Heyo. I love my life because I believe that I live my life to the fullest and cherish every moment of every day (despite how boring some days may be =P).
I am only 17 (going on 18), but have grown more and learned more than some people a whole lot older than me. I have gone through many chapters of my life and also changed like a chameleon, but believe that I have finally found my color. Despite any religious background someone might have, I just give my advice through advice I have been given by reading the bible, listening to peoples problems (you learn alot of things by listening to your own advice), and also listening to public speakers of many aspects.
I am not here to be a hypocrite or as a person has once said *to promote my site*, but I am more so here to help.
I believe that I have a talent for giving advice to people. I do not take personal offense to anything someone may say because I believe everyone is entitled to there opinion as I have been as well.
My promise to you, even all those that I may not know, is to be honest and use my past experiences and knowledge to help you through whatever you may be going through from problems at home to how to make a delicious cake frosting =D
I hope that all I say may help you, but if it does not, do not be upset or resentful, just keep looking for the answer that you may be searching for. Afterall, If I dont state it, it may have been in front of your face the entire time.

What is the average height for a twelve year old girl?
The average height usually differs by gender and also race. So depending on your race and genetic background, it may be a little higher or lower.
But in general, the average height of a 12 year old girl is around 5"0' - 5"2'.
Feel free to check out a website that talks about average heights and weights for infants to teenagers:

i hate exercising. i really do. what are ways to find and stay motivated and inspired to exercise?
I use to hate exercising too.
What you have to do is set a goal for yourself.
For example, try being competitive with yourself and try to run a mile under 10 minutes (or any time amount) then as you continue to exercise try to lower the time you have to complete the mile and see how fast you get!
Also, you could listen to high powered/energizing songs while you exercise because they should get you hyped up and more in the mood to run and jump around.
Or you could just be like my friend and if you go to a public gym, look for a hot guy/girl to look at (haha). But it honestly does motivate her to go to the gym (since she HATES working out) because she wants to see one of the trainers there that she thinks is "amazing".
Goals will help you the most in staying motivated to work out.
I hope this is the type of motivation you were looking for. =]

okay, i've known this guys since i was like two, and now i'm foureen, so quite a long time! but 5 five years ago i started to get a crush on him, i realise i was only nine, but since then the crush has been on and off. but recently i thought it was off, but then i seem to dream about him all the time, and we flirt all the time... so my question is, if you dream about a guy, does it mean you like them? hmmm... x
Dreaming about a guy could mean you like them, however dreams usually consist of what you think about before you go to sleep.
If you find yourself thinking about him and the situation rite before you go to sleep, you are most likely going to dream about him that night because as you fall asleep you are continuing to think about it, which can turn into a dream.
Basically, the more you think about something the higher the chance there is to have a dream about it.
I hope this is the type of answer you were looking for. =]

Whales, Giraffes, Elephants, Kangaroos, Owls, and Koalas.
I hope this is what you were looking for, if not just be a little more specific and I can find out the answer for you.

im 15 and im alwayssssss tired.
no matter if i get 12 hours of sleep or 5
i find myself taking a nap everyday.
and the other day i took a 6 hour nap. and thats wayyy too long.
a couple months back i was sick and very weak and stuff so my mom took me to the doctor and they didnt know what i was, but i got over the cold
and they tested me for animea but i didnt have it
and she asked me if i was depressed and im not
and idk why im always tired and its kinda annoying now.
like i have summer school so i wake up at 630 and then get home at around 1245 and then ill eat something and around 2ish ill take a nap till around 6 or 7.
and its a constant repeating thing.
what can i dooo?
Your situation sounds like there may be something "medically" wrong, but if the doctor says no then i suppose not.
Working out (exercising) usually works the best to give you more energy. Although you will be tired the first few times you work out, in the long run exercising will give you more energy to stay up. So basically you won't need so much sleep.
Also, you may want to check your eating habits. The more things that you eat that are good for you will also provide you with more energy. Fruits and vegetables are what they call "candy thats good for you". Basically, fruits and vegetables can provide your body with the same energy that candy/caffeine, but doesn't have the horrible crash later on in the day.
I hope these were the type of answers you were looking for.

okay.
i signed up for phonezoo.com.
and the verification code was sent to my phone and everything.
but i was just wondering.
is it free to use?
Yes the ringtones are free. However, they send the tones to you via text messages & then require you to download the songs from online (on your phone).
So even though you're getting free tones, remember that the text messages and internet usage on your phone isn't free. So be sure to check up on how much usage you are allowed for both to be sure you don't use up too much money. =]

Advicenators,
I have a month until school starts
& i hav an hour or two every day to lay out
Just be outside, swim, read magazines, etc.
I was wondering, when is the best time of day to get tan? Is tanning oil a good or bad idea? Any tips? How long should i stay in the sun? How long does it take to get your face tan?
Thanks in advance
Hey,
The best time to tan is usually between 12 & 2pm because the sun is basically at its highest and strongest point.
Tanning oil isn't a very good idea because it helps you tan but usually doesn't protect from UV rays that can cause skin cancer (and more wrinkles when you're older).
The best thing to use is a sunscreen, depending on how tan you are able to get usually, you could probably use an "8" sunscreen. The 8 sunscreen will provide you with the abililty to get tan, yet still help prevent bad UV rays.
Its best not to stay in the sun for too long or you may get burned & be sure to carry/drink plenty of water so you don't become dehydrated.
And the time your face takes to get tan depends. Some people's faces don't really tan so it may take longer to get it as tan as your body. Whereas some people's faces tan quite fast.
Pretty soon I'm sure you'll have a lovely tan. Just remember not to wear bathing suits that may give you an "akward" tan.

so there was this video on waxing eybrows where they had this machine do something it was like a laser so i have some questions....do u just walk in they put wax on, take it off, then walk out or is there mor too it??Does it hurt ur first time???is there a way to make it less painful????
Hey, the video you saw must have been lazer hair removal of the eyebrows. This is for people that don't like constantly having to remove hair from their body.
When you go in, they clean your face then put the wax on, then they take it back off. This process is done many times to remove hair from the top & bottom of both eyebrows and the middle where some people have a "unibrow". Then they will pluck the hairs that the wax did not take off & use scissors to shorten your eyebrows if they're too long. Then they apply lotion on them & tada you're done!
Yes it does hurt the first time since there is alot more hair than if you have gone regularly. And no there is not a way to really make it less painful, its not that bad, it just hurts for a little while.
Remember that some people "break out" rite after getting your eyebrows done so be careful what you have planned after it the first time (just to see how you react). And the area will be red for a few minutes after getting them done.

my boyfriend was an ass. i dumped him. but i cant keep myself off his myspace checking up on him. we are both the jealous types. throughout the whole relationship we'd get iffy about either of us talking to other girls/guys. now that we're apart i have to see if he's been talking to other girls. i hate it, but i want to know. on the other hand, signs of him flirting/dating/falling someone else would hurt me a lot and id be pissed, so quite frankly i DONT want to know. how can i stop this madness?
Hey. Don't worry this is not an unusual situation at all. My sister seemed to fall into this right after breaking up with her boyfriend and many others that I've talked to (and myself) have done things like this over guys that they like even.
The reason for always checking his myspace for dirt, in my opinion, is that you still have feelings for him. I'm exactly like you, very jealous and jealousy can sometimes turn into possession. Perhaps you still look at him as "yours" which makes you feel like his business is still "your" business. Therefore, you find yourself seeing what he is up to even though you don't exactly need to.
You said it youself that if you saw signs of him flirting and such with someone else you would be hurt very much, which is a clear sign that you are not over him.
However, you are going to have to try to get over him in order to stop this obsession. In order to stop caring for him so much however, you are going to need to have more self control and not allow yourself to go to his page so often because by continuing to check up on him, you are keeping yourself attached to him.
So basically, if you ever catch yourself checking up on him, just think about how much you would rather not be and close that screen! Its going to be hard at the beginning to avoid doing it and you're probably going to slip a few times, but in the long run I'm sure you'll lose those deep feelings for him that kept you so attached to checking up on him.
If you still need help don't hesitate to ask, I am here to help if theres anything else you need to know! =]

Hi! Ok, I am a BIG Christian and I want to stay a virgin until I am married. That's one of my goals. Well, I don't have a boyfriend right now, even though I have had dork ones in the past, and I get... how should I say it... sexual desires. Like I'm afraid that I want to have sex SO bad and that I'll do it before I'm married. I don't want that! TO reduce these, I can't masturbate or any of that shit, and I don't know anyting else. What could I do to reduce sexual desires? Because it seems sooo hard! I mean, come one! It's just aaah! I want to have sex and stuff, but I want to stay a virgin until I'm married (I mentioned that before too many times, lol, sorry!) So, what do you say I do? Anything to reduce sexual desires?
This is a serious question------ please don't delete!
Hey, well I am glad that you came on here for help. I am also not going to having sexual relations until I am married and have found myself in the same situation as you before. What I think you should do is spot exactly what might give you these "sexual desires" and try to avoid those situations.
For example, lets say watching dating shows or romantic movies (that may include adult type situations concerning sex and promoting desire) gives you excitement, just try to stop watching movies or shows like that.
If you still don't understand how you can do that, just think about your religious beliefs everytime you get these desires. Your faith should be able to reassure you that you won't fall to sex before marriage (im not judging your faith if thats what it sounds like sorry, im just trying to say that if you look inside yourself you'll see that your desire for sex isnt as great as your desire to obey/respect the word of the LORD by waiting to have sex till marriage).
If my advice isn't deep enough or you still have questions concerning your situation or even just have a weak moment, just follow your faith and you may ask me more questions if you would like to.
Like I said, I've been in your situation before and have found these ways a great help to me during my weaker moments.

Ok, so my hair stylist told me I shouldn't use baby shampoo on my kids. She claims that tear-free soaps and shampoos contain Novocaine or something similar.
Now, I'm no fool. I go home, first thing I do is read the ingredients listed on the bottle of shampoo. Nowhere do I find Novocaine, or any other "caine" type of ingredient.
So I tried looking it up online. Someone asked it on Yahoo Answers and said it also contains formaldehyde.
What the...? Come on! Give me a break, already, ok?
I'm not very internet savvy, so that's the best I could come up with. So please don't tell me to Google.
I don't need to have this concern about the soap that goes into the eyes, noses, ears, and sometimes mouths of my children!
Please! Somebody give me a FACT.
Solid Fact.
Links to reliable sources GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Don't worry that you may do looking for nothing- I do rate accordingly.
Thanks for your help...
Hey, I researched your question and found a link that will tell you about something called "Phthalates" that are possibly present in some baby care products.
In the website you will learn what exactly phthalates are (chemical compounds used to soften plastics in household products, cars, & plastic bottles) and the research of its presence in not only the actual product, but also the package or bottle the product comes in. The website will also give you animal study results about phthalates.
On the second page, you can read about how to learn whether certain products have these chemicals, which is by going on to a brand's particular website to see if it contains any phthalates or closely related chemicals. For example, if you are wondering about Johnson's brand, simply go to a search engine, type in "Johnson's" etc. and it should give you the actual website, there you will be able to find the ingredients list in their products. The reason you may not have seen novocaine or phthalates on the bottle is because it is not by law required and is allowed to be listed under the general term "fragrance". You also mentioned that it may contain Novocaine or other things, and the brand's website will tell you if it does in fact include those things.
Here is the website and don't forget to go onto page 2.

If this is not enough information please feel free to ask for more, I can always look up more information for you if you need it, this type of stuff is serious, especially when it comes to little babies.

where can i read reveiws for the broadway musicals? like is there a site or something i can go to. Also, the reveiws for the musicals that played in chicago
Hey. This link should direct you to a site that lists most of the Broadway plays. It also offers tickets for upcoming shows. I know you are interested in the reviews though so all you have to do is click on "read reviews" under whichever musical you are interested in and it should show you well detailed reviews and a musical summary.
http://gonyc.about.com/od/broadwayshows/tp/bway_musical.htm
(you may need to copy and paste it into your browser) (also if there aren't enough musicals on the site im sure you could browse around it and find more)
This link should direct you to the musicals that have played in chicago and are due to play soon. Just click shows & go to whatever musical you are interested in.
http://www.broadwayinchicago.com/
(again you may have to copy/paste)
Hopefully these websites will help you on your musical review quest =]

when u put a tampon on ur supposed to put it in at an angle or it hurts. but in different sex positions, well it "goes in" different ways. how does that work?
To be honest I couldnt answer this question from personal experience since I am abstinent. However, I am pretty sure that the reason you are suppose to put a tampon in a certain angle is to prevent causing any discomfort. I'm sure many people would stop using tampons if they put it in at the completely wrong angle cause im sure it would hurt.
The applicator of a tampon is straight, hard, and not bendy at all, whereas as during sexual intercourse, the penis is able to move around not stay stiff.
Hopefully that answered your question =]

Okay, so i have a brag sheet i need to fill out this summer. If anyone doesn't know what that is, it's basically telling all about your high school career and any awards, or activities you have been apart of throughout your years in highschool. Okay, so It says
Major:_____________
here, do i have to put the major i think i want? I really am not sure which of the two majors I want. Or do I just put which major I think I may want?
Job Selection:___________
Here..i'm assuming I put what i'd like to do after college? I'm not sure though, so..i know it's a stupid question.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!
Hey. I've had to fill out so many bragsheets in my life, especially for scholarships and such.
For the majors section you just want to choose which of the two you are most interested in. The reason for this is because I think that whoever is receiving your bragsheet would want to see that you have your mind made up (it may show determination or commitment).
And yes, you want to write what you would like to do with your major. Like if you wanted to be a teacher you would write Liberal Studies for "Major" and High School teacher or something as "job selection".
I hopefully answered your question =]

Ok, so this spring I didn't play any sports, gained some weight, then went to Italy and gained LOTS of weight. A week ago I was 5'5" and 142 pounds. I started this plan on the day that I weighed myself and I am so proud of how I've stuck to it! I'm eating plenty (1200 calories at the very minimum) and exercising enough that each day I have a 1500 calorie deficit. That's almost half a pound a day! I should be losing weight! After the first day I was 139, and now after spending a week trying so hard, I'm 140! I don't understand how this could be. I know my body is looking better than it did before, i'm happy with the results so far, but I don't know why it wouldn't show up on my scale.
I've been doing a lot of cardio and weight training, and I know my body isn't doing that "starvation" thing people talk about because I'm eating enough, so what's the problem? should I just give up?
To answer your question to the point...No you should not give up. Although most people want to look at the scales to say they have really accomplished something, they are completely wrong. Weight is only a number, what really matters is health.
A person could be 110 lbs and never gain anything even when all they drink is soda & eat 10 lbs of french fries a day, but it does not mean they are in good health - it seems more like a heart attack away.
You have to remember that although fat takes up more room on your body (the outward appearence especially) muscle weighs more! However, muscle takes up far less space (which accounts for your lack of weight loss yet better physical appearence).
You must also realize that results arent able to come in a day. It could take a while to reach a goal that you may want, but I am positive that the results will be worthwhile! Just dont give up and keep on trying hard and dont lose that determination in your soul.

Ever since we moved closer to my family in Indiana my mom never lets me see them. I went this weeked to see them for the first time in like 3 months. I only get to see my dad like two days every 3 months. She won't let me go see him ever. he had to argue with her just to let me stay father's day with him. I have to go straight home after that. She says i have to work...I don't even had a job! She has nothing against my dad i used to stay with him for months at a time before and noiw i barley see him at all. What can i do i feel caged. She does that with my friends to and she now she does it because i've talked to her about it. She just won't let me do anything because she wants me at home with her. What can i do.
I assume that this issue with your mother most likely has to do with your age. I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm sure there have been quite a few years passed since you were "staying months" with your dad. As a child grows older, many parents have different ways of handling it. Some parents embrace the years and let nothing change, however some parents try to hold on to everything they've had (including time with you) in fear that they may soon lose it. As you become older I see that your mother is just experiencing stress due to the fact that you're getting older as is she and that she doesnt have alot of time with you. Just try to tell her you love her as much as possible. Other than that there is not much more that you can do besides talking to her & explaining that you would like to see your dad more often.
You could even suggest that she per chance take a trip with you to see your dad (If she really wants to be that protective).
Just love that you have a mother that loves you so much and have fun with what you have. =]

I've never kissed a boy before, and a guy asked me to make out with him. How do I kiss him? I NEED ALL HINTS, TIPS AND POINTERS YOU GOT! TELL ME EVERYTHING!
Sorry, but there is honestly no way to answer this question or give any hints. Like many other people have said, it will definately come naturally. I seriously think that ever human being thinks the same thing before they have kissed someone. Will I be a good kisser? Will I do it wrong? How am I suppose to do it anyways?
These are all very unnecessary questions. When it happens, it just flows. However, I would like to say that the experience is alot different when you actually have deep feelings with a person rather than just someone that wants to "make out". Just offering a little more advice than asked.
With Love
Kori
If you ask someone out, and they say no, what do you do next?
You should try to move on. Clearly the person is not interested at the moment and trying to do anything more about persuading them may just turn them further away. If you are trying to persuade this person into the relationship it is probably not gonna work and you should just leave it alone and who knows what may happen. :)
Peace & Love!!!

ok last night at my 13th birthday party i made out for the first time
and after i did it, for some reason i thought it was gross. but i didnt know if i did it right, and i know this guy has a lot of experience. and now im like paranoid this he thinks im terrible. but he knew he was my first.
how do i keep myself from not worrying about it and does anyone have like detailed pointers on the process of making out? haha
thanks in advanceee!
What I think the problem is that you really have is that you care too much about what people think about you. Don't get me wrong there are so many people that are the exact same, basically just being excepted or "cool" is your motivation. Just don't worry about what he may think or how you did. A possible reason that you may have disliked the kiss was because there was no emotion in it. It seems to me as though you just kissed a guy at your party that may have offered it. Just be worry free and you don't need pointers. :) Just do what feels right and if it really means something you will find that satisfaction.
Peace & Love!!!

Well i'm knew with having a boyfriend. I'm going into 8th grade, and i have my first real boyfriend.
So i was wondering if you knew anything fun we could do together(besides movies, we've done that)
Thanks!
Why don't you guys try to go somewhere that you can be more social? Try going to a restaurant, just a chill place like Chipotle or Rubios. This should be more beneficial to your relationship because it allows you two to talk more, unlike the movies which in many ways prevents true conversation. Peace & Love!!!
