The classroom felt like it was a bazillion degrees...I thought I was dying...was this a panic attack? what can I do to stop them?
Please Help (link)

Symptoms are rapid pounding heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing. A lot of people think they are having a heart attack.
Here is a website that will give you more information about it. :)

I can't turn to anyone else but my grandma got a stroke and ever since my uncle thinks he is the boss. He told me today he as putting her in a home and he did (I objected) and now I can't find one of her tablets that she needs. She hasn't even has her night tablet and I'm scared he's trying to kill her. I also saw on a piece of paper that he wrote "Do take out" on an account that is my grandma's and unfortunately his! I'm so scared...Please help me... and resonable advice please! (link)

It sounds to me as if your grandma gave your uncle her power of attorney.
In other words, she trusted him to take care of her if she should ever be unable to do it herself.
I know it is not easy having to put a loved one in a nursing home. However, if none of her other relatives are willing to take on her care then he may not have had a choice.
Taking care of someone who needs a lot of care is not easy to do. I know you would like to do it, but it is a 24/7 job. She needs the care you would give a baby and that is hard for most people with families to do.
I am sure the nursing home will take good care of her. They will be in contact with her doctors and will see that she gets her medications and all that.
I really don't think your Uncle is treating her badly. Since she has had a stroke, her meds have probably changed. Some that she took before may not be good for her to take now, etc.
Visit her when you can. It is very possible she can go home if she recovers enough to take care of herself. Don't give up hope that it could happen. :)

Okay, first of all, I have a friend. She calls people idiots and stuff and is very negative about things. She even hit me once (hard!) and called me an a**hole, for (yes!), a stupid reason. I try not to hang out with her much because of her attitude.
I made a harmless joke about her, saying how she should be a tree surgeon because she likes nature (we were talking about them in class). I was just joking, and not intending to make fun of or hurt her at all.
After school, I saw her away message on AIM, and it said something bad about me!
Should I apologize for what I said? (link)
|
I wouldn't apologise.
She may not want to be a tree surgeon but its a legitimate job! Certainly nothing to get all bent out of shape about. If it hurt her feelings she is WAY to sensitive.
I think since you are on her "bad list", you should ignore her until she apologises. Then, I would take no more of her nonsense. If that means not hanging around with her anymore, then its up to you, I think I would just stop hanging around with her...after letting her know exactly why.
Who knows, maybe she will learn something and stop with the attitude.

I have known Lauren since kindergarden and now we're in 7th grade. She's the complete geeky looking kid with disgusting nails, glasses, braces you name it! Thats doesn't bother me though... i mean its the inside that counts. She totally does NOT know how to handle people socially. Shes annoying and everyone hates her. Guess whos her only friend?? MEE! Ug she follows me everywhere and sits with me at lunch even though everyone at my table tells me to get rid of her. Her life is a mess. All her friends ditched her.
Bad Stuff:
1) Shes going throuh a difficult time so it is hard to talk to her without her acting suicidal and saying "SO NOW YOU HATE ME TOO??"
2) I'm going on a 1 week cruise with her for her bat mitzvah this spring break.
3) I can't just ditch her as a friend when she needs me!

Sounds like she realizes she doesn't have many friends.
Why not offer to do a makeover on her. You could probably just get together for an overnight and decide "lets experiment with makeup". It can be done either way.
If you can just get her feeling good about herself, help her learn how to handle people socially, I think you both will be better off.
Try it and see if it works. :)

There is this guy(16)in my "off season" athletics class, and I've always thought that he was cute but we didn't start talking to this year, and lately we have been having free period and me and him were walking through our training gym and he was like; I like you and kissed me, then the next day i was looking through his wallet and saw a picture of my friend and was like woah you know her and he was like yeah shes my girlfriend you know her? and i was like yeah she is one of my friends and he looked a little embarrassed. Today he kept flirting with me and i was like no were not talking you have a girlfriend and he was like i know but i really like you. What do I do i really like him but me and his girlfriend are friend well more aquaintences but we still talk. Should I wait for him or just blow him off cuz if he did this to her then he'll probably do it to me right? sorry so long i'll rate good

You sure don't want to be giving him kisses until he is no longer dating the other girl.
If he truly likes you, and you tell him this, he will break up with the other girl before putting the moves on you. If he does this then he is probably trustworthy enough to give a chance to. :)

Why are some guys such JERKS? No, that's not really my question, but I would like to know.
My question is this... I have a boyfriend. I think. Thing is, I haven't spoken to him since early December. He WON'T take my calls. How do I know? "Hello Mrs. Carr, is Andrew home?"
"Just a second" *calls his name in the backround*
*Andrew whispers back* "Who is it?"
"May I ask who's calling?"
"Yes ma'am, it's Brandy."
*Andrew whispering again* "I'm not home."
*His mom* "Brandy honey, could you call back in a few minutes please?"
"Of course."
So I wait a few minutes, about fifteen, and call back. NO ANSWER. I call my friend Meg who lives right next door to him and asked if he was there. She said yes. I called him again. No answer. I waited a few more minutes and called back. No answer.
He missed my birthday and hasn't spoken to me at all in over a month. I just don't know what to think. I mean, he hasn't broken up with me, so does he want to be with me? And if he didn't want to be with me, couldn't he grow some cohones and tell me instead of ignoring me?
*Sigh* (link)
|
He is definitely a jerk. That's putting it mildly.
Consider yourself broke up. He is just to big a sissy to come right out and say so.
Don't waste any more of your time calling him. There are plenty more guys out there who are real men. Go get yourself one of those! :)

im not sure what to put this under as a category but heres how the story goes:
im 15/f. ive been going to the same school since i was seven. its an all girls school, and most of my guy friends go to all guy schools. well, anyways, the thing is that after school i do ballet... but it is WAY to early. it starts at like four thirty and thats just to early for me. i have things to take care of after school!
well, anyways, the all guy schools have chearleaders, but all the chearleaders go to this other all girls school. thers only two girls schools and two guy schools where i live =), but the reason that they dont allow the girls from my school to try out for chearleading for those schools is because we dont have a chearleading team...... and ive always wanted to become a chearleader!!!! and its also because i get to meet more guys when i get out of school (aka prison) instead of doing ballet, where its another group of all girls! so, i have moved the ballet classes to the adult classes only because it was a better scheduale for me......
but..... the reason we dont have a chearleading team is because the headmistress of our school doesn't believe in it or something because she thinks that girls are showing their underwear... i dont know its really really stupid. but, thats what she says. maybe if i wrote her a letter or something, she would consider it, i mean we are like the only school in this city that does not have a chearleading team, and some people, like me, really, really want to do it!!!! what could i write to her to make her change her mind.... and you know, not sound disrespectful to her or anything, u noe, not make her mad. heehee.... thank you very much for reading this. thanking u in advance for your help! (link)
|
I am sure you will get some answers form the cheerleaders among us as to what you might want to say in a letter.
I just want to say that perhaps if the headmistress doesn't like the idea, you may want to take your request to the school board.
I don't know much about private schools, but I assume there is a school board that helps make decisions on what goes on at the school. Try that and see if you get a more positive result.
It may also help if you can get a petition going among all the girls who might like to participate in cheer-leading. The more wanting it the better for your cause! :)

So I like this guy named Joey. He is really sweet. And I love him to death.
Yesterday, he finally asked me out. And then I heard from my friend Therese that my other friend Mario [who was with me when Joey asked me out] likes me a lot, more than friends should like eachother. And now, Mario told me that Joey thinks that I made out with Mario [which I didn't]. And Mario is trying to do almost everything for me and Joey to break up since he likes me.
What should I do?
Please help!

You really can't do much about Mario if he isn't going to tell you himself that he likes you.
I think I would tell him he needs to stay out of your relationship with Joey. You need to tell Joey what you think might be going on so he doesn't listen to anything Mario may do to stir up trouble.
Then, should Mario confess to you his feelings, you will have a whole new set of problems! You will have to decide who you want to have as a boyfriend.
Until Mario tells you something though, don't just assume he likes you more than he does on the word of even your best friend. He needs to be man enough to tell you himself. :)

13/m. Okay, so there's this girl, and I like her, and she knows I like her. But she just likes me as a friend. No... like isn't strong enough a word. But I can't say love, because everyone says that teens don't know love. But isn't infatuation a necessary part of our lives? (Besides, it's been so long that I've liked her, it's not quite love anymore...)
Background info on her: she's smart (I'm smart too), she's hyper (I'm hyper too). Um... yeah that's it.
So anydangways, I was reading her blog just now, and I was astonished to see that she was talking about how she needs a boyfriend, and single life sucks, and she wants a "hot cool british guy to un-single her. cuz brits r cool." I know she thinks guys are hot, but I didn't know that's what she looks for in a guy!!! Or that she tries to get a boyfriend for the sake of un-singling herself! I don't know what to do; before I know it she'll be taken, or perhaps she'll just never like me! Just because I'm too nerdy! Or any other reason! What should I do?
Plus: Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and I know I should do something special for her, but I don't know what! I've tried asking her out, and I told her my feelings, and she said back in August that she'd tell me whenever she, too, feels that way. So I want to respect her privacy by not rushing her, or telling her stuff again and again and again. I don't want to seem obnoxious. But I gotta do something, just to tell her that I still like her! What should I do? Please help!!! (link)

I think she is just going to be your friend for a while. Seems to me you have done everything in your power to get her to say she likes you as more than a friend. She just doesn't seem to want to take it further right now. I'm awful sorry.
You sound like a pretty nice guy. Any number of other girls are going to like you for that. I think you need to start looking for one of them.
You are young. I know you probably get tired of hearing that, but you are. She may change her feelings when she gets a little older. In the mean time don't let her think for a minute she has you stringing along out there waiting on her.
Who knows, you may even become more attractive to her if she sees you aren't going to wait around.
So stay friends with her by all means, but try looking for some other girl who will really appreciate all the nice things you can do for her. :)

i need help im not sure of what to do. and also i need help i want to make some friends.and i find it hard 2 (link)
|
Why not sit with the one or two you know?
As a group (if you're shy), Try talking to one new person each day. Talk about swimming or something else you're interested in.
Not everyone will respond in a friendly way, but sooner or later you will find a few who will. Before you know it you will have more friends. The same thing would work at school, or anywhere else you may go.
Good luck. :)

its gotten tot he point where I feel so low about myself I could crawl into my bed and never come out. I want to be with someone that makes me feel special.. Why cant i find that guy?

I have talents and yes I have flaws. But i think id be a really good girlfriend.
what can I do? (link)

Young men take a while to get real good at being everything you want. Girls mature faster than boys do.
So, if you are under the age of 16, you may just have to be patient and wait for the guys to mature a little. Either that or look for someone a couple of years older than yourself.
Don't worry, you'll find him. :)

alright a while ago i was basicly raped and forst to give oral sex.. I went to get tested for stds and everything and they said if I get cold sores to come back for herpes testing.. well I have like dry spots on the edge of my mouth but i dont think its herpes! its just lik a lil cuts on the edge of my mouth but i dont think i have any stds..
what do you think? (link)
|
A cold sore will most likely be in the corners of your mouth, or on the inside of your mouth somewhere.
Keep an eye on it of course because I can't see you, but it sounds as if you have cracked dry lips, probably from the cold weather (which is common).
I am sure your mom would have said something if she thought it was a cold sore. :)
*******EDIT******
You may want to add that your mom doesn't know what happened for those whos answers follow. :)

okay im a 13 yr old girl and well, for a while now two people have asked me if i would go out with these two guys.. One of the guys is in my grade and i talk to him all the time. and the second guy is in high school and we dont talk to each other alot. so what should i do, who should i pick? (link)
|
The best way to handle it is to go out with whichever boy asks you out first. If you don't like him and the other boy asks you out, you go out with him. One date won't make you either ones girlfriend.
Don't go out with either unless they ask you themselves. Other people need to mind their business. :)

What exactly is a whore and a hoe ? ill rate for reasonable nice answers (link)
|
A whore is a person considered sexually promiscuous. Usually a prostitute who gets paid for having sex with someone.
A hoe is a garden tool used for digging out weeds and stuff like that.
Or, it is a slang for whore used by those to lazy to spell it out, or to illiterate to know how to spell it. :)

For our one week of Winter Break, me, and my parents are going to California to visit my relatives. I want my best friend to come along.
She needs a place to stay for Winter Break cause her parents have to go to court [long story]Both our parents work for airlines so we'll fly for free. We'd stay at my g-ma's house [ so no hotel fee] Me and my bff have tried to go on several vacations together and my dad usually says yes but my mom ALWAYS says no. She gets mad when I ask and starts screaming. She said having my bff come along will just put stress on her.
How can I convince my mom that my friend should come to California with us? [ I need a resonable answer, that would be put in a sweet way. My mom can get very agrumentative and mean] (link)
|
If dad usually says yes, why not go to him first.
Explain to him how much you would like your friend to go and see if he won't ask your mom for you. Tell him how she will probably argue its not a good idea so he will know ahead of time.
I think she will have a harder time arguing with him about it.
Good luck. :)

What is the name of the Van Halen song in the "Darth Vader scene in the first Back to the Future film? (link)
|
I looked for over an hour! Got my curiosity up.
The only thing I could find was under a Trivia site for the movie. It claims that although the tape is labeled Van Halen, they could only get permission to use their music from Eddie.
So, it is not Van Halen music but an untitled original by Eddie Van Halen, originally made for the movie the Wild Bunch.
Thanks for the question, I actually had fun working on it. :)

My mom has been smoking for a long time now. She smokes a pack a day and i want her to stop so she wont get cancer or anything. She says its really hard to stop and she already tried one of those stop smoking programs. How do i make her stop? (link)

Cheerbabe is right. You can encourage your mom by letting her know you'd like her to quit but there really isn't a lot you can do to actually make her quit. That is something she has to really, really want to do for herself.
It is very difficult to do. Mom is right about that. Unless she really wants to quit it is impossible. So encourage her ( without nagging!).
And maybe she will give it another try. :)

I Have been feeling depressed for almost a year now, and I have read nearly all the articles posted about depression, but none of them really help me. I took the first step of talking to a trusted adult, who was one of my former teachers. She tried to help me by calling my mom and referring me to different counselors. But this made my mom very angry. My mom refuses to let me see a counselor, and she is not allowing me to have contact with my teacher either. I don't understand why, but I think it's because my mom feels like I am placing blame on her for my issues. Now I feel so alone because I have no one to talk to. I want to call my teacher, but my mom would be very angry if she found out. What else is there left for me to do if counseling is not an option? I fear I will keep getting more and more depressed like I have been. Please respond to my question, I really need your help! (link)

Would mom let you see you regular family physician?
Honestly, unless you have a very extreme case, your regular doctor can be of help. If you need a different kind of treatment he can refer you to someone else.
Your mom may listen to a doctor. You can also let her know that whatever you are going through, it isn't her fault. :)

My mother has leukemia, and ALOT of other health issues. Her thyroid doctor ( i think ) told her to lose weight and just the other day her heart doctor said she needs to lose weight. Diabeties runs in our family, and i am looking out for her and my own health. She is not to motivated to lose weight, even though each day she says shes fat. She about 5'8" and around 200 pounds i'm guessing, and i'm 5'9 at around 180 lbs. We both need help losing weight, i exercise, she doesn't. Do you have any tips for me losing weight, mainly in the thighs and WAIST, and any tips for motivation for her.
i want to lose about 20 sum pounds by around march. (link)
|
I agree with the Lovedoctor. Find something you both enjoy doing, even if it is just walking, and do it together. Motivate each other.
Keep in mind that if mom is way out of shape you will have to start slowly.

ok i no theres like a zillon ocd posts but i really need help with this.
i think i have ocd i have to count everything and touch everything 5 times until its perfect and i think if i dont touch it i will die. i no this is stupid and yaa and like if my shoes arnt right i have to fix them, but my mom doesnt believe that i had ocd shes like if you did then the teachers or the doctor would of pointed it out. what do i do? (link)
|
The ONLY person who can diagnose an OCD is a doctor.
In order for the doctor to tell you weather or not you are is to tell him what you are doing. Just getting a physical or something will not tell him/her a thing.
So, go to a doctor and explain to him/her what you are doing that makes you feel you might have an OCD.
Also, teachers can't diagnose anything either...though some think they can. :)
