Every since i've seen the movie preminition i've been paranoid that my mom or dad is going to get in a car crash. i hate when they drive and i get so scared they'll get in a wreck. what can i do to make me less paranoid!? (link)
Remember that they've been fine every other time,and that isn't going to change just because you saw a movie.


where do i go to get a photography job. im 13. i really want this. i want to take pictures then a company or magazine or someone buys it.or.them tell me what to take pictures of and me find it and take pictures of it. i travel alot so i really wanted to do it for a travel magazine or anything whould work. i never go anywhere without my camera. i love cameras. i have 4 good ones. where do i go to get a photograpy job around o'fallon or st.peters their close to st.louis missouri. i searched on google but i need one around where i live (link)
You.No one wants a 13 year old photographer,and it's not legal to hire one anyway.With that said...

Continue to take your camera everywhere,and don't get rid of a SINGLE photo.Lump all of the good ones together and get a portfolio started.Once you get into high school,do NOT pass up the opportunity to take a photography course if it's offered.By then you should know if this is really something that you want to do.If it is,then keep taking those photography classes.

Also,remember that there are HUNDREDS if not thousands of kids like you,so simple pictures aren't going to cut it.Always remember to think outside of the box and if you've seen it more than once or you have a feeling that it just seems too typical...don't do it.Make every picture that you take an award winning one.

If you really want this,the best thing to do is start following those guidelines right now.By your sophomore year there's no possible way that you won't have at least a few respectable pictures,and after you take classes everything will just get better from there.Remember that it's an extremely competitive field of work and you have to constantly strive to be the best of the best.Since you're young you have all the time in the world to set yourself up for an amazing career.

Good luck :)


I'm bringing back the 70's one day at a time.
I need some old music. :)

any ideas? (link)
Led Zeppelin is THE 70's band.They were basically a super band since there wasn't a single person that wasn't exceptionally great at what they did.

Other than that you've got Black Sabbath,Grateful Dead(I tend to lump them in as a 60's hippie band,but they were mega popular in the 70's),Yes,Pink Floyd(don't ignore their 60's work.There first album is one of my favorites.),The Doors were more of a 60's band but they lasted until Jim Morrison died in the early 70's,Earth,Wind,and Fire is a great Funk/Soul band,Elton John was at his peak,Mungo Jerry is a less popular but still great Blues/Jugband type of deal,The Beatles released their last album and their individual efforts started after they broke up (I prefer John Lennon,but they all had some respectable stuff),Jefferson Airplane became Jefferson Starship (Airplane's better if you don't mind a 60's band),The Velvet Underground were at their prime in the late 60's but they went on into the early 70's,Billy Joel was starting out and hit his stride around 77,aaaand the Jackson 5 got fairly popular,which paved the way for Michael's solo career.

im using my brush. plus do you think you could answer any of my other questions (link)
Check your brush and make sure that it's smooth and that there's absolutely NO chance that it could cut you.If the bleeding still happens the it would be a good idea to see a doctor.

I'd be happy to answer any other questions.What are they?


why does my vagina bleed after i masturbate. it bleeds alot. (link)
Are you using your fingers or what?If you are,make sure that your nails are trimmed and file them so that they aren't jagged.You could be cutting yourself.Other options are;you popped your cherry (if the bleeding has happened on separate occasions,this probably isn't the case),or you have an infection.If it persist,go see a doctor about it.


Okay so this may sound strange but i need to ask.

Im white and NOT racist whatsoever. But whenever im describing a person to someone its easy to say he/she is black or white.

But when i say someones black, a part of me inside feels like im sounding racist. Im not sure what to call African Americans in a non-racist nice way.

I will take any anwsers but anwsers from any thats african american would be nice. (link)
That happens to a lot of people because of the emphasis that's put on being politically correct.In reality,most black people have absolutely no problem with being called black.In my opinion,just call them whatever you feel comfortable with as long as it isn't a slur.


im looking for another movie that has a widowed wife? its not catch and release.. (link)
Any movie?Spider-Man maybe?


Hello ,

Okay lets say you have it with a guy and he has a condum on will it break ? Is it more likely to get pregnanat? Is it safe if the guy wears a condum cuz if anything happens i rele dont want to get preganant.

Thanks ,
Betty. (link)
I don't exactly get what you're asking.The entire point of using a condom is to be safe from getting pregnant.There's a CHANCE that the condom could break,but hey...anything can get screwed up.

The only way to completely avoid pregnancy is to not "have it with a guy".


Whenever I get high I can still feel it the next morning after I wake up.
Like normally when I get high, I lose control of my body, and right now I can't feel my arms typing too easiyl but typing isnt too hard because its my arms I can't feel, not my fingers.

I've only done it twice and never plan on doing it again because I HAAATE it

So is that normal to feel sorta highish the next morning, like im not high, but sort of dizzy. (link)
If you've only done it twice your body obviously isn't going to be used to it yet,so after effects should be expected.


what does it mean to dip?

**i know it has something to do with tobacco** (link)
It's using dipping tobacco.That's shredded up tobacco that almost always comes in a little tin.People pinch it in between their lip and their teeth,and it's usually done by stupid high school guys that want to look badass.


hey im 15/f
and i was just wondering what i should wear or like put on to make people actually look at you. i dont mean attractive as in slutty or anything.
Just something i could wear that a guy would look at me... in a good way. or double take again.

what kind of makeuP? i usually wear eyeliner and mascara. grey eyes
i like headbands also. i have a bright highlighter yellow one that i usually don't wear.. but i have it

any kind of jewerly?




(link)
First off,try to wear brighter colors.Try outfits that are sort of different and give you your own personality.For tops I would try things like tank tops and stuff like that.Skirts are good,but if they're too short they can give the wrong impression.Sundresses can be cute if it looks good and if you're into that kind of thing.

All that you need to know for make up is that it should accentuate the features of your face,but don't go overboard.Try to pick colors that go well with what you're wearing.

Basically,try to find the balance between modesty and sticking out.


i'm married to a man that i do love and care for my marriage is great and yes i'm happy with him, but sometimes its very tirering when you can't really be free.example: he might say something i will respond with a sarcastic answer with that he will take personally and try to turn it as if i ment it seriously, when it wasn't "get it".
here goes my question:
can a person be that up tight in the mist of a sarcastic statement or joke to not find the humor in it? can a marriage last or be stressfree ever with out a little humor? (link)
If there's one thing that can save anything,I would say that it's humor. If you have a great sense of humor and you're husband's dull,there's hardly any chance that it's going to work out in the future.You're going to get stressed when he turns sarcasm into seriousness,and when things get rough there isn't going to be that joke or witty remark to brighten things up.

I'd talk to him about it to make sure that you two are on the same level and let him know that he shouldn't take you so seriously all the time.


my crush might try to kiss me at an upcoming party (so my friend overheard). I really really want to kiss him back but ive never done it before and i might be bad at it...and then after we do kiss, what do i do or say? Should i use my tongue? ahhhh i dont know srry i no im kind of a loser cus im 14 and still havnt kissed anyone. If you can help id really appreciate it. Thanks!
(link)
Sorry for responding late.Anyway,if he does just kind of go with the flow and follow what he does.If it starts getting intense then it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use tongue.Just think of it as massaging his tongue with yours,and again just try to follow what he does since he might know what he's doing. For the most part,just be chill about it and let your instincts take over.When you're done just smile and cuddle with him.

Good luck :)


where do u find out when lisi harrison published her 1st book and when was it published??need help and quick please and thank u ur homie slice (link)

Because you are my friend,

i wrote this to my best friend that i know for 8 years and i like her more than a friend.
i told that i had feelings for her. and she said she not ready for a realtionship right now and she not sure what gender she is intersed into.
but my guy friend called me and that he told her how he felt about her. he said that he like her but wants to be friends. she reasponed "well Tammy played a song for me that is repeteing over my head about friends" (im tammy) well i try to remember what song i played for her.....but i never played a song for her. i wrote that poem for her after i told her how i felt about her. was she qouating the peom? is she repeteing that over and over her head???? (link)
In all honesty,that poem's really cliche and poorly written. If someone gave that to me I would realize that it was with their best intentions,but I would also wonder why they wouldn't take the time to write a decent poem for me.


on friday i got high for the first time. with guys, lets call "alex" and "john" after they left, i stayed with my friedns, and alex and john went to do shrooms. but then alex texted me saying "what r u doin" meaning, i assume he wanted me to come get high with him
i answered too late, so it was too late in the night, but then he texted me sayingg "i love the money pitt" umm so what does that meaaan (link)
It's a movie,so maybe he was watching it.

You can never really tell why people say the things they do when they're on shrooms though :p


is it wrong for a 17 year old boy
going out with a 13 year old girl ?
please leave your oppions and commets (link)
In my opinion,yes.As the boy is becoming a mature man and getting ready for the jump into the real world,the girl is still just a girl.The boy has gathered a bunch of life experiences that the girl most likely hasn't and won't have for quite some time.

Point:Age difference is fine,but only when the people in question are in the same stages of life.

An adult and a baby have no business in dating eachother.


i need classic [[like the beegees, beatles time]] and recent songs that would go along a slideshow of baby pictures.



thank you. (link)
Classics:
*Octopus's Garden,Golden Slumbers,Mother Nature's Son,Cry Baby Cry:The Beatles

*Wild Child:The Doors

*Levon,The Greatest Discovery:Elton John (best choices,in my opinion.listen to them and you'll see why they fit)

*Lather(it's about growing up,so it could be effective):Jefferson Airplane

*Beautiful Boy:John Lennon

*Bron-Yr-Aur(really calm acoustic guitar piece),The Rain Song,That's The Way,All Of My Love(Robert Plant wrote it for his dead son,so it works in that context):Led Zeppelin

*Wot's...Uh The Deal,Childhood's End,Matilda Mother,Mother,Time:Pink Floyd


are there any songs about struggling with an eating disorder and not feeling pretty and feeling alone? (link)
Waltz Moore by From First To Last is directly about all of those subjects.It conveys the feeling perfectly,in my opinion.


ok so alot of my friends have hooked up with guys (as in making out) and im going out with this guy who i really like (and he likes me) to the movies. i know that its gonna happen but hes "experienced" haha. i dont wanna sound like 4 but can u give me any advice so im not completely terrible? thanks! (link)
Just let your tongues touch and try your best to try and mimic what he does from there.After you get the hang of it start doing your own thing.It'll come naturally.
