18/F I had a friend agree to come to my house and give me a voice lesson. I offered to pay her and she said she'd be over. She didn't show up on time nor did she call me back after I left her a message. I'll admit, she's not a very reliable person, but how do I let her know I'm not okay with this. Usually when a friend backs out of plans with me, I'll say : "it's okay, no worries..." because it truthfully doesn't bother me that much, but it doesn't mean I want people to treat me like this. So basically, how should I respond when someone doesn't make me a priority? (link)

I have the same problem all the time. I think the phrase "no worries" comes out of my mouth more than anything else. Confrontation is always wicked awkward for me so I tend to phrase it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm blaming the other person. You could say something like "I noticed you were late and didn't return my phone call, so if you're too busy to give me lessons don't worry about it. I completely understand." On the other hand, if you don't feel awkward letting her know that you're not happy with her(which is probably best)then I guess my answer won't really be much help.

oka well i dont know where to start i guess i can kinda say my life so far been kinda not right. I dont wanna sound all you kno what but things just havent been right. You see lately ive been kinds depress you kno, and like there are alot of things thats on my mind. And like my friends they be in their own little world. Like you see i have these 3 close friends 2 of them are in my grade in one and a lower grade so i dont really see her at school that much. But ones that i do see i dont really talk to them about my probelms anymore, its like they so busy with eachother im just an outsider. And when i do try to talk to them just about lil stuff they act like they dont care. Like if i talk about a tv show i saw last night they be like gurl i dont care about that show i dont even watch it no more or somtin like that. But when they talk about a tv show they be all about it u kno. And my other friend i can really talk to her about my life exactly she be too busy talkin about hers. Like this boy, i mean every 24/7 thats all she talks about and im getting fed up with it. So tell me if im souding crazyy or somtin. I just feel like i have no one to talk to personalty. (link)

You don't sound crazy at all! I used to feel the same way about my relationship with my best friends and sometimes I still do. I don't know your personality, but I'm very shy and quiet so I guess you could say I don't really demand my friend's attention. Also, people are naturally selfish, so your friends may have just not stopped to realize that they are making you feel alienated. Sometime when you're alone with one of your friends(if it's just the two of you, they're less likely to feel attacked and try to save face in front of the other)try talking to them about how their attitude towards you makes you feel. Like I said, they may have just not realized it. If talking to them doesn't seem to make any difference, you might try seeing a counselor(after all, they have to pay attention to you. you're paying them for it!)Seeing one helped me a lot more than I thought it would. Journaling seemed to help me a lot too, and I don't know your religious beliefs, but what helped me the most was talking to God. He desperately wants a relationship with you and he always cares about everything you tell him.

i think i might be anemic. i havent consulted a doctor, but my parents never let me go alone, so i couldnt anyways.
im 16/f and im always tired! i get plenty of sleep at night. 7-10 hours 6/7 nights a week. my dad says its because im going to bed too late and getting up too late. but he makes me go to bed before midnight and get up before 9:00 am. so that couldnt be the problem.
whenever i sit down too long i get up and feel lightheaded for a few seconds. sometimes i even black out and have to hold onto something. does that sound like anemia, or something else..?
but if it IS anemia, can someone tell me some foods that might have some iron in them so i can feel normal again? ive been so weak and everyone thinks im depressed but im just tired. :\ (link)
| |
I have those exact same problems and after plenty of blood tests and whatnot my doctor has ruled out anemia. They actually can't figure out what the problem is but they put me on medication to help give me energy. Fish oil is also supposed to help and you should be able to get it at any vitamin store(it sounds gross but it comes in pill capsules so you don't actually taste it). If you get cold easily or tend to faint any time your skin is cut or punctured then it may be anemia though. You should try getting some extra iron in your diet and after a while if that doesn't seem to help, tell your doctor everything you just posted and tell him that the iron didn't seem to help.

I'm looking for anyone that can tell me the name and artist of a song, based on the few lyrics and information I have. It's a "techno" song, and it's older (I download it back in 2002). Unfortunately, I no longer have the song info from when I downloaded it, and the CD I burned it to has finally played its last song :( Here are the lyrics I know (there aren't very many, it's just the same thing throughout the song):
"Hi gorgeous, I've missed you so much. I've had very naughty dreams about you. Are you ready to have some fun with me? Yes!" (then there's a part with a guy in the background singing "put your hands up in the air, put your hands up in the air...")
If you know anything about this song please message me. I haven't been able to get a legitimate answer through online searches, and I would really like to find it. Thanks for your help! (link)

I don't know that song but if you haven't already, you should try Letssingit.com. You enter the lyrics to search for the song.

Hi, can yo help me out?
i have a dog, grand size.
He's a sheppard mixed with a golden retriever.
we've had him for almost a month now.
latley i've notice he has been snapping his teeth out in the open for no apparent reason, as if he were snapping for flies, yet there is nothing there.
he's always doing it.
why do you think he does it?
think it's torets or something? (link)
| |
My dogs do that a lot when they have something stuck in their teeth or somewhere in their mouth that keeps them from being able to swallow it.

im 18/f. ok so im a good kid i was raised in a good family and so was my mom's side [i dont associate with my dad's really]. anyway so my mom is completely against tattoos. she says theyre tacky and blah blah blah. she's not crazy about piercings either but i've convinced her in to a few of those. but anyway i think tattoos and super intriguing and unique and i like them as long as they're not trashy looking you know? so i want to get a tattoo in memory of my grandmother on my foot. she died of cancer almost 5 years ago and it had a HUGE impact on me, and i want something to symbolize that. i've brought it up to my mom and she of course HATES the idea and gets kinda ill when i mention it. i planned on getting her a cross and cancer ribbon and drew it out for her to see and asked that if it was to symbolize my grandma and my faith and mean a lot to me why would it be so bad? she responded that if i want to symbolize my faith i can wear a cross necklace or something and that my grandma wouldn't want me to get a tattoo, regardless if it was in memory of her. but it would be special to me and having that tattoo would mean more to me than just wearing a necklace you know? not one ounce of my mom likes the idea. my question is, what would you do in this situation? that's the only tattoo i would get, and it wouldn't affect starting a career or anything cuz it'd be on my foot. i know that legally i can walk right out to a shop and get it, but on the other hand i'd feel kinda bad disrespecting my mom like that because we're really close, but it is something i want. how would you react? (link)
| |
If you really want it, I think you should get it. My first tattoo was also on my foot and though it's an easy place to hide, expect it to hurt. My dad's side of the family as well as quite a few people at my conservative university feel quite a bit like your mom but after they saw that I was going to do it anyway and I wasn't getting anything disrespectful or too extreme, they got pretty used to my tattoos. Before you get your tattoo you should talk to your mom one last time to say that you're not doing it to be disrespectful in any way but you just don't agree with her point of view on the matter and because you're not doing anything wrong, you don't think it's an issue to get a tattoo. She probably won't change her mind, but at least you will both know that you're not being disrespectful.

i brush my teeth every day and floss everyday too. but for some reason i feel like my breath smells terrible always. im always chewing gum and mints but after i finish with them my breath feels funky again. i dont know if its all in my head but i really do feel my mouth smelling and being dry. even if i dont chew gum or mints, like after i brush my teeth and then go to school, i always taste a really bad taste on my teeth. i know its definetly not from the toothpaste. midday it happens too if ive had a snack or even if i didnt.. i cant describe what it tastes like other than to say it tastes likes garbage. and when i drink my water from my waterbottle, i can taste the grossness i taste on my teeth. i really dont know what could be the problem. i honestly take really good care of my teeth and have exquisite hygene. i would never not take care of my mouth/body so thats why im so concerened about this problem. im also really nervous if someone kisses me if theyll also taste what i taste. what could be the cause of this awful taste/bad breath? has anyone else experienced this bad tasting teeth thing when they slide their tounge on their teeth? what are some solutions? PLEASEEEE HELP! (link)

For the past few months I've been ADDICTED to Listerine mouthwash. It's pretty intense but it leaves a really good taste in your mouth! If it burns too much for you, try diluting it with water. Also, make sure to brush your tongue really well. That makes a huge difference.

Hey there, im 16f.
Do you ever wonder why we were put on earth, what is your purpose in life and things like that? Well, im starting to think im wasting my life away. I live in a small town and I just want to get out in the world. I wish I could pursue what I want, but I don't think I can until I get my licence. My life is the shits, i have a family that treats me bad they don't understand me and wont listen to try to understand,I have no friends here, and no one truly cares about me. I don't want to hear anyone say there is people who care because you would think the same thing if you knew the people here and were in my position. I have good grades, an outgoing personality, and I am a caring person. But no one sees that, they look beyond me. I really just want to leave here and do something with my life. Do you really think I can get my licence and then pursue my dreams on my own? Is seventeen a decent age to try things on my own, to get out while I can and be who I am meant to be? I want to be somebody. Nobody treats me like im anything. (link)

You sound exactly like I did a few years ago. I wish I'd known back then that you can be the person you were created to be wherever you are. I recommend checking out the book The Purpose Driven Life to help you see how to do that. I agree with Kerry Jeanne about your education. It would be extremely difficult to really get by at 17 without an education. I definitely recommend going to an out of state(or at least one not too close to home) college after you graduate. You'll be in a whole new environment with tons of new people and oppurtunities.

I was petting my dog (a female shit zu) and her belly/chest has a bump on it about an inch or more wide and an inch up its squishy and she doest yepl when we touch it or push it but I'm worried!
What is it?! (link)
| |
My 13 year old scotish terrier has those too. Cancer usually isn't squishy so you probably don't have to worry about that. I'd show it to the vet at her next appointment or if your dog seems to show any symptoms such as pain, unusual slowness, low energy, or decreased appetite you should take her to the vet sooner.

hey
i like this guy who is 4 years older than me. he used to be my manager and we talked alot through text message and back when he was still my manager we were flirting alot and he said Rules are meant to be broken but you just cant get caught. he got moved to another store, and hes leaving in a couple of weeks to go there. for 2 weeks he was being cold to me, then i messaged him asking him to come to a party with me, and he said that he will try but wont be sure because he couldnt get a lift. i ended up getting him a lift, but he told me that he will call me when he is ready to go but i still went and when i got to his house he said that he will come later because he didnt want to ditch his friend. i understood completely because i would do the same thing with my best friend, but i was still a bit pissed off.
then i texted him after the party saying "Damn you missed out on alot tonight" and he was like "Were still young, nothing that i cant make up for another time i hope..are u working tonight?" and i said "Well you missed out alot :P"
then later i said "You have to make it up to me for ditching me.." and he said "Really? Well i have the weekend off if thats any help.." and i said "Yeah it helps .. so what you gonna do to make it up to me?" and he said "Im still working on it..i could use abit of help" then i said "Sorryy youre on your own for this one.."
i was thinking maybe i could message him saying "Are you interested in me at all..or am i just being a jerk..?"
i really want to know what is going through his head! any ideas ? (link)
| |
I wouldn't ask him that yet. Since you sent the last text, it's his turn now. He sounds like a lot of guys I know who have very flirty personalities and don't realize it. Since he is so much older, I definitely suggest waiting for him to make a move. If he really does like you he'll make sure he gets to spend time with you before he leaves.

when you need advice uaslly u get it from yourself but i dont know if i should get it from my heart or my mind my hearts telling me to stay but my minds telling me to go which one to follow (link)

feelings can often be misleading, but you're mind thinks what it does for a reason. listen to your mind.

my boyfriend just went to jail and is gonna be gone for 2 years..what are some sad songs that are about missing someone but also staying strong about it..country or r&b or anything is fine. thanks in advance (link)

Fields of Athenry by Dropkick Murphys would fit your situation pretty perfectly. If you're into country and r&b though, you probably won't care much for Dropkick Murphys.

im very close to getting a female boston terrior puppy. shes absolutely adorable and i've fallen in love with her already but i need names.
any ideas? (link)
|
my boston terrier is named Abigail(we call her Abby)...everyone has their own taste in names though, so that's not an easy topic for suggestions!
You should try using a baby names site(babynamesworld.com is my favorite). Look through the girls names and meanings and see if anything seems to fit your puppy's personality.

Maybe 6 months ago I enjoyed life. I changed schools, made loads of new friends, I was doing ok in school and I had enough free time.
Now, when I get home from school I basically have to start studying straight away, otherwise I won't have enough time for everything. The only thing I'm looking forward to is going to a festival at the end of June...and I can only go to that if I don't fail anything on my final report. When I'm in school, I tend to feel worthless...there was a guy who'd always be with me, and then one day, he told me he had a girlfriend and I felt torn apart. Now when I look at myself in the mirror I just see s*it.
Anything I could do to make myself feel better?
People tell me I'm pretty, funny and I have a great personality but I don't feel it.
I used to be so outgoing, funny and bright...what's happened to me?

I went through the same thing starting back around 7th grade. Once it got bad enough for others to notice and mention to my parents how worried they were becoming, my parents started taking me to a therapist/councelor/psychiatrist. Along with therapy, I started taking zoloft. There's no quick fix, but these things can help tremendously over time.
If you don't believe in God, this next part won't really be of any help I guess, but it wouldn't be right for me not to tell you. Conceling and medication can help, but only God can really heal. Constantly remind yourslef of how incredibly important and beautiful you are to him and how much he loves you. That's where you'll find your real worth.

sorry for the bad title i suck at them
how can i get my mom to stop smoking it drives me crazy with worry (link)
| |
Superstar... is totally right. The only thing you can really do about it is to talk to her and let her know exactly how you feel about her smoking and how worried you are about her. She has to be the one who wants to quit, but if/when she does decide to try, she'll need your support.

I've liked this kid since i was in 8th grade im in 11th grade now. Well back in 9th grade i started to talk to him ( hes 4 years older) i was so nervous i made up a name and everything cause i didnt think hed like me. well he found out who i actually was and was nice about it but then we stopped talking. but just recently he messaged me and weve been talking hes asked me out a couple times but i havent been able to hang out. well my parents are now out of town and i told him he should come over sometime and was like ok but didnt say anything else its been 4 days and i havent heard anything from him i imed him last night leaving a flirty message but he never answered me back should i give up on him or keep trying this guy means more to me then anyone i met before i gave up a trip to florida and a tom petty concert hoping hed come over this week but hasnt =( (link)
| |
I'm not going to say that you should completely "give up" on this guy, because I know that's easier said than done. However, I'd let him make the next move. You've mentioned him coming over and IMed him so now it's his turn to make an effort. Pursuing him too much could make you seem desperate and scare him away. Hope this helped. Good luck!
