i love sushi, and always thought it was good for me. The thing is, this article says the complete opposite. should i stop eating sushi, or should i just be a bit more careful:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/dietfitness.html?in_article_id=381958&in_page_id=1798&in_a_source

i would suggest eating it just in moderations.

also if you want it to be more healthy and less concerned, just make the sushi yourself.

Ok, I'll give you the complete awkward truth: the guy i had my first kiss with and first uhh..other stuff.. with, told me he wnted me to let loose during the year until i see him again (which i guess means he wants me to make out and fool around with alot of guys so i'd get better at it so hell like it next year) now there's this guy who is obsessed with me and ould do anything for me to "do stuff" even if it didnt mean anything to me..so technically I could use him to "practice on" and when i meet the guy i acutally like it wont be as bad and awkward this year.. but im hesitating.. i dont think i want to be that kind of girl. i dont want to kiss someone i dont like. but then again- i do want to be good at kissing for when i see him again. so he wont get disapointed again.

please help me

i would say no. you really dont want to be that kind of person, and youo dont want other people knowing it.

Hey. Well, I'm 14/f. So I'm going to have to start saving my money, and kinda quick. See, I've been saving coins (pennies, quarters, dimes, ect.) for my family's vacation this coming summer, so when we go shopping I have a lot of money to shop with. And then I take my coins to the bank and they turn it into cash. Also, I've been saving money for my trip to Ireland for next summer, so I have money to shop with there also. I get $10 each weekend for allowance, and I've been taking $5 of that back for Ireland. But heres my problem. Yesterday, my iPod broke, so now I have to save up for a new one! I'm soo mad about that. Well, my parents said they would pay for half of my iPod. Well, I'm a HUGE shopaholic. Like, I always want new clothes and stuff. I always get my clothes on sale, but still, it's like an addiction :). My parents said that if I started doing even more stuff around the house, they would give me money, so that takes some of my problem away, because I'll use that money to save for my iPod. But how am I supposed to save money for this summers vacation, trip for Ireland next summer, new iPod, and a little shopping here and there???? Please don't tell me to get a job because I'm not into that right now at my age. I would be willing to babysit, but I don't really have anyone to babysit. So please, help! I want my iPod within the next 2-3 months. Thanks!

ok well here is a smart thing to do.

get a couple of jars (or containers)
label the jar based on what that money is to be used for, so everytime you get money distribute it into the jars
for example
there could be a jar for
-random spending money (candy bar, chips, random stuff)
-vacation money (ireland)
-saving money (just there in case you are in need of extra cash)
-spending money (ipod)

have different jars like this. so everytime you get money put 50% of it in the vacation one, 20% in ipod one, 20% extra, and 10% in spending

this will help you save up and wil add up too.
ps base the percentages on what you thin kis most important (i just gave an example)

good luck

okay..high school classes can be very boring sometimes, as I'm sure you all know..and I suffer from..falling asleep during some of them.

I can't help it. Sometimes..even when I get like 10 hours of sleep, my eye lids still feel heavy..and they droop down..and I feel like sleeping. No matter what I do..clench my butt muscles, pump my veins, drink water..NOTHING works. what can I do to cure this? lol

well, i would go to the bathroom and splash cold water on my face. but that might not be the best idea.

all i can say is that some times its just way to hard to say up. but find something to do in class. like count the posters or weird things like that. or even say jokes to yourself about things around you.

good luck

how come there are some families that dont really care what their kids do? they'll let them have sex and just do whatever they want to do. do they not think that they will get in troulbe?

i guess they are just to busy or they probably think that if they dont intefere, everything will be fine. plus i'm sure those kids realize that the parents aren't going to do anything and so they end up doing more and going in thte wrong direction.

kinda makes you glad our parents care (just too much, lol)

Ok so i want to write a storey. i want it to be a true storey about a murder. any ideas? also, i would need websites that give me information on the murder. oh, and i want the storey to be kind of a long one...like a chapter book.

all advice welcome!

is this for school or for fun.
and what ideas do you need? do you need character ideas or about the actual murder? knowing this would help narrow down the answer and make it easier.

i would love to help if i knew a little more. I have lots of ideas, i just need to know what you are looking for. Drop it in my inbox and i'll get right back to you.

Ok so I met this girl and Ive only seen her on special accasions so I dressed nicly. I'm really a tomboy and dress in t-shirts and jeans. So my new friend thinks I like this boy because I'm copying him (she thinks that I've really always been like that). How can I get her to stop?

simply tell her and explain to her. also ask her why she gets this idea.

if she doesn't listen, ignore it. its nothing to get upset about.

How many days of not eating will it take to start losing weight?

not eating is very bad for you. your body need nutrients from the food to eat to funtion. not eating will take that away and you body will have to do other things to get that nutrient (this is bad because it will stop some funtions in your body)

so not eating is not the answer to loosing weight. eat, just make it healthy. do you know the food phyramid? follow the portions and guildlines it says about food.

eating healthy aand excersizing is the best and most effective way to loose weight and be healthy (and thats what counts)

Okay so i'm really confused and frustrated on how to make a family tree (ex. Medusa).

Okay, so the mom and dad goes on top with a huge space in between (no grandma, grandpa).

Then you make a line under their names and make arrows going down, writing the children's names and underline that.

what if one of the children gets married? do you put the husband's name beside them and underline? Wouldn't that make it look like he'sthe children too?

no, what you would do it have it connected to the person that they are marrying. or you could put a heart between them to show that they are married, a plus sign works too

My mom has some diamond earrings but theres a problem...one of the diamonds fell out and she lost the part the holds it (the actual earring part). So what we're working with is a whole earring (earring part and diamond) and the diamond from the other earring. My question is, can we purchase just the earring part?

well, some places do that while others dont. so i would suggest going to a jeweler and asking them :) hopefully they will.

I have a test on monday for school and i need to study some words.The problem is that whenever I study, I forget what i studied the day of the test.My question is, how do i remember what i studied so i dont fail that test?Any advice helps thanks!

study over a couple of days. like if your test is friday start studying monday. study a little bit everyday. this way you will have more memory of it. cramming for a test never helps but studying over time does :)

I am from Pakistan

Dear Sir,

First I Masturbate quite often, but when I had a UTI (unknown reason, don’t have sexual reason), I left it. I took antibiotics which doctor suggested me. Now I don’t have infection but whenever I got erection or masturbate I feel burning in my penis. If I left masturbation and try to avoid erection then I feel quite comfortable for a long unless I got again an erection. I don’t know why I feel burning in my penis.

How I can solve this problem permanently and have proper erection without any burning later or at the time of erection.

Please help me out.

Thanks

Regards

Faisal Altaf

OMG so i REALLYYY want to go to one of my top 3 schools: 1. Harvard 2. Yale 3. Stanford

i kind of know what i have to do to get in. so i need to know if i do the fallowing will it help me get in:

*karate lessons
*ice skaing lessons
*safety town--its this volunteer probram
*volunteer at the hospital

I really want to get into my schools BUT i'm not doing any honors classes,and i'm most likely not going to be valadictorian. I'm in 8th grade and am going to high school in Augest. I don't really care if I don't have a life in high school...as long as i get into my top 1-2 --i really want to go to those. 3-want to go but want to go to top 1-2 more!

please help all advice welcome!

well, let me tell you getting into these selective schools is very difficult. these days, schools like this look at everything. like they wont except you becuase you are valedictorian but they need other proof. they look at grade, ACT and SAT. they look at class rank and having honors or IB/AP classes is very important! if you are considering these schools then talk to your counsler to help you find what are the requirements and what you will have to do. good luck.

There is this girl in my English Class and I really like her, but just recently she got a boyfriend.
Now because I am also friends with her boyfriend, I feel guilty liking her. Is it still ok to talk to her, as friends?

why not. you have permission to talk to anyone as a friend. like they say, you cant choose your family but you can choose your friends. thats what its all about.
