Q: does any1 noe what is the best prodect to get rid of acene.thanks i will rite high.
I strongly suggest Pro-Active. Only because it costs alot of money, which therefore makes people use it more often. It's not too much of a pain, and you're guranteed to see a much clearer face in 2-6 weeks.

Q: It REALLY makes me angry that they took the writing thing out! Grrr! lol
I'm a writer. Damnit. So if you ever actually NEED any writing advice, ask me. Damn people. I'm dead serious. No one is smart anymore. All they ask about is guy problems and how sucky their life is. It's sad a website with such potential has reduced itself to this. Tell me if you want to do anything about it. :D

Q: is it better to shave or bleach the hair on your arms?
GET A BLEACHING KIT. Whatever you do DO NOT SHAVE YOUR ARMS. I repeat DO NOT SHAVE YOUR ARMS. By doing this you will get stuble on them, and that feels and looks REALLy weird. And besides. Hairless arms are weird.

Q: Why did you guys take out the "writing" topic on here?

-Zero
Because everyone is a loser on this site, and doesn't think enough to actually BE a writer. Email me. We should protest.

Q: me and my boyfriend have been together fro a while now. we had our first fight the other day... i was so mad at him and didn't want to talk to him, but he kept trying to talk 2 me trying to make things better again. well i was extremely mad at him, but all i wanted wat him to hold me and not let me go. anyways is there something wrong with me... i mean because i was so mad at him but didn't want to be away from him. is that odd? thanks in advance
No it's not. Relationships are like that. And in order to grow, and make them better, you have to slosh through the mud. As far as I see it, you didn't want him to be away from you because you wanted to know that he still cared about you, and he'd go after you. You wanted to make sure that even though you're throwing this huge tantrum (which was probably derserved) he would be there for you, he'd apologize. And you both would move on. You didn't want him to run away because you were mad. You wanted him to be with you (I know this is repetitive, but it's making sense in my head (and hopefully yours) so just go with it) When you're mad and sad and angry you want someone to hold you, stroke your hair and tell you "this to shall pass." It's an instinct. Don't worry. It's perfectly natural.

Q: Hey
In like two weeks im going to be a freshman in high school.. what can i do to stay organized.. ive never open a locker lock before and i was in the same school for 9 years before this.. can u help me and give me some tips on how to stay organized??
I'm going to attempt this, even though I'm the most disorgainzed person I've ever met. Since I was a freshman last year, I'm going to say what I did that you can avoid.

Things to Avoid:

* Avoid sticking papers in your books
* Avoid keeping a folder for everything (unless you are orgainzed enough to do that) If you aren't, just have one folder to keep all your homework and assignments in it.
* Avoid putting off big assignments (essays, projects...ect)until the last minute..even if you do work better under pressure.
* Avoid borrowing books from others.
* Figure out how much time it takes you to get to your locker...to whichever class you need to get to. This will help you in the future.
Good luck

Q:
is it just me, or are the dickies shorts and pants waste sizes all off? i mean there off for me, i wear a 14, and it dickies im like an 18. im just asking seeing if thats as wierd as i think it is. thanks!
They are about one size off for me. I wear typically a five, but I have a pair of dickies in sevens. I never really thought about it though. They are a bit big though...so I'm not sure. Maybe it's how you're cut. Because it really depends on your body shape, and how well it fits to the style. Some pants I wear really small sizes to , and then others like Levi's for instance, I have to suck in to wear the even bigger size. It does depend on the brand, and how certain parts of your body are shaped i.e thighs, height, waist, hips....It just all depends.

Q: i think i'm gonna tell this guy i like him tomorrow. the problem with that was...yesterday i thought i was going to do it today...but i didn't. i think it's because 1) i have no idea how to put it into words that don't creep him out a bit, and 2) i open my mouth to do it, just..improvise...and the words melt away and i'm left with air...
so my question is this....how and when should i do it? i see him at lunch all the time, and he rides my bus, if that helps any.
Why do you have to come out and say---"Hey I like you..." That is bound to be weird unless you stick in into a funny situation. How old are you? If he's mature, a really good way, is just to ask him to do something. Like..."hey I heard there's this really cool movie out (make sure to put it in less cheesy terms) wanna check it out with me friday?" Make sure it sorta flows with the conversation, unless you are older, guys sorta get creeped out when a girl tells them she "likes" them. So just take it slow. Do stuff with him outside of school. If you have anymore questions, either drop one in my inbox, or email me. :D -

Q: My mom always complains about me never being home. She says that she thinks that i dont love her and only want to talk to her when i want something. (im sure everyone is gonna say that their mom is like that too), but are there any ways that i can 'hang out' or spend time with my mom with still being able to be as social and hang out with my friends as much as i do? please give me some ideas to have fun with my mom (i know that sounds lame) but i know it would help me to be able to do more stuff.
I know this may sound weird...but if you actually spent time with your mother...instead of TRYING to make time for her, you might actually enjoy it. You can do that whole "I don't want to "hang out" with my mother, and have a huge social life...but it's pointless when you think about it. Your mother is always going to be there for you, and she loves you unconditionally...and would die for you...how many of your friends would do that? I'm not saying to NOT spend time with your friends...I'm just saying DO STUFF with your mother. Go shopping with her and don't ask for anyhing for a change. When you go into one of her shops..and she's trying on clothes....tell her how great they look on her. It's alright for mothers and daughters to be friends. And eventually you'll want to do stuff with her, rather then spend every waking moment with your friends. Imagine if one of your best friends spent all their time with another friend? You'd be jealous too. Try to see where your mother is coming from...and compromise. She has a life too.

Q: i started my period a few months ago...and my mom gave me pads....i want tampons soo i can go swimming etc....soo i decided to ask her...i cant get the guts up to ask her...how should i ask her?
Maybe it's because I've had my period for years and I'm comfortabe saying I have it to anyone that calls me a bitch :) Why be scared? She's your mother. She has it too. Walk right up to her like it's no big deal (cuz it isn't) and ask..."Hey Mom! I heard tampons are easier...can you get me some?" It's as simple as that. Promise. And your mother won't even give it a second thought. Oh and there is directions in each tampon box to show you how to use them. ;)

Q: okay i really need help on this...me n mah boyfriend have been together for a year n 3 months since sunday...but it seems like all we do is fight...but i know deep down in my heart we r meant to be....but we fight over the most dumbest things...like tonight...we was at the fair n i didnt wanna ride this one ride...n he got all pist n shit...n we fought n like always..he ended up cryin n i told him i was tired of fightin wit him n that things was gonna havet to change n he asked me if i was gonna break up wif him..n i said no...of course...cuz i love him way to much...but sometimes i feel like i should just to see what else is out there...but i cant bring myself to it...its like god is tellin me not to...like we r meant to be and just stick wit it..and also he claims that he dont know why he acts the way he does...(in yellin and cryin all the time bout stupid shit)...and i dont know what to do or what to believe or anythin else...someone plz help me!
I could help you...but I can't. It all depends on the situation. I have a friend in your position. He's in love with his girfriend (I mean...serioulsy in love...he's 17) and all they do is bicker and argue, constantly. And I personally want him to break up with her (because I like him) But I can't do that. He loves her ALOT, regardless if they bicker. He knows it'll be okay in the end. And he loves her. So my suggestion to you is find out if you REALLY want to be with this guy. Is he worth it? Because if he isn't...then yeah...it's time to find something that is. Ask yourself questions. Alot. Ask him questions. Question everything. And if you still can't decide take a month break from each other, and then fate will step in. If you like it better...then just break up with him...and move on. But if you realize that you really do want to be with him, fate will step in. :D

Q: Ok, there's this guy that likes me. And he's the nicest person you would ever meet. He's so content with who he is. And i love that, and everything about him. But he's bisexual and it kinda creeps me out. I mean, im not homophobic and i love bisexuals and guy people. But i've never gone out with one, and i just think its kinda weird. Like i would kiss him, and realize that he's kissed boys before and stuff. I don't know. Is it bad that i don't wanna go out with him just cuz he's bi?
It's not weird that you're recondsidering him because he's bi. It's natuaral to be freaked about something you've never done before, for instance..dating a bi guy. But if you do want to have a serious relationship with him...you will have to get over the fact that he's "kissed a guy" before. I've kissed a bi guy before. And it didn't really hit me. But then again, everyone's different. I was just leery on his actual sexuality. But if you're sure he's bi... and you like him. Focus on, not how many guys he's kissed, but what his eyes do when he wants to kiss you. Everyone's differet, and over time, it won't matter to you.

Q: ok i look at my advice page and half of it doesn't even come up it just has a little 1 on the bottom it won't show the rest of the page what do i do?
Ask "MFS" he's the best at site difficulties. And he'll help you out.

Q: okay i have 2 best friends and i have a extra ticket to go too carowinds and i dont know who too take!! one is a girl ive had for 3 years and one is a boy ive had for a year and i love them too death
I personally think you should take the person that'll have the most fun.

Q: If you fell in love (like REALLY fell head over heals in love) and you know it will never ever EVER work out(like the man might as well be dead its so never ever going to happen), is it normal to feel like you'll never love anyone that way again? He didn't break up with me cuz we weren't ever really together, but my heart is broken. I'm not angry with him or anything either. Its just that I know in my heart that i will never feel this way about anyone ever again, just is it normal?
Yeah...it is normal. I'm saying this fro experience. Your heart is broken, and it's going to stay that way for a long time. But eventually you'll find tape, and start piecing the pieces back together. It'll still hurt, trust me, but it gets better. Time heals everyhing. You'll never really forget him, but you also will realize that your heart wasn't meant for him. Do stuff. Do stuff with friends. Hang out with guys...YES you will see him in other guys. You'll hear his laugh, see the same glint in his eyes with this new guy yur talkin to...but it's okay. He was part of you. You will eventually move on (so I'm told) when you start realizing that what you're feeling now isn't reality, and everything about him should be a memory. And yet...it never will be will it? If you ever need someone to talk to about this email or IM me. I know what you're going through, and maybe I can be a drug. :D It was worth a shot. -

Q: me and my sister fight all the time. shes a teenager. and i am three years younger than her. will she grow out of it? how should i act towards her? beacause right now i feel like i really need a sister, not an enemy :.(
I'm going to...attempt this. By answering this question, I'm giving you advice from the "teenage" prospective...since my sister is 3 years younger. First off. Don't listen to anyone that says "Just talk her and tell you how you feel." That is shit, and that is a lame excuse for advice. Because it's not realistic. If you do that...she feels really bad. And then she'll try to spend time with you because she feels bad about how she's been acting towards you, and it will be one big facade she's putting up, and it won't last long. Your sister loves you, right? Of course she does. But sometimes she doesn't know how to show it. You bug her. You mock her. You imitate her...and you try to be more like her. And sometimes you try too hard. Good sister relationships take time to build. So don't annoy her, and don't try to spend every waking moment with her. Start slow. For instance...one night when she's watching a television show...just plop down at a safe distance..and during the commercial say something she'll find funny. Get a conversation started. And laugh. Laughing is always great. Try to talk to her (not your 1st conversation) about what's up in her life...and earn her trust. For instance, if you find out something bad she did, or she tells you a secret, don't consider it perfect blackmail. Treasure it. Build on it. And once your sister realizes that you are your own person, she'll be more apt to talk to you about things and do stuff with you. :D Anything else, ask me. -

Q: i don't have a father figure in my life. my dad is a jerk..he tried like almost killing me before..and i don't see my step-dad as a father! do i need a father figure in my life? please help! i rate high!

It is said that you do. My mother says it. But I strongly believe you don't. I don't have one either. But...I don't really care because I love my mother more than anything, she's my role model, and she's all I need. I think you need someone to look up to. Get advice from. Talk to. Someone who will help you shape you into the person you are going to be some day. That doesn't have to be your father. The only thing, it might change the way you look at relationships. Atleast it did for me.

Q: My friend always says that i am acting differently around these other girls that i act around her. but she cant give me ANY examples of how i am being like that! i just dont understand! she gives me this whole speech about how i should be the same around everyone and be yourself...but i have no clue what she is talkin about!
I can't quote this perfectly...but I know the jist of it. You are only yourself, when you're by yourself. I sometimes even doubt that. But for the most part. I think it's true. You will be different around everyone. Seriously. It is part of who you are. You are different around everyone. For instance. My three best friends are completely different in every which way. One is serious and really deep. One is shallow and hyper and concieted. And one is self absorbed ad gorgeous. With one, we talk alot and tell each other what matters most. With another I pretend i'm pretty and strut down the side of the highway getting beeped at by strange men. And another I sit and listen to everything and give him advice, and acknowledgement. And I'd never do any of these things with anyone different. The point is. You are SO complex. You have SO many sides. You don't show them with everyone. As long as you aren't "pretending" with them...then you are being yourself, the only way you know how with that person. Your friend is wrong. She likes how you are with her. She just has to accept it. :D

Q: It's Kevin1986 here with a problem and a couple of questions. I'm friends with two guys,let's say D and J. J used to go out with a girl that I'm very close with,but not dating,although I'd like to. He's pretty obessive,talking about her all the time. Anyway,D used to like her too and they almost went out,but they had a falling out. About a year ago,a new guy,M,goes out with her. I don't care about M and neither do they. J and D want me to tell M that the girl he's going out with is a headtrip because their relationships with her didn't work. I say,it's his bed and it's job to determine whether his girl is crazy or not. I say D and J want me out of the way so they can get her,because I know she'd hate me forever if I tried to break up her relationship. Since I care about her,I want her to be happy even if it's not with me. Your thoughts on this issue? P.S I never really considered telling M this,but I want your opinions on what the real story is.
A million possiblities on what the real story is. I think though, that your side seems pretty liable though. The thing that really gets me is..they don't give a damn about M...so why would they give a damn about trying to save him from her? That isn't logical. And breaking her up to get her is a bad way of going about anything. All one can do is sit back in the shadows and lust from a distance. Besides...when she breaks up with M...:D -Sorry, it's late. But I'll have better ideas tommorow.- Hope my opinion made sense.

Q: ok im im a guy and im 14 and im close 2 my first kiss. i wanna do it but ifi do it it will b at amovie and i on want people 2 c me weni kiss cuz i ge real shy and then i get nervous and then i start 2 stutter:( wat can i do 2 make myself more comfortable?
:D It's okay. Really it is. Calm down. I have one suggestion though if you don't want to be seen in the movie theatre, go to the back of the theatre. Top row...all the way down. NO ONE will see you. Trust me, especially if you go to a good movie. And here's another great thing. When you DO sit in the back, the girl knows what's coming. She's going to expect it. So, if she acts like she doesn't want to sit there...then it's probably because she doesn't want to do it in that setting, or she doesn't want to kiss you (which isn't likely) So if she smiles...or even just agrees with you...she wants it. And trust me, you'll be comfortable then. ;)

-Becoming un-shy takes some work. This you will never really "grow" out of, you're just going to have to work harder than some people. Once you become more comfortable with the girl you are around...things will eventually get better. Promise. You'll bring out your true self with her, and if you don't...ask yourself why you're with her (cheesey/lame/corny) But true. -
