Does anyone know any good song lyrics about a girl and a guy being just friends, but the girl really likes that guy? Or about a guy not seeing that a girl really likes him? Thanks in advance (link)
|
The song "You Don't Know Me" is maybe what you're looking for?

There's the lyrics.

On the last day of school (the 20th for me) my friend wants me to walk to Rita's Water Ice with her. It's only a few minutes away from school. My mom won't let me. How can I persaude her to let me go? I'll tell her i'll bring my cell phone, and the roads we're going on all have sidewalks, and she can pick me up when we're ready to leave. (link)

Get more friends to go. Your best bet is to try and have a large group. Two people might run into trouble, especially in a worried mom's mind, but if there are four or five, it is safer. Go with lots of friends your mom already knows and trusts, in addition to the other precautions. It may help.

Like I tell everyone on diet things, make sure you eat enough calories every day. Aim for 1500, and never go below 1000, ever.
As to quick and tasty things:
Chicken is immensely versatile, so it is good to keep some baked chicken breasts on hand. For example, chicken tacos take all of 5 minutes to make (take tortilla, put lettuce, tomato, chicken, cheese, salsa, etc.), and if you don't put much cheese and avoid sour cream, there will be hardly any fat.
Fish is also very good. Lots of healthy fats.
Whole wheat pasta is delicious and much healthier. Drizzle with olive oil, add a dash of rosemary, and you have a simple delight.
Fruit bars and sorbets are good desserts. Fruit bars (the 100% fruit or juice ones) are relatively low in calories, and taste great. And sorbets are great for cleansing the palate, leaving you refreshed, and not craving more food.
Also, try drinking tea in the mornings. It is a pleasant way to start the day, and again, healthy. Sweeten it with honey or raw sugar. Green tea is my recommendation.

i really just want to commit suicide. i just can't stand my life anymore. i just feel like i would be better in heaven where i would have no worries. someone please help. i can only take so much. i don't know how to cope. i'm just going to end up killing myself. i know i am. i have no reason to live. (link)
|
Think about this: you have thrown yourself upon the mercy of total strangers, and all of them want you to live.
We don't even know you, and we want you to live.
Now think of your friends and family. They know and love you. They'd be miserable if you commited suicide.
Look, if you ever need to talk or vent or something, feel free to drop me a line. I, among many others, want to help you.

My friends really think I've got mental problems! Not seriously, but it's getting out of hand. I have always been like a kid--- i still love cartoons, video games and i still talk like a kid when im not nervous; like if around my friends, Im completely myself. And thats always been a problem because whem Im myself, Im crazy and hyper. So lately, my friends and people i hardly know from my school are saying that I have a mental problem. I know it sounds dumb, but I hate it!
I told my friend that there is nothing wrong, and they all say they are just joking around when they say i have ADD or OCD, but the other people at my school dont know this. Sure, school is almost over, but I really dont want to continue with this stupid rumor! And I can't even set the record straight that I have no problem, because the rumor is based on how I act, which is kidishly. I really cant sit still or I play with things and I make up wacko words.
Is there a way to show, well sure, im not normal, but just not crazy? Thanks.

You sound like my sister, lol.
Just ignore any rumors. They aren't worth fretting over. There isn't anything wrong with being crazy and hyper, and loving cartoons and video games.
You could, if you felt the need, educate your friends on what crazy really is. But I doubt they'd enjoy sitting through a psych lesson. ^^

What are some brands of mascara that make eyelashes REALLY long? I have an okay mascara by Clinique, but it gets kind of gloppy. So could you write if you have any preferable types that fit the description? (link)
| |
Great Lash by Maybelline. You'll recognize the pink and green container. Most of my friends and family use it.

My friend ran away from home 2 months ago without cleaning her room, and shes a naturally messy person. She has just moved back in and found a whole load of bugs in her room. She didn't leave food in her room, but it is now infected with mealworms and beatles. She wants to know why, and how to get rid of them. (link)
|
Call an exterminator or something. Or get a lizard and let him roam around, lol.
They may have come from something else in the pile. Who knows?

If you put a drawing on the internet that you traced on say deviantart.com is it legal as long as you specify where you traced from? Ex. You put your drawing up and in the description say "this was traced from [link]" I looked on their website and could not find anything about my question. (link)
| |
You could, but I'd put it in scraps, not as a deviation. If you give credit where credit is due, then you aren't stealing art.

Ok well my sister has this friend, 17/m, that I have a HUGE crush on but the problem is he's confused about his sexuality. I really like this guy and it seems like he likes me too but he could turn gay. What should I do? I really like him A LOT. (link)
|
Ask him out! If he's gay, he's gay, and you'll just have a friend.
The same thing happened to my sister. She had a huge crush on a guy, then found out he was gay... they're really good friends now.
|
Yeah, my granmother just died, we're having a funeral for her on saturday, and I don't want to be there. My dad says "Its not your decision to make" does anyone have some persuasion techniques? Or have you ever heard of a way to convince someone to do something your way?
I don't want to go. What' sthe best way to say it so I get to stay?? (link)
| |
Tell him honestly why you don't want to go. That is probably the best thing to do.

Ok I know smoking is bad for you and that I shouldn't do it. Im a 15/f and been smoking for I would say bout 2 maybe 3 yrs. I have tried to quit before and I can't.Now I'm trying to lose weight and I have heard it helps keep off the pounds. Is it true?(please don't lie so I will quit I want a honest answer.) (link)
| |
Smoking does help you lose weight, but not in a very healthy way. So don't let that influence your decision. There are many more ways to lose weight.

Hi, i am 15 nearly 16 and my teenage years which i should be enjoying are being ruined. ever since i was young i have had an obsession with babies and at one point i almost slept with someone i had only just met, to get pregnant. luckily i couldn't go through with it and after a while and a great deal of thinking i managed to bottle these feelings up and get on with my life and hopefully get a degree to become a high school teacher. Since i have entered year 10 i have been taking child development which is 90% about babies, also a girl in the year below me is pregnant and is really excited and I'm just so jealous! everyone i have talked to said "it just my hormones" or "its just a faze" but its not, its more than that. it is making me depressed and my GCSE's are suffering because i cant tell the teachers why i am always so down and moody so they just assume i am being immature, then cocky when i say that I'm not being immature. I'm not a big clubbing fan so if i did get pregnant that wouldn't bother me and my best mate had a child at 16 (she is now 19) and she says its great and she hasn't missed out anything she wouldn't sacrifice anyway. please help me, i just don't no what to do! (link)

What I would recommend doing is volunteering somewhere where you would be able to work with babies. For example, many hospitals have volunteers who hold and play with at-risk babies. Please don't try to have a baby yet. Wait until you at least finish highschool, have a decent guy, etc. With babies, you never know what will happen. You may have a little angel, perfect, sweet, and sleeps a lot. But you may not. My aunt has daughter who is autistic. As a single mom, it is very difficult for her to take care of her and her sister. But another family friend of ours also has an autistic child, and, because of her husband's help, it is much easier for her to take care of her autistic son and his older brother.
So please think carefully. You may be mature enough, I don't know you well enough to judge in that respect. But don't do something you may regret.

It's kinda annoying about my younger sister.(We have an age gap of seven years) Back when I was her age, our family didnt have that much money. And I only attented a decent school that's close to our rented house.When I was in nursery and kindergarten,I had to use a trycicle to get to school. When my sister was born, we moved to a new house--that we owned. And we earned a lot more money too.This year,my sister started kindergarten. And she's enrolled to a big private chinese school.(we're part chinese)And her classes start in the afternoon!When I was in kindergarten.I had to wake up earlier before the sun does!And now that we can afford a car,my family can just take her and pick her up from school. I just thought about it now. I just wanna stop feeling sorry for myself.I don't think I'm envious cause I'm not the jealous type.I just thought that maybe she has a better childhood than I did. I don't wanna think that way, but how do i stop? please help...

You can maybe think about what she doesn't have. It seems odd really, but you are probably a stronger person now because of your harder childhood. Your sister doesn't have that. She seems to be sheltered. Someday, she won't have that any more, and you'll help her cope with it, because you'll have learned to a long time ago.

Okay. Well, I just turned 13, and I'm 5'7. The average weight for a person that is 5'7 is 135 lbs. I'm 130 but I feel over weight. I ask people that I know would tell me the truth if I was fat and they say no. I have large breasts as well, would that be a reason?
Am I fat?
(link)
|
You are a perfectly normal weight. Believe me. ^^
Also, having large breasts may make you feel overweight, because clothing doesn't fit right. I know how you feel in that respect. But look on the bright side! Most girls would do almost anything for your chest. ^^

do you guys know of any way I can get rid of my sore throat? I have a throat infection plus strep. They gave me vicoden and amocticillian, but it still hurts a little. Any ideas? I want to kick this thing and fast. It takes every bit of strength out of me. (link)
|
Honey and lemon works for quick relief. Plus it tastes good.
Also, cough drops can help soothe your throat.

I have the urge to write a story for some reason, but I can't think of anything people would want to read. I'm thinking of like a chapter book, something I can make a summer project out of. But the problem is, I always have problems figuring out what to write about! I want it to be from the point of a teenage girl, something I can relate to being, and then have an interesting plotline that follows. Something about going through a hard time. It could have to do with relationships, but also something beyond that too. Set in the present time. So tell me, what would you guys like to read??
BTW, I am good at descriptive writing.
I will rate high and thanks so much in advance! (link)

What I read runs the gamut, basically everything except romance novels. Most recent reads were the Dark Tower series by Steven King, and Zorro by Isabel Allende.
When I write, I usually start with a character. I try to imagine them, what they do, how they live, then create the people around them. I usually leave the plot for last, and make something that works with the characters.
Another thing you could do is to create a sort of fictionalized version of events in your life. Create a different character, and put her through what you go through. How would she handle it?

I would love to make the task of cleaning the cat's litter box easier, but I'm not sure how.
I am confused about all of the choices there are for self-cleaning litter boxes. And some are very expensive.
Does anybody have any experience with automatic litter boxes? Like LitterMaid, and those kinds? Are some better than others? (link)
|
I don't have one, but my teacher does, and she loves it.
But if you don't feel like buying one yet, try using the liners. You can find them almost anywhere, and cleanup is much faster.

I NEED YOUR ADVICE!! i am 13 and been wanting to pluck my eyebrows forever! and i secretly have. i have been plucking them with my fingers and sometimes using my moms tweezer. but i just dont know how to ask my mom if i can REALY pluck my eyebrows. and i am afriad she will ask me if i have been using her tweezer and i dont want her to get mad at me. if you pluck your eyebrows, i was just wondering what you asked your mom. i am pretty sure my mom will say yes but i want to know how to say it to her.

My mom brought it up. ^^
Just tell her you've been thinking about it, and what she thinks would look good. She'll probably feel flattered that you asked for her advice.

Does anyone know any really easy hairstyles? My hair is about 2-3 inches below my shoulders. My hair is REDICULOUSLY thick. To the point where hairdressers get frustrated dealing with it.
I need some really easy hairstyles. Besides ponytails and messy buns.
Please Help, I'm tired of having ordinary hair =( (link)
|
Layer it. Layers will make it much easier. Also, you can flip out the ends a bit.
You can also ask the hair dresser to thin your hair.

i became being belimic a little bit ago because im starting to dislike my eating habits. dont worry im probably going to eat reguarly soon. i havent researched it that much but i was wondering how throwing up is bad for you? i mean, the food goes down in your stomach and takes nutrients out of the food but all it does is make the rest come up again. whats wrong with that? the excess food exit the body later anyway. just in a different way. (link)
|
Your body takes nutrients from the food when it is on your intestines. Not your stomach. So it does not help.
Also, the stomach acid can hurt your throat.
