I am completely blunt. Unlike the ignorant adults who feel like they are keeping you safe by "sugar coding" the truth. I'm going to tell you how it is.
I have been on my own since i turned 18. I have the brady bunch family on the outside, and the Osbournes on the inside.
despite overcoming a drug addiction at the age of 16, I later found my place in this world, Helping others. If you want the TRUTH talk to me.
I'm not mean or rude, i just say what's real! check out my web page and see what type of person I am.

(link)

System of a down, lamb of God, and unearth.
Lamb of God is more of a hardcore band, but the other two is a little more low key. There all great!

me and this kid kissed at my friends b-day party and i liked him a lil bit but now i really lik him since this kiss, it didnt bug me before wen he flirted wit all the girls, but now it makes me upset. bcuz he acts lik we didnt do nething at the party and we did. and it upsets me. he was tellin ppl that we kissed and all but he didnt act lik we did. at first i thought the awkardness was kinda funny. but now its just hard to watch him flirt wit everybody and lik touch them and all and just lik act lik me and him did nothing, wat should i do i mean im just confused and hurt. (link)

Okay, it's obvious. He used you to brag to all of his friends that he got action at your friends party.
What is most likely bugging you now is that he got what he wanted and he left you hanging out in the cold.
My advice: Play him at his own game. if he can tell that it bugs you when he "dissed" you, and all of his friends can see that as well, then your going to show them that you get attached too easy.
When people ask you about it just say, "yeah, we kissed, but really...it was no big deal".
It will show him that you can't be phased with his "playa" attitude.
Flirt with other guys and show him that HE WAS NO BIG DEAL. He'll come crawling in about a week when he learns that you don't need him.

my best guy friend / guy i'm seeing (boyfriend idk w/e) is going to a bording school now. i cant see or talk to him at all unless he comes home, which is every other weekend or so. is it wrong for me to still be going out with him? his school is hours away and it's co-ed. i would never find out anything that he did, but he could easily find things out about me once he came home. should i keep things together or is it too much for a 16 yr old to handle? (link)
|
If you two are going to continue to be together you need to learn to trust him first.
If you did trust him you wouldn't be worried that you wouldn't be able to find out anything.
If your a loyal girlfriend then you should beworried that he will find anything out about you when gets home on those weekends.
You are 16 and i'm sure you are probably in high school. Don't tie your self down to a long-distance relationship. You don't need to put yourself through that stress.
Keep it cool and let things just happen. If your meant to be, then you two will be.

What is Epilepsy? Causes? Symptoms? Signs? And what is it's relation with demonic possession. I heard some people say a person is demon possessed or it could be explained that they have epilepsy because the symptoms are the same?... (link)
|
My niece has epilepsy. In now way is she demonic possessed.
Epilepsy is a symptom that the way a person's brain works is sometimes disrupted. When this happens, a person may suddenly have a seizure. Many people will have a single seizure at some time in their lives, but this does not mean that they have epilepsy. If a person has epilepsy it means they have had more than one seizure that began in the brain.

What are the causes of hysteria and manic depression?
I think I might have it.
I am frequently having hallucinations and my moods are always changing. I feel like I have a split personality at times. One part of me is happy at times, another is so depressed and suicidal. (link)
|
If your moods are effecting your every day life, you should go to your doctor or a school counselor to get an evaluation done.
You could possible have a chemical imbalance, that would answer your mood swings. That can be changed with medication, prescribed by a doctor.
As for hallucinations, I have no clue what that could be. You should definately go get a check up.
Good luck~

How do you know when you really love someone? Is there an age limit on love? How do you tell the differance between love and infatuation? Please help me, I really need to know answers and please don't say "you just know" because that really is no help. I'll rate good answers. Thank you so much.
(link)
|
I think love falls in the line of maturity.
Having a school girl crush and jumping from one guy to the other, isn't exactly love. That would be more infatuation.
I would believe love to be concidered more of a higher level of comfort.
would you stink up the bathroom if you knew he was in the next room? Would you feel comfortable giving him a peck on his lips before brushing his teeth in the morning?
Would you bend over backwards to make him happy? Would he do the same for you?
It's the little things that you know when your inlove.
Never doubt it, just embrasse it!

Ok so this is a lot like a lot of the recent questions .. but i need advice. Ill try to shorten it ..
Theres this kid , Jerad. And i like.. really like him. So hes a year older than me .. im a freshman. And hes in about 4 or five of my classes and dome of them are lunches. Well ive only told one person i like him.and shes in the lunches i have with him too. tomorrow is one of those lunches and were sitting at the table next to his. So i was thinking .. if both me and my friend start "small talk" .. and it seems like he likes talking to us.. should i invite him to come hang out at the coffee shopm or come to a volleyball game , or something .. with us ? That way it wont be like.. one on one and i wont be as nervous becasue im pretty outgoing around my friends.and if we hit it off.. like as friends.. i was thinking of asking my friends to go to the movies or drive in this weekend.. should i ask him if he wants to come ? or at least hang out with us again .. then after a few times would it be a good idea to ask him to just hang out the two of us.. yooh see we dont live that far away.. its walking distance. So itll be like it convinient so why not. and also what should we small talk with him about ? We know hes new caz we asked him before.. before i liked him. and nothing corny or stupid please. haha ! Uhmm and any other good ideas please tell me. Im really not shy usually at all.. but.. idk hes the first guy thats made me so shy i barely talk around him.. but im ready so hopefully if yooh get me some good advice by tomorrow things will go better =). Thanks in advance. (link)
|
That's a great idea! make small talk and invite him places with you and your friends. I know how girls get when their a little shy, so try not to focus all your attention on your friends. Ask him questions and really try to get to know him.
Ask for his phone number. most people feel more comfortable talking on the phone than in person. He might also not be a phone person (most guys aren't), ask him what he likes to do and just go for it. Guys love confidence. If you act invicible, you will definately land your man!
Good luck!

Two questions about pre-marriagal sex... first one, am I spelling it right? I just like to know how to spell things, sorry to waste your time. Second one, before Advicenators, I was always under the impression that pre-marriagal sex was just for the screwed-in-the-head potheads and the sluts/whores. But now I'm looking at these questions, and seriously folks, it's just insane how many people are saying "I've been with my b/f three months and we had sex last night, is that too little time?" or something like that. Are my thoughts on pre-marriagal sex wrong? Note: Smartasses get 1s and will be reported. Give me real advice. (link)
|
I know that premarital sex in some religions are against their beliefs. However, I dont think that if you do have sex before marriage is wrong.
It doesn't make you a slut or a whore and the majority of people dont always have to be "screwed-in-the-head potheads".=)
It is about your morales and when YOU think YOU are ready to make such a big commitment.
It shouldn't be passed around every time you feel the need to "get some", then that's when you should be concidered a slut or a whore.
There is also no such thing as too little time.
Have you ever heard of couples who thought they were going to have a one night stand, but ended up spending the rest of their lives together?
You never know. Just be safe.

ok so theres this 6th grader whos really cute and i want to introduce myself to him
(im in 8th grade)
should i just go up to him and say hi or what?
and would it be weird if a 8th grade girl dated a 6th grade boy whos way shorter then her?
fyi this is for a friend (link)
|
You should probably remind your "friend" that her 6th grade crush just got out of elementary school. Kids at that age aren't really mentally ready to have a mature relationship. He's just a kid. She's going to be in High school next year, she should probably start preparing her self for the mature guys that are headed her way.
Think a little more about that decision~

okay well on my progress report i got a 75 in 1 of my advanced classes. well my mom told me to pull it up or no more football games(which i love) & i would be grounded forever..well on my AR tests i got an 80/300 so it pulled my grade down to a 50 & i have this paper my mom has to sign with my grade average on it. i got it on thursday but ive hidden it because im scared to show her. my scores arent really my fault though. the books i read 2/3 of them werent AR. so it led me to have to take 1 test on a book i never read & i got a 20 & the other i was almost finished but not quite & i got a 60. what should i do? im really scared to show her.. (link)
|
We all know that privilages are earned not just handed to us. If you really wanted to go to the football game(s) then you should have done your work.
Now your in a jam...what to do?
Make up your grades. ask the teacher for extra credit to boost your average.
Show the paper to your mom and let her know that you are doing all you can to bring it up. when you show her, show all the extra credit that your teacher has given to you.
That will prove to your mom that you are trying.
If a teacher knows that you are serious about your work then she would most likely not have a problem helping you out.
Good luck~ =)

I have a friend, well he's actually a sisters friend, but I would also consider him my friend and I'm sure he would do the same. He's in 9th grade and I'm in 10th. One day while we were out we were on the topic of God and he said he didnt believe in God. He says he thinks Jesus existed but that he was just a normal guy. He said if God existed then he wouldn't have diabetes.
Now I want to educate him about God and help him accept him into his life. I feel it is my duty as a Christian to guide him to a better life with God, because you are supposed to help the people who don't believe. He is a really sweet boy, and I told him that I was going to teach him and he said "you can try but it won't happen" so if he said I could try I'm going to make every effort too!
My problem is I don't know how to approach it. How should I start off with this teaching and showing? I've considered asking my pastor but I decided to come here first. Thanks for any help! (link)

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
Meaning: whatever may happen God will always be with you.
Start off with bible verses that explain that God is not to blame for his disease. God is here to relieve the pain that Evil has brought. There are always questionable things that happen that we can't explain. When we pass on to the holier side, all of our questions will be answered.
I know you will find the right direction to help your friend. If It can't be done then all you have left is Prayer.
Good luck! =)

I have a real problem with a flatmate of mine. I am mixed caucasian/african and he is South African. The first time we met (I am the newest flatmate in a long established shared house) he just glared at me , didn't smile or introduce himself.
Now, he is forever accusing me of not doing my share of the cleaning and making a mess in the bathroom, which is unfair. Up until now, i have just aplologised in order to keep the peace, but his unjust attitude(which i suspect, as i have implied, is caused by racism) is really starting to bug me. Any suggestions? Thanksx.

when you two are alone in the apartment, ask him, "do you have a problem with me"?
you shouldn't really let it bother you. You two weren't friends and did not know eachother to begin with before moving in. It could be who he is.
As long as your keeping up with your part of the apartment and doing your part to make peace, then the ball is in his court. You aren't just offering the other half of the rent you are also offering your friendship. It's his decision whether or not he wants' to except it.
Keep your head up and know that your race or who are shouldn't be a factor. We are all equal and if your roommate is holding anything like that in his head, I would just find somewhere else to live.
Stay who you are and don't let the ignorance of others bring you down. =)

i've been with this guy for a really long time now, and i'm finding it hard to find things to talk about. also, he is very hard to keep a conversation with.
what everyday things could i bring up? or what are some new things to talk about?
(link)
|
The great thing about a relationship is that nothing can never get old. The funny qorks that attracted you to eachother should be enough. Try talking about things you did through out the day. Or even try to talk about the things he's interested, even if that means you need to brows the web for a little help. Go out and try new things. If he's into sports, go to the batting cages. If he's into music, go watch a local band or talk about his favorite CD/band.
If he's really deep and into the whole coffee shop scene, go to a Poetry night and have coffee (if you don't like coffee, they always have other drinks!).
Nothing is ever boring if your really into the guy!
I hope I've helped! =)

okay. i want to start a band. i'm punk..but i'm afraid no one will take us seriuosly because we're girls....will we b taken seriously? and MAYBE be able to become famous.... (link)

is it actually possible for your cherry to pop without having full blown sex? because the real story was my friend had to go to the gyno. and she tried some things but never had sex with a guy, as in a home run, and if so, does the gyno. say anything to parents? i rate high. (link)
|
A coversation between a pacient and the doctor is completely 100% confidential. In no way should your doctor be allowed to discuss anything with your parents. YOU MUST TELL YOUR DOCTOR TO NOT TELL YOUR PARENTS. If you don't tell your gyno,and if your parents ask, the doctor is obligated to tell.
No you do not have to have sex for your "cherry" to be popped. Now days active teenage girls can have it popped by simply excercising, being athletic. If you get hit the wrong way or fall the wrong way on your vagina it is definately possible for you to lose your hymen.
But this doesn't mean your not a virgin.
Go to this website, it explains so much!

hiya. alright well im pretty good friends with these guy who we can call "andrew". well this year we have like 3 classes together and were starting to hang out a lot. Now i think im starting to have a crush on him, which is fine because hes sooo sweet and nice. The problem is a lot of people like him and I just don't think hed go for me. hes in my close group of like 8 friends and I dont want to like push anything but does anyone have any ideas that I can use to get his attention more and maybe get him to start liking me?
I'll give 5's for all answers (link)
|
Your going to have so many interfeirences in life and girls are your definate number one.
The trick is to flirt but not be too demanding.
Other girls will make it know to "Andrew" that they like him. Guys like to chase, so give him one.
Don't act too distant though, and don't be too persistant, you might scare him away.
Good luck! =)

Hey Everyone! Well in my town school has already started and I gate it w. a passion. lol. I'm trying to get my schedule re- done so I could take a couple of different electives because I hate mine. On top of my school problems my mom decided to bring home a huge brazzilion mastiff. (If ne of you have tht dof you know how big they get) Before my mom bought home this new dog I had a dog of my own- a miniature bishon frise. Now I feel like the new dog is trying to take the place of my other 1 and I HATE my new dog. I know it sounds mean but its true. I'm really stressed out about the new dog I have to live with and school in general. What are some things that I can do to relax and get all the stress out of my system?? Any help about the situation with my dogs would be really appreciated as well. Xo> Thnx in advance. (link)
|
You can't blame the dog if your stressed because let's face it, there are ways to distance your self from the animal. such as go to your room and shut the door. Put the dog in a different room when you want to go about your business in the house. There are ways to adjust, you just need to think smarter than the dog to go about it.
As for the school situation: That's the hardest thing to deal with. nobody likes to do things they have to. That's the thing you have to go to school. So try to make it as fun as possible.
Talk to your parents about your scheldule and have them talk to your your councelor to get her to change it. If your parents are too involved with other things, then go to your councelor and tell her.."Look, i need new electives, these aren't working out".
If that still doesn't work, complain to the teachers and explain that you didn't want their class, i'm sure they would be more than happy to give you a dismissal referal.
I hope I helped, I know your in a tight spot...Good Luck!

I'm starting to realize that I'm putting on weight. I am 13 and I weigh about 118 pounds. It's normal but i am getting a large gut ( my stomach slants outwards if you look at me from the sides ) and my thighs are massive. I want to watch what I eat but I don't understand about carbs and calories. How much of each am I supposed to eat and what type can I eat. How many meals do I eat and how many carbs should I have per meal. Please help me. (link)
|
Weight for girls is a very sensitive issue.
how much soda or carbonated beverages do you consume a day? Do eat until you are so full you have to unbutton your pants, or until you are satified?
These are question you need to ask your self.
Soda will definately get you. Cut your intake by half. You should also eat 5 small meals per day.
Make a scheldule for your self for when it is time to have a snack.
Breakfast, snack, Lunch, snack, Dinner. Don't eat after 7 or 8 pm. It will be harder for your food to digest when you go to sleep and will be almost impossible to lose that weight.
Keep your head up and whatever you may want, if you want it bad enough, it will happen! =)
