Being a teenager is the toughest thing any of you will go through..well except for a divorce or death of a loved one.
Adults just do not remember how hard this time of life is for you.
They forget how important all of these things that you ask questions about are.
Parent do not have all the answers either..they just muddle through life..just like you.
I am as old as dirt..and still have some of the things that happen to you..happen to me.

I'm not sure what to give my 1 year old child for breakfast. He is allergic to eggs and I don't think those baby jar foods of mixed cereal and oatmeal fill him up that much. Anyone have any ideas?? (link)
| |
I gave my kids not traditonal food. Sometimes things like grilled cheese or pop tarts....or even the babys food in jars that were meat. Mine were really picky so anything that they would eat I would try. Have you given him waffle sticks?That they can kinda gum a bit? Or mini panackes?(but chekc the ingrediants..ok..for the eggs.)

how can i stop excess sweating under my arms? Everyday when i go to school, i always have huge wet circles under my arms by first period. I usually have to wear sweatshirts or something thicker than a regular t;shirt or long sleeve shirt.Every deodorant or anti-perspirant I use it doesn't work at all!!! Please help me!?
(link)
| |
Hae you tried ban roll..(the wet kind?) Put it on at night then again in the morning...there are shots (from the makers of botox) that deaden your glands there so it does not sweat..so if it is so critical..ask your doctor about that..i too sweat a lot...
|
|
okay.. my b/f gave me a condom just in case we went a little too far one time.. and i kept it in a little compartment of my purse that no one really notices.. well when my b/f was over today.. my mom washed that purse! and i walked in the room.. and the zipper for the area was unzipped.. but the condom was still there!! ahh omg! what could i say to make my parents think i'm not having sex?! please answer this! i'll rate 5's to anyone that answers! (link)
|
well..technically...you were going too...
Sigh...tell your mom it was a just in case..that you HAVE not done anything..but you wanted to be safe not sorry....
No way to backtrack on this...hmmm...lay low for awhile..ok..
But they have to realize that yes one day you will have sex..it just not cool to advertise wiht wiht the condom in the wash..ah...man..i feel for you...so
No I am not having sex..but in case i do..i need to ..and USE this..PROTECT MY FUTURE..that is a good one..ok protect your future...
Ps keep your BC locked up from now on(but not in the car..it will melt!)

I've recently paid the funeral expenses for my father's funeral out of the estate account. ($10,000)....should any travel expenses be paid to family members ( out of state)....???
Is there a travel allowance ?? (link)
|
ok..so are you saying..you are trying to expense out..a funeral trip???Like you pay the family member to come?? or reimbursed??
I do not think there is a section for this..but I would go on the IRS website and ask them. Or your aacountant...but i am going to say no...unless it is a voluntary thing YOU want to do out of your poecket.
|
with an average income, how much would you spend on your 15 year old child?
thanks (link)
|
depends on what she/he wants...is she/he a quality or a quantiyt kind of child?
I think 150-200 is ok on a medium income...but again..she is her thing she really wants. If it is clothes and she is a name brand..that will not go far. if she lots lots of little stuff then ok...that might be high or low depending on your monthly bills.
PS have you been to TJ MAXX lately..wow...can GET everyone somethng there for a LOT less!!!

this kid (corey) likes me ALOT. i only like him as a bestfriend, but i love him to death. he asked me to formal. at the same time, this other kid who I like is supposed to ask me. well when Corey asked me online to the formal, i said without thinking "well no because im waiting for someone else to ask me, but if he doesnt i'll go with you" and then i realized thats the WORST thing anyone could possibly say. and hes CRUSHED! i freaked out and apologized. he replied "its okay, i should have known not to ask you, you wouldnt go with me anyway" and now i feel like SHIT! i told my parents and they said im an asshole for saying that. they said if i end up not getting a date, that i SHOULDNT go with him because thats insulting and he deserves better. i feel SO BAD. what can i do/say to make it up to him? (link)
|
would that we all did NOT say incedible stupid things....so..well now you id.
Get him a card..send him something to let him know how much you treasure..him as a person..and that evwen though he is not boyfriend material ..he is still number in your life...poor thing.
I feel for you...try..and keep trying to tell him how STUPID you were..ok...he will forgive you.

ok i have been going out with a girl for quite a while now. we love each other both very much and we know what "love" is...but we have been thinking...about sex. we have already did a couple of things with each other already but other than that we are both still virgins but we are thinking about sex and we are going to go ahead and try it soon possibly even tomorrow or within this week...is this moving too fast...since we know each other and talked it through? and what should i do about this since its our both first time having sex? (we are using protection by the way) thanks for listening (link)
|

you both will remeber this day for teh rest of your lives. Make it special..amke it worth while..if there is any dobut..wait..for in the end..you only get..one first time..

I need some help on this one...
My dad has been really depressed lately and i dont know what to do about it. He keeps on tlaking about how he is going to kill himself and everything and how there is no God and God just wants to be left alone. He also gets mad at stupid things and jsut tells me that i am worthless and that i will turn out to be just a worthless as he is no matter how hard i try. I try and put it aside and remember that it isnt my problem or just try to walk away or ask him to stop talking like that, but he doesnt listen, or he just comes back at me 10 times worse! I would file something on him or try to get him help, but he is my only parent/ family left thats in this country that i know...what do i do?

I want you to print this and show your dad.
you are a parent..to a child..Their life is tough enough without adding YOUR misery to it.
How dare you discuss KILLING yourself..what WOULD happen to YOUR child...a foster home(abuse, neglect and NO love happnes there)..what..that IS what YOU want for your kid?
A child is a GIFT from God..and whether you believe in HIM or not..you will NOT ever abuse this precious being.
you are depressed..go see a doctor and get on some medication. my WHOLE family has been through this and I am an expert on this.
Once you start prozac or paxil or wellbutrin..your life will change.
You will no longer feel anger or feelings of helplessness.
But YOU are NOT to ever say that You are going to kill yourself to your child.
That childs' life will become HELL if you do that for they will always think that YOU did not love them ENOUGH to live.
So get some hlep..be a MAN and live for YOUR child..if no one else.
Lost I am sorry you are going through this..your dad needs some help..hang in there..ok...am thinking and praying for you and him....Please write me if you need someone to talk too..i am here for you..been through this..my sister tried several times to kill herself..finally she got on teh right meds..and her life changed totally...

I have an older sister who's absolutely gorgeous . and even though she's quite horrible to me , she always acts nice in front of everyone else . especially guys . recently , i realised that i liked this guy friend of mine , A LOT . more than friends . even though i'm quite cute and stuff , my sister always gets WAY more attention than me . especially with this guy . it hurts me when i see them sitting together , talking , my sister in her seductive voice , and him smiling .it hurts a LOT . WHAT SHOULD I DO ? (link)
|
Your sister might be hot but she is WAY jealous of you..jeez..how crappy is that to come on to your sister bf?? See she is really insecure..
So if this guy really digs you...then NOTHING is going to get in his way..but if he does go after your sister..well she and your guys are bad news.
i ouwld be so casual about everything..see she wants you to get upset..if you do not..maybe she will go away.
Ps she needs some therapy..scamming on yor sis guys is way BAD!!

Please help.
My husband is in the Military overseas in Iraq. He has been gone since Feb 2004, he was still my boyfriend then. In May, he called me to tell me that they were granting him leave in July and wasked me to marry him, much to the dismay of his family. Before the wedding, I had never met any of his family. Now, he is still gone and I am having trouble writing my new family Christmas cards. My sister in-law sent me a list of who I should send cards to, but I just don't know what to say. Should I come up with a few "generic" lines or should I try to make it all little more personal. Should I sign his name? I've never met or even spoken with 99% of his family. On top of it all, while he was home, I got pregnant. I know they are not happy about that. My friend said I should send out a Christmas card with the ultrasound. That doesn't seem appropriate, but I just don't know the etiquette on this type of unusual situation. I know I am under the microscope right now, and I want to do the right thing. Any advice would be appreciated. (link)
|
Jeez no offesense but the sister in law telling you who to write..hello....
Ok..yeah..just drop a note saying that you gus were married on so and so and are expectning a child in.. your husband is in Iraq and that both of you wish that family a peaceful Christmas.
Ps my hubby never met my family eihter till I got married..did NOT want to scare him away..lol
No..no card with the ultrasound..nope..that is not cool..you know his family will get used to the idea(give them time)..ok...besides..lots of soldiers get married and have kids during times of crisis..see it is a way to AFFIRM what a wonderful life they have..and give them something to come back too.
Congratulations!!!
Ps you are a soon to be mom now..who cares what his family thinks..you do what YOU think..he would want YOU to do.
I hope you are taking care of yourself...this is a joyous time!!

I just found out that my dad has lung cancer and things are not looking good. he lives 2 hours away and I am 24 with a family of my own but I was just wondering: What are some positive, inspirational, and supportive things I can say to get him through this time no matter what the outcome...how can I help him through this? I have so much passion and emotion inside and I know what to say in my head, but I am so bad at expressing how I feel in the moment. This is the one time in my life where it's extremely important to say and do things right, but I still seem to only cry when I'm alone or think of good things to say only AFTER a situation. I feel I'm not being what I want to be for him to my full potential. Thank you to anyone who can help!! (link)
|
This is tough..I just found out my father has cner too..and we were not even speaking.
So i wrote him a note and e-mail him.
As you are closer..call him..call him every so often(once to twice a week) Send him pictures..or even a book that he might like or music.
Just be avaialbe to him emotionally.
You cannot cure him..but you can just BE with him...
Phone calls and e-mail are something that can be done and brigthen anyone's day. If you have kids..sent him the pcitures...make hin know that HE is a PART of your life.
Am thinking of you.

ok i know this is stupid.But i have a boyfriend and im scared to tell my parents. They wont get mad at me or anything for having a boyfriend the thing is i just dont know how to tell them. How should i tell them?? (link)
|

Mom, dad, I have met someone who is really special. We been dating and I want him to meet you.
Now..you need to take him to meet them..for until they do..beleive me they will be thinking things..that are not true.
So..why have you not told them??

(link)

Just when I finally get over my ex boyfriend he comes back into my life. He calls me out of nowhere saying that he wants to be a one woman man. I can not describe how I feel about him and I don't know why I have these feelings the way that I do. We broke up about three years ago for something that I did. We did attempt to try again several times but it was never the same because he's the type that has a problem about trusting females. I know that I really do want us to try again even though I know that he has so much drama with him. Last year I told him how I felt, but I honestly think that he didn't want to hear it at that time. He keeps giving me all these mixed signals and I am tired of it. He didn't call me and a week and who knows when the next time I'll hear from him. I just want to know what I should do about this situation because it seems as if fate keep bringing us together and he always looks at me as if he want to say something but he don't. It's alot more to the story but that's the main facts. (link)

Honey..they ALL come bakc one time or another. I have yet to date..well I am married now..but when I was not..they ALL came bakc. Usually when I was dating someone else. See they get out in the REAL world..date tohers..then realize..huh she was a GOOd deal.
To me..you have your answer..any guy that you have to wait at least a week to hear from you..is just not that inot you..which by the way is a great book...wish I had had it when I was still dating..
You do NOT need any more dramam..this guy is bad news..so if he calls just cut him off quick..and move on...He is totally past history!
i know this is hard..i went back with one of my past historys..boy did i regret the time I spent on him..and he was one of those who never called(see while he was not calling me..he was seeing someone else!!)
|
|
I met this guy about a few months ago that lives around my way. We started dating about three weeks after I met him. I thought he was someone that could just be someone to chill with time to time. Well all of a sudden he acts as if he's all into me. He have been telling me that he loves me and that he wants me to be his wife and that he don't want to ever let me go. I think he's a cool person to chill with, but I do not feel the same way that he do about me. The bad part is, is that I don't know how to tell him because I do not like to break people's hearts but I don't like to pretend either. I know that I have to tell him soon because Christmas is around the corner and I don't want him to get me nothing crazy. I just don't know how to tell him. (link)
|
Woah anytime anyone gets that hot heavy all at once...i run..ok..see that is just plain crzy talk..
you have to tell him..for if you do not he could totally stalk you..ok..so say the words that YOU want to hear..if the roles were turned around..be nice..nbe kind..but do it soon!!!

You know what..how would YOUR parents like..if your sisters went INTO their room and snooped around..not very good I suspect...so family meeting time.
Your ssiter need to respect your stuff..the FACT that THEY picked your lock..show to me..that DOWn the line your dad and stepmom are GOING to have a pack of trouble on their hands
Print this..show mom and step.
Hey...anyone who goes into a room without permission and picks the LOCK to do it..is tresspassing..so unless you take YOUR daughters IN hadn..trust me..YOUR room and stuff will be next..if not already..so give them a HUGE punishment..and TAKE back your household.
Ad for your stepmom..you two ahve tog et along..see I agree wiht Dr. Laura about blending new families..i think unitl children are out of the house..adults should put THEIR needs last..but hey...what do I know..
She is your stepmom..you need to respect her..and she needs to respect you....and YOUR Dad..needs to get off his duff and start refering this mess hHE created...
I am sorry..this SHOULD not be happening to you..
Ps when you print this and show your parents tell them I am a mother of two and shame on the for letting your sisters become holligans!!!!.

For some reason this is long, I don't know why, but it's longer than it needs to be. I know this isn't totally asking for advice, but I'm 14/f/nc, and this year our cul-de-sac's Christmas party is going to include of a secret santa. My neighbors dad is playing santa, and each one of the children (everyone under 18) had to draw names out of a hat to choose who they'll be buying their gifts for. Well, I got my little neighbor, she's 4, and I was wondering, what types of things would a 4 year old want. I am babysitting for her on the 4th and 5th, so I'll probably ask her, but I'm grounded this weekend for cutting class, and me and some friends are going to the mall on Friday(tomorrow, I only get grounded on weekends, not on weekdays) So that's the only time I'll have to go, otherwise I'll have to wait until we go grocery shopping, because I'm grounded for the next two weekends for cutting class (not going to my 4th period, I got caught the last 5 minutes of school... so close yet so far away...) Any suggestions will be appreciated... and if you want to leave rude advice, make it funny! (link)

is she a girly girl to a tom boy?? Try going on Amazon for toyrus.comfor age related gifts and prices! My girl who is a girly girls loves baby dolls and barbies..plus little kits with makeup or hair stuff..if she is a tom boy that is harder...
|

Okay, about two weeks ago, I told one of my really close guy friends that I liked him. I thought I did because I knew he liked me ALOT too.. He would do anything for me, etc, so I thought that I liked him too. So I told him. But now Im seeing that I really dont have those kind of feelings for him at all. I feel horrible because he seems so happy now because he thinks I like him back... I dont know what to do :-/ I really dont want to talk to him about it because its really messed up.. any advice on how to handle it without talking to him? Thanks in advice. (link)
|
oh man..it is so eary to do what you did..somone likes you..it feels good..boom..then you get to really know them..and nada there.
You ahve to talk to himm..how are you going to break up...just blow him off..he will be more hurt by that..just say that you just do not like him the same way..yeah he will be hurt and mad...but in the end..he will remember that you were honest wiht him.
Please you HAVe to have a talk wiht him..the other options are..what keep dating him..make him hate you?/never return his calls...
Seems to me..a heart to heart talk ..is easier..
Good luck..will be thinking of you.

Okay I am crying as I write this but I am a Advicenator and I need advice...
My Ex Boyfriend Sam and I went out for 9 months and the relationship went fine and the break up was mutual but lately all we seem to do is fight and the fights are usuaally his doing...weather he talks about his new intrest (I know she is not his girlfriend because I have friends that know more than Sam does) or talk about things that he KNOWS that will upset me and provoke me to hang up on him or cry. Please help me to get to have a better friendship with him and I still like him like I did when we went out.
Age: 21
Gender: Female (link)

you broke..up..it was mutual..why do you still fight...
you only fight with people you care about..so what is the real issue..He wants to hurt you and make you upset..if you are all WIGGEd out..then he can feel good.
I would totally limit my seeing him at all.
if this hurts..makes you mad..and upset you..why are you seeing him??
You may not be able to be friends...seesm to me he has issue HE needs to work out...
so is he WORTH the hurt?
