I'm tired of songs without depth. Can someone please list some amazing ones...? Ones that I like are
The Earth Song-Michael Jackson
and
Let The River Run-Carly Simon

They don't have to be sad: they just have to have some decent emotions put into them!

Thank you!

I'd go with anything by jimmy eat world,The panic channel and my personal favorite Nirvana:)

Okay so recently I have been thinking that I am BiPolar. Ive searched on google like all the signs and symtoms and I have some. But im not sure. My parents are in total denial..ive told them many times that i think im bipolar and they wont believe me. Im 16 female by the way. I want to see what you people think.

This is like really hard to explain for me..so i will try my best. I have racing thoughts..pretty much all the time..especailly when i want to fall asleep. My mood does change quickly..my parents even notice it but they think its nothing. When i feel like overwhelmed..like i feel like "im at the top of the world" i hate it!! Like i try and think of things that will make me feel at the bottom of the world. Its weird. I critize like everyone mostly..but just my family usually. Sometimes i cant even remember saying hurtful things to my parents..they just come out of my mouth. Sometime i just want to be alone all by my self instead of hanging out with people. I think of my self very highly like (i dont want to sound conceited or anything). Those are most of my signs that i think can relate to this disorder. So what do you all think?
Thanks for reading.

It is quiet possible that you are bipolar. even if it's not complete polar opposite moods it could be minor. also it could possibly be manic deppresion which would explain the happiness that is so closely coupled with negative thoughts. I suggest that you ask your parents to take you to see a psychiatrist once. the thing is bipolar disorder has become very popular as a diagnose so it would not be hard to get a psychiatrist to diagnose you with it and provide medication that would help with it. of course if the medication didn't work then you might want to explore the possibility that it isn't bipolar disorder and then consult your psychiatrist. Either way you need to get your parents to at least consider the possibility that you are bipolar. I hope that this helps:)

What are some good songs to encourage someone who has recently gone through a break up?

Not sad, "I want you back" type songs, but songs that help you get over that person.

Thank you!

Well it's a bi clique but there is always the classic song "I will survive which is all about being strong after a breakup and stuff like that:)

so my bf and I are both pretty shy when we're around each other. We hung out the other day and my one friend was practically forcing us to hold hands. what should i do to get this friend to mind her own business? and how do i overcome some of my shyness around him?

thanks in advance. :]

I would try confronting your friend very nicely and just tell her that you and your boyfriend want to do things your way and if this friend would please stop because it makes you feel uncomfortable. as for the shyness thing the best cure for that ,and i know it's clique, is to talk to him about it. lay your feelings for him out on the line and let him do the same so there is no question about the level of attraction between you two. it may just be that you can't really figure out exactly how much he cares for you and therefore can't react appropriatly. you kiss your mom on the cheek because you love her as a parent, you kiss someone you like on the lips timidly cause it's something new and exciting, you hold hands lay on each other and kiss pationetly because both people in the relationship feel that they understand the other and are sharing something very special. it all depends on the feelings involved. I hope this helped:)

My name is Angela, im 20 years old. I have a 10 month old son. Im in an emotional bind. I have no idea what to do. Im engaged to an amazing man. I love him so much. The problem, im emotionally attached to someone else. This is the second time this has happened. Ive known my fiance for 6 months. Ive known the other guy for 4 years. I dont know what to do. Should I leave my current fiance for the other guy?

Okay heres the thing. This guy your marrying is an amazing man and if your really willing to try really hard to make it work them i'm sure it will. But if your feelings are way more attached to this other guy and you know that it will never change I really feel that you should leave your fiance only if you know that the feeling is mutual. In the end it could cause less heart ache for everyone. you end up with a man you truly love and don't live and you don't make an amazing guy and yourself miserable by living an empty relationship for several years in which he has feelings for you that can't be reciprocated. Either way it won't be easy but you'll definetly make it through it. You'll really want to think for a while and weigh your pro's and cons. I wish you the best of help and truly hope that this helped you out even a little:)

So I haven't been with my boyfriend for that long, and right now our relationship seems great everyone thinks we're really cute and perfect.
but lately, i feel really scared that he might meet someone prettier and break up with me for someone else.
how can i get my self esteem back up?

Okay so your definetly not alone. its really common but i can definetly offer you some advice. first off you have to understand that the reason he is with you has only a little bit to do with why he likes you. if you were the most beautiful girl on earth but were as dumb as a doorknob and as shallow as a puddle(sorry bout all the metaphors) he wouldn't date you. this means your unique. he will never find a girl like you no matter how hard he looks. plus you have to understand that chances are very good that he feels the same way. having an amazing girlfriend is...well amazing but it can also be very stressful because there are other guys out there other then him. your both really in the same boat so don't worry about it and stay positive. don't think "he might find someone prettier" think "he's with me right now and nobody else and thats what matters". I hoped this helped:)

I got into trouble today for my cell phone at school, my teacher didn't make a huge scene but he still yelled at me and made sarcastic, crude comments. I talked my way out of the situation, but for some reason I had an anxiety attack. My mind keeps replaying him yelling at me, I feel so guilty. This happened once before when I got into trouble at school for putting down a teacher's idea. Whats wrong with me? Why can't I get this out of my head?

This may be just a subconscious reaction to the situation based on everything you know about teachers. the main thing you know about teachers is of course that they teach.When you were caught and yelled at it's possible your subconcience felt like you were being taught that you were wrong and that since it's a teacher their opinion must be solidified more in fact then just annoyance at the fact that you were ignoring him. plus it never feels good to be yelled at by a teacher. it can be a very humiliating teacher. the best thing i can recommend is to go and talk to the teacher or just apologize. I may be completely wrong but i hope that i helped a little:)

Hey! Thanks for helping me but since you said you didn't completely I'm going to elaborate for you! He and i are best friends and we have liked each other on and off for the last year. Pretty much as long as we've been good friends. He and i do church together like volunteer and are really active in our youth group. He's a lot like me and really understands me which practically no one does. Sometimes (or most times actually) it seems like he's the only one who understands me. Anyway he works at another place and it's a Youth Help Center for teens introuble and stuff (i've never been there) and it's run by a Christian couple and it's a Christian place so the workers can't date until they're 16. It's the rule.
We really like each other but last year dated each others best friends. He redecided not to date anymore because last year he majorly slackd off and kept dating when he wasn't suppossed to. I don't want him to brake this rule. I really want him to do it because I know it's importnat to him and i really care about him. I won't let him brake it. But there isn't a rule about kissing!
He might be taking me to Homecoming as long as he's allowed (he's checking) but i just really want to kiss him. This summer at this 1 time he was really getting close to me and stuff and hitting on me, ect. but at the time i didn't like him so it was awkward. He also asked me out but since i knew he didn't really mean it i said let me think about it and a week later we talked and decided not to.
Another thing is EVERYONE says we are perfect for each other and should totallygo out. Even his MOM said it!!!! I really want to too but I have to wait until spring (his B-day).
I want to kiss him but if i just do it randomly do you think he will freak out? I know he likes me and i really want to try so that's why I want to know how to get him to think about it and really want to. Do you know any ways to bring it up without mentioning us doing it. Like a way to make him subconsioucly think abut it or somthing- I know that's weird but whatever. Thanks so much and sorry it's so long but like i said-it's a long story! lol :D

Hey no problem. I love helping. anyways back to the matter at hand. first off yea totally wait. it's great that he's doing this and it's good to follow through with these things plus it's kinda like seeing christmas presents under the tree and knowing that there something awesome but also knowing that you have too wait and that even though it's hard you know it will be all worth it when on christmas day you rip open those presents and low and behold it is that dress you wanted(although personally I've never had that experience. it's a little far to go for a metaphor but you get the point. okay onto the second part of this. You could definetly be friends with benefits until you can date. it's like "we're friends but we can benefit each other by kissing". Unfortunetly there is no real way to tell somone you want to kiss them without telling them you want to kiss them(if there was it would have made my first kiss ten times less akward) but there are definetly ways to give off signs that something could happen. have him over to your house and dress and put makeup on in a way that says "i didn't do this because i like looking at myself in the mirror" watch a romantic movie and get under some covers with him too keep warm and lay your head on his should or grab his hand and then quickly let go at a sad part. all of these things are clear enough to make him think "what is her motivation behind this maybe I could try something" but doesn't flat out say "KISS ME NOW!!!". then when you get close and turn to look him in the eyes and moves towards every signal that you have sent him will kind of click. I'm not saying this is a sure fire way to get him to kiss you but theres definetly no harm in trying them and who knows ;)
anyways I hope this has helped you out a little:)

Hi, I'm 17 and I have always had problems with understanding something example math. I'm in special ed and I'm not happy I want to be normal just like all the other regular students. Also every test I take usally I fail. Now I have to take a test for college like the sat I mean I dont know what to do it seems I was born wrong. But I mean I am levels behind how will I have a chance to succed in life. And I always wanted to be, please tell me what I can do if I goto college I'm going to fail and want succed at life.

Hey. so in terms of the sat's trust me your just as normal as anyone else. for me and tons of other students just don't get math. luckily the math is probably the smaller of the two subjects on the sats. in terms of college sat's have become a minor part of who gets accepted. alot of it is based around activities,personality, interest, community service and other things like that. also there are definetly plenty of very good colleges that don't even require sats. if you want you can always look into taking an sat 2 in another subject that you are better in. also go check out the ACT's. alot of colleges are excepting these now. I really don't know much about the acts but apparently it's different from the sats and from what i've been told it's easier.
Hope this helped:)

I basically over react to everything i do not know why, i love my boyfriend with all my heart he is my first priority always but i seem to get jealous and stubborn and cry when he doesnt do something i like, like when he would rather hang out with his friends i break down and cry or when he cant hang out with me because he has a game , i dont know what my problem is, any way i could be more relaxed and not so controlling?

It's probably just because of the attraction you feel towards him. you love him and would be completely and utterly heart broken if he ever did anything to hurt you. even when he's with his guy friends it's possible that subconciously you may feel threatened by the fact that he's not with you. The best thing i can tell you is that (although i don't personally know) i'm sure i loves you as much as you love him and would never do anything to harm you. plus i'm sure that even when he's with his guy friends he's thinking of you. It's not oncommon for the subconcious to take over in a realationship.Just understand that a relationship is completely give and take. although you to are going out and you are very important to him your are not the only person in his life. Let him have your trust and i promise he will reciprocate and appreiate you that much more for understanding.
Hope this helped:)

i'm a guy. 15 years old.

i have never had a girlfriend before. i have asked someone out before but got turned down. im 99% sure its not my looks (i dont look that bad at all), and its not the people i hang out with (i guess you could say i chill with the "cool people" or something) but girls just dont seem to fall for me.

theres this girl i really like in my art class, and we talk to eachother for a few mins almost every day. im pretty shy when it comes to girls so she always starts the convos. there are always theese awkward silences when we're talking that last for like 15 secs. im pretty sure im gonna ask for her number tomorrow at school, but how should i ask her? and if i get her #, how should i ask her out to the movies (like texting or calling)? and when should i ask her (after tomorrow we have a 4 day weekend)?

if she turns me down its going to be really weird and awkward between us since we have the same class together for the rest of the year.

thanks

Hey so in my opinion the numbers thing is really more for when your like at a club and you meet someone who you like. It's different for school.Here's my advice. When your talking to her and there's one of those akward silences start telling her something like you saw something funny online that she has to see.If she seem's even slightly interested tell her that you can't remember the site and will send it to her through aim. this gives you a natural reason to get her a.with the aim address at some point be like "Oh hey I'm kinda free today and i was think of seeing this movie(insert name of movie) wanna come?" Hopefully she'll say yes. I wouldn't try anything at the movies the first time. when the movie is over and your about to leave say something like"That was really fun we should do it again somtime" If shes says something like "yea we should" then you can be like"oh by the way whats your cell number?" and then work your way from that point. It's a bit elaborate but I hope this gave you some ideas or helped even a little:)

Hey! Ok, there is this boy and he is my bgf and we both like each other. He can't dtae until he's 16 (long story but not because of parents) but i really want to just see what it's like to kiss him. I would really like to. What are some ways to get a boy to want to kiss you. Like ways to make him want to and think about it and then not care if we kiss. Please give me some advice! And i rate!!! :D Thanks!

In all honesty he probably already does want to kiss you if he likes you and you like him. you just have to wait for the right moment and it will happen.Usaually a dark place like if the lights are of and you two are watching a movie or something like that. I don't think i understand the whole situation but i hope this helped a little:)

I'm not going to go into detail, but there's this guy who really seems to think that I'm going to wait around forever for him. Newsflash: I'm not. Basically, he seems to think that I'm just going to be his loyal princess, or whatever, but he seems to get alarmed when it looks like I'm distancing myself from him.

I wanted to get the message across to him without being overly rude, so today, when I passed him (I usually strike up a conversation FIRST) I said absolutely nothing.

I saw him do a double take, almost like he was waiting for me to say something, and when I didn't, he was like "What the fuck?"

I've tried this before, and the next day, he actually took a different route to class to avoid me.

Do you think this will help him appreciate me? I know you're probably going to say "Why don't you talk it out with him?" Let's just say we aren't at that point yet.

Any other suggestions are helpful.

So "What the fuck" basically is like saying how dare you not start the conversation. I really think that he's not worth your time. If he's going to avoid you and not try a different approach then that tells you what type of guy he is. hope this helped:)

So my boyfriend broke up with me, and I know it was for another girl, but I'm not supposed to know. And he broke up with me so suddenly without giving me any explanation. I am so hurt. So yesterday I worked up the courage to call him and ask him why he broke up with me. I made it clear that I deserved to know why. And I said stuff like please tell me because nothing could hurt me more than how I feel right now. But he refused to tell me. So he told my friend that he was mad at me for calling. I think that he has no right ot be mad, I think that if anyone should be mad it should be me. I just don't understand.

Okay so there ar two sides to this. first off your right he really doesn't have a reason to be mad at you. Is mind set might be "I broke up with her why cans she understand that and leave me alone". It's possible that he had feelings for you but not the same feelings and didn't want to hurt you more by leading you on. You may have liked him alot while he might have only just liked you. It's hard for a guy because either way the girl is going to get hurt and then to explain our reasons might even worsen the hurt. But don't worry about it you'll definetly find someone else. Hope this helped.:)

Okay so I'm 14 and I have a really hard time flirting wiht 17 year olds. Any advice?

Honest to god opinion... don't. for a guy or a girl it's always kinda weird to have someone way younger then you flirting with you. Guys and girls sometimes even get made fun of for been hit on by a way younger person. I don't mean to sound mean at all it's just that it's really not worth your time. I'd stick with 14 and 15 year olds. hope this helped:)

okay, so there is this guy in my class. and we started talking this year and i think he flirts with me and i told someone else the things he says and they think he likes me too and i like him. what are some things guys do when they like a girl because i want to be certain. also, what are some flirty things i could do back.. like when i talk to him? what are some good things to talk about? and my friend is having a party soon and he might be there so what should i do if he is? thanks. :).

okay so guys are really not the greatest at communicating our feelings towards a girl we(and we apologize for that ladies) mainly cause guys usually only show they like a girl when they are certain the girl likes him back. there are ways to get him to show this. start telling him things that maybe you don't tell too many other people. make him feel special and like he's somone you would go to for help or advice. also tocuh is a big part of flirting. nothing dirty. like jokingly hug him when you see him or sit on his lap or even just lean on his shoulder. hope this help.:)

i havnt had my first kiss yet and i want it to be speacial. i dont know where or when or who it will be with but does anyone have an idea on what would make it speacial???

A real common misconception is that for a first kiss to be special it has to be in a romantic setting after candle lit dinner. This isn't really true. your first kiss will be special if it means something. by this I mean you have to be emotionally invested in it and your girlfriend/bofriend has to be the same. it can just be like your fooling around with someone and then you kiss. if you want a really good first kiss it has to be worth something more than just a kiss. hope this helped.:)

My friend gave me her old
Sansa m240
and it still has some of her old songs on there
and they dont show up
when i plug it in to my computer
i want to delete her old songs but they never show up
how do i delete them
HELP!!!

I think if you just syncronize the sansa with your computer it will delete the songs because your sansa is updated by the computer so if there on know songs on the computer then to be like the computer the sansa will get rid of it's songs. hope this helped:)

=On friday there was this football game and it was our first home game so everyone went! I was talking to one of my really good friends when the guy that i just started to talk to 3 days earlier came up to me and gave me a hug. I said hi and that was it but then every where i went he went with me and he gave me his belt to wear so we went to the entrence and he started to hug me all kinds!! then he started to bite me on my neck and my arms . and then like we were flirting like that back and fourth ... so we walked to the bleachers and sat down to watch the game and then everyone was tryin to get us to hold hands and kiss but we didnt want to...then he took my phone ad he wouldnt give it back and i had text messages in there that i didnt want him to see so i told him that i was mad at him and so then he put his arms around me and he keep on telling me that he dont have it so dont be mad at him then i finally got it back so i went to go lay on the grass with my friend elizabeth and he was going to go get his friend but then he decided to go with us so all 3 of us where laying on the grass and then i sat up and put my head on his chest and just sat there listenin to him talk to everyone that went by. then his cousin came bye and he asked if we were going out and we both said no and then he asked if we wanted to and we both didnt say anything then he would put him arm by my mouth and i would bite him and then he would hold me really close and look me in the eyes like he wanted to kiss me he just wouldnt and he kept on doing that then everyonce in a while he would play with my necklace and hold my hand .. the game was over so he had to leave so i walked him to him friends and when we got there i gave him a hug bye and then he looked into my eyes and just said yes then he told me to walk him to his friends car and so i did and we held hands till we got there then he gave me a hug and said bye then he pulled me back and looked into my eyes and kisssed me then he asked me to put his belt back on for him but i told him that he better to and that i will just give it to him later........well then comes monday and i didnt see him till 2nd period and he gave me a hug and looked at me like he was going to kiss me again but he didnt then i went to 2nd and then he walked me to 3rd period and everytime after that he was with this girl but he didnt say much to me and he just flirted and talked to her but he would look at me and smile he just acted so different around her!!.....now i cant tell if he really likes me or if he was just messing around plz someone help im so confused

okay heres the thing. he's a guy so he's really not going to put out any signs of his feelings. it's not going to be like there's some way you can know how he feels just by watching him. As hard and awkward as this sounds the only thing you can do is ask. If he likes you and it was serious he'll tell you if he isn't and he was just fooling around he'll tell you. It man be hard to do but it's better than being in the dark. Hope this helped.:)
