My friend has Photo shop, and I really liked it.
Is the Free download a gimic? Or is it really free?
How long do you have it for, and does it screw up your computer at all?
Thanks.
Only download the free trial off of the website. The trial lasts for 30-45 days (it changes, I'm not sure of the most current time limit). It's deffinitely worth it! However, you only have it for that amount of time. It doesn't mess anything up on your comp, just make sure you have enough space because the file is rather large. It's something you may want to look into purchasing after you've used it, though it's pretty pricey.
"Ah, I'm so happy I found your question! Well, I have extremely unmanagable hair as well but I've learned to tame it with a straightening iron. Japenese straightening runs about $1500-3000 so unless you have some money racked up in the bank, I don't reccomend it. Other chemical straightening systems (true, there is one for about $75) don't exactly straighten, they just tame it a bit but dry it out drastically. I reccomend splurging on a $100 straightening iron. They work great (trust me, if it works on my hair, it'll work on yours!)"
Where could I get one?
Sally's Beauty Supply has some GREAT ones. Sometimes they're on sale too & they work miracles. Good luck! Check www.sallybeauty.com
My hair is unmanagable.
Even when I straigten it, it is all frizzy and poofy. Its so frustrating.
I hate it.
I heard on advicenators someone telling someone else you can get your hair permanantly straightened in a salon for like 75 bucks. I don't want to get in Japanese straightened because it costs a lot of money. If I get it done at a salon for 75 bucks, how long will it last?
Does it really work?

I must say i love the way your advice colum looks.
If you could can you tell me how you made it centered?
thanks so much! i made it that way with CSS which you can read up on here (http://lissaexplains.com). I have a paid account which is why I had the option to make it like that. :)
any ideas for types of pony tails? and how to do it? or just any type of really easy and quick hair-dos for school :]
my hair is getting boring.. :[
peaceandlove.
Try putting your hair in a ponytail, then wrapping a piece around the band so you can't see it. It creates quite a nifty look. Or you could take a chunk of hair (where your bangs would be if you had them, if you don't this'll still work) and twist them up to create an eightie "poof" and then put the rest in a ponytail. It's basically the standard rockstar ponytail. Try 2 ponytails and wrap hair around the bands like in the first ponytail suggestion I gave you. Have fun with it & if you need anymore help, just ask. ♥
Okay so theres this girl on my bus lets say her names Kayla. She is SO ANNOYING!!! I cant stand her! shes a real popular girl (I dont know why!) and she is so mean. She has never done anything to me, except just make me mad. anyways, theres another kid on the bus lets say his names greg and hes a grade younger than her. Noone really likes him on the bus except for the real shy people who dont stick up for anyone. I personally dont know him and he doesnt know me. Kayla says the meanest things to him, like that hes fat and ugly and makes fun of his friends and stuff. I can bearly take it because I feel so bad for him. All these kids pick on him and he has a hard time sticking up for himself because there are so many mean kids on my bus. Shes actually mean to everyone that doesnt wear "the latest and greatest fashion". She was mean to one of my good friends because she didnt like the smell of her hand sanitizer. HAND SANITIZER!!! She needs to grow up desperetly. I really want to stick up for these kids. She actually hit one of these kids one day. The worst part is, our bus driver doesnt even care.
could you help me think of something to say or do?!?
ACE
P.S i rate high
This girl is too much & since you feel a passion towards stopping, that's exactly what you should do. Sometimes it's hard to stand up to people like her because they are intimidating. She's going to keep doing this because it gives her power over people. Sticking up for what you believe it can come with consequences. For example, she may try to say stuff to hurt your feelings but show her you can't be pushed around. One day, just tell her exactly how you feel. Be stern & confident, not sheepish & don't show fear. If you do this, everyone will be glad to have you around because you were such a help. Good luck & if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. ;D
Me and my boyfriend have been together for alomost a year & a half. We are (were) supposed to get married next month. Last night we were talking and he told me something that he had been holding in since last summer that he wanted to get off his chest. I was pregnant last summer and miscarried, he told me he doesnt believe I was ever pregnant. This has hurt me so much, we are not little kids, in fact I am older than him (21 & 23) I would not make up such a horrible story, I was crushed when it happened and still cry at night sometimes when I think about it. He says he cant marry me till he has proof. Getting "proof" isnt a problem, but i feel now as though I cant marry him becuase he doesnt trust me and Ive always been told if you dont have trrust you dont have nothin. I Love him more than I could ever say and the thought of losing him upsets me to no end, but at that same time i feel so betrayed by him like im some kind of monster that would make up a story like that. What should I do? please help Ill rate!!
Sounds like your boyfriend is being over paranoid. Don't worry, this doesn't make him a bad person & he's not losing trust in you. Perhaps the entire experience freaked him out a bit. Judging by the fact you don't understand why he's doing this, it's probably just a bazaar personal notion that he feels he needs proof. Get him the proof just to settle him. Don't doubt his trust in you, just know that he's probably confused by this & hurt as well. Good luck & if you need any more help, just let me know. :D
My friend is hanging out with my old friend. my old friend is into bad things like sex and stuff. I don't want my friend to be around those kind of people.
Friendship: a very delicate thing. The only way to have a successful one is to make sure communication is clear on both sides. Unfortunately, you don't have control over who your friend hangs out with/what they do. However, you are allowed to have an opinion & share it with them. Bring them aside one day & tell your feelings. A good friend will listen & take them into account, even if they decide against what you want. Good luck hun!
My bf is best friends with a guy that is just plain creepy. For one thing, he is 38 years old and still lives with his mother. He is also a pedophile, and only goes for very young girls. My bf has even told me that he's a pedophile, so I'm not making it up.
The thing that bothers me is that I've caught his friend staring at me inappropriatly at parties, and he's even winked at me. I had to give his friend a ride home once (because the loser doesnt have a car ) and he told me he liked me for a long time and told me to kiss him. I told him no, and after I dropped him off I told my bf what happened. My bf just laughed and didnt seem to take it seriously. I also heard a story that his friend used to stalk a waitress.
I really don't understand why my bf is still friends with this creep. Sometimes I feel that he'd rather be friends with him than me.
Should I give my bf an ultimateum and say it's either his creepy friend or me? Or would that be too controlling?
As his girlfriend, you have the right to speak up. After all, it's making you uncomfortable & as your boyfriend, he's obligated to your feelings. Decide carefully what you're going to say & explain it calmy & kindly. If you are too harsh with it, he may spin the whole thing around & think you're jealous of his friend. Just tell him that he makes you uncomfortable & that he should talk to him & tell him that you're offlimits & to stop hitting on you. He will understand if you just talk to him. After all, you two are dating & the most important part of dating is communication (& kissing because that's fun too ;D)!
i juss got an ipod nano for xmas & im still confused about how you put pictures on it. does anyone know how??
thanks!!
There is a program you have to download from apple.com. It's a photo viewing program that allows you to upload pics onto your ipod. Check apple.com for more information.

I'm so holy-crap overwhelmed by everything right now! Most of it's from this girl. Don't tell me that teens can't love. I'm 13, and I know what love is. I know I'm in love. But she doesn't like me back. So that's two things so far, love and rejection. Then there's jealousy, when I found out that she had an ex and her first kiss. Her ex is coming back. I know it. I can just feel it. And I have nobody to talk to about it: my parents don't understand (I tried), my friends are as equally nerdy as I am, and don't know a thing about love; I'm way too busy to go see a therapist; I'm too shy to tell her all this.
And of course school. I made all the advanced classes, so that's kinda annoying. But not as much.
And finally, orchestra. I'm in my regular orchestra, a chamber orchestra, an ensemble orchestra, and a jazz orchestra, and I'm also taking private lessons. So that's a holy-crap lot of music to practice.
And now I'm way to overwhelmed to focus on anything. I feel like Charlie Gordon, from Flowers for Algernon. At one point, he described himself as "a blind man allowed to see the light" and that's exactly how I feel. I never knew emotions before. Ever. Now that I know love, rejection, jealousy, etc, I know how to feel. And I've been trying to get over that girl, but I just can't! I can't even remember how I went through my life before I became obsessed with her, before I found Advicenators and started asking and ansering questions, before I knew how to love! I want to be normal again! I want to continue life as I previously had! I can't do anything! I'm just blabbering on and on and on, but there's so much to say! AAUGH!!!!!!!! I'm so pissed off, frusterated, angry, weirded out, overwhelmed, confusticated, and just plain SCREWED UP! Please help! I can't go on with life, I'm losing sleep!
Wow I'm happy I found your question because first of all, I know JUST how to help. This is gonna be lengthy so I appologize in advanced"
-It seems like you really love her. I know people say all this stuff about how when you're 13 you don't know what love is. Well, they're WRONG because I'm 13 & I fell in love so I know EXACTLY how you feel. Love hurts, it's hard, it's horrible & cruel & sometimes all you can do is face it.
-First of all, TAKE A BREATHER. Being overwhelmed is common, especially at our age. It deffinitely is obvious you've GOT ALOT OF STUFF going on & I know how that feels. You've just got to write stuff down, schedual it out. Then.. you have to face her.
-Okay, I know how friendship is one way & then the second you fess up to how you really feel things changed. You've got to tell her that you respect her & HER feelings so you'll be fine JUST being her friend. I know that seems like a lie to yourself & to her but you have to, just to get things back to normal. Then be friends again for a while & see how stuff is.
-I know these feelings are hard. I know they hurt & make you feel like you could just rip your heart out. Heartbreak is horrible & rejection is possibly one of the worst feelings out there.
-Shyness is understandable, I'm not asking you to tell her how you feel. Let me just say that it sounds like you would make an AMAZING boyfriend & if I was her I would deffinitely go out with you because you sound just absolutely SWEET & dedicated to her. Try your best to get things back on track in your life & then work on winning her because ANYTHING iS POSSiBLE WiTH LOVE
well there is this guy that i love...and he told me he loved me the other day and i didnt know what to say back cuz i wasent sure about my feelings but now i am sure that i love him...should i tell him???
Definitely! You are very lucky that he came out & told you first. Now you can be confident that he feels the same way, & it eliminates the insecurity of not knowing. Tell him as SOON as possible though because he probably feels really bad now since you didn't say anything back. Give him a call & good luck sweetie. ♥
All I ask is that you don't critisize me in this. Well, I made myself throw up a few minutes ago. I did it to help somebody, and I'll never do it again. The thing is, I got a really sore throat after. Does anybody know how to cure that?
Right after you throw up, your throat usually hurts, especially if it's forced. Drink some hot tea because it'll sooth the rawness.
I have a few hair questions:
1. When going to the stylist do you usually cut your hair first THEN dye it or vice versa?
2. If the total is around $70, how much should I tip?
3. I've had highlights before, but about how long does it take to DYE your hair?
4. Do you think ANY girl could pull of side swept bangs?
5. If im dying my hair a medium/dark brown (when i have blonde/goldish hair), is it still possible my gold tones can still show through? If so, how do I make sure they dont?
Thanks!
Well my dad's a hairdresser so I'm JUST the girl to help you =]
1. It all depends on the stylist. There's really no right or wrong way to do it.
2. For about $70, I would tip about $15
3. It all depends on the length. Previous dyes won't reflect on the time, rather the overall color that you end up with. It also depends on how much color/what kind the stylist is using.
4. Yes. Some people say the style looks good if you have a longer face or noticable cheekbones but I think ANY girl could pull it off & look fabulous!
5. Well, when you have light hair & dye it dark, it picks up the color REALLY well. You really shouldn't have to worry about old color showing through.
Good luck!

ok after that, i was just wondering who are some celebrities with side-swept bangs? i want them to about my cheekbone, so do you know of any who are like that? i've looked up jessica simpson and ashley olsen, but they're not really what i'm looking for. i don't want so much body in mine, just kinda sleek and straight. thanx!
Ashlee Simpson is probably best known for her side bangs. If you look her up on a celebrity hairstyles website, you'll be sure to find PLENTY of pictures. Good luck & have fun stylin'.

I was wondering...what stores sell good sunglasses for teens at good prices. If you could tell me the price ranges that would be really helpful too. Thanks!
Here are the stores I buy my glasses at:
Pac Sun
Hot Topic
Claires
Price range is anywhere for $8-$20. Also if you go a mall, there are little sunglass stands. They sell inexpensive glasses, like 2 for $20 sometimes. They're trendy & cute! Good luck!

okay
my b/f says he cares
but he doesnt act like it AT ALL.
i dont know wuts going on but like, ill ask him if he "wants" anything and he says w/e u want, and i have been asking and asking him and he never tells me and he has even gotten really mad about it, i dont know what to do, please help..i mean, we do all this shit in teh movies not sex, but other stuff and it seems like he always has other thigns going on...please help me find out what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm... sounds like you might have a problem here. The only way to REALLY solve a problem like this is communication. Talk to your boyfriend. I know you said that he isn't really giving you any feedback but you have to do your best. Tell him how important he is to you & make him feel needed. Then tell him that this communication gap is really interfeering with your relationship. You may have to get tough & even say that you won't stay in the relationship if this goes on. I know you probably don't want to end things with him but it's not fair that he's doing this. Good luck!

i didnt kno wut category to put this in but o well....ok i JUST got braces and they feel really weird and i cant bite down all the way. I wanted to kno if any noe could give me some advice about braces....pls help thx! ;)
Well I had braces so I know you're feeling a bit uncomfortable. There *IS* some stuff to help you ease the pain though. Your orthadontist should have given you some wax to put on the sharp spots. If not, make sure you request it on your next visit, it's a LIFESAVER! Another thing is to stick to smooth foods. It may be tempting to have something crunchy & delicious but I reccomend yogurt, mashed potatoes, ice cream, jamba juice, starbucks etc. Another thing is to take Advil or any kind of Asprin. Check with your parents or an adult to see what kind of medicine will temporarily ease the pain. Good luck! I know it's hard now but you have a great smile to look forward to!

I have a best friend... he is so close to me. I go to his house A LOT and juss hang out. we joke around a lot. but im startin to get feelings for him. he is so hularous and very cute. i dont know what to do. i DONT want to like him but i do. and im afraid to tell him. if you could help me that would be great. im really confused. but i think i love him.???its crazy! hELLPPPPP!! thanks ♥
I've been there & I know exactly how you feel. You have 3 choices. One would be to come straight out & tell him how you feel. This would be if you're really confident he'll like you back. Most people don't do this because it takes a really bold girl. I wouldn't do this either. Your second choice is to wait it out for a while, ask other friends to find out how HE feels & try to see if any signs point to him liking you. Then once you feel good enough, you can admit to how you feel. The last choice is to not do anything & just wait for him to ask you out. If he doesn't, just wait for the feeling to pass. I don't reccomend this because it can be painful to wait around & he might feel the same way you do. He might like you but be afraid to admit it. Good luck hon!

What are different ways to style sidesweeping bangs? Im getting them tomorrow - should I cut them to the bottom of my ear? Cheekbone? Longer?
Well, I would cut them about at your cheekbone because that's where mine are. The main way to style sideswept bangs is to have a side part & have them straightened to the side. That's pretty much the cutest way. Or you could play around with the parts, try a center part if you want. Good luck!
