ok so the past school year i was a freshman in high school. most of my teachers were disorganized and really mean. does it stay like that all throughout high school or does that change when you get older?

It depends - each teacher is their own person. There are good ones, and bad ones. If you take more advanced classes, the teachers are /typically/ better, but not always.
They tend to be better in college, but again, not always.

I have this weird question ...
You know many of the singers out there are born into being famous. Well what about the other singers out there who weren't..how did they become famous?!?
*Jacquelyn (link)
| |
They get out and do things that allow people in the public to hear their singing. Eventually someone in the music industry will hear them and give them a chance. They succeed in getting signed, and get screwed in a record deal. Well, not all of them... some get really good deals, but alot get less than 0.1% (that's less than a penny per $10) off of the profits.

When you have a tampon in can you still pee I mean go to the bathroom?
please anawer (link)
|
No, I can't. But I think that's 'cause I'm a guy, and we aren't supposed to use tampons...
But, for girls, yeh - they can pee when they have a tampon in.

I have sensative skin but I want to get tanner. I can't go to a tanning bed because I know my skin couldn't handle it and I don't want to get a fake tanner and have to deal with rubbing it in. So how long should i stay out in the sun and what should I use to tan with, like baby oil or suntan lotion. Also if you know a good self tanner that doesn't require much rubbing in, what is it? Thanks in advance! (link)
|
Yes, use sunscreen. Go out into the sun until your skin feels just barely warm (not to the touch, but without touching it). If it starts to feel hot at all, that's too long. Do this a few times and see if there is any difference.
Take a picture of yourself in a room with no windows, door closed (so basically it would be pitch black if the lights were off), with the lights on. One before you start, one after a week or two of doing this maybe once or twice a day (dunno if you have time to do it more often) to see if you notice any difference.
If you burn, you should end up tanning still, just if you burn, you shouldn't go back into the sun until it heals.
Let me know if/how it works for you.

I have a tiny pudge and I'm not really fat I just want to look good in a swimsuit and lose the pudge. I only weigh about 100 and I'm 5'2" so I'm not fat. I also play volleyball and I want to keep my legs in shape for when volleyball starts up again. So what are some exercises and ways i can keep my legs in shape and lose the pudge. I rate high. (link)
|
Run/jog/walk/bike ride for an hour each day, or 5 hours each week. And I don't mean "I walked to neighbor's house, that took about 1 minute for round trip..." I mean go to it in at least 30 minutes at a time.
If that bores you, you can try a large trampoline (which will do more for your whole body) or a dance game like DDR (again, helps the whole body, but only as you improve).
That reminds me... I need to exercise more... ^.~

For some reason, things that my husband says or does make me so irritated and angry I end up saying mean things to him. He is very negative and says things that aggravate me, but I know that I overract and need to control my temper. For example, we were watching a kid's talent show that I really enjoy, and every time I try to watch it with him, he makes snide remarks about the kids and their parents. He seems to disaprove of children competing in a talent contest and parents encouraging their talents. I ended up getting angry the last time this happened (just recently). I turned off the show and told him he was being idiotic and there nothing wrong with children having a talent and pursuing it. He kept on calling it "child abuse" because a little boy was out of breath after playing the drums on the show, and making a big deal out of the fact that he was "only 5 years old." So what? I told him a lot of famous musicians and athletes started at young ages, and it's not child abuse if they enjoy what they are doing. I think he is very narrow-minded about this subject and other things as well and it leads to some heated arguments, mostly on my part because I think I explain my point of view much more clearly than he does and he tends to just repeat the same things over and over. It wasn't till much later in the argument that he said he disaproved of the music that the boy was drumming to because it was heavy metal and had strange lyrics. I said that you can't even make out the lyrics in the songs and even if you could, I doubt that a five-year old would understand them. Besides, he listens to this music too. This led to an argument that there shouldn't be music that you can't play in front of your kids. I believe all music should have clean lyrics. He said why don't we go further and have only g-rated t.v. and movies? I said that it is easier to control t.v. and movies. You can block out channels you don't want kids to watch, but you can't do anything about people in other cars blaring their obnoxous music with vulgar lyrics when your kids are in the car with you. I know I have strong opinions, and some of you probably don't agree with me, but I can't help how I feel. I guess I need to learn how to express my opinions without hurting my husband. I love him, I just don't always agree with him. Does anyone have any advice? I know I've been judgemental and already feel bad about it, so try not to make me feel worse. Thanks. (link)

Well, I'm not gonna read all that - I hate reading long things, sorry. Read most of it, though, and, I will say a few things.
Talk to your husband about what he says, when you're not angry. Tell him how it makes you feel. Reflect on why you get angry - anger isn't an emotion, it's the manifestation of the inability to cope with an emotion like fear, disappointment, sadness, and others.
When you have disagreements, try to approach them intellectually - "my husband isn't an idiot, he has a different point of view". I'm sure that you will find that there are things you two agree on, you just may have to go into deeper levels - discuss the genre of music, itself, and why each of you feels the way you do about it; discuss the issue of children listening to that music; the issue of children performing like that; the issue of parents helping and/or pushing their children to pursue talents. These are all separate issues, and should be discussed separately at some point in time as they are kind of related to people's core values and points of view.

ok so tomorrow im going horse back riding. ive done it like a million times but i just recently found out about that thing that pops (forgot the name srry) when u horseback ride or bike ride. wut if it happens??? nd does it only happen once in your life? can i prevent it from happening? (link)
|
You're referring to your cherry popping?
It happens only once, typically. There are odd circumstances where it can happen a couple of times (lost virginity to a guy that has a small penis, then had sex with a guy with a large penis), but that's only one aspect of it.
The only thing that riding a horse or bike can do is cause your hymen to break, making the opening to your vagina larger. You can prevent it by not riding, though it may have already happened. There might be some methods of riding that can help prevent it from happening, but those you'll have to ask another female rider for, and she may not know of any.

16f, See my problem is that there is this boy that I used to have this fling with,'sorta' and its over now, its been over for quite some time but I still just can't seem to get him out of my head. I'm a rising junior in high school and he just graduated, so I know I'm never going to see him again so whats the point in liking someone soo much when you can never have a relationship with this person. I've been trying soo hard to forget him but I can't shake the feelings I have for him. Its like he has some type of power over me and I can never seen to get away from him.
PLEEEEAAAAZZZZ help me get him out of my head.
Signed,
HOPELESS (link)

Unfortunately, time. And hanging out with other guys and keeping your mind open to liking them.
If you can keep in contact with him somehow, though, that might be best for you. And, if you can, tell him how you feel.

When you dye your hair with kool aid, how long does the color stay in for??
and also...how do you do it? (link)
|
Not long, and by soaking your hair in it for a long while (couple hours maybe, not days).
It works better on lighter hair, so you may have to lighten your hair first. And the lenth of time depends primarily on the head of hair... so if you try it, you'll find out. Some hair holds color better than others.

I'm working with Adobe Photoshop CS and GIF Builder to make icons. In some icons I've seen words or hearts are outlined in a color. Does anybody know how to outline words and objects in Adobe? (link)

glow filter. I don't remember the name of the actual filter, but if you search through them, you'll find it. Just select the area you want to glow and use the filter. And play around with it - you'll find a lot more things you're able to do as well that way.
The best way to experiment is to make a copy of your picture and experiment with that. that way, if you don't like it, who cares - it hasn't messed anything up because you still have the original.

Well i have been likeing this girl for like 2 years!! and we have always IMed eachother and texted eachother! Well we went to tha beach together with some of our friends and i had soo much fun and i really really like her! but the thing is that she has a boyfriend thats a junior and she is a freshmen! They have been going out for like 1 year! What can i do to get her to like me more than him??
p.s.-she knows that i like her! (link)
|
Wait, and just be a friend to her. Don't push, don't let the topic of how you feel keep coming up. Once she knows how you feel, it's up to her. She has a boyfriend, so it would be kind of inconsiderate (to her as well) of you to try to step in.
I was in this situation in HS as well with my best friend. I wish I had used this advice back then.

Is it true once you get your period that you're breasts start to grow alot more faster? I heard that they grow another 2 inches...is that true? thnx (link)
| |
I wouldn't put an amount on that, but it seems logical enough, seeing as breast growth happens during puberty, and the period starts near the beginning of puberty. Of course, there are cases when it might not happen, but the standard thing is that they will grow.

sometimes i can not tell the difference between capital and lowercase letters,and sometime i look at words and they are backwards or flipped,also i get confused with the letters "d" and "b" or "y" and "g" or "m" and "w"
Why does this happen? (link)
| |
dyslexia. It's fairly common. You should talk to your school counselor about it so that you get the right kind of academic aid as it is (rightly) considered a learning disability.

Ok, One of older friends, she is in highschool, going to be a senior, set me up with her boyfriends brother, we have been talking over the phone and internet for a while, and we finally met. I really don't know how to find out or ask him if he likes me, he told me to call him but he never said ne thing about meeting me. I'm really confused, and don't knwo what to do! I rate high for good answers!! (link)
|
Seriously, just ask. One of the most annoying things I find about romance is the games people think they have to play.
The "call me" thing is the typical thing to say to someone after you meet them and want to continue to have contact with them. Just ask if he wants to get together again. And if he asks if it's a date, say "only if you want it to be"

ok. i have a really really bad problem with porn. i cant stop. i went one week with out looking at it but thats only cuz i was on a mission trip. i need help. i feel like i am slipping away from god. what do i do? (link)
| |
Talk to your youth pastor or pastor - they should be there for you regarding these things. Also, try not to access the internet by yourself for a while, rip up and throw away your magz, permanently delete your smutty pics/vids/stories, and break your porn dvd's and vhs's and throw them away.

(link)

Get to know them both, then decide. If you still can't, have an open relationship with both - you are dating them both, but it's not a committed relationship, so it's ok. Just make sure they know it's an open relationship.

is it possible to get the pill without your parents knowing, or do they have to be with you and sign something, i'm not on the pill or anything, and i'm not thinking of using it in the near future, i'm just curious for later.
is it possible to get the pill without anyone knowing (besides the doctor) (link)
| |
I do think that they are required to tell your parents or get their consent or something. You can call your local planned parenthood or similar organization and ask.

I'm taking AP US History so I have a summer assignment. I'm supposed to read The Metaphysical Cub by Louis Menand and write a 4-6 page essay on how the ideas of the past (written about in this book_ effect us today... If anyone has read this book, could you please give me some ideas on what to put in the essay? Like, which ideas are still effecting us today about how? Thanks! (link)
|
lol. I like how nobody's gonna write your essay for you. It's funny.
OK, I'm done laughing now... I shouldn't laugh... I find it difficult to write these essays, too - lack of creativity.
Try sparknotes and similar sites. I haven't read the book, but (last I checked) they give responses that might help you.
Really, the only reason I'm responding, is that nobody else has. I figure you won't like my response, but it's better than nothing, I hope. ^.~

I'm 17/f and and I am having trouble finding a new job in my area. I have cashier/phone/front counter and customer service experience, so I was hoping i could get a new job with those skills, just not quite sure where. I want to work at a laid back place, nothing involving TOO many people. I prefer not to work at any typical teen place like.. food places, grocery stores, or movies. I want more of an office job, but im not sure what businesses hire people my age. I can type pretty fast (140+ wpm) and i know more about computers than most people. Any suggestions? (link)
|
First things first... 140 wpm would likely land you a job in and of itself if you can get it certified (typing teacher at your HS, maybe).
Second, try searching for websites that include job listings in your area
Third, everybody "knows more about computers than most people", including a friend from HS who comes to me to troubleshoot things like how to clear your browser's history. My point is not that you don't know anything about computers, but that you need to list your skills - "I know computers" means "Get out of here, kid"... "I am proficient with MS Office applications (list the ones you know), internet research, software engineering in 13 languages including Visual C# and Java, microprocessor programming, network security, 3D animation using both Maya and 3D Studio Max, texture artistry, and am a Cisco certified network engineer" means "Would you be willing to settle for a 100k/year?"
Check law firms, insurance companies, and similar places. Walk around in the business section of your town (not so much the shopping) and just look and see if you think they might have the kind of position you want.
If there are any government facilities around your area, try contacting their HRO (human resources office) and submitting your resume.

Okay, so just to set the record straight, my brother is a DUMBASS and cannot be left without the guidance of my parents without doing something completely stupid. He is 17 freaking years old and you'd figure he wouldn't be as dumb. Somehow, Lord only knows how, but somehow, he spilled a half a galon of laundry detergent on the tiled laundry room floor. Of course, he says it wasn't him and leaves it there for ME to clean up. Now, me being the younger sister, shouldn't it be the other way around? He has to clean up MY messes? I'm 16 by the way. So now, there is laundry detergent all over the floor, under the washer and dryer and I have NO clue how the hell I'm supposed to clean this mess up. We have a guest coming over at 6:30 today (it's 4:50 over here now) and I don't know how I'm supposed to clean this mess, and the rest of the house up in time. Does ANYONE have any suggestions on how to clean this up? ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and you have no need to tell me to murder my brother because I'll do that as soon as he gets home from work. (link)

1) If your parents are there available (cell phone?) ask them for advice. Otherwise...
2) Rags and towels to get most of it up. It will take a lot of work, and a lot of rags, but it should work. Set them outside when they are full of detergent.
The mop might work if you try it with a dry mop and wring it out really well each time you rinse, but if that's what you tried last time, scratch that.
3) Finish getting what's left on the floor with the mop, and everything else with a wet cloth (lots of rinsing and wringing involved)
4) Take all of the rags that are outside, rinse them out really well (not into plant areas, maybe into the street), then take them inside and wash them in the washer. It'll probably be a full load.
