Me & my friends played a prank on this girl in my school that was picking on me, and she turned us in. Yesterday, I wasn't in school and the guidance conselor called all my friends down to the office, turns out EVERYONE was sayen I did it, even my best friends. I did do most of it, but not all of it. & I admitted to it. Are they real friends?

They definitely aren't your real friends because they should of said that they were involved in this too and not saying that you did it. Why don't you talk to them and ask them why they didn't say they did it also? Hope I helped :)

I heard that early signs of pregnancy dont occur until after a missed period. Is this true? If not, what signs are there that you might be pregnant in the few weeks before your next period. Thanx

I'm not sure about that because you can get morning sickness a few days after you had sex. Some of the signs are morning sickness, eating more than you should, gaining weight, a missed period, and other signs like that. Hope I helped :)

Yup, drinking a lot of water does increase your metabolism and if you're cold, then you have a faster metabolism. I have always thought that wasn't true but it is. Hope I helped :)

Hey! okay well i know this is kind of gross but i sweat a lot! Whether is summer or winter it's horrible, especially wheni wear tight t-shirts! I get huge sweat marks and i don't know what to do! I use antipersprent deoderant but it doesn't help. Does anyone know a good type of deoderant that isn't perscription that i could use!?! Thanks!!

You can use Certain Dri; it costs around $15.00 and you can get it at your local pharmacy. Even though it's expensive, it's definitely worth it. It closes up your pores and you won't sweat. Hope I helped :)

Wow, that's unhealthy. Umm, you need to eat a lot of foods that have a lot of carbs and calories in them so you can gain weight. You could also take some pills that will make you gain weight.

I was wondering, where do your wisdom teeth come from? Are they on both top and bottom, or only on the top.. or the bottom?

Your wisdom teeth are on the top and bottom of your mouth. They are just like your regular teeth except you get them pulled out when they grow. I'm not sure where they come from; they are just your teeth. Hope I helped :)

Ive been talking to many people and apparently no one has givin me the right answers....

~*~Confused!!!!~*~

You know if you're pregnant if you start to eat more often than you should, you start to have morning sickness, you miss your period, you start to get moody, you start to gain weight, and things like that. Those are pretty much the most common signs if you are pregnant. Hope I helped :)

how can u get ypur back ground looking alive and colorful? anyone no the website name i had it but i lost it i think its blackground 2000.com i dnt no its something like that! help me plz

To get your background to look "alive and colorful", you need to find a background that you like and copy and paste its URL in the "Page Background Image (URL)" section in your Column Settings. You do that by right clicking your background and then going to "Properties" and then you copy the "Address URL" and then paste it into your Column Settings. Here's the link to the website that you're looking for: http://www.backgrounds2001.cjb.net. Hope I helped :)

i will dye my hair medium brown (my hair is naturally dark blonde) with an at home kit---at first it will look REALLY good...but the color fades in like 10 days!! it makes no sense..how do i get the color to stay? (i use color protectant shampoo). do i need to get it professionally foiled?

I dye my hair using those home hair coloring kits also and that never happens to me. I think you should just get your hair professionally foiled so it will at least last longer. Hope I helped :)

Okay, well I just got mine, tonight...and I am NOT telling my mom. At least, not yet. I just have a few questions about periods....

1. How often should I change them?
2. Should I wear them to bed?
3. How many should I carry with me?
4. Where should I put them? I don't carry a backpack...or a purse.

That's it. Thank you! =D

Alright, you should change your pad every 3-6 hours, depending on how heavy or light your flow is. Yup, you should wear them to bed (just change your pad before you go to bed and you'll be fine). You should carry about 2-4 pads with you, just in case. Where do you mean where you can put them like in your house? If you mean that, then you could put them in your closet or in a drawer, underneath everything. These are pretty much your answers that you are looking for but if you need to know anything else, feel free to ask me! Don't forget to mark your calendar so you know when your next period will come. Hope I helped :)

I'm thinking of getting bangs. Like not the kind that goes all the way around and is in front. Side bangs I guess you could call them. I part my hair to the side. I have brown hair, and it's a little past my shoulders. It's straight too. Do you think that this is a good idea? I don't want them to be extremely long though or anything. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and if so does this sound like a good idea or do you think it will look good?

Yup, it's a great idea. My friend has this similar hairstyle and it looks so cute. You should definitely do it! Hope I helped :)
