Ok well my friends are gonna get drunk after our grad.

should i go or not?

it's no pressure, they really are my friends. they do drugs sometimes but i'm the baby of the group so thye don't force me or anything and they dont' do it when I'm around.

I never did drugs or drank before.

But i just want one night jsut to feel drunk, you know?

I don't know..it's 50-50 to me

Drinking is like playing Russian roulette. There is one bullet and you pull the trigger, if you're unlucky, you're screwed. However, unlike Russian Roulette, drinking has about 1000 bullet chambers instead of 6. The chances of something bad happening to you from drinking, especially in small quantities are very, very small. However, if the worst case scenario happens, which it rarely does, yet it does happen at times, you're screwed.

A lot of it also depends on the individual, some people are just really responsible and know how to handle themselves. those people will probably never get screwed over by drinking. if you do go drinking, I recommend just a few beers, enough to get tipsy and have fun, but not enough to get trashed.

Okay my mom has had the worst marriage with her husband. He has left her twice and they have only been married for four years. He's been gone more then he`s liver with her. He always finds women off the internet off them find a mate type things. && my mom will think everything is fine && he`ll up && leave. there is so much more that goes on at home when he`s here. when he lives her he basically lives off her because he can`t get a decent job basically because he doesn`t have a highschool diploma. he always calls me names && tries to put me and my brother and sister down. my mom is in such denial its not even funny she trusts him way to much he has stole alot of money from her and she still gives him her bank card. my mom is jus too nice.

so i want to know is there anyway i can see if hes been looking up women. i know our history is empty and i don`t understand the recycling bin thing. so if you can please help that would be great.

you have to get your mom to leave your dad. He's not father or husband material and she has to learn to get over him.

Your mom needs to find a guy who will love her and treat her with the respect she deserves

if you clench your muscles a lot will they get bigger and the fat around them start to disappear?

It actually works but you'd have to hold it for a long amount of the time.

The best time to do it is actually in the morning before you eat breakfast. Just flex your whole body for 2 minutes and you'll lose fat and get toned.

If I wanted to own my own business, such as a tanning salon (or something along those lines), I know I would go to school to major in business. But what would I minor in? If there's not anything specific, what would be a good idea FOR ME to minor in?

A sociology class could be important, but it actually all depends on how the college teaches it.

I would recommend economics or anything that involves dealing with people, such as sociology. Psychology could also be a good one if you want to learn how to manipulate people into buying into your business.

Please Help me!!!
ROMEO AND JULIET--

im in the process of writting an english essay i need 1 more paragragh.

it is how shakespere uses Either OXYMORON OR REPPTITION. I CAN CHHOSEE ONE OR BOTH FOR MY LAS PARAGHRGH.

but i need it to support my theies which is

"By, constantly using the light and dark symmetry comes to show that life has to be well balanced in order to work out."

if you have any suggestions BOUT ANYTHNG!!!!
any ideas for my theiss??
if u need me to be more clear PLEASE ASK!!
PLEASEEE

I don't know where in the play exactly, but look for juliet's soliloquy throughout the play. I can't remember the exact oxymorons she said but I am 100% sure there are tons of oxymorons in her speeches.

Repetition is used a lot in the play, you basically just have to read carefully to find it. In Shakespeare's time, repetition was used a lot because plays were performed in front of large audiences, and in order to prevent the audience from missing something important, Shakespeare had to repeat several important things throughout the play.

i got an assignment for english and one of the questions was this :

Why do people in the north of china eat noodles and dumplins instead of rice?

can someone supply me with some websites ASAP
as the assignment is due in two DAYSS!!!!!


HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!!


THANKS A BUNCH!

your teacher is an idiot for assigning this question.

I very well know that chinese people in the north, especially the northeasten part eat a lot of rice. In fact, the peasants living in the north have often nothing to eat except for rice.

Dumplings are actually rarely eaten by the farmers in china now. Living conditions in china have fallen a lot in the past 40 years and dumplings are pretty much only eaten during chinese new years.

once again, your teacher is an idiot.

im tryibf to lose weight please tell me what vegetables are the best to eat

I wouldn't recommend potatoe salad.

Celery actually causes your body to burn more calories by digesting it than the calories you get from it.

If you know how to answer this question you might wanna check "Voice = Attraction" because its the same type of question!

Anyways, I've heard that attraction depends a lot on smell. Is there any scientific research that have showed what type of smells are mostly appelaing to the opposite gender?

I've also heard that big pupils (The black in your eye haha) makes it easier for someone to like you. There are several articles about that.
And Im wondering if anyone here can find any websites that let you know all these little things poele dont think about that the opposite sex is attracted to subconsciously.. like smell, posture, big pupils, tone of voice and so on. It would really help me, and I'm not quite sure WHAT to google to find that (That is IF it exists haha) Thank you!

Yeah, it's been scientifically proven that your smell can help attract someone.

I don't know if female smells will attract males, but I do know that certain male smells attract females. It turns out that females are attracted to males who have different immune genes than they do and they can subconsciously detect this through smells. Humans also give off pheromones which attract the opposite sex. You can buy perfumes which has pheromones in them.

Also, dilated pupils sometimes does make a person look sexier.

I don't want to brag, I just want to tell the truth. I am thin for my age and height. Every morning, I wake up and go to the bathroom, and my stomach is really sucked in. I like it because I look skinny. Then I eat until it is pushed out to a certain point, then I won't eat for the rest of the day so that my stomach will go back down. I just drink tons of water that just flushes out of my body the next morning, and I eat little things like a box of raisins or a bag of kettle corn, which are only about 100 calories each, so they don't really do anything.

Is this unhealthy or is this normal? Everyone calls me skinny. Half of me says "You are skinny. Don't worry about eating", and the other half says "You are fat and ugly. Look at your stomach. You just ate 2 slices of pizza". I feel guilty after eating large portions.

So is this normal or not, and if it isn't, what advice do you have for me?

Thank you. I'm 17, 5'9", 115 pounds.

Ugh...For a girl of 17 you should be able to think for yourself...

You're on the way to an eating disorder. If these eating behaviors of yours started within the past 6 months, expect to be diagnosed with anorexia within the next 4 months. I'd say that once you get to around 105(just an estimate) you can get diagnosed with anorexia

Girls who suffer from eating disorders or are going to develop one soon don't think logically. I'm not trying to be an asshole here, I'm just stating the truth. So since you can't think logically, you don't realize that being 115 and 5 9 is severely underweight and those who call you fat are just making fun of you and your (lack of) eating habits.

It's not normal. I suggest you start eating healthier, try to get in at least 1500 calories day an exercise. Try doing cross country next year or track? Eating healthy and exercising will make you a lot happier than starving yourself and getting diagnosed with anorexia and hospitalized.

My mother is getting married in September and I really think it is a mistake. I think she is really forcing her fiance to marry her and he feels guilty about telling her he doesn't want to. She tells me that he really wants to, but I don't think he does. I have spoken to him many times and he doesn't act like he is very interested in the wedding or in being married. I know he cares for her, she had two major heart attacks and he was by her side for both - and she broke her ankle recently and he was there for her every day. He goes places with her, comes to family gatherings, etc, so I do not doubt that he loves her, it's just the commitment of marriage - he was married before, and his ex-wife left him for someone she met on the internet, so it was not a nice separation and my mother was married to my father for 20+ years and it was a horrid relationship. My father was abusive and a compulsive gambler & liar - so I think she is just looking for peace in her life. I don't want to deny her any love or happiness - but forcing someone to marry you is not right. Her fiancee is still caring for his aging mother and the mother lives in his house, which my mother will be moving into after they are married. My mother thinks that his mother is not going to live very long, and if she dies, they are selling his house and moving out to a adult community. Now, this is what she is telling me, I haven't heard his side of the story.

I would hope he would tell her if he did not want to go through with this, but like I said, he doesn't want to make her unhappy. She is very obsessed with moving into the house and the wedding. This will be the first house she will ever live in, she lived in apartments her whole married life, and her fiancee is putting her name on the mortgage, so she feels that she owns the house with him. Legally she does, but the house is still her fiancee's and his mother's because they were there before she was. Her fiancee is remodeling the kitchen and other parts of the house, for her I suppose, but I am wondering if she is making him do that? It really bothers me that I feel this way, but I cannot shake it and I am on the verge of telling her how I feel, but I am wondering if that will damage our relationship or even if that will make a difference in how she is acting towards all of this? I have told her before how I feel, in a round-about way - but not directly. My two sisters feel the same way, but their attitude is that she is a grown woman and can make decisions on her own, and that her fiancee should tell her if he is not happy, but I really think he just doesn't have the guts to do so. Does my mom really want this fake happiness for the rest of her life? Should I tell her how I really feel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I don't have very much(or good advice) but my thought on the situation is that your mom doens't truely love him. I think that her emotions for him stem from a selfish motive in her subconscious.

Her fiancee should sit down and talk to her about how he feels.

my calves are huggee, i hatee them.
what exercizes can i do to make them smaller.
pls, theyre gross.

whoever told you to squat and run sprints is wrong.

First see if your calf is muscle or fat. If it's fat, you can run it off. Just run 2 miles every other day.

If it's muscle, don't exercise for a very long time.

My boyfriend (19) is amazing. He has a good job and also goes to school. He basically takes care of his mom, since his salary is good. All of a sudden, he became broke. He owed people money and car bills added up but he still never let me pay on dates. He finally let me pay and now, I found myself paying alot. He used to be the perfect gentlemen and had money at all times. What should I do? He's already really insecure about his money problems.

I really hope this question isn't what I think it is.

It's the 21st century, it's supposed to be 50/50 when it comes to paying. If he paid for everything in the past, then you really shouldn't mind paying for things now.

hey im a guy,13, and im lanky for my age. i was wondering is there any way i can get bigger around my arms and legs. Im quite thin around my waist, legs, arms. the only part of me thats fine is my chest and shoulders. I play rugby so i need to get heavier. any ideas apart from eating shitloads of shit food?

Do a lot of power lifting.

4x5 or 4x8 repetitions of squats, power cleans, leg press, bench press, flies, rows.

Then drink a high calorie protein shake afterwards.

Make sure to get 2.5k + calories per day.

Avoid junk food and soda.

stay the hell away from energy drinks.

EDIT: If you don't have that equipment, go to you local highschool or gym. If you can't do that, do pushups, situps, and run up stairs. Also, try jumping up(not down) the stairs, several steps at a time.

So I took her lunch seat today not on purpose but my friend took my seat. Who gets mad over that?! So my friends like FLIPPING out at me. And she gets my other friend to get on her side! WTF! And She has been IMing me all day trying to argue its so stupid she doesn't realize how much shes overreacting. If only she could realize it. 2 Of my friends so far cant believe she's not over it yet. She called me a friend stealer and starts believing my frien who NEVER tells the truth and she's the one who told me herself that she never tells the truth. And now she's sticking up for her. And Its to the point where I've been crying my eyes out. I didnt tell her, since I've been acting like i dont care (thats what she would want, for me to care) and she just didn't let me explain ANYTHING. Shes a fucking asshole. Shes a bitch and she doesnt even know it probably. I dont know what to do she turned a friend against me already and probably has more of it coming. I'm crying my eyes out because If i could just explain stuff. And hwo the fuck does she think she can call me stupid?! She fucking says the fight was MY FAULT! Like I decided my friend would take my seat, like I decided i was going to sit there JUST to get her mad, like I freakin decided she was gonna flip out at me . She knows I dont have the best grades right now because my grandma died a few months ago and some of the work I never got to hand in brought my grades down. So she used it against me! She said (the one she turned against me) that "L" doesn't get bad grades and is really smart and never stretches the truth (But she does) And I'm Mad at my friend and "L" now.

What do I do I am so upset! I dont know what to do at all pleasehelp

your friend is a bitch. She doesn't deserve your friendship, and bringing friends with people like her will only harm you. Steal her lunch seat and tell her to fuck off. If she keeps on complaining, just ignore her.

I just found out ym 14 year old cousin has a tumor. they think it is on the brain stem but aren't 100% sure, because the doctor said she has not seen a tumore like this before. they started radiation today and he has to do it for 33 days (not including the weekends) and they don't now how affective it will be. one doctor told him, if the radiation didn't work they would try chemo therapy and if chemo didn't work, then he has the possibility of dying in a year. everyone in my family has hope in god that he will overcome this but my question is, how quickly does the tumor shrink in the case of radiation? could any herbal medications help?

I'm not a doctor but I'm pretty sure the tumor isn't on the brain stem. If it were, radiation/chemo therapy should probably kill him instantly so the doctors wouldn't even recommend it.

All I can say is that you pray for him, be there when he needs it. I don't know of any herbal medications that help fight cancer, but if by herbal medication, you mean "herbal" medication, all I can say is that it will help him relieve the pain. It shouldn't hurt, unless if he has lung/throat/neck/or head cancer.

how did they start and wtf did they accomplish???

i really wanna no!!!
so random...lol

I'll explain this in layman's terms.

The Catholics during the middle ages were like

"dude, lets go recapture the holy land(Jerusalem) from the infidels(muslims and jews)"

So they started to build up an army to send over there. Because the church was corrupt and stupid, they said to the average person.

"dude, if you join the crusades and kill a bunch of infidels(muslims and jews) in the name of God, God will forgive you of your sins and you will automatically go to heaven when you die"

So the christians created a big ass army, went to jerusalem, and kicked some ass. Then they got their asses kicked so they sent more people, then they got their asses kicked again...

The crusades accomplished nothing, just a bunch of dead muslims, jews, and christians...

Hm, I know that I'm not bulimic. But do I have EDNOS? I was reading info. off of google today and there wasn't too much of a help. I hate my body and I'm so self consious it makes me miserable. I will eat dinner or a normal amount of food, not binge, and I'll purge. I feel so much better after I do it. I'll go through periods where I won't do it for weeks, and sometimes I do it multiple times a week. What is wrong with me? (I started doin this over a yr ago)

ED-NOS is eating disorder not otherwise specified. It's basically a category where they put all other eating disorders because they can't categorize all of them. If you really aren't bulimic, and you do have harmful/odd eating habits, yes you do have EDNOS.
