Q: I was divorced about 1 1/2 years ago. My kids and I grew up in a sadistic environment. Now my ex is away from all responsibility and has supposedly changed completely. It makes it appear that it was all my fault, even though I know my kids know deep inside that it is his. He was abusive to all of us. But as time goes on and he has a new love (and I don't) it makes it seems as if everything was my fault. What can I do?
there really is nothing you can do physically, but emotionally you will alwys have your kids who will love you forever. im sure he wont have a new love for long if he was abusive(even if he claims that hes changed), but thats his own problem and not yours anymore. and your kids will always be your motivation every morning to get up and start a new day!

i hope i helped!

Q: I am overweight (13 yrs old, 5ft 4in, and 140 lbs) so I use a bathroom scale to check my weight 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening. Why is my weight different at those 2 times of the day? How do I know which one is telling the truth? Are any of the scales telling the truth? Because one time I went to the doctor and I weighed more on that scale than on the one I own at home. Why are these weights all different? How much do I really weigh? Help me please! What should I do?
dont worry.. your weight fluctuates throughout the day! your not really gaining alot of weight in one day. but if you weigh yourself before you eat something and after you eat something you will be able to see the difference. neither of your scales are "lying" but every scale is different and may be off by a pound or so

hope i helped!


Q: hey im 13 female and i have a pimple or zit under my bottom lip so it looks like i have a lip ring but i dont want it to iss there any tips about getting ride of it and preventing more? i was my face atleast twice a day.

**sleepiesheep**
i would say change the facewash that you are using! some face washes make your skin dry out and that doesnt help at all.. you should try ProActive.. it works great! i practically never break out anymore since i started using it

hope i helped!!

Q: okay well.. i was gonna tell this guy how i feel about him, but i got nervous. could you help me think of a way to tell him?
~ASHLEY~
first, you should start talking to him like you normally would and as one thing leads into another you'll know when the time is right to tell him and then the only thing left to do is to just tell him. it may be a bit awkward at first but youll both get over that feeling.. and who knows? maybe he likes you to!! sometimes you just gotta be brave and straight out say what your feeling

i hope i helped!

Q: im a girl. im trying to lose 10 pounds. i was just wodering what some good foods that would help/allow me to do this are. is there anything that will make it go faster or help me out more? what foods should i stay away from and what food is good when trying to lose weight? thanks.
make sure you actually eat!! the worst thing you could do is not get enough calories which slows down your metabolism. you want to eat lots of good fruits and vegetables and also make sure you get lots of protein(try chicken, or steak[not too many red meats though] and peanut butter also has alot of protein). try to exercize everyday to also boost up your metabolism. there really are no foods that you can't eat but if you do crave chocolate or whatever-- go for it! just make sure its only a little bit and dont have it everyday

i hope i helped!

Q: For my Spanish class we have to write a 28 page book (with pictures of course) Kindergarten-6th grade, we have to choose. So, which age group do you think would be best for the project, and what do you think would be fun and interesting to read if you were a kid? Thanks..
you should do kindergarten so the vocabulary is small and kids will be amused at just about anything ♥

Q: So, I'm in 8th grade (im a girl) and recently I geuss I have begun to be really good friends with a 5th grader (boy) (i go to a SMALL Catholic school in the middle of no where). Now I like him much more than a friend, but i dont know if it's wrong to like him more, or what i can do about it?.
theres nothing wrong with liking him but i think you should wait maybe a year or so before you start dating and stuff like that because he would probably feel weird about dating cuz hes only in 5th grade but if u still like him in maybe two years wen hes hit puberty, i say go for it!

Q: Hi my dog Jefferson, Great Pyrenees 10 years old died on May 5th. He had a tumor in his foot and on may 4th he didnt move and wouldnt eat. So I got really scared and thought about what could happen. Then the next morning he was outside with his tongue out of his mouth with a pool of saliva. His blinking reflexing weren't working anymore and he was breathing very shallow. Well when I got home he had died. And it was very sad for me and I cried a lot for the first 2 days. Now I just only cry when I see his hair somewhere. I really miss him and I've had him for 9 1/2 years. I dont know what to do right now because I miss him soo much and I need advice to make me feel better.
I'm so sorry. I know what you are going through. When I was little my cats were put to sleep and it was so sad. Think of it this way, Jefferson is in a better place now. Right now he is in doggy heaven thinking of you and watching over you. Although he is no longer there physically, he is there in heart and spirit. Stay strong! Whenever you see his hair, just think of all of the giid times you've had with Jefferson!!

Q: I have to give an oral presentation in fron otthe whole class, but I suck at public speaking. I start getting really red and then i start to shake and I stumble over words. Right now I am absolutly terrified at the thought of giving a speech. What can I do to overcome this fear?

Please dont give me an answer that says "you will fail everytime"
okay, to overcome your fear, practice reading outloud in front of you family or friends or read aloud in your church or watver cuz the best way to overcome a fear is to look at it straight in the eye, take a deep breath and just do it. so, in front of ur class breathe in for 5 seconds, breathe out for 5 seconds and say i can do it and you will do fine
