I want to workout my legs. i have no idea how though. im not even sure how to do squats right. pleez help! ( i also want ot kno a website that tells you if u are underweight/overweight... i used to have it but i lost it)

Hey, here's a website that has a few leg exercises and how to do each of them: http://www.musclebuildinginfo.com/leg-exercises.htm. It would be hard explaining each exercise so just go to that website. To see if you're underweight or overweight, go to this website: http://www.am-i-fat.com. Hope I helped :)

Does anybody know what to do about pores? I have pores that show all over my face. If you know what to do, advice would be nice. Thanks.

Try putting a hot face cloth over your face and that will help reduce your pores. Getting your face steamed also helps too! You should go to a dermatologist so you can receive more help! Hope I helped :)

i have huge pores on my nose and you can see the indents slighty of the pores and dirt gets out sometimes buthow doyou get ride ofthe size of the PORES, not the dirt?

You need to try using a product that reduces the size of your pores. I use one from Estee Lauder but that is expensive. Putting a hot face cloth over your nose will help too! Hope I helped :)

How can I rate someone? Please help me.

When someone answers your question, under their answer, it should say "Rate this Person" with the numbers 1-5. A 1 is bad and a 5 is the best. Hope I helped :)

I'm 16/f, and I have 3 friends who always do stuff withought me. I feel like i'm never included in anything they do. And I always feel like they're talking about me at theyre little get togethers. I'm always sitting at home while they're out having fun and they don't even bother to call me. I also think they're parents hate me as well, which sucks even more. My question is, what should I do when they DO call me and what should I tell them?

You should definitely talk to them and tell them how you feel. It sucks, knowing that they don't want you included in anything they do. Invite them over one day and talk to them that way. When they do call you, just be like "Why don't we hang around that much anymore?" Say something like that! Hope I helped :)

My best friend *OK* who means the world to me, got into a fight with her other best friend *ME*, who happens to be just a friend with me. Well *KO* slept over my house last night, and after telling me about the fight I knew she was upset. So I went onto my screenname and cursed out *ME* because what she did was completely wrong. So now *OK* and *ME* made up, but *ME* is still mad at me! I already apologized, what else should I do?

Aww, don't worry, *ME* will eventually forgive you when she wants to. Why don't you ask *OK* to talk to *ME*, since she is friends with her? You can apologize again but that probably won't work, since you've tried that. Maybe you can call her or write her a letter, explaining that you didn't mean to curse her out. Hope I helped :)

In the Sims 2, one of my families has a teenage daughter and her asipiration is knowladge. One of her "wants" is to go to a private school. I've filled all of her other wants but she still wants to go to a private school. How do I get her to go to a private school? I can't seem to find out anywhere! Thanks if you can help.

Hey, I've never played The Sims or The Sims 2 before but I went to The Sims 2 homepage and I found this thread, explaining how to get your kid into a private school. Here's the link: http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?threadID=2353ff1a81f1382b4af5e387c85bfeb2&directoryID=25. You could always just go to the "Tips and Tricks Section" afterwards if you can't find it! Hope I helped :)

ok tomorro night my dad and i are going out for a steak dinner and maybe some shopping. My friend tutored me for free a few times, which was really nice of her. My mom suggested me taking her tomorro.. my dad said he didnt mind even though he did mention he'd rather it be just the two of us. What should i choose to do?

If you father mentioned that he wanted only you and him to go out with him, then you should just go out with him by yourself, without your friend. Even though your mother suggested taking her, there is always another time to do that. Just make your dad happy and just go out with him, without your friend. Hope I helped :)

I received a Mini-Ipod for Christmas. The instructions read that you need Windows 2000 or higher. Only problem is: I have Windows 98. So does this mean I have to upgrade my computer to Windows 2000 or higher? If yes, is it expensive to buy the program? Or do I have to buy a whole new computer for it to work? Please only answer this question if you know what you're talking about. Thank you so much!

Nope, you don't need a whole new computer. Upgrading your computer to Windows 2000 or higher is just like installing a game to your computer. It's a CD and you can buy it at Circuit City, Best Buy, and places like that. I don't know exactly how much it costs but I do know that Windows XP costs at least $100.00 (It costs $100.00 at Target so that's how I know) so it should be around that price. Hope I helped :)

I asked my mom if I could get my belly button pierced and she said yes, but when we were trying to figure out where to go one of her friends said that you can get herpes from it and all this stuff like that and getting infected. So now my mom doesn't want me to anymore cause she doesn't want to be responsible for me getting some really bad infection or something like herpes. what can i do?

What the? You can't get herpes from a belly button piercing! I've had my belly button pierced since the summer and it never got infected! Your mother's friend is lying so your mom won't let you get it pierced. Yes, it can get infected but you just have to treat it. Just tell your mom that what her friend said wasn't true and that you can't get herpes from it! Wow. Hope I helped :)

My friend and I experimented with each other. Were both 13 and are both girls also. We kissed, french kissed, nibbled and felt on each other, but nothing "below the belt." I would just like to know does that mean were lovers if we don't have boyfriends? We never had sex before and we experimented, but not "below the belt." Does that mean were not virgins anymore? Help!!

You're still a virgin if you did nothing "below the belt." Hope I helped :)

I'm inviting 4 of my best friends over for a small group gathering party. We're going to the movies, which'll take up like 4 hours.. But do you guys have anymore ideas.. Thanks XO

You can go out to dinner and then to the movies. You can bring them back to your house or someone else's house to hang and talk. You can go to the mall and go shopping! There are so many other ideas, just think! Hope I helped :)
