Yesterday I ran away.
I've been ditching alot and I have plans in life with my friends and they are like everything to me.
I hate school.
I hated being home so much I asked my friend if I could stay at her house and my mom hates her. she said no because she didnt want the cops coming to her house.
She took me home and I stayed there for an hour and I cried and I stopped a realized I didn't want to be there
I live in las vegas so I pretty much walked 20 miles to my friends house and I stayed there.
I felt bad but I had nowhere to go and I just needed to be away for the weekend.
Well my mom found her number and called her and threatened to get the police on her.Well instead she told her to come pick me up at 530 and she did because I didn't want to do that to my friend.
I'm still so very miserable here.
What should I do? I'm just so confused I need someone to talk to
anyone (link)

You may feel like you have HUGE problems and a HORRIBLE life, but you probably got it pretty good. Unless your teachers and family are physically abusive, you can deal with it.
I want you to think about people that don't have a home to go to, and they walk 20 miles everyday and never have anywhere to go.
You could have a home where your electricity has been turned off (I am assuming that you have electricity because you are able to post this using a computer.)
I assume that you never miss a meal, and that your house is heated and air conditioned.
If there are things that make you disagree with your mother, talk to her.
Now I know that your first impulse will be to give me a 1, but just think about this for a while before you jump and get angry.
Good luck,
GBL xxxxx

well, i cant sing. I sound really stupid when i do. probabaly because my voice is stupid. Im 14 and like nearly 6ft and my voice is really quiet and crappy. Any tips because i really want to sing. Like barry manilow, or other great singers. (link)
|
I am gessing that you are a boy if you are 6ft and want to sing like Barry Mantilo. Not all singers have "an amazing voice" some really good musicians have very strange voices that are plesant to listen to. Joanna Newsom is an amazing musician and she has a creakity old lady voice. Frank Zappa is a GOD in the music world and he doesn't have the typical voice. Just don't try yelling because that isn't music.
Happy Hunting!

should I join my talent show this year ? i really need advice RIGHT NOW!!!! (link)
|
If you want to be in the talent show, do it. But do something thats actually talent. My grandbaby has one every year at her school and these children consider lip synching to a Hillary Duff song talent. Hillary doesn't even have talent. Do something interesting, original and fun.
GOOD LUCK AND BREAK A LEG!

I am almost positive that one of my professors is changing our answers on tests so that we get better grades. Let me start from the beginning....
After the class took the midterm exam, I was looking over my answers and I noticed that some of the writing was kind of funny. I thought, geez I must have been really tired when I took this test, and I let it go. Then, some of the other people in the class started whispering about it. Apparently someone had changed some of our answers to the correct answers before the tests had been graded! We all assumed that a student aid or graduate student had done it.
What's the problem then you might ask. I got a better grade so I shouldn't complain, right? Well, I try my best to be a good person and the fact that that had happened made me feel sooo guilty. It stressed me out to no end. I don't need to get a great grade in the class. With the corrections my score had been boosed from about a 70 to a 90. I didn't need the extra points. All I have to do is pass the course.
I didn't want to be the tattle tale and ruin everyone's day by possibly making the entire class take the midterm over again, but I couldn't deal with the dishonesty I was feeling. Later in that day I went to talk to the professor about what had happened. I liked her and I thought that telling her was the right thing to do. She seemed very understanding and told me to just keep working hard and that she would take care of it. I felt so good after I did it and knew that it had been the right choice. Well, nothing was done about it and I began to wonder.
We took another test and when I was handed my test back I got a "Great job!". When I noticed that the same thing had happened I almost cried. Nobody else in the class seems to mind, but it is tearing me apart. Now everyone is almost positive that it is the professor that is doing it. It's almost the end of the semester and I worry now that we'll all have to take the whole course over again. I can't afford to do that! I have just enough time to fit all the classes in that I need to graduate.
I think I know the reason why she does it (if she does). She isn't allowed to make her own tests or assignments for us. It has to be the same for everyone that is taking the class. The head of her department makes everything and she is often confused on what to teach us and what to tell us to study. I think that this is terrible and that a professor should be able to teach the way they want. Boosting our grades like she does (or allowing it to happen) is her way of giving us a curve.
It makes sense and it seems like a good thing, but if it's supposed to be the same for everyone taking the class, then my class is getting a very unfair advantage! Yeah, there needs to be some change, but it should be done in an honest way! There are so many better ways to have handled that. I believe that the professor is retiring after this semester so I don't think it would affect much in her life if she was found out.
Should I tell? I think I probably will anyway. I don't want to have to live with this for the rest of my life. If I do, who should I go through? The head of the department or someone higher in the college? She doesn't let us keep the tests and I have a feeling that if she were being investigaed for this that they would mysteriously go missing. With no proof, can anything really be done?
I give a lot of advice, but now I need some myself. I have no idea how I would answer this question if it were asked by someone else. Am I doing the right thing? I doubt anyone has gone through something similar to this and can offer an experience based answer. I shouldn't have to deal with this, I'm a student! I should be the one that's cheating if anybody! HELP!!

Wow!
That is some crazy stuff. If I hadn't dropped out if school, I would have been thrilled at this opportunity. I was a very bad student. But I thoink that you are very noble for being concerned about it. I think that you should write an anonymous letter to somebody expalining your concerns. If it doens't work, heck, at least you tried.
I hope this helps. This is a crazy thing.

Three words: SELL YOUR STUFF
Whenever I need a bit of extra cash to pay my rent money, or have my trailer fixed, I just roll around the place and look for stuff people might want. Lampshades, gently used toothbrushes, potted plants, clothes, paper bag puppets. Then, I have a big sale. Once I made $437.41 when I sold all of my boyfriend's things when he was in the hospital.
Good luck, and have fun!

I have two cousins, a boy who is 12 and a girl who is 14. Their parents wont get a divorce but they hate each other and are both alcoholics and smoke, but refuse to get help. When their dad comes home, which he only does about twice a week, he screams at their mom (Who is usually drunk at the time.) and at my cousins. Normally, he throws and breaks things.
This past week I've been having terrible dreams and waking up sweating in the night. I remember parts of them, but in one of them their dad had just walked in and was already screaming at my aunt and my cousins. He began to get very angry and threw things at my aunt, who was crying. Then he went over to my cousins and started yelling at them. He was hitting them and throwing things at them. They were both screaming and crying.
In another dream, he had locked my aunt in a room and left her there. He then got a gun and found my cousins. I remember there was a shooting sound or something, but then I woke up.
The dreams seem so real. I've been at my cousin's house before when my uncle has been drunk and screaming and throwing things so that makes it even more real because I know he can do those things when he's angry and drunk.
I'm scared that he might actually do something that could really hurt them. I don't know what to do. I want the dreams to stop and to know that my cousin's are safe. They wont answer their phone.
Is there some way that I can stop these dreams and/or find out if they are okay or not? (link)
|
Oh my God.
These dreams could be premonititons. I really REALLY advise you to go to your mom/dad/gardian/teacher/grandma/grandpa/whoever can help you with this situation. This is very serious. Dreams happen for a reason. This family needs MAJOR help. I really need you to tell someone NOW.
You are in my prayers

Okay, so last Monday, [of this week], we started swimming in Gym. That Sunday before, I went for my physical at the doctors and found out that I had bursitis in my knees. The bursitis was happening for 2 weeks previously. My knees would get stiff and I would have to twist them to get them back to normal. I felt completely normal before we started swimming. When we came out of the pool, I was clutching my stomach in the locker room and ran to the bathroom and threw up. My PE teacher explained that that had happened to 3 girls in the previous hours and that there was flu going around. The day after, I felt okay-ish but I stayed home anyways. I took some Tylenol. I then developed a cold and had a fever. I would get soooo cold and would have to put on like a hoodie and some pants and a robe. Basically, I have the chills. That has been happening ever since Tuesday/Wednesday-ish. I took my temperature on Thursday and it came up with 102.7 degrees. I went to school on Friday because I felt much, MUCH better. My voice was a little cracked and I had a runny nose, but I was pretty much okay. BTW, throughout this I've been taking Motrin [for my knees], Tylenol, and Nyquil [before I went to bed]. I've been having a very bad headache, you know the ones where you like just slightly shake your head and it feels really bad. On Thursday and Friday, it was at its worst. I've been getting enough sleep and drinking milk in the morning and sometimes granola bars, but I don't get a chance to eat breakfast in the morning. I sometimes take showers in the morning when I can't at night, or I just wake up really late.
As of now, Saturday, I have a 101.6 degree temperature. I have a runny nose and my throat is a sore when I swallow. My ears have a lot of fluid in them and they've been hurting.
Now, could it be possibly that I have tonsillitis?
The symptoms of tons. are:
Find that it hurts to swallow. If the pain is intense, the child may stop swallowing saliva and start to drool.
Complain of an earache
Have a fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
Complain of a headache.
Complain of a stomachache (this is quite common).
Complain of general aches and pains, loss of appetite and may vomit.
Have bad smelling breath.
Could that be it? I match all of the symptoms.
Thank you so much for your help. (link)

Why are you asking this on advicenators? I am very sorry that you are so sick, but don't you have a gardian to take care of you? I think that you should talk to you caregiver and a doctor. NOW.

hey well im a 15/f.. and i don't why but i feel so ugly compared to the other girls at my school... They are lkike so grogeous and guys actually talk to them and stuff... well me i have hair on my face like on my upper lip im always getting made fun of because people think im weird and anorexic because im soo skinny... and i want to get a makeover because im tired of judging me... so should i get a makeover? and don't say no you should just be yourself.. well it doesn't work like that at my school its either your pretty and you fit in or your ugly and everyone hates you... so what should i do? (link)
|
I feel your pain, honey biscuit! When I was in school I had ENORMOUS bucked teeth! I finally saved up enough money for a dentist's trip. I got one of them pulled out and the other one sanded down. I always felt ugly compared to the pretty girls at my school. If you want to get a makeover, DO IT! Do't let it change your personality but if you really think that you can buy people's friendship with a makeover, try it. It sure worked for me.

I'm in a bit of an awkward possition. My girlfriend and I have recently been doing some exploration with our bodies and have stopped using condoms all together. A few days ago I found out that she wants to have children and that she doesnt want to wait till we're out of high school. I've also heard rumors from my friends that she's planning something. I want to know if, well, its alright to have children at a young age. (link)
|
Baby, I had my first child at 15 and it ruined my life. Do I love my children... yes. Do I regret having them.... no. But I do wish that I had been more careful. Now I am a young grandma. I never finished highschool, I rent a trailer from a shady man named "Blood." I don't have a husband and I am flat broke.
Go to college, live your life, get married, have fun while ya still can!
Having babies takes the fun and money out of everything, trust me.
I am going to put you in my book of prayers.
Love

Okay so, there's this band that's basically one of my favorite bands. I've seen them live twice, and have met two members, but was totally casual and cool about it. I didn't get an autograph, picture, annoy them, etc. We just talked. But, the thing is, when I listen to their songs I get butterflies. This happend even before I met them or saw them in person. If someone asks me who and what the name of the song is, and it's by them, I wont tell them because I don't want them to know about them. I find this extremly weird/insane of me. Am I really weird? Cause in my mind this is NOT normal. How could someone get butterflies from a bands music? And why am I so "protective" of them? I need some SERIOUS answers to this from people who know what they're talking about. PLEASE HELP! It's driving me crazy! (link)
|
Is the band TILLY AND THE WALL? Because I love them. I have seen them once and met them. I have talked to Kianna (bass player) through myspace, and for a while, I didn't want my graddaughter's friends to like them or my friends to like them. I wanted them to stay small and personal. Then, I completely turned my point around. Now, I want EVERYONE to love them because the diserve to be loved and adored. Just lighten up a bit.

i think im asking for too much for christmas. im not sure if all the gifts im getting are neccesery. hes my list of gifts that my parents are buying and tell me if im asking for way too much.
1. new digital camera $200-$250
2. ipod nano $150-$200
3.psp $200
4. psp games about $40 each
5. abercrombie clothes $105
6. stuff from bath and body works $15
7. movies $40
and more that i forgot. honestly, is that too much for my parents to buy? i dont wanna seem like a spoiled brat. my parents are wealthy - they wont have trouble affording it but i dont know. (link)
|
That is quite a list! But if your parents think that its too much the ywon't get you all that stuff. I could ask my parents (yes they ARE still alive) for a new hunting rifle, some t.v. dinners and a new easy chair. Thats ALOT in my family, so I just wouldn't expect to get all that stuff. Just let your parents get you what the want to get you.

How can I become a better writer? I have trouble starting sentences. I usually use "I, It, the, He/She". I really want to improve my grammar. I want to know how to remember new words easy.
I'm in 10th grade and I don't feel like I'm up to it, even though when I take those tests.. I get above average for english/grammar.
I really like to write but it's no good because I don't know how to describe something well.
Is there any books for me? Any tips? (link)
|
I don't know how you can get better at grammar, that just takes practice. But I do have some tips on making your sentences more creative and interesting.
*Show don't tell. If you are talking about somebody being angry say, "She balled up her fist and her face reddened." instead of "She was mad."
Ya know. Along those lines.
*Don't use "be" verbs like was, is, am, etc. Use exciting verbs like 'stroll' instead of 'walk.'
*Use new vocabulary words. If you ise a word 18 times its a permanant part of your vocabulary.
*Read books by David Sedaris. He's a brilliant writer and is very descriptive, funny, loveable.
Plus he is a friend of mine.
Good Luck, baby.

I feel like I'm more spiritual than Religious. My family is of the Christian faith. I'm not sure that I'm that religious. I believe in horoscopes (don't judge me) and the power of herbal healing and I feel like I'm more intouch with my spiritual side. Then again, I feel bad for being like that because I'm afraid I'm going to go to hell for not being that religious. I just feel guilty.
What are y'alls opinions on this?
What should I do? (link)
|
Hey , Darlin'.
I've tangled with the christian faith for an upwardsof 49 years now and it can be misleading. I think that it is ABSOLUTELY fine to read your horoscope, they're fun. If you start to base your life around what some loser makes up and puts in your local paper, thats a different story. You won't go to hell, well, that depends on what kind of cristian you are. Some of 'em make it seem like everyone is going to hell.
Just do what works for you.

Three different people called me emo because I was scratching myself with a tac. No I am NOT trying to be emo because I am way to terified that I will die if I even come close to any razor, or knife, or whatever. But I was just bored I wasn't like trying to be emo or anything. So now those three people are spreading rumors that I am emo. At my school if you are called emo then you suddenly are part of a group of people who die their hair jet black and cut their wrists. I saw that group and I don't want to be apart of that even though I am gonna die my hair black. (i've been trying to get my dad to let me die my hair since I was 7!) also i listen to all the same stuff the emos listen to just because i like it i cant help it if we like the same stuff. what can i do to stop the rumors? (link)

The rumors sre true. You sound like and emo. I'm sorry, honey, but that emo music has converted your brain to an emo.
My advice: "If ya can't beat em, join em!"
Good Luck, emo baby.

ok....today at school this gurl named kayla (the gurl who leaves me out) said that her and rikki (my bff) were going to a festival together without me. it made me feel bad cause my best friend didnt even tell me, and i wouldn\'t of gotton mad if she did. also today...i was telling her bye on the bus when i had to get off and she said \"go samantha...i am trying to sit by rikki!\" and she was really rude...and you know, you get the small things everyday. she will come up to talk to her in the hallway and just ignore me and she will give her hugs, sit by her at lunch and all that stuff and i have triend over and over and over to make friends with her and she still is rude because she wants rikki to herself. i know if i tell rikki, she will get mad because she dosent think kayla is being mean or rude to me. thats just the way she is. she also just talks to kayla when kayla is around us, unless i statrt a conversation between us. also...if i just go on my own and not talk to them...i dont have any other really good friends so i would be all alone if you say that they are being bad friends...i would rather be treated like this than be all by myself. i have cried myself to sleep thinking about this. please please help.
(link)

Baby, this happens to everybody. There are a few things that you should do.
*Talk to Rikki when Kayla is not around. (On the phone, possibly) Tell her whats goin' on.
*Make new friends. I am not tryin' to tell ya to get over Rikki, but if you have other friends to fall back on when other friends are busy you will feel better. You have to learn to share Rikki with the world.
*Finally, learn how to spell girl. Its got an 'i.' It will make you SO much more popular. Take it from Grandma Betty.

Hi my name is Katie. I think my friend Brandi has a problem. She told me today that she got drunk yesterday and she cut herself with a razor all over her wrist and hand. I am really worried about her because she talks about all the time and I don't want her to do anything stupid. I think she might be doing it for attention but you can never be sure with because it is not something to toy with. I told her if she keeps cutting I will not talk to her anymore because I don't want to see her hurt like this. I love her alot but I don't want her to think I am okay with this. What should I do? I want to tell a school counsler but I don't want them to try to get help for her because she will know I was the one that told and I don't want her to me. Please help me with this problem. I want to be a good friend and help her but I don't know what to do.
thank you alot!
Katie

Dear KATIE,
The only reason that people ever cut themselves is for attention. Take it from me, I caught my grandchild, Louisa, cutting herself. Then she was showing off her cuts to everyone and acting pathetic. It turns out that her friends had stopped talking to her that week. Louisa wasn't cutting because she was upset, she was cutting because she wanted attention. When found out about Louisa's cutting I hit her in the chest, and she stopped.
Your pal Brandi shouldn't be drinking, cutting, or bragging about it so maybe you should hit her in the chest. It worked for me.
Love,
