hi guys i have this big problem. first off, i am almost 15 & my parents are in their 50s they are very old fashioned. they only let me hang out w/ girls im only allowed to talk to boys in school or on the phone in the daytime. they always see hanging out with boys as a "date" & never let me hang out w/ my friends that are boys just because they are boys. i think this is unfair ive tried everything possible to convince them otherwise please help me pleassse (link)
Well you cant teach old dogs(people) new somethings. That only thing you can do is be creativy as possable, think of false hobbies, im going to jog? for a small one, you just have to use your mind and put them in under false ideas, And if you say your joging, think if the got "friends" like jog pass them, alwasy remember, if your not paranoid your not safe, know whats happening all the time and read there thought, not like (read there mind) but think of what they could be thinking. but never used one anwser. If you want to know more aboot this hit me up.


My sweet sixteen isnt untill feb. but i like planing things ahead of time or at least starting to think about them and i dont know what to do yet. any ideas for a party? i was thinking maybe doing it with one of my friends bc her bday is in feb. too. any ideas of what to do? we dont want too high of a budget. (link)
Well,(all the links are at the bottom) You can always make lots of hebal teas and sweets to get everyone nice and buzzed which is always good. Or a for a real good time get some happy caps. Like what i would do it make some Kartom milkshakes, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds to eat, and some Salvia Divinorum Sage Extract 10X,20X to smoke, but you need only to smoke so little of this its really nothing. like 1/20 to 5-20 of a gram. And there are many herbs and only a few out of like 30-50 can kill you if you take way too much, and only a few have bad effects. And if your against this dont give me a bad rating please. Im only trying tp share what I share and find fun. And it`ll make your party 10x`s better if you trust me. Its a cheap site with good herbs for your buck. so maybe order a few 25usdmin to order, and try`em out with a friend. The friend must be there for divinorum and the seeds. Just read aboot them and read the Experiences to see how other people took the plant and how the liked it.

And maybe some good kave for people to smoke on, plus it`ll be good to put some salvia 20x cuz its real tary.

what does it feel like to be a gangster? (link)
Well, I guess you could call me that. It doesnt feel good. Its a way to make money. You have to do some shit you would never consider doing to people and all for money. You get stab, shot at, shot, see your boys die right in fornt of you, and the volice never ends. Cuz you can let them walk over you. Paranoia is your friend cuz the more you have the more safe you are. So everyone is a enemy. And greed is what fuels you. Thats why i got out and wont go back to it.


What do they say about assuming?
People always say " You know what they say about assuming" What do they say!? (link)
Well, when someone says something and you think of the first thought in your mind that you think is right, but might not be always right. I think there saying to gaurd your toung. Find out more b4 you talk. You`ll also gain wisdom this way. It`s a Buddhist thing.


Okay so I like this guy. He likes me too. But then a really good friend of mine likes him too. And he likes her too. Ughh what do I do?

(link)
Well, Talk to your friend. Say yall two have a problem. If one friend should hold back so the other can go, thats a bit unfair. Both should have to, but thats pointless, Talk to her and find some way to see who goes after him. Flip a coin? Then one of you can try getting with him, if that fails then the other can try. Its disrespect for for one friend to have to step down. But if you can find a way to make it =. And one thing i see alot of people is the the meaning of getting with some one, Like if she gets with him, but they broke up...She didnt get with him. She "Got" but to be with someone should be till death, But things mostly dont work out and he should be free game to everyone. A real logical thinking person should see this and wouldnt be so rude to say since we went out you cant go out with him. I`ve seen alot of friendships end this way.


I want to get started in Hindi music. What do you guys recommend/like? (link)
monsoon, Geeta dutt, Jagit, Abida Parveen are just a few., Get Napstar its like 15 a month and they have a good amount of Hindi, ect.


okay so i met this kid chris. well me & chris became close & he told people that he thought something would happen between us. like get together or something. so then i go over chris's house with my friend ashley & they start talking and stuff. now he is all into her after one time meeting her. he said that same thing about something would happen between them. well ashley knows how much i like him but yet is still going along and likes him back but lies to be about it. well he kept saying he wanted her. well tonight he calls me and asks me to go over his house. well i still really like him & i want to go over i just dont know how to deal with the situation. what do i say to them? this kid is a major player so i know he doesnt mean it to either of us but ashley really believes him but i really like him. eek. help? (link)
Well, go get`em. Your friend said she didnt like him? Its all yours. And friends play along all the time. I see it everyday. Its really not that bad of a thing. And she`s only playing along, that shouldnt stop you from going after him you know?


I have a best friend I new her ever since 1st grade but I move school we hardly talk , so I have this other friend who I'm alwayz with but she still talk about her friend that she miss her, wants to talk to her tells me what they used to do together,. I though we were best friends but she alwayz trying to compare us to each other (her other friend)I want to be her friend maybe her best friend but she alwayz talk about her other friend I'm not telling her what me and my best friend used to do b/c I know she'll be like "so what I'm I and y you alwayz talktin about her" but she making me feel like I'm nothing to her. what should I do I really don't kno ..... I mean she know everything about me , my famliy ,my other friends ,she done been to my family party hangout spent a night @ each others house but I guess I would never be her best friend so my Q is what should I do to tell her if I'm her best friend with her talking about her other friend
? (link)
Ha, She might be doing it without knowing. First off, dont hide it. Bring it out in the open like she knows it. Say " Oh wow thats cool, even though i dont know her and i wasnt there." Point out facts in a settle way to show her disinterest. She`s not showing much respect when she can do something and you cant do the same. She`s basicly saying Im talking, pshhhhh. Its rude and should not be accecpted at all. Arent friends =? Or is there a + and a -. In jail you`d be the B****. Cuz that is whats happening.


well my mom & brother fight like no other. he is 18 & still lives at home for now. they are fighting right now over my step dad ( my brother & him hate eachother with a passion but he doesnt live with us ) soon the 4th of july my step dad & my brother got into a fight. at that time me & my mom were supposed to move into his house. well since the fight we arent moving in. my mom said she was over with him, divorse & everything. well now its about not even a month later & she is sleeping over his house on the weekends again & i know they are back together. i dont like him at all & neither does anyone in my family. she promised me & everyone that they were going to split. well now i know they are back together & im scared that we are going to end up moving there. i hate this guy so bad. & everytime i try to talk to my mom about this she yells at me & tells me that she doesnt want to be alone. i just dont know what to do. this is so hard on me never seeing my mom because he is an idiot. please help. (link)
Well, I sorta have the same problem. You have to see that your mother is most likly depress and has problems leaving people. If she drinks its a dead give away. Your mother doesnt think like you. She most likely made up her mind on what makes her happy and what doesnt.(ie closed minded) If so she has traped her self in a never ending depression that she`s trying to make easyer. Easy ways too tell this is, Wont reason to logic, Her opinions are "logic", yells for no reason(well resonable reason) gets mad easyly, drinks commenly. If so Dont talk to her,agree and walk away, Its a lost cause trust me. And as for your bro, if your mom is like that explain that his basicly talking to a wall that yells back and that could trow him out or, try,

telling him to keep to himself and not to yell even if he wants to. If this doesnt work,
Blackmail him to do ^^^ but only that. dont want to get greedy. And you have to look.


im 13/f
--my friend like is so cofindent when shes talkin to boys and when i find out guys like her i get jeolous i try to hide it but its not easy
--and when im around boys i dont talk that much
plz tell me how i can talk to guys without like bein shy and help me with my friend (link)
Think your the prettest thing around. And you need to realize what Jeolousy is and why you have it. Is it because you see her and you want what she has? Jeolousy only holds you back. Instead of feeling mad because you want something. Think how you can better yourself to get what you want. Dont let yourself hold yourself back.


okay so my mom will not let me buy a sidekick 3, even with my own money. she said that it's a waist of money but whatever...

she also says that the only way i can get one is if i try doing one of those, 'win a free sidekick 3' things which you get adds for. my friends dad works for a company which weeds out the real adds for those from the fakes and he has like 20 laptops now. (though he gives them to the company afterwards).

so im wondering if anyone can give me some sites which will for sure give you one. (link)
Well, just to let you know, i had SK2, it was the shit!!! A 9/10! I would buy it! Tell her it was etheir that or a bunch of crap(ie video games, what ever you like) the SK3 is not a wasit of money. But! You need alot if your gonna have pre-paid. If you have a job, get the plan. you`ll spend way too much if your using it as a phone. But what can she do when you already have it? And if your scared just keep it DL. And she`s only saying that "contest thing so you can fail and she`ll get her way without prelonged fighting between yall. What are you chances? 1 to 99999 if your lucky. If you can afford it with a job then buy it. But if its money your folks gave you then think twice. The sk3 cost alot with no job.


Hey,
Im 15 years old, female, 5'3, and weigh 87 pounds All theese B.M.I things say i am dangerously underweight...even though i have a very small body frame, im also a late bloomer (I havent had my period) I go to the doctor regularly and they never said i was underweight...i dont feel like im too thin. Should i be worried? Does not having your period and being a late bloomer have an affect on ideal weight?

Thank you. (link)
Well, Its the other way around. being under weight like that you can have your first (cannot type) at as late as 16 maybe 17. But if you gain like 20lb im sure you`ll get it asap. The more fat the faster you`ll get it.


i need help to the max.

I feel like i like this one person and i dont know if i do or not. Do you know what i mean? Like do you like anyone right now? are you feeling how i feel?


Help me! (link)
Well, There is a time and a place for everything. You see, When people are so distant body and mind, It can be a pointless effort and netheir get what they want.

And besides, I have Biggish plans for the next 5-30 years which will put me and the people around me in danger, And I will be taking everything in my power to make sure nothing happens to me or anyone around me, I`m a smart guy when it comes to these things but thats aboot it. And im not really on thats been down with the short reletionship. Everyone I had has been "long" for my age in my opinion. And idk if you`ll want to be with me all though that or even the end at my plan. And dont think you`ll change my mind aboot that cuz my mind is set.

But you never know, I do want someone in the Future.

But remember, there`s a time and a place for everything.

Lately, I have been having really bad food cravings. Im not fat, 110 pounds, but I think that if I keep eating, I will be fat. I was wondering if there is a good way to kick the cravings. Thanks! (link)
Well, As someone who has studyed the human thoughts and how they come to be and how they effect people, I think you should find your average weight for your size. 110 is real skiny. If you dont take car of your body now ill effect you in the future. Look it up you`ll see. But you have to go cold turkey. The more you feed the craving the craving will live longer. Its the only quick way. Maybe buy something thats sweetish but healthy. Fuirt?


Hi, I'm Patricia, and I'm 22 years old. My friends are in the 22-28 year old range.
I have an empty double garage under my apartment. My friends and I have no where really to hang out. So, we baught a pool table, a dartboard and a small bar so we could solve our problem. I wanted the "bar/billiard room" to sort of have a beach feel to it so I strung up some old x-mas lights across the ceiling and I baught a bunch of mirrors and beach posters for the walls. I want to get some neon signs and beer/liquor posters, lights, clocks, whatever, but I can't find any that aren't extremely expensive. Maybe thats just the way it is, but I thought surely someone on here had done this before and might have some tips on where I could get cheap stuff. We're getting ready to throw a birthday party for a friend and I want to decorate with maybe some raffia and what-not, but I don't want it to look extremely tacky. just a little tacky! Haha. Like a beach club or something. Any ideas on what I could do decoration wise inexpensively or beach party ideas, advice would be appreciated!!! (link)
This isnt some dicorations but it`ll make the room look alot better and people will have lot more fun

This weekend, I'm visiting my girlfriend for the weekend. Unfortunately, on Saturday she has been invited to her ex's 21st birthday party. She says that he and his family are still good family friends, although she never hangs out with them or talks to them. So she is going and is dragging me to the party. I have expressed the fact that I feel uncomfortable about this, but she has taken a "Tough Shit" attitude towards my feelings. Is it irrational for me not to want to go and is there any way out of this? Help! (link)
Well, If you a guy... Then suck it up. Guys dont have feelings as soft as that! She`s a ex! Have you moved on yet?? You should ask yourself that. Look at it this way. If you dont go you`ll hear aboot it longer and then your girlfriend and your ex will "talk" And your girlfriend will be mad as it is. You need to go to keep a look out as it is.
And if you dont like girls like that then its your falt for being with her. If you`d stop being controled by your P***S and think logicly you`ll see what you should do.

If you a girl...

Well, You shouldnt have a problem if you moved on.
You shouldnt look at it like a bad thing. You get to see someone agian that you had feelings for. It`s not a bad thing, well if you didnt move on then it is. And as for your girl friend forcing you is another thing. If she treated you =`s then she wouldnt be doing this. Unless you did something. Or maybe your misunderstanding your relationship. Theres many times. Maybe you have the one where you both take turns enduring each other to make yourselves happie?


My hair's kinda thick and so my friends always tell me that I look like a mad woman. But I seriously don't think so. I'm just not one of those girls who have flat, neat and thin hair at the top of their heads. I have thick , straight hair which is a little puffed up(due to the thickness) at the top. Maybe its cos of the puffiness that's why my friends tell me I look like a mad woman.


And also, I guess they say that I look mad because I have a rather big, squarish head. So my head probably makes me look messier since it's bigger. Ugh. I hate my face shape so. Darn. How I wish I can have other people's sharp and small face shape.

But I honestly don't think I look mad! Also , a lot of my friends told me stuff that I seriously seriously don't agree with. I feel that I look ok. But you know, if 3 of your friends tell you the same thing, then... idk...maybe I should really do something about it? But I'm really happy and comfortable with the way I look. So how? Should I listen to them and try to do something? Or should I just stick with my own style? (p.s don't tell me not to care about other people's opinion because when 3 or more people tell you the same thing, you'd start to suspect your own taste)

Well, My whole family, friends tell me things that i know is wourg. Just because they all say doesnt mean its true. But if your going to take there advise then take it. Hair grows backs you know? Plus school hasnt started(if your in school, i get the feeling that you are) But its unwise to think jsut because these people say its true it is. What matters is what you think and thats what should matter. People who listen to everyone else gets low self-esteem.


14/f
all of my friends drink and ive never even tried or got drunk. they all want me too and everything but im afaird and i dont know if i should.. and if it really is that bad..i know soooooo many people who have drank and they seem alright. but just scared and i need advice ! (link)
Well, I study this kind of stuff. And to me it is a hard drug. I`ve since people do coke and other hard drugs and they seemed fine. But theyre not really. All drugs are bad for you. They effect you brain! That is who you are is your brain. And by drinking your damaging That and other parts of your body. And by drinking you can do stupid shit. Some of the things i`ve seen while people are drunk is, Have sex with 8 guys at different times in one night. Jump of houses, Beat a best friend up for no reason. Try to rip of her ear. Pee in front of people(it was a girl too)break bones, Woke up to someone they dont know. I`ve almost been raped by a guy then a girl while drunk. Its not that fun of a drug. If its your first high then you`ll love it and dislike a little of other drugs. No good comes out of Booze.

You should do your own reseach. Here...
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/alcohol/alcohol.shtml

And if you look around that site you`ll see there are other plants that wont kill you and get you "high" that might be growing in your backyard or someone who lives close. But you are 14 so i dont reccomen you do drugs. I myself didnt start doing then till i was 16.


Ok I like a dude but we were talking and he had just broke up with his other gurl friend and all of my friends said that he was on rebond but i didnt want to belive them because i thought he was the best thing that would ever happen to me anyway his friends said that he only wanted me for sex and to make his girl friend want him back !! So today I started crying and i could hardley breathed i dont know how to get him out of my head and i odnt feel like having fun anymore and i dont know anything anymore i really need help i really like this dude i know i shouldnt because what he did but i cant get him out of my head (link)
Well, You should confront him. Show your feelings. Ask him what you want to know then ask why. If a few tears dont work then your better off without him. I know you want to be with him, but do you want to be with someone who just did that to you? And its not like its the only guy you`ll ever like. Look at the future, and dont dwell on the past. I`ll only hurt you. He`s no good for you if he did all that. You can do better, There`s always Better people out there. Try A Buddhist chat line, there plenty of good guys there!
