My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.
Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.
On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.
If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

Ok so i guess what i wanna know if if i totaly cut out sweet s and really fatty foods and start working out everyday and what not i mean like working out everyday and drinking lots more water n stuff could i lose 30 pounds and whats the most weight i could lose in one summer and when i say working out everyday i mean for like 5 hours or something i dont mean starving myself or anything but eating really helthy (link)
|
Well I lost 35 lbs in 3 months so it's possible doing it the healthy way. I did it on Atkins without exercising. Now I'm on low-cal to maintain my weight and I work out.
I just wanted to answer this question for one reason. You should NEVER work out for 5 hours in one day. That's plain ridiculous. That's obsessive and you'd probably get the same results on a healthier workout regimen.
30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week is plenty...plus any extra toning exercises you want to do 2 or 3 times a week.

do your teeth grow bigger as you grow older?
yeah its a dumb question but just answear it cuz i need to know (link)
| |
No, teeth don't "grow". You get teeth when you're a baby, hence "baby teeth", lose them, then grow new ones, "adult teeth". Once they're completely in, they don't get bigger.

im 13/f and ive had sex with 14 different guys. i know how slutty that it. i was kind of neglected buy my family so i needed a way to be loved. i know regret all of it. i realize how lucky i am to still be not pregnant and std-free. ive been going to church every other day and confessing. what can i do to get my life back together???? (link)
|
First, learn that what's done is done and you can't spend your whole life regretting it. You have to own up to the choices you've made and do your best to change it.
It's good if you're religious. Many religious people find peace within themselves and their lives by living by the Bible. You can't just confess because you feel guilty for what you did. You have to really mean it.
Also, be sure in yourself that you can change. You already made the first step toward that change by seeing what was wrong with what you've been doing and trying to become a better person.
I'm not saying that you did this, but you can't blame your family for your former path in life. Everyone has problems, some are worse than others, but either way we make our own decisions and have to take responsibility for them.
As someone already said, keep testing for pregnancy and see a gyno to be tested for all STDs. Some, including HIV, can lay dormant for up to 6 months and you can test negative over and over but one day that can change even if you haven't had sex. Other things like herpes or warts can only be detected during a breakout, and some people never (or seldomly) get breakouts.
Just take a break from your former life and focus on yourself and anyone who care about that you know cares about you. You have to forgive yourself before you can change completely. You just need to focus completely on becoming a better person right now. Therapy can also be a BIG help.
Hope this helped!

I'm 16/f. And I weight 156 lbs, I'm about 5'8". I gained a lot of weight this year. And I want to lose about 20 lbs, the healthy way. But I need as much advice as I can. I know I need to eat healthier and exercise and what not. What should I eat and not eat? What kind of exercises can I do at home? What can I do to get toned, throughout my whole body? Thanks! (link)
|
Ok, here we go:
General-
-1200-1500 calories a day
-8-10 glasses of water a day
Foods to Eat-
-Vegetables and Fruits have negative calories
-Whole grains are the only kind to eat
-100 Cal Packs or other reduced calorie/low fat foods
-Lean meat
-Dairy (try skim milk, it tastes the same)
Foods to Avoid-
-Sugar
-Sodium
-Fatty meats
-Soda
Exercise:
-30 minutes of exercise AT LEAST 3-5 days a week
-Running is good for all-over weight loss
-As for toning, work with dumbells. Also do squats, lunges, push-ups, crunches, leg lifts, etc.
-All of this can be done at home with little to no purchase necessary.
Hope that helps! If you have any other questions, send me an IM or a private question on here and I'll be glad to help you out.

Well my friend recently went to a gynecologist and was tested for endometrio cancer and cervical cancer. They werent quite sure if she had it so they sent the information out and she will find out in ten days. But for 1 month I have been bleeding and my period doesn't ever last that long, so now I'm worried I have the cancer too. First off, I feel I might have got it because me and my friend shared a dildo one night, I know bad idea, but we weren't thinking. Is cervical or endometrio cancer transferable, and if so does anyone think I could have gotten it from that? I don't really want to go get checked cause I'm terrified of doctors. So if anyone has any information I would love to know, or any opinons, and adivce would be helpful too. Thanks and please hurry I'm scared. (link)
|
Woah there, don't freak out on us.
First, cancer is not an STD, so there's no way you got it from sharing a dildo. Cancer isn't contagious.
And whether you hate doctors or love them, if you think something's wrong you need to get it checked out. Better safe than sorry.

this weekend i was with some of my guy friends, and then i was alone with one of them, and he told me i had really pretty eyes. I said thanks, and stupidly said, "you have really pretty eyes too!".......i know, akward.
#1) Was that a dumb thing to say?, did it insult him, or just make things akward??
#2) Was he flirting with me??, or just telling me i have pretty eyes??
thanks (link)
|
Aw, how cute is that. haha. Well, firstly, it wasn't a stupid thing for you to say and I doubt your comment insulted him. You got nervous and awkward when you got the comment and it's completely normal.
He could possibly have been flirting with you, but he could've also just been being nice. Who knows? But the flirting is more probable because that's what "you have really pretty eyes" sounds like...especially when it's a young guy.
Good luck!

May 2007 - nothing yet. except i had a little dot of blood when i went to the bathroom yesterday. and thats it.
sorry its so long, it easier to see on a calendar
see like sometimes it will be like 3 days and otehrs it will be a week or more. and sometimes i go months without getting it.
i am a very healthy person, i excersise regularly and eat healthy and drink plenty of water. i am 5'0 and 107 ibs, mostly muscle in my legs since i play soccer.
if anybody could have an idea why this is happening, that would help. i just don't want to have some weird disease or disorder.
thankss.

You don't have a disease. It's completely normal, especially at your age, for your period to be irregular. It's really annoying, I know, but medically you have nothing to worry about.
If you want to regulate it, you can talk to your doctor about putting you on birth control. I did that last year when I was 16 and all of my periods have come exactly 28 days apart and last for exactly 5 days since I started the pill.
I'm not sexually active, so don't get the wrong idea about the pill. You don't have to be having sex to be on birth control. A LOT of young girls are on it to regulate their periods and relieve cramps.
Hope that helps!
EDIT: The person above me mentioned that BC pills cause "permanent damage". It would've helped to have some specifics there, huh? Well, I just did research on it and couldn't find anything worth mentioning. I've been on it for a year, my best friend has been on it for 3 years, and my sister was on it for about 5 years...and we're all perfectly fine. I've never heard of the "damage" the pill can cause. And if she means cancer, well, EVERYTHING causes cancer. Antiperspirant deodorant is also known to cause breast cancer...but what are you going to do? Stop wearing it? Nooo. It doesn't mean you WILL get it, it just means connections have been made between the product and cancer...just like caffeine, cell phones, and everything else on the planet.

Hello. im 13 I cant seem to find the right color eyeliner or right color eyeshadow for me. im Brunette. i have medium brown hair past my shoulders. i need help on what color to wear and some people tell me all these different styles of how to put it on and it always looks weird on me. like alittle past my age kind of makeup. so if you could tell me what color i should wear and post some links to pictures of what styles of how i should put it on that looks like a 13 year old girl would wear her makeup. That would be great! Plzzz&&Thnxxx (link)
|
I'm 17 and have medium brown hair with highlights a little past my shoulders. I've gone through all kinds of different eye colors since I started wearing make-up and this is where I've ended up:
-Put foundation/power on your eyes to clear a nice smooth surface.
-Apply eyeliner to top and bottom of eyes. I use black glide eyeliner from clinique.
-I use strawberry fudge eyeshadow from clinique (http://tinyurl.com/cm2sp) and I apply the lighter pink first to the entire eyelid.
-Apply the darker pink to the bottom half of the eyelid and blend the colors a bit.
-Re-apply the darker pink to the outer tips of the eyes. This makes your eyes look gorgeous if you do it the right way.
-Finally, I apply a very light shimmery color to the top half of my lids to lessen the intensity of the light pink and make it extra shimmery.
-At the end, use your powder brush to get all the loose eyeshadow off of your lids.
I also apply mascara to my lashes to finish off the look. I love how it looks. I don't have any pics of me to where you can see what it looks like, so I tried to be as specific as possible.
If you're just looking for color ideas...black is usually best in eyeliner. As for eyeshadow colors for brunettes: pinks, browns, grays, maybe some greens.
NEVER BLUE! IT'S VERY 90'S!

ok so yesterday was my first time makeing out. The kid i madeout with is more experienced. and it all just happened so fast. It was SUCH a blur. like i only remember the tongue and i dont remember where I put my hands! i know he put his around my waist! Do you think he thought i was bad?! can boys tell?! could he tell that it was my first time?
and to top that off. 3 of my friends madeout with him the SAME day and didnt tell me. i wouldnt of cared if they told me. should i be slightly mad?
Please help! thanks.
love, Briiiii (link)
|
Most first kisses (or makeouts, whatever) go by quickly and you can't remember. I'm sure it was fine, but even if it wasn't there's no way anything here can tell you if you were good or not. And yes, guys who've done it before can tell if you're bad. As long as you weren't too wet/sloppy or rough, you should be fine.
As for the second question, if this is just some random guy, there's no reason to be mad at your friends. If this guy was your BOYFRIEND, then you have a right to be mad at them for not telling you. But another thing is that it takes two people to tango. If this guy is your boyfriend, it's just as much his fault as it is theirs. He sounds like somewhat of a slut if you ask me. No one I'd want kissing me.
But it sounds like he's not your boyfriend. If you have a crush on him and your friends know, then it's not the nicest thing for them to do to make out with him. But like I said, if he's just some guy that you all made out with, there's no reason/point to be mad.
The only thing that concerns me is that 13 year olds are just making out with random people in any given day. There are more important things in life than kissing every guy you get your hands on, trust me.

do you know how to make ur belly fat gone while exercising or some kind of solution? (link)
|
Eating healthy and drinking plenty of water is a necessity whether you're trying to lose weight at all.
As for exercises: crunches, leg lifts, and do a search on google with "ab exercises" to get step by step instructions on some less conventional ones.

I have heard that if you smoke weed it is visible through drug tests for 6 months. Is this true if you only try it once? Also, I am a freshman in high school. Is there and times when it is mandatory to have a physical? I remember when I was going into Jr. High it was mandatory. When they take a urine sample for physicals, what are they testing for? drugs? I also heard if you take Airborne right after you smoke weed, it is invisible to the urine drug test.
Any answers to these questions?
Please no bashing.
Thanks. :) (link)
|
It can stay in your system for up to 30 days...but it's possible to pass a drug test even a week after taking a hit or two. It depends on your body. 30 days is the maximum, though, as far as I know.
And I didn't have to get a physical to get into high school, but I don't know about your particular one. I haven't had a physical in...damn, I don't even remember.
Even when I did, I don't remember a urine sample. But even if they do, I don't think they look for drugs in particular. More like UTI's or other infections, pregnancy (if you're female), sugar (signaling diabetes), etc.
Hope that helps!

Does anybody know if CVS is out of america or usa.
and where it is.
Up above is what i really need answered asap
but if you know but if you dont its okay
but if you know how many stores in whereever
Please help
thank youu. (link)

CVS is only in the US.

see, theres this boy, hes like one of my best friends, and well ive known him for about 3 years, and ive liked him for about 2 years, and he likes me...
but theres this other boy, and he likes me too, and hes like my perfect match, were exactly alike, we like the same things, and all this great stuff..
but.. what should i do?
best friend, or perfect match. (link)
|
There's absolutely no way someone can make this decision for you. You're the one that knows both of them, we don't know anything about either.
How about this, date guy #2 and be best friends with guy #1. So, you get best friend AND "perfect match".
And by the way, perfect matches are usually not as perfect as they seem.

Okay i have two questions. First, how can i get rid of my thunder thighs? Second, how can i prevent razor bumps "down there"? (link)
|
I really don't see how the shave and rinse thing mentioned here would help with razor bumps at all. It sounds like it would make them even worse.
First, don't use soap. Use shaving cream...and it's best to use a shaving cream that is meant for the pubic area.
Also, make sure you soak the area to soften the hairs before shaving. After you shave, put some baby oil or UNSCENTED lotion on the area. Allow that to dry before dressing.
As for the thighs, the bike and running DO work as said below. But squats, lunges, and leg lifts work to tone the muscle while you're losing the extra fat.

Ok so I am a prep, all the way around, its the group I hang out with and the label I am given, my thing is recently my mother went through an extreme pay cut, I am used to shopping at Hollister and AE, but since I wouldnt be able to do that does anyone know some good stores where I could still get the style I wear on a budget? (link)
|
Kohl's is usually a good place to get clothes that are in style but not too expensive. Occasionally you can find something at Target, but maybe not Hollister-type stuff.
How about Plato's Closet? It's like the preppy version of Goodwill...but don't let that throw you off. It's actually pretty awesome and they have gently used Hollister, AE, Abercrombie, etc clothes there for cheap.
Here's the site:

i want an emo styl cut but my hair i soooo frizzy it wont straighten i have it shoulder lenght at the moment bt i wz just wondering if u cud give me any tips??? (link)
|
It would help if you told me your gender so I know what you mean by "emo style", but I'm guessing this is what you're going for:
http://www.etniesmotox.com/site-images/news/article/emo-hairfull.jpg
...if you're a guy.
If you're a girl, then I'm not quite sure what an "emo style" cut is. But either way, there are a couple remedies for frizziness.
1.) Any anti-frizz cream out there.
2.) Anti-frizz shampoo. Try sunsilk.
3.) If you have a lot of frizziness at your roots, you can run a dryer sheet over it in the morning...that works for me.
I don't have overly fizzy hair, but here's what I do:
After I get out of the shower, I apply mousse to my damp hair. Then, I flip my head over and dry my hair a little to make it quicker. Then I pull it into 3 sections and blow-dry it straight with a round brush (a regular brush will work too). Then, after my hair is completely dry I straighten my hair in four sections. Here's the process:
-Pull your hair into the first thin section.
-Brush it.
-Put some anti-frizz cream on the section.
-Lightly spray the section with hairspray.
-Lightly brush it to get any stiffness out.
-Straighten that section...and take your time.
-Brush that section again when it's straight.
-Pull out the next section and do it all again. Pay special attention to the last section.
-When you're done, apply more anti-frizz cream, paying attention to the roots.
-Lightly spray your hair, especially the roots, with hair spray and flatten it out a little with your palms to get the fly-aways to go down.
Oh, and make sure you have a good straightener. Get one from Sally's or a beauty salon. And make sure it's ceramic...the others just increase frizziness.
If none of this works, you can ask anyone at a beauty salon...they'd know better than me.

My girlfriend and I would like to know why she smell so bad down there (her vagina). :/ It smells like fish. She says she showers and uses soap and I know cause most times Im with her. But yeah.... :/ We just would like to know why? And if we can change that... (link)
|
The smell is usually a hygiene thing, but since she's so certain that's not the problem, it could just be natural.
All girls have their own "aroma"...and some are just naturally unappealing. If that's the case, the only thing I can think of to fix that is those scented wipes. I don't think there's anything else that can be done.
It could also be an infection. Yeast infections and other kinds can cause a nasty odor. Infections are usually accompanied with some sort of abnormal discharge. Even if there's no discharge, it could still be an infection. She could see a doctor to check it out.
|
ohkay, well on the left side of my upperback and sholders, its been hurting since january or febuary, it hurts so so so so bad, like somone stabbed me in my sholderblade.and i can barley laugh, i cant sneeze or cough, it hurts
whats wrong?
please help (link)
| |
You should definitely go to the doctor. It could be as small as a pulled muscle (but probably not since it's been there for so long) or even something wrong with your lungs. You need to get it checked out.
