Well in P.E every Friday we have to run laps outside so one day me and my friend were jogging and this crazy lady was standing at this one end of the field and when we were going past her she said "hey" and we like glanced at her and started walking fast then she said "you guys are so pretty your doing great loo at you yeah go gO GO!!! so we started running then the next Friday we went out there she was there again so when we went buy her she said "hey i remember you guys my old buddies BFFs for ever whoooooooo!!! keep up the pace" and she was there the week after that and that and that so she is really starting to weird us out oh and she looked about 48 years 41 ? i don't know but what do you think we should do next time tell someone???
She sounds harmless. Maybe a little crazy - or drunk! - but otherwise she's not doing much to you, is she? If she starts to interfere with your running or wants to interact with you further, or if it is *really* bothering you, then by all means tell someone.. but in the meantime just humour her. You've got your own personal cheerleader, great!
I'm torn. I'm kind of a Renaissance woman. I'm not extremely good at one thing, but I'm pretty good at a lot of things. I LOVE fashion, orchestral music, math, and science. I'm so torn because my interests are so varied that I cannot find a particular area that satisfies the majority of my interests. I'm studying science in school, but I'm losing my interest for it. I'm beginning to want to be a fashion stylist because that is where my true passion lies. However, I could also see myself being a doctor because I love that, I just am really not liking science in school right now. I also want a profession that I can have responsibility and power. I love having power. I don't know what direction I should go in in life. What passion should I follow? Should I be realistic or follow my wildest dreams? I don't have much money to fall back on, so I have to make it.
You can get responsibility and power in any profession, so don't let that be a deciding factor for you right now.
If you are not really feeling the science classes right now then perhaps medicine is not for you.
You will be able to apply your math skills to fashion design anyway, as you need it for measuring and cutting your fabrics, plus you will need it for, say, budgeting when you start your own design emporium :)
I say follow your dreams, and your passion will lead you to success!
Over all my life is pretty good. Yet i will find myself crying over the littlest things like if i get 1 C or if i forget homework. Also i will like yell at my mom i don't mean to it just slips out and she will yell back and get all offended and slam her door and that also leads to crying. Oh and this is not a regular thing this week my mom got a flat screen from her boss and she wanted me to get it out of the back of the car so i tried and it was like stuck so like an idiot i kicked the box and then she just blew up on me saying "you selfish inconsiderate little bitch i will get it" oh and did i forget to mention my friend was there yeah not good. Well that's about it oh and one more thing i will not i repeat i will NOT go into council-ling so if there are any other suggestions oh and no pills for it i hate meds ick .Thanks;)
Sounds like hormones rather than depression. This would explain your mood swings and also your crying for no real reason. A lot of people go through it when they are teenagers, so try not to worry about it. Remember it's ok to make mistakes and be a klutz, don't get angry with yourself over these minor things. You could tell your mom that you sometimes struggling with your emotions & acting out so she at least knows you are aware of it and it is something you are working on, so she won't react like that in future. It's a phase and it will pass so hang in there!
Depression would be when you start to sleep excessively, lose lots of weight, are apathetic, don't want to see your friends, can't make decisions, contemplate suicide etc. I don't think this is what you are going through but if you are then I strongly advise you to talk to someone about it, either your mom or your school counsellor/nurse.
I need to find an external hard drive. One that can be protected by password. 500GB or more.
Any suggestions?
Western Digital http://www.wdc.com/en/products/external/portable/

so my fiance paul is in a band and he said i cant go to any of his shows cuz of this girl emily. apparently paul reminds emily of her ex and seeing him happy with another girl will male emily sad. but paul said emily is gay ans she is married to a women but i found her bra on his floor. what do i do? i love paul so much and i dont want to lose him but i dont know if he is cheating
Why does your fiance care more for this girl's feelings than for yours? If she is gay and married then seeing you two together should not be a problem for her at all. This sounds very suspicious to me! Call him out on it - ask him whose feelings are more important here, hers or yours. Tell him you would like to support him at his shows - obviously it's a big part of his life and you want him to share it with you.
So I was talking to this guy from my high school on Facebook and he said: Ahah.. Yu shud be by my bestfriendd
Me: Uhh...okay? Haha
Him: Ya know fbs
Him: :)
I have and idea of what"fbs" means, but I don't want to reply and be wrong, or ask what it means and feel stupid. Thank you in advance!
Have a look at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fbs
Depending on the context, I reckon it's either Facebook stalker, or (more likely) f*ck buddies...
I remember I watched this Christmas movie that had to do with a girl running away from her home/mother to find Santa Claus I believe? I don't remember much of the movie, but I do remember at the end she is at the mall and Santa Claus faints, but I believe she and the surrounding shoppers sing a song that wakes him up or brings him back to life.
I remember I saw it on the Disney channel I think (not animated)
I think it was made in either 1998 or 97, but for all I know it could have been filmed in the late 80s.
Does anyone know the name of this movie?
Thanks

How can I get a Victoria's Secret model body? I am 16 and want to be in better shape. I weigh 164 and I am 5'6. I don't really like to run but I love to dance and will try new things. I want to lose 40 pounds before the summer. Is that possible?
Deep down (or not so deep down) we all know what we need to do to lose weight: eat well, eat healthy, move more. I would say the main barriers between you and your dream body will be motivation when it gets tough, and dietary compliance. To help with that, make sure you are very clear in your own mind why you want that body, write it down, and stick it up somewhere you will see it every day, maybe on your bathroom mirror. Cut out some images of your ideal body and keep them in your purse so you can look at them and keep focused.
You don't necessarily have to run to lose weight and in fact this may not even be the best or most efficient way. If you enjoy dancing then do that! Keep your exercise interesting and varied so that it never becomes a chore. You should incorporate some weight training or toning exercise to help you retain your muscle while you lose the fat. It might help to get a training buddy so you can motivate each other.
As for 40 pounds by summer - ideally you would want to lose about 1-2 pounds a week. Any more than this will get you into trouble, be it with fatigue, eating problems, or undesired metabolism changes.
Good luck!
I have a new laptop operating on Windows 7 from Toshiba. My problem is the keyboard. There`s something about it that`s different than I have encountered before.
The best example that will explain this is that my number 2 key has the symbol for AT.COM that you`d see in an e-mail address. Instead of just the at sign I`ve got quotation marks and one other symbol. It`s like that on 90% of the number keys when you would hit shift.
What can I do to be sure I get it to make the right symbols when I hit shift. I can`t put a bloody at sign to sign into e-mails even. If you know what I need to do to get the right symbols that would be appreciated.
You probably need to change your keyboard settings to US. Go to Start > Control Panel > Region & Language > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > General > Add > English (United States) etc.
You can see keyboard layouts for different regions on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout
i was very unhealthy throughout october, and i didnt notice much weight gain. Now, for the last week or two, I've started to be much healthier, began to exercise and alter my diet. Suddenly, I see weight coming on. Why would this be if i didnt see any weight gain till now?
Lots of things could be happening. Most of your short term weight changes are due to water retention, so that's probably what is going on here.
Maybe you're drinking a lot more water because you're exercising a lot. This will obviously make a big difference to your weight if you are weighing yourself later in the day. If you are a girl, then your monthly water retention could account for a few pounds of difference in weight. If you are weight training now and you weren't before, your muscles may be holding onto glycogen that will affect your weight too. If you have suddenly cut your caloric intake by a lot, your body may think there is a famine and be holding on to water.
Also, while it's unlikely you would see a difference so quickly and while it's almost impossible in a caloric deficit, it may be that you have added lean mass (muscle) which could account for weight gain.
Keep up the training and the healthy eating and things should settle down within a couple of weeks.
okay so i see your point on how being a virgin means you cant do it up the butt. Consider this though, you can get an STD by just having him rub his dick against your vagina withough inserting it into the vagina or butt. So i consider being a virgin if you have sex in the vagina because if the reason for sex is to have kids and by your definition of sex (doing it in the butt or vagina) then technically you can get pregnant in the butt? no you cant so technically losing your virginity is having sex in the vagina not butt, because you cant get pregnant by doing it in the butt.
What is the question, I'm confused.
Are you saying you've had anal but not vaginal sex so therefore you are still a virgin? Fine - if that's the definition you want to apply, then go for it. It implies that all gay men are virgins of course! If you want to use the definition that the hymen must be broken, then technically it's possible for him to penetrate you & not break the hymen - congratulations, you are still a virgin. Oh - but some 9 year old horse riders are not!
The definition of virginity is open to interpretation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginity - so I guess you need to figure that out for yourself. If you want to tell people you are still a virgin, I am sure you will find a definition that fits your particular circumstances.
Or you can just sleep with the guy and remove all doubt :)
Is 5'7 tall for a girl?
It depends where you are from - take a look at the average height of females around the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height#Average_height_around_the_world
i.e. if you're from the Nethrelands you're about average, but if you're from Bolivia you're a giant! :) If you're from the US, you're taller than average, but I wouldn't say you are 'tall'.
Okay. I have noticed for a while that my left boob is bigger than my right. But today when I was looking I noticed that there was a significant difference, like it looked maybe 1/2 a cup to a cup size larger than the right. Is this normal?? Is there anyway I can either shrink it or stimulate the other to grow more??
18/f
It's fairly normal to have one boob bigger than the other, however if the size difference has changed recently you should probably go and have it checked out by your doctor.
The size difference becomes more noticeable the less fat you have, so you could put on weight.... otherwise you could do exercises to increase the muscle tissue under your right breast which will even things out a bit, e.g. right arm dumbbell chest presses.
Hello! I am a college student - female, freshman and am having some trouble organizing.
i got to organizational websites and they dont really help and theyre not that specific.
I clean my room and i feel like everything is organized but when it comes down to it, it's not. i have school papers that fold up in the bottom of my backpack, and pencils that go missing (but thats not a huge problem about the PENCILS) and ive got into a habit where i dont hang or fold my clothes ( i can't fold for shit) if i ever fold them all away, when i take a shirt from the bottom, it unfolds all clothes on top of it. is there a really good organizational website? does anyone have any SPECIFIC methods they have on how they organize their whole life?! i also miss dates and schedules and all that. i am going crazy with all this disorganization i can't pull myself out of. thanks
I use gmail calendar for all the things I want to remember - I have it set up to synch with my phone, so if I put it in my phone or my calendar online, it will all synch up and I don't have to think too much.
When last did you clear out your room/house? I find that having a big clearout helps me see what I actually HAVE, and I can then pile my clothes in order of what I wear most often. Freeing up the space in your room will help you to organise things better.
You could also pack things that you don't use all that often and put them away in a cupboard, and keep the things you use more often like your pencils in a desk-tidy on your desk.
Set aside time once a week to clean your room, put things away etc. It will be maybe a 1 hour investment once a week but it will save you any time you currently waste looking for things.
Don't go to bed with things on the floor/not put away. Take 5 minutes to tidy up before you go to sleep.
Have you got hanging space for your shirts? This may be a better option for you if you can't fold. It also means that grabbing 1 shirt won't mess up the rest. I have all my shirts, coats and skirts hanging up, and the rest of my clothes are folded as I reach for them less often.
Buy cheap folders and put your school papers into them. Use plastic sleeves etc.
Just tackle one area at a time and form new habits for yourself - it will be worth it in the end, I promise!
Is it possible for a person to lose 20- 25 pounds in less than 6 weeks if they eat healthy and work out a lot?
Possibly, but the person would either be close to starvation or working out far too much - both ways are extremely unhealthy and damaging. Optimistically the person would look to lose 2 pounds a week maximum, which would take 10-13 weeks. A more realistic estimate would be based on a 1 pound per week loss, meaning 20-25 weeks in total.
hi..i read a comment that you gave to someone about how you took a birth control to make your period go away..if you dont mind can you tell me exactly what u did and if you took the white pill or the brown pill..because i would love to try this..my boyfriend is coming home in a couple of days and i am very desperate lol..thanks you
I'm not sure who your question was directed to, however hopefully I can help. Your birth control pills are made up of hormone pills (white) and placebo/iron pills (brown). The brown ones don't really do anything except keep you in the habit of taking the pill.
To skip your period, don't take the brown pills. Instead, start on the next set of white pills immediately after finishing the current set.
If you would like to stop your period permanently, you can speak to your doctor about putting you on a no-period pill. On this pill you may get occasional spotting, but your monthly cycle will no longer occur.
So this year, our marching band has the opportunity to make state, and after being one place away from making finals at state 2 years ago, this year is very intense and important. As a freshman, I didn't realize why we work so hard until we started competing. There's this one senior in my section that is works so hard and is so dedicated to the band that I feel like I should do something for all that he's done to help me and our section. He does so much for the band, but doesn't get any credit for it because the directors hate him. He's a really good person and helped me with some personal problems. I feel like I owe it to him to do well and also give him something at the end of marching season (or maybe when he graduates) just as thank you. There's this one saying he pretty much lives by which is "Never Forget". What sort of gift could I give him that could include that?
What about something to do with elephants? Because elephants "never forget". Maybe just a mug or a t-shirt or something? (I am assuming this is not meant to be a romantic gift)
So it's my senior year and I'm on the cross country team at my high school. I've made so many wonderful friendships and the season is almost over. I am so depressed that I have to say goodbye to my really good friends. We'll call them Brad, Andy, Mitch, Carla, and Ella. I talked to Andy about having a little XC reunion and he loved the idea but I haven't talked to anybody else about it yet. Sometimes the guys feel a little awkward around me since I'm a senior girl and they're freshman guys... so they might feel weird even with some girl friends coming to my house for pizza and movies or something. But he seemed to love the idea. I guess what I'm asking is does that sound like a good idea? How do I keep in touch all year with them? And do you think they'll remember me? We've all gotten pretty close I'd say.
Thank you very much.
You're making this into an issue and it doesn't need to be at all. Organise your pizza & movie evenings, or going out or whatever, and invite everyone you would like to be there. When it's a big group of people, it doesn't matter about freshman/senior or boy/girl etc, it's just a big group of friends hanging out. You're close already - no-one is going to forget you unless you stop seeing each other regularly. What you could do is make the first gettogther an "end of season" party, which ties it back to your XC connection, and then that can segue nicely into seeing each other socially as a group. And hopefully others will start to organise things too, as would happen with any group of friends.
I'm 5'5" and 145 pounds. I want to lose 20 pounds
I know you have to exercise, eat healthy and drink water. How long does it take a person to lose 20 pounds exercising and stuff?
To lose weight at a realistic, healthy pace, you're looking at a 1-2 pound loss per week. 1lb a week is equivalent to a 500 calorie deficit per day, where
Caloric deficit = Base Metabolic Rate + calories burned from exercise - calories consumed
You can calculate your BMR here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/
Losing 20lbs safely will take about 10-20 weeks.

I am so confused on what to think or what to do. I recently got out of a 13 month relationship. Him and I have had a lot of fights in the past and this time it was bad. he broke up with me, then regretted it and wanted to take me back, but i said no because i was just fed up with all of the drama and fights. Then a few weeks later I meet this other guy named Kent. well kent and I had a great time together. we both go to the same college so we usually just hung out in each other dorms and watched movies. Then we started liking each other more than friends and decided to have a thing. we wanted to make it official but i didn't want people to think i was moving on so fast or i was just using him as a rebound (which is not true at all). so we kept it a thing for about a week and everything was going great. until he started having doubts and now he's telling me he wants to just stay friends for a while. when I asked him why, this is what he said- I have a lot of issues going on right now (depression, his friend died 2 years ago, and some other stuff he hasn't told me) and I really dont want you to see my bad side. I need to get things straight with myself first and clear my issues before we start anything because I dont want you to see my bad side. And we had a huge talk about this and I told him that all relationships have to deal with bad sides. you can't prevent that. and no matter what I say to him right now, he won't listen to me. I told him I will always be there for him. For some reason he has this idea that when I find out his issues that I will hate him.. I told him thats not true because I dont hate people, especially people like him. He's just stuck with this idea that he's not good for me and that i'll eventually hate him and leave him..
I'm just so confused on what to do.. I really really really like him.. but I dont understand why he's pushing me away and telling me that i'm going to hate him and he has issues. What should I do? I've tried talking to him multiple times but he just tells me he has to go and doesn't want to talk about it and needs space. So i've tried giving him space but i'm going crazy. What is your advice on this?
By the sounds of things he is, for whatever reason, not ready to start something with you right now. It may be that he has all this stuff going on and he thinks you will hate him if you find out his issues.... OR, he has some other misgiving about dating you but he doesn't know how to tell you so has made up this other story to spare your feelings.
If he has already decided that he doesn't want to date you then harassing him about it is not going to change his mind. However if he does really just want his space, give it to him - but let him know you are always there if and when he wants to talk i.e. be there for him as a friend and don't push him on anything more than that. He will probably come to you when he is ready. It's tough but you just have to wait it out.
If, in a few months' time, he still hasn't come around, you should make it clear that you are still interested, but you will not wait forever.
