ok so i'm writing a story. Its about a little girl wo is very afraid of her dentist. She thinks that he is a murderer who wants to kill her mom and is very observant of what is going on. The truth is that his mom is having an affair with the dentist, but the story is told kind of scarily as if it is really a murder mystery. it would be more in depth and exciting in the real story, but what i'm wondering is:
should i write it from the point of view of the little girl who's only seven? or should it be from a narrator's point of view who talks about what the girl is thinking and stuff. It would be easier to make the writing better from a narrators point of view, but would it be more effective to write it from the little girl's perspective? (link)
For this particular case I have not advice but I have general advice on methods of narration that can help you decide for not only this story but any others following.

First Person Major
(Advantages:)
Give illusion of a story teller.
Excellent for use of irony.
Reader identifies with character more easily.
Authority of eyewitness-more real and intimate.
(Disadvantages:)
May give impression of conceit.
Usually told from a biased point of view.
Main character is (usually) unable to die.

First Person Minor
(Advantages:)
May describe main character directly and or all characters.
Suspense and surprise created by concealing thoughts of main character.
(Disadvantages:)
Presence must always be justified.

Third Person Omniscient (all knowing)
(Advantages:)
Author can reveal thoughts of any character.
Author can explain and comment signifigances.
(Disadvantages:)
May result in lack of focus or emphasis.
Not realistic.
Hampers reader from reaching own coclusions.

Third Person Objective (limited)
(Advantages:)
Flexible-allows main character to die at end.
Author can describe and comment on character.
More objective-dramatic-reader makes own judgments.
(Disadvantages:)
Limits reader's knowledge of action to what central character expeiriences.
Reader loses depth based on character's feelings and thoughts.

Third Person Central Character
(Advantages:)
Effect of first person narraction with no danger of vainity or egoism.
Allows reader to draw own conclusions regarding other characters.
(Disadvantages:)
May lack intimacy of first person narration.




when a guy is kinda always asking you who you like and then you ask him back and he says " i like three people" and only names two of them, and won't tell me the third. does that mean he likes you or does he just want to know who you like. (link)
It is more than likely you but I wouldn't date him if he also likes 2 other girls.


I don't know if my boyfriend is controlling. He wants to know where I am and who I'm with at all times. He says he loves me all the time and he wants to get married when I turn 18. I'm just about to turn 17. He wants all my time and he calls me a million times a day and expects me to spend all my free time with him. I don't think hes controlling, but I'm not sure. I love him though. How can I tell?? Is there any certain way?? Please help me figure this out. (link)
He isn't really controlling just obsessively shadowing. If he was controlling he would tell you things like he wouldn't want you hanging out with your guy friends, or that you shouldn't wear kinda skimpy clothes, or that he didn't want you doing certain things. He's just really really in love, maybe to a point of slight stalker, but not even that bad. But just tell him to tone it down a bit, not in a bitchy way like "Just give my space!" said in a really loud stern tone. But not jokingly either, just mildly say a remark about it.


I know how to start like just go up to someone but how do you keep it going..There are alot of awkward pauses and stuff can anyone help me
and im a guy (link)
Ask people open ended questions, like questions that can't be easily answered with yes or no. Put the focus on the person, pay attention to them when they talk, if there is an awkward pause don't glance around and say Soooo.... Ask another question or say something related to what you were saying earlier. Keep eye contact, it keeps people more interested.

I swear im depressed, i cry alot like everynight, i feel like shit and want to die sometimes...
okay well i was fine until i met sammie, then we were goin out and i really loved her and then we broke up and all and i got crushed, ever since i have no been the same... like now 2 months later(this past sat) she tells me she likes me alot but doesnt want a bf right now, and like now im crying harder cuz now tomorrow is my birthday and i want to hang out with her so so so so bad on sat. and for like the past two days after she told me how she felt she been ignoring me and when i call her she says shes in a bad mood and doesnt wanna talk to me... well i asked her to hang out with me on sat. and she said oh idk i might hangout with chris(her best friend but i thikn more) i swear if i lose her im killing myself, i know ill do it, shes everything to me... i cant lose her... (link)
I don't remember where I heard this but there is this study that an average guy will fall in love 3 times before they are 25. This is just a little speed bumb. Honestly if it took 2 months without you for this girl to realize what she had then that is too long. You two can still be friends but you should probably move on and find another girl, if this Sammie girl doesn't realize what she was missing then you need to find one who does. No one is worth dying over. If this girl won't come to your birthday and that she would rather hang out with this Chris lad then personally I say leave her.

I really want a boyfriend.
And its not like you can go buy one from the store ahaha, but I'm always meeting new people.
I dont know, just how did some of you guys find your boyfriends?

any tips..? (link)
Of course be yourself and be confident. Be flirty but not to a point that you're just being slutty because then guys will just see you as a little whore and will never respect. You have to also entice them while holding them back at the same time. Make sure you go for guys who are around your age too.


hey! ok I have this boy at my school that I go out with and there is this other boy at my school that I really like and he likes me.. but I dont have the heart to tell my boyfriend that I like somone else! and I want my boyfriend to break up with me. so please help me! (link)
Well you can take two approaches, you can tell your boy friend that you'd rather be with someone else.
But if you don't think you could do that then you could do the (kinda bitchy) way and cheat on him with the other boy and make sure you get caught so then your boy friend will break up with you.
So you can either have him heart broken or hate you.


ok so i have this friend and she is really fun to hang out with but she lies way to much and i cant talk to her about it cause i know that will ruin our friendship see she lies about things no one should lie about like haveing a tomber i dont really know how to spell that but anyways she also lies about her being pregnantshe has said she was pregnant but it was a miscarriage then she said she was pregnant again but she was going to have an abortion and she is only 15 she has done alot of bad things in her life that i'm not gonna mention because i'm not gonna rat her out but she lies about everything and i cant take it anymore i dont know what to do so please help me???? i'm really confused (link)
I would confront her about it. It won't ruin your friendship (unless this girl is a bitch), letting her go on and on and lie will. Eventually she will tell a lie that will ruin your friendship so it's better to talk to her about it.

is their a way i can hit higher notes? thanks (link)
I was taught to sing with my head voice. Which means you don't push out more with your chest and use your chest voice(better for altos), this helped me alot to reach higher notes. I know it's not very detailed but just think about the name and try it out.


okay. i'm looking for some new bands out there. i really like emo screamo kind of stuff. but i can go into a little metal, and some rock is okay. but its mostly emocore bands like Silverstein and such.

got any good bands i might be interested in? (link)
Oh well if you are looking for a little screamo then The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus has a little screamo. The color of violence is another band that has more screamo though. On the last day is another that is a combination of screamo and emo-ish. The band A thorn for every heart is emo but I don't know if they have any screamo. Atreyu has some screamo. I believe Senses Fail has some screamo. And off the top of my head that's all I can think of. >.
