About HyperactiveMiss





Hello!
Ask away! If you'd like to know me better, check out my websites by clicking here and viewing my collective. I always try to give detailed and helpful advice. Please feel free to ask me for advice and DO give me feedback! Reading good comments and knowing that I helped someone out literally puts a smile on my face.

Please be sure to look at the FAQ on my column. If you ask a question similar to one I've already answered, I will most likely reply with the same answer.


Grammar, Punctuation, etc
I think if Advicenators are going to take the time to answer other peoples' questions and give free and helpful advice, the least people could do is use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc when they are asking for help. It's unbelievable how some people TyPe LiKe ThIs, or never use periods, or don't have the time to do a "seempl nd quik speel chek".
Pet Peeve
I think that's totally lame when someone rates you down just because they don't want to accept the truth. It's also annoying if they rate you down, just because they didn't like your answer. Advicenators isn't about hearing what you want to hear. It's about finding the truth. People should be thankful that someone gave their time and effort. They should be thankful their question was even answered at all.
Rating & Feedback
Let me just remind you what each number means when you rate someone. These are OFFICIAL.

1- Pretty Bad Advice 2- Not Harmful, But Not Useful Either 3- Decent Enough Advice 4- Good Advice 5- Really Awesome Advice

I think everyone should give feedback, not just a rating. And feedback should include WHY you gave that person that specific rating. If everyone did that, everyone would probably rate more accurately. Also, the advice giver took the time to answer the question. The least the question asker could do is to give feedback! But unfortunately I guess it's too hard and mind boggling for everyone to do.

  • do you have a paid account? if not, how did you get all the extra cool stuff on your side bar?

    No I don't. I had an account a while back when you didn't need a paid account to make a layout (or style) for your column. So during that time I made one (The one I have right now). Even though you have to have a paid account now to make any new ones, you can still edit the ones you made.

    BTW, if you want "extra cool stuff" on your side bar you can wait until DangerNerd (Admin of this site in case you didn't know) allows HTML back into columns. Then you can put html and extra stuff in your side bar by putting it in your Profile Settings (http://advicenators.com/settings.php) where it lets you describe yourself.

    Hello!
    I was reading your Moderator Discusstion, about the one where you tell about yourself. This one:

    If everyone posted their name and age and where they lived, you still wouldn't know them would you?

    Opinions can show what kind of person you are. That's something you'd never find out just by knowing my name.

    Facts:

    - I have a Tamagotchi! I'm so addicted. I feel like a 2nd grader again. Tee Hee. =')
    - I'm moving to a new school...that has three stories! And I don't mean those stories in books either.

    and I noticed that you said you had a Tamagotchi. That is so cool. I mean I thought I was the only teenager that had one. And yes I am very addicted too...and some of my friends think I'm over obsessed with it. :D
    Oh, and by the way you are my favorite columnist of all time.

    ~ funkymunky817 ~

    Aww, that's so sweet of you! Nah, you're definitely not the only teen that has a Tama! It's true almost none of my friends know what a Tamagotchi is, but the key word is ALMOST ;)

    If you wanna see other Tama addicts, you can check out http://tamatalk.com. My username is poorcookie on there :)

    I'm on your Fav. Col. list?! I didn't know, lol. I haven't checked in a while...I guess that's a good thing because that shows I'm not vain? Haha. But yes, I must add you too (=

    What is the real difference between a friend and a "best friend"?

    BFF stands for Best Fudging (so called) Friend!

    Lol. Sorry. I'm having issues of my own with my own friends right now, so yeah.

    Well, a best friend is "more" than a friend. Out of all of your friends, you consider this one the "best" and you are closer to them. They should have the qualities you want in a best friend, like honesty, trust, etc.

    every morning, i have the sniffles. like i constantly blow my nose & sneeze & everything. last year, i couldn't concentrate in my 1st period class bc i had the sniffles! ugh it's so annoying! and it only happens when i wake up early, not when i wake up whenever. school starts soon & i don't want to be humuliated in my class. how can i get rid of them?? thanks and yeah i'll rate lol

    Every morning? That sounds like the old me! I used to have a stuffy or runny nose every morning. I got an air cleaner type thing in my bedroom and with it, every morning I wouldn't have problems anymore. Maybe that will work for you? You could also try an allergy medicine every morning. Good luck.

    O. My. God. I don't know what the hell to do! I'm 13f and I just discovered I like my teacher (he's a guy). This is sooooooooooo embarassing! And he senses it, too, which is even worse. Because every time I see him I blush and I can't make direct eye contact. I should not be liking him. What can I do to NOT like him? How can I control blushing?

    I'm sure lots of girls (and guys) have been there. Liking an old person old enough to be your parent or grandparent? EWWW. But nevertheless you still have a crush on them anyway! Weird how that works.

    Just don't worry about it. Even if this year turns out to be the most embarrassing ever...guess what? Next year will be a new year and you will have new teachers.

    I'm sure your teacher understands, and is maybe even flattered. I'm pretty sure he won't try to embarrass you about it.

    Just remind yourself he's old. He's a teacher. And you both have waaay different lives. I think the best way to deal with this is to look him in the eye. Don't avoid him. Don't have any thoughts about crushing on him. Just think of it as "Oh. There's my teacher." Then you can concentrate on something else or concentrate on your teacher's bad traits. I hope this works for you!

    okay.. well i think i started my peroid lol.. okay well .. i had this reddish brown discharge since saturday and now today and yesterday its been pure red.. did i start ? and its only noticable when i wipe and theres alot on the tp.. but none comes out in to the toilet .. can you explain that?

    Yep. You started. Of course it most likely won't come out into the toilet because it's not like a waterfall of blood is going to come out. If THAT much came out, I think most women would be feeling very weak!

    So I'm curious. When I cuddle with my boyfriend, I tend to kind of wrap around him, but I always end up laying on one of my arms and it gets uncomfortable really fast. What the heck do I do with my arm?
    Like, I'll be laying on my left side (and arm) with my right arm wrapped around him, but my left arm ends up going numb...
    Weird question, yeah, but that's why it's under random weirdos.

    Solution? Don't lay on your arm! Lol, easy. Well...sort of. You know how if you stretch out your left arm it can be a "pillow" for your head and your boyfriend's head? It might get numb eventually, but it won't be as bad as your body on top of your arm. Or you could also move your arm so that it's on top of your boyfriend's head and just use your hand to stroke his hair. Just some ideas. Hope this helps!

    If a guy askes you if you are a virgin, and and you say yes, that means you didnt have sex right?

    Yep. A virgin is someone that has never had sex. EVER. Even if you had sex once you are no longer a virgin. It's gone. POOF! WAHBAM! lol.

    I will be freshman this year. And I'm so scared and nervous. My curent friends are like family, but I can't really be myserlf around them. They are too much into guys. But I've been through alot with them in middle school. And I don't really have any other close friends. So what should I do? Should I find new friends, or stick with the ones I got?

    I see everyone else has suggested "both". I agree and I say you should go for both! The first few days people are most likely going to stick with people they know. It helps you get into a comfort zone. Once you're okay with the school and classes, you might want to see who else is at the school. You don't have to confine yourself to just one group. You're always free to do something with your old friends after school and find new friends at lunch...do whatever floats your boat. Or you could even join groups together! There are lots of options.

    Don't worry about your friends being into guys too much. It's the hormones and at this point I know a lot of people that are boy crazy. You can either join in with them, or just find someone else to talk to while they're rambling on about a new boy.

    And don't worry about being nervous! The first week is when you're getting used to it. After the second week you'll feel much more comfortable. Just remember everyone else is feeling nervous too, so you're not alone.

    Why are boys so... i dont even know what word to use.. i mean they tell you they love you just to get in your pants! and they are sooo confusing, they bring so much pain but i still want them! ... grrr, am i making any sense? all i truley want is this...
    i want a boy---
    who can wrestle with me
    and let me win.
    who i can talk to about anything.
    who laughs at my jokes.
    a boy who puts my cold hands
    in his warm hoodie pockets.
    who lets me use his sweatshirt
    for a pillow.
    who buys me 25 cent rings,
    and sticky hands.
    who says i love you & means it.
    who will kiss me in the rain,
    in the sunshine, and in the snow.
    who calls unexpectedly.
    who will have many inside jokes
    with me and remember each one.
    a boy who notices girl's haircuts.
    who realizes that girls say things
    but dont always mean them.
    who i can go swimming with
    on hot days.
    who can tell me his problems
    and let me help.
    who will listen to me talk--
    about the new nail polish i got.
    who will bring me seashells
    from the beach.
    who will let me beat him up
    when i get angry.
    who writes love letters to me,
    but doesn't send them.
    who draws pictures and slips them
    gently into my locker slot.

    who will call me by my full name--
    first, middle and last.
    a boy who will kiss me and
    tell me i'm beautiful.
    a boy who will let me cry to him.
    who will squeeze my hips just right.
    who suprises me and compliments
    my manicure and plays with my hair.
    who knows when i have a math test
    or when i fail one.
    a boy who smells like
    he just stepped out of the shower.
    who tells me i have a nice laugh,
    and a smile that lights up the room.
    a boy who's simply mine to hold."
    that is exactly what i want!
    why cant i get that?

    "all i truley want is this"
    "that is exactly what i want!
    why cant i get that?"

    I hate to burst your bubble, but you're asking too much. Your list is TOO EXACT. You have to start slow! Where to start, you ask? Just start off wishing and looking for a nice guy friend! Honestly, no one get get everything you mentioned by just wishing it. You have to FIND the right person.

    Not all guys "they tell you they love you just to get in your pants".

    When you find a guy that loves you for you and you love him for him, that's all you need. You won't care about him "buying you 25 cent rings" or ANY of that stuff. You'll just be so HAPPY that you finally found someone just for you. When you're single you want a lot of things. But when you finally find someone, trust me, you won't want anything from them except love [ And maybe some kisses and hugs ;) ]. Your list, or poem, or whatever that was, won't matter when you find someone you love. It will come naturally and you shouldn't mope around wishing you could find someone.

    Dating is all about bonding with someone, gaining new experiences, and finding what you need and want. If things don't work out you move on and live life.

    Ok well im a 17/f and me and my boyfriend have sexand everything but like 4 months ago his condom broke and we didnt know it and now im pregnant. Well i want to keep the baby and my parents are all for me and any choice i make about the baby. Well my boyfriend and me are decieding if we should keep the baby and he wants to help raise the child if we decide to keep it. well i dont know if i should keep the baby. you see i will be able too because i act very mature for my age, i already moved out of my house when i was 16 because of family issues and i already have 1 child( i was raped when i 14 and i didnt give her up for adoption) what should i do should i keep the baby or give it up?

    You need to make up your mind. First you said "i want to keep the baby" and then later you said "well i don't know if i should keep the baby".

    Truthfully, no one can make a decision about this except you. Anyone that answers this question is merely giving you OPINION, not an answer. That said, I am also giving you my opinion.

    I think if you kept a child that resulted from rape, I think you should keep the child that resulted from having sex for your own pleasure. You love your boyfriend right? Don't you think he would want you to keep the baby? It seems fishy to me that you would keep a baby from rape and not a baby from your boyfriend. I also think that if the child (that is in your belly right now) ever wanted to find her biological mother...don't you think he/she would be very sad that you kept one child, but let him/her go?

    I know having TWO kids at only age 17 is really tough, but EMOTIONALLY I think it'd be best to keep the child.

    Please, next time refrain from sex until you're married. Or at LEAST use better protection (There's more you can use than just a condom). Don't read this and think I'm trying to bash you. I only replied because I care. Good luck.

    all of my friends are some of the nicest people in the world...but my dad just doesn't seem to like any of them. he always calls them brats or says that i can't hang out with them. they've all met him, and i keep telling him how great they are...but he just doesn't listen. how do i get him to see how amazing ALL my friends are?

    Why does your dad think they're all brats? Tell your father to give 5 GOOD reasons why they are "brats". With every reason he gives, give a counter argument. Don't forget to remind him that you and your father are not perfect people either. Especially from just first impression, he cannot make assumptions like that.

    Have you invited your friends over for dinner? Maybe you can get them over, have everyone help prepare food, and eat with your dad while chitchatting with him. That would be a good time to show your dad how nice they are. Good luck!

    I know not to trust anyone on the internet. But what are ways to find out he is a normal, nice guy? I'm not giving out any information, i'm not that stupid. But how can I get proof from him?

    To be honest? There is NO way to be sure he is a "normal" and "nice" guy.

    Let me just give you ONE scenario.

    Because think of it like this: Some creepy 40 year old guy want to use a teen like you. So he finds your screen name, talks to you online, and after a long time (he has lots of patience) you guys decide to meet face to face. He has a son your age and decides to use him, so when you "meet face to face" you're actually only meeting his son. The son and you get along great and it's time for you to go home. And BAM, the old dude was hiding in the shadows and follows you home so he knows where you live now.

    Even if you REALLY found a nice guy online and started meeting him in person...the nice guy online could suddenly turn into the raper guy in real life. And it's not just true online...in real life it's like that too. You can lie online and you can lie in real life.

    I know it seems unlikely, but that was just one example of how a creepy old guy can use lies to get your guard down. In person or online, there is ALWAYS a risk because in person and online there's always a way to lie about yourself and use tricks.

    If you ask me, finding a guy at your school or club, or whatever would be SO much easier and much safer.

    Here's more concerning online relationships if you want to read more:

    I know this probably isn't the answer you want, but just keep in mind I only "wasted" my time typing this out because I CARE. Otherwise I'd just ignore this question and not even bother. Keep yourself safe.

    Is 13 old enough to have a boyfriend...not like pair off and go out on an actual date or anything...but to really like a boy and have a first kiss or sumthin...it's not like I want to, but when I see kids in my grade kissing and holding hands and stuff and I'm just curious to whether it's right or if it's silly or if it's age-appropriate...?

    I think any age is appropriate as long as you are realistic about it and you don't do things you will regret! If you have a boyfriend at a young age, that's great, but you have to keep in mind it probably isn't going to last until marriage! As long as you are mature enough to not spend TOO much with your boyfriend and live your own life I think it's alright.

    I have a pretty strong definition on love, so when I see little kids throwing the word "love" around it's annoying, but basically it just depends on how strong you believe in it. Dating is about bonding with someone, gaining new experiences, and finding what you need and want. If things don't work out you move on and live life.

    my friend hooked up with this guy for the first time yesterday...he walked out of the room laughing 5 minutes after they went in and she locked herself in the bathroom...according to the guy...she didnt know how to french so he left her...is there anything i can tell her to make her feel better or any pointes i can give her...ive tried everything, but shes still devistated and i would like to know if theres anything else i can do....thanks!!!

    Well, obviously the guy was no good in the first place. Who would honestly laugh at someone and not even give them a chance just because they didn't know how to french kiss? All he was in for was a little kiss and maybe more. He just wanted someone to use. A real guy would care more about the girl's personality.

    If your friend wants to read more about kissing she can check out my advice column and look it up under "FAQ".

    Good luck!

    okay, well heres how it goes..i really like this guy and hes super gorgous and he always makes me laugh. I mean he seems so perfect and i can be myself around him.I feel safe when i'm with him. Well the problem is i like him and i'm pretty sure he likes me but i guess he shy to ask me out. I mean hes not shy when he's flirting with me. well my question is how do i get our relationship to move further .. !!PLEAZE HELP ME!!
    Thnks XOXO oh and i will rate for good advice**
    oh and i want him to ask me out im not really the type of girl that will ask the guy out.

    If you want to step up your relationship with this guy, it's either time for some heavy duty flirting or you can just ask him to see a movie/have dinner at your favorite restaurant. It's really easy. I promise. By then he SHOULD get the point and SHOULD ask you out.

    You know the drill...if you want something done, you're going to have to do it yourself ;) Even if you're not "the type of girl that asks someone out", it's time you changed and become more confident in yourself and take charge! Because...come on...think about it. Would you rather ask him out and have a better chance of him saying yes...or be too afraid of asking him out and have a chance of letting him go? Mmm? Sure you can wait it out and cross your fingers, hoping he'll ask you out...but is that what you really want? If he never asks you out, you'll never know if he ever liked you and just remember it's your fault!

    And if this dude just doesn't work out...remember that there are plenty more to hunt down! Dating is all about bonding with someone, finding what you need and want, and gaining new experiences. If things don't work out...you move on and live life!

    I have the weirdest phobia (Well to me) I can not swallow pills. My sister used to have trouble with it too, but she eventually got over it. My younger brother has ADD so he has to have pills so he it's no problem for him. But when I was little I had choked on something and I blacked out before it was dislodged, and even though I know it's not going to happen just because I try swallowing a pill, I still have a "pill phobia". Anyway is there anything I can do that will help me get over it. Or just ways to make swallowing pills easier? I'm almost 15, and a sophmore in high school, and I'm still telling doctors when I'm sick that I need a liquid or chewable, I don't want to be an adult doing the same thing. It's embarassing. I have friends that won't swallow a pill unless they have to, but even if it was the only way, I'd rather just be sick. So if you have tips on making swallowing pills easier or just getting over the phobia, please let me know!! Thanks in advance!

    Don't worry, I used to have a sort of pill phobia as well. It used to be pretty embarrassing to say "Oh no, I can't take pills!"

    I think the best way is to take pills every day because it makes you find a technique to get it down you're comfortable with and you start getting used to it. It might be a little hard at first, but you'll get it. Dear gosh no! I don't mean you should take any old pill every day so you can "practice". You can take a vitamin pill and other pills that will help your body. That way you can kill two birds with one stone! I think that partially helped me get over being afraid of pills. I took them everyday and I still am.

    For everyday during the first week or more when I was taking the pills, I would be afraid of swallowing. Sometimes I'd have it sitting in my mouth with the water but I couldn't make it go down. And when I did try to swallow sometimes the water would go in before the pill did, oops! lol.

    Anyway, here are some more tips. Place the pill at the back of your tongue. Not so that you gag, just so that when you drink water it will go right in. Don't worry if it gets caught in your throat because you can always drink down as much more water as you need and the pill WILL go down. That's why you should fill your cup with lots of water.

    This is common sense, but if the pill is ovalish, make sure the pill will go down the slim way and not the other way around. It'll make it easier to swallow.

    Good luck!

    I'm the same person who asked how i could persuade my parents to let me keep my brother's dog while he is forced to live in hawaii(military orders). My brother and I decided to talk to our parents(for the third time) and my dad was cool with it but my mom wasn't. Everything got out of control and my mom and my grandmother got into this violent argument and my mom was close to killing my grandmother. My mom saids that my brother deserves the pain of his problems just because my brother is taking a while to pay her back cuz he doesn't have much money rite now. To her money comes before family so itz her #1 priority. So my mom threatened to pack up and leave home forever if the dog moves in. I'm so upset and stressed out. what should I do?

    Yes, I remember you! I was the second one to answer your other question :)

    http://advicenators.com/qview.php?q=358255

    I'm very glad your father is fine with keeping the dog!

    As for your mother...hmm. Of course I suggest you try and talk to her again. Talk to her about every little thing buzzing in your head right now. And teach her that money is not everything! Now could be a good time to teach her what's wrong and how to make it right. Sometimes adults have an opinion and it's hard for them to realize it's not moral unless someone else helps them.

    If your mother refuses to listen and insists on having no dog or she'll move out, let me ask you one thing. Do you love this woman? Because as much as you might love her, you might want to rethink about how much SHE loves YOU. I'm sure almost killing your grandmother was an exaggeration, but even if it was, that's HORRIBLE! That's quite selfish that she has a grudge over your brother just because of money! I mean, come on! Your brother's going away for the military! It's not like he's going off to have a vacation in paris.

    So she THREATENED to leave FOREVER if a cute doggy came into your home? You know what I think? I think she's bluffing. Trying to make sure the dog won't ever take a step in the house. I say go for it and keep the dog. She's either just bluffing or if she really is willing to leave forever just because of this, it's best to let her go.

    Don't stress out and don't get upset. I know, sounds impossible, but keep your cool. I promise you, you are doing nothing wrong so don't feel bad. Please tell me what happens and feel free to ask again if you ever need more advice. Good luck!
