Well, I really love helping people with stuff, it makes me feel good, and I am going to school to be a psychologist and fashion designer(kind of, haven't decided). I'm 18 and my favorite movie right now is The Wedding Date, because the lines are really cute. Oh and I think the hottest guy ever is Spike(James Marsters) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he isn't the only hott guy I like but he is on top of the list.
I have a knack for understanding guys and girls I've been told, and thats good because I don't think I would have made it through school if I didn't.
Well hope to hear from you soon, and by the way just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I'm not mature, I may be young but I know about the world. So questions from all ages are welcome.

I'm glad I can let this out and no one will know who I am or bug me about it, but I really need someone to talk to. I've been broken for years upon years, my elementary school life was alright yet I always seemed to be the loner kid who did stupid things to get attention yet was never acknowledged. When I changed schools, it made me sad that the card I had received from my classmates was only made because we do that to everyone who goes away, that the words they said to me were false and untrue. In my new school, the very first day I was tormented and they hit me with carrots at lunch time and beat me up in recess. During lunch time wen i went to the washroom they emptied out my backpacks contents in the schoolyard and burried my pencils and stuff from my pencil case in the sand box. My closest girlfriend, the last one I had and my second was someone I really loved and was happy with yet that relationship ended and destroyed me even more. Though I finally made some friends in high school, the people from my previous school and others still continued to torment me for no reason it drove me insane and alone. this is a summary of my childhood torments and from those experiences i came to the following conclusion...
I envy those who have good friends, whenever I see friends with photos of each other, hanging out with each other and always wanting to be around each other... whenever I see people who have others that will support and protect them... I feel jealous. In all my years I have never had anyone but my loving family I can fully trust, that calls me instead of me bugging them, that wants to be around me and support me, that would stick with me to the end.. a true friend. I am destined to be alone, to have no friends, and to experience no love. There have been other experiences in my life besides what I described that have affected me so.
I have trouble in my studies, I can never fully concentrate until last minute though I seem to do pretty well. There have been many things I have wanted to achieve and changes i'e wanted to make to myself but I have failed to do so and I hate myself for being so careless, irresponsible, and stupid. I acknowledged that there is no personal reason for myself to exist in the world, besides become someone good so my parents can be proud that they did a good job raising me. I love my family they are the best parents to me and gave me more love than I could ever handle. I can never live up to my parents love, the only way I can repay them for loving such a useless thing as myself is through completing my school and becoming what they want me to be. I also live for children, I want to have children and have them live a good life strayed from any problems that I have already faced myself.
THe problem, I recently got into my second car accident, things are going so horrible and expenses are rising. My parents are already paying so much and are struggling, I am forgetting to do chores and because of that I am just being a freeloader. As for my studies, it seems i've been slacking off, yet I find it so hard to concentrate until it's last minute. Though I try to do things it seems I am just a lazy failure. I failed my parents, I failed myself, I am nothing but a burden withot motivation to succeed. the best solution is my own destruction, but I am too weak, so instead I will leave the house and fend for myself, removing the burden from my family of having such a useless son around. I don't deserve them and surely i've been shown that since the life I lived is proof enough my existence is pointless. Why shold I continue this unhappy life where everyday all I do is become hurt. People think I am a happy stupid kid because i'm always so hyper, yet I put on that mask to hide my sorrows. No matter how good I am to people, no matter how sociable, I can never get what I want or be truly happy. I either am disappointed, left alone, or betrayed and used.... why does life suck (link)

You know my sister had the exact same problem and she is doing ok. Anyone who picks on you is a jerk and they are only picking on you so no one sees what is wrong with them, which I think is freakin ridiculous. Life just does suck, i know this is going to be hard to believe but those people who picked on you, well their life sucks too, everyone's life sucks, and no you shouldn't have to deal with it, but in the end these experiences will make you stronger, and maybe someday you can look back on this and use it to help another person with the same problems. And you know what, you seem like an awesome person, don't let anyone tell you different, you've got a friend in me, If you want to actually talk to me my e-mail is on my advice column page thing. Oh and by the way, you will never be a disappointment to your parents, they love for who you are and that doesn't change, ever. Leaving your parents house will only make them worry, losing you will break their hearts, you are their life, their hearts, you're their daughter their pride and joy no matter what.I hope you got something out of this, don't worry things will get better just have faith they will. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

About 2 years ago in the eighth grade, I really liked this guy named "Kenji". On the very last day of school I decided to tell him how I felt, and I did it the most possible way I knew: I asked my friend who was also good friends with him, to tell him. To my surpise, he also felt the same way. And so, during the summer I was waiting in anticipation to see him again, and when freshmen year rolled around, it seemed as if he had forgotten completely. He never talked to me; I never heard from him. And so I decided to do something, to give him a friendly note. Much to my shock, he hadn't a clue who I was. That just completely shut me down, and it took me an entire year plus another summer to get over him. And just now, to add to the confusion, my friend says that when she had talked to him, he said that he had liked me too and still likes me, when I thought he was just ignoring me that whole time. I knew that I was completely, utterly and offically over him, but after hearing that,some of those feelings came rushing back. I'm so confused, but at the same time irritated because I had only found out now. I don't know if I should still consider being with him, or just move on completely.....
i am 15/f. (link)

Well I guess its possible he got you confused with someone else at first, but he really does like you. But you gotta talk to him yourself, don't make your friends do it, that always confuses everything. Oh nad please don't let yourself worry so much over guy, a year or more is way too much to spend heartbroken over a guy, yes guys are hot and can be really cute, but not worth that much time of misery, because I guarantee most guys don't mourne over girls the same way, mind I said most guys don't that don't mean that all guys don't care. I say give it a shot see where it goes, if its not what you need or wan then you make your decision. Be happy, and good luck.

14/f so i've been with my boyfriend for half a year.. and umm we made out a little i guess... so we were lying on my bed...watching tv and whatnot. his hand was on my pants playing with the belt hoops and suddenly he put his hand down my pants slightly...then he went farther and i kinda jumped...and told him no so he was okay with it...soo its a couple of days later..and i'm hanging out with him... he has his arms around me from behind and then his hands drop around my stomach and lower..then he puts his hands on my legs and he moves his hands... brushing up against /there/ and then he suddenly moves his hands to my stomach again...then few minutes later he puts his hands against THERE again...and i kinda got stiff...and i told him not to do it again.. i dunno.... so im just confused. in my mind i wouldn't mind if he did it but my parents said that im too young to do anything below the neck so.. yea and thats stuck in my head so i'm just stuck in middle of wondering what to do.. so..
the next time he does that..what do I do? break up with him or seriously tell him 'NO'. yeah..
lately hes getting a little weird..or horny i guess? cuz when we hang out...he's always behind me pushing my ass into him and whatnot... or like..he pushed me up into a table and talked to people while he was between me..then he would come closer and kiss me while leaning over the table a little too much.. almost like the missionary position. yeahhhh. i dunno. i'm just..blah right now. i don't want to have sex because that ruins a relationship...if you dont get enough or if you do it too much. gah. i dunno! (link)
| |
Holy crackers, he is way too horny to be so young. I'm sorry but 14 is way to young to have sex, did you know more than half of women regret having sex to young, thats something to think about. Only have sex after you're married or when you are seriously in love. Next time he does that, you seriously need to tell him NO, if he breaks up with you because of that then he is a total jerk. Not to sound cliche here, but anything worth it is worth waiting for. Ultimately its all your decision, but I hope you make the best one for you, not him. Good luck and best wishes.

They probably don't want you talking to him because you met him online. People online can be super creepy. Has he sent you a picture, do you even know if its really him, he could be a 45 year old molester, who knows, and that would be why your parents freaked out. By the way lying so doesn't help your situation, and you wouldn't have lied if you thought it wasn't wrong. On some level you knew they would be upset and that is why you lied. However if the guy is ok, and you positively know who he is then I don't see why it is a big deal, its not a big age gap or anything. If you want them to understand, you will have to sit down and talk to them and tell them what you think and feel, that he is not a creep and the age isn't that big of a deal, only 3 years. Well good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

I'm a freshman this year (14/m) and I want to meet a few seniors... I know how to meet the girls but its meeting the older dudes that I have trouble with... My question: How can I meet a senior that intimidates me? (link)
| |
You want an older guy that intimidates you? Thats kinda weird, but ok. I suggest getting into sports, that gets you in with thenolder guys especially if you do well and can get a level or two a head of your grade. Making friends with the girls gets you into the group with guys too though, getting the older girls to take you to parties lets you mingle with the guys and gets them to notice you. Best of luck.

to all the girls out there..my hair is puffy and wavy naturally. and when i try to scrunch it, it always ends up looking bad(either too flat or to puffy). anybody out there have any ideas on how to scrunch it right?? thanx. (link)
| |
I would say, scrunch it while its still damp with a good gel, then let it either dry by its self or blow dry it on low heat. That usually works for me and I kind of have the same hair.
|
|
does anybody here know and special tricks on how to apply make up that looks natural/good? like how to put on bronzer so it looks natural or mascara?? thanx (link)
|
Mostly just try to pick colors that go with your skin tone, and underlying skin tones, for example I have a pale skintone and pink underlying tone. So I use mauves, browns, pinks, and neutrals. If you don't know what colors you are then just go with neutrals, browns, tans, gray, and some whites. Mascara use black or brown. To apply just do as normal, but use only brushes, no sponge applicators. Bronzer, just brush on lightly, on cheekbones, little on chin and nose very light on those places, and some on your chest for a glow.
Also for the natural look, try to use mineral make-up like Bare Minerals, those are really good cosmetics, they don't clog pores. Hope I helped

Do any other girls have a list of qualities that they want in a potential boyfriend? I have a list of about 20 things that I want a guy to have before I date him.
For example, he must be a non-smoker, have a good job, live on his own, be neat in appearance, have a vehicle, and no children from a previous relationship. These are just some of the things. I had one guy ask me out but because he lived with his mother and smoked I turned him down. Another guy asked me out and he had a 5 year old daughter, so I turned him down to. Some people say I being too picky, well I tell them I just have high standards.
Part of the reason for this is because my last boyfriend was a total loser. He was on welfare, he didnt have a car or a license, he was dirty, he smoked, and was financially and mentally abusive to me.
Do any other woman have high standards? And do you think I'm being too picky? Also do you think I'm scared of being hurt again so that is why I strive so high, and subconsiously I'm doing this so I won't have a boyfriend again? (link)
| |
Not to cause a riot here, but I completely disagree with your standards. I can understand not wanting to date someone because of something, like being dirty and abusive, those are good reasons. Having a kid from another relationship isn't that bad, what the guy was married and his wife was a total jerk and left him with the kid, you could be missing out on the perfect guy. Its just that certain things can be worked thorugh, like getting a job, or getting a car, or stop smoking. Its true high standards will get you into a great relationshio with the perfect guy, but will you love him, will he be too perfect. I think you should at least give guys a chance, at least one date to figure them out, see if he's worth it or not. And yeah you could be doing that to not get hurt again, thats natural everyone does that, but you know hurting is part of love, you have to get throught the hurts to get to the bliss. You don't have to listen to me, but just think about it, good luck I hope you find the right guy.

I'm really getting freaked out.About every 3-4 weeks,i get a horrible dream,it is so real.I think it really can affect me.I feel it,i can feel the pain when i get hurt.I have had two ones that really affteced me.the first one i already asked here.but the second one,is far beyond bizzare.
I was wakeing up constantly,but when i finally had this dream,i was wakeing up,and watching some tv.It was in black and white,and some purple,faded. also some blue.I sat up,and my brother adam was at the counter drinking something.I heard my mom comeing down the stairs saying "I think there is a ghost in the house.." and there was this huge flash covering my whole kitchen,i saw adam jump back and i said "Noooo!!" and felt like i was pushed in to the light,my heart dropped as though there was a big drop in a roller coaster.Next thing i now,i was in the upstairs of a carpetted house, a girls house,(looked like a girl a know...but i could feel it wasn't)and she was sleeping,i saw her wake up and go into her moms room,i saw her room,the bathroom,and her going in her moms rooms and talking,i couldnt hear.i was in the light again.i woke up breathing heavily (as i did in the other dream) And in the morning i had a bruise of what looked like a finger on my back.how could that happen? and that is exactly where the push was on my back.I think ghosts are trying to contact to me or something..but it really scares me.Any ideas of what this dream means? (link)

DO you have dejavu alot? I have dreams like that too sometimes, yeah its weird, I don't know what it means. I am chrsitian and I just don't know what to do, everyone tell me I am getting into evil things, but I haven't done anything, i just think I could have premonitiotns or something. I suggest you pray or meditate about it. And you said you have had this dream how many times before. And the other dream what was it and how did you get it to go away? If you want you can e-mail me, I want to talk to you more about this. just try to think good thoughts before you go to bed.

Well Allison it sounds like you never ever got over your ex, but he did get over you. You might wanna look at what you are getting into. You love two guys, but which do you love more. Your current boyfriend should know how you feel about your ex, its just not fair to him if you know you still love your ex, because then you aren't devoting yourself to him. Also I think you should check why your ex is flirting with you, is he still in love with you or is he just lonely at the moment, don't get me wrong he could totally still be in love with you, but make sure, you don't want to jeapordize what you have now for something that won't last. Good luck and best wishes.

My boyfriend is cheating on me and he is totally affensive about the whole thing i woult like to know how could you break the love of your life heart with out breaking yours thanks holla atb me (link)
| |
I really don't think you should be worrying about breaking his heart, he already broke yours. And i don't think you can get out of this relationship without hurting your own heart a little, love is just like that, its going to hurt when its over.

I want to make tiny mini-mums for my friends..but I don't want to spend alot of money. Can someone show me how to make one? (link)

Um I think i could I used to work at a florist and I know how but I think it is kind of complicated , hard to explain without visual aid. if you want, you can e-mail me, my address is on my column. it might be easier if I can put something together and e-mail it to you.

Does anybody recognize any of these movies?
In the first movie, there is this mansion and this blind girl lives there...and her family too I think...and theres a hunchback or some weird creepy thing living down in their basement...I remember he ate a cat...and then he got out of the basement...when he was walking around the house he ran into the blind girl but she didnt recognize him as anything strange because she was blind...thats all I remember! I saw this movie when I was like 7-8 (I'm 16 now) so its probably old.
The next movie there was this group of people on a boat...and like the boat had seamonsters in it...it would like eat the people and then throw them back up all bloody...or at least it did that to this one girl...and uhm I dont remember much of this movie but I'm pretty sure at the end they sink the boat and are like "I'm free I'm free!" but then they wind up on an island filled with them...yeah. I seen this one around 7-8 also so its probably old.
If anybody has seen these movies or one could you please leave the title! Because I really want to see them. Thank you so much if you have the answer!! (link)
| |
I think the second one sounds like mercury rising or something, if you can tell me a little more I might be able to tell you more. They both sound really familiar. Is the boat like a Cruise ship?

ok boys wear garters at homecoming like around their arms...right? but do boys have the flower on theirs like the mum does or is it just a band with lots of ribbon and stuff??? (link)
| |
You are from texas right? Yeah guys wear the garter on their arms, and they wear ribbon, adn bells and stuff not just band members. They wear them, they are just a little more masculine than the girls ones. And yeah they do wear the flower ones. Hope I helped.

I wrote before about how my mom was sick and that i wasnt sure what was wrong with my mom( http://advicenators.com/qview.php?q=383493 ) Anyways, Now I do. I'm not realy in the mood to write this all out but here this will help alot. Today i decided to start up writing a journal again but this time on the computer since I can type realy fast just save it to a founder with that days date. Well anyways heres waht i wrote today (take in mind taht I started the journal thing today and the ---- means informatino i cant give out lol...
10-22-05- Saturday
Dear Journal,
I decided to start to write a journal. I used to when I was 9 or 10 or something like that but I never found it as a necessary as a teenager. Since I haven’t written in so long I guess I should start with the basics. I am 13 years old.I live at --------,Ohio. My home phone number is now ------. I’ve been living in -------- for about 10 years. I have a dog named Scotch and a Cat Named Magic. Ashley (my twin) is of course 13. Katie is 12 and Jenny is 23. Jenny is married to Brad and they have two Children; Alec who is 5 and Addison who is 3. I am in the 8th grade also and I go to East Palestine Middle School. My favorite color is pink. I am a East Palestine 8th grade Cheerleader. I was one last year too. I have a awesome boyfriend who I am sure that I am in love with. His name is Kevin Scott Ludwig. He’s 15 ½. He so handsome. He has blue eyes that I get lost in and has a laugh that can make anyone’s day. I have brown eyes and brown hair. My fears are really hard to explain so its easier to say that my fear that always haunts me has pretty much became reality.
My mom went to the doctors Last weekend for a yearly checkup, no big deal right? Well they drew blood work and such and she’s been waiting for results. Always, Thursday Addison and my mom went to school with me till after 4th period cause it was bring family to school day okay? Well when she got home she got a message from our doctor saying that they got the results from the blood work and to come in right away. So she called my dad and told him and he came home and them and Addison went to the doctors. Well, It turns out my mom has a disease. This is my worst fear / nightmare. Though I’m not really sure what the name of it is but its bad. Her bloods thick and it doesn’t have much oxygen and tons of carbon. She has to stop smoking. Also she is supposed to donate a quart (yes a whole quart) of blood every 4 months. She can have a heart attack and die any second. Its really scary and I cry if I think too much about it but the girls (my two sisters) are kind of acting like its nothing. Something tells me between the next couple months if it stays the same or gets worse my mom will go into a mild depression (that’s my opinion) just because she is already not doing well. She hasn’t been sleeping either. Like when my mom gets mad at my dad and goes to bed angry she will yell like once in her sleep at him ( its kind of funny). Anyways, she hasn’t been sleeping and when she is crying in her sleep and yelling and talking and a lot of other things. She is talking likes she going to die. She is scared for her life and she is terrified she is going to die. I don’t know what to do. I am lost confused and just out of it at some points.
Well I find myself that I cant write anymore.. I’m talking to my boyfriend and I really don’t want to cry right now and I feel the tears coming so I’ll leave it for today…
--Love--
Meg
Dear Journal,
Hey its me again! Well I wanted to fill you in on well more stuff. My dad was talking to my sisters and I about my mom. He was telling us some strange ways she’s been acting and how its extremely hard for her to give up smoking and she has to now because she will die if she doesn’t. Anyways, besides that miserable and unwanted news I found out some new stuff. Not only does my mom has a disease but something major is causing the disease . All the symptoms are saying it’s a brain aneurysm which as you know is not good at all. This is why my mom is scared for her life. She getting a appointment and will go to the hospital probably sometime next week to get a cat scan to see if that’s what it is. Wow you wouldn’t think this could get any worse huh? Between the disease and the brain aneurysm and the fact that my mom is just going wacky right now right? Well wrong. My dad last year went to the doctors and they said he might have a heart problem. So my dad was horrified and so was my mother. They had to take him to a heart specialist and the heart specialist said there was nothing wrong. Well wrong again! Due to what is going on with my mom and such my mom talked my dad into scheduling a appointment with the doctor to have a full physical. Well again they think something is wrong with his heart. He’s nervous but he’s not really one of those touchy feely guys . I’m not sure what to do. I cant control anything anymore I understand that I have to learn to treat both my mother and my father better because if something does happen .. I couldn’t survive knowing I treated them like crap. I don’t really know what to do right now. I really like the idea of writing in here though.. It helps me cop with what’s going on. Well I better go I have decided that I’m going to put today’s entry’s on this awesome website called advisonators.com so that I can have people help me out or help me cope with this really harsh situation.
-Sincerely-
Megan

All I'm gonna say is GO YOU!! You have the courage to talk to people and ask for help, that's great. You know just be with them, let them know you love them. Your parents are expected to be angry, they have so much going on, and I'm sorry all this is happening to you, but you are handling it well. I hope everything is alright and your parents are perfectly fine.

hey my name is may and i am in deep need of some advice. i have "backne" and i need to get rid of it by January.. i am going to be in this pagent for my school and i am going to be wearing a strapless dress. i have tried a bunch of over the counter things but they dont help! Does anyone now of any home remedies to get rid of it? if you do please reply... i would greatly apprecitate it! thanks (link)
| |
Actually changing your bed sheets more often helps the amount of backne and how often you get it. Also you can use a bath backscrubber, it takes away the dead skin and dirt that clogs the pores. I would also recommend this new clearasil thing that dries up the pimple. This works for me but I dont know about everybody esle though, but chlorine seems to helps, like swimming in a chlorinated pool. Hope this helped.

hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me...i have alittle cellulite on the back of my thieghs and i was wondering what would be the best type of excersising I could do to get ride of it before it starts to get worse? please help i dont want that nasty stuff on my legs!
~cellulite sally~ :-( (link)

I've got one, you know those big exercise balls, get one of those. Lay your pelvic area on the ball and put your arms on the floor so that legs are on the floor to, lift your legs up from the floor, that lets your butt get good exercise. Also there is one where you bend over and hold onto a chair or something, and lift one leg at a time so its horizontal, those are good glut exercises too. Good luck Cellulite Sally

I am 17/M. I have a girlfriend that I have almost dated for 4 months. We had a great realtionship to start out with. Once school began though I start to drift away from her. I am very active in school and after school. She is in love with me but I am not.(I told her I didn't after lying about it for awhile) She calls and I am not really inclined to call her back or even talk to her when she does call. It is like a chore for me. I wuldn't mind spending time with her but only if it was for awhile not some BS 15 mins. When we are together I feel really close and begin to like her a lot. Then after like 2 weeks I just dont care anymore. She is really serious in this relationship and I am not so much. I don't know what to do. I just want some direction or arrow telling me what I need to do. Plz give me that DIRECTION! (link)

Have you ever thought that maybe you are just afraid to commit? that could be the problem you aren't ready to give up the single life just yet. If you don't think you can commit to be with her as her boyfriend for at least a while than I would say you need to end it, for her sake because you would just be leading her on. If you think you can be with her and like it then I would stay with her and see what happens, it could be a very good relationship. But in the end its really all about you, what you feel and whats best for you, I can't tell you what to do, go with your heart. best of luck, hope this helped.
