My name's Ammo and I'm here to give any help or advice on anything that I can. :] Firstly, if you were kind enough to come here and read up on me, I thank you.

I've been through a lot when it comes to relationships and life in general. I've seen and heard many things and have always felt it's nice to be able to share my experiences (both good and bad ones) with as many people as I can in the hopes that I can help others not make the mistakes I've made (and sometimes still make). Who knows, maybe there's a lesson or two I can learn from you as well.

I don't really use chat programs much anymore so e-mail would be the best way to get in touch if you wish to chat but if you really need to chat then I am able to do so via Facebook, Yahoo or MSN. I'm a very social person so don't mind anyone wanting to chat. ^_^

i'm 15/f and i get my hair dyed blonde frequently. like it would be normal, it wouldn't fall out or anything. well recently i got my hair dyed auburn and ever since then my hair falls out. like in the shower i'll scrub my hair and i'll find clumps of it in my hand. what do i do?! i'm freaking out and it looks so thin and flat (usually its very voluminous)
thanks

Hello.

I'm not actually certain what this could be. Did you use a different make of dye the last time as you may have had a side effect from it? Although frequently dying hair causes damage to it (I dye my hair red every time I get it cut) I've never known it to fall out as you've described. I think the best thing to do would be to have a word with your doctor about it who would be able to advise you better about what might be going on.

Hope I was some help.

okay so i had my period from the end of march to like april 4. it was unusually light and i usually get real heavy at least for 1 day. well the next week, i got it AGAIN. it was weird. but it was the same length (7 days) and i don't know if that's normal. should i see a doctor about this? because it was really random and weird.

It's not unknown for it to happen and I have known a few friends it has happen to before as well. Especially if they are usually heavy and at this time it was light after which you had it happen again.

I would think that everything was okay but each person is different and unique so it maybe worthwhile seeing your doctor just to double check and make sure everything is okay.

15/f
ok so i told my best friend(a guy)that i liked him alot. he didnt say anything back. we've both tried to have normal conversations but they always end up akward. i know he likes two girls right now. one of them is a girl from another school but he wasn't sure if he really liked her and i dont know who the other girl is. i want to ask him and normally if i hadn't told him i liked him and our conversations weren't so akward he would have told me. so i dont know how to ask him who he likes, his guy friends don't know. he's my best friend and i want our conversations to go back to normal. so how do i get normal conversations and how do i ask him who he likes???

Hi.

Admitting to a friend that you like them more than just a friend can be difficult specially with what happens afterwards if they don't feel the same.

I would imagine (thinking logically) that if he felt the same then he had the perfect opportunity to say so when you had told him how you felt about him. On the other hand he might be afraid of what might happen with your friendship if he tells you that other girl is you - I can't be certain.

Thing is this though, at the end of the day you were both friends who could talk to each other. So, talk to him about it. Tell him you took a risk telling him what you told him so you'd like to know if he has anything to say about it. If he says he doesn't then I guess that wouldbe your answer in which case you can tell him then he should forget what you had said and you want them both to be friends again. Hopefully in time then you may find out who this other girl is.

The reality of the situation is that it might not be you in which case it's his loss because it does take a lot of guts to do what you had done but if it is you then you have given him the chance to say so and to confess. If he decides not to do that (after two chances infact) then it may just be time to move on I'm afraid.

Are there ne ways to get rid of hunger pains? Like besides eating, that's obvious. I heard chewing gum makes your body think u r eating so u aren't hunger. Is that true? Let me know. Thanks.

Firstly I think I should say if you suffer hunger pains it's because your body is telling you that it needs fuel. The more you deny it the more damage you will do to your body so please don't starve yourself. If you have a problem with starving yourself or feel that you need to starve yourself I strongly urge you to seek professional help before you end up doing harm to yourself.

As for chewing gun... no, it does not get rid of the pain. From what I remember reading about the subject many years ago it usually made no difference and to some degree made it worse but you may want to seek a second opinion on this because I had read about it a very long time ago so am not 100% certain of my recollection of the details.

Im reading Life Of Pi - By Yann Martel for one of my classes and i was wondering what your opinions were on Can you or Can you not Practice Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism simultaneoulsy, why or why not.

I've not read the book I'm afraid but in answer to your question I would say no, it would not be possible to practice all three of those religions simultaneously.

Religion is a big barrier between people at the moment. There's been gender, colour, caste, sexual orientation, style, music tastes... the list goes on and on and all these little categories have divided people into more and more groups.

Those three religions are too different to be able to co-exist in one individual. Things that are said to be okay to do in one religion may not be in the next and vice versa. That alone would cause a clash of interests and would become a matter of which one do you listen to or which do you consider to be more important.

The thing is, that very thinking in the world today (which one is right or better) is what divides people in todays world.

Charles Caleb Colton once said, "Men will wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; die for it; anything but live for it." How right he was.

My boyfriend is friends with this girl, and they seem like theyve become closer lately...it all seems innocent, because theyre "friends", for example she went to a hockey game and bought him a souvenier, and he calls her, etc.. This only worries me because I have a hard time trusting him & before he was friends with this girl, he used to like her. She also used to like him. It doesn't bother me if he is friends with her; but more the part that he used to be interested in her, and she used to be interested in him, does bother me. I know i can't tell him who his friends should be, and i've confronted him about "does he still has a thing for her" or whatever, and hes denied it, and she has moved on as well (apparently) but ... like i said i just can't bring myself to trust him because apparently he told his best friend, **who told me**, that he still "kind of likes her". meanwhile hes dating me. ugh. it disgusts me... like i said i wouldnt care if hes giving her attention as friends, but i do care because he used to like her/she used to like him. and it all is perfectly innocent "friendly" stuff, but idk it just bothers me.. what should i do about the whole thing?

I can understand what you mean, if I were in your place it would bother me too. Has he ever given you any reason not to trust him at all thus far? I also have a hard time in trusting people but then trust is a very hard thing to come by nowadays and by many itis taken for granted so it's no surprise that a lot of people do find it harder and harder to trust.

The only thing that you really can do is talk to him about it and explain your worries (whether you tell him what his friend said is at your discretion). He may well have denied him still liking her a little because of fear of what you might say or think on the other hand it may not even be true but the only one who can really tell you is your other half. Tell him how much it is bugging you and you really want him to be honest with you and just see how it goes from there.

If he is sincere to you and loves you then either way he will not stray from the path with you. The problem with relationships though is that there is no guarantees of how things will work out one way or the other. It's always a risk. I really hope that you manage to sort this out with him.

I use to gossip and back bite alot. and even tho i have said sorry to all those i have hrut i know they still hold it against me. im trying really hard not to do it agian. i want to make it up to all those people i hurt and gain back trust. how do i do that? FASTest way possible!? i am trying really hard now. the only thing is when i say sorry they say its fine but they dont eman it. they say stuff behind me about how i was!
sorry about the randomness!
z

Trust is a very fragile thing. Can take a lifetime to gain it and the blink of an eye to lose it. Getting it back from someone whos trust you've betrayed makes it all the more harder because it then becomes very hard to trust that person again.

You have seen that you were wrong though and have done all you can to fix this by saying you are sorry - there's not much else you can really do. People will talk, that's to be expected because it can be hard to leave the bad side of yourself behind. But in time that will change but for that to happen you have to change too which you've already taken the first step to doing. I'm afraid there's no quick ways to gain back trust though. It will take time and you may have to put up with some nasty stuff (people thinking twice about wanting to tell you anything and stuff) but show that you can be trusted and are sorry for everything you did and eventually you will get your chance to prove you have changed.

I think everyone deserves a second chance so you should be given one too and I hope that your friends will give you that chance since you seem to have learned from your mistakes.

does anyone know how i can find the side effects for snuff because one of my friends told me that he saw my bff using snuff the other day.. PLEASE HELP

As far as I am aware snuff is the sniffing or chewing of tobacco in a powdered form. Prolonged use can have its obvious side effects as well as other serious health problems which I have listed below for you. I'm afraid even I am uncertain as to what some of these are.

- Periodontal decay
- Teeth abrasion
- Hyperkeratosis of the mouth mucous membranes Gingivitis.
- Leukoplasia
- Anomalies of the sense of taste: dysgeusia
- Problems with olfaction: dysosmia
- Spinocellular epithelioma of the oral cavity
- Dependence and withdrawl symptoms
- Halitosis: bad breath.

I hope that was some help.

my boyfriend wants to go further with me (like him fingering me, and me giving him a hand job and stuff) but i dont no i jus would feel akward doing that and i dont no why...i already feel akward making out and i dont no why i do..could someone please help me.

**im 16/f

There's nothing wrong with feeling awkward about it and it may just be a sign that you are not ready to take that step yet.

You could force yourself to do so but I have always found that when you feel you're not ready then chances are you really ain't ready so to give yourself some time. When you are ready to take that step you will know it.

As for your boyfriend, maybe talking to him about it and about you not being ready would be a good idea. If you already feel awkward about the making out part it's scary to think what you will feel if you feel pressured into going further. Yourbf will surely understand and wait until you are ready. I always think that a relationship consists of one person liking the other because of who they are and not how far you can go with them so if you do ask him to wait he will do. If he really just can't wait then I would question his motives and is reason for being your bf.

Is that enough for a website, if all pictures aren't hosted on the sever but something like photobucket?

That should be plenty of space indeed. 35 pages on my site took up about 220kb of space (1024kb = 1MB) so you should have plenty of space for the pages and maybe even the pictures, pending on their size, format and numbers. If you need any other help just let me know. :]

f/14 i just broke up with my boyfriend last night because yesterday jeremy that i have been liking way before me and raheem hooked up told me that he wanted to go out with me i said no because you are stupid!!!! because the time when i asked him out he told me no because he thought i was crazy but the real reason was that i already had a boyfriend and i practice being faithful so i didnt want so tell him yes while i was still going out with raheem so yesterday
i went ova there and i had on a granny hat and jeremy and tevin and them made fun of it so i brung it home and then i walked back over there jeremy came outside and i was trying to tell him what had happened and he didnt want to listen he was like you calld me stupid yesterday and now you want to talk to me now and i was like i had to do somthing last night i need to tell you and he was like noo i was stupid yesterday but today u want to talk to me today i was like but i really had to do somthing and he was like mann talk to me tomorrow or monday its too late now and i was like today is late but tomorrow and monday is earlier and he was like noo it would be better tommorrow or monday because i am with my peeps so.......... HE SHUT THE DOOR IN MY FACE!!!!!!!!!!!! but i had break up with raheem first!!!!! do u think when i tell him he will understand?? or you think i shouldnt even worry about telling him??????? .

Hi.

I got a little confused along the way but am I right in saying that the guy you like and want to ask out is the one who slammed the door in your face? I hope he's not like that all the time. :-/

Anyway, I think you should just chill and give him the chance to chill out too. Chances are he is just angry that he got called stupid after asking you out - it would probably knock a guy down a notch or two so he's just lashing out at you. Let him calm down and then talk to him and tell him your side of the story and see what happens from there.

Personally I think he should count himself lucky that you do like him as it's very hard nowadays to find someone who can be faithful as you demonstrated. Good luck with him. :]

my bf's best friend and his other friend asked me out.i said no of course but now their all fighting.i feel like its my fault but its not.their not even thinking about how it makes me feel but right now i feel like their treating me like a doll.my bf doesnt know that his bbf asked me out he just knows his other friend does.my bf and i havent seen or talked to each other for ages because his phone is broke.we are going back to school tomorrow.we dont go to the same school but im afraid my bf and his friends will have a massive fight.to be honest they all have a bit of a temper.i dont want any of them to get hurt because their all of my friends.is it my fault their like this?what should i do?i m feeling really down over this.

Typical behaviour for a bunch of guys really isn't it - to ask one of their friends gf out. :-/

I agree with the other posters reply too - you did the right thing and it's not your fault at all. I doubt they will let on to your bf that they asked you out in fear of what he will do or how he will react.

They will eventually get over it so don't worry about them. At the end of the day you did the right thing. If I had been in your bf's place I think I'd be really proud of the way you handled the situation especially since it's a very awkward position for them both to have put you into.

Try not to feel down about this - it's not your fault at all. It's just guys being guys... i.e. stupid. :-/

can someone type me or find me the lyrics to mike hirst's "misfit"? i tried googling it, but they're not there because the song isn't on his cd. thanks.

Took me a while but I managed to find them for you. :]


Misfit

Written by: Mike Hirst

I wake up and I'm the victim of everything I've done,
And all I seem to be.
But surely I am not complacent of what I have become.
So to your arms I run.

You built me to fly, but so often I fall,
Some days I feel the world's on my shoulders
But that's not right.

Everyday you remind me that I'm your masterpiece and tell me
Why I don't belong.
Oh this world is not my home, I don't fit in, but I am not alone,
I am not alone.

I often dream of second chances to change what I've done wrong,
Take back what I've done.
I sometimes get some funny glances, when they see me sing
About a God they cannot see (the Holy One...)

Taking the way/road home from nowhere,
And find that in your arms.
You are everything I've needed,
You're right where I belong.
And I will let your mercies guide me,
Even when all hope seems gone.
In my weakness you remind me
That you are God.

I am not alone, (Oh this world is not my home)
I am not alone...
no I am not alone, (I am not)
I am not alone.

i have this friend who drinks a lot!! and uses drugs and stuff :S he told m that he has started to urinate blood :S and he doesn't know waht could be ..obviously "go to the doctor!" but what do you think this might me?? please only answear if you know what your talking about or something. thnkx

My guess would be liver damage from all the alcohol and the drug usage wouldn't really help matters much.

It's hard to say exactly what it can be unless there's a qualified doctor here so my suggestion is he does go to the doctors to get himself checked out because urinating blood is usually a sign that there is something very wrong and generally is associated with liver damage. If he values his health he should seek medical help as well as helpfor his drinking and drug addiction.

hey i read your answer from that myspace question some1 asked. so yeah i just wanted 2 ask...is it safe 2 have myspace when you have privacy settings and only your friends can go 2 your myspace and see the pics?
i'm just wondering cuz i live in the UK

Hi.

I didn't mean to panic you about it, sorry. Myspace is safe and is like any other profile site but some people don't realise that certain information that looks innocent can be used to trace someone. It doesn't happen very often because it requires a lot of research and work whereas most online predators are just after a 'quick fix'.

If you have your profile set to friends only though you should be perfectly safe becuase that way if anyone wants to add you they would have to contact you first.

I had an e-mail a friend had sent me a little while ago actually that would have shown what I meant by how persistant people can piece together little pieces of information that may seem innocent to find out where you are but I couldn't find it. :( An example however would be things like towns (narrows the search so people know what area you're in), schools name (generally people live local to the school they go to so again it narrows the search down to a local location), surname (used with previous stated information it can be used to look up various information), pictures (if they know the school and have your picture they can just wait outside your school till they spot you and then follow you to find out where you live). Even details like the times your parents are out, what time no one is at home - all of this can be used by someone who is twisted enough to make use of it.

It doesn't happen often but it has happen before and is why a lot of people stress to be more careful when online. It's unfair to say everyone is a pervert that you meet online because not everyone is but there is always the risk that someone can be. Just as long as your careful you should be just fine. :]

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to stop this website from showing in my History everytime I visit.

I would like to keep other searches eg. Google, youtube. I'd just like Advicenators to not show up everytime I visit.

Thanks

I'm afraid there is no way to actually filter sites from your history but you can after each session just clean out your history folder which would remove any signs of the site being visited.

Alternatively you might want to try doing a search for a program that can do it for you after each internet session. I am not able to get onto my main PC at the moment (it died recently) but a piece of software I had on there had an option to clear the history after each internet session or at the next pc reboot. There may be a piece of software floating about on the internet that can beused specifically to wipe the history each time you finish using the Internet.

Everything about my life is hopeless. Don't tell me to "Thing positive" becuase that's not an option. I can't stand where I live, I have no friends, and there's absolutely NO guys that I'm attracted to the slightest bit here. I wrote in before, to tell about how the only guy I really like right now lives in Germany.

Whats the use in doing anything anymore? I work out 2 hours every day so I can look good, I spend hours perfecting my makeup and hair, but noone's looking at me.

What do you think I should do? Should I just give up for the time being seeing that I know most boys in my age group and I hate them all? I have a fake boyfriend right now, meaning I got some random guys picture and said he was my boyfriend. Should I "break up" with him and get back in the dating game? (Even though the only person I like right now lives in Germany...)

I have no doubts that you are a lovely person so I'd say get rid of this fake boyfriend. You don't need a fake boyfriend when you can get someone for real. If any of the guys there are guys you don't like then you still don't need a fake one, you're better than that.

If people don't look at you though don't take it to heart. You can't please everyone. I accepted a long time ago that there are a lot of people who just won't give me the time of day. I also realised that people like that can go to hell. I don't need people like that and neither do you. You may not like anyone in your age group where you are but you did say you have no friends - if you have that positive glow about you people will come and talk to you, they will want to get to know you and be your friend, it worked on me anyway.

Most importantly, don't give up hope. I've been there many times when everything just felt hopeless - I think everyone goes through it at one point or another. Keep your chin up because things will improve and get better and improve.

i submitted this question once already but it like didn't go through so i fixed it up a bit..

alright well..

one of my friends has very strict parents. so they were looking at her search history and found her myspace. they also found mine.

i'm not aloud to have a myspace. my parents made it very clear that if i had one, i'd be in deep trouble. i wouldnt be allowed on the computer for a long time and when i am allowed to my parents would watch my every move. so on AIM, i cant talk to anyone about private stuff.

i deleted my account already but i dont know what to do. my friends dad said hes going to tell my parents. her dad is going to say he saw it a few days ago so there's no hiding that i actually did have one.

i really don't know what to do. i don't want to get in trouble and loose my computer rights. last resort would be to come clean but i don't want to have to do that. i need to get out of this situation. i really need help, and FAST!! please, does anyone have any advice?

thank you sooooooooooooooo much. you dont know how incredibly bad i need advice.

Hello.

This is probably a fairly late reply to your qustion but I felt I should reply after reading a few of the other responses.

As you said yourself your parents will eventually find out so there is no denying it at all. The best thing you can do is come clean. I think your parents will appreciate it coming from you than from them finding out from someone else. Tell them you was wrong to do it and that you're sorry but you have deleted it and you will face up to their punishment for not listening to them.

In response to something that twistedsister17 said, those people that do get murdered and raped from the Internet are NOT stupid people who told everyone where they live and all that junk. Lets be clear on something (this is why your parents want to be careful about you telling strangers anything about yourself) it only takes small amounts of 'innocent' details to piece together where a person is from and where they live. Here in the UK it is even more easily done. If someone really wants to find you they can if they have the right information.

I am NOT saying this to scare anyone but this is coming from a person who works at an Internet Security Agency dedicated to protecting kids online from these undesirable kind of people so I do know what I am talking about.

You need to put yourself in your parents place as well. They have made these rules for you for your protection because they quite obviously care about you. Sometimes that is really hard to understand until you are grown up and have kids of your own and you find the situation reversed. Coming clean to them and letting them know you know you made a mistake and that you are sorry is the best thing you can do.

How do I get rid of my top friends on my profile, but still have a link so veiwers can still view all my friends?

You can't get rid of them completely from anyoptions inside myspace settings unless you just delete all of your friends. There is an option to select how many top friends are shown and I think the minimum you can select is 3 or 4 so that might be one option.

The other way is to use a css layout that has been pre-made. If you do a google search for 'myspace layouts' it should give you a good load of sites you can have a look on and see if any of the layouts there which hide the top friends suits your needs.
