about

Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm a sophmore in highschool. I've been through many exhausting and depressing trials with friendship and drama and know my fair share of heartbreak. If you have a problem I'll be here to answer so don't be hesitant. :]

advice

i just graduated and im very worried about my old friends because im going
to high school next year and im scared that i not gonna see my old friends anymore..='( how do we keep in touch with ur old friendsand stay close to them? is it possible that if am lucky u get same class with my old friend?

When I graduated from junior high to highschool, it was frightening. And what you fear CAN come true. But, in place of old friends that you lose in touch with come new friends and so on. Some people may fall away and new may fall in. It's just how highschool goes for most of the time. If you and your friends want to keep in touch you could always join some sort of club that you know would be together, or join a same sports team.

All I'm trying to say is that with highschool comes a lot of changes, or at least it did for me. Some friends find their own new clique and you find your own, if someone is a real and true best friend they'll find a way to stay with you, same classes or not.

Foundatin doesn't really work well for me.
Is powder any good?
What's with pressed powder and the other.. loose powder?
Do you get powder that's a shade lighter than your skin color?

Well, from what I've come to know foundation is just what it sounds like. It's a foundation for the rest of your makeup so you should get a tone that is equal to your skin to even out any blemishes. With powder I'd recommend the same thing, use the same color as your skin tone or as close as you can get.

I have very light skin and use both concealer and foundation as a base for my makeup, then I put on my powder and then I do my eyeliner and such.

If you learn how to use powder and foundation effectively (just ask one of the workers at your local makeup counter for help on tones) it can make your skin look smoother and more even. Definately good.

are "hardcore" and hardXcore" the same thing? or does "hardXcore" mean you're NOT hardcore. i'm really confused! please help.

I'm pretty sure it means the same. The X is just something people put in there because they thought it would look cool. I know straightedge is where you have 'x's on the backs of your hands so maybe it has something to do with that.

I am a vegitarian (not a vegan, I still consume dairy products and seafood) does anyone know of good recipes that can be eaten on a lowcarb or better yet no carb diet, I'm tired of cooking and eating the same thing, I need some new ideas..Please post your responces if you have any suggestions..Thank you ..and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Well first. Any veggies are carbs. So you've practically cut yourself off from a lot of options.

Dairy products contain less carbs, but still have a lot of them. See.. Carb pyramid goes like this.

producers (grass, wheat, anything that's a plant and uses the sun to make energy practically.) the most carbs

And then the eaters of the producers (cows, animals, meat.) Less, but still chock full of em.

Milks and Cheeses. Basically Dairy products have less. The fact of the matter is, that just about everythign has carbs.

If you want to be a healthy vegetarian (I'm a vegetarian too, except I don't eat seafood, basically no meat, just dairy )then you have to maintain how much protein you get. But along with being a vegetarian you end up eating a lot of carbs, if you eat a good amount of veggies. So if you want to eat in more of a dietary fashion, then try getting out and excercising.

Carbs are only bad for you if you don't use them. I'm guessing that you don't excercise much because you didn't mention it. So I can't really do a good job. But what I'm saying is, you need carbs, and they're good for you.

Personally I don't believe in low carb diets, people just fall off of them and get all of the weight back.

I do know there are a lot of things on the shelves though if you still want to do this. There are a lot of diet plans that have the no-carb idea as their main foundation, and have premade food you can find in grocery stores. Just look out for em' Otherwise, I suppose if you wanted to cut down on the carbs, and still get good amounts of protein, then you could eat more yogurts and cheeses and milk.

Plus, check FoodNetwork.com. They have the greatest search plain for recipes. :) Hope I helped a little.. this definately is lengthy.. :/ Sorry bout that. :)

Okay I was going out with my boyfriend for like 2 1/2 to 3 months and then I broke up with him because he was just not working out for me. But the worst thing is that he was my best friend and now it is kinda akward when we talk if we even talk at all. And he thinks I hate him because I don't talk to him all the time and i don't hate him I just dont have anything to say to him anymore. I just kinda need to know what do to here.
thx

Don't try and rush being friends again.. When you see him, and an opportunity presents itself just casually comment about something. Or ask him about homework. Something simple and without any flirting qualities. Over time if you guys were really good friends to begin with it should start forming again.


And you could also just tell him how you feel. Ask him if he wants to hang out with you and some other friends at the mall or something. Just find a way to include him and make it like it used to be. Don't give up hope.


p.s. good luck, if you need anymore help, don't hesitate to drop another question by. :)

I'm a 15 year old girl. There's this guy I know. I really like him. Like, really like him. But last week I found out he was a total pothead and it's /really/ tearing me up. I don't know the whole story, like how much he uses and when and stuff, but he knows this kid who I think is a dealer and they hang out a lot. The kid was teaching him how to smoke out of a pen. I don't know if I should tell anyone, since I have no proof, try and get someone to check him out, or just keep quiet. I'm just... So confused. And it hurts a lot, seeing as he's such a great guy. I don't want him to end up with serious damage. Any advice?

I totally understand. Well, it's different for me I guess. One of my good friends just started getting involved with this kind of drug that's really this cough medicene, that if you take enough of becomes a hallucinogen.

I really, really hate it when they do it and it hurts me because they're my friend and I don't want them to get hurt or to ruin their life.

So what I've done, is I've told them I don't want to be their friend until they stop, we could talk, but I didn't want to hang out with them, or give them a hug or anything. In a nutshell it was the cold shoulder. I expressed that I really hated what they were doing to themselves, and that it really hurts me to see them like that.


Either show him, or tell him that you don't like it when he smokes pot. Pot is not physically addictive, but it is mentally addictive. People like how you zone out, how you don't have to think about anything that's going on in your life. And also people just find it to be a good past time.


You obviously really like this guy, and it's sincere. So don't give up on him, push him to change and to stop. Show him out bad it is for him. Make him see how much you worry.


:) good luck. And if you need anymore help, don't hesitate to ask.

hey ok...well i am a person who likes to run, but now that its getting into fall weather, i get kinda lazy and i dont ever want to go out. its a weird thing b/c i like running and if i do get myself out there i enjoy it, but i dont do it much anymore b/c i'm like that:P what can i do to make myself get up and go run everday-something i love

If you want to make yourself for sure get up, tell one or both of your parents to wake you up and make you go. That way you can't really not run, and you'll end up getting out there and liking it. Also, since is cold and if you don't want to because of that, wear some sweats. I don't know if you do or don't have them because you didn't mention it, so just saying.


Anyways, yep, that's my suggestion.

Why is everyone"s belly button different because i have a belly button fetish and i was just wondering+.

o_O that's really strange. But your belly button is different because of the way the doctor cuts the umbilical (I have no idea how that's spelled) cord when you're born.

Ok this could be long! I am in 8th grade and last year there was a kid in my class. EvEryone made fun of him and he was bipolar and had some mental problems. Well, yesterday 11/3. He attempted suicude for the second time. He jumped from the bak of a moving school bus and he is now in acoma. He broke his arm and probably his bak and neck too. He isn't dead though. ThEre was BLooD everywhere. The first time he tried to stab himself with scissors. I feel really bad because I was one to make fun of him. How can i make myself not feel so bad? ALl my freinds say im different since but im really scared for the kid. He seems like he could be nice. Plese help will rate. _-HeArtbreaker-__

Well making fun of him was wrong, but, your friends are right. You feel bad, and you know it was wrong. If you really want to help him then you could try talking to him. But I don't recomend doing it alone or in a secluded place because he sounds sort of.. unstable much? If you show him that his life is worth living, and tell him your sorry.. that you were wrong about making fun of him then maybe it'll help. :) hope all goes well.

first off: WILL RATE A 5 IF YOU HELP ME OUT! ok i had this dream...let me explain it...

there was this evil being (kinda like soemthign that came out of Charmed...lol) and it kept chasing me around and trying to kill me. but i guess it kinda had a human form. kinda like the guy who had knocked up pheobe. but he was trying to kill me. he would get ahold of me and then like drag me around and stuff, liek torturing me before he killed me. granted, i made alot of escape attempts, many failing fromthe start, many almost suceeding but not quite. then he had gotten me into his truck (dont ask) and was going to drive it off the cliff and dissapear before it hit bottom. He said he would let me live under one codnition. I provided him with an heir. at first i refused, but i guess the fact of knowign my life was on the line scared me so much i gave in. then i remember
thinking "i have to tell steve i can never see him again. for his safety" (see, i even think of you in my dreams!) then the guy, before taking offmy handcuffs, told me that he wanted a daughter b/c he already had a son. the next thing i remember i was outside and i had a son on my knee then somethign came jumping out at me and scared me shitless and i woke from it.

That was the dream. and my boyfreind got upset b.c i told him (online this afternoon...he is out of state on family business...his mom is sick) and he goes "so even in your dreams you would rather cheat on me than die. i would rather die personally. but its a dream and we cant always control our dreams" then he signed off! didnt say good bye or anything. is he mad at me? does my dream mean anything? I WILL RATE A 5 IF YOU HELP ME OUT!

Well, it seems to me like your boyfriend is a bit oversensitive. I mean your LIFE was on the line. What were you supposed to do? Let him kill you? How would your boyfriend feel if you were dead rather than there with him.


It's kind of insecure to think just because of a dream that you want to cheat on him.


And the dream, the mood mainly is fear right? So you are most likely fearful of cheating on him, of having to make that choice of hurting him. Perhaps? Explain that to him, that you weren't really cheating on him in the dream, that you really did not want to. But it meant your life, that any sane person would save themselves.


He needs to get a grip. geez.

I got my rabbit about 6 months ago. It's not trained and i dont kno how. I tried giving it treats when she does tricks but SHE NEVER DOES ANY TRICKS! How do i train her to sit, lay down, and all the basic things?

Rabbits don't really lay down.. or sit.. they crouch and it's like sit and lay all in one. That and rabbits really aren't very smart.. they don't really do tricks. Sorry for the bad news.. my rabbit was just content bouncing around and eating grass. You can get rabbit leashes at like.. petco so you can hold him and let him jump around and eat grass in your yard. Rabbits also really like it if you give them like the leftovers from a salad at dinner. Just some advice. Also, you need to put some wood or something in there because they have to chew down their teeth somehow, because they'll keep growing and that can be a serious problem.

Yeah...I have an advice column...But for once I don't know what to do here. Im soo lost. I love this kid so much. And like he told me that he would ask me out..but it wouldn't be fair to me. So today we were on the phone and I told him that he was sooo sarcastic. And he's like ouch that hurts. And I never wanted to hurt him. That was the last thing I wanted to do. And I wrote him a letter and emailed it to him....It basically said that I didn't deserve him adn that he's amazing and everything adn that he deserves someone so much better than mee...and now I haven't stopped crying in like....an hour...I love him so much...and i judt don't know if i did the right thing...or what i should do from here? Im just so confused...it sucks...please help me...kthanks

ok.. number one, why wouldn't it be fair to you? Number two, from what I get of the phone conversation.. he was joking with you. And number three.. chill out. Don't say he deserves someone better than you or any of that shit. If you want him, you have to get him and not be insecure about whether you will be "deserving." Tell him you really like him, that you both would work out and you really want to give it a try and definately. DEFINATELY, make it a point that he is the one that does not deserve you.

Anyone know a site(s) that have a lot of pretty tattoo's to choose from?

Go to a Tattoo parlor.. they have plenty to choose from, so you don't really need a website.. that is if you are planning on getting one.. which you didn't say if you were..

I a suffering from:
Chronic depression, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, an eating disorder, obsessive complusive disorder, and anger/low self worth problems. I don't see how I am still living. Could any illness occur from all these, I have heard you can deveop tumors and other various things from so many mental illnesses?

So much stress (I'm guessing you have a lot of it from these illnesses) has been known to cause physical illness, because when you are at a high stress level your immune system is weakened. Therefore, you are more susceptable to diseases. You can also gain a rash, or a sleeping disorder. I have not heard anything as serious as a tumor from these problems. You may want to check with your doctor if you really want a good straight answer, or WebMD.com is pretty helpful.

well first i am 14/f, and anyone makes fun of my question in anyway, i will report you and get you banned. and well people who are willing to help, please help i need help ASAP. my problem is this. i am crushing on a gay guy. i just met him and he first denied that he was, but today he told me and my friend that he is gay. but he is fits so perfect for my dream prince. he likes stuff i like, and such. not to mention he is sooo hot.

so please, is there anyway i can turn him straight? i know it will be really hard and i can't help it because its like hormon, but i have heard of few stories that it can happen. but i dont know how, and please dont say give up, because i know most of you will try to do that but i already know that , but i have to try at least!! so please please help me.

i rate 5 if it helps even a little.

A gay person cannot turn straight, I'm sorry to tell you. There are many other fish in the sea, so even though you don't want to hear it the best advice is to give up and just be his friend..

what foods are filling that you don't have to eat a lot of and will keep you full for a while and are good for you?

beef jerky is usually pretty filling. I used to eat it like crazy when I wasn't a veggie.. funny story that.. anyway.


Beef jerky is good for you after a race or something or any hard physical exertion because it puts the salt you sweat out back into your body, not to mention it is very filling.


(( a very good snack for testing and such or just for that quick fix during the summer. ))


:) hope I helped. tootles.
