There is no dance instructor living in my town, and I really want to leaarn how to dance like they do on cheetah girls (on the previews for the second one). What is that style of dancing called and is there a site, video or book that can help me out? Thx in advance!
Well the only thing I know of is called Byou (it was televised). It's a dance workout video, but it teaches you dance moves, like the ones from the Cheetah Girls. Sabrina Bryan is the host of it and supposedly it's really good, and is really easy to follow. Hope I helped :)
well, first of all, im REALLY uncomfortable putting this up, but i need to know.
for some time now, my 'area' has had throbbing 'desires' i should say. it feels gross and wrong. is this just being a teenager with hormones or something else?
All it is is hormones, my cousin was talking to me the other day and she's having the same things going on with her lately. But it's normal and nothing to be ashamed of. Every teen goes through it at one point or another, so don't feel alone. Hope I helped :)
Okay , so i babysit this sixth grader three days a week. & let me tell ya .. IT IS SOOOOO BORING OVER THERE! All that i ever do is watch t.v., eat, & talk on the phone. Oh yeah ... and i also get on the computer. Any ideas on what else I could do over there? He always goes over to his friends houses all the time , so its not like I can do anything with him. Grrrr , HELPPP!
Lol, well what I do when I'm bored is arts & craftsie stuff. I just bought this thing the other day it was like a dog keychain maker and you could make little doggies out of mini pom poms and they give you eyes and pipe cleaners for tails, it was really cute. You can get any of this stuff at Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michaels, AC Moore, or even Walmart. Another idea is to start drawing, you could be really good at it. Something else I like to do is make drawings using craypas, which are like clayish sort of crayons. You could also buy miniature air planes (not set up) and build them, weird hobby, but entertaining. You could also start scrap-booking. Take some old (or new) photos you have from home and bring them there and buy some nice stickers (the pop-out ones are especially nice), a scrap-book, and some scissors & glue and you're all set. You can get all of this stuff at the stores I mentioned. Hope I gave you some good ideas :)
P.S: Another thing I really like doing is beading, it's fun and you could make some necklaces or bracelets for friends or family members on holidays.
Ohhkay. To make a long story short..I am realy nice to about anyone.. exept if i hear you talk about me.. then i realy just talk to you about it. Anyways..

Are you kidding?!?! In your pics you ARE skinny, I don't think you need to lose any weight, and you're really pretty so no one is probably staring at your body, but at your face. But if you really want to lose weight, then swimming is a really good way to do that. It let's you use your legs and your arms and it helps burn a lot of fat in those areas (and your stomach). Also bike riding is a really good way because you're using your legs. Instead of eating chips for a snack or whatever, pick a fruit (if your mom or dad doesn't buy really healthy foods then you can make a list of food for them to buy for you when they go shopping). Eating celery (alone) for a snack is a really really good way to drop pounds, and also when you make a ham or cheese or any kind of sandwich, add lettuce to it because it fastens your metabolism and decreases the amount of fat absorbed in your body. As I've heard and tried, Vitamin Water is really good for you and gives you the same amount of vitamins that you would need to take in daily to stay healthy. I know a lot of people hate doing this alone, but you could go out for 30 minute walks every day, or you could go out and buy one of those 30 minute walk videos (I own one) because they give you the same results. Also if you want to lose weight in the abdominal area, try 50 crunches a day and 10 sit-ups, whatever you choose. Keeping to your diet is the best possible way to lose weight, trust me. Because if you slip up a day, you're gonna be like well it's too late I just ate something bad so there's no way to take it back, but there is. Just remember what you want to look like and that'll give you enough drive to stick to it, and the results will be worth everything you put yourself through. Hope I helped, and don't go anorexic because you'll keep doing it until you lose 20-30 lbs, but then you'll start eating again and gain all of that and more back. So it's really unhealthy.
P.S: One of my friends went anorexic and lost a TON of weight, but then she started eating a little bit again and gained it all back +more, so please don't.
I never feel like my best friend likes me as much as I like her. We live in different towns and weve been having so much fun this summer..but then her other best friend came back from vacation and now shes going to be hanging out with her the whole rest of the summer. Im really sad because shes only known her new best friend for a few months and Ive known her for 6 years and I feel jealous & forgotten. She always writes xanga entries about the other friend and says how much she LOVES her and puts her in her profile and she barely says anything about me.. I dont know I feel like Im losing her. Her xanga said shes hanging out with the girl next weekend and we had plans for then. Im so sad. What do i do?? I cant talk to her, she has the friend over and I dont want to start drama/be jealous and stuff. Help???
I know exactly how you feel. It feels like I'm losing my best friend too and she's the only person in the world I'm comfortable around and tell everything to. I think what you should do is get her on the phone. Tell her that she's your best friend and you feel like you're second best or forgotten, however you want to put it. She needs to know how you feel, otherwise you'll just keep beating yourself up about it like I am. Don't make the same mistake I did, tell her how you feel. Maybe the reason why that girl is always in her profile is because she lives closer by and goes to her school. Unfortunately, things change, people change and sometimes there's not much we can do about it except hope and fight for what we want. If this girl's worth it, then fight for her, win her back. Hope things work out!
Is there really a difficult rope awaiting inside every high school gym? i am horrified of "the rope" I COULD NEVER CLIMB THAT THING!!!
Sorry if this answer is late. Lol I hate climbing up that stupid thing just as much as the next person but my high school doesn't have one and I'm pretty sure none of them do, but if they do then they won't force you up it, they can't make you it's your decision. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do. My elementary school had one, but I'm pretty sure that your high school won't. They might have a rock climbing wall, but it's optional. Basically the teachers are nice and don't pressure you into anything. I wouldn't worry, high school's meant to be fun (even though gym seriously sucks).
P.S: The only people that can actually climb up the wall, are guys who are jocks, a lot of girls have a hard time up it (or don't even make it at all), but like I said just about every high school doesn't have a rope.
I`m 14/f I have hair down there. Should I shave it off or what I mean I think it`s really nasty so what`s the best way to get rid of it other then getting it waxed!?
What I think you should use, as an alternative to shaving, is a tiny machine called Bikini Touch. It's painless and doesn't give you tiny red bumps. It has two features to it, one is it can shave all of the hair off or you can put this tiny head on it and all it will do is trim the hair, whichever you choose. If you want, you can buy it at Walgreens for $4.99, very cheap. Or you can go to walgreens.com and order it so you don't have to go to the store (exactly what I did). Don't shave it because I've done that before and it hurts afterwards, so I don't recommend it, or waxing. But if you are going to shave use a TON of shave gel and use a new razor head. And also shave in the direction that the hair is growing (meaning down). Hope I helped :)
P.S: I really suggest using Bikini Touch, or some other type of hair removal machine, here's the site if you want to see what it looks like: http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100260&navAction=jump&navCount=0&skuid=sku868361&id=prod868373
ok this is for girls i guess.
what is the right way to shave the vaginal area? becuase some people have said shave in the way the hair goes...so like down i guess? but then the area isnt smooth. so then if you shave the other way you can get cut and really bad razor burn? is there any way to get it smooth with out any or little razor burn?
and is it ok to use nair for down there?
AHH don't use nair, it burns. I suggest using a tiny machine called Bikini Touch, the painless hair remover. Basically there are two different blades to it, one is the regular blade where you can cut all of the hair off with no razor burn or red bumps and the second is a tiny head you put on it so it only trims the hair, and trust me besides waxing this really is the best thing to use instead of shaving. But if you are going to shave, then you're supposed to shave in the direction in which the hair is growing (so yea, down), but personally I don't like to shave it with a razor because sometimes it's painful and either way you get little bumps. If you want to buy Bikini Touch, Walgreens sells them cheap for $5.00, you can order it online so you don't have to go to the store either. Hope I helped :)

Okay, I'm nervous. My period has'nt come yet and I usually get it on the 25th of the month or before, never usually after. The first time I got it was on the 5th of the month and the second time it became irregular and didn't come till the 25th and since then on, that's when it comes. I don't know, I'm just worried, I'm not pregnant because I'm a virgin. I've had my period for almost two years so I don't know what's up. Any info. would be helpful guys, thanks.
P.S: I have a feeling it's gonna come because my face is all broken out in pimples which is usually a sign.
Don't worry about it, a lot of girls have the same problem. For around the first couple of years it's going to be irregular. Eventually it's gonna come :)
Okay, So some people say im pretty..
&& others well think im the ugliest thing in the world.I want opionons from strangers..? If that makes any sence..

Lol don't listen to the people who say you're ugly, cause you're not. You're really pretty :)
so I used to cut myself--bad
not just a littl red mark
these deep gauges in my skin
but I got over it and battled it.
and won.
But I still have the aftermath and the embarrasment of scars on my thigs/shoulders.
is there any creams or lotions that I could put on them to help the scars fade away?
If you've ever seen the comercials for it, Mederma works really well. My cousin tried it after falling off of her bike and got a huge scar, it worked amazing. Hope you'll try it :)
I'm as pale as anything. I mean it too. I'm not going to the beach this summer wither, so it's like impossible to get a tan, specially since i live way up north. In the past 2 months I can honestly say I have tried a dozen different fake tanner products. Some leave my skin blotchy, streaky, or orange looking. I need a fake tanner that looks 100% natural, doens't turn you orange, and doesn't have those annoying sparkles in them. My fake tan CANNOT wash off in salt water or fresh water. And I prefer it not to smell too bad : / !! Please help me I'm desperate. I need to find a fake tanner that last and looks 100% natural. I don't care how much it cost! Other tanners I've used.. when I first put rub it in and after a couple of days it looks great. Except when I take a shower.. Then it comes off in certain places making my skin look blotchy. I also would look to have a fake tanning lotion that has a tint in it too, so i can see where I'm applying it. And one last thing, I'm not only looking for a fake tanner for my body, but also for my face! any suggestions?!? I'm sorry for the long detailed story, I just need to find somethign that works along my expectations. Thank you sooooo much!
Okay I suggest using Touch of Sun by Olay. It's pretty much a moisturizer with just a little bit of self-tanner in it so it doesn't turn you orange and it also gives you a natural summer glow looking appearance. I'm not sure if you can use it on your face, but for your face I suggest Jergens Natural Glow FACE. Or if you want you can just use Jergens Natural Glow for your body instead of Touch of Sun, whichever you choose. Hope I helped.
P.S: Neutrogena also makes tanners for the body as well as the face.
I have acne near my cheeks. Nowhere else I guess. How do I get rid of it? It's been there for months. I tried proactive, I AGREE it works but I can no longer afford it! So if anyone can give me tips..
I haven't had a clear face since 5th grade
or since I had proactive.
I'm going into 10th grade. I want a clearer face.
I don't touch my face, I wash my hands. I don't pick or pop my pimples. I don't pile up acne products anymore. There is no foundation [makeup stuff] that matches my skin color :\
So any tips for me?
Products that work?
My skin is combination.
My friends have really good skin and have a habit of running that in my face. It's getting annoying.
I do realize you can get acne from being on your period. But it piles up with the old acne and yeah.. Not something I want people to look at.
Actually I heard that Differin works really well and that it's not too expensive. It's advertised on TV, but I myself have yet to try it. Hope you'll try it and I hope it works :)
Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew some good like.. love/heartbreak songs. Anything you know of? It can be any type.. cliche/or not.

Hey, a few I know of are If I Was The One by Ruff Endz, Half Like by Duncan Sheik, We Belong Together by Gavin DeGraw, My Hero Is You by Hayden Panettiere, Collide by Howie Day, Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World, Because Of You by Kelly Clarkson, First Time by Last Born, Gallery by Mario Vazquez, and What Hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts. Sorry there are so many, hope I helped :)

Okay so last night i stayed at my boyfriends house.. I didn't sleep in the same room as him.. i was in his sisters room.. anyways..
We was watching a movie in the lounge and we started kissing and then we was touching each other like.. had our hands down each others trousers and underwear etc.. He got an erection.. and then he layed on top of me, still fully clothed and we kissed some more..
I am worrying that i could be pregnant even though we were fully clothed.. Because i no you can get pregnant through clothes etc..
But what is the possibility of me getting pregnant through his jeans and boxers AND my combats and thong? Like.. is this likely?
I dont know whether he came or not or anything.. and i didnt notice or feel anything wet\sticky on my combats.. But when i went to the toilet i noticed a tiny, tiny little stain, mark type thing kinda just above my private area but i dont think it went through.. infact it may of been something i spilt on there?
What do you think?
Also..
When i came home today i noticed my urine is a really dark colour and very warm to pass.. and i have been discharging a bit aswell.. My period isnt due for another week at MINIMUM.. and i am not or never have been sexually active
Any suggestions? i just really need to stop worrying or have some kind of reassurence or to know the truth about if this is possible because otherwise it might delay my period and i'll think the worst!
Sorry its long!
Don't worry about it, the chances of you being pregnant are slim to none, stop worrying, you're fine :)
Well Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year. We really dig each other and all that cool stuff. Anywho we've decided we want to have sex. We're both virgins and it just seems right. I'm not on birth control and i'm a little scared the condom could break and i'd be screwed. I don't want kids and he doesn't either. But I can't get on birth control because of my high blood pressure problem. I really need some help as to what all we could do to prevent from anything bad happening. We've been talking about certain products we could use and so on but I think we could really use some other people's oppinions...Please Help.
What you guys could use is called Spermacide Cream, it kills sperm. That's the only other thing I can think of you guys to use other than a condom and birth control. Just make sure the condom doesn't have a rip in it before you have sex, and you should be fine. Another way you can help prevent from pregnancy is having him pull out before he comes. Hope I helped :)

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any stores that have clothes for people with bigger bodies, sort of like plus size clothes and stuff, but nice clothes. I know aeropostale has good clothes, but their shirts are short and I don't like them very much. All I'm really looking for are casual clothes stuff that goes good with jeans and shorts. Thanks guys = ]
A ton of stores I shop at have really great clothes for people with bigger bodies. Some are Fashion Bug (really cute clothes), Walmart (pretty cheap prices, good quality), Sears & Macy's (nice quality, all sizes), & JC Penney (really nice clothes for all sizes). Hope I helped :)
okay, i didn't know what category to put this in, but what does irony mean?, i looked up the definition on dictionary.com and i didnt understand it, so could someone, explain it to me better.. thanks
Basically irony is when the outcome of an event, etc. is different or the opposite of what was expected. It's really hard to explain, I tried. Hope I helped :)
I know this might maybe sound stupid but how do you know when your boyfriend is cheating on you or like doesnt like you anymore or is getting board of you ????
Basically you'll know when he doesn't return phone calls or doesn't call at all. Also when he gets annoyed by every little thing you do or say. Mostly you can tell by him not being happy around you, wishing he were somewhere else. Hope I helped :)
