13/f. I have an incredibly embarassing first/full name. The girls and boys in school laugh when the teacher calls it out (I DEF. go by a nick name) and then they always call me by it, even though i have a nick name, to make me mad. and so they laugh even more. i know not to let them see that it bothers me, but it does so much. and its not just a simple long name, its so long and stupid and i dont know ANYONE else with it. I just feel so different becuase its always on my records and whatnot so i'm forced to use it when i dont want to, and of course poeple hear. what do i do?! im so upset and tired of it.

So, I should put something on it.. So it would help it not get infected?

Yes, you can put antibiotics on it and if it's not too serious, put Alcohol on it. It may sting a little but it kills the germs so it can't get infected.

As long as you care for it properly, it will heal. I recommend going to a local drug store and getting some antibiotics that heal the sore without leaving a scare!

You know the game sissy where you have your eraser and start rubbing your skin really fast with it and the first one to stop is a sissy? well I made a 2 on my skin just for the fun of it I was trying to make my ball number but it hurt to bad.. well will it make a scar? you can see it it's sorta swollen and red it feels like its raw or something..

I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have done that. Yes, it can leave scars as big as tire tracks and yes you can get an infection. How do I know? My friends used to do it and it took months to heal up.

Don't do that. It's dangerous and unsafe for anyone. It's just like taking a lighter and burning your skin with it because of the friction from the eraser.

Plus, don't let your friends pressure you into it. It's not worth being damaged forever for doing a stupid thing.

ok i keep getting these emails from Chase saying my chase bank account has been violated...the only problem is I dont have a chase bank account. Im not even old enough to have a bank account! IM 13! I suspect phishing becuase I got like 6 emails from them at the same time once saying someone tried to acsess my account, and then the first one I got from them saying my account has been violated, they spelled "been" wrong. I have yahoo, and i flagged all the emails I got. What else can I do? I have gotten a phishing email before, from someone claiming to be from eBay. ♥♥&heart;s

Okay, I have the same problem. Their scammers trying to take your money. Do not answer them, just report phishing and delete them.

I am getting them every day now. Go to Chase.com and review some of the emails these scammers have been sending out. Some may not be on there but whatever you get from Chase is a scam because Chase would NEVER ask for your information online.

So just remember, all of those eBay emails and Chase, etc, is scams.

im single and im talking to my ex bf.he is in a relationship and we are talking like were together.I wanna be with him but i dont wanna go back that route, and he claims he loves his current gf.i need help!!!

I'm not trying to sound rude or anything but you need to leave this alone. Don't try to make him break up with his girlfriend because it could lead to major problems between you guys.

Also, don't talk to him like your dating. Talk to him like your friends, just friends. If he starts talking this way tell him no that you want to remain friends only and if it keeps happening don't talk to him at all.

If he becomes single again take your chance. But as long as he's in a relationship. Leave it alone.

Okay, well, I recently tried to install the Sims game on my computer, but it keeps being retarded and it says my computer doesn't have enough memory or hard drive room or something. But we deleted all the things with a lot of room so there's more than enough room for a game that's only 2.06 MG. So what's wrong with it? I really want to play the Sims too. It's my favorite game. And don't reccomend getting a new computer because that's out of the question. And I don't want Sims for PS2 or PSP or anything. Thanks.

Okay, if I'm correct in which I think I might be. Do the same as xomegaroni and also you could have a virus. DON'T PANIC. I could be wrong but most of the time that's what it results to.

Also, it could be the wrong version of the Sims for your computer. What model is your computer?

If you bought the Sims read on the Sims CD or Box and find out the requirements for the game to work. Just check up on all of these things and it should download shortly.

So, me and my boyfriend just bought a house and the previous owners apparently never raked the leaves up, so the yard was full of leaves and trash and various poo's. Yesterday, we just got the last of the leaves raked up, and throughout noticed that there were a few piles of dog poo that weren't there the day before. I didn't think much of it, because I assumed that whoever left it just assumed that since the area was full of leaves and trash, that we wouldn't mind or notice a little "fertilizer".


But, today, just one day after getting the lawn trash and leaf-free, we noticed yet another pile of dog poo.


My questions are...
How can I catch whoever is letting their dog poo in our yard?
And, What should I do to make them stop?

Just so you know, the law in my town is a $500 fine for getting caught for not picking up after your dogs, but no one ever gets caught even though we live 50 feet from the police station.

Whoa, sounds like a major problem. First off are you sure that your neighbors have dogs? If so then ask them about it or it could be a stray.

Another idea is, if you are extremely annoyed with this problem, install a camera for your yard. Simply attach it to your house and it will watch your yard for dogs and plus it catch any trespassers! So you will know which neighbors dog is doing it's business in your yard (that is if you have more than one neighbor).

Tip: Don't go to your neighbors and be like, "Get your stupid dog out of my yard!!" Just politely ask them if they think it's their dog and if it is then there's no problem if they keep it out. If the problem keeps occurring then go to the police and get help.

It could be stray dogs too. Most towns have them and if you see one ask the neighbors about it and if they all say it's not theirs then call the police so they can take them to the pound unless you want to keep it.

That's all I know of to do. Good luck with your problem!

Alright I asked the stylist to cut my hair like this: http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/3274/AshleeSimp_Pimen_5265256_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Simpson,%20Ashlee&seq=7

I even took in a picture and showed her.
What I ended up getting was almost 5inches cut off (its now above my shoulders) and these short looking bangs that barely reach my eyebrows.
What can I do with my hair? It won't all go up in a ponytail, and when it just hangs down it looks terrible. My face is not the right shape for this cut, but theres really nothing I can do to change that. Help!

Okay, those under my answer would work but I wouldn't recommend it unless it looks horrible.

First, you could try to curl it unless you have thick hair like me. Also, you could try different styles. But also remember, you CAN go to a different stylist and ask them what they could do, like the other columnist said.

Oh and I almost forgot. You could get a friend to come over and help you with it. Hey, you could even get your mom. Trust me on this. My mom has messed up my bangs (even though it's your hair) many times and has ended up helping me fix them. Just try different styles!

Good Luck!

I have the same problem with my hoodies. This is what I do:

1. Wash it really good.
2. Dry it in the dryer at the dry cleaners.. If that doesn't work then you can't shrink it. =[

Are we in the twenty-first century? Is it from 2000 to 3000 or 2001 to 3000 or what? I don’t understand the century things.

Yes, we are in the 21 century. Why? Because about every 100 years the century changes. Just like the year 2100, it will be the 22 century. Get it? =]

How do I get this picture I printed out onto a T-shirt?

You have to buy Iron On Paper. Once you get it, use it to print out whatever it is you want to put on a shirt and then once it's printed, get your iron really hot and place the picture on the shirt with the picture facing down on the shirt where you can only see the back part and then slowly move the iron over it.

Then you have your picture!

okay so there is a book called The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. its a really short book and i was wonder if someone can give me a website or write down the story for me (its really short and i cant find it at home). all i know is that it starts with

There once was a tree and she loved a little boy.

ill rate high to anyone who replies.

THE GIVING TREE

Once there was a giving tree who loved a little boy.
And everyday the boy would come to play
Swinging from the branches, sleeping in the shade
Laughing all the summerâ??s hours away.
And so they love,
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.

But soon the boy grew older and one day he came and said,
"Can you give me some money, tree, to buy something Iâ??ve found?"
"I have no money," said the tree, "Just apples, twigs and leaves."
"But you can take my apples, boy, and sell them in the town."
And so he did and
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.

But soon again the boy came back and he said to the tree,
"Iâ??m now a man and I must have a house thatâ??s all my home."
"I canâ??t give you a house" he said, "The forest is my house."
"But you may cut my branches off and build yourself a home"
And so he did.
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.

And time went by and the boy came back with sadness in his eyes.
"My life has turned so cold," he says, "and I need sunny days."
"Iâ??ve nothing but my trunk," he says, "But you can cut it down
And build yourself a boat and sail away."
And so he did and
Oh, the tree was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.

And after years the boy came back, both of them were old.
"I really cannot help you if you ask for another gift."
"Iâ??m nothing but an old stump now. Iâ??m sorry but Iâ??ve nothing more to give"
"I do not need very much now, just a quiet place to rest,"
The boy, he whispered, with a weary smile.
"Well", said the tree, "An old stump is still good for that."
"Come, boy", he said, "Sit down, sit down and rest a while."
And so he did and
Oh, the trees was happy.
Oh, the tree was glad.

Ok, so I was on holiday the other week, and I met a guy. We got on really really well, and talked about everything. All the rubbish going on in each of our lives, and I really trusted him. We got a great friendship going in a week. And we both fancied each other a lot too, everyone there thought we were going out because of how we acted around each other. I told him I have a boyfriend who I've been with 7 months, and we decided it would be too wrong to do anything together, as I love my boyfriend and he didn't want to spoil my relationship.
But in the end, we did kis. Not much but still, we kissed.
I told my boyfriend when I got home, and he was upset, but he forgave me. But I couldn't stop thinking about the other guy, we got so close and I missed him. He only lives a very short train ride away from me, so this week we aranged to meet up. My boyfriend naturally wasn't happy about it, and didn't want me to go, but he said it was up to me. I promised him loads of times that nothing would happen between me and the other guy, and I meant it.
Unfortunately, I lost control and we did kiss. Lots and lots. We both knew it was wrong, and have decided now not to meet alone again.
I've told my boyfriend again, and he says he forgives me (I know I don't deserve it) but it'll take time for him to trust me again. How can I earn his trust back and show him I'm really sorry?

Tell him you made a mistake and that everyone does. Just remember, don't do this again.

But it sounds like to me that your boyfriend really likes you and most guys wouldn't do that. Plus, think of this. If you broke up with your boyfriend and went out with this other guy. He might now forgive that easy. Just be friends with this guy and make it clear to him that you want nothing else.

It sounds to me that you, so far, have a healthy relationship with your boyfriend. Spend time with him. Go out to see a movie; do things together that way he will know that you don't do anything behind his back.

But for what I just said, please use it. I'm sure your boyfriend will trust you again. Good luck.

i definitely know trampolines can be dangerous. But i want one so badly that i've been beging my parents for like 2 years. they still say i'll think about it but then when they do they say no, its dangerous. but i did some research and most of the injuries from trampolines are falling of them, but if you get a GOOOD Safety net, that will solve that problem. and the other injuries are mostly falling on the side where the springs are or landing improperly from doing stunts and stuff. the side has padding on most trampolines and trust me i'm too afraid to do those flips and stuff. how can i convince my parents that i will be extra safe and cautious with a trampoline?

Most trampolines today come with a net to go around it, that way you can't fall off. If you do buy one and it doesn't come with one. Order one online.

Plus, you could tell your parents that it comes with a net for extra safety!

I have always thought it would be a cool idea to have a movie theater that ran only horror movies. It would play new ones, old ones, all the classics (such as Rocky Horror Picture Show). I am just wondering what other people thought of this. Would anyone out there be interested in going to a horror theme theater

It sounds brilliant. Many people like horror movies and I'm sure if you live in a big enough city that you'll get many movie goers.

If I liked them I would go. It definitely seems different. I'm more of a Comedy person, myself. But her, it's your idea and many people like scary movies. Go for it someday!

Hey guys, like you know how what you've searched gets saved on google so if i write in "C A" then "CAT" will appear if Ive searched it before ? Yeah how do you get rid of that so it doesnt save what Ive searched? Is there some way i can make it so that nothing gets saved on other pages too, not only google?


Thaaaank yoouuu!

I'm not sure of what your talking about. I know that Google saves it's searches in the database if you have an Gmail account and your computer saves what you've searched for too. I'll give instructions to both:

How To Delete Your Internet Files:

"Tools" then you go to, "Internet Options.." and then, "Temporary Internet Files" then click, "Delete Cookies".
-----------------------------------------------
How To Delete Google Searches:

Go to YOUR Google homepage (Where you can see news, emails, etc) and look at the 'main' top of the page and click, "Search History", then it will ask you to type in your password. After you do that look on the 'LEFT' side of the page where you see:

Search History
Web
Images
News
Froogle
*Pause*
Remove items

Click, "PAUSE" and then your finished! Sorry about the length because I wasn't sure what you were talking about.

ok i have an advicnator acount and it wont let me get back on it i have tried reentering my email address and every thing but it still isnt working...so what im asking is do you kno of any way that i can get back onto my account? thanks if you can but if you cant thats fin too...

Okay, I'm not sure what has happened. But how long has your account been inactive? If for a long time (talking about maybe 6 months) then it has probably been deleted.

It could be something else. Have you been banned? If so, then you cannot log in. Also, did you enter a valid email address (a real email address)? If not then that's probably why too.

Here is an FAQ link to your problem:

http://www.advicenators.com/faq.php?f=42

Just keep trying and if things don't work then make a new account unless your account has been suspended or banned.

What is anemia? My friend said that when you get it you have it for the rest of your life or something? Is that true? What happens when you get it? Ill rate 5s.

You know what was funny? I was just reading my column from about 6 or 7 months ago and a person asked the same question and I acted like a jerk. But this time I think I'll answer it better!

Here are some helpful sites to get to understand
Anemia better:
