is there any way to whiten your teeth without buying strips or whitening gel? (link)
|
you can use a certian type of toothpaste. Its called crest Vivid White. here is a website that talks about it:
http://www.crest.com/vivid/index.jsp
also you should make sure to floss and brush twice a day at least.
also, there are types of gum that can help whiten your teeth. trident and orbit have a lot of selections. it will say on the package if it helps whiten.
hope that helped!

hey!
the group is called The Veronicas. the song that they sang was called Cry.
here are the lyrics:
All my life you've had an opinion
Doing things for the wrong reasons
Well not today
Don't you know I think for myself
I get on fine without anybodies help
Don't care what you say
I'm breakin your heart(but I'm breakin apart)
All you do is hold me down(hold me down)
Try to make me someone i don't know
I'm not the girl you'd thought you found
What would you do if I told you
You can't control my life
And what would you say
If I left today with no regrets and no goodbye
What would you do if I told you
There is no more you and I
What would you say if I walked away and left you there to cry
I don't know what's coming over you
Or how we fell apart
I tried so hard but I don't believe in you
You're not the guy I thought I knew
What would you do if I told you
You can't control my life
And what would you say
If I left today with no regrets and no goodbye
What would you do if I told you
There is no more you and I
What would you say if I walked away and left you there to cry
What would you say if I said to you just go ahead and cry!
hope that helped!!!

Sometimes, I predict things without knowing I predict them. For example, when i was walking into my tv room I was thinking about the movie karate kid and I did a karate kid kick (i'm strange) then when I got to the tv room a band was talking about the movie Karate Kid. I didnt even hear the tv before I got in. Or maybe i'm thinking "i like the name luke for a boy" and a mom nearby with her kids has a kid named luke and says "luke". This happens alot! Is it just a really big coincidence or might I be physcic or something? (link)
|
that happens to me all the time!
i think instead of being physcic, you just have a really good six sence.
if you want to hear some stories, just ask!

About a month or two ago I made a promise to God that I would not masturbate until I turned 14. Several months ago, probably like 3 or 4 maybe 5, I turned 13. But, I broke that promise. And I know it's really bad to do that, and I'm a Catholic! But the really bad thing is, that I keep telling God I won't do it again, but I do! Sometimes when I cross my legs my clitoris throbs and it feels good, does that count? A part of me feels like he forgives me, partly because it was the time of my period when you're in heat, but part of me feels like he won't forgive me and I don't deserve to go to Heaven. I feel like I've broken my promise, God never breaks a promise and I feel unworthy. I talk to God a lot, I pray a lot, and praise him a lot. But sometimes I'm not nice to others like I should be. Like lying, or making fun of someone and not apologizing, although most of the time I do, yet I do it again! I truly, truly, truly need help to keep my promise and stay un-horny. Will I go to hell for this? Will he forgive me? I feel so scared, I want to go to Heaven! I worship God with all my heart, I really do. And I believe in Jesus and his commandments and in the beatitudes. But one night a while back, I wanted to sort of have my own way of getting an immediate answer with him. Years ago, I bought a statue of Jesus from Canada and the hands broke off accidentally. So I took one hand and fell alseep with it in my hand and asked him to have me wake up with it on the right side of my bed if the answer was "Yes, you will go to Heaven." and it go to the left side if the answer was no. It landed on the left side underneath me! I'm scared. I've done this before, and I asked him if I would meet my sisters in Heaven (I never met them) and it landed on the right side. Is this kind of witch craft or something? Well I'm really scared, so please answer this question! (link)
|
i cant tell you are confused and thats ok! it is not wrong to ask about this on a website, you want to know if what you did is wrong, and thats ok. Its all about your conscience. Im sure that God is happy with you for worshiping and praying to him. What I would do is go to confession. Im sure the priests will tell you more answers that you want to know than anyone here could say. No one can ever tell if you are going to heaven or hell, only God. Just make sure to tell the priest all the sins you think you have committed, and you can also ask him questions too. Make sure to go to church on holy days and holy days of obligation. As for the statue hands, thats is probably just a coincedence, and i wouldnt fret over it. That is probably the reason why it is so confusing. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
hope that helped.

how do you get your music on itunes onto your ipod? (link)
|
you plug it in and say yes to sync it. wait until at the top it says tranforring complete. when you dissconnect it click the little arrow that is pointing up. (it is right by where it says (your name) Ipod) your ipod should light up after you dissconnect. If you dont dissconnect the right way, you songs may not play.
if you have any more questions feel free to ask!!!

There have been rumors at my school that there will be a school shooting tommorrow, as it is the anniversary of Colombine. I know that many schools are having rumors such as this circulated, and that it probably won't happen. However, I don't feel safe going to school tommorrow. I'm terrified. My mother is making me go; she refuses to listen to me when I say that I'm scared. How can I convince her? (link)
|
if you do go to school, then the first thing that you should do is go to the office, or a teacher, and tell them. say exactly what you know. say that you are scarred, and that you dont feel safe. they will take care of it. you will feel a lot safer if you tell someone that would stop it.
if you really are terrified of going, then you should tell your mom again. get her into a room that ther is no distractions for her and tell her everything. from the rumors to saying that you dont feel safe. ask her if she could call the office and tell them. make sure not to start yelling, or "talking back" haha. say that you will make up your work, and that you really hate going to school, but you are just so terrified.
also, it is very unlikely that you will get shot, or that a person will bring a gun to school. someone could have just started that stupid rumor just to scare people.
hope that helped and good luck!! :-D

ok so i just bought a new hair straightner it cost $30.00 at the mall. my mom doesnt let me use it becase she thinks that we need some kind of spray? she says that if we dont use the spray then the hair straightner would damage my hair is this true? anybody has had a hairstraightner and used it before and nothing bad happened to their hair. i want to use it but im scared if i do need a spray or something like that to put in before using it whats it called? thanks! (link)
|
it really depends on what your hair is like. i have been straightening my hair for 2 years now, and it has never damaged my hair, and i put nothing in it. i just do it like 3 times a week, so that might make a difference on how many times you do it in a week. you can try to starighten it for a week, and see how your hair looks. if it is dry, then you should put products in your hair to protect it. i would recomed it, because i staightened my friends hair, and it totally dried out. i would suggest to put in stuff though. here is a product that is only 4$, but works really well:
http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~product_id=2143692
you could also try straightening it with products.
http://search.ulta.com/search?p=Q&ts=custom&w=+hair+straightening+creame
you could also just go to ulta.com and look around there for stuff you think you would like

hope that helpes and good luck!!! :-D

Okay, well I have a wonderfull boyfriend who ive been with for a long time. I am a religious girl, and he is also a very religious guy. We have both agreed not to have sex until marrige, but we have talked about it and both agree on the subject of fooling around before marrige (pretty much everything up to sex) In the past couple of weeks I have been getting these urges, like that making out isn't enough for me anymore, but Im scared to go any farther then that. Idk Im like afraid that God will shun me or something. Yes I know we agree on fooling around before marrige, and yes to me it seems okay for everyone but me to do it! I've been reading some of these posts and some people suggest masturbation for these urges, but again, Im afraid of God hating me or something. So basicly I have two questions:
1)Is it wrong to fool around with someone when you aren't married?
2)What kinda stuff can you do, that isn't too extreme? (link)
|
it really depends on what your concious says. you should try to stay away from going to deep when you are fooling around because that can lead to bigger things.
God will not shun you. remember to go to confession if you feel you went too far. in this book i have it says that you should only do "modest acts" (holding hands, modest kisses, embraces). you can make out, but that usually leads to bigger things. but it only depends on what your consious says. everyone says that kissing isnt enought for them, so they go on to oral etc...thats good that you are resisting for right now
hope that helped and good luck!!! :-D

Okay so this may sound gross or weird, but whatever. i need some advice. first of all, i need to know ways to smoothly shave the pubic area. every time i shave down there, even with a new razor, it isnt very smoothe and it will get bumps. what can i do to get a clean shave? and also i am thinking about waxing my upper lip. i used to bleach it, but it got bright blonde and fuzzy, so if i use those waxing strips that you're supposed to use at home, do you know how fast the hair will grow back, and will it grow back thicker?!?! (link)
|
about what the other person said below- no, you cannot use regular nair on your pubic area, but there is a certian nair for down there. it will say that on the box.
hope that helped!!! :-D

~13/f~ im the kind of gothic rough girl and hes the kind of preppy nice guy.Im not sure how I like my friend bff or bf. Weve been really close friends for a long time then it started going to bffs. because I tell him more than my other bffs and he tells me a lot and were always there for each other. But then we flirt so much. people think or say were dating or should but were not. He knows I liked him I know he liked me but I have no idea now. I went to a paintball party. We both go paint balling a lot then at the party my team was my 5 bffs 3 of their bfs and him. we flirt so much that’s what im so confused about. He was showing off and when we separated he was looking for me and worried? hes just really to nice. Is that what it should be like. But now hes been wearin a lot of black and deppressed. Does that mean something. But then we do joke or do shoot each other on purpose. And my other bff and her bf broke up that night so I went with her. So he knew so he went to get him(the guy she broke up with). Then we went around me my bff(my ?bff or bf? As in him) and my other bff (she just broke up). he was talking to her about something ‘top secret’. later on she started truth or dare. I kept doing truths I was just to nervous. I knew it was a setup. He asked truth to me if id ever take a dare. Then my bff asked truth to me if I liked him then truth to him if he liked me we both said no. I regret it. Everyone already knew anyway but im just not sure if I like him bf or bff? And ive never kissed or been kissed. That’s what it was supposed to be…us kissing. I thought wed start taking it longer than just a ‘dare’ kiss like making out or something. I like him as a bf then bff then bf then bff I just am not sure whats wrong. Hes all I think and write about.
i really need help soon. we tell each other a lot of stuff and we both knew or thought before the party that we liked each other. my life is very messed up i hate it hes all i really had.
Do I like him as a boyfriend(bf) or best friend(bff). How do you think he likes me? What should we do? How do you kiss? How could i tell my mom?
we still havent talked were bffs. what should i do?
i wrote this Q last week and this happened last week and still nothing (link)
|
it really depends on what is in your heart. if you really do like him, and you really want to go out with him, i would go for it. but i would take it slow. try to get him alone and ask him how he feels. dont demand an answer because guys hate that. be very understanding. he probably said no in the truth or dare because either you said no, or he didnt want everybody to know. it sounds like you really like him by the way you write about him, and how you said its all you ever think about. i bet he likes you too. you said he is always flirting with you, so that is a good sign. i think the reason why he dressed up in black clothes is because he wanted to get your attention, and also since you are kind of the gothic girl, he wanted to impress you. that is really nice that you trust each other, so he would make a really good bf.
for the kissing. like i said, take it slow. make sure the first time you think you might kiss him, you are alone. dont start making out or frenching on your first time. to show that you want to kiss him is looking at his lips while he is talking. dont start staring at them, but do look down at them once and awhile. then you can start leaning in towards him. most people turn their heads to the right, so watch what he is doing. if you do bang noses or teeth, just laugh it off. make sure to be gental, and dont keep your mouth open. that just invites a french kiss. trust me, it will come to you naturally.
also, this may seem a little weird, but try practicing on your hand. it really works!!!
hope that helped & good luck!!! :-D
if you have any more questions, or you need some more advice, just ask!!!

I'm okay at volley ball but not perfect at it so I need some serious tips. (link)
|
instead of giving you tips on how to do stuff, im going to give you little excersizes that will help become beter.
when you hit, you are supposed to snap your hand down, so it dosnt go out. here is a fun thing to do to help with that:
take a volleyball and find a wall that there is nothing the ball could fly up against and break something (preferably outside or in a gym) and hit the ball down to the ground at an angle so it goes the opposite direction, hits the wall, and flys back at you. when it is comeing back at you, hit is to the ground again, repeating what i just said. make sure to snap (bring your hand down really fast) while you are hitting it.
to get better at passing, here are some drills that will make you quicker, and better at passing. my team calls this the passing series. you have to do this with a partner, and they dont need to be able to to volleyball at all:
the first series is have you partner toss the ball to you, and you pass it back. do this 10 times. then they throw it off to the sides of you, so you have to shuffle to get it (10x). next is short, long. they throw it really short, and you have to run and get it. then right after you pass it to them, they throw it really long, so you have to run back and pass it to them (10x each). after, they toss it to you, and you pass it to yourself, then to them (10x) next, they throw it to you and you pass it to them. after you pass, you touch the ground with both hands (10x). after that, you pass it to them again, but this time, you have to lay on the ground and come back up to pass, lay on the ground, come back up to pass etc. (10x)
to get your hand postition for setting right, go up close to a wall, and set to it really quick. concentrate on your hands and how you are setting.
for your toss in serving, go up against a wall, about 1 foot away, and toss the ball and hit it against the wall. really focus on your toss.
here is a website that will really help

on Advicenators. If you read a question and your automatically like "Oh i know this!" and you answer it without looking at other peoples answers. Well what if you accidentally put something that is almost the same as another person, and you get rated badly? is it still considered copying someone elses answer? (link)
|
no way. i see that all of the time, but i never consider it copying. just make sure you give a fully detailed answer, that you tried your best on!
hoped that helped :-D

I hope this is where i go to put this. My hair is like frizzy. all the time and i hate it! how do I get it to be sleek and smooth? I use this get by matrix but its still frizzy (link)
|
i use sunsilk de-friz. it works really well. you can get it in a shampoo, conditioner, then, a creme that you can put in when it is wet or dry for touch ups. it works really well!!!
good luck!!! :-D
~stephi
|
|
what's the best shampoo and conditioner in your opinion? (link)
|
my hair is really poofy when it dries, so i use sunsilk anti-poof. it works really great, and it makes my hair smell really good. but, it really depends on what your hair is like. when you are shopping for shampoo, there are certian ingrediance that can be really harsh on your hair. the best that there is, is called sodium laureth sulfate. so when you are shopping, look for that ingredient.
hope that helped :-D
if you have any questions, or want to see the whole list of ingredience, just ask!!!

15 in 9 days/f
well when me and my boyfriend make out.. its not that i dont really like it.. i mean i try to.. and i tell him i do.. but honestly its not like amazing. i know that im the first girl hes made out with. and like his kisses are a little too wet for me.. and he goes a little too fast and too fast into the kiss. like i want to kiss a little first before he actually puts his tounge in my mouth.. but he just like puts it in right away and keeps it in there like the whole time and like i cant even put mine in his mouth because his is in mine the whole time. like its apparent that he doesnt really know what hes doing. but i love him and weve been going out for like 9 months and hes great with everything else but i just dont know what to do about this. like i dont wanna tell him.. but like i dont wanna not enjoy it and have to lie too! Is there like a way i can like lead the kiss so i can have it how i want it?? HELP! (link)
|
while his tounge is in your mouth, gentally take the tip of your tounge and guide it back into his mouth. keep doing this until he gets the picture.
if you really dont like it, you should talk to him. make sure to be sweet, and tell him that you enjoy kissing, but you dont want to be frenched right now.
if it is really fast, you try to slow it down. if it is too wet, you can try to be a good example, and not. he eventually will get better!!
hope that helped, and good luck!! :-D

what do you need to play volleyball? im thirteen, and im thinking of joining a travel team. is that good? or should i join a rec one.. though theres not alot of them around. like.. what do you need to buy to wear? like i see some like shin pad thing people wear on their feet. and what type of clothing? does it have to be loose like in bball or soccer or can you wear like cute semi-tight things? which is better? or is it just by choice?
can i wear sports tape on my braids? im black, but they look cute. i think its sports tape.. like some people wear them as headbands and they're usually bright colors that are shiny or sparkly. where do you even buy them from?
is there like a volleyball store i can go to get these equipment? also, i have like sneakers.. not the flat kinds, the ones with a little arch. are there like special shoes for vball or i can just wear any sneaker?
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!! (link)
|
okay this is what i wear:
i put it up in a pony tail with the sports tape (and yes you can wear that stuff) they for playing games i waer tight jerseys, but for practice, i just wear a baggy t-shirt. I wear tight spandex, but soffes are fine too. The knee pad are the "shin pads" that you can wear one your knees or below, so when you go on the ground they slide up. if you are doing a really competetive league, you can wear active ankles, so you dont roll your ankel when you are jumping. I wear high socks under my knee pads and active ankels. there are certian kind of volleyball shoes that you can get, but they are not required.
you can find all of this stuff at dicks or sports athority.
if you are just starting out with volleyball, then i would suggest a rec league to learn the game, then you can go out for a travel team.
hope that helped!!!:-D
