i thought i had a ton of stomach hairs, and well i kind of do, but i recently noticed that they dont look noticeable really unless im out in the sunlight, so my stomach doesnt bother me unless i am outside. so...since its not that bad i think i should just shave every once in awhile based on other peoples advice. ive heard so many different things......does shaving your stomach make hairs grow back any thicker than before or not? please only answer if you know for sure!! thanks!

Yes, it does grow back thicker & darker. It will anywhere you shave! Good luck! ♥

pleeease help me
im getting sick of being single
[it would be great if i could get some guy's thoughts on this]

alrighteyy thanks =]

Well not all guys are like that. The guys that are still immature and haven't figured out that there is more to females than their assets, are not the ones you want to look for. You just have to keep looking for the right guy, sometimes it takes a while but there is always that one person out there that comes along and changes everything. ♥

i want to be like those really cool teenagers the really fun outgoing ones that everyone wants to be friends with but IDK how too get things started or what to make people wanna hang out with me can you give me some tips and dont say just be yourself cause I guess that doesnt work

To be honest hun, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be popular & fit in, however, it does have its downfalls. You should go to new places, hang-outs, & just make conversation with new people. I know it seems like a lot, but casually bump into someone and say "Sorry! Are you okay?" That's a big conversation striker haha. I wish you the best of luck! ♥

My friend (15/F) is definitely over weight. I know that nobody's perfect, and stuff. But she's at the point where it's a potential health risk! It could possibly be my fault for not helping her earlier, but I can't exactly change that now.

Her parents don't exactly help, though. Her dad makes unhealthy, meaty, casseroles almost every night. So, she isn't used to eating healthy foods. And I guess she's too oblivious to notice what she's eating.

Her parents also pressure her a lot. For example, there isn't a waking moment when her dad isn't nagging about some sort of walking. To be blunt, both of her parents are always reminding her of her obesity.

She has a short attention span, and gets annoyed by anything repetitive in the least bit. So, repeating exercises makes her walk away.

She recently bought a Jane Fonda exercise tape, which she used when she was younger to lose weight (which worked). She is convinced that only that exercise tape will work. After a month, she still hasn't received the tape (yes, I'm sure that she did order it).

My question is: how do I help her lose weight without being too pushy? Or should I just wait for the tape? But what if it takes months before she gets the tape?

Also: she will do almost anything I say, as long as it's not too harsh. So, obedience isn't an issue. She's just really impatient and ADD.

SORRY for the massive question! I tried to make it easier to read! Thank you for any answers!

Well it seems like she really looks up to you for guidance, so don't be too pushy in the situation. You should join her in losing weight. Like, if you maybe exercized with her, it could make her feel a lot better. Ask her to go for a jog with you one morning. Encourage her to eat healthier. Say things like "I've been trying healthier foods and their actually not that bad." Make her feel interested in trying new things that could be healthy for her. You sound like an amazing friend & I'm sure she is very lucky to have you!

im in love with my x still and its so hard to move on..
but i realy wanna move on.someone please give me some advice on what i should do..

Eh, been there. Well there many things you can do to get your mind off of him. If you really love him, you can't just move on with a snap of a finger. But you can start seeing other people & trying hard to move on. When it comes down to it all, if you still keep thinking about your ex, then you're never going to find true happiness again. And for all ya' know, he could still have feelings for you! ♥

Advicenators!

Ive started taking dance clas for an hour every morning, & its intense & my whole bodys sore! Especially my legs. We streth before & evrything so im assuming its good soreness. Anyway, how do i ease the pain? I dont want to be sore all summer! Advil/heating? Any tips, let me know! Thanks!

It just means that you're probably out of shape. Stretching & dancing a lot more will help so you don't get sore anymore. Eventually, you're body will be use to the change in excersize and won't get sore anymore. Good luck! ♥

I have an annoying friend and she always talks about her self. I like her because we are besties, but she only talks about HER and what she will be doing and who she talked to and blah blah blah... Everytime I talk about me or anything other than her she changes the subject or doesn't listen to me. She also would ditch me to sit at the back of the class or with cooler people, and she doesn't care if i end up sitting by myself. Please help me, I don't know how to let her know she is making me angrier every day. What should I say to her?

PS. I have tried talking to her about it but she refused to listen and wouldn't take in what I was saying.

Hm, to be honest she doesn't sound like a very good friend AT ALL. If I was you, I'd just be like "hey, the world doesn't revolve around you. I have feelings too, and It would be nice for you to appreciate me more." If she doesn't want to change or appreciate your friendship more, than I would stop talking to her. It sounds to me like she talks to you when no one else is around her. She's probably a very self centered girl who likes attention. I call girls like that attention whores. You deserve someone better as a friend than that. Don't sweat it, she's just self centered & she doesn't even realize it. ♥

I used to fancy some guy. I then found my boyfriend, and we're happy together, etc etc. The "Some Guy" was our mutual friend. I even wrote a bizarre story about me, him, and some other of our friends... That stayed a secret, only my boyfriend knows. I keep getting hints that the "Some Guy" (SG) fancied me. I encouraged him, not seriously, but I do flirt with quite a lot of people. Only just now I found out he doesn't like me in that way at all.
And I'm devastated.
Even if he did, I wouldn't date him. But I'd be pleased. My self confidence is poor. I need to know what's wrong with me.
I feel like burning the story... I just hurt in a strange place.... I feel like im going to cry.
Doesn't help that everyone was telling me he did, and... I'm selfish, and I wanted him to, I wanted to know me flirting with him could make him happy.

... I sound like I'm really lame.
(Im female and in my mid teens.)

I do love him. A lot. But as a friend.... sigh, maybe there's something there.

He can be so cruel. I said i was disappointed, and he laughed. I.... help... help....

I understand what you're saying. It always makes a girl feel better & more self confident when someone besides the same boys or their own boyfriend likes them or thinks highly about them. All of us girls think the same way. But to some people you might not be attractive or anything but you have to think about all the other guys in the world that will cross your path that will think your the best thing in the world. Everyones opinions are different and you can't beat yourself up over one guys opinion. Don't worry about it, just because one guy doesn't like you doesn't mean your ugly or unattractive. It could mean that your not his type, or your too good of a friend. ♥

What are some good stores for plus size hip hop clothing?

I'm not sure what stores you have around you. But some of the stores I've seen with hip-hop clothes are Body Central, Demo, DEB --> that has a whole section of plus size hip-hop clothes! Hope I helped! ♥

If a company says that white people can wear jeans, but blacks can't, that's discrimination (illegal). If a company says that employees over age 30 are allowed to wear sandals, but employees younger than that can't, that's discrimination (illegal).

But when a company says that a girl can have pierced ears and a guy can't, that's totally legal, according to the law.

Why is discrimination tolerated in the workplace when it comes to gender, but not religion, race, age, etc.?

Honestly, the world now-a-days is so caught up in stereotypes and everyone thinks the world has to look picture perfect. The world is so chaotic now it's absolutely ricidulous. In certain people's eyes they want guys to look how they think guys are suppose to look [the whole earing thing] but in reality no one can tell someone how they should look. The owners of the business want their employees to look professional but they can't change who a person is. The world is getting so out of hand with their nonsense and BS. ♥

How can I tan my whole face evenly, without it being more tanned around the nose and cheekbones, and then being really light under my eyes?
Hope you understand the question lol
Thanks =)

I have the SAME problem too! I use the natural glow lotion. I put it on my face, along with the rest of my body. It doesn't make you orange, it just gives you a natural looking tan. Also, when it's on you & you go out in the sun, it helps even your tan out all over. ♥

ive been dating this guy for 1 month we broke up , over stupid stuff...his x girlfriends are physco ..one try ;d to fight me and the other just completely jelous... and he is goin out wit his x, the jelous one but my bestfriend who lives 2 doors down from him told me that he told her that he doesnt really like her, and that she asked him out and he didnt wanna hurt her feelings and he said yes... and she asked him did he still like me and he told her yea...
but he wont get back wit me idk why? so what do i do?

Awh, well there are a lot of explanations. I don't know what type of guy he is or anything but he could be just looking out for you so you don't have to worry about all of the drama from the ex girlfriends. Or, your friend might of bent the truth a little bit to make you feel better & he might not of even said that. But the best thing you can do to get to the bottom of all this is sit down and talk to him about everything. Ask him how he feels about the situation and get the full truth from his mouth only. It really will make you feel better just talking to him about it! ♥

for how long after you get your wisdom teeth out can you not drink out of a straw? is it just for the first day or two, or the whole time the stitches are in?

I think it would be better to wait until your mouth fully heals & feels better before you drink out of a straw. I know that it's real easy to get dry socket if you don't do everything your suppose to while your mouth is healing. I know that dry socket is worse pain than getting your teeth pulled. Good luck hun. ♥

I asked a question like this already, but i was wondering if I wanted to shrink my cotton bathing suit top, how long should i put it in the dryer? also, should i wash it first and then dry it, or put it in already dry? what would give me the best results? thanks!

Hm, I'm not sure how well bathing suits can shrink. But wash it in hot water. Then dry it on high heat for a hour or so. If it still doesn't get any smaller try doing that another time. But dry it a little longer. Bathing suits are HARD to shrink because their made to be wet & dry without shrinking. Good luck! ♥

Hey ,
I was just wondering ,
some people say when you have acne , it depends on the things you eat , if I don't eat any junk food or any things like that will my acne die down a bit or will it keep on spreading?
thank you!

Actually, I've been to a few doctors and they've told me that what you eat doesn't really have that big of affect on acne. Acne can be genetic, meaning it could be something passed on to you from your parents. It also has to do with teenage hormones. Also, periods can be a huge part of acne. Go to a dermatologist, and they will prescribe you a medicine to apply to it, that will clear it all up! ♥

my situation is difficult im fifteen

and sometimes i feel im treated unfair
i suffer with bad anxiety causing me to drop out of school
and go to a hospital school
ive suddenly made friends with a girl my family used to like she shoplift. lied . backstabbed but she was my best friend and i made friends with her again
i feel like my social life is bieng ruined because of my nerves
and i feel like everydays just the same tbh pleas e help!

Aw, I've been there before. This past year was my 11th grade in high school & I quit going the last three months because I was suffering severe depression & anxiety. People at school hated me for no reason & I didn't talk to anyone. I was admitted into a hospital and the nurses and counslers in there, really really helped me. Friends like the girl you described do NOT stick around forever. I learned that in life, it's better not to trust anyone because a lot of people can cause you to have bad anxiety. I learned, that you can be friends with people but never trust them with everything, because people are real quick to backstab you. You need to gain your confidence back & stand up for yourself. Hiding doesn't make problems go away & that's the truth. Facing problems and fixing them is the only way to make yourself feel better. ♥

im in foster care and my my real mum dies only last week i have councelling and professionsal help but i feel my life is going so wrong i was in hospital over an overdose im not feeling sorry for myself and please dont tell me its going to get better i want advice on how to die ??!

Actually, I can relate to you on this one 100%. My mom died three years ago on July 17th. She died two weeks before my 14th birthday. Honestly, I felt like it wasn't real. She was my best friend & without her I felt like there was no point in living. I've been in and out of hospitals trying to get the help I need to cope with her loss. I can really say though, it DOES get better over time. Now, I'm accepting the fact that she's gone. I know that she wouldn't want me to kill myself because she died, or that she wouldn't want me sitting around crying all the time. Talk to doctors and friends, they really help a lot. I've been to a bunch of different counslers and they all have made some sort of impact on me. Trust me, it all gets easier over time. Time heals everything :] Keep your head up, and just remember she's still with you no matter where you are or what you do. ♥

Well, i have this best friend who is a guy. we met a couple years ago and get along great. he recently asked if it was okay with me if we could be friends with benefits. i like him a lot and so i agreed. neither one of us really wants to date, and we want to see how this goes and maybe we'll hook up later. =]

well, the thing is, i've never really done this before. my question is...are there any kind of "rules" or "establishments" that follows being friends with benefits? i don't understand really how it goes. (and yes i've had bf's before so i'm not completely clueless). the idea is new to me, so i just need some info.

16/f
thanks. :)

Honestly, friends with benefits is not the way to go. Someone's feelings always end up hurt. If you really like him, tell him you'd rather date than be friends with benefits. Because how would you feel, if you found out he was messing around with other girls? He'll just say "well, we're not dating so it shouldn't matter." Do you really want that? Friends with benefits does nothing but cause a lot of heartache and pain. Trust me on this one! ♥

When I was 14, I got a job at a hair salon just washing hair. A lot of salons will allow you to wash hair. Also, try going to nursing homes and see if they need any assistance in helping with the people there. Some big jobs such as hospitals, restaurants, etc. Will let you clean the offices and things. Try going to places like Applebees, T.G.I.F, and other places and get an application for a busboy. There aren't a lot of choices when you're 15. When you do turn 16, the choices get bigger. ♥

you guys always say to get a new razor everytime.. and i have to shave every week.. and a new razor every week would get pricey! i want to use nair down there but it might burn so.. what should i do

It's not necessary to use a new razor everytime you shave. I use mine at least 10 times before I change to a new one. The only bad thing about shaving down there, is that if you have really thick hair, it can hurt shaving too often. Use lots of shaving gel and keep your razor clean. Waxing can be painful, but it does last longer than shaving does. The best razor I've found is Venus. ♥
