I'm 16. I've never drank, done drugs, or done anything with a guy. I'm pretty okay with that because I do really well in school, have never gotten in trouble before, and still have alot of fun with my friends. I actually have a good time just reading a book or watching TV or whatever. Is that weird? I mean, I kind of hang out with a really straight-edged kind of group of people, and I don't really mind that. Am I the only one in high school who actually IS a good girl like that? Because sometimes I feel like everybody's out getting drunk at crazy parties while I'm at home reading a book. Haha. Hopefully good things come to those who wait and DON'T make stupid decisions in high school? I just don't want to look back at high school when I'm older and wish I did crazier stuff... What do you think?
Contrary to popular belief, not everybody gets drunk and make decisions in high school. The ones who do tend to be loud about it so everyone will know about the exploits they had the previous weekend, and the ones who don't make bad decisions are often overlooked. At my highschool, there are plenty of down to earth people who don't drink or smoke and probably never will. As someone who makes a lot of bad decisions myself, I envy those people; those who are able to have a lot of fun without the help of alcohol or marijuana
As for you when you're older, I'm pretty sure you won't look back at high school and think, "Damn, I really wish I went to that one party and got completely smashed."
If anything, I'd say you are smarter than your years.
You'll find that going to make late at night with a bunch of friends is just as exciting as getting drunk and rolling down a hill.

I'm not sure if I'm still sick or not so what temperatures will tell me that I'm not? my body temperature measurement goes by Farenheight.
The average is like what everyone else said, 98.6.
However, people differ from one another. Some people are in the 97 or even 96 range and others are bit higher.
If you were recently sick, I'd suggest you rest for a few days. However, if you feel perfectly fine and you have plenty of energy, unless if your body temperature is over 100.5, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

What can I do if my ex employer deducted IRS taxes however; did not pay the money to the IRS and now I am being bill for amount not paid?
Lawsuit
I'm assuming if you're employer did not pay the money to the IRS that he deducted from your paycheck, then he kept the money for himself, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Talk to your ex employer about the situation, find out what happened to the money that he deducted from your paycheck. If he is holding onto the money that was supposed to go in your paycheck, then you can probably sue him.

Okay, So im on the softball team & im a sophmore.
Ive NEVER played softball in my life.
& today was the first day of summer workout and today I realized that Im reallly out of shape.
I'm sore and everything on my body is killing me.
When my muscles ache, it causes me to get sick and run a veryy high temperature.
I dont want to quit the team already after one day. But I dont want to come home everyday and be sick.
Should I quit or suck it up?
someone please help me.
Whether you quit or not is completely up to you. if you don't enjoy the sport, don't really have any friends on the team, then I don't see the point of staying on the team.
However, if you really want to prove to yourself that you can do it, which you can, then I suppose staying on the team would be a good idea.
I can tell you that although how painful it may be, it is helping, not harming your body. The human body was meant to take an extreme amount of physical activity before giving out. All of the pain is just a mental problem you can easily overcome if you put your mind to it.
If you choose to stay on the team, here is some advice to help with the pain.
1. Stretch after practice. When you get home, if you watch TV or something, stretch whatever muscles may be sore and hold the stretch for 30 seconds. Your quads, calves, back, etc... are all good muscles to stretch. Do these stretches consistently after practice. This should relieve soreness the next day because it gets oxygen to your muscles.
2. Consume glutamine, which is an amino acid. You can get this through a whey protein shake, or just by eating protein rich foods such as meat. Also eat bananas if you can because they are rich in potassium which helps relieve soreness.
3. Generally, the third day is the hardest when it comes to doing intense physical activity for the first time or if you're out of shape. By hardest, I mean hardest physically. Chances are it will get harder mentally throughout the season.
4. Ice is also your friend. Make sure to ice any injuries you have. If your team has a phyysical trainer, I would talk to him or her about any injuries. Also, if you ever get light headed or get chest pains during exercise, STOP what you are doing.
5. As for the heat, there are some clothes that can help with that. I know underarmor has a type of shirt that allows heat to escape the body. If you're interested, just go to your local sports store and ask about it.
Best of luck to you.

so i was in the doctors office and i was reading this magazine called more or something like that
and it said what is it like: listed a bunch of random topics and one was to give birth to your own grandson. of course it really meant a womans daughter had lupus after 4 miscarriages so they planted the fertilized egg in her but this made me wonder.. could somebody get their own mother pregnant?
i would think you could but i wasnt really sure
I think what they mean is that they put the fertilized egg inside the persons grandmother.
Since the woman can't be pregnant because of her healthy, she can still have her egg fertilized by her husband, and then put inside the grandmother for her to carry.
Although it's possible, someone as old as a grandmother isn't your best choice for the birth mother. People who do do this tend to pick younger healthier people such as sisters.

Okay. Well I'm going to be a sophomore this year... I need to get straight A's... How hard was your sophomore year? What grades did you get? Any pointers?
It all depends on which high school you go to and which classes you are taking.
If you are taking 2+ AP's then expect it to be difficult. Also, do not procrastinate when it comes to studying for AP's, if you do, expect to go "crazy" around may. If you take any aps, try to get a copy of cliffnotes book for that AP class.
If you aren't taking any AP classes but you are taking honors classes, I would recommend that you just pay attention and study and don't procrastinate.
If your high school isn't that good of a highschool, I wouldn't worry too much about it. For example, my high school is considered one of the top 100 in the country, every year we send someone to Harvard, yale, Berkeley, etc... and I found my sophomore year pretty easy.
Also, you grow up a lot more during your sophomore year, expect to get a lot more respect and you'll probably meet a lot more interesting people.

Ive known this guy for like 2 years now. We've been best friends since we first met. Over the time i've fallen in love with him. He says he only loves me as a friend. But, sometimes he acts like he wants to be my boyfriend. Hes starting to confuse me. He'll do anything for me. Hes soo sweet. When I make him mad at me, he'll end up giving in because he hates not talking to me. He says it kills him.
How do I get over him? everytime it seems i do, he draws me back in. Even if i have a boyfriend!
he's making it obvious that he likes you. He only doesn't tell you directly because he's afraid you'll reject him.

my daughter married into a family that has babyed her from day one. she now has 3 children. she and kids live with inlaws. only time we hear from my daughter is when she wants something. the inlaws babysat these kids since they were born. now they are feeling like they are being taken advantage of. the mother inlaw and sister inlaw are giving my husband and i a hard time. they want us to babysit more. mind you we love the children but mother in law and sister inlaw do not have jobs. my husband and i have full time jobs 40+ hours a week. they want us to quit our jobs to babysit. we can't do that. we sometimes work weekends too.
they call us bad grandparents because we don't baby sit. when my children were growing up i didn't dare ask my parents to take the kids. i felt i had them so i should have them with me. only time my parents took the kids was when they asked for them, because they worked too. the mother in law told my daughter that she will do everything possible to keep those kids from my husband and i if something was to ever happen to my daughter and son in law. she is doing this because we don't babysit the kids. if we call off work to babysit we will lose our jobs. my daughter doesn't bring the kids over for a visit when we can see them. the only time we get to see the kids is if we babysit. so we don't get to see the kids because we have to make a living. is the mother inlaw right or am i right?
This sounds like a complicated situation. Since I don't know those people you were talking abut, I can't tell you what to say to them because it could lead to a disastrous effect.
I can tell you that the in laws you were talking about don't sound like they are exactly the best of people and you should not really care what they have to say about you being bad grandparents. Also talk to your daughter more about this situation. Try to explain to them your beliefs and what you do in your household.
Also, why should the grandparents be the ones always burdened with children? No offense to your daughter, but she sounds like she has some flaws to. Maybe it's time she grows up a bit and takes care of the children herself? Even if she does work, she can find a sitter or something. Or, could you possibly babysit the kids after work or call in for a sick day every now and then so you can babysit the kids?
From what it sounds like, you are doing nothing wrong. I hope you resolve this situation.

How long does it take to lose 3,500 calories, or 1 pound, by running?
the person who said 20-25 minutes is way, way wrong.
If you are talking about a pound in fat, then it will take a ridiculous amount of time. i believe running a mile(on land) burns around 500 calories. So you would have to run 7 miles to burn about 3,500 calories.
By treadmill, it should take even longer, you would probably have to run about twice as much on a treadmill to burn the same amount of calories.
If you are talking about a pound in water weight, you can do it in 15 minutes just by running while wearing a lot of thick, heavy clothing.

I want to be the type of girl that shops for designer stuff like Coach, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Channel, etc. I want to be able to do stuff like that but my parents aren't rich and im definitely not a spoiled brat. How can i do that... like i'm only 15 ill be 16 in feb. what kind of jobs can i get to be able to afford that?
Rate me as low as you like, but listen to what i have to say.
You sound like a nice girl, you could possibly even have a soul, which is really rare in girls who shop/wish to shop for designer stuff.
You say you're not a spoiled brat, and i can see that by the fact you're willing to work for the designer stuff. You don't need deisnger bags, clothes, sunglasses, shoes, etc...
They are a waste of money. You really don't need to show off what kind of designer stuff you have to other girls. If you're gonna get a job, save up for something real, like a car.
But if you really want to, I recommend you find a job wherever. It doesn't really matter where because you're a teen and you're gonna get paid minimum wage, regardless of where you work. If you work half time for this entire summer, you could probably get 2 or 3 coach bags towards the end of august.

Help me! My mom is too overprotective! She told me that I can't get a boyfriend until I'm OUT OF COLLEGE! How do I tell her that I would be WAY TOO OLD by the time I'm out of college to get a bf?
She's your mom, you live in her house, you have to listen to her.
Or so everyone says. Personally, I think your moms decision is pretty retarded. Talk to her about it. See what she's so worried about and why she's so overprotective. Once you are 18 though, she really has no right to tell you that you can't date.
But if she still goes on being unreasonable and it's hurting your social/relationship life, then I would go behind her back.

Hi there,
My cousins girlfriend is sniffing around my man, I don't think she's attractive at all, but she seems to think she is.
I'll try and add a picture in a bit
Also, what would be a good way to really humiliate her - just so she learns her lesson?
Get her really drunk and videotape her donig something stupid
Or you could fucking grow up and take care of the situation in a mature way. Something along the lines of "hey there, I've noticed you've been looking at my boyfriend lately, and i know he's good looking but i would really appreciate it if you could respect our privacy and stay away a little, thanks."
Or if you have to humilate her because you are a female, and females are naturally bitches, you could videotape her having sex with your cousin and post a video of it on the internet.

Ok well I have smoked weed before, actually on a regular basis. I have never tripped before [like on mushrooms, mescaline, etc.] I want to and i think i am going to soon. The reason i'm hesitant is because im kind of worried and i don't want to have a bad trip. What should I expect?
If you have inner emotional problems that you have never sorted out, expect a bad trip.
If you are a pessimistic person, expect a bad trip.
If you are the kind of person that worries too much, expect a bad trip.
I can tell you a few things though if you have a bad trip.
1. you're fine
2. just because you can't feel your heartbeat doesn't mean it's not there.
Oh yeah, and if you feel really hot, can't breathe, strong pain in your chest, that's when you should call an ambulance.
If you think you might have a bad trip, don't even do try to do it to begin with. Bad trips are fucking scary. I'd rather have 0 bad trips and 0 good trips than 1 bad trip and 10 good trips.
If you feel like you have to do it because you are a sheep easily influenced by peer pressure, just try to relax; don't think and go with the flow

hey. well, i'm 14/f. and this year i'm going to be going into high school. and i'm really scared about being around all of the older kids and stuff, but thats not what i'm most scared about. i'm scared about sex. this probably sounds really stupid to some ppl, but i don't care. i really want to wait until marraige, but there is so much pressure in high school, i don't want to do something i know i don't want to do. i mean, i don't even know if i'll have a boyfriend or anything, but if i do, i want him to be someone who won't pressure me. how can i have good judgement. please help. and any other good advice about high school will be much appreactiated. thanks a bunch!!!!
There's actually not that much pressure in high school. If you are getting pressure, you're probably hanging out with the wrong group of kids. If any guy pressures you to do something you don't want to do, tell him to fuck off or use your teeth.
It's very possible to through all of high school and not have sex, just ignore the horny guys, stay away from any parties the slutty girls invite you to, and it will also help if you stay sober.

Ok well my race, Vietnamese (I don't know if any other Asian race does this) does this thing when we're sick and I'm not sure if it’s supposed to be safe or not.
When we're really sick, we lay on our back and get someone else to put like lotion or something on our back and get this special spoon (Asians use to drink soup with) and scratch our backs really hard and stop when it's so red with like dots that looks like it's going to bleed.
I frankly don't think it works nor is it safe. Wouldn't scratching your back mean damaging your skin? But we're potion lotion on it so...
But it's red as if it's going to bleed. Doesn't sound good to me.
And if Caucasians see it, they'd think our husbands whipped us or something!
I asked my mom how in the world is it safe. Did the doctor suggest it to her? She says no but everyone of our race does it as a custom.
Now, just because everyone else does it doesn’t mean you have to do it, right?
I remember the one time I was sick and my dad did it for me cuz he said I had to and it hurt like HELL!
My mom says that if it hurts then it's working and makes you feel not tired anymore.. That doesn't even make sense. Of course it doesn't make you feel tired anymore, you're in pain!
What do you think of this? If you're a nurse and telling me this or you're advice is partially from a professional, please add that in.
Thank you.
Hmm
Europeans used to bleed themselves to make themselves feel better
Chinese people stick needles into their body to maek themselves feel better
When it comes to practices like these that involve some type of self mutilation, I think the practice works, only if the person believes the practice will work, and hence it will help him/her. Basically, it's the placebo effect. However, since you doubt it works, I don't think it will work for you.
Scratching your back until it's red sounds like ti will release endorphins though...and endorphins can help with pain.

Why do people always think that if your in a serious relationship then the guy loves the girl more then the girl loves the guy?
This is a bit off topic, but I can tell you that guys are more likely to go "insane" over a girl than girls are likely to go "insane" over guys. I'm not saying this to be sexist, but rather because, from a psychological point of view, when a male is committed to a girl, he is COMMITTED.

I'm going to see a counsellor for the first time in my life on Tuesday. I'm really nervous and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect.
Thanks
Be honest with them, they are professionals so if you end up lying to them, that could really screw up anything helpful they have to say to you. A counselor can only do so much if their patient is not honest.
I can tell you a lot of counselors/therapists/psychologists, etc... suck at their job
If you feel like your counselor is one of those who suck at their job or you feel like you can't connect with him or her, find a different counselor and keep doing so until you find one that you are comfortable with one of them.
