Ooh...Okay, so what I'm getting is that the girl who was murdered comes to the girl in modern times as a ghost and tells her she was murdered. Kind of. Am I close?
If you want a BIG twist, it could be that The girl who discovered the murder actually did it in another life, and that's why the ghost came to her.
Either that, or the ghost could've made a setup and kills the girl...but that's kind of a morbid ending.
Either those, or the girl figures everything out and catches the murderer, with the help of the police or something. That's a classic "yay, everything went well and is fixed!" ending.
If you want a more "whoa, that was unexpected..." ending, go with one of the other two...lol.
Have fun! If you want help editing, talk to me.

I write a lot. Editing's one of the things I do best. ^_^

I have no idea. You may have eaten too fast, or not had enough liquid...try drinking with meals if you don't...
-Siren

Wow.
13?! Now I know why those x-ray technicians always used to ask me if I was pregnant when I was, like, 13...
Anyway. She is WAY too young to sleep with a guy. He should know that, and shouldn't be pressuring her. Don't talk to your friend...talk to the GUY! Tell him he's being an ass for pressuring your friend to sleep with him, when he should KNOW she's too young. Hell, HE'S too young! Do they know the kinds of risks they'd be taking? Sex is one bigass risk that I, for one, don't think either of them are ready to take on.
Good luck with that!

There are more at that website. You can even search by first letter! It's cool. ^_^
-Siren =)

That would be cool if you could, like, jump into things...literally. Unfortunately for us, there is no physical way to do so. Lol.
-Siren =P

Hey, I'm 16 and I know a lot about life and love. In fact, those are my favorite two things to give people advice on. That's great that you found someone you love so much. Keep her. If you want to leave, take her with you, if she's willing to go.
I totally understand your wanting to leave. My dream is to just go to California or somewhere warm, sing opera, and live with my boyfriend. We're kind of half planning this.
Your dream isn't so different. Though I do think you should finish school and everything. At least high school. Then, when you're done, leave. Get out of there and do what you want, if you can. If it feels right, roll with it!
That's what I do, and it's worked pretty well so far. =)
Good luck in life and love!

Making out involves no sex. Making out that leads to sex is called "foreplay". Making out isn't just snogging (french kissing, guys), and the kissing involved doesn't even have to involve tongue. It's basically like cuddling, but with a little more...activity in the kissing department, and use of the hands. Making out really comes naturally. There's no how-to, or description, really. ^_^
Hope I helped!
-Siren

It really depends on the size. If your guy's big, it's probably gonna hurt a lot. I had that problem. Not fun. But when it stops hurting (for me, it was after the second and a half time. Lol. Hurt a bit in the beginning of the third) it feels good. It's hard to describe, really. Hope this helped!
-Siren

Well, using tampons does help stretch you out a little bit. But just not during sex...Lol.
I didn't start using tampons until after the first time, so I don't really know what effect it has.
Well, it hurt a LOT for me my first time. The main problem was that - er, he's big. I'm kinda not. That's a BAD mix. Lol. But once it stops hurting, it feels pretty good. You have to be really comfortable with your guy, though, or it'll be really awkward.
My advice: Firstly, don't let him push you into anything you're not ready for. If you're ready, and it feels right, go for it, but make sure he has a condom on...Lol. Tell him to be gentle. Try to stay relaxed if it hurts. It lessens the pain a little. That was the best advice my friend gave me. It helped a bit.
Good luck!
-Siren

Heh
I have that problem...my friends joke that I could eat a cake and lose five pounds. Um...Eating more probably won't do it. Sounds like you have a fast metabolism. I don't know if you can put on much more weight while still being healthy. The only healthy weight you could add, I think, is muscle mass. That's what I did, but it wasn't intentional...I just kind of ended up with muscle. 'Cause muscle weighs more than fat. =) Good luck beefing up, lol!
-Siren =)

let's just talk on e-mail/IM.
-Siren =)

Wow. That's WAY too young. I have a friend who had a baby at 16, and says she regrets it so much.
Does she have any idea how much care and energy a baby takes? The baby wakes up at 4am, crying. Mom has to go figure out what's wrong, and stay with the baby until it stops crying. Then she has to get up in two hours to go to school.
Now, I'm a major insomniac and even I couldn't handle that.
Keep telling her how hard it would be to care for a baby. Also remind her that any guy she would be with probably wouldn't be ready to be a father at eighteen, or even at 20. Would she really want to force that kind of responsibility onto someone who probably isn't ready for it?
She's gotta get some sense about this. She probably wouldn't be physically ready either. Young/teen pregnancy/labor I hear can be really painful and dangerous.
-Siren

Ouch.
I feel your pain. Confront your teacher about it. After class, ask if you can talk to him, and say "I feel like you're kind of picking on me a little bit, and it's bothering me. I don't appreciate the way I'm laughed at when I answer the questions I'm asked wrong," or something like that. Try not to use an accusatory tone of voice, and make sure it doesn't sound like "You're picking on me. I don't like it when you laugh at me." because that, for one, sounds childish and accusatory. It will get you nowhere. Trust me, I've made the same mistake.
So yeah. Talk to your teacher about your problem with him. If it doesn't change after the talk, discuss it with a counselor. They can usually help.
Good luck!
-Siren =)
Never, ever let anyone get you down. You're better than them. That's why they try to bring you down. Just remember that. =)

Talk to them. Tell them what's bothering you. They might not even realize that what they're doing is hurting you. It's happened to me, and it's all because they didn't realize they were excluding me. Miscommunication is a major problem with everyone. You just have to tell people what you're thinking! It helps a LOT. I hope THIS helps!
-Siren

Well, how young is she talking about? 19? 20? Any younger than that isn't good. A kid takes a lot of time and patience, not to mention money. Any younger than 25 or so, and the kid gets in the way of homework, work, paying for things...A kid is a lot of trouble to deal with for anyone too young. Give her some of that, and try to change her mind with some "the economy sucks. Do you really want to be raising a kid while we'd be struggling to pay for everything?" stuff and she should reconsider. Good luck!
-Siren

A friend of mine once said
"A man is never worth a woman's tears, and when you find the right one, he won't make you cry."
Think about it. This guy has treated you like absolute shit. He appears to be a complete and utter asshole. Has he ever done anything nice for you? From the way you talk, doesn't sound like it.
Honey, you gotta find yourself a new guy.
I mean, I dated a creep for 2 months. He cheated on me, was condescending as all hell, and was a terrible kisser to boot. Then a year and 5 months later, I met the guy of my dreams...we're still together. Lol.
You gotta get rid of the creeps to find the good guys. So keep looking; don't focus on this one guy! You'll find one that really deserves you. Good luck!

Lung cancer. The carcinogens (cancer-causing stuff) in one joint is equal to the amount of carcinogens in 22 cigarettes. At least that's what I read somewhere.
-Siren

Heh. My boyfriend and I met in math class (the only class we had together), and we've been together for over 7 months.
So, yes, try again.
My guy wasn't looking either, so ignore that fact.
Talk to him. Get his number/screen name. Just talk as much as you can and the relationship may blossom...^_^
(That's what I did, and it worked for me!)
Good luck!
-Siren

Well, it's different for everyone, but I knew I was in love when I realized that I couldn't visualize myself dating anyone else. I looked back at old diary entries and almost didn't want to see the ones where I wasn't with my guy.
You just kind of...know you're in love. You can feel it.
I mean, I still get butterflies in my stomach every time I pass him in the halls. He's always on my mind.
Real love, I think, is when you find the guy you're gonna be with forever.
That's just my opinion, though. You'll know when you're in love. ^_^
-Siren =)

It's good that you believe in the "if you really love something, let it go" thing. I agree, actually. Or, I used to. I intend to keep my guy, though, because (much like your situation), he's the only guy that has lasted this long and also hasn't screwed me over.
You probably feel guilty because you're not really sure you want to let him go. I think some part of your subconscious is afraid he won't come back. Though it sounds to me like he would. I don't think it would be completely insensitive of you to break up with him, as long as you BOTH believe that high school is for experiences. But since you do, there should be no problem. The most humane way to break up with someone is in person. Never, ever over IM. Some stupid guy did that to me and I still think he's an insensitive prick. (this is two years later. Lol)
Good luck in life and love!

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.

I've been a member since 2004, and since I signed up, I've gone through quite a lot and learned quite a lot from it. I'm here to give guidance where I had none; no one should have to go through the difficulties I went through alone.

Feel free to visit my website/blog, if you want to read my experience with domestic violence and my thoughts on it.

If you need to get a hold of me quickly, my screen name on AIM is SirenCytherea. Just let me know you found me here.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that there are no stupid questions except the ones left unasked, so, please, keep an open mind, heart, and mouth.
