Q: Am I the only one alive who thinks it's terrible that kids (13-16) are having sex? I'm only 18, but when I was 13, I was riding my bike and doing karate, not giving blowjobs on the school bus. But thats the norm now, and if you haven't had sex by the time you're 17, you must be ugly or way religeous. What on earth!? Am I the only one disgusted by this trend?
im totally with you on this one. im thirteen and all the boys want out of a relationship is sex. theres no more men that open the door for you or anything like that. and i think there influenced by all the rap music and videos considering 9/10 are about getting into a girls pants

Q: I have a question about what to wear with skirts. I am very new to this. I haven't worn a skirt by choice before. I was thinkin of wearing one to school for the first time, because my boyfriend has only seen me in pants since we have been dating haha (11 months) and i have decided to wear a skirt for him. My question now is what kind've shoes would you wear, like i find it weird to wear boots with a skirt or running shoes with a skirt, could ya help me out? Also any other advice for wearing skirts. Wow, im very embarassed... haha
it really depends on what type of skirt your going to wear. skirts are about accentuating the legs.
ive provided some do's,donts,and the ones you need to be careful with.

DO WEAR:
-flats *i recommend flats with leggings &a skirt
-heels
-platform shoes
-flip flops [depends on where you live]
-uggs
-wedge sandals
-kitten heals [usually a rather delicate style of shoe, so they can work very well with short skirts. Thongs, slides, and strappy sandals with a small, low heel help accentuate the "leggy" look you hope for with a mini skirt.]

BE CAREFUL WITH;

-ankle boots - they make womens legs look bulky
-stiletto heels - might be too sexy with a mini
-High Heeled Pumps - the shoes are a little heavy looking

DONT WEAR;
-Oxfords
-Bulky Shoes
-Cross-Trainers
-Clogs
-Socks

as for the whole skirt part choose one that your comfortable in. it sucks when you have to go a day of school in something really uncomfortable. try walking in the outfit the night before to get used to it. be careful not to fall and have fun!




Q: Hey my name is Rachel strickland and iam 17 years old and in the 11th grade at my highschool and for some reason i have these crying spells all the time like at least once a week and i've been taking lots of naps lately and i havn't been eating as much as i use to.
This has been going on ever since my dad died 5 years ago and i wondered if that could have anything to do with it.I've tried looking at photos and i've tried remembering the good time like my mom told me to do but that just makes me want to cry more.my dad and i have always been really close even though my parents divorced when i was 3 we was still close.
my mom just dosn't understand how i feel whenever i feel sad i go and take a nap or a bubble bath to relaz bur i arill am sad.The other day i was so depresed i didn't go to school becouse i knew if anybody sad one thing to me i would burst into tears so my mom let me stay home.
my blood pressure has also been really high the last time i had it chceked it was 150/86.
I also have panick attacks when i get really upset.
what should i do?
im thinking either depression or post trauma disorder. go see a therapist or talk to someone. it will really help. trust me

Q: Does anyone have any tips on how to stop cutting?
i used to and now im working on stopping. but ive tryed so many different tricks and stuff. its really hard. and this has to be my eleventh time trying to stop. im going cold turkey but these are some other things that help


1.) (common) rubber band on arm stap it when you get urges

2.) take a stopwatch. time 15 minutes and in that time go against it and dont cut when times up if you still want to then set another 15 and keep doing it.

3.) playdough.haa sounds really wierd huh? well it really does get your mind off of everything - this girl had it and when she'd get mad she would smush it up - really seemed to work

4.) take a orange[apples prob work too] put it in the freezer. when you want to cut take it out and hold it and try smushing it and stuff. it works because it distracts you

5.) the marker trick if your one of those people that needs to see blood draw on yourself with red marker[ i honestly didnt see it that effective but other people did ]

6.) draw a picture or take a poloroid and a red marker draw on it what you want to do to yourself

7.) writing letters to people that your angry with (or yourself) and never give it to them

8.) [my favorite and most effective for me] writing poetry about cutting ; it really worked and instead of doing it to myself i was writing about it and how it feels trying to stop or how it feels right after you did it.

i really dont know why you cut or any backround to it but if these tricks/tips didnt work then drop one in my inbox or im me at loserfacee9o3

Q: here lately i have gotten into cutting myself. bad. i mean i dont go deep or anything. i just pretty much break the skin. but its gotten bad. like its all i think about. i started saturday and i was like i wont do it anymore. well i did it again last night and then 3 times today. how can i stop? ive told 2 of my friends and they tell me i need to stop, which i know. but its hard. help me? please dont tell me to get counseling, cuz i cant tell my dad and i cant go.
same thing is/has gone on with me. its quite the addiction if you ask me. its really up to you on how far is to far and im glad that your trying to stop. okay in the hospital i learned alot of different methods to stop. but in advance it doesnt go away over night and you do just have to wait it out and eventually you will stop

Q: Ive been cutting for about a year and i just got found out about a month ago. Im kinda happy to be out in the open about it and everything but i told my best friend and she didnt even care. She actually started to tell everyone shes an alcoholic when in reality shes acting drunk for the attention and now shes hurt that i dont care about her problem.. Its completly made up.. why should i care if shes doing it for attention everything she does is to start stuff and i really dont want to just ditch her cuz shes my best friend but i have no idea what to do anymore
i didnt really get what you meant by 'Ive been cutting for about a year and i just got found out about a month ago.' -- if you were cutting for a year then how didnt you know until about a month ago? but aside from that..

shes not your best friend if she didnt care. your best friend would go into action and depending on what type of person she is she would have done one of two things either a) gone and tryed to get you help/ talking to an adult or counselor or b)talked to you and tryed to help you by her self.

im glad that your open about everything.. thats the way i am too. ive been cutting for three-ish years. it leads to nothing good believe me. mental hospitals, lack of trust, getting made fun of & not being able to wear certain clothes. it sucks

talk to her, ask her why shes doing that for attention tell her to knock it off or you wont hang out with her anymore if its really bothering you. shes going to get negative attention for it and you dont want to be around when that happens. she thinks that lieing is a good thing but it wont turn out good in the long wrong.

she wants people to feel bad for her. ive had friends like this before. it ends in everyone pointing and laughing at her instead of what she thinks is going to happen. shes just doing it so that she doesnt have to deal with your problem. she wants more attention then she thinks that you will be getting.

hope this helped and if it didnt then drop one in my inbox ♥

this way works for me and everyone else i tell EVERYTIME

you need; a cup of water/bottled water [doesnt matter] and one paper towel

put the paper towel over the top of the cup or bottle and drink the water.. i know it sounds wierd and tastes odd but it works

toothbrush

2. take vaseline with your finger and put it on your lips

3. brush your lips with the toothbrush

Q: considered a slut if she has sex on the first date?
different people have different opinions..i also think it depends on where you live.. if you live in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone else then yes probably everyone will have the same opinion and say yea -- and if you really love that person then it doesnt make you a slut

Q: 14/f Ok, so for Halloween I'm going as a sexy kitty: black lacy tank top, denim mini skirt, and black knee high boots (they're comfy, but look really cool=] ) with a cat tail and cat ears. so I have a question: should I do any face makeup? (black nose and whiskers) I don't want to look like a little girl, but i want it to look cat-ish. also, if i should, what should i use? thank you!
i would just do like eye shadow and eeyeliner these girls at my school dressed up as cats and they put pink and glittery eyeshadow on and black eyeliner and i wouldnt go all out and put on a nose but also for there hair they put it in two french braids

Q: im going to six flags/hurricane harbor on friday in chicago. its going to be hot out so im planning on wearing my swimming suit, but i was just wondering what to wear over that..i was thinking soffees? but idk, ive never been there before. also, do you wear flip flops or tennis shoes to a place like that? thanks in advance for everything!
you should deffinitaley wear a bathingsuit and wear flipflops and just in case i would bring a bag like a drawstring bag and bring a towel sunblock even if its not sunny a change of clothes & id wear sneakers nd bring flipflops with me -- over that you should just wear a t-shirt & like sport shorts

Q: hey does anyone know what that song by evanessence call me when your sober means?
it means like okay say your boyfriend is an acohalic sorry about my spelling well she doesnt want to put up with his shit with spending and using so she wants him to wait until hes sober and not drunk and until then shes pretty much ignoring him ♥

Q: Ok. this year I am trying to be friends with everyone. there is this one girl i had a crush on 7 years ago and when everyone found out they made fun of her. Part of my conscience says she hates me now. I would like to start over just as friends, but, she's avoiding me and I am too nervous to talk to her.
What should I do?
I will give you five stars if you try.
she is probably just embarrased about her past and everything try starting off small a little hi here or there and work your way up

Q: I want to make an animated picture for my default myspace picture. I've seen other people with animated pictures as their default and I thought it was cool, but how do I do it? Is there a program I can download legally and without getting any viruses?

Q: Heyy y'all :D

I'll get right to it -
lets say there was a list of 10000 different classes you could take, everything from cooking to selfdefense, what class would you take? ölike, what would you actually ENJOY doing (not like math and physics haha) what seminar would you willingly go to, to hear about a class..

so basically, if you could invent a class that doesn't exist what would it be?
or have you ever been to some kind of class that you would love to go to again or even have as a real class in school??
a class on fashion designing

2. honestly i would deff. say no it didnt help i got in way more trouble after seeing her and the thing is i didnt tell her nearly even close to what was going on

3. i went to a hospital and through there they made me go i hated it

4. she/he will like talk to your parents and sent up appointments and some will have your parents and some prob wont.. for me i had my mom in there once and i freaked out and couldnt stand being in my moms prescence anymore and refused to talk to the therapist for like two appointments..
