Hi,
I get a LOT of pimples on my chin and it like sucks loads! I never ever pick them or anything but they always scar, no where else on my face, just my chin. Why is this and what can I do to get rid of the scars? I don't wanna buy loads of expensive treatment things. (link)

Go see a dermatologist. He/She will be able to advise you on what to do to treat your acne, and if it's prescription, your insurance should cover it.
Getting the right treatment that works will be better in the end that trying a bunch of different OTC creams or cleansers trying to find one that will work.

Ok I'm 15/f and I had a little peach fuzz..but it was like dark..so starting 7th grade, I shaved it and I liked the results...except for the fact that it grows back a LITTLE thicker and faster...Well the problem is, I'm going on vacation overseas and I need to bring a razor to shave it..except that my parents don't know I do that..I need to shave it or it will grow back gross! Please don't tell me to wax it or buy a kit from a store..and please don't tell me to have a talk with my mom...I don't know what to do!! (link)
|
What are your parents going to do? Search your luggage or something? You should be able to hide your shaving the same way you would at home... it won't be quite as easy, but it should work.
Just shut and lock the bathroom door in your hotel room or wherever you're staying and shave in the sink.
If the problem is that you're sharing suitcases with your parents (I know my parents used to do this when we went on vacation) Just pack a little cosmetic bag with your toothbrush, soap, make-up, etc., and hide your razor on the bottom or in a different pocket. Or in a pair of socks or something.
Don't pack your razor in your carry-on luggage. It won't make it through security. But you should be able to put it in your suitcase if you're checking it.

HELP!
sincerely,
in need of him! (link)

Okay, do you *know* she likes him or do you just *think* she likes him? Because you said both in your question...
Either way, I suggest talking to her before making a move on Max.
How close of friends are you with her? Yes, you could lose this friendship by dating Max, but if you're not that close of friends, it's not as big of a loss. AND, if she's a true friend, and did only date Max for a week, she should be able to let you date him. She'll probably be hurt and disappointed, but hopefully she'll be able to act maturely in the situation and be happy for you.
Whatever you do, do your best to save the friendship, but I don't think you need to turn your back on any possibility of dating Max just because you're friends with his ex.

Ok.. im goin to be a godmother... and... i have no clue what to wear!! its in the middle of may and the baptisim is gonna be in Atlanta Georgia! i am 13 years old.. almost 14.
Thanks! (link)

Church clothes, basically.
Wear a nice skirt or dress. Not something too short or low cut, since this is a church event. Dress pants or capris would be okay too, if you're not a dress person.
Since it's May, your best bet is a spring dress or skirt with pretty pastel flowers. Many stores have this sort of thing right now, so a cute outfit shouldn't be to hard to find.
Wear shoes you can walk and stand in- you'll be standing still at least 5-10 minutes while the ceremony takes place.
Now, I'm assuming this baptism will take place inside a church, but if it's outside or something, you'll want to consider a different outfit- maybe capris and more sturdy shoes, and a light sweater, and an umbrella in case it rains.

Hi everyone, I'm 14/f and I was j/w if it would be bad if I eventually went out with a 19 year old guy. I'm going to be 15 in May. I've been talking to this guy for a year now. He seems really really sweet, but we haven't met yet. I just feel like I'm starting to like him now. We were going to go see a movie one time, but we didn't end up going because it was really late. I decided not to go. He always used to say I'm too young and everything, so he was afraid to meet me, but then all of a sudden that one time he was going to go somewhere with me. He doesn't seem to care about my age all that much now. I'm not sure if he likes me or not, but I'm just saying if we met and everything, would it be wrong for me to be going out with a 19 year old? In my opinion, it's not that bad. I know we could both get in trouble, but he's really sweet. I've talked to a lot of people that I don't know on the internet, and he doesn't seem like one of those guys that only cares about sex. He never tries to talk about it with me like other gross guys do. I was also wondering how I could maybe hint to him when I'm talking to him on the internet again that I like him. I'll probably be talking to him tomorrow night. If we ever met also, what are some suggestions as to where we could meet and hang out since it'll be the first time. If anyone can, please answer! I just want a few suggestions. I'm soo very sorry that this question is so long. And I also know that you'll probably tell me it's a big age difference, but age shouldn't matter if you really like someone right? You could always keep the relationship a secret, and not do anything illegal with that person until your old enough and you know you won't get in trouble. If your nice when you answer, and you give good advice I'll rate you a 5!!!! Thank you so much again, and sorry about the length. :-) (link)

A person can be whoever they want online... that's the beauty and the danger. So if you do choose to meet this older guy, go about it with caution.
Make sure your parents know about it, and are okay with it. Bring a friend or a trusted adult along when you go to meet him, and meet in a public place. Leave at the first sign of trouble, or if he makes you feel uncomfortable in any way.
Now just to clarify, it is not illegal for a 14 year old to date a 19 year old, but it is illegal for a 14 year old and a 19 year old to have sex. That's called statuatory rape. So if you do end up dating an older guy, just don't have sex, and you're not breaking the law.

Hey, I recently had sex with this guy I only knew for a week, and I found out the other day that I am pregnant, and he has giveing me some kindof STD but I dont know what because I havent been to the health department about it yet but I plan on going soon, the day befor yesterday I found out I was pregnant, and I'm thinking that I have no other choice then to get an abortion because whatever I may have it could affect the baby and the baby could be born with all sorts of problems, but I am so confused on what I should do, I talked to my ex boyfriends friend today and his friend told me that my ex boyfriend has been giveing people who he has sex with something but I dont know what and I am scared that I am in danger myself and that it could be deadly and I dont want to get my first child that I am ever pregnant with get an abortion because I know thats going to be with me for the rest of my life...my ex boyfriend doesnt know that I am pregnant and any of the other girls he has given something he doesnt care at all and he doesnt use a condom with girls...I am scared though I am only 15 and haveing to make up my mind about what I should do and everything leads to haveing an abortion because I dont want to have my baby suffering...does anyone think I am doing the right thing by haveing an abortion? Thats my question am I doing the right thing?...I know I shouldnt have had sex to begin with and I have heard of STD's but I never thought I would be the one haveing one...I know that I have made mistakes and believe me I am paying for them, but could anyone who has been through this tell me if I am doing the right thing by getting an abortion....Thanks, I'll rate high to any answers that are not being sarcastic..thanks Bye (link)

Go to the doctor. Now. Or a Planned Parenthood clinic or something. You need to talk to an expert, because this isn't something you can handle alone.
Also, you should tell your parents. You'll need their support to go through with whatever you do... whether it's an abortion or giving the baby up for adoption or keeping it... you'll need their emotional support, and perhaps financial/physical support as well.
Best of luck to you in surviving this situation *hugs*

Hi, I'm currently a freshman in my second semester in college and unfortunately I find myself struggling in my Chemistry II course. Right now my current grade is a 66% (a C- or lower grade at the end of the semester is failing). I work my butt off in that class but I find myself not being able to grasp the concepts so well where there are so many equations that come in different forms and it just doesn't make sense to me. My question is whether or not you think I should drop the class and retake it this summer or fall or do you think I should keep trying?
Also, what I'm studying for is Pre-Pharmacy and I was wondering if anyone knew how selective pharmacy schools are in selecting their scholars? How strict are their guidelines?
Thanks! (link)

Have you talked to your professor? Gone in for help? Is there a tutoring center at your school you could try going to? Do you have friends in the class you can study with?
When you've done every possible thing to try and improve your grade and understand the class, and nothing has worked, then yes, dropping the class and retaking it would be a good option.
If you decide to drop the class, make sure you talk to your advisor, or at least check to see how this will affect you. I know that at my school, you have to have at least 12 credits to maintain full-time status for financial aid. Also, some insurance companies won't ensure students under their parent's insurance if they're not full-time students.
So think about that before just dropping... one low grade shouldn't kill your chance at graduate schoool.

One of my best friends just told me that she liked me today. She asked me if i had any feelings about it and i said not yet. The problem is that i don't really know if i like her as more than a friend. I used to like her like about a month ago, but i stopped. This may not make any sense but i want to like her as more than a friend because she is one of the nicest people i know, but i just don't think i see her that way. Is that possible? I don't want to hurt her and tell her that i'm not interested but i don't want to go out with her either. What should i do? (link)
|
Be honest.
You'll end up hurting her more if you go out with her even though you don't really like her that way.
So tell her how you feel... gently. Yes, it'll probably hurt her to hear it (that's why they call it a crush) and yes, it may make the friendship awkward for a while, but this way really is your best bet for saving your friendship and your best friend's heart.

Oh Em Gee!! If you don't want your question deleted, then don't be such a fuckin' idiot! Use proper English, not this sticky-caps chatspeak, and what's with all the lines?!
I really should have just rejected this. But it's hard to say no to such a pathetic soul.
Masturbation is about self pleasure... experiment until it feels good.
Yes, there are verses in the Bible that talk about masturbation as a bad thing, according to the interpretation of fundamentalist Christians. But there are many different intepretations of all parts of the Bible... it just depends on what you choose to put faith in. The bottom line is that God loves all people, and he sent Jesus to die for all our sins... including masturbation.
Next time please use proper English. I'm sorry I was harsh, but remember that there IS a difference between expressing yourself and just being obnoxious.

OK i like this guy and he is really cool and funny and all we ca even say ilove you to each other and its ok.. He is in 7th grade and i'm in 8th but we are really good friends like we go to the movies and he calls me all the time and talk about nothing for 2 hours or more.Once he told me that he liked me and i said i liked him too but he hasn't done anything like ask me out. I like him and i want to ask him out but at the same time i just want to be friends and not ruin our friendship. But heres the thing he is the weirdest, most geekest guy in 7th grade everybodys told me but he is my friend and i can't just turn my back on him like that and people think he is gay too. HELP what should i do. (link)
|
Stop caring what other people think, for starters... even if other people call him gay or a geek or a purple 2-headed monster... that doesn't need to affect your opinion of him!
So he's a cool guy and you're good friends with him, and he's told you he likes you and you said you like him back... but he hasn't made the next move...
Perhaps you need to grab the bull by the horns (figuratively of course) and make a move! Ask him out, or you could just kiss him, too.
Or do nothing for now, and continue being friends... and if he ever gets up the guts to ask you out, then you can deal with the decision as to whether you want to date this guy.

Ok I just found out that the camp that I will be attending for 2 weeks over the summer won't let you have ANY electronic equipment. That includes hair dryers/ hair straightners. I have very frizzy, poofy, thick, wavy/ curly hair, and the ONLY way to make it look respectable and decent is to straighten it. I look extremely terrible without doing this, like it is almost so bad that you cannot imagine.
My question is if anybody knows any products to put on your hair to STRAIGHTEN it. I have tried this straightening shampoo, but it didn't work. Does anyone know something that will actually straighten it (NOT just relax it)? I know about the frizz ease stuff, but that doesn't straighten.
I rate 5's bi the way! (link)
|
You're going to be at camp... part of the fun of camp is not having to worry about what you look like! You'll have this natural glow from all the fresh air and exercise, plus all the fun you'll be having will make you smile.
So try not to freak out so much about not being able to bring your straightening iron.
I too deal with the loveliness (sarcasm here) that is curly/frizzy/thick hair. So I understand that it sucks.
Ponytails are your friend. French braids are even better. Also, try wearing a cute hat or bandanna. Hats are great- they keep the sun off your face, as well as hiding your hair.
I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but it's the best advice I can give for your situation. I don't think there's any miracle hair products out there, sorry to say.

okay sorry guys heres a little background information before the question, i am 16 and my b/f is 17. i drive, and i live in TEXAS... things we normally do are watch movies, eat out, and even go to church together. we have been together for a year and a half and i just want to shake things up a bit.. now heres the question:
i was just wondering some good ideas for my aniversary with my longtime boyfriend coming up...i was wondering if anyone had some ideas for a romantic evening, something that we don't normally do. thanks (link)
|
-Pack a picnic and go to a local park. Spread out a blanket and feed each other strawberries (or whatever food you choose)
-Send him on a scavenger hunt all over town (they did this in a One Tree Hill episode once) with YOU as the prize at the end
-It might be too expensive, but you could look into doing a Day Spa thing... massage, facial, etc. (Or do the spa thing at home! yay massages!)
That's all I can think of for ideas right now... have fun!

i'm a senior in high school and i'm going to college next year. i'm a little confused on the whole hour consept, can somebody explain it to me? when they say that a class is three hours, does that mean three hours a day, three hours a week or what? and if you're taking 15 hours a semester, does that mean that you have 15 hours of class every week? i don't get it.
oh, and plese no "i dunno, i have never gone to college, but i think..." answers. (link)
|
For every "hour" you spend in class, you're expected to spend 2 hours outside of class studying and/or doing homework.
So if you've got a 15 hour creditload, it's really a 45 hour work week.
At least, that's the typical explanation I've heard.
I have had 3 "hour" classes that I only spend 2 hours a week in class, and don't need to study 6 hours for, so it's not a totally accurate definition... but that's what the colleges tell you the "hours" mean.

hey im doing this concert thing at school as like a treat for everyon for raising over 10000 dollars from the fundraiser.. does anyone know any good duets for boyfriends and girlfriends?? ((im doing 2 duets with my boyfriend))
(link)
|
- The Prayer (I don't remember who it's by, but I know Celine Dion did it once... and it was used in the animated movie Quest for Camelot- it's absolutely beautiful... very classic sounding, latin and stuff)
Check out Broadway stuff... lots of musicals have awesome duets... like "Anything You Can Do I Can do Better" from Annie Get Your Gun or "A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Mis.

I want to dump my boyfriend...and yes I have my reasons. He asked me if I would go to the movies with him this Friday. And I said I would, but since then I have decided I want to dump him. I don't know what to do now though. Because I went with him to the movies last week and he thought I got mad at him there. But I didn't. His friend told me that my boyfriend was shy last week and he wanted to give me a kiss and everything but he was to shy. And he was going to this Friday. I need advice on what to do, because there is another guy that I want to go out with, when me and my boyfriend break up. I'm not sure if I want to dump my boyfriend before or after the movies. What do you think?
(link)
|
Think about it this way... it's a date, right? And movie tickets cost, depending on the area, $5-10... so if you go to the movies with him, and let him pay for you, that's him wasting $ on a girl who's about to break his heart.
So yes, break up with him before the movies.
Also, you may want to consider his feelings before dating this other guy right away. I know you have your reasons for dumping him, but remember that he does have feelings too. So wait a little while between relationships.

What's the best way to ask your parents if you can go out on a date- I'm not talking about "boyfriends" that you have in like 7th grade, I mean HS bfs .. and how to tell your parents that you have a bf without feeling-weird and uncomfortable! Thanks (link)
| |
I guess I think the best way to avoid awkwardness when telling your parents about your new boyfriend is to keep them up to date on some of the basic information about your social life all the time. I'm not saying to tell your parents everything you'd tell your friends, but it's good to say something like "So *Sarah and I were partners in Science today, and *Joe told this really funny joke at lunch" at the dinner table every once in a while. If your parents are aware that you're a teenager, with a teenager's social life, it won't come as a shock to them that you're also a teenager with a dating life.

thongs are like really in and i was wondering if anyone who has used one can give my pros and cons of wearing them since at this rate i'll never where one myself (link)
|
My mom doesn't think I should wear thong undies either (though now I'm 18, I could if I wanted, but I still haven't bought one yet) She has the impression that they're so uncomfortable.
But I do know girls that thongs are all they wear, and they think thongs are more comfy than regular undies.
And I guess I hadn't heard that thongs are "in," and I don't really understand why it matters... since the majority of people you see do NOT see your underwear.
So wearing thongs for the reason that your pantylines would show (like when wearing dress pants or tight fitting pants or some skirts) makes sense. But wearing a thong just because the magazines say you should- that doesn't seem like a good reason to me.
So one pro is no pantyline, and another is that they're cute to buy
Cons:
-"slut" stereotype
-can't wear pads when you've got your period... and if you leaked, it could go on your pants, not your undies
I did't mention the comfort factor in my short list of pros/cons, since like I already said, I've heard various opinions on that one. Some girls I know only wear thongs with dress pants to avoid the pantyline, others wear them almost all the time... I guess it really depends.

Sporkster here, and I've got a question for you lovely people here on Advicenators:
I've got this "friend" of mine who's been rather...hard to get along with lately. You know who you are, "friend." Anyway, in Study Hall one day she just errupted like Mt. Vesuvius. I mean, over something so petty she just blew it. My boyfriend had moved to another table to take a quiz and she came over to sit with me. There's this stupid rule my SH teacher came up with stating that only two people can sit at one table until ten minutes prior to the bell rings. My boyfriend finished and came back over, and right before I was going to tell him to wait a minute so I could finish talking to her she just..."*slams book together, packs up bookbag, moves* Fine, I see who's more important, I'll just move! *mutters incoherently*" I just was...shocked. She didn't even give me a chance to tell him that I needed to finish talking to her. Anyway, she's been really sore over this for the past week or two. I mean, she doesn't sit with my boyfriend, me, and our friend anymore. She never talks directly to me, however, she has this obsession with talking ABOUT me. She's lied about my boyfriend and me, giving people the impression that I'm some sort of slut. This is really starting to annoy me. Not the fact that she's talking about me, but that she's lying about me. I really do wish she wouldn't be so sensitive and...paranoid. Our friendship has been an ongoing battle ever since my boyfriend and I have been going out. I don't really want our best-friend friendship back, I just want to come to terms with her and "agree to disagree", if you will. But she won't even compromise with that! I've tried everything you could possibly think of and then some, but she doesn't want to listen to a word I say to her. Can anyone offer some sort of ideas for getting her to just listen to me for five minutes to sort things out? Any input would be appreciated, though I am looking for good, well thought-out, helpful answers. Thank you in advance for every good answer. (link)
|
If it's hard to get her to listen to you at school, maybe you need to call her up on the phone to talk.
It sounds like she's a little jealous of the time you're spending with your boyfriend. Or perhaps she's jealous that you have a boyfriend. Or maybe you've been leaving her out and/or ignoring her without even realizing it, and she's hurt by that. (just possibilities I'm throwing out there...)
I guess the only other thing I have to say is don't be too quick to give up on this friendship. If you guys were best friends, it's pretty drastic to want to drop her as a friend completely, though I understand that you may not be as likely to want to turn to her all the time with how you say she's been acting.
One idea... do something outside of school with her- have a girl's day some weekend- watch chick flicks, or go shopping, or paint each other's nails- something you wouldn't do with your boyfriend, so he won't feel left out, but something to rekindle some of your friendship and give you both a chance to talk through your problems.

My boyfriend and I have been together for two and half years, and we are both eighteen. We are both very different from one another. I'm asian, I grew up with strict parents, I don't party much, or go out much. I like to do things around the house to keep me busy, like reading and writing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not boring and I know how to have fun, and I'm allowed to do anything that I want. Whenever I do go out, I'm pretty much the life of the party. Him, on the other hand, he is black, his parents were never really strict on him growing up.. he parties a lot and likes to go out all the time. He gets mad, or annoyed at me because I'm not the type to party and go all out. I get mad and annoyed at him when he parties too much. We both love each other, but it seems like that is what we mostly argue about nowadays. I'm not going to change my ways to satisfy him, and he isn't going to either. We talk about it, but even still, nothings going to change. How can I go about if an argument starts again? It just annoys me when he says to me that I don't know how to have fun, or that I'm boring. We both just have different definitions on the word fun. Any advice will be nice. Thanks.

Neither of you should have to change who you are to please the other.
However, subtle compromises might be necessary to make your relationship work.
At least, even if no change is made regarding behavior, you both need to accept the other for who he/she is. A big part of love is acceptance- taking the good with the bad.
Now, I know that sounds really preachy... and I'm sorry. But I do mean it all sincerely.
Perhaps if you find you're arguing more than having fun together, it's a sign that the relationship is fading. Not all relationships will last forever- I know you said you're in love, but sometimes there are bigger things.
I guess if I were you, I'd let him go party on his own when I didn't feel like going out. I'd try to explain to him and ask him to accept that I need my "me" time, my quiet time at home.

My mom doesn't want me to get braces because she thinks my teeth are fine. But I think I do need them because there are like 3 teeth that aren't straight. Well we had a huge argument over this and now she's mad at me. But anyhow, I got my seperators today and they are really annoying. Do they hurt the day after? And when I get my braces will they hurt? Also, what should I do about my mom-situation?? She's not talking to me and she's very pissed that I am getting braces. (link)
|
Have you thought about this: Braces are EXPENSIVE! They cost a lot of money!
This may be part of the reasoning as to why your mom doesn't think you need to get braces.
But, since you're getting them...
YES, braces DO hurt. Since it won't be your whole mouth, you'll probably be better off than most people, but it'll still be sore.
I found that spacers weren't too bad- just a day or so of soreness, then I didn't feel anything.
But braces- ooh! The 2nd day was the worst- lots of pain (though nothing compared to getting wisdom teeth pulled- that was pain!!) I was sore for close to a week when I first got my braces on.
And each month when I'd have them adjusted- especially the months when they'd tighten them, it'd hurt for a day or so- not too bad, but a little sore.
