about



Hii. :]


I'm a 17 year old girl from the East Coast of the United States.

Although i'm young, i've been through my share of problems.

I'm not going to tell you I can answer any question, but I'll certainly try.

I don't judge people because of the fact that I don't like to be judged myself.

I'm generally a nice person, but if you give me attitude, you won't be happy with my response.

I love listening to music, etc.

I have a job & have volunteered before,

I've been through drivers ed & have my license + a car,

I'm going to be a senior next year so I can help you with high school experiences.

All in all, i'll try to help you no matter what.

I also tend to reference websites when giving my answers because then I have proof that my advice is valid.

Anyways. I'd like to end this with my favorite quote [I dunno why it's my favorite quote, but yeah. :D]

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

advice

i have this friend and ive gone with her and her boyfriend and a few other people to the movies. well when they are at the movies she lays on him and he puts his arm around her and stuff. and she sometimes like sits on him and they make out and its cute.

well im going to the movies with my boyfriend soon and i want to do that kind of stuff. how do i get him to do that. i dont just want to throw myself on him. how do i know he likes to do that kind of stuff too? i dont want to ask him cause thats kinda of weird.

Just be subtle with your moves. During the movie, put your hand near his to see if he'd like to hold hands. Or just rest your head on his shoulder as if you're tired. Look up & if he's smiling or seems not to mind you doing it, then you'll know that he's fine with it.

As for the other stuff, I think you should wait a little longer for that. Stuff like that takes time, etc. If he likes those things above, though, then just ease into it.

I'm sure it'll be fine.
Have funn. :]

14/f-uhm, well i have longish brown hair, [boob-length] & i recently got my hair cut about a month ago. it used to be like belly button length. back when my hair was longer, i started to notice that it was like, falling out. not in like huge clumps, but i was suddenly aware of like stray hairs on my shoulder & pillow & stuff.
*i know that you lose like 100 hairs a day* but like i never noticed it this much before. now it seems to be getting worse. when i take my hair out of a ponytail,i lose like 6 strands each time. when my hairs wet, there seem to be strands that are mcuh longer than the others, but it just turns out that they're no longer like attached to my scalp or whatver. i talked to my doctor, but she didn't put much thought into it. i know it could be a thyroid problem; but my hairdresser says i'm too young for that. does anyone have advice to make it stop or at least slow down?! thanks mucho! ♥

Edit-
Make sure to take vitamins!
That was another thing my hairdresser told me. :]

Hey.

My hair does the exact same thing. Even when I went to the hairdressers, she said my hair was coming out "too much". It's partly because my hair is super thick, but also because I don't wash it like I should. You're supposed to massage the shampoo & conditioner into your hair. Also, change the shampoo & conditioner you use. Make sure it's not one of those 2-in-1 kinds.

My hair hasn't been coming out as much now that I got a haircut & changed shampoos & conditioners. Also, don't pull it back too hard when you put your hair in a ponytail. It pulls the strands out more. It's something people do without noticing, but does make a difference.

Good luck, and if it doesn't stop, talk to a hairdresser about it. They'll know more about your hair than a doctor would.

how do u know if u have a phobia of something?
Are there like symthoms. And any ways to get rid of it?

You know if you have a phobia of something if you're overly nervous/afraid of it. If, when you think of it, you break a sweat or get really scared, then you've got a phobia. A phobia is just a basic fear and everyone gets them. There aren't really "symptoms", but if you get really anxious, nervous, or are basically just extremely scared of whatever it is, then there's a big chance you have a phobia.

The only known way to get rid of a phobia, as some people say, is to face that fear. You might as well, because I'm sure if you try to, it won't be as bad as you think. After all, you only have one life, might as well take those kinds of chances. Also, if you're going to face it and are still too scared, have someone there with you while you do.

Good luck.
I hope that helped.

Well I know what shallow is, but i wanted a real good definitions and some examples and situations of shallowness. and how shallow peopel act. Im not sure if im shallow or not. - thanks.

I honestly can't think up a good definition or anything, so I used a website to aid me.

Definition:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3Ashallow

What I think for examples/situations:
- Liking someone based only on their looks.
- Basing friendships/relationships on race, financial state, etc.
- Being very selfish or only caring about yourself & not listening to others.

Basically being only concerned about your own appearance is what the general public thinks.

There's really no way to stereotype people who are "shallow". If you seem to follow a lot of the examples I stated, then there's a chance you are, but I think everyone's shallow at one time or another [to some extent].
Hope that helped.

i have four best friends and all five of us hang out in a group all the time. two of them are guys and two of them are girls. anyway when one of the guys isn't with us my other friends talk about how they think the guy who is gone is gay. (i know for a fact that he isn't because i've done stuff with him and no one knows...) but it really doesn't matter if he is or not i just don't think it's right that they do this. should i tell my guy friend what everyone else is saying about him...or would that just cause trouble?

I think you should tell him, but make sure he doesn't mention it to anyone else in the group. When people talk about me, I find that I feel better when I know about it. Wouldn't you? As long as he doesn't let them know you told him, there shouldn't be much trouble.

Good luckk. :]

Okay, well. I can't make this short.
I'm 15/f with a crush on a guy that's 16/m.
I met him this school year. Now it's the summer.
I wanna try and get his interest back on me again. Wow, that sounds really selfish. Okay, let's try that again. I wanna try and get back to the way he and I were at the beginning of the year. But it's a pretty long story and I know people don't like to read long questions. Sooo anyone want to volunteer to help me??? Please! I'll bake you scones that look like biscuits or double choco chunk cookies! Haha, pleaseeee! My YIM/MSN/e-mail is xchoke_on_dead_hopex@yahoo.com and my AIM is r0ck0l0ser. Can you please help me? Could you leave your email/sn for me to reach you with?

I love you forever and ever =)

I added you to my msn list, so just accept the add & I'll try my best to help you out.

OK, so Im working with kids about ages 7 to 10, although there is 1 6yr old and one who's 4. I've so run out of stuff to do with them! I need some game Ideas. They love Simon says, any kind of tag, froggy murderer, lots of different stuff. Plus, how do I get them to focus while theyre hyper?! PLZ HELPPP!

Offer them things to get them to calm down. Tell them if they behave, you'll give them a reward. Then make it something simple like a cookie or ten extra minutes outside. They'll be looking forward to it and there's a chance it could work.

For other things to do with them..
Play like..

- Red Light, Green Light.
- Red Rover.
- Play card games.
- Arts & Crafts

Good luck & that sounds like fun. :P

okay this is gonna be a REALLY long question and if you answer it i will absoultly love you for life and rate youu gooddd bc i need advice

kay soo ive wrote in about this kid before and this is what i hadd ok lasttt summer my best friend (lets call her A) was going out with this guy(lets call him M) and every time we would hang out it would be me my best friend her boyfriend and his best friend(lets call him P) , and then i started liking 'P' but i only told 'A' because i didnt really make a big thing of it bc he was a BIGG flirt , and then one night after we went to the movies 'M' told me that his friend liked me and me and him were pretty close and i REALLLYY trusted him , i would have trusted him with my life , and i talked to the guy i liked a few times and then like a week later he was at a different friends house and i was talking to him and then every once in a while like he'd say some like heyy babbbyy and stuff like that and thats not the kindof guy he was so i new it was his friend so i basically ignored it and then a few hours later , he went home and he imed 'A' and told her to tell me that he doesnt like me and hes not sure if he ever did. and now everytime we see each other its REALLY akward like we both just like look at each other for a second then look away and we have talked like twice since this whole situation, like 2 weeks later he imed me while i was away and i saw it but like i was soo pissed at how much he hurt me that i didnt respond.(it wasnt an im saying anything important it was just he was making funn of something i had on my a/m) and at halloween we talked a little but besides taht thats pretty much it but like im still like in love with the kid and i DONT want to be like he hurt me so much like i just want to move on, but like then again i dont bc i like him so much. so basically im in DESPRETE neeed for advicee bc i dont no what to do

okay so after everyone told me to move on. yeah well i tried REALLY hard. andd lately i have been thinking about him alott. because after he did try to talk to me but i ignored him bc i was so pissed at him for hurting me. and all that happend at the end of the summer and after we rarely saw each other bc we go to different schools. and im thinking about im'ing him and just telling him how i feel, but im not sure if i should bc i havent seen him in a couple month or even talked to him. so i dont want him to be like ew. so idk what should i doooooo.

and thank you for reading all thinkkk

Just go ahead and IM him. If you really like him that much, then it'll only make it harder to talk to him later on because there'll be more time that's gone by.

If he doesn't seem like he wants to talk or anything, give him a few more days and try it again. I don't think you should go right out and say how you feel right away. You should just become better friends with him first and do it that way.

Good luck & I hope it works out.
Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

okay im a 16/f and im finally starting driver's ed today! and im really nervous! because i have ADD. so its kind of going t obe hard to pay attention. so any tips to help me get through 2 hrs of driver's ed? help! ASAP!

Alright. I went through drivers ed last summer. :] I'm not sure if you're talking about the actual classes or driving, so I'll give you advice on both.

Classes:
I had it for 6 hours a day because I got all the classes done in 1 week. I hated it because it was so hot and the teacher wasn't really fun. I only knew one person in my class, so i'd talk to her. Overall, it wasn't too hard to pay attention. Just remember that you NEED to know the stuff he says, so it's necessary to pay attention. If you get bored in the class and don't wanna pay attention to the teacher, that's alright too. Just get the book they [should] give you, the drivers ed manual for your state, and read that. Either way, you'll be learning what you need to know.

Driving:
I had driving for two hours at a time and it was a lot of fun. The driving instructors for my driving school were so weird that it was funny. There's no way to "not" pay attention to driving. Just remember to listen to the instructors directions while they tell you random stuff about what you need to know for the actual License test. You'll do fine, i'm sure.


Happy Driving. :]

I'm a little nervous about what people say about high school. People say that high school is really a scary thing and that the older kids always pick on you. One of my older friends got molested at a high school party. (Problem Solved) Kids are always talking about the populars. I never had any problem with it in Middle Scool. And I really don't know what to expect ? Can anyone share expieriences and tell me the honest good and bad of high school ?

Hey. :]

I'm gonna be a senior next year, so i've been through three years of high school. It's really not as bad as you think. It's not "scary" or anything, and [at least at my school] people don't pick on you more than they do in Middle School.
I'm assuming you're gonna be a freshman so here are the good + bads of that year.

Good: Teachers are nice because they know you're new, you get to make tons of new friends, & it's like a fresh start because you're around so much new stuff.

Bad: It's more work than middle school & there's a chance you'll get lost in the beginning of the year since you don't know the school.

I'm sure you'll be fine.
After all, nobody's died from highschoolitis :D

a REALLY good tom hanks movie? i dont think this is in the right category, sorry =/

Cast Away.

It was such a good movie and the majority of people like it as much as I do. It'll always be one of my favorite movies. Here's a site for it if you would like to see more about it before you get it. I highly recommend seeing it if you haven't already.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0162222/

Also, if you don't like that one. You could try the Green Mile. It's long and is a totally different type of movie from Cast Away, but you may enjoy it more. I'm not sure what types of movies you like, so here..

http://imdb.com/title/tt0120689/

Hope you find one that you like. :]

School is starting in like less than a month...
and the cross country team is going to start training really soon. The thing is.. out of about the 200 kids in my class NOBODY is doing cross country because the coach is an ahole.
Plus, i have to run 3 MILES this year if i do it. And i cant stand the coach at all either. I dont do any other sports..i mean i love basketball but isnt it really hard to make the team in highschool?
I've already got running shoes, but my mom said we can return them if we need to. Do most people do sports in highschooL?? Cuz if i dont do cross country i will still go to the health club and run anyway...i just wont have the stupid coach. What should i do?

1] It wasn't very hard for me to make my school's basketball team. Then again, not many people tried out. It depends on how competitive basketball is where you live. If it's a really big deal there, then yeah it'll be harder to make the team. If there aren't many people trying out that you know of then go for it and try.

2] Once again, it depends on the high school. Some school's revolve around sports so many people play them.. other school's are more focused on academics. It all depends on your school.

3] If you're committed to going to the health club and running even without being on the cross country team, then I say go for it. Noone wants to be stuck with a bad coach and you don't want to be one of the only ones on the team. But keep in mind that college's like to see that people play sports.

Good luck in whatever you choose to do. :]

I'm 16. I've never drank, done drugs, or done anything with a guy. I'm pretty okay with that because I do really well in school, have never gotten in trouble before, and still have alot of fun with my friends. I actually have a good time just reading a book or watching TV or whatever. Is that weird? I mean, I kind of hang out with a really straight-edged kind of group of people, and I don't really mind that. Am I the only one in high school who actually IS a good girl like that? Because sometimes I feel like everybody's out getting drunk at crazy parties while I'm at home reading a book. Haha. Hopefully good things come to those who wait and DON'T make stupid decisions in high school? I just don't want to look back at high school when I'm older and wish I did crazier stuff... What do you think?

No worries. I'm pretty much just like you. I never drink, smoke, etc. I hang out with basic people and I'd rather stay home anyways. I agree about not wanting to look back and see this plain person I was, but you gotta remember the downsides to having a "crazy" lifestyle. You could get caught drinking/smoking and get in a lot of trouble with your parents/the police. It'd just be embarassing to look back to that.

Just stay the way you are. :]

last summer was the best summer of my life i met the lov of my life we were best frinds for the whole summer and we knew we liked eachother everything was so perfect then he aske dme out in october and we've been going out for 9 months now las month i cheated on him and everythings so different now well even befor ei cheated on him things changed we still love eachother to deatha nd we cant be without eachother but last summer was awesome becasue we were always having fun and now we argue a lot how do we bring back how it used to be? please help

I don't think you can really bring it back to how it used to be. You must have known while you were cheating on him that things had changed. If you really loved him as much as you're telling us, you wouldn't have cheated on him. I'm not surprised things are different, seeing as you broke the trust in that relationship. Maybe you can make a scrapbook or something from last summer to show him how things used to be and tell him [and mean it when you say it] that you'll never cheat on him again. Tell him you miss how it was before and that you don't want to fight anymore.

I'm afraid to say there's not much else you can do.

im 13/f and i want a good looking phone that can take pictures, perhaps take videos, and isnt TOO expensive. im thinking of asking my parents to get me the Lg enV or the Sidekick3 or the Verizon Chocolate phone... overall which one is the best for me and like otherwise do you know other phones like this that are kinda new and look cute like these do? thanks!

I can only help you with one part of this. I can tell you lots about my phone. I have the White Chocolate one, so I'll tell you what it's like to have it. I personally don't like this phone all that much. I'm pretty sure I got it for christmas so i've had it for a little over 7 months. It's very sensitive and tends to call people when it's in my purse because the buttons are very touchy. You can take pictures and videos, but the phone [or at least mine] you had to buy your own games and they were around $8 each. My friend who has the same phone told me that there's only like, one thing in the phone that holds the phone together so if that strand breaks, the phone falls apart.

I just don't suggest you get a Chocolate.

Hi. So, I saw that you had answered a question stating that you used to have long, straight hair, and then got side bangs. This is exactly what I want to do! I have long, straight, boring, blond hair that is parted to the side. When you went to the salon, what did you ask for? Also, you went to a salon right? I don't think I'd trust anything else. I'm also of getting my hair tapered in the front. Is that what you did? Thank you so much. I'm really confused because I've basically had the same style my whole life, and I really feel a need for change!

Oh, no problem. :]

Okay. I went to some place that's considered a salon because they do hair colorings, etc. I wasn't sure of what to get for my hair when I got there but I talked about it with the hairdresser and she basically chose what she thought would look best. She washed my hair first because I guess she works better with that [even though my hair was clean, lol]. Then she had me sit down and decided to do long layers [which are always nice because they make the bottom of your hair look so much better.] I also wanted some sort of bangs but because I have cowlick's in the front, they can't give me regular bangs so I got sidebangs instead. I basically just said I wanted sidebangs and she understood. Honestly, I don't know what "hair tapered" would look like, so I highly doubt I got that.

Just ask her for long layers and sidebangs, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. :]
[Remember, it takes a day or two to get used to.]
