for english summer reading i have to read a biography on any modern american figure. one of my friends in doing marilyn monroe. any ideas of people i could do that would be interesting? (link)
you could do it on a celebrity that helps out a lot. shakira, bon jovi, jessica simpson (operation smile), and others who donate and raise awareness. you could also do lance armstrong


Hi, i have pink eye and i was wondering if it's normal to have like crust around your eye and on your eye lashes when you have it? Thanks in advance. ♥ (link)

How do you put two pictures up on one picture slot on myspace? Like have them one on top of the other? Like here http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=22614392&MyToken=7626a98a-9b48-428c-a306-42a7d2c51093

Thanks in advance (link)

My lips are really chapped and I'm using the jar of Carmex with the yellow lid. I've used it a lot and left it on, but everytime it wares off my lips start to peel and I'm tempted to bite them again and get them chapped. Should I leave the peeling skin alone? Any additional advice would be wonderful.

You should continue using Carmex and when it starts to ware off..put more on. When it heals..try using Soft Lips. Its really good and it softens your lips. Also, for lip gloss go to bath and body works..and get this lip gloss..its in like a green tube with a back top.I forget the name of it but if you go there you can ask them and i'm sure they'll know. Its awesome!
Good luck! :)


I have a lot of friends. But I have fights with a lot of them a lot. They don't have a lot of fights with their other friends. I know how to be a friend but still... I am not acting like a good friend and I really need help on that. Also how can I make people like me so I can make more friends? The other thing is how can I determine who is really my true friend and who is not? Please help! (link)
You should try to stop the fighting. I know what its like to get in a lot of flights. What you need to do is be a better friend..when someone seems liek their mad at you ask them if you did something to make them mad..or maybe their just in a bad mood. And if you make them mad when their in a bad mood it goes downhill from there. And a true friend would help you out when you need help or be there for you when your in a bad/ dificult situation. A friend who asks you to hang out and is the first one to say hi to you..and doesn't leave you to just do the asking. Someone who doesn't talk behind your back and has a great time with you always..thats a true friend.
Hope i helped.


Ok so this may seem a little random but me and a friend were talking about this the other day and its made me wonder. How do you know if you're a good kisser? Coz I know when someone else is or isn't, but I don't know how good I am! And if you ask people after you kissed them, unless they're mean, they say yes but how do you honestly know?
Thanks! (link)
I don't really think there is a way to find out. I mean if a person still wants to kiss you afterwords..chances are you are a good kisser cause they came back for more!


i was thinking abouts switching from cingular to verizon. my bf & some of my friends have verizon, so overall i thought it would be a good idea so we can be "in" & have free mins including the regular plan & texting. my cingular plan is 2 years, so it's not over until december. the thing is, my cingular bill has been going up & i really think we should switch to verizon so that it wont be as much. is there anyway to break that contract. if so, what are the outcomes & how long does that take?? if we do break it, can i get a verizon phone from the store as soon as i do that?? i want it so that i always have a phone & there isn't a time where i don't have one.

thanks!! (link)
if you break the contract, you ahve to pay a cancellation fee, which is about 100-200 dollars. i think for cingular it is $125, but i may be wrong. it doesnt take long, and you can go to verizon, and even keep the ssame number


does anybody know any LACROSSE STicCK TRICKS?

*catch it on the other side
*hit it on the handle part, and catch it
*and throw it, make a circle around it, aand catch it
*throw it, put the stick between your legs and catch it

throw it, catch it behind your back. hold it in one hand, throw it up into the air, and hit it on the shaft. those are two that you didnt meantion


i have this really embaressing problem with underarm sweating. i've always had this problem ever since i started puberty and my sweat glands started, for lack of a better word at the moment, working. now, it seems like i start sweating at random times. heat isn't even a factor, somtimes i sweat after i come out of the shower or a few minutes after i wake up, even if i haven't done anything physical. what's happening to me? and how can i get rid of this problem? please don't tell me to buy those expensive sweat reducing chemical things because i can't afford it. thank you (link)
like greeneyedgirl said, i use certain dri as well. it works so well for me. its pretty cheap and you can buy it at pharmacies without a prescription


about how much would a 9 karat diamond cost?? (link)

Tomorrow I'm going to SixFlags with my friend. For weeks she's been talking about the new big roller coaster, and I really wanna ride it with her, but I'm really afraid of heights. Help? (link)
aww man superman is so awesome (is that the one you are talking baout). you juts need to realize that these rollercoasters are the safest things in the worlds pretty much. they are tested, and once you get to the top, you realize your afraidness of heights steps in, but once you go down it, its SO fun :)


Okay , pleasee answer this ASAP considering I am leaving to get these items soon. What color eyeliner makes brown eyes stand out the most? What is the best brand of eyeliner to buy? Also can you prevent the eyeliner from running off to the side of your eye a theirs like a dot there? And if so what is it? Like are their any types of eyeliner that DONT do that? Ohh , and what color eyeliner makes your eyes look bigger? Thank-you. (link)
white eyeliner makes yor eyes look bigger. this works for all eye colors. black eyeliner tends to make brown eyes look darker. blue also works to bring out brown eyes. i use maybeline, because it is good for a good price

I've used it a lot and left it on, but everytime it wares off my lips start to peel and I'm tempted to bite them again and get them chapped. Should I leave the peeling skin alone?

(link)
carmex is good. i use it. if you have dead skin, you should just leave it alone, and continiue to use it


I have a great body for the most part. A lot of people want to have my body i guess you could say. But how do i show it off at school?? WITHOUT wearing like slutty clothes...lol thanx. (link)

I am in cheerleading and we have a competetion in a few months (like 3) Im not sure how to get into shape quickly. Like I weigh 150 lbs and im trying to get down to 140 or 135. I used to weigh 114 and I got sent to a program and I came out 160. Ive lost 10 lbs in a month in 1/2 but it wasnt on purpose! (link)
you should excersize 1-2 hours a day, and you should do sports that burn calories AND excersize muscles. i suggest swimming, biking, and running.


Sorry, this may be a bit long...

I have a non-severe (or I don't think it's severe) case of social anxiety. I'm 13/f and I've always been very shy...I'm not the people type and I don't really like talking and dealing with people too much. I don't like going places by myself and I don't like picking up the phone OR drawing attention to myself. Usually I have some one go with me all the time to places and talk to people for me, and everyone is starting to get annoyed with the fact that I always need them for simple things. My mom recently got me a book about it and I don't like it AT ALL because I don't understand it...so now she wants me to go to a counselor!!!! I DON'T want to go to any shrink whatsoever because I don't think that will help...I've been to a councelor before about something else and I HATED IT because I hate being talked to in that "shrink" way. I'm refusing to go but she says I have to if I want to "overcome this problem I have". I think my problem is I just don't want to embarrass myself in front of other people and I don't like being by myself because I'm terrified of being kidnapped or something like that. Just now my mom tried to talk to me about (I don't like talking about things with her because she's like a counselor and it really annoys me) it but I refused to talk and now I'm really upset because she's mad at me. Should I really go to a counselor? Maybe I should get another book? I want to avoid the counselor at all costs...maybe I should just have an open talk about it with my mom and tell her those real reasons why i'm so anti-social? HELP! (link)
I think you should talk to your mom about the real reasons your scared to be by yourself. Moms can def. help..really. You should also try getting another book..it might help! Now..couselor's aren't bad at all! I mean they are kinda annoying how they always ask you questions..but it helps. You should atleast compromise with your mom..say you'll try like a month with the counselor..if you think it helps then keep going to it. And NO ONE wants to get embarresed infront of people! But chances are your not going to! You can learn to be social by just saying what your really thinking..i mean if you can write it down you can say it..right?
Hope i helped!! Ask me if you have more advice!


okay i went out with this dude for 3 months.
the first month he cheated on me then broke up with me and then asked me back out we went out for 3 more months and when he broke up the reason why we did changed everyday. and my new best friend went out with him. before i did. and he lied to her and told her he was going to wait until she was aloud to date. and then he ran off with me. and then he cheated on me with her. and shes not the kinda person that would do that. but i guess "love" makes you do crazy things i forgave her we both did out share he ran off with me , he cheated on me with her and now. hes comming back to her asking her on dates and shes no going for it cause hes a lier and a cheater everything he said to her when they went out and while cheating on me was a lie and i found out last night okay it went like this. He asked her on the dates, i told her to stay yes to them and then i found out he promises my friend emily on a date! and then...... i go to his myspace ( i have his password) and emilys friend from colorado he was saying how he was thinking about her during soccer conditioning and that he loved her and all this. im like WTF? so me and my friend have our own littel jonh tucker issue. but its only 2 of us. Shes the bait and im the one who knows everything. like i have all the connections i have ALOTTT of friends that know him. and like shes the quite type not very popular and i guess im the popular type and people tell me everything. so do you think its time for him to get his like seriouly? emily and her friend both live in colorado! and its me and clara here. and hes the type that comes back to girls after a while its time for him to be SHUTTTTT DOWN.hes acting soooo deprite and immature and hes playing games with me and my friend clara and he doesnt deserve us at all
he bacially have 4 clara,me,emily,and emilys friend!!!!!!!!!!

do you think this is right!!!!!!/??? (link)
haha i know your mad about it and want to get back at him..but it probably wont work. I know these type of people..he'll laugh it off and it will have no effect on him. You should just catch him in the act of cheating on girls..make a plan so when he's going out with two girls..they will find out. Just help them out. I mean you can try the plan..but chances are he'll still go on cheating on people.
