i have glasses and i really hate them because they keep breaking and go crooked and i look bad in them. i want contacts but my dad thinks they'll ruin my eyes how can i convince him hes wrong? (link)
ask your dad to take you to the eye doctor, and have the eye doctor explain to them how comfortable they can be and everything. your dad probably just wants to hear this all from a professional. and also, if you have any friends with contacts, let them talk to him too and explain to them how they like them and they're eyes aren't ruined or anything so there's proof right there. haha, i'm sure if they ruined people's eyes, proably half the world wouldn't be wearing them right now. ha, anyways. i hope i helped.


Im going shopping tomorow at american eagle and Hollister. i only have around 100 dollars to spend, and both those stores i kinda expensive...so does ne body have ne tips on how to spend my money good at those 2 stores? (link)
if i was shopping where you were, i would just go to Hollister first and look around and see what you like, and make mental notes of them and their prices [ or even write them down ]. then, i'd go to american eagle and write down or mentally note all the stuff that i like there and their prices and then i take a look and see what i'm more willing to buy then other clothes and what i need more. and i also watch out for sales. now, i've seen american eagle have some nice sales, and since summers "over" and schools starting, they should have a bunch of back to school sales and stuff at all the stores, but i've never really seen a fantastic sale at hollister.

another thing you could do is since you've got 100, just split it down the middle. 50 goes towards hollister, and the rest towards american eagle. and like i said, make mental notes or write it down. if you only happen to spend like, 20 at american eagle and there's more you want at hollister, you can spend some more then.

i hope i helped.


I'm starting High School this tuesday.
I'm not scared or excited like everyone else is.

My friends are all going to different schools.
And I have a problem with meeting new people.
I have trust issuses with everyone around me(including strangers), so I try not to get close to anybody.
Everyone judges me as mean because of that.

Because of my hair, kids think I'm emo. and I'm tired of only making friends with kids who listen to emo music.

so, what do I say or do?
I want to meet all different types of people.
and this year isn't a good year for me, so I want to meet people who can help me get through everything. (link)
at the beginning of the year, if there's a dance commitee [sp] or some social event coming up you can help out with, join. or try joining an after school club. that'd be a good way to meet people with the same interests as you, and already something in common.

whenever you're in class, just start talking to the people near you or around the room. ask them if they can help tell you where things in the building are since you're new or ask them what they think of the class and maybe even crack a joke about it. or ask them for help with the assignment, and then just let the conversation go off into wherever. start asking about them and what they like to do, listen to, etc. show you're interested in what they have to say. and just talk to anybody you want, all types of people.

people should stop calling people stuff. just because you have a certain hair cut, you're "emo" now. it really does make me wonder what MY haircut's considered then. -.-


anyways, i hope i helped.


If you're about 5'1-5'3 ish.
How much should you weigh?

what do most people at that height weigh??
(link)
you should weight anywhere from 100 to 115. i hope i helped.


My mom & I are really close and I usually tell her everything. I'm 17 and been with my serious boyfriend for almost a year now. We've just started having sex and it's so hard keeping it from my mom. She thinks I'm not ready & haven't been with my boyfriend long enough. I feel I am and have no regrets. Should I tell her and risk having to leave my boyfriend because of her reasoning or keep this one personal thing from her? (link)
well the right thing to do here would be to tell your mother about it and let her know. because even though it's personal, it's a pretty big personal thing to keep from your mother. if you and your mother are really close and i mean, you've been with your boyfriend for a year, so i would let her know. just tell her,"mom, you know me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year, and lately..we've began having sex. and i know you're probably against it, but i really do love him and i just felt that since i'm 17 years old i can start making some of my own decisions, and i made a choice. but i just wanted to let you know because i usually come to you with everything, and i didn't want to be one of those daughters who sneaks around everywhere lieing to you." [ or something like that ] because i mean, if you and your boyfriend have been dating for a year, i wouldn't say it's EXPECTED of you two to have sex, but most teenagers dating that long would probably have had sex also, so your mother might even be thinking the same thing.

i hope i helped.


I'm 14 and I'm really really really terrified of cancer.

I get sick a lot.
Sometimes I just can't feel some parts of my body. Sometimes I can barely move.

Is there any way to tell if you can possibly have cancer? other than bumps? are their symptoms? and there's no cure for cancer, right?

ah, scary scary stuff (link)
yeah, i agree. cancer is a terrifying thing.

i googled up cancer syptoms, and i got this site:

http://www.cancure.org/cancer_symptoms.htm

it let's you know some of the syptoms and some of the types of cancers you could possibly have if you have those syptoms.

i think depending on the type of cancer you have, there is a chance to beat it. whenever it is found, you can go under kemotherapy [sp] and try to do radiation and reduce the size of it until it hopefully all goes away. or some people have surgery done, depending on where it is. my grandmother had some sort of cancer and she went on kemo and fought it and she's doing pretty good now. but other than that, i don't think they've really, truely found a real cure yet for cancer.

i hope i helped.


i hate going to school everyday and i just hate everything about school. (especially since im a freshman) i know this is sort of hard to answer, but what do you think i should do to enjoy going to school?

ps. im not athletic so i cant do sports lol (link)
i hate school too. what teenager doesn't? the only reason i like going to school is that i have somewhere to go where i can see all my friends everyday and talk to them whereas in the summer, they might be on vacation, they're busy, the friendship was lost, blahblahblah, so it's a good chance to talk to all those friends who you didn't get to talk to over the summer. and there's also new opportunities to make more friends! you can never have enough, right? so basically whenever i'm in school, i tend to focus more on socail purposes, but i'm not saying don't pay attention in class, i do, it's just during lunch and in-between classes, it's all social. you could also join an after school club. do something that interests you, and at the same time, you can make new friends with similiar interests so you know you already got something in common with them. and just think of all the football games, dances, and other stuff there is to go to and enjoy. i hope i helped.


Okay so i'm 14, and my boyfriend is 17.(he just turned it about a month ago, and i am turning 15 in November).

We are seriously crazy about each other, and if you want to say that a 14 doesn't know what love is, then i'm the next closest thing to it. We've been together for about a year (16 days shy). We want to be together forever. Yeah, you can think we're crazy, it's alright. lol. What i'd like to know is, is it normal to feel like this at an age like 14, and is it realistic that we could last forever? (link)
After being together for a year, yes it's completley normal to feel that way when you're that age, or probably any age for that matter. You feel what you feel.


Well, since you asked me if it's realistic if you two could last forever, most chances are no. I'm not saying right here and now you two aren't, but most couples sooner or later break up during their time in high school. But if you guys love eachother enough and are willing to stay together and be faithful and everything, then yeah, you could. :] It all depends on how badly you both want to last.


I hope I helped.


um im 14/f
um i dont need like advice its like more of an opinion

*me and my mom dont really talk like we should i dont avoid her though i just dont like tell her things going on in my life its just always been like that i want her to be involved in my life more but how should i let my guard down ? (link)
me and my mother used to be like that. i would never really talk to her about anything or let her know what was going on. but lately, whenever we're driving somewhere or something, i just start talking obout something that might be bothering me or i want her opinion on. whenever i get ready to talk to her, i just sort of think of it as how i would talk to one of my friends about stuff. i'll just be like,"have you ever had a friend annoy you?" or "i need your opinion on something" [ or whatever topic you're talking about ] and just start it off that way, and it is a little strange at first since you two haven't really talked before, but i'm sure she'll be glad you're starting to, and it'll bring you two closer. i hope i helped.


i have had my period for serverals years now. but the past months it has come every two weeks. it lasts for a week. then two weeks later it is back. is this normal. and why would it do this. (link)
every girl's body goes through different changes at different times and girls are bound to have irregular periods. like my current period was supposed to have about a week and a half ago, and i was getting all worried, but it finally came today. i would suggest going to the doctor or the gyno and checking up and ask them what you should do, and maybe they can put you on the pill to help regulate your period. i hope i helped.


Kinda has to do about my love life and my job.

Right now im really depressed and stuck with a decision i dont want to make. I just really want to cry and let everything out but then again i dont want my parents asking me whats a matter. Is their anything i can do that will make me feel better?

thank you. (link)
What I do is I just play music in my room and then let it all out. Sometimes all people need is a good cry. If your parents ask what's wrong, just tell them you don't feel like talking about it.

But what I also do is to cheer myself up I listen to songs that relate to what I'm going through, or my favorite one to cheer me up. I go shopping, I hang out with my friends, I read a book, I write a story/poem, I draw or paint a picture, I let all my frustrations out by exercising [ so it's two good things in one ]. Sometimes I just blast music real loud and jump around and dance in my room, or I sit down and watch a movie with a bowl of ice cream [ a funny movie ]. Or just do one of your favorite hobbies to cheer up your mood some.


I hope I helped.


Hey!
I'm an 18 year old guy.. and I have found myself to look at gay porn like a lot.. I can't get over how sexy it is.. The sight of two guys making out just arouses me.. especially if they are attractive..
but the thing is.. I have a girlfriend.. and I really love her... like we've had sex like 5 times.. and each time it got better...
I don't want to hurt her.. as I feel very bad after I jack off to gay porn...
Oh.. and I've had sex with like 3 guys (at my best friend's birthday party sleepover).. I didn't know them before.. and I don't keep in contact with them.. except for one of them.. and we keep seeing each other to have sex.. and it's the greatest! He really gives me a good time... I love him too, just like i love my girlfriend...

And I don't know what to do!
Should I stick with my girlfriend or my gay lover of whom I both love with all my heart..

Am I bisexual? or straight? or gay? I just don't know!!!

Please help! (link)
well, first of all, if you both love girls and boys, then you're bisexual.

but i would suggest going towards the guy. i mean, i know you say you love her, but if you truely did, you wouldn't have cheated on her. it wouldn't be fair to her if you were off having sex with another person behind her back.

so i suggest just telling her it's not working out, and break up with her. i'm not sure how honest i'd be with her, though. i mean she does deserve the truth, but her finding out you've cheated on her a couple of times is probably hard enough to take, but it being with another guy might make her feel worse. so for now, just let it be "i'm sorry, but it's not working out." or something. i hope i helped.


So..there was this party that was happening.. my boyfriend invited me but I had to go out of state for a sports related conflict. Anyways, he told me he was going to go without me because it was one of his best friends parties.. so, reguardless, he cheated on me (not only nonstop-make out- but fingered and felt up a girl)- keep in mind he was drunk. it still questions me though- how do you get so drunk you forget about your GIRLFRIEND completely?? Should I stay with him or not? He claims it was because he was so drunk and horny, but he really does love me. TOUCH CALL. Thanks in advance. (link)
I wouldn't forgive him, and I'd dump him. Cheating is cheating to me. I agree with you. I don't think you can be so trashed you can completely forget someone, let alone your girlfriend. If he really loved you, he wouldn't be able to forget about you in two seconds. And he might've not even been that drunk for all you know - it could just be an excuse. Cause he should just think. What if you cheated on him and was like,"Oh. I was drunk. Sorry." Yeah, I think he'd be mad. So. Dump his cheating butt. I hope I helped.


In high school, do most people carry around their bookbag? Or locker when they need to? I'm just scared that my class will be like across the school when I need to locker. (link)
Well, on the first day of school you're allowed to be a little late cause you can just let them know you couldn't find the class or anything, and at the day, see if you can find any quicker hallways or things to get to your locker or if there's a routine you can do. Like last year, I took 3 of my class binders around with me in the morning, did a drop off on the way to lunch, and then grabbed the next three for the rest of the day or whatever. But, you should be allowed to carry your bookbag around. We are at my highschool, and everyone does it. I hope I helped.


Ok, so one of my friends is going to homecoming with the kid i like, like i said in the subject. She knows i like him too. i told her that i started talking to him a lot more and then she went to make her move. i like him A LOT. We arent like, close friends, but we are good enough friends where i tell her who i like.
What can i do to get him back?? i really dont wanna like, let him go. i dont wanna lose him to her. (link)
if she started making her move whenever she noticed you started talking to him more, then she might like him herself. i would talk to her about it and ask her why she would do that and if she likes him or not. if she does, then there's no real way to "get him back" or anything. if she doesn't, then just ask her if you can snag a few dances with him at the dance. and whenever the dance comes up, just walk over and start talking to him whenever you see him. say that he looks real good and if you could maybe snag a dance with him later. [preferably a slow one so you guys can take and you can even flirt ;P ] and then if you don't want to lose him to her, i would suggest trying to make a better move then she did. let him know how you feel and that you like him, and see what he says. if he says he likes you back, that's awseome! if he says no, it's at least better thanting there NOT finding out if he likes you or not. you at least tried to make a move. i hope i helped.


16/f
well there is this guy that i kinda am starting to like. but he was like ohh yeah i cant go out with a girl that cant dance! and i was like yeah blah blah but you see i cant dance for shit! haha like ive never really danced with a boy before..like grinding and stuff. so im worried if a guy asks me to a dance or something and they want to dance i will be so embarassed about it because i wont know what to do! and people will laugh and be like haha she does not know what she is doing! ahhh and this guy doesnt know it either otherwise he will tell his friends and everyone else and they will be like oh my god you dont know how to dance? AHAHA.

yeah.i dont know what to do.. (link)
Well, the next time you go to the school dance, just get there whenever it starts, and people begin to fill the room, most people don't exactly dance right off the bat. They find their friends, talk, whatever. So whenever the songs start, look for people who are dancing and try to mimick how they dance. Nobody in your school is a professional dancer probably, so it doesn't really matter how good you can dance. Grinding isn't that hard, anyways. You basically stand really close to the guy and infront of him and sway your hips in rythm with his. Alot of people at your school'll probably be doing it, so just mimick what they're doing. You can even make a joke out of it. Just be like,"Hahahaa, I can't dance too well, so don't expect me to be perfect, k?" and just smile. So that way, they won't mind as much if you're not like, absolutely AMAZING, haha and maybe they can even help you out. And other than grinding, what I just do is I stand there and just rock back and forth a little and sway my hips. I hope I helped.


16/m a couple of days ago i asked this girl out and she said that she only liked me as a friend and she wanted us to get to know each other better first and then maybe we could try it. i'm ok with that but i dont really know how to get to know her better or anything i dont know what to do. any ideas? (link)
Just ask her to hang out with you sometime wether it be the mall, the movies, etc. And while you're sitting there and just hanging out, just ask her about herself and what she's interested in and what she likes to do and everything. It will show you're interested in her and what she has to say. Open doors for her, offer to help pay for food and such, and just be curteous cause it will show you care and you're polite. And while you're talking with her, just share previous experience and show her you can relate to her and what she's going through/ went through and try to find some things in common. And of course, try and make her laugh. And you can try and flirt with her a little, and see if she flirts back. :] And then if you don't already have it, ask her for your number so you guys can talk more on the phone and improve your guy's friendship, which will hopefully later turn into a relationship. And also, after you hang out with her, the next time you see her, you already would then have a conversation starter about what she thought of the movie, or wasn't the mall a blast and the funny thing that might've happend at the mall, etc. I hope I helped.


i'm 15...and yeah... so... ever since i met this person... she hates me... and she hangs out with my best friend. i know she's a pretty insecure person since she's overwieght and her mom was a whore(literally...i'm not tryin to be mean) and left her as a little kid. and my best friend feels sorry for her. i used to, but her past gives her no right 2 boss me around and treat me like shit. and it's only getting worse every day. i jus can't take it anymore, and i don't know what to do... i've tried avoiding her, but if i do that i can't ever hang with my friend b/c she's always hangin with that person. we play on the same basketball team at school, so during practice she'll boss me around about the stupidest things, and i don't want the coach yo see us fighting b/c try-outs are still going on, so i jus do what she says... i've tried telling my friend about it, but evertime i try i litterally get pushed out of the way by the person. all my other teamates tell me 2 forget them both... but i could never forget my best friend, i care about her 2 much, and she's goin through sum pretty sucky stuff right now (link)
i would just talk to the girl. ask her if she'll step aside for a second because you two really need to talk. if she says no, then just ask her right there cause you got to try to figure this out somehow. just be like,"look, i just want to know. what did i do or say or something that makes you hate me so much? i don't want you to hate me, and i want us to at least be able to talk nicely towards eachother whenever we're trying out and everything. i don't want to be bossed around." and just try talking to her about it. if she keeps bossing you around, don't let her. nobody should boss you around. and talk to your friend about it. just be like,"i'm sorry, i've tried resolving whatever her problem is with me, but nothings worked. so whenever we talk or anything, just make sure she's not there cause i don't want anything to get started, but i don't want to lose you as a best friend or something." [ something like that ]. if nothing here tries to get resolved, i would take the advice of the other girls on your team and just forget them. i mean, i know you don't want to lose your best friend, but if she doesn't try and make time to talk to you and hang out with you without the girl being there when she knows the other girl hates you, she's not putting forth much of an effort. i hope i helped.


I'm in a very sad depressed mood.
Does anyone have any mood lifters
that I could do at home.
Like activities. (link)
Read a book, listen to some music that relates to whatever it is might be making you sad, or just uplifting feel better music, ride a bike, exercise, draw or paint a picture, write a story or song or poem, see if you're allowed to invite a friend over and you two can hang out. Watch a movie and make some popcorn [ a funny movie ]. If it's nice out, take a walk. Put on your favorite song in your room and just dance around [ lock the door though so nobody walks in haha ]. I hope I helped.


My friend and I were talking and we got to deepest darkest secrets so she told me hers and its so wierd so later my friend yells out to me i know your deepest darkest secret what should i do stay mad or thank god he didnt say it (link)
Well, obviously, thank god he didn't say it if it's really bad or something. But, I wouldn't get mad unless they actually said it. They were probably just joking around pretending they were gonna say it and try and scare you.

The next time they ever do it, just mimick them and yell that you know theirs too. And to try and scare them even more [ for example, say their deepest darkest secret was.. they liked a girl named.. uh, Melanie. ] be like,"____ LIKES MEL..ONS." And just start laughing to show them your joking and let them know you'd never tell anybody their secret.. as long as they don't tell anybody yours!


I hope I helped.



P.S. Haha, I had to edit this answer so if you already read it, sorry. I re-read your question and realized you wrote "he" and I'm like "oops, my example kind of doesn't work then, haha."
