About mylinhthan



[x][edit] - Since being on Advicenators there have been a lot of repetitive questions and innane ones at that. Because of this, I will not be answering as many questions as I had before. To put it simply, some people need to think for themselves. To learn things in life we have to fall down from our hardships, learn from them, and get to our feet again. People aren't just going to spoonfeed you on how to live your life.

To conclude, I'm a level-minded columnist who's not likely to judge. Although I may not understand some situations due to lack of experience, I am an understanding person and will do all I can to help. To people who are "not the brightest crayon in the box", I may appear blunt and brutally honest. Stupid questions deserve stupid answers.

And yes, stupid questions DO exist.

Ok so my parents left town for the weekend and im here with my college cousin. My mom told me not to go to this one guys house but hes having a huge party this weekend. I really want to go but ims cared to death that my mom will find out or something bad will happen and then im screwed for the rest of highschool. should i go or not go?

anonymous -

Don't go. Is this one party so important to risk going to any parties in the future? Why risk it?

There will be plenty of parties in the future that could be better than that one. Have your parents trust you, otherwise for this one party, you may be grounded for life.

ok u kno how u put lemon juice in your hair during the summer? well wut r the steps? HURRY!!! ITS LIKE REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET THIS ANSWER FAST!

anonymous -

[edit2] - You give me a 4 cuz YOU did it wrong? That's just not right. It still may turn up alright though, if not, redo it.

[edit] - I'd try it on dry or 75% dry hair, if you put it on wet hair, it will only dilute the lemon and won't work as effectively.

I've never done it before, but I hope this will help.

Squeeze a bunch of lemons to get the juice in a bowl. Put on some rubber gloves, and separate the layers of your hair using a hairclip. Take a brush (a basting brush or any art brush will do) dip and soak in lemon juice, and take desired strands of hair to highlight. After done with that layer of hair, repeat with other layers and sit out in the sun.

Hope this helps.

what road shoudl you take in junior high parents are always saying this is theyear you pick the way you go i wanna know what that means????

anonymous -

Junior High as in middle school? Or junior year of high school?

Either way, take the mandatory core classes first to get them out of the way. Then find something your interested in and take a few extra classes in that area. I don't think it really matters because I took a variety of classes all throughout high school, and right now I'm pursuing Pharmacy.

What colleges really look at (depending on how selective), are your ACT/SAT scores, your cumulative GPA, your extracurricular activities, amount of community service, and for some, it's required you take 2+ years of spanish in order to enroll.

Hope this helps.

There this guy that I like and he likes me too ( we might be going out soon.. he told me he wanted to ask me an important question after I came back from vacation ) and it's just kinda been bothering me in my mind like ( cause I'm kinda preppy/girly )," What are we gonna do whenever we hang out together out in like public like the mall? He'll want to go into Hot Topic and stuff and I'll want to go into Hollister and Abercrombie..." and I feel very outta place around his friends and stuff cause they're all in black and skater clothes and I'm sitting there all in like Hollister shirts and stuff. I really want to go out with him, that's just been nagging in the back of my head for awhile now. And it's just whenever I hang out with him I have SO much fun and if we do have some stuff in common like I do like alotta punk bands and stuff and etc., I just hate how everyone out there will freak out basically ( at least at my school ) if punks are dating punks/goths or preps aren't dating jocks and preps and stuff, I mean why can't people just let people date people? =/ Please help!!





Love,
Labeled Love =/

Labeled Love -

If you like the guy, what's holding you back? Don't let anything (I mean ANYTHING) get in the way of your happiness. If people talk, who cares? You'll be happy with the guy you like and that's all that matters.

I'm not preppy or follow any label, but like you, I don't dress in the punk style. However, if you go into Hot Topic, they have some really cool stuff! I bought one of those arm sleeves the other day to add a little flair to my style. Don't be afraid, explore the possibilities!

Why not use your fingers?

I heard an electric toothbrush works, or even vegetables like cucumbers. Clean it off first though, please.

im fat and its hard to lose wieght and i want to be poul,ar how can i be?

anonymous -

It wouldn't be so hard to lose weight if you didn't waste your time on the computer, like typing this question.

If you want an effective plan to lose weight, why not seek a professional? A dietitian, a nutritionist, anybody with a valid license to guide you.

Although I am neither, I can offer a bit of assistance.

First off, eat right. By simply cutting 500 calories from your diet everyday, you can lose 2 pounds in a week. How that is, a pound of fat contains 3500 calories. Do the math.

Second, exercise at least 3 days out of the week for at least 30 minutes each session. For better and quicker results, combine cardio and toning exercises.

Third, drink a lot of water to supress your appetite. It's also good for your skin, hair, nails, etc.

If you have any questions, ask me.

One more thing, don't get skinny to just get popular. It's not worth it.

Hey guys.. My little cousin is turning 16 in January and we really want to help her throw a party, or throw one for her. For my 16th birthday my twin & i just had like a big cookout in out backyard because its in June and its nice. But for January we dont know what to do. Ideas or birthday party stories would be great.

Thanks everyone,
LoveMonkey728

LoveMonkey728 -

I'm guessing where you live you get snow in January?

Maybe you all can rent a hotel or stay at a ski lodge that day. Ski, snowboard, or go sledding during the day, and when it hits nighttime, go back to the lodge and have an indoor party. You can order in, or cook up a feast, whichever you prefer. Bring a karaoke machine, rent a bunch of movies, be creative :)

So I'm heading out on a family vacation in a little while. There's someone where we're going who, well, my g/f a few years back cheated on me with this guy across the hall from where I was sleeping (and the week afterwards) at a mini HS reunion with a bunch of friends. In other words, he stabbed me in the back to get laid.

Now, I'm not exactly afraid of seeing him... though I'm not sure how it would turn out if we did come into contact. Anyway, he's the kind of person who (at least 3 years ago) would have the attitude that he did nothing wrong and it's my fault. I haven't exactly talked to him since then, but I just wanna hear some people's thoughts on how you would react to different situations (my co-workers tell me to go sleep with his gf if he has one, but I'm just not interested in something like that). Part of me want to utterly destroy him, part of me wants him to apologize so this isn't between us anymore.

The other thing is, even though it's been over 3 years, part of me misses her, even to the point where I tried contacting her (didn't work). It's not like I want to get back with her, I just want to, I dunno, try to be friends or something. Any thoughts on that?

(Note: rude responses accepted - they're funny. Lame "I don't know but I hope it goes well good luck" responses are a waste of time and bandwidth.)

anonymous -

The way I like to see it is that although there has been some hostility between you two in the past, I wouldn't let it get to the point where it influences your behavior or present life in the least bit.

What he did was unacceptable and unforgiveable, and if I were you, I'd leave it at that. I mean, he betrayed your trust, what are the odds of him being a good guy the next time around?

What I'd suggest is that if you ever did come into contact with him, don't speak to him unless he speaks to you. And if he speaks to you, don't shit talk to him or beat him up, etc. Leave what happened in the past in the past. Although he may be an enemy now, it is no reason to treat him any less of a person. See it this way, be grateful that he betrayed you. You learned that he was a jackass in the end, and it only made you grow stronger.

As for the ex-girlfriend, I know you miss her, but if you do see her again, most likely those ol' feelings will bubble up again, which can lead to you getting hurt again. Just ask yourself, is it worth it?

Good luck dude :)

I'm 14 and I'm one of 3 people in my grade that doesn't have a cell phone. I'm constantly out with my friends and they don't like me to call home on their phones cus it uses there minutes. *They didn't mind at first but when I have to constantly call home they got frusterated* My parents want me to call all the time when I'm out. I've tried explaining to them all the reasons why I need one, Like how they want me to call home and all that but they still say you dont get one till your 16 like your brothers. Well, im not my brothers, im more responsible, but i tried to tell my parents that and they wont believe me!
What should I do?

anonymous -

If you have money, get your own cell phone. For someone your age, the pay-as-you-go method is best so you can keep track of how many minutes you use.

If you don't have money, convince your parents to give you allowance.

Now if that's not possible, bring loose change with you all the time when you go out so you can use the pay phone.

I'm trying to lose some weight, and I haven't noticed any results. I havent been eating much and I've been exercising everyday for a while now. Is there any way to increase my metabolism? Good diets? Exercises? Anything helpful! Thanks~~~ :D

anonymous -

Well, first off, define your way of eating healthy and exercising. In order to really burn that fat, you have to include cardio exercises into your routine which are exercises that get your heart rate up (running, jogging, jumping jacks, aerobics, tai bo, etc.). If you already include this in your routine, combine it with a variety of toning exercises as well. You should be exercising at least three times a week, with sessions that last up to AT LEAST a half an hour. If you want more results, exercise longer. Also, give yourself rest time in between workouts for better effect. Because if you workout everyday and don't give a chance for your body to rest, the workouts won't be as effective.

Now, for your eating habits, I'm trusting your word on this. If you want a boost, drink herbal green tea. If you don't like the taste, add Splenda for a no calorie sweetener. Green tea helps boost your metabolism.

Hope this helps.

k so i have this friend who is really annoying and a lot of our friends know it. we used to have group get to gethers with everyone. shes never invited anymore but she always calls me and stuff for sleepovers and i just cant say no or tell her how shes annoying.dont say that whole sit down with her shit im not interested in that kind of advice..:D thanks

anonymous -

Unless you blantantly tell her how annoying she is, you got any better ideas smart one???

If you're too afraid of confrontation, try it by phone, email, or vice versa. Tell her why she's annoying, and maybe ways to improve upon it if you still want a friendship with her.

Ok... a few questions about pregnancy



When you are pregnant you don't get your period... i knwo that.

Is it true that after giving birth you have your period for a month?

After giving birth how do you track your period? Will your cycle fall on the same days it ususally does or do you start a whole new pattern? Is there anyway to predict this new pattern?

anonymous -

From what I heard, is that if you contiuously breastfeed, you usually don't have your period for like six months or weeks, I don't remember.

But it is on the Planned Parenthood website. I suggest you check it out or speak to your doctor.

Okay, so a year and half ago or so, my stupid friend and I prank called this guy. And I know him for teasing people about things that happened loooong amounts of time ago. I don't care if he does it, but I'm going to see him at this party this weekend and that would be the first time I'm seeing him in like a year. I know he's gonna make a big deal out of it or at least mention it. Any comebacks or anything I could say to embarrass him and make him shut up? Sorry, dumb question.

anonymous -

First off, if you think it's a dumb question, why the hell would you bother asking?

Here's one: It's funny how you insult me with your petty remarks, when you just being pathetic leaves me at a loss for words.

Walk away, and laugh, laugh at him hard.

I was over at my friend's house today and we started fooling around and I gave him and handjob and he asked me to give him head. After a while i did but it only lasted a few seconds before he told me he was about to cum. He did so I guess he liked it but I started to worry because it didn't last long so I didn't get to do much. I'm afraid I didn't do well and he won't want to do it again. He kept touching me and stuff the rest of the day but..I dunno. advice?

anonymous -

Here are some possible reasons on why he came so fast:

1. He was really horny, so it wouldn't take much to get him off.

2. You did a good job.

3. He's a guy who ejaculates prematurely, which means he just comes too quick, it's natural for him.

Either way, he'd want more unless he wants to last longer.

I just want to make clear that me and the person involved have NO blood relation. And I am still a virgin.
August of 2004 my 2nd step cousin (adam) and his cousin on the other side of the family (cal) came to visit my family for 5 months. They stayed at our house. At that time I was 13. Then in October Adam, Cal, me and my sister (19) went to the city (New York City). After that we went to dinner. I was next to cal. And then out of no where he just grabbed my hand. So we were holding hands the entire time. We ordered like 5 bottles of wine. When we got up to leave we all felt tipsy at the same time. So we were walking back to the train station and in the middle of no where Cal tries to kiss me and we were walkin behind my sister and Adam so he pushes me agains a building and leans on me and kisses me. But I pushed him off. I did want to kiss him but for some reason I was scared too. He kept trying to kiss me the entire night. On the train on the way home he started asking me why i wouldn't kiss him. And you know how people say they are telling the truth when they are drunk.. Well he kept saying how much he liked me and other stuff. They were staying in our basement so that night me and my sister stayed with them. So I went to get drinks. Cal followed me behind and pushed me into another room and we started making out. Then I felt him get hard on me so i decided to give him a handjob. Then after that night everytime we were alone we would cuddle and kiss. We didnt tell anybody about us cause we were scared of what they would think since he was 19 and I was 13. After my birthday in Nov when I turned 14 he fingered me only once, but I have him head ... alot, and I gave him handjobs. We dryhumped like 4 times. I even gave him head in the shower. He wanted me to have sex with hime but I said no. cause I was a virgin. I knew that this "relationship" wouldnt go anywhere so I didnt want to lose it to him. And I knew that I would end up getting hurt but I still wanted to be with him. I almost got caught by my mother giving him head. So she was always suspicious of me. Then Cal and Adam left in December. Now I am goin to go visit him and idont know how to act. should i act like nothing happened? I'm a bit confused because I think now I am ready to lose my virginity to him but I dont know if he still has feelings for me. Now he is 20. But also for some reason after he left I have had the sudden urge to want to fuck somebody. I'm a virgin and I want to wait but damn...its hard. And I have particularly have given a liking to giving head. This wasn't really a question but I hope someone could give me advice anyways or help me. sorry its long.

anonymous -

[edit] Yeah, I know you're not cousins. But Adam is like your cousin, he's your step cousin and the guy is RELATED TO HIM. Either way, directly or indirectly, it's just disgusting. You all may not be related, but he would be considered extended family by marriage. No blood relation, but he is part of the family line now, it really makes no difference.

Hmm...don't take this to heart, but I think it's a little creepy, even though there is no blood relation.

I mean, it's like "Hey cuz, wanna have sex?"

I heard a similar event over the radio where a step bro and sis had a kid together, and of course got married.

But if you are willing to go through with this, just act as though nothing has happened. If he reveals that he still has feelings for you, then you can return his feelings back. Keep in mind it's unlawful for him to have sex with you, you still being a minor. But it's all up to you, if you want to then do it. Let nature take its course.

this is a very embarrising topic but i have a gf who has done numerous things to me (sexually) the problem is i truly dont know the perfect way to finger a girl.....very embarrassing but please help

anonymous -

First off, realize that there's more you can do than just finger her. Explore the possibilities!

But one that I find that works for most girls is to stick your index and middle finger inside, have palm faced upward, and do the "come hither" motion. Trust me on this one.

If you're still a little hesitant, why not ask her what she wants? This way you get her input and don't give her any unpleasant surprises.

ok so there is this counselor at my camp and she is gross. she talks annoing, not to mention she has sweaty armpits with wet all around it everyday at camp! i would expect a teenage GIRL to be a little more sanitary. i mean boys its ok but its just disturbing with girls. ick! and it is also kind of gross the kind of bra she wears. she has like e cup boobs (if there is any lol) n she wears like an a cup!!!!!! its like pushing into her skin and its even more gross in the front. im the camper, she is the counslor. i dont think that sounds right. what can i do to tell her about this gross problem without actually telling her? i hate going to camp now!

anonymous -

First off, because she may not have an appearance up to your standards, does not mean that she's any less of a person. So please, don't treat her like one.

If this bothers you so much, why not speak to whoever is in charge? Tell them that you don't believe her appearance is as appropriate for a camp counselor and it makes you uncomfortable.

Errr...I have already looked this up on google and yahoo, so dont give me that crap!

Ok, So I am looking for a background site that had backgrounds and it had HTML for the background so that I can copy it and paste on a page, Because I dont feel like figuring out the hole HTML backgrounds hint thing....Its to long...So yeah..Please help if you know what I mean!

anonymous -

I know you said not to give you Google crap, but here's my advice...

Type in a description of the specific background that you're looking for. Once you find a good site with the background, right click the background directly and a menu should pop up. Pick "Properties" and it should give you a link of the background pic to insert into your HTML code. If you need the code, just ask me :)

okay, i'm only a freshman but i would really like to be a fashion designer one day. i cant really draw people that good, but this is my passion. i love to draw. i'd like to know if anyone knows of good websites with free "bodies" i can print out. [(i would like the bodies to be sorta of tall and very slender)] this way i can design my outfits and already have a body. i would also like any tips//info to becoming a better people drawer and better outfit drawer, as i am not the best at this either. i know it sounds like i dont have alot of natural ability at this, and i dont really, but this is what i want my future to be. please i will rate fives for anyone who can give me WORTHWHILE help. please and thank you in advance. you have no idea, how much i want to be a fashion deigner. sorry, its long.

anonymous -

If you want to learn to draw people better, take an art class.

I'm not sure if there are any websites with slender figures, but my advice would be to find an online store website where you can find the "measurements" page for women. Usually they have a small simple doodle of a woman to show people where to measure to calculate waist, bust, hips, etc.

My friend has diabetes(sp?) and she eats like a pig! lol no offense but she never gains weight. she's like 5 foot 4 or so and eats all the time but weighs 995 pounds. is this normal? i don't think she's anorexic... but

anonymous -

Lol, well, if she weighs 995 pounds, I don't think it's possible to gain any more weight.

Now if this was a typo, she probably has high metabolism (meaning her body burns fat faster).
