I'm 17, and live in New York. Ask me stuff!
advice
ok i like this guy i have liked him for a really long time and sometimes it seems like he might like me too and others it seems like he doesnt..well my friend kinda likes him and she doesnt know i still do and he might like her but im not sure..how do i get him to like me
Well, I'm not really sure how you can get someone to like you, but when you're with him, just be yourself, so that he can like you for you. You should probably be honest with this guy, and find out if he really does like you.
Also, you might want to talk to your friend about your feelings for the guy, because you wouldn't want to ruin your friendship over a guy.
YANKEES?
or
Red Sox
???
Make the right choice...
Yankees! I'm from New York, what can i say?
I am a fast runner you see and I got asked to run this thing called the turkeytrot, but Iave to run in front of the whole school. I am araid of getting lastplace should I still run?
If your are a fast runner and you like running, go for it! I'm sure you won't fisish last. If you make it you're goal to do well, then you will.
I'm a runner too, and in one race, I was supposed to finish last. I ended up winning! So if you stick with it, you'll do fine.
Should I dust my room when I can see cobwebs all over...well..everything?
I would suggesst that you clean your room, ASAP.
Please note that this comes from one of the laziest people ever, who would rather endure chinese water torture than clean her room.
There is this girl in my class and she is always mean to me but she says I'm her friend (sometimes she's nice). She also has a crush on the guy I have a crush on! I know that sounds childish, but, they're always flirting and if she gets him to be her boyfriend then this stupid, creepy, guy will start hanging around me and I totally hate him! Sorry if I'm wasting your time but I would really like to know what to do. What should I do?
Well, this girl sounds like a total jerk. Maybe you should talk to the guy you like. Get to know him, let him get to know you, this way he can see how cool you are, and then he won't want to be the mean girl's boyfriend.
But if they do go out, why would you then have to hang out with the guy you hate? If you really don't want to hang out, don't. I don't see why two people starting to go out would cause you to spend time with someone you hate.
I'm a girl, and I kinda like to bake stuff, because hey, it means I get desert. My question is this: I work with all guys. If I bake cookies or something and bring them into work, are the guys going to stop feeling like I'm "one of them" and start seeing me as this betty crocker homemaker type? We're all pretty laid back now, on the same level and everything, I don't want it to get weird.
I don't think that baking cookies should affect the relationships that you have with those guys. It's not like your gonna start acting different around them right? if you like baking than bake away. Your co-workers will probably just wonder why you didn't make them cookies before!
I'm a volleyball player - does anyone know good excercises to work on my jump?
Ok, I'm not sure if you'd have the time or money for this but:
I used to go to this place with two of my friend that was basically like a personal trainer. One of the exercises that we had to do, that helped with things like jumping, was on this contraption called a Vertimax. You basically stand on this board with a harness and two bungee cords are attached to you. You then have to get in to an athletic position (feet shoulder width apart, knees bent, etc) and jump up. We usually did sets of 15. It really did help a lot, but it might be difficult to do this on your own.
what do i do if i by all the clothing i think is really cool...but when i were 'em at school they dont look so cool.....
Well, if you think they are cool, then just wear them. Are you buying clothes then getting to school and comparing these clothes to what everyone else is wearing? If you are, don't. Wear whatever you you like!
Either that, or someone is stealing your cool clothes when you sleep and exchanging them for less cool clothes.
Will I survive the hebrew school sleepover this weekend?
The all knowing SparklyStar says that yes you will survive!
Everybody in my school has already had like 10 boy/girl friends... I've had none. Thats right... zip, zero, zilch! They all say how great it is to be hooked up, and they always have someone to dance with at activity nite. I have nobody!
Sincerely,
BoyCrazy
Don't listen to them! I'm a 16-year-old junior in high school, and I haven't even had a boyfriend yet! I'm sure having a boyfriend is great and all, but your over all happiness shouldn't depend on boys. Don't try and rush into things and go out with some random boy for a week just to say that you've had a boyfriend. Just be patient. I'm sure that at some point you'll have a boyfriend, and maybe you'll think, "I don't see what the big deal is." Because whether or not you have a boyfriend shouldn't be a big deal.
I'm surrounded by idiots. My chemistry teacher has to spend whole classes explaining concepts over and over. How do I deal with people who are thick as a brick when I just want to get a good grade in chem?
Is there anyway you could get switched into maybe and honors chem class?
A similar situation happened to me last year when I took bio. I was supposed to be in honors bio, but due to scheduling conflicts I had to stay in regular bio, and my class had some pretty dumb people. I know it sucks, but just do the best that you can, and if you need to, go get a chemistry reveiw book and do some studying on your own. That's what got me through bio and got me a 95 on the Regents exam(NY state tests). And good luck with chem, I'm taking it now too.
I like to go jogging in the park a lot, but I've heard from some people that it's really tough on my joints, especially knees. My knees and ankles are sore after I run, but I can't think of a better activity to do for my heart, you know what I mean? Is running really so bad? Am I going to crumble into nothing someday, or can I just drink lots of milk and be fine?
Well, drinking milk will help somewhat. You should also plan on taking vitamins, like calcium pills. Make sure you stretch well before you run as well as when you are done running. Make sure you have the proper running sneakers, and try to run on pavement as little as possible.
You also need to keep in mind your running abilities. When you first start out, it's best if you do less at a slower pace. As time goes on, you will be able to both go faster and farther. Do not do more then your body can handle.
If after you run you feel pain, stretch out the area that hurts very well, and ice it. If the pain continues to get worse each time you run, take a couple of days off. And if you feel particulary severe pain, you might want to see a doctor.
why does god hate me?
Well, I'm sure that God doesn't hate you. Maybe you're just experiencing some bad things in your life right now. I've been raised a Catholic, and I was always taught that God loves everyone no matter what. I mean, I'm sure we've all felt like this at some point in our lives, but every cloud has a silver lining right? I don't know what religion you are, but I think things will get better for you. God loves you!
Why aren't you married yet?
I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm 16. And I don't even have a boyfriend. And I have plans to go to college, get a good job, and then maybe get married.
What should i sell?
Lemonade. People love lemonade stands.
Really, it depends on what market you're aiming for and what you are interested in. Just pick something you like, and good luck!
If you babysit four little kids by yourself for three hours, around how much should you be getting paid?
I'd say about $30-ish is a reasonable price, that's $10 an hour, if anyone isn't good at math. If this is your first time babysitting for this particular, make sure you specify what you are charging in the beginning. If you have already been babysitting these kids for a while, then it might be a bit awkward asking for a raise now.
Is it better to dance and look really stupid or not dance at all? Should I try taking danceing lessons?
Dance and look stupid! I can't dance at all, yet I have so much fun with my friends at dances and those kinds of things. If you are afraid of looking stupid when you dance, surround yourself with some close friends who will laugh with you, not at you. They'll probably dance stupid too. It's just more fund to pretend to know how to dance. :)
I have been going out with this boy on and off since january 11th 2003 and we have broken up 5 times .Each time I dumped him but we always got back together within like a week. At first he was obssessed with me but somehow it all changed and i became obssessed with him . Recently he has been changing and ignoring me and finally he dumped me for the first time and really hurt me because I felt like I was madly in love with him and would marry him. I thought he felt the same way but he said that lately it felt like I was more of a friend to him then a girlfriend. Now during our whole relationship he has also on and off liked his first girlfriend and went out with her for two days before dumping her one time when we had broken up. So after Iam starting to kinda get over him and thinking of the good things of why were over (like no more heartbreaks) he calls me up and says hes completley over his first girlfriend and hints he wants to go back out with me but im not sure i should i mean i still like him but will i just be going back to the old heartbreak ? Our relationship has been down hill ever since he realized he still liked his old girlfriend. To make matters worse my best friend said she wont be my friend anymore if we get back together because my boyfriend said he is just going to keep dumping me for his 1st girlfreind and then getting back together with me and she can't stand seeing me hurt.To get back together or not? What is your advice?
Don't get back with him. You two have already broken up several times, and one of those times, he broke up with you for some other girl. And like you said, you were starting to get over him. You can get on with out him, and didn't he also say that you were more like a friend to him? Just tell him that you're no longer interested. I'm sure that if you give it time, he'll get over you, you'll totally get over him, and maybe the two of you can still be friends.
my favorite question of all time:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all he could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuckwood!
