Hi everyone!

So this year, i graduated and all my friends are going different places, so i made this memory box for my best friend. It has a shirt in it with our picture on the front, and all our memories on the back. It has a photoalbum full of pictures of us, some rocks from an adventure we went on, a friendship bracelet, and a stuffed animal that we used as our campaign for class president. And theres the menu to our favorite resturant. But i feel like its missing somthing. Any ideas? Its a shoe box, and theres already a picture of us glud to the front. And ideas would be amazing, thank so much!

Do you have inventations or school programs from graduation. I am not sure if your school had an 8th grade prom or not, but if so, I would include that too.

What about a cd of songs you all listen to or like or music you all talk about or even a friendship cd where you pick songs dealing with friendship, memories, and things like that?

okay, i have a pink motorola razor (the new one) and one day it just stopped recieving picture messages and it wont get on the internet. i need the internet so i can download ringtones and i whenever i try to send picture messages it says; message unable to send. try again ? and when i try to recive it it says, message unable to to download. try again? does anyone know to do? ive already tried resetting it but it still hasnt done anything. i also know for a fact that i am paying for picture messaging

call AT&T because for some reason your internet option zones have been changed, nothing that you are controlling yourself since you haven't changed your internet options on the phone.

Make sure you have insurance on the phone in case it's something internally wrong with the phone. I have a red one, and it has done all kinds of stupid things not to mention that the carrier has access to removing, blocking or disabling internet privileges.

I'm on Prozac, which is medication for my depression. I have a friend who is into taking prescription pills to sort of get "high". Well, he wants to try my prozac...and im most likely not going to let him. But, I was just wondering what would happen to someone who DIDNT NEED depression medication, and they overdosed or something. Would it make them really happy, or give them a "high", or what? thanks!

Thanks so much for being concerned enough to ask this question.

Meds, react differently with each person. Meds are prescribed by physicians who have examined and checked out their patients in order to deem which meds is a necessity for each person.

What would or could happen to a person is taking pills just to take them could cause an allergic reaction "which vary in action" listen to those medication commercials, they normally call out all side effects when they are talking really fast -you know the ones. "smile", but seriously it could lead to coma, addiction or even a more serious effect, death. In some cases, it could cause happiness or give a high as you state, but there is honestly no guarantee at all. Suggestion:

Why not tell your friend to go to an herbal store, and request some type of herb or vitamin to assist him in feeling whatever it is he wants to feel. Trust me they have it there and it's all natural without the risks.

Great job in refusing to provide your meds to your friend. I am proud of you and you are really a good friend!

there is this boy that i have liked for 3 years and i was to young for him and i didnt want to get him in trouble but we flirted a lot. he started dating a girl and she would get mad when he would talk to me. so we kinda just keep distant recently we started hanging out all the time and talking again. we still flirt all the time. i am moving to missouri on tuesday and he lives in ohio.. i dont want to leave him everything is like perfect between he and i. i cried on the phone last night when he made me promise not to lose contact with him. tonight might be the last time i see him for a long time. if not monday. i mean i am moving back here in about 10 months. but i dont want to lose him again

I am not sure of what the question is, as there was no question asked.

I do know and understand what you are going through with moving and all when you have feelings for someone. Long distance relationships normally don't work out as planned,because of the distance. I think that you two may remain as friends, with occassional visits, but I also think that you two will see other people and eventually move on with your lives unless he moves where you are or you move where he is.

3 years is a long time to like someone, however if age was really a factor for you guys then you most likely didn't get the opportunity of having a true relationship openly with each other. With that being said, you are only expressing feelings of like, not love right? Regardless, of the hurt you feel or may feel upon moving, time does heal all. You said that you are moving back in 10 months. Try talking to him so that you establish a connection and plan of what you are going to be doing in the next 10 months. Are you going to remain as friends who like eachother? Are you going to try the long distance relationship thing to prepare for your return? Are you going to see other people and be honest about it with each other? There is much to find out so that you prepare yourself in dealing with it emotionally and mentally.

You need direction to where this is going. Try focusing on that instead of focusing on moving and losing contact, still remain real with yourself by not setting false pretenses.

ok. so my boobs are a B and a DD. they have been this way since i was in High school. Now i know this isnt normal. if i lose weight would that help make my one boob or down. or is there anything i can do. or is breast ogmination the only sorce to make them close to the same size?

My breast are a size DD. I hate them, but they are proportioned with my body and they aren't the same size either, but there's not that big of a difference or variation between them that you would notice it, I can't even notice it. It is medically proven that breast aren't the same size,niether are feet, but it's not recognizable, with the sizes you have mentioned, something isn't right. It does need to be examined by a physician so that they can access the issues and ensure no potential risk. Good luck and please be sure to seek medical advice on this, because breast have veins, muscle and tissue in them. It is imperative to make sure everything is the way it should be.

What do I do???
A few years back I had the same situation happen with another one of my friends..See the thing is though I didn't like him more than a friend...Ever since he told me he loved me that friendship has never been the same...Well now its happening again...Another friend of mine just told me he liked me more than a friend...Thing is I don't like him more than a friend plus I have a boyfriend...I don't want to mess up the friendship but What can I do???
Please Help!

Yes, tell him that you don't see as anything more than a friend because you are involved in a relationship that he is aware of. Let him know that you appreciate his honesty, and his courage of being real with you. Now, let him know that you don't appreciate the fact of him approaching you when he knows you have someone that you are seeing now, and that you feel as if he has put you in an awkward situation, of worrying about the friendship you two have. Let him know that you still want to be friends with him but ask that he not approach you while you have a boyfriend.

just to make sure he doesn't do it again. It also lets him know that you are vibing the relationship that you are in and that you respect it and expect him to also respect it if he wishes to be friends with you. It also lets him know that you aren't mad at him and that he shouldn't be embarrassed for telling you or your response to it. most importantly it lets him know that you value your friendship with him, and maybe this won't mess your friendship up with him.

Good luck girl!

okay so I have this best friend who is really clingy and obsessive. If I don't get to call or talk to her in like 3 days she freaks out. She calls basically 4 times a day and exspects me to always be waiting by the phone to answer it. Recently I haven't been able to talk to her and she claims I have changed, that I've been miserable and sad, and that I've been hiding from the world. I seriously have no idea what the heck that means.. and I even told this to her; yet she still doesn't make any sense. Another thing she does is freak out when she finds out I'm hanging out with other friends that she doesn't nessisarly like. It's like she wants to spend every second of the day with me and sometimes it just gets on my nerves. I mean I love the girl to death but I always feel like I'm being suffocated. Help! what should I do?

thanks,
Michellemonster

I hate that your friend is doing this to you. Basically, she is being really selfish to not realize that you have been dealing with something personal. Also, it's not fair to put you in a situation as if you have to chose between people you like and wish to befriend either. She is wrong for that and you should tell her.

Let her know that you aren't being shady, and that you love her to death, but some times, you don't want to be bothered and that you need time for yourself. Tell her that when you tell her that you are sad or going through something that you expect her to listen, and be concerned and to show empathy not sympathy, and to respect you enough to ask you if you feel like talking or if you just need some time for self. Hell, if she can't respect that, cut her off. Also, be sure you aren't lying to her or avoiding her to hang with other friends to avoid conflict with her.

Tell her that you have other friends that you like to kick it with too and that she must be mature and respect that. Suggest that she get more friends too and attempt to squash her issues with your other friends, and to grow up. Once she does that maybe all of you can hang out sometimes.

Let her know that you are feeling suffocated, and pressured and that you don't like it or appreciate it. Tell her that she doesn't have to call you 4 times a day either. I have a friend like that, and I tell her up front, some times she respects me and some times she doesn't so when she doesn't respect me or what I've told her - I TAKE MY TIME to myself or with whoever I wish to kick it with. How, do I do this, I ignore her calls, or turn my phone off or I let her knock on my door - she says I am shady but I am not shady because I have my right to talk or hang with whoever I wish to be in conversation or company with. Shadiness is if you don't tell her what's up and just do it, now telling her and she still persists on being that way, calls for a reaction on your behalf which is to put her in a situation that she has no choice but to accept that you aren't talking that day or hanging that day. You feel me? You have that right too!! Life is too short to be pressed, stressed or feel like a mess or allow yourself to be bombarded upon girl.

Good Luck and once you release that pressure you are feeling, I doubt if you will be as sad or frustrated. Pressure bursts pipes.

Hey im 17/f and my boyfriend is 18/m. We have been dating off and on for about a year and a half. I do love him very much. We just argue all the time and fight about the most little things. Everytime we try to break up we end up getting back together. I do love him but im not sure if im in love with him. We've been through alot together i just dont want to end up married and me realizing that im not in love with him. How do i know if i still am??? Can somebody please tell me the signs i would have. Thanks soo much!

Oh girl! Man, I have been through this and to some extent still in it, after 17 years of on and off, marriage, divorce, on again, off again, proposal again, on on and on.

First, the definition of being in love - it's talking and communication with love. It's walking, dancing, riding, with love. It's arguing due to disagreements still respecting the fact that love is there, which also means it's not disrespectful arguments that carry out for days, and months. It's address it, correct it, fix it, or come to a median with it. Are you able to do this while arguing?

I am not sure of the reasons of the off and on thing for over a year; however I do know if it was due to lies, cheating, abuse or anything to do with cutting off to do better in life, then it's not going to work. People don't change unless they want to change, they lie about change. Lies, cheating, abuse and negativity isn't done out of love so how would be considered as being in love? make sense?

Also, it is so confusing to mistake being in love with being in lust. Upon getting back together, is it driven on feelings or sex? if it's just sexual, that isn't being in love, it's lust. Only you know the reasons that you two keep pulling back together. Upon being separated do you both see other people? If so, that means that internally there is really a desire to move on and upon moving on, you and/or he realize that the other person is missing something that you or he had. It could be something as simple as the way food is cooked. If it is sex that is not up to par with other mates when separated, it's lust.

The best way to know signs of being in love for you personally (because being in love doesn't just have general listings of identification as it differs with and in every person individually). list pros and cons girl. if there are more pros, differing from sex, look at these things now ask yourself are these things I can give to myself? get from someone else? felt with someone else? Cons - everything is sexual or , everything is negative- negativity isn't done with love or in love unless it's done to tear down to build up- you get where I am going with this?

Also, going through so much together really means so much and it also does so much. Either it lifts you or tears you down. Either you build trust from it, or you destroy trust from it. Being in love means that every realm of your being and his being - heart, soul, mind, spirit, body, and life is respected, negotiated, communicated, and bonded, touched, and breathed upon using love, feeling love, increasing love, building love and done in love.

I really hope this helps. Seems like you are already beginning to do some serious soul searching so that you are able to accept what is to come for your future in regards to this relationship and I commend you for that. More people should also dig deeply to find out where they are internally instead of just saying,and claiming that they are in love because they are used to each other or content in each other. I am so glad that you are seeking to know the difference for your own sakes. my email is sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. Feel free to email me if you wish. I will answer you and talk about this more if you want.

okay so i've been like crushing on this guy for almost 4 months. i haven't really showed it and i know him really well because he is like my best friend. well now it's summer and i have been showing him by flirting that i am interested. well now a girl moved back and he likes her! it's depressing. anywho i need to know how to make him understand that i want him. and how do i get him to like me and ditch her?

Girl- my favorite phrase is: A closed mouth doesn't get fed. This means if you don't let someone know what's up, how you feel, what you want or where you are going with something, they will never know, only you will know which produces no result.By all means: please always communicate what you are feeling. Flirting is nothing, everyone flirts in some way - what does it mean? Check this out,don't give assumptions, or implications. Say it, straight up.

something like this: Hey, I am feeling you. I like you for more than a friend. I have liked you for 4 months but didn't want to come out and tell you because I didn't realize the extent of it until you started liking Jane. (I don't know her name so I am calling her Jane). I am not trying to come in between you and her, but honestly, I do want you to know how I feel about you and I am asking that you think about it and get back with me in a couple of days or so (give him some time), don't pressure him. He will come to you. If he tells you he likes you too -let him know that he must make a decision as he can't have both of you. If it's you, then go for it, if it's not you, respect it and learn from it. The lesson to be learned is what I said in the beginning of my answer.

Don't think of how can I get him to ditch her. Think of what I have to offer him, how can I make him happy, how do I tell him of my interest in him and where do we go from him. It's about you, not her. you feel me?


Good Luck

last night i had sex with my boyfriend and for the first time in like three weeks. I'm almost positive that he wouldn't cheat on me but i guess i don't know i'm really confused and kinda scared. Sorry for graphicness but i was pleasuring him orally and i felt these weird little things on him.. and i was just like what ever which was stupid but yeah. Now i have them on the opening around my holes and they burn... they look kinda like little taste buds or something.. is this an std or what?

Damn.

Girl, I am so sure that it is a STD or some other type of infection. I am hoping it's not genital herpees or anything like that. I am going to attach a web site for you to look at and see if you have some of the symptoms. Click on the link below

http://pediatrics.about.com/od/stds/a/04_std_symptoms.htm

PLEASE go to the doctor for testing. You may also go to your local health department. Also, let your boyfriend know of your concerns, and observations and advise him to also go in case treatment is required baby. Good luck and I am praying for you that all is OK.

okay so I like this guy I'm 15/f and ill be 16 in october he just turned 20 june and I realllyy like him I'm pretty sure he likes me but I'm not positive but we have been talking a lot lately and I have sent him pictures of me but I'm fully clothed. we have talked about doing stuff and we are going to hangout. I am a virgin and I want to loose it to him I'm pretty sure he will take it. anyway is that considered statitory rape if I'm 16? I really like him and he likes me he said he wouldn't date me until I'm 18 because he cares about me and we don't want to get introuble I want to be withhim bad but do you also think he's using me? thank you for reading and thank you for responding

Dear heart,

I promise you that I understand what you are feeling, even to the extent of what you want to do. I am not sure of the state you are in, but yes in most states it is considered as statutory rape, seriously.

I know you want to lose your virginity to him, but please think about this: if you are questioning if he could be using you or not, why would you want to give him something so precious? Being a virgin at your age, is great and shouldn't be given to someone whom you have so many questions about. You are questioning the age factor, if he is using you, as well as if he likes you (you are saying you are pretty sure, that he likes you but you aren't positive). Sex is to be done with love is a factor, not possible like. Hey, read what you wrote: at first you said you're not positive that he likes you- then you say, you really like him and he likes you and that he cares for you.

Do me a favor and most importantly do yourself a favor: Ask him to wait. Tell him that you aren't ready yet and that there are some things that you must find out about yourself before you lose your virginity. Upon doing this, talk to your parents about him, and his age. Do they know about him? Do they know his age? It is really only a 4 year difference, and I DON'T see that as a huge age difference, however when sexual activity becomes involved, it changes my views from a legal stand point & from a parent view.

If your parent's are willing to accept your involvement with a 20 year old (which if you were my daughter, I wouldn't accept it for the fact that I KNOW sex would become an issue) but I would at least allow him to come over with me there. I would let them talk on the phone, and as years go by once she's 17 or 18, I guess I would have to accept it if he made her happy and invested time into getting to know her and allowing her to get to know him. You feel me?

I am pretty sure he will take it too, he's a guy, hell a man and you're a virgin. Not only that you're younger than he is and still a teenager.

Do some research - call up an attorney in your state, don't give your name or his name - and ask them the ages that statutory rape is considered valid.

Good luck, be careful and think really hard, do some soul searching dear, once you do that, please try to make sound judgment that is beneficial to your life and future.

Heya!

This isn't just for a personal reason, but for one of my classes at school I need some popular songs of the 80s in one of the projects.

So a list of popular songs of the 80s would be good :) Websites will do, it doesn't have to come from the top of your head.

http://www.afn.org/~afn30091/80songs.html



This web site list popular 80 songs. If you need more help, let me know. I used to love the 80's.

Ok So, I'm 15 and my friend is 14. There's this guy that is 22 and she realy likes him. We talked the other night and she told me a whole bunch of things that really concerns me. First, This 22 year old guy that she likes has a girlfriend, and she is also one of my friends. Second, everytime him and her hug, he grabs her boob. She told me that one time, when they were walking around they started making out and it turned into more than just a makeout. He actually pulled down her shorts and underwear and fingered her. I can't believe she let him. I just don't want his girlfriend to get hurt, and I dont know what to tell my friend. Ive tried to talk to her but maybe im not saying the right things. Thanks for your help

In ref to your question in the response to the rating - Sure, it is ok to go ahead and tell your sister. Tell someone, but make sure it is addressed because I don't want your friend who's 14 to get pregnant, burned, or hurt or abused anymore because he is abusing her and it's illegal. Also remember this: Those who stand for NOTHING, FALL for anything! MY email is sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. Good luck sweetie.




What an a hole to take advantage of a 14 year old! Talk to your friend again and tell her that if she really likes him, she will not do that mess again because he can take his sorry ass to jail and that he is only using her. He has no respect for her ,his girlfriend or himself to even do that. Also, let her know that you don't like it and don't want to be a part of that mess, which means that you don't want to be around it. If you are that strong about the difference in your friend,and yourself (morals and values), you may have to cut her off, for real.

Since you are friends with his girlfriend too, that means you most likely know him well enough to tell him that you know what he has been doing and that if he doesn't stop that you will tell her parents and his girlfriend! If you don't want to do that, you could also tell your parents and they could tell her parent's, if you just flat out want nothing to do with the BS, then after you tell your 14 year old friend everything you're feeling and she doesn't respect it, cut her off and let her do what she does to get caught, pregnant, aids, STD, CAUGHT! whatever is done in the dark always comes to light!

Good luck and I am sorry you are in this type of situation, which is why I always caution kids, teens, adults too, watch the company you keep or who you hang with!

17/f

To begin, I don`t need a boyfriend - most times I don`t even want one. However, sometimes there`s just those summer nights when I`m sitting down at the beach when I wish I had someone to share it with. I think I`d make an awesome girlfriend if I had the chance.

I have five guys (that I know of) who say they like me. I rarely talk to them, but all of a sudden they`re all wanting to get to know me. Out of the mix, there is one guy who is someone that I`d potentially like to get to know.

Here`s the catch. I like a guy who I`ve ever only spoken to once.. on facebook. I know, right? Ridiculous. He went to my school for eight months but never got to know anyone other than his sports teammates. Now he is living quite far away again. I always tried to get his attention, but he is going to be a professional sports player so I figured a ton of girls would be after him. He`s smart, athletic, & good looking. Once I caught him reading shakespeare under the table in science when I walked past his class. I`m serious! He seems so interesting.

Anyways, he doesn`t come back for another two months (he only lives here during the sports season). I`d really like to have someone to go to the beach with me now, but I don`t think I could commit myself to anyone while knowing the sports guy is coming back.

Do I just live another two months of my life as I have for years? I`m perfectly fine without anyone, but wouldn`t that just add to the excitement of summer if I had someone? I`m not entirely sure if I`d ever have anything happen with the sports guy. Most people would say he`s too impossibly perfect, but I like a challenge. Like I said, I`d make a great girlfriend, I think.

Sorry for the length of this question, but I thought some background would help to clarify the situation. What might you do if you were in my situation? Thanks so much, your help is greatly appreciated!

Understood!

You are only looking for a male friend to spend some time with. Nothing is wrong with that at all. If there are 5 guys that like you, chose one that you think you may have more in common with and ask if he would like to hang out sometimes, as a friend only with no intent of anything else right now. Upon choosing the one guy you befriend, you may grow to like him more and forget about stud sports guy. "smile" but, if you don't and still have an interest in him, wait until he gets back and let him know you are interested in him - hell, since the other guy will be a friend ONLY he could give you some advice from a male's point of view and even encourage you. He could even get a girlfriend so that you and her become cool and double date with sports guy.


Also: you are cool with being alone but that's not what you really want because you reiterate it too much. "smile" and there is nothing wrong with desiring male companionship, It's all about how you carry yourself girl! have fun.

Today I have an interview, as I have applied to volunteer for the local Parks & Rec. Initially I didn`t think I needed to bring anything other than ID, but will I need to bring a resume? That would involve completely redoing mine today, but I`m not sure if it`s entirely necessary. I have never had a job, so my resume is rather bare.

Thanks!

ALSO bring your social security card to prove right to work in the US as a citizen and a resume in case asked for it. It is always best to have too much information than not enough information. & GOOD LUCK and volunteer work is awesome! GREAT JOB.

How does a wedding work with a mute? I really want to get married.. with family and friends around but it makes me so unhappy that it probably won't even happen... I don't want to go to a courthouse to sign papers stating that I'm married.

If you speak sign language, you can have a minister perform the wedding, and have someone there who does sign language translation and go for it! you deserve happiness and to be married and you DO NOT have to have a court house wedding or short your life because you are mute, my dear! I have an uncle and aunt who are also mute and can't hear, their wedding was beautiful. We had people who were mute and/or def, and those who weren't and we all understood the ceremony and it was beautiful. You can do internet searches in your city for wedding coordinators who speak sign language.

Good luck and be happy!!! stop being negative, and know that if you want something to happen, control it and make it happen!!

hi im 13
i know this is a weird question but is it normal for guys my age to masturbate
i dont do it really often but wen i do it i just feel good inside it just feels so nice and stuff
i try not to do it cause i think its bad but is it really? i need to know

is it just weird for a 13 year old male to do this kind of stuff?

Generally I wouldn't answer because of age, but your question is decent, respectful and perfectly normal to me. So here is answer" It is normal and there is nothing wrong with it. Most teens that do this start off at 12 or 13. It isn't weird.
