I guess you could say I love giving advice -
I'm an older sister, a tutor and a psych freak to boot! I always try to be honest and sincere. My school motto was "do unto others as you wish them to do unto you" and I really take that to heart. Any questions I'm capable of answering (love, relationships, general problems, cultural stuff about Thailand, bicultural issues, etc.), I will answer.

What's a good recipe to use to cook my mom (that won't take a lot of time or a lot of cutting up) breakfast or dinner on Mother's Day? (link)

Something simple and nice can always be done with a jar of commercial spaghetti sauce and some pasta. Instead of just making it the traditional way, cook the pasta (any kind is okay, but I like bowtie pasta), layer it on the bottom of a microwavable tray or pan, pour the spaghetti sauce on top and crumble some mozarrella cheese on top of that, sprinkle some parmesan and microwave until the cheese melts. Voila! Simple casserole that tastes great! For variation, you can add some precooked meats to the sauce (like pastrami). Or you can cut the pastrami into little hearts and use to decorate.

Well, I'm Thai, so the recipes I have haven't come off of Google. In Thailand, we do a lot of stuff with chicken stir-fry, according to what ever we have on hand. I'm not sure exactly what you want, so I'll just give you a list of some things we put together for chicken stir-fry.
1) Broccoli, oyster sauce and chicken
2) Mushrooms (any kind, but shitake are nice), oyster sauce and chicken
3) Any kind of sturdy vegetable (carrots are nice), chicken and chili powder dissolved in a mix with garlic and some fish sauce
Write if you want more or anything more specific.

I have a problem. With my jansport backpack, I have 7 folders and notebooks, and I cant seem to fit all of them. The backpack is pretty good sized, but I mean, I can only fit my binder (medium sized),7 folders, and like, 3 100 pg notebooks. What should I do? I mean, dont just tell me to try to fit everything in there and then try to zip it. Believe me, I tried that. So..what should I do? Is there anything I can do?? (link)

Do you need to take every single thing to school every single day? This used to happen to me in high school as well and later at university (because I didn't have a locker). I didn't see anything wrong with it until I started to get backaches. And not just little pains - sharp shooting pains from my shoulder blades down to the small of my back. I finally realized it was either "lighten up" or pay the consequences. I have a Jansport too, which I love and it's roomy, I agree, but it was never meant to tote around your entire course! So, here are some tips that I've used myself:
1)Essentials that should *always* be kept in your backpack: your pencil case and an extra pad of paper just in case. Leave these in there and think of them as "given weight". Other things you might consider according to your needs: your cellphone, your wallet, and a packet of tissues (you never know).
2) Lay out exactly what is needed for that particular school day - textbooks, the notebook for that day's classes and the folders that hold that day's assignments. Put everything else aside in a safe place. If you're scared you'll forget something, write yourself a note and tape it somewhere you're sure to look at every morning before school.
3) Prioritize. If certain classes give out less work than others, the assignments from that class can share a folder with another class. For instance, if your "X" class only gives out handouts once every two weeks, you can get a divider and keep those with the stuff from class "Y". This will save some space.
4) Ever consider ditching notebooks altogether? What I do is take one pad of paper (maybe 2, as per your need) and I write the name of the class in one corner on the first sheet of the notes I take for that class. When I'm done, I clip them together and place them in my folder for that class. You could punch holes and put them in a binder, that could be divided according to classes. If you're scared you'll get mixed up, you can color-code or symbol-code your notes e.g. use a pink highlighter to mark every page of notes for one class or draw a smiley face on the bottom of every page of notes for another. This will most definitely cut down on space and weight, because you don't have to lug around heavy notebooks - just the pad of paper.
5)I cannot stress enough the importance of housekeeping. Recycle anything you are DEFINITELY sure you don't need - notes from before midterms, old handouts, assignments that no longer need to be kept. If you're unsure, take out stuff you're not sure about and put them altogether in a folder marked "?" and put this somewhere safe. So if your teacher asks for an old assignment from March, you can go back, route it out and hand it in, without having to lug it around with you.
Hope some of these tips work. And remember, try to limit the weight you carry around - that's key. Good luck!

How about the meanest girl in "Mean Girls"? Can't remember her name, but it would be fabolous!

OK...
My friend has been seeing her boyfriend for just over a month now. For two weeks they didn't even hold hands, they were so shy, but all of a sudden they kissed in the cinema and suddenly they are 'so in love' and on the same day as they kissed, they went to third base.
Last week, they had sex (in the WOODS!) and my friend is pretty sure she is pregnant. However, she is sayign she is 'bored' of her boyfriend and wants to 'move on'. I'm sorry but this is so stupid!! You don't sleep with someone you're 'bored' of and never really liked in the first place!!
She also wants an abortion.
First of all, I am angry at her for the whole 'oh I'm bored with you let's shag!' thing. I am also REALLY angry with her about the abortion because I am really against abortion in about 90% of cases, this one included. She wants to kill her own baby because she thinks she'll get 'bored' with it too, and because she made a mistake. She is 'making up' for that mistake with murder.
Now, I'm her friend and I am SUPPOSED to stand by her whatever, but this puts me in a HUGE dilemma because I do not agree with what she's done and what she is planning to do (split up with her boyfriend, have an abortion, not ever tell him she got pregnant). I'm really really angry at her right now and I can't talk to her, but I know she really needs my support at a time like this. How can I push my anger aside, how can I ignore my own stance on abortion and help her?
I need to stand by her...she needs all the love and support she can get, even though she doesn't deserve it. I was very tempted to slap her and run off when I found out but I realised that it's not my place to forgive or condone or accept or hate what she is doing, just to be there for her.
Please help...how can I get over my anger and resentment at what she is doing and be there for her? And don't just say 'talk to her' - if you have to, help me out on what to say!
Thanks for any help and sorry for the length. (link)

First of all, be assured that you have a right to your anger. Mind, I'm supporting or going against you - I just want you to know, you have a right to your opinion. Secondly, I want to applaud you for being mature and decent enough to understand that your anger is not you. As for your problem, I would say - don't push your anger and resentment away. You're entitled to them, and you can discuss them, debate them, argue them etc. with your friend - LATER. Like you said, right now, she needs your love and support. (Notice I didn't include "understanding" in that list. You don't have to understand her - you just have to accept that she's done what she's done, for her own reasons.) If you love her, you'll stick by her, despite any personal resentments, (the key words are LOVE and FRIENDSHIP) but I suggest that after the ordeal is over, you two have a nice long talk. You'll need it. I wish you luck.

is hitch-hiking illeagle?

Probably not illegal, but it's dangerous. It's probably better to walk or take public transportation.

I'm 14/f and I know I should be reading advanced books because I'm in 11th grade Honors english even though I'm a freshman. And, generally, I do. But a lot of the time I like to read books that are, well, sappy romance novels. Like the book version of soap operas. Big time guilty pleasure!!! I feel so guuuuuuuilty about it. It's like cheap candy, tasty to eat only not very nourishing, but it's a book. And since my family is big on reading "advanced literature" and my mom would freak out if she knew I was reading them, and I don't know whether it's ok for a person of my level of reading to be reading these!? I know it sounds like I'm being a snobby bitch that needs to be reassured of her own level but I'm not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot!!!!!

Here's a confession: I love romance novels too, and I have *never* be in anything less than advanced English. Seriously, aside from your concern with your parental units, there is nothing wrong with readin "trashy" novels. Why do they think they even exist? There are tons of people like you out there. The key word here is: balance. Remember that classics and "advanced literature" are labeled that way for a reason - they're actually good! Give them a try. And maybe try talking to your parents about your habit. But most importantly, stop feeling guilty! It takes all kinds!
