Ok, i'm going to attempt to make an ear hoodie. This is the hoodie i'm planning to get:
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028529&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442167060&bmUID=1206119744682
and these are the ear i'm going to get:

Now, if I like cut some slite in the hood and put the ears inside the slit would that work out? If not, could someone explain an easy way to do it? Thanks! (link)

I'm not sure I'd cut holes. I think that you should sew tabs onto the ears, and attach the tabs to the top of the hoodie. You could also pin the ears in, and use black thread to attach the ears at an angle. You can also use upholstering/sewing adhesive in the process.
Did this help at all?
Have fun making it! Sounds adorable.

There's a lot of birds in the spring/summer time in my neighborhood and one of them is one that i think is so relaxing to listen to. However I don't know the name. The sounds goes like "Tee Bee" pause "Tee Bee" pause etc. etc. etc. The first note (the "tee") is higher than the other note (the "bee"). I live in minnesota if that helps (link)

If it helps, this sounds like a type of hummingbird. Look toward the sound. If you see any distinct shape, size, markings, etc., you should repost a question, or you should call the Audubon Bird Society.
God bless to a fellow lover of creatures.

I know someone who said that they don't really "cut" but they use anything they find that's kind of sharp and scratch their skin until it's just kind of raw... but they don't make themselves bleed, they get to the point right before they would bleed. They said they feel depressed but don't tell people that because they want to make everyone happy... and they just like having the marks on them and keeping it a secret. (link)

This is self-mutilation. Just because they aren't the stereotypical "cutter", they still have a problem and they need help. If this is a friend of yours, please talk to them about this problem. Some people do like the thrill of a secret, but this is a bad, dark one that can lead on for too long and get worse. It won't become better until they stop. Trying to make others happy is pointless if you aren't happy. Your energy is drained, and you drain the energy out of those around you. Eventually, they are going to see through your fake smiles, and notice things, small details, that indicate your secrecy. Please help this person. Please.
Pray for them. Tell their parents. Something to help. God bless you for caring so much.

Okay, so lately, i've been kind of boerd...with life. its like nothing is exciting anymore. i kind of just do the same thing over and over and over again. i wake up go to school come home, do homework watch t.v or go ojn the computer. i just don't know what else to do. i guess i could join clubs and stuff but i don't really know. is this normal? what things should i do to become less boerd? i don't really hang out with friends that much, because the thing is i don't have that many. its just like they're ALWAYS busy. i'm not that smart so if i turn to school as a way to become less boerd, it won't work. but i don't know..please answer and don't answer if you don't know!

I hate it when life seems repetitive and pointless. Believe me, it's NOT! Until Summer comes around, you may feel this mild depressed feeling, but hang in there!
Try taking up a hobby, outside, an active one. Excercising produces a happiness hormone in your brain, seratonin, which will also help with boredom with life. I'd reccomend reaching out to find new friends and trying new things with them, such as soccer, or tree-climbing.
Tell your parents how you feel, and maybe they'll take you shopping, or airsofting, or hiking, whatever you may have for means of enjoyment.
If you don't feel smart, then your mind will put up a block. It is proven that the more you tell yourself something, the more it becomes reality. That is not to say that you are going to become mindless because you feel un-intelligent, but it will mildy affect you. Get a tutor, if you need help! School is not supposed to be somewhere you turn to for free time, because you need balance, in your life, so, like I said, pick up an outdoor sport or something!
Eating healthier can also raise energy and make you more happy, and watching television may tempt you to reach for that bag of old potato chips. Just try something new, and change up your routine!
God bless you,

I really do need to have any help from anybody willing to answer, anything will do.
A few years ago, i left my old school to go onto Secondary school. Now, at my old school, i had lots of friends and i was really, really happy and nothing was wrong. But when i changed schools, my social life just...collapsed. I've just been finding myself on my own and I guess it was from that point onwards that i began to talk to myself, creating realties in my head and situations and i would act them out (literally), speaking to people who weren't there and i would respond when they replied or asked or even spoke. I'd only recently began to notice this and it's scared me, i mean really. I don't know how to stop and try and erase this 'world' which has formed in my head. It only happened when i am alone.
What's even worse is that i've forgotten how to socilise with my peers and I've wanted to sit with them at luch time and dinner (I board at school), but i can't.
So basically, my question is: how can i get my life back together and have the social life i used to have? (link)

Sometimes, one will go through the actions of doing something, while not really doing it. Or, watch themselves in a movie. This sounds similar.
Recently, I took an online phsycological screening test, and this appeared as part of the result, diagnosed as a "dissasocative disorder", called depersonalization. It doesn't mean that you have it, but I'd reccommend talking to someone.
This could also be a coping mechanism that the interactive part of your brain is using to create friends for you that maybe, even if it isn't your fault, you haven't made on your own.
I'd reccomend looking for friendly people, and the headphone idea is a good one, too.
Everyone has a little social anxiety, so just, kind of, put yourself out there, and take a risk as if you have nothing to lose.
Pray, too.
God bless,

How do you tell someone, such as a motherly figure (not really your mother), like a really good adult friend, how takes things very seriously, that you might be depressed, and you cut, and you want to well...commit suicide...
I don't want her to tell my parents, and freak out! So how would you go about telling someone that kinda of information? like through a letter, and how would you being it up? (link)

This is a hard one. What I do know, however, is that you will break the vicious circle of repetitions in this behavior if you just tell her. Now, for how to do so...
Just get her in person, and tell her that you're dealing with something serious, and that you trust her. Start off clearly that you don't want your parents to know, yet. Ask her if she will try to help you, first. I'd recommend, first, to tell her about the thoughts behind it, so that, when she does see your injuries, or in this case, hear about them, she is now in the phsyche to be prepared. If she is incredibly far away, a letter would be valid. Otherwise, I'd just let it out in person, so that she can see how serious you are about having her help you. Then, I'd immediately call a hotline of some sort, or look in the phone book for diagnosis/counseling for depression. It IS a phsycological disorder. Don't blame yourself.
If you're afraid that she will freak out, call her first, and ask her, if you were to send her a letter revealing something very serious about you, what her reaction may be, and if you could trust her.
There are plenty of scar medications out there, too.
The best helper in this kind of thing is God. I don't know if you know Him, but I'll tell you one thing, his love his enough to stop any compulsion or destructive behavior, and bring you back with grace.

I like this the boy who a 8th grader we talk and I just want to know how to make him like me and flirting ideas I can do to him he opens doors for me and stuff like and he know I like him.
HELP PLEASE I REALLY LIKE HIM PLEASE HELP ANY ADVISE WILL HELP IM A FEMALE AND I'M A 7TH GRADER (link)

This is just a one year age difference. Often, it would seem better, considering that females are often more mentally mature than males their age. Just talk to him like a friend...no need to be unnatural by flirting. Just be yourself and talk about both of your interests. Sure, you can give him small hints like smiling at him, and after you are really good friends, just keep calling him (not at an annoying rate) and talking to him about anything that you might be dealing with. Most likely, this will give this boy the hint that you trust him and feel very close to him.
Start with that for now.

This sounds like depression. If you don't want to start off by telling your parents, you should tell your school counselor, or an older friend. They can help you. These aren't things that can often be recovered from without some sort of intervention. I know how serious these kinds of things can be, and I've known many-a-person dealing with these problems. What you need to understand is that you are not in the fault. Your brain is not producing enough seratonin if you are depressed. I also think that you should know that having someone else know makes you less ashamed and less likely to injure yourself or become sad and helpless-feeling. I know that it is always hard to tell someone something like this for the first time, but when they know, despite the tears of relief, you will be much happier. Trust me.
The ice cubes and rubber band things on here are clever ideas, but that is still injuring yourself. If you can bring yourself to, just chew a whole bunch of gum, instead, or punch something that isn't breakable.
To recovery, and,
God bless you,
-BB
