First the crazy story in short.

I was at my Girlfriend's apartment around 4am when suddenly she jumped up, looked at me, and said that sounds like his car. Then came loud knockings at the door of her apartment, and by the knocks alone I felt threatened so I ran to grab my rifle. After I got it I ran into my girlfriend's room I placed a magazine into my gun. Right after he started slamming the other two doors into her apartment, and then came by her bedroom window yelling at my girlfriend to wake up. He start banging on the glass aswell, and after he didn't hear an answer he started to get very mad. He next started yelling things such as get out here punk. Everything he said was pretty stupid, but except for the last words which were you're dead! And then he headed back to the front door, and started kicking it at an attempt to break an entry point. After I herd a crack from part of the door's wooden frame splitting I pulled the action back on my gun, and stood ready to fire aiming at her bedroom door. Fortunately he gave up trying to break in, and then kicked in her living room window. After that he got into his car, and drove away. Her neighbors responded with a call to the police for us, and now this monday I have to appear in court for a preliminary hearing.

What will happen, and how should I be prepared to proceed in it? (link)
dress nice, do what they tell you, and answer truthfully in a clear voice. shouldn't be all that hard, so don't get worked up about it.


i'm 14 and a freshman in high school. this winter, i have been sleeping a ton like i come home from school at 2:30 and by 3 most days im sleeping most days until dinner and some days i sleep through dinner and i just eat after i wake up. last night i went to bed at about 11 and i slept till 9 this morning and now its noon and i could fall asleep right now. i dont like sleeping so much!!! im always grouchy cause when i wake up im kinda out of it and im not the nicest person (link)
same thing happened to me when i was that age. always sleepy, very pissed at everyone. most times i would come home from school and plop onto my bed with my shoes still on till dinner, then go right back to bed soon after, usually waking up late for school. cant say as how i figured it out, it went on for about a year then i was back to my chipper self. if you want to get better at staying awake i say invest in an alarm and start drinking coffee or tea.

its just those hormones dude, you'll get over it sooner or later, trust me.


okay so my parents wont let me go on the mission trip at my church to build houses for the indian people. my pastor is paying for me ($50) because i dont have the money to go right now. well when i talked to my mom about it she asked my dad who said no. but i really really really want to go because i love helping people like that. its over spring break (5 days) and my pastor and almost all the grown-ups from church are coming (which is A LOT) but she (and he) still wont let me go ! how do i convince them to let me go ?????
any help is GREATLY appreciated ! (link)
Well respectfully talk to them about how important it is for you to go, and explain exactly what you would be doing there, and how you would be helping people, to alleviate their fears about you going away for a week. Wining wont get you very far, so try and reason with them. another part of it may be that the pastor is paying for it. Ive never liked having someone else paying for something i need and i cant imagine your dad is happy with having someone else pay for the things you want, altho bringing that up to him is probably not the best idea if you want to get on his good side. just be positive and honest but remember in the end, "Honor thy father and thy mother" its their decision, and if they wont budge then you'll just have to respect that. Maybe you can find something to do for your own community while your on break.

Also Kudos to you for taking such an active part in community and world relief instead of going off to party, America needs more good kids like you.


14/f
i've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half.
weve been fighting the past three days and we usually never fight. but we came into a discussion that really bothered me.
apparently he said he could do better then me. so then i asked, how? and he said "listen i love your personality, and how you make me feel, i seriously love you, the only way i could do better then you is in looks" he kinda then saw me tearing and he told me he wasn't calling me ugly. and then i told him to just drop the conversation and we did but the rest of our day was good. i just really never thought i was ugly.. but i didn't think i was gorgeous.. just average you know? i mean other guys have asked me out in the past but yeah. so i guess im ugly.. what do i do now? :( (link)
very few girls that think their ugly actually are.

let me tell you a little something about guys. were all stupid, like short bus stupid, when it comes to girls.

ive said many things i regret seconds after saying them and it happens again and again, we never learn. so show a little forgiveness when he says something retarded, but let him know what he said was wrong or he'll never learn.

and as for him thinking he can get a better looking girl, every guy thinks that, and almost all of us are dead wrong. he thinks he's a lot more attractive then he is, and he assumes girls will flock to him if he was single. its a male flaw that has led many a man to stupidly break up with a girl only to come crawling back alone a few weeks later and finding her with a new boy already.

my suggestion is if he mentions that he could do better again, you should mention that you could do better too, which im going to bet you can. jealousy is a powerful thing to a man.


I am 14, f, and i have been sick for a month. its not actually sick, its like tired and fatigued, and i feel dizzy and my stomach hurts. I have passed out many times. I am achey all over and my shoulder has been cramping. What can i do to make it go away? My moms been freaking out and wants me to get bloodwork but i dont want to get it, i am afraid of needles...thanks in advance! (link)
well like every one else im going to tell you to go to the doctor, needles aren't as bad once its all over. lol

but also are you drinking enough water? because this sounds a bit like dehydration to me. start drinking more water and viset the doctor, its the only good advice i can give.

good luck!


Riiight. This guy.
Another one of those questions.
I have mixed feelings for him.
I think.
Well this is how we are.
I have at least one class with him a day.
I talk to him EVERY DAY
He ALWAYS makes me laugh
We are pretty close
We hug quite a lot
When we're saying bye to each other, we kiss each other on the cheek
We sometimes go on the subway together. And if we do, he usually rides to my stop with me, and then rides three stops back to his stop.
we've never had a fight
We're into the same music and so on
He comes over to me to talk to me.

But I fucking don't know if he likes me, or is just being friendly.
I think he likes someone else..but we never talk about stuff like that..

what's going on?
(link)
well from what you've said if he isn't gay then he definitely likes you. next time he tries to kiss you on the cheek just go ahead and pull him into a real kiss, im sure he'll be happy you did. and even if he isn't into it then at least you'll know then, i see no reason why it would hurt the relationship in any way.


I am in 8th grade, girl. I had a boyfriend last year, in 7th grade, but only for two months. It was my first and only boyfriend. We never hooked up. Only kissed. I want a boyfriend now, but all the guys only like experienced girls. And everyone knows i only had one bf, and they dont want me. What should i do? Any flirting tips to make someone, ANYONE, like me?

[I know i seem desperate, but i am. I know i dont need a guy, but they make me really happy, when i have a bf]

Sorry its long...Thank! (link)
the easiest way to flirt is to not actually try to flirt, just talk to a guy like you would any of your other friends, build up to flirting. just have a conversation with him about anything, listen when he talk, and try to be interesting yourself, and make sure to keep eye contact as much as possible. there's a strange thing about girls eyes that if a guy ends up looking at them long enough he will start finding you attractive even if he didn't before. i know its happened to me a few times.

another good way to get a guys attention is to get closer to him, if he's at a table don't sit at the other end or across from him, plant yourself in the seat right next to him, scoot closer even. if hes standing just stand a bit closer to him while you talk than you would normally.

its always just very simple things that will get a guy to fall for you, these basics should help.

if all else fails you could just grab him and give him a smooch, he cant not notice that. lol


my church is having a picnic soon, and i need some ideas for food, cause im in charge of getting everything together and organized. can anyone tell me some of their favorite foods? (link)
mmm picnic food. :F

fried chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad with whipped cream, jello, potato chips, corn-dogs if you can keep them hot, burgers and hot dogs and grilled prawns if you have a grill, water melon, deviled eggs, hard boiled eggs, and maybe rolls or even cinnamon buns if you want.

dont forget drinks tho too, soda is nice but lemonade, fruit punch and coffee are also really good at a picnic.

i couldn't think of any others, hope i helped some, and good luck!


im just curious buttt ;
what are your new years traditions. i know everyone does something different. i'm having a small party and i need some ideas. no drinkingg and all that cause none of my friends are into it. ideas? (link)

Ok so I know when anybody says "I have a friend who..." they mean themselves. but im really talking about someone else here

so my friend travis and i were talking about taking midterms next week, and he said he heard about people taking chap stick and running it across the little black bars to make all the answers correct. i know it sounds stupid for me to ask this, but is he right? because there IS a possibility, but if its not true i dont want him to fail his exams, because he would have just wrote down random answers and used the chap stick.
please help me out (link)
no, thats just silly. you cannot fool the scantron, it knows all, it sees all.

i will however tell you a very handy tip, if you dont know the answer on a multiple choice test, and you have absolutely no way to figure it out in your head, its not a bad idea just to pick "C".

i know it sounds stupid, but i wouldent recomend it if it hadent worked for me multiple times. i would NOT recomend useing that trick for placement tests tho. when i was entering college i didnt understand most of the math questions (never was any good with math), so i ended up puting down "C" for most of them. i ended up scoring higher than my brother who was actualy good at math and was placed in one of the more advanced classes. the teacher told me his name and that was the last word i understood in there. >.<

so yeah, that one works but the chap stick thing is bull-malarky.


what exactly is a frosting party? (link)
ok two options here, the first and most likely is its a paty to decorate and eat cupcakes, cookies or somthing like that. fun times.

the second option....well....just don't go if there aint gonna be no baked goods. >.O


I just lost my grandma and im looking for goos songs.
Sad or happy.
Just something.


thanks (link)
sorry about your grams. i know it sucks to lose someone, my aunt died just a few days ago.

most any thing on Johnny Cash's album American IV: The Man Comes Around is good for the kind of somg your looking for. its mostly songs by other artists re-recorded by Cash.

its all full of sad and happy. some times i listen to it and end up crying and smiling at the same time. :P


The bar scene is beginning to make me sick.
I really wanted to try the whole "interweb dating" thing, so I did! I met someone from MySpace and he completely hated me. You might say "Oh Erica, you're clearly exaggerating."
No. If this guy had a machete, I wouldn't have a head.
I want to date. Any advice, oh hell, just any response whatsoever, would make me happy. (link)
i like using okcupid.com but hey, thats just me...hey wait..your single you say?

how you doin? ;)


For Halloween Im gonna be a tree. its different and i was gonna wear brown shoes, pants, and long-sleeve undershirt and green t-shirt on top and spray my hair green. what are some ideas to make my costume funny and unique? (link)
HAH! thats a great idea! you might try carrying a big leafy branch around with you, and maby paint your face green. :P

I really need some extra credit for math, and one of the things that we can do to get it is find out the name of that division sign that almost looks like an equal sign with a line through it, and the name starts with a v. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you! (link)
is this the one?



its an inequation, it indicates that two values
are different.


sorry if thats not it but it was the only one i could think of.


My best friend Amanda and i want her to come over to my das's house and spend the weekend.But it seems on my mom weekends {i don't want her to come over} she is free.But on my dad's weekend there's always something. Do i stil trust her,or anything?Tell me what to do!Plez?! (link)
im asuming her parents arnt divorced and that its not a scedualing conflict due to that. it could be that her parents just arnt comfortable leting their daughter go over to your dads house. have they met him? if not than it may be just that they dont want to send her to the house of a man they dont know, even if he is your father.

the only other thing i can think of along those lines is that if they do know him, maby they just dont like him.


realy you didnt give me much to go on, so it may be best if you just ask your friend whats going on. if i knew more about the situation i may have been able to help more, but i hope i helped at least a little bit. good luck. ^_^

What are some foods that I can eat to help me keep my carbs up? I want to be fit and I know that nutrition is a big part in that. Please help THanks (link)
you'll want to stick to complex carbs (simple carbs are mosly sugar ).

complex carbs are catagorised as either starches or indigestible dietary fiber.

bread, pasta, rice, beans, and potatos are good sources of starches, and fruits, vegetables, wheat bran and oatbran are exelent sources of dietary fiber.

carbs are a great source of energy, but you need to remember not to neglect fats or protein. both fat and protein are absolutely vital for good health, and without a balanced diet of carbs, fat and protein, the human body quickly becomes malnourished.
