Q: What hair straightener would you MOST recommend?
Not just a CHI because everyone has one; I mean a really good quality flat iron.
A Tourmaline? A Metropolis?
And if you do recommend a CHI, what make of it? The turbo? The original?
Thanks so much.
i have a paul mitthell, it is 80 tho but i hope i helped because i have one and it works really good.

Q: Does anyone have any recipes (or links to recipes) for healthy snacks that are quick and easy to make?
Well, this really isnt a recipe but they are really healthy. Granola bars, no the kind with chocolate in them but you can by them with different things in it. hope this helps.

Q: I've never had a boyfriend, and I know for a fact this guy is going to ask me out this week. I want to say yes, but what do I do? Just say yes?
Well, if you really like him, then yes, say yes, but if you are having second thought, just tell him that you will think about it. Hope i helped and good luck!

Q: 14/f

Well i'm in the 8th grade, and I dont have a best friend... is that bad??? I'm not saying that I am lonely and I have no friends, I have plenty of friends.. just none of them are actually my BEST friends. Arn't best friends supposed to be there for you when you're feeling low? and they always come and sleepover and you always share secrets with each other? welll it seems like whenever I go up to my other friends, they are always busy with 'their' other best friends. It's like they have no intrest in me anymore. My brother just moved away to college and my cousin is staying with us for a while. I have a dog, could that be my best friend? I just feel like I have a lot of depression going on in my life and I really need somebody to talk to. yes, i know.......... I can talk to you on advicenators, but I need somebody not only for talking... but to share my happy moments with, a best friend
and I know you'll say talk to your family.... but the thing is.. both of my parents are ALWAYS working... they leave the house way earlier than I do... and the next time I see them is when i'm asleep. Its just not fair. My brother is in college, and my cousin is always hanging out with his friends or finding some excuse not to be in the house. I'm really sad that I dont have a best friend, and I'm a very busy person.... could that be the reason why I dont have a best friend? cause i'm always busy and they never have any time with me????????
You might say join a school activity and meet friends there... but TRUST ME! I dont make friends easily, lets just say I get SUPER SUPER SUPER nervous when I meet new people, or give a speech to a class. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! I FEEL SO ALONE.... I always see kids in the hallway, hanging out with their best friends, and I am really sad that I dont have a best friend there by me. WHAT SHOULD I DO????????????
OH AND IF YOU COULD: ANOTHER QUESTION= HOW DO I GET RID OF THE FEAR OF MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND GIVING OUT SPEECHES??????????????? THANKS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH... I KNOW THIS WAS LONG, BUT THANKS
maybe you should try hanging out with your friends more. Then get to know them in ways you didnt before. You can come closer to them and you will hang out more and you know, do things together. I was in the exact same situation but you know, the friends you have now that dont just come up and talk unless you start the conversation arent going to be the ones that you will enjoy. I know this from past experience. Just hang out with one of your close friends, (sit by them at lunch, talk on the phone, email, be class partners...etc...) Trust me, i did this and before i knew it, i had some friends. Also it's not nessicarliy bad to not have a BEST friend because you can still feel cheered up and they will be there for you. Just try it out. it dosent work on all people but some people it does, (including me) so just have fun with your life and make friends day by day. It will get easier soon. You can email me or whatever if you have any other questions, just feel free to ask them. I hope i helped.




Q: how much exercise is enough to keep you in shape?? i've been an athlete ever since 3rd grade, but recently i sprained my ankle and it turns out i have a chronic ankle sprain. my parents thought it would be best to take the season off, or just not play. i can run forever, but i just can't turn it. would running 5 days a week for 30 minutes a day on the tredmill plus crunches and the 6 inches stretch be enough?? i eat 3 meals a day and sometimes one snack, sometimes i don't have a snack. any opinions??

thanks!!
Well as long as you excersie for at least an hour a day you are pretty fit. It sounds like you are really healthy...its okay of you skip a day or two. I usually excersie 5 out of 7 days. well i hope this helps and keep up the good work. Sounds like your doing good.

Q: Alrite, Well i have recently been talking to this guy in another state. (for about like 2 months now). so about a month ago he told me that he like realli had feelings for me and asked me to be his girlfriend and i agreed. well, i realli love him alot and it sounds like realli dumb but we have already talked about like,getting married and shit..well it sounds like a cute little fairy tale rite? WRONG! ok i was just talking to him like 10 min ago on MSN and i was like, "do your parents know about me" and hes like, "yea and they fully support me. do your parents know?" and im like, "not yet" and hes like, "well u know your going to have to tell them"

so my question is how do i tell my dad (i dont have a mom) that i fell in love with a guy i met on an on-line chat room? Oh Yea, Did I Mention I Am Only 14. So Yea, Im 14 in Love With a 16 year old i met online in a chat room that lives in another state.....how do i tell my dad?

Much Love,
Danigrl1621
Ok...i dont think its possible to have an online relationship. I mean come on. You've never met so how are you going to get married? it sounds a little odd to me. Have you not heard about the criminals there are out there? It could just be a strange guy pretending to be 16, even if you think it isnt true. If i told MY dad i had a relationship with a guy i never met thats in a chat room thats 2 years older than me, i'd think he'd die. So..you may want to reconsider. I'm not trying to be mean and i know it sounds like i am but come on. A guy you never met and your in love with him? Just watch out when your in chat rooms, thats all i got to say.

Q: My boyfriend and I went to breakfast today and he kissed the waitress on the lips and she had a nickname for her. He insists she is is like a sis to him. They have known each other before I even met him. Am I too jealous, how should I react?
I would definatly be jealous! I would be that way if my boyfriend kissed a waitress on the lips. Tell him how you feel about that. He shouldn't do that!

Q: Ok well, we are about 17 and me and my girlfriend Britney have been going out for about three years now and i really love her. but i have no clue what to get her for christmas? usually i am pretty good at this stuff but this year i am clueless??? i have about like $250 to $300 to spend. Can someone please help me come up with some ideas for her? Thanks in advance !
You can never go wrong with jewelry! Get her a nice silver/gold bracelet, earrings, or a necklace. She will love it!

Q: ok everyone is saying that damius my boyfriend likes my bff rayquisha and i dont no wut to do stay with him or break up with him please please please help thanx



-confused
You should ask him if he likes her. Tell him you want an honest answer but dont yell at him or anything because it will make him uncomfortable and he wont tell you the wrong answer. If you ask him nicely there is a 90% chance he will tell you the truth. I hope i helped.

Q: Well I want to get gifts for my friends.
Im 13, some of them are 12, some are 13. And i want to get them a little somehthing for christmas.

Any ideas? anything under 10 dollars that cute? there all girls =D

Thanks in advance!
get them finger nail polish, lip gloss, hair accesories, maybe a purse and put all of it in a cute bag so they can look through it later and it will look like a lot of stuff. I always love getting those and i am 13.

Q: My boyfriend is 42 and I am 29. We have a great relationship except for the fact that he is into alot of porn and recently i looked at his computer and he was on a website called hornymatches.He put in his profie that he is looking for casual sex. i was shocked he has a lot of female friends and he feels like the sex on the net is an escape. he said he would give it up but i have set up spyware on his computer and he is still checking those sites, little does he know i have changed his profile to say that he is gay!!! ha ha i am a very attractive woman and he is older, do you think he will cheat eventually? i guess looks arent everything, he assures me he will never cheat and i am going out of my mind and doing alot of investigating and worrying. HELP
Dump him. He want to cheat on you with people he dosent even know! also, you dont deserve to be treated that way!

Q: i have been throwing up or starving myslef for a very lonf time...i do it in periods...one week im really good and healthy and then i let myslef slide and i eat all this junk and throw it up...it makes me feel very dpressed and i withdrawl from everything...is there any health ways ...like small things i can do to get better or make soem kinda of change
your deppressed because your not happy about your body. Dont do that to yourself, no one deserves this kind of treatment to theirselves. You need to excersise and eat right and dont starve yourself or throw up. Trust me, you will get into nasty eating disorders that could change your LIFE forever! Please take this advice. Even though i dont know you, you dont deserve to be like this.

i hope i helped.

Q: 13/f I met a boy on the internet beck in february. I used to like him but now I dont really like him or want to talk to him anymore. I told him once I shouldnt talk to strangers online but he said, "but you know me! I'm not a stranger!" I said well you can never be to safe. He said, "but you saw a video of me! and it had my moms voice in it!" we got into an arguement. I really dont want to talk to him anymore, he doesnt really seem to understand anything and can be rather annoying and brags about his girlfriend which i dont have the time to listen to.

So, today, I asked, "who is this" and pretended I never met him before. The convo ended with let me know with "Alright let me know when you found your brain, see ya" Was this a good way to get rid of him? Please help
better be safe than sorry!

Q: kay well people call me a lezbo for NO reason. i absualutly love guys but...people call me a lezbo and i have NO idea why. like im not the one thats like constantly dancing with girls at parties and like "experementing" with girls. and its not like i check girls out or anything. they just call me it and it really gets me upset ...and pisses me the HELL off. so like why the heck do you think they sayy im a lez, what can i do to be "unlezboish" and what can i do to make them stop (its just people in general) PLEASeeeE help.

- and dont say you should care what people think of and stuff because if it were you, you would
well if they are calling you that for no particular reason, it might be because you are easy to pick on or they just are calling you that. Stand up for yourself and tell them that you arent. But dont make them think they get under your skin!


i hope i helped.

Q: I lost touch with my dad when i was 9 (long story) last year was the first time i got in touch with him. i also met aunts that i never knew my whole life. before we lost touch i last saw him a few weeks before i turned 8. the whole thing is i'm jamaican and my dad left jamaica when i was 2 then came back to visit when i was 4 . so i really don't know him. he left jamaica and cheated on my mother with another woman that he has 2 kids with now (10 and 11) i finally came to the US when i was 6 but i lived in new jersey and my dad lived in florida and he still does currently. after losing touch i moved to conneticut but last year on the internet i found his name and phone number. i was so excited that had always been something i yearned for over the years. now it's a year later and he still hasn't visited me. i haven't ben able to go because of the situation at home. my mother is a single parent and has another child my younger sister. she couldn't afford for me to leave when she has to work. so i have to wait till some other time to visit my family. my aunts came up to see me last summer but my dad hasn't. i just became disinterested in him over time because i thought he would have been here by now. i haven't seen him in 10 years i'm 18 now and i think it's messed up that he wants to come to my graduation but couldn't come here just to visit me. he also works at the airport in miami so that's not a problem. he stopped calling me which i don't care about because it's akward talking to him when i don't know what to say. my aunt's always have somthing to say when i try to point out the fact that he hasn't visited me yet. he has 2 other kids with him and i feel really out of place the least he could do is visit he sends money every month but it doesn't make up for everyhting else. does anyone else beside my bestfriend see's where i'm coming from?
Yes...i know it must be hard not keeping in touch with family members. I would die if i never talked to my dad. If you want him to come to your graduation, then talk to your mom about it. If you dont because you havent had a relationship with him, then thats fine to. Whatever you want is your decision. Your right, money dosent make up for all those times, it just depends on how you feel about it. I hope i helped.

Q: 13/F

Okay, my boyfriend and I haven't even been going out for a WEEK, and he's already kind of hinting that he wants to have sex with me. I know I shouldn't, and I won't give in, being as that I am Catholic and have religious morals. But, I was with him yesterday and he had an erection. It kind of freaked me out, because we weren't even kissing or anything, and I really don't think I'm ready to have the same type of relationship he wants. And also, yesterday, he showed me condoms he had bought, and that pretty much just took me over the edge. He told me if I really wanted him to just stop everything, he would, and I do believe him, but when I'm trying to tell him no, my shy-side won't let me say anything. Is there any way I can simply tell him no and I want to wait for things like this until I'm older?
Tell him your not ready for that kind of commitment yet, by the way your only 13 so hopefully he will understand. Tell him that you dont want to do that with him and that you can have a great relationship without that. If he dosent like that then maybe you and him should just be friends. Dont ever let someone push you to do things you dont want to do. Because then, your not yourself anymore.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Q: Me and my GF have been dating for 2 1/2 weeks now. It was love at first sight for us. We talk hours a day and see eachother alot. Last night she called me saying how she doesnt deserve me im way too good for her. Then later on she came out to say she wanted a week to think about things like if she's ready for this feeling, if shes safe from hurting me or herself. I freaked out by all of this and was going to go for a long drive but she called me back saying she loved me and to forget the whole week thing she doesnt want me doing something stupid. I tried to talk her into just doing it but now she won't. Then she asked me all these questions like what would you do if I left you, what would you do if someone had a gun to my head, what would you do if I said can we be friends. Then after I answered she said I just wanted to see how you truely felt about me and you seem to care alot. BUt my problem is how can I show her im not going to leave her and that she is safe with me. Her past has been rough. Her dad left before she was born and all her ex's hurt her bad. Im not like them and I respect her alot and just want this to last but idk how to show her anymore that im not going anywhere.
Make her feel safe with you. When you go places together, put your arm around her, or you know...things like that, say kind words to her. It's how you show your attitude toward her that she will figure this out and know that she is safe with you and that you wont hurt her.

Hope i helped.
