I went to my first school dance tonight (I'm thirteen) and I HATED every minute. I felt ugly and worthless because I didn't dance for the entire time. If you didn't have a date, it was pointless being there. Everyone else was slow dancing with their girlfriend/boyfriend and I just watched. I was really mad because my crush was dancing with the most popular girl in school. I just called my mom to come pick me up. I just cried for an hour when I got home. I hate Valentine's Day too, because I've never gotten a valentine before. I was never invited to birthday parties either. Should I just give up on my social life? (link)

The answer below makes some good points... I just wanted to add a thing or two:
Basically, when people are in a relationship they keep all the bad things to themselves... so you only get to see the happy parts at the dance.
If you could see the repeated broken hearts they are suffering as they go from one relationship to the next just because they want to have someone around to buy them things on valentine's day... you wouldn't be in the same hurry.
At 13, true love is something that doesn't usually happen. Most of the time it is people fumbling through one stupid mistake of a relationship after another.
It may look like they are having fun, but in reality when you are all 21... YOU will be the one who doesn't have the great mountain of damage and emotional baggage that they do.
When you DO find the one person who is right for you, you will not have wasted your time and your heart on people who, in the end, only hurt you.
Because you will be free of that, you will be able to offer yourself wholly to your mate, and they won't have to deal with the baggage from your past relationships.
Hopefully you can also find someone who actually stayed a kid as long as possible also.
I can promise you one thing from experience:
When you get older... you WILL look back on your 13 year old self and marvel at how incredibly stupid you were.
Nothing that matters to you now will even register as important when you are in your 20s. You will probably be embarrassed to tell anyone you know what music you listened to at 13, who you had a crush on, etc.
One last tip:
They say that your brain isn't fully developed until some time into your 20s.
Here is your tip: You need as much brain development as possible to make any decent relationship possible.
Ok, ok... this really is the last tip:
As for the rest of socializing, it is important to figure out who you are. What are you interested in? What are you going to do for a living?
Find clubs and hobbies that you are interested in and get involved! If you are around people who like the same things you like, you will be shocked at how much easier it is to make lasting friendships. :-)
Ohm and as for dances... it is ok to go with a friend. For example: If you happen to get into a club at school, you can ask one of your male friends if they would like to go.
If you worry about figuring out who you are before you complicate your life by sharing it with somebody else... then you will have a better chance at a lasting relationship.
Don't give up. Just change your tactics and you will do much better.

Im 13 and my parents wont let me have a cell phone. They say its just because ill lose it. Is that completely unfair or completely fair? (link)
|
Hi there,
That is neither completely fair or not fair.
It comes down to what you can pay for yourself. If you get a job and pay your own bill, then they are more likely to agree, since you said the reason is because they are afraid you will lose it.
Truth of the matter is: You probably will lose the phone. Probably more than one. I know you don't think you will, but it will happen just the same.
Talk to your parents and see what they think about the idea if you agree to pay for it yourself. This way, when you lose it it doesn't cost them anything extra. See why that would make sense to them? :-)

Okay, I'm just going to start off by saying that this will be a little long so please bear with me :) Oh and this might seem totally materialistic and shallow but I can't help it, its really a problem for me.
I'm 14 and I'm seriously depressed. Here's the problem: I'm poor.. Not 'can't eat three meals a day' poor. Just 'can't afford a car' poor. Like middle class. Not that I care much about these things but everyone at my school does. My dad gets like a very normal salary but that's not enough so my mom has to work too. Together they put enough money for me to go this really good school. The thing is, the school fee is REALLY high, for people like me I mean. So only rich kids go there. So my parents own like this little apartment where we live, and they can buy me fancy clothes and stuff (not branded but not that its a problem) and we can eat out once in a while. But we just can't afford a car. And that's why I have no friends at school. Everyone there is rich, and has a car. I'm not and I can't afford one. So all my classmates are really mean to me. They don't talk much about money but that's why they don't like me. Shallow, I know, but what can I do? The guys totally ignore me and when they talk they're really mean. The girls act like they're my friends but they bitch about me all the time and they only call me when they need something done. I try so hard to fit in but I'm afraid I never will.. I can't become rich just to get friends. That wouldn't be real friendship. Is money all that matters? If so, will I always be alone in life? I'm sure I'll never ever get a boyfriend but I reaally want a friend :( And since I'm focusing so much on this my grades are dropping.. I used to top the class but now these mean girls do. I'm afraid I'm letting my parents down now too.. what do I do? Please don't make rude comments, reply to me only if you really want to help. Thanks in advance :) (link)

If you don't mind, I would like to cut right to the heart of the matter:
Money comes and money goes. Even if you were rich today, you may not be in the same position a year from now.
So, with that in mind: Do you want friends who actually like you, or only what they can GET from you?
Would you be stupid enough to accept a boyfriend who only cared about what brands you wore?
The long and short of this, and this is from a good amount of experience on both sides of this issue:
Every place you go, you will meet people who only care about money, brands and sparkly things.
You will also find people who don't care about these things.
Just wait until you get to college! Boy what a change that is going to be. You are going to have anti-establishment hipsters and people who have already have 23 plastic surgery operations at the age of 21... in an effort to be something that doesn't exist in real life... only in the airbrushed world on magazine covers.
Stop trying to fit in with spoiled rich kids, and start growing your own personality.
When you do find someone who you like, and likes you back... what are you going to do when they find out you are a fraud or rather a fake who is just trying to be something she isn't?
Then you will lose that person because you weren't being yourself.
If you take the time that they spend talking about money and looking down on other people and you study with that time, you will be the one who does best in life.
One more thing: Your parents are sending you to this school. I suggest you say thank you to them. Always remember: If they didn't love you enough to have you, raise you and pay for your schooling... they could afford that car.
They chose your future over that car. Time for you to wake up and realize how lucky you are to have parents who aren't selfish.
I wish you the very best.

First off I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 22, we have been together for 5 years. Me and my boyfriend usually do the webcam chat websites just because its fun. We both do it seperatly and together. Last night I was talking to a guy and that's fine with my boyfriend. My only problem is that I gave the guy my number and we face chatted. That was ok to but apparently my boyfriend was awake and saw everything. He then asked me what I was doing and I stupidly said I wasn't talking to anyone. I don't know why I lied because he is fine with me talking to guys online. Now he's hurt because I lied and I don't know what to do to make it better. I feel horrible for lying and is not like me to lie to him. I never do, I am one of those people that have to tell their boyfriend everything because I have really bad guilt...what can I do to try and make it up to him? (link)
|
Hi there,
Trust is a funny thing in the way that once it is damaged it is never quite the same.
I have been the guy in this situation, except the person either wouldn't come clean and denied all wrongdoing or I had to literally prove she was lying, and then she would admit it. Kind of pointless then, isn't it? :-(
You are halfway there I think. At this point, you MUST level with him if you want to keep this relationship. You should tell him what you told us here, and you should do it soon.
Once you come clean, there is one thing that you have to deal with to make this better for both your boyfriend and yourself:
Figure out why you lied.
I know you said you don't know... but there is a reason, and no sane guy is going to accept that answer from a potential cheater (which is how you look to him right now) who gave her number to another guy.
Maybe you aren't happy in your relationship and you want a change, but aren't brave enough to make that change? Maybe you are one of those women who automatically destroys every good relationship she is in because of her own insecurities or feelings of self loathing?
No way for anyone on this end to help you with that.
If you legitimately can't figure out why you did this, or you aren't willing to be honest with yourself about it, then it is time to seek counseling to help you work through your own feelings.
It is hard to be in a healthy relationship if you aren't healthy yourself.
Remember: The only chance you have to fix this is to tell the real truth.
He isn't stupid. He knows you are giving your number out to other guys. That only means a few things:
You don't love him.
You don't want to be with him anymore for some other reason.
... or?
Whatever your reason, he deserves to know right away so that he can decide if he wants to risk being in a relationship with you anymore.
I wish you the best in figuring this out and being honest with both him and yourself.
Good luck!
P.S. May I suggest no more video chatting until you figure out why you did this?

My vagina smells disgusting. I'm clean, I shower everyday but it seems like an hour after I shower the smell just comes right back and its really strong i can smell it through my pants and it leaves my pants smelling gross and I can smell it throughout the day and it makes me feel so self-conscious. I know vaginas aren't supposed to smell like roses but mine is just out of control. I know there's douching but I heard that causes infections. Is there anything I can do? (link)
|
Hi there,
Before you start with the vinegar and all that, please talk to your gynecologist about this.
If you have bacterial vaginosis, then you aren't going to want to try and deal with this with having it looked at first.
BV can be treated, but it is nothing you should try to do without professional guidance.
One last thought as far as how long you should wait to make an appointment:
You are pretty much immune to your own body scents. This means that if YOU can smell it, and it is overpowering, then others are most likely aware of the issue.
Make an appointment today, and get your normal scent back ASAP. :-)

This girl in my high school (Who nobody likes because she's a complusive liar), had her pictures taken and somebody was pretending to be her on Tumblr.
Like they used pictures of her face, but with a completely different name, age, life story, etc.
Well she freaks out and she was telling everybody how she was on the phone with the police for 3 hours with the police until 2am the night before because of it.
And I was thinking, "Really?"
Like, can you even get in trouble for that? I can see somebody getting in trouble for using the same name and stuff, but really?
Seems a little over-the-top when you can easily report the account with a proof picture and get in deleted.
Btw, she's not lieing about the fake profile because a bunch of people saw it, including myself. (link)
|
People have posted fake profiles on Advicenators and we have complied with orders from law enforcement to help resolve the situations.
The police will get involved. If you have a particularly passionate police officer, or a passionate parent then this can quickly become a serious legal nightmare to be in the middle of.
Was she exaggerating the 3 hours? Probably. Does it matter? Nope. If she has filed a complaint, they are obligated to follow up on it. Doesn't matter if it was 10 minutes or 3 hours.
Some states seem to have included parts of this in their new anti-bullying laws. In those cases, this is believable.

I would like to spend about $300 on a new computer. I was thinking about getting the Dell Inspiron 560 or 570 (if there is a major difference for what I need please let me know) and I was wondering if it a good buy and if it comes with Microsoft Word. I am basically just going to be using the computer to type files, go on youtube, watch some movies on line, face book and basic surfing. I am not addicted to dell so if you have something better please share but I really don't want to spend much more than $300 (which is why I am going with dell) Thank you. (link)
|
You have to remember that when Dell advertises a cheap PC... they are just getting you in the door. After they get you started they will upsell you just about everything if you let them.
Suddenly your $299 PC isn't $299 anymore.
If you are going to stick to your guns and buy exactly what is offered, then the 560 would be the one I would choose.
Do NOT accidentally choose the $279 version of the 560 which has half the memory and a smaller hard drive.
Comparing the $299 560 and 570 versions if really easy:
The 560 has a faster processor, double the memory and a much larger hard drive.
For $300, it is a decent machine.
It does come with a stripped down, ad supported version of Microsoft Word.
If you want a full edition of Microsoft office, then you will have to add between $119 and $349 at the time of purchase, depending on which version you want.
If you decide to go with Dell, be careful of the upsell. Only get what you are SURE you need.
Here is a link to the page for the various versions of the 560:
http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-560/fs
... you would probably be wanting the middle one which is currently $299.
If you go through the order process, and you click all the upsells that "Dell recommends" then the price of your computer goes from $299 to $1,187.92... and that doesn't even include a monitor.
Like I said, you CAN buy a $299 computer from Dell, but if you are the person who goes to the car dealership and ends up buying all the options because they talked you into them... it would be best to have someone else do the ordering with you. If not, then order yourself and enjoy your new computer. :-)

My upper farthest back tooth is infected really bad and my dentist says I have to either do a root canal or get it pulled out. My insurance isn't that great and I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on it. I'd have to put it all on credit cards. Just trying to get some peoples opinions! What should I do?! (link)
|
Hi there,
If it were me, I would have it extracted. There is a great deal of controversy over the safety of root canals these days. Check this out:
http://curezone.com/dental/root_canal.asp
... before you decide what to do.
If you do opt for extraction, please remember to ask your dentist to remove all leftover tissue so you can avoid dental cavitation problems. That is basically where they leave parts of the surrounding tissue in place, which then confuses the jawbone into refusing to heal the hole left by the removal of the tooth.
I am very sorry you have had this situation, and I hope you are able to get it taken care of as soon as possible.
For more info:
A little research now may save you some heartache down the road. I speak from experience.

No you don't understand, you can spend as much money as you wish on trying to get those items, but chances are you won't get them. They give out certain pieces throughout many other states. Your an idiot. I am old enough to use this website. I am 28 years old, therefore the more you speak the more of an idiot your really making yourself. GROW THE FUCK UP.
Fucking dumbass. (link)
|
Some people refuse to learn, or admit when they are mistaken about something.
The common pieces are given out across all states.
I am sorry, that you wouldn't be reasonable about this.
Goodbye.

k so i asked a similar question earlier but i dont think my question was understood basically im 18 and a first year college student i got a job at a fast food resturant now i live 3 hours away from my family because of school so i dont live at home i live on my own which is why i got a job to pay for things on my own now i got trained 3 days at work and then the following weekend i was suppose to go home to see my parents for the long weekend now when i got the job i told my boss immediately that i would need the long weekend off and he said it was fine and that i would do my training and then once i got back from my parents house he would call me and tell me my work schedule but that never happened ive been back for a week now and i havent gotten a call from him so am i fired or what do i call him? this is my first job and i need help. (link)
|
Hi there,
Not really sure what you didn't understand about the two other answers you received.
It is your responsibility to know your schedule. If you don't know when you are supposed to work, you call and find out. It is always that way.
If he got busy and forgot to call you, he called and your line was busy... or whatever; it is ALWAYS your responsibility to be there when you are scheduled.
Don't know your schedule? Go in and get it.
They might excuse this once, but don't expect them to let this slide again.
Good luck at your new job.

helpp. so theres this guy i met at the end of last year from school. we started talking on facebook mostly and only a little at school since were shy. we talked alot online and i found out hes soo sweet and said really nice things and we went on a date once but i went on vacation the whole summer and now its a new year at school but he hasnt said a word to me yet and all he does is look at me. also whenever i send a message to him online he just logs out and doesnt write back. i cant believe it since he said such sweet things last year and he really seemed to care about me alot! what goes on in a boys mind?? PLEASE HELP!! (link)
|
Hi there,
Is it possible he has a new person in his life now?
Not sure if I am understanding you correctly: You went away for the entire summer and didn't contact him at all... and now you are wondering why he might not be interested in talking to a girl who goes on one date then stops talking to him for three months?
Is that about it?
If so, he probably took your silence as hatred for him. Why would he talk to you after that?
If not, and you guys talked every day while you were gone, but when he got back to school he wasn't interested in being with you... then I don't know. The only way to find out is to get him to tell you.
Rather than trying to talk to him on-line, try talking to him in person.

Self explainatory, I am a newbie here. Wondering why I can see my answers on my column page, but not on the actual webpage for the question. Anyone have an answer to that? Thanks! (link)
|
Hi there,
I looked through your answers and didn't see any instance of this.
Would you be so kind as to link me to one that it definitely happens on every time?
Thank you.

because of my belly button fetish i force my innie out because of the pleasure,if i get a syringe,could i put it through the middle.i have already been right through anyway,would i have to fill it with water.i do not know how to do it that waynor does my husband, he loves it also. (link)
|
I am not a doctor, but it seems like the potential for infection with what you are talking about would be very likely.
Please consult a doctor before going any further down this road. You could die from this. Please seek the opinion of a medical professional right away.

I wasn't doing a scam, and I am aware of the chances of others getting it.
People who are disabled, aren't the only ones who "fall" for this "scam" your accusing me of.
In fact, my bestfriend from California, won the $50,000; she asked this man who was 34, living in New York to divide the winnings who had her missing piece. He isn't disabled. He's actually a Labor and Delivery Nurse, so your "Advice" or your "thoughts" are incorrect.
They equally got their half of the deal. Not all people are as low and pathetic as you make them out to be. Haha! (link)
|
Hi there,
You may make up as many mythical people as you wish in order to justify your post. As for accusing you, I gave you an out. You either don't understand basic math, or you are running a scam.
Take your choice, but one of these things is true.
Why would someone split $50,000, when all they have to do to get a common piece is spend between $5 and $20 on food?
If you don't see the problem with this, then I would question if you are old enough to use this site.
"Not all people are as low and pathetic as you make them out to be."
... I didn't make all people out to be anything; just the ones that post on advicenators, trying to run a scam that is now about 30 years old.
Think about this:
"Hi,
I'm from Tennesse, and I have every piece but of course the main ones;"
Two questions:
1) Did you have to spend $500,000 to get those pieces?
2) Why do you expect someone else to give you $500,000 for a piece they can get themselves by spending $20?
See? Either you are a scammer, or you don't understand basic math.
Want to prove that this particular person isn't that low? How about you admit one of the two possible options?
Telling the truth is awesome. Give it a try.

I have a 2004 Chevy Ventura mini van. It dies a lot usually when driving but sometimes when ideling. I had a local mechanic check it once when it wouldn't start and he found it was getting no spark. He replaced the electronic ignition module and the crankshaft sensor but this did not fix the problem. He checked an air flow sensor and determined that was not the problem. It usually starts after 5 to 40 attempt to restart, except once it didn't start for two hours. The Chevy Dealership can find nothing wrong with it. It has a new battery. It has about 100,000 miles. Today it died five times in twenty minutes. Please help me. Thank you. (link)
|
Hi there,
My friend, I am sorry to tell you that you have a vehicle that is legendary for problems like what you are describing. In fact, it is so famous for this this that I can't believe the dealer didn't help you. The only thing I can think is that the mechanic was new there. :-(
The reason that these things are such a beast to get taken care of is that they are prone to several problems; all of which have very similar symptoms.
First things first. If there is another dealership within driving range, I would take it to them, and ask to speak to the senior mechanic. Ask him if he has experience with the legendary runs/dies starts/dies problem these have. If he says no, then I guess I would start calling independent mechanics and asking the same question until you strike gold.
One of the single most hateful things that can be wrong is the intermittent failure of the PASSlock security system that GM uses. You know that chip in the key routine? Well, when it fails it causes problems that are hard to diagnose since it rarely shows a diagnostic code. So the mechanic hooks up to the computer, and it is showing that nothing is wrong... even though you and I both know there is an issue no matter WHAT the computer says.
The problem is so severe that a genius by the name of Luke Lambruschini built a module that bypasses the entire system. The only problem is that the 2004 Venture uses a different system which he doesn't have a kit for. If it turns out to be that this is indeed part of your problem, then you might write to him and ask him if it would be possible for him to design one for you and all the other people stuck with this problem.
Here is a link to his site:
http://newrockies.com/
My understanding is that the security failure will not cause it to die while you are driving, but could cause the repeated inability to start it.
So, what could be causing the death while driving situation? Here are the things that spring to mind:
1) Fuel pressure regulator. (Have the rest of the fuel system checked while you are at it.)
2) I know you had someone check the mass airflow sensor, but I had one on a Pontiac that was intermittent. Sometimes it would work fine and not show as a failed part... and other times it would be just like you describe.
3) TPM/TPS (throttle position sensor)
4) IAC valve (Idle air control)
5) The ECM and BCM (body control module) talk to each other. If the signal is interrupted all kinds of NOT fun things can happen.
6) Camshaft position sensor (You mentioned the crank sensor had been changed, so this is another logical step since they both feed the same computer the data it needs to decide when to allow ignition to work.)
I am sure there are other items I am unaware of, but you have a lot of company in this situation so I would like to point the way to some of your new friends:
There is a Yahoo group for owners(victims?) of Chevy Venture or Lumina and Pontiac Montana or Transport mini vans:
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/chevyventureluminapontiacmontanatransport/
... posting there will let you hear other people's experiences with this as well.
If you would like to have a look at what else is on the internet already about this frightfully common problem:
You will quickly see you aren't alone. Pages and pages of people having issues similar to your own.
Good luck!
P.S. If you wouldn't mind, would you please tell me, in feedback, which part(s) were actually causing your particular problem? Just so I know for the future when someone asks again. Thank you.

I dont know if you remember me or not, but im the girl who wrote you telling you how much i thank you for helping through so much and giving me your advice on everything.. well i need your advice, and i need you to listen to me because im upset :( and your the only one i actually wanted to talk to about this with.. i feel so diffrent, i still cry about him sometimes, but i go to school now, i have a whole new set of friends, i get along with boys much better now, i feel like im able to move on.. but im still feeling so much resentment and anger towards him.. i feel like i dont think about him as much as i used to but when i do i feel like crying and i feel so angry,but im soo much stronger than how i used to be.. you were so right about him though, i hear he does bad things now =/ and it doesnt bother me as much as i thought it would.. i always feel like i want to be alone in school.. but i dont know how to tell my friends that, all i want is some space to myself, is that wrong? ive been so held up with school work, with friends, with other things that i miss being alone but i dont know what to tell my friends when i want to be alone, thyr not so understanding.. is it normal to feel this way?
Another thing ive been going through is that theres this boy at school, i dont know if he like s me.. he looks at me alot, and were good friends, just recently i started becoming closer to him.. but i heard that him and this girl have a thing or something, im not sure it wasnt clear.. its probably not even true.. but it made me back off completely and just get pissed off, i feel like hes such a distraction, like i dont have to think about my ex whenever im around him because hes really attractive and hes a good guy, and i wanted to be closer to him and now that i am i just feel angry that he isnt my rebound person, and yes i do want him to be i wont lie to you because im telling you striaght out how i feel, not rebound rebound, but i wanna start new with someone else, and i wanted it to be him, and i dont know if i even like him but i do always wanna be around him and hes reallly nice to me and treats me good..
Am i afraid of being alone?
Do i always have to be in a relationship?
or do i just want ANY way to get over my ex and stop me from thinking about him because of the amount of depression that happens to me when i do get upset? i dont understand myself anymore, and i dont know if thats even normal..
what i can tell you from all this is that im 100 percent way more stronger than how i was when i first talked to you, but i feel like im trying to be happy because i feel like i NEED to be already, i want any way to get over him and i dont know if what im doing is right or wrong.
thanks for listening :( (link)

I am glad you got something out of what we talked about before, so I'm going to ask you to listen very closely to the simple truth of this situation:
Time and distance.
You need more time to get over this. It may take months, it may take years... and it could suddenly be all better tomorrow. There is no way to know.
As far as the new boy goes... until you are 100% certain that no part of your heart belongs to your ex, and I don't think it sounds like you are there yet, then you won't truly be available for someone new.
Would you want to date a guy who spent as much time as you have on Advicenators bemoaning the loss of his girlfriend? Probably not.
Give it some time. You need to heal.
As for wanting to be alone: Yes, we all need alone time now and again. Normal. Don't just tell your friends you want to be alone... tell them why. Tell them how long you want to be alone. If you don't want to go out on Thursday, then tell them you will talk on Friday.
If you want a week to yourself, tell them so... just make sure that they know it isn't because of them.
Oh, and also about the new boy... you will never know how he feels by depending on rumors. When you feel like you are all done with your ex, just go and talk with him.
The very worst he can do is reject your advances. I know it seems like the worst thing in the world... but it isn't. Good to have some practice in handling rejection anyway. Learning to cope with that will only help you later in life.
Remember:
"...i wanted it to be him, and i dont know if i even like him..."
... is the point of this whole thing.
Find out more about him before you start any serious relationship. Make friends and see where it goes from there.
If he is only a distraction from your ex, then you are using him.
How would you feel if a guy told you he liked you, and then you found out you were only a toy to keep his mind off his ex? :-(
When you are looking to start a new relationship... remember your control issues in the last one. If you can't overcome that, then your next relationship will fail too.
Find out who he is. Who he REALLY is. You didn't do that last time, and it didn't end well.
Whoever you try to make a relationship with next, you need to be compatible. If you aren't, it will NOT work.
This time, pick someone you don't feel the need to control, and see how much better things work out. :-)
Just remember: Time will make this much better than it is now.
Good luck.

Two weeks or so ago, I had a heart attack. I am catching up on things.

My parents are strict and I have always been required to answer them with yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, and no ma'am. I am required to answer all adults this way and some of my friends think it is weird and they have been teasing me about it. I have talked to my dad and he will not let me off the hook when it comes to respect and manners. He will not let me just say yes or no I have to keep using sir and ma'am even though my friends never have to with their parents. Any ideas on what I should do? (link)

You will thank your parents for this the rest of your life.
While your friends are making fun of you for having manners, you will be the one getting the jobs they wish they had. There is NO downside to having manners that make you stand out from the crowd... in a positive way.
Ignore your "friends" now, and spend the rest of your life being REALLY glad that you listened to your parents.
