I'm just an average person. I love to help people out :) it makes me feel better about myself. I've been in a lot of situations so I can most likely relate to a lot of your problems. I know what it feels like to not have anyone to talk to about your problems, which is why i'm an advicenator. I'm ready to help people and be there for everyone who needs advice or just a companion to speak out to. I'm always here if you need me, don't hesitate to drop a question or even just a vent/rant note about a problem to my advice column inbox. I respond to all of them regardless of the topic. I'm upfront and abrupt about my answers and never sugarcoat. Take my advice or not, but i'm just doing my job :)Played volleyball for over 10 years, also a coach. I love to try new things. Currently I'm trying the new sport of tennis and learning about my passion of photography.

What are some national or international non-profit organizations that college students can get involved in that helps people in other countries, and gives them the opportunity to travel?
i'm not completely sure, but go to your college information board. I'm sure they will give you information on what you're looking for. My neighbor joined the Peace Corps and they traveled to africa and india to help people suffering through malaria and other diseases. try searching the web and see what you come up with.
you don't necessarily have to "go anywhere" to make a change. You can make a change by donating money to an organization, volunteering in your community, go green and stop global warming. there's tons of info online just search it up.

Okay so I pulled a muscle in my upper right leg, like were my butt cheek is.I am a cheerleader an it us very hard to do what I do with a pulled muscle. are there any ways at all that could help heal it within like 3 days? It has been pulled for about 2 or 3 weeks though. Help please!!!!
yeah don't strain it even more because it will just make it worse. try massaging it and putting icy hot on it. take some ibuprofen to ease the pain. try icing it and then putting heat on it (switch every 20 minutes) maybe even go get a professional massage and have them massage it out for you. but thats about all you can do. follow the RICE rules- rest, ice, compression, elevation.
I have been cutting for two years. I am fourteen years old. I started when my parents decided to announce that they were getting a divorce. I started and hid it from everyone else for the longest time. I would always wear long sleeved shirts to cover my arms and i'd wear gauntlets to cover my wrists and hands. then, to top it all off, my father was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis. MS is a neurologic disease that makes it harder to move. My dad has always had numbness in his legs but he didn't think it was anything. I've also been fighting with my dad on a weekly basis. we try to work it out, but i've been having to run away from it. I would just end up going over to my mom's house and locking all the doors so he couldn't get in. I was, frankly, rather scared of my dad at that point. I was afraid he would lose his temper all of a sudden and decide to kick me out or abuse me. I dont know what to do anymore. please don't suggest therapy. I have two therapists on call and neither of them are what I thought they'd be and they haven't been helping. maybe you will have better advice.
i agree with the other person. you need to tell someone. you probably don't want to, but its best for you.
also, to add to the other person's advice.. you NEED TO WANT TO STOP. you have to be seriously committed to stopping. none of the BS like- i want to stop cutting but then again i want to. no no no. none of that. you need to be 120 percent comittted to stopping. make a written promise to yourself that this is it, you're gonna stop right now. no more. cutting doesn't solve your problems. yes i know it might "feel good and relieve pain" but so does boxing. so does art therapy or playing music. I dont get why you would hurt yourself for something that you didn't do. its not your fault your parents got divorced. its not your fault that your dad has MS. so why are you hurting yourself?? I dont mean to put you down, but i'm just saying that you have to understand that by cutting, it wont solve your problems. neither is running away. you need to FIX your problems, instead of trying to cover them up.
so yes, talk to a psychiatrist or school counselor. they will know more advice than anyone on this website. they have the power to help you. we can only give you advice. only you and a psychiatrist or counselor have the power to help.
also, i think you need to do something that makes you happy. here do this- one day when you're bored and have nothing to do. set aside time and make a long list of EVERYTHING that makes you happy. name things even if you're unsure about them. puppys, music, food, cooking, chocolate, biking, sports, friends, laughing, road trips, reading, painting, coloring, video games.. then after you've written everything down, go one by one and do them. if you don't have time, make time! instead of cutting, do those things that actually make you happy.
don't expect to see results right away though. it takes time, patience, and commitment. my mother always told me, you can do whatever you want if you just put your mind to do and be committed.
inbox me for more questions if you need to.

Well my dad will not let me sleepover at a friend of mine's house- actually not any of my friends! NOBODY! I known her for 7 years (thats more than half of my life!) My mom is okay with sleepovers but she says your dad needs to agree too. >:( I have only been to one sleepover in my life and only cuz my dad was in San Fransisco (Hehe he doesnt know) Well he says I can't sleepover because it is not safe.
How can I convince my dad to let me sleepover?!
i know how it is too. expect in my case its not sleepovers. it is just going over there in general.. my parents wouldn't let me go over to a friends house unless they met their parents first.
so try getting your parents to meet with your friends parents before the sleepover. exchange numbers and let them talk things over.
talk to your dad and ask him for a compromise. say "if you talk to her parents and have contact with me over the phone and if i come home early, will you let me sleep over?"
don't beg and dont whine. that shows you're immature and trust me you wont get your way. act mature over it.
another thing.. if you dad says No again, don't pout. i know you'd probably want to because you didn't get your way. but if you don't pout and say "ok, i understand", your dad will realize that and realize that you're mature enough.
in the end, your parents are probably right. wouldn't you rather have parents who care about you and want to protect you, instead of parents who would let you do anything you wanted, but if you got hurt or in trouble, they wouldn't come save you?
i know looks, the way you dress etc....just want to add some spice
tease him a little. do something he likes, but then stop for a little while and make him want more.
my favorite is kissing him passionately, and then slowly... stop, get up, walk away somewhere else. he will wonder why you did that, he will be curious, he will want more.
try other things to get his attention like perfume, cute underwear, sexy hair, dramatic makeup like lipstick.
also.. surprise him. if he goes into the bathroom or somewhere else, randomly do something to get his attention like laying on his bed or change your outfit. if he's sleeping, lay next to him and kiss him on the lips to wake him up. if he expects you to wear a normal regular casual day outfit, spice it up a little by wearing something fancier. if he expects you to make him dinner or have a picnic, take him out to eat.
do something different. do something he will notice and say "wow.. i didn't know you could do that." or "i didnt know you were like that" something to catch him off guard will make him crazy.
I can only go to one concert tour this year and I need help deciding between:
The Back Street Boys and New Kids On The Block
Or BOLD (Band from New York)
Any advice on which concert I should buy tickets for?
Thank you!
eenie meenie miny moe..
hah just kidding. i always do that if i can't make up my mind. you probably wont like it but i let fate choose. have a dice and color 3 sides of. throw it up in the air and let fate choose. if it lands on one of the non-colored sides, then check the opposite side and thats the color you go with.
you can always tell what you want when you do this because when you do something like this, and you get an answer and you feel unsure.. that means you don't really want it. so lets say you colored one side red. and it lands on red and that means BSB, but you're thinking "hmm i should do this again and see what else i get" that means you don't really want to go to that one.
again, i don't know if you'll like that method, but it works for me. give it a shot if you want. its just something different.
I have a small red heart outlined in black tattooed on my wrist and i really hate it. I was wondering if there was any fade creams or removal creams that someone knew worked, everyone says something different but id really like this gone or starting to fade away. Thankk youu
you should have thought about that before getting a permanent tat...
well i like a guy named jacob. we are both the same age,12. one of my best friends lyks to tease me about it becuz she sees the way i look at him when we pass by each other,or when hes just sitting down across the quad. even though i told 2 friends about it(so far they havnt squeeled)i still dont have the guts to tell my bf,or jacob becuz im afraid waht she and him would say and treat me.
hey don't be afraid to take some risks in life. thats what life is all about. taking chances :)
if they don't like you because of what you told them, just walk away and ignore them. who cares what they think. wouldn't you rather live life knowing that you told them, than to sit and wonder "what if i told them"?
just be brave. guys like brave girls :) in life, when you get older, there's going to be so many decisions you'll have to make. hard ones. this is just the beginning of what kind of decisions you'll have to make. if you be brave now, you're going to be super woman when you get older. because you'll know that you are brave. you'll have the self confidence. you won't be scared of anything :)

My brain feels dead. I am currently taking 27 credit hours, because I do not have a choice. I am doing a high school program that a college is holding. Where I can graduate with my high school diploma and my associates of science. Lately, my brain is not able to function, maybe because I have been having the worst semester of my life. Many health, relationship, and family problems.. Along with finance. Many think that I should just focus on things one at a time, but I tried. But I am still not able to study. I am getting frustrated with myself about it, and I keep telling myself I need to study. But I never get to it. I would sit down and try to read my text book but it cannot go through my head. I have 2 final exams next week and I don't understand why my brain isn't working. My friend thinks it's working fine especially since I got 2 weeks worth of homework out of the way just to study, but it's not functioning. I wish there was a switch where I can turn my brain onto study mode. I thought I should take one day that I could just sleep, it did not work. My brain still isn't turning on. I do not know what to do. I am freaking out, because I do not want to get kicked out of the program if I fail a class. And I am really close to failing every class I am taking right now. Advice?? Helpp!!!
ya.. you need a mental heath day... i know it sounds pathetic. but research shows that if you focus too much, you feel like your head is gonna explode. by your description, thats what it sounds like to me haha. you just need a vacation. a break. a day off of your life. call in sick for a day and go to the mall and buy a new outfit. go to the beach or go tanning. go to the movies. go on a road trip without a destination. go to a concert. JUST GO SOMEWHERE. get out of your life!
i know you're probably thinking its a horrible idea because youd be skipping on a day of notes or a day of stufying..but it works. wouldn't you rather take a day off and miss some notes, but rejuvinate yourself so you can focus the next few weeks. than to just keep going on like this? its worth a shot.
just take your mind off of everything. GO TO THE SPA and do yoga!!! that helps me all the time. if i have a stressful day/week/month, i splurge and spoil myself and go to the spa. get a message. get a facial or manicure. now, if you're not interested in going to the spa or yoga.. you should try just going into a hot sauna, or hot bubble bath. then go into a quiet room away from everything. just sit down. close your eyes. and relax. it might be hard. but just for like 30 minutes. close your eyes and relax. you can lay down if you want. get comfy. but just breathe really slowly and deeply and relax. DONT THINK. thats the most important thing. clear your mind off of everything.
after you take a mental health day, i gauruntee you, you will feel fresh and new. your brain is so worked up with everything going on, it just needs a break. do something that makes you happy. have fun! :)
how do you know if a nice guy likes you.
there are ways and body language for telling if a
mean guy likes you like throwing things at you, making fun of you out loud to everybody so he knows you got his attention
shy guy.. glances at you and then turns away quickly
smiles at you, tries to make sweet convo
well what about mr nice guy. definition of mr nice guy:he's nice to everybody and he flirts casually doesnt think about it because he doesnt know he's doing it.
What are the signs of him liking you,being into you, and flirting w. you because he notices you not because he is trying to be nice?
if he compliments you but not any other girl. or something like that. if he says something to you but wouldn't to any other girl. (something nice of course) if he does something for you that he normally wouldn't for any other girl. like holding the door for you but wouldn't for any other girl. or picks up a book you dropped. you get what i mean?
I always feel alone. I also feel that I'm friendless... In school, I feel that everyone doesn't like me and they don't care about me. Therefore sometimes I'm emoing in school... I don't know how to tell my mum and ask an advice from her so I really feel isolated. Somehow, I feel that my friends always giving me an irritated look when I'm around and they address that look to me... I also have this feeling that I'm just a burden to everyone.. I feel that I don't belong among my friends.. I feel so small and useless when I'm among my friends in school... I feel like I'm living in this world alone... Am I just being oversensitive or paranoid? And if I do, how to overcome it? I am 15 yrs old. Thanks.
hey, don't feel bad. you're not the only one. trustt mee.. there are tonss of people out there who feel isolated. i'm not sure how big your school is. but my school is one of the biggest in the state and i know a lot of people that feel like this.
the best thing you can do is to do what makes you happy. you'll get friends by doing the things you like, because then other people who enjoy those things too will connect with you better and you'll get along easily :)
as for your old friends.. if they make you sad or unhappy. you could either ditch them or try talking to them and let them know how you feel. tell them exactly what you told us. that you feel like they give you cold and dirty looks and that you feel unwanted around them. if you decide to talk to them, and they still don't change, then it might be time to find a new group of friends. friends who will make you happy and appreciate you for who you are.
i know it seems pretty complicated, trying to get a group of friends that like you. but honestly, if you just relax and let them come to you without struggling and worrying, it will be 1000 times easier. when i was your age, i felt the same way. i had so much pressure on me because i thought i needed to have a best friend. but i realized that it doesnt matter. i have better things in my life, like sports, art, family, music, my dog. i have other things to make me happy. i joined a cool class that i enjoyed and i met a nice girl there and next thing i know we planned a sleepover and had a blast and we became best friends :) just dont stress out about it. itll happen.
good luck and inbox me if you have any more questions :)
Ok this stinks so bad!!! I am grounded because my Mom got mad at me for making a facebook account. She found out and then deleted it. I am so upset because all of my friends have one, and facebook is really fun too. My boyfriend has one and says really nice things about me on facebook and now I cant even have a facebook to say thanks. My boyfriend doesnt have a cell phone anymore because he dropped it in the toilet and his Mom wont pay for a new one and he doesnt have enough money for one either. I am really upset because my MOm will not stop talking about the facebook thing to my Aunt and Grandmom. I dont live with my Dad so my Aunt and My Grandmom are the only people she likes to talk to. I want to hang out with my friends but I cant becuase I am grounded. I am so bored with nothing elese to do. SO to top everything off my boyfriend is a really bad kisser!!! This sucks so bad. Also my MOm is super over pretective so I never get to do the things that all of my friends do. I hate this. Also, my Mom has a really weird lock on the computer to everthing fun and cool. She locked my television channels of all the shows I normally watch. My cell phone has locks on it also so I cannot call or text anyone but my Mom, my Aunt, and my Grandmom. Please give some good advice to me I am in desperate need of help thankyou for your time.
well first of all.. do you even understand why your mom does it?? it could be so many things. it could be that she loves you way too much and doesn't want to let you grow up and be independent. she might feel like you wouldn't need her when youre older. it might be that she doesn't want you to get influenced by your friends to do bad things. it could be that she is angry and stressed and needs to take it out on you. whatever the case may be, you need to find out WHY she's doing this. Talk to her about it. one day sit her down and ask her why is she overprotective and why she has locks on everything and why you can't have a facebook. I know this will probably be hard because I come from a very protective family. I've been there and done that. my mom wouldn't let me walk to school when i was younger, when i lived less than a block away. i know how you feel. but you've got to understand, she's not doing it because she wants to punish you. its because she loves you soo much and either wants you to learn from mistakes, or by protecting you.
let me ask you this. wouldn't you rather have a loving, somewhat overprotective mom and possibly stay away from bad influences.. than to have a mom who wouldn't give a damn, and say you got into trouble and she wouldn't help you out?? i'd rather have overprotective mom than a mom who doesn't give a damn about me.
so yes, talk to your mom. ask her what her purpose is for her reasons. if she gets irritated at you for asking so many questions, just politely say "I just don't understand why you are doing this. I need to know what's the point. I dont want to argue. I want to talk this through in a mature manner" Then if she does give you reasons, explain to her that you're growing up and will be independent. but remind her that you WILL need her when you grow up. ask her for some freedom. I'm not sure how old you are.. but if you're 16 and older, its time to have more independence and freedom. if you're younger than 16, i'd give it some more time. she only wants what's best for you. I doubt she would ever do anything to purposely harm you. let her know that you want to grow up having experiences. how are you supposed to be successful in life if you don't have experience??
as for your boyfriend kissing.. you can just be brave and risk being a little rude and tell him straight up that he needs to work on kissing techinques. *dont tell him he's a bad kisser because he will get offended by that* give him some tips on how to get better. like tilt his head more. or pucker his lips more. or keeps his lips closed more. or suck your bottom lip more.
good luck!
I want to be a journalist, and I want a career where I can travel and write from all over the world. About everything.
What should I specialize in in college? Print journalism or digital?
What careers could I have in digital journalism?
Are there any non-profit organizations that do a lot of traveling to third world countries, helping people that maybe I could write for?
i think print journalism doesn't require much traveling compared to digital journalism.
the difference between print and digital journalism is that print journalism could be newspapers, magazines, books etc. digital is more like photography and cinema, like tv shows, movies, pictures for magazines.
photography is based on traveling because if, say you were doing an article on africa, your organization is writing an article on africa, they would most likely need pictures to go with that. But don't get me wrong, print journalism does require traveling too because how are you supposed to write an article on africa if you don't go there. so pretty much both of them could relate to travel, its just what you want to do more. you mentioned writing in your question, so you must be more interested in that. rather than taking pictures.
my personal opinion, writing/print is better because its unique. YOU wrote it. its your words that you put onto paper. photography is just basically taking pictures. point the camera and click. its just my personal opinion but i'd rather write and make it sound original than to take pictures that anyone could probably do.
if you wanted to go about this path, you'd have to get a degree in journalism. I'm not in college yet but you can get a major or minor in journalism. I'd also take communications too. That is pretty much the same as print journalism but it also has different communications like radio, tv, media, etc. then after you get a degree for them, try taking an internship to test out what you like. the great thing about internships is that its like a job shadow. if you don't like it, you can eliminate it from your job list categories. once you come down to a few on your job list categories, pick one, look for a job, and live life :)
and also, don't worry if you feel like you're not the best right away. it takes a while for someone to become a great worker/journalist in your case. don't expect it to come easy and have offers handed to you. you need to work for them. hard work pays off :)
What are some songs that are about being confused about what you want or not knowing what to do in life/love? Generalizations are okay, with just a vague sense of this feeling.
i dont know many but this is one of my fav's
stuck- stacie orrico
Ever since I was little my family has called me "pretty" and all those warm and fuzzy words, but that's just family. I don't take them seriously.
I've never been asked out, always been rejected when I've done the asking... To my knowledge, no guy has ever liked me. (To be hoenst though, I'm not bitter about it, so no need for sympathy)
So... how do you know if you're "ugly"? :/ Do guys look at ugly girls? I ask that 'cause I've noticed lately that, from guys in general, I've been getting more looks. Seriously, just within the past two weeks. I have no rumors floating around me, not lost any weight or done anything drastic to change myself. I checked in a mirror and nothing was on my face or anything... So what's up with that, with guys looking?
One of my guy friends, while he thought I wasn't listening, labled me as "alright", so I guess that means I'm not HIDEOUS.
I know I'm not pretty, if I was I'd know that by now, but perhaps I'm a bit closer to average than I thought?
here's a thought... who cares what other people think of you..??
seriously.. if they don't like you or don't like the way you look, they should get on with their lives.
i'm not going to answer your question and tell you if you're pretty or not. because this is ridiculous. give me a rating of 1 for this answer, i dont care. but you REALLY need to understand that you can't please everybody.
so what if people think you're ugly? say it back to them! "you're ugly too!" i'm so sick and tired of hearing girls complain how they aren't pretty enough or they can't get popular because of their looks or a guy hasn't talked to them yet so that must mean their ugly.
GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE! if people don't like the way you look, tell them to look the other way then! if they dont like the way you dress, tell them to f*** off because its none of their business
i'm sorry for being so harsh.. but you have got to realize that you can't please everybody in this world. there's always going to be people who think you're less than them, or think they're better than you. you just have to learn how to shake it off and KNOW you're better than them. why do you have to prove it? why do you even care what other people think??
honestly, you're just wasting your time thinking about "looks". we were born this way for a reason. get used to it. there's girls out there who hate their body and will do everything and anything to hide it or change it. plastic surgery, tattoos, laser surgery blah blah blah. but you know what? they can't stand in the mirror and say 'this is me' because its not who they are.
be proud of who you are. if someone doesn't like it, screw them. who cares???
i had a similar experience. when i was in middle school/beginnning of high school, i was soooo self-conscious. always caring about how i looked, always fixing my hair to impress someone, trying to buy clothes that were popular.. but then i realized, why does it matter? in a few years i'll be out of this town and living life. MY LIFE. why would i try to impress people if i'm not going to see them in 3 years? what's the point? its soo hard to please everyone and try to be perfect. then i realized.. i like being imperfect. i like the fact that i can get ready for school in 20 minutes. i like the fact that i dont wear eyeliner because then i can rub my eyes without worrying about smearing everything and then taking it off every day. i like the fact that i dress differently then other girls. i like myself for who i am. then i made a promise to myself that the rest of my high school career i wouldn't give a damn about what other people thought of me. to be honest, nobody really cares.. i wore a really expensive thing to school to show it off and didnt get any compliments.. then i wore sweatshirt the next day and friends started to talk about the sweatshirt and where i got it.
so please. please. please.. do not change yourself just so you can please other people. because in the end, you'll only be disappointing yourself.. do what makes YOU happy. don't care what other people think. you'll learn eventually that there are people in the world you just have to laugh at their face, ignore them, and walk away with pride.
:)
ok i need help doing my homework. i wouldnt normally do this i HATE copying/askin for help/using other people ideas but im actually so stuck.
ive just got my marks back and this is the stuff i have to do
We are studying intreinsic and extrinsic risk factors. and im stuck on two of my intrinsic factors
diet. how could i prevent injury by having a good diet. Meaning what mesures could i do? i said keep a food diary but my lecturer wants more action plans. and i ant think of any.
also preperation. how can injury through poor preperation be prevented? iw rote by good training but what else?
please its very important.
i can answer the diet one.. but i'm not sure what you mean by preperation. are you talking about preparing??
diet can prevent injury because if you eat more fruits and veggies, you get more calcium and nutrients. the nutrients are good for your body because they help build up your immune system, so you don't get as sick as often. that's why you take a vitamin C tablet every day, so you don't get sick. And that's also why there's a saying that goes- an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Take calcium as an example. calcium is found in milk and other stuff. if you drink a lot of milk, it gives you a boost of energy and makes your bones stronger-- aka less prone to injuries.
i am a milk whore. i drink milk every single day. my parents joke about buying me a cow for my birthday. and guess what? i haven't broken a bone in my body and i'm 18.
i'm going to assume you mean "preparing for injuries". by preparing yourself/training, you can prevent injuries. say for example, you don't want to twist an ankle.. there are exercises used to strengthen your ankles, so that way they won't get harmed. training your body is training your muscles. its something called "muscle memory". if you want to achieve doing the splits, your TRAIN yourself and teach yourself how to do it, eventually you'll be able to do it because your muscles will recognize that its not unusual to them anymore since you have been training for it. aka- muscle memory.
another example would be preparing for knee injuries. if you're in a sport that requires a lot of jumping, you might have knee problems because according to psychics, what goes up must come down. when you jump up, and come back down, you're putting all of your body weight onto your knees. if you jump on 1 leg, its very bad for you because you're putting ALL of your body weight on that one knee! preparing yourself not to get knee injuries can be explained as doing some squats and jumps, making sure you land softely and safely.
most people have personal trainers if they are a big athelte. personal trainers are the people who "prepare" yourself to prevent injuries and help you stay healthy.
i hope i helped! :)
Ok I'm 14 years old and I have never had sex or anything like that. I have masturbated before but not like actually fingering myself just like rubbin my clitoris. But I have never started my period. I have pubic hair and underarm hair and I get cramps but not bad ones, like it's just gas most of the time. But I have discharge and it's a good amount too haha. But I have had discharge since I was like 11 or 12 and my mom started her period when she was 12. What do you think is wrong? Is there something wrong with me? I have like size 36a breasts and that's kinda small but why haven't I started my period? Does masturbating have anything to do with it? Is tere something wrong with me since I haven't started yet and my mom did at 12? Please help!
no i don't think anything is wrong with you. girls get periods at different ages. i heard about this one girl who didn't get hers until she was 16. and masterbating doesn't have anything to do with it. i'm not sure why you haven't gotten it yet. normally it happens when your mother got it because its genetics. if you're that concerned, ask your mom to take you to the doctor to see what's wrong.
I really like getting people presents and I love thinking up perfect ideas of what to make them but I can't think of ANYTHING to make my boyfriend for christmas this year...He doesn't wear necklaces or anything and I was thinking about making a scrap book or something but we don't have a lot of pictures of us together :/ I really need help thinking of something cute to do for him, I'm kind of always expected to make people awesome presents. Last year, I filled a heart shaped box with 100 reasons why I love him and I've drawn him pictures of us for a present before...help!!
i like the scrap book idea. but it doesn't have to be pictures of just you 2. try talking to his parents and see if they can give you some pics of him when he was a baby and growing up. so it could be like a memory scrapbook of his childhood. and then occasionally put pics of you 2 in there.
this year, i'm making my bf a tie blanket. its basically when you buy 2 sheets of fabric (fleece) and cut strips on the edges and tie them together. they are really cozy and he saw that i had one and practically begged me to make him one. you can also make him a matching pillow. its basically the same as the blanket but you just buy stuffing at any fabric store and stuff the insides of the 2 blankets.
you can also try some fun stuff with photos. if you have a Walgreens, ask them what kinds of stuff they offer. i know they let you print pictures on Tshirts, coffee mugs, hats etc. maybe make him a pair of pajamas with a bunch of pics on them? haha
you can make him a scarf, hat, or socks if you're talented with needles and yarn. maybe make him a quilted blanket if you know how to quilt. if you're good at art, you could try painting a self portrait of him. or oil pastels. and then frame it.
There's a ton of idea's. just keep your eyes open. sometimes, the best presents/ideas are right under your nose :) pay attention to what he sees and says he likes. go to the mall and if he looks at something intently, he's interested in it. get ideas from his actions.
Is it wrong that I had a crush on my cousin when we were both little kids?
haha probably not. you were little.. you didn't understand that liking a family member more than "family love" is wrong. don't feel bad. you didn't know and that's not your fault.

I just changed doctors, and on my first visit during the examination my doctor asked me how long I had a heart murmur. I had no clue what she was talking about, so she scheduled an echocardigram (or something like that).
I was just wondering what this means, is it bad? I'm taking an aerobics class in college. Will this affect what I can do? Any information will be helpful. Thanks!
i had a heart murmur too but that was when i was a baby. it basically is just an unknown sound in your heart. when they listen to your heart beat with a stethescope, they notice some unfamiliar sound, that is called a heart murmur. i had to do that echocardigram thing too. its basicaly a series of tests they do to you. like one time i had to ride a stationary bike and they hooked me up to some machine and looked at my heart rates. another test they did was an ultra sound (what they do to pregnant women) but on my heart.
worst case senario, they do surgury. i had to get surgery on me but i'm perfectly fine now :)
dont worry about it. the doctors know what they are doing.
