Q: my dog got run over by a car. my mom is on a business trip. should i tell her before she comes home or should i just stage his death?

You need to tell her. Don't stress yourself out by making it more difficult than it is. I'm sure she can handle it.

Q: okay so me and this guy met over the net and Ireally really really like him and he really really really likes me too but the problem is tht we live in two wayyy different places and we both want to meet up somewere when were older but the problem is how do I know its really that guy talking to me and not a poser or something?

please reply.

You really can't know if he is real or a fake. There are so many scandals out there, that you can never know for sure. Be careful. I wouldn't suggest dating him or anything, because it would stink to have a boyfriend that you never got to see or hug or kiss. I'm not saying don't talk to him, but I am saying be careful.

Q: My cousin is 12 and is half a foot taller than me. Most people at school are taller than me, but I never seemed to mind or pay attention to it until my cousin moved into the state. I am 14 and am 5 foot. Am I short or is everyone else just tall? Please be honest!

That is kind of short. But, you may not even be completely done growing yet, depending on how early you developed. I'm also short, and it really isn't all that bad. Look at the bright side, you can date boys that are any height and you never have to worry about being taller than them. :]

Q: My friend (17) and I (17) want to go to get birth control. I have been reading on here and on plannedparenthood.com about the different kinds and the exam and all that good stuff. But I have found contradictory statements. How much money should my friend and I bring each for the total amount?

There is no certain price on birth control. There also is not just one type. Prices will vary, sometimes by large amounts. I would suggest calling the doctor you are planning on seeing, or a local geynocologist office and ask.

Q: i seem to not be able to keep a bf for longer then a dayy to one week

Well, it could have to do with your age. At certain ages, it's hard to keep a relationship going. It may not be that you are doing something wrong. Maybe the guys that you date just aren't right for you. I would suggest slowing down how much you date. Just wait for someone you really like, and then develop a friendship before possibly pursuing a relationship with this person. There are many possibilities for why relationships don't last for you, but don't be upset about it. I promise the right guy is out there for you.

Q: I know a lot of people are probably asking this question but i am so clueless. I need a halloween idea for me adn a couple of my friends. please help as soon as you can.
thanks so much,
:]

Be the Spice Girls. That would be cute if you have 5 people. Or you could be a decade: 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s.

Q: my computer like turns itself off if i'm not on there for like 20 minutes and it's annoying me because my away message comes down and people IM me an i dont even know it. Does anyone know how i can make my computer stay on longer?

Ps. I've tried goin to properties and changing it but it doesn't work. And also thanks in advance!♥

I used to have that problem. I went to properties and changed the screen saver to come on after 9999 minutes. So it doesn't come on, and hibernate doesn't come on. Try that.

Q: okk...so i'm a Christian and i know the Bible says not to like go out with the same sex..and stuff but i like another girl and i don't know how this happened!!!! Soo..I'm not a lesbian i only like one girl am I gonna go to hell or anything??

The fact that homosexuality is a sin was written in the Old Testament, which most people know is overruled by the New. But, it says in the NEW Testament that homosexuality is a sin, so it must be so. It says to stay away from certain things, and that is one of them. If you date someone of the same sex, you are sinning against God. We all sin, but if you live a life of sin, then God will judge you accordingly. It's either God or homosexuality. Not both.

Q: i got a layout from whateverlife.. its one of them small layouts [from the 'quote' page with like 43 layouts']. well i put it on there and i love it but it took off my top 8 and i want it back! i know a little about HTML so i looked at the code to see if there was a code on there that took it off but if there was i didnt recognize it. some of the layouts on that page had the top 8 and some didnt but i couldnt tell on mine because the preview picture didnt show that far down. how can i get it back without messin up the layout?

Since you can't find the code, I would suggest looking through the layout and finding the parts that actually are html (most is CSS) and play around with things. Copy something, then erase it, then save it and go to your page, and if it didn't work, go back and paste the code back in and try another. That's usually what I do when I can't figure something out.

Q: 16/f. my religion tells us not to have sex until we are married, and i plan on sticking to that. im possibly going to a get a boyfriend soon though, and i dont know how to tell him that im waiting. what are some excuses of why i cant have sex with him besides my religion and i dont want to?

You shouldn't date someone that doesn't have the same belief as you do. Trust me, if you date someone that doesn't respect that, then he will end up pressuring you to do something you don't want to do. Trust me, it's easier for someone to pull you down than for you to pull them up. Anyway, you don't need other excuses. Your values and beliefs should mean more than anything in a relationship. Don't give up what you believe for anyone.

Q: okay im 13 and so are my 2 friends. and we`re girls haha. and we have no idea what to be.. what are some creative, tteenish cheapish costumes ? THANKS! =]

My friend and I are going to be 80's girls. We figured out our costumes yesterday and it's really fun. Plus, you get to do your make-up crazy. Not many people would think to do it. It's cute, original, and cheap. All you would really need to buy is Leg warmers and leggings. Then you can find other things to put together. Go here for an idea. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/x3KaTiELyNn/BFF/2.jpg

Q: In the Notebook when they have sex when they are older, is Allie a virgin still? Noahs not though right?

In the movie, Allie is still a virgin, but Noah isn't. If you listen she says "So that's what I've been waiting for all these years?" But I think in the book, they're both virgins. Books and movies always contradict each other.

Q: does anyone know to any good sites to go to when your bored

i know i-am-bored.com and bored.com but thats it

keep it PG rated please

www.addictinggames.com :]

Q: Right, I am not going to give their names for obvious reasons :)
so let's Call Them A B C D E
A is the girl i love, she doesn't want a relationship though i think she's likes me.
B is the girl who is one of my best mates, who really really loves me.
C is a girl who i liked, but then eventually got over, and it turn out now she likes me.
D is first proper girlfriend, who liked me but is now checking someone else, howver, she still says she's in love.
E is a girl I met when out, she likes me, but i don't feel anything for her.

What should I do, because this is messed up ?
Help!

C- Don't put yourself through that again, because it's hard to get over someone the first time, but the second time is even harder.

D- It sounds like that one is over.

E- Be friends with her, but if you're not interested in her, you definitely shouldn't date her.

As for A and B..

A- If you really love her, she is worth the wait.

B- You can't make yourself like someone. Don't hurt her. Just stay good friends.

In the long run, it's up to you. Listen to your heart, and don't just date someone because they like/love you.

Q: how do you make a picture blurry? can you do it using paint shop pro? because thats the program i use and i took a picture of me and i want it to be kinda blurry so how do i do it ??? kthanksbuhbyeee =)

Download Picasa2. It's free and it is well worth it. The download is at google.picasa.com

Q: I am going to be getting a car in the spring and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions
here are some things i am looking for

1) affordable- I'm prob gonna have a max of $10,000 to spend on a used car (with under like 60,000 miles)
2) safe- will be a good quality car and will last me a couple of years atleast
3) decent mileage- gas is expensive
4) its cute- because every teen girl wants a "cute" car

My first pick is a 2004 Hyndai elantra but I need some more back up options

if it helps i live in pittsburgh pa

give reasons why i pick your car too!

A VW Bug. If you can, get a VW Bug convertible. They are adorable, which seems like what you are looking for.

Q: how can i get a code in order to make an aim profile? i'll customize it, i just need to know a starting point.

I don't know that I understand the question, but I'm going to try to answer anyway. If you're talking about the link that you click and it takes you to a different page, try going to www.buddyprofile.com or www.buddy4u.com

Q: I got an mp3 player a while ago, and it is just like an ipod just a different brand. Well, now it won't turn on, the wheel turns on but the rest won't. And I don't know what to do. My dad will get so mad because we had to return it and get a new one before. Anyone have any ideas on what to do. It's a Sansa 2 GB player. Thanks.

I also have a Sansa. I may be wrong, but it could be on hold. There is a botton at the top that turns it on and off hold. When it is on hold, it won't come on. That's all I can think of, unless it's just broken.

Q: Just to make sure, In the Bible in Revalations, it says the sexually immoral go to hell. What does that mean?

Sex before marriage, unclean sex (periods), sex with something other than a man or a woman, sex with someone of the same gender, masterbation.

Q: does anyone know where to find cute myspace layouts besides createblog.com and whateverlife? im in a desperate need and really really want an awesome layout :-D so if anyone knows please please please tell me
