Ok, so, i gave my mom the description of a certain way i wanted my hair to look, and she didnt care for the idea?

here is the discription i found: "EMO hair for boys: Hair - Rarely washed, if ever. Dyed black if not black naturally. Is normally cut very short with bangs cut straight across the front. If you prefer longer hair grow it to the length of about your eyes and never comb it."

How can I get my mom to allow me to style it that way?
Also, any crud I get about the hairstyle i want will get 1's

If it's what you really want she should let you get it done that way. Hope I helped.

i dont know what to say to my mother when she calls me a stupid lesbian, a worthless faggot, and other demeaning things. it doesnt hurt me like it used to (everyone knows my mom's a bitch, and that she's the epitome of insanity) but it makes me pretty mad. i really dont know what a can say back to her to get her to shut up and back off. bitch doesnt phaze her b/c people call her that everyday. i know i sound like i'm putting her down, but that's what she's always done to me since i was about 5 (i'm 16 now). anyway, i'd appreciate some suggestions on what i could do or say to make the situation better. i really cant take it anymore.

and please dont leave me an immature comment saying 'oh well why don't you just quit being bi' or somthing like that. it's just not that simple.

You need to tell your mother to quit worrying about your life and start worrying about hers. Because you can make your own descisions being bisexual isn't really a good descision, but it's your life, and that's the way you want to live it so she really needs to back off. You can talk to a guidance councelor, or get family counseling.

Sixteen years old and male. I'm not sure why, but I don't talk to my father. I don't hate him or dislike him. My uncle noticed that when he stayed to visit and told me that I need to go up and talk to him more often. I tried to, but I guess after awhile I stopped. What really got to me was that my sister said that to me too, and she's younger than me. I guess it's that noticable. But I want to know what I could do to start conversations and talk. The only time he goes out of his way to talk to me is when he needs me to fix the computer or get him something (and I'm not exagerating). He gets home late and is always busy when he's home.

Should I write him e-mails? He is constantly checking his e-mail. I do feel somewhat uncomfortable talking to him about anything more than the Yankees game. Generally I'm not too open, it's not easy for me - but it's really bothering me now because I want to create an open line of communication, but I don't know how to start or what to do to make sure that once I start it doesn't fall apart. Any advice? Thanks.

Just get more serious with him and do father son stuff. Hope I helped. ~j ernst

My husband migrated to Toronto Canada 6 years ago. He abandoned me and found a new love. I found out that he already has a daughter with the girl who is living in Manila Philippines, where I am. He cancelled my immigrant sponsorship 2 years ago, took my money, and sponsored the girl as a common law wife to migrate to Canada to stay with him. How can I ask him to divorce/annul our marriage if he is avoiding me?

Call him up/write a letter/send an e-mail and say,"You need to choose one love(er) if your going to be with me then you need to come home now, and if your going to be with her then you should divorce me." Hope I helped.

ok.. my i live with my grandma and she keeps calling me fat and stuff. and i already have a lowe self esteem .. and i ask her not to say anything but she still does.. and she knows that it bothers me.. and i've got to wear i dont' wonna eat.. and don't want anything to do with anybody except my best friend.. when it comes to just being with ppl for long periods of time. and she has really put me into a depression mode.. what do i do?

Okay, your grandma is retarded and probably going to die in like 2 years. So tell her to shut up. Because you are cool. And she isn't. Besides she has wrinkles, and crap like that. Tell your grandma that you don't give a crap what she thinks, and if she says one more thing you are going to shoot yourself in the head because you are tired of her BS. Hope I helped.

14/f

Ok, before I give you the actual question, I'm going ot give you the background.

Here it goes,
It started yesterday, it was my dad and I, watching Jeapordy, and he was making fun of all the contestants, so I hit him in the arm, but then he hit me back, I don't think he realized how hard he hits, but it's very hard. So I hit him back again, and so on, and so on. But at one point he slapped/hit my leg so hard that it left a huge hand print, and I got so mad. My mom wasn't home at the time, I tried contacting her, but she didn't answer. So I took a picture of the mark. It was ok, after that, seeing how I got out of the house for a couple of hours with my friends.Then he and my brother, came to pick me up, we decided to go rent a movie. After that was over, this is going to sound childish, but we were arguing over who got the front seat. And my dad always takes his side, so I was frustrated, so frustrated, that when I got in the back, I said "I hate you both". My dad went "Hate is an awfuly strong word." Then I went "Fine I loathe you, I despise both of you." And it was a quiet car ride after that. When we got home, I had a serious attitude, and my mom wanted to know why. That's when I showed her the picture of my leg[from earlier]. She got really mad, and started hitting my dad. Since I was just as mad, I went upstairs to cool off, and watch the movie I had chosen. When it was over, I wasn't quite as mad, and we[my brother, dad and I] watched the other movie. That was fine.


But, when I woke up this morning, I woke up an hour late, so I jumped in the shower, and while I was in there, my dad comes in and goes "Your too late, Your too late." I have no idea why, but it irritated me. So I snapped back at him; "I can still take a shower!". After I got out, my mom came in and started telling me, that she was going to leave my dad, that we don't get along, and she's leaving us both behind. She asked if I deserved the hit on the leg. Then she goes that stunt you pulled, really screwwed things up.[Refering to showing her the picture, to get my dad in trouble.] And I wasn't allowed to go, where I had planned on going. So I slept. When I woke up, my dad was leaving for work, and he said "Bye." I said "Bye." And he goes, "I hope your happy." And as I sit here now, I can't help, but believe that I was responsible for my family falling apart. My parents have been otgether since they were 14, and I feel as though I ruined it all. That I was some sort of mistake. And I don't know what to do. Does anyone know how I can fix things? I'm feeling very depressed right now,and I have no idea what I'm going to do.

Thanks for anyone who tries.

It's not your fault. Tell your mother that you, and your dad were just goofing around, and that you would fall apart if anything happened between your mother and your father. Let her know how much it means to you to that your family doesn't get split up. Taake the time to let her know how you feel. Hope I helped.

ok, well a couples weeks ago i had bad backaches, and i was discharging alot. Im turning 14 soon and ive never go my period, but the one day i was fine and then i had a bad stomache and all i wanted to do was curl up in a ball, and i went to the bathroom and there was a little dot of blood like and inch big, and that its, i didnt tell my mom because idk if it was my period, and the stomache i could feel it on my right side like something idk it was just werid .. and i put a pad on but i only bled about another inch for that day and that was it .. the next day i was fine - so did i have my period?

You might have had it. Or it could just be telling you that you're going to get it very soon. You need to tell your mom because it will make everything better for you. Don't keep secrects from your parents. I told my mom, and dad. Hope I helped.

I'm looking for something to whiten my teeth that actually works. I was gonna try the Crest Whitening Strips but I've been getting mixed answers from people, saying they don't work/waste of money, etc. Does anyone know of something like that that actually works and makes your teeth whiter? Thanks!

Yes, Peroxide. Don't swallow it. But I've tried it and it works better, and faster than whittening strips. It's only like $1.79. Hope I helped.

I'm a competative volleyball player; in the off season I gain weight and its difficult for me to train once season starts again. How do I keep my body in top shape with out having practice everyday.

My parents won't get us a membership to a gym. I'm not allowed to go running around my neighborhood because three girls in here have been kidnapped, our treadmill broke, and I don't have any exercise videos and my parents don't want me to buy any, because they're afraid I think I'm fat and I'll go anorexic. HELP!

Don't worry I'm a very competitave volleyball player also. I'm not skinny as a stick, but I'm onw of the best players. You don't have to be thin to play sports. Because if you did then I couldn't. lol. Hope I helped.

ok...this is stupid but i'm becoming anorexic. i know it too and i don't seem to care i think it's because i've gained a few pounds i used to feel sooo comfortable like in clothes now i just want to wear baggy clothes because i think i look fat. Last night my mom said she's gonna bring me to and Eating Disorder place if i don't stop worrying about my weight all the time. I don't know what to do, because it's working i'm 5'8 and down to 125 i was 128 but i just wish i could stop worrying about my weight all the time and just have fun you know.

Well, I weigh about 140-145 and I'm 5'5. I almost never worry about my weight. Everyone tells me they think I'm beautiful. So chin up girl, and don't worry so much because you are beautiful in every way. Hope I helped.

If you don't eat anything (except maybe a few grapes or something) but only drink like, sodas, would you gain weight or lose weight?
I've always wondered this, and I asked my health teacher, and he didn't know. I know its not health, lol, I'm not planning no doing it, I've just always been curious.

Well, It really depends on how many sodas you drink, or if you would exersize. But If you drank 10-30 sodas you would gain weight, if they weren't diet sodas. Hope I helped.

I'm on Birth Control. This pill can cause some weight gain, and on me it's added about 7 pounds. This isn't good for me, because I am already overweight. I'm 5'1, so even 1 pound shows on my body. It absolutely sucks. I start school early August, so I need help losing at least 10-15 pounds. Now, you can tell me to run, work out, etc, but I probably won't. I would prefer you give me a diet of 1,200 calories or less. Or even just things to eat, a list, idc. Any help will do, just don't tell me workout, because I won't, I'm lazy.

Eat apples, drink water no pop. Eat salads. Always eat breakfast. Walk up, and down your stairs a few times. Or do crunches. Hope I helped.

i need advice! my freind is really skinny and she thinks shes fat. everyone tells her shes skinny, but she just seriously thinks shes fat and needs to loose weight. i dont think she is anorexic because ive seen her eat, but not that much. i think she goes to the bathroom after lunch, but thats normal, and i havent really paid attention to that every day. could she be anorexic or belemic? and if so, how do i talk to her about it?

help would be appreciated, thanx =]

My guidance coucelor thought I was belemic because I went to the bathroom everyday after lunch, but so do all my friends. I'm not belemic. But your friend might be. Keep a good eye on her. Don't talk to her about it, but if the topic of weight comes up say,"I don't really like talking about weight."

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to diet, and I know water is key. I can usually only drink 2 bottles a day, and I really have to force myself to get it down. (I hate the taste of water..none) Haha, so I was wondering, are there any other drinks I could have that maybe include lots of water but have some taste to them? I've heard unsweeted Iced Tea & Lemonade, Gatorade. I also have these little Koolaid packets I pour into water bottles, and that makes me drink them so fast, & they are only 30 cals! Any other suggestions?

Gatorade is horrible for your teeth. I like Aquafina Flavor Splash. It's really good. I usually drink about 3-8 glasses of water a day. heehee. Hope I helped

I am def. not fat...but i have fat sitting on my stomach that i have tried everything to get rid of. I have friends that have done cardio and have been successful but i have not. I do cardio. The thing i have the most trouble with is eating healthy. I always give in to fattening foods!!! Also, i dont find anything that is healthy to taste good. I was wondering if anyone else has the same problems and has advice about it?? I do really try to eat healthy and i will make it through a day...then give in. I hate looking in the mirror at my belly!!! Any tips wil be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. Do you have any tips for when you are bored? because that is when i eat the most junk.

Well, don't eat while your watching television because that is when you eat the most. It's called midless eating. I would have fruit and yogurt is really good also. You can also get light yogurt. Hope I Helped again!
