about

Hey! First off, i'm going to start by saying I came here on this site to give people advice. Some people actually don't know the real meaning of advice. They think its the answers they want to hear. But i'm not here for that. I'll give you advice, and it might be something you don't want to hear. But deal with it! You may take my advice or not, its completely up to you and you are not gaurnteed a correct solution.

Ok so now that's clear, I'll talk to you more about myself. Hence the username... I play volleyball. It is my passion and basically my life since I've played for about 7 years. Most of my friends say i'm 50/50 tomboy and girly girl. I LOVE sports!! I play volleyball all year round, and then I go to the park during free times to play some soccer, football, hockey, basketball or baseball with my friends. But then again, I could be inside trying on my new Sephora makeup i'd just gotten, or reading the latest Seventeen magazine or even arranging my clothes for school tomorrow.

You can ask me just about anything and i'll be happy to answer it. You can count on a full and detailed answer.

Oh and another thing... I love getting feedback! Even if its a negative comment. It tells me what I need to work on or even what I did correct.

13/F
So, Halloween is coming up, and I need an awesome costume. Any ideas?

Specifications:
-Nothing too slutty or sugestive
-Nothing scary
-Nothing too obscure or hard for most people to get
-It can be classic, as long as it's not boring
-Nothing too hard to find/put together

Thank you sooo much in advance!

How about a TV Character... so like Dorthy from Wizard of Oz
or I dont know... What are your hobbies???
Maybe a detective?
Nancy Drew?
or somebody from a scary movie
Cow Girl?
Witch?
Belle from Beuty and the beast
Ursula from The little mermaid
UMMM.. that's all I can think of at the time... but If i get anymore ideas, i'll add more

I hope I helped!

Okay my neighbor is a flight attendant and she flies to peru and goes to the open markets and stores there and she said she would pick some Hollister stuff up for me there. but she said that they have like UK sizes and stuff. I tried converting my size on a couple of websites except the charts didnt go down low enough to my size. i wear a size 1 in Hollister in the US. is there anybody who knows what size that would be in the UK for hollister b/c hollister sizes run funny and i want to be super sure its right.

thanks in advanced. =]

Sorry.. I couldn't find anything. But I often go to Europe and buy clothes there... and I just checked the sizes and they are around 34 for a european number... in America I wear size 3/4/5
sooo I'm guessing for a size 1 you should be around and 30?? 29?? around there?? But if you are unsure heres what I would do. Measure how long your clothes are. So for example a size 1 is about ____ cm. Then tell your friend that and then when she goes there... she can measure how much ____cm is and then buy the clothes for you.

I hope I helped!

My 3 best friends and I have been best friends for 2 years now and we're extremely close. But here lately one of our friends Kim has been saying a lot of lies like to get one mad at the other. I love her to death but this year she's gotten pretty stuck up and its gotten so bad where none of us call her back when she calls us because we dont believe anything that comes out of her mouth. I dont want to loose her as a friend because I love her i really do. Should the rest of us comfront her and let her know about all the lies we've caught her in? (I dont want her to think we're attacking her or anything) i mean what should we do?
Please help!!

Well first of all what do you like about Kim??? Think to yourself what do you really like about her? Now what did you like about her when she was herself when she doesnt say any lies... what do you like about her now that she says lies?

If you really really want to continue being friends with her, I suggest confronting her and telling her how you feel. Tell her that you are upset that she's saying these lies and if she doesnt stop you'll be mad.

However, if you feel like she's no good and she doesnt deserve a friend like you, tell her that she's change alot and you simply dont want to be around her anymore.

I hope I helped!!!

I am like nearly bestfriends with this girl at my school. We hang out at school, and on occasion at her house or mine. But when she is with a huge group of friends I feel left out. Like she is busy talking to her other friends and does not pay attention to me, and her friends that she hangs out with always look at me all weird like I don't belong with the group. And ever since school started she barely talks to me because she is busy with her other friends. Although I do walk up to her and say hi but since she is always with other friends she doesn't talk much to me.

How can I get more attention from her, and get our old friendship back?

Although I would like to be closer friends with her, and hang out more without her losing her other friends. I totally respect her other friends. Also, sometimes I prefer just hanging out with her alone, so how can I get that to happen? She is never available because she is busy hanging out with other friends and I would like to hang out with her as well.

I apoligize for asking so many questions, but please answer as many as you can, and just give polite suggestions and tips, please.

Thank you for your time into reading this.

Hey,
I'm in the same situation as you. It's like you're friends with her sometimes... but when she's with other people it's like all her attention goes to them. Am I right? Well heres what I did-
I talked to her!
I told her exactly how I felt, I told her that sometimes she ignores me when she's with her other friends. She told me she would try to hang out with me more. For a while she actually did! But then after a week she ignored me again. So I kept talking to her. So if she was with her friends I would whisper "Hey, what about me?" to her. Then she would remember and include me. As for the other friends and that they look at you weird. Just smile to them and most of all- BE NICE TO THEM! If they look at you weird, dont stick your tounge out at them and give them a frown. Smile and just be nice. If your friend is stil ignoring you. Get into their conversations and just like I said, be nice to her. If you talk about what she talks about... I garentee ((sp?)) that she'll talk with you more. If she STILL is ignoring you... Friends change... so it seems like she's lost interest in you and you just have to keep your head high, and move on and greet other friends.

I hope I helped and all goes well between you two!!!

I want to make slide shows with music for my friends and family to enjoy. I have tried to do this with power point to no avail. I also have a program that should allow me to do this also to no avail.

I have no idea what you're talking about.. but I have a reccommendation for you. Try using
www.onetruemedia.com
that website allows you to create slideshows with a list of music, or you can choose your own music.

I hope I helped!

When i sttraighten my hair, after a while it gets wavy at the bottom and looks really nice. But the thing is with my hair one side gets curly instead of wavy so it doesn't look too good. How do i get that side from not getting curly. I use alot of hair products but nothing works.

try putting in gel or hairspray right before you straighten your hair. That should do the trick!

I hope I helped!

i heard of something like an "eye brightener" or something like that. and it's a certain kind of eyeliner that makes the whites of your eyes look whiter. if you know anything about this or like this or anything that makes your eyes whiter, i would love to know all your ideas.

thanks a TON!
mwahh

WHITER??? or WIDER?? because I know of something called an Eye-Highlighter that comes in really bright colors. ((white, pink, light blue, light purple.. etc.)) You put the eye highlighter on the inside corner of your eyes. Just like a V but on its side. It makes your eyes Wider apart and stands out.

I hope I helped and this is what you're looking for!

ok..
sometimes this guy seems like he likes me.
he talks to me and is always looking at me.
and always hangs around me and he's really cute, and i like him a little. without making it seem obvious what are someways that i could drop hints like flirting or things to say.

thanks a TON.
mwahhh xo

When he's talking, tilt your head a little while twirling your hair. If he makes a joke, laugh and then after that smile and bite your lip. Look at him when he's not looking at you. When you look at him, blink your eyes a few times. When he's done talking to you, or you done talking to him, just stare into his eyes for a few seconds. Then quickly look away. All of those signs are flirting.

I hope I helped and all goes well!

I'm giving a speech tomorrow, and it's about "my basketball court" now ive wriiten everything im going to say - EXCEPT the introuction!
which, according to my teacher, is super important!

With that said, here comes my question..
I don't want to say "hey my name is.. and im going to talk about my basketball court" i want a fun way of introducing my speech!
something about the actual game, BASKETBALL, or the basketball court..

I know this is a total challenge for you,
but you're totally a good writer..so thats why im asking.

So thank you - you are truly amazing if you help me with this.
I've been brainstorming but it's not coming to me!


thank you so much :)
for any ideas AT ALL about introducing my speech.

Some people start off good speeches by asking questions... so you could come up with something like "Did you ever wonder how....." and then just ask the audience a question about basketball. First ask the question, then say something such as "well you could figure that out if you listen to my speech. I'm ___ and I'm here to tell you all about my basketball court." You know... something along those lines.
I'm not sure if your teacher will allow this but i've seen this in some speechs, they have some music in the background and start singing or rapping the introduction. I know you said you dont want something like "hi my name is __and i'm here to tell you about my basketball court" but what if you said that along with singing or rapping??? Along with some music. That would draw alot of attention. I've also seen how some people ACT out their speech. Like they wear costumes and pretend they're a sales person trying to get peoples attention. Just use your imagination. Watch some TV commercials to get some really neat ideas. Like you know how you see a commercial and they have a funky tune to it.. like the fanta song for example... something like that.

I hope I helped and you're speech will go really well!

What are good ways to get curly hair without getting a perm or using a curling iron?

You can buy curlers... those work. What also helps to get GOOD curls... (( I know you said you dont want to use a curling irons.. BUT)) but if you put hairspray in your hair before you use a curling iron, it REALLLLY helps!

I hope I helped!

how do you know if a girl is checking you out

If she bits her lips, or she smiles... or if she plays with her hair. Or if she has a dreamy look in her eyes. Any of those signs says it all.

My friend and I have been planning to go to the movies with our boyfriends this friday since last week. I started my period today and it made me a little dissapointed.. is there ANY way I can make sure it's done by Friday?

Thanks

hmm... I'm not really sure if that's possible. I got my period a few weeks ago and about a few days later I had a volleyball tournament. I was hoping that it was done by then. But really... it wasn't. You see, you cant control your mentruation. You cant control when it happens, or when it stops. So my answer is that there's no possible way to make it be done. Just wear a pad or tampon and act natural when you're on your date. Don't worry about it and just have fun.

I hope I helped!
-volleyball2150

PS: I was looking through questions and saw a question with an answer that said if you have stress, that may cause your period to come later. sooo... I'm not sure if that helps.

well im 13/f and i want to get a little more in fit. What exersices should i do and for how long?. what foods should i eat. Thanx

Do a few push-ups, sit ups a day. Then lift some weights. A few more exercises are wall sits ((pretend like you're sitting on an invisible chair with your back against the wall)), monstor walks ((1 knee on the floor... just like you're about to propose, then go slowly up and switch legs)), and the boat ((lay on your back, balance all of your body weight on your tailbone... in other words- lift your back, arms, legs up in the air and also your butt... so only your tailbone is on the floor)) do those things for a while and you should be fit in about a week or so.

I hope I helped!

I have long curly (permed) hair which i love, but when i put it in a ponytail, for about an hour it looks great. Kinda poofy, i dont really know what to call it. But after about an hour, it goes totally flat in my ponytail. I hate it. Ive tried holdingit up and hairspraying it that way but it doesnt work. How can i keep it looking cute and poofyish?? i rate....thanks in advance

Well for my hair, I braid my hair really tight.. maybe about 5-7 braids.... then leave it that way for a few hours ((3-5 hours???)) and then take it out and put it in a ponytail... it makes my hair really poofy, then after that put hair spray in it... now if you want it that way in the morning, braid your hair at night, sleep like that and then in the morning take it out.

I hope I helped!
-volleyball2150

Ok so if you dont get it ((which you said you dont)) i'll make it easier- braid your hair, leave it in for a while, take it out, put your hair in a ponytail, then put hairspray on your hair. then you're DONE. Is that better????

I'm getting my braces off tomorrow, and I was wondering if there are any tips for what colors (for lipstick, shirts, jewlery) that makes your teeth look whiter. I know that "blue toned" lip color makes your teeth look whiter (whatever blue toned means) and that silver/sparkley makes your teeth look whiter. But how about for shirts?

Thanks a bunch!

I'm not totally sure on this one, complete guess... but I think black might make your teeth whiter. Because you want something to stand out, you choose a color thats the complete opposite... for example if you want red to stand out, use green.. or for purple is yellow, blue is yellow, black is white, brown is also purple... and so on. So A complete guess I think black might make white stand out.\

I hope I heleped!
