Hi. My name is


kay ehh eye tee ehl why enn
((for you less intelligent people, Kaitlyn))

I'm not the prettiest, smartest, or thinnest,

nor do I claim to be. If you get the chance to know me,

I'm super radical.

I'm not emo,

scene,

goth,

hXc,

or preppy,

I'm just me.

I have a name, not at label.

Music is my passion.

I am the worldest biggest Choir Geek, ever,
and proud of it.
I feel like it's the only place in my life where everything just...

clicks.

My friends are my life source. --How star trek of me =]--

I'm pretty shy around new people,

but with my friends... hahaha.
Lets just say... it's interesting.

I'm a dork, and I'm proud.

Life's far to short to be worried about being cool.

I'm sarcastic, and optimistic.

I like hugs.

I'm Mormon, and I only have ONE mom. Kay? Thanks.

When I'm having a bad day, the whole world knows it.

I can be really nice,

or mean, depends on what day you catch me on.

m'aider à vivre, please and thanks.

In short,

I'm just me, don't care what you have to say about it.
so put that in your juice box and suck it.

I just moved to a new school. My old school was an all-girls school, but my mum was a teacher at an all-boys school, so it wasnt that awkward when I moved to a co-ed school (if that makes sense??)
Anyway, now I'm actually going to school with guys, and they are in my classes and I don't really mind. But when it's sport I get really self-conscious. Like I can't be good enough for anyone. I want to make a good impression on people that I am meeting for the first time. I don't want to tell my new friends because I don't really know them that well yet. I know this sounds a bit weird but in my last school I wasn't at all popular, and suddenly, at this new school, it seems like everyone wants to know me, and a few guys have told me that they have crushes on me already!! I think I am panicking, but I don't know what I can do to calm down and focus on schoolwork instead of being so worried about making good impressions on everyone. Someone please tell me what I can do?? (link)
First of all, take a deep breath.
Now, this is not a bad thing,
guys like you you're making new friends,
the transition is working for you.
Most of the time, even if you are comfortable with the people you are still going to be worried about what they think about you.
It's called being a teenager.
Just take a deep breath,
and really get into soemthing,
choir, math, anything.
something to take your mind off of it.
you might consider yoga or just taking some time every day to relax.
most of all ahve fun with it.

wish you luck.
a teenage girl.


I'm trying to lose some weight, and I haven't noticed any results. I havent been eating much and I've been exercising everyday for a while now. Is there any way to increase my metabolism? Good diets? Exercises? Anything helpful! Thanks~~~ :D (link)
well it will take a while to see results especailly when you are just starting out... now about your eating habits you say you arent eating alot but when you are eating what are you eating? if you are eating foods with alot of calories or sugar then you could be just keeping yourself were you are. Try to cut down on the sugars and eat more vegtables fruits ECT.

The Metabolism Formula
The winning formula to maintain your weight is that what you take in should equal the calories you expend...

CALORIES TAKEN IN FROM FOOD =

CALORIES EXPENDED FROM BASAL METABOLISM +
CALORIES EXPENDED BY ACTIVITY +
CALORIES EXPENDED DIGESTING FOOD (THERMIC EFFECT)

To lose weight, you have to reduce calories taken in, increase calories expended, or do both.

Metabolism is somewhat a function of genetics, but you can increase basal metabolism by building muscle. Muscle cells are up to eight times more metabolically active than fat cells, and muscle burns more calories than fat. Adding weight-bearing or resistance exercise – such as weightlifting or exercise bands -- is one of the only ways to increase basal metabolism.

An efficient metabolism also requires the smooth running of many complex body processes that rely on sufficient antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and the B vitamins. Supplements to correct any deficiencies are therefore important.

Finally, dehydration can contribute to an inefficient metabolism, by affecting body temperature. When you are dehydrated, your body temperature drops slightly, and causes your body to store fat as a way to help raise or maintain the temperature. Making sure you drink enough liquids, preferably at least 64 ounces of water per day, to avoid this metabolic pitfall.

Hope i helped!

What's the song that goes "He is everything you want, he is everything you need. He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be" ? or it might be she.. i dont know but what is it, who sings it and where can i get the video? (link)
Vertical Horizon
Everything You Want

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh, and it's rising at the back of your mind

You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees
And the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn

You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away

There's always another
Wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned

You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you
And I don't know why

And I don't know
Why
Why

And I don't know


there are the lyrics

Hey!

My ex-BFF made up lies about things i said about my other friends. She keeps doing mean things to me! She's gotten on my last nerve and i dont want to b her friend anymore! The problem is that my parents are friends with her parents! I've tried talking to my parents about it but it doesnt work! they say it doesnt make a diffrence but it does! Is there anything else i can do??? (link)
Hey!
Just be "nice" to her when you are around your families. Just because your parents like her doesnt mean you have too. So just "act" like you are friends. Good Luck

I got a couple bleach spots on my FAVORITE pants. Not only are they my favorite pants, they're like the only ones I own that actually fit me and they weren't that cheap either! Is there anything I can do to them to either get the bleach spot to go away, or a way I can "ware" them so that it looks as though they were made that way? I don't like the whole staining in coffee or tea thing so that's completely out of the question. But is there anything else I can do to bring my pants back to life? =( Thanks. (link)
Hey!
You could take a cheese graders to the parts where the stains are and make holes there otherwise i dont think there is a way to save them... sorry i didn't help very much good luck!

Hey!
Hun, this might be hard to hear but you may be depressed. There is not a real start to depression, most doctors will tell you it is a chemical imbalence in you brain i would recommend talking to your parents and then going to a doctor and possibly getting some medication. Best of Luck!

I dont know if i should ask this guy out that goes to my school he doesnt think tat i like him and we dont talk a lot but i like this guy a lot and i want to ask him out so bad but i dont know how......plz help me....i rate high....

love,
dont know what to do (link)
Dear dont know what to do
Well i have heard that guys don't like it when girls ask them out they like to be in control... event though they aren't lol!

I would just drop hints, flirt, body language. Look at him in class and when he looks up break the stare just let him know you are interested.
If he doesn't ask you out i say go for it.
Good Luck!

I want to shave my legs but i dont know how to ask my mom wut should i do?
(link)
Hey!
Well I Wouldn't just go up to her and be like can i shave my legs. what i would do is start out with " Mom, you know how you said you would always be there when i need to talk." and after she is like yeah just say "Well i was wondering if it would be ok if i started shaving."
You can't control your mom's reaction just ask her and hope for the best she should understand. Good Luck!

i really like this girl and she just got out of a tough relationship. she needs space..and i'm willing to give her that. what should i do, though? i really like her. she sort of led me on and stuff, then regretted it i guess. i feel sort of sad i guess too. how do i make her see i really want to be with her, but not being too pushy? help!! (link)
Hey!
I would recomend saying how you feel about and you know she needs her space. Tell her that when she is ready to give you a call. Treat her as a FRIEND during this time go in for asking her out later. Good Luck!

Ok,I didn't know what category to put this question under, but I guess that doesn't really matter right now. My life is falling apart.

My parents are getting a divorce, because my older half sister and nephew (they're in rehab) are planning on moving in with us (she'd take my car and my room) and my mom doesn't want her to. My Dad feels it's his duty as her father. They'd already been having problems, and my mother's set of parents (my last set of grandparents) are dying, and she'd been really depressed lately. My mom decided the best way to get over it is to leave and go to Washington. None of us know exactly where.

So now, in since my Dad is in Michigan a lot, for his job, it is up to me to run a whole house-hold (cooking, cleaning, shopping, EVERYTHING!) and go to school. I have 4 little brothers and sisters (ages; 11, 8, 6 and 5)... On top of this, I have a job at a hospital, and am picked up by my uncle every day at 6:30 so I can work for two hours. I also realize that I'm very depressed, and have been ever since my ex dumped me two years ago. I can't seem to get over him, and if I even try to date anyone else, I always find some reason to dump them.. please help me.. somehow.. I know it's long.. I'm so sorry.. (link)
Hey!
I am so sorry first of all you shouldn't have to go through all that!

Let me start with your parents divorece. Its not your fault no matter what anyone says don't believe it.

It is NOT your fathers duty they are grown kids! They make their own desions and shouldn'd mooch off of her father anymore!

YOUR DAD CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT PILE EVERYTHING ON YOU IT IS WAY TO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE.

Your Ex SCREW HIM! He doesn't know what he is missing out on and you know what it may take a while to get over him the only way to is to go out with other guys. So break out your little black book and i know it will be hard but go for it with them just start out as friends. then go on from there.

Now for the depression if you take control of all these situations it will get better. If not you may need to go to a doctor, and get meds you know.

Good Luck, God Bless.

this girl i know is really buggin me! she used to be my best friend but shes not anymore. she did a lot of mean stuff to me so im not close with her anymore but my other friends are. I try telling them to be careful around her cus i dont want what happened to me to happen to them but they dont listen. what should i do??? (link)
Hey!
Alot of times if you aren't good friends with someone they won't listen to you... that is just life. So you can tell them but they probly won't listen to you. Just be there for them if anything happens. Good Luck!
