Changingg this mess! :]

advice

About 4 days ago i had a 103.7 temp. I was very sick. I am now over my cold but for the past 2 nights i have been drinking 3 or 4 full water bottles a night. I dont know if this is because my body is still repairing and needs energy or because of something else. Someone please help me because its really annoying.

thanks.

It may seem strange, but don't worry about it. Your body may just have been dehydrated while you were sick, and your body's trying to take in more water. Or it could just mean you're really thirsty. Or you really like water. :) Not to worry though. Water can't hurt you. There are crazy-whack people have drank only water for like, a week to try and lose weight (dont get any ideas!) and they were usually just fine. As long as your diet is balanced, you'll be fine.

how do you put pictures on aim?

If you have the newer version of AIM, you can insert them into your info. If you have the old school version, you cannot. But to insert pictures on the new one, I believe you just go to your info, and there should be a button.
But, you can send pictures to people through either version. You have to open a direct IM connection, then insert the picture and press enter :)

One of my friend's brother or step-brother, I can't remember which, tries to rape her every night.

She first told me about it a week ago, and I told her that she has to tell someone that she can trust immediately. Well, she told me that she's told her parents and the school counselors, but no one is doing anything about it.

I really hate to see her like this because she deserves so much better, is there any way that I can help her out?

Ouch. That's a terrible circumstance that nobody deserves to go through. But you have to understand that your friends brother/step could have told her not to tell anyone, and she could have lied about telling her parents. In my opinion, the only way you could handle this is to talk to the school guidance counseler yourself. Your friend may be upset that you told someone, but she'll thank you some day.

Your friend is in a terrible and horrid situation that she does not deserve to go through, and she shouldn't have to suffer from it any longer.

I went onto a website and ever since then I have so much pop ups! Just now one poped up! How can I block it without downloading something that will ruin my computer more!!



HELP

Yuck. I had a similar problem with my previous computer. Unfortunately, our PC ended up crashing because it was just extremely slow, and you couldn't go on anything without getting at least 5 pop-ups. You can download special programs, but make sure they're from a trusted program, such as McAfee. They usually cost quite a bit of money, but at least it costs less than buying a whole new PC. Sorry that I can't give you a list of safe programs. If you google "pop-up blocker" on google, about 60 percent of the sites just make the problem worse. :/
Good luck.

well ive been homskooled all my life, until last year we moved to my dad's home town and they finally agreed to let me go away to public skool! i was sooo happy when they let me go to skool cuz for about a year or so i had thought about klling myself cauz i never did anything i was always at church or at hom ewith my family who ignores me! well i did my very best last year and i got all A's! but this year i over heard my parents talking and they sadi that if i made just one bad grade on my report card that they would pull me out cauz my parents told me if i didnt that they would pull me out of skool and id be back to homskooling. the bad thing is im making a c in english and the report cards are coming out thsi friday! i really dont want to be pulled out cauz then i will go back into my depression state, only this time i would cut myself cauz then they'd have to send me back to skool or i'd keep cutting myself, and if they dont do that they'll have to send me to the place for crazy ppl! i know thats a rally bad place cauz ive had friends go there an d come back adn they sadi it was awfull, but i dont care just as long as i dont come back to this god forsaken house everyday doing nothing but homeskooling and going to church!
how do i get me parents to understand that im not their perfect genius who will always make A'S?

Tell your parents you're still adjusting to the new grade, and tell them if they give you another chance, you'll get a better grade. And stick to that. Remember to ask your english teacher if you can get any extra credit. And C's aren't that bad. They're about average. As long as you support your reasons of why you should stay in public school, your parents should understand. Nobody's perfect :]

I'm going to join the swim team in November this year. I've tried to insert a tampon numerous times, but it doesn't work. Will it be okay if I did swim when I have my period? Any tips inserting a tampon.
P.S. I have a very slim body
Thanks

Basically, no. Unless you want blood to kind of float around you when you're swimming, then don't go without one. Once again like the other person said, you have to relax and just practice.

Sometimes i get these painful things in my mouth and I can't describe it but the closest thing I can compare it with is a pimple.

Sometimes I'll have it on my tongue or on my gum.

Does anyone know what it's called and why I get it?

It's either a cold sore or ulcer. Cold sores aren't really curable unless they're outside the mouth. But if it's an ulcer, you're supposed to mix baking soda with water, swish it around in your mouth a couple minutes before bed, then spit it away. It tastes pretty nasty, but it works.

15/f
since i was 7 i've had these constant zits in my T-Zone but i only have a few on my cheeks. I've tried all of the oil-free face washes... Then i stopped using those and now i only put white dove soap and normal clearasil on my face. My acne seems to have increased since I made that change.

What products will get rid of worse-than-normal but not horrible acne?

ps: i have super oily skin but I don't want a product that will dry my skin out.

please only reccomend stuff that you personally have tried. (or at least know someone who it's worked for)

Wow I had the identical problem. I started using Clean&Clear Deep Action Cream Cleanser Oil-free, and in the morning I used Morning Burst face wash. The Morning burst stuff is really cool. You can get it in a soap or they have face wipes. You just put it on your face, and it seriously makes the oil disappear.

my teeth arent white at all, and ive tried to use crest whitening strips, but my teeth are very sensitive, so they hurt when they are on it. is there anything i could buy that will make my teeth white fast without any pain?!!
and not too expensive please!!

Well they only thing I can tell you is to go the dentis and have them whiten your teeth. My brother got it done and his teeth were very white, and from what I know, it wasn't very painfull.

Alright for Christmas I'm planning on getting a new game console. I'm either getting Wii or Xbox 360 so I'm wondering if anyone would like to share their opinions about either of them. Which do you think is better? What are the features from both of them? I want to get Xbox 360 cause I heard Halo 3 came out and speaking of Halo, I have 2 brothers so whats the multiplayer like? Is it spilt screen or do all 3 of us share the same screen? But I also want the Wii cause I bought nintendo products since I was a boy and I'm kind of attached to it plus I have gamecube and a trunk full of the games,around 30-40, and I also heard regular gamecube games can work on the Wii hmm except I don't think I can get used to the remote and I heard it uses batteries so that means I would be wasting money for batteries. So the probability is like 65% of getting an Xbox 360 and 35% of getting a Wii. So anyone have any comments?

Well I have a Nintendo Wii. The batteries in the remote last really long. And xBox 360 controllers cost a lot too, you know. I would definitely go for the Wii. It has better games, and really cool features. The Wii does work very well with Nintendo Gamecube games, and you can use the classic controller for Gamecube games. And by the end of this year, there will be over 100 Wii games just from 2007. Definitely go for the wii :)

is there any way i can make my teeth whiter, something that you can definetly see a difference, and straighter or somewhat straighter without braces? im so self-conscious about my smile and i never smile with my teeth cause i think its so ugly. thanks so much.

Try Crest White Strips, or go to your dentist and have him/her whiten them. My brother has done both things, and they work very well. They both have good effects, and both of them work great, but it's really a matter of how much you want to pay and how much time you want to spend.

Getting your teeth whitened at the dentist only takes about 20 or 30 minutes.
When it comes to whitestrips, it depends on what kind you get. Regular old whitestrips...you just have to keep them on for 20 minutes each day in the morning. Night-White strips: They can take longer, I think.

is it considered geeky for a girl to play the sims on the computer. i play it a lot but i don't talk about it with friends or anyone really because nobody else plays it and i don't want to be considered a geek. i hate geeky guys who rather play video games than go out and party. i'm not geeky am i?

Heckk no. I love the Sims. It's not geeky at all! Actually a lot of popular girls at our school love that game :)

Lately I've been really tired in the mornings. School started over a month ago and I can still barely keep myself awake in my first and second block classes...and it sometimes lasts until the end of the day. I go to sleep at about 11:30 and wake up at 6:15. I need to start waking up at 5:45 so I can work out in the mornings, but that'll be hard when I can barely keep my eyes open in the morning.

What's something that can keep me awake during school? Do those Vitamin B pills work? I need something that actually works and won't make me crash when it wears off. I hear that those energy drinks wear off quick and you feel really bad when that happens. It's not something I can fix with my diet because I eat healthy and I can't go to sleep earlier.

Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Try going to bed about 45 minutes earlier. You might be surprised at how much less tired you feel in the morning. If that doesn't work, there's these tiny little bottles about the size of your thumb. They have energy stuff in them, and they're pretty much all caffeine. You can buy them at dick's. :)

Well This year I want to wear a proper outfit for swimming like normal people, like a bikini but I want to cover more of my body so I'm wearing shorts.

If I'm flat chested, should I even be wearing a bikini top? Or am I supposed to wear a t-shirt or soemthing?

There's actually swimsuits you can buy where the bottoms are kinda like shorts. (Even though that's besides the point, I just thought I'd throw that out there xD)

But it's not a big deal if you wear a bikini while being flat chested. One of my best friends is flat as a board and she wears a bikini and looks good in it.
Just as long as you feel comfortable, go for it.

Is there any way to get rid of freckles
?
Besides just covering them up ?

Nope, there is no possible way to get rid of freckles. You can PREVENT them though, by wearing sunscreen on your face.

I asked a question a while back about me deleting all of my folders..Like last 25 played or recently added..etc..Could anyone give me step by step to get them back? Thanks so much.

Unfortunately, you can't get the folders back. The songs should still be in your library, so you can always re-create the folders and put the songs back in.. Oh, and if the songs aren't in your library, they should still be saved to the hard disk.
