advice

Ali, my freinds and i fight a lot about stupid things! for instance, me and my cuzin(who goes to my school) got into a huge fight about her being selfish and not letting me use her fake nail kit(i kno its totally stupid) how can i try to prevent these fights from happening?
~tired of fighting~

Just walk away. Don't keep arguing over your cousin being selfish. --I'm just using this as an example. But are you being selfish by sort of forcing your cousin to let you use her stuff. Don't you have anything you don't wnat anyone touching/using?

ANYWAYY!
For these fights, stop. Don't keep talking about it. Don't keep dragging it on! Sometimes you need to just step back and look where the persons comming from. Put yourself in their shoes.
Also, if you see a fight starting to break out between your friends or even you, just be like alright, whatever, this is stupid, can we just move on?
CHANGE THE SUBJECT. Get everyones mind off what is bugging everyone.

To be honest, they all look the same just on different girls. THe only thing that is different is that in the third one the girl has her bangs poofed.
I like it. I think it is really cute.
I would print out the pictures, bring them in when you get your hair done and explain what you want differently and what you like in the pictures. Since you can't find a picture of it, you need to discribe it. Maybe find pictures that show what you don't want so it is absolotly clear. Its your day, you have to make sure you get it right!

hey, i'm an actress/singer and my mom siad that if i could find when and where auditions are for a justin beiber video, i can try out because i am a petite and pretty 15 year old girl.. does anybody know any websites or info on this?

1.Singing has nothing to do with you making the video. No girls sing. They are just there.
2.Your agent would send your picture to him and he looks through all the pictures and finds one he thinks is cute.

--I figured this out from watching one of his youtube videos.

What is a sponsor and how do I get one? I design clothes and I emailed Seventeen and my clothes were in their magazine. I just want to know what a sponsor does and once I have one, where do I go from there? Thanks!

The sponser would pay for the expenses of your line. They would pay for everything. And get a profit-money from the actuall clothing aricle. THey only jump on if they know 1000000000% that it is a good deal and that you have potentiel to go somewhere.

IF your clothes were in Seventeen then great!!
Maybe ask them-write a note-to have their sponsors look at your line and your ideas.

After a sponsor you design!

my boyfriend of about a year keeps indirectly pressuring me to have sex with him and it bothers me. and i feel kinda guilty cause hes on the football team and he gets pressured from people and i know that. but i wouldnt do it because of that, but im just really feeling pressured now, even though i never thought i would. but im not ready yet, cause im only a junior in high school, and ive told him that im not ready yet. what should i do?

Don't do it. You should never do it if he is pressuring you. It is ultimitly your dicition. Who cares if he is on the football team. Who cares if people pressure him. If he really cares about you he will be willing to wait.

Think if this is the guy you want to be dating? A guy who pressures you into stuff you don't want to do. Is this fair to you? Do you want to be around this?

I drink Gatorade (the "sports drink") every single day. I like most flavors of the Gatorade so I'm not too picky about that. I know it's suppose to be good (?) for you since it has electrolytes for your body to function better but I don't know much more about it. Well, I guess I also know it helps to keep you hydrated too, right? I don't think it has caffeine in it but I am not entirely certain. I'm not sure if there's anything actually considered to be addictive in it.

Is it possible to be addicted to Gatorade? Are there any negative side-effects associated with drinking too much Gatorade or drinking it too often? I don't want to do any serious damage to my body because I enjoy this drink...but it seems like I can't go a day without it before I start CRAVING the taste again?! It's really freaking me out now...info please?

Gatorade is not good for you. The only reason it is is if you work out. It is full of sugar so that when you work out and your blood sugar goes down, you can drink it and then be good. It also, is really bad for your teeth. It eats the enamal. Gatorade does keep you hydrated, but since it is full of sugar it keeps you being thirsty so you drink more and more and more and more.
You should really try to stop. Its not good for you because of the calroie intake and sugar. There is no caffine in it. Switch to water. Maybe flavored. You need to cool it with the gatorade!!
JUst try to go a week without it. But, when you work out--may motivate you to exercise more,--then you can have one!

Hope I helped!

My boyfriend and I REALLY want to have sex in the shower for our first time. He said his friend told him that if we use some sort of soap (like bar soap or even SHAMPOO) that we won't have to worry about me getting pregnant. That way we won't have to buy condoms or anything too. Sounds great, yeah? :D

My parents are going to be away this saturday for a little while and I thought about asking my boyfriend to come over and we could do it in the shower. ;) I'm kind of nervous about the soap thing though because I don't want to end up being a pregnant teen.

:) Is it true that you can't get pregnant if you use soap as lubrication during sex in the shower?
And, if so, what is the best soap/shampoo to use for lube in the shower? ;) ;) THANKS

FALSE.
You can get pregnant even with a condom! This friend does not know what he is talking about. Also, soap/shampoo would burn. Not a good idea.

My best friend is dating an older guy and has been for almost a year now. I know she is a little older than me so I thought she knew what she was doing but they had SEX and now she's PREGNANT at 19! She didn't even tell me that they actually did IT! Well, he's 35 though and now she's all about marrying him so that he can be the baby's daddy on paper too.

I keep telling her that this is a really bad idea because he's much too older for her. My mom is so shocked and thinks it's disgusting that he took advantage of my friend like that and I agree! I don't think there are any real laws against this (is there?!) so I don't think there is anything we can do except try to talk her out of this mess.

What can I do to help her get away from this creepy older guy? I have to convince her that he is NOT good for her. What 35 year old actually goes out with a 19 year old anyway and then has sex with her?! What is my friend thinking ruining her life like this and actually having this baby and thinking of marrying the man? Please help me help her

I only know a few answers. Not all of them sorry! Like, I always say I would rather tell you I don't know then give you a wrong/bad answer!

ANYWAY:::
I think the age difference is really... weird. It is gross to imagine your friend who could be her dad. The only thing you can do as a consirned friend is talk to her. Get the answers to these questions. What does your freinds mom and dad think abou tthis?
Also, there is no law. It might depend on state but i'm pretty sure its usually 18. ANd if not then its 19 or younger. Either, way she is old enough. ANd if she thinks she is old enough to take care of a kid. And put her life on hold for this guy, who might leave her, then there is nothing you can do.
I know it sucks, but sometimes the people you love need to fall/fail before they realize that they are or are doing something wrong.
All you can do is tlak to her and support her. She is going to need friends threw this.

Hope I helped!

So, I am 15, female. I make clothing. I want to get my clothes out there. Do you think if I create enough clothing items that I can go to Target or Walmart, I can show them my ideas and I can get a clothing line? Or is that completely fabricated? I don't know how this stuff works. How do I go about getting my own clothing line? I want one really bad, I am quite dedicated to making clothes, I love the beauty of how you can make something yours with something as simple as a bow or a little tie somewhere. I knew I wanted to be a designer since I was little. I said to my mom when I was 7 "mommy, I want to be big one day" and she said "hunny, you can be bigger than big. you are so much more than you know" and since there I just exploded with ideas. I want this so bad. Have my own clothing line and maybe open my own boutique when I'm older and out of school, I just love designing. So, how do I go about getting my ideas out there? How do I also, go about getting my own line? Thanks!

That is not how it works.
Don't waste your time going to Walmart of Target. They are chain stores. One that says okay, is not enough to give you your own line.
If I were you, I would write to Macy's or another department store encloused with pictures, scetches, swatches, etc.
Let them have an idea of what you are about and your ideas. Also, I know Macy's has a junior fashion bored that you should look into joining. I'm not sure if that is only in my area or what, but ask/look into it.
You can sell your clothes on Ebay, or just sell to your friends. You could start a little boutique right out of your house!

Good luck!

Every charity could use more.
The American Cancer Society
Heart Disease
SIDS

Just GOogle local cherities in your area. I'm sure you can find one to donate either money, or your time with.
GOod luck!

I think I swallowed a fishbone. I feel a stron prick when I swallow my drink and sometimes out of no where. I swallowed the bone yesterday but while I was eating today I guess maybe it moved or something becasue it is hurting now? What should I do?

I tried eating cooked patato and banana, ive tried feeling for it myself but i am afraid to gag or make things worse???

Try eating bread or nuts.
Things that make you (sorry)poop. To get it out of you. If the pain is still there in a couple of days, call your doctor.
You might just be freaking out, I think you are totally fine, just worry about if the pain is there by wendsday or thursday.

Hope I helped!

Well , me and my boyfriend have been together for almost a year . &+ He says he loves me and stuff, &+ He got a condom . He wants to have sex, and his birthdays coming up... But idk what to do? Im still kinda intimidated by us having sex. Its not like im scared . It's just im nervous to. Idk what to do or how to do it? Help !

Its up to you. Don't have sex with him just because he wants you too. It does not matter if he bought a condom and is ready, if you are not don't do it. Ask anyone, even people on here, that people regreat having sex with the person they did/at the age they did/at the time they did etc. It is a huge decision. Not one to be made by him. I understand that you are not scared. Maybe-if anything-for his birthday flat out tell him I am not having sex but you can still dress up sexy and just have fun and do things with out totally having sex. THIS IS TOTALLY ONLY IF YOU WANT TO. He does not get to chosose when you guys have sex. You both do as a couple. Talk this out with him. If he is going to pressure you into this, he is not the guy for you.

Hope i hleped

I had recently gotten a paper for Barbizon Modeling Agency. I was thinking last night when I got it but I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through with it or not because it can run into a lot of money. However, throughout the day today I was thinking a lot about it. Moises Arias of Hannah Montana took the Barbizon classes, as did Nicole Anderson of JONAS, and Sofia Vacilliavas (spelling?) of Medium and My Sister's Keeper. This was the second time I got this paper and this agency wants me to call to book and audition on Sunday, today is Thursday. I think I could be really good at something like this and if I like it, I can go around and call myself a model and I think that would be a great feeling, I just want to be a part of something bigger than myself to be able to say I am passionate about something other than music, who knows where music could get me in life. So, if anybody took the course at Barbizon can you tell me what the audition is like, what the classes are like, what kinda things you learned and how much money it may run into, matter of factly, if you modeled at all, please tell me the statistics of your agency. Thanks a bunch!

Don't do it. Barbizon is a scam. Those people probably didn't take the class. And if they did they went on because they had actual talent. Google Barbizon scam. You will get a lot of stuff to come up. You will waste your money. It is soo expensice.
Its totally cool if you want to model. I would suggest looking into a real agency around your area. Or in the closest biggest city.
DO NOT GO WITH BARBIZON
You will not learn anything. Its all basics. Not like the beginning like everyone needs to start somewhere. NO. Like basics like this is lipstick, this is your right foot put weight on your right foot. It is a joke and it will not impress future casting directors because it shows you can easily get scammed.

Hope I helped
and i know a lot about modeling/acting so let me know if you need any help!

Hey, I've been wanting to buy lingerie for awhile to surprise my boyfriend...ive worn all the "matching" bra and panties, but i want some REAL lingerie. What do YOU think is the best kind to buy him? I really am clueless on this type of stuff. I looked on victorias secret but its too much. I am 5 foot 2 inches, i weigh around 115 lbs (i'd say that im slender, but not fit. i dont really like my stomach) i have size 34C boobs. I am very pale with brown hair if that helps with colors? thank you!

Go to JCPenny, Macy's, Carson's, etc.
Any big store like that will have a ton of selections. Maybe go to Victoria Secreats to try on and find out wich ones you like, and then go to a cheeper store to actually buy it. You won't get it exactly, but you can get the same type/style. I don't know exactly what style to suggest for you, but I thought I would mention places to buy.

I can help with colors!::
red
black
Dark colors that will make you look paler, but in a sexier way
no white or super lights-will wash you out


Hope I helped

My nose bleeds seeing as my house is dry including
my room too it bleeds often and i was just wondering if there was anything i could do to stop it from bleeding as much as it does and is there a way to make my room less dry?

Thank you(: Also is it bad that it's
bleeding alot? Should i see a doctor?

A humidifier will help with getting moisture into the air. Look into getting one, they are reletivly cheep and you can get them almost anywhere.
See if the humidifier helps and if it doesn't then I would talk to your doctor.
You could, if you don't want to right of the bat spend the money on a humidifier if that may not be the problem, then you could just go streight to having an apointment with your doctor.

Hope I helped!!

What are good sites to video blog on? Safe ones, that have an option of privacy, just for my personal venting?

Thanks.

Youtube if you are okay with the world seeing.
BlogTV if you want an audience to just talk.

If you want to personally vent I would suggest recording and then DELETING!
You don't want to make the mistake of someone else seeing it.
Or just don't record! Write in a diary or talk to yourself in the shower. It sounds weird but it makes you feel a whole lot better.

Hope I helped!!

I'm fourteen he's sixteen. He has mono. I can't kiss him. What am I supposed to do??

Its okay! You will survive. TRUST ME!

Alright, in all seriousness, this will only make your relationship stronger. Can you imagine that kiss when he gets better?! It is going to be great. When he gets better plan a special date. This will help you guys know you like each other.

Hope I helped!

Hi. I'm 15, female. I have been watching the Olympics since they started and it really got me thinking. These people are my age, well 1 or 2 years older, and here I am not motivated just sitting on my couch. I want to go out and do something with my life. I mean, I do things, like sledding when it snows, I make some of my own clothing but I feel like I'm in the house to much. I mean, I read about Shaun White, whom I now love, and he is outside all day everyday, his mom said she barely sees him because he is outside all the time doing something. I want to be like that but I don't know what to do. I can't skateboard, or roller skate, considering it's winter time but what should I do? I want to get motivated, go outside and find something I love so I can finally say "I do __ and that is my passion." So can you guys just name things to help me get motivated and things I can do outside for long periods of time getting active? I want to make my parents proud, I know I have a 1 in 10000 chance of making it to the Olympics but I want to be proud of myself going out and finding something I LOVE to do, something that I come home from school, do my homework and run outside to say I'll be doing for the rest of the night. Please don't give me the "You're only 15, you have a while to find something you love doing." because in reality, I don't. Please help and God Bless.

I totally understand what you are thinking about. You most likely won't make it to the Olympics, but thats okay! Its great that you want to be actice and start finding new things to do!

When it gets warmer:
go biking
LEARN to rollerblade
soccer
running!

WHenever!:
Go ice skating
dance
act
sing
join a play
sew
design clothes
make a website

_____________________

Just a general tip:
Go to your community center and sign up for a class that involves something you have always wanted to do. EX: dancing, acting


This is all that i can think of now, but if you want more, inbox a question to me. But also give more information about what you like to do, It'd help to narrow down the choices and really hit the nail on the head with what you would be good at!!

Hope I helped!
