Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.

Would you like to converse? Here's my Forum

Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

im a freshmen. i have a lot of friends, but only like 2 that are true friends. the problem is all my friends are like changing and stuff. some of them are becoming big druggies, some have become huge sluts and whores. i dont want to stop talking to them or something, i just want to make more, better friends. its not only that there slutty or druggies, its that they sometimes ditch me and my other friends to go do that stuff, and then tell people they barely know about it but completely lie about it to us. ive talked to them and they know i dont like it, but there not going to change for me or anything. its hard to find a new true friend all of a sudden i know, but how do i atleast meet more people, with 2nd semester coming up? besides talking to them and introducing myself and stuff..please and thanks!

A lot of my friends were made through other friends. For example, my friends Katelyn and Allie met our friend Eric. He ate lunch with us one day and I decided he's be one of my best friends ever. It really was as simple as that.

I know few people that hang out with a group of friends that only hang out with each other, and are totally exclusive.

You and one of your friends could go somewhere, and each of you could bring a person that the other person doesn't know well. This way, you both expand your friendship circle by a person.

On your ipod when you make playlists with song that are already on you ipod it doesnt take up more space.. like i still only have 1 of each song on my ipod directory but if i take the song and put it in the playlist it doesnt take up more room right??
thanks in advanced

Right. All of the songs are on your iPod once (unless you've bought it twice, for some reason) regardless of how many times they appear.

my family wants to move, weve been in the same house about 11 or 12 years, and we just want a change. i always was against it because i didnt want to leave my friends and school, my brother didnt really care it seemed, and my parents decided not to move because of our education and stuff. but i honestly dont like any of my friends anymore except like 2, so we are getting the house ready hopefully to try to sell by next summer. i know of a lot of my friends who have moved and changed schools and loved it way more. also my mom and sister changed schools in high school and it was better for them. however i know of 2 of my guy friends that hate it at there new schools and dont have many friends. as long as i talk to people and try to meet people and stuff, i will most likely make friends right? i know nobody can predict if im going to make friends, but i mean like, from any personal experience, is that the best way to make good new friends? and how do i stay out of the wrong crowd (aka smokers..etc)? i want to basically start over and pick the right people to be friends with, because my decision where i live now, was not that great. obviously you can tell, ive never been the new kid ever. ive gone to the same elementary, middle, and high school that everyone follows. so i would appreciate your help a lot. i dont want to move hoping it will be a great change, to just be let down and stuck with it. thank you so much =] by the way im a freshmen if that helps any!

That's so cool that you have the guts to just move. I don't. :)

Joining clubs and talking to people are hands-down the best ways to meet people.

Just don't hang out with stoners if you don't want to. I'm friends with those types of people, but I'm never around them when hey are hiigh, drunk, or in the process of becoming high or drunk.

Good luck!!

Hello, I live in Canada (British Columbia) and I would like to become a primary teacher. I was wondering what type of post secondary education I need and where I can get it. My school is lousy with career information, so any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

You don't say whether or not you'd like to stay in Canada.

To become certified in the States, you just need a credential. This is integrated with most college Education majors.

I'm afraid I have no information on Canada (maybe becuase I live in the states, heh), but I suggest Google:

I want to do the same thing here. I wish you the best of luck!

So here's the scenerio, I got a set of proactive skin care for christmas and started using it that morning. It was working really well and my skin was looking better...

But.. the day after Christmas I left for a snowboarding trip with some friends. Now, I've heard from several sources that Proactive dries out your skin a BUNCH when you first start it, but it was only a day or so after we'd gotten there (and me continuing to use the proactive twice a day, once in the morning and night) that my skin got so dry it started to flake.

I used it once or twice more and then stopped, thinking it was just making my skin worse and worse. So I just started putting moisturizer on my face, hoping to repair it. It's been a week and my skin is still kind of flakey and dry and I don't know how to fix it or if I should start up my proactive again.

I'm also wondering if it was just the proactive that caused this intense reaction of my skin. I'm guessing that it might have been a mixture of the intensely dry air in our cabin from a fire, and the intense cold, plus the proactive..

And as an added bonus, my skin started to break out again today with zits. Should I start the proactive back up? Or should I wait for my face to completely heal again and then start it back up? And how do I heal it effectively? Has anyone else had this happen to them, and what's your experience with proactive skin products? :/

If you need more detail just indicate so and I'll send you another message in your inbox. :] Thank you!

-Sarah

It was a combination of the two. Your question implied that you do not live in such a climate, so I'd assume you'd start the ProActive up again.

I've never used PorActive, but I've heard that your skin will be bad once you stop using it. This could be just a myth, but it is worth considering.

Also, on a side note, thank you so much for typing so well and using such nice grammar. :)

i wasnt wondering how you got the pictures on your layout for advicenators like the flamingos thing.

I inserted the link in the Sidebar image box on this site: http://www.advicenators.com/style.php. :)

It's cute, huh? I

normally i totally love my bf, but sumtimes (okay, like once a day) he says sumthing and totally gets on my nerves, and i dont like him @ all
but i cant break up with him, bcz i like him the other part of the day! wat do i odo?

Someone asked this questoin earlier today.

You have hormones. You can't type correctly. Your lust for him will fluctuate.

Alright, I know most teenage boys have looked at/look at porn. I'm pretty positive, considering the fact he just got all these pay channels in his bedroom, that my boyfriend does. Will it ever get to the point where he is more attracted to the girls on the screen than he is me? And if that happens, is breaking up the only thing to do?

I know I'm nowheres near looking like any of those girls you'd see online.

On Exposed on MTV, a girl asked two guys this question: "Would you ever have sex with a stripper?" Both truthfully (it was run through a lie detector) said no.

It's totally two different catagories of women to them, I think.

i saw dis shoe onlyne && IM IN LUV WID IT!! its a white air force one shoe wid a heel on da back..has anyone seen these before? do you kno where i can get a pair? thxx =] xO

I'm a moderator, and from experience, I can tell you that no one will answer you because of how poorly you have typed. Please delete this question, retype it correctly, and resubmit it.

Here: I''ll even retype it for you.

I saw these shoes online, and I really like them. They are white Air Force I shoes with a heel on the back. Have any of you seen these before? Do you have any idea where I could get a pair? Thanks for your help!

I recently washed my new 100% merino wool sweater and it shrunk considerably. It said to hand wash cold, reshape and lay out to dry. I put it in my washing machine (I have an HE front loading washer) on handwash cold and then in the dryer at the "no heat" selection. My question is, does wool actually shrink or will it reshape after another wash (I hand washed it and layed it out after I found out it shrunk).

Thanks

You shouldn't have put it in the dryer. It isn't going back to how it was. Washing it again will only be more detrimental.

Are there ways that you can get rid of a double chin? (ie, any excercise)

You need to lose weight in general. Then it will come off, just as if it were elsewhere on your body.

last night my boyfriend and i had sex he came inside me. i just finished my period the night before and yesterday i started birth control for the first time ... is there a chance i could get pregnant?

Yes. Go immediately to Planned Parenthood and get Emergency Contraceptive.

my ipod nano is brand new i havent even had it for a week and it is frozen what can i do to reset it?

Go to the Apple store. If they can't fix it, they'll give you a new one.

ok....so i wanna quit cheerleading! how do i tell my coach..i want to quit because im getting a job soon..and i wanna work on my school work (because my grades are dippn)...also what do i have to give her??(besides my uniform)

Say, "I'm leaving the squad. You've been a good coach, and this is fun, but my priorities have changed."

Why would you have to give her anything? Your uniform is yours, why would you give it up?

Personally, I think that it is selfish of you to quit in the middle of the year. You signed up for this, and you should finish out the year.

Okay I've seen a couple recent questions on splits but I have one more thing I need to know. My splits are about 5 inches on my right leg and probably 7 on my left leg from the ground. If I stretch everyday how long could it take to get my splits? I need them by approx late April/early May for my studio's show. Is it possible? Okay thanks!

You mean you've asked a couple recent questions on splits.

Stop.

Yes. As I said in my last answer to this question. You'll get them if you practice daily.

there is this guy and he is my boyfriend and sometimes i love him and sometimes i dont like today i dident like him and like yesterday i fell in love with him i like him alot but sometimes i do and i cry over this what should i do

You don't love him. Love doens't fluctuate like that.

You're a teenager; you have hormones. Enough said.

16/f
1) is it true that when you have sex for the 1st time, you often miss your period?
2) how long into pregnancy is it when you have to pee every half hour?
3) how long could a "fake pregnancy" last? and how could you stop it?
4) i also feel funny when i pee, almost like it hurts.. is that normal for pregnancy?

Please ask four separate questions next time!!

1) Not just from sex alone. If you are stressed or your diet cahnges, your period could be delayed or missing, but from intercourse alone, no.

2) Every body is different. I'm guessing oncce you start to show, but my guess is as good as a monkey's. peeing every half hour could be a number of other things.

3) Until you have your period. Emergency contraceptive in the first 72 hours wil make you have your period.

4) Again, it could be a number of other things, a yeast infection or a UTI among them.

I'd recommend a visit to a gyno fter taking two home pregnancy tests.

Hi, Im 15 I was thinking I would wear a mini jean skirt, brown leggings, brown uggs, a redish low cute shirt with a pink tank top under the shirt. I would wear this to school. Do you think this sounds ok to wear or is it to weird. If you think its weird can you give me advice on how to make it look cool.

Ew. PLEASE don't wear boots and leggings if youu can see skin between the boots and leggings. That is my pet peeve!

Don't wear the red shirt-red and pink look weird together, and pink and brown look beter together than red and brown.

But wear what you want. We aren't at your school to see what the trends are. Here in Los Angeles, eeryone is really on top of fashion and uber trendy, but the outfit that you mentioned might fit in perfectly where you live.

for my new years resolution, i want to be a vegitarian (not eating meat/fish, ill still do dairy/eggs).

is there anything important (health wise..or any other wise) i need to know before i begin?

You have vegetarian and vegan confused, I think.

A vegan does not eat any animal products, and a vegetarian just does not eat meat. All vegetarians eat dairy and eggs (I can't vouch for all of us, but we're supposed to).

Regardless, you need to make sure you are getting enough protein.

i love all of the clothes that both Hannah and Lily wear on the Disney show Hannah Montana. Does anybody know where i can buy the clothes that they wear on the show?

thanks :]

Those exact clothes?

Soon after the series ends, they'll be at It's a Wrap here in Burbank, CA.
