is there a way to change it to be inbetween two of the preset options? such as 1024 by 768 is what i normally use, but i want more. so i moved it up a notch to 1280 by 1024, but that's a little too much. is there a way to get it inbetween, or no? [i'm using a laptop if the counts for anything, which i'm not sure if it does.] (link)

Some video cards do have an intermediate resolution of 1152 x 864, but if yours doesn't, there's no way to make it so. You can't just choose arbitrarily; you're stuck with what is available.
However, you can change the size of your icons, text, and other such things in the Display Properties window. Assuming you're using XP, click over to the "Appearance" tab. You can change the font size between Normal, Large, and Extra Large. If you click on Effects, you can use large icons. And if you really want to tweak things, you can click on Advanced and specifically select your font sizes, colors, typestyles, etc.
If you enlarge your fonts and icons, you may find that the 1280 x 1024 resolution works for you.

I have two questions does anyone have any recommendations on th best hypnotist cd's i can use.
Does any one know any movies with great graphic lovemaking scenes? (link)
|
I can't answer the first one definitively; I've never tried such things. I would suggest that you get something that's endorsed by an actual doctor of psychology, because otherwise you might just get some weird new-age music with someone talking over it in a soothing voice that doesn't actually do a blind bit of good.
As for the second question... last time I checked there is a thriving 12-billion-dollar-a-year industry churning out thousands upon thousands of movies that are comprised of NOTHING BUT graphic lovemaking scenes! And as luck would have it, at this very moment, you are on the internet, where it's almost impossible NOT to find them. I can't give you any specific recommendations on titles because there are kids on this site, but trust me: whatever your tastes, someone out there is catering to it.

21, f and not US/EN.
I'm really confused and I really need some advice. I hope this question will not be banned or deleted, as far as I can tell it doesn't contain any illegal or obscene content.
So here's the "plot": How would you _mature_ people out there rate a (still) innocent "flirt" with an University teacher? The age range is something like: I'm 21, he's around his 40s. We're both single, we're both geeks in our field and we somehow sympathize each other. Hell, even my colleagues noticed that... Even if they don't know I've been having such a huge crush on this guy for more than a year... Nothing beyond this stage, but I feel it's kind of possible to push this relation to a higher level. (He seems to be a very shy and sensitive guy so I guess I shall be the one to do the first step - *if* there'll ever be a first step, that is...) What are your thoughts on this? Could this be considered "un-ethical"? Or bad, or... whatever?
I'd appreciate your feedback, since I can't think of anyone to whom I could ask this question. (link)

The biggest problem I foresee is if he's YOUR teacher. For a teacher to date or otherwise be intimately involved with a student is considered a serious breach of professional ethics and is cause for dismissal at most schools. That being the case, you would need to avoid approaching him until after you have graduated (it's not enough to wait until after you're out of his class - he is still a teacher, and you are still a student).
If you're not a student, but you are employed in some way at the university, there could still be problems. Some schools have regulations against the faculty or staff dating each other, especially if he is in a position of professional authority over you. Again, if that is the case, you would need to terminate your business relationship before considering a personal one - in other words, quit your job. If the school does NOT have any such regulations, then you could go ahead, but proceed with caution; if it doesn't work out, there could be consequences beyond the usual breakup.
However, if you're not a student or an underling and it's just a matter of the age difference, then I'd say go for it. There's nothing unethical about that at all, so long as you're both adults. Most people would have trouble relating to each other over a 20-year age gap, but hey, maybe you're not most people!

my name is Jay i'm 13/m/north carolina. I extremely like this girl and when i finally ask her out, she rejects me. SHe was the girl of my dreams!! That was about 2 weeks ago but i still like her. What should i do? (link)
|
I'm going to assume that she's probably also around 13 years old. That's pretty young to start dating. She might not be ready to go out with anybody yet, or she may be ready but not allowed to. In other words, it's not necessarily a personal rejection.
If it IS personal, though, all hope is not lost. People change a great deal during their teen years, and the person you become may very well end up being the sort of person she will become attracted to. You can improve your chances by taking some positive steps.
Don't allow yourself to get all melancholy and depressed about her. That won't help, and she's certainly not going to change her mind out of pity. See what you can do to remain a visible part of her life; say hello to her when you pass her in the hall, sit close to her in classes (not next to her, that's too pushy), and if you find that she's interested in something that you are too, see if you can use that to bring you into closer contact. Example: if she's in the drama club, and you like that sort of thing too, join the same club. Do NOT join something that you don't like just to be close to her, though - that's not being true to yourself, and insincerity is very unattractive.
Give it at least one full year, unless she gives some sign that you're starting to interest her. (Note - during that time, don't forget that there are other girls out there, and you may find someone who attracts you more than whats-her-name ever did!)
Then start going out of your way to talk to her. Offer small (sincere) compliments and occasionally get caught staring at her. Finally, when it seems the time is right, ask her out again. Maybe she will have changed her mind.
Most important: if she starts acting like you bother her, STOP. It's very irritating for someone to be the target of unwanted attention, and you certainly don't want her telling all her friends what a jerk you are, or you'll never get ANYONE to go out with you. It may be that she will simply never feel any measure of attraction to you, and you will just have to live with that. Know when to quit, and you will spare yourself a lot of headache and heartache.
But hey, you can always hope!

I know i love my boyfriend. I know because.. well.. i just know. I don't have to think about it twice and i care about him so much. And sometimes when were just laying together i want to say it to him soo badly. But i don't.
You see, we've been dating for about 7 months and the only times we really say i love you is like if were signing off aim or through a text message. Never in person yet though. I feel like that is a pretty big step. But i know i want to.
I have reservations though: Is saying "i love you" for the first time the boys job? What if i say it and he doesn't say anything back? Should i say it at a random time or plan it?
If anyone has been in this situation please help me out. Even if you havn't and you have an opinion, anything would be appreciated! thanks so much. (link)
|
Saying "I love you" isn't the boy's job. Nor is it the girl's job. When one of you has such feelings, express them!
I think you should tell him, but be aware that he might not be ready to say it in return. If that's the case, try not to be upset - he may feel it for you eventually, but some people take more time than others. So if he doesn't say it back, it's NOT a rejection. It's just that he wants to wait until he can say it and really mean it.
There's no need to plan it, but don't pick a random moment either; pick the RIGHT moment. You'll know the right moment because it will feel right.

I do so much apreciate your advice,I got up this morning, and 8 of my tires on my 2 vehicles had been knifed. No doubt the ones who have Holli. I was extremely upset, but Ive decided to leave it alone, I know that was a warning, and my father lives 2 doors down from the ones I think did it and I cant take any more chances. i KNOW i WATCH TO MUCH CSI, LOL.I AM BACKING OFF. (link)
|
Forgive me - Advicenators gives no identifying information, so I don't know who you are. I assume you are the one who wrote to me about your recently-turned-18 daughter who's having trouble?
If so, then I'd say it IS a warning, and a disturbing one - it means that if she chooses to come back home and get help, you may face further threats or actual danger. You may need to have a plan to get out of the neighborhood fast when the time comes. It's possible that this was a harmless prank, but your daughter is involved with people who don't attach much value to other people's lives, so you can't take that chance.
I suggest you call the police and make a report regarding your damaged property. They probably won't be able to do anything about it, but if this is the start of something, it's best to get the paper trail going at the beginning.

so do you think guys really like it when you kiss their necks?
i was with my boyfriend making out and then i moved to his neck and started kissing it. i felt his head kind of squeeze against mine while i was doing this and i didn't quite know what it meant. he seemed to be getting tense and i couldn't tell if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
right when i moved my head away from his neck he grabbed me INSTANTLY and started making out with me again, like he couldn't wait a second more. what does this mean? thanks so much.
the more answers the better! (link)
|
It means he liked it. Furthermore, it means he REALLY liked it.
Not all guys (or girls) do - my wife is terribly ticklish on the neck, and it's more irritating than sexy for her. On the other hand, I happen to really enjoy neck kisses.
Try this - next time you do this to him, pause to whisper in his ear, "Do you like that?" or, "You love that, don't you?" Then see what happens!

i just read your reply to my question about the teenagers dringing me nuts. To further explain, my 24 yr. old dau is married and living on her own,not with us, my 18 yr. old had gone to stay with her for 1 week,then dissappeared back to the street, thats where she is now,staying with different crack dealers. She stays hid well, I ride the streets looking here last at nite, I cant sleep. I had found a treatment place for her and they were going to take her today but shes gone again, she called her sister and told her she wasnt ready to be helped. Shes lost 30 lbs, nasty, same clothes, etc... this is killin me. I tried to have her committed and the magistrate wouldnt let me, she said I have to go through mental health, and they said they dont know her, So its a no win situation. Her dad is not in the picture, all my relatives are deceased, except my 82 yr. old dad.I guess I have to leave it alone? (link)
|
Regrettably, leaving it alone may be your only choice. She is, in her own words, not ready to be helped - and it's hard enough for someone to get sober and cleaned up when they want to, let alone when they don't.
All you can do at this point is tell her (the 18-yr-old) to come home when she's ready to get better, but not before. Once again, I'm not an expert or experienced in such matters, but that's how I see it.
Stop driving the streets at night looking for her; you should be at home with your youngest daughter in the middle of the night, or one day you'll be looking for her too. You need to concentrate on the people you can help. Hopefully, one day your middle daughter will be one of them, but until she's ready to accept help, all that you can give will go for nothing - until you have nothing left.
You only have so much power to help people. Save it for those who you can help. The harsh reality is that there is nothing you can do to make your 18-yr-old "see the light"; she will have to see it herself. It is true that if you let her go, she may die. But there is also nothing you can do to prevent it, except to give her a safety net that she must choose to use when the time comes.
All my best wishes. I hope I have helped.

There is this girl I know and I really really really like her, and i know she kind of likes me back, but im not sure of it. Since I've asked her to the movies like 4 or 5 times and she said she had to do something like all of the times, so this is why I don't think she likes me. How do I make her like me more, and what can I ask her to do that she might possibly do with me? (link)
|
If you ask a girl out and she says she has other things to do ONE time, then she had other things to do.
Two times means she's unsure.
Any more than that, and she's pretty much made up her mind not to go out with you.
If you're really fixated on her, you face an uphill fight. You're probably not going to be able to do anything that changes her mind. Part of the problem is that you asked her out five times; each time she says No, it buries you deeper into the bin labeled "guys I won't date". The right time to give it a rest was the third rejection.
However, there are a couple of things you can do:
(1) Consider her unavailable for the time being; she's out of the running. This will allow you to relax around her, which is always more attractive.
(2) Explore other possibilities. This has two advantages: one, you can show why she should have said Yes by treating other girls really well; and two, you may actually find someone that makes her look like yesterday's news.
(3) Give it a full year before even considering asking her out again. Start measuring that year from the first day you don't think about how much longer it will be before the year has passed. If you're counting the days, you're not distancing yourself enough.
If you don't want to try the above, there is another approach: going for broke. Basically, you tell her that you want to go out with her but that you don't want to waste your time or be a source of irritation to her if the answer is always going to be No. Then, ask her to honestly tell you whether she has any intention of ever saying Yes. You may suffer a little heartbreak if she responds negatively, but at least you'll be able to move on for good. On the other hand, if she responds positively, you have that much to go on and you can ask her about her interests, what she likes to do for fun, and that sort of thing. Then you can give her a date which is all about what she likes to do.
Unfortunately, though, I think you have your answer, and it's No. Time to move on.

I"m seriously doubting anyone can help me with my problems but here goes anyway. I have a daughter that just turned 18. She is so lost, she has given me problems since she was 11, well now shes 18 and her life consists of black men,crack and sleeping with as many as she can. She was recently disgnosed with a veneral disease and confessed to her oldest sister that she may of slept with a man who was HIV. She is a leading influence on her 13 yr. old sister who is following in her path as hard as she can. I"ve had to get the law to look the 13 yr. old twice this week. She is failing school and I can't reach her. She and her sister are so full of hate towards me, I;ve been called so many foul names, I can't take much more. I'm thinking of sending the 13 yr.old to boot camp. I tried to send my 18 yr. old last year, but they called me to come and get her because she was threating staff. I am a decent person, I dont drink, smoke, I work hard, I feel like its my fault, they are this way. I so depressed, I think it would be better to be dead sometimes, if I didnt have to keep watch on my 82 yr. old father, I saw a therapist once ,but they cost to much. what do I do? (link)

You have my sincere condolences for your situation. I really don't know if I can say anything that will help, but I will try. Please be aware that I have never faced anything remotely like what you are going through, so this advice falls under for-what-it's-worth.
As a practical matter, it's going to be hard to rein in the 18-year-old any further. She is, after all, a legal adult. All she has to do to get out from under your influence is just say she wants to be, and what you want no longer has any bearing. You can't send her to boot camp or anywhere else if she doesn't want to go.
Her younger sister is someone you can exert some influence on. I think sending her off might be the best thing you can do. She isn't likely to listen to you anyway, so if you can at least get her out from under the influence of her sister, then that's accomplishing something.
You don't mention whether your oldest is still living at home. If she is, then you do have that much influence, although she could leave anytime. What concerns me most is the idea that you could be in physical danger. People on crack aren't known for being reasonable, and if you ever suspect that your daughter may become violent with you, you need to take action immediately. You owe it to your younger child to keep yourself safe.
I suggest you give your 18-year-old an ultimatum. She must clean up her act, or take it elsewhere. In other words, shape up or ship out. She will probably choose the second option, and you will have to let her go. BUT - make it clear that it's the behavior you're throwing out, not her. If she needs a place to come back to after she's gone through the wringer, and she's willing to make a real effort to get clean and decent, be sure she knows that she still has a home.
Speaking of home, it might be time to consider changing your location. One thing I know about bad behavior in kids is that it's very difficult for them to break it when they are constantly surrounded by the bad influences that keep them there - friends, gangs, drug sources, or what have you. You indicate that you don't have much money, but see if there's ANY way you can relocate to someplace a few hundred miles away. It might save all your lives.
I don't know what kind of parent you've been; I can't say whether any of this is your fault, or if it would have happened to the best of us. However, one thing is clear, which is that something will have to change. As you are well aware, you can't go on this way, and neither can your kids.
One more thing... I feel compelled to point out that although there is something wrong with using crack and promiscuous sex, there is nothing inherently evil about black men. I'm sure that the ones she's hanging around are bad characters, but it's not because they're black; that's beside the point.

im 13.i went to 3rd.is this slutty? (link)
|
Slutty? Not necessarily - a slut, by definition, is indiscriminate and will offer sexual favors to many guys (or girls).
Bad idea? Definitely. It's my opinion that 13 is too young to do anything but kiss. Here's why:
Reputations aren't always based on all the facts. If word gets around that you gave a guy oral sex, you may be labeled a slut whether it's fair or not, and that label will stick with you all the way through school. And thirteen-year-old boys are not known for being able to keep their mouths shut about things like this.
Hopefully, the guy you did it with will be decent enough not to go around telling all his friends, who will tell their friends, until everyone knows what happened. Presumably, you wouldn't want that. You are now in a vulnerable position, and I hope you can trust the guy you did it with to show a little discretion.
Frankly, I'd be worried if I were you. It doesn't take much to start rumors, and rumors escalate. Remember that next time you feel tempted to go for third.

The other day my best guy friend told me he was going to ask me out over winter break sometime because he liked me alot. He didn't say why he didn't ask me out, or if he still liked me, he changed the subject.
I don't know, I honestly wish he had asked me out, because I still like him to this day. Winter break was around dec 15-jan 2nd for us. Is there anyway I could get him to start liking me again? What are some things I could do like, to want to be with me? Thank you! (link)
|
He told you he was going to do something, and didn't follow through. You should ask him why. Maybe he has a good reason, maybe he just forgot. Maybe he got cold feet. Whatever the reason, you are owed an explanation.
You should let him know that you were looking forward to it and that you were disappointed. He should make it up to you somehow - a good way would be to take you on a better date than he might have originally planned (if it was going to be dinner, now it's dinner and a movie).
Until he makes up for his little slip, you shouldn't do anything special to try and attract him. He owes you, not the other way around.

Ever since I was little I've wanted to model. Being in front of a camera and having all the attention is what I love. The problem is, I have no idea how to get started. Does anyone know someone I could talk to or any website I could go to? Thanks a lot =]
P.S. I live in New York if that helps. (link)
|
You're living in exactly the right AND the wrong place. It's the right place because New York is Model Central - it's THE place to be for modeling, photography, and fashion. It's the wrong place because you will encounter fierce competition, scam artists, and the seedy side of modeling.
First, consider your age. If you're under 18, then no legitimate photographer will work with you without your parents' consent (anyone who does say they can work with you behind their back... turn around and run like hell).
You'll need a portfolio. This is expensive and this is where most of the scam artists hang out, because by definition you don't have much experience and you will be easier to fool than a seasoned model. Don't just pick someone at random out of the yellow pages; choose a photographer only after having done some research. Check his references and make sure his prices are comparable to other photographers. You can count on spending from $400 to well over $1000 for a quality portfolio.
You may or may not need classes, but at least visit the library and pick up some books on modeling. There are all kinds of things you need to know - how to walk, how to turn your head, how to smile. You'll also need to know some of the technical and artistic details of photography, so that you will be able to communicate intelligently with the photographer while on shoots. You may even find an aptitude for the other side of the camera, and it doesn't hurt to be flexible!
The key thing is that whatever you get involved in, check it thoroughly for legitimacy. Any honest photographer or agent will be pleased and proud to have you check out their references. Read contracts before you sign them and make sure you're getting paid the proper amount for your work. It might be best to start with a large modeling agency, just so you can learn these details without worrying too much about getting burned.
Don't pose nude (and if you're under 18 and someone asks you to do it, report them to the police). No matter what anyone tells you, you don't need to do that, and it may end your career instead of boosting it.
Finally, make sure you have a backup plan. Modeling is an extremely difficult way to make a living, and it's virtually guaranteed that you'll need a day job. You might consider work in photography or fashion, which will keep you close to the action where you want to be.
I can't answer the specifics of your question (someone to talk to or a website) because although I am a professional photographer, I'm not in the modeling field; my specialty is event photography, weddings, and portraits. I'm sure that you can find some promising things with just a little Googling, however.
Good luck - you're going to need it! But congratulations for daring to dream.

17/f.
So one of my best best guy friends and I had sex last month, (my first time) and ever since then he and I have been acting the same-platonic. we hang out all the time and I talk to him at least once a day. We're really good friends and I love spending time with him. But ever since we slept together we haven't even mentioned it. We kind of avoid the subject.
Here's my problem; I really want to be friends with benefits with him and have sex again. So how can I kind of hint to him that I'm "in need of attention" or something without seeming like all I want is sex? I'm almost ready to just attack him! lol. Please help. Thanks in advance! (link)
|
You need to stop avoiding the subject, for one thing. It's important that you talk about your feelings, and how they may have changed. If you've had a platonic friendship up until now, I expect that what's happened between you has messed with his head some; he might have discovered new feelings about you. He might be worried that you will feel that all HE wants is sex.
What you shouldn't do is just launch into sex again without having talked about your feelings, together. It's not something to just sweep under the rug like no big deal; it IS a big deal.
You may view him as a friend, but did it occur to you that he may have always wanted something more - and now that he's had it in a physical way, he may not know how to approach you and seek emotional intimacy as well?
The two of you need a quiet couple of hours alone - with clothes on - to figure out how your relationship has changed. Maybe you're "Best Friends with Benefits". Maybe it was a one-time thing. Maybe he's fallen in love. You'll never know until you have an honest, open conversation.

ok there is this guy i really really like but im not sure if he likes me he is sooo funny and cute but there are other people that like him to but he doesnt even give them the time of day so i started talking to him on myspace but he never answers back every time i see him or talk to him i get butterflies in my stomach im not the prettiest girl in the bunch but im definately not ugly people tell me im pretty but i dont think i really am so i was wondering what i could do to make him notice me more i would also like to know from guys wat they look for in a girl PLEASE
HELP!! by the way im 13 and female (link)
|
To be honest, this guy doesn't seem interested in noticing anyone at the moment. It may be in part because, as you say, there are a lot of interested girls and he doesn't particularly NEED to "pick one", so to speak. It may also be that (assuming he's the same age as you) he's too young to be seriously interested in dating or romance; remember, girls tend to mature faster. Or he might have no idea the effect he has on you or anyone else - guys can be astoundingly clueless sometimes.
You tried talking to him on Myspace, and he didn't reply. That doesn't mean he DOESN'T like you, but it's hardly encouraging. I don't know what else you've tried, but if you're not getting anywhere no matter what you do, you might just have to give up on this one guy.
If you want to know how to be attractive to guys in general, it's hard to know what to tell you, because guys are all different. There is no one answer. The best thing I can tell you is to pick what you would LIKE them to find attractive about you and do your best to become that, because inevitably some of the guys will like it. There's no point in making yourself be something you're essentially not in order to attract a guy, because in time you'll get tired of pretending or he'll see right through it, and it will all be over anyway.
Don't get too stuck on one guy right now. You'll be amazed at what happens to the boys over the next year or so. All of a sudden, you'll see all kinds of possibilities, and you'll chuckle over how cute you once found ol' whats-his-name.

I had sex for the first time yesterday. And now I'm really happy. And yesterday night I was with my boyfriend afterwords and I didn't want to let go and I kept telling him I love him.
1. Do you think thats a result of having sex with him? 2. Do you think he hates it and thinks its annoying?
Totally off topic but..
3. Does sex stop hurting after awhile?
4. How protective are condoms?(from pregnency)
5. Where would I get birth control from?
6. And can I get it without my parents? (link)
|
It's wonderful that your first time was so enjoyable to you, and inspired such feelings. And it's not surprising; sex releases all kinds of hormones and endorphins into your system, and that combined with the intimacy and physical contact with your boyfriend is naturally going to bring all those good, loving feelings to the surface. It's one of the reasons people enjoy sex.
Now, to answer your questions...
(1) Yes. And there's nothing wrong with that, because the sex didn't cause those feelings, it just brought them to the surface with more force than usual.
(2) If you kept telling him over and over for hours and refused to let him go even when he had to use the restroom, then you were probably annoying him. But even if he was a little annoyed by it, he was probably also very pleased that he made you feel so good, that you love him so much, and he was probably feeling similarly. After a while, you will be able to feel such things but be a little less "clingy" about it. Since this was your first time and it was great, you were a more than a little overwhelmed. I'm sure he'll forgive you. :)
(3) Yes. The first time, unfortunately, is painful for women. After a while, you will be able to relax more and it will hurt less, until it doesn't hurt at all. (note - if it does continue to hurt after a dozen times or so, see a doctor. Actually, you should see a gynecologist anyway now that you're sexually active.)
(4) Condoms, when used properly, are around 99% effective. Common problems with them include: using expired condoms, trying to put it on the wrong way and then flipping it over instead of discarding it, failing to put it on soon enough (there should be NO contact from penis to vagina until it's covered!), and contact after it's been removed. In other words, practically the only times they fail are due to people making mistakes.
(5) If you're talking about pills, you'll need a prescription. That requires a doctor's visit. If you need condoms, you can buy them in any grocery store or pharmacy. Make sure you have them whenever you think you might have sex - don't depend on your boyfriend to supply them.
(6) Again, assuming you're talking about the Pill, I don't know the answer to that one. Consult Planned Parenthood. However, it's not a good idea to take prescription medication without your parents' knowledge. They may be in a position to make a medical decision for you someday, and as such they need to know what you're taking. It's also a hard thing to hide for long, since you do have to take them every day and every parent knows what they look like. I imagine you're hiding from your parents the fact that you're having sex; don't create other things to hide from them too. Finally, the Pill is just not as effective as condoms (it's more like 95%) so you run the risk of pregnancy even with them.
One more thing: if you're under 16, you are too young, not only emotionally but legally (your boyfriend could be charged with statutory rape even if you were totally willing).

Im in grade eight and well you know how everyone is like "being yourself is the best way to be" or whatever? well... i think i may be, like, too much myself or something. Because i just wear what i think is comfortable and stuff, and i try to act how i really am, but then i think- if im TRYING to act who i really am, doesnt that defeat the point in the first place? trying to be something? Well im sorry if you dont understand. but at the beginning of the year i just decided to not worry at ALL what people thought and it would help me make more friends. But all it has seemed to do is make people mean to me and stuff. I know i shouldnt worry about that kind of stuff but I just do. So im just wondering can you be TOO laid back and "yourself" at school and stuff? (link)

"Being Yourself" isn't the same as making no effort to do anything. You must define what you want "yourself" to be, and pursue that. Think of what sort of person you want to be, and become that person.
What you don't want to do is pretend to be someone you're not in order to get something that seems like a good thing - for instance, it's not a good idea to pretend to be fascinated with football in order to attract the star quarterback.
As far as worrying about what other people think, sometimes that's a good thing. For instance, if your doctor thinks you're overweight, it would probably be a good idea to worry about that and take steps to change it. A wise person is one who makes good decisions about whose opinion to hold in value, and who you should blow off as unimportant.
It's not as easy as saying, "I don't care what anyone thinks." Sometimes you SHOULD care. If everyone you know is being mean and nasty to you, then in some way you're probably bringing it on yourself and need to re-evaluate your behavior (as you are obviously doing, or you wouldn't be asking this question). The difficult part is learning when to care and when not to. What it boils down to is that you have to use your head and your instincts, evaluate people's character, and figure out who's worth listening to and who isn't.
The only absolute rule I can think of in dealing with people is the one that Shakespeare told us: "This above all things - to thine own self be true." (Hamlet, act I, scene 3). Think about what that means, because it's what "being yourself" is all about.

I took an IQ test a few minutes ago over the internet and my score was 125. I realize this is pretty good, but would it be more accurate (and higher) if I was 18+ ? I am only 15. (link)

It would be more accurate if it wasn't something you found on the internet. "IQ tests" on the internet are similar to crossword puzzles and other pencil games; if you can do them well, you show a certain amount of aptitude, but these things aren't a practical method of demonstrating your overall intelligence. If you want to get a meaningful number on that (assuming such a thing exists), then you need to take a series of tests, covering many methods of thinking and perceiving, and then have an expert interpret the results.
The last time I took such a test, it was a four-hour process. Somehow, I doubt that your internet quiz was more than twenty questions that you probably whipped out in a few minutes. It's just not comprehensive enough.

does anybody know how to download photoshop on limewire? thanks ( : (link)

It's very unlikely you will be able to get a working copy of Photoshop from limewire or any similar service. Photoshop is a very expensive, popular product, and as such it is difficult to hack. You'll have a very hard time finding it available for download, and even if you do, I'd say you've got a 50-50 chance of getting a free virus along with it.
Try using the GIMP instead. It's a free image-manipulation program, not as powerful as Photoshop but good enough for anyone who's not a professional.

Hi. I'm online and looking up useless career options. I'm getting nowhere and I'm tired. Should I go to bed? I want you (later). (link)

It's so nice to be wanted. Yes, you should definitely go to bed. And don't go alone.
