about

My name is Devin Lindsey or Vinny as my sister calls me! I am 17 years old and go to Bethel Park High school. I loooove swimming along with dancing, singing, and playing softball. I also run varsity track with is alright i supose too.


My favorite colors are orange, pink, and blue. I love to be crazy and have a good time

I've had a job working for 15+ monthes so I can answer alot about that

and I know alot about relationships in general so I can be helpful with that sometimes

especially with parent child relationships


I am a very observant person and tend to know more and care about more than most my age


and I really believe in volunteering to help animals especially at shelters. Usually its not their fault that they have to live their and its usually horrible cercimstances that bring them there and I feel terrible that they can't speak for themselves and people are too caught up in spending like $500 on this cute little pure breed puppy from a breeder just into getting rich instead of giving one of these dogs another chance at life (there are usually a handful of dogs under a year old so the i want a puppy excuse doesn't work with me)

My baby is named Lainey Mae... we got her from a shelter about 2 hours away from us when she was 7 weeks old. she is now 2 years old and the center of our family. unfortunately someone was cruel enough to go down and drug up and shoot (but luckly not kill) most of the dogs plus rob the owner (just like someone did at the shelter where I volunteer) and its now shut down

advice

Hello; I'm 14 and I have no money.
I need a job since my parents don't provide me with enough money to get food when I am out.

I need to know what kinds of jobs besides baby sitting I can get at 14.

My friend is 14 and just got a job at McDonalds

also you can mow lawns, garden and get peoples mail while they are on vacation

or maybe pack food instead of always buy it? thats what i do because i never get money from my parents ever for anything

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

yes that is totally normal. my mom didn't get hers until she was 16 so she was going into 11th grade!

i didn't get mine till the end of 7th grade and same with my sister. I have a friend who is my age and still hasn't gotten hers. As long as you have it before you graduate highschool everything is perfectly fine!

i'm 5'8 and 112 pounds maybe? how fast can i lose around 10-15 pounds and how? what are some things i can do?

You shouldn't be losing weight at all. That is extremely dangerous considering i am exactly your weight if not more and my doctor said i was perfect in my heigh percentile and i am only 5'1"


if you already eat healthy don't try any harder to loose weight! it could really damage your body

When I shave my vagina, it is pokey even right after i shave, like how my legs get the next morning or so. It is also very itchy down there after that. How do I help this or prevent it?

it prevent itch and razor burn i use conditioner instead of shaving cream because it moisturizes and ha worked very well for me

i went to the am i fat site thing and it said my bmi was 17 how can i get it down lower? to like... 15 or 14?

Don't lower it! 20 is the healthy number and even 17 is low. And besides you can't trust that!

IF you are concerned see a doctor. they can give you a much acurate BMI

Hey,
Im 15 years old, female, 5'3, and weigh 87 pounds All theese B.M.I things say i am dangerously underweight...even though i have a very small body frame, im also a late bloomer (I havent had my period) I go to the doctor regularly and they never said i was underweight...i dont feel like im too thin. Should i be worried? Does not having your period and being a late bloomer have an affect on ideal weight?

Thank you.

Most people don't get their period until they are between 100 and 110 pounds. I am not exactly sure of the reason, Maybe because your body feels like it can loose blood at the point because it has more weight to keep you nurished? who knows

I wouldn't worry about your weight. it will back on soon enough. my sister went from being your height and redicuoulsy skinny to the point she was being teased and in the matter of a year she has grown and inch gained about 30-40 pounds and fulled out and developed and yet still looks really skinny. I think all this game right as she started having her period and she starting having her period right after she turned 13.


So don't worry! just don't watch what you eat. splurge while you can!

I'm really bored. I wonder why other people aren't as bored as me. Please tell me everything you did for one day to week.

Also try going out to a pool ot swim or tan!

are chi straightners good? like really good? i'm trying to find a new straightner for this school year. i'm free for experimenting but i have to use my own money so i want some backround information before i buy it. and what's the average cost?

oh, and if there are better straightners that are like out-of-this-world (and under 40 dollars please), i'd like to hear about them too. so far i used conair and remington but they're not working as well as i was looking for.

thanks a bunch!

I use a helen of troy it was $25 and i loveee it.it works really well. Just after a while your hair seems to adjust to it but i guess most straighters are like that

yeah conair sucks to buy them

ok, so my BFF eversince kindergarden is VERY popular at her public school.But then in 5th grade i went to a different school and we never really saw eachother but we did keep in touch. I went to a privae school, but now i'm going to her school. I wasent very hugely popular at my other school, buut i had connenctions. So next year is my JR. Year. And i really love my BFF. butt we were hanging out yesterday, aand she was telling me who i have to be, like for ex. "You have to wear a jersy for homecomming"

I mean i am friends with them, but how do i tell her that i am who i am with out her getting the wrong image that i'm not like her. Because were are almost identical in EVERY way.

She is just trying to help you out. Like wearing a jersey on homecoming basically means that the boy who gave you the jersey likes you. She doesn't mean any harm. Like that is a big deal to get a jersey or even just to wear one for school pride, because there are big differences between private schools and public schools and she wants you to have her friends and be accepted. Just listen to what she has to say and if you don't like it don't do it.

She really only wants what is best for you

ok so my little brother is 9 years old and he always wants me to play with him. he doesnt understand that im older and have things to do. whenever i try to explain this to him, he gets upset and thinks i dont want to play with him so i feel really guilty. how can i explain to him that im busy a lot and dont really have that much time to play with him?

btw 15/f

I would just be straight up with him. Let him know you love him but you are getting older and have other things to do. If he feels bad maybe if you ever babysit him allow him to have a friend over. one that is trust worthy so you can do your thing and they can do theirs. He wants you to feel guilty so you play with him and he is going to continue to do it. I would ignore him until he understands. Maybe you can try getting him a new video game or something too so that he isn't bored? Just make sure you don't ditch him all together

40s - f - uk.
I've recently been diagnosed with COPD which is Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. I also have unstable asthma. Due to this I have to take steroids quite often which makes me put on weight. The extra weight is not good as it puts more strain on my lungs. I am trying to be careful with what I eat. I'm not fat as such, but definitely under height for my weight!
I find it very difficult to exercise, walk far etc, due to the lung disease, but I need some form of exercise to try to keep the COPD at bay as long as possible.
Also, due in part to the steroids I have early onset osteoporosis, so exercise would be good for that as well. Doctors have not really been much help. Any suggestions please?

What about something like yoga? It puts little strain on the body and focuses on breathing. Also it is supose to speed up your matabolism

ok so im 16 almost 17. I have had my period since i was 11. Its not very regular. is this normal? and is there any way you can make you period regular with out birth control?

I would say its not and to go to a doctor. you could have something seriously wrong and endanger your chances of having chidren. There are meds they can give you other than birthcontrol yes but they are not usually as effective

Has anyone ever purchased anything thing from Oriental Trading Company? I'd like to buy some party supplies from them, but I'm always weary of online buying. Are they a safe site to order from? They have a Hacker check.

I think they are wonderful! not only is it cheap but if anything is defective they give you your money back with no questions asked! my mother and i always order craft stuff from there for every occasion!

13/f going into 8th grade.

Ok, I'm not that rich. My mom and dad have been working extra jobs just so I can go school shopping in lexington. They said that I will have about $400.00 by the time we go. I was just wondering where abercrombie and hollister are located in lexington. And I was also wondering how many jeans and shirts I can get for this amout of money. Thankyou much in advance.

I rate answers.

I would say most jeans at abercrombie are $100 and shirts are anywhere from $10-$40 for the most part. Acually if i were you i would go to hollister and get their jeans. they are owned by abercrombie so you will get the same quality but for the most part they are all under $75 (most are about $40 and personally i like their fit better. I want to guess lexington is in KY so here is the location for there
FAYETTE
3563 Nicholasville Road
Lexington, KY 40503
859-272-2498


and here is a location for hollister

Fayette
3401 Nicholsaville Road
Lexington, KY 40503
859-971-1407

Tomorrow I'm dying my hair for the first time. I am soooo nervous because everybody knows me as the girl who has the pretty, long, hair. I felt I had to do a major change in my life so this is what I chose. I'm cutting my hair way shorter and then going to like a local drug store, and buying dye and then I'm coming home and dying it! I want to know if this is a good decision or not. Like half my friends are like go for it! and then the other half are like... please don't do it! I personally felt I needed to do this for myself. I want to go for a natural look and stick to the similar color but I want people to be able to notice I dyed it and it's a BIG change. Is this right, or should I not do it? By the way I'm 14/f.

If you are questioning yourself try a temp. dye. they usually last for a week max and you can try out a color before you dye it permadently. also the stuff from drug stores tends to fade fast. so if you hate it you wont have to worry

if i exsersize and dont eat for 12 hours will i lose weight and should i drink water

Starving yourself is bad! in the long run you won't loose weight. You will gain because your body with adapt. What i would do is have a healthy breakfast like oatmeal or cherios. A light snack like a piece of fruit for lunch. then i nice healthy dinner like boneless skinless chicken and a salad. You can eat lightly but don't stop eating at all


and drink lots of water!

Ok I'm the kinda girl who wears alot of make up but it never seems to last. Like for example my cover up wears off so fast.. like within an hour. And it's hard for me to apply it every hour because I don't wanna like ditch everyone for a bathroom to fix my make-up! So does anyone know of a really good LONG LASTING cover-up! Thanks

I use maybelline. I can put it on in the morning and by the end of the school day it is still perfect!
