about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.

I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

advice

I have a Razr v3 and T-Mobile. This morning, it accidentally ran through the wash and it doesn't work anymore. The little circle that shows if it has water damage is red. Will T-Mobile let me get it replaced for a new Razr v3?

If it's still under the warranty, and you have insurance on your phone, then chances are they will give you a new phone. If not, you might have to buy a new one. But since I'm not a worker for TMobile [or any type of company at that since I'm jobless], I couldn't tell you for sure. You would need to take that up with a TMobile employee. Preferably one who works at the store you bought it from.

my friend gave me his ps2 that i know worked at his house but wen i hooked it up on my tv for every disk i put it kept saying disk read error... and i tried like 10 disks... can anyone tell me whats wrong with the ps2 or how i could fix it

It could be a dirty disc, try to clean it. If you clean it well & it says the same thing, it could be the PS2 and it's a good idea to get it checked out at a game store.

Well since it is soon going to be summer, i'm going to start wearing bathing suits. I already have a workout routine, but I need to know some good exercises for my butt, and thighs. I'm skinny in all other areas, but it's just my butt is like kinda big. This is kind of gross to explain but it kind of overlaps the top of my thighs. My thighs aren't THAT BIG, but I want to tone those up a little too. What are some good excersises for these areas and how many should I do? Also should I hold weights?

I usually just walk up hills in tight jeans.

remember when melissa r cries in the "next pussycat dolls" show? why did s=he cry? please i wanna know!

She was thinking about her grandmother.

I lost a few eyelashes, and they're really short.. is there any way i could do my make up to make is less noticable?

Buy a mascara that lengthens then & makes you look like you've got more than what you do. =)

How long does it take for eyelashes to grow back?

But as a guess, I'd say about a month if not 2 or less.

i'm going to a bat mitzvah after-party and i need to know what to wear(ASAP!):

so far, i am going to wear a shirt that is a halter top. It is brown with white flowers on it and it is long(its a little bit higher than the middle of my thigh)

i dont know what pants/shorts/etc. what to wear under it...

advice please?
thank youuu

This is a sort of formal thing, so it's best you don't wear a halter, but if that's all you have, then wear it with some nice jeans. As for shoes, try some wedges or flats.

so iv had the same sn for a long time and i need help thinking of a new one. i want it to start out like "color me ____" but if you can come up with something totally different thats okay :]
so i need a really cute fill in the blank.

i guess i should tell you a little about myself :]

the names jessica [jess for short] f/14
im all around a happy person,
im pretty high maitenence.
im a blonde. and have plenty of moments.

green eyed jess.

I'm a 17/f. I know it's normal to have a small difference in breast size, which I've had since I can remember. I also know breast pain or discomfort is normal at my age, but is it normal during adolescence for one breast to hurt more than the other?

My right breast (which is the larger one) is the one I've noticed hurting the most. They're both tender at times, but sometimes it's just my right side. I don't have any nipple discoloration or discharge, so it doesn't seem like a big deal, but I was just wondering if anyone was in the same type of situation.

It's normal, but if you're worried, then it's best you see a doctor.

My parents used to get into serious fights long time ago but they stopped and now they're back. I'm the oldest out of my 2 younger siblings and they're really young. We're not aloud to go outside. What can we do?

I know how you feel. You can't stop them from fighting though, so don't try to. Just stay in your room until things calm down.

does anyone know of any other gothic or punk clothing stores. i already know about hot topic. any other ones?

Try thrift stores, Spencer's or Gadzooks.

Hey guys...ok sorry but this is one of the long stories so thanks in advance if you're going to read this.. and give advice =) anyways

I've been so pissed lately at a lot of things! First i'm pissed at this guy who asked me out for dinner and told me not to make any plans on the day...and he said he'd call me to tell me what time but he never called...and i talked to him before the day by like a couple of days and he never said anything about the dinner! so its either he forgot or doesnt wanna hang out with me anymore :S ??

Second i've been pissed at my friends lately...not just one or two but most of them! And none of them really know...well kinda! im only gonna mentions a couple of them and save the rest for another question...because then it'll be too long..

OK ive known this girl since grade 5!! and i moved to another skool after that year and then we re-united after a couple of years and started hanging out again!! me and her are really close!! with this other girl too...we've always talked to each other about anything and we were like sisters...anyways so you can say that ive known her for like 8 years now...

so the problem is that ive been trying sooo hard to hang out with her or even TALK to her for the past half year!! and everytime she says she cant and has a different excuse...either shes too busy studying...or too busy with her skool friends...or is grounded...or has a family visit!! im soo sick of it and when i wanna open the subject to tell her that im annoyed and i miss her i wanna hang out and everything...shes like i knoww! even though it doesnt seem like it but i miss you its just im tooo busy with skool stuff!! and shes never called and never even talks to me online!! its like she completely erased me from her world!! (Same with the other girl btw)

Ok now another friend that ive been with for 7 years! we've been best friends since! and like we always hang out and everything and i depend on her but she doesnt know about the other 2 girls...im the type who doesnt express my feelings alot..if im pissed then im pissed i dont share it with anyone..i feel like im pyling on other people problems so anyways the problem is these last few weeks ive been feeling like shes avoiding me....and hiding a lot of things from me...she knows i know them... yet she doesnt tell me :( like i always find out! easliy...but i mean i always wanna be there for her if she ever needs me but the problem is its hard to get her to open up...

Ok another friend problem.... i dunno y but maybe theres something wrong with me...thats y i have problems:S or maybe im too 'paranoid' or watevre....anyways so this friend of mine!! WE ALWAYS HANG OUT!! and shes older than me by like a year...but she went to another skool a couple of yrs ago...anyways we just completely drifted apart! i try to talk to her and hang out but i dunno :( its like she doesn't want to...agh i dunno maybe i am too paranoid ! anyways ill keep it to here for now! the rest will be on later! im gna take a break from complaining! heh thanks a lot guys!! any advice would be appreciated... :D

You need to make new friends. If your friends aren't comfortable to come to you when they have problems & whatnot, then you need to drop them & find some who will. And they avoid you or make excuses. Why still be friends with them?

As for the guy, he probably forgot. Just talk to him about it & set a new day/time.

Im 13/F. Ive been wearing a size 32 AA bra for a long time now. Im getting my grad dress soon so I decided to measure if I needed a new bra. My measurements (according to various bra fitting websites) mean I am supposed to wear a size 32 B bra. I have one now but it feels acward and in my opinion looks weird. I am used to having my boobs squished against my chest and now they dont fill up my bra completely. Am I using the wrong size or do you think its just me having to get used to it?

Try an A if a B doesn't fit well enough. Bras are tricky & can be annoying. But eventually you'll fit into a B, so no worries.

I'm female and 13 years old and I have a really bad masterbation problem. Its like it completely controls my mind and I just CAN'T stop thinking about it. I'm becoming really distant with friends and family because all I want to do is be alone so I can pleasure myself. As of a couple months ago I started skipping classes just so I could lock myself in the bathroom and masterbate. What really bothers me is that my boyfriend of 17 months now wants to finger me but I say no. but its not because I think I'm too young. Its because I want to be in control. Seriously, I need help and I dont know what to do !

Masturbation is a good, healthy thing, but at the extent which you do it, it's not.

You might wanna talk to someone about this because it's taking control of your life & making you miss out in daily things.

boys are cheats and liars
they're such a big disgrace
they will tell you anything just to get to second baseball baseball he think he is gonna score....... can someone finish for me please and thank you. :)

Why are you whining about guys here?

Get a livejournal and put it there. Nobody here cares about your thoughts on guys.

i need help. my best friend just told me that she is bilemic and has been for almost a year and that she has been getting help and is doing much better, but really bothered me that she felt like she couldn't trust me enough to tell me before she told the guy she was dating at the time and other people that she doesn't really consider close friends. what should i do...should i just forget about it and just let her know i'll be there for her or should i ask her why she felt like she couldnt tell me??

Ask her why she couldn't tell you. You're her best friend, and she should be able to tell you anything. Just like you can tell her anything when there's something wrong.

See what she has to say & then make it very clear to her that you'll always be there when she needs you & that she can trust you with her life and her problems.

im 15 and i need a parent to go with me to get my cartilidge pierced but she cant cause shes sick but she wrote a note giving me permission then signed it..do you need anything else other than an signature like a liscense or lisence number? thank you soo much for answering!

I doubt it. If she's sick, wait until she feels better. It's just a piercing, and it's not important. It can wait.

i need to get a french manicure and french pedicure for prom. does anyone know how much each of these usually costs on average?

I think they're about 20-30 bucks each. Some places give students a discount, so make sure to bring your school ID just in case. =)

I have been a cheerleader about all of my life. About three years ago I just started shaving my vagina. I dont shave the whole area. I dont shave the part closest to my stomach. [i hope you get what i am saying] So for cheerleading i have to wear bloomers. They are tight and rub aagainst my skin. After i shave [no matter if i use shave gel or not] I still get those bumps. i cant remember what they are called. But they look and feel just like herpes but it has something to do with the hair that i shave. I have the med. for it but it gets aggervateing to have to use it every time i shave. Since summer is comeing up i really want to be able to shave and make it look nice with out all of the pain.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME ANY IDEAS ON HOW I CAN KEEP THESE FROM COMING UP WHEN I SHAVE!

thanks-

I use a bar of soap & my bodywash when I shave to prevent razor burn. Try conditioner, that could work too. And when you're out of the shower, rub some lotion on so it'll be smooth & moisturized.

hey.

when you write a name of a roller coaster in a formal
paper, how would you correctly punctuate it?

example: for a book, one italicizes or underlines the title. for a song, one puts it in quotes.

thank youu.

You would need to capitalize the first letter of each word. And books are supposed to be underlined since they're not a short story or a song. Songs/short stories are to be in quotes.
