Q: Im on my name AlYsSa13192 and i payed for it yesterday and it wont let me decorate my page. Why wont it let me?

I'm not sure, but you can always ask advicenator_admin or MFS or FernGully. Their level 3's and probably will answer your question!

Q: what does being made mean

Uh, made like the mtv show? lol Being MADE on mtv is being made into whatever you want: cheerleader, football player, wrestler...I hope thats what you mean haha

Q: people think itz wrong for a 9th grader and an 8th grader to be together,tell me how is that?

Some people think its wrong because your dating someone that is a lower class than you. Kinda like a rich girl getting married to a poor guy. But see those people are just stupid and we dont pay attention to them. So do what you want, dont let anyone stop you.

Q: okay, ive been going to the gym like everyday, or every other day for the past 2 weeks or so. and ill work out really hard, like ill run for 25 mins on the tred mill and ill do like 175 crunches, and ill build up alot of sweat.. ill work out really good, but then the next day im never sore at all. shouldnt i get atleast alittle sore after all that work out?
thanks.

Just because your not sore, doesn't mean your not doing good at your workouts. Your doing great, and whats good is..your body can handle the pressure. So dont worry..keep on working out! And if your ever sore, I would skip a day at the gym and just stretch it out...

Q: Can you go to your regular doctor to get on a birth control pill or do you have to go to a gyno.?

You can go to either. But I think a gyno would know for sure what he/she was talking about. And would probably give you a really good brand of birth control. :)

Q: well i am moving to Colorado next year before school starts and like i am really outgoing and stuff and i play volleyball, and that starts before school so i can meet people by doing that to, but i am like really scared of the change and i dont know waht to do to make the move easier????

Please help me out

Well, I dont know much about moving...I havent experienced it but a good friend of mine has...and you can ask him questions at his column : zach_attack. One thing I can tell you...keep in touch with your friends! Because even though it wont be the same, at least they can talk to you! Oh and change is sometimes good...you have to go through change..and this move will help you grow!!

Q: my mom always makes me go to bed so early!! shes like okay 9:00 is your bedtime ..but im 13!! She makes me do this during the week and im never tired till like 1 am! And i have a laptop that im sneaking on with right now but she ALWAYS catches me..what do i do?>

Well, I know people that are your age that have 9 o clock bedtimes. Look, the ONLY way you can get her to let you stay up later..is to obey what she says. Your bedtime is 9, sleep at 9...do this for a while and she'll trust you. She'll think your responsible enough to have a later bedtime. I know it sorta sucks, but it'll all be worth it when your bedtime is 10 or maybe even 11.

Q: Im just wondering how i can see what people rated my ideas after i gave them advice...if sum 1 could just show me how that works, cuz ppl are saying that they rate good so im wondering also why that is important

Well everyone told you where you see your ratings..and you want to know why thats important. Well, an average rating is all your rating averaged up...if you get good ratings your average is higher, and it might get people to look at your column and ask you a question. So if someone rates a person a 5, that will help the person in the long run...you dont have to rate people, but its a nice thing to do!! If your still confused and still have questions, you can ask me! I'm here 24-7 :)

is he shy , scared of me or wat?

He doesn't love you, he doesn't even like you. Or he might not be ready for a relationship. How old is he? 12 too? or 13? He might not understand what its like to have a girlfriend yet. I think you should break up, and just be friends. Maybe later on, when your both older and mature..you'll go out. but right now your too young to understand girlfriend/boyfriend stuff. Maybe your ready for a relationship but your boyfriend is not.

Q: okay my best guy friend and my best girl friend are going out...i really wish them luck..but i cant help but feel jealous...i keep telling myself that i dont like the guy.but every time i see him i melt..the girl invites me to the movies with them but i dont think i could take it..watching them hold hands..is there anything i can do about it..or should i just sit back and watch them go out to the movies and crap right in front of me...i promise ill rate high and i really need help...(13 female)

Dont go out with them. You'll feel left out and like the third wheel. just explain to her that you dont want to go because you'll feel left out because their going to focus on eachother and not you..she should understand

Q: My fourteen year old daughter has been going out with this nineteen year old boy since the beginning of January, first of all she lied to me saying that he was sixteen. I am quite worried about this. Can somebody help me and tell me what I should be doing. She is my only daughter, in fact my only child. I am worried. Help.

What would a 19 year old want with a 14 year old? Sex. I'm almost positive you dont want your daughter to have sex, so just forbid her to go out with him. If she has ways of sneaking out, and going against what your saying..you can get a restraining order or tell the police about it. He is 19 and dating a 14 year old, which is illegal. So get the cops involved if you have to. Your daughter might not like you for a while if you do this, but in the long run...she'll realize you just care for her and dont want her to get pregnant!

Q: what re-fur? maybe its reifer ... i dont know but my best friend just told me he does that. I had no idea so i was like just like o.. can we talk about this later so i want to know what it is please

it means he does drugs! Its a stupid slang term but yah..

Q: ok well me and my boyfriend are 13..and i heard from like a bunch of people that hes getting me a necklace and flowers but i have no clue what to get him..like i was at the mall yesterday and i went into like every store and i couldn't find anything..i dont want to get him something to expensive cause i really dont have that much money..but like can anyone give me any ideas and like the price they might be? thanks

$20, $25, or $30 gift certificates to a store. Music, clothing, video game store..etc. By getting him a certificate, he'll be able to get what he wants. So that way, you wont have to worry about if he'll like your present or not!

Q: im tryin 2 put on a few pounds. wat r sum ways to gain some healthy weight without having to eat an excessive amount of food. my goal is to get in 3200 cals a day(i no, thats a lot!) PLZ HELP me find some ways i can get these calories in! its hard to eat that much but i REALLY wanna be a few lbs heavier thanx!

IF YA WANT ILL RATE U A 5!!

wow! Gain weight? Lucky...well..You could search under google for "Gain weight healthy". Here are some sites I found from google: http://diet.ivillage.com/measure/mweight/0,,1d6,00.html?arrivalSA=1&cobrandRef=0&arrival_freqCap=1&pba=adid=13497159 // http://nutrition.about.com/od/dietsformedicaldisorders/f/GainWeight.htm

Just eat whole grain foods basically, bread pasta rice potatoes nuts and seeds.

Q: I have an extremely sore throat. It wouldn't be a big deal but I have singing try-outs for the school play on Tuesday. Does anyone know how to heal a sore throat fast? Thanks.

Yeah get sore throat medicine and Try not to talk/sing for a while. Let your voice rest. And if you have to practice just practice the words in your head.

Q: Well as yall know valentines day is coming up.. I have no clue as to what to get my boyfriend. Hes really into his truck, but all that stuff is really expensive. Please give me some ideas!
Emily

Gift certificates to his favorite music/clothing/video game store. Because that way, instead of getting him a gift...that he might not like. get him a certificate and he can get whatever he wants!!

Q: I have a boyfriend and we've been going out for 2 months and 1 week. I really like him and all..but sometime he bugs me so much!! I kind of miss being single and I dont know what to do..
and i dont want to break up with him...ugh..i'm sucha mess...please tell me your answer

Well, if your not happy in the relationship I think you should break up with him. You'll be single but you'll be open to having a relationship with someone you really like! So in the end, it'll be worth it! =)

Q: i have a guy friend that i am really close to we cant go out 1) bc of distance 2) bc he has a gf right now. anyways his gf is always a bitch to me. i think it is bc she jealous bc i am so close to him and that he cares about another girl(me) and she says shit that he will never do me and that i shouldnt be wastin my time and callin me a skank and trash.... and she says all of this to my best friend well she says shit when she doesnt even noe who the fuck i am and idk what do bc he is a great person and i dont wnat to lose him over s stupid bitch like her?

Well if this is an internet thing...or just a distance thing..just dont talk to her..at all..or at least try to ignore her. She is just jealous of the fact that he has a good friendship with you...this is eating her heart out..and well, hey...she deserves it right? So just ignore her, and keep being his friend. The only time you would lose him as a friend..would be when he is FORCED to by his girlfriend. And if he does listen to her, and never talks to you again..hes not worth it! But I think/hope he wont be like that. Sorry if I didnt help much..

Q: my n my boyfriend have been going out for 5 months... im 13/f and well valentines day is coming up.. and i have no idea what to get him... hes sorta a prep, he plays football, and umm idk hes just like a normal 13 year old guy.. please help!!

Gift certificates to his favorite clothing/music/video game store. A nice looking football...gift certificates would work best because he would be able to buy whatever he wanted!

Q: OK i got this realllly cute real Guchi purse for my birthday. Its really cute! and I just figured out that the most popular girl in school has the same purse! Im really mad cause i really want to use it but i can't because if she see's it shes gonna hate me! and well she kinda likes me right now and lets me hang out with her and shes really nice and stuff. BUt we cant have any of the same stuff as them. Even clothes. It really stinks cause i love all her clothes and i have the oppurtunitiys to but them! I really like there group! should i even hang out with them?

Dont hang out with snotty girls like that. Wear the purse, and wear the clothes..if she has a problem with it...tell her to get over it! You can wear your purse and you can wear whatever clothes you want. Dont just not wear them because you want to be friends.
