Alot of People think i can be mean at times, which yes, i can. But I only speak the truth. I do not sugarcoat anything so I hope you do not take it personally. If you ask a stupid question, I'm going to give you a stupid answer. You can rate me 1's all your heart desires, but I don't care. Sometimes people need to hear the truth, instead of just, "Oh yeah..everything will be OK."

(link)
"Him" is A Band. You could have put a more descriptive Subject in than "Him" You didn't really ask a question anyways but heres what I would do in your situation:

Ask him if he still likes you!!!!!!Duh!


Do you think its okay to teach your child to hit someone back if they hit him first? (link)
No. Are you a teen mother or soemthing?


Ok,you see, there is this guy thatI really like
and he knows it and he told me that he liked me...he is really sweet to me and if i'm having
a bad day then hr will try anything to make me feel better.But the problem is that he has a
girlfriend and i'm like madly in love with this guy and i dont no wat 2 do!?!?!? (link)
Okay, listen REALLY carefully because I'm going to tell you what you have to do!...................ask him out.


im a 16 female and my bf is 19. i only get to see him twice a week, if even that. he has a full time job, and i am working too. my parents are stressing me out because they dont like how he calls me so much, but i like it.. he only calls me about 5 times a day, but yet those convos are 10mins long. my parents act like they dont want me to be happy, and im sick of it. sometimes i take all of this out on my bf, and he gets really upset about it, cus i get to the point where im so upset, i could break things off. i want my parents to get off my back, and for me to be happy. the only time im happy is when im with my bf. and now thats all changing becauz my parents bitch at me and embarrass me when me and my bf are hangin out all the time. im just sick of it. neither of us have our lisences... it'll be 4mths til i can get mine, and he can get his whenever, yet he has no expirence, so he wont pass anyway...
and my parents are sick of drivin us around all the time.
how do i find a way to see him, and how do i stop taking things out on him?? (link)
You're too young for him and if you have sex its illegal.


Okay well i am 13\f and i havent made out yet and i want to REALLY bad. i have a bf but he doesnt live near me so yeah..i really love him and all that. but i have a friend who lives closer to me and hes really cool. we are supposed to hang out sometime and im afraid i might start doing stuff with him because i want to make out really bad..but i dont want to cheat on my bf. I would feel horrible if i did that to him. Should i just wait for liek a year till my bf comes to see me and wait. or what. because i want to REALLLLYYY badd. :P??? (link)
then you must be REALLLLLLYYYY slutty.


any EIU freshman heree ? (link)
no.


I've had an eating disorder for a couple years now. I start to get over it during the summer, then it all comes back like nothing ever happened during school. It's so bad that my clothes actually fit alot looser on me at the end of the day, that's how much weight i'm losing. But i dont' realy care. My question is, i need something to keep me going. I don't care what, but it's gonna have to be something that is like a normal drug (not a bad drug..but you know what i mean) that just..gives you a high or something. I just need ideas because i've almost fainted before and my friends know what's going on. I just need a way to stay awake and feeling really good so they won't realize. Any suggestions other than start eating again?!?!?! I'll rate high and sorry cuz it's so long. (link)
Wow. You're stupid. First you are anorexic and now you're a drug addict??!!


Does anyone have some good, out of the ordinary, kind of crazy ideas for what I could do with my boyfriend? I don't want the relationship to be based around physical aspects, I want to be able to do other things with him. We do already, but we're running out of ideas. I live on Lake Michigan, have a reasonable budget, (but nothing too big or expensive please), and really like to try new, random, and less usual things to do with a date. Any ideas? Oh yeah, I'm 16/f. (link)
Have sex with him and become a teen mother.

ASHLEE SIMPSON LALA!!!!!

haha no....why don't you just get a life and stop being so emo?


i have been cutting myself for about 4 months now, i dont know how to stop, but i dont want to do it anymore. how do i stop and deal with my emotions in other ways? (link)
Greetings Emo Child,

I used to snap rubberbands. It hurts so don't do it unless you are a retard like hockeybob. Why don't you keep a journal or something? I'm sure your life isn't as bad as you think. There are people who live in third world countries who work in sweat shops all day and night without food or water, and they make like a penny a day. So think of that when you want to cut.


i have had thought of suicide in my mind about 6 times now. i have attempted it, but i dont think i have really tried hard enough to kill myself. do you think i would be concidered suicidal? (link)
Yes, you moron. You would be considered a suicidal emo kid.


Ok, so me and my new boyfriend were making out for the first time tonight and he like blew air into my mouth but acted like i knew what that was and i was like uhh...wtf?....soo wtf is that?


-*-love (link)
you're retarded. It means nothing and you're probably too young to be making out anyways.


I don't really like talkin to my mom and or dad about boys or if have a boyfriend i get sord of embarressed that they will make a big deal out of it and i dont really want them too. Any tips on not to be embarressed or nervous??? (link)
Heres an idea: Don't tell them. learn to lie.


See I have this really awsome Dad. But I stopped seing him because him and my mom got in a fight. Like not physical. But like swearing. Then that went to court and I am not allowed to see him anymore. I havnt seen him in 5 years. And all my friends at school know him and get to see him and are always talking about how cool he is and I know he is cool but I miss him reallllyyy bad. And I cant wait until I am 18 to see him but I have to. Every night I cry and cry. What do I do? What do I do to stop being depressed. Everyone at school calls me bad names and a girl even sprained my pinky but the teachers dont really care. They just gave her lunch detention for one day. All my friends are like get over it. Dont care what people say. But ever since I strted public school (since 5th grade) people have been treating me like crap every day and it doesnt stop. Its not just the normal name calling, its worse and it has scarred me. I cant take it anymore. Its so annoying and I am a sensitive person but I act tough and just cry when I get home. I have tried to do something about it but they just blame it on me when I am kind to them even when their mean to me. I even got suspended once for no reasen. Well, the person blamed somthing on me and i got suspened for 4 days (in school suspension) plus week of detention. I dont know what to do. Plus my mom verbally fights with me a lot. I dont feel safe anywhere. What do I do? My mom even called me a loser and I suck and said my friends are losers and no1 likes me? HELP!I am a girl and I am 12. HELLLLLPPPPP! (link)
OMG that is so sad. I think you should become emo, and listen to loud screamy music and torture yourself to ease the pain. It worked for me and look how I turned out!

Now for the non-sarcastic part of the advice:
Yeah and if people are going to give you crap, you need to fight back, geez. I don't let anyone push ME around and you shouldn't either. Just shove people into their lockers, thats what i do. Stop talking to your mom for a week. Demand to see your dad. And call him and run away to his house.


I am going to be a junior in high school & I am going to be taking an AP U.S. History course. For the summer we had to read a book (I read Nickel & Dimed) and then write an essay. The assignment is:
Based on your understanding and knowledge of the opputunities offered by the United States before 1850, what does the book that was read indicate about the "American Dream"?
I know that the book I read is indicating that the American Dream is not as promising as it was before the 1850s, because back then immigrants came here & were able to start a better life, but now people are trying to work low wage jobs that do not support them or do not generally lead to an improved life. However, I do not know how to set up my essay. I know I need a hypothesis in the introduction paragraph & a conclusion paragraph. But I do not know how to organize the body paragraphs, how to split them up, and what to talk about in each one. (I am thinking a 5 paragraph essay with 3 body paragraphs). If you have any ideas I would be grateful for them! Thank you! (link)
Stop trying to make us do your homework. Figure it out by yourself if you're so smart and are taking an AP class.


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? (link)
like o-meh-gawd okeh, that is a mega crisis! you need like real help girlfriend! Um liiiiiikkee my advice or whatever, is to go up to him and ask him about any dark dirty secrets that would make you think of him as like.....dumb and gross. And like you could always ask him if he has a girlfriend, and if he does, like you can just like remember hes not in your reach. O meh gawd I hope I helped! && good luck!


He's just beginning to become a friend, and I find him as attractive and magnetic as most others always seem to, but I doubt his motives. It sometimes seems that all he truly cares about, deep down, is his own little world, and the roles he makes those in his life play. Am I just an amusement? I don't think he'll ever let anyone too close to him, I think it's very rarely that he tells me anything true. But something about him is friendly and safe, and at times I feel like he's not trying to fool me at all. He's done nothing wrong. What kind of person is this? Should I steer clear or ignore my gut feeling? (link)
The better question is, what kind of a person are YOU? Think, my child. Mediatate to the sounds of the ocean and there you will find your heart, and you must follow its path.


The following questions are not really being asked so that I can be advised about my own beliefs, but rather to (hopefully) stimulate discussion.

Anyway, my first question is this:

Many people believe that God must exist because the universe itself exists. In essence, they believe that the universe was caused by something, and that cause was God. The argument assumes three things. 1. It assumes existence is necessarily caused. 2. It assumes that existence was caused by a conscious, intelligent being.

Now, it seems to me that the idea that the cause is conscious and intelligent, and even a being, is open to question. Maybe the cause is some transcendant FORCE? The first assumption, as well, is questionable. No one is sure if we have every really observed existence being caused. We have seen things change forms, but not pop into existence. Not only that, but theories in quantum physics hold that subatomic particles often appear out of nowhere, with no cause. Many events in the subatomic realm are said to be uncaused. This seems to openly refute the first assumption.

Do you agree or disagree with this? Discuss.

The second argument I'd like to make is in regards to the other big argument for God, that being the argument of design. It basically states that because life is so complex, it couldn't have arisen from chance and it had to be designed.

My objections to this are as follows:
1. If complex life must have been designed by some intelligent force, then the designer (being intelligent) must also have been designed. The designers would have to go back into an infinite regression. This is hardly a plausible idea, because it needlessly multiplies entities without any reason for supposing their existence.

2. The theory of evolution shows how life can evolve from simpler organisms without any intentional design. This is not caused by 'random chance', but by the forces of natural selection, genetic drift, and sexual selection, among others. None of these selection mechanisms are "random". The mutations are random, but the species that survive are not chosen at random.

Is there an adequate way to defend the design theory against these arguments? How would you do so?

Another common argument (this is the last one) is that, given the Big Bang theory, the chances of this specific life-supporting universe originating have such small odds of happening that it seems absurd to say it happened by pure chance.

My objections:
1. Simply because the probability is very low for this given universe doesn't mean that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the universe to form this way by chance.

2. If we were to emphasize the chances of a universe being created that had, say, a lot of big, gaseous planets like jupiter and very few like Earth, this would also be very improbable. The point is that emphasizing life seems arbitrary. Any other possible outcome would be just as improbable.

3. Your own existence is very improbable as well. Think about it. You were composed of a specific sperm out of millions and a specific egg out of thousands. Your parents, grand-parents, and all your other ancestors for however old humans have been around were also subject to this very low probability of being born. If we factor in the chance of each of your relatives meeting and the chances of them having sex at a particular time, the chances become even lower for your own existence. Given all these variables (and there are many more), the chances of your existence are VERY improbable. Does this mean that you weren't created through sexual reproduction (a process of "random" selection among sperm and eggs) but that some being--maybe a stork?--guided you into existence?

Obviously, the fine-tuning argument fails for the reasons the stork argument fails. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?

Feel free to pick and choose objects of discussion. Hopefully there will be some interesting responses to give me something to think about! (link)
Hey, this sure was an interesting question. I am somehwat religious and I believe in spiritual and logical explantions. I believe that humans developed from monkeys as a logical explanation and that God created people as a spiritual explanation. I know that God and Jesus exists, because every time I start to think that he doesn't, I think about all the proof they have. They have Jesus' cross, the holy granit, and I also think about all the miracles that have happened throughout the world. Basically, in my heart, I will always believe that God created the Universe, because since noone has ever seen God in person, we have to believe in him aeven though he seems like hes not there, because he is here.

If you have anything else you would like to ask me, please drop something in my inbox on twistedsister17 -because that is the advice column I am usually on.
As for the stork thing, I do not believe there is a stork. The stork was only made up for parents who did not want to tell their little kids where babies come from.
