Hey my name is Rachel and iam 17 years old and my family's moving and I was wondering what kind of theme would be good for a 17 year old's bedroom? (link)
|
My sister's 17 and her room is a jungle theme(animal print blankets and pillows, brown walls with a wallpaper border that has leopards on it, etc.)
My room is an Oriental theme(red walls, pretty Asian fans, vintage silkscreens and prints of asian-themed paintings).
Another idea is music, but don't use a band as a theme, because you don't know if you'll stop liking them. But if you play an instrument, for example drums, you could put cool drumsticks up on the walls, or if you have old cymbals that you don't use anymore, you can put those up on the wall, etc. Decorate with musical notes, frame old sheet music, if you can find any little musical instruments such as harmonicas, ukeleles, or anything else, at garage sales and thrift stores. You could also put up posters of your favorite bands.
What are you really interested in? Acting? Basketball? Photography? Animals? Anything can become a theme.

Ok so here's how it works, I babysit 3 kids, one is 11 year old girl, a 8 year old boy and another 5 year old girl. I constantly have my hands full. I watch my employers kids, I clean her hous, I do her dishes, and stay there all night, most of the time, she usually stays out and comes home the next day. How much should I charge her? Thanx for the advice in advance.. (link)
|
I babysit a little boy, and I charge six dollars a hour, but I don't stay over night, and she specifically told me not to clean anything.
You could say six dollars an hour per child, and you'd pretty much be raking it in. :P

My friend lets call her.. Jaci, well I basically hate her boyfriend with all my heart. Hes so annoying. He gets mad at anything I say.. I just will be talking about like clothing or something, to Jaci.. & he gets all mad. Or if I tease him just jokingly, he like gets so offeneded. Then, when he teases me, & if I get mad, he freaks out. & says I'm gay to be getting mad. So, what do I do to make him stop?! I tried telling Jaci, & him. That he needs to stop. But, he just won't. What else can I do, to make it better?! (link)
|
I'm sorry to say you just have to deal with him. Obviously Jaci sees something in him that you don't.
The best you can do is talk to him and just say that you don't know why the two of you don't get along, and you'd like to try to be friends.
People respond better when you put it positively (DO try to be my friend) rather than negatively (DON'T be mean to me).
But you have to contribute to this trying to get along as well. Friendship is a joint effort. No matter how mean he is, you need to try to be nice, or he'll just be even meaner, and use the excuse that you weren't nice to him.
If this doesn't work, just remember that relationships don't last forever, and your friendship will survive this. Good luck.

What are some easy dishes to make that doesn't really include specific amounts of ingredients? For example, chicken noodle soup? I can't think of anything right now. Well, thanks a lot! (link)
|
If you want something that doesn't require specific amounts of ingredients, all I can say is definitely DO NOT try any baking, because baking (cookies, cakes, etc.) needs to be very precise or it won't turn out right.
I'm not sure what else to say...anything involving pasta would probably be easy, like macaroni and cheese, or you can make a tomato cream sauce or something. It's very easy, and of course pasta itself is easy to make.

How do you make a nacho bean and cheese salsa dip? I'm not sure entirely what I am talking about. The bean is like light brown and mushed and underneath it is a layer of melted cheese and salsa? My memory is bad.. has anyone eaten this kind of thing before? (link)
| |
You're talking about refried beans. Those can be found in an supermarket, canned. If you get those, a jar of salsa, and some cheese, you can just put them together.

i think i may have OCD. i've read up on it and i have all the symptoms. i especially struggle with "obsessions" as in i get one little thought stuck in my head and i think about it over and over for months.
i've tried doing everything i can about it, but to no avail. i spoke to my mum about it but she thinks its just worry and stress. she won't take it at all that i may have a mental illness. i really want to see a therapist or a doctor, but i'm only 17. my question is, could i see someone without my mum finding out? like i said, i can't talk to her about it. if not, what's something i can do to help myself until i turn 18 and can see a doctor myself? it's really starting to affect and has been persisting for over a year now. please help me. thank you

I am obsessive-compulsive so I know what you are going through. You just need to let your mom know specifically what is going on and exactly how it is affecting your life.
The only way I can really imagine you seeing a doctor about it if your mom doesn't want to take you to a therapist is that the next time you see your general practitioner for anything at all, when they make your mom go out of the room, let him know and he'll probably get you a referral to therapy...your mom probably won't argue if the doctor thinks it's necessary, and if the therapist diagnoses you as obsessive-compulsive, she'll know for sure that that's what it is.

Ever since I was 14, I could read people's minds. It scared me at first, and it still sort of does because I don't know much about it.
Sometimes it happens randomly. I'll be thinking of something and suddenly I start to think something completely different that I can't control. This has happened with my siblings and parents before, and I've been able to tell them exactly what they were thinking/feeling.
My family is thinking about sending me to a doctor (I know this because they think about it alot). But there's nothing wrong with me.
Is this mind-reading thing normal? How do I tell my parents to not send me away? =( (link)
| |
Well I wouldn't call it "normal", but it's no reason to send you away and it doesn't make you a freak or anything. Maybe you should avoid telling people about when it happens, because they might not think about it as much or think that it's weird or anything.

what age can kids start to babysit other kids? (link)
| |
I'd say 13.
|
|
so heres just a stupid question :-D uhh can you really die by leaving a tampon in 2 long or something? i mean i dont use them anyways but a lot of people say that!!! (link)
| |
If you leave a tampon in for too long, you can get a rare but serious disease called Toxic Shock Syndrome, and although it is not always fatal, you can die from TSS.
|
I just got my period and i put a tampon in. How do I know that i put it in the right place. I read the directions and everything... is it also possible that may be too long??
(link)
|
If it's umcomfortable, or even extremely noticable, and if it's leaking, that means it's in the wrong place.
Otherwise you should be fine.

Were Adam and Eve the first people on Earth? If so what about the cavemen? I thought they appeared first? I am confused. I mean, are the cavemen really the "people" in Darwin's theory of evolution? And so not supported by the bible...umm.. (link)
|
Creation and evolution are two very different theories, and it is hard to believe in both at once.
Here are two extremely brief summaries
According to creation, God created humans as they are.
According to evolution, humans evolved slowly over millions of years from apes, who were before that possibly water-residing creatures, backward until we are descended from the first single-celled bacterium.
I'm not putting my own beliefs in here, because I think you should probably do more research and find out for yourself what you want to believe.

like omg wen i shave my legs they grow back in one night's time:
1. is there any way i can make them stay smoother longer Ps I wana shave
2. is it a good idea to shave every day? (link)
|
Shaving every day is fine. And the hair growing in darker and thicker is a myth. If I skip shaving for a few days, my body hair is still blond and fine.
Someone once told me that they shave with conditioner(like for your hair)and the hair grows in softer so that she can skip a day and be fine.
I know you have your heart set on a shaving, but something else you could do(besides waxing-ouch) would be using a depilatory(sp?). It's like a cream that you put on your legs and it melts away the hair, pretty much. Some of them even come with little bladless razors so you can feel like you're actually shaving. Heh. But if you have really sensitive skin, I wouldn't go for it, because they can burn.

i'm totally freaking out...well ok...i've been getting some signs with the number 5 in it like everytime i look at the clock it's usually 5:55....and i just keep seeing it everywhere...does anyone know what that means??well also i got this really wierd phone call and so did my friend...the number was 555-555-5555..wierd right?well does anyone know what that number is...and my friend also got a call from 111-111-1111...wierd...can someone please help???also i don't think this helps but i'm 14/f (link)
|
There is no phone number in the world that begins with 555. That's why they use it in movies and stuff, so people won't call them and annoy whoever owns the number, and the movie companies won't get sued.
So I have a feeling that this means nothing.

Last night I found out a bunch of my best guy friends smoke, drink, and do weed. I broke down cause you never really think it'll happen to you. Me and some of my other friends want them to get help, before its too late. What could we do; ( Annonymously if possible ) ? (link)
|
You can leave them alone and let them deal with their own problems.
They have to want help, and they obviously don't.

I am a type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 14. Everthing is going good with my diabetes, but I am at an age where I will be looking at colleges and jobs. Does anyone know if there are special forms to fill out on applications? And if I am going to work, how do I inform my (potential) boss that I have special health issues? (link)
| |
During job interviews, they will most likely ask if you have any health issues that may interfere with your ability to do the job, or any health issues period.
|
|
Why do they ask you if your pregnant when you get x rays? What happens if you are pregnant and you get x rays done? (link)
|
The radiation could cause birth defects.
But also, from when you are a female from about twelve to about fity, any health professional will ask you if there's a possibility that you could be pregnant.

i definitely know trampolines can be dangerous. But i want one so badly that i've been beging my parents for like 2 years. they still say i'll think about it but then when they do they say no, its dangerous. but i did some research and most of the injuries from trampolines are falling of them, but if you get a GOOOD Safety net, that will solve that problem. and the other injuries are mostly falling on the side where the springs are or landing improperly from doing stunts and stuff. the side has padding on most trampolines and trust me i'm too afraid to do those flips and stuff. how can i convince my parents that i will be extra safe and cautious with a trampoline? (link)
|
Show them all the research you've done.
It will show that you are dedicated to getting a trampoline, and you know what to do so that they are safer.
Also, make sure you have room in your yard where you would put one. That might be another issue.
And yet another problem they might have with the trampoline is price. I don't know how much they cost, but I can't imagine it's cheap. Offer to pitch in whatever you can to help pay for it.

i having a really hard time. right now my hair is brownish blondish and i want it a darker brown. my mom is saying i should get lowlights, i think i should get it dyed. arent lowlights really streaky? which one is better? thanks i rate high. (link)
| |
If the lowlights are done by a good hairdresser(which shouldn't be hard to find, honestly), they won't look streaky. They'll look more natural than if you dye it completely and if you have them for a while, it could be a good transition to dying your hair completely dark if that is what you eventually want to do. They're less drastic.

hi! i've started getting my haircut at a pretty upscale place, and now instead of the hair stylist washing my hair, there is an assistant that does it. am i supposed to tip her, and if yes, then how much? the hair cut is $35! thanks!! :) (link)
| |
About five dollars seems appropriate. That's around fifteen percent, which is the average amount you tip waitstaff at restaurants.
