Q: [14/f]

when i was 12 i noticed the hair on my arm was growing and there was more of it, so i figured i could get rid of it the same way i get rid of my leg hair, by shaving it. Well I did and I regret it now because the hair keeps growing back darker and thicker and I have to keep shaving them since its so dark. Is there anything I can do to stop the hairs from growing in as dark and thick as they are? Or am I screwed for life?
Wax your arms. I slid into the same pit as you.
Waxing lasts longer, it might hurt though if your not used to waxing.

Q: 14/f. i'm going into 9th grade, which at my school is still in middle school. now i have two questions:

1)is it easier to buy 1 large 3" binder for all five of my academic classes, or two colored 1.5" binders (one for my three morning classes and one for my two afternoon classes). i just need a first hand experience here. will two binders get too confusing?

2) i want to decorate the front of my binder(s). i'm going to get the type of binders that have that clear pocket on the front of the binder that you can slide a piece of paper into. i want to cut out things from magazines but i don't know what to cut out things that i won't like half way through the year. i thought of cutting out store names and things but i need more!

any input will help me A LOT!
In my opinion its better if you use folders and notebooks instead of binders. But I would go with the 2 binders. Why? One because you don't want to heave around a big ass binder from class to class. Two you stay more organized because it's simpler to understand which class goes with what paper. Never mix business with pleasure. Just have the name of the subjects to binder belongs to and your good to go.

Q: Hi , can anyone help!!!!!! I am 17 years old. I have a problem in that I would like to become a Goth/Gothic/ but I am also thinking about going to college /wanting a career working with horses. But how is this possible? Can Goths get jobs working with horses? Can i work with horses and still be a Goth realistically?? PLEASE HELP!!!! it's just I desperately want to do both! It's just I have NEVER EVER in my life SEEN ANYONE who is a Goth/gothic who works in a stable yard. Also the hours working with horses are long....so how can i be a Goth in my spare time ..if I don't have much spare time? But I really want to do both...WHAT CAN I DO?? help!!!! Also I was also considering a career as an actress. I would quite like to go to college do study 'performing Arts' but again:.....can I be a Goth AND an actress...because I don't think I have EVER seen a Goth actress.Do you know of any famous actors/actresses who are also Goths/gothic/follow the gothic lifestyle??? What can I do?? I haven't decided whether I want to work with horses or go into performing Arts yet.....but whatever I do I would also like to become a Goth/gothic. Can I still become a Goth if i get a job as an actress or with horses??? Please can anyone out there offer me any advice???? PLEASE HELP!!!!! Do you know of any people who either work with horses or who are actors/actresses but who are also goths?? HELP? CAN I BECOME A GOTH AND WORK WITH HORSES/AS AN ACTRESS??? please be realistic.
I am from England
Who cares if you work with horses or your an actress. Being a goth is cool but you still have to live your life with your own interests as well.

Q: age:13
gender:female

school is starting for me tomorrow and i need some advice on how to take on people who make fun of me.the school i go to is 7-12 graders combined in one school.and theres one perticular guy i can't stand.his name is nick and i used to have a crush on him.but then i found out he was a real jerk.now he makes fun of me saying i wouldn't date you in a million years.and when he would pass me he would make a barfing noise.and he makes fun of me and my bf cause we're such an odd couple.people say he's a freak and everything.he makes very rude remarks about us.and i can't just ignore it cause i've done that before and he doesn't stop.and i want to tell him off but i don't know how.my sister has stuck up for me for years but now i can barely see her so i have to face him alone.what do i do?
sorry this is long.
He's probably jealous he let you go. Just ignore him for the time being. If he comes up to you in person or something or makes remarks or starts a rumor about you. Tell him to fuck off. Or tell him "what do you have against me, you fucking manwhore!" one of my class mates did it last year and that guy was the laughing stock of the whole school. It was hilarious.

Q: I'm so confused about masturbation. Is it right or wrong? I keep getting these urges and I'm scared to masturbate because I'm afraid it's wrong for me to do because I'm afraid my mom might get mad and tell me not to, but I can't control my hormones! I can't even sleep because of my hormones. What should I do?
It depends on you. Many people masturbate, it's like the 'how to control your hormones in the Newe Age' kind of thing. First of all, your mom doesn't have to know. Second of all, you can't control your hormones, no matter what you do. I don't understand how you can't sleep though. Is it because the thought you masturbated bothers you?

Q: hey, you answered my question about my problems with masturbation? well, my mom isn't that nice and she's in the hospital right now. im so confused and i dont know what to do because sometimes i can't control my hormones, and it's preventing me from getting a good night's sleep. plus im chicken when it comes to talking about these things. what should i do?


thank you in advance.
I'm really sorry about your mom. But maybe it's better if you just let the cards fall where they should. I mean you said you can't control so why beat it. Maybe this isn't the best answer you were expecting but face it, what else can you do. I'm also sorry you don't have a very good connection with your mother. Maybe you should start.

Q: everytime i try to put a picture of myself on my site, i cant. it tells me that the file was too big or something... can someone explain to me how i can get a picture on ?
It means that your picture is too big. It has to be no bigger than 15k but it can also be smaller. Go to the file where you keep the photo you want to put and either click edit or paint. You can use the tools to crop uneeded spaces out of the picture.

Q: I was logging on to my computer and my dad's screenname was on and i found some porn on his recent go-to sites. It made me really really mad. *&& said something about an escort [[yeah I know what that means]] it really hurts me. I want to confront him *&& my mom about it, but I know i'll get yelled at for my parents thinking i just went on his screenname at this time they wont believe me, because they recently grounded me from myspace. Please help me ! thank you
Tell your mom and show her the proof. This may not be your dad's first time and if he keeps this up, your mom might find out later and it'll hurt way worse.

Q: Hey im 15/f. I was wondering how do you use hair rollers. Are they hard to use, do i need somebody helping me? Will they work if you have semi-straight hair? Basically i just wanna know how to use it and what to do. Thanks a bunch!!!
Yes you definitely need help. And yes it could work any type of hair. If its's semi-straight you need to leave it on for like about 1/2 hour or maybe more.

Q: I had very long hair even past my boobs and I got it cut yesterday and now it ie! And how long will it grow in a month?s a little past my shoulders. I like it shorter, but I wish it could be just 2 inches longer! How long will it grow from yesterday (aug 23rd) to September 6th? My hair grows a little faster then the average person. And how long will it grow in a month?? Thank you..
Depending on how healthy your hair is. It can grow up to 1/2 inch per month. Healthy hair = smooth, shiny, no split ends etc. etc.

Q: I've been looking around for homecoming dresses with thicker straps, but I'm having a hard time. They don't have to be really wide, I would just like to be able to wear a regular bra underneath it. Strapless bras are always a pain because you have to keep pulling them up and even with underwire, they hardly support anything. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a dress with thicker straps? Thanks a lot!!!
If you can't find a dress with thicker straps go to a frabric store like Joans or something and get a color you would like the straps to be and sew it on. It's quite simple.

Q: i know this is really weird but are there any bras who can make your boobs look smaller?
Sports bras.

Q: My mom pushes me with grades. She made me study all day for 5 days for one test, and I got a 77. Now I'm grounded for 2 weeks and have to study even harder and longer. I have no social life during the week and rarely on weekends because my mom always makes me study. I'm just not that smart. My first language is Chinese, so school in America is difficult and my mom doesn't care. She hit me with the textbook once because I didn't take notes like she told me to. My friends and I agree that I'm doing the best I can, and adding even more days of non-stop studying won't help. What do I do?
When your studying to have ALL your attention towards the subject or are you thinking of something else?

Q: Hey. I was looking at someone else's question about shaving "down there" and I was wondering about shaving. A few questions like do guys expect hair or no hair? If you are a guy what do you think/ would want?
Thanks.
If your sexually active or you have a boyfriend you should keep it shaved. If not, why bother.

Q: If a gurl is 17 in her boyfriend is in his 30s is it still rape! Dont answer if you are not sure!!
Its not considered as 'rape' if the guy didn't force you to have sexual intercourse with him. But if he was a bit rough and maybe he told you he was a rapist you should press charges against him. The longer you wait his semen could 'fade' I guess. And it would be harder to tell who's semen it is.

Q: everytime i masturbate [which isn't often], I feel so much shame.

I'm 14 and I just feel like masturbation is wrong - yet I can't help it when I have hormones. What should I do? Should I keep masturbating and keep it a secret from my mom, or just stop because I feel ashamed?
That's good that you don't do it often and I know a million teens do it practically everyday. I'm not saying its wrong or anything I don't really know but I think it's a waste of time. If your mom is as kind as mine all she would say is don't do it again. I never did it again either. I guess I control my hormones better than most people. But that's just me.
