I'd love to answer anybody's questions, but I'll usually avoid the ones about friends or relationships because those tend to bore me. :) I am knowledgable in a variety of topics, specifically fashion, etiquette, and questions about spirituality
/religion. Proper grammar and spelling is * sOoOo freekin hAwTt*.
But anyhow, I will try to answer every question as best as I can. I can't promise, however, to sugar-coat things or tell you what you want to hear, or rid my answers of any sarcasm, but I'll try. :)
I am a strong Christian that likes to study other religions, so I can better see eye-to-eye with people who have different opinions than my own. I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be, so please, never take any of my answers too personally. :)
In my spare time, I love playing the piano, listening to folk/indie music, doing volunteer work, writing, studying Spanish, learning about fashion and make-up, and acting competitively.
Ciao! :)

let's say you were stupid enough to steal something when you were young (around 11) and now you're reaching 18 and you've matured alot and grown in faith, and you want to get rid of the damn thing (you've kept it hidden in a drawe in lack of something better to do with it, and you couldnt use it cause the guilt was killing you) what would you do with it? what is the most christian thing to do in this situation? if you dont have the persons adress or phone number anymore so you cant give it back.. should you throw it away? sell it and give the money to a poor person? what would ia pastor say? (im not allowed to go to church.. long story so i cant ask a pastor.. THAT WOULD BE GREAT OMG - can someone please ACTUALLY ask a real pastor/priest about this and tell me what he answered??) thx (link)

Yeah I'm a little put out by the "only Catholics answer" too ... I'm a Christian but I'm not Catholic, and I think I'm perfectly capable of answering. :)
Well I guess I would really have to know the circumstances and what you stole to give you a good answer ... if it's a candy bar I'd just say throw it away and forget about it -- you were 11 -- but if it is like jewelry or something I would do your best to contact the person. If you're sincere about trying to make the situation right again, then God is going to help you out and make it happen. Really it's all about "fixing" the situation with a sincere heart and doing what you feel God is leading you to do. 1 Timothy 1:5 says "The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." Let this be your inspiration for how you decide to deal with this situation. Good luck. :)

i always here some spanish people in my school say "eso ehh". come someone tell me wut it is. i tried google and urban dictionary but google only gave me lyrics and urban dictionary didnt have anything. thnx. (link)

They might be saying "eso es" which means "that is". Maybe they were describing something to each other. :)

I am Catholic. I made my confirmation last year. Except the thing is.. i wasnt really ready. i didnt know god as much as i do now. I am such a better Christian now. I feel connected to him now. I pray every night and follow god as much as i possibly could. I dont cuss or drink or smoke or have sex..or do bad stuff. I kind of picked a confirmation saint name without thinking. It doesnt really relate to me, or hve much meaning to me. of course i researched it, and i thought it was really cool what she did.
But sometimes i think some things we as Catholics do, are kind of pointless. i know god would love me just as much if i wasnt confirmed. baptists dont get confirmed. and i actually dont remember my confirmation as being one of those heart touching special moments.
Am i wrong for feeling this way?
I just want to follow god w/out having to do these things that i find pointless...

Sorry this is so late! I really wanted to answer this one. This is a very legitimate question, and I can relate to a lot of the things you have said!
Catholicism is steeped in tradition. The seven sacraments have been practiced for hundreds of years, and that is why the Catholic church is hesitant to give them up, because that is the way it has always been. When Martin Luther petitioned the Catholic church, he argued that there were only 3 necessary sacraments that could be seen in the Bible: marriage, baptism, and communion. He didn't really see a point in the other four either, because he found no evidence of those being practiced, or even being necessary, in the Bible. Historically, that is where this whole division in the Church began.
So, are the other four sacraments necessary? Well, if you asked a Catholic, they would say yes. I am not Catholic, but I attend an Episcopal church, which is very similar to Catholicism. I do not believe the other fo sacraments are needed for salvation, as God does not mention them in the Bible. Can they hurt you? No. If anything, they might make you a stronger Christian. In order to be saved, all you need is to be baptised and have accepted Christ as your savior -- being confirmed doesn't make you any more or any less "saved". But I believe that is a valid statement of your faith. Some Baptists might disagree with me, but I think I'm the perfect person to answer this question because I fall right in the middle. :)
So my advice for you? Do only what you feel comfortable with. Who cares if the Catholic church disapproves? It's just tradition, that's all. What's most important is that you maintain a strong relationship with God and that you're baptised. All God wants is your heart and your life, so giving your life to Him (like you have done) will get the job done rather than practicing the sacraments with a priest.
Good luck! :) Hope this made some sort of sense ... Feel free to ask me any more questions, too, if you have them! :)

Hi, I have just started to go to church this past year (not real services on Sundays, but rather to youth events on Wednesdays). By the way, my parents don't know that I go and they would definitely not approve.
The thing is, I don't feel that connection although I really want to. When God and Heaven is being discussed, along with all else... I feel like I am acting false because I am not saved. I also don't understand so much.
I listen to testimonies, very emotional ones, yet I cannot bring myself to cry. I see that everyone else just connects with God, while I don't know how. This one girl went to church, listened to a testimony, and was instantly saved. And I wondered, why couln't I do that?
I am afraid of asking for help from the adults in the church, or any other Christians.
I also have no idea how to pray, so I am never able to lead a prayer.
Please help me. How do I become saved? (link)
|
I'm sorry this is like 2 weeks late, but I saw you only had 3 answers and I really wanted to reply to this one!
I definitly understand where you're coming from, because I've been there myself. And I really admire you for opening up and asking all these questions. There's nothing wrong with you! I'm going to address your issues one at a time or else my brain will go into censory overload. :)
WHY DON'T I FEEL THAT "CONNECTION" LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES?
For one thing, God created everybody differently. Some people are more emotional than others. Some people emotionally "latch on" to things quicker than others. Everyone moves at a different pace, so just focus on what you're comfortable with. Don't worry about everyone else. On the other hand, you have been raised in a home (I'm assuming) where God wasn't discussed much. How can you expect yourself to "connect" to God in a matter of hours when you've spent a lifetime without Him? Pray for the person that's leading worship, and ask God for them to say something that will speak to your heart. You may not know what that is, but He does. :) Just trust God and his timing, and I promise, if you ask Him, he won't let you down.
WHO CAN I ASK FOR HELP?
Talk to the youth leader at your church. You might feel more comfortable with this because you can trust that they won't judge you! They talk to people like you all the time, and they would love to help you. Afterall, that's their job. :) You don't have to feel self-concious or "wrong"-- a relationship wtih God is a growing process, just like any other relationship, and they're there to help you grow. Of course, you can always ask me too, if you want. Just send me a message. :) I'll be more than happy to answer your questions.
HOW DO I PRAY?
There is no right or wrong way to pray. I know that when you hear the pastor pray or whatever, it probably sounds all eloquent with big words and whatever, but don't feel like that's what you have to do. Prayer is simply a conversation with God. Talk to him like you talk with your parents or your friends. That's what I do. There are no certain words or rituals you have to follow. Just pray. The more you do it, the more comfortable you'll feel with praying, also. Don't let people pressure you into praying aloud either, if you're not ready. But when you are, just pour your heart out to God and don't care what anybody else is thinking. :)
HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
You'll know when you're ready. People react to God's power in different ways. Some cry their eyes out, (that's me! ha), some get quiet, some get really excited. It all depends on the person. There are no fireworks. It's all in your heart, and trust me, you'll know. :) It's like falling in love with someone, or when you meet the person you know you want to marry. You're fallen in love with God and there's no denying it. ;) When you decide you're ready, you can talk to a friend at church or your pastor, but you don't have to. Simply ask God to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life. To accept God as your Savior is to turn all your sin over to him and want him to change your life so you can live for him. You must recognize that he is the Son of God and that he died on the cross for your sins. That's it. No magic prayer. No special words. But believe me, when it happens, you'll know. :)
Best of luck to you, and really, if you need prayer or some more advice (which, as you can see, I'm full of that -- ha), please ask me. Good luck! :)

I'm a teenage girl (raised catholic) who has been atheist/agnostic/unsure since the summer. I have encountered several recent events in my life that have lead me to believe that there really is a God after all. All of my friends are really strong christians- but I just don't think that God is real.
I don't know if Christianity is right- or even real... but I'm feeling compelled to recommit my life to Christ. What does that mean anyway? How can you "commit your life" to someone who isn't even real? Who IS Jesus? I mean this whole thing makes no sense. How can there be a God when there are so many other religions like islam and such? My prayers never came true as a Christian.
Oh, by the way- I hate going to church and i don't see the point in doing it. It never even brought me closer to this so-called God. To be a true Christian (not a poser) do you HAVE to attend mass? What if I just want to have my OWN faith? I also don't believe in Bible verses and stuff- like I don't think that the people in it were real. Why can't we just have faith in GOD and not all the crap that goes along with it? (link)
|
To recommit your life to Christ is to hand yourself over to God, sin and all, and to begin following in his footsteps as a Christian. Kind of like being born for a second time.. you're starting over fresh, if you just ask him to purify your sins. There's no special ritual or order, all you have to do is sincerely want God to come into your life and He will.
You may not be able to see God, but can things be real without being visible? You've said that events in your life are leading you to believe He exists-- maybe He is real in a different way? Not physically, but in your heart? Jesus is basically God in human form-- one with his father God, and the Holy Spirit who works through those who believe in them.
A lot of people wonder about other religions. How do we know which "God" is real? This is all a matter of faith. For Muslims, Allah is real to them. For those who believe in God, he is real to them. And He is. Becoming a Christian is accepting your beliefs as reality... connecting with God on a spiritual level rather than an earthly one. As humans, we always feel the need to have proof, to have evidence, tangible objects. Now, you need to open up your heart and your mind and accept something that is completely faith-based, that you can't prove 100% but accept as reality nonetheless. Of course there's room for skepticism-- even the strongest Christians ask questions once in awhile-- but don't let that shake your faith. That is Satan trying to change your mind.
God calls his people to go to church. Of course you hate it-- right now you see no purpose in God and aren't even sure you believe in him. But give God the opportunity to reveal himself to you-- if you stay closed-minded, how are you ever going to let him work in your life? As for churches, maybe Catholic mass isn't your cup of tea. Look at other churches and other denominations. Take notes, listen closely, observe other worshipers and see what you like / dislike about each one. Come with an open mind and leave with one. You may surprise yourself.
Many people choose their own faith .. but do you think you can find closure in something you've fabricated yourself? If I decide to start my own college course -- triangular scarf cooking -- do you think the students who attend are going to feel "full" after the course? Do you think they'll feel content with what they've learned, like they've somehow enriched their lives? Um, no. Because it's all crap. You can't just make stuff up like that.
As for all the "crap" that goes with Christianity, see if you still think it's crap once you've truly invited God into your life. If you don't, then yep, it's all still probably crap to you. But it's not, believe me. As a believer for about 5 years, you suddenly crave God's word and being with other believers. But again, it's not something you can fully understand until it's you.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. Also, read some of the other spirituality questions in my column, a lot of other people have asked similar questions to you. Good luck! :)

Bear with me; this is a several part question.
-Is it morally wrong to give advice about a situation you've never been in? For example, give sex advice if you've never had sex?
-Is it morally wrong to give advice you don't follow, even if the advice is sound? For example, an eating disordered person giving nutrition advice, or a couch potato giving exercise tips? What if this information is provided to correct erroneous information offered by another source?
This is assuming that the advice you give is valid, despite it being contradictory to your actions. I'm interested in seeing what people think. (link)
|
I've wondered this myself! Glad that someone finally asked.
I personally only give advice on something I've had experience with, or a friend of mine has had experience with. (More specifically, life experience or research.) I would want someone to do the same for me instead of giving me some BS answer. I see it as a courtesy thing. If someone is trusting you with their problems / questions, you should give them the best answer. If I don't know, I don't answer it. Morally wrong? I wouldn't go that far. But courteous? Most likely.
I try not to give advice that I don't follow, although it can be tempting. :) The majority of the questions that I answer aren't so much advice about "actions" (relationships, how-to's, etc.) but more of knowledge or facts (fashion advice, spirituality, etc.) Does that make any sense? If I do see erroneous information given out, I will make an effort to correct them. Again, a courtesy thing. I would want someone to correct my answer as well, or tell me if I was getting incorrect information.

i wash my face once a day with proactive. it works pretty good except for a few blemishes here and there. i use to have the worst acne about a year ago and it left my face, scar-ed, fish scaly, and oily :(
i dont know what to do! i can't wash my face in the morning before i go out because it leave my face dryer than ever! but i have a realy problem because my face then get's really oily thought out the day! it's so bad it takes my make-up off! what can i do! i've tried so many different lotions but everything just dried out my face even more!
is there anything out there i can do! i powder my face every liek 2 hours and still nothing works! please help me. if it helps, i recentyl started tanning. thanks
(link)

Tanning, as well as over-doing the powder, can seriously dry out your skin. Make sure you use an oil-free moisturizer every morning. If you don't, your skin just becomes dryer and trys to over-compensate by producing lots of oil. So, although it may seem contradictory, you need to make sure you're using about a nickel-sized amount of face moisturizer every day. Lots of brands put Benzol Peroxide in theirs, which is used to help treat acne.
Also, make sure you aren't using too many different face washes. Trying out too many products, which you said you've been doing, can be bad for your skin. Start a routine, and stick with the same moisturizer, face wash, and exfoliator if you can. (Wash 1-2 times a day, and exfoliate 1-2 a week.)
Also, you might want to buy some oil-blotting sheets. Clean & Clear makes some for $4 or so. You just dab them over your face when you start to look oily, and they don't take your make-up off. DON'T keep adding on the powder- your face will look cakey and it will only keep coming off. You can't really "cover up" oil.
If none of those suggestions work, I would talk to a dermatologist. It may be that the Proactiv you're using is drying out your face, and they can recommend a product that's better for you. :)

well i've noticed a few people around my school with these gorgeous deep blue/green/teal color eyes. once i ask them about it, they say it's certain contacts they use that have a tint in them. i think they're eyes are like absoluely beautiful and i was wondering would it be safe for me if i started using contacts to get the same affect. i have 20/20 eye sight and i don't want to mess it up! Right now, i have bllack eyes, but i really want them to stand out! what color should i get if i get one? I was wondering if it would be safe to wear contacts the whole day, everyday, but only for visual affects (nothing that helps eye sight). also, whats your opinion on this? do you think this looks cheap and fake? i also had eye infection before because i was wearing too much eyeliner i think or because i waas sharing my eye maekup . do you think its still poossible for me to be ABLE to wear those fresh look contacts? thank you for your advice! (link)
|
You should ask your eye doctor. I have lots of friends who wear them, and they haven't had a problem yet (as far as I know), but I hear a lot in magazines, in the news, etc. that they can be dangerous. So I would see what your doctor says. They should be able to recommend a higher-quality brand or tell you if they're safe or not. I would hate for you to lose your vision because someone on a website told you to go for it...
I love the look of colored contacts, actually. (Although I haven't gotten the nerve to try them yet.) I think they look really beautiful unless you get the red cat eye ones or something. Ha. I personally don't think they look fake really, but that's just me. :)

I'm kind of confused about what I believe in. You see, my family and I don't go to church because my parents want me to make my own decision about what religion I want to be, even though they are Catholic. But I'm not really sure about what religion I am. I'm a strong believer in karma and that things eventually even out and that people get what they deserve eventually(although that's not how it seems to be working out in my life right now...) but anyways, I believe in God but I believe in karma, too. Is that like a contradiction? Can you believe in both? Just a thought. (link)
|
Yes, that would be contradicting God. First of all, the Bible doesn't mention anything about karma. Karma is primarily a Hindu belief, and I believe maybe Buddhist too.
Secondly, God works as one with the Holy Spirit and Jesus to work in peoples' lives, not a powerful force, like karma.
I believe in basic cause and effect, if you can even call that a belief. ( "If I do this, this may result.") But Karma? It's not that complicated.

Okay so sometimes I do like attention. (Example: If I dyed my hair a new color) but once people get close to me or try to.. It scares me.
I can't look at them. I can't even look at people in their eyes. I can only do that with one person and that's my really close friend of almost 2 school years.
because with her, I don't think she's judging me. it's hard to explain. i don't really care what people think. but i don't like people getting up close and reading my eyes. it makes me think they can read me and see emotion.
it just bothers me.
how can i get over it?
i've noticed that i avoid eye contact and sometimes i look up for a mere second .. then i get scared and look down. (link)
|
I totally understand what you mean! A lot of people are intimidated by close contact. Eye contact, especially, is something that you have to practice and will feel uncomfortable at first, but once you've gotten into the habit, it will feel totally natural and you won't even notice you're doing it.
Try this. Next time you're talking to your teacher or someone you're not good friends with, count in your head how long you're able to maintain eye contact with them. Or put a stop watch in your pocket maybe and do it that way. Each time, see if you can beat your record by 5 seconds. Don't stare them down (ha), but you can nod your head a little bit, move your hands, smile, etc. so it still feels like you're having a regular conversation.
Good eye contact is an excellent skill to have, especially for the business world, so definitly try to make a habit of it!
|
I'm really shy and I think I'm developing a crush on this guy.
How do I get his attention?
Should I wear my hair differently?
Because I already smile at him and strangely.. he smiles back. This rare cute smile.
Sometimes he comes up to me and tries to sit next to me.
Today, this lady handed out pens for everyone (math class~ to correct) and he didn't get a good pen. So he decided to take mine.. and he started to walk away. Then someone said something.. and he turned around and I gave him a /look/ .. he stopped and smiled.. and laughed.
I'm going to start to play this game (that he told me about) .. will that help bring up conversation? Like.. can you help me with the game. Explain it to me sort of thing?
Even if he doesn't like me. I'll love to have him as a friend that I could talk to and hang out with.
He's a year older than me though. He's a junior. Are juniors really interested in sophomores? (link)
|
Guys usually don't notice stuff like new hairstyles or make-up. What they DO notice is attention. So smiling at him is a good start. Why not just strike up a conversation with him after class one day? He may be just as shy as you are, and that will be nice for him not to have to approach you!
About the game... I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never heard of that before!
I think it's perfectly possible that a junior could be interested in a sophomore. Times are changing and dating in highschool isn't really limited to just your grade now. That doesn't mean I'm recommending dating a 20 year old though! Ha. So I'd give it some time and keep doing what you're doing! Good luck! :)

I was just wondering about 2 things. First off, I have noticed alot of people look in your eyes when they talk to you & I tend to look at someones mouth more when we are talking. What is the difference & what does it mean? Also, how can you "read" someones eyes? All I see is a glassy eyeball. How can you tell how they are feeling by looking into their eyes? Thanks! (link)
|
Oh my goodness. Eye contact is possibly the most important habit you can learn! This is coming from a theatre student, but it drives me crazy when people stare at your forehead when you talk. It is considered polite to look into someone's eyes when they're speaking (whether it's directly to you or a group, like a teacher)-- it show's your paying attention and interested in what they have to say. I'm not saying you have to stare them down, but just acknowledging what they're saying by looking in their eyes will make a huge difference in job and college interviews, especially.
I'm not a body language expert, but if someone is squinting a lot, that probably means they're confused or angry. (Or the sun's in their eyes. Haha.) What a person does with their eyebrows also says a lot about what they're thinking. Just think about what you do with your eyes when you're excited, tired, sad, surprised, angry, etc. and watch in the mirror to see what they do. Maybe that will help you?

This may have some information.. but personally I think that's way too complicated and useless.

i guess this goes under this category but i dont really know ok so recently we had some people come to our school and do this like play thing and it had to do with school shootings and this girl and her mom is an alchohalic and this guy who is always made fun of and he's the one who brings the gun and they had a second part of the play at this church so i went to it and all of the cast memebers are in college and very into god i dont really know another way to say it but one of the cast memebers was talking to a bunch of people and i was listening to him and he was talking about how when he was younger he got into drugs and used to sell them aat Raves and that finaly he got mono and was sober and realized he wanted to make alot of changes in his life and so he did he sobered up and stopped doing and selling drugs and then he found God and so while he was talking i was thinking that i want to make changes in my life and i would like to find God too so now i'm praying every night and trying my hardest not to get in trouble but i was wondering if you want to believe in god do you have to go to church and do you not get to have any fun or like what is it cause i know i want to do what the people from the pla do cause they travel from school to school doing the play and teaching them that if you make fun of someone in could ruin their life and if you stand up for someone it could makeyour life and that persons life so much better and make them feel loved i know this is really long but yeah please HELP i'm so confused on all of this (link)

This is such a great question! I'm truly happy for you, and for wanting to turn your life around.
Becoming a Christian is not about going to church every Sunday, or doing good deeds, like many people believe it is. Romans 10:9 says "If you confess with your mouth that 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Voila. That's it! All God wants from you is your heart and your life, and it sounds to me like you're ready to give these over to Him. If you do this (and become baptized-- but that's a whole other issue) then your guaranteed life forever in heaven with Jesus.
Some people will claim there's a "magic prayer" that buys you your ticket to heaven-- there's not! If you haven't already, just ask God to come into your heart and be your Savior. That mean's you're ready to turn over your sin to God, be forgiven, and believe in Him. No rituals, no magic words, just being honest with God and asking him to come into your life.
Do you have to go to church? Well, technically no. Going to church has nothing to do with whether or not you're going to heaven. But if you've become a Christian, then most likely you want to worship God and learn more about him in a safe, spiritually-healthy environment with other Christians. Do Christians not have any fun? Heck no! :) I consider myself a very fun person, and I have lots of fun friends that are Christians. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing your definition of the word "fun" was no drinking, sex, partying, etc. And you're right, we don't. But do you think people who do that kind of thing are having fun or happy? I'm thinking no. Only Jesus can bring true happiness- "joy". We can still have fun and do things that honor God and are in line with our beliefs.
This isn't part of your question really, but I thought I would bring it up. Christians aren't perfect. We make mistakes, fall into sin, and screw up just as much as everybody else. But God offers forgiveness to everybody who asks for it, because his Son died on the cross for our sins, so if we mess up, we know we're not going to hell for it. :) And that means, if you DO get into trouble, make a mistake, fall into your old ways, you don't have to sweat it. Because God will forgive you if you just ask for it, and your faith will make you strong again.
If you don't mind, whenever you write your feedback, can you tell me your first name? I don't want your address or anything, don't worry. Ha. I'd like to pray for you if that's okay! This is an awesome decision that you're making for yourself right now, and I wish you the best!

Okay, I've noticed lately a lot of people wearing UGGS that look like slippers. (pic at the end of question)
Anyways I was at the mall last week and was in the shoestore and saw a shoe just like that which wasn't UGGS, but were very close. And they were only about 15 dollars... which surprised me a lot, but I didn't get them, even though I really liked them and thought they were just adorable..
any ways I am just asking for your advice, I really want these shoes. Should I go back and get them? Or is this just a fashion crisis, getting shoes that look like, but aren't, uggs?? (I dont believe they were exactly fake uggs, they had a brand name but idk what it was lol) my family cant afford to buy me real 120 dollar uggs, and this was much like them. Shoudl I get them? Thanks in advance.
Here is the picture:

Definitly! I'm all about saving money. If anybody is staring at your feet to figure out if they're real or not ... then that's just weird. They're just a fad anyways - as in, not always going to be "in style" (I'm surprised the trend has held on as long as it has)- so if you're going to, drop your money on something timeless instead.

So I want to punk-out an old pair of jeans I have without ruining them. Ideally, I'd like to be able to cover the jeans with a spattering pattern with bleach, but I don't want to mess up and make more holes than I already have. How can I bleach some spots without the bleach eating through and dissolving the denim? How do I do it, and how long should it take? Keep in mind I'm also going to be adding some pins and ribbons to make them look really funky and rocking. Any other tips and tricks are appreciated.
Thanks so much!

I've never tried this, but maybe you could try dipping one of those bigger paintbrushes in some bleach and splattering it all over the jeans? Like artists do with paint. :) If those are too small of dots ... maybe you could like dip a rag or something in and do it that way?
Also, my friend bought a pair of jeans with plain back pockets and used one of those bleach pins to do a cute design on them before washing them. It was REALLY cute and they look expensive. So maybe you could try that? Just make sure, whatever you do, that you "experiment" on a piece of denim or other fabric to make sure it comes out okay. Don't want to ruin a perfectly good pair of jeans. :)

My friends and i used a quiji board i didn't really want to. And without asking my friend asked when i was going to die and how. It said i would only be 36. And in a car fire. Now i'm really scared. I beleive heavily in god and jesus and i need to know thats it's all bull. I don't really beleive in it but i'm still scared. I'm 14 and i kinda wanna know what it is moving the board. Cause i really don't think it was a spirit. Did somthing ever come true for people out there. What should i do? (link)

Ouiji (sp?) boards are full of crap. Period. If you want to know how to die, you might as well go to a salon, watch a Scandinavian man get his chest waxed, and see what the patches of hairless skin spell out.
My advice? Never do one of those again. They're just there to scare you and get you to believe in false ideas that Satan knows go against your personal beliefs. Feel free to take a road trip when you're 36, because those things mean nothing.

I'm flying for the first time tomorrow night and I'm very scared. Can someone just tell me anything on how to calm my nerves and feel safer about flying?
Thank you. (link)

I think michelle underneath me means how "uncommon it is for planes to crash"... haha.
If you have an I-Pod or a CD player, I would take that with me and don't take it out of your ears until you land. :) Or read a book. Sleeping is good too, but some people can't do that.
Maybe, if you can help it, don't sit in a window seat, it doesn't bother me but the view from 36,000 feet might freak some people out. :) Also, she's right about security-- first of all, terrorists have already tried the airplane one on us before, so they aren't going to do something that America has prepared for for 5 years with outrageous rules and air marshalls, because they know we're expecting it. Second, the odds of your plane being the one full of terrorists is next to none, as there are lots of airlines in the world and thousands of planes. So just sit back, enjoy the ride, and think about how cool of an invention the airplane is to begin with. :)

I had a horrible day today in school. I prefer not to go throught the details, but all I will say is that i have not had a day like this in a long time. How can i relax myself and forget about this terrible day? (link)
| |
Whenever I have a bad day, I usually call one of my friends and just spill to them, followed by some ice-cream therapy. :) If the problem IS your friends, than I like to write in a journal a letter to them telling them what I would say to them in person if I could, and explain why I'm upset. Or you could talk to a parent. I love to sit outside too with my dogs; the air is really relaxing and it's hard to have your dogs be mad at you. :) Sorry you had a bad day... hope it gets better!

13 female.
I was at my friend's house [19 male] with a bunch of different friends. He asked his other friend [21 male] if mammoths were during human age or before us. Brian said before us. I'm a christian, but that day i had just taken a class in history about all the animals BEFORE us [public school].
Brian said "yes." [remember i was super tired] and i was like "...are you serious?" and they are were like "haha you are so dumb" [they were just kidding] but i had nothing to say so i turned around cuz i'm shy.
what would be either a good thing to say or a good comeback to if you say something wrong and people make fun of you for future use?
thanks. :] (link)

Question ... why is a 13 year old girl hanging out with 19 and 21 year old guys?
I think that's rather dumb for them to make fun of you, but you'll sound even stupider if you say something gay like "your mom" or something. You'll just add to the embarrassment. Just laugh it off and make fun of yourself. Everybody says dumb things once in awhile, so don't sweat it. :)

Hey iam 17 years old and i have this really bad cussing habit that iam trying to stop.
How do i stop? (link)
|
I feel ya. Good for you to want to try and stop! You just have to realize that it doesn't sound as cool as you initially think it does. A lot of times I'll hear people at school cussing who sound rather dumb and the stupidity of it seems a lot more obvious when you're hearing it from someone else. :)
Also, surround yourself with people who don't cuss. Kind of like trying to kick a drug habit or something ... you're more likely to fall back in if you're hanging around people who are doing it. Or challenge your friends to stop cussing with you, so you can hold each other accountable. Or you can reward yourself for every day you go without cussing. And remember, you don't hear lawyers or doctors or politicians cuss, so people with clean mouths make the most money. :)
