Apparently waxing will not make you get red-bumpy things, i think they are 'ingrown' hairs. I've been waxing my vagina twice in total, and i always get 'ingrown' hair (red-bumps) or something?? is this dangerous?? and how do i avoid it?? i don't want to shave, i just want to wax, i think its cleaner. and these bumps are sore and my vagina is jst really itchy... what's going on?! lol.
oh and by the way, how do you remove the hair at the sensitive part. like the inbetween your legs area, where it is close to your vagina? i have ben waxing my mound only, is that right??

Thanks :) (link)
Red bumps after shaving are from irrritation from the razor. So if you shave try to get a single blade, but there are some razors for shaving down there but you really have to search to get it. Also, if you're going to shave, use shaving creame to avoid 100% razor to skin contact. but the red bumps after waxing can be from the hot wax, ripping, or possibably ingrown pubes.


My dad is getting me that phone soon, and I wanted to know what your opinions about it are?
He has the same one, so I've used it. I like it.
And don't bitch about the touch sensitive keys, I personally love them :)

So yeah, your experience with the phone. good things, bad things, what's it missing?

Thanks! (link)
My friend has it! at first, i was a little confused how to use it. like, its kinda like the phone i have now, the new chocolate.. but the touch sensative keys are just fine to me! i love them too. The phone isnt that loud, so if you want a really loud phone for great music i suggest you get a different kind of phone for that use. i personally think its a great phone but it just lacks sound with the speaker phone and music/ringtones. have fun!


anyone know any funs stuff to do in destin?
like renting or going anywhere? ..besdies the beach..i already know thats a must..oh and i heard they have a great outlet mall. (link)
there is a lot of great places to eat! they have the best salmon in the worrrrldd! so if you like fish, i suggest you try that :]. it has great shoppingg. tubing is fun if your hotel is all inclusive. parasailing, anything to do with water is great there. have fun!!


some people on myspace i don't know very well. what are some things to say when adding them? and what are good conversation starters?
thanks in advance :) (link)
You can ask them how they are, how is their summer going, how they did on their report card, if they have any sibilings, etc! anything really, i dont find it weird when someone tries to start a convorsation with me ;] thats how they usually start.
have fun!


my friend _________, 15 went to church camp not too long ago and she met this 18 yr old guy and they became friends and hung out most of the time. they live in different states and they text and stuff. when they were at camp, this 'fortuneteller' told them they were going to get married, they both know he's a joke. but now that guy from church camp texts my friend ________ stuff like 'we should get married', 'i want to come visit you, what's your address?', and other really crazy stuff that she didn't tell me. but she really wants advice because she doesn't like this guy and doesn't want him to visit her or get married but she wants to still be friends. so i need really good advice, because all of her friends have tried and noone could help her, so... (link)
Hmm.. thats a toughie! Maybe she should flat out tell him the truth, that she isnt interested in seeing him, but she still wants to be friends. Good luck!


I'm really not sure what is the cause of it. I took a pregnancy test on July 1st. It said that I was not pregnant. If I was pregnant I would already be a month pregnant so that can't be it or it would have showed up already. Last month my perid started on May 24th. This month it's late like alot. I'm getting signs that it will start but it just isn't yet. Im going to take another test in a few days. Stress could be the cause of this because last month for about a week and a half I worked outside in dead heat. So that could be the reason. Not to mention the day my graduation I was a little nervous and my first gyno visit was last month. The gyno would have also probably noticed if I was pregnant. My bf and I are always extrememly careful and we use a condom. We had run out of them but we didn't do anything that would have gotten me pregnant and again we were very careful during anything sexual. Any advice on what to do or whats causing this would be very helpful. Thanks! (link)
How long did you wait till you took the test? If you took it right away the results wont show up. But, your period could just be irregular because of your stress! If you're that nervous, go to the doctor!


I haven't had a boyfriend in years. I'm not conceited, but I know I'm not ugly. Plus, in the place I live, it's not very hard to get attention. The thing is, why do I still not have a boyfriend? Sure I'm shy, but I see way uglier, shyer girls out there with boyfriends, and I can't figure out why I'm still alone. I'm not the kind of person to respond to some rude holler, or to go after some boy when I'm called. I may be picky, but I don't want to just settle for some horn dog. Am I being unreasonable or something? I'm Hispanic, but I'm tired of the guys I'm always around. I know it sounds weird, but I've never dated a white person. They seem much less rude and obnoxious, but getting people to try something new isn't easy. Since they're much less outgoing, how can I tell if they're even interested? How do I know they're not disgusted or something? Anyway, thanks for reading, and thnx in advance. (link)
Maybe you should start hanging out with people thats your same race? because if you have that in common it wont seem very weird. Also, you could just try to talk to a lot of guys, because if you do, they will be interested in you a little bit more, knowing your always there to talk to them when their bored and if they are all friends you could possibly get invited to hang out with the boys! And hun, a boyfriend isnt everything.. i wish i could live my life without one because it always turns out bad in the end. So don't rush it!

good luck


I'm 15/f. So my mom assures me that my knees are dark because I crawled on the floor a lot as a baby, which would make sense, if it weren't for the fact that my elbows are also dark. I mean, these two areas of my body are REALLY dark. It's as if they stitched parts of another person onto me. I never show my legs because of this, and it's very rare for me to wear short sleeves, even in the summer. I spent 60 bucks on this cream called Meladerm, which you're supposed to use twice a day. I forget sometimes, but I put it on some dark spots on my face and I haven't really seen any difference, despite its guarantee of results after just 2 weeks. Does anyone know anything at all that might help lighten these areas? (link)
I've never heard of that! Crawling makes your knees dark? i think it might be because theres extra skin for when you cross your legs it doesnt like rip or something. But you could try concealer. but who really cares if a patch of your skin is darker then the others? You could also try tanning, and covering the spots with a towel or useing a higher SPF lotion on it.


i don't really like my friends and i want to meet more people and get out more, i hate staying inside.

any suggestions/tips/ideas?

thanks! (link)
To meet people in your area/school, a good idea is to make/keep up with your facebook. you can start random convorsations with the chat that it includes with someone new. good luck!


I'm 18. Should I go out with a 26 year old guy? (link)
Well, age does NOT matter. So if you're really into him go for it :]
just don't get yourself into trouble!
good luck


female age 16, USA...

i've always had pretty bad skin, not like SEVERE acne, but acne nonetheless. i've had a bad breakout on my forehead since 5th grade (5 years), like even before i hit puberty. now it's still on my forehead, my nose, my upper lip, and my chin. again, it's not HORRIBLE but it's... it's definitely there and it's pretty obvious. nothing i do seems to do anything; i HAVE tried proactive, noxema, clearasil, neutrogena three step, and a HOST of other products. though it sometimes fades a bit, it ALWAYS comes back and never goes away enough for me to think that any of those products helped enough.

my mother theorized that i might have a hormone problem?

any ideas/advice/stories from anyone who can relate? what should i do/look out for?

thank you so much... (link)
maybe, you should go to a dermatologist.
also, try watching your diet.

**ADD ON.

a really good face product i use is St. Ives blemish and acne wash. it has like sand in it that scratches off all of the bad stuff, in a good way. Try to get a facebook with sysilic acid [sp?] in it.. between 3-6%. That will improve your face too. Also, putting your face over a boiling pot of water will help! Do this every time before you wash your face! It opens your pores, then, go wash your face with warm water, your pores will still be opened and it will allow the sycilic acid to clear out your pores. Try this and get back to me! :] good luck!


Has anybody ever been dropped by your friends? Like, they just completely ignore you or stop contacting you, etc? Because my friends did that to me several months ago. And when I say several, I mean several. I've gone now a very very long time without the support of my friends. I was just wondering if a similar situation has happened to any of you, and if it has...what did you do? How did you cope? And anybody who really has been through this knows that it's not as simple as just finding new friends. It just really really isn't. Because there are a few people within this group that I'm still a little close to, but there are others which just hate me completely for some reason that I don't understand. And I still want to have some friends, so I can't just drop my few friends I have just so because they're associated with the friends that ditched me. That doesn't work I'm sorry. I'm having a hard time dealing with this...and I just wanted to know if I'm alone in having this situation happen. (link)
This HAS happened to me! It's so annoying. My friends did it to me because i was hanging out with my boyfriend more then them--which i would sit with them every single morning and talk to them while my boyfriend went to a different school--some friends arent true and just back stab you. I tried to talk to them, they just didnt listen. I even am going away with one "friend" this month to hollywood, please wish me luck. It's going to be very awkward with her with me for about 2 weeks. We had a sleepover on sunday, it didn't really exactly work out to well. she got bored and fell asleep at about midnight. i was up, sitting in the bed, texting my friends until 3 or 4 am. [its about 3 am here now in ny] In my contacts, she is under "truee friend". Which is complete bullshit, i told her i was going to change it and she got really upset. You should start being rude back to your friends... becuase they deserve it

OK so since the last time, i like someone new..
This guy i dont go to school with but theres some bad .. he is 4 years older does drugs and smokes.
but i did it again an once i realizd i liked him i tried to get my friend and him together. it didnt work and he was the one that got hurt out of it. i felt really bad and i started talking to him on the phone and texting and now i reallly like him and someone told me he liked me too so i went and did it again and tottaly ignored him he got really annyeed and so im talking to him again but only when other people are around. i dont know what to do because im afraid if i come near him he will ask me out even though that would be cool cause i like him so much it would also be like horrrible because he is 4 years older drugs smokes prob drinks but he is sooo cool an nice. (link)
if you really like him, you'll deal with the smoking and drinking. but, if he does ask you out, don't get into drugs! drinking is okay if you're with a loved one. Age doesnt matter sweetie! all that matters is if you have a healthy relationship.
good luck


hi i just got a haircut today and the guy hit my eyebrow with the trimmer..and one half is pretty much gone.
will that grow back in?
and how long will it take? (link)
It will take about 3 weeks for the full brow to come back :]


what are some things i could change during summer so when i go back to school people wont even notice me? (link)
Getting tanner, thinner, or more built. Dye your hair, get eye color changing contacts w/o any like seeing stuff in it. change your fashion style. You need to include a little more information about yourself now..


I uninstalled internet explorer on my computer and deleted any folder that is named internet explorer. so what i did specifically was uninstalled every details that it could still have left. i tried to install it again because i had the ie installer downloaded and when i did it it says cannot install because it has detected a newer version already installed. but it cant be because i already uninstalled it. so i want to know if there is something i could do to install it back or is there some kind of error in my computer. (link)
Do you really need IE? If you do, i can't exactly help with that. But if you don't you can download safari from itunes, or Firefox from any trusted site.
sorry i couldn't help much!
