Whats the best way to get rid of blackheads?
thanks
I would like to add to everyone else: take two q-tips, and press the area around the blackhead. If it is ready to come out, it will, but if its not, don't push it, or a scab or even a scar will form. Taking a bath or a shower before you go blackhead-squeezing helps a lot too.
ok well my friend max is an athiest. he doesnt belive in any kind of god. hes like a science nerd so that probably has something to do with it. well i really want him to belive in God but i dont know how i can talk to him about it. we arent close enough to talk about that stuff. what should i do?
I think you shouldn't talk to him about it. Obviously, being atheist suits his lifestyle, and I can garauntee you that he has heard about God, but hadn't chosen this faith because, well, he doesn't want to, and he doesn't share the same beliefs you do.
My breasts hurt alot when i run without a bra on. Is this normal?
Yes, this is normal, but not healthy. The reason they hurt is because the tissues in your breasts bruise and sometimes even tear as they bounce up and down. The reason bras were invented was to protect the breasts from damage as you walk, run, and do other activities.
If you don't wear a bra (at all) for up to a month or so, your breasts will become alot less sensitive, but they will sag alot more.
Wearing a bra is your own personal decision, there are benefits and damages.
Does 93 pounds seem overwieght for a 12 year old female?
I don't understand how (almost) everyone could answer this question. You could be really short, or you could be really tall. I don't want to risk telling you that you are normal weight if you are like 6 feet tall, because then you would be extremely underweight.
Please add your height to this question, or go to this website and it will determine if you are a healthy weight:

And it's so weird 'cause I can't stop thinking about it. I've tried everything but nothing works more than temporarily... I don't know why I can't keep thinking about that one particular person! It's not a crush, they're like a gazillion years older than me. Besides i think he's in like his 50's!!!! and i'm 13/f. please please please help this has been going on for weeks and i dont know what to do!
This will sound wierd, but try to think of him as much as possible. Your mind will soon begin to wander, and you'll forget about him.
is it possible for a fracture in an animal to heal on its own? about how long would it take?
It really depends on the fracture. But honestly, it is extremely inhumane to let a pet's fracture heal on its own. Not only is the percentage high for bone retardation (for lack of a better word), but the animal will be in constant extreme pain. I, personally could never let something like that happen to any of my animals. You should take your pet to the vet, as soon as possible. This is an emergency.

this is kinda embassising, but here goes..
ok, so im on a swim team, and i shave down there like once a week or so. my suit would show some hair down there if i didnt.. I usually dont shave all of it, i just leave i little line in the center there, about 1/2 inch wide.. should i shave all of it? is there anyway to reduce the scratching/itching that goes on down there after i shave?? What razor should i use? im currently using shick intuition.. I know that there will be a stubble, but is there anyway to reduse that?
and i was wondering if anyone knew the age you have to get laser removal.. should i try it?? what about waxing down there?? i herd that it hurts really bad, and im very sensitive to pain.. especially down there..lol
sorry i have a lot of questions..
anything will help thanks!!
Unfortunately, there is no way to reduce stubble when you shave.
Most places will allow you to get laser hair removal. I personally recommend it, and it is in fact safer than getting a bikini wax: there are actual doctors doing the laser treatment, and also everything is sterilized, unlike most waxing places. Unfortunately, it is very expensive, ranging from 400-500 dollars, but it is pernament.
Waxing hurts. Bad. And you will have to do it about once a month.
I currently broke up with my lying cheating boyfriend, and I'm interested in getting out there and meeting some new guys to get my mind off of everything that has happened over the past few days.
Me and my friend are dressing up cute and going out tomorrow. We're going as a group of 4-5 friends, but we're the only girls. We're bringing the guys because we're testing the theory that when you're single, no one wants you, but if guys see you with someone else, they're intrigued by you...especially if the guys aren't particularly attractive.
What sort of places can we go where there will be some guys (around the age of 17)? We live in South Carolina, so there isn't a big amount of places, but we were thinking of going to this coffee shop, then to Bellacino's for lunch, and then we're going to hang out at the mall. Are there any other places we should check out?
Hmmm sounds interesting. You can go bowling, ice skating, but I am not so sure you will find a lot of guys in a coffee shop.
Okay so i am hanging out with this guy i really like today. I know he likes me back and last time we hung out (sat) he kissed me.. with toungue. I want to make a move on him if he doesnt make any move on me today. I dont know how i should do it. What is a cute way to just.. kiss him without being like ackward? Also, i am worried about doing it cause maybe he just kissed me that once and thought" Hmm that was nice" but didnt plan on doing it again. I dont want to make it seem like im expecting it from now on (though it would be nice) hah
any answers would be appreciated/. =)
15/f btw
When you greet him, hug him really close, then just when you guys are seperating from the hug, look up into his face, like you expecting a kiss. I almost garantee you that he will kiss you again, but even if he doesn't, just smile at him, and things won't be akward after.
do you get pirates these days? my freind said you do, and they live life on the sea, but what do they do? "gang on boats" is how he describes them. so do you get pirates now?
I personally do not think so. Any kind of pirate would be easily caught with todays helicopters, fast-moving ships, and police boats. Al the victim has to do is call for help, and usually someone will be there in a few hours.
I don't want to brag, I just want to tell the truth. I am thin for my age and height. Every morning, I wake up and go to the bathroom, and my stomach is really sucked in. I like it because I look skinny. Then I eat until it is pushed out to a certain point, then I won't eat for the rest of the day so that my stomach will go back down. I just drink tons of water that just flushes out of my body the next morning, and I eat little things like a box of raisins or a bag of kettle corn, which are only about 100 calories each, so they don't really do anything.
Is this unhealthy or is this normal? Everyone calls me skinny. Half of me says "You are skinny. Don't worry about eating", and the other half says "You are fat and ugly. Look at your stomach. You just ate 2 slices of pizza". I feel guilty after eating large portions.
So is this normal or not, and if it isn't, what advice do you have for me?
Thank you. I'm 17, 5'9", 115 pounds.
You are underweight:
http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
Because your stomach is so sucked in, anything you eat will add volume to your stomach, thus making it look bloated. To solve this, you should gain weight until your stomach is no longer sucked-in looking. It will make your figure look more attractive, and you will be able to eat more without your stomach becoming bloated. Whatching what you eat, or sport, will help keep that weight constant (unchanging) after you have gained enough weight.
To gain some weight start out by eating three small meals a day. Don't count calories, or grams of fat, just eat for the joy of eating. Don't weigh yourself: just look into the mirror.
Hope I helped and good luck!!!

im a 14 yr old boy and my friend died this year and my girlfriend dumped me for a jerk. all i need is a hand to hold and a kiss on the cheek once and a while. is this too much to ask.
p.s. i like to take my relationships slowly for any of you girls out there. call me 615-830-9104
I am really sorry for your loss(es), but as much as I would like to help you out, this website is not some online dating one. I am sure you will find the girl of your dreams, you just have to look around. Great places to look are school, parties, and sports. I wish you luck.
I'm totally clueless on what Hair Straightener to buy. My hair is wavy and it's in between thick and thin hair. My hair is healthy. I want a hair straightener that is at a good price too. My mother probably wouldnt buy me one if it was too expensive. Between $20-$40 is good. Please help me find a good hair straightener that isnt so expensive for my hair type. I dont plan on using it EVERY SINGLE DAY but more than once a week.
Thanks.
wet2straight. It works wonders, and it has different settings, too, plus holes for steam to escape so your hair doesn't get as damaged as it will with most straighteners.
well i got invited to two pool parties and they are all the popular people ones and all the hot guys are going and the popular ones and the guy i like..
i got this really hot bikini but the problem is i have a little bit of a belly its not that bad but im still kind of embarssed by it i dont want all the hot guys making fun of me and then telling all there friends im fat and i shouldnt wear bikini's
i dont want to go on like a non-eating diet i just want to try to loose my belly a little
so if you can i would like some good excersizes to try and maybe a daily schedule of what to eat and what not too
the parties are june 16 and 24
also ppl may say be confident and dont let what ppl say get to u
but i have to worry
please help
Honestly, I think a diet will do nothing for you: you can be skinny, but have a horrible looking belly area. I think you should do excersises.
Do sit ups until you "feel the burn"
Lie on your back near a couch, and put your hands underneath it, lift up you legs to a ninety degree angle.
Crunches, but you won't get great results with them. but if sit ups are too hard for you, you can start out with crunches, but be sure to move on to sit ups.
Remember, how many you do doesn't matter, its how much "burn" you feel.
Hope I helped, have fun and be safe at the party!!!

PS. don't push yourself too hard, even if you don't like your results, remember that you will be wearing a hot bikini, and the guys will probably be looking at your cleavage anyway ;)

okay i do NOT believe in insest in the least. but i have a question. okay is it insest to like a distant distant relative? my friend said it wasnt because she likes her distant distant relative. but i thought that whether it was distant or not it was still insest to like your relative. so my question is, is it insest to like you "distant distant" relative? please help i am super confused.
If you are blood related, then yes it is incest. So even like a fourth, or fifth cousin would be considered incest.
Is it appropriate to like the guy who's your mom's boyfriend's daughter's fiancee's cousin? Becasue I really do like him but I'm not sure if that's too close in the family or anything...your thoughts on this would be appreciated! :D
Lol. I think you should be fine. It's not like you are blood related or anything. The only thing is it might feel a little akward if you guys go out, and then break up, for whatever reason. (I went out with my bff's cousin, and we broke up, and now its extremely akward) I think it might be better to be friends with benefits. (bf/gf, but without the titles). But it is your choice, this is just my opinion. Good luck!!
I was babysitting this ten year old... he was bein a brat and wouldnt go to sleep... my girlfriend was there and we couldnt have any time alone... so we had coke n we did it cause we were gonna have to stay up to watch him... he said he wanted to try so we let him... he started running around and actin like an indian... we got a pipe and some pot and smoked... he wanted to try but when he did he coughed n said he didnt want to do it... i told him if he didnt he would die... so we smoked 3 bowls with him and he got sleepy and went to bed... I feel bad that i gave this kid drugs... His parents never found out... what should i do???
That's cruel, evil, contemptuous!!!! "I feel bad that i gave this kid drugs" YOU FEEL BAD?!?!?!??! You should be feeling MUCH more than that.
First of all, you are not even supposed to have brought drugs to that place (nevermind your dumbass girlfriend). Did you know that it could have killed him???? He's a ten year old!!!! I know some 20 year olds that tried pot for the first time, and got really sick!!!! You probably ruined this little boy's health.
Also, this experience has scarred this boy for life... he didn't want to do it, but you forced him!!! How could you??? Now he's probably going to turn into someone like you, a drug addict, later on in his life.
I really think you do not see the seriousness of what you have done.
Please promise me you will never, EVER babysit again... even if you don't have drugs, who knows what else you are capable of doing?
As to what you should do: go to a therapist. This is important. Going to a therapist might save you from doing other horrible things in the future. Also, tell the boy's parents. He is probably sick with the flu, or so the parents think. This is just the after-effects of smoking pot. Also, the parents will need to take their ten-year old to the therapist, to treat him for the emotional trauma he has suffered.
I know this is super embarassing, and this is the last thing you want to do, but you need to face the consequences of your actions. You have to tell the boy's parents... even you don't, they will find out. It is better to tell them yourself, it will somewhat save you from losing your dignity.
