I'm burningXstar (feel free to shorten that to any name you like!) i'm a student living in the UK, and as well as having a very mixed up life, I do enjoy trying to help others with their problems and woes in return for everyone elses much appreciated advice =)I try to help people as best as I can, most of my advice is through personal experience, and experiences I have learnt through people around me. I consider myself to be a good listener, and tend to pick up on lots of little details, so hopefully this will also help me to answer any questions! I also study biology so if relevant I will use scientific data to back up any questions. However there are always going to be some things I honestly know nothing about! I will not give half hearted answers to these questions! Therefore I will only answer questions I can put all my knowledge and effort into.
My realm of topics still varies, hence why I haven't listed any "main catagories". But if you have any questions feel free to ask me for any advice and I promise I will reply! =)
advice
so, ive been having this problem lately .... ive been smelling of body odor. i wear deoderant every day. before sports, before school, before gym, anytime i need it i use it. and ive tried 2 different kinds of deoderant. whats going on?! what can i do?! whats wrong with me?!
Hey, don't worry this is not an uncommon problem. Firstly just make sure you shower every day, twice if need be. Secondly, deodorants from supermarkets are not particularly strong so firstly I would reccommend trying a stronger one from a health store (ask if you're not sure), if that doesn't work you can get a stronger one from your doctor which will definately work - but you need a prescription as they are not sold over the counter.
Hope this helps!
what vitamins do you eat daily? any supplements
I take:
Cod Liver Oil with mulitivitamins A, B, C, D and E. - Good for joints and essential vitamins all in one.
I also take Evening primrose oil and zinc suppliments as they are good for the skin and zinc prevents acne/spot scaring.

For whatever reason, when I am home(after school, weekends, and breaks) all i want to do is eat! After I figured this out, I changed my snacking habits from unhealthy snacks to healthy snacks. Some of my favorite snacks are fruits and vegetables with peanut butter, dairy products, and nuts. But it didn't help! Now, i crave unhealthy snacks more than ever. I don't know what to do! We don't really keep unhealthy foods around the house, just for my little brother, but I want to eat them. I can't figure it out. Maybe if I could get to the root of the problem, it would help me conquer it.
I have exactly the same problem, do you think its perhaps because you are "bored" and have nothing to do per se and your mind just wanders towards to kitchen... Best thing to do is keep your self occupied, find things to do and if you find yourself thinking of food before meal times have a glass of water instead, I find this can help... Limit yourself and be strict, keep busy! I think thats the best way to conquer it!
Hope this helps a little.
difference between college and high school?
University is a very independant learning experience. You will find you have to do alot of work yourself, reading, note taking, exam prep, ect, its all on you. In School you get alot more help from the teachers, and classes are taught in a very different way - at University its mainly lectures - no real interaction between yourself and the "teachers" unless you make it so. Also if you live away from home you have real life experiences to deal with too outside of education. It's a pretty big step!
y friend also said that jumproping isn't great for the brain since you're constantly moving
and your brain is bobbing along with it...
IS THAT TRUE?
Um no, your brain is suspended in fluid and is pretty good at coping with constant movement... The brain however gets upset when you bang it very hard as it bruise against the side of your skull. So as long as you don't bash your head you should be okay... How much time you spend jump roping would also factor into the equation, I can't imagine it would be altogether too healthy to be doing it ALOT, but one-off or occasionally I wouldn't worry about your brain lol.
what does the iron cross represent? and is it considered offensive, as it was used by the nazi's at one point? thanks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross
Ok so you know on Google when you type in one letter a bunch of words you already used that start with that letter pop up. Well I want to know if there is anyway to get ride of those words? So if anyone knows that would be great!
lol, been looking at things you shouldn't have ;]
Depends on what broser you are using, I use Firefox and basically you go to tools, options, privacy settings, and untick the box that says remember what I enter in forms and search bars... In IE, its abit more complicated, you want to delete search history and cookies, play around with the settings. Firefox is pretty good with privacy settings :)(For future reference)
Hope that helps!
what is that game, where you have to trap the balls? like you click on the board or space or whatever it is, and it draws a line, and the space gets smaller and you have to keep drawing the lines (without the balls touching the lines while they are being drawn) to get the ball in a contained space. what's the name of that game?
Jezzball :)
my best friend is middle eastren and she is muslim. she is really really cool and so open minded. she's nothing like how muslims are portrayed in the media. she goes out has fun but still respects her tradition and stuff and i respect that. recently she's been worried like crazy though. when i asked her she actually confided in me and told me whats the matter... i didn't know what to tell her so i was hoping you guys can help its very serious:
she fell in love with this muslim guy and they love each other soooo much and are planning to get married soon. in islam a girl has to be a virgin to get married and the "only solid proof" of that is if her hymen is still intact. she'as never had sex before so she IS a virgin. that we both know. however, she does masturbate... and she told me she looked it up and it is allowed in islam for her to do so if it meant not having sex before marriage. so far so good. the only problem is that she broke her hymen masturbating and culture/traditional wise no religion wise she will get in so much trouble for that. if she gets married and she doesn't bleed on her first night retributions will be bad (and i mean beyond european and north american bad... i ddnt even want to ask her about them)
now ignore all that. that was just background. my question is there anyway she can repair her hymen? or fake bleeding or something? can a gyno in the states or canada do it for her (she is there to finish college) is there anyyyyway possible to get her out of accusations she is inocent of?
please help she is really panicking... and she cant talk to her parents about it even if she showed them proof that religion does permit it.....it's her country's tradition.....
Okay, here are the facts about hymens:
Some girls are actually born without a hymen, and those that are born with a hymen - it is usually broken by physical activity other then sex, such as gymnastics, horse riding, etc. it is actually quite rare for a girls hymen to be fully intact when she has her first sexual intercourse. As well as this it is possible to have sex for the first time and not bleed. All girls are different, and it is difficult to use science against any type of religion I know but it is fact! Any doctor or proffessional would say the same - and it would be obsurd to say masturbation is permitted if torn hymens were not.
You need to pass this information onto your friend - if you look at any website on hymens it will tell you the same information - most hymens are very VERY thin membranes that tear early in childhood, there is no true way to tell if any girl is a virgin, unless she has a thick hymen (which is rare) and if she is a virgin - her word should be proof enough.
I hope in the future religions will update themselves with scientific fact - as it is a great shame your friend has to suffer this anxiety when she has done nothing wrong!
Good luck & I wish your friend all the best in her marriage!

In episode 14 (Broadcast Order) of the japanese anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" there is a part where Haruhi and Kyon are in Closed Space. The monsters appear, and music is in the background. Does anyone know what that song is? Is it made for the show, or adapted for it?
Hello :)
I don't have the exact answer, but have a look at this - it might help...

Okay today during my martial arts class my boyfriend (18/m) got kicked below the belt where it hurts... and since then he's been in quite abit of pain, less then an hour after he urinated some blood... 4 hours after the incident he has aching in his testicles and is still leaking some blood. Should he go to the doctors in the morning? I'm really worried about him but I don't know how serious it is as I haven't seen him since it happened... I won't be able to talk to him until the morning now but what should I do?
This is serious, you need to get to a doctor straight away in the morning to get it checked over! Any bleeding internerally is never a good sign, it may be a just a bump inside but you should always get this checked out as soon as possible! x x
if you're in a relationship with a guy, how can you tell that he's serious about it? like what signs wuld you see if he's really into you?
These are some general signs...
He only has eyes for you, and almost if never talks about any others girls.
He'll break off his own plans to come and see you if he hears you're upset.
He'll talk about things he wants to do with you together in the future (going on holiday together, living together, going to the same university, sometimes even getting married!)
He kisses you really gently and stares into your eyes for ages - without going for your breasts!
Sexually - he won't make you do anything you're not ready or don't feel like doing.
He protects you from other people - bad comments, threats, other guys hitting on you etc.
When there's a problem in the relationship, if you sit him down and talk to him about it, he will honestly try harder to change things for the better.
:) Hope this helps x x
thank you, you gave really great advice. i was just wondering..you mentioned telling him before. do you thikn thats a good idea? i feel comfortable enough to tell him, yet what if he didn't even notice? i mean its very noticable but theres a chance he wouldnt if i didnt say anything right?
Hey again :)
In my opinion I would tell him if you think it is noticable & something you are uncomfortable with/worried about, but when I say tell him I don't mean like just randomly blurting it out or anything... There are times when me and my bf have been discussing things we don't like about ourselves... for example in conversation you could pick a part of your boyfriend you really like and tell him... then ask him if there are any parts of him he doesn't like, and *fingers crossed* he will ask you the same question and you can explain how you feel uncomfortable about your breasts. If he really cares about you I'm sure he won't mind! & this way it blends into conversation and you can find out your bf's weak points too! But you have to feel like you can trust him enough to tell him - and by the sound of it you sound like you can :)
I hope this helps you out! Best of luck, if you have any more questions don't hestiate to contact me :) x x
14/f
i run daily, well I jogged on the tredmil for about 15 minutes then i jogged a mile at the track for a week or so. I ran everyday for maybe a month? then i havent ran in a while. now ive got track and i run there and the past few days ive ran outside maybe a little less than a mile? i want to be able to run daily but i dont want my body to only burn caloires when i run.. what are the bad things about jogging?
It can effect your joints, mainly your knees, and make you susecptible to arthritis and other bone softening disorders later in life. If you feel pain in any of your joints after excersise, start taking cod liver oil capsules - I know they are gross but you will thank yourself later when your joints are still well and working :)
Hope this helped x x

is it weird to shave my stomach and hands? becuase i have like a noticable amount of hair on my stomach and my hands, and i hate it.
thanks!
You should try not to shave these areas if you can, as the hairs will normally grow back coarser, darker and more noticable. You can try buying a bleach from your pharmacy to help make the hairs less noticable - this is probably your best option! But I also have a lotion which is a hair thinner, which when I use helps to both bleach and thin hairs - two in one action! If you can get hold of this it would be a good option to try - look around your pharmacy.
Hope this helped. x x
you know the fat between boobs and armpits? how do you get rid of that? i am f/17 and want it off of me!!!!!
I can sympathise I have the same problem! I would suggest aerobic workouts, or if that's not your cup of tea you could try chest presses ( a machine you'll find in the gym where you push a bar away from your chest), or press ups, or you could even try raising both your arms and making little circles with your arms (this really starts to burn after a few minutes!)
Hope this helps! x x
i am extremely slender and always have been, im also tall at 5'8". however i all of a sudden have a lower tummy pooch and want to get rid of it fast. i havent been eating any candy or snacking more than usual. what can i do to get it off asap? i dont have much time, so quick and easy exercises and i cant cut out any more food really. why is this happening?
As you grow older many people do tend to put on weight, especially in your early teens, and your late teens, despite maintaining a good balanced diet. The images of extremely slender models in magazines are the result of selective picking and anoerexics. Don't fall into the trap of believing you have to be like these people - it is unnatural, and they will pay in later life with bone diseases and other major problems.
Also fat around the stomach can happen with water retention just before a period, you can always expect to feel a little bloated before you're due on.
Do not feel like you need to cut food out of your diet, cutting food should only ever be an option if you are overeating or overweight. If you eat healthy you can always suppliment food, taking the better option rather then snacking etc.
Also its important to do regular excersise, if you're still worried about your stomach sit ups and rockers (same position as a sit up but leaning slighty forwards and "rocking" with a tense stomach) can help. However these for ome people can be tedious so I would advise you to find a sport or gym you likee and try to stick with that :)

soo, im 17/f and started growing boobs in basically 5th or 6th grade, so its not like i just started. but they are SO uneven. and they ALWAYS have been. my mom says that they will eventually even out, but i've had them for over six years and they are still uneven, although bigger. my left is a B and my right is an A. i dont mind it that badly, except i have a bf and we just progressed to the whole "feeling up" stage. so far hes only felt the left, and i dont want him to realize that they are two different sizes. what should i do and are there any ways to make the other one grow? anything at all?
Hey, unfortunatly there may be a chance that you may stay that way now. But many women develop very uneven chest sizes much more so then one size, so in a sense you are lucky! One option may be to consider going on the pill, as it is known to increase bust size, however both breasts may grow together and they may still not even out completely.
As for your boyfriend, if you do not feel comfortable telling your boyfriend about your chest beforehand maybe it might be a good idea to build nmore on your relationship in terms of trust and respect for each other before you progress any further physically, to make sure you both value and love each other enough to accept each others bodies the way they are :)
Hope I helped. x x
Im 5'1 and i weigh 108. im really skinny and known as skinny. but i see fat on my stomich. i do pushups and situps everynight but i need this fat off my stomich! i eat really bad also. i eat wtvr i want wenever! i no this is bad! wat kind of diet should i go on? i dont wanna become anerxic but i wanna loose this fat! any fitness/exercise ideas?
Take a look at this:
http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
You are in the normal range on the BMI calculator, you do not actually *need* to lose any weight. I know how you feel because I have fat in certain areas I really would like to get rid of, but I do a healthy amount of excercise (don't eat so great but try) and I am in the normal range. You should consider yourself lucky that you can eat what you want and not have to suffer the consequences like others! But if you want to try and keep up a healthier lifestyle, try sticking to eating 3 main meals a day, and no snacks (or healthy snacks like fruit, carrot sticks etc) inbetween. Also the reccomended excersise is 30 mins a day, but you can supplement this - one hour every two days etc. Find a sport you enjoy and can get a good run around from and keep at it :)
Hope this helps x x
