when i finish blow drying my hair straight, i do my make up. After I do my powder for some reason my hair gets really staticky. Is there a way to keep it from getting that way?

Try a leave in conditioner. Pantene Light Spray Conditioner works really well.. and leaves your hair smelling really good too. :-) Spray in just a little bit after your hair is dry so your hair doesn't get too greasy feeling. Hope I helped!

ok well i have this guy friend who ive kinda been liking for awhile.I tell him everything and he tells me just about everything. Well my ex bf raped me couple weeks ago and now my friend is all like mad at him and cussed him out the other day acting like all over-protective like he likes me or something. He also gets kind of mad when i talk about a guy i like i do that because i cant tell him i like him ya know? so i guess what i really want to know is do you think my friend likes me?its kinda confusing me because he likes to joke around alot n ask me out and stuff but hes only joking and he gives me like really wierd nicknames but its always " my something" for example says ur my babygurl n stuff. so do you think he does? sry if its long ill rate high

Yea it sounds like he likes you. If he is trying to protect you, that means he really cares about you. And he gets jealous when he thinks you like someone else. And by joking around with you, like by asking you out and stuff, he is probably doing that because he really wants to ask you out for real but is too afraid of rejection. So yea, I think he likes you. Maybe you could ask him out b/c it seems like he's shy, or you could atleast give him signals that you like him so that he won't be so nervous about asking you out.

Okay... Me and my boyfriend have been going out for 2 months... it will be 3 months on the 6th of january..! Well see my friend and her boyfriend have been going out for not even 1 month and they have already kissed (tongue) and held hands and more! Me and my boyfriend have kissed but it seems that we are never alone because of this girl that likes him... she is always there, she won't just leave me and him alone for just a little bit! What should i do? it is bothering me so much that my friends are afraid of me breaking up with my boyfriend over this girl always being there!

Ask your bf to hang out outside of school, like at the movies or something, so that the girl won't be able to find out where you are and follow you around

(Sorry lame queation everyone hates answering BUT...)Well I just started going out with this guy, "Greg" and I really like him and he really likes me. But the problem is, neither of us are very touchy-feely people, and so my friends are constantly yelling at me for not holding his hand, giving him a kiss, etc. Well I think that I should, so what should i do to just be a little bit more physical, I guess...

You shouldn't have to feel pressured from your friends do act touchy-feely if you don't feel comfortable with it. Every relationship is different. But if you really want to change the way you are, if you really want to be touchy-feely with Greg, then just make sure you go slow so you don't freak him out. Hold his hand in the hall once in a while. Then after you've become comfortable with that, give him a kiss once in a while, and just keep moving from there.

Theres this guy at school.This will be an average story but anyways,He waits for me by my locker and he will hold my hand and flirt with me.He just makes me feel really special.We're not going out but sometimes i feel like we are.We've known eachother since we were 5.We are now teenagers.Can someone tell me if he might like me??im a female.
Signed,
Crushed

Since you've known each other since u were 5, it might be kind of hard to tell whether he is just your really good friend or whether he really likes you and wants to be more than friends. But to me it sounds like he likes you. :-)

Ok i know this guy online and he thinks im rich .I met him because he made this site called y terror and i went to it and ever since then we became good friends.Well to get to the point he is selling ALL his sites that he worked so hard @ to get money for a car and i dont even think he is using it for a car so i LIED i know i feel really bad now .. and i said i would give him the 800 dollors so he wouldnt have to sale his site now he thinks since i promised him i would send him money from western union that he will get it but the truth is when he goes the money wont be there because i dont have it either and when i lied and said ill give it to him he said

Thank you so much your really nice my mom kicked me out ( he is only 17 ) and i live in my buddy's attic and eat mac and cheese every night and then he said now i wont have to eat mac and cheese every night


i really want to be his friend but i cant tell him im not giving him the money so what do i do ??

p.s. he told my sister he wanted to go out with me

Wow. No offense but this guy sounds REALLY creepy. It sounds like every word coming out of his mouth is a lie. It's probably all just a scam, he is trying to get ur money, and at the same time he is trying to get laid. So if I were you, I would try to lose contact with him. Don't give him ANY of your personal info (last name, phone #, address etc) and block him (if ur using AIM) and don't reply to any of his emails or anything.

well i like this boy right and he's spanish and i have no problem with that b/c he''s really sweet and cute. but all my friends do b/c im like white and we're totally diff and some of my friends are sort of racist. i don't know what to do b/c i rlly like this boy...what should i do

Let your friends get to know this boy so they can see PAST his race and see that he's a really cool guy. Then maybe they will be more accepting.

ok well im 13/m and i have feelings for my friend. The problem is that she has been going out with her boyfriend for a long time (year and like a month) andso i've been trying to be there for her and be her friend but now her and her bf are going through some rough times and she doesn't think he likes her anymore. I want to make a move but think that might be taking advantage of her and her situation. Should i go for it? Is it taking advantage of her current situatuion?

Yes, it IS taking advantage of her current situation. I would wait. But right now, the best thing you can do is show her that you're there for her and that you care. Let her know that if she ever needs you, you'll be there for her to fall back on.

Hey everybody! I am kinda deppressed. I cant figure out what i'm good at. I used to skateboard and that was my life. It is what made me happy. But i got really bad at it and only get mad when i do it now. So i cant do that anymore. I like to make rap lyrics but also suck at that. Those were the only two things that made me truely happy, and i cant do either one of them. So i realized that there is nothing i am good at. And if thats the case, what is my point in living? And how can i figure out what i'm good at? Ive tried so many things like different sports, activities, just all sorts of things and i cant seem to be good at anything. Please help. Thank you all.

I was like that for a while too. I did gymnastics for a few years and I loved it but never got anywhere with it. I also tried tennis and track, but I gave up on both of them. But then I started a new sport (taekwondo) about 6 months ago and I found out that I'm actually pretty good at it and I really love it. It's great because you're always trying to reach a new goal. But a few years ago, I NEVER would have thought I would be doing taekwondo! It never even crossed my mind. So my point is, sooner or later you will find your passion, even if it's something unexpected. So don't give up and keep searching for that passion! ;-)

My daughter does not want to know me and is trying to exclude me from the rest of the family i am heartbroken she cant see that i love her and my other children she is married and has children of her own please find me some answers as to why this is happening

Are you very close to her? She has a family of her own now and might feel that you are being too clingy to her. Just give her some space. But be sure to keep in contact with her and don't let your relationship disappear.

Theres this one girl in my dorm...she CANT spell. A freshmen in college and she cant spell little words, she simply doesnt know how. The word good, she spells gud. She cant even spell little words and this concerns me. She isnt doing well in her classes at all because of this reason. Me and my roommate edit her papers and we try to tell her that she really needs to learn how to spell properly, but she doesnt care. She cant rely on me and my roommate to save her but on every paper. Should I tell her to go to a tutor (which she probally wont go), or let her fend for herself? I tried to help her learn, but I get mad at her everytime I try.

If she's not willing to learn, then there's nothing you can do. You can't be responsible for her problems.

I have an oral presentation to give on monday (it's powerpoint) and i'm terrified... like this is one of my biggest fears ever. Whenever i go to give a speech or something my voice starts really quivering and shaking and it sounds like i'm crying. Is there any way to stop this from happening? also... any other advice on giving speeches would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

I'm like that too. What I've found to work for me is when you talk, try to talk LOUD, and project your voice across the room. For some reason, talking loudly helps me to feel more confident. And talk clearly, and try not to rush. Take a deep breath before you give ur speech. And when your talking, dont look anyone directly in the eyes. And just remember, everyone else in the audience is probably barely paying attention to you. lol. And they're probably thinking about what they are doing that weekend or something and won't notice any mistakes you make. (i know thats kinda mean but if u think about it, it really helps). Sry this was long-- anyway my main point is to talk LOUD. Hope this helps

i use nyc eyeliner and everytime i use it it comes off easily so i have to bring my eyeliner to school and put it on there. my friends thinks its annoying cause i need to go to the bathroom or use their mirror in their lockers to put it on. whenever my friends put the eyeliner i use on, it stays on for them but it doesnt for me. i tried many kinds of eyeliner but i still cant find one that will stay on, someone please help!

p.s i dont want to use liquid eyeliner or very expenisive eyeliners

Sometimes it depends where you put it. If you put it too close to your eyeball (on the bottom), then the water in your eye may wash it off. So try putting it lower, like below your lashes, or JUST above your lashes.

If I walked on the tredmill for an hour every morning, didn't eat as much and ate healthy, and did crunches and excercises, do you think I would get skinnier within a month? Thanks.

Sure.. and by saying you will "get skinnier" you may lose 1 pound, or u may lose 10... it all just depends on how much you exercise and what you eat and how fast your metabolism is. Just don't starve yourself!!

Okay, I have been sick for almost a week now, I have really bad diarrhea and I can't keep any food down! Everytime I eat it comes up, I even took three bites of a yogurt and it came up. My mom refuses to take me to the doctor and I am starting to feel weak. i usually get dehydrated really easily and now when i drink it doesnt stay down either. My mom keeps an attitude towards me when i tell her what is going on and she says she cant afford to take me to the doctor, WHAT DO I DO?

Try CALLING the doctor.. that way they won't charge you for making an appointment.. but they can still give you adive on what to do.

Last night I did my washing but I was really tired so I just dumped it all in without looking to see what went in. Then when I checked this morning, I had found that I had slipped a fur coat into the mix.

Things happen and bada bing bada boom,

The coat feel apart,

Well I'm not that upset about the coat falling apart (a bit but not much) but now all my other clothes that went in that wash have fur all over them. I have tried shaking them off but they are still covered- what would be the best way to get all the fur off easily?

Use one of those dog hair removers (they are like a roll of this sticky paper, you can get them at Linens n Things or Bed Bath n Beyond, places like that, probably even target) and if u don't have one of those, try just using tape, like duct tape. Or you could try putting ur clothes back in the wash --without the fur coat.

hey..a few days ago i got an ipod and it came wit itunes. So i loaded it on, at first it didn't work so i resept the ipod and then everything worked fine and i loaded 4 or 5 CD's..the other day i tried to load another one and it said "do not disconnect" onthe ipod, and the ipod file came up but the songs didnt download on. I left it connected for atleast 2 hours and still no songs. I tried to load a different cd a few days later and the same problem happened. Does anyone know how i can fix this and be able to load my cds again. If it helps, i see the cd titles in "my library". Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this is your problem, but before you load any songs onto your iPod, you have to convert them to MP3's. You can do this by selecting all of the songs, and then right click on one of the songs, and go to Convert Selected Song to MP3. Then you will have 2 of each song in ur library.. one of AAC format, and one of MP3 format. (right click on a song and click Get Info to see if it's MP3 or AAC) Then select all the songs that are MP3 format, and go to File, Transfer to iPod (or w/e it says). Sorry if this didn't help, i just thought that it might be the problem. I know another way that you can transfer your songs to ur iPod, so if this doesn't work, or if you have any more questions, let me know.

Dear Advicenators,
One and a half years ago my brother *Henry* was diagnosed with hemophilia, which means that his blood does not clot normally. If he gets a cut, it's really hard to stop the bleeding. If he loses too much blood, he could die if the blood is not replenished.

Henry and I always liked to spend time together (he's two years older than me). We'd ride bikes to the park and shoot basketball hoops. He couldn't be too active, but he was my best friend and I felt safe around him.

Anyway, he lost a lot of blood one day, and was taken to the doctor for another blood injection. The horrible part was, that the person who had donated that blood was carrying the AIDS virus. The doctor proclaimed that Henry now had AIDS.

Henry is 15 years old, is in diapers, and must be fed through an IV or a tube. He has about 4 months left to live. My entire family is sad, and angry about it. My parents must monitor him all the time, so I always have to get a ride to my volleyball games. All three of us never have extra time, because we are always there for Henry and when he must be hospitalized. I had to drop out of volleyball for him.

Henry has been the butt of the jokes from the kids at school lately. They make fun of the fact that he has been in diapers. They are unaware of the fact that his brain is slowly being devoured, and he can't feed himself. The AIDS is tearing the whole family apart. But luckily, my friends are there to console me, but I always feel resentment towards the cruel kids at school. Can I please have some suggestions on what to do about that?

Anyway, as I am spending my last Christmas with my brother, I have no idea what present to give to him. Could I please have some ideas? I want it to be special and something he'll remember when he goes to Heaven.

Also, how can I comfort / cheer up my parents? They have been having lots of mood swings lately and have been very stressed.

Any input and prayer would be great. Sorry about the length.

Wow thats really sad. I'm soo sorry about Henry. About the kids at school, just ignore them. They probably are very insecure with themselves and have no life so they have fun by making fun of other people. If you just ignore them, they will get bored and stop. For Christmas, you should give your brother something really special. Maybe a photo album of all the fun times you spent together. And of all of Henry's achievments, so he can see what a great life he has lived, and have little regret of dying so young. And keep praying and hoping.. sometimes the doctors are wrong. Henry may live longer than 4 months. And just remember, this will make you a stronger person. Everything happens for a reason, even if right now, you don't know what that reason is.

my room is really lame and i hate having friends in it because its not cool. i have basic furniture, tv, computer, but its so boring to be in. any ideas? help!!!

Get People and Seventeen magazines and cut out cool pics, like of hott guys or bands or something, and tape them on your door(s) or walls. You could also go to like Z Gallerie or Pottery Barn and get some colorful stuff to decorate your room, like candles and lamps. And you could tape pics of you and your friends around your room.

Im already having problems with my life right now but this just makes it worst!
Everyone has a girl in their school who is pretty, smart, friendly, flirty, somewhat popular.
My problem that I need advice on is how do I become that girl?

So if anyone can help me out Id love that so please help me out Im stuck with this girl till Im outta school so I really need this advice
Please and Thank you

A lot of times, the people who seem really perfect to you, aren't. Sometimes if you really get to know them, you will find that they have really a really bad home life, or they are very insecure, or they have some other problem. Sometimes they are actually very insecure, but at school they may put on an act to cover up their insecurities, and therefore they APPEAR to be very secure with themselves. My best friend for example, is pretty, blonde, tall, and very outgoing. All the guys want her, and all the girls wanna be like her. But since i know her so well (ive known her since kindergarden), i know she has a lot of insecurities. She gets depressed a lot b/c ppl think she is a slut. And my other friend for example is like the most popular girl in school, she appears to have it all. But then i found out that her family is kind of poor, and she absolutely hates her mom. So when you think someone is perfect, look at them closely-- they're not. So stop trying to be perfect because all that will happen is you won't become perfect and then your self esteem will just be even lower. And hey- for all you know, some people may be looking at you and saying 'wow shes perfect, i want to be just like her.' So just be yourself, and people will like you for who you are.
