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

Does anyone know any really good myths? or any websites that have myths? i rate high. =]

well TLC (the learning channel) has a show on called urban ledgends. if you check out there web site (i believe the same as the discovery channels) it should list some on there

my dog is a maltese and turning 2 years old [ i guess 14 in dog years ] and lately has been barking a lot at night. he used to when he first got here but stopped. about a week ago he started to bark after everyone goes to sleep. so i have to keep going down stairs and wake up and either hit his cage or take him out to the garage for him to run around and come in...but he keeps barking a few minutes after i go up. what should i do? should i try to tire him out by running with him or something right before we go to sleep? or will that have an opposite effect and have him wanting to play more? please i'm desperate - i havn't been able to sleep at all because i'm the only one who is willing to go downstairs. thanks in advance.

my dog does that... we got a bark shock coller. it basically shocks her when she barks... it works well for us and our dog is like twice the size of yours. also make sure she doesnt sleep in the day if you can help it. dogs are like people they need so many hours of sleep and she will sleep better at night if she doesnt rest in the day. also make sure he (sorry ive been calling her a she) went to the bathroom before hand and ate. if he did all that he prob. just wants attention. make sure hes getting played with and all. if youve done that take him to the vet.. then can either getting him like sleeping pills or maybe he is hurt and thats his way of telling you

What exatcly is add? and whats the difference between add and ADHD. My friend has add, and i thought adhd was when you were a little hyper. and when shes hyper but shes claims she has add?

well add is attention deficate disorder and hdhs is attention deficate hyperactive disorder..

they are basically the same. although your hyperness doesnt always have to do with which one you have. if she would have adhd she would be way more than just a little hyper

I just started dating this guy a little while ago, and I like him, but it's so hard to talk to him. He's really sweet and I really do like him, but we can't ever have a conversation without awkward silences. Should I continue to go out with him and hope things get better, or should I just break up with him? Thanks.

i think it would depend on his age. if you guys are still in your teens give him some time.. guys arent really used to that kind of thing and if you guys are older i would say break up with him.. if he cant talk now chances are he wont change

So I am a twenty-one year old female and I've suffered from panic attacks since I was a pre-teen but have managed to get them pretty much completely under control with therapy and medication.

My problem is lately I get these really weird little attacks that last only 5 – 7 seconds. I've always been told that real panic attacks last much longer but these feel just like the big ones, I stop breathing, I felt hot and sweaty and everything feels doomed and I'm terrified for no reason, but then it's just over and I only feel a little shaken by it. Has anyone else ever experienced something like this? They are so quick I can't seem to stop them, any ideas?

ive had those kind of feelings.. but mainly because i just am uncomfortable im public sometimes. i would try some sort of therapy or something or look for signs of it happened so you can remove yourself from the situation. or if you know certain times it happens (like with me) carry water with you or something to calm yourself

My boyfriend and I live about a half hour apart, not a big deal, but we didn't get to see eachother on Valentine's Day..*tear*...anywho, we will (most likely) be seeing eachother on saturday, either at his house, or the mall. I never got him anything for Valentine's Day, and he said all he wanted was to spend the day with me..but I know he must want something (i said the same thing, and of course i want something, haha!) My question is, what should I get him? i already did build-a-bear, so any other ideas are great! He is 16. Thanks!

maybe make him a scrapbook or a dvd slide show of pictures with a love song in the background? just i wouldnt go too over the top b/c hes young and im thinking you are too so you guys arent really at the age to be like extremely serious. maybe you can plan a movie and dinner night for you 2? or plan a get away day for a day at an amusement park or something in the spring. i think something more simple like that stuff is better than buying him a gold ring or something...guys at that age really dont appriciate that kind of thing

I know everyone is probably getting annoyed with all these fitness questions, but I need help.

If I do the bysical(sp) for 1 hour everday or 3 times a week, watch the calories I eat, & just stop eating sugar foods, will that be good enough to lose weight?? I`m not going to eat any junk food or anything sugar & just stick to juice & water. Do you think this is a good start?

If you guys want to add something more, be my guest. =) Thanks

it sounds good. as long as you increase your exercise atlest once every other week. and dont watch calories.. they really dont mean much to you. studys show that people who watch calories accually gain more weight. but cutting sugary is awesome! thats the best thing you can do really. also try to cut down on fat mainly trans fat!

My son is going through a difficult period. my husband and I split up in july and my son who is 19 and in college met up with a girl who has a boyfriend and is engaged my son is not in school and says hes returning in summer but I'm afraid hes not going back and she is ruining his life she wont leave her borfriend will he go back to school

he will get over her eventually. it seems like one of those things girls go through in highschool... not to sound mean but he just hasnt reached the point yet when that is important and he still is in lust with girls. if i were you i would threaten him.. not to hurt him but make him move out (if he lives at home) and not to help him out or anything until he gets over himself and gets his life ontrack

I want to start babysitting in march. I've done mother's helper, and babysitting courses. I think that families wont take a 12 year old seriously. Mother's helper is one thing, babysitting is another. I don't know if they will think im too young. I am responsible, and i love little kids. I babysit my baby cousins, but im still not sure if i should start babysitting so early.

well by law i believe you have to be 14 to do it b/c technically you are not even legally old enough to stay home by yuorself. i would say go for it but dont even go out and try to watch more than 1 kid at a time and know that you will prob get payed no more than like $2 and hour because you are so young. and you will need references that arent related to you. i would try going to your close neighbors that know you well and ask them if you can watch their kids for free for an hour or 2 mainly for expierence and so you can get a reference from them. also if you make flyers let them know of your age. if i were a mom i would say you were to young but some moms may need you for an hour or 2 everyonce and a while if they need to run out shopping or whatever.

whatever you do i would say avoid getting a summer job, like one that you will be there all day unless there is only 1 kid and they are over the age of 4 or so incase something happens


just know your limits and not go out and try to do things you dont think you can

lately i have been getting heavy distarge right after i get my period. It really smells and i feel wet and uncomfortable. Is there anything i could do to make it not as heavy or smelly? thanks

i wear mini pads... they are like reg pads but way lighter and they help soak in the discharge and control the smell


you cant make it lighter otherwise

my face is really oily. i don't wear make-up so sometimes it is extremely noticable. i use biore shine control face wash and that works pretty good. does anybody know any other products that would help? or anything that i can do to reduce the shine? i'll rate 5's for anyone who tries!!

well i use nutragena face scrub and oxy pads and they do the trick for me. also maybe you can try getting some finishing powder.. it is powder makeup for your face that basically gets rid of shine

Whenever I shave "down there", it gets all red and itchy, and I don't have any baby oil or anything. So what should I put on it to stop the itching and redness?

i would say just moisturize it alot and instead of shaving cream i use conditioner and it really helps me.. maybe you can try that

aight look this dude was rubbin the head of his di*k on my pu**y because i told him he couldn't stick it in and PLUS he aint even have a condom and then he stuck it in and i pushed him back and moved so my 2 questions are....

1) is that called havin sex with him ?

2) could i be pregnant if thats all he did

now i really need to know this because it went farther then i wanted it to so if u could plz lemme kno wat chu think i would appreciate it!!!

although it is not exactly sex you could still get pregnant. the chance is extremely small b/c most of the sperm would die by then but there is always a chance

Heyy,i just want to know....

is there anything i could do to stop split ends from the straitener? or any srpay to put on befor/after straitening hair?
thanks! :]

get your hair cut more often. if you get regular hair cuts like everyother month (even just like a half an inch) it really keeps your hair from getting all fried and split endish.. also use alot of condition, along with reg condition in the shower use the spray in afterwords and deep conditioner atleast once a week

i have a jelly belly and I wear baby-t's (the really tight shirts) and i wear tight hip huggers. my fat hangs out everywhere and the shirts are so tight you can just see all my rolls. i use to think i looked hot until all the popular girls and hot boys started teasing me,
calling me names like jelly rolls and chunky. im so upset about this! what should i do? i love wearing these clothes but i dont want to get made fun of. should i still wear these kinds of clothes or no?

i would say no. go a size higher if you want to wear the same styles at least so its a bit loser on your and makes you apear thin or lose some weight. even though you are told not to listen to them i think they are right.. it doesnt look good at all. you can still wear the same style just get something a little bigger and looser

i want to dance like to hip hop music, is there a website i can go to? ( dont tell me to google search it ) but my friends tell me i need to loosen up and stuff and idk how to do that lol thanks!

i know this sounds weird but playing ddr really helped me. because you cant do the movements and be stiff. it forces you to loosen up. everyone on my dance team last year called me ballet girl because when we did hip hop dances i would be to perfect but ddr really got me to loosen up. i suggest try it.. especially the higher levels where you have to move around

ok i have writen before about me not wanting to be lesbians but i just cant help it. i like boys and everything its just that when i see a girl i look at her booty, her breast, her face, and i see how big her breast and nipples are compared to what i really like. i dont mean to but it is natural i guess. anyway how can i stop being lesbian and if i cant stop how do i find a girl that is my age in my area without everybody knowing? please help me!
i rate high for good answers!!1

edit:: its not that your confused.. its just that you are starting to like sexual things an exploring.. its way normal for your age

it really all depends on your age.. if you are a teen there is a change it could be just a face... most girls go through it sometime or another
