My doctor told me to take a calcium supplement because im on depo provera and it takes calcium away from your bones or something. So I have been taking the viactiv chews, But I have been experiencing the side effects;Constipation, stomach upset, bone/muscle pain, headache, increased thirst, increased urination, weakness, tiredness. Any suggestion for a good supplement that will not cause these side effects??? Thanks in advance (link)
I think it would be best for you to ask your doctor because its just safer because if someone on advicenators was to tell you about a supplement and you were to get more sick so ya i suggest not getting medical advice or suggestions from here anyways go see a doctor explain your problem and they will prescribe you something good luck :)


Okay so I think I might be gay. How do I know for sure? (link)
When instead of being attracted to the opposite sex ur attracted to the same sex as yourself and if your attracted to both then ur bisexual so basically if you have stronger feelings and sexual attractions to the same sex as yourself then your gay if not then your not :)


16/f

I used to have pretty bad acne on my face, but now its finally gone! The only problem is that i have some pretty bad scars. They aren't like the crater scars but just red spots all over my face. They make it look like I still have bad acne unless I put on a ton of make up on my face.

Is there a product that anyone has used that can help get rid of these scars? If anything I'll ask to go to the dermatologist for christmas to get them removed. Has anyone either used a product or gone to the dermatologist and it worked for them really well? Can you give me the name of the product or procedure, and how much it cost? I'm ready to shed the scars and be confident.

Thanks :) (link)
I suggest getting a good concealer or a new foundation because i dont think your foundation is good enough and if it doesnt work then i suggest you go to the dermatologist and ask them what they suggest


16/f
I'm really interested in purchasing a chi flat iron, but my problem is that i'm not sure which one to get or where/if i can get it without ordering it.

-I have long, thin, wavy hair.

My only requirement is that it be a 1" flat iron.

So...suggest away :)

ghd just stands for "good hair day"


Hi I want a piercing and I REALLY want a helix piercing,
1) does it hurt
2) does it hurt more than having your nose done?

Thank you everyone (link)
Well i just got mine done and honstly it depends on how you take pain if your someone who feels pain easily then its gonna hurt but if you dont take pain that easily it wont hurt and it will hurt less then getting your nose done because your nose is completly different then your ear so ya it wont hurt as much but ya depending on how you take pain it will either hurt a lot or a little what i did to see if it wuld hurt was pinch my self really hard and if it hurt like hell then i figured the piercing was gonna hurt but if the pinch didnt hurt that much then i was gonna be k so as childish as this little test was lol try it to just see it :P anyways good luck tell me how it goes :)


ok so last year, this gang of boys used to tease me about my skin color and gave me a nick name...bb black b!^@# ... :\\\'( i cried lots...and i wasn\\\'t a snitch so i didn\\\'t tell on them. well this year, this is what one guy said to me.. pretend my name is leslie. so this was a conversation on fb..commented on my closest friend\\\'s status...i have brown skin...why do they make fun of me?? i dont wana snitch on them...coz they will hate me even more. now i feel like running away. or going to my hometown where im safe with my family members :( help me please!! i\'d rather talk to someone privately...but can\\\'t send email addresses here. .. ..and is it good for my friend to keep helping \\\"boy\\\" even if he made fun of me??

boy: im happy as long as that ugly bitch dies


girl two: what?!

boy: leslie (me, pretend im leslie the one who wrote this)

girl two: you seriously need help. =p

boy: she seriously needs to get hit by a car

girl two:. that\\\'s really mean :/ why would you say that?

boy: its harram, or sin to be that ugly

girl two: -_- have you looked in the mirror l8ly? haha jk! i\\\'m joking ok.!! :s

my close friend: i\'m with girl one!...she called you an asswhole n deserve it!!...(its for boy).....im jst too nice tht im still helpin you man!! (link)
This person is just immature and racist so ignore him and anyone else who says things about your skin or teases you and if it doest work your going to have to tell someone because things could get out of hand because he doesnt seem very nice or calm about this and just for your saftey if this doesnt end please tell your parents there your own blood and will only help you out nothing else so if my advice doesnt work which is ignore and walk away and dont engage in confrontation then tell your parents and have them deal with it and you wont be a snitch because this is serious and this guy needs to learn how hurtful and mean it is now. Good luck :) if you need anything else feel free to ask :)


Alright so I have a few dream questions.

What does it mean when I dream about my crush/ex really good guy friend calling me on the phone and telling me he 'loves me alot'

And what does it mean when I dream about my bitch ex bestfriend and her starting the friendship up again?

AND what does it mean when I dream about ghosts moving things in my house and basically scaring the shit out of me?

Thanks (link)
k well im not a proffessional so im not for sure lol but in my opinion the first one means that you want something in that relationship back and that deep down you still have feelings for him and want him back and wish that maybe that relatonship had lasted. The second one i think that even though you hate ur ex best friend now that you miss is kind of and wish that things use to be the way they were before when things were good and the last one is about something bad or something that is going to pressure you to do something bad that is going to happen in the next few days and the ghost is there to show you and warn you by scaring you so be careful and prevent yourself if possible from doing anything stupid this week.:)


my computer has this glass thing around the screen, and there are buttons like volume up and down, eject and stuff. my computer broke down a few days ago and i used the disc to 'wash' my computer, and when i turned it on the eject button just kept popping up and my computer tries to eject. i know its from the glass because when you press it, it says 'eject' in block letters and it shows on the screen, plus there's a beeping sound.
my question is, could i fix it myself or do i have to seek professional help? (link)
Its better to get professional help because if you try to do it yourself you might end up messing it up more and then end up paying more to get it fixed so ya just take it to a computer repair shop and get it fixed professionaly trust me it will save you time and effort.


can someone send me a website of the prada boots from their add from this year. i know this is quite vague but my memory is foggy,

http://www.styledrops.com/prada-shoes.html

http://www.shopstyle.com/browse/boots/Prada

http://www.tradekey.com/ks-new-prada-boots-wholesales/

i hope one of these helped if not just go to google or youtube and search for the new prada ad and maybe it will come up i hope this helped good luck :)


when is it airing? (link)
last time i heard mid december so probably before christmas.


16/f so this guy just broke up with his (now ex)girlfriend a couple weeks ago and basically she hates me and she found out that it like him and **I THINK** she might have told him that i like him because she told my friend that she was going to. anyway, so hes in one of my classes and he talks to me and he got my number and he texts me all the time and we flirt over texting and stuff but idk if he likes me i mean his best friend is a girl and the majority of his other friends are girls so im not sure if he's just being friendly? or if he really does like me...any help? i really like him! (link)
Well he got your number from someone else so he obviously really wanted to talk to you so i dont think hes talking to you as a friend or being just friendly with you i think he really likes you because if he was just being friendly with you he would have asked you for your number and would have tried being your friend first so ya i think he likes you :)


i am 15 and there is a girl in my school that i am mad about we used to be freinds when we were younger but we both started to hang with diffrent people and just forgot about eachother and then in comp we got put in the same science class and now she is all i can think about and she is my first love two i have never had felling not even sexuall atraction to anyone else so i put my heart on the line and told her how i feel and she says i dont know you to talk to anymore and tbh i do not wont to so if you really do love me just try and leave me alon so i have but my fellings for her are starting to get me really down and my hole life is being affected froom it freinds, family, school grades and even my looks are suffering i have given up all gum and hair care thing ect. (link)
Well first of all i have to say if she doesnt have feelings for you theres nothing you can do and although it will be hard to get over her but eventually will but you cant fall apart and let your life fall to pieces just because of a girl your young and you will love again just talk to someone a counsellor a friend or a parent anyone because you really need someone to talk to and to just open up to and maybe that will make you feel better and dw in time things will get better :) good luck


Almost a year ago I was feeling down and sad because I couldn't find the right guy. Relationship after relationship failed. I seemed to go for all the wrong guys; abusive, convicts (nothing against them), drunks, etc. So one day, out of despair, I came here and posted this:

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=555294

I just wanted to let everyone know that my wish came true. For those with my same wish, don't give up! That perfect someone is just right around the corner waiting for you! Maybe you won't find him/her today or tomorrow or in 6 months but there's someone out there for everyone. And if you do find someone you think is worth keeping, HOLD ON! Love is always worth the effort. I really hope this helps some of those people that were feeling like me almost a year ago.

Lots of love and best of luck. (link)
Im glad your happy and have found your true love and thxs for writing back to tell us how your doing i just wish you all the best and i hope you have an awesome life filled with joy :)


i'm 15 years old/female.

and i have terrible breakouts.
i have post-marks from them too..
i know that teens are supposed to break out a little bit,it's part of puberty, but i want to keep it under control.

here's my current skin routine:
i only was my face once a day, night time, and it's in the shower. i use avons professional skin care face cleanser.
after that i use the lotion, ( i'm currently out of the toner pads that come with the set) and then i use the Neutrogena spot treatment.it says that it will visably reduce the sign of acne and post-acne marks in 8 hours. it dosent really seem to work though..but i read that it may take three weeks.
i used to have REALLY bad acne, i would have three or four on each side of my face, on my fourhead, my chin, and some on my nose. and they would be HUGE. and they would HURT. baddd.
i would get heachaches from them. and when i went over them with makeup, they would just hurt even more.
so after that, i started using proactiv, but i got imune to it, i guess. haha.

i've been trying to clear my breakouts up again, but it dosent really seem to be working.
i heard that if you wash with warm water, adn rinse with cold water, then that helps alot.
and would it help if i boiled hot water, let my face over it, and the steam would like clean out my poors though?

if anyone has any suggestions, or tips, they would be greatly appreciated. (:
(link)
Get cliniques 3 step system it really works or get astrigent it might sting a little but it works and if you want to save money and do a home remedy then i suggest taking a lime/lemon and cut it in half and squeeze the juice on your face and just spread it but do not touch your face after you apply it just wait an hour and then wash your face with your cleanser and hot water then apply your moisturizer and ya they should start to go away slowly.


well here goes I go to a center every day that is kind o like school but it's kind of not like school I know it's complicated. I gues the only difference is they let you smoke there and at school they don't. ok here is my problem there is this girl at the center and I was so happy that she quit but she came back I know that is kind of mean but if you only knew her you would feel the same way ok iam getting off track the problem I have with her is not that she is bisexual i mean that is her life but she pokes me with her finger and when I tell her to stop she won't stop and then she follows me everywhere and when Iam smoking she is always asking me for a smoke and she never has her own and I don't giver her any becouse of that how can I get her to leave me the hell alone? (link)
Just tell her your not interested in being her friend and you want her to just leave you alone and if she still doesnt tell the teacher/principal at the centre and they can help you out.


ive got some hair extensions, there only chee ones £5.00 but there actually quit nice but the ends have gone all frizzy :(
does anyone know how to get them back to normal ?
ive tried...
1. washing them with shampoo & conditioner
2- straightening them
but what else could i do ?
help please (link)
well are they human hair or sythetic b/c that can be a huge reason but anyways try this website

http://hair.lifetips.com/faq/100175/0/how-do-i-care-for-my-hair-extensions/index.html


and if my mom knew she would hate me but i am in love with guy what should i do (link)
Well your only 14 so being in love at a young age is suprising b/c its not really an age for you to understand what love really is but i guess its fine if you do really love him and about you not being allowed to date well i suggest just telling your mom because you cant really hide something like this forever she will find out one day and if you dont tell her yourself she will probably be even more mad just tell her you really like him dont tell her you love him she wont understand so ya tell her you like him and that dating isnt bad and that in a few years you will date anyways and tell her that your showing how mature you are by telling her your dating and that if you werent ready you wouldnt have told her at all trust me if you tell your mom this she cant say no to you dating it might take her some time to understand but she will. Good luck :)


So...the same girl as i said before (the one who took my homework and gave it to someone else) well..today..she started talking about the guy who likes her and stuff..then..she said "wait i'll tell you later" after sometime...(hour or so) i asked again for her to continue...then shes like "wait!" (really angry face) then....later when she was free like totally free..i asked her ..then she says "why do you care? this is my personal problems" this really hurt me. she was the one who started the convo about the guy who likes her. i couldn't help but show her that i was mad at her...and ignored her for half of the day. and..when she was talking to me..i ignored her. but before we went home, i talked to her. tomorrow shes gona come to my house. so i have to talk to her. is this a good friend or not? and what should i do? I NOW KNOW NOT TO ASK HER ANY MORE FAMILY OR RELATIONSHIP QUESTIONS....yeesh :'( (link)
K this is obviously not a good friend i mean she took your hw and gave it to someone else that should be the first clue of a bad friend and second of all getting you started about a topic and then totally ignoring you when you want to know more about it is kind of childish and i honestly dont think she realizes it but acting bitchy is not cool so forget her you can make way better friends then her. Let her realize how wrong she was.


i have freckles.
a lot of freckles.

they're all over my face and i know a lot of people tell me that they're cute or whatever, but I really don't like them.

They're really dark against my skin tone and I was wondering if anybody knew a way to lighten the shade a bit, or get rid of them completely.

note: I am not a fan of cosmetic surgeries or laser treatments.

Thank you so much. (link)
try makeup like concealer i mean it wont be permenant but it will work i suggest talking to a dermatologist or a skin doctor or something only they can tell you what to do and make sure its safe. good luck :)
