my familys split up
i live with my dad.
he always yells at me
when i lvied with my mom
she always yelled at me.
i dont know what to do.
it really hurts hwen i get yelled at
i usually have a massive breakdown
what can i do?
-.-
i cant swear infront of my parents.
or ill just get beaten. (link)
hey

this is a serious problem... your parents can't do that to you. try calming talking to your dad about it. maybe ask him what's wrong & if you can help in anyway. he will be more than happy to find out you actually care. i'm sure he doesn't WANT to make you hurt, but he is probably so upset that he takes it out on you.

if you just calmly talk to him about it, i'm sure he will ATTEMPT to stop. don't go near him if he is drunk or has done drugs - he can be dangerous. just go for a shower & ignore him for the time being.

don't swear at your parents - just act calm. if they yell at you, just hold your tears in & stay strong. it WILL pass. if it gets really bad, just count in your mind to ten. really. slowly. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10. & when you get to ten, see if they calmed down at all. if not, just stand there & wait for them to calm down before exitting.

i STRONGLY urge you to talk to a trusted adult about the situation at home (after, of course, trying to talk to your parents themselves). do you have grandparents, an aunt or uncle you can share these problems with? even a school guidance counselor can help.

please get help if it doesn't help trying to talk to them.


Hi I have a very petite body and I just bought these beautiful really wide legged pants that fit nice and snug on my bum. Now my dilemma is what shirt should I pair with it, I dont think I should pair it with a wide top because of the pants, and alot of the the less wide topes arent dressy enough. Do you have any opinions? (link)
hey

well if the pants are loose, wear a tight top. not like, so tight you can't breathe, but a top that hugs your curves. that way, people will not think, "why are her clothes sooooo loose?!"

hmm... well if the pants are plain black, any type of top can go, dressy or casual. i'd suggest definitely NOT wearing a wide top on the top as well. so even if it's a casual, solid shirt, it will look MUCH better than a wide, dressy top. do you get what i'm saying?

it's the same thing with tight pants - tight pants & tight shirt don't always look good. it's like you're popping out of your clothes!

also - if the pants are plaid, or pin-striped, you can DEFINITELY wear a solid shirt, without a doubt. if you have a lace top, that would go perfectly.


next week i am getting a new teddy bear hamster i dont know if it is going to be a boy or girl but if its a girl im namin after my old dog stella but i cant seem to find a boy name....i nedd some help :) (link)
hey

well, most names if you just remove the "a" it becomes more masculine.

in this case, stella can become...
- stell
- stel
- or even stelly

hopefully these aren't too girly :]

i loved my hamsties. they were the best.

i hope you have fun with your new hamster!

will pilates with 3 pound weights bulk me up or slim me down? (link)
It'll tone you


Yesterday, I went to the mall with my Mom. I found a really cute skirt, and a top. When I tried it on, my mom insisted that "they were too tight." This happens ALL the time when we go shopping. Every time I try something on, my mom says, "No, its too tight" or "I think you need a bigger size," when I really don't. Something could fit just fine, and she would still insist that it is too small.

So the other day, I started crying, because she never likes ANYTHING that I try on. Then she asked me what was wrong, and I said, "Apparently I'm fat!" And she goes, "Oh no, you're not fat. The clothes just run small."

Mind you, I am a pants size 0, and I weigh 88 pounds. When I was younger, I used to be kind of chubby. I don't know why my mom does this- I'm trying to decide if it's because I really do look fat, or if its because she thinks I look good and doesn't want me to wear tight/revealing clothes. I am very upset, and lately I've been feeling like I don't want to eat. I decided to give up candy, and I fear becoming anorexic. Yet my mom, (who is not thin) continues to encourage me to eat candy.

Should I say something the next time she does this? I am getting really pissed off, and I feel like shouting, "You're just jealous because I'm not fat like you!" at her. (link)
0 = not fat
up to like 4 is not fat first off

a lot of ppl are saying that the moms just dont want to see their daughter growing up like that, but its more because she has like a jealousy. my mom and me aer both super thin, and twhile if i wear a slutty outfit, she'll get mad, but shes fine with tight as long as not too much skin or celavage is shown... (no shes not like a "regina" mom haha)
i have also experienceed that some fat people are meaner to me, and nicer to other overwieghts

alsooo, you didnt say your age, but honestly i stopped shopping for clothes with my mom at like 11. ask her for some money be like mom could i have 100 dollars or however much and go with a friend


I was just looking through an Italian dictionary and noticed Ciao means hello.

Does anyone know why non-italian people say Ciao when they're saying goodbye if it means hello? (link)
ciao can mean hello and bye (like aloha) and non-italian ppl probably say it becuase they want to say something different instead of saying bye all the time.

okay so your BEST FRIEND tells you that she does not want to be your friend anymore. how would you react? please help me. quickly if possible. thanks... (link)
hey

well first off i'd want to know why. if i messed up, that's my fault. but if i didn't, i'd be really pissed off.

then i'd try talking to her about it. like, can't we meet a simple solution after all that we've gone through?

if she didn't hint at it beforehand, i'd be like, that was random & be even more mad.

if it was something that has been bothering her for a long time, i'd understand.

my best friend doesn't live in my town, & we only talk through email / IM (we hang out sometimes) so there's no possible way for her to get mad at me. i'm assuming that your friend goes to your school. i'd let her cool off first of all. then i'd try talking to her about it. maybe you can reach a solution, or maybe she's not worth your time.

15/f. i'm not even going to post my weight because i know its in the healthy BMI range and then you guys will just tell me that i don't need to lose weight. and i know i don't need to lose weight, that isn't my question. my quesiton is that even know i'm at a healthy weight range and i know that i'm pretty slim, i still have a little fat near my stomach especially around and below my belly button. and i'm so frustrated because i've been doing over 100 crunches a day, and i run on my treadmill a lot and its still there! for the most part i try to eat healthy, but i know i don't always eat healthy.

also how bad is diet soda for you? because i drink one almost everyday and i want to know how bad it is for me and if i should stop.

thanks! (link)
hey

just keep doiong it. what you're donig is absolutely perfect! just keep doing that for a couple more weeks. you have a pooch, right? you say right under your belly button? what you can do is the "twisting crunch"

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Obliques/WtTwistingCrunch.html

that really really helps.

diet soda: don't drink it. it's better to drink regular soda every two days than diet soda everyday. diet soda actually makes you gain weight. regular soda is much, much better for you & tastes better. do it in moderation. it's like this: would you rather have one chocolate every ten days or ten fat-free [ gross ] chocolates everday?


for school i have to write about an event that "broke down a wall" for racism meaning something that like opened new doors and stuff? i can't think of anything! does anyone have ideas? (link)
hey

wow, well, rosa parks & martin luther king jr. came right to my mind.

maybe you could do a little research about how they contributed to their race?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=kMj&q=rosa+parks+achievements&btnG=Search

like especially martin luther king jr.'s speech. that really opened up new doors.


My sister just let me know that our dog, who is really old (around 17) has been in pain and has been having trouble walking/balancing. The other night, she noticed he was crying and that he was lying on his stomach, on all legs (spread across the floor). She took him to the vet today, and he said that since our dog is old, he has pinched nerves and is in pain.. so he gave him an injection (not sure what) and took a blood test. He also has a prescription for steroids. We're going to see how he feels after a while.. if he is still in pain, we may have to put him to sleep.
Anyway, my question is: has anyone ever heard of this, and how common is it? Also, what are the chances that my dog (at his old age) will actually feel better with the meds? I have a feeling we may have to put him to sleep soon :( (link)
my first dog was like that.... we put her on meds but it was to late because she couldnt hear,see, or smell anything if you put a bowl of food in front of her she couldnt even tell it was there :( so we had to put her to sleep but i guess it was good so she didnt have to keep feeling all the pain.

i hope ur dog is ok!!!!!!!

put up fliers and posters around your town, and maybe ask if you can leave some at like the grocery store or wherever so that more people can find out about it.


where can i get a layout for my advice column page? (link)

choose a pic you like from photobucket (search hearts or something)
ORRR
a pic you already have saved froim your computer

for photobucket--copy the pic url into profile setting

if thats unclear just ask me to clear it up a bit!!!


ok my best friend told my other best friend that she was having a sleep over, but she didnt tell me. Then she said that she was going to invite this girl to her party that she dont even like over me. Then my other friend ask what about Kandy and she said ummm she might be out of town which im not. So this heffa gone keep talkin bout the other girl comin instead of me. Should I be mad at the heffa
yes or no and give me reasons why or why not (link)
wow, you sound like someone from over here, in leicester. anyhoo, i think its your choice to be angry. noone can influence an emotion. do you feel angry? i think you do, because you're calling her a heffa, which isnt exacly a compliment. so your allready angry, so you allready answered your own question....sort of.


where can i get a layout for my advice column page? (link)
-click where it says column settings (after you log in)
-above all the boxes with all the colors and everything and it will say "We also have some ready-made backgrounds for everyone here: http://www.advicenators.com/backgrounds.php click on that link
-when you find one you like copy and paste the code into the box that says "page background image (URL)" (the box will b on the column settings page)
-it should show up on ur column.

thanks in advvv. (link)
yea same with my school
i think its more like in high schools hooking up is kissing, but in college it is casual sex
like i have tons of friends that go to other schools, and they also refer to hjooking up as a making out thing
