I am so glad to be here! I'm open to any questions that anyone wants to ask, but I will say that my specialties lie in the artistic and musical areas. My answers will always be carefully researched and thought out. Thanks for asking me a question- I'll get back to you very soon!

ok..so summers coming and i would like to volunteer i dnt know just to do anything maybe clean the park...or take care of elderly or work for a summer job? camp? that dont cost much? where can i get this information and what can i do to go to camps or volunteer thanks! (link)
| |
One summer I volunteered at a local hospital. That was fun. You can also go to an animal shelter or a charity organization. You could be a councilor at a summer day camp. If that doesn't suit you, you can go to someone's house that you think may need help and ask what needs to be done. You could also just work on something for the city- like a planter or a cleanup project. Good Luck!

so my friend wants me to get help. i guess i may just need help. i just stopped cutting about a few weeks ago, because my mother found out. I have family issues, like my father. i used to hate the world. sometimes i feel all depressed because of my family.. i dont know, advice? (link)
|
All I can say is this: you are worth it. I don't know what problems there are in your family, but I know that there is someone who would give their life for you. You are loved, and you are worth being loved. What will help you to feel better is to strengthen your faith. Faith in your friends, in a higher being... whatever works. You are a special person, and there are things that you can do that no one else can. You are worth it.
I hope you can feel better soon.

13/f
and i babysit but i only do it on occasion.
i NEED some extra cash & fast. well I'm going to Florida in June and i really want a 200 dollars to spend there. PLUS i need money for clothes now- let's just say i'm not the richest person in the world and getting 50 dollars every other month isn't working. Any ideas? Maybe on how to get my "babysitting expirence" out there? I love kids. Uhm. I hate cleaning though but i'll do it if i have to. I'm smart? i guess tutoring might be an option but i'm really not sure. I just need some cash fast. I don't have any clothes for the summer/spring and well that explains it. thanks so much in advanced!!

I know that it sounds juvinile, but you can make some flyers to post around town for anyone who wants your services. Highlight your specialties and make it sound exciting. Include a phone number. Hopefully someone will be interested. You can offer help to people around the block and/or at church. Have a reasonable pay in mind, or you might get cheated. Tell them that they can chose the price, but you don't take anything under, say, $4.00 an hour. (You usually get more money if you have something constructive for the kids to do, like crafts, and then you leave the house cleaner than it was when you came.)
You can also offer help mowing lawns, getting groceries and cleaning up garages. You can make good money pretty fast. Good luck with your moneymaking!

I am planning on applying to princeton, does any body have any tips on the princeton admission process or just and tips in general. (link)
|
I don't have any tips, but I do have some resources you could go to.
Princeton Homepage:
http://www.princeton.edu/main/
Fiske Guide to Colleges (This really goes in-depth about campuses, activities, what the students are like, financial aid, and other stuff)
Peterson's Get a Jump! (this really has nothing to do with Princeton, but it's goood for anyone getting ready for college.)
Good luck with getting there! Check your local and school library- they will probably have better resources than what I could give you.

i feel like my one friend thinks that she can treat me however she wants and i will always be there for her to come back to. why does she do this, how do i change it and what should i do? (link)
|
I had this problem with one of my friends. It got so bad that just had to say, Back off, I need my space, and this is how you are making me feel. I care about you, but if this continues, I won't be around to stomp on anymore.
I know that it sounds really mean, but you need to get your feelings out there. You could do it in a more subtle way. You could first start out by hinting that you don't like your friend's behavior (if you haven't already) and leave it at that. If it doesn't work, make your warnings stronger every time. And if you do have to leave your friend, that doesn't mean it's final. Just give him/her some time to come to his/her senses.
You also should look at yourself and make sure that you are not being overly sensitive, that the real problem does not lie with you.
Sometimes you want to change a person, but it will not occur unless they decide to change themself.
Good luck!

I lied to my doctor when he asked me if i was sexually active i told him i wasn't. He did a UTI test, and it came back positive, but he said there was blood in my urine. He repeatedly asked me if i was a virgin, and i kept saying yes. (im not) Does that mean i could have an STD ? or is something serious going on? And is it impossible to get an enternal STD even if you use a condom everytime? (link)
| |
The doctor needs to know the truth. I know that you don't want anyone finding out that you have been sexually active, but the doctor is the only one who can help you. If you ask him to keep it confidential, maybe he can tell you what is wrong. Besides, if it was an STD, would you rather go without a cure until you were 18 or tell your parents and get help right away? Yes, it is possible to get an STD with a condom, even though a condom is much safer. You should tell your doctor.

Okay, well I'm 13/f
I just got my period in November so I have only had it 3 times...
I want to use a tampon so bad because it's so much less hastle...
but it hurt...
so I talked to my mom and she said that there is this thing called a "cherry" and that to use a tampon you'd have to break it or else it would hurt too bad. And that some girls break it with a tampon or with sex.. and I know the second one is WAY out of the question... but I'm kinda scared
so if any girl knows what it feels like to break it with a tampon please tell me if it's worth it to wait..
THX (link)
|
It's actually called the hymen, and it is a membrane that goes across the passage. It is common for a girl to be a little scared about this. But really, it wouldn't hurt for most girls, it would just be uncomfortable. The hymen may break during sexual intercourse, or when a tampon is inserted inside, or even if a girl is involved in a lot of physical activity.
You don't need to be worried that it will hurt really bad, just try it while you are on your next period (do it with a small size tampon) and see how you feel. The membrane could possibly be broken already. Hope I helped!

You could have everyone show up in something quirky/funny, like dressed up as their favorite superhero. Or, if you just want a normal party, you could have everyone bring a cd with some of their favorite music for everyone to listen to. It's always fun to put streamers draping from all the doors to help people to feel the mood. You could have your favorite TV show on the whole time, or have some friends pick out several movies. That's not so everyone will sit down and watch it, but aso they will always have something to do. Good luck and have fun at your party!

Okay, I have some of the thinest hair ever. When I don't blow dry or strigthen it is gets kind of curly but not much. But that isn't the point, my question is, is there any way to make my hair into ringlets? Don't say use a curling iron because even with some of the best it still ends up terrible. Is there any alternative ways? Or is my hair hopeless? (link)
| |
There is this stuff that works really well... it's called C, but it also says c-system c-curl curl enhancing system on the front. It works with whatever curl is in your hair and magnifies it. When you use it with a diffuser, it will work really well and look natural. Good luck!

im 14. i have a dry t-zone, but it gets oily when i use moisturizer. i use cetaphil moisturizer and it doesnt seem to actually like...absorb into my skin. so i usually wind up putting my makeup on when my moisturizer isnt even completely dry. i know this causes my makeup to be splotchy. (i use bare minerals ) i was wonderin if there were any good moisturizers that sound good for me?
also, if u know some good makeups, that would be appreciated as well.
thanks! (link)
|
The cetaphil moisturizer is good before bed and after you wash your face, but before makeup, I like to use Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion. A little goes a long way, and a bottle has lasted me over a year, even with someone in the house borrowing some. There are also plenty of great moisturizers at Walgreens and Walmart. Just experiment and see what's right for you. (P.S., the cetaphil moisturizer is GREAT for dry skin on the rest of your body. It makes the skin so soft!) Hope I helped!
(P.S., I use the lotion, I have never used the gel, so I don't know what's best. But I really love the lotion! Good Luck!)

ok this is like totally weird but i lost my ipod IN MY OWN HOUSE!!! i tried retracing my steps but i can't find it. and i know i had it like 2 hours ago and i never left the house. i have no idea where i put it. does anyone have any ideas how to find it. this is really akward but i always loose my things
HEEELPPP!!!! (link)
| |
It always helps to just sit down for a minute and think about it. Where you had it last (for sure) and possibilities of where you could have put it. Then, when you look, be careful and look underneath things and inside of things. I hope you find it soon!

i am 5 feet exactly, and i weigh 108 lbs. I know thats not like over weight, but i just want to flatten my stomach because in like... June, we go to a water park as a school fieldtrip, and we have to wear our bathingsuits. i want to look good.
how can i lose about 10-15 lbs before June? any help is appreciated=]
also... i know this is really random, but is there anything i can do to uhm...make my breasts bigger? like any excercises or foods i can eat?
thxx. (link)

Don't aim to lose a certain amount... just aim to strengthen your muscles. Try doing crunches, up the center and also side to side. Try sets of ten or twelve, and maybe try three sets first and see what works for you. When you are just standing or sitting, tuck your tummy in a little... this will make your posture better and also help to strengthen your abdominal muscles.
As far as the other part to your question, exercise your pectoral muscles (the ones on your chest) by doing things like pushups with your hands close enough together that the space looks like a daimond. I know it will be hard, but it's worth it. Athletic girls are generally small, so it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Hope I helped!

i want to do palaties or yoga i'm not sure which one is best for me though. i'm a soccer player 15/f and i wanna becaome more flexible and i'm hoping one of them will help me shed a few pounds in my stomach and thigh area. which one woul dyou suggest..and i'll probably just go to best buy and buy a dvd workout thingy (link)
|
I think that pilates would be best for what you are trying to do.. It strengthens AND increases endurance and flexibility! Good luck!

when i get home from school at 230, all i can think about is eating. i regularly eat a bagel and drink a glass of orange juice for breakfast, and i have a balanced lunch. i know im not hungry when i get home, but i make myself feel like if i eat something its not a big deal. but when i do, i just wanna cry cuz i feel so bad about it. there have been a few days where im been able to not eat until dinner, and when i do i'm so proud. what could i do to make me get my mind off eating?! :[ (link)
| |
Youu don't need to worry about this bigtime. It's actually better for you to eat a few snacks during the day, as long as they are healthy. If you think that you are eating because you are bored, try taking a walk or chewing some gum instead of eating. Then you will be distracted. But if you are hungry, it's okay to eat something, like fruit or toast, to tie you over until dinner. Good luck!

I'm a teenage girl (raised catholic) who has been atheist/agnostic/unsure since the summer. I have encountered several recent events in my life that have lead me to believe that there really is a God after all. All of my friends are really strong christians- but I just don't think that God is real.
I don't know if Christianity is right- or even real... but I'm feeling compelled to recommit my life to Christ. What does that mean anyway? How can you "commit your life" to someone who isn't even real? Who IS Jesus? I mean this whole thing makes no sense. How can there be a God when there are so many other religions like islam and such? My prayers never came true as a Christian.
Oh, by the way- I hate going to church and i don't see the point in doing it. It never even brought me closer to this so-called God. To be a true Christian (not a poser) do you HAVE to attend mass? What if I just want to have my OWN faith? I also don't believe in Bible verses and stuff- like I don't think that the people in it were real. Why can't we just have faith in GOD and not all the crap that goes along with it? (link)
|
These events in your life are telling you that Heavenly Father is there... I know that you don't exactly believe or know that He is real right now, but I have a few things to tell you. I know God is real. He is a protector and He loves both you and me. And in answer to all of your questions, you just have to have faith that He is there and very aware of you. He knows all the pain you are going through.
Jesus is the son of God. He was born of a virgin, named Mary, in Bethlehem. That's why we celebrate Christmas. He healed the sick and raised the dead. And then He suffered for everyone's sins, even yours and mine, to make it possible for us to repent of them. Then, he died on a cross in a city called Calvary. But then, after three days, He was resurrected and lived again, which is why we celebrate easter. Jesus knows what you are going through because he suffered for your sadness and the bad things in your life.
In your prayers, I want you to just have faith that He is there and that you will recieve an answer.This means that you belive that it will happen. Even if you don't think it CAN happen, Believe. Have as much faith as you can muster, as if you already did know. Answers to prayers don't always come right away or in the way that you expect, but they will come. But you have to listen to Heavenly Father because sometimes you can't hear the answer. It will come as a whisper to your heart.
You can ask God anything and He will give you an answer. Anything. So take all these questions that you asked me and direct them towards Him. But even though Heavenly Father is willing to do anything for us, we have to do something to recieve His love. Have faith in everything. Study the scriptures. With the knowledge will come the testimony that you are looking for.
I hope that you can achieve your goal and far beyond.

ok so im supposed to instruct a class in doing something, for 3 minutes.. like how to work out the right way, make a balloon animal, make a brade, ti your own tie, or something you know.. but i have no clue what to do, i dont want it to be too childish, but not too boring either.. something that is easy and quick to teach, but most people might not know.. do you have any ideas? (link)
|
We did something like this in school... Here's what some other people did.
How to find a pot of gold
How to be a gangsta
How to make a caricature
How to make muffins
How to perform first aid on a cat
But you don't need to take any of these suggestions. Just think of something that you really like to do, and then your "class" will be extra good because you are interested in it. It can be funny and not very helpful, or it can be good advice. Good luck!
|
to put it simple:
i do almost every thing with my right hand, except i type with them both. i write, catch things, throw things, etc.
if i practice all those things regularly on my left hand will i beable to write good and easier with my left, and cath and throw things as i do with my right? (link)
| |
Yes, it could happen, but it would take a ton of practice. How long have you been using your right hand instead of your left? I thought so. To make it happen faster, you could go cold turkey with your right hand, but it would take longer to do things. Good luck!

Ok...I'm 15/F and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to tell my mom that I want to go on birth control just in case something happens between me and my boyfriend. Or should I go on it when I am positive that something is going to happen? And do you think it's ok for a 15 year old girl to lose her virginity or do you think I am too young? Thank you. (link)
| |
I think that you are too young to lose your virginity at this point. So many things can happen that a person just isn't ready to handle at the age of 15! Anyway, birth control will not solve all of your problems. Think about STDs that can be contracted... I'm not saying that your boyfriend, or you have an STD, but there are a lot of risks. Being on birth control and having sex is pretty much like having unprotected sex, only you probably won't have a baby. I'm just telling you to be very careful and think about it a lot.

I grew up in an Episcopal Church and my husband of almost 2 years grew up in Church of Christ. We are both Christians, but why does there have to be many forms of baptism? I was poured upon as a small child and my husband was emerged when he was a young teenager. He accepts my beliefs but does not accept the way I was baptized. This is a big issue for me. Why would I want to be married to a man that does not accept fully me? Why would I want my children to grow up(when or if we have any) questioning me, "mommy why weren't you baptized?" Does this make sense to anyone? Has anyone went through this to know what I am talking about? If so, please give me advice or a way to show my husband that either way can be right.
Thanks! (link)

I was raised in the Mormon church. We believe that a person should be baptized by immersion by a person that has the proper authority to do so, someone who has the priesthood of God. If you are curious about this, you can go to lds.org or ask some missionaries. They can help you more than I can.

is it possible to get pregnant if u get raped? (link)
| |
If a woman is raped, her chances of getting pregnant are low, because she might have been raped at a bad time to become pregnant, like right before her period starts or something like that. But I would suggest getting tested.
