about

Hey! First off, i'm going to start by saying I came here on this site to give people advice. Some people actually don't know the real meaning of advice. They think its the answers they want to hear. But i'm not here for that. I'll give you advice, and it might be something you don't want to hear. But deal with it! You may take my advice or not, its completely up to you and you are not gaurnteed a correct solution.

Ok so now that's clear, I'll talk to you more about myself. Hence the username... I play volleyball. It is my passion and basically my life since I've played for about 7 years. Most of my friends say i'm 50/50 tomboy and girly girl. I LOVE sports!! I play volleyball all year round, and then I go to the park during free times to play some soccer, football, hockey, basketball or baseball with my friends. But then again, I could be inside trying on my new Sephora makeup i'd just gotten, or reading the latest Seventeen magazine or even arranging my clothes for school tomorrow.

You can ask me just about anything and i'll be happy to answer it. You can count on a full and detailed answer.

Oh and another thing... I love getting feedback! Even if its a negative comment. It tells me what I need to work on or even what I did correct.

BODY EXERCISES AND WORKOUTS! my way or the highway

advice

I ran today, and was kneck and kneck with this girl.
Im slowing down.
How can i stop this? and get faster?

the only thing to make you faster is to practice. right now your heart isn't ready for a big speed. so you need to train your heart to run that fast. best thing is to sprint all you've got for as long as you can, then take a break, and do it over. You need to train your heart how to run that fast.. practice

you can do it outside, on a treadmill, inside etc.

I'm a really short gal. And I'm hoping to get just a little taller by next year or the next couple years. I'm already 15/f.

What are some things I could eat/drink/do to get taller?? If anything??

PPPPPLEASE, HELP

Eat/drink a lot of vitamins! such as fruits, vegetables, orange juice, etc.

other than that... there's really nothing else that can make you taller.

I hope I helped!

PS: if this is really bothering you, you can wear high heels or possibly go to the doctor to see when you're gonna start to grow taller.

This year i am in 8th grade and i go to a school that doesn't feed into the high school i am going to. The school i go to is more ghetto and has gangs and bad students, and minority students. I am a black. The high school I am going to is more high class and more white people, I'm scared either 1 everyone will not like me, or 2 everyone will be my friend because i am black, and back stab me behind my back. How can I get over this fear?

hmm

well make sure that the students at your high school don't know that you're scared. most people WANT you to feel insecure, but if you keep your head up high and stand strong and pretend that you know what you're doing there.... then people will be nice to you and won't back stab you. main thing is to BE YOURSELF!!! my friend lived in Washington and when she came here, she was scared and didn't make that many friends. Then the next day she just started talking to people and made great friends (me!) lol.

what is not to like?? i think you sound like a great person and if someone treats you badly just keep thinking to yourself... it's their loss, not mine!

they will miss out on a great friend.

If some people stab you behind your back, just leave them alone and don't even talk to them because no body wants to be friends with a person who uses other people.

** join activities that you like, that way... you can meet people that share the same interests as you. if no one wants to be friends with you... don't worry!! some one will come along. my mom always says "don't go to them, let them come to you"

i really hope I helped and that you'll make friends

i currently have a camera phone and if i get a new camera phone is there any way to still keep my pictures?

i know you can keep your contacts because you can save them on your SIM card, but is there any way to keep your pictures too?

thanks!!

try sending your pictures to yourself as a text message. that way when you get a new phone, you just open them in your inbox for text messages.

i hope i helped!

I read this phrase once and thought it was just a cute phrase but then on Hannah Montana i heard Billy Ray Cyrus singing it. I only remember a few words. The beggining is like:
If we were a movie, id be the best friend

and it ends

and we watch the sunset as it fades to black or something like that. What song is this?

it's called

If we were a movie

by Hannah Montana

It's on her CD

13/F. This entire school year I have been wearing a 32AA bra. My friends have always made fun of me for my little boobs. Well my mother got me fitted this weekend and according to the people I should be wearing a 32B bra instead. Now they dont look right on me and when I told my friends they didn't believe at all that was my size and even asked me if I stuffed. Im too afraid to wear my new bra cause I think people will believe I stuff or will say mean things about me. I dont like wearing this size bra and im going to my best friends house tonight and she deffinately doesnt believe me. What should I do?

ok why would they even care?? seriously! tell them that it's none of their business and they have no right to be looking there anyways!

just tell the truth if you have to, say something like I got fitted and now I wear a 32B not a 32AA.

seriously, tell them that it's none of their business and forget about it! they should be your friend because of who you are and because you are nice. not because you wear a smaller size bra. that is just down right stupid. Tell them that they should worry about other things other than what size bra you have.

what kind of friends are they? friends don't make fun of friends.

do you think maybe your mom made a mistake fitting you? try going to a personal fitter. If it looks totally wrong, then it is. Wear a size bra that actually looks good and feel comfortable. You shouldn't have to wear a bra that makes you feel uncomfortable.

I hope I helped!

I got a laptop about four months ago and it's always worked fine. However, recently it's been switching itself off for no apparent reason. Without any warning it will just completely shut off, without going through any shutting down processes or anything like that. It's only happened a few times but I don't want it to get any worse.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Or how I could fix it?

this sometimes happens to my computer too. I think it was because it was over heated because everytime it shut's off, the laptop is really hot and the fan underneath the laptop is full of dust. so i make sure I clean off the dust around and under the laptop and there's also this can with a straw attached to it and you spray it around the laptop and it makes the dust dissapear.

I hope i helped!

so recently, like 2 or 3 months ago, i went to a new school. and it was great, like i made a ton of new friends and everything.. but im finding out now, the group of friends i have now, i don't like them as much as i did in the beginning. i mean, like there all stuck up. and thats how my old friends were, and i just don't wanna get caught up with that whole type of thing again. like for example, were all in 8th grade, and there all dating like highschool guys, and like there all hot and stuff, and so 2 of the girls talk about it allll the time. the other 2 dont. and then, these other 2 girls, just sit there and whisper. like all the time. and then the one that i thought i liked the most, is SUPER SUPER bossy. like oh my god. its so annoying. like i have this lipgloss, thats like 30 dollars. and she'll be like, that color looks fake, here you should use this. and its like this cheap little 7 dollar lipgloss from like, victoria secrets. like i wore that in 7th grade. and she tells me how to do everything & its just so annoying.

what should i do? how can i make it better with them? are lunch tables are permanent seats..

pshh... you call them "friends??" LOL
my friends actually 'respect' me. my advice... don't hang out with them anymore.

if they are going to be your friends, they should at least give you some respect, and loyalty. If you REALLY want them to be your friends, but still want them to change... talk to them about your problem. tell them how you feel and they should understand. If they just laugh at you and make you feel bad, don't even bother saying good bye and just walk out of their lives. because seriously, you don't deserve to have friends who boss you around, telling you what kind of lip gloss is good or bad. Talk to your school principle (or lunch helper) and ask to be moved out of that table. In classes try to make new friends ( that are nice ) and ask one day if you could sit with them at lunch.

those girls are useless and they will make you go nuts if you stay with them. lol.

I hope you make the right choice

I have this one friend, we'll call her Shell, who is really clingy. It usually doesn't bother me that my friends wanna hang out and stuff, but Shell wants to talk to me all the time! I mean, I have friends that don't go to my school, and she does. Well, she wants to talk to me all the time, and when I tell her I need to talk to my other friends, she gets mad and starts saying I don't want to talk to her because she just talks about her problems. That is kind of true, but it isn't that. It's that she is really clingy, and a lot of the stuff she says happens or is happening sounds way to far fetched to be true. She sounds genuine when she talks about it, but it sound a little to out there. Anyway, my question is how do I get her not to be so cling all the time?

haha you sound like me. Last year I met someone and she was a great friend. Then she and I hung out and we became bff but then she got too clingy and started to get annoying when I wanted to be with my other friends (whom I wouldn't see during school)

well I solved this problem by talking to her. Tell Shell how you feel. Tell her that you don't get to talk to your other friends as much anymore and you feel that maybe they are starting to slip away from you, and that it is important that you keep them as friends. You have to tell her the truth. If you don't, she won't know what you are thinking and will keep bugging you.

Tell her polietly. say something like "I feel like my other friends are starting to think i don't like them anymore. Would you mind if I spent a little more time with them?" don't go shouting in her face and saying "i hate you, you bug me, or get away from me, freak." lol

**make sure you tell her that you need some space. Don't forget to tell her that you are not going to ignore her. Because if she get's the picture that you are going to ignore her, she will get mad and that will start HUGE fights. it's happened to me before.

You don't have to hang out with her, but at least make sure that she knows that you are still friends with her. Say 'hi' to her once in a while. Stop and ask her how she's doing. you know... small talk.

I hope I helped and everything goes great!!

Okay so i have a friend, lets call her Maria. Maria is one of my best friends and I'm pretty sure I'm one of hers. I think that she is really sick. She told 2 of our friends what was going on. Apparently she had to go to a hospital or something and she is going to be absent for like two weeks or something. She hasnt told me anything. I have asked her whats wrong and she replied "personal problems" on texting. I've called her and she hasnt answered. I have texted her asking for details. I have IMed her, but when I do puts up an away message. I am really concerned about her and its hurting me that she doesnt feel like she can tell me. What can I do to get her to tell me, or at least talk to me?

talk to her in person. Look deep into her eyes and put on a "i am worried about you" face and tell her exactly how you feel.

tell her that you are her best friend, and she is yours and that you will not do ANYTHING to hurt her in any way. tell her that you are very concerned about her and you would never do anything to embarress her or make her feel bad.

It doesn't matter how many times you ask her, what counts is HOW you say it.

say it like it comes from your heart

-volleyball2150

PS: if she doesn't tell you, maybe she doensn't want anybody to know. it's her decion if she wants to tell you or not. you can't make her do anything. just forget about it if she doesn't tell you.

I need some major help.My family and I are at the end of our rope. My mom broke up with her bf and he took all our money saying that he deserved it because of all the times my mom has borrowed from him. Now we dont have any money to pay the bills or anything. I can't confort my mom, which I usually do, because she says something negetive. Im about to cry with all the problems i have with school, friends, and family. Im up to my neck with problems. This is the first time Ive had a problem like this and couldnt concer(sp) it. Im scared and stressed, what should I do. I need it quickly because, i really am about to cry.

ok.. calm down and relax. First I suggest going to a physician or a counselor. They can really help you with your problems. For school problems, talk to each of your teachers and ask for help. With friend problems... well i really don't know what kind of problems you have with friends but I think It's best to talk to them about it. And with your family... well i don't know how old you are but you can really help by getting a part time job at a store or something. Have a fund raiser, like a car wash or something. Look through your cities job newspaper and see what you can do.

The main idea is to think positive. If you don't think positive, negative things will happen. Sit your mom down and talk to her and say "it's not over yet, we can do this!" Stop crying, because crying won't do anything in life.

I really hope I Helped and everything goes ok. If it doesn't go to a physician or counselor.

ok. so like i was listening to my ipod. and then it jsut shut off. and wouldnt turn on or anything. and the batterie didnt die because i had just finished charging it. and then i tried plugging it into itunes and everything but it wouldnt connect. like i had it in my computer but my ipod wasnt connected and it wouldnt even say charging. liek the screen is black. its not even turning on. i have the red ipod nano. whats wrong? what do i do?

i have a red ipod nano too!

haha anyways....

well you could always take it into the store you bought it in and ask a person who works there.

Or i'm not sure if this works, but try re-starting it. you do that by holding the middle circle button and the play/pause button for a while until it starts up again.

-volleyball2150

OK so i just tested it on my ipod- I discovered that you do not press the play/pause button

you hold down the middle circle button and the MENU button. And no... that will not delete your songs. I promise because i just did it on my ipod.

Like normal i get really bad break-outs at that certain time of the month. I also get really bad i guess you can call bags and they get real dark. Are there any products out there that will get rid of my acne that won't burn my skin? and any idea's for under my eyes?

for acne- i use this and it helps a lot! but you have to make sure not to over do it because it can make your skin dry. so put this on 1-3 times daily.
it is called Acne Medication
http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100303&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod382871

for baggy eyes- i have the exact same problem with under my eyes. i just use cover-up make-up to make it less dark. sorry i couldn't answer this one!

ok i tried out for cheerleading and i didnt make it and im kinda mad at the girls that did. i know i shouldnt but im depressed and im mad at the girls that did make it. how do i get over this?

just forget about it. Keep telling yourself that you are going to tryout next year and you are definitally going to make it. Even though you aren't on the squad, doesn't mean you still can't cheer. Practice cheering and prepare for next year. So that way next year you will make it. Just forget about it and focus on preparing for next year.

stay positive!!

Is there a free program out there for windows that can convert AVI files to files recognizable by itunes so I can put them on my iPod?

umm i'm not sure if this works, but somehow i can do it with a special program.

Try renaming it... so lets say the song is called

Mix.avi

change that to

Mix.mp3

then try to put it on itunes. It always works for me, but i just use a complicated program.
