about

I am an inspired 16 year old who is looking for a career in giving advice. I have been around the block a few times and I am an expert on a wide variety of personal topics. I'm unique, outgoing and I love art and music. I also enjoy playing my guitar.

advice

does anybody on here know any good things to do when youre doing the ouija board??! we want it too work really good and were making it charge for glowing in the dark n stuff now so does anyone have expierience that woroked really good and you did something special?? lol thanks much

Oh lordie, the infamous ouija board. My friend liz and i, back when we were kids, used the thing all the time...and when i finnaly got my own for christmas, I had to return it because too many wierd and unexplainable things had happened.

I don't know if i believe it or not, but I think that if you were to, with your parents permission, light some candles and some insence, it would bring out that whole "sanse" or whatever..haha.. effect.


have fun =)

Oh gosh, people can be so cruel. No one knows why others have to treat fellow peers so horribly, but there are some precautions you can take to make sure that it doesn't happen...for the most part...

You need to ignore this taunting. If you show them that they are getting to you...they're going to love pushing your buttons. When called a name, just walk away. You will feel better knowing that you were stronger then these immature bitches.

This is around the time when you will begin to mature and realize who your true friends are, and learn that you are the only person who can make judgments on yourself.


Hope i helped you

well i want to put conditioner on my hair and then sleep with it on... sounds crazy i no but i think it would help. i mean my hairs not really dried out of anything but it could prob use the shine and moisture. what do u think?
lol thanx

Instead, purchace a leave in conditioner from a local salon or drug store. It works just as good as regular conditioner...If you were to leave conditoner in your hair overnight, it would dry and become extremley greasy feeling, like when you don't wash your hair for a few days...but..you could always give it a try!

Hope i helped=)

OK i guess ive had a couple pimples or watever on my chin n now tha skin on my upper chin kinda under my lip is red n inflamed in a way. does anyone kno how to get rid of this?! thankz!

Whatever you do, do not touch it. Touching it will make it even more red and irritated. Use somthing for acne, like overnight spot treatment, just a little, and put it on the area to clear the pimples, then keep it moisterized so your skin doesn't become dry and irritated. Use a tiny bit of cover-up to mute the redness, and no one will ever notice!

hope i helpedcha

I saw you answering an eye liner question and I was wondering how much is the amazing 8 hour wear thing by almay? Thanks! I'll rate

It prices from around 5 dollars to 7...

It really works great though, I believe it's worth the money!


Try wal mart or target for best results.

Hope i helped you!

ok @ school like everybody wheres makeup and stuff and i want to too. not just because everybody is wearing it but because i feel ugly. but i dont know anythin about it!!! so can you tell me whats the best kind of like foundation or powder?! what is pressed powder?! and dosent makeup wash off in the rain?! thank you so much and i rate really good if that matters to you! thanks.

Aww, I'm sure your beautiful without any makeup...but if you really want to improve your look try starting out with nude (light) colors. Go with your mom or guardian to the drug store and pick out a color that's right for you, and purchace one that is close to your skin color...you don't want to look like your wearing a mask! Then, if you want, pick out a light pink or brown eyeshaddow and liner. A little goes a long way....

To answer your questions...

Pressed powder is also known as a "compact'. It's a light tinted powder compressed in a flip-open case for the most part, and it usualy includes a mirror

Makeup rarely washes off in the rain, unless your wearing a non-waterproof mascara and its raining pretty hard.

and I think foundation is better then powder...just a little bit on red areas. Powder often makes your face look cakey and tends to dry up the skin.

Hope I helped, and good luck

wait im confused about birth control. someone said that it regulates your period so you know when it's coming. but how does that protect you from not getting pregnant? when you're on birth control, does that mean that you WON'T get pregnant if you have unprotected sex at any time? thanks.

It doesn't mean that you are 100% protected from getting pregnant, but it does decrease the chance. It's 98% effective, so I would recommened using a condom also....un-protected sex with or without birth control is very risky and dangerous...my cousin concieved when she was on the pill.

I hope i helped you, and stay safe love

OK here's the deal. I smoke cigarettes .. yes I know all the bad stuff about it already and I know I shouldn't do it, blah blah blah. My best friend doesn't know tho. Shes my best friend in the entire world and I hate keeping this from her. A couple of people who she doesnt like know I smoke. She doesnt even know i talk to them. I hate keeping it from her. I dont want to quit. She thinks smoking is really stupid. How can I tell her about it ?

I know this familiar, aquard feeling you probably have about "whipping one out" right in front of her. It's probably going to make her feel uncomfortable, and possibly even degrated. The best thing you can do is, when you sense an appropriate time, ask her nicely if you could smoke a cigarette, and see how she reacts. she will probably give you a pointless lecture on how they're stupid and horrible and yadda yadda...but you know all the facts and all the harm, therefore, it's strictly your choice. Try explaining that to her, and if she still doesn't understand, just avoid the situation. Most likely, though, the whole issue won't interfere with your overall friendship.

Ok i just went to a hair dresser like an hour ago and got my hair highlighted. I wanted think dark blonde chunks and she ends up giving me these really super bright light blonde streaks. I hate it and i did it even tho my mom said not to...i didnt think the lady would mess it up. Well i came home and washed it like 3 times and its not lightening up. Someone plz help me, i dont know what to do, ill rate a 5. I cant dye it again, my moms not gonna let me.

This happened to me about a year ago, and It really just takes a little while to get used to. At first you might not like it, but once you become adjusted to the hair color, you might change your opinion. I'm sure your beautiful either way.

Hope i helped

This is kind of long, but I'd like advice. I have a friend, and we've been buds since first grade. Ever since we met, we fight about the dumbest things! Like, I became best best friends with someone, and hung out with that girl a lot. I hung out with my other friend a lot too. She always emailed me saying, "You blow me off!" It gets me soo mad! Then like a day later she totally acts all sweet and like my best friend. Then a month later she pulls that crap again! We fight a lot, and she always starts it and acts like I did. She's always been like this, and if I talk to her, she'll totally bring up little mistakes I've made and act all rude again! What should I do??????

i have a friend exactly like that...and what's worst is that you cannot approach them about it because everything needs to be a huge ordeal. We fight constantly like sisters, about the most pointless, insignifigant things. The thing i've learned throught the years is to just ignore her, no matter how much she bitches. Bringing attention to the situation shows her that she knows how to push your buttons, and chances are that she's going to try to do that as often as possible, then turn around and act like nothing ever happened. Oh gosh I know exactly how you feel haha. Try taking a break from her, also, it will allow you to determine the things you really like about your friend.

I hope I helped some, and leave me one if you need any additional advice

alright well whenever i get upset i feel the need to cause myself pain. sometimes i do and sometimes i just cry. and i used to cut but i dont anymore and im never going to again so that will not be a way of hurting myself...but i want to know if there's anyway to control these feelings. i really dont want to end up hurting myself badly. but i get upset do easily...i dont know im just so confused.

This is such a common feeling, and I for one have and still do occationally feel the need to inflict pain on myself, especially when I cause pain to other people. I keep all my feelings inside, and then finnaly they all just catch up, and I feel like I'm going to explode. A good and mature way of handling a situation like yours is to write down everything your feeling, anything that has happened, anything that you don't want to say to anyone outloud. Find a good hiding spot for your thoughts and jot down occationally how you feel. I am extremley emotional, and I will break down because of very little things, but it's because of all these pent up feelings. If you find a way to vent, besides hurting yourself...(even if you burn what you write after) in a safe place of course, you will feel as if a weight is lifted off your shoulders. Another thing you could consider would be consulting your parents about a psycologist or social worker that you could communicate with. Everything is totaly personal, and they have no right by law to repeat anything you say unless you or another are in danger.

I really hope i helped, because I know many people, including me, that have the same problem you do. Please let me know how it goes, and good luck.

ok about 3 months ago i begged my parents to let me get a hamster...they sed ya...so i got one and ive tooken really good care of it..no problems...well i hav a big enuf cage and i decided i want to get a female hamster n let them mate so i can make them have babies...my mom sed i hav to look into it to make sure its ok n stuff bc she thinks its nasty (she hates rodents) does ne 1 kno ne websites about breeding? also...how do ilet them mate..like will they attack eachother if i buy a female?/..i gues the websites will explain but idk ne websites...ne 1 kno any websites? or has ne 1 did this?

Oh god, don't do this, please take my word for it,they become extremley smellayyy and VERY hard to manage. They may be cute and everything, but one is surley enough. If you really, really want to breed them, go to a local pet store and ask for information from a professional, like petco or somthing. Haha, good luck babe.

I cut but i wanna stop cause its gotten so bad i cant even hold crap any more ... any advice on how

I (really hate admiting this) but I used to do the same thing. It's a pain you can control, and it becomes extremley addicting. The first step is admiting the problem and telling someone. I know its hard, but once you do, you will feel so much better about how to solve it. I un-fortunetly had a horrible psycologist who didn't help at all, but maybe your parents or doctor can send you to someone who you can be compatible with. It's a struggle, but with help, you can become a new person, physically and mentaly.

good luck, and I hope i helped you.

I'm moving pretty soon, and I really want to have a "theme" for my new room. I get whatever I want, and I don't know what would look good, my interests:

1. Anime and manga (Japanese stuff) That's my favorite, I really want a Japanese style room.

2. Nature.

3. Dark stuff, i.e. kind of punkish.

4. American Eagle, and Aeropostale. I know you can't really make that into a theme, but y'know.

5. California! =D

Thanks?

I recently moved my room to a bigger one downstairs, and my advice to you is to paint it a light color, or if your personality is more bright, paint it a more vibrant color, and purchace matching lights, bookshelves, or whatever you come to like. Then afterwards, put up a few shelves, make it "you". Paint things on the wall and buy cool bed sheets. Put up posters, express yourself. You can mix all your favorite things together with a little creativity!

I'm fifteen, female.

I get whistled at, hooted at from trucks, minorly harassed A LOT. It's harmless, and a little of it I have no problem with, but it gets annoying.

It's reeeeeeeally hot most of the time (I'm writing from Mexico, and I usually live in Southern California), so just covering up isn't an option, and it doesn't seem to help. I tried it one day when it was cool outside and got just as much unwanted attention as usual.

I've tried being a bit aggressive, but I don't know these people and most of the time they just laugh. Also, it doesn't stop it from happening the next time, which is all I really care about.

So, how can I stop guys from doing this? Is there anything I can wear that's nice and cool but utterly unflattering?

Oh gosh, I know exactly how you feel, at first it's flattering, you know all the beeping and the yelling and everything, but then it gets to a point where you feel like you can't walk out your door without being harassed. The best thing you can do is ignore it, because no matter what you wear, they will still honk and holler. haha, true story, one time me and my friends had JUST rolled out of bed, messy hair, no make-up, pajamas, and we were walking my friend home. A van full of guys pulls up and starts hitting on us, asking for numbers and screen names and such. I couldn't believe it, especially because of how discusting and horrible we looked. Hahahah, the point is, just stay cool and keep walking. If anyone harasses you to the point where you feel your life is threatened, use a near-by phone or cellular to call someone who can help you.

I hope i helped =)

hey i am like a punk kid. and i really dont like preps very much. but my mom is like anti-punk and loves preps. and she is really into the "preppy" clothes and attitude and all that good stuff. lol. ok well thats NOT me but how do i tell her without her freaking out. i mean i want to get my tongue pierced and my ears pierced a lot. but my mom is just not understanding for my personality. people tell me "Be yourself who cares what others think" but how can you be yourself when your mother is making you another. how do i try to show my mom that i am not like her?

I know you have probably recieved many many resposes to this question, but I hope this really helps you out much. I had the exact propblem about 2 years ago with my mom, when I recieved a large pile of abercrombie and fitch clothes for christmas from my mother. I had started liking vintage clothing, and was obviously not digging the "preppy look" anymore. I nicely gave the clothes back to her and asked if we could exchage them for some others. She flippeddd out and started giving me this whole sob story of how she didn't want me to become some gothic "freak of nature". Haha, and thats putting it lightly. But anyways, I grew in to the person i wanted to be, I didn't make the change overnight. That also makes people think you are trying to be someone your not, and I'm sure you have the best intentions to be whoever the hell you want to, and no one should stand in your way. Also, no one should be judged by the clothing they wear, and anyone who does just shows how iggnorant some people are. As you get older, you mature, and realize who you truly are, and your parents learn to accept you as well.

I hope i helped

Hey I had asked:
I think I like one of my closest friends and I think she just might like me back. But it's tough because I don't really want to say anything me being a girl myself... Should I tell her how I feel and risk our friendship or just ignore it?
And really liked your advice on it so I'm going to ask you another question :). First I told her and she happened to like me back...she's an online friend and a year older than I am. Hmm it's kind of an uncomfortable situation right now. How do you think I could make it...more comfortable?

*Lulls

Ooh i feel so honored haha=)

wellllll...lets see, does she live close enough for you to maintain a realitonship? If not, you might want to re-think what your getting yourself in to before you become too attached. Try getting to know her favorite things, personal situations, etc. before proceeding any farther. Try cracking a few jokes to brake the aquwardness, and just be the great self you are. Make sure that you are positive with the decision you are making.

Let me know how things go!

Props to you for asking such a personal and mature question.
I think you should have a discussion with you friend and find out the 411 about her latest crush, and then hint on that you might have feelings for a girl and see how she reacts. If she is a true blue, she will accept the fact that you might be bi-sexual...or maybe even a lesbian. The truth is that many girls, and guys, have a hard time determining their sexuality, and need time to sort out their sexual prefrence. Give it some thought, and if you feel that you are ready to share your feelings, give it a shot. Chances are things won't change between you, and if they do, she wasn't your close friend to begin with.

Let me know what happens babe and good luck
