Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

Hey im 14 and i have never had a boyfriend(i kno it is pathetic but thats the way it is). Well there is this boY at school that i really like. We talk sometimes but not much. I wanna tell him how i fell but i dont kno if i should and if i shold then how would i tell him.If i do tell him i dont want him to feel weird around me if he dosent like me back. PLEASEE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!
I have a crush on the guy that sits next to me at lunch (everyone knows now so it's not embarassing) And one day this girl told him I liked him... during lunch when I was sitting right there. She knew I'd punch her, so she walked out of the cafeteria, I followed her, she went into the bathroom, I followed her, I threatened to punch the crap out of her (she's weak, I would've won... believe me, when I'm mad, I can HIT!) but I figured, my semi-close friend got expelled for fighting, do I really wanna risk that? I didn't. But ever since, you can just imagine how I feel everyday sitting at lunch, talking to him. Now that he knows I like him. At first, extremely weird, then about 2 days later, just awkward, it's the next week now, and I'm back to being friends with him, no more awkwardness. What I'm getting at is, it's good to just let them know you like them. That's how my sis and her boyfriend ended up together. One day she just spat it out, they were talking on IM, she told him she really liked him, then on 12-28-04 he asked her out. You have to let them know you like them. Boys are stupid and they don't know you like them unless you're a.) all over them, or b.) up front with them and let them know how you feel.
B is the better option. Of course it'll be awkward at first. I'm 14/f, I've had plenty of boyfriends, after my last break up I thought I'd never like an older guy again, the jerk I was dating wanted to go a little to far and he wouldn't except no for an answer, until I physically hurt him and made him realize, no was my answer. It's not fun when you've been with someone for a year and they pull something like that on you. But again, what I'm trying to get to is just let them know, the awkwardness goes away after a week or so, and if he does like you, then he won't be afraid of rejection because he knows that you like him. Guys are as good at hiding wierdness as girls are at hiding sadness (and boy am I good at that) But just be open with him, let him know you like him, but it's okay if he doesn't feel the same way and that you don't want any wierdness between the two of you. And don't let it get too far. Because it's yuor first relationship (if you end up together) he'll probably test you (unless he's not like that) he'll see how far you're willing to go. Whether he threatens your relationship, only go as far as you are comfortable. Sorry I kind of went of on my 'life story' and that it took a while for me to get to my point, but I hope you got, and understood my point. It's not pathetic that you've never had a boyfriend. I'd rather have been single all my life than have dated some of the guys I've dated. Good luck with your relationship 'problems'
my gerbil died?? what shall i do??
Buy a new one? Have a small cute little funeral for it. Sorry, never had a pet, don't really know much about them.
14/f , today me and my boyfriend madeout for the first time today. it was his first time ever to makeout, but not mine at all. the problem is- he wasnt that great at it, and i didnt really know what to do :x I know its not that big of a deal but its kinda of a turn off.. what do you sugest i do? thanks :)
It was his first time, give him a break haha. If it really was his first time, then he probably had no idea what he was doing. Just like I bet your first time you were scared, or nervous, or confused, most likely that's how he was feeling. For the next few times ya'll make out, you lead. Make sure you let him know whatever he's doing wrong, you don't want him to keep making the same mistakes (though how many can you make through kissing?) If he doesn't get any better, then try finding other ways. If he's your boyfriend I doubt you're just dating to kiss, find other things that are fun that ya'll can safely do together. USE PROTECTION for anything that should be protected ;-)!! Good luck!
Ok.....I have a friend and she is getting on my nerves! I honestly do not know what to do. I know that she is just like me but Idont know if i like this people being like me. What am I to do..?
Please give me advice!
I think I know what you're saying, but I can't be completely sure. There's a friend you have that is just like you, you're not only annoyed by this friend, but you don't like the fact that they're just like you?
If that assumtion is wrong, then sorry, reask it, and I'll reanswer. But if not, then I'll try my best.
When I have a problem with someone I do one of two things. I tell them right away how I feel, or I act like a total jerk until another friend lets me know how badly I've been, and makes me be super nice to them until I acutally like them (just did that recently with a teacher, and now... I like her again, amazing how things work)
But really, this is the worst answer someone can get, because nobody likes being told to do this, beacuse nobody knows how to say it, or how to put it without hurting someones feelings, but you have to... Tell her how you feel. Just be like... "Hey girl, I know were good friends and all, but lately I don't know what it is, but you've been seriously getting on my nerves. I know we're a lot a like, and that's also been bugging me. You're super cool and everything, but I like the whole individuality thing, and maybe we can be a little less similar, but still great friends. I love you to death girl, but there's something going on that just annoys me. I can't put my finger on it, but wow, this is hard to say. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I just wanted to be honest, because you can't have a good friendship without honesty right? I hope you aren't mad at me." I hope that's good. Sorry if I'm not helpful. You can always try asking someone else, or the whole site. Good luck.
why is it sometimes I block ppl on my buddy list and a few minutes later it says they sign on..though it says blocked..i just blocked everyone outta no where..so no one on my buddy list is sign on...and little by little ppl are signing on though when i click INFO it says they're blocked..though i see they are on-line..wtf?
AIM has changed a lot lately. I have a bunch of new features I've never had. Are computer AIM thingy never had linking and unlinking screen names, now it does. It might be a new feature. Why don't you try and see if it's in the AIM FAQ, just go to http://www.aim.com or google search if that's the wrong website. Or ask the aim people a question. When blocking people it always appeared as they were signed off, and vice versa. But maybe they've changed it so you just can't IM each other. I just checked on my buddy list, and the person I blocked completely appears as off line. I tried looking at her buddy info and it didn't work. It looked like she was off line when looking at my buddy list. There might be something wrong with your computer, or it's a new featture on whatever type of AIM you have. Sorry that this is confusing, but I tried answering it best I could.
I i got the dancing game i wanted (DDR). I cant stop playing it. My mom says i acn lose a lot of weight playing it. Is losing a lot of weight good or bad? I need help.
It depends. It can be good, but there is such a thing as losing too much weight. That can be bad. I didn't know you could lose lots of weight from playing dance dance revolution, but well, you learn something knew everyday. But it all depends how much you lose. Just make sure that you check your weight, and that it isn't too little. Like make sure your weight isn't under 90 unless you're under 5 foot, heck I think make sure unless you're shorter than 5 foot that your weight isn't under 100. But check your weight often and compare it to what it should be, or compare it to 5lbs over the lowest it should be. Your weight should always be 3-5 pounds higher than the LOWEST weight!! Sorry if I'm confusing or not much help. Good luck
Across the street from me, an elderly couple sold their house and the people that bought it have two young boys, ages 4 and 7 I believe. They have asked me if I'd like to babysit for them and that's fine with me. I've babysat before but normally I'd do it free of charge. It's come the time where I'm getting older and I need to get money. I'll be driving in a year and my parents aren't going to be paying for my gas and car insurance. What would be a good amout of money to ask for? I don't want to be asking for too much. I'm 15/ female.
I think $6 per hour, if it's after your curfew, or after midnight or something, make it $6 per hour until midnight, then $7 per hour. Or $8 per hour after midnight.
So $6 per hour until midnight, then $7-$8 per hour after midnight.
Hey, can anyone give me symptoms of strep throat? I think I might have it. My throat has been hurting really bad the past 3 days, my nose has been stuffed up, my head hurts, and my stomach hurts...ick. Thanks a bunch!
I'm just getting over strep, that and mono are going around our school. I've had strep a lot in the past too. You have it. I'm not a doctor, but I can tell you, if your head hurts, your throat hurts, and you're congested, you either have strep, or a viral infection. I'm not a doctor, and I don't pretend to be, but most likely you have it. When I had it, I took my own tempature at home with a plastic thermometer and my temp was 101.9, a few hours later when the doctor took it, my temp was 104.3 So you would have a fever. I was also really dizzy all day long, and I felt like I was going to faint. I felt terribly sick when sitting down, but when walking around I felt okay. I couldn't concentrate on anything because I felt so bad. I was really tired, and when I got home from school I slept for 2 hours straight. Also (this is the gross part) my doctor told me my tonsils were gross (how rude ;-p) my doctor also said that my tonsils were really big, red, and there was pus on them. The doctor also told me that I had the worse tonsils that my doctor had seen in a long time (I thought that was rather harsh ;-P) But yeah, you get it. You either have strep or some type of viral infection. Hope you feel better soon :-)
My friends trying to quit smoking, he asked me for adviced and I told him to use those patch thingys. But is there any other ways to quit smoking? If you smoked, and now you dont..how'd you stop? Thanks and I'll rate everyone!
If you mean smoking cigarettes, then the smoking nasal spray works best, and has just recently been approved by the FDA (food drug association) and also the gum, and the patch work too. If you mean weed, then none of that stuff works, and he's going to have to stop on his own. But since you said the patch I just assumed you meant regular cigs. I've never smoked, but believe me, I have plenty of friends that do/did. Also we just studied, made a poster, and took a test on nicotine, and smoking and smokeless tobacoo and all that good stuff. So I know quite a bit about it. I would think that Nicotine Nasal Spray would work best, but I'm not sure how easy it is to get a hold of. Good luck though.
Ok this is a real question i really want to know why do girls think all guys want is sex it drives me fricken mental because i actually flipped out on someone who asked a question and said anyways dont all guys just want to get laid it drives me fuckin mental and i just want to know why they think this cause i know when i get a g/f i actually want a relationship....
P.s sorry for swearing but im just so pissed the fuck off.. and please dont just reject this question
We don't think that ALL guys want sex. We think that if an older guy is in a relationship with someone like 3 or more years younger then that's what they're after, because why the heck else would they want to date them. Or if the guy is really hot and popular, but the girl isn't, then she'll assume that's what he's after. Or because a girl has gotten hurt before when she found out the only reason her boyfriend wanted to date her was for sex, even if they were dating a long time before he brought it up. But not all girls think that way. I at least give the guy a chance. But some girls just want to protet their cardinal treasure (they said that in a movie) This is a good question, and I'd probably give it an okay rating if you asked it to the main page. Why don't you try that. Because I'm just one girl, you can get other people's and other girls opinions on this.
aiGht, well i went to tha mall with marissa and carlaa and ive been good friends wiith marissa since miidle school and she goes to a other high school now so we were meetin with her two friends brian and scott so we met with them at the foodcourt and i was walkin over to there table and there was no more chairs left so we took one from a other table and i tooked at scott and he kind of moved over so i could sit next to him and he seemed really nice and stuff so we were walkin around and he kept makin eye contact with me and we were sorta talkin alot and when we were on the escalator the two boys were infront of us and so when we got to the top they stopped so we couldnt get off and we were like piling on them and to my luck scott was infront of me so i was like on him.. so we were leaving and brian said hed drive us home but we were stopping at wendys first so brian marissa and carla were getting out and scott was like melanie are you gunna stay in the car with me? so i was like yea so we were talkin kind of then marissa and them came back and they were like so what did u guys talk about and i was like nuthin much we madeout and stuff (kiddin around) and he was like yea we didd im out of breathe then marissa and carla were kinda of being annoying and like touching his arms and they were like aww nice guns and he was like dont stop me only melanie cann.. does he like me? what can i do when i see him nextt
I think from what you've said that he likes you. I don't really know what you can do when you see each other next. He also goes to that other high school? Well if they have any sports games coming up you can all go, just sit together, cheer, and have fun. Or over a weekend go to the mall again, or go to the movies, and during the movie, most likely he'll make a pass at you, if he doesn't, then try to make one at him. Or like flirt a lot. Have your friend Marissa(?) ask Scott if he likes you. Feel his guns and stuff. Put your hand on his leg (even if that's more of something a guy would do to a girl) Tell him how you feel (or not... that might be embarassing for you or something) Just flirt a bunch. But a movie is probably the best idea, because you'll probably sit next to you, he'll probably pull the yawn, and put his arm around you thing, and maybe you can lean over him to talk to a friend, or reach over him to get some of a friends drink... that type of thing. Hope I gave you some ideas, have fun, be safe, and good luck with him!! Oh, and maybe bring a camera or stuff and take pictures, and see how many pictures he'll take, or see who he's willing to be in a picture with. Like if he'll only be in pictures with you, that type of thing. I don't really know what that proves or anything. Well good luck with Scott :-)!!
There's this dancing game DDR and its like the funnest game ever but its $60 for the pad and the game. I really want it but i dont know if i should get it. Someone Please help!!!!
I think that game is worth it!! It is a really super fun game! We played it during lunch at school (a battle of the sexes thing, of course the girls won :-P) But anyways, if you have the money, and if there isn't anything else you really wanted to spend the money on, then buy it. Dance dance revolution is super fun, and if it's raining outside, or if you're bored and home alone, then it's definitley something fun to play. In my opinion, as long as there isn't something else you want to spend your money on, then DDR is WORTH IT!
Is it wrong for me and my Pa to have sex? Hes not really my Pa hes really my brother! THanksa whole bunch.

Well seeing that you're a west virginian, it isn't too bad. But stick with the cousins.
For real now.. EWW, ummm yeah, that's gross. If you were to get pregnant by him, then it'd be your kid and your sibling, or your kid and your niece/nephew. And that'd be just plain out weird. Haha... Who is this? Do I know you?
Ok, I am a varsity high school soccer player and am trying to decide between colleges/universitys i would like to go to. i live in texas. Which school whould you pick? University of North Texas or Oklahhoma state?? help me decide
I don't know much about either, but my sisters boyfriend likes oklahoma, so that's the only reason I say that. You can though find out more information on the two colleges to see which you'd prefer. You can't have us, random strangers, decide your future, and college is your future. Which do you think has the better education oppertunities, and has the best team that you think you could work the best with, and do the best on (that is if you plan on playing in college) If you're tight on money, then it's usually cheaper to go to a school you live closer to, and then since you live in texas, if you live near that school you could always live at home, save money, work, earn money, and be financially stable. Lucky for me, even though I'm a freshman I've already narrowed my college choices down to two, and I have another 3 years to decide. But here are some links to the two colleges that might help you find what you want.
North Texas college links
Link to my search...
http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv1-&p=University+of+North+Texas Just click that link and look through whichever other links you wanna look at. But here's their official site link.

Oklahoma State college links

what are some good fonts for aim?? i have book antiqua now, but its getting boring
century gothic, tahoma, curlz MT (size 12 or 14), tempus sans, comic sans ms, kristic ITC(regular) Franklin Gothic Book, both of the franklin gothic medium's, eurostile, eras light ITC, courior, and arial. Besides the curlz MT, I used size 10 when looking at them. So they might look different if you use a size bigger or smaller than 10.
My teachers are really mad cause I miss a lot of school because Im always sick. My mom is a smoker and i always get strep and other respitory illnesses. I always make up the frickin homewrok I miss and I always pass the tests and stuff. Im a pretty good student for a 15 yr old that wud rather make out with Bin Laden then go to school. Today i went to school and went through all of my classes. When I got home my dad told me they wanted me to go to saturday school, a place they send bad kids to make up work like if they dont do their homework. I made up all the work from the last time I was absent, and none of the teachers told me about it today. Im really mad and dont know wut to do. Its for three hours tomorrow and starts at 8 30 am. I recently started a petition to end a class that a lot of people dont need called CAI, I was wondering if that might be a reason why all of a sudden I have to go to that stupid thing. SOrry if it doesnt make any sense lol... i like answering questions much more than asking them.
THANX!... I guess I rate high *shrugs* and i'll ignore bitchy ppl. l8r
Wow, that could be a possibility of why they gave you saturday school. We started a petition and our principle didn't like it very much, but we didn't get into too much trouble. I've had saturday school before. At Robinson high school in NC it isn't that bad. Besides that fact that it's 3 hours long at it starts so early in the morning. Just bring enough work. After every hour you get like a 10 minute break (we did) and we were allowed to use cell phones, use the bathroom, talk, do pretty much whatever (though the teacher was one of the nice not strict ones, you might have a mean teacher in charge that only lets you use the restroom) and then te rest of the time we worked. We couldn't have our heads down or anything. If we didn't bring work, they'd assign work. It wasn't as bad as you'd think though. But back to what you were saying, ask an administrator, or your teacher why you recieved it, and if it had anything to do with the petition. In our school if you miss saturday school w/o informing the teacher in charge (or someone in the office) ahead of time then you get suspened for a day or so. I'm not really sure what else you're asking (I also got saturday school for skipping a class though) But umm, I hope I answered your question, sorry if I like didn't answer whatever you were asking, it wasn't too hard to make sense of it, it was just hard finding the question. But if the question was " I was wondering if that might be a reason why all of a sudden I have to go to that stupid thing" then yeah, that could possibly be the reason. Have fun in saturday school :-P!!
Ok...so you know how you get a little alert after you've asked a question and someone has answered it (that little number by 'your questions')? I keep getting that, and half the time no new answers are on my question. What's up with that?
I also saw my question on the question pages and it says I have nine answers, but when I click on it and count the answers it, I only have 4.
I've noticed that lately too. I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure what it is, it's probably just some type of glitch. Or like if someone asks something to your inbox, but then deletes the question, or is banned before you answer it, it'll still say that you have one or more questions in your inbox, it could be the same thing. You might want to contact advicenator_admin about that, she might know what's going on, or she'll be able to figure it out and fix it.
Is the candy warheads still made? those are the real small circle looking candy thats really sour right.. anyways do they make them still? do you think you could get them at sams club? or where else? cuz its my friends birthday and he loves those things.. and he said he hasnt seen some for a long time
I love those things!! Of course they're still being made. Isn't sams club like the same thing as wal-mart? If not then wal-mart has them. I think targets little candy section has them too (at least the one near me) Those things are soooo good, and sooo sour!!
Hi. I have been a columnist for a little while. I have been rated 24 times and until 3 days ago my ratings were shown on my column. My rating has changed a little since I have been a columnist for over a month, with the oldest ones not being counted anymore. I know all of that. My question is, why would my rating disappear completely? I cannot see my ratings on my column but if I click View Feedback I can see all of my ratings. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day!
Well since italian... told you something you already knew, you can either try reading through the FAQ http://www.advicenators.com/faq.php?t=6
And here's another link that will show you your rating and how you were rated... http://www.advicenators.com/tools.php?feedback=1
Since neither of those links will probably have the answer, I'm sure either MFS, or advicenator_admin or any other level three mod will be of some help. Most likely advicenator_admin since she is the one who created this site. Sorry I'm not much help
Ok so I have already gone to the doctor. I am taking medicine and a mulitvitamin. I am so tired. I don't even want to hear myself say it again. I am coughing up stuff, but it doesn't seem to me like it's getting any better. The worst thing is that I cannot sing.
It's mostly congestion. I have used cough drops, Nyquil, Vapor Rub. Took 3 baths last night trying to be able to breathe more clearly so I could sleep.
If I am not better by Monday, I am definitely calling the doctor again.
So has anyone got any bright ideas to how I can feel better?
Well, in my opinion, dayquil is much better than nyquil. What did the doctor say you have? I know exactly how you feel, the week before last I was sick with allergies and stuff, I didn't see the doctor I just used dayquil and nyquil (dayquil worked better for me) When my sister was sick she used the vapor rub stuff, she said it worked for her. This week I have one of the worse cases of strep/mono/whatever else I have, that the doctor has seen in a while (that's what the dr told me) I'm been taking stuff for it, but it doesn't really help either. Really all I've been eating is Ramen Noodle soups, (anything hot or spicey helps with stuffy noses) and I've been drinking lots of milk and chocolate milk (anything cold helps with sore throats) I'm probably not telling you anything new. Just maybe like eat stuff that's got or spicey to help with congestion. I used to be in chorus, and gosh now do I wish I remember what our teacher said to do when you were sick. Just try and get your rest. I haven't been to school this week except monday and tuesday, and we have today and the upcoming monday off, for me it's a 6-day weekend (though I'm sick so it's not as fun) but for everyone else it's a 4-day weekend. Though I have no idea why I'm saying this. It has nothing to do with your question haha. Try to focus on something else. Do you use any type of nose drops/sprays. I use flonase whenever my nose is stuffy/runny/ whatever else can happen to a nose. Sorry this isn't much help. But I hope you feel better soon. I hope I feel better soon too haha. Well I hope you get some answers that are much better than mine :-P. Later!!
