Q: If you had a choice. If you had to choose between studying for a really important test or helping out a friend in need. What would you do?

I would help out the friend in need. If you don't have time to study after doing what you need to do, you can try talking to your teacher. Usually teachers are very understandable, and if you explain your situation, you can probably reschedule it.

good luck- :)

Q: 13/f
I was at a sleepover about 2 years ago (I know.. a long time ago) and we were playing truth or dare at night. Well somebody dared me to shave my THIGHS!!!! and I had no chickens left. (chickens are the 'no thanks, I pass' thing in truth or dare) So I took my friends razor and shaved everywhere on my thighs. Well about a few weeks after I found some hairs on my thighs. I know it's normal for a girl to shave her legs, but what about the thighs??? is that normal?? and what should I do?? I have gym class in school next quarter and we're wearing shorts, I really dont want people to be disgusted about my hairy thighs. So what should I do? Continue to shave it? Please dont say wax them because I REALLY dont want to do that. Please and Thank you!!!

If I'm in a hurry, a will just shave my shins. However, for cheering at football games, I shave knees, shins, and thighs. It's totally normal to shave there. You could shave your shins every other day, and then shave knees and thighs maybe two times a week, depending on the coarseness and color of your hair.

Q: Ok, weird question...

My son is 8 years old and his height and weight is quite normal. He is at about the 50th percentile on the charts.

His feet have not grown in 3 years. He has worn the same size 1 shoes since kindergarten!

I never thought anything about it until we were shoe shopping last night and my husband seemed worried and said we should call the doctor.

Do you think it's normal and that he has slow feet, or maybe his growth is stunted??

Thanks for the advice!

If you're truly concerned, I would set up an appointment with a local endocronologist. Only good can come from the visit. If you find out nothing's wrong, great; if you find out there's a problem, you'll be glad you went to get it checked out.

good luck- :)

Q: what store can i buy a pair of bermuda shorts at? i want a pair for around $20 and they have to be available in small sizes because i'm a 00.

thanks guys!

Hey I'm also like your size, and it's really hard to find cute, juniors size clothing because the children's looks young. I can always find stuff at Rave and Pacsun that fits. The Rave also has tiny 0's that you might fit in, but Pacsun's 0's are big for me.

Q: When you are an young adult, what are ages? Is it like 13-? Or something...I'm lost!
HelP!

I think that basically being a "teenager" classifies you as a young adult. So 13-17 would be your range because once your 18, you are technically an adult.

Q: ok so i am lactose intolerant but i love icecream and chocolate milk and cheese so i have been kinda putting up with the dirreha the farting the sometimes if i eat alot puking and upset stomaches but i realised that it is getting worse as i keep on doing this why?the lactade pills work abit to help but i always forget to take them and also wat are some recipes for yummy snack foodsthat dont involve milk that are realitivly easy thnx=]

Hey, an awesome substitute to ice cream is sorbet. There is chocolate, raspberry, strawberry etc sorbet, and it is completely lactose-free. To make a chocolate milkshake, you can use soy milk and mix it with chocolate sorbet in a blender. Or, you can make a raspberry milkshake with raspberry sorbet and regular soymilk. Each is very tasty. Lactaid milk brand hasn't started making chocolate milk, but I have a feeling they may start soon because a lot of people have this intolerance. As mentioned before, chocolate soymilk is good.

You shouldn't have to deal with the nasty side-effects so help yourself out by avoiding the foods you know that hurt your intestines.

Q: whats some good tips on to being the best cheerleader.?
and a wicked good base?

any advice helps me xox

Work up your endurance by running a lap or so everyday or a mile every week. It's hard to cheer for a 3 hour game or do an intense 3 minute routine. Also, whenever you learn a new cheer or dance, practice it when you get home in front of a mirror. You may notice that you are doing a motion, and it looks really weird, so this way you will easily be able to fix it. For being a good base, lifting weights will help. In addition, when you begin stunting, and something isn't going right, stay positive. Placing the blame on the flyer is not helpful for anyone. You'll do fine, I'm sure =]

good luck- :)

Q: In the song London Bridge by Fergie, does the term "London Bridge" mean something bad? Because I was listening to the song with my Dad and he said, "This song is innapropriate."

I believe that "london bridge" are her bridges, which is another word for your pants. So "everytime you come around, my pants wanna come down" basically is what she is saying. Pants come down=sexual reference.

Q: 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!

Heyy yeah particles can be extremely confusing! "Desu" is not considered a particle. It is simply just the ending of a sentence, just like "Masu". Some really great websites that have helped me with particles and such are:

Q: hi does anyone know where ican find like cute and funny quotes for liek best friends?? liek the ones that say oo a friend would do this... but a best friend would....
and also cute and funny lvoe quotes??

1) A good friend doesn't knock, but a best friend doesn't knock and then yells "I'm hoomeee" when they come in your house.

2) A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a best friend will be sitting there with you saying "Damn that was fun."

3) A good friend won't tell anyone your secrets if you ask them not to, but a best friend automatically knows that she shouldn't tell anyone.

mehh that's all I can think of for now.

Q: Is cum suposed to be white or clear because i gave this guy a handjob and his cum was like clear.

It depends on the male's sperm count. If he has a high sperm count then it will look more white.

Q: what is 10% of 83 cents?

Whenever you're finding percentages this is what you do:
1) Move decimal over two places to the right (10% becomes .10)
2) Multiply this new number by the amount (.1 X 83)
3) Answer=8.3

hope this helps- :)

Q: how do you get no one to be in your top 8 or 12 or whatever?

You can "hide your top 8." Go to www.whateverlife.com & look at the mysapce codes and dthere is one that has an option for that so you can copy and paste it.

Q: If me and my boyfriend are fooling around can i get pregnant from his sperm if he doesn't stick his penis in my vagina? Can his sperm like drip in there or is it not possible? Thankyou.

If ya'll are in a hot tub or something then there is a slight chance. Or, if he had sperm on his hand and he fingered you. Really, there is a slim chance of you being pregnant.

Q: okay so this boy i really love just wants me to send pictured of my boobs . i dont want to but i told him that and he just got all mad i told him that i honestly love him for him he doesnt love me for me but he doesnt care hes telling people my secrets! what do i do? helppp

You don't need to be loving anyone like that. Honestly, he's getting mad because you didn't send him a picture of your boobs?? That's stupid and rediculous. You need to find someone a lot better than that who does not pressure you into doing sexual things. If you don't want to send the picture, then why should you? In life, we need to learn to please ourselves before others. And he doesn't need to be telling anyone else the private things ya'll talk about. Move on girl, you deserve better!

good luck- :)

Q: Me and my mom are very open with eachother and she was telling me a lot of stuff. She's 44 now and during her whole life she's NEVER worn a thong, never shaved her pussy, never fingered anyone or gave anyone a handjob or blow job, never masturbated, only made out with someone 3 times, and she's only had sex 2 times in her whole life and those 2 times were when me and my sister were born. I can't believe it because my mom seems like the type that was a slut when she was younger, no offence to her but its the truth. I wear thongs regularly and shes never even tried one on. I really think shes prude. Do you people agree with me?

It definitely sounds like she wasn't too experienced in the sexual category, but so what? She turned out fine right? You may want to experiment a lot more than your mom did, and that's okay. Everyone's different when it comes to sexual activity.

Q: Im 14yrs old almost 15 and my height is 5'1,and too small for my age{i know}.My weight is 121pounds and I think im fat !.I dont want to eat anymore because I dont wanna gain weight.I exercise 3 TO 4 TIMES a week but is not working plz help me!

First of all, your not to small. I'm 5'0 and I'm almost 16. Second of all, your body will go into 'survival mode' if you do not eat so you will actually gain weight. Exercising is good so keep up with that. Try eating smarter also. Instead of grabbing a cookie and a coke after school try some water and celery with ranch. Tiny decisions like that can really help.

good luck- :)
