Q: okay i cant handle this anymore. how do you deal with parents that are ALWAYS fighting? i mean they wont separate they talked about it but they wont and it's beginning to tick me off because they will be good one day and then the next you know it they are fighting and it sickens me! i cant handle it anymore i feel like punching them out. please help. THANKS!
Don't get involved. It's their decision whether they decide to get a divorce. When they fight do something or go somewhere that gives you comfort, like a friends house. Leave the fighting to them. Well, hope things work out for you!!

Q: my friend alyssa was seeing this guy ryan but they broke up bc she cheated on him. shes in love with this new guy tai they went out brok eup but shes still hooked on him. alyssa doesnt liek ryan any more and says she doesnt care if her friends like him but i feel likeid be betraying her if i did.. me and ryan have been talkin for a few weeks now. just online and on the phone and were making plans to hang out & stuff.. hes such a great guy and has the best personality. do you think its wrong that ryan & i are hanging out and talking??? me and alyssa have been friends for 4 years but she says its ok..i think shes too wrapped up with tai right now but.. i dont want to ruin our friendship at all... what do you advise..??

-kristi
Well, if it was just to hang with him then that would be fine. If you two were to get in a serious relationship maybe you should talk more about it with her. Drill it into her head that you want a serious relationship with him. If you don't have a talk with her and you just suddenly go out with him, things could get ugly. Well, good luck!!

Q: Well, my brother told me that if you put up blue christmas lights it meant that you were Jewish. So does anyone know if this is true or is my brother smoking something? Thanks!!

xo_sherry_ox
I rate 5's!
Ok, why would jewish people put up Christmas lights? They celebrate a completely different holiday(Hannukah). Your brother doesn't know what he's talking about. Happy Holidays!!

Q: Do you neciserrily have to think a guy is cute to like them? Like can you be attracted to just there personality and still have a crush on them?
Absolutely. Haven't you ever heard of the saying "looks shouldn't matter"? Personality comes within, and I think that is the best part about that special someone.

Q: what is a true friend? Is a true friend someone who is better then you and tries to do things that are not right
Who is this? Didn't I already answer this?

Q: What is a true friend ?
It depends on what you look for in a friend. I look for trust. My friends are people who would never betray me or stab me in the back. We have fun times together and are there for each other. That's what I look for but I dunno what you look for. So this is the best answer I can give you.

Q: OK, so my dad has cancer, my mom needs 2 hav surgery, my sista is a diebetic, my other sis just had a baby, and we hav alot of other things like that going on in my family. I really need an additude ajustment. When ever some1 else says somethin negitive, i become negitive, and every1 gets mad at me. How do i change this?
Try to be positive around them so that they don't feel worse then the already do. It's hard at first but when you so your loved ones in pain all you want to do is make them happy. Praying is good too. Good Luck with your family!

Q: how can i make sure that my girlfriend that lives 300 miles awya will never wanna leave me?
You can't really. Long distance relationships don't usually work out. I know you love her and stuff but you two are better of just being friends. It's better to maintain a stable relationship with someone who lives close to you. Whatever you decide to do, Good Luck!!

Q: My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday but I am 70% sure I can get him back. Is there anything
I can do to get him back?
What makes you so sure you can win him back? No offense, but if he broke up with you then maybe he doesn't want you to win him back. You say you're 70% sure, but when you do something like this you have to have all of your heart in it and be 100% sure. It may be hard to do but move on from this relationship. Who knows, maybe after some time he'll ask you out again. If you go to him a day after the brake-up, it'll seem like you're desparate. Well, good luck!!

Q: my friend and i just started talking again and i am asking like how skool is going for her and how she has been! but all her answers are just "good"! how do i get her to talk more?
Well if you two just started talking, she probably feels uncomfortable around you. Just give her time to open up. Don't force her to talk about stuff because that could only make things worse. Good Luck!!

Q: i have a puppy she is about 5 months old and my mom is very alergic to her .. she is now living in teh gaage bcz my mom almost died ! we wanan give her away to a family taht loves her but dont know who my question is .. how could i let ppl know about my dog ??? thank u soo0o much and p.s she is a girl if that helps
Well you could put up posters around your neighborhood, teling the people about your dog and the phone number they can reach you at. Good luck finding the puppy a good home =)

Q: OK... I just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this or knows what it is...
On my upper inner left thigh ther are these really strange marks. They look liek branches and kind of like scars. they are indented into my leg and pruple-ish. I never scarped my leg there or cut it but they look a lot like scars. By indented I mean if you run your finger along it it's like carved into my skin. Does anyone knows what they are, or how they might have got there? They just came up this past 3 months. thanks for ANY comments
They're probably stretch marks. But tht doesn't necessarily meen you're getting fat. You're legs are growing causing the skin to stretch. They'll go away eventually. Try using cocoa butter or Avon Stretch Mark Cream to reduce the appearence of the marks until they go away. Good Luck!

Q: okay so heres the thing.....i am really depressed, and i know it and so i cut myself....but not my wrists or anything just my legs and my ankles.......and i think about death alot, but not ohters just myself....what do you think i shuld do
You need help. I know it's tough to do but tell you're parents. If they see that you're in pain then they'll understand. You just don't wanna end up in a messed up life. So tell them and they can get you good help. Or if you don't wanna talk to your parents, you could talk to the guidance counselor at school. That's basically the best solutions so try them and good luck!!

Q: well i like this boy right and he's spanish and i have no problem with that b/c he''s really sweet and cute. but all my friends do b/c im like white and we're totally diff and some of my friends are sort of racist. i don't know what to do b/c i rlly like this boy...what should i do
Shame on your friends for being racist. They obviously aren't your real friends if they care about the race of this kid..meaning they don't want you to be happy. I say ask him out. He seems awesome. And if I were you I'd ditch those "friends" of yours. You could do so much better and you should not tolerate their racial behavior.

Q: Well my sister for the first time met my boyfriend and then when we were all talking (my sister, my boyfriend, and me) he touched my hand, *not a big deal right?* well to my sister it was so. . . that night my sister went on aim and told him not to touch my hand infront of her my sister is 28 and shes acting WAY over protective!! help please what do i say to her to not make her feel im making my self like "older" then her!!!!!! i'll rate high
You should tell her in a calm way not to be overprotective. I mean she is your older sister and she will look out for you, but tell her to loosen up a bit. Show her that you and your boyfriend can be trusted together. Maybe this will help...

Q: I hate my life and myself. My parents love me and all, but all we do is fight. My friends and I are fighting, I'm not good enough for any boyz, and I'm always finding myself getting mad. I don't think i'm that ugly, and boys tell me I am. THey like the popular girlz. Please help me. What do I do with myself?
You know, I can relate to how you're feeling. I'm recently in a fight with an EX best friend (I'm not gunna get into detail). Anyway you have to look beyond the assholes you're fighting with. Whether you're at fault or not, your life is not a game so if you really hate your life that much leave them be. Boys are idiots. They only think the popular girls are girlfriend material. The right guy will come along, don't worry. Now about your parents, talk to them, tell them how you feel. Maybe that will release some anger so there's less fighting, and it's good for you to realize that they love you. Take this into consideration: You only live once, so make the best of it!

Q: alrigty...i have a bad habit with cutting my self..and i need to stop...the only problem is...i dont kno how...my life is kinda shakey now b/c my mom is makin me go live with my aunt 4 good b/c of my "problem" and im doin pretty bad in skool with all the stress thats going on...and that makes more stress and just blah...i mean my friends and my boyfriend HATE the fact that i do it and they give me ideas to stop like squeezing an ice-cube until it melts...but that dont help... and i am in cheerleading an i always have to wear my long sleeve shirt so ppl wont see my arms and be like "shes physco" er suttin...but ne ways..i also have a prob with eating...i mean im not fat and i love food...but it just makes me wanna puke...so idk what to do about that either...so if ne one has ne ideas with how to help me with this stuff...please let me kno!
I know where your coming from. And I don't know why your own mother would give up on you like that :( i am so sorry for that. The best thing for you to do is to tell someone who can help you such as a guidance counselor, a family member, or ask your aunt to take you to counseling (that way they could probably perscribe some anti-depressants to relieve stress and what-not.) And the eating thing: You're proabaly in the early stages of belimia. Now I'm not clear on eating disorders, but tell someone about that too, and then you can probably get help. Well, whatever you decide to do for help, I wish you the best of luck!!

Be there for her. Convince her to talk to the guidence counselor, or tell her parents so thatshe can a psychiatrist. That's basically the best thing for her.

Q: Ok I want to get a cellphone and I can get one for 20 dollers ( a flip phone ) but thats not the problem the service is. Like its expensive and crap. And we have to pay rent and bills so I dont know how we're or I am gunna be pay for the bill. Do you guys have any suggestions or any servies like cingular or something that has cheap plans. Thanks.
There's something better that. You can get these cards for your cellphone called prepaid minutes. Use the time wisely though.

Q: i have been feeling bad for a while.. i think i have the disease depression... im almost 16 years old and until recently i havent told anyone except my best friend... i want to tell my mom and go to the doctor to find out for real but im scared... im afraid she wont understand or not take me seriously or get mad... some of my symptoms are: alot of insecurities with myself, feeling empty, trapped, i always wanna stay home and sleep, i hate myself, im sick of my life, and i have alot of regrets.... im not so bad that im thinking of suicide though.. i would NEVER do that.... the thing is i think i have a pretty good life and im lucky for the things i have and that makes me feel really guilty about feeling bad..... i have a good house, im healthy, i have a family who loves me, my parents are together, and i have alot of stuff but i still feel depressed....... i no there are people who have it so much worse than me and all that makes me feel so much worse about how i have been feeling.... my questions are do u think i am really depressed like.. do u think i have the disease or do u think im just a moody teenager? and do u think i should tell my mother? please please time one million answer my questions!!!! i reallyyyyyyy need help!
Yes, tell your mother so you can get medication. The reason you're feeling this way is because you hormones are changing. IT SUCKS, believe me I know. And you can't help how you feel you probably have a mild case of depression, which is just a chemical inbalance in your body. So no need to worry, I mean you aren't suicidal, you have a good life, and, your mother of all people should understand.
