i'm 5'8 and 112 pounds maybe? how fast can i lose around 10-15 pounds and how? what are some things i can do?

uum you deffinetly don't need to lose any weight. You're tall and 112 is NOT a lot for your height. I'm like, anywher between 105 - 110 and I'm only 5'3 and I'm not fat at all. Don't try losing weight

I'm sorta pale and have dark hair so alot of people asume I'm goth and it really ticks me off! I just dont like outdoor activities and have a huge fear of bugs...I even think pale guys are way cute! I'm afraid maybe a guy wont think I'm as pretty because of my skintone...which isnt PAPER white I'm part native american so even when my skin is VERY base there is a little color in it and I have freckles. I dont know...I'm just worried guys wont think of me as cute/hot because of it..help?

Try a self tanner, or you don't really have to do outdoor activities. When you go to the beach (or even if you don't have any beaches near where you live) you can tan outside in your yard or something.

ok soo im going to a wedding tomorrow and im going to a hair salon to get it done. any ideas? my hair is medium length w/ long layers.

I think if you put it half up and do loose curls would be so cuute. Or if you wore a nice headband and left your shortest layers in front of the headband. And keep it straight or curl it.

Has anyone ever purchased anything thing from Oriental Trading Company? I'd like to buy some party supplies from them, but I'm always weary of online buying. Are they a safe site to order from? They have a Hacker check.

Yupp. Well,I think so. My friend had a party and ordered a bunch of stuff from there and she's had no problems, so I'm pretty sure it's safe.

I just moved in to a house in Lake Park, NC. I have lived here for a week and I like this girl that lives across the street. I don't have the nerve to ask her out. Can someone tell me a good way to ask her out.

Signed,

newkid

Don't ask her out right away. Get to know her. Become friends with her. Once you know her better you'll be more comfortable asking her out.
good luck

I have been wanting a perm for sooooooo long. I want a body wave perm. I picked out this supppperrrr cute hairstyle. But, i am doing the locks of love thing. Is it ok if i get a perm and still do the locks of love thing? I know they don't allow color treated hair,,, but what about perms...i want one sooooo bad. thanks in advance and i will rate your advice.

Maybe you can do locks of love then get the perm. because if you get a perm and then cut it all off it will be a waste of money.

Yeah you probably slept on it wrong. I do that alll the time. I woke up the other day and my leg hurt lol idk I sleep retarted. If it still hurts after a while, maybe see a doctor.

I'm a 14F going into highschool and I'm BARELY 5'1"!! Are there any special foods/excercises that could make me grow?

--Short Freshman.

nope. theres no food that will make you grow you'll eventually get a growth spurt. believe me, some tall people wish they wre shorter.

okay i'm about to turn 13 and i havnt had my period yet. i live with my dad so its really hard to bring up that subject, and i cant shave my legs because, again, its hard to bring up the subject. what should i do? i cant go to anyone else either.
thanks in advance

Well you don't really have to ask your dad to shave your legs, just do it. Thats what I did lol. and about your period, when you do have it, you don't have to have some big discussion about it, just be like hey dad can we go to the store I need some tampons lol. I'm sure he won't make a big deal about it.

I'm 13/f and I live in Texas. My mom is starting to make me use my own money to buy clothes and cosmetics. The problem is, I have no way to make enough money. My mom says I could do work around the house, but she pays me SO little! Say, $1 to do the dishes and 50 cents to water the plants outside. I used to get an allowence but ever since my parents divorce, money is tight (my dad actually makes a lot of money but he's kind of selfish and will no longer give my mom the money to give me an allowence) so I don't get it anymore. I have tried babysitting by passing oout flyers, but no one even called me; my mom says I'm too young. What should I do??? I REALLY need to find a way to earn some money...the only way I get it now is when my grandparents give me an extra $5 bill sometimes when I visit(AFTER my mom tries to persuade them not to!)HELP!!!

Yeah I pretty much have the same problem as me. I need money but have nowhere to get it. If i were you I would get some friends together and have a big yard sale or car wash. Also, I saw this thing on the news where these girls were having a lemonade sale for some cause(idk what it was I didn't see it from the beginning) and they made over $300. Good luck!

I'm sixteen years old and people tell me I'm really good at picking out clothes and looking cute. The problem is no matter what dress I try on it look bad on me. I'm kinda pear shaped and I have wide hips. Do you know of any styles of dresses or places I could find dresses that would most likely look good on me?

You should get a dress that is tight at the top, you know,like that scrunchy material? lol I don't know how to describe it. And then starting at the hips, maybe a little higher, it's all flowey, so it won'r cling to your hips and make them look wider. You can find them at any department store.

OKay, i am a redhead. unlike most, i don't have freckles everywhere. I have them along my nose and under my eyes. i absolutely CAN NOT STAND them. i was wondering if there is any way of permanently getting rid of them without covering them up with makeup. And please don't say don't get rid of them because they are cute...because i can't stand them. Thanks in advance, i will rate your advice.

sorry but there's nothing to get rid of freckles. Makeup is probably the only thing that will minimize them. You just have to learn how to except them.

Can someone explain to me how the hell do you put eyeliner on the top i always have like this space where you can see my natural skin color..

Well when I put it on, i pull the skin on the outer part of my eye, and put it really close to my upper lashes. I know what you're talking about, because thats what I used to do. You just can't be scared to put it closer to your eyelashes.
good luckk

my boyfriend is a cousin ov mine.we have been together for one year and are mad about each other.just lately we have been arguing alot and he has started to get paranoid about us been seen together. im really scared of losing him. does he love me or not?

uuum no offense but why the hell are you going out with your cousin? Thattt's pretty weird. If I were him I would be paranoid if I were him... people would probably be disgusted if they knew you were together.

out of opinion, would you say that 5'4'' was tall or short for a 15 year old girl?

I'd say that's a pretty average height for your age

[view]

i am 13 years old and i weigh 86 lbs is that over weight or under?

well it really depends how tall you are. if you're about as tall as me (5'2 -5'3 ish) then you're underweight(im 13 too). but if you're short then i think you're fine.

right after when you take a shower or whenever, is it best to brush your hair with a comb or brush? and which one causes more splitends because i want to get rid of mine? and other tips would be helpful

Brush your hair when its wet. If you use a brush it can stretch your hair ad break it and cause split ends and all that.

Ok....i know im only 13 but i want to wear a thong but im afraid my mom will get mad at me for asking should i just buy one and hide it?

i feel hot around guys if i wear a low cut shirt or something that guys like they always think i dress the perfect way becasue half the time they look down my shirt and they like that but one day they asked me if i wore a thong i said no.

i think it would be comfortable but i dont know how to ask my mom cus she dosent even let me date

yeah, I would just ask her. I asked my mom and she really didn't care because my sister wears them, so shes used to it. It doesn't really have to do with dating because it's just underwear.
