which one cleans my teeth more efficiently, flossing before or after brushing? (link)
To succeed...

1. Brush your teeth for a minimum two minutes with toothpaste you like to brush with. Remember to rinse clearly.
2. Floss
3. Mouth Wash

This all leads to CLEAN and HEALTHY teeth, trust me!


hi, ok i live in britain, and was just wandering if the USA is really like what we see on tv shows or movies. the whole nice weather, youthful fun thing? like the OC and stuff like grease etc. because here in the UK there is virtually minimal youthful fun or whatever you want to call it. thanks in advance. (link)
Many people across the world dislike the American's and our society and DO NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH US.
U.S.A. isn't always like what you see on movies and tv's because they want to do that stuff to make it INTERESTING.

It's different weather across the world. California along the coast has a humid weather and has cool weather just like Florida.
I live in Colorado, and we can not predict the weather because of our Rocky Mountains.

It just depends where you live and normally on television, it's in San Diego, California, or in Florida or New York and those weathers are a nice cool weather because they have oceans nearby.


hello i'm 14/f i havn't started my period this month. i am a virgen. i'm really scared and don't know what to do. is it possible for you to skip a month? please tell me if this is normal. i'm rally scared because this has never happened to me. thanks please help! (link)
yep its normaal. basically, you could go up to 4 months if it irregular. unless youve had if for more than three years.

so dont worry!


My friend and I have been planning to go to the movies with our boyfriends this friday since last week. I started my period today and it made me a little dissapointed.. is there ANY way I can make sure it's done by Friday?

Thanks (link)
sorry, but you cant make it end.
just change the tampon several times during the day, because that means that you wont bleed as much at the time of the date, (once blood comes, it automatically goes to the cotton, so that way it should be a bit less by the time of the date)


Whenever I try to make curls (like ringlet curls) with my curling iron, it just curls the edges a little instead of what i want it to look like. i want it to look kind of like a spring if thatmakes sense. and don't tell me to get a different curling iron because it's the only one i have (and it's about an inch wide). is there a specific way to make your hair look like this?

thank you! (link)
what i do is right when i get out of the shower i put curling mousse in it i load it up with the moussee. i duck my head down and put it everywhere wile i scrunch it then if your sleeping on it or somthing put it in a bun at the top of your head or if your not sleeping on it blow dry it so it wont be so wet.

hope i helped


OK, I do not even know where to begin. I am 30 years old, married with 3 children. Lately, I have been feeling a real nervous breakdown coming on. OUr 2 younger children will not listen to anything we tell them & I mean ANYTHING. Yes, I understand they are little yet, but, we can smack their ass, ground them, put them in time out & they will keep on doing the very thing that gets them into trouble. My husbad has a decent job & I have a min wage job. Somehow, we are failng to make it! We have an outrageous mortage & other bills to pay & right now...we have no money & I mean nothing! Overdrawn in the bank & nothing in our pockets. I honestly don't know who to turn to right now. Everyone I know is sleeping & my husband is at work. I am crying & shaking as I write this now & my 3 year old is upstairs screaming as usual. I actually want to trash my house right now, which by the way is already a dump from no one picking aything up! I don't want to seem like a failure by checking into a mental hospital, but, I don't know what else to do! I don't think I can hold it in any longer. I hope someone out there is on here now. Thanks. (link)
i believe the UK suppernanny said that the first step to helping children, is helping the parents. i think you should do one of those bad children shows, or get someone who could give you advice like it. a bit like the show you have in the US nanny 911.


how long should it take to see results if you do 300 crunches a day (link)
if you do that many, probably between 2-3 weeks, maybe even 1 week!


I heard that gynos can tell whether u've had sex or not. Could they know if you masturbate? (Finger yourself)? And if so, will they inform the parents (link)
they can tell if your hymen is broken, but it is so easy to break it, such as tampons..
fingering your self, they wouldn tell, as well as sex

they probably wont tell the parents


female.. year 10

we are about to go back to school from break... i've always been fairly shy at school with few, but very good friends. I wear my back in a ponytail and i wear a minute bit of mascara... im starting to open up to people and am finding that im getting more friends...
I have decided that im getting a perm (i have thick hair) and i was planning on wearing a fair bit of make up on the firsst day back... so i could get noticed just for a laugh...once in assembly i got up and sung people say that i have a voice (even the popular people)... I'm always going to be me, i just want people to sit up and take notice of me once in a while! what do you think i should do? (link)
Hello there,

If you make yourself up, or act funny to be noticed, the people who notice you will always expect you to be made up or acting funny. If you dont' stay made up, or continue to act funny forever, eventually those same people will be disappointed in you.

Best to have a select group of people who like your company as you are.

If you aren't meeting enough people, get involved in activities that really interest you. You will meet people that have the same interests that way. :-)

Good luck.


Is it appropriate for my 12 year old 7th grade sister to wear a little makeup for when she cheerleads at football games. If so, what kind? (link)
yea.i would say lip gloss, clear mascara, and a little concealer possibly


ok so i cant look at this one persons profile/away message. my computer always says "Please Wait..." does this happen to anyone else and do you know what's wrong? thanks. (link)
sometime people have no clue what to make their profile so thay make it Please Wait.... lol like they would write it and thats their pro but if its not that then maybe theres and error loading??

Hope those helped, have fun.


I used to have two outdoor rabbits, but they died a few years ago. Me and my sister would really like another pair of bunnies, but if I asked my mum Im sure she would say no. My dad says he'll get me two, but he doesnt live with us, and hes only saying that to uspet my mum. Ive been dragging up the topic about rabbits all the time, and drawing them, whenever she sees me on the computer the screen says 'rabbit', or a picture of one. Have you got any ways on persuading her to let me have two? (link)
Sit down and talk to her with your sister, tell her why you two want rabbits and make some type of deal. Promise to take care of the rabbits, feed them, etc., and maybe promise to keep up your grades in school this year, clean your room, or do chores. Say please and if she agrees, thanks. You might also try to let her get you one for now, because she'll probably agree easier and wait a month or two to ask her for another. Hope everything works out.


I play soccer and the other day I went to the trainer because the front part of my leg is hurting. They told me that I have shin splints. They said that it can only heal with rest and that if I am to practice or play in a game, they were gonna tape it up. When I'm just walking around, it really hurts and I've been limping because of it. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening again after it heals? How can I reduce the pain? (link)
this one is good and easy:
while watching tv, sit in an upright position, with your legs out in front of you. (so you look like a 90 degree angle). than just make circles with your ankles, or even try to write out the alphabet with your ankles.

#2 >> You can also stand on your steps. So stand on one step on your tip toe, and stand kind of up, then down, like up on your toes, then down to your heels.

Those help get rid of it :)

GOOD LUCK!!


Hi
I really like this guy
and Im pretty sure he doesnt like me , but im not positive.
Me and him have been like fooling around alot and we've had sex once, but ever since we started doing that , thats all he's ever wanted to do and then at school he acts like someone totally different but we also started to have sex [for like 3 seconds literally] without a condom, but then i said to stop because i was scared, is there a big risk of me getting pregnant? Because Im very scared.
Thank you! (link)
if it was for 3 seconds, and he didnt like come in you than you wont be pregnant.


So it turned out that I wasn't ready to kiss him. So I didn't. Will there ever be another chance?

(link)
of course there will. dont worry about it. just take your time, and dont do anything your not ready for, because if you kiss too soon, it will ruin the moment


I am 16 years old and I had recently had to be transported from an ambulance to Santa Clara ICU because I had been diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome, my organs almost failed and I almost died. I was wondering if it would be okay for me to use tampons again but be more careful this time? ha, Cause I HATE pads. (link)
you can use them again, but you should be so careful.

i would suggest setting up alarms for when you have to change them (whether its on your cell phone, or your watch)


Hi. Im f/13. I am 5'7". I weigh 103. Do i need to gain? lose? are there charts that you can show me with healthy weights for girls my age? what signs (other than your lbs, coz bone size and stuff differs) show you are under or over weight? thank you. (link)
charts arent always right, but for your eight, if you want to be thin, you should be about 110. (103 is real light!)

but as long as you are eating healthily, you probably have not much to worry about.


well we just got into high school this year and there is a new girl in our grade. shes basically aqauntances with the whole grade (she's not like a loser, pretty jappy but nice) i talk to her sometimes when shes in my class.
anyway at lunch she was sitting by herself and then i asked her to sit with my friends. when she left my friends told me not to hang out with her cause they think/know she is a bitch.
but i don't want to be mean and stop talking to her.

what do i do ?! (link)
Who is going to be? Her or your buddies? Tough question huh?

If you like this girl, don't put your chin down, chin up man! (Not to be antigender)

Tell your friend she isn't a bitch and let them get to know her.

If they disagree with you, tell them give her a chance and give them a deal because you don't want to hurt her feelings.


How do i get my ipod to work on someone elses computer?? When i try to do it, it says that no ipod is plugged in. I just got a new computer and it will not accept my ipod. thank you. (link)
The computer has not regonized it and it thinks maybe you are cheating or something werid like that. Update the latest iTunes from www.ipod.com and it should work!!!
