I am a 20 year old guy in college. I have fun helping people with any of their problems. I fell in love with this site when everybody was so nice to me and helped me fix a problem with a girl awhile back, so I'm back to repay the favor. Many times when we have problems we dont think of the most sensible answer. So if you are looking for a little insight and some help, I'm your guy!

I'm a 13 year old female,I'm 5 foor 7 inches and I weigh 122 pounds and I'm not fat (pretty muscley and tiny bits of flab in small amounts) I eat A LOT of food in a meal and snack when I feel a lil hungry (a chocolate here,a banana there) I take vitamin C,D Omaga 3 6 and 9 essentials and a multiy vitamin for wemen.I am pretty healthy.
Breakfast : careal or a blueberry beagl if any breakfast.
10 A.M. break : dunk-a-roos,yogurt,animal crackers
Lunch : Ham or chicken w/ cheese and mayo sandwitch,juice box/water bottle
Supper : A meat (beef chicken pork),with rice,potatos,fries or something and pop or juice or water.usually big double portions
Sorry this is so long but my question is do you think this is healthy ?Also I have a fast matabalisum. (link)

Although you dont mention any vegetable, you are eating a pretty sensible diet. In high school (and even now in college) I eat a ton of greasy food. Somehow my metabolism keeps up with me so I dont gain a pound, but I know how unhealthy it is. You could be doing so much worse. The juice, your breakfast, and even your snacks seem like good choices over bacon and eggs, a bag of chips, etc.

Okay well I was listening to my iPod and I clicked the "next" button and as I clicked it the volume went up as well and suddenly it was frozen. This happened about an hour ago and it's still frozen. I jumped onto the computer hoping it'd take off the frozeness and re charge it but it didn't. I clicked onto iTunes and found out it's not even saying my iPod is connected so I can't even restore it (Wipe off all the songs and restart itself) I also tried restarting it but that didn't work either.
Do I have to wait until the battery runs out and then recharge it or is there something I can do? (link)
| |
I actually had the same thing happen just about. I statically shocked my ipod somehow and it got stuck on, and it paused the music and nothing worked. So I waited until it died and then fully recharged it and it was fine after that. It was weird but it still works today. Hope you have as good of luck as I did.

my car will not turn over the battery is good the car just will not turn over what could be wrong with it? (link)
| |
It could be the spark plugs. I had a friend who thought his battery died. We jumped it like 3 times but it wouldn't hold a charge. Turns out all it was were old spark plugs. So me and him just changed his sparkplugs, and now his car starts great. It took us like an hour and was a $9 fix. Probably pretty cheap if you take it in as well. Good luck

Ok. So, i'm 14/f. and this is kinda a long story, i'll try to make it as short as i can. so when my mom was 18 (she is 37 now) she had a baby. She didn't mean to or anything, but its just one of those kinda things that happend. She knew that she couldn't take care of her, so she gave her to a family that couldn't have a baby. So yeah, my mom told me about all of this when i was about 10 i think, and now i'm 14, obviously. lol. anyways, the agentcy (sp) that my mom went through to give her baby to another family had some rules. and one of them was that my mom and her baby, Becky, couldn't meet until Becky was 18, and until she was ready. Well just the other day they got to talk for the first time over the fone cause Becky is 20 or somethin now. well, she told my mom that she wanted to talk to me sometime, and that she really wanted to be like a sister to me. but i'm not really sure if i'm ready to just let my "sister" come into my life. i mean, one day she talkes to my mom and she just comes into the family? they haven't even met yet! and now my mom is talking about how she could come on vacation in the summer, and how Becky and i could go shopping together and stuff like that. and i'm just like wth? and Becky told my mom that she wanted to talk to me over the fone sometime, but what the heck do i talk to her about? am i blowing this way out of proportion, or not? idk what to do or think. help!! thanx!! (link)

I don't think you are blowing this out of proportion. This is kind of an awkward situation that you were thrust into and you had nothing to do with. After saying that however, I think you are getting lucky. Your new half sister can become a good friend, or mentor. 14 can be a rough age, if you aren't comfortable talking to your mom ever, you now have another person to talk to who probably went through the exact same issues as you do. You dont have to let her into your life right away, just try being her friend. You both came from your mom, so you two are probably a lot alike. You were indeed put into an awkward situation, but when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Try to understand your mom too, she's just trying to do the right thing, bringing your sister back into her life. She did the right thing when she was 18 too, giving your sister a life that your mom knew she couldn't provide.

i want really nice legs..how can i get them w.o looking like i have man legs??...and also my thighs are sooo bigg....can you lose weight in your thighs??..if so how???...and my arms are really skinny how can i get more weight up there....mostly around the wrist...and i want a flat stomach how can i do that?? (link)
| |
As for your arms, its fine if you have skinny arms, but one thing to make your arms look sexy is if you get them toned. Not buff like a guy, just toned. Do some pilates type workouts. This will put a bit of musle in your forearms (and wrists). Maybe pilates would help you with your legs too. Good luck

Theres this boy, Jake, who is one of my best friends, ever. I love him, but he doesn't like me. I'm almost positive that he likes my best friend Jenna, who likes him. It hurts, but I love him and I just want him to be happy, even if its without me. But i'm afraid that she's going to hurt him. his ex girlfriend hurt him really badly last year, and im afraid that it Will happen again. I really, really want him to be happy, but i'm afraid that jennas feelings for him arent really that deep, or that its just a little thing that she'll get over. I really dont want to see him get hurt. (link)
| |
I would go up and talk to him too, tell him you dont want to see him get hurt, and you just want him to be happy. If unfortunately he endes up going out with Jenna, try to remain friends with him. If he does end up getting hurt, make sure you are there for him. He will remember that in the future and you should eventually get what you want. Your question sort of sounds like the timing isn't perfect for you and Jake, so just wait until the timing is right for you two! If Jennas feelings really aren't that deep, I would guess that it is (or will be) a quick little fling.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE SOME GUYS TO ANSWER THIS ALSO., not just girls. kaythnx
hi. i dont know what caategory to put this as. but anyways. i really hate how i look, i think im soo ugly. but theres alot of friends of my friends who think im SO hott. but all the guys at my school dont think im not hott. heres a picture of me, can anyone give my sugestions/or tell me what they think of me? like tell me if you think im pretty or whatever. and be honestt, please. i take critisims (SP?) well. so yeah heres the pic... http://a652.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/60/l_dd4937230d074434256e580b3c109653.jpg. be honest. do you think im ugly, pretty, what? (link)
| |
Here's your guy answer. I agree with the person below, you are really pretty. Why wouldn't you like how you look if other people think you are beautiful. One way to get some extra feedback about it is to set up an account on Hot or Not. I thought I was ugly too, but it turns out somehow people think I'm better than 71% of the guys on the site! From your picture, you're skinny, have a good face, and look kinda tall. Everything a guy is looking for. One other thing to keep in mind is they say "the biggest critic of your body is yourself."

My hair gets greasy and oily very very easily. If I wash my hair one night, it will be fine for a day, but then the next my hair feel feels gross and disgusting. I barely use ANY products in it too! I am pretty sure it is cause by hormones and other assorted teenage issues, but how can I stop this? I know it is unhealthy to wash your hair everyday, but that seems like the only solution. I used to use a hair buildup shampoo, but I ran out and forgot what the brand was. Any suggestions? (link)
| |
Not sure if you are a guy or a girl, but when I was in high school, the exact same thing happened to me. I'm a guy, so I used Head and Shoulders for oily hair. I guess Head and Shoulders is kind of gender neutral now becuase they have an ad campaign aimed at women. Anyway, it worked pretty good for me, but use a conditioner because it tends to make your hair frizzy.

Hey...does anyone know what happened to Survivor Fiji on CBS? I know it can't be canceled...but does it show on another day or is it taking a break? Cause for a few weeks every Thursday has basketball on..so what's goin on? Can someone give me the date it will start back or the new day and time please?
Thanks (link)

Hey, I'm addicted to that show too! Thurs, Mar 15th there was no show. And then it moved to this past Wed (Mar 21) because of the NCAA tourny. I believe it returns to its normal lineup next Thursday.

I am 15, almost 16, and female. I Recently broke up with my boyfriend. We went out for about 6 months. I loved him, and he loved me, but I just wanted to get away and experience more. He also got a little on my nerves, but I think it was best. However, I have been having some mixed feelings lately. I think that on the one hand it was a bad idea and I miss him terribly. Then on the other hand I think, I don't need him. We went to an event together(we're still friends) and he kissed me in the elevator. Then, he talks about his friend, Kali, in front of me, who is a girl, that he went to the movies with. AHHH I dont know what to do. How should I handle this????? (link)
| |
It depends on what you feel. If your only reason for breaking up was for you to experience more, that's fine, but what if he is the one? Also, you will never find somebody who doesn't get on your nerves a little bit, but if you really love him you will be able to get through all of that. He could be serious about this Kali girl, but it could also mean that he wants you back, so he's purposely talking about Kali so you will get jealous. Try not to see that as a mean thing for him to do though, because that might be his only idea. If you think you really want him back (which it sounds like) maybe just tell him that you still have some feelings for him and you made a mistake. Good luck

15/f. i hooked up with one of my really close guy friends who happens to be a senior on sat night. so we were talking about it and let's just say i'm not that experienced (even though he doesn't know that) and i was saying that i'm a boring person and he said "well you're certainly not a boring kisser." is that a good thing? (link)
| |
Yes! That's a compliment and also his way of flirting with you. He probably even likes you and doesn't think you are a boring person.

I made a video for a project using my digital camera and windows movie maker. It turned out sooo well. So I saved it to CD-R, because that had more than enough space. I took it to school, the DVD player wouldn't read it. So we put it in the laptop and hooked up the projector to it, so we could play it on a screen for the class. The laptop read it just fine, and the projector worked just fine, except it wouldn't show the movie on the projector. It showed the desktop and the Windows Media Player, but where the movie was supposed to be, it was just black (while it was playing on the screen of the laptop). I cant just connect the computer or laptop to the tv, for some reason. So I went home and tried to burn the movie onto a DVD+RW (because others had done this, and the DVD player read their disk), and it processes for like 10 minutes, gets almost all the way done, then something pops up and says "Movie was not saved to CD. An unknown error occured" or something like that. I have no idea what to do! I am out of ideas! Any help, on what to do about showing it to the class or about getting it to burn to dvd? (link)
| |
I can help you on only half of your problem I'm afraid. The reason the CD wouldn't read in the DVD player is because DVD players can't read videos on CDs. You should check to see if you have a DVD burner on your computer, if you do then you buy blank DVDs and can burn it on. The DVD player then SHOULD read it. I'm not sure why the computer is being lame and not showing up on the projector, perhaps somebody else above me will know.

Me and my boyfriend have just kissed, nothing else. We've been going out for a while, and I'm ready to try something more. How do I let him know that I'm ready, without really telling him straight out? (link)
| |
I'm assuming by the "next level" that you mean some sexual stuff, even if you dont mean intercourse yet. Maybe the next time you guys are making out, just get real passionate about it and maybe put your hand on his leg or inner thigh if you are brave enough. I have a feeling that this will send the message to him pretty quick.

Hey im 17/m and i am around 200 pounds and got a pouch and i really want to get rid of it so any ideas please let me know
(link)

I used to eat 3 meals a day and have maybe 3 different snacks a day. Once I got to college, I basically cut out a meal and 2 of my snacks. Wow, the pounds really started rolling off, I lost maybe 20 pounds in 4 months and I've been stable at my new weight for a couple years now. I used to have a snack every night before I went to bed, but I kinda thought "what's the point, you dont know if you're hungry or not when ur asleep." You dont have to starve yourself either, maybe instead of a bag of chips eat a nutrigrain bar or something healthy yet tasty :). Good luck, I know how tough this is to do.

I have a really good immune system. I'm never sick besides a sore throat every once in awhile. But I get stomach sick almost every week. Sometimes I wont go to the bathroom (number 2 if you know what I mean) for up to three days. I know that can be normal, but it makes me feel terrible. I'm not able to go even if I tell myself to. I know its gross, but its really started to effect me this past year. If my mom knew how much pepto bismoth, anti gas pills and tums I took she would think there was something seriously wrong with my digestive tract. I know that no one on here is a doctor, but are these signs major enough that I should see a doctor about it? Or are these normal things that occur? (link)
| |
I had a friend that was constipated way worse than you, like he would go 2 weeks before going number 2. He ended up getting medicine from the doctor to help him out. But all he ate was junk food, like pizza and chicken nuggets. I'm not really sure how your diet is, but try eating a few vegetables. Fiber is actually the main key here, so if you can eat bread and other foods that have fiber you could get better. Or, get some of that metamucil stuff that tastes like orange tang. If it really is painful for you, I would just consult a doctor. One can probably tell you exactly what is going on and help you get over it painlessly.

i jsut joined the middle school track tema and i did 3 600's today . i had to wlak on the las lap in a half. and i couldnt breath. it felt like someone was gripping my llung making me not able to breath . adn i felt horrible the whole night after. does anyone have any good tips to feel better, adn why is it that i was the only one who felt really really bad ? thanks (link)
| |
If you just joined, it means that you are just not in as good of shape as everybody else on the team yet. Odds are that every single person on the team felt the exact same way you do when they started. IF you stick with it, eventually you will run as good as them (maybe even better) without feeling so out of shape. One thing to do that will make you feel a little better is after you are done running, take a cooldown lap by walking slowly. If you just plain stop you can get dizzy. As you are walking, put your hands on your hips or on top of your head, this lifts your rib cage and helps your lungs get more air. There is really no way to get around feeling crappy until you are in a little better shape. Hope this helped.

I want to advide from some people who have moved away from home when they were 16 or 18...or like around that age.How did it go ??? Are you glad or do u regret it ? (link)
| |
I didn't move out but I had a friend that moved out when he was 17. He dropped out of high school and ended up going to work for a construction site. He says now (5 years later) that he kind of regrets his decision. He lives in a crappy apartment in a crappy area of town. He works two jobs to pay the rent, put food on his table, and to try to pay off all his bills. It's hard to save money when you are living paycheck to paycheck. Also, the reason he left was because of problems at school and he was getting sick of his parents for stupid reasons. Anyway, this is what happened with one of my good friends. I on the other hand am one semester away from graduating from college and ready to start my own life (I didn't have the problems he had though). So its up to you. I'm happy with the path I have taken, even though I remember when I was 17 and couldn't stand my parents. If I were you, if you can stand it at all, I would try to stick it out for the last two years. You'll be off on your own faster than you think anyway. One final note, a lot of times you cannot get the best paying jobs until you are 18 or 21, let alone without a diploma or degree. Not to put any more pressure on you, but this is a huge decision in your life that will affect you down the road. Good luck

So i was wondering, if you GUYS could answer, what turns you on more a girl with a body type like kiera knightley/sasha cohen or a girl with a body type thats maybe 10-20 lbs overweight. I respect everyone's oppinons but i feel self-consciounce because my body type is more of the kiera knightley/sasha cohen type...and i have no confidence from my body cause i feel that people look at me as anorexic, but then when i see girls overweight in a bikini they have all the confidence in the world and i'm kinda of like the wallflower in that type of situation so would you rather date a girl wiht a body type like kiera knightleys/sasha cohens or someone thats like 10-20 lbs overweight and why?? (please don't say someehting like loooks don't matter) this is a situation if you had the choice. thanks (link)
| |
Here is your guy answer. I really dont like chubby girls, but I wont date a girl unless she has some meat on her bones. Looking at pictures of Kiera Knightly, she's almost too small. She could use a good 15 pounds on her. I like more of a curvy girl I guess, but there is a limit. It's hard to draw the line where I think a girl is too chubby though. I guess look at pictures of Fergie for example, she's a curvy woman who is in shape and really toned. Heidi Klum is a better example of one that isn't a twig. Then you get vuluptuous women like selma hayek, mariah carey, etc. which is also hot, but they may be considered overweight (i'm not sure). That's what I find sexy. The olsen twins are also kinda small. I'm not saying that none of that is hot, in fact I do find little girls pretty sexy. If I had a choice between a girl overweight or underweight, I would probably choose the underweight one. You are in good shape though since you are worried about gaining weight, rather than a chubby girl losing weight. If you want, try adding 5 pounds and see if you like what you see, if not, just go back to doing what you do to stay so skinny in the first place. Hope my rambling helped a bit.
