15/f. ever since I was about 2 years old, I had the horrible habit of sucking on my lower lip. It just used to go automatically in my mouth...and I would suck on it until my dad or mom told me to stop. Now, as I'm turning 16 soon, I still do it. It's like..uncontrollable. Well, now I have a problem. As I check myself in the mirror, I notice a white spot on my lip..( on the the inside of my mouth ) my mom told me it's like a ...like the opposite of a blood clot, I guess...and that that part of my lip could fall off. Is there any way to get rid of this habit and to save my lip? lol
Thanks..
Well, I imagine your lip must be quite chapped. Why not buy some chapstick, in your least favorite flavor, and wear that. It will keep you from sucking on your lip and moisturize it at the same time.
As for your lip falling off, that sound very serious. Avoid touching that spot with your tongue. If that is uncontrollable, just clench your teeth, so your tongue won't get to it. I'm sure if you leave that area alone it will heal up, but if if doesn't, definetly see a doctor.
i just got braces and my question isss..can i french kiss my boyfriend with them?! tips would be appreciated haha.
thx :)
Yes, you can still kiss your boyfriend. Just make sure you don't press your teeth against his lips by accident becuase you might cut him. Just warn him about your braces in general, so he won't be surprised. But the chances of anything bad happening are very slim, unless he wears braces, too. If he does, then just make sure the braces don't touch each other because you might get caught. It happened to my friend once and she and her boyfriend had to get unstuck by his dad. Amazingly they are still going out.
But I don't want to scare you or anything. Just don't worry about it, after the first kiss you'll be a lot more comfortable kissing with braces.
how does a casino make money? because all they are doing is hosting a place people play right? is like people pay upon entry? thanks a lot
No, in most casinos you don't pay upon entry. Some casinos have hotels (for example the first five floors are the gambling places, and the next fifty are hotel rooms for the gamblers). Also, those quarters that everyone throws into the machines so that they can play? Well, all those quarters go to the casino, or the the people that win something, which hardly ever happens.

i'm leaving for vacation in a couple hours, so anyone who can answer, i'd really appreciate it.
but, i just got my period today and we're going to the beach so.. i was just wondering.. whenever i put a tampon in, it feels like it's going to fall out. is it even possible for it to fall out?
thankss.
A dry tampon won't fall out. If it one that has absorbed everything to its limit then yes it can start to slip out. Try getting the next size tampons, change them frequently if you are very heavy. If you feel like its slipping out, squeeze your butt muscles (it'll help keep the tampon in place) and run to the nearest bathroom.
Okay so I've read that the guy MUST wear a condom while receiving a blow job... WHY??
aRnt condoms to prevent pregnancy??
f\15
Condoms are used to prevent pregnancy AND STD's. Also they are often used during blowjobs if the girl (or guy) doesn't want to swallow the ejaculate, but the guys still wants the pleasure of coming into the girl's mouth. (So they don't have to take it out). It is also a lot easier to clean up.
is tyra completely black? why is her skin color so light?
She did NOT have her skin lightened. She was just naturally born that way. Everybody's skin looks a lot lighter on a good quality, professional camera, and also on her talk show because the studio is very well lit. If you look at her childhood pictures you will see her skin is just as light as it is now.
And yes, she is black, both her parents were black, and so were her grandparents. (I don't know anything about her great grandparents, I don't think anyone does except her close relatives.)
could having side bangs ruin your eyes?? like if the side bangs covered one eye partially could you like become partially crosseyed in one eye and the other one is fine?
Well, if the hair rubs up against the eye it could potentially cause ulcers on the surface of the eye. Or you could become nearsited through that eye. I don't see how you will become cross-eyed though.
ppl say its awesome but idk how to do it?
like how do u masterbate???

what do birds smell like?
LOL!! Best question ever.
It depends what you're talking about. If you mean how the bird itself smells like (when it is clean), it smells a little bit like chalk. Just smell a feather and you'll know what I mean.
If it is a sea bird, then it will smell like fish and salt water, or if its a river or pond bird, it'll smell like pond water and algae. But in order to smell a bird, you will actually have to touch your nose to the feathers in order to smell anything.
If you are talking about their poop, it smells really bad. It has a very sharp, pungent aroma to it. It's really hard to explain. Birds that eat fish, like gulls or pelicans for example, will have a fishy tinge to it. Scavengers, like vultures, are the smelliest.
Aahh, what knowledge four years at the Bird Rescue Center teaches you.
i was recently on the plane, im not sure if that is anything to do with it. but my right ear seems clogged. i cant pop it or anything, it kinda hurts too. Is it like an ear rupture or ear infection or something? what should i do? It hurts, and i went swimming today but i didnt go under because of my ear. but i was in hollywood i was swimming for like 10 days. but my ear didnt start to hurt untill the other day.. when i got back kinda. And i can hear out of it, but not as clear as my left. and i can like hear myself breath. sorry if this is confusing. i just really need help.
Yup, airplanes do that to you, its because of the high elevation. There's really nothing you can do but wait until it goes away.
I don't know if you tried this, but in order to get your ear to "pop" (and thus unclog) is to take a breath, plug your nose, close your mouth and blow, trying to pop your ears and sort of swallowing at the same time. Do that a couple of times once in a while, and your ear should unclog. If it has been going on for a long time though, I would definetly see a doctor.
Okay.. Im not having a baby and im not planning on having one im just wondering who belives in abortion. I've asked and people have said it *depend* well then what makes it right and what makes it murder? Like if you were raped.. or something in general **forced** in my opinion makes abortion look like a way out which should be tooken. But if the girl runs around fucking anything and just doesn't want a baby that makes it wrongg...
So im just wondering what your opinion is on it.
I believe that abortion is the right thing to do only under these circumstances:
1) The mother cannot have the child due to health issues:
a. It is 100% positive that she will pass on some disease or genetic mutation that will be very detrimental to the child causing it to die or be unhappy
b. The mother will die during pregnancy, for example she has a tube fetus (I forgot what they're called, but it's when the fetus starts to develop in the ovarian tubes instead of in the uterus)
2) She got pregnant at a very young age:
a. Her body cannot sustain herself and the baby
b. She cannot continue her studies (school) while pregnant, but this only is a valid reason if she was raped.
In my opinion you have to have a very good reason to get an abortion. If someone can't raise a child adoption is always an option.
What is the fastest way of getting rid of a pimple, like within 3 days, or atleast the redness. Dont say proactive or something like that, becuase i need to start tonight and that doesnt come fast sinse its mail order. Anyways any suggestions are appriciated
If its a whitehead, put a hot, wet washcloth on the pimple for a few minutes, then take two q-tips and squeeze it. Don't use your finger nails to pop the pimple because that will irritate the area even more. Stop squeezing when blood comes out. Then wash your face and what is left of the pimple, being careful not to press on it. The idea is to flush it out. Pat your face dry (be gentle when drying your pimple, don't press!!). Put some Neosporine on it until it heals.
what is college really like?
how is it different from high school? i remember wondering how high school was different from middle school and its more free, i guess. people dont hang out in cliques as much and stuff.
Well, I'm 16, but I have taken quite a few classes at my local junior community college (junior college only goes up to bachelor degree).
First of all, people are sooo nice. The atmosphere is completely different because almost all the people are there by their own choice, unlike high school where things can get pretty negative because you are forced to go to high school. People usually leave you alone (although you will be approached a lot by guys trying to sell you a cd that their band made.)
The classes usually start out full, but by the end of the semester some of the people drop the class (that's another nice thing about college, you can quit the class you taking, or change teachers).
There are also pretty much no cliques, because by then people are mature enough to realize that cliques are stupid.
Most classes that you will take will be much harder and much more detailed than the ones in high school, but most people manage it.
Also, depending how many classes you're taking, and what time they start, you might not even have to wake up early in the morning! (Although most people do anyways for last minute studying for tests). And it is almost garuanteed that you will have a few hours between classes. But seriously though, you have to study like crazy.
Sorry I can't tell you much about dorm life, except that dorm rooms are very small, usually ugly. There's also a lot of partying. That's all I know... =/
is the regular birdseed sold at stores bad for birds? i was told they make birds fat
(budgies)
Well, Budgies are exotics, and the kind of seed that the store sells is for backyard birds, such as finches, jays, etc. I would go to a pet store and look for seed made especially for Budgies and Parakeets.
Also, remember to give your Budgie(s) a little bit of fruit, veggies (like carrots) and greens everyday.
Do you think i have a singing talent?
http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t202/SRH6306/?action=view¤t=945c57e3.flv
You're on the way. With voice lessons I think you will become a great singer some day. Good luck!
And keep in mind most great singers took voice lessons.
lately, one of my friend were getting bullied, and i stood up to the bullie.. and now shes threating me and everythink! and the problem is shes really popular!!
I think what you meant to say was this:
"Bullying
Lately, one of my friends is being bullied, so I stood up to the bully... and now she (my friend/ the bully) is threatening me and everything! And the problem is that she is very popular!"
It depends who is threatening you, your friend, or the bully. If it is your friend, she is not a very good one for not feeling grateful that you stood up for her. I would politely stop talking to her.
If it is the bully that is threatening you, there are several things you could do, depending how she is threatening you. If she is saying things that you believe she will act on, I would tell an adult immediately. If you believe she is bluffing, then ignore her.
I don't know why, but I'm hungry ALL THE TIME!!! I hate it. I snack all the time, mostly on things like cheese and crackers, fruit, vegies....but no matter what i do, nothing makes me feel full...and i'll end up eating something bad for me, like some sort of cookies when i can't find anything healthy left to eat. When i eat a giant meal, of course i get full. But about 30 minutes later i feel like i could eat another meal. it's so crazy, and i feel like i've gained weight because of it. What can i do to stop being hungry so much??
Hmmm... your body could be telling you that you need a certain vitamin or mineral that you are lacking in your diet. Are you eating right? You didn't say anything about meat, and if you are a vegetarian, you really need to watch carefully what you eat because meat is supposed to make up a large part of our diet, and if you cut it out completely, you will need to eat supplements instead to make up for the lack of meat.
If you are very active, then it is okay to crave food so much, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
But honestly, this seems to be a little too extreme to be any one of these reasons. I would go see a doctor, especially if you just started feeling this way all of a sudden. (in the past month, for example). If this has been going on for as long as you can remember, try changing your diet around a little bit. Because we tend to eat the same (types of) food everyday (more or less), it is important to change your diet around once in a while.
if i made a dildo out of clay(im underage, crafty and horny), so if i made one out of clay would that be safe to use?
NO. That will be extremely unsafe. It will first of all cause abraisions in your vagina because I'm guessing is not very smooth. Also it will dissolve a little, and might cause an infection. Try using a cucumber, or hair brushes, etc.
Well, I'm 14/f and I have these purple...bags, i guess you could call them, under my eyes. They're not like PURPLE PURPLE. they're like...not even purple. They're really annoying, and whenever i take a picture, that area under my eyes comes out dark & unattractive. Does anyone know what these are, and how i can fix them? thanks in advcancee =)
I get them when I rub, or sometimes even touch, the area under my eyes. Avoid rubbing that area, it will cause it to bruise because the skin there is so sensitive. So when you are drying your face, pat that area dry (that also goes to the rest of your body).
In pictures, make sure that the place the picture is being taken is bright, and never use flash! If you are indoors, it should be a little bit dark.
So I inherited the lovely gene of oily skin from my dad and with it being summer its gotten even worse. There hasn't been a morning where there isn't a swimming pool of oil on my face. I read in Allure magazine that there are lotions and such you can put on your face to prevent lots of oil coming out of your skin. I don't recall it giving any product names so I was hoping you guys can recommend some good anti-oil face washes and/or cremes that work well for really oily skin.
Thanks!
I've read somewhere that the reason skin produces oil is to keep skin hydrated: it's like a moisturizer. The reason some people's skin is oily is because it is dry, and their skin secretes the oil to try and hydrate it.
How to prevent it? Try using a facial moisturizer, preferably unscented, everyday, especially after you wash your face. That way you're using facial moisturizers that won't make your skin looking greasy, instead of having all those oils on your skin.
If it doesn't go away in a week, definitely go to the dermatologist.
