I'm going to be creating a website soon where I'm selling a product.
Something similar to birchbox.com, but more personalized and more than make-up.
Would this be a business? Would I have to do taxes or any other special businessy things?
I wouldn't be charging taxes, just a flat rate.
Is it illegal to buy products from companies to send them off to someone else? It's not like I'd be reselling specific products...
It would be like shopping for a gift for someone... except they would be strangers and I'd be doing it over and over again.
Please do more research. I'm in business, and I can tell you if you don't know this in the competitive world of business, it's not looking promising.
I'm not trying to be mean-but it's because I WANT to see people make a success of their business.
You need to register your business with the business directory-you never said which country you came from, but I guess it's the same in America as in the UK.
Once you've done this, then yes this will be classed as a business.
You'd have to sell the idea to the businesses you'd be purchasing the product from.
Like a pitch, you'd have to write to each company and offer a time and day to discuss a new business partnership with them. They may give you loyalties if it works out, but you have to ask them, because theres things like reputation to consider, and also whether they feel they want to associate their brand with a new venture.
When you visit them, be sure to bring with you a detailed business plan. You need to prove that the business will work, and that they'll profit at the end of it from customers visiting your website.
It terms of the idea, I think it sounds like it could work-you've hit the nail on the head when it comes to selling to the ever expanding online market.
So next steps: Specialize. Find a target market to sell to-if its makeup-what kind of women? Once this is established, look to getting advertising deals with, for now, local magazines/papers also targeted to that market. Good luck, please contact me for any more help by the inbox :)

i love a guy who has a gril and i hve told him how i feel and he hasnt responded on it he still acts as my frnd ,wht should i do
This wont be what you want to here, but you should leave him alone.
What's more, if you continue to pressurize him into getting with you he'll think you can't accept he's with another girl. This will drive him even closer to his gf and away from you.
Sometimes we want what we can't have-this is true of your situation.
But don't worry, there's plenty more fish in the sea-just because you think he's the best one at the moment, someone else will come along who WILL see you in that way, and crucially, who is single.

I feel like i'm in a prison made of my own limited abilities. I have difficulty remembering anything. I'm a very poor speller and my grammar is shockingly bad. I have extreme difficulty remembering basic mathamatical principals. I am truely inept at everything I do. There are so many things out there to learn and to do. I have recently started to study at a local college but found they had nothing to teach me. The only course that I felt had any merit is their math program which I'm currently enrolled in. The more I am exposed to people the more I realise how far behind I really am. Are there any modes of study that wil increase my memory? What about my spatial reasoning? My ability to work things out in a logical way?
I'm currently taking a basic math course at a local college and I am also slowly increase the quantity of books I'm reading. As well as increasing the quatity of books I'm reading a much more diverse range of books with different subjects and themes etc. What else can I do.
:`(
Firstly, don't be so hard on yourself. Before we begin, you're grammar is better than most people's on here!
I find that with learning, its a common misconception that there are naturally intelligent people. People develop intelligence by having the motivation to learn things, and the commitment to put all their focus into it.
I think you need to figure out what you enjoy? Are you logical? If so, then perhaps maths is the route for you to take, in a future career. If you're more creative, then perhaps English is more your thing. Take it from here.
It's good your reading books, this will help improve your grammar and vocabulary.
Now on to the memory side of things. These days, I find that most exams rely on understanding things, but mainly memory. I'm 17 myself, and have come up with some memory tricks that helped me to improve mine-they may do the same with you. They worked so well I am an A grade student. Here goes:
1)Think of your diet. There are certain foods and drink that are 'brain' foods. Fish helps with memory, and apple juice does to. http://www.ehow.com/way_5467236_food-memory.html
2)Think about training your brain. Just like a sprinter has to train everyday to get good at what they do, this applies to your memory. The brain is very complex and can trained into doing virtually anything you want to, if you're motivated enough.
Try this from the BBC, Englands website:http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/brainsmart/games/
3) Don't pressurize yourself. Research studies have proven that we take more things in that we find interesting. This is why I said earlier about doing something you're interested in-because then you'll be able to excel in that field of work as an adult, as you can read up on the subject.
4)Make it fun. Apart from English students and some teachers, I doubt many people know things about grammar. We know grammar rules-we use them everyday, but many people don't know anything about verbs, tenses etc. What I find helps is trying 'learn English' websites, they'll offer concise information that you can learn at your own pace. If you establish which kind of learner you are (auditory, visual,tactile etc) then you can design any revision activities around this.
http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/curiosity/topics/what-type-of-learner-are-you-quiz.htm
Whatever you do, don't have the attitude 'I can't do this', because then you actually wont be able to. Approach things with an open mind, like 'I may not understand all of what I'm reading about, but over time it will mean something'.
Hope I helped :)

Im a 13 year old girl is it legal for me to give a 14 yeal old a bj at 13?
No, its not even legal to have sex until you're 16.

Im a 15 year old boy from ireland and the title pretty much sumd up everything.im very horny all the time like most teenage boys and masterbate a lot (1/2 times a day).i am always thinking about sexual encounters with girls i see or my teachers and am obsessed with the idea of getting action off girls like fingering them or getting blow jobs (so are my friends) but it seems like girls dont get as horny and arent as interested as much as guys and none of them masterbate aswell apparently.all im wondering is if girls get as horny as guys at 15?
I think what you have to remember is that girls are more mature in their teenage years than guys. This is scientifically proven.
By 15, guys and girls want different things from a relationship. Whereas guys want anything physical, girls (bar the trollops) want anything that they can feel. They like to feel loved and feel wanted. So, whereas guys your age view relationships in terms of the physical stuff (anything from holding hands to sex)Girls desire a relationship that makes them FEEL good.
Its not that girls don't feel like this, but its well known that guys think about it a lot more. Also, I think at 15 guys focus on appearance a lot more as they focus on the present-getting a sexual partner NOW, whereas girls focus on personality.Guys tend to focus on personality though when looking for a long term partner.
Source:lots of psychology websites read over the years!

im a 13 year old girl can i have sex with a 14 year old boy qe both want it
Well, theres CAN physically and CAN as in am I allowed to.
Legally whether your in England or USA you're underage. Your questioning the matter, which means you have an element of doubt in your mind. Personally, I think 13 is far too young. You have all of your life for it, and soon you'll have exam stress, money stress, job stress to encounter. I think you should try to focus on something else to take your mind off this sexual urge that most young people feel pressurized into doing. Why not try to make sure you do well at school? Get good grades?
If you do end up doing it, then all I'll say is that virginity is a special and rare thing these days, and I just think its best to lose it to someone so it means something-not at the time but in the future as well.

I was wondering of it's okay to watch porn at my age. I really like it, and all. Yet sometimes I can't stop watching it and fingering myself.
Well, its very young, but then sex is in the media everywhere these days, so its only normal to be curious, and I guess porn watching would be the next step.
I'd try to stop if I were you. The reason why porn sites are for over 18's-one of the many reasons, is because by that age your deemed mentaly responsible for what you see. So, you'll understand that what the people in the porn video are doing is just a business-and they don't love each other like a proper couple does. Just like a teacher or a shop assistant, that is there job-once the cameras stop, they stop.
By 18 your deemed by the law to be able to understand this and kind of watch it but mentally distatch it from reality-with an understanding that no sex you'll have in your life is like that-its for entertainment only.
So I think you should cut down what you watch but slowly so its not a shock. If you just cant get over that desire, then try eating foods to decrease your sex drive. I mean, its good you're questioning what you are doing, but when you look back how young 14 actually is, you'll realise perhaps it wasn't the best thing to do.

So my dad hates me and he threatened to hit me. Then I ran to my room and slammed the door and he said I'd be in BIG trouble.. What do I do?! I'm scared now. Please help NOW this is an emergency!
P.S. He doesn't take apoligizes. Should I just stay in here for the next 20 years?
I don't know how old you are, but threats of violence are an offense so should be treated like one. If you are physically scared to leave your room then call someone-the police? A child helpline?
I also don't know why your dad wants to hit you. If you did something wrong then his parenting style may be more common place 50 years ago with a clip around the ear-but its not for anyone to comment on his parenting style.
If you did nothing wrong, feel he has an anger issue and feel scared for your safety at all, please get the relevant help.
I can only tell you what to do-from behind my computer screen all the way in England I can't do it for you-try talking to a counsellor-theres usually a free A&E mental health counsellor on stand by in all hospitals in my country anyway.
If you feel in danger-call the police.

Hey guys
My boyfriend just got his first car, its really nice too. Im happy for him but to be honest, im worried that this means it is easier for him to go hang out with other girls without me even knowing. This car allows him to be alot more free and mobile and i am not a needy possesive girlfriend but i have been cheated on many times by other guys so i have very bad trust issues.:( i want more than anything to trust him, but now that he has a car, he can pretty much get away with anything right?
Without being patronizing, in like 90% of adult relationships they have a car!
Its sounds like you have to tackle your trust issues head on. Has he cheated before?
I think its a question of perception really. In my view, having a car is a good thing because like you said he has more freedom. Therefore, when he does see you the relationship will be stronger as you wont be together all the time-you'll be very much living separate lives and the coming together again at the end of the day. This is good for a relationship to last.
I doubt your bf would use his new car to pick up girls-after all, it'd have cost him a lot of money, he has to pay a bomb on insurance if its a new car and he has his girl waiting for him back home.
I think try to hush the worries in your head for now else you'll go insane and it'll nag you all the time. Unless he does act strange and as if he is cheating, then its time to ask for help.

Hey guys
So i have a question...if a guy likes another girl or has been hanging out with another girl, will he be more talkative and happy to his girlfriend? (Texting-wise) or less talkative with shorter responses? Im just curious to know how a guy would act towards his girlfriend if he secretly is hanging out with another girl. So happy or kinda depressed like?
It depends on the guy-and how much he doesn't want to hurt you.
What I think the majority will do though, and this has happened to me, is ignore the current gf. By doing this, they're not totally rejecting the gf but not welcoming her anymore-so its the cowards way out of heir problems-to just not face up to them.
I think that it's more likely as well that the guy would be overly happy, because he may want to end the relationship on good terms-guys are like this-you know, to try to keep their foot in the door.
However, if he is depressed acting, its perhaps a sign that he's not getting what he wants from the current gf, but there is no alternative one, hence why he's abit miserable.
This is just based from my and other peoples past experience, but as I'm sure you understand, all guys are different.

I need help! I dont know what to put on my Babysitting flyer!!!!!!!!!! Can you help????
The first thing they tell you on babysitting courses is to not do leaflets as its dodgy-you don't want to arrive at a house where say theres a weird older brother. But if you still want to do a flyer...
Not your name-how about just your phone number.
You see, you don't want to expose yourself too much until you get interest, so I say the bare minimum-certaintly not address.
Try using words like 'fun' and 'friendly' and 'can provide references'-this is always attractive.
For me I just put experienced, because I am, but make sure you don't lie about anything you're not. They key thing people want to be able to gain from you is trust, so by saying you can provide references in the flyer, even jut from a teacher, that will help you.
Also, target the market correctly. Most people need a babysitter because they're going out, so they're spending money anyway. Writing words like 'affordable' will help you.
If I were you though, I'd just get your mum/dad to ask at work if anyones kids need babysitting, or perhaps your neighbours and their friends. Just thinking of security...

What skills are always in demand in developed countries?
Well, obviously it depends on the economy as to whether your skills are in demand or not.
Plumbers do well, as do electritions. Also people with science and teaching qualifications are sought after.
Also, for the creative industries like art, dance, drama, journalism, they look for people who can think on there own two feet, and can produce original content.

Question::
I Want To Be The Next Big Thing From Chicago. I Love To Sing. Music Is My Life, I Can't Live Without It. Everyday I Watch My Dream Fade From Within My Reach Because I Don't Know What To Do and Where To Start. I Cry Almost Every Day/Night Because I've Never Wanted Something This Bad In My Life. Everyone Believes In Me And They Believe I'd Make It But I Just Don't Know What To Do. Please Help Me! :'(
Hey!
Firstly good on your for having a dream-if you don't dream it, you wont achieve it!
So you're already on your way!
Now then, the user below has given you some pretty good advice. The reason why I thought I'd add my opinion is that a lot of the things suggested to you (youtube etc) other people do already.
I mean, how many times have you looked at the comments part of youtube and had someone pleading to subscribe to their channel?
The thing I've noticed about all big singers are:
1) They're in it for the right reasons. So you want to be famous? Often, record companies etc can see through people who are in it for the fame. So the first step I'd advise you to do is to put music first, making it big second. Why not sing in old folks homes, schools, something charitable. Your passion will shine through. Don't demand payment at first, if they like you, then I'm sure they'd give you tips. Include this on any CV.
2)Don't let it get you down. The thing is, if getting famous and singing is all you think about-you'll become vulnerable to it, like you'll become too self absorbed in it. Concerntrate on getting a good job/good grades (sorry you didn't say your age) and generally enjoying life. These days, many people who're famous are also grounded.
3) You need to keep it real. Understand that you wont become the next Anastasia overnight. Abit like the second point, but keep positive and your expectations low, and you'll always go upwards.
4) If you write songs (these days you have to write have the backing of Simon Cowell or be able to write songs!) then do something original. Like send them to small record companies, but say send it in a parcel not just over the internet, to make it look mysterious and inviting. It's what businesses do to get their latest inventions noticed.
5) Finally why not try to appear on local radio stations. Even just a voluntary one, for free, would expose more people to more of your music.

I'm 13 and I wanna cut. I'm gonna do it anyway so чou might as well let ме do it properly. So please don't tell ме not to. I wanna cut with a razor or with a knife or a scissors please help ме with one of those and tell ме how to take the blade out of a razor? Like a disposable one though if that's the one чou help with* thanks. And I want it to bleed a lot and not to much. And it can be on му stomach or му wrists
Please don't tell people who want to help you what advice to give and not to give. That's like you're not prepared to listen.
I'm just telling you that no one on here will tell you this, as you probably already know.
So whilst I wont tell you to not do it, as you don't want us to, I will advise you to see a doctor.
I just think if you were prepared to listen to people on this site tell you WHY you shouldn't cut yourself, then it'd be better. It's like you don't want to be talked out of it.
Please see a doctor.

My period affects my quality of life
I am bothered by the amount of bleeding & the pain that I have during my period
My period makes me feel depressed, tired or moody
My life would improve if I could decrease or completely eliminate my periods
I would like to learn about a simple procedure that can help me take control of my period
I am sure I do not want any (more) children in the future
I cannot use any birthcontrol method due to Chronic Allergies
I did reseach on NovaSure But I still need to be on birthcontrol & I cannot use it
I really need a procedure to help with my periods & something to protect me from having anymore children
Is sterilization my only option or is there another procedure for me
Wow! This sounds like me, only a few months ago!
Yes as you said sterilization is an option, but there is an element of risk with that, plus you never know what your intentions might be in the future, and how they could change.
I suggest see your doctor. I take tablets that are meant for women in the early stages of labour, and these help me no end. I wont say the name, but if you inbox me I will-don't know the restrictions about mentioning drugs on here you see.
As for the amount of flow, yeh you can get tablets for that too, to minize it.
You my be feeling tired/moody due to feeling slightly aneamic-if your flow is very large. Be sure to take iron supplements and drink plenty of water during your period take make up for the blood lost.
Take care, and book that GP appointment-its a very common complaint.

I'm 13 , female. Me and my sister are fighting alot. And my parents are tiers of us fighting alot. I don't really know what I can do to talk to her about how I feel about us fighting all the time. I tell her I lover her. But she tells me I don't love her.
Hey,
So firstly thank you for inboxing me.
The key thing here is motivation. You want to change right? So for things to progress any further your sister has to want to change too.
So you need to just start again-as clearly communicating by talking doesn't make things progress. Why not write a note? This would be a different approach, and will make you look like the mature one.
I don't know how old your sister is. If she's a lot younger than you then let your parents sought it out, if she's your age or older then take it into your own hands.
I have a twin sister, and from time to time we do argue. But we always make it right again. We do this by being there for each other. So, if its been a bad day at school for her, I'll try to make her feel right. If I have relationship problems, she'll come and be supportive to me.
I think you need to take the initive and be like, enough is enough. Put aside your own needs of a loving sister and be the loving sister for her. If you stick at it, then you should get it in return.
But yeh, start with writing a note, to try and establish whether she does want to have a more mature relationship with her sister. If not-don't worry-sister quarrels always blow over and when you have the stress of boys, exams and jobs to worry about-she'll be like your best friend!
If she does want to 'start again' then why not do something fun with her? Many people struggle with seeing their sisters interest shift from Barbie and swings to boys, exams and going out.
Why not try a fun shopping trip?
To get out what you want just like any other relationship, it takes time and effort.

15/F
I guess it's not very uncommon for a high schooler, but my friend seems to have big communication, self-esteem, and hypersensitivity issues. She can't handle any sort of conflict, preferring to let relationships go before confronting anyone. She's unable to face any sort of criticism or serious conversation without complete withdrawal or a breakdown. She refuses to believe in any compliment and hardly initiates contact in any of her friendship, but gets upset if her friends seem closer to each other than her. I first realized that she may have problems when during an 8th grade sleepover, we drew on her face when she fell asleep and she got angry because she felt ganged up on. She didn't tell us any of this, but instead acted perfectly fine. She barely spoke to us for a few days (which is normal for her), and we started getting angry. Later on, when everything was okay, I made a reference to the sleepover without much thought, when she started crying and admitted that she cut herself during that time because she knew we were upset with her. According to her other friends, she has cut before, especially during arguments with her family. Her parents have not been able to give her much attention, due to their jobs and the fact that she has two older siblings. She seems to take care of herself most of the times, making most meals for herself and hanging out until late. Although that may be normal, that seems slightly strange to me and my friends (or it could be that we're overprotected..). My friend always says stuff about her siblings having been the ones to raise her and them being the only ones who care if she comes home too late or something. My friend's mom and my mom have separately told us that the friend seems to have some sort of emotional problem due to a lack of affection/attention. Seriously, it's difficult to try and talk to her without her starting to sob. She seems to lack a lot of coping skills. I don't know if this relates, but she has been bullied? (I don't know the seriousness, but I don't think it was that bad) for a year in a different school and molested (she didn't reveal too many details, from what I gather it was a one-time thing and not really serious touching or anything) by a older guy when she was much younger. She doesn't speak of any of this as a big deal, though. It's been around a year since I last heard she cut, but I don't see a reason for her to have stopped. She's leaving to homestay in another country with a stranger in May and I'm worried that with the intensified loneliness and probable conflicts (because she's switching from a strict private school to a public school, where I know people are going to be meaner and blunter) she isn't going to fit in and she might try something drastic. I might be biased because I heard to many boarding school and homestay horror stories because my dad was a therapist for suicidal boarding school kids. Three separate friends have discussed with me about telling an adult throughout the course of my 7-year friendship with this girl. I'm convinced that even if she doesn't do anything drastic, she's going to lead a very difficult life in the future. I want to know that before she leaves, I did all I could to help just in case something DOES happen. However, I don't know if it's my business. I don't even what I would say, since I'm not even sure if she cuts anymore. Should I tell the school counselor? How much should I reveal? I think she may have some sort of emotional disorder...Also, what if she turns on me and spreads rumors or my secrets? Help! A friend and I are planning on talking to the counselor tomorrow.
Very long question here. Once, I went to my school counsellor, and it turned out my problems were more because I was worried about my friend.
All the counsellor can tell you is to encourage your friend to see her. The thing is, even if you describe what you just did on here, unless its a crisis situation, you can't make some one see a counsellor.
all the counsellor will do is tell you that its all private, and perhaps to tell you to see her.
I think therefore its pointless to see her, and its best to skip this step and encourage your friend to go directly.

Hi! So last year I met this guy out who turned out to be a friend of another guy who I had a coffee date with a few months beforehand though nothing actually eventuated with. The guy I had the coffee date with and I lost interest in each other pretty quickly and we were never physical or anything. Anyway, the second guy I really liked instantly and we hung out a few times and slept together once. I was leaving that city to go home for a few month so I slept with him quicker than I would have normally. I continued to like him even when I went home, however, he turned really weird just before I left. He became really flakey and would often ignore my texts if I contacted him or anything. I stopped contacting him and didn't hear from him for about three months. When I returned to the city I bumped into him at a bar. From then on he started contacting me again. I turned down his invites to "catch up" as I don't like how he just vanished the first time. After a few goes he seemed to give up and then tried again after a few months. Anyway (i'm sorry this is so long!) the past couple of months he has been almost everyday trying to see me and I've turned him down each time. The problem is I still really like him but how can you trust someone who can get any girl he wants (he is really hot) and hasn't stated exactly what he wants from me. I don't want to sound weird but telling him I am not interested in a friends with benefits situation, I am only interested in a proper relationship.
If you have any tips on how I get my message across that I am no longer interested in sleeping with him it will be appreaciated :)
Thankyou
I think first off you need to establish what he wants. To do this you need to ask him. Sit him down and ask him-its as simple as that, and above anything he'll like a woman who knows what she wants. I think if he doesn't want a proper relationship, you'll have to move on.
The best way to try and understand what he wants is telling him what you want.
You could write a note, and explain why you havn't seen him despite him offering. This is the mature thing to do, and in this note also say your relationship intentions.
If he wants to continue seein you knowing all this, then he'll get in touch. If not,then obviously he wont get in touch because his intentions were different to yours. In this case move on and find someone who wants the same things from a relationship as you. If you push to see someone who wants different thigns as you, the relationships not likely to last.

I am 13, I'm a female. I like girls but then I like boys at the same time. I was skating with a friend and she was holding my hand and I really liked that. And I told her I that I like girls and boys. She just looked at me really weird. I love her so much.
Ok. Great. But what exactly is the advice you need? What's the question you're asking?

am samtosh from india,am not happy with my life so i want to die ,tell me some way to painless die tell me about sleeping pills ,how much quantity we shuld take up for death and best sleeping name .and tell me after taking sleeping pilss we get sleep or we fell nervesness or do vomiting
I'll tell you about sleeping pills. You wont find a doctor anywhere who administers them unless its a last resort. You also wont find a doctor who will give them to you to die with.
However, you still need to see you doctor. You need to get to the bottom of why you're not happy with your life and work out a treatment plan to make you happier. It's a shame, but you know its a lot more easier and worthwhile to get help than it is to 'end it'.
