Well, I really love helping people with stuff, it makes me feel good, and I am going to school to be a psychologist and fashion designer(kind of, haven't decided). I'm 18 and my favorite movie right now is The Wedding Date, because the lines are really cute. Oh and I think the hottest guy ever is Spike(James Marsters) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he isn't the only hott guy I like but he is on top of the list.

I have a knack for understanding guys and girls I've been told, and thats good because I don't think I would have made it through school if I didn't.

Well hope to hear from you soon, and by the way just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I'm not mature, I may be young but I know about the world. So questions from all ages are welcome.

My eyebrows are over-plucked and I do not know what to do with them. Only stray hairs below the main eyebrow are left and those I pluck, but the areas that I need hair to grow back at, it isn't! I've tried using an eyebrow pencil, but it always turns out looking creepy, overdone, and fake. So what products are out there that I can use to make my over plucked eyebrows look less severe and more natural? (link)
Ok, I've gone to a Cosmetology school, so what you need to do is find an eybrow stencil and use an angled brush and put eyshadow where your brow should be, you might have to lightly do it with a pencil then sweep shadow over it. Hope I helped, and that should work. Just make sure you get the right color eyeshadow trhat matches your hair color.


ok i was using this little electronic razor thingy to comb out my eyebrows so theyll look neat. The thing was off. I was doign it for a while and then i wasnt paying attention and accidently turned it on WHILE IT WAS ON MY EYEBROW now theres a lil blank spot it the middle of my eyebrow- is there any way i can cover it up? please help a.s.a.p ♥anonymous (link)
Ok, no no no, do not use just an eyebrow pencil. Lightly use a pencil, then put whatever color your eyebrow is eyeshadow on it. Everyone says use ans eye pencil, nope, eyeshaodw is way better, make up school here i know. Get an agled brush and sweep it over the mkissing part, the shadow will attach itself to teh brow, believe me it works, get it dark enough though. Hope I helped


my face is really oily. i don't wear make-up so sometimes it is extremely noticable. i use biore shine control face wash and that works pretty good. does anybody know any other products that would help? or anything that i can do to reduce the shine? i'll rate 5's for anyone who tries!! (link)
I tell everybody to use this stuff, its inexpensive and works so great! It's called Queen Helene's Facial Wash or Scrub, but they have it everywhere, and they have different ones, but I get the green one, its dry out your skin but also moisturizes, its weird, but it really works.


Hey everyone, I'm 14/Female in eighth grade...

Anyways, at my middle school we have a Valentines' Day Carnation Sale, and with every carnation you send sort of this "note" type thing with a message on it for the person you want to receive the flower. A really nerdy guy sent me a carnation today! Like, your typical violin-playing, huge glasses-wearing geeky dude. Even worse: on the note he asked me out! I don't know how to say "thanks but no thanks" nicely. I really don't want to break the kids' heart, because with his social status it must have been really hard to work up the courage to do something like that. I admit, it was really, really sweet of him! I just don't like him in that way. For one thing, I barely even know the kid...and I guess I would be kind of embarrassed to be even SEEN with him. Wow, I sure do sound stuck up =[. I just don't know of any nice ways to say "no". Anyone have any ideas? Thank you so much.

**RATES 5's!!** (link)
Ok, you do sound a little stuck up, I mean I would have understood it, if you wrote you didn't like him, but you wrote that you would be embarassed to even be seen with him. I'm sure you are not stuck up but I don't know. I would just tell him yolu really don't know him, and that you are interested in another guy, and that is gesture was really sweet. Hope I helped. Just a word of advice here, its better to be a mixer in school, hang out with everybody, its just a better experience, no trying to hide friendships because you are scared you will be thrown out of the in crowd. I was a mixer and got the benefits of each group, no one cared they thought it was cool, and they even hung out with me and other kids not in their "group".


hey,everytime i pick a name it starts to get popular and everyone has it! what are some extreamly unique GIRL names that are from other contries such as germany and france,(really other than the U.S) thank you! (link)

I am a 17/f in my senior year in high school. I am not very popular, and hang out with the loser, or nerd crowd. The few friends that I have are not very nice to me, but I put up with them because I would rather have some mean friends then none at all. Well last week, one of my "friends" told the most popular guy in our class that I was checking out his butt. ( This wasnt true, but because my face went red they all assumed it was). I was mortified and just walked away. All my friends laughed at me, and the guy just looked uncomfortable. There was just me and my two friends, and him. He had none of his popular friends there to witness this. Well anyways, the next day I kept catching him staring at me. When I would look at him he would look away. This would also happen in our english class. Well on friday, we had a grad council meeting in the cafeteria. He was there, and when no one else was looking, I had to walk by him. This is when he gave me a huge smile, in kind of a sexy, flirtatius way. I was shocked and never said anything. Anyways, my question is: do you think he may really like me? I find it hard to believe because he's the class valedictorian and jock, and can have any girl in school. I also heard he doesnt have a gf right now. Or do you think he's just playing a trick on me? (link)
I thik its possible, but play it cool, you never know what guys are thinking. Good luck and I hope you get you beau.


ok i am 13/f and i have dark circles under my eyes they aren't really really bad but i was wondering is there any way to get rid of them without using make up (link)
preparation H ,it works , just don't get it in your eyes.


You told a girl about a pill called Calotren.
Is there anything else you could tell me about this? I would like to try it. (link)
Ok well you can go here.
www.calotren.com
it will take you to the site where they sell it, and it will tell you everything you want to know. It's like 63.95 a bottle but its for a month, and I think it is totally worth it. it works really well for me, and I am happy with it, it helps, acne, aches, weight gain, all kinds of stuff. I have really bad knees and I am a little over weight, and it takes the pounds off in a healthy way, but you can lose like 80 in a year or more if your body responds well. Hope that helped, but yeah the website tell way better than I ever could. Best of luck.


I'm 5"4' and 160 lbs. That doesn't sound that 'fat' but I'm also 13 years and my doctor thinks it's too fat and that was the cause of my 'monthly's' stopping for 4 months early last year! I really need an appropriate diet to lose some pounds because I feel fat and since I have to maintain school and homework, chores, etc. it's tough to not eat.
Recently I've been on a diet with food and water and no snacks but I did eat a few snacks and after 4 bottles of water...I felt reallly bloated! So How Do I use my water and food (lunch) diet without the snacks...the temptation of the snacks? Does anny one know how to avoid buyin em? (link)
Ok, I know everyone is porbably gonna get on my case for this but... there is a pill called Calotren, it's kinda expensive but it works, and it also helps with periods, aches, acne, all kinds of stuff, and it is TOTALLY safe. And just excercising in general is really good, walking a mile or two a day, eat about 7 small meals a day, or at least try, it keep your metabolism going all day, and that helps when losing weight. hope i helped, i am liitle rushed right now, best of luck.


I think I have polycyrstic ovary syndrom. I have a lot of hair around my nipples. Like a lot of hair! I know polycyrstic ovary syndrom is treatable, but how can you treat it? Do you have to go to the doctor, or are there over the cunter drugs for it? Help please! (link)
Ok, I have PCOS, and more hair than normal is a symptom, but there are other symptoms as well. For example, being overweight, excess hair, somewhat bad to horrible acne, and really abnormal periods. I don't have all the symptoms but I do hav PCOS, so I suggest you go to your gynecologist and get things worked out, soon, otherwise things could get kinda messy for you later in life. good luck, and best wishes. If you eed to talk about it, my e-mail is on my advice column.


my one friends slept over last night and my parents went out adn didn't coem back till one. So, we were really bored nd decided to listen to my dads old records. When we went into his closet.. omg. I thought i was going to die, I saw this DVD for porn. I thought it was a nightmare, it didn't seem liek reality to me and it still doesn't. My parents are the furthest thing from pornos. Now, it's the next day and I can't even look at them. What should I do? (link)
Don't freak out, some people use videos like that to get in the mood, i don't know why, but it works for them. Parents can hide secrets well. believe me, and its just better if you put it out of your mind. I'm thinkning of becoming a sex therapist, and i know use those all the times, give them to couples, i would not particularly do that but eh, whatever. Just don't think about it, or you could ask them , and embarass yourself and them. Hope i helped, good luck


I was molested as a child. By a male friend of the family and by my father. I lost my virginity with my boyfriend on the 15th & we have had sex about 6 times since & I still haven't had an orgasm. Could it be because I was molested? Is there something I could do? (link)
Well yes it is possible. I don't wanna be all psychologist like but here we go. Being that you were molested you could just not enjoy sex, so you don't orgasm. Could also feel kind of disgusted with yourself and sex in general, and don't think you deserve to have fun with sex, hopefully thats not the case, because sex can be fun with the right person and right time. I think if you really thought about what was holding you back, you could deal with it on your own, but molestation is a big thing, I suggest talking to a really great friend and working through it, maybe even your boyfriend. If you can't trust anyone or talking to a friend just doesn't work, i would suggest therapy. I'm soryy this was so bloody long. Good luck, and I hope you find your answer.


I have a problem with people being jealous of me. I don't know why they are - I'm not extremely beautiful or wealthy. I'm just an above average looking girl with average intelligence. I don't have a bf either, so this makes their jealously all the more perplexing.
I have a part time job with a union, and can afford to live on my own. I have an appartment I rent, a car, and a lot of nice furniture. I own about 150 CD's and 70 DVD's.
I by no means am rich, but only have myself to look after. So I can afford to spend my paychecks on what I please. I had saved up a bit and just bought a new futon and recliner. That made some of my friends REALLY jealous.
This one friend of mine makes just as much money as me but says that most of his paychecks go towards paying credit card depts. I have never had a credit card so don't have this problem. My sister is also jealous of me because she owes money to student loan payments. I never went to college so don't have this problem. Some of my other friends don't have cars, and are always saying how lucky I am to have one. But they don't relize how much money I put into it. I just paid 400 to replace the breaks. I wish I could just enjoy what I have without people feeling jealous. I earned it. What can I do, and how can I stop people from envying me? (link)
Did you ever think maybe you're kinda snotty? You don't have to list everything you have, see how that's obnoxious, and guess what, me not jealous.

I'm wondering how someone with so much self-confidence would be so concerned about others jealousy. " I don't know why they are - I'm not extremely beautiful or wealthy. I'm just an above average looking girl with average intelligence." Really, above average, is this a personal ad or are you just whining about your great life. Shut up, people are just looking up to you because you are doing well, take the complements, or wait maybe not, your head might explode.

See still not jealous. Have a good day.


my cat is very mean. she has weird hair ball on her back. i tried having her shaved but she bites everyone. any body know what these things are on her back and how to get them off? I rate 5's (link)
get garden shears


I have all these little bumps on my upper arms and its very dry and ive tried putting lotion on it but the naxt day is just the same thing. how do i help make the bumps go away and have soft smooth skin? (link)
Putting lotion on a couple days won't show results, you have to keep doing it for a while to see any difference. Are the bumps like pimples, or just little red bumps? If its pimples I recommend a acne body wash, if its red bumps then use the lotion for a while. Hope I helped, oh and I recommend St. Ives whipped lotion.


i have been with my boyfriend for 4 months now when we first got together he said he does not want a relationship and that and his best mate even said not to do anything with him he will just get what he wants then leave but he did not and it did not bother me before but not i think that it may turn it to a realtionship and that but every time i see him i cant help but think that he is sleeping around with other lasses how can i tell if he realy likes me or not and if he is sleeping with other lasses one min he is close to me the next he acts distant please help i will rate (link)
I imagine he is confused on what he wants, its totally possible he ws really hurt in the past so he doesn't want a relationship. Now he could be doing three things.

1. He really is kind of falling for you, but is denying it and trying to be with other girls so he won't like you as much.

2. He does really like you and is not sleeping with other girls, but is still trying to fight his feelings for you.

3. He doesn't care and is just sleeping around.

Personally I believe in number 2, but the only way to find out is to just ask him, I mean if you do end up in a relation ship, you wann be able to ask each other stuff, no matter how hard it is, and be honest, its key to a great relationship.
I hope I helped, and good luck with your lad. By the way are you from Ireland, England, Scotland?


If I'm a female in my 20's, have never been sexually active, and don't plan to start for a while (just not interested right now and too many other things going on in my life), and haven't had any problems with my health or menstruation, do I need to see a ob-gyn? I'm busy with graduate school, so I'd like to just put it off, but I'm hearing more and more women my age talk about their ob-gyn appointments. I'm confused about whether ob-gyn care is necessary for women who aren't sexually active and have never been. I made a resolution to take care of my health this year and get to a physician for a physical, along with other doctor's appointments, but I don't know if a ob-gyn visit should also be on my list. (link)
Ok, well this is my opinion, I know you should go to the gynecologist after you turn 18, but I say that if you aren't ready to have sex then don't go to a gynecologist. I went when I was 14, and it was horrible, so I am kinda biased. Thats just my opinion. Good luck.


can someone with a yahoo screen name talk online to someone with an aim screen name? sorry if this was dumb, but i didn't know lol =P (link)
No they can't. but both are free so you can get both. Hope I helped.


Why is it that because I have a 24-inch waist and wear 00 pants, that I'm a stick with a drawn-on face? I know that this is a dumb question, but I was reading the responses to a question, one of the users used that phrase as if really thin people are just an empty shell and that hurt my feelings... (link)
Dude, you are beautiful don't listen to fat mean people, and guess what I am fat so listem to me. I really don't know what people's problems are, its weird guys either like skinny girls or fat girls, so all the girls start to fight on who got the guys, if that made sense. Sorry for their stupid comments. I am fat and if someone calls me fat, I just tell them, thanks I knew that, its no big deal because I am obviously fat, no big deal, but when people pick on skinny people its just dumb they can't help it, they are naturally like that like you, you are not a stick with a drawn on face, don't listen to people. You are going to have to just start to ignore comments, because you are skinny people are going to criticize you, especially some big girls, just like skinny people comment on bigger people, i am big, and I didn't make myslef that way, i have a disease, but everyone assumes I eat too much, like peopl might assume you have an eating disorder, just shrug it off, you are beautiful and thats all you need to know. Sorry this was long, hope I helped.


I want to buy some lingerie for my girlfrien, but am unsure what will suit her. She is quite tall, 5' 11" slim and athletic, UK size 12 with 36B breasts. Any advice on what she will look good in and where to get it from in the UK? (link)
I'm an American, so I don't know where you would go, but online works. Victoria's Secret has cute stuff. The question is what would you like to see her in? If she likes simple stuff, I would go with sexy bra and panties, if she is more girly, then maybe a corset and garter, or a teddy would be cool. Hope I helped.
