My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.
Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.
On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.
If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

hi,
i have anorexia and haven't gotten my period for about 4 months now, maybe 5 give or take. first, i was wondering if it's even possible for me to get pregnant anymore because of my loss of periods. also, i just had sex with my boyfriend. we DID use a condom correctly and he pulled out before coming. is there any way i could possibly get pregnant? i'm not freaking out it's just like my lack of periods to begin with prevents me from knowing if i can get pregnant or not. PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! (link)
| |
I doubt your pregnant. It's more than likely just an effect of anorexia. The effects of any eating disorder is a LONG list, and I know you know that. I'm not going to preach to you, but I will say that loss of a period is DEFINITELY very common among people suffering with anorexia.

I failed my previous grade! I have to go to summer school, but I don't think I can make it to the next grade. I realy want to move on, but I know I won't be able to pay attention. My counsular said I was passing the grade I failed two weeks before school let out. I'm mad cuz she lied to me. I'm scared that I might fail summer school and be held back. HELP!!!!!!!!! (link)
|
It's all about the effort you put in. Pretty much the only reason people fail classes is because they don't put in enough effort. You have to TRY. You can't say "I'm going to fail, so there's no point in trying". That's bull, if you TRY to pass, you WILL.
Summer school is easy. Just go, be dedicated to it, and you will go on to the next grade. Once you get there, you have to put in a big effort next school year. You can't slack off. School is important, and even if you go to summer school, your record still has a failed year on it. You don't want more than one of those, believe me.
And your counselor probably didn't lie. Maybe you were passing at the time, and when she told you, you got a little cocky and slacked off...then you failed. Also, final exams are worth a lot and your counselor can't predict what kind of grades you are going to get at the end of the year.

can you still get into a good college if you have Bs in hard classes?
these are the classes for my freshman year:
- hnrs world history
- bio
- spanish
- power reading (hnrs reading pass/fail class)
- english (they didnt offer hnrs)
- al/trig (link)

After my Freshman year I had a 4.3 GPA. After my Sophomore year I had a 3.9 GPA. After my Junior year, I went back up to a 4.0 or a 4.1. I'm in all Honors classes (and one AP class), but I sometimes make as low as an 87 in classes like Chemistry Honors and Pre Calculus Honors. My GPA is fine, and I don't think I'll have a problem getting into a good college.
Your GPA is weighted by the class's difficulty level. If you get an 86 in a regular class, that's like a 3.0, but if it's Honors it's a higher GPA and if it's AP, it's even higher. Colleges look at difficulty levels when taking your grade point average into consideration.
You can also get involved in sports and/or extracurricular activities/clubs/community service, and colleges think highly of that as well. You want to come off as not only book smart, but as a well rounded individual.
Just listen in class, take notes, do your homework, study for quizzes/tests, and ask questions when you don't understand something. You'll do fine, and colleges will know how hard you worked.

15/f
in sex and masturbation i orgasm really easily. is that normal or is something wrong causing that? (link)
| |
There's nothing wrong with you...you're just lucky. Enjoy it. :)
|
well, i will be taking chemistry. I heard it was a very hard class, and i would like to know what to be prepared for. What basic things should i all ready know when going into the class, and what should i memorize (the periodic table???) Is there a lot of math work, and how hard would u rate it 1-10?
also, i'm taking physcology next year. If anyone's ever taken it, could you tell me what you do in the class? (I know what it is, i just want to know about the class) please, and thank you. =D (link)
|
Well I took Honors Chem AND Psychology this year, so I may be able to help.
Most teachers don't ask you to memorize the entire periodic table, but you could make some flash cards with the most common elements and familiarize yourself with the symbols.
If you've ever taken physical science or another class that introduced you to chemistry, go over some stuff like balancing equations.
As for math, yes, there is a good deal of math, especially in stoichiometry. You'll have to convert moles to representative particles, moles to volume, moles to mass...and every other combination you can think of. Gas laws have a lot of math in it too.
Most of the stuff you're just going to have to wait until you get to the class to learn. Just do the reading, take notes, listen in class, and take notes. You'll do fine.
Ok, psychology was a fun class for me. I'm now thinking of going to college for that. You learn about the different areas of the brain, the processes of hearing, seeing, and tasting. You'll learn about hormones and bodily processes. We learned a lot of stuff that I didn't even know was connected to psychology all that much.
You'll learn about different psychologists and the history of it, just like in any other class. You'll learn about psychological development and different theories and perspectives on how development occurs through your lifetime.
I made a 97 in psychology, so you should be fine in that class as well.

hheyy ;] for the freshman team in cheerleading do you know how many spots on average there is open considering 19 girls tried out. :]
i screwed up my cheer a littlee, but my dance was pretty good & my backhandspring was like basically perfectt. what are my chances of getting in. thankss :]
(link)
|
I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help. I've never been a cheerleader and know absolutely nothing about the squad sizes.
I'm pretty sure it depends on the size of the school and the talent presented. As long as you showed them all you've got, I'm sure you won't get cut. :)
Good luck! I hope you make it!

So I'm on a low-carb diet that allows a maximum of 20 carbs a day. This diet really seems to help me lose weight, but in the beginning I always have cravings for foods I can't have (obviously). I've been having things such as chicken, cheese, eggs, avacados, burgers things like that. So does anybody have any suggestions for different snack foods or even meals/recipes? Any feedback is appreciated =] (link)
|
EDIT: I wrote an email with the stuff you asked for, but it said that the email address you gave me has been disabled. If you could give me another one or enable that one and let me know by adding it to the feedback, I'll send it ASAP. :)
I was on Atkins for 3 months and lost 28 pounds, so I know all about low carb. I was on 20 grams a day the entire time. Here are some low carb foods.
Unlimited butter
Meat (chicken, hamburger, beef, pork, etc)
Cheese
Eggs
Veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, green beans, peas, etc)
Salads with dressing
Low carb snacks are few and far between. They have sugar free candy, but they are pretty high in carbs when you're only allowed 20. For example, sugar free jolly ranchers have 3 carbs per tiny piece. They're good for cravings, but not for every day use.
Sugar free jell-o is a BIG thing on low-carb. Only 1 carb per container if you get it in the snack packs. And they taste like regular jell-o.
I went to this website EVERY DAY when I was on Atkins:
http://forum.lowcarber.org/
It's so helpful. You can ask any questions you want and those people know SO much about low-carb eating. And they have SO many recipes that are really good. They also offer encouragement when things get tough.
Check it out. That forum saved me. :)

how can you tell if you're a little chubby (not by using the BMI index)? i think i have buffalo wings if anyone knows what that is. (link)
|
I looked on Urban Dictionary for "buffalo wings", and got nothing that had to do with the human body, so maybe that's just something your friends made up. I've never heard that, ever. Are they like love handles or a muffin top?
If you posted a picture of yourself here, these little girls would be happy to tell you if you're chubby. You don't have to look like Paris Hilton in order to be skinny.
If you have a muffin top, that's usually because your pants are simply too small and your shirt is probably too tight. If you wear clothes that fit you, you shouldn't have a muffin top.
People that you know will probably tell you if they think you're chubby or not. There's no way we can tell you if we can't see you.
If you think you look good, then it doesn't matter what anyone else things. If you're at a healthy weight, you have nothing to worry about. If you want to tone up, work out. As long as you think you're hot, so will everyone else.

Ok well you know how vagina is supposed to look like? (I can't find oen of those sketches on the internet right now..)
Well I'm 13 and i got my period 3 years ago and i'm thinking of wearing a tampon but i tried looking for it and even looked at it with the mirror but it's closed and there's no huge hole!
Looks very similar to this picture I found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Vag1.jpg
What do i do?
Is that person's vagina there in the picture? If so, where? Can you circle it or something for me with paint so i know?
If you tell me clearly that'll work too. (link)
|
Well, that picture is OF a vagina. The whole area is called the vagina. You see where it says "vaginal hole"? That's where the tampon goes. And no, it's not a "huge hole". It's not huge, but it's there.
At the top of the vagina is the clitoris (it's a very sensitive flap of skin used for sexual stimulation). A little further down is another hole (a very small one) called a urethra, where the pee comes out. In between that hole and your rectum (butt hole) is your vaginal opening.
Feel around with your finger and the only hole you'll be able to fit a finger in easily is your vaginal hole. Lay on a bed with your legs spread, put a mirror down there, and hold your lips open with your hand. You should be able to see it.
If you buy tampons, there are directions on how to properly insert one in the box. Check it out.

do you like it when girls have their hair a mess and are just wearing sweatpants instead of jeans?
and if a girls pretty, but doesnt talk much in the beginning is that a turn off or do u want to know more about her?
what would classify someone as a good kisseri n ur mind (link)
|
I'm not a guy, but none of them seem to be answering this question, so I'll tell you this:
A lot of guys think that girls look their best with their hair up all messy lounging in their PJs or sweats. Guys say all the time that you don't have to dress up for them in caked up make-up and short skirts to impress them. They'll like you the way you are.
And girls who don't talk a lot can be seen as 1) shy, 2) stuck up, or 3) intriguing/mysterious. You want #3 if anything, but #1 isn't bad either for most guys. All you want is to not come off as stuck up or conceited. Try being a little more outgoing, or smile even if you are quiet. Just try to give a good first impression.
As for kissing, as long as you guys like each other and YOU'RE enjoying it, he'll enjoy it. Just don't get too messy, be enthusiastic, and just go with the flow.

Do lemons make you skinner ?? (link)
|
Well if all you ate was lemons for a few months, you would definitely lose weight, but that's pretty much physically impossible, so I'm guessing you're asking if lemon juice is a dietary supplement.
The answer to that is no. It makes your water taste better without making it less healthy and can give some dishes a little kick, but it does have some sugar in it. It is a fruit. It's not bad for you, but it won't speed up your weight loss.
One thing that could help is grapefruit. It's bigger, lasts longer, and is supposed to accompany weight loss. One grapefruit a day could ultimately help you out.

|
Do vegies make you fat at all ???? (link)
|
The first person IS right, but she made it sound like if you cooked vegetables instead of eating them raw, then it's bad for you. That isn't the truth.
If you eat veggies raw, then yes, of course, it's extremely good for you. In fact, most vegetables have negative calories, which means you burn more calories digesting it than you take in when you eat it. So you're actually not taking in any calories, and perhaps burning a couple, while you EAT. So, that's always good.
Cooking vegetables doesn't take the nutritional worth out of it. For example, boiling broccoli, adding a bit or butter or something similar with less fat (like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter or something) and some salt (but don't overdo it...there's also salt substitutes that are supposedly not as unhealthy as salt) and you have a dish that is healthy, not at all fattening, and it tastes better than chewing on a piece of raw broccoli.
Just don't drown veggies in tremendous amounts of butter or cheese. If you don't do that, then you'll be good to go.
Salads are great, just like the last person said. But then again, salad dressing isn't. Low fat dressings or oil, if you can stomach it, are the best choices.
All in all, except for water, vegetables are the healthiest thing you can consume...for what it's worth.

well me and muh boiifrined jusr broke up and i rally liked him. lets just say i was really hooked. and i think he left me for another gurl but i aint sure. and this is like the third time i get muh heartbroken this bad. and im so thinkin bout becomin a lesbian. wut should i do?? (link)
|
Ok, wow, well first of all, you can't "become" a lesbian. You're either a lesbian or you're not. You can't just choose one day that you're going to be with girls. It doesn't work that way unless you are indeed ATTRACTED, physically/emotionally/sexually to girls. And that's something you can't just change.
And another thing. I'm guessing you're quite young. You can't give up on guys because you've had some break-ups. You're going to go through A LOT of break ups, even if you could indeed "turn" lesbian. Girls are just as much trouble, trust me, they just have different equipment.
You just have to date, have fun, and try not to get involved in too much drama or fall for someone too fast. Keep your head up and eventually you'll find the right person.

does anyone know any songs similar to big girls dont cry. as in the lyrics. about having to move on with life and still loving someone. thanx. i need a new myspace song ;p
(link)
|
Exactly TWO of the songs given to you are actually available on MySpace and neither of them are similar to Big Girls Don't Cry. I'll give it a shot and we'll see how it works out:
Katherine McPhee- Over It
JoJo- Too Little Too Late
Mariah Carey- Don't Forget About Us
Avril Lavigne- When You're Gone
Aaliyah- Miss You
Pink- Who Knew
Jessica Simpson- I Belong to Me
I know some country ones too and probably some alternative/rock, but I wasn't sure if you'd be into that. Not sure if any of these will float your boat, but I hope that helps.

Okay so I was reading how other girls masterbate on clitical.com and this girl said she used a sharpie and a toothbrush. Well I decided I might as well try it. And I was wondering since I used those..if I could still be a virgin? (link)
|
You could stick a 12 inch dildo up there and still be a virgin.
Technically, you are a virgin until a penis penetrates your vagina. If it's not a real penis, it doesn't count.
If you're referring to breaking your hymen, that doesn't determine if you're a virgin or not. Your hymen can break while you're riding a bike or a horse, not just by penetration. Sometimes a doctor will manually break the hymen, but that doesn't mean you're not a virgin.
No sex=Virgin.

does milk help your boobs grow? haha just wondering (link)
|
No. NOTHING you drink, eat, or otherwise consume will make your breasts grow unless, like the last person says, the rest of you grows with them.
There are all kinds of myths out there about making your boobs grow. For example, playing with them doesn't make them grow. Might be fun for you, but they won't get any bigger.
Not everyone has a D cup...and if you do have a D cup, you probably wish they were smaller so you don't have back problems or trouble finding shirts that fit. Just accept the boobs you have now and if you want surgery later and can afford it, do it.

hey im a guy,13, and im lanky for my age. i was wondering is there any way i can get bigger around my arms and legs. Im quite thin around my waist, legs, arms. the only part of me thats fine is my chest and shoulders. I play rugby so i need to get heavier. any ideas apart from eating shitloads of shit food? (link)
|
The first person was right, but I'll explain.
Eating a high protein diet while working out (body building) at the gym will give you more mass while avoiding a large body fat percentage. You should gain healthy muscle instead of unhealthy fat.
Good luck.

i heard somewhere that one bark of hershey's dark chocolate counts for your day's vegetables serving. it sounds like a load of bull, but is it true>? (link)
| |
No, that's not true. BUT, if you're going to eat chocolate, dark is the healthiest kind.

my sister just told me that my other sister was bisexual and my sister and i are really close or at least i thought we were and iam just in so much shock right now and i don't know how to handle it it's just that we've always told each other every thing. (link)
|
I don't really understand what you're asking for.
Your sister is bi. You guys are close and tell each other everything. She TOLD you she's bi. So...what has changed?
So she's bi, it doesn't matter. It shouldn't matter to you at all. It has nothing to do with you. She's still the same sister she was when you didn't know she was attracted to girls.
If you have a problem with her being bisexual, that's definitely not something she can/will just change for you.
|
ok. so theres this boy.. i somewhat like him and im pretty sure he used to like me.. but now he barley talks to me.. how do i get him to "chase me".. like get him interested and show him that he's the one who wants me..
hopefully that makes sense (link)
|
NOTE: First of all, I DID answer your question, so a 2 probably isn't the most accurate rating. But the reason I didn't get a fair rating was because I made a comment that you did not like. When you ask a question on advice website, you have to expect OPINIONS. Also, if you want people to give you an accurate analysis of your situation, you need to give more details. If you want people to understand the dilemma, you can't just expect them to know. And yes, I read the question, you still sound starved for attention.
Um, well you can't MAKE someone like you. If he does, he does. If he doesn't, there's nothing you can do to change that.
If you're interested in him, FLIRT with him. If he likes you and knows you're interested, he may pursue you.
However, you said you "somewhat" like him. If you don't like him enough to seriously date him, it wouldn't be a good thing to do to lead him on just because you're starved for attention.
Sorry if I was blunt or rude, but your question sent a lot of negative vibes about your personality.
