Q: i have really frizzy, pouffy hair and I usually straighten my hair to go to school every day. But it never stays straight! Not even for like an hour after Istraighten it..and I have a Chi which is supposed to be really good. My question is how do I keep my hair straight all day?

you could use a straightening gel in your hair. this will help it stay longer. or you can do what i do. my hair is the same way but mine can stay straight. i put hairspray through my hair as i straighten it. i dont spray on it. i spay aroun it and it holds it in place.

Q: where do you type in the html to hide your top friends?

you can type it in you about me or who id like to meet section. if you cant do it there i think the general or movie column ections are fine too

Q: When you go to see what size bra you should wear, do they measure you with your shirt off and everything?

when you go get fit for a bra, they don't make you take your shirt off. they will measure you over your shirt but htey do across your back and everythuing. if you are trying on a bra nd ou need to get it fitted differently, they may want to talk to you while you are only in the bra. you can let them or you can have them explain how o tell things otuside of the fitting room. hope i helped

Q: My boyfreind has had sex with 30 other girls and he prbably has alot of STDS and he cheats on everyone.its just in his nature. He cheated on my friend he cheated on all his other grilfriends. He tried to finger my friend when they were going out and my frined dint want him to and he wouldn't stop trying to do it. He's a man hore. He's only 16 too and he already had sex with 30 girls. And to top it all off, hes arrested right now I forgot what he did. I think hes too much truble for me because I'm not a good girl but I'm not that bad. hes already wanted sex with me the first day we were going out. I think i should dump him. Hes a bad kid and he will only cause more trouble to me. What do yuo think?

dump him!! that guy seems like a big problem and something you dont want to be dealing with. he sounds like he could really mess up your life if you stay with him. you should dump him as soon as possible.

Q: ok, i bleached my hair about 3 months ago cuz it was black and i didn't want it that color anymore. it won't take color right anymore. i've tried to dye it 2 times[brown each time] and it keeps turning blonde after a few weeks. i don't want to be blonde. is there anyway that i can dye it and it will stick?

you need to strip the colors out of your hair. you can go to a salon or buy one to do yourself by clairol. my mom and i did it and its easy. after you strip your hair, the color will be easier to handle. The colors you put in it will also show upthe right shade and won't fade as much and as fast. hope it helps.

you can be as young as kindergarten. i joined in kindergarten. in girls scouts you go through daisies then brownies then girl scouts. in girls scouts you have meetings and field trips and camping outings. its a lot of fun. you can make crafts and projects at the meetings. you also get the joy of selling girl scout cookies. thats fun.

Q: I have really bad cramps right now. Is there anything I can eat or drink to help them not be so bad? I don't want to take medicine though.

eat hot soup because warm or hot usually makes you feel better. if you dont want to eat or drink naything, put a heating pad or a water bottle filed with hot water on your stomach. heat really helps.

Q: So my parents have been getting really mad that i keep asking for money so they said to go get a job.
Well, today I applied at several places. And In the next few Days I Have A Few Interviews. Im Wondering If Anyone Knows What McDonalds Or Subway Might Ask, etc.

Thanks In Advance For All Your Help.! =]

((16/f))

they will probably ask you about your work experience if you have any. they might ask if you are good with math to be a cashier or if you have good people skills to wwork the counter. if you are preparing the food, they might look ta you cleanliness and ask about your speed at fixing orders. every place is different.

Q: does anyone know how to curl the ends of my hair?.... Plus i really want to make my hair wavy but i have no idea how!! (without usin hair curlers or wateva) please help me because im really bored with my style! its always down strate thanx ill rate 5 for any good answers

to make it curly or wvy braid your hair whjile it's wet. when it dries or appears to be dry, take it out of the braids and it will be very wavy. there is no way to actually curl the ends of your hair under without an iron or culers. sorry.

Q: help!
im going to a dance next week with a guy i really like, i have no idea what to wear, how to dance, and how to style my hair! IM not very good with all this girly girl stuff it is all new to me and i can't spend a lot all my friends are wearing dresses what do i do??
plz help
scared

ok well first of all: what to wear? well most people wear dresses. some wear skirts or pants. wear what you are comfortable. try shopping at department stores or little shops for cheap outfits. you dont have to be girly. if you do wear a dress, make sure you can 1. move around, 2. walk, and 3. be comfortable.

now for your hair. well if you have curly hair then you can scrunch, straighten or pull it back. if you have straight hair, you can curl little pieces aeround your head, leave it straight, curl it, and you can make fancy twists around your head.

and th dancing part. when you dance just feel comfortable. if you do line dances dance with your friend. for slow dancign just let him lead. and for the other kinds of music dance when you are comfortable. when you arent, go to the bathroom, get food or drink, or use this time to go take a picture or catch up with someone.

dances are supposed to be fun! dont sweat it1 if you want more help send me a message
good luck

Q: My 15-year-old niece is having a birthday soonish and I'd like to get her a present. She likes reading so I figured a book would be good. What's a book that is of literary quality that a 15-year-old would like, but does not contain any sex or swear words (her mom wouldn't let her read it then)? And don't say the Princess Diaries series, I think she has all those already.

the new meg cabot book, avalon high is good. read it and loved it. if she likes the princess diaries, also by meg cabot, shell like this book.

Q: I am really smart but i have a total problem with asking girls out. I want to ask this girl in my class. I keep hinting her as much as i can without sounding creepy but she isnt picking up on it. How do i get her to ask me out???

well, first of all, she might not be bold enough to ask you. she might want you to ask her. and the other possibiliity is that she may like you along with another person. so she's not pursuing you. she might have found out that both of the people she likes like her back and is trying to igure out which one of you she likes. or she could just not be catching on. you might want to just tell her straight out. or wait a few days and keep hinting. tyou never know. give her a little bit of time to make up her mind.

Q: I'm 15/f and my older sister is 17/f. She refuses to believe that I wear a bigger bra size than her. I don't think it's a big deal or anything becuase why would it be? Now she always talks about how I wear really padded bras. I hate padded bras and I've never owned one. I tell her that and then she goes into how I probably stuff. I don't know what her problem is. What should I do other than just ignore her? I can't ignore her because she talks about it infront of everyone!

act like you don't care. she'll eventually stop. don't feel bad. i wear like a D and im 13. your sister is just jealous. don't let her jealousy bother you. if worse comes to worse, prove it to her. compare sizes. im bigger than a lot of ppl n i get made fun of. i just ignore them or pretend like it doesn't bother you. embrace it when she acts like that. if you act like you like it when she tells people that then she'll stop because it flatters you. hope everything works out!

Q: I went on a blind date today and it didnt excactly turn out the way I wanted it to. Well for starters, I had agreed to meet him at a local coffee shop with the couple that set us up. He was late and when he did show up he didnt look too happy when he saw me for the first time. He didnt offer to buy me anything to drink or eat, and the whole time we ended up talking about his friends or his business. He didnt ask me any questions about me or my personal life or interests, which indicated that he wasnt too crazy about me. We all talked for about a half hour, and when the couple the introduced us had to leave, my date looked at his watch and said he had to go. He never offered me his number or asked for mine. He actually looked like he couldnt wait to get out of there. The other couple looked surprised and thought we would have stayed longer. My friend (the wife of the other couple) I think felt bad and invited me over to her place afterwards.
Is it just me, or was my blind date really rude? I don't understand what I did to make him act like this, the whole time I was polite and engaged him in conversation.
Any feedback will be appreciated. I rate high!

your date was extremely rude. it seems to me like he didnt want to go at all. or he was bored. you should not take it personally. he's just a jerk. don't let his mean behavior get you down. you seem like a polite person. you did nothing wrong. he was just selfish and a complete jerk. forget him and move on. pretend it never happened.
