how do you do that side stop thing when you are skating??? any tips on how?? i rate high!!

hi i'm guessing you are talking about ice skating? thats a snow plow stop...you basically just turn in your feet using the inside edge of the skate to stop and lean back a little but and push at the same time... unless you are talkin about a hockey stop those you have to turn your feet and whole body at the same time...it's all in the timing. if you need anymore help let me know...i skate too...what level are you in? have fun hope i helped! take care. x3 SweetStar.

Next year, when I'm in 9th grade, I want to join color guard. The thing is I have no experience at all.I have a good figure, but at times I'm kinda clumsy and I'm afraid I will drop the riffel or something. Also, it takes me a little bit longer to learn a routine than most people because I have never done dance or anything of the sort.
Does anyone have any suggestions that will help me be more cordinatted? (sp)Thanks!!

hi from experience...guard is not hard at all...i mean some things might be difficult but as long as you pay attentiion everything will be okay...when my friend and i joined winterguard we are very bad too i mean literally we threw flags at eachother when we were trying to spin but look at us now we are just as good as the veterans that are in our guard so just practice and it's all it takes...if you need any help let me know my time is free for yours for guard. power to the guard! take care. hope i helped x3 SweetStar.

I did gymnastics at one gym for 4 years. Then I switched to another gym because I didn't like the gym I was at. So then I go to one practice at this gym, only me and my friend from school showed up. I liked it then. Then the other night I went for the second practice. I didn't like it. There was a bunch of people and I like smaller groups and I could just hear them whispering about me and I wasn't comfortable with that. So now that I told my mom I just wanted to quit and then she says I need to go to the mental hospital because I can't make up my mind and that I need to go see a therapist and that I am not going on our school trip to Canada in May BECAUSE I WANT TO QUIT! Why spend money on gymnastics if I am not having fun there?! I really want to go to Canada with my school but she won't let me now! And I have to go to a mental hospital cuz I can't make up my mind?!! WTF. Seriously. I wish she would just go fucking live somewhere else FAR away so I never have to see her EVER again. She makes my life fucking MISERABLE. Now I have to go see a therapist, again! I want to die, or I want her to die. ITS NO FAIR. Wtf do I do?

hey...do you love gymnastics? if you like it then dont give up or quit just because these people are talkin about you...you should be more confident at yourself that you have the moves down when you are at practice. if it's a ppl watching thing then just stay with it because when you compete it's gonna be only eyes on you...believe me i understand...my skating competitions was just the same way wen i practiced i hated when ppl with stare at you and talk because your in a lower level but that didnt stop me it make me think that yeah they notice noe i'm going to get all my moves down and move to the next level! forget them bitches and you go out there and tumble! the worst thing about this situtation is that you are choosing to quit instead of just letting them say whatever. i went through the same and look at me now...FS4n5 baby! and about your mom if you think what i said is right then let her know you are not going to quit and you just said it because you are mad. i'm sure she will understand be let you go on the trip because nothing is more painful then to hear that her child is quitting on something she loves to do and something she soo good at. i hope i helped! take care! x3 SweetStar.

i straighten my hair in sections and like the bottom layer is always nice and straight but the very very top layer always turns out frizzy looking. its straight but i always have little pieces of hair sticking out or it just looks frizzy. how come? is there anything i can do to make it look non frizzy? ive used some frizz free stuff and it didnt work!

hey i have the the same problem...use the frizz ease stuff after you straighten it $5 about at walmart. or use the garnier friutis sleek and shine product. it's a tiny bottle with a plunger on it $3 about at walmart. put some on after you straigten and if you straighten you hair everyday use themasilk products because it's heat active so it leaves your hair very soft. hope i helped! take care. x3 SweetStar.

I was cleaning out my closet that I havn't cleaned for like a year and a half and I found the $125 gold necklace that my ex-boyfriend gave me last year. I remember throwing it in the closet when i broke up with him-----but now I found it. I don't have any jewelery that fine and I was thinking about wearing the necklace. Who's gonna know? My ex lives in N.Y.C. anyway and i'm like 2 hours north of the city, so I wont see him. Do you think its ok to wear it???

hey why not> i mean he did give it to you so yes wear it and it belongs to you so whoever says something about just be like it's anice gift so why waste it by letting it collect dust? hope i helped! take care x3 SweetStar.

has anyone tried those crest whitestrips? i was wondering when you put the whitestrip on top of your teeth, how does the bleach stay on w/o your tongue getting it off? and PLEASE tell me the truth: are they really effective? how much do they whiten?

hey they work really well and you dont get them on ur tongue or nothing. you just place them in and leave them on for 30 minutes twice a day. i might get a taste of it but thats only a little bit and what i do it after the times up i brush my teeth again to add some polish to it. and brush before you use it too even tho it said not to cuz it works better that way. hope i helped! take care. x3 SweetStar.

I have a problem: some part of me wants my older sister's approval so much, yet I am nothing like her. She is a good and decent person, if not a little conservative and practical. She is a good role model, but I am not her. I am intellectual, studious and questioning. When I ask her the big questions, she thinks I make a big deal out of little things. But I think she never asks herself the big questions in life or is afraid to.
Why do I want her approval so much? She is a good person and I love her, but why don't I have the fortitude to be my own person?

hey. like everyone says. you look up to hear and you want her opinion and things. you never said that she's a good role model and theres nothing wrong with that. being a only child i go to my older cousins because they already been through high school and things and they help me out with opinion makings too. so if you have something you need an answer too just go to her. i'm sure she wont mind and be proud that her sister is asking her for help. hope i helped. take care. x3 SweetStar.

My best friend is pretty than me, more popular than me, smarter than me, funnier than me, just BETTER than me. And the thing is...I'm EXTREMELY jealous of her, to the point I get MAD at her when she gets more attention than me!! I mean I don't show it, but inside of me I wanna yell at her. I don't know whats the matter with me!! Today, my band teacher offered to my best friend that he would loan her the skill sax if I wanted to teach her how to play (the saxophone) so then she can join the band. I want her in band because it would be way FUNNER, but now I'm thinking I DONT want her in band. She'll be better than me, prettier than me, funner than me, and nobody will care about ME anymore! I'm so worried. But most of all I'm mad at MYSELF! I dont like getting mad and being jealous of leille but I can't help it!! Any tips on how to stop myself from getting jealous, then mad, at leille?

hey. just because she does things her way doesnt mean you can get attention or anything your way. i mean just brush it off your shoulders and be like you kno i might think you are prettier then me and better but it's not true because i have my class and as long as you keep a positive additude then nothing will make you think that way. anything else let me kno. hope i helped. take care. x3 SweetStar.

I apologize in advance for the potential length of this post.

Lately, I have been having trouble with my father. It seems like he's taking every opportunity to ruin every chance at happiness that I ever had. I normally wouldn't care, but he's really effecting my relationships with other people and my potential opportunity to get into a good college, which is really important to me.

Since I'm only fourteen, I have no way to move out without his complete consent, and I have considered moving in with my mother in San Francisco, but she is physically abusive toward me, so that really eliminates itself as an option.

He's making me feel worthless and like I'm a horrible human being and I don't know what to do. He's called me a slut, a liar, a failure, and a sociopath. Someone please help me.

Hey. dont take that crap from him!!! you are not a slut liar failure or a sociopath. you dont deserve taking crap from your dad that things youre nothing but a worthless peice of crap because everyone is somebody. if i was you i will be face to face with him and be like look dad just because your life ended the way it is right now doesnt give you the right to bring me down with you when i am capable of getting a good education! just because you are having a bad days doesnt mean you can being my day down too and call me names which i'm not. i am a person and not worthless or a horrible human and get it through your head. and if he decides he wants to hurt you...call the cops...lol but i mean let him know you no longer want to listen to his crap. i would move in with my mom if she's abusive. anything else let me kno.hope i helped! take care. x3 SweetStar.

Is is normal for the average teenager (only child) to cry at least once a day when she's by herself in her room. And being an only child has a big issue. I came to realize that I cry everyday. Sometimes more than once. I do it in private though because I don't want people to see me. I guess my biggest reason is my parents, and the fact that I'm sick of being the center of their lives...I've gotten to the point where I feel a lot of pain in me, but I can't take it out on anyone but myself. It all seems really stupid, because it all comes from my parents. They don't beat me, and they're not necessarily "overprotective" or anything, I just hate being the only one they have to worry about... I've gotten to the point where I don't know what to do. I can't even tell them I want to seek professional help, which is what I really want--thats how distant I feel. I don't know what to do....

Hey. i understand how you feel because i'm an ony child too. i feel like i can never tell my parents anything because they have so high standards and believe me it's hard being asian...i mean asian parents except a lot. i would cry in my room alone too when things are bugging me. it's okay just let your feelings out is cryings the only way. my parents wont let me go anywhere because they are overprotected...but let them know that lately you have been feeling that you just have too much attention. tell them you want some space even if it means you have cancle a date with your parents. so you get some alone time to yourself because it's just the thing with people that needs some time alone. and be like mom dad i feel wierd inside and i was just wondering we i can see a phycstrist for a little it. see what they say. hope i help. take care. x3 SweetStar.

ok so, what do you do if you're stuck in this situation:

your dad had an affair for 3 years .. without telling your mom or you or your brothers

sounds bad enough, right?

well .. he's still with the whore and expects me and my brothers to warm up to her... be nice to her .. accept her into the family and what not. oh right, and to add to that: she has a 2 1/2 year old son who is annoying as hell.

she comes with us on vacations, and i know my dad spends the money ...that he needs to 'save' before we're able to buy a BASKETBALL HOOP? ... on her

thats not right.. and i've tried having those long serious chats with him. he thinks i'm just doing what my mother does ... hating her for no reason. she screwed over my whole life, why shouldn't i hate her? ...what should i do? and don't say i should try to like her .. cause thats not happening .. other than that i'm up for any ideas

helllp me

hey. i agree with yoU! because if i was you i get on her nerves and everything. my way will be to just annoying the crap out of them and not listen to whatever. but if you hate them both so much just be independent from now on and take care of your own brother. unless you really need something then you can go to your dad but that whore you refer to is stupid because why would you want to ruin a perfect good family? try to go live with your mom if they are no longer together instead so you dont have to deal with her. i mean i kno i will be taking her crap and swing it out the door but thats not the best way. just stay away and get her to stay away from you is the best way. hope i helped! take care. x3 SweetStar.

My sister is seriously a devil, she can't keep her hands to herself! She abuses me by hitting me really hard and throwing furniture at me! I hate it when she does this and I can never make her stop! She swears at me and the thing about it is, is that she is my younger sister! I 've already told my parents and they don't do much excpet ground for a week! i am seriously getting hurt and I don't know what else to do! what should i do?

hey your sister has no rights to be doing that to you and especially she's younger then you. pin her down or something and let her know in a serious voice that you are not going to tolerate this behavior from her and that she needs to show you some respect because you are still older then her! let her know that if something is bothering her she can come to you and talk about things instead of abusing you to get her anger or whatever she has locked up in her out. ask her why she's doing this because maybe it's just some misunderstanding. and you guys it wont hurt if you learn to get along with eachother too because if you guys let eachother have it your way once in a while everything shouldnt be like this. i'm sorry to hear that though. hope everythings going to be okay. hope i helped and take care. x3 SweetStar.

16/f/CA...I'm almost 17 and I've never had a boyfriend. Not that the "style" always or really does effect his personality or whatever, but I'm into the "surfer/swimmer" guys mostly. On occasion I like the musician/poetry type of guy. But I've never had a boyfriend, and I've never been asked out. I do remember a long, long time ag0--actually back in middle school one of my friends said to me "yea, I know a whole mess of guys that like you"...but that was the end of that and she never brought it up again...
I'm the kind of girl who loves to have fun. If you dine and dash on a date, I'll do it too (most likely, I'm the one to bring it up). You wanna go TPing, I'm right behind you. You want to leave secret admirer letters to random people thinking that someone is "in love" with them? I'll write them for you! I just love to have fun and mess around with people and play jokes. But then I get get very serious and moody also. I also love to feel special and loved. I like guys who could sweep me off my feet or surprise me. I'm not the kind of girl who throws herself at a guy, or starts flirting or competing just because girl who, in my opinion, is more prettier than me. I hate when girls do that... not that I just sit there and watch, but I hate when girls are ALL OVER a guy who they aren't even with, and they're just like "lYkE oMg! yOu'Re sOoO fUnNy!!!" ESPECIALLY when they're doing it because another girl is there and they're "competing" for the guy. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have lots of guy friends, but none that has actually tried becoming more than friends with me. If a guy who I think hot says something or he tries to be funny, I'll smile or chuckle and maybe say something back (unless it REALLY is funny, I'll laugh...but I don't want to overdo it). What should I do, and since I kind of gave you a basic idea of my personality, what kind of guys would be good with my personality?

hey. it's not your problem or nothing. things just happen for reasons...i never had a boyfriend until now but it's okay. you dont have to look for him right now. your only 17 you have during college and after college to find your perfect person. how do you feel like do you feel like you absolutly need a guy? most of the time if you do end up being in a relationship it wont really do much but hurt you. believe me i know how that feels with my first bf. i mean in a way who needs guys anyway? you should just concentrate on school and get into a good college if you are planning to go. i like the fact that you are yourself when you are around guys so i dont see the problem. if you really do like this one guy you can try to make the first move...because some guys think that you are confident with yourself enough to do that. hope this helps. take care. x3 SweetStar.

Here is the thing i have this really nice lowered blue s-10 ( i have posted other things on here b4) but anyways my mom says that i can't drive it in the snow cause it isn't save and that my brother has a friend that will trade me cars and his is a volkswagon golf hatchback, which isn't that good of a looking car but it is safer. I really like my truck tho and i was planning on painting it and suping it up more and now i don't know if i should trade cars and be safer or keep my truck. help i am not sure what i should do? thanks for anyhelp

hey. what do you mean by not safe? the tires arint suitable for the snow? if it's that then you can keep your truck and have the tires changed if thats what you mean...i'm not sure how this works very well but every car should have a pair of normal tires and snow tires for snow and icy roads and things. i mean if you like your truck i'm sure you can keep it. maybe talk to your mom about the snow tires. if that doesnt work out then it's better to be safe then sorry. hope i help. take care. x3 SweetStar.

My sister was raped and killed about a year ago ( we havent found out who it is yet but they're still looking)and I lately I have been see her well her ghost and she always says some thing but I cant hear her like she just moves her lips and I want to tell my mom but I'm afriad she will put me in some kind a hospital or something but about a week ago my sister came back and she made me fallow her some how I mean she walked through the wall and I just had to fallow her and when I did it I found an old beat down house and I really really wont to show it to some one because I think it might be the guy that killed her

hi. i'm sorry about your sister. like what everyone else says. tell you mom that youre not crazy and let her know what happened from start to finish. let her know before yout ell her naything that you are serious about this and it's not lie rahter she believes it or not. then take her the house but dont go inside. then i would let the police take over. if you dont want to tell them about your dreams or something just tell them you have a feeling the person that might live there did it. hope this helped. take care! x3 SweetStar.
