certain dry'. it is this really good antipersperent, you put it on at night, and it kinda tingles, and the next day you wont sweat neerly as much! it works sooo well i love it, it's my little lifesaver. all you have to do it put it on every night and your good! im pretty sure you can get it at any store, like h-e-b or walmart, or wherever you shop. i wish you the best of luck and i hope everything works out!

I am going to a camp this summer, and i have never been to a camp before. This camp is at Tippicanoe in Indiana. If you have been there, or to any camp before can you tell me what it is like. I think it might be fun, but i am kind of afraid.

what do you think of camp?

i was in the same position as you a couple years ago. i was sooo afraid to go to camp!
the way that most camps work is you get assigned to a cabin with a couple other kids like about 10 girls/guys depending on your gender. and you have a couple concelors for your cabin. you normally have a schedule that you have to follow along with everyone else in the camp and you just go with the flow. i know that you'll have fun, just be yourself!
best of luck, maddie :)

My Bf cheated on me when I was 7 months pregnant. He actually slept with the giel who later claimed she was pregnant from him. He later on told after I had our baby at 7 months pregnant. Now i don't know what to do. I want to wrk things out and put this behind me but I can't. We have two kids toghther and we've been with each other for 3yrs. Its so hard to let go of him when we have kids together.I really feel confused and hurt. I don't know if he'll do it again. i want to leave but I"m stuck....

i think the only real thing you can do is to follow your heart. i know it sounds cheesy and all but i can't think of anything else to do. i mean does he feel like 'the one'? if i were you i'd dump him in a second, but i'm not so idk. he did something really hurtful and i think you should really let him know that. i'm really sorry for all of your missfortune, and i wish you all the best.

Okay i got my toenails removed due to ingrown toenails. It kept occuring so the doctor's removed them completely. This is only on my two big toes. My highschool prom is on thursday and i want to wear toeless shoes but am too scared to show off my toes. Is there anything anyone knows of that i can buy, i know you can get fake toenails but they are all put on by glue and are for nail to nail contact it says nothing about skin.

any ideas?

even though they say nail to nail, you can still put them on your skin it wont do anything. and also you can just paint right on yoour skin with the nailpolish and it wont look any different then a normal toe, unless someone like uses a magnifying glass to look at them. lol. i hope i helped and i hope you have a great prom!

I overdosed on cocaine 19 months ago, I had to go to the hospital, saw 2 doctors and a cardiologist, first they told me I had an irregular heartbeat and an enlarged heart, now they tell me that its not enlarged and my heartbeat is more regular. I've developed massive anxiety from the overdose, I always check my pulse and worry that my heart is going to stop or explode or something. EVERY single day for the past 19 months, I have been suffering from anxiety and mild to medium heart pains, I wouldn't quite say severe, though. I've come to rely on alcohol because it helps me forget about this. No one seems to really understand my problem for what it is, I think people think I'm faking it when I say I'm in pain. Its gotten so bad that many times that I'm offered to go out to dinner or hang out with friends, I'll decline, out of fear that I'll have a heart attack or a horrible panic attack while I'm in an unfamiliar surrounding. Suicide seems easier than living with this, but I don't actually have plans to commit suicide, they're just thoughts in my head. What should I do? Doctors can't pinpoint something with my heart, and I can't afford to keep going to the doctor or to get a therapist..

i don't know how much help i can be to you, but i just wanted to let you know that you are not alone! i used to have the same feelings as you, i no from experience that knowing that other people have the same problems isnt exactly going to cure what is going on, it could help a little, right? i REALLY dont want you to get as bad as i did, so please just try to think positive! you need to stay involved in activities with your friends and family, as hard as it may seem, it will help, i promise. it's okay that you dont have enough money to go to the doctor or therapy, because i went to all those places, and truthfully, they didnt help one bit. also, i no a whole lot about anxiety, ive lived with it forever! i know that feeling of being scared and all that, im thinkning what you need is a really good friend, someone who can be with you at your high and low points and to reassure you that your okay and to help you. i really hope that you find someone like that to help you and i will always wish the best for you. please know that there's always hope and there's always a light at the end of the scary and treacherous tunnel.

well, i have just created a myspace layout website june 1st. i need some help with making layouts, here's some questions i need answered:

1. where do you get your graphics/pictures from to make layout backgrounds?
2. is it possiable to make good layouts without photo shop pro, and if yes; how do you do it?
3. is there a way to make images appear clearer?
4. is copying images from the internet plagerism if you alter them?
5. where can you get a basic css style sheet to start from?
6. any tips?

okayyy all i no is you can go to whateverlife.com and they have some good shizz and i dont think you can make things clearer and i dont think that its plagerism if you alter it. and you can just google in anything random you want for it like 'cute myspace icons' or whatever you want and there will be bunches of stuff you can use. hope i helped!

My mother was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia, yet she is in denial. If you scream at her to get help, her face remains completely unchanged and emotionless.
She thinks everyone is out to get her, and against her; trying to take me and my brother away from her,which has already been done.
In March of last year, my little brother John was taken by his father from my mother. She hasn't seen him since. But he did it for John's own safety because at the time, my mother was somewhat abusing me, and she went to jail for it for four months.
She blames my father, Johns father, and her own mother for everything that;s happening to her, and nothing we say will convince her to get help. She doesn't think she needs help, and absolutely refuses to get it.
On June 4th of this year my grandmother is going to stop paying for my mother hotel room [since the state of Georgia won't allow her to be around me alone] and is going to stop helping all in one.
Then we're going to Virgina for about 5 days; so my mother won't come to us asking for more help.
Thinking about doing that to my own mother, whom I love to death, breaks my heart.

I really need help on how to make her understand that she needs help...or I'll never have my old mother back ):

i understand that you want to help her and all, but to tell you the truth you have done all you can. she has a mental illness and no matter what you say she will probably never believe you that she does, unless she gets medicine and help. i think the best thing for you to do in this situation is to help yourself, meaning get out of there and go live with someone else and not have to deal with her because im sure it is adding so much stress to your life and holding you back from doing the things you want to achieve in life. in time your mother will get better but it will be a long and hard road that she will have to take. im really sorry that you are having to go through this but in the end she will be alot better then before, im not saying everything is going to be perfect, but i no it will be alot better then before. i really hope everything turns out okay and if you have any other questions you can send me a message. i hope i helped! :)

i have recently been self medicating myself and ive been acting very weird like should i jus stop takin all of it completely or wat??Also ive been cutting for 5yrs and ive tried stopping by using my coping skills and everything but my body has been giving up on me.There are times now that when i get mad i feel suicidal and i hear things>>>>HELP

wow this is like reading my life story. the same exact things happened to me, i cut myself, i was always angry or mad or sad, i tried everything, but in the end all i wanted to do was die. there is a solution to this horrible thing that your going through, though it might not seem that way. idk if your parents no about all your feelings or anything but the way i got help was because my parents found out i cut myself and they made me go to a therapist AND pschycologist and the pschycologist gave me medicine for depression and some mood stabilizer and bi polar stuff and yes it takes awhile to find the right medicine that helps, but TRUST ME, you will get better! so i would advise you to TELL SOMEONE your problems and then let it go from there. you will get into therapy and all that jazz and eventually, you will be back to your normal self. you have a long road ahead of you and i wish you the best of luck.

Ok i need a job and im only 14.
And i kinda have a bad record for stealing.
>.<
I know its so bad.And im scared thats gona make me shy for job offers.
And is there any jobs that dont care?
I mean i learnd my lesson and if i do it again i know whats comming at me.
=]
Thanks
~brittany

hey brittany,
well i'm not really sure there are any good jobs that will want a 14 year old with a record for steeling, but i'm pretty sure there are some. i mean there's always the babysitting choice, or theres taking care of peoples pets, but if your looking for a REAL job, like at a store or something i'm not so sure. it's hard to get a job anywhere if your 14, even without stealing on your record. im sorry im not much help the only thing i can think of is like at a mcdonalds or something and even there i'm not sure the age. when your 15 (in a year!) there will be alot of job openings and i don't think they are really going to care all that much if they know you used to steal, it's not like you murdered anyone haha. i hope i helped and i hope you start raking in the cash!!! best of luck, maddy :)

I was wondering what to do for my teeth. I am going to college next year. In my second year I am getting braces, top and bottom at separate times.. it's really late and there are reasons for why I am caring now but w/e the damage is done. I would like my teeth whitened but is there a point if I am just going to get braces later? I would probably need the procedure done more than once.. how many months should I wait in between getting them whitened?

Reason being, I brush erratically when I feel like it and I finally kind of started brushing.. usually once a day as of last year. I am seeing the ramifications of not properly brushing or brushing at all over the 17 years I've been alive. So my question is, will laser teeth whitening work for me? I'm not sure what it's called or if there are other methods. For example, Crest Whitestrips probably aren't strong enough for me, right? Everyone is always talking about yellow stains on their teeth due to coffee and tea, but what about for teeth that are naturally a little yellow or teeth that have been neglected (have not been brushed for a long time)? :[ Please help! Thanks in advance!

well if your going to get braces soon i would advice you not to go get them like professionally whitened because you would just be wasting money because when you have braces no one can tell what color teeth you have. and whenever people get braces off there teeth are always yellow! so your not alone. but before you get them on if you want a fast easy way to get them a tad lighter you should get crest white strips, or even an off brand of them works the same and just as well. they really do work i had very yellow teeth after having braces on for 5 years and i used whitestrips and my teeth are nice and white now. i hope i answered all your questions! best of luck!

Ok, this is really weird. The girl I like, well, helped out a boy get my attention I THINK because she likes me. Ok, here is what happened. These are fake names.

Bob (Boy who wanted something from me), wanted a sharpie marker to use from me. I couldn't hear him, as he is in the back of the class. Here is basically what happened in actions and speaking.

Girl I like (Let us call her Mary for now)

Ok, I was sitting down coloring in a project when across the room I hear Mary calling my name, kind of stretching out one of her arms and stumbling on my name as she repeats it. Now no one else did this. Then she smiles at me and points her thumb to her left, which where Bob was. He asked for the sharpie marker, I gave it to him.

The part I found interesting was the way she called my name. She sounded nervous calling my name as she smiled and stretched her arm. She didn't even look at Bob, the whole time she was calling my name it was at me. Even with pointing her thumb at Bob. She also stuck up for me in class this morning. You know how I said that one girl was really annoying to me right? Well she tried to pick a fight with me (Verbally) and she said "*Girl name here*, why are you always trying to pick fights?" and she stopped trying to pick a fight with me. Yay! Also, one day in language class, she started staring at me with a smile for 3 seconds, then looked to her right.

After she looked at me for the 3 seconds she continued smiling and looked to her right. Does that mean anything? I am sorry for this, I really want to make sure and not embarrass myself.

Thank you all for your help! If this goes successfully, I may come back and ask what I should get her for an easter present.

Cheers to a great site!

aww this is so cute. and of course she likes you!!! these are all the things girls do when they like a guy! you should definatly make a move on her! best of luck!

i wrote a message to my friend and i erased it and he never read it. is there anyway i can erase it totally so he cant read it or maybe see hat i wrote???????????

you cant do anything else to get rid of it, all you can do is erase it. he might not even no you posted it but it depends if he gets emails everytime someone posts one so he has to accept it or not. if when you posted it it didnt say it is waiting to be accepted or whatever then he most likely wont even no that you posted it. i hope i helped and i hoipe that makes since, if it doesn't just inbox me!

hi im m/14 and i have a few problems that are getting in the way could someone diagnose me with something? i am ALWAYS tired no matter how much i sleep. i have problems getting to sleep but once im asleep ill sleep for as long as i can. i find it extremely difficult to get up in the morning and takes me very long to get up. i always miss breakfast as a result. as well as this, i have cold hands and feet, always thirsty, freqent urination, dry skin and find it hard to put on weight, recently ive been notcing blurred vision and the last few years my grades have been going down quite alot. i find it hard to concentrate in class and i dont really care any more. im always relaxed and slow and only occasionaly im happy. sometimes i get depressed.

well the whole tired thing makes me think that you have mono, i had that in 6th grade, and it was horrible and it takes a long time to get over. but it also could be that you are depressed, but im not sure. if you want to be tested for mono you have you get a blood test, but im not sure about the depression thing, idk how to get that tested. dont be afraid to ask about being depressed because it is a serious issue, and that could be the problem. i hope i helped!
