If you run away and get caught, what kind of trouble could you get in? (link)
|
Not half as much trouble as you could get in if you DON'T get caught.
A young person alone is a target. Muggers, predators, sociopaths of all descriptions will take advantage of a runaway. The world is a very harsh place and kids who run away frequently die in horrible, horrible ways.
If you feel you have a genuine reason to run away - if it's not safe for you at home - you should tell an adult that you can trust. A good place to begin would be your school. Be honest and forthcoming when describing your situation; do not make things sound worse than they are or trivialize serious matters. Major consequences can follow if Child Protective Services gets involved, so it is imperative that one tells only the real, whole truth. You will need to have that much on your side.
If you're talking about running away with the INTENTION of getting caught so that you can "teach your parents a lesson" or something like that, then that's a whole different story. It's a petty, cruel, and childish way of getting revenge, it will reflect very badly on your character, and it will very likely backfire on you in a big way. DON'T do it.

this summer i want to read a bit more. (about 15+ books.) so far, the only book i have is TWiNS by William Morrow.
anymore books? thxxx much (link)

Perhaps you could try reading them in chronological order. Start with "Beowulf" and work your way up to the present day.
Oh, and anything by Douglas Adams is pretty good.

My boyfriend is OBSESSED about the sims! He almost never stops playing that stupid game I dont understand it! When he got fired from work he had the gall to say 'I was low in aspiration!' I just want to smack him! Last night he wanted to have sex and he asked me if I wanted to 'woohoo'! I asked him if he was making breafast and he said 'sorry honey, my cooking level is too low' I'm so mad! If he says 'woohoo' one more time I might clock him! Please help me how do I get some sense into him? (link)

Leave the room whenever he makes a SIMS reference. If that doesn't work, leave the relationship. This isn't a trivial thing; he knows it bothers you (presumably) and yet he keeps doing it. It is disrespectful.
Oh, and next time he asks you to "Woohoo", direct him back to his computer and sweetly tell him that all the action he's getting tonight is right there.

I had recently go highlights and didn't like them, so I dyed my hair dark brown. but it came out darker than I expected and now my face looks a little pale.
What time is it best to sun tan? (link)
|
The best time to get a suntan is 1986, because that was before they found out it caused skin cancer.
Go ahead and be a little pale while you're waiting for your hair to grow back out. What harm does it do? If you really can't deal with it, make an appointment with a cosmetologist and discuss some makeup options.

Ermm.... I'm a 15 year old girl, and when I was 10 my grandma gave me this teddy bear for my birthday. It's very cute, with brownish fur, and little button eyes. And it has a green vest. I named it "Mr. Paddington". Lately, something weird has been happening. Whenever I've been around it I've felt... odd. As though I had a crush on it. Now I'm embaressed to change with it in the room, and at night when I imagine my first kiss, it's Mr. Paddington I imagine having it with. I've told my friends that I'm dating him, but they think I'm joking.... I'm afraid to tell anyone for real, because what if they took him away? I was just wondering if this is normal..... and if I'm allowed to someday marry my teddy bear? (link)

Sounds like a cute bear.
First of all, there's no need to simply imagine your first kiss being with Mr. Paddington. Go ahead and kiss him for real. I guarantee he won't tell anyone.
There's no need to be concerned about getting bare in front of your bear. Just turn him to face the wall. If he whistles or makes suggestive comments, then you DO have something to be concerned about.
Feel free to continue telling your friends about your special relationship, unless of course you want to keep them.
It is certainly not normal behavior, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's crazy (in this case, though, it IS crazy). Don't tell anyone, because you're right - they WILL take him away. I know I would.
If you do decide to get married, you'll probably want to do it in Nevada or someplace else where you can avoid the blood test. He will probably need to sign the marriage license; better start working with him on that now, as I imagine he doesn't know how to spell "Paddington". However, you might want to think about whether he will be able to provide a good home for you and your children, and I suggest that you do not immediately file a joint income tax return.

ok so the problem is that theres this guy i really like. hes cute, smart, funny, sensitive, and just super sweet. he likes me too. let's call him john. my family don't like john cuz they say hes not ur average boy. w/e doesn't make sense but i have to agree so no one will get mad. i'm on a trip right now. but, i'm afraid the family will make me tell him off when i come home. important info: checks EVERYTHING on myspace. reads every comment, message, etc., watches everything i say on AIM and tells everything to write (i don't have a choice), checks my cell phone every day. none of these are options to talk to him. but should i explain the situation. or what do i say? i kinda like john. but, wat do i do? i need advice fast. i come home sunday and i don't want to talk that way to him! i need advice and i need it fast. i can't just say "my family doesn't like you but i do" i need a way for him to know that my mom is the one talking and running my myspace. help me quickly please! and i can't just tell my mom i don't want to sign on. she'll go on for me and start responding to people. thank you!

There's a lot here that you haven't said. Without knowing how old you are, for instance, it's hard to know how to advise. Also, you failed to mention specifically who in your family has a problem with John. If it's your older brother, then it's really none of his business, but if it's your mother and/or father, you should take what they say into account.
Your mother has no business logging onto your MySpace account and pretending to be you. That is dishonest and deceitful. You should immediately change your password or cancel your MySpace account. If you are under 18 then your parents have the right and responsibility to monitor your online activities, but not to tell lies under your name. This is an issue that needs to be settled seperately from John.
As far as John himself goes, you need to determine whether a relationship with him (friendly, romantic, or otherwise) is worth causing a rift between you and your family. You should also think about whether there's any chance they will ever warm to him. My family didn't like my wife when I first met her, but they have done a complete turnaround since then, so sometimes it works out.
Your question is really vague on the details. What do you mean by "not your average boy"? Are you saying he has an unusual personal style, or that he's a chess prodigy, or he's ten years older than you, or what? When you say you "kinda like" him, is this another way of saying you're attracted to him as a potential boyfriend, or do you really just mean that you kinda like him? Without knowing these kinds of details, I can't offer advice on whether you should follow your family's lead or take your own path.
Whatever you tell John, you owe it to him and to yourself to make it the truth. Do not "tell him off" just because your mother wants you to. I would recommend that you begin by telling him, however you can, that your mother has been using your online account and that what he reads under your name is not necessarily coming from you. If your mother is able to spy on that message, then so be it!
That's all I can say without knowing more about what's going on. Best of luck to you.
