Q: [there was no category for this so I put random weirdos]
Well I'm really into photography & my parents got me this really cool, professional camera for my birthday to use. I want to be a photographer when I grow up to if not a web/graphic designer. But they all kind of are in the same area.
Anyway, I really wanna learn how to take great pictures & get better. I like using nature or animals as my subject. I use a lot of contrast/focus, in my subjects, like a bee on a flower in a field. Those are the things I like to do.
Any good tips and/or websites?

What I did to get over my fear for at least a little bit is I found a spider like on the wall or outside my window or something and I just forced myself to get my face near it (not touching it, just near it). By looking at it it helped me understand spiders alot better

Q: ok so is there any way to get rid of zits and stuff on a picture like on photoshop or something??????
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah there are many ways. First open up your picture. Then go to the little eyedropper thing that lets you pick anything from your picture and it will turn into that color. So pick the skin color from right around the blemish or whatever. Then just go over it a little bit with the paintbrush or air brush tool. You could also select a part of your picture, then copy and paste and put it over the zit.

You have to think hard about this one. Im 15 and its hard for ME to take care of an infant. 14 may be a little young, but if you have to decide if you are responsible enough to do this. If you decide you think you should wait a few years until you are old enough, just nicely tell the woman that you think you should wait until you have taken a baby sitting course or had some sort of training. Until you do that, you could be a mother's helper, so that while the mom is home you can watch the baby and play with it, but still ask questions if you need to. If you DO think you are ready now to take care of an infant, make sure you read up on things like high chairs, daiper changing, excessive crying, and things like that. Make sure you are ready before hand, because you wouldnt want to be stuck with a crying baby and be crying yourself. Be careful!!! Good Luck with your job!

Q: i was wondering if anybody had any recommendations for magazines. i already love to read cosmo girl and seventeen, although sometimes, cosmo girl is not on the racks and it's dissapointing. i also read teen, but do you know of any magazines that are for teens, 13-17? i like magazines like seventeen, and hope to find more!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

well it depends on whether you want more fashion reading or celebrity gossip type stuff but I read;
GL (girls life but it is for teens)
seventeen
teen vogue
teen people
sixth 7 eight (you cant find that easily, its new)
BOP
tiger beat
J-14
YM
Elle Girl
Yeah thats all I can think of, they are all pretty good. Teen people, BOP, Tiger beat, and J-14 are mostly celebrity gossip type magazines.

Q: Alright, well- to say the least, my legs are absolutely hideous. They're white as a ghost, I have spider veins, stretch marks, scars, little black dots where my hair comes out, and HUGEEE thighs. I just hate it.
So, here's the thing. With summer coming, I don't want to be in Bermuda shorts the whole time-that's what I did last year & I felt like a total fool. But, when I did wear shorts or skirts or ANYTHING that revealed the upper thigh, I was totally embarrassed. I want to wear short skirts/shorts and look hot.
Please don't tell me to be happy with the way I am & not to feel like a fool ...

Have you joined a gym? I thought that my legs were huge too, (actually, they were) and I joined World Gym. It is actually really fun because you feel good after you work out and there is music there and t.v.s there. What I do is work solely on my upper thighs and calves. After three days of going there, (not three days in a row, I go like twice per week), my legs feel so much stronger and I am not as self conscious about people seeing my legs. If you don't have a gym near you, lunges are THE BEST way to go. Do like 10 lunges on each leg every day, and I promise you will be able to run faster than most girls in two weeks. As for the stretch marks, I think there is a cream to get rid of those. Anyways, here is how to do lunges. http://www.ehow.com/how_6012_traveling-lunges.html

Q: My ex came over and we were planning on having sex, but I wanted to you know... be intimate before we did. He got aggravated and took me in my room slammed the door and pretty much ripped off my ckothes and commenced to having sex, I didn't say no because at first I thought it was funny then as we went on I was just like.. let him finish and that'll be it forever. So finally he was done... but I didn't say anything. I felt dirty and nasty, my friend said that it was rape but... I don't know. What do you think?

Any type of sexual intercourse that you do not give consent to is rape. Sorry about that happening, if I were you, I would press charges. If they don't say its rape it would definitaly be aggrivated assault. Good luck

Well, my suggestion would be to find an adult woman, like a friends mom or someone that your close to, an aunt, grandmother (yeah lame whatever) hehe. Its an awkward situtation but just find someone that you know real well, they know what you are going through

It depends on where you are going, if its somewhere really cold then you need lots of layers of clothing. Where I went a few weeks ago we could just ski in like a sweatshirt. I guess its better to be safe then sorry. But also, bring alot of pairs of waterproof gloves, in case you fall cuz your hands get really cold. bring some sunscreen cuz the sun reflects off the snow, bring like a hat or ski band. Bring extra hot chocolate mix!

Hey, I have taken a Red Cross babysitting course! It is really fun, even if it was like six hours. But overall, it really helps to have certification because parents are glad to know that you have had training. Anyways, to answer your question, they teach you how to change diapers, how to play with kids, dealing with separation anxiety, feeding, basically everything you need to know. If they forgot to teach you how to do something, just ask. My instructor was cool and really nice. They show you corny videos on playing with the kids and what to do in an emergency. Also, you get to practice the heimlich maneuver and CPR. If the parents don't bring up the money, just say "by the way I charge about six dollars an hour" or whatever amt. usually no more than five or six dollars per kid. Most of the time the parents WILL bring it up, unless its a close friend or something. When you are talking to the parents, DONT be afraid to ask questions. Its better to be safe than sorry. Make sure you ask what and when they can eat and if they have any allergies. Hope I helped! leave one in my inbox if you have more questions.

Try going through each member of your family and think what they have good in each of them. Think "how would I miss them if they were gone". Maybe if you start being extra nice to them, you will see that they aren't too bad. Spend some time away too though, because too much time with one person can make even more tension between you.

Q: I have absolutley no idea on what to get my best friend. I have asked her and she won't tell me antyhing. I want to get her something [ special ] and I have til about Saturday to do so. I really wanted to get her an iPod nano, but it's $200 and that's way to much.

my favorite thing to give my friends is gift baskets. You can always chose just what they like to go in them. Like one time, my friend who is like OBSESSED with turtles, I gave her a huge basket filled with stupid kid "I see the green turtle" books and pencils and games. Everything to do with turtles. Then another time I gave my friend who likes movies I gave her a blockbuster gift card with a basket of candies and popcorn and drinks. Also, if you don't like that idea, make one of those really really neat scrapbooks, you know, like the ones that take a long time to make. I have made three for my friends so far and they REALLY love them.

Q: Okay, well I'm writing a story and I'm very thorough with the details and they have to be true [if I make them up, I'll soon go insane over them lol]
Anywhos, I wanted to know things about physical check ups at the doctor's office:
What are some common known things they do?
Would they know if you cut (from scars)
Would they know if you're bulimic [this character hasn't been bulimic for long nor is he that commited]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, yes if the scars are obvious, and if they make you take your shirt off the scars would be quite noticible, unless the character made them intentionally to look like accidents. And as for bulimic, that would look like dark circles under the eyes, extremely skinny, not just thin but SKINNY. So yeah the doctor would probably know. Some things that they do for a checkup is eyes/nose/mouth/ears check, sometimes some kind of excercise checkup-like running in place and then checking your pulse, and for guys-hehe you know the drill. so yeah

Q: 13/f
Its that time of age when everything changes!
I've been getting a lot of discharge lately& yes I've already started my period.
I just need a way to keep myself clean and odor-free down there.
Any HOME REMEDIES or certain ways to clean down there?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well technically discharge is cleaning "down there". You don't want to make it stop! And yes I know it's annoying, but it's just a fact of life. Discharge is just "cleansing yourself" hehe. Yeah sorry for the bad news.

Q: I'm 15/f. I love my mom I really do, but all she does is complain about how unperfect we are. Me and my sister are adopted and it seems like she regrets it everyday. It's always "I've never seen children so iressponsible/filthy/stupid." Me and my sister try we really do. Here's the question: What am I supposed to do if she's never happy with me?
thanks,
tired

Well obviously you really love your mom and wouldn't want anything blamed on her, so, one thing I could suggest would be to try maybe for one week making her days easier. I mean no offense but maybe youre not noticing how much stress is going on in her life. If that does not work, then talk to her or another parent. Ask "Mom, do you ever think that we don't help enough around the house?" or something so that she knows you care. If she still says that you don't help out enough, just tell her in a nice way that you feel your trying to help alot, but your mom isn't appreciating you for it.
