Put them into a folder, and then send it to zip. It will make them all into a .zip folder, which I am guessing will be about 40 Gig or something along those lines. Then, go to AIM and transfer files to yourself on a different computer. When your new computer is installed, put them back onto your computer, and unzip them.
Or, buy a case of CD- RWs, and use them to get it out.
Or, if you have a network, share the files to another computer, and download them there, and then get your computer to share them back.

Q: When I ask my mom if a friend can come over or something, she won't answer me. She'll act like she never heard me, then if I ask again, she yells at me and grounds me for begging and annoying her. This is so aggrivating, how can I get her to either say yes or no, and respect me more!

Next time you ask her, I advise asking her, and when she doesn't answer, say "I'l take that for a yes". And then call your friend.
If you really need to, I'd advise talking to her about it, and ask her why you aren't ever allowed to have anybody over. Then, ask her why she refuses to ever even tell you no. Accuse her of not loving you, because that always hits deep. :)

Q: Okay, this is kind of gross, but I mean, I really need help, and fast. You see, we've had a long history of breast cancer in my family, and my aunt died of it 2 years ago.
Well, I was taking a shower today, and I got out to dry myself off. I noticed that my chest hurt really bad, and I looked down, and saw this huge lump on the side of my nipple. I felt it and it felt like this huge ball underneath my skin. It hurts realy, really bad. I know that your breasts already hurt if you touch 'em, but this was just like excrusiating pain.
So I have a few questions.
1. Can you get breast cancer at 14 years old? (I just turned 14 on may 30th.)
2. Does anyone else have this?
3. If not, should I get it checked out?
4. If I do need to get it checked out, how should I tell my Mom?
I'm like, really scared. I hope its nothing, but I don't know who to ask. My Mom's not here, and when she does get here, she'll have 3 friends with her. Please help me ASAP!
|

First, you can get it at 14. You can get any form of cancer at any age. The only thing that you cannot get is a gender specific type of cancer if you are the other gender.
I'm male, so I do not have it. However, you DEFINATELY should get it checked out. History and the symptoms are a strong indicator that something may be wrong. And even if it is not cancerous, it may still be a cyst or something else than would need medical exampination.
Tell your mom the full story. Tell her that you were taking a shower, and your breasts hurt. You found a lump, and are a bit concerned over it.
When your mom gets there, ask her if you could speak to her for a few seconds in private, and let her know it is important. That will let her excuse yourself and you will have the privacy you need.

Q: Everytime I try to watch a video on the internet it kills Firefox. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and that didnt work.

You may very possibly have a virus within your computer. I have not heard of anything that would do this that is an error in the program or anything except for viruses. If you have Norton Anti-Virus, I advise running it NOW. If not, get it, or at least a trial.
If it is not a virus, then you should run on another browser for a short time. Go to microsoft and get IE, since Netscape is horrible. You probably can see videos there, but I don't know.
Is your computer up to date? If not, that may be just it. I had a 95, and it killed things in various ways as time went on.

Q: Finals are this week. Whats a good way to study. Or at least for bio..Last time I studied six hours and I got a 76..um..there is obviously something wrong. Can anybody help?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, I find the best way to study is to do about 10 minutes every night for the entire 2nd half of the year, but its a little late to do that. The key is you do not want to stress yourself. Study 1 hour a night, and only 1 hour, I find is the best way. You'll have 5 or 6 hours at the end, but it will not be crammed.
I advise just reading over the stuff once, and then go back to it and add another section on the next night. Trying to memorize it is painful.

Q: Hey my name is Rachel and iam 17 years old and my cousin Tiffany and I get along really well,but she's only 13 and only weighs 100 pounds and is 5 foot tall and is complaining about being fat all the time and now she's going on a diet to try to lose 10 pounds is this anorexia?I don't know what to do iam getting really worried about her and i've tried telling her she's not fat,but she dosn't belive me what should I do?

Anorexia is a disorder, and if she is not on a diet yet, it isn't anorexia. However, she is showing the signs that may put her into a high risk group for being anorexic. Anorexia is defined as habitually not eating, not the desire to stop eating. You should still seek some sort of help for her. Let your aunt and uncle know your concern, and also let her know your concern. Maybe even ask them to find a nutritionist or something for her.

Q: i have really skinny thighs. how do i make them bigger besides running?? will eating help?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eating will make your thighs larger, yes, however it is not the kind of large that you want. It is actually a big turn off for guys to see fatty thighs. You would want to do weight lifting for that. Go to the Y or a gym and work on a few machines that say the help your thighs. :)
Also, eating may not go where you want it to go first. Yet, you still need to eat. Not eating is not a good thing.

Q: I need to use a Floppy Disk for a project, and have come across a simple yet perplexing problem; which was and which side up do you put the floppy in? Do you keep the part with the circular part up? Do you stick it in the direction that the metal part is on?
Help would be appreciated!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The metal part goes in first, and the circular part goes down. The metal part should always remain on. DO NOT TOUCH THE FILM THAT THE CIRCULAR PART HOLDS. Sorry for the caps. It stores the data, and it will kill your floppy.

Q: (This category seemed like the closest fit.)
Is it hypocrisy to oppose capital punishment on moral grounds yet condone war as sometimes being necessary? ... Perhaps _nobody_ has the right to decree death as punishment for a person, but then, doesn't that mean justifying war _by any means_ is a morally indefensible stance?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is not because sometimes you oppose the death sentance because of the possibility of innocence, and you favor war because it destroys the guilty (The government's actions are more concrete). Or, the death penalty will kill someone, losing a life, yet war may actually save lives from a government.
By the way, if this helps, I am opposed to the death penalty AND war.

Q: If the guy you like, asked you if you liked him, what would you say? Should you tell him the truth and take the risk, or just tell him you don't like him and keep it all inside for him to find out?
Thanks.

The truth always is the best policy. Only good things come out of truths, and only bad things out of lies. Besides, he would only ask if he had some small interest in you. :)

Q: Hi. If it helps, I'm 15/f. Ok, I'm not going to beat around the bush, I think I might be gay or bi. Lately, I have found myself wanting to be with a girl more than with a guy. Today, I was at the waterpark with a friend, and I checked out almost every pretty girl I saw. Now, honestly, I don't know if it is because I might be gay, or because I find myself wanting to be a lot like them. I'm not the prettiest girl ever, and I'm not celebrity skinny. I do have some meat on my bones, but I'm not huge. Also, there is this girl at my school who just graduated. We were friends, and she was also gay. We played softball together for 2 years. I found myself wanting to be with her more and more everyday. I have had this 'crush' on her for as long as we have known each other. First, it started out with her looks, but I as I got to know her, it became stronger. I haven't had a real 'crush' on a guy since then. I don't really find any boys that attractive any more, but I find myself checking out girls more and more often. Could someone please help me, and with the information I have given, tell me what you might think it is?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you find yourself having really strong attractions to other girls, such that you would want to go out with them, you are probably lesbian or bi. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, the waterpark may just be yourself comparing to others. Girls typically do that. Yet, a good test is that if you find yourself lookig up and down someone 3 times, you are probably in love physically with them.
If you don't find boys attractive, then you are definately not bi. It would be either lesbian or assexual, and I don't believe assexuality exists.

Q: okay my first question is
1. my sisters 16th birthday is coming up and we need to know some activities we can do of the night time no spin the bottle cause our boyfriends will also be stayin alnight we already hav hide n go seek n the dark with partners but do u think thats too childish
2. my next question is what do i get her???
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

When you get to a certain age, nothing is too childish. Heck, I've seen 40 year olds playing hide and seek in the dark. Do it, it'll be fun. You also may want to rent a movie to watch, get Twister to play, ad get some music to dance to. You may also want to go out to a restaurant at the start, if you have the money.
Get your sister a gift card to a clothing store, and which one depends on her personality. If she is preppy, go for Ambercrombie. If she is un-preppy, yet has a sense of fashion, go to Kohls. If she is just "Throw anything on me", get one to Barnes and Nobles. :p

Q: I am 18 f I dont like my body cause I am tooooooo little I eat everything in front of me and then some but I cant gain wait for anything I know there is nothing wrong with me cause I went to the doctor what can I do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

You cannot gain weight because your metabolism is faster than the average human's. However, if your doctor says that you are healthy, I would not really worry about seeming too small. Sometimes, it impresses the guys. ;)
However, if you really wish to gain weight, I advise eating healthily (Even someone of small size can get sick because of eating habits), but I would stick to more breads and bready products and less to meat. Your body first burns the carbs, and then it will burn the fats. What is happening is that your body is getting through the carbs at about the same time it gets to the fats. So, meat should be IN your diet (It contains fats), but it also should be a minimal portion of it.
I also would advise eating proteins and doing some form of exercise. Doing this will allow you to gain muscle, and seem less "Little" than you actually are.
Feel free to ask me more questions. Just drop one in or IM me at GMSB543. :)

Q: My parents are what you would call...overprotective. Yes, thats a good way to some it up. Lets put it this way, i am in higschool, and i am still not allowed to have more than one friend over at a time, i have never had a party, i have never went TPing, nothing. Thsi is the first year i have been allowed to go to my school's football games and i had to beg to go to homecoming.
My mom hates my best friend, she thinks shes a "bad influence" and refuses to let me go to her house and my house is totally lame. Whenever seh invites me over, my mom gets soo mad at me and we get into a fight. I have asked my parents mroe than once to try and trust me but they say they cant. WHat can i do to make my parents ease up a little?
*note* i can be trusted, i have been an all "A" honor student my whole life while juggling 3 seasons of varsity sports....i am MORE than responsible*

Since you can be trusted, and sound like an all out decent person, you can make a very compelling case if you wished to. It could almost be like a college application. It'd take a lot of work you shouldn't have to go through, but I think it might work. Write a 250-500 word essay on why you can be trusted, show a list of good things you've done, and ask teachers to write a letter for you saying that you can be trusted. Ask your parents what you ever did that warrents a loss of their trust, and why they want you to not have friends. If that does not work, go to your guidance counselor, and you, she, and your parents will need to have a discussion.

Q: I feel REALLY bad about something that happened today. Well I was in a horrible mood this morning because of what happened at work the other day- things got so bad I almost quit. Also I got no sleep because I ran out of my medication last night that I'm supposed to take before I go to bed. Well my friend walked over to my appartment this morning (uninvited). I was still in a really bad mood and was being really bitchy- not to her just moody. I apologized to her and then treated her to lunch at Mcdonalds. I told her why I was upset and that I was thinking of looking for a new job. I still feel really bad- when she first walked in to my appartment building she said "good morning"- I said "it's not a good morning". I apologized twice- but she sort of just invited herself over which upset me a little she should have phoned first. Should I still apologize for being bitchy or just drop it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wold apologize. Your friend, as I am imagining and seeing it, is a very caring individual and recognises that you are not proud of what you did to her recently. You should let her know the full situation, and tell her that you are really sorry about what you said and will say in this post-time period.

Q: A lot of people seam to think its gross if you don't shave "down there", I mean should I????? does everyone? lol and is it a turn off if you dont?
Thanks!

If you are male, it generally is a bit of a turnoff to the girl if you do, but it doesn't matter. It grows back within 3 weeks. But females can go either way. I'm male, and I prefer shaved. However, there are other males who prefer unshaved. In the end, you do what is comfortable for you. If you feel uncomfortable shaving down there, then don't. If you want to, go ahead.
As for percents, I believe the male is 75% unshave, and femal is 50%.

Don't. With excuses, it will make it seem too much like you just hate him and need some way out. You should go to him and say "I'm sorry, but I think we need to see other people". Keep it as simple as that. An excuse can only hurt you.

Q: I have the urge to write a story for some reason, but I can't think of anything people would want to read. I'm thinking of like a chapter book, something I can make a summer project out of. But the problem is, I always have problems figuring out what to write about! I want it to be from the point of a teenage girl, something I can relate to being, and then have an interesting plotline that follows. Something about going through a hard time. It could have to do with relationships, but also something beyond that too. Set in the present time. So tell me, what would you guys like to read??
BTW, I am good at descriptive writing.
I will rate high and thanks so much in advance!

THE PENGUIN RULES ALL! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Cough*
Hello! My name is Steven, and I am a mentor. Yes, that does mean that I help other people. I have helped over 1000 people to date, and have helped some individuals for over 1/2 a year. The miracle of my life occurred 17 years ago. I say miracle only because 1/4 babies survive to be born.
I am the first born of 2 children, and I am also the black sheep. I listen to Classical Music, so you can call me a weirdo. :P. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so take no offense if my answers never seem to end.
In school, I get As and Bs. More Bs really. I play trombone, and was the section leader of the trombones at my school. This year, I am the captain of the entire brass section. I am an Eagle Scout, so I guess that says I'm persistant? You make the call. I am a 3 time varsity letter winner, looking for a 4th next winter. I also participate in the musical, where I am a Bass 2. :)
I am straight, and have never had a relationship beyond a friend. However, I have survived the bumps in the road, and can advise you if you wish it. Though, it's not my strength.
I'm here for you, and only you. That means that my advise will not always confort you. Heck, it may even scare you. Yet, I want you to do what is best for your mind. Not what is typically seen as best for you, but what YOU see best for YOU. Heck, if you wanted what was seen as best for you, you would've asked your parents what you should do. They give you what's typically best.
Alright, before I start getting tendinitis from writing that over and over again, I'll just say what I mean. I mean that if you ask me about something, let's say walking 10 miles a day, and I think it's rediculous, yet you are asking for something to do, I am NOT going to say "10 miles is the type of a thing a anorexia athletica would do. Try 5." I'll give you something to do.
Oh, and I'm a L1 moderator, which means I rate questions.
Don't hesitate to IM me, I'm usually on. If I'm not, just drop one in the Inbox!
Oh, by the way, I am liberal in everything. That means that abortion is a woman's RIGHT, and gay marriage should be LEGAL.
Ask away!
