I am a single monthe of three children. My daughter is 6 and my twin boys are 4. I have been through hell and back in the last 8 years with my children's father , but now my children and I are in a good place in our heads. For all mothers out there single or not you have the hardest job that you will ever have in your life. It's hard and frustrating at times but it's well worth it.

I really dont think im depressed.
I'm a really happy cheery person
I'm basicly like a cheerleader that doesnt cheer lead. I have a million friends and a wonderful boyfriend. However, i have anger problems... i get angry at tiny tiny things but i dont let anyone know im angry it just eats me up inside untill i get home and can cry it out. I hate being like this because i pretend everythings okay, so that if people ask me whats wrong i dont have to say the dumb thing. Sometimes I just want to break down and cry. I really dont think it's PMS beacuse its way worse than that.
xox. thanks (link)

I know exactly how you are feeling because I was like that. Now at 27 I am just starting to change. It's hard to tell people your feelings if you are not the kind of person who likes to open up. I always said showing emotions was a sign of weakness. I would punch walls and take things out on my close family members cause that was who I felt most comfortable with. Through the years I've learned to try to let things out and not keep it all bottled up. You are only hurting yourself by doing this. If you are feeling down and somebody asks you what is wrong try to tell them. They wouldn't ask you if they didn't really care. It might be something that you think is stupid but it will feel much better once you talk to somebody about it and get it off your chest. You could also try to write down the things that are bothering you, kind of like a journal. Everytime something comes up that pisses you off grab a pen and paper and write. I have written 5-6 pages before and not even noticed until I was done, and it might help you. I hope I helped you a lil bit :-)

Ohk , i have Verizon but right now I'm not very pleased on their phone selection. I really like a few phones from other carriers. Is it possible to buy a phone at face value from another carrier and use it on Verizon? Is it limited to only a few carriers? I'm sorry , but i REALLY need to know. Thanks in advance!!

I believe each company has their own phones. If your phone has a sim card in it and you get another phone that uses a sim card then you could use it. I don't think verizon uses sim cards tho, but I am not 100% sure. Did you go on verizon's website and see what phones they have on there? Also if it is near the end of your contract you could just wait it out and start with a new company.

Everybody has different symptoms during pregnancy. The most important one is how late is your period? If you usually have regular periods and your schedule is always on time, but now yu are late, then I would take a test or see a doctor. If you are 5 or maore days late and you are usually regular then definately see someone. I have 3 kids and I had 2 miscarriages, with all of my pregnancies I was very nauseaus and constantly vomiting. Your breasts might be tender and swollen. I would get to the doctor right away and find out for sure. Good luck :-)

I'm really bored.I like to try new things and start fun projects like combining archietecture,photoghraphy and sculpture into a single art work.I just want to have fun.Please could you think of something fun for me to do.Any suggestions are appreciated. (link)

It sounds like your are off to a good start with your interests. Winter is a great time to take pictures in my opinion. You could go to a park or just out in your neighborhood on a snowy day, depending on where you live, and take some nice black and white photos. You could make a collage out of all of your photos, or even a scrapbook, or like a memory book for one single occasion. You could go to a craft store and buy some new supplies or get some ideas out of books that they have there. You could also try to take up something new. It sounds like you are crafty and artsy. You could try knitting or crotcheting, I know it sounds corny, but it is very soothing. I used to make blankets when I was bored when I was around 15-16 years old. If you have a Michael's arts and crafts store around you, they are always having free classes or classes for a small fee. Also for just plain old fun grab some friends and do something like movies, bowling, ice or roller skating. There's a million different things to pass the time. I hope this helped you a lil bit:-)

I like this guy who likes me back. Only problem is, he has a girlfriend. He cheated on her with me, and we were hooking up for a couple weeks. Then we talked about it all and he said "im confused, because i mean i love my girlfriend but then i see you, and i like you too. i dont think we should hook up until i know whats going on with her." so i left it at that. i was really upset for the next few days. we still talk, and i saw him the other night and he was standing behind me with his arms around me. little things he does makes me know he cares. but i dont know what to make of it. he tells me he misses me, and he was sad today when he said that he doesnt think i still like him because i dont call him or IM him all the time. i told him i dont want to be a pain. i miss him so much, and i know he misses me. but whats the deal..? sorry this is so long (link)

You do not need to be the girl who broke up him and his girlfriend. Stop doing anything with him while he has a g/f. I know it will be hard but it's what you need to do. Trust me I've been there. If you let him mess with you while he has a girl then he will think he can always go to you when he's bored with his current girl or when he's bored and she's not around. You need to tell him, "I wouldn't want a girl messing with my boyfriend, so I'm not gonna help you cheat on your girl. I will still be friends with you, but we are not kissing or anything else. When you break up with your girl, then we can do that if you want to be my b/f." He needs to get his head together and stop thinking that he can have his cake and eat it too. I hope this helped you :-)

i used to be extremely social at home..always calling people..always wanting to talk to my friends on aim..but lately i just feel like sleeping or listening to music in my room and when i get on aim theres only a couple people i ever even want to talk to and when im on the phone im usually wanting to get off (besides with one guy) i dont even call people often anymore because i never feel like it..could this be a sign of anything? (link)
| |
It may or may not be a sign of anything. Most people go through a lil phase of wanting to be alone. It's how long it goes on for that you need to be aware of. If you never want to be around people or talk to people and it's been going on for a while or continues to go on for a while then there may be a problem. Is there anything that you have been depressed over lately? Or maybe you are just tired of being with the same poeple and doing the same things. Talk to your mom or another family member your are close to. You could also talk to a counselor at school about what is going on. I hope you feel better :-)

um yeah this may sound stupid but here it goes... um me and my gf (im 14/m) were woundering is it safe to eat lube that is flavoured like not to just like eat it bottle after bottle but like rub it on her vagina or my penis and lick/ suck it off? any ansers will help thanx!!!! (link)
| |
It's flavored so it tastes good when you lick it. I wouldn't recommend putting it on her vagina unless it says on the bottle that it can be used for that. Not all lubes are safe for that area and may cause infections, so make sure you read the bottle before use.

where do they sell pink PSP's besides ebay? (link)
| |
ok I've been seaching all over the internet for an answer to your question. From what I can find Sony still has no plans to release the pink psp or pink ps2 in the u.s. I have no idea why and I can't find a reason why. You can order them from Europe but while all the games will work on it all u.s. movies will not work. I'm sure soon enough they will release one. If you can wait I'd save my money from getting one overseas and wait till they release it here so you know everything will work on it.

I have so many questions about cheerleading and now that you told me you were a coach, I'd like to know what they're looking for! What do the coaches like that stand out? And about when you're cheering, the positions for your hands? Is it always a certain way, or what?
(link)
| |
All coaches are different. Almost all coaches will give you a chance even if your are not perfect but they see that you are willing to try very hard to learn what you need to know. You should always have a smile on your face. If something is too hard for you don't say I can't do it. Just try your hardest. No coach likes a negative additude. Be as loud as you can it's not a time to be shy at all. When I was in 8th grade I was already on the team since 5th grade but we all had to try out every year. It was my turn to stand up and do the routine by myself and the room was dead quiet, just as I stood up I farted really loud, so embarassing, I was mortified, but I stood up like nothing happened and did my routine. When I got home is when I let the embarassment kick in. It was horrible. I hope nothing like that happens to you, but I just wanna let you know that things happen and you can't let them get to you. Don't worry about what the other girls say to you. If they tell you you're not as good as them and you probably won't make it, that's probably jealousy on their part. I've seen it happen and had it happen. Also find girls on the squad who have cheered before and ask them if they can help you before tryouts so you have an idea of what to do. Always keep your body and arms stick straight. NO floppy arms in cheerleading, that just looks sloppy.On my squads we always kept oun hands in fists on our hips when standing, it just looks nicer when everyone has their arms the same. Keep your elbows touching or close to touching your body while clapping don't let your arms flail all over the place. Again all squads are different but relatively the same. If there is anything else you want to know just send me a message.

any advice on how to get a split, fast?
i need one by april.
and a toe touch, i need that by april too.
does any of you know how to make one quickly? stretches for it. PLEASE know what you're saying when you answer, it'd sure help.
(link)

I was a cheerleader for 8 years and a jv coach for 3 years. My 5 year old has done 1 year of cheerleading and been dancing since she was 2. There are a few stretches you can do to help your split. Sit on the floor in a straddle. Make sure your legs are straddled as fas as possible without hurting badly. Stretch your body to the right with your arms over your head and your torso and head laying on your leg grab your toes with your hands and holde this for a count 20. Repeat with the left side. Then stretch out in front, the same way with your arms stretched as far in front of you as possible. Eventually you will be able to lay flat on the floor doing this. Do this just a few times a day. You will feel a lil pulling and burning don't overdo it or you will pull something. If you don't usually stretch you will be sore the first few days. Keep practicing your split and see how much closer you are getting to the ground everyday. You can also have someone gently push on your back while doing your split but not hard just very slightly and it will stretch you out more. Also while standing up have someone stretch your leg in the air. It's best to stand against a wall when doing this again do this gently so you don't pull anything. As for your toe touch these stretches help with splits and straddles and you need a straddle for a toe touch. When I was cheerleading we did 2 lil hops b4 the toetouch, this helped us get more height i don't know how but it worked. Start practicing by doing this then you will eventually be able to do it stcnding and going into a toetouch on first jump. Keep your back straight when doing this jump. Don't bend your body to your toes, bring your toes up to your bady. Also practicing on a trampoline if possible is a great help. You should have your split and toe touch way before April if your practice enough. Good luck :-)

hello, i have a question.. we all no that at the start of a relationship that its great, all the attention and excitment.. but wat about in 6 months time. ive goten my relationship to 7 months now, and most the affection has stopped the little things he used to do has stopped and i asked him if he was only geniunly happy to see me after he haddent seen me in a while.. he went quiet, then i felt bad for asking.. he said that were different, but he still felt the same. he said that he gets excited over fishing and camping, thats wat he loves the most. so is that giving me the hint that im not the right girl for him or is it just something else..how do i fix this situation? i dont no where hes coming from. please help im so confused.
thankyou (link)

First of all you need to think about how you feel. Are your feelings for this guy stating to fade? Almost all relationships hit a bump in the road somewhere. How often do you two see each other? Do you spend too much time together? If that's the case maybe you two need some time apart doing your own things so you aren't tired of being together. If he likes fishing and camping so much ask if you could go with him sometimes and then have him go somewhere with you doing what you like to do. Also most importantly talk to him about how you feel. Tell him you don't want to upset him but he needs to know how you feel. Stick it out a lil bit longer, and then follow your heart. Don't stay in a relationship that makes you miserable.

This guy at school asked me out last week to hang out. We hung out and I ended up having a great time. But then a few days laer at school, his friend asked me an inappropriate question about how far we have gone. I feel like this guy that likes me just wants to see how far he can get with me. He also doesn't talk with me at school, until his friend asks him if we're still together, then he will go up to me to talk. He chooses to talk to his girl friends before me. It's also very awkward on the phone, because we run out of things to say to eachother a lot, and I thought a relationship sounded nice, but I feel like we would just be better off as friends. How should I deal with this, because his sister told me he really likes me a lot and had a really fun time with me.

He could really like you, but be embarassed. Guys at this age can act really wierd with their feelings. He might worry too much about what his friends think. His friends could be, and probably are, making fun of him and giving him a hard time, because that's what teenage boys do. As far as his friend asking you how far you two have gone, tell him to mind his own damn business. If you really like him I would stick it out a little longer and see how it goes. If he does try to go further then you are comfortable going just tell him to lay off, you are not ready for that. If he really does like you he will respect you and take it slow. Phone convos can be awkward, especially when you are just starting to get to know somebody, just think of a few topics to talk about before he calls to keep it flowing a lil bit. And if it gets too awkward say your mom is calling you and you have to go. I hope this helped you out :-)

Hey,
OK well I guess I'll cut straight to the chase.
I want to do softball, but I am stuck...
[It would be for our school, so it wouldn't be during the summer]
My dad has been out of work & doesn't drive due to epilepsy and my mom is always working. One of my grandma drives, and the other one sort of does, but only in remotely close locations. (She has picked up my brother when he was sick before [at our school]).
My mom works a weird schedule:
~Monday she works 9-3.30
~Tuesday she works 10-8.30
~Wednesday she works 9-3.30
~Thursday she works 9-3.30
~Friday she works 12-3.30
Another person that would be on the softball team lives right behind me. However, I do not know her that well and would somewhat feel funny asking her to drive me home.
My friend could probably give me rides at times, and there are 2 seniors on the team (who, from word of mouth, are mean!)
I would always have to be picked up back at our school, no matter what time.
I also am not sure if I could do it because even without sports, my grades aren't so good, & I'm afraid they'd be even WORSE if I do something extracurricular.
I really want to do softball, but I'm not sure if I should...
So my question is, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!?
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.
-PS. I am a Freshman 14F if that helps any.
Thanks in advance...

Looking at your mom's schedule, she is done by 3:30 everday except Tuesday. Softball would run until after this time. Would your mom be able to pick you up after work? On Tuesdays you could arrange for a ride home. Talk to the coach and tell him your situation, maybe he or she could talk to another girl on the team to help you out. Also about your grades, that is more important then softball. Some schools require a certin GPA to be on sports teams. Just try to buckle down on your school work. Try to do your homework and studying right after you get home from practice because if you sit around for a while you are going to get tired and not feel like getting around to your school work. Hope this helped :-)

what are some attractions in or near hershey, pennsylvania??? (besides hershey park) (link)
| |
I'm from Philadelphia, did you ever consider driving into the city for a day? There is plenty to do. If that is too far of a drive try Lancaster and any of the communities around there. It's not all Amish people there's other things to see and do. I have a book called wierd PA, they have a web site just seach wierd PA, it has all sorts of different things to do in every part of the state. It has things ranging from ghost sightings at reportedly haunted places, wierd things to look at like giant statues, and museums in the area. It's a great lil website and the book is even better. I hope this help you a lil bit.

Ok, so see i like this boy but i dont think he even likes me and i dont even think he notices me...so me and my ex b/f keep "hooking up" but i doesnt feel right anymore what should i do? (link)
| |
If hooking up with your ex doesn't feel right anymore then you need to end it. As far as the guy you like, do you have a mutual friend that can casually ask him if he likes you? Try talking to him, you can simply say hi when you pass him and see if he responds. You could make up some excuse if your in school with him tell him you forgot a book at home and if you can use his, there's a million different things you can say to start a conversation with him. If he isn't interested oh well, there's plenty more guys out there. Don't waste all your time trying to get one guy to notice you because you might miss another one who is interested.

Is it ok if I painted my room right now in January? Some people say because of the smell to wait until summer. Which is best? And Can I paint it in the winter? (link)
| |
I actually prefer painting in the winter. In the summer the humidity can make the paint tacky to the touch and take a lil longer to dry. Just crack open the window a bit after you paint and don't sleep there until the smell fades.

I need help to find a sample of a babbysitting ad.
What if my parents work and the job is out of my neighborhood?
(link)
| |
As far as the ad, I always used word of mouth. It worked great for me I had jobs after school, on weekends, I had to turn away jobs. As far as it being out of your neighborhood, whenever I babysat for someone out of my neighborhood they drove me to and from my house. Without a pay cut for gas. You are doing them a favor, it is hard to get good babysitters. I am now a mother of 3. I am a single mother so it is not very easy for me to load up 3 kids in the car at the end of the night to drive home a babysitter, but I always make sure they have a ride. If one of my brothers can take them, or if I was out with a friend I have them drive them home for me. Just make sure you tell the parents before you babysit that you will need a ride. And don't offer gas money, or offer to have it taken out of your pay. Most parents would never even think of this, so don't put the idea in their head.

Why would a cat start pooping next to the litter box instead of inside of it. I have two cats, but just the female is doing this. (link)
| |
I kept two kittens from my cats litter and one of them would not use the litter box. I got her a separate litter box and thought that would help. Some cats are very perticular about sharing a litter box. Think about it, would you want to poop in the toilet that somebody else just pooped in without flushing? Anyway my cat was still pooping behind the dryer and I noticed that the other kitten was using her litter box so I moved it to another part of the house and kept taking the other kitten away from the box, now the one kitten and her mom share one box just fine, and the other kitten uses her own box just fine.

ok i need help deciding what sport to play in the spring, sports are required at my school and i can't decide whether to play softball or lacrosse, I've never played either. I'm pretty fast, a good athlete. The softball team has really cool people on it, like my bestfriend and other people i like, plus the coach is really good, he wants me to play. LAcrosse seems more of a sport for me because it's a lot of running rather than strategy but i can't decide! also, lacrosse i don't like the people on the team as much, but i do have some friends on it, and there is one girl who plays who is such a self absorbed ball hog and that frustrates me.
I can't decide, I want to do something that would be fun, not boring, and a good sport for me. HELP PLEASE
I need some advice from people who have played either or both, thanks, i'll rate you 5 even if i don't agree with your advice, please i just need some insight (link)
| |
Don't base our decision on which team you have the most friends on. That might work agaginst you cause you might have a lil too much fun and not be as much into the game. As far as not liking the people on the lacrosse team, sports teams usually form a bond since they depend on each other to win their games. Just do what you think you will have the most fun playing, and if you don't like it try the other team next year. I myself played softball for years, I was used to playing baseball in the streets with the guys when I was younger so I joined a softball team. I loved it.

ok,well im going for a hair cut tomarrow at 2,and i know i want a cut with layers,and angles and trim the side bangs. like you know,the cut thats "in" right now. but i dont know how do say the layers part. not the really choppy,not to little. Just layers,but where to people usually have there layers start? the person thats cutting it has a tendency to be really safe. so im kinda scared. also my hair is a little under my chest,so you think i should cut it above my chest[so it lays just above it]? If you got this cut,what did you say? another thing,(totaly random but...) where can i get cute headbands that are cheap? thanks! (link)
| |
I have been getting layers cut into my hair for years now. I just had it cut last week after not having it done for a year and my hair was at my waist. I personally like long hair so I always tell the hairdresser make sure my shortest layer is between my chin and shoulders, if you want it long keep stessing long layers and tell them where you want the shortest one now the longest one. As for the headbands did you try Claire's? That's where I get them for me and my daughter. There's one in every mall.
