Hey GUYS! I am so thrilled to be answering questions. Life is tough and I'm here to help!
advice
so my mom does pretty much everything in my house.. between taking care of me & my brother, laundry, dishes, errands, taking us places, working.. you name it. my dads always working so hes never home so pretty much she does everything on her own. and a lot of times she just breaks down crying because shes so stressed out. i really try helping by doing the dishes and trying to make her feel better .. and (attempting) to clean my room..put away my laundry.. and try to make it easier on her. but she still feels like i dont do enough and says i dont appreciate her. i really do appreciate everything she does, i love her, shes my mom. i dont know what else to do. i feel like i help out but i guess i dont do it enough.. i dont know whether its that im lazy or i do something that makes me seem like a mediocre daughter.. i know i should really help more and i try but i never have the drive to do it. and i dont know what to do. its actually really hard to explain and even when she yells i dont feel that bad. i do feel bad for it..but i just feel..like i have no feelings. and i dont know how to change it. i feel like i should be in tears every night trying to change myself and at least act more appreciative because i obviously dont show it. i dont know. the things i feel inside are sincere feelings and feelings of love and wanting to help my mom but i cant get myself to do it. its like i live on another planet and i cant control myself. i just end up thinking way too much and i waste my time and my moms..i know i should be helping my mom more . but whatever i do never seems like its enough. can someone advise me what to do?
Maybe helping out even just a little isn't enough. Have you actually told you're mom you appreciate the hard work and effort she does everyday to support and keep the family tied together? I know my own mother, when she's stressed out because she's a homemaker as well, seems the least bit stressed when I give her a hug, tell her I love her, and express my appreciation. She doesn't like it when I feel as if I have to help out because she's stressed. Sometimes, a simple, "thanks mom, you really do mean so much to me. You do an enormous amount of work and it really makes a difference" is all she might need. Continue to help out here and there. But remember, you're a student, you're job is to get an education. Help out as best you can when you can. And just tell her you love her.
For as long as I remember, I go through friends like doghnuts. I never seem to take a liking to anybody cause I always find them to be either to immature (when I mean immature I mean people that are so wrapped up in there like, that they think there life is so terrible), stuipid, too smart (the people who think they are so smart so they cn't talk to you) I just want to meet people that like to have fun, they are secure about themselves and there bodies, and don't like to showoff (Down to Earth) I am not trying to complain but I am just curious how many people have that problem. It is not like I don't get along with them, I do, it is just I don't feel my friends give me enough challenges . I just want to meet people who are very different in personality and don't have bad motives. Where can I find this??
You can't necesrily "find" it. You have to act normal, be yourself, and suggest some activities that interest not only you, but your friends right now. If this doesn't work. THere's not much to do. You could try to look around at your school for people that might interst you. Just be warned, don't go overbored with it.
Hope I helped!

im 14/f and theres this boy that i got so close with and we became such good friends and we talk about everything not matter what it is i can tell him hes always there for me but i hardly get 2 see him and im starting to like him alot what do i do?
You should just try to be yourself. Also, If you want him to notice you, try to be a little flirty. Not too obvious that he freaks out. If you can't see him a lot, call him, hang out, e-mail, text eachother. Whatever! Most importantly, like I said before, be yourself.
I hope I could help.

I'm making sponge cake this afternoon and I ran out of baking powder!!! Will baking soda substitute?! And will rum extract substitute for vanilla extract?
NO! Baking Powder and Baking Soda are very different. One of them reacts to water and other products, while the other doesn't. As for the rum and vanilla, vanilla is justa "flaoring" so I wouldn't see why not. Hope I helped

i have a lot of url codes for music and they play on windows media player. is there anyway i can get them onto a cd? it doesnt do it on windows media player so how else can i do it? thanks!!
I know what you're talking about. I've tried. First, you need blank cds/cd and a music cd burner. Follow the instructions that come with the cd burner. If you don't want to have to buy anything, there are tons of websites that allow you to burn music from them, you just have to find them. Hope I helped.

What are some good ways to maintain my current weight?
Your best bet it to eat health and exercise every other day. If you exercise every day, you will stretch your muscles too much and be very sore. On the days you don't exercise, take a long soothing walk when you are tired. Either in the morning or at night. The most effective diet is not a diet at all. You just need to follow the food chain and eat sparingly. If you see you are gaining wait but are losing sizes, it's because your muscles are growing but you are getting slimer because of all the exercise.
Hope I helped.

Put the two slices together "sandwiching" the jelly and pnut butter together
*meat sandwich
2 slices of bread

You can always write advertisement signs and post them on bulletins in libraries and maybe your neighborhood pool. Make sure you have permission first. You can post advertisements almost anywhere. Hope I helped

im a cheerleader and break out alot on my back and on my chest. i am finally done with cheerleading season, so yesterday i put a clearasil acne controll cream on my back and my chest. this morning i got out of the shower, and i was real itchy so i looked in the mirror, and i was forming a rash on my chest, and my back was real red. this had never happend to me before when i had put the acne treatment on it...can someone give me some advice, and what products work best to clear back-acne...THANKS
Eat healthy! Someone I know has the same problem. She went to her doctor and he said to eat healthy. Certain foods you eat cause you to break out. Like chocolate. There are different prescribeable creams that your doctor can give you too. See your doctor and he/she can help. Hope I helped! Eat healthy!

I have a new boyfriend and things are going great, but I can't help but shy away. I really want to get close to him, but I have been hurt before and I don't want to get hurt again. Does anyone know how to break down the walls that I have built up to protect myself? I would really appreciate it. Thanks...
It's really good that you want to protect yourself from being hurt...again. I would suggest to act as if he's your BFF. You might be able to handle that more then full-fledged BF/GF. Relax and act the way you would around friends. Just go out there and tell yourself..."I can do this! I am WONDERFUL and COURAGEOUS! Don't let all four walls down at once. Give yourself a window, then a door, then another window...etc. Make it like a house until you can finally go out of your house to feel the fresh air. If you don't understand what I mean, e-mail me and I'll help you! Hope I helped!

Okay, two of my best friendsare really good friends between themselves too, but they fight ALOT!! i try to just sit them down and talk to them, and sometimes i'm the go-between, but right now im caught in the middle. Like, at lunch today, they were in the middle of a fight, and not even sitting at the same table, and both wanted me to sit with them, but i didn't wanna choose a side, so i sat with some of my other friends, and they both got mad at me for that!! What can i do? they wont even listen to me!!
There isn't much you can do. You can go up to each person and say..."You two are in a fued and I know that you want me to side with you but I can't. I can't choose sides and I will not chose sides. YOu need to work this out for your self and learn to get along. Whether you like it or not, this is not my problem. I'm sorry." I've said that to my friends a lot and it normally ALWAYS works. Hope I helped! Let things roll.

Ok, I have the opportunity to go to this really good highschool, where you can have 2 years of college finished when you graduate and it looks better on your college application and everything.The problem is,I know some people that go there and they said that htey were straight A students, and when they got there they started making C's and D's, and that it was ALOT of stress and they never get to do anything anymore.Everybody keeps telling me to go, that I can handle it, but I don't really want to, and I'm scared to. At my school now, everything is going good, and there's a guy that I really like, and I would never get to see him again if I went to that other school. I just have no idea what to do. I don't want to give up a great opportunity, but I don't want to go either. I have alrady prayed about it, but I'm still confused. Please help! And please, no rude answers, I'm stressed enough as it is. Thanks! I'll rate!
P.S. Sorry so long!!
Well, you have a few options...
A) go and do your best, if you start to decline in grades, change back
B) go and saty do your best no matter what happens
C) stay where you are at end enjoy being a teen. (I mean...who said that going to high school WASN'T the BEST time of their lives?)
If you truely are stressed, don't go. This could put more stress on you, most people don't do well under pressure and tend to not enjoy life where they're at. I'd say option ¡C! Hope I helped!

♥ LiFe As YoU wOuLd WaNt To LoVe It!
I asked this guy out. He said no cuz he can't date till he's 16. So, is there a chance that he likes me, but just can't date. Or is it one of those lines? He flirts with me, and a few people think he likes me, and his sister told me she thinks he does.
There is defintly a chance he still likes you. I'm not allowed to date till I'm 16 either. He most likely likes you. Hope I helped!

I have to do 5 hours of community service for school and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I could do that would involve things that I like to do. Some things I like to do that might involve any kind of community service are being with little kids and dancing. Any help would be appreciated... thanks.
What about volunteering at a childrens hospital? or a Day Care.
Thats all I can think of. Hope I helped!

I am a thirteen year old female and I have a close male friend who is also thirteen. We are very good friends but we don't have any type of sexual relationship at all. Today we were having a discussion about soul mates and I decided that I think that he might be my soul mate, as in a friend not a lover. My question is, do you think it is possible to find your soul mate at thirteen? We are really good friends, I tell him everything and we are always together.
Of COURSE! You just have to follow your heart! Hope I helped!

I broke up with my boyfriend because he was slacking off on his school work and getting in trouble. But other than those things, I still really like him. I can't get over him! Today we hung out and had a lot of fun. I think want him back but I'm scared to ask. And what about the reason I broke up with him in the 1st place? Has anyone got any ideas on what I should do?
Well, I would say to go for it. Get closer to him if you like him. Maybe, if you encourage him, he'll work harder to do better in school. It sounds like you really dig him, so again, go for it and have fun with him. Hope I helped!

I lovee guys.. but the problem is that every guy i'ver ever liked never liked me... i talk to my crush or w/e and he doesn't like me cause he thinks im ugly or sumthing.. what should i do?
Guys don't know an ugly girl from a pretty girl. That's what its been like since the beginning of time. A guy should take the time to get to know a person before they say she is ugly. It's rude. Are you positive he thinks you're ugly. Maybe he says that so you'll notice him. It depends. All you need to do is be yourself and have guys like you for your personality, not for your looks. Hope I helped!

Well there is this girl i like and we are really good friends and i want to ask her out but i dont know if her parents let her date im in 8th grade so i dont know if i should ask her out i dont want to make our friend ship all akward please help...
If your not sure, just ask her. It never hurts to try. Even if she's not allowed to date, there's still a chance that she will like you. If you don't want an awkward friendship, then don't ask her out. Friends last a lifetime. I still say to give it a chance! Hope I helped!
