Nobody really does that here. I mean, people'll tie ribbons in their hair, but nobody uses like, big hairbows. I guess it's just a thing there.

How do i tell my parents i have an eating disorder? i promised my best friend i would do something about it after her reading my journal and finding out. im miserable and depressed and cant stop. how do i tell them?

Signed
help

It's NOT your fault, and your parents are probably going to be happy that you told them and you want to get help instead of waiting until something terrible happens and .. yeah. So, it's going to be ackward, but you need to just sit down with them and say it straight out. If you need support, see if your friend'll come over and you can do it then. Good luck with everything! :o)

ok i have known this girl for about 10 years and lately she been rapidly loosing weight and not eating anything whenever she does she runs to the bathroom, and one time i followed her into the bathroom and i heard her throwing up when i confronted ehr about it she just denied it and said it wasnt her throwing up but i followed her in there and i know it was her she was the only one in there besides me and im really scared for her i dont want her to die from this and i love her and she means the world to me how could i possibly get her to realizxze that she needs sum help?

Yeah, most people with eating disorders deny it. You should try to talk to her about it again, though, before she does some permanant damage [[ if she hasn't already ]]. Make sure you're there for her when she needs you, and try not to get angry with her. If she won't get help // tell someone, you should tell an adult that you can trust .. her parents, a school counselor, etc. Hopefully she'll get some help soon. Good luck! :o)

Does anyone else have flashbacks about things they regretted doing or things other people did that unnerved you? I have never done LSD or anything like that. I know they aren't real. It doesn't keep me from doing things, but it makes me shrug sometimes in reaction to it.

I think pretty much everyone has flashbacks of their past. I have them a lot about like, stupid things I did or things I regret doing // not doing. I think it's perfectly normal :o).

confused gurl,

next year me and my bestest friend are splitin up i am so scared that we will forget about each other i dont want that 2 happen.

HELP- =(

The same thing happened to me and my old best friend a while back, but we were only seperated for a year. We pretty much stayed best friends throughout it. Just make sure to keep in touch with her, talk on the phone // computer a lot, go to the mall + the movies, do all of the things that you guys do now, and it should be alright. Good luck! :o)

what does the word Vain mean? I hear ppl say this and I have not clue

Not yielding the desired outcome; fruitless: a vain attempt.
Lacking substance or worth: vain talk.
Excessively proud of one's appearance or accomplishments; conceited.
Archaic. Foolish.

To no avail; without success: Our labor was in vain.
In an irreverent or disrespectful manner: took the Lord's name in vain.

Synonyms: vain, empty, hollow, idle, nugatory, otiose
These adjectives mean lacking value or substance: vain regrets; empty pleasures; hollow threats; idle dreams; nugatory commentaries; an otiose belief in alchemy.

* - I've usually heard it said meaning the same thing as conceited.

If you really want to get it pierced, just get it pierced, it's not that big of a deal :o). If you don't like it, you can always just take it out.

I've decided to start using tampons because I get my period every two or three weeks and it lasts for a week and I dont wanna sit home for a whole week for most of the summer and do nothing. Well the other day I got my period so I used a tampon and when I took it out, it hurt. Is this normal? This question is to the girls so please help me out!

There are a few possibilities ..

- it could just be a matter of your body getting used to it

- you could've pulled it out at an odd angle

- if the tampon is still pretty dry, it tends to hurt, so try using a lower absorbancy or leaving it in longer

I'd try using the junior // slim kind for now, and seeing if that helps at all.

Good luck! :o)

does anyone know any good techniques for basketball to get ur left hand stronger?

~i rate good~

Work on layups + stuff with your left hand .. just do everything you practice normally with your right hand with your left hand instead + it should get stronger.

...i play soccer a lot and im kinda busy...i realli wanna be able to do like back walkovers and stuff...without coaches...can u give me like TONS of tips that would help me learn how?? thanx

You can start by working on bridges to see how much flexibility you have on your back // become more flexible, and then you can work on doing backbends [[ try them walking your hands down the wall ]], and then just start to kick over. Try having a friend spot you or using some mats, just so you don't get hurt [[ i know, it's unlikely that you will, but it could happen ]]

~*~AlEx~*~

Practice a lot, try out for the basketball team if your school has one. See if the rec department has any programs. Join summer // out of school teams, go to basketball clinics // camps. Good luck :o)

yet another poem-

There is a little place, here, inside my head, where everything hides, everything I dread.

There is another place where all funny things hide, all the laughs that I've had stay quietly inside.

There is one last place where my love stays apart from the rest, this little place is my heart and I think I like it best.

cute :o)

ok well me and this girl briana are like best friends we go sumwhere together everyday and hang out...but lately she is getting annoying and i dont really wanna hang out with her anymore...do u think we hang out to much and im just gettin sick of her or what!? plez help me!

You've probably just been hanging out too often .. most people'll get sick of someone that they're around all the time. Just try not doing stuff so often and you'll probably start to feel differently. :o)

Hey umm im 15 and im preg. i need to know will i get my period?

Nope, for the time that you're pregnant, you won't be getting your period.

my mom has been really mean to me and my brothers lately and i think it is because her and my dad who are divorced are having arguements because she wants to move to a different state, what do i do!

Talk to her and tell her how it's making you [[ and your brothers ]] feel. If you want, you could talk to your brothers about it and then all of you could talk to her about it. Good luck! :o)
