OK. I'm 16 and I'm male. I made myself throw up twice about a week ago, and got a killer sore throat. Never doing that again.
Anyways, is it possible that my stomach shrunk because of it? Because I have found that less food is needed to make me full. I used to be able to eat 3 slices of pizza, but I'm getting full after 2, and today, I got full on 4 mozzarela sticks. Is my stomach shrinking, not allowing me to eat as much? Is there something I should know?
Thank You!

-PS: I am NOT throwing up ever again, it was an awful experiance. Please don't critisize it or anything, it is done and over with. (link)
Hiya,

Firstly, no good advicenator will criticise you - that's not what people are here for - they are here to give advice, not judge.

It's a fact that the less you eat the less you need.

Your stomach probably has temporarily shrunk - at the end of the day all it is is a big muscle - if you didn't excersize for a week or did less excersize than normal - even for a short period of time your muscles would deteriorate - this is what your tummy has done!

You have nothing to worry about, just (and I know I'll probably sound like your Mom and Dad saying it but I'm gonna anyway! Lol) DON'T do it again!

Just eat what you feel comfortable with eating and you'll be back to normal in no time!

well about a week ago i used facial bleach to give myself highlights. anyway, the hair i highlighted gets lighter and lighter as time goes on...is this supposed to happen? i thought it stayed the color you got after you did it. any explanations? thanks! (link)
Hey there,

Having REALLY dark brown hair myself I know that if you ever try and high light it with any kinda bleach it will keep changing colour for a while.

There ain't much you can do about it other than this.......


If it starts getting dull then once you have shampoo'd and conditioned your hair rinse it in lemon juice and cold water.

If it ever get's a ginger tint to it or goes green after you have swum in chlorinated water then (i know it sounds gross!) then put a bottle of tomato ketchup in your hair - put it in a hoy wrap (a hot towle wrapped REALLY tightly round yer head!) for 10 minutes and it'll change it back to the colour it's meant to be.


In my opinion though dark hair is sexier - and if you ask most men they will say the same too..... apparently it makes us look more mysterious!!!!

Sorry - didn't see the last line of your question!!!

Am gettin old now - lol - eyesight is not what it should be - LMBO!!!

You should have a good look around the place where you live cos most have a "Trainee" night where you get chaep colours/high or low lights just cos the person doing it is a trainee, they do have a professional watching over them though and like I said if anything goes wrong or you aren't happy with it then you can ask them to put it right and it won't cost you anything.

i need some great yet easy pranks to get my friends. we all ways prank each other, but i havent had a good one in a while. all suggestions will get 5's. (link)
Hey there!!!

I work in a bar pert-time and one of the funniest pranks I ever pulled was to put Tabasco Sauce round the rim of a glass that someone was drinking out of!!

First he went purple, then he went red then the next thing I saw was him ask for the other barmaid to give him some ice which makes the burn worse!

Otjer than this go to 222/bestpranks.com and you'll find one to suit!!!

Have fun, but remember not to do anyhting to serious!!!


Let me know how it goes!!

I have been pulling out my eyebrows for over a year now, non stop. It's everyday. Beforehand I feel a certain tension(anxiety), it gets overwheliming especially when I am stressed out. Sometimes I pull for no reason while watching tv or such and then in the middle Ill catch myself doing it. So I stop for a few minutes then find my hand traveling back up to pull again. It's so pleasurable to feel the hair be pulled from my brow area. But now since it has been a year I am really wanting help with this, it looks horrible. I can't stop, it is just like cutting its a release of tension and helps me feel better at the moment. But now if I try to let them grow they grow all scattered out and are very course feeling which makes me want to pull at them even more because I cannot stand the prickly hairs. And when I do pull them out they have black roots and are very oily at the roots, I am afraid I have permantely damaged the folicle. what are some ways to help them grow back faster and better looking? (link)
Hey there,

Yo have the exact same thing I did when I was about 11 except I used to pull my head hair out and ended up with a really embarrasing bald patch in my head and ended up with my hair in a lopsided ponytail to hide it for 2 years (it earn't me the nickname bunyip!)

The good thing is that you actually know that you are doing it.

The best thing you can do (and this is what I did) is tell a friend you sit with in class what you are doing to yourself and get her/him to keep an eye out ofr you doing it and then tell you to stop it when you are.

Other than that you could seek professional help bt this is expensive and doesn;t always work.

Another thing you could try is smoothing your brows down with vaseline cos this is greasy and will stop you from being able to get hold of them so easily.

Don't wprry though, this happens to a lot of people and it generally happens if you are stressed, so if anyhting is partuclarly stressing you out at the moment then share it with someone and get them to help you stop the stress.

Whatever happens I hope this helps and if you need a chat about anything fel free to e-mail me at MelanieHarvey@hotmail.com

why is it bad for guys to drink mountain dew?
(link)
Hey there,

The only thing that you should stop you (medically) from drinking Mountain Dew is that it is FULL of sugar and it could rot your teeth - there is nothing more sinister than that about Mountain Dew - if there was anything in it that could lower a mans sprem count or give you cancer or brain damage or ANYTHING like that then the governmaent would allow it to be sold on the market.

You can keep happily drinknig Mountain Dew but to be on the safe side change to the Diet version cos it tastes just as good but won't give you tooth decay....

Ohkay, please no stupid answers. But one of my guy friends said that "there is nothing better than to hear a girl moan when ya finger her". does it come natural to moan or do you jus do it to make the guy happy? (link)
Hey there,

It depends on whether or not you are enjoying it!!! *blushing at my age!*

If someone is doing something that you like to your body it is only natural for you and your body to let them know in some way!

It's the same as if someone punched you you'd shout "ouch" wouldn't you? *Well most people would*

There are no rules - each person is different - some people moan louder than a chocoholic on a diet - some people are silent!

Thing is every person is different - when it happens to you just do what feels natural to YOU....
And most importantly have fun and BE SAFE!!!

A friend of mine (14) is pregnant and I want to know what kinds of things she can/can't do. Like, what foods are best/bad? And what activities should she avoid? Anything that would be a tip to help me be supportive. Thanks! (link)
Whoa!

First thing I would like to say is that she should tell her parents.... she may think that they'll be mad with her at first but they are the people that love more than anyone else in the owrld and they'll support her no-matter what she does.


Secondly, I would advise her under NO CIRCUMSTANCES to smoke or drink..... doing either of these thing will damage the baby.


She should also stay away from sushi (raw fush) and mayo (raw egg)

If she is less than 3 months then I would advise her to start taking Folic Acid, this will make the baby stronger.

The best thing she can do is go and see her doctore (gynae), He will be able to give the best advice she can get.... if she is nervous of doing this then tell her you will go with her.

Whatever happens let her know that you are there for her - it really helps.

If you need to talk more then please e-Mail me at MelanieHarvey81@hotmail.com

Take care (of you and your friend!)

okay well i just got my haircut and i hate it.. i told this lady not short and no bangs and she made itshort with bangs and i hate it!! but all my friends are like its so cute and the guy i like told me it looks great, but i was just wonderin... do guys like it better if a girl wears her hair up or down?? (link)
HEy there,

Don't worry about your hair, it'll grow back soon enough!

Guys don't loke girls cos they have bangs/don't have bangs

They like them for who they are!

As long as you don't dye it green and put pink streaks in it he'll probably still like you, just cos you are you and for no other reason!


It'll grow back soon, I promise!!!

what are some self tanners that will make me tan without having it look fake?
(link)
Hey there,

When my tan needs topping up a little (i live in the UK where there is VERY rarely any decent sunshine!) I use St.Tropex.

It's quite expensive but lasts a week, doesn't streak and smells delicious!

I have thin hair about a bit past my shoulder and I was wondering if curlers...or rollers, I don't know what they are called, would work for my hair. Also what size should I get. I'm not talking curling iron but you know, hair rollers. Does anyone know any good brands of them also, and if I should use any hair products in my hair when I use them? (link)
Hey there,

Myself I have really long curly hair (and would give ANYTHING for it to be straight!!!)

My best friend though has really thin, straight and limp hair and the way I curled her hair for her when she got amrried was a lot cheaper (and a lot more comfortable!) then heated rollers/curlers.


All you need to do is buy a cheap pair of stockings (any colour will do!) and chop them straight across then make a tiny hole in the middle, poke the end of your hair through and roll it up toward your scalp...... leave it in all night then just before you take them out spray them with hairspary and take them out..... DO NOT BRUSH YOUR HAIR ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THIS!!! IT WILL GO FRIZZY!!!

Halfway thorugh the night if you find your curls are getting a bit limp then spray some water (only a little) on them and they'll bounce back up.

Cos it's really cheap to do you can practise a few times before you actually need to wear your hair curly!


You are SOOOOO lucky to have straight hair though!!!

if someone u know has diabeties and u accidently/purposly drink out of their cup that they drank out of, what could happen if anything?no smartass answers nd btw, this aint for me (link)
Hey there,

No, no harm will come to you from drinking out of the same cup as a diabetic.

The only drug that a diabetic (In most cases) uses is Insulin and they normally inject themselves with it so it wouldn't be in a cup they were drinking out of anyway - you have nothing to worry about!

i was just wonderin if theres a chart for to dye your hair ..like you can look for the color you want or w/e..i hope you kno what im trying to say..okay i just want a chart to see the colors that i can dye my hair! please help!!

(link)
Hey,

There is only one real way of knowing what colour your hair is going to turn out and that is by doing a strand test..... believe me..... I picked the most gorgeous mahogany colour to put on my hsir when I wa about 19 and when I actually did it I went bright ginger and spent £40 getting a stylist to put it back to my natural colour!!!

Other than that you could try a shampoo-in colour, there is no way of finding out what colour it will turn out til it's done cos some people (Especially poeple like me with dry ends and greasier roots!)it will be darker/lighter than others!


Another tip is to have it done at a salon because then if it doesn't turn out th right colour then in most place they will correct it for you free of charge!!

I want to sing "Because of you" by Kelly Clarkson at the talent show at school but i don't know where to buy just the music without the words. Does anyone know any sites online? thanks i appreciate it. (link)
The best place I have found to find free sheet music is...www.freesheetmusic.net

Then you can search by instrument and then artisi then song.


Hope you find what you are looking for.

hey
on my homeowrk i have to find the mean for a set of data. i forgot how to do this. does anyone kno?
(link)
HEy,

The mean is the average of a group of answers you have.

If, for example you had questioned 5 people on how good on a scale of 1 to 10 Pepsi cola tasted and they voted as follows....6 7 9 9 4 then you would add them all together and then divide by 5 because that is how many people (answers/options) you had then the mean would be 7

All the numbers you have collated up and divide them up by how many numbers/responses you had.

Hiya!

Am a REALLY big R'n'B fan but can't quite place these lyrics..... the best thing I can advise you is to go to Ask Jeeves and type the lyrics in and see what he comes up with.


Hope u find the song ur looking for.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good hair removal product or technique to remove hair from both of the "uhum" (the full back to front removal) areas for the girl, as well as the pitts, which can be done in the privacy of my own home.

Thanks (link)
Hey lady (t's an english tern of endearment to other females!),

I know you asked this question light years ago but the best non-pain hair removal I have EVER found is this stuff my friend brought over from Australia.

IT's called NADS and it's fantastic, it doesn't hirt a bit and you don't get that nasty itchy rash that makes you get funny looks in supermarkets etc......

It's about £10 per pot but it's RE-USABE so in theory it lasts forever, I've had my tub for 6 months and it's still working as well as it did on day 1!


It smells nice too, just type it into ANY search engine and have alook see which is the cheapest option for which part of the world you're in,


Take care and pull upwards!!!

We have been together for 6 months and had a good sex life, but lately I have to initiate sex and often get rejected. My partner did make the comment that he has issues with my weight, which hurt me, but his loss of libido has been an issue that he has had before with other partners so I'm trying not to take it personally. This is very hard and find myself often getting very upset that he doesn't fancy me.

He has type 1 diabetes but was masturbating regularly before so he doesn't seem to be suffering from a sexual dysfunction, it also hurts that he masturbates, but doesn't want to have sex with me. We are very affectionate and loving couple in other ways and love each other very much. I'm finding it very hard to bolster my self esteem in this situation though, which is exacerbating the problem. I sometimes feel like running away then sorting out the problems. I hate that I'm feeling rejected and needy of him.

Hey you!

(It's a UK greeting, you'll have to excuse me)

I am a grade 8 in Piano and Flute, a grade 6 in clarinet an Oboe and I can also play the bagpipes (in my opinion the best noise in the World! (other than ENGLAND 4- GERMANY 0!!)

When you say you need to know how to read sheet music what do you mean....... do you understad how the notes work (c d e f g a b c and all the smi-notes between) or do you need teaching from the beginning?)

I can forward by e-Mail some really helpful stuff that has helped me teach piano stdents in the past if you'd like.

If so e-Mail me at MelHarvey@hotmail.com

Whatever you decide....... REAL music comes from the heart not from ancient composers that wrote it 500 years ago (not that it's bad, just that times have changed)

hey..whenever i get my period i get really depressed and i hate it..and i feel liek whenever i feel this depresssed there is no way out of it..but whenver my period ends it's gone..i kno that this happens to some people..does anyone have any ideas on how to alleviate the depression? (link)
Hey Chick-A-Dee (it's a UK term of endearment from one girly to another!)


I used to get really miserable right before my period when I was your age too, eating LOADSA chocolate doesn't work it just makes ur bum big!!!

Thankfully my Mom is a Homeopathic Remedist.

Try taking "Oil of Evening Primrose" the week beore you are due on, and for the first 3 days you are bleeding

If this doesn't help then see your GYNAE and he can prescribe pills that will reduce the MISERABLE feeling. (they will also make your periods lighter. and if you get them your spots fewer )it's called DIANETTE. (It is a contraceptive pill and they will test your blood pressure and BMI and stuff to see if you are compatible with the tablet if not then they will find another (I only know this one cos I was on it for years!)
