Um so this is weird but my nipples are like crooked. one goes down and the other is like striaght. is something wrong with me?? im really sorry this is weird.

im 15/f if that helps

It really is normal. Most people have one nipple slighty larger or smaller than the other, And I don't just mean breasts. One foot can be 1/2 or a whole shoe size larger. Some people have to pad one bra cup. Try looking at peoples eyebrows, ears, jaws... The point is that most of us have idiosyncrasies.

If it still bothers you later in life, you can have simple cosmetic surgery to fix your problem.

I have medium lenght hair but it takes about 3 hours to blow dry and straighten!! any tips?

God that sucks dont it? I USED to spend that much time but now I've got it down to less than a hour to blowdry & staighten. First things first obviously, the "nappier" your hair is the longer it's going to take to striaghten it. So you need to fix that problem. After doing this to my hair and trying hundreds of products to help me in my quest I have finally found THE ONE. (Hear the hallelujah choir? lol) Pick up a bottle of Pantene Pro-V hair serum. Put it in your hair right before you blowdry smoothing it in from root to tip, you wont believe how much faster you can straighten your hair and it WONT get frizzy later in the day either. Go here to see what the bottle looks like so you know what your looking for: http://www.pantene.com/en_US/products/collection/smooth/anti_frizz_serum.jsp
You can pick it up at Wal-mart for $5.00

what is better for you regular or diet soda?

and is margerine or regular butter better for you?

me and my friend are debating over this.

All soda is bad technically speaking but I still love it! Diet is a extreme no~no. Yes your saving on calories but ALL diet drinks have an indredigent called Aspartame. The side effects of drinking diet soda's long term can lead to brain tumors, headaches, vision loss, and many other neurological problems..

Margarine is better than butter. Not only is it cheaper but it is more healthier for you.

I had asked a question almost a week ago about my boyfriend dumping me out of the blue. Well, I find out today that he and one of my GOOD friends had sex.


Now, this is for anyone to answer. She thinks there is nothing wrong with it because we broke up. Tell me how FUCKED up it is that she would do that when she KNOWS I'm not over him and we broke up not even a week ago.


Right when I was just starting to be okay with us breaking up... This happens.

Write her off as a "friend" honey. She's a backstabber. Under no circumstances is a bf supposed to have sex with your ex. That's just the unspoken rule. I'd tell her where she could shove him...right up her ass. They deserve each other. I'm sorry this happened to you, I know it hurts some kinda' bad....

I am/was i'm not sure if i still am pregnate but let's say i lost my baby would i be able to tell by a pregnacy test like of you lost the baby or not througha pregancy test please help me i need to know soon. thanks

Most times, early pregnancy failure occurs because there is something wrong with the fetus, such as a severe defect or abnormality. When the fetus is not developing properly, hormone levels in a woman's body drops, and the pregnancy begins to disconnect and pass from her body.
Typical signs of early pregnancy failure include

slight vaginal bleeding or spotting

severe abdominal pain

severe cramps

dull lower-back ache, pressure, or pain

on-and-off lower abdominal or thigh pain

a change in vaginal discharge

Although these are common signs, not all miscarriages are painful, and many women have early pregnancy failure without knowing it.

Early pregnancy failure occurs in 15 to 40 percent of all pregnancies during the first 20 weeks.

If you were early enough in your pregnancy, say in the first 1-5 weeks, you could of passed the fetus without even knowing. The only way to find out is to go to your Doctor right away! What a pregnancy test does is see how much of the pregnancy hormone you have in your body. This is just a hormone it detects, not if there's an actuall fetus in the womb. If your over 4 weeks of pregnancy have you expierenced bleeding? back pain? or lower stomach pain? Go to the doctor you will need to have a D&C done to remove the lining and the fetus. I'm real sorry if this is what has happened to you. I have been there. Just please go to the Dr. right away. Your baby may be fine but you won't know till you go.

This question is directed toward all you christian colunists. I'm planning to get a tattoo soon and I'd like to get the opinion of other christians. So if you are a christian, I'd like to know how you feel about tattoos.

Well, I am a Christian and I have tattoos. Traditionally, your not supposed to mark your skin. All of my tattoos have meaning to me there not wortless you know like say your wanting to get a tribal tattoo around your arm, that has no real meaning. I have my grandmothers name and a butterfly on my arm. I went to a family reunion one time and the preacher came up to me (He knew my grnadmother well when she was alive) and teared up and said, well if you HAD to get a tattoo....you chose the right one. That is something that I will never forget. I'm not saying you should get a tattoo of someone that has passed in your life, just make sure it has meaning so it will always be worth something to you. like hmm I have the name Precious written in a chinese symbol on my ankle. It's my dog's name.. Nope dont care how pathetic that sounds, I love her to death! So I say go for it. I don't regret any of the one's I have (4 total) Good Luck and have fun choosing the right tattoo!

If I wore a reg. size tampon and put it in at 12 and then woke up around 8 maybe nine will I be at a health risk?

You can wear a tampon for up to 8 hours, day or night, but keep in mind that you should change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours and use the lowest absorbency needed to reduce the risk of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome).

I always wear mine during the nights, sometimes sleeping over my 8 hour max. Use the Playtex Slimfits because it is the lowest absorbency needed and you can keep those in longer.

Edit- We all answered your exact question.. Will I be at a Health Risk? YES FOR TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME IF IT IS LEFT IN OVER A 8 HOUR PERIOD. You need to rate fairly. If your question was answered right then that deserves a 5 for the people that took the time to answer your question.

One of my Vaginal Inner Lips is longer than the other.
I've read other girls who've had this and people have said that it happens, and its normal.
I just wanted to double check.
Is this ok?

Yes, it is quite normal for one or both of the inner vaginal lips to be longer than the outer vaginal lips. About 25 percent of women will have an inner lip that hangs out noticeably longer. It is also normal for one or both of the inner lips to have different colors, with one being darker or more purplish than the other due to different patterns of blood supply.

A larger or protruding inner lip is a natural variation and is not due to sexual intercourse, masturbation, friction, sports or trauma. It is not usually a problem unless the size of the protrusion is so large that it causes excessive irritation from rubbing on the genital area, or if it is creating psychological distress due to its appearance. In that case a minor surgical procedure (labiaplasty) can be done to remove the extra tissue.

my friends are always like omg he just got a boner! and i always feel left out cuz i dont know what they are...and im too embarassed to ask. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT A BONER IS?

THANKS

A "boner" is a slang term that refers to a man's erection. When boys and men become sexually excited by sexual thoughts, wet dreams, or sex play with themselves or another person their penises fill with blood and get hard and erect. Sometimes boys and young men get erections for no reason at all. These "spontaneous erections" can be embarrassing, but are perfectly normal.

Occasionally, usually once a month, my face gets covered in blackheads, and it drives me crazy. I try everything to get rid of them, but they just keep coming back. What is the easiest way to get rid of blackheads? Will rate high =]

Here's you a couple home remedies for getting rid of blackheads:

1. Use a gentle scrub to prepare your skin and place a strip of heavy duty (like trimmed packing tape) over your nose and sides of nostrils and give it a few minutes. It's going to hurt a bit when it comes to removal but it should remove a fair amount of gunk.

2. Remove blackheads by combining 1/4 cup of very hot water and 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts with 4 drops of iodine. Mix well and let cool until warm to the touch. Dip a cotton ball and apply to the blackhead and surrounding area. When mixture is dry gently remove with a washcloth.

3. Pop the blackhead with very clean fingers then apply neosporin directly to area.

4. Grated cucumber applied over the face ,eyes and neck for fifteen minutes are very much beneficial for acne and blackheads. (LOVE THIS ONE)

5. Mash aspirin with spoon and add a little drop of water to make a paste, spread on problem areas.

6. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.

7. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.

8. Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.

9. Aloe Vera juice applied twice a day can greatly speed up the healing of acne lesions.

10. Take vitamin B5 and zinc supplements daily to strengthen the skin's resistance to acne.

There ya' go... 10 Home Remedies that will help you with your prob...sift thru em' and try the one's you like best. Good Luck :)

Ohh boy, i just turned 15..had sex for my first time, didnt use a condom, im so stupid and im so scared now :( im stressing out so much and i dont know what to know, i had sex like exactly a week ago now, and i dont know if im bloaded or what but my stomach is starting to get big and ive gained 3 pounds-ive also been noticing im eating A LOT latly :-/ should i go get checked out..or take a pregnancy test? ohh lord help me!!

It would be physically impossible for you to start showing in as early as a week. When your pregnant you do not begin to show till around your 4th month. You probably eating alot more because you are stressed out. That's why your getting all these thoughts of omg im eating so much more, ive gained x amount of weight in a week, im already showing....your just freaking out a bit. Calm down, take a deep breath and know that everything will be ok. I have been in your situation (I was 17) First step is to take a pregnancy test. (You may be worrying for absolutely nothing ya know) If you can't afford a test you can go to your local Health Department and take one. It's free for everyone under the age of 18 and your parents will never know. If you do find that your pregnant you have a few options.
1. Tell your parents and sit down together and figure out what to do
2. You can put the child up for adoption. (There are so many wonderful people that want kids and cant have any themselves.)
3. Morning after pill- Emergency contraception can be used when a condom breaks, after a sexual assault, or any time unprotected sexual intercourse occurs. Available from a pharmacy without a prescription.)
4. Abortion - Don't know how you feel on that topic. -Note just because I suggested it, in no way says that it is something that I beleive in.

If it turns out your not pregnant then I think you have learned a valuable lesson. Always use protection girl! and maybe you should consider getting on Birth Control..

Is god real im confused

How can we know if God is real? Wouldn't it be nice if we could pick up the telephone and give him a call? Or drive by his house just to see if his car was in the driveway? Fortunately, there are better ways to address this question. Consider this perspective: since God is infinite and we are finite, if God wanted to make himself known he would have to make his presence clear. So, are there any signs that point to the reality of God? We can look at the world and see if the world is constructed in such a way that it is reasonable to believe that there must be a God." Just as the hunter follows the trail of an animal that he has yet to see--paw prints, clumps of fur, broken branches--we are looking for the fingerprint of God in the physical world.

Water...colorless, odorless and without taste, and yet no living thing can survive without it.

The Bible was written over a 1500-year span, by 40 different authors, in different locations and on separate continents, written in three different languages, covering diverse subject matters at different points in history.11 Yet there is an astounding consistency in its message. Throughout the entire Bible the same message appears:

1. God created the world we live in, and created us specifically to have a relationship with Him.
2. He deeply loves us.
3. We have sinned and are under God's judgment, in need of His forgiveness.
4. God provided a way for our sins to be forgiven.
5. He asks us to receive His forgiveness and have a relationship with Him that will last eternally.



Pick up a copy of this book: My Descent Into Death : A Second Chance at Life. It's about a atheist who had a near death expiernce and resigned from his local job and is now a Minister.

I personally, believe in God now you have to decide if you do too....

Ok so i want to become a singer..singing is my passion. and i've developed new passions for modeling and acting as well..but i dont know the first thing about breaking into the industry. I want to move to NYC after i graduate highschool (most likely in Manhattan..Midtown/Upper West Side) i thought about going to college but i'm not so sure thats the right move. i've even looked at colleges (such as Juilliard) and while Juilliard is nice...they dont offer a course or "major" for singing. The music department is like playing instruments and thats not at all what I want. Does anyone know of any good colleges in NYC? I've never been so i dont know anything about it. and also could someone tell me if college is the right move for what i want to do?

If your wanting to promote your singing and be the best then you need to choose the best college suited exactly for your needs, one where singing is there major. That may mean you not moving to NYC. You jsut have to decide what is more important to you.

COLLEGE OF MUSIC-There you can learn the business, learn how to sing better, perform for audiences, and make business connections.

Below are several college's that I found where music is that major... Good luck to you.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS
ALBION COLLEGE IN Albion, MI-
MESSIAH COLLEGE IN Grantham, PA-
MOUNT MERCY COLLEGE IN cedarrapids IA-
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE IN Rhode Island-
JAMESTOWN COLLEGE IN Jamestown, ND-
GREENVILLE COLLEGE IN Greenville, NC-

Hey... ok, this question is crazy so don't say I didn't warn you.

I think I'm looking for opinions more than advice... and I want to hear what you all think!!

Ok, I am a 20 year old female and I am about to start my third year of college. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for about 3 years. We actually went out for 2 years, then broke up for 8 months because I didn't want a relationship, and have now been back together for a few months. He is deffinitely the love of my life, and we intend on getting married in the future.

Why in the future and not now? Well, he recently joined the army and will be in it for the next 4 years. He is now stationed across the country and is going to Iraq for a year soon. He visits as much as he can, and we have no problems making the relationship work. We always talk about getting married in 4 years, because that is when he will get out of the army and I will be finishing up college.

So what is my question about? Well, we got to talking the other day, and the idea of us getting married NOW came up. The reason this even came up is because if we do it now, he will get payed twice as much for being married and in the military. Not only that, but I will also be able to get on his health insurance plan provided by the army. And lastly, the army would pay for my last four years of college... and because I am not eligible for financial aid, that would save us about 150,000 dollars in loans (after interest) once I am graduated.

If we get married now, there would be no ceremony since it's too last minute... he leaves for Iraq in 2 months. We would just sign the papers and be legally married. In your opinion, is this a mistake? Is it selfish or in bad taste? We both intend on getting married to each other, and we both love one another and have faith in the relationship. If we get married now, we intend on having a big ceremony in a year or two. What do you think? I mean if we are getting married anyway and love each other, shouldn't we just do it now and make our lives in the future easier?

All opinions are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks! :)

I can see where you are coming from. I am a marine wife for all of 3 months now. Life is definatley easier being married. We were already together but struggling through everything (we were engaged the whole time) then decided to push up the date which ment we got married at the justice of the peace. It sucks that I didn't get the wedding a girl always dreams of but none the less I still have the man I always dreamed of and can say he's my husband. With your boyfriend going to Iraq I would think it would be easier on him knowing yall were married kind of like a assurance that his WIFE is right here waiting on him ya know. I say go for it. You only live once, might as well be happy while your here!

~Additional~ thanks so much for the feedback, it definately made me smile :)

Why are my legs so skinny danm can i get them fatter

You can't really make your legs fatter without making the rest of your body fatter. I would love if you could thou, I'd target some fat right to my butt lol but sadly we can't. You can however muscular them up. One thing will do it and that is jagar squats. do at leat 8 sets of these try to do as manny reps as you can but aim for 50 when you are starting out. To do jagar squts simply stand then squat and then stand again, however try to do this as fast as humanly posible and then try to go faster. When you do them think faster, faster, faster. Speed is the key and they work. Good luck.

If the clothes from abercrombie are so...thin....why do they cost so much?
And I don't want this to sound mean, but why do so many people buy their clothes there, just for them to shrink in the laundry?

Abercrombie clothes are so thin because they have little children working for a few cents a day making these clothes, and are given poor materials to work with.

1.) In 2003, the abercrombie near my house was sued and shutdown. Why? The people working there would not allow an african amercian girl to work at a cash register because they needed to portray an 'Amercian' look.My friend told me about this, it's horrible. I was shocked. Abercrombie has been sued several times and has reportingly payed $50 milliion in one case.

2.) Abercrombie uses child labor, incase you don't know already, it's illegal, and they only pay children a few cents an hour.

3.) T-shirts have had rascist slogans like: "Wong Brother Laundry Service - Two Wongs Can Make it White" and included a picture of two men with slanted eyes and conical hats. I am just so against racism, and all abercrombie is doing is promoting it.

3.) Abercrombie was selling thongs in Abercrombie Kids. Thongs are okay for us, but I wouldn't want my little sister who is 8 and who shops there to be wearing one. I mean, it's like they are promoting sex and sluttyness. I don't know about you, but I don't want my sister to think that's okay for her to buy one since they are in her department, and grow up to be slutty.

4.) Mike Jefferies, the CEO of abercrombie, has said along these lines, that if you are fat, this store is not for you. I see fat people being made fun of every day, and it really upsets me. Being shut out of a store just because of a persons weight must make them feel so self concious, and then, they might become anorexic or belimic.

5.) It is obvious they are marketing to teens and it is sick to think they are using sex to do it. They even had porn in the christmas catlog. No prices, no clothes.

People who shop from Abercrombie apperently do not know what is REALLY going on with that company and if people want to support a company that are against black women, against overweight teens and adults and are 100% for little kids wearing thongs then by all means...But I however, will not. Props for you for not shopping there either, regardless of the reason.

My dad said I could get my nose pierced; instead of my belly button.
-How much does it cost?
-What does it feel like?
-Addition Information,.
Thank you.

-Cost: between $30.00 & $50.00
-What does it feel like: Sure it hurts, and don't forget you won't be able to blow your nose like a normal person, and it's very susceptible to infection.
-Any problems: Well, if I were u, i'd get my bellybutton pierced instead!! My friends older sister got a stud on the side of her nose and the back of it slipped down her nose!!!! She had to have surgery to get it out!!!
*TIP*
If you are right handed, get the left side of your nose pierced (vice versa) it makes it alot easier to change the "ear"ring.
