I have to go over to my grandpas, and i dont want to....any idea on how to get out of it?
This isn't what you're going to want to hear but it's true. You should go and see your grandpa. Hug him, tell him what's up, just have respect for him. You never know how much longer he'll live so you should cherish this time. After you greet him, find something to do. Bring a bag with a book, magazine, small game, sketch pad, etc. That way you will have seen your grandpa and have something to do. If it gets late and you want to leave, tell him that. Say "Well, I need to go now." You can add that you need to do chores, feed a neighbor's pet, go see a friend, etc. It is the nicest way to solve your problem. We all have things we don't want to do but at least you'll feel better once you leave. You'll know that you saw him and was nice to him even if he's boring. =)

Hey everyone,
My sister n law is having a baby, and she just found out today that she's going to be having another boy! I was wondering if anyone could help me out, and suggest any boy names pretty much that you can think of. I already suggested about 45 names to my brother, and he hasn't liked any of them! He's the most picky person I know! I know alot of the common ones people use these days, so if you can try not to suggest some of those. Thank you so much in advance! I really appreciate it! I'll rate you a 5 if you try, cuz I'm a really nice person. :-)
There are some really unique names on http://www.babynames.com. You should look through them and suggest some to your brother. If he doesn't like them, have him and your sister-in-law look through the site. It even gives meanings. =)

umm well my grandma is so annoying! she wont leave me alone! she follows me everywhere and says bad stuff about my sister and others. i hate her so much. shes visiting until tuesday(from N.C.) how do i get away from her!!!
thanx a bunch!
If you want to try and solve the problem, talk to her. Tell her you don't like it when she says bad stuff about people. Politely suggest she do something instead of follow you. Tell her she can watch tv, go for a walk, read a book, etc.
If you want to just avoid the problem, try to get yourself busy. Go to the library and get some books that look interesting. Shut yourself in your room and read. You could call a friend and ask to go to their house. You can't avoid her the whole time though, so I think you should tell her how you're feeling. If she doesn't listen, ask one of your family members to discuss it with her. Just try to relax and be as nice about it as you can. Remember, she's not going to be there forever.

I just revealed our family seceret to the biggest blabber mouth in town. I told her that we thouhght [this other family] hated us and I told her why. See, the mother in this family had once refused to take me in her car at the bus stop when it was below zero degrees out. My dad is always talking about how low it is that she did that. I told this blabber mouth woman how we feel about it and now she might tell the lady!!! My parents are all like "I don't want to talk about it" What should I do? I already apologized a million times!!! I might have ruined my families reputation!
What that mother did was very rude and inconsiderate. You and your family have every right to feel the way you do. If people find out about this, I think they'd take your side anyway. Soon your family and you will realize it's not such a big deal. If your parents really don't want to talk about it, don't bug them. It will only make them more angry. If this family gets upset at you, stand your ground. Explain to them that anyone would feel hated if they were left out in the freezing cold. Try not to start a fight with them. You want this thing to blow over so explain yourself. If they are caring enough this family should forgive you. However, the family may still be outraged at your thinking. If they are, it's best to stay away. They would obviously not be very good, respectful people. Your family's reputation will not be ruined. =)

ok-----I have a stepsister named Danielle. She's 16. She has a boyfriend named DeShaun.---He's 14. (I'm 13.)I don't think they deserve each other because they are always on the phone fighting about something. Secretly, Danielle sucked her ex-boyfriend's dick behind DeShaun's back. He dosn't know. No one knows----but me. They are so dysfunctional and they distrust each other so much. To the point that it irratates anyone around them. It's confusing----some nights they could be on the phone making nasty sounds and the next they are screaming at each other. Danielle has had soooooooooo many boyfriends since she was like 11-----but shes had DeShaun for one and a half years. Now..... Danielle is sort of a slutty gold digger, (if you ask me), and DeShaun just happens to be rich. Well, alot richer than me and Danielle (i dont know your perspective of "rich")Even though I think Danielle is a slutty hoe-bag, (she took my 15 year old summer "boyfriend" Laron(i hung out with him every day in the summer----and she knew we liked each other!!!!) away from me for like a week and got his phone number, (that bitch!!!!)but i feel bad for DeShaun because Danielle constantly cheats on him------and DeShaun's not very smart so he has no idea. What should I do???
Tell DeShaun what's going on. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that behind his back. Suggest to DeShaun and Danielle a break up. The fighting, the distrust, the cheating, it's just not right. Let them know you think it's right. You can't make them break up but you can surely recommend it as the best thing. =)

I have no idea what to get my Dad for christmas. I'm a female and i'm 15. So my first question is does neone know any awesome tennis stuff that's like 20$ that I could get him? Or i was also thinking about making a picture frame for this picture i have of him, my brother and I. So Does neone know how to make an awesome picture frame that doesn't include to much construction paper and popsicle sticks? thanks!! Sorry for the lengthy..ness!
For the tennis stuff:
-sports bag
-tennis racket cover
-a pack of tennis balls
-a new racket
for the frame, it's really the thought that counts. you could use popsicle sticks as the base. buy candy such as jellybeans and put it around the edge. you could also add foam shapes, macaroni, ribbon, or seashells that you can get cheap at a craft store. make it creative and unique and im sure he'll love it! =)

Well, about four years ago, my father divorced my mother. It took a little over three years for the divorce to go through. During that time, my father treated me like crap. He was constantly yelling at me, picking on me, and just making me completely miserable. On time, he told his family that I should go to fat camp, and they all laughed at me. He's called me "fat, ugly, stupid, and a piece of sh**." I tried running away, but he caught me, and dragged me back. He also dropped me off on the side of a highway in the middle of winter, and drove off. He lead me to become so depressed, I would hurt myself.
Their divorce was finaliazed, but we had to move our of our house and move in with my grandma. I still visit him on Fridays and Sundays. He's been making us look at houses for him, which makes me really upset. He won't support us at all because he claims he has no money, but he owns his own business, and I've done some detective work, and found out how much he makes. I hate going with him because all we do is look at houses, and it bothers me because we had to move out of our house. My 16th birthday was in September and not one person from his side of the family realized how old I was. My father didn't even have a cake for me. This was one of the most important birthdays for a girl, and he totally ignored it. He just left yesterday to go with his girlfriend to Florida, and didn't even invite us, and also waited until the night before to tell us he was going. He doesn't plan on seeing us when he moves to Florida in a couple of years. Should I just stop goign with him? I'm 16-years-old, and I would rather spend my Friday nights with my friends. I want to have a father, but not one that makes me feel so crappy. What should I do? Should I continue to visit him for the sake of having a father, or should I just forget about him? Thank you so much for helping!
Omg that almost made me cry. That is completley unacceptable for a father to do that to his own child! You should tell your mom what's been going on, and you really need to tell her you've been hurting yourself. You don't need to hurt yourself hun it's not your fault. You shouldn't try to keep in touch with your father or his side of the family as long as they are treating you this poorly. They will only make fun of you and treat you like you're nothing. Everyone wants, NEEDS, to have a father. I have no choice because my father died when I was three, but I've been living without one. It must hurt you a lot to know your father doesn't treat you well, but you'll always have your mother and her side of the family to support you and be there for you. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, you can consult with your friends too. You don't have to be alone in this. I can't put in words how sorry I am for you, but I hope you can make it through. If you need anything more, I'm here for you.

my mom and dad are realllly religous and they want me to be religous and i dont want to be! i need to be my self and belive what i want. i mean i talk to jesus and pray to him but i cant be saying PRAISE GOD! every SECOND!!! help i dont know what to say to them!!
you should have a talk with your parents. let them know you're okay with being religious, but you don't like showing it so much. it's your own life, so really you can be as religious as you want. compromise with your parents. maybe if you do something religious for them, they can respect you for doing that and not make you do more than you want to. they are your parents, they love you, and should respect your decision.
