advice

I am 15 years old and I have 3 nephews and I have 2 neices and 1 on the way so I have babysitting experience my 1 nephue has special needs and needs meds and stuff so I can deal with that. I want to know if you guys think I am able to babysit and I think if people would hire me thank you.

Yes, parents really like it when people are able to give medicine if nessicary. Also, taking on someone with special needs is a hard job. Knowing that you were able to deal with that shoes parents that you are a responsible young adult, who they can trust.

ok is it un normal to still be a virgin or not hooked up yet for my age?

It is totally 100% fine! i'm 13/f too and i'm still a virgin. my sister is 16/f and is still a virgin. When it boils down to it, you shouldn't have se3x until YOUR ready. Regardless, of your age.

I'm a guy and I normally don't have friend troubles, but here it goes..
My best friend has been acting really strange lately; he sort of shuns me now. We talked about it and he said that he was just going through some changes and that it wasn't my fault. He said that we were still best friends but he needed some space. I'm still confused though; if it wasn't my fault, then why do I feel so bad? and how can I approach my friend without being suffocating? This isn't normally a problem for me, but I just want to be as good of a friend as I can be.

all good friendships have their ups and downs. I for one have had tough times and taken it out on my friends with out noticeing it. so i know how he feels. I think that maybe if you just act like nothings happening you could just say hey whats up? but you can't be too pushey. to be the best friend that you can be is to really be there for him. maybe just come flat out and tell him that you will always be there for him and he can tell you anything. you may think this is cheasy but in the long run it may make or brake how long it takes him to get over this.

hope i helped

I have a double chin. But I'm not at all fat. How do you get rid of this?

Okay so i got this off of a website

and heres what it says:::

1) EAT LESS

You can lose a double chin by eating less. By limiting your calorie intake, you reduce the amount of fat you store in your body and your face.

2) EXERCISE

Exercising burns more calories and reduces the amount of fat in your overall body. Most of us have difficulty finding the time to exercise regularly though.

3) PLATYSMA EXERCISE

It is an exercise where you open the mouth as widely as possible, then stretch the lower lip and jaw over your top row of teeth. The theory is that if you exercise this muscle, it will tighten the muscles around the chin and help you lose a double chin. Another way to use these muscles is to chew sugar free gum. I’ve also heard that this exercise can make your double chin worse though, because it stretches the skin under the jaw and makes the skin sag. Check results daily to see if the exercise works for you.

4) CHIN LIPOSUCTION

Chin Liposuction is a costly method where fat is drained from the problematic area. It is often dangerous and you can face risks of death from blood clots, infection, lidocaine can cause heart failure, etc…Also, if you do not change your eating patterns and reduce your caloric intake, your double chin will come back.

5) VELFORM CHIN WRAP (My vote for best way to lose a double chin!)

It is a new anti-aging product. It helps reaffirm and shrink the skin hanging around the chin. It works quickly and effectively to resculpt the chin. The Velform Chin Wrap helps reduce the amount of fat and hanging skin. You can immediately see results in as little as one week. You do not have to change your entire lifestyle (eating patterns, etc.) and it is very cheap and effective. If you want to find more about Velform Chin Wrap, the site below provides more information.

back to me =] anyway so you don't want a list that says monday is fruitday and tuesday is meatday because they you may not get the proper intakes of the other foods on those days. Just don't eat candy, fast food for a little bit. also, watch how much you are eating that will help.


hope i helped!

p.s look on google for more...thats what i did to get the website =]

good luck!

Awhile back, I joined the newspaper at my college. Unfortunately, I decided that it wasn't a good fit and dropped the activity about a month and a half later. When I had only been working there for about two weeks, I was approached about purchasing a t-shirt with the organization's name on it, and I agreed. Now, several weeks later, I have been informed that the t-shirts have come in. One person (who was in charge of purchasing the t-shirts) has asked me to pay for mine. Now that I'm no longer a part of the organization, I don't particularly want to pay for an overpriced t-shirt that I can't wear. As a college student with no job, I can't really afford to buy things left and right, especially if I don't need (or even want) them. I certainly would pay if I were still a part of the organization, but now I'm not sure what to do. The t-shirt isn't personalized- should I pay and get the shirt, or tell them to sell it to someone else?

I personally feel, that you shouldn't have to buy the t-shirt. Your not apart of the group so why would you want one? also, those shirts are for people in the club ONLY so now that your not in it you shouldn't get it. i think that if you can't afford it just tell them. tell them the truth that since you quit you don't hink you should have one, also that you can't afford to buy it just to have.

hey, i am 100 lbs and 14/f
i want to lose around 5-10 lbs.
any suggestions?

Ok i think i need to point out that you should not loose weight. you should just tone up your body. also, i'm 13/f and 117 and i'm still one of the tiniest girls in my class. i run so my lower body is very musculer. i think that if you don't want your legs to be over musculated--if thats a word just exercise in a bunch of different ways and rather than focas on what your not eating focas on what you are eating. eat the right amount of all the food groups a day and drink 8 glasses of water

ok. my bf and i recentllly broke up. I don't like hurting him, but I had to. But he promised me he would never date the chick he is now. I think he's doing it to make me jelous. What do you think? I meaan, I GREATLY appriciate the girl coming to me asking my opion, and I told her to go for it. Then I said no, cuz he would hurt her like he did me. ( this guy grabbed me by the throght, very aggresive, and is now threatining to hurt me and my best friend.) So OF COURSE I don't want her going out with him. I mean HELLO! Domestic violence!!! Not to mention, I lost my virginity to this guy. Bu I mean, one of my friends told me, that, I moved on, he can to. So I told his new gf, go for it. So she did. Then I herd that he was ganna hurt me and my friend ( trust me, I have a good enough reason to belive it). So I told her, cause I don't want them to break up, and for him to go psyco on her. ( he's done it to more than one ex gf.) ( which te''s you what?) So how do I help her, and more importantly, how do I transfer some of that jelousy into love for my new bf? Cause last night we just said I love you, and it's really hard ya kno? I don't know what to do.

I think that the only thing you can really do for this girl is just tell her what happened to you and what he did to you. maybe even go to the counsler. if she decides to stay with him...then oh well. you tried and you can't do anything more. as for you moving on if you really care for the guy your with now, maybe you guys should have sex so you feel more connected with him. also just stop caring about you ex. just be like whatever when you see him. pay more attention to your new boyfriend and show him that you care a lot about him. all you really can do to like your current boyfriend is to just spend time with him.

Also, you guys may want to spend more 1 on 1 time so you can connect without having outher people their to say don't say that or w/e. Maybe, tell him a secret so you guys know something about each other that no one else knows.
good luck

I'm a 42 y/o single man. Less then a month ago my best friend died in an accident. I have not been able to come to grips with his death. I have recently been having thoughts of ending my life. This happens whenever I am alone, especially at night. I have lost loved ones before, including my parents and brother all within a year of each other, but I never felt this type of despair, or loneliness. I am afraid I may eventually give in to my suicidal urge. Can anyone help me?

I know how you feel. Honestly, you know deep down in your heart that your friend is watching over you. You need to live your life because your friend now doesn't have the chance. everytime you think of suicide you need to remember that in the bible it says that if you commit suicide that you will go to hell. your friend is in heaven. so if you kill yourself you won't see your friend. i think that you deffinetly need to go and live with someone until these feelings pass. Its okay to remember your friend but you need to remember that your friend wants you to live and is watching over you.

Ok so I really like this guy and he sits behind me in one of my classes and today something special happened. well for me it was special because i'm not experienced with guys. we had to do this activity where one person in a group of like 6 had to be the boss and had to write the answer of a question down on a piece of paper. Most of my group chose the guy that I liked (he's in my group fyi) and he didn't want to do it so then he gave the paper to me. I took my pencil and started writing our group names and just then he put his hand on my shoulder and said "good luck" I looked at him and we both smiled.

Then we won that round so we earned candy. My teacher gave me a candy that i hated so i said "anyone want mine" and a few people said "oh i do!" including the guy i liked, so i gave it him and smiled.

then we played another round of that game and this time he was the boss. he wrote down an answer and then looked at me (an I'm-not-so-sure, is-this-right? sort of way) and I looked at him and we sorta had a moment where we just looked into our eyes for like 5 seconds. Then i said "yeah thats right" and smiled and then we won that round too but no candy.

Thats the only good thing that happened but what bad happened was that before all of this happened we had to get in our groups and write an essay from our homework assignments. usually our group is goofing off except him and I so we normally do it ourselves. but this time all of our group was participating so he never talked to me during that and never looked at me.

does any of this mean anything? How can I talk to him about stuff other than school? I want to make sure it doesn't sound stupid because i don't want to just all of a sudden bring up stuff about non-school. make sure it transitions smoothly. help?

oh and if it helps, my best friend lives by him...

thanks so much and sorry its so long. I REALLY like him! he is so perfect for me.

I think that there might be a little somethin somethin goin onn...=] haha yeah so i don't think that anything is really happening but it has potental. I mean you need to have a regular conversation, even if its about school, before you think of making anythin. you need a friendship first. so i think that even if it takes talking about school the first few times, that you need to do it. he may be just as scared to talk to you as you are. so why not just ask him a simple question like can you explain how to do the math prob? --he explains-- thanks i'm soo bad at math and then after a few convos you could just say i think i need a totor and see if he says anything. i think that a relationship here will really blossom if you to actually connect and are able to talk to one another without feeling scared. also, if your shy i think that maybe you could start off easy. the main thing that you need to remember that if you really like him as much as you say you do, it shouldn't matter what you talk about but rather that your talking to him. so take a chance and walk up to him and say hi whats up. after all, lifes to short to be shy!

Hey, im 14/f. Me and my mom kinda have a really bad relationship. Ofcourse, being a daughter I want to have a mother to count on and be able to tell her my secrets w/o her yelling or getting upset with me. I would like to have a nice mature conversation with her telling her that i wish to have a mother daughter relationship in which i dont have to be scared to tell her things nor do i have to sneek things by her. I also want her to understand that i am in deed growing and need to be allowed to do more things and have more priviledges. PLEASE HELP. HOW DO I TELL HER ALL tHIS IN A MATURE WAY? Thank you veryyyy much. :)

I was in a similer situation. This is tough because you want to be able to talk with her in person but your not ready to, i know because i was the same way. My mom never even knew what i felt until one day i wrote her a note that just basicly said that i needed to talk to her but i wasn't sure if i could do it in person. so i suggested e-mail. so we worked out our problems over e-mail and the best part was if she was mad because of what i wrote, she wasn't yelling. now that we both have what we have to say off our chests we can now talke in person normally. i belive, that you should do the same. just for a little bit untill you can actually repair the damage thats been done to your relationship, you can't really just walk right up to her and tell her everything you want to tell her.

hope i helped!

my friends is freakin out and crying and she HATES this one guy. me and him were best friends then i started liking him then she started and she was sayin how she has her whole life. she didnt know him. and everything i would do with him as friends shed say oh yea we did that too or shed go up and grab him sayin hiii. he was gettin really pissed about this because he liked me and i liked him and we were best friends. i said i didnt like him (faking it) then she said neither did she. then she turned me and him against each other. me and him HATED eachother did anything to piss eachother off. we became friends again and are best friends again. shes crying sayin how he was such a bitch to her and did all this stuff. he did nothing to her. he did everything to me but me and him talked alot and forgave eachother. their both my best friends. someone brought up the topic of who likes who then she started cryin goin off about him?! sum it up he did nothing to her. he did everything to me but we made up. she says everything i told her about me and him happend to her makin everyone get mad at him. and shes pissed off saying everyone always confuses her to be me but never thinkin im her. she always has lied alot. dont say im doin this because i want him hes just my best friend which will never be the same again. me and her are really drifting apart not because of this but she dose stuff like this about everything i say or do. what do i do? i just cant even really explain it this might not make sense PLEASE try though.

I've been in a similer situation. If you like this guy and he likes you, go for it. If you guys are drifting away you might as well get the guy out of it. MOst of the time i'd say pick friends over a guy but it doesn't seem like you and the drama queen are really friends. If she likes when you come and talk to her streight forward then do that. Otherwise, i think that you should just cut her out and let her be. you don't need to be rude to her. but you don't need to be BFF's either. if she says hi, say hi back. and if she dets mad because you and the guy go out thne i think that that is when you need to explain to her that you really like him. And you need to make it clear that you two [if you still want to be friends] will always be BFF's and that is why she needs to let you go out with him. best friends support each others disicions.

I live in the dorms with a roommate at my college. My roommate is wonderful and she's really sweet, BUT she has really bad body odor. I don't know what causes it because she showers everyday and stuff, but she smells just awful and so does her side of the room.

At first, I thought it was just the room we were in, so I bought a bunch of air fresheners and I kept the window open to kind of air out the room. It worked for a little while, but it came back and I think it's because of her. I've noticed she never does laundry other than her work clothes and she never wears socks (like ever) so the smell is possibly coming from her feet.

I cannot move because I've already moved once this year and it would be too much to move again.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to be rude to her, but I don't want my stuff to start smelling like her either. Is there any way I can talk to her about it? Should I buy her socks as a gift or something?

I really can't stand to hurt her feelings. :(

This is a common problem. I think that you should not talk to her streight up unless you want to mess up the relationship. I think that maybe you could offer to do her laundry maybe if your going to do a dark load just casually say, Hey, do you have any darks you wanna wash...my loads half empty or something in a friendly way. Also i agree with the last person that you could buy her socks. But not to make it noticeable that you know she doesn't wear socks, i would buy a really funny pair that suits her personality and when you give them to her say i saw these and there TOTALLY you so i HADD to get them! or something along that line

I really like the way that Miley Cyrus has her hair in this picture. My hair is about medium length, about, 2 inches below my shoulders. I'm growing it out, and I want it to look like this. So, when I get it cut to this stlye, what all would I have to ask for to get the CUT STYLE just like this? I want my bangs to look like it too. So, would all I have to ask for are alot of long layers?

Thanks so much for your help!

I think the best way to get that look the way you want is to ask the person who does your hair. bring it with and show her or him that you want it. also say why you like it, this way if they say it won't look good with your face shape then you can come up with a better haircut that would look better.

My mom really likes when my brother, sister, and I make it special. so for one year, i got to bright red poster boards--have to be red on both sides

Well my friend isn't really hanging out with us anymore. Actually we had a pretty big group of friends but its kinda split up now. We have all talked to her but she seems like she has split off now. She hangs out with 3 other friends (they are all our friends) But she keeps saying its really important and we can't know. I mean I get it if its really important. But when I'm with the other half of our group they are all just laughing and stuff. I mean they are not even talking about anything important. She still comes up and gives us hugs but then she goes off. All of us think that except the ones that are with her. The only time she hangs out with is when she has no one else to hang out with. Its stupid and I'm tired of it. I mean I like her alot, I don't hate her. So please help me out. Thanks a whole lot!

Many people change over time. It's her time now. You don't need to be BFF's with her but you don't have to ignore her either. I would just keep saying hi to her you can keep hugging her but don't worry about that other group. just stick with the people who don't just use you. If your boerd to then hang out with her but don't feel the need to ALWAYS say yes to give her what she wants. She might be going through some tough times at home and just need some people to laugh with. i understand your tierd of it but just take my advise and don't start a fight whatever you do. i've done that before and i ruined my friendship with my whole group.

How do I forget about someone I'm so crazy about? There's no hope of getting back what I had in the past and my only choice right now is to move on. But I need help on how to do that.

Moving on is different for everyone. And it is hard, it really is. but the only way to truly move on is to open up your chances and possibilities. If a guy starts to like you, give him a chance. half the people who end up together never liked each other in the first place i know this sounds weird but you never REALLY know a person until you spend time and talk with them.

good luck

okay so i'm planning on redoing my room soon, and i wanna do like 3 of the walls, different shades of brown, and then one cheetah skin, but i'm not sure how to do that. i don't wanna do wallpaper, because its hard to get off. i was think maybe fabric but idk how...any suggestions??

I think that your best bet is Wallpaper. I know you don't want to do that but fabric might be harder to get off because you have to glue it and it could be really thick. anyway, wallpaper really isn't that hard to get off you just take a paint brush dip it in water "paint" the wall with the water and then take a scraper and just scrape it off.

Also, if you use paint then you risk messing up and just making circles rather than cheetah spots.

I have a best friend who tends to forget that we've made plans. We make them, we let each other know when we're going to call each other, but she'll forget and hang out with someone ele. It's starting to make me mad, becauese I'm sitting around waiting for het to call back when I could be out w/other ppl. SHoiuld I be mad, or is this something that I should just calmly talk to her about?

Many people forget about a lot of stuff. but i deffinetly think that you should talk to her. maybe the next time she doesn't call you, you call her. And if that doesn't work then the next day just calmly tell her that it kind of makes you upset that she just blows you off. Just make sure you say it calmly so that why it doesn't erupt into a HUGEE argument..--i've made that mistake before--but just tell her how it makes you feel and suggest she wright down your plans at what time.

hope i helped!
