Tired -- Ryan Huston

It's not really self reliance, but I thought I'd suggest it because I really like the song. It's kinda like, I can't always be there for you because I have my own problems that I'm dealing with so what are you going to do when I'm not there?

Definately work on foot work. You have to have quick feet on defense, especially if you're defending the person with the ball.

Always stay on the girl you're defending, unless no one's on the girl with the ball. Always keep your eye on who ever has the ball. If no one is on her, she has a straight path to the goal. If you see that, stop her, even if it means leaving behind the girl you were defending before, because think about it, who's the bigger threat?

Always stay between the ball and the goal.
Keep your stick up.
Talk! Tell the other defenders who you're on, so it's less confusing. If you're defending two people, let your teammates know so someone can take one of them off your hands.

Hm, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. If you have any questions, feel free to drop one in my inbox.

As for the question about loving him.
It takes time. I'm not saying you should end it because you don't, but people get to the point where they love someone at a different rate. It doesn't just happen over a set period of time.
I'm actually really glad you said you don't love him, because a lot of people think that because they are dating someone, they are obligated to love them.

And the sex thing. Just tell him you're not ready again. If he really likes you, he'll respect that and wait until you are ready. You shouldn't be being pressured about that. If he keeps doing it, honestly, I think you should break it off. No one should be pressured into doing something if they don't want to, and especially if they don't think they're ready. And don't give into the pressure unless you're positive you're ready. Don't do anything you're not comfortable with.

If he goes to another girl for sex, then I say it's his loss, because he's losing a girl with good moral values. You may be sad at first if you two break up because of this, but you'll realize that there's someone out there who respects you enough to wait, and you'll be glad you did.

Well, before you can be happy with someone else, you have to be happy with yourself. I'm not saying you HAVE to be happy about being single, but you have to believe in yourself, which I guess brings us to confidence. What parts of yourself are you not confident in? Try to improve those. If it's looks, try working out. It makes me feel more confident in myself. If it's like social skills, just try talking to people. Anywhere. At school if you're standing by someone who has nothing better to do, just say "Hey how are you?" Get to the point where you're comfortable talking to different people, and then if you like a guy, just approach him. Say hi. Start a conversation. Compare interests. Ask him what kind of music he likes, if he has any siblings, even if you already know the answers. It starts conversation. As for flirting. Be touchy. Not like slutty touchy, but like, touch his arm when you're talking, push him playfully when you're joking around. Smile a lot.

I don't know about weed, but I knwo for cigarettes it differs from person to person. Some people are addicted the first time. But it takes a few for other people.

I felt like this for a long time. You're got to learn not to depend on other people.
If you need a way to vent or just release stress, try drawing, running, praying, writing. I started writing a lot when I was no longer able to depend on my friends always being there, and it helps. Start a journal, write how you feel. Or write a story. Express your emotions through your characters. And if you don't want to do these things, you can always talk to me. I love to listen. I won't get angry or aynthing because I'm used to listening to my friends. You dont have to give me names or details or anything if you don't want to.
Just a suggestion.

No, it has nothign to do with a gang. It just means they've killed someone. My uncle has one (but he doesnt kill for fun or anything. A gun went off when he was holding it and the bullet killed a guy).

No, that's not true. My friends have plugged my iPod into their computers for me to charge it loads of times , and their iTunes never got erased.

When you upload them to photobucket, it has a choice, after you upload it, to change the size. Like, click the picture to make it bigger, and it should say something about the size of it, and it has like thumbnails and other stuff.

Two songs get me really pumped up;
Talk to me, dance with me -- hot hot heat
and
Trippin' on a hole in a paper heart -- stone temple pilots

Hmm, where to begin? Well, My name is Melanie. You can call me whatever you'd like, as long as it somehow relates to my name =]
I'm just about your average teenage girl. I'm boy crazy and I love to have fun. I'm really laidback and open-minded. I love to listen (or read, in this case). No question is stupid, so ask away. If you want to talk one on one, email or IM me, or hell, you can even talk to me on myspace. I'm usually by the computer, but if I'm not, I'll get back to you. Promise.
