im geting a camera. i need some help picking one out. i heard the canon is pretty good. any other suggestions? + links. thanks. (link)
| |
when i got my camera, i shopped around A LOT. because i really like photography. if you're just getting a camera for like vacations and a night with friens, canon powershot is really good for the price. Sony cybershot is also really good but kind of fragile. Kodak easyshare is good if you can keep your hand steady.

Okay so since the summer I've been losing weight. Before the summer I was 150 pounds. And now I'm 155 pounds except..I'm skinnier than I was before the summer, a lot skinnier. Maybe like 10 pounds. And now I'm 5 pounds more? :-/
Anyways. So since I got back from vacation I've been going to the gym 4-5 times a week. I go on the elliptical for 45 minutes every single time. Then I do 200 crunches and a few weight machines on my arms and legs. I eat healthy too and drink a lot of water. But honestly you'd think I would've lost at least 10 pounds but it really doesn't look that way. I can't get rid of my stomach, and I want a flat, hard stomach. But not abs. These 200 crunches don't do anything for me anymore. Everyone says I do so much, but it's not doing much for me. Any tips on getting a flat stomach and getting rid of love handles? Any good foods to help lose weight?? Please help. I plan on losing 20 pounds before summer rolls around. (link)
|
Well first of all, you probably just gained a lot of muscle with the elliptical. Muscle weighs more than fat.
If you want to target your abs, don't do floor crunches! It's true that they don't do anything. There are specially designed crunches in magazines and online, EVERYWHERE! That help more. But there's a youtube channel you could try...here's the link.

I'm not able to go to clubs for a year & a bit, but I'm curious - what is it like to go clubbing? What do you do? Do you bring/carry a purse? How much does a typical night (cover & drinks) cost? How late do people usually stay? Do you have to carry your ID with you the whole night (ie, in a purse)? I want to be prepared once I can finally go, so thanks for the insight, haha! (link)
| |
Yeah, I think you should wear jeans and put everything in your pocket. That way, you don't have to hold anything while dancing. And usually the clubs are packed so people will be touching you every which way and it's best to keep your valuables near where you can feel if anything happens to them. Oh and wear comfortable clothes. (Yeah, there are under 18 clubs that are decent) Go with a LOT of friends to keep everything safe and look out for them! You never know.

me and my boyfriend have been going out for just about 2 years (nearly there, in 2 months) but my dad always says, "it'll never last". We are both smart students, even though we're young, and we want to go to top universities in a years time (he is 17 and I am 16 - theres a 9 month gap and we are both in the same year at school). The thing is, its been almost two years and I feel its trivial for my dad to keep on saying this and so stubbornly denying that we could ever last. I don't feel like I'll ever break up with him (now I know that is what everyone says but I really have no desire to be with other guys, or experiment, or anything) we have both a great time with eachother as friends, help eachother out all the time, have the fair few petty arguments and also a great sex life (its legal from 16 here in the UK guys, so no lectures). Everyone says that 'love' at this stage in life, however, is not Love at all. I want to know a) if anyone here has been able to last since their teen years (I want to know if its possible! My parents never had a happy marriage and that scares me into thinking I'll always be as discontented with my relationships as they both were) and also b) if a long distance relationship (but seeing eachother at regular intervals) has ever, ever worked.
Thanks :) (link)
|
a) I know a couple who has a kid now and they were high school sweethearts. So yeah, it can definitely work.
b) I tried a long-distance relationship once. It didn't work. But that wasn't because of the distance, I was groing apart with him before that.
I don't think these type of relationships work but who knows?

What are some stores that are similar to Nine West? Like that have bags, shoes, jewlery (that kind of stuff) and thatis like average priced...bags that cost about 100$ etc.
Thanks so much!! (link)
|
Aldo is a REALLY good store for that stuff. The bags cost UNDER 100 bucks.
There's also Steve Madden but i'm not sure how much their bags cost...the shoes are around 40 or 50. Depends.

I am redecorating my room for my 16th but im unsure of what i want. I want my room to be everything about me. Pictures everywhere, posters everywhere, inspirational things on the wall, scrapbooks on display, things like that. My room is small but i could fit everything in. The walls are white, and im going to leave it like that. Does everyone have any other ideas that i could add in my room to make it unique and different? Thanks! (link)
| |
Oh man I'm sixteen and i ALWAYS love to do stuff to my room. I'm kind of an interior designer. Anyway, I just had this idea. Get a bunch of cardboard (from boxes, anything!) and write block (swirly, stylish whatever) letter of inspirational words (hope, dream, inspire, create, believe, love, etc.) and color them with permanent marker (bright colors to POP on your white wall) and hang/stick them on different parts of your walls. Then all those inspirational pictures/posters/pictures and things, CLASSIFY them! Like say you have a picture of a ballerina cause you like to dance, you can put that under a DANCE or DREAM. Put your stuff around the words so that it looks organized but totally about you!

I am turning 16 in 2 months, and i still haven't decided what i am going to do!
Here are my concerns:
1) I don't want to have a huge party at a party hall or anything, because it is too much work for everyone, too many people i can't leave out, and most importantly, too much money.
2) I can't have a party in my house because it is way too small.
3)If i have it at a restaurant, it will be too expensive, and EVERYONE has their parties there.
I am inviting around 30-35 people. Ive tried to go lower then that but i cant leave out certain people. I am willing to spend some money, not over the top though. I dont know what to do, can somebody PLEASE help me. Tell me about what YOU did for your sweet sixteens! :) (link)
| |
Well for my sweet sixteen i rented a yacht for a night (400 bucks) and it was smallish so i only invited 40 people. Which was perfect for me. But i'm sure it's out of your budgest because the total was like...800 dollars. I think you could have a themed party to distract people from where it is. Like masquerade or murder mystery. If it's murder mystery, it'd have to be in your house. You could have it at a public park that is really big. That way, you can decorate it anyway you want (they have pavillions you can rent at most parks) and people can roam wherever they want. It's really low cost. Have it at night, bring tiki torches and decorate it! (other themes: hawaiian, celebrities (make your friends dress up, walk on a red carpet you can buy into the pavillion) fuuuun

today i went to get my hair cut.
i had side bangs.
and i told the women to TRIM them.
butt she ended up cutting me bangs straight across my forhead above my eyebrows.
i was crying for about twoo hours because i couldnt beleive it.
so heres my question :
how long does it take horse shampoo [main n' tails) to make your hair grow about an inch?
please&&thankyou. (link)
| |
well i don't use horse shampoo, but i use regular shampoo...the kind that doesn't have any special growing thing. i cut my bangs (side) too short JUST last monday. I clipped them up that day and the day after but by wednesday they were long enough to be to my liking! (which was like 1/2 an inch) so i'm guessing you wait 4 to 5 days :)

so this guy asked me out like 2 months ago but i kindly said no because i didnt know him.i mean it was the first time i really talked to him ya know?
then i didnt seem him till about 2 weeks ago.he was flirting with me and stuff.well then when i walked by him he was like so whats up?and then when i replied he asked if i like him and i said well i dont know you really.so then he was like what you dont know me now?and i was like i never really got to know you but he didnt seem upset about it because he still flirted.well then i saw him last night and he was with some girl i believe was his girlfriend.and it kinda made me jealous i guess.it kinda made me think what if i really missed out ya know?now i dont know what i should do.i felt like i liked him last night when before i didnt feel it but between 2 weeks ago and last night i was thinkin like next time i see him if he asks me out again i was gonna say yes well know i feel im too late.am i just feeling this because he does have a girl now or what?i mean the only reason i turned him down was because i didnt know him all the well,he wasnt what i would date(appearence wise) and my friends opinion but when i thought about it he is a really great guy besides i never really see him but i was thinknin that would change if we dated ya knw?well i wanna thank you all before hand (link)
| |
I think you were right to decline him in the beginning. And i see that you weren't interested the second time, but that was crucial. Because being rejected twice is a blow to a guy's ego and clearly means you don't like him. I think you just liked the idea of having him as an option? You know? And then you see him in a new light. But it doesn't really mean you like him. I know what you're feeling, it's happened to me a million times. But trust me, it's not for real. It'll go away really quickly and you'll be happy you didn't waste your time because you guys were probably going to go nowhere if sparks didn't fly in the beginning.

Let's just say that my ex-girlfriend has done plenty of evil things to me, including messing with my current love life, and attempting to get me banned from places for "stalking" even though they were my hangouts before I met her, and such.
And at the moment, an opportunity to get back at her without consequence has arisen. Keep in mind, it's nothing illegal or life-threatening, more like a really really elaborate prank.
Some of my friends think I'm within my rights to play said prank, while others think that I should just not do it.
The problem is, I don't think the woman is going to back the hell off me unless I do something.
So, should I do the deed, or just try and tolerate the bulls**t? (link)
| |
Well clearly she isn't over you (i'm guessing YOU ended it?) I think playing a prank on her will just hurt her more (even if she is psycho) and won't solve anything, but just give you the satisfaction. Talk to her. Don't start out with "i can see you're still hung up on me" Just say something like you don't appreciate her messing up your life just because she wants to get back at you because she's just stooping lower than you. Tell her you didn't mean to hurt her or treat her liked a tissue (use once and throw away) or whatever she feels you did. But also make it clear you don't mean to sever all ties. You can still talk and such. Maybe she'd like that. I dunno.

me and this guy went out about 2 months ago and we broke up. well a week later we got back together and we're going out now..whenever we talk he tells me he loves me and stuff like that...but at school he doesnt talk to me alot and doesnt sit with me and my friends at lunch. ive offered to sit with him and his friends but his friends always fill up the table before i can sit down. the first time we went out he got a girlfriend the next day..which now makes me wonder if hes using me.
so i was just wondering if yall think hes using me or not and what do you think is going on because im like at a lost right now. thanks for any help. (link)
| |
He is most DEFINITELY not fully into you. He's either using you to brag to his friends or for some other reason. The fact that you're on and off is a big signal that he's not serious. And then the fact that he got another girl right after breaking up with you means he isn't into you. He could even be two-timing you! Split with him because you deserve better!
|
Haha, so ya. I've been really bad to myself for the past year and a half, I've gained quite a bit of weight. Just because no one has been hounding me, and my boyfriend thinks it's cute and likes it.
So anyway, I'm feeling a little dissatisfied with my body. I mean, I have a belly, and I never used to, I can't even do 5 push-ups xD.
I'm thinking I'd like to start off by losing ten pounds. Trouble is I have trouble with the whole 'diet' thing, I need a reasonable plan, otherwise I know I'll just not eat enough and be close to starving myself. How do you go about being healthy while losing weight? (link)
| |
Alright there's a multitude of things you can do. If you have the option to eat whenever you want during the day, you should opt for a 5 meal a day plan. In the morning, eat a good breakfast of scrambled egg whites (yolk is high in cholesterol) turkey bacon or other lean meat (protein) and a fruit like grapefruit that has fiber and carbs. And then have a snack of like peanut butter and ONE sliced pear/apple/etc. then for lunch you can have a grilled chicken breast sandwich but NOTHING else. Just the sandwich. then have another snack of like...cottage cheese and a fruit just to keep you going. For dinner two tortillas with little cheese and sour cream, diced vegetable and more grilled chicken would be good. If you don't have time for that you can always try to stick to LEAN PROTEIN (fish, chicken, turkey) stay AWAY from red meat like pork and beef. Then you try to always get the lowfat cheese/yogurt/sour cream/milk. Another key is to drink a LOT of water. You don't know HOW much that helps digestion. (oh and always remember your BIGGEST meal should be breakfast and smallest dinner because you don't really burn any calories after eating dinner) Now for exercise, the eating would be the first step so you lose fat all over your body. If you want to tone up, look in magazine for spot toning routines that would take 30 minutes a day 3 times a week tops. They're the best. HOPE THAT HELPED!

There are a lot of cakes and cookies that are eggless. You can find them at Krogers (in the organic section probably) One time i ate a chocolate chip cookie (my favorite) and it was DELICIOUS. My mom told me it was EGGLESS. I couldn't believe it! It was even better than some cookies that DO have egg! So yeah, you're not missing too much :)

okay so im (160) and 5'4
-but i am working on it------
anyway i got me period last january so ive had it 10 months so far. now my boobs are really small and they look really little comparts to my proportions so how can i make them look bigger or make them grow bigger? i mean am i done growing or are they gonna start growing? i need helpppp! (link)
| |
Hey. So when I was 14, I was also 5'4" but weighed around 120 or 115 pounds. You said you're working on it so that's probably why you're losing weight in your breasts. Don't worry, I moved up a whole cup size from my freshman year of high school to my sophomore year, i also grew half an inch (but i pretty much stopped then) you've still got plenty of time to be worrying about being proportionate. Ask me again when you're 18. :)

okay flirting is a way to tell someone they like that person right?
or do friends just play around and do that for fun?
my friend and i flirt like this.
she disagrees with what i say, and we go on saying no and yes. then whe i ignor her she pokes me.
we call each other names, push each other around.
she teases with me, when i try to get something from her she takes it away. she even leans on me whenever.ect
somethings i do with my friends like name calling and pushing.
but me and her do it all the time like little kids.
2nd question: do friends lean on each other just because or if they like them? (link)
| |
first ask yourself if this girl acts like this with a lot of other guys. if she's a natural flirt, this is nothing, you're just another guy. but if she doesn't...she either likes you (if she does like you, she ALSO talks to you seriously, not just plays around. like is she a close friend?) or not. if you and her aren't close, like you don't know a lot about her, then she doesn't like you like that.

okayy. so at lunch i was walking past the table of popular guys and some of them im KINDA freindly with and there like ohh max likes you and come and talk to him and i just kinda blow him off because there is no way that max likes me. i mean. hes not hott or anything but just were friends you know. so i walk to my table and what ever. and at gym "steve" who was there was like ohh max likes you and stuff and im like ohhh yeahh sure. and then i started bugging him about who he likes/liked. and then max comes over and is like ohh yeah dont believe them or anything. i was like i kno kno i believe you. and then he told me the reason they said that ( all the guys at the table) was that max was like to this kid kevin oh you like wendy (who like has friends and everything and isnt like a nerd but not like popular and not the PRETTIEST but yeah) and then so kevin was like oh you like (me) samantha. and then yeah. so like were they making fun of me? like i have friends okay. im not like friendless. and im friendly with some popular people you know. and like trust me im not UGLY. im actually sorta pretty. im not being like concited but i can be really pretty. =] haha. so yeah where they? i already told me friend (ryan whos like kinda popular) to go yall at keven =] ha. (link)
| |
my answer to this is, they are NOT making fun of you. This happens at my school like all the time. It's kind of confusing to picture the whole situation from your play-by-play but i got the idea. They're just joking with you. They probably think you're cute and want to tease their friend, Max, so they set him up with you. he COULD like you but he didn't tell his friends that. just ignore it until Max starts acting suspicious.

some people don't like it when i be myself...but they get all scared when i shut up thinking i'm sick or something. i don't know what to do- i don't like shutting up- i can't express what i think. i want to make me and other people happy. what do i do??? (link)
|
is this cheryl?
anyway, i think you should be yourself..but a less obnoxious form of yourself (not so open and a little less outgoing) you know what i mean? find a medium..it ALWAYS works..they'll see that you've changed.
of COURSE you don't like shutting up, but be conservative when you speak and dont say too much or talk it too far and cross the line..just relax and act appealing.
act around your friends like you would around a new person that you want to impress...i know that they say if you can't be yourself around your friends, then they aren't really your friends..but that isn't always true...
if this is cheryl::
CHERYL!! we told you that we like it better when you are like you because we feel comfortable and we don't want to you change..just cut back a LITTLE bit (i'm NOT being sarcastic) but we ALL love you no matter what
and don't go to debakey!!

my sis friends came over today, they watched some movie when they thought i was sleeping
(i was WIDE awake on the couch pretending to sleep) then they started to talk about all this stuff, not something i should have been hearing, NOT something i want to eavesdropp to give you an idea what i'm talking about. i can't leave the room, cause they'll know i've listening to them talk. so i can't move. what do i do when this happens?
(TRUE STORY) (link)
|
you have to stick it out..you did the correct thing..but just make sure that you dont MEDDLE..after your sister's friends are gone, you should tell her that you overheard what she was saying, BUT not intentionally and then beg for mercy!
lol
but you really should do that, it works for me. but then again my sister is unusually nice..
