ok my skin is really dry becuase i just started proactive...i dont know what to do becuase i have a dance in like 5 hours! its really really dry and a little pealy! i need help ASAP give me good advice I rate HIGH
-worried

That's exactly what ProActiv did to my skin. The best advice I can give you, is to switch to a different face cleanser. Perferrably, Noxema. & Then use a acne free moisturizer, "clean & clear" around 6 dollars at the pharmacy! (:

Have you tried Carmex? If not, you definitely should. It works like magic. (:

hey well i really like this guy but im shy and i kno like the only way i can probably get him to like me is to talk to him so like wut are some things i can say to him during class or in the halls?? thnx

Hehe. Well, if I were in your position, I'd probably go up to him and say, "Hey, oh my god, I really love your hoodie, they're my fave band." or "Hey, I really love your hoodie, that's like my favorite store." You know? Like brands/bands/colors. Whatever. hehe! But, maybe you should try that if you're just passing him in the hall. Or, in class just ask him how to do a problem or ask him if you can borrow a pencil & he'll give you one hopefully and just like give it back to him. And smile (:

Hehe, I know I'm not great at this. But, is this the first time you're going to be actually talking to him? Or have you talked to him/hung out with him before? If so, maybe bring up old memories that yall had together! Good luck!

Would you take offense if your gf/bf said that although they find you attractive, they would never want to see a "Picture" of you, or see you in your underwear? I'm sure you can guess of what nature.

My gf said this to me and I felt offended. I don't really know why. I guess it's no big deal, really. We were only kidding around and she said that. I'm pretty insecure about my looks, which doesn't help I suppose. So would you take offense, or am I making a big deal?

I personally don't think you're making a big deal out of it, but in a way I'd sort of take it as an offense. See, your girlfriend might be shy & she might be scared that if she sees you in your underwear or "it" she'll feel pressured into doing something that she doesn't want to do. It honestly depends on how long you've been dating, if it's like 1/2 months then you shouldn't be making a big deal out of it. But if it's like 6 months + maybe you should talk to her about it. & Reassure her that you aren't going to make her do anything she doesn't want to!

I really like this kid Chris, and I've liked since about the summer before 7th grade. (I'm in 8th now) Well, he asked me out in the beginning of 7th grade, but I said no. I kinda just freaked out because he would've been my first boyfriend. But now, like a year later, I still like him and regret saying no. He has a girlfriend now, and they've been going out for like two months, but like today, whenever I passed him in the hall he would look at me, and then I'd look at him, and he'd look away. I don't know if maybe he likes me atleast a little (I hope so) or if he's just sending mixed signals? I mean he has a girlfriend (Which I think is really stupid because she's always with other guys and he's with other girls a lot too) But I really like him!! I just wondered do you think I might ever have a chance with him? Or do you think he likes me at all??? Thanks a lot =)

Oh and you're really pretty =)

Aww thank you so much. (:

I totally understand where you were coming from last year anyways, about the whole first boyfriend thing. So, I don't blame you for making that decision, & I don't think you should be mad at yourself for it either! If you are. :)

I think of course, there's definitely a chance that you & him could be together again. It must mean something, I mean he looked at you and then noticed you looked at him & then he looked away, that's a dead give a way that someone likes you. He must remember you & remember how he felt when he asked you out.

Although you said no, I think there could potentially be something there. You should definitely talk to him more. & Catch up on all the old times, and maybe eventually he'll like you as much as he did before? Or he'll tell you (if he does now.) Hehe, take care.

i'm 13yrs.old and a girl. is it bad to feel.... well happy if a guy makes comments about your boobs and butt or touches it?

No, it's not unusual. Compliments make people feel happier about themselves. So, no it's not unusual. A lot of girls/guys feel the way you do. (:

[view]

well my x boyfriend loves to talk a lot of crap about me and laughs when i get hurt but some of his friends tell me he still likes me but i do not know whato think please help me sincerly confuse!

He might like you, and he might not. But honestly, you won't know until you atleast ask & try and find out. Supposebly if a guy picks on you, he's just trying to flirt with you, y'know? So that might be what. But, I don't know. If a guy picked on me, I'd be super pissed & that's not a great way to catch my attention. (:

I've just been wondering, how do you know if you're going to be left-handed or right handed when you're born? Is it that you just tend to use your left hand/right hand more than the other than you become left handed or right handed? Or does it have to do with muscles? And what about those people who are ambixterous?

It's which side of your brain is the strongest. See, if your left side of the brain is stronger then your right, then you write with your right hand. & When your right side of the brain is stronger then the left that's when you write with your left hand. (: So basically.


Right side = Left handed. (:
Left side = Right handed. (:

No, losing weight has absolutely nothing to do with having dimples. I've always had them.

i first got my period in 6th grade i have had non stop discharge since and it alway stinks down there and right after i get a shower and wash down there it still stinks does any one know how to get it to go away?

Okay seriously. I'm going to lecture you BIG TIME about this, because I know A LOT about bacterial infections, hehe. Trust me. =/

I've unfortunetly been and am in your situation right now. & I know how horrible it actually is. But, I honestly wish I could tell you what's caused it. But I can't. It doesn't matter how many times you wash it or how long after you shower until it smells. Like you have bacteria inside of you right now, and you need somewayy to get it out. =/ This could possibly just go away from drinking a lot of fresh water. Because it might flush away the bad bacteria, but then again it might not. I've been in your situation for a really long time, and I know exactly what you're going through. But you need to tell someone about this RIGHT AWAY, like your mom or sister. Although it'll be embarassing at first, it's like the only choice you really have because you don't want to smell gross n have discharge for like the rest of your life do you??

I'm actually going to the gyno next Monday, so if you want IM me @ nainerzzz, & I'll tell you how everything goes nn stuff. I'm hella nervous though, hehe. =/

IF you clean down there TOO MUCH, that could potentially make it worse, so try not to like use soap & body wash too much. & Changes in your diet, like adding Vitamin C more to your diet, might change that too. But seriously you need to tell someone about it, because that's really the only way you can get it treated. :( I'm sorry, and good luck to ya!

i shave "down there" but i keep either cutting myself or getting those little red bumps

i used a new razor but i cut myself and im extremly careful and if i shave with the way the hair grows it doesnt get it all..

can someone help me with this?

il rate 5 to everyone who isnt an ass.

(: I sure can hehe. I'm jk. Well I'll try & tell you what I do. Make sure that you're shaving in the opposite direction that your hairs are growing, because the more you go over your hairs, the more worse it's going to be, you know afterwards? It might be sore. After I'm done shaving, I put rubbing alcohol all over where I shaved (which is everywhere) so there. But try not to get it inside because it really burns. Ouuuch =/ Hehe. After the alcohol drys, I put baby powder on it, and it says smooth like until the hairs start growing back. & Make sure you always use a new razor before you shave down below. Hehe. (:

ok so me and my boyfriend were going out for exactly 2 and a half days. I thought our thing was going great untell the 2nd day. I went to fnl and the next morning I got a call from his X GIRLFRIEND saying he hated me and he did not wanna be with me and he needed a brake after two and a half days!! I cryed so much because i really liked him and i don't understand what i did to deserve this!! Please help me and this is the 4th time we have gone out is it over or wat?

Wow. Well are you sure that his ex girlfriend wasn't just playing a trick on you? Maybe because she's jealous that you're dating him. Honestly hun if it's the 4th time yall have dated, I really don't think you shoud keep putting yourself through this. & if it true about this boy saying he didn't want to be with you anymore. Don't fret. There's plenty of fish in the sea & although you might think your life is over. It isn't. He's an idiot, anyways if he can't tell you how he feels to your face and has to get a friend to do it! ):

Ok well I'm just learning to skateboard, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any cheap but GOOD skateboards I could get. I mean inexpencive but really good boards. Thanks.

I don't know if you'd want to, but maybe for cheaper boards you could try amazon dot com? I don't know ANYTHING about skateboards, but maybe you could try it out, I'm sure it'd atleast have something that'd make you happy :) Or, maybe you could try searching google like "Cheap good boards" or something, and maybe a website will pop up? Just some ideas. (:

ok i have a boyfriend and we were talking about christmas and he asked me what i wanted you know and we talked about that and i asked him, but he said nothing bc he doesn't like to get stuff from girls, so he was like no really dont' get me anything. should i really not get him anything.. and does this seem weird at all?? Thx.

I think you should get him something. All boys say that, and that's there hint to, "I'm in desperate need of something, but I'm afraid to ask you!" Hehe. My best friend did that to me, and he kept saying how he doesn't like celebrating Christmas because it's just like more of a gimme presents, but he believes in the spending time with your family thing. So, he told me he doesn't really celebrate it. But, I'm still buying him stuff y'know? It's not weird, it's really common actually. Just please make sure you get him atleast a little something, like even if it's something like body spray hehe. (:

[view]

Yes.. it's the dreaded Christmas present questions. I have absolutely no clue what to get my boyfriend. Well, I was considering giving him a framed photo of myself.. would that be too weird? We're currently in an online relationship, so I can't take him out anywhere. He's 20 years old, by the way. Can someone help me out a bit there? Is the framed photo a bad idea?


Thanks!

I think since you two don't see each other that's a great idea. (: Maybe make him just like a small book about like your life & friends nn stuff so he can get to know you a little better. But, if you don't like that idea then the framed photo is an excellent idea. I know when I had an online relationship like a year ago when my boyfriend sent me a framed picture of himself, I loved it. & I was just so happy because it was so cute.

[view]

i'll have been going out with my boyfriend for two months exactly on christmas. what are types of things that would be appropriate for a gift for this amount of time?

Haha. Well what type of things is your boyfriend interested in? Maybe he likes football & has a favorite team, you could buy him a shirt or a hat or like something along those lines. Or maybe he has a fave band and you can buy him a CD or a shirt. I don't think you should really go overboard on spending a lot for him though, just because it's two months. But it's really up to you. Buy him just clothes, or something like that. I think you should spend anywhere around 20$ but nothing more! (:

I have a firend (if you want to call her that) that has been going aroudn saying that I'm anorexic. I'm 5'4 and 102lbs so yeah, I'm thin but I'm far from anorexic.


Well at school the guy I like came up to me and asked me if I was. I tired to tell him that I wasn't but he just told me that it was really gross.


He was talking to my sister online and she sent me their conversation and he said that he was planning on asking me out but the anorexic thing made him not.


I've had 4 other people come up to me and ask since him! I don't know what to do because this is all so stupid.

Your friend is just DUMB. I'm sorry but she is. I hate people that assume crap like that. ++ I think you should forget about the boy, because if he's just going to believe everything that someone says, he's not worth anything!

Tell your friend she's an idiot, and she needs to stop assuming that you're something you're not. Tell her that it's really been pissing you off that people come up to you saying you're anorexic and what not. Hopefully she will, & if not don't talk to her. She's stupid (:

how old do you have to be to work at subway.and if you can think oif any jobs a 14 year old can get please tell me.

ill rate a 5 for a usful answer

My sister used to work @ Subway when she was 17. I'm pretty sure that's the minimum age. But, I guess ages vary from Subway to Subway. So, you should definitely call to find out. I think you should try out this site; http://www.teens4hire.org/qa.asp It's for teens ageing anywhere from 14-21, looking for jobs. I'm not sure exactly what it is, and I can't tell you from experience what it does & stuff. But reading through it looks pretty safe & reliable. So, maybe you should atleast try it?

The most I think a 14 year old can do is, bag groceries at a market, babysit, & maybe bus tables at a restaraunt? :)
