Ok. how do you make out? cause i have no idea how to or what it is! can someone tell me what it is and how you do it? I REALLY NEED HELP! and if the person your doing it with knows how will you look like an idiot or can they not even tell? (link)
hey there! to tell you the truth, there isn't a real way to making out. everyone is different. its just like kissing, only repeatedly. and you deffinetly won't look like an idiot, because there are a lot of people out there with first times, plus, the person may end up thinking you're really good and they suck.


i have this cousin who is 15 and im 13 and he is so hot and he has been checking me out and i was wondering (we are blood related) what would happen if we made out or worse. (link)
That's called INCEST and it's looked down upon by society and its ILLEGAL


how do u make the little hearts thing where you can actually see the heart???

thanks in advance (link)
you make the heart like this:

& hearts ;

*cept dont leave the spaces....make it where it has no spaces by combining it together

*you can also go to whateverlife.com under myspace basics and it gives you codes for that and other things too!



i'm 15/f, and opinions are very much apprectiated on this even though it's long. here's the sitch:

i'm going into the 10th grade in a month. my mom lives in one town, and my dad in another, about 10 minutes apart.

so i live with my mom now, but i'm thinking of maybe moving to my dad's house, but i need your help in making the decision. all of my friends are near my mom's house, that go to the high school in her town, but if i were to move with my dad, he would take me to see them and let me have them over and everything that i would normally do with them--but i don't know anyone that would go to the high school in my dad's town. my mom is supposed to give me allowance for the chores i do, but she never does, and i can't get a job yet, so i have no money. if i were to move with my dad, i have 4 cousins that live near him that i could babysit and make some money and then later get a job, and he also said that he would give me allowance. i sometimes get along with my mom, but she puts her boyfriend before me and is always asking me to do stuff for her and she's always on my case. i get along with my dad most of the time, and his girlfriend is like a mom to me. my room at my mom's house is small and cramped, i have no closet doors, a broken fan, no bed frame and my mom says she can't make renovations bc she doesnt have the money, but she spends her money(including the child support money from my dad) on my little sister(has a diff. dad), tanning, and diet everything. i'm so frustrated, and i'm so nervous about making this decision and i've no clue what to do. so a huge thank you goes out to anyone who answers this.

I would defiantly move in with my dad if I were in your shoes. You'd probably have a better time over at his house and you'd have money. Your friends shouldn't be a problem since your dad said that you can have them over and you can go to their houses.


But, the school. Normally I would just tell you to go to the new school because you'd defiantly meet new people. You're 15 right now so; you're going to be a sophomore? So you'd still have to time meet people before senior year and such.


Since your parents only live 10 minutes away from each other though, would it be possible to stay at your current high school? You could still use your mom's address so the school won't find out that you moved out of its schooling zone. Many people where I live do that because here, we have a high school every like 5 miles. *gahh* If that isn't something you can do then use my advice in my last paragraph. :D Good luck!


I've been seeing a lot of myspace's that are private and their age is like 16 or 18 or something like that, how in the world are they making them private?
i thought private accounts were only for like 14-15 or something? (link)
Tom made is so everyone can make their Myspace private! *whOo*


Anyway, go to your account settings then go do to privacy settings. Click on *change settings* and go down to the box. Under the gray line that says *who can view my profile* click on the *friends only* circle and click *change settings*!



i have this cousin who is 15 and im 13 and he is so hot and he has been checking me out and i was wondering (we are blood related) what would happen if we made out or worse. (link)
Nothing would happen if you made out. But if you guys have kids they might turn out messed up a bit which I assue you're not planning to do. Not to mention doing things with your cousin is a tad on the gross side. I mean, thinking he's hott is one thing (I think a few of my cousins are hott) but to actually act upon it is another. Plus if your parents find out, they might not be too at ease with the idea.


On MySpace, I want to add pictures, but I can't, because all the picture files are too large. (The size limit is 600k.) MySpace offered a resizing program (Irfanview) to download for free. I did download it, but I'm having trouble learning how to use it, and how to resize my files. Can someone help me with this? (link)
i love irfanview

what you do is you open up th pic you want to use and go to Image at the top (you know where it says file etc.) and click resize/resample and where there are numbers put in how big you want it i usually do 500 in the first box and click ok but it w.e you want and if the pic is like tall (i dont know how to describe) it'd be better if you changed the height to 500 instead of the width :)

hope i helped and if your still confused drop on in my inbox :)

p.s. if you click effects in the Image section you add some cool effects to your pic

Hi Im Stuggling trying to make a dicision. i registered my sons surname after his fathers at birth, i have always been the real carer to our son also finantially. when i registered my son with my doctor i registered him after my surname and also with the creche he goes to. he is changing to motessori in a few weeks and is getting to the stage now where he is going to be more curiose about his secound name iv heard him once say his name with my surname after it. i feel i should have called him after me at birth registration but did not as i taught then that me and his father would get married. but im not sure that will be the case now.
but i do not want to confuse him what will i do my name even suits him better. this may all seem silly to some but it is really causing me a head ache. I just want the best for my son !!! thank you for reading i hope someone can help me to sort this out. (link)
Hello,

Since you are the financial caretaker and will be this child's #1 parent in life, it will only make life easier if he changes his name to your surname. He is little and probably will not question that much, you just need to explain to him that you want for him to have your surname.

Going and asking a child pyschiatrist on how to deal with the issue is a good idea, but this child needs your surname and it will be much easier for you and your child when this happens.

Why should your child have the surname of a man that is not the number 1 caretaker in his life forever. That doesn't make much sense and it may confuse your child also.
Good Luck!



i was wondering if anyone knew of any programs or how to make certain items in black and white photo's colored. (link)

hope i helped (if you need any other help using irfanview drop one in my inbox =D)


for anyone who has put music on a creative zen mp3 player...how do you do it? is there a website or something like you do with iTunes for iPod? (link)
I have the Zen. It should come with a CD thats like "plays for all" or something just install that and i think it should ask if you want napster etc.etc. or if you have limewire you could get the songs then click on Zen Micro Media Explorer on your desktop and click import music to device.

hope i helped


if someone sends you a picture from their cell phone, will the phone say if you saw it or not ? (link)
It actually depends on the phone. With my phone I can. There is an envelope next to every message I send and if the flap closed that means the person hasn't gotten it. If it's open then they have looked at. But usually, most people don't notice. That's for phones though. In your subject line you said to computers so I'm not completely sure about that, I've never tried it.


What is the difference between all the different kinds of bikini waxes? (link)
There are really only two different kinds of bikini waxes that I am aware of, anyways.


The first one is a regular bikini wax. This one is just removing the hair around your bikini line. With his one, you'll be able to sit indian style and not have to worry about pubic hair.


The other one is a Brazilian wax. With these, EVERYTHING is removed; from the first pubic hair above your vagina, to the last hair towards your anus. You'd be able to wear a rubber band and not have any hairs show with this one. Sometimes they leave a design on top like a heart or landing strip but only if you want it.


i was wondering if anyone knew of any programs or how to make certain items in black and white photo's colored. (link)
Go to MICROSOFT WORD OR WORKS,
Click INSERT -> Picture -> From File...
Right click the picture,
& click "Format Picture"
Then you'll see "image control"
and then "color:"
choose grayscale
(it will be on automatic)


What toothpaste works the best to get rid of pinples and zits? (link)
Any toothpaste will work.


My son has a goldfish that he won at a carnival last year. It lives in one of those 1 gallon tanks that has a filter. Suprisingly, this fish has almost doubled in size and is doing very well!

My question is, we are going on vacation for 7 days and I don't want him to starve...

I saw one of those automatic pyramid fish feeders at the store. Do those work? It says on the package that it feeds up to 20 fish in a larger tank...would it be overkill if I put that in his tank?

(link)
yea you can get a 7 day pyramid. they work pretty well. if its only a 1 gallon tank though, you could probably have a neighbor watch it. but i would just do the 7 days one. and it doesnt really overfeed it


Why has my parents got baby oil next to their bed...my friends keep saying all this stuff and its just floating around in my brain. I need straight answer its not like i can ask my parents (link)
your parents are probably having sex


I tried to dye it back to my natural hair color and the people who did it made it red and it was supposed to be brown. How long will it take for my all of my hair to grow back with my normal color? (link)
AHH omg that happened to me EXACTLY! hair grows about 1 inch a month (or about 10-12 inches a year) so depending on how long you want it, it could take a year to grow out.

if i were you, i would go to a really nice salon after about a MONTH, because htat gives your hair some time to get used to how it is red now.


i gave head on july 11th. and now i have 3 canker sores in my mouthhh...do i have herpes? or is that a sign...should i get it checked oout.... (link)
I usually wouldn't answer this but it's 2:00am and I'm bored.


What are the symptoms of oral herpes?


Oral herpes usually appears on the lips or inside the mouth as "cold sores" (small blisters). Oral herpes can be spread through contact such as kissing, or though oral sex. Direct contact for a short amount of time is enough to spread the virus. Cold sores are common in young children. Oral herpes in adults is usually just a "flare-up" of an infection from childhood. Cold sores are annoying but harmless in children and adults, but can be dangerous to a newborn.


Is there treatment for herpes?


Yes. Your health care provider can prescribe medications that quicken healing, make symptoms less painful, and lower the risk of getting outbreaks while you are taking the medications. These medications don't kill the virus and don't prevent you from getting outbreaks in the future. Once you catch the herpes virus, you always have it. Even when you don't have any symptoms, the virus is in the body and can "flare up" at any time. However, outbreaks usually become fewer and cause less severe symptoms as time goes on. Outbreaks often become less frequent after five or six years of getting herpes.


Does treatment cure herpes?


No. Herpes cannot be cured but it can be treated!


Yes, you probably should get it checked out. And next time use protection because like you read up there, there is no cure for herpes.


So my friend (we will call him Tom) Tom and i have been talking a lot on MSN and Texting. We are JUST friends (tom has been going out with a girl for 5 months)but for some reason i feel giulty that we are so close. We always go on webcam and do silly stuff together like pretend we are rappers or act like gangsters and stuff. Everybody thinks we like each other even though neither of us have really ever thought about it...

so what i'm asking is do you think he likes me or should i feel giulty? i KNOW i am not leading him on, but ever since somebody kinda pointed it out to me, i geuss we are kinda flirtsy (not on purpose though) i am confused, but in the mean time....i will just continue to be awesome friends and keep on being silly.

your help is GREAT, so thank you for even just reading this mess, lol (link)
You're allowed to be good friends with a guy, you know. Don't be so hard on yourself! One of my best friends is a guy and we do stupid crap like that all the time.


From the way you described it, no I don't think he likes you; I think you guys are just good friends.


But you feel guilty about your relationship. That could possibly mean that you might have a little thing for him and you feel guilty because he has a girlfriend. Just a thought but you still might want to think about that possibility.


If you do find yourself in a situation where you have feelings for him, make sure he doesn't have a girlfriend if you decide to pursue anything. It's not fair to the girl and it might cause awkwardness in the relationship.


But other than that, just go with it. You sound like you have a great, fun friend and that's all that matters.
