well i think my friend is just bein too overprotective about me knowing some of her friendsz but shes like no! but i still think so. could that be true and im worng or she is being over protective and not know that she is?
Hello,
It sounds more like she is insecure about you knowing them, not overprotective of them. Just a thought.
Maybe the best thing is to be honest with her and ask her what she is so afraid of?
-- Stay Honest
ok the thing is im very hurt and confused cause mii very best friend, lets call her C, is sayin sumthin dat i think is wrong but i dont understand what she means. if you can figure it out please tell me. "i dont want to share mii friendsz,there like ma identity, and i want to keep ma identity covered." and she said that because i knew 3 of her friends that was her elementary school friendsz that i wanna get to noe or are already really good friendsz with and shes saying that i noe too many of her friendsz. i think thats kinda wrong. do any of you know what shes saying, you noe why she dont want me to know "too many of her friends" which by the way is only about 3. i would really greatly appreciate any advice.
Hello,
Being hurt and confused is natural when your very best friend has other friends that you don't know. It means she is moving away from the friendship that you have with her.
This is not a bad thing. Do you eat the same foods every day? It is the same thing with friends, variety is good for you to have. You need to find friends that she doesn't know, to hang out with when she is not around.
The best thing you can do is be honest and tell her that you are feeling hurt and neglected by her actions. Honestly, if she is keeping them from you on purpose then she looks as though she is being dishonest in some way. You know, 'something to hide'. Maybe she is doing drugs?
Communication is the best thing next to honesty.
We all, you, your friend, her friends and their friend's friends move in and out of people's lives. Some of them may not be in hers in a year or so. Who knows, you may end up not speaking for 20 years and become even closer friends later in life.
The point is - that's the way life goes. Change is constant. Change is unknown and scary to most of us. You would not be human if you didn't want to keep the comfort zone you have. When you do not step outside that comfort zone, though, you miss out on a lot of valuable lessons.
There is one here. Keep your eyes open and you will learn something. Above all, be kind, loyal and honest. That is what a good friend does.
Good luck!

what is a yeast infection??
Hello,
I turned up this info for you. I hope it helps.
A yeast infection, also known as candidiasis (pronounced: can-dih-die-uh-sis), is the name for a common infection caused by a type of yeast-like fungus called candida.
Yeast infections usually occur in warm, moist parts of the body, such as the mouth and moist areas of skin. When they cause an infection in the vagina, it is known as vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Candida can overgrow for many reasons. Stress, pregnancy, and illnesses that affect the immune system may allow yeast to multiply, as can certain medicines. These include some birth control pills and steroids. Or if you're taking antibiotics, such as for strep throat, the antibiotics can kill "good" bacteria that also live in the body and normally keep the growth of candida in the vagina in check. Yeast also can flourish if a girl's blood sugar is high. Girls who have diabetes that isn't controlled are at a higher risk for yeast infections.
Many girls find that yeast infections tend to show up right before they get their periods because of the hormonal changes that come with the menstrual cycle. Clothing (especially underwear) that is too tight or made of materials like nylon that trap heat and moisture might lead to yeast infections because yeast can thrive in this type of environment. And douching and using scented sanitary products can upset the healthy balance of bacteria in the vagina and make yeast infections more likely.
Yeast infections can happen to any girl, and they're not related to having sex — although they occasionally can be spread from one sexual partner to the other. This is quite rare, though, and the partner of someone who has a yeast infection does not automatically have to be treated. Yeast infections that are spread through sex are not considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD). A doctor won't be able to tell how you got a yeast infection, but will be able to tell you if you really have one, and if so, how to treat it.
What Are the Symptoms of a Yeast Infection?
Common signs and symptoms of yeast infections include:
* itching and irritation in the vagina
* redness, swelling, or itching of the vulva (the folds of skin outside the vagina)
* a thick, white discharge that can look like cottage cheese and is usually odorless, although it might smell like bread or yeast
* pain or burning when urinating or during sex
If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor or gynecologist. It's easy to confuse the symptoms of a yeast infection with those of some STDs and other vaginal infections. Your doctor can give you the right diagnosis.
Do Guys Get Yeast Infections?
Obviously, guys don't get vaginal yeast infections. But balanitis (pronounced: bal-uh-nie-tis), an infection of the head of the penis, can be caused by the same candida that causes infections in girls. Guys who have diabetes are more prone to this infection. A guy who gets balanitis may not have any symptoms or the tip of the penis may become red and sore or itchy. Some guys might have a slight discharge as well.
Guys who are not circumcised need to take extra care to clean properly beneath their foreskins. The warm, moist folds of the foreskin are the perfect environment for yeast infections to thrive. Keeping the area clean and dry may help prevent an infection, but if symptoms do show up, a trip to the doctor will solve the problem.
How Can I Prevent Yeast Infections?
What you wear — or don't wear — can help you avoid a yeast infection. Yeast grows best in a warm, moist environment: think wet bathing suits, tight jeans, and stretchy exercise gear. Nylon underwear, pantyhose, and other synthetic materials that trap moisture also make yeast infections more likely.
Some girls may react to certain dyes or perfumes in soaps, bath gels or lotions, sanitary products, and laundry detergents. When the reaction causes irritation, that can set the stage for a yeast infection. Your best bet is to steer clear of perfumed products and to use mild and fragrance-free products when possible.
To help keep your vaginal area dry, try switching to all-cotton underwear and make sure you carefully dry off after you shower. If you can, wear cotton underwear to bed or don't wear any, and always wash and thoroughly dry your underwear before wearing them. Don't lounge around in a wet bathing suit and avoid jeans or pantyhose that are too tight.
Don't take leftover antibiotics or someone else's antibiotics if you think you have an infection. Only take antibiotics when and how they're prescribed for you. And if you have diabetes, make sure you keep your blood sugar levels under control.
Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Treating a yeast infection is simple. But it's still important to visit your doctor for the right diagnosis, since other infections can cause similar symptoms but require different treatments. Your doctor might take a urine sample — to rule out a urinary tract infection — and some discharge from your vagina to examine under a microscope.
If you do have a yeast infection, your doctor will probably prescribe a pill to swallow or a vaginal cream or suppository. When you get home, follow all the directions on the package carefully. A suppository will come with an applicator to help you place the medicine inside your vagina, where it can begin to work.
All of these types of medication can clear up your symptoms in a couple of days and cure the infection within a week. It's important that you take the medicine for the whole time that your doctor prescribes. If you stop taking it too soon, the infection could come back.
The doctor may also prescribe a cream you can apply around the vagina to relieve itching. Some of these creams are available without a prescription in your local drugstore, but you shouldn't just buy a cream if you think you have a yeast infection. It's important to see a doctor for your diagnosis, because if you actually have another type of infection the problem could get worse if it is not properly treated. Also, over-the-counter medicine should not be used by anyone who is under 12 or pregnant.
Yeast infections can be annoying, especially if they happen regularly. To help avoid them, follow your doctor's advice, wear cotton underwear, and try to wear loose-fitting clothes. Your body will thank you.
Hope this helped!

back in janurary i cheated on my boyfriend after i told him i found out that on new years that he jumped out of a window and got a concussion and almost died. i ended up dumping the person i cheated with and went back with my original does that make me a player? i feel so horrible about it everytime i think about it i feel like a monster who doesnt deserve to live how do i deal with this
Hello,
The standard player, or playah, they are often called is someone who has many bf or gf at once. A playah will juggle anywhere from 4 to 10 guys/girls at once. Usually a playah has an ulterior motive like getting money and sex.
You are just a person who cheated on someone you love and now are paying a small price for that little lapse in better judgment.
You deal with it by waking up every morning and continue to learn from your mistake. The guilt will only go away when you let it go.

i dont know what to do... i just feel like my family doesnt car about me at the moment. my mum works night shift as a nurse so she is between working 10PM to 7AM, sleeping in the day and always watches tv in her room. when i ask her to take me somewhere she says
"i cant im working" or "ill think about it" or "im not up to it" theres always an excuse.
my sister lives in a granny flat out the back of my house and is never home and my other sister who im closer to stays at her bf's house all the time and is never home. like i dont see her all week and soon she is going away for work for 3 months and i feel like she is leaving me behind and when she used to be home more she was the only one who seemed to care and got me though when things where shit at school.
i just feel like no one is there for me and sometimes i dont feel like eating and that no one would care if i wasnt even there. lately iv been thinking about physically hurting myself so theyd notice and i dont know why.
i havent talked to friends at school cos i know they wouldnt understand.
i just feel alone and lost and i hate being left by myself at home all the time. what should i do? i need someone to talk to.

Hello,
The other advice you got was good.
Hurting yourself is bad. Very bad. It doesn't change anyone but you. Once the excitement you cause is gone everyone goes back to normal and you stay locked up in the hospital on suicide watch.
The best thing you can do is go right to your mom and tell her you want to get a car so that you will not need to be driven around by anyone. If she says no, then tell her you are getting a job and buying your own. Then go to all the places within walking distance of you and apply for jobs.
Are you the youngest? She is tired of working and tired of raising kids. You are almost old enough to move out on your own. Sounds to me like she is just waiting for that to happen.
Tell her that you don't feel like she loves you. Tell her that Dr. Laura would call her bad mother for not pouring every moment of her free time into taking care of her daughter. Tell her that you want more time with her.
Stop asking her to take you places. Be fair to her. She works hard to make ends meet. She needs to keep food, in a house so you have a full stomach and dry feet. Don't take what you do have for granted. There are a few people I know that would love to have the freedom you have. A house all to yourself. I could cook all day!

I will have been with my boyfriend for 3 years come early July. I love him a lot and he claims to feel the same. Things in his life have been pretty rough lately, so sometimes he's depressed.
I have begun to notice that the only time he is happy, smiling, or laughing is when he is with his friends. I can't even remember the last time he was happy to be just with me. This really concerns me, as I feel it's kinda important to make him happy since I'm his girlfriend.
I'm always wondering if he would just be happy with someone else and if I should move on. I don't want to lose him, but I love him enough to let him go if I can't make him happy like he needs to be.
I know that I need to talk to him and I'm the only one that can fix this, but I need help on what to say. I need help understanding why he does the things he does. A guy's perspective would be really helpful right now.
These are just some of the strange things he's been doing lately:
-Earlier this week we went out with a big group of friends. He ignored me the entire time. He didn't hold my hand, put his arm around me, or even speak to me. He didn't even offer to pay for me (which is unusual for him). He was occupied with his friend and this girl the whole time. I confronted him about it and he said he just didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. (So apparently he doesn't care if I'm uncomfortable?)
-He turned 21 in January, but he never drinks. Never. But today his friend asked him to go to the bar with him, so he broke plans with me to go hang out with his friend. He had a good reason to go spend time with his friend (he's moving out of state), but he didn't invite me to hang out afterward. Not to mention the fact that he never goes to bars (his friend likes bars, but they have never gone together). Why would he want to hang out there all of a sudden?
-If he ever comes over to spend the night with me after an evening of hanging out, he just wants to go right to bed. But if I give the slightest hint that I want to have sex, all of a sudden he's awake. This makes me feel like the only quality time he wants to spend with me alone is if we're having sex. I'm thinking about stopping the sex altogether until things get better.
I'm just at a loss of how to fix this. Normally, if these things happened individually, I wouldn't give this stuff a second thought. But since it's all happen within a few days of each other, it's really starting to get to me. Suggestions?
Hello,
Sorry to hear of your troubles. Nagging or confronting him about what's going on with him will only make him run to his friends or worse, the other girl.
From what you describe, he enjoys spending his time with other people and not the time he spends with you. He was not holding your hand and being your boyfriend to seem available to the other girl. That is not uncommon of men who are on the search or on the move.
From your question it sounds to me as if he has already spent time alone with this girl and is probably not happy with you anymore.
To keep a man from wondering off you need to make him feel needed and wanted and happy. Happy men do not start acting funny. Only unhappy men start acting differently when they become unhappy.
Immediately get a book called the Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. Read it and apply it to your relationship. The most important thing is that you are honest about how you feel. Honest with yourself and everyone around you.
Good Luck!

I have acne on my shoulders and my back.
Not serious but i mean visable.

Hello,
OK, using topical medications only masks the problem, like pharmaceuticals. Keep the acne from ever coming back by following this advice-
google search 'diet for your type' it is a book that will tell you the foods you are eating that are causing the acne.
Stop eating the food, top getting acne. Worked for me, it will work for you too.

is weed actually bad for you? if you only do it occasionaly, like every other weekend or something.
Hello,
The advice you have been given by everyone is good.
'Weed' comes in many different strains. There are the kinds that knock you out {Indica) and then there are the kinds that help you think more clearly (Citeva). Medically speaking, for some things it is healthier than pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, everyone is different has different reactions to things.
I have known people with all kinds of stories, good and bad. The bottom line is everything in moderation, otherwise it becomes an addiction.
Weekend smoking could lead to further use, if you are not careful, it is habit forming. Stay responsible and don't let it control your life. That is when it is bad for you.

okay well me and this girl named cori used to be
bestfriends. then i started realizing her and my
old bestfriend [ally] were becoming closer and closer. so
me and cori started getting in more and more fights. so i started losing cori and ally. now my
other friend chelsea has her head up coris ass all the damn time. so if coris mad at me all my "friends" are mad at me. okay well then i started feeling like everyone was hanging out with cori and i was just getting used and noone really liked me. so i started hanging out with this girl and her name is ashlyn. and she has helped me with alot. but i started liking her older brother.
so i found myself going to ashlyns house every weekend. me and ashlyns brother made out a couple times. but it got to this point where i went to school and i was messing with my other old friend
and his name is daniel. i told daniel i had sex with him just too see what he would say. big mistake affter i said i didnt. [and i did not have sex with him] he was like right. and no lie
the entire 8th grade knew. oh and cori my "old bestfriend" dated him. so i knew i was already about to get in this huge fight with her and everyone else that was stuck up her ass. so i didnt know how to tell everyone that knew that i was just kidding about that sex thing. it was a lie. but i couldnt do it. i told everyone it was true. not thinking about cori and ashlyns brothers
former realtionship. now i also broke up with my amazing boyfriend taylor. for austin. later realizing that was a HUGE mistake. he went to a different school SMS. and i would later on be seeing everyone from sms at shs when we all go to that highschool. well i was thinking that it would just wear off. people wouldnt care over summer but the guy i used to be in love with alex . just called me and said he never wanted to talk to me ever again. and he was being 100% serious. it hurt me like crazy. because right before that taylors other sms friends called me and was basically saying i was a hoe. and i was the worst thing on the planet. now this is where im at in this story - everyone hating me completely that i have to go to school with next year, something amazing [taylor] gone and there is
no way he would give me another chance, my friends from my school hating me, and that other guy [ashlyns brother] treating me like shit. after ashlyns brother was thee one that convinced me to break up with taylor. so right now i have no
clue what i want and need too do. we only have 2 more weeks of school. but there are so many things
we are all doing as the entire 8th grade. that i feel like ill be all alone. like the outcast during all of these activities. i used to be really popular [not to brag, trying to make a point] and its amazing how fast it went. it was cool to be popular and everyone liking you. but just to help you guys out dont make mistakes like i did. i hope you can help me get through this. cause im a wreck. and i need to apologize to
everyone i hurt i just dont know how. /= well thanks in advance!
and im sorry guys for how long it is.
but actually living through this is getting
more and more complicated i just need to end
this as fast as i can. and the best way to end it!
thanks again guys. you guys are lifesavers!
Take a deeeeep breath. Now Hold it.
Ok now, let it out slooooooowly...
Everything is going to be OK.

So I'm a bi guy and I like this one guy, is straight, but he just might be curious. He is so HOT but I can't tell if he likes me or not. So I heard from a really good friend and source (Luis) that told me that the guy I like (Stefano) his best friend was curious about being gay the first semester of school, and now, this semester (the second semester of school) Stefano's best friend (Dave)got Stefano to be curious about being bi this semester. Luis also told me that Stefano and Dave have been expirementing with each other and that they are doing it with each other. At first I was in denial and I didn't want to believe it but I realized that Stefano and Dave cry (like actually cry with tears) for each other and that when ever one of them spends the night at the other's house, the next morning the are both sore from their butts. So I'm not sure if they are curious and expirementing with each other or not, but I really like Stefano and I don't know what to do about it. Can anyone give me advice? Please?
How are your grades?
I know it's difficult to retain focus when your body is screaming out to do other things. This is going to go on for a while until after you get out of school, so get used to it. Control is something you're supposed to learn now when your mistakes don't cost you too dearly so be sure to work on it.
Keep in mind that your brain is in flux right now and that anything you focus on will become more intense as you get more and more into it. At your age it's supposed to be education and discipline.
Would you like to be a slave to your body or would you prefer a lifetime of pleasures? The choices you make now will define your life.
Always try to take a step back, take a deep breath, let it out slow and look the situation over a bit more slowly than you'd like to. You'll really appreciate the results.

So everything was going normally i had friends loved school etc.
then i got into a fight with this girl and we are no longer firends. this girl was in my clique. wtvr i figured nothing would change and that i wounlt talk to this girl just be firends with my other friends. i get to school and like no one has done things to be in the catogory of "mean" but i feel negative vibes from people and i know my vibes are real. like my friends are all nice but i feel kind of this awkward tension like i need to start covnersation. this girl who i am no longer friens with is not the type to tell people not to talk to me (i told ppl not to talkt o her though bc shes a bi***) one of my best friends recently got really with this other girl. and there really IN YOUR FACE and EXCLUSIVE. i feel like tension and an awkward vibe.
why and what can i do? like i thinks it skind of gay to tell my firend becasue maybe im being sncitive but thats really not me. or maybe its because of me and htis girl not being firens i feel liek im loosing more?? idk!! help. thanks u
Hello,
Not sure about why the fight happened, but seems to me that this click of friends is not sure who to be friends with.
Maybe you are getting negative vibes from them because you have told people not to talk to her, and she has not tried to manipulate them in that way.
There is always an awkward moment after a fight between friends. If you are really friends, then you will apologize to one another and move on with your life.
The hard way to fix this is to be honest and admit mistakes and say your sorry to everyone, the girl you fight with and the friends caught in the middle.
OR the easy way is to just go find new friends.
By the way, is your homework done?

Later edited after rated a 4 by 'people'.
This is good advice. You should be focusing on schoolwork or homework instead of petty differences with others.
What homework? You asked when you rated this advice. Was that all that you got out of this advice? Sad, so very sad!
The homework you should be doing doesn't have to be assigned by anyone. I can clearly see from your spelling mistakes and grammar usage that you NEED to spend more time studying, even if it isn't assigned to you. I hope that you take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and realize that you have the potential to be smart and successful, if you apply yourself to improving your knowledge of things. Otherwise, my advice here is wasted.
Thank you for your second question. If you need anything else, please ask.

I just got my bettas 3 days ago and they realy never fought. They're both females. One of my bettas is perfectly happy but the other (Marley) hovers at the top of the tank and usually doesn't eat much. Its tail and fins are clenched togetherand whenever the other fish comes near her, she darrts crazily in the opposite direction. What could be wrong with her?
Hello,
The fins being pulled into the body is a clear sign of submission and stress. The other Betta is older and dominant. The younger, submissive female will die from stress and lack of food, or finally be too weak to run away anymore and be killed by the dominant one.
Separate them immediately and you should see a healthy happy Betta very soon.

So my bfs ex and him had anal...like 2 times....after about 2 years of dating i said what the heck i might as well try it, i can't say it hurt, but it was sore after and i feel very unconfortable, like it shouldnt of been happening. It just didnt feel right. Well the point is he likes it and wants to do it again, and i keep saying no but once in a while he still asks. I know it can be dangerous but he doesnt beleive me. How do I make it clear to him that it will never happen again, and how can i persuade him into realising that even though it feels great for him, its not safe for me. Any resources or ideas of what i can tell him, please help. Thank You
Hello,
I'll say this now and again a bit later... be upfront and honest with him and he'll respect your decision. But first...
What type of lubricant did you use? With the right lubrication and time it shouldn't be uncomfortable at all. In fact, it should feel great when done right by both partners.
Communication is important. Take it slow at first and have him stop and allow yourself time to stretch a bit. If it feels dry and scratchy, ask him to apply more lubricant. If you're not getting messy, you're not doing it right. (keep a few towels handy)
Shop around though... Some lubricants become sticky after a few minutes and that is definitely not what you want. Ask the clerk at the adult store, they can be quite informative regarding different products. If you want the best information, be honest about what you want and any specific concerns you may have. There's no need to be embarrassed. :)
Try using a silicone toy, or a dildo, in your vagina while he is in your rectum. Do not forget to play with you clitoris as well.
It is very important that you do not insert anything into your vagina after it has been inserted in the rectum. Wash it first with a strong anti bacterial soap.
Talk to your man and tell him you want to try it this way to give it one more shot. Tell him that you need him to be very slow and careful with you.
If this is still painful and uncomfortable for you then discontinue doing it.
Just be sure to be honest and up front with him so if it really doesn't work for you, tell him flat out and get it over with.
Either way he should respect your decision.
Hi, im 18 and just got a job as a bank teller...many people think its a great job. BUT I REALLY DON"T LIKE IT. I want to work with kids for my future (social work, daycare, teacher etc) I use to have a job as a receptionist that i loved but it was an hour away and my boyfriend always drove me there and picked me up, so when I got this job that is seconds away from my house i got it. my boyfriend kept on pushing for me to get another job and i understand, gas prices went up and it was a hassel for him to always have to take me. I'm not blaming my job on him but I don't know what else to do. If i just stay there until im done school I can have what i want but i feel miserable and sad going there and I only started 2 dasy ago. I'm just afraid that im going to be so Mad at my job that im going to take it out on my boyfriend and thast the last thing i want to do cause I love him so much and I know we are going to have a future together. Im not really sure what Im trying to ask but I just want a point of view on my situation. I just feel so confused!
Hello,
It is always a hassle to get rides from other people. Solve that by getting your own car. I suggest staying at the bank long enough to save enough money to buy a car for like $500.00 at an auto auction.
When tow companies tow vehicles, they are kept in a yard until the owner gets it out. If the owner does not come for the vehicle, the tow company can sell it at auction.
You can often find a great deal for a good price. Look for the ads that say police impounds and seized vehicles, or find a local tow company that holds auctions. Make yourself familiar with the auction process and view the cars before you buy one. Take a mechanic with you to look at the car too.
Do not blame anyone for the job you have. It is you who decided to take it. While you are saving for the car, start correspondence with companies you want to work for. That way when you quit the bank job, another one, the one you want is waiting for you.
Personally, you can expect to be unhappy at any job you have if your attitude sucks all the time. Start waking up and smiling at yourself in the mirror. Make sure your smile is the first face you see in the morning. Stay in a good mood all day, no matter what. Your headache does not matter to me, or the next person. Your attitude does though. If your attitude reflects how you really feel, people pick up on that, good and bad. In customer service you need to keep complete check on your attitude.
The bottom line is that the skills you are learning are very important skills to have. The face paced environment is good for you. Dealing with all different kinds of people is extremely good for you.
Your work history is important too. Stay there until you have something else and then give two weeks notice. List reason for leaving as career change.
You have only been there 2 days. Give it 6 months, get to know the job before you judge how likable it is or isn't.
To make extra money, put up fliers and ads for babysitting on your days off. Everything you do to professionally build your skill portfolio is only going to make you more valuable to the right company or people. Who knows, you may learn everything you need to know at the bank about loans then someday use that information to get the best rate around for your own daycare.
Everything you do will come around full circle. You will see.....someday!
The most important thing is to be honest to yourself and everyone you have contact with the rest of your life. Keep up the good work!
Good luck!

i usually get very gudd grades in school, but i dont really get why i dont get as high grades as some of my friends, who do all their homework and pay attention and study but dont participate much. for me, i participate a lot more than them, i do most but not all my homework, and i pay attention and never not pay attention, i dont study alot, but i do study a little(lol not more than 15 minutes 4 any test/ quiz) and i get higher grades than my friends that do study (most of the time, except 4 once or twice), and yea my teachers luv me. but i dont get why i get lower grades than some of my friends and i want to know how 2 improve. thankx plzz answer.
You're very smart and it shows in how little you need to study before tests.
School grading systems use homework as a measure though. So to get those higher grades, make sure you turn in every assignment complete and on-time. (My own grades suffered throughout high-school because I never did homework myself. I'd usually ace the tests with 10-15 minutes of studying like yourself. Homework always seemed like a drag.)
Here's a tip.
Figure out what each teacher bases their 'grades' on and make sure that you supply it. You pick up the material quicker than anyone around you, use that extra class time to study your teachers a bit.

so im doing a science experiment on a mouse maze
I would really like to know some research sites i could look at because i really cant find anything so if you could help out with that i would be thankful
plus I also need to know what i could use to build the maze..my friend morgan said that i should use dominos...I really dont think so ...what else could I use
Excellent idea, mouse mazes are always a good project. It is important that walls are high enough that it doesn't try to climb over them.
Do some tests using a cardboard maze, just a small section of the main maze, before you build your final project. You'll be very glad for the experience and your final maze will be much better for it.
The easiest material I can think of that you could use would be Balsa Wood. It is very easy to cut with a razor blade or X-acto knife and is quite sturdy.
You can find good selections at local hobby shops or online. If you purchase from online, I would recommend going to a hobby shop first and making sure the thickness and size of the wood you're going to order are correct.
You'll need a solid piece of wood for the backboard. You may possibly find a piece of plastic material that will work as well; make sure whatever epoxy/glue you use sticks to it.
The balsa wood is very light and soft but surprisingly strong. It's still possible to crush it so be careful. :)
Good luck!

p.s. Don't forget a sheet of 200 and a sheet of 400 grit sandpaper. Shape the wood with the 200 and smooth it with the 400. It'll look great. :)
well im the definition of "loner" i only have about 3 or 4 friends in this whole world. my boyfriend used to be my best friend, but he cant be my friend anymore because everything has changed since we started dating. im really happy with him, but i miss our friendship. i have another close friend, Nona, but she has so many friends besides me and shes always busy so im left alone. My boyfriend lives 20 minutes away and im not driving yet, so we only see eachother on fridays. and my other 1 or 2 friends i only talk to every now and again. like maybe once or twice a month. so they are more aquantince(sp) then anything. i always say that im happy where i am because i dont like being surrounded by people because im uptaining closterphobia(sp). but i just want a few more friends that i can talk to and hang out with and stuff. im fixing to try to get a lifeguard job, and that should add to my friend status, but im really shy. and i never start conversations. and see, all the time when i try to get friends? we become friends and then i get excited and just annoy them to death without even knowing it. or i do something wrong and they dump me. im just confused and lonely and bored and im already out of school so i have NOTHING to suck up the time with! and the lifeguard classes dont start until june...and i have nothing to do till then. any advice on how to get friends??
Hey You! :) Smile cause life is great, even though it can seem overwhelming at times.
Hang off on going for friends right now and take some time to focus on yourself. You might also want to re-think the lifeguard situation. You said you had a bunch of time, right?
You'll find that by taking a step back and thinking things through a bit more, you'll get much better results.
Your life has changed recently. Find something you really want to learn more about, a subject that interests you that you can also do by yourself. Rockets, lipsticks, nanotech, whatever interests you (as long as it doesn't involve writing/reading romance novels). Writing/Reading Science fiction and comedy is good. :)
Based on your description of conversation and luck with friends I'd recommend the following link on a syndrome called Asperger's.
http://www.aane.org/about_asperger_syndrome/asperger_fact_sheet.html
Whether the link is for you or not you'll have a better idea of how to look at yourself. The key is to look into exactly how your brain works for you and how it is different from how everyone else thinks.
Once you understand yourself, life will become much easier to plan and deal with. :)

People become much easier to deal with and a huge amount of background anxiety will go away.
As you become more comfortable with yourself you'll become more comfortable with others and you'll definitely find more people that will be interested in being your friend.
Okay so I am at the age of 17. I will be 18 in December of this year. When I went into my check up my doctor didn’t' really to a physical and check everything aka my breasts, baby maker, that kind of stuff,
Question a)
What is the normal age for your first physical?
Question b)
What kind of stuff do they check on and/or for?
Question C)
Should I be worrying that I haven't gotten a physical yet?
You're ok.
a) At birth and each year after that
b) Proper function of eyes, nose throat, ears, legs, arms, heart, lungs and other parts of the muscle, skeletal and cardiovascular systems.
c) If it's been over a year since your last physical, you're overdue.
A checkup is not the same thing as a physical. A checkup is just a brief look over for obvious signs of illness.
What you're thinking of is a gynecological exam. This would be done by your Gynecologist, not your regular doctor.
Checking your breasts should be done every day in the shower. It only takes a minute and there are various sites online that explain the proper techniques.
Have your parents get a referral from your doctor for a gynecologist and schedule an appointment to check your babymaker.
Congratulations on making it to 17! Happy Birthday in DECEMBER

p.s. this is a question you really should have asked your parents or your doctor. Don't be afraid to speak up when something doesn't feel right to you. :)
what is the key to getting a boyfriend, and staying with him?
some might say confidence, others may say loyalty, and other important traits such as that, but im wondering, what worked for you in the past? was it just chance that brought you together or did you work on attracting a certain person by displaying confidence or whatever.
im wondering this because i havent gone out with anyone since 2 years ago, guys just dont seem interested.
thanks!
You're not "everyone else" so get off that train and walk your own path.
The key to getting a boyfriend is to stop looking for a man in your life and work on YOURSELF. Improve your own skills and work to gain new skills each year. Be honest with yourself and everyone around you. When you least expect it, you'll run into someone that just clicks for you and it'll be the same for them. If you're working on yourself, most likely they're going to be doing the same and that's a recipe for a great relationship.
That's how you get a boyfriend.
Now if you want to keep him, be completely honest with yourself and everyone around you and get a book called "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands". Do a search, you'll find it.
Chance meeting or displaying confidence? Let me just say that nearly every relationship I've watched end in disaster started with a pursuit.
Do something that will make you feel good about yourself and that you'll benefit from for a lifetime. Donate blood and when you do, find out what your blood type is. Go purchase or check out that book "Diet for your Type" and at the very least, cut out the foods on your 'Bad' list.
Above all, have fun and be honest.

(p.s. don't date men you meet in bars. Get a dog and go to the dog park, join clubs that have activities you're interested in or get involved in a cause that has meaning for you.)
