My dog just got put down. I miss her so much, how do I learn to forget about her? (link)
|
aww im so sorry to hear about your dog.
well, i dont think you should want to forget about your dog should you? i know it must be hard not having her around anymore, but maybe try, when you think about her, to think of the good times you shared with her, rather than the fact that she is gone. It will get easier with time, but grieving is totally natural. :)
hope i helped

whilst im downloading stuff from limewire, how can i prevent people from uploading things from mine as it slows my computer down? (link)
|
simply go into your control panel on limewire, and make sure the uploads allowed box is not ticked. i dont use limewire, but it should be exactly like that for it!
good luck!

if i slept with a bra on would that make my boobs stop growing?! and if it doesnt would that at least make my boobs rounder (link)
|
nope, it wont do anything to your boobs, but it can be really uncomfortable, and it isnt good to wear your bra all day and night every single day! give them a break every once in a while!

I was wondering if anybody knew a good 'wash-in, wash-out' temporary hair color product. There's this party coming up soon and all my friends want me to go blonde(my natural color's dark brown) for it, but I don't want it to be long term or even more than 2-3 days. I just need something that'll temporarily make me blonde for like 6 hours. (link)
|
first of all, seeing as your hair is dark brown, there is NO WAY wash in washout blonde hair dye will work. the colour will probably not even change, but if it does, itll go orange. DONT DO IT!! it you are goin to dye your hair blonde, you'll need to bleach it first. Ive dyed my hair many times, and ive had orange hair as a result of bad hair jobs before....and i wudnt wish it on anyone....you could get it done professionaly though! call your hairdresser and see!

i hate math...me and math will never understand each other...i always get c's on my report card...i was in tutoring but that did'nt help much....my parents give me a hard time on it all the time..and all my friends are really good at it...my parents are always saying look at my friends there doing perfect in it...wat do i do??? (link)
|
believe me, i know exactly how you feel. Im terrible at math....!
I had to take some big exams at the beginning of last year, and one was advanced maths....
my parents hired a tutor for me, and she and i worked really hard together to help me pass. I worked with her, on my own, and with my parents in order to pass, and i ended up getting an A! so it is possible, you just have to really concentrate and work until you get it!
and dont be afraid to ask your teacher, parents or a tutor for help!
good luck!! ♥

My friend is doing drugs a lot. She smokes weed every day and does ecstacy a few times a week. I have talked to her about it a lot, and she's not going to change. I don't know if I should tell her mom or do something else. So what should I do? (link)
|
I think you need to try to talk to her again. Both of those drugs can be dangerous, especially ecstasy, and she get involved in a dangerous situation, or she could OD.
If she wont listen to you, tell your parents, and ask them what they think you should do...and then go with your parents to talk to your friends parents.
She may feel like you are all ganging up on her, but she will thank you one day.
You are a true friend for caring :)
good luck!

Im 13 and i started my period about 6 months ago. i havent gotten it back since. is there something wrong? (link)
|
no nothing is wrong at all hun, dont worry!
when girls first get periods, its very often the case that they are very infrequent, and you sometimes dont get another one for up to a year! its totally normal and you have nothing to worry about. But if you are still worried, you can talk to your mom or your doctor, and they will help to reassure you even more!
hope i helped!

I got my period about noon July 4. How long should my period last? I usually go a full 7 days. Is there anything to shorten myperiod or make it go faster? I've heard all kinds of things... Doing a lot of standing/jumping, drinking water, exercise, etc. Which of these are true? (link)
|
Serious athletes who train everyday, allday, are more likely to have shorter periods, that are less frequent. But you have to really be pushing your body in order for that to happen.
Periods vary with every person, usually between 4 and 6 days. If you are in pain, exercise, drinking water, and eating chocolate does help!

well, i registered as a user to a penpal website, where you can meet people from other countries. it has been great so far! i have more penpals than i wanted, all from different places. i just started worrying today about one of my penpals... his name is emmanuel, and he is from ghana, africa. i have been talking to him over email for maybe 2-3 weeks. i sent him some pictures of america, like places i've visited and sometimes pictures of me and my friends. i do that with my other penpals and they usually send some pictures themselves.
anyway, the most recent email he sent me (today) asked about a lot of personal information -- like what school i go to, he asked for a picture of my family, what my friends name is, he told me that he desperately wants me to visit him, and he even asked for my postal address. doesn't that sound a little fishy? i mean, i've asked some things about ghana and his culture, but not things like that. he told me in scattered emails that not many people in ghana speak english or even go to school, and i noticed that his english was rather good. i didn't ask him where he learned it from, assuming his mom/dad taught him.
then today, for the heck of it, i typed his full name in on the internet and a few links came up. i went to this one site and it said that he was a 23 year old that stole 2-point-something million cedis (african $) in rice and in 1997. it also said that he was in prison for 3 years. i started worrying over this because of past experiences with meeting people over the internet.
im not sure if i should email him anymore. what should i say to him if i do? what if his name is common in africa, like smith is a common last name in america?
i havent responded to that email he sent me regarding those questions. what should i do? (link)
|
you shouldnt reply to his emails anymore. It sounds to me like hes stalking you. Delete everything from him, and if he continues to try to contact you, then tell you parents. Do NOT send him your postal address. Even if what you found on the internet isnt him, its not worth taking a chance.
good luck!

My bofriend and i have been together for about 3 months and now i'm moving I won't return his calls because I'm afraid that I'll get to close to him and break my and his heart when I leave.Am I wasting our valuable time together or am I preventing a broken heart???????????????
yours truly,
please not another broken heart (link)

I went through this kinda thing. I did what Daniel suggested, and went on one last date to say goodbye. It was hard, but we agreed to stay friends afterwards, and believe it or not we still do talk, a year on.
I think you should continue to see him until you move, and then tell him you still want to be friends after you leave. It will be hard to say goodbye, but being friends will make it easier to be apart from him.
good luck hun

Is it possible to fall in love with someone who you have only met once? :) (link)
|
it depends i guess, but i find that falling in love with someone means you have to know the person.
What you are talking about is lust, where the feeling isnt deep. However, get to know the person, and you never know!!

I need to lose weight and I love to swim. I've heard it was good exercise but i dont know what to do. I would like to lose the majority by the end of the summer. I would really appreciate anyone's help. (link)
|
Swimming is an excellent way to lose weight, as it exercises every part of your body! ive been swimming for my whole life, and can eat as much as i want as still stay slim, so i promise you it works! i swim 4 times a week for 1 hour, so you would probably only need to do about half of that. Swim as much as you can each time you go, and it will get easier each time, and you will enjoy it!
good luck

Hey, Im a 16/f and recently i stayed over and one of my guy friends house, and we were fooling around and ended up having sex, and he told me he wanted our relationship to stay as friends but still be able to do things like that. Do you think thats wrong? (link)
|
No its not wrong, as long as you want the same thing. If he is forcing you into anything, then walk away. However, i think its perfectly fine if you both want to do that!

Hi, I'm in theatre and I have an audition coming up in August for a Shakespeare play that my school is putting on. Our director is really strict and wants everything to be authentic, so for the part I need to learn a "Queen's English" accent. I tried watching a bunch of movies but whenever I actually try, it never sounds right. So I was wondering if anybody knew of any ways I could learn without having to hire a coach. (link)
|
well, i think it just takes practice. Everything you read, read it outloud in an english accent, until it begins to feel more natural. Dont make it all pompous and fake sounding, but do try and copy people such as Keira Knightley, who has a good accent.
ASk your friends to listen, and tell you what it sounds like.
Good luck in your play!

this has happened to me before, which is why i no longer use limewire ( i suggest Ares, which is a much better program)

I heard that after 3 years of going through your period, you stop growing. Is that true? I also want to know if there are any possibilities of still getting taller, because I'm a bit shorter than average height, but still want to become taller. What can I do to become more taller? (link)
|
Girls do not stop growing until they are between 18 and 21 years old, whether they have had their period for three years or not. You havent said how old you are, but if you are below the age of 18, i think you will probably grow more anyways!
ANd if you dont, you will soon be comfortable with your size! short is cute!

I'm thinking about going on the Birth Control Pill. I'm not sexually active but my periods are irregular.. and I may begin to be sexually active in the near future. I just have a few questions about it.
-How do I "bring it up" with my doctor?
-Does it actually help make your periods regular, and make your cramps not hurt as much?
-How effective is it against pregnancy?
:) (link)
|
The pill is a very effective method of contraception, but the disadvantage is that it doesn't protect against STD's, so your partner needs to wear a condom as well.
It does regulate your periods usually, and many women go on it to relieve period pains. However, it is not always effective in getting rid of pain.
As for talking to your doctor, just go for it! S/he will not find it odd at all, and will be happy you are being safe. She will suggest different types, and should have lots of leaflets for you to read about it as well!
Good luck!

Hi, i'm gonna start off saying that i'm 14 and i'm going into grade 9, i'm not that populare in my school but i'm conseterd a normal. well anyways, i have a whole bunch of mental disbiletys(spelt wrong but w/e) i have a serous Depreshion, Buy-Polar (it's a mood swing thing), Anger Problems, ADD, and some other one were i blank out lots. well i dont take any perscripton druggs for these things.. and i feel so horable everyday.. i was an abused child.. so i'm not that smart cause my head was always bashed into things. and well i cant always deal with this.. i've tryed suicide lots.. but it hasent worrked.. i was to die but yet i want to live.. i see a terapist but he isent helping.. do you guys have and ideas of something i could do to get my mind off my disorders.. or some movie about how to deal. any little thing can help... Thank You so much. (link)
|
Wow, im very sorry to hear about that. How horrible it must feel to be treated like that....
i know what you feel like though, ive been teased many times, but you know what? its just part of growing up. Everyone grows through it, and we all deal with it in different ways..
Killing yourself will not solve anything, as you'll be ending your life before its barely begun! THere are many people you can talk to about this, such as childrens helplines, or a therapists, which you are already doing. If this doesnt help, there are many books on dealing with disorders, and how to help them. Talk to your parents about buying a few of them, and maybe that might help.
There are also things that can take your mind off your disorders, such as sports, and reading books and watching tv. If you get involved in something you really enjoy, soon you will start to feel really good about yourself!
good luck hun
