hey!
dont worry your dad knows in some point of your life your going to need to get pads for your period. you should try talking to him about it because he's probably worring that your not going to be talking to him about this kinda stuff since your mom isn't here. next time when your out with your friends just buy your pads then..you can always talk to your relatives like a aunt or older cousin.. if you and your dad go shopping for stuff just go grab a pack of pads and tell your dad you need to get these so have him buy it..hope this helps!!

hey there!
dont worry about how many bras you need because you dont need like 10 bras...let your dad know that you need to buy some "girl stuff" and ask him if he could give you some money and you can go with your friends to get it. if you want try talking to your aunt or older cousins about it maybe they can help you..if you go to department store or victoriaq secrets they can help you.. hope this helps!!

Q: Can anyone teach me how to blow dry my hair straight? Like step by step or something like it. I DO NOT have a round brush, so please teach me a way that doesn't include one, thanks!

hey there!
sometimes you can just brush your hair down straight and let it dry itself. if you want to use your blow dryer then just the same thing brush your hair down straight and when you use your blow dryer make sure hold the blow dryer you want it on top of your head and it should be facing straight down..dont shake your head just tilt it to the side and you can use your hands or a brush to help dry it. hope this helps!!

Q: So I went to the beach about two weeks ago and got a lot of sun. I'm just now starting to peel on my chest. What is the best thing to do to make it go away?
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hey there!
remember just dont peel or pick at the dry peeling skin because you can get a scar and if you got a burn then it will turn into a tan later so if you peel the skin your tan will look funny. put some aloe vera or vasaline..try to moisturize your chest a lot like when you see it getting dry...it will go away soon just moisturize and then leave it alone..hope this helps!!

Q: i just recently got the st. ives apricot scrub for oily skin because i have oily skin.. i was wondering if i will eventually see results because i want my acne to go away... and if it does work, do it work real well and when will i see results?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hey there!
it will probably work but the problem is that if you have a lot of bad acne then you shouldn't use any face scrubs because then it spreads your acne to other place. if you do use it you have to make sure you wash your face really good because if your st.ives face scrub is like the sand that stuff will go into your pores and it will get clogged in your pores which will cause break outs and make your face not as smooth. st.ives face scrub takes off your dead skin so you need to moisturizer your face after..hope this helps!!

Q: My 11 year old brother confided in me that he likes to look at naked men. ohhh boy--that is just something that I'd rather not know! but he feels comfortable talking to me about it (i don't though..lol) he will not tell my parents. he is DEEPLY religious. and he knows the catholics frown upon gays. but yeah, he tells me that he likes flipping through magazines and ENJOYS looking at naked men...this creeps me out a little. he was freaking out last night asking me what i thought--and i told him that he's not gay (idk if he is though..but i just said that to make him feel better or else he would have a SPAZ if i told him i thought he was. like i said, he is DEEPLY religious.) --and i also told him that maybe he was just curious..idkkk he doesn't know. but i feel VERY uncomfortable talking to him about thsi but there's no one else he can talk to. he asks me stuff about sex too and i don't know how to answer him. can anyone help me? thannnnnnks :)

your brother is still at a young age and he's probably just curious. he might be gay or he might not be gay. he's coming to you because he can trust you and doesn't think that you will make fun of him. i dont think you should tell your parents because they might freak out and try to control your brother. let your brother know that you feel uncomfortable talking to him about this and see if he could try to talk to someone else like another family member or school counselor. also let him know that your going to suuport him through this time because he's going to be very confused and he doesn't know what to do. well hope i helped!

hey there!
dont worry i got the same problem... sometimes when i wear fitted shirts i make a little fold or wrinkle right where my bellybutton is so then its you can notice it. you can always try losing a little weight by doing some sit ups. instead of wearing more than one shirt try wearing tank tops cuz then its not as thick..well hope i helped!

dont tell her straight out that she sucks.. just help her out and lead the way. when you guys make out try to be cute or sexy when you say things like "here try it this way" or "let me teach you". maybe you want to tell her how you like it when you guys make out. have patience and take things slow..she'll learn..hope i helped!

Q: okay, so last year around this time i started going out with this kid zach. it was amazing and we both fell completely in love. after 6 months, he broke up with me, and i found out later that he had been in a lot of trouble with drugs and that sort of thing. since then, he's been arrested twice and he actually just got out of jail 2 weeks ago. but throughout all of this, ive always been there for him and we've still kind of been 'together'. but the 2nd time he was arrested, i figured it'd be for a lonnnng time... so i started talking to this kid josh. josh is the NICEST person ever. he doesnt do any drugs or stuff like that .. hes really nice and polite and romantic and all that. we both like eachother and talk every day. but now that zachs back hes been trying really hard to fix up everything in his life, he really is a good kid that got into bad stuff. hes gotten a job, and is working hard to make things okay, but my mom still doesnt want me seeing him for ovbious reasons.. and i understand that, but she said i could talk to him occasionally on the phone. what she doesnt know is that ive snuck around to see him when she wasnt around.. 3 times so far. i love zach, and he loves me,, and ifeel like i should try to work for that.. even though its exhausting and would take a while to be okay. but i also am interested in josh, and it would be so easy and maybe even good to try something new and have a good time.zach knows about josh, but josh doesnt know that i am still talking to zach alot. i dont know what to do-- i dont want to hurt anyone. but i just have this feeling that if i go with josh, when things are cleaned up for zach ill want that back. ahhhh im so confused. and i need some good advice please. hope this made some sort of sense. thanks

hey there!
i know that this is a hard decision for you, but no matter what happens things will turn out fine. i think that you should give zach some more time work things out in his life. he is probably trying to turn his life around because he loves you and knows that you care for him so he doesnt want you to be hurt or have to worry for him. i think you should also give josh a chance, try getting to know him better. you can work on both of your friendships with zach and josh. if you do go with josh, dont stop talking to zach because he needs you to support him by letting him know that your always going to care about him and that he is always going to be in your life. if you go with zach, make your friendship strong with josh to let him know you care about him too. dont worry there is no limit on how many people you can care about or how many people you can have in your life as family, friends, lovers, strangers, and of course there will be haters. i cant tell you what to do.. you have to listen to your heart and follow it and know that it feels right. i hope i helped! if you need anything else just leave something in my inbox. i hope things will work out fine and i know that they probably will...

Q: This isn't like a real question,its more like just seeing who agrees. I want to give out advice but it's hard giving out advice when I have my own problems. Like I can't go on any type of love, friend, family, or school topics because I'm going through the same things. Have you ever felt wanted but can't give any help because of your own problems, and then you feel even worse? Well thats how I feel... The one place where my opinion matters, I can't help.

i can understand what your saying. sometimes i want to help answer as many questions as i can but most of my advice that i give out are similar to each other. i have experience for some questions because i've known friends or family that have similar problems, but for myself i've never come to some of those problems. i like giving advice on this site because i can help people and people can listen to my opinion and try using it. sometimes its hard for me to give advice for my friends and family because they dont care for my opinion. i think its good for you to try to help out other people even though you have the same problem. you give advice to other people for the same problems you have help yourself know that you have your own advice but you just cant use it yourself. i know you might not understand what im tryin to say but its hard you have to type it out and someone else having to read it in a different expression from how you typed it.

oh my gosh! you need to get some help and dont listen to what he says. he has no right to hit you nor should his friends think they can do whatever. he is probably threating you not to tell anyone because he is scared. you need to tell your parents and have them go with you to tell the cops. remember just stay away from him and dont feel guilty that he is going to get in trouble because he deserves it. let him get taken and put away so he can never hurt you again. i hope i helped!

Q: There is this guy named Thomas that I really like. We are pretty good friends, and he's really nice. He's athletic, funny, nice, cool, fun, kinda cute, and everything I want. But I have recently realized that I like him more than a friend. I'm almost positive that he likes me, too. And when he is driving down the road, he makes a point to stop his truck, just to say hi, and if I'm walking past his house, he comes out side, sometimes in just boxers to say hi, and give me a hug. But there is two problems, #1- He is 16 and I am only 13, and #2- He has slept with half the girls in our Jr/Senior High School. What do I do???

i think that you should try getting to know him more and become even better friends with him because you guys will make your friendship stronger. age doesn't matter. if you dont mind that he's been with other girls than take a chance. remember just be careful and dont let pressure make your decisions. i hope i helped!

Q: so I recently met this great guy & now he's my boyfriend. it seems like we've known each other forever tho. anyway, i kinda want a schedule of what we should do & when... we've held hands, kissed & made out. we love each other as much as possible for the about of time we've known each other. when would be a good time to do something new? can you point me in the right direction? I don't want it to seem like we're rushing things. i'm 15 almost 16, he's 16 almost 17. thanks a lot!

Hey there!
In my opinion.. I dont think that you should schedule what you two do because you should let things happen by themselves. Just let things be at where they are. You dont have to move too fast or too slow. When you feel the time is right to try something new then go for it! If you want things to least just take things slow. Put some thought into things that you two are going to be doing. Never do anything that you dont want to do. When you two feel like your relationship isnt interesting then try something new. Try not to hold hands, kiss and make out all the time because then things will start to get boring that you two may stop doing those things. I hope I helped! I can only TRY to point you to the right direction but your heart can only lead you to the right direction. Sorry its so long and took me so long to answer you. If you need any more advice on anything go right ahead and leave more in my inbox!

Q: THere is this boy that I have been friends with since kindergarten and now im in seventh and hes in eighth grade. We have always been really good friends, but now I am really starting to like him in a different way. I think he might also, even though he says he like someone else. But he always asks me who I like and I just say "i dont know" because Im not sure if he really likes me. But we have also gotten alot closer. like Ill lean on him and stuff when we would never do that before. I would really like to date him, but im scared that if I date him now that we wont have a deeper relationship later on in our lives. Im also worried that we would stop being friends when if we break up. I know im only in seventh grade, but ive always dreamed of spending the rest of my life with this guy. Can anyone help me? Ill rate

If this guy is your best friend, I dont think that you should date him because if you guys do break up you guys aren't going to be friends again. You guys are still in middle school and its just so young to be thinking about spending the rest of your life with someone. I think you two should just continue being friends until your friendship has grown stronger. If you guys just stay as best friends then you two will go a long way, but when being in a relationship it changes everything. Staying friends is always the best. I know you might not like this answer, but it is true most of the time and I wouldn't want you to regret it. Hope this helps!

Q: 15/f- Okay so theres this guy, Ryan. Hes one of my friends cousins, and Lives like 2 hours away from me. I met him last summer, and ever since then, we hang out everytime hes in town. Well usually when we hang out, theres a little flirting and stuff, like we bicker back and forth and stuff like that, but when we hung out time before last, he wrote me this big long not on my cell phone about how he hoped I didnt think he didnt like me because of the "fighting" because he did. Well I didn't know whether to take that as he liked me as a girl friend or friend. Well he was over here last night with 2 of his friends, and we were all hanging out. We started cuddling and holding hands and stuff. When he was leaving, we were standing by his car and he had his hands around my waist, and we almost kissed, but my mom ruined it lol... well anyways, neither of us will really take the first move. I would, but its been like a year and a half since I've made out with anyone, so I'm afraid I'm gonna suck at it again. Its like starting all over for me. And I'm scared he'll pull away, because I misread the signals or something. I don't know. But I'm starting to like him a lot, and he said he liked me when we were laying outside. So I just dont know what to do. He'll be here in 3 weeks again. Any advice? Please, anything would help.

Next time when he come to see you just make a move. Ask him out or kiss him. If he said he likes you and you know that you like him then what's stopping you. I dont think he will mind that you aren't the world's best kisser lol. Well if you can't wait for the 3 months than call him and make your move. Hope this helps!

There isn't anything wrong with you.There are a ton of girls and guys like this. You just haven't found the right person yet. There was a reason why you turned down those guys, its because you probably didn't like them or for another reason. It's better to not date someone that you know that you dont like then to hurt them. Sometimes it is good to just go on a date to get to know the person more which helps you know what kinda of person you want to date. For some guys it is a turn off, but hey if you dont tell them they dont know. Its more fun to be unexperienced the to be experienced. Hope this helps!

Ask someone if they could help you put it in their dryer when they dry their clothes. Or bring it to one of those Wash n Dry places and just use the dryer. Hope this helps!

Hey everyone! So I've been away from this website for a few years and I've recently stumbled upon it again. I feel that I'm more experienced to give mo and better advice. I've grown and developed so much these past few years that I have a completely different mentality from when I first found this site.
Enough about that, well it's nice to meet you all and my name is Amanda! I hope to really help by giving the best advice I can. I'll always be free and open to help anyone out so don't hesitate :)
