Q: Can you get sunburnt on your scalp, i.e. through your hair? (mine's quite thick and long). I've been in the sun all day and now my scalp is itching. What can i do to soothe it? (I can't really put aftersun cream in my hair??!!)
ouch! definetly part your hair differently then when it was when it got sunburned so it won't get sunburned there again. *If* it starts peeling, head and shoulders helps soothe that. if it burns then put ice cubs and let them melt. if its extremely bothering you put tiny amounts of aloe on it, which will help make it feel better and keep it from peeling even though the aloe might get in your hair, just wash your hair before you go because it will really help. it will take a couple days to get better! hope it heals quickly!

Q: ok,
i CAN buy & download music on my iTunes.i CAN listen to it on iTunes.And i CAN connect my ipod to my computer.But the songs i download on iTunes will not transfer to my ipod!! on the screen of the ipod it says "do not disconnect" and it wont stop saying that.then it says on itunes "another user on this computer is useing the Ipod software. So iTunes is unable to communicate with this iPod.Please ask the other user to log out" no one is on itunes besides me!!! and i have the CD for it also!! why is it not letting me transfer my songs to my ipod?

ps- my friend gave me a cd she burned of her ipod's songs,and i tried putting it on itunes but it didnt transfer,so i deleted the songs.

I WILL RATE 5!!!!
thats happened with me before, the user thing, but you have to go on everyone's settings on your computer and log out of them. and you can be the only one whos settings is on. your computer should recognize there is a CD in the drive and it should pop up on itunes. then you click on the import circle on the upper right hand side and the songs should go into itunes. when you plug your ipod in into the computer, make sure you click update ipod. if your songs still won't import, then redo the whole thing of initiating your ipod to the computer and getting itunes. check the apple website if you have further problems:
www.apple.com

also if you actually think there is something wrong with the ipod itself, then go to an apple store and they should figure it out. my battery ran out so they replaced it for 30$.

hope this long answer helps...

Q: okay so my nose has blackheads and i wanna get rid of them my friend said "elmers glue" does anyone know if that works? i dont have enough $ for pro-activ and those pore strips don't work.
16/f
neutrogena daily blackhead scrub works for me. but make sure to use it religiously. if you live near a beach, sun drys out the oil (so lay out) and grab some sand and exfoliate (which will help get rid of them). so have a beach day! sorry, but i tried pro-activ and it didnt do anything for me, especially for blackheads. and the biore strips are too expensive and came out clean when i used them. i would stick to a daily routine of exfoliation and use the neutrogena stuff.
hope it helps!

Q: We had a dog who would always use its paws to try to move the blankets ( rake ) and he did it for no reason, and kept moving it, he did it everytime we went to bed.
Then he died, and we got a new dog, who is a girl, and she does the same thing.. and I am just wondering why she does that?
my dog does that too, other dogs also. its kind of making a "nest-home" for them. kind of how you smooth out your sheets maybe if you go to bed. my dog also does that if she wants to bury something, she puts the bone down then nudges and paws at the blankets to cover up the bone. its a habit that a lot of dogs have. its covering or uncovering their items. also they do that when they go to the bathroom, sort of "hiding" what they did. lots of weird dog issues. well hope this helped.

Q: Okay so I've been to the tanning salon which was awsome and i got a really cute tan but my mom won't let me go back! And i am now white! Lik a gohst. So if i can't go to the tanning salon than I'm going to go tan outside but how long does it take to get a good tan? And does the wind like affect anything? I rate good!
usually in you just tan for a day you get burned due to constant sun exposure. try like 4 hours every day, but still wearing sunscreen. dont use babyoil and other tan promoting applicants because it makes your skin more prone to skin cancer. also i would reccomend tanning lotion if you dont want to waste time tanning outside. just reapply every 2 weeks.

Q: (f/17)k so lots of people think this is weird, but i am a lesbian and still want to have my OWN children. i am in the most amazing relationship, we are very open and honest and she clearly said she wants kids, but doesnt want to be pregnant, but she thinks it is a beautiful thing to watch(see the belly growing,etc)and we have lots of plans for the future, we even picked a name for a boy, DAMIEN and the thing i have to ask is...
how would i get pregnant without a man?
ive heard about INVITRO-FERTILIZATION..but how does that work??
thanks
invitro is when they take the "egg" out of the woman and insert the sperm into it and then put it back into the woman. i would personally go with another type, articifial insemination (of which i am a product of actually, (mom is a single parent-never married, and the donor is unknown)). i am extremely happy she did it, cus without it i wouldnt be here. sorry this answer is more on the emotional effects of it rather than how it actually works. but all im saying that babies made in any form are a miracle, and without artificial insemination, i wouldnt be here.

Q: I've gone to a public school my whole life. Now 7th grade is ending and im going on to 8th grade. My brother goes to a private school and i want to go there. But I'm afraid of leaving behind my friends. I have a much better chance of getting accepted because my brother goes, but my brother doesn't talk to his old friends much. One of my friends who switches school a lot told me that I should do whats best for me, not for my friends. But I'm not sure whats best for me. I want to go to private school to help me with college, but I dont want to stop being able to see my other friends cause i love them so much.

I'll rate high if you try to help me with my decison
if you want to go, then go! you just wont see your public school friends from 8-3 on weekdays. i have gone to a private school all my life and its great. i understand why you dont want to leave your friends, but you'll make new friends wherever you decide to go. i actually have a friend in the exact same situation, she goes to public school, but next year shes going to a private school with me. its hard cus most of her public friends are going to different schools, but i bet you know some people there with you brother at that school. talk to him about the benefits of it. hope it works out!

Q: Did anybody here have a life-changing tip/situation/movie/book/quote they would like to share? I want to change my life for the better but have no idea where to start!
okay what i TRY to go by is:
"dont sweat the small stuff"
-much easier said than done. if something bothers you thats not big, let it go. basically super hard. you'll be happier and not worry about things.
also i jsut like living by RESPECT and just doing the good small things. if you respect others and are nice, they'll will respect you right back and everyone who knows you will be just as great to you as you are to them. sounds corny but true. also the small things make the big differences. have you ever had a terrible day and some stranger like helps you out or flashes you a great smile?...it just makes everyone happy around you. so notice anything small that you can do for anyone, and your kindness will be repayed. i guess kinda like karma.
someone i know knows someone who also loved this quote which i also love,
"if you're not living on the edge, then your taking up too much room."
^^^^definetly a great quote!

Q: I can't get symbolism in books. Is there anything that can help? In Barnes and Noble there is a section with SAT books and Cliff Notes books and I saw one on Psychology. Do you think that will help?
symbolism kinda has to be figured out by itself. but cliff notes would definetly help you see the main point. i read "THE PEARL" by john steinback-definetly tons of symbolism, and if you wana practice with that-that would definetly help you see the points in it. not that difficult to read but so many things that you wouldnt catch that are symbolic to real life. the story sucks if you dont get the symbolism, otherwise its quite well written.

Q: I have a samsung phone (if that'll help any) and I dropped it in my toilet. It was only in there like a second and I tried drying it with my hairdryer but it just keeps vibrating and says it's charging. Has this ever happened to anyone? Will I need a new phone? What should I do? I'm like freaking out! I'm expecting an important call and I don't have their number and all they have is my cell number!! I'm really freaking out about this. Help Please!!!!
happened to me, most likely you would have a sim card. take that out and all other parts separately and dry them off completely. let them dry off for 1-2 days without putting them back together. you wont be getting your call sorry, but atleast your phone will be saved. it sucks when cell phones break cus everyone relies so heavily on them.
hope your cell gets back to normal soon!

Q: It's bad to take naps but sometimes I just can't focus anymore and just lay down and sleep for 2 hours about and when I wake up I feel so crappy! Thirsty, with a headache, and bad. I don't know if it has to do with not eating breakfast and eating a medium sized salad for lunch and a junk food snack at 3 when I get home from school. Could it be Diabetes? Probably not but I am not sure of anything right now. This happens a lot.
its not bad to take naps, but if your constantly tired you might want to go to a doctor to check your blood for low iron or if your super tired and dont feel good mono. probably not diabetes. i watched a show about naps and if your going to take a short nap, set a timer for 20 mins, cus if you sleep like 45 you feel exhausted after when 20 minutes is supposed to refresh you. but if your completely exhausted and you need a super long nap, make it atleast an hour and a half. eating breakfast is definetly important to keep you being happy and awake because thats the thing that starts your metabolism in the morning, so your metabolism isnt getting started until lunch. junk food doesnt do much for your health even though its tasty, but if it has a lot of sugar and carbs, you may feel kinda "high" and really full of energy then just crash from the carbs and have to take a nap. sorry its long. hope it all helps!

Q: Does anyone know a song that is fast paced, good, and is like inspirational about either miracles or helping others? I need one thats not about love...
its not that fasted paced, but it fits well with everything else: "when you believe" by mariah carey (i know she isnt that great but its a good song.)

Q: I have really bad undereyes.. they are really blue and just gross would would cover them up??

Thanks. i will rate
use maybelline dream matte mousse, best stuff ever. it feels light on your skin and a little goes a long way. it stays on and really hides anything and isnt that expensive. find your shade and itll work great!

Q: How come whenever I run, I get a cramp like on my side.. usually on my right side.. I know they're not menstrual cramps, because they feel way different.. but idk, I've had them for a while, and I think it's a common problem among people.. but does ANYBODY know what they're caused by? And how to prevent them? I also get them when I walk alot sometimes.. but especially when I run on bumpy ground, at softball for example. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Oh websites are great too =] Thanks again! ♥
i get the same. its just your body defense mechanism of making you realize that its hard work for your body. dont stop running it doesnt help, just slowly walk it out or keep jogging slowly. Also what really helps is holding your hands high above your head while your running. another thing that works for me is that wherever i have the cramp, i squeeze that side while im running. for some reason it works!
hope it works out.

Q: How do you turn off an iPod mini? Seriously i thought they would make it really obvious. So what i do is put it on hold and push pause and it eventually turns off i think? Am i wasting battery this way?
i have an ipod mini too-
so just:
pause your current song, then hold pause down to shut it off. then put it on hold so it saves battery. its fine if you dont use hold, but it will lose more battery. also if you dont shut it off and ignore it for awhile, it will shut off by itself-but it wont go to hold since you have to push the button so it will be losing battery. but it will be fine either way.

Q: im not completly happy witb my body but i mean its okay. the only place i have cellulite is my arms and they are the worst thing about me. could i lose a little weight by may 5th.. and how could i make the cellullite go a little bit away
strengthen your muscles, and something cheap and simple for the cellulite would be cocoa butter lotion. rub it on any chance you get. a doctor perscribed my friend to just try that, and sometimes you can put it on then sit in the sun for a bit. its not like a magical cream and make it completely dissapear, but unless you wanna spend big change on the formula stuff in the stores i think its your best solution. i think the formula stuff is just as good, and if its really bothering you go to a dermatologist. just keep a healthy diet and excercise a little more than you normally do and that should take care of the weight. hope it helps!

Q: what are good foods to eat when you're on your period?, cus im not too sure..and i wanted to know.thanks.. ill rate..
eat healthy and drink lots of liquids, ive heard bananas help cramps so eat lots of those! personally, no food has related to the intensity of my cramps. but definetly try bananas-
hope it helps!

Q: Yah this isn't a question but w/e ..

The Uglies series is probably my favortie out of everything i've read, including harry potter. Amazing, right?! haha.

The books are kinda of complicated, You HAVE to start with the first one. I guess I shouldn't tell you about them cause i can't really say anything about it without giving it all away. They are awesome books though. deffinatly read them!

xx_Anneke
haha cool. ive been looking at them for awhile, i just havent read them yet. they'll definetly be on my top to read list. thanks!

Q: Can you be forgiven for being gay? Is it really a sin? What if you just want to try it and see what happens are you going to be penalized for that? Can someone help me asap.. these questions are for a friend who really needs it
just studied all that in a class ive taken. as ive learned from the teachings of the catholic church, being gay isnt a sin in itself, its doing a gay sexual act that is a sin because it takes away from gods creation of marriage and procreation between a man and a wife. it would be like premarital sex because it is not after marriage. you can like the opposite sex, just do no acts. i bet some catholics are to the extreme though that even liking the opposite sex is wrong. in my personal opionion, you cant help who you fall in love with-male or female, so love is love.

Q: okay so i know this isnt a big deal! but okay so like my old best friend and me where extremly close! and now i have new best friend is seriously like my bestestest friend ever! but i feel bad for my old best firend! i mean where still friends but sometimes i wish we where still the best of friends like we used to be! and i dont know what i should do! should i talk to her about it? or just see if things get better?
i would talk to her, and right now im on the other side of your problem and i wish the girl would just talk to me about it cus we barely ever hang out anymore and we've completely drifted off. and next year were going to different highscools and that will completely end it. so i wish it would just end with fun great memories instead of splitting up. just another view from the other side. hope you stay close atleast.
