so im considering getting a perm. my hair is naturally straight and its not thin but not thick either its sorta in between. i dont want like really tight curls i want loose ones that are sort of wavy. the reason im considering it is because it takes a long time to curl my hair. i go to a salon to get my hair cut so i know it wont turn out bad but what do yall think? do you think its too drastic? im worried it will turn out bad and i want to know if you can straighten your hair after you get a perm. thanks! (Indeed)

I would be careful, I've seen some really terrifying things happen to hair after perms. Sometimes, a person's hair will look very nice while they have the perm, but as it starts to straighten out (as it does over time) it starts to frizz out instead of being straight. I believe it's the chemicals that really damage your hair from the perm. If you really want to though, I would ask your hair dresser the next time you go for just a hair cut and see if they think you have the right hair type and such for a perm. If they tell you it will look bad - it probably will.

You won't like this answer, and a few years ago, I wouldn't have liked it either, but here goes:
If it means that much to you, you'll have to wait the couple years (I believe the age is 16 in most places) to get it pierced. The cleaning and infection is really going to be a pain in your ass, especially if you miss cleaning it once or twice here and there.
If you really just can't wait, then read up all the information on the piercing that you possibly can, print stuff out and talk to your parents about it. If you read everything to them, including the risks and scarring, they may see the responsibility you took in researching the piercing as a good sign that you won't let your face get all infected and gross.
Your best bet is to start here:
http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Eyebrow_Piercing
Once you've learned everything about the risks and procedures, then find out about costs where you would have to go to get it done. You may even want to go to a location that does the piercing and talk to a professional about the whole process, or bring your parents along with you, so they can talk to the professional themselves about it.

okay, my mom found out that i was sexually active with my bf (i was 14, he was 15) and she put me on birth control. well, i am still with the same bf; he even lives in my house, but our sex life is almost non-exsistant. i want to get off of the pill. all it has done for me is made me gain weight. my bf pretends that i am still 110 lbs but trust me, i know he has noticed the weight gain. we dont have sex anymore, and in the four years we've been dating we have used a condom every single time--why wont my mother let me get off of the pill? is there some threat that she is afraid to tell me--or is it just a mother thing? (Indeed)
|
Your mother is probably just terrified you'll get pregnant, which is still possible even if you're using a condom. If you want to get off the pill, talk to your doctor. I don't mean tell your mom to talk to your doctor, I mean go to the doctor and tell them what you told me.
There are other benefits to birth control aside from the important anti-baby-making ones, it also regulates your period, and may even tone down the effects those hormones from your period have on your body. So definitely talk to your doctor about what kind of effects it will have if you do come off of the pill.
Is there a chance you and your boyfriend will start having sex again? If there is, I would consider a new diet and maybe exercise routine to deal with the added weight, instead of coming off the pill. Or, talk to your doctor about a different pill or a different form of birth control that may not cause weight gain, since they're all really different.

I have white paint on the shirt I got from my Uncle. When he was my age (A long time ago) He got white paint on the shirt and the paint brand and type is unknown. WD40 Could not get it out. It also for sure is paint. THe T-Shirt is 100% cotton made by: Gildan Active Ware Ultra Cotton Heavywright. (Indeed)
|
If the paint has been there for years and has been washed multiple times, you're probably not going to get the paint out. You can try Varsol, but it may not work if the paint has been there for a long time.
http://www.parish-supply.com/latex_paint_remover.htm but you'd have to purchase it, though it does say it's safe for clothing.

How do I let people know I am able to babysit? No one has ever asked me yet I get mostly straight A's, and have done a 4-day 4 hours a day babysitting course. (Indeed)
|
You can tell your parents to tell friends that they know who have young children that you are available to babysit. I don't recommend putting up flyers or anything, as that really isn't a safe idea for you. It's best to babysit for families that you are already familiar with, or that your parents know. Have your parents, or even friend's parents see who needs a sitter. Chances are, someone is in need of a babysitter. If you still don't find anything, try letting your school know that you're looking to babysit and perhaps they can let some of the school's families know (such as on parent's night or PTA meetings).

I was just wondering what about my background is considered "offensive"? I personally really like it which would make sense because it is up so I just want to know the reason behind that.
I know you said it was hard to read as well but that can be changed with my font color.
I'd be happy to change my background if I just get an explanation. Thanks (Indeed)

Sure, it's just that it's the middle finger, and that usually represents a person saying "fuck you". Not only do we have younger members who may somehow be sensitive to this, we have a lot of parents who come through and look at the site to make sure their 13+ kids are not looking at anything they shouldn't. It violates our site policy, and it looks in a way, pretty damn unprofessional.

i live in canada and would like to buy a house. i am a first time home buyer. however I always seem to have problems getting a mortgage. I have a goodpaying full time job, good credit etc. Any advice, route to go's, tips on how to get a mortgage hassle free as a first time homebuyer. I rate high!! Thank you so much (Indeed)
|
I would consider calling your bank, and talking to a mortgage consultant. They will be able to give you the most accurate information. Also, be aware that for a mortgage in Canada, you'll need to not only negotiate with a bank, but also a lawyer and you have the option of a real estate agent (though some people sell a home on their own, it's an incredible hassle and can be disastrous if you don't know what you're doing with the piles of paperwork). So you'll also want to call around and find a good property lawyer and a real estate company. I suggest calling a real estate agent first, and then you can start browsing at homes. They'll show you what is in your price range, and then you can talk to the bank about a mortgage that is right for you. Once you have talked to a bank, then contact a property lawyer about all the legalities and paperwork.
Remember, a mortgage is a very big deal. You're looking at 10-20 years of payments, and if you can no longer pay or want to break your mortgage, there will be very large consequences. Make sure your job is not only well-paying, but stable.

There's a guy in my english class that I have a crush on but he doesn't notice me. I don't even know if he has a girlfriend. How can I tell if he has a girlfriend, and how can I get him to notice me? I would like him to ask me out, and he used to stare at me. Please e-mail back.
-CurosityGirl (Indeed)

This answer will have to suffice, I prefer not to give out my contact email. I'm sure you understand.
The best way to answer all of these concerns is to befriend him. Strike up a conversation about something in English class and just be friendly. That way, not only will you increase your chances by getting to know him, you'll also be able to find out if he has a girlfriend too. The more you get to know him, the more likely he'll like you back.

Shoes.com has um, a crapload of pink shoes (like 6 pages or so I see). Also, free shipping if you live in the states (I'm sad that I don't now). Give it a try.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for; what kind of advice I need. I don't even know if I need advice.
I'm 13/f, btw.
Last year (2005), during the summer, I met with a guy I knew over the internet. He'd told me that he was 14, and lived about 30 miles from my house. I met up with him, and well, it turned out he wasn't exactly what I expected. Things happened, that, well, weren't exactly supposed to happen. I personally just don't like the term "rape" but sure, lets use it. Since, no matter how much I hate the word, it's what happened.
I've done a pretty good job at hiding it from everyone. Luckily, I have heavy periods, and so I was on the pill at the time to make my bleeding lighter, so I didn't get pregnant. I was 12 at the time. Should I be hiding it from everyone? I've told three people so far. One of them, it was on accident, but she ignored it as if I had never said it. I've also told a good guy friend of mine, let's call him Anthony, but I don't think I can really trust him with the information. And I've also told my boyfriend, let's call him Andrew. He thinks I should tell someone, the poliece, or something. But I refuse to. It's just a weird feeling. I don't really want people to know, I don't really want people to do anything about it. But I don't know, should I tell more people? Like my mom, or the poliece? The guy, well, he told me that if I ever told anyone about it he'd track me down and kill me. And I know some people would think it stupid to listen to a threat like that, but I don't know. I really just don't know what to do. It's like it keeps coming back to haunt me. I was doing a good job at ignoring it, forgeting about it, but lately, it just hasnt been working.
Sorry it's so long. (Indeed)

Find a counsellor, or tell your parents. If you don't want to do any of those things, ask your boyfriend to do it, and then you'll be questioned a bit later when you're ready.
Although you are not keen on going to the police about the situation, you should think of it this way: what about the next girl this guy meets over the internet? I doubt you want to think about this, but it's a horrible situation that you shouldn't allow to happen again.
I'm sure your story could serve as a very good example why meeting people over the internet is a very dangerous task, you could consider letting people know the story so they can be safer.
Don't ignore it, you need help and you can't deal with it on your own. At least this way you'll be able to find some kind of closure.

13yrs female
I get these horrible stomach aches ( with gas, diarreah, nausiea) all the time. I've been to specialists numerous times and they said theres nothing they can do; its just something I'll grow out of. ( My mom and brother both had these serious stomach aches until they were 17 or 18) But I can't take em; I hate to eat because of them, everytime I eat I get a stomach ache. And when I get them I have to stay nearby a bathroom and the stomach ache won't go away for about 3-4 hours. And thats 3-4 hours of horrible pain that I can barely stand!
Does anyone else have this problem; and is there anything yall might know to help me? (Indeed)
|
Problems like these can be caused by your diet, exercise and your natural body setup. More than likely, it's a combination of all three.
I recommend you look into regular exercise (even if you don't think you "need it", it will keep your body in working order.), drink lots of water every day, cut out food that we all know is bad for us (this was the hardest thing for me to do), start taking soluble fibre (that would be metamucil, or up your fibre intake by switching to whole grain brown bread and such) and of course, try to live normally. These problems are likely to be less evident if you aren't as stressed out, so try to lower your stress level if it's possible. Green tea is apparently good for just about every ailment in existence, but it tastes terrible, so try adding honey to it and drinking it daily or hey, just do what I do (I do think green tea is helpful), just hold your breathe and chug it down and get it over with.
One other thing: don't decide to run away from everything because your intestines make you afraid. You're only 13 and you need to deal with it, instead of just letting it run your life for you.

Could someone tell me the best thing to use to whiten my teeth. Brushing with whitening toothpaste doesnt satisfy me and i want some thing quick and easy. I have already tried Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel and its really messy and hard to apply. Is there anything easier to apply that i could get at walmart? I have thought about the whitening strips but i am unsure. Thanks in Advance! (Indeed)
|
I would recommend whitening strips. They work incredibly well, and they show almost immediate results. Just make sure you don't use them too often if you have sensitive teeth, because it might hurt if you do. Follow the instructions and read the cautions and you should be fine with it. If you'd rather not spend the money on the white strips, brushing your teeth with baking soda apparently helps (though not dramatically).

i've been going out with my boyfriend for like 13 months, and we've had sex about 4 times, but each time i get nervous beacuse i'm so nervous it's going to hurt. i really love my boyfriend, and he always says he doesn't mind but i want to do it but i'm nervous, what should i do? (Indeed)
|
The thing is, if you're nervous about it hurting, it will hurt. When you get nervous, your muscles tense up and when your muscles are tense, it makes the whole thing that much more difficult (tight muscles = smaller vaginal cavity, situation).
If you can't shake the nervousness, maybe wait a bit longer and tell him not to initiate anything. When you feel really in control, you might be more relaxed and if you're relaxed, your muscles will be relaxed which means it shouldn't hurt as much. It might also put your mind at ease over the situation of pain if you use condoms that come lubed, or use lube on your condom (because I assume you'll be using one, or many. Otherwise it's just silly considering all the risks and stuff.)

I haven't been here lately!
I HAVE BEEN LES BUSAY!
Rate your own DAMN ADVICE.

I've been working at a job for 5 months now. The job is okay, the people are nice, but I'm only making minimum wage. It would be nice to work somewhere part time and make 20 dollars an hour. Right now I work 25 hours a week and make 8 dollars an hour. Sometimes the job is strenuous, with a lot of lifting, unpacking, and pulling pallet jacks. I work in retail in the shoe and underwear department.
What kind of job could I apply for that I could make more money at? The skills have are: customer service, till training, stocking shelves, pricing, setting up displays, operating pallet jacks, and good work ethic. (Indeed)
|
It will likely depend on where you live currently. In Canada, you're making the current minimum wage and all, so I'll just pretend for the sake of clarity that you live in Canada (since it is what I know). If you live in a city that has high costs of living, like Toronto or the surrounding area, you can probably find some jobs upwards of 15$ an hour for hard work but few degrees/education etc. The key here is your education level. Many places simply won't pay over or well over minimum wage if you don't have the education. Someone already suggested Monster - give it a try. Also try Workopolis. As well, if you live in Canada, the government website has a job listing site. I don't think you'll be able to find a job for 20$ an hour and still be part time. If you do, I'd consider that an incredible and lucky situation. If you had computer training (formally) and something along the lines of database management you might be lucky to find something for 20$ an hour, but once again, it depends on your situation and where you live. Where I live, you basically can't get a job that isn't a fast food or restaurant setting or a retail store without a college or university degree. And even then the pay is not all that much more than minimum wage. If it helps put things into perspective, a dental hygienist, (who has gone through formal education, and paid upwards of 60,000$ for their dental training) can look to getting anywhere from 30 - 35$ an hour, possibly more depending on where they live. I just think you should look for less money, or you may be sorely disappointed.
Check out Workopolis, Monster and any government job site searches for job postings. It's all I do anymore because I am also on the job hunt.

i started my period and i need to get tampons so how do i get some if i don't want my mom to know about it?

You should probably tell your mom. She'll either be more than happy to buy you some, or she'll at least be willing. If you just started your period and you're young, I'd consider maybe not moving on to tampons yet. Have you used anything else?
If you still feel uncomfortable asking your mom, then maybe you could ask your school nurse. If you are still not able, you might have to buy your own, or have a friend buy some for you. Or for the time being ask a friend to use some of theirs and that you'll pay them back later maybe. I think however, that your best bet would be to talk to your mom.

I'm currently expecting my first child and my due date is fast approaching. I recently told my husband that I'm hurt that no one has offered to throw a baby shower even though everyone around us (family, friends, coworkers, church members) knows that we are expecting. He said that I should throw a baby shower for myself. I'm afraid that it would be a breach of etiquette and come across as greedy. With our current financial situation, the gifts would be helpful, but I want the shower more for the companionship and celebration that comes with it.
1) Would you consider it greedy if someone were to invite you to a baby shower they were throwing for themself?
2) What would you do in this situation? (Indeed)
|
Think of the person you think would be most likely to throw you a shower. For example's sake, we'll say it's your sister. You call your sister, say "(husband) and I are thinking of having a baby shower, do you think it would work if we (fake question about, I don't know, the colour of bows or something). The point is to get her thinking about it. Hopefully, it might trigger the thought of "hey, sis, you shouldn't have to throw your OWN baby shower!"
Another option is just to invite people and say "we're having a baby shower, you should come! Don't feel that you have to bring a gift, we're just happy to get together." People would likely not come without a gift, but the option makes it seem more about the get together, as you want it to be, than the whole gift giving.
A third idea is like the first, it's much more coy than calling and saying you're having a shower of your own. Instead call your likely suspect (your sister in the first example, everything I say is highly confusing), say "So (sister), I'm thinking of buying a few sets of those fisher price blocks OR stroller OR car seat OR some other baby item that would commonly be bought at a shower." Hopefully, they'll say something like "Maybe you should wait a bit" (meaning: we're having a shower for you damnit, don't buy stuff!).
Someone else should throw you a shower, but you also shouldn't go without one. You may have to bend the rules of etiquette but think of the stuff you can get, it's truly amazing how much one person can accumulate from one shower. I think the baby shower etiquette needs to be rehashed anyways, why not make your own rules, or at least super-hint at others to get their acts together.

I'm doing a 4yr combined degree -- my majors are sociology, history, and information systems. I've already been experiencing some doubt as to whether it's a good idea to do two arts major pretty much unrelated to my computer major, but too late to change now. However, I also want to do honours, and I've been thinking whether I should it in history or information systems (IS). Would it be a better career path to focus on IS?, or should I follow my passion and do history honours?
If it helps, I'm an Australian university student and am uncertain of my future career, but I'll probably work somewhere in IT. Ideally, I'd love to work in history but have no idea how to -- being able to get a job is a great concern for my family. (Indeed)
|
The thing about post-secondary is you have to actually enjoy what you are doing. What you're embarking on is really a tough path, even without an honours in one subject, that means that if you pick an honours in history, there is no reason why an employer might say "ohhh we wanted this person but since they have a larger historical knowledge base, we simply can't accept her." That won't happen. If you think that honours IS is going to really drastically open job fronts, and you ACTUALLY ENJOY IT (so key), then go for it.
I'm a history student (though my second major is political science), and I frequently get told I'm going to flip burgers one day. The history department tries to give us hope, as they should, they sent us these suggestions of what someone with a degree in history could do:
advertising executive, analyst, archivist, broadcaster, campaign worker, consultant, congressional aide, editor, foreign service officer, foundation staffer, information specialist, intelligence agent, journalist, legal assistant, lobbyist, personnel manager, public relations staffer, researcher, educator, researcher, communicator or editor, information manager, advocate, or even a businessperson.
So...
- Educators
Elementary Schools
Secondary Schools
Postsecondary Education
Historic Sites and Museums
- Historians as Researchers
Museums and Historical Organizations Cultural Resources Management and Historic Preservation
Think Tanks
- Historians As Communicators
Writers and Editors
Journalists
Documentary Editors
Producers of Multimedia Material
Historians As Information Managers
- Archivists
Records Managers:
Librarians
Information Managers
- Historians As Advocates
Lawyers and Paralegals
Litigation Support
Legislative Staff Work
Foundations
-Historians in Businesses and Associations
Historians in Corporations
Contract Historians
Historians and Nonprofit Associations
And the beauty is, with your other degrees, not only would you be more acceptable for certain jobs that other people won't, but you'll also probably get paid more because of your IT experience, which is really becoming an enormous asset. I wish you luck.

Uh, well, technically I guess not, since virginity is technically a genital entry type situation. But really, virginity is pretty subjective. If you don't think it counts as sex, or you still consider yourself a virgin, then I don't think anyone is going have a right to argue that with you.
