- Icee_Lemon_ asks...
- "What do I do when I like someone who lives far away?"
- Oh god, tough questions.
- If it doesn't bother you, go ahead with a relationship.
If not, find somebody closer.
- If they like you back, then
be with that person and don't let distance stop you.
- Text her, for goodness' sakes.
And if you don't have a phone, write her a stinkin' letter.
- Get that person's number,
and you guys can text and call each other.
- Use Skype, Facebook.
- Don't you have, like, FaceTime? Can you Skype?
- FaceTime them,
and then just do whatever you can to meet up with them.
- Write often. Call often. Send things often.
Try to enjoy whenever you can get in contact.
Make those times very special.
- I've tried long-distance relationships before,
and they never work out.
You don't get to see them enough,
and you can't be there enough for them.
But don't listen to me. You know your own relationship.
If you really like that person and they're worth it,
do whatever you can to hold on to them.
- Rodger that 437 wants to know...
- "Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael...
who is the best ninja turtle?"
(softly) Ohh. (excitedly) Oh!
- I have no idea-- I'm sorry-- who's the best ninja turtle.
I thought you were talking about painters.
- Guys, I'm gonna be honest. I don't watch that. I never did.
- The one that incorporates his ninja skills
with his people skills
along with his personal fighting skills.
- I don't really know which one's which.
But I like the name Michelangelo, and he's a cool artist.
So that one.
- Donatello, 'cause people say he's really bad,
'cause he just has a stick.
But a stick can be helpful in many ways.
- Which is the one with the orange?
Was that, um-- that's Michelangelo, I think.
He was the cool one, 'cause he's funny.
And he just looks like he likes to have a good time.
- Michelangelo.
'Cause he's so fun, and he's the best skateboarder.
- Michelangelo. Jokes around.
He likes pizza, which don't we all like pizza?
And he still gets the job done.
- They're all very talented in their own way,
but Michelangelo is just hilarious.
- I guess whichever one masks your personality the most.
If you're the intelligent one, you'd go Donnie.
The leader, Leo.
The aggressive, angry one, Raph.
Or just the carefree one, Mikey.
- Prince Garcia asks...
- "What's a good way to calm yourself down?"
- If you put your hand to the heart, it will walk you down.
- It's always good when you have
one of those little squishy balls
you can squish out your anger with.
- Lay on the couch, face down, with a pillow.
And just do that for, like, five minutes and you'll be good.
- Bubble bath.
- I like to take a hot shower or bath.
- Writing whatever you're feeling down,
depending on what kind of emotions you're having,
like what you need to calm down from.
- Go outside. Take a nice, fresh breath of air.
And then just, at the top of your lungs, scream,
♪ What's going on?! ♪
- Meditate, sweetie. Meditate.
- Deep breathing is a good idea. Yoga is a good idea.
- Take a very deep breath. Let it out very slowly.
And do that four or five times, and focus on your breathing.
- Two rules I live by:
rule number one, don't sweat the little things;
rule number two, everything's a little thing.
So just think that, close your eyes, relax,
and say, "Everything's a little thing. Calm down."
And you'll be a lot better off.
- Brianna Novinsky says...
- "How do I tell my parents to leave me alone
in the nicest way possible?"
- Good luck with that. I don't know. I don't think they will.
I mean, especially if you try to make them leave you alone,
they're gonna be like, "Suspect. What's going on in there?"
And then they're not gonna want to leave you alone even more.
- There is no nice way to tell your parents
that you want to be left alone.
- Do whatever they've asked you to do
without them having to tell you.
Maybe they won't bother you anymore,
and you can have some alone time all to yourself.
- You just have to say, "Leave me alone, please."
- "Parents, I mean this in the nicest way possible.
Leave me alone." (snaps fingers)
- "I'd like to spend some time apart."
That sounds like you're breaking up.
- You go, "Mom and Dad, PLEASE just leave me alone.
I'm doing my own stuff right now."
- Ask them to sit down for a moment.
And then explain to them what you're doing
so that they won't be worried about
the time when you need your space.
- Say, "Hey, Mom or Dad, can I talk to you?
Can you please leave me alone?
I really want my privacy right now."
- "Hey, Mom and Dad, love you so much. You're amazing.
Is there anyone better than you? I think not.
And by the way, can I just have a minute?
Like, it's cool, right?"
- PumpkinDylan BOSS asks...
- "How long is too long when it comes to playing video games?"
- As a mother, I say it's always too long!
Stop playing video games!
- If you're asking that question, then it's probably too long.
- It's how much your parents, and yourself, let yourself play.
- If you're by yourself and you've gone over
an hour and a half, then maybe you should take a break.
- More than a couple hours in front of a screen is too long
for video games, TV, or anything else.
- Try to limit it to maybe a couple hours,
because there's a lot of other things
that you need to experience in life.
- Four hours, and then get up and walk around.
Or your legs are gonna hurt.
- You know when your eyes get really dry
from just staring at the TV? Yeah, you should probably stop then.
- When there's a point where you forget
about your own personal hygiene, you've gone way over the limit.
- If you start playing video games in the summer,
and then you look outside and it's snowing, probably a bad sign.
- There's no limit. There's no limit.
You could go for as long as you want. There's no limit.
- If you find that you haven't taken a shower in months,
if you find that you cannot find your way out of your room
because the door is covered in cheese puffs,
if you find that you only sweat Mountain Dew
and your bed is covered in Doritos,
you still have not gamed long enough,
and you need to keep going, my good sir.
There is not such thing as too much time gaming.
