okay this is a little weird but my friend (who will remain anonymus!) have a real laughing problem. every time something funny happens, and everyone laughs, we laugh the hardest. whatever, right? but even 20 minutes after everyoine calmed down already, we're still laughing!we've gotten in so much trouble at school for this.we'll even talk about it for days. get this: when we're angry with each other, we have even TRIED to fight, but we throw 2 insults at each other and we both burst out laughing! all of our friends think we're psychos, and we agree... then we start laughing again. what the hell can we do about this problem?!?!?!?!

I don't think you should really do anything about it!!!

Laughing is great!! Proper belly laughs that hurt your ribs are the best!!

To stop yourselves getting into trouble at school though it may be worth sitting next to different people, just so that you don't laugh!

Laughter is infectious and the harder he/she laughs, the harder you'll laugh and vice-versa!!

Spend lesson time apart and lunches, breaks free periods together etc.... you'll have plenty of time to laugh and won't wind up in trouble.

Hope it helps!!

Hey
sorry this is kind of a wierd question and please dont delete i really need to lknow...like what is sexually harrasing(sp)? Liek what does a person have to do inorder for it to be sexually harassing (link)
The dictionary definition of Sexual Harassment is: (noun:) unwelcome sexual behavior by a supervisor toward an employee.

Although I personally don't believe that it just applies to employees and employers.

It is when another person makes you feel awkward or uncomfortable in a sexual manner.

Hope this helps


Ok everyone, I am a 16/f. I just found out Saturday that a friend of mine that I have known since middle school died. Then Sunday I found out my boyfriend is cheating on me and he is now denying it. Let alone Wednesday being the anniversary of my grampas death.
And I don't know what to do. Its so hard to hold on. I need some advice on what to do.
And on top ok everything my cousin who says shes my bestfriend is trashing my life. What do I do??
Please someone help me! (link)
For starters get rid of your cheating boyfriend. With all this other stuff going on you don't need him around. You are young and can do much better than a lowlife that doesn't respect you.
I am sorry to hear about your friend. It's really tough when someone close to you - especially someone young or someone really close to you. Go to the funeral (if it hasn't already happened) and pay your respects - I know it's hard but don't be sad your friend has died, celebrate his/her life, they wouldn't want you to be miserable, would they.
For your Grampas death, instead of taking flowers and putting them onto your Grampas grave to wilt and die and not be enjoyed by anyone one, take them to your local old peoples hospice and give them to someone who has no family and doesn't get visitors. Not only will it make you feel better but it will make the person that you are giving the gift of flowers to feel really good too - and it would make you Grampa really proud.
As for your cousin, sit down and talk to her, tell her that you are having a really hard time at the moment and you need her to quit doing what she is doing.
If you need anything else then you know where my inbox is.

Take care and just think - you may have hit rock bottom, but at least that means the only way is up!

Keep smilin!

why are love handles called love handles? explanation please! :) (link)
They are called love handles cos it give a guy something to grab on to whilst making love!!

Mel :o)


both of my ears only have one pericing, and i want to make alot of other peircings myself but im a little scared and i kinda, dont know how to do it. i want to do my cartiladge on the top and another hole by my first hole on the lobe. but i want to get an industrial (its like a bar that stars at your cartilage and ends somewhere on the bottom somewhere, im getting that professionay done if i have the guts) so i dont know if thats going to interfere with my peircings. i wanna do it myself but im not sure what teh steps are. does anyone know how/have experience? or are there any sites with pictures and explanations for me (someone who is realy slow). ive never done anything like this before and any info would be great! thanks! (link)
Here2HelpU is right! You hit the wrong nerve and you could be in serious trouble!!
Not only that but if you do it yourelf you run the risk of doing it wrong and could end up with wonky peircings - think how bad that would look.
To top it all of, if you do it youself then chances are it will get infected - green pus oozing from your ear is NOT a turn on!!
I'm all for piercing, I have several myself, all of which were done by a professional which is what I advise you to do - go see a professional!!

Mel


What do people think of a guy getting there ears pierced? IM not talking the lobe im talking the cartilage (link)
It looks good!
Just make sure you get it done professionally!!
You wouldn't look too hot if you ear went septic and dropped off!! ;o)

is it dangerous to shave your arms? everyone at my school does it.. & i feel like im the only one who doesnt.. PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPP! ASAP ! I RATE HIGH (link)
No it isn't dangerous but it isn't something I would reccommend as the hair will grow back thicker, coarser and darker and you will need to keep shaving it otherwise you will get "gorilla arms"
This is especially true if you have dark hair.
If it really bugs you that much and you think that you have loads of it then you could try bleaching it but I wouldn't shave it as it will never go back to the way it is now.

Hope this helps.

okay on wensday im getting my wisdom teeth pulled!! Im getting I think 4 pulled... im so scared too.. most of the people ive talked to says it hurts alot, which im sure it does, but Im more scared about waking up and like not know where I am or something because of all the medicine they are going to give me, etc.. if anyone has ever gotten their wisdom teeth pulled, comments on it would be great.. thanks =] (link)
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out last year (I'm 23 now! - old I know!)
I had a general anaesthetic so didn't feel a thing when it was being done!
It was a little uncomfortable when I woke up but if you take Advil Ibuprofen tablets which are an NSAID (Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drug it will reduce the swelling and stop the discomfort, although I have to admit they only really hurt for the first day.
Make sure you eat loads of soft foods, jelly, ice-cream, yoghurt etc etc
Swilling your mouth out with salt water as well this helps the wonds to heal and will prevent infection.
If your dental surgeon give you anti-biotics make sure you take them all and finish the course.
You will be fine and you will never have to experience the pain of a wisdom tooth abcess or toothache caused by your wisdom teeth!

Take care and let me know how it goes!



I have a long haired domestic black cat. I also have beige carpeting throuout my home. He leaves clipms of hair all over the house and not even vacuming seems to work in pickking it up. I am sick of spending hours on my hands and knees trying to get it off of the floor. Any suggestions?
(link)
Make sure you spend time each day grooming your cat. Not only will he/she love it but it will also get rid of any fur that is falling out and will keep his/her hair in really good condition.
As for getting the hair off of the floor, you can get these roller things that get cat hairs off of your clothes, you can get really large ones of these - just roll it across the floor and it will pick them up.

You can get them from Bettaware in the Uk, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to get them where you are.

Hope this helps!

ok well everytime i shave my lower part afterwards it always itches and gets red. is this normal and what do i do so it doesn't do that anymore??? (link)
It could be one of 2 things - Razorburn or regrowth rash. Both of which can drive you mad and both of which are normal!!

If it happens within an hour or so of shaving then it is definitely razorburn!

To minimize getting razorburn you should ALWAYS use a new razor each time, use a aloe vera based shaving oil instead of cream or foam as this coats the skin better and is really soothing also make sure that you always shave in the direction the hair is coming out of otherwise you will get Regrowth rash too which is where the hair cannot get out of the skin and the follicle becomes infected (not pretty!!)

It sounds like you have an awful lot of trouble shaving so why not try waxing - it only hurts for a secon and lasts for much much longer!

Hope this helps!


i finally got rid of my acne problem but now its like i have small not even like touchable bumbs and it looks like i still have acne what can i do about this? (link)
Just make sure you cleanse your face properly.
In the uk we have these wipes by Quinoderm which is non-comedogenic (won't clog your pores and make matters worse) that really help.
Try using a powder foundation, creams tend to clog pores and may cause spots.
It the long term these lumps will go with time - they are just an effect of acne.
Leave them alone as much as you can don't squeeze them or stick things in them - as tempting as it may be this will only make them stay for longer.

Hope this helps

hi and happy valentines day. okay now to my question, its kind of weird but it seems like alot of things make me laugh, but i dont actually..laugh. like the only thing that made me go HAHA was yesterday when i saw a penguin smack another penguin into ice and that was hardly real laugh. the most il do is a "hmph", or a "heh" if you know what i mean? i want to laugh, and i feel it coming, but i just cant get a full hearty laugh!! and also if i try to laugh at something funny, i'll just make the little sound thing when youre out of breath and you still want to laugh and you sound like your having little qiest hiccups or your choking on something, right? okay this questions weird and confusing, as am i.so basically i cant get a real laugh when i want to and when somethings funny to me. someone help?! (link)
I don't think you can really change your laugh! I don't think it really matters as longs as whatever you are laughing at makes you laugh in your head it doesn't matter what noise comes out of your mouth!


ive been back and forth with my mom and dad. I seem to only cause problems. im 13 and im tired of hurting people in dec i tried to commit suicide by cutting 3 of my veins and i jumped off a 3 story building i hate putting people through misery so my next idea is to run away, but are there any other options, and i have tried talking i just did but its not workin so pleaze dont say talk to your mom cuz it aint happinin and no rude comments either (link)
Please don't run away. It's a big scary world out there and you won't have anyone to turn to if you do.
It's dangerous! There are all sorts of weirdo's out there that prey of vunerable young girls like yourself.
Try writing a diary everyday - sometimes ithelps just to write it down and get it all out of your system.
You could try talking to one of your closest friends or a school counsellor etc etc.
They may be able to help you sort out the feelings that you are experiencing.

I really hope things get better for you and if you need someone to talk to inbox me.

Take care

Mel

I was at my friend's house the other day and we decided to make him pass out. Then i wanted to try it just to see how it felt. So i hyper-venalated myself, held my breath, and let him pick me up with my arms crossed at my chest. Before i knew it i woke up and was on the floor. Everyone was staring at me and i didn't remember anything but it was really cool. I did it about 12 more times. Is there a health risk when you do this? Can it cause serious damage to your brain or anything?? (link)
Yes this is really dangerous!
It kills off your brain cells!


I'm in a relationship at the moment, and im really happy. Yet at the same time i kinda wish i wasnt. It's not like i dont like him or anything it's just I'm only 14 and i dont really feel like i need a bf. I was just wondering what do YOU think is the rite time to start dateing, and why. ane Please help me decided what to do. Thanks. (link)
It depends on how you feel.
There is no right or wrong time. It doesn't say anywhere "You must start dating at 14" or "you must not date until you are 16"
If you feel ready and the guy you like feels ready then go for it.

Have fun!

I'm a 15/f and I me and my family are thinking of going on a cruise this summer. None of us have ever been on a cruise. I get sea sick pretty easily, but I heard that on a cruise since the ship is so large, you don't get sea sick. Is this true? Also, what was your experience like on a cuise and which cruise line did you take? Lastly, we are debating about where to go on the cruise (it's between Alaska and the Caribbean)... have any of you been on one/ both of these cruises, which one did you like more... or what was your experience with one of them. Also, are there more teenagers on one or the other. Thanks so much!!! I rate 5's for serious answers! (link)
CARIBBEAN CARIBBEAN CARIBBEAN!! You lucky thing!
I went on a Caribbean cruise for my 18th birthday and it was fantastic!
Like you I get sick when I travel (especially trains!!) but you are right in what you say. The cruise ships are so big you really do not know that you are moving.
Another thing I would advise is going at the height of summer. Not only will you get a better tan (make sure you take plenty of sunscreen!) but the oceans will be very calm and you are extremley unlikely to run into a storem.

Go on the caribbean one and have a great time!!

The other night i was over my friend's house and the boys that were there left 2 cans of chew there. I know this is gross but we deicded to try it. At first it was only a little bit of peach stuff that we kept in for 30 mins, then right after we took that out we put in a big thing of mint in for 30 mins, then peach, and then mint again and i got real dizzy and like we passed out on the ground. Is chewing a couple times that day going to have any effect on us in the long-run or anything like that? (link)
Long-term you will be fine, just don't do it again.

It's really bad for your health and makes your breath smell like a tramps armpit!


When I'm turning and acclerating I hear this clunk sound from the engine and the rpm's drop(low) and it takes me forever to get into second gear. After second my car acts normal. This only happens on wet/snowy roads. What's the problem? (link)
I really haven't much mechanical experience, but when my car makes bizarre noises the first thing I do is take it to the garage!

Good Luck!
