I've recently become very much in love with Five Iron Frenzy and think that ska music on the whole is the greatest type of music ever. I've been meaning to look around for other great ska bands, but I don't know where to look! Does anyone know of any good ones that have cds I could check out?
Look at who they toured/tour/will tour with. That's how i find a lot of my music. I look at other artists that open for them or that are related to them through concerts!

One of my really good friends has been really really depressed ever sence her and her bf broke up. A few days ago she started to cut herself.I am really worried about her. Only me and a few of her friends know that she is doing it. I really want her to stop it because I am scared that she is going to do something she will regret. It hurts me a lot to see her like this. I am in practically the same situation that she is in. I want to help her and we always talk about it. ButI feel like there is not much I can do for her right now but try and always be there for her. What should I do?
Being there means knowing when to get help. Hopefully she will get over her bf before she ends up causing major damage to herself. If the cutting is getting serious you need to get your friend help ASAP by telling a trusted adult. Hurting yourself does not solve your problems, it just temporarily numbs the emotional pain and puts in into something physical. Although i agree that emotional pain is far worse than physical pain, cutting yourself is not the answer. Best of luck and keep me updated!

Alright this is kind of weird... but i mean i want to know if this just happens to me. Alright when i masturbate i do it for a while and what not, but like after a while it gets really tender and i'm not turned on anymore and i get this pulse feeling down there. and my boyfriend has like rubbed down there and it happened. Does that mean i orgasmed? Or what is it? Sorry that sounds SO dumb but I have no idea. Is it just me?! help people! does this happen to you?
what you described is definitely considered an orgasm however you may not have reached full climax. While an orgasm feels good, it is the pulse feeling you get in your vaginal area-when you climax everything relaxes and what can be described as a "spine tingling sesation" occurs. hope that helped

I have a xanga right now and i was wondering what were some cool things you could do it you dont have premium besides music and a cool background. Also is it possible to have pictures on your weblog entrys w/o premium, if so how do you do it? Thank a million! I rate high :)
This is how i add pictures to my xanga-i am not a premium member:
1) save the pictures to somewhere on your computer
2) go to www.tinypic.com. Browse for the pictures you want and then itll automatically shrink it for you and give you 3 options
3) Copy and paste the link that is compatible with xanga
4) go to your xanga and a new weblog entry click the "pic" button and paste the address
VOILA! hope it works!

Okay so i need some help in helpin out my best friend.. so here goes with some background information. my friend met this kid over the summer at her camp, well it turns out he lives in the neighborhood where we go to school at. well my friend chills with him sometimes and she really likes him ALOT, but the thing is he says he doesn't want a girlfriend and everything but he's trying to get my friend to have sex with him!! i mean she asked me for advice and i told her she shouldn't because i mean she's 14 and she shouldn't lose her virginity to this guy who she doesn't even go with.. and it's kind of obvious that all he wants is to hit it.. well she went to 2nd base with him and i'm afraid she's gonna do it with him and he's gonna like stop talkin to her or just use her for sex. i mean i don't want that to happen to her but she won't listen to me she like wants him to like her. and he'll say all this stuff like yea after we have sex we'll go out, and i'm like yea bullshit. but she believes his lies and she needs to wake up and smell the coffee..lol.. so what can i do to help her out? help me out please. thankies i'll rate you too.. buh bye.
having been in a situation somewhat similar to that of your friend id have to commend you for being a good friend to notice what shes getting herself into. Sometimes its a lot easier to notice the mistakes people make when you are on the outside looking in. The most you can do for your friend is WARN her about the consequences of sex including pregnancy and mental/emotional/physical changes. Give her your take on the whole situation-she may or may not listen and in any case be there for her and support her decisions regardless of the outcome. Sometimes experience is the only thing that can get through to a person. In any case I hope she trusts and respects your judgement and opinions. Let me know how it works out.

Um.. ok what is a yeast infection and how do you cure it? Im waaaaaaaaay to modest to go to the doctors about and and ill refuse to so ya help me!!!!
yeast infections are easily taken care of but can get serious if not properly addressed right away. Go to your drug store and pick up an over the counter yeast infection medication-if you want the pills to take care of a yeast infection i believe you need a doctor's prescription. best of luck

ok well im going to lucnh with a boy today idont kno wut to talk to him about plz give me alotta ideas i dont wanna bore him!! hes sweet cute and popular!! plz help ill rate a 5!
signed- confused
hey sweetie! first things first. You should always be yourself! First talk about things you did today stuff thats going on in your life-make it light im sure he doesn't wanna know ALL the drama in your life, but simple things like what you have planned for that weekend or things you'd like to do in your free time. Then FLIP IT AROUND! Ask him about his interests and what he's into. Always make sure the conversation is going both ways so its not a one sided conversation with yourself. Good luck and have a great lunch date!!! Let me know how it goes!

Today I was sitting in class and I just picked up this needle thing and started running it up and down my arm. I don't know why but then I started scratching myself with it really badly so that I had marks all over my arm. After school, my boyfriend saw but he made a joke of it. I think I did it because I want attention because my parents don't really give me any. I was really upset that my boyfriend didn't care, does it show that he doesn't care about me? Everybody that saw what I had done just ignored me.
whoa. first off inflicting harm upon yourself is not a smart way to get attention. It sounds like this is something that just started and what you described in your post could be the beginning of a serious and terrible habit. Your boyfriend making a joke of it shows that he is uncomfortable with the issue of self inflicted harm. If you continue to do this please seek medical help. Your problem could escalate into something serious and deadly! Best of luck! Please let me know how everything works out.

I'm 17 and my parents are divorced. I live with my mom. I've accepted the fact that I have to spend time with my dad and most of the time its not too bad. Lately things have seemed a little off. I don't want to spend time with him. I'm so stressed out when he's around. I love my brother to pieces but its worse when him and dad are together. They fight like kids and I have to seperate them. I hate being the adult. I'm the daughter and the sister not the wife or the mother. Personally I think when I leave I just won't tell him where I'm going and that'll be the end of it... but I know that would hurt him.
It sounds like the divorce has been really hard on your entire family and you feel like your shouldering most of the weight. Divorce in the family can be a great cause of stress and irrtability. Please don't blame yourself. It sounds like you need someone to talk to whether it be a trusted adult or someone at school. It's not fair that so much of this burden falls upon your shoulders. Stay strong-i know its hard to but this is your family and people you love so its worth it! Best of luck keep me updated!

I've been with my boyfriend for about 6 months and we really love eachother. We've talked about the whole sex thing and agreed that we'd wait until we were together for a longer period of time. My boyfriend said that he's ready whenever I'm ready but he doesn't want to pressure me into anything that I don't want to do. The thing is, I really AM ready. I know that he is the one that I want to lose my virginity to him and he wants to lose his virginity to me. Every time I see him, I get tempted to do more and more with him but I have to stop myself. It's not that I'm scared it's just that I feel that we haven't been together long enough to be doing anything like that. I trust him and I know he won't hurt me. I don't want to become tempted and do that. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can avoid myself from being tempted? I can't have sex with him, it's not the right time for us yet. Thanks so much if you can help! If anyone is in or has been in my situation, tell me how you handled it or how you are handling it.
AH! You must be going crazy! If you have ANY doubts WHATSOEVER do not go through with it. Along with the emotional attachment you gain from having sex it is also a very serious thing. You may be physically ready to have sex but not emotionally ready. You'll know when the right time is. And when you do finally do it, itll be special to you and not just cuz you felt like it was the next logical step. Waiting also strengthens the relationship between you and your boyfriend. Best of luck-i hope everything works out for you.

ok well when im at school everybody seems to like me and all but there are always rumors going around of bad stuff about me and i dont know what i am doin? is it because everytime i get dumped i go out with another boy? people have been calling me a slut ever since ive been hanging out with the popular people i dont know what to do i bc im never mean to any1 but i dont know what im doing wrong? i know this question is hard to answer but i need help!!!!
Rumors make up a lot of high school conversation and i know this is cliche but it doesn't matter what other people think of you, its what you think of yourself. High school is all about finding yourself and finding out who YOU are. People can talk, let them! i know it takes awhile before you are able to let it slide off your back but be strong and hang in there. In terms of going out with a new boy, your social/sex life is PERSONAL!!! Anyways good luck!!!

I have a crush on my best friend thats a guy! He doesn't know but I don't know how to tell him and I know he doesn't like me like that...But how should I tell him I like him? I RATE HIGH AND GIVE GOOD COMMENTS!
i think that is one of the toughest positions to be in because on one hand you don't want to screw up the friendship and on the other hand you have a strong attraction to this guy who you know really well. Personally i think its a good idea to get your feelings out there and if he's ur friend he'll be able to be honest with you about his feelings. Even though a relationship might not be in the near future, it is still better to be open with him. Hey who knows maybe in a few years things might change and he might like you back! Good luck and let me know how it works out?

Okay heres my deal I wanna become a famous singer not because they have perfect lives but because they make people happy n stuff! But anyways i don't know how to I live in cincinnati ohio n u know its not tht big of a town where famous people come from(Nick Lachey and Sarah Jessica Parker are the only people i can think of)! But how can I become famous?
xox Lissy xox
I totally know what your feeling! I think everyone out there has a dream or an ambition that they would love to pursue! Your ambition is just a little tricky to get into beacuse not everyone is FAMOUS! Cincinnati, OH is a big city and im sure you could contact a modeling/singing/acting school in your area which could give you advice or tips on how to get started. As you know most singers make their big breaks in NYC or LA but if you are hard working and determined i know you can achieve your dreams at becoming famous! Let me know how it goes and please keep me updated!

Is it better to masurbate or be sexually active with someone? I dont know which one is better to do. Can someone help me?
I think it depends on the person! If you are in a relationship where you feel safe and comfortable, are willing to accept the consequences of sex, and are ready to be sexually active then go for it! However, a safe alternative to being sexually active is masturbation. It is completely safe and healthy for guys and girls to masturbate. It also releases sexual tension and unlike being sexually active you also cut back on all the risks of STDs and Pregnancy! Hope this helps!

Only answer this if you play an insturment please. I play the violin and after school I always have alot of homework and I can never get practicing in and I'm afraid the teacher thinks horribly of me, but I try on weekends to get some practicing done! Does anyone know a good technique to use so I CAN get some practicing done?
LIFE is CRAZY with all the stuff we have going on in our lives WHO the heck can find time to practice right?!?! i totally understand where you are coming from! I used to play violin also and my teachers all thought horribly of me cuz i could never find the time to practice let alone memorize my pieces! The tough part was balancing my busy schedule. The key for me was setting aside at least 30 minutes a day (trust me its hard at first but you can do it) to practice. 30 minutes will make ALL the difference. When you start to master time management it will become easier and easier to find time to practice. Best of luck! Keep playing cuz im regretting that i didn't keep up with it.

I just moved to arizona from texas.. my best friend cried wen i left, and said that i would always be her best friend.. but its a couple of months after i moved, and she doesnt seem to pay much attention anymore.. She never calls, writes letters, or emails... we talk to eachother on AIM sometimes, but wenever i talk to her im so happy! but i feel like she is forgetting about me even though she says im not.. i get so depressed about it, and i cry.i would do anything for her!! she is soo important to me! we tell eachother everything and anything.. wat can i do to get her to relize wats shes doing to me without hurting her feelings?
Hey! First off im so sorry your best friend moved :( My best friend went off to college this year and shes about half way across the country. As sad as i was i came to the realization that things change AND PEOPLE change and its all inevitable so first you gotta accept that. Its definately gotta be hard for you to get adjusted to your new surroundings not to mention 1) get to know the area/people, 2) make new friends, 3) find ur place to fit in. So instead of living back at home i think itd be better to focus your energy on getting adjusted to your new surroundings. Being a best friend means being there for your friend even when shes not there for you. I know that can be hard but let her know you are there for her. When my best friend moved away for college we decided to designate a time each week when we would call each other. So far its working great!!! Keep me updated and stay strong. I believe you can work it out.

Ok: so i love scary movies... spook houses, and doing the ouiji board. I live down in the basement all alone and after seeing freaky movies... like Saw I can't sleep. I think that there in my basement gonna come kill me.. and even though I'm 16... i still sleep with my t.v. on all night... even though I can't stand a speck of light in the night i LOVE watchinng scary movies... but i get so scared I sometimes cry! What can I do?
OMG! You are exactly like me! I love them to death. After i saw "SAW" i got so scared i was debating whether or not i should sleep in my parents room! (kinda stupid huh???) What helps me after i watch scary movies is to watch a funny show on tv, put in a funny movie, or call one of friends who tells great jokes and who i know can make me laugh. If you go to bed with your last thought being of that creepy movie then thats whats gonna play in your mind ALL night long! Try what i do and tell me if it works! Good lukc and sweet dreams
