I'm Samantha, 17, and I love to help others. If I'm not sure about something, I will tell you, but I will tell you all that I do know. =D
advice
im 15 years oldd and im 5'0/5'1. what's the average weight, like what number should i be around? thanks so much =]
If you are in sports, and are fit, you will weigh more then a girl who doesn't do anything. Muscle weighs more then fat. I;m only 5'4 and weigh around 135-140 bc I have a lot more muscle then normal girls my height. Take that also into consideration.
When i turn 17 i want to move in with my boyfriend whose 18 . Would that be legal?
yepp at 18 you are an adult and can make your own decision however you want! : ]
Okay so I've recently turned 17 years old and i haven't had a job before. I did my school work experience (placement) for two weeks at a pet store and that was it. I've been looking for jobs, handing in properly made resumes, applications, visiting stores and asking for any positions but they all keep rejecting me. I know I've made my resumes properly because i used a template from a website and altered it for my preferences and got some family members to take a look just in case. The thing is, now I'm in my final year of school so i can only work casual, and no one ever seems to be employing!
In certain jobs I've applied and re applied over and over for casual jobs because the applications expire over so many months.
I dress well, particularly as i wear a school uniform so I'm always wearing neat, clean and ironed clothes, i speak well and smile a lot but i haven't even gotten an interview!
I live in western Sydney, Australia and even the small stores around where i live want people who have had experience which i don't have.
I need help with finding some work. I want a job for a lot of reasons, one is that my family doesn't have a lot of money so i have to make my own, particularly for things like university which i will soon be going into and have no money towards it. I also want to get out there and explore the 'working world' so that when I'm in uni i will be able to have some experience under my sleeve.
I just don't know what to do. Kids at my school younger than me find work easily and kids my age have already had a job for a few years. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find work anywhere and i really want to learn to become independent and start saving. Advice?!
Also i've even tried things such as seek and job websites and none seem to help.
When it ask for work experience, put down any babysitting you have done, put down the put store, if you cleaned anywhere put that down, anything that you did work for. now it would be hard to get a job with the way the world is these days. Try getting certified in CPR, and First Aide to make you stand out a little more then the other people. I only had to pay 5$ for both, and I'm an State tested Nurse aide and I'm only 17 and have a good job. But the classes for what I am are 800 american dollars but I got it for free by my school class. So whatever you can get certified in, do it. Try going to Assisted Living places, Thats what I do and I love it. You help the elderly with daily living, and once in awhile they will have a "mess" and you would clean them up. Its waaay better then a nursing home though. Good luck!! :D
I play softball all the time. ive been told i play too much. since its winter now i go inside so i can still play. anyway
a couple of weeks ago my knee was acting up so my parents took me to the doctor to see if anything was wrong. my doctor (who happens to be the most paranoid person i know) told us to go the hospital. when we got there they did tons of work on my knee and i got an MRI. 4 hours after we got there we found out i had torn my ACL. we've obviously seen more then one doctor about it and two out of the three said that i probably wont be able to play again. they told me that i could swim. i mean swimming isnt bad .... but i love softball ..... any suggestions about dealing with this loss...or any other sports i can do in place of my quote on quote "softball addiction" ?
thanks
I'm sorry it must not have sent my whole thing, but I tore mine when I was 15, and I love basketball. The next 6-8 months are going to be hell, and you'll feel like giving up, but just keep pushing hard. If this is your senior year in softball, you will not be playing, I'm sorry. But if it isn't and you still have years left in you, then just work hard in therapy, and when its time next year, kick ass! Swimming is REALLY good for your knee, esp. after surgery. good luck & if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!!
So I am getting a car for my birthday tomorrow and I wanted to know what kind of things that aren't kind of obvious that I should keep in my new car other then like oil, jumper cables, an ipod converter, and a cell phone charger?
It's a 1999 Camaro if that helps (:
you can actually buy a little kit. It comes with a flashlight, and other little things that you could need. I say keep pepper spray(if your a girl) just in case. Pen and like a small notepad that could just fit somewhere. Hope I helped!
Hello! So, in two weeks I am going to Universal Studios in Orlando with a group of students from my school. I really want to have a good time on the trip but I'm scared because I know everyone is going to want to ride rollercoasters and things but I might be too big to ride anything. I mean, 2/3 years ago at our county fair, the bars on rides fit me tightly and I've gained 100 + pounds since then so I can almost guarantee I won't be fitting on any rides. I don't know what to do!! If I try to get on a ride and am told to get off, I'll be humiliated. If I don't get on any rides with my friends I'll look like an idiot cause I'll be the only one that didn't get on anything and again, I'll be HUMILIATED. :'( What am I going to do????
depending on what side of Universal you go on, you'll have fun. The Hollywood side I say would be a lot of fun for non riders, but the adventure side has a lot of rides. Just see what side your friends were planning to go on also!
this is not really a question, but I think Stephenie Meyer should write a saga about Renesme and her life with the Cullens, because when the saga ended I was really sad. Aslo if she writes the saga it will most likely end up a movie.
the book that she started to write that got out to the public on the internet has been rewrote and will be released soon I'm sure. I forget the name tho. Go to her website to see more details
HI!
Well. I really want to know what types of colors would look good on me.. like in eyeshadow , blush.. and etc. I am really just started wearing makeup...I am 13 and I don't really no all that much about makeup. Well... I have blond hair (golden or like ash blonde..) and blue eyes. Any tips and stuff would help. Thanks!
For eyeshadow browns looks really nice and it beings out your eye color. Go to wal mart, and I forget what kind of make up brand, but they have make that matches the color of your eyes. I hope I helped!
Okay, im 15 and im finnaly allowed to get a tattoo. Im allowed to go once i figure out what and where i want this tattoo. Thing is I HAVE NO IDEA! I've loked at probably a million tattoos and cant decide.. also i have to be able to hid it from other family members. Anyone know any good websites or ideas on what i should do ? plus where i should get it !
Get a tattoo that will mean something. I have angel wings on my back in memory of my grandma. So try to make it mean something to where you wont be regretting it down the road. Get it on your hip or on your upper leg. There are not many places where you can hide it since you'll be in a bathing suite and stuff in the summer. good luck!
My friend & I would like to start a summer job ... In the summer .. Anyways, we were wondering where we could get a job. Besides McDonalds, Babysitting, Paper Route, Etc. Like, somewhere where we can get Hired. If it helps, we live in Canada . & We're turning 14 .
Many Thanks :)
Sadly, you can't get hired unless you know the owner of the business. The Child Law states that kids under 16 can not get hired unless it is a family owned business and/or a farm. Now as the girl under me said, she works as a pet person. Chances are she gets paid under the table bc if she were to get a pay check, her boss would get in trouble bc she is under 16. For all that, I can't suggest a place to get "hired" bc there isn't. If your parent knows an owner of a business (good friends with them) see if they will ask them if they have some jobs around the office or something that needs done. You more then likely won't get paid much, but if you do it everyday, it'll add up!!
Is there things you can try besides going to a doctor to get pregnant? Like old tales or something. Something you guys have triend. My fiance and I have been trying but nothing? What's going on?
I have never tried to have baby, but I'm in a nursing class. We we're learning about it, and it usually best to try to get pregnant 14-18 days after your period has started. That is when your eggs have dropped and are ready. Its different with every women, but maybe try that! Remember the eggs live for 24 hours, but sperm lives up to 74 hours. So try a couple days before the 14 days, so you'll have that much more of a chance! I hope I helped, and good luck with everything!!
Well I just parted ways with a very amazing guy. We dated for two months, everything was perfect. I liked him more and more with each day (which never happened for me before, I usually stop liking the guy as soon as he likes me back). We have fooled around two or three times. I broke it off with him because he is 6 years older than me, and I'm 17, and I knew I was going to get hurt in the end because we are at such different points in our lives, its inevitable we would have parted ways eventually anyways. Also, I didn't want him to get in trouble, because things were getting very serious. And if anyone were to find out what we did he would be in severe trouble for that.
This happened yesterday, all of a sudden. It was a gut feeling I had to go with. He understand completely and said it was a good choice and he's glad I did that. I'm glad, too, in a way, but I'm just so sad now. The semester ends in less than a week, so I will only see him once again, and then that's it, he will be out of my life forever. And I'm really sad now as I think of what could have been between us.
I guess I just need a pep talk. Don't bash the guy please because he is an amazing person, he's not a creep for liking a minor, and I initiated a lot of the sexual things we have done. Oh, and the relationship was much more spiritual then physical. Oh, and I'm turning 18 in March, in case you needed to know.
I agree, its great that you got to feel the way you do. But you are very right, you two are in completely different spots in your life. In a couple years, he'll be ready for marriage, when in reality, you'll be in your 2nd year in college, and not ready.(I may be wrong) I don't think anyone should call him a creep, esp. bc they don't know him like you got too. When you see him, wish him the best of luck with everything. I'm sure that he will also miss you, but I think everyone can say, its the best thing. Good Luck with everything, and don't worry, you'll find another amazing guy.

so i need to lose weight, i need to feel better. ive been so tired and im sick of it. i want to look and feel better.
a few questions:
-what kind of vitamins are good for me to take everyday?
-for breakfast, what could i eat besides cereal? is there anything fast to make? i was thinking about making one scrambled egg and a glass of juice and vitamins. would that be good enough?
-what is something really healthy that i can bring to lunch, besides salad. i dont really want to bring anything to school that can spoil in my locker, just something really light that wont make me too full. and not really sandwiches either, because i get sick of that too quick.
-what are some healthy snacks that i can eat, besides yogurt, veggies, and fruits?
-how much water should i drink in a day?
-is there any other drinks that are healthy besides water?
-should i completely cut out junk food, or have it once or twice a week?
i want to lose weight, but i want to be healthy. i dont wanna starve myself like i already am. im slowly stopping the pop drinking, and sticking with juice and water. ill have a pop once in a while. for dinner, i just eat what my mom makes me, but im gonna start eating in smaller portions.
also, what is a good exercise plan to go on?
i have a treadmill and a bike, how long should i go on each every day?
i could use loads of help from people that have lost a lot of weight, and it would help if some vegans could tell me what they eat. im not turning vegan but i like some of that kind of food.
please any advice can help!

-For the Vitamins, the Flintstones are good for anyone. But don't take to many vitamins they can be bad for you at a point.
-Now This might be long. You want your meals to be small. You really should aim to eat 5 meals a day. Small ones! Breakfast and egg would be good (protein) juice and some other small thing. Then you would like to eat a "snack" 2-3 hours later. Dry nuts, or an apple and so on. Then lunch(small and healthy tho) 2-3 hours later snack, dinner then snack before bed. But make your snack a couple hours before bed.
-For lunch(again none of your meals should be big I'll explain why later) Apples, bananas, fruits, yogurt, anything doesn't have a lot of carbs or sugars.
-Healthy snacks. Apples are really great for you and your teeth haha. Dry cereal that isn't full of sugar. Just put it in a baggy. Cheese sticks are great. Fruit smoothies that are made the right way with the right kind of milk and stuff.
-You should really aim for at least 8 glasses of water. I usually drink two in the morning while in school. For breakfast then just to drink. You can even drink propel if you hate reg. water like me. Switch pop to water for meals. It doesn't taste all that bad. Drinking a lot of water will help clean out your kidneys, which if you drink a lot of pop, reallly need to be cleaned out.
-Fruit smoothies again. Propel, Milk is good, but not to much of it. Really water is your best bet. There might be more, but thats what I know and drink.
-You really don't want to cut it out all together. Bc at some point your body will just want it, and you'll give in and just forget all about the healthy stuff and just go back to junk food everyday. Having it one day a week will make you look forward to it. mine is sundays, bc sundays are lazy days and it just makes sense to me haha.
-For exercise, you don't really wanna do everything EVERYDAY. Every other day is really best. Start with a fast walk the first week for ohh.. I say 20 mins? or even more! Next day, bike for 20 mins or more. Next day or same day, work on your abs. Some things you might wanna get. Jump rope, small weights to do squats with.
Now the thing with exercising is, you want to switch it up everytime you do it, bc your body will sooner or later, get use to it, and it wont do anything for you after awhile. (not right away but like a month or so after doing it, it wont do much for you)
OKay now for small meals and not big ones. It deals with your sugar. You wake up and your sugar level is low, so say you eat a lot for breakfast. Will that spikes your sugar up high, meaning your body releases a lot of insulin, then your sugar gets really low. Then by lunch you neeeed food, so you eat a lot again, and the same thing just keeps happening. Eating more small meals, really helps your metabolism. It makes it speeds up which helps you lose weight in the long run. Eating only two meals a day, slows it down and you hole bosy system slows down and your body holds on to the food you give it, making you gain weight.
I really hope I helped! :D
I want to get a short quote by my hero Henry Rollins tattooed on me. He is my absolute idol and has been for 5+ years, so don't bash it. lol. I was thinking either "I Don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride", "When you start to doubt yourself, the real world will eat you alive", or "Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Learn from it and move on."
I'd like to find more super-short quotes by him...(hint!)
But, since I'm set on this, I need suggestions of where I should get this. I already have a tat across my upper back, by my shoulder blades, and I don't want a tramp stamp. Suggestions?!?
Thanks
Okay, well I'm guessing your a girl, haha. So I think on your foot would be cute, if you find one that is short enough. Or even across your ribs!
here are some, but they might not be what your looking for, maybe so, idk lol
“It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.”
“Half of life is f*cking up the other half is dealing with it.”
“Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.”
“Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.”
“It'll destroy you if you try to make it mean anything to anyone but yourself.”
“Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.”
So, there's this guy that I've been interested in for a while. His name is Aaron and he hangs out in the same group of friends as my brother. He knows me and my name and we've talked briefly before, but nothing extensive. Maybe a year or so ago I heard he thought I was cute. How exactly can I start talking to him? I don't have any class with him and he's a year older than I am. We're friends on myspace and I have his cell number but I don't know if it would be too bold to just start texting him. I'm good friends with one of his guy friends, so I might ask his friend what I should do, but I'm not entirely sold on this idea. Help would be appreciated! thanks
I would first ask around to see what he thinks of you. If its a green light, then I would message him on myspace or text him. Just be like Hey Aaron, its ___. Whats up? then just get it going. Gooood Luck! :D
f/16
so i don't know why but i always feel insecure?
people will flirt around with me and be like 'hey babe' or 'hey cutie' and i can't stand it! i never know waht to say to it. it makes me feel like people are just throwing it arond like its nothing-even though it really isn't. i've been hurt before by jerks that have messed around me with and i'm always trying to stay away from relationships.. i always chicken out of going on dates and everything. i don't know what to do or how to get it so i'm not such a chicken and insecure anymore...
any ideas?
Well if you don't like it, I don't think it will change. I don't really like it either. But when someone does say it to you just be like "Hey" in a flirty way or not. For the dating part, just go out on them! As long as you know the guy is a good guy, I don't see the harm in it. But if he's known as a "player" then don't. Just keep your eyes open and you'll get lucky!!
what would give and average 16 year old guy a boner?
thanks :)
anything really. Touch around his thighs, be soft on his stomach, make out with him. Really anything goes hahaha

I got my tragus pierced about a month ago..and i think its infected...its kinda red and it gets crusty all the time and sometime it bleeds....what should i do? i dont want to take it out
I have mine done, and my friend also got hers done after me. Mine never did that, but hers did. Its normal. Have crust is a good sign bc it shows its healing. I used Neosporin and mine never got infected or anything. Ontiments are not bad for piercings, I have 20 of them I should know a thing or two. I put the Neosporin on the hoop and moved the hoop in and out of my ear to get the inside of the piercing so it has some inside of it too. And just put it around it. Good Luck! :D
we need names, i mentioned so many to my boyfriend he's turned down them all these are some of them so nobody names these ones..
- Joel, Kyler, Ryton, Rylan, Lyndon, Mason, Gage, Cooper, Chase, Tristin, Brighton, Lance, Allen, Aiden, Hayden, Shawn, Shane, Silus, Landon, Zayden, Keaton, Keegan, James.
those are ones he does NOT want.
i really love the name Joel, but i can't get him to like it.. so we need more names the middle name is going to be David, or Daniel ( family names)
if we have a girl we both want Madelyn Karen.
last name would be Brazee.
PLEASE HELP US WITH BOY NAME! =]
I like the names Payden, Landon, Marcus, Ruckus i hope I helped:D
