I have straight hair already, but it is pretty static and VERY flyawayish...and its kinda bushy sometimes...what is the best hair straightener out there? I've heard ceramic hair straighterners are good??

A CHI is a great straightener but they are pricey! I got my flat iron for $150 at Sally's Beauty Supplies! Hope I helped :)

Yup, it's alright for kids around the age of 15 to be dieting! I've dieted before and I was 13 years old! The South Beach diet is really great! You can buy a book about it and it'll tell you how about it! Hope I helped :)

which day/days of your cycle are you LEAST likely to get pregnant? which day/days of your cycle are you MOST likely to get pregnant, and how do you tell? be specific, dont just say "your period." and dont tell me not to have sex or use protection cause that's not what i asked. thanks!

Well, every girl is different and they each have different cycles, but right after you have your period, that's when you are most likely to get pregnant! Also, at least a week before your period is when you are least likely to get pregnant I think? It's different for everyone. Hope I helped :)

Okay well right now i do have a boy friend who loves me very much. When we first started going out i was really going for it i really liked him, but it's been a while, and before i started going out with him i was in love with this other guy. And i am more in love with him than i have ever been. And to come to conclusion he is in love with me also. We've both been hiding our feelings becuase A) my boyfriend and B) we do concider each other best friends and don't want to ruin out great friendship. So what should i do with my boy friend? It is going to be so hard for me to break it to him. please help me.

I think you should break of the relationship with him and start one with this guy that you love and who loves you. You're in a tough situation because as you said before, if you do start dating your best friend, it may ruin your friendship with him! Talk to this guy! Ask him if it would ruin your friendship! As for your boyfriend, I don't know how you would break it to him but just think! Hope I helped :)

I'm a moderately happy person. I'm in love, I have really supportive friends, and I have great artistic outlets for my emotions, but for some reason I keep having these reoccurring thoughts of suicide. Every time I sit by my window I think of diving headfirst into the driveway three stories below. I don't know what to think of it. Is this normal?

Yup, this is normal! It sounds to me that you have a great life! Try not thinking of suicide! Spend some time with your loved ones! Maybe you can go talk to someone like a councelor? A lot of people think about suicide! Hope I helped :)
