My sister has really bad cramps! Does any one know some quick fixes. She has already had motrain if that helps! Thanks!!

She can take Midol, which will get rid of the cramps. She can take a heating pad and put it where the cramps are or she can take a hot bath. There are other ways too but those are just ones that will help.

Nope, there is no chance that you can get pregnant, since he didn't get cum.

My friend admitted to me that she has a slight bulemic problem. The thing is.. she asked me not to tell. I looked online and found some symptoms/side effects and such of bulemia and i noticed she's been showing a few of those.. so i believe her that she has a problem. I just don't know what to do! She says she only does it sometimes..like when she's moody or something.. but that seems to be a lot. I know she'll get mad at me if i tell someone about it but i really want to help her! What can i do?

Well, if you see her getting worse, than you should tell someone. Bulemia is probably one of the worst eat disorders because when your friend throws up, the acids from her stomach ruin her esophagus. You need to be there for her and try telling her what bulemia will do to her. She probably already knows but you should explain all the effects and such. If she makes herself throw up when she's moody, try making her stay in a good mood. Just be there for her and show her that you care for her. You could always talk to a guidance counselor and ask what you could do about this for a friend. You don't even need to mention your friend's name. I've never had bulemia but I was pretty close to becoming anorexic and my friends were there for me and told me that I should eat and so on. Good luck with everything.

Then, go to your Profile Settings and paste it in the "URL of a picture of you" section and then hit submit. Or you can save the picture you want to your computer and then hit browse in your Profile Settings and upload it that way.

i use soft and dri gel and 1. it doesn't seem to work very much cuz i still have these sweat circles under my arms on my shirt 2. it doesn't really dry quickly so whenever i put my shirt on theres stains on it cuz it touched my armpits.. kinda embaressed to ask this buh does anybudy have any recommendations on like really strong deoderent and if not, wut i can do about the gel stains??

I definitely recommend that you should try Certain Dri. It's a very strong anti-perspirant deoderant that makes your pores smaller and you won't sweat at all. It costs about $10.00 at your local pharmacy but it depends where you buy it for the price but it's really worth it. Try using a very strong anti-perspirant deoderant that has a solid powder. This will help you also.

what is the best position to sleep in while on your period? thanks

The best position to sleep in while you are on your period is on your stomach. The blood won't leak, if you are wearing a pad, and it will go towards the front part of the pad. You could also lay on your side too. It really doesn't matter what way you lay when you sleep, whatever position you are comfortable with, it's alright.

are the cookies in the computer bad? should i delete them? if so which kinds ?

No, they aren't bad at all. You should only delete ones that make a certain website load up really slow. If you have too many cookies in your computer, it will make your computer load up slow. It's alright to delete them once in a while but don't do it every so often.

Ok well I'm 13 years old, 5'5, and 104 pounds. Is that ok, or am I underweight? Because I have a REALLY high matabilism.. and I'm always afraid that.. well this is going to sound weird... but I'm afraid that It's going to catch up to me and make me so fat!!.. What do I do to make me gain some weight??

It's alright to be afraid that it's going to catch up to you because it is true. Your metabolism will eventually slow down and you will gain weight and if you don't watch what you eat, you will gain a lot of weight but you could always exercise and such, Anyways, yes, you are underweight because I'm 14, 5'4" 1/4, and I weigh 108 pounds and I'm about 20 pounds underweight but it's alright to be underweight. Your metabolism if your excuse. If you want to gain weight, you need to start intaking more calories and eating foods with lot of carbs and such. Just don't eat fatty foods a whole lot because you will gain weight in an unhealthy way.

Hey! I straighten my hair alot, but my straightner takes at least an hour for me to straighten my hair (and it still does barely anything) does anyone know of a certain brand or type of straightner that will straighten my hair quickly, and make give it that straight glossy look? without frying my hair? tHANKS A BUNCH!

A CHI or an Helen of Troy will definitely straighten your hair quickly and it will give you that glossy, straight look if you don't straighten your hair that much.

My friend is thinking of committing suicide what should I do?

You definitely need to tell someone immediately, whether they are your parents or a teacher. Your friend will probably get mad at you for telling someone but it's better than having them kill themself. You should try talking to your friend and ask them why they want to kill themselves. Maybe you could help them with this problem that's making them think that they want to kill themself. Don't let them do this and you need to talk to someone.

so we are jsut friends but my mom says i cant date until im 17 or even just like go somewhere with him last night he was like how many days i was like what hes like until you turn 17 i was like 50 some hes like do you think you will still wanna go tot he movies with me by then. so does he like me or just being friendly? give me lots of advice and i rate high

It definitely sounds like this guy likes you. A guy wouldn't wait 50 days, just to go to the movies with you, unless he liked you. 50 days is a long time and it shows that this guy respects that you can't date until you are 17 years old and that he is waiting for you.

Is it ok to date a second cousin, through marriage?

If you think about it, it really isn't okay, since this person is in your family now and it would be strange to date them but yes, it's okay to date a second cousin, since you two aren't actually related. It's up to you if you want to date them or not.

this is kinda imbarrasing to ask... but i gotta know. i shave down there, ya know? and well sometimes it gets gross. i usually wait like 2 days before doin it again, but i dont know its wierd. and sometimes it even bleeds! OH! and i get these little red bumps. is this normal? is there somethin i can do to make this stop?
thanks in advance!

Yes, it's normal for you to get bumps and to bleed. To make this stop, you need to shave with a good razor and with shaving cream and water. Shave slowly in the direction that your hair grows or towards your head and you won't get these bumps. Usually, if you just started to shave your pubic hair, you'll get bumps but it will go away, once you get used to shaving. When you are done shaving, put some lotion on it and will help you not to bleed and get those bumps.

I was looking at others advice columns and noticed that a lot of people have more than one photo onto their column page, I was trying to figure out how that was done and it didn't work, could someone help me with this, specific directions if possible. Fives will be given to those who answer the question.

To put more than one picture in your column, you need to know the URL of it by right clicking the pictures you want to on your column and copying the "Address URLS" -- or you can save a picture to your computer and then upload it to an image hosting site such as http://imageshack.us, http://www.tinypic.com, or http://www.photobucket.com and then you can get the URL of the picture. Then you paste the URL in this code where it says URL but do not get rid of the quotation marks: Once you have the code all set, log in to Advicenators, click on Profile Settings, and paste the code in the big space where you can describe yourself. You can have as many pictures as you want, just paste another URL in that code.

Ok. So i have been having this problem when i have really sweaty armpits and ive tried practically every deoderant. I wear sweatshirts over my shirt so people dont see the sweat on my shirt. I know that it is natural but is there any recommendations for a good type of deoderant or anything i can do about it? Please Help!! Thanks.

I definitely recommend that you should try Certain Dri. It's a very strong anti-perspirant deoderant that closes up your sweat pores and it won't make you sweat at all. It costs about $10.00 at your local pharmacy but it's worth the price. If that doesn't work, even though it will, you should try talking to a doctor about this and they will prescribe you something.

Some early pregnancy signs are morning sickness (throwing up, having a fever, etc.), feeling sick, missing your period, starting to eat more, and so on. There are others, but these are just a few signs.
