i want to get a really nice hair straightener for christmas. something that works really well and lasts reasonably long. I don't want a CHI, or really anything above $80. what do you recommend? (link)
|
Go to a beauty supply shop, like Sally Beauty Supply, and they can recommend one for you.
I went to Walmart and Target and bought almost every straightener there. I ended up returning all of them. Conair and Remington are not good quality hair straighteners at all. Trust me.
If you want good quality, get a GVP (Generic Value Product) straightener from Sally's. I bought one yesterday for $50. It's ceramic, so it doesn't damage your hair that much. It's simply amazing. It's very inexpensive, considering that it gets your hair really straight in a short amount of time. It's normally $70, but it only costs $50 throughout December. Personally, I think that GVP's are as good as CHI straighteners for a fraction of the price.
Remington's Wet-to-Straight is horrible. It hurts because it pulls your hair, and it doesn't straighten wet or damp hair. It just fries it. Trust me, I had one. Conair straighteners take forever to heat up, and when they do, they aren't hot at all.
Good luck. :]

Ok so i have the GAYEST HAIR IN THE WORLD. i want straight hair, but my parents wont let me get a relaxer. i can straighten it, yeah, but it takes like 2 hours. and it only stays straight for like 30 minutes, then it gets wavy.
so i was wondering if anyone might know of something that could make my hair straight that:
1) doesnt include me straightening it.
2) doesnt include me blow drying it.
3) and costs under like, 20 dollars.
i know it seems kind of impossible, but im just wondering. (link)
|
I'm sorry, I'm confused. How can hair be gay? It sounds like you're trying to say that your hair is stupid, but I can't see how "gay" and "stupid" are related at all.
Please, don't use "gay" as a synonym for "stupid". You never know if someone around you actually IS gay, and if there is, then you just hurt someone's feelings. :/
|
okay this is ganna sound pretty gay but whatever. me and my friend have this joke like pajamas with the lamas. and likee it sounds gay but if you were there it was funnyy ass hellll :] kayy so. as a christmas present i wanna get her pajamas with lamas on them. is there any placee where i can get those. or like have any ideass. ?
thankss much. :] (link)

Please don't use the word "gay" as a synonym for "stupid".
"okay this is ganna sound pretty gay"
Gay does not mean stupid. There are many gay people who give advice on this website, and I'm sure they do not appreciate how you use the word negatively.

About a week ago, I felt very uncomfortable. I was talking to someone during school, and somehow we got into the conversation of homosexuality.
She was disgusted, blunt about how all gay people should be burned to death, that they chose to be rebellious and gay and they would rot in hell forever. I, myself, am not gay, but I was so taken back by what she was saying. I told her that I did not believe in God, and that I believe that people do not choose their sexual orientation. Mind you, I am not ignorant. I was raised to believe in God, but as I have gotten older (17) I have realized my own views.
She flat out told me that I was going to hell along with all the gays, muslims, buddhists, non-believers, jews, etc; Asked why I was defending gays, and then decided to accuse me of being gay for not agreeing that gays are disgusting.
I stayed calm, and asked he what she would do if she birthed a gay child. She told me should would lock it in a closet or in their room and not let it come out until it was straight.
I am just feel offended and imposed upon. Just because I do not believe in the same thing she, or the majority of people in my area (i live in the south) do, doesn't mean I should be yelled at and accused, and meant to felt horrible about myself.
I don't impose my views upon others, but I just felt so uncomfortable when she was basically giving me a one way ticket to hell.
Should I just forget about it, and disregard her?
Help. :/ (link)

im thinking about moving out next fall- in with my boyfriend. im 16, i'll be 17. hes 18 soon to be 19.
it is possible for me to continue going to high school once i move out, but still- finishing it up online would make my life easier for when im on my own. ill have more time to work and take care of things.
what are some sites or places sources whatever that offer courses online? (link)
|
Contact high schools near you and find out if they offer online classes. The high schools in my district offer online classes for kids who want to get ahead, or who have fallen behind.
Here's a link to the online classes that my school district offers. Maybe this can help you find online classes in your area. :]

why do some guys insist on not wearing a condom? dont worry i made him but still.... what is so great for them about not wearing one? (link)
|
I heard this from a movie once: Wearing a condom during sex is like eating steak in a sandwich bag.
Does that answer your question? :]

I am entering my first year of university at a Canadian university this year. I want to major in International Relations, and go on to take a masters degree in the same subject. I've always had an obsession with Finland--the society, politics, the people--it fascinates me. My dream job would be to be the Canadian ambassador to Finland.
So would it be more beneficial for me to take my masters degree at a Canadian/American university, or at a Finnish one? Which one would help my career more? (link)
|
I doubt that where you get the degree is important. I suggest making your decision based on cost and which program interests you more.
It really does not matter where you obtain your master's degree, so since it doesn't matter, take the less expensive route. =]

Can your metabolism change? Like if you have a slow metabolism over time can it change into a fast metabolism?
Same with fast metabolisms. If you have a fast metabolism can it change into a slower metabolism?
Thank you. (link)
|
Yes, your metabolism can change.
Things that increase your metabolism:
Green tea
Fiber (beans, whole grain, vegetables, fruit)
Milk
Things that decrease your metabolism:
Alcohol

My friend gave me a gift card to abercrombie. Generally I fit way better into their store Abercrombie and Fitch. Abercrombie just has smaller sizes.. because that is the store for younger kids, and I'm pretty skinny so my friend gave me the gift card for there.
Anyways..basically I'm wondering, since technically Abercrombie & Fitch is not the exact same store as Abercrombie, if its even possible for me to use the gift card at abercrombie and fitch? Sine its for abercrombie.. (link)
|
You can use the Abercrombie card at Abercrombie & Fitch.
A lot of companies do this. For example, if you have a giftcard to Old Navy, you could use it at Old Navy, Banana Republic, or Gap because they are all under one company.

I've never had a job before, and tomorrow I have a job interview at Walmart. Does anyone know what questions they might ask me? Or some tips on what I should or shouldn't say?
Thanks. (link)
|
I just had an interview at K-Mart, so I think I can help. These are the questions I was asked:
1. Why do you want to work here?
2. What do you want to major in in college? Why?
3. Describe a situation where you were a leader.
4. What do you think will be your greatest challenge while working here?
5. Our customers are what make this business successful. How will you treat them?
6. How many hours would you like to work?
7. What activities are you a part of?
8. Describe a situation where you worked in a group or team.
Remember:
-Show up 5-10 minutes early
-Dress nicely
-Say "please" and "thank you"
-Shake hands with the interview person
-Offer more than a one-word answer
-Ask questions about the job (it shows that you are interested)
-Treat the interview as a conversation, not an interrogation
Good luck!

hey, i know you have your own problems to deal with and stuff but. i dont know i need some advice and you seem understanding and stuff. so, if you could help me with this, thatd be great.
nothing seems to be going good for me lately.
i was going out with this boy that i really really liked. alot.
boys tend to not treat me well..ive been punched by boyfriends, slapped..stuff like that.
& this boy was one of the only boyfriends ive had who treated me good. things were going great for about 4 months..up until lately when he started calling me stupid, ugly, and fat.
it got to me.
big time.
about 3 years ago, i became obsessed with losing weight. it started off with just like, cutting down portions. then last year, it got worse. i cut out eating all together sometimes.
now, it hurts to eat. mentally and physically.
i know i screwed my metabolism up, and now i can only eat little things.
and i always feel so bad after i eat. i feel really disappointed to the point where i just want to throw up.
and im constantly feeling big, fat, and [for lack of better words-] whale-ish.
and so when my boyfriend started being kinda rude to me, all that came back.
so i thought if i dumped him and cut him off from my life completely i would feel better about myself.
well. i did.
but i only feel worse.
i feel that if i lost weight i would feel better about myself
so ive been excercising more and trying to eat right, but i cant seem to lose anything, which only makes me feel worse.
i dont know, its messed up.
do you have any advice?
about anything?
sorry this is long.
oh. idk if this helps but
im 16, 5'2, 98 lbs.
thank you for reading this. (link)

This is such a hard question to answer because I have been in your shoes before, and I know that nothing anyone says can make you forget about losing weight.
I've been anorexic, too, and it's not fun at all to look at your body and see fat when it isn't there.
I don't think that you need to lose anymore weight. You are underweight, according to am-i-fat.com.
I know that that is not enough, though, and I feel really bad. I've been told that I'm too thin my whole life. I've been told I need to eat more and stop worrying. But the desire to be thin is just too strong, and I think it is with you, too.
I think you should stop exercising so excessively and eat in a healthy way, with 3 meals and no snacks. You should stay about the same weight and not gain too much, either, so you won't have to worry about your weight as much as you do. Just eat light foods, like meat and vegetables, not pasta and sweets.
I'm very sorry you feel like you need to lose weight when you don't. I completely understand. No one can help you but yourself. This is a psychological problem that can only be fixed by changing the image you have for yourself, which is a very difficult thing to do.
Do not listen to your peers. They are just trying to put you down. If you have a boyfriend who verbally or physically abuses you, tell him to stop. Seriously. If he doesn't, then you need to end the relationship on the spot. Being in an abusive relationship always ends in pain.
Eat light foods like I said, and try to spend more time with friends. That helps me forget about my weight a little bit.
I hope that I helped!

I've put on weight. And today two seperate people were like
"Oh,Jordann you've put on weight."
One even was like you were like this [ ], now you're like this [ ]" (with her hands)
I'm feleign really self-conscious, and insecure.
Should I try and drop a few?

I think losing 10-15 pounds wouldn't hurt.
I think you are average.

Hey im in a dilemma lol
Tomorrow is my graduation. I just happened to like a boy today. Im not going to the same high school as him anymore and hes moving out of this area. I really like him and if i spend more time with him this summer, im just going to get more attached and it would be harder for me to let go. What should i do?
Thanks, this is urgent! (link)
|
Spend time with him this summer. A lot of people are in situations like yours. I think they call it a summer fling or something like that, where you date during the summer, but you know you will have to break up once school starts.
Take advantage of the time you have. You'll regret it if you don't.
|
FYI: I am a 20 year-old recent college grad. Both men I am referring to in this question are only slightly older than me and finishing their degrees.
"Joe" and I began dating 2 1/2 years ago. Our relationship was generally good when last summer (1 1/2 years in)he decided that he didn't want a serious girlfriend. Nothing mean or ugly, he was just being honest. I tried all summer to change his mind but finally gave. (We remained close friends.)
After dating around for a little while, I began seeing "Michael". Our relationship was somewhat rocky because we had both come out of relationships and he had been hurt many times before. During this time, Joe began to develop interest in having a relationship. I thought it over and eventually decided to try things again with Joe. (I stayed in close contact with Michael.)
Joe and I have a really easygoing relationship, but he refuses to discuss a more serious commitment. When we discuss it, he says he doesn't see us going in that direction at this point but is always careful to avoid losing me entirely. In the past few months, Michael has attempted to see other people to no avail. He is convinced that I am the only one for him. We have been getting along beatuifully, and Michael has done everything he to prove to me that we belong together. (Both are fully aware of each other and the current status.)
Michael wants me to leave Joe and become engaged to him. (He's even looking at rings.) I am seriously considering this. I love both men very much (in somewhat different ways) and could she myself happily married to either (in 2-5 years). The difference here is that Michael is willing to commit and Joe is not. Both have treated me very well; although Michael is romantic (flowers) while Joe is considerate (fixs my car). Is there any point in continuing to wait for Joe or should I leave him and accept the proposal from Micheal? (link)
|
I know everyone has basically said "CHOOSE MICHAEL!", but I disagree.
You said Michael has been hurt many times before. Maybe since his last relationship ended, he has been clingy, and already wants to get married to avoid getting hurt again.
I think you should end it with Joe, but that doesn't mean you should marry Michael right away. You should continue to date Michael for another 6 months at least, and see how things go. If he really loves you and you really love him, then you should get married. If you realize that he is just behaving in a way to get you to fall for him, or that he only loves you because you're the only person who hasn't hurt him, then you should not marry Michael. I have my doubts about Michael. Like another columnist said, he sounds too perfect.
In conclusion (and this is my opinion), dump Joe and give Michael 6 months.

I put a video on youtube of me dancing, but i took it off. A ton of people saw it- and this one guy told a bunch of people that it was a video of me STRIPPIPNG! Then this one girl who was told that told EVERYONE else! Now everyone in my dance studio thinks i'm some stripper whore.
What can I do about this? i feel terrible and guilty. and i'm not even a stripper! (link)
|
YouTube does not let you post videos of nudity, so that doesn't make sense that you posted a video like that.
Just let it go. You know the truth, they don't. And if anyone asks you about it, just tell them you were dancing. If they don't believe you, tell them you don't care if they believe because you know what really happened.

i hav a question, i am going to a community college for two years then i plan to transfer to a 4year college as a junior. do i need to get an associates degree before transfering?i want to be a lawyer, i don't know if this has anything to do with it. help please (link)
|
I'm kind of in the same situation as you. I don't know if I want to get an Associate's Degree before getting a Bachelor's.
In your case, it depends on a lot of things. Do you have a lot of money to pay for college, or do you have to look into scholarships and loans? If you have enough money for college, I would recommend getting the Associate's Degree first. That way if anything happens in the future (you get kicked out of college, you decide to drop out, etc.), you still have that Associate's Degree to help get a job.
If you need financial aid, you should go to a community college for a year or two, but ONLY take classes that you KNOW will transfer. Don't worry about getting an Associate's Degree; just take the core classes (English, Math, Science, History, etc.).
I hope that I helped!

does anyone know is blockbuster hires underage persons? im 17 and looking for a summer job to pay for college. aslo any idea how much they would pay? and is there anything i should know about, like tips, if hired this would be my first job. thanks (link)
| |
What the other columnists said is not true. Blockbuster only hires people who are 18 years old and older. I've been to Blockbusters in Texas, Georgia, and Ohio. They all require you to be 18.

In a couple of days I am going to Dominica, an island in the west indies for a month to do community service with a group of other high schoolers.
Apparently at night it is in the 80's and I am very worried about having trouble going to sleep, because sleeping in hot weather is so hard. all i'm going to have is a sheet, but does anyone have ideas on what i could bring or do at night so I won't be so hot?? I'm extremely worried that I will never be able to get to sleep! (link)
|
Like the other columnist mentioned, bring a battery-operated fan. Also, for the sheet that you bring, make sure it is a very light sheet (don't bring a comforter or heavy sleeping bag).
Don't worry too much about what to do at night. If it's 80 degrees at night, I would be much more worried about how hot it is during the day.

Yes. The other columnist is right; the picture is from Saw III.

I brush my teeth everyday and try to hard to keep them white. I've used trays and whitening toothpaste. I wanted to know of something you have personally used that had good results. I don't want to spend a lot of money on something.
Thanks so much in advance!! (link)
|
Have you tried using an electric toothbrush? Ever since I started using mine, my teeth look whiter. If you use an electric toothbrush, whitening toothpaste, and whitening mouthwash, your teeth should get whiter in a week.
I recommend Biotene for the mouthwash. It kills more bacteria in your mouth than Listerine.
