about

hey my name is Joanna. I've been through a lot and I can probably relate to a lot of the things you need help with. I hope you can trust me. Even, if you just want to talk to someone then you can e-mail me or instant message me. I hope I can help you with anything you need help with or if you just need a friend.
I love giving advice. A little about me well i like music, i love music actually.I write my own songs. I also write poetry and books. I am a huge photography lover and i take photography classes. I am a Christian. I have a lot of friends who i give advice to and it always seems to help them so i hope it helps you too.




Ratings: I'm not here for ratings. I don't care about them at all. I am here to help people, but it you're going to rate then rate based on whether the advice was good. Meaning don't give someone a low rating just because it's not the advice you wanted. They are telling you their opinion that you asked for.
Also, for people giving advice, don't tell people what they want to hear just to get higher ratings. They asked for your help and opinion so be honest no matter what!

advice

alright. soo i've been peeing a ton lately. i usually go 4 or 5 times a day and lately ive been going 7+. I don't think I've been drinking excessive liquids. This has been going on for about 3 days. It doesn't burn when I pee or anything... I know that that's a urinary tract infection, I had that once before when I was a little kid. The only thing I can think of is that its the week before my period, but I don't think it'd make me pee this much, since I don't usually pee this much before my period.

So yeah... anyone have an idea whats wrong? I know that if it is a urinary tract infection you have to go to the doctor pretty fast or else it can turn into a kidney infection or something.

Ohh and idk if this relates but on Christmas I had these horrible pains in my stomach in the morning and I was like curled up in a ball and nauseus and idk why.. it kind of came back through the day but not as bad and not for as long. Since then I've been okay.

Thxx

you should see a doctor. This site helps for some help, but for something like this you should probably see a doctor. =D

ok. if your so called "BEST FRIENDS" never called you, always stood you up with phone calls, and made you feel like you weren't their friend, what would you do?

Talk to them about it. Tell them how you feel. If they don't listen then they're not people you want to be best friends with. IF they're true freinds then they'll understand you and try to fix it. Hope i helped =D

I like to wear band tees but that looks rather plain. Is there any way to spice up an outfit while I'm wearing these tshirts? I really like supporting the bands but I dont want to look plain or boring.

ACCESSORIZE!

Wear cool jewelry or a headband or cool clips. I love band shirst too so i know where your coming from.

14/f
ok well i promised to be pure until i get married. a guy at the age of 13 wanted to give up his virginity to me and i flipped so i was like ok i am going to make a chioce. i am going to be pure until marriage.what do guys think my age. will they not like me because of the choice i made? or what.

If they don't like you because of the choice you amd than you do not want to be around them. They are not worth your time if they won't respect your decision. If they won't like you cause you won't have sex with them then that means all they wanted was sex and it wouldn't of worked out anyway. hope i helped =D

ok.
15/f.

My question is.. does age really matter? like i like this guy.. we'll call him... M. well M is a bit younger then me.. like 6 months or something.. we're in the same grade and everything.. if we were to go out would that be wrong because of the age?

Like i'm gonna be 16 in February but he'll still be 15.. i guess all i'm trying to say is that.. since we're in the same grade.. would age matter?

thank you. any help is appreciated:]

age doesn't matter. Even is it did, 6 months is not a big deal. i dated a guy 8 months younger than me. 6 months if perfectly okay.

theres this boy in one of my classes and we dont really talk that much and i think hes really cute and hes not the coolest person ever lol so i dont think theres anyone else that wants him (possibly one other girl but im not really worried about her) anyways, what are some ways to talk to him without it being too random? cause hes really nice and cute and i want him to know im interested.

thanks!

Ask him if you have any homework int hat class. Tell him you need help and ask if you could call if sometime to get it or even if you guys could hang out over the weekend or afterschool so he could help you. Tell him you like his outfit or how is hair looks one day. You can just say "Heyy, what's up?" he won't think it's weird or random he'll just think you're being friendly. Hope i helped. =D

I'm a 19 year-old female who's dating a 26 year-old male. We have a lot of problems because of our age difference, but there's one major problem that I don't quite understand.

My boyfriend is constantly trying to have sex with me. Mind you, since our fifth month into dating, we've been boinking. However, over the past year or so, he's persistant in his efforts to have sex with me, even when I don't want to. I'll tell him I don't feel like it and he just keeps bugging me, saying things like "You don't need this shirt" and then trying to pull my shirt off over my head while we're watching a movie. Or, more often, complaining that "sex fixes everything" because it makes him feel better. When I explain that it makes me feel terrible to have sex when I don't want to, he insists that it won't.
So, we never have any time to talk about things or even go out because we're stuck at home fighting about sex. I don't even like to kiss him anymore because he takes it as a sign that I want to "do it". Most of the time I just give in because I'm tired of fighting and then feel cheap and bad the rest of the time I'm with him.
I've tried to talk to him about it and I've tried to explain it to him, but he just doesn't seem to care.

What should I do?

Well tell him that if he doesn't realize that what you want does matter than you will rethink the relationship. Even if your not actually planning on breaking up with him, make him worry, make him realize he can't get away with anything. If he doesn't stop, however, than you might actually want to rethink your relationship. You want a guy that respects you and your needs. Also, you shouldn't give in. If he really cares about more than sex then he'll just let it go. If he threathens to break up with or or something for not giving him sex than he is not someone you want in your life and obviously only cares about sex and not you. Hope i helped. =D

15/f

I'm about 5'7-5'8ish and I weight about 183 lbs.
The thing is though, I don't look like I weight 183, I look to weight about 160ish and my pants size is 11-12. I don't look that big, and I knew some of it is because of my height.

When I look ay myself, I know I don't look that big. But when I think about how much I weigh, it drives me insane.

The doctor said back in July that I didn't really need to worry about my weight, but if I wanted to lose weight, it'd be perfectly healthy.

I guess what I'm asking is how to lose weight, at least ten pounds before January 27th(school dance) and I'm also a little afraid that since I look like around 160 if I lost ten-twenty pounds I'd look like a stick and I don't want that either, because of my height.

if you lost 10-20 pounds i don't think u'd look sickly. Just don't lose more than 20. Just watch you watch you eat. When u you get food get more vegetables than anything else on your plate so you get filled up on that. Also drink a lot of water. It fills you up so your not as hungry. Also you should walk or jog at least 45 minutes a day.

14 female. when ever i like a guy i tend to give or loan them money. most of the guys i liek are not trust worthy o i usuially never get my money back. everyone knwos that i ALWAY have cash on me i cant lie to them and say "sorry i dont have any money on me." I am afraid to ask them for the money back after i stop liking them, one because i am embarrasses and two:: because it has been so long that they have forgotten. during the last school year this one boy i was crushing on would ask me for a dollar every day for 3 or 4 months. i would say yes everyday and as a resuly gave him around 40 dollars and he never even liked me as more than a frined. i know the boys are jsut using me but i cant help my self. if anyone has any advice on how to stop or anthign to say to the boys who ask and try to use me i woudl greatly appreciate it!. thanks a million andone =)

haiely

Well it's not the best thing to give out money to every guy you like,unless you really trust him to pay you back. When you give guys money say "this isn't a give away it's a loan and i want u to pay me back." Some guys will say they will pay you back and never do and if that's the case then say your mom or dad yelled out you for giving out money so you can't anymore.Hope i helped =D

I have always wondered if you burn calories when you talk, sing or laugh. I know this is a weird question!

Yea u burn calories when u use any muscles. Which includes the tongue, jaw, and lips.

I want to take a picture of my self that looks like this. Example: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=86878213&imageID=905681844&MyToken=63b058b1-a94c-4bcc-8858-dbf8b677cf4e

How should I position the camera when I take the picture? How close to my body and how far up?

hold the camera directly in front of you so the lense faces your face, have your arm stretched out as far as it can go. Then raise your arm up still with the camera in the same position. As your raising your arm follow the camera with your eyes. When your eyes can't look up anymore without moving your head then it's in the perfect position. Hope i helped.

14/f...i've been trying to eat less calories and stay thin. a daily eating pattern is this

breakfast -- a vanilla crisp Special K bar
lunch -- one red apple and one chewy bar
dinner -- whatever my dad makes (it varies everyday from hot dogs to pasta)

but all of the sudden my dad has been trying to get me to eat more food. he is always thinking that if i eat too little then i'm going to become anorexic. whenever my dad cooks he makes me eat more then i want to eat to stay thin. what can i do? and today him and my mom started saying that they don't like how i eat a special K bar for brerakfast. they want me to eat something more suitable for breakfast like cereal..but that would put more calories into my diet and make me gain weight.

u need to eat a lot for breakfast. Not going ou of control eating or anything but more than a special k bar. Most of what you eat at breakfast gets burned off. Breakfast gets your metabolism going. If you don't eat enough at breakfast then your metabolism will be slow and burn less calories throughtout the day. That is also why you need to eat more at lunch. You need to keep eating enough to keep your metabolism going. Not saying you should fill up on junk food. You can eat healthy food, but more of it.
hope i helped.

So i'm tryint to put a picture up of me and my friend on myspace, but on the actual profile, not where u go look at the pics. problem is, i dont know how to make the pictures smaller. when i upload it it turns out really HUGE. i already tried saving it as gif. but it didnt work. does anyone have some help for me? please and thanks =)

upload the picture to photobucket and use the tag code to put it in your profile. If it's to big then go back to photobucket and click to re-size the picture. Then re-copy & paste the tag code. You'll have to hit refresh on ur myspace to see it resized cause the original size get's in the memory. hope i helped.

How did you know they were reading your entries & how CAN they read your private entries? Like, did you have them set to private?

I had them set to private, and two of my friends IMed me and asked what happened and other questions regarding some of the private entries. I asked how they saw them and they said it just showed up on my page. When i checked it out it said it was private. I contacted the people and they said sorry but sometimes they have glitches.

Has livejournal.com ever had problems with its "private" entries? Like... has it ever had technical difficulties which resulted into them being shown public?

I have some really, really personal entries that I wish to put on private but I'm a little hesitant on doing so because I don't want to take a chance in them being revealed. I don't want to have to create another journal, I wish to just simply have one journal that contains public posts as well as a few private posts.

I had a live journal. I had the same worries you did, and they were right. I got rid of it because everyone was reading my private entires. I think to be on the safe side you should just keep a notebook or something to use as a journal. Hope I helped
