about

My name is Devin Lindsey or Vinny as my sister calls me! I am 17 years old and go to Bethel Park High school. I loooove swimming along with dancing, singing, and playing softball. I also run varsity track with is alright i supose too.


My favorite colors are orange, pink, and blue. I love to be crazy and have a good time

I've had a job working for 15+ monthes so I can answer alot about that

and I know alot about relationships in general so I can be helpful with that sometimes

especially with parent child relationships


I am a very observant person and tend to know more and care about more than most my age


and I really believe in volunteering to help animals especially at shelters. Usually its not their fault that they have to live their and its usually horrible cercimstances that bring them there and I feel terrible that they can't speak for themselves and people are too caught up in spending like $500 on this cute little pure breed puppy from a breeder just into getting rich instead of giving one of these dogs another chance at life (there are usually a handful of dogs under a year old so the i want a puppy excuse doesn't work with me)

My baby is named Lainey Mae... we got her from a shelter about 2 hours away from us when she was 7 weeks old. she is now 2 years old and the center of our family. unfortunately someone was cruel enough to go down and drug up and shoot (but luckly not kill) most of the dogs plus rob the owner (just like someone did at the shelter where I volunteer) and its now shut down

advice

I am a fourteen year old with a problem. A few months ago I decided not to play water polo at my high school I attend. The reason why is that the coaches were asking me to tell jokes at the conditioning practices before the season. If I did not tell a joke, the other kids at the practice had to swim more laps. I refused to tell the jokes, and the kids were kind of angry at me. I felt humiliated.

I played water polo for many years and then made the decision I did not want to play. Then the coaches called my parents and told them that they could not understand my decision.

My family is a big water polo family and I still feel that they are angry at me for not playing. I cannot take it any longer. Can anyone offer me any advice? Was I wrong for quitting?

I would approach your parents then a school principal about that.. that is harassment and he can't force you to do that like that.

i would go back to playing.. its not worth to waste your future over a stupid coach and if he starts botherign you again tell someone who has the power to fire him..

I don't think it was wrong of you too quit because i would have to but if you have a future in this sport and can get a free ride to college or something why not?

what do i do my dogs are attatched to human table food they won't touch dog food so i have to make them breakfast lunch and dinner. tell me how i can get them to eat dog food. please........ thank you

well you should have never gave them table food in the first place.. thats what happen

basically all you can do is stop feeding them table food.. eventually they will get hungry enough and will eat their food.. they may not eat for several days but enventually they will figure it out.. just don't give in.. they are like little kids.. they will pressure you and make you think that they are staving and need it but acually they can go over 2 weeks without food and still be fine.. so when they get that hungry they will eat

if they dont like just plain dog food either buy the moist packets of stuff and mix ti with that or cheap oatmeal or baby food. thats what i do.

okay i'm 14 years old and my dad has been in jail for about 7 years because he almost shot a guy and about 3 weeks ago i wrote him a letter and now he wants me to write him more and come see him in september and im not sure what i should do because this subject is really hard for me and im not really ready to see him yet but my grandparents keep pressuring me to see him and i feel bad about not seeing him because he's my dad and he probably wants to see me really bad i just dont know what to do because i dont want to hurt anyones feelings but im also not ready to see him yet
what do you guys think i should do ?
thanks

I would keep right and wait till atleast the end of the month to make a decision.. because alot can change in that time. For all you know you could be the only reason he wants to keep leaving or his motivation to get out of jail.

Know one knows why you don't want to see him etc. so i can't persuade you either way. but i thought i would let that out

[view]

the subject pretty much explains it all...

as often as you need to. I have been doing it for about 7 years now and i have to do it almost every day. if you haven't been doing it that often once or twice a week should be just fine

Hey Everyone..
I'm 5`3 almost 5`4, and I only weigh about 92 pounds, I know that's kinda skinny, but my worst problem is that I have almost NO butt. Does anyone know of any kind of food or exercises that will help it grow a little. By the way, I'm only 13, so I'm not expecting to have some kind of ghetto booty, but all my jeans look kind of baggy in the back, even when I buy kinny double zero jeans.
Thanks [=

I wouldn't worry. My sister was the same way then all of a sudden over the summer she gained almost 40 pounds and filled out more. When your body is ready you will full out and it makes no sense to try to gain weight then maybe be overweight later. If you are worried about baggy jeans buy the stretchy kind

and be patient.. you will fill out

okay so you see, i stopped wearing underwear in the 6th grade. ( im going into the 9th now. ) its much more comfortable to go without them. but im turning 14, and im scared im going to start my period, and im not going to have underwear on. i dont like underwear b/c they go up my crotch & i always feel like i have to pull them out. so i was wondering if the boy shorts underwear would work?

I have never worn them but i guess then would.. no underwear should ride up you. I wear thongs and that rarely happens to me. id it keeps riding up you it means its too tight or too big. personally i think thongs that are too big don't ride up as much as ones that are more snug


well good luck with that

okay, i didn't know what category to put this in, but what does irony mean?, i looked up the definition on dictionary.com and i didnt understand it, so could someone, explain it to me better.. thanks

irony means like something happened opposite from what was expected. It can take on many different forms but that is the main idea. it is often used in writing

i didnt know what to put this under.
i have been using neutrogena oil free acne wash. and it seemed to be working but today i am breaking out.im not sure if its just the heat (its soo hot) or from the acne wash.. if my skin didnt react well to it? what do u think?

i use that stuff
i have noticed that in the past few days too


yes the heat has something to do with it (because you sweat) and i don't wash my face as often as i do in the fall or winter because i am always swimming and don't shower every day (more like 4-5 times a week)

I would give it a few more weeks and see. i also use oxy pads twice a day with it if that helps you at all

does your i.p. address change sometimes? i use dsl but like sometimes when i check it online or w/e it changes...

dsp usually doesn't change because you never really log off

although if you use dial up like aol it changes almost every time.. or as i have heard

ummmm i was just wondering if anybody can tell me how to use weight im 5'7 an weight 150... i was wondering is it ok if i go on a crash diet just eating whole grians????

that sucks because once you go back to regular food you will gain the weight back.. and you cant live off of whole grains you wont get nutrients

try crash dieting on fruits veggies lean meat and whole grains only

that is a much better solution

Does anyone know what designers use to make their clothes is called? and please don't say models. But it's like a torso on a stand. Is it a mannequin?

Its called a form

although some acually do use models. Some make clothes just to fit a certain person like a one of a kind sort of. Those people they make it for aren't nec. the people that model it in the fashion show but they think that is the body that their outfit will look best on or whatever


i know thats not what you were looking for at the end.. but i thought i would share

Alright, this may seem a little strange that I'm asking this.. but I have no idea what to wear the first day of school. I start the 9th, next wednesday, in Texas. So maybe you could help by giving me examples of what you'd wear the first day?

well i don't know your style.. so it's hard to say. Just wear something comfortable. Like most girls wear short sleeves and mini skirts the first day and always ending up freezing (because air conditioning is always blasted) and what not. wear jeans and a nice T-shirt.. in the end you will be happier you did

im 14/f.. would it be wierd if i went into abercrombie kids? because i looked at their stuff on the site and it looked like what teenagers would wear? do any of you guys shop at abercrombie kids? and also if a medium is in abercrombie, what would be the size for abercrombie kids? thanks

I wear the same sizes as you. i was told If i can fit into their clothes at all i Would wear an XL because i have a good friend who wears a 10 in girls and is a M/L in shirts and i heard there jeans run small but i can if i really want to wear a 14 in normal kids jeans if that helps you but i have never worn jeans from there

there clothes are really cute.. i have never bought any from there but i bought a tote bag from there and i plan to buy some of there clothes when i go school shopping this fall.

I wouldn't order there clothes online though until you go in the store and try them on because personally i have never tried them.

I was thinking about using hydroxycut , my boyfriend who is 17 & never used it told me that it makes you not hungry. & then i told him that it's basically like starving yourself then, and he said no, and then he said something else. I'm only 15 & i'm 5'0, 130 pounds. The problems i have on my body is my stomach , sides, waist, and thighs. I would like to lose weight in those areas before august 13 ... so my questions are...

does it work?
& if so will i get good results by august 13th?
Is it basically like starving yourself?
Can i walk by sweets and not crave them?
& if i get it what food should i eat?

thnx in advance and i'm really sorry it's long.

ANYTHiNG Will help....

skinny=?
a little below normal=?
normal=?
fat=?

it really all depends on the persons body type but this is what i would say

skinny= under 100
a little below normal= under 115
normal= 115-140
fat= over 150

my boyfriend and i have been together for 3 years and we have never had sex with different partners before. do you guys think we have a high chance of gettting a sti? we have always used condoms but now we want to stop using them because i started taking birth control pills. we plan to be married in the future, but i am afraid of getting an sti or something like. he got tested and nothing was wrong or anything. but i was still wondering how high of a risk i have to get a sti?

if neither of you have then you should be fine unless one of you have hiv which might not be seen for up to 10 years after contracting it.

thankyou

danceline

use sweat proof 50-60 sunscreen and apply it atleast 15 mins before you start to keep it from coming off. also wear more clothes.. like wear a lighter airy shaw/jacket over top instead of a heavy T-shirt.. like one of those adult cover-ups for bathing suits

I wouldnt wear a bathing suit bottom, a thong or even cotton underwear would be cooler. and i would just wear soffees and like a halter top. If its cotton to cooler it will most likely be
