Unfortunatlely, HTML does not work in buddy profiles. I've tried. However, there are ways around it. If you want to change the colors, you can still click of the color pallet and (after selecting the text), change the color to anything you want... Table can be made by using the tab key, evenly spacing everything. Or, you could just go to a website, like sub-profile or other custom sites and make one yourself. :)

It may just be that you are in an adolescent stage where you are confused about who you love and who you don't. See, there are a lot of Chemicals that are changing you at your age, so your hormones are a lot higher. Thus, hormones make you see different guys in ways you have not yet imagined, and makes you see that of every guy, if that makes sense.
Thus, most relationships in the early teen years are short. I think your dumping may have something to do with the issue that you are at this age, and you thus find most guys attractive.
Just wait a bit of time. Everyone gets over this stage eventually. It is very normal, to be honest.

Sorry... I was one of the people who really got hurt by the E-Mail activation. I had a valid E-Mail, but everytime I tried to log in, it said I didn't. I finally got it validated TODAY... I'm probably going to answer a few questions again, yay! :)

The best way that I have found you can avoid fights is to not get into them in the first place. Whenever anything with me starts to get into a fight, unless it is a class debate, I tend to change what I say a little just so that it stops being fighting words. The less of a stance you take, the less of a fight can be made.

You probably slept on it wrong. Try stretching it by doing trunk twist and leaning to the side. Put some heat on it, and if it does not clear away in a few days, see a doctor.

Yes. They both trespassed and harrassed you if they did it. You can call the cops, and he will probably be arrested.

Hot Dogs and Hamburgers are made out of much of the same thing. They are the remnants after the real beef is made. So, yes, they may use the cheeks of the cow. You never know what it is made of, but if it is beef, it comes from a cow. Where is anyone's guess.

Get her a gift certificate to Kohls or JC Penny, or Limited Too. This way, she cannot get a gift she does not like. :) And all girls like clothing.

Well, in the long run, you need to get your assignments done on time. Yes, I sound like captain obvious in stating this, but hear me out.
I was a lot like you, about 2 years ago with my freshman year. I procrastinated majorly. Most assignments did not get turned in, and I struggled to stay over the border... I eventually got B's because I'm a good test take, that's all. Anyways, I got a motivation, which was to do well in school so that my parents would let me do the musical again. Last year by doing that, I ended up with 4 As and 4 Bs. I went from a B student to and A-B student. This year, I have 6 As.
Moral is that you got to get the work in on time. Get something to motivate you, something you want. Talk to your parents, and strike a deal. "I'll make you a deal. If I get 6 A's this MP, then you let me buy that guitar I want. If not, then I will never bother you about it again." I don't know, something big that you want and they don't.
For this marking period, catch up and do the best you can until the end. It closes out in 3 weeks anyways, and you have a fresh new slate to work off of.

Very normal. At your age, you are at the tail end of puberty. This means that hormones are high. Hormones affect how you think, and part of that is thinking that you want sex. This is why some people do have sex at young ages, such as 12 or 13.
It's very much normal.

Generally, your friends are very much like you. You and them share many of the same personalities and thoughts. However, opposites attract. So, you are attracted to guys with completely different personalities than your friends. As a result, they don't like him, because he is different from them. They want you away from him, so they give you dirty looks, so you want to leave them. He is considered an "Impurity", and they want their friends to be purely the same. For every date runs the risk that you will change to be more like them.
Just some socioanalising, it may or may not be true...

If you are interested in meeting someone new, have you considered using the internet? There are things called community forums, where you meet and get to be friends with completely new people. You have a better chance with forums that aren't focused too tightly around a main idea, so you get to meet the people instead of talk on just 1 subject. AKA, a "1984" forum would not serve you as well as a "Books" forum would.
Oh, and if you are interested in a new guy friend, just start talking to one that's single. Get to know him.

FYI, this came off a lot different than I intended it... Sorry if it sounds sarcastic, it isn't meant to be...

I think they got one just a few days ago, actually. I counted 12, the last time I checked it was 11. Generally, you take a look and see who has rated 200 questions in the last month, and then see which of those has been here the longest. They are what I think of as the "waiting list", although there really is no set thing as that. If you are the one that has been here the longest, my guess is in about 3 months you should become one. No promises though. They are up to the admins, and the next one may not be for a good 3 years. Or, they may promote someone else using something besides that...

Tell your mom that you really want to meet him, and you have a right to, as every child should have the right to meet their parent. Also tell her that you want to form your own opinions on him and stop taking what your mom says about him for granted. Offer to pay for the trip, if you want to, for that always boosts your wants.

I think it was just a joking type of a way. The hug was to show that it was a joke. He did not mean it. Besides, nobody would say something that mean.

Wait. If you ask now, it will seem like you stole him from the last girl. He also still is not over her. Wait for about 2 months.
And when you ask him out, just say something like "Would you like to make me the happiest girl ever?" or something... Something to hint at it...

If you want to diet, I suggest going with a 2,000 calorie a day diet. Generally, on every food you eat, check to see how many calories you are consuming with it. Once you hit 2,000, you are done for the day. Then, you should exercise. Aerobic is the best to burn calories, so I advise running about 3-5 miles a day. Start at around 1, and gradually increase until you get there. For the stomach, do around 100 crunches a night.

First, do not seek proffesional help until you have tried stopping for a very long time. There are at home methods to stop, and proffesional help rarely ever works.
you need to understand why you cannot stop to realise how to overcome it. So, here's a brief overview on cutting.
When you feel physical pain, the pain eventually will go away. This happens because your brain makes something a lot like morphine to ease pain. Well, in cutting, it is released in high doses, and you do become addicted to it.
The only way to stop is a continual basis stop. You cannot relapse, you cannot do an every other day type thing, and you cannot use lesser methods to stop (Rubber band is commonly suggested, it never works.)
So, with a continual basis stop, it works in steps. You start by stopping for 1 day. And then reward yourself with something, anything really that does not include self harm. Then, go another. Go day by day for 5 days, every other day for 10, every 3rd for 15, Every 5th for 20, every tenth for the final 50. This is 100 days cut free. You should be cured by then.
Yeah, easier said than done. There are ways to solve this.
1. Tell somebody. Anybody really. Parents always work best, as they scream at you and you are scared of doing this, but most people opt not to do this (I wonder why? :P). I do not suggest a guidence counselor either, they just tell your parents and do nothing else. Generally, a teacher, or a peer that you find on the web, or an adult you know. Your friends usually do not know how to handle it, and get very emotional over it. I don't suggest them.
2. Find a support group. However much I hate the site, www.teenhelp.org has a cutting support group, so you may want to try there. Otherwise, you can look on the web for "Cutting Support Group", and you get a lot of hits.
3. Have alternatives. I suggest baths for depression, with bubbles (:). I added that. It's not neccassary. :P), punching pillows for anger, and drawing on yourself with red pen if you want to see blood.
4. Do not relapse. Never do anything near self harm, and it helps a lot.

No. People who get depressed in winter having a thing calle S.A.D. It is from lack of sunlight in their life. They generally need to sit in light for a long time each day. That person should see a psychologist immediately.

View->Fonts (May be text size... I'm only a 95), and select Medium or Small. That's what he changed.

THE PENGUIN RULES ALL! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Cough*
Hello! My name is Steven, and I am a mentor. Yes, that does mean that I help other people. I have helped over 1000 people to date, and have helped some individuals for over 1/2 a year. The miracle of my life occurred 17 years ago. I say miracle only because 1/4 babies survive to be born.
I am the first born of 2 children, and I am also the black sheep. I listen to Classical Music, so you can call me a weirdo. :P. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so take no offense if my answers never seem to end.
In school, I get As and Bs. More Bs really. I play trombone, and was the section leader of the trombones at my school. This year, I am the captain of the entire brass section. I am an Eagle Scout, so I guess that says I'm persistant? You make the call. I am a 3 time varsity letter winner, looking for a 4th next winter. I also participate in the musical, where I am a Bass 2. :)
I am straight, and have never had a relationship beyond a friend. However, I have survived the bumps in the road, and can advise you if you wish it. Though, it's not my strength.
I'm here for you, and only you. That means that my advise will not always confort you. Heck, it may even scare you. Yet, I want you to do what is best for your mind. Not what is typically seen as best for you, but what YOU see best for YOU. Heck, if you wanted what was seen as best for you, you would've asked your parents what you should do. They give you what's typically best.
Alright, before I start getting tendinitis from writing that over and over again, I'll just say what I mean. I mean that if you ask me about something, let's say walking 10 miles a day, and I think it's rediculous, yet you are asking for something to do, I am NOT going to say "10 miles is the type of a thing a anorexia athletica would do. Try 5." I'll give you something to do.
Oh, and I'm a L1 moderator, which means I rate questions.

Don't hesitate to IM me, I'm usually on. If I'm not, just drop one in the Inbox!

Oh, by the way, I am liberal in everything. That means that abortion is a woman's RIGHT, and gay marriage should be LEGAL.

Ask away!
-Steven
