Hi, my name is Katie and I'm 15 years old. In those fifteen years I've literally been through more than most people go through in their entire life. I absolutely love helping people, and I've been told by many people that I'm good at it. I'll definitely love to give you advice, but I'm telling you right now I will say what I think, I'm not going to sugar coat everything or tell you what you want to hear just so you'll give me good ratings. So if you have any questions, about anything at all, just ask away, I'd be more than happy to help =]

Try reading other books by the author of Drowning Anna.
Chances are you'll like it since you liked the first one.

It looks to me like cartoon and then a sepia tinting to it.
Try that and see if it's the same thing.
Because that's what it looks like to me.

PS- You're very pretty and talented to edit your pictures like that =]

I dont think this is under the right topic but,
Well lets just say i have no life, i like being involved in stuff but im just not. my mom is always saying go do somthing or stuff like that. does anyone have any ideas on stuff i can do or things i can get involved in instead of just sports.
Thanx (link)

Church is a great way to meet new friends, everyone is really friendly and nice and accepting.
If you aren't relegious then there are all sorts of clubs you can join through school. Drama, art, Spanish/French/German, anything you like really.
Music lessons are an okay way to meet friends. And I hate to say it, but sports are the best way to meet lots of people and become great friends.
Well I hope you find something you like.

what's a perm? i know you guys think i'm crazy cause i dont know... but i know it has to do with like, curliness. (link)

You go to the salon and get it, a perm is a hairstyle that keeps your hair curly for a few months.

Ok, i have frizzy and poofy and fuzzy hair. Does anyone know what kind of spray can take this away? or gel or anyhing? (link)
|
Try the green (frizz) and blue (poof) shampoo/conditioners/creams from Sunsilk! Go to www.gethairapy.com for a free sample.
I alternate them and they both work very, very, very well!!

so, there is a guy in my class, and his name is Michael. i REALLY like him! he ism cute and REALLY funny and he is the nicest guy in the class. but i am sad because i know that he will probably neveer like me. i know this because i can tell he likes talisha (my friend). he alsways talks to her and hardly ever me. i dnt care that he talks to her, i just wish he would talk ot me sometimes. i talk to him alot and he talks to me bak but he wouldnt start a conversation. i only met him last here and he knows talisha from ages ago.
PLEAE ANSWER MY QUESTION:
how can i get him to like me more? (link)
|
The cold, hard fact is you can't make someone like you. If someone doesn't have feelings for you then you can't make them change their minds.
Imagine some wierd kid you think is gross really liking you. Would you go out with him out of sympathy? Nope, so it's the same way with Michael. I'm not saying your wierd and gross, I'm just setting an example for you.
I know this isnt' what you wanted to hear, but I think the best thing is to move on.

does anyone ever cry their selves to sleep?
i know i do at least once a week.
is that normal?
PLEASE answer both my questions if you can.
thank-youu
-natalieee (link)

1. Yes, I have.
2. Yes, you have feelings.. it's normal to let them get to you every now and then. Crying is a way of releasing all of your thoughts/emotions. It's not bad for you.

:(hello again everyone
i have another question
at school in my class, we play truth or dare when the teacher doesnt look. when we play we play it pretty bad, we say stuff like "i dare you to touch Jakes balls" or soome thing like that, it is really embarassing and stupid, but we have fun still. when it gets around to me having a turn and i have to kiss some one they always say stuff like "why does she have to kiss ME?" and stuff like that. But if another girl had to do it, for example : talisha, natasha or Stacey. the boys would probably turn their heads so they girls kiss their lips. and i think i know why. i think it is because i am not really that pretty and i have NO boobs, every girl in my class has boobs, except for me. and i hate it sooooo bad. i wanna scream out loud and tell the boys to get over the fact that i was dared to kiss or touch them.
what should i do? and should i worry about it sooo much?:( SORRY FOR THIS BEING SOO LONG lol... (link)
|
I know how you feel. I'm not pretty, and my boobs aren't as big as the other girls either. So I know exactly what you're going though.
Just act like it doens't bother you, even though it's hard because it bothers you alot and you probably think about this all the time.
Next time you're dared to do something, turn the tables around. Start complaining about the guy and not let him complain about you. It'll really blow their minds :D

what is hardcore? cuz i'm not sure. can u give me some exsamples maby? (link)
|
Hardcore is just a word to describe something. Like if you want to say that's so cool, then replace cool with hardcore.
Scene kids use it alot.

how can i talk a girl into kissing me and plz give helpful advise thank you
p.s. im 13 year old boy (link)
|
Well, first off I think she should be going out with you. I don't think you can really "talk a girl into kissing you". It's just not likely to happen unless you two are involved in a relationship. And if you are dating, then you should kiss her first.. she's actually probably waiting for it! So the sooner the better! =]

14/m My friend is a year older than me and has a boyfriend, but she likes me and is not sure whether to break up with him and date me or not. So what do I do...? (link)
|
Well, I don't think it's up to you to do anything. It's ultimately her descision. Just let her decided what she wants, and be there for her whatever choice your friend makes.

This is So pretty!! What kind of animal is it? Is it a peacock, because I don't think it is! (link)
|
I googled it for you. You were right, it's a peacock. It's a kind of peacock though, it's called a white peacock.
And I agree, it's a beautiful bird!!

I started eating a little less and excersizing a little more. I still eat some junk food. I mean, I barely thought this diet thing would work. But now, since about a week or two ago, I have already lost 5.5 pounds. Is that too much? I guess I'm the kind of person that needs to eat alot. Should I eat more? Or is this too much? ... (link)
|
It's not good or bad, it's average. It's regular for a person to lose more weight the first couple of weeks because there is alot to lose. You'll notice over the next couple of weeks you'll only lose 2 or maybe 3 pounds.
I admire you for sticking you a diet/excersise plan. I never can go through with them =/

Enjoy!!

My sister just let me know that our dog, who is really old (around 17) has been in pain and has been having trouble walking/balancing. The other night, she noticed he was crying and that he was lying on his stomach, on all legs (spread across the floor). She took him to the vet today, and he said that since our dog is old, he has pinched nerves and is in pain.. so he gave him an injection (not sure what) and took a blood test. He also has a prescription for steroids. We're going to see how he feels after a while.. if he is still in pain, we may have to put him to sleep.
Anyway, my question is: has anyone ever heard of this, and how common is it? Also, what are the chances that my dog (at his old age) will actually feel better with the meds? I have a feeling we may have to put him to sleep soon :( (link)
|
The sad truth is that the best thing for the dog right now is to be put to sleep. He's getting old, plain and simple. With age for dogs comes pain, medication or no. It's best to put him out of his misery.
I know it'll be hard for you and your family, believe me, I have a dog who I consider my own son and I have no idea what I'd do if I was in a situation like this. But would you rather have a living dog that's in pain just so you can have him.. or stop his misery?
Good luck!

i totally envy those girls with really curly hair. and i was wondering, is there ANYTHING i can get to make my hair curly. ive always had pretty wavy/kinda curly hair hair so yeah..thanks! (link)
|
Wow, let me tell you I have natural curly hair.. frizzy ringlet types and you should be thanking God that you don't have it. It's such a pain. The only reason I have straight hair in my picture is because my friend took three, yes THREE hours to straighten it!!
But if you really want curly hair, try a perm. It costs a little bit, but it lasts for a while!!
-Katie
|
first off,I heard that you should wash your hair every other day to make it healthy...what does the term"every other day" mean???
2nd,what can I do to stop my hair from thinning and regain more hair growth?
3rd,i heard conditioner is bad for your hair,is that true?
4th, can wearing a cap spoil your hair??
5th,can piercings spoil your hair.and do the CBR,or piercing rings such as lip rings contain copper?
thanks a lot (link)
|
1. Every other day means every two days. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. OR Teusday, Thursday, Saturday, Monday.
2. Buy products that specify in that area of thickening hair.. volume.
3. No, it's healthy for your hair!
4. No, it just makes your head sweat more which means more oil is on your head which means you need to wash your hair. It doesn't 'spoin' you hair.
5. Piercings? They have nothing to do with your hair as far as I know!

I'm a 17/f and when I was 14, I went out on a limb and asked my crush to homecoming. I think I scared him away because I was overconfident and he ended up not talking to me and avoiding me. Which is understandable I guess. Now, a few years later, we have a few classes together, we've been lab partners lately, and we're starting to be... idk... like school friends I guess? Now, I have a boyfriend and everything and I'm happy, but I wouldn't mind being friends with this guy. I can't help but wonder if he thinks I'm a weirdo or if he thinks I still like him. Whenever we're having a conversation, even about homework, I can't help but think that we're both thinking about how stupid I was a few years back. Any ideas for conversation starters to avoid awkward moments? (link)
|
The same thing happened to me a while back. I actually don't even talk to the guy anymore, kinda avoid each other like you said.
But I guess you could talk about things you have in common. Mention your boyfriend and subtly that way he gets the hint that you have no feelings for him anymore. Maybe that'll relieve some of the "Does she still like me" akwardness.

For a school field trip we are going to siz flags. it sounds so much fun, but the problem is, I'm like deathly afraid of roller coasters. and its like a science thing so after we ride a coaster we have to answer science questions about it. i cant ride them! im scared of everything about them. i dont know what to do. how can i overcome my fear? should i skip school that day and not go? (link)
|
Okay, I know you probably won't follow my advice, but I'll say it anyway.
Just get on one!
I used to be deathly afraid of them too. One day I just made myself sit down in the seat and I locked the handbar in really fast so that I couldn't change my mind. Boy am I glad I made myself rie one. The adreniline is amazing, and the rides are so fun! You will love it!! Believe me, trust me. Just make yourself get on it. Don't skip school.
I know you probably won't ride them, but believe me you'll be happy if you do!
Write me back after your field trip and tell me what happened, okay? I'd love for you to write back and say how much you loved the rides =]
