i get pimples on my chin. gross i know. but they are like under the skin and hurt like a bitch. is it best to just leave them alone. or should i get the crap out of them quickly. and what can i do so i stop getting them. i dont get pimples anywhere else.

If its under your skin, Dont pop it! It might release the puss and oil crap under your skin too, which causes infections/more acne. Id say just get a medicine or something, [ Clearisil works great ] or go to the derm. Hope I helped, sorry if I didnt.

my friend lily really wants to be in theater, but she never wants to sing. and i'm like sing lily come on i'll tell you the truth if you are bad or not. well she finally did but she was embarrased to sing right infront of me so she made a video of her singing random lines. I don't think she's like horrible. What do you think? I really want to know so I can tell her if she should try getting singing lessons or something. Please don't say oh she's flat or she isn't hitting the note cause she never has had singing lessons. Thanks! Heres the link to the video (please watch the whole thing): http://youtube.com/watch?v=j_Myf-hEBzY

From what I could tell from that, shes alright. I think a voice coach would be a good idea. In my opinion, shes lacking strength in her voice and consistancy with her notes. Very quiet also, she needs to be more bold and daring with some keys. I think she could be really good if she was just a little more confident. Hope all goes well. :]

hello..
random question but i was wondering if anyone knows of any exercises for thighs?
thanks!

Simple squats, and knee lifts worked wonders for me! And reading other answers below, those also work great.

Everyone says American Eagle is the best store, but personally I hate it. All of their t-shirts are basically the same things with different words and colors. A lot of their clothes are really bad quality. I bought a cami from there once and I only wore it once and a HUGE hole ripped and I wasn't even running around or anything. It may be a little cheaper then Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister, but atleast if you buy something from A&F or Hollister, you know the clothes are going to last. American Eagle's clothes arn't the most attractive things, and they look cheap. What do you think about AE?

Personally, I agree with you. I own one thing from there, which was a gift, and it got holes in it like the 3rd time I wore it. But In my opinion, Hollisters clothes are of poor quality also.

what are black heads?

They are small clots of dirt and oil in the pores, usually small but they can get affected. Theyre really not a big deal and are normally easy to get rid of, you can use black head strips [ they pull out the dirt and oil ], get special facewash/acne pads, or see a derm. NEVER POP THEM. They can leave the nastiest scares ever, its gross. Hope I helped!

I have like really skinny thighs n I hate it! I want to have a little bit of fat on them! Is their any way that I can gain weight in my thighs without gaining it any where else?

Well, eating is the only rational thing to gain some meat on your bones, but instead of 'fat' id say itd be better just to eat a lot of protein and build your muscle there. Otherwise, you could just eat and work the other parts of your body. Unfortunatly theres no easy way to do this for lazy people like me. Lol.

hey im gonna start 8th grade in august, and i still havent gotten my period. is this normal??

Yes! Its perfectly normal, I have a friend who hasnt gotten hers and we're sophmores. It could be because your athletic { if you are } or just because your body hasnt fully prepared for it yet. And trust me when i say this, your lucky. It just causes moodiness and cramps for most girls, and is often a road block for fun. So if your worried about it, dont be!

is there any way to relieve menstrual cramps?
i've taken advil, and i'm home alone so i can't go and get midol or anything else.
but the advil doesn'thelp.
and... i know everyone says those rice heating bags and putting them on your stomach, but i don't have one.
anyone have ideas??
thankss

If you dont have a heating bag, try filling up a water bottle or something with hot water, it works just as well. If theyre horribly bad take it easy and call your mom/someone who could stop and pick up medication or give you furthur advice.

what can i say to my boyfrind if he being a real bitch to me

Dont be mean, that causes WAY more drama then neccesary. Just be like, I dont appreciate the way youve been treating/ talking to me. Could you please try to watch how you act/talk? And if he agrees but still does it or says no just remind him that you have the power to be just as big of a bitch back.. or you could totally bitch him out but that usually doesnt have good results. Hope I helped!

When I put a picture on the computer and I try and put it on myspace, it always says it's too big. So when I use the program they offered called Irfanview it never works! it always says it's too big whenever i make it smaller. Basically, what I'm asking is, what websites would make my pictures smaller so I can load them onto Myspace?

You can just use the paint program on Windows computers. Go to 'Image' On the toolbar and go to stretch/skew image, type in 85 in BOTH boxes and save it like that.

I like G. for one month...He is really nice to me...And we always hug each other kiss each other and we act like we are together...My friends and his friends think that we are together..I think i am beautiful because boys think that..Yesterday was like every day..We were hugging each other and we were on his motorcycle...We were "touching" each other A LOT..Like only couples do...And then he would drive me home..We were on his motorcycle when he turned and we were so close and we kissed each other...It happened and i was happy about that..I am...But we are not together..He didn't ask me to be with him or something like this...Today everything fine..Without touching and kiss(lips)..I really want to be with him..It is the first time i like a boy THAT much...What should i do to be with him???He is a really good guy...We know each other 1 year but only this last months things are that "good"..What should i do to be with him apart from asking him out???P.S.(When he were hugging each other i heard his heart which was beating really quickly...)

Next time you guys are close just be like, wait.. Do we really want to do this if we arent together? And just make it obvious that you want to be with him, because if you let him get to you and he takes the chance he either really cares or just wants to get into you pants. So honestly, I find it easiest to just be striaght forward and tell him youd rather be together officially doing this stuff, and if he cares hell take the hint.

I like this guy, alot, and he calls me 'baby' and stuff and always hugs me. But my friend said that he said he didnt like me. But i dont know...i mean she could be lying...but i dont know what to do! Please help me!!!

Well, friends arent always to be trusted. But if he calls you baby and hugs you he either really cares about you or is a player. So if you think he really cares, talk to him, or his friends if your too shy. If you like him a lot let him know, and I hope this works out for you.

My friend and I are having an argument over what makes people "Punk" She says its how the person dresses/what type of music they listen to. I say its how they act/what they do that makes them labeled that way. I get labeled punk alot cause my friends and I do crazy things & get into trouble alot, but I wear hollister/abercrombie and no one cares. Whos right?

Actually, people are so judgemental it ends up being all of those things. Because people judge right away it is often what they wear and everything, but truthfully, I believe what you think is correct, or at least it should be.

ok well i like this boy, cant forget the, nvm. i've tried telling him & myself that i hate him. didnt work. tried saying sorry, sounded desprate. what can i do? did i screw up to badly? please&thankyou

Ahh! Im in the SAME situation and I feel so stupid.

Idk, Im going to call him, apoplogize again and again and again and tell him that his friendship means a lot to me. If that doesnt work, idk I guess theres not much you can do but let time work things out. Just explain how your feeling and how you want things to work out, Im not sure if this will work but hopefully it helped and gave you an idea or two of what you want to do.

ok well im the counceler of a summer camp and at the end of it we're having this fun-dance and we have to choose a good dancing song from a movie to dance to. anything but highschool musical because another camp is doing it. and it cant have any swearing or bad stuff because theres kids in the camp.. just like from a disney movie or something like that. thanks!

This sounds really lame, but you could do something from the Cheetah Girls. Lol. Or if not that just get together, and google disney movie soundtracks so you can all choose together.

Yessss! Just be you and be cute, cause girls like that. Maybe after a few times talking to her just say like, Hey, do you want to hang out sometime before or after piano? Chances are shell say yes!

Hey everyone..I was just wondering if anyone knows of some good songs to practice the various model walks to...I already have the following:

1. Beyonce- Crazy In Love
2. Kelly Osborne- One Word
3. Beyonce- Deja Vu
4. Kool And The Gang- Jungle Boogie
5. TaTu- All The Things She Said
6. TaTu- Not Gonna Get Us

As some of you may know.."Techno" songs are probably the best to practice to. But I cannot think of any more. So if yall know of any songs with a good steady *not too fast* beat please let me know! Thank You!!!!

I would try possibly something like
Best Friend - Toy Box
or if you have limewire or Bearshare
look up techno mixes, they usually have some good ones.

Hope that helped!

hey,
how can I apply bronzer without looking orange?

Use downward strokes, and make sure to blend it well. Dont go for a shade that is too much darker than your natural skin tone.

my boyfriend wants to fight with a relative of mine who has a crush on me....REAL CRUSH ON ME..they said that they will have a "till death" fight and i dont know how to stop them...my boyfriend and that guy are really stubbonrn...they may REALLY get one another KILLED...i just need a way to stop them...i am almost 15 and my realtive is 15 and half and my boyfriend is turning 17,thank you

Well, the way I see it, you probably dont like your relative? So talk to him, tell him it cant work out, and talk about him respecting your boyfriend. If that doesnt work, just try to keep them apart, or have a talk with all three of you, and explain to them how you feel. If they really love you, and see that your upset, chances are they wont fight.

Well, a rumor got spread about me at school last year that was completely untrue, and someone who was one of my absolute best friends believed it. He's a boy, and I'm a girl, and I guess it was just very dissapointing to have him believe it..I wouldn't have expected it out of him. (and the rumor didnt have anything to do with another guy, or him, or anything) Well, after he heard about it he stopped talking to me. Just completely ignored me, etc, so I did the same back. And it was hard, because we were very good friends, but hey, I didn't want to be friends with someone who would think I'd sink that low.

Anyway, two nights ago he called me and just out of the blue asked ME why I stopped talking to him. I explained the whole situation & he sounded very sorry. He told me if I ever have a problem to come to him about it. He said he hated when we weren't talking, hanging out, etc.

My problem is, I just don't know if I can believe it. He is a VERY sincere person, that's why I was so shocked when he just believed the rumor about me, and wouldn't come to ME to ask me about it. But idk, we talked for an hour on the phone and he said he hated that I didn't talk to him, etc, and that we basically weren't friends. I think I'm just confused, and wondering if I should believe that he didn't talk behind my back and stuff the whole time he believed the rumor?

I think you should go with your gut. You said he was sincere.. do you trust that? If you do, if you honestly think hes a good guy, rekindle your friendship. Personally, I believe in second chances, no matter how coldhearted someone acts toward me, I cant help myself but give them another chance is they make the first move. So, if your not so sure about the situation, and you know what bad/good things could be in store, take the chance. Hope I helped?
