about

they would call me sarah, but it seems that people are afraid to address me by my name. i am a senior. i dislike a lot of things. i enjoy a nice hot medium mocha latte and smoke too many cigarettes for my own good. i have been in love. i love lights and colors. i am above the influence.

I know downloading music is wrong, but I'm sorry okay. I use winmx and I love it. But I'm trying to download the new all-american rejects CD, and THOUSANDS of results come up for all the songs, and every single one of them fail. NONE of them work. They'll turn yellow and say "Waiting for network reply..." for like 2 minutes and then they'll fail. Not one single song works. WHY?!

Switch to Limewire!!! It works so much better!

Or just buy the cd...

okay. i need to talk to someone and none of my friends can really help. my parents are divorced and i dont see my dad very often. i live with my mother who is an alcoholic and gets pissed off easliy. today my brother and mom got into a huge fight. she is now gone, i mean she just left. i called her and she said that she just needed to be alone. she hasnt returned yet, and i dont know what to do. i am only 14 and my brother 11. she is most likely going to come home incredibly drunk and when she is drunk life just sucks... i dont know what to do anymore because i am just sick of it. this isnt the first time she has just left......

Wow, I'm sorry you have to deal with this. If you're afraid to face her right when she comes home is there someone you can stay with, a friend, grandparent, good neighbor? (Of course you'll have to take your brother with you.) Or if you think you can deal with it just make your meals and try to stay busy. Though you may love your mom would you ever consider calling "Children and Youth" or Social Services?? They can help your mom get into rehab and provide you with what you need until she's capable of controlling yourself.

Good luck with everything

My roots get greasy really fast, like within 5-6 hours after I take a shower. Is there any way I can keep my hair cleaner for longer without taking 2 showers daily? Is there a shampoo that prevents your hair roots from being greasy? I rate.

THere's a shampoo for greasy hair that Herbal Essances makes. Also try not to put conditioner anywhere but the ends of your hair, or don't use it at all. Another thing is to buy a bristle brush which will distribute your hair's oil throughout your hair making it look shiny, not greasy. For a quick fix, wear a hat! =0)

Okay when i was 13 i got drunk and had sex and he didnt use a condom. I got pregnant and told the father and he moved an i had my baby girl. Now im 15, every time i tell a bf i had a baby they end up breaking up with me. There is a guy who ive been dating for a lomg time now and he said hed be with me through all of the obsticals...well this is a huge obstical. Should i tell him i had a baby or say it is my mothers and tell my mother to go along with it till i tell him? (My mom had me when she was sixteen so she is young)

You don't have to tell him. In fact I'd probabaly better that everyone didn't know about your past mistakes. Because that's what it was, a dumb thing to do and now you're paying for it, but no one has to know. Go ahead, if your mom doesn't mind!

I applaud you for keeping your little angel!

okay...i'm a huge harry potter fan...i'm like obsessed with the movies and books. especially after reading the sixth book, i'm like falling in love with the character, scary but yes. on the videos i watch the comentaries and read in magazines and know and like alot about daniel radcliffe and stuff... now straight to the point. am i in love with the character or the real person? lol stupid question but i'm so confused! i've always wanted to meet danial especially after i saw the first movie. he's gorgeous and he's a really good actor! help me!!

That's kind of weird...you really shouldn't dwell on things like that. I agree that they are awesome books and Dan's acting is pretty good, but you don't know him.

Unfortunately I'd say you have a crush on the character. But honestly I don't think he's all that noble. He lies, cheats on homeowrk, sneaks around, messes with stuff he should just stay out of, only beats whatever obsticles he comes against because he's shown the answers by someone smarter or braver than he...and the list just goes on. Pick another character to have a crush on!

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear!

AG
Ps. I'm not bad-mouthing the books, like I said, I love them. I just think Harry could use a smack.

Ok I'm 13/f and I have a crush on someone. I never have in my entire life. I refuse to tell anyone because I feel really guilty and I'm worried people will make fun of me because everyone thinks I'm a nerd. I should be focusing on getting into the Honor Choir and straight A's, not boys! Is it a bad thing? It would be really cool if someone can give me some info! thx

Hehehe. Guys are cute and super easy to have crushes on! Though you should definately work more towards your grades than a boyfriend. Especially in highschol where every point counts towards what colleges start looking at you. Besides, right now relashionships are mostly pointless. If it makes you feel any better I am yet to have an official boyfriend! :) Nothing wrong with me I just haven't cared all that much.

If that's what you wanted to hear than I'm glad I could help!

how long after your pregent can you get an abortion? i know after a certain amount of months you cant get an aborion anymore but whats the latest month you can get one?

Well you should stop considering having an abortion as soon as you get pregnant. There's a baby in there! An innocent, precious, tiny, perfect baby! Why would you consider having her brutally murdered? You may be young, or a victim of a crime resulting in you getting pregnant, but isn't your child also a victim when you kill it because of your selfish needs? I want you to browse this site, there is some good info about the effects, and complications with any abortion. www.abortionfacts.com/life_or_choice/pro_choice.asp

If you do not agree that is a life in there, look at sonograms, do some research, that little being has a heart, brain and soul just like you!

Please give your child a chance, even if it's adoption...there are many couples who are un-able to concive and would love to have a healthy baby!

You're in my prayers AG

hey, im a girl, and i shave my armpits, but there is always this grayish area left. like i dunno how to make it look like just skin, like the rest of the girls do. i mean, it doesnt get mistaken for like not shaving but it still bugs me! please dont leave me mean answers. i really try and i dont want to hear anything you have to say if yur gonna be mean.

Ha, don't we all....

Honestly, try using Dove atipersperant. It makes skin smooth soft and not gray! Also, try lotion or maybe switch to another razor if that might be the problem. Good luck with your pits! Lol

So I’m engaged to be married in one year. I was raised Christian and although I don’t go to church or anything any more my I do still believe. My fiancé is an atheist. It’s really important to me (and to my family) to get married in the church but he says that would be ‘compromising his beliefs’ and doesn’t want to. I don’t care if we never step foot in a church again but my uncle is a priest and I can’t tell him that he can’t preside over my wedding! I’ve always known and respected that we don’t feel the same way about religion but I want to spend the rest of my life with this guy but I don’t know what to do about the wedding. Any advice?

I know you love this man, but God should really come first. He is the key in good relationships. Talk to your guy about his beliefs and why he finds yours to be untrue. Though your husband-to-be may not belive in the One true God, it shouldn't take away from your relationship with Him.

Please get married in a church, have God bless your marige and live your faith.

14 yrs old. 180 lbs, im a girl. I'm 5 foot 7, and have a big build to begin with, like i have broad shoulders. Im a major tomboy too, so all my clothes r kinda baggy, and i wear long shorts and football jerseys. Will guys EVER like me? Why is everything based on looks?I rate high

Yup, sure they will! You have no obligation to fit into ANY catogory clothes-wise and if your sick of wearing baggy clothes and you're not really that confident/comfortable with wearing tiny tees and lowrise jeans try shirts that just fit you nicely with a little room and jeans that some up to wear your comfortable with.

Plus++ guys like girls that like the same things as they do, sometimes it's hard enough finding somthing ot talk about with their girlfriends if their intrests are worlds apart! BUT they don't really like to be beat by girls so caution!

some people tell me that i am a nonfashion female...

i am always conscious on what im wearing...

y??... because my brother always tell me that im out of fashion... when i choose what i would like to wear, my mom always contradict me and push through the clothes that i dont want....



can you give me advices on how to have a "proper" outfit???


thanks.... this is my first time to enter this group......

I would tell you to just wear what you wanna wear and forget about all who contadict you but here are some pointers just in case that's not what you want to hear!

Jeans that are flared at the bottom are always a good bet, I'm personally not a fan of ones that are ripped or too washed out but whater you like...

Although a lot of people wear logo tees I try to avoid them because after you buy them you have just paid to be a walking advertisement for their company. Stick with stuff you like, tees and throw in a few dressier shirts maybe ones thatt lace up or off the shoulder type thing.

Hats are cool!!

I have seen Butt ugly shoes that other people have told me they loved so there it's TOTALLY up to you!

Be creative! A shirt's too long? Tie it off with an elastic. Jeans waaay to ratty at the bottom? Cut 'em off and make capris!

okay, so im 13. & i've never had a boyfriend. i know its not all that big of a deal since i am on 13, but it kind of sucks. because ALL of my other friends have had boyfriends or have one now. its it kind of sucks because they are always talking about like holding hands & kissing and stuff. but i've never experianced that. & it just kind of makes me sad. like, i like guys, & im not usually afraid to tell them about liking them. but they NEVER feel the same way. they are always like, youre a better friend. and so that makes me feel kinda bad. im not really fat, but i have big bones, & im afraid that thats why they dont like me. because a lot of my friends that are guys are always saying that they wish other girls were like me, but i guess its because we are suck good friends. my best friend is a guy & some of my good friends that are girls get mad at me about that since they think that they are my best friend. but i cant help it, because i dont know, i guess i just trust guys better and he understands me better than girls do. and i've had a crush on the one guy for 1 and a half years now. i just told him in like march. in about may or so, he asked me why i liked him so much and i told him why. then i asked him why he didnt like me and he said that he just didnt want a girlfriend. but then two weeks later he got girlfriend. then they broke up. and now he has another girlfriend who just happens to be a good friend of mine. it kind of sucks. i just dont get him. i told all of my friends that i was over him and they were happy, but i lied. because i still really like him. i just dont want my friends to be mad about it. and i dont know why they are mad. i guess its because they think im obsessive over him, but im not.


please help!! sorry this was long too!

Ha Ha...welcome to my life! I have never had an "official" boyfriend. What are they for? To steal a peice of you heart away? I'm not against dating or anything but I think that until you're about 15 you shouldn't have to wory about it. Plus+ Guy that are your good friends are much better than boyfriends!

OK, this August I am starting highschool. I am in the honors program, and all my life i have gone to a Catholic school. It was a very comfortable environment. I knew everybody and was liked by everybody, and I did my work very easily. I didnt really have to work that hard at all. I loved the school I went to, the teachers were great and I learned a lot. But it makes it that much harder to go into highschool. I am going to a catholic high school too. I get stressed easily. How will I get used to the hard work, and the homework? My older sister is in that school, and she is SOOOOO smart. I feel like i have to be as good as her. How will i handle the work? I NEED HELP

Hey, I'm in the same situation! (Minus the big sister) I went to Catholic school until 2nd grade and then was homeschooled until now.

You're just really going to have to stay focused and dedicated to the work! I know it's gonna boring at times (I'M not exactly looking foward to homework!) but otherwise focus on your goal. Usually because the private schools are smaller you get more attention than in a public school and colleges certainly notice. Every one of the 40 graduating students from the highschool I'm going to have been accepted by good colleges!

I'd like to know more about your situation, drop one in my inbox and i'll be sure to try and help!!

what are symptoms of herpes..can u get outbreaks like around your face..not even that close to your mouth?
how do i know if its herpes and what do i do if it is

Do you mean Herpes type 1; also knows as cold blisters? (which have nothing to do with the STD?) If you are refering to that then no, they blisters need to be around your nose or mouth to be a breakout. Try asking your doctor for some cream to put on the blisters if theyhurt or itch too badly.

hey guyss! i have this "beauty mark" on my face near my lip and i know people dont care about it and some think its "awsome" but i hate it with a passion and i will probably end up getting it removed if my mom lets me but is there any other way of convering it good ther than loads of foundation or bronzer?? thankssss

I think that whatever you do to try and cover it will look unnatural and like you have somthing to hide. If and when you get it removed you will stil be likely to have a mark where it was so don't get your hopes up too much.

is there any way you can determine when you have your period when youve had it for a year?

Yeah, when you start to become regular it should be anywhere from 28-30 days.

Here's a site I found a while ago tha might help you out.

Can one get sick from eating old graham crackers? They're probably about 3 months old, and I guess the package was left open. haha They're not dusty, but they're soft and chewy, very bizzare...

Um no...unless they had mold you probabally won't get sick. The humidity made them soggy! Enjoy..hehehehehe.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten a tattoo before around their bellybutton, and if so what it's a tattoo of. Also, I would like to know if it hurts a lot getting one around your bellybutton. If you could, please let me know! Thank you so much! :-)

I have seen tattoos of a ring of flowers, chinese symbols and swirly patterns around your belly button. Also people say that that area (like the 2-3 inches under your belly buton and left and right of it too) is one of the least sensitive areas to get a tattoo on. Only, don't get love handles! :)
