Well, I really love helping people with stuff, it makes me feel good, and I am going to school to be a psychologist and fashion designer(kind of, haven't decided). I'm 18 and my favorite movie right now is The Wedding Date, because the lines are really cute. Oh and I think the hottest guy ever is Spike(James Marsters) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he isn't the only hott guy I like but he is on top of the list.

I have a knack for understanding guys and girls I've been told, and thats good because I don't think I would have made it through school if I didn't.

Well hope to hear from you soon, and by the way just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I'm not mature, I may be young but I know about the world. So questions from all ages are welcome.

I have this bump almost inside my vaginal area. It looked like a pimple to begin with.
I haven't done anything sexual
i'm 13, if that helps at all
should i be worried?
help! (link)
Don't worry it could just be, well a pimple. Usually if there was something wrong there would be more than one bump, so no worries. Hope I helped.



this is to the ladies

my boyfriend has been living with his best friend and he was mad on sunday when we were in church and me and his best friend think its on how close we are but he said its not that, but ne ways what shhould i get him for christmas i dont want to get him anything that would upset him i mean he hasn't lived with his family since halloween i dont know what to get him please i got to know something christams is like 5 days away (link)
If he could be questioning your realtionship, then maybe go with a picture frame with you in it, or (this is cheezy) a heart, symbolizing your heart to him, you know that you are faithful. Or just a watch or something you know he will like, you are his girlfriend, you should know, and if you don't, ask his best friend, he should know. Hope I helped.


Me and my two friends Steph and Michelle are gettin' together for new years. Got any good ideas about things we could do :-] I would really appriciate it .. and I will rate high if you give good ideas :-]

Me and my friends have a bonfire, invite boys and let them do fireworks, for some reason guys really like setting stuff on fire. Then we take a ride on a trailer down some roads around us. I suppose you don't have a trailer ready on hand though so, maybe bonfire, even with out guys its really fun, make smores, talk, do fireworks. I don't know, that sounds fun to me. Hope I helped, good luck, and Happy New Years.


This probably doesn't fall under fitness but I have so much flab under my chin and neck...I have like a double/triple chin and neck! Does anyone know how I can get rid of this? (link)
If you are overweight there isn't much you can do about it, except lose weight. But there are face excercise that you can do, like moving your chin up an down and oout towards the sky. You can also kind of slap your chin on the bottom, in some weird way it works. Not much of a help I suppose, but good luck.


What is the cause of a subcutaneous (under the skin) infection? I had one on my toe that drove me half mad with pain for a week and I didn't even know what was wrong, since there was no open sore or anything. Finally I lanced the spot that hurt the most and presto -- no more pain. I want to know how it happened in the first place so I can hopefully never have it happen again. It doesn't make any sense that an infection would develop under the skin. (link)
It seems you know some of your medical stuff, so why are you asking? Or are you just using words you have seen before. Well no matter, you need help. I can't completely explain it, but I can try. Subcutaneous infections can be caused by many, many things. One it could have been a splinter or thorn got in your toe, and no there would not be a big sore, because the object is small, therefore leaving a small point of penetration into the skin. Second it could be a fungus or bacteria that some how got there and your body was trying to fight it, where most of the pain came from really, your body fighting the infection causing pus, and all sorts of other things being the side effect of fighting the infection. It was puffy, swollen right? Not flat when you lanced it? So anyways it could many things, so I suggest you keep the lanced spot very well bandaged and clean so not to get it more infected.

If it was a thorn or splinter I would just suggest don't walk barefoot in possibly dangerous places, if it was a fungus or bacteria well then, maybe just take vitamins everyday just to be safe, keep your body on point you know, and be clean, even though I imagine you keep clean anyways. Sorry that was so bloody long, but I hope I helped, at least minimally.


I am 13 and I still don't have my period!I don't know what is going on, I weigh more than a lot of my friends and they all already have them!!!What do I do????
Love always(please help),
Gina (link)
Don't panic quite yet, you are just 13. However if you don't get one by the time you are 15, I would go to a gynecologist or just have your blood tested for PCOS, it can cause acne, weight gain, and much more. But I imagine you don't have that, its kinda rare, but it can be fixed. I have it and I am fine now.


ok... well theres something wrong with me... and i dont know what it is its like im miserable because my friends are ture bitches! i love them but they are.. they r soo mean and its not jus one of them its pretty much all .. like theyll turn around and go amanda said you a 2 faced whore and i would of never said taht... i mean were worse then mean girls... and i wanna cut them loose but i cant.. because its all of them that do it and uhhh its jus horrible.... and i grew up with most of them soo i cant jus cut them loose... iv always wanted taht one true freind like that you can call you abouslt best freind..and here they all pair up... but then theres jus me... and i dont know everything i jus screwed up here and i dont know what to do please help me im in despret need of it!!!
. and i can admit im a bitch but not like them!!! (link)
I know you probably don't wanna hear this, but if they treat like crap, then you have ditch them. If they are going to be mean then they aren't true friends. Don't be a bitch, because then they will be bitches, and then things get worse and i just recommend talking to them about it, if they don't care about your feelings then don't be friends with them, its not your fault they are mean, rude, and obnoxious. Your one true friend is out there, someone who doesn't judge and is easy going. How old are you, I'm asking becasue your typing is kind of illegible almost, anyways, if you are less than 14 then don't worry about them you have time to make new friends that will last forever. Hope I helped.


I have my nose pierced and my little diamond stud feel out but that ring was a L shaped one and others are all curvy and crap. Does anyone know which is the best to by that goes in easy? (link)
The L shaped ones seem to stay in better, and if you ever bump your nose on something they don't hurt as much as a stud or the cuvy ones.


ok my mom is always with a differ guy and i know she doesnt want to be sigle all her life but i try to get along with her and she dosent even try to get a long with me i cant tell her ANYTHING about me and my life or what goes on at school and she believes all the rumors around my neiabor hood that say i am a slut and people go up to my moms work and says watch your daughter and i dont know what to do please HELP with every thing and my dad said he was going to get me this weekend the weekend before x-mas but he didnt well i am very up set please help and my mom is with a guy that is still married and she has been spending more time with him instead of us well the guy is getting a devorice but my mom needs to work with us and trying to buy a house we rent and we have food stamps and my mom is working all the time and i never have time to do anything and i get treated bad and i help her with everything please help me !!!!!!!! theres 6 of us i am the oldest 14 (link)
Man I am really sorry. Have you tried sitting down and talking to her, just make her sit down with you and tell her what you are feeling, calmly, no yelling, yelling tens to mess up everything. I know you shouldn't have to act like an adult at your age, the same thing happened to me, I was pushed into be an adult to soon, its not that bad, but its kind of emotionally rocky. If your Mom ignores you, then maybe you can go to a school counselor or something, I mean if you don't feel safe or you just can't take anymore responsibilty, you should tell someone, its not your fault that you have to use food stamos or that your mom doesn't pay attention to you. Your mom needs to get herself together and take care of you, thats her responsibilty. Make sure you have really good friends to back you up when you need them, a sholder to cry on you know? Good luck with everything, and I hope I helped some, my e-mail is on my advice column if you ever wanna talk.


Okay so, i was Watching Stuck In the Suburbs on DIsney Channel last night (please dont say im lame for wathcing diseny channel at 14). And at the end of the movie instead of Jordan Cayhill in the video the girls got to be in, his friend Eddie was. I never ever since the movie primeired got what that meant and why he was singing (eddie, jordans BFF). So if someone could tell me why that would be awesome. And if you guess why, say that you're guessing. Thanks! This has been eating away at me and i gotta' know! (link)
It;s becasue Jordan wasn't into the pop music anymore, with all the dancing, and cute fake smiles. So his friend Eddie took his place for him so that Jordan could write music and do what he wanted too. Did you get that? Hope that helped you.


what are ways to make my pores smaller?? i rate 5's to any answer!! (link)
There is this stuff called, Queen Helene's masque, it worls really well for me, actually the whole line is good too. Hope I helped, good luck with shrinking the pores.


what is the thing you are supposed to say after you read a fortune??


PLEAS HELP AND THANKS!!!! (link)
The standard thing to say is " in bed ", but me and my friends make up stuff, like " in a crack den " or " in a whore house ", just random stuff.


i really like this kid in 11th (im in 9th) and he always wants to hangout with me adn i do to but imscared so i always say i cant sometimes i really cant but sometimes im just making it up and im scared and he hasnt asked me in a couple weeks im scared i messed up and idk if he likes me back im so confused.. (link)
Have you asked yourself why you were scred in the first place? I don't know, maybe hang around him more at school, if he got tired of askin you, maybe you should ask him to hang out, there is an idea. Good luck, I hope you get your man.


How much does it cost to get your hair relaxed? My friend was just telling me about it and that sounds like what i need!!

If getting your hair relaxed is totally unreasonable could you give me some good products (shampos, etc)!!
These are what I have already tried:

Pantene Pro-v Silky and Smooth
Frizzease heat activated
Garnier Fructise
Brilliant Brunette


Nothing seems to work!! My hair is curly and pretty when it's wet, but when it dries it gets frizzy and looses the curlyness. Then it's like wavy and poofy. I like my hair when it's wet! i've tried using curl enhancing products, but my hair is still always frizzy. I even tried that smoothing milk from garnier fructis and it STILL didn't help!! Suggestions anyone?? (link)
Have you tried mousse and a straightener? Um.. you can put gel in your hair after you have toewe dried your hair, that worked for me. It would help if IK knew how old you are too, becasue my hair used to be curly and frizzy until I got into High School, then it calmed down. I think it might be hormonal thing, like when you get older you secrete more sweat and hormones that make your hair more oily therefore keeping it more tame. Hope I helped.


ok i have a huge crush on a guy whois older than me but he said he felt the same way the only problem is he has a gf of 19 months what do i do i really like him alot and he is always fliring with me!i cant live without him i get sad wen i dont talk to him after 1 day plzz help i dont know wat to do (link)
Don't be offended by what I am about to say. DOn't ever say you can't live with out a boy, thats nuts, And believe me I like guys,a lot, but I will never say I can't live with out one, because it might end up completely not true, however you can say that you really like him. It's just that I don't think people should rely on one person to bring them happiness, happiness is your own decision, and it shouldn't be up to anyone else. I would suggest you talk to him about it. if he wants to be with you he should break up with his girlfriend. Don't let yourself become the other woman, if you know what I mean, unless of course you want to be the other woman, if so then by all means do what ya want. Warning though, if he cheats with you on his girlfriend, who is to say he won't evercheat on you, just keep that in mind. Sorry i wrote so much, but good luck and I hope I helped.


Is it healthy for a short 14 year old to weigh 100pounds? and is there any way other than pills to get rid of a stomach? Specific exercises? foods? anything. (link)
DO NOT TAKE PILLS unless you know exactly what is in them! You can do sit ups and crunches to get rid of the tummy, Just eat healthy, vegetables, not too many sweets, stuff like that. Hope i helped.

hving problem installing HP scanjet 4600p' getting error "1934-IIS virtual roots".
how do i work around it???? (link)
Oh, wow, sorry but I can't help you there, I kinda don't know anything about printers. Sorry I could not help.


i was just wondering if anybody had any ideas on how to get rid of a flabby tummy - like the part that hangs over your belt. i am not a fat girl, infact, i am pretty small for my age/height, but it seems like no matter what i do i always have a pretty big flab hanging down. i have been doing 100-200 situps a night for at least 6 months now & it actually really is helping my abs, but it's not targeting my stomach, which is below that. so i need a different approach then situps, because they are only toneing my abs, not my lower stomach. if anyone has any ideas (exercise and/or deiting) it would be greatly appreciated! (link)
It might be that your pants are just too tight, so skin hangs over, its called a muffin top by the way. And I suppose if you keep doing what youare doing it should go away, but I still suggest a size up in your pants.


I'm a 17 year old dude. I've got hair growing everywhere on my chest (NOT gross thick like in 40 yr old virgin or anything), just a lot of testosterone.
Anyway, do girls prefer unshaved or shaved chests?
If I shave my chest and stomach, what about my underamrs?
I don't think shaving legs and arms is good idea. I mean, I'm a Texan and shaving my body is hard enough.
What about, down there? That region. Shaved or unshaved. (I'm trying to stay 'young person' friendly with this question). (link)
Ok bud I am from Texas, girls in Texas like a man's man not a girly man, so no shaving down there, and no shaving of the arms and legs. Now as for the chest, and happy trail as someone called it, those are more what the type of girl you like says, but really its all your choice, just giving you my opinion. Oh and I am young person friendly, 18/f. Goodluck
