Well there are just a few thing I want you all to be considerate of before we begin. First of all I want to remain anonymous so please do not ask me for e-mail or any other personal information. Secondly, considering the world is full of many different people with each thier own wonderful, unique opinions please realize that we will not always agree. I will try my best to help you as best to my abilities. This is all I can offer. If that's cool with you go right ahead. My inbox is waiting!

...I want world peace. Anyone with me?
Completly! One way I've thought to bring this about is to treat our animals with more respect. I am what some people call vegan (I eat no animal products-meat, milk, eggs,ect.). I also try to promote this way of living. If you might be interested a great book to start with is "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins or check out veganoutreach.org or earthsave.org . There are a lot of charities that you can get involved in that will help you take baby steps for world peace even though one cannot do it all. I am glad others are thinking this way. It is really important to stop all the hate in the world today. And like Ghandi put it "Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature." There will be others who agree. Just in your life do all you can to affect the world in a positive way.
so after watching tv today, i saw a slew of comercials that were the final straw. i've had enough of the idea that sex and stars sell...so i'm going to ween myself off pepsi and coke, m&m's and lays, colgate and oral-b, and go for non-commercial stuff...not because i think it's really going to make a difference...but just so i have a clear concience or w/e...so living in a small town, what is there for me to buy? i'll probably end up eating healthier, since there's really only healthy food here that isn't comericalized with all that shit...so suggestions on what i can do for food, without traveling, and without freeking out my parents would be nice...thanks
oh and i guess it's possible i'm going a bit over board, but i do that...did that with carl's jr. and one of their commercials too...ya...
Well, I'm vegan (which means I eat no animal products-meat,milk,eggs,ect.) and thier are a lot of GREAT food, cosmetics, and tons of other cruelty-free products out there that I am into. None of them are highly advertised or use sex to sell them. They are strictly for people who care about the enviroment and animals. I'll bet you could find a few things you might be interested in. Here is a site: veganessentials.com
It mainly just depends on what type of stuff you wanna buy (food, makeup, watches, clothes,ect.) If you want more sites or companies, feel completly free to ask another question in my inbox. I would be very happy to help. :)
does ne one know a song that's like
"I can see you"
...
"Summer of.."
that's all i really know of it. it's a guy rock band.
I think that song might be by the Ataris, called "The Boys of Summer". Here is the chorus so you can make sure:
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
You can go to thier website: theataris.com and listen to that and many other songs on thier album. Hope this helps :)
hi every one......im Tripp...and im in a band...and we REALLY suck ass....we practice like every day and shit...but we still suck like really bad....so if u know n e thing else we could do....tell me.
Hey! Everyone gets inspired by different things. Not one is bad or good,they just are. If everyone in the band is just 'not feeling it' then maybe you should get together and name a few bands and groups that you like. Try to identify what type of sound you want. Once everyone agrees, figure out a way you can turn what you may see as a flaw into something artistic. For example, screaming is used in rock music a lot and some may view that as a flaw but it's artistic if used correctly anddone properly. Be proud of what you are doing. Music is about expressing yourself. Hope this helps. :)

i went to am-i-fat.com just to see what it would say and it said that im emaciated, but i want to lose weight. do u think im anerexic? what should i do? thnx
Those sites are not to be trusted. Seriously, they aren't. If you are worried about your weight ask your doctor. He will evaluate your health in the proper way and not just by weight and height. Another thing you should rember, everything is beautiful. Everyone is beautiful. Love yourself whatever size you are and take care of your body and the problem will practically solve itself.
Hmm. KK im 134 and im not even 5 feet is that fat. i think im fat. all my frined says that im not but there my friends. and i have been going around and stuff and a normal weight for a 5 foot person is 98-128 hmm i dunno.. paranoid..
and i just get a sick feeling knowing im like 6 pounds more. maybe lose the six pounds??
in other words im not comftable with being me
The most important thing to do is be comfortable with yourself at any weight or size. Everyone carries thier weight differently. Muscle does weigh more than fat. Do not feel bad about your weight or size. That is not to say don't excercise though. Everyone needs some form of excercise and everyone needs to eatas healthy as possible. I ampersonally vegan or "pure vegitarian'. If you want to look into the health benefits for that you can try going to veganoutreach.org or reading one of my favorite books, 'Diet for a New Americs' by John Robbins. Whatever you do, though be happy with who you are. Everything in life is beautiful. People need to learn that. Hope this helps. :)
I have a friend who I like very much, but who has a habbit of asking me to call her because she's feeling low at really incovenient times. I want to be there for her, but it becomes problematic when I feel I can't fairly say no when she asks me to call for a few minutes because she's feeling low, even it's like 1am. If it really was a few minutes, it would be fine, but once she has me on the phone she's impossible to let go, because every time I talk about having to be up in the morning she talks about how people always seem to let her down when she needs them. I do want to be there for her, but I do need to sleep too, and I simply can't survive on talking till 2am or later every night to get up at 7am. How can I be firm about needing to get off the phone without offending her?
It seems like she is very dependent and needs to talk very often. Don't be rude to her, but when she calls and you can't talk long here is a trick you might try. Tell her everytime she needs to let out some steam to write it in a notebook and give it to you the next day. That should give you plenty of time to be able to slip helpingyour friend out in around your own schedule. It will also leave you with a huge scrapbook of your conversations. This method will also help your friend see how much she is really talking and might make her a little more considerate. If this doesn't help try scheduling a time (like about from 8-10) that she can talk so that she'll have reassurance that if she doesn't finish one day that she can get it out the next. Hope this helps.
So, My really good friend just commited suicide and I really wanna read up on reancarnation. Does anyone know any really good books about that?
I am so sorry. I can imagine this is very, very difficult. I understand this isn't something you can just "get over". Time will help, though that seems untrue right now. I believe everything happens for some type of reason. Though things seem horrible now, they won't forever. You might even figure out the reason all of this happened. Learn from it, since it's not something I know how to change. If none of my words are helping, I want to tell you a story. I once had this beautiful cat named Burrito who was hit by a car on February Friday the 13 of this year. I am not "over it" and will never be since he was like my child, but a series of events brought about a wonderful change for me. When I began thinking about death, I was able to pinpoint what I thought were pointless deaths and now I eat absolutly no animal products (meat, cheese, milk, eggs,ect). It was such an empowering thing for me. I've never quite beenthe same. Though it wasn't fair for this to happen, something beautiful did come from it. You will have all types of experiences in life- good and bad. If you try your hardest to make a difference the positive events will naturally come out.
Is there anything bad for you in Diet Sodas? I know they say regular sodas are bad for you because they have so much sugar, but since diet sodas have none, does that mean they're fine for you? Is it okay if you have one or more a day? Or is there other bad stuff for you in there?
Yes. There is a sugar replacement calles Aspartame that many people believe can cause brain tumors. If you want a soda or a diet soda I wouldn't drink morthan one a day (maybe not even that). I stay completly away from sodas and I feel so much betterfor it. Hope this helps :)
im peeing sooo much lately lke im talking like 3 times perhour
whats wrong with me? i jus got treated for a bladder infection???
It is probably just your system trying to get all the bacteria or "bad stuff" out. As long as you drink plenty of water you should be fine. If it ever starts to hurt, though,you might need to go back to your doctor. Try also cutting down on salty foods. Keep drinking water!!!!! Hope this will help :)
Hi, I'm a 15/F. I guess you could say I have like average self esteem. Some days I think I look SO adorable. But other days I hate everything about myself. For example: I bought a shirt and when I tried it on I loved it , then I tried it on at home and I thought it made me look horrible. Does anyone know why this happens to me & what I could do to fix it ? Thanks in advance.
The best thing to do is find the things that make you feel good about yourself and do them every chance you can. Also it might help to use affirmations (I am Beautiful, I am Smart,ect.). Think of every negative statement you tell yourself and turn it into a positive statement. This will also help youfind the good in everything and everyone. Just remeber, everything is beautiful in life. You just have to see it! And you will,just keep your thoughts positive. Hope this helps :)
im asking this question for my friend ... a few months ago she wanted to be homeschooled ... then she found this really nice boarding school that she liked A LOT! so she requested information and things of that sort on teh internet and things like that...well she was sure her mom was going 2 say yes...well her mom said that it was A LOT of money 2 pay especially shes one of four kids...four girls...so it kinda sux for her! i feel really badly for her and she asked me 2 write this...she cant go to the boarding school or homeschooled and she doesn't want to go 2 public/private school because in her area...they judge you at pub. and private school...
PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HER AND ME!!
AND AGAIN PLEASE HELP!!
Take it from someone with experience, homeschool is wonderful. I've been in public schools my whole life and just last year I was pulled out to homeschool. My reasons were similiar to your friends. Sure, I do agree everywhere you go people will judge you but that doesn't mean you haveto try and learn in that negative and distracting enviroment. Tell your friend to explain all of her reasons to her parents for her educational choice. She will need to be very mature about it and give them the facts. Don't raise your voice or yell and try to be very calm even if they don't understand the reasons just quite yet. I hope she finds the best form of education for her. :)
How do you de-stress?? I have been having the worst stressful days and I have been having horrible headaches as a result. I need to destress.
It might help trying to find out when things get stressed out for you. If you have trouble with this, just remeber life is good. Sure, problems do occur but if you make what you can out of life, it is good. There is so much to be happy about. Positive attitudes seem to help me with stress. Another thing you might try is drinking lots of water, getting lots of sleep, and treating yourself to plenty of free-time to do whatever you want. Be sure it is something you enjoy and that will help you relax. Excercise, believe it or not might help as well especially yoga or something focused on smooth and easy breathing. If all else fails try a movie night with chocalate and one of your most understanding friends. That usually helps me. Hope everything turns out really well for you. If you want more tips, you can always ask me for some more advice. And remeber this: you can always change the effect of a stressful situation by turning into something you can laugh about- taking a positive approach might also help you solve problems to prevent whatever may be causing stress-outs. :) Warm tea also does the trick. Hope this will help you.
if ur on a like salad andvegie fruit diet and if u ate a lil btit of cereal like at 12 can u gain a lil bit of weight...im trying to eat every 4 hours
It isn't very smart to eat like this. You need carbs and protien for energy. If you are concerned with your weight try eating no meat (since it is high in cholesterol) and eating only wheat or darker colored breads. The way you are eating might actually slow your metabolism down even though you are eating every four hours. If you want to try eating like this you can visit veganoutreach.org and apply for a free vegitarian starter kit. Hope this has helped. :)
Okay my little brother is sooo picky when it comes to eating. he doesnt eat meat what so ever. he lives off of chips and captain cruch cerial! Oh and I cant forget about candy! My point being is he eats all this junk and hes not chubby for his age and height. I know hes only 7 years old but still how can u NOT be chubby and eat junk food everyday. Its not like he runs around cuz hes always in the house playing video games haha. Here I am busting my butt off trying to lose weight because im 16 yrs old weigh 115 lbs and im 5'4". How is this? Should I be a vegitarrian like him?
There is nothing wrong with being vegitarian. I am what some would say "pure vegitarian" (or vegan) which mean I don't eat any animal products (milk, eggs, cheese, ect.). I am much more healthy and happy for it. It is however important to get a balanced diet (fruits, veggies, other forms of protein-soy,nuts,beans). Second of all, your weight is fine according to self.com 's BMI test. Though you might feel better and benefit from a vegitarian/vegan diet. I know I have. And the extra added bonus- you will have this new outlook on animals in the food industry. Research the matter. A great book to start with is called 'Diet for A New America' by John Robbins. You will most likly feel empowered if you choose to eat this way. Hope this will help you make a few choices. :)
i like cheerleading and i tried this website and it went to a cheer-porno website so i clicked out but now all these popups are coming up and its been like 3 days so how do i get the porno pop ups to stop without getting a popup blocker?
I would try getting Spybot. It gets rid of a lot of bad popups that were downloaded on your computer. As far as I know it is free, as well. I've been to some of those sites accidently as well and spybot cleared the popups away. Hope I've helped you. :)
I heard that if you eat 6 small meals a day, instead of 3 big its better for you. Any truth to this?
yes, I've heard the same thing. It speeds up your metabolism and helps with digestion. The only thing you need to make sure of is that you eat the same amount (or a normal amount) just split into different intervals of the day. Hope this helps you. :)
I know you can never have too much love for a pet, but after you meet my friend you probably won't want to see another cat again... my friend is always talking about who, what, when, where, why, about her CAT! It's driving me crazy! Whenever she stops talking about guys she's always on to talking about her cat. I need so major advice to help me to avoid her talking about her pets!
Signed, Someone who never wants to see a cat again!
She is simply showing her compassion for her pet. this is a wonderful thing, however if it is really bugging you tell her. Talking things out can solve a lot of problems. listen carefully to what she has to say and try to be sensitive and patient. If all else fails simply change the subject but try not to bitter or to hold grudges- that helps NO one.
I want to get a pet SOOOO bad but i cant convince my parents ive done the research i have all the money i have threee of the best dogs to choose from but they still wont let me
Actions speak louder than words. It might be wise to give them proof. Help one of your neighbors or friends walk thier dogs. You can even make a folder of rcomendations if you help enough people. When you are buying your dog, I would try and get him/her from the pound since many are killed thier daily. That compassionate descision alone might help your chances of convincing them. Parents really do care. Also try and listen to thier reasons for not wanting a dog. Be very mature and considerate. Hope this helps :)
