i'm currently a freshman in my second semester of college and i have a problem staying awake in my classes, even if i get adequate hours of sleep the night before!
i've tried drinking coffee during class (despite the caffeine, has not worked for me), bringing munchies, having a water bottle, doodling on my notebook, and vice versa. basically anything to keep me busy and awake! all of my attempts have failed...any ideas? (link)
| |
Continue to think about nonsense and try to make sense of it. It keeps me awake. Of course, I usually do that in my free time too. This probably isn't very good advice...... sorry for taking up space.

I have a serious problem. I am a twenty one year old grown woman who can't make friends. I am happy with my husband to be and I love myself my dog and my family. I am a full time college student but I stay off campus. I just don't make friends easily. Never have. We just sort of fell into each other. I have no friends besides my fiancee. Can anyone suggest some hints or advice that can put in the direction of making some life long friends? (link)

I had that problem, then I discovered I had the ability to make people to smile. Sometimes, that's all people want, but I have to tell you, some of the frinds I have now only like me for my spunky attitude. I only have a small hand full of true friends and all the rest are like, "Hey, she can take this weight off my chest." I enjoy helping people, but afterward, they treat me the same as they had before. I believe I am... basically a loner, outcast. I am complex and outgoing and don't enjoy taking orders. Those are the best traits to have, but it makes people frustrated with how happy you are with yourself, and they just stay away. It's like I have a magnet in me that rejects everyone, and I'm fine with that. If you really need a friend, why not give it a try. I may only be a 14 year old girl, but I have had more experience than most think. Just email me, if you think there is a chance of a friendship in me. liveanotherday1070@yahoo.com
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Obviously didn't help that much, giving me a three and not saying anything. Truly sorry.

I have to do a speech and presentation in English on Tuesday. I am really nervous and hate looking at people, and if I look at my friends I just laugh. However, I can't get anything higher than a B if I don't have 'audience awareness' and I have to get all A's. So does anyone have any tips on how to be less nervous or how I can have more 'audience awareness' or even how to stop myself laughing at the funny parts of my presentation?
Thanks!! (link)

The best way to have a good presentation is to control yourself as much as possible. Just close your eyes and put as much feeling into your words as you can muster. When you do get to a funny part, pause and let the chuckle die down, then continue. It's amazing what you can do when you keep a clear head and remember what you're there to do. Let 'em know you aren't afraid to speak out.

I have this boyfriend and I need some serious advice. I love him do not get me wrong on what i am about to say. He is an alcoholic. It didn't bother me at first. He used to let me do what i wanted when i wanted and now it's like i have to beg and plead with him to do what i want to do. He expects me to be at his house as soon as i get off work. If i'm not he's mad and we fight. Not all the time but..the majority. He gives me a time to be home and i am . When i tell him a time he says he will do as he pleases.
sometimes he is real mean to me. I cry cause it hurts me. somdays it's like he doesn't want to be together anymore. So then i told him if you want me to leave i will leave. I will get my shit and never come back. Then he pleaded with me . he said no. I love you please don't leave. We play around and sometimes he plays to rough. It's like he doesn't care. I let him go to girls house or even be alone with a girl. But..if i do the same he accuses me of cheating.
He has only hitt me twice out of anger. I buy his cigs,his beer and any thing else he wants.Sometimes he calls me mean names and I've asked him not to. It feels somtimes like he wants hiss cake and he wants to eat it to. Please help me. I don't know what to do anymore. (link)

You need to tell him to back off and let you do your thing. If he doesn't seem to care about him, then don't baby him. Next time he hurts you IN ANY WAY leave, and do NOT come back, no matter how he pleads. It is a trick. He will only do it again. If he has been like this and doesn't seem to want to change, then you can't make him. The only way he can do it is on his own. If you really love him, you will let him do his own thing, and you do yours.

Do you know what a werewolf centaur is? If not then I will briefly explain. They are centaurs that have been bitten or scratched by a werewolf, blah blah blah. Anyways, it turns their bodies into wolf bodies instead of horse and makes their canine teeth pointed. They are then rejected by their clan and have to roam. Make a small segment from this?

How do I get my gf to think im "sweet" and really hang out with me alot? movies? talk on phone alot? what should i do?? I RATE REALLY HIGH!
=) (link)

Well.... are you? Just cuddle her and hold her hand. Let her know that you're there, a shoulder for her to cry on. It's not hard. I know the main things I like in a guy are his smile, his sense of humor, and his ability to make me feel cared about. If you show her that you know why you want to be with her, she will most likely accept you as not only a date, but possibly a friend as well.
Skittlez: Yes cuddle her, hold her hand, but also talk to her privately about how you feel. I know that if a guy trusts me enough to tell me how he feels then I would say that he is sweet, caring, and also a good friend. If you would please e-mail me at "all_4_him09@bellsouth.net".

how do you let a guy know that u like him, but now being to obvious but by giving him little hints so maybe he will ask you out? (link)
| |
I don't really care for dating, but I always flirt with everyone. It is really hard for others to figure out who I like. Just slip an anonymous note into his locker and see how he reacts. Then begin to talk with him, get to know him. If you already know him, then just watch for signs of him feeling the same for you.

I wasn't completley sure what category this goes under, so I took a guess. My dad always tells me not to pop/crack my knuckles. And he always yells at me when I do. Is there a certain reason why you shouldn't? I heard you can get arthritis from it, I heard that your fingers will get bigger, and I've also heard that nothing will happen. So like why shouldn't I be cracking my knuckles? Can it really do that much damage? (link)
| |
My mom is a nurse and says that can happen, btu I do it anyway. I think it just gets on people's nerves. It used to mine. I like being defiant, so next time he says that I would respond, "I gues I'll just haqve to take that chance." And continue to crack them. Besides, I have a short attention span and am easily bored. When I don't have pockets, I just stand there, basically strangling my fingers. I just can't stop. I also get frustrated when I don't have a pencil in my hand.

If I had a scanner, I would totally email you drawings. I am an artist and a tomboy, so basically know what you need. Just go to Walmart, or whatever, and look in the poster section, or draw your own on large paper( that's what I'm doing) and go have fun. Then get some cool lights, like a strobe light or black light. Glow-in-the-dark is pretty cool too. Then their is blacklight hairspry where you can right stuff on the wall and it shows up when up put the black light on it. I also like highlighters. It suprised me how vividly they showed after the light went out.

my boyfriend said something really mean to me about the way i look earlier today on the phone. i hung up on him and he keeps calling back and i wont answer. he left a message saying "if you ever stop being mad at me call me, ill understand if you dont though" i want to call him back...what should i say? (link)
| |
It depends on what he said, and if he truly sounded sad when he left the message. I'm not good with second chances, but if you really care about him (and he you) then you might should try and get back on good terms, if not still going out. A good friendship is always better than the annoying ring of a phone.

Im 15/f
Ive posted a question about my ex"friend" recently. (she was a "friend" at the time) She was judging all of my friends and always tagged along and was boring and couldnt continue a conversation. well, on wednesday at lunch time one of my friends gave me a note so i was walking and reading it, and then i hear footsteps next to me and someone dragging their feet, it was that "friend" and she was following me around again without talking..when she came up she didnt even say hi. *shrugs*.
Anyways yesterday we had the same class together and she now has made a new friend in that class (whos racist against me and is trash to be honest) So when she had someone else she pretened like i wasnt there and didnt try to talk to me (which is a good thing) so at lunchtime when she usually follows me around she now hangs out with her trashy racist new friend. After school like at night time she IMed me and said "can you do me a favor" so i made up an excuse and said i was busy.
Today i totally ignored her cause i have other people to hang out with because i always talk to random people cause im not shy. She on the other hand had noone so she hung out with a shy quiet girl that she always judged and said bad stuff about. I sit next to that girl in the class we have after lunch so she told me that my ex "friend" was talking about how she doesnt want to be my friend anymore. (which is SUCH a good thing, finally she got the point)
Anyways sorry this was wrong but i need advice on what to do from now on cause she and her racist friend are in my group in one of our classes. (link)

I can understand that. There is this boy in my class, who I loathe him completely. It is terrible. He is loud, stupid (which is a bad combination to begin with), and he says the dumbest(and ugiest things). He invaded my privacy and I still have not forgiven him. I just try to ignore him and yell at him when he gets too close. Just ignore her and do what you're suppose to do.

Ok this is a real question i really want to know why do most girls think all guys want is sex it drives me mental because i actually flipped out on someone who asked a question and said anyways dont all guys just want to get laid it drives me mental and i just want to know why they think this cause i know when i get a g/f i actually want a relationship. (link)

I understand what you mean, but at my school that is the main talk of gossip. I have heard things I will not speak of and have known people who would do anything for someone they "love", but it is no good. I cannot tell you why, but I guess they just get it from the crowd they hang out with. I do not like crowds, nor labels, but I do know that there are alot of guys out there like that.
Only from me,

Virginity (I shall start out as I have before) is a beautiful thing. You will want to give it to the person you marry. If this guy really loves you, and cares about you he will wait for you. If not... I am sorry to advise you to leave him. It is no good to do this even at the age (older than mine) of 16. Abstenence is easy to make, just promise yourself, and you future soul mate (where ever they may be) that you will wait for them. I hope you do not hate me for my blunt statements.
Yours truly,

ive been back and forth with my mom and dad. I seem to only cause problems. im 13 and im tired of hurting people in dec i tried to commit suicide by cutting 3 of my veins and i jumped off a 3 story building i hate putting people through misery so my next idea is to run away, but are there any other options, and i have tried talking i just did but its not workin so pleaze dont say talk to your mom cuz it aint happinin and no rude comments either (link)
|
I don't have a good connection with my mother either, but running away will not keep anyone from suffering. You have to accept that there will be trouble in life and you will be drawn to do such things, but never give up. I have come through pills and therapy and none of it helped. I have had people think I am truly evil and have had to ignore their dirty looks. I came through it all, and I know you can too. I depended on God and only one or two of my closetest friends. That was all that could be offered, but I didn't have to do it alone. I'm not trying to preach, I just want to help. If you live anywhere near the Pinson area, come to Agape Baptist Church on highway 79. Sunday School is from 9:45- 10:40; Sunday morning service is 10:45; Wednesday service is at 7:00 P.M.(I refer this one to all others). I am sorry if I seem desperate, but I don't like to see people in pain. It is my nature to try and cheer them up.... unless I am holding a grudge. But anyways, I just want to help in any way possible.
Smile and know God loves /you/,

I made a promise with one of my cusins I dont know if I can keep it you know ... the promise is to keep my virginity till I am married what should I do I love the guy I am with right now (link)
| |
Virginity is a beautiful thing. It is the most precious gift you could ever give to the one you marry. I know people who did not keep this gift for the one they are with now, and when they think about it I can see the hurt and loss in their eyes of not knowing what that first moment is like. I am proud to say I am not one of these people. I have chosen abstenence. I will happily marry a guy one day and give him the one thing I cherish most about my body. I hope you feel the same.

Ok, so i have this problem. I always dress in black or dark colors and i've been doin this all my life. Some of my friends are starting to get pissed that i'm always dark. they're embarrassed when we go out in public just because of me. They yelled at me but i just told them to piss off. this can become a problem. Should i just keep telling them to shut the hell up and put up with it or try to deal it out with them?
advice is nice...
i don't care if it sucks like hell, just give me advice... (link)
| |
If it bothers them that much then they can't really be your friends. I don't want to say this to hurt you, but I have had it happen to me. Just be yourself and don't let anyone get in your way. As long as you do the right thing, you shouldn't care what anyone thinks.
