who you're going to marry, when you'll die, how many kids you'll have, how much money you'll make, basically anything to do witht he future. ask who you're talking to, ask about that being and all.


My father is the closest person outside of my house family to me. I love him very much but all of a sudden he has developed a mental illness and doesn't remember me. Sometimes when I walk into the room to visit him he shouts things like "Killer!" and "Why did you have to hurt my leg Barbara?" although that is not at all my name. I'm not sure if there is a way to help him remember me, but it's hard to cope with the pain of him thinking that I have hurt him in the past. What should I do? (link)
i'm sorry that this kind of thing happened to you and your grandfather. my grandfather had ahltimers (spelt incredibly wrong) and it sounds very similar to what your grandfather is going through.

you just have to know that he loves you, because when he did/does remember you, he knows he's your grandfather and that you mean everything to him, like he means the world to you. i know it hurts a lot, i really do, but you know that there were better times when he was (excuse the wording but) lucid.

its always very very tough when a loved one doesn't remember who you are. its the worst thing in the world. just remember the good times, and try and tell him that you love him every time you visit him. try and tell him about those memories you have. maybe (and i mean with a miracle maybe) he will remember one of those times too. sometimes, sufferers have moments where everything is clear to them again. those moments are precious and few, but they do exsist.

well you know you're not barbara, so some one named barbara caused him pain. it wasn't you, and some day, maybe he'll realize that you're not barbara and you are *your name.* you know he loves you, he just doesn't remember.


Well, today my mom had asked me to make dinner and I did because I love to cook. When she got home she said "I hope your father doesn't show up late so he can eat some dinner." I said, Oh, he's going out to dinner with some of his coworkers remember? and she said that she had no clue what I was talking about. Basically, my dad didn't tell her anything about the dinner so she's pissed. She always gets really pissed off at him because she says that they don't communicate. Well, she says that he doesn't communicate with her. I'm really scared that my parents might get a divorce. I love both of my parents and I hate to see them argue and the thought of them getting a divorce scares me. There are so many kids in my school who's parents are divorced and they look at me like I'm crazy when they ask me "So, do you live with your mom or your dad?" and I respond with, "Both". This is hard for me, I don't want my family to be torn apart! What should I do? (link)
ok, sometimes parents need to vent. thats probably why your mom says stuff like that. if she's been with him 21 years, i strongly doubt she's going to leave him now. sometimes my mom freaks out too, and i'm nearly convinced they'll get a divorce some day, but what can we--their children do? its really just up to your parents to maintain their relationship. like i know my parents will at least wait for my sister and i to graduate from college and then if they feel the need too, they will spilt up. i'm sure your mom will wait too, if thye're going to get a devorce.

yeah, i wouldn't worry too much. eh, maybe she just has her period or something, or she's pms or hey, it could even be metopose. she could be all pissy because of hormons and not your dad, but just be taking it out on him.


For me my love life sucks. I have the most amazing friends, but i still wish I had someone to actually love.

My problem is that i dont know how to really get a guys attention. I am always told to be myself, and thats what guyslove the most. But, I do just that, and I seem to not be getting any feedback. Do I need to take my 'flirting level' up a bit? pleeease help me!!
(link)
guys are stupid, but if you really feel the need to "have" one then yes you need to up your "flirting level." be yourself, with just a touch more assertiveness and be a tad more outgoing.


ok welll im for bush and this one group of my friends are completely anti-bush. and whenever they start talking about the election they totally bash bush in front of my face. they say mean things about him that arnt true. and it really bothers me.....and like i feel like there almost attacking me whenever i tell them that bush was a good leader...what do i do? (link)
well, both canidates are easy targets, so attack kerry.

if not, try to avoid the topic if at all possible.


Anyone have the best advice for covering a pimple or the quickest method to get rid of one? (like if I had a dance the next day!) (link)

OK ive been going out with my bf for a week so far but I'm still kinda nervous around him cuz I like him so much. I want to surprise him and kiss him in like an empty hall tomorrow when we're walking together to show him that I really like him but I need like a game plan here lol can anyone help me out ? Thanks so much! (link)
no game plan: you gotta do it when it feels right. you can't plan something like that, or its never going to work out for you--it will feel awkward and wrong.


Just out of curiosity, what does "hooking up" mean to you? It seems to mean something different for everybody... (link)
going out on a date, but not nessisarily dating.


I wasn't sure what category to put this under by recently my girlfriend / best friend and I just lost our virginity to each other. It was amazing. But then the next night, I get a phone call from her brother saying to go the hospital because my girlfriend's just been raped...by her father. I didn't know what to do, so i just froze and went after her father. I beat the crap out of him and broke my hand. I know that wasn't smart but what he did to her was less smart. He's been abusing her since about the age of 4, I was one of the few people who knew this. She didn't want ANYONE telling the police because her father threatened her. And she didn't want to run away and leave her little sister with her father for fear he might hurt her too.

Well anyway, back on topic, her father went to jail and everyone testified against him. So he'll be in there for a LONG time. My problem is, my girlfriend is still in shock over this. We tried to have sex a few weeks later but she was so scared and still thinks about the rape. I'm not frustrated about the no-sex part AT ALL believe me. But what I'm wondering is if there's anything I can do for her to make her get over this. I want her to be happy again. I love her with all my heart and hate seeing her like this.

Any girls who have been raped, you could probably help me most on this. How did you get over it? Thanks SO much! (link)
ok, well stop having sex with her first of all. thats just not going to help the problem at all what so ever in the history of helping out a rape victem. She's going to be scared for a very very long time. please don't break up with her, that would be earth shattering for her.

tell her you love her with all your heart. she's going to definately want to hear that. don't do anything sexual, but letting her cry on your shoulder and hugging is probably as far as you should go for a while. You NEED to be there for her, which i'm sure you already are. let her call you at all hours so on and so forth.

maybe even taking her to therapy might help her. like a school counciler or something. any one. she might need help after something as tramatic as that.

you're not responcible, though i understand why you would feel that way. you are not the one who raped her, so you can't be responcible. the only person who is responcible is her father.


OK For haloween im goin to be like a gangsta n dress up like a guy. Im gettin some jeans n a wifebeater but i cant think of what else would complete the outfit. Any suggestions ? (link)
du-rag. that would rock! black probably. oh and a chain wallet and boxers, red.


hey does nair really work? because i have a hard time shaving my legs and getting all the spots and i thought it would be nice but i want to know if it works first. thanx. (link)
yes. it works great. it smells horrible, but they make some no touch stuff that works well, but doesn't smell so bad. it washes off easier too.

(link)
being all over him in the halls is gross. its just flat out gross, and i think ur bf knows that. like kissing in the halls, especially as freshmen, is a huge huge NO!

about love: love can happen at first site, or after 90 years of living together. it can happen with out knowing his name, it can happen after knowing him for ever. love knows no age, know sex, no religion, no race or anything like that. love is unpredictable and private. perhaps that whole wanting to love you--not privately, but not infront of everyone (because it can get annoying seeing your best friend on top of there significant other).

Watch a scary movie with him, and act (or be) really scared, so he'll want to hold you in that whole masculine protective thing. act cold more often if you ned too.

he probably isn't shy, but 24 days, hunni you're moving kind of fast. it might be freaking him out. sorry, good luck.



theres this boy that i went out with when i was really young.. like.. 9ish ? idk but he was my first boyfriend first kiss.. first h/j .. idk first everything. me and him got into a stupid argument and i broke up with him. i just entered high school and he's in 10th grade. he takes the same bus as me too. i see him everyday and he always says hi and smiles. i really like him again, but idk what to do.!! HELP !! (link)
well, your not going to stop liking him, so ask him out! who knows, maybe he'll wanna go out with you! and then you guys will live happily ever after and blah blah blah!


Ok, i have really big boobs, i mean they r pretty big. well i have dated like 3-4 guys in the past mounth, and had sex wit them all. it turns out they only dated me cuz i liked havin sex and my boobs. i feel so used. i really need help. what should i do? o yea im 15. (link)
stop having sex with guys. yes you have been used. think that you've used them too :-D


help im really confused about math right now. i dont no what rational, real, irrational, or natural numbers are! i looked up rational number in the back of the book and it said a real number and i looked up real number and it said a number that is irrational or rational.. u can see my probelm HELP ME PLEEAASEE!! if u r in algebra 1 or u just no what they r plz lemme no
thank u soo much (link)
ok, a real number is any number you can put on paper. a rational number is a real number. they're synonems. an irrational number is like a gillion. 1 gillion is not a number. a natural number, hmm sorry i don't believe i know that one.


hey i know this is kind of a weird question, but, my friend lost 54 lbs by only eating graham crackers and hard boiled eggs for 4 months.i cant do that, so i was wondering, are graham crackers good for you? i hate eggs so i wont eat them... (link)
umm was she throwing up after she ate that stuff, because its not like they're particularly good for you. they're not bad for you, but like eating an apple would be better.


what are termination and repeating numbers? (link)
terminating decimals are numbers that end, and repeating numbers are decimals that don't, like pi. Terminating: 0.5 Repeating: 0.66666666 . . . or in other words 2/3. get it? hope so. IM me at Tucanfullofholes if you have any other questions regarding math. its my forte. spelling is not. lol hope i helped.


Ok, This may be long but it is really important and i need some other opinions and ideas ::::

Ok, at school this past thursday, i lost my phone during 4th period. I found out this boy had taken it and after school he had put it on top of the lockers. Do you have ANY ideas for finding a stolen phone, because I checked where he said he had put it and it wasn't there so obviously someone has it. Here are a few of my ideas ::;
1) Put the description with a reward on the announcements
2) Turn my service back on (i turned it off when i lost it) and wait for a day or two, and then see where the calls were made.

I would appreciate any ideas or opinions on what i should do. thanks bunches! (link)
turn ur service back on and call it yourself. if some one answers, ask them who they are, and to give back your phone. if not, wait for after school and try listening for your ring.

try looking ontop of ALL of the lockers. i know that its gonna take for ever and all, but its the only way you can really know that nobody has it. he could just be stupid and forgot which locker he put it on.



I'm 13. I have 5 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of pants, 5 shirts and 2 sets of pJ's.

I keep asking and asking my mom to take me out shopping, but she always keeps saying no. I get in trouble at school a lot because my shorts are to short and my pants are too tight, but I can't help it if my mom never takes me shopping!
How do I get her to take me out shopping? (link)
go shopping yourself! go with a friend of yours or something. maybe go with your friends mom or something. tell your mom its a must. like its absolutely nessisarry because you are totally out fo close.

go to school naked or something, that'll wake her up. no i'm just kidding.
