i am 19 and pregnant but i am in college only in my first year. i am with the person i love but he does not go to college. i want to have the baby but me and him have no money and no way to provide for the baby? what should i do?

If you have no money, then there is no possible way that you will be able to provide for this child. Instead of putting yourself through all of this misery, which will later end up affecting how the child is treated, you should put up the baby for adoption. I personally do not believe in abortion, because I think that it is wrongful killing. I'm not going to start imposing my views on you though. Your child will have a better life, trust me. Once you are out of college, finish your education, and have developed your career, then you can start thinking about having children.

My aunt recently emailed me to ask me if I would pay her monthly house payment as she and her husband have had a difficult year financially. She works in a factory and her husband is a truck driver. Both have had their hours/pay cut due to the recent economy. However, they live in a rather nice home that they built 10 years ago, so I'm sure the house payments are quite high. Twenty years ago, she borrowed money from my mom and never paid it back. This has been a point of contention ever since. I have the money to help, and I know it's the right thing to do, but why do I feel as if I'll never see this money again? Should I give in and give her the money?

If it's been 20 years since she gave your mom money, what makes you think that she will repay you this time?

Is there any jobs that are hiring at the age of 14?

The Children's Ministry at your local church. It's like babysitting, but in a church. You'll probably only have the ability to work on Sundays, but it's better than nothing.

i wanna get this macbook, but while looking through that page of, what i guess you can call "extras", i wasnt clear if the laptop already came with microsoft word or if that was part of iWork?

also, if anybody has this macbook, can you tell me about it? do you like it? does it cause any problems? and if i already have a wireless internet thing i wont need to get one especially for the mac, right?
thanks!!!

The laptop doesn't come with Microsoft Word because Macbooks are part of the Apple brand. Apple and Microsoft are very different companies. iWork is like the Microsoft Office, but on an Apple computer.

From that website:
"Questions? Just ask. Talk with a knowledgeable Apple specialist. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE"

You will get direct answers from the people who know the most about Apple products.

That provides an entire archive of reviews for the Macbook that you are wanting. Each individual review contains Pro's and Con's.

I hope that helped you out. Message me if you need more information and I would be more than happy to research it for you.

I'm thinking of buying a MacBook real soon. For those of you who have experience with MacBooks, do you like it? Are they easy to use? Are they worth the money? Any general reviews?


Thanks!

That's an in depth guide for the Macbook and Macbook Pro Dual.

The Macbook Pro is mainly for those who are into video editing. It's more powerful than the original Macbook.

Dear Advice,

Im fat and ive tried everything from pills to being a little anarexic. What should I do.

Okay, you need to do this the right way:

To lose (1) pound of fat, you need to consume 3,500 calories less than you usually do. You can do this on a weekly, or bi-weekly basis. Do not attempt to burn 3,500 calories daily because this will be very bad for you. Go to this website to find out how many calories you should be consuming daily:

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

That website will also provide a calorie intake suggestion for fat loss and 'extreme' fat loss.

Next, you need to work on your diet. This means (and you've heard this plenty of times before):

- Instead of a candy bar, eat an apple. If you're not ready to give up candy, try sucking on a sucker instead. Like those small sized tootsie pops. But only eat ONE.
- String cheese is a great snack with plenty of protein in it to keep you full.
- Fiber one cereal with low/non fat milk in the morning is ideal. No poptarts, toaster strudels, muffins, doughnuts or any of that.
- Say good bye to soda! I used to be an avid soda drinker. I'm talking at least 1 can of soda a day. However, I realized that soda really is just carbonated water, sugar, and coloring. Try switching to diet soda. Water with or w/o lemon would be the ideal choice.
- Sometimes, we may think that we are hungry, but it could also be a sign that we're thirsty. Try drinking a tall glass of water before you eat. Also, start off with a small salad with a drizzle of low fat dressing. From there, you can determine whether or not you're as hungry as you thought you were.
- Chew your food slowly. If you eat fast, your body cannot digest all of it at once. Count to about 30 seconds while you're chewing, wait a few seconds, and then take another bite.
- Try to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in your diet.
- Eliminate fast food.

Finally, you have to include exercise.

No, I'm not saying that you have to get out there and run until you're about to burst. This can be as simple as taking your dog for a walk in the morning and in the evening. I hate running, so I won't suggest that. You can power walk as well. You can even buy a jump rope from Walmart and jump rope in your garage.

I hope that those tips helped. If you need more, feel free to message me.

I've had this cat for just a few months now but I still don't know what to name him. I want something original. He's a REALLY sweet cat. I've never had a cat that had such a big heart. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could name him?

The name "Jasper" comes to mind. (and no, that wasn't inspired by Twilight, lol).

Im sure this is in the wrong category, but Im positive it dosnt fall into any other category. Well, summer 09 is finally here, & I want it to be the most amazing summer ever. I just finished freshmen year and im 15.
Im hooking up with a 16 year old that just finished his sophmore year. Just in case that would help a little. Ohh, and im a girl and live in miami. I know, what cant you do here. So anything I could do to make this summer AMAZING?! Thanks in advance(:
Ohh, and I wanna do things with my friends.

- Bonfires! Make smores, roast hot dogs, etc. Make it a huge event by sending out facebook event invitations. Now that it's summer, everyone is laid back and just wants something to do. Good food + good music = a great time.
Summer Playlist: http://www.seventeen.com/fun-stuff/music-playlists/ultimate-summer-playlist-0607
- A good book. I love Sarah Dessen books. [http://www.sarahdessen.com/]
- Water balloon fight. Invite that guy over that you've been hooking up with to come play haha.
- Have a huge feast with all of your closest (girl) friends. Make sure that nobody has beef with the other girls though! Make smores in your microwave, get a bunch of fruit, etc.
- Backyard campout! Who says that you have to go to a campground to go camping?
- Go window shopping! I do it all the time and try on everything with my friends. It's so much fun because you don't even have to buy anything at all. I like to do this and then go get some ice cream afterwards. It's a lot of fun, if you haven't done it already.

I hope these ideas helped you out. Message me if you need more.

Hey ,

My friend told me that if you work out a day one hour with a hula hoop like hoola hooping it builds on some good curves , is that true?

thank you ,
betty

Yes, there is a type of hula hoop with grooved curves that is weighted. It's just not your regular type of plastic, super light hula hoop that you're thinking of.

Hi...let me just start out by saying im a 16/male...I guess ill just go ahead and start babbling now...

I decided, until recently, to be out of the dating game. Recently I've been going out with a girl that I'm absolutely crazy for and she's my first serious girl. I'm very glad that we're going out, but she's had boyfriends before me. I guess what I'm really getting at is that she's kissed before, and I of course, having not been dating, have not. We had our first kiss already but I don't know whether or not I did a very good job. I'm pretty sure it was decent, but of course I wouldn't know. I guess I just want to know if it will make it odd with her after a pretty awkward kiss, though I know she wanted me to kiss her. Basically, I want to know if it's normal to feel like this, like to be worried that things will change.

Thank you very much for any help, I hope it wasn't too much babbling.

Well, I'm a girl, and knowing that a guy is nervous about a first kiss is nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't had my first kiss, so I'm going to let my best friend sitting next to me, answer.

"i've been with guys who havent had their first kisses. at first, it was a little awkward at first, but just a LITTLE. i was nervous for my first kiss too. it went pretty badly, actually. the second time, though, was a lot better. the guy that i was w/ was having his first kiss, and as we continud to kiss, he got alot better. no, it will not be odd, because your girlfriend should understand what you're worrying about. if she doesnt, then she's being a little insensitive. i'm sure, though, that if she's nice, she'll understand and wont make a big deal out of it. its totally normal to feel like this. its just anxiety. dont worry, just go with the flow!"

Hope that helped you!

Me and my bff want to lose a little weight, we have like 2 or 3 weeks. any ideas?
we will not puke, and we WANT to eat. we can't exactly diet, (love food) but we aren't totally fat (like lose an inch or two around the waist) because we REALLY want to look good in our swim suits. PLZZZZ HELP! every minute with out answers, is another minute not losing weight! (Like I said, we KNOW we're not fat, just a lil chubby)

It's simple once you get used to it.

Cut out sodas, replace with all natural fruit juice, or water.

Cut out chips and dip, replace with baked tortilla chips and guacamole.

Cut out fatty ice cream, replace with Breyer's double churn low-fat vanilla ice cream. Add toppings SPARINGLY.

Cut out candy, replace with frozen grapes with a side of whipped cream [they are REALLY good].

Start eating tons of fruits. Really. They are good for you, and if you are hot and sweaty, and really THAT hungry, you will eat whatever sounds appealing. Kiwis, pineapple [yum!], strawberries, mangoes [yum!], grapes, papaya, the possibilities are endless.

Eat less, meaning make your portions smaller. If you decide to go out to eat, ask for dressing on the side of your salad. Ask for water or iced tea instead of soda. If you don't feel like finishing that last half of hamburger, wrap it and take it home and finish it later! Eat when you are hungry, don't eat when you're not hungry.

Sign up for their newsletters, and you will receive coupons and various other 'swaps' through email. It is really helpful, and most of the 'swaps' are delicious. Think brownies, chocolate muffins, banana bread, etc. that are all low fat and are really not that bad for you.

Okay, so i asked a question before this one so you have to re-read the question to get an idea of what this ones about. The link to the other question is: http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=541143


So, i've decided that i'm for sure getting her the doll. But thats where i don't know when the dolls are fake. It has to be a 1960s doll. And i found this one:: http://cgi.ebay.com/16-Thumbelina-Ideal-60s-Orig-Mech-knob-works-NO-RES_W0QQitemZ330241827151QQihZ014QQcategoryZ15992QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


Scroll down to the bottom and there are a lot of pictures.
Is this a good one to bid on or buy?

YES. I saw your question, and didn't want to add an unnecessary answer. This doll is perfect. I think that what would add to the effect, is to give her a handwritten note saying 'I just wanted to give you what you've always wanted. Thanks for everything that you do for me... etc.'.

Good choice. :)

any ways to subtly seduce a guy?
bcs there is a guy i've been talking to and we've gone a few dates only one was solo though
so i want some small ways to drop hints in class or during passing period

If you have something to say, whisper it in his ear.
Brush your fingers LIGHTLY through his hair.
Let your fingers brush over his arm.

That's all that I have right now, but I've seen friends use this, and their guys tell me that they like it [they usually come to me for advice, in some situations]. Good luck.

okay so this is pretty embarrassing, but i need to know. for the last two years little white things have been popping up on my breasts. now, i think they are white heads or something. how do i get rid of them and are they something more than white heads.

Nope. They are not whiteheads. They are little lumps of skin growth growing on your breasts. Nothing to worry about! I asked my doctor about this too. She said that unless it's a painful, big lump, then that is when you should consult your doctor about it. If it's just a small, almost pimple like bump, then no, do not worry one bit about it. Don't pop them, though!

Does proactive really work? I know its different for certiain people but im just wondering if it worked for you. I dont have wicked bad acne but i have my breakouts. If it doesnt work for you what do you use that does work?

Okay, so I'll tell you what I do to keep my acne under control. Yeah, I wasn't exactly blessed with perfect skin, but these products that I use are very inexpensive, and seem to work well. It has taken me awhile to see results, but you have to keep at it, and have some patience. I have tried everything, and these are the products that are the cheapest that *I* could find and seem to work well. Then again, everybody's skin type is different. You just have to see what works for you!

I wear makeup to cover my zits, and it seems to work well. However, MANY many many people make the mistake of forgetting to wash it off! You can do this with a simple bar soap:

http://www.shop.kn/GRFX/Items/dial_soap_gold01.jpg

You don't need a special make-up remover to take off your makeup. However, for eyes, this is what I use since I can't always get to my eyes with products not designed to be close to them [results in stinging, and general pain in the eye]:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?id=prod1793346&CATID=100295&skuid=sku1792826&V=G&ec=frgl_696121&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=sku1792826

Every other day, I use this very inexpensive mask to clean out my pores [I used to have large pores on my nose], and to keep my skin feeling fresh and clean:

http://www.freemanbeauty.com/portal/store/store.asp?nProductID=19617

The thing that I love about this mask is the way that you can take it off. You can peel it off, it's kinda fun. :-P

I use a cheap/imitator version of Pro-Activ called AcneFree. I have tried a friend's Pro-Activ kit for about a week. Honestly, I think that they work the same. AcneFree, however, is a LOT cheaper.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4805990

Using these products in a 'routine'. First, I use the AcneFree in the morning when I wake up, and in the evening before I go to bed. IF I wear makeup that day [powder, foundation, blush, etc.], I use the Dial bar soap. And finally, I use the peel off mask just to open up my pores and clean them out.

My results: I have noticed that my acne has gotten a lot better, zits do not appear in clusters as they used to. Now, I just get zits on my hairline [since my bangs are always in my face, need to do a better job at managing that], and my pores on my nose have gotten a LOT lighter, and are barely noticeable.

Again, like I said, I had to try a lot of different products to see what works. A thing that you can try is, is if you have a friend who has acne has well and is willing to share their products, then you can 'sample' them before you buy them for yourself.

Good luck! Hope I helped!
