Well, let me clarify that I am not at all racist in any way, shape or form.
My mom is, though. She's always talking about African Americans as if they were criminals or something. She's always saying "Don't hang out with those black kids" or "Those black people are trouble/mean/not proper/etc" That's my MOM's view on them. Not me.
Well, I want to take a extracurricular activity & the only places that teach that activity are in the city/downtown. And my mom doesn't want me going there and stuff because "The place is filled with black people and it's not a safe/nice environment to go to." But I really want to take that activity and I hate learning through videos and DVD's. But there aren't any place else where I live. I've googled & looked on yellow pages. And my mom doesn't want to drive me there often. So what should I do about this?
I can maybe convince her that I won't be drugged or killed. [She always thinks I'll get drugged, raped, or killed even if I go to like a friend's house. Paranoia.] I mean she encouraged me to take on the activity herself but now that she knows where the schools are located at, she might be backing out of her words...
do you have any friends doing the same activity? if so, then you can tell your mom you'll walk there with them.

WEll ok my best friend is a girl and we have been through alot together and i really love her and dont want anything to happen to her and ill make sure that nothing does however, theres a problem she likes to get around and have fun with guys and it hurts/ pisses me off...by the way i dont like her more than a friends...she gives them head,let them finger her, and fucks them and im afraid one time somethings going to go wrong and she going to get pregnant...i want to convice her she dont need it but she just laughs at me and goes and does it anyway such as right now shes fucking a friend of mine in my basement...i dont no what to do...i want to tell her how i feel and also get her to stop!! Anythign in helpful! Thanks
i used to have a friend like this, and i confronted her about it, and we havent been friends since january so she obviously wasnt a very good friend, i know you care about her but you've got to let a person make their own mistakes, and with the pregnant thing, just casually mention to her, and ask "Oh i hope your using protection?" just so she knows you care,
if you have anything else that happens, leave it in my inbox :] hope i helped!

I am VERY self-conscious. For example, I don't like to eat infront of anybody(except my family). I don't eat lunch at school, because I don't like people around me watching me eat.
I'm a chunky kid, and I don't eat very much. But I know when i eat i can just mentally picture everyone saying, "Omg, ew, she's so fat. She should be eating those chips!" And the reality is, I KNOW that the people i sit with wouldn't say that. But at that moment, I still feel like they are.
Is there anything I can do to overcome my self esteem problem?
And don't say, "Just get over it." Because that won't work.
you've gotta be happy with yourself, first. if your still concious, its alright, have a late lunch at home, its normal; so many people deal with the same thing everyday.
hope i helped?

Ok so labor day picnics are filled with junk food. I did a bit of checking around & the one I'm going to is going to have the basic burger & hotdog deal. I want to really stick to my diet so I was thinking of definiately planning ahead. Since it's going to be in the afternoon, I was going to eat a bowl of cereal like I normally do for breakfast & then at the picnic I was going to take one burger and put a bit of ketchup to dip into on the side, no bun & no cheese. Then I was going to have corn on the cob with no butter & no salt. Would the burger with a bit of ketchup be overloading it?? I'm a very light eater. Does anyone know accurate nutrition facts?? I was told it was approximately 280 calories with 13g of fat. Any ideas/opinions?? Thanks!!
instead of having a burger, why dont you just stick with the corn and maybe have like some salad like potato or macaroni or something like that?

I was thinking about trying the Bare Minerals makeup (the loose power stuff), but before i do i was wondering if it really does work the way it says it does and if it's worth the money.
it works SO good , as long as you apply it correctly.

well i know this guy (jake) and he was my first kiss and my first friend in the nieghborhood but later on we got in a fight for 4 months but then he apologized to me. so we started hanging out again and one thing lead to another and we had sex (no. he didn't take my virginity. i felt bad for a while because he has a girlfrind in another state he's had for over a year. then after that, summer started and i wasn't home for most of it so we never saw eachother. then when school started we started hanging out again. we haven't really talked about it bt he's told me he's been thinking about us. i didn't really say anything because for a while i really like him but i've moved on and the incident was just a memory now. he's a great guy but i'm not sure how i should feel around him. i mean when i'm by him i feel protected andi care for him alot but does he feel the same. i mean he was there when my heart was shattered by the guy who took my virginity. (he pounded on him like crazy) he was the shoulder i cried on but he still has a girlfriend & i'm starting to feel like a side girl. but then i think to myself if i was just another girl why would he have stood up for me, why would he have been there for me and not just somewhere else? i'm not sure on where to be in this mess. am i suppose to care or do i forget? is he the real thing or just a fling after a year? help please!!
thanks =]]
from what it seems like, you both have feelings for eachother, you need to communicate with him and ask him these questions because then you'll know if you should continue it further
hope i helped!

My eyes have twitched before randomly, but never for a long period of time. For three days now, my eyes have been twitching sporadically. Is this something to be concerned about or will it eventually just go away?
I have been stressed by school lately, and just began wearing contacts. But I don't think contacts have anything to do with it.
mine eye was doing it to, i'm a very stressed person but mined stopped after 3 days, yours should stop soon, just relax

There are these two girls who used to be my best friends. Last year, they talked about me, made up stuff, blamed everything on me, & all of these other things so that they could get out of everything that they did & said about one of our other friends. They did that three times; I gave them three chances. Each time, they would apologize & say it wouldn`t happen again, but it kept happening. So, I just gradually stopped hanging out with them, but I was thinking the other day. When I was with them...I`ve never had that much fun with any of my other friends in my life. Plus, they would stand up for me if someone said something mean to one of us. No matter how much I cried cause of them, I also laughed just as much. I don`t know what to do. Should I just keep doing what I`m doing & staying away from them? Or should I give them another chance?
even if you have fun with them, theres plenty of other people out there that can do the same without treating you like crap. i think you should just keep doing what you're doing, and try to make new friends, or you could be "friends" with them again, but don't trust them and tell them anything confidental.

Is there a way to delete my internet history? Including deleting all past searches?
right click on the internet explorer icon, go to internet properties, and go to clear history, and then click on delete cookies and delete files.
then it will all be erased :)

oh hi! so, me and my boyfriend have been together for like 4 months. but he's an asshole. he has never called me, so our whole relationship is texting, even though he barely ever texts me. he doesn't respect me at all. he only wants to 'have fun', but then he tells me he doesnt wanna pressure me to do anything.
first of all, texting sucks. theres no emotion behind it so its really hard to communicate. if he only wants to have fun then to me it sounds like a lost cause, if you really like him and want to be with him, then give it some time. but if you feel like you'd be better single, then i'd say to break it off now before it becomes more difficult
hope i helped!

hey, 15/f. the guy is 18/m.
anyways, me and him have been friends since march, introduced by my good friend katie, whom he was in love with. they broke it off awhile ago, maybe two weeks ago. but they hadn't seen eachother all summer so it didn't matter to her, and he accepted the breakup, or so he tells me.
anyways, he got me a gift for my birthday and we couldn't hangout until last night. we went to the movies and i got my gift and hugged him and thanked him.
we went to see the movie together, nobody else. during all the romance parts (we saw Stardust), he would go 'aw' and we'd comment on stuff, and laugh. he'd kind of take sidelong glances at me during the movie, which i found cute.
at one point he leaned his head on my shoulder and i put my head on his for a bit. then i said 'you smell really good!' and he sniffed me and goes 'you smell nice too.' and throughout the movie he kept leaning his head on my shoulder and i even said 'im not a pillow!' and he goes 'yes you are!' haha.
but, all in all, he was EXTREMELY sweet. but the question remains: does he like me, or am i just a rebound? or is he just a major flirt?
it wasn't even a date and it felt like it. we really connected, i thought. and we had a wonderful time, i know, because he talked to me on aim and stuff.
also, another question (sorry this is SO LONG!), but, i am second guessing my feelings for him? could this mean i might not like him?
thank you! for those who help i will definitely be sending you a big thank you note. :)
its normal to second guess yourself because you want to make sure it would work out, from what you said it sounded like a connection was made, but it seems to me like its worth investigating a little further, hangout some more and communicate

well if you want your ears gauged, you buy the size of the gauges you want from like, hot topic and you stretch your ear, yourself.

im really confused about those pictures of tyra banks on how she's fat, is that true? because when i see her on TV she's skinny. thanks
she did a whole show once about it, she was saying that they edited the picture, and she was even wearing the bathing suit that they took a picture of her in, during the show. so no, shes not fat, at all.
