It's almost xmas, and I don't have any gifts for my family. And worse of all, I can't go out and get gifts for them because I'm broke. Does anyone have any ideas how I can "make" a gift for my family? [I have one bro, 19, two parents, age unknown, and one sister, age 21.] If anyone could think of creative fun things I could make out of house hold items, I'd love you forever.

i once was in the same situation. what i did was take either a poster or you could also take a box, and i cut and glued pictures of loving memories all of my family shared.for example your first b.day or a picture of your pet and you.remeber these are just eexamples.ps:be as creative as possible.


my friend and i just started talking again and i am asking like how skool is going for her and how she has been! but all her answers are just "good"! how do i get her to talk more? (link)
well, this happened to me to. what i did was i found a new friend,anyway i didnt mean to but with my new friend i made her jelous,and before i knew it she was talking to me again. and we apoligized for not talking to each other and to this day were best friends.


There's this guy at my school that I really like, and think I am in love with (I have thought this for YEARS). But I'm afraid to start anything with him because he has kind of been the center of many jokes between me and my friends, and he's not exactly the hottest guy on earth lol. He is kind of short, in fact, I think I'm taller than him. But he's kind of cute in a way and I really like his personality. I know I could probably get a hotter guy, but for some reason I feel like he is the only one I could be happy with. But I am afraid of what my friends will think if I tell them I like him. So what should I do? (link)
if your friends are your real friends they won't say anything about it. That's what real friends would do. If you think you would be happy with him than go for it.


okay I know this is random, but like I have really weird hair thats in between being curly or straight (but it doesnt look good lol) and I was wondering does anyone know anything that will make your hair straight or curly w/o too much use of a straightener or a curling iron? Thanks soo much! (Please dont delete!) (link)
it's simple all you do is put gel in your hair. Diffuse on low while you put the gel and your hair will look great.


I have a rat and my brother gave me another one and put them in the same cage and they started fighting and one of them has cuts under his chin so I was wondering if I should just let them heal or do something about it.Thanks (link)
i think you should buy something for it. It must hurt him of she. Buy something to releave the pain.


I have been working so hard in school. and my mom wont let me do anything! i have worked my butt off, and all she will let me do is work more! She expects me to read books in one day, yet she doesnt believe i can write an essay in one hour when i am determined to go to a play with my friends! I am getting so tired, i have had so much pressure on myself i feel like i am going to crack under it! PLEASE help me! what do i do!? I am pratically being grounded from a life! Even though its winter vacation she wont let me do hardly anything now either! She went shopping today right after i woke up..so i didnt wanna go, becuz i had just woken up..and she was lke. How about you read a book or something! agh! All of this work isnt making my brain stronger! Its making it over-pressured and weak! I really need advice! (link)
well,tell your mom nicely that you've been working hard for a past few weeks or even longer.so you kind of want atleast ahour or2 to have fun with your friends. you've done your hoework and have been trying so hard to get the grade that will make her proud[if you havent already].And remind her that you COULD ONLY BE A KID ONCE IN A LIFETIME.


Last night I did my washing but I was really tired so I just dumped it all in without looking to see what went in. Then when I checked this morning, I had found that I had slipped a fur coat into the mix.

Things happen and bada bing bada boom,

The coat feel apart,

Well I'm not that upset about the coat falling apart (a bit but not much) but now all my other clothes that went in that wash have fur all over them. I have tried shaking them off but they are still covered- what would be the best way to get all the fur off easily?
(link)
well,theirs this stick thats made to take fur off ,but from hearing about your situation you are going to need a lot of them. you should look for the stick over the internet or you can just see where they sell it.


my room is really lame and i hate having friends in it because its not cool. i have basic furniture, tv, computer, but its so boring to be in. any ideas? help!!! (link)

Concerned friend my sister is the same way. you're right tellyour friend what you said. She deserves someone better than she has don't just blurt it out just talk calmly take her for a walk and tell her. you're agood friend.


My best friend and I like the same guy. The thing is, he is dating my best friend. But she and he both know that he likes me also. He wants to be with both of us, but I don't want to hurt my best friend so I think I should back off. What should I do?? Thanks!

you are a good friend other girls would go with their bf's boyfriend. He is stupid and oviously he might make up a lie saying that you want to go out with him and your friend is going to get mad at you. Just tell your friend that you don't intend to go out with him. hopefully wshe will realize that he is bad boyfiend and leave him


Dear Advicenators,
One and a half years ago my brother *Henry* was diagnosed with hemophilia, which means that his blood does not clot normally. If he gets a cut, it's really hard to stop the bleeding. If he loses too much blood, he could die if the blood is not replenished.

Henry and I always liked to spend time together (he's two years older than me). We'd ride bikes to the park and shoot basketball hoops. He couldn't be too active, but he was my best friend and I felt safe around him.

Anyway, he lost a lot of blood one day, and was taken to the doctor for another blood injection. The horrible part was, that the person who had donated that blood was carrying the AIDS virus. The doctor proclaimed that Henry now had AIDS.

Henry is 15 years old, is in diapers, and must be fed through an IV or a tube. He has about 4 months left to live. My entire family is sad, and angry about it. My parents must monitor him all the time, so I always have to get a ride to my volleyball games. All three of us never have extra time, because we are always there for Henry and when he must be hospitalized. I had to drop out of volleyball for him.

Henry has been the butt of the jokes from the kids at school lately. They make fun of the fact that he has been in diapers. They are unaware of the fact that his brain is slowly being devoured, and he can't feed himself. The AIDS is tearing the whole family apart. But luckily, my friends are there to console me, but I always feel resentment towards the cruel kids at school. Can I please have some suggestions on what to do about that?

Anyway, as I am spending my last Christmas with my brother, I have no idea what present to give to him. Could I please have some ideas? I want it to be special and something he'll remember when he goes to Heaven.

Also, how can I comfort / cheer up my parents? They have been having lots of mood swings lately and have been very stressed.

Any input and prayer would be great. Sorry about the length. (link)
You don't need to worry God is with you and your family never forget that. Read Jeremiah 29:12-13. Tell your brother not to listen to the kids For the bible says cursed are the ones who curse us. I will tell my church to pray for your family. Give your brother something thoughtful that will touch his heart. Doesn't have to be expensive. Remind your parents that god will never leave you nor forsake you because he loves you and your family. Just keep praying God can do miricles.

Dear Smarti8,


I have an oral presentation to give on monday (it's powerpoint) and i'm terrified... like this is one of my biggest fears ever. Whenever i go to give a speech or something my voice starts really quivering and shaking and it sounds like i'm crying. Is there any way to stop this from happening? also... any other advice on giving speeches would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!! (link)
i know how you feel. This used to happen to me too. i now just concentrate on one spot and think about my grade. Imagine your teacher saying how great you were. And remember the more confident you are, the shorter the time feels. The more nervous you are the longer the time feels. It doesn't matter what you look at it can even be the wall.
