If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.[9/2/08] [5/7/08] [16/7/08] [23/9/09] [28/5/10] [29/5/10] [3/6/10]

advice
I want to get my nose pierced. Not for anyone else but myself. I've done some research about it, and know about the process and affects of it and decided to approach my mom about it. She IMMEDIATELY dimissed my suggestion to get a nose piercing. She's totally ignorant of that subject and said unfair things. I'm not sure if she thinks it is trashy, but she had NO backup to her "no" answer other than..."what are people going to say in job interviews when you get oldeR? do you want a hole in your nose?" I explained that the small stud i wants leaves a very tiny hole and that it can be easily removed. She said i didn't know what i was talking about.
=/ ugh. I don't want to dye my hair or change anything like that, and i don't have any other piercings. This is the ONLY thing that i want, and know i would be able to take care of it.
What can i say to change her mind? My dad is fine with it.
If there are any adults on here...what do you think of a person who has a nose ring?
f/16
thanks
I normally don't recommend nose piercings if you don't have the time and effort for them. I've had mine done twice, looked after them perfectly, yet they still have their moments where it can take MONTHS to correct.
You're 16, so you know what you want. Usually, I'm giving advice to 12 year olds who want it as a fashion statement and don't know the troubles it can bring.
The worst one is the bump which can form around your stud/ring. This happens to most cartilage piercings. It's not a threat to the piercing itself and it doesn't mean you have to take it out, but you must be prepared to baby it in order for it to go.. which takes a very long time. and can still return.
I'm not trying to put you off, because you may be one of the lucky people it doesn't happen to :)
Basically, the first few weeks are crucial. If it's fine after that, you most probably wont have any future problems.
Firstly, tell your mum not to worry about the hole staying in your nose. If you want to take it out, it disappears within a few months.
Also, explain if you have any problems with it, YOU will take responsibility and you will take care of it perfectly.
I take it your mum doesn't want you to do something you might regret. Tell her this isn't the case and you've been thinking about it for a long, long, time now.
Try to make a compromise. If she lets you get your nose pierced, you will promise to do things around the house for example.
I was 17 when I got mine done and I didn't tell my mum. I came home with a ring through my nose. She was a bit shocked, but grew to like it.
I'm not saying to go behind your mums back, but maybe tell her you COULD just go and get it done. But you thought you'd ask her first. Reverse psychology could work :)
Also, try and get your dad to talk to her. After all, a nose piercing isn't the end of the world.
Show your mum these;

She may even grow to like it herself :)
Best of luck. and I hope she changes her mind for you!
how do you put eyeliner (preferably pencil black eyeliner) on the inner part of your top eye lid??
it's like inside your top eye lid.
won't it smear against your eye?? i'm confused!
please help!
if you can, please show pictures!
You don't actually put it on the inside part of your eyelid if you're going to put it on top. You do a line (however thick you want it to be) as close as you can to your eyelashes. It's quite tricky, so it may take a bit of practice.
Also, if you want the eyeliner to stay on for a while and won't be able to keep re-applying it, i don't recommend using pencil on top. It smudges very easily. Take a look at some of the liquid eyeliners. The applicator is like a pen, so it's easier to draw on a perfect line :)
when my boyfriend sucks my nipples it starts to hurt, is that normal?
You probably have sensitive nipples. Alot of people do. Ask him to tone it down a little bit if you don't like the pain :)
is it impossible to make out if both people have braces?
Yes, it's possible. It could be a bit tricky if you dont want them to clash together, but practice makes perfect!
Try not to get stuck to one another ;] Whether that's actually true or not, my guess is it's not very common!
can u put two condoms on for double protection>>>????lol
NO. It will higher the risk of pregnancy if you use 2 at a time!
Using one correctly will be all you need :)!
what do i do about my dog throwing up blood
Blood in vomit can be very serious. You need to take your dog to the vet ASAP. Don't delay.
I have my tounge pierced and I have to get surgery, where you have to take out all piercing and stuff like that. But everyone knows your tounge closes up pretty quick so how can i keep it open while I have my surgery?
Go to your piercing studio and ask for a tongue retainer. It's plastic and shouldn't affect surgery/x rays etc. Of course, check it's suitable first :)
how do you get jeans to shrink?
Hot washes and tumble drying may well work :)
how does it work? lots of people say it does work, but do you just chew it like normal gum, or do you have to press it up against you teeth?
thanks!!
You just chew it. If you had to do something other than that, I'm sure it would say on the pack. :)
Hi,what condom would be better for a 14-15 year old. lubercated or non lubercated?
what would be the advantages and disavantages of each?
None, because you'e underage ;]
but..
i hear lubricated is good ;] non lubricated condoms will be dry. and since condoms make sex drier anyway, it's best to go for the lube option.
I keep looking at the clock when its 9:11! its so weird. like AM or PM, like.. i dont usually look for the time that often but like its been a pattern for a lot of years.. even before like the 9/11 twin towers thing happened, and i was little. (13/f) well when i was old enough to tell time ofcourse. why do you suppose this happens? or is it just a freaky coincidence?
That ALWAYS happens to me. and it always seems to be 11:11 and 1:23
Pretty strange coincidences aren't they?
But yes, that's all it is! :)
im a girl and i need to kno where i can touch myself to make an orgasm occur! where can i touch myself.
asap!
ty in advance
Most females have clitoral orgasms - by rubbing the clit. Try it =]
ok this is reallyyy embarecing..i have like stretch marks on my breasts and thighs. is this normal? and will or when they go away? i hateee them sooo much.
It's normal.
Luckily, they fade over time and in the mean time, you can help them. I 100% recommend Bio Oil. You can get it from your local pharmacy and I suspect most stores will sell it. It reduces the appearance of stretch marks, scars etc DRAMATICALLY. I've used it on scars and I know people who have used it on stretchmarks.
It takes a while to kick in, perhaps a few weeks, but after that, I can guarantee you will notice a big difference.
If you can't find Bio Oil, cocoa butter has been known to help.
Also, vitamin E helps alot, whether it's tablet form or oil form which you rub into your skin.
I know most people with stretchmarks are self conscious about them, but they are so common. So don't let them ruin your self esteem :)
I accidently whacked my friend in the head with my badminton racket! There's like a redish spot-like bump on her forehead, kinda looks like blood is trying to explode out of her skin! Is it serious? Is it just a bruise? Will she be ok?
It's probably just swelling and bruising.
She may be a little concussed if it was quite a hard hit, too. If that's the case, a little trip to a doctor would be wise, just to be certain there's no further damage.
I wouldn't worry about it. I've had a bad concussion and been checked out. It took a while to feel 100% but I was fine.
It normally needs to be quite a big blow to the head to be something very serious.
Just look out for signs, like vomiting, fuzzy vision, lack of balance etc, If that happens it's time to seek medical help.
Try not to worry in the mean time, I have a feeling everything will be fine. and I hope you don't feel too guilty. Accidents happen!
Is it still weird that I play with Barbies? I'm 16 years old. But I just like to dress them and stuff...does any other girls my age still play with Barbies???? HELP!!
I don't think it's weird at all. Infact, I know many people your age and older with Barbies.
I know older ladies who collect Barbies.
If I didn't rip their heads off when I was little, i'd still love to have them now and I'm eighteen!
It doesn't mean you're babyish. You just like Barbies as most girls do :) Nothing wrong with that.
Ok.. So this guy wants me to go to his house after school.. should i go or not!
A little bit more info would be better, but basically;
Are you comfortable with this boy? Do you see him as a friend?
If you go, do you think it will be awkward?
Does he fancy you but you don't or you aren't entirely sure?
Are you worried if he makes a move, you will have to go through with it even though you may not want to?
They are good points to think about. Ask him what you'd be doing.
Only you can make up your own mind.
He might be inviting you over purely as friends - but there's also that chance he might be looking for something extra.
Just don't forget if you do go and it turns out to be doing something you don't want to, never be afraid to say no. :)
i know sperm dies when it touches air right? well what if my b/f masterbates and then goes to the restroom, and then comes back and fingers me? what will happen?
Why does everyone seem to think sperm dies when it touches air? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard!
BUT
If he goes to the restroom, I doubt there will be anything on his hands, as hopefully he would wash them. So the risk is very tiny :)
How long do you usually masterbate for? How do you know when to stop?
There's no set time :) Do as you please and stop when you think you've had enough.
My discharge is quite thick and it wobbles like jelly! It's sometimes slightly yellow and has a slight fishy smell to it..Sorry about those not so very nice details..But apart from that I don't think I have any other symptoms like itchiness or whatever..
I've heard many comments about discharge "wobbling like jelly" !
I think it's quite amusing :) but it's totally fine and normal for it to go like that.
Symptoms of thrush are the following;
itchiness, soreness/burning sensations, sometimes swelling may be involved and a yeasty smelling disharge.
So I don't think you have thrush.
It's normal for it to be slightly yellow, as when it hits air, it can turn a yellowish/browny colour.
The only slight thing which could cause concern is the fishy smell you describe. Could be alot of things ranging from nothing to bacterial vaginosis or even an STI if you are sexually active.
You said it was slight, so it could possibly be normal.
If you really are that wrried about it or it gets worse and you get more symptoms, it would be worth checking out to be on the safe side.
But to be prefectly honest, i think you are fine and normal.
If you'd like more help, drop one in the inbox! :)
hey.
i get really pissed off when i get a 4 or lower.
i get mad because i spend SO much time on each
question & try to answer it the best i can, but
some people are just mean! i dont feel as bad
when that person gave EVERYONE a 4 or 3,
but when other people got 5s with answers that
i think are worse than mine, i get really upset.
like, i know it's "just a website" but i really would
love to have a really high rating, like 4.95 or higher.
but i went through a chain of 5s & got up to 4.9 &
now i got ONE four & i went back down to 4.89!
do i have like, OCD or something? why am i
so obsessed with getting a 5? can someone
try to make me feel better? & i know i can get
into trouble for this - but i always give people a
5 even if their answer was TOTALLY not relevant
to my question! i just think, "omg but if I got a 4,
i would be soooo upset!" i know it's not fair or
anything but i just can't help it.
thanks in advv. :]
I DID have an extremely high rating until some idiots decided to rate me a 1 for 2 questions - because they were April fools jokes.
I mean, how low will people go to jeopardize ratings? It's selfish because alot of people on here actually do put alot of effort into answers, whereas the person asking could simply save everyone effort and Google it. *rolls eyes*
You don't have OCD. You're just annoyed people don't appreciate that your answers may infact be very good.
But a way to make yourself feel better is if you read about the ratings. Anything from a 3 above is good.
I understand you'd like to rate everyone who answered your question a 5, afterall, they did take the time to help out. if it's not that relevant, perhaps a 5 isn't for them. and you could say thanks alot etc but it wasn't that relevant to what you asked :)
Don't fret about ratings. Some people abuse them, some people don't.
It's one of the things that really annoys me about this site, but hey, it's not all about what scores we get ;]
