about
I have a heart for this stuff. My love and greatest desire is helping people, thus the reason for majoring in Psychology. I hope to someday soon be a board-certified Clinical Psychologist. Until then, I'm going to give my opinions and hopefully help some people out in the process.On another note, I love learning, singing, dancing, and God. I'm heavily into acting, singing, dancing, and trying to get and stay in shape. I don't like drama and if I give advice to anyone, it is in hopes of drama-free results, but never guaranteed. I believe in standing up for yourself, regardless of who's against you. You've got to take a stand or you'll fall for anything.

Grapefruit has a natural fat burner in it. Regular grapes are loaded with sugar. Definitely avoid them. But grapefruit is a good one.

No, I'm 23.
hey alright so im a senior in high school and i was wondering what courses i would need to take to get into psychology. and what i would need to take in university to get into the program. also what are some jobs out there relating to the feild. please, i really need some advice. thanks in advance =)
I'm currently a Pyschology Major. alisonmarie listed most of the basic information. When you apply to college and get enrolled, you will be assigned an academic advisor that will help you along the way with your degree process. They will guide you to your required and recommended courses as well. Colleges do look at your grades, so if your grades aren't wonderful, I would recommend a 2-year (junior) college first. It's small and it would give you an opportunity to bring your GPA up. Extracurricular activities are good, but not all colleges put as much emphasis on them as much as people make them out to be. Don't forget to take the SAT's or the ACT. I know in Georgia, the SAT or ACT isn't a requirement for admission. Colleges in other states may also have an admission exam like Georgia, so that's something you can check into also.
I decided to go to a 2-year college first. We have smaller classrooms and it's cheaper. I will transfer after I'm completed with my core, and the university that I transfer to, I will begin taking my major courses for Psychology.
The courses required vary from state to state. Every university system has something called "core classes". These classes are your basic courses that you will take first, like your maths, english, literature, government, etc. Then you will move onto to your focal area in Psychology. During this time you'll be taking mostly just Psych courses. This is the way it works with the University of Georgia system.
Here in Georgia, nothing holds you back from going to college. With the HOPE Scholarship, anyone with a graduating GPA of 3.0 receives the scholarship, which covers all of tuition and $150 of books (not a lot). I recommend to go ahead and begin applying to colleges now as well as apply for financial aid. Don't wait until the last minute! Especially with financial aid...it takes up to 9 weeks or more to process it. www.fafsa.ed.gov is an application for the pell grant (you don't pay it back). I would shoot for looking into grants and scholarships and look at loans at a last resort. There are grants and scholarships galore!

As soon as you're accepted, see if you can schedule an appointment with your advisor at the college to go ahead and arrange a set-up for your classes to take your first semester. Good classes will fill up quick and freshman come last when picking classes! Good luck!!! I hope I helped!
I have a few stained teeth. Like.. there's red-orange ish scratch like marks on my teeth. Stained.. I had braces for like 3 years and my teeth were a bit stained where the glue stuff was.
How do i fix it without getting it bleached professionally [I don't have the money]
I don't smile because of it.
I would love to start smiling again.
You may think this is gross, but it's the only source of whitening I've ever used. I pre-rinse my teeth with Listerine Whitening for thirty seconds, then brush my teeth, then I mix a little hydrodgen peroxide with listerine and gargle. Just don't swallow. People are always asking me where I get my teeth whitened at.
well,im going thrifting with my sister today,because really,you can just wash the clothes. anyways,im wondering,do they have any really trendy clothes there? like cute flatts,and maybe those hats with a bow on it,ripped jeans,things like that? and patterns? just wondering. thanks!
You can find all kinds of things, you just have to look really closely for them. Consignment stores are another great place to try.
I've read a bunch of places that if you put mayonnaise in your hair it works great as a deep conditioner. I was wondering though if it leaves a bad smell once your hair is dry and everything. If you've tried it, has it worked and does it leave a bad smell in your hair the next day?
It works great. I always wash it a couple of times after I rinse the mayonnaise out because it's so greasy. After you wash it a couple of times, the smell is gone.
I was taking my usual ballet class...and while doing a split...I felt pain in *that* area. I'm 15 btw. I went to the bathroom to see what was going on...And I started to bleed...and was sore and that *area* hurt. But it wasn't my period. Because the time didn't come yet. Could it be possible that my cherry has "popped" un-sexually? (I haven't ever engaged in sex). Does this mean I'm not a virgin anymore? ;_;
It's possible that you maybe tore your hymen or something along those lines. But you're a virgin until you engage in sexual intercourse.
I would make an appointment to go to the doctor to get checked out, just to be safe. And it's not an embarrasing thing. I fell once before and I started to bleed down there. It was minor though.
Whats the best way to study for midterms? Its french, by the way.
Flash cards always help me!
I've got flu, which is really annoying cos we just broke up from school and now I'm ill. It's christmas in 4 days and before that I wanna do stuff. I wanna go out with my friends and have a good time, y'know? I've got a really bad headache, sore throat, cold, cough, tummy ache and I've got no energy.
Do you know anything I can do to get better as quickly as possible? I really don't want to be ill for christmas.
Go to the doctor...you need antibiotics to feel better and chances are the doctor will prescribe you Tamiflu and it works fast and great!
From my question: what are the deadly sins, I commited 6/7. Does that mean I'm a very bad person and will go to hell? I'm only a teen and I try so hard not to commit those sins but it seems every day I'm envious and jealous and angry but I never yell I only keep them in my head but I have head aches all the time from keeping it all in. And does anyone know the words to Hail Mary? I beleive it's a prayer to ask god to forgive me..
Mary doesn't forgive you, God does. As far as the deadly sins. The punishment for all sins is death, an eternity separated from God. How do you avoid that? By calling upon the name of Jesus Christ. ALL of us commit every sin everyday. Jesus summed up all the commandments by saying, "Love the Lord, your God with all of your heart, soul..." and the greatest commandment of all was to "Love they neighbor as thyself." If you do that, you'll have all commandments covered. Of course we're still going to sin, but we can be forgiven because of the very blood of Jesus Christ. Remember that you're not the only one, we have all fallen short of the glory of God. Just rest assure that there is forgiveness and I'll be praying for you. Also, NEVER put off getting saved. There is no promise of tomorrow. www.Getsavedtoday.com

im trying to tone my abs, love handles, legs, and butt because i used to have like a 4 pack haha and i want it back and im also kinda pear shaped. well i heard that even if i try to tone those areas nothing will happen unless i do cardio. which i dont like bc weights and non-cardio things are much more my type of workout and also im 16 and only a 32a and i want bigger boobs i dont want them to decrease from cardio lol!!! what can i do?
Crunches. I do 500 in the morning and 500 at night and also during the day, if you contract your abdominals, that helps too. I've got a six-pack from crunches. Side stretches may be able to help your love handles. Cardio would really help even though you don't like it. I don't have the answer to bigger boobs because unfortunately I can't seem to get rid of mine, no matter what. lol
Walking also helps tighten your abs.

I used to have curly hair (longer then my shoulders) (its naturaly curly)
But then I decided i would straighten it. Because it looks bad curly. Haha.
But now thats its been like 6 months, straight hair is getting super borring, its teh same every day. I need something else.
I want to curl my hair.
this is me. With straight hair

what can i use to make it curly? remeber i have naturaly curly hair!!
I'm the same as you, I have naturally curly hair and I used to hate it.
Now, I alternate between straightening it and curling it. The great thing about curly hair is that all it takes is a comb and the right products.
After you shower (I make sure I wash & condition my hair), instead of brushing my hair, I comb it. If you want looser curls, you can brush it, but only once - don't continue. Only comb it once to get the tangles out. I bought a curl spritzer from Sally Beauty Supply that I spray on my hair immediately. I would recommend going to a place like Sally Beauty Supply over your drugstore. They have certified cosmetologists there that can recommend products & it's cheap! I paid like $4.99 for this one. I also recommend using a spray over a gel because gels tend to weigh your hair down at the roots.
So, wash, condition, comb, spray. I'll get the name of the spray I use later and post it for you.
Beyond The Zone The Scruncher is the name of the product I use.

Yes ma'am it does. My hair is naturally curly and it works great!
yeah, cooler older people...i've tried being confident...and i am...but i'm also realistically aware of my abilities...and these people are much closer to the definition of cool than me, wittier, smarter, wiser, up on trends i'm not up on, and have a hard time keeping up with ect...they are nice to me but...i'm pretty sure they're also a bit bored with me...how can i change this...without becoming mentally four years older...i wouldn't mind putting some effort into keeping up with their topics of intrest ect...but i just don't think i can get to where it has taken them four years to get to intellectually so quickly...how can i get these guys to like me...i'd love to be in their company. they are really interesting.
In middle school, I had a certain group of friends that I hung out with and I hated/despised the 'cool, older' crowd. I hit high school - I got drawn into that crowd. How? I didn't give a damn what they thought of me. Once you get into and around that crowd, you'll realize they're not that different and not necessarily that much cooler. People just think they are, therefore giving them that status.
I was always friends with everyone, but I tended to hang with what people considered the cool crowd more. I went to three different high schools and everytime that's who I ended up with. All it took was hitting it off with one person. I never pretended I was something that I wasn't and I openly expressed my opinions.
I wouldn't waste my time researching topics they may be interested in. I'm afraid if you put so much into trying to fit in and become one of them, you're going to get burned and depressed. I'm guessing you're probably around 9th grade. This is a perfect time in your life to start defining the kind of person you want to be and allow it to take form. Be yourself. If you don't know what they're talking about, inform them on some things that you're interested in.
To help you out a little further, it does help if you're friends with the right person. If you could become close friends with at least one person in the group, it could easily, very, very easily pull you in. But don't change to conform to another's standards. Be yourself. Standing out does make a difference. Express your opinions. Don't be shy and stand up for things you believe in. Don't bow down to anyone and eventually they'll either love you or hate you. But you'll be stronger and thankful. If you don't have things in common with someone, I wouldn't suggest becoming friends with them. I found in those groups I didn't have a lot of real, true friends and I got into partying and drinking a lot because that was a weekend consistency. It's all about the right people and the right places and the right words. Sarcasm helped me. =)
Good luck! =)
So i've gone on two dates with this guy. He likes me, I like him we both know and we scheduled two dates this past week both of which had to be canceled because he's in college and apparently had some tests/projects that he has to get done. The only thing that pisses me off right now, is that wednesday the day of the date, he doesn't call me to tell me that we're not having the date, I get online and he's online and he IM's me telling me he's sorry and that he doesn't have time to go on a date today, and on friday which was our other thing and that he was really sorry and blah blah blah. I'm kind of angry, but i'll live with it so i'm just like talking and we're having a nice conversation. Thursday comes around and he tells me that we can hang out on Friday because he'll finish what he needs to do on thursday so he can hang out with me on friday... my hopes are all up and i'm excited... night time comes around and he IMs me telling me that he wasn't able to get everything done and that we can't hang out tomorrow cause he'll be busy... UGHHH pisses me off... I don't know whether or not I should keep him because it's like he always seems to be bringing my hopes up and then killing them instantly...
College is stressful. It's kinda sorry of him to IM you instead of calling you. But, technology sucks these days. Don't get your hopes up and don't drop everything because he wants to do something. Remember to keep your social life going because it will seem to him like you're just waiting on him, therefore he'll keep doing this. When you get a chance, cancel on him one time. Not everytime, just once. Have something really important come up or something. Give him a dose of his medicine. And bet of all, don't call him - IM him. Us girls have to be able to play the game also to stay in the game. Better yet, you take the reins. If he continues canceling, it would seem like he's making excuses and I would confront him. Best of luck and remember don't wait on a guy!
I feel like I'm more spiritual than Religious. My family is of the Christian faith. I'm not sure that I'm that religious. I believe in horoscopes (don't judge me) and the power of herbal healing and I feel like I'm more intouch with my spiritual side. Then again, I feel bad for being like that because I'm afraid I'm going to go to hell for not being that religious. I just feel guilty.
What are y'alls opinions on this?
What should I do?
Here's a website I thought you may be interested in: www.notreligion.com
Firstly, anyone who judges you for reading horoscopes needs to read the Bible where it says we are not to be judged. I'm a Christian and I don't consider myself religious. Not just a Christian in a sense that I'm just saying that, but in the fact that I want to, I desire to win others to Christ. Why? Because Jesus Christ is the one and only way to heaven. Why do I not consider myself religious? Because to me, Christianity isn't really a religion - but more about a relationship between me and Christ. I pray and talk to him and read the Bible. I don't agree with everyone's belief that I go to church with. A person can read the same Bible scripture over and over again and each time get some different meaning out of it.
Herbal healing...I believe this is possible. Not in a Wiccan sense, but God created the earth and everything in and on it. Why wouldn't things like this work? Prayer heals.
Also, I never realized this until recently - God only hears prayers from saved people, except the prayers of salvation. I feel that you may be going through what I was a couple of years ago. If you're praying to God asking for Guidance, you recognize and conciously feel that something you believe and do is not right. No one can give you a correct answer about what is wrong and right except God. I believe God may be convicting you of some things. I recommend talking with a preacher or someone that you can trust with an open mind and open heart. You can always email me if you'd like. I'm going to be praying for you and for God to direct you accordingly.
Good arguments that atheists might use against religious people, usually Christians? I deal with a lot of rather annoying fundamentalists.
(And if you are going to answer this by telling me how I need to let "god's love into my heart", then please press the back button on your browser now. There's a pretty good chance you sicken me."
If you can't back up your beliefs or views, I would do a little more research before I just labeled myself something. Especially something as serious as that.
I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about atheism. I know more about Agnostics because I have friends who are. But I don't judge them based on their religion, that's God's place. Christians who fire off at non-Christians fire me up. They give bad reputations to those who are striving to do the will of God.
Don't judge all Christians based on a few. There's more to Christianity that 'closed-mindness'. We have hope and concern for those who aren't Christians. At least, true Christians do. I'll pray for you and I honestly do hope that you let God's love into your heart. It's an amazing feeling.
Hey. I'm working on a slide show and I need some verses along the theme of "Not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39). Just about like everything happens for a reason, God's plan is best etc.
any help would be really great.
thanks.
Jeremiah 29:11-12, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."
That's one of my faves =)

I hate being alone, for starters. Today, I fell asleep, and when I woke up no one was home. My mom & dad took my brother to basketball tryouts. I hate being home alone, or forgotten.. so to speak. Plus, I overeact easily & am very emotional. I then, thought I'd run away, but.. I didn't wanna leave without my dog. So, that backfired, I then was gonna try to like cut myself, but that didnt work, because I got a paper cut, & it hurt, so yeah. ha... then, I tried to look for medication, so I could like kill myself. That didn't work out.. I couldn't find any.
I get like that alot, & like in my head.. i'm telling myself this is retarded, stop it! But, I can't help it.
How can I make this better?
I felt the same way at your age. It's normal. But don't do anything to hurt yourself. It seems like you may be struggling for some attention. Talk with a school counselor or join a club or something. Prayer is always a great thing. =)
How can i get on birth control with out my parents finding out? When i have sex with my boyfriend we use condoms but i just dont want to take the risk of getting pregnat.
The health department. It's cheap (and can even be free) and your privacy is fully protected under HIPAA. A doctor, staff, or anyone is not allowed to discuss your medical information unless you sign a release form concerning situations such as birth control.
if a person who is HIV positive get a belly peircing or tatoo does it affect his health, does it kill?
does his body reject the belly peircing because he has a bad immune system or it doesnt have anything to do with that. please help
it doesn't affect a person's health I wouldn't think...but if the person doing the peircing doesn't dispose of that needle, it's possible for the next person to contract HIV. A peircing is placing a hole in the body. Your body can't really reject it.
