For my textiles course in school, I'm doing a sketchbook full of samples, drawings, info etc. on 80's fashion. I've got a few things for it, but I don't know any icons or bands that were big in the 80's. So does anyone know of any person from the 80's that would be interesting to do a section about? Like, who was fashionable and shows what the 80's were about? And any other information about the 80's would be good :) (link)

Michael Jackson's moonwalk was big in the 80s. He actually came up with it in that year. If you would like to know more about the 80s, try looking on "google", or "ask". It should provide you with a lot of information.

Someone told me I needed to stop this eating disorder because it could kill me but I don't believe them. Then today someone else told me the say exact thing! Can being bulimic kill you or are these people just jealous cause I am a size zero while they are like size 2 or size 3 fat chicks? I think they are fatties who are hating on me. (link)
| |
Yes bulimia can kill you. There have been numerous female deaths due to bulimia. It's not healthy and I suggest you eat right instead of just barfing out what you eat. Fruits and vegetables can help you lose weight the healthier way. Also eating low carb foods can help. Being bulimic does not lead you anywhere but the emergency room so I suggest you eat right. If your bulimia worsens, go seek medical help right away.

Is there any way to find out who is calling from just a number? The same number texts me sometimes and now they're texting me like we know eachother, but I don't know who it is and they won't respond back. I have a big feeling it's an ex-boyfriend. It's really annoying and I just want their identity! Is there someway I can find out a name from a number? (link)
| |
Why don't you just save the number and then borrow another person's cellphone and call that anonymous number. That person wouldn't know it's you because you are using another number. Give it a try.

alright i really need your help...my friend was on and off with this guy for about 2 years.towards the end of their relationship she fell pregnant and decided to keep the baby. so once she gave birth to her baby boy the father visited the baby once in like 3 weeks.he doesnt have a job and isnt looking for one,he doesnt have a car to drive and has all these pending tickets from the police that he hasnt paid and cant afford to pay.all he does is drink and smoke dope.
anyway in the end after like a month of not seeing his son because he didnt have transport to get to her house they decided that once the baby was 6 weeks old (i think) she would take him to his father's place every sunday for aday.my friend soon regreted this because the father doesnt take care of the boy,he smokes around the baby and doesnt wash his hands after hes been smoking doesnt pay for baby's food and dipers etc like the mum doesnt think hes capable to be a good father figure for the son. she txted him today and told him that shes going to stop taking the baby to him( she didnt want her son growing up like his father) so now the father is txting her back saying that if he doesnt see the boy hes going to kill himself. the mum told me that he always talks like that when they argue(always says hell kill himself)just for attention. she asked me for advice and i told her to ignore the txt and not to txt back. she listen to me and didnt but then he txtd her again and said hes going to do it and wrote her a letter for her to read after hes killed himself.she txtd me and asked me what to do.i told her that if shes sure that she doesnt wnat her baby seeing the father then not to txt back because if she does the father will just try talk her into letin him see the baby etc. she put me in an awkward position and asked me if i was sure it was the right thing to do and i told her its what id do.now im just really scared he might kill himself.i dont want to get blammed for anything.what should i do?should she let him see the baby even though he doesnt have a job doesnt pay for anything because thats abit useless i rkon.what should i say to my friend??i dont wnat to be too late.would he actually kill himself??omg help!!!just anything tell me plz!!1 (link)

A problem like this should be settled in court when a baby is involved. That's the only right thing to do. This is a crazy situation and you guys should let the officials know about it for the safety of the baby. And for the father, he should go seek mental help. Smoking around the baby is totally uncalled for. The baby's life is on the line and the only people who can solve this problem is a professional.

i have a really bad phobia of brown recluse spiders. its getting to the point where i cant sleep at night, and im contstantly checking under chairs, under tables, on walls of smaller spaces, and on celings and corners of rooms when i walk in, and i always feel like somethings crawling on me. i feel like im going crazy, what can i do to get over this?? (link)
| |
You're just paranoid because your just thinking about your fears too much. In order to overcome your fears, you have to come face to face with it. It's actually natural to be afraid of spiders. Just think that your bigger than the spider. Motivation helps in the process. Another tip is to go see a psychologist.

When I was younger, I used to be of such unshakeable faith in myself. No matter how hard things got, or whatever befell me, I always kept trying.
I'm still trying, but I lost so much faith my ability to succeed. And I'm worried I'm becoming a jaded cynic.
How, besides actually really succeeding at something, can I regain my confidence and faith in myself? (link)

Get a fresh start when you wake up in the morning with positive thoughts. Everyday is a new day so it's your chance to start over. When you tell yourself everyday you can do it, you will accomplish something. Maybe you just got so use to being energetic that you began to lose passion in what you are doing. just motivate yourself more and think positive.

Just act normal like nothing's going on. If you over think things, it's not going to lead you anywhere but the wall. Just be yourself and act naturally around him.

ok so me and this guy dated last year 3 times. he dumped me the first 2 times for other girls but he would always lie to me and make up excuses. the last time we dated he had been begging to get me back for a while but i kept saying no. a few months later i decided to date him again because yes i loved him. after only 2 days he managed to screw up AGAIN! he was texting this other chick and long story short i found out about it. i asked him about it and told him not to lie to me. he told me he liked her but not as much as me. i said thats okay and thanked him for being honest. but he said he still dosn't know what to do. i was like well if you like me more then whats there to figure out? eventually i was just so fed up i dumped him before he could dump me. after that i found out that he was talking alot of crap about me. that was it i made it very clear (again)to NOT EVER text me and that i hate him. he is the only person i have every hated like that. this was a pretty long time ago but i still think about him every day. also i see him alot whenever i go places like football games, the movies, etc. i hate that my heart still skips a beat whenever i think about him and that i about melt whenever i see him but i cant help it. i miss him so much but i hate him at the same time. i try dating other people and forgetting all about him but at the end of the day he is the only guy im really thinking about.. what should i do? (link)

To tell you the truth, Love is only strong when the two of you have the same passionate feelings for each other. If only one person loves, then the relationship is just useless because one person is passionate while the other one is like "whatever." You will only get heart broken in the process if you go back to that relationship again. Just move on. There are a lot of fishes in the sea. You'll find the right person if you're patient.

I'm 21/f. I was having a fight with my boyfriend (23/m, not that it matters) the other night because he's convinced he needs to be medicated for depression - he has been before, but he isn't acting the way he did when he had to be medicated before. Out of curiosity, I looked up a checklist for ten depression symptoms just to see if I could identify the ones he's said he was feeling, and instead I identified 7/10 that I'M feeling.
* A persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood
* Sleeping too little or sleeping too much
* Reduced appetite and weight loss or increased appetite and weight gain
* Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
* Restlessness or irritability
* Persistent physical symptoms that don't respond to treatment
* Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
* Fatigue or loss of energy
* Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless
* Thoughts of death or suicide
1. I'm constantly anxious - I thought it was because I have a lot on my plate, but it never seems to go away.
2. I have serious sleep problems that no one can seem to fix - my anxiety interferes with my sleep, too. I've been taking ambien for awhile in hopes that I'll eventually retrain my body (I have almost perfect sleep habits), but every time I don't take it, I wake up every 45 minutes - 1 hour, feeling like I missed an exam, and having to calm myself back down.
3. I have absolutely no appetite lately. I used to be anorexic, but I got past that. I had trouble getting 2,000 calories a day, but I got by and I was eating every 3 hours, and all that. I'm normally adamant about eating the right things at the right time, but recently I just don't get hungry, and I always feel like crap. I can see that I've lost weight.
4. I got a guitar in July. I used to play it 5 or more hours a day, and go running every day, but I have no desire to do either of those things. I also define myself as a singer, and I have no desire to sing, or write, as I also used to do constantly.
5. I can't seem to remember anything lately. I'll go to work in the morning, and by that night, I'll forget that I was at work earlier. I feel like I'm in a fog.
6. I have absolutely no energy lately. I started drinking caffeine after months of staying away from it because I felt like I was utterly incoherent without some boost. I used to be an extremely high-energy person, and I'm realizing now that all I ever want to do is lay down and do nothing.
7. I've been getting really bad headaches for months, and nothing I do, no pain pills I take, make them go away. I thought it was from PMDD (I have that too, but there's no way I'm having those issues month-long...) I also started drinking caffeine because of these. When I was anorexic, I got headaches from lack of nutrients, but these are different. When I was in high school, I slept 2.5 - 5 hours a night on purpose, and got sleep deprivation headaches, but again, these are different. I liked the way I felt when I was running on adrenaline because I never had enough "real" energy to function.
I don't feel sad, really. I don't feel worthless, I don't want to die...I'm just...tired. I dunno.
Is there a way I can combat this feeling? I have no motivation, and I miss the person I was in high school. I refuse to take medication - I have crohn's and I'm on medication for the rest of my life to begin with. I don't want any more.
Has anyone had any experience with this? =( (link)

I am not a doctor but I think you are suffering from some kind of depression. a doctor should give you the answers to this question.

I have battled with my weight all my life. As a child, I was chubby and was bullied by my peers. In my early teen years, I suffered from an eating disorder, lost a lot of weight, and was very thin.
I started gaining weight at 16 and by the time I was 18, I was considered obese. At 19, I got down to 172 lbs (no longer obese, but still overweight) but then I gained it back. Now I'm just over 200 pounds, and I find that I am no longer able to lose weight.
I feel very bitter toward society, everyone who ever hurt me, and even myself. I feel like if I lose weight, I'm letting them win because "they" told me there was something wrong with me, so the only way to win is to love myself the way I am and say screw them. I feel like maybe I even sabotage my own attempts to lose weight.
I have suffered no health consequences due to my weight. I am in relatively good health. I wish I could say I wanted to lose weight for my health, but it isn't true. Under it all, my desire to lose weight is truly fueled by the same insecurity and self loathing that I had as a young teen.
How can I change this? What should I do? (link)
| |
Well, losing weight is not an immediate process. It takes some time. You should start exercising on a daily basis and eat healthier. Not eating anything to lose weight is not going to get you anywhere but the hospital. You can eat and lose weight but you have to eat right. Fruits and vegetables are a better approach to losing weight. Daily exercises is a big challenge but the results at the end are amazing. Commitments are very important in living a healthier lifestyle. Exercise, eat healthier would be my suggestions for you. Hope that answers your question.

why do i find it so hard to talk to my parents about problems going on in my life as far as friends and relationships go? im really close to them and tell them alot! but for some reason i just dont like to tell them anytihng about my social life. i want to but for some reason i feel ashamed to talk to them about this.
also my mood has been changing alot latley. im tired, less motivated in school, and im fighting with friends a lot more often. and now im growing apart from one of my best friends, i feel abandoned. help i really dont know whats going on with me! this isnt like me at all!! im changing into some one i dont even know or like!! (link)

It actually helps to express your feelings to someone else. I told my mom a lot of my problems and I also told her that I may have mental problems. She bashed me the wrong way and I was so hurt. When I have problems, the same thing always happens so I express it to someone else. I'm actually going through the same phase too. The best way to resolve this is too just talk to someone. The more you hide it, the more it's going to eat you inside so just let it all out. It really makes a difference.

I have this thing coming up and I don't wanna have to stand up in front of people. i wanna lose my voice so how do I do this without like hurting myself forever or breaking something? (link)
| |
Why do you want to lose your voice??? It's completely natural to be afraid to perform in front of people. I did the whole acting thing in high school and nearly dropped out of high school because I had to play a character that I was very uncomfortable to play. I was scared to death whenever we have to rehearse in front of an audience which was my class and be judged by our performance. I had the most criticism and it hurt me but I sucked it up and learned from every criticism I got and at the end, I ended up giving an astounding performance as they say. Just go for it. I think you can do it. You're just nervous. As long as you try and give it your best, nothing else matters. So don't lose that voice of yours. Showoff your talent to the public because it's a gift that's waiting to be unwrapped!!!

I think I'm going to write about the person I am influenced by. But after I wrote it, I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. I explained everything about the person that I find admirable. Then I was almost done, but I felt like it didn't say anything about me. It felt like I was writing a biography on the person. Can you tell me how to make myself come across in the essay? Or should I just start over with a new topic? (link)
| |
When you write an essay about a person you are influenced by, you're basically writing more about your views on that person. A biography is the story of someone's life and background. Just read the title of the essay you're writing and you should come up with main ideas on how to start your essay. You're ideas should support the title of your essay.

im majorly in love with river phoenix! im so upset bout how hes dead well i was wondering how can i get more of his music from his band alekas attic!?
i have note to a friend on my fone and computer
but everytime i search the lyrics its completely different then the actual song im so lost!
someone please help me!
thnks in advance (link)
| |
Why don't you try on youtube and type in the song title ur looking for with lyrics. it should be accurate because the song is playing while the lyrics is displaying like karaoke. Just give it a try. If you search it on google, it's not always correct. I've been there before. If it does not work out, try "ask.com".

So my friend asks me for homework which i really worked on really hard. I was stupid enough to give it to her. She didn't even thank me! I was really mad at her at that time. Then, after half an hour. she replies "thnx. i didn't really need it. it was for someone else who needed the homework"
1) i know that i shouldn't have given my homework...but is this a good friend or not.. I'm gonna ignore her tomorrow..so that she knows that I didn't like what she had done.
she never even told me that she was gona give it to someone else! (link)
| |
I wouldn't call that a good friend because when you think about it, she is only using you as a reference to make herself look good. Fight for you right and confront her about it. You may lose her but it's not worth being friends with a cheater. Find real friends.

long...sorry :(
I'm a brand new freshman in highschool.
over the summer i grew up and i (thought) i became way prettier, nicer, and more outgoing
lately, it seems like i'm a total FREAK. it seems like EVERYONE is making fun of me while i'm standing right there. every time im by myself in the hall or a class and i hear someone in a group of people laugh i get nervous and i just want to cry and try to make myself as invisible as possible.
i think it all started awhile ago with this little thing on facebook called honesty box (where you ask a question like "what do you really think of me?" and people can answer anonymously)and someone wrote "gross." and then we talked back and forth and basically they pretended they were my best friend (even though my actual best friend was with me while it was happening) and even though they didn't say anything actually insulting, (they would say things like "so, hows school?" and "i love you so much your too funny!") i could tell it was some girl making fun of me with one of her friends or something.
now i think that everybody thinks i'm a freak or something. i'm one of those people who TOTALLY over think things. but ive also picked up on people who are ACTUALLY talking about me while i'm right there...like pointing at me subtly and saying something to their friend or when a bunch of people all look at me (not very subtly) and then burst out laughing
the really weird thing is is that i have like two different people in me kind of...one is shy and quiet and awkward and just wants to break down crying from all the anxiety, and the other one is confident and happy and flirty. the second person comes out on the bus to and from school...thats where i get TONS of attention from everyone. there aren't really any wicked popular girls that the guys can talk to i guess, so they all joke with me and tell me im really good looking and stuff like that...and i always feel so happy. i just wish it was like that all the time.
i dont really have much of a question, this was more to get it all out there...
i guess my question is why would people make fun of me while at the same time im cool and beautiful on the bus? i just really don't understand it. and also what can i do to stop overthinking things? and how to NOT be made fun of like that? if youve got anything else feel free to say it..
and please dont hesitate to say what you really think because i need to know
thanks :) (link)

That is the reality of first year high school. You're in an environment where the upperclassmen rules the school and the freshman are being tormented by them. Things are going to change once the year progresses. Just be yourself. Once your a sophomore, you will see your classmates tormenting the new freshman. Just deal with it. High school is all about developing into young adults. The real world is full of harsh criticism also so it's a good practice to deal with harsh criticism.

how do i stretch my vocal range?Is there any voice exercises to help? (link)
| |
Go to google and type your question about singing. I actually had the same question and found answers on google. Give it a try.
|
|
So I went out with someone a little over a week ago...and he hasn't really talked to me ever since...in fact, I think he's ignoring me almost completely. I think maybe I did something wrong...should I confront him about it? (link)
| |
If it's bothering you a lot, you should confront him to get answers. You weren't really specific about what actually happened on your date but the best approach is to just confront him about it.

My girlfriend and I have been together for a year or so. I knew her for a year before things became "official" so to speak. She lives a few states away. We've had great chemistry ever since we met. that first year and up until almost 6 months ago, we hadn't spent much time together in person but last July I went and spent 8 days with her and her family and things became 100x better than they had been. I realized I loved her when I realized that I wanted her to be the best she could be, I wanted her to be safe, I wanted her to be happy no matter what. She has said the same for me and I love her very much. I definitely could see spending the rest of my life with her.
About a month ago I just out of nowhere couldn't feel the excitement I had felt when I thought about her. I felt kind of lonely, but after praying about it and pushing away the feeling away, I felt just in love with her as I had been before. a week later, the same feeling came. I was on the phone with her and I just started crying. I don't know where it came from. I'm not a big crier but I just couldn't stop. I felt so empty, as if I didn't know how to love her anymore. I was frightened that the next time I see her (december 26th) I wont know how to love her or how to be excited.
Its been about a month now of off and on of this feeling. but this weekend has by far been the worst ever. I DONT WANT TO LOOSE THIS GIRL! I love her so much, but lately I just haven't been able to be happy.
Is it just stress? is it just that I miss her? I've never felt so bad in my life. She by far is the most amazing girl I have ever met. but right now I just cant seem to be excited about her. Im so lost. Help me! (link)
| |
It's probably just love stress. It's a natural occurrence when you are in a relationship. You're very paranoid because you are committing yourself to the opposite sex. When you are single, you have more freedom. you see the difference???

me and my best friend have been friends since kindergarden (im 13) and his sister is 14 i think she awesome and i didnt no id like her like this but i do so i asked her out and she said yes but idk if i should stay with her or brake up cause me and her r doing this behind his back plase help me (link)
| |
Well, if you hide it long enough until he finds out on his own, your friendship will go in jeopardy. It's better to tell him the truth. Honesty is what makes a friendship real. Sometimes truth hurts but it's better to expose it and move on. You've basically betrayed him for doing it behind his back. just so it doesn't interfere with your relationship with his sister, tell him the truth. He should understand!!!
