Does anyone know a really good pop-up blocker I can download for free? I already have like two on this computer, but I still get pop-ups like crazy! Rawr.

This is not really a pop-up blocker but this removes spyware and adware from your computer. GO to
www.windows.com And click on the link that says"download anti-spyware beta" trust me it really works.

I was hanging out with a group of my friends the other day after school. We were just hanging out having a good time and one of my friends pulls out a joint and lights it. She started passing it around our group of friends and everyone took a puff of it but me. I basically just stood there confused. These innocent girls that I had known since I was 6 years old had just lit up a joint and smoked it. I am completely disgusted by drugs and drinking and I will never do it because it's the worst thing you can do to yourself. They started making fun of me that I wouldn't smoke it. I wasn't hurt that they were making fun of me, but I was just hurt at their stupidity for smoking it. I don't know what to do. They've been my friends for a very long time and have always been loyal to me, but this is something I can't handle. What should I do? Should I tell them they should stop? I'm so confused! Please help.

Wow you're in a tough position, but good job for not breaking down to peer pressure. You should definetely talk to them about it and tell them that it makes you feel uncomfortable. Also, I'm not sure if you want to do this, but your school might have a Drug counselor. If so talk to the counselor about your friends and she might be able to help them. Good luck.

me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 months and we really love eachother ALOT...and everything is absolutley perfect with him except for the fact that we go to different schools (and live about 7 minutes away)..and we get 2 see eachother alot for a long distance relationship....but i ALWAYS have to go to him...like i go to church with him (his church, i dont have one) every wednesday and i always have to g o to his house to hangout with him...he can never come to mine..well hes came before..but not alot ...and his parents wont let him...i dont know what to do my mom is like why doesnt he come over here sometimes? cuz she always takes me there....but ya..wat can i do

Invite him over your house one day. and if he says no then ask him why. And since your relationship isn't really long distance since you only live 7 min. apart how come you can't meet at places in between your houses like the movie theatre or something.

I am not pretty at all ,what so ever, I'm short and skinny. I don't have many friends and am not popular. Also my teeth are all messed up and can't get braces for a while. How can I get friends and be prettier?

Join clubs so that you'll be able to meet new people, trust me that works. Be more confident in yourself, and that will attract more people to you because no one really wants to be friends with a person who feel sorry for themselves all the time. As for being pretty try wearing some make up, and I'm sure you're pretty anyway.

I've got a question about my friend. I think she may have some serious mental problems. This morning in first hour she was writing a note to someone (I didn't know she was). Well, I glanced over in her direction and she flipped the paper, turned to look at me, and said: "Stop reading my fucking note! God, are you ever going to leave me alone?!?!" So, I asked: "...what...note?" She rolled her eyes and moved to another seat. So, naturally, I was in my seat thinking "What the hell did I do?" Anyway, in third hour she sat beside me again. Again, she was writing notes and I didn't know that she was, so I turned around to talk to her. She FREAKED out and starts yelling about how I'm a nosy bitch. I was ...basically speechless. I mean, it's like she's got some mental problem with excessive paranoia. For instance, yesterday in our Study Hall my boyfriend and I were writing notes to each other. My friend wanted to look at them, and because I said no, she automatically assumed that they were about her and proceeded to call me a bitch. They weren't even remotely related to her. If I talk to anyone other than her she automatically thinks that I'm talking about her or telling them secrets about her. She spreads horrible lies about couples at our schools, including me and my boyfriend. Sometimes I wonder if I should get her some counseling to try to help her out. She's excessively paranoid. I think she may be bi-polar as well (either that or she has some SERIOUS mood swings). For example, in P.E. one morning she was on a different team than me and was so mad at ME that she rammed me up into the bleachers. After P.E. she cussed me out in the locker rooms for being a "complete asshole." Then at Lunch two periods later she acted like nothing was wrong, or that nothing had ever happened. In the hallway this afternoon, I was joking about her using her cellphone (which is strictly against the school rules) and she lost it. Is this just normal teenager behavior or does my friend need some serious help? All advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like she needs some serious help. You're a very patient person to be putting up with that, because if someone rammed me into bleacher I wouldn't talk to them again. I would definetly seek some help for her because it sounds like she needs it.

Hey. Umm well I just started cutting and I don't want to cut my wrists because people will see the marks but where else would you suggest??

No where. You should get help or find another alternative to cutting like doing something relaxing to get your minds of your problems.

Heyy.....i have this friend, lets say she trys to make people annoyed really bad. Caz for christmas i went to her house and everything and she was like oh look i got this really cute tiffany bracelet and i looked at it and you can tell that it is a fake one and you can tell from far away...i was gonna tell her but then im like wat ever screw it. Then she cames to school one day and was on a field trip..and she had a fake louis vuitton purse, it looked real but i know what makes those kinds of purses fake or not, and she was like what you think i cant afford a louis vuitton purse or something?? I was gonna tell her that her parents probably bought it in China Town in New York caz the purses there look so real and all. Shes living in a lie she belives everything her parents tell and all and im very high mantaince....not trying to be bichty and spound spoiled...but i know about these things caz i own alot of tiffany,luis vuitton, coach, donney & borke and abercrombie and hollister and shyt like that. I really pisses me off when she tells me that i dont know anything and all so what should i do???Ohh yea now she mad @ me caz she thinks that i keep talkin shyt bout her which is not true @ all. Ohh one more thing....me and her are also best friends and i want to know what i should do with this...

"confused"

If you guys were really best friends then you really wouldn't be so concerned with superficial things such as designer purses or w/e. If she wants to believe that her stuff is real let her. But just ignore it. She's probaly jealous of you because you can afford those things but she can only afford the fake things. My advice is just get over it because do you really want to ruin your friendship over a fake designer bag?

I always study for test really hard. But all the time when I get the test back I made an F. I just get nervios and mess up. How can I get over it? I dont want to study all the time like I do and all I get is an F. It will really help me if yall tell me how to get over the freakking out on the test.THanks


I rate high (4&5)

First you should still study. But when you get the test, just take a deep breath and chill out. You're most likely getting so freaked out that you just forget everything. Don't stress out over the test just relax and be confident that you know the answeres

I think about sex all the time.....but i know if it came down to doing it i wouldnt do it...I dont want to have sex but i think about it all tha time....im plannin on waitin until marriage...but wat do these thoughts mean?

IT's probaly just your hormones or something. But I personally think you should wait until you're married or at least until you've found someone special.

ok so a tv show i saw a cook have chicken with chocolate sauce onthe plate, i thought would this be weird? How do u think this would taste? Would it be ok if i cooked it for my family one night? the other part of it is that it was a pile of chicken in the middle of the plate and the chocolate sauce was around it with roasted peppers on it, was the chocolate for the peppers or the chicken?
Thanx sooo much! MWAAAAHZ I rate high
~^*^NAOMI^*^~

hmm.. That sounds interesting. I would try to get the recipe just to make sure it would taste how its supposed to.

Okay, my period is coming every 2 weeks now, like it will end at 2 weeks later it will start again..is that normal or should I be worried that I'm pregnant..b.c I read that pregnant people get 'spotting'. But my periods are like 5 days and heavy..please explain

If you were pregnant then your period wouldn't be coming at all. Go to the doctor, and he'll probaly put you on the pill to regulate your cycle.

I'm 16 years old and I seriously need a job. I worked at Target over the summer and retail is...just definitley not my thing. Are there any jobs you can suggest where I can make money, but don't involve retail? Also, what are some good ways to make LOTS of money?

At 16 i think your options are kinda limited to really just retail. unless you work at an office filing papers or something.

My boyfriend went to my window yesterday but my mom was in the next room awake. Its now 2:15 and he left because it was really cold but is there anyway that i can get him inside without my mom or dad noticing i need to get him in my room! He is really nervous that he will get caught because if we do then most likley i wont ever be able to see him again and were next door neighbors! Help please!!!

How come he just can't come in through the front doors and you guys can hang out where your parents would feel comfortable? that seems like it would be a lot easier. Or how bout you guys go to his room to do w/e you're trying to do.

I like this guy so much and i dont even think he knows i exist i mean like i talk to him all the time but all he ever tells me is about his girl problems and how they all piss him in off when i know deep inside me we are meant for eachother but i dont know what to do...HELP!


First i would become friends with him, and then casually just start flirting with him. Or you could just straight up tell him that you like him.

My friend wasn't feeling good today so i asked him how he was and told him to go to the nurse he seemed very upset with me for some reason. well tommorrow we are taking the bus together and i was wondering should i do anything? i like this guy and he said he likes me to!

If I were you I really wouldn't worry about it because to me it seems silly for a person to be mad at a friend who's just trying to help them. So you should just say hi to him and ask if he's feeling better.

(sorry for the length) Ok my boy friend and I have been together for roughly seven months. A week before we started going out we would stay up till like 4 or 5 in the morning talking with each other. Now he seems to be more interested in a comnputer game than in me. When we're both online at the same time he doesn't seem to want to talk to me much. Well a few months back his friend sent me this conversation they had about me and it really hurt me because my bf said some very hurtful things about me. I asked him aobut it and he had stayed home sick the day that conversation occured and was on a lot of medicne and he blamed it on that. After I read that conversation I thought my heart broke. I want to tell him that I love him and I want to know if he feels the same way about me, but I'm kinda afraid of what his response would be. What should I do?

I think you should so want you have already planned to do. This way, if he loves you then your relationshop will be good again, but if not then think of it as a good because its better to get out of a relationship before it gets really bad.

I have a huge problem..im only 13 and weigh 98 pounds but i love to eat!! When i get home from school i eat like a bag of popcorn, some chips, and a salad just to make myself feel better. I excercise but not like a TON. and im healthy ..so whats wrong? I eat breakfast, then a snack, lunch, then a snack and dinner, then dessert. But, when im bored or sad - i eat. even if im not hungry..how do i stop this eating problem ?? =/

when you're bored find something else to do quickly so it will immediately take your mind off of food. try to make your snacks and desserts healthy like a bowl of fruits or something like that.
