ok, i moved into a new room like, 2 years ago, and now i'm in the loft. it's really big, but the carpet is screwed up cuz when me and my brothers were little, we spilled a whole bunch of crap on it. and i want 2 paint it, but i can't cuz 1) it's plaster and 2) it's connected 2 the living room, and i'd have 2 paint it 2, which my parents won't let me. i can't have curtains 4 my windows either becuz they're shaped like triangles. lol. i don't know what 2 do. does anyone have any decorating ideas? thanx.
You could probably make some small curtains with rodds. Or you could put a bunch of bottles or candles in the window. You could string some beads and take them in with decorative push pins.
Make, find, or buy some little artwork for the walls. Try a thrift store. You can go to a carpet outlet store and buy leftover carpet and have it bound. Or buy some little throw rugs to go over the bad carpet. When my best friend was in college, they hung wrapping paper or fabric on the walls to change the color because they couldn't paint.
You could get some bean bag chairs or make some huge pilllows to take up some of the space and make a little reading area. There are some of those cool strange little lights at wal-mart you could use. Look at some magazines and try to recreate them on the cheap. You can get a load of them for a dollar at the thrift store while you are out looking.

Sometimes I act like a boy bc I collect cards that like all the boys in my class have. I spend allot of time trading with this boy. Sometimes I think that he likes me. Should I keep on doing cards or act like a girl girl?
Be yourself. If you enjoy collecting cards or doing other things that boys do, its ok. My boyfriend thinks I am pretty cool,and I like using power tools. But I also like getting my toenails painted so,just be you.

hey i am wondering about like abercrombie and the expencive stores like that...why do they have to cost soo much all the cute stuff costs way too much. how can i get the money?
Well. You can take small jobs from neighbors such as washing cars or babysitting. You can also wait for a sale. Have you ever been to thrift store? They have some cool things for a big discount, but you have to be really patient. Sometimes they are practically new.

Hey..
I know this is an awkward question..but I just shaved "down there" after receiving advice from others to do so before swimming season..and I was wondering how often u have to shave it? Are there any negatives/positives for doing so? Thanks
I usually only do it once a season becuase it gets itchy growing back for me. You might think of putting some lotion or aloe on it to soothe the itch. The only reason you need to shave it is if it sticking out or showing outside your bathing suit. It is up to you.

oh yeah (gay person) i love rainbows too does that mean im gay
No because I like rainbows too, and I am not gay. To me they are a part of God's promise never to destroy the world through a flood.
Gay people adopted rainbows reportedly because they saw themselves as a "friend of Judy" aka Judy Garland. Judy had a tendency to be surrounded and loved by gay men becuase of some of her triumphs over adversity. Here is an interesting article, and you can find more probably through a search engine: http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/08/gross.htm

I have this friend that thinks she sould be invited to everything.She thinks that I can only hang out with her. Everytime she calls to see if I wanna hang out with her, I just cant say no.She flips out when I say no and gos running to her mom, and she comes back saying that I have to hang out with her because her mom says I have to. I really dont wanna hang out with her because she is acts like she is the boss of everything,and we have to do what ever she wants to do. What should I tell her when she calls to hang out and I dont want to?? Please answer!
Thanks...
KeLsEy
Tell her you don't want to hang out with her right now. That there is something else you would rather do. Apparently you need a break from this person. You might have your mom talk to her mom if its a huge problem.

I'm 16 & i admit, im currently head over heels with my best guy friend. He's loyal, truthful, funny, sweet, intelligent, gives me attention, flirts with me, & he's luckily single (actually-- neither of us have ever had a significant other.. which would suprise lots of people because -not to sound concieted- we're well liked & just plain good people.. and he for one is a GOOD catch) Anyways, we're kind of stuck in a rut. I am almost positive that he likes me, and i definately like him. Maybe like isnt even the word.. cause its stronger than that. But neither of us will make the first move. I know for a fact that both of us have gone through a situation where we do try to make the first move with another person & it ends up in a mistake or whatnot. So im afraid we're both too scared to take the initiative. I'm trying to ease my way into it.. taking baby steps & making subtle comments & trying to make him comfortable to make the first move himself. Any of you ever been in a situation like this?? Please help me.. i dont want to lose him & regret not taking my chance!! :o\
You don't know if you don't ask. Ask him how he feels. Maybe play 20 questions and sneak that one in. It sounds like you are slowly building up to it even without our advice. If he cares about you, it won't matter if its awkward because he probably feels the same. Have you considered a pillow fight or tickle torture? It sometimes releases the tension long enough for you both to realize it just feels good to hold or touch somebody. Take it easy. It will come. Just don't get impatient.

i am gay and i think my mum knows, what do i do?
Your mom loves you no matter what you are. She may not always understand you, but if anyone is one your side it's mom. Why don't you talk to her about how you feel over a cup of tea or coffee?

OK theres a cute girl from work, we started outflirting till i knew she had a bf. We still flirted and started hanging out more than she was with her bf. i found out he's a complete dick to her and shes tried breaking up with him 5 times but he's manipulative. In the duration of our friendship she fooled me into thinking she broke up with him when they were really just breaks. One night after work we just hang out at a park talkign, she kisses me, and i hesitate so she thinks i didnt want to. Next morning i take her home and she apologizes later that day, when i really wanted the kiss. Month or two later i take her home late and tired and we talk, wrestle a little bit, the before i know it i initiate a make out session. She stops a couple times to say you do realize this is cheating right KNowing her bf i didnt care so we continued. next morning she says its a mistake and soon she claims she loves her bf. Anyway i tell like 2 people at work i trusted and word got round to her so she doesnt really talkto me anymore. OH yeah two days later she broke up with her bf for real. I truly like her i think what do i do?
Oh wow. I think she needs a little space right now. Apparently, she cannot decide what she wants. I understand you want attention, but the relationship would be better off if you can wait her out. I know that my current boyfriend and I had this problem. It took us a while to get back together (like years) and finally I got tired of being controlled by the guy I was going steady with. She needs to know you care and are there for her when she is ready. She probably doesn't even know how much better she feels yet.

this year, our my grade got a new student. he sat at the table next to mine in lunch. The second i saw him, i felt like i knew him and i felt like i needed to be friends with him. He is on my bus also and i found many times he would turn around and look at me. Then we started talking on AIM and eventually he would turn around in lunch and sit at my lunch table. Recently this summer, he asked me to hang out with him and he even ditched the girl he liked to hang out with me all day and then he told her he had fun with me and my other friend. He talks to me more now and he told me to call him once to make plans to hang out. Why did i feel like i need to be his friend so much since i saw him, and what does this all mean? I dont feel like i like him or any thing but im confused with what direction our friendship is goin in because sometimes we talk alot and then sometimes we dont talk at all. Im confused...
I think the answer is that you enjoy his company, and he enjoys yours. You don't have to "like" each other. Just be friends and hang out. There is nothing better than a great guy you can talk to. Be patient.

Well,there is this guy whom i really like and we get along very well.We're just friends.Recently he sent me a message on my cell which read"No one can hold you like I hold you,no one can kiss you like i kiss you, no one can love you like i love you".I called him up and asked him wether its true and he said he does nt know and when the time will come he will tell me. I wish i could read peoples mind.By the way im a 15 year old girl.Pleas advice........
I think he likes you, but he is a little bit shy. Maybe you could sit somewhere and really talk to him. I think he said "I don't know" only because he is a little bit embarassed. Give him a hug and tell him you like him. You have to talk to him to see what is on his mind. Otherwise both of you will be spinning your wheels.

My friend Marina cuts,smokes, and is threatning to kill herself. I've told her plaenty of times suicide is not the way, but she is not listening. Should I ignore her protests and contact someone? But who?
Please reply, thanks :)
Ignore her and immediately tell someone: her parents, her teacher, the guidance counselor, a member of the clergy. Absolutely do not hesistate.

I am 80 years old and have a credit card with a balance of over $7,000. I have been unable to keep up the payments. My total monthly income is $640 a month. I do not own a home, a car, or have life insurance. They have turned my account over to a collection agency who is threatenin to throw me in jail or garnish my social security check. What do I do? I have offered to pay them $25 a month, but they will not accept anything but a settlement of one payment of 50% of the balance.
As long as you are paying them something, I don't think that they can throw you in jail. It takes a long period of time for them to actually garnish your check. You might check into a charitable agency to help with your problem. If you can't talk to your family, then try talking to your church. There may be a member than can help you, or maybe the church itself can assist. You need a lawyer who can assist you in some capacity. Good luck.

Alright Well I dont want to waste your time but this is kinda complicated! Im 16 and I was going out with a 21 year old. Everything was perfect! He introduced me to ALL his family and friends, he told everyone I was his girlfriend (even to pretty girls he knew) It was totally perfect and I felt so special! He complimented me all the time and told me I was "the one" and had even told me that I was a freak in bed and I was the best he'd ever had! Well after all this he started to act shady. He wouldnt call me or come around for a whole week and when he finally did it would only be for a small amount of time..I also heard from different people that he was flirting with this one SLUT tasha!! Whom already has a boyfriend. Well to cut it short, We broke up and I really dont even know what the deal was..We kinda just agreed to not being together!? Im heartbroken and if you have ANY advice as to why you think he did this or what I should do, It would be greatly appreciated. *Thanks*
Ok. Here is the deal. He's too old for you and if he had sex with you its statutory rape. Some guys just like to take advantage of young girls. He got what he wanted and left.
Forget him and date someone closer to your age for now. When you get a little older it won't matter about age as much. Right now you aren't ready for a mature relationship, or you would have seen this idiot coming from a mile away. They use charm and cunning to get you to bed an they are gone. Not all guys are like this, but its hard to find a fella that is nice and behaves.

can you help me find some books to read?i've read all the harry potters like 100 times, all the lemony snicket books,inkheart by cornelia funk,the traveling pants series,like all the books by louisa may alcott,chasing redbird,and mostly all the royal diary books, a lot of others too. could you please give me some advice on series and books to read?
When I was younger, I liked books like Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I also liked Nancy Drew by Carole Keene. I loved Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling. You might also check out the King Arthur series by Mary Stewart (the Crystal Cave and the like). Ask your librarian or look at some stuff from amazon.com. If you look at some of the books you have already read, they give you some examples of what other people may have enjoyed.

OMG i just realized one of my boobs is bigger than the other, WHAT DOES TAHT MEAN am i an alien? i must have a disease how do i tell my mom? what do i do?
You are not an alien. Your mom will tell you that it happens to all of us. In fact, you might notice one of your ears is bigger than the other too.
As far as being comfortable, get measured for a bra in your correct size. You will feel better. There are places that custom make bras, but you don't have to have one to be comfortable. It is usually just a slight difference.

Breaking the rules isn't going to score you any points. If you act more responsibly by obeying the rules and maybe even helping her around the house, then she may increase your privleges. If you keep sneaking around, she will definitely put a monkeywrench in your social life.
