:.Hey x3
My name is Emily and blah blah blah.


:.I have a lot of personal, family, and friend issues of my own so a lot of times, I can probably relate to you a lot of times if you have personal, family, and/or friend issues.


:.I can offer a lot of information, help, and advice on family and friend relationships, love lives, depression, stretching/flexibility, weight loss, violin, being organized, dog training, forensics (public speaking), keeping up with school/extracurricular activities, eating disorders, writing (stories and poems), and probably a lot of other random stuff like what to drink when you eat something spicy and why.


:.Although I can help a lot of you guys on the above subjects, I don't tend to take my own advice so it can become quite an awkward/ironic/contradicting situation for me or make myself sound like a complete and utter hypocrite.


:.Hannah Whitall Smith once said, "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." I agree 100% of it. Advice is advice and it is given when asked for. I give it and I leave it at that. It's up to the questioner/advice seeker to take it.


:.That point leads onto my philosophies in advice giving:
1. Advice is given when asked and no time else, unless your friend is about to irritate a black bear, then you should definitely advice your friend to back away and run for his or her life.
2. Advice is not critical, not judgmental, and definitely not biased. Advice is advice and should remain neutral.
3. Advice is to help, not to get 5s on every answer. As a result, my advice ends up being quite blunt and frank with a hint of rambling mixed in.

If you have general questions on the topics I can be a lot of help in (as listed above), most likely, they will be in my FORUM

If it is not, you can inbox me to request me to put it up.

:.If you want to ask me a question directly...
a)if it is not urgent and can wait a week or so, inbox me.
b)if it is an urgent question such as "I'm being eaten by a shark! What do I do???" first of all, I'm quite amazed that you can type while being eaten and second of all, e-mail me at cancel.life@gmail.com. I will answer you by midnight of that day (or if it's 11:55PM, probably by 3PM the following day).

okay, where to start. well i was going out with this boy named Alex. and i liked him alot and everything but he liked me like a thousand times more. well like every night this boy Lane would call me tryin to get with me, but i never thought anything of it. well about two months passed and me and Alex had already broken up. Then Lane was going out with my friend Addair who can't keep a boyfriend at all. Well she was grounded and me and Lane and all my other friends were all friends so we were goin out together and Lane started liking me that night again. me and Lane have kind of like always had a thing for eachother. well the next Addair brok up with Lane cause like i said, she doesn't like keeping a boyfriend. then Lane asked me out. so i said yes. i have never had a boyfriend like Lane before. it was so much fun with him, like we experienced so many new things together. we went out for 3 1/2 months and then at this fair thing we have in my town, his friends from his school were there [we go to different schools] and he started acting like a COMPLETE JERK. like it was so weird, he was never that bad. so then i couldnt take it and i broke up with him. then i found out he acted like that so i would break up with him. that hurt. i was sitting there crying so hard and all he could say to me was stop shaking. so then we went a caouple days without talking, and then i called him. i was like, Lane, what happened? and he basically told me he was just tired of having a girlfriend and he wanted to be single. i never wanted to break up with him. so then the first weekend after we broke up we were hanging out at the mall with all our friends and he was acting like we were like, "together" you know. and it made me so mad. but i couldnt help but like it cause i like him. then the next day me him, my best friend Taylor, and her boyfriend which is Lane's bestfriend, Kyle all went to the movies. well Lane likes kind of "simple" girls in a way. and well, i dress kind of not simple sometimes. i like acessories and style and stuff. well at the movies that night he decided that he wasnt gonna hang out with us because of what i was wearing. i mean how frickin low is that. i was so mad. cause then i was stuck with Taylor and her boyfriend and oh my gosh that was like hell. well then i had people over at my house the next monday and he was one of them. we flirted like crazy and like, i can tell there's chemistry there. but i just don't know how much. well then last night we went to the movies again, me Taylor, Kyle, and Lane. well me and Lane used to always go to the movies together when we went out, alot of stuff happened at the movies. so it was hard. cause you don't know how bad i just wanted to start making out with him. well then he started trying to kiss me and he held my hand and i resisted for a while but uhhh i just cant resist that boy. so then we were like all together and it was just so confusing and he was like i still like you and i shouldn't have ever broken up with you. my friend Taylor doesn't think i should go back out with him anytime soon. my friend Caela thinks i deff. should. my friend Addair is in the middle. so i am so completely confused. i dont know what he wants, i dont know what i want, i dont know what my friends want. so can you help, please? sorry its so long, lol.

thankss

PLEASE DONT GO OUT WITH HIM AGAIN.

He's your ex for a reason and he broke your heart by being a low selfish bastard. If you go out or give into him again, you're letting him walk alll over you, take advantage of you, etc. And the next time you guys go out, you guys WILL break up soon and he's gonna break your heart much worse that time!!!

He was being a jerk. He had no good reason. And then he likes you again, ditches you cuz of your outfit (I mean he likes you for you, not what you wear. And that doesn't seem to be the case with him) and then he makes out and holds your hands. Sweetie, he is screwing you up!

He's confusing you and manipulating you. He's from what I understand looks like a player. Dont get involved with him anymore and set boundries. Sure he can be your best friend and what not but not your boyfriend agian hon. Go out with another guy at your school love and forget about this boy that is a total bastard.

I've been in the same situation and trust me, the second break up and what not is much worse than the second.

I liked this guy on and off for about a year, he was on my bus last year so thats when i got 2 hang with him, i never really told any one when I liked him because he is really popular and I have no chance with him. I also didn't want to like him because he is a major player. Thursday was the first day of highschool, I have 1 class with him, my best firend has 2 classes with him. All of a sudden he is waving 2 her in the hall way and dont all thing things he used 2 do 2 me 2 her. He still talks 2 me sometimes but now she likes him and I was driving me nuts having her talk 2 him. But it got worse he got her sn and told her that he like her and asked her out! I mean come on we have been in school 4 only 2 days! But he said we can go out later cuz we dont know each other that much. She said she wouldn't go pasted 1st with him and he said he is fine with that. Ugh Is so fustrating I don't understand why guys always like her, i mean don't get me wrong shes my best firend i love her but omg she had like 20 boyfirends just got out of an real long relationship, i just don't get it. She pretty but not insanly, shes got boobs but not that much, and she gets mad really easly, i just dont get it ugh...... I really like him, i just don't know what 2 do. Sorry its so long. Thanks and bunch!

Hon, chill. It's one guy. If he's a player, screw him. He probably has STDs by now and he'll dump you if you do go out with him. What's the fun of being one of the many exs' of a player? Seriously!! I hate it when girls get soo hung up on one guy that jumps form one girl to another!!

If he likes her, let him like her. They're going out? Let them go out. Count how many days it will take for him to find another girl to ditch your best friend for.

If you like him, TELL HIM. TALK TO HIM MORE. If you don't, he'll NEVER know. But please, please, PLEASE don't let a guy ruin your friendship. SERIOUSLY. I did that once and I still regret it and it's been 2 years. If you really like him soo much, rethink this: your heart will be broken like it'snever been broken before.

Yes I sound cruel and a little outspoken..okay a lot. But you know, I've been experienced with a player. And sweetie, it's not fun.

Hi well my friend Lianne is having a big problem and i really want to help her out so maybe u all can help me...see...She has this friend named Julia who likes Liannes good friend Ryan and Ryan likes Julia too and when Lianne talks to ryan all he talks about is Julia and when Julia talks to lianne all she talks about is ryan and she cant take it anymore. Plus her friend Caela has this boyfriend that lianne REALLY likes and she doesnt know what to do and shes all frustrated and i told her to talk to Julia but she doesnt really seem satsifyed i just really want to help her so please anwser me

Haha, I was in the same situation...except the boyfriend thing. Erm yea. Here's what I did:

I had the two friends who liked each other go to the movies with me. And then when we all sat down (Me at one end so the ones who have crushes on each other sat right next to each other) and I stood up, said "You both like each other. Go out already!" and I ditched. Just make sure that when the movie ends, that the two will have a ride =P

As for the Caela and bf thing: LAY OFF OF HIM! It's her friend;s boyfriend. He is OFF the auction table. And Lianne needs to crush on another boy

when i minimize programs they do not show up on the task bar how do i get them to show?

The task bar or the programs or what? What programs? If it's AIM, YIM, or some sort of messenger, got to preference, buddy list, and uncheck the box that says "Hide when I minimize" or something like that

If it's the taskbar, go to Control Panel, Taskbar/Start Menu, and look around and you should find a button that says hide taskbar

Hon, you've got to enter more details or we can't really help you out. And then a lot of people get pissed when we get 1's for not answering the question..which wasn't very clearly or well stated

Well yesterday me and my boyfriend were supposted to hang out at the movies.. but i tried calling him and telling him that i was just going to go to his house, and no one answered, and he went to the movies alone. He is pretty mad at me, and i dont know whats going to happen, i have explained myself 4567 times, but he still feels like i ditched him... any idea on what i can do to make it up to him, not like go to the movies with him... real advice to make him really understand that i care, and am rele sorry,

thanks
16/f

Just spend one on one time with him. Try telling him how much he means to you. Hang out at the mall or at either of your houses and just sit there and talk, watch TV, something...

ok so im a 15/m and theres this girl who is a 14/f. she is best friends with my friend. well currently i have a long distance relationship with this girl. but i still want to talk to the girl who likes me and stuff. but she is extremely shy. and she likes me ALOT. but i have no idea what to talk to her about. but she is like really likes me alot so like she can come up and say hi or hello but then theres an awkward silence. but i really want to get to know her she seems liek a nice girl and it would be nice to maybe all three of us hang out and stuff. but i want to get to know her a little more and be able to talk to her more before we hang out becuase i dont want it to be a boring time. so any tips on what to say to her where i would get a response??? thanks

aww that is so sweet =D lmao. i need more guys like that who actually put effort into making femal friends in my life XD.

but if she's shy, just let her get comfy around you. who knows, maybe she has a hyper side of her. sorta like me. sorta not.

But anywhos just find out what she's interested in and start talking about that. Ask your friend on what you should talk to her about and such. And please lay off the perverted horny guy stuff. And odn't gross ehr out =D. If you need more ideas, IM me on AIM at ductape n roses

or yim...but im rarely on that.erm yea. its all in my column

There is this CUTE guy at my school and his name his Logan. He's a tall, cute, blonde guy that is a Freshman. He's nice, sweet, handsome, and everything what I think is perfect.
If you are experienced with guys that are hardly older than you, maybe you can give a girl a hand.
I'm 14/F (Chinese) and I just want to get some advice how to talk to the guy I really like.
I met him last year, and only been liking him for about 9 months and I hardly can talk to him!!! When I am with my friend and she says Hi Logan, I try to bring up cofidence to talk to him and later, I wish I just said MORE.
Can you help me and what can I tell him so I can figure out if he likes me or not. How can I overcome this fear? I only have 4 more years and things happen quickly. He's going to the homecoming, maybe, and I'm so jealous because I'm not old enough.
THANK YOU AND SO SORRY IT'S SO LONG!!

Sweetie. CHILL. You're 14. Don't get caught up on one guy! Seriously. I did that and I regret it because I ended up realizing that it's much better off to be his best friend then to get dumped after 2 weeks relationship. And during that time I turned down guys that liked me =/

But really, how's he gonna notcie you if you never tlak to him? Be bold and confident and just tlak to him as if you're tlaking to your girl friends just dont start the femal anatomy. Just BE YOURSELF. chill. don't act slutty or hyper. Just be mature calm around him and please please please please please if antoher guy asks you out and you know him, say yes and not wit for Logan to ask you out.

Just talk to Logan about stuff like the upcoming shcool games and such. Invite him with other friends to go bowling or to the movies, etc.

(13/f) There's this boy in my English class and he's really cute. He sits all the way across the room from me but sometimes, I see him staring at me and then staring at this other girl. He's not usually quiet, but sometimes he is - which I think is sweet bc I like shy guys. Anyway, so how do I know if he (or any other guy) likes me? (He likes someone else though) We never talk, so how do I talk to him?!?

Hon, you're 13. Stop obsesssing over boys. LMAO who am I kidding. Well first thing: if you think this boy is staring at you and you've never talked to him, yeah there is a greater chance of him staring at something behind you or something. And no that does not justify the thought "he likes me".

And how do you talk to him? Say hi? partner up with him on projects or something. Ask for hw or notes...although you have them.. but SHH!! he doesnt know...=D Just be casual and talk to him. He'll never even know you exist unless you talk to him sweetie

hi
so i JUST (yesturday) broke up with my boyfreind. I had to because i guess it was puppy love and i really didn't love him. So today my mom tells me "oh he's heart broken" and now i feel really bad. I really DON'T want to get back together with him but i feel bad. To make matters worse his best friend asked me out. His best friend is kinda cute but i said i only liked him as a friend, which i do. its all really confuseing!! :( please help i'm a mess. :'(
thank yo u SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much
-YOLIV:(

Oh my goodness. I was in the same position. I was dating James but I broke up with him because, well I don't like being tied down like that and he loved WAY too much PDA so yea. I broke up with him and it kinda got nasty because he said he broke up with me, etc. and then he acted all depressed. Then his friend Harley asked me to the dance and I declined (and the worst part is that I could'nt tell him I just wanted to be friends because his friend ran up asked, got the yes no part and ran off)

But yea. Breaking up . Getting together. Being dumped, all that stuff is the kinks in life. And sadly we do have to deal with it and that is when our guilt decides to wake up >.< But really, if you didn't like him, it was a right choice to breka it off bec\ause you dont' want doubts in relationships. Anywhos just go back to being friends with your ex but dont get back together unless you start developing more intense feelings for him. And about his best friend, well he should understnad because you said you only wanted him as a friend..

Really all I'm saying is: Don't get back with your ex unless you develope more intense feelings for him. As for his best friend, give him a chance if you wish but beware that if you do go out with oyur ex's best friend, it might create a little spark b/w them =/ And don't feel like you're the bad one for breaking it off and making your bf "heart broken" he'll get over it soon or eventually. =X

mkay so there's this guy..please dont stop reading i know you are probably sick of these questions but i rly need help..and i rly like him and i want to go to homecoming with him. but he needs to ask me. i dont want to ask him because girls arent supposed to do the asking. we are pretty good friends and all but i want to be more than that. i really want him to be my bf. he flirts with me all the time before first period when we talk for like half an hour and i dont know if he likes me as more than a friend he just kind of acts like it but it could be me wishing he was acting like that. i dont know what exactly my question is but please help! and please dont say just wait, homecoming isnt that far away and if im going with him i have to have sufficient amount of time to get a dress haha. please help and sorry this is so long. (will rate)

DUDE! Rambling. Punctuation. Spelling. I would've said "Screw this question" because it belongs in one of the "Questions I hate" list in my column but since you said to dont stop reading.

Anywhos. Why can't girls ask guys out? Seriously. I;ve done that twice. And it worked =D I don't see why the guys have to be the ones asking girls out but if that's not your thing, well I don't know.

I don't know him so I cant say for sure if he likes you or not. But really, he could just be really himself when you think he's flirting with you. This is one of the dilema I had. I would always think that my guy friend was flirting with me and I really wanted him t obe my bf (no joke. this is a real story). But when I asked him, he only wanted to stay friends. And later on I accepted that because I'm pretty good friends with him and I'm proud of that. He has like no girl friends because all the girls like him and go out with him and bam, they're his ex in a few days. But me, well I'm his friend no matter what and the other girls can't have that.

ASK him out. Or have your friend slyly drop in a convo mentioning that you want him to ask you out for the prom...when you're not there. And say yes! lmao. And if he turns you down n other guys ask you out, go out with them and have a blast. You don't always have to go to homecoming with a guy. Go with your friends and don't let it ruin all the fun cuz of ONE boy.

Just have fun =D

hey this is Ankur from india.i am stuck in a pickle of what should in do. my ex is so beautiful right now that i feel like i should go back to her. at the same time i feel like of patching up a relationship with girl in my class.at the same time time there is a girl whom i like who in another shift of the same school.i am a science student and she is commerce. please somebody help me out of this pickle, damn i am really stuck

Um, okay. She is your ex for a REASON. If you want to go through all those nasty bad stuff again be my guest but don't. You sound like you only like her for her physical appearance and not for her herself.

And for your friend, patch things up. Who says you cant? What's the big problem there? & for the otehr girl you like, go talk t her dude!. Seriously. TALK to her. And be nice and friendly and smile a lot =D.

And yesh. You should watch your language on here. It could easily have you removed from Advicenators. Remember that there are younger kids using this site so shush

its my 3rd day of school. i have a quiz tommarow and im most likely going to fail can someone explain, and answer these couple problems.. The endpoints of MN are M(-3,-9) and N (4,8)? what is the approximae legnth of MN? a 1.4, b 7.2 c 13 ,d 18.4? next question, and different type of question.. Use the given endpoint R and the midpoint RS to find the coordinates of the other endpoint S.... R(5,1),M(1,4)

Okay, for MN length, use the distance formula. It's simple. distance= (square root) (x-x) (squared) + (y-y) squared

So it will be the square root of (-3-4) squared + (-9-8) squared.

So -7 squared is 49 + 289 =338. Square root that and its 18. 384... so its D.

When they are looking for the length b/w 2 points, always use the distance formula. square root of (x-x) squared + (y-y) squared

----------------------------
Mid point...erm I'm pretty sure that M needs to be a S or its not possible to solve. Anywhos midpoint formula is:

x+x dived by 2 and y+y divded by two. So it will be 5+1 divded by two which is 3 and 1+4 divded by 2 which is 2.5

so its (3, 2.5) It's jsut asking for the coordinate halfway trough.

today was my first day of school (8th grade) and it was very boring and stressful. The boy I like is in 3 of my classes (out of 6) and we're both really shy. I'm not sure if he likes me but out of the corner of my eye, he sometimes looks at me. I really like him but i'm not sure if he knows that. He's not that popular and he knows SOMEBODY likes him... but I dont think he knows its me. My mom really cares about education and she says i'm not allowed to date guys until i'm 17! I really like this boy and I'm scared that I'm concetrating on him and not on education. I really need some advice on what to do. I want to respect my mom by following the rules and not dating until 17... but then again... I really like this boy! It's going to be like this for the entire year! Please help me!! I'm soo desperte! thanks bunches!

Ahhh 8th grade. Fun times. For me anyways. If you want to follow your mom's rule and not date until 17, forget about him. Just be friends with him. But if you're like me, go out with him and don't tell your mom. My mom basically won't let me date until I get out of COLLLEGE. And even then she'll interrogate me about the boy (What's his GPA, is he good in lcass, what's he taking, blah blah)

You're only in 18th grade. Enjyo it and don't get stressed over a boy. TRUST ME that's not the funnest way to spend your special year in 8th gradE!!!

Just be friends with him. Invite him to the movies with several other girl and guy friends. Go to the bowling alley. Do a group thing and invite him all the time. And just TALK to him. Pretend he's one of your girl friends...just don't start exploring the female anatomy =P

Haha. And if you get the vibe (along ith your friends) that he likes you and he doesnt ask you out, YOU ask him out. Seriously...what have you got to lose? Or if you're too shy to ask him out, just clue him in that the girl that likes him is you and just casually ask if he wants to go to a movie...well with your friends that is..=X

Haha... just enjoy 8th grade, don't get hung up over him...Talk to him on AIM or MSN or YIM...just TALK to him. Seriously.

Well I've tried all I can =D. Have fun and enjoy 8th grade because high school...uhg too big and stairs!! AHHH

I'm a 17 year old tomboy and since hs started me and my guy friends are slowly drifting. most of my guys friends all hang out together. before we party , hang out, play football,and complain about and ditch significant others for monday night football, together. now they still do it together, but i'm getting less and less invites. alot of times its because its harder to explain to parents since when they see me all they see is a girl and they don't understand that i would never everhook up with one of my guy friends. i know alot of girls consider themselves one of the guys, but as soon as one shows interest the two couples up and hook up. i'm not at all like that, they don't find me a bit attractive nor vice versa cause it would just be weird. i've watched porn with them, seem them hook up with girls, played their 'wing man', given them gf advice, i even use to play football with them (until it got way too painful after sophmore year hahaha tackling 300lbs guys in mud somehow loses it's appeal). recently a close bud of mine had a serious conversation with me, he basically sat me down and told me we weren't going to hang out much anymore because 'we respect you' and we only hang out with girls we have shots at scoring with. i hate it so much! i feel like i'm stuck in between, i'm too weird for girls and i'm still a girl so i can't hang with the boys. lately i've been hanging out with alot of older guys or guys not from my area so i could act like a ditzy girl, it seems to be the only way i can hang out with anyone and have fun. am i forevern doomed to be a hidden party girl?

at school i always feel really weird wearing skirts and girly/mainstream clothing, but i really want to get some new friends since i dont want to be left out completly in the cold when my guy friends feel like kciking me to the curb.

That's like me. I'm a tomboy too. Yet my mom thinks I'm gonna turn les or something (she's a homophobe X?)
From what I know, my guy friends like me at one time or another and I turn them down because I don't want to ruin the friendship.

Your guy friends love to be friends with you because you're bold, confident, yourself, etc around them and they want to go out with you (maybe) but you just want to stay friends. Maybe that's bothering them since they want to be more than friends...OR maybe the girls that they're going out with feel intiminated by you and that makes your guy friends uncomfortable as well as they're girlfriends since you're such good friends with them.

And at school, the normal average girls are obsessed with make up, short skirts,hair styles, cosmetic stuff and such. I don't apply to that and I only have one girl friend who is athletic =P Just make friends with the girls who are athletic who isn't so obsessed with cosmetics. Basketball, softball, etc. And tell your guy friend who had the serious convo with you what you just told me. Tell them that it's easier for you to be friend with you guys and that you don't want to ruin the friendships that you have by getting kicked out or going out with them. Tell them that you don't want to be alone when you get kicked out because you don't really click with the girls.

Just tell them what you feel and don't hold back. Also, you sound like you have a great personality so don't change for these other artifical girls =D

Hi, I am so confused. I don't know what i want half the time and the other half i don't know if it is the right thing to do, I know i'm probably overthinking it or something...anyways problem, i had a semi-serious relationship last year which got sort of messy towards the end, i just wanted to end it swiftly. the break up was not at all emotional for me, i guess i just turned off all emotions, it was really weird. awhile after the split i guess i started feeling the belated effects and the sadness started kicking in. lately i've been away from home so i'm missing people alot including the ex, and i only forget about the yearning when i'm distracted with other guys. i'm worried that i'm covering up the loneliness and replacing the 'void' with anyone who is just there. i'm a really out going person and i'm really social, i don't want another relationship to just 'happen' if i'm not ready or in it for the right reasons. I dont want to date someone just to have a boyfriend and risk potentially hurting someone. I want to like them for them, not use them as a common replacement.

sorry if my question was just a really long rant

Erm,so I don't really get what the question is...so sorry if I don't answer it.

Since you got out of a semi serious relationship you might be on rebound. Erm since you can't stop thinking about your ex unless you're with another boy, just be friendly to your ex and talk to him. Who says that you guys can't be friends? Right..?
But remember, don't get back with him, he's your ex for a reason and if you want to go through what you guys went throuhg--again--well, that's up to you.

Instead of haning out with guys all the time, hang out with your girl friends. talk to them about it because that should help. tell them what you just told me and just get it all out...

i need some help..on making friends.what kinds of things do friends talk about normally??.well im kind of a quiet person but i talk.i wanna be more sociable. what makes people like you??.i kind of have no one to talk to at home for bout 2 years..thats why im so antisocial.im just used to not talkin much.is that really weird??.i need a lot of help with this.its too embarrassing to ask a friend or someone.i hate this the most about me.how can i act more cool and stuff like that??

Be bold and confident. Be yourself. Don't label judge or be nasty. Don't be a stuck up teachers pet. If you're thinking what if they odnt like me,what if they think im weird, etc. Well don't think those things. They don't know you and they have no right to label you then and there and if you keep on thinking those thoughts, it's bound to happen. So just think that you're gonna be friends with them, that they might like you,etc. Happy toughts.

Get on aim and talk to people on there. Be like online buddies. And then when you get to school act like you were on IM. Don't be afraid to say what you want to . Really, we don't want to be the only ones talking. So just chime in but not interrupt.

Just talk to a lot of people. Introduce yourself to as many people as you can. Join clubs or activities at school and get to know people with the same interest as you =D

i have a major crush on a kid in my class, we hang out alot but whenever im around him im totally nervous and cant talk!does anyone anyone have any advice thawt wouldnt make me so nervous around him ?!?!?

Don't freak love. Just think of him as your friend thats a girl..just don't explore the female anatomy.

Talk to him on aim, yim, or msn and make yourself comfortable talking to him. And then talk to him at school just like you would on IM...just don't actually say lol, lmao, etc.

Hey guys, I'm trying to lose weight, but the right way. I need help with what to eat (breakfast, lunch, & dinner) because usually I just grab what I can find, which is probably why I've gained weight. I'm going to go food shopping w/my mom soon so if you could, a list of things to buy would be helpful. If you can, can you tell me what you've done in the past that has helped you to lose weight like what you ate and how you exercised daily? Thankyouu, all answers are rewarded :)

You should get veggies and fruits and stay away from puddings, chips, junk food, ice cream, peanut butter, etc.

For breakfast if you're a cereal person, grab a whole grain cereal like life or keloggs cereal.
If you're a toast person, eat whole grain bread instead of white bread. And no butter. Put low fat jellly but no peanut butter. That's all fat. If you like eggs..well I don't know about eggs. No bacon or sausages though. For juice and milk, make it low fat. Fat free, etc. Same with yogurt. Stay away from splenda and foods that say diet ___ or sugar free on them. They have a substance in there that is very very harmful for your body and is reportedly said to cause cancer.

Lunch, eat a ham and cheese sandwhich or mac and cheese or something simply like that. Keep in mind that celery burns calories instead of gaining calories and lettuce has a low calorie but fills you up realy well. Stay away from white bread, white rice , and pastas.

When you eat, put just a normal needed portion of food on your plate and don't pile. Use a salad plate instead of a big dinner plate to give the illusion that you're still eating a lot. Don't go for a second plate or scarf down that food. It takes at least 20min for the brain to think tht you're full. NEVER skip a meal because it will slow down your metabolism and make your body STORE fat. Eat a lean pocket and an apple for lunch instead of hot pockets.

Um, let's see. Eat small snacks like apples, bananas, carrots in b/w meals to stop you from over eating from being hungry.

For the exercising...
There is a program on TV--Denis Austin workout. It comes on at 7 and ends at 8AM here in Virginia. You should check your tv guide and see what time it comes on in your area. But I love her exercises. They really really help. Do pilates or hit the gym with your friends or family. Walk around the neighborhood for at least 30min 3 to 5 times a week. I usually jog 3-4times a week for 30min continuously and do denis austin exercises every morning. You should see results within 3 weeks if you exercise 5 days a week.

Over the weekends go out and ride your bike or play tennis with your friends. Just don't sit on that couch all day and eat chips. or any food. Do little exercises like squats or crunches while you watch TV. Standing burns more fat than sitting too. Also don't overowrk your self and do straining exercises because you will burn muscles instead or fat 0__0

My situation is quite confusing. I'll start from the beginning. I'm 17 years old...and will be 18 in 13 days. I developed feelings for a guy at work over this past summer. He is 24. Keep in mind, I am a virgin and plan on staying that way for a long, long time...and he knows this.

He always treats me with kindess and respect...and has the ability to put a smile on my face no matter what. He is the ideal guy for me. Well, I am terrible at keeping things a secret. Apparently, I made my crush a little too obvious.

When he found out that I like him, he completely shut me out. I can't even go near him. It's as if I'm invisible. I thought he was mad at me. I asked someone if he was, and they said that I flustered him. That isn't exactly a good thing. Basically, he's going to stay away until he's comfortable around me...especially because he's afraid to lead me on.

What do I do? What does this mean? How do I fix this? Even if I don't have a chance romantically, I need to know how to fix our friendship. I've known him for over a year and for him to completely shut me out like this...it's killing me.

I'm in desperate need of help. Please, any advice you have means the world to me. Thank you in advance

Well, I'm guessing that since he's 24 and you're right now 17, and if he leads you on and goes out with you it could easily lead to a criminal offense. Maybe he wants to wait until you're 18. Or maybe he just wants to keep it a good friendship. Admit it, even if you turn 18, it's still 6 years of difference!

You're probably going into college, right? There will be lots of guys there for you to meet. Don't hang up yourself on this way too older guy.

You should write him a note saying that you really want to be friends and you're feeling bad for pushing him away. You really want to stay friends with him and that you want to make up somehow.
