Q: hi im getting my bellybutton pierced and i was wondering how bad it hurts or does it hurt at all im scared so please let me know
thanks

heyy!
i have mine done and I was freaking ut before.
The guy told me that I was way too nervous. Turns out I was. I didn't even feel it. I was actually so relieved that all the blood rushed back into my head too quickly and I couldn't stand up lol. But what helped me was going on youtube and watching other people get it done before you go. I know that might sound weird but think about it, if you can't watch someone else get it done how are you going to be able to get it down.

Good Luck!

Q: what are some really good recipes like desserts? that are good for teenagers to cook and easy for us to make. we need to make alot of things for this lil party deal

dirt or sand (depending on which pudding you choose) is the best:

its vanilla and/or chocolate pudding,
crumpled oreos,
gummi worms for the chocolatepudding
swedishfish for the vanilla pudding
*if you use vanilla pudding, use gramh cracker crumbs

Q: I cut myself. I've been cutting for about half a year. I've never had a problem hiding it or anything. Just recently I've been trying to stop. I know its bad. My problem is that I have P.E. starting 2nd semester (in January) and I don't know how to hide the scars (I'm going to have it 2nd period if it helps). My parents don't know, and I don't want them to know either. We have to wear uniforms so I don't know how I'm gonna pull this off. Also, bracelets and jewelry aren't allowed. Any ideas? Thank you.
