I love True Religon jeans, very cute! So I choose number three, your top sounds cute too =)

Q: gah, your layout is ADORABLE. how did you get it?
♥

Thank you. I did on my own, it's not that hard if you know basic HTML.

In order for you to change it up a lot, you'll need to have a paid account. http://www.advicenators.com/paidaccounts.php

But if you dont want to pay $10, just go to this website and try to add things under your "Profile Settings". You know where you talk about yourself.

Q: I was wondering if over time scars naturally start to fade and what are some cheap things i can buy to make a scar fade????

I have a scar on the top of my wrist and i want it to go away

Scars do fade over time, but thats takes years and years. So I'd go to your local store like CVS or Target and look under medications...find stuff that makes scars look less visible.

A product I know of is called Scar Solution, it works great.

Also, I use my concealer (for makeup) that works pretty good too =D

Q: ok so my friend likes this boy a he likes her, then he stood my friend up and now she doesnt like him but he still likes her. then my other friend liked him too, and my other friend that got stood up knows and shes ok with that.so we went to a bat mitzvah and my friend that likes him was trying to dance with him but he kept avoiding her (but he didnt really know that she liked him) and she got all upset. but now i sorta still want to be his friend, but i feel bad cause he was rude to 2 of my friends. what do i do ???

ps. i think i like him more than a friend, still figuring that out

Well if he stood up two of your friends, I dont think you should go for him as more than a friend. He seems like a jerk...but if your just friends with him...nothing will happen...but I think this guy is a heart breaker! Plus I think your friends will be mad at you too.

Q: hi i have a boyfriend named and we were talkin for a while then he asked me out on monday.. we like each other alot and things were going really good. but he has this girl who liked him since 9th grade they are friends though i dont care that there friends but she doesnt like me ever since we started goin out. but she doesnt know me or anything about me. i dont like drama i dont involve myself with it. so shes hating on me and him. i really like him and i want to contiue being wit him but this girl is jus gonna keep starting trouble with me. my sister told me to tell him that if he cant tell the girl to not disrespect me then to break up wit him.
wat should i do

signed: boyfriend troubles

Have your boyfriend talk to her. If she doesn't stop hating on both of you, then he shoulden't talk to her either. But first have him be like "Hey I'm with her now, not you..so leave us alone or I wont talk to you again -- ever". This way she knows if she keeps doing things to make you mad...she'll lose him as a friend...so unless shes stupid, she wont do it again.

If she keeps bothering you guys, then dont talk to her at all. Both of you.

&& If your boyfriend isint willing to give her up as a friend(after the fact that you warned her and she is still not stopping) then maybe
you should re-evaluate your relationship with him!

Q: I`m just in a music mood. Know any good songs or bands or artists for me to give a try? Thanks a bunch. :)

Q: I'm just curious to know if anyone has or knows someone who has a foot fetish? My boyfriend has one, and I dont have any problem at all with it (i actually happen to like it..go figure!), I'm just curious to know about other people's experiences.

Most people think feet are gross.. But I know a person who loves feet so much shes getting a tatoo of two feet somewhere on her body. Thats foot fetish for sure. She's always like "Feet are beautiful...". It all depends on who you ask, personally....I dont think its gross unless they look horrible and they have green-colored toenails. =)

Q: when you do crunchs or situps with your legs straight up does it do more to your stomach then it does when your legs are bent? thansk.

Yes it does because you have to work harder to get your stomach to do the crunch, which means better results. It only works if you keep your legs straight the whole time...if you cant do it (usually it hurts) just do it the normal way. =)

Q: A Few times now, I have received emails with the subject saying "A Friend Has Recomended You", and they are sent by 'Customer Service'. The first time I got one, I opened the email to find a link, but with no explanation to where the link was for. I have no clue where this could be coming from, and I dont trust it(viruses, hackers,ect).
I should Also mention that it has the red exclamation point, which means 'of high importance' on it.
Does anyone know where this email comes from or what it is, and is it safe?

It's probably spam or it could be a virus. But if you open up the email, nothing will happen...you usually have to click a link in the email that will send you to the virus/spam whatever. You can open the email but just dont click anything..you should be fine.

If it asks you to download an attachment and it ends in .zip or .exe or anything that you havent heard of...dont download it. But dont download it anyway if its not from someone you know.

Q: I'm 20 years old,quite old enough for living alone,but i've got a big problem.My parents and especially my dad doesn't allow me to move to and began my new independent life.I feel like i'm in prison here.could anyone advise me what to do?

Your over 18, they cant make you stay there...it's illegal. If you want to move out, then do it. It's great that your realizing its time to live on your own. This is the only way to learn how the real world is...good luck with everything!

Q: My b/f got me a promise ring ( a ring that promises you will marry them) well anyways we got in this fight and we broke up well I gave back the ring and now he is going out with this new girl named kerisa well today i was talking to her and she was wearing the ring and she started showing it off to me what should i do?

You can do two things. 1)Dont do anything, your not going out with him anymore. 2) You could tell her that he gave you the same exact ring, but I think that'll just cause a whole lot of drama. Do what you want =)

Q: a guy, a girl

Q: how do you get backstage passes to a concert? i really want to meet the band and stuff, but theres quite popular...i met them once at a signing, but we couldnt take pictures with them..
ill rate a 5 to everyone who attempts to answer

Everyone else is right, the only way to get backstage passes is to get them through winning a contest from your local radio station or knowing someone who has connections through the band or where the event will be held at.

There are only a limited number of backstage passes and the bands/music people pass them onto local radio stations to distribute them...so try to listen to radio stations and see if their giving them away.

Good luck.

Q: Okay im 14/f and im about to graduate 8th grade.... well this year has been very stressful for me and i mean latly everyhting has been catching up with me and i think im begeninng to feel the early signs of depression.... i think i need to go to a counsiler.... but i dont know i mean how do i ask my parents to go to a consiler without them freaking out

If you dont want your parents finding out or freaking out, you can always go to your school counselor and talk to him/her. Everything you share with your school counselors is private, and they dont have to tell anyone if you dont want to. Just talk your school office and set up an appointment with one of the counselors. Then go and spill your guts out. Hopefully it will help with your depression.

If you need someone to talk to, I'm here too!

Q: I turned vegetarian a couple of weeks ago. Just today I woke up with a really high fever, and I feel like i'm going to throw up.
Is my body going into shock or something?
Or is it just a normal flu/cold or whatever..?

Oh yeah; and im 14/f[:

No your body isint going into shock, vegetarians live just perfectly normal. They wont get sick from not eating meat. It could just be a cold, make sure you drink lots of fluids and Vitamin C so it doesn't get too bad. =)

Q: okay i noticed that i was bleeding when i came home from practice tues & today. i don't get my period until later, but it wasn't "spotting" either. i'm not sure if it's from over-exercising er if something's wrong. my period isn't irregular but i have two workouts, weightlifting & basketball in a row. any idea what it is??

thanks!!

Periods are can be irregular until you become an adult. And since your working out a lot, your period might come faster. Don't worry about it, it's normal! =)
