Hey there. Ask away whatever you want answered and I'll do my best. Please avoid unconventional capitalization and spelling - it makes the questions harder to read and so I'm less likely to answer.

In my government class, the teacher was talking about the different types of government and our German exchange student was talking about the Nazis. Our history teacher started telling us about a group of like two girls that sing about how great Hitler was. He said they have extremely blonde hair and blue eyes. I was wondering if anyone knew who they were and what songs they sing. I'm really curious about them and i want to download the music and take it into my government class for the teacher.
Thanks! (link)

Yup, Laura's right, Prussian Blue is the group. Here's the link to their website:

i've heard that if you sleep on a satin pillow, in the morning your hair will be straighter, non-frizzy, and your hair won't mess up from the night before. is this true? thanks! (link)
| |
It won't keep your hair perfect, but it sure reduces snarles and frizz! I never have to tie mine back or anything to make the satin do its job - it's a nice, easy way to take less time in the mornings getting knots out.

Hey, I am just wondering,
Have you heard of scolioses? and back brace?
well i have a back brace and i might take it off in 6-8 months if you have a friend or anything that has it. Can you please share me what its like to them? I'm just wondering how other people feel about this.
Well thanks. (link)
|
Well, I guess I'm a little confused by your question, but I'll try my best to answer, since I do have a friend who has scolioses and dealt with the back brace deal.
She had hers for a couple of years and was really good at finding excuses not to wear it because she disliked it. But, she also knew that wearing it was a good thing for her so she kind of...put up with it until she got it off. She was really really excited when the doctor told her that her time with the brace was over and she's super happy to have it gone.
If you're worried about what other people will think because of you having or not having the brace...well, I think a lot of kids get it that there's a reason for the brace and it doesn't mean you're stupid or abnormal. Sure, not everyone's going to know what all you go through with the scolioses, but that can be explained.
Personally I think that it'll be great when you're free of the back brace - my friend always hated how movement-restricting it was.
Hope this kind of answered your question :)

Ok well i had just been dumped by my boyfriend of about 5 1/2 months.. and well i think i already like someone... is that bad... cause at the ending of our relationship... things weren't really ne thing... and this kid is really nice to me.. and he seems like he is flirting with me.. but he is a year older than me.. but is it bad that i like someone already?? ahh i'm so confused! what should i do?? (link)

Hey, don't worry about it. A lot of people break up in the first place because one of them likes someone else before the break-up even happens.
From what you say the relationship you had with your boyfriend wasn't really anything serious, especially when he ended it. It's perfectly natural to like someone else soon afterwards, and plus, it's not like you were married to your boyfriend or anything so you don't need like a mourning time or anything.
Basically don't worry about it.

Well u may all remember me from "I dont know what to do with my life" but here I am again. I feel as though I am hanging by a thread now. I've never felt this bad in all my life.I have horrible thoughts of walking in front of cars, thinking this will only hurt for a second, if I dont die, at worst Ill end up in hospital and be taken care of for a lil while (I know what u must be thinking). I can cut myself and think, just how deep is too deep. I do it where no one can see-but my boss knows me too well and she knows whats going on. These horrible thoughts take up much of my waking hours when I'm not at work. I wouldnt exactly say i like these thoughts...i would say that i deserve it, i desrve the pain. Whats wrong with me? I need help before I go too far. (link)

I'm not a psychologist, but it sounds like you're despressed. Having no idea what the options for you are, I'm going to suggest that you get help from the school psychologist, a trusted teacher or adult friend.
Write down your thoughts, why think you feel the way you do, what you've done to "deserve" any of this that you're feeling. Maybe your boss, who sounds like she gets what's going on, would be a good person to talk to.
Suicidal thoughts are, as you've found out, aren't fun or safe. Please, if you think it's possible, talk to your parents, a trusted teacher, a boss, get to a psychologist. You'd be surprised how much just talking to someone can help.
Also, one thing that got me through a similar time was this: I have a passion and I kept thinking, "If I die, I won't be able to keep doing what I love."
Hope you feel better!

I've gotten all of my Christmas shopping done, except for one person: my mom. I have no idea what to get her! The problem is she doesn't want anything, and what she does want she buys herself. Could I have some ideas please? Maybe some gifts you got for your own mother? Thanks! (link)

Bath & Body Works is a really good option (good thinking to whomever mentioned it already).
Also you could try a more crafty thing - the blankets or pillows that are two pieces of fleece tied together are great simple projects. Handmade ornaments are usually a hit with parents as well, no matter how old you are. When I was younger I always did "household coupon books" where I made about 12 (give or take about 4) coupons that were good for things like emptying the dishwasher, folding laundry, cleaning bathrooms, raking leaves in spring or fall, shovling the driveway etc.
A mother-child day has positive options as well, go shopping and to lunch or something, if you're both outdoorsy people maybe have a sledding/skiiing/skating/snowboarding (whichever you both prefer) day.
If you know how to cook breakfast foods breakfast in bed is an option. So's baking cookies or other sweets when she's not home and giving them to her.
CDs of favorite songs of hers that you burn, or her favorite singer/band could work, so could books. Barns & Noble or Borders are good parental gift ideas.
Hope this gave you a couple possibilities!

hey my friend is 4'9 and she only weighs 85 pounds she eats alot and everything but she wont gain weight. this is a really big problem for her and shes been really sad about it. what are some HEALTHY ways 4 her to gain weight.
tnakyou
p.s dont say to pig out (link)
|
My guess is that your friend won't gain a lot of weight by eating - some people are just like that. Working out and gaining muscle will help her to gain weight, and, muscle weighs more than fat.
Before she dives into serious working out though, checking with her doctor or a nutritionist wouldn't hurt at all. They can help her devise a plan that combines working out to build muscle with eating foods that will sustain her though her workout and help to develope the muscles.
Good luck to her!

Ok, I wasn't sure where to put this but here I go.
The last few weeks, just under my eye.. like in the corner next to my nose it has been twitching.
It's driving me CRAZY. It doesn't twitch when I put my finger on it so i've been walking around with my finger on my face most of the day.
The girl that I work with said it was to do with tiredness.. but i'm not sure!
Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of it, i'm sick of it!
18/f if that helps at all...
Thanks in advance! (link)
|
Yeah, it happens. I find that it happens to me when I'm tired most often so my best advice is to get some sleep. And yes, the finger on the eye does help to make it stop - I think it has to do with the pressure that you're putting on it. Dont' worry about it, it should go away within 24-48 hours but dont' be surprised or worried if it comes back every now at then.
I wish I had a more medical answer, but I don't.

so, i have this geometry homework thingy... and you have to write what property you use for each step... the question is 5(x - 1) = 4x + 13.... and so the properties i used are distrobution, subtraction and addition.. but i don't know if it's right or not... i got the answer 18... so if any one could i help i would really appriciate it... thanx (link)
|
Hey, just a tip for figuring out if your answer is right:
when it's an equation where you're solving for variables, plug the answers you get for each variable back into the equation. So like in this case it would look like:
5(18-1) = 4(18) + 13
And then if the two sides equal the same thing, you've got the right answer! :D Just a tip for later.

OK so flat out- heres the facts-
- my boyfriend and i have been dating for a little over a year
- hes cheated on me before (finger) a girl at a party when drunk
- he tells me he loves me
- he says he wants to marry me
im not sure if i want to be with him for THE REST OF MY LIFE THOUGH.. i told him that eventually im probably going to want to see other people just so I can know that he is the right person for me.. he flipped out and got all upset. is this wrong of me ? im only 16!! (link)
|
Ok so...girl, I've been there too, a bf who says all those things when you're both still teens. It's not wrong of you to thin that you'll want to see other people to find out for sure if he's right for you, that's what dating IS.
He can be as upset and freak as much as he wants to but if you want to see other people, then he's going to have to find a way to deal with it if you break up with him. That may sound harsh, but my ex is STILL not over our breakup that happened about 4 months ago.
From experience, my guess is that your bf may be rather insecure with himself and is afraid that no other girls will want to date him if you leave and that's why he doesn't like the idea of you thinking that seeing other people would be good.
My advice is to get out when you feel the time is right. I'm guessing that you don't want to hurt the guy but the truth is that no matter what, he's going to be hurt if you dump him. Just make sure that you're sure of what you want to do before you do it.
Good luck

I am like the only person that doesn't have a boyfriend. And I have never actually had a kiss i mean i just turned 14 but it is so embarrassing. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! (link)
|
Trust me, you're not "the only" person who's never had a boyfriend. I didn't have on 'til I was 16 (not because of my parents or anything, I just didn't want one). I have friends who still haven't had one and are 18 and older. It's not a big deal really, and you have no reason to be embarrassed about it. There're some guys out there who would rather not date people who've had boyfriends since they were 13 and 14 years old.
if people say things that make you feel embarrassed about never being kissed or having a boyfriend, tell them you're waiting for the right guy to have a first relationship with to come along.
:)

ok basically i'm 14 years old and i've never had a boyfriend. never had a guy asked me out. never been kissed at all. and it's really pathetic... its not that im ugly or fat or have no friends or i'm mean, or anything. guys just never seem to like me. a lot of my more unattractive friends seem to get boyfriends, and my personality is just as good, i'm just as outgoing, i'm just as ANYTHING. and i feel like the world's biggest loser. is 14 really old for someone whos never been kissed/had a boyfriend????? tell the truth! (link)
| |
No way. I was 16 before I even had a boyfriend at all, I know people in college who still haven't been kissed. It's not a big deal, the only reason it seems like one is because somehow it got to be "normal" for people to be dating when they're fairly young. It's no big deal.

I need to know some web adresses I can go to to get some pagan rituals and spells from. I'm studying neopaganism (specifically wicca), and I want to know of some educational sites that also provide experiments and spellwork I can try. Thanks in advance!

I'm going to see an adolescent psychiatrist for the first time in about a week and I was wondering what I should expect. I'm going for depression and self-injury, if that makes a difference. I just wondering what I cn epect when I go there. Thanks so much. I'll rate high.
(link)
| |
Basically you can expect them to ask questions that will help them to understand why you're committing self-injury and how long it's been going on, what's happened during that time...and they'll ask stuff that's going to make you think, trust me. Been there, done that. Once they find something that's a serious contributor to the depression and self-injury, then they'll probably get into questions about your past and things that could built up or trigged the depression, they'll ask about if you have a family history of depression etc...just questions that will help then be able to help you. And don't expect them to suggest medication right away, they'll probably want to take time to know you a little better and try to help you without meds if possible.

I am writing this letter to you because I don't know what to do. I am really scared that my use of Codeine is out of control. I feel pressured by my friends to be part of the drug scene. I see people in the media using drugs for pleasure. When I'm high on drugs, I forget all my problems and school is unimportant. I've dropped out of sports and I do whatever I can to get money for my drugs.
(This isn't actually me, it's posted for a friend.)
Thanks,
Skentelbery (link)

Peer pressure isn't fun at all, we all know it. But, there has to be someone in your life that isn't pressuring you...or at least I hope so. Talk to this person, get them to back you up on your wish to get out of the drug scene.
Not that you don't probably know this already, but taking codeine the way you're talking is dangerous and can be deadly. It's a drug no matter what and if addiction is the case, TELL SOMEONE. Anyone addicted is in danger and in need of help.
I know drugs make you forget your issues, but those issues aren't going to decide to just go bother someone else; you need to make them go away, or at least come to terms/solutions to them. Drugs aren't the solution because you come down from the high and the problems are still there, so you take more drugs and it's a nasty cycle.
My best answer is get help, either the person who posted this needs to help your friend, or the friend needs to help themselves.

Is there a place I can put up stories and poetry I write for feedback that doesn't fit into a specific genre?
Like, fanfiction.net stopped allowing people to post fanfiction there that wasn't based on something (like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or whatever).
Thanks! (link)

Does anyone know a song that is fast paced, good, and is like inspirational about either miracles or helping others? I need one thats not about love... (link)
|
Personally I think you could take this as either a love song or a song about being there for someone during hard times. Unfortunately this is the only one I can think of that's upbeat...
anyway you could try "Miracles Happen" by Myra
Sorry I don't have more options...

I am 14 yrs. old, 5ft 3in, and 140lbs. I am soooo fat. I used to weigh more and lost a little weight which got me to where I am today but I am still extremly fat!!!! For some reason I can't lose any more weight, why can't I lose any more weight? This is so aggrivating! Please help. Thanks (link)
|
I'm not going to try to tell you that you're fat or not because I know that doesn't do much good. I'm just going to give a couple suggestions to help you do what you want in a healthy way.
Eating healthy and getting a fair amount of activity and enough sleep and avoiding stress can all help.
However, ask yourself something: are you FAT or do you have a lot of muscle? If you're got a lot of muscle, you're definitly not fat, the muscle just gives that appearance. And, (I know you probably won't like hearing this, sorry about that) if what you want to lose is muscle, I don't think there's a good way to do that, not one that's healthy.
If you find that it's not muscle you want to lose, then plan to start eating somewhat smaller portions of healthy food, choose dried fruit over chips for snacks etc, but don't starve yourself. Getting enough sleep and avoiding stress are huge helpers, the more stressed you are, your body actually retains weight, and if you're sleep-deprived, the same thing happens. I know, school leaves a lot of stress, but if you can find a physical activity that relaxes you, that can be your "de-stresser" and you'll be getting rid of some of the stress and getting activity at the same time.
:) good luck

Okay, my knee is terribly, terribly swollen. =( There aren't any (bone) structual problems, since I can walk. This just happened within the past 24 hours, so I will be watching it closely over the next few days.
What I need to know is:
1) Bathtime: hot water or cold water?
2) If showering it not the purpose, should I even bother soaking it? Would soaking it even be of any help?
3) Should I ice it, or is that a waste of time?
4) Keep it elevated, right? If so, how high does it must be? (link)
|
I'm not sure about the water temp making a difference since even in the bath you should keep it elevated if possible.
Yes, ice it. It'll make the swelling go down a little at least. After you've iced it for about a day (with breaks of course) then start alternating heat and ice at intervals of about 20-30 min with 20 min breaks in between.
Elevation should be above or near the height of your heart. If you're laying down, that'll be a lot easier to do. However, if you're sitting up, just stick a large mound of pillows under your lower leg to hold it up. If you find that height uncomfortable, lower it. Exact height isn't important, but keeping some elevation to it and staying off it is.
Hope you feel better :)
