Hey everyone. I have started to read a little bit lately, and I was wondering if any of you could list some books that are good. Fiction is the main cateogory that I would like to read. Your help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks, Caleb
I'm not sure what you're into, so you might wanna check out these books at barnesnoble.com or amazon.com and see if the descriptions interest you.
- The Outsiders
- Aria of the Sea
- The Third Eye
- The Giver
- From the Corner of His Eye (DEFINITELY RECOMMEND it!)
- After
- Aragorn
Does anyone know how to give a picture a "cartoon" effect using adobe or psp?
You could use Edge Preserving Smooth (or something like that) and play around with the numbers until it looks "cartoony". I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about, but obviously no one's given you an answer so I thought I'd give it a try. If all else fails, google it.
how can i find the right girlfriend, without getting hurt like cheated on?
- Be good friends first.
- Know each other well.
- Don't be too attached.
- Understand that things happen.
Every relationship goes through obstacles and these are tests. These tests determine how strong each relationship is. Dating is about bonding with someone, gaining new experiences, and learning what you need and want. If things don't work out you move on and live life.
Can i ask seriously. When people come on this. Do they answer questions genuinely to help people and hopefully help them through a tough patch or whatever; or do they do it for ratings? It makes me mad when you see a confused person askin a serious question; only for it to be answered by someone. Who at the end makes it obvious(or seemingly) that they don't care byu saying "please rate"Ok i know they jus want acknowledgement and appreciation. But if the person is willing to or want to im sure they will. Why do you ask or say things like this? I really don't know so any answers are appreciated.

"Why do you ask or say things like this?"
You can't say "you" because I NEVER end my answer with "rate me!"
Some people are too caught up in ratings. That's just the way it is. Like rich people. They don't really need money, but they want it. Why ratings should matter I'm not sure (Well, unless you're a mod because then you need to keep your ratings up). Advicenators answering questions do take the time to answer questions and try to help, so they really WOULD appreciate a rating and feedback at least for their trouble, but either way people will rate others whether they want to or not. I don't see how "rate me!" will really help.
But there aren't just answers that say "rate me!". There are painfully many questions that say "I RATE HIGH!" and things like that. Just take a look around. I guess it's pretty much equal on both sides (although very sad and annoying).
Rate me! Just kidding.
OK..I ALWAYS go to bed late. If I try to go to bed early, i still don't go to bed until about
3-4AM. I've tried not to stay on the computer and tried to clear my mind and everything and i still cant sleep. After that i have a tendancy to wake up a tiny bit late (10-11 AM)..And i mean a couple times i may get to bed if I'm lucky around 1AM..i dont know what to do and my mom just thinks that i stay up on purpose so she doesnt wanna help me..what do you thinks wrong?? is there anything to prevent this from happening anymore?? thanks!!!
It might not work right away, but it WILL if you pick something keep doing something consistantly every night.
Here are tips to help you:
1. Stay up for a whole 24 hours if you can. If you can't, I'd try to stay awake for as long as you can, taking a quick nap, and waking up. After a day of no sleep, you'll be awfully tired. Wait until the time you'd like to go to sleep (Like 10 PM or something) and then sleep. You'll sleep like a log and you'll be back on track!
2. Maybe you can't sleep earlier because you're on the computer. When I'm on the computer, I can be on for hours and not feel at all sleepy. You should probably limit yourself from the computer.
3. If you're laying in bed and you can't sleep, maybe it's because you have too much on your mind. If that's the case, take a notepad, and write your thoughts down. Clear your head. In the morning you can go back to those ideas later.
4. Listening to classical or boring music might help. Or you can try any music, actually. Whatever works for you.
5. When you're trying to sleep, don't think about anything. Just clear your mind and concentrate on your breathing. Some people think about being on a rollercoaster, concentrating on the twists and turns. You could also try that, however whenever I try that I end up thinking about how fun it was and then I can't fall asleep. Lol.
6. Try reading. Eventually your eyes will get tired and you'll drift off to sleep.
7. Watch TV. You can put it on sleep mode, so it won't be on all night after you've fallen asleep.
8. Eat something and/or milk. You could also try a warm drink, like tea or hot cocoa. After having a full stomach, you might feel sleepy.
9. Take a walk. After a long walk, you'll feel tired and ready for bed.
I hope things work out for you! =)
I want to put a GuestBook, or a comment box on my webpage, not where you have to click this link to get there, and blah blah blah, but where it is on the website and you type what you think and your done .. and its posted to the website ..
anyone know how to do this, or a place where it is simple to learn, or where to get a html code for it .. ??

I used this myself. Much better than the others because there are no pop ups or big ugly ads and whatnot.

I think I love this boy named Mat. I'm not sure. Every time I think about him I feel sick and I cry. Everytime I hear the song We Belong Together by Maria Carrie I think about him and I cry. He was the first boy I ever held hands with on the bus, and he broke up with me that night. I cried myself to sleep every night. Please tell me what is wrong with me. I am 12, and I am a girl.
- Chelsea Leigh
You THINK you love him. Honestly, I don't think you love him. 1) You're a bit young to really see what love is and what infatuations are and 2) When you're in love you don't "think", you KNOW. Not trying to put you down here; just telling you the truth. I know you think I don't know what I'm talking about, but even if you think that in the future you'll understand what I meant.
You will get over it. But the only way to get over it is to LET yourself get over it. So stop crying yourself to sleep at night. Start doing things you love doing. Go out with family or friends.
Holding hands with one boy for the first time doesn't have to mean anything. There will be other boys and they'll hold your hand, give you your first kiss, etc.
You're only twelve. Other people have gone through their teens, even their adult years without a boyfriend. I think you can live without having a preteen boyfriend.
Dating is all about bonding with someone, gaining new experiences, and finding out what you need and want. If things don't work out, you move on and live life.
Feel better...NOW!
a few days ago, my friend slept over at my house. she's worried about me because she thinks im starving myself!! i dont eat breakfast ; ususally have a pop tart or a bagel for lunch ; and mostly crackers for dinner. i dont think im starving myself.. but she does and my other friends are seeing it too. what do u think? im scared.. i dont want to be starved. please help .. ill rate high for good answers!!
You aren't "starving" yourself, but you are slowly killing yourself. You should be scared...please try to eat "healthier". And by that I mean you should eat like a big upsidown triangle. Breakfast is the MOST important meal. Eat a lot of it and eat less as the day goes. I promise if you eat like that you will not get fat.
When you don't eat you will eventually eat twice as much as you would usually eat because you are so hungry and you have those cravings. That's no good. And even if you didn't eat twice as much it's still a problem because you're slowly killing yourself.
Think about it. Your body NEEDS energy to function ALL day. Where does it get it? From food! So don't ever deprive your body from fuel to keep it going!
Please take the time to read these articles about metabolism.

What is the purpose of life? like why are we even here?
Honestly this question shouldn't be on an advice site because 1) it's not asking for advice and 2) no one's going to answer your question. It's all based on your beliefs and opinions. If you want my opinion here it is:
Life is what you make it and you have to make your own purporse. You have to make goals you want to accomplish like make it a better world or find true love or learn everything before you die etc. Without goals you don't have a purpose and you're just waiting to die. I don't know if a god exists so I believe we're here because we just evolved into humans over time and here we are with all of our pollution and whatnot lol.
i see people that have these things that say something and it keeps going .. like it will say "i love you" and it will scroll sideways, how do you do it ??
Another question .. I want my website to look awesome, any tips ?? Or websites that i could get help off of, or skins,layouts,ideas ??
Thanks
That's called a marquee. Check out this website for codes:

I definitely recommend for you to learn HTML. Maybe you know some HTML; maybe you don't, but there's lots to learn even if you do know some. There are a lot of free sites that teach HTML, so I suggest you do a google search on that. You can use premade layouts as a learning experience, but you should definitely learn how to do it on your own.
OK so i met this guy online like 5 yrs ago. We have gotten to close and we both love each other SO much. He lives in florida but plans to move closer to me by next summer.i really want to be w/ him but im really scared i don't know if its right. Should i tell him to go ahead and move here or tell him to wait or something?
THANX

There have been lots of questions about online relationships. If you want to see my opinion, check out this answer I've written to another question:
http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=HyperactiveMiss&mode=qview&q=339867
Look what this chick did online without thinking:
http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=HyperactiveMiss&mode=qview&q=347926
And even if you don't listen to me, at least please listen to this: be SAFE! If you plan on meeting up with him face to face NEVER go alone and DO NOT keep the relationship as a secret.
I am totally in love with my boyfriend. I want to be with him all the time, and usually we hang out on a daily basis. The thing is, I also want to hang out with my three really close friends. I think they are starting to get mad at me because I'm starting to hang out with him more than them. I want to be with them all, and it's awkward when all of us hang out together.. What should I do..? PS- please don't tell me to "balance it out" or anything, I've tried it, and everyone just gets mad!
I'm sorry to say this but you DO need to "balance it out". Are you SURE you're balancing it out? Maybe you think you are, but really you're not. You have been hanging out with your friends on days AND you've been going out on dates with your boyfriend on other days? Not just hanging out with your friends at school and spending all out of school hours with your boyfriend?
You need to get your priorities straight. For example: If it's a movie night with your friends and it's your boyfriend's anniversary...what's more important? I'd say the anniversary. If your boyfriend just wants to go out and your friends want to go to a one time concert what's more important? I'd say the concert. Because once you get the "important" or once in a while things out of the way those people won't be mad at you for blowing off something important. With events that aren't AS important you can always make them up later (And make sure that you do!). Your friends need to see this so you should explain that to them.
Whether it's "awkward" for all of you to hang out or not, you NEED to set up at least once in a while for a day with all of you. Why? Because if your friends and your boyfriend get to know each other better they'll understand why you want to "balance it out". Or even if they don't like each other they should at least see you care about both groups and it's very important to you. Plus if they end up becoming friends that's even better.
If you haven't noticed I suggested things you already cancelled out in your mind. The thing is...you CAN'T cancel things out. You MUST try them all if you want both relationships to succeed even if it will cause problems on the way. If you don't try you might as well give up. I speak from experience; I really do. I have gone through this before and now both relationships (with my friends and with my boyfriend) are balanced and healthy.
If one group (Your boyfriend or your friends) is not willing to accept you have to balance both groups out, you need to drop them. It's hard. But think about it. If they want to hog you all for themselves...isn't that selfish? Are they even thinking about you at all? Whatever happens just realize it is a learning experience and everything is a TEST. It is a test to see which relationship is the strongest.
Good luck!
I need MAJ0R help. Okay, I just recently have a guy friend named Josh. Josh is not cute - AT ALL but, you know hes SUPER nice & sweet. So I talk to him online a lot. He started off being friendly, then gave me like an HOURS worth of compliments, "youre so amazing and gorgeous" ETC..and I was flattered but thought he was just being friendly. Then he goes will you go out with me? so of course i start freaking out and being like, no i dont want a bf sorry etc. and he goes YOU JUST GOT PUNKd!! So I laughed it off. Then tonight I was saying how I want a bf so badly and he again goes will you go out with me? And Then i told him i just wanted to be friends, and he said this and I quote. "that is because you want us to be just friends, you could decide that you want us to be more than friends" I dont know what to do!! Hes NOT taking a hint at all! I dont want to break his heart but were strictly friends ! I like someone esle a LOT. What do i do??
Okay...well it seems like you are bringing it on yourself. Before you say "OMG this girl doesn't know what she's talking about" just read on. You were saying how you wanted a boyfriend so badly! Uh...you shouldn't say that to Josh because that's TOTALLY giving him the wrong impression. It's letting him think you want him to ask you out.
So my advice to you? If you don't want him asking you out, don't give him hints like "I want a boyfriend!" and stuff like that. Of course he won't be able to take the hint if you give in other misleading hints. You won't break his heart if you don't lead him on. Therefore don't lead him on (even if you're not doing it on purpose).
Just curious, but...what does him not being cute have to do with this? If he's super sweet and nice his looks shouldn't matter. But whatever, it's your life and I'm just bringing this up for you to think about.
I have acne on my back and i was wondering is there any kind of product i can use to get rid of it? Thanks
Try Proactiv! It's supposed to work on all pimples...whether on your butt or face. lol. I just answered a question about Proactiv so you might wanna check this out:
- http://advicenators.com/qview.php?q=349017
My bestfriend(who is a guy) asked me out and i said yes bc i had feelings for him 2...how to i stop the awkwardness between us now that we're going out...it seems to good to be true that it finally happened..but there is some tension between us..plzz help
First of all...you sent that question to me two times.
Anyway. Well, you both have feelings for each other so the awkwardness will go away eventually. I said this before to a previous question, but I think friends first is awesome because you guys already get along well and know a lot about each other. Of course it will seem a little weird at first, but if you just give it a chance and do things like talking to him more, holding his hand, giving him hugs, kiss him, and going on dates with him it will eventually feel normal. Not much else you can do but go with it, talk to him, and wait it out.
i don't know what to do because my boyfriend got grounded and he says he's going to sneak out to see me but last time he did that he got caught and got grounded for even longer. I've been trying to talk him out of it but its not working. what things can i say to him to try to talk him out of it because if he gets caught then we won't be able to see eachother for even longer.
Explain to him he got caught before and it's going to happen again. Tell him it's better not to take chances. You could also say if he really does love you he'll respect your opinion and his parents. Tell him if he gets grounded it'll just make it worse and you can't bear not seeing him for even longer and you can't bear seeing him in trouble. If you disobey your parents it'll just make it worse and you'll dig yourself into a bigger hole. It's easier to just wait it out and then be completely out of trouble. Explain that to him. Sorry if nothing works...I guess it's his fault he's so in love with you and won't listen to anyone (even you!) lol. Good luck!
One of my best guy friends of several years asked me out a while ago. It feels a little awkward since we're liek really good friends..well i was wondering how to frnech kiss him...like in a movie setting or one of our basemeents...i would like to know if ur able to give me some tips on how to hook up w. him
Hello. Maybe you haven't seen my advice column or previous answers but I've already written on kissing, so read these if you'd like to learn how to kiss:
- http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=308815
- http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=HyperactiveMiss&mode=qview&q=329286
It might feel awkward he's your good friend, but whatever you do at least try it out and don't back out. I think friends first is awesome because that way you really know each other and you already get along easily. As for where you can kiss him...anywhere! Movies, basement, front door, in the rain, anywhere...as long as it's not somewhere like in front of elderly people or in a bookstore and places like that lol.
Good luck!
is proactive really good for acne? i mean.. i dont get REAL bad acne but when i get pimples they get real red ..so do you think proactive is right for me and how much is it? where can i get it
First of all it's spelt as "Proactiv" lol. Just saying in case you look for the website and realize there is no "Proactive" website. Haha.
Proactiv might be right for you. You'll never know until you try. If it's too expensive for you to buy the whole kit I suggest you at least buy the Revitalizing Toner.
When I first used it, it gave me results worked in days! It's been years and I still use it (And my acne is no longer attacking my forehead like it used to years ago). I'm just telling you this so you can know that it has worked on someone. It won't work with everyone, but I definitely recommend you try it.
Does shaving your legs make your skin rough and make the hair grow darker? I've been using many other products like exfoliators that don't work, and my parents refuse to buy me a hair removal cream because of the excess of chemicals. I want to shave my legs, but I don't want the hair to be coarse and dark. Is this a myth? Should I shave? My hair is already really dark, because I have black hair...
Do yourself a favor and don't shave. It does make the hair rougher and darker. Maybe not for everyone, but it's true for most people. My cousin has it especially bad. She shaves everyday and her legs have gotten scarred, black dots, ingrown hair, etc. It's not too purdy. Plus, do you really want to shave each day? How annoying.
I recommend waxing. It doesn't leave your hair ugly and darker and coarse. Although you'll have to get waxed every 3 weeks or months or so (depends on your hair) it's a lot better than shaving everyday. And waxing may even give you less hair on your leg eventually. Oh yeah, about the pain? Nothing big. The first time will hurt (of course). But with everytime you wax it will hurt even less. Why? Because for one thing you get used to it and there is less hair anyway.
If you wan't wax, just don't do anything else. Chemicals...bleh...shaving...bleh. I think you're better off the way you are now than making your hair even worse. Good luck on whatever you decide!
im 13 i have never kissed n i dont no what to do!
