ok i wrote the question below.
my parents would totally freak out! i would be in so much trouble! there was another car involved but it was my brothers friend and my brother told him the situation adn he agreed to say it was him. im not sure what happened with teh car after the accident the tow company took it and my parents got me a new one. i dont want himt o get int trouble but my parents would flip out and i would probably get my license taken away if not by the police then by them. (link)

You have to way the consequences in both directions. The police could find out that you were driving (the seat was more than likely pulled up closer than when a guy is driving). Then you'd be in tons of trouble. Other than that, I don't think you have much to worry about. Did they get mad at your brother? If they feel better thinking that it was him driving and not you, and you don't think you can get into trouble with the police, then maybe it would be better. What if his friend ended up telling the police it was you driving? You'd both be in a lot of trouble. How long ago did this happen? Is your brother going to have to pay back any money from the accident?
|
my brother and i were in car accident recently and i was driving and totaled my brand new escalade. my brother told the police and our parents that he was the one driving so i wouldnt get in trouble since i had only had my licnese for a few months and he has had his for about 6 years. i feel horrible about the whole thing. should i tell my parents the truth or just let it be?

First there are some questions that I have to ask... what are the risks involved if you tell them that it was you? How would your parents react? What did they do with the car after you wrecked it? If the cops found out that it was you driving and not him, both of you could get in serious trouble. Was anyone else involved? Is he on the insurance? This is really his judgement call, whether or not he takes the blame for you. I'm not sure exactly what will or could happen if they find out that you were driving. You are one lucky sister, though. Your brother must really love you to take the blame for you like that. As long as you guys just keep it to yourself and no one else knows (assuming the cops don't find out), you should be ok. Write me back and let me know the other info and I'll try to help you further.

I am getting obssesed with the idea of commiting suicide. I am not a teenage girl by the way, I am a 40 year old bysiness man. I take pills so that I can sleep at night but i just wont help but anyways I dont want to bitch about my life. I just dont want to think about killing myself anymore.it is always there, the thought. Crazy thoughts, how to do it, will it hurt, make a big fuss and....that is all.
I think also that if I start doing heavy drugs things will get better. (link)

What is so bad about your life to make you want to end it all? So many people suffer from depression, there is help out there. Like another person said, the sleeping pills you are taking may be making you more depressed. Drugs are no solution to ANY problem. Trust me, they will only make it worse. You didn't exactly ask a question, but you seemed like you really needed a friend, so if you want to talk or if you want advice about something in particular, feel free to e-mail me XBrooklynHeights@aol.com. I hope things get better for you. If you haven't already, I suggest you talk to your doctor and he or she can recommend something for you (like zoloft or welbutrin) to help with the depression. There are also places you can go to do to outpatient depression treatment, or if you feel comfortable talking to someone about your problems, I recommend a clinical psychologist. I hope this helped, and please don't hesitate to message me.

I don't do very well on tests and so I need help on studying...and don't say, Take Good Notes...be more specific...life crisis!
my tests are normally a C or under...not good and I do fine with homework...it's just the tests!
(link)
| |
I'm not sure which subjects you're having trouble with. Is it all of your tests? Or is it certain ones? If you have trouble on all of your tests, then it could be test anxiety, or you could just not be studying properly. Everyone learns different. First you need to decide if you are a visual, kinetic (where you learn by the hands-on approach) or an auditory (where you learn through listening) learner. You could try making flash cards to remember things. Also, having a friend study with you is really helpful. I usually have someone ask me questions (like if I have a study guide) and I'll try to answer them. After that I ask them questions, and we do this repeatedly. It tends to help me remember things better. Another thing that may help would be to connect what you're learning with something else. If you need to remember a list of names, then try to make the first letter of each name into a word. I hope this helps and good luck.

this may sound weird but how do you get to the bongo website like the clothes, ya know.?
cause i went to www.bongo.com
and like the screen is this red-ish orange and if i click anywhere nothing happens and it says its fully loaded
haha
thanks (link)
| |
I went to www.bongo.com, and I got the website. For some reason it isn't loading properly on your computer. Maybe the server was just busy. It also says that bongo is available at 5 7 9, Dillards, Cato, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Gadzooks, Goody's, Pac Sun, Sears and Wet Seal. Maybe they would have them on their site? Just try loading it again, and if that doesn't work, maybe you could try it on a different computer. I hope this helps.

I'm so depressed now a days. I just started this new school that I like so far yesterday. I've made a lot of new friends already and have been getting along great.
A bit about my family: My parents are divorced but now are living together. Not for sex or anything, we just needed some where to live so my dad let us stay with him. I just moved to Orlando, Florida from ATL, Georgia about 2 weeks ago.
Okay, so, I'm in the bathroom straightening my hair and my dad is in the living room talking on the phone. My mom's out, and she won't tell me where she's going.
I hear him talking to a realtor because the landlords are kicking us out December 1st because someone is moving in. He's talking about how she's all messed up and goes out and drinks, and how she shouldn't be doing that when she has a kid to raise. I started crying because, well, that's just kind of hard for a kid to hear when she had no freakin clue WHAT her mom is doing.
Now i'm so worried about her. She will never talk to me when I bring up drinking because she divorced my dad because he was an alcoholic.
NOW! she wants to move TO A DIFFERENT STATE AGAIN when December 1st rolls around, forcing me to start over again at a new school. THATS THREE SCHOOLS IN ONE YEAR! that's alot for a 13 year old girl to go through, don't you think? She won't even let me talk when it comes to that subject either.
I love my mom so much and she's my best friend, but I feel like I don't know her anymore. What do I do, how do I help her, and how do I get my opinion across without causing a fit?
Thanks in advance
=[ (link)

I'm really sorry to hear that. Write your mom a letter and tell her how you feel. Your whole family is going through a lot right now, and she probably feels lost and alone. Let her know that you're there for her, but that you need someone to be there for you too because it's just as hard on you as it is on her. Let her know that it hurts you when she goes out drinking. A lot of times parents don't see what they are doing to the kid unless you tell them (although they should). I'm sure it's tough for her to be living in the same house with her ex, and she may feel she needs to get away. Ask her if you can get some family counseling. You shouldn't have to worry about her problems, you are just a kid, and you should be able to live in a stable environment. Let your parents know that you don't want to move again. If you can't talk to them, writing them a letter would be a very good way to get your point across. That way you can think of everything you want to say, and make them sit down and talk with you about it, like a family meeting. I hope this helps, and if you have anymore questions or if you just want to talk please e-mail me. Good luck with everything.

Im going to try crack or coke with my friend in a couple days for the first time so my question is, if i only do it once, what can happen? Can i form an addiction right away? Whats worse crack or coke? I'm going to try the one thats less harmful on my body. People with experience plz help. so far ive drank alcohol, smoked pot and cigarettes, and taken speed. So i know what its like to be high and drunk or whatever. pls advice ppl. thanks (link)
| |
The other answers given to you are correct. Even if you don't die, you could form a serious addiction from it. It only takes one time to get addicted. Smoking crack and doing coke is much different from drinking alcohol, smoking pot and smoking cigarettes. I personally have known someone who did too much coke, passed out, and almost choked to death on his own vomit. If his friend wouldn't have walked it to turn him over, he would be dead right now. He started out by "only trying it once". He's been in and out of jail and rehab ever sense and still isn't clean. He started out by drinking and smoking pot and it lead to more serious things suck as cocaine, crack, meth, and herione. These are very dangerous drugs and not something to be taken lightly. Why would you want to do something like that to yourself or the people you love? There are so many people I went to school with who tried drugs once and are hooked. It never leads anywhere good. If you do this, you will regret it later. Once you are addicted, you are always addicted. Even if you are lucky enough to stop taking the drugs, you will still have urges and side effects from them. Coke and crack deplete your body of nutrients and can cause your teeth to fall out, you can lose a tremendous amount of weight, and it causes you to look really old, not to mention the internal side effects. That's why you never see a pretty crack head. Once your addicted, it changes you as a person. You become dependent on the drug and you will try to get it no matter what it takes. That's why most people who do drugs live on the street. I've heard of instances where someone bought a guys house for twenty bucks just because he wanted more crack. He signed it over to him and everything. Here are some websites so you can read up on it. Please don't try it. If you have anymore questions or need someone to talk to please feel free to contact me.

That definitely sounds like a urinary tract infection. Just so you know that's not an STD and it can be treated. Drink lots of water and cranberry juice. You should also avoid baths and washing with scented soaps. I suggest you go to a pharmacy and tell them your symptoms and see if they can suggest something you could take over-the-counter to help. There are herbal supplements that help with urinary tract infections. It will eventually get better, but it will come back if it's not treated. You need to keep your appointment even if it starts to feel better. There is something you can get from the pharmacy that tells you if you have a bacteria infection or if it's something else (you pee on a stick, similar to a pregnancy test). I'm not sure what it's called, but call or go to your pharmacy. You should make an appointment to see a gynecologist to get checked out. They can also put you on the pill while you're their (if you're not already). Make sure that you are both very clean before you have sex, and use protection because urinary tract infections are contagious (he can catch it from you and you can spread it back and forth). I hope this helps and good luck!

Heyy y'all :D
I'll get right to it -
lets say there was a list of 10000 different classes you could take, everything from cooking to selfdefense, what class would you take? ölike, what would you actually ENJOY doing (not like math and physics haha) what seminar would you willingly go to, to hear about a class..
so basically, if you could invent a class that doesn't exist what would it be?
or have you ever been to some kind of class that you would love to go to again or even have as a real class in school?? (link)
| |
I would love to take several classes. I would like to take a class to learn how to cook Chinese food. I would like to take a forensics class. I'm also very interested in the mind of a serial killer (I'm not quite sure what the class would be called). I love psychology classes and I love learning how the mind works. I've liked all of the psychology classes I've taken in high school and in college. I also loved my Humanities class (1500's to the present). I hope this helps.

So this has started ever since highschool began, I can't eat breakfast, I just feel nausia when I see food, eggs, bacon, poptarts, sandwichs. I know its unhealthy I've been forcing myself to eat breakfast now! Yesterday I forced myself to eat a poptart and I threw up, I only had 4 bites? It's almost been a month and my parents are getting annoyed that I don't eat what they make me to eat. But then at like 9:59am-12:00pm I'm starving. Why is this happening?! And I have diahhrea now, which I have no clue why! HELP!
:( (link)
| |
I am exactly the same way. It's normal for some people. Don't force yourself to eat when you're not hungry, but I suggest you drink a glass of milk before school to put something in your stomach. Hopefully if you do that for a week or so your body will get used to a schedule and you'll be able to eat in the mornings. Bring something small to class with you so you can have something to snack on until lunch starts. I've always had that problem. I can't eat breakfast and I haven't been able to since around the beginning of high school (I'm 21 now). So it's not uncommon, but it can be annoying. I suggest waking up on the weekends and eating breakfast (that way if you feel sick you'll be at home and not at school). You just need to keep on a schedule of eating that your body can adjust to. You could also try drinking green tea in the mornings because it helps with nausea, honey also helps. You could also try eating dry toast in the mornings. If none of this helps, then I suggest you go to the doctor just to make sure it's not something more serious. I hope this helps.

Okayy, SO. Everyone says your supposed to shave your vag? I don't get why. I want to but when I'm about to lets say my hair's are 'to long' so it feels like i'm pulling them when i shave it kinda hurts but gives me chills, what should i do? (link)
| |
You're not "supposed to" shave. It's your personal preference. If you want to shave, then do it. Some people do it, some don't. You can even shave some areas and not others (some people leave a strip of hair in the middle). For some people it's more comfortable and you feel cleaner. If you want to shave, you should trim it really short first. Make sure you have a new raizor so it isn't dull. Shaving cream with moisturizer is the best because you don't want to get those red bumps. It may also itch at first if you don't shave regularly (when the hairs grow back). So if you want to shave, keep in mind that it's something that you're going to have to get used to. If you shave too frequently you can also get red bumps too. I hope this helps.

No explanations please, just a straight up answer.

It's easier to get pregnant after your period. Here's a website for more info. Hope this helps.

I have a sore breast, it started about six months ago and i have already been to the doctors about it.
They reffered me to a clinic who said there wasn't a lump and refused to give me a mammogram, the doctors said it was just due to my age.
She also said it should go away by itself in a couple of months, that was 3 months ago.
Should i be worried, should i go back to the doctors or am i just being paranoid? There is a history of cancer in my family but not breast cancer.
I just need some reassurance that its okay! (link)
| |
It's normal to have sore breasts if you're younger and still growing. How old are you? They could also be sore from wearing the wrong size bra. Do they still feel sore if you don't wear a bra for a long period of time? Have you noticed them getting bigger? Mine get sore, only because they are still growing. Hopefully the soreness will go away, but if you're that worried about it, go back to your doctor. Tell them that they wouldn't give you a mammogram. You should have one about every five years, and every couple of years when you reach your 40's, so it's ridiculous for them to tell you no. Is there someone else you could go to? It's your decision if you want to have one, not theirs. I hope I helped and feel free to e-mail me if you have anymore questions.

ok, how do you write an essay, because i have to write an essay on grease the musical? thanks in advance (link)
| |
First of all, it depends on what the teacher's requirements are. Did they give you a guideline to go by? Also, what grade are you in? Different teachers have different expectations of their students. Some also grade harder. First you need to do research. Find out about the musical etc. Do you need to do a bibliography (if you don't know, it's a list of all the sources you used to do the paper so you give credit to the authors). It may make it easier to do an outline. The proper way to write an essay is to start out with the introduction. Most essays are five paragraphs. The introduction should be the shortest. Start out with an introduction sentence. The very last sentence should be the thesis statement. A thesis statement is what the entire paper is about. It sums it up in just one sentence. If you have three topics, you should list these in the thesis statement in the order in which you are going to put them in the following paragraphs. After the introduction paragraph, you need three body paragraphs. Each paragraph needs its own subtopic. If you're writing about dogs, then your thesis statement could be "Dogs are good pets because they are loyal, obediant, and loving." Then, your second paragraph would be about how they are loyal, your third paragraph about how they are obediant, and your fourth paragraph about how they are loving. The fifth paragraph will be your conclusion. The conclusion sums up your essay. You could say "In conclusion, dogs are good pets because they are loyal, obediant and loving". The conclusion is about the same length as the introduction paragraph and it restates the thesis statement in different words. I hope this helps. If you have anymore questions I'd be more than willing to help. Good luck!

alright, im studying for a test, and im in desperate need of your help..physics is HARD!

So here we go,
what the heck is displacement (S) as in v = s divided by t?? and how do you use it, like in what type of questions?
how do you calculate the instantaneous velocity??
and like, what is it??
thaank youu! (link)
| |
I don't know if this is going to help you or confuse you even more. I recommend asking your teacher or getting a tutor to explain it to you better because it's hard to do over the net. Also, our answers are limited over advicenators because we aren't technically supposed to help with homework, but I understand that you are trying to get help with the information and not get others to do it for you. I did my best and I hope it helps.

I did some research online and apparently there isn't a way to get rid of them. You could try to cover it up with makeup. Hopefully it will go away before you have to go to your moms house. I copy and pasted what I found, so hopefully this will help you out some. Next time tell your boyfriend to be more careful! I hope this helps and good luck!

i have acne, but none of the fash wash things ive tried have worked. what should i do? (link)
| |
If you can't afford Proactiv, you should try a product called Acne Free (sold at Wallmart, grocery stores, etc). It's basically the same thing and works just as good if not better. They also make a scar remover which helps to lighten scars and reduce the redness of pimples. Acne Free is under $20 and if you have severe acne, they make Acne Free for severe acne which is under $30. The scar remover is around $15, if you wanted to try that. Another product you can try is Nature's Cure, which is a pill you take twice a day and it's good if you have acne other places than your face. Here's Acne Free's website: http://www.acnefree.com/af I hope this helps!

13/f/8th grade. i am confused about bra sizes. does it go 32A, 34A, 36A, 32B, 34B, 36B, 32C...etc. or what? (link)
| |
The number (32, 34, 36, etc.) is the measurement around (in inches), and the letter following is the cup size you are, A being the smallest. If you want to get measured for your bra size you can go to Victoria's Secret and they will do it for you. Here's a website with a video if you want more info. I hope this helps!

I`m well liked at school, I have alot of friends. However, I find myself being mean at times. I try not too, but a sarcastic remarks slip out constantly, and I tend to gossip. I've cut down alot, but I'm trying to stop all together.
Any tips on how to be a sweeter person?
(link)
| |
I used to do the same exact thing (and sometimes still do). Once you start, its a hard thing to stop. Basically you just have to think before you speak. Think about how your sarcastic remarks will hurt the other person. Eventually over time you will stop. I have this bad habit (unintentionally) of saying rude remarks when my dads overweight girlfriend is around (not about her, but I've said something about fat people with her in the room... it was definitely embarassing ). I don't think these things, they just come out of my mouth, but only when she is there. I only see them a couple of times a year, but somehow, it still happens, totally without me meaning to. Just consciously think about how you're trying to be nicer to people and eventually it will just come naturally. I hope this helped.

I'm addicted to soda.
I drink up to three a day and I always have one before I go to school to wake me up. When I don't have one, I get big headaches. I really need to stop drinking them, but I've tried so many different methods and none of them worked.
Does anyone know any tips to quitting? (link)
| |
Try to replace the soda with another drink (such as juice etc.). If you have to drink soda, drink diet (it tastes bad, so maybe the taste will make you want something else). I used to drink sodas a lot and I switched to water. Now I hardly ever drink soda and I don't miss it. Soda is really bad for you, so it's a good thing that you're trying to quit. As for the headaches, you're getting them because you're addicted to the caffeine. If you need to get rid of the headaches, you can take Excedrin (it has 65 mg of caffeine) and it should help for a while. Try to stop drinking them slowly instead of quitting all together to make the headaches less intense. If you have money for soda durring school, then just bring enough for lunch or carry your lunch (with a drink other than soda) and leave your money at home so you won't be tempted to buy soda. I hope this helped and good luck!
