I'm insert name. I've been on this site for a couple of years.I love: playing music, reading, and Jolly Ranchers.
I hate: purple, avocados, and cults.
I tell: the truth.
advice
How long would it take to gain about 30-45 ponds? I eat fruits and fatty foods but weigh about 110 or something close? Don't tell me "oh you don't need to gain weight" I just need a straight forward answer.
It always depends, but at least a couple of months. It will help if you do weight training in that time- that makes it healthy weight instead of fat.
two books of the same genre? any ideas. only novels. no musicals or plays. thanks so much. i want to compare them.
Two of my favorites that can be compared are:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Chbosky) and Speak (Anderson).

I'm having a problem. i really like bright colors in my cloths and don't mind labels such as Hollister,Abercrombie,ect... except i have been wearing more of ( i hate labels but bare with me) "emo" persuasion of clothing for a long time. How could i keep both styles without being a poser? I have been called every name in the book emo,cutter,goth.... im just ready to add different types of clothing into my wardrobe. any advice on a happy medium? thanks

I have a problem kind of like yours. I don't really fit into a specific group but I like black just as much as I like color. Try to limit yourself to only two black articles of clothing per week. I know a lot of people that like "emo" clothes as much as they like Abercrombie, and that seems to work for them.
my hair has been greasy in the roots and uner-layers for a few months now.
it's making me mad because i now have to limilt the way i wear my hair so people don't see the grease.
it was never like that before.
i don't remember how i washed it before but now i wash it about 5-6 times a week and i scrub the shampoo on parts of my scalp, not my actual hair.
i don't know what to do !?
SO IM ASKING..
is their a proper way to wash your hair ?
where should you put the shampoo exactly ?
how long should you keep it in there for ?
what temperture of water should you use ?
how long should you rinse for ?
how long should the total shower take ?
should you put the shampoo on your actual hair or just the scalp ?
what shampoo should i use ?
haha, sorry i went a little over-board with the questions. you don't have to answer all of them. i am just curious to know how you wash your hair & what i should do.
THANKS !
Wow, lots of questions, haha. I think your problems lies in the conditioner (if you use conditioner, or if you don't then just pretend I'm talking about shampoo).
The scrubbing of the scalp might have a little bit to do with it. Try not doing that next time you take a shower.
Okay, if you use conditioner, then make sure that you don't apply it directly to the roots. Only use it for the length of your hair, and make sure you wash it out all the way. Supposedly it helps if you rinse in cold water, but that gives me chill bumps so do what you want. Also, the fact that you wash your hair 5-6 times a week may have something to do with it. Try only washing every other day. I know it sounds gross, but over time it will get better. It sounds like by scrubbing your scalp, you're taking the natural oils out of your scalp, and it's trying to overreplenish it (the grease). Rinse for as long as you need to! You can never rinse too much :) And next time you need to buy shampoo, try looking for a shampoo for oily scalps. That might help too, but I truly believe that the scrubbing of the scalp has a LOT to do with it. So hopefully your hair will get better!
EDIT: Yep! I mean, keep washing your roots and stuff, but don't focus as much on your scalp :)

Ive had depression for about a year and i have reached my breaking point. I constantly feel that my place in this world should be filled by a more worthy individual. I'm always paranoid and stressed even over the most insignificant things. I take medication but it isn't working that well. Mt school situation isn't much better. I'm constantly hassled for my appearance and the lack of male friends i have. I have trust issues as well which would fall with paranoid. Any advice helps on the subject..... thank you.

Hey, I'm taking a psychology class, and I'm no expert, but I want you to know that you are worth much more than you think. You aren't condemned to what you think of yourself. If your medication isn't working, that can be fixed. I really want you to go to your doctor and tell them that the medication isn't working. They can find something that will work, that will make your life a whole heck of a lot easier. Please, please, please seek help. There are people who can make things better for you. And as for the lowlifes who give you trouble, why do they matter? They only tear people down to make themselves feel better. I hope things get better for you.
So I was just wondering, if you're a Freshman in high school and you go out with a Senior, and you two stay together for a while, is that illegal?
It would only be illegal if the senior is 18 (legally an adult) and if they have sex, in MOST states but not all. It's called statutory rape, but that's only if sexual relations are involved. So if the relationship is not sexual and your parents are okay with it, you are all good.
so, im a christain. i've always been, but latley, ive really been getting into it since my boyfriend started bring me to youth group. and i know that having sex before marriage is wrong, and i was just wondering, is it just what YOU yourself think sex is thats wrong? or is it just touching and stuff thats wrong. because thats what me and my boyfriend do. we just touch and stuff, but we havent actually had sex. so does it just count on your beliefs? because me, i think that if you actually have sex before marriage, its wrong. thanks alot for your help!
Well, it differs from person to person, but many of my friends who are Christians (and I agree with them) think that sex before marriage is indeed wrong. That entails actual intercourse as well as "other stuff"... oral, etc. I think that stuff should be between a man and a woman who are married. And as far as stuff like kissing or whatever, that's fine, as long as you're tactful about it. I mean, nobody wants to see you swap spit with someone for twenty minutes in between classes or anything. That's not really something that you should do in really public areas, but that's common sense, too. Just be in good taste- don't be trashy about the things you and your boyfriend do, you know? Use your best judgment about things like that. That's where the different beliefs come in; I've heard about people saving their first kiss ever for when they get married. Crazy, right? At least they're not going to get STDs or something. But yeah, generally speaking, actually having sex is wrong and the other things like touching are in the "gray area" where you need to use your best judgment.
I got my period for the first time back in November.
(i'm 14/f, by the way, 15 in a little over 4 weeks) Anyways, my mom doesn't know yet. I don't know how to tell her, because i'm too embarrassed! She said she's thinking about taking me to the doctor if i don't get it (or tell her about it) soon.
Any tips on how to tell her? Thanks soo much!!!!!!!
The next time you have a period, just say, "Hey Mom, I finally got my period." That's the easiest way, and you'll just have to get the courage to say it sometime or another. She'll never have to know that you started in November, and that way you won't have to go to the doctor.
i'm turning 16 in december and i'm planning a sweet sixteen [or will be soon].
i don't really want a theme party, but i don't want something too simple. i want it to be memorable and not tacky.
my mom is renting a dance hall and there's gonna be a dj and stuff, but i have a few questions.
1. is it better to have a sit-down dinner or buffet?
2. is it kind of corny to have like the macarena and cha cha slide and other things like that to get people involved?
3. favors. i have no idea what to get. my mom said something filled with like candies but i don't know if i want to make my favor edible.
4. entrance ideas?
1. I think a buffet would be better.
2. Those are really fun, so play them! Also, the YMCA is pretty sweet :)
3. I think that if you had edible favors that people would be really happy with that. I know my friends would. So little bags of candy and stuff is cool. I believe you can get little dinner mints and stuff with your initials in them... if you want to go all out or something.
4. The best entrances are on the MTV show "My Super Sweet 16" so you can get some awesome ideas from that. Many of those are way too extravagant for people who actually know the meaning of the word "budget", but maybe you could borrow somebody's sports car. Haha.
Here are some more tips:

(these are not in any order)
Guy #1- I've only known him for 1 year, sits next to me in one of my classes. We have some small talk. Absolutly gorgous! He's also a little shy
Guy #2- In my gym class, really nice but totally shy and not loud. My best friend likes him too. I've met him this year, never had a real convo with him.
guy #3- I've had a crush on him for 3 years. Gave him a nickname. He's really shy, but cute. very athletic. He knows I like him. I went out with his friend once. Never really had a convo with him.
help! I don't know what to do! I like all 3 of them but I don't know which guy would be better for me. thank's
Hmm, if your best friend likes Guy 2, you should probably stay away from him because you don't want to hurt her feelings or anything. If Guy 3 knows that you like him, does he act like he likes you? If so, then pursue that. But if he doesn't, then start talking to Guy 1 more and see how it works out. They both sound like nice people. Ask your best friend what she thinks about Guy 1 and Guy 3 and she may be able to help you a little bit.
i took plan b last month, and my period was earlier than it usually is, and it was shorter too. is there any way that it might have messed with my next period? like will it be later....? or what?
Plan B has a crapload of hormones in it, so it's normal for your period to be off. There's not really a way to tell about your next period. I would assume that it will be normal, but you never know. Obviously since you just had a period you're not pregnant, so you don't have much to worry about :)
I have my period during a big dance! So like where do i put everything? I'm not wearing boots so i can't put it in there. I can't bring a purse because that would be tacky. SO WHERE DO I PUT IT?!
Could you put a tampon in your bra/underwear? Tampax makes those really small ones that might fit. Use a tampon and a pad at the same time, and then you can go to the bathroom when it's time to remove the tampon. That should work for several hours. You could even wear two pads, and just take the top one off when you need to. It sounds weird but I've had to do it and it works. I hope you have fun at your dance!
we have to do a project for chemistry where we make a stuffed animal mole with a theme. we have to replace part of the word with mole.
ex. MOLErina (ballerina)
ex. draco MOLEfoy (draco malfoy)
those are already used though. anyone have any ideas!?
I just saw a question similar to this on Yahoo Answers, and one of the good suggestions was:
GuacaMOLE (like a Latin mole)
Double Mole Seven (James Bond)
Molympic Gold Medalist
And here are some more puns you could work with:

how do leap year birthdays work?
My friend has a leap year birthday (he skipped school today because it's such a "rare" occasion...) and he normally celebrates on the 28th. Technically, he just turned 4 :)

Yeah, it's a cross between bright and neon.
It seems like I can't wear ANY shirt anymore. I look too top heavy or that I gained 10 pounds. I'm not sure what kind of shirt would flatter my chest or body overall. I was told to get a bra minimizer but I don't know where to get one and how well it works.. Any tips? Someone told me to wear babydoll shirts but it makes me look pregnant. I no longer fit in most of my shirts because they are an extra small haha. So I'm going to go out to buy some basics [like from Forever21] but I don't know exactly what to get that would make my boobs look smaller
One of my good friends is like you, and she always wears v-neck shirts (v-neck sweaters are really cute) with a tank top underneath. I've also heard that if you wear a sports bra as well as a regular bra, it makes your boobs look not as big. I've never tried it because I don't have that problem. Anyway, she doesn't really wear graphic tees and tends to stick with solid colors- like she'll wear a brown scoop neck shirt over a pink tank top with jeans or something. Stay away from hoodies.
I am taking the SATs for the very first time on Saturday. I'm a little nervous...How long is it? I've heard so many different answers. Any advice or helpful tips from past experience?
It generally takes four hours. Remember that it's not a test to see how smart you are- it's a test to see if you know how to take tests. By that I mean if you know how to use reasoning and the process of elimination you will do fine. There's not really a way to study for it; it's just about your test taking skills. Get enough sleep, eat a good breakfast, and take some deep breaths. If you generally make good grades on tests (when you study hard for them), then you will do fine on the SAT.
I KNOW ITS LONG, BUT PLEASE PLEASE ITS VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ALL AND PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME!
i dont have school for the next 2 weeks and today i went to see my mom at work when i got there she was talking on the phone in a veryy flirtatious way. if you knew my mom u knew she has a very strong voice and is often being mean to people. but on the other hand she was actually laughing at what the person on the other line said and was being verrry flirty and talking in a low voice. i listened more and i KNew it was a guy. i also knew it wasn't someone that i knew because that was not the way she usually talks to people. her and my dad have been married for about 19 years now. they always say that they dont belive in gettin divorce and that they love eachother very much. also this might sounds very discusting but i have heard them have sex a lot recently because i cant sleep so i can hear evrything in my house. so then i walked into her room and she went to the bathroom as i got my chance i checked her phonee and this number had called her and she had been takling for about 1/2 n hr. i also checked her messages and in her inbox this number had sent to messages, on saying "what else lady" and the second "can i call you" the only perosn that calls my mom lady is my dad in a cute way sort of saying babe but i knew it wasnt my dad because that is not his cell number nd it would be stupid for him to secretly have another one. the messages in her outbox to him where "uhmm lemme think about it" and "okay call me for like 2 secs" those '2 secs' turned into 1.2 n hr. later when we got home i went to check her mesages and her calls again and she had deleted all of it! meaning she didn't want anyyone seeing that! i wrote down the number before when she was in the bathroom on my leg so she wouldnt see it. i later called it a man that i have neverr heard his voice before picked up. i go everywhere with my parents a lot so i know of all their friends and people around them. i really think she's cheating, WHAT SHOULD I DO? my mom is very religious and i KNOW my dad is crazy and completely in LOVE with her, i dont want to hurt him, but i feel as though im hurtin ghim more by keeping it from him, please HELP.
Don't say anything about it to your dad until you've first talked to your mom about it. And be absolutely sure, if you're going to say anything to her. It's your mom's job to tell your dad if it is happening, which is hard, but it's the way to go. Hopefully it's all just a big misunderstanding, but since you don't have school for a while, "stalk" your mom and see if any more suspicious things happen. Hopefully right now things are just circumstantial and it just seems like she's cheating. If more stuff happens, inquire about it... tell her that if she really is cheating, that she needs to tell your dad. Don't tell your dad unless you are 100 percent positive that she's cheating because you don't want to create a problem where there might not be one. I hope everything turns out okay for you!

i want to know names of colleges that i can learn more about space science in.Can you help?
Go to collegeboard.com and use the College Search features. You can search by majors, regions, size, etc. Ultimately, I'm thinking that one of the best colleges to learn about space science would be the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Well, I'm 5'6 1/2" and I weigh somewhere around 135-140. I was just wondering if that's average or overweight? A lot of people say,"Oh my gosh, you're a stick! You look like you weigh 110 pounds!" but I know that I'm not that skinny, I look like it, but I'm not. So, am I overweight for my height!? Thank you!
You are healthy for your height. A teacher told me once that your ideal weight is the weight that you feel most comfortable at, not necessarily a range of numbers. As far as what people say about your weight... don't listen to them because they don't know what's best for you; only you do.
