Ok. I Know This Sounds Horrible, And Nasty. But Every Night I'm Not On My Period, I Masterbatee With My Pillow, Or My Stuffed Animal, Or In the Shower. Is Something Wrong With Me Or Is This Natural?
it's normal. its called hormones. many many many people do it whether they admit it or not. as long as it doesnt get to the point where its taking over your life, such as doing it excessively every day or keeps you from going out with friends or something because you'd rather be doing that, then youre fine.
17, UK
I have an assignment in which I have to research anything of my choice to do with travel & tourism.
I need to use 3 different literature types (eg, internet, book, brochure, news papers) relating to my chosen topic.
I need produce notes, evidence of source a finished report and finally I need to present my assignment in a class discussion.
Most of my class are doing well known, popular topics, such as:
Disney, Florida
9/11
The Princess Diana Memorial
Various Castles around the UK
Paris
For mine, I want something thats different, unique and not as mentioned, something that will keep my discussion going, something that will keep my class and tutors interested and wanting to ask questions and find out more...
I have come up with a few ideas, but if anyone can give me some more I will be so thankfull!
Heres what I have thought up:
Great Barrier Reef, Aus
Auschwitz (The largest Concentration Camp)
Bull Fighting, Spain
Niagra Falls, Canada
Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens, Egypt
Great Wall of China
Las Vegas, Nevada, US
Anne Frank House, Netherlands
Loch Ness, Scotland
Anyone got any idea's? Baring in mind it has to relate to Travel & Tourism & I need to be able to find 3 different sources of information about the topic.. And i'm in the UK so I havent got easy access to brochures of foreign attractions.
Thankyou
How about Hershey, Pennsylvania? the chocolate city where everything is Hershey-based. the street lamps, the theme park, and everything else. =]
Also i really like the Auschwitz idea. or Dachau. it was another concentration camp. and you can go tour the prison and stuff. i LOVED learning about the concentration camps and stuff, i just thought it was so intriguing how so much cruelty really happened, and i know other people in my class did too. that would be very attention-grabbing.
-------------------
edit:
um, im not sure either. i mean you probably could, its a pretty big tourist attraction. but im not sure about anything specific, sorry!

I'm a 17 yr old girl and when i was in 7th grade i saw pictures of myself and hated my eyebrows and how the part toward the middle sticks up straight.
this is gonna sound stupid, but i tried shaving a little bit off of the middle part (closest to my nose and the middle of my face) on each eyebrow.
now i have to keep plucking or shaving that area b.c if i don't it starts to grow in and ppl will know i've been shaving my eyebrows. i want to grow them back in and shape them like a normal person now that i know how, but how can i grow them back in without them being at the awkward state between shaved and grown in?
i tried putting coverup on them but the hair sticks through. sorry i know this probably sounds really bizarre but any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
you're either gonna have to deal with it until they come back in long enough for you to pluck, or go get them waxed. if you let them grow back, chances are they're not as obvious to other people as they are to you, especially if your hair's not very dark. your best bet would probably be to go get waxed, but even that means your gonna have to let the hairs grow in a little, and that way you can get them shaped and everything all at once.
i just started college first year but i would like to know where can i sell my books after first semester is over. i know u can do it at your college but they wnt give u as much. so the next place would be online. my friend told me ebay. any other ideas that will work good? thank you in advance!
ebay or amazon is your best bet. i used to go to a private school where we had to buy and sell our books every year. if they dont have a "book fair" type thing at your college where you can sell the books for next year's students, i'd go with amazon.
where can i grt a good smokey eye deal makeup?
what brand is a good black eye shadow with GLIMMERS AND SOME SHINE is what im looking for
im sooo tired of wasting my money on a lot of smokey eye shadows dont dont even work or stay put
so yeah ...
im looking for one that can be sold in a DRUGSTORE and like sephora..
smokey eye colors.. gray white and darrrkkk black
with the shimeering thing going on
thanks lotsssss
if you have an ULTA make-up store around you, go there. there's an eyeshadow trio, i'm pretty sure it's made by Smashbox, that has black, white, and shimmery silver, and it's called twilight. its really good eyeshadow, i use it like everyday and i love it!
if you're havin trouble keeping eyeshadow on, buy some eyeshadow primer. Urban Decay makes some good stuff. its kinda pricey.. i think it was like $16 a bottle, but it works amazingly. you can run like a 5k and your make-up wont budge.
Ever since my boyfriends x from high school *his first "love"* broke his heart he doesn't get attached to anyone or tell anyone his feelings how do i get him to open up to me? I really do care about him and I wont break his heart..
time. it really is that simple. i'm the same way as your boyfriend is, and my [ex]-boyfriend used to get so mad at me that i wouldn't open up to him. i hated that, and it didn't help me to open up any quicker. everytime we'd fight, he'd make it a point to bring that up and throw it in my face like i just chose to not open up to him. give it time, he has to LEARN that he can trust you, it's not going to just come overnight. like the others said, being open about yourself will help alot and make him feel more at ease. it could take a long time, i know in my case it did, but just dont push the issue and remind him often that you care about him & he can trust you. overtime he'll open up.
okay so i really wanna go to a concert, im not really picky i like alot of music. i live in connecticut so i was wondering if anyone knew what concerts were going on around here and where can i get tickets? oh and around how much would they be? thank youu
ticketmaster.com
you can type in your city/state and see all the concerts that are coming up. if you see one you like, click on it, and search for tickets. then you can find out how much they are and buy them if you'd like.
Hey, so on friday, i have to get my wisdom teeth out. i'm 15 so it's not really like the roots have really grown in or anything. but i'm still really scared. like, i hate shots, and of course they have to give me and shot, and they are sticking tubes through my nose. how far do the tubes go in? and how long does the pain last (like day wise, how many days does the pain last?)i'm just reallyyyyyy scared. please give me advice and answer questions! thanks!
i just had my wisdom teeth taken out two weeks ago. i had laughing gas & an IV, they didnt put tubes up my nose, so i dont know about that. i've never even heard of that.
i was in terrible pain for the first 4 days. after that eating was extremely uncomfortable for the next like 3 days. it's also weird to eat with the stitches bc you can feel them. you'll probably have the dissolving stitches which dissolve in 7-10 days. be sure to rinse with salt water often bc that helps them dissolve faster. try to keep ice on your mouth for at least the first day.
also do NOT drink with a straw until the gums are healed. they say you can eat ice cream and stuff, but for me, cold stuff made the pain worse, so i stuck to warm things like soup and scrambled eggs. if you've had braces before, its like the pain you went through the first few days when they were put on. its gonna make your whole mouth and/or head sore. i couldnt eat, sleep, or hardly talk for 4 days without it hurting too bad.
you more than likely wont say anything loopy. i didnt, and i dont know anyone who has. when you wake up, you'll just feel really drained, not really high or crazy or anything.
be sure to take your medicine! but DONT take more than it says. i made that mistake and almost overdosed. i was on oxycodone every four hours for 3 days, plus extra strength tylenol or ibuprofen, and one day i took more than i should have because i was hurting soo bad, and it made my heart race and i got really hot and felt really sick. so dont do that!
any more questions, inbox me.
I just got my tounge pierced 2 days ago. I was told that I need to keep the long barbell that they put in for a month, and I will then be able to replace it with a shorter barbell. However, I've tried to see if I am able to unscrew the barbell ball on my own but I've been unsuccessful in doing that. My friend told me that in time it will loosen so that I will be able to, but I am not sure. In a month, will I be able to take it out on my own or will I have to go back to the place for them to remove it for me? Should I got back to the place now and tell them of my difficulties?
Thanks in advance for the help..
Some places pierce with barbells that require a tool to be unscrewed, meaning you have to go back to get it changed. you may have one of those. but if they didnt tell you you had to come back, then you probably dont have that.
also, tongue rings are obviously gonna be slick because it's in your mouth. if you dont go back to the place, try to find some latex gloves. they let you get a grip on the ball rather than your fingers and usually the ball will then twist right off.
well i remember when i was like maybe 6 or 7 (im 14 now) there was this movie on the disney channel that was like my FAVORTE movie. it was about two sisters and one was really pretty and tall and popualar and she got all the guys. and then the other was short-ish, not popualar, and i dont think she had a bf or anything. well then the unpopular one makes a wish on a shooting star that she and her sister would switch bodies. really thats all i can remember. it used to be my FAVORITE movie of all time (i used to watch it over and over again) and now its been bugging me for a while because i cant even remember the name!! help would be very much appreciated!! thank you!
haha i used to love that movie!
im pretty sure it's called "Wish Upon a Star".. i wish it still came on ha =/
So there's this boy that I've known for basically my whole life, and just recently I've really started to like him. We talked in homeroom and stuff but obviously just as friends. I'm also extremely shy, so I never say anything to guys that I like, mostly because I've been shot down alot. Plus, I don't wanna ruin our 'friendship'. I mean, we aren't like good friends, but we've known each other awhile and talk occasionaly.. I just said that haha. well, I just wouldn't want it to be awkward or anything if he doesn't like me. He hasn't had a girlfriend and I've never had a boyfriend. It's really stupid and I'm not sure what I should do. But I'm really starting to fall for him.. I just don't wanna get hurt. Help?
you have to decide how worth it it is. if you really like him, go for it! if he's not like one of your really good friends or anything, chances are it wont end up that awkward. try being better friends with him first and get closer to him. see where that takes you, he could end up falling for you and ask YOU out. but you cant be scared to ruin the friendship. if i had done that with the past 2 guys i've fallen for, two WONDERFUL relationships would have never happened. yeah, yall may not be fine n dandy immediately, but that doesnt mean the friendship is ruined. my ex and i went out for a year and a half, and when we broke up, didnt talk for about 5 months, but now, we're perfectly fine and still really good friends. but you have to decide, do you think it's really not worth the risk? get closer to him, flirt with him. if something happens and yall go out and then break up, the most important thing is dont try to force the friendship. he'll need space, and you will too, eventually though, things could end up normal again =] good luck girl !

I'm a big girl. I'm not fat and I'm not chubby. But I'm just big. I'm not structured like those typical bikini babes..who fit into a size negative five through 0 in abercrombie and whose leg is the size of one of my arms. I have a big bone structure. And it makes me feel really really bad. Sometimes I feel okay with myself..sometimes I don't. When you look at me from the back...I look proportional and all. I'm proportionally fine. In fact, I have curves and I'm physically active. I dance, I go to the gym regularly. I eat healthy. But I find myself wanting to be smaller. But I know I'll never be that thin. Or maybe I will...but it's just so hard to believe. Well..most of my friends..or people I know...are really really thin. And it looks so pretty :( It makes me feel bad. The beginning of my teenage life has been ruined with self esteem issues (as I used to be chubby). Standing next to one of those typical teenage Abercrombie girls, I look like twice bigger..I look like an adult. People tell me it looks mature and unique, but I dunno. I'm not taller...just bigger, like I said a million times..(sorry). I also have severe acne issues which appeared just two months ago. They're being treated with Accutane. Yet, I still feel bad that I have to withstand this. I've been told I'm a really good-looking girl. Yet, I lock myself in my room sometimes and cry. Because I want to be thin. And because I want the acne to go away quickly. I feel like while I'm experiencing all this, all my skinny and beautiful and clear-skinned friends are having a blast. Because they're gorgeous. They have boyfriends, the perfect bodies. Skin.
I don't know. What can I do to make myself feel better about my size? :((( This is ruining me.
i'm not sure how much this will help, but hopefully i can give you a little bit of perspective. it truly is a matter of self-esteem, and not actually how you look. being thin does not equal good self esteem. just as an example, my best friend and i are, i guess, what you would call "thin", but we both have self esteem issues. i'm 5'7 and weigh 125, she is 5'9 and weighs less than me. she can physically eat everything under the sun, which she just about does haha, and still can't gain weight, because that is just how she's built, and she HATES it so much and is extremely self-conscious. it's really how you carry yourself. another of my best friends is heavier yet she is gorgeous and almost everyone loves her, because shes a bubbly, out there, love-life kinda person. you just have to remind yourself that everyone has something they HATE about themselves, whether everyone else can see it or not. be happy that you have curves, i know so many girls who would KILL for that, and the fact that you eat healthy, you will seriously have a longer life span than i will, health wise. trust me a size 0 is honestly not that attractive. the guys i have been with have all said they dont want itty bitty girls, they dont want to give hugs and feel strictly bone. and i've heard accutane works wonders. give that some time, and see what happens. i know it's hard though, soo many people are stuck on image, and it makes our society SUCK. you could always play up your image. get a haircut, try some new make up. there's a million ways to make yourself feel better about your looks. just dont dwell on being "thin"; it's seriously not what it's cracked up to be.
okay so i hang out with alot of my friends and whenver i go out with them and we meet guys the guys always like one of them, but its never me. i get alot of compliments from people saying im pretty and i honestly think im pretty, not drop dead gorgeous, but pretty. why isn't anyone interested in me? its just so boring because i wanna be the "hard to get" one but my friends are all over the guys and flirty and stuff, thats not how i am but i still want guys to be interested in me , what do do? :(
the thing about playin hard to get is it's a complicated game. guys like attention. apparently your friends give that to them. honestly, this happens to me. if my best friend and i are out and run into guys, there's basically no hope for me bc shes gorgeous AND very out there and flirty. however if i get a guys number and start talkin to a guy via text or myspace or whatever, they tend to start liking me pretty quick [that sounds cocky - not trying to be] and then it's my game from there. the point is, you have to get them interested first. you cant just be "hard to get" right off the bat or they'll see you as not interested. flirt some! be friendly, smile, laugh with them, get their numbers, or suggest yall meet up and hang out. take the initiative. yes guys like a chase, but you have to give them some attention first. dont just put yourself out there and be all over them like a whore, but get their attention, and then be "hard to get" after you've got em hooked =] if you've got a good personality, they WILL be interested in you too. good luck girl !
ok, so i know im not the only one, but i cant seem to bring myself to walk out of my house without eyeliner on. thing is, i wish/want to go without makeup since i am young (16) and i know i look good without it except for some pimples but i am working on clearing up my face completely, anyway thats besides the point. my question is how do you look amazing without makeup because i see girls doing it and i want to too! its healthier for skin and keeps you younger longer. also I tried not wearing any eyeliner once before and everyone commented on how tired i looked! so i need tips on looking good without makeup...thanks!!! =)
i agree with the mineral makeup. bare minerals is kinda pricey, but alot of my friends use it and love it, and you can't tell they're wearing anything, yet their skin looks flawless. also, if you have a thing about eye make up. skip the eyeliner and just put on a thick coat of mascara on the top [and the bottom if you'd like]. it'll open your eyes up and the black will still bring out the color in your eyes to make them look more lively and less "tired."

I'm trying to understand how my boyfriend is thinking, and even though you guys aren't him, let's just say this was you. There are a couple of things he's done in the past years and I want to know what his motives were. I've tried asking him, but like most guys, he's not the type to express how he truly feels in words to me, which makes it so much harder to understand him.
1. My boyfriend's ex tried calling him again when he and I first starting going out. They had been broken up for almost a year and I know he had been really hurt by her, but he'd always hate on her when the topic came up. Thing is, he never told me that she had tried to contact him. When I questioned him, he said he thought it wasn't a big deal, but I knew for him, it was. He wanted her back for so long, let it go when he met me, but why wouldn't he tell me?
2. His friend told him how his ex was turning into a wild party girl, did some crazy stuff at parties and did all these drugs. He got upset and said how he wanted to tell her mom. Then he wrote her an email behind my back all concerned, but she retaliated back with a "you don't even know me" attitude. I found these emails in an account he knew I didn't know about (but I found it lol). And then he didn't tell me until like a year later that she apologized to him about that email.
My question is, why does he even care? he always claimed how he hates her, so why does he give a crap? He said that it's sad to see someone become that kind of person, but what the hell? He acts like he wants to go in there and save her life.
3. I had cheated on my bf before. he found out, things got bad, but we got back together. Little did I know, he was talking to another girl behind my back. This was his way of getting back at me, but he claims that he never liked her. This girl was always chasing him, then after he found out what I did, he let her in. He never told me about this until about ONE YEAR AFTER they stopped talking. WHYYYYYY WHYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYY. I know what I did was very wrong, but if I never found out about her, then he never would have told me. so how is that getting back if I never would have known?
4. He likes to throw in my face how other girls are always trying to talk to him. I think that's how he retaliates after I say mean things to him. Why the hell would he say stuff like that? He knows that a lot of guys like me and doesn't even let me talk to guys.
What I really want to know is, why does he wait so long to tell me things? I know there are lots of things that guys don't tell their girlfriends and they probably never will. Same with girls too.
I've been told from a guy friend of mine that when a guy breaks up with a girl, even if he hates her, he will always care about her. Is that really true?
And why can't he just say how he really feels?
i dont have answers for everything but i will tell you this much:
1. you say she TRIED to contact him, but did he ever actually talk to her? either way, he probably really didn't think it was a big deal. guys dont read into things as much as we do. if he's going out with you, and loves you, he wont care about her, even if he did want her back for so long until he met you. you say that he always hated on her even though he was really hurt by her... if so, THAT'S most like why he hates on her, bc she hurt him. also, he probably didnt mention it because he didnt want to hurt you or make you feel threatened or jealous.
2. he cares because he once loved her. your guy friend is completely right. she was once a part of him, and im sure he doesnt want to see her self-destruct, regardless of whether or not they're still together. i can relate to that, i was with my ex for a year and a half, and he REALLY hurt me too and a part of me HATES him for that, but at the same time he's still one of the people i care about most because he meant so much to me and we were so close.
3. not sure
and 4. that probably is a retaliation. its a way of making you think about what you're saying, bc at any moment he could be gone and have "one of the other girls that tries to talk to him". he sees the guys that like you and talk to you as a threat; therefore, he wants you to see the girls as a threat. however, im sure that part is just out of anger.
have you tried talking to him without getting angry? he could answer these questions better than we can. if he doesnt open, it could be alot of things, or it could just be that like doesnt like to open up. im that way and people tend to think im hiding things.
good luck girl!
Why do you get tired when its dark? Is there a connection?
If you find any good links that describe it, that would be great!! :)
also, there's association, or whats called classical conditioning.
for the most part, people sleep at night when its dark and always have all their life. crawling into bed in a nice dark room every night to go to sleep is basically a habit that you get used to doing. you associate the dark with relaxation and sleeping, which can make you tired.
me and my boyfriend have been going out for a year almost. he will be turning 16 in less then a month and i have no idea what to get him, for my birthday he went over the top. i have 400 dollars so price doesnt matter. hes not into sports, he likes video games but on christmas he said he wouldnt want a game from his girlfriend. i already bought him a chain. i hate gift cards i think that they dont show you care. so basically what can be a big over the top gift to buy for him and to show him that i love him?
what about an mp3 player? everybody loves music.
i bought my ex-bf an ipod nano for christmas and he absolutely loved it.
im thinking about getting Proactiv, but just a question...are the results actually as good as it shows in the commercials??
Thanks:)
no. it works a little, but definitely not like it shows on the commercial. you'd be better off saving money and buying something from clean&clear, neutrogena, etc. it did make my skin smoother, but also drier, in addition to not really helping the acne i had.
my cousin is getting married in a few weeks, and she's looking for suggestions of good, slow, romantic songs that aren't sad. So far we've come up with two hopefuls.. "All I Ask Of You" from Phantom of the Opera (just seems too cheesy...) or "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once". Beyond that we're out of ideas. any suggestions? Gratzi!
This I Swear by John Michael Montgomery or Nick Lachey. im not sure if its two versions or the same song but either one is good.
or Lost in this Moment by Big & Rich. that song is really sweet and is specificly about two people getting married.
I'm the one who asked for advice on my situation with the long distance boyfriend and the boy at school i like. Ok, yeah I said yes to my bf about getting married, too. I wanna take a break, but its not that easy...he's the type that once youre gone you cant come back...and i dont think i can stand to lose him. Its all or nothing with him, but...he doesnt know he's not getting my all...
my boyfriend was the same way; he said he'd never wait on a girl, especially if it was over another guy. until it came to me, apparently. the truth is, if he loves you like he says he does, he'll respect your decision, and chances are if you are honest and eventually come back to him he'll come back to you as well. if he loved you that much why wouldnt he? can you force him to come back? no. but he cant force you to stay. if he puts that burden on you that if you leave, thats it, then thats manipulation and not a healthy aspect of a relationship. if its really meant to be, yall wont end up apart. but how will either of you know until you try it out? think about this, do you think what youre doing is fair to your boyfriend, being with him and liking someone else? its not, and thats exactly what i told my boyfriend, that it wasnt fair to him to be in a relationship i wasnt sure of. you cant stay because youre scared, i did that for too long. if he wants to be a jerk and refuses to get back with you if you break up with him, is that really the kind of insecure guy you want to spend the rest of your life with, no matter how sweet/wonderful he may seem? if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. like i said, no its not easy, its one of the hardest things in the world, but you have to do what is right for you and put your feelings first.
PS - think of it this way: could you imagine yourself gettin married RIGHT now ? obviously not since you are not 100% committed to him. but thats not a bad thing! staying with him would evidently be going in that direction. soo many people these days jump into marriage before they are ready, either because they automatically think they have "the one" or because they get married early when they have that new relationship spark. and you see how high the divorce rate is now. you KNOW you want to have more experiences, so take your chance. its like they say, when one door closes, another one opens.
