I'm a 15-year-old aspiring journalist. I'm also really into singing, acting, debating, musical theatre and playing the piano. I was raised an Orthodox Jew, but I consider myself somewhat of a Deist (belief in God as a distant figure who isn't involved in personal life). I learn from my mistakes and give advice based on what life has taught me and general knowledge.

Is there anything else on the market that plays music, video, and has Wi-Fi (other than the iPod touch)? (link)
plenty, but the interface isn't as clean.


Well, I weigh 126 lbs right now, and I want to just trim down in the tummy area a little bit, so my ideal weight would be at 122 lbs or so. I read that to lose weight that you should change your eating to healthy choices, but I already eat a reasonably healthy diet; no doughnuts or pastries, I hate salad dressing, I eat a lot of fruit, etc. So you see I don't know what else I can do. What are some regular exercises I could do just to lose 4 or 5 lbs? And preferably quickly. Thanks! (link)
Stop eating white flour. Only eat low-carb foods, which actually excludes a fair amount of fruits. See the Glycemic Index website for more details.


16/f

so i gave my neighbor's cousin who goes to a local public school (i go to private school) head over the summer...basically, biggest mistake of my life and it was my first time giving head. so i think he's telling people and i know for sure that 2 girls in my grade who hate me know about it....everyone's going to think i'm a slut if it spreads. what should i do for damage control? (link)
my private school's a jewish private school...people hook up, but the scene is very...different from a normal high school.


Where can I find a knit sweater coat like this?

http://i8.tinypic.com/6ahx2dl.jpg

not exact thing

but something cheap preferably with small buttons.

I don't know where to find any. I **dont** want those fancy, chic, in style expensive things. Something cute, you know? (link)
i saw something just like that at lord & taylor yesterday. also check h&m.


what are some social science courses i can take in university and where will it lead me? like what jobs are there...please be specific and only answer if you know your stuff thanks..i just have a ton of pressure and i wanna get things right thanks again (link)
you can't really major in social sciences unless you want to get a law degree. you definitely have to get some kind of masters or a teaching degree if you want to major in social sciences. some classes that you can take are poli. sci, international relations, and economics, for example.


over the weekend i was working and i had coffee with a lot of sugar and a large soda within an hour. then i ate some candy and some ice cream. suddenly i got really light headed and naucious and started to shake uncontrollably. i was like this for an hour and then i was ok, still a little light headed. then an hour later i started shaking again and i finally fell asleep. today i woke up and i was fine but an hour later i started getting naucious again. all i ate for lunch was water and sunchips. i couldn't even smell anything sugary without getting sick. what's wrong with me because i hate being like this. it happens everytime i have a lot of sugar. (link)
eat protein when you're hungry and avoid carbs, esp sugar. also, try to avoid caffeine b/c i think that explains the shakiness. i know i get terrible headaches and lighteheadedness/shakiness when i go through caffeine withdrawal. hope that helped.


my step mom broke up and moved out of our house about 8 months ago. The split was really sad and rough for everyone in my family, but especially her. We didn't get along great when she lived with us, but now i try to see her every few weeks and we get along well. The thing is, she has lost A LOT of weight. She used to be average, but maybe a little chubby but she went on the south beach diet and stuff. I'm pretty skinny for someone my age (15) and she is skinnier than me! I'm really worried. When I'm around her she eats plenty, like icecream and fries and stuff, but why would she be so much skinnier than she was before the divorce? I don't see how she could be anorexic or anything, cuz she's like 50, but i don't know what to do. I feel really awkward talking to her about it, cuz i'm like the kid, it should be the other way around and it's not my responsibility to be the parent. But still, what should i do??? (link)
old people can still be anorexic, but it sounds like she's eating. could she be bulimic? you might wang to talk to her.


I would like to eat more healthier and well i dont know what to buy when i go to the grocery store with my mom, like other then bananas and apples and grapes. What are some specific healthy things to get, fat free things maybe?,things big in fiber?. I just need a list of things,be specific dont just say cereal or fruits and veggies, say the kind of fruit or whatever.

Please and thanks. =]] (link)
High fiber foods are great. Also a lot of fruits and vegetables. Try a few soy products too. White meat (chicken, capon, and turkey) is very healthy.


today i was working out at the gym...i had done some weights and i got onto the tredmil to run and i started to walk at a brisk pace and the left side of my chest felt like it siezed up and i dont know if it was a muscle twitich but it looked like i could see my heart on the side of my chest and it as beating like crazy and i felt like i was going to pass out and my let arm went numb and my hand cramped up...i rested for quite a bit ,sat down and then had some water and went outside and got some air....it i am still feeling kind of faint and my hand is still cramping and my chest feels like if i breath to hard or in to much ( like a deep breath) it will do this again?? any ideas what this could be?/ (link)
i think you should go see a cardiologist. that sounds like a heart attack, and it couldn't have been because you're still alive, but still, check it out.


ok i have this guy friend who broke up with my his girlfriend, she broke up with him in myspace message and he loves her LIKE REALLY REALLY WHOLE LOT and and i really feel sorry for him and i dont know what to say to him does anyone know how to cheer my guy friend who is like my brother? they went out for like 6 months and he sacrificed a lot for her and i feel really bad and does anyone know what to say? not like youll find someone else or something thanky you (link)
this is a hard one....i was in a similar situation a while ago, except the girl was one of my best friends. say that she's not worth it. someone who does that to someone who cares so much about her is a total bitch.


once you answered one of my questions and sasid that good female kissers follow the guys what does that mean like what do you mean by folowing? (link)
basically, you sort of do what the guy does. the guy's supposed to be the dominant one. so if he starts to put his tongue really deep in your mouth, you follow suit. you don't copy him, but you follow what he's doing.


how can you tell if a guy likes you ..? (link)
they treat you differently.
they always stare at you (and there's nothing on your face).
they joke around about what would happen if you guys were a couple.


okay so my boyfriend and i have been going out for about 2 weeks..and we're going to the movies on friday and he told my friend he wants to kiss me but i dont know how to kiss...and im rly nervous...help!! (link)
just follow what he does. you'll be fine.


As of Today, I'm becoming a vegetarian. So far its been good. The only problem I will probably is the fact that I've been so used to eating chicken and turkey. Everyday at Lunch, I would normally eat a wrap with Turkey in it. and then sometimes I would get a healthy choice or lean cousine, and that would ALWAYS have some sort of meat in it. wither its meat sauce, chicken, etc.
What kind of foods can I eat instead of what i normally eat? What foods have enough protein? I'm also trying to loose weight, if that helps. but its not the reason i'm becoming vegetarian.
Oh, I'm 16/f. if that helps.

Sorry if that was long. and Thank you in advance. (link)
Tofu works. Tofu's great. Get tofurkey.


hi im just wondering if theres anyways that will make a hicky go away faster. i usually dont have this problem cuz my boyfriend never does it but he did it once by accident usually he just kisses it lightly. anyway thats not the point. just wanted to know thanks:) (link)
Cocoa butter should work. Or maybe that's stretch marks...


why is it that when a girl has sex with a few guys she known as a whore but a guy can have sex with like 50 different girls and not even be thought as a whore but to other guys a hero? (link)
It's called the double standard. It dates back to biblical times when women could only marry one man so all would know who the father of her baby was (pre-DNA tests).


will my hair get severly damaged if i only straighten it 3 times a week, every week for about 30 days? and are there any special shampoos and conditioners that will heal the damage, i already use pantene pro-v heat protecting spray and Sunsilk Anti Poof shampoo and conditioner. thank you! (link)
1. Use deep conditioner at least twice a week.
2. If you have curly hair (and I mean really curly), don't rinse out your conditioner.


I finally came-to last night. Like, I had doubted for a long time, but last night I woke up and realized and fully believe in God now. I accepted Jesus into my heart. And, this morning, since like EARLY it has been raining HARD and thundering and lightening bad. Could this have anything to do with my experience last night? (link)
Hate to break it to you, but that's a coincidence. Congratulations on finding God though!


If you already tried out for american idol and made it far into the competition but didn't win, can you try out again? (link)
Depends on how far. I have a sheet that gives me the things, but it's not on me right now. Some years it's top 12, some years it's top 30.


what does this mean..
Did she actually give him head

(link)
Did she actually give him a blow job
