My name's Ammo and I'm here to give any help or advice on anything that I can. :] Firstly, if you were kind enough to come here and read up on me, I thank you.

I've been through a lot when it comes to relationships and life in general. I've seen and heard many things and have always felt it's nice to be able to share my experiences (both good and bad ones) with as many people as I can in the hopes that I can help others not make the mistakes I've made (and sometimes still make). Who knows, maybe there's a lesson or two I can learn from you as well.

I don't really use chat programs much anymore so e-mail would be the best way to get in touch if you wish to chat but if you really need to chat then I am able to do so via Facebook, Yahoo or MSN. I'm a very social person so don't mind anyone wanting to chat. ^_^

Why is it that most of the time, it's said that girls are complicated? Why not guys because I personally think that they are, if not more, as complicated as us girls.

Truth is both are bad as each other they would just never admit it. :] Guys are always saying how female drivers are really bad... male drivers invented road rage. :/ Girls can be manipulative but guys can use emotional blackmail to get what they want. But either way both sexes are just as bad as the other. There's people in both that can be described as really nice and then there's those in both that can be classed as complete and utter ..... well, I'm sure you get the picture. :]

Guys who say girls are complicated are generally guys who probably had an argument with their girlfriend and then had no idea what to do about the situation or had no idea why she was arguing because they didn't take the time to understand and actually listen. It can be the same the other way round too.

ok, so i like this guy and hes a year younger then me tho, for some reason i like him but he treats me terrible, he talks about me and stuff. His best friend is in love with me, and its kinda weird because me and the guy that i like were friends but now that he found out i like him, he hates me. i cant stop liking him but idk what to do. i see him about 4 times a day and its really awkward, i just want things to be the way they used too. i just need an oppinion. i tried to say sorry to him becuase my friends always like goo "" ooooo" in front of him and like go up to him, so thats why he hates me because of my friends anoying him. i tried to say sorry by a note because i never get to talk to him, but he just through the note away. plz help what should i do??? thxxx

Personally I think you should just ignore him. Eventually he will just come to you when he sees you're not all broken up over him not talking to you anymore. If not then he obviously doesn't care about you anyway so I'd say you should just get on with things and leave them for now.

I see no reason why he should be acting this way with you, moreso that you've actually tried to say sorry for the way your friends are and he just won't listen.

Just leave him to his ignorance and get on with things and if he actually likes you at all he will try and talok to you and fix things. At the present moment though the way he has been with you it seems he doesn't seem to care at all so I think the best you can do is move on. Not saying you should just turn off how you feel about him because no one can do that but at the least you do need to move on. Maybe you'll find someone nicer who actually treats you a lot nicer than this guy is so far.

prom is tonight.
my period ended a couple of days ago, if i decide to have sex will this increase my chances of getting pregnant?
If i do decide to have sex is there something i can take to prevent from getting pregnant like the next morning?
I heard something called the after pill?? what is this? & if this works, do i need a parent to come with me to buy one?

thanks!

I believe the bith control pill takes a few days to kick in but I am not sure on this (I tried to find out for you but my friend was not available when I called her). As for the morning after pill, as far as I am aware here in the UK you don't need to have a parent with you to buy them but they do cost £25 and I think you have to take the pill and ensure it stays there for 24 hours. If you end up throwing up the pill (not sure why but for some reason this is what every one of my mates were told whenever they've brought one) then they would need to buy another, so that's another £25.

If you really are considering having sex why don't you go for the smarter option andmake sure whoever it is you're with wears a condom? To be on the safe side just have a pack on yourself and then make sure whoever the guy is DOES wear it (when you tell them its that or its no sex they put it on real quick I can assure you). It won't make any difference to you as far as how sex feels so you'll only be dong yourself a favour. Also, the pill (morning after or otherwise) won't protect you from any STD's whereas a condom can.

for the past five months i liked my best friend but he let me down time and time again saying that he only wanted to be friends but at the same time led me to believe he liked me as more. and it gave me hope, i always hoped that maybe even a small fraction of him would feel what i felt but no such luck. he did all the kinds of things that any boyfriend would do- note that we never went out- he would tell me ho much he loved me and hold my hand and hug me and just make me feel like the most important girl in the world. a few days ago a friend of mine suggested that he ask me out and so he was going to. he told me that it might not be a good idea because my friends dont exactly like him but i said that it didnt matter to me. the next day he gave me a ring and everyone knew he was gonna ask me out. well then he and i had a talk and he said that he couldnt hurt me anymore and that he only liked me as a friend. so yea it was pretty much the worst pain ive ever felt and its the second time its happened with him.

and yet something inside of me has allowed me to let go and i cant describe what it is or why i feel it. i feel relived and there isnt a worry on my mind. it seems like these five months of depression never existed because im just so happy for no reason i cant explain it. i dont understand how this is posssible. now when i see him i dont wish he felt differently. im not hoping that he lied to me when he said he only sees me as a friend. and today i met this really cute and funny guy that im starting to like now. how can this happen? ive never felt so happy in my life before and its just so amazing. i wanted to let go of him for so long and when i wasnt even trying to it just happened. i cried about him so much and now its just like poof i dont like him anymore. it feels like i just pulled off a mask that i was hiding behind for these past five months. i can be myself and go crazy and be free and happy. can anyone explain this? or am i just going crazy?!? hahahah thanx

I guess it's just one of those things. Maybe him actually telling you straight out how he felt and how he did only like you as a friend was what you had needed so you can let him go once and for all becuase of all the doubt you had from before. I guess it's true when they say the truth will set you free and in your case maybe it did just that. :]

Can't be a bad thing at all either, you're really happy and you've met this other guy as well - it all sounds really good so all I can say is enjoy it. :D

okay so i went out with this guy for like almost a year and we got very sexual, but nvr had sex. and i had to break up with him because he was just way too needy and he basically brought out the worst in me. and we were breaking up and gettin back together alot [all me dumping him, so hes STILL not over it] but neways, we officially stopped everything march of 06. and i did everything i could to get over him but nothing worked. then i went away and saw an old boyfriend [kinda] like he always liked me since we were little and we always had crushs on eachother. but anyways i went away and spend like a week at his house cuz i wanted to see him and he kissed me and we did some stuff but didnt go too far. and i can like honestly picture myself being with him except that he lives like 900 miles away from me. so it kinda sux & its very complicated to explain why things are just very difficult to be like long term with him. but anyways ive started liking [kind of . not sure] a few other guys besides these too. and i just dnt know wat to. because the other guys i like either have a gf. or are like my older brothers friends and theyve known me since i was very little. but yeaa im just not sure if i sure keep trying to continue this relationship with the guy that lives far away. or i just dont know /:

A long distance relationship at your age can be hard especially since you cant just drive over there whenever you want and stuff (heck its hard even at my age coz I'm not allowed to drive, hehe) but that's not meaning that they don't work because they can.

Thing is, you're also young and you will more than likely go through a lot of changes so your preferences in guys may also change so when you're with someone now who you want to be forever with may not be the person you still see yourself with later in life. You're young and have a lot to experience so that could be why you like so many people, it may just be one of those phases.

All I can say though is firstly the guys who all have girlfriends - forget about them. Liking them is okay because you can't jsut turn that off but as for actually going out with them or doing stuff with them, that might be out the question since they are taken already. As for the other ones if they like you as well then by all means you have nothing stopping you from seeing them (dating but not actually going out with) and that way you're still free to date others too and see who you really do like and potentially hook up with if that's what you're looking for.

The guy whos 900 miles away - if you really do like him then see what he says. YOu may not see yourself with him in the long term but for now, if you want to be with him then why not. As I said, you've a lot to experience so yourpreferences and such will change as you go. It's very rare that someone at your agegoes out with someone and then ends up staying with them throughout their life. It happens, just not all that often. Long distance can be a big strain on trust as well because you never know what he might be doing so far away and vice-versa but having been through long distance relationships myself I didn't think bad of them or anything provided there's trust between you both.

ok well i have this x boyfriend miguel...he means so much to me but and he wants to get back with me but i told him dat i dont know if i still like him or what because it was kind of fucked up wat he did b4...so then now he cuts himself and today he saw me walking with my guy friend and my guy friend touched my shoulder and i was playing with him and i said "dont touch me dork!" and then miguel lost control and was like"yeah only i could touch her" and he hugged me all hard and pushed me into the lockers and tried to kiss me...the thing is he smelled like liquor and i asked wat was wrong with him and he said he had been drinking. then he couldnt keep his balance and was still trying to kiss me and since i kept pushing him back he started crying telling me how bad i made him feel and all this crap! i was actually gonna give him the 2nd chance but he treated me like shit in front of all those people and then some guy saw that i was pushing him away and was about to go do something about it. the thing is that i dont know what to do!! what could i do to stop him from doing all dis b/s? i know hes a great guy but hes depending his life on me and my actions and thats just to much for me to handle you know!!
so what do i do so he could stop?
should i go back with him and try to make him realise how bad hes handling things or do i stay away from him?
keep in mind that i want to have fun with people and not have to worry about "cheating" but i would be able to give up my freedom for him because i know how much i can help his situation but.......idk what about my life?=//
help!

Going by what YOU really want, no, I don't think you should go out with him. Mosr so that it would sacrifice what you really want and last thing you need to do is cheat on him because that would just make things worse.

Firstly, him treating you in the way he did, regardless that he was drunk at the time, is wrong. You can't do stuff like that and I can understand why your friend wanted to do something about it becuase when someone doesn't want to do something but someones forcing themselves on them even I would do something about it - whether I know them or not.

This ex seems to think his life is nothing without you but, and I mean no offence to you or anyone, but that's just not true. The thing is he needs to realise that himself instead of you having to mother him and be with him just for him to realise that. It almost seems he is doing all of this in the hopes you will come running back to him like some kind of mind game of emotional blackmail. One of my friends had this exact same thing happen to her and she stayed with her bf at the time for well over 3 years before she finally just cracked. Another guy put a gun to his kids mother and then when he was arrested (and faced a jail sentence) he called her up and let the water works pour out saying how much he loves her etc, etc and through emotional blackmail managed to get her to drop the charges. :/ What he's doing with you seems no different. I think you need to tell him to sort his stuff out and make it clear that grabbing you whenever he wants and then trying to kiss you isn't behaviour you will put up with. No one should have to put up with that.

Simply staying away from him may not work because is he sees you again it may just happen again so you may need to talk it out with him and make it clear where you stand and that he needs to sort himself out. By all means help him but by going out with him just to help him will in my opinion just hurt him more in the long term especially when he finds out it was the only reason you went out with him and it wasn't because you actually want a relationship with him or if you love him. It may do more harm that good.

I have the website http://theymos.com , which offers free web design. I get a decent amount of hits, but very few requests for web design. If you were looking for free web design, is there anything on my site that would turn you away from it? Of particular interest is my request form, http://theymos.com/recieve.php , which seems to be a popular exit point; is there anything unappealing with the form? Thanks much,

Theymos

One immediate downside I noticed was the font colour - it's a little dark especially on the black background. Just a suggestion that a slightly lighter colour might be kinder on the eyes.

I think the form looked okay but you may want to give more detailed information on what people need to do when it comes to having you design their site for them. Have to bare in mind many people who use your service will be those who are new to HTML and web design and such so would prefer things kept basic.

Other than that I think it looks fine. It may just be people who are curious who left at the form page - chances are the number of hits you get compared with the number of people requesting sites will increase. :]

To cut a long story short theres this guy i work with and at first we were really close and he was txting me loads. we started goin out even though he has a girlfriend. me and this guy hav done stuff, my friend has started working with his girlfriend and now he has put cold water on our relationship. he sed that it cant continue any longer, but then sends me txt msgs and when were on our own its great, we secretly meet up which is exciting.... but im confused, i feel hurt and jealous. i think i need to get over it but dont know how. please advise me on what to do??

Getting right to the point - you don't need anyone here to tell you what you need to do - you already know what you have to do and that's put a stop to this or carryon and get hurt.

I seriously doubt he will get rid of his girlfriend and eventually when he's either had enough of you or when his girlfriend starts to get too close he will just turn his back on you and leave you standing there cold. All you seem is a bit of fun for him and if that's all you want and you have no problems with helping him cheat on his girlfriend by all means carry on but if any of those do bother you then you ned to tell him it's stopping now.

You probably feel hurt and jealous because you know deep down out of you and her he will run back to her anyway (like he already tried to do once by saying it needs to stop) or maybe because you know you are justa bit of fun for him - I don't really know. Either way though the only way you'll get over him is by firstly telling him it IS going to stop now and then sticking to that. If he texts you flirtatious messages ignore them or text him back telling him to flirt with his girlfriend and not you. This guy is just looking out for himself and as much as I don't like that you're an accomplice to what he's doing to his girlfriend I hate guys like him even more - you can do better.

Guys like this are scum - why get into a relationship if you can't do a simple thing like stay faithful. People like him are what give all guys a bad name.

My best friend was raped about 2 months back, she didnt tell me about it,i found out from my other best friend. i was hurt that she didnt want to tell me but just got on with it cos she was obvisouly going thruogh a hard time. anyway another of my friends told me best friend that i knew, there was a big argument and no its all out in the open. its better but i feel really awkuard in front of my best mate and dont no what i can say or cant. has anyone got any advie, i wud really appreciate it.

It's a sensitive situation because some prefer to just try and carry on like nothings happen and don't want people to be all weird around them becuase it would make them feel uncomfortable. But on the other hand you don't want to seem like you don't care at all becuase that may equally be hurtful to them.

She probably felt uncomfortable telling you (more so that you're her best friend - it's happen to me as well when one of my friends told me instead of telling her closest and bestest friends) but pretending that you don't know anything (when she already knows that you do)may not be a good idea since she already knows you know. So, talk to her. Just tell her you know what happen and that you're there for her whenever she wants you, if she wants to talk about it. Let it be her choice and then when she's ready and if she wants to talk about it she will just come to you on her own accord. Pretending that you dont know anything about it would just be wrong because she may start wondering why are you putting up this fake front like you don't know anything when she's already been told that you do - it would just do more harm than good.
I think as long as she knows you're there for her and are still her best friend it will make her feel more comfortable. She may seem to think she's lost some of your respect for her because of what happen so the reassurance that your still her best friend and are there for her will do some good. Other than this though try to help her get through this hard time by just being her friend. Obviously be careful about what you joke about and such but don't there's no reason to be awkward around her at all as it is the very reason she may have not wanted you to know what happen.

So some friends and i are thinking of a school prank, nothing damaging or something that would ruin anything but what are the consequences if you got caught on school property? Or if your caught in the act, what would the legal cosequences be? Were 15 if it helps.

I would think it will all depend n a number of things such as where you are (UK or USA), what the prank was, whether or not it's during school time etc, etc, etc.

As for getting caught on school property (I'm guessing you will be doing this after the school has closed) would be trespassing on private property so you'd probably just get a caution or escorted home by the cops. To be honest I'm not really sure though. Best thing is to just play it safe and whatever this prank is, to make sure it won't cause any harm to any person as well as property.

Oh, if your found trespassing the school may even decide to take action against you with a fine and, if you go to the school, with a suspension.

ok so my name is stephanie and i want to make my own website i am 15 by the way. like i want one that is like this www.stepahine.com is this possible? like u know how google has this also? and yahoo and every celebrity does also. i dont want a myspace or picaso or freeweb. becase i dont want someone to go to www.myspace.com/stepahine becase thats basically myspaces website not my own. so is this possible like making my own websites thats only about me and with that adress?
thanks!

Hi stephanie.

Having your own site is very much possible (I currently have two and am looking to register and make a few more). I did a quick search for you through the company I have my web site with and, I'm guessing you had meant www.stephanie.com (and not stepahine.com) is not available to use because it's already being used (or registered) by someone else. The thing you have to remember is that most first names will have been already registered by now (especially the popular domains like .com, .net, .co.uk and such).

You may want to try including your second name in there as well and then try again to see if it comes up with anything that way? So that you can experiment and search yourself, go to https://www.34sp.com/domains (this is the company I use for my web site registrations and domain space since their customer service has been extremely awesome) and once there just type into the box the name you want to see is avaiable then hit the red 'REGISTER DOMAIN' button. This will do a check for you to see if the name you're after is available to use (and will list the same name for allt heother domain types as well such as .co.uk, .net, .org etc).

Once you manage to find one you want to get send me a message to my inbox and I'll give you some help on what you'll need to do and the things you'll need to consider and think about when deciding which company to buy from since you will also be needing domain space (in addition to buying the domain name) where you can create your web site. Just to clarify as well... 'domain name' refers to the name of the site you want (stephanie.com, stephanie.co.uk, stephanie.net etc) and the 'domain space' refers to space on a server where your web site pages and files will all be stored and kept. These are all the pages and files people will see when they go to your domain name on the internet.

Basicly you will need both domain name and space so you will need to bare in this in mind when deciding what company to go with since prices can vary from one to another. My site costs me roughly £38 for the first year (£20 for a .com name which is valid for 2 years and £18 for a basic hosting package which is valid for 1 year) but these prices vary a lot from one company to another. I'll help you look around if you'd want too. :]

22/f
OK I met this great guy recently. We are kinda together but not really official. All we have is kissed a bunch. Problem is we live far apart. like 2 hours. We met at a club that is an hour away for each of us so that is the only time we really get to see each other because of work or he is in college. I have once surprised him by driving 2 hours to see him in a show he was performing in. He was really happy to see me and talked for hours. We just really click. or so I thought. well I got to see him last Saturday at the club and we were having lots of fun and everything. as it was time to go he was walking me to the car and I said, "One of these days you are going to have to come up to (my town) one time." hoping for anything like a "soon I will come up" or a maybe, even if it wasn’t true. But all I got was " no I don’t think so, it is so far away, and gas is too expensive." It kinda hurt my feelings. Like this was the only time we would see each other. I am feeling like i should not pursue this too much if I am the only one that wants to make a sacrifice for us to be together. am I wrong? Or do you think with what I said kinda scared him off, which shouldn’t be hard because we already live so far away from each other. I know I should talk to him about it but i am not sure how to bring it up in a way that wouldn’t cause to much heat and drama. Can you please help me with this predicament. I don’t want to end it but I don’t want to feel like I have to be the only one to make it work. In my experience it does not work like that. What should I do??

I agree, it doesn't work that way. I've always seen relationships to be a two way road - both sides give and take. That's how it work and is generally the only way it does work so if he's not willing to do that much to meet you half way (excuse the pun) then it may just not be worth persuing or at the least, not putting all your hopes on this one guy.
Talking to him might help a little as well but I don't know, he may have a lotof reasons why he will not wantto get too involved (distance being one and then work and such). I don't think hours is all that bad when one of my ex's used to live a good 4 hours awayor so and used to cost me bomb each time I went to see her (which would always be for a weekend at least because otherwise the money I spent on going all the way there would be pointless since I'd only be there an hour or so). I suppose one way to bring it up might be to ask him where this thing with you both might be heading, if anywhere, and just go from there. I'd say you have a right to be able to ask before it gets too far and all for nothing.

how is cum healthy to swallow??

I've heard a lot of rumours about how it is and all that crap but to be totally honest with you I've yet to see a half reputable finding/fact to say that it is healthy in any way.

Cum, or semen, is made up of fluids and sperm, that's pretty much it. Also, viruses can be present in the semen (hepatitis B and HIV to mane but a few) and if these come into contact with any open cuts or sores in the mouth they could cause an infection. Because of this risk of infections you may want to avoid getting semen in your mouth anyway or use a condom or some other form of barrier.

You may also want to check this site out for some further details and reading but note that I have no idea how reputable the information there is. For all we know it could be writtenby a bunch of guys who just like getting blow jobs since I've not really looked through the site or anything. :/ But I thought I'd pop it on here regardless.

Hey. I'm thirteen, female. Don't get me wrong, I despize labels more than anything in the world, and I try not to use them, but for this question, I think they're the only way someone could understand. I used to be really really really 'preppy'. And like I only got clothes from Abercrombie and Hollister, and I was literally afraid of hot topic. And I labeled everyone and I never wore black, always pink. Now, I really like the 'emo' stuff, rather than the 'prep' stuff. See, I tried just wearing what I like, and doing what I like, ect. But, then I got in a HUGE fight with like 4 people and all of them told me I was 'fake' and a 'poser' when I was just doing what I wanted, and they told me to be myself, when finally, I was. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't like preppy stuff anymore, but everytime put an 'emo' quote in my profile, my friend always copy&pastes it and asks me about it, like, 'who's that to' or something, you know, just giving me a hard time about it. She thinks she's so much 'smarter' than me becuas she's in 8th grade and I'm in 7th. I really don't know what to do anymore. Please help me, I do rate.

all of them told me I was 'fake' and a 'poser'

how do you get over someone? I mean, it's been amost two months since i've seen him and I miss him so much & we never even went out!!! Sometimes I just think about him and get sad because i miss him so much..
Is this normal?!?! I hate this. It's pathetic!

Yup it's normal. Everyone in your place hates it too and yup it might be considered pathetic but... that's life. :] That's the price everyone pays though when they decide to like/love someone.

As for getting over someone - there's one very simple answer and that is - time. That's the only way and sometimes it can take a very long time but time is the only real healer when it comes to something like this. That and having the courage to step forward and get on with things. It's really all you can do, sorry.

ok well.. i met this guy in a chat room....turned out to be my friend..then i liked him, and i could totally tell that he liked me.. he sent me a pic...i believed it was him. he has seen many many pics of me and on my myspace too.. and he has myspace but anyways. I talked to his friend and she told a lot of lies on him... and that night our relationship got rocky *we were dating* and then i called him for the first time with my phone right? he apologized and the only lie that was true was about the pic. so he ended up showing me himself on webcam 3 or 4 times. we talk a lot on the phone and he doesnt get much pay, hes only a teen...but he buys phone credits and calls me and thats a lot of money since hes on minimum wage. im trying to make this sound blunt cause i dont want u guys to hurt my feelings.. truth is... we're mushy lovey dovey with each other..and tells me some deeply sweet extremely romantic things. and i tell him those same quality meaning things back. we talk a lot on the phone and i know hes real....he puts my display pic on and says he loves me on his msn...and i do the same...so well, i just gotta say..what do you think of my relationship??? *i tried not to be mushy gushy cause i dont want my feelings hurt by u guys*

Who is anyone else to judge. :] If you really do like this guy (and vice-versa) then by all means go for it.

The only thing I will say is this though: firstly, be careful becuase if he had lied about one thing then he is very capable of doing so about other things too (I know you both say how much you love each other but love often makes us blind to these kind of things). He may show everyone online he loves you and such but what he does when he's not online with you is stuff you don't know about so that's yet another thing you will need to think about especially since he's already lied to you once. The other thing is thinking about where you both want this relationship to go. You both obviously don't know each other in person and are limited to an online/distance relationship and there's only so many things you both can do online (you can't go out together or go to movies and all that jazz) and you both obviously can't keep seeing each other over the net forever (even meeting up face to face once will not be enough becuase afterwards you're both back tobeing a couple on the net again). It's all something you will need to think about (as well as him too).

Other than that though I'm not thinking anything of your relationship because it's your relationship - not mine. :] If you're happy then it's all good. :P Just know though that eventually those things I said above will come up and may become an issue, they always do. I only say this because I speak from personal experience - have been there and done that all already. :]

Good luck with you both. :]

Ok. So I'm making a short movie for my movie class - the theme is 'survival' and I chose to talk about my Summer of 2006, when I was in Lebanon during the war thing and how I managed to survive by eating only bread for a week, not sleeping, etc.

I started off my movie by quotes. It goes like "And did you go to your bed, with a sweet lullaby, and the sound of the guns in the night?" and then you get these scenes of me, my sisters and mom (who were with me in Leb.) saying "Yes" in Armenian (there'll be English subtitles - I'm Armenian). The scenes for the movie are like ... they will look disturbing and stuff, Ive only included parts of the body and face like hands, eyes, mouth, etc. ANYway, after the first quote and "Yes", comes another quote saying "And did you dance in the fields, or did you run for your life from the hell that came down from the skies?" then again, me mom and sisters say "I was there". Then the quote "On a Lebanese night". Then my movie starts.

Now the quotes are taken from a song by Chris De Burgh called "Lebanese Night". I will not include the song itself in the movie not till the end credits part, just the quote section sung. The movie has to be 5-8 mins long. I want to include music/songs in the movie here and there so it won't be boring to listen to me talking about how I did this and that. So I was thinking about these ideas:

a- Smells Like Teen Spirit (acoustic version) by Tori Amos. Now I have no idea what this songs is originally about but I get a sense of 'war' in it..So I was thinking about using this.

b- My own recording of "Mad World" by Gary Jules on the piano, except I'd make it slower and weirder. No lyrics.

c- "Airport Song" by Guster. To describe what I felt when I left Lebanon and arrived back home all happy and stuff.

I'm not really satisfied with the options I have above...I want music that will go well with my theme. Genre doesn't matter (I've even thought about Zeromancer's "Dr. Online!"), I just want a song or a piece of music that will suit the theme 'survival'.

Thanks in advance. Sorry for making it long.

Hi.

This sounds like it's going to be an awesome video you're putting together - good luck with it. Would be awesome to be able to see it when it's finished if that'll be possible at all. :]

Unfortunently all my main music (thousands upon thousands of tracks) are all on my main PC which I am unable to access at the moment (long story but I need a replacement graphics card) so I had to remember tracks off of the top of my head. I came up with the following short list that you may want to check out. I'm not sure if you're looking for a slow type of song or not so I added all kinds so you can decide for yourself.

Greenday - Wake Me Up When September Ends.
John Farnham - You're The Voice.
REM - Everybody Hurts.
Phil Collins & Peter Gabriel - Take Me Home (or the Phil Collins solo original, which might be better).
Papa Roach - Scars (Acoustic).

Personally I'd recommend REM's Everybody Hurts from that list, it's an awesome track (if you're adding a voice over then you could always fade out the song to a minimum while you speak over it and then fade it back in slowly. ;]

Hope the list was helpful though and good luck with it. If you need any tracks on that list which you can't get hold of let me know in my inbox and I'll sort out a wayto get them to you.

Firstly, are you using Windows Movie Maker to put this video together?

Let me know if you are (reply to my inbox please so I can respond to you properly) and I'll let you know how to add the music to the video you already have (I'm asuming you have already put the video together and just need to add the music now).

I'll upload the music for you to a site where you will be able to download it from. Just send me a reply to my inbox to let me know though if you're using WIndows Movie Maker to put this all together so I can guide you on how to add the music to the movie. :]

So i'm a teenage girl, and I haven't really had a boyfriend since september. I have a pretty face and pretty red hair, but I still can't find a boyfriend.

I was just rejected by 2 people in a row. I feel like I just can't win when it comes to relationships- it always ends up ending before it really begins. What I'll do is I'll plan to get together with someone on myspace (who is always a friend of a friend that i know in person- never a complete stranger) and he'll seem all interested in me- then we'll plan a date: and either I'll go and he won't call, or he'll break the date altogether.

This makes me really really sad and depressed. And I don't know why- but I am not capable of feeling truly happy while being single. I'm actually on the verge of suicide every time I'm single and feeling unloved. I don't really have any friends- at least none that I ever get to see outside of school (exept for talking online). I'll admit- I'm homeschooled and my life really exists only on the internet.

When I go out in public I feel weird- like the only real person in a world full of cartoon people (if that makes sense).

People say I always look depressed all the time, and it's because I am. But I can't really control my facial expression- it's just the way it is. Whenever I try really hard not to show that I'm depressed and I'm smiling- people give me weird looks.

I don't like my life, and I really don't know what's wrong with me.

Why is it that nothing makes me happy unless I'm in a relationship?

I'm sorry you've been having some bad luck with guys but it happens to us all (well, notme coz I'm a guy but with me it happens with girls but I think you know what I mean).

I can understand how most of your frends are online because mine used to be for a very long time as well until my accident when I wasn't able to get online. After that I made friends outside of the internet as well so I've got a nice balance now. I don't go to school or anything like that so Ican't really make any new friends through that way but I do get out as often as I can and there's always opportunities there for new friends or at the very least just to be able to get to know some new people (something I like doing).

What you had said about feeling weird in public and around people - I used to feel like that ALL the time and sometimes I still very much do, it's very strange and I know totally how you feel. Sometimes I even found myself just sitting in a corner and watching people and thinking and wondering but I won't get into all that here. :|

First things first though don't let what happen with those other two guys get you down. Things like that happen in relationships (or when trying to form relationships), there's always that risk. Just don't let it bring your hopes down. At the end of the day it was those guys' loss. They had the chance to be with someone like you and they screwed it up, what fools. :] Others will come but you need to be patient. If you start to get desporate then you will just attract assholes and the last thing I like seeing is someone really nice ending up with someone they can do a lot better than.

Being homeschooled as well means you don't have much contact with people which is not good so I think you should try and get out some more. There must be places you can go to around where you live that you can hang out at and hpefully in the process make some new friends? It was pretty much what I had done to start with. Certainly don't feel unloved or alone because I can assure you that's never the case even though sometimes it feels like it's how it is.

As for people who give you weird looks - to hell with them as well. Just be you but do bare in mind when you feel negative you will give off negative 'vibes' so it will make people less willing to try and talk to you and such because the impression they will get is that you dont want anyone to talk to you. Smile, as you said you do - be friendly (which you come across as are anyway) and just be yourself and pretty soon you'll have more guys wanting you than you can handle. :D Just try not to bring yourself down becuase you're along. I've been alone for just over 2 years now and I really miss the whole being in a relationship and having someone to cuddle up to and go to the movies with and such - just little things like that which I miss. And sometimes it does get me down too but I don't let these things hold me down because I know it won't remain this way. Just have sme faith. :]

There's nothing wrong with you either unless you feel that depression is really starting to get the better of you in which case it might be worthwhile talking to your doctor about it since depression can be a destructive thing. Other than that my only guess with you needing a relationship to feel happy is because of what everyone seeks - companionship; acceptance of who you are. Those things will come though, don't worry.

If you ever need to chat then I know it's only a friend on the net (again) but I'm here anytime. :]
