about

My name is Elly and I am 18 years old. I live in Michigan and I graduated High School in '07. I'm currently attending a great college, but I'm home for the summer. It's too nice outside to sit on the computer all day, so I might not be as active on here as I would like.

I guess a good way to describe me is experienced. I've discovered a lot about life and I can't wait to discover more... while having fun at the same time of course! ...BUT, like everyone, I have experienced things in life that I rather wish I hadn't. And I also feel that those bad experiences qualify me to help others with this column.

I have been in a serious relationship for over two and a half years now. I personally know that love is a difficult thing to nurture. It takes a lot of work. Life is NOT a fairytale where two people can simply love each other and everything will just fall into place. It doesn't work like that in the real world.

People on Advicenators are starting to disappoint me. Everyone says "ooh I want to help! I've experienced EVERYTHING!" Yet, I can't tell you how many questions I see with answers like "you could have googled that" or "we're not going to do your homework" or "I'm so sick of 'wow does he like me?!' questions." I used to sort of be like that, but now I realize how hypocritical that is. If I know the answer to a question, I will answer to the best of my ability without making you feel stupid for asking it in the first place. Advicenators is going to turn into a pretty nasty place if people just keep brushing off questions like that.

Rate or don't rate. I really don't care. But don't give me a 1 just because I tell you something you don't want to hear. Go to your mom for advice if you want sugarcoated answers.

I can give excellent advice on:
relationships/sex
friendship
family issues
anything about animals (i worked at a vet for several years)
college

okay so on wendsday me and some friends were supposed to go to a trip. and the teacher gave us a slip and all of my teachers signed it and they think that i am going to this trip but then my other teacher told me and my friends that its full and we cant go. so all of my other teachers think that i am going to the trip so i wont be marked absent. but me and my friends were thinking about going to eachothers houses or the mall or something nothing is going to happen to me. but i feel bad im not your typical cutter. i really dont want to go to school though i dont know what to do. help me. what would you do?? i feel guilty coming back from school and my parents asking me how school went. but i really wanna go and take some risks after all you only live once!.

I wouldn't risk it and here's why: all your teachers know each other on some level. If word ever got around that you lied to your teachers and said you'd be at a field trip, you and your friends would be in HUGE trouble!

Trust me, it's not worth the risk.
