Wikipedia is great for that. Do your own research.

how much does it cost to get laser freckle removal & does it hurt?
DONT SAY FRECKALES ARE ADORABLE. because i have them ALL over my face & arms and im SICK of them. (link)
|
I'm not sure about freckle removal but I know other laser processes are in the hundreds of dollars range.
I have freckles all over too and I've wanted to get rid of them before but I like them now. Your face wouldn't look the same without them.

so does anyone know where i can read the new moon by stephanie meyer for free on the internet?? thanks! (link)
|
Having the full books online is illegal because of copyright unless Stephenie Meyer and her publishing company put it up and that wouldn't lead to good book sales, now would it?
You could always check them out at the library if you don't want to pay for it.
Good luck and enjoy the books,

I'm 17/F
I've had my period since I was in sixth grade. I'm a senior now..
What I've realized from having it..
is that a week before I get it,
I get severely moody, and irritable,
and its almost like I'm depressed for a week,
and then when I get my period I'm not moody, I'm normal. And maybe this is normal? But I just get so down and in a funk before I get it, it just doesn't seem like something thats "normal" you know?
It makes relationships with people difficult because for one week, I'm really irritable and easily angered. And it causes unnecessary fights or arguments, that lead to me in the end always apologizing. I try to control it, but its just.. not exactly working.
Is this normal? What should I do? (link)

It's completely normal, it's just a lovely perk of PMS. PMS can cause physical and emotional pain, such as the kind your suffering (moody, depressed, irritable, etc) or cramping, back and muscle ache, soreness of your breasts, etc. It's hard to control the emotional side effects of PMS, but you can do things like exercise (it's proven that exercising boosts your mood and makes cramps less severe) or take a hot bath or go for a walk to collect yourself.
There are birth control pills that regulate your hormones and make both factors of PMS less severe or even not happen. You can talk to your doctor about that.
Tell your friends when your PMSing and ask them to be understanding. That's really all you can do. Trust me, every girl has been there.
Good luck,

i want something cool to do with my friends we don't have cars but were able to get around i have two guy friends n a girl we've been bowling n to the movies but what other things can we do? (link)
|
Hmm...
Mini golf? Laser tag? Maybe you could plan a scavenger hunt? You could get a bunch of people together and have a skateboard racing tournament or something silly haha. Have any places near you that have hayrides or haunted houses? Be creative and think out of the box.
Have fun!

How much will it take for my cherry to pop? becuase im not even sure that i have one becuase when i masturbate and finger my self i can stick it super far up and nothing pops?
Do i just not even have one? (link)
|
It's different for every girl. It can be broken by things like sports, horse back riding, inserting a tampon, or sex. Sometimes the hymen (your cherry) is in a position where it will never be popped. Some girls have thinner hymen skin then others, so the amount of force needed to break it is unknown.

Also is There Such Thing As A Pre-period Because My Cousin Says She Had A Pre-period Because She Hasnt Had HEr Period IN LIke Forever And She Started When She Was 12 And Is Now 14! Thanks For Ur Answers In Advance! (link)

It's perfectly normal to skip months at a time. I know people who skip the summer, people who even got their period once and didnt get it again for a year. Your young and your body is getting used to these changes that puberty brings and some people aren't regular til they are out of their teenage years.
Good luck,

So i am new to my school. Well on like the third week of school i noticed this guy in class named stephen. Well he kept looking at me and well i like it so i didnt complain. Well he hangs around with this girl april alot and it is now the 10th week of school. well i started giving him hugs because well i kinda liked him. everytime we saw each other he would give me a hug. But he does that to every girl. Well last week i added him on myspace and he asked me to do his about me..so i did it and he has a pic of me right above his about me. I felt special but then he had this girl name tiffany do it too. Well I asked him to do mine like 3 days ago and he did. He flirts with me at school telling me that my profile is sexy. At lunch today he came up and gave me a big hug. and kept coming up to me and talking.Do you think he likes me. I really like him. If i tell him i like him do you think it will mess up our friend ship? I cant stop thinking about him. He wanted me to hang with him during our break but I couldnt so he called me once and we talked for like 30 mins then he had to go. He messages me everytime he sees me on myspace..what do you think? (link)

I think he's deffinitely into, but if he acts simillair with other girls then he may not be looking for a relationship right now, and playing the field. Try to drop hints that you wanna go out with him (ask him if hes seen a certain movie and if he hasnt say we should see it together) and see his reaction. Let him know that your solely interested in him. He should feel comfortable making a move if he knows you feel the same way. You could try asking one of his friends if he's ever mentioned you.
Good luck!

I am getting my hair hilighted with blonde streaks this saurday. My color right now is medium brown. I am scared to see how it will turn out though. My friends say they like it the way it is. I am scared that it will be a drastic change and i am scared to see if my boyfriend will like it. I don't want everybody to say they like it. I know i shouldn't care what people think but i do and thats just me. My boyfriend is very important to me and i don't want him to say "oh yeah, i like it." but in his mind say " i like it better the other way." I don't know what to do. I don't want to not like it either though. (link)
|
Do what you want, it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it. Blonde is common for highlights and you can't really go wrong with it or look bad with it. If your nervous try a dirty blonde color or just do thinner highlights. There is wash out color you can get to see what it would look like but it isn't totally realistic and takes more then one wash to get it out so be careful.
Good luck!

Okay, so I come from a Muslim family.
We believe that having sex is only allowed after marriage.
My mother and father have been divorced for about 8 years now, since I was around 7.
None of them have gotten remarried.
However, my mom has had this so called "boyfriend" for some time now, maybe 2 years.
He is a lot younger than her, by about 8 years. He's 37.
I don't really like him. There have been a few incidents where my mom was fighting with him and was crying because she believed he was cheating on her.
My mother has many self esteem issues, she thinks she is fat and ugly, etc, which makes it only more likely that she think he is cheating on her.
If you ask me, I would say he probably was cheating, as he is quite cute, young, and healthy.
Anyways, for almost 3 months now, I have been waking up in the middle of the night to the sounds of them having sex.
I am absolutely HORRIFIED and DISGUSTED by it.
Sometimes they do it in the room RIGHT NEXT to mine, and other times they do it downstairs.
They are extremely loud and it's always at times like 3 or 4 in the morning. Last time was at 6 in the morning...
I was waking up early to do my homework and that's what I heard!
That time I threw a water bottle at the door because I could not stand it anymore.
Other than that, I have not said or done anything.
Sometimes when I am cleaning the house I find male or even female condoms in her drawers.
Just last week I saw an opened female condom on the floor near the garbage can......
However, I believe they are both drunk when they do it. I don't really know if this man is an alcoholic but I know that my mom sure likes that vodka.
There was even an incident a couple of months ago when I went downstairs to get some water, and my mom attempted to hide him in our breakfast room, which is the same place where the water bottles are.
I saw him and I got really angry, I said "WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" and went upstairs.
It seemed like they were both drunk though.
Anyways, I would really like some help with this subject.
I find it very disturbing and I cannot withstand it any longer.
Please help me!

All you can do is talk to your mom. Tell her it makes you uncomfortable to hear the two of them having sex and see him in your house at odd hours. If she won't change her behavior, purposely walk in on them. He won't feel comfortable being naked at your house if he's interrupted.
If all else fails, try investing in some ear plugs.
Good luck,
-Abby

I'm in band, and so is the guy I like; we're in the same section and we're both section leaders so we are around each other a lot. He jokes around a lot with me, and he talks to me a lot. But I don't know if he is interested. He has my number but we don't talk much, we text on occasion, only really if it's about something important. It's hard to tell because he's really outgoing around his friends but I think he might be shy around girls. He's never had a girlfriend, but he's still pretty cute. How would I be able to tell if he likes me back? (link)
|
Pay attention and see if he acts differently with you then other girls. Some guys are just flirty with all girls. If your talking and having a good time, tell him casually "your so funny, we should hang out some time." or something like that. See if he's into it.
Good luck,

I know this is a crazy title but anywayz, I need to know what can I do to tighten up my thighs, I have like "big thighs" and there shaky LOL! so I want to know what kinds of exercises can I do to tighten them, and also what kind of exercises can I do to flatten my stomach like Cassie's or Beyonce's Lol thanks (link)
|
For your thighs, squats and lunges are very effective. Also an exercise I like that I saw in a work out video (not sure of the name) is where you lie on the floor, plant your feet on the ground as you are reclined, and lift your hips and butt up and down or pulses. Squeeze your abs while you do that too.
For your abs I would do some crunches and hold a plank position for atleast 30 seconds at a time to work your core. You can also do a pilates move and lie on the ground, lift your head, neck, and your shoulders off the ground while keeping lower back flat. Lift your feet a couple inches off the ground and hold it. You can pulse your feet or do a bicycle motion.
Every work out needs cardio, so you could run around the block, jump rope, etc.
Good luck,

ok so saturday night is homecoming and my dress is strapless and i have quite a tan line. so my question is how do i get rid of it before saturday night (link)
|
You could go tanning and put sunblock on tanned areas so the lighter area could get darker, but that could work out badly and end up with a dark area where you once had tan lines.
You could try tanning lotion/spray that can be scrubbed off if you dont like the effect. I have a formal saturday night and I'm facing the same problem =P
Good luck,

are you supposed to wear a mum to the football game? (link)

I'm not sure what it's like where you live, but in PA (in the US) people wear jeans, school shirts/hoodies etc. or something they would wear to go out on a friday night. Nothing special.
Good luck,

Ok so me and my best friend from college just discovered that we like eachother. The problem with it is he has a girlfriend of two years and he wants to break up with her but he cant for some reason. We've been hanging out alot and its getting harder for me to be around him because i know he still has a girlfriend. He still hasnt broke up with her and i have been wondering why not. What do i do about this situation? (link)
|
Even though you really like him, if he's attatched to his girlfriend it won't make for a good relationship. Talk to him about it and ask him if he plans on breaking up with his girlfriend. Unless he's positive and sure that he likes you, don't get involved in a situation that usually ends painfully.
Good luck,
-Abby

So i just got a new dog yesterday! I love it we adopted it and it is so cute. Its names is Lily. Anyways we also have a cat that we have had for 16 years. currently we have the dog in a cage in the garage b.c that is what the lady said to do becuase it is not house trained. so today to try it out we brought lily in the house and my cat freaked out. he started hissing and crying and almost attacked lily. What should we do to get the cat adjusted to lily. I want to bring lily inside so she doesnt have to sleep in the garage. (link)
|
My cat had to adjust to our two dogs as well. Once your cat get's used to Lily's prescence in the house, he will most likely leave the dog alone. Try giving the cat something that smells like your puppy, like a blanket she slept on. Later, leave the dog in the cage and bring the cat into the garage and let them see each other.
Adjustment will take time and if your cat really doesn't like the dog, he will make sure to stay out of Lily's way. Our cat even plays around with the dogs now.
Good luck and congrats to the new puppy!

Well I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have started treatments and, the treatments take a lot of energy out of me and i just dont feel the same, my fiancee is horny almost everynight i can say babe im tired i just want to go to bed but then as soon as we go to bed he starts trying things, I feel bad telling him no, so I give in.... Its early in my treatment but Im losing sexual intrest Im not turned on as easily either, how can I get him to calm down and realize that I really need sleep, or am I being selfish? (link)
|
You are fighting cancer, of course you aren't being selfish! Your health comes first before your fiancee's sex drive. Let him know that your treatments really exhaust you and that once you get better you'll have all the energy for him. You shouldn't neglect him entirely, though.
Comprimise, promise to try to meet his needs as many times that you think you can handle.
Good luck and heal fast,

Yesterday I was asked to apply to Hollister by one of the people working inside, he had me write down my name and phone number on a sheet of paper (I don't remember what else was on it.) and then fill out the computer application in the store. While doing the application I had to pick what day I would be available for my interview, and I just randomly picked a day (Next tuesday I think.) And after filling it out, the guy told me to come tomorrow for my interview.
Which should I show up for?
Also, what type of questions do they ask in the interview? (link)
|
Working at Hollister is not just being an efficent worker, they like people who can relate to their customers and look good in the clothes. Just be very friendly and personable but show that you can be a serious worker as well. It's all about personality and ability to handle the work and all the customers.
Show up for the day he asked you to, and good luck =]

has anyone every applied and got a job at starbucks? what are the perks and what do you have to know to work there? (link)
| |
I haven't worked at starbucks but it's probably not an easy job to get, since they've closed a lot of shops and had layoffs recently.

does anybody know of a good straightener that will keep your hair completely straight for the whole day? (link)
|
The straightener wont insure long lasting results, no matter what kind. Usually its the weather that determines how long your hair stays straight. Try finding products that reduce frizz and block hudmity. You can try putting mousse in your hair and then straightening or just using hairspray.
As for straigteners, I reccomend one with ceramic plates and one that reaches atleast 350 degrees (mine hits 410 and thats the setting I use)
