Q: 15/f. his first girlfriend committed suicide and he cant figure out why and misses her terribly. every time he thinks of her, he cuts. his mom thinks hes gotten over it, and told him if he ever went back to it, she'll send him somewhere. so has his best friend, he comes to me. hes tried to stop, but it seems its geting more frequent.he lives a million miles away so i cant talk to him face to face. im really worried that one day he'll kill himself. i have no idea what to do x__x

Eh.
This is a tough situation.
I've been where he is right now.
& I'm still not over it.
It's common that he wont ever get over it.
He just has to learn how to accept it.
I blame myself to this day, so I have no doubt that he probably does too.
The best thing that you can do is offer love and support towards him.
Let him know that you are there for him and you will continue to be. Let him know that you care about him and dont want to see him put himself through that day after day and if you could make it better you would.
At least.. those are the things I'd want to hear. & some of the things that helped me.
Dont try and tell him not to cut though or yell at him when he does, that only made me want to do it more & i felt like I disappointed people.
I just needed someone to be there for me and let me vent to them and have them not judge me, tell me what to do, or show any sign of emotion cause that just made me feel bad.
You'd have to be a really strong emotional person to deal with something like that
I crushed alot of people with the way that I was.
It does get better though, and I survived through it, twice.
The best thing you can do, like I said, is be a friend. Whenever he needs it. & let him know that youre not going anywhere.
It's really sad to say but sometimes if someone has intentions of killing themselves..sometimes theres nothing anyone can do about it. It's like programed in their brain and their set on autopilot.
We can try our best to prevent it, or give them ultimatums but sometimes its too late.
Try and do as best you can and offer as much love and support as you can, like I said.
He could just be crying out for help with the cutting/suicidal talk.
Also tell him.. that if his gf was still here.. she wouldnt want him to do that to himself. & to stay alive for her.
thats what ive been doing.. for the past 5 years.
Good luck.

Q: 15/f
My school requires me to fulfill 24 community hours. I have only 3 and the hours are due by the end of January, but I don't know what to do for them. I got the three hours from camp, but it was from pulling weeds. PS it needs to be supervised like I can't go to the beach myself without anyone and clean it up and put that, it has to be through some function or organization
so basically what is a way to get more communtiy serivice hours I was thinking of an animal shelter but I'm too young for that.
PS. don't say babysitting please
thanks so much and I would love you if you could help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Hmmm.
Some things that my friends have been doing are..
Going to the dog pound and cleaning cages
Picking up trash at parks
Babysitting
Filing papers for executives
Being someones personal assistant also qualifies
Talk to your school guidance counselor. Theyll have alot of ideas.
I dont know why you'd be too young for an animal shelter though. Usually there isnt an age for volunteer work. Any help is good help. I highly doubt they'd reject someone.
Ask around too.

Q: i'm SO confused! I'm buying these buttons of Jesse Mccartney on iOffer (not my first choice), and i'd never used it before, but i decided to fill out all the information for shipping and then ask my Dad for his credit card to pay with. (Since i clicked on 'buy now'). But when i filled out my name and address, and e-mail -- it didn't ask for any credit information. So now i'm kind of freaked. It said that the seller would contact me, but i don't know how i'll end up getting the buttons if i didn't even pay for it. (it says i have it purchased) And i'm also worried about how secure it is. Any help? to any of this? thanks!. x x
|

|

|

Well, first off. You need to know what the seller accepts. If the seller doesnt say that they accept credit cards under their general info. than this is why it didnt ask for any. It most likely works like ebay. The sellers usually require the buyer to make some sort of contact with them, so they can get the shipping information and tell you any additional information about the product. I wouldnt be too concerned about it. Email the buyer if you really are though and ask them whats going on and why it works that way. Or email the site administrator.. or even read the FAQ. It should have on there somewhere their policys and procedures.
I wouldnt be too concerned though. Most internet auction/buying websites are designed that way. & If it is because they dont accept credit cards then the seller will contact you most likely so you can send a check or money order of some sort.
If you're really scared, ask your parents about it and have them contact the website if it turns out to be a scam.

Q: how can i look noticable? or attractive at least..? thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well. It depends on what you consider attractive. If you dont wear makeup, you could consider wearing that. You could wear flashy jewelry, or bright outfits. But honestly, I wouldnt recommend doing any of that. Who cares what people think of your outward appearance. Just be yourself and let people notice you because of your personality, not because you're wearing things to make them want to get to know you. They should want to anyways.
But eh.
If you insist on changing your outward appearance, then go with the above suggestions.
Buy a new outfit, some flashy jewelry, apply makeup.
Bright colors make people stand out
Dont go too heavy on the makeup though.
You might draw negative attention.
The confidence thing has always worked for me, no matter what Im wearing. So its how you present yourself. Buy a brand new outfit and walk around like your worth a million bux. People are drawn to that.

Q: i heard a girl can only get pregnant 2-4days out of a month. if it is true? how does someone tell when those 2-4 days are?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The time when a girl is ovulating is a week before her period starts. Then when she gets her period it flushes out all the unfertilized eggs.
So. Approximately 7 days out of the month she can get pregnant.
There are some exeptions though.
Not every girl has her period right on schedule, so some are hard to determine.

It's when the blood rushes to the guys penis. Causing it to stand straight up, in an erect manner. (Hardon, boner, erection) etc etc. It usually happens when he gets turned on, or sometimes uncontrollably like when he first wakes up, or when he gets in the shower.

Q: i have both of my cartilages pierced, but ive been thinkin about gettin an industrial done. i got my cartilage piercing on my right ear a wee bit lower than normal, and its currently gauged to a 14, but if i were to take it out, would they be able to pierce my industrial without it screwin all up? and does it hurt alot? compared with a regular cartilage piercing?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They would still be most likely able to pierce it. When you go to the piercing place just ask them if their able to work around it. Theyve dealt with people with probably alot more ear piercings than you have, lol. As for the pain. It all depends on your pain tolerance. Industrial is just 2 cartilage piercings with a bar. So if you can handle that, I think you'll be fine. & Plus, you said your ear was gauged and in my experiance, I think gauging ears hurts more than piercings in general. So, yeah. It's only for a brief second anyways, so I think youll be quite alright.

Q: My boyfriend is getting the magazine Maxim or whatever. I've seen it but it always has pretty ladies on it. I dont want him looking at like a magazine that contains stuff that no girlfriend would want a boyfriend to look at such as naked people and what not. Cuz that just makes me self consious & fight to be even more prettier so i dont feel so ugly & compared to those girls.
Please just give me details on whats in that magazine, it'd be must helpful!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well. Maxim is by far from a porno magazine. It's basically just a magazine with the perfect combination for guys. Sports, cars, and girls. All rolled into some fabulous package. I understand where you're coming from that you dont want him to look at that because it makes you feel like you have to strive to look like them, but it shouldnt be that way. He's with you, not them. Nor will he ever be with them, lol. Guys just like looking at things that they cant have, and like looking at pretty girls half nude on the hood of a car. Psh, I dont know what they get out of it but its nothing to be concerned about. You shouldnt feel like you have to be in some sort of competition with them. If your boyfriend didnt think that you were pretty enough, good enough, nice enough, sweet enough etc etc, he wouldnt be dating you, now would he? You have nothing to worry about dollface. Plus, the girls in those magazines have their faces painted on for them. Their so incredibly fake, along with their body parts :). I dont know about you but I would much rather want to look real, then like some fake bimbo on the cover of a magazine.
He's a guy, though. That's whats to be expected I guess. I wouldnt worry too much about it. Just be who you are, and dont strive to compete with them, it isnt worth it.
If it really upsets you though and you dont want to take my advice up there then I suggest bringing it up to him. Maybe sit him down and tell him that it really bugs you that he feels the need to look at magazines like that (although maxim really isnt provokative). Try to come to a basic understanding with one another, and then go from there

Q: 16-f
ive always been unhappy about my nose. i think its kinda big and i dont know! i know i have to live with it but its something ive always been self-conscious about. and it made me even MORE tonight. you see there is this adorable kid and hes really sweet and hes always thought i was hott my cousin said. but then tonight he came up somehow and my cousin was like he said you werent so hott anymore and because you had a jacked up nose or something. this made me feel really bad about myself because i thought people were getting past seeing my nose. everyone thinks im soo pretty but i just cant get over my nose and sometimes i just think im overreacting but then when people start saying stuff i know its true. i just dont know what to doo.. =(
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wow. If he's going to stop liking you because of your nose than seriously, he isnt even worth a second of your time. Hes shallow, and you dont want to date someone like that anyways. This is what I tell all my friends who think that their ugly when their not. People are attracted to confidence. If youre sitting there feeling sorry for yourself others are going to get that vibe and are going to do so also. If you walk around confident, and dont let peoples words get to you, they will be drawn to your confidence. It's part of you, and you're beautiful. Make jokes about it, laugh about it. If you're the one making the jokes other people wont be so weird about being around you. Just learn to love yourself and your flaws, everyone has them, its not just you. Accentuate your flaws and turn them into good ones. And as for the guy, psh. You could do alot better, and find someone who doesnt even notice that, but notices your amazing personality and other qualities.

Q: I've been reading alot of questions on here about "group homes" and I haven't answered any yet because I'm not sure what a 'group home' is. So if someone would tell me.. that'd be great!
= ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lol.
A group home is like a half way house. The kid I love was just in a group home for 5 months. He was on probation and his dad told his PO that he wasnt getting along with his family and he was sent to the group home where he only had one phone call a week, had to do chores everyday, and was around alot of other boys that he didnt know. You cant smoke, drink, do drugs there. It depends on which one it is, cause some are stricter than others. but basically its a place for troubled kids to go to seek "help" and when they get better their allowed to go back home again. It's also called a halfway housewhich is generally more based towards drugs.. and you go there when youre trying to get clean and sober

Q: I underestimated the amount of time it would take for me to cover ten chapters so my only option right now, aside from failing the midterm, is to pull an all-nigher! However, I can't seem to stop falling asleep at periods of time...
I need something that will keep me awake!
Energy drinks won't work. Caffeine has the opposite effect on me.
Any suggestions?
|

You could try energy pills, like stacker 2's. I've been taking them for the past 2 weeks and they keep me wired for at least 6 hours. If all else fails, you could try to find the footnotes for the book, or get the book on CD or tape, haha.
Although that would be cheating, but depserate times call for desperate measures ! =]
Try the Stacker 2's though
They work really well for mee.

Q: so okay, i cut. and well i dont see anything wrong with that. i mean its not like its that serious. its just like getting a tattoo. or getting a peircing so why is it so "bad". people always say dont do it blah blah blah. its not hurting them so why should they care? i just dont get why its like considered so "bad" doing drugs and drinking is a wholee lot worse. so does anyone know why people think its so bad? any other opinions?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Actually. I used to cut also. I did it for 6 years. Havent in a few months, but I'm completely done with it. I heard the same things "you shouldnt do it, it doesnt help" Whatever. etc etc, right? I'm sure this is all too familiar. Well. From personal experiance, I suppose it helped, but it wasnt in a healthy way and I needed to learn how to deal with stress in a nondestructive way. There are other ways to deal with depression/anger/stress, besides drinking, cutting, burning, and drugs also. Like writing, exercising, dancing, singing, screaming, kicking something. Etc.
I'm not trying to lecture you though.
They care because they care about you & they dont want anything bad to happen to you. It isnt like a tattoo. Tattoo's arent slice marks in your skin and dont make you bleed excessively. Piercings are tiny holes that can be removed and become barely visible. Cutting is permanent, if you scar your skin bad enough it wont ever heal.
I actually regret doing it.
I cut so deep that I needed to get stitches, but I didnt and it healed all messed up and I have a raised scar on my forearm that wont ever go away. My upper arms are also tore up big time. I wish I could make them go away now that everything is over and done with, but I cant. & If I ever got really tan they would show up horribly. How would that look if I got a professional job & Had to wear a short sleeve shirt? Or go to a wedding and wore a strapless dress for that matter?
Yeah.
I cant wear tube tobs, short sleeves, anything. I'm always hiding them.
It's a pain.
Do you really want that?
Thats really what your friends are getting at. They dont want you to have to go through that.
I understand that it may not be that bad right now but what happens when thats what you turn to for everything, and little cuts arent satisfying anymore? What happens when the cut gets so deep that you almost bleed to death like I did? What happens when your older and have kids and they ask why you have scars all over your body? Ehh. It's a sickness, an addiction, a habit. It doesnt go away unless you stop it. & if things keep going wrong, you wont, because you wont think theres anything wrong with you.
Your friends are just looking out for you, their not trying to "ruin your life". I promise.
So basically.
Look at the long term effects, and if its worth it then by all means keep cutting. Do it to get over your pain, do it for the rest of your life, anything I suppose.
Just make sure that you are aware of what to look forward to in the future.
I'm just looking out for you, just like them.

Q: okay i am overweight not complety overweight but overweight i really feel bad about my weight i am trying to go on a diet and workout more can u juss give some tips on wat i should good diets and stuff like dat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Google "Diet tips" It usually brings up alot of stuff. I'm amazing with diets but its usually in an unhealthy way that gets the job done. Desperate times call for desperate measures, heh.
Theres a diet called the 2,4,6,8 diet. Basically 200 calories, 400 calories, 600, 800, then nothing the 5th day. Its designed for fast results without shutting down your metabolism.
Eh. But if you dont want anything too extreme.
I'd say make sure to eat the proper 2000 calories a day, but dont include any fatty products such as candys, chocolate, cookies. etc.
Celery is a good diet food because its negative calories. You burn more calories eating it then it even contains.
Water is also an essential when dieting. You dont want to cause yourself to become dehydrated.
I advise keeping a journal of your calorie/food intake. There are 3000 calories per pound. So if you intake 2000, you know you need to try and burn off half of that.
Here is a website for calorie counter
http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_food.html
It has like every food known to man in there
And this is for exercises, how many calories are burned off for whatever exercise you choose on doing.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calories.htm
&& thiss, is a weekly diet that some do.
http://www.freewebs.com/houseofeddiets/metabolismdiet.htm
Basically, general message. Eat healthy (proteins, vegetables, meats, potatoes, fruits)
& exercise enough to somewhat balance your food intake/exercise routine.
Running is good, crunches, situps. If you want to get rid of tummy fat I suggest situps/crunches. Do them right when you get up in the morning because it speeds your metabolism up so you can burn more calories during the day. Something else you can do is wear extra clothes when you run or exercise because it'll make you weigh more so that you can burn off more calories.
Also do exercises before you go to bed.
Its a good routine to get into.
Cold showers = burn calories also
& drinking water 30 minutes before & after you eat makes you retain salt =D
Haha.
So theres a bunch of random information to write down. Good luck!

Q: my teacher is hot. but hes too old for me. I want him so bad. Should i grab his butt or something?
19/f
|
|
|
|
|

|

Eh.
If this were any other person besides a teacher, I would say go for it?
But. Hes a teacher. He could lose his job for having a relationship with a student.
Even though you're over 18, he could still get in trouble and it could be alot of legal issues.
They might say that he was using his position to take advantage of you, etc.
To be on the safe side, I wouldnt mess with it, even when you are out of school.
Plus, he could have a girlfriend, it could make things awkward if he doesnt return your gestures & over-all complicate things.
For his sake, and yours. I'd save yourself the trouble and find someone else. If you really like him, you wouldnt want him losing his job right? Then you wouldnt be able to look at him :) haha

Q: after shaving the pubic hair on your vagina is there anyway to get rid of the black dots that are left behind? or what about the red bumps that sometime show up?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the red bumps show up, it means you didnt get a close enough shave. Its usually some type of rash. I dont know if you've ever dry shaved your legs before (without water or shaving cream), it will be really sensitive to touch and have red dots/rashes appear. It's basically the same concept when shaving pubic hair. If you dont use enough shaving cream, and a super sharp razor they will appear. As for the black dots, they could be blackheads. Which, I'm not sure why you'd have them in your genital region, but I suppose its possible. I'm not sure other than that, what they would be, but I'd say look it up online just to be sure, and go from there.
As for the red dots though ; use lots of shaving cream next time and a super sharp razor, and make sure that you dont use the same razor that you shave your legs with!. There's no way to really get "rid" of them. Just wait it out and be more careful next time :)

Q: How can I get rid of my phobia?
One that is so bad that I have panic attacks and pass out if it's even mentioned....
:-(
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well.
There's really nothing else that you can do.
Generally, part of overcoming phobias is confronting the fear and realizing that there is nothing wrong with it.
For example- little kids that are afraid of the dentist, they go, and realize it isnt so bad, and are over their fear.
Fear generally consists in people who dont have knowledge on the subject that theyre afraid of. Once they experiance it and become knowledgable they are able to overcome it.
If thats absolutely not possible though, you could go through some type of hypnosis (unless you're afraid of psychaitrists) that will enable you to get over your fear.
Try and confront the situation though.
You havent really provided enough information for me to really go on, so I'm trying my best with what I'm given. Maybe if you send a message to my inbox and specify the phobia, i'll be able to better the advice.

Q: So, I've bought items off eBay, but I'm thinking of selling stuff off of it too. How does that work? What do you have to do to sell something/send it to the person/recieve their payment?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well. You set up an account with paypal.com similar to what you use if you use a credit card to purshase things. You need a debit card/checking/banking account, too. Once you've established a business account on paypal.com you find information about the item that you're selling. Say I was selling a Kodak digital camera. You go to the kodak websites, or walmart or whichever sells that camera, and basically copy the information like special features, what the camera consists of. Then you tell the buyers what kind of product it is, new or old, what condition its in, how many you have. etc etc. general information basically. You also let them know what kind of payments you accept. The easiest is paypal. Safe & Secure. Once they buy your item they will be sent to your paypal link, where they enter their credit card information, it will deposit money directly into your banking account. Once you know the money is there, you can ship their package.
As for shipping and handling information, shipping will obviously be their address or P.O box #. & handling goes by weight. Take a trip to your local post office, or ask UPS. They have a chart based on weights. Like for example, if something was 8 lbs, the price is oh.. idk.. 10 dollars? (thats not exact, its an estimate)
so.. 8 pounds-10 dollars
7 pounds - 9.50
something along those lines. Check it out at your post office and write it down. So you have a general idea on how much to charge them.
Once you've shipped a few packages you'll have a general idea of how much things are, its fairly easy.
I think thats it though, if you have any other questions you can also read the FAQ on ebay, or call UPS or your post office, im sure they deal with alot of ebay sellers.

Q: What does "Arrival At The Unit" mean in terms to shipping a package and tracking it via USPS? Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It depends on which location it says. It'll usually say
shipped from the warehouse
arrival at *city here*
then keep saying that until it arrives at the final destination before your house, which is one step before it gets to your house
so arrival at the unit most likely means it arrived at the place in your city, and then itll be shipped out to you.
call the USPS and ask them for further details on shipping on locations =]

Q: im a 13/f. i really want my nose pierced....really bad. Does it hurt though?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like I tell everyone, it all depends on your pain tolerance. I pierced mine myself and it hurt a little bit, but nothing that I couldnt handle. In my opinion, my cartilage didnt hurt, because they did it fast, and I got my tongue done professionally and it didnt hurt either. I'm assuming that getting your nose pierced professionally wont hurt, because they shove the needle in so fast that you cant feel it, but it all depends. If you think shots hurt, than you'll most likey think piercings hurt too. Its only for a split second though and then it goes away. =]
