Si filled out about 5 applications and no where has called me. I REALLY need a job. I'm going to Florida in June with my friend, and I told my mom I would pay for it. My friends step mom works with the air port, so we will get a little discount on our tickets, but I still need about 400$. My questions are how do places choose who they hire? And what ideas for a job do you have? I'v put it in at food places and stores. I really need a job =[ (link)

Are you tolerant towards kids? You can take a couple of CPR classes or even babysitting classes for free in a town center, and it will make you really qualified. You can ask around the neighborhood and put up flyers to babysit. You can make a lot of money babysitting if you just work a lot and make the parents happy. Places choose who they hire based on references, and experience. You can make $400 by babysitting by June is you start soon. If you have any friends or family with jobs that suit you, ASK them! It's all about networking and experience. Someone you know will definitely help out, and then you have experience to get more jobs. Good luck!

16/f..i have a boyfriend..we've been together for almost 3 months..and he says I'm the "only one" yet..he flirts with girls in my face..acting like nothing is wrong when he talks to me after! he changed his myspace status to "single" but he still treats me the same..(like his gf) idk what's going on. whenever i walk by with him..holding his hand..if he sees a girl that he knows..she'll obnoxiously walk over to him..(as if not noticing I'm there) and go..Jimmy(not his name lol)!!!! HEY BOO! And she'll give him a greeting kiss..I won't respond to it..I'll pretend it never happened..though I'm a bit hurt inside. He talks about how hot girls are sometimes...though limiting that subject of conversation when I'm around. Whenever we talk..he doesn't sincerely admit how he feels about me..It's all physical. He talks about watching porn. Something you wouldn't do when you're around your girlfriend. It's as if he has NO regard towards my feelings..as if I'm SUPPOSED to hear that from him and stand it. This is my first boyfriend..so I'm not entirely sure. I'm not one of those people to speak when something is bothering them, so I'll keep it in. I didn't confront him about the comments he sends to girls on myspace..or his status. Or any of that. His ex-girlfriends also give me weird stares..and glances. I just want to know..In your opinion..do you think I'm just a make-out buddy for him? 3 months seems long enough to grow up..And he's my age, so he should at least TRY to act normally. I know I'll never be able to confront him..I'm too scared. He gets mad when I do that..and he might break up with me, lowering my already lowered confidence...
What can I do? (link)

I think your boyfriend is a total buttface! How could he talk about porn and hot girls in front of you? I think you should dump him--and fast. If you dump him first, he'll feel like shit but he deserves it. You need to find a better guy who will treat you with respect as his girlfriend. He's your first boyfriend, and you don't deserve that treatment.

14/F. okay so i dont no what is wrond with me. i used to be so happy, then i started cutting myself, idk why, and then on everything has just been going downhill from there. nothing ever makes me happy, and my recent mood change has made all me friends mad at me, and i can't tell them what's wrong because i dont even no what's wrong. im always tired and i never want to do anything. i dont laugh anymore and im never happy. depression and bi-polar run in my family, so im beggining to think i have one of those...i dontg no what to do and all i can think about is getting home and cutting and thinking of ways to kill myself. idk what to do...if anyone can help in anyway, that'd be great. so i'd like to no mainly if i have depression or what. thanks. (link)

I would say you have depression. I don't want you to feel bad about your friends, because they don't understand. You need to find someone you trust and love to tell how you are feeling. You need to get help from a professional! Life is such a great gift, and it's not good to just waste it. There are many crisis hotlines or suicide hotlines that can help. Anyone you trust can get help. You can get medicine for your depression (see a doctor to get diagnosed) so that you feel better. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Whatever might be wrong with you right now, CAN be fixed. PLEASE get help. Your life is worth so much more, you've got a lot to live for.
Good luck.

why does it seem like when I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, in the morning I feel more tired than when I maybe get four or five hours of sleep? (link)
| |
I have that feeling sometimes too. I think it's because when you sleep for a longer, more recommended time of 8-9 hours, your body is so relaxed and asleep that if you have to wake up, your body is so relaxed that you feel more tired.

my 28 year old sister just found out she is pregnant. she has a very healthy 5 yr old boy and 3 yr old girl. i think she only meant to have them and no more, so im sure this was an accident. however she is very excited and so are her kids =] the only thing im worried about is..she is a heavy smoker, and drinks often too. and..she smokes pot occasionally =[ shes not the best influence on her kids right now, but what im most worried about is that she wont be able to stop with the drugs now that she is pregnant. I know its addicting and hard to just..stop! but do you think the fact that she is pregnant might make her just stop? what do druggy people do when they get pregnant! im so worried she will continue this all, and have a baby with many issues. is this possible for her to stop and get healthy!?! i know everyone is different, but like what do most people do? thanks! (link)
|
A heavy smoker and drinker=most likely NOT healthy babies
It's bad enough if you have someone who eats junk food their entire pregnancy, but alcohol, smoking, and pot? That can be so unhealthy for a baby. You need to tell her the effects because she's much too excited to have a baby when there's a chance it can die. If she stops now, as in right now, and start creating much healthier habits, her baby could be healthy. And if she stops now, she might as well stop for the rest of her life. Do you understand how bad of an influence she is on her kids by doing those things? They could turn out just like her. Monkey see, monkey do. PLEASE talk to your sister, I don't want her to lose her baby or know that her kids turned into alcoholics.

What would be a good analogy for a cell membrane, a chromosome, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, and a Golgi Apparatus (link)
|
A house.
cell membrane= all the outside walls protecting the house, and keeping all the walls together and what not.
chromosome= the family in the house because they have characteristics and stuff.
cytoplasm= all the furniture because it fills the house. cytoskeleton=the flooring I guess, because it's basically the same as the cell membrane and it's just within that.
Golgi= a mailbox because it takes in letters and has them sent out (like proteins.)
Hope I helped.

Hey
I just got my iPod Touch. Thing is, I still haven't tried turning it on.. I used to have a MacBook pro - which crashed last week - and it's being repaired and it will take about a month. I have the Mac desktop at university and I can sync my iPod touch with that computer.
My question is: when i get my laptop back in a couple of weeks, will I still be able to use my iPod normally or do I have to reformat or something knowing that it's already synced with my university Mac?
Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I found nothing on the apple.com site about this..
Thanks in advance. (link)
| |
I don't think you have to do any reformatting. Whatever you have on your iPod now, I'm pretty sure you can put it on to your Macbook Pro iTunes once it's fixed. And I also know that you can use your iPod on more than 2 computers. I share iTunes between a Macbook and a Dell.

Adam and Eve were white right..? Then how did chinese/mexican/etc. people get here? And Adam and Eve didn't have any daughters..so did Cane and Able do it with their mom to keep the population growing?! (link)
| |
Adam and Eve aren't real. I mean, yeah, there were the first people ever made, but the whole story with the snake and the apple is supposed to represent sin and what not. I'm not too clear on how people got here, but from a religious point, God created people. Adam and Eve isn't real, so you can't question how other people came into the world, because no one knows exactly what race the first people were. You're taking the bible very literally, because a lot of the stories aren't supposed to be take that way. It didn't take God 7 days to make anything and everything, but it all represents something.

Alright this is going to be semi-long so only read if you are honestly interested. It's quite intriguing...HAA.
Alright so I am a freshman in high school. I made a best friend right away, (call her P). We are basically sisters for life. Through every hardship, it brings us even closer. She had one class last semester that had juniors in it, one in particular (call him M).
One day M and P and I went to hang out with him at his work...and had a really fun time. It was the first time I met him, and you could tell it was love at first sight...So ever since then, he got my number and we texted. Then he started calling me. We got along great! And this whole time he had a girlfriend, (call her A).
So we got so close as to him actually confessing that he loves me. It must have taken him some guts to do that! And not long after, I said I loved him too...and we both meant it. It was amazing. He always said the right things. And if he didn't he would know just how to turn it around and make me happy.
Again, he had a girlfriend. M and I "hooked up" a couple times...nothing too far at all..trust me. and yes I know that was wrong on my part but forgive me! We were in love and I guess I wanted to see him too badly to stop myself.
This was all a secret, for a couple weeks until I was just tired of it. I kept thinking with the help of my friend (call her R) to support me and realize that if he actually LOVED me he would dump his girlfriend and be with me. But the thing is he "couldn't just get rid of her". They had been going out over a year...And have had a few ALMOST break-ups. A is just too nice.
So I actually myself told him that he would dump her...but no! It wouldn't happen. Never did. It got so dramatic from there. We weren't getting along...and I even said to him if he didn't tell his girlfriend that we hooked up than I would..so I DID! It felt so much better to be the better person! But it wasn't worth it because she didn't care. She said herself "Things happen" and just went on with her life. They're STILL TOGETHER.
Everyone in our schools that knows either M or me knows what happened...it spread so fast. I mean our school can't keep a secret haha. and I don't care who knows honestly. Becuase I had to go through the pain of telling A ANNDD P. My best friend, who I LIED TO! :[
Anyway, he broke my heart more than once and I convinced myself I am over it...so many times. But randomly it strikes back at me and I don't know waht to do. I want to cry. and I kind of did earlier...but I stopped myself. I want to not care!
After everything that he "ended" supposedly, breaking my heart again...said it HAD TO even though no one wanted it to...and everyone thinks I mean KNOWS he made the wrong decisions, I finally decided to let it go and be his friend, no matter how hard that was for me.
But lately we have been drifting apart. I can't take it. I haven't talked to him in over a day, and it's already 8:15 PM and he hasn't texted me once. My thoughts wonder so much...wonder about if he cares that we don't talk. Or if he's thinking about me. Or if he's planning on talking to me later or anything..
What I'm asking for is advice for possibly getting over everything completely...or how to talk to him! I don't know anythign right now. I was put through so much and while it was tragic yet exciting...i loved it! I hated it too, but I want him back. At least as a friend.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU (link)

Honestly, I think this guy is too much. If he LOVES you, he would've broken up with her way before he confessed his love to you. You don't just keep a secret lover behind your girlfriend's back. You take one, and if you have 2, you're classified as a player. Tell him how you feel, but also I think you should set him straight. Tell him you're done waiting around, done with believing how much he seems to "love" you. You tell him that he has to choose who he wants, and if he chooses her, you keep your head strong, because I can tell that you're capable of it. He's been playing with your heart and that's not right to do to a girl who is in love with him. You tell him that he can either choose you, or be friends but close friends, not just drift away because it's hurting the both of you. You can't keep getting pushed around just because you love him! GOOD LUCK!

17 female!
im in 12th grade. and in school, i talk to the hockey boys alot :) i dont know why but im just attracted to them. well i have these two boys nick and ben in two of my classes. they both have girlfriends. in our third hour nicks girlfriend is in our class with us but i dont really talk to them in there but our last hour they are always yelling my last name and stuff. and like today they were like COME HERE! and then i was like what and bens like i have to ask you something. and i was like what? and hes like will you go out with me and i just start laughing and hes like no im serious im like yeah thats why your going out with your girlfriend. and hes like no i dumped her. i know he was joking but then nick is like well if he wasnt going out with her would you go out with him? i probably would but i was like no! hahaha and then its freezing in that class, and i asked nick if i could wear his hockey jacket during class and ben is like noo dont let her she makes me want to kill myself because she wont go out with me. like jokingly. but then he gave it to me and ben walked away and i took his pencil back to my "lab table" with me and sat down. well all of a sudden i hear ben go, where is my pencil!! and then, he comes up from behind me and wraps his arms around me and takes me off of my seat. and when we line up at the door at the end of class and talk, ben was just staring at me. and i was like what are you doing! and i pushed his face the other way. and when us three were walking they were like hey hold hands with me, and i was in the middle and bens like i'll take front and you take back nick and they start laughing. they are always like you going to hangout with us today? and im like ummm no! because i always think they're joking around. i never know when they are being totally serious and i dont want to make a fool of myself...but i dont want to make them think i dont like them you know.
do you think they are serious about anything they say or do!?
thanks so much (link)
| |
Honestly, I really do think they are serious. Well Ben at least, you know? They are being playful and joking-ish because, well, they're guys. I think you should go for it! You could talk to Ben alone, or definitely hang out with them because you could really find out if Ben wants to go out with you. I would go for it, what have you got to lose? If they are mean and act like they were kidding the whole time, it makes them the fools. GO FOR IT!! haha

16/f. parents aren't divorced..
so, I'm a sophomore in school. generally, i'm a good student and i have honors/ap classes and am part of clubs and activities.
lately, my mom's been really quarrelsome. she'll panic over the tiniest things and always blame them on me.
today we had a fight. i don't know what i want to be in life yet, but i do have an idea. my mom's been PRESSURING me SO much to find out. i told her i didnt know. she started yelling at me that i'll never succeed, what kind of life am i going to live, i'm an egomaniac and a little bitch who's a coward and has no friends and that chatting on the internet is more important to me. she just EXPLODED on me. now she's not talking to me and she said "next time you need something, dont even bother coming to me. im not your mother anymore." she just randomly talks about little problems with me that have nothing to do with what we're talking about but are clearly my weaknesses.
and i told her that i have 3 years to choose what i want to be, but she began comparing me to other smart and more mature girls.
why is this? =\ (link)
|
If I was you, I'd feel the same. You need to say something! Mothers DON'T call their daughters mean names and tell them they won't succeed. Is she going through anything? Although she's saying those things, she does seem to be really caring about what you're going to be. So first, I want you to sit her down and tell her to just listen to you. Tell her how you feel. Everyone has flaws. Not everyone knows EXACTLY what they're going to be, what they're going to do when you grow up. You're a sophomore, you might want to just start thinking about it, but you don't have to have a definite choice. Just tell her SOON, because you don't deserve to hear that from your mom. I think she must be going through something, so maybe you can both comfort each other.
*And when she explodes, don't yell back! She can use it against you. Just keep asking what she means and why, she'll soon realize her mistake.
I really hope you guys work it out, if you need any other help please drop something in my inbox!

16/f. my friend, 15/f...one of my best friends...has changed a lot since this year. reasons: i got a boyfriend and she didnt. i developed more and she didnt. stuff like that.
now, she's very mean towards me. she mocks me, she makes fun of me..and i cant trust her anymore. when she asks me to tell her something, i trust her with my secrets...and so i tell her.
she goes to her OTHER friends...and tells them everything i told her. even after i told her not to. she has a big mouth and is very obnoxious. she's turning into a bitch and i cant do anything about it. she even told me thatt she was jealous.
i cant have a person like that around me. yet..its so hard to end a friendship, but i feel that if i dont...she will hurt me so much in the end.
what can I do? (link)
| |
If she's doing this to you, I feel like you really are hurting inside. I would too. I had a friend who is not as skinny, developed, or liked by guys as much as I am, and she always got mad at me for little things that a normal person wouldn't be angry about. So I ended the friendship, and I feel happier, because I now know that she wasn't acting like a real friend. I don't think you should stay friends with someone who fools around with your trust, because a friend's trust is so important. I don't want to tell you to end your friendship, but do what you think would best for YOU. If you do end it, don't worry about how she feels because she was being a bad friend. Friends can be jealous, but they are usually playful about it, and don't do horrible things to show it. I think you'd be better off without her.

I don't have big boobs, I'm kinda/pretty much flat chested, and I don't have like the biggest butt, and I haven't had a bf yet because they all want girls with big boobs and who "put out" I'm not like that. So would a guy go out with me??
If any guys, even girls could make me feel better (I don't want sugar coating kthanks) and if you're going to tell me that there is someone out there for me and I'll find him one day, don't bother.
--thanks in advance :\

Guys your age want girls with big boobs and what not because...they're young and horny. They just want action. Would you seriously have a crush on someone because of their slut level, I mean, come ON! Honestly, look at models these days, a lot of the gorgeous ones are like, A cups, and are still considered gorgeous. If you make your hair look great and wear clothes that compliment your shape, the guys will come, I promise. I have a best friend, and she's like, a small B-cup, and she's considered hot even though she's got not much of a butt and not much of boobs. She's had a boyfriend for 4+ months now, and it's because of the way she'd present herself as a non-slut. She could even pass as a model. If you can present yourself so guys see you as gorgeous, but not because of chest and butt, they're going to realize that they're gonna get bored of just having big chested, I'm a slut girlfriends. If you look at Victoria's Secret models, they may appear to have amazing bodies, looks, and boobs, but it's really just the magic of push-up bras and thongs. My other friend, she is TOTALLY flat chested, no but whatsoever. Nothing. But she's got gorgeous green eyes that she matches with clothes so they're brought out more, and she's had plenty of boyfriends..and she isn't even an A-cup. One of my guy friends once said, "I'd rather have a gorgeous, non-slutty girlfriend with a small chest, than a big chested slut who puts on too much makeup." I'm not trying to sugarcoat you here, but I wanna tell you that guys WILL come, but you just need to know the right look to bring out your best features.

k so i reallly want to learn how to play the guitar but in this website it says all of the chords and thats great but, it doesnt really tell me the fingers i should use to play the chords like it doesnt say 1 2 3 or 4. and i dont understand the diagram can you explain it to me please
HERES THE WEBSITE IM TALKING ABOUT.
http://www.skynet.ie/~mel/hobbies/guitar/chords/G.php (link)

The farthest chord to the left would be your pointer finger, and then your middle finger, and then your ring finger. But based on where the note is, it's really all about the comfort of your fingers, and what would work the best so they don't start hurting a lot.
As for the diagram, each row of little squares is known as a fret. so starting from the top of the guitar, it's the first fret, then the second, then the third, and so on. So for example, the G chord, the first dot is in the third fret, the second one is in the second fret, and the last dot is in the third fret again. For this chord, you would put your middle finger where the first dot it, your pointer where the second dot is, and your ring finger where the third dot is. Like I said about where you're putting your fingers, you should try first to put your fingers wherever based on the distance, and then try to find the best place that is most comfortable. In the G chord diagram, you wouldn't put your pointer finger first, even though that dot is the farthest away, because you'd have your middle finger and pointer finger crossing each other.
If you want a website that numbers the dots for your fingers, try justinguitar.com I think. I looked up a picture of a g chord on google and it came with this:
http://www.justinguitar.com/images/chord_scale_images/Chords/Chord-O-G.gif
Hope I helped, and good luck!

i have a black and white picture but i want to make my eyes in color(there blue). i have picasa, but with that you can only do that to pictures that are color, and then turn them black and white. i hope that makes sense..is there any way to do that with picasa? or do i have to download something, because i dont have photoshop or anything. and please give me instructions how to do it! :D thanks! (link)
| |
Well, I don't know anything about Picasa, but I downloaded this free- 21 trial of this program called Recolored, and I'm sure that's what it's for, because I did it. Well, first, if possible, download the program, and then you have to have a colored picture, and then if you go to Help, you can easily find how to make everything but your eyes in black and white, I did it for my friend and it was pretty easy.

Are bothe these quotes said by Cherry Valance in The Outsiders book?
Quote 8: "I could fall in love with Dallas Winston. I hope I never see him again, or I will." Chapter 3, pg. 46
Quote 6: "It's not just money...We're sophisticated to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us." Chapter 3, pg. 38

Yup! Both by Cherry.

ichat got deleted from my macbook and i wanna reinstall it...i went to the site under downloads and it didn't seem to have it there...anyone have the link for it? (link)

You would have to use the 2 re-install disks that your macbook came with, if you have them, but I'm pretty sure it's the only way that worked for me.
