Why do lambs have tails but sheep don't? I saw a lamb it had a tail, but it's mom didn't. What's the deal. (link)
haha yep i agree with the first person. i asked my mom, and she said some ranchers use rubber bands to crop the tails. they are actually born with tails though :)

this summer I'm supposed to go see this music producer guy so I could sing for him. The biggest of my worries is that I have a MAJOR problem with stagefright. Once in kindergarten I was standing on the stage in the auditorium doing a play. When I was walking off the stage, I tripped and fell flat on my face and all I could hear was everyone laughing at me. Ever since then I've been terrified to do anything in front of people that aren't my family. Can you please help me? (link)
i see how your experience in kindergarten could be terrifying... but.. think about it.. they probably laughed because they thought you were cute! nothing that you should be scared or worried about.

take deep breathes and remember why you are there.. to sing. because you love it, because you are good at it.. whatever it may be. focus on that. :) good luck!


i REALLY want to shop at a&f and hollister and stores like that. it's not because everyone else does, it's because personally i like there clothes. my parents make me shop at wal mart and it's messing up my social life. i hate wal mart's clothes and shit and my friends ask me why i don't wear the good brands. and it's not like my family can't afford good clothes, because my dad's a multi millionaire. they just don't understand WHY i want to spend so much on clothes. i've made up my mind and don't tell me it doesn't matter what i wear because i'll give you a 1. i need to prove to my parents that shopping at the expensive stores is worth it. and i can't make any money on my own because if i do, my parents say I CANT spend it on a&f and hollister clothes. it's messing up my social life. i wont have friends ever again because i cant wear nice clothes. im done with wal mart so what can i say to my parents so they'll let me shop where i want ?!? i'm old enough to choose where i want to purchase my clothes, especially when my dad was over 1 million dollars.

anything good will get you a 5
i promise (link)
my advice... make the best of it. your social life is being ruined by the clothes you wear? do you think your clothes are the only interesting thing about you?! hopefully you have a personality.. because that's what makes a person... not their clothes. who should be judged by what they wear? give me a 1 if you want... i think you are in denial about being shallow. be a leader not a follower...

your parents shouldn't be able to control the money you make. it's your money to waste.

good luck with however this turns out.




i still think you are shallow, by what you wrote.


ok so i have this boyfriend. He's awsome and we have been dating for about 6 months.a few nights ago he called me and told me that he was going to be gone for a week. Well he was gone for 6 days and when he got back we were having sex. I noticed a bruise on his stomache. At first i ddin't care but then i got closer and it turned out to be a hickey. i didn't say anything at the time though. THe next day we went to the movies but in the middle of the movies he got a call. When he came back he told me it was a call from his brother. I checked his phone after the movies and it was to a girl named mindy. Two days later i called his house and a girl in the background was screaming his name like in a sexual way! is he cheatin on me??? wat should i do? should i bust him or just ask him about it?
(link)
ask him about it calmly.. because letting out all your emotions and getting angry or sad right away will make him feel attacked and cornered.. and will probably make him blame everything on you, lie instinctively, or something like that.

i would think, that if he he had a hickey you didn't give him, it would be from someone else...

don't let this stuff go.... once i thought my boyfriend had a bug bite.. but it turned out to be a hickey.. he had cheated on me and i actually found out a LOT later... i didn't press the issue at the time like i should have.

i'm sorry if he is... it's a horrible thing to go through... hope things work out and you always have people here to talk to!


okay.. anyway, i can't wear tank tops, cause i have these like pimples on my shoulders and my back, and its really disgusting, and whenever i do wear tank tops, i always try and cover them up, it just doesnt work.. so how do i get rid of these pimples? i've tried loads of things..
will rate

(link)
if you can't or don't want to get prescription medicine for it, you can try anything over the counter that contains salicylic acid. it's stronger than benzoyl peroxide, and perfect for the tougher skin on your back and shoulders. good luck!


i have the worst sun burn ive ever had before. its on my back..ive had bad sunburns before where they have the deep itch..this one looks so much worse than those ever did. i saw it in the mirror earlier and cried a little because i know how bad its going to hurt and how miserable im going to be. i cant handle it physically or emotionally. i just cant deal with sunburns, id honestly rather just die. its that bad for me. please tell me something..ANYTHING..i could do to make it feel a little better, or something to take my mind off of it. just anything.. (link)
when i used to get bad sunburns i'd use this blue gel stuff in a bottle called Ocean.. something. it doesn't use aloe, but a local anesthesia instead, so it just numbs the area you cover with it. works wonders, and feels cool when you put it on. i'm sure you can find it anywhere.

hopefully you'll try to exercise prevention in the future!! and good luck :)


mk dont think im like weird or anything..but i sweat. ALOT i dunno what to do like just at school and stuff ill like sweat under my armpits for no reason at all! i tried like deoderant called certain dry and let me tell you, IT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!!! should i like get perscription or what??? please and thank yous!! (link)
if certain dry doesn't work for you, i would go to a dermatologist and they will prescribe you a more effective underarm deoderant... it's about a 20% solution of... hmm, crap. i forgot the name of it but it starts with a D. it'll irriate your skin at first but in time it will work and be more effective.


What are some of the best tanning lotions .. yet still reasonable in price ( under $20) (link)
you can definitely look some up on ebay. the one i had my eyes set on at the tanning salon was over 40 dollars. i got it on ebay plus shipping for only about 20, in a matter of days too! you can read the descriptions to decide which ones you like or think are best. :)


well,my friend gets really sad and worried about things she shouldn't get sad over. She is sad and questioning if she will ever find love. She just thinks all the guys out there are perverted freaks. yeah so i tell here she will but she doesn't listen what should i do?

Thanks, Tamia (link)
instead of giving her an answer she won't believe in.. and you obviously want to support her like a good friend... try to get her mind away from that topic. it would be challenging, and you can't seem desperate to change the subject. your friend just needs help being reminded that life isn't all about finding love and boys. good luck


okay yes so me & my boyfriend kind of had sex yesterday... he put it in like half way yesterday & pulled it out because i was scared yaeh well i still bled. does that mean he popped it? but it was only in half way..yeah im hoping im stilll a virgin pleasee help me!!!! comment bac qickk! (link)
that would qualify as sex and ending your virginity. technically. and the breaking of the hymen isn't what takes a girl's v-card, it's plainly having sex. don't worry too much about it... it's not something to really stress and freak out over... at least now the tension between you two are over and you can talk and decide more about how you want to progress in the relationship.

good luck!


i have this really good freind, maybe a best freind, and well to ALL of my other freinds she says I LOVE YOUUUU, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. but she never says it to me. like she says it all the time, liek if you didn't know her you may think shes a lezbian.. BUT SHES NOT. why doesn't she say it to me? (link)
maybe she's not comfortable saying it to you. another reason might be because you give off the vibe that saying I LOVE YOU to your girl friends isn't your type of thing.

i know my best friend doesn't say it to me, but says it to her other friends. it's not offensive to me... because i prefer not to use it. i find it kind of girly and fake-ish.. but that's just my opinion.

if it's bothering you enough, you should have a friendly talk with her and ask her why.. straight out, and say that it bothers you, etc. maybe she never realized it, or maybe she thought you weren't that type of person.

hope i helped.. good luck!


okay well me and my boyfriend have been going out for like 27 months or so and its been pretty great. we have broken up a couple of times but for different reasons. and lately we have been arguing alot. like alot. and i have tlked to him about it on a number of occasions and then he apoligizes and everything is okay for like a week.. then it happens again. well i do love him. but we have been going out for so long and these are suppose to be the best years of our lives so i want to just kind of see what else is out there and have fun and not be tied down all of highschool. who knows? maybe the one for me is right there in front of me. well i have broken up with him and everytime i just go right back to him. either because i miss him or just plain jealousy bc i dont like seeing him with other girls. i dont know what to do. is the break-up a good idea? and if it is what do i say. another problem if we do breakup i know i will be a bit emotional and last time i did i cried alot and my mom just blamed the whole thing on me and thought as if i just wanted attention or something because my family likes him alot. i can see a future with it but do u think i should see what else is out there and if he is the one i want to be with just go back to him? i dont know. HELP!!!

signed,
very confused (link)
continously going back to him doesn't mean he's your one. i think it's more like he is your comfort zone, what you are familiar with, and it's hard to move on with something like that. i know, too.

i say, take the break. take a break from the fighting. cool off, see other people for a while. yes, that means seeing him with other girls. avoid him and focus on your OWN life.

when you feel the urge to go back... hold yourself back. remember why you broke up in the first place. getting back together with him only feels good temporarily, then it will be back to "oh, this is why i wanted to break up with him." honestly. right?

please try to see what else is out there. if you guys grow and change, maybe later (as in months/years) you could try it again. if you want to try later and he doesn't, or vice versa, it wasn't meant to be.

you have to be strong, or you'll be stuck in this cycle. you can do what you set your mind to. good luck!


this question is really hard to explain, but just try to understand. when do kids start acting mature? like what grade or age? i don't mean like stop acting like babies, i mean like starting to understand you, "get" more mature jokes, have a more a adult-ish sense of humor, actually help you when your crying or sad. i think i'm mature for my age and i alwayss have to act unlike myself cause all my friends have an immature sense of humor like they think everything is "wrong" like i would say "let me go pick up those balls" and theyre like ew that wrong. and when i'm sad about something they just stare at me and say whats wrong and when i tell em they are like "oh". and i have to make up corny jokes cause they dont get my not immature sense of humor. like the only thing they laugh at is CORNY, IMMATURE, jokes. i feel stupid when i try to be "mature" cause my friend was sad cause her other friends are making fun of her and i'm just like "don't worry someday you will get true friends that will be with you no matter what" and shes like "oh" WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO BE MATURE!!!!!!! (link)
i know how it feels to be more mature than the group of people you're around. everybody's age of maturity varies, unfortunately... and it sucks to be the one ahead of your friends.

i know it's hard to keep friends that aren't like you, but i wouldn't change yourself for other people to accept you. who knows, maybe by acting like yourself, you can help some of them grow and mature too. you never know!

hope i helped and good luck.


I seem to be having one of the unluckiest years of my life. Honestly! Nothing is going ont hr right track. My "love life", my relationships with people, family issues, school, NOTHING. I dont know whya dn this may seem silly but is there anything i can do to increase my LUCK? (link)
i'm not sure if you can change your luck, but you can change your attitude about it! :)

instead of thinking how unlucky you are, look forward to good things happening. just changing how you think or feel about things might change your entire outlook on your life. it takes a lot of energy but it will slowly become a good habit.

don't let anything get you down. it'll get better!

like my mom says... "this too shall pass."
hope i helped.


i live in a low income apartment..all of my friends live in big houses. i hate living in a crapy apartment in a rich neighborhood. especially my crush! we talk a lot (hes an only child). and i always hear about his escalades and BMWs and i HATE IT! because i have a crapy car and i wish i wasnt ashamed of were i come from. i used to live in a crappy neighborhood but that was okay because i was the rich one of the poor people (even though then we were poor) now i have to transition to being on of the poor people. again. and i HATE IT! what can i do to change this feeling?
(link)
ah i know how this feels.

you should try to realize that where you live or how much money you do or don't have doesn't define who you are!

it's normal to be jealous... i mean, who wouldn't envy someone who doesn't have to blink an eye at spending money, when you have to decide if you can afford a haircut or wait another month or two?! ;)

don't be ashamed of where you live. it's your environment, not you. anyone you judges you by your surroundings aren't worth talking to anyway.

hope i helped. keep ur head up :)


My boyfriend treats me like gold and i have a HUGE attitude problem and i want to change. But i have no idea how to start. Dont state the obvious people like just do it because i tried and it doesnt happen. he is very annoying but i love him to death and he doesnt deserve what i do. I yell/hit/and give him an attitude. I dont really hit him just m,essing around like im not an abusive girlfriend. but I can get out of hand of messing around.

PLEASE HELP! (link)
hmmm... to get better at this you are going to have to work on yourself alone and also when you are with him.

what i can think of doing is... when you are by yourself, try to think why you do it, and how it must make him feel. you are hurting the one person who depends on you to be caring and loving. ask yourself if you overreact, or if he's really too annoying for you to handle.

when you are with him, think of the things you've figured out in your head before. maybe you'll see that brushing it off or reacting in a negative way isn't worth it. you can also try to count down in your head if you feel the impulse to give him an attitude.

practice, practice, practice. it'll be normal to slip or make mistakes at first, but you are working on it, and you should let him know. it would probably be nice to apologize to him when you catch yourself slipping. you CAN change.

hope i helped! good luck :D


Hi, i weight 116.5 pounds and im 5'6. my age is 14. i have a 8% body fat percentage rate. i run and workout every other day, and i play baseball. i think im fat, i dont no why, it takes over my life! please help me. do u think im fat? (link)
actually, at that body fat percentage you could develop problems with having your period stop. some girls are fine though, so i hope you are too.

i don't know what your frame size is, but either way... to put this in perspective, you're only about 26 pounds from being too thin to survive.

i hope you aren't thinking about losing more...

i'm 5'7, and four years ago when i was diagnosed with anorexia, i was 118 pounds (down from 130). i was having extremely bad health problems then, and i weighed more than you do now.

hopefully you can feel better about yourself before it's too late. you are perfect the way you are. stressing about it, centering your life around something as fickle as your weight.. it's not worth it.


yesterday i ate......
half an egg
half a piece of toast
1 strip of bakery pizza
a small handful of ships
3 Sandy Cookies (thats what there called)
a homemade hamburger in a roll
corn on the cob
1 milky way
1 apple
3 regular rits crackers

that's what i ate in a day. about how many calories is that and is that too much too little or just right? anything i need to change or improve or cut down? thanks. i'll rate if you answer everything.
(link)
counting calories religiously is a horrible habit.. i wouldn't get too far into it... it easily becomes an obsession. (just trying to warn you! ;))as long as you know the ballpark figure is near what your daily intake should be, then you should be fine. remember to have some physical activity every day, at least 20 minutes, and you shouldn't really have to worry about calories if you eat normally.

i would try to have more small meals than little snacks, like it seems you have had. try having some sort of dairy, but especially fruits and veggies each meal... i'm sure you know all of this though. the only advice i can think of is trying to cut down on the sugary, empty calories. the milky way, cookies, pop, whatever it is... i think you'll be doing great. :)

hope i helped!


A lot of people seam to think its gross if you don't shave "down there", I mean should I????? does everyone? lol and is it a turn off if you dont?
Thanks! (link)
i agree with everyone else...

do what you want with it, experiment with everything to see what you like. if your guy likes it, that's great. if he doesn't, you shouldn't change it just for him... unless you're okay with that. you know.

i would like to say that the one guy up there is kind of wrong... girls have varying opinions on male pubic hair too. i personally like it shaved the most, trimmed is okay too.. but i would never not like someone because of how they have their hair...


ok this shirt i bought off of ebay arrived a few days ago but likee .. its smaller than the description said. and im really tall so when i move my hands anywhere above my waist it comes up. and theres a strict dress code in my school.

is there any possible way on the face of this earth i can stretch it or make it longer? (link)
you could definitely try stretching it when its wet. if you want to get crafty, you could sew a strip of clothing from another shirt or something else (like lace, if it matches, or whatever) in a color that compliments the shirt. my younger sister does this all the time.

then again, the idea of a longer slender tanktop underneath works wonders too. :)
