im Kristin. 20 years old. Criminal justice major/psychology minor at Georgia Southern University - let the good times roll =]. i'm really laid back, love talking to people, and having a good time. i get on here when i'm bored so if you have a question, inbox me!
advice
I really want one, but how much do they cost? Also, I would have to get it at a tattoo place right? How old would you have to be? Thanks!!
i have mine done. mine was $65, but my best friend has hers also and hers was $85. it depends on the place but they usually run about $80, and yes you have to go to a tattoo shop. you have to be 18 to get it done without a parent present, otherwise i think you have to be 16, but i could be wrong, they'll probably pierce anybody as long as you have a parent signature but i'm not sure.
so on thursday i get all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out and im really nervous thats its going to be very painful after i get them out because during it wont hurt because im getting IV sedated. Any tips to make it not hurt so bad besides taking the pain medicine?
i had mine out over the summer and it was the worst 4-5 days of my life honestly,
but my cousin just got hers out and she said it really only hurts early in the mornings and at night when she's trying to sleep.
so the main thing is just be prepared that it's going to hurt. take your medicine most importantly. keep yourself elevated, idk if you have a recliner at your house but you should try to sleep in that for a few nights or stack up pillows on your bed so you're not laying flat, that'll help a lot. also a warm rag or heating pad on & off your cheeks. DO NOT drink through a straw! you'll give yourself dry socket which will hurt way more than the surgery. and other than that just try to rest a lot. rent yourself a lot of movies or something to do for a couple days and just be comfortable. good luck!
Hay! well,i got 200 dollers at victoria's secret, and i'm planning on useing it to buy a cute bathing suit and some other things. But you see, i do not have a loverly bunch of coconuts so to speak.What i'm getting at is- what style bathing suit would be good for a girl who is,ehhh, about a 34B? and would victoria's secret run big?
muchos gracias =]
hahaha, i feel your pain girl!
triangle tops do make you look a little bigger like the other advicenator said,
also horizontal lines [although those can be difficult because they can make you look bigger all over unless you're really thin]
strapless tops also give the illusion of being bigger
OR tops that tie in the FRONT,
because you can control how tight you pull them together haha
good luck!
is it "dependent upon" or "dependent on"?
depend upon; dependent on
ok so,
this is me.

not edited, surprisingly.
i really wanna dye my hair something new.
i haven't dyed it in over a year,
and i'm getting really bored of it.
any suggestions on what would look good?
and if you can, could you edit part of my hair that color
so i can see how it would look.
thanks so much.(:
i agree i think that color looks amazing on your.. you look gorgeous!
i think a dark brown with a red tone would look good.. not exactly auburn.. i dont how to describe it, but a littttle lighter than the color you have with reddish tones.
or keep the color you, and add some caramel highlights. i think just a few chunky ones would look great, rather than little pieces all over.
Hi! so im 16 years old and ive been with my boyfriend for 4 months. ive met his parents multiple times but i guess ive never really been able to have a long conversation with them and gotten to know them. my boyfriend never introduces me as his girlfriend. today i went to one of his siblings shows and a lot of his close family friends and relatives were there. usually when im with him he will hold my hand or put his arm around me but in front of all his relatives, he didnt even introduce me to them and did not act like we were together at all. sorry that this is really long! another thing is that he never calls me. i know he really likes me and hes so sweet to me but we dont talk or hang out as often as we probably should. if we do hang out its ALWAYS at my house, rarely at his. I feel like hes ashamed or embarassed of me but i really cant figure it out at all, and i dont know what to do or say to him.
thanks for your help!
-kristin
haha aw our names are the same =]
anyway, that's kinda strange behavior. but i dont think he's ashamed of you. are you his first [or one of his first] serious relationships? he may just not be used to bringing a girl around his family. if he was ashamed of you, he probably wouldn't invite you there in the first place. he could be afraid his family will purposely pick on him in front of you. my whole family is a bunch of goobers, and that's exactly what they do when my cousins or i or whoever bring a new guy around.. they put them on the spot and embarrass the crap out of us! haha. and there's no number to how many times yall "should" hang out.. you dont wanna hang out too much and get sick of each other! one day when yall plan to hang out, tell him youre bored of your house or your parents are on a cleaning spree or something and ask him if yall could chill at his. start introducing YOURSELF as his girlfriend and be polite. i've been with my boyfriend almost two years, and he still doesn't introduce as his girlfriend.. he doesn't really introduce me at all unless he's asked. it's just a guy thing i think. they're not all charming and stuff as they used to be or as tv and movies portray. ask him if he's uncomfortable bringing you around his family or if he's embarrassed by them. talking is important! good luck girl =]
I recently read about using a bit of baking soda while shampooing, to remove excess product buildup from the scalp. I tried it, and it worked great. But then I read that it might be too harsh for the hair, although really, it seemed just fine for me.
Any thoughts?
I've heard about this also and it does work well, but you should only use once every week or so in order for it to not be too harsh.
Ok im 18 and i have been with my boyfriend for 4 months now.In the begginning things were so great, he was everything i could ever ask for. He told me he loved me, and its not a word he just throws around, and he talked about wanting to get a place with me blah blah, perfectness.Then he got laid off his job and had to move back with his parents. Things have changed drastically, he is always so stressed out and mad. he cant get a job (we live in a small town) and he doesn't care about ANYTGING anymore. i have been so unhappy for like a month now,crying so much. he doesn't say i love you, he said he doesn't want to be in a serious relationship that he's not ready for that again(he was with his ex for 3 years, they broke up like a year ago) that he just wants to take it day by day. and also he possibly wants to move to utah...without me to live with his best friend because ha has nothing going for him out here! I am so scared of losing him, because i truley care about him so much and he does care about me too. i am trying so hard to make this work, and he is putting in no effort! i honestly dont now what to do? i cant just back away from it.Because he does want to be with me. i need advice!
Just_Ask_Me could have a point, but what i think you should do [which wouldn't be quite so drastic] is to just back off a little. he hasn't come right out and SAID he doesn't want to be with you right now or he wants to break up, correct? he sounds like he's just really really stressed out, and given the circumstances that's completely understandable. i just dont think he's handling the stress well so he's freaking out. back off, give him his own time. dont call as much, dont see him as much, etc. if you break up with him, he'll just have the added stress of losing you. tell him that you love him and will be there for him at ANY time that he needs you you're only a phone call away, and then back out of his life and let him get sorted out. i know you're upset, that's natural, but you being unhappy is adding to his unhappiness as well, even if he doesn't say it. dont kill yourself trying. he told you he's taking things day by day, so you do the same. good luck!
This question may sound stupid, but I'm really confused. How do anorexic atletes lose the bulkyness of their leg/arm muscle? I know the body eats away at fat when its starved, but how does the muscle break down? Thanks.
also you have to eat certain things in order for your muscles to develop [proteins etc.] if someone who's anorexic isn't eating, let alone eating the proper nutrients, the muscle won't develop and eventually seem to break down.
is there a certain way to clean a bellybutton after you got it pierced? i usually just take some dial some and a q-tip and clean it that way then put neosporin on it..i do this 2-3 times a day...oh and when can i stop having to clean it so much?
the piercer should have told you or given you an instruction sheet. if they didn't, that was REALLY bad on their part.
- number 1 do NOT use neosporin on it!
- also they told me to just use unscented dial liquid soap around it in the shower.
- dont pick at the crusty things that form. that's part of the healing process, and it's just like picking a scab - it'll keep coming back. but cleaning around it should help that a lot.
- you can get this stuff called H2Ocean. it's a sea salt spray that helps it heal. it's like $10-12 a bottle but it works really well. you can get it at a piercing parlor, hot topic, or online. spray it on there 2-3 times a day.
so the phrase "thats cool" is overrated.
so instead i now say "thats chill"
but now, a bunch of people in my school are saying it.
i need a new phrase!
like, "thats ________" (beast,bomb,etc.)
please and thank youuu.
my best friend's phrase is "that's pretty sexy"
she uses that for everything, ha.
So I've heard this song on the radio a few times. And I cant figure out what it's called.
All I remember of it..is that it's fast..and kinda a pop/dance song..and the girl in it say's " Cause we belong together now."
thank's for your help!
Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You.
if you're giving a guy a handjob in a hot tub and they cum can you get pregnant?
highly unlikely.
They sell condoms on like a regular isle in Target right? Can anyone just walk in and buy them?
yes & yes.
they can't not sell them to you just because you look young or anything like that, it is illegal and you are allowed to buy them. or you can go to a local planned parenthood and they can give you some for free if you ask.
I got jazzing hair dye from sally two days ago. My hair is dark brown and i got black cherry. My friend Adrianna had the pink one in her hair, and she said not to add to the top but put chunks and bits of it under your hair. Where do I apply it?
you can apply it anywhere you want it to show up... streaks, chunks, the tips, whatever you prefer. but you should know that if you have dark hair, you'll need to first bleach the areas you want to dye, or it wont show up. and also, i hate to say that stuff doesn't work well. i bought some in red wine and put a strand of it in my hair, and i put it under heat for 45 minutes [which is supposed to make it permanent] and it showed up really well, but the first time i washed my hair it took A LOT, almost most of the color out, and it was barely even pink after that, and it didn't look good anymore. so it wasn't even semi permanent, let alone permanent, but i guess it's good if you just wanna put it in and wash it out. next time i would suggest Manic Panic, it works a lot better.
hey i was hoping maybe you could help me understand this guy and why he did this to me..
well there is this guy who is a year younger than me who is friends with my friends brother and i met him at her house back in december. weve been talking here and there on facebook and i saw him again at their house in january. after i saw him there we would talk and he told me how he really wants me badly and how he wanted to do all of these sexual things with me [i think he was just going to use me] also something else that is weird is that he likes this girl who lives an hour away who he only sees once a year and im pretty sure they are going out. but anyways i didnt think he cared if he had a gf so far away and talked to me like that too. one night we were talking and he pressured me into sending a picture, he said hed be mad if i didnt.. but it wasnt a bad one i had clothes on..but after i sent them i looked at his fb wall and that girl had wrote, I LOVE YOU TOO!!!! so i think they are going out. and it bugged me because he was talking to me like that WHILE he was saying "i love you" to that other girl? i dont understand. but anyways, about two weeks ago I IMed him because he hadnt IMed me since i sent those pics and i was confused. and basically our whole conversation was him begging me to give him a bj. i kept on saying no i dont think so sorry but he kept asking and making me feel bad..at the end of the conversation he just said i want a deep throat from u sexy ;] and then he said for me to text him. so i did. but his phone was off and he didnt get it until two days later but then never responded..
so JUST NOW i decided to IM him..only because we havent talked in two weeks and i dont understand why..i thought maybe its because he hadnt seen i was online at the same time or something. so i IM him and all i get from him is, hi
which is weird because i usually always get a hey. and HE usually IMs me first.
then i go, whatsup
and he just never answered. what the hell did i do. i mean i know that he has friends that go to my school and i feel like MAYBE his friends said something about me to him or something? i dont think so..i think im just paranoid. but i mean he didnt treat me nice at all or anything but i just dont see why he doesnt want me anymore, why so sudden. what did i do to make him not wanna talk to me anymore, i mean, two weeks ago he was like drooling over me and now its like he wants nothing to do with me. im so confused and i feel so bad about myself and ugly. please tell me what it was that i did. im really so confused?! like..he always told me how badly he wanted me, he really wanted to do stuff with me, but not all of the sudden im just nothing. he doesnt even want to talk to me. i really dont know what i did wrong..maybe he thinks im ugly now or something because maybe his friends from my school told him im ugly. but im not ugly. he told me im really hot. like all the time. so ..i dont get this. at all. i just feel stupid for IMing him now.
wow, this guy sounds really immature. you never said how old yall are, but he sounds like he's about 14/15? stop talking to him. ALL he wanted was to use you. did he ever once say anything along the lines of you're cool, he likes to hang out with you, he likes to talk to you? no, it was all you're hot, i want a deep throat, etc etc. he just wanted you to be his little play toy. and when he kept asking and you said no, he lost interest quick because he couldn't get what he wanted, even when he threw in a compliment here and there. he stopped IMing/texting you because he wasn't INTERESTED in YOU, he was just interested in you blowing him and making him horny from pictures. you did the right thing by saying no and NOT giving him what he wanted, so dont feel bad at allll because he's totally in the wrong here, not you. whether or not he is dating that other girl, well it's possible, which is even more the reason for him to not be asking you for things. seriously, stop talking to him. he's really low.

it's Deana Carter for sure.
I am so worried that this girl that hated me and made fun of me. Is making people avoid me. So that is basically the story. What do I do to stop it. I am a loner though. The girl that hates me is more popular but I don't get why she would pull a thing like that.
She either is a) jealous of you b) insecure with her own self and tries to hide it c) has no life and has to do something to entertain herself or d) all of the above. all you can do is ignore it. dont let it bother you and she'll get bored. if she can tell it bothers you, it's like feeding the fire. also, talk to people! get to know them. they're get to know you and realize that what she says about you is wrong, and then she'll just look stupid. trust me, this wont last forever. she'll either get bored of doing it and move on to someone else or people will just get bored of listening to her.
My brother is about to go to college. Im scared. I know he's a good kid, but he has made some really stupid mistakes in his life. And in college, im afraid that he will make a retarded move and end up arrested or even dead. He will ovbliously drink (who doesnt in college) but we are a Christian family who doesnt approve of sex before marriage. I dont want him to give himslef away. And if i talk to him about my concers, he just gets upset. He say that he wont do any of that. That he is just joking about doing girls and stuff. How can I ease my anxiety and be sure that hes safe?
Female, 14.
I can understand your concern, but your brother is a big boy now, and college will be the time of his life! That doesn't mean he will party his nights away, but he'll really grow into himself. It's true that most people drink in college, but if he's a good kid and was raised in a Christian family like you say, he should know his limit and probably wont go too over the top. EVERYBODY makes mistakes in life, it's just human nature. Yeah he will probably make several mistakes in college, but does that make him any less important to you? He would probably be there for you when you make mistakes, no one is perfect and you have to understand that. If assures you he wont do anything, believe him. On the other hand, he is a teenage guy starting his life. He will make his own choices, mistakes included, and branch out from the family. You just need to be there for him and support him. Remind him of your concerns, talk to him about it, and wish him the best. There's not much else you can do. Good luck!
As of late, my parents, friends and counselors at school have been talking A LOT about colleges and it's starting to freak me out.
I'm a 16 year old junior in high school, so it's REALLY time I start picking out where I want to go. I'm pretty much set on what I want to do as far as a career goes, but I don't know which college I want to go to, which is pretty bad seeing as that will determine my career path?!
So, like I said: I don't know where to start! I know I want to stay in state or go to a neighboring state, but how should I go about researching, choosing, and whatnot?
Thanks :)
i agree, talk to your counselors. they can really help.
also, www.collegeboard.com is amazing. you can search any college out there and it tells you everything: cost, admission requirements, majors, describes housing & campus life, student life, test scores, etc. it definitely helped me narrow down where i want to go. it has tons of info that im sure can help you too. good luck! =]
