I'm Hayley, I'll try to help you as best I can. I'm 18, and a senior in high school. I like art, music, and clothing. I'm a vegetarian abd have been consistent with it for four years. I have two dogs a westie named misty and a Maltese/poodle mix named mally. I know a lot about dogs because any time
my dogs get a scratch, I research and call the vet haha.

ok well im the type of girl who is sooo self consious. i ALWAYS wear sweatshirts and i roll my pants up to my knee and i always wear sneakers. I want to break out of that. i AM a really pretty girl and i know it but one problem. I am VERY busty. like im not moster busty im like busty enough to look about um 2 years older than i am and yea. So what shirts would would look good on me to flatter my chest (B34 btw) thank you soo much

-sigh- you don't sound very self conscious to me. If you are saying you are pretty, & you think you are, then.. I have a hard time believing your self conscious. If your 12 & older.. then your also not busty at all, inless your comparing yourself, to little twigs in your grade. They don't count.

I just thought I'd clear that matter up for you.
But, clothes wise, what your wearing, right now.. is what makes it less noticeable. You shouldn't be ashamed of what you have, or who you are. That brings people down so easily, it can make you depressed.. like to a dangerous level. It happened to someone I once knew. She ended up killing herself. .... I hope that didn't scare you, I wasn't trying too. I was just telling you reality. If you don't feel good about yourself, who will?

I am trying to get fit this summer so that I can do well in the cheerleading competition squad. Any tips that can help me condition myself?

Eat healthy.
I'm captain of my cheerleading team, & we always have to run all the way around the football field. I don't know how far that is, but.. I would run a mile. & then also, do the stretches they do, like spread your legs out, & then grab your foot with your arm. & you can also, stand straigh up, & try to grab your ankles. Basically, get flexible. & fit. Hope everything works out! Bye =)

i have to get a tetanus shot in a couple days to go to mexico. ive heard a lot of things that it really hurts. im 16, how bad does it hurt?

I'm 14.
& I've gotten like 2.
I hae shots. When I was little, I would run around the room screaming, & telling them they couldn't touch me. They had to get like 4 nurses in there, to make me stay still. I found out, that it hardly hurts at all. Espically, if you don't watch. So, just look the other way. When I got my one tetanus shot, I just looked the other way, & I was like waiting for it to be over, & she was just looking at me for like a minute & shes like "Okay, its over" I didn't even realize it.The first one I got, it hurt a little. Its just a little more then a pinch. It shouldn't be a big deal for you, if your 16. =) Hope that helped! bye.

My dad is mad at me because I bought a bathing suit that cost $35. It was really good quality and material, and it's the one I've been wanting for a month now! It's really pretty and I don't have ANY other bathing suits that fit me. I think $35 for both pieces is cheap considering at American Eagle they are much more then that. Do you think it's a good price? My dad flipped out on me! He said to go to Walmart and get $10 ones, but personally I think all the clothes at Walmart are crap and they arn't even worth $15 ! How do I explain that $35 is a good price for a bathing suit, and even though Walmart's is cheaper, it's not good quality. He said if I can think of 3 good reasons to why the bathing suit is worth $35 I can keep it. Help?

ONE: my bathing suit was like, 60 dollars.. & i got it from target, because i was going somewhere.

TWO: bathing suits at abercrombie & places like that.. [where i usually get mine] are like 40, or higher.

THREE: if it was your money, then you can do whatever you please.

FOUR: if you've never worn a walmart bathing suit, dont be critizing it, my friend got one from there.. & shes had it for years now, & its really cute..& it wasn't '10' dollars. I don't know who you think you are.. but, just because its from 'walmart' doesn't mean its cheap.

its a really good price, 35 dollars.. for a flippin bathing suit, is dirt cheap. you could probaly get something from a thrift store.. just a little less. so yeah, whatever.

it's summer and i need some extra cash for necessities. what are some jobs i could do? and if anybody suggests soemthing like cleaning/dog walking ora ntyhing HOW DO I ASK people if they want ym services? and how? like how do i say i want 4.00 an hour (or how ever many) w/out sounding demanding? what would you want to hear? and what would uw ant done around the house? or outside? whatver. what would u want to heaR? ANY ADVICE ABOUT GETTING MONEY WOULD BE GREAT

I have a paper route, its so easy. All you have to do is drop a piece of paper by someones door, or in the mailbox. You have to get up early, but.. who cares. I make 100 dollars, a month. I think thats pretty good for me.. since I'm only 14. But yeah, you may not make as much. It depends how big your route is. Also, babysitting is like thee best. You can eat there food. =) What I did.. is went around the neighborhood, & asked if they ever needed a babysitter. I also made flyers & put them at the rec, church, & the grocery store. I got alot of money babysitting. Personally, I think a paper route is better though, its only like an hour of your time, & its only once a week. So yeah. I hope that helped! Bye =)

Okay this boy just asked me out and I said yes. I'm 13 and I'm in 7th grade and he's 17 and he's in 9th grade. That's a 4 years age difference so I'm not sure if I should keep going out with him what do you think? I know he loves me he said he said he will respect me and he doesn't care how old I am. He doesnt want you know what, and he's really sweet. I'm sure he really likes me. What do you think of this?

I think its fine... as long as he NEVER presures you to do anything that you DON'T want to do. As long as he doesn't want to start doing things that is past your age limit, like sexs, drugs, alcohal[sp hahah] Then, I think its all good. I'm in 7th grade & 13 too [well soon to be 14 & going into 8th but same thing.] & I dated a 9th grader before.. & he was all sweet at first, & then all he was about was he kept pressuring me into do things I didn't want to do. But, you'll probaly find that with any guy you date. But, its alot worse if someone older is saying that, because there suppose to be maturer. & as long as your sure he really likes you, then its ok. I hope everything works out! Bye =)

i have acne on my forehead and lately i have been noticing that there have been these red dots all over my face.. there are like 5 or 6 of them and they keep on coming.. they are at random spots and im pretty sure these are not acne becaues i have never had zits on my actual face other than my forehead. does anyone know what this is? and how can i get rid of it?

Do you have bangs? I used to get acne there too.. from not washing your hair daily. I got it when I was in like 4th grade. [you know the times when you take showers like every other day.. because you're not in puberty yet.] But, I finally got it all cleared up because it got soo bad. Those red dots, are probaly acne.. or like posion ivy or something.. have you been in the woods lately? Are you allergic to anything? I'd ask your mom about it, & then maybe go see a doctor. Also, if it is acne.. proactiv is theee best. All that other junk that says 'gone in 3 days' it doesn't. It takes 2 weeks for acne to fully go away. So, I'd get proactiv.. its expensive..like 50 dollars, but I gurantee its worth it. Don't get the TV stuff.. for 20 dollars, its only samples. =) But, yeah! Hope everything works out! Bye.

do you think the vietnam war and the agent orange could have made him sick in the head becouse he was in the vietnam war.

Its possible. I mean, it could've been more of like a mental sickness. But, something with the way, could have affected him. He also could've been drunk. You won't know the truth intil you just sit your mom down & ask her. Hope I helped! bye =)

Limewire was the best... intill it gave me viruses. =/ So, inless you have really really good like virus protection.. I wouldn't use it. Because I finally got good virus protection the one time & when I checked the thing, like what viruses i had & where it came from.. it said Limewire. & it was too late & we had to buy a new computer. So... yeah idno. I suggest you just get itunes. Its worth it. & its virus free.

Hey iam a 17 year old girl and the other night I asked my mom why she divorced my dad when I was 3 becouse she never told me,but when I asked she said the reason I divorced your dad when you were 3 was becouse he molested you when you were 3 I was like really shocked becouse me and my dad were always so close before he died when I was 12 I don't know what to belive anymore iam so confused if I can't trust my dad who can I trust anymore?how can I find out if this is true since my dad died when I was 12?I've tried asking my granny my dad's mom becouse I figured she would tell me the truth,but she didn't want to talk about,she just said now rachel you know that's not something polite to talk about.I didn't mean to be rude,but I was just so desperate I felt like I had to find out.what should I do?please help me iam so confused.I don't even know if this is something I should be trying to find out or if I have the right to be confused and scared.what should I do?

Your father was probaly unhealthy that he did it. When people like that do that.. they are usually sick in the head. I think its true, because nobody wanted to discuss it with you. I'm sure your mother would not lie to you about something so serious like that. I'm sorry that that happened to you. & I hope things get better! bye.

ok well i have this friend you see whos in 8th grade and she hasnt had sex yet but her and her boyfriend are VERY close. SHES NEVER GOTTEN UNDRESSED WITH HIM OR ANYTHING they are just the type who like to have uhh dry sex ;P well now she said on her "downstairs" theres this wart or pimple thing down there..what could it be from??? please help she is bawling and she thinks shes going to have to have creepy old dude look at her downstairs! lol thanks soo much!!

You really shouldn't be concerned about sexs at your age. I'm the same age & yeah I have had many offers to do it with people. But, I've never gone through with it.. neither have they. I don't know where you live, or what its like there.. but where I live that is very bad morals. & thee approiate age is to do it at 16. or.. atleast when everyone stars.

Does she save her.."downstairs" [as you call it.]
? Because, if so.. that is caused by when you shave it its like sensitive. She doesn't need to go see a doctor. All she needs to do, is start using that stuff that removes it without shaving [the word isn't coming to my head at the moment.] So yeah.. hope that helped. Bye.

uhm i am wondering.. how do you know when your breast stop growing?

and i have another question but it is okay if you dont answer it when did your breast stop growing?

Did it hurt when it was growing?

One: Your breasts stop growing at the age of 19. or around there.

Two: My breasts are still growing, because I'm only 14. [40 C. CHYEAH. =)]

Three: As far as I'm concerned, it does not hurt at all. Sometimes though, if you wear the wrong kinda bra.. it makes your breasts very tender. But, thats about it. =)


Bye!

14/f. i've checked my BMI on many sites and some sites say that i'm underweight and some say that i'm normal. My BMI is around 17. but i still have some fat around my lower stomach. is it still safe to do crunches and exercise to try to lose that fat? i'm 14, 5'3" and i weight about 98 pounds. but my stomach is still buldgie. what can i do? without becoming underweight?

ONE: lucky, i hate you. =P. 98 pounds & 5'3? pshh. i'm 105 & 5 foot. so you suck. ha no just playin..

Maybe, you just think your fat. Like, sometimes I think I'm fat. & then I go to like the pool & she all my friends there who I think our skinny, in bathing suits, & like my stomach is way tinier. It's just how you view yourself. I usually ask my mom, if I'm actually like fat. Or something.. because my mom is very honest. Try it. Ask your mom, or someone you know that is very honest. & go from there..

In your honest opinion...

How realistic is it to think that you will one day marry your first love? I don't think it's likely, but it happens, right? I'm 16 and he is 17. And I've never felt this way about anyone in my entire life. I just want to experience everything in life with him. We talk about getting married sometimes, I mean seriously talk about it. When we do talk about it he tells me that he is serious, that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.

Opinions? Advice Please?

I think its very realistic that you will marry your first love. Actually, I read something in a magazine, that you usually marry a person you dated in your younger years. I don't think thought you two should be getting married at such a young age. If I were you, I would go to college, get a job.. then if you are still together [that would also prove if its true love, if you stayed together] then get married. Because, if it doesn't work out you are able to support yourself. & if he really does want to spend the rest of his life with you.. & he cares about you, then he'll think that its a great idea, to go to college & such first.

&& if you don't go to college.. then get a job first. Like, a good job.

I'm a Christian. Lately, I've been worried about something. I've been thinking things like "What if Christianity isn't the true religion and Islam/Buddhism is?" Basically I'm scared that Christianity may not be the true religion. I believe in Jesus, but what if Islam is the true religion? Then I would go to Hell forever because of one decision, you know? It makes me scared =(. What do you think..?

You would not go to hell. God is understanding. Its the religion you were raised with. You need to believe that God would never do that too you. He wouldn't make you suffer. Personaly, I basically believe, that all religions should like join together, if you believe in one & only God.. then your fine.

Here is the deal.. Lately I've been thinking alot about if god is real or not.. I don't know if I should believe it.. I mostly think that life was created by mostly scientific reasons.. The bible could really be made up from along long time ago..Nobody really knows right? Has anybody ever been touched by god? If I do not believe in god what would I be?

You believe in God by faith. Thats all there is too it. I believe in God. Because, I feel he works mircales with me all the time. Whenever I'm sick, I pray to God I will get better, & in the next 5 minutes, I'm better. I mean its been where I've been like ready to throw up, & it goes away the minute I pray. I've had moments where I wished I could have a dream about osmeone I miss deeply, & I do that night. You may just think.. that its just a coincidence. I believe differently. I've done that too, some things I do believe scientificly, others I believe God. Mostly, I believe that God has made everything. But, I know some thinks makes me question too. I dno, no biggie. =)

thanks
