So when i told my stylist that i wanted to grow my hair out, she told me that i should still be getting it cut every month. She does a good job with my hair and all but i feel like she's just trying to get more money for me. If hair grows from the roots then I dont understand why getting it cut more regularly would help it grow faster. Can someone please explain this to me. Also, any other tips to help me grow out my hair would be much appreciated. (link)
K well you dont need to get it cut but you need to get it trimmed just a few inches off because it gets rid of dead ends that are preventing your hair from growing so ya you need to get rid of the dead ends so your hair can continue growing also jsut keeping your hair healthy and preventing damage is going to help your hair grow so for example before straightening or curling or blowdrying your hair use a heat protectant so ya this will keep your hair from getting damaged from the heat so ya just follow these steps and you should have awesome hair.


okay, so this year i ride the bus with this kid, peter right? and he's always like tickling me and touching me and playing with my hair and we're friends and stuff, but i don't know him that well at all so i wouldn't know if he's just a flirty guy or whatever. he's a sophomore and i'm a junior. no, that doesn't bother me, but that's the reason i can't tell if he's just a flirty guy or not. we talk about everything on the bus. and i like having guy friends, so i always talk about my guy friends and funny stories from when people texted me that night. apparently he thought i had a boyfriend because i was doing a "group" dress up kind of thing for halloween right... and with a guy. i really like him, i flirt back, but he still doesn't text me. and if i text HIM sometimes he doesn't text back. it's so stupid!

anyways, last week he asked me this question: "okay hypothetic question. what if you really really like this girl, and she likes you. but she has a boyfriend? and she's a junior." and of course i totally thought he was talking about someone ELSE, not me. so of course, knowing my luck, and how jealous i was, i gave him this advice "if she's older than you, she probably just wants to hookup or maybe her boyfriend isn't paying attention to her or whatever?" and so that was that. he let it be. the next day he ignored me. the next day, he flirted with me again. the next day, this kid i sit next to on the bus, chris was like "so courtney... how's your boyfriend" and i was like..."i don't have one..." and then i could hear chris and peter having this conversation:
chris-"i thought she did"
peter-"she told me that" (i never did.)

later on that same day i asked chris why he thought i did, and chris said that peter told him that i said i had a boyfriend which is NOT true.

so, what do i do?

thanks in advance (link)
K well obviously there is a huge misunderstanding between you and him so you need to clear things up ask him to meet you somewhere so you guys can talk and tell him everything and hopefully he will understand and you guys cant start your relationship so ya basically you need to tell him so he doesnt stay confused about whats going on. Good luck :)


My best friend is very stubborn. I love her to death but she doesn't want to hang out in my town because of this boy that is somewhat of an asshole to her. I enjoy hanging out with her. And i told her over and over again that we just don't have to hang out with him, we can have an "us" day. But she says "oh but we'll meet up with him later on in the day". I tell her we don't have to but she just doesn't listen. Am i losing my best friend right before my eyes? HELP ): (link)
Hi wll i think theres something more then just that guy because i dont think she would act this way over just a guy i mean even after you telling her that he wont be around she doesnt want to come doesnt really make sense so i would try to figure out whats really going on ask her whats wrong and get to the bottom of it and if it is the guy thing then tell her that you feel like your losing her because she wont come hang out with you and trust you that the guy wont be around and ya if she does respect your friendship she will come hang out with you.


Hey!
Are there any sites like ebay where there is no shipping cost, or hardly any at all??
I love to shop online but I really HATE shipping costs.
Because there was this one site where I found a necklace which was 10 cents but the shipping costs were nine dollars...thats a kinda huge difference form the price itself....
Thank you! (link)
Some online stores have online discount coupons but not all so i would search on google and type in the store name and discount shipping coupons and if there is any you should find them you can also find some online stores with free or discounted shipping on youtube just type in clothing hauls and ya hope i helped good luck :)

How do you figure out your GPA? (link)
it should be on your report cards or ask your school counsellor


Hey guys. F. 17.
Well, let me first start that I have been speaking to this guy for about 2 weeks now. And I have 1 class with him. Lets call him nate. Well I've been kinda crushing on nate since freshman year and he didn't know it. Nate also had a girlfriend but they broke up 2 days after he messaged me on myspace. Saying hi that he thinks im cute and if I have a sn. (Sry if this is long =)) so we started to talk and his away messages r all like really depressing bcz his girlfriend broke up with him. So we kinda got used 2 eachother and we flirt a lot online. And he says that he wants me 2 help him 4get about her. He says its soon 2 go out but maybe next month. Sometimes he still writes on his away messages "why did u leave me" and stuff like that. So sometimes I feel like he jus has me around 2 flirt. And he's really quiet in class. Never talks. He smiles at me A LOT though. Says im pretty and wants 2 invite me to the movies.. I don't know what to say 2 him. I like him too. And I also recently broke up with my BF. So we r both hurt, he keeps telling me that he wants me 2help him forget about her. So I don't know what to do.. Any advice.? Does he really like me or am I just a toy for him?? Help. Thanks soo much. -sincerly, confused?? (link)
I think theres a chance he might like you but dont get too attached because he might think he likes you but then not or maybe he could be just looking for someone to help him get over his ex until he tells you how he feels you wont know for sure so ill i can say is dont get you hopes up too high but dont lose hope either just give him time if he likes you he will tell you soon :D


hi 14f


I was wondering how to keep my foundation from fading? i use maybeleen dream mousse foundation, its the wet kind. In dhe morning i put the wet foundation on, than the powder kind. it looks good, but during the day at school i see i can see my pimples and skin come threw. like my skins like a redish color and i use the makeup to cover it,but my face isnt all red just a little on my cheeks and chin.Help me out there? I also wanted to know some sexy makeup ideas usually i wear the gray eyeshadow with purple,blue or green eyeliner, and sometimes over lap them, it looks nice and i get a lot of compliments. I want more! haha i like to look nice, and i want my bf to be proud of his girl. :) i love make up,i don't wear it constantly though. im happy with the way i look..sometimes. tips, ideas and links would be appreciated thanks so much!!! (link)
okay well first of all you need to get a primer for your foundation thats the only way to keep your foundation to fade i would get a primer from mac there the best but drug store ones are good too just ask the makeup counter what they would suggest also to cover up the pimples and to make sure they wont be showing through you foundation use concealer again mac is the best brand but drug store is just fine too and for your eyeshadow i suggest getting these palattes from coastal scents you dont have to get all just these two should be good

or

my sister went to the hospital last night becouse her back and her stomack was hurting her really badly and the doctor at the hospital said that she had cists on both of her overies and that they could be cancer and I don't know what to do iam really worried some thoughts of encourgement or advice would be helpful if you have any it would be greatly appreciated.

Okay so a year and a half ago I was raped by someone I have known since I was 9 I am now 20. Anyways when people start talking about rape or say rapist or anything sometimes the subject doesnt even have to come up, I start thinking about it and then get in this horrible depression. I am also diagnosed with bi-polar and attending college so it gets really stressful, to the point where I start feeling sucidal and thats not normal. I can't afford my medication i have talked to many counselours but this rape thing really bugs me sometimes, I thought I would be over it by now? Whats going on? (link)
K well rape is something that a lot of people cant seem to forget if they have been a victim of it so i totally understand but the point is you need to try to forget becsause the more you think of it the harder life will be for you try not to think about it when the topic comes up just take a deep breath and think about something good that happen in your life.Dont worry one day you will forget about it and be able to live happily :)


18/f

Been friends with my friend Sam since 1st grade. We have always been tight. Been friends with my friend Melanie since 5th grade. Sam, Melanie and I had always been great friends. When I decided to go to a different high school, Melanie stops talking to me, and keeps hanging out with Sam excluding me from all activites. I begin to resent Melanie, but am still friends with Sam. Not until recently I told Sam how I felt about Melanie... bad idea. After hanging out with Sam almost every weekend (Melanie being there as well but not talking to me and I not talking to her) did not invited me to go out for mischief night. Hurt my feelings alot since I've been going out with them since freshman year. When I asked Sam why she did this she said something along the lines of "I couldnt invite you since you make it known that you don't like Melanie". hmm... I told her to call me. She texted me later that night at like 12 asking to talk and I said I was tired. Havent talked to her since. Word on the street is that she's ignoring me... even though I didnt do anything. What should I do? Give up on the friendship? I understand Sam feels stretched, but she shouldnt feel she has to choose. I know I dont make her feel like she does at all. I don't want to her call her up because everytime we get in a fight I'm chasing her for an apology. I wont do it this time. Please help... thanks. (link)
Well i think if they ignore you and exclude you from everything they do despite knowing you for so long then you should just make new friends because these ones are obviously not very good ones to you.You dont have to apoligize but i thinnk it would show that your the bigger person and then you can just tell them both that them treating you the way they have been hurt your feelings and if they cant change then you dont need to be friends with them anymore. I hope i helped good luck :)


14-f

OMG so i told like my best friend about my ""one night stand" ?????/? am i a slut? (link)
No your not a slut for doing it just once you would be if you did it more then once and just fix it by clearing you name and telling people that it was a one time thing im sure your not the only girl whose done that but im amazed that a such a young age girls and guys are thinking about sex but anyways just prove to people your not by not doing it again and tellign people it was a one time thing and it wouldnt happen again like that.


i smoke so much

is there a reason ?

i love the feeling but could it be more?

am i depressed? (link)
Most times people smoke it so much to hide from things they dont want to face and to hide away and get away from depression or suicidal thought basically they smoke it to get away from the bad things in there lives so ya it could be a form of depression or addiction.


hey im 18/f and i want to start working out again because i need to tone up and get in shape. When i was about 15 i worked out alot and then got very ugly stretch marks from my muscles growing too fast i think. I really dont want this to happen when i start working out again. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do to stop them? Thanks a lot! (link)
dont work out so much just do it slowly not fast go to the gym once in awhile and dont overdue that way you still get what you want without the stretch marks but if you do get them go to your nearby drugstore and get a stretchmark hider or remover and you'll be fine :)


17/f. i'm seventeen, and i've never really babysitted before, maybe like once when i was 15. i mean i have little brothers, but i never had to do anything, yano. & now i have to go babysit a little two year old tomorrow, and i have no idea what to do. what do you do with a two year old? (link)
Gather some toys and play with them or watch a cartoon or a kid movie something that will keep the kid entertained and busy those are the things i would do with a two year old good luck :)


My English teacher wants us to draft a college admission essay for Thursday. I know that the admissions office does not like reading the same essays every year, like how a sport made you a better person or how a travel experience changed your life. I want to be original but I feel as though I'm going to sound like everyone else.
My ideas so far are writing about how I did Irish Dancing for most of my life (I don't even know any girls my age that do it), what led my to my career choice (I saw a girl get hit by a car and have wanted to be a nurse since), or talking about how thankful I am for my glasses/contacts (I've had to wear them since I was 3).
I don't know if these ideas are too far out or not original in the least bit? Which one should I do, or should I choose another topic? Thanks, f/17. (link)
I think you should do what led to your career choice that would be interesting to the person reading it and it would be a new thing for them and im sure they would love to read about how you came about choosing the career you did so definitly do that one. Good luck :)


i have an HP laptop that i got last month for college. it's got a built-in webcam but i can't figure out how to use it. When i use skype, it automatically pops up and it works on there, but is there not a way to open the webcam just to take random pictures and stuff? i've googled but can't find anything and i've played around with the HP media studio or whatever but still no luck. is this a no brainer that i'm missing? any help would be appreciated :) (link)
Go to the start button and go to all programs and through everything it might be hidnig in a folder or if that doesnt work get out your instruction manual that you got with your computer and read that and last resort go to the place you got your computer or call them and ask them or ask a frienc or someone who is good with computers that you know.


...as more than a friend?

We're 17 by the way (link)
When he flirts with you or hangs around you all the time or looks at you and then looks away when you look at him or when he talks to you constalty or looks for chances to talk to you and lasltly when he asks people about you and wants to know more about you.


My hair is soooo ugly right now!!! I have medium hair length (shoulder length), my natural color is light brown/dirty blonde, but I often dye my hair a medium/dark brown. I used to have naturally straight hair when I was little, but after a few years it started to get wavyier. And now whenever I shower or get my hair wet, it naturally is wavy. But since my hair is so short, there's like 5 waves and it looks so gross. That's why I straighten it everyday for school. I know that is a lot of damage to my hair... So I don't need reminders. Here's the thing- I play after school sports right now and my schedule is very crazy and hectic, so I don't really have the time to get it recolored, cut, or deep conditioned. Right now I am using Loreal Vive pro shampoo and conditioner for very dry/damaged hair and I'm not really seeing a difference. Any suggestions on what products I should use? Another thing I noticed is that each individual strand is separated from one another, not like bunched up in clusters of hair... It's weird.

Also, whenever I straighten my hair, it straightens it for a few minutes but then after a while, goes back to normal. I don't know if it's my hair, or if I need a new straightener or what? Where I'm from, there's not much humidity.

Can anyone PLEASE help me?? Rememeber, I don't have the time and money to go to a salon or anything like that.

THANK YOU!!! (link)
K well what i would recommend you try is treseme or dove shampoo and conditioner those two are the brands that work really well and as for a straightner i think conair should work fine but if you are looking for a new straightner i would recommend chi because its amazing and what you should do is use heat protectant like tresemes or got2b hair protectant it will save your hair from damage when you straigten it and make sure you straighten a few strand of hair at a time it helps keep your hair straight longer and if that doesnt work then use hair spray or again the best brand would be tresemes hair spray so ya thats what in my opinion would work and i think the reason your hair is so wavy is because you probably tie it up a lot but thats fine if you do all that i said you should be fine.


I was wondering if there are any jobs that I can apply for before I am 16. (link)
Fast food places usually hire teens under 16 like mcdonalds or dennys, wendys, dairy queen basically any fast food place will hire you.
