I have naturally curly hair. I strighten it all the time so its never curly. But now that school is almost here and ill have homework ill never have time to strighten it. So is there a shampoo and anything that will make my hair stright without me having to strighten it? (link)
NO, there isn't. I have naturally curly hair, and I love it? Why don't you? I think people with curly hair makes them more beautiful than girls with straight hair...straight is kinda boring only if it fits their face. Here are some ideas
1. Get a perm so it can be straight for a few months
2. Put it in a ponytrail, and straightend the ponytail if you can
3. Straigten it at night
4. Don't take a shower daily ( i know, kinda disgusting)


my boyfriend is goin to be 19 next month.. and i have no idea what i should do for him. i want to surprise him somehow .. with his best friend and his gf and me.. and do somethin special for him.. but i dont know what i should do for his birthday.. like i already know what to get him.. but the problem is what should i do on his birthday ? (link)
Your boyfriend is turning 19...okay and then you said his best friend and his gf and me...does he have two gf or are you the only one and you meant his best friend, himself and you? If you do...
Possibilities
1. Movies
2. Mall
3. Swimmin'
4. Arcade
5. Zoo
6. Picnic and something else
7. Restraunt


ok i burnt my finger with my hair straightener on thursday nite and today its all blistered and bubbly. anything i can do ? (link)
I've done that, and it hurts, doesnt it!? Leave it alone. Don't do anything to it. If you see holes or something, put hydrogen peroxide to kill the bacteria. other than that, you are perfectly fine...i've done it! but it didn't have holes so it could be infected...just wait a few days and it'll go


okay.. im going out with this guy.
he lived in ohio and i live in colorado.
i have never met him
we met on myspace
im 13 and hes 14..
how long do you think we will last?
honestly? (link)
MySpace is a piece of CRAP! It's stupid and you can get hurt. It's not worth it. An ohio guy you've met on myspace...right...
He could be a 40 year old molester and could be lying to you! I think you should be a mature teenager and grow up! Myspace are for those desperate wannabe's and wanna have a guy... you whoo, you can find your own guy at school. your too yougn too. it aint gonna last and don't even try. If i was in your position, I'll leave him alone, and go find guys in colorado where I belong...
GROW UP...come on. at least in colorado where you are, you know and you've seen the person.


Back when I was a senior in highschool I was really unpopular and I had a crush on one of the most popular guys. He knew I liked him but because of his popularity he never asked me out (but I suspect he DID like me). This is because I caught him checking me out at the prom when I was all dressed up and he used to sneak looks at me in our english class. At the time he was dating a very popular girl in the class. Well I just had my ten year highschool reunion and hadnt seen him since higschool. He is married now. Although he never talked to me I kept catching him staring at me. Do you think he may still like me? (link)
He might. You should've gone over to him and just asked if he remembered you. He probably might have a secret crush on you that no one knows because he's a popular guy...very socail I guess. Anyways, talk to him. Even though he is married and possibly have children, but you'll feel so much better when you do. If you don't, the next day, you'll hate yourself because you didn't talk to him and he had an opportunity!
Your adults now...face it

So there is this boy and he came to see my friend that was in a play with me. He was later telling her that he needed a girl friend and asked if i was available. After we hung out a few times I got really interested in him. That was in may now its august and nothing has happend yet. I know he is a shy guy but how can i make him feel more comfortable around me?.

thanks in advance!

ps- I don't like asking guys out. It's weird to me although when him and his best friend (and my really good friend) were talking he said girls should just say this to ask people out... I my name is (your name) I am unemployed, and I live with my parents... wanna go out? lol but that is kinda weird to me (link)
if hes shy, you should have a friend tell him that you like him, becuase than he will feel more comfortable in asking you out. if he likes you right now, the reason that he is NOT asking you out is because he is afraid of rejection


ok i burnt my finger with my hair straightener on thursday nite and today its all blistered and bubbly. anything i can do ? (link)
yea that happens to me like daily pretty much. dont ice it, cuz that only makes the pain last longer. you can put scar cream on it, but other than that, just leave it alone and let it heal.

well anyways, it`ll go away in a few days, from a blister to a scar looking thing (which is why you keep putting scar cream on it)


Where can I buy some cute, long-lasting jeans that aren't too terribly expensive and aren't torn to shreds before I buy them? Thanks! (link)
american eagle has really nice comfortable, durable jeans. they normally cost about 30-50 dolllras (an avg of $40) and some days they have like a get $5 dollars off for back to school.


I play Dance Dance Revolution and I was wondering about how many calories I should try to burn daily? I am 14 and a Male, 5 feet, 4 inches, and I weigh 145 pounds. So far I have managed to burn 500 calories well playing on workout mode (I own MAX version) I was also wondering how accurate the calorie counter is? (link)
it depends on what level you play it on, and how quickly you move. an avg calorie burning is about 150 calories an hour for me


Sorry if this is the wrong category.

My eyelashes are extremely flat even after i use a eyelash curler. I have to use it like 6 times before i put the mascara on. And within 2 minutes they are flat again. I tried apllying mascara then curling them but then wont stay curled. Is there a certain surler or something i can use that will keep them curled longer?

thank you (link)
a really good way to curl your eyelashes:
1) buy an `eyelash sculpting` mascara, like the ones from maybelline and revlon that are anti-clump. put one coat on
2) your eyelash curler should have replacable strips, and the reason it may not be efficient is because its been worn out. buy a brand new one that will work better. mine is revlon, and its works great.
3) then after that, its just a normal eyelash curling process (place the curler clamps as close to the bottom of you eyelid as possible..)


okay i'm 13 and i havn't had my period yet. i live with my dad so its really hard to bring up that subject, and i cant shave my legs because,again it hard to bring up the subject. i have air under my arms, and i'm guessing i should be shaving...but how do i bring up tht subject. what should i do? i cant go to anyone else either.
thanks in advance
(link)
yea it was really awkward when i asked my mom to shave my legs. i really couldnt figure out how, so an easy way is to be watching tv together, and when a venus razor/nair commercial/etc comes on, you can just casually bring it up. if you make it seem like your uncomfortable, then he`ll feel uncomfortable as well :(

as for you under arms, those have to be shaven basically, and theres really no reason why they should be hairy, cuz its such a small space. some people dont want their children to shave their legs cuz after words, once you start, you basically wont ever stop, but you armpits you have to shave..

good luck ;]


sorry if this is long but i reallt need advice.
ok i live with my dad, and i need to get bras. i need/ want a cupped bra to make my breasts look a lil' bit bigger....but
1. i dont know what size i am, and i dont know how to figure it out.
2. and i dont know which one would be right for me. i would like to have 1 regular sports bra, 1 regular cupped bra, and and 1 sports bra that is sorta cupped. how many bras do you think i should need? how do i get those with my dad? how do i resond when he says "a copped bra?!?" (kuz he's probably gonna say that) as much advice as possible!!!!!! plz help me!!! thx (link)
just ask him for some money to go shopping, and you can just go by yourself. bras are normally about $5-10, so if you want to buy 5, you`ll need about 40 dollars. you dont have to mention a sports bra, cupped bra, just say you need bras. he doesnt need to know what kind you need, and you can probably just go shopping by yourself


does anyone know what that song is the commercial for old navy where this girl blows a bubble with gum and she floats away, and everyone grabs on to her? is it a song by old navy or by a particular artist? im asking because i really like that song. thx. (link)
Fash' On. i think that its a song by old navy, but i could be wrong..


How many of you guys can lift 140 pounds? With out much difficulty. I ask because I weigh 140 pounds and I am affraid I am too fat to have a dance partner. Especially scince I am only 5ft 4in!!!!!!!!! (link)
Well I know that my ex boyfriend could bench 225 (he was 6'4 and weighed 185) but that's completely different than lifting a girl into the air while dancing and such.


I'm totally not saying you're fat but you might need to shed some pounds to be lifted and swung around like that. I just quit dance but when I had a male partner, I was asked to lose 5-7 pounds (I'm 120 and 5'4). Those girls that do that are tiny.


But, I assume you have a dance instructor and such? I would ask him about it and how many pounds you need to lose, if any that is.


You could also just do dances that don't involve you being picked up.


I saw this kid today and he seems really nice and we just know of eachother. Anyways, I saw him today and I said waved and he just turned and smiled and kept on going. (It wasn't like a friendly smile). It was a late response by both of us since I couldn't exactly tell if it was him or not at first. Should I still be nice and friendly, or should I just not really care anymore? (link)
Well, I do that sometimes, whenever people wave to me in the hallways I just give them a smile and that's it. Sometimes people are in a hurry to stop and chat. Or, too lazy to wave back. You say it wasn't a friendly smile but that could have been either just because he didn't recognize you (you said it was a late response because you couldn't even tell if it was him) or he gave you a friendly smile but you mistook it as not.


Either way, don't look into it that much. It's not that big of a deal. Next time you see him (and you know he sees you) give him a smile and see what he does.


how old were you when you lost your virginity?? and were you married?? (link)
Well, I'm 16 and saving myself for marriage.


My boyfriend of one week and I went to the movies last night. I'm 13, (So is he) and that was my very first date. We even held hands, which was great cause all my old boyfriends never did anything.

But what do I expect for next time?
Should I hold his hand again, since we already did? I just want to make sure he knows that I want him to do stuff like that, thanks :) (link)
Yeah, show him the same affection you showed before. Don't go back a step or he might think you're losing interest. After the date, you might want to go for a goodnight kiss. Just a cute little *peck* on the lips is good.


Keep talking to him, let him know that you're interested in what he's talking about, laugh at his jokes, make eye contact when you're talking, etc.


hey theres this boy and he is 2 grades higher than me and hes really sweet and smart,cute,and funny. Should I ask him out? Please help from thinker101. (link)
i think its nice when girls ask guys out. just be sure that he likes you back, and you should most deff go out with him


Are there any foods that are impossible to get food poisonign from, and foods that are really hard to get it from? If you could list them in two different categories that would be great. :]
Thanks! (link)
there are no foods that are impossible to get food poisoning from, except for water, but that has to be purified.

foods that are easy to get food poisoning from are basically foods that have short expiration dates, like best used before a weeks over. also foods that are refrigerated are likely to give you food poisoning.

foods that are really hard to get food poisoning from are ones with late expiration dates, like one that might say 2007 (as of now)


I would like to know what the difference is between using a tampon and using a pad for girls when they have their periods. (link)
tampons: good for swimming, sleeping, and extended use (but not over 8 hours, may cause tss, toxic shock syndrome, if you leave them in too long. you have to be responsible about remembering. they are better because less leaks happen. these are normally worn with an unltra thin pad and changed every 4-8 hours

pads: good for walking around the house, may have to be changed eveyr few hours. not too good for over night sleep, becuase you may leak. since you can feel the uh, wetness, its kind of gross because you feel self conscous and you are worried that you may get a leak

i like tampons best
