my sweet 16s coming up and i'm wondering who i should invite i mean like do i invite the friends of my friends who i don't really talk to? or just like everyone in my school or what? i'm totally clueless (link)
It all depends on what you want. I mean, do you realy want a huge party with a bunch of people that you dont even know? Most likely not. Just invite you friends, thats what i did and we had an awsome time. Every one knew each other, and i didnt have to worry about runing back and forth between difrent cliks or any fight between difrent cliks.
hope this helps & happy sweet 16!


I'm 18.. and a virgin..
I've been going out with a guy for a year now...we love eachother alot...
I want to have sex after marriage..
due to religious reasons and also because i think it will be of more value when you have sex for the first time on your first night...
But he wants to have sex before that....
the 1st time i explained my reasons to him he said he understood.. but now he seems to be changing..
a few days ago he bought that conversation up again
and when i explained it to him all over again he was pissed with me
"aren't you willing to have sex with me?" "dont you love me?" "why are you doing this to me?"

etc

why is he in such a hurry? doesnt he value me or respect me???

what can be wrong


I just dont know what to do now..
please help me:(

please dont tell me to dump him... I love him alot and i cant live without him...

is anything wrong with me??? if so please explain ...

Please help me...

1st of all nothings wrong with you, your just falowing your values. Its just hard for some ppl to understant, like your boyfriend for example. Although im sure he dose respect you, it koos like hes trying to voice what he needs from you... Stay strong and remain true to your values, but have you ever considerd manual or oral stimulation. Its not realy sex but its quite stimulating.
hope this helps.


Me and my family are having some home problems right now..my dad left my mom 3 years ago, but there still married. This christmas will be 4 years since he left. He doesn't give my mom enough money, and if he does, thats only enough to pay the house payment, then she has no money to buy food, also, she has 2 kids, and I'm the oldest and my brother is only 10. My dad is so...I don't know what to say, he gets paid every other friday, right? Well, one friday he'll give my mom 600-700$ or less, and 500$ is the house payment, and then she either has 100$ or 200$ left, yeah, thats only a little bit of food, but she has bills, too, like the phone bill, internet, drug store, etc. She gets social security cause she has one arm, that has nerve damage, but thats only for the bills, not for me and my brother. It use to go to us, we use to be perfect, we had the money when my dad was here, now, my moms late on the house, and late with alot of bills, and we can't even buy anything anymore! Our house is really bad, we had a leak, and the insurance still haven't gave us our money yet, but we're calling them, and hopefully they will. This hurts so bad, but my mom is getting a divorce soon. Why is she finally getting one? She didn't have the money back then, and I don't think my dad couldv'e filed for one, since he left, but still. Should I pray? A few nights ago I prayed, I said "God please help us get some help, let us get a new home, and my mom get a divorce so she can start over and have a happy life." I'm going to pray everynight now, and hopefully we'll get some help. My mom NEEDS to start over, my dad kills her everytime he comes by, and now, he barely comes and sees us anymore. Only when he HAS to, or gets paid. He doesn't even care about me, and he already made my mom have a stroke and he thought it was funny, and he made fun of her, because the doctor at the hospital asked her questions, and she said the wrong one, and my dad laughed. That makes me dislike him even more. Should I sign my famly up for that show "Extreme Home Makeover" you know, on ABC. We are having problems, and we really do need it. I can't invite friends over cause it's so bad. We really need help with are home, and get my mom caught up with her bills, and our home. We can't lose this house, we'll have no where to go..

Sorry this was long, I just need to know if there's any help out there, and I don't know who to ask.
Thanks to anyone who reads this and replies! (link)
Praying is always a good idea, dont give up hope quite yet. Theres no harm in trying to sign up for the extreem home make over show, although there are no garenties that they will help, they usualy do larger cases... like helping someone who has cancer or had a house torn appart in a huricain. But at least you could say that you tried.
Something you did not mention was wether or not someone els was working in the house... maybe you could get a part time job if you are old enough... help out a little. If not you could just try and make things less stressfull on your mom, tryand help out with some household chores that she might not be able to get to at times... avoid possible arguments with your brother... small things can make a big diffrence.
As for beeing embaressed its normal, but just try to be proud of what you do have. Alot of people would be happy to have what you do.
A roof over your head, a mother and brother who cares, and even a father whos acctualy paying something to your mother. Some fathers dont pay a cent.
Try to forgive him, he too could be going trew alot that you dont know about.
Keep your chin up!
all we get better soon, just keep them prayers going.


Hi, I'm organizing a Halloween party for about twenty five kids ranging from four to twelve and would like some game ideas. I need something that the younger kids can do but that the older kids would have fun doing as well. I would also like some prize ideas for the winners if you can think of anything. Thank you so much. (link)
No childrens party's complete without a pinata! their so much fun and keeps kids entertained until they break it and collect the falling treats.
You could do a pumpkin painting contest... seeing as carving would not be so apropriate for the younger children. Maybe devide the group into 2 or 3 age groups and give out a prize for each one.
Although its not a game... you cant go wrong with serving candie or carmel aples.
There is also the game wear you take a cardbord box paint it black cut out holes for hands to fit in and put like a bowl of spaghetie, jello, other slimy or textured stuff and say its brains or you could hard boil a few eggs take the shell off and say their eye balls... and the kids can feel around in that
Face paintings never get old and its cheap
you could also bake cookies and have them decorate them with candies and icing...

As for prizes the dollar store is great for that!
you could have a girls bag and a boys bag.
The girls could have hair stuff, small dolls, or ponnys... lip gloss/lip balm..
The boys could have army men, little balls, toy cars...
Coloring stuff and art stuff is always great things that kids of all ages like.

Hope i gave you a few ideas that could help!
have fun


I just got a HORRIBLE grade on a test. Definitely failed. I've never gotten a grade so low, and I don't know what to do or think. I can't make it up or get extra credit. I keep crying and I've never gotten under a B+ on my report card. I know you guys can't help me magically change my grade, but any words of comfort? Thanks so much. (link)
Its only one bade grade. We all fail at times becaus no one is perfect...although some like to think they are, they just arn't.
The best part about stuff like this is that we can learn from it. Try and figure out just what happen that made you get that bad grade. Ask your teacher for extra help... or maybe just go over what you did wrong on the test... if its everything so be it. So then you'll learn for the next time and wont repeat the same mistakes.
Hope this helps!

Just like all the others who awnserd the question said... its not up to your friends to choose is up to you and you can choose to do whatever you want.
Yet what you want to do might be rough, especialy with no expireience...
Try singing up for some theater classes... get a part time job as a modle... Theres adds and stuff in the newspaper... heck even if its for department store clothing catalog... everyone has to start somewere... try some fashion desing classes that are probly offerd at your school or comubity center.. or college classes.
Basicly just get expirienced... its hard to be discoverd if you havn't done anything in that field.
hope this helps!


didn't know what collumn to put this in but anyway,
for my 16th birthday i am having a bonfire party at a shore, my dad has got 2 gizeebo's which we will put the fire in the middle of them we're going to get glow sticks and stuff for night
but if anyone has fun ideas then please do let me know everything will be appreciated

x (link)
WEll seeing as its at a shore... you could have voley ball, limbo... roasting mashmalows, smores...or my favorite! bannana boats. What it is, is a bannana that you cut length wise with the peel still on. And inside you stuff it with small marshmallows and chocolat chips... then you rap it up in tinfoil and set it in the coals of the fire for a few minuts and then eat the insides! yummm!
well hope this helps and hope you have a great sweet 16!


Ok so I will be turning 16 on December 20th. My mom would let me have like a big party, except I have NO clue what I would do. First of all, I don't have a huge amount of friends...so I'm confused as to who I should invite. I don't have a lot of guy friends at ALL. Actually I would say I don't have any. There's some guys that I just talk to, that I could invite...but I'm not exactly friends with them. I'm pretty shy, so that's why...and also that might be kinda weird if I asked them to come. I dunno. Like do people invite people they JUST talk to sometimes? Ahh... So then I was thinking just a few of my friends go somewhere, like maybe a movie or out to dinner. But that seems boring. I feel like I need to have a sweet 16 party...otherwise 16 is just another year older. I want it to be fun and stuff. But I have no clue what to do. Help?! Thanks so much! :] (link)
In that case i would just have a small party with my close friends. Go out somewere... if moneys not a problem you could rent a winter cottage... thats always fun... or if your on a smaller budjet dinner and an asortmant of activities, like mobvies or an all ages club... somthing of the sort would be fun...
If you ask me as corny as this is going to sound the best parties are the ones that you spend with you friends.
hope this helps!


Ok well i want to lose some weight but i cant seem to do it someone told me it's because i'm setting my goals to high and that i should set them lower so do you think like toneing my arms would be a low enough goal? cause i could like say the first month or however long it takes to one my arms then move on to my legs or something then my stomach or something like that (link)
It realy depends what your goal is... like if your 300pds and you want to be as thin as a modle in like 3 months... yeah thats a little too high up there... but just toning up you can do that all at once, with setting goals... like il work out for 5 minutes all all parts of the body 3-4/week for 2 weeks the move it up 5 or 10 minutes each time... thats a way to set a physical goal... its aslo whats recomended by most gyms... its gets your body used to the physical activity.
hope this helps!


So I got accepted into a vocational highschool and I decided I didn't want to go but my parents had to be unfair and transfer me out of my highschool behind my back and now I have to go to this voc highschool the thing is I don't want to start new all over again I don't wanna look stupid and I hate being new. Does anyone have any advice on how to just go with the flow and how to make friends and less enemies? Also my ex goes to this highschool and me and him got into a huge argument and I really don't want to face him . Please any advice would be good. (link)
Beeing new can be real hard. You've probly herd this one a millon times but il say it anyways;
Just be your self. Dont forget to be open minded when meating new people. That way you'll make a whole lot more friends then enemies. Also try joining in some clubs you might be interrested in, just put yourself out there in a positive way. As for your Ex, avoid the negative, if that means him at all costs do it.
Hope this helps and all goes well at your new school!

alrite everyone i need some major help .. i know this is weird but im 19 years old and ive never had sex.. and im a female just to get that straight.. i have a boyfriend and we've been dating for about 2 months now. and he wants to have sex. i knew he had sex with his ex girlfriend all the time so when we first started dating i told him i just wanted to wait awhile to have sex with him. now that its been awhile our relationship is kida crummy bc we dont have sex i suppose. but i dont know what to do because i want to have sex. but im scared to death of getting pregnant. he told me that precum has no sperm whatsoever. how effective is it to have sex, use a condom and pull it out before he goes? does precum have any sperm in it? do you think that i should get on birth control first and does birth control make you gain weight? plessseee help:( (link)
Hey,
Don't worry its perfectly normal that you havn't yet had sex, some people just choose to wait and others don't. The only way to have sex and not get pregnant is to go on the pill. Gaining a little weight is a side afect that afects some girls, its basicly just retained water. But its either the pill and sex, or just no sex if you dont want to get pregnant.
Oh and remember to use a condom aswell, even if your on the pill, such thing dose not pretect against STD's.

Hope this helps!

I have to do a school project on a controversial/ethical subject and I wanted to choose something other than the death penalty or abortion. I have chosen to do underage drinking. As part of research for the project we have been asked to gather different points of view about the topic and I decided Advicenators would be an ideal place to get some of these opinions/experiences.

If you could take a few minutes to answer these questions/give any additional infomation then it would be very much appreciated.

Did you drink when you were underage? (I know that the legal age varies in different countries, so just go with whatever the legal age is where you are). If so, how often? Where and how did you obtain the alcohol? I'm focussing a large section of the paper on the use of fake ID/asking older friends etc to buy alcohol for you, so if you have any experiences with that, then please let me know in as much detail as possible.

Thank you. (link)
Im 17 soon to be 18... like in a few months, the drinking age were i live is 19... so i guess you could say that im an under ageg drinker.
I dot drink alot, mainly at partys but i dont get totaly waisted or annything like that, i just enjoy the occasional drink. I also drink wine with my parent or ather family members ( my family beeing french ) its almost normal i guess.
Usulay its my parent who give buy the alchol, my parents would rather know if i'm going to be drinking and what i'd be drinking, then me getting it from some guy or something behind their backs.
I find that most teens who drink can go a little over bord with it.
Oh( i just recently started drinking alchool besides wine this summer) so its not like my parents have been suplying me with stuff all my life, basicly after they caught me drinking the first time.
hope this helps




i just got a new puppy. an american eskimo. and shes 9 months old.
we have her outside a lot. but she never uses the bathroom outside. instead she pees and poops inside. which is not good, obviously.
help? :/ i dont wanna get rid of her. (link)
My pup used to do the same. Try and keep him in a smaller ristricted area... like a kenal with a blanket or their dog bed. (sounds a little mean i know, but most dogs dont like "going" in their beds) Keep her their when she is not supervised, like when you leave the house, or when you sleep, or concentrated on other things. Then set regulatory time were you take her outside about 15-20 after her feeding and once befor you go to bed yourself. Keep her out there for a good amount of time, try even wallking her becaus that makes them have to poop... When and If she trys to poop in the house... usualy you can tell when there gonna do something, put her outside ASAP! If she dose stick her nose in it tell her shes bad then put her staight out side.
She'll soon get the idea.
hope this helps... sorry its so long hehe

What's that one movie with Jim Carey where he meets God or something? PLEASE LET ME KNOW! (link)
The name of the movie is "bruce all mighty"... its real good and quite funny.


Right so i know a few people who were their jeans low and then their boxers show..do girls get put off/ turned on by this ? or does it dpend on the person ? (link)
It depends on the persson. Personaly it dosn't turn me on or make me any more interested in the guy. It also depends on how much of your boxers are showing the band is ok, but when i see a tuff of boxers above the jeans... its just not plesent to have to look at.

Hope this helps!


Okay...we've got some creative people here, so I hope you can help. Today on Thanksgiving we are buying a new horse. He's 15 HH, A Paint, White with some sorrel spots (Tobiano)and 3 years old. I am racking my brain coming up with names. His name is already Chester..and that name just irks me for some reason. I don't want to call him Toby because the stable owner already has a Toby who is a bay paint. A fellow horseperson is making fun of me because I am buying a paint, he doesn't like the spots! So I replied OH MY GOD! I "SEE SPOTS"! I thought about running with that for a name, but I know it would be misprounced Hi-C, I even considered spelling it Icee Spots and calling him Ice or Icee. I'd Like it to have at least three words in the name but then call him only one of those words for short. I have looked at the sites on line but nothing really trips my trigger. Everyone has the old stand by names "Scout, Cisco, Jack, Captain" and so on. Help! Something to do with thanksgiving would be nice..but not "Turkey"...could only imagine that at the shows! (link)
Ifound the first on the internet...not shure if thats something your looking for...
Blaze of glory
Blaze of grace

For the whole thanksgiving idea:
1.Hamid (arabic) (means thankful,praising)
2.Jadon (Hebrew) (means thankful)
3.Oluwasuen (Yoruba) (means we thank god)
4.Shakir (arabic) (means Thankful)
5.Shukir (arabic) (means thanking)
6.Taongo (African) (means we are thankfull)
7.Tatenda (african) (means thank you)

well these names are most definatly origial.
Hope you like them!!!


Alright so, my boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and we've started having sex. We usually use condoms, but I was wondering.. how effective is the "pull-out method" i know a lot of people think it should be shunned but, i know a lot of people who have done it a lot and have had nothing happen. What do you guys think? (link)
I think its a chance i rather not take, i mean its not garented to work...be smart take the pill, its way more efective.

Hope this helps!
