But I get nervous around her and tongue tied. Can people help me think what to say besides hows your day going or to compliment her cause thats really i can think about...Like a way to break the ice and ask her questions that dont seem weird but casual
If you have a class with her, you can go up to her and ask her about something that happened in class. If you miss a day of school, ask her what they did in class while you were gone. It's perfectly casual and not weird at all.
This may seem cliche, but if she drops something, pick it up and bring it back to her. I'm not saying follow her around waiting for her to drop something, but if you notice it, seize the opportunity to go up to her.
Also, if you see her sitting alone at lunch or something, go up and sit down next to her and talk to her. It's bold, but if she's sitting by herself you might as well. You've got nothing to lose.
Compliments aren't weird as long as you don't compliment her like all the time. Once or twice should be all at first. Just say something like 'Your hair is pretty today' or 'Cool shirt! Where did you get it?'
Mkay, I'm sure most of you have heard of Furcadia before. Well, i don't particularly like it. But is there any other games that are like that? Like....a social game. If you know of any..please tell me.
Try either IMVU or Maplestory.
IMVU is pretty much all social. You create an avatar and use it to chat with people. The only real 'game' part is creating outfits. Some of the outfits cost real money, but basic gameplay is free.
Maplestory is an enormous RPG. There are tons of people so you can certainly use it to socialize, but it has more to it than just chatting like IMVU.
Here is IMVU: http://www.imvu.com/
Her is Maplestory: http://maplestory.nexon.net/
okaayyy. i attempetd to cut my own bangs. im an idiot. and i wanted to give myself regular bangs not side swept ones. NOW THEIR LIKE A FRIGGEN INCH LONG! how can i fix this. please please please any ideas. im desperate. i tried to clip them back and theres always a few pieces that wont go back and they STICK OUT. i swear, i just like ruined my life. please help.
Try brushing some hair from the sides of your hair to the front, where your bangs are/were. You may need to trim that hair, but maybe you should get someone to help you with that.
If that doesn't work, go to Walmart or someplace that carries hair care stuff and buy some extensions. It'll be really awkward having them in the front, but it may be better than what you have now.
I have this school dance coming up next month. My best friends ex-boyfriend likes me and I like him. I told my best friend that I couldn't do that to her by dating him. She told me I don't care about him anymore. I started to say okay when I had just remembered that a little while ago in fifth period everyone was talking about how weird it was that she had asked him if they could get back together.I thought how long ago that was and then said okay. My first question is should I believe her when she says she doesn't like him anymore? Then at lunch he asked who I was going to the dance with I said no one and asked why he asked he said just was wondering.Second question if he is afraid to ask me to the dance,what should I say in order to dawn to the question want to go to the dance with me so he might just ask me.
She is probably lying when she says she doesn't have feelings for him anymore. Of course, she wouldn't want to tell you because she either doesn't want to hold you back from dating her ex or she doesn't want people to know that she still feels that way for him. Whether you still want to date him when she still has feelings for him is up to you. I suggest you sit down with her somewhere private (or just have an IM/text/email conversation) about how she would feel about you dating him. Friends are more important that guys; it would be really sad and silly if you lost a friend over a guy.
If you decide to go to the dance with him after you talk to your friend, try dropping some hints when you talk to him. Just give little hints, nothing too obvious. So say things like, " I really want to go to the dance, but no one's asked me,' or 'Hey, who are you going to the dance with?' If all else fails, just ask him if he wants to go with you to the dance. It's a little unorthodox, but the worst he can do is say no, and him turning you down is better than him never figuring out that he should ask you to the dance.
alright so i have a boyfreind who i care about very much. hes in college like 3 hours away and im still in high school.
over the weekend i went to visit my freind up at a differnet college. well i was very drunk and i made out with this guy. i really dont even remember it much, and it was a HUGE mistake.
well before i even had a chance to tell my boyfreind for myself, my freind told him what happened, and now i don't know what to do.
Talk to your boyfriend as soon as possible! Ideally, you should have been the first to tell him, but since that's not an option just call him as soon as you can. Otherwise, it will seem like you are trying to avoid the issue or even hide it completely. When you talk to him, explain to him everything that happened and emphasize the fact that you were DRUNK and had very little control over your actions. Tell him how bad you feel about betraying him. You have betrayed his trust and of course this is going to really upset him, but hopefully your bond with each other is strong enough to see you through this.
Well the past couple of weeks I've been crying like every night and everyday and most of the time I end up crying myself to sleep, and I don't know why. I think I'm upset because my fiance's been at NTC (Training) And I'm worried about him and missing him but I never cried before. I don't think I'm severely depressed but I don't know, is this a health problem or do I just miss him?
It's natural to worry about your fiance, but if you are crying yourself to sleep every night you've probably got a problem beyond just normal worries. You may not be severely depressed, but you could still be depressed. Even if this only seems to be a problem while he is away, it won't hurt to talk to a doctor about whether you may need treatment.
my best friend killed himself a couple weeks ago. I was fine untill his funeral, it hit me, so hard. Of course its right to greive, and its gonna hurt me. but before, this kid put me into depression, cause he was suicidal, and i heard him tell me goodbye and try to kill himself in front of me so many timess.. i feel as though i am goin back into depression, i went through it before, but its so hard to get out of it. Ive been havin the same symmptons, im always tiredd..dont care about anything, one little thing comes my way i break down, dont care about eating, just lack of effort towards anythingg.
im going back to councelingg, but idk if that can help
any advice on what i can do, or should do. idk im just so confused and worried
The best thing I can tell you is to start a huge project that means something to you. Maybe you could start a suicide awareness program or something of the sort in memory of your friend. If you are artistic, you could start an art project or write a poetry book. All of these take an enormous amount of effort to get started, especially if everyday tasks are a problem for you. But if you can get something started and keep it going, and really dedicate yourself to it you will really feel better. It's always good to have a purpose in life.
Also, keep a journal or a diary. Write whatever you want in it; get mad at people, grieve for you friend, write about things that make you happy, whatever you want! Just get your emotions out as much as you can. If you work with your counselor then you will already be getting them out, but counseling sessions usually aren't that long, so it would be good to keep a journal on the side for when your counselor/therapist just isn't available.
Always remember not to blame yourself for what your friend's suicide. He made his choice and nothing can change it now. What's done is done. All you can do now is try to keep strong.
okay so I'm running for student body president at my school. I have to write a speech and right now im just trying to get ideas but I'm totally stuck. So i was just wondering... what are some things in your school that you like? or dislike? or what are some things you would like to see? stuff like that. Because I just need some ideas then i can use some and put them into ideas for my speech or whatever. so if you could help that would be great!
My school has pretty much everything, so let me give you a few ideas based on what we have.
Clubs are always a good idea. After-school activities look good to colleges, and they can be fun too. Most schools have an Honor Society and sports, but maybe you could introduce the idea of student-run clubs. So like, if ten kids like writing and they got a teacher to sponsor their club, they could meet after school like once a week. If you don't already have this, you should really try it out.
Also, my school has a student-run cafeteria separate from the main one. All the food is from local restaurants and that cafe makes a LOT of money. This may not be easily done, but it's something to think about.
Depending on where you are, recycling is good too. All you need to do is get bins from a local collection center and bring them in like once a week or so. If there are a lot of environmentally friendly kids at your school, they will love you for putting in recycle bins or offering to. If you already have bins but only a few, get a few more!
Our school has barbecues on certain days to support one of the clubs. You could try organizing monthly barbecues, where all of the profit goes to putting something amazing into the school (like more sports stuff, a study room, a sitting area, you get the idea).
Those are all in place already at my school and everyone loves them, so I would give it a try. Just don't make any promises you can't keep.
ok i am buying my first cell phone. originally i was set on just getting pay as you go but then i came across this plan from wal mart
http://walmart.letstalk.com/product/product.htm?prId=32018&corpId=509
i mean im not stupid i know them phone is not really completely free but it says free with $39+ plan purchase for 2 years and i think thats pretty good for a chocolate and ive wanted one forever. but i want to know what happens after 2 years, are there any other hidden payments that verizon has in store for me??
anyone who has done a contract with verizon please advise me on this i really dont want to make the wrong decision
thanks so much
=)
I have Tmoble so I can't tell you much about the contract for Verizon.
However, let me give you a little warning about Chocolates. My friend got one in March and it started having little spaz attacks a few months ago. The screen would go fuzzy and it would randomly call someone from her Contact List when she opened the phone or when she tried to text people. I don't know if this is a common problem with Chocolates, but be careful before you buy it. If the phone stops working, you'll have to buy another one and there will probably be some hidden fees to transfer your plan to another phone.
how come on TV they have to block out the "Suicidal" part a lot? why cant they say suicidal on TV? is this some new sort of cuss word? lol explain
Some people think that hearing about suicide can influence people into actually commiting it. It sounds ridiculous, but that's how some people think. Taking the word out of every place it shows up is nuts, but what can you do but just deal with it?
my mom has been with this guy for about four years, they recently got married and my family moved in with him. Before they got married he was always nice to us by buying us things we need and taking care of or probelms financially. Now that we moved in with him its been a living hell. He treats my mother like shit and can never have a convesation without screaming at her. i can see that my mother is very upset and im trying to figure out how to confront this situation. Please give me some advice
The main thing to worry about is whether or not he is abusive. If he hits your mom or anyone else in your house, you need to tell a teacher at school or even call the police if it ever gets too bad.
If he's just being a pain to live with, you should definitely talk to your mom. Ask her if she knew what might cause him to act like this, and if he is really horrible, you might want to try to convince her to divorce him.
If divorce isn't an option, you need to have a family meeting and try to figure out why he is so rude and angry now. It may be that now they are married he doesn't have a reason to be nice. That's disgusting, but some men do that. He may also be depressed. My dad used to scream at my mom a lot, but he talked to his doctor and the doctor told him he was depressed. He got on medication and he doesn't shout anymore.
He could be acting this way for any number of reasons. The best thing to do is to arrange a talk with him, with you and your mom and whoever else is in your house. If he won't say that something is wrong, or he won't be reasonable long enough for you to point out how he is acting, your mom should think about divorce or marriage counseling.
How do u know if u like a boy more than good friends? I don't think I like my best guy friend more than good friends but he likes me. So how can i tell?
You are the one who can answer that question the best. If you don't think you like him that way, you probably don't. That doesn't mean you can't learn to like or love him, but that's something you have to figure out. Everybody's different. ;D
If you still aren't sure, picture yourself kissing or doing something else romantic or sexual with him. If the thought of it grosses you out or seems a little wrong, you probably don't like him. But if the idea turns you on, you probably have some sort of feelings for him. Good luck!
I need a name for my main character.
The character is a spoiled brat that gets everything she wants. She throws tantrums and is spoiled to death!
What kind of name describes this?
Thanks and hope it isn't a difficult question.
It would help to know what sort of story you're writing. If it's fantasy, then made-up names (or names that come from dead languages) that aren't used in real life might be better, and real names might be better for most anything else.
Real-life names that make me think spoiled are Rebecca, Brittany, Ashley, Rachel, or something similar. These names just sound more pretentious to me.
I'm not good at fantasy names. XD Sorry about that. But if you need more names, type 'baby names' or something like that into Google. There are a lot of websites dedicated to helping people choose names, and they have the meanings of the names, too.
I've had my own problems with naming characters. I hope you find the perfect name! ;D
ok well i think im pregnant but i took a pregnancy test today and it came up negative but i still just have this feeling that i am and if i were i would be 5 weeks so maybe im not and its all in my head and my period is late should i just wait antoher week and try it again or something
If your period is only one week off, then you should wait a bit longer to be sure. Who knows, maybe your period will start in a day or two?
Try again in one week, and one week after that until your period starts or you get positive results with the test (hopefully not).
If you have reason to think that you are pregnant (like, you had unprotected sex or the condom tore), then keep trying the pregnancy tests until your period starts. Also, be more careful when you have sex in the future. If you didn't use a condom in the past, use one from now on. Unfortunately, you can really only hope that the condom doesn't tear.
Good luck with this. Hopefully your period will start soon so you wont have to keep worrying.
About a year ago I stopped eating meat and wearing leather. My parents are foreign and don't understand it at all. They bought me a jacket and it's lovely. On the tag it says "genuine leather- 100% nylon, 100% polyester."
I know genuine leather means real leather but my friend told me that nylon and polyester are vegan? I don't understand how that works.
Is the jacket real leather or fake? Can leather be REAL if it's not made from animals?What is nylon and polyester??
and the jacket wasn't too expensive and I know real leather is supposed to be really expensive.
Help me please :)
If it says that it's made up of 100 percent of two different things, then it's probably not made up of leather. Nothing can be 200 percent of anything! And leather definitely does not contain nylon or polyester.
All I can tell you is, feel the jacket. If it feels like animal skin, it probably is. Compare the feel of it to the feel of a real leather jacket. That's the only way to tell if it's really leather.
Please read all of this. I really do need help and a second opinion, and I have no one to talk to.
I'm 15, 5'1 and 135 pounds. I have a petite frame, and obesity runs in my family. I used to weigh less, and I know it shows that I am heavier than I used to be but when I look in the mirror I don't see myself as fat and obese. I just don't know if others see me that way and I just don't realize it. I went to the doctor three weeks ago when they told me how much I weighed and how tall I was. The nurse said my weight was perfect for my height, but the frantic research that I've done says otherwise. Sometimes I get really down on myself and begin to see it, but I don't know.
I think I've gained weight because during school I ate a lot because of stress and the cafeteria, but this summer I've been cutting back A LOT. I've been ordering healthier items when I eat out, I've stopped eating between meals, and I've stopped eating when I'm not hungry. Sometimes I slip, but... overall I think I'm doing a decent job. Hopefully, I've lost at least 2 to 3 pounds but I have no way to be sure since I have no clue where the scale in my house is.
Bottom line is, I don't want to beat around the bush or anything so I'm just going to ask. Do you think I'm "fat?" I've been really sad lately because I've been accessing these internet BMI calculating websites that have been mostly saying "I'm at risk of being overweight." One even said I was overweight by 25 pounds. But according to one of my friends, they thought I looked around 110 or so.
I don't know if it's all relative or not. Do people just carry their weight differently? My friend is 5'6 and weighs 140. She also eats much more unhealthy than I do, and no offense at all to her, but she does look somewhat heavier than I do. Not but much, but she does. But she only weighs 5 pounds more than I do and she's 5 inches taller. I just don't understand.
Thanks in advance, God bless.
I will tell you honestly that, if obesity runs in your family, you might have trouble with your weight in the future, especially because you are less than average in terms of height.
However, you seem to be doing a good job by watching what you eat, as long as you don't go so far as to skip meals. If you want to make sure you don't gain more weight in the future, get a little more exercise.
I don't think you are fat. I'm 5' 2" and 15 years old, and I weigh 120 pounds with a pant size of 5-7. Everyone carries their weight differently, depending on how large their bone structure is, where their body stores fat, their height, and a lot of other factors. BMI gives you an idea of how overweight/underweight you may be, but this is only a rough estimate, so don't panic if it says you are at risk of becoming overweight. If your doctor really thought you were overweight or at risk, they would talk to you about diet and lifestyle changes, but I take it that they haven't, and you can trust your doctor's opinion.
If you are still worried about whether or not you are fat, you can always ask your doctor next time you see them. A good doctor will give you an honest answer, whether or not it is the nicest thing to say (so you can trust them when they tell you that you aren't fat ;D).
Personally, even though I don't know you and am certainly not a doctor, I really don't think you're overweight. Don't worry so much about it!
quick question.
i want to streach my ear hole, but the hole i got when i was a baby the 1st piercing its a standerd earing probly done with a gun.
what guage is a standerd ear piercing????
thanxx
i want to up to a 00 gauge but, from a standerd ear piercing, what guage shall i go up too the 1st time i use the tool to streach it?
srry if this is confuseing
I think most standard earrings are 20 gauge, sometimes 18 gauge. I would buy an 18 gauge set to start and see if they are uncomfortable in your ear. Just keep increasing the gauge size as slowly or quickly as you feel comfortable with until you reach your goal. 00 is pretty big, so at some point increasing the gauge is going to start hurting more. Just remember to take it slow and keep the earrings in as much as possible. Good luck.
is it normal to feel depressed sometimes, without any reason...you just feel depressed, and sometimes, you cry but you don't know why, you just feel like crying sometimes, and you get very depressed...
It depends on how depressed you get and how often it happens. It's normal for people to get upset if something bad or stressful happens. However, if you are getting depressed for no reason at all, and this is happening often (as in once a week or more), you should talk to your doctor. Your doctor can help you decide what to do to make these moments stop coming as often.
Most of all, if you personally don't think anything is happening to you right now to make you feel this way, it's probably depression. At least talk to someone about it now, because it will just get worse with time.
Is "Abercombie" out of style?
And what about side bangs?
I just got clothes from abercombie. And i got sidebangs. So im not sure if im just paroniod or something.
please and thank - you :)
I wouldn't know if it's in style or not, but if you like to wear the clothes and think the sidebangs look good, stay with them. Your own opinion of yourself matters more than other people's opinions, no matter who tries to tell you otherwise. Just wear what you want and don't try so hard to be like everyone else.
My mom always trimmed her toenails incorrectly when she was younger. So she won't take me to a doctor to fix it. She made me soak my feet in a water full of epsom salt. What will that do to my toe?
I trimmed my toenail, thinking it would stop hurting. Wrong-o.
Then she said something about digging into the skin in my nail and ripping out the nail. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? no one said ANYTHING about that.
I don't want to leave it untreated because I don't want an infection or anything.
I'm actually not sure if IT IS an ingrown toenail though. I've seen pictures and my nail doesn't even look like it.
Help?
How do you get rid of an ingrown toenail without surgery or whatever?
I've been taking ibuprofen, but doesn't do much.
Should I wear socks?
My dad and I both have this problem. Let the nail grow out, and when you trim it, trim it towards the middle and don't cut the part on the edge that goes into you skin. If you cut that part it will grow back even more messed up. Also, be sure to wear loose, clean shoes and change your socks daily. This cuts down on the sweat and other nasty things that can build up around your foot, and it gives your toe room to grow properly. Lastly, pour hydrogen peroxide over it every so often. This will keep your toe cleaner by killing bacteria.
Hopefully this will help. It works for me. My toes don't hurt anymore as long as I do these things.
