iwill rate high for good answers or enless you want a one you can answer badly but I really need some help on what I can buy so please answer this question
Hey
Awww feel better babe.
Well the best thing for you to do is stay in bed.
Drink LOTS of tea. Green tea is the best for the flu. Buy Theraflu medicine it helps your coughing go down. DRINK lots of hot soup.
AND
Here are some more tips
Using a humidifier may help you breathe more easily. If you do use a humidifier, remember to change the water and clean the tank daily with a mild solution of bleach.
Gargling with salt and warm water can help relieve a sore throat. Instructions: Dissolve 1/4 tsp. of salt in 8 ounces of warm water. Gargle every four hours.
Using saline nose drops may help clear your nasal passages and make you feel less stuffed up. Instructions: Dissolve 1/4 tsp. of salt in 8 ounces of warm water. Place a few drops of the solution in each nostril.
Drinking hot beverages may help relieve a sore throat and clear nasal passages. Stay away from alcoholic beverages though; alcohol may actually lead to increased nasal congestion.
Drinking plenty of decaffeinated, non-alcoholic fluids (10-12 glasses per day) can help soothe a dry throat and relieve some coughs.
Using a cool mist vaporizer.
Getting enough sleep won't cure a cold or the flu, but if your tired, you should sleep. Getting 8-10 hours of sleep when your sick is a good idea.
Being around smoke may make your sore throat and congestion even worse. Avoid smoking and being around others who are smoking.
Also heres a site with a list of medicine you could find in the pharmacy that should help your flu.

Hello. Look i've went to the jym like 5 months ago.but i stopped going because i got bored of going everyday. And my question is-If u work out,and then stop;would u like gain fat,or some pounds. I sometimes go for a 15-20 min. walk outside.But that's pretty much it. Thanks for the help.
Brenda!
Hey
Don't worry about it. If your walking outside everyday, and eating the right kind of foods then there is no way for you to gain any weight at all. Hope this helps

I'm 13, I've had very oily skin since I was 10 *including the black heads and pimples* I've tried so many products such as clean & clear, noxema, ponds, clearisil, (all those otc products) but nothing works to clear it up. I want to go to the derm. but we have no money for it, there for no money for Proactive either. What should I do, is there anything yall recomend ?
Hey
I completely feel your pain. I had and still sometimes have very oily skin. Let's just say i hate it. As im sure you do too. I use proactive and it works great. But i know that's not really an option for you right now. About the dermatologist, why can't you go? Don't you have medical insurance? If you do then don't worry the dermatologist would be free. Umm but i still really think you should try proactive. Try saving up money for it or something. Umnm lets see the only thing i could recommend for you besides Proactive would have to be stridex day nd night. It's the only product that i have gotton from a pharmacy that has worked.
If you go here: http://store.darisimall.com/701094.html
You'll see what it looks like if you already dont know.
Otherwise then that i can give you so helpful tips on how to control your oily skin.
1. Cleanse only two or three times at the very most with a product made for your skin type
2. Drink lots of water
3. Don't skip sunscreen. Many women with oily skin foregot face lotion. But everyone, no matter what her skin type, needs sunscreen. Use a gel SPF formula.
4. Avoid moisturizing makeup. Foundation for older skin is usually formulated to be moisturizing, which means it contains oils and humectants that your skin doesn't need. Instead, choose an oil-free foundation.
5. change your pill case every two days, so that all the dirt won't be put back on your face everynight.
Well i have LOTS more tips and ideas. If you want any of them just comment my inbox.
hope i helped

Is it abnormal that i am extremly turned on by watching a guy jerk off? It's gotten to the point where i constantly encourage my boyfriend to jack off just so i can ask him about it? anyone else share this same interest?
Hey
It's perfectly normal. Everybody has their own sexual pleasures, desires, dreams. I have a friend who injoys seeing her boyfriend jack off to her so dont worry your not the only one, and even if you were, there would be nothing wrong with it. Everyone is different and if you find this pleasing go on ahead with it.
HAVE FUN AND ENJOY

I know that to stop drinking soda is good if you want to lose weight. But is it okay to drink diet coke?
Hey
Diet soda is just as bad as regular soda. If you are on a diet or just want to start drinking healthy then i suggest not to drink soda at all. pluse diet soda doesn't even taste as good as soda so what's the point.

I just got your comment. Thanx, it helped. The problem is, my parents blow it off as me just being nervous about skool and stuff which i could care less about. I'm kinda lost at what to do. I'm not even totally sure it was the diet pills. I just know that it's gotten worse since i used them. It's been off and on for this entire summer but ever since the pills it's gotten worse. Like i can barely sleep and i'm burning up all the time. Just thought maybe a little more info might help. Any more ideas???? I'm pretty much lost here...
Hey sweetheart
Even though you are not exactly sure if it's the pills or something else you should still see a doctor. Even if it is something else maybe the doctor could found out what the problem is. I mean if you dont feel comfortable talking to your parents again about this then try going to the doctors without your parents knowing. Or just tell them you want to go for a check up.
That way you can talk to the doctor in complet confidence without getting worried about what your parents will say. If the doctor say's its not a big deal then keep this to your self. If it's something else make sure you tell them because like i said your parents do care about you and love you. But this way they won't think it's just you being nervous about school because you would have already been to the doctors. If you can't go to the doctors alone try taking a big sister, cusin, aunt, or someone older that you trust. If you still have any questions be sure to comment me and make sure you comment me and inform me how everything went. I would LOVE to hear from you.

im having trouble in a sport called... tennis. how do i get better? please help
please dont say "Practice, practice, practice" or "ask someone" because I need ACTUAL tips from someone who has ACTUALLY played!
I rate high!
Thanks!
Hey
One of the easiest ways to improve your technique is to utilize your non-dominant arm correctly. The non-dominant arm is a crucial, but little taught component of most amateur tennis player's strokes. All strokes can be improved with a little assistance from the "other" side. It is also a good way of improving technique without being so "technical." One example of the usefulness of the non-dominant arm is with a right-hander's forehand groundstroke.
1. By extending the left arm slightly across the body, the shoulders turn by themselves. Now you don't have to turn your shoulders consciously. The left arm does it for you.
2. The second benefit of extending the left arm is for better balance. In sports, opposite limbs will synchronize for balance.
3. Another use of extending the left arm is that it helps you find your contact point. This is similar to an overhead when an individual puts their arm up to track the ball.
4. A fourth use of the left arm is to catch the follow through. By catching the racquet handle over the opposite shoulder and by the left ear, the follow through is "given" to you.
5. Finally, you are in balance again. Although your hands are now together, your arms are opposite. You have now come full circle: starting balanced and ending balanced.
Hope this helps
If not just comment my inbox i have alot more tips. I play tennis and my tennis teacher sends me alot of emails with helpful tips.

About three weeks ago i started taking diet pills without my parents knowing. After i took them i started feeling really nervous. My heart feels like it's beating really hard and fast. I'm breathing really weird and it takes me forever to go to sleep cuz i'm soo wired. I stopped the pills shortly after taking them but i'm still messed up. Does anybody know what's wrong and how i could fix it???
Hey
Oh wow babe. This is really serious.
You should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Tell your parents. After all your parents care about you and would rather die then see you get hurt. Im sure if you tell them they will know what to do and how to help. They love and care for you so dont worry. Just please go to the doctor. I send best wishes your way. feel better

what are some tips for getting your eyelashes longer and more curled ?
Hey
For longer eyelashes use LOTS of mascara.
and to make them more curled use a Heated Eyelash Curler or just a rugular eyelash curler.
You could always just buy fake eye lashes.
If you dont know where to get the heated eyelash curler just go here:
http://www.body-care-shop.com/gip/eyelash-curler.htm
For the mascara you could just go to any pharmacy and purchase one. But the one i would recommend is from marykay. MK Signature Endless Performance Mascara. http://www.marykay.com/Color/EyeColor/Mascara.aspx
Also i think if you use eye black eye liner it would make your eyes stand out and your eyelashes might look bigger.

is it ok to shave next to your belly and your lower back?
Hey
Well it's technical ok to shave anywhere. I mean it's not like theres a rule against it but my advice is not to shave those two areas. Do you shave your legs? If yes you would know how fast and un pleasant your skin feels when it grows out. Would you like your back to feel that way? I would recommend to just wax. Even though it hurts a little bit, its alot better then shaving. It won't grow back as fast and it won't feel all pointy when it grows out.

are hoop earrings still in?
Hey
Umm when were hoop earrings ever out?
I think you should really care less of what is in and what is out and more of what you actually like and injoy to wear and use. If you like hoop earrings then wear them! That's the only advice that i'll be able to give you!

I'm doing some research on what teenage boys find attractive in girls, both in looks and personality for a creative writing paper. If anyone has any information for me, I would appreciate it.
Hey
http://www.misterpoll.com/results.mpl?id=175624111
^ if you go to that site then you'll get an idea of what boys find attractive in girls. It's a poll. Also heres some info i found online
According to an American survey, the most important qualities that a girl must have for a boy to go out with her are (in this order):
Intelligence.
Good looks and body, but not necessarily beautiful.
A good conversationalist = "easy to talk to."
Sincere and honest
Confident, but not conceited.
Sense of humor - fun to be with.
"Well groomed, doesn't take drugs or drink alcohol to excess."
Romantic and affectionate.
Popular at school.

I'm sure most of you ladies who straighten your hair have heard of the product called "Maxiglide". It's a hair straightening iron that is shown on infomercials. I was wondering if anyone owns it and could tell me if it's actually worth paying the $100+ for it. I have EXTREMELY thick/curly hair. Has anyone tried it? Does it work? I don't want to make such a great investment on something I'm not sure is even going to work.
Hey
Yes it is worth it. My friend has been using it for about a year now. It works like a charm.
And let me tell you my friend has really thick, frizzy, curly hair. But im sure if you go to cvs or any other pharmacy you could get a perfectly good straightener for less then 40 dollars.
But it's up to you. Do what you feel is right.

Hey
If you suspect that you might be pregnant, consider taking a home pregnancy test right away. But here are the pregnancy symptoms.
1. Your basal body temperature stays high
2. A missed period
3. Frequent urination
4. Food aversions
5. Increased sensitivity to odors
6. Nausea or vomiting
7. Implantation bleeding
8. Fatigue
9. Tender, swollen breasts
10. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
If you have all of these symptoms you are most likely pregnant.
