Very helpful tool :D

only search advicenators.com

advice

lately i've been getting angry. and i don't mean a little angry like itll pass. but i mean angry as in i get so angry that i hit things, throw my phone, and i have the urge to kill my mother with a knife or kill myself. i'm usually a calm person but now it seems like im mad about everything. im on a pill medication for my acne called doxycycle or something could that be the reason? please help i dont like feeling like an animal

here look at this

http://www.wikihow.com/Special:LSearch?fulltext=Search&search=anger

also try finding the sorce of your anger. like do you get angery when your mom talks to you or if you mess up. then use a form of stress ball instead of hitting things. I also find going into the bathroom and locking the door to release anger. (since there isnt anything there so i can truely be alone and calm down).

anger is a terrible weakness that everyone has. It can lead to horrible things. Please try your best and be patient with yourself and others.

good luck.

i have trouble dealing with embarrassment. like if i do something that i find even slightly weird, it'll haunt me for weeks. for example, at my school they were walking around interviewing people about april fools jokes, so i randomly walk up to them after my friend and told them, which after i felt like a complete loser because idk i thought i looked weird or whatever. so part of me is like, come on its nothing! but then the other part is like, wow im embarrassed. so what is a good way to deal with embarrassment?

thanks :)

try laughing it off. for example when you are watching the clip laugh or smile when you see yourself. this way other people will see that you don't care and they won't either.

it is hard to stop being embarrassed but you can do it.

Hey, I'am a Advicenator I was wondering how can you get a cool background with out a paid account!
I keep doing my columns over and over again to make it look good but it just doesn't!

Thanks in advance ,
Faith42:)

well, first it all depends on your definition of a cool background.

but the trick is to choose a background but also fit your text color and other things to go with it. I mean i don't havea paid account but, my column looks fine. it took alot of work, though. I had to experiment with all these different looks. It is just going to take sometime.

Also I would suggest looking/browzing to other people's cloumns and if you like someones design ask them what they did to set it up. then you can model your like them. it takes time.

Good luck!

(14, female) i always have a really hard time explaining this...so anyways, in between my boobs there like this little dent type thing. it dips in a little instead of just going straight down. i cant wear the "triangle top" bikinis. its called a concave chest. i know boys that have it but usually no girls have it. Whenever i have a boyfriend im so nervous about them letting them touch my boobs, or taking my shirt off for them cuz im like what would they think!? what would boys think? i mean, what should i do?

you are too young to think about these things. forget about them. it might fix itself in the future but ignore it for now.

ok so my guyfriend and i like playing games and we usually talk via facebook message so it's a pretty fast response, not as fast as IMing though. so we often play word association games (if i say "apple" what's the first word that comes to mind?") and we have threads of just word after word. and truth or dare becomes hard because we can't think of good questions to ask each other. we've also tried playing would you rather? but that also gets hard because we couldn't think of good ones.

does anyone have any ideas for what kind of game to play with him?

please note, it's only online and we've had awkward situations in the past about us liking each other but now we're DEFINITELY just friends. so no awkward sexual questions please! also please explain how to play the game in case i'm not already aware of the rules

well here are some good would you rather questions so you can actually have fun with that
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=would+you+rather

there is this game i know that is really fun
-what you do is first you choose a theme or topic (ex. food) then you can say a word and then he would have to say a word in the fruit catagory that begins with the last letter of what you said. (ex. you say "apple" he says "egg" you say "grapes" he then says "sandwich" etc)its fun especailly in the end because it gets harder.

me and my friends also play rhyming games
-so just say "cat" then he says "hat". this is fun aain when you keep going and it gets harder.

thats all i can come up with for the time being. if you need more just drop the question in my inbox :)

especially for comebacks, does anyone have any tips on how to be witty?

well you have to remember that sometimes things like comebacks come out of your mouth without you thinking about them, that's why they are funny. (i am good at that) just remember not to do stupid stuff like "your mom" or other things.

does anybody know any tips on how to memorising

http://www.softlore.com/memtips.phtml?slrid=x

http://ezinearticles.com/?What-Is-The-Best-Way-To-Memorize:-Tips-For-Retaining-Information&id=350809

http://academic.cuesta.edu/acasupp/AS/209.HTM

it all depends on what you are trying to memorize.
if it is a vocab word in English or another language, writing 7 times or more help to memorize it.
If it is a passage, break it down. Say it to yourself over and over. take breaks between memorizing so it gives a chance for your brain to rest and absord the info.

I've got a minor cold, and I need help or advice to 'cure it overnight'. Or just, make it better overnight.

Any ideas anyone *sniff*

drink lots of fluid, medicine and above all REST! rest is very omportant when your body is ill. It needs that rest to get better.

I used to be best friends with this one girl (morgan). We were like sisters, inseperable. But then she got all snotty and i didn't like her attitude. So i just ignored her and eventually we stopped talking. (I never told her "I dont want to be friends with you) Now, we sometimes see each other and she says Hi to me and i dont want to be rude so I say Hi back. Occasionally we have small talk like "hows it going? whats new in your life?" but nothing big.

Now i'm starting to remember all of the good times we had together and how much different my life is since she is no longer a part of my friendship. I really miss her being around me! I'm starting to consider being friends with her again. I have her cell phone number so i've been texting her more than usual lately and we are sorta becoming friends again.

But now here's the problem (actually 2 problems)

1. my other best friend (sarah) dislikes this girl (morgan). But sarah has some friends that I dont like either so i'm thinking to myself "if she can have friends that i don't like, why can't i have friends she won't like?" so is this a good idea or what?

2. my parents got worried when i told them that morgan and i don't talk that much. They are always asking me why we arn't friends anymore and I tell them that its her attitude that bugs me. But now that we are sorta talking again, I don't know what I should say to my parents. I don't want to be all like "oh ya, morgan and I are best friends again" and they'll be like "why's that?" and i don 't want to explain to them that i missed her. what should i do?

thank you for taking your time to read this and answering!

invite her to something. like to the movies of something light.
then you can see how she feels because of her answer (if she says yes or no and how she went about it)

as for your parents just simply tell them that high school is complicated and you make friends and loose them. Its a part of life. and things go the way they are supposed to be.

good luck with your "friend" and parents

i have a disection coming up and i have a reealllyyyyy weak stomach! Im so scared that im gunna like throw up or something..
Is there any tips on how to overcome this???

(please dont say like "skip it" or something like that, and also we're not allowed to do a computer disection)

Thanks:)

okay well i have done dissections myself (frog, pig) and i know how you can help yourself from not being squimmish.

First when you get the animal look at it and take deep breathes. Think about if you will be able to touch it or not. If not, then try not to.
Tell your teacher you have a weak stomach just as a head note.
During dissection talk to your partner on how you feel and help him/her out in other ways so s/he does not feel like they are doing all of the work.
And don't be afraid to leave the classroom when you feel squimmish. Breathe through your mouth.
Lastly, stop thinking about it. The more you will the more nervous you will be. Relax. It won't be that bad. :)
It will be okay.

Hi... I'm a guy and I'm 15, and I really need advice on how to deal with the situation I'm in. For the past few years now I've been moving schools, and starting over with making new friends and building a new social life. I'm popular at school and I'm really good socially, and now when I move schools, about after 2 months I start to get popular, but right now I'm in the 9th grade, and I'm moving schools again. I don't like the school I'm at right now because it's private, and the social life sucks there. I was popular earlier in the year, but now not as much because I don't even try anymore, and people have kind of forgotten about me. But now I'm going to a knew school next year and I'll be in the 10th grade. It's a public school, which is more what I'm used to. There are A LOT of kids there, and it's the best public school in the state. I'm worried about going there though because I realize that every time I've moved before, I've had some kind of friend or connection before the school started. This is a totally new school, and even though I've picked up some really good social skills, I was home schooled before I started moving around public schools, so I don't know if I can handle going to a new school with no connections at all! There are so many things I'm worried about, like for example, where do you sit at lunch on the first day of school? I really want this to be the last time I move schools, and I want to do a good job of fitting in. Also, in the mean time I'm worried because every year my social skills get better, but I haven't really got to improve this year at the school I'm at. None of the kids have very good social skills, so I'm not challenged, and haven't really gotten to improve at all on my social skills this year. Please any advice you have I want to hear., sorry this was so long.. thanks,

Hello, right now you are getting advice from a person who was in your situation a lot of times. You see, i have been moving alot too. But i had moved from the Central US and around that area (same time zones) like 8 times but last year i moved all the way West. Where there is a two hours time difference. I knew absolutly no one (i moved at the end of summer so i had no chance to meet anyone). This scared me because i was going to be a junior. But i went to school on the first day (missed the bus) and ended up meeting one of my best friends who showed me everywhere. What i did was put my social skills in order (you know what i mean, say hi to people, smile etc). But, it took me two days to find a good lunch table because i knew no one. But know i sit there everyday with my awesome friends. I still make friends.

The point of the long rant was to say that you will be okay. You know how to act in a new school and even if you know no one you will still be able to get around and make friends. The only thing i will say is not to stop trying to get to know people and don't fret when you don't meet the right people. Don't worry about social groups or anything because yo might find it hard to move in (where half the kids have known each other since preschool) make friends with people you think are nice and fun. Forget being popular and concentrate on making friends who you will be happy with.

Good Luck!

Hello everyone.

Recently I've gotten contacts, and it's been about three weeks and I'm still not thrilled about my appearance. I know I'm really bad at adapting to change, and here's the major issue: so is the guy I like. He'd say that I didn't look bad and that it's just a new look he'd have to get used to.

During the weekend he called me and asked if I felt we had something between us. He asked if we were more than friends, and I finally told him that I liked him. I was so excited he brought it up, I mean, I thought he was gonna ask me out! But...he called to say that he felt that way about me, but he wasn't sure anymore and he couldn't explain it and he's very sorry.

So now I'm thinking that it's because I don't have my glasses and it does sound kinda crazy but before I got them he and I were so close and now, he rarely looks me in the eye. He says he's sorry and I'm not blaming him, I'm just looking for any second opinions on the glasses thing.
Thanks so much!

ask him. you will find out for sure.

Well,my question is how can you tell if someone likes you???Because my crush always shows that he likes me but Im not sure.For example,whenever I sit in front of him on the bus he stares at me for a long time.I keep thinking that he wants to tell me or ask me something but Im not sure.He also has "mood swings".Like one day he will be nice to me and then the next day he will be mean to me.Please tell me if he likes and tell me all of the signs that he likes me??!!!!THANKS!!
