This is gonna sound disgusting but during the past week my feet have been smelling really badly. They never used to be like that, its just happened recently.
What can i do to stop them smelling?
If it helps, im 13/f
Thanks in advance, xxx

It might be because of your shoes. You can get those special racks that you put in your dryer, and you can wash your shoes, then stick them in your dryer. You can also use that Dr. Scholl's shoe powder stuff and sprinkle it on the insides of your shoes. Put some scented lotion on your feet every day, be sure to wash them when you're taking a shower with your loofah. [if you use one.]

Hope I helped!

a 6th grader calls me a demon and i need him to stop. help.

A demon? Oookayyy.

Ignore him, and if he keeps bothering you, just walk away. Don't start any fights. He's just pathetic. If he sees that him calling you a demon is bothering you, and you keep paying attention, he'll keep doing it. But, if you ignore him, and don't answer him, roll your eyes, whatever, then he should get tired of it and stop. Trust me, it works. Just learn to ignore him and get on with your life.

Hope I helped!

So..there's this gurl & i guess we're " best friends" well like 1 min. she'll be fine w/ you and then the next she goes crazy and talks behind ur back and says all this crap about you that's not true!

I don't know what to do because i thought we were friends...?

Confused.

She's not a true friend. This happened to me once when I was 13. I moved across the street from this girl, her name was Lindsay. We immediately became friends and we had sleepovers and stuff. Well, at her sleepover, she completely ignored me and everytime I tried to ask her something, she would just turn around and leave the room. Then, when this girl accidentally knocked over a bowl of popcorn, Lindsay asked me to help her because she knew that I would say yes, and everyone else just ran out of the room to go do something else. I let her take advantage of me, and I learned that the hard way. So, you should probably just dump her. A true friend wouldn't do something like that.

Has anyone ever won a trip with "Coastal Vacation.com? I was just wondering if it was a scam or lagit.

No, I never have, but it sounds like a scam. Especially when you see popups advertising that site, and saying 'FREE' all over it. Be careful, don't give them your information, 'cause I think that its too good to be true.

Hope I helped!

okay the girls that i am rooming with and i decided on a hollywood theme for our room at cheerleading camp. each room does a certain theme its like a tradition. so we are doing hollywood. we are going to a party shop this week to pick out some stuff. but do u have any ideas on things we could decorate with. we are going to have a red carpet for sure. and the stars with our names on them. any other ideas. or ways to save money. thanks in advance and i will rate 5's

http://www.filmposters.com/

That is a site which has some classic film posters. You could post those around the room. You could have a trivia game and the winner wins a golden statue sorta like what they do at the Emmy's and Tony Awards. [you could get an old trophy and spray paint it gold]. Also have like a little 'paparazzi' thing where you walk down the red carpet, and pose and take pictures with disposable cameras. Dress up in different costumes. Go to a thrift shop and look for old red dresses. You could also wear movie star glasses.

Have fun, I hope I helped!

well i have fat but its not alot and i really wanna lose it for the summer and ause it will make me feel better i tried eating healthier and getting more attive but its kinda hard staying away from things and resting
does anyone have any ideas how to lose the extra few

=) thanbks

Well, you need to stick to that routine. You can't just expect to see results in 2 days. Eliminate white bread and replace it with wheat bread. Don't eat anything with over 180 calories and over 2 grams of Saturated Fat. Eliminate soda and artifical juice with water. Instead of eating chips and cookies, grab some fruit.

Good luck.

whats the name of that song that goes.. "braap" or whatever? and who sings it?

Braap?

Do you mean Shake by Ying Yang Twins and Pitbull?

It sorta goes like 'burrep' in the middle of the song. I'm not too sure.

How do you change the background on your advicenators column and the writing??? thanks!!!I'll rate 5's!!

First, go to
http://www.advicenators.com/style.php

These are all of your settings that you can change your column's style at.

To get backgrounds, go to
http://www.advicenators.com/backgrounds.php and copy the writing on top of the image in the 'Page background image (URL)' Box.

You can go to google and type in 'hex codes' and it will give you different numbers depending on the color that you want for your column. Use those number and replace them with the ones already set onto your column. Experiment a little. It's very easy. :)

I cant take it anymore
I really cant.
My parents are so overprotective.
Whenever I go out, they always want me to be home by 10 PM. latest
I need revenge
dont you dare say its cuz they care about me. i know that and im sick of all this shit
i need help now
I cant take it anymore

You need to talk to them.

We can't really help you 'plot revenge'.

My parents are overprotective too.

Talk to them and ask them if they can make it eleven. You can't change your parents rules because it's their rules.

How old are you anyway?

Okay, so I have the boyfriend, he's not the best. & I want to break up with him. Another reason why it because it's almost summer, I want to be free for summer, and maybe date some other people.

The only problem is, HOW? I mean, I'm not the type that does it herself, right in front of everyone in the hallway. But I also don't want to be the one that has to ask her friend to tell him for me. I don't think I can do it in 3 days before school ends, So it's going to have to be over the phone.

I just do want to break him down emotionally. I want to let him down easy, but either way he might be in tears. I don't want to make him sad, but I know that I have to break up with him. It's going to be so awkward. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Sit him aside and tell him '[name], we have to talk. You see, I don't think that we're made for each other. I want to see other people, and I don't want to pursue this relationship any further'.

Okay i know a part of this song that a girl sings that goes...

Can you look me in the eye and tell me that you love me now o o o o ....

Please help

Its 'Are you happy now' by Michelle Branch.

summer is here and i live in a really small town.my friends always want to hang out, but theres only so much we can do on a limited budget. what are some fun, creative things we could do?

You could..

- Go see a local band perform
- Go to a carnival
- Go to a local cafe or coffeehouse
- Go to a diner, and buy like a huge strawberry shake and you could all put one straw in and share it, it will be fun and you guys can talk and stuff.
- Go to the movies. If your local theater does the 'twilight' thing, when you can go after a certain time to go see a movie on a specific day, you can get a cheaper ticket.
- Have a car wash, and you guys can wash peoples cars, vacuum, and such. You can raise money and treat yourself to something afterwards and you can have a lot of fun! Lots of people need their cars washed this summer and they don't have enough time with all thats going on right now in society.

Have fun!

ok....this is hard to talk about but im going to try to get it out best i can.im in college, and i really like this guy( ill call him rob) for a while. we never hooked up or anything, but talked dont the phone here and there.sometimes he use to joke around about things he wanted to do with me sexually,but i always just thought he was kidding because we were kinda friends.so this one day, i was really drunk and he called me to come over to his apartment. i was so excite because i really like him and he alwasy told me what a great girl i was and how he liked me alot. i thought one day he was really gunna get serious with me. Anyway, i went there and he told me he wanted me to listen to some song in his room, i went in and when i did his roomate was in ther and i kind aheard him tell him to leave, then he left rob locked the door. i started to get nervous because i wasnt really expeting to hook up with im or have sex, but i just went with it because i was so drunk. we end up starting to hook up and then it just got bad. we started to have sex, which was ok with me because i thought he really like me and it was going to be so great.it ended up be the most hurtful thing i have ever gone through, pyshcially and emotionally. he was having sex with me really rough, and it hurt really bad, i was very drunk but i managed to say your hurting me, so he would stop, but then he would just do the same thing again. he was throwing me around the bed like a rag doll, and i was crying inside.i said stop it hurts, but he took that as "stop for a sec then start again" this went on for a good 20 mintues till i fianlly made up some excuse to leave.when i left i cried the entire way home. i got home and i had bruises bewtween my legs already.i was so hurt because i though he like me and he treated me so terribly....but what i always wanted to know was...is that considered rape or something close to it???sorry so long, i just pushed it out of my mind for song long becauseit really screwed me up in the head to the point i cant trust guys anymore and talk of sex with a guy totally scares me...advice please what do you think??im i blowing this out of poportion? because i didnt exactly say or scream stop like i was being raped....i dunno please advice

Ouch. That must really suck. I'm so sorry, hun.

You can talk to the police about or maybe go see a counselor if you want to talk to someone. If you told him to stop and he kept going, then that can be considered as rape.

Good luck.

I hope you feel better.

Theres this guy in my art class who i really like but im really shy and don't know how to ask him out. I can't get my freind to do it in class because he sits right next to me. WHAT SHOULD I DO?????????

FLIRT!

Turn your head around a little and smile. If he smiles back, then he probably does like you. If he ignores you, turns away, or frowns, then he probably doesn't.

my friend wanted me to go swimming with her in a couple days and i just got my period today can you swim if u had ur period?

You can wear a tampon. If you're not used to tampons, you can get a smaller sized one designed especially for first time users or beginners, some say that menstruation stops in the water, but you should probably try 'junior' or 'slender' tampons anyways just to be on the safe side.

Have fun!

It's near the end of my grade (8) and were graduating. I am going to a different highschool then the one i like. But i REALLY LIKE HIM. What should i do? One of my bff likes him to. So i have to say i don't like him anymore. I just really want him to hold my hand. or just tell me he likes me and kiss me OR SOMETHING. on the day of graduating should i tell him? HELP. give me ideas what to do! (we ARE having yearbooks)

Sign his yearbook with your number and a cute message saying 'I'll miss you a lot and you were awesome. This year was a blast'. It's the last day of school, so you don't have to be embarrased about signing his yearbook with a cute little message, you know?

Good luck.

what are some REALLY REALLY good books for teen girls. i dont want just a light fluffy book. i want it to have like a really good story n stuff. thanks!

I really enjoy Meg Cabot's books. She has the Princess Diaries series which basically started the Princess Diaries movies.

Teen Idol is also a good book -

High school junior Jenny Greenley is good at solving problems ... so good she's the school newspaper's anonymous advice columnist. Even if solving other people's problems doesn't make her own -- like not having a boyfriend -- go away, it's still fun. But when nineteen-year-old screen sensation Luke Striker comes to Jenny's small town to research a role, he creates havoc that even levelheaded Jenny isn't sure she can repair ... especially since she's right in the middle of it.

All-American Girl is one that I enjoyed a few years ago -

Samantha Madison is just your average disenfranchised sophomore gal living in D.C. when, in an idle moment sandwiched between cookie-buying and CD-perusing, she puts a stop to an attempt on the life of the president. Before she can say "MTV2" she’s appointed Teen Ambassador to the U.N. and has caught the eye of the very cute First Son.

I got the descriptions from megcabot.com

Well, I've seen a lot of people make short movie clips with just picures or actual dancing and such.. And where you can add music and aniamtion and all that jazz, I was wondering what programs you can download to make those small films I've been wanting to make some for awhile but I've never been able to figure out what you use.

To make your pictures animated with all of the little effects and stuff, a great program [which I have btw] is Animation Shop 3. You can go to JASC.com to get a free 30 day trial, but after that, if you want to keep it, you have to pay $30-40. You can add words that can fade in and fade out.

To get the small films, you have to download it off of Limewire, or you can go to a fan site and see if they have little mini clips. Make sure that you ask them if you can use them!

editt - Like the person 2 posta above said, you can use Windows Movie Maker. It comes with XP computers. Start // All Programs // Accessories // At the bottom; 'Windows Movie Maker'. You can edit little clips and it's basic stuff. But that should help.
Have fun, and good luck!

Hope I helped!

Ok this is mostly for guys to answer...unless girls have good ideas.

Well...my boyfreind(17) is always doing cute things like showing up with my favorite movie, flowers, whatever, doing all these cute romantic things and i always feel bad becuase i never what to do to surprise him.

I not really made of money...so please keep in mind it cant be something to expensive.

Thanks!!!

You can make a list that is like '50 reasons of why I love you' and you can add little pictures and some glitter and stuff. Make it colorful!

Ever since we met, my boyfriend always had this thing about grabbing my upper arm to pull me closer to him when he wants to talk to me or something.

Sometimes it's like he isn't aware of his own strength or something because it'll hurt. And I always tell him not to do it because of that. He apologizes and tells me that he doesn't realize he does it that hard and says he'll try to stop.

Well, of course, he doesn't stop. He just did it last night and that time it left marks on my arms. I didn't even notice until my mom said something about it this morning and I had to sit that and explain to her why the guy I'm seeing left marks on my arm! NOT EASY.

I haven't showed him the marks yet but what should I say to him when I do? I mean, I know what to say but how do I make it clear to him that he NEEDS to STOP?

And by the way, he is in NO WAY abusive, if he came off that way. I'm 18/f -- He's 21/m

Slap his hand away. That's the best that I can think of. He's hurting you, and he's being aggressive and he's not noticing. When he grabs your arm, pull it away. And tell him that if he continues, then it's over. If he hits you back really hard, then he can be in trouble.
