I was wondering where you can get free cedar point tickets. (In Sandusky, OH.) My friend have been wanting to go for a while, but don't have enough money for the tickets. Sometimes I hear about people getting them for free through work, and other things. Where do people work where they give them free tickets? Does anyone know of any deals where you get free cedar point tickets? Thanks.

I Agree Gaint Eagle will sometimes have a thing where you get 10-15$ off. My mom got like ours for about 10$ from her work before. She use to work at Nove Chemicals. Also the other day froggy had a thing going on for 4 free cedar point Tickets. try listening to that all day on day.

Cedar Point is real fun!.. Hope I Helped

hi, well my freind has been having family problems, and today he told me that he prayed a lot to god, to sort it out and what not, and when he got home, he told me that they were sorting it out, and it was getting better. is this the work of "the allmighty" or just a quencidence, because im not fully persuaded? what do you guys think? thanks

I strongly believe in God. & I think that if your friend is a really good person and doesnt need to have family problem like that then I think God had some work in that. Hope I helped

Probably within the next week I am getting a haircut. I don't want to do anything drastic and I love having long hair but my ends are all split and dead so I need a trim. I think I might go a little further with the haircut than a trim this time but I never know what would flatter me. People say it depends on your face shape, but I can't figure out what shape my face is!! I am posting a link to a picture of me and hopefully someone can tell me the shape of my face which could help to tell which hairstyle would look good.
My hair is pretty thick and naturally wavy and it gets kind of frizzy but I usually blow dry it or straighten it at least partially, just to cut down on the puffiness/frizz. If I don't, I wear it up in a ponytail. I have layers now but I was thinking of growing them out because I don't think it looks good on long hair. I think the most I want to cut off is 2 inches. I know that is like nothing but I get really sad if I cut off a lot haha.

Sorry for the weird face haha

One. You are very pretty and have great hair.
Two. To me I think you have a face like Lindey Lohan. So try getting a hair cut like hers. Here are some pictures..

When your coach puts you last in the order what does it say about you? like does it mean your fast, good hitter, good bunter, etc. someone said its just like another lead off batter. Can someone tell me some stuff about it? thankss.

do side bangs work better when they are long or short? i have side bangs, and they're getting a bit long, but i dont know if i should cut them. usually i cut them, but kind of in the middle of long and short.

also, how can i make them stay to one side? i've tried the whole clipping them to the side for a while to "train" them to stay over, but it doesnt work. ive had them for a longggggg time, and towards the middle of the day, half of them start drifting over to the other side, and i hateee it. i've tried hairspray, but i cant find a happy medium between making them stay and having them rock hard and not being able to move.

thanks!

Maybe you have a calike(spelling) and its probably in the middle. With hairspray dont spray the bangs but where its parted. And they work/look better when their about to your eyebrows or a little bit longer. Hope I helped

14/f
I'm a little nervous about what people say about high school. People say that high school is really a scary thing and that the older kids always pick on you. One of my older friends got molested at a high school party. (Problem Solved) Kids are always talking about the populars. I never had any problem with it in Middle Scool. And I really don't know what to expect ? Can anyone share expieriences and tell me the honest good and bad of high school ?

Mine freshman year wasnt bad at all. My sister was a senior and I knew everyone. My sister was very well liked by most. The Good for me was i knew a lot of people and I didnt have any trouble at all. But the bad was I was known as Steph's Little sister, And I couldnt date the older guys bc of my sister. Mine wasnt bad at all. So if you know a older well liked person then try to hang out with them. Hope I helped

This made me cry sooooooooo hard ok here is the story. We were at my colleage and in the girls bathroom every one just walks around naked and we dont care and some girls have like huge boobs but anyways the mean girls at our school were being flirty to the boys and the boys had a crazy and mean and pretty much illgal plan. They were going to put a camera in the girls bathroom. and the worst part is all of the boys caught me naked ok this is going to be a long story. theboys were going to hide in the showers because it was lateand time for us to goback to our doorms and anyways there is a time limit to take showers so anyways when we werent there all of the guys hid in the showers and the othere two guys were hooking up the camera and it was a really tiny camera so none of us can see it so anyways....all i had was my robe on and nothing else i told my freind after i take my shower i will meet you back at the dorm.and she said ok cya.so now no one was there and i took off my robe and opened the shower curtain and there he was..i screamed my head off and ran out the door nto the hall where all the dorms are and i wasnt even coverd up with my robe i left it n the bathroom and then when i ran out all the other boys came running out into the hall.and i was so shocked i didnt even run or cover myself with my hands and the boys laughed at me and after they laughed at me i waited five seconds while they were just staring at my vagina and my boobs i ran into the bathroom and the boy was still there and he was try to touch my vagina and boobs so i kikked him out. it was the worst day of mylife.after that i called my boy freind.and he was helpfull.the next day i went over to there rental house and started to tell them off and they said they were sorry and they sort of chuckled and then they left to the school. Then i saw something on the table and it was a recorded video tape of last night and even more. They had a video tape of all of us naked on there and they were after all just hazing. i was so angry i didnt even pick up the tape and the tape was really high teck so it told you how many time you watched it and at the end of the day so i went there when they had just left there dorm lughing and then i saw that the tape was watched 12 times!!i didnt take it the second time i was so upset and the next morning it was on the morning news!!!so the whole entire school saw it even the teachers the boy teachers so i was the laughing stock of the century and i never got that tape back i need a way to setle this its ongoing!!Have any advice?

Hunny, Go to the school about this. They are not allowed to do this to the girls. Really, go to the school its the only way you will feel better. They might do it again, but if you go and tel soemone they wont!...

Hi, everyone :)
Ok, so I've just been wondering about this, since cheering has started again..
I don't like my body. I know most people don't. I'm 14, 4'11', and last I checked, 100 pounds (possibly lower or higher, my scale is crap, and I usually add weight to it). I don't like my stomach, despite all of the curlups I do. You can see the lines for abs, but then you see the little 'muffin top' thing I have. Basically the bottom section of my stomach hangs over shorts/ect. It REALLY bothers me. I've gotten used to sucking in, and I look alright like that, but eh.. I just don't like how I look. And then my stomach like, folds when I sit. It's disgusting. I feel really self concious of it, and I don't know if it's normal or not, but that's not my problem, really..
My mom just got me this new swim suit. I'm used to wearing this trunk-like bakini, but the one my mom got is like a real one, and it shows alot. I feel really weird in it.. I've been trying to diet. I've been fairly good about the snacks.
Well, here I'll write about my exercise/diet habits, and see what you guys have to say about how much weight I can lose/how I'll look, eventually..

Diet:
Ever since I've tried to start losing weight, I've been alright about eating. I haven't had an appetite, lately, so I haven't eaten much for the past couple of days. But usually, I eat two meals (it's hard for me to get the 5-6 meal thing in..) And I eat pretty well at meals. And then I have a few snacks during the day. I've been very careful about not having really fatty snacks. I don't cave into ice cream/that kinda stuff anymore, and I'm totally proud of myself.
I usually don't eat beef/steak.. I'd like to be a vegetarian, but mom wont let me, so I don't know if that counts for anything. Some of the meals I eat are fairly fatty, though..
(That will all be messed up for the next week, though.. I'm going to the beach on saturday, so..)

Exercise:
Exercise habits.. not so good. Haha. Well, cheerleading just started, and we have to go running at six in the morning. We run two-three miles every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. At running, we also do 60 pushups and only 150 curlups. Then, I have gymnastics on Tuesdays. I work on running and standing moves. Other than that, though, I've been pretty lazy with exercising.


So, is that enough to help lose weight? Or maybe tone my body?

Hopefully this picture can help you guys figure stuff out, and hopefully you guys can help out! I'm sorry this has been so long, btw. :(

High ratings for good help :)

Well Im for sure no work out type of person. But i was told that doing crunches and all pushes the fat inside down to the lower part of your abs. I have the same thing. And I was told that if you get an exercising ball and do crunches on that it will help the lower part. Bc you are bending your back more and using all your abs to get back up. But in a normal crunch your only using the top. I just started trying doing this and while doing it the lower ab was hurting, so I think it works. Sorry this doesnt really help. But I hope it does

how can i get over my fear of big open spaces? im terrified of them unless im holding onto someone

Maybe go see a doctor. Or just go out to a field or something, and just sit there, and take big breathes. Do this daily, and maybe, hopefully, youll get over it. But make sure you take a cell phone with you, incase you get really scared and start to freak out, or make sure a friend is a yell away, not to close, but kinda far.. Hope I helped

ok all of my friends that are girls (they're not lesbians) think im really pretty and i believe them because they never lie to me and they're amazing friends and always tell me the truth even if it hurts me because i'd rather know the truth. also when i go places guys are always staring at me and giving me the "your hott" look and sometimes i over hear them talking to their friends saying "wow shes really hott". whenever i like someone though, they never like me back. and i've never had a boyfriend. when i tell people this they don't believe me. they say im so much fun to be around. whats wrong with me?

15/f. ugh please help =/

It might be that your too pretty.. And some guys think "shes way to pretty for me." Or he might be scared b/c when hes dating you, and you are so pretty, that you will leave him for another hott guy. Get it? I'm not saying get ugly, but try making the first move on the guy, and ask him to hang out with you. Maybe then that will get something started. Hope I helped

I know this is a really weird thing to ask, but I lost the case to my Sims 2 University expansion pack. I have a new computer, and it's not installed onto this computer, and since I don't have the code on the back of the case, even though I have the CD's I can't install it. Can anyone PLEASE give me the code on their copy of Sims University? I've done this before with my friends codes to different expansion packs, but she doesn't have University.

Can anyone please help?

if you message me on aol i could help you then..

sorry i wasnt on at the time you messaged me, but i will be on tomorrow... sorry again..

Well, I'm starting high school for the first time this August, and no, I'm not going to be in ninth grade; I will be a junior. (I was homeschool through middle school and my first two years of high school.) This will all be sooo new to me, and needless to say, I AM FREAKED OUT!!!

First of all, because everyone in my grade has known each other for at least two years, they will all have friends, and the first day of school will probably consist of everyone saying hello to their friends that they hadn't seen for the whole summer. I am scared that I will have a hard time making friends because everyone else already knows each other pretty well.

I don't want to start out school as a loner, because, well, nobody wants to be friends with a loner.

And to make matters worse, there will be this random single day where we will have yearbook pictures, and then the official first day of school will be a few weeks later.

How do I make friends? I don't have a goal to be popular, but it would be nice to have a few friends, especially during the first few weeks of school where life would be the hardest because its such a new environment for me. I'm a little shy so it would be hard (and wierd) for me to just come up to random groups of people and introduce myself. I could never do that. What I prefer is to have people approach me. That would make life perfect =)

Oh, and just a quick important note. One, is that high schoolers always kind of intimidate me. Like they always look so bitchy and mean, and like they will judge you. (I know it's not true, it just seems like it). And second, I'm not some de-socialized, religious, nerdy homeschooler, so I'm not (that) wierd. I'm super nice, mostly quiet, sometimes hyper, smart, not ugly, not drop dead gorgeus, and giggle ALOT.

Any advice on the first day of my junior year? Are all my assumptions true? (about how almost everyone will be in groups on the first day of school, etc). What should I expect?

Thank you for reading all this, any feedback will be appreciated =)

If you have been homeschooled, I want to know, did you have friends? Or did you just sit at home? If you have a friend that youv talked to since you last went to school, then go to school with them.
If you have a Myspace, Start talking to some of the people from your school on there. And ask them some things.
If not then dress super nice/cute, and smile and have a good attitude, dont have a scared one. That will only make things with other people, not want to come up to you. But if you sitting there smiling, im sure someone will come up to you.
And you are right about the group thing. I have my own group and first day of school, we're all together again.
Everyschool has those stuck up chicks that seem super mean, but i found out last year if you talk to them then their not all the stuck up.
Hope I helped and i hope you have a great first day =]

Since summer started a few weeks ago, i've gone out in my pool a lot, almost every day to tan. And from my stomach and up, i've gotten a really nice tan. But i can't seem to tan my legs. I'm not sure why this is happening because i've layed out on a pool raft, so all of my body would get tan.

Earlier this year when I wanted to wear shorts, but didn't have a chance to tan, I used an at home spray tanner, but I only really used it on my legs since the rest of my body would be essentially covered up.

Before the first time I went to tan outside this summer, I scrubbed off all of the self tanner because I thought it would look better if I had a natural tan all over my body.

But lo and behold, now I can't seem to tan my legs. They have a little color up where I didn't put the self tanner, by my underwear. So I think that might be the reason why.

Could self tanner cause me not to tan? If not, what might cause this? And what can I do to tan my legs without product?

Use baby oil on only your legs. And maybe Sunblock on the rest of you? Hope i helped

I love spending all of my time at the beach. You might think it's because of the waves (which I do surf) or the soft sand, but it's not. I love it there because of one of the lifeguards. His name is Cameron and he is ADORABLE! I don't know what to do to get his attention. I walk by him all the time and try not to make it obvious but I really want him to hang out with me.

I also want to have more guy friends. Does anyone have some tips for this coming school year on how to behave or what to do? DON'T SAY "BE YOURSELF!"
thanks

To get his attention, just walk up to him and talk to him. If you know him from school and have talked before, it should be okay. But if you never talked to him before then be like "hey there, im ___ whats up?"

To have more guy FRIENDS dont become a tom boy but if you play sports, then talk about sports, i love basketball, and football, so thats how i get all my guy friends. I talk about football, or basketball. But if you dont play sports then ask them about it. But if you end up getting a boyfriend this year, DO NOT FLIRT WITH YOUR GUY FRIENDS.. NUMBER ONE RULE!.. friends are friends, nothing more. I hope i helped

i have shoulder length very very layered hair with side bangs that go just a little bit past my eyebrow. heres a picture but it's with my old hair.

http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p198/hannahisgangsturr/?action=view¤t=SD532520.jpg

so with the hair i described on that face what do you think would look good?

i can't really put it in a pony tail because of all the short layers. and i'm going to be going to highschool and i want something new. i just can't fid any hair styles that are different from side bangs so yeah any advice would be appreciated.

thanks!!

just let your hair get really long, but make sure you get it trimed to keep it nice and all. but try longer hair with layers... hope i helped

how do you get your hair to look like not
not the little puff thingy on the top
like how its like wavy
and so like perfect
uhhhhh.
someone tell me!

i can make my hair like that, and i dont use a wave thing like the other person said. I had a scrunched hair perm, and i think thats what she has. You dont need to have the perm tho to have that hair. All you do is wash your hair, brush it out. Then get moose and hairspray. Put the moose in first, and just scrunch your hair while putting it in. Then do the same with the hairspray. Dry it with the dryer, and while doing that, keep hairspray it. And after your done, touch it all over and if in some spots it feels soft, hairspray it and scrunch it, there shouldnt be soft spots, but hard so it doesnt get frizzy. Sorry its long, hope i helped
