hi im turning 17 soon......not at school how do i build my confidence up to become an actor and can you still be an actor if you are not in school do you have to be a good spelling preson or brainy any think like that.......how hard is it to be an actor.

hey, well im sure that many of us dont know whats it like to be an actor. you dont have to be a good speller or be smart. you need to get yourself out there and go to casting calls.

Um this is weird but, I have to take birth control because of a personal problem. Well, basically, take the pink pills I'm fine, then take the four white pills I get my period, then take the pink again and its gone. I have to go somewhere next weekend and I'm supposed to take the white pills that weekend. I can't run around on my period, so would it harm me if I took those now and just change it around some? Sorry its weird.... ?_?

hey, well i wouldnt change the doctors orders. you should call your doctor and find out if that would be okay.

i just broke up with my bf of 1 year and 2 months. it started out that i was really annoyed with him and all of that but now i think i made a mistake..this is not the first time this has happend. before we broke up then got back together because i thought i liked someone else..i dont know though i just cant stop crying and why is it now that i realize how good he was to me. i cant help but think that if i keep going back to him then breaking up with him that it just isnt meant to be..but i still love him. now we never talk but he talks to my friends like nothing is wrong and i hate that. he acts like he dosnt even care that we have broken up and that really hurts for some reason. There is also this other guy that i have been talking to and we both really like eachother and are planning to hang out but not like jumping into things just hanging out(he dosnt go to my school). but he is out of town right now so i cant talk to him about how im feeling like usual ..I guess my question is should i go back out with my ex or how do i get over it..this is my first long term relationship so i dont know how to get through it.

hey, well maybe he does care and he just doesnt want to look "weak" in front of his friends. i mean you broke up with him and guys hate showing there feelings and being sensitive in front of people because they think that if they cry than there not a "man" anymore. anyways i bet he does really care. you seem to have serious feelings for this guy, so talk to him. tell him that you love him and that it was a HUGE mistake breaking up. if he cares for you, he will listen. but that guy that your suppose to hangout with is a problem. you cant like him AND your boyfriend. so if your going to continue to have feelings for him, dont talk to your ex about getting back together. think wisely about what you want to do :].

I MAY have left a tampon in, and accidentially put another one in while the first was still in but i am not sure. I know that's horrible but is there a way to see if one is still in? Would the string be hanging out still? Help =/

hey, well that has happend to me twice without even realizing it. what happened was, when i felt it was time to change my tampon [at this time i never knew anything about the second one being in] i took it out and the [sorry if this is graphic] blood from the 2nd tampon that i put it got stuck to the string from the first tampon and they pulled out together. i would take it out immediately and see if that happens to you. if it doesnt even tho its gross, you need to stick your fingers up there and check for one. you need to do that because tampons can get stuck in there and the strings also, and then you will need an operation to get it out.

you know those cute little icons you can put on your myspace? like the little saying or pictures. well i want to put a bunch on like in a bundle, not just going down. i want them to all be like squished together. i know you can make them center, but they stll just go down in a row. if this isnt making any sense, my myspace is www.myspace.com/andrea1626, if you go there you'll see what i mean about the icons going down. please help me! thanks!

hey, well what you have to do is put before the copy and pasted code and then put after the copy pasted code. it has to be after each icon code :].

okay well yeah i am african american so i do have thick hair
but at the time its not very thick
i am about to wash it
and if you african american hair too i'd really like your advice
when i get out what should i do to it
blow dry
air dry then straightener
what?

or just straight to straightener
but the thing is i want my hair to grow
and i heard by using straightener it can make your hair fall out by putting to much heat on it
but that is like the only way to get my hair straight
so yeah,
advice :]

hey, well straightening your hair is totally bad for you. it can cause split ends and it kills your hair. if your hair is dead, it wont grow. what i think you should do is get straightening balm and rub in all through your wet hair. take a brush and blowdry it with the brush [making the blowdryer touching the brush and really giving your hair a good dry]. spray protectant spray on your hair next. then straighten it. good luck :].

15/m/vancouver, canada

my older brother(17) is physically abusive of me, he throws stuff at me, punches me, kicks me, and pulls my hair and i really dont know why he does it. i cant tell my parents about it because my grandmother is on his side and shell just deny everything that i say, my sisters wont do anything about it either because they dont want to get punished. im really getting sick of this, physically and mentally. my parents wont belive me even if i show them the bruises, my grandmother just tells them that im a clutz and everything and that its nothing to worry about. i dont want to run away from home because its illegal. i really want to stay with my family and i know that if i get a restraining order from him theyd basically just banish me. i cant get emancipated because i have no job, and i dont want to go to a foster home. i need an escape from my hectic life at home, but im scared. what should i do?

hey, well keeping it quiet is totally wrong. i think that the next time your brother does it and the bruises are fresh that you call the police. you might think that it will make your home life worse, but having someone know about it and help you will pay off so much. as for the living situations, why not live with another relative? surely there is someone else. you could also seek counciling, if your starting to be hurt mentally. good luck :].

i know they are really expensive so i was wondering where i could get a fake one that doesnt cost a lot ..and that i can buy in store or in person.. cause i dont like buying online. thanks!

hey, well you know how older people have like tupperware partys? well they have designer partys too! you should search in the phonebooks and have the people come to your house. they bring designer bags and earrings etc! invite your friends over and have one. there fun :].

14/f
i shilled with this guy, whos a good friend all weekend and i told him that i have my ex a handjob and such (its kind of a secret at our school, only a few people know) and i told him because i trusted him. not alot of people know that i would ever do that.
so the other day on AIM he asked me if id ever get back with my ex, and i said yes, then he asked if before the guy asked me out (if he did anyway, idk if he will) if i would kiss him (first kiss) and maybe go futher.

and i was like umm...are you serious?
and he said yes.

do you think he likes me as more than a friend or not?

hey, yes i think that he has some feelings for you. if he didn`t he wouldn`t be so interested and concerned about your past. he also wouldn`t mind if you still had feelings for him or if you would ever get back with your ex :].

What is the best way to scrunch my hair and the products to use?

hey, try this link.

http://www.virtualhaircare.com.au/virtual%20salon/blow%20and%20style/scrunchdry.html

this is what a diffuser looks like.

http://www.muimports.com.au/images/Diffuser%20Finger%20Soft%20Styler.jpg

they usually come with blowdryers, but you can get them seperately at beauty supply stores such as http://www.sallybeauty.com

just for the fact that everyones hair is different, im not going to recommend a certain product. but i do like pantene and aussie.

please help, i got a really bad haircut- short and uneven. please give me tips or styles i can use until i get my hair fixed thanks!

hey, well you can always go to a different hair salon and have them fix it up the best that they can. it happened to my friend too before and thats what she did. she also got new changes so it wasn`t as noticeable. maybe try that. get bangs/sidebangs or dye it/highlights. also by straightening your hair appears longer, so avoid wearing it curly. ponytails are also cute with short hair. you could try a more punk look to make it less noticeable also, like this :].

hi i know this is really long buti just need to know!! im 16 and a soph in hs..i like this girl that im really close friends with alot and ive told her before how i feel and she said she just doesnt want to risk our friendship...i told her i would never let that happen but she said she didnt kno and now she has a senior bf of about 4 months and i really care for her..ive tried other girls but none compare to her..thers just something about her that keeps pulling me back...should i tell her and risk getting her away from her boyfriend and maybe with me or do i risk it and have the possibility of ruining a chance of her...ps we are supposed to hang out this comming weekend so should i do it now or after we hang out or when we hang out..thanks so much in advance

hey, well you told her that you had feelings for you and obviously she wasn`t interested if she now has a senior boyfriend [no offense]. i think that you would definately ruin the friendship if you tried to come between her and her boyfriend. trust me, life will be better when your friends with her, rather than not speaking at all and that will happen if you get between her and her boyfriend. just stay out of it completly and if your meant to be, things will work out perfectly :].

I recently received the prom dress that I ordered online, and the top part is too small, as in it won't zipper up the whole way [here's the back of the dress http://www.loralie.com/images/Product/Dresses/Back/7461b.jpg ]. I got a size 10 and it fits fine everywhere else except for the bust and a bit below [I have a really big and broad chest :/ ], so a larger size would be loose everywhere else. I cannot return/exchange it, it was a sale rack item so they won't take it back. I'd really rather not just buy another dress, plus this one was a decent price. Are there places where they can somehow make the dress wider? Like, would bridal shops or other tailor shops [I live in central PA] be able to alter my dress?

Thank you for any advice.

hey, yes you can get the dress bigger/wider. bridal shops are probably the best way to go.

I'm 13 and I am pretty develpoed in the hips and brests.I haven't gotten my period yet and I just got a lot of brown guck in my under wear...its not poop...don't smell like it and its not in the right place on my underwear to be poop but it looks like liquid poop(in colour) could this be my period ? I wanna be sure before I tell my mom.

hey, well people get there period when there body is fully ready. you say your developed, so that isn`t an issue, so why would you actually want it? it sucks, but happy you don`t have it lol. but i think that is early signs of your period. if it bothers you, wear a thin pantiliner.
