well im very nervous for highschool.
im sure everyone is.
but i dont want to be all shy and nervous.
i want to be outgoing! and just have fun and not worry.
any ideas on how to gain up the courage? (link)
I'm guessing your a freshman. I'm a senior and I still remember how I felt about high school when I was your age. I was scared, but I looked at it like this: I'm old enough to call myself a high school student. I'm smart enough to call myself a high school student. And I'm matured enough to call myself a high school student. You have too look at it as an accomplishment and not something to be worried, stressed, or scared about.
"This is your life, you've made it this far."
-Bon Jovi "Welcome to Wherever You Are"
(Listen to this song!)

Nothing can build your courage except yourself. I can tell you that your first year of high school is going to be amazing, but it's not unless you make it that way. It's scary, but it's not something to be worried sick about. You have to make it what you want it to be. Sitting back and letting the older kids pick at you will only make you miserable. Don't let people walk all over you and stand up for yourself. Gain some self confidence by taking a few of your best friends to help you pick out the most amazing back-to-school outfit. Trust me, self image goes a longggg way.

Also, once you start high school the peer pressure to drink, have sex, do drugs, and just plain be illegal is overwhelming. When you feel pressured step back and think what would my _____ (fill in the blank with a family member or close elder you respect) think of this. I've kept a few rules while I was in high school. A few of them, but not many of them include:
1. Stay true to myself.
2. Never do something I don't want to do just to fit in.
3. No matter what anyone says always believe that you can do anything.
4. And NEVER rely on other people to do your job.
There's a lot more than this, but these are the most important ones you should be worried about. Be strong and you'll do fine.

Good luck!

I'm making a photo album for my boyfriend before he goes on holiday. I've decorated the front with our date on it and 'i love you' down the side. I also made a heart out of a post it note and wrote cute things on bits of paper and folded them up and tucked them inside. I've got some quotes that I can put around the pictures, but has anyone got any other ideas for it? :] (link)
This may sound completely cheezey, but it will make the album just that much more personal. Put bright red lipstick on and kiss some of the pages. Yes, that does sound a little too much, but it will keep him reminded of you and the way you make him feel when you kiss him.

Write him a note. Tell him in it how much you know you're going to miss him and let him know just how much you love him. Tell him not to read it until a certain day that way it keeps him guessing and adds a sort of suspense. You could put the note behind a picture and not tell him about it until you call him while he's away. You could write several notes just expressing yourself or remembering memories you share. Put those notes around your pictures too.

Good luck!

Love,

Michael Jackson died today and he was only 50 years old. It really took me by surprise, but it wasn't as if I didn't expect it sometime fairly soon. There have been rumors flying around for some time now about his health problems. As a matter of fact, when Michael was on trial, one day he was late because of health problems. Obviously, the judge didn't feel that Michael's health was all that important because he threatened to have Michael Jackson jailed unless he made an appearance in the courtroom. Michael showed up in his pajamas. Does anyone else remember that?

People made it out to seem as if he was faking. Some people even made it seem like he was crazy and would do ANYTHING as he was suddenly "extremely unpredictable" and all. I guess he wasn't kidding or faking about having health problems, huh?

I'm going to miss Michael Jackson. He was a man who set out to hurt no one, but the world seemed hell-bent upon hurting him. Michael Jackson was seriously the King of Pop in so many ways. Maybe he's better off wherever he is since we trashed his good name without even giving him a chance to speak. I choose to believe that he is now seated up in Heaven, seeing God for the first time.

Does anyone feel like me about Michael Jackson or am I alone in this? When I was growing up Michael Jackson was such a big role model. Sure, he was a little weird but he seemed to care and love. I'm really hurt that Michael Jackson is dead :( almost like a large portion of my childhood has been abandoned. (link)
I'll be the first to admit that MJ was an amazing musician. Most musicians have the voice, but MJ had the voice, writing capabilities, and he was a true performer. He was a real artist.

Now, the rumors and scandals that surrounded his once praised name. Rumors are rumors. Rumors are something we can't prove unless cold hard evidence is in our hands. For one, we never saw a video tape proving the accusations MJ was tried for so how do we know it happened? But we also don't know that it didn't happen. It's fine with me that we will never know the truth. It's better that way. It's better because I like suspense. Scandals are things that actually happen and are out of the ordinary bad. Can anyone prove MJ did those terrible things? Only God, MJ, and his accuser know. Not you, me, or anyone else. So how can we ever tell if MJ was ever involved in the previous scandals?

Next, the uniqueness of MJ. Everyone will agree that MJ was his own person. Yes, I thought he was weird with the toy soldier jackets and one glove mysteries. But, that is what he chose to be just like I am choosing to respond to this question. He was his own character and so is everyone else so why did the world harp on his character so harshly? Because those who did harp on him, were scared to be different and saw that he wasn't. They envied him.

And lastly, you're not alone. I was never a MJ fan, but I'm a fan of music, and I know a performer/artist when I see one. And I truly believe that MJ is one of the most talented people this world will ever see. I'm sorry for the hurt you feel and for the millions of others who are hurting to.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson.

God Bless,

f-17
bf=m-17 almost 18

we've been dating 15 months going on 16 in december.
i have NO clue what to get him for Christmas.
i dont want to give him something i already have obviously so here is what i Have gotten for him.
-Cologne
-Shirt
-build-a-bear bear

Need good ideas i can spend up too $100 on him cause that about all i have. :(
i'm buying him a not so serious gift too-a mr. potato head!
so this one i want to be like not a serious but i good and semi pricey gift.

thanks! =D (link)
Okay. I know you already said you got him a shirt, but clothes are always good. If he's on the rocker side, get him what's hot with the rockers. Something like this great Ed Hardy tee.
http://www.edhardyshop.com/Men-s-V-Neck-Rope-Punk-Tee-Anarchy-Punk-in-Gree-p/m19_a8csfaaj.htm
or bargain with...
http://www.edhardyshop.com/Men-s-Flocked-Foiled-Tee-Beautiful-Ghost-in-P-p/m378-m380_a8cbaizy.htm
or bigger bargain with...
http://www.buckle.com/product/product_detail.jsp?bmUID=1227665516560&prd=43770MTSPARM&sku=4883950200&N=42+26
If he's a prep:

or bargain with...

or even...

If he's the skater:

or maybe this...

Also, if you're man has a like all time favorite band, go with that. Like I am a huge huge Bon Jovi fan. So last year my boyfriend got me a shirt, CD, and two posters of them. I loved every bit of it. And all these things I just listed here you can find great deals on them on eBay. Check there before you purchase any of the Ed Hardy stuff. And I find that guys love watches. So get him a great watch. The best watches (in my opinion) come from thebuckle.com. But for the next week look out for things you think he needs. He might even hint to you so look out for those hints. Here's another idea, get him a dog. I know that sounds crazy, but I got my boyfriend last year a dog and he loves the dog still. He takes it everywhere with him. It's sweet. But giving a boyfriend a dog means something more than just giving someone a dog. It means you are expecting to be together as long as possible. So if in any way you don't think you'll be together for a long damn time, then the dog is a bad idea. Bad idea.
Hope I helped hun,

I was just curious to know, who you want to win the election '08?

My mom and i want obama, but literally the rest of my family wants mccain. I just would like to see how many people want obama, and how many want mccain.

All answers will help :]

Thanks! (link)
I'm personally for Obama. I did a research paper/slide show on McCain and I found out he's not really a great guy. There are accounts he cheated on his first wife which is a major turn off to me. If he cheated on his first wife what is to say he isn't going to cheat on the wife he has now, start a big scandal, and give America a bad name?

Also I feel like if McCain gets president then things will all stay the same. Like Obama says we do need a change and I think he's the guy to do it.



Why is it that Christians worship Jesus more than they do God? Jesus isn't God but it almost seems that he is more important to Christians than God. (link)
I understand where you are coming from because I once asked this myself. It's hard to understand, but here is the real deal. I'm Catholic so my beliefs might be different. Keep this in mind when you recieve all of your answers.
As Catholics we believe(and I think most Christians believe this) that there is only one God. Only one man to worship. God needed at the time someone to take "rule" over Earth. So he sent Jesus. Now the special thing about Jesus is that not only was he 100% man he was also 100% God. So in a way he was like the representitive for God. There is something called the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity combines The Father (God), The Son (Jesus), and The Holy Spirit(which is like a unearthly life force.) All three of these are combined to make up God.
So to answer your question we do not worship Jesus more than God because essentially Jesus is the same person as God. This may be hard for you to grasp because it took me a whole 15 years before I actually understood it completely. Hope I answered your question. If you need more help with Chritianity I'm always here so drop one in my inbox.

Hi,
My boyfriend and I have been going out for two years on the 31st of January. He is going to be 18 in two weeks and I am 16. It is currently a very cold winter with tons of snow, so we cant do much outside. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (link)
Okay so really my best suggestion is to do something that is special to both of you. Like for example my ex boyfriend and I met at the beach. He was working at a snowcone stand. We talked a little bit and then he had a little boy give me a snowcone with his number on it. After our first date he took me to his snowcone place and we spent the rest of that night trying all sorts of different snowcones. If anything special that is like that with you guys you should come up with some way to make that your "theme" in a way.

Also, you could plan something and make him go on a scavanger hunt. In the scavanger hunt you could leave hints about things you have done together or shared together. Make him go to those places to get the next clue. Then make him end up back at his house or something where you have decorated it all out.

Remember that you will have more of a connection if it means something for the both of you instead of just going out to eat.

Hope I helped!

Okay name codes. My friend who asked us to comment his MySpace formal pictures will be called "Chris" my friend who had the conversation with me will be called "Adrienne" and "Chris'" friend shall be called "Tyson"

Okay, well Chris asked a few of his friends to comment his formal pictures, as a joke me Adrienne were having a conversation through his pictures. One of the pictures was a picture of Tyson with his hair all over his face, so me and Adrienne said the picture LOOKED emo, and we made it very clear it was a joke.

This is a while ago. Now Tyson doesn't know I exist, and I don't know anything about him other than he doesn't seem to be a very good friend towards Chris. I just got a message from him saying:

And im emo?
go back to wearing your my chemical romance shirts and wallow in the dark you chubby pathetic loser

Now, at first I felt bad he took it seriously and I was going to apologise because I really didn't mean no offense, but I don't want to give my apologies to someone who's willing to try to offend me back.

I was then going to say he's the pathetic one, you know going through my pictures to look to insult me. I know if someone insulted me I'd just forget about them (Well usually, uh in this case...maybe not) but him and Chris have been having big fights that are really doing damage to Chris' life, and I didn't want to do anything else.

So now I'm stuck as to what to say back. I'd usually ask Chris what to do, or ask Adrienne if she got a message abusing her either. But they're both on holiday so looks like I'm stuck on my own. I know I should just ignore the message, but I don't want him to think he made me so upset that I did "go wail in the corner" but at the same time I don't want to basically be like him and feel I have to try and upset him. I want to say something witty, something that will make him look stupid.
(link)
Here is what I would do...
"I didn't mean it literally. It was a joke." Then explain to Chris what happened and Chris could talk to him to conform it was a joke. And since he's being a little bitch to Chris you should probably talk to Chris about that too. Just tell him you're there for him. Anyways Tyson sounds like a jerk...you don't. So don't stoop down to his level. If he continues to try to fight with you tell someone who will do something about it and try to go on. He's a jackass.


Lately my school has been talking to us about abortion. They think it's wrong and I'm not sure about it. I'm NOT pregnant, but there are girls in my school who are and each of them has said they wish they would have had an abortion. I think it's wrong, but it could also be for the best if one was to have an abortion.

Please voice your opinions on abortion. I would love to hear everything you have to say about it. (link)
If you're big enough to have sex you are big enough to raise a child. That's how I look at it.
When I hear these stories of these poor little girls who have nothing else to do, but a abort their child I say...BS. It's not fair to your baby. That baby did chose you to be it's mom. It wanted you even though you may not want it.
I think it is 110% wrong. Keep your legs closed and you won't have to deal with having an abortion. It's WRONG people.

ABORTION=MURDER


On Yahooligans they used to have this game called "bread cutter" and you'd have to cut this bread but the germs couldn't hit the knife (or the 'line' as it was) and you had to cut all the bread in a certain amount of time.

I was just wondering does anyone have any links to it? I don't think it's on Yahooligans anymore but I tried an internet search and it doesn't seem to be anywhere. It's called 'Bread Cutter'

Thanks in advance. (link)
OMG lol that is such a fun game. It's really called breadwinner. Here's the link...

I want my hair to be shoulder-skimming with shaggy layers to thin out my hair. I'm not sure what to do with my bangs though. My hair is kind of thick, but that can be controlled with the layers. Any pictures? (link)

last year at summer camp this guy i had met several years ago and knew and is also my mom's college best friend's son started liking me. he was already with another girl but after the week dumped her because he found out i liked him. we talked and evenually dated. things weren't ever good between us because we didn't know each other as well as we should to start dating and we only got to text message maybe ten messages per day at most and never got to talk on the phone. we met up at a weekend youth rally after two months of not seeing each other. there he completely ignored me and even broke up with me. there were rumors he was cheating on me but we got that straightened out this week. i just got back from the same summer camp that got us together last year. we made up and talked some things out. things are literally better than ever - actually awesome - between us and he is wanting to get back together, according to his mom. i don't think i ever got over him because the second i saw him my stomach got butterflies and my palms started sweating. i just emailed him today because we promised to stay in touch. i haven't heard back, but i know i will soon.
what should i do? stay just friends? i still really like him and this week showed that there are still sparks between us. i really want to get back together but i'm not positive that would be best. right now we're both 15 and i'll be 16 in four months. he lives around two hours away. our families are close and if we started dating again, we would see each other about once every two months. i hope this is enough information to get some good answers, and i'm sorry if i rambled or didn't make sense. please help me with this! i want things to work but i'm not the best at doing stuff like this. thank you so much for your time! (link)
Here is my opinion on the situation. He is a little immature. You aren't. The way he just broke up with his girlfriend to go out with someone he doesn't know all that well is a little ridiculous. But props to you for getting him to do that. I'm impressed. Seeing that he broke up with his girl for another girl really soon makes me wonder if he's going to be faithful if you two do date. The whole thing with the rumors just adds to it. BUT maybe since you both have grown up since then it will work out.

Here is what I would do:

Talk to him. Tell him how you feel (you like him.) I think you should stay friends until one of you has your license. I know it's a long time, but once you get your license you can see each other a lot more and it would be better on the relationship. What if he gets sick of not seeing you and cheats on you. Then the relationship is over and you can't get back together when you get your license cause you'll still be mad at him. So hold up and get the time to know him on the phone and meet up every once in a while until you get your license. When you do get it you would of had enough time to think if you really do like him and want to be with him or if you just want a boyfriend. I say think about this situation before you jump into it.



my friends grandfather died this morning. hes really hurt. but i dont know what to say to him. im scared ill say something wrong. what should i tell him? (link)
My brother died at the age of 24 and then 3 months later my grandpa died at 75. Here is what I would have wanted someone to say to me at the time:

"I'm sorry for your loss. It must be really hard and I want you to know that I will always be there for you so you can call me or come over anytime to talk or just to hang out. Also, I'm sure your grandpa wouldn't like to see you like this but it's okay to cry for someone you loved. Hang in there and things will get better it's just going to take a long time."


FYI: I am a 20 year-old recent college grad. Both men I am referring to in this question are only slightly older than me and finishing their degrees.

"Joe" and I began dating 2 1/2 years ago. Our relationship was generally good when last summer (1 1/2 years in)he decided that he didn't want a serious girlfriend. Nothing mean or ugly, he was just being honest. I tried all summer to change his mind but finally gave. (We remained close friends.)

After dating around for a little while, I began seeing "Michael". Our relationship was somewhat rocky because we had both come out of relationships and he had been hurt many times before. During this time, Joe began to develop interest in having a relationship. I thought it over and eventually decided to try things again with Joe. (I stayed in close contact with Michael.)

Joe and I have a really easygoing relationship, but he refuses to discuss a more serious commitment. When we discuss it, he says he doesn't see us going in that direction at this point but is always careful to avoid losing me entirely. In the past few months, Michael has attempted to see other people to no avail. He is convinced that I am the only one for him. We have been getting along beatuifully, and Michael has done everything he to prove to me that we belong together. (Both are fully aware of each other and the current status.)

Michael wants me to leave Joe and become engaged to him. (He's even looking at rings.) I am seriously considering this. I love both men very much (in somewhat different ways) and could she myself happily married to either (in 2-5 years). The difference here is that Michael is willing to commit and Joe is not. Both have treated me very well; although Michael is romantic (flowers) while Joe is considerate (fixs my car). Is there any point in continuing to wait for Joe or should I leave him and accept the proposal from Micheal? (link)
It really depends on what you want. If you want that commitment than obviously you'd be better off with Michael. If you don't want that right now go with Joe. But if you are really stuck (I'm guessing you are or you wouldn't ask this) then I think you should take into consideration each of them as an individual and not as a guy you love. Think of everything that they love and what they do that makes you happy. Writing them down might be a good way to go about this. Evaluate every little detail of them and then try and come to your own conclusion of which one you want to work with.

In my opinion (just my opinion you don't have to abide by it) Michael is sincere with you on his intentions. I think Joe is sincere also, but not like Michael is. Joe may be wanting to live life a little and see all of his options before he settles down with someone. Michael already sees all of his options and has chosen you. I say respect Michael's wishes to marry someday, but if you aren't ready for marrige than you should tell him. In the long run Michael may be the better one. Joe on the other hand may be letting you live your life longer and so he may be the better one. Once again it comes down to your overall lifestyle. If it was me I would tell Michael that I'm not ready to marry, but that is something you would like later. I would simply tell Joe that I've found someone who is serious about me and I don't want to play a game the rest of my life. (Remember this is just my opinion.)

In conclusion, I think Michael would be the one that could make you happy. He seems determined and focused. To me, Joe sounds like a guy who hasn't quite found what he really loves in life and this could cause you many problems in the future. But if you come down to the decision that you want Joe more, you should tell him how you feel and see if he is ready to commit for you. If not, you still have Michael who really really does love you.


Is there going to be a new season any time soon? (link)
well i have looked around to see if there is. i have done research and all but i came up with nothing. Except that the ratings were terrible. :( so that is a factor that could have them shut it down. From this research i would have to say that i doubt it comes back on ever.


this came to mind yesterday...

is London Tipton (from suite life of zack and cody) supposed to be a mimick of Paris Hilton??

think about it-

they both have first names of famous cities, both have last names of a hotel, both are rich and famous, both are really dumb

ha ha... (link)
I'm sure it is. but the younger kids wouldn't really know that so i think that is there way of putting it out there. you know? but their a lot of similarities like that.

also one more similar thing between them.
paris has never had to work a day in her life
london has never had to work a day in her life.
so they make london do some work on a show and that's just like paris's the simple life. total similarite


can i hear your story? do you regret it? thoughts/feeling now? still in a relationship with that guy? or was it a one night stand? I'm just curiouss pleasee && thank you for readingg and respondingg =] (link)
Ummm...i lost my virginity unwillingly. it really sucked and im still dealing with the fact that I was a rape victim. it really does hurt. but here is my willing story to give up my real virginity.

It was last year. i was 14 and i had dated this guy since i was 10. kinda Boy meets world but cute in some sense. he took me to the movies...he's sixteen. we then went to dinner. when we got back to my house we randomly started making out and it led the more than just that. i don't regret it one bit for waiting on the right person. we are still together and i'm 15 now. i love him a lot. i really would have rather waited until i was married to him but it was going to happen eventually so why not then. i really do love him and he is my best friend and nothing has changed since then. our sex life isn't like we have sex everyday it's more like sex once a month maybe twice. i love him but i don't think that sex is the only way you need to do it to get your point across. hope i helped.


My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year now. We have done everything sexual except anal sex. He has always wanted to try it but from my friends experiences I'd rather not. Recently I have been thinking about it and i kind of wanted to try it but I don't know how bad it will hurt. Can anyone share there experiences or thoughts to help me decide? (link)
I've never done it. But if I were you I wouldn't.
Why?
A. My friends have done it and each one of them says it's like taking the biggest poop ever. They say it hurts terribly and is very sore later.

B. I don't like the thought of my boyfriend's penis in my butthole. You take a crap out of your butt and that would be totally embarrasing if he got some poop on his penis. Not only is that disgusting but it's dangerous and can cause many infections.

C. It is more likely that you will get an STD from this type of sex.

D. If you don't have enough lubrication then it could burn bad and make you have a rash.

Hope I helped on making your decision.


Whenever I have sex with my boyfriend I get this feeling like I REALLY need to pee. Is that normal? (link)
Totally normal. Don't worry about it. It's like when you are starting to get ready to have an orgasm your body needs to release. It's totally normal and it sucks when it happens, but next time before you have sex pee first. If it's out of your system before you have sex it won't want to release when you are having sex. Trust me this works!
