my best friend (he's a dude and i'm a girl) just went back to jail for 5 days and it's his last chance to behave and not mess up probation before he goes away for like 2 years...what can i do to make him not be so ignorant about something so serious..if it helps he just told me he liked me before he went away..he'll be back on tuesday but as i said its his last chance. (link)
Well if you like him, you should tell him this. And you should also make it clear that your relationship would only work if he stays out of trouble (ie. threatening to break up if he has to go back to prison). If he really likes you, then he would not want to lose you, so he would not break probation.

If you don't like him. You should first tell him how you feel, and explain to him that you don't want to see him throw his life away by going to prison for two years. If he is a really good friend, he will listen to you. Explain how hurt and lost you would be if you lost your best friend and he probably would not want to hurt you so he would not break probation.

I have never been in your situation, but I know someone who has. I hope I helped.


well in april im going to d.c. with my school from the 17-20.

and i wanna go and have a good time.
but i get homesick and then i get upset and like start to cry.

&it happens when i eat too, like at dinner id prob. get upset.

and i need ways to not get homesick, like things i can do that really work and like not make me more upset.

thanks. (link)
Okay I went to a sleep away camp and here are some things that I did to not be homesick.

-I wouldn't bring a picture of your family because that just would make you think about them a lot and make you miss them more.

-Bring a cellphone and call them whenever you feel like you are going to be upset. It is best that you talk to them over the phone than talk to friends who don't always know what's going on.

-Try to stay busy. Don't completely forget about your family, just don't try to think about them too much. Once you start to think about your family, then you will feel homesick again. Have fun with your friends and make the most of the day.

-Talk a lot during dinner to keep your mind off missing your family. This would keep your mind off of what you miss and keep it on the moment.

Have fun in Washington DC and I hope my advice helped.


My hair is sooooooo poofy!! I absoulutly HATE it. I take a shower every morning and it's great when I first get out, soft, shiney, wavy, and relitivly flat. 30 minutes later it's still soft, still shiney, still wavy, but (and I know this 4 a fact) it's 2 inches thicker. How can I stop this? I'll try anything, please!! Any good help will get a five, and I'll answer 1 of your questions!! (link)
Heyy this is a problem of mine! Haha well what I do, is I use Sunsilk anti-poof shampoo and conditioner (dark blue bottle) when I take a shower. And when my hair is toweled dried I put Frizz-Ease anti-poof serum in it. I have also used Biosilk and it works well too.. its just a little expensive. Anyway. When you brush your hair, spray it with hairspray before you brush it for extra protection so it stays down during the day. This helps for my hair so I hope it works for you too!


didnt know what category to put this in..
uhm what does nukka meann ??

i've been looking on the internet and i cant seem to find some PIANO sheet music for existentialism on prom night by Straylight run
and i really need it
could you help me find it? or give me a link? (link)
Hey there. Just found the sheet music. You have to download it from the website and it gives you lyrics, the song, and sheet music. The song is very good by the way I'm listening to it right now.

Tell me if this helps :)


ok, so i was just wondering if all the rumors are true about proactive being horrible... i need something to help get rid of mild acne, and i was thinking about trying proactive, so i was just wounering if it was ok to use.. or not.. if not what do you sugest that i use?? thx in advance (link)
My brother uses proactive and it really did work on him. He didn't get any side effects so I don't think its horrible. There are also some kids in my school that I know use it and they have practically perfect skin. So if you are choosing whether or not to try proactive, my advice would be do it. Anyways don't you get a free thirty days or something? I heard it on the radio a few weeks ago... I'm not sure if it is still like that anymore but whatever it's off topic. Anyways I say yes go with proactive


are confidence and self esteem the same thing pretty much? i dont want like a deffintition of them or anything i just want a short answer. thanks yo. =] (link)
To me, yes they are closely related. Basically you can't have confidence if you don't have a high level of self esteem and with this self esteem you acheive confidence. Does that work?


do u know what the song is that goes..



"la la la, all around the world it's lalalala" that's all i know because it says that a lot.
anyone know who does it &/or the song name? (link)
Artist = Atc

Song = Around the World (La La La La)

Lyrics = http://artists.letssingit.com/around-the-world-la-la-la-la-lyrics-around-the-world-la-la-la-la-9wkvccm

just thought I'd give you the website I found the lyrics at... :)


what does the phrase "like a fish out of water" mean (link)
To me, this phrase means that something really doesn't belong with it's surroundings... to dictionary.com.... it means a person out of his or her proper or accustomed environment... so basically the same thing :) hoped I helped.


I'm not sure if this is the right category but...

Today we were playing soccer in gym and I was the goalie [and I'm the least athletic girl you'll ever find] and we weren't using regular soccer balls since the last one got kicked up onto the rooft -- dont ask-- and so we were using one of those hard, rubber dodge balls filled with air and this girl that just happened to be very athletic kicked it and I tried to block it with my hand (didn't work by the way) and the ball bent my wrist way back and I had ice on it for the whole day in school.

It's a little swollen and I can't move my wrist without it hurting [I couldn't pick my violin up, write, tie my hair, hold onto stuff, etc--I can move it a little but it hurts like crap]

Is it sprained or something? And what should I do? [don't say put ice on...it's kinda obvious]

Thanks very much!!!!! (link)
Its a sprain or something worse. Most likely a sprain because I don't think you could break it by getting hit with the ball because I am a soccer player and the balls don't go fast enough to break them... but what do I know, I'm not a doctor. That's what you should do, go to a doctor and see what they say. You may need a xray to make sure everythings okay and that you didn't break it. Besides put on ice, I heard that you do 20 minutes ice on and 20 minutes ice off, but since you don't want to know about the ice then disregard that. Also, if you have a heating pad, that may help it, or if you have bengay (sp) haha just put that one... maybe the muscle was damaged? I don't know that much about injuries sorry. Well, hope you feel better.

Hi i'm a sophomore and my boyfriend is also a sophomore and we've been dating for a year and a half. Only juniors and seniors are allowed to go to prom, but they can take freshman or sophomores as dates. This girl who is my friend and is also my boyfriends friend asked him to go to prom with her, but he didn't know what to say. So he asked me if he should or not. And I dont really want him to go with her because she always flirts with him. And I just don't feel comfortable with him going with her. So I guess my question is... Is it okay to tell him that I don't want him to go or is that too controlling? Because i don't want to be a mean girlfriend who won't let her boyfriend do anything, but I just feel bad if I don't let him go. Thanks! (link)
Wow that is a tough situation. If I was you, I would just simply talk to your boyfriend and let him know what you feel and what you are thinking. He may not feel comfortable going with this other girl, you never know until you talk to him. Also, I don't think you would controlling at all if you tell him you don't want him to go. Prom is a big deal in high school and people want theirs to be memorable. I don't know what that is implying but I am trying to say that if you don't want your boyfriend to go, tell him. You've probably been together long enough to have a serious, no jokes conversation. Well, hope this helps.


i have had an ear iinfection for about 3 months now it will not stop!!!!! (link)
DOCTOR APPOINTMENT! Haha my two words of advice because you never know, if you don't get treatment it could turn into a long-term injury (?), disease (?), well I don't know the word but I hope you understand what I mean. If you don't just let me know and I'll try to explain it in a different way because the way that I am is not working... sorryyyyyy


I found out a few hours ago that my grandma isn't doing very well. She had a surgery on her hand the other day and since then she has passed out, felt dissy and felt really sick. Everytime I think about it I want to cry. I am so scared something really bad is going to happen to her. What should I do? (link)
My friend just went through a similar situation. All you can do is be there for her and your family. You have to comfort your family and let them comfort you when you feel sad. A friend would also help, I know me and my friend helped our best friend through this situation. Talking about this situation could also help you understand it more. When you are alone, just try your best not to think about it, but don't completely block it out of your mind (if that makes sense). And pray. As cliche as that sounds, praying sometimes helps ease the pain. Good luck and I wish your grandmother luck too.


Okay, I applied to work at this camp called Camp Wonderland, and it's a place where children and adults who have mental and physical disabilities. If I get hired, I need to find a way to raise money for the five hour drive to get there and back twice. For my car, a full tank of gas is 35 bucks. (145 dollars) And there is a week where we'll have to pay 150 dollars to be able to go out of state. So somehow I need to raise about 300 dollars. What businesses would be good to ask for money? What fundraisers will be good to raise money? If I get this job, I will need the money by May 10th. (link)
My class (sophmore) is really good at fundraisers and we made a lot of money selling chocolate bars during school. I think we made over a thousand dollars. This however is not allowed anymore because of the strict eating habits of the school but that's beside the point. Car washes I've found have also helped raise a lot of money for me (you should wait for the weather to warm up first). We have also sold t-shirts that we made for the specific cause (like saving a pet donkey in the town). Just some ideas that could help you. I don't know of any organizations that would give money... sorry.


My Daughter is 11 and she tells me shes old anough to babysit but i dont know if she should. I started babysitting when i was 11 but i want to make sure its a good age. Please help! (link)
Honestly, I started at 13. It depends if you think she is ready to handle other people's children. She has to be able to stay awake until the parents got home (I found they don't like it if you fall asleep) and not too young to be scared of all the noises in the house alone. I guess what I'm trying to say is it is based on her maturity (spelling?) level and if she can handle other people's kids for a couple of hours. I don't know if advice from a 16 year old is going to help, but good luck anyway


I am 13 and I am old enough to babysit something i have always wanted to do for a little extra cash!! But i have no clue how to get started how do i get to babysit i have no clue can anyone give me advice? (link)
I know one person in my neighborhood sent out flyers in the mail advertising herself to be a babysitter... now I don't know how successful she was because lets just say we aren't the best of friends. The way that I got started was that I told my mom I wanted to and she talked to some of her friends from the neighborhood telling them that if they needed someone they could call me. Basically that's how I started and soon people I didn't know called me looking for a sitter because I was "recommened" by the first family I babysat. Don't be discouraged if they don't call you to babysit again, believe me sometimes its not the end of the world ;). I have had three families I babysat almost every other weekend for and then they suddenly stopped calling. Wow I'm off topic sorry. So yea just have your mom "suggest" it to friends of hers that may have younger kids.


i have trouble remembering a joke longer than like 3 sentences

is there anything to help this

maybe i shouldnt try to do it verbatim but it sounds better in the original words the author of the joke wrote (link)
If I need to memorize something, I just keep reading it out loud again and again. Then, I write it down about ten times. That always helps me. Maybe it will help you.


well my friend rene needs help on losing wait like about 20 lbs can u please give me tips on losing weight for my friend rene thanks (link)
I knew someone who went on a diet where she took out all carbs. She didn't eat bread for about two monthes and I thought she looked thinner. Its a method that may not work for all but its worth a try. Oh and she also excerised (sp) about three times a week and I think that played a part in it. I don't know if this is very helpful but good luck


what card games do people usually play and how do you play them?

- go fish, concentration, war everyone knows and i know b.s.

- hmm what is president? there is another name for this game but i will get in trouble if i name it

- anything else (link)
I don't know what concentration is, but there is an easy game called spoons that is fun. What you do is have more than 2 people sit in a circle with some type of object (small like pebbles or beads) in the center of the circle (enough for everyone but one in the pile). You can also play with your tongues... i'll explain afterwards. Everyone is dealt four cards. There is a dealer and the person to the left of the dealer is the garbage. The dealer picks up on card from the pile and sees if they need it to make their hand four of a kind. They can switch this card with any card they pick up, but they are not allowed to have more than four cards in their hand at once. After the first person picks up the card, if they do not need it they pass it to the next person and the dealer picks up another card. The dealer would swap with their own card if they did need it. The second person would do the same and pass it to the next. When a card reaches the garbage person, it is put in a separate pile. When someone gets four of a kind, they secretly grab one of the items in the middle or stick their tongue out. If someone else sees this happening they would do the same. The last person to stick their tongue out or the one without an item from the middle gets a letter and the first to spell out SPOON looses.

Another good game... HEMPS. This is just like spoons but is played in teams. Before the game the pairs discuss a secret code to let share what cards they have without physically showing them to the other member and not letting the other teams know what they are going for. When a person from the team gets four of a kind, the other member of the team has to say Hemps and they win.. If someone from the opposing teams thinks a team has hemps but no one called it, they can say cross hemps. If they are right then they win, if they say it and the team does not have hemps, they are automatically out.

Wow that was long. Sorry if it is not very well explained. But enjoy they are fun games.
