i really need help. i go to a public high school and the area is very unsafe. there are a lot of people dropping out, smoking weed, skipping class, not paying attention in class, and bullying others. i was super excited for high school until my expectations blew up. the teachers there dont teach really well and students distract me from learning. i honestly cant concentrate in anything. i tell my parents this but they dont listen. i only have one friend that came from my middle school and she doesnt like the high school too. i really want to transfer to a private school that has most of friends. i tell my friends about my problems in that public school but they cant do any help. making friends there is hard because almost everyone there knows each other. i really need help convincing my parents to move. also, ive notived my parents waste gas on traveling to my high school from my middle school because of my sister. also, i come to school late and get picked up late.
what can i do to persuade my parents to going back to private school ? (link)

The problem is you are likely in public school because they can't pay for private school. Either that or they think you're being overly dramatic which you aren't.
Who do your parents listen to? Approach that individual with exactly what you wrote us as it was well written and thought out. Tell them that your parents refuse to send you anywhere else and you're bloody miserable.
One option to look into is catholic school as it's public but likely in a better location and will have different teachers and students. Even if you don't believe in that religion and your parents do it's open to you still.
As far as private school goes why not contact an old teacher or principal and tell them all the reasons you outlined here for wanting to return. Maybe they can call your parents and work something out to be there.
I have a hunch your parents can't pay for your tuition or something as all your reasons for going back to school there make sense to me.
The only thing you can do about making friends with these kids is not to judge them on their faults, remain friendly and be yourself. Sooner or later people will want to know you but they won't if they think you don't want to know them. They probably think that you're stuck up because of where you came from.
You have to get adults your parents know on your side to keep hammering them on the school not being your rightful place as they've tuned you out. They can't do that with peers, teachers, principals and those they trust who all would say you're miserable there.

We are keeping my daughter's birthday low-key this year. I told her she could take a friend out to dinner and she managed to convince me to allow three friends to go out for dinner. She had already chosen two friends (and had told them about it...) and was trying to decide on the third. We live on a street where she plays with two of the neighbor girls a good bit, but when she asked if she could invite one of the girls, I said she couldn't invite one without inviting the other and at this point, don't want this to turn into a birthday 'party' but rather just a way to celebrate her, so I don't want a bunch of girls out to dinner. So my dilemma is - do I need to mention it to the two moms on the street? I don't want their daughter's feelings to be hurt and wonder if I should just say nothing at all? (link)
|
I would veto the dinner out idea. Tell your daughter that you're not up to dealing with parents of other kids who may have felt left out. Instead have her, the three friends and those likely to feel hurt otherwise over.
Get whatever food they want as take-out to enjoy at home letting your daughter know that paying for more than 2 others when you eat in is too expensive.
You might want low-key this year but a modest gathering of about 5-10 kids and firm on on more and your daughter's favorite take out is sufficient enough to please them.
Saying nothing at all and going with the original plan is going to hurt your daughter because of resentment and cause tension at school. Been there, done that and know what it means to the kid passed over. That's how they'll see it.
Even if you invited people for cake, presents etc. only you would still get grief over the dinner even if you told them it was something the three of them decided to do together and not mention who paid.

Hi, I'm a fifteen year old virgin and my vagina looks strange. All of my friends make fun of me... My vaginal lips stick out about an inch and their a peachy- purpleish color...... my mom says it's normal but my friends think i should get it checked out. my mom had one but she got surgery to make it normal. How come i have such a large one if i am a virgin? i rub my clit sometimes when i masterbate. if i stop doing that will it shrink and go back to normal? my boyfriend really wants to finger me, and i would let him if my vagina wasn't so retarded. should i tell him i have a large labia? should i tell him about my unconfidence. if so, please give me a great way to tell him..... he needs to know before going down there. i feel like that's the best thing or just letting it go but i honestly can't. it's been bothering me sooo much.. i just wanna get a pair of scissors and chop them off it looks like i have freaking testicles or somethingggg. it's really not fair. he's only done stuff with one other girl and he told me that her vagina smelled really bad and was disgusting. mine doesn't smell bad, it doesn't have a smell. BUT my labia is huge. how do i shrink it? how do i tell him? should i tell him? what do i do? Easy 5 points.. (link)

First you calm down and then relax. It's one of those things about your body that you can't change. It's normal for it to be a little longer and normal for it to be shorter.
You shouldn't be upset about it and your friends are wrong. The coloration and size is fine. If any guy thought it disgusting or didn't want to be with you over it than he's nuts. Also, stimulation of your genitals has nothing to do with size of labia so relax if you're doing that.
Just relax and know it's normal and learn to love your body no matter how it looks. Most guys would be happy to even be invited to see this area and engage in activity you mentioned and wouldn't care about size. As a matter of fact they might be scared of what you think of their private parts so it goes both ways.

Ok I know that there are probably Zero doctors or therapist on here, but I'm hoping that there are high school
and college students on here:) & I know nobody can actually diagnosis this, but I just want an opinion
of what she may have or advice how to handle her.
My friend Lauren has a lot of problems. Her mother died when she was young. She is a huge huge huge liar. To the
point, I don't even think she knows the difference between her lies and the truth. She has made up multiple different
people and will text guys pretending to be these girls. She will talk to them for a long time, actually I think she is still talking to a few. Last may she was put into the
hospital for having a eating disorder. She almost
died. She has gained almost all the weight back. She can be very loud and has never had a problem going
up to a random guy and telling him he's hot.
I don't understand her at all. She's one of
my best friends, but I can't figure her out.
I want to know if anyone is in or was in any pysch classes, types of disorders I could look up that it might be.
Also, how do I handle this girl, in general. (link)
|
Don't try to self-diagnose as you may be wrong and if you acted from what you read it could be more dangerous for you both.
She may not have a disorder at all and then again she might. But, it's not your place to suggest that or try to help unless you see her headed for crisis.
Right now all I can confirm to you is that she's a pathological liar. She's not about to change and may be using these fictional people and talking back and forth to them and as them to people for attention, a coping mechanism or because she has mental-health issues.
An eating disorder is more of a mental-health issue than it is a physical one. She has to find out what is at the root of that and get treatment.
She probably tells her doctors a bunch of crap to stay out of a hospital but I'm sure they must know and be concerned about her weight.
Truth is unless you learn she has a mental-health problem you won't know how to "handle her" any better than you have been nor can you help her see that the lying and fictional characters is wrong.
You may want to watch Catfish a film that was leaked recently online about a woman that invented several fictional characters and had most of the issues minus eating problems that your friend had. Maybe the documentary will show you what this friend may be doing herself.
Also, don't use the term crazy. She may have mental-health issues but they can be treated and she's not a loon or a write-off for having them nr is she to be pitied. It's all treatable.
If very concerned for her tell your parents about her history and what she is doing. Maybe they can talk to her family. You can also talk to your teachers or counsellors and tell them that your friend's behavior is very strange and you think she's got a big problem brewing. They can step in and talk to her family.
You can try talking to her yourself but I doubt she'd see a psychiatrist and would probably tell you where to go and be ultra defensive. I do think however you should get an adult to intervene as her behavior isn't normal at all.

Well l am a teenager and I'm dating a guy who has A LOT of experience. He wants to have sex, and I do to but there's only one problem....I am over weight and I have stretch marks on my stomach. I don't think he knows because I haven't told him and I always wear a shirt around him. We've been dating a long time, we know all about protection, and I can honestly say I love him and we are planning on getting married when we graduate high school. But I need help, I am scared to death that when we are going to have sex he will take one look at my disgusting body and never want to get physical like that again. Please, any advice? Serious answers only please. Thank you for your time. (link)
|
We come in all shapes and sizes. If he genuinely loves you a few stretch marks and weight won't matter. He cares about you and your personality first or at least he should. Although he's experienced he probably feels nervous about his body too.
Weight is something you have control over. What you need to do is see a doctor and get on a diet that you can stick to and will work. That will help with some of your fears.
As far as sex goes if scared of anything hold off on it. Start talking to him about expectations and fears and learn all you can before doing anything.
You're the only one who thinks you're disgusting due to your size and that's wrong and very sad. I'm sure he cares about you wanting to lose weight but doesn't or won't think of your body as ugly. if he did than he shouldn't be with you or seeing it period.

Need an idea for a song a 6 year old girl and 7 year old boy can sing together for a Christmas talent show. Please, any ideas? (link)
|
Try this one out. It's an Elton John number that a couple of 8-year-old actors pulled off on Full House circa 1995 for a talent show episode. Anyways, the show's lame but the idea and what they did would work for your kids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDN6PrE5CyY

20F Ryan- 19
So I seen this cute guy that's on my friends hockey team. We've been texting and he seems like the sweetest guy ever. I don't think he knows how tall I am but I'm a taller girl -I'm almost 5'6 and he's about 5'7. We haven't met in person yet, I'll be going there to watch them play again in about a month. But we're almost the same height. I don't know why it bothers me so much but I can't wear like anything with any sort of heel or I'll be taller than him and it's just awkward, don't you think?? I hope he's not weirded out either that i'm almost taller than him. Ehhhh, what should I do? Has anyone else gone through this issue. Do you think it really matters? (link)
|
Why would he feel weird or inadequate over your height? Don't be silly. Unless he's a superficial jerk all he will care about is who you are inside. It sounds like he genuinely likes you to be texting you a lot.
If he's 5ft 6 and even if you are 5 ft 8 maximum it's only 2-3 inches and not that noticeable unless you put on heels. So, don't wear those if you think it might be an issue.
Text him and tell him you're looking forward to the game. Say something like "I hope I won't be much of a distraction. I forgot to tell you I'm 5 ft 8. I hope that it doesn't matter as to some guys it did."
Once you do that and he tells you he doesn't care it will get you to relax. Anybody who won't date you because of being a few inches taller is an idiot plain and simple. Frankly, I think you have zero to worry over. Don't wear the heels either way and go casual. It's an arena after all. Dressing up would make you stand out for reasons you didn't think.

I have been cutting for two years. I am fourteen years old. I started when my parents decided to announce that they were getting a divorce. I started and hid it from everyone else for the longest time. I would always wear long sleeved shirts to cover my arms and i'd wear gauntlets to cover my wrists and hands. then, to top it all off, my father was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis. MS is a neurologic disease that makes it harder to move. My dad has always had numbness in his legs but he didn't think it was anything. I've also been fighting with my dad on a weekly basis. we try to work it out, but i've been having to run away from it. I would just end up going over to my mom's house and locking all the doors so he couldn't get in. I was, frankly, rather scared of my dad at that point. I was afraid he would lose his temper all of a sudden and decide to kick me out or abuse me. I dont know what to do anymore. please don't suggest therapy. I have two therapists on call and neither of them are what I thought they'd be and they haven't been helping. maybe you will have better advice. (link)
|
Therapists don't have degrees and should not be giving you advice over something medical much less mental health related like this.
You need a psychiatrist and believe me there's nothing wrong with seeing one or admitting it. Your problem is mental health related and may be part of an illness you don't know you have and can be treated. Get help there as it's probably medication plus monitoring from them that you need.
Tell them and your teachers, principal or other trusted adult what you dad has been doing to you and let them deal with a solution for you as this is an issue bigger than you can solve.
If there's a custody agreement and your mother has a good lawyer she can go to a judge who will deal with what your father is doing and put stiff penalties in place or limit and or block him interacting with you.
But yes you need a mental health professional and not some therapist without experience to handle your case giving BS advice when medical is what you must pursue for any hope of stopping cutting.

My boyfriend 20 years old, and the first time we had sex... It was difficult. It was his first time, but he got soft once he put the condom on. I was thinking it could be the condom, maybe it was too tight on him. But later when we kept trying, it was able to stay up. But he still has this problem now, it has been 5 months and during sex, if he goes on for more than 15 minutes, his penis gets soft during sex. He says it feels good, but he doesn't understand why it is going down. We tried different condoms, but it still does the same thing. We have to stop after the first time it gets soft, wait for 5 minutes, then get another condom so he can finish the second time. What is wrong and what can we do? Thanks! (link)

Have him see an urologist. This is a doctor that is a specialist that will know if there's anything wrong with the function of his reproductive organs. If there is they can treat it.
There are things you can do that are temporary. If you go to an adult novelty store for people 18+ you can get plastic rings that don't cost much that is meant to trap blood into the penis and keep it there.
It's designed for people with your problem and it works well for most from what I've read in the past. Ask any employee in there about the product and they'll know exactly what you're talking about.
This also can be do to medication he might be on and side-effects, nerves or irrational fears around sex. You need to find out either way but for now there are temporary fixes available.

I want to be a journalist, and I want a career where I can travel and write from all over the world. About everything.
What should I specialize in in college? Print journalism or digital?
What careers could I have in digital journalism?
Are there any non-profit organizations that do a lot of traveling to third world countries, helping people that maybe I could write for? (link)
|
When it comes to college and university programs for journalism you have to be careful. University teaches you a lot of theory which is important but a lot of people don't come out of university having written anything that was published or in position for the kind of things you want to do.
You NEED college first. What you have to do is find a program that focuses on print, online, photo, TV, radio journalism all in one and take that and then add university after if desired.
NEVER pick a stream as trust me you'll need to know every aspect of journalism to make it. What an all in one college program does is allow you to work on a newspaper, online publication for 2-3 years and get published from day one. It also hooks you up with paid and non-paid internships for what you want to specialize in.
Picking one discipline doesn't really help you in the end if you haven't acquired the other skills because there may be more open to you job wise if you have everything and not always just online jobs. The market is bad especially with digital right now.
I can say this as I'm in the field. More or less if you love travel or anything else for that matter and can pitch a story to a local or daily paper even or existing online publication now you can get published but may not travel the world.
It's best to volunteer with a local publication and build up a portfolio as all journalists have to, enter college and then really pursue that beat. If you work hard and write well, take photos well etc. you can get there but you need a hands-on all disciplines covered college program first as university isn't hands-on.

I'm 17 and I have been looking for a job. The job that wants to hire me is too far away, I have never had a job. I went to a youth workforce center and they said I have to be a senior in highschool to join and Im a junior. All of the places I went to are not hiring. Ive did a lot of job applications on the internet and I havent heard back from any except for one, but that job was too far away. Is there any centers that help teens under 18?
(link)
|
There should definitely be something in your city. I would look in the blue pages of your telephone book under employment and it should list programs and centers.
I'm not sure about age requirements but they may have tips either way that could land you something. Also if you know something is too far away don't apply for it.
It gets on the employer's nerves and could hurt you later on if they remember you. Also don't apply for any job you aren't ready for or lack experience in. You want the right fit and not just any job.
I don't know how you can't find something. There's movie theaters, bookstores, cafes, fast-food places that are always needing people. If you truly need a job and sooner than later try out for them.

I can only go to one concert tour this year and I need help deciding between:
The Back Street Boys and New Kids On The Block
Or BOLD (Band from New York)
Any advice on which concert I should buy tickets for?
Thank you!
(link)
|
Put it to you this way it's 2 headliners for the price of one concert ticket. If you were to see BSB and New Kids separately top priced seats usually get around $125.00 (NKOTB) factor in pairs and you save a lot.
Both of them to my understanding are doing their own 90 minute set plus anything grouped together which hasn't been mentioned. I base the 90 minutes for both on other concerts with dual headliners.
New Kids On The Block put on a very entertaining show with tight harmonies and vocals and are the reason BSB have done well. They paved the way.
Also, you might never get to see these guys on stage separately much less together again. It's a rare opportunity to see them both on the same night that you should take if you have the $.
Bold also if we're thinking the band from New York hasn't produced new material or an album since 1989 and the reunion is very recent. It could be done just as a cash grab from nostalgic fans and not out of love.
BSB/NKOTB have been very active touring and have put out a lot of CDs, DVDs and cruise ship tours as well as arena tours this decade. I would go with them as it sounds like the better time. But after all you know your tastes and what you would like so go with them as this is based on me.

Ever since I was little my family has called me "pretty" and all those warm and fuzzy words, but that's just family. I don't take them seriously.
I've never been asked out, always been rejected when I've done the asking... To my knowledge, no guy has ever liked me. (To be hoenst though, I'm not bitter about it, so no need for sympathy)
So... how do you know if you're "ugly"? :/ Do guys look at ugly girls? I ask that 'cause I've noticed lately that, from guys in general, I've been getting more looks. Seriously, just within the past two weeks. I have no rumors floating around me, not lost any weight or done anything drastic to change myself. I checked in a mirror and nothing was on my face or anything... So what's up with that, with guys looking?
One of my guy friends, while he thought I wasn't listening, labled me as "alright", so I guess that means I'm not HIDEOUS.
I know I'm not pretty, if I was I'd know that by now, but perhaps I'm a bit closer to average than I thought? (link)
|
You know what you're the only one who thinks you're ugly. You have to deal with your own false sense of self. That can be done with a good counsellor as your self-esteem appears to be in the toilet and that's wrong.
Believe it or not those guys actually dig you and want you to notice them back. I'm sure once you do someone will ask you out. In the past when you did the asking it likely meant they weren't the right person. Unfortunately, that led you to give up on yourself.
You never were ugly and you only think that of yourself. There seems to be a lot of guys interested in you who don't see you as ugly.
My recommendation is to just be you and accept your body and your looks. Beauty is more than skin deep and to the people sending signals you're pretty to them and they want to know you.
So, let's drop this "I'm ugly" point of view, work on your self-esteem and start showing interest in these guys. The past is the past and nobody is doing any judging or rejecting anymore. Chalk that up to isolated experiences and move on.

Well I met a new friend this year and i got along with her really well. But she has fallen in with the wrong crowd and she is high all the time now. I feel as if i shouldn't talk to her at this point but I also feel like I should help her, but I have no idea how I would do that. Should I just let her be? Or should I do something? if so, what?
Thank you for reading this. (link)
|
Tell your friend that adults and fellow classmates have noticed that she has a substance abuse problem and isn't fooling anyone coming to classes stoned. Tell her that you value her friendship but that she needs to stop for her own health.
I think she must be someone who has little self-esteem and wants badly to fit in albeit with the wrong group. She ends up doing what they're doing but make no mistake using was her choice to do or not.
You can also approach your parents, counsellors, teachers in confidence and explain what you have noticed and your concern and let them handle her parents and getting her support.
There's not much chance she will know it was you. Even if she did know and got angry in the end you will know you did the right thing. If you just let her be you aren't helping her problem and it could get worse.
Right now its affecting her schoolwork, relationships, and definitely health if all she is doing all day every day is getting wasted. It doesn't matter how hard the drug she's got a problem when she can't function without it. Someone needs to step up and that's you. You have to be brave and whatever happens will happen but you did right by her.

I've decided that I would like to write stories, design characters, and basically write movies, but I didn't know what the career was called, so I just guessed maybe scriptwriter... If you know the correct name, I'd be happy if you told me! Also, are there any really good colleges for this type of career? (link)
|
The correct terminology is screenwriter. There are a lot of college/university programs that teach strictly that or there are film schools that teach you to write, direct, edit and all about production.
There is also journalism which would be totally different from screenwriting but good to pick up so you can write just about anything and get it published.
For now take any English course you can that teaches creative writing and building characters as it will greatly help later if you have always been doing it.
As far as schools goes I'm not aware of where you are from, budget etc. or about schools outside of my own country. However, if you get Googling and researching it further the top schools and what you'll need should be apparent.

Okay, there are only two more days left of my drivers' training and my drivers' ed partner is totally cute and from the conversations we've had, we have some things in common. The only thing that bothers me is that he's into weed and I don't know much about it, I just know it's bad for you... Anyway, I really want to get to know him more and ask him out, but I'm afraid he might not like me back and I have no idea how to ask him out in the first place. We don't go to the same school and we're not taking segement 2 together!! I need help please, I really like this guy :') (link)
|
A person may be totally cute but are they right for you? Besides being handsome and a few conversations here and there what do you really know? He may be a great person or someone very troubled.
You don't know how severe his issues with drugs may be. Maybe he's just a recreational marijuana smoker and perhaps he's in to hard drugs or not. You don't know but he has issues with substances and that's not anything you need in your life.
A relationship could be dicey and yes you may succumb to that level with drugs if constantly around them or at the very least pot. It's a bad idea.
What you could do is make him your friend. This way you get an idea for who he is, his background and can help him. Tell him straight up when you see him that "ordinarily I would date someone like you in a flash. However, I've picked up upon an issue with marijuana. I would love to be your friend though and help you if you want it.
Then if he stops and looks like a good idea after than you have something. The other thing is maybe he has a g/f already and or only sees you as this girl from drivers education and has no plan to date you or see you after tomorrow. That's a risk you have to consider.

Going to Vegas for 5 nights on Dec 15 staying at the Mirage on one of the top floors in a very nice 1250 sq ft suite. Just Google Mirage Tower Suite and you'll see (look at the Mirage site, not the older pics since they're out of date).
Want to throw a sick party with fun people in the suite one of the night's that I'm there and am trying to figure out how to do it since I don't know anyone in Vegas.
Wondering if I like printed tickets for a party and handed them out for free admission? What would people think? Would they show?
Assuming that people would show (maybe like 5% of the people that got tickets?), then the question is: how to deal with the first people that show up? I mean, once there are people there and the room's not empty, it'd be OK. It'd look like a party. But the first people to show are going not see a party and it is going to be awkward.
Any advice? Oh, and it's on a floor with a private elevator, so that's a problem. I'll have to give out the code for people to get up there. I'm sure that the hotel management is not going to like that.
Is there a site where I can find other people traveling to Vegas around the same time? Maybe drum up some interest ahead of time?
(link)
|
EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING in the suite is the responsibility of the person whose name is on the rental agreement.
Guess what happens if someone trashes the place which is a big possibility or breaks something expensive? Regardless of who did it you'll foot the bill for it.
It's not a good idea to give out tickets to strangers or anyone buying to a party in a hotel suite. Can you imagine how many people would show up from all walks of life? If any of those people brought drugs and your party was busted up by hotel security or cops you get charged along with them.
Furthermore, if anyone was assaulted physically or sexually that's on you as well or if anyone overdosed. It can happen so I'm putting it out there. Party with people you know in Vegas.
Also, the hotel will and can throw you out in a heartbeat for noise at night or bad behavior and will not take kindly to people handing out a private buzzer code for the elevator.
Those elevators are locked for a reason. The hotel may have high-profile guests on other floors that could in fact require the security they're trying to uphold. They can get you charged with just about anything too.
Do yourself a favor and don't do this. If you have to party do it with people you know and split the costs of the suite so you avoid major headaches. This right now is so not a good idea and I think you wanted us to confirm that by writing in.
As long as you know all the consequences the decision is yours but I do hope you make the smart choice. You never know the grief you may be avoiding.

Me and 4 of my friends are going to Niagra falls for my friends spring break and we are looking for good bars and other atractions. If you know some please let me know.
thanks in advance (link)
|
Maid Of The Mist is a MUST. As far as attractions go there are great ones and then there are rip-offs. Fun House and Ripley's Believe It Or Not suck to be brutally honest.
I think you'll love Movieland. It's a wax museum with current and old scenes from movies that is very realistic. Madame Tussauds if it's still there is great and a legendary wax museum chain. The Niagara Falls Museum is worth the money too.
As far as bars goes I've got something a little different for you. I don't know if you have heard of Yuk Yuks Comedy Club but its the legendary comedy club chain where Jim Carrey, Russell Peters, Howie Mandell, Jay Leno and others gathered following.
Although not the famous Toronto club the Niagara Falls one is considered a hot spot and for shows around $20.00 it's pretty good cost wise with drinks and snacks. Check yukyuks.com and click on the Niagara Falls tab.
Will you be in Toronto for any part of the stay? Check out "Something Wicked Awesome This Way Comes" at Second City or our theater district.
As far as Niagara Falls attractions most of them will be found on Clifton Hill Avenue but aside from what I've mentioned a lot of them are pretty bad from memory.

You should be having appointments with your psychiatrist regarding your bipolar disorder frequently.
At those appointments tell the doctor exactly what you told us about life at home and what mom does. They can handle her and put a top to it and be your advocate.
Tell them what she says about these papers and the violence and they can make it so she's not your caregiver or in charge. Sounds like that needs to occur. If you have a caseworker as well tell them and they can deal with the situation.
It sounds as though she's not in a good place with her own illness and the violence needs to be stopped. She needs help more so than you do right now.
The doctors can get you into counseling or even separated temporarily or put her in the hospital to deal with the issues and keep you safe. You need to tell them even if she's in the room or nothing can change.
If concerned about your weight mention it to them and get on a plan that works for you to reduce it. They may even have programs you can join that makes that process more fun and instills confidence that you so badly lack.
You need to stand up to mom with these people present. They absolutely must know about your home life as that's an essential part of treating your disorder.
You can't hold stuff back or lie even if it means they need to hospitalize you temporarily. The more honest you are the more you avoid any kind of issue with bipolar and hospitals.

So there is this girl that goes to my school and she past away. But i wrote and long entry on my blog about her but I want to dedicate a song for her but it wasn't like we were best friends but I just want to show people just because you weren't friends doesn't mean you can't care so does anyone know any good songs for people who are just aquaintences. I don't care what I just want a song to show that I care and I want it to mean something special. Thanks (link)

How would this song be special if we picked it or suggested it? That wouldn't serve your purpose at all. The best thing to do is be patient and keep listening to different material until something jumps out which it will. That will keep it true to what you wanted to achieve.
What means something to me lyrically will mean something different to you or someone else for that matter. It's all subjective but I know if you are patient and hunt around on your own you'll find it and that will be much more meaningful than using our song choices believe me.
