Hey, I'm Emily. I'm a nineteen year-old college student. I decided to make one of these things because my planned college major will be counceling of some sort.I'm not easily embarassed, so ask anything you want. No question is too personal, too strange, or on a subject that I wouldn't talk about.
I did have to choose three "favorite categories", but please don't think that my abilities are limited to them. I know some about eating disorders/body image, religion problems (I often have those myself), drug issues or questions (experience is the best teacher. . .)and, of course, I can help out with any sort of relationship with anyone.
I dabble in a little bit of everything.
I hope I can help you.

As dumb as this may sound, I didn't actually realize how horrible it is, when you eat chicken & hamburgers. I didn't actually understand the concept that for me to eat a hamburger, is for an innocent cow to just die. My friend sent me an e-mail with a video about fur trade in China, and how dogs & cats are skinned and killed everyday just for fur. But, it got me to thinking how horrible that actually is. I really have been thinking about it today, and I think just eating hamburgers & chicken is disgusting especially knowing that an animal died for that. I'm really considering turning into a vegetarian. Do you believe that this is a good enough reason to want to turn vegetarian? Thanks so much. ♥ (link)

I have many-a piercing. Lol. Most piercings are about 40-120 bucks, depending on what you get. Nipple piercings are amongst the most painful.

How would you describe love in your own words? I just want to know ho other people think about love and how they feel towards it.
(link)
|
There are many different kinds of love.
I assume you're talking about the romantic sort of love.
I would describe the perfect romantic love as the complete and total "meshing" of two people. When you love someone this way, you forget where you stop and your lover begins.

This might be kind of gross, but for the sake of my friend, please try to help...
I recently found out that one of my friends is purging or becoming bulimic. I'm pretty sure she is but i have no clue how she's doing it. I mean, i've heard different stories and i really want to talk to her about it, but i can't yet. My only question is, is there any kind of medicine/drug that she might be taking for her to do this??? I dont know much about this so i really need to know to help. I know that alot of people just say, "stick your finger down your throat", but i'm not sure if she's doing that. I know she's taken drugs before but i don't know if that can literally cause you to purge. She's had trouble with stuff before but i just recently found out about this. I need to know if what she's taking is causing this. If you have any idea or can tell me what the pills are, i'll appreciate it. I'm just really worried and kind of naive about all this. Please help!!! (link)

One of my best friends is struggling with bulimia. I know it's a very hard thing to watch. While taking high doses of some medication to make yourself throw up is possible, that's probably not what she's doing. She's probably gagging herself with her finger.
Be there for her, tell her she's beautiful, and try to find her some help.

I have this problem of disorganization, and handing stuff in late, at school, when I'm like an A+ student, but then sometimes for lateness I get dropped down 5-10 points. I really dont want to get bad grades because of my disorganization, and lack of neatness. My locker is messy, I keep saying that I'll do it tommorow, but never do, and the same with my room. Therefore, I get in trouble with my parents and teachers. A lot of times, while I'm doing homework (especially on the computer) if I'm bored, or not, I always seem to get distracted by something. Even my stories that I write sometimes dont even have any problems in them (not for school though) and I make the characters go off on tangents, like I do a lot of times in real life. Can someone give me some organization tips? All answers will be greatly appreciated. (link)
|
I'm pretty scatter-brained myself. The best advice I can give you is to WRITE IT DOWN. Write down everything that you need to do and the way you need to do it. Take it one step at a time. Clean your locker one day, your room the next
It sounds like you could possibly have ADD or ADHD.

My crotch incessantly itches, wich I know can be a symptom of an STD/STI, but I'm a virgin (no one other than me has touched it since I was a baby). I've had problems with urinary tract infections in the past. So should I really be worried? 14/f (link)
|
You could have a yeast infection.
Other symptoms of yeast infections are a burning sensation and cottage cheese-like discharge. You don't have to have sex to get one of these nasties. They are easily cured, though; one pill from the doctor usually does the trick.

How likely is it for you to get pregnant if you ONLY use a condom meaning you are safe but you aren't as safe as you could be because there is no birth control involved? (link)
| |
Used PROPERLY, condoms are pretty effective; a little over 99%.

how do i become popular just how (link)
|
How do you become popular?
Well, the textbook definition of popular is someone who has a lot of friends and is well-liked by everyone. To do that, simply be nice to everyone and get involved in an activity, such as a sport or band or theater.
The other definition is popular is to become "one of them"; a "preppy" person, and elitest; someone who everyone wants to be but never gets included with. To become one of them, just trade in your dignity for a pair of Jimmy Choos and a Louis bag.

There are a lot of really ugly girls at my school (( not to be mean to them becasue I think I'm ugly too )) that get really hott boyfriends, and some of them are juniors and seniors. I'm a freshman and I really want someone but I cant get anyone... ever... Can anyone help me? My friend Says I need to be more confident... HELP! (link)
| |
Try meeting people from different schools. I kinda had that problem too; it turns out that there was nothing wrong with me. The people at my school just sucked. lol.
|
|
My friend is a total hypocrite. She talks bad about me then she pretends like shes my best friend! she also thinks she's sooo cool because she has aboyfriend who goes to another school, i understand if she likes him but when you start putting IL(*) on the end of your away and website entries it gets kind of anyyoying. What's hould i do? (link)
|
Sounds like she's not being much of a friend to me. The most important thing about friendships, though, (and relationships for that matter) is communication. If you dont like something that's going on in your friendship, you most definitely need to talk to her about it. She can't fix the problem if she doesn't know there is one. Don't worry about her getting mad at you when you talk to her. Just tell her that you don't want to start a fight; you just want to know why she's doing the things that she's doing. You have every right to know why she's talking about you, so you have every right to ask.
As far as the boyfriend thing goes. . . even if this isn't her first boyfriend, she is going to change the way she acts for a little while; not around you, but around everyone. Her change in behavior since she got her boyfriend doesn't have anything to do with you, or him really. Girls do that because it means they're entering a new phase of their lives or they have someone new around and they're still adjusting.
Bottom lines: Talk to her about the problem you have with her saying things about you behind your back. Tell her it upsets you.
Give her time to get over the "my boyfriend is so amazing" phase. She'll realize that you were there before he was.

what are some good ways to remember not to get mad on the tennis court? i seem to have a temper when i play. also.. what are some good ways to keep your self esteem up and be confident? it's whats killing my tennis game and i could be a much better player without this. thanks and i rate well.

Sports anger issues?
Try yoga breathing.
When you inhale, concentrate on air filling up inside of your body from your nose, through your torso, and all the way through your fingertips.
Exhale through your mouth and try to picture the negative emotion being pushed out. I know this sounds hippie-esque, but it works.
Self-eteem issues?
My theater teacher once told me to "Fake it till you make it". Not confident? Pretend you are. Pretend you kick so much ass that you can't even stand it. Eventually, you'll talk yourself into the idea and it'll become truth.
Hope this helps.

My skin has so much oil on it! I cleanse my face and everything, but then it gets grosley shiny. I also have a problem with blackheads. What should I do? I feel I'd be pretty if those things were gone! HELP! (link)
|
Nah, you don't need to see a derm for oily skin. There's plenty you can do about shine and excess oil.
If you wear foundation, make sure that it's water-based, not oil-based. Wash your face with a cleanser made specifically for oily skin, and to control the shine during the day, you can use oil blotters or oil-obsorbing powder.
After you wash your face, try using a toner to suck up that extra bit of grime that gets left behind.
For blackheads, you'll want to use a scrub to exfoliate with about 3-5 times a day, depending on how sensitive your skin is. Don't waste your time with those strips that claim to pull crap out of your face. They're overpriced and they don't work. If you don't mind spending a bit of money, I'd reccommend a facial every 3 months or so. Most salons provide that service.
Remember though, that even if you have oily skin, you still need to use a moisturizer. Just make sure that the one you use (and everything else you use on your face) is not oil-based. Hope this helps.

(link)

You need to tell her; bottom line. Be her friend.

ARGH.
So I'm trying to learn guitar, but I can barely stretch a comfortable octave on the piano.
Are there any finger stretching exercises I could do to get my fingers to...you know, like, work? Lol...
I find myself using my middle finger a lot (right now I'm just working on memorizing which notes are where), so the other fingers don't really get a whole lot of streching.
I had a friend laugh out loud when he watched me play Moonlight Sonata 'cause my thumb and pinky fingers were like straight lines trying to stretch the octave.
So yeah. Small hands, wanna play guitar (electric, not acoustic...not even gonna try that), need finger stretches.
No chatspeak, please!
-Siren =) (link)
| |
You're in luck. You don't need big hands to play guitar; that's just a silly rumor. To strengthen your fingers, there are little weights that you can find in music catalogs like Musician's Friend; creatively enough called finger weights. To "stretch" them out, unfortunately, you're just gonna have to practice every day. It'll get easier with time, though. Good luck.
|
Has anybody on here had any experince with Everly guitar stings? (Specifically Acoustic phosphor bronze ------ .012 -.053) Are these strings durable? Have a nice tone quality? Overall? I'd like to have some opinions on these strings.
Thanks =) (link)
|
I have not either, but I'll agree with the person that left an answer before me; you can't go wrong with bronze strings. The tone they produce is beautiful.
I play with Mercurys myself.
Good luck.

ok so we have this thing at our school called mole day for chem (mole is a unit thing thats 3.00x10^23) but anyway we have to make a project either like sewing a mole or making a play on words w/the word "mole" like some of the ones last year were...
MOLEopoly
holy moly (like a priest mole)
molet(like monet)
etc etc
does anyone have any good mole day ideas??? and i can't sew lol (link)
|
ummm. . . .
Moleo and Julliet?
|
a guy that I like keeps giving me mixed signals. One day he'll he be the kindest loving man you'll ever meet and spoil me rotten, and other days I'll phone him up and he can be rude and downright mean.
I remember reading the book He's just not that into you, it said if a guy really likes you he would never be mean.
Do you think I have a chance with him? (link)
| |
Honey, why would you want to have a chance with him? He sounds like a jerk. Find someone that will treat you right ALL the time; not just half of the time.
