Do women find a guy with a hairy chest attractive? I'm 24, hairy, but not out of control hairy. I'm not overtly self-conscious, but I get the feeling that body hair is considered unattractive. ???
Don't hold back. I want real answers. Hopefully, from real women. Thanks.

I personally find it disgusting looking, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

im really confused.im a catholic and bieleve in everything it teaches.iv been baptised and confermed too.but i also beilieve in abortion.i think women should have the right to choose if they want.is this a sin? does this mean im goin to hell? pleaz answer.

Well, I'm Christian (Baptist to be exact). According to the Bible, abortion is murder. Murder is a sin. So technically, yes, it's a sin. But if you have Jesus Christ in your heart, which, sorry if I insult you, I know nothing about being Catholic, then no, you will not go to hell. If you believe Jesus is God's son and that he died for you, then no, you won't. Remember, all sins are forgiven.

I need GOOD grades to get into a certain group, and be consistent about it. Does anyone have study tips or ways I can pull off a good grade by the end of the year?

Take notes. Anything important your teacher says, write it down in a special notebook. Do homework AS SOON as you get home, while your brain is still fresh on the material. Pay attention to everything, and don't cram for tests. Start studying as soon as you find out about them. And be sure to find out what chapters and material the test will cover. Also, if you have extra credit projects, do those.

I was wondering if you kept a journal? I do on my computer. If you do have a journal what do you write in it? Can you give me something out of your journal to give me an idea. If not that's ok. But if you can I would love it. But I think my journal is just plain boring. But please help if you can.

Thanks!

I've always kept a journal. They're not always really interesting, but they give me something to look back on when I'm old. :P Sure, I'll post an entry.

My mom is so stupid. She wants me to do this stupid music theory thing on the computer. I don't want to, but she's forcing me. First she makes me play, then she makes me play in public, and now this? Do I not have ANY friggen say in my life!? I even said I didn't watn to do it, and she said "Too Bad.".
Bible study is tonight....like every other Thursday...
I have to go to the orthodontist tomorrow. Why? I mean, I already have my braces off...
And did I mention that Jessica used to think jared was fat and ugly, and now she thinks he's uber sexy? Gah, what a loser.

[/entry] See, it doesn't have to be interesting. You're the only one reading it, or at least I am, so just write about your day, and what cool events are coming up. :)

what is the best prescription treatment for acne

A PRESCRIPTION treatment? I suggest going to your doctor and asking him what would be best. Or a pharmacist, have them give you some names and ask your doctor about them. As for a non-prescription, Clearasil works REALLY well, it's quite strong for not being a prescription.

~Laura~

well i am a 34 C and ii was wOnderiin wut are sum GREAT push-up bras...cuz i need to know

You're a C cup and you still want bigger? Be thankful for what you've got. But, Victoria's Secret does have some great ones, and so does like Department Store type of places, like JC Penny's or Sears. I've also heard that strapless give you a fuller look, but I don't wear them so I wouldn't know for sure. Good luck on your boob hunt. :P Lol

hey, i asked a question before about the whole tutor thing and not being sure about what people would say... i have another thing that brings me down. i just went to freshman orientation and everyone was looking at eachothers schedules and i learned that all of my friends are in honors classes and i'm the only one in CP classes. and i'm not exaggerating when i say all of my friends i do mean ALL of my friends. this might sound really consited and selfish but I'M the one that has the higher goals in life and I'M the one that wants to have a great future and they mostly just throw their lives away focusing on boys and partying. the majority of them just want to become like a hair dresser or something like that and i'm the only one that wants to do something great and that's goint to help people I'M the one that wants to be a doctor. why can't I have the good grades??? i'm the one that needs it! i want to be a doctor while all my other friends hardly even want to plan their future! i find this totaly unfair! i feel so stupid sometimes and i just want to sit and cry. what can i do to make myself feel better about all of this!?PLEASE help i rate high!

First of all, being a hair dresser is something great. Did you know that you have to go to college for a year and take finals and everything, just like if you wanted to be a doctor? Oh, and if you want your own BUSINESS, you have to take TONS of HARD math and accounting courses to make sure you know how to operate it correctly. Sure, you don't have lots of years of college, but you have to work, and HARD. Just like you. If you want better grades, and if you want to be in honors classes, study. It's not their fault that your grades aren't the way you want them, and personally I think you're being very rude by putting down their plans just because you think being a doctor is so fine and dandy. You have NO idea what their goals may be, they may want to be doctors too, but just aren't sure right now. So stop concentrating on them and their grades and concentrate on your own.

~Laura~

PS. Sorry if that sounded rude, but I get very angry when people think their plans for life are so much better than others.

I know the lyrics to this song, but I don't know what the song is called... where should I go to find the song title?

Or, what I do is go to Google and type in a line of the lyrics, and then put lyrics after it. Like "lyrics you know here lyrics".

is it better to wear tampons during your period if your a cheerleader or pads??? plz help!

Well, Iamcrying, wearing a tampon is just leaving the blood inside you, so basically there's a pool of blood still there.

But, I too say tampons, they're less of a hassle. Just be sure and change them often.

hey sweetie..question!:) my boyfriends birthday is coming up on sep. 3rd..and the same day is our 6 month ann. my first varsity soccer game and his 17th birthday. i already got him gifts, but i wanted to know what else can i get him..or surprise him with. i was going to hang out with him that night and do stuff with him like normal - but make it all about him..but i have my game..are there any little things you can think of? thanks!!

x0x-dani

If he's not busy, invite him to your game, and if you have an announcer, have him give a special birthday shoutout, or ask him if you can do it. And if he comes to your game, take him out for dinner before or after it.

~Laura~

how do you get rid of body odors done therE?

Umm, well, Summer's Eve makes special like shower gels just for that stuff, it's fairly cheap too, and you can get it at Wal-Mart. Also, get some panti-liners. Yeah, cheesey. But they work. They are like mini pads, they're REALLY little you can't even feel that you're wearing them, but they catch any discharge and keep you fresh. They also make scented ones, too, so yeah. And if you use the liners, make sure you change them every time you go to the bathroom, otherwise you might get the problem back again.

A friend of mine has recently put on some extra weight, yet she continues to wear the same clothes that are obviously to small for her. While in her bathing suit she said she didn't understand why it was so small, and that it must have shrunk. I don't know if she realizes the truth or if she is in denial.

I am her good friend, should I tell her the truth of what I am thinking, and if so how do I do it without hurting her feelings?

No, don't tell her. She obviously likes the way she looks, and thinks she looks good in those clothes. It's not really your place to say "hey, fatty, get bigger close, you look fugly." You shouldn't care what she looks like, actually.

does age matter cause im 13 almost 14 n i like a 17 year old n a 18 year old n my friend is bout ready to get me n the 18 year old out..plz help me

Just don't have sex, it's illegal for anyone 18 or over to have sex with someone younger than like 18 or 16. But other than that, go for it. My guy's 16 and I'm 13, so yeah, it happens.

~Laura~

I'm 14 and I've never had a boy friend. Is there something wrong with me? -sobs-

No, of course not. That just means the right guy hasn't come along yet. :D

~Laura~

Here lately, my boobs have been hurting REALLY bad. Like in skool and volleyball practice when i run they REALLY hurt. I have had unprotected sex before, so could this mean im pregnant or something? I mean, it hasnt even been a month since i had sex last, so would i be able to tell yet or still have to wait. or will ur boobs hurt when u get pregnant?

Please help!! Im only 14 by the way..

Well, wait until you are supposed to get your period, and if you don't get it, obviously buy a pregnancy test and then go to the doctor. Until then, wear a sports bra, a good fitting one. It's good for active people, ya know, sports and all that.

~Laura~

well my friend started doing my eye brows for me and she shaved them the top and bottom instead of plucking so now i have to do that everytime they need to be plucked/shaved but now i have really bad breakouts above my eyebrows does anyone know what to do??

I use a warm rag, same as Manda. But have you tried those personal trimmers? They are kinda like shavers, but they have a special eye-brow attachment, you might want to try one. You can pick them up at Wal-greens for like ten bucks or so. And have you tried waxing? It hurts, but if you have it done professionally, it lasts a good amount of time...

I'm 13, and I am 5`1. Is there any ways I can grow taller? I heard that after you get your period, you stop growing, but i want to keep growing, because I got mine at an early age (9). My mom said that Yoga will add PLENTY of inches (maybe up to 5`6) , but is there another way that I can get taller? Thanks.

Comments to some of the answers, even if your parents are skyscrapers, you could still be short. Everyone in my family is over 5'9", but my sister is only 5'1" or 5'2". What about your parents' parents, are they short?

And yeah, Yoga REALLY helps. As does milk, and try some walking/running/jogging. I can't garuntee it will work, but it does for some people.

How can I keep my eyeshadow on all day? It's powder eyeshadow that I love but it always fades away during the day. I don't want to keep reapplying it. Any tips so my eyeshadow stays on longer?

Put on a little Vasoline or patroliam jelly before you put it on. Just a little tiny bit, apply it with a q-tip and dab it with a kleenex. Then apply your eyeshadow. Works like a charm.

~Laura~

Okay. I just got a phone nuber from a guy and I was wondering. What do I do with string?
