can someone tell me how to read guitar tabs? (link)
ok. so. the bottom most line is the thickest string on your guitar - the low E. And the top string is the high E. Here:
E----
B----
G----
D----
A----
E----

then the numbers on each "string" (line) are the fret number. and zero (0) means you just play the open string. and you read the tab from left to right like you would writing.
so like this:
E---------------------|
B---------------------|
G---------------------|
D---------------------|
A-------------0--2--3-|
E----0--2--3----------|

would be: low e open, f#, g, open a, b, c.

Now that is a sort of sloppy explanation, I don't know if you understood anything but here is a more detailed tutorial (and cool site for learning guitar-there are also videos):

I've been wanting choppy layers for quite some time now. Everytime I go to a salon, I never get what I want, even though I explain what I want and show pictures. x.x So I would like to try cutting my own choppy layers. Yes, I have some experience with cutting my hair. xD I've cut my own bangs and hair before... Does anyone have any tips or strategies on how to make my own choppy layers? Preferably simple tips/strategies? Like maybe I should use a razor or something? Please don't tell me to go to a salon to get it 'professionally' cut... and also, please don't answer if you truly don't know what you're talking about. I'm asian, so yeah, I have that thin asian hair. xD Also, when you answer, PLEASE be specific. I would like to know how I can cut my own choppy layers correctly. I don't wanna screw up my hair. xD My hair is a little below my shoulders, and it's the same length all around. (Which I hate D:) Here are some pics I found that I like:

I don't want anything too dramatic though. I also don't want to tease my hair, or mess with hair spray, I just simply want choppy layers. Also, does anyone know a way that I can thin out the ends of my hair? It just looks like a bulky box shape to me, if you get what I mean. Probably because my hair is so short... If anyone knows how to cut my bangs to match the rest of my hair, that would help too. Cutting choppy bangs seems complicated to me. o.o Thanks in advance!! (link)
Um ok so I don't have anything very specific to tell you, but I think to get the result you want you should use a razor and just sort of go crazy...:D
here is an example:

I'm 13 and I just started my period 2 days ago. The first day there was brown period, and then there wasnt any period at night. The next day there was brown period and nothing at night too. Then the next day, there was nothing all day. Is this normal? (link)
This is perfectly normal, especially for your FIRST period. For me, for about the first two years I had the craziest periods.. Like not having one for two months, brown, red, whatever you want lol. It's normal for the first 1.5 years I think for it to be abnormal.
Not bleeding at night is probably because you are lying down so the blood doesn't... "fall out" :P

So yeah it's fine, don't worry! :)


i've grown up going to a christian church and school and i pray everyday but i've never felt God's presence before...

i try to have faith and seek him but it's hard when i don't feel he's there and i feel like there's a hole in my life and i feel lonely but i just don't feel like i'm a christian even though i want to be.

how do i become a christian even though i've already been praying and going to church and have seeked him but don't feel anything?? (link)
Basically TheGivingTree said what I wanted to say, I just want to add that you seem to have the wrong idea about "fnding" God in my opinion. I think God is just the realization that as humans we are a tiny part of something we will never understand and also it gives us something to work towards to be good people. To me it's something that feels very calm and almost magical to think how "nothing" we actually are. To everybody it's something different I guess.

I am amazed I am saying these things by the way, since about a year ago (when I hadn't thought about it much) I decided I would never be remotely religious in my life... Oh and I didn't realize what it is (actually I guess I still don't know anyhting, but if we are going to talk about it like that) by "searching" specifically for God, but by thinking about our existence as humans, and the universe, and the balances throughout nature... :)


I'm Christian and I know lust is wrong. That's why i was super-relieved when I got more into studying the Bible and whatnot and I was distracted by my former thoughts...that was a while ago though. And now they're coming back, especially about the boy that I'm infatuated with...and i don't want to bring him into this, he's a Christian boy!! I don't wanna think of him like that...or think like that at all.

like I said, I know in the Bible it says several times lust and sexual immorality is sin...but i need help stopping the thoughts. I'm praying! if you have any advice, please offer it, if you don't please pray for me. (link)
I'm not very religious like many of you guys are in the US, and I am not Catholic, but I am christian (orthodox). The way I perceive that is in a very general sense and I consider the details of what the Bible says unimportant (people wrote it). In other words, I think that the basic idea of Christianity is love and for us to be good people generally in our life and not as a reason for us to follow a set of rules that were arbitrarily made up by some group of people I don't even know. Lust, just like many other things is human nature, and God knows that. I guess what I am trying to say is that I see God and religion -any God- as an ideal for people, which we try to work towards, and it is what separates us from the rest of the animals.

Plus, I mean what is your plan, to not think of boys until when? Whenever that is it's going to be ok suddenly? And what about getting married? How are you going to get married and have kids (which are a gift from God) when you are afraid to think of a man sexually?
I hope I don't seem harsh and you understand what I am trying to say. It's hard for me to put it in words.


my boyfriend has been hearing voices since 8th grade. we are both in 11th now and it has gotten worse. he says that now he has to 2nd guess if someones actually talking to him or if its just in his head. its driving him crazy and he wants to get high all the time to escape it and he just attempted suicide last night. he wont listen to me and i tell him to get put on meds for it and he says meds numb u 4 real, you cant feel anything let alone hear anything and i dont wanna be numb id rather be dead. so now im terrified because i really feel like hes an inch away from killing himself and i dont know what to do because you cant help someone who doesnt want to be helped and he doesnt see his mom anymore and his dad doesnt take him seriously. please help i cant lose the one n only guy ive ever loved.

Ok this sounds very much like my uncle, who suffers from schizophrenia, and started getting "sick" around the same age. Somebody has to do something. I agree with the person above, that you should tell your parents or his parents or both and then the local psyhiatric ward for help.
