I've been saving up to get an iPod. My mom says that if I can get $100 She'll buy me a 60GB iPod.

But I also kinda want a cell phone.

I know that the cell phone will in time cost more, but I'm not sure which one I want more. I really want an iPod, and I have the possibility, because I have $71 out of $100 for it.

But I really want a cell phone too.

I'm so...stuck.

i say get the cell phone cuz it will be more useful. an ipod is about as a cd player or the radio. so use your money in a better way. plus i think ipods cost between $150- $200.

To give a bit of background information, my boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and are madly in love with eachother. I gave him my heart.. as well as my virginity and he did the same. But the past few weeks, I've been doubting our relationship. I'll be having dreams of being with ex boyfriends or just other guys, particularly this one guy named Luis. He's a very good friend of mine and a total flirt around me. For a second I thought I had feelings for him and I actually concidered breaking off my over one year relationship with the love of my life for this guy, Luis.I realized it was stupid to end something that is SO good for something that is only going to last a few months IF that much. I called my boyfriend and I was barely crying and, I should've known he would be able to tell I was because as soon as I said hi he said "What's wrong why were you crying?" (He knows the sound of my voice when I'm happy or sad and everything in between like the back of his hand). I told him what happened and I kept saying "Baby, I'm so sorry I don't want to lose you." He told me everything would be okay, but now when I talk to him he seems so distant? If that would be a word to describe it. He's in Maine right now, and I'm back home in New Jersey so I can just like go over and see him right now. I don't know what to do, he just isn't acting the same now, I didn't do ANYTHING with Luis, I'd never do that to my boyfriend. What do I do? I don't want to hurt my boyfriend anymore, I feel so guilty for even having those thoughts. Can anyone please help?

I'm 17 he's 18. (link)
Well i think you love your current boyfriend alot and you just need some help and you told hime and hes hurt...maybe you guys just need time to yourselves ive never lost my virginity and i havent had a bf for a year or even close to it sry...everything will get better

i live around chicago IL, and were having a drought, so its really hot around here. it gets really humid - and my hair is naturally wavy. if i scrunch it and wear it curly, it gets frizzy, and if i straighten it and wear it straight, it doesnt stay striaght, it puffs up etc. i have to go to summer school every day from 8-12, and i have very thick and quite long hair, what are some easy hair styles that i could do quick in the morning that doent look sloppy? (link)
pull it off your back put it into a bun or ponytail...maybe a headband with a ponytail tht would be cute idk though


Alright, I've been bulimic for like 8 months...throwin up about 3 times a week...how long do i have to not throw up to not be considered bulimic?

i go to the gym everyday for 1hr + 30min. I wanna loose 20lbs in 2 months. (right now im 101lbs...and i know thats not A LOT but im short...) do you know any good diets? is there anything else i can do besides excersise? (link)
ok...well if you start eating more vegatables and fruit that may help and the south beach diet is a good one i heard atkins works but it didnt work for me...well getting a good amount of sleep at night and eating at least 6 small meals and no snacks are some ways


i found out my best friend likes me.. but i dont like him!! i like one of his good friends tom. but hes sweet and pretty good looking but i dont think hes boyfriend material. i went 2 a party with him and some of his friends and my friends and i was kinda flirting with tom and you can tell he was getting jealous and now he doesnt wanna talk 2 me, but tom gave me his phone number nd now we talk non-stop!! i dont know what 2 do! please help me!!!!! (link)
well.. i think you should talk 2 your best friend rather than some crush, your best friend will always be there 4 youu no matter what & they are more important 2 youu. i think that youu should talk 2 him and say that youu don't feel the same way about him as youu do with Tom. but how do youu kno he's not boyfriend material? youu never know until youu date him so he might be boyfriend material & you dont even kno it. just talk 2 him & then if hes okay with it then start talking 2 Tom more.. let your relationship grow `♥//

think of which one in the long run would be better to have or even better to use ipod batteries run out so fast but phone batteries can last a while and cells will be more money but they can have many different uses too


Ok, I'm 17/f and I just had a baby. He's 3 weeks now and I'm having a hard time supporting him. His dad won't do anything. He says that he's not sure if it's even his which is a completely false because I gave my virginity to him. He said he won't pay a time until he knows that it's his so he wants a paternity test. So I arranged for the test and he never showed up. He gave me a bogus excuse but I said fine and scheduled another one. We've gone through this process 5 times and he still won't help me or even get the test done. I dropped out of school and I'm working 2 jobs to try and support him because I have no family to help me. My best friend has been an angel she's been taking him to the school and putting him in the day care center so that I can work. She's also been watching him after school for me. I've tried paying her but she refuses the money. She's only one that I have helping me. I need his help. I just don't have enough money. I don't want to put her in foster care because I grew up in different foster homes and I refuse to put her threw that. I think that things would be fine if I could just get him to pay even a little child support. How do I go about taking him to court for child support? Do I need to hire a lawyer for this or can I do it on my own? If he needs to have a paternity test done is there anyway that I can make sure that he will actually show up?? Please help me I'm really confused. I will rate 5's to anyone who tries.

(link)
It seems to me that your babys father knows its his thats why he wont show up and i know that in michigan you can take him to court but the judge will probably make him take that test and im pretty sure you dont need a lawyer because its not like you murdered someone you just need child support and your friend you should be thankful for


Ok, my girlfriend is pregnant and she's really worried about it. We're both 19 and this wasn't planned or anything. We talked about it for a long time and we both agreed that we want to keep it. Her parents disowned her when she was 18 becasue she started to see me, because she was raised catholic and I'm not catholic. I felt that was rediculous because I have nothing against catholics and I was willing to join the church if it meant I could be with her but she decided that she didn't want that...anyway her parents won't be helping us with her pregnancy and with the baby so we're on our own. (my mother is dead and I've never met my father) I know that she's going to be going through a lot with her pregnancy and I was wondering if anyone knew how I could help her get through with a little more ease. I'm working two jobs one full time and the other part time so I'm not around that much. But is there anything that I can do to be of any help to her or is there anything that I should look out for? I was also wondering about taking care of baby. If anyone has any tips about taking care of baby that would be a big help as well. Thank you for the advice and I will rate a five for any help.

Marry her if you are not married already so her parents dont full hate you...i know you guys seem to love each other alot and i dont think you would ever disown her...the best thing to do is if you can afford it is have an apartment and be ready for the baby but whatever you do you are a father now and you are responsible for this kid and dont you dare leave her...its going to be hard for the both of you financially i understand but dont leave her cuz the baby is your kid too


I'm thinking about making a cd with all the songs that make me think of the guy I like (much too weak a word, believe me) and then giving it too him, but I'm not sure what message that would send. We've been best friends for about five years, and while i'm willing to risk a great friendship for what i feel would be a better relationship, I don't want him to think i have a secret shrine to him in my closet (i don't, btw). any advice on how this might make him feel or the possible consequences to my following up on it?

15/f (link)
haha he wouldnt think you have a secret shrine in your closer if i were you id give him the cd and if hes doesnt like you and tells you that just be like i didnt say tht it was just a gift to a good friend...or if he likes you than you can say i like you too and maybe you can start dating...this is probably one of the smartest ideas ive ever heard giving a guy a cd and im sure hell love it
