Q: Well Christmas is coming up, and my mom would like a Christmas list from me.
However, I can not think of anything to put on there.
I'm interested in many things.. techno stuff, music, fashion, photography, celebrities, jewlery, mysteries, sports...a wide range of things.
What's hot for this season?
Anything you suggest?

Be honest, tell her you can't think of anything and you would appreciate a surprise.

You're 13 and you've never had a bf? That's not bad, that isn't horrible - its completely normal.
What, you're supposed have a bf for 5 years by now?!
First, if you're thinking your ugly - then that self esteem and confidence isn't there. Work on that, do the things you like and wear the clothes you feel comfortable with - eventually people take notice.

Q: 15/F
I am a grade ten and I am required to take 'Planning 10' this year. It is a mandatory CAPP (career and personal planning) class. I was going to hand in an assignment today (on time) but asked the teacher if I could borrow her holepuncher (so I could put it in the required folder) but she said she didn't have one. She also said that I would lose 50% on the assignment automatically.
Hole punching was not part of the criteria so I feel like I should not lose so many marks. On my last assignment the whole class got 90-100% but I got 54%. I am a straight A student and try exceptionally hard on my work yet she gives me terrible marks for no reason. I even do assignments when I feel like they invade my privacy.
I have had enough. Am I overreacting? Who can I speak to about this other than her? She doesn't have a whole lot of common sense and I do not feel comfortable talking to someone so unfair.
Thanks so much

Write down and document the seperate occurences - then goto the guidance counsoler or prinicple with your concerns.
You are not overreacting, your history states that you are a good student and you need to the wheels in motion to take care of this.

Q: Does anyone know the cut off date to send a Christmas package to a United States soldier?
I know every year they tell you the deadline on the news. I believe last year's deadline was November 30th. Well, I have been watching the news religiously, and I have yet to hear anything about the cut off date. I figure a package will be better late than never, but does anyone have a clue?
Since I'm asking this, does anyone have any ideas off of the top of their head as to what I should send? I am an 18 year old, white, female. He is a 20 year old, white, male. We dated for about 6 months; I was 13, he was 16, and it came to a mutual ending with friendship ever since.
Any and all input would be fantastic! :)

Depends on where he is stationed:

As for gifts ideas, you know him better than I do - but those stationed generally like:
Photos, letters from home
Food!
Flavored water
Comics, magazines

Q: 16/female.
Let me just start out by saying that I am a STRONG believer of gay marriage, and I have absolutely NO problem with homosexuals in the slightest.
One of my friends is a lesbian, and I love her because she's amazing, she really is. But, lately she's been really touchy feely. She writes me notes saying, "I know you're in denial, I know you're conservative & straight, but you should atleast experiment & give it a try." I AM straight, I was born it, so I can't just change and be a lesbian, that's what I think & feel. I'm not attracted to her at all.
She'll like come up to me in the halls at school, and hug me and kiss my neck and shove me up against a locker, and it seriously is beginning to look like I'm a lesbian.
When she does this, I just say, "Nooo! STOP IT" Like, I don't know if she takes it seriously or not, but when I say stop she does. So, today on AIM, we were talking, and this was our conversation:
Her: I'm going to look hot tomorrow in school.
Me: Ahah, Whyy??
Her: I got new clothes.
Her: Kiss me?
Her: :)
Me: Ahh, that's nice! :)
Me: lol, No thanks.
Her: No thanks, what the fuck?
Her: Why did you say that?
Me: To the whole "kiss me" thing.
Her: Whatever.
Me: HEY! don't!!
Her: Don't what?
Me: Be mean. :(
Her: You did this yourself.
Her: It's your fault.
* BLOCKS ME *
Ahhh, so. I just would like to know if this is any of my fault at all. I'm not LEADING her on, I wouldn't even know how to do that. I'm dating a guy & I'm really attracted to him & she knows that. But she'll always say that I need to experiment with her & stuff, and it's just really weird for me.
Thanks in advance. :]

When she does get physical with you, place your hand on her should/chest and say No. Say it very distinctly, deeply - like you would discipline a child.
Online, when she does that - you're reply comes of like your making fun of her, once again state something along the lines of 'You need to stop this type of talk with me' and change the subject. If she brings it up again, block her for a little bit or leave the computer.
Next, you need to talk to her. She may be thinking you're easy game since you her friend. Let her know while her friendship is welcome, these advances are not. Let her know that you would like to continue a friendship with her and nothing further.
If she does not respect your enough to stop this behavior, limit your contact with her.

Q: I'm looking for a new cell phone and was thinking about getting the LG Chocolate phone. I've read mixed reviews about it, so I'm still undecided. If you own this phone, how do you like it? Would you reccomend it? I've heard that the touch sensitive buttons are difficult to use, is this true?

Yes, its true. Its a beautiful phone but I would strongly suggest something else.

Q: Hi. :]
So, recently my mom told me I couldn't see my boyfriend anymore because of problems won't go into great detail. But, we have a pretty large age gap, so much that it is ILLEGAL for us to have sex. My sister called him & told him he couldn't see me anymore because of the whole situation that happened, and told him if he did - she'd call the cops.
My mother & sister don't know I'm seeing my boyfriend.. still. My dad is completely on my side because he really likes my boyfriend a lot and thinks we should see each other, so when me and my boyfriend go out, my dad pretends that I'm at my friends houses, he drops me off and he talks to their parents. So, my mom REALLY believes it, she doesn't even suspect it.
My boyfriend HATES us hanging out without my mom knowing, so he told me he doesn't wanna do it behind her back anymore. It hurts because there's no other way I could see him. :(
Is it wrong for me to be completely mad at him? I mean my dad is doing this for both of us, and it makes me feel really good.. and now my boyfriends not taking advantage of that!
Please help, thank you..

Its illegal for a reason - not only should your bf be nervous - but your Dad too. He's liable for your actions.
Take a step back and trust your bf - he doesn't want to hangout without your mom knowing, accept it. More the relationship status to a friendship until your lega.

Q: Now the at&t high-speed internet is about 14.95 a month.
I wanna know is that for the fist couple of months or thorughout the year? after the 14.95 do you have to start paying 29.95 a month again?
& is this ionternet the dsl one where its superfast & you can talk on the phone while you`re on it?
Thank you.

I believe the contract is for a year. The first six months are at the lower rate - and the last six months are at the higher rate.
Its faster the dial-up, so you can watch movies, download and listen to music a lot better.
And yes, you can go online and still talk on the phone. Get it, its worth it!

Q: i really want to lose weight. but i'm lazy and won't do anything. any advice on foods to eat, HOW TO ABSTAIN FROM EATING ICE CREAM, OTHER FATTY FOODS, ETC. and exercises to do that aren't strenuous and you don't have to go anywhere to do them? i'd go for walks but it's cold outside.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're lazy and won't do anything? First step: Change your attitude. Say you're active and you'll try anything.
Don't obstain from your favorite foods - you'll never stay away. Instead focus on portion control.
As for excersie, inside the house you can run in place, jump rope or anything that requires movment (hm, vacuum?)

Q: im 14 and never had boyfriend. most of my friends have. am I just a loser? I dont mind it much im happy and everything but usually when people find out their just like "OMG YOU NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND?!" and it just makes me feel pretty dumb. i like this one boy but I know I dont have a chance with him because im not exactly pretty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So you've been living life 14 years without a boyfriend? What, you're supposed to be dating since you were - ten?!
Good for you, stay single.
You are not a loser. You are not the only 14 year old out there without a boyfriend.
Usually, my rebuttal to that is something along the lines that boyfriends take too much time and you love living the single life.
As for prettiness and confidence with boys, take it one day at a time. When you do things you like and you're good at - you shine. People always notice that and eventually someone will ask you out.

While I'm glad that you are using procautions like birth control and condoms - they are not always preventive towards pregancy or STDs.
Until your are physically, emotionally and finanically able to take care of a baby or understand which STDs are availible, I would hold off.
No, 15 is not an young age and that fact that you are taking precautions shows that your are being responsible.

Q: i heard that if you shave your underarms and use deodorant, you have a better chance of getting breast cancer. i was concerned about this & studys that have been done said that this might be true. how would you even get around either of those?? if you're a girl, you need to shave there and obviously use deodorant. any ideas??
thanks!!

False, more than likely made up by someone who doesn't want to shave or use deodarant.

Q: I am 13 years old. I am in grade 8 and life is getting somplicated. Almost all my friends are guys and now the most popular girl in school say I flirt a lot with all the guys. She spread a nickname for me called "Boy Toy" and now I cant talk to a guy without anyone making a big deal about it. One of my most trustworthy friends is a guy and ill admit I kind of like him now but its just too weird. But now shes got even my best friend believing I flirt with him all the time and hes starting to avoid me some more. What I mean is usually when we see eachother he gives me a giant smile and stuff and stops and talks to me. Now he like looks away. I dont know what to do. Its not like im a huge flirt (I think) Ive never even truely gone out with a guy. What should I do?

People are jealous of you. You can talk to guys and not get shy or tongue tied.
You can either ignore that taunts and talk to your friends about what's really going on. But also, defend yourself. When someone is calling you that, tell them to stop it. Inform them that the only reason someone started that rumor is that they can't handle a normal conversation with someone of the opposite sex.
As for the guy, give him room to breath. Say hi and walk on by. Eventually, this will calm down and people will more on to something else.

More than likely, someone else caught his interested - but if that doesn't work out, he wants to keep this relationship open and come back to you.

He's been wanting to 'mess' at you? If that's not a red flag, then go ahead and do a booty call for a few weeks.
However, your bff prolly broke up for a good reason, and its never good to become involved with a friend's ex - so stay away.

Q: so this guy crashed my bat mitzvah and he thinks i wanted him there (thats why he came). We dated about 8 months ago. He told me multiple times throughout the past month that he really likes me, but he leaves my bff comments on her myspace telling her thats shes pretty, smart, blah, blah, blah. My bat mitzvah was last weekend and he showed up and it was a black tie affair and stuff. Security took him out and he when he got home he started posting myspace bulletins about me saying i was a whore and stuff like that. he says that if anyone owes an apology, i owe him one for the security. About 5 hours before my bat mitzvah service (before the party) he promised me that he wouldnt crash it. As you can see, he lied. Its been about a week since it happened but im still mad at him for what he did. Hes always trying to talk to me or kiss me to "try and make up for what he did wrong." What should I do? at school we all have advisors (theyre actually teachers but theyre assigned to four students and we all meet every week). i told my advisor about the incident and she is not only my advisor, she's HIS teacher. the school knows about what happened and everything and theyve talked to him. He still doesnt think he did anything wrong and he wants me to have a relationship with him... I like someone else, but hes insisted that i Cant like the someone else. hes a freshman in high school and im in 8th grade. were both 14, but im older than him. my myspace is www.myspace.com/party so if u could help me out either there or on advicenators, that would be amazing ♥ and do you think i should forgive him?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Honestly, I would do a bulletin/blog post about his - just copy and paste what he wrote and dispute it with what really happened.
Those who are your friends, would know enough to back you up.

Q: Hi. :]
I'm a highschool junior, so I'm 16 years old.
I recently went to a "college night" at my highschool & there were like over 100 colleges there. Me & my mom have been looking at the brochures, and she INSISTS I go to a college. Like a live-at-home gain your credit hours, and not live in a dorm. My parents literally have NO money, my dads paychecks go to all the bills and then part of my moms pay checks go to some bills and the rest goes to groceries & living.
I have one brother and two sisters, and they've all gone to a four-year college, lived in a dorm, and had a college life.
I know that they won't have enough money to send me to like University of AUSTIN & stuff, even though it'd be really nice to go there, (tutition is seriously expensive, even if you live in Texas.) I hate thinking that I'm going to have to go to a 2 year college and travel from school to my parents house ALL THE TIME. But, it just feels like since I'm the youngest, I get like the worst shit.
I hate it. :/
Plus all my siblings had cars & their licenses by their 16th birthday.. & I'm almost 17 and don't even have my license yet, and won't have a car for a REALLY long time.
I don't know what to say.
Advice?

You parents are doing the best that they can - if your grades are good, then start applying for scholarships and grants.
Community college is a great start - you do good there - then you can transfer to a 4 yr school without any problem.

Q: I have a pretty confusing situation.
I'm a girl, 15 and a sophomore. There are two guys that are involved, the first, whom I'll call L, is a really nice, funny, and cute guy. I talk to him every day, and I think that we're friends and get along pretty well. He's 17 and a senior, and I've liked him since about the 2nd week of this school year. The second guy, F, I only met less than a month ago. He is the sweetest guy I know, and we talk pretty often nowadays, which is weird, as he has said that he usually can't stand sophomores. He's also a senior, and kindof an artsy, non-conventional guy. The problems? L is dating an AMAZINGLY gorgeous and talented girl, who lives 6 hours away but he has been dating since summer. He's never talked to me about her, but this weekend I saw them together for the first time and I almost had a stroke, which is weird for me. F drinks, smokes, etc, while I am 100% straightedge. L also has a really cool girlfriend, whom he has been going out with at least since the summer, and I know reasonably well.
I don't want to be a homewrecker. Are my hopes way too high? Will I ever be anything than just a friend with either of them? Do I just wait it out and see what happens? Should I even bother with F?
If you could bring any clarity to this situation, I would appreciate it so much!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
L sounds wonderful. Actually, its good that you don't want to be a homewrecker.
The fact that you talk to him everyday and can connect is good; that means he's not annoyed by you.
F I would stay away from relationship wise - your personal values are too different. Don't even bother with F - just be friends.
Hang in there with L, most LDRs don't work and eventually will end.
