I know that tittle maybe confuseing..
Okay I am 23 years old, I am 4'11 and I have KLIPPEL-FEIL SYNDROME and hard of hearing. you look up that yahoo groups on KFS. I say that to show that i have a disbitie where I look like a kid.. I look like 14 or 16. i don't mind look like a kid and looking young. thing is that alot kids and my cousins they I am a kid and boss me around alot and don't repect me as much, becouse I am small and they almost big as i am. i am very nice and sometimes I let them and I don't stand up for my self to say no and explain that i am not kid I don't do kids stuff. I am adult doing adult stuff. I mean like I do loundery and clean and I babysit. plus I know my writing skill sound like a kid writing. and yet sometimes I do feel like I act like one and sometimes i think I shouldn't act like one show they repect me as who i am. i mean i don't mind playing games and stuff with them. it just where they don't take no for answer or my one cousin like pull on my arms. I don't know how to explain what i am trying to say. here a picture of me at www.myspace.com/flyinshinystar and I think it privite you just see the picture. i just want to know how to explain to them that i am in a adult hood and i know i be a kid once in a while have fun. but sometimes I have to my things not be push around and i know i am a push over i like fix that and i know how to explain my voice sometiems sound like i am talking thour my nose. i don't sound like urkle on family matter lol. maybe hm alittle like girl on zoey 101. girl don't know how do s sounds. it part of my hearing and my speech maybe. anyway hope somone explain for and I am sorry if this sound confusing. i know be few that know how i feel and i know some of you think it cool that you look like kid as adult. but I don't mind really just want some repect. (link)
I'm sorry they treat you like that, they obviously have a mean streak. Do not let them boss you around. Tell them something like "No, I'm not going to do that" next time they try to boss you around. If it gets too much, stop playing with them for a while.

I really hope I helped you, and best wishes with your entire situation!


my boyfriend always blows me off for everything, and were on a brake right now and i asked him if we could hang out tomorrow sine we havent in like a month and hes like yeah and then i asked him a fe wminutes latter if we really were going to hang out and hes like probably not, and then he said "im no cowboy ..
what does that mean the im no cowboy thing he wont tell me ? (link)
Hmm, maybe it means he isn't, like, a hero. You know those cowboys you watch in movies? They're strong, brave, and good. It might be his way of telling you he's not like that. Or maybe he doesn't mean anything by it and just thought it sounded cool? Those are just my guesses.

But he really shouldn't treat you like that. Don't waste your time on him. Act like you don't care about him, what he says or does, anything. Then he will realize you don't need him and he will probably try to come back to you! :)


okay, so i havent had my period since MARCH of this year.
and i ususally get them every other month for 10 days.
and its really heavy, then all of a sudden stops.
but i havent had it in so long, and every year i go on vacation and i get it there. wether i just had it or i havent had in a long time.
i dont know why.
but how can i have a light period.
or not have one at all for a week.
or shorten the cycle?
wihtout meds? (link)
I don't think there's any fast solution to this. The only way I could think of is going on the pill Seasonique. It gives you about 4 periods a year and they are lighter. I know you said without meds, but this would help you in the long run. Maybe you should look into it.


How long does weed stay in your body? I need to know because last time I smoked was a few weeks ago and I'm going for a job interview soon and I also have an upcoming physical. Also, what can you do to get it out of your sytem? Thanks :] (link)
Weed stays tucked away in your fat cells for weeks. I would suggest drinking TONS of water to clear out your system. I am sorry that's all I know but I hope I helped you! Good luck


ok so my best friends and i have been together since the 5th grade. but one time i made a mistake and sent a kinda rude e-mail to them. i apologized and we were friends again. but then they acted like they didn't want to be friends with me anymore. so i sent another e-mail asking what was going on and why they were leaving me out. my one friend responded, yelling at me, she told me that it was my fault and im becoming distant and im being moody. she didn't understand that im busy and im growing up as well. soo today i figured out that all three of them, got together and hung out behind my back and once again, she acted as if it was my fault. i don't know what to do? im not becoming distant or moody! im a woman, and im growing up. i don't know if they're right or if i should move on and make more friends besides them? what should i do? (link)
They're obviously really crappy friends. It is really childish of them to blame you for their problem. It seems like you've said everything you can say about your past mistakes. Also, good friends don't ditch you if your behavior changes, they become concerned and try to help. They are really uncaring. You should move on and make more friends in the meantime. No need to put yourself through that. And, if maybe they are good friends after all, they'll come back to you.


Okay, I really need help with this one. I've been dating my boyfriend now for two years. Lately, every time we walk around he's constantly staring at every girl that walks by. I had said something to him. (at this time we were currently on vacation in Atlantic City. So I said to him, If yu here trying to have a good time with me, then why are yu paying attention to so many others. He went off on me and starting calling me imature and stuff. Well I decided I'll just ignore it when he looks, I mean he has been with me and only me for two years. But the other day, we were at Giant and I was looking at this one dude. He saw me and kept saying I was staring at him and crap. He was laughin about it tryin to make it seem like he really didnt care, but i know he did. He was telling everyone about it. It was so pathetic. So what should I do about me looking and him looking. Don't say anything like yu two are too imature for a relationship, because we're not breaking up over something little like this, i love him way too much. Thank yu! (link)
I don't think you are being immature. No girl wants her boyfriend checking out every "hot chick" that walks by. I think your boyfriend is the immature one here. He can look at every girl he sees but you are not allowed to look at one guy? That's totally unfair. You need to talk to him and tell him how hurtful he is being to you. If he gets mad and won't understand, then obviously he is too selfish and immature, and he will need to work on that. I am not suggesting you guys break up. I think you should just work this out. Good luck :)


ok so a while back, i asked my boyfriend if he'd have sex with me and it kinda drew him back, and he didnt say anything. it kinda hurt, cuz im allergic to rejection. :(

anyways, he told me later that week that he wanted to try again so i know hes interested. but the thing is i dont really know how to get it started. i dont like any type of oral sex and the only foreplay ill try is being felt up. but i really hate my body. im not fat or anything, its just im FLAT. i have no bust and i hate taking my shirt off. so im just asking, like, how would that work in bed? and ALSO, what would i need to do to ask him? and how do i prepare myself? thanks! (link)
Girl, whatever you have this guy should be HAPPY that you let him see it. You are fine the way you are, I'm sure. Girls do not have to be a Double-D to be beautiful and desired. So, there souldn't even be a problem there! It'll work out with that, once you learn to love yourself. And if this guy doesn't like, he is shallow and not worthy of you.

To prepare yourself, it would be best to use some kind of lubricate. And feel sexy in your own skin. And make him wear a condom or something, and don't make him force you into something you don't want to do (like oral sex-you said you don't like that, you don't have to do it even if he asks). I hope I helped and good luck!


A boy named Hosea asked me to be his girlfriend. I don't like him, but to be nice I said O.K., I sent him a very harsh letter by e-mail, and now I feel guilty, Should I feel guilty? and Everybody says I am beautiful, but sometimes I don't seem to think so, sometimes I just think I'm fat but some people say I am the right size, a few say I am fatHow do I build my self confidence? My mom always blames things on me, if she's wrong she does'nt want to admit it. (link)
Yes, you should feel very guilty. Even if he was kinda a jerk to you, there's no need to be an even bigger one back. If he's a jerk, then be the better person. You should apologize for that. Also, saying yes to his question is leading him on. I know, it's really hard to say no to stuff like that! I know I hate doing that in fear of hurting people. But you have to say no very kindly and easily, with a smile :). End with a compliment, like "you're very sweet, and I am flattered that you asked", something like that.



Okayyy people. I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM I woke up today with like 5 or 6 zits on my face. It's horrible. My face hardly ever does this but I'm going on this trip thingy with my friends in TWO DAYS. I dunno how to get rid of these zits that fast do you?


THANKS A BUNDLE,
-meg

oh p.s. PLEASE don't tell me "it's what's on the inside that counts". THaNks (link)
I have something that works great:

Get a tube of toothpaste. NOT the gel kind, though. Before bed, apply some to cover all of your zits. Go to sleep with it on. When you wake up they should be much smaller!

There's this product called "Zapzyt". It is really amazing! Both of the things I suggested work great, trust me I've done them!

Good luck and have a fun trip!

I'm going to California in about 20 ish days. I don't wanna get my period on that time, because in June, I got it on June 22. And trip is around that week. I'm just thinking that my period would make me having a harder time going around & playing and stuffs. So can I eat something or do anything to make my period come earlier?

Thanks a bunch :) (link)
I heard taking aspirin would help.


I need help figuring out wut i want for a screen name on AIM
my name is liz im 15 and i want something rebillous fun cute and sexxy....i was thinking of toxickiss or baby girl so i would just like some more ideas...
i love singing and music im in a beauty pageant um...i dont really play sports anymore however i use to figure skate i love reading
please help
ps
something hot fun and sexxy but also rebelious (link)
Don't do baby girl. It's overused. Dont even think of doing something like "beautyqueen" overused and kinda cring-worthy. Hmm, its hard to think of something that is hot, cute fun, sexy and rebellious.

OOH! How about "sexyhatetheman"? Seriously, I think that one's kinda cool! In my opinion it involves all of them!


what are some things i could change during summer so when i go back to school people wont even notice me? (link)
I think you meant "even recognize me." why would you want people not to notice you lol? Well I would say get a haircut, dye it, curl it if its straight, straighten it if it curly. Also you could get a tan if you are pale, if not then there isn't much you can do with that! Color contacts, get your eyebrows waxed. Play around with makeup and find a good look for you. Uh, I'm not sure what else to say, you should add some details about yourself!


My mom and I have had issues for a long time and I dont think she understands it at all. Tonight she was talking to me with her sister and it just agravates me so much that they both jump down my throat when they don't understand me at all and still try to put their advice in. I would love to tell my mother everything, but it's just so hard. She thinks my "bad mood" is from a new high school Im at or hormones.

She drinks (not to the level of an alcholic, but I would perfer she drank less) and makes me promises but doesn't remember them the next day.
My brother is autistic and can function normally and many people wouldn't be able to tell he was challenged, but it's still been a struggle for her. I understand and I help, but it's put me on the back burner. If I have a problem, it seems petty and selfish compared to him. She's extra sensitive to him.
She suffers from a form of depression and hasn't told me about it. I found out by looking at her pill bottles. Two years ago before she was diagnosed she would lash out at me for no reason, and it hurt so much. I built up a wall and became just as nasty and defensive. It's stuck. Im afraid to tell her things that anger her, and if she insults me I return the favor. It's become instinct and she thinks Im a nasty bitch. Im not at all what she sees me as and I just want her to understand that I want her to love me and be proud of me!

I just don't know how to tell her. I can't get her attention. I talk to her and I become closed in and defensive. I can't handle her being mad at me, I can't handle confrontation.
I want her to understand how she hurts me and how much I love her. How can I do this? (link)
Well, I disagree with what venom 97 said. "She's the adult". Um, so? That doesn't make her any more important than the asker of this question. It is very hard to talk to someone who doesn't respect you, and in turn you don't want to respect them. Thats understandable. I only mention this because I have had many problems with my mom. In fact, our situations sound very similiar. My mom has depression too, my sister has a lighter form of autism, and other things. Anyway, my mom says whatever hurtful things she wants, blames all her problems on me and my brother and sister, she hates me and I am a shame to her just because I don't follow her stupid religion. And she says she has a right to do it all just because she's and adult. Thats why it bothered me so much.

Anyway, I would try to talk to your mom. Since you said you can't confront her, write a letter to her. Or does she have a work email? You could send her an email there. If she doesn't, but still has her own email address at home, and you hve your own, send her one. Tell her you're sorry for being defensive, and ask her if she's sorry for what she has done. Even if she says she's not, try her best to forgive her, even though it's really hard, I know.

And if you ever want to talk to me I would be so happy to chat with you! :)


ok so i was talking with my counseller today and we came round to the idea that i dont have depression. it was just me putting a label on myself and using it as an excuse for my very faulty thought processes and general fucked up ness.

does that mean im not mentally ill or not??

cause my faulty thought processes and irrational thoughts, belifs and behaviours cause me to be depressed and suicidal and make me want to cut.

im confused.

is there a name or illness similar to what i have just described or is it me still wanting a label??? (link)
notyourmomsadvice you have no clue what this persons life is like so i would just stop judging. you think you know all about him/her when the truth is you are totally clueless.

i would seek some help from a doctor. i dont know who you are or why you are doing this, but a doctor can help with it all.


ok so me and my bf have been dating for almost 2 years. and i mean its fun, but not as fun as it used to be. yes, weve done it! but i want do something to make him more attracted to me. i mean i dont brag, but we are both really good looking, which is the hard part. hes so hott and other girls look at him, and other guys look at me and it gets really annoying. i want him to always think i am sexy. what do i do to make him go crazy for me?!?! ANYTHING would be greatttt! (link)
um, theres a lot of couples out there in which both of them are good looking. dont think you are the only one. you would be more attractive if you didn't brag, yet had a certain, sexy confidence to you.

EDIT: Um, thanks for the rating? Anyway, you could try giving him a lap dance.


I am a 20years old female and come from a very religious family who believes that sex before marriage is a sin. All the women in my family were virgins until their wedding nights and the same is thought of me. My family is unaware that in my mid teen years I had been sexually active. I have not had sex in a while. I met this incredible guy who I love dearly and am serious about, and I want to have sex with.
I am deathly afraid of getting caught.
I can not decide between my family's happiness or my own. I feel like choosing my own would be selfish.
I have two scenarios. Either I have sex with the guy I deeply love, behind my family's back and their morals, and just pray I don't get caught
or pregnant.
Or I don't have sex with him in order to please my family's beliefs, and live the rest of my life heartbroken that I lost my love.
Please give me your honest opinion on what I should do. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Also if you have time I have one more question. I've been on Lutera for almost 2months. I would like to know how effective birth control pills are if taken everyday at the same time? And do you know anyone who conceived a child while using birth control pills and were using them correctly as directed? (link)
Well, you CAN choose a different religion. Why should the decisions you make be all about what other people want? You are also over 18 now. They never have to find out! You can do whatever you want. You sound like a people-pleasing person. That's fine, but on this one, you should do what you feel like you should. You kinda answered your own question. "...and live the rest of my life heartbroken that I lost my love" You shouldn't have to lose your love. Do you still live at home? If so, just tell them you are going out, but really go to have sex with the guy. I know this may sound like bad advice to some, but I'm not advising an 11-year-old to have sex she's a freakin adult! I don't think that would be selfish as you sound very respectful of them, and in return, they should let you have this happiness.

Also, if you do decide to do this, most definately use a condom along with the birth control.

P.S. If I offended you I am terribly sorry. I was simply trying to give you my opinion.


I have this thing with my parents having sex when i am home its never happened but i am always it will. they havent done it for awhile i knwo this for a fact. but this all started when i went through my moms inbox & my dad her were sending txt messages that said " do me" "blow me" "lick me" i comfronted my mom about this & she said it was a joke but now i have grown father apart. i just dont know what to do i balled my eyes out i can tell you this. PLEASE HELP!! what do i do do i tell her it still upsets me? (link)
Hmm, well I understand being really grossed out by this as the though of old people doin' it is quite vomitous. But I don't understand crying over it. I will not critisize you for looking at your moms phone COMPLETELY, as I don't know that whole story, maybe you came across it by accident. But if that was the case then you shouldn't have kept reading.

But you shouldn't have confronted your mom about it. My advice is to just forget about it. It IS THEIR sex life, so. But don't let it upset you. Also confronting your parents about it will be very strange because no one I know cries about that stuff.

Besides, wouldn't you hate it if someone confronted you about your sex life? Then again, that's what prents always do, they think they're the only ones with a right to have sex. Damn middle-aged people from the baby-boomer generation. Anyway...

What is the best hair straightener? I don't mind if its really expensive. (link)
I really wonder why hair straighteners are so expensive. I don't think curling irons go for that much...anyway. My mom's hair straightener is a CHI. I've used it before and it is really good! I'm sure it was expensive but knowing my mom she probably got a coupon...lol. But since that doesn't matter to you, yes, I'd have to say it would be worth it.

Tips: Always use a good amount of heat protectant spray. When you are in the shower use a good conditioner and leave it on for 3-5 minutes. This helps greatly reduce the damage. NEVER EVER straighten wet hair, or unprotected hair. If you start straightening it regularly, its good to "go natural" every once in a while :) Sorry, but I hope I helped!
