Q: So I really like how my hair is wet, but I want it to be like that dry. Are there any styling products you know of that will hold the curls as they are??
try mousse.

Q: So I'm looking for a deoderant that doesn't leave white marks and really controls sweating because I sweat constantly! Even when I'm just sitting down! And I live in a cold/rainy environment! Any names?
you could try ban. the roll on kind works pretty well and doesn`t leave white marks.

Q: 16/f, my friend, 16/m and I used to be best friends. Then we just stopped talking for awhile, now we're trying to mend our friendship and get back to our bestfriend status. He has come over the past two nights, which is what he used to do when we were best friends. What are some things we could do, I always feel like he gets bored and won't want to come over one day? Anything except sexual things, thank you.
you guys can do prank calls, watch movies, listen to music, just talk, play truth or dare, or just truth, mess around on the computer, stuff like that.

Q: I don't often go to concerts or shows, but a few of my friends and I for the past month have been talking about going to show on April 7th. We finally agreed to go, and I had been placed in charge of getting the tickets. A week ago, they were on sale but when I checked ticketmaster, the show did not exist and the official tour website says "Presale Closed".

I'm so new to this so I'm just wondering if there will be another chance to buy the tix.
you can still get the tickets, but it`s going to be hard. you`re going to need to buy the tickets at the door before the show, so GO EARLY.

Q: does anyone know the name of the song and band of this song. it says''cause i got you'' a lot in it in a kind of munchkin voice i can't find it. please help me.
don`t matter by akon. i think.

Q: i know they're both bad, but which ones worse?

-estacy, or weed?
definately ecstacy. weed really isn`t very bad for you. it kills a few brain cells, but it`s pretty much the healthiest thing you can smoke. ecstacy on the other hand is VERY bad.

Q: It seems that lately my friends have been letting me down. They always say I am being walked over by people when in fact it usually ends up being them doing it. I have been dating my boyfriend for several months now and I love him alot, and he makes me so happy. That in mind, my friends don't like me dating him and always criticize me for it and make me feel like crap because he is relatively older than me. Aren't friends supposed to be happy for you? Well mine aren't. I know they see it as lookign out for me, but I don't and neither does he. This is where my problem is. He tells me to not stay friends with people who treat me like this and almost gets mad at me for putting up with it. I'm just so confused lately, what should I do?
your friends aren`t worth it if they won`t accept you for who you are and who your friends/boyfriend/family are. find yourself true friends that don`t give you shit about stuff like that, it`s honestly not worth it. i mean, if they genuinely care, that`s good, but they should respect your decision and it sounds like they don`t, it sounds like they just try to get you to be who they want you to be.

Q: i'm 15 and my boyfriend is 16. we've been going out for a year, tomorrow. is it wrong that i don't love him? i know that i don't. i like him, but i honestly don't love him. i know that he isn't 'the one' and i don't want to have sex with him at all, or any time soon. all of the poeple my age that have been going out for over 6 month are always together and claim that they love eachother. i don't. is it wrong, am i being a bitch? should i even bother with him, am i supposed to love him?
you should just break up with him. honestly, you shouldn`t be wasting your life on someone you know you don`t love. you should get out there and try to find someone you love, and your boyfriend should be doing the same thing.

Q: It has been about a month since my ex-boyfriend and I broke up after being off and on for a year. Since the week after, my ex and I have still been talking to each other everyday. He has made it clear he still loves me in at least some way, but I've hidden my feelings, telling him I don't want to be with him and I love him platonically. But theres a problem. He has had a girlfriend since the day after we broke up, and he has cheated on me at least three times when we were together. Should I confess how I really feel before its too late?
tell him how you feel. you only get one chance at life, you never know what you could miss out on. just confess your feelings, but also tell him how you feel about the fact that he`s cheated on you and has had a girlfriend since the day after you guys broke up. try to get him to understand that you may love him, but if he isn`t willing to buckle down and commit himself entirely to you, you don`t want to be in a realationship with him.

Q: I want to get some lingerie that will look really hot on me for when I'm going to do things with guys. I have a cute perky butt and my boobs are on the smaller side. I want something that will make them explode in their pants right away.
What can I get?
Can you send me pictures so I know how they look?
victoriassecret.com
flirtylingerie.com
pamperedpassions.com

those are some good websites you can see what the lingerie looks like and buy it.

Q: How do you know when to kiss someone?
"You'll just know" doesn't cut it for me, k?

Is it when you stare deeply into each other's eyes and happen.. to lean in closer?

Is that the right moment to kiss?

I'm really nervous. I have kissed people before but this is my first kiss in this relationship. Usually my "first kisses" with others.. were bad.

And I want to actually remember this kiss with him.

What is better.. lipgloss or chapstick?

And what will make my breath smell good?
[I don't want to constantly pop in mints]
you pretty much described the right moment to kiss. just have a few mints, maybe one or two. don`t chew gum, it makes your mouth very saliva-y. &DO NOT wear lipgloss. it`s all sticky&stuff. chapstick is good.

Q: I have been in a long relationship (six years)... It is really up and down. He doesn't really like to be romantic w/me anymore. We both have resentment toward each other. I went out of town 2 weeks ago w/ my family and met somebody. He asked for my number and my Sister gave it to him. He has called me a few times and we email each other. I really like him, but I am an honest person and I know that it is not right to have both of them. He knows my situation and that I am not happy. Now, my current boyfriend is being all nice. He will do this for two months and then go back to being uncaring, unsentimental and accuse of me of ridiculous things. I am so lost. Is it worth it to try again and again or is it time to finally MOVE on?? Thanks!
just move on. i don`t think it`s worth it. you`re basically wasting your life on one guy that won`t even always act like your boyfriend.

Q: Okay Im 15/f and I weight about 192 pounds. Im about 5'6 r 7.I have lots of muscles I guess.
But I want to lose weight and quickly. Ever since I was 11 i was chubby. Its has just gotten worse in my opinion. I want to excercise but I have no motivation and I don't run becuase, Im afraid of what people might think seeing me run. What do I do I really need help and no one I know can help me!!
you should run anyways. if it bothers you that much, maybe you should consider buying a treadmill. just put it in your garage and run at night. let your want to lose weight be your motivation.

Q: i'd like people's opinions- do you believe that it's possible for two teenagers to fall in love? i'm 16/f and he's 17/m. this is our relationship in (very small) nutshell:

we talk about everything. we care about each other to the deepest, most loving extent possible. i don't see other guys [friends, random guys] in the same way i used to. neither of us would ever do anything to hurt the other [emotionally & physically, for that matter.] and anytime either of us even suspects something is wrong [which has only happened twice], we bring it up and talk through it. he makes me genuinely happy- the happiest i've ever been in my life. i'm constantly in a state of bliss when i'm with him, no matter what we're doing or what's going on. we've been dating a year and almost seven months. i can honestly see marrying him and spending the rest of my life with him. no words can describe how much i love him.

i'm sure i'm forgetting other things. but anyway- in love? or just a "teenage love"? [in your opinion. of course, my opinion is the former, haha.] thanks in advance (:
well, in my opinion, you got that young Love. it sounds like you guys are really meant to be. good luck with your relationship.

Q: okay so i hang out with a lot of guys. but i cant really help it. i just get along better with guys. girls start too much drama and i hate drama. so some girls at my school think im a whore and are startin rumors that im doin stuff with all the guys i hang out with and that im cheatin on my boyfriend. but thats so not true. these guys are like my brothers. i wouldn't do anything with them. and i would never cheat on my boyfriend! he means the world to me. and he understands that i have a lot of guy friends and he's okay with it. he knows i wouldn't do anything with any of them. but i dont want that kind of rumor about me to spread. i mean. everyone at school knows im not like that. and my boyfriend and all my friends were like dont worry about it, they are just jealous that all the guys talk to you and not them. but idk. what do you think?
haha. wowww. this is just like my life story. i wouldn`t worry about it. rumors are rumors, &if someone believes them, they`re stupid&honestly not worth your time. as long as your friends&boyfriend know its not true, you got nothing to worry about. show those drama starting bitches that they`re wrong&that they can`t break you down.

Q: ok well ive been friends with this guy for about 6 or 7 years maybe even longer and well ive had feelings for him since the 4th grade but i didnt say anything because i dont wanna ruin our relationship. But my feelings for him are getting stronger and idk what to do. I think there might be a chance that he likes me...He talks and messes around with me on the bus and on the way home from school when we are walking together he pushes me in the snow and other stuff, And when its rainy or really cold he will give me a ride home...
do you think he likes me?
should i ask him out or tell him how i feel??
just tell him how you feel. life is about taking chances, so take a chance. you never know what might happen.

Q: ok, well i have a friend who ive been bringing to the mall for a while now, and recently she has been hooking up with some guy there, and her parents deffinitly wouldnt approve of this. well, this girl's father has seen pictures of this boy, my friend, and i, and have found conversations this guy and my friend have had online together and she is pretty much figured out. from when she first started meeting up with this guy i wasnt to sure of it, and i didnt want to have any part of it, but she would guilt me and con me into taking her to the mall. well last night, she guilted me into taking her once again, and her father called my mom wondering where she was, cause she didnt even ask to go to the mall, she just left, and her dad didnt even know we got dropped off at the mall unsupervised, and he also said that he found out that she has been hooking up with a boy there (from the online convos), so my mom is questioning me if i am there with boys and i told her no, because 1.im not meeting up with anyone, its just her and 2.i wanted to be a good friend and cover it up so my friend who is meeting up with them wouldnt get in trouble. but now my parents are loosing trust in me and saying that i cant go anywhere unsuperised and im starting to hate my friend for dragging me into her problems, and im not sure if i should rat her out. im leaning towards telling my parents what shes been doing because shes been a horrible friend to me saying that she misses me and shell hang out with me at the mall and she goes and meets up with this kid instead. so, should i rat her out or not, and if i do, what should i say to my parents. sorry for this being so long and confusing, but it seriously is a long, and confusing story, so i really need to be able to straigten everything out to tell my parents.
you should do the right thing. tell your parents. its not your fault, and she shouldn`t be the reason that your life is ruined. plus, it sounds like she`s just using you, so theres no point in lying for her.

Q: i want a new screen name.
i was thinking about doing:

bang x bang
or
seyi x boom boom

i want an x in it and preferrably my name [seyi]

thanks
i`d suggest bangbang x seyi
i think it looks&sounds pretty nice.

Q: tonight im meeting my potential boyfriends parents!

i dont want to give them the wrong impression, but i dont want them to think im a prude or anything.

suggestions?
wear what you would normally wear, unless its slutty. just wear something normal. a cute t-shirt and some jeans. try to give them the impression that you`re innocent.

Q: i reciently started babysitting for a four year old girl who we'll call kim and and her 18 month old sister we'll call lynn. kim has this problem where if she doesn't get what she wants she gets really ugly. she truelly is a terror. she swears at her own family, expecially her grandma who is the nicest lady in the world. she is a total jerk to her sister and anyone who watches her or even her own family. I don't know what to do with her, we'll play games and she'll still get really angry. i need some advice on how to keep a crazy 4 year old child who can yell for hours on end accupied for a few hours while trying to care for her younger sister at the same time.
find out what she`s really interested in, something that will make her calm. for instance, this one little boy i use to babysit could sit and play video games for hours and he wouldn`t be as crazy as if he couldn`t play video games.
