HAH :]

advice

how do i get rid of a sunburn on my lips?? or how long does it take to go away? (i got it friday, today is sunday)

Try wearing a colored lipstick or something on your lips to make it less visible. You can't get rid of it though. You can only wait it out. Put moisturizing lipgloss on it like Vaseline. Next time you might want to try wearing an SPF lipgloss!(=

My best friend has been dating my ex boyfriend.She decided that she wants to dump him(thanx to me being her wake-up call), but she doesn't want to hurt him. How can I make her listen? He's a jerk, but she thinks it's her fault! She needs to hear me out. We are both 14 and he is 16. Help!

Well if she really wants to dump this guy, then just tell her it's not right to be going out with a guy out of pitty or feeling sorry for him! When he realizes that's exactly what she did to him, his feelings are going to be hurt even more!

Would making eye contact a lot and smiling at each other because we are both shy count as liking each other? It's just a simple question that I need the answer to. Please tell me.

I will rate the first people to give me an answer.

I would say most likely!

Hey it's me yet again with yet another problem.
There's this kid who I have strong feelings for, and we were into each other for the longest time. He just broke up with his girlfriend and he's miserable because he cared about her... gurr it makes me so jealous!
He's ignored me for the past month... just all of a sudden stopped liking me. I care about him SOOO much. Should I be mad for his ingoring me like that and going out with someone else... and just avoid him? Or try, now that he's single... to get his attention again????

Try talking to him and asking him what's the deal. If he's still going to be mean, then just forget about him! You can do better!

Okay my friend likes this guy, but they broke up and he doesnt lik eher at all..so she had a new boyfriend...and i started to like her ex so i told her so she wouldnt be mad at me..but she got mad and we are in a fight now...and then she broke up with her new boyfriend cause i like her ex.. and ithink shes gonna try and get her ex back so i dont have a chance but im not sure...i dont know what to do cause i was only trying to be a good friend by telling her that so she wouldnt have to find out if i like dated him

You two shouldn't let a guy come in between a friendship! Just promise her that you won't try to get with this guy if she promises to not to get with him as well.

Hi. I need some guy advice. There is this guy I really like, and have liked for quite some time, but I keep getting mixed signals from him. We are both seniors in high school. He is a little on the quiet side, and is really sweet. We have several classes together, and we have slowly become better friends, considering that we never really talked before the beginning of the school year despite having gone to the same high school for 3 years. So, we are friends now, and I am now good friends with his friends, and it seems like they would really like for us to get together, and one is especially encouraging it. He's friendly to me, and mildly flirtatious, but he's not the flirty type and doesn't go around and just flirt with everyone. I took the iniative to tell some people that I liked him, so that it would get back to him. I'm pretty sure he knows now, but I don't know what to do next. We hang out on the weekends alot, because our groups of friends are similar and they always get together. He's kind of shy and isn't the kind of guy who is always asking girls out. I can't even think of who is last girlfriend was, or if he had one. I really think we would make a great couple, and I at least want to give it a chance. I am somewhat shy myself when I am in uncomfortable situations or when I get nervous, but I am finally starting to feel comfortable around him. How do I get him to ask me out, or to be able to tell if he likes me?? Sometimes I think he likes me, and then the rest of the time he just leaves me confused. Please, this isn't just a silly little crush, I need some advice on what to do. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Try being up front about it to him. Tell him to his face how you feel about him. That way he has to say something back and he can't just pretend to ignore it. If he says he feels the same way, then that's great! But if he says that he doesn't, well at least you tried and you don't have to keep on wondering about how he feels.

My sister who resides in the state of California, and I in the state of Florida, has two kids one of which lives in Florida with me. My question is this: She has filed her income tax getting earned income credit when she didnt even have or take care of her kids. but got this benefit on her taxes and now has abandoned her kids. I only want someone with a law degree in family courts to answer this ?/ I would rather not have anyone answer than several people with NO law degree. thank you!

Sorry darlin', but I don't think there's going to be anyone on this site with a law degree.

14/f...my friend told me that she was going away this weekend so i didnt invite her over..bu then i saw her profile on AIM and it said she was at her other friends house..so basically she lied to me and i now i dont know what to do..i am afraid to ask her about it..and i really dont want to..=/

Maybe her friends house was out of town. But if it's really bugging you, then ask her about it. But since you don't want to ask her about it, just try your best to let it go.

Maybe you can still joke around, just nothing like what you said before. Try calling her and apologizing. Hopefully everything works out between the two of you!

breaking up with your boyfriend for his best friend...?

OR

still going out with him because he's a really good guy and you're afraid to break his heart...?

OR

what should I do, because my boyfriend is the most amazing guy ever, and he'd cry and be depressed for months if anything happened. But I just don't have feelings for him anymore, and his friend and I like eachother... help!

Don't go out with him for pitty! That's the worst feeling. But I wouldn't go out with his friend either since that would hurt him even more.

me and my best friend went ice skating together n there was this guy there that she has been talkn to online for a while but i just met him n i kind of like him. evidently so does my best friend. im really shy and shes just not at all so i dont have much of a chance n she can pretty much get any guy she wants but i like him too. when we were in the car goin home from it she told me that he was hers n that i cant have him n i just kept sayin why n then i told her that he said she was desperate (and he really did say that) because i was getting pissed off. after i told her that she didnt say anything to me for the rest of the car ride n when i walked out of the car i thawt(i wasnt sure) that i saw tears in her eyes. what should i do about all this? i rate 5s to answers that dont piss me off!

You should never let a guy come in between a friendship. So just call her up or talk to her in person and tell her that you don't want some guy to come in between you two. Hopefully you two could just laugh it off later. GOOD LUCK.

15/m there is this girl that i like a lot. the problem is she's 2 years younger than me and she doesn't live in my school district. we both play basketball in a summer league (different divisions) so we see each other sometimes. but neither of us are allowed to have a gf/bf until we're 16 and our parents are friends so they would probably find out if we started going out. i asked her out like a year ago because i liked her and i heard she wanted me to and she would say yes. but when i asked she said no because she didn't want her parents to find out. so i thought i was over her until earlier today. i went to her game and when i saw her i realized that i wasn't over her. i also heard that she still likes me. but i don't know what to do. should i make another move? what should i do?

I guess you could try again. But if she's no, then if I were you, I would wait until you were both 16. Or try to talk both of your parents to lower the dating age. good luck!

Bad posture runs in my family. My mom's shoulder is one higher than the other, and she constantly slouches. Ive noticed over the past year, i have been becoming the same way. I cant even stand up or sit up straight because it hurts. My shoulders are slouched, and ive already gone to the doctor to get it checked out. They said i dont have scoliosis (spelled it wrong), but how am i supposed to improve my posture if it hurts?

I think eventually it there won't be any pain. Just keep on trying to get good posture. Maybe you have knots in your back or something. Go to one of those back doctors (it starts with a C) and have them look at your back.

i'm not overly fat or anything but i want to lose some weight to feel healthier and i dont know what i could eat thats healthy and filling...what are some ways i could lose some weight (a school dance is coming up so i'm trying to lose some pounds as fast as i can!)quickly and in a healthy way (like no starvation diet). ThAnkS

Just eat your normal three meals a day. But don't snack. When you start to get cravings, just drink a whole bunch of water until your full. Don't drink any softdrinks either! And no junk food!

Okay so this guy and I have been going out on and off sine october and I loved him more than life itself yet he never really loved me. Well about a month ago he started to actually love me and I could tell. We went out for a little over a week and then I broke up w/ him. (normally he broke up w/ me.) I did it cuz 1.) I liked another guy who also liked me. And 2.) I think he loved me too much and was kinda corny. Well anyways, everyone thinks I should go out w/ the 2nd guy and I really like him and have for a while. I dont think I like the 1st guy yet I can't stop thinking about him. I am so confused. Which guy do I go with? Both like me!

Pick the one you like the most. Not the one who likes you the most. If you pick the guy that like you the most, then eventually you're going to lose interest in that relationship.

What does two stepping mean?

It's a dance thing. Watch that Ciara music video One Two Step. It shows a lot of two stepping.
