i'm making a miniscrapbook for each of my friends because we're going to college this year..does anyone have a favorite friendship quote? please don't give me links to websites because they rarely work on my computer..thanks a lot! (link)

Any creative advice on how I can spice up the walls in an apartment?
I can't paint them and I'm going to put up pictures but I need something bigger.
I like bright, vibrant colors and I really want my apartment to reflect that. (link)
|
you can take your favorite colors and contrast them. Maybe paint the wall a solid color, and splash on the other colors. IT shouldn't look tacky b/c you can hang up pictures and posters. If you use big colors it can liven your place up, and some light colors can make the room look bigger too.
Golden yellow goes with almost anything, light blue is calming, green is calming and just peaceful, and nature like, orange is warm. Just take your favorite colors and see which ones go together the best, then paint them together. YOu can do stripes, splatter it on, polke dots, you can do anything you want, make the place your own, and have fun with it!! :)

who needs a palette like this
can anyone explain to me how im gonna use these colors inmy eyes and make it work
i dont wanna look like a drag queen wearing green purple and hotpink eyeshadows
so dont you think people only use the neutral shades and the smokey eyes?
so if i bought this paltte hOW DO YOU THINK I KAN USE THE COLORS ON MY EYES? (link)
|
People use the natural shades during the day, b/c they want to look as naturally beautiful as possible, in daylight. Evening makeup is supposed to be darker however, b/c its night time, and they want a more dramatic affect. So with your pallete, you can use the natural colors during the day, and inthe evening, match your eyeshadow to the color you are wearing. For instance, if you are wearing a hot pink shirt, wear white on your browline, and hotpink in the crease, I do gold on my actual eye lid. You want the color of your outfit, to be your eye shadow color b/c it brings out your eyes, but not drastically, ya know.
I think the pallete is a good idea, b/c you can use all those colors eventually to match whatever outfit your wearing.
You're right you don't want to overdo the colors which is why you match one dark color with the naturals and it looks good.
Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, I know a little bit about makeup so I'll be happy to help in way I can. :)

Homecoming is coming up in a few weeks and I'm excited for it. Everyone seems to be anxious for it, and the guys are asking the girls to the homecoming; the usual. I'm going with my group of girls to the homecoming; we so far don't have dates. However, I feel left out. I see flowers and guys asking girls out; except me. I know I'm too young (15) and stuff, but still! There is this particular guy; don't know if he's going. I'm thinking I should make eye contact to him and make him notice me because I see him a few times. However, I have the butterflies. When I see him, I don't want to creep him out and stare at him. My question is should I get his attention? How would you do it without creeping it out (I did that two years ago...long story).
-Dateless (link)
|
Of course you should get his attention. Don't like stare him down, b/c yes that is creepy, just look at him for a few seconds, smile and say hi. That way he notices you, he can go over and talk to you and if he doesn't, but you still want to talk to him, then go up to him and say hi, compliment him, and introduce yourself. As far as the compliment goes you, say for instance he is wearing a band t-shirt and you like the band, comment on their recent concert. Or say he is wearing something ridiculous, you can tease him about it. Just teasing, b/c if you make fun of him, he'll walk away and itll be over. And if you do tease him, smile the whole time, so he feels comfortable and realizes it is a joke.
I know what you mean though, dateless, every homecoming or event, I was dateless, so I just went with my friends. And the guys I liked, didn't know I exited, but I realize it now that I should have talked to them, b/c I would have had a date, but they thought I wasn't interested. See I should have talked to them and made eye contact, I was so shy, and they thought I was stuck up. I realize it now, so please take my advice, make the eye contact, whats the worse that can happen... he doesn't like you? You'll move on, I promise, but if you don't at least try, you'll kick yourself and really regret it.
Good luck with everything. Enjoy homecoming, b/c my senior one is coming up, and my gosh do they fly by, so fast. Cherish each moment :)

hey,
i just started my juniorr year, this is my second week in. i feel like i failed myself in the past two years of highschool. i didn't do my best in school, and i lazed off alot and got too stressed over simple/boring work and i had one really bad teacher. i think my gpa is like a 2.6, yeah, its that bad and im a honors student. freshmen year i got a D and C and the rest Bs i think, that year was my worst, i never made grades that low before, and i was glad i made them because i barely passed the class, like in geometry my end of course test saved me [worst teacher ever], and in freshmen literature i never got papers signed in time so that brought my grade down even if i made all As on assignments. okay now in sophmore year, i got all As the first semester and all Bs the second. The Bs arent helping my bad freshmen grades. senior year im thinking about taking AP courses. right now im not the slacker i use to be, i actually learned alot on how to be successful in school sophmore year, [a little too late] now i do my homework, take notes and pay attention haha and i know that is what makes me pass. im planning on all As from here on out. and i havent done any clubs or sports at all. so what do you think are my chances of getting into a really good university, i know im really smart, and i dont want my future to turn out bad. what can i do now? to make up for my dumb choices in the past. im going to go to my counselor to try to get into some clubs, i know i probably cant do sports because the coach will most likely prefer freshmen over a never played before junior [ i use to play soccer in the past, but i tryed out last year and didnt make it] and i also considered the swim team because im a fast swimmer but i dont know the strokes or own a pool anymore. im going to try to do some community service this year. and im planning on spending my next summer studying for the SATs to get a really high score, i heard they look at that over grades. ill take my SATs at least 3 times. oh and maybe i can make cross country or track, im good at running, haha. help please. do you think i have a chance? i feel like i cant do it, also if you have any suggestions, i really would like them. im 16 turning 17 in two monthes. oh and, this semester im taking all acedemics, and i decided to only do honors in pre-calculus because im good in math. and im taking regular chemisty, world literature and french 4. also any advice on staying stress-free? haha, any advice on my situation, i feel like ive already failed.
if i dont do collage, i will go into the marines,then maybe community college, i think thats my back up plan. (link)
|
It is never too late in highschool to fix your grades. Good for you in challenging yourself to do harder classes. Junior year is difficult, but if you set your goals high, it will really help you stay focused in school. And you have not failed, your overanylizing it, you just really need to relax. For instance, my goal is to move to California, I love it there, and I miss it, so everytime I had a huge test to study for I would think of california and it helped me make it. You know, I looked at the A's on my test as a free plane ticket, I know that sounds lame, but its so helpful, you really should try it.
And a back up plan is a very good idea, life doesn't always turn out the way we plan.
As for staying stress free, just do stuff that helps you relax, ya know listening to music, karate, swimming, running, anything to help you calm down, that will also keep your focus.
Best of luck, just take adeep breath, and just enjoy this year, it goes by faster than you can ever imagine :)

Okay I don't have a purity ring yet, but I vowed to stay sexually pure until marriage. That obviously means no sex until marriage but does that mean no masterbating or anything like that? Like what are the guidlines most people who vow to stay sexually pure until marriage live by? (link)
|
Good for you in deciding to stay pure to marriage, that is the best decision you can make, I wear a purity ring and I am abstinent also, for me personally, everyone is different, its your choice, I promised God I wouldn't go past making out.
You make up your own guidelines, just do what feels right. I don't believe any kind of sexual act is appropiate until marriage, but that is my personal decision.
And the purity ring is really helpful, its a constant reminder that my promise to God is more important than my hormones and emotions.
Yours in Christ,
Jeannie

i am a christian.
i have been serving god all my life.
and i have had plenty of christian and non-christian friends.
i try not to talk about religion a lot because i dont want to push my friends away.
i am not a rebel or emo or anything, but lately i have been wondering if i am two different people.
i love god with all my heart.
and that will never change, but i recently told my friend about my releigion and she said she had no idea that i was christian. does that mean that i dont act like a christian.
i go to church every other sunday, i read the bible and i love singing praise songs, and pray. but my friends didn't know that i did anything like that.
how can i be chirstian in front of my friends without pushing them away???
from,
confused about being 2faced (link)
|
no you are not living two lives at all. Its okay to really praise God by yourself, and its okay to make your faith well known. I am christian and my friends are completely okay with that. Your actions should speak louder than words, so just be who you are and don't be afraid to proclaim your faith, we are responible for our own decisions so if they don't want to believe thats their choice. But Christ IS the Lord, there is nothing wrong with saying, yeah I do believe, show people you believe by helping people every chance you get, and be open about your faith, you may help your friends become closer to God. It is our job to do God's will, so go out there and proclaim it, its His Word.
I hope I answered your question.
Yours in Christ,
Jeannie

i was thinking about getting a purity ring so ..
can you buy any ring at all and have it be a purity ring?
or are there rings that are actually made for purity rings? (link)
|
hey congratualtions on your decicion to purchase a purity ring. It such a beautiful decision to promise God that yourare waiting until you are married.
You can buy any kind of ring b/c it serves as a signal and you can have it blessed by the priest. Mine says "I will wait for my beloved"
It really is a good choice, sometimes its tempting to break, but the ring helps its a constant reminder that God comes first.
Congrats again!!
All the best :)

So I think I am depressed but I have never been to a doctor to get help or anything. Usually I just hide all my emotions in and then when Im riding my horses I will take my anger out and use that as stress releif. But latley that has not been enough. Earlier this year I was un happy with my body image so I turned to bilimia to make myself thinner, that helped me feel better about myself until I started passing out at gymnastics practices, I was able to overcome this on my own and not have to tell anyone. I thought I was doing better but sense summer has been here I have been a weck, my anger is taking over me and I have been physically hurting myself and I just try and stay away from people because I feel as if people are judging me and are annoyed by me. I fight with my family all the time, except my older brother who no longer lives with me, I have an older sister and my parents idolize her they think she is just perfect she, has all the friends, good in school, never lets anything affect her, Im not as good in school I have problems focusing and I struggle with school, my parents beleive that because my sister is cappable in getting good grades and scholerships that I should be able to do the same and I am just not trying, I also have many problems at school socially I try and get involved but I feel so uncomfertable I dont have any true friends when we have to pair up in groups I am always the last one or the one left out of groups.... I dont go to the school district that I live in but the school district I live in that is the school I want to go to I have friends there from sports and 4-H but my mom does not want me to attend there because she thinks that it will be the same for me there that it is in my school now, school is starting soon and I think that if I have to go back to my original school I might blow up and just not be able to take it anymore. When my family was on vacation, my sister said a little thing that made me explode so I didnt want to eat dinner with the family so i could cool down but my dad ended up not letting me then my dad and I ended up in a physical fight where my mom and sister had to break us up, I cracked on my parents and tried to kill myself that was the first wake up call to them but they still dont get it they think it was just one bad day, and they dont know how I truely feel, and how sad and lonely I really am I need help because Im not sure how much longer I can take it. (link)

Okay first of all breathe. Okay, you really do need help. What you need to do is go to your parents and say exactly how you feel, yes I am aware that they may not listen, but if you show them that you are serious they will listen. Explain to them as calmly as you can whats going on. Like about your sister getting better grades and having more friends. It really hurts being left out doesn't it. I was always the butt of every joke. Iwould go home and cry and pull my eyelashes out, that was my self mutilation, I know its sick. But I mean my "friends" were always talking about me calling me names, soon I forgot who I was and I began to hate myself and everyone else around me. I got to highschool and people were nicer to me. Pretty soon I let my guard down, I still have the occasional people who are jerks, yep thats what they are, jerks, but I no longer let it affect who I am. I have tried to stop eating b/c i though it was my weight i was 5'4 and 90 lbs, my doctor almost put me in rehab for aneroxia, so I understand the eating disorder, I got my parents attention, and everything fell into place. What you need to do is, forget your sister for right now, sit your parents down, only them, and explaing EVERYTHING that is going on, so they have a clear understanding. Okay, if they still aren't getting it, talk to a colse friend or trusted adult, b/c if you continue down this road you can cause severe bodily harm. You are worth so much alive than you are dead. Please remember that, and please get yourself help, I've been on your side, it takes a while but with faith, and writing songs, and some caring people, I am the person I am today, happy, and alive.
If you need anything email me back okay. I wish you nothing but the best as you continue down a hard road, but this road is good, because the light is already shining:)
You are not meant to die, no matter what your habits are telling you, they are evil, don't let them control you or own you b/c they don't.
Listen to the song "Stand in the rain" by superchick. and "The Last NIght" by skillet. It will really help you:)
All the best!!

im really confuzed about what to do about this situation. theres this guy ive liked for a while but he screwed me over not to long ago. he ended up sleeping with another girl the same night we hung out. but i dont know why but i want to run back to him. not for a relationship but to just be friends with bennies. i feel comfortable around him in that kind of way, i know what he did was wrong but i just want to forgive him just to be able to do this. i have no feelings towards him whatsoever anymore, he's just the person id want to be friends with bennies with if anyone. is that a bad thing? and should i do it? (link)
|
Well good for you, in realizing that this guy did hurt you. If you want to be friends with benefits, you need to be straightfoward with him on all things, like about what he did was wrong. This guy could hurt you again, there is a possibility, but if you want to over look that and don't mind, then give him a chance. Its not a bad thing to want to be friends with benifets as long as you know what you're getting into. You want to run back to him, b/c you don't want to lose him, I understand the feeling, its like if you let him go, you may lose him forever, which is why you really need to talk to him, and tell him exactly how you feel and what you want. Guys often just assume, and don't understand, which is why you have to be straightfoward. Does that make sense? And don't just make adecsison, because its what your feeling at the moment, don't be afraid to take a second, have a nice talk with him, then decide where you want to go from there. Sometimes living in the moment has consequences. So just be careful. Also, I have to say this, if you do decide to be sexually active or anything, please be careful and responsible, pregnancy is 100% preventable. If you have any other questions or need anything just write back to me. And please make a decision after you have thought about it because then you will have aclearer view of whats going on.
All the best! :)

15/m
I'm about to go into my sophomore year in highschool (in 2 days) and I'm 15 years old. I haven't ever had a girlfriend in my life. People call me pathetic and I get made fun of and taunted because of it. I used to be picked on a lot and such by people. I recently got into Martial Arts classes and I'm joining a JROTC program (an army reserve program) to help out with my leadership abilities some. There's this girl names Rachael who's one of my best friends. She's also in JROTC and is similar to me in almost every way. The reason I haven't been with anyone is because I haven't found anyone willing to hold a relationship nor have I found someone into everything I am....I've never felt this way about anyone, and I think I love her. We've been friends since Freshman year and I really like her....but I don't have any clue as to what to do about it. I'm not shy or anything, but I just don't want my heart broken.
Advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Brandon (link)
| |
Aww I think that is really cute. Okay listen here Brandon, in your life people are going to make funof you, I'm sorry its a fact of life. Now you can choose to to stay alone and ignore the taunting, or you can give Rachel a chance. You seem like a really sweet guy, and kudos to you for not rushing it. I never rushed dating either, and let me tell you, you go a lot further as happiness is concerned then someone who rushes into dating b/c they think there supposed to. NOw I think you should tell Rachel because you may never get the chance again, I mean seriously yeah you can get your heart broken Imnot gonna lie to you, but if you don't tell her you will regret it, maybe not today or tommorrow, but in your life you will, you can get over the rejection, but if you don't tell her, youll always kick yourself. I've screwed up enough stuff b/c I was scared of getting my heart broken, and yeah I have a couple times, but it feels so much better to try then just sit on the sidelines wishing on 11:11 and shooting stars. Sooner or later it comes back. Take a chance you just might be very happy :) I know I am.

I am thirty years old and have never made anything higher than 13 an hour. I am currently going to school and I have also been married for 8 years. My wife is unhappy with her job, and so I am helping her get a better one. I am facing foreclosure, possible job loss, and was recently in an accident where I may be getting sued. Unless I finish school or get a higher paying job, I face divorce and worse. I have been contemplating suicide, and would like to know what would be the most painless, and easiest way to go about doing it. I don't want any religious answers because I am so far from God right now, he couldnt find me if he had a compass. I am tired of struggling, I just want rest. (link)
|
suicide is so far from the answer. Maybe you are struggling, but who hasn't struggled in life? We all have our fair share of problems, and running from them by commiting suicide is irresponisble and so not worth it. What about your wife? what about your family? Killing yourself, to fix things only complicates them. I have heard of people killing themselves b/c they believed that it was their turn and they were the ones that caused the problems. If life was easy and perfect, then it would be boring, and a place like heaven wouldn't ever need to exist. So by having problems and struggling, you can either take it like a man, and get yourself help by finding way to deal with stress and believeing in yourself, ot you can be just a quitter and die. Truthfully, how do you want to be remembered, as someone who killed themself because they thought they were worthless and had nothing, no I have seen a lot worse, what about kids who are starving in Africa, or a mom who lost a 3 month old son b/c the hospital couldn't treat him, or the war in Iraq, thats unpreventable, but losing your job is so minor, so small. Instead of crying over your own problems, go out there and look at people in worse conditions, believe me its out there. We only get one shot at this life, don't blow it on one shot or one too many pills, thats just a waste.
I know you don't want to hear it, but God is never as far awawy as you think. You can rate me a 2 or 1 for saying that, but I have walked away from faith so many times I have blown it, and you know what brought me back, the man in his 30s who died on a cross for me. No problem, nothing in the world can take that away or replace it. He doesn't need a compass, your in His heart. Seriously, dude, I know your struggling, I do understand, by you have pushed God away, you may be pushing your wife away, and your losing yourself. Its never too late to make it right, so go see a therapist, tell her or him that you need stress management, b/c when you get a hold of your life, youll never have to go back to okay. You'll be in better hands.
Best of luck to you, I mean it. But you will be fine I absolutely promise, since you don't want the faith, I'll keep it for you, start looking up things will get better. :)

are the movie and book the same?
andddd is there a good spark notes type book for it?
thankss in advance ! (link)
|
I have heard the movie and book are very similar. And yes spark notes are great, b/c I used sparknotes for a project on the book last year. It was quite helpful I must say.
You could probably but the parknotes book, but online works really good, because you can print anything you want and get character anyalisis. Its great!

Hey. My name is Marie and I'm 17. I'm a junior in highschool, and my boyfriend and I have been going out for about 3 years, and I really think he's the one. Since my first year of highschool I've had too many problems to count at home, and he's always been there and I can tell him anything at all.
I was wondering if when he goes to college it will still be the same between us. And, I was wondering if you think it's normal to be with someone for as long as I have during highschool years.
Also, lately it's been really hard to cope around my house. My mom is in jail, I've never met my dad, my twin brother recently tried to kill himself, and a lot of people are worried about how our family is coping. I have 5 siblings: one is 20, one is 16, one is 14, one is 10, and my twin is 17. I feel like since my brother can't handle stress, I have to keep things running smoothly around the house. And it's really been a lot to deal with, and I think I'm close to having a mental breakdown. What should I do? (link)
|
I'm so sorry about your home life first of all. It is not your responsibilty though, to handle your family. Another thing, that is great you have a boyfriend who is understanding and treats you well. Love like that is hard to find. And there is nothing wrong with dating someone 3 years, I wish my relationships could last like that.Thats awesome!! And when he goes to college, things will be hard, yeah, but you have strong love, love can get you through anything, no matter the distance or intensity.
Also, i think you need to talk to a trusted adult, or family member, who can help you out with your home life, especailly if your close to a mental breakdown.
I can understand how hard oyur home life must be, and I wish you the best, I'll pray for you and your family.
If you would like to talk more about it just write me back, I'm here to listen :)

iv been cutting for like a year and my dad knows he took me to "get help" but i didnt want then and now its getting worse and i now i want help i asked my dad if he would get me help lke 4 months ago and he still hasnt done anything about it. he told me he doesnt think i need it but he doesnt know im still cutting cuz i do it on the top of my arms where he cant see the cuts soo wht should i do? just not say anyhting?
thanx (link)
|
Yes you do need to get help, as the problem is increasing, maybe if you show you dad the cuts he'll realize the cuts are worse and see you really need help.
I know of a song that may you, its call The Last Night by Skillet.
You should listen to it, you'll have a better time changing now, b/c you actually want the help.
Just talkt o your dad.
Best of luck to you, All the best!! :)

Hey,I'm a 16 year-old female I have recently broke up with my boyfriend. We still liked each other then my best friend started liking him. He told me he would never like her and that he liked me but the next day my friend and him were going out. She knew I still had strong feelings for him. What should I do to try to get him back? Is making him jealous the right answer? If so what should I do to make him jealous (link)
|
Truthfully, revenge isn't always sweet. And its your friends fault too, I mean she knows you have strong feelings for him, she should not be going there. No offense, I mean you wouldn't do that to her right, so she shouldn't do it to you. So personally, everytime I try to get even it blows up in my face, so jealousy really inst the right answer, karma will kick his butt for ya! You deserve so much better, than that. Just walk away, if you can, because he lied to you and hurt you, who says he won't do it again?
Good luck with everything!! :)

have an eating disorder.[i'm not one of those skinny girls who has them.]
&& i've told mii close friends about it.
but 1 of them [whos like mii sister] says shes getting worried about it && said if i don't get help then she'll get it 4 me by telling someone.
i tried 2 tell her that i can't get help cause mii parents will find out && they aren't the "okay we'll get help for you" type parents.
their the "i'm gonna hurt you 4 being stupid" type.
&& theres nothing i can say 2 her to even try 2 convince her 2 not tell.
but she keeps saying that unless i get help then shes gonna tell.
so what i wanted 2 ask if any of you had any suggestions of a way 4 me 2 get help without mii parents knowing?
(link)
|
Yes I agree with your friend. Someone needs to help you, you do need help. If you don't want to tell your parents, athough I think you should, a trusted adult or family member, someone you can trust needs to know. B/c they can offer you suggestions and get help, before you get into deep. Please get help, because if you don't you can really damage your body, so much more than youll ever know. My doctor told me I was borderline aneroxic, so I know whats its like to hear it from people that I need to gain weight, and blah blah blah, it is annoying, but so many people had my best interest in mind. From my view, yes you really should get help whether its with your parents or not.
Best of luck!! All the best! :)

So everytime i get a boyfriend that i do really like, my feelings change all of a sudden. and i dont want anything to do with them. and i dont know why. i mean i really do like them, but i find ways to avoid them sometimes. its so weird. or i get worried that there too obsessive.[sp] and i dont know its so weird.
can anybody tell me why? or anything about this.
thank you! (link)
| |
Truthfully, I am the exact same way. I find guys that I know are right for me then I run. I think it has to do with being scared, you know scared of like messing it up, I don't know. I wish I knew because I have the exact same problem, and I usually cry b/c I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe its a matter of being alone with him. Because I'm not exactly sure, I would say to just force yourself to date him at least once or look at him. That way your trying to break the so called fear. ya know? I'm sorry Iknow how you feel though, b/c im the same way. I am afraid b/c I have lost a lot of trust for people. I dont know. good luck, if you have any questions or figure out just write back :)
