Hey! I got my teacher this awesome gift for the end of the year, and I want to make it from the whole class. I spent $25 on it, and I want everyone in te class to pay $1 to 'chip in'. Our teacher is rarely absent, and she never leaves the room. how can I distract her in order to get the $$$? (link)
Do it at lunch time or something or reccess


My younger sister is 18 next week so its quite a big deal (as we're english!) but i have no idea what to get her. As anyone got any ideas at all? im really stuck! I rate high guys! (link)
People now days by them "18-Keys" which are ment to 'lead' the adult into adulthood! That would be a great present for a 18 year old. Or maybe for a laugh and joke buy some naughty things to spice up there love life and have a giggle your self!


Hello, sorry I didnt know what category to list it under i think this should be ok.

Well i have a brace and I think it looks really ugly! Im not sure weather boys take intrest in me anymore and I'm really scared incase it ruins my 'love skills' aka kissing etc.

Also how could I kind of "hide" them so people dont notice them so much?

While you're getting or already wearing braces smile.
You're not alone, here are some answers to questions about getting a set of perfect straight teeth. What kind of braces should I get?
The most common (and toughest) kind are stainless steel the silvery hardware you think of when you hear braces. This type is most affection and also more visible. Or you can have the braces which hold the wires glued to the tounge side of your teeth. From the front no one can see that you're wearing anything but those suckers can scrape your tongue and make you talk funny at first. Third option;ceramics. Those clear babies are glued to the front of your teeth but keep in mind they're expensive. (like 200$ to 500$ more then steel) and very hard, you can even ending up chipping your upper teeth when you bite down, you may be able to strike a compromise by getting ceramic on top and stainless steel on the bottom, The last choice is called "Invisalign" it's a transperent tray (picture someone like a hard plastic wrap molded into a retainer) that you take out before you eat, brush and floss. It works best after you have all your permanent teeth (arround 12 or 13 but it varies) and it's not really meant for heavy duty tooth moving, it's more for filling minor gaps.
How do you know what colours you should choose for your bands?
This is totally up to you, silvery -gray or clear ones blend in with your brackets if that's what you're concerned about but we like to think of the coloured for self-expression. Use them to celebrate a holiday (like red and green for Christmas and pink for valentine's day) or as another place to wear your signature shade. The bands are so tiny you don't have to worry aboout them clashing with your clothes. Just pick a colour that grabs you and you can get new ones every offic visit so there's very little commintment involved.
How do you deal with food getting stuck in braces?
We know you don't wanna hear it but the best way to get gunk of of your brackets is to brush your teeth after every meal! Nooooo! Wait don't stop reading! There are more reasons to start toting a toothbrush arround with you. Brushing helps provide stains which is good and when tiny bits of food get stuck in ur brackets they can react with bacteria in your mouth become acidic and act like bleach. That gives you small permanent spots arround your braces that are lighter then the rest of your teeth. If you forget your toothbrush at lunch time rinse your mouth out with water its bitter then nothing. And swishing with a flouride rinse beofre bed will take care of the books and crannies you may have missed.
What do you do if you play the trumpetm is there anything you can do to protect your mouth?
You can ask your orthodonitist for bumpers,smooth little jackers that'll fit over your braces. They sghield your lips from your brackets while you toot away.
Is it diffcult to kiss when you have braces?
The key is to gentle the softer the smooch the less likely you'll be to scratch your mouth (or your kissing partner)and don't orry if the guy has braces too. Just make sure you can both keep your lips over your brackets so they don't scrape together. Here's a bonus:You;ll have an excuse to "practice" until you perfect your technique.
Should I change the way I do makeup?
It's all about pulling attention away from the metal and the one way to do that is to put attention to your eyes. That means TONS of mascara. when it comes to eyeshadow the color is up to you, but limit glitter, braces glint a lot on their on and sparkle overload is never good. For lip gloss go nude and super sheer shades, subtle colors won't look too shiny next to metal,buit you don't have to ditch bold colours altogether. Gwen Stefani proved during her braces perioid red lipstick draws eyes away from the steel. Just switch to a matte finish so your mouth isn't too loud. An annoying problem is that your brackets may act like tiny traps for color. There are easy ways to fix this. A lip base gives your gloss something to holfon to; try filling in your mouth with lipliner before putting on lipstick to lock the color in place. You can also try the old school trick of puckering your lips arround your finger while you pull it out of your mouth. Then go wash your hand. Please
Should I smile with my teeth showing?
Yes! Yes! Yes! There's no reason not to-braces are so common, people don';t even think. And frankly, we're firm believers that they make a grin look amazling cute so we say go ahead and glash that smile with confidence.
Be honest, do they hurt?
We're not gona lie. Braces can be extremley painful. Your mouth will feel sore for a couple of days after a little tightening so stick to soft foodds (Go Jello!) A pain reliever like tyylenol may help you wait it out too. And on a day to day basis you can get clear strips of wax specifically for mashing into your wires to keep the metal from rubbing againsdt the insides of yourlips a not-so-pretty but very effective solution.
Do you really have to give up gum?
We wish we had better news for you but yes you do have to say good bye to your beloved Bubbleicious, it may be hard to accept at first but there are good reason. Anything that's super chewy (like caramel and taffy) will wrap along your braces and getting it out can be nearly impossible But that's not all you also have to give up biting into ice and hard candy If you don't your brackets will pop right off of your teeth and bend your wires which can be painful. Plus if that happens you'll have to make an extra trip to the morthodontist to repair the damage. So it's really best if you switch to breathmints and remember not to chew on stuff like Jolly Ranchers and lollipops. Sorry guys


Hello im caroline! I'm 14 years of age and i have really bad acne! I keep picking it and it just wont go away its so ugly and annoying how do i get rid of it! All the boys say i have a fanny rash on my face :S or spot the dog how do i make it go away! please help!!

About 85% of people age 12-24 have acne.Here are some facts about Acne and how you can get rid of it.
1. First of all, Acne is NOT caused by chocolate like some people think. It's really caused by hormones.
2. Washing your face a thousand times a day only irrates the skin more. Your skin because your skin overcompensates and produces more oil. Use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, $10, or a spot treatment like Clearasil Instant Clean Rollerball Applicator, $4.
3. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER PICK YOUR SKIN. IT ONLY MAKES THE SPOT INFECTED AND MAKES IT STAY LONGER.
4. Hydrogen peroxide is great for cleaning out cuts, but for a pimple, your best bet is a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide treatment. For the salicylic acid variety, we recommend Origins Spot Remover Acne Blemish Treatment Gel, $10.
5. There are few problems that don't have products designed to help — back breakouts are not one of them. So try a cleanser like Neutrogena Body Wash, Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment, $5, and it should clear everything right up
6.Covering a zit with heavy-duty stuff will only worsen it. But that doesn't mean you're stuck. Try Clean & Clear Concealing Treatment Stick, $5, to work undercover.
7. You should always protect your skin from the sun, but especially when you're using antibiotics or a topical acne treatment. A good everyday solution is Olay Complete UV Protective Lotion SPF 15, $7.
8. It's hard to believe, but the black part of a blackhead is really just a chemical reaction to the stuff that's clogging it. Which makes us feel better, because visible dirt on your face is pretty gnarly. To get rid of them, use Clearasil Blackhead Clearing Pads, $4.
9. Anything touching your face (even your hands) can make acne worse. But don't hang up your phone forever. Just make sure that you clean it — and your hands — often with alcohol wipes to keep the germs away.
10.One type of hyperpigmentation is the small discoloration that's left after the pimple heals. In order to avoid this, don't pick (as if we need to say it again) and avoid the sun. Taking care of this should help.

3 tips to guilt-free eating!

Most of us feel guilty when we overeat. So here's how not to:

1 eat slowly chew each bite 15 times. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to realize it's full-if you eat too quickly, you'll overdo it.

2 be mindful smell in your food to take in all the aromas and notice how it feels in your mouth. These sensations send signals tyo your brain that make you feel more satisified

3 Respect cravings eat a little of what you want-if you skip a treat because you think it's "Bad" you'll end up feeling more deprived and end up eating more of other things to make up for it.

Hope it helps!

well me n best m8 av ad a massive argument ova boy i tried sayin sorry but she tld me to go away wot shall i do? plz elp luv sophie reins x (link)
Hello Sophie,

Well, ask your friend why she wont be your friend again, what can you do to make her want to be friends with you, what have you done wrong. And tell her friends are ALWAYS before boys and that you should never argue over a stupid boy. Boys come and go, good friends stay for life! Always remember that!!

Love Lil-Keaney x
