http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/ash23 I am a current student. I am 21 years old, and getting married this year! I work with elementary students daily, mentoring them and implementing educational skills. I love spending time with family and friends, and being there for people in need. I have spent many hours volunteering for community hospitals and have experience in peer counseling. I love- listening, having a good laugh, shopping, anything that deals with makeup, scrapbooking, and just living life. I believe that life should be lived to the fullest-with no regrets-just a positive attitude that you can change the future and learn from mistakes. en-us Most likely your mom does no want you to dye your hair because of your age! (Im assuming your sister is older?) You should talk to your mom about making a compromise, to maybe dye your hair in a few years. Black dye is pretty dramatic, and thats prob. why she has a problem with it. ash23 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:34:19 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/help_with_mom_an_hair 570592 In every friend you have, there will most likely be things you dont like about them. Dont try to pick out all the flaws in your friend. If there are things that she is doing that really bothers you, then talk to her about it in a nice way. If you communicate your feelings to her, most likely you will feel better about the things she does that annoys you. Good Luck!! ash23 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:33:19 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/annoying_friend 416947 You shouldn't base your beauty off of someone elses opinion. You are as beautiful as you think you are. The key to being beautiful, is feeling beautiful because you love yourself. If you can love yourself, you confidence will shine through, and people will see that in you. If you are confident about your body.. your boyfriend will see that, and believe that too. Take time to sit down and write a list of things you love about yourself. I promise this will help you on your road to high self esteem. ash23 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:30:05 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_to_feel_beautiful 416942 I am pretty sure 16. The best thing to do is go talk to someone at a local Taco Bell. They will give you info, and even an application if you are old enough!! ash23 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:27:20 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/jobes 416940 Making out usually comes naturally, and it isnt something you really need to worry about. Remember that you dont have to make out or hook up with anyone just because they want you. Its your choice! ash23 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 10:19:43 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/making_out_566 383118 You dont have to track it really. Its your own choice. If you want to keep track get a calander and put like hearts on the days you have your period, then no one will know what your tracking. ash23 Mon, 19 May 2008 10:39:57 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/me_please_resoned_asp_141340 353101 I know how you feel. Growing up I had two younger brothers. One was four years younger and one was ten years younger. During certain situations I would always get in more trouble than my younger brothers, when their behavior seemed to be worse than mine. Now that I am older I see that my parents just expected more out of me, because I was the oldest. The yonger kids usually just get away with more because they are younger than you... Your parents dont mean to favor them or make you feel bad, but they have to discipline you in a different way than your younger brother, because you both are different ages! Dont feel bad! Once your a little older and so is your brother it will start to change! ash23 Mon, 19 May 2008 10:37:31 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_does_my_brother_get_treated_better 353099 Yes see a doctor! Some girls suffer from horrible periods, where they miss school and work for days because of the pain they are in. There are a few options to help you with this that your doctor can give you. The visit is worth it! Good luck ash23 Wed, 07 May 2008 08:51:50 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/bad_cramping 338245 I agree with the headphone idea. Since you are already set on NOT talking to your parents, the best idea would be to AVOID from hearing it. You might just have to lock yourself in your room for the night. Good Luck! ash23 Tue, 06 May 2008 09:08:25 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/my_parents_having_sex_really_disturbs 337167 I dont like food with freezer burn. I just think it never tastes the same. I usually throw it out. ash23 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:41:20 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/freezer_burn 316675 Its all different with everyone. I just went to my dentist recently and found out that I only have two wisdom teeth. (They havent grown in)-and I am almost 21. It all depends. Your dentist could give you an estimate of when you will get them, or if you have any at all. You can get them removed before they even grow in. ash23 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:31:53 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/when_are_your_wisdom_teeth_supposed 311358 Then why would you want to be emo? Being "emo" is just falling into another one of those stereotypes. Why dont you try being yourself. Being someone that you are not will only bring pain, and no true happiness to your life. ash23 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:44:41 -0700 282338 She is so cute! Im so jealous!

You need to make sure she is talking to you about this! She cant give the baby up for adoption with out your consent! Its your baby too. You need to talk to her right away about how important this baby is to you! You need to let her know that she needs to support you and be strong no matter how hard it is for her.. I hope you can find a way to communicate with her! Good Luck ash23 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:27:09 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_to_say_to_my_fiance_about_adoption 280218 People start rumors to get a reaction out of you. Dont give them what they want. Its a rumor. Your real friends will know those rumors arn't true because they are the people who really know YOU. Dont listen to anyone, and dont give them that reaction they are looking for. ash23 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:24:09 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_do_you_do_when_rumors_or_drama 280213 You should ask him. Flat out ask him if that is what he said. Communication is VITAL in any relationship. Just talk to him about it.

There are a lot of requirements, and equipment you will need. Find a licensing agency in your town and talk to them about it. ash23 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:20:17 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/daycares 280203 It will never really be exactly on the right date. There are factors that can prolong you from starting or make you start earlier. For example, stress can make your period start late, which can put you off. Dont worry about it. It will always be a little different. ash23 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:18:31 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/confused_about_my_period 280199 We should have left a long time ago- 4,000 is a lot.

Sometimes we have some really good questions with really good answers, but some users will go on about other topics on that thread. So we lock that to keep the good stuff but stop it from going out of topic. ash23 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:18:26 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/locked_questions_65288 275544 You can still get pregnant, but it can be harder to get pregnant.
