i'll answer any questions you ask =)

advice

Ok, so I have a boyfriend and I really, really like him. There's only one problem...I'm not allowed to date until I'm 16. I'm not really sure if just haning out at school is considered dating or not. Plus, I always feel embarrassed having a boyfirend, or guilty because I'm not supposed to. I really don't know what to do. My mom knows we're "going out" if you could call it that since we don't really do anything together since, well, I can't date. My sister doesn't have a problem "dating" a guy before 16 but I do. What should I do?

you guys can still be good friends & not exactly "dating". you guys can do the same things. hang out, go places, etc etc. & juss not do that with anyone else. if you do that until you're 16, then after that you can juss call each other "bf & gf". if not, then maybe you should wait until you're older.

this is what i had so far today: (i just got home from school a little while ago)

breakfast: an oatmeal on the go breakfast bar & water (i only have time to eat on the bus lol.)

lunch: salad a fruit roll up and a few crackers

when i got home from school: pretzels and yogurt

i'm obviously gonna eat later, but i was wondering what range of calories should i have a day, and what else should i eat to help thin out my thighs and stomach a little bit (along with excersise)

thanks

you should have around 2200 if you're athletic & around 2000 if you aren't. here's a few websites-

Does anyone know any sites like download.com where you can get free downloads for your ipod?

thanks!

the only thing you could use would be an illegal DL'er like limewire. that one barely gives out viruses & if you have a good virus scan program you should be fine. if not, you can buy an itunes card around $5-$100 depending on how many songs you want. also, myspace has a music section where you can look up the artists name & if they have the song & the 'download' link is useable you can DL it for free.

I'm14 and i'm not crash dieting but i'm trying to tigheten up my tummy for the summer but the thing is i really don't want my breats to shrink what do i do to loose weight while avoiding that?

thanks,
Becky

hmm i don't think there's much you can do about that. if you eat regularly & do ab exercises, your boobs probably won't shrink. here's a website-

http://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercises.htm

i only heard of girls boob's shrinking when they don't eat right. definately not when they juss exercise. also, they could possibly shrink if they do a lot of bench presses for weightlifting, so you should probably juss stick with running & ab stuff.

Hey i was just wonderign if anyone knew a really good video clip editor that i coudl download for free....or one that you could buy for a cheap price.. i want to make a little graduation DVD of peopel and i wanted to have clips and then put in a song for the background (take out any talkign and just have music)and also put maybe a picture or two in the DVD as well. ANY help would be appreciated =)

thanks!!!!

there's a website called www.download.com & you can look for certain programs for free. some are totally free & some work for a 30 day trial, but it doesn't cost anything. i'm not sure what exact features you're looking for so here's a few websites-

http://www.download.com/ViviClip-Pre-Wash-DV-Basic/3000-2194_4-10340865.html?tag=lst-0-1

http://www.download.com/Editstudio/3000-2194_4-10411305.html?tag=lst-0-9

i think the viviclip might be a bit better, but you should probably check out both.

I am wanting to buy a digital camera, but most cameras get bad reviews for the ability to see the screen in bright light. I also read in a review that there were some sort of plastic sheet that you can put over the screen so that you can see it in bright light.
What are they called?
Where can I buy them?

Thanks, much appreciated.

they're called LCD visors. each camera has a different one, because of the sizes of it & stuff. you can buy them probably where you bought your digital camera er you can ask the people working there when you buy it. the people at the store should probably know what you mean. try radioshack er circuit city.

Does anyone know anything about Cal State Long Beach? advice about the campus, dorms, area, people, etc, would be a great help. Thanks =]

idk anything about it but they have a site on it. it's made by the campus itself so it'd be the right information. here's a website-

How do you know when a guy you're just hanging out with one night wants to kiss you? Like, when he wants to, but didn't/won't.

This guy and I were on the couch & he was laying behind me, & we were watching tv. He'd be like, "staring contest, go!" so I'd turn my head & we'd have one & our faces were like an inch away.. ok, well, maybe a little more than that but we were really close. He kept looking at my lips. That doesn't mean anything, right? He looked like he was really tired, lol, it was so cute. I don't know if he likes me or anything, though.

& I get kinda nervous so I suck at making eye contact. And when I do, I'll start laughing. Tips?

all guys are different. you can't really say "oh he likes you" er "oh he wants to kiss you" because we don't know him, plus we probably wouldn't be able to tell. the best thing to do would ask him. yes, you may get a little weirded out er embarrased, but that's the only way you'll find out. you don't want to be shy & miss out. you should make eye contact though. you wouldn't wanna be talking to him & he stares at something else ya know?? juss work on it. you'll eventually get it.

okay i have a cingular phone and i need a website that i can get ringtones without having to get online on my phone to recieve it... i know cingular.com has ringtones but they never fully get to my phone please help me i hate all of the ringtones i have and i need a song ringtone im so bored with my pretones

to get ringtones from the computer to your phone, you can only DL monophonic ringtones which are almost exactly like the ones you have on your cell phone. i have cingular & a txt msging plan, but since i don't have internet, i can't get polyphonic er real tones. there are websites on google that lets you DL them, but they don't work & are basically a scam. you can try looking in the FAQ section on the cingular website. jamster ringtones say that you don't need internet on your phone, but you also have to pay monthly for that ringtone.

ok. i'm 15 years old, 5'4" and 97 pounds. i know this probably sounds like a lot but i really feel unconfortable and i would like to get my weight down to about 89 pounds (thats what i was last summer).. however if my mom notices me not eating then she'll flip so i have to be kind of discreet about it. i also don't want to have to starve myself or anything... i run about 25 miles per week and i don't think i can do much more exrecise though i`ll try if that will make a difference. i'd like to reach my goal my mid-july. thanks :)

i'm sorry but i can't answer your question. it's good you don't want to starve yourself but i would like to give you a tip. if your mom, family member, friend, etc etc. notices how skinny you get, they will probably want you to get help. if you have annorexia er are bulimic, you'll have to go into a hospital & they actually make you gain your average weight you're suppose to be, plus 10 lbs extra. it's okay to be around 110 lbs when you're 5'4, but 89 lbs is almost impossible, especially if you want to be healthy. what you're doing is enough, obviously if you only weigh 97 lbs. really, if you're doing it for yourself, someone else, i don't know, but you can't go any less. you don't want to gain all that weight back by being forced to. sorry i couldn't answer your question, but i've seen people go through it & it juss isn't worth it.

I'm 14 years old and I want to find a summer job. Any suggestions?

since you're 14, you can't really get too many jobs at businesses. you can do this around your neighborhood er help people out. you can wash cars or babysit. i know a few people that coach summer league basketball teams for younger kids, like 8-11. they help out & get paid by practices & games. you might be able to work at a community center. ask around. your town might have a lot of jobs.

ive seen playlists on peoples myspaces, how do u do them??

they're kind've complicated. you need to have songs saved on your computer. you can get them from myspace music er itunes, limewire, etc. whatever program you have. after you save them (it might be easier if it's a certain folder), then you can start. first you need an uploading site. here's a website-

www.bolt.com

make an account there. it's totally free. after that, go back to the home page & you upload the songs you saved from there. after that you need an mp3 player. here's a website-

http://www.chasebadkids.net/mp3player.php

you can use a mp3 player from that site. there's instructions & stuff. that's basically what you do & if you have any questions, i think there's a FAQ question about it on myspace.

i've been wondering this for a while. you know how they say dinosaurs were extinct before people came around, but in the bible doesnt it say that adam & eve were born on one of the 7 days of creation?or was that after? i dunno, im confused lol
thanks

okay i had a CCD class & they said that dinosaurs were definately before people & aren't in the old testament, because well they're before it. they say that God made the world in 7 days, but it isn't 7 days our time. they aren't quite sure but it's actually much longer than that. here's an example. maybe dinosaurs were made on the 5th day while man was made on the 6th. make sense?? it's not actually days as in 24 hours & stuff. it's a lot different in that time period.

Okay does anyone know how to get Smiley Central off my aim?!? It is KILLING me! I tried to delete my aim then redownload, and I also went to add/remove programs and it didn't even shop up there...it is bothering me so much! I asked this question a while ago but I didn't get many responses...so I will rate a 5 for ANY input. PLEASE HELP ME! =D thanks

there's been rumors that smiley central is spyware so this might be why it's giving you problems to get it off. there's a lot of forums with people asking that question on google. i don't have smiley central so i'm not sure which of them are effective. here's a few websites-

i just turned 15, (female obviously) and i haven't got my period yet.. is this normal? and also i hate talking to my mom about things. i just get so embarrased. when i do get my period, idk how to talk to my mom. i like get so nervous thinking about it. i know im gonna feel soo uncomfortable and idk what to doo

it's not really that normal, but not abnormal if that makes sense. i know a few people that didn't get it who were 16 so their mom took them to the gyno & they got a pill for it. definately tell your mom. she probably knows since you don't use pads/tampons though so there's nothing to worry about. she is a girl & went through this too like almost every other girl. she knows you'll talk to her about it sooner er later. she's expecting that since you're a girl.
