well, my dog(german shepherd) just had 5 puppies(sadly 1 died) anyways, three of them are totally black and only one of them looks like her mother(black and tan). i was wondering if anybody could come up with some cool and unique names for my puppies, i have some ideas already, but i want more. thanx alot!!
awww how cute! lol I loving naming animals...but it seems like I only have brain blocks! lol here I'll try...okay um I've always liked the name Pip I think it's adorable. mayb I'm weird but I thought bear and lady were cute too. My sis likes maddie or bailey. You can always try www.babynames.com then at the very top of the website you'll see an alphabet and it will say search our database of 6,500 names and meanings! It's actually pretty cool you can choose the letter find unique names, their meanings, and gender. goodluck! tell me what u come up with!
lot of my freinds think I sould try out modeling I wonder anybody know anyway webistes..
Plus I am 4 foot 5. I hard you have to be 5 foot be a model.

It depends on what you want to be. you have to be around 5'6" for a runway model but if you just want to model clothes or whatever then height doesn't matter. you just can't exactly be a runway model. hope i helped good luck and trying researching more info on it! :)
Ya thnx a whole lot for that right back. well ya i am 14 and i guess you have a very good point of view. but now this is odd for me to ask but since i don't got any genetic sises i guess you can do and that is really really awsome. ok there is this party that my friends hosting no big occasion but still just a fun party.
do you think it is wise for me to talk about god or somthin or bring a gossple c.d. to it and listen to like one song. or shoulld i let it be.
thnx

It really depends on how well you know the people. I think it's really cool to want to share your faith somewhere. I think when you really want to deep down talk to someone about christ you have to have a good relationship with them first. If your just trying to let everyone around you know that you're a christian so you can start building on them and telling them about him, then here's a few things. First, always be smiling and loving so they can see something has changed you. At the party try to just talk to a lot people in a friendly way (build those friendships lol) then just slip some stuff in. I think bringing a gospel CD is a good idea mayb something like Creed or something. While you're talking to someone just say, "Did you know this was a christian band? I think that's really cool" see what they say. If they don't seem to mind you can go futher such as "are you a christian, have you ever heard of him? Do you want to hear about him?" etc... I'm not saying stand on a table and and start preaching lol but slighty hint to people and see how they take it. Everyone's different and some ppl might hint they don't want to hear it and if they don't don't push it. You don't want to scare anyone away. good luck, tell me how it goes

Hey, well ok look you have helped me a lot.. but now i need help once again i went out with this girl her name is terry she is in my grade. When i asked terry out she said yes but today she dumped me and she just went out with me because she felt bad for me. i dunno it seems like i can't get a girl. and plus i have been hurt to many times.
i read my bible and pray but my heart still aches. is there anything i can do i try to hang with my friends and stuff but it doesn't seem to help. is there a salution to this pain in my heart.
thnx

I know it's defintely tough. But one thing is you don't need a girlfriend right now. I'm not sure how old you are but seeing as I'm 14 almost 15 sometimes I think I can't get a guy either. Seems like every guy I like isn't available, and i was in a lot of pain to. But then I realized something, dating someone is for marriage and maybe God is just trying to save me from giving my heart out to some guy and I met and save it for that one awesome guy. Don't worry about the girls when you meet that really great girl it will be cool to be able to tell her you haven't given your heart away, it will mean a lot to her. My "boyfriend" is God right now. I just stay close to him and he fills my heart so I don't have any pain. Sometimes I'll want one but the I'll just think of that awesome guy to come and how much I want to save myself for him. Talk to God about how ur feeling ask him to help fill ur heart and take away ur pain. Good luck, sry to hear u seem like a really cool guy. :)
well, a while back my friends all got along, but then randomally they got in a fight and split up. now we are ok but i still feel tention between us and i dont know what to do? how can i confront them and fix it all.
-needy
Um...r u one of my friends lol? well yea that happened between a friend and me. And I sorta broke off the friendship..it wasn't working and I thought the other person was rude and disrespectful. My other friends were great they wanted to help but one key thing they needed to remember was taht I didn't want them to fix something I was trying to end. It's all worked out now (that friend and I still arent friends) but my friends and I still hang out without her...or them without me and we're all cool. hope it all works out i know it's stuff! good luck babe
I got my first period at the end of July (thankfully right before HS started) and it lasted about 2-3 days and that was it. Haven't gotten it since. Now, I am scared that i am gonna get it some random day at school, and i don't know how heavy it would be or anything. So here are my questions::
1. Is it normal to take this long for the 2nd period?
2. If and when i do get it, will it go down my leg at school or will it just be a little on the first day that it comes?
3. What is the maximum amount of time between one period and another?
Thank you!
ok here's some advice:
1.) YES it is normal..it happened to me. I first got my period at camp (no joke lol) and then it didnt' come till months later.
2.) um...no I guess it depends on how heavy you are..most likely you'll feel something sorta weird..such as ur peeing ur pants (but it shouldnt be too much) and u'll be able to catch it and go to the nurse and get a pad. or if ur concerned were a sorta light pad (not lightdays) everyday till u get it (sry that's sorta bad advice!)
3.) At first you're period is going to be very irregular might take couple years, months to get regular. but when you did get regular it's usually every 21 days or to put it simplier about the same time every month. if you start to get it on july 4th then august 5th expect it to be around the first 6 days of the months or so.
good luck dont worry and be prepared!
idk why im doing this its like i cant help myself, its like this..im forcing my self into solitary confinement, where i'd be alone im pushing everyone away but i dont think they really notice im pushing away at everyone i love, my friends my girlfriend even my sister who is the prety much like my gaurdian angel..i dont know whats wrong with me.. i guess i just snapped during school, but im using what sanity i have left to ask whats wrong. i dont have any reason to do this its wierd but i cant help it. its like im addicted to being alone..idk..its wierd i guess in myself i think that the answer to not being alone is by forcing myself to be alone and the less people care about me the less i care about me to, call me an attention whore call me what you want i dont know wtf is wrong with me.but i'd still like some advice. i've considered suicide millions of times and i've attempeted it god only knows how many times. im starting to be convinced that something wont let me die. i know that doesn't make sense, but it does to me...Am I Addicted to the Pain & Sorrow of Isolation?
that is perfectly normal. Sometimes we just don't understand exactly why were so upset when everything is going just fine in our life. i dont want to say it's depression cuz for me there was nothing to be depressed about. I just wanted ppl to stay away from me, yet i loved them. i think that's what u were trying to say? w/e the case don't take away all ur time of being alone. It's always nice to be alone. when you are alone write down ur feelings or listen to music. express yourself in a non-violent way. Maybe talk to ur sister or something, and when you can hang out with ppl. Make sure you don't push them away. Don't attempt suicide, i don't see what it accomplishes you're taking away something that's not yours. Sorry if u dont want to hear it but it's God that isn't letting u die. Maybe he doesnt want you to die yet. I dont know if you know Jesus or anything but mayb you should talk about him to someone. If your asking y there is pain in ur life...mayb it's cuz ur rejecting jesus. anyways about suicide I think it's a bit selfish ur making those grieve around you. anyways stay close to friends, express yourself, and talk to someone. good luck, I really hope u get better! (sry this was so long)
ok well latley i havn't been myself and i don't know how to fix it. i meen i pray and stuff and i am a strong christian . but i dunno it is wierd cause i don't even know who me is when people say your name you feel like you are somone when i hear it is like just my name nothin speacial just a word that was given to me. and it is wierd cause when i pray latley bad things seem to happen like in some way i get hurt emotiionally my friend hates me or somthing of such matter.
so here is the question how do i firgure out who the real me is again the one that everyone knew that i knew. the one who can think clearly
thnx
everyone goes through those kind of times. I did too. I guess in a way I've always thought of my name as just a word. Try writting down charactics about urself that you have. like funny, nice etc...and try to attach them to ur name when u hear it. I know it's hard but pray about it. Don't blame God for ur hard times, mayb ur falling away from him and he wants u back. Make sure you do ur quite times. Just remember God might be testing u and ur faith right now stay strong pray and ask God to show u who u r. Good luck I hope u find urself sweetie! ur sister in christ, danae
Everytime i leave my 1 year old puppy alone, like when i take my brother to work in the mornings, and there is nobody up to watch him, he always gets into things. Like this morning, he chewed my clock, and my medicine *was way out of reach* was in the floor chewed on. Thankfully he didnt get any of it though. My question is, 1. how can i stop him from chewing on things that he is not suppost to, and 2. is there other way other than locking him up in his carrier?
aww I love puppies..lol. that's not my advice though. we have a dog who just turned one and one of his favorite things to do was chew on everything inside. We put him in his crate now when we leave but sometimes its hard to do that. My puppy (even when we were home) would find a hardback book or something and chew on it. Go to petsmart or your local petstore and buy a spray product that taste bad. Spray it on whatever items that you're dog chews on. We got one called sourapple and the moment we sprayed it he never touched it. If that fails or you don't know what he chews on close ur doors to ur rooms or places u dont want him to go and if there isn't a door try getting a gate or putting him in a crate. good luck!
Ok so here is the deal i wanna tell people about god. and i know that it is a good thing andi have planned to sing at this years talent show. like a gossple song i dunno what i am gunna sing but i do know i am gunna do it but what i don't know to do is
how to show people that i am a strong christian.
how do i approach people into asking god into there lives and stuff
thnx
aww that's such an awesome question! If you didn't already guess I'm a christian too! ;) I'm assuming if ur a strong christian (sry if I'm wrong) that u go to church. If I was you I would pick my favorite hymn...upbeat song or something u sing at church. When you go to church listen and when something really catches ur ear try to learn that. For me I love the song Hungry, or Isn't he. There are so many that I love. As for the sharing with people. first of all, I have a passion for showing people that I am a christian too. I think one of the best ways to start off showing that is being happy all the time. showing christ's love to everyone. then slip in a few words about him mention church and ur bible and things like that. then when u've built a relationship with a person u can start to share the gospel. good luck don't let anyone bring u down! much love, your sister in christ,

Bare with me, this could be long. Ok well it starts off about 3 years ago, I was involved in a roll over car accident and it knocked out 2 of my teeth because i wasn't wearing a seat belt, and I was partially ejected from the car and i was stuck and yadda yadda yadda, it was horrible, and it screwed up my knee so now i've had 2 sugerys no my knee, the last one puts me in a leg brace. Anywho, Then earlier this year, i was involved in another accident(yea i know, if i didn't have bad luck i'd have no luck at all) where the driver and I and all the other passengers were looking at a murder scene when we smashed into the back of a cadillac and the airbags were deployed, and my foot was screwd up so i missed like 3 days of school, blah blah blah, so now it being early october and all this happend 3 years ago and the other one happend near the end of last year, like a year ago. So now we get to my problem. Now whenever I get into a car, I start freaking out because i think what would happen if the driver were not paying attention, so every time I see brake lights, I grab onto something and start to make noises, not quite a scream, and stuff like that, so i was wondering if that was normal after things like that have happend to me?, oh yea, by the way, my dad like to scare the crap at me by going full speed towards a wall, then my whole family laughs as i try to keep the tears in, but i dont want u guys to feel sorry for me, anywho, i was wondering if you guys think i sould seek therapy or something to get over this problem? Because these incedents have made me never want to drive. Should i try to get over my fear by seeking therapy, that is what im asking, if you could help me it would mean alot to me and i will rate you high if i like your advice, thanks in advance
awww that's terrible ur family does that! (sry I know u didnt want me to feel sry for u but I can't help it!) anyways therapy is a good idea. take baby steps...for the first and foremost thing..don't ride in a car with ur family if their going to speed to a wall (until ur ready). try first getting into ur car with a trusted friend. just watch carefully and make sure everything is alright. once u've become comfortable with that start trying to drive urself. if anything these accidents should make u a better driver. once again that's what I would say but a therapist will be better! so sry good luck and be safe!
Okay my friend is kind of lets say gothic... everyone picks on him at school and sometimes they get down right cruel. He has rocks, footballs, popcans(full),anything they can find thrown at him. He is also now afraid the go to school because of everything that goes on. Well anyways I was talking to him tonight and he told me that he almost lit a house on fire and he is thinking about homicide.. to the kids that are mean to him.. should I tell someone so no one is hurt... but then wouldn't he get mad at me.. I dont want him to get sent away cuz all his mom has left is him.. but wouldnt it be wrong not to tell anyone and have someone get killed.. plz help and fast before he does anything stupid.. thanks
awwww...why r people such jerks sometime? just b/c he's goth...get over it! anyways yes you should tell someone. let me ask u this, would u rather have ur friend mad at u or 10 people from school dead and ur friend in jail being charged with murder..? I'd personally pick the first one. Tell someone so he can get help or therapy and the school can deal with all the people that have been throwing stuff at him. that is called harassment and the other kids could be kicked out! Talk to ur counciler or a trusted teacher but never back out of telling someone! if you just try to talk to him u might not be able to get threw or completley stop him. hope I helped and good luck!
Hey Hey,
Well one of my friends hurts herself becasue she is depressed and I found this out from another friend and I wrote a letter to the friend that was hurtin herself that she shouldn't do that and that too many ppl love her and that we don't know what we would do without her and she said that she just needs ppl to understand her and I said I would. But now the friend that told me about my depressed friend is mad at me because I supposidily promised her that I wouldn't tell anyone that I knew. I don't know what to do. Should I forget it? The friend that is mad at me was one of my best friends. HELP!
I think you should explain to your friend that this is a matter of your friends life. You didn't technically tell anyone that you knew because you told the person that's doing it! If you're ur friend was really a best friend then she should understand. Just explain that it was the best thing to do u have it all figured out with the friend that was cutting. Tell her that ur incredibly sry and u thought u were doing the best thing. just explain and make up! best of luck, i'm so sry ur best friend is mad hope i helped. :)
Alright I'm 15 and my boyfriend is 17. A while back, we were hanging out; and I guess you could say things got a little out of hand. Well, I recently found out that I was pregnant. Today, my friend Amber (who is also pregnant, but not from my boyfriend) pushed me into telling my boyfriend. He didn't freak out, but he was upset. He told me that it'd be too much of a burden to have a baby now, and so he told me he wanted me to get an abortion. I'm very against abortion. I told him this, and he respected my opinion, but still tried to push me in that direction. He also suggested this "safe baby" thing. I don't really want to put my kid up for adoption either, because I can just imagine how much it hurts knowing your parents gave you up. My boyfriend doesn't want to tell his parents either, but he said he will, but you can tell how reluctant he is. He told me he loved me no matter what, but it was too much of a burden. I know he's not going to dump me, but he is afraid to keep it because he's going to college next year nad still trying to figure out his own life. Someone please tell me what I should do.
Seems like at 15 you just don't have the time to take care of a baby. Neither does your boyfriend. First of all, don't get an abortion (I already see you're agaisnt it, my mom had an abortion and it ripped her apart) anyways I'd say have your baby and put it up for adoption. I know it's tough to think that you have to give your baby away but that's a consequence of messing around sry. yea it does hurt to have your parents give you up but trust me it's probably better for the baby. To give you a situation there is a woman in my church who just I think 2 years ago her biological son came to her (not her husbands son) when she was younger she made some mistakes and she put him up for adoption. Now he lives with his family they all get along and everything is great. it was a great reunion. I'd strongly suggest keeping the baby or giving it up for adoption. best wishes sry i know it's tough. Good luck!!!
ther is this boy who i know he keeps asking me out but i dont really like him. he is my friend and i dont want to hurt him. also everyone else makes fun of him and they call him gay. he is really nice but i dont know if i should go out with him what should i do.
oh I love these kind of questions...prolly cuz i mainly go through these! I've had a lot of guys who have asked me out that r guy friends...that I just plainly don't like (in that way) and I always felt sooo bad saying no! but then I realized...NEVER SAY YES! ok yea I've had 2 pitty boyfriends and they both sucked. u never talk it's always awkward...and ur embarrassed of the guy...bad isn't it? anyways just tell him that when u go out wiht a guy then when u guys break up most likely you won't talk anymore cuz it wont be awkward and u dont want that to happen! u wanna stay good friends and going out will jepardize it. hope i helped..sry ur in such a horrible position lol haha, :) good luck
I'm 14, and I have yet to wear a tampon! All of my friends do it, so I just pretend I do!.. I mean I've stuck one in there before, and it worked and it sticked, but I'm afraid like its going to go further, or I'm gunna try and pull on the stringy thing and its gunna break lose. Do you think any of those things could happen? Pllease help!
Yea tampons are scary. Usually every box of tampons has instructions inside and the directions will tell you how far to put it in. Everyone is different though so I can't tell u exactly how far. As for the string, dont worry about it! it WONT break..I PROMISE you! lol they wouldn't make tampons if the strings could break. besides even if it did go to ur doctor and they can help :) also it wont slide up trust me. and if you dont put it in far enough it will be painful. good luck, try talking to an expierenced friend, parent or adult. good luck and don't be scared! :)
I wake up every morning at least two hours earlier than my first class. I get up, take my dog for a walk, take a shower and get ready. You would think that all of that would wake me up enough to stay awake during my classes wouldn't you?
No luck for me. My hardest class is at 9 mondays and 9:30 wednesdays - Mammalian Anatomy and Physiology- and I am constantly falling asleep durring it. I try to take notes and sit next to the open windows, but it doesn't work. Coffee never seems to help me stay awake, and it gives me an upset stomach even if it did. Does anyone know of anything else that I could do to get myself awake and alert during this class? I don't want to just get a good grade, I actually want to learn everything and remember it all for my job in the future And this means actually paying attention in class.
Try cutting down what u do in the morning. I used to get up at 5 every morning and run (school started at 7:30) anyways my first class was SOO boring, so u would think after running all the energy would be pumping and that I'd stay awake. In reality once I had wasted half my energy running and I settled down i was more tired than when I hadn't even run. basically it was a horrible idea b/c I feel asleep in class (whoops). Try taking ur dog during the day or at night. take ur shower in the morning and that should save u at least an hour? anyways if u still fall asleep try drinking an energy drink. Not coffee or tea..cuz that puts me to sleep. My sister actually suggested to me an energy drink that is big. Its called elements fire, it has a fire symbol on the side and it says elements on it. It's a silver aluminum looking bottle and it's dragonfruit flavor. I think it's really good and it has a certain ingredient in it that's not caffine (although it does have caffine) that really really kicks in to make u hyper...trust me.
Hi..okay i have a kodak digital camera and i was just replaced the batteries, It was turning off but i guess it didn't turn off compleltely when I took the batteries out so when i put the new ones in it didn't work and it won't turn on. any ideas of how i could fix it? I also tried putting the batteries in differenely and a different pair of them. I don't kno what else to try! ne help is good..tnx soo much!!
Talk to ur dad! I know it's scary n all going to ur parents saying uhh I broke the digital camera but hey it's worth it. Don't sneak around it only makes things worse. mayb u just ran the batteries. or mayb u need to shut ur camera off all the way put in the batteries then turn it on? anyways it was a complete accident that u "broke" it. If u were just changing the batteries ya ok mayb u'll parents will get mad but it's better than say yea I was swinging it around when I accidently let go and it hit a wall and broke. And also it's better to get yelled at then try to fix it and break it even more..if that's possible lol. if ur too scared to talk to ur parents try the suggestions of cvs or something. go up to a person who works in the photoshop and tell them ur sitution and ask how to fix it. good luck sry my answer was so long for such a simple question! lol hope u get it fixed! :) (sry I like this smiley!)
I know this is really weird, but its really important to me to at least hear out what other people think about this:
Last year, i fell in head over heals love with one of my teachers. i really loved him. he made me feel like a better person, and i would do anything to make him happy (not stupid anything, but you know what i mean). he means the world to me. well i graduated, and i miss him like shit. i miss him so much. i go back and see him, and i'm with him ever chance i get. it's not that i care what my peers think of me or anything, but my friends get scared/nervous whenever they hear that i was with him or what ever. i want to be able to talk to them about this, but i'm not sure they'd listen. what do you think, and what do i do? Is there something like mently wrong with me, because it feels that way.
sorry this is so long . . .
That's a very difficult question...considering ur only 15 I'd say forget about the teacher. I'm not saying he's a child molestar or anything but child molestar know exactly what to say and make u feel great just so u will sleep with them. Then again my "aunt" (my mom's best friends who cant have kids so we consider her our aunt) married her teacher and they're a happy couple! but then again that was when she was older and not so naive. I understand how u feel. 15's a crazy hormonal stage...ur gonna like anyone who can comfort u and trust me older men r might fine lol. just forget about him and hey mayb if u guys meet up with ur say 20 then mayb ur meant to be! but now try to find urself a boyfriend of ur own age to keep ur mind off him. good luck, and don't do anything u will regret! :)
Are there such things as a Junior Olympics? This girl on my basketball team claims she went to Athens for the Olympics, and since she's only 13/14 she would be too young to play for the USA Junior/Regular Woman's basketball olympic teams. My brother says that there is probably one for kids, but it's only a sideshow and no one really talks about it. I don't disagree but I just want to check it out and see if there was one...
Yup there is a such thing as JO. Not sure if they went to the olympics...not sure if it's women's basketball or anything but there's a site called www.juniorolympics.com lol...little obvious. but anyways go there and it has pictures of the people in some of the junior olympics. hope I helped :)
