About christina?



I'm Christina. I'm 19. I blog, I give advice, I Facebook, and I communicate. I'm extremely nice, but I can be a bitch if people push my buttons. I was born & raised in New York, but have been living in Los Angeles for the past year. I have a boyfriend of almost 2 years & we live together. I have 5 nephews & 1 niece. I'm really family oriented. I'm extremely close with my mom & my brother, & I definitely consider myself to be a daddy's girl. I just started a new job, so that's really taking up a lot of my time. I love laughing & having fun, and I love being with my friends. I'm a home body with a party girl side. I'm a huge fashion fanatic & I plan to be a psychology major when I go to college. I've been on this site for 6 years, and I've experienced a lot, so feel free to ask me anything! My advice is always straight-forward. I can be a little mean sometimes, but I'm only a bitch because I care! :)

Sorry i just picked a random category but i had to ask you a question about your answer to someone elses question: You answered a question about being grounded and your answer was very illogical. You said the person could watch tv, movies, go on the computer, or have a friend over...how is that being grounded? just saying cuz when im grounded those are all the things i cant do...what do you think?

First, can you link me to that question? Because I really don't remember saying that people can have friends over when punished.

Second, how is it not logical? Every parent is different. Not every parent takes things away from their kid when they punish them. Whenever my parents punished me, I still had my TV, my phone, etc. Just because your parents take things from you when you've misbehaved doesn't mean every parent has that type of logic when it comes to disciplining their children.

Sounds pretty logical to me.

I'm going to be seeing Black Veil Brides in concert next month. My friend and i are going to be in front. I heard that they're concerts get pretty intense. I just don't want to be in the mosh pits,i don't know what to wear, i know it's going to be super hot and stuffy. I was thinking a band tee with skinny jeans, but i'm not so sure it's right for the humidity i'll be experiencing. Please help me

Since it's going to be warm inside the venue, and possibly outside since it's summer now, just wear a tank top and a pair of shorts with some sneakers or something. You should try and stay away from jeans when going to concerts unless it's winter-time.

If you're going to be in the front, you'll probably be pushed up against the barricade if people start pits, so just keep that in mind.

ok i need a job and i want to know some websites that will help me find a job in my area. can anyone help?

Definitely check out snagajob.com

You make a profile, put your info down, and then put in your zip code. It searches your zip code to tell you which places are hiring, and for what position. :) It also tells you how close it is to your house. :)

It's very helpful. I've applied to lots of jobs through that site.

Out of curiosity...

Are there any females or males who would get mad if their significant other were playing online games (like W.o.W. or S.U.N.)and flirting with people on it? What would you do? How would you handle it? Etc. Thanks!

For me, personally, it would probably upset me, yeah. I trust my boyfriend completely, but it would hurt me to know he was flirting with someone behind my back.

If I found out, I would definitely talk to him about it and let him know that it upset me, and I would try and talk out the issue.

I am 13 and a 7th grade girl. I have never gone out with a guy. There is this guy that I really like and I know that he likes me too because my friend asked him if he liked me and he said yes. He is always really sweet and I love to talk to him. I also like to talk to his friends. The only problem is that my friends think he is a nerd. He sort of is though but I'm ok with that because I'm pretty smart too.(straight A's) The only problem is my friends or other people will probably make fun of me for going out with someone in the "Nerd Herd". What should I do?

Ignore your friends. You can date whoever you want. They don't have to be around him, they don't have to kiss him or hold his hand, and they don't have to talk to him. They are not the one dating him, you are so your opinion is the only one that matters.

Be with whoever you wanna be with, and ignore your friends comments. The only time they need to step in-between you and somebody you're dating is if your significant other is abusive towards you and is a threat.

This guy sounds like he wouldn't hurt a fly. Go out with him. You like him, he's a sweetheart, and you enjoy his company. Do what makes you happy sweetie. Ignore those who try to bring you down.

OK...I was reading on the internet and somebody said there use to be repair shops for appliances like toasters. Is that true? If so, what else did people take to shops for repair? When was this? The only repair shops I know of are like computer repair or cars. What else do people repair?

Lots of things can be repaired - clothes, shoes, electronics, etc.

There are businesses like this all over the country but you never hear of them because they're unpopular. They do exist though.

Does anyone know where I can find a cheap digital camera? I want to buy my mom one for her birthday but I have limited
money (100) and she doesn't need anything fancy.

I saw a really nice camera at Target yesterday that was only $89.99. It was decently priced, small/compact and cute. :)

Check out their site, or even check out Wal*Mart. Try looking at Best Buy too and ask around.

I have an Ipod touch 2.2.1 version. I want to Jailbreak it so I can get apps. does anyone know how I can do it?

If you have an iPod touch, it should be able to download apps normally. There should be no reason to jailbreak it.

18/f
lately my motivation to do anything has gone down. i have alot of confidence in myself and i think i'm a great person, but i don't pick the best friends.

basically my friends are all about themselves. they don't give a shit about me, they say they do, but they don't because i know when someone actually cares about me because they SHOW me. i always have to ask people to hangout and they're never there for me when i need someone to talk to and they are just all about themselves and i'm tired of it.


i usually have a boyfriend. i was dating a guy for 2 years in high school then we broke up and shortly after i was with another guy for like 5 more months(i liked them both, i didn't date just to date). so most of my high school years i was wish a boyfriend and he made me happy. now i honestly have no one to lean on. i have to do everything on my own. i use my looks to get boyfriends so i have someone to help me get through but there is literally no guys in my school :/ idk what to do anymore i have a long summer ahead of me..

If I were you, I would take the summer to gain a fresh start.

Concentrate on yourself instead of friends and relationships. You said that you have to do everything on your own, so take the summer as a chance to get used to the changes going on around you.

You're 18, so you're probably going to college sometime soon so that's also a great time to start over. Make some new friends, meet a new, cute guy at college, etc. Join clubs, try new things.

Re-invent yourself. Summer is the perfect time to start over. But also enjoy your summer. Go to the beach, an amusement park, hang out with family, go shopping, etc. Do some fun things for yourself and find out you are without a bunch of people around.

You don't always need someone around to lean on. Lean on yourself sometimes. You are always going to be your own best friend.

Compared to getting a tattoo, what is the cost of a cover up tattoo? I have a hatchetman tattoo and i am looking to get it covered with a rose or something... and the lyrics "life is ours, we live it our way...nothing else matters"
the tattoo is about 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.
black outline, colored in red.

We are not tattoo artists so we cannot give you a quote on a cover-up. You would need to call up a few tattoo parlors in your area and ask them. They might want to come in and check out your current tattoo so that they can give you something accurate.

Depending on the artist, it could be pricey and it could be cheap. But you definitely need to call them and get a price.

Anyways, I know you say that the song means a lot to you, but ICP once meant a lot to you - so much that you got the hatchetman tattooed on you, and now you want to cover it up so who's to say this won't happen with this lyric? Either way, it's your decision but try to take that into account.

I want a tattoo. I want it to mean something. I've been through a lot of things in life and all my friends think I'm a very emotionally strong person. I dnt want any stars, hearts, or flowers. I don't want it to be that visible because of work. I'm a female by the way. Thanks in advance :)

Is there by any chance a quote that is important to you that has really helped you get through your obstacles? I think that would be the best thing to get. You just have to think of what has really spoken to you - whether it be a bible verse or a quote from someone you admire.

As for placement, the best places to get a tattoo you want to cover with clothing are your back, your hip, your ribs, your shoulders, etc. If you usually wear your hair down at your job, you can get it on the back of your neck because the hair will hide it.

i've been seeing this other guy for about a month, but we've only hung out once, which was yesterday. most of our "relationship" has been through text and facebook.

my boyfriend was neglecting me and i needed affection, which this other guy offered to me. i thought i could do it without feeling bad about it. but after hanging out with him yesterday, i realized i cant. all we did was kiss and stuff but it felt wrong, the whole time. i went home and felt shitty as hell. i couldnt sleep last night, which, if you know me that's really odd. usually i'm tired all the time. i was tired last night i just couldnt sleep, i was wracked to the roof with guilt.

my only problems now are leaving the other guy and coming clean to my boyfriend. i've NEVER been a good dumper, i've always been dumped.

someone please help me, i don't want to do this anymore and i don't want to lose my boyfriend. how do i dump the other guy? thanks for any help. (and please refrain from calling me a heartless whore or whatever else you can come up with. i'm plenty aware, i just need advice.)

I think you just need to say that you realized that what you were doing with him wasn't enjoyable. Then end it. Delete his number, delete & block him on Facebook and go on about your life.

As for telling your boyfriend, sit him down. Tell him that what you're about to say is hard to tell someone and hard to be told. Then just tell him. Apologize to him, let him know that you've learned your lesson and that you won't do it again.

I have to tell you though that he probably isn't going to stick around. Nobody likes to be cheated on, and nobody in their right mind would stay with someone who can't be faithful.

As for the future relationships you go into, remember that if you're unhappy with the relationship, don't cheat. Just break it off.

whats the point of soap? its scrubbing hands together that is important, isnt it?

The point of soap is to kill germs and keep them from spreading.

There's millions of bacteria all over your body. You could rub your legs together or your arms together and not shower, but you'd still be dirty. Soap helps kill them off and it keeps you from getting sick. There's a lot of disease in the world and soap helps to prevent it.

You should always wash your hands. It's gross not to.

14/f

Yesterday, I went to this street festival where their was live music in Chicago. I was dancing and talking to this cute guy who looked 16-17. Later on we started grinding and just having fun. When I had to leave I kissed him and he gave me his number. We were texting and I decided to ask him his age. Turns out he's 21! So I lied and said I was 17 (I've been told I could pass for 17). He says he wants to see me again but I don't think that will happen since I was just in the city for the weekend. It was all in good fun but I feel kind of weird now.. I know we won't be like a thing and probably won't ever see each other again.

I know it's illegal since I'm a minor but what would you do if you were in my situation. I honestly though he was 16 or 17 but found out too late he was 21.

This is why you should always ask someone their age ahead of time - so that you avoid making stupid decisions like this.

Anyways, delete his number & don't contact him again. You don't live there anyways, and you won't see him again so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Be more careful next time though.

whats the best/easiest brand of tampons to use?
i have a hard time using them lol

thanks!
xo

I use Tampax Pearl. They were the first ones I ever used, and I still use them to this day. They have a plastic applicator, and they're really comfortable. :)

They're a little pricey, but totally worth it.

ok..so does anyone know what looks absolutely cute with shorts but not all girly girl and prissy (no tank tops still in school)...

Polos, logo tee shirts..

You can wear a tank top, just wear a cardigan sweater over it and roll the sleeves of the cardigan up.

Okay, I want to be safe, U am only 13, and I don't really want to sign up on a website that I have to take surveys and I get paid. I don't mind if it pays very little, I don't mind if it is cleaning floors type of job. I need help finding a job that is not online.

You're not going to find a job. Nobody is going to hire a 13 year old. Have you not learned about child labor laws yet? You're a child and that's why nobody is going to employ me.

Babysitting is your best bet. Cut the grass or something. It's summer. Hell, have a lemonade stand.

As a girl, can I use an electric razor to shave my "personal area"?

Yeah. I don't use one, but they do sell them for women so it's available for all uses.

alright my friends are way to over protective.
i like to hang with guys thats just me. even with my bf its hard to even hug.
like seriously they need to learn its my choices and who i hang with
what should i do

You need to sit them down and talk to them. They're not going to stop their behavior if you don't talk to them about it.

Tell them that you appreciate the fact that they care so much about you that they want to protect you from getting hurt, but sometimes their protection can be too much and that you feel like you can't breathe or do anything because they'll be there to look down on it.

Tell them that sometimes too much protection can keep you from making valuable mistakes and that it can keep you from learning things for yourself. It's nice to be protected and cared about, but if it's holding you back from doing the things you really want to do, then you need to speak up.

what is the nicest way to breakup with someone?
he lives nearly an hour away and he cant drive so his house or my house or go somewhere or over the phone orr? and what all could i say?
i still care about him i dont want to hurt him but i cant stay with him its horrible

Since you guys cannot meet up somewhere and break up face to face, the next best thing would be over the phone.

Call him up and tell him that while this is very hard for you to do, it's necessary. Just say that you still care about him, but the distance is too much and that you think that you would both be better off as friends. If he doesn't want to be friends right now, that's fine with you, and that you guys can be friends when he's ready. Tell him you're sorry, and then hang up.

To be honest though, as much as you don't want to hurt him, chances are that he'll still be hurt even just a little. Breaking up is hard to do, and it definitely hurts. Usually the only time it doesn't hurt is when it's mutual.
