I am 15 years old and my grandmother (50) is expecting me to haev kids at 16 but I feel that is too young.i want to have kids at 30 years old but my parents thinks it is old. so can anyone tell me if it is?I really want to enjoy my 20's adn have fun.so thanks for your answers!

Now hold on there, this is not your grandmas decision or your mothers, you can have kids whenever you feel is the right time. Your mom probably made a mistake and had kids too young, but know she thinks it turned out well. It's your decision and YOU descide.

okay well i'm 14/f and i babysit for my neighbors who have two girls who are 4 & 2. now thats its summer and i don't have school, i've been babysitting A LOT. it feels like they are overworking me! i'm always so stressed out when i have to go there. the girls can not share togother and then it ends up with the youngest girl crying. and when she crys she SCREAMS! i can't stand it. i'm always babysitting for hours and they are always late when they come home. they also aren't very considerate about me missing meals. like they will have me work from 4-7 and that is like right in the middle of when i would eat dinner, and all they have at their house is junk food. like over the weekend i was babysitting from 9:30 - 3:30. also i'm always worrying that the dad will get mad at me if one of the kids falls asleep. i mean they pay me good ( 8 dollars and hour ), and the kids love me, but i always stress out about going over there.

i don't want to stop babysitting for them, because that would also leave them without a babysitter. but i need ways to help me not stress out as much about babysitting. like this week they only told me that they will need me to babysit thursday from 5-6, but then today i saw the mom and she said that their oldest daughter who is 16 will be going on vacation this whole week and that they will need me to babysit tuesday, thursday, and friday from 9-1! omg and i'm already stressing out about it! HELP!!

well,
ask them some questions about babysitting. if you don't feel comfortable ask your mom to ask them . ask simple ones like what time will they need to go to bed or should they....... bring a meal with you wrapped in plastic wrap. set it on the counter and wait til you get hungry. you can warm it up. i really dont think that they would mind if you do that. if the two little ones dont share then put them in different parts of the room and play a game like who can guess what this is or one of them draws a girrafe and another draws a zebra. print out coloring sheets from the computer. i would recomend google. they have nice sheets. just type in coloring sheets or disney world or looney toons and pics will come up of them. while they are coloring bring a good book with oyu!! Best of luck!

Ok this dog we just got is perfect! She's a black lab and adorable. She doesn't touch anything during the day except her toys. And she never leaves my brothers side when they're sleeping.

But the only thing is, she doesn't like to go in the kitchen. When she does, she goes in there for whatever she needs then she whimpers and backs out. Why is she doing this and what could we do to make her feel more comfortable in the kitchen?

And, she won't eat her dogfood. Whyyy? XD We're suggesting she doesn't like that kind..But she does eat treats. So that is a possibility. We're going to try another flavor. But how could we, other than get another flavor, get her to eat what she already has?

Thanks. :)

if you just got her she is probably afraid of something in there that looks weird to her. go to petsmart and get beef or chicken or whatever suace to put over her food. my dog loves it! try it!

I love to dance!!!!is the best thing ever but im not really good at it!.I was taking some dance classes but they were really hard to I quit!what can I do to learn how to dance?I was thinking of getting a dance privated teacher!

well i have been dancing ballet(one of the hardest dances ever) for about 10 years now...it might be hard at first but u just have to keep trying and trying after about 3 months, your ganna think "why did i think this was hard?" and remeber having a private teacher and classes is very expensive(unless ur rich). I hope i helped!

My dad has yelled and cussed since I was born. For example, last night his sister called and I went over to him and I had the phone in my hand. I said, "Dad? Do you want to talk to your sister? Here's the phone." And he ignored me, so I put it down and was walking up the stairs, and he heard his sister leaving a message. He ran over to the phone, turned to me, and yelled, "YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER IT?" And I didn't know what to say because I had asked him if he wanted to talk to her, but he didn't answer. I coudn't cry in front of him. I did once and he started screaming at me for it. Do I even have a reason to be upset for him saying that to me? I don't know. Sometimes I feel so stupid for getting upset over things like that and I don't think I have a reason to. I was trying to tell my mom something earlier and he walked by, glared at me, and said, "SHUT UP!" For no reason. He yells and cusses at me and my brother almost every day for no reason at all. I've talked to my mom before and she didn't do anything. The only time she's tried talking to my dad about it, he simply started cussing at me and her. He's okay one minute, then the next he's yelling like a maniac. I can't take this anymore. I'm still crying over something he said to me LAST year. Do I have a reason to be upset? What am I supposed to do?

you have absolute reason to be upset! He is probably stressed out alot. maybe you should try to get him on vacation for a while for some time alone. your family could have a break and try to figure out his problem. for now try to steer clear of him and be nice as much as posible! GOOD LUCK!

I posted another question a few days ago about my Dad. But, for I think four or five years, I've been praying that my Dad would stop yelling. My mom has been praying since the day I was born that he would stop. He cusses, screams, you name it at me and my family. I can't take it. I'm crying typing this. I thought God answered all prayers. Why can't he answer this one?

well maybe you should send your dad on a vacation for about 3 weeks. he is probably stresssed out! try talking to oyur mom.

We used to all hang out, us a other people too, but now its just me, her and her boyfriend and I feel as though I'm becoming the third wheel. What can I do about this?

well all i can say is talk to them about it.

13/f

Ok well, I went out with my best guy friend and then after a week dumped him because it felt weird going out with my friend. Its been a month or so since we broke up and hes still mad at me. at first I was over him then I found out he was saying stuff about me and it made me mad. About 2 weeks ago he stopped talking about me and just started ignoring me. Last night, I went to this party and he was there, and he wouldn't talk to me. I was going to talk to him but I chickened out. I started flirting with his bestfriend to make him jealous. I don't know if it worked because I saw him looking at me with a blank stare but thats about it. Now I can't stop thinking about him. But the thing I dont want to like him!

all that i can tell you is to talk to his best friend. tell his best friend everything and tell him to talk to him for you. Good Luck!

would it be a turn off for a guy if the girl he's dating has never been with anyone before. not even like a first kiss? because im a freshmen and im starting to date this junior and he's really cute and stuff and has been with other girls, but i've never been with a guy before. is that a major turn off, or would it be a turn on? thanks for your advice!

well considering that your a freshman he probably figures that you've never been with a guy before. Just play it cool and act like you've dont this before. Best of Luck!

okay so there is this guy i have liked for 2 years and i would do anything for him ANYTHING. i think about him constantly and whenever he looks at me i get all excited. I talk about him all the time and I know exaclty where to sit at lunch so he can see me and i can see him. He has had a lot of recent problems with family,drugs ,gangs, and freinds and i balled my eyes out when one of his REALLY close familly memebers got sick. I care for him a lotand like i said i would do anything for him. and a lot of the times i see him i just want to run and give him a huge hug and kiss him. Do I like him or is this something more.....or am i just obsesed

well maybe you should try and talk to him.Have you ever thought of that? i don't know what else to tell you then go and talk ti him. I don't think that you are obsessed, but take your mind off him once and a while and try to study more.

My friend has recently gotten in the way between me and my boyfriends relationship. Back when I was dating a guy that I hardly ever saw, she was fine with it. We three would hangout together and nothing was akward or strange at all. Ever since I've been dating this new guy, (whom i see on a regular basis and not just every other weekend) shes been nagging about everything having to do with him. She says that we haven't been spending alot of time together, which was true. But now I'm making more of an effort to balance out boyfriend and bestfriend. But latly shes been attacking everything to do with him. She refuses to hangout with just me and him because it would be "akward" but yet she can explain why is it. We never hookup in public or anything; yet even if I just kiss him and shes there with someone else, she'll go "akwarddd" I can't stand her acting this way and shes been becomming very bitchy to me about everything. When we do hangout alone, she acts like a complete jerk to me and then blames it on pms and lack of sleep (which has been her excuse for about a month now) She hasn't had a boyfriend for awhile so I can see that she might be jealous about us being together ... but something else has been happening latly. She's a very touchy feely person about alot of stuff, but since me and my boyfriend have started going out she's kicked it up a notch. She'll do weird things that give me the impression that shes a lesbian like touch me on my arm or shoulder, constantly want to be with me and touch other girls boobs. (as a joke, but she doesn't stop after one time) I don't know how to respond to this seeing as I know she likes boys, but her phyisical actions are making it hard to believe. She's constantly telling me and my boyfriend that shes right about these things and that everyone else agrees with her. It's tense just to be with her anymore. She have these explosions where she rants off to me about how I'm not making any attempt to keep our friendship going and that I don't understand her point. I really am trying to make this work, but with the way shes been acting towards me, I don't see why I should bother. I don't know whether to slowly drift from her, keep her as a friend or something else.

i think that oyu should talk to your friend and ask her what is going on. You should also ask your bf for some help with her. good luck!

I hope i picked the right category for this. Anyway,I got my eyebrows waxed, and all of a sudden I got these little tiny bumps on my eyebrows! This never happened to me before and I don't know what to do. Does anyone know what caused this and how I can get rid of them? Thanks

it might of just been a irritation. Did u get your eyebrows waxed at a differnet place than u usally do? maybe thats why. It should go away in like 5 days or so.

Well...im babysitting tomorrow...and i usually babysit a little boy and girl...but i found out that its just gonna be the girl this time.
Shes in 1st grade and is a normal little girl who likes her barbies but still has that boyish edge bc she plays with her older brother a lot.
I was just wandering if any of you had some games that youve played with your "babysit-ees"..or anything crafty to do. The only thing is..her mom is a neat freak so i CANNOT make a mess. We've already played the normal hide-and-seek..tag...kickball games a billion times though..so im looking for maybe a creative edge to the answers..
Hope im not asking too much :-)
Thanks in advance!

go on abcteach.com they have a catagory for babysitting. Best of luck!!

Well since Christmas is coming up soon, and new years too. I want to throw a party. I’ve got everything planned… but I have 1 little problem-

You see, I met these 2 girls last year. Amy and Laura. Well, I did something really stupid.
I like both of these girls as friends, but then this year, we separated into different school classes. Amy and I have classes together, but then Laura doesn’t see us at all in school.

Well, there are some things that Laura has done, that Amy didn’t like. So pretty much, Amy hates Laura, but Laura still likes Amy.
Now here comes my stupid thing- I told Amy that I didn’t like Laura either! I don’t know why I told her that.

But whenever I do see Laura in school, she thinks I like her, and I do! So we talk to each other, but then whenever Amy comes, I have to lie and tell her that I don’t like Laura.

Well, My problem is… I don’t know what to do about the party. Should I invite both girls?? If I invite Laura, Amy will get mad and will hate me because I lied to her. But if I don’t invite Laura, she’ll find out about the party, and will hate me because I didn’t invite her. I’m really stuck in the middle!!!!!!

I don’t know if I should tell Amy that I’m friends with Laura, but then risk my friendship with Amy. Or just keep lying to Amy?

HELP!

Signed, confused!

just come out and tell the truth. if amy or laura are realoly your friends then they will forgive you for lying which ever one gets mad is not a true friend and which ever one stays and dooesn't get mad you should stick with. still be friends with them if they get mad but if they don't want your friendship then it's their loss. invite both of them!! good luck! oh and by the way it's your party so oyu can invite whoever you want to invite!

(15/F) I'm not one who likes to sleep and the dark circles under my eyes give it away. I'm not looking for make-up, but more of a solution. Are there any specific foods or vitamins that could help and how long until I see any changes? I've had dark circles for years, so would that make it hard to reverse?

Try to sleep more. take some vitamin c & vitamin b.......stuff that might make you fall asleep is milk. Hot chocolate too. I mean that's all i can say.
