I got my ears pierced at Claires 8 weeks ago. My left ear lobe started hurting and bleeding a teeny bit and shedding skin from the back when i changed into my second pair of sensitive earrings. What's wrong with my ear?? Is it infected?? It's a teeny bit red withthat white thingy and when you squeeze it it hurts a teeny bit. What should I do? I RATE 5'S (link)
|
did you clean them with alcohol? it may be infected. i would wait a couple days and if it get bad see a doctor. or just tell you mom/dad/sister and see what they think? my ears have been infected before but it ended up fine. i would say dont worry too much.
hope your ear gets better! (lol that sounds weird..)

theres this guy i like and he likes me too... but i dont think my mom would approve of him because he smokes. everytime i want to hang out with him i have to lie to my mom, which i feel bad about. i've tried talking to her but she doesnt listen. any ideas? (link)
|
well depending on your age this situation could go a few ways: if you are about 13 i think your mom just doesnt want you to start smoking. does the boy know that your mom doesnt want you to hang out with him? does he want to quit smoking? try to convince your friend to stop smoking and try to be more honest with your mom.
i hope that helps

Hey! Ok, I have to give a speech in 2 weeks about the Great Wall of China. We're studying China and you got a list of things you could make your speech about and I picked the Great Wall. You were allowed to have a partner, but only one of my friends is in my class, and she's friends with another girl, so they're partners. I have to give a speech by myself, and I'm so terrified. I've never liked speeches. It's so hard and I always forget what I'm supposed to say, even if I've rehearsed it a thousand times! And to make things worse, it has to be a MINIMUM of 5 minutes. I'm so scared and don't know what to do. Does anyone have any tips on not being scared? And any good ways to memorize a good speech? And also, any good sites about the Great Wall would be appreciated. Thanks so much! (link)
|
my answer is pretty basic: first take a deep breath. if you allowed to, use index cards but dont rely on them. look at the people you like or are most familiar with. if you can make your speech a little entertaining. speak clearly and slowly. if you have trouble looking driectly at people look at the wall.

I recently was told by a doctor I have an eating disorder. I'm 5'7", and weight 105 lbs. She said I am still growing and should weigh about 125. I haven't had my period for like 7 months!! I told my doctor that too. But, the thing is, I didn't start losing weight until November. My mom's gonna take me to a nutritionist soon to tell me how I should be eating. But I'm scared I messed up my body & will never get my period back, or that I caused my breasts to never grow again. Could I have caused those 2 things? PLEASE be HONEST! Thanks (link)
|
okay this is semi akward cause i think i know who this is but heres what i THINK happens:
i am almost certain your period comes back.
and i am pretty sure your breast will grow.
just try to eat right. and in a HEALTHY way not the way i saw some of the morons put it.

My dog just ate 4 or 5 thin mint girl scout cookies. In case you don't know what those are, they're cookies with a lot of chocolate. He already finished them by the time I tried to get them away from him. I know that chocolate is very bad for dogs, and I'm really scared. I'm home alone so I can't go to the vet right now, and my mom won't be home until later tonight. Do you think he'll be okay? Is there anything I can do? Please help! I rate 5's!!! (link)
| |
call the local vet....if you dont know their number look in the telephone book....or if you cant can you call your mom? or get a neighbor or close by friend?

Okay so I went to this party last night and this guy that was there was like "why the hell are YOU here?" because I'm straight edge and I don't do drugs and stuff.. And he kept insulting me and saying crap and it really pissed me off because we have mutual friends and he thinks I'm a "loser" because I don't do drugs and drink and have sex and stuff.. So what should I do to keep myself from kicking his ass? because he's really really starting to piss me off.. And I'm going to have to deal with him for a really long time.. So yeah.. Sorry if this is long. (link)
|
okay my answer is pretty basic: YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING AND THIS KID IS A LOSER. when he gets cancer/charged with drunk driving/an HIV he will be kicking HIMSELF in the ass. i mean think about this kid when he is 50? how cool will he feel then?
straight edge all the way lol!
im not sure if that really helped but i hope it was encouraging?

i have been going out with my boyfriend for alomst a month. I'm 15 and were really close. We always makeout and cuddle a lot. Do you think it would be too early to go down his pants? (link)
| |
i think its to early. a month isn't a long time at all. if you really like him and he really likes you cant it wait?

On Friday, I had asked (in an msn message) my friend Christine if she and my friend Jenn were going to a concert that night, because I wanted to go with them. She replied with a big long msn message (summarized) saying she and Jenn are better friends with each other than with me, they just wanted to hang out with each other this weekend. Also, Christine said she feels like I don't listen when she talks to me and that I don't care, so it's hard to want to be around me. Basically, I've been dumped as a friend. She said she didn't mean to put this all out on msn, and I could call her if I want to talk about it. So my question is, should I call her? What do I say? Is it worth repairing the friendship? Should I bother? (note- I did email her Friday thanking her for being honest with me, instead of just ditching me w/o reason, which they've done before) (link)
|
Okay this sitation all depends on one big thing: how good a friend do YOU think she is?
if she is a good friend call her and ask how you could be a better friend and ask if she would please hang out with you one day so you could just talk or do something fun. it sounds like she was trying to be honest with you which shows she cares about you enough to not lie.
if shes not a good friend you could still call her just to say you will always be there for her but you think you should both go your seperate ways...
i hope that helped =]

ok this is weird for me just to say out of nowhere, but i'm Mexican. ok where do i start? ok, my parents are kind of racist. they are always making fun of my white friend (of course not in front of her face) and think my other friend is weird just because she is black. my other friend is asian and they don't want me to be her friend. actually, my whole school is full of racist kids and they think a lot of the same things as my parents, since about 90% of my school is mExican. anyway, its not just my friends, my parents are totally judging everything i do and say i'm turning into some kind of white girl or something. when i lsten to rap songs, they tell me "dont be listening to those black songs. they use bad language and send the wrong message to people." i get really mad at my parents for being like that, but they tell me its for my own good and they want me to stay mexican. does that make any sense to you? because i don't get it at all. i guess what they mean is that, since i learned english when i was 3, listen to almost all english songs, and almost never speak spanish, they think i'm forgetting my roots, but that is sooo not true!!! it's not like i can just stop being mexican! anyway, they are trying to get me to be "more mexican" by pushing away eveything else and being racist. the other day i was listening to the radio and eminem's "mockingbird" came on and my dad got mad and told me that he doesn't want me listening to that crap. i honestly felt like hitting him...but he's my dad.why are my parents so mean and racist and am i really to blame for "not being a real mexican"? (link)

well you can't yell at your parents because they seem pretty stuck in there ways and you probably dont want to get in trouble. i think you are doing the right thing though being friends with all these groups of people. your parents just need to realize that sikin color doesnt make the person. just TRY to ignore what they say or if you have a good relationship with one of your parents tell them why it makes you so mad when they make fun of your friends of a different race....if you cant do that i would say just try living your life the best you can and dont let rasism spoil it.

Hi,
I like this guy that one of my friends are going out with and she really likes him. I don't know what to do .should I be selfless and let her be happy or should I put my self first and take a chance on braking them up and losing a friend? (link)
|
I think you should let your friend be happy. How long have you even liked this boy and how long have you had a friendship with you friends?
Most crushes dont last TOO long so i think you should wait this out and see what happens.

i dunno where to start or how to explain it but me and my mom have a very close relationship, like we tell eachother everything and could talk about anything. well when i was little my dad died and she was with this real jerk that hit her and all this other stuff, she went back to him maybe like 10 times and that was hard for me. then finally she realized that that was enough. but the problem is i think shes actually going through it again. she was with this other guy and they seemed happy together and everything. but he had a problem with everything about my my mom, he even yelled her for her job?! she finally broke it up with him cuz she said she couldnt it anymore. but then last night she had told me she was going over his house and i just kept my mouth shut cuz i like to see my mom happy. but he just has a very bad attitude and he scares me. i just dont want her and me to go through this again. i need some great advice..plz and thank you
(link)

I would tell your mom. you said you talk about anything so thats very good.
i think sometimes things that make people happy isn't what is really best for them..
again i think you should just tell her how you feel and see what she thinks.
