ok i need your help !!
im 5'2 and weigh 90 pounds
is the to fat to skinny or average ??
cuz i was thinking about losing 5-10 pounds do u think i need to ??
HELP !!
(link)
90 pounds for your height is underweight, but it all depends on how you carry your weight as to how much you look like you weigh. if you feel you need to loose weight, you should consult with your doctor or a parent first, because loosing weight for you could cause health problems.


can someone please explain to me how to read tabs? I`ve read them off a few internet sites but the description doesn`t make sense! here`s an example of what I would like to know -

http://blog.myspace.com/g2luvmyspace

thanks (link)
reading guitar tabs is pretty simple. referring to the tab you put up, the first number is a 9, and its on the a string, so you count down 9 frets on the a string, and thats the first note. thats how you play the parts with only one number. for the parts where theres more than one number on top of eachother on different strings like this: 11
11

from the tab, you place one finger on the 11th fret down on the d string, then another finger on the 11th fret on the a string. thats pretty much it. you just put your fingers on the fret specified by the number and on the string specified at the beginning of the tab.

the x means to palm mute. if you dont know what palm muting is, you can drop one in my inbox or look online, i just dont want to put it on here if you already know what it means.

hopefully i explained that good enough for you to understand lol. sorry it was so long=] good luck!


How do I get rid of upper lip hair?
If i wax it will it come back in faster and dark? so gross right? (link)
if you wax it, probably. i use sally hansen creme hair remover for face. it works really well, and i only have to use it once every 3 or 4 days, sometimes once a week. you just apply the creme to your upper lip, and let it sit for about 5 minutes, then wipe it off. the extra strenght one doesnt work, so i would just stick with the regular one if you try sally hansen. you can buy it at most stores.i get mine at walmart.


recently, ive been messing up really bad. ive been drinking more. i started smoking weed about a month ago. ive started smoking cigs as well. i used to believe in abstinence, and i had sex with my friend the other night. not even my boyfriend, he was just my friend. the thing is, around people, i act normal. when im with my friends, i partially forget about all those things, i put them in the back of my mind. my family has no clue what goes on in my life. but when im by myself, i tend to think a lot. ive been thinking about these things a lot. ive been thinking about how i used to HATE smokers. and think that girls at this age who have sex are HUGE sluts. ive been telling myself that this is who i am now, &that im okay with it, but i dont know if i really am okay with it. i just don`t know what to do. i dont even know what my question is. maybe.. what should i do? i cant figure out if im okay with the way i am now or not. i just cant decide. i really dont know what to do. i want to be okay with it, but then im not. i want to hate myself for turning into everything that im against, but i cant. (link)
everyone goes through a phase like this in their lifes, wether its with the drugs and alcohol, or changing their style, or doing poorly in school. you just need to experience these things and find out that they probably arent for you. if your not sure if your ok with all of this, then chances are, your not. try to pull out of this early on, because if you dont, its going to get harder and harder to if you want to stop. if you have a really close friend who isnt into this stuff, then try to confide in him or her. usually that helps. also try to hang out with people who dont do that stuff, so you wont be around it, so you wont be as tempted to do it. try to get into something else to keep your mind off of it, wether its sports, or art, or music,or cooking, ect. because usually when you have something to keep you occupied, your not as likely and tempted to do those things. feel free to drop one in my inbox if you need anything more. im always willing to help if i can!

good luck! i hope everything turns out good for you! sorry my answer was so long! lol


I am wearing a kind of a fire-truck red dress to an event, what is a good color nail polish to wear with it. NOT a matching shade of red, or pink. Oh and I am wearing red shoes too (link)
gold would look great. gold works great against red. teal blue, white, and deep purple would also look book. white looks great with anything, and makes your nails stand out against the red, without taking too much attention off your dress.


when someone is a camera whore, does that mean that they're really pretty and would be perfect for pictures or a slut that takes dirty pics of themselfs? I see many nice looking people that takes pictures but people would call them cam whore and it sounds mean it me.. (link)
usually a camera whore refers to someone who takes lots and lots of pictures of anything and everything.its not really mean or an insult. people say camera "whore" because whores are very sexually active, and camera whore take lots of pictures. i dont know if that makes sence to you or not lol.feel free to drop one in my inbox if it doesnt=]


well okay.. when me and my boyfriend are making out in different positions it really gets me horny. especially stradling. and it seems to get him horny too cuz i mean he breathes really loud and i can just tell. but he doesnt get an erection. should he be?

i know all guys are different but i just dont understand how its making me go crazy and he doesnt even get hard. is there something i could do to increase the chances of him getting an erection? besides a handjob, were not there yet. thanks so much. (link)
like the last person said, you just might not be able to tell. with smaller guys, you cant tell sometimes. not saying that your boyfriend is deffinetly small, because i dont know if he is, but that could be a possibility. he might just need more stimulation than making out.everyones different, he might actually need contact with his penis to get hard, who knows. just be as sexy as you can and run your hands through his hair or put your hands near his penis. obviously your doing something right if hes dating you=p


I don't get it. I'm a guy and at my school girls arn't like omg he's so hot or wow. But...when i go to a different school like to visit friends or somthing all the girls are like giggling and all that stuff and i get like 10 numbers. I dont get it. If girls could please answer this question that'd be great. Thanks. (link)
i have the same problem. at my school, not many people say in "hot", but ask people at other schools, and they always say im "hot". people tell me all the time that its probably because the people at my school have known me for a while and have grown up with me,and see me all the time, but people at different schools havent, and that im someone new and different than everyone at their school. so that could be a possibility.


i asked before what to use to clean belly button piercings and someone answered me saying to use saline soultion. does anyone know how to clean it with this stuff?? thanks (link)
a good way to do it is to lay down on your bed or something like that, and completely saturate a Q-tip with the saline solution, then move the ring or barbell, whichever you have, around, and clean around both sides all the way around. you can go around the ends in circles a few times.using a Q-tip works best because the end is small enough to move around both ends of your piercing easily. cotton balls work also, but with a cotton ball, you might not get down into the holes. you can also pour the saline directly around the holes and let it sit for a while to get it really clean. good luck!


if you have very tight "bouncy" small curls, is there anyway you can make them looser? for example from this

http://www.wigsalon.com/img/full/kiradc.jpg

to this

http://www.just-hairstyles.com/curly/c23.htm

(well not exactly, but you get the point)

and also, is there anyway of doing that WITHOUT having to straighten AND curl it every single day?

Thank you! (link)
you could try a curl relaxer. they sell them at most stores, like walmart. i dont have any specific names, because i dont have any personal experience with curl relaxing products, but some of my friends use a curl relaxer, and it works quite well. usually, its just a product that comes in a bottle the you massage into your hair. sorry i couldnt be a little more helpful with product names, but good luck!


If you were watching ABC last week you probably saw the commercial for the 1/11 episode of Men in Trees. The song on the commericial went like this:
"Where do we go? Hwere do we go now? Ba, ba, ba, ba!"
I really don't think that I heard the lyrics wrong, but I haven't been able to find the song. Please help! (link)
it sounds like it could be sweet child o' mine by guns n roses, or always by dope. but its hard to tell from just that part of the song. but listen to those songs, and one of them might be it!=]


good luck!


is their stuff that you can buy that will make your hair permanentley straight that i could just buy in a drug store and that will keep my hair straight even when it is really humid out? please help!!! (link)
really the only way to make your hair "permanentley" straight is to go to a hair salon, and im not exactly sue what its called or how its done, but at a hair salon that i went to to get a hair cut a girl was getting her hair permanentley straightened. so, that could be an option. but if you dont want to do something like that, you could always buy a good hair straightener.i have a coriolis, and it is amazing.my hair stays straight throught the whole day, and it doesnt take very long to straighten, because its such a good straightener. and it comes in cute colors=] it is a little pricey though, about 150.i got mine for 120 at the mall because the salesman was trying to get rid of them. but as far as products that you can buy at a store, there isnt really any.

good luck!


I stumbled across this site by accident. I seriously doubt many of you have the qualifications to give real people proper advice. After reading some of your responses to people's inquiries i was quite astonished as to how teenagers find they are able to give quality advice and information to real people in need with such little life experience. If you ask me you are not in a place to give your "personal opinion" when people truly believe you are giving them the right answer simply because you claim "people think i give really good advice". (eg. i am still at a loss as to how a 17 year old girl thinks she can give advice to someone regarding conceiving a child) I know you try to come across as a "godsend" to poeple who are in some sort of personal crisis and need a fast easy answer but the truth is, in the cases where it really counts, there rarely is one; at least not from you. (link)
i know there are countless answers for this question already, but i just wanted to put some input on it.what i have to say, 10 other people could have said, but i didnt read everyones answers, so i dont know, this is just my opinion.

i dont think i give great advide.but there are some categories of things that i know a lot about or that i've been throught, that i could help someone on.i dont tell people to heavily rely on my advice, because thats just what it is, advice.it could be wrong, it could be bad, who knows.but its my opinion, my advice.

this site is mainly teens, give other teens advice. so the questions these teens are asking other teens, chances are there is some teen out there thats been through it, and has something to say about it, whether its good, solid advice, or if its a bunch of bull.thats for the person who asked the question to decide, and thats the chance they take asking for advice on a website like this. i can almost guarentee 99% of us arent qualified to give advice, but we've been through somethings, ever if we're only teenagers.and we know somethings.it might not be a lot of stuff, but its something.and its always good to have a place where you can come and ask peoples opinions and ask for advice from people your age that have been through similar things.

i like to just come on here and ask a question that i wouldnt regularly ask someone in person, because its private on here.noone knows who you actually are unless you tell them, so theres no confruntation factor about it.its easy to ask for advice on here because theres so many people willing to offer their opinion to you, and you dont have to ask them face to face.

theres never a godsend answer to anyones personal crisis, becuase its a personal crisis, so you, personally, have to figure it out.advice from other people help though.its not going to make it better, and people know that.i dont think people expect the advice on here to make their problems poof, because nothing but themselves can.its nice to hear what other people have been through, because sometimes it can make what your going through sound not as bad.



How much do hair extensions cost? (link)
my sister bought glue-in hair extensions and had my other sister put them in for her.she bought them at a place called sallys, and they were about $30 for 18 inches.then the glue to put them in and the stuff to take them out was like $5 all together.but thats only if you want to do them yourself.


Hey... ok, this question is crazy so don't say I didn't warn you.

I think I'm looking for opinions more than advice... and I want to hear what you all think!!

Ok, I am a 20 year old female and I am about to start my third year of college. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for about 3 years. We actually went out for 2 years, then broke up for 8 months because I didn't want a relationship, and have now been back together for a few months. He is deffinitely the love of my life, and we intend on getting married in the future.

Why in the future and not now? Well, he recently joined the army and will be in it for the next 4 years. He is now stationed across the country and is going to Iraq for a year soon. He visits as much as he can, and we have no problems making the relationship work. We always talk about getting married in 4 years, because that is when he will get out of the army and I will be finishing up college.

So what is my question about? Well, we got to talking the other day, and the idea of us getting married NOW came up. The reason this even came up is because if we do it now, he will get payed twice as much for being married and in the military. Not only that, but I will also be able to get on his health insurance plan provided by the army. And lastly, the army would pay for my last four years of college... and because I am not eligible for financial aid, that would save us about 150,000 dollars in loans (after interest) once I am graduated.

If we get married now, there would be no ceremony since it's too last minute... he leaves for Iraq in 2 months. We would just sign the papers and be legally married. In your opinion, is this a mistake? Is it selfish or in bad taste? We both intend on getting married to each other, and we both love one another and have faith in the relationship. If we get married now, we intend on having a big ceremony in a year or two. What do you think? I mean if we are getting married anyway and love each other, shouldn't we just do it now and make our lives in the future easier?

All opinions are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks! :) (link)
i think that if you got married now,it would help out a lot in the future.with all of the benefits from your boyfriend being in the army, you could save a lot of money and someday, when he comes back from iraq,have a big wedding party with all your friends and family.even though getting married isnt about the benefits you get when you marry someone, you said that you love him, so you wouldnt be marrying him for those reasons.if it feels right to both of you to just legally get married for now, and then later have a ceremony, then i think you two should go for it.it wouldnt be in bad tast or selfish if you wanted to get married sometime anyways.

good luck!if you do get married now, i hope all turns out well!



yesterday, i was plucking my eyebrows, and it was taking too long, so i got lazy and tried to shave around them.BIG MISTAKE!i shaved off the top corner of my eyebrow, and then had to fix it so i didnt have a chunck missing.so now one eyebrow is shorter than the other.and its a noticable amount shorter.what should i do?should i just wait for it to grow out and then have a proffesional fix them?or what.please help!i think it looks stupid,and i want to try to fix it as soon as possible!

thanks to anyone that tries! (link)
i've done the SAME thing many times before.when this happened to me, i went to a local proffesional, and she made them look even, like nothing ever happened!so, your best bet would be to go see a proffessional, tell him/her what happened, and see if she/he can help you.chances are, they can, after all-thats what they are trained in.

hope i helped!and good luck


OK My mom just got fired because she had a blood clot in her lung and now can't do anything. My dads job dont pay enough. We have the bills and my dads ex-wife is a jerk. She makes us pay child support and now that my mom is not working we will only be able to pay her. Then we will have to hunt to get food. The bodem line. I dont know how to help her. I just wanna die. What can I doooooooooo? (link)
first off, im really sorry!i know how you feel, my family is going through similar things.

because your thirteen, you cant really do much to help out with money issues. if you know the people in your neighborhood, you could explain the situation to them and ask if they have any odd jobs (ex. cutting their lawns, raking leaves, painting a porch, washing cars,ect.) that could get you some extra money for your parents. it wouldnt be as much as your mom would have made at her job, but believe me, the littlest helps. the money you could make from that could buy your family food for the week, ect.

also, churchs will usually donate money to people in need. if you go to church, you could talk to the paster, im sure he would be more than happy to help your family out.

i really hope the best for you and your family.good luck!if you get a chance later on, leave me a message in my inbox saying how things are going.again, good luck.

hope i helped!


I don't have caller ID. And this girl Alyssa keeps calling my house and saying stuff about me and being all rude. It really upsets me; she has been doing it on Wednesdays starting last week. She calls me a dirty whore and making fun or me and stuff. I don't know what to do. If it happens again I'm calling the police for harrassment. Is that the right thing to do?

(link)
if your absolutely sure it is the girl you said, then you should tell your parents,if you havent already.your parents can decide what would be best,like contacting the police,which would be the right thing to do because if she keeps calling you,it is harrassment.

good luck with the whole situation!i hope you can get her to stop!

hope i helped!


okay you know how in proactive there are like 3 bottles, one for the face wash, one for the toner and one for the lotion..

okay well the problem is that i dont have enough money to buy proactive so could someone give me either a good face wash, a good toner, or a good lotion for ACNE ..it would be plenty of helpful and ill rate 5's for anyone that trys

oh and also for each product i dont want it to be too pricey, like under $10 for each bottle (link)
I use an acne cream called persa-gel 10 by clean and clear.it works extremely well.you can buy it at most drug stores.its about 5 dollars a tube,depending on where you get it.i found a website for it, so you can see what it looks like,or if youd be interested-to buy it.

http://www.drugstore.com/qxp16501_333181_sespider/clean_and_clear/persa_gel_10_maximum_strength.htm


hope that helps!good luck!


so you know how on myspace you can now have "View Pics" & "View Videos"? well what are the kind of videos you put up there .. like, do you take videos w/ your didge cam? or w/ video camera? & how do you upload the videos to your computer? thanksss =] ill rate 5's for anything close to an answerr. (link)
If never actually dont it before, but i guess your supposed to do it with a digital camera, because you probably wouldnt be able to get it on the computer with a video camera.

With a digital camera, you would most likely just upload it onto your computer like you would pictures, but instead of clicking on the link on your myspace to upload pictures, click on the link to upload videos.

hope i helped!


im sorry i couldnt answer your question further.i saw noone had answered it yet, so i wanted to try to help you out.
