You should talk to your friend about this to see if it's alright to go out with him. Also, it's not his fault that he likes you instead of your friends. Hope I helped and good luck :)

are they worth the pain and money for the sake of nice straight teeth?

Yep, braces are definitely worth it. Once you get your braces, its only gonna hurt for the first few appointments because your orthodontist tightens the wires and your teeth move and causes a little bit of pain. I only had my braces on for a year and a half and now I juts have to wear my retainer to bed until January of 2005. Hope I helped and if you have any other questions regarding to braces, feel free to drop them in my inbox and I'll be glad to answer them :)

I have a bff, and a really good friend. My bff and I are EXTREMELY close. My really good friend gets all mad and jealous. What should i do?

You have to spend some time with her. What if your BFF and your really good friend spent a lot of time together without you, how would you feel? You should spend one day with your BFF and the other day with your really good friend. Also, you could spend some time with both of them at the same time but you have to make sure your really good friend is all right with it. Hope I helped :)

Yea, a lot of dads do that to their child(ren). But if my dad did that to me, I would think it's really retarded. If you wanna get back at him, while he's watching tv, switch the channel to your favorite channel and tell him that the channel that he was watching, you don't like it. Hope I helped :)

Do women find a guy with a hairy chest attractive? I'm 24, hairy, but not out of control hairy. I'm not overtly self-conscious, but I get the feeling that body hair is considered unattractive. ???
Don't hold back. I want real answers. Hopefully, from real women. Thanks.

I'm only 14 but guys who have a hairy chest are somewhat attractive. But I only like a little bit of hair, hair that you can't see lol. Most of the time, hairy chests are gross but that's my opinion. Don't worry, hair is normal. Hope I helped :)

Well there is this guy in my dance class ( I swear he's not gay) and I like him a lot and all my dance friends say he likes me and I like him too, and I've told my best friend about him and she said make a move but i don't know if it's right for a girl to make a move on a guy( I don't really think I'll be good at it), plus i think he has a girlfriend and another girl likes him in class(she's my friend too) what should i do...

Maybe while you are dancing, you could stand next to him and start talking to him. Ask him if he's single and if he is, tell him to meet up with you after class or something and ask him if he likes you. If he does, then make your move girl! Hope I helped and good luck :)

Just be confident in yourself and you'll have friends in no time. When you are walking down the hall, you could like say "hi" to someone I guess. Sorry if this isn't helping it's just I'm not shy and I can't think of anything at this moment. Hope I helped :)

ok.. my grandma is really depressed but when she is like this all she does is drink wut do i do to tell her that by her drinkin its ruining our family... i just wanna be a family again HELP!!

When your grandma is sober, talk to her and tell her that it hurts you and your family members that she drinks when she's depressed. If you feel that you can't do this alone, bring a cousin or sibling to back you up. Hope I helped and good luck :)

okay, i play the guitar and whenever i go to play a chord like an E chord or an E m chord my wrist clicks especially if i play any notes up that far on the guitar neck it doesn't hurt but it's just weird. and whenever i do that hand motion for 'come here' with one hand where you move it back and forth.. it clicks really loud. is there something wrong with my wrist? or is this normal

Yep, it's normal. This happens to some people who play guitar. But don't worry, it's normal for your wrist to click. Hope I helped :)

You should tell her that you like her and when she dumps this guy that she is going out, maybe she'll go out with you. Also, hang around her more just being friends. Always be confident and yourself. Hope I helped and good luck :)

Hello, over the summer a few of my freckles got REALLY dark on my face, and I don't like the way it looks. I heard that lemon juice works... is it true? How much would I put on? And how often?

Umm, yeah I think it works. Just dab the lemon juice on a cotton ball and rub it over your freckles and just leave it on for a few minutes I guess. Also, you should probably do it about 2 times a day 3-4 times a week. Hope I helped :)

I lost my voice about a month ago when I went to a singing camp. I had basically overused my voice. Usually I am asked to sing at weddings and such, so my voice is important to me as a way to earn money and express myself. However, after my voice came back after losing it, it has changed. It almost seems for airy, or not as strong. I feel like I forgot how to sing in a way. This has never happened before. I can still sing, but it wasn't as good as it was. Any suggestions on how to build my voice back up to its full potential?

Umm, maybe you could go to a singer instructor or singing classes. Also, maybe if you drink lots of water, it'll help? Sorry, I can't sing and I don't know that much of music. Hope I helped :)
