about

they would call me sarah, but it seems that people are afraid to address me by my name. i am a senior. i dislike a lot of things. i enjoy a nice hot medium mocha latte and smoke too many cigarettes for my own good. i have been in love. i love lights and colors. i am above the influence.


advice

Ok the subject sounds a little harsh for what I am about to say. My brother watches porn. I mean alot of porn. Its not really occasional, it's routinely. Sometimes I feel bad because, I get a little curious and I watch a video, but I mean now sometimes I feel sick. I regret ever watching the video because all I can think of is its contents. Thats not all I have seen, I have seen pictures and things on TV. I wish I had never seen any of it, because now my mind wanders to places I don't want it to wander. Does anybody else have this problem? Is there anyway for me to restore my "innocence"?

Wow, it was probabally hard for you to be drawn into a situation like that! My Advice would be to stay away from the videos and/or channels that conatian anything that you want to consider off limits. When your brother is "enjoying himself" stay away from him. Listen to music, read a book, get out of the house!

About your innocence, pray that you can forget or at least not do it again and over time the vividness of the images will fade. Good luck!

what's anarchy? like will someone explain it to me because one of my skater friends is obsessed with it. he carves it into his walls in his room and his arm. but what is it?

From Webster online!


1: absence of government

b : a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority
c : a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government
2 a : absence or denial of any authority or established order
b : absence of order :

Is he a rebel? That could explain it, but carving it in his arm? Yikes!

We need a government!

14/f hi! okay i am getting this tattoo http://www.tattoos-by-design.co.uk/Celebrities/cttattoo.asp?celeb_id=8&tattoo=21 on my right shoulder blade on my back.. and i was wondering like if i should get it the same color as the one in the picture.. or if i should make the inside of the rosary beads a different color.. i will rate 5's for any answers :-)

Um...you're 14?? Though I'm going to answer your question I'm going to STRONGLY advise you not to get a tattoo at such a young age. Though they are of Rosary beads, do you really want them for life? I have heard that tattoos are VERY painful to remove so please rethink your decision from a position in the future.

If you want advice on the color, All ink fades to a green or dull gray over time so I would reccomend just getting black like in the picture.

God Bless

I've decided to make a army tank cake, and we're going to play grenade toss (sort of like hot potato, but with a water balloon), and water grenade war, and they'll have to guess how many POW's are in a jar full of little army men. I'd like to come up with a game for the littler kids that can't participate in the water balloon fight. I was thinking of something along the lines of pin the tail on the donkey with an army twist, any ideas?

Um...pin the hat on GI Joe??

Hi i got a letter in the mail (yeah mail lol) and its from People to People International. Its says im invite to travel and study in England Wales and Ireland (many places i would love to go). Well i called the place and they said i could Better Business Beau ( i guess thats haow its spelled) and they said the trip will cost around 2,600-5,200 depending if i do fundraisers or qualify for scholarships. Now heres my questions
1. Has anyone done this or anything else from the place/ company i guess you call it
2. is that a good price considering im in florida.?
Thank you for all your help
~Melissa
P.S. i know my spelling and grammer isnt the best so please try and excuse it.

Hmm...whre should I start with the info...?

Though I have never done it, I think People to People is an awesome program!! You get a chance to go to other countries and stay with people from that country and go to their school and all that jazz!!

The People to People organization only send out invites to gifted students (though I'm not sure where the line for "gifted" is) I'm homeschooled, but attended a week long camp at a college and took some cool courses for the week so that's how they got my name.

First, I reccomend, If you haven't already, attend the informational session they should have in your area, you'll learn a lot more about the program and see what a great time other kids have had! This was very helpful to me but unfortunately I wasn't able to go because of the money.

About the money, I live in PA and that's what they told me it would cost as well so I don't think they chare differently depending on where you are...

I think that if you are willing to go the distance and make the money This could be the experiance of a lifetime. (And somthing to brag about to your friends hehehehe!)

Go for it girl!!!!!!!

hello,how much faster does hair and mane shampoo make you hair grow from you experience?

Hmm...I can't really say because i've only used it at a freinds house after sleeping over so I don't know because I don't use it regularly. But she says it grows faster, and thicker.

I wish I could help you though.

Actually, just found this site...

Well i have a boyfriend but i also like this other guy.I don't know if i should break up with my boyfriend to be with someone else i really.also things between my boyfriend and me haven't been the same.I don't know what to do!!HELP!!!

Well, are you just with your BF for the sake of calling him your boyfriend? Is he popular and is that what you like or perhaps you've jut been with him for so long you want it to stay that way. But do you really love him the same way as when you were first together? If not then just break it off (gently if he still likes you) and then wait a week before starting a new relationship bso your guy won't think that you dumped him just for this other guy.

Good Luck

i have fine hair how ican i add body, like a special hair cut or some product maybe?

Yes, a cut would do it! Somthing witha lot of layers the you're going to have to style. Anr Moose will help if you put it at the roots and scrunch, lookon google for tips, I can't list all the links here!

It helps if you give your stylist somthing to work off of otherwise what you say, and what she hears migt not produce the best result. (It's happenedto me!) Here are some ideas for thin hair.

does anyone have any good idea for hairstyle when your growing your bangs out? Or know of a website that has some ideas of how i can were my hair when i am growing out my bangs.

Definately go for side-swept bangs! I'm growing mine out right now and they are the way to go! Just part your hair off to the side (or at least your bangs) and comb them over! Tis works no matter how short they are and will look better as the get longer! Sorry that I couldn't find a pic!

i hate myself. i'm extremely self-conscious. i have zero self-esteem. are there any ways to start feeling better about my self, or to boost my confidence?

You know, a lot of people will tell you to write down a list of things you like about yourself, but if you have no self esteem then the problem is you don't have anyhting you like about yourself!

Instead, I suggest that you go shopping with a good friend and get a few outfits that you love and will feel good or even *sexy* wearing. Then get a manicure and maybe your hair done.

If you don't like yourself. people will be able to tell and will know you're not self confident so try and like yourself the way you are, because your friends do!!!

Well... this is kind of a random question, but what do guys 13-16 talk about with their friends?

Girls?

Cars?

Yup as well as sports, tv, movies, viedeo games, those trading card games, music and basically anything "manly."lol

But most of the time when most guys I hear talk to other guys their conversatons are limited to "yes" "no" "that sucks" "freakin'" and "cool"

...you know, because they have such big brains (apologies to josh and Tony

okay i'm make this plain and simple: i have huge pores on my nose! i get blackheads easily, and i have tried a lot of products, but i'm not quite "consistent" w/using them every night or w/e. i might use them for 3 days in a row but then i won't for like a week or two. i can't keep up w/it every night/every monrning. is there any product that you can use every other night or less often??? thanks

Nope, you need to be persistant to achove results, if you really want it badly you'll keep it up. I mean, the bathroom is on the way to bed so just do it at night and in the orning when you take a shower or AT LEAST ONCE a day! This may shound gross but you can try to out pressure on either sides of the blackheads and gently squeeze then wipe your nose with witchazel or Seabrease. Clean and Clear works also well as a facial wash.

If yur on the 1st day of yur period, but yur flow is just normal, not heave and not light, can yu go swimming w/o a tampon? Like is there anything yu can use or do to go swimming w/o a tampon. Dont talk about how easy to use and comfortable tampons r, thats not what i care about. Plees help, i rate high

Okay, if your flow is fairly light and you'r not worried that it might get heavier than go ahead. I've done it and though you really can't tell or see the blood in the pool, afterwars it might get on your suit or towel so it might be good to put on a pair of shorts right afterwards.

About hygine, thats what the chemicals in the pool are for so don't worry about spreading HIVs.

If the worst happens and you start bleeding heavily get out and your friends will probablly forget about it anyway.

Good Luck and Happy Swimming

ok this is more of a question for the guys...but mabe the girls can answer it too

why do guys lie?!?!

i have a guy friend and hes awesome! but he ALWAYS tell me he loves me and i KNO hes lieing...he tells every girl he loves her...and he goes out with every girl...and cheats on every girl

i kno ALL guys dont do this...but i just wanna know why some do

Hahaha - good question! Guys lie because most of the time they only care about what they want! Apparently in their theory, lying is okay...as long as the concequences aren't too harsh.

But in your case, If this is only a friend your talking abould and he's not actually hinting that he likes you, then I would say he really means it. I have guy friends who tell my they love me all the time and I luv them back! real friends are forverver, boyfriends are whatever!

Look at his actions more than his words and if he acts like he really cares about you, belive him!

All the jeans I have are baggy and theyre slim sizes! But if i try a smaller size it will be too short. Does anyone have tips for tighter jeans?

Long for "long" sizes, it will be marked on the tags as long. They do make them but they may be a little difficult to find!
