about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.


I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

advice

my parents are way too overprotected. yea everyones are, but mine take it too literally. im in 10th grade and havent done things most middle schoolers have already. ive never drank, smoked, or done anything with a guy... i dont want to drink or smoke.. but having a boyfriend would be nice. my parents only let me out of the house for school, sports, and babysitting. if i want to go somewhere else they have to have a list of names, phone numbers, addresses,... you get the point. even if its just across the street. and i have to call them every hour while im out. not that i go out alot because they dont let me and i have to fight if i really want to go. how can i gain their trust when they wont listen to me when i try to talk to them about it? ugh im just so frustrated.

Here are some choices.

A - Talk to them about it. Even though they have their pissy mood swing moments, just do it. It won't hurt, trust me. Fights are fights. They'll get over it.

B - Respect their wishes. They make rules and such for a reason. And, I'm guessing you're their only child? If so, they're just protecting you because they worry. I'm the baby and the only girl in my family, so my parents worry about me a lot, but I let them know things, so they don't worry so much. Just respect their wishes & rules. They're put there for a reason.

And last but not least, C - In order to gain trust, do responsible things. If you're already responsible, be more responsible. Do more things around the house, get your grades way up there. By doing exceptional things, there will be rewards. In this case, your reward is pretty much freedom. And if you need to call them every hour...Cell phone. =] Use a family plan, it won't cost anything to call them.

I'm 16, and my boyfriend who is 18 will have been going out for 2 months next Friday. I was wondering.. should I get him a card? Or buy him a present? Or should I just not do anything..just simply wish him happy anniversary? What do people usually do for their 2 month anivarserys?

People don't really do anything for 2 month anniversarys because it's not really that big of a deal. If you want, just hang out with him. You should only buy him cards or stuff for 6 months & 1 year. =] That's more acceptable for presents.

Okay so I got a new IPOD for christmas and I love music!! I know alot of songs .. but none come to mind @ the moment lol I am into emo / goth / punk music

any songs that are good ?

Go to Hot Topic. Become a employee's friend, and check out their music. Or, you can go to FYE, and check out the Rock section. They'll more than likely have what it is you're looking for. And when you go, take a pen and paper. Although you'll look retarded writing down song titles, at least you'll be getting what you want. =]

I need your advice...
Well, my friend(John)is gay and he just found out his bf was cheating on him. So, I invited him to see a movie to get his mind off of the situation. Well, of course he wanted to see Brokeback Mountain. So I went with him and what do you know? His ex bf was there with another guy. He asked me if I could pretend to be with him to make his ex jealous. I didn't know anyone in there so i agreed. I didn't think he would do anything extreme. Well during the movie he held my hand, and i felt akward. He even leaned over to kiss me and we actually started making out. I actually enjoyed it and I invited him over to stay the night. Well while were bed one thing led to another and we ended up having sex. The next day at school his ex started telling everyone that he saw me and john making out. Now everyone thinks i'm gay and they aren't being nice about it. Just because i had sex with a guy does that make me gay? And if i am should i try to have a relationship with him? He wanted me to, but i didn't know if i was ready.
Thanks

I think you're gay [don't take that in a mean way...]. Either that, or bisexual; depending on whether or not you still like females. Did you like the sex? And, did you have intimate feelings for him? If you did, then just go for it. He likes you, obviously, and you obviously like him too by what you tell me. And if people aren't nice, well then fuck them. Who cares what people think about you? If they don't like it, too bad. It's your life, live it how you want. That's what I do, and if people wanna talk, then fuck, I'll give them something to talk about! I hope I helped you.

I saw my bf at the mall with another guy kissing him! Not just kissing but making out! What should i do? Should i confront him?!
HELP me please!
Thank you soooo much

It's not gross. Being gay or bi is apart of life, so all the other people who answered this question need to GETOVERIT. Anyways, confront him, and tell him how you feel. He cheated on you, so just talk to him about it. Forgive him, but don't take him back. Cheating is cheating. GUY or GIRL.

OK well my friends bf's birthday was like two days ago and she doesn't know what to go him.
He is "gangsta" and she was thinking cologn but she can't find him any.
Does anyone have any good birthday present ideas?

Well, ask him what his favorite baseball team is. At Champs, they have this wall of hats called Fitted's, and buy him one. They're expensive depending on the style. They're about 35 dollars or so, if not less or more. Or, you could buy him a cd of one of his favorite music artists. Hope I helped.

Heyy.
There is this guy that i REALLY like, but i'm too scared to talk to him and i have no idea what to say. Some of my friends say they think he likes me because he blushes sometimes when he sees me and stares and me sometimes, but he is really shy too so he wont talk to me. I want to say something to him and maybe become friends. but i dont want it to be ackward. Please help.

Hmm, what to do, what to do. Well, just talk to him casually. Say a quick hi when you see him, and maybe it'll turn to something more, and when you think the time is right, tell him you like him. I'm sure he'll be glad to talk to. Or, if you want to do it right away, go up to him when he's at his locker, and say hi, and start a conversation. Ask him what he likes, or what his favorite music artist is. Find something you guys have in common, and build conversations off of that. After a while, it'll bloom into a friendship & you'll be glad that you did it. I hope I helped you, and if not, sorry. =]

most of my people on my buddylist have creative profiles... they even have diffent fonts and little sayings... i dont see where they get this stuff like the hearts and stuff.. and i dont take them out of their profiles because i dont like when people copy off me so i dont do it to them.. i also dont see how they get all the diffrent fonts and colors in their profile because where you go and edit you profile it dont give you a choice of what font you want..

is there any websites or places where i can creative sayings and diffrent fonts and be unique?

Well, the hearts are the Copyright sign in Symbol font. The code for the copyright is ALT+0169. So, I hope I helped. As for quotes. Go on Xanga, click on "Blogrings" and type in Quotes. It'll give you all these groups with people who have really nice quotes. Or, use www.wittyprofile.com. Their quotes are amazing too.

There's this kid that i think it super hott and he has an amazing vocie and a totally awesome personality. my friends think hes ugly though.
he has like jet black hair and see-through blue eyes.
how could you say that's not hott?
anyways.
what should i do?

What should you do about what? If you're saying about your friends, do nothing. Who cares what they think? Personally, guys with black hair and blue eyes is RARE, and it's sexy. If you think he's amazing, then that's all that matters.

If you're asking about talking to him, just go up to him and say hi, and introduce yourself. If he seems frightened, give it some time & try again. =]

Which you think is better Cathloic high schools or Public high schools and explain your reason why because i don't know if i want to go to a public high school because iam attending to a cathloic high school.

I would say public school. I was in catholic school before, and I absolutely HATED it. We had to wear skirts in Winter and it sucked. The guys only got to wear pants. At public schools, there's more oppurtunities to meet people, and you can wear what you want. They're not as strict & they don't push God on you. Some kids who are in catholic church don't even believe in God. I don't know, I just really like public school. It's a cool experience, and if it's a good school, it'll look good for college.

Oh Jesus. The other night I did some stuff that was kind of close to cheating on my boyfriend at a concert. He found out and got really mad. At first he was mad because I was denying it. Finally I couldn't help it and told him what I did. And he cried and took it real bad. Now he doesn't trust me and thinks I'll cheat on him. How do I get his trust back?

Go ahead and rate me a 2, but I'm straightforward, so what I say is what I mean.

You don't DESERVE to have his trust back. First you cheat on him & then you LIE about it. If I was him, I wouldn't trust you either, and if I was him, I'd dump your ass and go find someone better. He's better off without a cheater.

Mk... so tomorrow I'm going to hang out with a bunch of my friends at one of their houses. Usually I wouldn't really care about what I wear when I'm with them, but tomorrow there's supposed to be a few guys I've had my eyes on coming too. I know when you start liking someone you're supposed to be yourself and just act normal, but I atleast want to make a good impression. Any tips on a few cute things that maybe you guys would wear?

Thanks in advance.

Well, when my boyfriend comes over, I just wear whatever, but that's not a help. Just wear some really cute tight jeans, and maybe a tank top or a cute screen tee. And maybe a little zip up sweater. As for shoes, wear whatever. If you have a studded belt, wear that too, it'll accent your jeans. And as for your hair, wear it in a messy bun. I always wear my hair that way & guys notice me, but I don't really care for them since I have my boyfriend. Also, if you wanna wear makeup, don't cake it on. Simple eyeliner & mascara is good. =)

hi, im almost 16 and ive never been kissed and never had a boyfriend...is this as bad as it seems?...and not jus girls points of veiw plz. ive had chances but never made anything of them...am i that big of a loser, i think that im attractive and im smart and a good person so whats wrong?will rate high!!!!all 5's

No, that's not bad. You don't need a guy to complete you. I know girls who are older than you and have never been kissed or have had a boyfriend. And that's fine. Most girls just don't want one because they're waiting for the right guy. Mr. Right will come sooner or later, don't worry so much about it. You're not a loser or anything, and it's not bad. So don't worry. He'll come along.

alright well me and my friend got into some trouble at the mall cause she convinced me to steal a shirt and i did and got caught and they asked her if she had anything and she did but she lied and said no then they asked her if she had anything to do with me and she lied and said no so i got into trouble for her. and ever since then which was on Tuesday - last week, we have been fighting but like i made this modeling thing and we were talking about it and i kinda miss being friends with her. but i promised my mom and my friends not to be friends with her because she got me into trouble. i need help. i dont know whether to not fight with her and have people dissapointed in me or to just give up on her.. ahh please help =[

Well, for one, she got you into trouble, convinced you into doing something you and her both knew would get you into trouble, AND, she lied to get you in more trouble. I would just forget about her. If she has habits like stealing & lying, just DROP her like a hot potato. She's definitely no good. And it's better to drop her than to have the ones you love be disappointed in you. She's not a true friend anyways.

hey
I was wondering, how come everyone all of a sudden hates preps?
Like my friends and I were at the movies tonight. And i hate labeling myself but im deffinetely in the prep catogory. And all these punk emo girls were mocking us and and following us saying " like omg im like such a prep like omg" And all this other stuff. MY friends thought they were jelous but i dont know. Does anyone know why everyone doesnt like preps? Like on myspace people are posting bulletins saying " Wow i hate preps" and all this other stuff. Im just being myself,and who i am.
Does anyone know? thanks

Face it. Preps are seen as the lying, stuck up, rich bitches. Not all preps are like that. Some are really nice, but some just don't fit that either, because they're WORSE. Preps always attack the emo, goth, punk kids because they wear black, and they get sick of it. So, they attack back, which was probably the case here. Although, when Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day came out, all the preppy girls I know, were all "OMG iM S000 PUNK, L00K AT MEEEE." And, I don't know, when people do that it's like, crossing territories. But, just ignore it. Next time it happens, don't say anything, just let it go, because you're being the bigger person by not saying anything. But as for the myspace thing, preps are attacked because they're usually the people who point out flaws, make fun of others, and talk a lot of shit. Don't take it personally, some people are just really judgemental.

well. i just turned 13. Like, 2 days ago. Ive been getting that white stuff in my underware for a while now. I would say like 4 months. I dont have alot of pubic hair. Can you get your period with out having pubic hair? Does it come after you get it ? Or do you have to have it before? Also, am i close to having my period? Im not sure. And im worried i might get it in the middle of school or something. Okay, one last question. If you get it during school, is it definately going to leak through? Or is there a chance it might not. Thanks so much if you can help me !!!

Discharge is normal, and it's a sign your period is coming. Pubic hair has nothing to do with your period. It comes when you start to mature. If you get it during school, it won't leak through since your first period is really light. If you feel wet, check. And if you worried, just wear a pad to school. Just in case. =)
