Q: Ok, well my mom has REALLY bad mood swings when she's not on her PAXIL! and sometimes even when she is on it she completely loses her mind and cant control her temper. This ususally happens about once every month or two. But today she got upset because i didnt clean my room and she totally lost it! Well she didnt punch me in the face or anything, but she slammed my face on the floor, and was pulling my hair and was punching me on the back of my legs, and with all that happening, my lips were busted open, and i have a black eye, and it bled a little, and even make-up wont cover it completely! Also she keeps threatening to send me to live with my dad (who lives in a semi-nice house, but is addicted to marijuana, crack, cocaine, crystal meth, and he pops pills)...So i was wondering if this was considered Child Abuse.....Thanks Alot for reading this, and im sorry if its Long!
hell yes it is.

Q: I have a best friend, he's nice and cute and so nonsexist ( which i hate about guys), he's perfect! But... i like him more than a friend and i dont think he knows it. Im affraid to tell him because i dont want to break the friendship. So what can i do to know whether he feels the same?

Q: I have this friends when ever i go to play with them they run off on me what should i do?
Well maybe they just arent the right friends for you, if they dont want to hang out with you, you should just ditch them and see if they care. you deserve better!!!! much love, kelly

Q: But the problem is I don't know how to ask for it. My dad is so completely clueless when it comes to me & my mother is not around. I've told him I'm depressed & that I think about killing myself all the time. But how do I straight out tell him I want to get help before I actually try to kill myself?
just get help! dont wait around for him to get a clue. . .you might want to try talking to a close friend or a close relative besides him. this is a serious problem and dont commit suicide! no one would want that, even if it seems like no one might care you'd be surprised. trust me Ive definetly thought about that more than once but its just not. . .not. . .how can i put this?? its not going to fix anything, just live life to its fullest and dont let anyone or anything ruin that for you. this might not really make sense but you just have to realize. . .that nothing can solve all your problems, not even suicide. life is all about getting into trouble and FIXING it. if everything was perfect we'd have nothin to live for, thats the fun of it! well i really dont know what else to say except its all up to you, if you wanna talk im me at dorkette808 -Kelly

Q: I was just wondering where tears came from? Why do our eyes water whn we feel sad or get hurt? Why does our nose start to run and we get choked up? And why do they taste salty? I know this is a random question, but I'm very curious!
Um I dont really know what this means but you can have a look-(i found it on the internet)-

I assume that the child is referring to tearing and not the sound of crying. Some random thoughts:
Newborns cry (I think tearing develops soon, but am not sure) for reasons like hunger and pain, and later the reasons extend to social concerns (e.g., need for attention). Thus, it seems reasonable to explain the link between crying and sadness as being an extension of the negative associations of the very earliest crying. Early crying is both endogenous (no obvious cause--full bladder?) and reflexive (to stimuli), but during first year becomes "tuned" to the more negative situations.

Crying works in that it elicits responses from caregivers, who then alleviate the negative cause (like hunger). Thus, one should consider crying (and facial tearing) as communicative signals designed to enhance the likelihood of someone coming and taking care of things. Perhaps the greater the signal (louder, shriller cry and more tearing) the more likely the response, thus reinforcing the combination of the sound, tears, and negative situation, and making it more likely one will elicit the other in the future (like hearing someone sobbing causing you to tear).

Perhaps an interesting piece of the puzzle: In the waking behavior of newborns (which is not a whole lot), newborns are largely unresponsive to environment when crying (only other such unresponsive time is during quiet sleep). If much early stimulation is negative from the child's point of view, perhaps crying helps to shut it out.

The most interesting part of the question I think is why tearing? I came across only one article--highly speculative--in which the fellow looked at relationships among crying episodes of adults and found that the only commonality was help--either requesting or offering it. He speculates that tears provide an additional signal in requesting help in infants/children--a conspicuous facial signal--and that perhaps tears are selected for this task because they are already present via their reflexive association to physical pain and ocular trauma (e.g., eyes watering to get dust out).

One thing to tell your insightful youngster is that tearing is also associated with positive as well as negative feelings, and that this might be related to what the fellow above was talking about in terms of a relationship between help and tearing.

Anyway, I am constantly amazed by how quickly one gets to the limits of our knowledge about a phenomenon! Mike

does that help at all? -Kelly

Q: What WEBSITE can I get a picture of a girl with twisties and then the rest of her hair curled? I want my hair like that for my dance but I was told I need a picture to show the hairdresser exactly like I want it.

Q: does anyone know anybooks that are a good read? books that will make you think or slightly uncomfortable? anything in the same league as "The Perks of being a Wallflower? thank you!!
I really liked: The Lovely Bones and Perfect, a good author i know is Louise Rennison. Also, my friend recommended the book Isle of Palms, and i REALLY want to read it, she said it was GREAT. If you want to know more about anything just ask back. . .-Kelly

Q: My eyebrows are really hairy! I have super long hairs and I look really bad. My mom won't letme get them waxed..I have asked her many times and she won't let me. I've tried plucking them but they hurt! I don't know what to do because I'm about to be a junior in high school and it's really getting to me! Any advice would be greatly appriciated! Also, don't tell me to sit down and talk to my mom-it won't work..Also, peopple that give crazy answers that want attention, please don't answer!
Well I herd that if you use like a little brush or just your finger, you just push your eyebrow hairs so they stick strait up, then get tiny nail scissors(little scissors for the skin around your nails) or you could try regular scissors(just be careful) and trim the top, it makes them MUCH less busier. But to shape them youll have to pluck(make sure you pluck right out of your shower when your pores are open, its much less painful) Glad I could help -Kelly
