I have been smoking cigarettes since I was 15, so I have been smoking for close to 10 years. I have quit in the past but for only up to 3 months at a time. I have a very addictive personality. i really really want to quit for the following reasons: so I can be around when my child is old, so my teeth don't turn nasty, wrinkles, and so I do not get a horrible cough whenever i am sick. I really truly enjoy smoking though for a number of reasons.(yes I know its gross) I just cannot get the mentality in my head to quit for real, and I will not try the patch or gum or any of that so please do not suggest it. Is there a way to make myself stronger? I feel I am a tad weak in many areas of my life. (link)
Something that has helped my friends quit smoking is to get yourself addicted to something else-usually gum(as in regular chewing gum, not the kind especially for quitting smoking). Also making an agreement with a good friend to hold you accountable can be a huge help. A non-smoking friend usually is more help because they don't understand your cravings, so they'll be more strict.


I like songs that describe my mood(s) or situation... Well right now I just feel betrayed and hurt by my friend. She WAS my best friend but now we're not really good friends anymore and it's because of something I guess. I don't understand it. She's moved on, and has changed a lot. It annoys me and also makes me sad. Everything is confusing and has changed a lot. I also feel left out and feel like "my friend" doesn't really even care about me anymore. It's like we were never "bffl"..... It seems like everything's a lie... I dunno how to describe it, but weird things have happened and I don't understand, cause never in my life would I think it would actually happened. I'm just surprised by it. I'm also sick of fake ppl. Or, posers, and copycatters!!!!! I'm annoyed by them and wish they'd just stop the act..... oh and no, I'm not looking for detailed advice, I just need songs. I'm wondering if anyone knew some reallyyyy goood songs that talk about everything I just said, or something like that. Songs that have good lyrics, and make you really think about them. They could also be sad songs...... Some examples are "Welcome to my Life", "Untitled", and "Perfect", all by Simple Plan... You know songs kinda like that. xD Thankkss! (link)
Mixtape by Brand New sounds like a good one for you right now.


does anyone know where I could find some really nice but moderately priced matching lingerie? (link)
Target has some pretty cute stuff.


How do you get rid of split ends without cutting your hair? i never use any heat on my hair i only had my hair cut about 3 moths ago i dont want it cut very reguarly because i want it longer for the summer! i also only wash it every other day? (link)
split ends can't be reversed but using a thick, creamy conditioner on the ends will be a great help in preventing them.


Can you give a song about your ex liking someone else? Or just about a guy like someone else. As many as possible please!! (link)
Take Me Away by Plain White Ts is pretty good
Jude Law and a Semester Abroad by Brand New is sort of about that two

I don't know what to do really. I met this nice guy through my friend on myspace, and it seems he has a thing for me, and wants to hook up sometime. Well apperantly, he added one of my friends on my top, who can practically get any guy she wants, and she is single now too. And I'm jelous, because i can't get guys that well, like she can. And I don't want her talking to him. What should I do? (link)
Talk to her about it. Let her know how you feel about this guy and about your concerns. If she's a real friend then she will understand and be sensitive to that. If not, then she doesn't sound much like a friend worth having anymore.

okay so recently i kinda feel like Im a total lesbian and i mean believe me i have nothing wrong with LGBTs at ALL. But I think the main problem for me is like the future. I mean i guess i can give up on the fantasy of me marring an amazing guy and having kids.
I keep telling myself it doesnt matter and i have time to figure it out but id just like to know you know?

help?

Oh and if you are just gonna be rude about homosexuality please dont even respond (link)
It's pretty normal to question your sexuality at your age but don't feel like you have to give up on that amazing guy and kids and settle for how you feel about your sexuality right now. Your feelings very well may change in a few years. You don't have to have everything figured out just yet.


okay so i hate bringing my boyfriend over my house. my parents dont let us shut the door anymore because i guess they see we are getting more serious..they know he is in a gang so now they think he is a criminal...which he isnt. my dad thinks im going to become a chola (thats a girl gang member in my boyfriends gang) and all i hear is how they think hes a nice guy but hes a bad influence. they treat me like i have no brain and cant make mature decisions every since i got a tattoo. its like the tattoo labels me as "DANGER SHE IS GOING OVER THE HILL" kind of kid. AND IM NOT. i make smart decisions. they think im going to turn into my older brother and get myself locked up. what do i do? i dont want my boyfriend coming over anymore and when i go to my boyfriends house im not aloud over for longer then 4 hours. and yes we are sexually active and im planning on asking my mom for birth control...i want to prove to her im responsible and im looking out for myself. i dont exactly know what im asking...i just want to know peoples opinions on my situation.

You probably won't like my opinion on your situation but here it is anyway: You're having sex at 15 years old, dating someone in a gang, and you already have a tattoo. Don't get me wrong. I love tattoos. I've got one so far myself. But if someone is willing to break the law about age, they're probably not too concerned with the sanitation laws either. Parents aren't as clueless as we like to think. They've had longer to learn about life than we have and they've been our age at some point. They're worried about you because they love you and they can see consequences that you can't yet. "Bad company corrupts good character." If you want your parents to trust you to make mature decisions, then you should start making them.


it seems to me like there is this universal standard look of beauty..... long flowy hair (even beyoncay, hale bare, maraiah carey spend hours turning it into something Caucasians and Latinas have) what ever happened to curly hair? even curls the curls the have are fake!
not that i am saying all those women are ugly or anything but if thats the standard then heck i'm way out of the picture....... and its making me feel terrible. i am not fat or anything, my face is clear no acne... its just that my nose isn't a ski slope, my hair is super curly and my eyes are pit black (i know that is anatomically not possible but it is the last shade of brown before black!) i'm not tall (only 5'4) and i only fit into a size 8 (sometimes!).........

this sounds cheesy but seriously with that high of a standard what are my odds to look beautiful in the eyes of someone?! if there are any odds at all...

this is really depressing ... (link)
I know just how you feel. Not fitting into the typical definition of what is beautiful sucks, but try to remember that God made you look the way you do on purpose and that alone makes you beautiful. He also created a specific person whose idea of what is beautiful is exactly what you are. It may suck until you meet that person, but as long as he and God find you beautiful, screw what the rest of the world thinks!
