So, for my college essay I was thinking of writing about a point in my life when I basically had to cut all my hair off because it was falling out. I'm a female, and at the time short hairstyles weren't in fashion and we know how society judges people. I am also an African American so the pressure of keeping up to date is even worse in my opinion, compared to any other race. But,my goal isn't to make the person who's reading my essay pity me or whatever. I built my self confidence and learned to deal with the troubles that life sometimes offer and how i over came my obstacles. Do you get how i'm trying to come across? do you think this is a good topic choice? What do you think?

Yeah. I think I'm getting what you are saying. You are saying that sometimes in life, we have to do things that may not be so appealing to everyone else. But we end up having to deal with these things, be strong and gain so much out of it. Like how you gained your self confidence. But i think this is awesome. And amen to that haha...a lot of people don't really understand what African American women go through to maintain their hair. On the Tyra Banks recently had a show about "Good Hair". She talked about how there are less African American Women in the United States than Causasian Women, and we (African American) women spent 80% of all the hair products and supplies.Anyway i think your topic is perfect. Goodluck :)

so last year, my friend was in a car accident, and someone close to her died in it. she was in a lot of pain, physically, and was in hospital for a while. she had to be weaned off the painkillers, because she got so addicited to them, and it was really scary, but now she's back to normal. then fo the past two weeks shes been really distant. also she's been taking theese blue capsules. they are a light blue and i'm putting a link to an image of a similar looking pill, but it's a tiny bit darker:
http://images.medscape.com/pi/features/drugdirectory/octupdate/UPJ03950.jpg
it had the word 'ROCHE' on it and another word which i think started with an 'X'. i'm probably worrying over nothing, because she's really smart, but i'm worried she's taking too much, cause i see her take it every day, and i know she got it from a friend, not the doctors. can anyone figure out what it is, and is it addictive. im not going to the teachers, EVER. and her dad just isnt there at all. she's pretty much alone, but she's an amazing person, and i would hate for her to be in trouble. (link)

Wow, good for you to be worried about her. You are a good friend to be looking out for her like that and worrying about what pills she is taking!:D...thats way tight....i looked at the image link you gave, and i found this website that shows these Xenical Roche 120 mg...something pills. They are appearantly used for weight loss. I'll put the link here so you can see :D... http://www.diet-pills-24h.com/products/248.html...

17/f
I am in Brisbane, Australia and i recently moved here. I have never gone trick or treating or anything like this before as i am from South Africa and it is a little risky doing such..
I would like to dress up as a Mummy for halloween this year, i would like to go for the cheapest option. not something too pricey; i dont want to hire a costume. i want to make my own. i was thinking of using bandages, but im not too sure.. i have never done this before and so i dont know if it will out nicely or not.. it has too look a lil brownish and dirty as Mummies are ancient! and... should i wear any sort of footwear? it may look a bit odd. so maybe not..
but any ideas/advice or experiences you would like to share with me would be greatly appreciated!
thank you! (link)

hey! i am from SA too :D....but i can relate to how you feel haha....it depends if you want it sexy or just whatever. what i've heard of is getting strips of cloth and dipping them in lemon juice, wring the cloth, and putting them on a cookie sheet and putting it in the oven...it makes the cloth have brownish, dirt, black and colors close to that in different areas...maybe you can wear a fitted dress/tunic/white tunic that goes to your mid thigh, and then wrap the cloth around your legs as if they were knee high socks and you can wear white flip flops maybe, or highheels, and then just wrap the cloth again on your arms like long long gloves...and then for the socks and for the arms you can cut strands and have them hanging or dangling off like a mummy.....

17/f and hes 18/m.
my boyfriend and i have been going out for a little bit over a year now, on and off of course... we were still hooking up during that time of not going out though so i still call it a year.
he now goes to colllege as a freshman and im a junior in high school. this distance is killing me, hes 320 miles away from me. but i see him so much already. i see him about 2 times a month for a weekend, its enough to make me happy. so this is a long distance relationship i suppose.
he was home for coloumbus day weekend because he had a 5 day break, so i was with him every second of those 5 days. having sleepovers, being with him all day, running aarons with him, seeing his grandparents with him and whatnot. it was a great weekend and im glad i spent it with him as much as i could :).
but recently, i have been feeling like... i dont know..... i feel like we just fight alot, but we only fought once since he went back up to school tuesday night. i feel like, i would be happier single, but i know in reality i wouldnt... i worry about him up there at college alot, like going to frat parties, im not going to stop him, its college. i want him to have a good time.
hes cheated on me once, a year ago exactly. i took him back thinking it was a small mistake it might be worth giving him a chance and if its not then ill break up with him...look where we are now 1 year later. (link)

Listen to your gut. Don't ignore it because that's the worst thing. Reading this, it seems like deep down you know that this guy is not for you. The way he treats you sound just so shitty. But i think that at the same time you love him so much, its hard to let go, even though you know he isn't doing you any good. But you have every right to be upset with everything. Long distance is a tough thing. I would tell you to do exactly how you feel, break it off, because you are basically in pain. You deserve better. Who will make you happy, hyper, sad, emotional, beautiful, and at the same time not critisize your flaws. That is just plain wrong. But i'm sure that to just break up with him is going to be hard, so i would probably just recomend you guys having an open relationship since you guys are long distance...but if you can be strong enough to let him go, go for it :)..good luck

When I met him he was basically a prostitute. He was willing to sell himself to anyone for 50 dollars. I watched him do it. Later I convinced him that this was wrong and that he should not do that. I think he still does from time to time. He thought I was rich so he didn't try to charge me. Instead made me feel like I was important. He even moved in with me and became my best friend and secret lover. I guess with time he lost all hope of getting money out of me. Then one day he just up and left. Moved in with someone else. Told me it was platonic, but I soon learned that he was lying. He played a crazy game of roller coaster with me as all good players do. Kept seeing me the whole time he lived with this other person. He would even make plans for the two of us to travel together. Once he offered to pretend we were on our gay honey moon if I would buy us a vacation to Hawaii. He said often that he always wanted me to be there for him. Some of it was real. I mean he no longer thought I was rich. So he does care about me. I know that. But not as much as I care about him. When I met him I picked him up, brushed him off, and got him off to a better start in life. And he wanted to repay me. The thing is he has always lead a double life. The kind of double life that many gay or bisexual men have lead throughout history. Not being aloud to be with the person of their choice because society will shame them. So they hook up with someone more acceptable to society and then forget that they are living a lie. He will never change. So my question is...Do I tell this person that he has been "cheating" on them with me for their entire relationship? Or do I just walk away and let the chips fall where they may?
Everyone in this discussion is over 18 years of age. (link)

It seems like you might want to tell the person that he has been "cheating" on them with you for the entire relationship because you want payback right? after all, you have done so much for this guy, and this is how he repaid you. That is really messed up, but I think that telling the person would be too much cuz it's their relationship. Let the person find out for themselves. it might be a good idea to just keep your distance like you have, that way you don't get caught up in all the drama. And who knows, sometimes when people try to tell others about their cheating boyfriends, they choose not to believe it. They think that there is something wrong with the person telling them about the cheating. Or maybe jealousy, or trying to steal their guy. But the thing is, you are not the one responsible for his mistakes. He should be man enough to know what the right thing to do is. The truth usually always comes out at some point somehow anyway. So i think that you should just forget about it all because its really not worth all the drama. At least you are out of it, the rest is left to him to figure out.

So I am a freshman in college and I've been on a couple dates with this guy who really likes me a lot. I think hes adorable and sweet and stuff, and it's not like there are any other guys in my life right now, it's just that I don't want to be tied down in a relationship, at least for my first year in college. Is it selfish of me to want to continue dating him but not be labeled his girlfriend? and even so, i have a feeling hes going to ask me to be his girlfriend soon, so how on earth do i tell him how i feel without hurting his feelings? (link)
| |
hey!hahah...i'm like that too...being tied down is not so cool...but i think that you should tell him you can't be his girlfriend but you guys can date....cuz being a girlfriend is like being in a marriage, and you are all tied down like you said...but with dating, you can date a lot of people at once :D...you can still have your fun with him and other people too and enjoy your time in college!:D

Okay so hi =)
I'm 16/f and I need some sex advice as the topic says.
My boyfriend and I lost our virginity to each other (sort of) last month and I want to do it again BUT the right way this time. You see when we tried to have sex before, it didn't go in all the way. It kind of hurt but for the most part it was an uncomfortable feeling. Probably because I'm not used to a penis being in there I assume. My question is how can I make it more comfortable for us next time and more enjoyable? Any real help would be useful. (link)
| |
I know you are probably not going to like what I have to say, but i'm just trying to be honest and frank.i think you guys should wait for two more years. Its such a risk even with condoms having sex at 16. They are not 100 percent safe you know. I have no business telling you when and when not to have sex, but i really think you should wait a while. :)...goodluck
|
i like this guy. i shouldn't say like because i haven't had much of a chance to get to know him. i thought everything was going good. he flirted with me in school. and we hung out at sporting events. than he kind of stop showing interest in me and more in another girl my age who im calling sam for now. im not very close with sam but i say hey when i see her and ive never had a problem with her....until now...i find her irritating and conceited. i don't know, i think it could just be jealousy but im not sure. what should i do? (link)
| |
lol..i think you are just jealous that he seems more interested in her.....its totally normal though i think....but i think you should fight for him :D.....focus on him, not her...this is not about her and him, its about YOU AND HIM....still be cool with her, don't feel too much hate for her though, because she probably, likely doesn't know how you feel about him. Just do your own thing and get on to him :D haha...Don't let her have him

i have a pimple in my ear lobe .. its like to a head but nothing comes out? how do i get rid of it? (link)
| |
oh my gosh haha...i had this too lol...but it hurts right? and its so thick you can't pop it....well, i just basically went away...i can't remember how cuz it was a while ago, but it popped or something like that, just on its own time...so patience is a good thing haha...good luck :D

I'm 18 now, but my parents and I have stopped getting along so well since I was about 15. I miss it terribly.
They always say they're so good to me because they're always giving me things (it's true). I really do appreciate those things but I want more than material things from them. I want to feel loved. I want hugs and kisses and long talks about school and boys.
I'm always a little depressed over this. I know sometimes I give them a bit of an attitude because of this frustration. I want to explain to them that I need more than things bought for me. I want to develop a good relationship with them again.
How do I explain this to my parents? (link)
| |
i can relate to you so much!....exactly how you just said it over here...tell this to them :)....tell them straight up how you feel. don't sugar coat it, just say exactly how you feel. tell them " i miss you so much, i miss being able to come to you guys about anything, everything, feeling loved, and this has made me so deppressed, and thats why i'm always giving you guys so much attitude, i appreciate everything you do, but i need you emotionally too etc." just anything....this worked for me..i hope it can work for you if you try :D

I loaned my friend $600 nine months ago to help them keep their small business going. I have since learned that they blew this chunk of money on gambling and various things that were simply not related to the business. I feel like an idiot because I should have seen their immaturity and the warning signs; however, I would very much like to be paid back. When I loaned them the money, it was with the agreement that I would get the full $600 back within six months. Six months are up and they are telling me that I should wait longer. I suggested they pay me weekly until the loan is paid back but they refuse to agree to that.
What should I do now? (link)
| |
take their ass to court thats messed up that they just took your money.

great glam! this place is so tight.....the clothes are amazing
|
I've been with my boyfriend for almost three weeks, and people keep saying to me 'Awh, you and * look so cute together!' or things along those lines, and I'm not sure how I should respond. I mean, naturally I'm happy, but I'm just not sure what an appropriate response to that would be.
Any suggestions? :) (link)
| |
'Thank you :)'....sometimes people that say that are looking to hear a little bit about you and your boy's relationship....watch how they say it, if they say it in a way like they want to know more, you can say something like 'thank you!:), its almost a month now :)....or if they say it in a casual way, just a simple polite 'Thank you!'

my friend copies everything i do. like, i will make up a word and she will use it all the time after she hears me say it. or i will wear sweats to school and the next day she will wear sweats. my mom said don't look at it in a negative way look at is as she looks up to you but i hate it! my outfits are my style and i dont want anyone taking it. nobody reply "just talk to her and tell her how you feel" because she is the kind of person where you can freak out on her and she will just laugh or she will change her attitude that day and then go back to her normal self the next. help, please! im at wits end! (link)
| |
i can so relate to you!!!! its good you are trying to find a way to solve this before it gets out of hand, mine got so bad the person started trying to steal my boy friends!!!.....what you can do is hope that karma comes around and someone does the same thing to them lol...or another way is to tell her indirectly if you have had someone else copy you, use them as an example....like saying "don't you hate it when your friends copy you?!!! it is so irritating...its like they have no personality, blah blah" something that will make her know you are talking about her, and will make her feel so bad that she stops...maybe this way she will realize what she is doing....but i hope this works for you! haha..its what worked for me, the karma and telling her indirectly and basically giving her examples of what the person that copies you was doing.....but goodluck! I hope she stops soon, because a competitive relationship is not so good

i herd that when you have your period and you eat alot of sugary foods like chocolate and lollies etc you dont gain weight is that ture?if so why is that? (link)
| |
When most girls are on their period they tend to eat a lot more than usual (junk food, everything), and gain a few pounds or more depending on who they are. I think this is part of your menstrural process. The wieght isn't permanent, so it goes away after a certain period of time which could be after their period, or close to the end, or anytime depending on the person.So to answer your question, you do gain weight when you eat a lot during your period, but it ends up going away at the end or whatever.
