If you need random people in a forum to tell you whether you look pretty or resemble Medusa than there's a lot going on with your lack of self-image than you indicated.
There's nothing wrong with your looks but you need to feel beautiful inside and out no matter what anyone else says. If you feel ugly it's nonsense or that people don't like you or your looks it's rubbish. If it's really tearing away at you talk to a councillor about it affecting self-esteem.

NEW:
I'm better off not answering and receiving a 1 for telling the truth than you having people on the Internet do your homework and copying their answers as your own? THINK. Do your own homework. One day you'll get tripped up because you didn't rely on your own self.
Are you really that desperate not to read the damn book and do your own work? Says more of you and your character, convictions and knowing right from wrong than me.
One day and I hope it's sooner than later for you to wake-up you'll be taking some kind of test you weren't prepared for and BANG you'll be in trouble because you NEVER did your own homework. Imagine if this book study is on your final exam. What the hell will you do then? Crack a book open it won't hurt you. Earn your grade legitimately.
ORIGINAL ANSWER:
Am I right to assume this is your homework assignment that you can't do yourself but want our answers so you can pass them off as yours? That's how it looks and rather blatant at that. We don't do that here.
The teacher wants your thoughts and conclusions not ours. READ THE BOOK! Do your own homework and you'll easily answer what your homework is on it.
Even if we did help not everyone has read the book nor will feed you correct answers.
You're going on what we say rather than doing the leg-work. You'll get tripped up either way. This also isn't good as it's one step below plagarism and using other people's answers as your own if this is indeed homework.
If you want to know the setting, plot, climax, irony and suspenseful parts of the book just read the damn thing and take notes and hand those in. If it's for personal interest once again read the book yourself and form an opinion. Beware of doing this ever again on a school assignment as the teacher can and will catch you using answers not attributed to people taken from the internet and can rule it plagiarism.

does anyone know how much it cost the hershey factories to make milk chocolate and milk chocolate with almond kisses in 1990? It doesnt have to be exact just like a reasonable amount. I would assume that the ones with almonds cost more. Also how much a bag of them cost, how long the factory making them was open, and how long it took to make each one of them? or where i could find this information? again, it doesnt have to be exact, just a reasonable amount. It's for a school project. (link)
| |
Why not call Hershey at their headquarters and tell them what you are doing for school and ask them for the proper contact. You may wind up with more than the answer for bothering to do so for your class. That's the best place to get an accurate number. If they don't know nobody does.

kso, 14/f
I am going to the pool with my crush and other friends on Saturday, and its Tuesday right now! and I have a few zits that arnt going away! I have a lot of little bumps on my forehead, a couple on my chin and a few by my nose. They are red and pretty small but I dont want them to get bigger!! I have read ways to get rid of them but they are creams and tea tree oil and stuff, but I dont have money, or roses that grow in the winter!
So, my question to you is, what are some easy remidies around the house to clean it up in a matter of day! Thanks so much!! (link)
|
Even if you had the money those methods don't work beyond small amount of acne. What you need to do is SAVE your money and go talk to a family doctor and get referred to a dermatologist.
That doctor can give you a prescription that eats away (literally burns them off) and keeps them away. Family doctors might have a sample tube but beyond that you need to see the specialist unless your doctor can prescribe the same medication.
It usually takes longer than a week or so to notice big difference but there's a shot it can improve the situation a little better by Saturday but not get to the really bad acne.
Stuff you buy on the Internet or in stores can't combat your problem because they don't have any medication in them strong enough to destroy them, the bacteria that causes it and unclog your pores.

I have an interview for college coming up and I am CLUELESS as to what to say, do, wear, etc.
What do they ask?
What should I refrain from doing?
Etc. ? (link)
|
They will ask about your goals, interests and what makes you the right fit for their program. Don't offer up personal info unless asked a direct question.
They're bound to ask about life experience as it relates to you being able to succeed in the future and if you have in the past. They want to get a sense of your dedication towards being in their field versus someone who picked it without much thought (believe me they see more of that than anything else).
I would stick to business casual as it shows you are serious but not arrogant (which dressier clothes can imply) and that you're meant to be there. You've already won the first round by getting to this point. Now you have to give a first impression.
When you give answers don't sound robotic but tone it down. By this, I mean don't have verbal diarreha but say what you are asked in a few sentences. They like to weed out people who talk and can't shut up about themselves.
This should help as beyond that you can't control anything else. They'll ask what they are going to ask. Be sure if asked for your own questions about the program that you ask at least one question intelligently prepared to show them that you don't think you know everything about them. It's a test. If you don't ask they think twice.
It's illegal for anyone to ask about your religious views directly. Employers and colleges sometimes try to weed out religious people or even those of political, racial etc backgrounds by doing it indirectly.
If they ask you "If you could meet with anyone living or dead who would it be?" Be cautious and above all don't say Jesus or "I never thought about that before" as it implies you are either religious or an atheist. I'm serious. Just pick someone alive who does extraordinary work that you know a ton about.

i have a really hugh crush on this boy in the year above me in school and when i say huge i mean im in love with him. he knows i like him because my friend told him lol but hes got a girlfriend and at the moment it looks like this relationship will last quite a while. im not sure weather to just try and fogget about him wich would be hard because i see him in school and my sister is best mates with his sister and alwasy tells me storys about him, or should i just wait and see if they do breake up and then ask him out ? im really stook on what to do please help :( (link)
|
Do yourself a favor as hard as it may be and back off the throttle with this guy. Say nothing more about your crush to anyone. If you don't his girlfriend will resent you and possibly he will as well.
Wait and see what develops but also look and see who may be best suited to you right now as boyfriend material. This way you might find someone better or to be with if his current relationship shows no signs of cracks. This is your only sane option that won't result badly.

whenever i masterbate (im a girl) i can only cum once. after i cum i cant touch myself there anymore and it kinda hurts if i do, like its a very not good feeling after. plus im not even in the mood to masterbate any more after i come, y is this?
why is this?
how do i fix it? (link)
|
The clitoris is the most sensitive part on the human body and full of nerve endings. It becomes ultra sensitive, raw and irritated, red if rigorously manipulated. Once climax occurs it becomes "painful" to even try to touch.
It's all normal. A similar thing happens with the glans of a penis in males after ejaculation. What to do? Wait and do this some other time. Give your genitals a chance to recover as that's why they're irritated and perhaps you're being being too vigorous.
That's the ONLY way to fix something like this that you have no control over and can't really fix. You're fine anatomically and this is just your body reacting saying "I'm done." or "Stop." It's all you can physically take at the time.
Your body and genitals are saying "UGH." That's about all that's happening. Nothing to worry over.

So my boyfriend never pays for me, like when we go out to eat or out to the movies. It's not like he doesnt have the money, im pretty sure he does. Anyway, I dont really care, but my parents are so judgemental, they think that its only appropriate for a guy to at least offer. what do i do? I wouldnt let him pay for everything, of course, but it would make me feel better if he offered. Opinions? (link)
|
The person who initiated the date (and we're not talking an invite) and intended it to be such is responsible for the check at a restaurant and the movie unless of course you go dutch.
What do you do? Tactfully, mention to him that you like his company and going on dates but that you don't have a lot of spending money. Ask, to go dutch or to pick up the tab when he knows funds are low. That's all you can do.
Tell him you don't expect him to pay for everything but only when he knows you can't go otherwise. He's likely not to offer on his own because he would have thought of it before now. According to every rule of etiquette old fashioned or not this is considered proper manners and stands today.
As far as your parents go is it them that have a problem with him over this or you? THINK hard--it's probably them. You should say something to him if you have NO money or not enough at times but I'd let it slide until faced with that exact situation. Don't rock the boat especially with a new boyfriend over this (yet).
Your parents probably are on you over it because they hate being the bank of mom and dad whenever you need cash. In that case it's nothing a part-time job won't fix. But, I wouldn't piss a brand new lover off over something your parents have more concern over than you do right away.
If he isn't offering to help pay in about a month than mention it to him politely that you're sometimes limited in cash and from time to time could you please pick up the tab. More or less unless this is some big problem don't make an issue.
He's likely not offering to pay for you because he doesn't have enough cash in his pocket either to even consider it despite the fact he knows it's right.

Well the title says all. My two hamsters are fighting. Alot. It saddens me to the death to see the marks they put on one another. They have been together for life. At birth,the pet store, and at their new home at my house. Some conclusions came to my mind, but I really want to know some other possibilities from different people. Thanks! (link)
|
It sounds like you have two hamsters that are the same sex. Regardless of them being two males or two females they'll fight. It usually kicks in when they reach maturity. It's the same with cats and dogs and you name it.
They'll fight eventually if the same sex. All you can do is have two separate cages or plastic environments they sell at pet stores. As far as being together from day one don't bet on it. Even if they were it doesn't matter to them or in the animal world even if you're a rodent. You'll have to separate them plain and simple.

My boyfriend wants me to give him head this weekend and ice never done it and I don't have the slightest clue how, so could I get like a step by step instructionish thing on how? (link)
|
Nope. Not at this site. Sexual how-to posts and responses get people banned. We have to protect minors and ourselves. That said, your boyfriend is who you should e talking to about this.
Secondly, if you're NOT with the slightest informed on this activity and how's and why's you shouldn't be attempting it. Talk to your boyfriend about and read more about it and see if it's really what you want to be doing. Don't get into it on a whim or in a situation where you aren't 100% confident and ready.
He may "want" you to do something but that doesn't mean you have to if you don't want to, don't know enough about it or are "without a clue" in general. He's a big boy and he can wait until you know you're ready.
Yes, there's search pages and lord knows what else out there on this topic but even if you happened on them the bottom line is whether you really want to do it or not. Don't cave to pressure either.
He's the expert on his body and what he responds to physically and sexually. Start by asking what he expects and have open dialogue before you try something like this for the first time. It takes things to another level but make sure you want to go there first by being informed and setting rules.

When is it a great time to have sex? (link)
|
When and only when you are mentally and emotionally ready and have thought it out. Also, it's when you are SURE this is the right person and have taken all the precautions to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
While it's best to be an adult nobody can stop you from it but only make you think. 14-years-old is way too young in my opinion to be thinking about it. It's a BIG decision and not one that should be made hastily or allowed to just happen. Planning is being responsible. You can't do any less than that.
It's only a small percentage a physical act but if you don't have body, mind, and spirit involved it's downright meaningless whether it's the first or 9 millionth time. Use your head and you'll be fine. Nothing wrong with waiting.
It's about being fully ready and knowing if you aren't. It's not a race and age has nothing to do with what you really need: maturity and responsibility.

I'm so worried about my boyfriend.
I'm totally inlove with him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I'm so sure it's meant to be.
Not too long ago he stopped taking his anit-depressants and informed me that he doesn't feel he needs them now that he has me, and he does seem so much happier than he was before... but I'm worried about him, like... one shouldn't just STOP taking their meds without consulting a doctor first... right?
What should I do/say???
HELPPP!!!! (link)

My advice stems from personal experience. You're in a tough position but must put his life and health first.
Anyone with a mental health problem that goes off of medication usually winds up in the hospital on a psychiatric hold or in extreme difficulty for going off medication. It's not worth it as it messes your life up for months, years, indefinitely with needless crisis.
Once someone with a mental health disorder starts feeling much better they start thinking that it's X,Y, Z factor and not the meds and they're tempted to toss the pills and live without 'em. It's often a dangerous mistake.
He needs to be told that while you're flattered that you add to his happiness that you nor anything else control what triggers his problem nor can his being with you control it or make it a thing of the past. It's a false sense of happiness and security he's holding on to.
Tell him no matter how well he feels that often it's the medication helping and even if he feels otherwise that going off of it is dangerous for the reasons listed above.
If you know that he has or is going off medication you have to tell his parents. I know he may get angry but you could be saving him from a load of trouble by talking to them about this concern.
You learned as a really young child that in life there's secrets we can keep and there's others we can't and must alert adults about. This is one of those icky situations that needs not to be kept secret.
You'll be doing the right thing here whether you continue dating him or not. That's not what should factor into telling them. He's headed for big time trouble unless you divulge the truth about what he's wanting or is doing here.

19/female. i use to have alot of friends in high school, but now that i'm in college and am doing online i only hang out with one person, my best friend who i've known since 7th grade. i've never had a boyfriend before because everyone i become close with leaves me which is why i have a hard time trusting anyone. my friends will get boyfriends and then invest all their time into them that i'm like whatever ... i try to hang out with them but i just give up because its not worth it. well my best friend, shes never had a boyfriend either so we hang out all the time with no worries. well NOW shes been talking to this guy and they have been hanging out and i feel like she is going to be forgetting about me and always want to be with him. we talked about it before and we both agreed that we hate when our friends leave us for their boyfriends but now that she found someone it feels like shes doing that. shes always telling me about him, which is fine to an EXTENT. i just feel so alone, i dont know what to do anymore or who to turn to.... even if i were to say something to her i know it wouldnt change her mind. (link)

Let's see you're 19-years-old now which would mean you've had a lasting friendship with this person for close to seven or eight years. If she hasn't left you then she's not about to do it now.
No matter who she dates or doesn't she will stick by you if you're a good friend. Obviously, that's true or she would have ditched you many years ago. You may see her a little less but she'll be there.
Things are in the honeymoon stage of the relationship and it's fresh, completely new to her and she's soaking that up. Give it a month and she'll hate his guts--that's how it works and all it is. The only way to screw up here is to act jealous or "why do you spend all your time with him and not me."
Telling her you would like to see them both more often will get her to include you. I'll be blunt people who left you in the past haven't a damn thing to do with what people in the present will do and is an irrational fear based in something that ties to all this which traumatized you.
You have to figure out why you don't trust others, feel like people will desert you, loneliness, neediness etc. What you need to do is see a professional (not a therapist) and figure all that out so you can chuck it forever.
People have pushed you away and or left because they get a vibe from you about these problems and lack of social skills. You have to see a professional to help you reprogram yourself and move forward.
There's no reason in the world whether doing online courses or not for you not to be doing all the things your peers and friend is and to have boys like you too. Find out what theater, sports, and other groups there are in town and go and meet more people. Expand your friend base that way.
This girl's NEVER left she's still your friend and will remain so. Just watch in a few weeks it will all be back to normal she's just preoccupied by how new and exciting having a first boyfriend or potential one is. Typical of all girls. Their friends historically all feel like you are now for a few weeks.
Tell her you miss hanging out with her and to bring her boyfriend by some time. She'll get it. Admit it, there's also this little or perhaps not so little part of you that wishes you were her. It'll happen but for now don't let jealousy of the role he has with her or her with him wreck or cause an issue with her where there isn't one.
The problem's in your head with what you believe others will always do and not with reality. She hasn't left you, isn't leaving you and has shown no signs in the last 7 years of ever doing that. You have to find out where your trust issues stem from and why they're f--king up everything for you now in order to live happier.

My Friend Has A Huge Problem With weight, She Is Fifteen Years Old And A Sophmore in High School Just Like me. I Weight 125 Pounds. I Feel Bad Every Time I Step On The Scale in front of her, Because She Cries After. She Weighs 170 Pounds. Is There Anything I Can Do As A Friend To Help Her Out So She Wont Feel As Bad.
Thanks.

Healthy weight is determined by height and sex. I can't tell you if she's overweight or if she just believes she is without her height. I can then get a Body Mass Index chart up.
If she is overweight she needs to see her doctor about it. This professional will give her a nutrition plan or refer her to a dietitian who can show her how, what, when to eat to lose weight safely.
The thing is you may be a very healthy 125 lbs if you're at the right height or an underweight 125 if you aren't. It's all about height. If 170 is over what her BMI should be than she needs a doctor.
It sounds like she may also need psychological counseling to deal with how she feels about herself and what her weight issues are doing to her mentally. She should not be so torn up. Also, take this as a lesson not to step on a scale in front of her in the future. Be supportive but suggest she talk to a doctor if she wants to change this aspect.

14 female
i get discharge wich im know is normal for a female but i am worried i have to much and might have an infection, but its been like this for a few years, because i get alot of dicharge wich is thick and just like snot to be honest lol an it smells funny? wat could it be (link)
|
See a gynecologist pronto. Discharge is normal but not if it causes a burning sensation, itching, is clumpy or smells bad. They can treat it so you're free of it.
If you've had this occur for over a year than you really should act on it. I don't know why you waited but don't wait any longer. There's no reason to have to deal with it much longer.
|
I slept with the guy a total of three times... two of the three times he couldn't stay hard enough to have sex. He wasn't on any medication and hadn't done drugs or booze. Is this something that ever gets better or should I drop homeboy for good? Should I address it with him? What causes this? He's only 27.
Thanks! (link)
|
It's incredibly shallow for anyone to "drop" anyone else for sexual problems that can be fixed. It says more about you, your character or lack thereof then of him.
That's being blunt. You come off badly here. Maybe he's better off without you... Then again maybe it's your frustration...
For some reason blood just isn't getting trapped in his penis like it should for an erection because the valve that prevents it from flowing back down isn't functioning
He needs to see a urologist to have it checked out. In the meantime try an adult novelty store or condom speciality shop and ask for a penis ring (use the C-word as that's what their terminology) that slips over it and traps blood. That may be a temporary solution.
It also could be fear or psychological but I doubt it. For some reason the blood doesn't get trapped in his penis long enough. The valve isn't shutting it off. A urologist can figure out why this happens and suggest how to fix it invasively and much beyond a novelty penis ring.

where do you guys go to read about current events?
- websites
- magazines
i find Time magazine sometimes hard to digest since you have to know background information beforehand and some news channels apparently are biased? (not sure, for some reason ppl don't like Fox news or something?)
in school sometimes the teachers passed out like "kids" versions of Time magazine or something that people can subscribe to that was very informative and explained it more in terms that younger people can understand.. if anyone knows what i'm talking about lol (link)
|
Newspapers are best or the Web sites for daily papers. The BBC Web site is essential for world news. CNN.COM is written so anyone can grasp it easily.
Magazines and other sites tend to gossip and sensationalize and they are not "hard news" or a good source of the kind of news outlet your teacher wants you to use. Your local TV station ie: CBS, NBC, ABC 6 p.m/11 p.m. broadcast and the 6:30 p.m. World News on all three networks is in a way any viewer can grasp it as is Anderson 360.
FOX NEWS is run by republicans and slanted towards their views and some of those viewpoints are very outlandish or based on Christian fundamentalist or Born Again, Evangelical views. Fox NEWS is where you'll find Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Rielly et all.
CNN is more of a broad view but very liberal and aimed at people who likely voted for democrats like Barack Obama. Everything they present has a liberal or democratic bent to it.
Try reading The New York Times, Washington Post etc. online and watching regular newscasts that's how you'll be able to understand TIME.

I recently got a baby bunny but don't know what kind of breed it is.
He is grey, very very fluffy and has straight pointed ears. His cheeks are also very fluffy as well as around his ears. He has a little black nose too.

i want to do a photoshoot...does anyone know around how much it costs and where/who i could talk to to do one? any advice is appreciated! thanks. (link)

You can find a professional photographer in the phone book who can show you their portfolio, talk to you about ideas and give you an estimate of what it will cost.
My advice is NOT to tell them its for acting or modeling portfolios because they'll drive the cost up and do unneeded shots and additional packages. Always have parents present at shoots and arranging things for safety and not getting taken to the cleaners.
If you feel pressured to decide find someone else. The phone book has tons of listings for photographers and portrait photographers as well. Visit them, see their work and arrange things.
