whats the best way to get rid of poison ivy? i have like this big bump on my finger and its like filled with fluid or something.. should i pop it? and now its starting to grow on my other fingers and my arm.. what should i do? would this keep on spreading?? HELP
Zanfel, Ivy Cleanse Towelettes, and Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub are available over-the-counter. rubbing alchohal helps too. ya if it's spreading then that means you are touching it. don't pop it cause then the oils will get all over your skin and it will spread. Calamine lotion helps...ice helps. without treatment it should clear up in about 2 weeks. =]]]
are there any good acne scar removers out there that is cheap? i have tried cocoa butter and i have not seen any results at all and ive done this for like 2 months..
neutrogena acne scar removal works really well for me. you can get it at target or walmart. it's cheap..only about $3-$4. =]]]
I hang out with preps, but I don't limit myself to HCO, A&F, AE, Aero, or prep styles. I have a few ideas for new sneakers, but I want your opinion of which one I should get. Also, I can't get anything over $70...
1. White adidas' (cute but kind of expensive)
2. Black or Turquoise Chucks (are they alrite to wear.. trend-wise?)
3. Cute athletic shoes (which ones are "cute"?)
Any comments, other suggestions, or anything else would be AWESOME!
Thanks so much!
personally i LOVE the Puma atheletic shoes. they are sooooo cute!!!
I'm sorta pale and have dark hair so alot of people asume I'm goth and it really ticks me off! I just dont like outdoor activities and have a huge fear of bugs...I even think pale guys are way cute! I'm afraid maybe a guy wont think I'm as pretty because of my skintone...which isnt PAPER white I'm part native american so even when my skin is VERY base there is a little color in it and I have freckles. I dont know...I'm just worried guys wont think of me as cute/hot because of it..help?
if you don't want your skin to appear as very very light, then you can always lighten your hair to a lighter brown. that will make your skin tone look a little darker. =]]]
im 4'11 and im 85 pounds, and everyone calls me anorexic, because i have really skinny arms and legs and a stomach. but i have a pretty fat face. its not like i have a double chin or six chins or anything, just my cheeks are kinda fat. is there anyway to make them skinnier??
i'm not exactly sure but i heard that if you eat alot of sodium (salt) that it makes your face chunky. but as you get older you will loose that, it's just baby fat. your bone stucture will appear more as time goes by. but chunky faces are cute! =] hope i helped
ok well i sorta just got out of a bad reltionship like a month or two ago nd im finally starting to like other ppl...well theres this guy i like nd he knows i like him nd he said he likes me to but im not sure nd i realized that hes one of those playboy guys who has a lot of girls around him nd stays in reletionships for like a month but he seems different and i dont know im confused...i just sorta got away from a guy like that nd i dont want to get hurt again but i dont just wanna mess around for a month too...what do u think i should do?
i would be upfront with this new guy and tell him that you don't go out with players and that if he wants to go out with you then he has to be dedicated to just you. since you just got out of a bad relationship i can totally understand that you don't want this one to be messed up. so i wouldn't start it unless you both have a good conversation about what his feelings are. hope i helped! =]]] if you need any clarifying let me know!
There's this guy at my work whom I'm interested in. I'm into him mainly because he seems like a very nice, smart, hardworking guy. I'm quitting this job in about a month so I'm not worried about anything interferring with work. I know that he's single for sure, otherwise I wouldn't consider dating him. We've rarely spoken, but I believe he he may be interested in me too because of some signs he shows. For instance, whenever we pass by each other, he says hello to me in a nice soft way with a great looking smile. The way he smiles at me and the way he smiles to other people are different. When he smiles at me, he tends to look at me significantly longer than other girls and it just seems kind of familiar. It's hard to explain. We never actually talked before, we only exchanged a few words, but for some reason, we smile at each other like we already know each other. The first time we saw each other from a distance, it seemed like our eyes locked in and I cracked a little smile and so did he. Sometimes when I sense someone looking at me and I turn around and catch him looking at me, he looks the other way. When we pass by each other I sometimes see him look back at me. When he sees me coming to work in the same area he's working in, his face kind of lights up and smiles and says hello in a nice soft way. However, these little signs don't fill me with enough confidence that he finds me attractive.
You may be thinking, "If he really likes you, he would've asked you out already." Well, this guy seems shy and a bit insecure and we rarely get a chance to talk. He seems like the type of guy who wouldn't want a girl to know that he likes her if he wasn't sure if she likes him, too. He just seems like he would be too shy to ask a girl out.
I don't know if I should consider making any moves on this guy because I'm not totally sure that he likes me. Normally if I like a guy, I would try to have conversations with him before making a move to get to know him better, to see if he likes me and to find out if we're compatible. But in this case, it's difficult because most of the time we have different work schedules. When we do work in the same hours, there's rarely an opportunity for us to talk because we work in different sections of the store that are far apart and obviously because we're too busy working.
I have a few questions:
What indications would tell me that this guy finds me attractive and is interested in dating me, if he's a shy person and we rarely get a chance to talk?
Should I just stop worrying about having conversations with him at work and quit trying to find out if he likes me for sure because of our different schedules?
Should I let him know that I like him by telling him that I find him attractive and wait for him to make the first move or should I just approach him first and ask him out?
If I should make the first move, where, when, and how should I do it?
It seems to me that he likes you. What I would do is either hang around him whenever you get a chance at work and just be totally confortable and just strike a conversation with him. Another thing that you could try is getting his number from your boss. You could say that you want it so you can call to ask him if he could work a shift for you. But if you want a more direct approach then you could just go up to him and ask him if he wants to go grab a bite after work. Then that would give you guys alot of time to talk. good luck! hope i helped. =]]]
I know the subject makes it sound like I don't know if he like me or not... BUT THAT ISN'T THE QUESTION. This guy started liking me so I liked him eventually. Then he asked me on a date or something and I said yes. He asked me on the date over AIM and he made it sound like we were going out.. which I was fine with. Now some people say 'your going out with brittany' and he says 'no, we are just gunna hang out'. So.. I guess my question is, how can I get him to like me again. We are still going on a double-date tomorow to go to the mall and see a movie. I am 14/f and he is 14/m. I know some people may say 'play hard to get', but if you say that, please include ways I can do that. Please no critisizing about my situation because I left out some less important parts so it wouldn't be super long.. as in you don't really know the whole story. I RATE!!
heyy! it sounds like to me that he asked you out on the date, but you guys aren't going out yet. you are usually going out after you have had a few dates. it sounds like he does like you because he is still going on the date to the mall and movie. but if for some other reason you think he doesn't like you, then flirt a little, but not too much. if you want to play hard to get, then here is one way to do it: be aloof when you are with him, or in other words, don't be uptight and conscious about everything that is going on. but i would only play hard to get if he wasn't totally in-to-you. if he is then be in-to-him. sorry if this is confusing. also, boys think it is cool if a girl eats alot. well i mean, not too concerned with their figure. so if you feel like pigging out on popcorn and candy then don't hold back! lol. but don't make yourself eat if you aren't hungry. i think he totally likes you from what you already told me because he asked you out then after he said that to your friend he is still going out with you. hope i helped!! have fun!!! =]]]
alright well i have a lump in the back of my throat and i felt it to see what it was and it feels like a bone inside of my throat, it dosnt hurt or anything it just feels like a peice food is stuck or something, i'm kinda paniking so if anyone has any seriouse advice please answer thank you
i honestly don't know what it could be, but the best solution that i can think of to get it out if it's food is to drink alot of water. maybe you can flush it out of your throat. srry if i wasn't much help =]]]
This is quite long, sorry.
Ever since I was young, I've had what I suppose are 'bad' dreams. I've never really considered them bad, beacuse I've had them all my life. They generally involve running to things and running from things that want to hurt me. Some of the more vivid dreams have included me being beaten up, shot and almost raped [none of which, despite the pain, I've woken from like you see in the movies]. Most of these I don't really recall and I do know that the vividness and frequency is directly related to stress. However I found out today that I still have these sorts of dreams at least once a week, even though as far as I'm concerned I haven't been. And apparently they must be the vivid sort, since apparently I talk and cry in my sleep.
I've been informed by my partner and a good freind of ours that this really isn't normal and that I need to see a shrink. Isn't it and do I?
But that's not all. Again, since I was very young [since I was a baby too, apparently] I've always had trouble getting to sleep. It takes me a good 3 hours to get to sleep, some times longer if I'm stressed. I've tried all the tricks in the book, but the only reliable thing that will be knock me out almost straight away is a glass of wine followed by a painkiller [yeah I know - you can lecture me about how non-existant my liver is later]. Even when I was at school and was reliably going to bed at 10 and waking at 8, this was still the case. Again, I thought this was normal considering it's been happening my whole life, but again I'm infomed it's very not normal. Is this true?
Two more things, possibly related. My eyes don't shut completly when I close them. This sounds really freaky I know, and I know that it's true when I'm awake beacuse I can see out of the slits, but I'm told it happens when I'm asleep as well. I'm highly sure that this isn't normal... but it may relate to this: I'm never really awake. I often feel really groggy during the day despite getting a 'good' night's sleep. Dark thinks that not only might this be related to the dreams, but also to the fact my eyes don't shut, but I don't know. I wouldn't say that I feel groggy all the time, but a large percentage of it. The few times I've woken up feeling really energetic and awake where when I did the last NaNoWriMo and went to sleep on a tonne of caffene and when I had wine and then took a painkiller. So, is that normal too?
So, for those that couldn't be bothered to read the thing:
How normal is it to:
Have a high frequency of very vivid bad dreams? [What sort of frequency is normal for those sorts of dreams anyway?]
Not be able to sleep several hours after turning out the lights to sleep? [Is this what insomnia is? I thought it was only if you couldn't sleep ever]
Not wake feeling rested and refreshed, despite how you thought you had a good night sleep?
I don't want advice on how to get to sleep, I just want to know if I'm some sort of freak who should see a doctor and a shrink like my partner is trying to get me to. Hell, any discusion would probably be useful....
I really don't think a shrink is necessary. And if you go to a doctor he will just give you medication..which I don't believe is necessary. I used to have those types of dreams for the longest time. I don't know if you are Catholic, but I am and what I did, one night I prayed to Mary and asked her to please help me to not be afraid anymore and to take the bad dreams away, and I said 10 Hail Marys. That night I slept very soundly and my bad dreams have gone away ever since..that was a couple of years ago.
Now about not being able to sleep after several hours after turning out the lights. I am the exact same way. I usually sleep with the tv on to keep my company while I sleep. But you have a partner so you could possibly ask him to stay up with you if he doesn't mind.
About waking not feeling rested and refreshed, I used to be the exact same way. I told my mom about this and she gave me vitamins because she thought that I was vitamin-defficent or something. After a few weeks of vitamins and sleeping for about 8 hours, I eventually started waking refreshed.
This is completely normal and don't let anybody tell you that you aren't normal. =]]] hope I helped!
I am going to be a Junior this fall in highschool which basically means it is time to start looking for colleges
but honestly I don't even know where to start. Like i really don't know much about any college anywhere because well i don't follow college sports or anything to familiarize me with anything.
I know right now i can basically get into any school minus Like harvard (i have a gpa between 3.6- and 3.9 somewhere)
In the next few weeks my mom and I are going to some local schools around Pittsburgh Pa but outside of here i don't know of any schools!
I want to major in Elem. Ed. I think or something around that feild if that helps.
So basically my question is can someone give me some info -background- advice on any good schools for want to be teachers! i would prefer someone who acually knows about the school and not just researched it!
princetonreview.com is really good. you just register then you get access to thousands of schools with descriptions of everything you can imagine about the school. it's amazing. they tell you about the school's admission process, what tests are required to get into that school, gpa, extracurriculars..ect. registering is free. and they also let you practice the SATs and ACT. =]]]
My ex boyfriend is going to my school next year. he is very strong and could be very mean i kno he wont hurt me but i am worried about my new boyfriend weve been dating for about a month and when my ex found out he threatend to beat him up . now i dont know what to do i VERY VERY worried can some one please help me??!
Just try to not let him bother you. Tell your current boyfriend to not start any fights with him. Just tell him to be cool. Everything should be fine =]. If you and your boyfriend seem cool and undisturbed by him then if your ex tries to start something then he will look really stupid. hope i helped =]]]
Is there any certain type of food/s that will help put weight on ur arms and legs?
I'm assuming that you are doing this because you are underweight..I am the same way. Foods with alot of protein will most def help. Alot of meat, vegetables, junk food like twinkies, doughnuts, ect. Hope I helped =]]]
I'm thinking about studying medicine to be a pediatrician, I love kids. It all seems fun and (yes, I know a lot of work too) like something I could do. I'm not sure why but I feel drawn towards psychology, like dealing with people and the way they think. My question: is pediatric psychiatry something you would have to take a different route - in terms of schooling - for than to be a normal pediatrician? Thanks.
Wow I want to be the exact thing! lol. What I was thinkng of doing was just to major in college with psychology and then going to medical school. I'm not really sure but I don't think that you choose what type of doctor you want to be in medical school, so after med school you go to the job in medicine that you want to be. That is just what I heard so I'm not entirely sure. But I hoped I helped in some way =]]]
This boy asked me to dance at prom (about 1 or 2 months ago). I said yes to be nice, but I really don't like him like that. However, he then tried to follow me around the entire night, always trying to dance with me the whole time. After that we never talked (which, not to be mean, but I was kind of glad about). However apparently his friend got my number from facebook & left me some message, then he called me back to apologize. Then I just went on facebook & under "Status" for his friend it says he is helping the boy try to get a girl. Obviously this is me, since the message was about some date. Basically now I want to know how to turn down this boy without hurting him, in a respectful manner. I honestly do not want to date him, but I am sort of a sensitive person, so I do not want to be mean myself. How do I go about saying no if he does call for a date? (female, 17 years old).
If he calls for a date you can just say, "sure i would love to go. you know what? you are seriously a great friend. i am so happy to have a friend like you who. Alot of guys I know just want to be more than friends, you are different, and I like you. Can't wait to hang out!" So this way it gets through to him that you think it is just hanging out and you like him as only friends. hope i helped =]]]
hey my name is Rachel and iam 17 years old and my mom says that I can't go to a boys house or have a boy over my house even when she's home she says iam way to young for that,but she let my sisters have boyfriends over and have them over when they were only 15.I think the reason could be becouse I have attention deffesince disorder(add).do you think that could be the reason and how do I convince her that iam responsible enough to go to boys houses and have them over mine.Iam in special ed to could that be another reason?
heyy. if you want an arguement to give her then you could just plainly say: "mom, people shouldn't treat me different just because i am in special ed and have add. but because you are treating me different than my sisters you are giving me the impression that it is ok for people to treat me differently." that is all you have to say to get the sting out on what she is doing. but don't yell it, just plainly say it, like it a dinner or something, and just get up and plainly, quietly, walk away, and go into your room. hope i helped =]]]
SORRY ITS LONG i think im becoming anorexic because i never eat and well i eat but not alot.Yesterday i tryed to throwup on purpous but i couldt.Im scared for myself also iv been getting depressed latly and thinking about cutting i used to cut but i stoped because one of my ex friends told the school. I would never kill myself because i dont want to go to hell. After i cut myself i always feel so bad but i think i just feel that way because i dont want to get caught again.Boys and girls are always saying how hott i am but i dont think i am.I think im fat and ugly and i hate myself.It started around the time i started going out with my boyfriend.I cant brakeup with him because hes suacidel and i like him a real lot also he says i love you to me and i need to hear it.I need help! i need someone to talk to.DONT say my mom and dad because my mom has a deadly sickness and they have unuff stress and i dont realy trust any of my friends because i dont want them to tell like befor.Ohh ya i love to get hurt because i love the Sympathy and so i make when ever has happened worce. THANXS
heyy. becoming anorexic will not solve your problems. it takes a long time to loose weight with that method. by the time you are as skinny as a rail you could die. it does seem like you have confidence issues..but what teen doesnt! you are COMPLETELY normal! =] trust me. everybody thinks that they are fat and ugly, but trust me, you aren't. everygirl looks in the mirror and only sees the negative points. go to the mirror and look at everything that you DO like. i had this same problem. what i did was avoid mirrors as much as possible and when i did need to use a mirror, i just kept repeating "i am beautiful." it helped majorly. i don't have anymore confidence issues. if your boyfriend started these confidence issues then i really would suggest breaking up with him. if he is suicidal then you could try to get him some help. there are orginizations that helped suicidal teens without even seeking their identity. if you want someone to talk to here are 2 numbers you can call: 800-828-8173 and 800-585-1172. these numbers help teens with their problems, you can just talk to them. also you can always talk to me, i will be happy to help =]]
ok so im in this youth group, and everyone is very cliquey, i dont know what to do or who to talk to because i have talked to some poeple, adn they dont seem to want to help me....what does everyone think i should do?
heyy. i think that you should just go to each group and socialize. and smile alot! get on their good side! don't be shy, don't look down, don't be quiet. participate alot in the activities. hope i helped =]] and let me know if you have any more questions! =]]]]
There is this guy that likes me and I like him back. But we arent going out yet. But he thinks that I am more experienced then I really am. He knows I am virgin though. Is it really a big deal that I told him that I have done more then making out even though I havent. I dont want to tell him that I lied to him. I dont really think it is a big deal though. Do you?
heyy. i know exactly what you're going through. last year i told my boyfriend that i had kissed a boy before and i really hadn't. i just didn't want him to think thati was inexperienced. we ended up dating for 7 months and i just never told him. now we are broken up. i really did wish i had told him the truth because we didn't have the most awesome relationship..and that whole lie caused me alot of problems..like everytime he tried to kiss me for the first 2 months i ran away lol. so it might not seem like the best idea at the moment, but just call him up and say: "heyy. i want to be completely honest with you before we start a relationship, i haven't done more than making out. i only said that because i didn't want you to think that i was inexperienced. i know that i lied and it wasn't a good thing to do. i just hope you can forgive me. i really like you and i really want to go out with you. and i hope you still do too."
hope i helped! let me know if you need anything else =]]]
how do i get them to notice me?! i might not be the prettiest girl but i know im not ugly and i havent had a bf yet. not even a first kiss. im 13/f and idk how i can get noticed.
heyy. dont stress about finding a guy because once you stop looking he will be there! trust me. but if you have your mind on one certain guy then here is something that almost always works: be aloof when around him, pretend like you really don't care that you are talking to him. boys want what they can't have, so pretend that he can't have you. also smile alot! guys love girls that smile..it shows that they are fun and can light up a room! hope i helped =]] and let me know if you have any more questions! =]]]]
