ask me anything :)

advice

alcohol?
why do so many people drink it. i've tried it && i hate it alot. do people just not like it and drink it anyways or do they actually like it?
jusst wonderrring :) thankss for readingg

I don't like it either. Everyones taste buds are different. Some people just simply like the taste. Others do it to fit in [which is probably 90% of teens, actually, probably more]. I don't see how alcohol would make you "cool", but that's just me. Some people do it because everything else in their life is falling apart. Everyone is different.

what are the symptoms of tonsillitis? im pretty sure i have it and my mother wont take me to the doctors for antibiotics.

-Fever
-Bad breath
-Nasal congestion and runny nose
-Swollen lymph nodes
-Red, swollen tonsils, covered completely or in patches by pus
-Difficulty swallowing
-Headache
-Abdominal pain
-Raw, bleeding patches on the tonsils
-Visibile growth of bacteria on the tonsils.

When sore throat is accompanied by coldlike symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and coughing, the cause is most likely a virus. Viral infection of the tonsils usually goes away without treatment within 2 weeks.

Sore throat with a sudden fever above 101 F-milder fever may indicate a viral infection-and swollen lymph nodes may indicate a bacterial infection. Anyone with these symptoms should see a health professional for diagnosis because of the risk of strep throat. Although strep throat will usually go away even without treatment, an untreated strep infection can lead to complications including rheumatic fever, which can permanently damage the heart.

I was wondering when it's 15 dollars for one person to get into 6 flags.I think its like july 2-6? I need to know quickly. The six flags web site isnt working on my computer & it wont let me get in. All I need to know is when are the days to get a friend in for 15 dollars with a season pass?
please & thank you. Btw, do you get 4 free tickets with the pass or not?

When you buy three tickets online, the fourth is free, which are good July 2nd - July 6th - with a season pass. You were right.

what are some good quotes or song lyrics that have to do with death/someone dying..
like

and in the end, i hope you had the time of your life

Here's a few:

That's all I could find. Sorry if most weren't what you wanted. I remembered the first one from when i went to DC last year. I don't know of any lyrics either, sorry. Maybe try googling 'sad songs', or something along those lines. I know "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban was played at my mom's friend's funeral, and she thought it was really nice. But that's all I know. I hope I helped somewhat.

Is there a way to delete your history on your internet? LIke i deleted the actual history section...but when i go to the address section like it still pops up? Is there anyway to fix this?

Go to Tools --> delete browsing history--> delete history [third one down]. That should delete the websites you've visited in the address bar.

how do you say "much" in French?

Beaucoup.

Some didn't have straps, sorry. I think the one you had was cute, even if it was poofy. Good luck finding a dress and have fun at your friends party! :)

Edit: I went to Macy's today and I saw the same dress, not poofy, in a lavender. So, try there.

What is ActiveX Control?!!?
Im trying to download Toontown but it wont work! Ugh. That yellow bar comes up and I click install ActiveX control but then I get brought back to toontown's homepage and NOTHING happens?! What am I supposed to do? This is soo annoying. I tried their trouble shooting page, but all they have is help to get the bar to show up if it doesn't. Which is no help to me.

So what do I do, how do I get it to work? To make a long story short, when I click download toontown, it brings me to the page, asks me to install active x, I click okay, it brings me back to toontowns homepage and absolutly nothing at all happens after that.

Help?

I had the exact same problem. I enabled all the ActiveX things.[Go to Tools -->Manage Add-ons --> Enable or Disable add-ons.] Then, I went to Adobe.com and clicked on Get Adobe Reader. It should work after that. You might be able to just Get Adobe Reader. I was just clicking on stuff to get it to work, and that seemed to work.

im not sure if this is in the right category or not. i brush my teeth in the morning but five minutes later i get this bad taste inmy mouth like morning breath but i still have a kind of hint of teh toothpaste. how do i get better breath and keep it without hte mint fading within ten minutes?

Try using mouthwash when you're done brushing. Brushing your tongue and gums will help to. Carry mints. Do both of these things and it should go away.

so i heard that lemon juice + a blowdryer = highlights... but i thought it was the light from the sun that highlighted your hair, not the heat? so would a blowdryer work?

Yeah. They both work. The sun probably has the best results, but a blowdryer still works fine. I don't recommend sun-in, though. I tried it and it turned my hair orange.

Are there any websites where you can watch movies for free?

Alluc.org and plentyvideos.com are really good. I use them and most have pretty good quality. They don't have a ton of movies, but they have a few good ones.

I am being made to go to a stupid after edding party of someone in my family i havent seen for years or even remember. i only own casual clothes like jeans and stuff. i dont wear skirts . what sorta thing shall i get or is there something i can throw together. Please help me !

Simple black pants would work. Just wear those with a nice shirt and black shoes. Also, like the other person said, accessories will really help to throw the outfit together and make it looked dressed up.

how do you delete the history on your computer? thanks in advance and ill rate!

On the top where it says file, edit, view, and all that, click on tools -> delete browsing history. Then, click on the third one down.

I like quotes and sayings and stuff a LOT...but i can't find any sites for them. ones like, "Hold me like I mean something, Kiss me like I don't." (i made that up!!) and emo ones, and love ones, and stuff like that. can you help?

Go to xanga.com, then type in aim profiles, or quotes or something. Or you could google away messages, love quotes, aim profiles, something like that. Photobucket.com has some too.

i want to be certified as a lifeguard, just take the courses. is their any place in CT that will let you take it? or any other places people know of. also, did anyone here get certified as a lifeguard? and what did you have to do? thanks so much.

I'm 15/f by the way.

Well, I live in Ohio, but here, you have to complete seven years of swimming lessons. You can get certified at your local pool. I googled my local pools and I found this: WATER SAFETY AID: Fee: $20 per 3-week session at (___) and (___). Offered during regular Learn-to-Swim programs. For swimmers 11 years and up who have completed a Basic Water Safety Class. Successful completion makes a student eligible for morning swim class volunteering to help younger students. Check schedule for offering at your pool.
Try googling your local pool and you might find something. I personally don't know what you have to do and stuff, I quit swimming lessons either going into level six or after six. But I think you just complete the seven levels, and then take a final test to get certified.

So I really like this show called "the best years" and its really new. It just premiered yesterday. So anyways the main actress, charity shea (that's her real name) well I like her hair a lot. And I wanna get my hair cut like hers. So I went on google but there no pics of her with straight hair so the person cutting my hair could see what it was cut like, so if anyone can find me pics of her with straight hair or w.e then thank u sooo much

The blonde ones are straight : http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/3153/CharitySha_Grant_5148351_400.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Shea%2C%20Charity&seq=10

is kite runner autobiographical in any way?

Hah. I'm almost done with this book. I'm on the last chapter. Anyway, some of it is. He did grow up in Kabul, however, his dad didn't die. The Taliban did ban kite running in Kabul, and I think a lot of it after that was made up.

is it better to let hair air dry? or use the cold air option that are sometimes on blow dryer?

It's better to let it air dry because the blow dryer's heat damages your hair. I'm pretty sure the cold one is better than the hot, but air drying is best.

ok well i havent had sex, or anything close to that. i havent even made out with a guy!!! but my period is late, and i dunno what to do. should i go to the doctor?? is this normal??? HELP MEEE
