hey ok so i babysit my neighbor and she is like 9 and her older brother is like 13 and im 14 but almost 15 and her older brother always has his friends over when im babysitting.. and one of his friends is REALLY tall and kinda cute(he kinda looks like he could pass for a sophmore or junior in high school).. would that be totally weird to like a guy thats like 2 grades lower than me? im a freshman in highschool and hes in 7th grade . thanks

From there:

Age is just a number. Think about it. What are your parents ages? Chances are that they are about 2 or 3 years different. My mom is 45 and my dad is 46- they're close- but let's pretend my dad is a 9th grader- well my mom would be an 8th grader. Is it weird that they're married? No. So does the situation change because they're younger? No. And if someone or anyone thinks that- they are just a bubbling idiot and they deserve to be smacked across the face. Only kidding. =D. But seriously, it isn't weird. If both of you are fine with it- then who CARES what the heck other people think? I certainly don't care that you're dating a 7th grader- age is just a number, again, and its only odd if you're a 9th grader dating a 45 year old man. =D.

REVIEWS ON THE BlackBerry Pearl 8110 PHONE PLEASE!!!!

I found a few online, mostly because I don't have one, and I'm assuming not many of us do, either.

http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001703,42834997p,00.htm

From there:

The good: GPS; built-in 3.5mm headphone jack.

The bad: Nearly identical to other Pearl models.

The bottom line: Compared to the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 and 8120, the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8110 boasts a very useful GPS feature. If you're addicted to BlackBerry handsets and need a sat-nav, then it's definitely worth having a look at this model--but don't expect anything different in the design department compared to the original Pearl.



http://www.yourmobilephonereviews.co.uk/blackberry_pearl_8110_reviews.htm

From there:

The BlackBerry Pearl 8110 is a desirable Smartphone which comes with a full QWERTY keyboard & high quality communication features.

Can you be taught to sing if your voice isnt that bad anyways? If so them any advice would be great because i love broadway and musicals they are my passion so i am determined to learn to sing loud and well!

http://www.geocities.com/singingtips/sing.html

That is my friend's website about singing. It offers some great tips ;]

Here are some of them:


You do not necessarily need a voice coach.

Drinking water is great.

Singing a cappella has nothing to do with the way that you use your voice.

Now for my advice. I have answered these quations numerous times, so I hope that you don't mind me copying and pasting my own answers.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Practice makes permanent?" Regardless, it really does, so you need to learn how to read and write music.



There's a lot more, but just read her site; she knows what she's talking about =]

im a 13 year old girl and i havent even started my period and i am having sex dreams and i masterbate at least 5-9 times a day and i think it would be fun to have kinky sex so i guess what im really asking is should i have sex?

The fact that you're questioning whether you should or not means you aren't ready. Aside from the fact that you're only 13 and you have your entire life ahead of you to have sex, you just shouldn't have it. In fact, a lot of people regret losing their virginity so early in their life.

However, if you do plan to have sex, please use protection.

how can i preventing vaginal farting aka queefing during sex?

http://www.healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=560702

Read those, they offer good information.

From what I read, you can't entirely prevent it unless you don't have sex. But just see what they said.

is it possible for me to get pregant if i take off the patch before having sex it was 3day before changing patches?

It's unlikely, but any time you have sex, you run the risk of getting pregnant. What I would do is wait about a week and take a pregnancy test.

From now on, if you don't want to risk becoming pregnant, use a condom and try to get on birth control, too.

I'm not sure how well the patch works...

I've been thinking about getting a pet — something extremely low maintenance. Already dead would be ideal. Where should I look?

Fist are extremely low-maintenance. All you have to do is drop food in their tank once a day and maybe clean out their tank once a week. But you can easily buy a filter that can do the job for you.

You can buy fish at Meijer or at your local pet store ;]

how much would it cost to switch from cingular to verizon?

The two are not affiliated, and therefore there are separate costs. One cost is to cancel a plan with cingular, unless your contract is over. You can ask your wireless company about it, but it should also be on their website:

http://www.cingularwireless.com/

Then, you have to pay to set up a plan for verizon, which can actually be very cheap, depending on what you do. Go to a verizon store, or visit their website for more information. You can ask about the cheapest plans, or any other questions you may have:

What does it mean to have your cherry popped? Does it hurt? What happens after and what's so important about it?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=popping%20the%20cherry

From what I've gathered on this site, it is sort of painful.

What happens afterward is that you bleed.

Generally what is so important about it is that it's when a woman loses her virginity, though her hymen can break from falling down stairs, off her bike, etc.

so we had met through one of my friends from church, and he went to a different school, and so the first time we met, and so, id never been kissed, let alone made out with somebody! and he claims he has gotten to third base, uh huh. but we had just srated to kiss, when he thinks he will get up my shirt, and i kept saying, no, no, not here, and shit like that, and then after the movie his friends showed up to meet me, and all the girls started yelling 'slut' and shit, well, myplan was to make out with him infront of them, and then dump him, but im not very good at being mean, so he doesnt even touch me in front of them, i dont get a kisss goodby, and i havnt heard from him since! are guys seriously all like this?? cause they seem to be that way to me!

girl-14-failiar at life.

No, not all guys are like this. This guy is a jerk, and I personally wouldn't even worry about ever talking to him again. He just let his friends call you a slut when it was him making all of the moves on you. That doesn't make YOU a slut. If anything, that makes him a slut.

There are plenty of guys out there who aren't like that, and trust me, you'll find one. ;]

so how do i make a columnists thing? you know the place where people can ask you questions.

As a matter of fact, you can do so right here.

When you're on the main page at http://www.advicenators.com, click on the "Join" link, and it gives you all of the steps to do so.

Then again, I think you have to be registered to ask a public question, like you just did.

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask me.

hi! okay so theres this song that i know is pretty old. it says something about they'll come back for you and they won't come back for you. it's got a sum41/blink-182/simple plan kind of sound. i've googled everything possible and listened to free samples of all the songs but i can't seem to find it! itd be greatly appreciated if you could help me out. p.s. it's got a little bit of a slower beat too. thanks!

http://lyrics.astraweb.com/display/214/bowling_for_soup..the_great_burrito_extortion_case..if_you_come_back_to_me_outro.html

Hey. I don't know if this is right, but you could see:

Artist: Bowling for Soup
Album: The Great Burrito Extortion Case
Title: If You Come Back to Me / Outro



You were right all along.
You know I hate that, admitting I was wrong.
So I don't answer the phone when it's you.
It's funny when I see the caller I.D.
Shows the phone line's still in your dad's name.
So hey, I'm doing OK.

And I'll get back to you if you come back to me.
Your voice is so Marilyn Monroe.
It's funny how that makes me wanna smash the phone.
I wonder if J.F.K. ever felt this way.
All alone, like Summer when it snows.
So out of place, so out of those fake smiles.
I used to do so well.
And here's the part of the song
Where I start to break down like my broken heart.
But it's not gonna matter
The lines are all down from a hurricane
They should have named after you.
Maybe I should get a Scorpions ringtone
To remind me of you.

[CHORUS]
So hey, I'm doing OK.
And I'll get back to you if you come back to me.
Oh, here we go.
Just like a broken record skippin' apart
That we both oughta know by heart.
([2nd time:]
And I can still hear you singing along)

We were right there,
And now it seems so tragic.
No happy ending,
Now this whole thing seems so drastic.
You asked me 20 times
Where we could find our magic.
Ask David Copperfield or even Rick O'Casic.
David Blaine,(where's the magic?)
Lance Burton, (where's the magic?)
Harry Potter,(where's the magic?)
I used to think pop rocks were magic.
Sigfried and Roy, (where's the magic?)
Shaquille O'Neal,
(why'd you leave the magic?)
You asked me 20 times,
Or was it 28,
And your greatest trick ever
Was your great escape.

[CHORUS]

"you were the only one that i liked,
you were the only one that wanted,
but you walked away from me,
I had to put up with my god damn life,
while you were gone and i was haunted,
I miss you come back, wont you please?"

you left that as an answer to a question about lyrics about wanting someone you can't have or something. what song is it from? because i can't find it anywhere. thanks.

I've searched those lyrics, both together, and line-by-line, and I cannot find anything.

Like Laura said, it might just be a quote.

I got my period on May 3rd and then got it again on May 26th. I was not due to get it unitl June 4th. So I got it twice in May. Then I started bleeding again when I was really supposed to get it on June 4th. Its not brownish in color where I would of thought it was just the end of a period that I got on May 26th its very red. Do you know what could have happened?

Periods are not very regular when you're a teenager. In fact, few teens actually have a regular period. I don't think anything is wrong with you, but then again I'm not a doctor. If you're unsure and you want to know if everything is fine- ask your doctor. They will know better than us.

1. Money makes me happy
2. Money enables me to help others.
3. Money is the most important thing in life.
4. Love is more important than money.
5. We need beauty in our lives.

Do you agree with it? Why?

I slightly agree with number one. Money can make you happy by getting you something that isn't just a materialistic thing, but maybe get you something that means a lot to you.

I agree with the second one. And when I'm older, I will definitely adhere to it more when I actually have money and can give to charity.

I strongly disagree with the third one. Money is important, but it isn't the most important thing. I believe God is the most important, then everything else falls under that.

I completely agree with the fourth statement. Love is something intangible, and often the things that are most important are the things we cannot get our hands on, literally.

Yes, we need beauty, but not superficial beauty. In fact, I think that beauty doesn't have to be looks. It can be with paintings, literature, or a number of things. I think many things are beautiful, and we need beauty.

i have this really good guy friend who i really like. but i want him to love me back! i dont know how he feels but we talk about our relationships with pased bf or gf with each other. i feel like i NEED TO KNOW!!!

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=506340

From there:
I'm going to give you a list of what guys tend to do when they like girls:

1. They don't call you "sexy". They call you "beautiful", "gorgeous", "amazing", etc.

2. They make an effort to hug you. They might high-5 instead, but it really depends on the guy in question.

3. They DO find any reason to touch you in some way. Mostly it ISN'T in a sexual way. Its more of just an excuse to remember what you feel like, I guess. Its hard to explain...

4. He is always smiling around you. If you're feeling bad and he's around- he'll be smiling because he knows that he's there to help you- and that's like brownie points for a guy if they can help a girl out. That, like the above, is hard to explain.

5. He'll tell you things about himself that he normally wouldn't tell everyone. He opens up to you. Guys don't get a chance to do that when pressured to "be manly".

6. If you have a feeling that a guy likes you- you're probably right. Guys aren't the best at hiding it- and girls are even better at figuring these type of things out.

If you like this guy- and he does all or most of those things- my best bet is that he does like you. That means one and only one thing: Ask him to make sure, and then try the relationship out. Who knows- it could be great!
