In new york state, how old do you have to be before you can legally live on your own?
you can legally live on your own when you legally no longer have a guardian... so when you are classified as an adult, which is when you are eighteen. however, if you have a terrible family life you may be able to be emancipated at 16, but you have to go through this long ordeal and prove that you can support yourself. the living by yourself thing isn't as important as the legal guardian thing. you are your own person when you turn eighteen. and when you are a minor, you can't rent an apartment, or have a credit card in your name, or have a house in your name. there would be no way unless you lied about who owned the house. it's a bit complicated. but yeah, eighteen :)
(14.f) Sorry if its long.
Okay well,I noticed that I sweat sometimes and then it starts to stink now..I asked my parents for deodorant,but they said it's "bad" because it covers your armpit and you can't sweat,etc.etc. I want to use deodorant 'cause I'm worried about school.It's just that they won't let me! They also say like if you use it, then you have to use it more and more and then you might get cancer or whatever at your armpit.What can I do? How do I make them know that I need it? Even my mom uses it sometimes, but then shes like, see even I don't use it alot!
Then I have another issue about my body hair on my arm and my leg.As you see, for PE,I usually have to wear capris or sweat pants, but my gym teacher says I should wear shorts.Well I mean I want to wear shorts on like hot days.But instead I wear capris.But now if I wear capris, you can then see my leg hair.AHEM,once again, I cant shave,wax,or use those lotion/spray to remove my hair!A lot of my classmates don't have hair and they can wear shorts without looking bad.I also have some on my arm.Well its better then my leg.Its much more skinnier, but now my leg hair is more thicker.Well I don't want to shave anyways..I heard waxing hurts..I wanna use that lotion/spray thing.But Since I have bad skin(dry, etc.), my parents say like,"what are you thinking?!?you know you have bad skin,if you do use it then don't tell me when its red or whatever.I won't take you to the doctor, and then starts giving me a lecture.Well none of my parents or aunts have body hair,I'm like the only one. Except my dad has some.BUT NOT A LOT LIKE ME.Well he's a guy so I don't think they should be so caring about it anyways.Well..I'm a girl so I care..Is there any way?!?!?!?!? I really wanna get rid of the hairs on my leg for sure!!
ANY ADVICE, I WOULD APPRICIATE!!! Please help.. Thankss!
hmm, about the deodorant thing, that is just really weird of your parents to say that. of course deodorant doesn't make it so you "can't sweat"... that's what an anti-perspirant is. most deodorants have anti-perspirants, some don't though. it should say on the packaging. anti-perspirants are to keep you from sweating, because there is a certain "b.o." smell, and a certain "sweat" smell. the deodorant covers up the b.o., which is a lifesaver for society today. can you imagine if nobody ever wore deodorant? the world would smell like a cow pasture. also, deodorant isn't going to give you cancer. so i don't really know why they're arguing with you because all of their claims are just dumb. here's what i would do. depending on your living situation, if you have a grocery store or something within quick walking distance from your house, while your parents are out for a few minutes, you could walk there or ride a bike and get what you need. here's something else... ask a friend to buy it for you. explain about your parents and their weirdness, and your friend will definitely get you some! i know i would if somebody asked me. i have to go, but about the body hair: i read a thing on msnbc.com where it is proven that people really don't notice leg hair on other people. you could also have your friend buy you a razor/whatever, but that would be obvious. if you have a friend buy you deodorant, keep it hidden if it makes your parents angry that you have it. if your parents are concerned about your dry skin, do they know that momst razors have a moisturizing strip? do they know about a thing called lotion? bring this stuff up again, and be kind of polite, and if they say no, have somebody else get it for you. do you have older siblings? they could get stuff for you too. well, i have to go, good luck :)

what are some good costume ideas for a group of girls to do? (not sure how many yet)
okay, my friend came up with this last night (and we are probably doing this too so i hope you guys don't live in her neighborhood if you decide to do this, haha)... okay, the spice girls, but instead of like the actual spice girls, dress up like spices (cayenne pepper, paprika, etc).
Ok so im going into highschool, and well i found the cutest out fit, but its a tube top, and well my school isnt SO strict about it, like after three weeks they don't care what we wear. But my question is On the first day of school do they really look out and care what we wear and stuff and were they really strict about it at your school? thankss
on the first day at my school, they're super strict about it. then they back off just a little bit around october. i would wear something over it, like a jean jacket? but yeah, you don't want to get in trouble on the first day, that's probably not a good sign :)
well if you've ever fainted before this is what it's like, or well this is what it was like for me when i fainted:
i started feeling heavy
my body was moving around in circles
i started getting hot
my eyes started to hurt
my eyes saw fuzz, like a broken tee vee
then i woke up and was on the floor
& had no idea what happend
that was a few years ago though, but im asking this.. everytime i get up i get hot and my eyes get fuzzy, like a broken teve and i start to move in circles a little, but i don't faint. it happens mostly evverytime i get up from sitting for about 15 - 20 seconds then it just goes back to normal.. why does this happen when i get up? do i need to drink or eat more? please help
13/f if that helps
this actually happened to me the other day when i was outside (i had been doing marching band practice outside for hours in the heat), i did basically exactly that except i sat down before i officially "blacked out"... anyway, the reason for mine was dehydration. make sure you're getting enough water! usually by the time you realize you're extra thirsty or feel dehydrated, you've already been dehydrated for quite some time. also, the standing up thing- you may not be getting enough iron. if you take a multivitamin every day, you should be fine because i doubt you're anemic. that actually happens to me sometimes too, the other morning when i woke up, i got out of bed, opened my shutters, and then i fell down. but yeah, the other day when i blacked out from dehydration, that is exactly what i was thinking... all of a sudden i broke out in a cold sweat, and i felt like i was moving around in circles, and it reminded me exactly of a broken t.v. being "lightheaded" or whatever when you stand up is supposedly normal to teenage girls, so you're not going to die anytime soon :)
Do you believe going into High School will give you a fresh start? I mean during elementary I was still popular but I was made fun of still quite a bit and alot of rumors were present. Do you think they will still be going around when i start grade 9? Alot of my friends say this is the summer where everyone changes. At my school alot of the guys said i was ok looking but none were ever interested in me and now I find a few high school guys think im hot but I dont understand how I can go from kinda ugly to hot in about a month. Does this all mean I get a fresh start? Or will grade 9 just be like grade 8 with just a few more people? Im sorry this is kind of confussing but all answers welcome. Thank You
it depends on how you act... if you act like you really want to make a fresh start, and then you make new friends, then yes, that is definitely possible! but if you go back to doing the same thing you were doing last year then there's really no change. try something new! there are tons of clubs and stuff. i started taking swing dancing lessons and i met tons of people! nobody will remember what happened last year because they are too self centered around the beginning of the school year. one thing though... unless somebody older than you specifically befriends you, it's probably a good idea to stay away from upperclassmen. not necessarily because they might think you're uncool, but because you don't know them like you know the people in your grade and they might not be the best of friends with you. i mean, i have upperclassmen friends, but i don't really go around making friends with older people to look cool. good luck, high school is fun :)
you know how when someone thinks something is really funny, and they laugh to where they cant breath? can u die from laughing like that?
well, i've never heard a joke funny enough for me to do that "quit breathing" laugh thing long enough to die... but i guess it is technically possible. i mean, after a while you would probably black out, which would really not be funny, so you would probably quit laughing. you can die if you start laughing, and then whoever made you laugh throws a raccoon with rabies at you and it bites you. but i've honestly never laughed that long... and i've laughed a lot, at lots of stupid stuff... after a while i kind of calm down.
im doing a summer reading literature letter on Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison, and i need one passage that really describes Georgias character. I read it towards the beggining of the summer, and waited until now to do the lit. letter, so i dont remember any particular passages that describe Georgias character.
thanks!
i haven't read it in a while either, but i pulled the book off my shelf just now and here's what i found:
from page 3:
still sunday
11:35 a.m.
There are six things very wrong with my life:
(1) I have one of those under-the-skin spots that will never come to a head but lurk in a red way for the next two years.
(2) It is on my nose.
(3) I have a three-year-old sister who may have peed somewhere in my room.
(4) In fourteen days the summer hols will be over and then it will be back to Stalag 14 and Oberfuhrer Frau Simpson and her bunch of sadistic "teachers."
(5) I am very ugly and need to go into an ugly home.
(6) I went to a party dressed as a stuffed olive.
and that's the end of the passage. on the word "Oberfuhrer", there are two dots over the U, but i'm not sure how to do that on a computer.
hi, can someone tell me how the american schooling system works? here in England, theres are a couple different variations, but the city i live in, and surrounding areas, the system goes like this:
5 years old-start year 1 of primary school
11 years old-year 6. last year of primary school
12 years old-start year 7 of secondary school
16 years old- year 11. last year of secondary school.
after that you can go in to full, or part time work while going to college, which is optional, and free. college is usually for about 2+ years and you earn A levels here, aswell as other like a2, As etc.
then you can choose to go to university, for 2-5+ years. you pay for this, and do one subject. if you stay for 5+ years, i thing you get a PHD and become a doctor.
i think some parts of london have high schools and that, but was just wandering what the American schooling system is. thanks.
usually when you are five you start kindergarten. this is basically where you learn shapes, colors, whatever, and also how to interact with other kids.
the next year is first grade. there are twelve "grades", and the ninth grade is the beginning of high school. ninth graders are freshmen, tenth graders are sophomores, eleventh graders are juniors, and twelfth graders are seniors. grade twelve is the last year. then, you have the option of going to college. there are 2 year colleges and 4 year colleges. at a 2 year college, you get an associate degree. at a 4 year college, you get a bachelors degree. most people go to a 4 year college to get a bachelors degree and then they start working. if you want to be a doctor, lawyer, dentist, or something like that, you go to a 4 year college and then you would go to grad school for like 2-3 years. a 4 year college is called undergrad, by the way. you don't have to go to college at all, but a lot of people do because you get a better job. i live in texas, and if i were to go to a college in this state, it would be like 7,000 american dollars for tuition only. anyway, when you are in college, you major in a certain subject. my brother is a lawyer, so he went to a 4 year college and majored in business. then he went to law school for 3 years. college is really expensive here, but if you are like a genius or really great at sports, you can get a scholarship. i hope this is enough info :)
i need an angry revengeful song .. perferably with the word FUCK repeeated in it .. haha any suggestioons??
thanks in advance!!!
"song for the dumped" by ben folds is pretty angry. it's a good song too :)
For my birthday I'm having a huge scavenger hunt in Boston, MA, with a bunch of my friends. The types of things to find are like "a hot guy" and take a picture with them, or something funny like that. I'm having a tough time figuring out too many things, so I wanted to know if anyone had some ideas. I'm turning 17, so it can be R rated. Haha, just kidding, but yeah you get the idea.
Message me online @ x3ashleyjean or message me through here if you have any questions or ideas.
Thanks so much. =]
some people i know had a video scavenger hunt, where each team had a little camcorder (you can ask your friends to bring one if they have one or something). and they went around town, and i'm not sure of what all they did, but one of the things was going into mcdonalds and ordering a whopper, or going into burger king and ordering a big mac. i think another thing was to go hide in clothing racks and start talking when people were looking at the clothes. the video idea is really cool because you can have people meet back at your house at whatever time, then you can sit around and eat food and watch the videos. oh, another thing you could have people do is go anywhere and try to find someone of the opposite sex to switch clothes with for five minutes. that would be hilarious! i hope your party is fun :)
is lucas grabeel from high school musical homosexual in real life? just wondering
no, he doesn't seem homosexual at all in real life (from what i've seen on tv). also, if he was, disney channel would probably discourage him telling his fans that because little kids might get the wrong idea or something.

Honestly, do you know how to check their website if their clothing is so popular?
Made is coming to my town. What are some cool things to be made into? I can't think of anything even though there are alot of things I would like to try. But for sure cannot think of anything super amazing, y'know? What would you like to see someone be made into? Haha. Thanks.
i saw a cool one where the people were made into rock stars. you could do:
boxing
skateboarding
acting
ballroom dancing
marching band (if you don't play anything)
or something. but make it something that you actually would like to do, otherwise it will suck! good luck :)
EDIT: i just thought of another one because i watched the disney channel movie "right on track" last night... a drag racer. i think that would be the coolest thing ever.
hey i have a school skirt thats way too long and my mom won't hem it anymore, so i have to roll it to make it shorter. but the problem is it's also too big, and i cant get a new one (i have really good reasons for that so dont suggest getting a new one=p)
so anyway, when i roll it theres a dent in my shirt so you can see that i roll it so how do i make it less noticeable or make it look shorter? and also how do i get my skirt to stay up? it keeps sliding down cause its so big!
any tips or advice? please answer soon i have school tomorrow!! all answers appreciated
like the others said, i think your best bet would be to make one big fold at the top and cover it up with a shirt. also, i'm not sure how this would work with your particular skirt, but could you maybe pin it under at the bottom to the length that you want? maybe you could learn how to hem it yourself, or take it to someone to be hemmed. if any of your friends sew, you could even get them to teach you or fix it for you. i actually had a skirt come apart one time and my friend sewed it back up for me. go to wikihow.com and they will probably have tons of info on how to make your skirt work. here is an article on hemming by hand: http://www.wikihow.com/Hem-Clothing-by-Hand

in that video what is that T necklace that gabriella gave troy? i don't understand that part.
okay, you know right after they sing "what time is it" at the beginning, and gabriella is cleaning out her locker, troy comes up to her. and he gives her the necklace that has the T on it. so then when they sing the song about breaking up or whatever, she gives it back to him. but i think she ends up wearing it at the end of the movie anyway.
where else can i buy tickets besides ticketmaster.com or other online places. i would like to buy the tickets so i won't have to pay extra money for convenience charge.
razorgator.com is the best. the day before eric clapton played in san antonio, my dad and i decided to go and we were able to get front row seats for it. it was pretty sweet. i'm not sure about the convenience charge, because i'm thinking that all online ticket things have that unless you buy from the box office at the concert or whatever, or from ebay.com. however, if you're going to buy online, razorgator is so much better than ticketmaster.
EDIT: the box office at the venue.

at a movie theatre, it is the place where you buy tickets.
Is there any songs that talk about like, how you'll be waiting for your guy. Like Elliot Yamin's song, Wait for you. Except with a girl singing it?
or any songs about missing your boy.
thanks.
hmm, all i can think of is "wait for me" by susan tedeschi. you can probably find a video of it on youtube.
lyrics:
Wait for me
You know i love you so
Tell tell me baby
That you dont have to go
But if i if i dont see you no more
Just remeber who was who walked out the door
Its so true
That parting is such a sweet sarrow
No way oh you may not be back tomarrow'
But if you ever change your mind
Call me up call me up anytime
I wait for the day
Oh when you dont feel this way
I'm gonna hold you
Oh I'm gonna hold you so close
Don't try to anylize
I'm gonna get to you
Its so true
That parting is a sweet sarrow
No way oh that you may not be back tomarow
But if you ever chacnge your mind
Call me up call me up anytime
Away from me
Away from me
Leave me
Leave me
Somebody anybody
Somebody anybody
Somebody please wait for me
What are some ways you can relax yourself from being too stressed out?
if i have a lot of stress or something, or if i'm angry or basically feeling any sort of emotion in excess- like a lot of happiness, or i'm really angry, or something, then i exercise and listen to loud music. i love to run, and even though i'm not great at it, it always makes me feel better. i also play music when i want to relax. make a special time for yourself everyday, and set a schedule for yourself. if you go to bed at 10, stop whatever you're doing at 9 and just sit and relax or read a book or something. i like to sit on my roof and look at the stars at night. so just find a little ritual or something that you can do like once a week, whether it's mowing your lawn or eating ice cream :)
on facebook, how do people get so many friends from the college theyre attending if they didnt even go there yet
they probably found random people to message so that they could go ahead and start making friends. also, i'm still in high school, but i have some friends that already graduated from my high school and are now in college. so that could be the case too. older friends, family members, neighbors, and stuff like that. or sometimes they go ahead and join the college network, and request other people from their year, and ask what dorms they are in and stuff. it's just a way of getting to know more people before you actually show up. but i think you probably read their interests or whatever, and if they sound cool, then you would message them i suppose.
