im wondering what's the best way~ besides brushing your teeth, to whiten them. what would be the best and safest way to whiten my teeth. i know there are some really great teeth whitening tooth pastes but i'm not sure of the names, and also i've heard the crest premium white strips work good, any ideas? (link)
| |
I just wanted to give you some advice on the whitening strips. I've used several different kinds, including Crest, and they've all worked really well and I saw a noticeable difference within a few days. The only thing is that the strips tend to make your teeth very sensitive and I had to stop using them because I couldn't even breathe in because simply air hitting my teeth would kill. But I know some other people that it didn't bother them nearly as bad. But they do work!

I want a tattoo.. and i want a quote, not too long, maybe about life or hope or something intersting.. any ideas? (link)
|
I got the quote "live and let live" in italian (vive e lascia vivere).
A girl I knew also got the quote "one heart one love" which I thought was really cute.

ugh parents... i know they aren't bad and that i should be thankful to have them. but sometimes they are soooo annoying!!!!!
my parents are difficult and stubborn. if i tell them something, they'll just say their opinion
example- i tell my mom i'm having boy issues. i have a boyfriend but like another guy at the same time. she will just tell me her opinion. she'll say "what?? oh no dont be like those girls. dont be a boy hopper who goes from guy to guy. you need to focus on school" gahhhh and all i was asking for is for her to make me feel better and figure out what to do. but instead, she just made me feel bad about myself and made everything worse and mad at her.
another example- I got a B in my math class (trigonometry) and i know i could have done better.. but when i told my parents they immediately freaked and was like- "ohh thats not good.. you need to maintain your good GPA so you can get into college.. i think you may have dropped to the B honor roll.. you need to stay on the A honor roll.." gahhh and its like- i studied for this math final for like 7 hours and i tried soo hard to get a good grade in this, and they dont appreciate how hard i'm trying..
another example- my dad is a volleyball coach at the same club that i play at (he coaches a different team, thank the lord. id go nuts if he coached my team) and so i will skip a setters practice because i have to study for school because i'll have finals.. and he'll get mad and tell me to go to the practice for a little while.. but he doesnt understand that i'm 17, he cant really control me anymore. i have a mind of my own... ugh its so frustrating..
i think this is my main problem with my parents- i feel like i can't tell them anything because I know that if i do tell them something, they'll make me feel bad about it. how do i fix this?? i cant just talk to them about it because if i do.. again... they'll make me feel bad about it and they're very stubborn and just give me their opinion... in this case their opinion would be- "what?! what do you mean you cant tell us anything?? you should be able to tell us anything!! how can you not trust your own parents.." blah blah blah..
so how can i fix this dilemma?? (link)
|
Oh I feel like we might have the same parents, because this is exactly what I go through. Nothing ever seems to be good enough, and theres always something else I could've or should've done. Believe me, I understand.
But after my senior year in high school, and freshman year in college, I got into a decent amount of trouble, and it took me a bit to realize that If i had followed their advice, I wouldn't be in the problem at all. As much as I hate to admit it, they have been around and they do know a few things. While it may be incredibly annoying, and asking them for advice is just asking for myself to get mad and annoyed, I have started to listen to them, and it has already saved me on some occassions.
Also understand they grew up under completely different circumstances, and realize that the advice they give me may have been good for "back then", but it wouldn't really apply to current situations. But overall, try giving them a listen, and instead of completely writing off their ideas, reconsider them, even if it just a little.

Hi,
I was wondering if it really makes a difference if I change my operating system from Vista to Windows 7. I'm wondering if I should go through the trouble to change it. Will it make my computer faster to switch to windows 7?
Thanks for the help. (link)
| |
I personally have had MAJOR issues with Vista. It's slow, and overall just not user-friendly. I would definetly reccommend switching to Windows 7.

will i loose weight if this is what my diet consist of:
breakfast:less then half cup of oatmeal (the kind you boil, not instant), half a cup of SKIM PLUS CHOCOLATE MILK (no fat and a lot of protein but a lot of sugar and carbs..) big cup of coffee with half and half (i have half a mugs worth, then a thermas full of it then sometimes if im hungry i have two small ice coffess with half and half and splenda)
snack: 5-10 carrots
lunch: salad with grilled chicken and water. or salmon in salad or quinwa (however u spell it!) with chicken, or salad with sliced turkey breast (u get what i mean....)
(here is where the second small ice coffe comes in if im hungry)
dinner: either grilled chicken with veggies and kasha. salmon with veggies and kasha. quinwa with chicken. or tuna steak with mushrooms. (i take the left overs for lunch the next day.. hence the repeat)
then ill have a diet coke and dont eat after like 7.
and im planning on adding in tredmil or eliptical twice a week.
i have been doing this for about a week now and im wondering if its worth it to continue this. will i loose a lot... how long till it shows.... lets say i dont excerice will i still loose?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW! OR HAVE ANY ADDITONS OR WANT TO ALTER THIS IN ANY WAYYY PLEASEEEE. (link)
| |
A way I cut out a decent amount of calories out of my diet is swtiching from half and half in my coffee to skim milk. The calories from the half and half add up, especially when you have mulitple cups a day.

As much as my hatred for guys are, I'm not entirely convinced hes using you. My advice would be to keep holding your ground and DO NOT give in if you don't want too. The longer you hold out, and the longer he stays around, theres more of a chance he might be the real deal. But at the same time, guys do like the chase and getting to sleep with you may be his goal. Just feel the situation out. With a little more time you should be able to figure out his real intentions. Just don't ever do something you dont want to do!

i have a problem.
i cant decide what to do this summer.
i want to go to this program in the galpagos islands but i feeling like il be a loner there.
i went to a camp before and i did not have so many friends. but i cant stay home so what do i do?
im not very good at maknig friends.
please help, anything at all is appreciated. (link)
| |
I also hate being home during the summers. If your set on going away, which I think would be a great thing to reconsider, then look into other stuff in your town or city. Get a job for spare money, get involved in some community service projects. Also I don't know how old you are, but I also took some summer classes at my nearby community college. I also singed up for a workout class at a gym. I literally did anything to keep me busy, and if you look around I gurantee you'll stuff that interests you.

I swear it was love at first sight, because ever since the first day I met jason he's the only guy I ever thought about. The problem is we're in a non dating relationship and its his choice! One day I went to see him and ran into a few of his freinds who said he was with this really hot girl and I never said anything to him about it because we're not official. But he knows I care about him more than anything in the world but he will not cave he is not going to have a real relationship with me now and maybe ever. I feel like the girl he can fall back on but he says its not like that. He says that he cares about me and im the only girl he does anything with but he's not ready to commit. Now there is this other guy chris he is my ex and we just started talking again like a month ago. He told me the first day we started talking again that he missed me so much and when I told him about jason he said he would wait until I realized we were meant for eachother. and he is doing exactly that! chris calls me every day and we talk on the phone for hours, he drops his plans for me every time I want to see him, and he tells me every single time we talk that he loves me. This is so hard I love jason and he's the one I really want but I dont think I will ever be abled to have him. Then there is chris my first real love and best friend who does everything for me and makes me feel so special, but sometimes when were together I cant help but think he's not right cause he's not jason. What should I do? (link)
|
Ok, it sounds to me like neither of them are the right choice for you. Hate to be the one to break it to you, but if this guy Jason doesn't want to commit to you know, he most likely won't ever. To be brutally honest, stop waiting for something that most likely won't come. I know it may be really hard, but you need to distance yourself from him, and soon. Don't be that girl that follows him around waiting for him to notice you. You're better then that...you don't need him.
And as for your ex boyfriend, he sounds like a great guy, but it also sounds like you're not that into him. And you need to be honest with him, because right now you're doing to him exactly what this other kid is doing to you. Don't settle! If you believe theres someone out there thats more compatible for you then their probably is, and its your responsibility to yourself to find the best for you.
So the bottom line, let go of both of them. Your ex sounds like a great friend, and if you want, stay friends with him. Just let him know your true intentions.

does having sex hurt?
and how much does it bleed the firt time you have it?
oh and does it hurt to be fingered (link)
|
Um not to scare you but my first time KILLED. I have no idea why but it was the worst pain ever. Sorry lol I don't mean to scare you or anything. After a few minutes the pain does go away and its fine after that.
And fingering doesn't really hurt. It may feel a little different at first but it really doesn't hurt.

i realize now, that when your heart breaks,
you gotta fight like hell to make sure you're still alive.
because you are. and the pain you feel: it's life. the confusion and
the fear that's there to remind you that, somewhere out there,
there's something better. and that something is worth fighting for.
-one tree hill
She can't
fall for you
if you aren't there to catch her...

And sometimes, i just wonder
what the world would be like
without obsessions

There's nothing scarier than getting something you
want because then, you have something to lose.

i miss you. what can i say,

I'm gettin my license in 2 weeks and I am so scared! I'm not a bad driver I just don't know what they are going to have me do. Has anyone tested for their license in North Carolina? If so what do you have to do for the driving test and is there a written test? Also do you drive your own car or is one provided for you? (link)
|
I live in New York but I understand, the nervous feeling before your test is like the worst feeling ever.
But once you start driving just STAY CALM and think about every single thing before you do it. Go slow, follow directions perfectly, and always do everything as safely as you can. Double check every move before you make it. And of course practice!
Once the test starts you'll calm down and realize its no different then having your mom in the car next to you. Just dont freak yourself out!

Lately, ive just been really wanting to connect with God, and get to know him like everyone talks about. I want to improve as a christian, and i want to have God change my life so i can change others. No one in my circle of life is really in to that. And i feel that i have so many questions about God that i read in the bible but no one to talk to them about! I am in a youth group, but seriously, no one takes anything seriously, and they get real annoying after awhile, because they are so disrespectful and no one is really looking for that relationship with God. Last night i was reading, and it was saying all this stuff in mathews about not going to heaven if you break a ten commandment, but i thought it was if you just believe in him? did i read it wrong? or what? Also, everytime i read the bible, i start to cry for some reason, and i get really scared. and i dont no why. and i know god wouldnt want that for me at all. Where are some parts in the bible that talk about how much God loves us, and how he frogives us and doesnt expect us to be perfect. Because thats what im struggling with. and how should i start reading the bible because im new to this and i dont understand how to start, like where to start... thank you so much for helping. oh by the way im 14/f (link)
|
First off, me being a Christian for my whole life, I can say its great that you want to explore and are this curious at this young of an age. I went to a Catholic school my whole life, where we studied the Bible daily, and I still have yet to partially understand everything. One main thing I can tell you is the Bible can be percepted in several ways, and there really is no "right" way to interpret it.
There are several religous books that you can read that disect the Bible, and explain each part. You can always try getting one of those. Or theres also Church. Depending on what sect of Christianity you are, go to a mass or service. The readings and sermons help explain things a lot.
Also, you can always go talk to an annointed and recognized relgious official (ie priest, nun) and ask them your questions and express your confusion.
Hope I helped =)

This is a fairly ridiculous question, but it`s legitimate so please bare with me. I want a boyfriend. The whole idea of enjoying someone`s company and being close gives me butterflies.
I try so hard to be everything a guy would want. I dress attractively everyday, I always wear make-up and do my hair. I'm confident and flirt accordingly. I get straight A`s - I don`t want to be all looks. I try to be friends with guys and nice to their friends. I have everything other girls do - and more! Why isn`t this happening for me?
I'm 5'8 and between 115-120 lbs, I exercise a lot and love competitive sports. I looove going to hockey/football games and really getting into it and talking to guys. At amusement parks, I`m always the first one onto the most daring and adventurous rides. Every chance I get, I go to dances and parties. Aren`t those good places to meet a guy?
This all sounds like ridiculous bragging, but I`m trying to prove (to you and myself) that I have what it takes to be liked by guys. I love laughing and making people laugh, also. I want someone to have fun with, to spoil and to care for. Sometimes this 'want' for a boyfriend gets so uncontrollable that it takes over my emotions. Sometimes I think maybe I`m just not deserving of a decent (or any) boyfriend.
I must be missing something - what could it be? It`s been three years since I`ve last had a boyfriend.. everytime a guy and I get close, there`s always some excuse and fades away. I`m young, I don`t want to miss out on all of that pointless (yet cute) `puppy love`. (link)

Woah, this sounds EXACTLY like me. Its kinda creepy...
But anyway I felt that way for a long time until I finally got sick of waiting and I stopped searching. I kept telling myself that I was on my own and I didn't need anyone else to make me happy. I didn't need anyone at all, and I could just live my life on my own. Although this idea doesn't sound very optimistic, it really does work. My friends envied me because I never let myself get caught up with the drama of guys. While they were sitting there getting their heart broken time and time again, I stayed out of it, and like I said, I was being envied for how strong I was.
And so I learned that its going to take a pretty special guy to break down my barrier. And well I found him. I kept up my barrier and he was absolutely relentess in knocking it down. He finally did and now I have an amazing boyfriend. And I know that if he broke up with me, I would be ok. Because I let myself come to believe that I don't need other people to be me. I can live life by myself and make the best of it. Believe me, I'm soo much happier now.
So basically, keep your head up and learn to not be so dependent on other people. If you this desperate for a boyfriend you really aren't ready for one yet. Just focus on YOUR life and what YOU'RE doing. The right one will find you someday.
Sorry for such a long answer, but your situation sounded so much like mine, and I knew how that felt.

You answered somebodys question and you said that you did squats and lunges for a month straight almost every day. How many did you do a day? (link)
| |
I started off with about 50 of each a day then slowly started to increase the amount. Make sure you skip and rest a day if your legs are sore though.
|
okay um this is probably not in the right category, sorry.
13/f
so i've heard a lot of people at my school think i am annoying. i honestly don't know why they think that. i don't think i do anything annoying. what could be some things that would make people think that about me?
also, how can i be less annoying?
thanks a bunch [: (link)
| |
Maybe you're really loud and you don't realize it. Or maybe you cut into people's conversation and eavesdrop.I don't know. Just think about everything you say and do before you do it. Be geuinely nice and mind your own buisness when needed. People your age don't get reps for very long. I wouldn't even worry about it.
|
|
Is there some exercises or some exercise program (not a really expensive one) that targets by hips and thighs? (and rear) (link)
| |
You can't get a better exercise then doing a bunch of squats and lunges w/ weights. After doing them almost every day for a month straight my thighs butt and my whole upper leg in general are hard as rocks and in the best of shape.
|
Its hard for me to talk to guys first off, and then its especially hard to talk to guys outside of my school (and yesss, my crush doesnt go to my school). With my friends, I normally talk about just like gossip, but I know that guys don't like gossip.
So what is there to talk about? (link)
| |
With most guys I've noticed, they take great enjoyment in talking about themselves. So ask him questions! How was his day? Does he play any sports? If he does ask him about that. He'll feel great if you show you're truly interested in what's hes got to say. Just make sure you don't make the questions get kind of creepy or stalkerish....
|
|
How do you get a guy to like you....im 15/f. i think this guy might be intrested but i want him to notice me and like me. (link)
| |
No matter what anyone says, guys DO almost always look at how you look. Dress up a lot, do your hair nice, and basically just make sure you always look good around him. I know this sounds shallow, but if a girl looks cute, it almost always will get the guys attention. After you start talking to him for a while, and he gets to see the real you, start to impress him with your personality.
