♥♥♥♥♥♥The name is Leah. I live in Cincinnati, OH. I really love to give advice! I have been here since November of 2004. But prior to joining here, I was always been seeked for advice. Still to this day, my primary concern is always helping someone out in need.
I am likely not the best columnist here, but I can quarantee I am very dedicated and concerned when I answer a question. If I answer a question you're not satisfied with, I will ask why, so I can try my best to change my answer. I only give people information that I know; not information that I might know. And if I notice a columnist giving you a wrong answer, you'll know I'll be correcting their response!!
I do allow everyone and anyone to ask a question. I may have listed favorite categories, but I really have no preference. I do love making new friends!! It's no problem to contact me by e-mail or IM. I do have a Myspace, and I will gladly give it out if asked! If you ever need advice, if you feel like ending it all, if you feel like no one cares, I am here!! Talk to me.. I will listen and I will help you!!

...But I don't know what to do. When I see a girl kissing a guy, I get seriously turned off...But when I see a girl kissing a girl or something...it seems right to me. I sometimes get aroused by the latter. This is very strange...and I have no idea how it came about. The thing is - sometimes I like guys too! When they kiss a girl, or when a guy talks to me. I have NO idea what's going on. I might be bisexual, or I might be a full lesbian. No idea what's going on with me...I sometimes have thoughts and weird lesbian dreams. o_o...sometimes it scares me. I haven't told anyone. But there are certain clues...In school, sometimes when a girl passes by, or something...like a PRETTY girl...I for some reason (without even REALIZING) tend to stare at her for a while (Like, "check her out")...and it seems VERY weird. I don't even realize what's going on - and then my friends have to tell me that I'm going to be late to class. I just find girls SO pretty. I don't know...I myself am a VERY girly person. (I'm 15/f). This is very foreign to me...lol. :(...is it too young of an age? And what exactly is happening?
This is completely normal! Go by what the previous columnists said because it is a stage we all go through, especially during our teen years. I used to confused about mine too for awhile, but it all came out that I am perfectly straight. Don't be ashamed of the dreams you are having either, because I think we have all had those whether we admit to them or not. And also seeing any kind of lesbian, gay, or straight porno is a common thing, too so if you do that, it's OK. Just keep going through this cycle and you'll come out fine. And being 15 isn't young all all. Girl or guys experience this (I've seen) as early as 11! And by the time they hit 20, they were starting to find out what sexual orientation they were.
You'll do just fine! =]
im going to the dermatoligist next week to get some medicine and products for my face.
has anyone ever been there and did they stuff they gave you clear up your acne fast? or did it take a long time?
Yeah I went to one before. When I did, they gave me antibiotics, and skin cream mainly. It was a sulfur cream that had scientific evidence that it literally kills pimples, and reduces blemishes way more effectively than OTC stuff, and of course the antibiotics fights the bacteria on your skin internally. It helped my skin so much. It actually went away within a week. But even though I saw dramatic improvement within a week's time, I still had to keep up with it every day for 3 months. It sucked, but it was worth it.
Good luck on your visit =]
Hey you're really pretty! And you like MCR! That's awesome, so from one MCR fan to another, I just had to say hey and that you seem like a cool person. :)
Well thank you =]. I am very grateful for your comment. You rock!
I was told to remove my makeup with certain cleaners/removers
Then wash my face with hot/warm water
And cleanse it with some cream OR pads.
then wash it off with cold water.
That.. is really not helping me.
What's your routine?
I experiment with my facial cleansers. What I do is clean my face with ingredients such as Benzol Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, and Triclosan. They kill bacteria in the skin, treat and prevent pimples while reducing blemishes.
I mix the stuff up and put it on my face. I scrub for like 5 minutes, wash it off in warm/hot water and repeat but with a little on, and wash it over. I do this twice a day. Usually they tell you not to over-do it but I use moisturizing stuff afterwards. It keeps my face from getting dried, irritated and red after several uses of cleansers.
Also, it's prescription but this works. It's Sulfur facial cream. The sulfur actually treats pimples so effectively you see results within a couple of days! When I used it, it really cleared my face up.
Also, all-day lasting lotion that's allergen-free, doesn't clog pores, and moisturizers, helps your skin clear all day, and reducing the production of oil which causes breakouts, as well.
Hope I helped =]
okay so i have a sister that is a couple years older then me and she is really nice but really bossy. she always makes me do things for her and i do them because i dont want her to not like me. it is getting really out of hand and i am like her SLAVE now. i feel like she is taking advantage of me but i dont know what to do, help!
Have self-respect and be assertive! If she is going to boss you around tell her to do it herself.
I know the fear of someone not liking you over doing someone's chores and other things, but if she is really going to hate you then that's her problem. And try telling her that it's not her job. But if it goes out-of-hand, like physical force, you need to tell your parents about this. You should never try to solve things from a physical fight or argument.
And since you said she is nice, then there shouldn't be much of a problem to make her realize that it's her responsibility to do her job(s). And tell her that since she is the big sister, she should be a better influence and take responsibility for her own jobs.
But if you two never find a solution, then you really should talk to your parents about this.
is medicated vaseline okay to put on your lips, like use it as chapstick? because i know that the regular kind is?
Yes.. Vaseline can be used for the lips. I use it all ther time for my lips and it works just as effectively as it would on your skin.
Vaseline has the same ingredient as some chapstick does.
i should learn to spell that word epilepcy well as you guessed i am epileptic i have been for 18 years well i was thinking if you had it in child hood into adulthood can it be cured when it is not getting any better
There is a possibility epilepsy can go away through the years, but it commonly stays with you for the rest of your life.
Usually epileptic people take medication for their condition to ease it, and there are surgical procedures you can do to get rid of a lot of the epileptic episodes.
So really, there is no actually 'cure' yet, (like what the columnist said below me) but there is always a chance of it slowly going away and a bigger chance if you take good neurological medication with it. And surgery can better the chances, as well.
So if at all you are intersted in those kind of things, you can always go to a Neurologist for options.
Hope I helped. =]
[so its the same story as the last one]
I like this guy named ryan,but i think he only likes me as a friend(i think).is there any techniques i can do to flirt with him so he will LIKE me LIKE me?
You can never get him to like you, unless you have some magical love potion. But, you can experminent with him a little bit. You could flirt with him, or play jokes with him. But yet treat him as a friend. A really good friend. If you aren't friends with him, try to get to know him and ask him out to join you with your friends or something. Ask what kind of sports he is into, and consider playing that sport with him some time. Usually guys like having something in common with a girl. Great turn-on!
You can ask him to join you at a party some time on the weekends, so you can go out and dance with him. And trying to bond with him can really produce sparks. Like if he is having a bad day, go to him and ask him what's wrong. And try to cheer him up. Guys like that a lot.
But don't try to force him into liking you. Just be yourself the whole way through and try new things with him.
Hope I helped and good luck =]

okay well on thanksgiving i got really sick(throwing up, fever, body aches, headaches, coughing, stuffy nose) and then on christmas i had the same symptons then i found out i had laryngitis..the doctors said not to worry..but heres the thing im getting sick again..just sore throat and a really bad cough. oh yeah my mom and my stepdad smoke...if that helps any.
does anyone know whats wrong with me? could i be getting the flu or something serious?
It possibly can be but actually your immune system could be weak. Because getting sick often tells you that your immune system is weakening, which means lack of nutrients (especially vitamins C, E, and A) all can help your immune system. And a lot of illnesses are spreading around during this time of year so you should not worry unless your symptoms are re-occuring several times a month, your symptoms are worsening within a 7-day period, or if you are getting the same symptoms endlessly for 2 weeks, then you should go to see a Doctor. He/she might put you on antibiotics and flu/cold relief medicine.
But your symptoms just sound like you are getting Laryngitis again. But like I said, if this is going consistent or worsening, then you should worry.
Hope I helped =]
I am a 16-year old female, 118llbs, 5'3. I want to know how old I will be before I stop growing. I've had my period for about 3 years now. I've only grown an inch in those years and my breast seem to be getting smaller. Please leave me with some knowlegedable(SP) answers
You really can't determine what age you will stop growing at. I can't even determine what age I will, myself. It always varies between your diet, any physical/mental conditions you have, and by your hormones. Your hormones can actually change at the very last minute, if your growing remains dormant, or if you have been growing for the past 10 years non-stop.
But I could assume since you have had your period awhile, and your height and weight sounds average, you could almost be done with growing. Just know that some girls do not stop growing until they get to 20 years old, compared to guys until they are 22. Some go longer; some go shorter.
Hope I helped =]
okay so i am 16 years old/female and i have only gotten my period once.. when i was 14. i think this is really wierd because like i have gone through every other part of puberty, like im done growing and my boobs are big and everything. when i did get my period it was a full 6 days and i dont know why i never got it again. it was late to begin with too since i have been the same height and stuff since i last got it. my parents say want to take me to get blood work done and im scared though. what could be the reason for not getting it? i've also never had sex and i also get a normal amount of discharge. help please!!!!
You should contact a Gynocologist first before doing bloodwork. Or if you already have, then doing bloodwork could give answers to your problem.
Certain things may be the reason:
*You could have a blood condition where it will prevent you from getting periods.
* If you exercise heavily, very athletic [or opposite] like morbidly obese, that could be another explanation.
*Your weight is always flunctuating. When this happens, your hormones get messed up.
*They also get screwed up during puberty. Teenage years is where you get the most irregular periods.
*Depression, anxiety, Insomnia, or any other Psychiatric/mental conditions could irregulate your period.
*Taking certain drugs, prescription medicines, OTC medication, and illegal substances can irregulate them.
So you should really see a Gyno, a family Doctor, and still consider getting bloodwork done.
Hope I helped and good luck with your period! =]
I have 3 pregnant friends and they are all keeping them two of them are 14 and the other is 15. the 14 year olds are good about it and I hope everything turns out great for them.
Yesterday I was with my 15 year old friend whos pregnant and we went to illegals and the guys we were with had some alcohol.
She started to drink some and by the way shes a month and a half pregnant.
I yelled at her and pretty much she pissed me off like I wanted to slap her at the time.
like how could she do that to her kid and everything she said shes keeping it but she does drugs and she drinks alcohol like every night.
So she agreed to not doing anything but earlier she was drunk again and our other friend which she was with called me to go get her because she was like really messed up and she almost got raped and some really bad stuff.
I just really don't know what to do about her because I really want to help and I'm so worried about her I don't want this to go on anymore.
Any ideas?
I was in the same situation once. You need to get her help for that. It's certainly not healthy so if she isn't going to take action after your warning, get an adult.
But tell her doing that can run the risks of mental retardation, premature birth, cystic fibrosis, and other conditions. Warn her that if she doesn't stop the baby will eventually either die or get seriously hurt. You probably told her that but tell her the risks she is putting her baby in. And if she will be that selfish, she can actually go to jail for it. In some peoples' eyes, killing your own baby (in the womb) is murder. So hopefully she sees that.
Though some times your own words won't convince her enough, so get someone you trust and get her help.
I hope everything goes well with you and your friend!
how do facial masks help your skin?
It removes dead skin cells, it cleans out the dirt in your pores, it refreshes and smoothes the skin, and it gives your skin an even complexion.
But there are all kinds of facial masks for specific things, like there are ones out there for dry skin, acne & blemishes, and for uneven complexion, but generally they do those kinds of things.
is there any websites or anything that can show you what your kids might look like? like even if its not 100% legit just for fun?
I totally agree with the columnist below me. It's extremely hard to determine what your child will look like, even if given all your physicial characteristics while someone of your opposite sex will give them out. Even having that, it comes out totally random! A good example would be having two kids (excluding twins) the two kids will look similar to their biological parents, but they will still look differen, even if you have 1,000 babies. So you can't really determine it. Or at least do it somewhat accurately.
More information you can find about this here: http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=48
I did try to look up the games you were looking for but found nothing. So I tried looking up by different keywords, but yet nothing. I am sorry though.
i have this bleach stuff (jolen hair bleach) to lighten my eyebrows but when i use it sometimes it makes my eyebrows orangeish. i would go get them done but i never have time to go out and get it done. is there anything else i can use to lighten my eyebrows
You can use eye brow pencils. It's temporary and easily removable but it's really effective. There are light eye brow pencils out there to lighten them.
Hi, I am only 10 and i am overweight I weigh as much as my 14 year old sister does i really need to find a healty diet.dou you know any that i could you as a kid?
Thank you for choosing me to answer your question!
Actually, someone as young as you should just first stick with the Food Guide Pyramid. Getting your 3-4 servings of fruit;6-7 servings of grain; a little of meat; and a couple of servings of poultry and dairy.
What really helped me was was eating several small meals a day rather than 3 huge meals. small meals every 2-3 hours can keep you full longer, and you'll eventually start eating less.
If you are a junk food addict (you consume lots of soda and chips), then try not to completely stop because it's almost like a drug -- there are chemicals in junk food that can keep you eating it. So try to slowly decrease your junk food portions. It is hard though! I am a huge fan of soda but If I ever go 1 or 2 days without it, I really can feel the loss of energy and I start to feel sadder. It's weird.
Also, with exercising, it's OK to go lightly for awhile I once thought doing heavy exercise all the time makes it better, but actually it can just make you worse. Start with walking a couple miles each week, then add a half mile for every week. Also, switch to easy alternative foods: soy foods (soy milk, soy meat, soy protein foods), lowfat anything, anything that's less than 100 calories. I usually eat special K bars that contain less than 100 calories and they fill me up pretty quickly. So try those things.
And don't ever go to diet pills!! Except taking herbal ginseng (a natural herb that is safe for anyone to use) it gives you more energy to do things. Also, drinking green tea can actually help you lose weight. Technically, it burns fat. It's obviously not as effective as real diet pills but long-term use, including exercise and a healthy diet makes it work pretty well.
Never starve yourself, either. Many young girls around your age thinks it's better to starve so you will lose weight faster. Several reasons why you shouldn't:
1) It's not healthy! It messes up your periods (if you are a girl), including less of a chance of getting pregnant -- infertility.
2) In the long-term it will make things double worse-- literally. Starving yourself, and then eating again actually messes up your metabolism, so when you east again, your metabolism goes down, and your eating increases since you are so hungry. And you will gain twice as more as you did before you even starve yourself.
3) Not good for your overall health. It decreases your blood count, your bone mass (which causes osteoprosis later in life), it gives you better risks of getting certain diseases, your immunity decreases. So when you are around someone with a cold you will easily get it. Because since you don't eat, your immune system weakens. Lack of nutrients messes up other parts of the body (including the heart!!!)
If you want, try asking a Doctor or Nutritionist to see if you are old enough to take multivitamins. Certain vitamins help your body burn calories, burn fat, and give you more energy and stamina. I shouldn't recommend you taking it because for some it can cause poisoning. But you can stick with flinstones (nothing to do with age. These are actually safe for anyone!)
And don't be strict on yourself. Don't worry so much on the amount of calories, trans fat, fat, and sugar you are consuming. Just worry about your health and eat what's on the food uide pyramid, while paying special attention to what it says on how many servings to eat.
But since you are so young, never be too afraid to treat yourself to a little piece of a cake and a few cookies every-now-and-then. Celebrities do it, I do it, and anybody who diets does it. We all should be rewarded for our efforts.
Hope I helped! =]
Ok I was wondering what are some easy ways to get rid of a hangover QUIK! I drink, and I need some answers ASAP!!!
There are OTC pills out there that you can take to ease hangovers (you take them before you drink). Also, drinking mass water can rehydrate yourself.
From my experience, drinking water and eating lots of foods really got rid of it 3 times faster than if i went starving all day. Some good foods will be bread (toast is good at sucking up alcohol), any grains (which does the same thing), and milk can work, too.
everytime i open up internet explorer it either freezes or closes randomly, whats happening and how do i fix it??
I would have two guesses why so:
*You may have too much CPU usage in your computer. Try uninstalling or getting rid of unused programs you are using.
*It could be a virus. Try to get a Virus protection program.
You could go to what the columnist said below me. But of course you'll need internet for that. You really should contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to help you out. They're really helpful people.
I have a Nokia 6102i or somehting like that. It has a radio feature and I am not osure of what it means when it says it needs an Enhacement For it to work anyone know what it means?
I have the same phone. The enhancement you need is the phone headset. You can get it any phone accessory store nearby.
omg. the other day ifound out that my friend likes this kid that ive liked for ever. she asked him out and said no. he also called her a fat pig. he also likes me but i dont know what to do.
Well first thank you for choosing me to answer your question! =]
Well foremost you should try talking to your friend and she how she feels with what he said to her. Try to tell her it wasn't meant-to-be anyway if he would turn her down like that. But also ask her to it's OK for you to go out with him. Or you can go hypothetical and say, "well.. what if I went out with him? Would you mind? If so, why?" If she does mind or not, tell her guys shouldn't affect a friendship. A true friend would may be a little upset that you asked but would trust you and agree to let you date him. Also try to tell her that you liked him for quite a while, and tell her that he has liked you for awhile. Don't say it directly, because then she'll think you are being rude about it.
Don't ever go behind her back and go out with him, while your friend does not know. Your friend will go through more heartbreak and betrayel. Be open and honest with her, and agree that you can probably find a guy she can date, so it can go well.
However, try to give her some time before you ask her if she is one of those sensitive kind of people. If she is more easy-going, then you should have not much of a problem with asking. But be sure to be nice and empathetic about it.
