I am so glad to be here! I'm open to any questions that anyone wants to ask, but I will say that my specialties lie in the artistic and musical areas. My answers will always be carefully researched and thought out. Thanks for asking me a question- I'll get back to you very soon!

Ok soo I like to swim, and when I do, I tend to go underwater a lot. I have blue eyes, that are sensitive to the chlorine though, so after a while, my eyes become very red. What can I do to prevent this, besides not going underwater as much? I put some Visine in after and stuff but it takes a while for the red to go away. Is there anything better? Thankss. :] (link)
I have the same problem. Just try not to get chlorine in your eyes. This would mean that you should wear goggles or close your eyes when you are underwater. Hope I helped!


I am going to the beach and I was wondering what some cute but quick hairstyls would be can anyone help? (link)
You can braid your hair. If it's like a beach party, you will get wet. Then when it dries, you can take your hair out and it will be wavy. Hope I helped!


Well, here's the thing. I know that I want to become some sort of psychologist/therapist for a career, I just don't know what specifically. This is what I want to do:
1. I want to help children/teens
2. 1 on 1 counceling and group therapy
3. I wan't to have my own practice
4. I wan't to help kids with their problems- not just study them

Do any of you know what field I need to go into specifically?

I would really appreciate the advice

That sounds like a school councilor, but you wouldn't have your own practice. I know of a few child psycologists. Hope that helps a little.


what does it mean when someone says they're head over heels for you? and how did they come up with it. it's okay if you can only answer one of the questions. thanks. (i had no idea what category to put this in sorry) (link)
Think about it. If you fall down and are out of control, like rolling down a hill and you can't stop, then your head is going over your heels over and over. So Head over heels means that someone is really in love and they can't control it. Hope I helped!


well i'm being told that just doing a bunch of ab exercises will not eliminate the extra fat i have on my lower stomach. i'm being told that i have to do some kind of cardio too, like running. i've always wanted to start running in the mornings or in the evening (like 7:00), but i'm too embarrassed to. i'm 14/f and the only people that run in my neighborhood are adults. i think it is really embarrassing to be the only teen running. and when i do go running i feel really unconfortable doing it. are there any other cardio workouts i can do inside? i really want a treadmill but my mom wont get one. i also have DDR, but it really hurts my feet and i get bored doing it after like 10 minutes so that isn't helping.

thanks! (link)
Go ahead and run! Adults will be impressed that you took it up so young. You don't even have to do it alone. You can talk to someone and you can be runnung buddies . Hope I helped!


whats a clit im so confused (link)
If you want to know, go to:

Hope I helped!


ok..
so im only 16.. im about 5'7".. 140 lbs
and my breasts are already an overflowing size of 36D.
im pretty sure that they arent gonna grow anymore.. but i love looking at cute bathing suits.. and it SUCKS that i cant even find any that are the right fit for my bust! Guys always stare and it makes me self coonscience.. because i am always thinking that guys are only talking to me.. and think im pretty because of them...also.. girls think that theyre jealous.. but they really arent.. because i dont see how you could want boobs THIS big.!
Any comments?! (link)
They are jealous because they think you are getting more attention from the guys. If it bothers you that they think that, tell them how you feel. Tell those guys how you feel too. As for your problem, Don't let it get you down. Everyone's body is different, so just go with what you were given and be you. I'm sure that you are more worried about it than other people. Hope I helped!


Well, I got a message saying that I need to call this woman to set up an interview for McDonald's. I was hoping you guys could tell me the kinds of questions they ask in interviews like that, and any other helpful tips. Thank you. (link)
I would assume this is your first job. In any interview, they will ask you what kind of job experience you have. They will also ask questions about yourself to see if you can work with people and what kind of things you enjoy doing. To make a good impression, You should make eye contact and smile when you meet your interviewer. Give them a firm handshake, but not something that crushes their hand. Hope I helped!


I am the oldest chid in my family. I have 2 little annoying brothers they annyoy me so much i always scream and lock my self in my room. I really need a sister but my mum says no more kids

Help me i feel so lonley at home (link)
Usually when your brothers bug you to no end, (believe me, I know) they want some attention. So play with them, and the bugging won't be as bad for a while. Either that, or you'll see that they are trying to play with you. HHope I helped!


I've seriously gone crazy worrying about my brittle split end/thick hair and I need some advice on what to do from anyone willing to throw in their 10 cents on the matter. Here's my story:

1 Year ago I bought an electric trimmer that I was planning on using for certain parts of my body, not my head until I made a huge mistake by deciding that I wanted to try and shave the hair off my head by using it. So foolishly I did, not to the point that it was all off but their was minimal hair left on my head, I wasn't bald. So anyways what grew in was this brittle week hair that sticks up in weird places all over, can't hold any styles, and is overall HORRIBLE. I've had haircuts, tried using protein shampoo's and conditioners but I think my hair may all be split ends because it's really out of control to the point I almost want to shave it all off.

So I guess my question is, am I screwed for life? This has really been the thorn in my brain for some time now and not ever being able to grow my hair long because it comes out so thick/brittle/ and unruly is really bothering me. I swear I'd do anything to have healthy hair again.

All I can say is that maybe you SHOULD cut it all off. I've heard of people losing all their hair (Haircut or chemo) and then it grew back differently than before, So maybe you will have to cut it that short again and see what happens. Or maybe you just need to cut past the split ends. Hope I helped!


im 14 and i used to cut not that long ago. i have stopped but i have random urges to start cutting again. im not sure what is causing this. i think it may be because im gonna be going to high school and im nervous. please try to help me. (link)
I don't know what cutting is like and why people do it. I'm glad that you have seen that it only injures your body. If you are nervous about high school, just think about alll those other people who are nervous about it. It's not so bad, just another step in your life. You can quote me on that. If you talk to people, you can meet a lot of new friends. Then high school on't seem so bad. Hope I helped!


What would you do to feel better about your body? (link)
Do physical activities that you enjoy and tell yourself, "My body is beautiful and strong" The whole time, even if you trip up or choke. Let it be strong. You will feel better. Hope I helped!


hey everyone. i asked a question awhile ago about my best friend who's dad had lung cancer. well his dad died. and im just wondering like what are appropriate things to say. not just "i'll be there for you" can someone actually help me with what to say? also me and my friends want to do something for him. big or small no matter what it is. does anyone anyone anyone have any suggestions? im begging you, because this kid is so devastated. thank you. (link)
There's no easy way out of this. Your friend is hurt and only time will heal his heart. Help him realise that whether or not he believes in heaven, his Dad has no more pain. Tell him that everyone loves him. He won't be able to get over his grief until he decides to, so don't rush him. but encourage him to get out and do things he enjoys. Set up a date for a surprise and don't let him talk his way out of having fun! (LOL) Hope I helped.


Ok. For around two weeks EVERY night I've been having bad dreams. And it sucks.
It'll either be a new dream, a dream I've had before, or a combination of a couple dreams.
I've had this one for 3 nights in a row, seriously. I walk into a room, and look in this mirror. And there is this half-dead ten-ish year old girl with a bloody KNIFE standing behind me. But when I look behind me she's not there, she's only in the mirror. Then there is this other one where I get put into a coffin and I'm buried alive.

So...
Would there be a reason that this is happening ??
What can I do ? I HATE it.... (link)
No more horror movies for you. I had this problem and I asked my friend for advice. She says that when a dream gets scary, she shuts her eyes as tight as she can then opens them. Then she's awake. Sometimes I sing a song in my head before I sleep. Or you can pray that you won't get scared. Sometimes if it's too hot in your room, it can cause nightmares. Ask yourself, 'Why am I scared of these things? They are dreams. What effect can they have on me in the real world?' Hope I helped.


Hi, I JUST bought some old fashioned curlers. (The kind you're supposed to sleep on) I have no idea how to put them in, how long to keep them in, if my hairs wet/dry, etc. Can someone basically tell me how to do all that? I just want my hair to look slighty curly, mainly wavy. I got medium sized rollers, so that should be my result. I also have a curling iron, so if the curlers don't work right, do you suggest going over my hair with the iron? I have hairspray as well, so if anyone could tell me what part of the whole process I use that, I'd love youuu. Haha, thanks so much! (link)
If they are the kind I think they are, You need your hair to be a little damp before you put them in. You roll the hair up in the curlers and buckle the elastic or clip orv whatever on the other sode so that your hair will be trapped until you let it loose. In the morning, you can just unsnap the curlers and use a pick to loosen and untangle. Hope I helped!


Christians do not believe in having sex before marriage, so does that include no full on kissing? (link)
I think that a kiss should only be given to a very special someone as a token of affection. Be careful about it because kissing can be very stimulating, if you know what I mean. Hope I helped.


Are smoothies with strawberries and bananas and milk bad for you? I heard they were, but I dont get how they would be. (link)
I think that that is a very nutritious snack. Milk has calcium. Strawberries have vitamin c, pootassium, diatary fiber, and magnese, among other things. Bananas are rich in vitamin B6. Without it in a person's diet, they are prone to weakness, irritability and insomnia. So drink up!
Hope I helped.


i'm not fat and i'm not thin but i want to be thin; i want to eat healthier i just can't and no one thinks i need to lose weight but like i weigh 145 and i'm 5'8" and 15. to me thats over weight; i hate wearin bathing suits; and i'm slowly havein eatin problems; sometimes i dont eat at all and starve; can someone please help?!!! (link)
The media sets up goals for people that are totally unrealistic. Thin is not cool- healthy is beautiful. Would you consider yourself healthy? A personal trainer once told me that starving yourself attacks muscle first, not fat, so that won't do you any good. I know eating healthy is hard, but that's just what it takes. You don't have to go cold turkey, just try snacking on fruit or drinking water when you're hungry. You may also have a thick frame. try grabbing a wrist with one hand. If your fingers touch, you have a thin frame. If they don't, you have a thick frame. If you have a thick frame, you are not made to be thin. In any case, bone- skinny is not healthy. You know those models that are all so thin? It's taking a serious toll on their health. Aim for healthy, not skinny. Hope I helped.


hi, is it normal to feel suicidal if you family are arguing, not just regular rows, but like, heavy, hitting, swearing, etc....? this is getting to be real bad between my sister and mom. and i cant do anything. i hate it! it starts over something small, and turns huge. my sister usually starts it, but my mom doesnt help either. so is it normal for me to feel suicidal, and usually thinking about it? (link)
It is not normal to feel suicidal, ever. It obvoiusly isn't a good thing that your mother and sister are fighting, either. There is a power struggle that goes on between two women in the same house. But it sounds like this is getting out of hand. There are always kind people around you who are willing to help you. You are worth it. I hope you can find someone to help you and your family.


Which do you prefer, iPod or MP3 Players? (link)
Ipod is better, but too expensive. And most mp3 players come with stuff that you have to buy for the ipod, like radio.
