SO i got this huge bug bite on the back of my leg and I have no idea what its from, or if it even is a bug bite. Its hard, and the size of like 4 quarters. Does anyone have any idea what it could be, and how I can make it go away? Thanks
judging by the size of it, it could be a spider bite. if it keeps getting bigger/swelling/whatever, i'd go to the doctor immediately. you could have gotten bit by a spider in your sleep, and the longer you wait to treat those bites, the longer it takes to heal. i doubt it's deadly, but my best friend's sister was bit by a spider on her thigh one time and her flesh turned black around the bite. this more than likely won't happen to you because she got bit by a deadly spider, but monitor it closely. after all, it could just be a bite from a massive mosquito or something. if it itches, i'd try getting benadryl spray. also, make sure there's not a stinger or anything still in there. you could have gotten bit by a bug that you're allergic to, so take that into consideration. i'd go to the drug store and see if they have any bug bite remedies. but if it gets worse, go to the doctor.
Does anyone know any yearbook themes? I'm really stressed out about it and it would be cool if there were some recommendations. Thanx
i'm the editor of my school yearbook this year. the theme we chose was "not your average..." because our school is going through a lot of construction and remodeling and we have a buttload of new teachers (so basically it's saying that our school isn't the same anymore). last year we chose the theme "pine tree & you" (my school's name is pine tree) but that theme sucked. it was basically like, the year through the school's eyes. and the headlines for the pages were like "novels & nouns" for language arts pages and things like that. at the end of the year each staff member has to make a "personal yearbook" which is pretty much a scrapbook, but you use the same rules and guidelines as the actual yearbook. but you choose your own theme. the theme i chose this past year was "what a difference a year makes" because i love the song of the same title. there are many websites that have huge lists of themes, as well. i actually keep a packet of different themes in the yearbook computer room at school, so i don't have it with me. i would recommend having a brainstorming session with your staff and talking about what's going on in the school this year. for example, when my school had its 150th anniversary, the theme for the yearbook was "time for..." so it's always really cool to incorporate stuff like that. i hope your yearbook turns out awesome! :)
about 3 months ago, i was diagnosed with leaukemia=[. the doctor told me that i am gonna die after my 8th month. is he allowed to tell me this? he just flat out said... " in about 8 months your gonna die ", he made me my mom my dad and my brother cry. so anyways.... can he tell me this... and can i like sue him for it?
f/13
he can tell you that, and no you can't sue him. i'm dreadfully sorry that this is happening to you, and i'll keep you in my prayers. however, what the doctor says isn't always true; it's just his opinion. you may live until you're 85. nobody knows that kind of stuff. just don't give up hope because it's not over yet. god bless you.
Ok, so this summer I have gotten into shape, and really toned down, especially my legs. Last year I wore like a size 6-8, and now, since school's about to start, I'm trying on some of my old jeans (I haven't worn them since school got out since it's so hot), and they DO NOT FIT. They're hanging on me. I need a belt to keep them up, and still it makes me look like I have absolutely NO butt. All I have to wear to school now is a couple pairs of shorts and a couple skirts. I have no long jeans that fit me anymore!! What should I do, my mom won't buy me jeans til fall so that they fit me when it's time to wear them--but I need them NOW! What should I do, wait it out? Or should I raise some money myself? thankyou
you could raise money yourself, but i really think you should wait it out. i don't know how helpful this will be, but you can roll up your jeans into bermuda shorts or capris, which would make them look better, or you could even cut them into bermuda shorts. fall isn't too far away, but if you wait until then you won't have to spend your own money on jeans. since you said that you have shorts and skirts already, you can always wear those until fall and like once or twice a week you can wear your long jeans (rolled up or whatever). if you already have some money you can always go buy like 1 or 2 pairs of jeans to last until fall. but if you think about it, that's a good problem to have- jeans not fitting because you've toned down :) anyway, fall isn't too terribly far away and you might even be able to convince your mom to buy you some jeans that fit before then.
I'm 13 and jsut starting cheerleading this year and I was wondering: What type of clothing is good for cheerleading practice? I know definitely soffe shorts, and I also have nike sneakers. What are good brands or types of tank tops/ t-shirts are good for practice but aren't extremely expensive. Also if you have any other kinds of shorts that would help too. THanks!
I'm in the marching band at school and we march like 2 hours every day in the morning (I live in Texas) so it's really hot and stuff. Most of the girls wear Soffe shorts, like you said, and either old t-shirts OR these like $5 wife beater-type tank tops you can get at Target. They're by Mossimo, I think and they come in all different colors for really cheap. Wal-Mart probably has them too. I don't really know of any other types of shorts that are better than Soffe shorts, though. Many of my friends are in dance and they wear Soffe's and wife beaters all the time to dance. Hope I helped and good luck this year :)
killing animals, then skinning them for furs/coats/jackets etc. is wrong. is it still considered wrong if you keep the animal until it grows old and dies and then you skin the animal to make a new jacket/coat/etc. ? i'm really curious.
in my personal opinion, waiting until it dies isn't wrong. if you want to think of it this way, it's recycling. i haven't ever really thought of this before because skinning animals freaks me out a little bit, but there shouldn't be anything wrong with it unless you think that it's wrong. it just all depends on what you think, and if you want to make a coat out of an animal that just died, then you have the right to do that. but i think that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. it just creeps me out when people kill animals exclusively to skin them. however, in hunting season i think hunting is important because it would be bad if some species were overpopulated. and most hunters use the meat anyway. sorry, off subject, but i really don't see anything wrong with it.
Ohk i ahd answered a question on here && the person rated me a 5 for the advice.
I come home today && someone left something in my inbox saying the adivce i had given was crap & i shouldnt of given them the advice.
The question was About should i have sex because my friends are having sex && its Causing me to want to have sex. And she asked for stories about our past experiences. I left stories about why not to have sex. & that you shouldnt have it because of pressure or because of friends.
Why do People bother leaving something in your inbox telling you that your advice sucks if the person you gave it to liked it.
why do people do that? because they suck. i wouldn't pay attention to it, but file an abuse report if you feel the need to do so. otherwise i'd just let it go in one ear and out the other... or, i guess, in one eye and out the other. i would ignore it if i were you, though. and if they keep pestering you, i'd tell them to shove it.

Sorry for the length and for it not being very well written...
I've been doing theater since 1st grade at school (and have gotten 8/10 leads). I'm changing to a different school where I hear the theater program is really serious and intense. The only problem is that my chest voice isn't too good.
My friends say that I am AMAZING at singing. That's with my "throat" voice. With my chest voice I have to sing really low, and I barely have any range at all. I want to get a good part, but how can I develop my chest voice to perform theater songs in a more intense and serious environment? Can I use my "throat" voice because it's much better and loud, but I'm not sure if it's loud enough.
PLEASE help!!
i think that to really develop your chest voice, you need to take voice lessons. voice teachers know all about that kind of stuff and can probably help you more than a group of random advice columnists :) haha. i'm not actually in theater, but i am in a military marching band. we always have to yell and use chest voices. i'm a 120 pound girl and i have to yell like a 200 pound man. basically what we do is "bark", and our drum majors taught us to take the sound from our chest and just let it rip. when they yell commands and stuff, they sometimes even have to lean backward and dip down to get the sound out. they're both girls and not only do they have to have big voices, but they also have to project the sound over a 200 person band. so i think you should practice using a huge voice... even if it's just like standing outside and screaming to get your voice warmed up. i don't know how helpful this really is, but i hope you get leads at your new school. :)

Me and a friend, lets call her Ann, have been friends since kindergarden. But now we never see eachother, hardly talk, and really have nothing in common. Then a week ago we had an agrument, I don't remember how it started, but I said she changed and started caring what the popular people thought and really wanted to be popular. When people started wearing their jackets backwards, she followed. When people started wearing converse, she did. When I told her I was getting an Ipod, she went out and got an mp3 player. She even said she was going to throw a party and make sure she invited some 'popular' people!! Then I asked why she wanted to be popular, they were just rude. She said she had some popular friends and they were nice. But they're not, hello I know them! Now we are not talking and she says I am wrong. So answer this: How can I be wrong if everything I said was true?
i understand your point, and theoretically you're right. however, if your best friend wants to be a lemming... that's her business really. there's not really anything you can do about it, except for confront her about it and you've already done that. what you can do is agree to disagree. you should talk to her and explain that you don't really like what she's doing but you will continue to support her as a friend. if she starts to treat you like scum then definitely confront her again. but until then, it's her life that she's screwing up and you've already warned her about it. hopefully within the next year she'll turn around... after all, you two are 13. something like this happened to me when i was 12, and one of my best friends and i fought for a whole year. now, we're even greater friends because of this. so don't stress yourself out over this because you still have time to make it better. good luck :)
ok for some reason whenever i sign onto my aim screenname, it says someone else is also on it. I always kick the other user off, but I just want to know how to stop this from happening. DO NOT say to change my password because ive already changed it 3 times in the past 2 days. Its not working. Thanks ♥
if you use your screenname on two different computers, then that might be why, though i doubt it. your screenname could be linked to somebody else's screenname, so when they sign on it signs you on too. if you know for sure it's not, then i don't know what to tell you except get a new screenname. i think you should ask any of your friends if they have your password or have ever logged into your screenname though.
ok this might be a little strange, but when i think of something, it's always a color... i have colors for names, the time, days of the week, letters, up/down, brands, seasons, states, and even north/south/east/west. a lot more things too.. i don't obsess over them, but i think about them often. im just wondering what it all means? is this abnormal?
have you ever heard of synaesthesia? it's when you associate colors with certain things... i read a book about a girl that had colors for sounds. it's not abnormal, and many people have it (i'm not saying you do, i'm just bringing it up if you think you have it). here's a link to more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaesthesia
I am a 15 yr. old female who has a boy friend. I am going over to his house on sunday. He wants, me to come prepared w/ a list of things to do. Everything has to be at his house And i have no idea what we should do. Please help me out. He is giving me till sat. night to come up w/ a list of things and he said that it better be a good one. Please help me out so that i can impress him. NO SEX!!!!!
board games, watch a movie, "i never...", take pictures, have a picnic, just sit outside, play basketball (if he has a basketball goal?), play in the sprinklers, bake a cake, play video games, just talk... stuff like that! if he has a pool table or a ping pong table then y'all can play that too.
How far do you think is too far when it comes to changing for your boyfriend? Is it the hair, the clothes, the attitude & friends?! I need to know.
you shouldn't have to change anything unless you sincerely want to. if he says, "oh, your hair would look so beautiful if it were red." and you really want to dye your hair red, then go for it. but if you just change yourself because he says to, that's bull. i know a girl that changed completely for her boyfriend (we're talking, preppy chick turned cutter that wears black all the time and dyed her hair black). she used to be a nice girl but then she turned into a slut. then he broke up with her and now she's really screwed up. so just be what you want to be, and if you want to change something about yourself, then go ahead... but don't change if you don't want to.
Okay so I have this friend who I horseback ride with and she's three years younger than me. Well, you wouldn't think that would matter because she acts more mature thatn she really is and it's almost like she keeps me in touch with my innocnet side. (at our age, 3 years is a big difference). However, every time I mention her, my best friend goes, "Ew, you're 5th grader?!" (going into 6th)So my question is is the age difference okay?
yes, it's perfectly okay. and tell your best friend (who said "ew, your 5th grader?!") to SHOVE IT. when i was going into the fifth grade, i was hanging out with seventh graders and we would spend the night at each other's houses and bake muffins and stay up all night. we're still really good friends. so no, it doesn't matter. as a matter of fact, i have friends in the fifth grade and friends that are seniors. so does age matter? no, it doesn't. i think your best friend is probably thinking the whole "seniority rules" type thing, when in reality, that's a load of crap. yeah, seniority does rule as far as getting in the lunch line first and getting dismissed first, but seniority can't touch friendships.
I had really bad acne so I went to a dermatologist and they gave me some really good things to rid of the zits. I guess I used them too much and I completely dried out my face. My nose and cheeks are soo red because I irritated my face. I went back to the dermatologist and they said to just stop putting stuff on my face and wait for 2 or 3 days to see if the redness goes away. It's been like 4 days and my face is still soo dried out and the zits are still there. What can I do to stop the irritation on my face? I waited a couple of days and that didn't work.
okay, get some face moisturizer/lotion to put on your face. it will restore the moisture to your skin and hopefully make it look better. as for the zits, it may take them a while to go away. i know that for the face medicine differin, it's supposed to really dry out your face before it actually starts working so this doesn't mean that your acne will never go away, it just might take a while. wait until your skin is back to normal and then start using the medicines again, but also apply a face moisturizer (like oil of olay or neutrogena) regularly with use of the face medicine. do this for a while and you'll start seeing results!
what are the best ways to learn the words to a song? and good tips??
it helps me to print out the lyrics and just sing it over and over again. listen to the song a few times and then try to sing it without music. just keep trying if you can't get it right. it really helps me to write down the words, like after you print them out. and just keep rewriting them on sheets of notebook paper. i don't know, it just helps me memorize stuff for school and everything. good luck :)
14/f. i babysit A LOT for my neighbors. but whenever i babysit them i always eat sooo much. even if i'm not hungry i eat. like if i have to feed the kids, i'll eat. and even if i'm not feeding the kids and they are watching tv i will go into the kitchen and eat. whatever i eat is always junk food. like cookies, chips, candy, etc. what can i do to take my mind off of eating while i'm there? i've tried bringing gum with me to chew when i think about eating, but that doesn't work. HELP!
bring a big water bottle. every time you think about getting food, just drink water. not only does it make you not hungry (when you're not supposed to be hungry), but it's healthy. you can also bring a book or homework or something to do while the kids are playing to keep your mind off of food.
my sister is 2 grades ahead of me and almost 3 inches taller, and we weigh the same. should i be losing weight? every inch in your height is supposed to be 5 pounds, so that means i should lose 15 pounds to be a healthy weight, right? i'm so confused. help would be much appreciated, thanks.
go to www.am-i-fat.com and it has all different kinds of weight tables based on height and build. and just so you know, my sister and i weigh the same and she's 1 inch taller and 8 years older. so it's not weird or anything.
what does having your cake and eating it too mean?
kind of like what the columnist below said, and also it's like... when two people disagree, and one person doesn't want to compromise and everything goes their way. then they have their cake and eat it too. it's like getting your way completely, regardless of what other people need/want.
