about

Hey! First off, i'm going to start by saying I came here on this site to give people advice. Some people actually don't know the real meaning of advice. They think its the answers they want to hear. But i'm not here for that. I'll give you advice, and it might be something you don't want to hear. But deal with it! You may take my advice or not, its completely up to you and you are not gaurnteed a correct solution.

Ok so now that's clear, I'll talk to you more about myself. Hence the username... I play volleyball. It is my passion and basically my life since I've played for about 7 years. Most of my friends say i'm 50/50 tomboy and girly girl. I LOVE sports!! I play volleyball all year round, and then I go to the park during free times to play some soccer, football, hockey, basketball or baseball with my friends. But then again, I could be inside trying on my new Sephora makeup i'd just gotten, or reading the latest Seventeen magazine or even arranging my clothes for school tomorrow.

You can ask me just about anything and i'll be happy to answer it. You can count on a full and detailed answer.

Oh and another thing... I love getting feedback! Even if its a negative comment. It tells me what I need to work on or even what I did correct.

BODY EXERCISES AND WORKOUTS! my way or the highway

advice

On my right knee I have a medium sized bump on the left side of it, but it isn't on my left knee. All of the sudden the knee that has the bump will start hurting really bad every now and then. After walking or running for a while, my right knee hurts bad and my left one doesn't. When I press down on it, it barely hurts, but it feels like its pushing against the bone or whatever is in your knee. No, the bump doesn't move or anything. Does anyone know what is could be?

I have no idea what this could be... sorry! The best thing I can say is just get it checked out by the doctor.

I hope I helped!

This might be long, thanks for reading if you do.

Ok I get scared really easily. It doesn't even have to be a big deal, most of the time it isn't.

Here's a few examples..

*There was a spider by my bed the other day, and that night I could NOT go near my bed because I was afraid it was still there, or that there was more. And everytime I got in it I felt them crawling on me. So I had to sleep on the couch.

*I was home alone during the day while my parents were working and someone called and hung up. I really started getting scared that someone was watching me or something.

*Everytime I watch a scary movie, I dwell on it. Like I think about what would I do if that happens to me, or how could someone do that etc. I know it's simple to say just don't watch them but it's the way I feel that's upsetting, not the movie.

Everytime I get scared I have to tell myself to breathe or I'll literally hyperventilate.

I'm so afraid of people. I know not everyone is bad but these days, it's hard to tell who is and isn't.

I'm just so afraid to live life. No one really even knows about this. I don't know what to do anymore. I just wanna live my life like a normal teenager. It's pretty sad when you have to check under your bed at night when you're 17 years old!

That being said, does anyone have any advice on how I can help myself overcome this problem? Or any advice at all..

Thanks

okay, this happens to me too! my brother tells me that the best soultion is this- so if something happens ((ex.- scared of the dark)) go in a dark room, relax and force yourself to stay there. You'll see in about 2 minutes that theres nothing there. Or in your case, the spider story. when you see a spider, go into bed, check the bed, shake the covers, check the floors ((this may seem silly because you said it's weird for a 17 year old to do this, but you only do this once, then you never have to do it again cuz you wont be scared.)) Check if theres a spider. Then... get into bed, leave the lights on and just lay down. Relax for about 5-10 minutes. Soon you'll see that theres nothing there. Then close the lights and relax for 5-10 minutes, you'll see that theres nothing there. Now close your eyes and sleep, you'll see theres nothing there.

I hope I helped!

Is there anyway that I can cover up all these ugly pimples i have all over my face?

thank you.

Dont put concealer on your pimples!!!!! It makes them even worse! You get 3 times more dirt and oil in your skin and that causes soo many more pimples. You can cover them up with concealer, but I strongly suggest you dont! Dont worry... everybody gets pimples. So dont cover them up! Use oxy pads

and an acne medication
http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100303&navAction=jump&navCount=1&id=prod382871

those realllly help!
so dont use concealer or foundation! It just makes so much more pimples

I hope I helped!

Today I randomly started going through my elementary school memories and I thought about how there was never anything to worry about and how it was really peaceful and joyful. The memories I have are so detailed that I just started crying. I miss not ever worrying about anything and not ever having a reason to be sad. I'm only 16 and I already long to be young again. What do I do?

This may sound dorky... but you're already young! Most teenagers really hate it to be young, so they act all mature and start dating and acting like a woman. But you have about 80 or so more years to live! The year for me when you start getting old is around 40's. Thats young for me. When you hit your 45's thats when you start getting gray hairs and start wishing you were a little kid again. So hon, right now... you are still a kid!!! Act like one! I'm 14 years old and all of my friends are already wearing make-ups, dating guys, and acting like they are 30. And now this is me- I am just a kid who has fun! I play sports, I'm not dating until i'm at least 18, I wear make-up only for special occasions. You're 16, enjoy it! Be a kid. Suuure that you're friends will think "oh my god, she's acting soo immature!" NOOO you're not! You're acting the way you're supposed to be. If you really miss you're childhood, go back to it! Go bowling or jump on the trampoline, gather your neighbors and play night games... do everything just like you were when you were 8. Trust me, It'll feel amazing. You have the rest of your life to become an adult... once you're an adult you'll wish to become like a kid again. So for right now, stick to being a kid. Its way to soon to start acting all grown up.

What are some good ways to make your eyes pop? I wanna wear this coral colored shirt but it makes me look crappy because my face just looks blahh with the color. I want my eyes to stand out. if it helps I have brown/hazel eyes. THANKKKK you.

I have the same eye color as you! Purple really makes brown eyes stand out. What you should also do to make them stand out is get a white highlighter eye pencil, and just line the inside corner of your eyes with it. It makes your eyes look bigger and brighter. Then put a gold or a shimmery transparent eye shadow right under your eyebrows. That makes your entire eye really stand out... not only just your eyelids. Put on 2 layers mascara and then your eyes are verrry pretty!

okay well i like this guy and i know that he likes me so how do i talk to him. i am really shy.

If you're really shy, write him a note! Or send him an email or an IM. If you like him and he likes you, you have to tell him what you're feelings are. Tell him that you're shy. He'll understand and will make sure that nothing goes wrong.

I hope I helped!

no matter how i try to study... i just can't seem to be able to. are there any ways for studying?? i'm currently in the 9th grade and i passed every other grade 8 and under. but i think i should REALLY try this year. please give me some advice.

Mathematics: needs tons of work.
Social Studies: needs lots of work.
Spanish: i wanna get a head start on this language.
English: needs help with story writing.

thank you XD

I say go to a tutor. They are very helpful. If you dont want a tutor, ask your teachers if you can come in early for school or stay late for school so they can help you. Trust me on this, if you ask your teachers, they will be surprised and will know that you really want to improve your grades. So they'll pay extra attenion to you and will understand. Another thing you can do is study... but you dont have to study when you're awake! If you have a recorder ((if you dont, buy one!)) tape yourself saying your homework. For example... Math- you could say into the recorder 5 x 5 = 25. ((obviously not that... something that you need to study is what you say into there.)) and then when you're sleeping, play the recorder. This works soo well!!!! your brain actually listens to this as you're sleeping. so you can study while you're sleeping too! thats awesome isnt it??

for spanish- Get rosetta stone
http://www.rosettastone.com/en/?a=b
you have to buy it I think, but it helps soo much!!

I hope I helped and all goes well!

So, i'm going to this new school and i got involved with this guy J. I'm 15, sophomore, and he's a junior... 16 i think. We've been kinda like dating since basically the beginning of school and last friday he kissed me [finally]. We were talking and he was telling me how he really wants a serious relationship and how he wants to take it slow to make sure i dont get hurt (this was on friday) and i told him that that's fine. WELLLLLLL this whole week he has been ignoring me and i dont know why.. its really bothering me. He keeps flirting with this other girl Z (who's a freshman) and hes basically started avoiding me. Its really annoying. So... i dont know wat to do!! please help :( thanks..

TALK TO HIM!!! If this is bothering you, its urgent that you talk to him. If he wont talk to you and keeps ignoring you, send him emails, notes, IM's... anything!!! If he STILL wont talk to you... it sounds like he's lost interest in you and has found another girl. So if he still wont stop ignoring you, just dump him and find a guy that will respect you. ask him "whats up? Why are you ignoring me?"

I hope I helped!

17 female I didn't brush my teeth alot when I was little like I was suppose to and now that iam older i've been brushing my teeth 3 times a day and they are like really yellow and there is a big brown stain on my teeth how do I get my teeth whiter besides brushing them?

yeah, just like the other advicenator said. Go to the dentist. They'll tell you how to take care of it and what you have to do. They'll probably send up an expert to do your teeth so they're much whiter.

I hope I helped!

Hi um I was wondering what the difference is between a guyfriend and a boyfriend.
And what you do with a boyfriend? Haha like umm. What do u while ur their bf or gf

Thx please answer
!
Best wishes,
B.

Guyfriend- is just like you're best friend. You hang out with each other, tell each other secrets... but you dont like him more than that.

Boyfriend- when he likes you back and you both kiss, hold hands, flirt. You mainly have strong feelings for him.

I hope I helped!

Hi:)
Theres this guy and its a long story but to make it short we both like each other. We have broken up before and he wants to talk to me about it and maybe we would be able to get back together. The problem is that I am soooo shy and I just cant talk to him. I really want to and be able to go up to him and mess around but I get quiet and super self conscious but I know that I look okay because I had just looked in the mirror. I really love him so what should I do to be able to talk to him? THANKS SO MUCH!

okay, so if he wants to talk to you, YOU SHOULD TALK TO HIM! Write him an email, note, IM... tell him that you're really shy. If you dont tell him what you're feeling right now, there could be problems with your relationship. So first off, tell him that you're shy. He'll understand and try his best so that you're comfortable. When you see him and you get uncomfortable, its VERY important that you tell him. Because just like I said, If you dont tell him, there could be problems.

I hope I helped!

Ok I have a horrible pimple or something and it's absolutely painful, I can't sleep, I can't move my face at all or its hurts. I've been googling and Yahooing results and I read about the fact that it could be an ingrown hair. Whatever it is, are there ANY tips of how I can get this pain to go away?

It's very close to the crease of my nose but it feels almost marble sized and it's seriously keeping me awake all night.

Thanks in advance guys!

hmm... I really have no clue what this could be. You should get it checked out by the doctor immediatly! It sounds pretty serious. To get the pain to go away, try icy hot. Or just ice it so it's numb. If its a pimple, I dont think it would hurt that badly. But just in case, wash it with soap about 3 times a day to get all of the dirt out. If you do that and its not gone in about a week, I really think you should go get it checked out.

I hope I helped!

well...i think i like this kid named connor (im a girl by the way) but i also think i like this kid named darryl. im not sure which one that i really like.

well connor is alot like me..but darryl is different, not to mention i barely know anythink about him!!!

help me decide which 1 i like!!

weeeellll... I cant really make the decion for you. You have to make that decion. Do a Pro and Con situation. Which one do you have more in commen with? Who's nicer? Who's nice to other people? Who's caring? I think you get the picture... if you dont know anything about Darryl, get to know him. Hang out with both guys for a limited time. Such as 3 days with each guy. For the total 6 days, see which guy you had more fun with. Follow your heart.

I hope I helped!

(13/f) Okay, so there's this one boy in my 1st hour advanced band class and i really suck at band. Anyway, I don't want to embarrass myself and he's in the chair right behind me, so, he can see and hear how I play(which is not too well). He's mainly the class clown and is always cracking jokes. He's really cute and yesterday(which was the first day of school) he got in trouble and had to move up next to me and so he like, whispered in my ear, "I love you" in a really goofy voice so obviously I know he's joking. But I developed a crush on him instantly but I know he has a girlfriend because I saw him sitting with her at lunch. I am REALLY quite shy and I want to talk to him and be noticed but I don't know how! Can anyone help?

How do you even know that he has a girlfriend??? have you seen them kiss or hold hands or something like that?? What I say is first make sure that he's not dating somebody. If he's dating somebody, dont do anything! wait until the time is right. But if he's not dating somebody, to get him to notice you is to be friendly to him. When he makes a joke, laugh at it. for example- that goofy "i love you" voice... you should laugh at that and say "same to you" in the same goofy voice. That shows that you like his jokes and also are interested in him. First become friends with him. Talk to him and laugh at his jokes. Then start to flirt with him and just ask him out.

I hope I helped!

i have a problem. a guys likes me i like hima nd my friend likes him. what now? thanks in advance

Talk to your friend. Ask her if you can go out with him. You dont want to go out with him, and get your friend all mad, but then also if you don't go out with him and let you're friend go out with him, he'll be heart broken. I think the best solution is just to drop him and find a guy that you're friend would'nt like.

I was very good friends with this guy named Michael last year. We would call each other and stuff. People were always telling us we should go out. He also was hinting a lot about going to the movies. So, I'm pretty sure that he liked me. Over the summer we still talked a lot on the phone except we talked even longer than during school and we would always talk with each other on IM. We still talk on IM some, but I'm always the first to IM him! Since school has started again, he only talks to me if he's asking me for gum, which I think is stupid of him. Why won't he talk to me anymore?!

people change.... did you ever do anything to him??? Ask him what's up on AIM and see why he's doing this. If he wont respond, email him or call him. better yet, talk to him in person so he can actually see what you're feelings are. Ask him why he's acting this way. People change a lot, so maybe he just wants to hang out with somebody new.

I hope I helped!
