My dog just died today and I'm soooo sad! =( She didn't suffer, thank god, but I just can't get over it. She was the greatest dog, and I love her so much. What can I do to feel better?
Thanks

think of the good times youn had with her...or talk to someone

15/f I get really chapped lips, but they don't crack or anything, they just get sore and red and sometimes itchy. They flake too. So anyway, I've tried loads of different chapsticks and stuff, even blisteze which is a really good medical thing to use. It's really annoying me cuz I can't wear lip gloss or anything, plus they itch and I get red bits around my lips too. Does anybody know what's up with them?

you might not be drinking enough water.. so maybe drink more water and keep using chapstick

Im 13/f and one of my best friends (12/f) tryed somking today with her two other friends who have somked sice they were 10.
I am really against smoking and when I talked to her about it, she said she was, and didn't tell me that she tried it or act like anything was weird. I know she told others, I saw her whispering. I know she did it because I was with a group of friends next to the bush where they smoke and I saw her smoking. She was coughing all the way through the next lesson and STANK.
This was in first break and she went off with the other two at lunch too, so she might of been smoking then too. I havn't told her that I know.---How do I stop her before she gets addicted?---
She is really into sports and I know smoking makes you breathless and bad at sport. I think she would have a far better life if she didn't smoke. Sorry about the length!
Zoin.

talk to her,tell her that you care and that shes hurting herself and everything like that. tell her the risks and what could happen

(13/f)My friend, Amy, got me together with a guy called Wayne as a joke because nobody likes Wayne. But I started to really like him. I could tell him anything. He was my best friend. However, he can't stay out of trouble and I found out his grades are really low. So I broke up with him. Now he says he wants me back but he won't change to meet my standards He says he'll try but he doesn't put forth much effort. I told him I just wanted to be friends but it's hard for me because I'm not over him yet. I still want to treat him like a boyfriend. What should I do?

well since his grades are dropping you should help him study or have him do extra credit.. something like that, tell him that you still want to go out with him and everything and then he might change

My boyfriend is prude and won't make any moves like handing hands or kissing. I would really like him to show his affection for me sometimes. Should I make the moves or is he not interested in it? I don't want to scare him off. If I do make moves, what should I do and how? People tell me to follow my heart but how do I know how he feels? Please help!

he may be waiting for you to make the move like he might not know if you want to or something. so make the move

when are you "old" enough to wear makeup (not just lipgloss and glitter)

well you can be any age to wear make up...

One of my friends has this friend that I cannot stand at all. She's really snobby to me and my friend just dosen't seem to understand that. They've been friends forever and I told her that I dont like her friend but she just dosen't understand. I can hate who i hate right? Why should she be mad at me for that kind of reason?

well yes you can hate who you want to hate but do you no her? i mean i hate this one girl and when i talk to her she alright but then shes all ew.. maybe she doesnt like you talking about her frined im not really sure on what you should do but i think you should talk to her again and tell her that its ok that shes friends with her and stuff

Hey, I'm 13/f and I think that my best friend might be gay. I mean, she's rather stalker-like, won't stop givin me stupid out-of-the-blue hugs, and keeps telling me online that she loves me. It's making me feel really uncomfortable and I have NO clue what to do.

I rate 5's for everyone..

hmm..i would talk to her tell her how you feel about it...thats the same with me but i no shes BI(she told me)

I have an extremely sore throat. It wouldn't be a big deal but I have singing try-outs for the school play on Tuesday. Does anyone know how to heal a sore throat fast? Thanks.

dont talk a lot,drink tea

**To ease a viral sore throat at home, treat the other symptoms of your cold as well. Your sore throat may be caused by drainage from your sinuses. In this case, blow your nose often so the drainage doesn’t drip down your throat. Also, sleep with your head elevated. Run a humidifier or vaporizer near your bed so your throat doesn’t dry out in the night, especially if your stuffy nose causes you to breathe through your mouth.

Remember the old saltwater treatment your mother prescribed? It’s still one of the most effective home treatments for easing sore throats. Pour yourself a glass of warm water and dissolve a couple of teaspoons of salt in it. Then buck up and gargle the stuff. Initially it will make you cringe, but your throat will feel better almost immediately.

If you simply can’t stand the thought of gargling saltwater, you can find throat lozenges at the drugstore. Lozenges containing Vitamin C and Zinc may help you get over your cold faster, but only if you begin taking them as soon as you notice symptoms. **

yes.. ok so i poked my mom's eye with a clothing hanger.. it was by accident. we were taking about how she sits at home and does nothing while my grandparents hafta take care of my brother and sister who is 2 and 5... ya she started hitting me and then i was all like "stop hitting me" and then i accidently poked her in the eye and then i said sorry and then she started crying really loudly like how she does when my dad and her start fighting and they make eachother bleed and bruise all over.. yes.. screwed up.. neway ya.. after she called my dad to gimme crap about poking her she started dragging me across the floor and hitting me and crap and then i told her to go to hell.. ehh.. ya.. so wut am i supose to do now? i'm not calling child helpline or w/e..

ok you really need to tell someone it go farther and she could do something as bad as death..so maybe go see a shrink or something or tell an adult

In my house, my siblings have about average grades. Since i was young i have done extremely well. Last year i got a 4.0 through the hole year. Now school is getting very difficult for me but somehow i manage to do okay. It is my freshmen year in high school and i got 4 a's and 2 b's and i wish i could do better. I have a hard time memorizing things so when tests come i bomb them. My family is not what you would call rich, but we arent poor either. my parents would have all 3 of us kids in college at the same time when im a freshmen in college. I want to get a schollarship somewhere but as my dad says, "A's will get you schollarships, b's wont." My question is what are some different ways that all of you memorize the hard facts, expecially in biology and history.

you can make flash cards..or like make "catchy" logo kind of a thing..i 5th grade we made up a logo thing which was to remember the pelvis so we said elvis because he always shaked his hips..something like that

also you dont have to have all A's.and you could also play a sport,and if your good they could except you

If I take my cartilidge piercings out for like 30 minutes every weekday for gym class, do you think it'll close? I've had one of them since June '04, and the other since August'04 =) thanks.

girls say they love you, but they dont show it why is that?

I like someone and my crush likes me too. Whenever he tells me to call i make up an excuse not to because i get really nervous. Hes getting sick of it what should i do ?
