Being a teenager is the toughest thing any of you will go through..well except for a divorce or death of a loved one.
Adults just do not remember how hard this time of life is for you.
They forget how important all of these things that you ask questions about are.
Parent do not have all the answers either..they just muddle through life..just like you.
I am as old as dirt..and still have some of the things that happen to you..happen to me.

I go away to school and I have a little sister who I dont get a chance to see a lot. This past weekend, I came home but I didnt spend as much time with her as I should have. We got into a little fight and when I left, I didnt even say goodbye to her. Do you think she can forgive me? (link)
|
Call her..write her...e-mail her..send her one of those free yahoo(www.yahoo.com) e-cards and tell her you are sorry..yes she will forgive you if you make an effort to get on her good side.
Ps nothing is more important than family...an older sibling means the world to a younger one...
by the way..that you care so much..shows what a GREAT person..you are.

I have extremley bad cramps... only the problem is i dont know how to swallow a pill. The advice I want is NOT how to swallow a pill but if you know of any really good chewable types of medicine to realive the pain (I'm 15 years old if that helps). Thanks! (link)
| |
what about the powder aspirin? You can mix it in some juice and take it that way. Or try baby liquids. Heating pads and hot baths help too.

Well, I have a friend who visits an advice site (the name slips my mind) where most everyone posts idiotic relationship questions riddled with bad spelling, punctuation, and grammer, pretty much in that order. My question is this, how do I tell my friend that he is a moron? And how can I make him stop asking stupid questions? And how can I get him to stop using things like "u" for you, or "r" for are?
Thanks for the help. (link)
| |
it is his advice thing..why do you care if he looks like a moron..he i the one who looks stupid..maybe he just loves to do this...I know i do..and I always look like a stooge..relax...he will bet bored..ok...

ok christmas is coming up, and i wanna get all my christmas shopping done. ok, the thing is im broke. i borrowed 50 dollars from my sis, and i need to buy holiday gifts. what should i get for my parents, mom & dad, 2 sis's ages 10 & 12, and my best friend, she's 15 and i also have like 7 god guy friends, nothing too close, but their goodold buds. any idea what i could get them? thanks, ill give you a 5 for trying. thanks in advance!
p.s. i rate for effort! ;) (link)
|
how about lay-away...you have a month...you can do some odd jobs to ehlp pay for it.
Ps...your parents do not expect NAYTHING for Christmas..if you have to get something..go in on it with your siblings...be cheaper that way.

|
Ok I want to get a cellphone and I can get one for 20 dollers ( a flip phone ) but thats not the problem the service is. Like its expensive and crap. And we have to pay rent and bills so I dont know how we're or I am gunna be pay for the bill. Do you guys have any suggestions or any servies like cingular or something that has cheap plans. Thanks. (link)

well..i am sorry but we used to have 2 and had to de-activate them as they were costing us so much money we could not afford to chat.
get a pre-paid one..all the fees are in the pre-pay fee..

I collect coffee mugs. I have 804. I can't stop collecting them, every time I am out for dinner with my parents I cant' stop looking at coffee mugs. Mum accidently smashed one the other day and I just lost it, I was crying and screaming at her. I don't want to be like this, but I really love my mugs.
Am I obsessive compulsive? (link)
|
No..you just are a collector who loves her mugs...if you collect rare paintings and your mom ripped one everyone would be feeling bad for you.
804 is a lot..I might weed my hobby down to a certain type..but maybe you can build some shelves for the most of them and use the ones that will not bother you as much if they get broken.
|

hi
i went out with guy like 2 months ago who i really really liked but then he dumped me and i found out that he had been 2 timing me but he just said he didnt and even if he did it wasnt like we were married or anything but iw as really hurt. then we became rfiends and he said he wanted to be really good friends but whenever i see him he just ignores me but i still really like him and i think he sought of still likes me but is trying not to show it. I would love it someone gave me some advice as this is really very important to me!
love stef
x x x (link)
|
ok..i am sorry..but i believe in NOT 2 timing in any realtionship..call me old fashioned..but why be a b/f or g/f is you want to date others?
If he still liked you..he would ask you out...
To me it sounds like he gets all of it..gets to date whomever he wants..and your worship which he REALLY wants.
Dump him totally..move on..find a REAL guy who will worship you and date ONLY you...there are lots of them out there.
This guy is only going to give you more pain...FACT

Okay.. I'm in love with my best friend whom i've known since kindergarten..but my best friend is also in love with him and she doesnt know i love him too. and he's been giving me these signals..but i have no idea wut to do..i dont wanna tell my friend b/c she'll get all mad at me and stuff..but i dont wanna ruin my relationshop w/ the guy..wut should i do? (link)
|
If she has not gone out with him..then you should do what you think is best. But you may lose here. Is this guy so awesome he is worth losing your friend??
Sounds to me like you have been in love with him a long time...
A real friend would get over the fact that youa re dating him..but she may not.
This is tough...you have to decide which one is more important...to you....true love ..or a best friend...wow..

I've had this problem for years. My parents and my sister always accuse me of talking too much and see nothing wrong with interrupting me in the middle or end of my sentences to tell me to shut up and that I talk too much. I respond by telling them that I was already done talking and that they should'nt assume I'm going to say more, and that it is rude to interrupt someone even if you don't care about what they are saying. At least if it's someone you care about, you should find a nicer way to tell them. They don't listen, they just keep telling me to be quiet when I try to tell them how I feel. I sometimes end up in tears, and then they tell me I'm being grumpy or silly. I'm 35 years old and I'm tired of being treated this way. How can I get them to listen? It's especially embarrassing when they do this in front of others, like my daughter, husband, other family and friends. I'm I partially to blame? Please help! (link)
|
Your family is rude...you should not speak untik a person is done. As far as interrupting you..how about you interrupt them..and then tell the ..hey HOW does that feel.
Your family may never give respect...families are just not known for giving us what we want. Usually they make us feel WORSE about ourselves.
That is why you seek VALIDATION form your duaghter and hubby.
Trust me YOUR family..hubby and girl.think your relatives are gaint B**B's too..do not worry what they think..THEY love you.
Ps limit your exposure to them..to me they seem to harm you more than they help you.

I lost my cuzin and i tell my friends itz ok i hav to get over it i really don't get over cuz i rele miss her and i love her. Shuld i keep tellin my friends this?
Signed
Lost Cuzin (link)

you know what...when a LOVED one dies..you DO not have to get over it. i swear..but your freind is a giant b**b!!! Grief can take a lifetime to get over. Some people handle it different ways...but your friends have no clue..i am betting they have never lost someone they loved.
Now if your griedf is amking you feel like dying too..you need some help..but if you are still mourning her loss...that is normal..i just would not talk to anyone who is not sympathtic to what you are still going through.
Your cousin was lucky to have you in her life for as long as sh did. I can tell you cared about her a great deal..that kind of love is precious.

i have been feeling bad for a while.. i think i have the disease depression... im almost 16 years old and until recently i havent told anyone except my best friend... i want to tell my mom and go to the doctor to find out for real but im scared... im afraid she wont understand or not take me seriously or get mad... some of my symptoms are: alot of insecurities with myself, feeling empty, trapped, i always wanna stay home and sleep, i hate myself, im sick of my life, and i have alot of regrets.... im not so bad that im thinking of suicide though.. i would NEVER do that.... the thing is i think i have a pretty good life and im lucky for the things i have and that makes me feel really guilty about feeling bad..... i have a good house, im healthy, i have a family who loves me, my parents are together, and i have alot of stuff but i still feel depressed....... i no there are people who have it so much worse than me and all that makes me feel so much worse about how i have been feeling.... my questions are do u think i am really depressed like.. do u think i have the disease or do u think im just a moody teenager? and do u think i should tell my mother? please please time one million answer my questions!!!! i reallyyyyyyy need help! (link)
|
You know what..i am so very proud of you for realizing..that what you are feeling is not life but maybe a chemical inbalalnce. That is all depression is..your body is just producing the right chemcials to help you cope with life.
All teenagers have moods..it is hard as you ae learning about being an adult..and trying to figure that out....
if thee is a counselor that you could see or a clininc..it would be great..but to get meds to ehlp you..you have to see a person that can prescribe them.
Talk to your Mom..tell her you need some help..is she reacts wrong..get another adult to help you.
These feelings may or may not go away...but the first step was telling yourself that you need help.
Lots of people go through their life..and never admit that..you are a hero to me...

ok on monday I was dumped and I'm really unnhappy about it but now my ex keeps slagging me off to all my friends one of my friends told me what he'd said when I got to school he was being really nasty to me he kept calling me a ho slag slut and a bitch and said he regrets going out with me and that he never even liked me but when we were going out he text me saying I love you so did he have feelings for me but now he's being really nasty to me and now he's going out with his ex ex and I'm really stressed now what can I do please help me! (link)

What a loser..first of all he DUMPS you then talks trash about you. he is the trash. All you can do is hold your head up and NOT sink to his level...people will beleive whatever they want..and if you talk trash about him..then you will look bad.
What got him so mad..see to me..if he broke it off and is saying stuff..he is mad...and why is he mad???
|
|
Im always grounded n it makes me soo mad! Tehy ground me for stupid reason and i dont no what to do! Every time i try to talk to them they dont listen and notthing changed! What should i do? Go for some real help?? (link)
|
ok..what started this nazi grounding?/What is going on in your family.
every houshold has rules..like curfew, grades houshold chores..if you are not obeying those rules..you might get grounded..but..IF they are just gounding you unfairly..i would have a family meeting (when you are not mad)and ask..what are the rules for grounding. establish the guidlines..and have THEM sign and you sign them so if they start to change the rules you can whip out YOUR contract.
if they are grounding you unfairly you will need a third party mediator..like a counselor or maybe a granparent?
If you are obeying the rules that they have set..and they are changing them..that is NOT fair...and you deserve better!

I don have a book for a 1992 subaru justy and I need to know the best and fastest way to change the clutch and pressure plate so if anyone can help me i would thank you (link)
|
go to thier website and see if they have any specs on it..or write them a question on how to get a copy. Sometims you can download the book to your printer. if not go to your local subaru dealership and see if they can order you a owners manual..
or..go to a chatroom for car people and ask them...

I had a dream that my boyfriend's, mother's... boyfriend poisoned them and killed them. I woke up from that dream in my dream and went to see if it was true and it in my awaken dream, he really did die like that. I was crying and tossing. My parents heard me crying and tossing and turning. Then my dad woke me up and i was so relived it was a dream. The whole time though i was thinking, its just a dream call buck make sure he is still alive. When i woke up from both dreams called my boyfriend and he was alive. I have no idea, why i had such an awful dream like that. What do you think this is suppose to mean?????

You are worrid about something. Do his parents like you??is there any conflict with your b/f and his parents?
You may be picking up on some tension in the house..so it turns itself inot a really scary dream...
Do not worry...dreams are a way for our subconscious to work out things that we are picking up on..that we do not even know..usually emotional issues

I have been dating my current boyfriend for one year this coming month. We are constantly talking about marriage, but we are light in the pocket book. I don't make a ton, and he has about $12,000 in debt. Not to mention that his idiot sister talked him into buying a new car that he couldn't begin to afford so tack $25,000 on to that. I am trying to scrimp like crazy.
We have dated off and on for many years, and I want to be with him no matter about the money thing. He isn't used to saving money; he has been spending for a long time. He is trying very hard to stay on a budget. And I am very proud of him. I have squirreled away a small amount o cash but less than 6 months salary. I have no outstanding debts. What more can I do to save money and still continue to be healthy?

i know money is a HUGE issue after you get married. See usually it is a spender and a saver..getting together..so you going to have to get clear on what are acceptable purchases or not(and tell the sister to BUY him that car!!..she wanted it..she should buy it from him!!)
See marriage is hard enough meshing together w/o adding money problems...but if you are pooling your resources and saving together..and CLEAR on what you can and cannot buy..i do not see why you cannot get maried,
BUT..any problems you HAVE before the amrriage will only be harder after..so i would go see a counselor and make sure you are right on track about your future...
if you have too many expesnes..it is hard to save..that you have got almost 6 months in the bank..i am REALLY impressed...most people do NOT have that!!
good luck!!

How long would you be willing to date someone before you either left or proposed marriage to them? You being a 30 something female he being a late 30 something male. (link)
|
Me after almost a year i was like ok..i was 28 and he was 37..to me..if you do not know what is what by then...but we got married as I forced the issue.
However...i WOULD never force it again..i would have thought..this guy doe NOT want to be married. he still would be single..trust me...so WHO really won??
He is ans was REALLY stuck in his single way and it was so hard for the first 5 years.
If you love him so much that YOU cannot image life without him i would tell him it is time.
See at this age..you guys have been through enough dates to committ to each other.
Now if he has been married before..that is a WHOLE different issue.
So be prepared to walk away if you do not get the answer....
THIS is hard...i feel for you as I have been in this situation...

ok well my mom is a slut and always sleeps with guys she meets online. she never spends time with her kids and whenever we try to talk to her about it she gets all kissy kissy and does it all over again. she stays out until 7 pm to 3 am and comes home with dumb lame and unbelievable excuses. we really need help from someone because she is going to end up hurting herself as well as her kids. please help! (link)
|
Your mother needs some freaking help. Ok what kind of example is she setting for her kids.
Maybe she has a sexual addiction ..if so she needs to go see a counselor and find out why she sleeps around..
As far as staying alone at night..do you know that department of social services can TAKE all of you away??? She abandons you..to go meet men?/
i am so sorry..I am a mother and i do not even go out at night as I would NOT want to leave my kids for any reason....YOU come first...as a child..you all COME first
Any adult who does what she does needs SERIOUS help...screwomg around wiht people on the net is not only dangerous..but could kill her..hello AIDS anyone..
She needs help NOW!!!
