advice

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to diet, and I know water is key. I can usually only drink 2 bottles a day, and I really have to force myself to get it down. (I hate the taste of water..none) Haha, so I was wondering, are there any other drinks I could have that maybe include lots of water but have some taste to them? I've heard unsweeted Iced Tea & Lemonade, Gatorade. I also have these little Koolaid packets I pour into water bottles, and that makes me drink them so fast, & they are only 30 cals! Any other suggestions?

i would suggest crystal light. it's just 5 calories/every 8 ounces.

hope i helped!!

i would say to tell her how you really feel about the situation. if she respects your opinion on what happened, then she's a true friend, but if she flips out and such, then i would say not to bother being her friend anymore.

f/13
okay well people at my school are saying that my friend stuffs her bra. she does not she is not that kind of person to do that. We are 13and she is a size B but she is not big but it looks like she has big boobs because she is really thin. What do i do i want to tell her that people are saying that but i dont want her feelings to be hurt

i think you should tell your friend. as long as she knows you don't think that she stuffs, her feelings won't be hurt by you. and she's going to find out sooner or later, so she's better off to find out sooner from a friend rather than later when people are making fun of her. at least if you tell her, she'll be prepared for what's coming.

good luck & hope i helped!

im 13/f and whenever i go swimmin i get a little darker and i like my skin tone the way it is how do i go swimmin and still not get a tan?

you should use waterproof SPF 30 or higher. that way you won't get tan while outside, and it won't rub off when you're swimming.

ok well over the last few days i got a really bad sunburn! but only on my face well now its staring to peel! and now i have like light blotches everywhere!!! all over my face! does any1 know wut i can use to get rid of it???
please help asap!!

buy some aloe gel at a drug store, apply that to your face and stay in the shade for a bit, then once your sunburn doesnt hurt so much, use SPF 15 then go out in the sun again and your skin tone will even out.

Okay, so my older half sister and brother have planned this trip to Florida, 5 days in Disney World!!! I was really excited...until I found out two things...

1. My sister and brother might be bringing their side of the fmaily that I've never even met. Which includes parents and kids. (I do NOT like kids) I'll just feel like a blacksheep.
2. PANIC! AT THE DISCO is playing the SAME DAY I'll be GONE!! (San Diego, August 1st)

My mom has allowed me to choose whether or not to go. Should I stay and experience an awesome Panic! concert or spend 5 days in Disney World with people I don't really know????

I don't want any regrets...

I'd say go to the concert. spending time with people you don't really know would probably be really awkward and you might feel left out. if you go to the concert, you'll probably be more comfortable than if you go to disney.

hope i helped & good luck with your decision!

i don't really think this is in the right category, but anyways,
when i put soap or acne wash on my face, should i wash it off as soon as i put it on, or leave it on for a little while to get into my skin?

thanks in advance.

don't wash it off as soon as you put it on. leave it on for a little while so it can clean the surface and below your skin, and into your pores.

that way you have nice clean skin =)

My "best" friend carrie went out with mark, who is one of my other best friends. They broke up after three days because Carrie thought Mark liked me instead and ever since then she has changed a lot. Slowly, she can began being obsessed with being popular, lying, attention, cheating, cussing, and she gradually pushed away all of her friends. After she had lost four best friends, she came to me. I heard Carrie talking talking to one of my friends about me and I confronted her CALMLY about it on IM that day.
Carrie: hey
Me: hi
Me: how come you said I was fat?
Carrie: what the hell? i never said that.
Me: I heard you say it
Carrie: I DIDNT SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: I heard you and so did about three other people so don't lie. I just want to know why u said it.
Carrie: MY FUCKING GOD!!
Me: can you stop cussing?
Carrie: what the fuck?
Me: okayyyy im going to take that as a no
Carrie: you know what? fuck you
Me: I never even did anything to you.
Carrie: WHO GIVES A FUCK IF I CALLED YOU FAT!? GET THE FUCK OVER IT! FUCK YOU
Then she signed off.
An hour later she called me and said "Look, I'm sorry. I never even said that. I would not ever talk about you behind your back."
I didn't even want to listen to her try and lie again so I just said "ok I'm going. bye" and hung up.
A few minutes later, my friend, Samantha, signed on and said that carrie had said something else about me.
Carrie signed on.
Me: wow. you said ANOTHER thing about me? how do I copy you? Normally I could care less if you said it to my face..but you just told me that you never talk about me behind my back.
Carrie: so?
Me: so, you lied AGAIN.
Carrie: w.e.
Me: can you please just go back to normal..everyone wants the old you. you haven't been normal since you and mark broke up.
Carrie: i dont give a fuck
Me: please stop cussing
Me: ok look i was going to invite you to my party but i cant
Carrie: w.e.
Me: i dont want someone cussing in every sentence at my party and i've asked u nicely to stop
Carrie: I DONT GIVE A FUCK!!
Carrie: SHUT-THE-FUCK-UP!!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then she signs off and calls me and says, "LOOK I'M SORRY AND YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT, THEN SCREW YOU!" and hung up.
Well, what the heck? What kind of apology is that?!?! She's apologized two more times but I don't really think that's enough after what she did..do you?
Should I ever forgive her or just stop being her friend?

This is long, so I'll give 5's to anyone who at least tries.

don't even bother for now.
she's being inhumane and super rude.
no one deserves to be treated like how she's treating you.

give it time and then if you see that she's changed, give it another try.

hope i helped!

can you be in love with someone you're not even going out with? this may sound retarted and corny, but you know that song have you ever by brandy?
the part when it goes"have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry. have you ever needed someone so bad you can't sleep at night. have you ever tried to find the words but they dont come out right.have you everr" lol because theres this guy i really reallyyy really like( and its not like we've barely talked before. we were really friendly this year and i think he might like me too) and when i thought about those lyrics i realized all that was true about him to me. am i being stupid or could it possibly be "love-ish"?
and dont give some smart ass advice. im serious.
thanks

it's possible to be "love-ish" lol

but if you really want to find out, i'd suggest talking to him about how you really feel, and then from there, you will find out if it was love, or just a crush.

good luck & hope i helped!

I'm almost 15, and I want to get a summer job this summer. Any companies that hire at 15?

a bunch of companies hire at 15. but you have to get your working permit to do so.

so find out where you can work at 15 with a working permit, i would try grocery/drug stores, and then apply. once you get a job lined up, then you can go to your school, tell them you have a job lined up, and then you get the permit, show it to your place of employment, and then you work!

good luck & hope i helped!

sorry if this is long.. but pleasee read.. thanks soo much in advance..

well i have or had.. a really good friend... lets call him jack.. and me and jack have known each other since 2nd grade.. and well.. me and jack get into alot.. and i mean ALOT of fights.... and well i think that we arent friends anymore.. cause i said (which i should not have said) i understand if you dont want to be friends anymore... and then.. he just didnt say anything.. so i guess that means we arent friends..(right?) and i've just known him for soo long.. i dont want to lose him as a friend... but should i just give up on trying to make our friendship work? or should i try something to be friends with him.. and if so.. what should i say or do?? THANKSS ALOTT FOR ANSWERINGGG...

don't give up, persevere.

it's up to you if you want to be friends with him or not, but if you do, then hear me out. i would say to apologize to him, even if you don't really want to. then try to explain to him why you said that. like you feel really distant from him and you want to be closer and that you really don't like fighting with him. if he accepts you, then hang out more, and do things that you both like to do.

good luck & hope i helped!

my name is Rachel and iam a 17 year old girl and my sister moved in with her 2 kids and it's getting really crowded right now becouse it's my mom my stepdad my sister her 2 kids and me that's 6 people living in 1 house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and iam currently sleeping on the couch which I think is unfair so I asked my cousin michelle who is 36,but is like a big sister to me if I could move in with her and she said I could,but I had to ask my mom first,but the problem is I know my mom won't go for it what should I do?my stepdad is getting really cranky please help me!

your mom should go for it. tell your mom that you need your privacy, since you are a teenager. you honestly shouldn't have to live like that.

you might also suggest that your sister get an apartment if she's old enough.
or you could ask your parents to possibly furnish the garage/basement if you have them. you can get heaters and everything.

hope i helped & that all works out!

if you could change/improve anyhing about your school, what would it be? im doing this for a research class so responses are appreciated =]

i would make it so that students have a choice in their activities that they do in physical education as long as they're suitable

i would make it so that students get to choose some of the lunches

i would make it so that the lunched werent processed and disgusting

i would make it so that the teachers who are rude and predjudiced arent allowed to teach at the school and that any teacher who is like that gets fired

hope i helped!

I've been dating my bf for almost 2 years. We get in fights easily. He has this thing where he is very immature and when people get mad, he still does it, acting like a 6 year old. I get tired of him quickly, but I know part of it is because I've been dating him for so long. I don't know what to do, because I love him to death. I don't know if I should keep dating him, and keep arguing.. or try someone else. What seems right here?

tell him that if he's going to be immature, then you're going to need some time off for him to get his act together. because no one deserves to be treated like how it sounds he's treating you. you might love him alot, and it really sounds like you do, but i say tell him that you need him to get his act together, take some time off, and then see if he's acting less immature. if he is, things should go well, if he's not, then i say break it off because if you're not happy with him, then he's not worth it.

but, it's your choice, and with that i say follow your heart, it'll show you the way.

hope i helped!!

Okay my birthday is in like 2 months. Aug 14. I don't know what i want to do. I want to be with my friends but I have plans for that night. I wouldnt mind having a party, but it cost money. what should i do but i dont want to spend a lot of money

have it on a different night if you already have plans for that night.

you could always just have a few close friends over for pizza and some movies or something like that

or you could always ask your parents to pay since it is a sweet sixteen?

hope i helped!
