I'm Samantha, 17, and I love to help others. If I'm not sure about something, I will tell you, but I will tell you all that I do know. =D
advice
This is probably better off answered by those in the "real world" or at least with real jobs...
Anyway, I'm 18 years old and I really want a tattoo... the tattoo I want is the word "love" and a heart on my wrist - it would be very small and nothing eccentric. Just black lettering and the outline of a heart. No color or anything.
The reason I want that tattoo is because I used to self-injure, and if you google "To Write Love on Her Arms", you'll understand.
My only problem with getting it is that I plan on going into teaching and I'm not sure how professional it would look to have a tattoo that I won't be able to cover up.
In all honesty, I'd rather get the tattoo on my foot/ankle area, but it wouldn't make sense... would it... since the cause is to write love on her ARMS...? I'm not quite sure what to do.
I know not to get the tattoo until I'm positive about it since it's permanent, but I just wanted opinions. I especially want opinions of more professional people who have been in the work place and know whether or not having a visible tattoo, especially one that can't be covered at all, would make a difference in getting hired (more specifically, the tattoo I actually want).
Help? Thanks!
I'm 17 but I have a job that involves taking care of the older people in assistant living. I have a tattoo but on my back. I wanted to get one of my wrist and my friends and mom told me things to do to cover it up. Wear a big bracelet on that arm that won't move, or a big watch.

you could always wear longer sleeved shirts maybe?
things like that.
I really hope I helped! :D
I'm not so much in a set job, but I just thought I could tell you things people told me I could do.
Recently i had computer problems and basically my dad wiped my computer clean and i have a new hard drive (btw i want to kill my father for this!)
I had to download itunes back onto this computer and was able to sign back into my account, but all the songs from my ipod won't transfer into my library. That doesn't bother me, but it will not let me sync new songs onto my ipod.
When I try to sync it says I can erase the contents of my ipod and sync whats in the library (less then half of my songs), or transfer purchases from my ipod to the library. I choose the second chose and then it tells me I need to authorize my computer. I've authorized it ten times and it tells me that this computer has already been authorized. I don't know what to do! I'd try talking to itunes customer service, but I've dealt with them before and its a big hassle.
Can anyone help?
What I had to do was reset my Ipod.

just click on which one is your Ipod and try doing it that way. I hope I helped and good luck!!
im a senior and my boyfriend is a freshman in college. he is going to homecoming with me. normally at the game everyone goes all out with their mums and garters. since im a senior mine will be white. but am i susposed to make him one? would it be white or the school colors?
Uhm I think maybe a color that no other class would have. Or the color of your dress if that is possible. Good luck and have fun!! 2009!! :D
Ok well, on October 1st my boyfriend and I are moving out of my parents house and into our own, we have a 6 month old puppy and im just curious on a couple things. We first adopted her when she was 9 weeks from the SPCA and they said to expect a little diharrea from her just due to her being in a new place and a little nervous, well that did happen but she adapted quickly, and now that were moving ive started packing up some of our things that we wont need before we move and now whenever i pack if shes with me, which is almost all of the time, she whines, she doesnt wanna go outside because i tried that and she doesnt want food, i tried that to, i sit down and play with her and when i get back up, a few minutes later she does it again, i try to talk to her and pet her as much as possible, but do you guys think she knows something is up and is worried about going back to the shelter? and if so what should i do about it to make her feel sure that she isnt going anywhere? please help i feel so bad =[
Shes probably sensing that your going to leave her. Just pack up as quickly as you can when shes with you. I mean don't rush it, cause I'm sure it takes time. Maybe pack things when shes even sleeping. I just think shes scared your leaving her, but I think itll be okay once she knows your not
hiyar me and my bf had our first snog like yesterday and he kept doing it too fast, do you think i should tell him to slow down or what? x
Yeah, tell him hes going to fast, don't be mean about it, just tell him and I'm sure he'll understand!
i'm going to six flags great adventure in jersey tomorrow & i'm planning on wearing sofee shorts, vans & a t-shirt. the only thing is that i don't wanna get a retarded-looking tan line. & i'm not exactly the skinniest girl out there and i hate my arms to i'd rather not wear a cami. so do you think i should stick to t-shirt or wear a cami? thanks.
You want to feel comfortable. Instead of a full t shirt, cut the sleeves off and rip down the sides a little and wear a tank top under it if you want too. Roll the should parts under your bra. I suggest wearing a sports bra, its easier to roll your shoulder parts into.

like the girls out by the foul line.
I hope I helped!!
I'm an athlete. But I'm not like super-lean or anything. I'm pretty bulky, especially in my lower body/butt. It's not because I'm fat- I'm just solid there, and it's hard for me to find shorts/pants that fit well. I want to slim down some, so how do I do this? I run often, but I know that builds muscle also, so should I cut back on my food intake more? Or work out more? I don't want to be any more muscular, just smaller and more toned.
You sound like me! :D
Okay, so I've been doing these crunches at night to help make my little tummy fat more tight. Lay flat on the ground, do 20(or however many, then bend your knees do 20, then raise your feet off the ground with your knees still bent, do 20, your legs straight up in the air, do 20, then work your way down again, it hurts, but I have seen some difference. Then I put something that will raise my lower body up, and I do leg lifts to work my lower abs where my tummy has that little belly fat, its been working. Now if you have hips with little fat on them I do side crunches on a big ball, it works great. To make them more intense get some weight and hold it above your head. I hope I helped!
Hi, I am transferring to a new school this year and I don't know too many people that will be in my classes. Any tips on how to make friends/good impression on the first few days of school? Also any tips on how to overcome being shy if new people come and talk to me?
Thank You
When in class whoever is sitting by you, just say "hi, I'm :Samantha:"
When it comes to making a good first impression you really don't want to just sit there, they may think your stuck up, not friendly ex. So like I said, say hi to someone, and in your class before lunch, ask someone if it would be okay to sit with them since you don't know many or any one.
Wear nice looking clothes, but not short skirts that show your ass, thats a bad impression. SMILE:D
I hope everything will work out for you!!
Hi,
I can't believe I have this issue but here it is. When I was 16 I had an affair with a teacher at my high school it went on for 2 years and he was my first love. Anyway we saw each other sporadically until I graduated from college. Fast forward I went to medical school and during my residency I met this incredible guy and after 8 months we moved in together. He never spoke much of his dad, his mother and father never married so not only do they have different last names he only saw his father during the summer. Anyway, he invited me to his mother's for 4th of July and suggested we stop by his dad's we did and I couldn't believe it, it was surreal. Anyway Doug and I acted like we hardly knew each other and Garret and I left shortly thereafter, now we're back home and I don't know what to do, Doug has called me twice saying we should talk but what am I going to do. Garret is all I have ever dreamed of but how do you tell the man you want to marry you lost your virginity to his father, or if I don't tell him, things like this have a habit of coming out and I don't want to marry him and ten years later he finds out and feels betrayed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I agree. You didn't know of Garret when you were with Doug. He might be mad, but I think in the long run, he'll be happy you even told him. Since he doesn't see his father that much any way, I don't see him caring as much as if it would be his dad he grew up with. I hope things go well
okay so tomorrow i have volleyball tryouts. i'm in 8th grade currently and took this volleyball class thing with the jv coach for a week in 7th grade. well i took it for 2 days because the second day i broke my wrist. i only noticed it at home. i know your wondering how do you break your wrist in volleyball? well i have no idea. but anyways that was in april and now its almost september. im all healed and ok to play. but i havent played since april. i mean yeah tonigh i'm definitley going to practice. and i mean i'm definitley not the worst at it. volleyball is not a big sport at my school, they only established a middle school volleyball team this year and i dont know anyone who is going to the tryouts. so i guess what i'm asking is:
what should i do to get ready for tryouts??
any advice on what to do during tryouts?
** please only answer this if you play volleyball or if you arent on a team but you know a lot about it
thank you sooooooo much! =]
Practice falling down, like when your going to get a low spike, and not landing on your wrist. Thats probably how you did it the first time. Practice your approach to spiking, and do some push ups to get some arm strength for serving. I hope I helped!! && Good Luck!!
My belly button piercing is seriously infected. I've had it for four days and every day it gets worse. What should I do? I cant take it out, because then the infection gets sealed in. AND every day I sea salt soak it twice -- once in the morning and once before bed, and clean it with rubbing alcohol (I have to do this because I have field hockey season and I don't want the sweat to make it even worse/dirtier...so I just use the r.a. after practice and then I shower.)
So I thiknk Im cleaning it pretty well -- But what else should I do?
I am extremely concerened this could become serious.
By the way, talking to my piercer is not an option... so don't say to go back and talk to them.
Do Not Use rubbing alcohol!!! It is eating the infected skin and it won't go back to regular skin. The skin thats pierced will get smaller and thats not a good thing, then it has a higher chance of getting riped out.
Use peroxide. Get some neosporin and put it on the ring, and twist the ring inside of you.
I'm a freak with piercings, I have 20, so I think I know what I'm talking about.
The sea salt will help for only so long, soon the infection will get immune to it, and it will stop working. If there is a puss bubble, do not pop it like a pimple. Get a needle, make sure you burn the tip of it to make sure the germs are off of it, then poke the bubble.
With sports, do not cover it with a band aid or anything. After practice take your shirt off and just lay in bed to let your belly ring breathe a little.
Every time you touch it, wash your hands, don't touch it more then needed. I say about 4-5 times should be good, thats when you should be putting the neosporin on it. I hope I helped, any more questions feel free to message me!!
Uhm I never used it on either one of mine. The top for infected bc I went swimming in a lake and didn't clean it after. But just by using neosporin and not touching it a lot it cleared up in oh idk a week maybe. but then I did use rubbing alcohol and I don't have much skin left. my bottom got infected from changing it to early, and I went to GNC(not sure if you have one) and got this one stuff I can't think of the name, and it helped too, but it didn't on my friend. But if you don't have a GNC just use neosporin 4-5 times a day, getting it on the ball and what not. If the Vas. is seems to be working, keep trying it, I just never did it!! Good Luck any more questions just message me! :D

ok so as you all probably know by now me and my boyfriend have not been doing so well.
we live in different states and that makes it harder.
he hasnt called me since tuesday. and ive texted him and stuff but i got no text back but i think his phone ie off again.
and last night around 230 he called me from his friends phone (he lives with him) but i didnt feel like talking to him
cause later that day i took a nap and i woke up and went online and saw that he signed into myspace for the first time in like 3 days
but didnt even bother to message me saying anything
and i went to look at his top friends and this girl who ive had problems with him talking to her before, is first
he never put me back first after this fight we had about two weeks ago cause he barely goes on ever since his aunt kicked him out.
and that made me really sad/mad.
so i thought since he never called me or texted me back and seemed to care about this girl more
that i thought we were over
so im like wow whatever. hes an a*sshol*
and then this morning he called me and woke me up and we talked. and of course like always he acted like everyhting was fine. and he told me he loved me and stuff. and he told me that he forgot to tell me that he bought me something for my birthday and that hes gonna have to mail it to me. so i thought ok whatever were fine now.
butttt about an hour ago i went on the girls myspace and saw that he had commented yesterday
and it said i love you baby you mean everything to me.
and that seriously made me so mad. cuase i know they dont have just a friendship
but the weird thing iis, that he isnt on her top and her thing still says single. and she tends to flirt with guys. anddd she lives farther then i do from him.
and i really dont know what to think
i commented him and told him to call me when he gets this comment
because im tired of being so nice and acting like nothing is wrong
so im finally just going to tell him off and how miserable i have been and what is up with him and this girl.
someone help me :/
Wow sounds to me that he likes her, duh. Ask him about the comment, I think you need to break up with him any way. Esp if you left a comment like that on a girls page. Sorry =[
What should I name my new dog I'm gonna get?
Ok, well my currenbt dog is very old
My mom says she'll die in a year or so
I told my mom we're gonna get a husky when she does
Cause the're my favorite dogs
The thing is..I have NO idea what we could name it
That is if the dog doesnt come with a name
But yea, if we have to name it ourselfs what is a good dog name
The last two dogs we had were girls
I said i wanted a boy
So what are good male names for huskys?
I'm never any good at naming pets
I got a rabbit when I was in kindergardeN
It died last year and it STIll didnt have a name
We just called him Bunny
My mom named our cats
And I can't think of anything
I kinda like the names
Bubba
Joe
Joey
I don't really like giving "human" names to pets
Ones like Emily or Matt
Such like that
Soo those are out of the questions
So any name ideas?
13-F
Go to google and look up Male dog names. There will be tons of websites to go too. Try getting a name from a movie. My male dogs are named after people in Lord of the Rings. Sindar and Baylynn. Those are good names if you like those lol.
I am 16 yrs old. Me and my boyfriend never have had sex with a condom for the past 6 months. Last month my period came on on July 10, 2008. Me and my boyfriend had sex a week later, my period was supposed to come on today which is August 10, 2008. I have not been feeling normal and been more tired than usual and been gaining weight. Could i be pregnant?
No, there is a chance, there is always a chance when you don't use a condom. However If your not on BC then your periods will be out of whack and not come on the say you think they will. Don't stress about it, it will then make it later. You are gaining weight because you hold water before your period. I like to think of it as you get "fatter" before your period and once your on it, you get skinny again! Don't worry. Wait about a week and if still hasn't came, then go get a test.

i am a christian.
i have been serving god all my life.
and i have had plenty of christian and non-christian friends.
i try not to talk about religion a lot because i dont want to push my friends away.
i am not a rebel or emo or anything, but lately i have been wondering if i am two different people.
i love god with all my heart.
and that will never change, but i recently told my friend about my releigion and she said she had no idea that i was christian. does that mean that i dont act like a christian.
i go to church every other sunday, i read the bible and i love singing praise songs, and pray. but my friends didn't know that i did anything like that.
how can i be chirstian in front of my friends without pushing them away???
from,
confused about being 2faced
They probably didn't know because you even said yourself, you don't talk about it. I say as long as you aren't "whoring" around, you shouldn't be worried. If you were tho, and of course you wouldn't be a good Christian. If you would like so show more of your religion try telling them about the great praise songs there are. I love them. If you are the kind of person that prays before a meal with your family, do it in front of your friends, ask them if they would want to join you, if not then just do it yourself. I don't think you should be scared of pushing them away, you might actually get their attention and they would like to start church. Thats what happened to me. Now don't go all out, but just let them know you are a proud Christian and maybe tell them some stories that your paster tells you in church, they usually have some good ones. =D

okay i'm a cheerleader and we only have one tumbler. so i decided that i wanted to be one also so it looks cooler. so i was wondering how to i start and if there are any videos that can help me. thanks a bunch.
I'm a cheerleader also, and I can tumble. It is VERY hard if you are not use to holding your own body weight. I strongly suggest getting into gymnastics that way you have someone who knows how to teach there with you. Watching videos will help, but not help you. To start working out outside of gymnastics, get in a handstand and do push ups. If you need the wall, use the wall. This is build up your arm strength and give you a good idea of how strong you have to be to be able to do a back handspring.
I was just wondering how old do you have to be to get a belly ring??? I'm planning to get one either when I turn 16 or when I'm close to turning 16 and I was also wondering is it better to get one sooner or later???
I was 13 when I got my first one. To go into a tattoo shop you have to be 13, so I'm guessing thats how old. As long as you have a parent with you to sign the papers because you are not 18, you can get it done. Take very good care of it. Chances are it will get infected, but don't freak out how everyone does. Do not clean it with rubbing alcohol. Don't change it to soon, thats how my bottom one got infected. Good luck!
whenever i tie my hair up MY EAR POP OUT
LIKE AN ELF'S
and i hate it so much
what can i do to get rid of it.. well like hide it and stop it from being SOOO OBVIOUS
try wearing head bands when you pull your hair up. Try getting side bangs. Long enough to put behind your hair..

try something like that..
where can i buy a cheap organ?
I say try looking on Ebay and betting for one on there. Make sure that you read about it tho, and make sure the seller has pictures. If not there, maybe trying a store like goodwill. I'm not sure if you have that near you, but its a store where people give that store their old clothes, couches, everything. I hope I helped!!
