Q: Okay well im a christian and everything....but i have tried weed a couple of times. see my sister was the one who got me high all those times and itsz SO0 hard to say no to her because i always feel ret@rded when i say no. well i guess whut im trying to say is, am i going to go to hell because i did it???? ANd i wanna stop doing it but i dont kno how to tell my sister.. and dont say just tell her no because you dont understand how hard it is. Because i NEVER see her and all that.. ijust dont kno whut to do...

plz help i rate high!
no, you are not going to hell b/c you did weed. umm, i dont know what donomination you are though...if you're catholic, you need to go to confession. i dont know about if you are protestant though....and you should tell you're priest/pastor/parent/gaurdian that this is happening. and dont just say some person, make sure they know this is your sister doing this to you. this is serious, so, again, tell your pries/pasto/parent/gaurdian that this is happening(or any trustworthy adult).

Q: k, here is the worst moment of my entire life. it is something I would say every single girl dreads happening. I was about 13 and was at the local six flags water park, my best friend and I were hanging out with some guys we liked and the day was going pretty good. all of a sudden the guy I was crushing on (steve) turns to me and is like "hey! do you wanna go down the intertube slides with me?" I was so excited I jumped right off but as I stood my best friend was like "omg turn around" so I turned and looked and she mouthed "blood" to me... see I was on my period, I thought I was gonna be fine I had changed like 2 hours ago but I guess not cuz my whole frickin butt was covered in blood! I was embarassed, but luckily the guys were cool with it they said "oh its okay, we understand-just go change and then we'll head out" so I quickly wrapped a towel round me and headed off to the bathroom. as im walking away I hear steve go "huh, I have chew on my arm.." (all the guys chewed, which now I realize is totally disgusting, I don't know why I was even wasting my time) anyways one of the other guys go "dude that's not chew that's her blood!!!" steve freaked and ran into a pool to wash it off, I think I hid in the bathroom for an hour, until my friend came and got me telling me that the boys had leave and that we should go. I was mortified, that is something a teenage girl should never have to go through!

How do i get over this.... i mean theses guy r very judgmentally wat can i tell them to not make fun of me??? I dont ever want to see theses guys again im 'scared' to confrint themill rate 5!!!!
it's ok. you said yourself that you dont know why you were hanging out w/ them. so if anybody else confronts you about it, just laugh and say it happens to the best of us(b/c it does). you dont need to confront the other boys, seeing as you said yourself that they were a waste of time. you kina answered your own question, but i hope this helped!

Q: my boyfriend broke up with me after hurricane katrina empacted our lives destroying everything we owned. He has given me 4 reasons why we broke up he says it because he cant be there 4 me like i need him to , and he cant see me because were at lease 200 miles apart, he cant talk to me like he wants to. after the breakup we had a huge argument although I said some very ugly things to him and vice versa I still care for him now he wants us to talk on the phone and he even asked me to come and see him, he even suggested that we live together hes confusing me i' m not sure what to do any suggestions
i think that you should apoligize for the said ugly things and most deff go see him. but you need to talk about moving in b/f actually doing it. the main reason he probably broke up w/ u is stress. katrina was a HUGE disaster and i know it put alot of stress on both of your lives. he reacted under extreme conditions, and probably broke up w/ you b/c he didnt know what to do. so give him a chance. it might work out this time 'round...

Q: i have a friend. she has had a hard time lately and she has made bad decisions. she told me everything she has done. now she says that she feels like im judging her becouse of what she said. so she doesnt want to tell me stuff and i think she is a suicide risk and if i tell someone now i will never know if it comes up again becouse im the only person she has told but if she wont talk to me becouse she thinks im judging her i wont know anyways. but she did tell me she was goin to do it the other day so i talked her out of it. but i dont know if im sopposed to tell someone now or try to talk her out of it everytime. i rate for GOOD answers
i will repeat this 7 times b/c research shows that repeating stuff 7 times gets it to the brain better: tell an adult!tell an adult!tell an adult!tell an adult!tell an adult!tell an adult!tell an adult! ok. now that's outta the way, you should talk her out of it if that is the only way to stop her doing it at the time being, but again...tell an adult! asap! as in as soon as u read this. go. now. why are you still reading this? im not trying to be rude. there is no way you can handle this by yourself. its way to serious. now. get off the computer. go tell an adult. now. thank you!

Q: Ok this might be hard to follow but lets give it a shot. Well right now i am in such a screwed up situation. As far as my friends i dont even know what or who to believe. Ok well me and this girl Kathy have been best of friends for bout 3 years now. And use to me and this boy tj used to be i met him and thats how i met kathy. Well back toward the end of may me and kathy told tj off cause he was lying. Ok so sometime in the begining of july he comes back into the picture wants another chance i was hesistating but kathy wasnt so i gave it a shot. Well turns out my feeling was right i should not have cause i ended up telling him off again for lying and coping off with an attitude. And every since then i haven't seen him or talked to him and dont wont to.And there for a few weeks kathy wasnt either. Well say the 2nd or 3rd week in august TJ and another one of his buddies come back into the picture. Well right off the bat i had a bad feeling bout them both. And turns out kathy goes out with tj's buddy. And every since that week that tj and his buddy came back into the picture Kathy hasnt been acting herself. Not towards me that she has known for 3 years or her real good friend crystal sometimes. And her and crystal are like sisters. I havent been acting myself either but that cause of this plus some is getting me misurably stressed. Anyways my question is do yall know anyway we can get it through Kathy's head that she needs to give Tj the big boot and also some other people and start acting herself again and realize that she is hurting her close ones?

P.S. me and kathy have been so close, We used to talk to each other everyday, I used to go and spend the night at her house every weekend help her and her family out til bout a month and a half ago when she wasnt acting right.
try an intervention. get a couple of other people and drag her if you have to. well, not litterally. but you should have a bunch of people tell her that she's different. give specific examples. but not everybody stays friends forever...not that im telling you to blow this off, but maybe its time that you two drift apart. i really hope thats not the case though...

Q: Okay so, my friend wants me to ask y'all this..

She said that she used to smoke and then she stopped and before, she used to inhale the smoke and now she started smoking again (she's an idiot because she started again to impress a guy) she can't inhale without choking.

She asked me what she should do but I don't smoke so I wouldn't know .. LOL.
So yeah, what should she do?

Apart from stop smoking, which is what I said :P

she is choking b/c her body is trying to rid itself of the harmful chemicals...i.e.:STOP SMOKING! is what her body is saying. tell her to listen to it. smoking is bad. especially to impress somebody. but im not going to lecture you anymore except to tell you this: SMOKING IS BAD!

Q: okay, so i've tried like 10 different lyrics websites and they are all freezing my computer up... so i was wondering if anyone could put the lyrics for Our Lady of Sorrows by My chemical Romance on here for me...?!?! will rate 5's

xMntOKx
so many ppl askin for CR lyrics...


"Our Lady Of Sorrows"

We could be perfect one last night
And die like star-crossed lovers when we fight
And we can settle this affair
If you would shed your yellow take my hand
And then we'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity
This riddle of revenge please understand it has to be this way and

[Chorus]
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and never be afraid again

We've only got one chance to put this at an end
and cross the patron saint of switchblade fights
You said we're not celebrities, we spark and fade, they die by threes
I'll make you understand and you can trade me for an apparition

[Chorus]
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and never

Trust, you said
Who put the words in your head
Oh how wrong we were to think
That immortality meant never dying

Stand
Take my fucking hand
Take my fucking...

[Chorus]
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and never be afraid again

Just because my hands around your throat!

have fun w/ whatever you need this for...i guess...

Q: 13/m Hey all, I've got the longest story in the world to tell, but nobody wants to hear that. Basically, over the summer I realized that I loved one of my best friends, I told her, she's not sureherself how she thinks of me. And I'm not talking about any of that crap teenage infatuation. I know infatuation. I know love. This is love. Well, last night, I dreamt about her =D The last time I dreamt about her, I dreamt that I asked her out. I asked her out the next day but to no avail. Of course, I've been thinking about her and only her for months, ever since I discovered my true feelings. It's been making me fail my classes---like for example we just got our progress reports, and normally, I'm really really smart, I'm in all the advanced courses, but I got an F in science...

Last night I dreamt about her. It was in the middle of French class, which is weird because she takes Spanish, and her ex was there, as were my parents... anyway, at random when Madame (insert her name here) was in the bathroom, she told me how she felt: "Hey, (my name), I've been thinking, and I realized that I actually do like you as more than a friend." And she smiled, and we hugged, and I danced around the room. I made an idiot of myself, but I was too happy to care! She finally loved me back!

Well, the dream ended as we were about to kiss, because I don't think you're supposed to know what that feels like until you actually experience it. Now, why am I so obsessed with this dream? I'm not very religious, and I'm not superstitious in the least. I don't even believe in luck, with drawing cards from a deck or flipping a coin---there are variable factors that affect the outcome. So why should I be asking a question to 10,000 columnists about some stupid dream? The one supernatural belief that I have is in telekinetics, telepathy, and psychics. Especially between twins (it's a proven fact) or in dreams. Dreams frequently predict the future in my experiences, and my sister's, and my friends', and everyone's. So why should this be any different?

It feels like I'm writing a persuasive essay right now... Another reason why is because last time something like this happened, it was when I e-mailed her how I felt (I'm way too shy) not knowing that she was on vacation with no internet connection. Well, about five minutes after I went outside to play basketball, I started thinking about her a LOT. When I came in, I checked my e-mail, and one of them was from that exact time as when I was thinking about her so much!

But I guess the biggest reason of all... is because I love her so much and I just really want her to love me back, and my mind will do anything to make me believe that there's hope when there actually isn't. For all you DnD fans out there, if you have the Unearthed Arcana book, flip to the part about the sanity points. Well, it feels like I just lost all my sanity points. In a nutshell, it sucks to be me. What should I do???

P.S. I already started keeping a diary of stuff, as of 3 days ago... not really helping...
i dont know her personality, so there are two things that could be going on w/ her. #1: she REALLY doesnt understand the feelings she is having(or maybe not having) for you, or...#2: she doesnt like you but she doesnt want to hurt you. but whatever the reason, you need to pay more attention in class. if she decides she likes you but you're grounded b/c you failed, what good will that do. moving on to the word 'love' that you used so often. i can believe you when you say it's not infatuation, but to use the word love...you are only 13. im not saying you're wrong, im just saying that you are very young and that you might have very deep feelings for this person, but i dont think its love. going back to what she is feeling...if you REALLY love her, then yes it will be a disappointment if she doesnt like you like that. but if you REALLY love her you will just want her to be happy, and it won't matter w/ who. i cant address the 'sanity points' thing b/c i'm religious. not that you are wrong to not be, just that i have no clue what you are talking about when you talk about the 'sanity points'. it sounds, however, that you think you are going insane(yes. i am very literal). dont worry. you're not. you just care alot about this person. but i dont really know what you're talkin about there, so, um, yeah. about the dreams: i sincerely believe that God sends us dreams(sometimes) b/c joseph(the one w/ the many colored coat...not Jesus' step-father)had the ability to interpret dreams and had dreams sent to him from God(according to the bible). im not trying to push my religion off on you, i just wanted to convey that i believe you when you say your dreams are 'future telling', or something like that. but the main thing i want you to get out of this is that if you actually love her, all you will want for her is to be happy and it wont matter w/ who.

Q: Well i got my girlfriend a really nice gift for her birthday...well not gift....more like gifts....they were pretty expensive all together....but its her first birthday since weve been going out....and weve been going out for about 4 months now....do u think really expensive is a bad or good thing?
well, expensive is ok if this is a serious relationship, but not in excess. and by expensive i hope you dont mean you went out and bought her real diomond jewlery or something like that. if this has only been going on for four months, then you want to get her something personal that will show you care but not set you back more that $50(unless its something super special to her). just use some judgememt: how long do you think this relationship will last? is it worth setting you back ____ amount of money? only you can answer these questions, so good luck! hope this helped, but sorry if it didnt.

Q: Can a passionate love-hate relationship work out?
sometimes. it really depends on the people. every case is different. i was recently in a relationship like that, and it lasted for a while, but one day i got sick of the hate and told him it was over. however, many people have more patience than me, so once again, it really does depend on the two individual people and how hard they are willing to work to make the relationship work out. i know i wasnt really specific, but just as you cant define love, there's no little book that tells you what to do in times like these. that's what your intuition is for...

Q: Can you please help me ASAP, this report is due tomorrow, Revise QUICKLY.

At the begging of every school term everyone sets goals for their selves, when they accomplish them they call the achievements, but when we fail them we call them challenges. In the last two months I have encountered many challenges as well as achievements. If I could make my outcomes of my challenges different I would. For my accomplishments I am going to improve them by being and doing my best.
An accomplishment that I am proud of is my “A” in English 2. I am proud of this because it took hard work and a lot of effort to earn an “A”. I am also proud of this “A” because this is a grade that I can take home to my parents. To ensure that I maintain an “A” average I plan on studying more, being more attentive, and I need to stop letting others influence me. If I can do those three things I know I will pass Eng, with a high “A”
I have only encountered two or three challenges, but the one that is most disturbing is the “F” in geometry, that I earned. There are many reasons why I failed geometry first quarter. I was being very defiant. I made no effort to seek help, I would go to sleep when I got upset with the teacher. I wasn’t very attentive, I disturbed the class by talking and laughing all period, etc. to improve my “I don’t care” attitude and my grade for second quarter, I am going to defiantly study more. When the teacher starts to aggravate me, I’m going to block it out and count to ten. Sometimes, my attitude and reactions can be brutal and I know this can cause me to get written up and days missed out of school.
When the school year starts, we tend to make goals that we want accomplish, in order to do that you have to be determined. This year my goals just consisted with passing and not having that many referrals. Some achievements, especially my “A” in English. The worse challenge is the “F” in geometry. After the first quarter, I know I am going to tighten up, and when second quarter gets here I will have my goal of passing geometry accomplished. Have you ever made goals that either turned out as achievements or either challenges?
just some minor improvements:

Q: but my friend is a chrisitan. He wants me to go to church with him every week, and im not all that enthusiastic. I feel guilty for even thinking about saying no because i get all self concious when i think of him thinking of me as a sinner. Anyways we were having a very good time at a footbal game and then we were talking about stuff and somehow the topic just came up about dying. He was like, no offense but if you died right now i think you'd go to hell. He was being really serious. Well, it depressed the hell out of me. Im a nice person, i dont try to judge people, i like to share, my morals are higher then anyone elses and then i get depressed because i cant live up to them. I was really hurt but i didnt let on. He wouldnt elaborate, he said we could talk about it on the phone sometime. Well, do you think it was right of him to say that? Or am i just being dumb? I cant help but feel like im some kind of 'project' hes trying to save...
thats a load of bull. im Catholic. i would know...ask him if he is Christian then why is HE so quick to judge others. after all, it says in the bible, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged...Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your onw eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."(Matthew 6:7:1-5). i hope he gets the message!

Q: How should I ask a girl if she will go out with me?
just say "hey, i really like you. would you like to go out sometime?" i know how hard it is to do that, but just tell her exactly how you feel.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG W/ NERDS! being nerdy isnt a bad thing. and why would u want to be popular if the popular people are mean enough to laugh at you? i wouldnt. and for winning your respect back...just act like nothing happened and if people bring it up, just laugh it off. its ok. my 13th b-day sucked too...it doesnt matter. you'll get over it. and just incase you didnt get my 'hint', find a worthier crush. this guy seems like a real jerk.

Thank you for all your help

P.S. i know my spelling and grammer isnt the best so please try and excuse it.
yes ive done it. yes, its awesome. yes its pricy. it depends on your family's financial situation, but if you can go then most deff. go.

Q: Well, I LOVE middle school, but...its not the greatest. I'm not ugly, I've been out with a couple diff. guys the last few years, and I'm friends with regular/kinda popular/popular people. Although I'm not popular, and I'm not a geek. I have a feeling this year more guys are noticing me 'cause I've gone through some "look changes" as my friends call it, but I've heard that everyone has more fun/life gets better in High School.

I heard most guys get more mature, get done with puberty, etc, and girls get prettier, get nicer, get more mature, etc. Is it true? Does your life really get better in High School?

I'm just wondering. This question is really for anyone who's ever been trough public High School & Middle School. Thanks, everyone!

(13, 8th grade, yeah...)
heck yes hs is better! but iono bout the guys maturing...the guys in my class('09) ar sooo immature, but its ok. once you get into hs you join clubs and you kinda slide into the group of people you "belong" w/. its like everything just clicks together. so try havin fun in ur last year of ms and look foward to hs!

Q: does anyone know any very funny movies for teens? thanks i rate.
well, if you dont mind hearing about the bible, "Godspell" is so random and hilarious. my favorite comedies are monty python stuff though...

Q: I recently met this guy and we're now dating. We aren't exactly what you would call the cutest couple because well, some people don't believe we belong each other. Those some people being my friends.

I'm what you could call the preppy high school cheerleader that hangs out with other preppy cheerleaders/jocks.

He is...well I'm not sure what he is. When you look at him you think oh, just another punkish looking emo druggy kid. Which is what my friends think. But, he really isn't. He did voluntarily dye his hair black and has an eye brow and lip piercing. Along with another one that is below the belt that I haven't seen yet ;P.

But anyway, back to the point. He's a sXe(straightedge). If you don't know what that is, it means that he doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs and doesn't believe in casual sex.

I was recently involved in an accident. The accident should have never happened because we'll the driver and I were drinking. Fortunately, I'm still alive. And because of the accident I've decided not to drink anymore. (I met my bf after my accident).

My friends think that my bf is BS and that he's just kidding himself. And obviously, do not like him. His friends and I get along fine and he doesn't mind my friends, except for the fact that they don't like him. What should I do?
if your "friends" are really this shallow, then you might want to reconsider your friendship. having (or not having) a relationship based on what others expect is bad. so just do whatever you think is right. unfortunately, not many people can help you with this. this is one that you need to figure out on your own. just follow your heart(i know, its corny. but its true!) and do what you think is best...

Q: hey whats everyones opinion on this dress? like idc what you say just be honest ! =]

Q: I want to make a blogring for xanga but I dont know how to phrase it. Here is what I have planned:
I sing along to guitar parts in songs.
Does that make sense? Do you understand what I'm trying to say there? Is there an easier way to state it? Thanks everybody!!
i love that! its so random!
