Im 20 years old, I have faced many obstacles and problems that I have had to go through alone with no help and the help I recieved wasn't ever any good. I have faced women problems, friends moving, suicide, killings, deaths, car accidents, sibling rivals, fighting, weird hobbies, my best friends being raped. I have been through a little of everything and I was the one many of them turned to so I like to help out.

Hobbies: I do a lot of work in recording studios, and video/editing studios so I know film pretty well. I am a director/producer. Thats what I am in school for, to further my knowledge of set production for I am a pre production wizard. I read a lot so I have knowledge. And more.

Education: I graduated at the top 15 percent of my class in high school which was college prep, and right now im in my 3rd year od college. I have an AA degree in media arts, a 6 month screen writing certificate from NYFA. I am 11 months from my BA in FILM and HDTV, and I am a semester away from an International Business Degree.

SO if you have any questions im polite and easy to talk with and you can ask me any question you have, I will be honest no matter what.

Ok so when im at school and im around my friends im fine speaking and all, but if im talking in front of groups or just random people i just blank out or say something stupid like, when the principal shook my hand and said congratulations i said," Nice to meet you." Is that normal? (link)
Yes its extremely normal for people to do that when they are talking with complete strangers or random people. Its like when your meeting a famous person for the first time everything you know that doesn't involve them kind of fades away and leaves you with saying something totally irrelevant. So yes people do tend to do what you are doing.

why do people want to have sex so badly????????? (link)
Well first of all its sugar coated by the media, so that is the primary reason. But over all its an enjoyable experience if you have had sex before. But its because sex is portrayed as a sport and not something that comes with many resposibilities and possible consequences.

my best friend has 2 other bff and i just got used to it! but i can't stand one of them! no offence to my bff but i don't know what she is thinking! this girl is everything you would not want in a friend!
what should i do? (link)
Actually,its not your decision in the end. And how do you know what is always good for your friends. Sometime they need to make mistakes to help them learn. And maybe there is a reason she is hanging out with her. But the best thing to do is confront her, don't be around the bush (if you know what I mean). Thats the point of friends they should always be honest.

Hi my name is Bailey, i am 13 yrs. old and in the 7th grade. I would like to be either a dancer, singer,poem writter, or a film maker. I like doing all of theese things what should i do to figure out which path i should take to find my career (link)
Dear Career,

Well your still young so you have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do. The question is which one do you feel most connected with. I will not tell you to don't think about your future at your age because I was the same as you when I was 13, all I thought about was my future. Another question is when your older how much do you want to make? Like dancers make money only if you are awesome (its like soccer players you have to be awesome not good, so its hard to get good money. To be a singer its not as hard you just need to practice get in a band or recording studio and do your thing, get noticed at a club and get noticed, but since the industry is going through a rough time right now you might want to make sure your sound and lyric stand out and is completely different than todays music. Poem writters don't make much money only because most of your work is never published or seen until your death (take emily dickinson for example) so putting food on your table is going to be hard. As for being a film maker you make money (I am going into directing so I'm already a amature director) I could tell you so much about this job, but the things you need to know are things you cannot learn from a book, only by making your own mistakes. So with that in mind if money is your object of desire look what I told you above, but if its all about passion do each one to the max and find out which one you feel more connected to, which on can you see yourself doing for the rest of your life?

Just do what you love and the rest of your life will fall into place.

As the question says. :) Not to toot my own horn or anything like that, but I consider myself a good writer, as do my teachers. Essays, articles, parodies and reports get consistently excellent marks. However, I've desired to write creative stories, specifically fanfiction, for a long time, but I'm having trouble writing anything. Last time I've written fanfic was at 14; now I'm 17, and I'm afraid I've lost any spontaneity and skill I might've had. I don't believe imagination to be the problem, but I have trouble writing them out onto paper/computer, and I also have the problem of being too self-critical, so I'm constantly editing and deleting things (which doesn't do much for progress!). Does anybody have any suggestions to help? (link)
Dear Creative,


Whats up?Well trust me I know the feeling of being stuck in a rut, especially the rut you are in. I used yo write tons of Fanfiction when I was 14( I'm a male) just to get my creative juices flowing. And like you I took a break and I got back into it in a sad way (I watched a few of the Lizzie McGuire Espisodes) when I finished I wrote my own Episode with what I would want to see happen. Thats how I got back into it, and now its easy to write whatever I please. Also the problem with you is it seems as if you are off direction, like you know what you want to write about you just can't seem to get the "work" to flow the way you want to. The best way to get your creativety back is pick a TV show (any one). Then add yourself into the show, and treat it like a story.

i really really want to be popular in school!! i want more than anything to be in the popular group and everytime i try i get even nerdier!! what can i do??? PLEASE HELP!!!


WANNA BE (link)
Wanna be-

Take it from someone who was in the popular group since the 2nd grade, its not worth it. its nothing like you think it is and normally have have to be able to contribute to the group in many ways. Like I DJed at the hottest Club in my state since I was in 9th grade, I had hook ups to all the concerts, movies, signings. I also could get anyone into a recording studio or meet an agent. Its a vicious group we talk behind each others backs and people who aren't popular as well. People in the poular group have to act a certain way like there is the pretty girl who sleeps around, the guy who can get you drugs, people like me who could do anything and get you anything, and people who were jocks and cheerleaders and biggest stoners. The best thing to do is be yourself and be happy you have real friends because after high school none of it matters no one cares who you were and what you did, your jsut another person. But if you are desperet I guess there are many things to can do. Get a cool job for one, everyone loves people who can get them discounts and hook ups. Seconds be a trendie know the fashion of what is cool and know music because in the cool group there is no saying "oh I listen to Hilary Duff" (sorry no need to offend if you do because this kids believe they are above anything that could hurt them by admitance). And if your a girl learn to be Bitch but not a rude one, at least until your in the group, if a male be a jock and you will be fine. And the last make sure you can look like a really hot person.

im 14, so obviously im growin up, but my dad cant seem 2 accept dat i am! he says he doesnt want boys near me, n that im still a little girl. i know he just does it coz he luvs me, but i dont want him to treat me like a kid all my life! (link)
Girl get over it, your father will always be the same. My sister get out of school at 10:30 at night she lives by herself and my father has her call him when she get to the car and when she gets into her home. ALl fathers do this to their daughters, its hard to let go and its not that he doesn't respect you changing its just you are still his daughter and in todays world Im surprised he does lock you up (JK). But talk with him about it he will understand but you must be willing to understand where he is coming from.

well,my boyfriend is not a virgin and I am. He is kinda pressuring me into having sex. I don't want to. What should I do?? (link)
Why do you even bother to ask us what you should do. Because in the end you will be making your own decision about sex. If you feel you are not ready just tell him, if he likes you he will understand and if he won't wait for you then he isn't even worth dating in the first place. You will know when you are ready, only you can make this decision. Because I can tell you everyone is going to tell you to wait.

what are caffeines effects on the body? (link)
Just raises your awareness. Such as drinking a cup of coffee may make people feel more awake, alert, and alive. But some people such as myself a cup of coffe calms me down. But a majority of people it wakens the body allowing them to become more active.

What is the average size of a penis? Does it matter if your black, white, asian or latino? Are black guys penises bigger than other guys?
(link)
Lenght 95% of all males of all backgrounds and ethicities have an penis that is 5.7 inches to 6 inches long. And its a rumor that a black man has a larger penis because that just got passed down from people to people (rumor started in the 60's. But you may also find men with small penis's than that,it just depends on the male.

I am having a yard sale. And I told my friend who lives next door, that she had anything she was welcome to bring it over.
The promblem is that she is not only bring things over for her but, she has things her family has asked her to sale and her co-workers.
I asked if she was going to be able to help me. She said she would come over for a little while. But won't be able to stay very long.

I am now overwhelmed, I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old, and a yard sale. The first day my husband has to work so he can't help. Do you think it is right that she is bringing stuff for other people. Without asking me? And if so, how can I get her to understand that it is almost too much for me? (link)
Dear Yard Sale,

Well naturally it is not that cool that she would do that to you without your permission, and I will admit that. But the question I would be more concerned about pending that problem is that do they expect you to give them the money from their "stuff", you might want to ask before a big riot rises between you and your friend and her friends. And Naturally thats the beauty of friends that have to accept an answer you give them, if you tell them you can't take anymore then thats it whether they like it or not. And just ask her if she can afford to stay longer or if she is going to be home ask her if she will watch your children. All you need to do is view your options and choose the best, honestly I think she should watch your children only because you are helping her out and well her friends out as well. So I'm sure you will make the right decision and this helped.

Good luck!


Today I was named captain of my school's cheerleading squad, which is really good until I realized that I have no idea what I am doing. This is the first time my school has had a real squad and if I mess it up they might not have it again. Someone suggested renting a video on cheering, does anyone else have ideas? (link)
Dear Cheerleading,

They picked you for a reason, you have fire, drive, motivation, passion, and they must feel you are a leader even if you feel you aren't any of the above. Congrats from becoming head cheerleader is where I will begin. Well renting a video will not help you because those are only sugar coated by hollywood so don't do that. Do what comes natural hold practices, hold cheerleading meeting so you and the squad can learn each others potential, learn everyone and their strengths for that will come in handy. You have seen the videos and watched real cheerleaders somewhere well now its time to pay attention and if you watch a movie only watch their performances to become creative and talk with the couch. Just do what comes from the heart and pass that on..

I work there 3 days a week, and I get free meals, so I eat there rather than spend money somewhere else. I get tired of eating only salad, but when I do, I bring my own fat-free dressing from home. Sometimes, I add ham to my salad. On days when I work a long day, I get a lunch, so I get a personal size pizza with light cheese and vegatables only or ham or chicken and veggies. Is this ok to eat 3x's a week, or should I start bringing my own food from home? If so, what should I bring? There is a microwave there, but no place for me to eat but the main dining room, and I feel funny eating food that isn't from there in front of the customers. They also have sandwiches (chicken, ham or turkey with cheese and ranch dressing on them) So when I get one of those, I get light cheese and no dressing, and put my own fat-free dressing on them. The bread is like a french roll. I want to lose 30 lbs. Any advice? (link)
Ok your problem isn't the food you are eating but rather your lack of exercise. Some people have avery hig metabolism which allows them to eat and not work out. But a majority of people have to work out after eating Pizza/subs/salads. Like I used to work at a Pizza place (Dions) 8 hour shifts 3 days a week I was 150lbs when I started a year later I was 175 because I rarely exercise, 3 months later after working out throughout the weeks I was below the weight I had when I began. So just exercise 45-65 min 3-7 times a week and I mean cardio and swimming, and if you feel like it lift weights. But swimming is the easiest because you burn more calories.

Most people assume that a couple got in a fight if one of them goes to the couch. That is not the case with us. My husband snores sometimes, but hasn't been lately, but when he was, he would go to the couch so he wouldn't bother me. Now he claims he is used to the couch, and falls asleep faster there than on our bed, which is queen-sized. Also, he insists on putting the ceiling fan on when it's not even hot, and I don't like it, so he sleeps on the couch with an electric fan blowing on him. I was just wondering, is this healthy and normal? Am I the only one whose spouse does this? I worry about him wrecking his back sleeping on a narrow couch, and wrecking the couch as well. What do you think? I don't think I do anything to bother him when he is sleeping with me, so what can it be? (link)
Well, naturally this can be normal, such as he finds confront on something he is sued to sleeping on, like I slept on a futon since I was 4 years old and 2 months ago I bought a bed and I have a hard time sleeping on it. And as for the fan goes I sleep with my fan blowing on me on high during the winter. So no there is nothing wrong with your husband just he needs to be brought back to the bed and compromise if he snores try to live with it or he will never move from the couch.

[quote]I really need help with a poem about love... does anyone have any ideas to help get my creative juices flowing? (so to speak) Thanks!!! -Fantasyshorti4u (if any of you remember me..)[/quote] (link)
When writing poems the best way to get your creative juices flowing is to think about what you want to write about and then write about what you have and what you don't. Such as you can be in a relationship but you write a poem about being in a relationship without the love you wish you had. Or how your not in a relationship and you write about what you want within the relationship. So use your life as the biggest reference or the lives of people you know.

i have a sex parner. We practice safe sex dont worry!!! We met up ever so often and he buy me toys we use on each other. I wanted to find some new toy we can try together but i dont no what websites they are i heard that if u type itt on in the web search then its just porno. Ne 1 help ?? (link)
You need to ask more info on this question, such as what you are looking for rather than one we can both use on each other.

what would u do if your son was at home. Crying all alone on the bedroom floor because he's hungry and the only way to feed is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money. (link)
That is some good lyric don't you think. Did know that song was announced song of the year because it gave people a new perspective on the way to view poverty?

This is a weird question...but how do u give someone a hickey that lasts more than 5 mins? My boyfriend gave me a couple of them and they lasted a week! I wanna get him back for it, but mine only last like 2 mins, lol. Revenge! Is there, like, some trick to it or something? (link)
Try sucking harder, some guys actually like when females are a bit rougher when giving hickeys becausae we feel we can handle it, and second because many males like to flaunt their hickies to friends to prove. SO be a bit more agressive, not to much but a little bit, or maybe understand the logistics of a hickey and that can give you some clues.
