okay so one of my friends is always high they smoke all the time its so obvious
but my quesion is "is there anyway to hide the fact that you are high?" if there is a way you would think you would try to hide it right?
15 yrs. brianna

Hey. I'm pretty sure the only thing you may be able to hide is your behavior. I mean maybe your friend could try to control herself, but you still can't help the dialated pupils and bloodshot eyes.

I think you can also freeze spoons for a minute or two and put them under your eyes so they don't look as drowsy, but that's basically it. People will still be able to tell your friend is high.

ok well me and my boyfriend of 3 months had our first kiss today when we were up in my room on my bed and we started making out right after the kiss and we had it goin on for a good hour and a half. and now we both seem to be addicted to it and we wanna see eachother and do it again because it was so special
do you think thats weird?

Hey. No it's not wierd at all. Making out is actually addicting lol. It's fun, and you both fealt the sparks, therefore you liked it and you want to do it again. There's nothing wrong with that, just don't do anything you're not positive you're ready for..


Have fun though[;

16/f

for about a year know ive been staring to develop feelings for some of my friends, but these are my girl friends not the guy friends! ive never told any one this because i wasnt actually sure if it was happening. but now im actually catching myself having sexual fantasies about girls, as well as guys! ive had sex with a guy and im not real interested in having ity with a chic cauz i just dont see how that works but its just the bodily contact that gets me into trouble with my girl friends. i even have a bigger problem cuz i just rescently found out that one of my girl friend crushes is bye and it's taking alot out of me not to tell her how i feel, but then again i dont want to tell her cuz she has a bf and i have a bf!

does anyone think that i might be bye? if i am what shoul i do about it???

Hey. Yeah, you might actually be Bi. But it's not a bad thing to be bi! I mean, I'm straight but alot of people that I know are bi. It's nothing to be ashamed of, you can't help who you're attracted to. I don't understand why the last person said 'sorry to say' becuase it's nothing to be 'sorry' about. This attraction might just be a phase. You should try to focus on your boyfriend for a while, and if you find that your feelings for this girl don't change then I think you should tell her. You never know, maybe you'll try out a relationship with her and things don't work out and you find that you're not bi. Or maybe things will work out perfectly and you'll be happy with her.

It's nothing to be ashamed of, I think when you feel brave enough, you should go for it.
Good Luck!

Anyone have any tips for how to kiss i just want to be ready for my first one so i don't look like an idiot! (female)

It's so easy! You just let them lead you. You could possibly lean in for it first, but I don't reccomend that becuase then you're kind of obligated to do everything. I would just wait for them to go for it. It's perfectly easy, as long as you know how. Just be calm and everything will work out.

Good Luck!

everytime that i miss school, i feel bad. even if im really sick, and dont feel like going, and cant go, i still feel bad. what wrong with me? is that normal?

Hey. Yeah, that's normal. You just feel bad becuase you know it goes on your report card and affects your grades and such. Sometimes I feel the same way. It's okay to feel that way, Just know that if you're sick you have every right to stay home. As a matter of fact, you should becuase then you won't give the sickness to any other kids.


Good Luck, Hope I helped.

hello, im a guy, 14 and i have a 27" waste and i want to get some white skinny jeans or just some skinny jeans that are 27" but i cant find them--any suggestions on stores?

I would go to old navy, believe it or not. I know a kid that gets skinny jeans from there, and he must have somewhat the same waist size as you. Hope I helped.

I'm a freshman and I'm on the swim team for my high school.
This past weekend we went to State swim meet that was about 3 hours away.
Friday night we had so much fun. We played a game for like 3 hours with the whole team.
Well, the whole time this guy named Aaron kept flirting with me.
In the game, people have to kill someone and he kept saying, you can't kill my baby! I'll kill you! .. and joking we were the married couple and all.
Then Saturday he was sick all day, but when we got back to the hotel, he felt fine, and we all had to go into these two rooms for 3 hours before we could go back to the meet.
So we were all playing video games and he was playing around my waist and everything, and being a stupid and joking.
So when we got back on the bus, he asked me to Winter Formal.
Which would be amazing, right?
No, because did I mentoin he's a senior? Hah, he is.
He's only 17, but he's a senior.
And why would a senior ask a freshman to Winter Formal?
But I mean, he's the sweetest guy ever.
I went to sleep on the bus last night with nothing, and I woke up with his pillow and blanket, because he said I looked cold.

I just don't know what to do!

Sorry that this is so long!

Hey. Omg, that's adorable.
I personally don't think he's just looking for action.
If he was, he wouldn't have put a pillow and blanket on you, he'd probably try to like take advantage of you or something, or just let you sleep the way you were. Also, instead of putting his hand or your waist, it would have been on your ass or something. It seems to me like he really likes you.
I would go to the Winter Formal with him, if I were you.

Good Luck[:!

okay i hope this doesnt sound really stupid, but... a girl in my town just died and everyone is posting bulletins saying "please pray for her." and i feel really stupid because im not sure what were praying for? i mean, if she was sick or injured id be praying for her to get better. and i can see praying for her family and friends that they will be able to get through this. but when they say pray for her, do they mean pray that she'll go to heaven, or what? im sorry, i just want to understand what they mean.

Hey. Basically, you're just praying that she's happier now than she was when she was suffering. You can also pray for her family, that they get through this. Also, praying for her could also mean you just talk to her. You could say something simple like "I hope everything's better now, I miss you. I hope you're happier now." Stuff like that.


Hope I helped.

hiii
sorry its a bit long..
well i have liked this boy for about 6-7 months or more. i went out with him for 5 months and we broke up about 3 weeks ago. i still love him and i have never loved anyone as much as him. everyone can even tell.
i cheated on him at the very start that we went out and then i realised how much i love him and i regretted it; and he forgave me. but the whole time we were going out he would ditch me and he also lied to me about smoking (i didnt like smokers at the time) and he lied about not smoking. I forgave him for everythingg he did. then he did cheat on me, but he was drunk and the girl did stuff to him; it wasnt him at all .. so i forgave him..again..then we broke up because he kept flirting with these girls and it just got too much for me. And then about 2 weeks ago his best friend sends me a message saying all this threats and stuff and that if i ever talk to my ex again i will get bashed. I didnt really take notice of it coz he hasnt said anything to me about it. But last week me and my ex started talking and i asked him what he would do if his friend hit me and he said he would go crazy and be angry and stuff. Then i asked him if he ever thinks about me anymore and he said All the time. Then i was like Why arent we together yet.. and hes like Because my best friend doesnnt want me to be. .
and today i asked him why his friend doesnt want us to be together and he said I dont know.
So practically the only reason were not together is because of his best friend..and i dont know what to do because i have never felt like this about anyone; i actually think i love him.
Please help
thankss

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL! And I know it sucks. What you need to do is you need to tell your ex how much you love him. If he feels the same about you he'll ignore what his friend thinks. It's not up to his friend, it's up to you two. As for this kid telling you he's going to hit you.. I would deffinately tell an adult. I know that seems really lame but people these days are phsycotic, and honestly, you'll be lucky if the worst he does is smack you around..

I hope this helped, but if you want more advice deffinately leave something in my inbox, I'll be happy you help you.

every night my EX IMs me and talks about us having sex and what we would do if we were alone and how great our sex was.. the thing is he has a gf now.. would that in anyway be cheating? its not like were really doing anything were just talking about doing shit..

Hey. It's not really technically cheating, but it's deffinately not okay. I would tell him to stop becuase it's wrong, and if he doesn't stop I would save the conversations and tell his girlfriend. It might seem harsh but cheating is not okay in any form, for any reason, and he's not cheating on you right now, but talking about having sex with you means that if the opportunity came about, he would have sex with you, which deffinately is cheating.

I'm not sure how clear that was but I hope I helped. If you don't understand leave something in my inbox and I'll re - explain.

my dog has separation anxiety, i think it's called. when we leave somewhere and come home, the house is a WRECK. She chews on shoes, gets in the garbage, even goes upstairs and chews up things in my bedroom. and when we come home, she always looks like she thinks someone's going to hit her.

what can i do to stop this?

Hey. My dog has the same thing. What you need to do it, mostly try to spend more time at home, because dogs usually get like this when the owner is barely ever home. Such as if you worked a full time job and comes home, showers, eats, and sleeps, then goes to work again the next day.

So besides trying to pay alot more attention to your dog, we put my dog in a crate. HOWEVER, the crate was HUGE. And, that only lasted for about a week. The next thing you can do is put something that would taste bad, like hot sauce or vinigar. Dogs hate it, so they won't pick at the trash or anything anymore once they remember what it tastes like. NEVER, EVER PUT ANYTHING ON THE TRASH THAT A HUMAN WOULDN'T EAT, like a chemical or something, although i'm sure you're smart enough to know that[:

If you don't want to get a crate, cause I know I flipped out on my mom when she came home with our crate, put her in a room alone, with her bed or something and a bone.

Hope I helped, and good luck with your puppy[:

How do I get rid of fat???

Does anyone know if the southe beach diet works????????????????????

Hey. Well, this isn't going to be much help, I'm just trying to add to some of the other answers. Just incase this is the type of diet...

Never go on diets that eliminate a food group(example: diets that eliminate wheats and such, such as the atkinz diet), because once you start eating those foods, all the weight comes back.

Sorry that I'm not much help. Just wanted to let you know of that[:

does anyone know whether skullcandy headphones are any good?

Hey. Yeah, skullcandy headphones are the best you can buy! They come in a bunch of different sizes, and they get REALLY loud. I would get a small, but I guess the size choice is up to you. I would deffinately consider buying them though, they're supposed to be really good.

okay everyone knos christmas is going to be here pretty soon. and i still dont kno what to get my parents. i kno im going to get them a card, and im probably going to put my money towards a big bath and body works thing with the big things of lotions and stuff for my mom. and im not sure what to get my dad. and i dont want to ask what he wants cause then he knos hes going to end up getting it. so i was thinking like something along the lines as like a gift card out to dinner. and he loves the apple store but we live about 1 and 1/2 hours from an orlando store and i cant drive so that would be pretty hard to get. so please give me some ideas what to get him! thankks so muchh in advancee! =]]

Hey. I think getting him a giftcard to go out to dinner is an amazing idea! In fact, if you wanted to skip the individual gifts, you could put all your money into a giftcard that's worth alot of money to like a fancier restaraunt for him and your mom. They would love it becuase they get to spend time together and in the end it would save you a lot of stress and aggrivation. Also, keep in mind that you're only a kid so they don't expect you to buy them like a car or something. They're parents, they'll love anything you get them. But personally, I think you're deffinately on the right track with the giftcards. I would deffinately get them one to like Olive Garden or some other fancier restaraunt near your house and stuff. It's a cute idea, go with it.

Good Luck, hope I helped you.

Me and my 2 best friends (girls) like my other best friend (guy) i grew up with him and he was my best friend for the last 3 years. I’ve never had a boyfriend (bf) but I told him I liked him and he said he liked me then everything just stopped for 2 weeks i dono why and we did nothing about it and for a week of that i was in dead hate with him id do anything to piss him off but now were really close again (cursing him out to telling him I love him(in a friend way).
i love him but I treat him like my other best friends. They think that’s wrong. I can say anything to him and there is only 2 people in my life that I can him and my friend that likes him. Im just very comfortable around him ill tell him anything. He knows I cut and all, depressed, and struggling he is there for me through it. He made it so much better and makes me worry a lot less about it. I love being around him. We used to talk about our crushes of other people and us, but now when it comes to talking about crushing or love we smile and end up flirting like little kids in a way I love it lol. i cant show sad emotion very well i just had to put that idk why. O and my gothic clothes and hxc music scares him but he loves it somehow.
I don’t know If Im making a big deal about this or what it’s tearing me up. This is the only thing I can’t talk to him about. I tried once but changed the subject after first word… what should I do? I am totally lost.. 13 but 14 next month female : ) hes in 3 months
but today was the best day of my life :) with my friends.

Hey. No offence to the person below me but I don't think you're too young to have "boy problems." Well, you sort of made it unclear, atleast for me to understand if you like him or not. If you do, you should deffinately make a move becuase it sounds to me as if he's either not going to, or is unsure about your feelings for him. I know how you feel if you don't like him though. Actually, this question describes my life to a T. What with the cutting and stuff. I know how you feel about how having him around keeps you less tence and you have less of a desire to do it. That sounds just like me. If you don't like him that way, I would just keep things on a friendly level. I mean it's deffinately okay to flirt, but you wouldn't want to do it so much that he thinks you like him and makes a move on you when you don't want to. Basically, if you like him, go for it. If you don't, then leave things the way that they are.

And for the cutting, ferserious, hide your razor or throw it away, and get and elastic band or hair alastic. When you feel like cutting, snap the fuck out of yourself. You don't bleed from it and the marks last for all of a minute. I know, believe me I know how lame it is to get lecures on it, it sucks. I know how much it helps, but believe me, I'm there, too. But we, me and you, really have to try and stop. The elasric works well.

Good luck, and I hope I helped though I'm pretty sure this was of no help to you lol.

im 13 years old and a female and my mom treats me like im 30
she wants me to wash the dishes every night and clean the kitchen , and the bathroom , and my room, even my 8 year old brother's room
am like cinderella?
the worst part is that when i do these things she wont even say thank you or tell me that i did a good job, she just acts like's it's nothing.
but wen i do something wrong she yells so much till i just feel like crying.
at the same time of cleaning those and doing all the chores, she also expects me to get straight a's in skool
like she'll freak out if a get an 82 on test and tell me that ill never get anywhere in life if i dont do good in skool.

how do i get her to let me be a kid and just have fun and hang out with my friends and relax

thnxx

Heey. ommygod, I know EXACTLY how you feel, it's REDICULOUS.
What I did was, I explained to my mom how it pisses me off how she treats me. I don't know if this is the case for you, but my mom treats me like i'm 4 when i want to go out, but suddenly i'm like 45 when it comes to me doing things for her. Tell her in a nice way that you're just a kid, and you don't want all that kind of pressure. Explain to her that you want to be treated your age, and that you deffinately don't mind helping her out, but you don't think it's fair that these things are automatically expected of you.

Most importantly, be nice to her or she'll just ignore you and continue to treat you the way she does if you don't show her respect.

Hope I helped, you said you're 13, right? Well, i'm 14 so there must not be too much of a difference in what our parents think we're capable of.
Good Luck, hope I helped.

First I am currently in the United States Army deployed to Iraq. I am really a good looking person, and in great shape. But throughout my whole life, I have never been able to be really affected by emotions. I am married, most likely going to end up in divorce, only because I don't feel in love. No matter how many long term or short term relationships, I never feel happy, sad, or anything, and always yearn, for loss of better words, that feeling. I don't mourn the deaths of others, or family members. I am not fearfull of death or anything. Do I have to try to feel this?

Hey. Well, i'm no doctor but it kind of sounds to me like you might be depressed. I won't get to into it but everything you've said in your question sounds to me like someone with depression. Expecially when you say that you have no feelings anymore..
I would most deffinately try to get some help before it gets serious.

Hope I helped.

ok so i have a boyfriend problem. (he just turned 19 and i'm 15 going on 16 in february.)(that's not the problem though) so anyway, he tries to control me too much. we threaten to break up with each other but we never really do. He has a court date in 2 days for "trespassing" into my house. (It was behind my dad's back and my dad caught him in my room). i really don't want to break up with him, but he said that if i say no to him one more time about something, he'll smash my head into the sidewalk. I don't know what to do...i say no to him when he asks me to not talk to any of my guys friends, not to see my friends on the weekend, or to call him twice a day, everyday. i just don't want to and i think i should get my freedom...

uhm, he'll "smash your head!?" oh wow.
deffinately break up with him.
you might want to also let an adult know about the threats he makes to you, it's abuse.
and God only knows what could happen if you piss him off too much.
this is insane, and what he's doing is verbal abuse, and you can deffinately take him to court for it, it's threat and possible attempted murder, if the court sees it that way.
you deffinately need to break up with him, as soon as you can. today infact. it's not okay, he's not safe. i agree with the person below..
are you crazy!? he's BAD NEWS. please be smart and break up with him TODDAY.

I told yawlz how much I hate gym, right? Well, it's a funny thing. The only fitness thing I do is: YOGA. I was thinking, is it possible to talk to my gym teacher and ask him if I can make a yoga type part of the class? I found out that, yes I must pass 'gym' to pass high school. Which in my opinion is a load of bull shit. Anyway, do you think I can convince my gym techer and principle to do this? I have almost 30 more peepz who agree with me on this. So, there'd not only be me doing yoga, but many others. Would a bunch of signartures work??? Please respond, ASAP!

p.s please no rudeness. I can't put up with it...

hey. yeah i think it's a good idea, at my school for the gym period people can do like yoga and workout tapes from the tv's, and they're gunna get DDR mats for us to do during gym.
basically they'll say yes to anything that fits with the budget and keeps people moving.
you might want to suggest that poeple could donate tapes, becuase you don't know how much extra money the school has for it.

hope i helped.

Is it true that sometimes one of the side effects of getting your period is breaking out? Becuase I just got mine, and I broke out REALLY bad. My friend says that happens to her, too, sometimes. So I was just wondering if it was...and what I could do to help it. thanks!

hey. yeah i would say that's normal, i break out too.
try getting proactive, i don't know if you've heard of it, but if you have it's deffinately something to look into, it's amazing.
if not, just wash your face with a plain ivory brand soap, one with no perfumes or anything, and use something like witch hazel or clean and clear.
lastly, don't touch your face because all the oils and dirts from your hands will get in your pores and cause you to breakout more.
and i wouldn't pop the breakouts you have because that can cause them to spread.

hope that helped.
