ok 1st off I'm 13/f..ok well i met this really amazing guy and i never felt this way about someone in my whole life..i think i may b in love w. him..and i don't want to hear "oh your too young to be in love." but the problem is that hes 17 and lives and hour and a half away from me. he doesn't know I'm only 13 either. in the time we got to know each other, he is starting to like me too. one time when we were talking he told me that age doesn't matter, as long as you love them its ok. here is some of the conversation:

me:it really sucks that we're this far away from each other.
him: yeah i no. but you know what doesn't suck? i got a really nice tan today.haha
me: haha
him: and plus I'm talking to this amazing girl who totally doesn't suck.
me: ouu and who might this be?
him: her names kelly ((my name))..do you know her?
me: yeah i might...and I'm talking to this amazing, cute, and sweet boy.
him: whats his name?
me: Joe ((his name))
him: he sounds pretty cool.
him: and how do you manage to always put a smile on my face?
me: i don't know. how to manage to put one on mine?
him: well..i asked you first.
me: i don't know your just amazing...its like i don't even have to try to impress you. i could just be myself and you'd like me anyway. thats what i love about you.
him: =) why do you even have to try? you've already impressed me.

how should i tell him I'm only 13? how do you think he'll take it?
sorry this was long =(
HELP ME !!

Hey. Awww, he's so sweet!! Haha, you should deffinatly just tell him about it. He has told you that age doesn't matter, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't just say that for a topic of conversation. I would just tell him, and if you mean anything, he'll still treat you the same.


Good Luck!!

What can I do to get over a cold the quickest?
And does anyone know how long a cold usually lasts?

I started feeling sick yesterday,
and I have a dance next Friday,
do you think I will be better by then?
Or possibly earlier?

I rested today and am drinking plenty of water.
I have 3 more days to rest before I go back to school.
Will this help and is there anything else I can do?

Hey. Well, you want to stay warm, and sleep and rest a lot. If you're like me, you can't take naps. It doesn't matter if you don't sleep a lot, although that's the best for you. Don't do much physical activity, and pretty much drink a lot of orange juice. There's also pills that you can take to boost your immune system. I'm sorry but I'm not positive what they're called. I'm pretty sure they are called Emergen- C. They give you a lot of vitamin C, boosting your immune system, helping you heal faster. Take baths and showers in warm water too, they make you feel a lot better. Just take it easy, and don't go out. You need to get better soon so I wouldn't go out at all.

I hope you feel better!!

i have two ferrets. My first one i got was a girl her name is tinkerbelle and i got her in october of 06'. then around january i got a boy named peterpan , and since ive got the boy tinkerbelle got really calmer over days and thats a good thing cause we used to not be able to hold her for a second. And the boy just wont stop being so mean he bites her on the face and bites her on the neck. they have had one temper shot and i was wondering when i get the second one , will her be calmer or any information on how to handle it because im sick of hitting him but it does help :/

kaylaaa

Hey. Well, I'm not really an expert on this, but I do have one small suggestion. You could put the two different ferrets in different cages in different rooms. It may be because when you introduced the two, it all happened too fast. You could try to seperate them for a while and then gradually re- introduce them. It's kind of like people, if they get too much of eachother too quickly, they tend to not get along. I would try that for a while, and if it doesn't work, I would ask a pet expert such as an employee of the store you bought the second ferret from, or a veterinarian.


Good Luck, and remember, have patience!

is there anything you can add to water to flavor it more with out that many calories? oh and that isnt pure sugar?

dont sugest vitamin water cause i used to drink it all the time and i figured out some facts about it, its as bad as drinking soda =/ !!

thank you! cause im going on a all water drink diet for my health, but water getting boreing and not flavorble after a while =]
--ashley

You could buy the Crystal Light or Propel packets to pour in your water. They have, if any, no more than 15 calories per bottle of water, but I don't think they even have any calories or anything. And crystal light is surgar free, but I'm not sure about propel.

let's see i'm trying to make my hair emo style but i'm trying to figure how do you make your hair so straight? i used to comb my hair up all the time and make it spikey and i've been doing that almost forever but now i wanna try somthing new. i combed my hair down and it barely covers half of my forehead but it doesnt go straight all the way. the ends of the strands of my hair always curve to one direction and it doesnt stay straight down and look triangular shape-like. will it help to keep my hair combed down for a long time or is there a way to make it really straight? i'm a guy by the way and i don't wanna end up using a hair straightener unless there's a certain one for guys. i'm thinking of going to a place like Super Cuts and ask them to do it for me and if i do someday how much will a hair cut like that cost? and does anyone know a site with pictures of emo hairstyles? i want the kind where your hair is combed straight down and part of it covers one of your eyes. i've never really been to a barber before cause my mom usually gives me my hair cuts and i cant ask her for an emo one cause she doesnt like how my hair is combed down. and i know its ok to not care what other people think of you but what if its your parents? im getting tired of my mom saying that i look so ugly with my haired combed down. to me i dont look so bad and no one at school says anything about it. probably i'll look a little better once my acne disappears completely but still i want my mom to stop saying im ugly.

Hey. Well, I don't all that much I can say about this, but I will warn you, if you chose to take Tina Duhh's advice, make sure you explain EXACTLY what you want, using the picture for reference, because some of my friends go in there with pictures and come out not looking like the picture at all. Of course, I was talking about my friends that are girls, but I guess it's the same thing. As for your mom not approving, neither does mine. All she does is complain and tell me how I could be so much prettier if I "was like I was before," becuase I used to be just about the preppiest girl you would ever meet. It was kinda gross. lol. So yeah anyways, my mom and dad make comments of how they don't approve of me, and how I'm a 'goth' all the time, when I'm most deffinatly NOT goth at ALL. Just forget about your mom, she needs time to ajust. Some people don't take change well, and seem to think that their way of life is the only proper way to do things. I'm not saying that your mom is one of those people, but you know how some people think that dresing 'emo' is wierd and scary and no one approves of it. Tell her it bothers you that she calls you ugly, becuase it's not like you go telling that to her. Just give her time, it will all be okay. If you want pictures of 'emo' haircuts and styles, or a place to get a straightener that is cheap and will work, let me know by leaving something in my inbox. And just so you know, it doesn't make you 'gay' or like any less of a guy if you straighten your hair, you just have curly hair and want it to be straight, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I know guys that wear eyeliner and I don't think they're any less boyish. Just do what you want, and I really don't reccomend going to supercuts with pictures, becuase it never really works out.

What if I'm like this forever? I'm always bored. I've lost a bunch of friends I thought I was close with. But all they did was turn on me. I can't trust anyone. But I still manage to give people a chance. Only, I can't seem to keep any friends. Like no one wants to stick around me. Maybe Somethings wrong with me. I have no one I can trust. Ive been going to therapy since i was 5 and it's never helped. all they've done is put me on drugs. But i'm not going to take any drugs. I don't trust them. And I don't trust therapist. They always give up on me and I don't like the fact that they only care because they're getting payed. It's not honest. And I feel like no ones Honest... But I'mm starting to hate myself because i feel like all i'm doing is complaining. And most of my life I've lived thinking "im not a coward and i can get thru anything" But after all these years of the same bull-cr*p nothings changed and all ive realized is that Ive had false hope... I hate myself and i hate who im becoming. Because after all these years of being treated like crap, im starting to treat others like crap. And I try my best not to, but sometimes I cant even control it.
I have no one to talk to and I feel like no one even cares enough to even listen. Ive tried writting, but that doesnt help anymore. And music use to be my escape. But that doesnt work much either, anymore.
I dont do drugs. but sometimes i think i should just to it, to numb all my feelings and just knock me out for a while. I know its the wrong way out. But i dont know what to do anymore. I wish my mind was simple and I could just not care like everyone else. And yes, i know everyone has their own problems, thats why i cant even talk to people. cause i hate being selfish and i know the world doesnt revolve around me. But ive felt like this my whole entire life!
And now, sometimes I just pick fights with people for no reason, or start arguements, Like if I want them to yell at me and put me down.
I HATE THIS.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE and sometimes I want to give up, but i know its stupid and suicide is the cowards way out and im probably too much of a coward to even do that.
And i go out and do excercise for a while. but that doesnt work anymore either cause i get back to feeling like i did before and now the feelings dont go away and i feel like cr*p while im riding my bike or something.
Well, my mind sucks and i dont even have the mentality of someone my age. Kids my age have their morals alll wrong and ive never been able to relate to their stupid lifestyles.. but i like to respect and i try not to put anyone down. so, im sorry. How can I get over these feelings? I feel like theres no hope. And no way out of this. Im 19

Hey. Well, what you need to do to deal with your trust issues is just forget about what you're fake friends did to you. A large number of people are exactly the same, but it's easy to find the ones who aren't. As for you not commiting suicide, that DOES NOT make you a coward, that makes you one of the few sane people in this world.Basically, you're matture, and the people that you chose to befriend aren't... but that doesn't mean they're horrible people, it's good to have a few immature friends, it helps you have fun. All in all, what you need to do is "wipe your slate clean," and forget what everyone else has done to you. Just start your life over. Maybe you could ask one of your parents to transfer you to a different school. I'm pretty sure if they knew how miserable you were they'd atleast try. If you can't go to a new school then pick a new clique of friends. Since you're 19 you're most likely in college, so changing schools would be out of the question. Just start over and forget your past. And know that while you don't think anyone cares about you, your family does and anyone that cares enough to put an answer to this question is living proof people are concerned.

Keep your chin up, hun. It will be okay :].

My iPod is acting really weird and it just started today. It won't play my iTunes bought songs. And I have like 500 iTunes songs and they are my good ones so I need some help. If I click on an iTune bought song, it shows the name for a second and immediately skip to the next song. If that song was bought on iTunes then it does the same thing and so on untill it gets to a song that I uploaded from a CD. If I go on iTunes, it plays all my songs. So if anyone knows whats going on and knows how to fix it, i would appreciate it

My cousin's Ipod did this once. Just try leaving off for a little while and then turning it back on. If that doesn't work I would resync your songs again.Good Luck!

i really really really really really want to dye my hair. but the thing is my mom wont let me. and i absolutely HATE my hair. it looks disgusting. i have the dye and my cousin is doin it for me. but my mom knows im gonna do it because i told her everyday so she knows. but like shes like if you do it theres no friends, im picking you up and bringing you to school, no cell phone, no computer, and blah di balh. BUT I REALLY WANT TO DO IT! i dont see why i cant! and im gonna do it! but how can i make her understand that its ok if i dye my hair!?

Well, she is sayung no to you because she is worried something will go wrong. Some people dye their hair and it ends up coming out in the form of disaster, if you know what I mean. There's not much you can do, but I do reccomend not dyeing it. If you disobey your mom, you will violate her trust in letting you do anything else. I say you just wait, your hair probably isn't that bad :].

Hi I was wondering if there is something I can do to help me wake up in the morning. No matter how early I go to sleep, it is impossible for me to get up. It's kind of to a point where I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with me.
-No matter how early I go to sleep, I am still SUPER tired in the morning.
-My mom has to wake me up in the morning because I don't wake up to an alarm- i sleep right through it.
-I've tried OTC sleeping medicine-doesn't help
-Drinking hot milk/tea before bed-doesn't help
-When I wake up my mom has to like shake me and usually I fall back asleep very quickly- then she will come back and she is mad at me. I really can't help falling back asleep because I'm not exactly conscious yet.
-I usually don't have a problem falling asleep, just waking up.
-Usually if when I finally wake up which takes me like 35 minutes, I can BARELY open my eyes until I get in the shower.

If you can help me or know a way or medicine to make me WAKE UP in the morning that would be great. I'm asking now so that I'll be able to get in a habit for next school year. Oh yeah btw Im
14/F
Thankyou!!!

Hey. Well, it might be that you're always tired becuase you don't have enough Iron in your diet, although I forget what that's actually called. Ask one of your parents or guardians to take you to the doctors. But if you don't have anything wrong with you, before you go take medicines, try drinking the Vitamin Water that is called "Refresh." I believe the flavor is fruit puch, it tastes alright, and it helps. Also, the strawberry - kiwi flavor gives you focus, and that one tastes really good.

Good Luck!

anyone know any good catchy songs and songs which go well with movies like for intros and endings?? thanks

Hey. Well, you could use any of these up-beat songs:

BodyBag- Hit the Lights
Slide Along Side - Shifty
GirlFriend- Avril Lavigne

You know, any upbeat songs like that, also, if you like techno music, some good songs would be some by Cascada.


Good Luck on your movie!

i bleached my hair from brown to bdirty blondish on sunday...can i go swimming? or will it turn green?

Hey. Well, I'm blonde and for me it takes like atleast three times of swimming for my hair to even start turning green. I've never dyed or highlighted my hair or anything, but I'm pretty sure the same applies to you. If your hair does turn green though, you won't notice until it's completely dry. If it turns green, you can get this Paul Mitchell shampoo stuff, it's called like Shampoo 1, 2, 3, ect. It works good.

So, my friend confessed she has been making herself throw up because she cares a lot about what other people think and it makes her feel better. I know a lot about it, I told her it's damaging. she says she's gonna try to stop, but I doubt she will. I just don't really know what to do. I know I can't really tell anyone- her parents would not understand, neither would mind. and I can't really tell any adult, cause I know she wont seek help or anything. What can I do for her personally?

Hey. Well, you could personally follow her into the school's bathrooms or her home bathroom after she eats to make sure that she doesn't throw up, also, you could secretly stand outside the door and try to listen and see if she's throwing up. You could also threaten to tell someone about it if she doesn't stop. I know these things are harsh, but trust me, I know they work.

Ok, so im in 8th grade and cheerleading tryouts for my highschool freshman squad are on June 5th. I was just wondering, what are the requirments and stuff? I'm really nervous because I don't know anyone trying out, and I'm not sure if ill make it cuz i cant do a flip. I can do everything else fine though. Oh, and also, can someone tell me what it's like, and like what shoes I should wear and sutff. thanks =]

Hey. Well, it's actually pretty easy. In the end it really depends on your school, however, for most teams you don't need to be able to do a backhandspring or back tuck... but it would most likely garantee you a spot on the team, so you should try to get either of the two. But, I think that if you're good enough with motions and stunting and such, they might put your lack of tumbleing behind them and decide to put you on the squad. I think to get ready, you should stretch, a LOT. Also, you should practice some of the motions, and the cheers, too. Stand in front of the mirror, whisper the cheers, and do motion drills. You also should maybe even make a small dance, you know, just incase they want to see you dance. You should really look into more of what JUST your highschool team wants, becuase every team has different expectations.
As for what you should wear, you should just wear running sneakers, shorts with track pants over them, and a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt. Wear your hair back in a ponytail also.


Hope I helped, Good Luck!!

Tonight my mom saw me trying to scratch my back. I had a terrible itch. She came over and scatched the itch on my back for me. And in a teasing voice said: ech, you are so bony; Should I be upset or just ignore it. She said it a kidding way.

Hey. Deffinatly don't worry about it, it's perfectly fine. She meant it as a compliment, implying that you're skinny. Deffinatly don't go trying to gain weight over a comment such as that, just let it go, it's really nothing.

Where can I find clothes like abercrombie and fitch & american eagle but cheaper? Because I honestly don't think a shirt is worth $30-$40 ish.

I would really like to get cute shorts
and a shirt similar to this-

http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?rcid=womens&scid=cat90038&navroot=womens&productId=0355_5721

or anything plaid.
But i don't know where to look! I don't go to the mall often or anything... and I wouldn't be able to go in every other store to look around. Time is limited..

Hey. You should try weathervane and old navy. But weathervane is better. Good Luck :].

So theres this guy Im talking to.He says hes likes me but hes soooo shy. He puts his arms around me, we cuddle and he kisses my forehead. but hes so shy to kiss me...we talk like everyday, but he hasnt called or texted me in like three days, and i feel weird. dont know why. I know hes really shy, and i want HIM to make the move, but im guessing i have too. Im confused cause weve been friends for like a year, but he knows ive liked him for like 6 months and so has he...should i make the first move...but the problem is, is that hes really shy and might hold back his feelings.

Hey. I agree with JustAskMe... You should ask him. I know you said he's really shy, but if he likes you he won't be too shy to tell you how he feels. You might not want to ask him in person, though. Try asking him over the computer, on like MSN or AIM or something.. It's much easier to tell someone your true feelings when you aren't on the computer or phone with them. If you don't want to ask him out personally, have a friend sort of hint around, you know, like saying "So, ----, Do you like ---?, Maybe you should ask her out..." Or something like that. If not, just go for it on your own! Good Luck :D

Ok, so my mother is letting me sale some of my stuff on ebay, to get rid of a lot of stuff, and to make a little cash, BUT I don't know how much to sell any of it for. If I list these two items, can you PLEASE tell me how much i can get for it. These are probaly the most valueble items i have:


Trumpet(3 years old. Only used for 1 year. No dents. ALMOST perfect condition.)-

Playstation 2(used, works perfectly fine)-

Hey. Well, for the trumpet, since it's used, if you can get anything for it, the most would probably be like $35.00, if you're lucky. For the playstation2, you might be able to get like $150.00 for that. I would start the trumpet at like $25.00, and the PS2 at about $75.00. Hope I helped.

i have this friend and all she does is copy me. like i'll make up words and quotes and hang out with certain people and she's always a step behind me. my friend and i who are also friends with her wanted to go to this concert and now she's suddenly obsessed with it! i can't stand her most of the time and telling her how i feel won't work cause she's one of those 'i can't do anything wrong & it's all about me people' even if she doesn't realize it. ALSO i've liked this boy for awwhile and i was thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend for him, and she started going out with him a week later when she KNEW i liked him and she didn't like him, which i know because i asked her. ANYONE GOOD ADVICE PLEASEEEEEE!

Hey. Well, for one thing, I agree. She deffinatly should not have hooked up with the guy you like, but, think of it this way: She is always very jelous of you, and she envies you and would love to be like you. She found out that you want something that takes a little time to get, so she acted on it right away, to make you jealous of her, for once. I know it's probably extremely annoying to have someone following you around all the time, but try to have a little bit of patience with her, after all, it is a compliment, as I see it :].

As for the kid you like, tell her that you're getting really pissed and you think it's really low for her to go out with someone she doesn't even like, just to piss you off or something. Tell her that it's wicked stupid and skanky to lead someone on to get back at a friend and if she doesn't set this guy straight that you'll do it for her. Don't take shit from her, becuase I hate more than anything the type of person you described this girl to be - "the world revolves around me" and someone that dates someone they don't even like. So, get this hoe straight :].

I used to be anorexic.

Now I am bulimic. Why? I can't help it. I try to eat healthy and I know I eat enough food. It's just, some nights I'll start eating something and then it goes on and on. I'm not even hungry! I just eat, and I can't stop. Then when whatever I was eating is gone, I either go to bed and swear that I'll never eat anything again unless I'm hungry, or if its not too late I'll run on my treadmill and then throw up, cause that's just what happens when you run after stuffing yourself.

So how do I break this vicious cycle? What the heck is my problem?!?!?

You're just eating becuase you're bored. It's a bad habbit most everyone has. What you need to do it get interested in a sport, or music lessons, or dance, or even start your own website or something, to keep yourself busy. You only can't stop eating becuase you have nothing more fun to do- and I agree, eating is pretty fun :p. Just get into something you like to do, and you wont want to eat unless you're hungry. Good luck and have fun!
