my nose is always red...i dont do drugs or drink or anything, but at school it looks really wierd and gives me a bad rep, cuz i heard it you drink you get a red nose. my coverup wont stay on long enough to hide it...and my face always feels really warm, then my friends tell me that my nose and cheeks are red, im sure its not because im allergic to my makeup...like i said, i get really hot in my face.
so anyway to fix or hide this??
thanks:)

well you could be naturaly blushing.
cause for me my cheeks and nose are always "blushed". even my friend told me how i like always blush randomly (not in a bad way)
dont worry about it, sometimes you cant hide natural features
also, this way you wont waste any money on blush LOL.
really don't worry about it, you know you arent doing anything wrong and thats all you need.
youre not the only one, happens to a lot of people

for English to have to write a short essay and use satire. I have noooo clue what to write about, everyone has come up with really good ideas and i don't wanna steal any of them, i need help!

did you read the writng by umm john donne (i think) about Irelands problem? cause we read that in english
anyways, umm so satire is the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, right so
im just tossing around some ideas here
heres a prob/situation
-kids dont listen to parents, so write about how if all the parents were gone, the world will be a "better" place there will be no work, no one will wash dishes, no one will collect garbage and everyone will not take baths.
the satire in this be be that with out the parents telling kids what to do, nothing will get done and it will reak havic
sorry if thats dumb but thats all i came up with
the irony of this would be that while kids complain about work without parents we would never get it done and while you would think that we would be better off without parents, we would actaully be worse

whats a really good way to improve in basketball. i made the team and i dont think i'll get much playing time :\ soo i practice alot..what are some things i can do to improve anything in it. thanks

First and for most. you have to be in shape and stay in shape! do allot of running because that will help you get straonger and you won't be as tired during games. Excersizing is the best. You have to get your body ready for th esport before you do anything fancy. Believe me, it helps! Afterwards practice shooting and dribbling. Pay attension to what the coach says and ask him/her how you can perform better and what you are doing wrong. Ask your coach for tips and helpful hints. But i would empasize the running the most!

I'm in high school, 15/f, a freshmen and it seems like everyone in my school besides me drinks and does drugs. I will NEVER drink or do drugs because it ruins your life...but at lunch one day, my friends were all talking about how they went to one of my friends house, let's call her A, and how A's mom was home and they still got away with drinking vodlka and beer and getting crunk together. Only one of my friends had a sip of vodkla and nothing else at the party but all of the sudden I was sooo mad. The day before the party, my friend who only had a sip of vodlka [lets call her F] was like, to A, "yeah, I'll have a drink, and I'll get close to drunk." and A was like, "F! I am sooooo proud of you! You don't know how proud I am of you that you are going to get drunkk!" and I got sooo mad at that I just bursted out and said to A, "Why is that something to be proud of?!" and A was like, "Because F swore off everything remotley related to drinking and drugs, so I am sooo proud of her that she even said that right now." and I was like, "well, I'm not going to drink and I'm not doing drugs." and everyone at the lunch table just looked at me except for my other friend, lets call her S, agreed with me. Then I didn't go to A's party and Monday I heard some pretty bad stories like of the people getting drunk and how they got it all on video...it like made me mad.
I'm mad, and I thought higher of my friends and now they all think I'm a loser, except for F and S, because I don't want to drink and do drugs. What should I do? any comments will be greatly appreciated and thanks ot all of you who read all of that because I know it was confusing and long.

well i will say that im proud of you for saying that! you are really smart when it come to this! all i can say is DON'T GIVE INTO THE PEER PRESSURE! You will see that its not worth it to flush your life down the drain. Well, you do.
Try talking to your friend separately and tell her that getting drunk is not something to be proud of and that you should feel bad for "A". Let them think this. I know its easier said than done but you can't let them convince you.
and if it makes you fell better, I have never had a drink in my life or have done anything like that (16/f). Think of it this way, your parents are proud of having a well mannered kid and they know that they can trust you. YOU GO GIRL!

how long will i see results in my stomach if i run 45min to an hour for 6 days a week.. and how much weight would i lose?

here's the deal
when you excersize and run, you are getting rid of the fat by your organs first. the reason for that is because those areas are effecting your health and the body will funtion better when there isn't fat around the heart and lungs.
when that fat is gone, the body then gets rid of the fat in your legs, stomach, and butt.
most people give up because they dont see results but if they kept on going then they would have.
i can't tell you how long but if you keep it up you will.
good luck and good job so far!

hi well, okay lets see im a muslim girl. and i have a boyfriend....and i just wanna know the opinions of other muslim people out there about dating? sex before marriage? and of these other issues related to the drama teens face these days. also, how do you judge how 'muslim' someone is? please answer - if your muslim. any other comments are also appreciated.

hey, im muslim too. 16/f
you should know what islam says about dating and sex.
because thats what i believe and that is what i will tell you.
look, you cant have a boyfriend and shouldn't even be thinking about sex
don't listen to the other advice because that person isn't muslim and she doesn't know about what islam allows.
of course there are other things that teens have to go through and its not easy.
its really hard to become a really good muslim, but the great thing is that God apprieciates the effort. that's the most amasing thing! I am, and i will admit it, not the best muslim. I mean i wear a scarf and pray, but i sometimes lie and get angry. i am not perfect but i pray to God to make me better and help me become a better muslim! You have to remember that when you ask God to help you (ex. ask for strength) he gives you situations that you have to overcome (in order to get strong). I want you to ask me questions and i will help you. I want to help you become a better muslim!
do you wear a hijab? How often do you pray? Where do you live? how old are you? Do you know a lot of muslim teens? can you tell me more information and i will most definitly answer and help you in any problems you are facing. the only thing is that i need more information.
Go to www.islamcan.com (it has answers to common teen questions and other things)
People have helped me to become a better muslim and i want to help you!

*Remember life is a test and you have to pass!

Okay.

So I just found out 2 of my friends had a sleepover without me and are hiding it from me.

It's fine, because I know they're hiding it from me with good intentions. It hurts a little bit...but I'm pretty sure it's good intentions.

You see, they know my Mum would probably wouldn't let me go, so instead of giving me the pain of knowing they're having fun at a sleepover just pretend it isn't happening.

However I don't know how to react when I hang out with them tomorrow. Do I tell them I know about it? Do I pretend I don't know? I'm really stuck here, help?

The thing that makes it awkward is they both lied about what they were doing. One of them said she was out at dinner, then she said she had people over and couldn't come online.

If you're wondering how I know, let me say: MySpace comments are never secure. Someone will always read something you say to someone which you want to keep a secret.

wow, my mom is sometimes like that, a little protective.
i had the same problem like my friends would ask me to go places and have sleepovers but i usually had to tell them no, then they stopped asking me.
anyways so what i did was,
i talked to my mom and asked them if i could invite them over. this way your friends will get to hang out with you
also tell your mom that it feels weird when your friends ask you and you always say no.
and if you can't go somewhere, plan an event yourself at your house.
and let your friends know that its okay if they have sleepovers and stuff, just tell them not to hide it from you.

so why not have the latest product?

I have pretty full, wavy-ish hair (it pretty much has a mind of its own). If I let it dry naturally, it has a natural wave/poof, but my hair isn't hard to straighten.

I was wondering what shampoo and hair products are good for my hair type (wavy, thick, slightly frizzy). Shampoo for normal hair tends to dry out my hair, while some ultra moisturizing or curl shampoos make my hair get oily.

Anyone who has similar hair- i'd like to hear from you :)

Oh, I do not dye my hair, and occasionally blow dry (not very often though). So my hair is in good shape.

well i have super corkscrw curl hair and it used to be unbelievibly frizzy and a mess
but then i started using conditioner at each wash and made sure i brush my hair well.
also i bought the Sunsilk product for frizzy hair and when my hair gets that way i use it.
but mostly i found conditioner to be totally helpful, i dont know what i would do with out it!

i always read the horoscopes in the back of seventeen & cosmo girl magazine. my friends read their horoscopes too, and these things actually happen to them! but nothing ever happens to me, like it'll say something about love, and guess what nothing happens. are these things acurate? tomorrow is suppose to be a "lucky" day for me, i don't think anything good will happen but there's still a part of me thats telling me you never know what can happen. do you believe in horoscopes?

horoscopes are made for fun
some people actually believe them, but they aren't true
mostly the writers make it vague enough to apply to alot of people at the same time and its mostly a coincedense
you don't need something telling you whats going to happen in your life anyways, its better when its a surprise

Basically, I'm asking what I can do to get in shape. I usually get really bored with just running around the neighborhood, so any other suggestions? Are there any specific excercises I can do too?

In track and field when you use cleats can you use them for long jump? I mean like the sand doesn't bother them ?

sand does not do anything to affect the cleats
they for the most part work well although not very amasing on sand cause its loose and stuff
but it works on some sand, depends

This summer, at the end of July, me and my friends are going on a trip travelling around the Norfolk coast and staying in youth hostels. We need £200 each by that time. It's going to be fairly easy for me as I will have enough by saving my money, but some of my friends are also going to Spain and need money for that as well, so we need ideas of how to raise money, do you know of any?

Thanks, xxx
