Q: Hey, whenever I get new feedback and I get 5's, my feedback average always gets lower instead of higher. For example, my feedback was 4.53, then I got a 5 and it went to 4.43. What's up? What should I do?
well if the average really is wrong then you should tell the admin. to check it, divide the # of ratings into the total # of points.

Q: hey im 12 and im having problems w/ mi face and blemishes on mi forehead.can u tell me how to keep mi face clear and free of blemishs.i hav kinda oily skin cause im greek italian and spanish..so its in mi blood..please help mewith mi confidence!!!!!!!!!!!!
heyy! first off all, know that everyone gets them! even though your a little young, you're probably just maturing faster.

get cleansers/washes/ointments with benzoil peroxide and salicylic (sp?) acid (10% at the most). if those dont seem to work, i would recommend going to a dermatologist and they can perscribe some REALLY good stuff!

and, if you dont like how you look, get coverup! like neutragena coverup sticks in your color and poweder too! when you feel good, you also look better too!

also know that you probably notice them a lot more than other people who are just looking at you!

i really hope this helps!- :)
and you can ask me anything else just by putting it in my inbox again!!

Q: My boyfriend just fingered me, and I have a question..

How long does cum stay on their hands after they jack off??
until it falls off? but acutally sperm DOES live when it hits air.. dont believe when they tell you differently because it really can live outside of the vagina.

Q: all my friend but one are going away this summer. theres only so much time i can spend with one person and not annoy them or have them annoy me. i was wondering if anyone can suggest some things that i can do to keep myself entertained this summer. 14/f and i dont have a whole lot of money to spend, so something that requires low spending would be good. obviously i have alredy thought of going to the movies, going to the beach, etc. all the regular things. i'll rate 5's for creative and good answers.
write a story, organize your closet, clean (hah), create a work-out plan (and do it), *paint old furniture with cute designs, draw pictures, write a song, think of crazy recipes and cook them, do crazy things with your hair, get a job around the neighborhood, go on bike rides to fun places like starbucks, read...

hmm... if i think of any more i'll let you know!

hope this helps- :)

Q: i just had sex like a week ago and im pregnent!wat do i do?
if your not ready for a baby, get an abortion. or, you can consider adoption. OR if you and your partner are ready for the baby, have it and raise the child. you really only have those 3 options

hope this helps- :)

Q: Okay so Tuesday morning I woke up and I found that I had a bunch of bumps on my face. It kind of feels like sandpaper, and it's only on the edges of my face. Like my jawline and the top of my forehead and the lines around my nose and eyebrows. Does anyone know what this is? And how can I get rid of them? Thanks to anyone who answers!
hey i get these too sometimes. if there isnt stuff inside (like a pimple), then they could be dry skin bumps. to get rid of them, lotion, lotion, lotion. also exfoliate those areas before so the lotion is absorbed easier. also, if you have one, the little at-home microdermabrasion thing works really well but theyre really expensive.

hope this helps- :)

Q: ohk so i really wanna tone down my stomoach ... can anyone be kind enough to give me tips like 20 crunches then like blah blah blah ... lol yeh im the kinda step-by-step person thnx =)
do 20 crunches, then on the 20th hold it up for 5 seconds. then do 10 more. thats one rep. do 3 reps with a 30 second break inbetween each one. then follow the 3 reps by 1 rep of bicycles (20 or so). if you do this twice a day you should see results pretty quickly!

hope this helps- :)

Q: I have a dresser,bed, a bookshelf that's attached to my wall and a desk. My furniture is like paper wood color and I really really hate it. I was wondering if I should throw away my nancy drew and crappy books like that, but my mom won't let me, what should I do. My closet doesn't have room for my shoes either. I don't know what to do. If I put my magazines on my books shelf I have over 50 fashion mag. my dad said my bookshelf will have a breakdown.Please Help I rate really high for any answer that helps!
well i would have it so that just your magazines are on the bookshelf. so if you can, ask your mom if you pack up the nancy drew books if you can keep them in the closet. it would be a compromise that you wouldnt get rid of them COMPLETELY and theyd be there just in case.
(and do you really need ALL those mags? i mean since theyre fashion ones, you could probably get rid of the older ones)

with the shoe thing, get a shoe rack!! seriously theyre amazing! one that either hangs on your closet door, or if thats not possilbe you can get one that goes on the ground pretty cheap too at like target or walmart.

if your furniture isnt the color you want it, can you paint it? if you can, you should do like a solid black color and then cute rainbow polka dots or zig zag lines!

hope this helps!!- :)

Q: Ok, so I've liked this guy and I've liked him for at least 4 or 5 months. We are pretty good friends, like we hang at parties (if he doesn't have a gf at the time) and we talk to each other online ALOT. Well, he doesn't know cuz he's had on and off relationships and I'm scared if I tell him it will ruin our friendship. But that's not what I'm asking advice on. Well, I told a best friend of mine that I liked him a loong time ago, like when I started liking him. And I still like him to this day and this friend told me she has started liking him too. And she tries to brag to me about funny conversations they've had and I feel like she's taking what I have of him. and i just don't know what to do....:(...I'll take any advice you have...please...
hey well if you told her 4 or 5 months ago that you liked him, lets be positive and think that she just forgot what you told her about him. if this is the case, maybe bring it up casually again and be like 'remember i told you i liked him, well i still do'

if she remembers and shes just trying to make you jealous then thats really stupid and she doesnt seem like a true friend. if hes around both of yall, then be the first one to go up to him, dont let her go for him first!

good luck & hope this helps!- :)

Q: Okay, when I shave my underarms, it still looks dark afterwards where I shaved. How do I fix it so that it doesn't look like I have any hair there? Thanks so much to anyone who answers!
hey yeah you probably just arent shaving all of the hair. make sure you shave against the grain but use sensitive razors and cream and stuff. or if you dont like the whole shaving thing try veet hair removal, nair is pretty strong. and i find veet to be more sensitive. (like the bladeless razor thing works good)

hope this helps- :)

Q: I'm moving soon and I want to give something to my friends to remember me by, like pictures and stuff. Do any of you have any ideas? Thanks.
make a CD with like 15 songs on it that have some kind of meaning for your friendship! for example if ya'll have an inside joke about... barbies (i dono!) then put the 'barbie girl' song on there.. lol

hope this helps- :)

Q: hey i have trouble with planes. they bother me like, im so nervous i dont have any fun! in about a week i have to ride on a plane BY MYSELF along with my sis but still ive never done this before plus i cant stand planes. can anyone give me tips on how to actually sorta enjoy a plane ride? im just like AHHHH!
please help! i rate 5's for great advice!
hey seriously just DONT think about it when you get up there! close the windows too! because that helps you not think about it. prepare yourself, always have something to do to busy yourself. bring reading material or something you can write in. just stay calm and im sure you'll do fine!

hope this helps- :)

Q: if you watch trl, you'll see all these teenagers in the studio.. so my question is.. how do you get to be on trl??

i'll rate high for answers that i like
well the studios are in new york, so if your in new york and you see that theyre filiming that day or whatever you can wait in line (im assuming) to sit in on the show. or there may be tickets available that they sell.

hope this helps- :)

Q: I know that when you get your license, they require you to bring proof of current enrollment and your recent attendance record from school. [You usually get that in the attendance office at your school.] But since it's summer, do they still expect you to get that? Also, in a letter from my school district [that i received from drivers ed course] it lists the documents and things I need to bring with me to get my license. No where does it say anything about bringing proof of insurance, is that also required or no? [By the way, I live in Texas and I already looked at the DMV website for these answers and couldnt find them anywhere.]
yes you still are required to get the proof of attendance. most schools are still open for limited hours during the summer but yeah. im not really sure about the insurance thing... but when my brother got his license, they just brought it just in case.

have fun getting your license!!- :)

Q: Well my boyfriend and i plan on having sex pretty soon and he wants to use 2 condoms for extra protection just incase... you know but do you think that's dumb and is there any kinds of condoms that are like extremely durable and are like guarenteed not to break or anything... please answer... thanx

-just asking...
yeah it does increase the friction so there are higher rates of them breaking. get one with spermicide because it kills the sperm (trojan seems trustworthy)! also, if you want you can use the 'personal condom chooser' lol

Q: I am getting my room put in the basement but the problem is that the room I'm going to be in has a door to the laundry room so people will constantly be going through my room. Is there a wall or divider type thing I can put between the two rooms that is cheap? If you have specific stores that carry such things, or ideas for ways I could divide the room, please tell me!
they have really cute curtains at pbteen and bed bath and beyond. i have a similar problem with our tv room and like the main hallway and i think it will be really cute. polka dots look really cute or just plain colors.

Q: I just got accepted 2 a very good school for advanced studies. In the coming year I want 2 Stay focused. Does any1 have tips for staying on top of grades?
keep a school planner that has all the homework you have for each day and when a special test or paper is due. also, take notes on everything! even if the teachers say you dont have to. when you get home, don't get distracted! make a special place where you do homework and study. work for about 30 minutes then take a break. then work again etc. don't let yourself goof off until you've finished everything! oh and stay ahead if you can... usually there is always something you can be doing thats productive (it sucks but its true)

good luck & hope this helps- :)
