so...my name is Rebecca and I'm 17, going to be a senior in high school . i am currently at either the 2nd or 3rd spot in my class academically, but plan to graduate as valedictorian...so if you have a problem academically I'd love to help! i want to be a journalist (and kind of am), which means i may be a little harsh, but i do have a not-so-sharp edge (don't get me wrong, i can be sassy, I'd just rather smile :) ) . I love knowing that i can help someone and I'm actually of use to someone. When i was younger i was more shy, and all people knew about me was that i was a good friend and for the people i answer...i hope you think so too!
Also, God is big in my life. Like my whole life. And for anything I help you with...I give Him all the glory. It's all about Him and what He's given us. :)

14/f
I go to school with this boy that i like. he told my best friend he liked me too and that he was going to ask me out... now today he told her he liked someone more, and he didnt know if he was going to ask me out... what is he thinking. do i wait around for him or try with someone else?????
please help me!!!!!!! (link)
| |
if you really really like him i'd ask him out. he might actually like someone more, and if he does it'll be fine, but i'd take the risk. 1:because you'll never know if you don't try,2:most of the time if one peson likes more than one other person they' be happy if even one noticed them and 3:even if he doesn't reeeeeally like you because he doesn't know you, if you guys date he'll get to know you...it actually happens a lot. but either way be prepared for an "i don't think so". you don't want to get hurt. but i'd go for it.

I am a virgin and I have not done anything with my boyfriend, but my mom is accusing me of having sex? Why would she think that and what can I do? Is she possibly jealous because I have a boyfriend and she doesnt so she is saying things? (link)
| |
That is a definite possibility. or she could not be keeping in touch with you because she's too busy or something. either way it isn't your fault. she's probably like "she's a teenager, she's having sex". talk to her more. she probably has trust issues or doubts. get to know eachother and maybe she'll get it. that's my advice anyway.

hello is it possible for you to have a pimple in your ear? Because this morning i woke up and there was kind of a bump in my ear it hurts reall bad when i touch. I can touch a part of my ear where the bump is kind of my and it will kind of hurt. Is it a pimple? Please tell me soon this thing is really bugging the hell out of me and it hurts like a bitch. thanks please help!! :( (link)
|
yeah, you can. and yeah, that's it. it feels like an earache like 20 seconds after you touch it and when you first touch it you feel like screaming? yup. put a product on it. i recommend clean and clear persagel. it'll go away faster. and try not to touch it.

well,im really small (4"11) im 13,and i think i'd be cool if i was a cheerleader,because i can help out the team and stuff.but im scared at what people will think,its not that im punk or goth or anything like that,its just that stupid cheerleader label. i HATE it. bleh. but i still wanna try out..im kinda afaid that my friends wont accept me,but i thnk cheerleading will help me meet new people...and have more fun + give me more to do,so,how can i be confident about this? also do you need prior knowledge for this stuff,its only 8th grade...or is it? (link)
|
"cheerleader label"? don't even worry about that! when i was on the basketball team like 3/4 of us were hardly even known as basketball players. we'd be like "at practice.." and people would be all "oh yeah, i forgot you played basketball". not very flattering but atleast we weren't labled.
and if your friends are anything like mine and they think it's like stupid to be a cheerleader they'll probably just laugh for a second then something will distract them nd they'll forget about it.
don't let anything keep you from what you want to do, bottem line.

can you get a job if you're 14?
like besides babysitting i mean (link)
|
odd jobs...like babysitting.
in my town you can get a workers permit at 14 actually. it depends on where you live. actually your guidence counselers would know.
Ask them :)
|
okay,
big mistake, i know.
im pregnant, i have been for 72 days.
i took extacey.
just once.
is my unborn baby going to die?
i didnt know that could happen, my friends told me it could, and if so is there anyway to save it?
thanks (link)
|
um, hello, YOU DIDN'T KNOW DRUGS CAN HURT YOUR BABY!? well they can. it is a HUGE mistake when your pregnant.
but...it probably WON'T DIE. not from just once anyway. it can be dissabled though. go to your docter and check everything out as soon as you can. and don't do it agian! remember that. don't drink either, because if you do too much, and it does die, you won't be able to save it then.

I'm in algebra this year (8th grade)
I'm actually pretty lost, I'm a straight A student, except for the fact that I have a C in math. My teacher last year didn't do much teaching and we played around most of the year, this is leaving me more behind.
So, I pay attention in class, ask questions, and do the homework, but I still don't get it! Its very hard for me to pay attention because my teacher has a very southern accent and it drives me insane and she can't pronounce alot of words. She has one student teach the class also, which is annoying, just because she likes that student.
When I go in for extra help, she gives me a worksheet and tells me do complete it, then she leaves the classroom! She doesn't even explain it!
My parents keep suggesting a tutor, but it hasn't happened yet. Any other suggestions as how to bring up my grade? (link)
|
oh my gosh that sounds so much like how i felt at the beggining of this year only i'm in geometry and my algebra teacher last year didn't teach as much as she was supposed to. you should definently try to get a tutor if you really and truly do not get the work. you can probably ask the giudence counselers or even the other teachers at your school about them. but somehow i don't really think that's the problem but algebra and alot of other math after general is really step by step, so you don't like, say, need to know how to get circumfrence to learn how to get a totally different formula.
but if the teacher is actually the problem you might want to try to switch. teachers i mean. usaually theres an advanced teacher from another...group of 8th graders (we used to call them teams) and you may be able to learn better with them. ask the guidence counseler about that too.
well good luck either way!

alrite so i want this jacket really badly
http://www.abercrombiekids.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10851&parentCategoryId=12103&childCatgroupId=12103&categoryId=12172&productId=2&langId=-1
but my mom said we just dont have the money this year. she said i could get a job to earn money for it. i can babysit my neighbors but if i ask i dont want to be like "i need a new jacket so can i babysit ur kids" cuz then they would feel they had to go out like EVERY weekend. i need help SOON (link)
|
well if your 14 or over you can get a worker's permit and people will higher teens at like movie theaters, stores at the mall, "playlands" like Quigys or Chuckie Cheese's and stuff like that.
If not you might have to stick to stuff like babysitting. Or you can sell old stuf of yours or pratically new stuff you never used. that will get you money. or just save it if you get an allowence or money for lunch(take lunch and save the money).
Hope that helps. :)

what is a halloween costume that involves two girls? (something me and my freind can be together) (link)
| |
there are ones that seem kind of lame like hand cuffs and musterd and a hot dog but you could just like be the same thing. inmates, pirates, cheerleaders, etc. you could also do something like wondder woman and supergirl or like snow white and the villian in that movie or something like that. google holloween costumes. there are alot of ideas.

im 13/f
people with a cell phone and has ALL TELL, CRICKET, or VERGIN MOBILE which is better. I want to text alot and talk alot without spending alot so which cost less and which one is better (link)
| |
i dont know much about all tell or virgen mobile but cricket has unlimited texting and i think it has a really good calling plan too... but that's just because my freind has it. that's the extent of my knowlege.

at this events is all you do is just dance? like yeah i know stupid question but like they last for like 4 house is it continuious dancing?
(link)
| |
ofcourse not. you dance and talk to friends and eat if thay have food and....no most people usually just sociolize. you can take pictures and whatnot. it's more like just hanging out or that's what everyone at my school does anyway. but yeah, you don't dance for 4 hours.

Well.. normally Im a pretty outgoing, like laid-back kinda person.. not too laid-back, but I'm comfortable. Like around my family, and close friends. I'm really energetic and stuff, which is like the complete opposite of how I am in school. I dunno, but in school people usually see me as like a shy, quiet girl when my personality really isnt like that. like sometimes i feel like i shouldnt say some things, when its like my opinion.. i mean i raise my hand in class etc and im a good student, and i dont want to like fail or whatever, but i want to be as easygoing and more comfortable in school like i am in school and stuff, because sometimes it stops me from being friends with people and stuff when i know i'll get along with them and stuff. i guess it takes some time to know me.. and because of my softspoken and quietness in class, i got put in speech cause the teachers couldnt hear me when i could pronounce like all the words. i dont get it.. its like my voice kinda lowers and seems kinda dull and boring when i speak well sometimes, and like everyone in the class hears what i said except the teacher, of course. i mean sometimes i even pretty much shout it, and some kids like mumble and the teacher hears the mumble but apparently is deaf to me speaking?!? like i always have to repeat stuff. i mean seriously.. maybe i should just not care about what people think cuz sometimes i wonder if i say something like really weird i dont want to be labeled like that, when people like my friends really know me and wouldnt judge me like that. and ya i love myself and stuff but i dunno why i do that. i try to stop doing it and be like more outgoing every day, but sometimes i feel less like a kid and more.. like strict and junk, when i dont want to entirely be that way, and like be more flexible and stuff. i guess i'd like tips on how to be like.. more comfortable in school and stuff? or overall. thanks a junks for helping! =] (link)

wow. i was reading the first part of this and i was all this girl is JUST like i was! i just siad that in my last question too. i told them that i just mostly hung out with my close freins...mostly my best freind and we met new people together so when i could talk loud or, um, normal to her and then since we were talking to another person i could talk to them like that. if a teacher sees you being outgoing it won't really matter if you speak loud in class. actually they probably just do that because they assume your naturally quiet, that's why they here the mumbling kids. and yes i used to feel "strict" or w/e but you let it go when you're having fun and laughing your butt off at nothing with your best friends. you jsut need to get out there and make some. AND SAY WHAT YOU THINK! really. the cool people will respect you for it. don't worry about being labled. just chill. it's not that hard. i though it was but it's not. so just be yourself would you.

This my new year, 7th grade, and I want to make new friends and stuff. But sometimes I feel like some of my friends are like settling.. and dont really wanna make more friends. I mean, they are good people, but they just arent like me and my personality. Sometimes some of them are like tired for no reason and it really annoys me, especially cuz i may sleep for like 4 hours and still be energetic in the morning. yah we have our differences, but i'd like to meet somebody who i can just really have a good time with, and know that they seriously are my best friend. i already have some.. but.. idk. i dont really care if they're popular or anything, just not like butt ugly or whatever, and have similar interests as me somewhat,and stuff. or maybe im just being too tough and 'not appreciating my friends' but sometimes i feel as though they're kinda.. um dull.
any tips on how to meet new people? i guess i also tend to settle, and i get a little shy around new people and dont really show them my real self till they get to know me and i trust them and feel comfortable around them and stuff. how can i be like more outgoing or something? thanks a bunchh.
also, what traits do you admire about a person? (link)
|
well can't you just keep your old freinds AND make new ones? you can do that you know.
as for making new friends though joining club or like doing new things (join a team or your youth group or something) is the obvious answer. also, since you probably just started middle school, get to know the people around you. i know you said your shy, i used to be like that too. mostly i hung out with my best friend who i can talk to about almost anything and we kind of met new people together so i could be talk casually to her then start talking casually to the person we're talking too. once you do it you see it's really not that hard.
and admirable triats. as cliche as it may sound...be yourself! if your not usually peppy or something and you think that might be an admirable trait, you don't have to just get peppy. just be friendly and talk about stuff you guys have in common or a teacher you guys don't like or something. but you should keep your old friends. you can't have too many friends.

Heyy y'all :D
I'll get right to it -
lets say there was a list of 10000 different classes you could take, everything from cooking to selfdefense, what class would you take? ölike, what would you actually ENJOY doing (not like math and physics haha) what seminar would you willingly go to, to hear about a class..
so basically, if you could invent a class that doesn't exist what would it be?
or have you ever been to some kind of class that you would love to go to again or even have as a real class in school?? (link)
|
fencing or martial arts. i've always wanted to sign up for one of those classes.
also, i'm in band, newspaper and going to be in creative writing. they all totally rock. i love to write.

Ok first off this is to deal with my friend and me. my best friend plays soccer and everyonce in a while we play against her team. but I sorta like her in a more kind of way. so I kinda go easy on her. because I could beat her tail in a skinny sec. but I don't know if she likes me. she is one of my best friends. so advicenators, do you magic. HELP. if they help, I will rate nicely. and fairly, sup4321 (link)
|
love life or sports? hmm...
i'm j/k. don't go easy on her just because you like her. all good athletes are supposed to put their personal feelings aside while in the game. it's the same if you were like figghting with someone on your team or something. forget about it, play, then pick it up agian later. hey, if anything you should impress her. if she knows how the game works...she can't get mad just because you like scored the winning goal or something. she should be proud of you. and if you think she might like you go for it. but it still shouldn't affect your game. that help?

ksooo. i just started highschool like 2 weeks ago.. yeah and im a freshman..well in my school they let us go out to lunch (although theyre like changing it next year supposedly :[) well anyway. i have the same lunch with my 2 best friends, plus these 3 other girls im friends with. well my one best friend lives like a block away from the school, so my 2 best friends and i have been going there like basically everyday except for like 2 days. well, i love going to her house, since i dont really get to talk to them as much, and its a nice way to catch up and everything, and talk about things we cant with the other 3 girls. but now i feel bad. like one of the girls keeps asking what we're doing for lunch and stuff. and i feel bad like they think we don't want to eat lunch with them. now, i'd love to. if it was MY house, i'd let them over everyday. but it's my best friends house. and for some reason she's not allowed to have them over. well what should i do? i don't want those other girls to think we don't want to hang out with them. they're like my only other friends and i dont want them to think i dont like them anymore. (link)
| |
well you coul find a mutual place all of you can go...like a park. or if all else fials stay at school. that way you could include everyone. or you could always just eat with them half the time and your other friends half the time. either way you should see all of them so thay all know they're your friends.
|
|
okay promp is coming up soon and I want to go but don't ANY girl friends for me to ask/ I hardly ever talk to girls but I really want to go (link)

Where in the Bible does it state that people shouldnt drink alcohol? Bible verses would be good. (link)
| |
go w/ there verses on why you shouldn't ABUSE it but it never says you can't drink it period. i mean back in Jesus's day they always drank wine. i mean they did at the last supper. but yeah, it does say you shouldn't abuse it.

I'm doing a project on rules in schools, the good and the bad. However, I need rules that AREN'T just at my schoo or in my state.
I was wondering, what kind of dress codes do you guys have at your schools? Length of shorts, tank tops, ripped jeans?
Also, what are the rules on PDA? We get suspension if we're caught hugging.
Just any rules you may feel strongly about or just ones you guys totally love!
Thanks so much!
Female, 14.

our dress code is pretty loose and there are no rules on pda (TRUST ME) but we do have to wear i.d.'s and if we forget them we get a temp. for 2 days detention and if we lose them we have to pay to get another one. also we can't be in the building until 8:30an shcool starts at 8:40. No one gets that one. we also have security guards around every corner.
