Why dont the homosexauls dont like men or women?
explan i like to know your anwsers?
FYI: f/15/Bi (link)
| |
it's the same as why straight people aren't attracted to people of the same sex, it's just genetic, it can't be helped. Unfortunately your bad phrasing of the question as well as bad spelling makes it difficult to know what you are asking, so i'm assuming you're just asking why do homosexuals not feel attracted to people of the opposite gender?
|
I know it's impossible to do it alone but I'd like to do my share. I walk and ride my bike a lot, turn off lights when I don't need them, reuse plastic containers, wear old clothing, use the power-saving bulbs, use both sides of my papers, recycle, and when I'm on my own I want to use solar power in my home. I guess you could say I'm a tree huger stuck in modern-day suburbia. I just want to know what else I can do to help the environment. [and not spend a ton of money.] Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

it's great what you are doing personally, but what you really need to do to make a difference is help begin a mass movement in your area. Start a conservation or environmental club at your school. Create signs to put near light switches and water faucets to preserve electricity. Make sure there are plenty of recycle bins around campus and research recycle laws and facilities in your area so that you can do as much as you can. Make sure there are paper as well as plastic recycling. Talk to the kitchen staff at your school cafeteria and make sure they are recycling containers. My school entered something called the Green Cup Challenge, which was a bunch of schools in the area competing to reduce their electricity consumption the most, and it included making hilarious environmental awareness movies (my chemistry teacher played "Recycle Man" the environmentally conscious super hero). See if there is something like that where you live, and if there isn't start one! Who knows, it could be really fun and you might even be in the newspaper.
Some things you personally can do though is:
only buy organic and biodegradeable cleaning products, instead of buying books, get them at the library or use paperbackswap.com (that's what i do, it's awesome), donate old clothes and only buy clothes you need since fabric manufacturing uses WAY more fossil fuels than most people assume.
I bought the book "It's Easty Being Green" by crissy trask, and it has lots of tips. Photo copy the tips (on recycled paper of course) and post them around your school. Also, make sure everyone in your family is doing all they can to prevent global warming as well!
Peace. Love. Trees.

Well my mom's making me wear my grad dress to this wedding I'm going to but i don't know..i never want to wear my graduation dress ever again or anywhere because somethng embarassing happened and wearing it and seeing it reminds me and haunts me of it.
I can't get a new one because it's wasting money and the weddings is in three days.
I know that there's no way to get out of it but can someone just say something to make the situation better? Im a sucker for sweet talk (link)
| |
Well in my opinion, you HAVE to wear this dress to get closure on that other incident. You can't let past memories ruin the future, and this is a perfect oppurtunity to show yourself that you've grown up and this dress has the potential to make you beautiful instead of embarrassed. IT's like a clean slate, if you can get through the wedding in this dress, you will no longer think of the dress as related to embarrassment, instead you will think of the wedding, and happy memories

I've got writers block. I really feel lie writing but I just can't think of anything to write about. And please don't say "take a break for a while" because that doesn't work for me. Help! (link)
|
it's hard to answer that question, because it's not too helpful for us to give you ideas, so here's some ways you can think of your own.
go into town and just sit down on a bench or something with a notebook. Wait until someone really interesting looking passes by and try to remember really hard what they look like. Then write a whole profile for them, like name, profession, family, hobbies. Do this for a few people, and just by looking at what you have written, a plot will usually evolve.
You could also get a writing prompt book at a bookstore or library. I use The 3 A.M. Epiphany, but there are TONS of others.
Also, think of a time in your life that you will never forget. It could be exciting, disturbing, sad, traumatic, and try to imagine how it would have affected someone entirely different than you, and let that be the climax of your story.
goodluck!

Can someone explain this to me? Why are people freaking out about this big hole.. i mean the universe is almost never ending its so huge and outside of our universe theres another one almost similar to ours, right?
here's a link if your just simple curious and maybe could help make things a little clearer for me.
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070823_huge_hole.html (link)
|
The article is interesting, but where else have you heard people talking about this hole? I haven't heard anthing about it before reading the article.
The universe is actually finite, not never ending, although there is no "edge" or "end" of it. I'm not sure where you could have heard that there is another universe similar to ours. perhaps you are thinking of a galaxy?
There are many strange things in the universe, including holes. You would have to find more articles or talk to an astronomer to know exactly what they mean by 'hole'.
This hole is so far away from our galaxy that there is no way it could affect earth in our lifetime, and if it does consume the universe, all matter will have been destroyed on earth because of humans' destructive way of life.

Okay, I have various questions about these teas.
Does peppermint tea aid weight loss in any way?
I've been hearing green tea aids weight loss as it increases your metabolism but is this true or is it another money making fact for diet companies?
How much tea is too much?
And which tea am I best drinking 1-3 hours after a meal? Green or peppermint?
Green would be good because of the metabolism thing but peppermint apparantly helps digestion. So which? (link)
|
peppermint tea won't help weight loss, but it's good for your stomach, so drink it if you have a stomach ache. If you can find a decaffeinated green tea try to drink it every day, anytime. if you can't, make sure you drink it atleast 5 hours before bed.
Drink the green tea anytime and it will help speed up your metabolism, but drink the peppermint tea with or after meals if you have an upset stomach.

My little brother is 5 feet, 8 inches tall! And he is only 11!!!! Was anbody that tall when they were that age? If you were, how tall are you now? My grandpas are tall though, so dont say hell stop growing, because he is probably going to be tall. Thanks!! (link)
|
it's all about hormones. boys usually hit puberty later than girls and sprout up in a short amount of time, so it is weird that he is already that tall. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, that'd be pretty cool if he was really tall. I suppose it's possible that he could have some hormonal defect, but i'm sure a doctor would notice that, given his height. He'll be taller than all his friends for a few years, but so what?
A guy i know is 6'5" and he started growing around twelve, so your brother will probably be pretty tall, but you'll have to just wait and see!

Well I hang with a group f 5 including myself. We're all best friends and we always have a ton of fun. One of my friends, let's call her Madi, thinks she is fat. She is not fat! She only has a bigger structure! Big boned, a bigger frame. Some people would like to be like that and she's just convinced that because she is a little bigger, and stronger, she just thinks all that is fat. Example, We were at a sleepover, and we were talking about stuff ( I don't remember) but the subject was brought up, and she started complaining about herself, and how she's "fat" and "how she needs to lose 15 pounds by the end of the school yr" we AlWaYs tell her and reassure her that she is not fat, and we always list her good qualities and all the good things she can do with the body she has! We are all really getting sick and tired of this! What can we do to support her and help her realize that she is a special person who needs to realize she is special and should be satisfied with her body. She does vb, and basketball and softball each yr too. She's sporty, but she just isn't convinced. Please do not give answers like "just keep telling her she's not fat" or "just keep talking to her." I know that, we need to do that, but we also need something further to help her since she won't listen! Thank you! (link)
|
well first of all, stop telling her over and over that she isn't fat, because that will just make you guys frustrated and her feeling like you are lying just to make her feel better. if she says i'm fat, just quickly respond "oh don't be ridiculous, you are definitely not" and change the subject. When you are around her, if you guys have weight/diet/sports conversations, just say things like you wish you could bulk up a little, or mention athletes who are thick, strong bodies or whatever. What i'm trying to suggest i guess, is to work things in subtly instead of trying to convince her. Like, for example if you guys are looking through a celebrity magazine, point out the women with curves and be like, "oh my god, she's so pretty" and stuff.
If you talk about her and try to convince her she's not fat all the time, it will just make her focus on it more, so just change subjects quickly.
I hope this helped a little bit, just try to always be there for her.
p.s. if you guys are hanging out at each other's houses, maybe you could lower the ammount of junk food you all eat so that she can eat healthier and won't get all depressed seeing skinny girls eat tons and not gain weight, which would probably frustrate her!

what can make your boobs grow cup sizes without being drugged,being in surgery,or die?? (link)
|
nothing really makes boobs grow, it's just genetics and body type. They are still part of your body, and it's not like there is some secret way to make your nose, or your elbows grow!
If you gain weight, your body fat percentage will increase, and your breasts will probably fill with more fatty tissue, but most girls don't want to gain weight just to get bigger boobs.
The muscle under your breasts, called the pectoral, can also increase in size if you do lots of exercises (google: pectoral exercises) This can make your boobs appear larger, because they will be slightly farther out.
There isn't too much you can do, so I suggest just getting a good padded bra or pushup bra and focus on drawing attention to your other beautiful features!
p.s. small boobs aren't necessarily bad. A lot of guys think they are sexy, think paris hilton, keira knightly, they all have small boobs

I have an iPod nano (blue) and was wondering if you can put podcasts on it because there's a podcasts category on there. If you can, how do you? I have some podcasts downloaded but it won't go on my iPod, I already converted it too. Maybe I have too many songs? (193) Thanks! (link)
| |
well there are podcasts, and video podcasts. Regular podcasts are just audio files that you subscribe to. On a nano you can't play videos, but you can play audio podcasts. Just go to the itunes store in itunes and go to the podcast section on the left side bar. You can download podcasts for free. When you plug your ipod in, go to the podcast section of the ipod preferences screen and tell it to sync

Is there anyway to make your period stop faster?
I dont mean forever, but i just got it (not the first time) and it usually lasts for 2 weeks and im going back to school and i dont want it at first when i go back. So is there anyway to make it stop faster? PLEASE TELL ME :]. Thx. (link)
| |
don't use a tampon for a while, exercise a lot, and go to the bathroom a lot. all of these things will help the blood and tissue get out faster.

The skin (?) on my lips is constantly peeling off and it hurts so badly. I have to rip off the skin becuase it's very bothersome and painful if I keep it on, but it hurts like a biatch to peel it off, and then it stings afterwards. And it keeps happening.
Why is it peeling all the time?
And how do I stop it?!?!
(link)
|
your lips are either extremely dry or sunburnt. First of all, do NOT pick the skin off, as much as it bothers you that will only make it worse. buy some vaseline and apply it to your lips heavily and often for a few days. If you put it over the peely part it will smoothe the skin and make it less annoying. After it has gotten a little better, continue to put the vaseline on at night, but during the day keep a tube of chapstick in your pocket and keep putting it on. Make sure it has spf in it, this will prevent lips from peeling and cracking due to sunburn.
I promise this will help!

Well right now I think I stoped gaining wight I'm also not getting taller or anything. I'm a 15 year old girl and weigh around 105lbs and I'm about 5'5" tall...I would really like to gain weight in my "upper area"...If it wasn't for my "butt area", I wouldn't even be at 105lbs...my arms are really skinny and I wanna get a bigger chest..lol..like, my shoulders are really bony and my spine also sticks out(which is kinda gross..lol..) Also, my waist is pretty skinny to...but I don't have a toned stomach..although it looks toned because you can see my ribs..so it looks like abs! I guess this is all because I used to be aneroxic, but now I wanna gain wight, but I don't know how...What could be a healthy way to gain wight??? (link)
|
do muscle building exercises like pushups, squats etc. but lay of the cardio for a while. don't only eat sugary fatty foods, because even if you gain weight, that isn't healthy.
drink a lot of 2 % milk, yogurt, fruits and veggies. try to eat foods like avacado (you can make it into guacamole which is delicious) nuts and legumes, like almonds, peanuts, walnuts, peanut butter, and lots of whole wheat bread. eat lots of pasta and you will definitley start gaining weight

me and my friend were with these two guys last night and my friend and one of the guys were gonna hook up. so my friend asks me if i wanted to hook up with the other one so i said yeah sure. so when we get to the point where were about to make out he starts to undo his pants and i was like what the hell? i never said i was giving you a bj and i just got really pissed off because i thought he was a cool guy and not some perv and he turned out to be one. so we sat there and it was so akward and i told to him to go get some other slut but its not gonna be me and im proud of myself for standing up to him but idk maybe i should have done it...also i havent given one either and i have a feeling my friend told him i would give him one because she does shitty stuff like that. was i too harsh on him? ugh im so confuseddd. btw im really sorry this is so long. lol so any advice/opinions would be great :]
thanks guys soo much (link)
|
hey, you did the absolute right thing, don't regret it! you stood up for yourself respected yourself, so don't be ashamed about that.
you definitely weren't too harsh on that guy. so what if he didn't get a bj that night, I doubt he'll have trouble finding some slutty girl to help him out.
try to wait for a guy that you actually like before giving a bj. even though it's not intercourse, it's still a sexual act and it shouldn't just please one person.

Is it true that girls shouldn't use tampons if they are virgins? I mean I know that they can, but I was just told that if you're a virgin you shouldn't use a tampon.
If so, why?
I have plenty of friends who are virgins and use tampons. They say it's a lot more comfortable and such. They also claim to have never had a problem with them.
I know this is a dumb question, but at least I'm not saying that I've had sex with 3 guys and that I haven't had my period and didn't use protection and want to know if I'm pregnant and/or have an STD.
Anyway, despite the oddness of the question, I was just kind of curious about it.
(link)
|
hey, that's not a weird question at all, especially compared to some of the things on this site!
some people think virgins shouldn't use tampons, but the vast majority of women don't agree with that. I guess some people think that if you stick something up your vagina, it's like destroying something that's sacred, but personally I don't think it matters. I mean for god's sake, it's a piece of cotton, not a penis!
If you use tampons you are definitely still a virgin. tampons are really comfortable (if put in right), make your period a lot easier to deal with, and are also EXTREMELY helpful if you play sports.
hope that helped!

I dont know what is it, but i cant stand the sound of people chewing. Especially my mom. When people are around me, i cant help but focus on the sound of them chewing and it drives me absolutely nuts. I just want to like scream. What can i do to stop this? Like i said, its especially my mom, so its not like i can just get up and walk away. (link)
|
OMG finally someone who knows how i feel!
I HATE the sound of people chewing, like I literally can feel myself twitching because I just want to scream and slap something so bad!
At my house, my sister and my mom both make kind of gross noises chewing, so I always turn the radio on during dinner. That really helps, and as long as you have music that everyone can agree on, it works.
I haven't really found any way to stop being so affected by it, but sometimes it helps to just close your eyes and count to ten while breathing heavily, because then you have a little while where you can start fresh and try to block it out of your brain.
Some people are just really sensitive to noise, but i'm hoping it goes away as you get older.
try the music, and I know that I usually just dart my eyes at my mom and sister every so often until they get it and try to chew a little quieter, but that rarely works
goodluck
