Is it normal to have hair around the nipples on your breasts? Is there any way to get rid of it? (link)
Yes, that is completely normal... if you really wish to get rid of it try waxing it... but there really is no need to get rid of it.


I'm currently going to cheer camp everyday for 9 hours a day for my squad. (Ive been going for 2 weeks) I'm so tired and so worn out I dont know if I can take it anymore. I'm very sore from all the jumps, stretching etc., But my coach wants me to push through but I dont know if I can take it anymore, I've already pulled my hamstring, and bruised my big toe (stunting), and my shoulder(while tumbling). What should I do? (I still have 2 more weeks of it!) (link)
This sounds like a pretty rough camp! I'm on poms and we have poms camp that sounds like it is basically just like this. You say you are sore from stretching, but stretching should help to keep you from becoming sore. You also said that it's nine weeks long and that you only have 2 weeks left. You have completed so much of this camp. It just wouldn't be worth it to quit now. You will feel so good if you complete this camp. Just go easy and be careful with your hamstring, because you don't want to make that worse. Just stretch every day at home when you have time even if you already stretched at camp. As for the bruises... you just have to be strong and put up with them.. they aren't the end of the world. make sure you see a trainer about your hamstring, too. I hope this advice helps!!


I can be pretty shy. When it comes to guys and sometimes even making new friends. I am going into a new school now, and I just want to be able to have as many friends as possible. And I don't want to be standing there seeing all of these girls talking to guys just because they look confident and walk a certain way. Do you think that makes a big difference? Being confident in yourself and showing it? Or am i just hopeless? Let me know. How can I fix this?

thanks (link)
I definitely think that being confident and showing it makes a difference. If you just sit there while everyone else is socializing, people will think that you don't want to talk to them or be thier friend. If you go right up to people and talk to them, you will easily make friends. Being confident will help you to seem more approachable and people will want to talk to you and get to know you. However, when you do talk to people at this new school, don't be fake and act like someone you're not. Just be yourself and everyone will love you for you... at least your real friends will. Just be confident, be friendly, and BE YOURSELF!


how do u know if ur in love? is there a differece between being in love and loving someone? i need to know b/c i think that i love this one guy but im not so sure anymore... could anyone give me some advice on love and dating? thanx... ill rate high!!!! (link)
This is a good question for me to answer, because I have experienced this recently. People would always tell me, "Oh, you'll know when you're in love." And I would ask how and they would say, "You just know." Now, I always thought that was a bunch of bs until I fell in love myself. You say that you're not sure that you love this guy... well love is such a sure thing and when you are in love you KNOW that you are in love. Being in love is loving the person for who they are and not just obsessing over them because they are hot or something. You appreciate every little thing that person does and you would do anything for them. Now, love is different for everyone... this is just judging from my experience. If you love this guy, you'll know for sure. Love is such a difficult topic... I hope that my advice helps.


okay, ive been going out with my bf for a little over a week and i really like him and stuff. The problem is, i still am in love with my ex. But the thing is, my ex is beginning his first year of high school in the fall and i will be beginning 8th grade. He also lives really far away and his high school is pretty far away too. My current bf is really nice and everything but i still am in love with my ex. When my ex found out about the bf i have now, he got really jealous. I would dump my bf for him in a second, but i dont know if that would be the smart thing to do. What should i do? Please help me! (link)
If you are so hung up on your ex, it wouldn't be fair to stick around with your current boyfriend. Could you imagine if you found out that your boyfriend was in love with another girl? It would probably crush you. My advice is to tell your boyfriend that it's not going to work, but tell him it's because he's going on to high school and it will be hard for the two of you to see each other. Don't tell him that you love someone else, because that would just hurt him.
