I'm Samantha, 17, and I love to help others. If I'm not sure about something, I will tell you, but I will tell you all that I do know. =D

advice

What's the difference between a 'friend hug' and a 'more than friend hug?' Is there any way to tell the two apart? I have an inkling but just tell me what you think, it'd help my situation a lot!

friend hug is a loose hug, and maybe a pat on the back or something.. more then friend is like a sneezing hug and a never want to let go feeling.. hope i helped

im in 9th grade, 15, and im THIS close to going out with a 7th grader. he's 13. this is odd, because im not desperate, im just really attracted to him. and we like each other. but, is it worth it? and is that really odd? and, by the way, i don't care what people will say, that wouldn't be a reason not to go out with him. so any words of advice?

i think its fine. just think, when your in 11th, he'll be in 9th. people think eww he's in middle school, yeah, but you see seniors dating freshman all the time. i think its fine as long as you both like each other!

lately there's been a lot of pressure to get into drinking/getting high. im wondering if when you're high, can you control yourself in any way, like around parents? im basically asking if there's anyway to hide either of these, or if i'll just have to do it and sleepover at a friends that night.

okay, every time you take a buff, you kill 1000 brain cells. yeah you have billions and millions.., but still. i say dont do it. your parents will tell. the smell for one. your eyes will be red. depends on the person, some laugh and cant stop, you just dont act like youself. so, dont do it..

I want to have whiter teeth. what would be the best toothpaste to get for that? and what toothbrush is best?

buy Crest whiteing strips, there about 20$ but they work wonders. it takes 2 weeks for you to be completely done. but youll start to notice things in like 3 days. Buy creast toothpaste so you wont be mixing things. hope i helped

My daughter has just been given a leading role in a play that requires her to use an Ohio accent from the 1930's.

I have tried googling but it's not been very successful. Any assistance would be appreciated. If it helps, we're English.

Thank you.

well i live in Ohio, east liverpool. we all have differnt accents. but ohio doesnt really have their own accents, our talk is mixed in with all differnt kind of accents. uhm.. if you tell me where your from, i might be able to help you more..

i looked this up too..
Not everyone in Ohio speaks with the midwestern nasal twang. Some do. In the Northern part of the state this is certainly the case. But if you move towards the hillier portion of the state, you hear a lot more about *warshing* dishes and *hunnerd* dollar bills, but somewhere in the middle everything levels out into a crisp non-accented cadence that is as clear as the words on this screen. In fact, the Ohio accent is the basis of the accent taught to newscasters. Newscasters on the televisual machine, meaning: the Ohio accent is so bland that you wouldn't even know it if you heard it because there's nothing to hear except the words, man.

I'm starting a new makeover thing for myself and I need new make-up, face wash, hair ideas, etc. what are the best but cheapest face washing scrubs? I need acne scrub and just face washing stuff. Also, what is the best kind of make-up stuff to get for my eyes (shadow, liner, mascara, and anything else) what kind of lip gloss is best? i dont want lip stick just gloss. what is the best face stuff (powder, foundation, and anything else.) and last I need hair ideas. I have short choppy hair i usually only wear it down. I never really do anything fun with it which is what I want to do. I wear it straight and have it flip out which looks cute and I scrunch it too which looks really pretty and everyone loves it. i just want style ideas. thank you to whoever helps me.

i use this cheap make up remover, to get my make up off.. haha. its at wal*mart and only like 98 cents. but theres only 6 that comes with it, so get a couple. im not sure where it will be for you, but in mine, its with all this stuff that is in mini sized. like mini sized toothpaste and such. it works wonders..
acne scrub i have proactive, try using clearisol(spelling)
eye shadow depends on the color of your eyes, green eyes its best to use browns, and goldish colors. thats mine. if your is differnt let me know and ill find out for you.
i like to use powder foundation, its better for your face then the liquid. dont get it to dark, but if you KNOW that you will be tanning this summer, then get a darker color..
try putting eyeliner on your top lid. it looks really good. it will take a while to get use to it, and make it look good, so practice on the weekends or after school, not before, bc then youll get mad, b/c it wont look good the first couple times. get mascara that makes your eyelashes fuller. get a light pink lip gloss, or just clear, mary kate and ashley have good lip gloss and its only around 2$
hair, try having it scrunched with your bangs(if you have them) straight. and pull your hair half way up with a clip. it looks really cute. make sure the clip is kinda high up, so you can see it from the front.. it will take practice to get it like that, but even if its not up, it still looks really cute, so you can do it before school for the first time and it;'ll look fine.
hope i helped

Ok well I have no idea about make up and I'm thinking of wearing it on my friend's wedding next month. I always beleived in natural beauty but since it's my friend's special day I want to look special just to not wreck anything.

Ok Well first thing, the make up is 2 years old but never opened before. Will it give any bad look effects? Will it be okay to use?

There's some stuff in the kit that I have no idea what they are and what they are used for or used with. The words listed in brackets are the ones that I know.

The ones that aren't, could you list what it is possibly, what it's used for, what it's used with maybe, and maybe how to use it if I don't know?:

Ok first drawer:
-Um these small circle boxes and the stuff are coloured dark blue, light pink, red, orange, purple, light orange or peach, black, and brown. Are they eye shadow?

Second drawer:
-(Lip stick)
-(Mascara)
-(Lip Gloss)
-(Nail Polish)
-a small sharpener like for pencils, what in the world is that for?!
-And a pretty big brush, what's the used for and what is it used with?

Third and last drawer:
-Eye Liner, it says. No idea what you use for though I have a clue since it says EYE.
- A TINY brush
- 6 tiny little brushes but the brush isnt' like hair it's like soft material and white and looks like a heart shaped.
-A brush that's big and is wide but it's really flat. =S
- And three circled containers that are bigger then the ones for I think eye shadow. They're Pink, light pink, and some ugly red and brown mixed. Blush?

And I haven't opened any of them as I said so when I lifted one set to remove the clear plastic stuff there's a packet at the bottom that says DO NOT EAT! SILICAGEL! What's that and what's that used for?

I know it's long and I'm really sorry but if you answer everything I asked for, I'm pretty sure you know what your rate is oging to be. Thank you so much!

the first one is right, it is eye shadow.. if you have green eyes like mine, try to use a browish gold color anyday, but for the wedding try to match it with your dress.. and it depends on your skin color too. if you really white, stay away from white or pink.
if your tan, you can really pull off anything, but match it with your eyes.

the pencil sharpener is for the eyeliner, you sharpen it like a pencil, but not really sharp, after you sharpen it, press on it a little bit with your finger so it wont poke your eye.. the eyeliner goes on the part under your eye, like above the eyelashes..haha the brush is for blush. again, skin color really chooses the color for the blush.

the tiny brush can be used for the same thing, i use it for that sometimes. the little heart ones are to out the eye shadow on.
the other big brush, im not sure..
and yes, thats blush the pink and such containers..

Silica gel is most commonly encountered in everyday life as beads packed in a semi-permeable plastic. In this form, it is used as a desiccant to control local humidity in order to avoid spoilage of some goods. Because of poisonous dopants and their very high absorbtion of moisture, silica gel packets usually bear warnings for the user not to eat the contents, but to throw them away instead. If consumed, the pure silica gel is unlikely to cause acute or chronic illness, but would be problematic nonetheless. However, some packaged desiccants may include fungicide and/or pesticide poisons. It is not known whether these would be labelled specifically. Food-grade desiccant should not include any poisons which would cause long-term harm to humans if consumed in the quantities normally included with the items of food.

Okay, so I have curly hair. At night I shower, and I put it in a ponytail with two ponytail holders, one at the bottom and one at the top.
My hair is a bit wavy when I wake up, but still a bit damp. What can I put through the curls to have them hold and stay defined the whole day instead of getting frizzy and poofy? And how do I do it?

try putting moose and gel and such in it at night and try drying it?.. if that doesnt work then just put the moose and gel in it and then let it dry at night.. try buying hair things for curly hair.. hope i helped

I remember about 2 years ago I used to go into AIM chat rooms just to look at people's infos for cool colors and stuff.. but now I can't remember how I would get there. Whereever I went to get there, there were tons of names like "P. Diddy" or "Beyonce" stuff like that.. Now I can't remember how I would get there. Anybody know? Thanks :]

yeah, i went there too. you sent a chat room invitation to yourself and go to the bottom and click on p.diddy or whatever. but AIM took them away, people say you can find then at aim.com but i cant find it.. hope i helped

Me and this guy one weekend got drunk one time and made out, and that was it. The next weekend, we saw each other and we hooked up again basically all night. We're practically "hookup buddies" now and we're actually pretty good friends.. but I'm confused about us. You know? How do i clear up that confusion without fully saying to him WHAT ARE WE. or DO YOU LIKE ME.

if you were drunk the second time, then you guys might not be anything. but if you werent drunk and he wasnt, then there might be something there. hang out with him, go to the movies or something and see if he trys to hold your hand or kiss you. hope i helped

so when you give a handjob..does your hand need to be wet? will it hurt them if its dry? and if it does need to be wet what should you do to get it that way, because it would be kind of weird to just get up and put on lotion or something, woiuldnt it?

it doesnt need to be wet. anything will feel good. it might be easier to do, but it doesnt matter, some guys might want your hand to be wet, but i dont think they care. lol.. hope i helped

i think about her 24/7 all my life for 8 years. i told her how i felt about her and she was shocked but said she was fine with it, but not sure what gender she likes. and doesnt want a relationship right now.
she said she doesnt look at me in that way.
she is a touchy person, sits very close to me, leans her heead on me and i can hear a sigh, holds my arm close once before like a hug while she lean her head on me. ( this is before i told her)
but she and i still hang out and talk to each other.
i start to think 'i should move on' but i cry when i think of that.
she might like me or its in my head
i'm moving to hawaii in 2 years, it was already plained before i told her how i felt.
i told her i want to leave here to find out who i am.
she wasnt happy about but she knows she cant stop me.
i wrote her a note that i handed to her it read:i will think of you and love you forever.
i want to know how it feels to be with a man, but deep down i still want to be with her.
love sucks!
but we need it to keep moving....
24/7 i still think about her.....

FYI:i'm a 20/F (i'm in her shoes too, i dont know what gender i like)

i just dont know what to do??

try "being" with a man. or if you really think you love her, ask her how she feels.. and just go from there. if she says she still doesnt know, then just try to find someone else. sorry its not much, but i hoped i helped

Hey. Well, I'm 13/f, and during the weeekdays, I live with my mom [my parents are divorced]. Now, don't get me wrong, my mom is NOT an alchaholic, becuase I've NEVER seen her like really drunk, in my entire life. But, she always drinks, like beer is pretty much the only thing she does drink. I've told her It bothers me, and she stops, for like 3 days to a week. Then she complains that she's 'poor'. She also smokes, a LOT, In the house, and it smells GROSS. Is their anything I can do?

my mom is the same, she lowered her smoking, but she drinks beer all the time. what i always told her is im going to write my name on her ciggerattes(spelling) and if she smokes them, she doesnt love me, that made her lower it to like twice a week she'll smoke, try that?. maybe she'll be like my mom and lower it by you saying that, but if not, then do it!.. write your name with aheart, and she what happens(drinking, i really dontr know what to do sorry for that one)
