I'm 13 and I'm skinny and I have chubby cheeks. Is it possible that I could still have baby fat on my cheeks even though I'm 13? When does baby fat go away? (link)
You probably just have a babyface, which isn't a bad thing at all. So, nope, sorry, it really won't go away. But like I said, it isn't a bad thing. Look at stars like Jesse Mccartney and Amanda Bynes; they're both babyfaced. Jesse is loved by all kinds of girls and Amanda is beautiful.


is it worth going to a dermatologist for acne? i have little acne - but a lot of blackheads.should i get a facial for the black heads? i just dont know what to do with my face any more!!! what are some REALLY REALLY good brands to fight away acne and blackheads? any help is appreciated- thanks! (link)
If you've tried all the creams and washes then yes. For acne, you can get pills prescribed to you and those work better than creams most of the time. I've never been given anything for blackheads from my doctor though.


The best thing to do for black heads, though, is wash your face in the shower or right when you get out. The vapors from the hot water open up your pores. You get more dirt out then. Pore strips also work. You put it around your nose and pull it off.


And you know what, you don't even have to go to an actual dermatologist; your regular doctor can prescribe you something.


sometimes, when my period is really heavy blood comes out and it kind of looks like red jelly. is this normal? or should i be concerned? what is it? (link)
That's a blood clot. It's normal. Don't worry about it.


Okay like over a year ago i taped all these pictures on my wall like 200 or so.. && i took them off && the wall looks awful..Painting isn`t an option && i don`t know what to do && to put those pictures back up would take a LONG time. I don`t really have money for posters.. So if you have any ideas please help.. Its horrible && i hate it..I doubt theres much to do but i just thought i`d give it a shot;;
ALso i have tons && tons of construction paper maybe i can put that up && then like draw or write on it..I can do grafitti good so maybe that would be okay.. (link)
Cut out little hearts or flower or dots from your construction paper. Then tape the over the spots that look bad. Trust me, I had to do that for a year before I could paint my room, and my friends thought it looked really cool!


I need a new dresser so my mom showed me a really cool site with lots of inexpensive furniture. She said that if I want a new dresser, I'd have to sell some of my old stuff on the same site. Here's the dilemma: I found a couch and a chair on this site that are $150 for both! They're made out of denim, and that's the theme for my room. I have about $120 so my mom would only have to lend me $30 and pick it up for me (it's only 20-30 minutes away). She said no and that I need to focus on the dresser. What should I do? Someone else will buy them soon. (link)
Have a garage sell. Or tell her you can make do with you current dresser.. Or she could simply buy some paint, or you could find a dresser in someones trash, seriously. People get rid of things they think they don't need.


I'm really bored. I wonder why other people aren't as bored as me. Please tell me everything you did for one day to week.
Thank you. (link)
Well.. I cook alot.. Not like professional cooking, kinda play cook. I get some brownies you buy in the breakfast section at the store, and put cool whip and strawberries and stuff! And I re-do my room.. like move my bed around, clean it.. draw picures.. design pictures with borders and stuff on the computer then print the out to hang them on my wall...get friends to come over.. start a project and make yourself finish it. like find an old coffee can & decorate it.. hmm theres lots of stuff!


hey im gonna start 8th grade in august, and i still havent gotten my period. is this normal?? (link)
It's fine! My mawmaw didn't start her's until she was 16. And I started right before I began 8th grade. (and before I had to go to the lake, too lol.. not so fun) Hope i helped!


My dog just got put down. I miss her so much, how do I learn to forget about her? (link)
My condolences on your loss.

Helping you to get through your loss may be making a scrapbook on your dog's life and then show it to family and friends. You could also take pictures you took of your dog throughout the years and make a little exhibit and leave other memories about your dog in there too. Show your exhibit and scrapbook to people! This will help you work through your loss, remember your dog and keep you actively involved with your feelings.

And maybe, when the time is right, bring another dog into your life. The dog will be lucky to have you as an owner!

Good Luck and Keep it up!

I've been casually learning Japanese from an online friend and have recently started to learn the language more in depth over the enternet. So I was wondering does anyone know a good site for learning Japanese particle? X_X they are so hard to understand sometimes all I know really is 'wa' and 'no' and 'ka' (is desu considered a particle? x3) So I'm able to ask simple questions and make simple statements but I wanted to know also if anyone had any advice. My online friend is 13 and Japanese but often finds it hard to explain to me things ^_^;; any advice or helful sites maybe?

I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place I wasnt sure sorry if it isnt!

(link)
Congratulations on beginning to learn Japanese!

To master the written and oral parts of this language, look into the RosettaStone series. This series is an excellent language tool!

However, this series is expensive. Your local library or a library near you may have this series at their library and you could check it out, or buy it at a discounted price on EBAY. Here is the actual site, where you can learn about the series: http://www.rosettastone.com/en/

Also, if you go to www.transparent.com, you can find many different and valuable programs Transparent language has to offer, along with the free conversational phrase page they offer there!

Good Luck and Keep on Learning!

This isn't like a real question,its more like just seeing who agrees. I want to give out advice but it's hard giving out advice when I have my own problems. Like I can't go on any type of love, friend, family, or school topics because I'm going through the same things. Have you ever felt wanted but can't give any help because of your own problems, and then you feel even worse? Well thats how I feel... The one place where my opinion matters, I can't help.
~~~~~~~hailey~~~~~~ (link)
yeah i think i understand what your saying.....i just try and answer the questions best i can so i can help them from making a mistake like i have....i mean we all have problems but at least we can try and help ppl from making some of the mistakes we have made in our life...like basically if i have went through the same thing in my life i try and tell them what i should have done to make things better


i'm 5'8 and 112 pounds maybe? how fast can i lose around 10-15 pounds and how? what are some things i can do? (link)
you do not need to lose weight! maybe try toning your body up with some sit ups instead of losing weight. your tall so that is probably a good weight to be at.


im so upset all my boyfriends friends think they can do what ever they want to me my boyfriend always hits me and i cant tell my parents or the cops my boyfriend said he will hit me till i cant walk anymore please someone give me advice (link)
no no no...he is just telling you this so you wont tell and get himself into some trouble....so here is what you need to do...tell your parents....they can help keep him away from you....then you need to tell the cops...they can put him away for doing this....then he wont be able to hurt you anymore


i'm 5'8 and 112 pounds maybe? how fast can i lose around 10-15 pounds and how? what are some things i can do? (link)
You're 5'8. If you loose 10 lbs you're going to be 102 which is so not proportional to your height. Don't loose anymore weight or you'll find yourself looking like Nicole Richie and that is not a complement.


http://www.am-i-fat.com Go there and click *Am I fat* over to the side. Put in your height and weight, see what it has to say.


My sisters bridal shower is tomorrow, and I'm excited, except I have to write on the card, and I have absolutely NO idea what to write. I can't write anything too serious, because that's not what our relationship is, haha. Like we joke around a lot.
What should I write?
=[ Pleaseee! thanks in advance. (link)
Write something like...

Hey sis! I can't believe you're actually getting married already. I still remember you talking about how all guys suck! haha I'm glad that you found one that doesn't so make sure you treat him right so he'll keep you! Congratulations, I love you.


If she didn't complain about guys like that then change it.


My sister and I convinced my dad to get my mom a Birkin bag for their anniversary. She's in love with them and has always wanted one.


Their anniversary is in December and we've heard nightmares about a 2 year waiting list *ah*. I know a few people, though, that did not have to wait that long to get theirs, but have no way to contact them now. My dad is going to sign up for one at a Hermes boutique when he goes to New York in a few weeks (we live in Houston, TX) but we really don't want to wait the 2 years.


Does anyone have any advice one how we can get one sooner and KNOW it's authentic? We're looking for one no more than 15,000. Thank you
(link)
First of all, your mom is sooo lucky haha.


They only way you can get out of the waiting list is to call up places that sells Birkin bags and see if they've had any cancellations. Usually, after waiting the 2 years, some people will decide that they don't want the bag after all so the store keeps it.


Since you live in Houston, I'd go to the Galleria and check Saks Fifth Avenue. I'm not positive that they have Birkins but they'd know where you can get one without having to go all the way to New York.


I'm having a beach themed bday party for a friend whos turning 26. I want to make a rum cake and maybe grill some lime chicken w/ rice, and have a fruit tray with pineapples and mangoes and coconuts but I need some more ideas. I don't have a good recipe for a rum cake(neither does my granny). If anybody has any ideas for beach themed food-I need some, the party is in 2 weeks!
Oh, also, if I chose to do the rice pilaf thing, how do I buy it and prepare it for about 10-15 people??? I'm no cook and I'm clueless. (link)
A great drink you could use for this party is called a Hurricane. This is a recipe for one person:

120 ml orange juice
120 ml sour mix
20 ml passionfruit syrup
a dash of grenadine

Build over plenty of ice in a highball glass.
Decorate with a lime or orange slice.

Stir before drinking it.

THANKS TO:

http://www.drinkalizer.com/drinks/virgin-hurricane.php

This is a Virgin form of the drink, the alcoholic virgin has rum in it. If you want to make a rum cake, you could use some rum but I don't know if you want too much of it, so I gave you the Virgin form. www.drinkalizer.com also has the alcoholic version of this drink.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

How do i make my cat stop pooping so much? (link)
Hello,

The best solution to this answer is to get to your vet and ask about this specific problem. Bring a fresh sample of your cats feces if your vet can test your cat for some time of intestinal problem. Does your cat eat alot? Maybe there is some type of behavioral problem that you could train the cat through. The best advice is to get to the vet!

Good Luck and keep on being a great pet owner!

i want to be ready for school this year. i'm going to 8th grade, and i want it to be the best year, since it is the last year of middle school.
so what are science && social studies fair topics i can use for school? i want to get it ready so that i won't have to worry about it when it's brought up. i also need writing topics so that i can start on a short story i'm going to enter in a writing contest later in this year.

thank you in advance. (link)
I believe a very interesting topic for your social studies project is the JFK assassination. There are many different conspiracies you can talk and thousands of websites, books and other information to help you. Many people are interested in the subject and you probably get notice from your teacher! (One thing to talk about is the Magic Bullett vs. Warren Commission Report)

If you read on in my column, you will see my advice on a science fair project I gave!

And for your writing, write what you know about and what interests you! This will definitley captivate your readers!

Good Luck and Have Fun!



i need help on thinking of a science fair project.
school starts in about 2 weeks for our school,
and science fair projects doesn't start for several months after that,
but i just want to make sure i'm ready for it,
and not procrastinate like i used to.
so i need science fair ideas.
and if you can find a site to back up your idea,
that will be awesome!
thank you! (link)
A great science fair project is making a Rube Goldberg machine.

A Rube Goldberg machine is a machine that has many different steps using ordinary items to get something simple done.

For my Rube Goldberg machine, I cracked a nut. A let a ball go, pop a balloon, let another ball roll down a series of crazy levers, and after a few more steps hit a hammer to fall onto a nut to crack it!

This project teaches you a lot about physics, is very entertaining for crowds and is sure to impress your teacher!

Hopefully this site gives you some ideas!

Good Luck!


my dog is 12 and a golden retriever. she all of a sudden started shaking really hard out of nowhere and i don't know why but it really scared me. does anyone know what this could mean? (link)
Your dog may have had a seizure. Getting a vet checkup is a great idea for the health and longevity for your dog.

What might also be happening is sometimes dogs get very shaken up by noise. This may happen at any time in the dog's life. You may want to spend some quiet time with your dog and periodically give her some time alone throughout the day.

Hope this helped!
