I have a guy friend who asked me for money for his birthday this year. I know its a bit impersonal, but its what he wants. anyway, anyone have a cool/creative way to like give to him? thanks.

Gift card is a nice way, especailly if there is a nic picture on it. If you want you can put the gift card in a bigger box, so it looks like something else, but it's not.
Put, the money in a card, so that it falls out when he opens the card.
Say, you give him a twenty. Well, do some cool oragami with it. You can find them online. Like make a shirt or a heart.

i can perfectly be social with people at school,
even when im only with a friend.
but then when theres a large number of people im going to hang out with, i get very quiet. this is because i don't always know them well and don't want to say something wrong.
what can i do, to be more social around large groups of people?

http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Social-Skills

Forget the feeling of looking stupid or saying somthing wrong. Just talk like you would to your friend or a normal person. Be friendly and kind. Ask questions. Mkae good coments and don't respond if you don't know what they are talking about.

good luck

I have to learn 40 verbs (in dutch) for the end of the week..so Friday...
What would be the best way to learn them?!
Here's an example of how the verbs are like

Mogen-Mogen-Mocht(en)-Gemogen

All 40 verbs are written out like that.
What would be the best way to learn them?


Thank you so much!

http://www.wikihow.com/Remember-Lists-of-Words-With-the-Memory-Trick

http://www.wikihow.com/Study-So-You-Can-Remember-Everything

split the words into the days you have to study them. So like 10 words a day. This way it seems less and not so overwhelming. Memorize that many each day. Spend the last two days reviewing all of them.

Good luck.

Ok, I'm female and almost 14.

So one of the guys in my class tries to annoy me. During 6th period he uses his foot to shake my desk and looks at me sometimes, and in 4th period he was REALLY close to me and looking over my shoulder while I was reading the chapter's notes aloud. He keeps saying stuff to me like he's my boyfriend, but in a joking way. Recently, one of his relatives passed away, and since then, he's either nice to me or tells me to shut up when I'm not even talking to him! I'll admit, I kind of "like" him, but I really don't KNOW him... I really don't know what to do. Does he like me? And if he does, what do I do next?

i am trying to lose weight again. (i did it over the summer but gained it all back in fall.)ugh ok so about a week and a half a go i was doing great at excersising and eating healthy. i would go running/walking a mile and a half every night with my dad and if i didnt do that i would do the elliptical. plus i was in softball and volleyball. then during volleyball like last tuesday, i broke my wrist and thumb. im not allowed to run, or basically do anything active (incase i fall) but i do the elliptical still and ive been eating healthy for the most part. but still does anyone have any excersises i could do with my cast on? like any cardio that i dont have to use my left arm for or do anything too bad that would make me "fall" as the doctor says. i really need to get this going to be ready for summer. thanks so much!

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=536463

well, the reason you aren't loosing much weight is because doing the same thing over and over will not do much good. You have to challenge yourself/your body and make it work harder. Increase your time or the difficulty.

okay i recently wanted to start to wear eyeliner.
i found this CLINIQUE EYE DEFINING DUO AND BLACK LINER in my drawer that i never used before. i got it when i was 8, and well, you know how 8 year old girls love to experiment. so i went crazy and put heavy eyeliner. and so my parents just laughed it off and said i was too young. so now i found it, and i want to wear it again. but im afraid my parents will joke around about it with the rest of my family (to the point where they say "ohhh hey my daughters wearing eyeliner now"

they dont mind me wearing eyeliner i guess but i dont it to be a big deal when they see me wearing it. so how should i go about wearing eyeliner without them making a big deal and laughing it off

Try to ignore their comments. They just say it because they are watching ou grow up. If they don't stop, then tell them that it's no big deal and to kindly stop. But, by new eyeliner, because eyeliner expires in 5-6 months!

Okay, I have to write a comedic monologue for my Drama class auditions.

I want to do on regular things that happen everyday, you know kind of like Dane Cook style. Does anyone have any ideas?

go on youtube.com and look up "Ellen Degeneres". There are two "Beginning" and "Here and Now". In both, she makes the audience laugh while mentioning common, everyday things. Maybe, you'll get some ideas fom there.

Look at other comedians for ideas. Like "Dane Cook" on youtube as well.

Good Luck

if i only drank water, and ate fruits, veggies, and salads would i lose any weight? i mean without working out.
i know clearly if i did that, i would lose weight if i was exercising too, but i am asking if i didn't. and i don't like fish and i guess that's healthy or whatever, i am so picky, so it's hard to eat healthy.

actually, let me tell you something.

There are two things that go into loosing weight and maintaining good health.
1) Eating healthier
2) Exerciseing
Eating healthier makes sure that you don't gain anymore weight. While, exercising helps you to loose the weight you have currently and gain musle mass. So no, only eating healthier does not make you loose weight. It only makes sure you don't gain any additional weight.

If you do want to loos weight, then you will have to exercise.

Hey, I had sex with my boyfriend friday night (I'm on the pill, we had a condom, it didn't break, he pulled out, ext.) And I know forsure I'm not pregnant. Well, my vagina really hurts, and it feels like, swollen maybe? And when I pee, it's weird smelling, and I'm having discharge stuff. This happened in November, and my friend said she thought it was a U.T.I. (urinary track infection) Well, this is pretty much the same as it was then, and, it went away on it's own last time, but, I was just wondering what it was for sure, and if there's anything I can do with out going to a doctor until I have to next month for more birth control. Thanks! sorry it was so long.

what you can do instead is call your doctor up and explain this. Then when you tell him/her about it, ask if s/he thinks that you should come in. This way you will know how serious this is or if its normal.

i have a treo phone with for verizon and my family has a plan already for a shared family plan... if i wanted to activate the treo would i have to have my own plan and if not how much extra a month would it be?

the best way would be to go to the website or even talk to someone at a store that sells them. You will get accurate advice and of course a lot more help.

Im 13 and i am a female

There is a guy at school that I really like and we have been friends for a really long time, but recently we got in a fight and now things are better but, our relashionship hasn't really been the same. I don't know how to tell him that I love him. You know the feeling that you are just supposed to be with someone but you don't know if they feel the same way? Well that is how I feel. I know that he likes me though because I talk to him and flirt with him and text him all the time, I just think that he likes other people more than he likes me. It doesn't really bother me that I don't know if we will ever be a couple, but it really bothers me because I see what our realationship could be and I want it to be that way. I can never get my mind off of him. It feels like when I dont' see him there is a huge hole in my heart. I love him more when he is not around. The days that we talk I wish that he would ask me out and the days that i don't talk to him, I feel weak and like he took a big chunk of me with him. i know you are probably wondering how a 13 year old could feel this way, but i just do. I love him. And i wont be satisfied with myself until he asks me out or he just tells me that he loves me. I can tell he loves me, but i dont think he will ever say it out loud. What should i do? I need advice!!!

my 6pac is geetin 2 big and almost stikin out what canin do

hope you mean abs.

Honestly, i would love to answer your question but there are a couple of things that prevent me from doing this.
1)spelling/grammer-using correct english makes it easier to see what you are asking. A question mark couldn't hurt either.
2)age and gender would help
3)if were a little more specific. What do you mean by getting too big? sticking out?

I don't want to give you the wrong answer so if you would please kindly send this question again (clearly written) I would love to answer it! thank you!

There's this girl in two of my classes who's somtimes...I say "picky" on others but in a fun way. But it seems that she's more "picky" on me, like a mean almost bullying way and it's hurtful sometimes and when i go home i cry. I'm pretty short but she's the shortest girl ever which makes me feel ashamed that i'm even offended, depressed, and intiminated by her.

Is this something..normal or would you consider this bullying? And what can i do about this? I'm trying to avoid her but it's very hard to since she sits 1 seat beside me to my left.

don't be afraid. It's not worth it to cry or be upset. Try your best to ignore and if that gets old then stand up to her. Not in fighting mode, but more like "Dude, would just stop it already" or "If you think this is funny, well you're the only one" this way she can see that you can stand up for yourself and are not afraid. :)

what are the most effective work outs for quick weight loss?

link:
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=536463

weightloss takes time, there is in reality no quick way. that's only by fad diets, but those don't work well and you only loose water weight. Your weightloss is determined by your effort and body type.

good luck :)

There's this culiminating assignment that you can get in a group and act out a scene from Romeo and Juliet in your own way OR if you have no friends like me:

Ok I have to write a 2-3 page sililoquy using the story Romeo and Juliet and I'm having troubles because first of all, I'm not even sure of what it definitely is so I wouldn't be glad if I had to type 2 more pages because I didn't get it. Even though it's long, can someone give me an example of a sililoquy please?

We have to dress up in costume too and I don't have money to get stuff... what can I do?

And We have to MEMORIZE it! I cna't even remmeber phone numbers, how can i memorize 2-3 pages of words?

well first of all you have to know what a soliloquy is. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/soliloquy if you don't)

example of one
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4DKUS_en___US268&q=soliloquy+romeo+and+juliet

about dressing up, why not pretend to be the guy. It'll be eaiser to dress as the guys because their clothing isn't as "intricate". Besides, its easier finding pants and shirts that you have rather than dressing in a dress.

as for memorizing, i would say practice! I had to do something like this myself and i practiced alot. The more you practice the less scared you will get. Perform it in front of the mirror and even family. Take it a couple lines at a time. Don't try to memorize all at once because you will feel overwhelmed. Also, make your speech interessting, it will be easier to memorize if there is a meaning behind the words.

good luck and if you have any oter questions then feel free to ask. :)
