My brother is 2 years and he has the flu! I am giving him medicine with my mom from a dripper like thing and he spits it out. How can I get him to drink it...
>.............

did he go see a doctor?? the doctors could definately help because since he's 2 he doesn't know that he's suppose to drink it & what not. i'd call/go see your family doctor about it.

ok. well i straighten my hair everyday. i get tired of that look. well i tried scrunching my hair but i dont look good with that. my hair is wavy/curly. my hair is arburn. (brown/red) umm i dont know how to do my hair. i have bangs and if i pin then back i was being stupid and a cut a peice of my ahir in the front so if i pin my hair back it looks gay. any ideas? my sn is ggracieex just incaseee.

ughh curly hair. i have it..a lot of it. ok what i do is curl my hair by either a curling iron er scrunching it & then leave my side bangs down & straighten em because if your bangs are curly they get really annoying ya know?? i learned that if your hair is curly, leave it curly. straightening makes it worse & the hair dresser said it gives you split ends like crazy & what not. soo juss try that.

I know my boyfriend REALLY likes me. To him, I am his number one priority and I even think he is ditching his friends so he can have more time with me.

Now, he is a pretty nice guy but he always wants me to kiss him or makeout with him. He's 14 and I know that at that age, boys hormones are racing! I can't blame him for wanting to because I know everyone feels that way sometimes.

But I'm not sure I'm ready for making out, especially in school. I don't think he is either. We both just got our first ever kisses this year. He is so nervous around me at school so he tells me to take the lead when kissing him. But I don't want to be the lead! I can't handle all of this responsibility because if I mess up, I'll feel stupid!

What should I do? Should I talk to him about this? What if he breaks up with me?

he won't break up with you for it & if he does then he's stupid because that's a really dumb reason. explain to him that you want to makeout with him er w/e but explain how you guys should start privately. it really is a private thing & a lot of people at school don't like seeing that haha =) juss tell him that you want to start off slow aka in private then work your way to public, especially in school. you juss wanna get the hang of things ya know?? that's not saying you're not moving forward. you're juss not racing to it if that makes sense. juss talk to him about it & let you know how he feels. he might even feel the same way & express how you want to work on it with him.

okay i need to know everything about a sidekick. the problem is that i have cingular and my contract wont be up for like 2 years. so i wanna know: does it work w/ cingular? even if i got an unlocked one?, how much do extras cost? [AIM, yahoo, email], sidekick vs. sidekick II? i need to know asap so anything u kno would be great!!

okay i don't have a sidekick but my friend has one. both sidekick I & II are for TMOBILE, not cingular er verison er w/e. if you want a sidekick, i'd go with sidekick II because it's the newer model. they're around $300 to actually buy it. if you don't have TMOBILE you can't get the sidekick but you can get "sidekicks" close to it like blackberry's. same thing juss look different. instant messages are free, but there's an internet fee & of course the monthly fees. here's a website-

http://www.t-mobile.com/promos/sidekickII.asp

also go on the cingular website. there's blackberry's that have the same function so you don't have to change your plan.

i'm currently changed my eating habbits. I now eat breakfast, pack my lunch (instead of eating the schools groce lunch), and for dinner i try to eat something kinda heatlhy.

ALso, on monday i startred the biggest loser dvd, it has a 6 week plan. Also i do the gazelle, lift weights(mialy legs now bc of the BL dvd), and I walk on the tread mill alot.

what are good choices for lunch & breakfast?

i usually, for breakfast, have like whole wheat cereal (yummy) or a bagel ( not heatlhy i know ) and kinda weird things.

for lunch i have like a sandwich w/turkey or chicken. sunships, nature valley bars, banana, yogurt, apple sause and other sorts of things

breakfast is your most important meal so you should eat pretty much. i'd say cereals are good such as whole wheat, special k, etc. no kids stuff haha =) hmm maybe some fruit er yogurt is really good for you. for lunch i'd say salads, light on the dressing, & wraps. like turkey & cheese wraps, er even sandwiches are good. white bread has a lot more calories than wheat bread er rye bread. that's why i think wraps are good plus they taste better. make sure you drink good amounts of water. the exercise is enough. juss keep your mind set & soda isn't good for you also. bagels are okay once in awhile but some are around 300 calories.

okay, well my friend got fingered for the first time the other day and now she's been worrying about it. she think's that she is pregnant but i'm telling her that she can't be because it's totally impossible because she didn't have sex or anything. and she hasn't gotten her period and she's 2weeks late. i told her that i think it's because she doesn't have a regular period, because she hasn't had it for over 2years and normally that's when it starts getting regular. her boyfriend only fingered her, she didn't do anything to him so i'm really not sure what to tell her except that she isn't pregnant. what do you guys think?

PS. when she got fingered after she bled alittle, and i told her that maybe he scratched her or something because you never know.

she's only pregnant if sperm was involved, but obviously it wasn't so she's not pregnant.

Who watches American Idol?
Who's your fave?
Who do you hate? Who do you think should get voted off?

i like american idol.

personally i like paris & lisa for the girls & i like most of the guys. i think the one brenda girl er w/e should get voted off. she has personality but her voice is good but average. she's not as good as some of the others.

What does "pop your cherry" mean? Like I know it has something to do with a hymen...what I'm not exactly sure what a hymen is!! Like does it just happen when you put something...up there? Does it hurt? Like what IS it? And is that a way someone can tell if your a virgin or not?? and i rate.

ok it basically is when your 'hymen' tears er w/e. i never had sex er anything, but i know a lot of girls get it torn from riding a horse, playing sports, etc. i don't think you can feel it & it probably is difficult to tell if you're a virgin er not by it since you can tear it many different ways.

OH you don't know what it is. here's a website-

Sometimes... I feel so chubby.

Well, like most young teenagers, I'm obsessed with my weight and staying healthy. Actually, it's not exactly my weight... It's just that I look kind of fat. I'm 14 years old... I stand at 5' 1" and I weigh just about 105 pounds... I never thought that I was over-weight (but am I?)... It's just I look fatter than how much I really weigh. Is that even normal? Does that even make sense?(o.O) My friends are always telling me I look fine and that I'm "skinny" but I know they're just saying that so I won't feel bad. A lot of my friends weigh more than me and are taller than me... but they look more... normal. Sometimes I just think I'm insecure... or something... Should I exercise more often? Should I try to lose just a little weight? Or am I just going crazy?

Thanks...

first off, noo you definately aren't fat. i mean you're only 5'1 & you're still only 105 lbs. that's actually good. everyone picks the bad things out about themselves. you can exercise if you want, it won't hurt you, but you're definately not overweight. i'm guessing you're a girl, soo most girls do that most of the time. a lot of girls that eat my lunch period eat nothinggg because they think they're fat when that's not the case.

13/f
Me and this guy have been best friends for like 3 years and we were really really close and i trusted him with everything. In 6th grade we went out but it was ntohign big or anything we lasted about a month. I went out with other people but in the middle of 7th grade i really started to believe that I loved him.. truely loved him. I told some of my "girlfriends" but I kept my feelings from him for a long time. Finally, he put me in the posistion where I had to tell him so I told him I loved him. For about a week we didn't talk but he said he was happy I told him. The next week he ended up with a gf who is my good friend. I never did anything wrong and he told other people that he hated me and he was never goign to talk to me again. This really hurts me becuase not only am i losing the love of my life but the best friend I ever had. What do I do??
I RATE 5's if you answered for reading all of this.

he was probably taken back that you loved him. i mean, maybe he thinks he's too young because he's probably around your age. don't get me wrong, it's good that you told him. i think it was mean of your friend to do that to you. she is your friend isn't she?? that's not how you treat a friend. if she's really going to do that, is she worth it?? i don't think so. i think you should try giving some other guys chances while they're dating. it doesn't mean you have to fall in love with someone else. juss try to take your mind off of it. put it this way, if you guys are suppose to be together you will be.

16/f. ok sorry in advance. this is sort of going to be long. alright, well i moved about 6 months ago a long way from home. there was this boy in the summer. we hung out most of the summer everyday. i told him i liked him, and he told me the same. we never went out because i ended up leaving, and we werent even that close. i still cannot get him out of my head. we dont talk anymore, but i dont know what to do. i think about him ALL THE TIME. and last night i even had a dream about him. he has a GF, but i dont have a BF because every guy that wants to go out, i compare with him, and there is no comparison. sometimes i wonder if maybe he still likes me? i dont know what to do. im so confused.

i think you should juss let it go for now. it may seem tough but it'll help you a lot in the long run. you don't wanna get hurt by it & since he has a gf it'd probably be pretty difficult to find out if he likes you. i think you should try giving other guys a chance. try not comparing. i mean a guy could be a greattt guy & you don't wanna miss out because you were too busy comparing him with that other guy. i think you should go out & give other guys a chance. you don't have anything to lose. plus, it'll probably take your mind somewhat off that guy. nothings wrong with being friends with him tho.

I picked up a free copy of AOL from Office Depot, one of those free for 90 day things. I installed it about two weeks ago, but uninstalled it after half an hour because I did not like it. According to every website and all my friends, you cannot remove AOL completely from your computer unless you reformat, and my dad has the Windows XP disk, so I do not want to tell him about my idiocy with AOL.

Two friends told me that if I did a System Restore, AOL would be gone. I've found System Restore on my computer, but I can't figure out how to work it.

Any tips or past experiences would be excellent.

AOL is a huge program so it takes a lot of time to uninstall it. i think System Restore might be a little too much, because you don't want to mess up anything else. try going to a computer place & they can probably uninstall it for you.

How much should I charge per kid for babysitting? Any suggestions, comments? This is a main concern for me right now. Thanks in advance.

most people who let you baby sit let you choose. depending on how many kids & how many hours you babysit for. i'd probably say around $7-10.

i was wondering if there is any way to see who has viewed your aim profile WITHOUT them having to click something or a link. thank you!!

uhh the only way is to use a link i'm pretty sure. what you can do is maybe leave a question at AIM.com & see if any of the people who work with it can give you a website er something.
