I've convinced myself that just because the rest of my family smokes, doesn't mean I will. But most people I know say "you never know if you're going to end up smoking yet"
I always tell them "I promise you I'm not going to smoke" and they tell me I cant make a promise like that. Hardly anyone believes me. A few people do but that's not enough. I could start smoking anytime...so when is the right time that they will believe me? When I'm older? I'm still young, and if I'm not smoking now...I'm not a smoker, so why can't I just stay like I am.....NOT A SMOKER. I know a lot of people say that they're not going to smoke and some of them end up smoking, but I'm not one of those people. I counted how much money my family would waste altogether with the money they spend on cigarettes all combined....and thats like 50,000 a year!
That's messed up.
I'm not going to smoke because I already see the way my family struggles with it. It breaks my heart that they're controlled by a poisonous stick. What should I do? Do you think I'm going to smoke just because the rest of my family does? I'm not the kind of person who gives into peer pressure...and I've already turned an offer for a cigarette down.
I'm about to take all their cigarettes and flush them down the toilet...that's how scared I am for them, and it's going to waste a lot of their money, but that will just teach them a lesson. (even though most people say that a if you take their cigarettes away, it will just make them want to smoke more, well I'll make sure they dont) Should I? I'm so confused...and sorry for the length. PLEASE HELP! (Indeed)

What these people are saying should not affect you if this is a promise to yourself. Smoking is something you do to yourself, so the only person who can make that choice is you.

If you are intelligent enough to know the effects of smoking and how harmful it is to not only you and others, then I think the choice is already made for yourself. Just stick with your choice.

My entire family smokes, but I have no desire whatsoever to smoke and I know that I never will.

Make the right choice for yourself and ignore these other people who simply wish for you to fail. Peer pressure is all crap, but it gets a lot of people. Be strong and don't give in, stick to what you believe in.

As for helping your parents to stop smoking, have you talked to them about it? Have you told them how much it bothers you? How you fear for their lives? If you want them to quit they need to be motivated to do so, and it won't be easy. If they do decide they want to quit then you should support them in doing so 100% and even if they aren't able to quit right away don't be angry, just tell them that no matter how long it takes you will support them in trying to quit.




I aksed if I should ask my crush out. . and if you liked my poem!? So did u!!?!?!?!? (Indeed)

A little bit run-on and maybe you shouldn't use ellipsis (...) in a poem, but that might just be me.

Its a good start.




Last week for some reason I'm still trying to find I kissed my best friend. First kiss evar. My best friend is female. As am I. I have a boyfriend. Last night I told him about the kiss. He said he had to leave and hung up. I don't want to lose him and the kiss with *Sarah meant nothing. Has anyone been in my situation? How do I tell my boyfriend I want him over *Sarah and the kiss meant nothing and have him believe me? (Indeed)

If he can't or won't listen or try to understand, then you may have to let him go. You were exploring and thats not wrong. He may never be able to understand why you did it, and may not get over it.

You don't need him anyways.




Today I got a new pair of pants from hot topic. . and I wanted to get another pair, but they ddin't have it in my size. . Im a size 0!!!

What the hell? Try asking a question.




Everybody's always getting colds and the flu and stuff in the winter... my question is, how do you know if you're so sick you should see a doctor? (Indeed)

Usually if you have a cold or flu that persists for a long period of time, such as more then 2 weeks or so, you should see your doctor just to be safe. Also, if you have a very bad cough then you should also visit the doctor for medication so as to not damage your lungs.

Want to help the situation? Wash your hands and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and never touch a public door handle after having just coughed or sneezed into your hand. I carry waterless sanitizer in my pocket when I have a cold because I would prefer to keep my germs to myself. Be part of the solution, save your germs.




Chatspeak burns my eyes. How can I jump through my computer and kill people who use it? (Indeed)

Alright I have been working on a method for the death of anyone who decides to replace an 'ause' with a 'uz'. Or any other stupid different way of typing that 'saves time'.

Can I get a message out to all those who do this while I'm here? Thank you. It is not only annoying but it also makes any one using it appear to be a 12 year old kid in 6th grade.

Send me a letter with everything you would ever like typed out and I will personally type it all out for you so long as you never hit the kets w, u and t in succession again. Please, for the sake of all that is holy and good, just type the whole freaking word out. No bombs are going to explode in the nano second it saves by not having to type a few extra letters.

Does it make you look 'cool'? Dear Lord in Heaven no. It just allows people to either a) jump off a cliff in sheer anger and frustration or b) hire a great hitman.

Just stop it. Stop it now before I kill someone.

My method for jumping through the computer screen is simple:
1) Get baseball bat
2) Smash monitor screen
3) Hit 7f_@# and finally hit the Number lock key 12 times.
4) Observe portal which has opened
5) Jump inside portal
6) Kill




I like this kid named Orlando...I just look at him and I melt. But the thing is, I've never ever talked to him before, and he's never talked to me before and I'm so confused because I don't think it's just a crush, and he is just so cute and funny from what I've seen from him.
In the beginning of the day at school all the students have to go into the cafeteria because classes didn't start yet...and usually I walk in and only him and his friend are there and he looks at who came into the caferteria and I feel like I'm gonna trip or something because his stare catches me off guard....
As you can tell...I like this kid, and my mom works for the Board Of Ed in that particular city, and she lets me do some extra help with her work and she pays me for it. Well, since he goes to the school in the city my mom works for, one day when i was doing a job I came across his address. So my question is, do you think it would be like I'm stalking him or something if I write him a letter just saying how I felt about it...because I'm only going to write it when this school year is over so if anything happens I'm not there. (I know..but I'm shy and I feel like this is the only way I could do it) If I explain to him in the letter that I'm that girl (because he's seen me before, and noticed me) then do you think this is a good idea? Please help me...I really want him to know, but I'm extremely shy.
I'm very sorry for the length, but Im desperate. (Indeed)

Ok... thats coming off a bit creepy. He will definitely wonder where you got his address from and it would probably be 600 times better if you simply approached him. Clearly you are shy but if you really believe he is worth it then you will work up the courage.




Is it wrong to copy software to your computer that you don't pay for? (Indeed)

Yes. Now think about this for a second. If no one pays for any of their software then where will the money come from to create the software or pay the wages of those who must develop and make it?

Theft is theft I'm afraid. (theft is theft is borrowed by me from those satellite theft commercials on tv)




I can't tell if i am but i can't stop thinking about him and i have a not in my stomach (Indeed)

Maybe you are hungry.




How do I win back my ex boyfriend that cares for me and I care for him but he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now? I mean we flirt, cuddle, play around,and hug.I'm very confused. (Indeed)

This is ex boyfriend is dumb. Perhaps he thinks he can still flirt and cuddle with you without having to be tied down. Do you want to allow this? Thats up to you. If he isn't interested in a relationship then he should not be leading you on.




Hey, snarfism here, I've been getting complaints about my answers. Like, They're too long-winded/too mean/ect. I was wondering if this happens to everyone, or if i'm just a freak bad advice-giver? (Indeed)

People seem to be a little wimpy and whiney. You make me laugh.




I know it's not really polite to pick your teeth at the dinner table with toothpicks (well, better those than your finger I guess, but that's not the point). So if you keep toothpicks on your table all the time as just part of the centerpiece art or whatever, does that make you trashy or what? (Indeed)

I thought it was okay to use toothpicks as long as you don't make a lot of annoying sounds and eat whatever you've picked out of your teeth. Perhaps I was wrong.

If you have them there and don't invite their usage that may be misleading for people who sit at your table. They may think you welcome them to pick crap out of their teeth in front of you.




Um...I'm sorry but I'm not quite clear on what oral sex is...or ejaculation...it's all so confusing because I thought oral sex was simply saying the actions, not actually doing them. I didn't know you could get HIV and all of that stuff from it. Can someone please explain it to me???
From~
Curious (Indeed)

Oral sex involves your mouth, which is where the oral name comes in.

For both a male and a female oral sex involves using the mouth and tongue on your partners sexual organs for pleasure.

You can most definitely contract HIV and other STD's from oral sex because you can and most likely will ingest bodily fluids containing the diseases. You should use protection even when engaging in oral sex.




ok here we go ..... Im soo ugly ... my boyfreind now x boy friend dumped me after he had sex with me and now i think im pregnet.... he sed i was the uglyest person alive and and i belive him!! i havent seen my parents since i was 5 cuz im they ran away cuz im soooo ugly!! so my uncle tells me everyday of my life... :-( i have no friends... no 1 wants to be friends with me.... at times i think seriously about suicide cuz its the only way out that i can see... i dont want to have a baby or be UGLY n e more... so if n e of u no a good plastic surgun or a good abortionist let me now PLEASE!!.. and if n e one knows a good hiT MAN let me kno so i can give my xbf wat he deserves.... !!!!! (Indeed)

First of all - who defined what ugly is? Just because some asshole ex said you were unattractive doesnt make it true. And I somehow doubt your parents left you because you were ugly. Boyfriend=prick. Uncle=prick.

Aside from that, if you think you are pregnant the first thing you need to do is find out for certain.

What does your boyfriend deserve? Oh my, a much worse fate than any hit man could deliver. But nonetheless, people who seem like they need a kick in the ass, will get one some day. Which means you don't have to be to the one to get revenge, just know that by letting it go you are the better person.

He'll get his eventually.




Your website spacefem.com is driving me CRAZY!!!! Im trying to log in after i registered, but the !@#$%^& think wouldnt let me!!!!! I typed everything in correctley like 1000000000000 times but the thing said it was wrong. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! peace out (Indeed)

Try the FAQ section or email the support address for help.

An additional warning: Do not hit computer. Turns out it is solid and hurts more than how much your head hurts from frustration.

(Indeed)

Wait 5 years?




what you just said has nothing to do with wut i was aying, and it was directed to a certain person. . not the public, Something is wrong I dont know wut maybe thye rejected it or something, , but they asked me if I even knew what punk was. . and they were being wicked rude. im sorry (Indeed)

Heres what you should do, honestly.

Stop caring about it. You shouldnt take advice from people who are unkind to you. Even if you were wrong, since I don't know what happened exactly, you should let it go. Don't harass this person or make any more comments about what happened because it really won't help the situation I don't think.




What do you do if everyone you thought was your friend suddenly turns their back on you? (Indeed)

Dont make rash choices. Sit back and think about the situation. When you are angry or very upset people tend to make irrational decisions based solely on their feelings at the time. You could end up doing something you'll regret later.

After you've thought about the situation for a good long time and you discover these people are jerks then oh I dont know... TP them.




Im not so perfect at spelling, and puncuation! WOW! Who cares. .atleast im nto an ass and making people feel bad for asking a damn question!
Loser. . . And I am going to be what ever the fuck I want! So shut up and you might wnat to stop giving advice, cuz u suck at it. Im being serious! Punk is a lifestyle, and music. . Punk is being yourself and not trying to be noticed. . . You arnt born punk, so obvoiously people ahd to say I want to eb a punk. . and they became punk .. ok u cnat be born punk its not like punk is like japaneese or mexicna or english u know wut im trying to say!? Well I mean I dont know everything about punk, but I know its not just clothes. . So have fun and bye (Indeed)

This is isnt a question. And this is under work... how strange. Anywho.

No one cares what the definition of punk is because no one should be able to tell another person how to dress or what music to listen to. Thats stupid. OooOOhhh I'm a punk and a bad ass? Not so much. Those who may be dressed in the 'punk' fashion (as if it matters) may not necessarily be a little bad ass rebel.

Because seriously, who the fuck gives a rats ass.

Heres a novell idea - be yourself and stop trying to be something. If you have to try, then it just isn't you.




I am a fast runner you see and I got asked to run this thing called the turkeytrot, but Iave to run in front of the whole school. I am araid of getting lastplace should I still run? (Indeed)

Definitely.
Get out there and run as best as you can. All the people watching can't say a thing to you since you are running and they are not. At least you are trying.
