Well, nice things could be about a particular characteristic of her. Maybe she's very equanimous. Perhaps she is very helpful and does great things for others. She could be devoted and loyal, outgoing and confident, sensitive and compassionate, the life of any party, wicked intelligent and wise, or something else. Or it could be something more superficial -- maybe she has gorgeous eyes or perfect hair, a great complexion or a killer body.

And things I can say about my best friend... Well, my best friend is incredibly intelligent. She's witty and at times reminds me of Loralei Gilmore (from Gilmore Girls), which is a trait I'd love to possess. She is a loyal friend and can read me better than almost anyone else.

A pep rally is an assembly of sorts before fall/winter/spring homecoming games. It's a great way to encourage school spirit and go crazy. Cheerleaders may do routines and stunts, the school band may play music, and the sports teams are introduced. It's a lot of fun!

As far as avoiding drama ... Well, I'd like to think I live a pretty drama-free life. I've experienced bouts of drama and stress, but overall my life tends to be calm.

Know who you are and who your friends are. This is key -- true friends won't create unnecessary drama. Don't abandon these friends for the popular group. If you hear gossip, stop it. Tell the person that you do not care and that if they truly cared, they would confront the gossipee. Avoid fights and arguments. They're a major cause of drama. It's okay to tell someone you have had enough and just walk off. Really, don't lie. And don't tell your secrets to people you don't trust. This seems obvious enough, but it's a mistake people make. Your true friends won't spill these secrets, but fake friends will.

Also, be positive. Negative people let drama get to them. And write down your feelings. If you keep them to yourself, they'll just continue to bother you. Unfortunately life isn't drama-free. But if you stay true to yourself and confront your feelings, high school will be great.

That's definitely a difficult thing to get used to. After all, he seemed to be romantically interested in you, and then after you broke up you found out he wasn't interested in the opposite sex at all. It sounds like the two of you still have a pretty good relationship, since he did tell you he's gay. All you can really do is continue to be his friend. Luckily the hurdle of accepting homosexually isn't there -- since you do have friends who are homosexual. Could you imagine it if you were closed minded and didn't accept anything except heterosexuality? Keep that in mind. Yes it will take some time getting used to, but eventually that time will come.

By the way, I dated a guy for a few months when I was a 7th grader and he came out two years later. He didn't tell me this himself, but I do understand what you must be feeling.

The way you're feeling is completely understandable. You've had to deal with so much, more than anyone should have to endure. It would be ideal for you to visit a therapist. Since you're short of funds, why not consider your school counselor? Also, look into your insurance cover plan if possible. It may cover psychiatric care, even if it doesn't cover the medication.

Telling those you live with can be the most difficult thing to do. You may feel like a disappointment, or you may feel ashamed. Look past this. Realize that they care about and love you -- why else would you be living with them? Sit them down one night and explain that you love them, but you have some major hurts from the past. Unfortunately, they haven't subsided, and you feel like you would benefit from seeing a professional. You don't need to tell them about the cutting right away if you don't feel comfortable.

There are a few things you could do in the meantime.
1) Keep a journal if you don't already. It can just be on MS Word with a password lock. There's a free program I use called "My Simple Friend" located here: (http://www.ingeletek.com/sfriend.html). Writing out your thoughts will be a form of therapy. Every time you cut, write it down. Talk through your feelings. Ask yourself how you felt before you cut, if you tried to stop yourself, how long you waited, how you felt during and after cutting. And about the anger, write down every episode.
2) When you become angry or feel the need to cut yourself, distract yourself. Write your feelings down, communicate your feelings to someone you trust, remove anything sharp that you could use to cut yourself with, and identify your trigger -- what exactly caused you to become angry or want to cut just now? You may consider becoming another person during an episode. If you feel the urge, become your alter-ego, and try to counsel yourself.
3) If you are struggling, find a high-impact activity. Go running, kickboxing, etc. You'll find that you feel a minor pain due to muscle usage. This may or may not be your fix for self-harm. But in this case, you're making yourself fit!

Lastly, I am a psychology student, but I am by no means a professional yet. What I have told you comes from the training I have received and research I have done/experienced (a close friend of mine used to cut). I hope you can see someone who will help you, because what you're going through isn't something that you or your body deserves. Let me know how you do!

People don't necessarily see that you've joined. Those with a lot of active friends will often have so many status updates in their feeds that they won't even bother to check them all out. And since it's been 3 months, that notice is long gone.

Instead of feeling bad, try adding people. Add friends you hang out with, people you eat lunch with, classmates you've clicked with.

When I started with the whole social networking scene I wasn't sure what to do. I was self-conscious about adding people because I didn't want to be rejected. But you know what? I found that I wasn't rejected by people and that as time went on and my friend list grew, I became more confident as a person. It helped me see just how connected I am to other people. Plus, receiving comments from friends from time to time is a sort of reassurance that people care.

So like I said, don't feel bad. I doubt many people if anyone realize that you have an account. Once you start adding people, your appearances in feeds will increase. And THEN people will see you have a facebook and I'm sure you'll start receiving friend requests too!

Technically you still lied. However, I think that repairing over 50 homes before school would be a great step. In fact, that's probably the best step you could make at this point. Admitting to what you did would be very honest and arguably the right thing. However, at most only one person could gain something out of that opotion (the person who takes your place with the scholarship). By making up for the lie by repairing 50 homes, you'll help, well, 50 families. Plus, as a fringe benefit, you'll still be able to get the education you desire.

So, yes, I think that you should take the route that you described above. And learn from this -- next time take the actions you describe BEFORE you talk about them. =]

I agree with the suggestion to use a picture of the two of you, or of just you. If that's not a possibility, there are a bunch of images on the Google Image Search. I simply searched "romantic picture" and found some great ones. Below is the link to the search results for your convenience:
http://images.google.com/images?q=romantic%20picture&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi

Another idea would be to search for a picture of a romantic symbol. Some objects with a romantic connotation include the Eiffel Tower, roses, love birds and doves, hearts, and so on.

I think that you have a right to be angry. After all, he's your best friend and is abandoning you for someone else. While I don't think it would be normal for him to continue speaking to you as much as he did pre-girlfriend (because a girlfriend is a major commitment), going from 24/7 to once a week at best is a huge step down.

You should ask him if he wants to hang out. Let him pick the day, time, and place. And when you're together mention that you miss hanging out so often. Chances are he's so wrapped up in the moment with his girlfriend that he hasn't had the chance to realize just how little time he has spent with you.

One of my best friends started dating her current boyfriend over three years ago. It was difficult for me to deal with not having her constantly with me anymore. But when I told her I missed hanging out, she said she felt the same. So we decided to devote a specific time twice a week when we would go out to dinner, hang out, etc. just the two of us.

Basically, now that he has a girlfriend things will be different. But that doesn't mean that he should ignore you. Talk to him. I wish you the best. (and I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm babbling!)

I did a little "googling" (using the term "tune up cost") and discovered that the price of a tune up can very greatly.

The lowest I encountered was $30, and the highest was $250. This is due to several factors, to include the extent of the tune up and what exactly is done during it.

I found a few websites that should help you figure out your cost:
http://www.trustmymechanic.com/htmlmessage4.html

You could look into ...
1) U.S. Trade with Colombia - McCain supports this trade and was going to go there to express this support.
2) Health Care - This along with social security are probably always going to be current issues
3) What about some recent Congress bills? For example:
- The Higher Education Act of '65 programs have been temporarily extended
- More here: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/
4) You could also look at the democrat and republican platforms. See what issues seem to be "hot topics" and build from there.

That's not true. There are several types of vibrato: arm, hand, and finger. Professional musicians play using any of the three, and many utilize all three, depending on what they feel is necessary. For example, finger can used in higher positions when there's not much room to move the wrist or arm. I tend to use hand vibrato mostly, but I will break out the arm vibrato when I have long, sustained notes.

Keep in mind that none of the types of vibrato are "natural" though, and for many strings players it takes months to feel fully comfortable doing vibrato of any type. So really, do what you feel is best. I think it's great you want to try another type of vibrato.

I hope this gives you some insight and helps!

It's perfectly natural to experiment. You're at that age where your hormones are developing. So it's normal to be sexually interested in the same gender. This doesn't necessarily mean you're bisexual or lesbian, though it definitely could.

Also, I've heard and read about people who are such close friends that they do have an attraction to each other, despite the fact that they are not normally attracted to that sex. This is referred to as a "girl crush" of sorts, and could be the case with you.

My advice is to not write off any sexual orientation as "bad." Eventually you'll know if you're lesbian, bisexual, straight, etc. Keep in mind, too, that if you wouldn't engage in sexual activity with a guy, then it's perfectly fine to say "no" to a girl.

Best wishes! I hope this helped.

1) It is normal to feel discomfort until you get used to it. Sometimes people misjudge where to put it in so instead of naturally gliding it in, they'll push against a wall.

2) I never felt discomfort while removing a tampon, but I suppose perhaps you could feel the friction while removing it if it's too big for you or too dry.

3) If the super plus is too big for your hymen, then yes it might hurt. But I'll tell you that I started my period a week before my 17th birthday. And it was HEAVY! I needed a super absorbent plus tampon along with the thickest pad I could find, and that's with changing the tampon every two hours! (It lighted up thankfully) But what I mean to say is that I was able to somewhat comfortably wear a super plus during my first cycle. I think you just have to get used to it!

I hope this helps!

I don't recall that question. I do, however, know where to find the sheet music for the song. Click the link below:

I hope that's what you wanted! If you want the straight-out note names, there's some talk on a form (the link is below) and someone mentions what notes to play.

I would advise you to make a pro-con list. Think about areas such as sports, clubs, academic programs, school ranking, location (distance from home), and other areas of importance to you.

It sounds like you weren't sure if it was the right place for you from the start. So, if you went into the school with that mindset, do you think there's a chance that it affected your quality of happiness there? That happens with me. If I tell myself "this class is going to suck!" usually, it will suck.

Also think about friends. If you have a solid group of friends at your current school, make sure you're ready to leave them and make a totally new group of friends. Friends can play a large role in your school life.

If you were stressed because of a heavy course load, a good solution would be to just lighten it for the next year. Instead of that extra advanced course, why not just take a basic level one?

In the end it is your decision. Only you know what is best for you. But like I said, I'm a big fan of pro-con lists. They're a great tool to help you prioritize! Best of luck.

I'm pretty sure that the yellow is lime and the orange-ish yellow is orange. The link below takes you to a page of freeze pop flavors.

I think that this page should be of use: http://www.freewebs.com/orange-peppers/iconatorprofilecodes.htm ... It provides you with a bunch of different codes to customize your iconator.com profile. All you have to do is replace the capitalized words, such as FONT to the font you want (ie. ariel, tahoma, comic sans ms).

I think that should help you!

Hello. I've seen this question for quite a few days now. I don't know the answer, and wouldn't normally answer a question that I didn't know the answer to. But I'm sure you're dying for some information.

I would suggest contacting Verizon personally. If there is a nearby Verizon store, you could go and ask someone at the counter. Otherwise, go to the address you provided. At the bottom where it asks if the info was helpful, click "no." Then you can opt to contact them. I would do this for you, but I don't know what your plan or location are.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you personally! But hopefully this you'll find the answer soon.
