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

For a long time, like 4 years, I haven't really brushed my teeth well or at all. Sometimes not even once a day. My teeth are sort of yellow and I just started to brush at least once a day for the past half year.

Would Crest Whitening Strips help that? Or do they just help if your teeth are yellow because of drinking too much coffee/tea? Will it help yellow smoker teeth too?

Also, my mom says that Asian teeth are different? they are usually naturally more yellow? And she says probably no to laser dental whitening too..

what can i do

Crest white strips work wonders. I saw results in a week and trust me i am not a great teeth brush either!

ok i need to know what is the best tampon brand you girls know of. 13/f

I use Tampax. I would say anything is good as long as it has a plastic applicator and they carry it in a slim because they are easier to put in

15/f I am not a very sexually active person and have never gone past 1st base. My question is if while masturbating you break you own hymen are you no longer a virgin? Like if a guy asked you if you were or does it not really count?

it can break your hymen yes

but you are still a virgin

alot of girls break theirs doing gymnastics or horseback riding far before they know it exists.

So until you ingage in any kind of sex you are still a virgin

What is good face wash and moisterizer for combo skin? I need something thats oil free, but is strong enough for my dry skin. Something that wont cause pimples.

Anyone?

Thanks

I use nutragena and i love it. It is for normal to oily skin but they also make it for dry skin etc. It doesn't dry my skin out but it doesn't make it oily either

I also use oxy pads along with it

and of a face moisurizer i use clean and clear oil control and i really like it. The only thing is is that it can make your face a little oilier if you use it when its not needed (like any moisureizer) this is the one i use (the bottle is the same anyways) ~~> http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000052YJM.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg

I heard if you brush your teeth with baking soda, it will somehow whiten your teeth. But my question is, is it toxic if swallowed?

Well most toothpastes contain baking soda. but i wouldn't swallow it.Although it wouldn't be toxic in small doses i would think it could give you a bad stomach ache if not worse. It certainly wouldn't kill you because the use baking soda in food. before you start using it all the time i would only use it once a day and see how you react

but try crest white strips! they really work

Ok so im trying to work things out with my bf. we have been together almost 2 years and i am now pregnant even though i was told i couldnt have kids. We have set a date for marriage but there is a problem. He will not save any money and we are stuck renting a basement apartment at a friends house and im not bringing a baby into a basement. So, i suggested that we move down south with family where we could afford the cost of living. He refuses because all of his friends are here. So since he doesnt want to come with me, should i just leave him and go by myself??? I have no family or friends here and both of our families are down south. I think he is being selfish to want me and our baby to stay in a basement just because of his friends.

i would go without him. if he loved you and the baby enough he would eventually come too. Just before you move i would look at the difference in education. because southern schools are known to be not as good as the ones in the north.. so your child may not have the best home.. but they can get a better education. or maybe you can talk to him maybe moving down south till you can save enough money to move back to where you are now.

just think of your babies future before you think of him

I am going to the doctor Monday, but reading online I think i have anemia

I hate needles. I hate them and im scared that they will need to do blood tests

SOMEONE HELP ME!

EDIT: yOU HAVE TO GO! YOU COULD DIE OTHERWISE! THEN YOU WILL BE ON LIKE IV'S FOR LIFE

when i got tested the drew a tube of blood and that was all besides the normal check your eyes ears throat weight height etc

but don't worry its not that bad

so me and my softball team are going to nationals and we are all staying in this cool hotel. but we only have like one game a day, and are there for a week, what are fun games we can do in the hotel while our parents are gettin drunk.
we are all 16

You can go swimming, Go sighseeing around places around the hotel. I am sure there maybe a pool table there. Play like kickball in a hall way or dodge ball with pillows. maybe if you each have your own room or whatever you can do hide and seek or capture the flag.

Also bring cards and board games and you can have a poker night. like each girl put in 5 bucks for so many chips and the winner at the end gets the pot

good luck with your games
(my team as something similar next week as well)

Where can you buy skinny jeans?

wet seal has 2 pairs online

I never feel like going to school. What can i do in the morning to make me go to school???

I know this sound weird but go running in the morning. it really wakes you up and gives a boost.

Also try hot chocolate and a big breakfast and give yourself plenty of time so you can take your time all morning

Okay, so my period is suppose to come a day before this really big concert I'm going to. I don't know what the hell to do because I won't be able to change my tampon/pad from 12pm to 11pm! I''ll be stuck in a mosh pit and wont wanna lose my spot in the general admission and there are no bathrooms!
HELP!

(pills are not an option)

i Would wear your normal size tampon then the biggest pad you can find.. im sure you will have to go to the bathroom or eat or something atleast once and that time and i would remove you tampon then and you should be fine

Hey,
I'm gunna be a freshman next year, and I need some ideas about what to wear on the first day of school. I guess I wear"preppy" clothes like American Eagle and Abercrombie. But it really doesnt matter to me. But, I'm open for any kind of clothes, and any kind of suggestions. You dont have to give me brands or anything. General would work too. For example"long sleeve shirt and a skirt" or whatever. Thanks sooo much. xoxo
marsbars

I would recommend wearing either long sleeve shirt and a skirt or a short sleeve shirt and jeans

my reasoning-

on the first day of school its always cold and the last thing you want to be worring about is how you feel when you adjusting to new classes and i am guesing a new school.

like last year all of these girls wore mini shirts and short sleeves on the first day and looked so uncomfortable but i just saved my mini skirt for the second day.
here are some outfits i found online that would be cute:

1- this shirt w/a cami: http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_292573_-1_12628_12552

with these pants: http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_276461_-1_12619_12552

2- shirt: http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_287089_-1_12600_12552

pants: http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_278772_-1_12623_12552

3- shirt:http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_279332_-1_12282
pants:http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_277164_-1_12602_12552

i Hope i gave you some good ideas! that was kinda fun

I mainly like the 3 quarter sleeves, with buttons in the front. (like pic number 3, but with longer sleeves) I know you can get them at Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, and Wet Seal. I'm looking for different places, though, does anyone know of any?

I know at my local hollister they had the shorter button down shirt on clearance

then at my work (sears) we carry that print of shirt like on the 3rd one and its about the same but with no buttons (i tried finding it online but it was not listed but i saw it in the store yesterday and its brand new which may be why its not online)

Also at american eagle they sell similar styles but yet again i have only seen them on clearace so they wouldnt be online

I have a biology test tomorrow. So much information will be covered on it. When you study, are you supposed to memorize everything, or are you just supposed to review notes until you're familiar with everything?

well you should just be reviewing them but on some things you really need to memorize.. like there are alot of things with classes and what not that need memorized. you ddint state exactly what you were studing so its hard to tell but you really need to be more than just familiar

Well, I had cancer when I was little. I was 3 and dignoised with Luekiema ((i know i spelled that wrong..) and the type I had was ALL. Very cureable. Well, Lately, I have been throwing up in my mouth, and bruising without hitting myself on anything. It's been happening for maybe 2 weeks? But what is confussing me is the doctor's said I had a 99.9% chance it won't come back. But I'm always at risk to get another kind. WHat I am expeiencing now sounds like the cancer I had. But well, I'm not sure if it's even cancer at all. Can you guys help me, is it cancer? Do I need to see a doctor?

I would see a doctor! you can't wait if it could be cancer.. because the longer you wait the harder it will be to cure

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to diet, and I know water is key. I can usually only drink 2 bottles a day, and I really have to force myself to get it down. (I hate the taste of water..none) Haha, so I was wondering, are there any other drinks I could have that maybe include lots of water but have some taste to them? I've heard unsweeted Iced Tea & Lemonade, Gatorade. I also have these little Koolaid packets I pour into water bottles, and that makes me drink them so fast, & they are only 30 cals! Any other suggestions?

flavored water (my favorite i believe its no cal too)
propel
crystal light
Fruit H2o
vitamin water (i got a free case at the kelly clarkson concert.. i think its ment to give you energy to exersize and still be semi-healthy)

I would skip the koolaid though.. just that word makes me thing sugar.. you sure its not crystal light?

hey im 15/f so my period is really irregular like it will go a few months without showing up. so is this normal n could it affect me having kids?

Yes that is normal but you do have to be careful. If it happens to long like that you may not be able to have kids. I would say if you have had your period for 3 or more years go see a doctor and they can give you meds to make your period regular but if it has been less than that don't worry. Like i have had my period for 3 years and it only comes like 3 times a year and my doctor is gonna put me on birth control because shes has tried otehr stuff and it is just getting worse and it is becoming a serious problem

my left boob is bigger than my right one! is it gonna be like this forever?? i dont like it!!

It depends on your age. No bodies boobs are perfectly semetrical. Chances are they will even themselves out

i am just wondering... do most people shave all down there or just their bakini line? because i am thinking about getting my bakini line done. do they just do right next to where your bakini line ends? does it hurt real bad? is it healthy?

thanks in advance.

I shave the whole thing.. not because I am sexually active or anything i just like to feel clean cut. At first it started with just my bikini line then i slowly starting to work my way in mainly just in case my bikini went up a little then eventually i did the whole thing.

I would say it is healthier to be completely shaven just because you can clean better down there

alright, I heard somewhere, that if you sleep in a tampon, then you can get an infection or a disease or something.

1. myth or fact?
2. If a fact, what is the infection?
3. what is the infection caused by?
4. how serious is the infection?

alright, thank you all so much!

you run the risk of TTS (toxic shock syndrome)

I am not exactly sure the cause of this besides it has to do with the bacteria in the tampon but it causes high fevers (and flu like syntoms) and can lead to death. Once you wear a tampon over 6 hours the risk of this skyrockets

so dont wear it when you sleep!
