what are possible reasons for me to be in constant fear! not worry just pure fear! like i am scared! my body is reacting to it yet i can't seem to figure out why!!

If you are really scared all the time, this isn't something you should be taking advice on from us. You need to talk to a professional. That could possibly be a very dangerous mental illness. I would suggest seeing a psychatrist immediately. You may be able to get some medication...

Good Luck

I'm going to Freakers Ball with a friend of mine and he and I are going to dress in matching theme costumes. Problem is, we don't have any good original ideas. We want to stand out and have unique costumes.

Any ideas?

wellll whenever i masturbate and start getting close to orgasming my head starts to hurt! this only just recently started happening! or when im making out with my boyfriend and i start getting more aroused and breathing heavy my head starts hurting! and sometimes i even feel a little dizzy. does anyone know why this could be happening and what i should do?? thank you!

Don't hold me to this, but all I can come up with is that you are running out of oxygen. Try making sure your taking even breaths and breathing, don't hold your breath.

That's just my best guess.

Ok so I have started to like this guy and we have been friends for a long time. We just realized that we have feelings for eachother and surprisingly its really not that awkward. The only thing that i am hesitant about is that hes not like a manly man and he doesnt ahve alot of guy friends. It kind of bothers me because I want him to be a man's man..thats what im attracted to. What shouldi do about this? should i tell him and whats your opinion?

Well, see telling him that you want him to be a "manly-man" would be wrong, because then your trying to make him change who he is for you. You should like people for who they are. If you don't like him not being a manly man, then don't go out with him, but i must say if that's the decision you make, you are going to be acting very very shallow. If you like him, then there has got to be something there that you like. You either decide to deal with the fact that he's not a manly man, or not.

Also, if you've ever noticed, the "manly" guys usually end up being jerks... They aren't really nice guys most of the time. The guys like him are the ones that are the best boyfriends. I'm telling you, he's gonna treat you right 10 times more often than a jock or "manly-man"

Hope that helps you, but in the end the decision is yours.

i got a new dell laptop at the end of may as a graduation present. i love it, but the battery already sucks. i can only squeeze out about 2 hours out of it before having to plug it in again. i leave it on almost all the time, but at night with the lid closed (and plugged into the charger). what can i do to make it last longer?

Well, by now, with the way you've been treating it, you've probably burned out the battery. You will need to buy a new one if you don't want to deal with 2 hour battery life spans. Here's what to do to not hurt your battery any further, or stop deterioration if you get a new one.

1. Don't leave it plugged in longer than it needs for a full charge. This burns away battery life. Just charge it when it's almost dead and charge it until it's full.

2. Don't charge your battery half-way and then take it off. When you charge make sure to get a full charge.

3. Don't charge your battery until almost empty. Don't start a charge when your batter is half full.

4. DON'T LEAVE THE COMPUTER ON ALL THE TIME. When you aren't using it, turn it off. This is VITAL.

Hope this helped you.
Good luck.

So me and this Amazing guy made out,but i dont know how to actually make him go crazy during our next make out...........

Here are some of the most important things to remember when trying to have a GREAT kiss.

1. Don't go too far too fast.
Start off slow, don't start sucking face in two seconds. It makes it much more fun, for both of you. Start off slowly and just take it from there.

2. Use your hands.
Grab the back of his head with your hand. It works, trust me.

3. Keep your eyes closed.
Nothing is creepier than someone staring at you from half an inch away.

4. Don't go too crazy with your tounge.
If you are going to use tounge, wait for a bit, then use it slowly, don't ram your tounge down someone's throat. Just use it as an addon, the lips are the most important part. Some people think that the tounge is the most important part of kissing. It's not.


Hope that helps.

heyy, i know this is long but please answer if you can. im so lost any suggestion would be amazing.

the first boy ive ever loved, kissed, gone out with, all of that is still in my head. we started daitng 3 years ago (wer both 14 now) and hes been in my head ever sense. i know he feels the same way and its scary because no matter how many times we break up we aways go back to eachother. it feels like we were destined to be together. and ithink we might be eventually. but...



whenever we have a relationship it gets so serous that im scared to even talk to him. if i do, we flirt nonstop, make all of these plans, and im scared where ittle leade. ive never been able to really get over him, i get butterflys just looking at him and i know he feels the same way. but i dont want to lose a high school experience by being with him, it hurts to talk to him because i feel it getting more serous and stronger by the minuite, but it hurts not to becayse i miss him so much. and i see him in shcool everyday and he just makes me laugh and hes never broken up with me i always break up with him because i feel myself getting too attached and i get scared and run away. i think i might really love him even though i know its not likely at this age. i know i love the way he makes me feel but icant let myself accept it. and he says he dosent want a relationship now but i know i could talk him into it but im not sure whats best. do you think theres a way i could really get over him? not talking to him isnt really an option, it would just be really awkward. hes in my classes so i have to see him everyday. i know i could try to get over him, but im not sure how to get over him for good. the second he looks at me or texts me all is lost and i fall for him again. please help


thanks SO much!

Well, the first thing I would have to say is that if you started dating him when you were 11, that would be the start of your problem. You are too young at that age, and dating so young can make it easy to feel things that aren't really real. You probably feel so attached to him because he was your first boy friend and you weren't mature enough at that age to handle it. Actually, in my opinion, at 14, you still aren't old enough to have a boyfriend. It's just tough because you need more life experience before you are mature enough to handle it.

Chance's are you're NOT destined to be together. I was 14 when I fell in love (Now I realize I was too young to be dating then) ... I thought that she was the one I was going to marry. I just had this really strong feeling like we were supposed to be together, but we broke up... and I still thought we would get back together, because, we were meant to be. We never got back together, and it took me about a year and a half to realize, she wasn't the one for me.

Now, you're saying that you're relationships get too serious. At 14 that is bad, almost unacceptable. At that age you need to not be getting into serious things. Relationships are something that can be great, but you have to be mature enough to handle them. At that age you aren't. Most 14 year olds date because:

A. Thier friends are dating.
B. They feel immature if they DON'T

The thing is. Your not ready to date yet, and realizing that and deciding to not get yourself into situations our not ready to handle is MORE MATURE.


You yourself said that it's getting too serious for you, so just tell him.

Say this. "I'm not ready for something this serious, I'm only 14. I like you but, right now, I just can't deal with this. I'm afraid to start anything too big right now and I just need to stop this for now."

Just tell him how you're feeling...

And about getting over him.
It takes time. For me it took a year and a half, but if you don't get back with him within that time, then you'll move on. Getting over someone doesn't take a day, it takes a long time.

is there an easy game making software thats free?
i want to start making games for newgrounds and other game sites Ive got plans for games that i think will be good but i cant find any good, easy software that has help and online tutorial videos
does anyone know what i could use?
i have a linux computer so preferably compatible with linux thanks alot

Games that are put on Newgrounds, or any other site like that, are made using Flash. That is why they are called FLASH games. Any game you want to be able to embed into a website must be made using flash I believe. And it is a pricey program. sorry.

I'm a senior in high school. I like to use long sentences in my writing with many commas, and I and also a big fan of the semi colon. I don't write long sentences for the sake of it, it's just something that comes naturally. However, I was told by a friend that your writing should be written as if it were being read out loud, so long sentences would not be practical and they actually hurt the writing.


Is this true?

You friend is right. I have the same exact problem. This is called run-on sentences. It's a tough problem to fix when it comes naturally to you. What I have to do is just write it how it comes to me, then afterward read over everything and find sentences that can be broken into two, or even three, separate sentences. Good luck.

Hi,
Im a guy, 15 and about 3 months ago I bought my own acoustic guitar. The brand is Washburn and the modle is Oscar Schmidt I think. Anyway, I've been going on to youtube and teaching myself songs. I don't know very much about music, so I don't know what songs are out there, but the ones I did find I've learned and perfected. So far I've learned "Follow you into the dark" by Death Cab., "Hey there delilah" by plain white t's, "Good Riddance" By green day, and a few other songs. These are the kind of songs I'm looking for, the softer acoustic guitar songs, u know like one with a good mellody. I'm ready to learn more, I just don't know where to look. Does anyone have any ideas on what songs I should learn next?

This is the same type of music I play on my acoustic. One of my favorite one's to play is "You we're meant for me" By Jewel. It's a soft, nice song, but semi-challenging to learn.

Also, instead of just using youtube, I suggest you use www.ultimate-guitar.com to find the notes to songs also. It is very helpful to me.

I'm thinking of trying to get into Oxford or Cambridge University and I'm confused about which course to take.

I could take Law, but I don't know if this is interesting. I know I'd probably be good at it and I like the thought of being a barrister, and I know its highly paid. I only need three good As and I know I can get more at my A levels than that, in any subjects.


But then there's medical science. I need chemistry as a priority grade and or biology maths or physics. I take biology and maths as I enjoy them. I hate chemistry. It holds little joy for me, and whereas I find I can do well at the others with little effort and very will with lots of effort, I have to try extra hard to even immerse myself in Chemistry although I always get a good grade anyway. I don't know how confident I would be at being a doctor and I don't want to get stuck at some healthy surgery. At the same time, I get squeamish when dissecting things in class although I'm fine with just looking. At the same time I have a great interest in medical science.


I just don't know what to do!

Which do you think??

Please answer. I don't need anyone who knows much about either, just an opinion :)

Thanks...
vexed.

Well, from what you are saying about dissections and queasiness, being a doctor might not be for you. Unless you become a surgeon you won't have to really do too much of that, but you will still be examining some pretty insane wounds I'd imagine. Also chemistry is extremely extremely important for your M.D. not saying you can't do it, but if you don't enjoy it, you will have a tough time. I would say, just from my opinion, stick with law. To me, it seems lie more fun, and, while not less of a challenge, has higher pay at lower levels.


Good luck.

is anyone here schizophrenic? it was one of my vocab words and the definition is "a state characterized by the coexistence of contradictory or incompatible elements." what do they mean by different elements? like you're living in two different worlds? i once saw a movie associated with someone who is schizophrenic, but what is life like?

Mentally, if you have schizophrenia, it's like you are here, but there is a second part of you that is in some imaginary dream land made up by your brain. You are unable to respond to most things going on in the real world, because you don't realize that it's even there. Imagine living in your own alternate reality, all alone, but everyone is watching you live it, they just aren't part of it.

Asking if anyone on here is schizophrenic is an easy question to answer because any one with this disease would be unable to use a computer at all, let alone even be able to realize they were schizophrenic.

Ok, so my boyfriend has an AT&T phone and mine is Verizon. Sometimes it takes twenty minutes to an hour to get his texts. Whats going on? Is there any way we can fix this? Besides him switching to another service? (He doesnt get that choice he's still on his parents plan)

Thanks so much for the help!
Its just really agrivating expecially when we are talking about something important.

He needs to turn his phone off for 20 minutes, then turn it back on. This should reset his connection to the Verizon server. If this doesn't work, have him call Verizon and ask them to manually reset his connection. This should fix the problem.

alright soo i was on my other computer today (not this one) andd i was trying to download aim+, but i think when i went to the website, it was a fake aim+ website that made me download a virus! because all of a sudden these weird things started popping up and it said "virus detected" blah blah blah and when i pressd cntrl+alt+delete it said "Task Manager Disabled By Administrator" which i definately did not disable it! anyyways now theres this weird "MSvista security center" thinggy on my computer and it keeps telling me i have viruses and that i must buy a pakage to delete virus threats? and i keep trying to get on my internet and what not and it wont let me.. idk what to do can anybody help me?

You most definitely have a virus.:/ I would first try preforming a system restore. If you don't know how to do that I can explain, but that is a whole new question. So send me an inbox message if you need to. If that doesn't work you could be in some serious trouble. You may have to re-install windows, which would delete all your files.

So, I'm a huge fan of Supernatural and I bought the DVD boxset of series three in HMV yesterday. I also bought an iPod online, to treat myself for my birthday and good GCSEs.

It's an 80 GB iPod Classic. I know you can put videos on it, like from the itunes site -

but how would I go about getting the supernatural DVD episode I want on there? How would I do it?


Please help if you know anything or have ever put tv shows or films from DVDs onto your iPod Classic.


Thanks!
Faye.

I've never heard of videora, but the only way I know of to convert DVD to ipod is through programs. You can download them off the internet, but they always cost money. Just type in DVD to iPod converter into google.

I recently purchased the Sims 2 Pets computer game. I thought about getting Sims 2 Apartment Life or even the Sims Life Stories but I really like pets so I went with the Sims 2 Pets. I've never had a Sims game so I thought it would be neat to try out. Anyway, I went through the installation process and it popped up with an error message, I suppose. It says, basically, that I need to purchase the Sims 2 game.

That doesn't make sense to me. I paid for my Sims 2 Pets game so why does it keep popping up that I need to purchase the Sims 2 game? Am I trying to install the Sims 2 Pets wrong? Did the cashier need to scan the Sims 2 Pets game CD better?

What in the world am I doing wrong?

The Sims 2 pets is an expansion pack. To use it you must have the original version of the game. The Sims 2. The Sims 2 Pets does not contain the files needed to run the game. It only is the files to add Pets to your Sims 2 game. unfortunatly you are going to have to purchase the Sims 2 also before you can ply your game. if you want to get it cheaper, I would suggest buying it off of e-bay. You could even borrow it from a friend and install it, because once you install it, you can install Sims 2 Pets and just run the game off the Pets CD.

You don't really have to buy the game. Just find some way to get it installed on your computer.

Hope this helps!

I have to write an essay about what I didn't do over summer vacation. It's like the usual 'What I did over summer vacation' essay but my teacher wants us to lie to her and write about something that DIDN'T happen, but would be extremely unordinary/exciting. But the problem is, I can't think of a single thing to write about. Any ideas?

Well, try this. What is something that you wished you would have done over the summer? Think big. ANYTHING in the world. Maybe you wanted to fly to Tokyo and go to Disneyland Tokyo. Maybe you wanted to meet your favorite celebrity. Maybe you wanted to fall in to a vat of nuclear waste and get superpowers. This kind of assignment is a creative fiction assignment. Meaning THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. So reach for it. Go all out.

I saw this answer you gave one girl, and i really liked it so i figured you are a smart guy and i was hoping you can help me with this one annoying problem, thanks a whole load in advance.

My ex boyfriend, we were best friends for a year and then we told eachother we liked eachother. he was in love though, and i fell in love with him later on while we dated. we dated for 1 year and a half. We broke up on a bitter fight we had online and for 7 months we didnt speak to eachother. were both extremly stubborn for our own good and hes always the one to apologize which i admit but he is also alwyas the one who screws up. After the 9th month he got with the slut of the country. shes known to have dated the whole country ( sarcastic but no lie she has a crazy amount of ex's) he said he was with her to have sex and what not. i was so angry by that because when he was with me everyone loved him. and now that he isnt with me he changed became an alchoholic and everyone hates his cocky attitude. he looks horrible now and hes always constantly crying to my brother saying he wants to change and become a better guy. He cheated on his girlfriend said he was really drunk even though he remmebers how and what happened that day when he had sex with someone else. He says he only uses her for sex (he used the terms "sex buddies") but than im guessing he knows me and my brother are close he also told him "but i care for her" even though he had just said he didnt care what she did and he knew that she was probably cheating on him. And when he used to talk to me about her when we started talking he bragged about her to me, saying he missed her and wanted to call her when to other people hed say things like " she calls so much shes so annoying"
Now she says shes in love with him. And he hasnt broken up with her even though they doint look so happy together. I dont know honestly if he cares for her or not but its been 12 months now and i cant seem to forget him because we had the most amazing relationship ever not exagerating people envied us and wanted to break us up so many times but we always stuck it through. Seems like we were the ones who ended up making ourselves fall.
You being a guy i figured youd have some answers on any of this, because im confused, angry, and i think i should move on completely. and even though i have tried, i really have. all i remember is holding his hand and i'm in love again. =/

Sorry this was long.
Thankyou so much in advance.

I hope you the best in life :]

Alright here's the thing. People change. It happens SOOO often. I've had so many friends that I don't talk to anymore because they are completely different people now. He may have been a great guy back then, but that's not who he is now. Everything you're telling me about him disgusts me. And just from the way you wrote that message I can tell you know you can't be with him again.

So, now here's the problem. You're still in love with him, and you can't figure out why, considering he's such a disgusting person now.

Here's your answer. You're in love with who he used to be. He used to be a great man to you from what I'm getting... but that's not who he is anymore. It's hard to accept and it hurts a lot, but it's the truth.

Just remember this: Love DOES pass. I've been in love, like, real love, and when it ended I was hurt, for a long time... But you DO eventually get over it. It will hurt and you may think it will never go away, I know I did... but it does go away and you feel better.

I know how just the smallest memory of them can bring back ALL the good times and flood you with love again, but it's like that person has died, as terrible as that sounds.

There are plenty of guys out there, and though you may or may not believe me. You will fall in love with one of them and it will be ten times greater than this love. Because obviously, you weren't meant to be with him, or you would be, and he would still be the guy he was.When you find the guy you ARE meant to be with, everything will change. It will be a completely new kind of love.

So take comfort in the fact that someone better will someday come along. Until then, date other people, have fun, try not to think about him. You'll get over it.

Oh! This helped me A LOT! The number one advice I can give you...
When you think about him and all the great things that happened, catch yourself, and remind your self of how terrible he is now. I know this sounds kind of twisted, but the fastest way to get over love is through anger...

Good luck.

Hope things get better for you, I'm sure they will.

So two years ago I met this guy who I really liked, and he liked me too. We became really good friends but something happened and we drifted apart. At the beginning of this year we started talking again. He told me he liked me, and I told him I liked him. But he has a girlfriend. (at the time I had a boyfriend but he dumped me after a few weeks) So the guys not any random to me, hes also like, my best friend now. But I didnt know what to do. I didnt want to wait for him because that wasnt fair on me. But I didnt want to make him choose "her or me" because that wasnt fair on him. I also didnt want to get with somebody else because Id always be thinking of THAT GUY and that wouldnt be fair on the person Id be with. So I was extremely confused. We had a few arguments over the subject and the boy would get annoyed when I mentioned other guys, but nothing ever really changed.

I went on holiday for a week and the guy rung me and text me. He told me how it was gonna be nice when Id get back. Then on the last night of holiday I was talking to this older man about him. He told me how no guys worth it, how if this boy really did like me as much as he should he wouldnt be with his girlfriend. It doesnt matter how many problems he has I should make him choose her or me. He also said 'What do you think of yourself?" like, implying that I must have a low opinion of myself to wait around for him, when Im worth so much more than that.

I thought about everything the guy said and the next day when I got back, ye, I suppose I was acting a little differently. And then all the guy was speaking about was his girlfriend. NON STOP. It hurt me, so I decided that we should stop talking all together, that I would erase him from my life. So I deleted every bit of contact I had with him last night. He was a bit upset about it the night before, but last night he didnt seem to give a toss.

It really hurts me because Ive wasted so much time on him, Ive given him the best of me. Ive never told him this, but I love him. I seriously do. Im not one of them girls who say I LOVE YOU to every guy Im in a relationship with, the word actually has meaning to me. Now Ive lost him and Im lost. Its okay for him, hes got his stupid girlfriend to go back to. He told me how he needed me and he didnt know what he'd do without me. Well hes lost me now and last night he acted happy about it, is that how he really feels? All I want to do is cry. Ive lost this guy who meant so much to me. I don't know if I've done the right thing here, I dont want to feel this way anymore, its so heartbreaking, disturbing, confusing, depressing... etc. I want to be happy and I done this to be happy but at the moment Im the total opposite. It just seems like its impossible to be happy without him.

Im only 15 years old so Ive got the rest of my life to find someone else, but Ive never met anyone like him... I dont know what to do. I dont know if Ive made the right choice... was it really for the best?

(Sorry for going on a bit)

First off i would like to say that you seem like a very mature and nice girl for being 15, its a breath of fresh air. Anyway, The guy that gave you that advice gave terrible advice in my opinion. Just because he has a girlfriend doesn't mean he doesn't think the WORLD of you. He probably doesn't know exactly how you feel. If you told him straight up what your feel and how much you want him, things might be different. He probably knows you like him, but doesn't see it as a big deal. He's not going to break up with a girl he likes and is already with to go chase someone else that he's not sure will work out. Once he knows that you like him a lot he might change his mind... if it doesn't work out, you will get over it. I've been in love, real love, and when it doesn't work, it hurts... for a long time. I did get over it eventually. I still love her, but it doesn't hurt at all anymore, I date other people and I'm totally fine, and you will be too if it doesn't work out.

Good luck.
