Hey! I'm Tiffany. I'm a 15 year old female. I absolutely love God and Jesus, my savior. I love music. In fact, I love to sing. That's why I'm a proud member of choir, and some would consider me a choir nerd. Actually, I consider myself a choir nerd. I love playing with animals, especially my cute little gerbil Sparky (also known as Sparkito, Spark, Sparks, and many more). I try to give my best advice! :)

Is there a way you can see all your ratings that people have made on your column, not just the ones that have left feedback? I would like to know what my other ratings were - even though they didnt leave feedback, is this possible?

thanx! (link)

Ok this is a really weird question...but for the past few days...i have had these spots on my tonuge..not like bubbles or anything...just little spots like missing or something. and they burn when most things touch them. I was sick for a few weeks and i drank a lot of hot drinks to make my throat feel better and i dont know if that would have anything to do with it...but does anyone have any idea what they are or wht i could do?? thanks (link)
It could have to do with drinking very hot drinks. Normally that happens to me if I chew too much gum or eat too many sour things.

You just pretty much have to wait for them to go away.

I don't believe in myself..I have very low self esteem..I feel horrible about myself most of the time..How can I boost my confidence..It's not as easy as it sounds..I don't know what to do..I have no friends and my parents (esp. my mom) tells me I'm useless and ugly) I get made fun of all the time..no wonder my self esteem is so low..How can I boost my confidence..All I want to do is feel superior just once..please help (link)
Find something that you love to do, and practice at it. Whether it's a sport, acting, whatever. Practice makes perfect and as you get better, know that you are better. It will help with your self confidence.


Ok my teeth weren't that screwed but I got braces anyway for a cosmetic reason..anyway, I only get them on for 5 months..it's been 2 months and I don't notice any difference..is this normal or is it just a waste of time..please tell me when I should notice a difference! (link)
It depends, if they looked ok to begin with, I doubt you'll see too much of a difference.

i would really like to be more healthy. you know, toned muscles, eat healthy foods, etc. the thing is, i know exactly how to do it, what foods to eat, what to avoid, great exercises, etc. the only problem is i can NEVER be motivated enough to stick to a healthy lifestyle. reading through all this health advice really gets me excited about being healthier and such, but then when i actually go try it, i am never motivated enough to follow through! any tips? (link)
Try finding foods to eat at mypyramid.gov

Just get motivated....you'll be more healthy, you'll look and feel better and more confident.

Good Luck!


well today is my bf's birthday so we are going to lunch at a nice (in other words, expensive) resturant with another couple. i invited him, so does that mean i have to pay for him? its a pretty expensive place and im 14 and he's turning 15. thanks! (link)
Well, it is HIS birthday. I don't think he'd want to pay....


whats with all the questions about 14 year olds smoking and drinking. its illegal no matter HOW they do it whether they get caught or not. am i totally out of my mind or are some people just asking too much of the columnists? (link)
I agree, alot of the questions we see are here are just crazy.

i really dont like meat..i mean just the taste of it..does anybody know a list of foods that i could eat that have protein in them! thanks a bunch! i rate!! (link)

They have a list of foods high in protein!

I heard a long time ago that different fruits mean different things. For instance, if you leave a squash on your girlfriend's front porch then that means you want to break up with her. The reason I am asking is because last night (very late) someone, possibly two people, ate watermelon on our porch and left the remains of the watermelon! What the crap does this mean? Does it mean anything at all? There are two peices that were cut in triangles. This is freaking weird. (link)
I don't think it means anything, I tried looking it up and nothing came up.

Sorry,

i got this weird virus on my computer through AIM..i did a virusscan on my comp. and it said there was nothing there but it still kept acting funny. so i restored my computer to an earlier date, will this get rid of it???? thanks, i rate 5's!! (link)
First, scan and see if you still have the virus. I got that same virus through AIM (specifically the games) and to get rid of it, unfortunately I had to format my computer.

Good LuCK,

My mom only allows me to go on the Internet 2 times a week for 2 hours! Its unfair! Just because I accidently poured cold water over my sister in the shower. I did it ACCIDENTLY and my mom wouldnt believe me. Its so slack. She says im living a computer life and that ive got the disease where youre like living in a computer and u loose reality, but i DONT. Im only 13 for god's sake. Why does she act like that? Why does she hate me so much? Please help!! (link)
Tell her that compared to most people, being on the computer for 4 hours a week is not obsessed.
I know people who are online way more than that!

Okay, so I'm bedridden for a while. I certainly don't enjoy readering, but I figure it will pass the time.. so I'm not just stuck laying there like a useless moron. I like those cheesy little romance plots and all that sensitive bologna, so if ANYONE can think of something I might enjoy, I would DEFINITELY appreciate your recommendation!!

Hmmm....well if you are a Christian, A Walk To Remember (by Nicholas Sparks) is a very good book. It's pretty much the only 'romantic' book I've ever read.

Edit--> Saw someone suggested Gone with the Wind and I just wanted to say that that is an amazing book, even though it's enourmous. It's by Margaret Mitchell and there is a sequel. It's called Scarlett and it's by Alexandra Ripley, and that one is amazing too!

ok i have liked this guy since maybe second grade. i still like him a lot. the thing is there's a dance and i asked him to it. and i was so happy when he said he would go with me if he goes to the dance! yeah for me right? wrong. my friends were like forcing him to him to actually say yes. well i felt really bad so i was planning to talk to him alone about it but i don't have the guts to go ask him to go talk with me for a minute or 2 because he's always around his best friend who i absoulutly hate. then i got the feeling he really doesnt want to go with me to the dance and wants go with someone else and not me. i am fine with that but i don't know how to tell him that. then just yesterday my friends from a different class went to his house and made him feel horrible. the thing is i dont know who it was and he wouldn't tell me who it was so i am totally lost right now. so i guess my questions are: how do i ask him if he doesnt want to go with me or not? dont say aim cause he only signs on past 9 oclock and thats when i have to shut my computer down. next is: should i ask him if he is really mad at my friends for making him say yes? also: how do i talk to him in person without his best friend? finally: how do i actually talk to him daily and normally? help me please! (link)
Well, I personally think you should call him. If that is not possible for whatever reason, you just need to confront him --- even if his friend is there. Tell him that you had no idea that your friends forced him, and that you don't want him to feel obligated to go with you. If he doesn't want to go with you just say, "I'd like to talk with you again sometime" and leave it at that.

Best of luck!

15/m ive been feeling really mean and nasty lately. it seems like i get upset over everything. one day, my friend even asked if we were still friends because she thought i wasnt being nice. im not sure what it could be. im taking my finals this week and its also the last chance ill get too see my friends until next year so maybe that could be it. please help. i hate being like this (link)
Take a deep breath. Calm down. Think about what you say and do before you say or do it. Make sure what you say won't hurt others and that you won't regret it later.

Good luck on your finals!

~*Tiffany*~


I gave this girl perfectly good advice and I got a one!! Why are people so rediuclous??? Can people please be reasonalble for once?? (link)
Yeah. I dislike those people. It's apparent when someone gives good advice from someone who doesn't :(

i have a blister on my toe (1st toe) and it hurts. is there any way possible i can make it so it won't hurt? (link)
Try putting a bandaid on it, and wearing open toe shoes. Just be careful.

I just overdosed. I do it all the time but this time I think I did to much. I keep passing out so I'm making this quick. No one would understands my problems so I can't tell anyone. I feel freezing I have no air conditioner though and I live in FL it's 90 degrees. Something's definatly wrong. What should I do?! (link)
Call 911 ASAP.


Sorry, I already asked this, but by accidenlty posted it under music instead of theatre:
I got choosen to be an extra in a FEATURE FILM! I was so excited about it, because I live in Connecticut, so I don't really have the oppurtunity to participate in real movies, until now. However I don't know what to do because the day I am called for to be an extra is this upcoming Saturday. On Sunday I am going to New Jersey for the day, for a family party. The Thursday of the next week finals in my school start, as well. No that I have all of this going on, my parents are telling me that they do not think it is a good idea for me to do this movie. The movie location is an hour drive from my house, and it films from 8 in the morning until around dinner time. I just don't know what to do, because my parents say that ultimatley it is my deceision, but they don't think it's right with finals coming up, & me not being home all weekend (plus i have drivers ed all this week). I really want to do this though, because I have never had the experience before, and I don't know if an opputunity like it will ever come again! WHAT SHOULD I DO??
By the way, my mom keeps telling me she has thought long & hard, and does not think it is a good idea, but it is still my choice. The way she says it makes me feel guilty, because I know she doesn't want me to, and I also feel bad because it is an hour away, which takes up her whole Saturday because she has to go there & back & there & back to pick me up. I just am so confused! Oh & I already told my friends about it, so I feel stupid telling them I am not (but that's not my main worry)..
(link)
I would say go for it! Just don't let it get in the way of studying for finals.

Right now, there is thunder and lightning outside and my dog is freaking out. He is a 2 year old Shih-tzu. I'm trying to calm him down by talking to him and cuddling him but he just keeps shaking and panting and crying. He is shaking so bad it's making this hard to type. Does anyone know of a good way to calm my dog down a bit more? I feel so bad that I can't do anything else for him. =( (link)
Aww,

well I would just be with him and take him to somewhere where he can't see the lighting and hopefully can't here the thunder. Make sure it's a well lighted place and give him a treat.

Can anyone please tell me where I can find a bamboo plant? Please say a specific store if you do know. Also, if anyone knows, does anyone know if you can like buy them as a seed anywhere? If so, where at? Thank you sooo much! I greatly appreciate it! (link)
Well, we have one and we found it at Dierbergs.
