I'm a 15-year-old aspiring journalist. I'm also really into singing, acting, debating, musical theatre and playing the piano. I was raised an Orthodox Jew, but I consider myself somewhat of a Deist (belief in God as a distant figure who isn't involved in personal life). I learn from my mistakes and give advice based on what life has taught me and general knowledge.

I have been singing for a couple years now.. but my voice its still in training.
My question is, how do you make an airy voice stronger?
Thanks (link)
| |
I've been taking voice lessons for about 3 years and I still take them. Strong breath support, especially on the upper notes, is good.

What's Buddhism and some of the ideas? I think I might want to convert. A friend said they are a lot happier since reading about it. (link)
| |
Buddhism believes that there is no god or gods and the idea of reincarnation. They reject the social hierarchy. They're very into peace and meditation, and they're mostly pacfists.

(FYI I'ma guy) My friend (lets call her T) called me and said that she could probably come over as we talked about a cuopple days before. I walked her back to my house and we talked pretty much the whole time. We can just talk for hours on end about nothing, I love that. It was just towards the end of our visit that I kissed her.. It didn't seem to affect her, but then I started to get physical after we stopped playing this slapping game :P. We ended up having oral sex among other things... After everything happend we just put on our clothes and I walked her back home like nothing happend. The thing is I'm confused, and I don't know how to greet her from now on. I kinda feel like a man whore. Was that kind of like a one night stand? Or the start of a bigger relationship? Help please =/ (link)
| |
Oh God....wow. Does it seem like she likes you? If it doesn't, then yeah, it was just a one-time thing. If she does like you, then ask her out.

okay so tonight i went out with a guy that i know pretty well. we both like each other and we have french kissed once as friends. so this was kind of our second date i guess. anyway we were at a friends house with a few people. they said if we wanted to chill alone there was a guest room in the house so we both knew why we were going in there. so we of course started to make out and then we got under the covers and he took his shirt off and then i took off my bra etc. so i took my jeans off so i was completely naked then. he was too and he was saying how far have you gone and i said i've given a guy a hand job sorta before. and he said hes kinda at the same experience level as me. and then he said i mean would you give head i mean you dont have to and i said i wasn't ready yet. and of course i try to give him a hand job and he says it would be easier if my hand was wet so i did. and he said you know it might be easier if you wet it with you mouth because my mouth was so dry for some reason. so i did and then it still didnt work so we both went into the bathroom butt naked and i gave him a hand job. and then he goes pee and he says so do you want to go back outside. and i said yeah. i just feel so violated but i feel like it is my fault. and i feel like such as ho/slut. (link)
| |
You're not a slut. It's this guy's fault. He's like most high school guys, only out there to hook up. Don't worry.

I'm getting a blood test next week and I smoked weed and cigs this weekend, they're testing for hypothyroidism, so since theyre testing for my thyroid they wont be looking for drugs and stuff will they? will my parents find out? (link)
| |
Even if they do find something, they can't report it to your parents because of Patient Confidentiality Law (or whatever it's called).

Female. 13.
Well, I like two guys. Both of them like me back. I like one [andy] more than the other [sid]. Well, Andy is 17 [yeah yeah i know] and Sid is in my grade. So, Sid asks me out today, and I say no because I like Andy more. But after I thought about it I really do like Sid a lot. Now, I feel like a complete idiot. I gave Sid a hug, and he said it's okay and stuff like that but i just feel like a witch! :[ At the same time though I h don't wanna go out with him. It's superrr weird. I really don't know what I want.
[more about andy]
He's really nice and likes me a lot. He even spraypainted my name on his board. But, we aren't like going out or anything. I know he seems too old for me and all but I really like him.
I'm so confused.
Seriously, what the heck should I do? (link)
| |
Andy's too old for you. I'll tell you that now. Four years is too much for teenagers. It isn't right of him to like you.

15/f. let's start this off with a have a lot of friends and i'm positive they care about me. i have this obsession about always having to look the best, be the best and do everything the best. nobody can really notice it though because i keep it to myself. i KNOW im definetly not the best but i have this obsession of trying. like if i see someone wearing something that i really like the next day i just have to get it, it's not the money thats a problem its just what could make me be happy with what i have now? thanks lots~ (link)
| |
I actually have this problem too. I know that doesn't really help you, but it's true. I guess what I do to get out of a mood is do something or get something really fabulous that I get a lot of recognition for. I set myself apart. Maybe you should try it.

i have curly hair and its extremely hard to straighten it. How can i straighten it without the blower? Do you know of any good straighting irons? cause my is bad. (link)
| |
I have a good one from Revlon. I'm found that thinner irons work better than thicker ones, though I'm not sure why. Try a thin iron.

I don't understand this...I'm already in the 9th grade...and ALL of my friends have boyfriends! What do guys look for in a girl? Because, to me, it looks like I don't have it. I'm NOT a pushover, I don't dress slutty, and I'm not flirty. Let's also say that "I'm not easy to "get to"". I don't know. I'm a VERY good student....and I get good grades....but this seems like somewhat of a turn off for guys. And those guys that are nerdy (but cute) too, still don't PAY attention to me! It's like I'm invisible...It's just not fair. ;_; (link)
| |
Trust me. You'll find a guy who's worth it who likes smart girls. I know I did.
|
Ok well i'm a 14/f and i've never been asked out by a guy before...
I know that i'm only 14 and shouldn't be worrying about this but my question here is "what if A guy asks me out? How should I react?"
I'm a shy person and there was one time in 5th grade when a guy said he liked me, but he was more on the popular side... soo i kinda liked him too and said yeah, i like you too. Then he started laughing and ran towards his friends, pointing at me and saying "she fell for it!!"
to make this shorter- the next time a guy asks me out... how can I be sure its a joke, or for real?? and how should i respond to both a joke and if its real? since i'm really shy.
THANX! (link)
| |
Oh God, I used to be in the same position as you. I actually got out of it when I was 14. If the guy behaves like he likes you-really likes you, not stupid like what some immature guys are known to do. But if he seems geniunely attracted to you and he asks you out, it's probably for real.

Hey. I'm planning on getting married in September. I have yet to buy or even look at wedding dresses. I have no idea what size to get or anything. So, I need yalls help. :] There arn't any stores around here that sells dresses, so I'm pretty much confinded [sp] to online.
I'm a size 0-1 depends on the brand.
I'm a 32a cup...if that matters.
I don't want a short trane, but one without a one at all will be fine.
I love ones with lots of beading and such.
I doubt I can get one this cheap but it would be amazing to have one under $250.
Anyways, I just need some websites that sell cheap but nice gowns.
Please don't say Ebay. I've checked them.
Thanks. (link)

Jessica McClintock might actually have. Check it out. I found some gorgeous dresses for less than $300.

i hooked up with this guy on sunday like four or five times. since we didn't have school yesterday, I didn't see him until today. the horrible thing is, we didn't even talk, look at eachother, or even ackknowledge eachother! it was so awkward and I felt really really bad. maybe he just used me to hook up with him. i dont know. i really want to talk to him though. should i comfront him or wait for him to comfront me? what should i say? i have no clue since this is the first time it has happened to me. this day has been so bad because of it. (link)

Pretend it never happened. It'll be better for both of you.

I have noticed a lot of people ask questions about weight loss. Would anyone like to form a support group/challenge? I am captain of one right now and as a group we lost 103 lbs. last week. It would be strictly based on healthy diet and exercise. So let me know! (link)
| |
I would actually love to! I don't need to, but I'd be interested in losing about 15-20 pounds.
|
|
so i am getting worried about prom. its in a few months but i dont have many guy friends, and even if i do..how do i make them want to take ME out of all their girl friends to the prom??? i dont want to go w/ someone it would be awkward with, though. so how do i start this? (link)
| |
If you have a really close guy friend who's likely to stay single, ask him. Also, feel free to ask people who don't go to your school.

I just shaved down there and it was my first time shaving everything off, is it supposed to be stubbly?
And also I tried fingering myself and it was kinda a bad oder. I take a shower daily , how do i get rid of the oder or is it supposed to be like that?
Thanks (link)
| |
It's supposed to be like that. Don't worry.
|
ok, so around that time of the month, i get really REALLY moody. i feel like ripping everyone's head off, literally. to prevent that, the only way i have found is to be on midole(?) from about 3-4 days before it comes till 1-2 days after. that can't be healthy, and i have to take the maximum dosage as well. i was wondering if anyone knows any ways i could improve my mood? i seriously need help cause i almost swore at my parents today, and i have another week or so to go and i only have 2 midole left,
please help me!
p.s, i'm 15/f (link)
|
I have the same problem!
Start writing out your feelings. That usually helps me. Or sing at the top of your lungs.
And I do the same thing with Midol. It's probably fine.
|
well im 5 ft. and weigh like 123 pounds.
my major problem areas are my arms and legs.
on my legs i need help losing weight on my like inner thighs, theyre flabby and its gross. i need ways to get rid of that.
&im running everyday and doing 100 pushups&100 crunches.
would the running help?
other ideas would be nice.
thanks. :) (link)

You're not fat. That BMI's within normal range. But if you really care, any form of excercise helps. If you're really worried about your arms and legs, join a gym.

is it normal and stuff nowadays for teens to drink and do drugs...
ages starting at 13-14? (link)
| |
Unfortunately, yes.

I have a younger brother who is 13. Everytime I have food in my room such as a gift basket my friend made me with all kinds of sweets, he ends up taking a bunch of it. Sometimes it's just one or 2 pieces out of 100 so I don't say anything. Today I found a sucker wrapper and I told my mom about it because I was mad that he went into my room and took it...and it's the hundreth time. She didn't really do anything...just told him "sternly" that she didn't want him in my room. What can I do to keep him from taking my things??
I gave him a big bag of 3 musketeers for Christmas and I share with him sometimes. We have cheez its and wheat thins in the pantry so he's not starving.
my mom tries hiding food from him too and he always finds it.. and also, I want easy access to MY food and MY things.
Thanks for any help. - 16/female. (link)

Put it in a clothing drawer or in a drawer you know he doesn't go into. That should work. Or if you want to have a few pieces but not all at one time, put 5 or so down your shirt. He won't look there.
