advice

ok I like this guy at school lets call him mark I really like him alot hes more of one of the preps and im not exactly a prep but im not a total geek im just not a crowd person i have friends and everything im normal but he kinda gives signels to me in this one class i have like talking to me alot and also like makes me laugh and smiles at me are they signals or his he nbeing friendly i flirt but i dont know if he is but the last day of school is aproching but i dont know if I have a chance!!! help

Oh goodness, hun. I was in the exact situation you were in.

I'm labeled as the emo/punk girl. And all of a sudden I begin to like a total PREP! It was so weird. I had so many chances to talk to him this one weekend, but I was too shy and decided not to. We flirted a lot with each other before.
After I didn't talk to him, I found out he liked me, but it was already to late. The next week I found out he got a girlfriend that next week, and I didn't make a move when I should have.

Please! Do not hesitate! Go for it.

ok, so here's the story:I'm a guy, and I have a twin sister. We are like totally close, like, closer than most siblings ever are. But I just found out a few days ago that she went out with this really not-so-good guy like a year ago(and by not-so-good i mean does not know how to treat a girl. AT ALL). I also just found out that this guy wants to go out with her again. I told her that I don't like him and that she shouldn't go out with him, but she's just so stubborn and rebelious sometimes! But seriously, this guy is not the best guy for her. He drinks, he smokes, he kicks GIRLS, and my sister has totally fallen for him. AGAIN. I don't know how they broke up last time, but I'm determined to stop this before it starts up again. Please Help!

Well, start off by telling her that you do indeed respect her decisions. Tell her that you want the best for her in everything, and that you don't want anything to ever happen to her.
Ask her why she likes this guy. Think about the points she brings up. Think about your contradictions and then tell her what you think. Again, remind her that you want the best for her and that you care about her alot.
Tell her that you don't think that this guy is right for her and that she should be open for a really great guy to come around.

I hope I helped, and est of luck to ya!

can you elaborate on the egyption theme? Also is can't be uber expensive since my parents already paid for a bat mitzvah a while ago..thanks.

Well. You can always get some cheap gold fabrics and JoAnne's, or stuff like HobbyLobby. Also, you could go to a costume store like Party City, where they sell costumes for $20 or so.
Looks up how Egyptians wore eye make-up and copy it with your eyeliner. Get a yellow or gold colored cake.
You can play whatever music you'd like, just have your guests dress up as egyptians. You make creative head pieces with the most simple things.

^^ The lady in the middle of this picture has the normal wear for Egyptian royalty.

Egyptian men wore eye make-up as well, so you could try to get the boys to be daring enough to wear some.

I want to have a sweet sixteen. I cant have anything big, but i still want a party. What are some good themes? Elaborate please. Btw, my birthday is in novemember.

Well, I've been to alot of parties that had themes & these were my favorite.

1. 80's theme. Nothing is more fun than some retro hair-do's and good music.

2. 50's theme. Poodle skirts and pearl necklaces were always fun. It took the guys a while to swing dance with the girls, but after a while it was alot of fun.

3. Greek Theme.

4. Egyptian Theme.


I hope I helped =)

hey you said you have acne. In your picture i only see one lil tiny zit.

your face seems pretty clear what do you use?

i use proactive. i'm not very consistant though. it works very well.

[view]


now be honest when you see a person with acne or just some pimples maybe just a break out ... what do you think of them? do they seem ugly to you? would you talk to them even? become their friend? or are you grossed out and do you judge them right away, even if they are really pretty but have acne?

Actually, I have acne. But, people never notice it until I bring it up. It doesn't really make that big of a difference in my oppinion.

i have to get a sports physical wat would i normally expect?

For girls it is no problem. They just check your pulse, metabolic rate, nothing to worry about.

guys, however, they get there "pride & joy" squeezed, and if you cough your healthy, I believe. I'm a girl, I wouldn't know for sure. It's nothing bad though.

hope I helped

me and my best friend have been bestfriends for a couple years now but sometimes i feel like were growing apart and next year im goin 2 high school but my high schoold wierd its b-r bridgewater-raynham 2 high schools combined and sometimes i think maybe i should just get a new best friend but idk we used 2 have fun a couple years ago wat should i do!!!!

My friend "Julie" and I used to be so close. Well, after the fourth year of our "bestfriendship" we grew apart. Getting older makes people grow apart. It's a way of life. But luckily, after I stopped spending all my time with her I got to meet a lot more people! But we are still good friends.

What I say is just go with the flow.

My mom won't let me talk to boys on the phone. Whenever my cellphone rings, shes like "Who is it??!?!?" When I actually tell her she rolls her eyes and then asks my 20 questions about the person I'm talking to.

I know like trying to "protect" me, but I have to pretty much "hide" in my room when I talk on the phone.

Help?

My mom does the same thing. It took her a while to finally let me tlalk to guys on the phone. Seriously, when my cell rings she runs and answers it.
Moms will always be like that. You just got to tell her, "Mom, they are just friends." or something like that.

i have a girlfriend and we have done smooches and physical contacts. but she isnt ready to do sex. tell me what shud i do to make her do so with me??????

If she isn't ready, she isn't ready. Girls respect guys who wait. When she is ready, she will want to have sex. Wait for her! Have respect! Girls

What do you say when asked if Santa has children?

I, personally, think that you should not lie to your children about Santa Claus.

[view]

people I need help. Im not a parent but I'm writing a project and I need to make it funny, so what are some weird ways of punishing your children when they've done something really bad, like smoke pot, or something?? And it has to be strict.

Got any ideas?
Thank you.

The parent uses the child's car and makes the child pay for gas.

Today at school my mates were saying that I look like Nanny McPhee! I do have a big nose & bushy eyebrows but I try not to care about looks at all, whereas looks are the most important thing in my mates lives.. it's not just my mates who think I look hideous, they printed a pic of Nanny McPhee & kept asking teachers if I looked like her, and they all said, "well I'm not trying to be mean.. but yeah, she does". Now I feel terrible, I have no confidence whatsoever as it is, I have huge problems with talking to people and stuff.. Anyway, how can I make myself not hideous and revolting? Thanks :\

They aren't friends then. Simple waxing or plucking will take care of your eyebrows, and a big nose is just something you are born with. Confront the people who did this to you and tell them that it wasnt nice.

Also, and little eyeliner and bronzer always do the trick ;)

hope I helped.

okk. do you think its wrong if my boy friend goes on a date with me but we meet up with a bunch of my guy friends that he isnt friends with them.

Well ask him about it. Get his opinions about it. If he trusts you, he will probably have no problem with it.

I'm seeing a counselor on Friday. I'm not used to being open with other people, or strangers. What should I do to make it easier for me to talk about what is on my mind and my feelings. I don't want it to be a waste of time because I have half an hour. Thanks in advance.

Always know that they are there to help, not to make fun of you. Talking to someone who knows how to deal with things will help you feel better with whatever you are going through!

What is the best way not to let your period from leaking during ball? I don't wear tampons.. I useally wear the underarmor shorts underneath my shorts to prevent it but it makes me run like a chicken..lol.. what should i do? we wear a light color shorts btw

Well. One thing is to wear "hipsters" or "boyshorts", kinds of underwear. They catch it, if you know what I mean. What I do is I wear one pad, then wear one that kind of goes up along the back so if you are ever in a position that would make you leak a certain way, the other pad will catch it.

1. I am a Christian and I always fall asleep when I pray which means I never finish my prayer. I did it for like a month now? How can I prevent this.

If I am very tired, but need to pray, I will stand up to prevent me from falling asleep.
Kneeling, or even just sitting up in bed will help.

Can you be forgiven for being gay? Is it really a sin? What if you just want to try it and see what happens are you going to be penalized for that? Can someone help me asap.. these questions are for a friend who really needs it

In the Bible, it says that men should love women, and women should love men.
It's a sin. But, you can be forgiven if your repentance is sincere.
