about

My name is Devin Lindsey or Vinny as my sister calls me! I am 17 years old and go to Bethel Park High school. I loooove swimming along with dancing, singing, and playing softball. I also run varsity track with is alright i supose too.


My favorite colors are orange, pink, and blue. I love to be crazy and have a good time

I've had a job working for 15+ monthes so I can answer alot about that

and I know alot about relationships in general so I can be helpful with that sometimes

especially with parent child relationships


I am a very observant person and tend to know more and care about more than most my age


and I really believe in volunteering to help animals especially at shelters. Usually its not their fault that they have to live their and its usually horrible cercimstances that bring them there and I feel terrible that they can't speak for themselves and people are too caught up in spending like $500 on this cute little pure breed puppy from a breeder just into getting rich instead of giving one of these dogs another chance at life (there are usually a handful of dogs under a year old so the i want a puppy excuse doesn't work with me)

My baby is named Lainey Mae... we got her from a shelter about 2 hours away from us when she was 7 weeks old. she is now 2 years old and the center of our family. unfortunately someone was cruel enough to go down and drug up and shoot (but luckly not kill) most of the dogs plus rob the owner (just like someone did at the shelter where I volunteer) and its now shut down

advice

To start off, I guess I should tell you I'm 15 years old. My mom is VERY religious. She goes to church every chance she gets. She is one of the strongest believers God and the bible that I have ever met. I, on the other hand, am confused about all of this. My beliefs in God, the bible, heaven, hell are slim. I've lost alot of faith. It's my age, I guess.. I'm to the point where I need proof and evidence of everything. I can't believe in something over what a book says. I need evidence from scientists. From what I know, there has been no proff of the Bible Days. So my question is this.. How could I tell my mom that I don't believe and that I don't want to go to church every sunday anymore? I NEED to tell her, this is important. But I KNOW that it would COMPLETELY crush her if she ever knew. How could I break the news to her? PLEASE HELP! I rate 10's just for trying. But please give me good, honest answers.

Thank you.

i have the same fealing as you.. no matter how hard i try without proof i just cant believe

what i would do is first break it to your mom but make a debate but dont tell her you dont want to go to church... dont crush her all at once

just be like how do i know god is true.. if nothing else she can get you to believe or something again.

just whatever you do try to make yourself believe... dont distance yourself from your church and your faith even if you dont believe everything you can still get something out of it and have a sense of family

so, a random question bout sex. i was just wondering, since statistics show that the average teen loses their virginity by the age of 17. well.. is it possible to have sex (when the guy uses a condom) and NOT get pregnant? cuz like, other teens have done it and they havent got pregnant riight? but what im scared of is that my sister had an unplanned pregnancy and she already had a baby. she said she used a condom and i guessed it broke.

questions:
is it common for a condom to break?
can a girl get pregant if a guy uses a condom?

thanks in advance.

there is always a possiblity unless either you are infertile (or he is) or you havent had your first period yet and it wasnt supose to (no way of telling this)

Well, I'm having a celeb-themed party soon where you have to dress up as a celebrity, i'm really looking forward to it, but i need to gets something that looks like a red carpet, wont rip when people walk over it and isn't too expensive. I'm really not sure what I could use though. Does anyone have any ideas?

i would say see if you can find old xmas stuff at a craft store or around the house.. like we have felt that goes under our tree that would work, is very cheap and shouldnt rip. also you can try getting fabrib then like a clear thick cover over top and put glitter on it to make it look fancy? if worse comes to worse spray paint a table cloth

I would like teenagers to answer this one,

My daughter is 13. But the clothes she wears are not...happy. She always is sarcastic. She listens to strange, loud music. Is this the fashion these days? Should I let her be?

yes and no... i would say that is more of the style for either people who are depressed or mainly think they are cool by doing things that arent (like drugs).. as long as you trust her i would say shes okay because she is only 13 and still figuring out who she is.. trust me my sister is going to be 13 next month and going through the same thing.. just watch her behavior and her friends and make sure shes not doing anything she shouldnt because confronting her would just make her more mad. if your worried i would talk to her teachers to make sure everything is okay at school before you take any action... if you need more advice about teenagers just drop on in my box... i swear i can tell you almost anything

I want to get my haircut and colored like nicole richie. But I had medium length hair and i dont want it to be as short as hers. Like maybe just a little trim. I just want her layers and bags.
Does anyone know any really good pictures of this I can show to my stylist?
I dont want a drastic change either.
Thanks!

some one suggested this for me and i thought i was a cute idea

Is it possible for someone to stop growing breasts at 13? i started when I was 8, and I'm 32A

its possible but not very likely... it might seem like you have stopped because at first they start gorwing fast but then slow down....

how does someone get raped/kidnapped over myspacve? i dont reallt get it? is it even true?

it is true

what they do is be stupid and act like they are 20 when they are really only 12 or 13 and too young to be on the site and give away their private info to people they dont know because they think they are being cool.

Is it normal to start your period in gr.6? another question. If your start having periods in gr.6 and don't have one till gr.8 is the normal?

yes its totally normal.. most people start anywhere from 5th grade to like 8th grade and dont have problems! and its normal for it not to be regular for the first 3-4 years or so. i mean i got mine in 7th grade and im in 10th grade now and not reg and my doctor said that was fine!

i was just wondering how many times a day should you use proactiv? im not sure if its one or two. and please dont tell me that i should stop using proactiv cause i want to.

at first i would say use it once a day till you know your skin is okay with it but if your not seeing results use it twice... they only reason i say if your not seeing results is because its very expensive and if you can get away with using it once a day i would do that but if not use it twice!

can you get pregnant if sperm is outside the body?? ex. you use a public bathroom & sperm is on the seat, you have sex & sperm is on the area you had sex on, er juss sperm anywhere??

thanks!!

no because sperms dies in less than a min once it hits the air so its highly unlikely

but you can get stds from public restrooms and stuff its happened!

im 16/m. i'm pretty skinny, 155-160 and 5'11-6'0. the past three days ive been feeling sick after every meal. all year long ive been having 2 bagles and apple juice for breakfast. that usually lasts until 6th period, where i have another 40 minutes until lunch time, then im hungry. ive noticed that when i get to lunch, im not hungry. in fact i feel full or that i ate not too long ago. i eat breakfast at 7.40 btw. so i decided to get the foods i usually get, but neither yesterday or today i was able to finish it, and when i tried to i felt sick afterwards for another hour. this happens after dinner too, when usually im starving by dinner time, have eaten less than usual, but feel too full to even finish. is something wrong with me? what should i do? i asked my friend about it and he said it could be just acid buildup in my stomach. if thats the case, is there something i can take for that or no? thanks.

maybe your sick? during this time of year that happens to alot of people. what i would say is eat something other than bagles for breakfast like cereal than have a nother small snack in the middle of the day but not too big so your not full (like eat 4th period) then eat your normal dinner.. just try to eat things that are easier to keep down (like pasta over meat) to keep you from getting sick till you feel better

hey! i am 13 years old/female and i am 65 pounds and 4 feet 6 inches tall. i am really short. i am very small for my age, and i have trouble finding jeans that will fit me. can anyone tell me some stores where jeans might fit a body type like mine? thanks in advance!

i would say try abercrombie kids.. they fit my friend very week who i know is the same weight as you and she is around your height, maybe an inch or two taller at most! also hollister jeans run kinda small and if you can find a size 00 short or 0 short they should fit you perfect. some of their jeans are even small on my sister and shes 100 pounds but shes really tall and shes the skinniest person ive ever seen (literally) i know what you mean when you have trouble finding jeans that fit because i guess everyone here has gone through that sometime or another.. if you can try to get to a jean outlet where they have tons of jeans in tons of sizes so you can look around and try on alot!

okay is it true that your boobs can become deformed if youre wearing a bra cup size too small..? cuz mine tend to hurt after a while and i think my bras getting a little small.. cuz im like right between an a and b.. and its really difficult to find a nice bra.

it would take years and you would never be able to take it off so i doubt its happening to you.

get a playtex one! they make inbetween sizes like almost B. or change your band size for a better fit!
