hey so theres this guy... and we went out for like a week. hes indian but hes pretty good looking. but anyways we both kindaa like each other and were wicked good friends. however i feel bad because if he asks me out, i would say no... and this sounds really mean but it might be because of his looks.
like i thought to myself, if he wasnt indian and he was amazingly good looking then i would probably go out with him. i swear im not racist!! is this really bad??!

I think if you won't go out with him because he's indian then that would make you racist, but that may not necesarily be it. Maybe there are other reasons and you're just using his looks as an excuse? I dont know, but if the true reason you wont go out with him is because of his looks then you shouldn't be friends with him because he doesn't deserve that from someone. A friend should be able to look past that kind of thing and you obviously don't like him enough, so DONT lead him on. I think that's pretty shallow, but like I said maybe there are hidden reasons and you're just using that as an excuse. Whatever it is figure it out and then either stop leading him on or look past whatever is bothering you.
I'm sorry if that sounded a bit harsh, but I just hate when people only go by looks
Hope this helped =)

There was this hair brush i saw when i was at my friends house . It looked like a straightener, But it wasn't. Meaning, it opened and closed like a striaghtener and inside there were brush bristols (it didnt have a cord )and it would help make your hair straight whilee you are blow drying it. We were doing our hair and i tried it out and it worked really good ( it works better on wet hairr ) I want it for christmas but i dont know where she got it and how much it is.
Can you please give me brand names? stores? prices? pictures? websites? of where i can find this brush. Thankss a lot ! :] (link)
|
i know exactly what you're talking about and i actually have one. It's a conair brush. I unfortunately don't know where I got it. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. Ill try and ask my mom where she thinks we got it and get back to you asap =)
Hope this helped atleast a little bit.

ok so i met this guy through a friend (a lot of my frends kno him) but we haven't met in person. we've talked online and stuff but i want to meet him.
how should i instigate this?
also, im not the best looking person, so i dont know... (link)
|
Like the person below me said, have your friend invite the two of you over. Despite what you may think, guys are NOT as shallow as people make them out to be. I mean last year I was overweight and I didn't think much of myself, but I started talking to this guy in class because he sat near me and the next thing I knew he liked me and this guy also happened to be the most popular guy in school. Decent guys are NOT shallow. They may act like it with their friends, but in truth they aren't. So don't worry about it. Just be confident, thats beautiful.
Hope I helped :)

A dermatoligist told me I had Acanthosis Nigricans, which is basicly a darkness of skin around the neck(have it), Armpit(have it), and groin(have THAT too) oh and the uncommon places where I have it are the inside of my elbow and knuckles.
The doctor said it might go away if I lose weight. Well I was diagnosed with AN in like July of this year, and I haven't lost any weight.. Ive actually probably gained.
Im going to the Hostpital Tuesday for a blood test again, to see if im a Daibetic. I dont wanna be diabetic im only 14.. and if I am I might die. And im not over exagerating.. my condition of NA is being obese, and that means im insulin resistant which means that I cant take the medication i need..
I wanna lose weight I wanna be able to wear a batheing suit, and a size 12 jeans.. not a 16. I wanna lose 100 pounds. I need to make like a deadline. A goal more likely that this weight will be off and I want it gone by next summer but thats not realistic at all.. so maybe next Christmas?? I weigh 220 pounds and its not normal and I want to be able to fit in Aeropostale or something =\. All the weight is in my stomach and thigns. How many crunchs should i do Daily, I cant run whatso ever... not in publis where people can see me.I do have a walker its slightly broken but useable. But my family would laugh its that kind of family so dont say nooo they'll be happy u wanna lose weight because they wont They'll laugh. My goal is to be in a size 10 by this summer if im a size 16-18 is that reasonable??
and if i walk how long should I?
And any other exersize u know that works on losing weight in the stomach area would be awsome! (link)

I think it's really great that you want to lose weight and it's important that you do as you said because of your medical conditions. I'm not sure that you should have a goal of a size because then if you don't reach that goal you may be discouraged. I think what your goal should be is just to work on losing weight. not a certain amount just anything at all right now. I want you to understand that excercising your butt off is not the only step needed to lose weight. You need to take in a lesser amount of calories than you are right now. I don't know how many you currently take in, but you can start by switiching to diet sodas and limiting your deserts to one peice of pie or one bowl of ice cream a day. You also need to start counting your calories. I would suggest taking in maybe 2500 right now? and then decreasing to 2000 after you have made some progress in losing weight. You should keep a log so you don't forget what you've eaten. You can eat anything you want, but it HAS to be in moderation. I've recently lost 30 lbs. I was 130 and im now 100 lbs, so I know what I'm talking about and let me tell you that the first couple of days is the hardest, but after that it becomes sort of a habit. Everytime you think you want something that you know you shouldn't have think, "Do I want to have this food and be happy for the five minutes it takes to eat it or do i want to be happy in life and be skinny for a long time?" Ask yourself these questions and you wont go wrong. Also, Cardio is the best way to burn calories. If you don't feel comfortable running in public, do you have treadmill? and if not then walking is better than nothing. You could walk for maybe an hour or so a day or maybe you could join curves? The atmosphere there is so friendly and not everyone is a stick so you wont feel out of place, but i do believe you need a parent to do so. I think that talking to your parents and telling them that you are serious about this and that they need to buy healthy foods would help because even though you say they will laugh, How can they laugh when their daughter is having serious medical problems because of her weight? You'll look and feel better if you take the steps to do it, i promise you that.
Hope this helped :)
btw: Im 14/f also and if you want to talk ask for my sn in my feedback and ill be happy to motivate you. It's always easier if you have someone to motivate you and sometimes its easier if you dont know that person =)
GOOD LUCK!

I'm a senior in hs applying for colleges and I've been filling out the application and I'm really scared. I don't have very much experience in clubs and organizations at all, I hardly have any awards or honors, and I haven't done very much community service either, especially any community service that I do annually which is what colleges like.
So I'm kind of nervous. What should I do? It's november, and most applications are due pretty quickly, is there any time left for me? Obviously I can't try to be president of a club because those things are already set so late in the year, and I've joined many more clubs this year than the last three years, but what else can I do? Will any college accept me with my lack of experience in pretty much everything?? PLease, ANY advice would be so appreciated. I'm totally freaked out right now
Thanks (link)
|
You will get into a college it just may not be your dream college or a college you really want to go to. There are certain colleges that will accept just about anyone. I wouldn't set your standards too high though as you wont get into an IV league or an amazing school, but you will get in somewhere. I'm pretty sure there is nothing you can do as far as getting more things to write on your application as the deadline is steadily approaching and junior year is your most important year as far as those things go and that has already passed, but don't stress you will get in SOMEWHERE and yes it will be a university. So take a deep breath and relax. =)
Hope this helped

Okay so I'm usually an 'A' student but 8 months ago my mother died and I've really been depressed for a while. I just started high school (9th grade) and my first semester grades were four B's and three A's. And now I realized that I really need to pick up my grades. I've always wanted to go to Harvard and since everything that has happened...I haven't been paying much attention to school. So if I get all A's for next semester and the rest of my three years do I still stand a chance of getting into an Ivy League school? (link)
|
No, you would not. My friend's dad interviews people for Ivy League school so I know what I'm talking about. People who apply to those schools have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and milestones of extra curricular activities as well as things that make them stand out. I know it sucks, but it's the truth that unless you have a 4.0 GPA you will not even be considered for any of these schools, but don't fret only your semester grade shows up, so if you get A's this quarter and A's on ur semester exams then an A will show up on ur highschool transcript for the first semester. Just study your butt off the next quarter and for the semester exams and you should be good to go. =) I'm sure you'll be able to get those A's as you seem very devoted. Just don't slack.
Ps. I'm REALLY sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine losing my mom.
Hope this helped =)

so the last couple of days i have felt really sad and i dnt understadn why, i think it may have something to do with, something that i honestly shouldnnt care about, and its her life so.... anyways so my bestfriend basically fell in love with this guy for like a year straight she basically obsessed over him the ywent out for like a month but didnt do anything they looked like they were just friends i mean i have a relationship better with my friends the nthey did going out you couldnt even tell they liked eachother.....so she broke up with him, after a while she forgot about him but that was after a year and a half, and she moved on you know everything was good the entire summer last couple months of school first couple months of school this year and now she tells me she lieks him again!!!!!! and it makes me mad because i watched for a straigh year get hurt and it hurt me to watch this happen i love her to death she is my bestfriend and i just cant stand to be around and watch her do this to her self again. she doesnt understan where im coming from when i tell her to, and thing is ive talked to her baout it before so i need other advise instead of tell her how you feel.........she even wrote down things she wanted in a boy and none of those are him even she knows it cause she has said it to me before. pleaseeeee help me (link)

You can't help who you like. It doesn't matter if they aren't exactly what you think she should want in a guy. She can't help it. It's just the way things are you: you don't choose who you like. It just happens and telling her that the guy she likes is just going to hurt her won't make her stop liking him, it has to happen on her own. Been there done that. If we could choose who we liked and just move on then no one would be sad over a breakup because they would just choose not to like the girl anymore. I think you should just support her and be there for her when it falls apart. Maybe tell her that you understand that she likes him, but it's best to wait to make a move. You can try and advise her on how to approach the situation, but trying to convince her not to like a guy is nearly impossible and its not you, its just how our hearts are. We like who we like and we can't choose when we stop or start liking someone (whether it is again or not). Key Thing: Be there for her. That's all you can really do other than advise her not to take action on this relationship.
Hope that helped =)

Is there Ralph Lauren and Locaste stores at the mall? In Connecticut especially. Or can you only buy that stuff online. (link)
| |
There are Lacoste and Ralph Lauren stores in the malls that are located in upperclass cities, so yes, i would imagine there would be those stores in some mall in Conneticuit, but it may not be near you depending upon where you live in Conneticuit.

I love love love this dress, I have been spending hours trying to look for it and for the brand of it. I saw it on a girl, but I'll show you the picture.

It's not the right color, but otherwise it is a perfect match. I found it on edressme.com and it's by flip. It's a little pricey, but VERY cute and worth the money if i do say so myself. =)

If you cut, will you go to hell? or can you ask God to forgive you? (link)
| |
You won't go to hell for cutting or even committing suicide. People who commit suicide or cut have something going on in their lives that is troubling them. They may be depressed or suffer from other mental disorders and god is not going to punish someone for being mentally ill or psychologically downfallen especially if you ask for forgiveness.

I'm in 12th grade and am applying to colleges. But I feel like I ruined my chances at getting into my top 3 choices: Brown, UCBerkley, NYU.
So in 10th grade I had a GPA of 4.0
In 11th grade I had a 4.4.
And so far I have a 4.4 in 12th grade.
HOWEVER, in 9th grade I only got a 3.5 GPA.
Did I ruin my chances of getting into those schools?
I recieved a 2150 on my SAT, a 30 on my ACT, I scored perfect on my US History subject test and perfect on my French/with listening SAT subject test.
Please tell me, did I ruin my chances with my 9th grade GPA???? (link)
| |
yes you did. People who apply to those colleges have like 5.0 gpas and most people who have anything under a 4.8 are just turned around and not even considered. I'm telling you this because it is true. Any college like that doesn't want to see a kid who slacked off in 9th grade. 9th grade DOES count though most people don't think about it at the time, but it does and colleges look at it. SATs aren't as highly looked at anymore, so just getting good sat grades and average grades otherwise is not okay. I'm sorry, but those schools are a bit out of your reach!

I was a total wreck in school but since I'm in high shcool thsi year, I thought that I could start fresh.
I want to be peoples' friends but I'm really shy about how to like get up to talk. I can't randomly say "hey can i be your friend?" even though i want to.
I have a kid liek brain so I dunno, there's some people i found in my class that i want to be friends with so i thought that i should first start by adding them on Facebook.
I'm even too nervous to simply add them because adding them as friends means that they are ym friend! >.<
I invited some and for a mesege i wrote "I hope we can be friends!"
Do you think that's ok? retarded? please, give your opinions and advice, im open (link)
| |
honestly, everyone in my grade would laugh at someone who messaged them saying that and they would tell all of their friends and you'd become the laughing stock of the school. No joke.

Ok so I'm a 15 f and i'm 36 weeks, 1 day pregnant today. My due date isnt until novemeber 17th but I was wondering if there was any way I could schedule a C-section before hand so I won't have to go threw giving birth and I could have my baby home sooner. Please answer fast I need to know. Thanks.
Love, Amanda. (link)
| |
You can get a C-section if you want to. There is no need for complications. It is personal choice. While some woman like natural birth others like C-sections. Discuss your options with a parent or doctor, but yes it is more than possible and the sooner you contact your doctor the better chance you have.

My mom recently bought me a coach swingpack. It's medium sized & could hold my stuff. Basically it goes across the body. I personally think its cute, but my school is extremely narrow-minded & I don't want them to be like "what is she doing!". Can I have anyone's opinions?? Are these in?? Thanks!! (link)
|
Fashion POV: Coach is pretty much on its way out right now and its already out in a lot of places.
My POV: I think it's really cute, but I wouldn't use it for your books as its more of something you would use in place of a purse. Chances are it would get messed up at school and it's not something that should be used at school, so yes the kids might think you are a little bit strange, but if you want to use it then I say go for it. Who cares anyway?

15/f. Unlike most of the people in my academic classes, I work my ass off trying to get As and Bs. And usually I succeed at that. But to what extent? Getting 5-4 hours each night, not having ANY time to do ANYTHING on the weekends, and being a social outcast in my friends' eyes.
On the other hand; the majority of my peers don't do crap. They don't read. They don't study. They don't do homework. They don't care. They get out with Cs and Ds. Yet, it doesn't bother them.
How is this so? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some kind of change in the way teens are supposed to function or something? I heard doctors say that teens should get 7 hours of sleep. Yet I don't. And I really want to. I want to be able to just get Bs. Because I'm content with Bs.
Advice? :( (link)
|
If you're spending 4-5 hours a night on homework there is something wrong. If you spend that much time, I'd expect you to get 100% on everything. Honestly, you should not be spending that much time on homework in order to get good grades. I think you should seriously talk to a counselor about your work load and if it can be lightened in anyway (extra help, etc). If it is taking you that long to do homework my guess is that you're having trouble seeing as most of my peers (i am about the same age as you) do less homework than you and are coming up with straight a's including myself. Those kids who dont do the work are getting bad grades, but EVERYONE or MOST people are NOT getting bad grades and they are doing the work, but it is not taking them as long. It doesn't look good to have AMAZING grades (straight a's) and yet no social life or extra curriculars. Colleges look for extra curriculars and social skills. If you have nothing to show then good grades wont get you very far. I suggest talking to a counselor about your work load or joining something social to make the work seem less stressful because you are doing other fun activities.

ok so i live in England and i wear a size 12 in trousers, which is like a 10 in american size... i think lol but thats not really important. Anyway i want to get size 14 trousers for that baggy look but im afraid itwould jus make me look frumpy n fat because i havent got the stomach for that low, falling of effect. i hope it's well explained.
thank you!

| |
yeah that wouldn't look good. in order to pull that off you have ot have a flat toned stomach and very thin legs and it helps to be tall, so no you dont have the body type to pull it off. Try losing weight?

|
I am 13 years old, am 126 pounds, and am 5 feet and 4 and a half inches. Is that healthy? (link)
| |
its not skinny or fat. its average.
|
would it be bad if was doing something for a long time but never had a position? like for volunteering you dont really get positions
also if i won the spelling bee in 8th grade can i put that down for the 9th grade honors/reward spot? otherwise i have nothing at all. high school doesnt really have anything (link)
|
No, thats not bad at all so long as you stuck with it and provided for your community. That is all colleges look for; dedication.
No you can not put that down seeing as it was 8TH grade and they are asking for 9TH! sorry.

Okay so I've decided to do this Special K thing. So what I plan on doing is eating a bowl of it before school/in the morning, having a Special K Bar/Granola Bar/Fruit for lunch, and then Special K again for dinner, and occasionally having regular dinner. I've joined the volleyball team where I have practice every day after school (except Thursdays because of religion classes) for about an hour/hour and a half. Soon, basketball will be starting, so I'll be having practice Friday nights, and games on weekends. I really want to lose 15-20 pounds before summer of '08, and I was wondering if this was a good goal, and I'm really motivated so I really wanna try to lose weight and stick to it, so just let me know if there's anything else I can do to help me lose weight, and if you think my plan&goal are good and reasonable. (link)

That diet makes you lose weight, but the minute you stop you'll gain it ALL and MORE back and it will really slow ur metabolism because that will be way less than 1000 calories. That diet works for a little while, but it doesn't help you keep the weight off and eventually it will make you plateau and you wont lose anymore because ur metabolism has slowed so much.

(link)
| |
