in cheerleading im finding it really hard to do my jumps. My technique is great, my toes are pointed i land together...etc. I'm also very flexible, but whenever i do my jumps i find it hard to get any height. are there any tips on how to get my legs up higher? (link)
I'm not a cheerleader. but i was for a long time. Before you go to jump bend and the knees and push off from the ground! This will send you farther up in the air and allow you to get a little more height off the ground. Hope i helped!

ok heres the deal.. my parents are abuiseive.. well mainly its my dad.. he hits me soo hard that he leaves bruises on me.. well all i can say is that i have literally tried to commit suicede TONS AND TONS of times.. welps i gtg plz help me out! i dunno what im gonna do?!?! (link)
DON'T COMMT SUICIDE! that's MUCH worse than a bruise. you shouldn't punish yourself for what your parents do to you. your dad is the one that needs punishment. is there anybody you can talk to? like another family member? school counselor? because something needs to be done about this! have you ever tried to block the hit? because that would be the first thing i would do! And another question, WHY does he hit you? is it just for no reason? or is there something that you've done that makes him hit you? Please get more information to me so i can help you more! Just leave one in my inbox!


Ok..where there are two guys i like...one i have liked for about 6 months and the other i have liked for like 1 month....but they both like me..and i 've dated the one i've liked for a month..but the other one we ar just really close friends and have been talkin kinda for 6 months. And well right now i am at a hard decision cuz they both want to go out with me now. The 6 month one is the one i am like total in love with and the other one well i don't like him as much. But the 6 month on won't treat me as good as the other one. The other one would give me the world if he could. idk what to do! i need help!!! (link)
If you know that the '6 month one' wont treat you as good as the other i wouldn't stay/go out with him, i would choose the other one, because he obviously likes you ALOT if he would give you the world if it was possible. But really it's your decision. there's not many guys out there that will treat you great. so if you think one of them will.. go for it, cause it's not everyday that you get a guy that would do anything for you.


I have a friend who says I am her "best friend". Well, lately she hasn't been inviting me places. Like, she is always with other people. I have caught on that everytime she invites me out her other friends are busy. Do you think I am her second choice or maybe I am just overreacting? I have talked to her about it but she makes excuses.

(link)
i've gone through this a couple times! have you asked her to do things lately? if not.. try to do so... in some ways you may be overreacting, but in other ways, i don't think you are, you're just worried that you're loosing out on a relationship and loosing a friend! you also have to know,, that you can't be her only friend! and she can't be your only friend! i don't know that i helped that much, but i tried! if you need anything, leave one i my inbox! laterrr*


What is something that you would have at ur house so get rid of a pimple FAST? (link)
white toothpaste! not alot, just a little often, and they'll be gone with-in a day


is that a good age to babysit? Because I have had like 2 years of experiance with my 2year old nephew! (link)
well it really depends on the person you're babysitting. not saying that you're not trustworthy, but most adults don't trust a 13 year old with there child! and i guess that depends on you, and how mature you are. but thats when i started babysitting my neighbors kids! but be sure that if you REALLY want to job that you act the same towards the children as you would the parents, b/c the girl that babysitted me when i was little was nice/sweet/innocent in front of my parents and then when it was just me she was pure evil, and be sure that the kids like you, and that you do fun stuff to entertain them and i think that if YOU believe that you're ready to start babysitting, and you have that experience, GO FOR IT! hope i helped! =)


ok so i got my period yesterday and it is already like done and usally it lasts for 3 or 4 days is this normal or ok?? (link)
well with-in the first year or two of your period it's always very random. it's totally normal, so don't worry about it. once you get older it will get more percise! and be right on time. hope i helped. feel free to leave one in my inbox!


hey..
I have kind of a darker brunette color and im looking to dye my hair blonde. i want like a golden blonde.. or like britney spears in her my perogative video. the problem is that my mom said if i go to a pro to do it i have to pay for it myslef. and i really had my heart set on getting some new things for school. So if anyone knows any good brands of "do it yourself" dyes that actually work to dye brunette hair blonde.. id really appreciate it. and please dont say im stupid for wanting to dye my hair blonde.. caz im sick of the same old same old.. and i really need this. So please please give me some good brands that will work! thanks in advance. (link)
been there done that.. i always use the herbal essences but my mom always does it! i don't think it would be that hard to do yourself, but it takes time. if you DO end up doing it yourself, be sure that when you pull your hair through the cap thing, that you pull the hair all the way through-because it's very important to get your roots! also on top of that, i use sheer blonde-honey to carmel shampoo- highlight enhancer and just the moisturizing conditioner that comes with it. that stuff is the best! and it smells good, and makes your hair look really healthy! i really hope i helped. if you need anything else, just leave one in my inbox!


HELP!....i am a skinny girl(not anorexic) but tons of people think i am, what should i do? PLease help me! (link)
Well then obviously you need to gain weight.. but not too much! This may sound funny but weight watchers has a thing for people who also want to gain weight.. you can check out there website for more information... sorry if i didn't help much!


My hair is so boring, I've scrunched it before and it looks terrible. Any good ideas besides straight and pony tails? (link)
Try getting a perm.. i've had them off and on all my life because i always thought my hair was boring.. so like.. if you get a perm you can wear it curly or you can straighten it.. there are many differnt kinds of perms.. like a spiral perm- where the perm is like REALLY curly.. or there are body/wavy perms where your hair is just semi-curly and is easier to style! As for other hair styles.. even keeping it straight get some high lights! Or try getting your hair layered.. there are MANY MANY MANY different styles you can do with your hair.. so when you go to get your hair cut or whatever.. most of the places have little magazine type books that show lots of differnt styles or try wal-mart or anywhere that has magazines.. hope i helped! if you have any more questions drop one in my inbox =)


I am constantly insulted by my sister. Before, she would make fun of me, which I would just shrug off, but lately, its been getting to a point where I just feel like there is no point to anything. I cant even cry when she says things to me, I just shut down, and let her go on and on.

Like tonight, I walked into the living room, and she began to swear at me. She said that I am a psycho, and that she cannot wait for me to leave for school (college in the fall) because I am worthless. I have not even said anything to her at all at this point, I really don't know what I did.

What I really dont understand is how she will talk to me one night insultingly, and then the next day she wants me to go shopping with her.

I really dont understand it-if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it

(link)
This seems like my step mom.. a little two faced! so i totally understand how you feel! So how old is your sister? Is she younger than you? if so i wouldn't let her push you around like that! i don't mean to sound harsh or anything... but get back at her. just for once stand up for yourself.. and if she's older, it really depends on how older.. like if she hasn't gone to college yet.. i'd ask her when she plans on moving out and getting a life so that maybe SHE could have a few friends and you wouldn't have to go with her places. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF GIRL!! nobody deserves to be pushed around like that if you're not doing anything wrong towards her... And if you're like me and think you can't stand up for yourself and are very softspoken and doesn't like to be mean to people.. just try to overcome that.. i was once like that.. but then when i was getting pushed around i finally stood up and i didn't even know what to say.. but the words just came out of my mouth! but afterwards i felt SOOO good.. because i didn't have to worry about my step mom embarrassing me in public and saying stuff that weren't true and different things.. my advice is to stick up for yourself.. it may sound hard.. but in the longrun.. it mostly makes things better! Hope i helped! and if you ever need anything just drop one in my inbox!!! =)


I was looking at a website and they said to make your skin look better to exfoliate your skin. What exactly is exfoliating and how do I do that? (link)
exfoliating is to peel or take off.. umm.. i don't know why doing that would make your skin look better.. maybe it's just by getting rid of the dry skin! i'm not sure. and to answer the 'how do you do that' question.. there are many exfoliating lotions at health and beauty stores or at some local grochery stores. but yea.. hope i helped


Okay, there's this girl who is supposed to be my friend. Well, let's say she doesn't act like it. She calls me "idiot", "fool", and a bunch of other names. She's also (according to the guy I used to like) asked the guy I liked out, and I trust the guy I liked because I've known him for a while. She knew that I liked him. She also tries to make me look stupid and bad, because we're on the same sports team, and she'll throw the ball in a weird way and I can't catch it, then she'll say "What an idiot!" or something like that. I'm sick of it. Should I just stop being friends with her, and if so, how?

Thank you so much in advance. I'm sorry it's so long. (link)
If this girl was REALLY your true friend. She wouldn't do stuff like this to you! And make you look/feel stupid. I wouldn't suggest stop being friends with her just yet. I would talk to her about how you think some of the actions she takes charge of while around you are annoying, embarrassing, unfair, and wrong. If talking to her doesn't change the way she treats you. Then i would just tell her. "You know what, i've tried to fix the problems between us, But it's just really not working out. I don't think we should be friends any more".. I wouldn't call that mean. and truthfully i wouldn't worry about being 'nice' about breaking the relationship. Just think about all of the mean things she has done to you! Hope i helped.. and GOOD LUCK!!! =)


there is a school swimming party that is coming up, the time that i have my period!! and it will only be the 2nd time that i have had it, but can someone give me advice on what to do when you have to swim, but you dont know how to use a tampon?? can you just use a thin pad? i will rate! and its coming up real soon! thanks to much! (link)
I've had the SAME problem. ok... i know it seems scary! but you'll have to use a tampon sooner or later!!! I use the Playtex- Slimfi ts... they're easy to insert! But like someone else said.. the first year of your period is totally unpredictable and chances are you won't end up being on your period! And i know from experience that asking someone is embarrassing! So it's better to just read what comes on the box, or the papers inside the box! Well.. hope i helped.. and goodluck!!!! =)


okay so im debating on whether or not i like this guy... like weve talked a lot on the phone recently and hung out alot at school...well he came over yesterday and then called me last night and was like man i wanted to kiss you so bad and i feel stupid for not doing it.. and then he said that if we ever break up he wants me to tell him the reasoning first... well i dont really reccall him askin me or anything... he told me he likes me... but does he think that were already goin out or sumthin?? or if he doesnt... how long do you think it would be before he asked me out?! thanks for your help in advance (link)
Well it seems like that he thinks you are going out. Because he's talking about breaking up. But before you break up you have to be going out! You know? And i think if you're NOT going out.. he's gunna pop the questiong soon! Cause i can tell he really likes you!!!! But maybe you should ask him if yall are going out.. Hope I Helped =/


I have to give an oral presentation in fron otthe whole class, but I suck at public speaking. I start getting really red and then i start to shake and I stumble over words. Right now I am absolutly terrified at the thought of giving a speech. What can I do to overcome this fear?

Please dont give me an answer that says "you will fail everytime" (link)
I had the same problem untill this year. I talked with my mom about it. and she told` me just to` look` at a spot on the wall` and` concentrate on`it` the whole time..`or find 2` spots. and look` back and`forth` every` couple` minutes!` just`act like`` there` IS no` audience and you're
just talking to yourself. But` the whole 'spot on the` wall thing is really` effective!` Because you're not looking` someone and making eye` contact with` someone who` is` making` weird faces or possibly laughing!` Just`don't sweat it..` it'll` all be fine!` Good` Luck..`Hope` i helped` =/

I am going to start tanning agin for about the 3 time! I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice....um you know the goggles you wear so you dont burn your eyes? well I was wondering if anyone knows how NOT to look like I have white aroung my eyes! and I have heard of these things called like winkies or somwthing like that and was wondering if they work or not. if you have any websites that could help to that would be great! thanks

xo0o0o0o0o0o0o0ox (link)
I go to the tanning bed all the time. I have one at my house! Umm... About the goggles. I don't usually wear them, because i might get the white around my eyes. i just close my eyes while i'm in there! i would not suggest staying in there 20 minutes.. maybe like 10 and go up 2 minutes every 2-3 times! like say you go monday go 10 minutes. then if you go tuesday stay 10 minutes then on wednesday go 12 minutes.. if you build up like that, you prolly won't get burnt! I use the blonde bombshell lotion by panama jack (has nothing to do with your hair) Just if you do use lotion, make sure you use even amounts! There's not many websites that i know of specifically. But if you go to a search engine and type in what you wanna know. i think you'll get some sites! The whole winkie's things... i don't know what you're talking about.. there's prolly another name they have. Again try a search engine. Hope I Helped! =/ =)


I was thinking... When is avrage age to have your first kiss and how far should u be in a relationship... This is my first relationship, and i love him and we've been gong out for 6 months,,, When should you? I have no clue!!! I havent had my first kiss but lately I've been thinking about it...
I want to kiss him... but somthing doesnt seem right,,,and i was talking to my mom and she asked me if i would tell her if my boyfriend kissed me,,, should I tell her?



13/f (link)
Most kids do get there first kiss around the ages of 13-16.. But some people hae different views on there relationships and want things to get serious.. and fast. But i think you should wait, and make sure that the relationship is going to last. and for you to be going out with your b/f for 6 months i would say that the time is right! But you have to be ready yourself. About the mom thing. It depends on what kind of mom you have, and how she reacts to things! I mean if you DO tell her, what do you imagin she will do? If she will lock you up in a closet for the rest of your life. i would suggest NOT telling her. But if she will give you a hug and a kiss and congradulate you.. just tell her. But that's pretty much your choice. Hope i helped =/


I have a friend and we used to be best friends, but now i dont want to hang out with her or anything because i've noticed that shes always making fun of me and trying to make me look bad so i dont want to hang out wit her but she always is making plans that include ME.
so how can i tell her that i dont want to hang out with her without hurting her feelings? (link)
Just stay calm when you talk to her. Don't scream and yell like most people would come off to do. And i understand you you don't want to hurt her feelings. But you're breaking a relationship, it's not gunna be that easy, because obviously she still cares for you, and wants to hang out with you! You could try Telling her the problems between you and her. and then just say that you don't think that you shouldn't be friends anymore. OR you can try to work out the problems between each other, and talk to each other about what bothers each of you. Because there are prolly some things that you do that make her mad. Just try to work out the problems. Hope i helped =/
