about

im melanie. im 16 years old. i will be a junior in high school. i love giving advice and helping people :D everyone says im good at it, so ASK AWAY! absolutely anything :)

advice

between drexel university and pennsylvania state university, which one should i go for in terms of getting a higher salary when i get out of college? i am majoring in business - finance

Personally, they are both great. My grandpop went to Penn State and he majored in engineering and he is now and millionaire. My father went to University of Delaware and Drexel Law and he is now getting a very lofty salary. There both great schools, don't decide on salary, pick the school where you think you would excell more. (If I had to choose, I'd pick Penn but thats just my opinion)

any advice to how to lose 20lbs by the end of july??? thanks!
oh i am about 164lbs, 5'5, female, usa

it is very difficult to lose 20 pounds in a month basically. 10 would be more suitable. Anyway, you will need to split your meals up. Meaning, having six small healthy meals a day contang fruit, veggies, and protein etc. The things you'll need to give up are junk food, some dairy, bread, limit your carbs! If your a nighttime snacker- forget that! You shouldnt eat after 7:30 p.m. To tone your body for burning calories, you'll need to workout 3-4 times a week. Run, dance, jump rope, Cardio, etc. If you follow this plan you will probably lose weight. There are about 3500 calories in a pound. If you burn 500-+ calories a day, by only eating 2000 a day, you will probably lose 1-2 pounds a week!

what is better, a windows pc or a mac? the design of the mac's are awesome, but people say you cant have some things on there. e.g. if you were to buy something that needs computer instalation, you wouldnt be able to do it on a mac sometimes?

I honestly think that macs are a whole lot fun and easier to use. (I have one) but if you want the basic, pcs are good as well.

Does anyone go to a private high school? Or more spefcifically a private christian high school? I might be switching schools from public to a private christian school and im really nervous about making friends. Im usually pretty outgoing anf friendly but when i dont know people i tend to be quiet. Does anyone have tips or advice on making friends and how cliquey those types of schools are? I really need some help with how to make friends and be accepted and all that. At my public school new kids that conme during the yr seem to be accepted and given a chance at popularity and everyone seems to try and make friends with them, is it like that everywhere? I dont want to be popular i just want some really good friends that i can hang with without drama and fighting. Thanks so much and i will rate all your helpful advice! :D

And is grading a lot harder? Im pretty smart and in advanced classes and the school is known for good academics (which is partially why i would go) so is the workload and curriculum really challenging? Thanx

well i go to a private catholic high school, and when i first started to go there (im a freshman) I was the only person to go to that school from my elementary school. (I went to Catholic Grammer school as well) I made friends immediatly. Everyone was so nice and friendly. My advice to you is to get involved and sports, clubs, and extra activities. As for grading, it really depends on which school you go too. Some might be more difficult than others, (if you go to a prep school like me) the courses are usually more faster paced and harder. But as long as you just keep up with the studying and the homework you'll be fine!

hope i helped;]

My shoulder hurts so badly, from carrying my backpack. It's been like this all year, and it got even worse recently. I think that it might be considered a muscle knot, but I'm not sure.
Besides visiting a doctor, taking advil, and using a different kind of backpack, what can I do to make it feel better?

i think you should go to the doctor and see what him/her can do for it=]

k i really like this guy in my class and hes in all my classes but i cant tell if he likes me or not. we usually walk home together because we live near eachother and when im not walking with him or with him i always see him glancing in my direction. we get along really well and all that stuff but he hates my two best friends because they purposely annoy him. also i dont know what to do because im pretty sure one of my best friends are jelous because she knows i like him and she keeps telling me that he keeps msging her for some reason and she told me that he asked out this one girl but im pretty sure its a lie because when i talk to him he says that he hates her and my bestfriend didnt hear it from him either. but it still bugs me because i really really like him. any advice please help me!!

well if i were you i would just keep doing what your doing=] just keep talking to this guy, but dont make it to obvious or clingy. but sounds like to me that your friend is jealous, but dont let that get to you. eventually this guy will ask you out if you just be yourself, be confident, and keep talking to hime=]
hope i helped:)

hey im a guy 13 too. I wear abercrombie all the time. i know this emo girl shes not that emo she just dresses like one, shes quite normal. shes really hot and has loads of friends...she was going to score my best friend until he backed out. now I talk to her alot. I talked to her about music for about an hour and every song I said she liked it or liked it alot.. she said she didnt know I had such good music taste. then she asked me who was the hottest girl in her school. I didnt say her... then we started talking about strange stuff.......like what find hot in a girl what she finds hot in a man....I want to know if shes interested in me.. she called me a loser kind of joking.....she doesnt act interested in me when my best friend is around. when hes around she acts alot less immature and strange. she thought i would like rave music. she also set me up with another girl one (of her friends)....I said I wanted to go out with this other girl and she said she was a complete loser and I shouldnt go out with her and shes hated by everyone BTW Im not in her school but I used to be she wasnt there then....I think she cant make up her mind whether she likes me or not? how can I tell if she likes me?

well..every girl acts different when they like guys. here are some tips for you:
Watch her body language. All girls are different so be aware of the signs.


If she's shy, the tone of her voice might be a little higher and she might start to play with her hair (smoothing it down, twirling, flipping) or adjusting her clothes. She'll smile and laugh, perhaps nervously, at your comments and jokes.

If she's confident, she'll match the tone of her voice with yours and she'll smile and laugh at your jokes. She'll act the same way with you as she does around her friends, only friendlier and a little less bubbly.

If she's flirty, she may be difficult to read. Flirtatious girls may flirt with just guy friends and it can be misconstrued as a crush. Because most girls do not want to be obvious, the flirtatious ones might flirt with you a little bit less or they might flirt with you even more. They might tap your shoulder while talking to you, gently push you or burst out laughing when you tell a joke.

compliment her. girls love it when guys compliment them trust me=] and just keep talking to her and let her know that you like her without actually telling her. give signals. and finally dont care what other people think of her. its your opinion of her is what counts
hope i helped=]

He is tan, tallish, black hair, muscular, handsome, green eyes. i want a good name for him, im thinking about chase but im not sure. i want the name to have a meaning that reflects characteristics of wolves like moon, or wolf or something. i would appreciate any names you could give me that would fit the role and please include the meanings of the name.

so far i found
Udolf: Prosperous Wolf Ulrich wolf ruler
Ulrik: wolf ruler

well theres this guy. (i know sounds like every other question but bear with me) ok im pretty sure he likes me. i REALLY like him and should i wait for him to make the first move??


and wat are some signs that a guy is into you and likes you?? (preferrably for guys to answer but girls who KNOW what theyre talking about are ok too)




thanx SOO much!

well..im a girl, i believe the guy should make the first move because its classy. If i guys into you, he wont look you in the eye when your talking to you, he will also treat you like one of his friends around his friends, and finally he'll shower you with compliments without even knowing it..guys have all different ways of showing girls they like them, so pay attention to the little details because they could deffinatly tell you that he likes you=)
hope i helped

i'm confused....
13/f

oh dont worry..your just ovulating, if i spelled it right, it basically means the egg is coming, and if it isnt fertilized your period comes. Don't worry its normal, everyone gets it.

Alright, so i have two best friends. They went to a party the other night. I was walking with one of them home and she told me what she was doing and i was shocked. She said that he went out drinking at the party with my other friend, and they were making out with guys and whatever. I know it may not be a shock to you, but they would NEVER do that.. and when she told me i was devestated...although i could'nt tell her, i was dropping hints, but that doesn't help much... so now i have no idea what to do, i figured that they would never do something like that and now, im by myself... the only person who has probably never gotten drunk in my entire grade....but thats not the problem, the problem is i dont think i will be able to forgive them... i dont care if you think its what all teenagers do, its not because im living proof that not all teenagers drink and smoke, so dont give me that. I just want to know how to cope with it.

honestly i think your making the right choice. If i were you i wouldnt hang out with your friends who drink, i know you probably think im crazy that im telling you to not hang with your besties, but if you do keep hanging out with them they might pressure you into drinking or maybe even drugs, thats what happened to my aunt when she was in her teenage years. Trust me if your friends keep drinking and get hooked, they'll regret it when there older..so live above the influence and be smart, and make good choices:]
hope i helped

I'm having my Sweet Sixteen this weekend, and I'm having a Masquerade Ball. I love the idea and I think it'll be fun, but all we'll be doing for two hours is dancing. Does anyone have any ideas for games and activities that aren't childish? No spin-the-bottle or seven minutes in heaven, because it's going to be supervised. And no games that involve going outside. Thanks!

i was gonna do this for my party but i didnt have enough time to put it together, if your guests are wearing costumes or dresses, have a costume contest, or this game called a murder mystery, have someone pretend they were murdered and you and your friends have to figure out who did it. Such as having your parents or supervisors dress up and leave clues.
just a thought!
