about

Hey all I love to give advice so ask away! I'm in high school and don't take crap from anyone; I don't care if people say things about the way I am. I don't do the whole trend thing...I'll wear something or do something because I like it and that's it. I love music and I play several instruments. My goal this year is to go to The Who concert or a Jet Concert!!! YEAH!!

advice

i didn't know which catagory this would fit in.. but i have this major problem about worrying about my cat. here is the story:

i had another cat some years back and she was injured by a speeding car one night while i was out. She was turned in the emergency room in critical condition with life-threatening conditions such as blindness, and jaw deformation.

my family and i decided to put her to sleep, and later on (two years later) i got a new cat. i made her an indoor cat so nothing would really happen to her. however, i always get bad visions of my cat dying in her sleep, like Sudden kitten death syndrome (Like SIDS) and there have been times I woke up seeing my cat not move at all, and I got terrified, and tried waking her up and she did. I always freak out when she is laying next to me or somewhere else. I always get worried she'll die and I get so scared so much that I feel like it's sending me into major paranoia.

I love my cat so much and it would break my heart if something ever happened to her, which is probably why I get like that. But I am still a little confused why I keep feeling that way, and I would like to know. I would also like advice on how to treat this problem so I would feel a bit more ease.

thanks in advance

well it's normal to feel this way because my cats are both outdoor and indoor and one of my cats got run over. From then on at night when I call my cats to come inside I get really scared if one doesn't show up and I start thinking of all the horrible things that could've happened to them. Try not to worry so much and if something does happen you just got to believe that they're in a better place. It will take a while to get over but it just takes time...I'm still paranoid about something happening to my cats..so don't feel alone.

i had sex with my boyfriend but i didnt bleed afterward am i still a virgin?

no you're not a virgin if you had sex...not every virgin bleeds after intercourse. This is why a lot of guys think that when their girlfriends say they're virgins and they don't bleed after sex that they're lying.

okay so me and my friend had sex ( with 2 diff guys obviously) lol and we think were pregonent and we dont liek abbortions what should we do!?

when did you have sex? I'm not sure about now but you could've taken the morning after pill. You need to get a pregnancy test though and if its positive you need to tell your parents....as much as it sucks it's the right thing to do.

I got braces today at 2:00pm. I have two tests to take tomorrow and I really need to be able to sleep, but I can't because of my braces. My teeth are hurting very bad and my lips are swollen. I know that it's normal, but I really need my sleep. I've already tried the wax strips and aleve. Neither one of those things are helping, though. Does anyone know of something else that works quickly?

Well there's really nothing you can do to get rid of the pain...but for sleep you can take sleeping pills. Though if you barely got them today you will be even more sore in the morning...it just takes time for the pain to go away but maybe you can stay home for a day to let the soreness get a little better. Because with all that pain you won't be able to focus on anything.

well i have really long,medium thick hair (down to my elbow,long layers,bangs to my mid. neck) its kinda ll just blahhh and i need a new hair cut! !the highest inches i'll (probably) take is 2 1/2 inches.but im really open to any ideas!pics would be great,but arent needed.=D

I think you should maybe get it in shorter layers and then flip it out...this is a really cool hairstyle i had (but my hair grew out) and it really isn't that hard to manage. Also if you don't feel like flipping it out it'll still look good strait cuz you can still see all the layers. As for bangs maybe some up to your eyebrows so then you can push them to the side or leave them hanging strait down your forehead.

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get an antiobiotic filled. I have also had a problem with my hands sweating all the time. I mean all the time, except when im sleeping. It interferes with school writing and my job. Ive also had underarm sweating problems that i treat with drysol but i tried for my palms and it didnt work. So do you think the doctor can prescribe me anything for my hand sweating?thanks!

Well when i went to the doctor for underarm sweating he just told me it was nerves. (well duh). He says just to use the spray deodorants not the sticks, and as for the hands he told me there was nothing he could do about it and that it will pass overtime. But i know how you feel! I feel so embarrassed with my underarm sweating i'm still trying to get rid of it. They might end up prescribing you an anxiety medicine to help you stay calm and help you not to get nervous.....

My brother and i were in a car accident recently and i was driving and totaled my brand new escalade. he told the police and our parents that he was the one driving so i wouldnt get in trouble since i only had my license for a few months and he has had his for about 6 years. i feel horrible about the whole thing tho and i cant figure out what to do. should i tell my parents the truth of just let it be?

well if it's still bothering you, you should tell them. Because just think about it...sooner or later they will end up finding out. If you just let it be you will constantly just keep thinking about it and be feeling guilty for the rest of your life. Just get it over with and tell them...try to handle the consequences the best that you can...be strong.

Hope I helped!

Right now I write lyrics and that's about it. But someday I want to be able to at least perform in a talent show. The problem is, I can't play guitar and I'm not a very good singer. Are there any tips you can give me? Where can I find a good but cheap guitar? What's the easiest way to learn guitar? Is there any way I can teach myself to sing, since finding a vocal teacher is sort of out of the question... we live in a VERY rural area... and we're broke.

A good but cheap guitar will be around a 100 bucks and that is considered cheap. It's basically goes from there up. Don't buy one from a pawn shop though because you'll spend more money there on a crappy guitar than at a regular store on a nice one. There are sites on the internet that teach you certain vocal techniques. Just go to google and type in vocal lessons. You can try to teach yourself guitar from a book and if you're successful then great! But it is hard and a lot easier if you have a teacher. They don't have guitar class at your school?

Hope I helped!

hi! well ive been into tight-skin pants for a couple years now. like...ive sewed them myself makin them skin tight. but the thing is, now that these new "skinny jeans" are in, i admit i like them better then my old skin tight jeans. Also, the real thing is, that whenever i wore my skin tight jeans (all i ever had) i would wear my black converse! but those are crappy now i had to throw them away and honestly they dont look good with my skinny jeans. So heres my problem: i dont like flats. but skinny jeans def. dont look good with my new reg shoes. so what do i do about my flats problem? What other shoes look good with skinny jeans? And its winter so i cant wear flip flops. thanks so much (long question) plz help fashion!

I personally like flared jeans but when i accidentally bought skinny jeans i put on some boots and they looked great. Flats also look really good but seeing as you don't like them i would recommend boots or some heels. The boots or heels don't have to have big heels to look good.

OKay well im 14/f... lemme give you some backround... my dad has cancer and he gets chemo every other week.... its realli stressful... i have a nice house and a loveing family... but for a while now i have been a cutter... yes i know it pathetic... but i havent done it to often anymore... ive been thinking of suicide alot.like how i would do it... is this normal?? ive gotten to the point in my life were im not afriad to do it anymore.. like before i would have never gone through with it cause i was to scared.. i dont wanna get profeccional help.. i cant let my family know whats going on.. im just realli confused and i dont know what to do anymore..please help

ok first of all this is serious...i was in the sort of the same situation...but i took pills..after a while i started to think about suicide a lot and it didn't seem that big a deal to me...but it was. i od on some pills and ended up in a psych ward (there were cutters there). I ended up recieving therapy and it helped a lot...and i was the last person anybody ever thought to be in a psych ward. Though i've gone through it and i know you probably don't want to give your family another thing to worry about...but your feelings do matter. So if you ever want to talk..you can e-mail me superfizzysodapop@sbcglobal.net..i hit rock bottom and i'm still slowly recovering.

i was a cutter for about a year then i stoped for 8 monthes i got back into and now i cant seem to stop my mom dose not know nor dose my boy friend what do i do so i can stop for good and not get it back in my lilfe

think about why and when u started up again. You should talk to your mom or boyfriend about it so they can help you...I've had an experience like that...i wasn't a cutter but a pill popper and whenever i got depressed that's what i would do..i od and had to go to a psych ward..it was actually pretty helpful and a lot of the people there were cutters. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point if you talk to someone soon enough.

If you're using polish remover make sure it contains acetone...that's the best thing to get it off.

Okay, so at one point, there was this guy that I was involved with for awhile, and he blocked me on line, and when he blocked me, I made another screen name he didn't know in case he blocked the ones he did...recently I had the idea to start talking to him on that sn to like, attract him in a way, get him to want the character behind that sn, and then once I know he likes (her), I'd suggest we meet, and it would be me he meets up with.
I know it's a lot of lying (sort of), and a lot of deceit, but I almost want to do it. Like, start fresh, in a way.
What do you guys think?
Btw we're in college...^^

I think he will probably think you're extremely clingy and I don't think he'll just be so happy it was you behind the screenname....you're not letting him move on and talking to him under another screen name may make him upset if he finds out. I mean I know you have good intentions but how's he going to feel if you all get back together and he always remember that you're a good liar. He will probably question you about things a lot more.

I'm going on two missions trips nexet year and I need to raise alot of money. Do you guys have any good ideas on how to raise money, other then like bakesale and support letters?
Thank so much :]

Hey i've had to do a lot of fundraisers and the thing that always rakes in the big money is carwashes. Just pick a place, get a hold of some buckets, friends, soap and sponges and you're set!

Im in a band right now. Im am the leadsinger and main song writer. THey are all my good friends but I hav a problem. I feel stuck. I try to put so much into this and get nothing in return. I dont want to diss my friends but Im realy starting to think that I wont be able to make my dreams happen with them. What do I do?

I know how you feel...me and my friends are into music but i always seem to be into it a little more in them and i have dreams of being on stage and performing. I want to be in a band with my friends cuz i think it would be really cool but i guess in the end you will have to find people that share your same dream and hopefully you'll become good friends and make a good band. You can still be their friends but if they've got other dreams let them follow them and you keep going with your band.
