Get an agent, meet with talent scouts. That's all you can do. Get involved with various musical stage productions in your area - from school & local theatre to off-broadway productions.

Okay my question is about halloween...im going to be a thug and i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get silver or gold covers for my teeth...you know how you see all the rappers and stuff with the gold n silver teeth....well does anybody know where to get them?? thnkx sooo much!! (link)
| |
I've seen temporary tooth caps at various costume shops around the area. They have them for blacked-out teeth, silver, gold, pointy, etc... Shop around or call costume stores in your area. They are usually pretty cheap, too - just a couple bucks.

What age do you consider to be old enough to have a baby. Not like.. "when you feel you are ready" or anything like that.. i mean like.. 16.. 20..
how old do you think someone should be before they have a baby? (link)
|
AGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
You should not have a baby until:
1) You have a stable relationship with someone.
2) You have the maturity to raise a child ON YOUR OWN.
3) You have the financial means to afford raising a child.
Age has NOTHING to do with having a baby. Any dumbass can get knocked up and pop out babies like a pop machine. But should they? Probably not.

How do you take a pregnancy test like at home? No im not pregnant im just wondering. (link)
|
you go to the store, buy a kit, take it home...
then you open the box and read the instructions, which typically tell you to pee on a stick (no, really... you put a stick into the urine stream and it detects the precences of a hormone that is only found in a pregnant woman)... then you wait to see if the stick changes colors.
the end.
these kits can give a false negative result if the hormone isn't very strong in the system yet... but they cannot give a false positive. If you get a positive result, then you ARE pregnant.

hi i just got my 3rd to last filling and im numb!! ive had novocaine before btu this time its relay bothering me!! does ne1 no how to make the numness go away because my mom just cooked a really good dinner and last tie i tried eating i chewed half of my lip up lol. and he always has to double on my novocaine because i have sensitive gums or whatsoever. i want to eat!! duz neone no how to get rid of the numbness or at least make it go away faster?? kthnx (link)
| |
all you can do is wait it out... the novacaine was injected, so all you can do is wait for your body to process the drug. Sorry. There is really nothing you can do other than wait.

hey ok i play volleyball and we want some warn up music 2 listen 2 kuz other skools have it and we thought it was a good idea does en1 have en ideas of wut songs 2 use like upbeat music and no cussing (link)
| |
generally, I hear a lot of dance beats, up-tempo pop songs, early 80s new wave music, and metal on most warm-up tapes... we made a tape a few years ago when coaching both boys and girls high school VB and included some instrumental speed metal - seemed to work well.

my friend is being extremely annoying. most of our group of friends got into advanced 9th classes (we're in 8th) and she didn't. she constantly says she's stupid and we're all smarter than her, and that isn't true. (she was probably 1 point away from getting in advanced anyway.) whenever she looks at our books, she makes a face and rolls her eyes. now, i can understand why she's upset, but we all know and it's getting really old really fast. what can i tell her to stop this?? (link)
|
Yeah, that's never an easy thing to deal with. I can understand this from both ends. When in school it is hard to separate your social lives from your academic lives, thus school blends with all else... because of this, your friend is constantly reminded of what she is seeing as a shortcoming. And as such, she is going to get defensive and feel left out.
All I can suggest is to not let her dwell on the differnces in coursework. Talk about other things. Make a point to not gloat about the classes you are in that she is not. She needs to be able to realize that you are not at fault for this, and that there is nothing you can do about it.
Perhaps she could also use this as motivation to prove herself so that maybe she can enter into advanced courses eventually, too. If she's that close to getting in, then working harder on her end should make her point to also get in.

14/f One of my friends is really starting to annoy me. It's not anything in particular that she does that gets on my nerves, it's just about everything she does. Some stupid/odd/quirky things she does that I used to like about her just annoy me. She's one of my best friends and I don't want to lose her. How can I stop being annoyed with her? I really don't want to be. (link)
|
You either learn to accept that this is the way your friend is, or you learn to tune her out.
Should you attempt to force your friend to change, then you're implying that you are somehow better than her, and that is going to piss her off, and justifably so.

How long can sperm live outside of the body? (link)
|
Refrigerated, it can live quite a while. Cryogenically frozen, it can exist in stasis indefinitely.
Beyond that, I've no clue, nor should it be a concern for anyone unless you have some really strange habits that you don't need to be sharing with anyone.

This may be kinda long, but I need to ask someone. I just started taking birth control pills 3 weeks ago. I think I may be pregnant but, I havent missed my next scheduled period. Since I just started taking the pill, that messes up my cycle for this month. I have other signs of possibly being pregnant. Being on my pills the nurse told me I should be getting my period around the 13th of this month. My boyfriend and I are very sexually active..in fact every night. I know we shouldnt do it, but it is unprotected each time. Is there a way that I could find out now if I could be pregnant..like take a pregnancy test tomorrow and find out? Im really nervous and want to know if I am now. I need to know what to do soon. Thanks. (link)
| |
Pee on a stick, see if it changes color... pregnancy kits cannot give a false positive. They can give a false negative though. However, if you really need to find out, then you need to get a test kit and follow the instructions.
|
If you've never gotten your period and you have sex, then you can't get pregnant, am I correct?
Oh, and I'm not that young, so don't be like if you haven't gotten your period, then your not old enough, lets just say I'm in High school (link)
| |
That is not necessarially correct.

When i burn my music to a CD-RW, my computer closes the cd, there for making it a cd-r. how can i stop it from closing the cd? (link)
| |
There is usually either a setting in the preferences menu of your burning software, or a dialog box/area on the actual interface when the burning software is open. I'd look in both places. I have a 2 version old install of Easy CD Creator, and the option of whether or not I close (finalize) a CD is right there in the bottom right-hand corner of the CD record interface panel.

how do u grow ur hair out fast? (link)
|
the short answer: you can't.
Everyone's hair grows at its own pace. Stress can cause hair and fingernails to grow faster.
Also, not all your hair grows all the time - hair follicles take turns growing - so what is actively growing right now will be dormant in a while, and other follicles will be growing.

I have pretty dark arm hair, and my arms are kinda hairy. How can I make it look a lot less obvious(without completely shaving it off). help! thanks! i rate! (link)
| |
if you're that worried about it, you can bleach it, dye it, or have it removied via waxing or electrolosis.
|
okay well i usually get my period around every 21 days.
i was supposed to get it like 5 days ago but it never came
i know its normal for periods to be irregular at this age but i've had my period for 4 YEARS now.
so why did it skip? what are some possible reasons? help im scared!
and im not pregnant because i never had sex before. (link)
| |
Stress, changes in diet, increase in physical activity, etc... can all delay the onset of your period. Unless it never comes back, you have little to worry about.

i've been working in a a really cool shop in my mall, its mostly girls that work here for some reason, i am one of them, recently we've been 'recruiting' so theres a few new staff, and one is this guy, not my type at all, plus i'm already taken'..it was all okay at the begining, and i didnt think anything of it, but its started to speculate in my mind that he might be trying to take advantage to touching me, i mean i'm pretty much buddys with all in there,and none of them touch me, not sexually but just plain his hand touching my arms and shoulders, then one day i was sitiing there just eating and he spent like 15 min in the loo, he came out asked me how i was and stuff then just before he went back to wrk he ebnd down slightly to touch my leg, i just pretended to ignore it and carry on reading, but my mind was not at all in the book, now i feel really uncomfortable around him, what do you think i should do.........? (link)

That is harassment, plain and simple. If you cannot talk to him yourself, go over his head and report it to his manager. If that's not an option, report it to the owner. Don't let abusive behaviour continue like that.

my friend has an attitude problem. she'll come to school sometimes and be all pissed off and in a bad mood, and the rest of us have to deal with it. but if we give him just a tiny bit of an attitude, she'll get all mad and say we're all ridiculous and have problems. lately it's really been making me mad, and i'm sick of it. anything i can say to make her realize she doing this, and make her stop?? (link)

Devise a plan. Get buy-in from your friends. Feed the same crap back to her. The next time she comes at you all being pissy, give her the same reaction she gives you when anyone else is having a bad day. Lay it on thick - make it drive her nuts. And if she gets angry about it, just say, "Gee, it's alright you to act this way, but we can't?" Better yet, hand her a crowbar and say, "Your head appears to be lodged up your ass. Please pry it free before you lose all your friends." Or simply say, "Your attitude sucks ass. Grow up, you selfish (insert explitive of choice)."
People like this don't want to hear it. And when it only comes from one person, they refuse to believe it. But if everyone agrees to do this and follows through with the plan, then maybe some good can come of it.
It is never fair when someone who is supposed to be a friend feels that they can dump their anger on everyone, but refuse to be dumped upon themselves - it is just rude and selfish.

what is the best thing to put on cuts and sratches to make the marks go away? thanx (link)

neosporin is good... also a mild peroxide solution can be helpful.

how come people say it is bad for a 13 year old to be friends or have a realationship wit a 16 year old? (link)
| |
Because generally the 13 year old is significantly less mature than the 16 year old, or the 16 year old has designs on taking advantage of the 13 year old's naivete.

14/f I wasn't sure what category to put this under. I had this dream about this guy at school that I kind of like. I dreamt that I was pregnant with his baby and we were a couple. I'm only 14, but in my dream I was entirely happy about this. What does this dream mean? (link)
|
really... it was a dream, therefore it doesn't mean anything. Dreams are whimsy - you can try to read meaning into them, but it is useless. Dreams don't rerepsent our secret desires, our subconsious wants, or anything like that. It is just our brain's way of burning off extra energy and it does so in an oft entertaining way, processing various thoughts and memories in strange ways, blending them into a strange tapestry of surrealism.
Dreams don't mean anything.
