What products work best to clear up acne. I know proactiv but what else?

Use St. Ives products. some are especially for blemishes, and some are just towards having great skin. i have the apricot radiance and apricot scrub and they work AMAZING. if you just use it every night you`ll have clear, beautiful skin in less than a week. good luck! -Michelle

Ohk i know you can get Aids Or Hiv from someone if you have sex with someone that has it. I was told by many people that even if you use a condom you can also get it. Is it true.?

Only asking because i was watching tv today and on one of the Trojan Condom commercials. Its says to be sure not to get Aids Or HIv. Always use a condom.

No im not out having sex. And im 17 female.

condoms just protect you from getting pregnant. there are no ways to avoid geting hiv, aids, or any std`s unless you dont have sex.

I have a computer to myself I have dial up internet. I can't seem to get call waiting for it. Whenever I am online, it blocks any phone calls and my whole family complains that they are missing phone calls because of me being online. I don't know if I can get call waiting at all. My dad says we can't for some reason, but we have call waiting otherwise, like on our phone line we have it, so why can't we get it for the computer and being online. I was wondering, does it matter was kind of computer you have or does it matter what ISP you have. Is there any way I can allow it to kick me offline when someone calls?

You would have to get Road Runner or MSN. i have road runner and it works great. the only problem is that it costs a lot more a month because you now have a seperate line for your phone. talk to your family about it..and if they dont mind having to spend more..then everything should be fine. hope i helped=]

My mom made me a doctors appotment in August with a regualar pediatricion. (i'm 13)

I'm gonna get a physical or a check-up, I can't remember which one. Thing is, I havn't been to the doctor since I was 7 or 8. So, of course, I've gotten my period since then.

Will my doctor want to take a look "down there"?

(Sorry my spellings kinda messed up, I'm in a hurry)

i dont think so. he shouldnt. my doctor just asked if i started and when i said yes he said oh my your growing up! lol so yeah dont worry about it.

I have horrible cramps. They are so bad I can't stand up straight and I'm almost in tears. How can I lessen the pain? I tried ibuprofen but it's not helping and a heating pad doesn't work either.

get midol!!! they are especially for your period so it focuses on all the areas that hurt during your period. that should really help. hope i helped=]

Hi, I've been on my period for 2 years now. Im 14, and i'll be 15 in august. When I get my period, I get it REALLY bad, especially my cramps. They are always so bad that I cant walk, I cry, and I cant do any normal things, I just have to lay down throughout the day in pain until my period is over. When I had school, I couldn't even make it to school,and I would always have to go home during the day. My cramps usually last throughout the whole entire period but their not as bad at the end. I also have every single symptom a girl gets when shes on period, such as bloating,PMS,boob pains, and all this other stuff. Also when Im on my period my whole body is messed up, like Im sick. I also get lightheaded and sick to my stomach.
I tried advil for my cramps and it only makes them worse. Extra strength tylonal works for me but not enough as it should.
Is all of this normal? All my friends dont have this problem. My mom does so it could be genetics.
Should I go to the doctor?
thanks

the same thing happened to me, but when i first had my period. i threw up i was so sick! all you can really do is take midol and lay down..maybe talk to a friend..or watch tv and that should help you feel better. hope i helped=] -Michelle

How do you learn to love your body?

aww. theres lots of ways. start with confidence. if you believe in yourself to do things you never thought you could do before, that can help make you love yourself. every girl goes through a "stage" like that and it ends pretty quickly. hope i helped=] -Michelle

[view]

Are cramps bad for you? Is it bad when you get really bad ones, like unbearable? Any solutions?!

cramps arent bad for you at all. every girl gets them. if your talking about cramps from your period and how to get rid of them..then you can excerise, take midol or advil, and eat bananas

I got my period about noon July 4. How long should my period last? I usually go a full 7 days. Is there anything to shorten myperiod or make it go faster? I've heard all kinds of things... Doing a lot of standing/jumping, drinking water, exercise, etc. Which of these are true?

well theres nothing really to do to shorten your period. those things like excersing help with period cramps. hope i helped=] -Michelle

i was looking on google for websites about getting a flat stomach and i found this: http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/butt6541/mycustompage0011.htm look down on number 13 and where it says stuff like "If you are not thin you are ugly" and "being thin is way more important then being healthy"(along with all the other facts that are there) im not fat or anything but is this true? it sounds really stupid but i was wondering if this is true.

that website is crap. none of it is true and whoever made that site to make girls feel bad about themselves is an idiot. if you are comfortable with your body..then it doesnt matter how much you weigh, how much water you drink, or the meals you eat. dont listen to those crazy websites.

well i got my period the first day of camp and i stil have it because its still he first week of camp. I put pads in, in the morning and since we swim first period i take it out in the bathroom and go swimming because your period temporarilly stops in water. I don't put a pad in after because i usually go to free swim at the end of the day so it would not make any sense. But my bathing suit bottoms get all bloody. Is there any way to make it easier at camp with putting the pads in.

PLEASE HELP! I rate al 5's!

thx

hunn..i would try tampons. you can wear them in the water and its much better than having to bleed in your bathing suit. in my opinion and in all my friends is that tampax pearl works best. trust me..its going to seem scary at first but you`ll get used to it and they are way more comfortable then pads. good luck! -Michelle

ok.
so it feels like my vagina is being presured. i dont really no how to explain it. it feels like i have to pee a lot. but i dont think its a UTI. any one know what it is or how to get rid of it?!

you have a bladder infection! ive had this many many times before. its caused by having to go to the bathroom and waiting a long time to do it. like say you go in a public bathroom and you really have to go but all the bathrooms are tooken up so you have to hold it and blahblahblah..you get the idea. it totally sucks having but it should go away in about a week. drink lots of cranberry juice because it is good for your bladder and thats pretty much it. i hope it gets better soon and i hope i helped! -Michelle

i have kind of like a light auburn or a darker strawberry blonde shade of hair and i want to lighten it, except my mom doesn't want me to dye it right now. are there any tricks to lightening your hair?

Get Sun in at a grocery store. its usually right by the hair color. all you do is spray it in your hair if you know you are going to be outside a lot and the sun will lighten it up=] good luck and i hope i helped!!

[view]

Lemon Juice on hair and then going into the sun! What happens?

it makes your hair lighter..ive done it before. and if it doesnt work for you or if you dont want to try it, be careful about using sun in. because sun in brings out your natural highlights..you want to make sure what they are. because i wanted to try doing that to be a lighter blonde, but my mom said i prolly have red highlights and if i used sun in it would turn my hair red. k. hope i helped=]

I am taking a road trip on Saturday 7/1, driving from Rochester, NY to Virginia Beach, VA.

I have heard that there has been heavy rain causing flooding en-route and through PA.

I have also heard that there are roads being closed.

Is there truth to this, and if so is it possible for me to drive? Is it just local roads that are closed?

Thanks for the advice!

wow that is soo wierd. i live in rochester and im going to virginia on saturday too! i would really like to know about this too..so everyone please help if you know anything about this!

If I could have some ideas, that would be greatly appreciated. (Also, along with clothes, please give good accessory ideas, and hairstyles). Please, if you could, answer by tonight. Thanks in advance!

well you just HAVE to have the nerdy glasses..and for your hair? do like pigtails but make one lower than the other. have fun!

What is the best way not to let your period from leaking during ball? I don't wear tampons.. I useally wear the underarmor shorts underneath my shorts to prevent it but it makes me run like a chicken..lol.. what should i do? we wear a light color shorts btw

i had to deal with this too when i played basketball for school. if you have problems with it leaking where your pad ends, then look for the "overnight" pads. they are longer than the regular ones so it gives you more protection in more places. good luck=]

I KNOW IT'S LONG BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP

i use to be a very confident girl. i've never really had problems of thinking that i was ugly or anything like that. i mean, i'm not conceded but i always found myself not to be so bad-looking. i'm not overweight. but lately, i've found myself thinking that i just look fat in everything! everyone says that i look fine, but i still want to lose weight. i've tried absolutely every diet that you could imagine. when starving myself didn't work, i tried to eat normal, i did portion control. i did jenny craig. i did it all! i drink like a cuzillion water bottles a day and work out like a beast. but nothing....... what's wrong with me? no matter how hard i try i only seem to loose like a pound per month. it really sucks! sooo i have two questions that go with this problem:

what can i do to make myself lose this weight a bit faster? is there any magic diet or magic weight loss tea that i can have? i would feel so much more confident if i just lost a few pounds and if in about a week, I could look just a little thinner (special event). and why haven't i been able to lose them faster???


and my next question is:

why is it that i've stuck all of this in my head NOW????? i've never been a self-concious girl..... ever! everyone tells me i have a cute little figure. everyone tells me that i'm really pretty. why am i getting this way now? i just don't know why i'm so self-concious and why i don't see what everybody is telling me that I am?

help is appreciated. i thank you from the bottom of my heart

aww hunn. RELAX! every girl goes through this trust me. last year, i always felt fat and like i never looked good in anything. its kind of like a "stage" everyone goes through. If you really feel like loosing weight then go running everyday..in your backyard or something it really helps! well good luck and if you ever need help with anything or want to talk..message me or IM me. good luck! much love! Michelle♥
