about

Um... hi. I'm Holly, 17. Live in Denver but I'm from Virginia originally. I don't know what to say... haha. I like to hang out with my friends and such, watch TV and movies. I'm also into fitness and sports, and I'm one of those freaks that actually likes school. I also enjoy helping people out, which is why I'm here. I have advice on pretty much every topic, and I try to help in the best way I know how -- I'm not one for giving sarcastic answers to questions and such.

advice

I usually wear bras that are sort of like sports bras but they aren't. They don't have padding or anything. I decided I wanted a bra with more support in it like a cup bra. We looked at the cup bras, but the ones i was looking for had padding in them. I tried them on and my boobs actually looked like boobs! I'm not used to this change and I love the look and feel of them but, I'm not sure if I'm being too fake. I'm going into 7th grade and I'm a size 32 in kids bras. What do you think? IS this too much of a change from my no-padded bras?

How about doing it in stages? Right now you're in a non-padded bra -- basically, it's just fabric, right? So get a bra that has support, but very little padding. Then you can move up to a bra with more padding if you want.

with me and remember each one.

who draws pictures and slips them
gently into my locker slot.
who saves his genuine, big smiles for me.
a boy with deep eyes,
that can see through faces into depths.

who wears baseball hats and
lets me wear his too.

who gives me his t-shirt to change into
and not expect to get it back.
who knows my favorite color, song,
car, vegetable, perfume and
the color of my toothbrush.
a boy who will shake my dad's handand look my mother in the eye.
who will call me by my full name--
first, middle and last.
a boy who will kiss me and
tell me i'm beautiful.
a boy who will let me cry to him.
who will squeeze my hips just right.
who suprises me and compliments
my manicure and plays with my hair.
who knows when i have a math test
or when i fail one.
a boy who smells like
he just stepped out of the shower.
who tells me i have a nice laugh,
and a smile that lights up the room.
a boy who's simply mine to hold."
that is exactly what i want!

Because guys suck (well, most of them, anyway). I know it sounds cliché, but you'll find someone one day.

16/f My boyfriend and I have been together for about 3 months. Our 3 month anniversary is coming up in a bit over a week. I really wanna make it special for him but I keep thinking that all of my ideas are a little too cheesy or not good enough for him. He deserves the best. What should I do for him that would be loveable?

Trust me, I know it's MUCH harder to come up with gifts for guys -- so I know where you're coming from here. I'd suggest maybe buying him a card and then writing a short poem or note and putting it inside. A three-month anniversary isn't as big as the 6-month mark, so you really shouldn't worry about it so much. Good luck, and happy anniversary!

I have a boyfriend but it is extremely hard to spend time with him since I am so busy in the summer, and have to spend time with family. I feel like we are growing apart from each other. Should I break up with him, or stay together?

Have a talk with him and see how he feels. Ask if he feels like you're growing apart, and see what he has to say about it. Tell him that you really care about him, but you feel as if you're growing apart because of your other priorities. Let him know that he IS high on your list though. Ask him if he's okay with you guys not spending a bunch of time together (at least for the time being) or if you should make more of an effort to hang out with him. Maybe he'll want to break up. Maybe you'll decide that that's what's best. But whatever happens, try to keep it civil and friendly.

Just tell them that you made a mistake and grabbed the wrong color shorts. Everyone makes mistakes!

I had this horrible dream and cant get it out of my head. To make a long story short my 2 month old baby and I ended up in a truck stop when a nut came in with a big knife. He just started killing people left and right and when he came to me I said "please dont hurt the baby" he laughed at me and cut my throught. As Layed on the floor bleeding he cut the babys throught and the baby was crying and he laughed and said to the baby "ahh, are you crying, want me to get your bottle?"
It was so dramatic Ive been crying about it all day. I woke up with red marks all over my neck from grabbing my throught while I was dreaming.

I'm no dream expert, but it sounds like you just care a lot for your daughter and you never want anything to happen to her. Dreams very rarely really mean what they portray -- in other words, no one's going to kill your daughter like in the dream, if that's what you're worried about. I think you should just chalk it up to being an awesome mother.

this year I want to dress more preppy. What are some styles that look preppy? I rate very high!

Try wearing Hollister or American Eagle and stuff... I really don't know how to help because that's not really my style (actually my style is whatever looks cool to me).

Sometimes in the day I feel like water or pee is leaking out of my vagina
Is this normal? and even sometimes I get stains in my underwear.

Maybe you should talk to a doctor about it... it really depends on what the discharge is (it's definitely not pee -- that doesn't come from your vagina). Most likely it's relatively normal, and you should just wear a pantyliner so that you don't get stains on your underwear or pants.

I am friends with my immediate supervisor, who answers to our manager. She is a single mom, 40, who dresses and often acts like something the dog drug in. She typically wears wrinkled, faded and baggy clothing, rather unprofessional, and she is the spokesperson for our department. She generally arrives to work late, with wet hair and her hair is cut in a little girl style with heavy bangs and straight to the shoulders - very unflattering. She is overweight and tends to wear shoes (clogs and sandals) that resemble slippers. Moreover, her office is cluttered, dirty, she often has food sitting out, and is decorated with years' old child art, past holiday decorations, cards, photos and lots of knicknacks and old paperwork and even stuffed animals. She basically has no clean space or desktop to work on and she often stacks work on the floor. She is very social, chatting with people to the point of them backing away from her and she often traps people in their work space, cornering them to go on and on about her daughter and television shows ad nauseum. We have spoken with both our manager and directly with her, but things only change minimally and temporarily. She takes pride in not having the money or time to dress appropriately because she is a single mom -- something she mentions anytime anyone else wears something new. Sometimes she is in direct violation of the written and posted dress code, but others also violate this -- however usually with better professional taste. Besides being embarrassed of her, I am also concerned because in many ways she might be promoted to a higher level, if she looked the part and was more professional in her work relationships and environment. What do you recommend? I don't want to go to her again and seem like I am trying to criticize.

Here's some advice: leave the poor woman the hell alone. She seems like she's happy with the way she is.

My vet keeps sending me postcards wanting me to bring in my cat to get her yearly exam and shots. Is this really necessary? When I was a kid, we never brought our cats to the vet. We live in an apartment, so my cat never goes outside or is exposed to other animals. So I don't see a purpose for these vaccines. She was just at the vet 2 months ago for an eye infection, so they know she is in good health. Is it really that necessary that I bring her?

First of all, if she had an eye infection, she wasn't really in great health, now was she?
Would you like your cat to die? Probably not. Take her in, get her shots.

I'm applying to be a bagger at a grocery store. I was wondering if most places require an interview for that kind of job? (I've heard that jobs like that don't even bother with it and just hire on the spot, but wasn't sure.) And if so, what kind of questions do you think they'll ask? Thanx.

That was my first job, so yeah... let's see. Yes, they do an interview, but it's not as in-depth as other job interviews. They'll mostly ask questions about the days and times you can work, whether you consider yourself responsible, and how you'll get to and from work. Starting pay is usually above minimum wage. Mine was $7.90 an hour, but depending on where you live it could be different.
Oh, and don't put the bleach in with the deli meat. Bitchy Girl who is always up Hot Guy's ass will yell at you.

Hey hey hey... thanks ahead of time. I will rate and leave feedback if it's wanted, but anyways- i dyed my hair about two weeks ago and I absolutely HATE the color of it. I thought that I heard of something called Stripping... which is where you get your hair color stripped and it will go back to your natural color. Is this something real and is it bad for your hair, how much does it cost? Thanks

Yes, it's real, and yes, it can be bad for your hair. VERY bad -- it can actually cause baldness (no, I swear I'm not kidding, it happened to one of my friends and her hair started coming out in clumps). As far as I know though, most people don't have side effects from it; but I wouldn't suggest doing it often. It runs at about $100 and you can get it done at most stylists, even Hair Cuttery and Fantastic Sam's.

i am 17 and i live in ny. i want to get a tattoo i was wondering how old i have to be. my mom said she dont care if i get one bc she wants one too. were thinking about getting them at the state fair. thanks for your help!

DON'T get them at the state fair, that's probably not clean at all. Anyway, as long as your mom signs the paperwork and gives permission, most places will ink you up. I have a tattoo and I'm 17. I had to have a copy of my birth certificate, my ID (my school ID was okay) and my mom had to sign the paper and show her ID. You may have a little more trouble if you and your mom don't have the same last name, but you should be fine all the same.

This is prolly gonna sound dumb but im not into all those sterotype things. So like what does prep/goth/punk/emo/posers and all those things mean. Add them if i forgot some. Those are the basics that i know.
Like if you were pink and say "omg" and "like" every 5th word...your a prep?


that doesnt make sense to me...

It doesn't make sense to me either, but a lot of people follow stereotypes and labels religiously. I never understood it -- I wear what I want and act how I want to act. Whatever.

Is magic real? Can you really hypnotize people? I saw this thing on tv where this guy made this girl float..sounds totally not real but if you saw it you would probably believe it. But anyways, is it actually real?

Yes, I think magic and levitation are real. A lot of magic is illusions though. And yes, hypnotizing really works!

If i were to babysit, where could i like help? I only have my 2 little cuzins, and i dont want to ask for money right up-front. And i dont have anyone around my neighborhood to do this. where should i go? what should i do?

Post a sign in the supermarket. Make sure you post a price ($5 per hour per kid is what I charge), and your age and phone number. You should get responses from interested parents!

I noticed how people bribe in their questions, as in "I'll rate a 5 if you answer". Isn't advicenators supposed to be about HELPING? What happened to the world?

Hey, I didn't understand it either... I was pretty sure it was about helping people whether they rate you or not. But whatever -- no harm done, I guess.
So, you should rate me a 5, because I answered.
(Just kidding, I swear.)
