Q: If I go to the theatre and scream "Boring!", can I get arrested in a democratic repulic like India?
Read the constitution.Freedom of speech is included.

Q: 16/m
I'm so sick of being alive. Everything is so hard. I can't stand it. It's like I'm doing something wrong. I have few friends, but it doesn't matter because I don't like them. I don't like any one. People don't meet my standards and they never will. And when it comes to girls I have no idea what I'm doing. It's like there's some secret technique that every one but me seems to understand. My problems with girls contribute the most to my loneliness and depression. I'm unmotivated in school, because I care more about trying to find a place I belong, trying to find some one who understands me. I can hardly sleep because I'm always worrying about all this. I'm scared I'll never have friends. I'm scared I'll never have a good job. I'm scared I'll never have my first kiss or have sex, and if I do it will be with some one I don't want to do it with. Somewhere between now and the next few years I 100% sure I'll be dead. I can't take it anymore. I've been to therapy and they even locked me up like a criminal in a mental health ward, but to no avail. I hate life. I hate myself. I hate every one, especially if they're happy. I don't see things ever getting better. Please help me. And don't post anything about God, Jesus, or religion of any kind, it will be an automatic 1 on your rating.
Do something you likke.If you like painting,paint out all your stress.Listen to music.Listening to music really makes you fell a lot better.Learn to play an instrument.Write every thing that stresses you out down in a diary or something.It releives stress.
Stop woorrying about the future because things can only get better.Time heals all wounds.People who try to suicide once and fail do not try again.
My maid is homeless and she is still so cheerful.Try to figure out what happened to you that made you so depressed.Ask your older family members about the first years of your life.
and most importantly have faith in yourself.You can do anything if you believe you can.

Q: I'll assume some people know how to play secret santa here, so I'm going to get straight to the question. I have to buy a gift for somebody I barely know. Shes short and asian, shes smart and that's all I know. What could I get her that's beetween 10-15 dollars? Thank you
I'm not sure about how much this stuff will cost because I'm not sure how much things cost in america but anyway...
You can get her clothes...
get her something biege,pink,black or white.She will probably like those colors.Get her a CD or a movie that is old or that she probably has not seen.Get her a candle or soap making kit.Get her some jewelry.You can also get her something christmassy like christmas candles or a snow globe.It helps if you know exactly which country she is from because if she's Chinese you can get her a wind chime.You must never give chinese people certain gifts because of cantones phrases
Giving a book sounds like askin them to accept defeat or something like that.Giving a clock sounds like your time is up and giving an umbrella sounds like your family will be deminished.

Q: (I'm 15/m if this helps)Okay, so like 5 years ago, i developed this wierd mark on my back. It's grown to take up about 1/8th of my back. It even frightens me and now i'm afraid to take my clothes off. This "mark" prevents me from going swimming and having fun. My parents say its a birth mark but i'm starting to doubt it. It's pretty big and if you'd like to see some pictures of it, just ask but please be prepared with some answers :]
If it isn't a birth mark it could be anything.It could be an infection.Your pores could have been blocked.If you want to know for sure you have to see a dermatologist.You can't develop a birth mark to my knowledge.I am not a doctor but if it is called a birthmark shouldn't you have to be born with it?You have to see a doctor as it could be a symptom of a hormonal problem or something bit I am not a doctor.I thin it is most likley to be a bacterial or fungal infection.Take a bath every day or maybe twice a day and ask your doctor to prescribe something.My teacher was tellin us about a relative who dodn't take a bath and got infected and had to put some cream(I don't remember).

Q:
Ive been begging my mum for adges to let me toatly make over my room but now that it comes to actually designing it im stuck .I dont want it to be a toatly grown up room as im only 13 but i dont want it to be childish . A lot of my friends said a black and white theam but i dont want that . I thaught maby really light pink walls and then a dark
(but not like really dark)and funky bed and curtains. I really need help has anyone got any ideas?

xx
You don't want your room to be boring but you don't want balloon wall paper.You could get some wall paper.Something with palm trees or something with stars,flowers or hearts.Try color schemes like green and white,pink or violet and white or light blue and violet.You can get wind chimes and water falls.You can arrange you room according to feng shui.You can search for colour therapy in google.try this URL http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/fengshui/fengshui.html
hope I helped

Q: can anyone think of something to do on a rainyday.
There is nothing like spicy garlic bread on a rainy day.Take a walk in the rain.It is always fun and drafts do not give you colds.Play board games.Have a party.Read or write a book.

Q: usually, when im around popular people in school, i feel kinda weird, because they're like popular, and what if i say something weird or something? also, (well the girls) wear so much make up and stuff and the guys are usually like guarded with other friends and stuff. i mean they're just normal people, but if i wanted to make friends with one of them, it would feel weird than if it was with some other person. eh help?
There is no need to feel weird.The are just regular people like you.Just be more confident.Don't think of yourself as lower than them.All humans are equal.Just be yourself.If you're worried about saying something weird,just don't talk about the aliens you met the other day.Unless you have psychiatric problems your not likely to say something weird.Don't say something offending like something racist.Give complements.Every now and then you can tell people you like their clothes.Flattery will get you every where.Don't wear make up and do stuff just because they do,you should only do that because you want to.

Q: My "friend" always talked about me behind my back and i got sick of it so i told her that i was. She acted like she didnt care becouse we are totally different ppl and she was with the friends i don tlike. what do i do?

i've recently been really into making funny videos with my friends..that is why im so interested in this contest. over the summer we are planning on going to NYC for the day... i was thinking doing a documentary in NYC and in it i try voicing my opinions or something?? i need some help with ideas as you can see lol ...so any suggestions are welcome
what about some of these themes
1)out of space-science fiction
2)fairy land-fantasy
3)the jungle-horor
4)near the sea
5)you can decorate your room by just hanging loong green stems with leaves on them (fake but if possible real)
1)for the out of space theme astronauts and maybe
2)for the fantasy theme a music video with ballet.
3)In the jungle you can have an action video (it doesn't matter if you don't have animals
4)for the near the sea theme anything but a
comedy fight always works best especialy under 4 min

and about the movie script contest you can use this edited and lenthened

The cable had gone off.10 yearold christina & her 15 year old brother Jack were extremly bored.Finally after calling the cable operator 26904964579 times they decided to play video games.They got uptill level 46 jack said "This level is easy if you can't do it you're just a dumbo". Jack said "If I can do that stupid level you have to say I'm clever than you forever,even if you get cleverer than me you still have to say I'm cleverer than you.Hastily Christina agreed & signed a paper on which Jack had written "I swear to say Jack is cleverer than I am forever".Much to Christina's dismay Jack won the level. being stubborn Christina refused to say that jack was cleverer than her.Jack called her a deal braker.Christina said "It's better to be a deal braker than a liar.Jack replied "But you can't go to court for being a liar and you can go to court for being a deal braker.Jack took Christina to court.Jack was winning.The judge ordered Christina to say that Jack was clever than her. Christina still refused to Jack say was clever than her.She was sentenced to a week in jail. Christina said "1 week of jail is better than an eternity of lying & saying Jack is clever than me".Christina had a terrible week in jail. went on jabbering about how that all happened and how she went to jail for honesty.Her cell-mate who was in jail for steeling a mercedez said "shut up",Christina started to cry "I don't deserve to go to jail and you people just scream at me boo hoo hoo vanh vanh vanh".Her cell-mate ram covered his ears and said "It's not my fault the law is an ass".That horrible week was finally over.Christina went back home.She gave her parents a hug and said "The law is an ass just like Jack.Her mother said "and to think the cable operator started all this"."The cable operator" yelled Christina and Jack .They apologised to each other and went to bug him.~*~THE~*~END~*~

Q: I don’t think people have anything to live for at all. Most people live for other people even thought everyone will eventually die. I think life is pointless and there is no such thing as “making a difference” because in the end none of it matters. My teacher says everyone wants to be remembered after they die, I don’t want to be remembered. Some people live for God, which I think is stupid because I don’t believe in God. If I did, I would hate him, why? Because he has control over us. Killing yourself is wrong because you’re interfering with “God’s little plan”, right? That doesn’t sound right now, does it? Everything happens for a reason doesn’t it? If something happened to make you want to kill yourself then is killing yourself still wrong? If God doesn’t want it to happen then it shouldn’t happen because he makes everything happen, doesn’t he? Can someone help me understand this whole “God” concept?
God created us.He put us on earth for some reason.Nobody knows why he put us on earth he is the only person who knows.Maybe he doesn't wan't us to know why we live.Nobody knows that but god himself.

Q: Hey i'm a 16/f and tomorrow's my last day of school. Soo i was wondering what are some things my friends and I can go out and do over the summer? Any advice is greatly appreciated! And thANKS!
