i hvae one of those huge whitehead pimples on my cheek, and is it easier to put make-up on it if i pop it, or if i let it stay big? and what can i do to make it go away faster? i don't need any products, just should i pop it or wash it or leave it alone?

Putting make up such as a concealer, foundation, or cover up will just make it worse. You should just pop it, clean it, and leave it alone. Try not to make any contact with that area where the pimple is because that will also make it worse.

i am on 2 swimteams and 1 track team but i'm still not happy with my body. is there any way i can lose weight??

Well, running helps, and it's good that's you're on a track team. Being active, as you are, can make you lose weight. You just need to eat healthy, watch how much you eat, and exercise daily and you'll lose weight. You can try going on diet if you feel that you need to.

This is normal and your breasts are starting to develop and it's nothing to worry about, really.

i have HTML on my profile but on my column it doesnt show up. does anyone know what the deal is and how do i fix it?

WILL RATE.

The Admin disabled HTML for columns and this is why it isn't showing up on your column. I don't think she's going to let HTML be on column soon, since there are bigger problems.

Check out these questions that she answered similar to this one and you'll get an answer about this: http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=advicenator_admin&mode=qview&q=356087 and http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=advicenator_admin&mode=qview&q=356422.

No, that does not make you related to your step sisters' cousin, since you aren't related by blood.

OkAY I MITE SOUND TOTALY DUMB BUT ANY WAY I SEEN SOMEBODYS MYSPACE ON HERE AND IT WAS REALLY NEAT IT HAD LIKE A BACK GROUND AND MUSIC ND STUFF IT WAS REALLY CUTE SO I WENT ON THE WEB SITE TO JOIN BUT HOW DO YOU GET ALL THE GARPHICS ND STUFF AND WHAT IS IT FOR CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLANE? I RATE 5S THANKS

Explaining everything here will definitely confuse you. By the sound of it, you don't know HTML.

Everything on that person's Myspace is pretty much all HTML. Every code you want to put on your page either goes in your 'About Me' section or anywhere else.

You may want to use a generator to make a layout and customize your Myspace. You can find some at http://mygen.co.uk/index.php?page=create, http://www.fearkiller.net/utilities/myspace.php, or at http://www.strikefile.com/myspace.

Or you can use a premade layout and you can find one at http://www.createblog.com/skins/index.php?type_id=3 or http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com.

For myspace codes, go to http://www.myspacehtml.net.

On April 2ed I got my ears pierced for a second time (second holes) well they still haven't healed yet. The girl said when she was done 6 weeks but its been about 4 months. My first holes healed kinda slow too but not this slow. Do you think there is something wrong? Or maybe there is a way to speed it up.
P.S. I didn't use any solution to clean it after I got it done other than peroxide it every few days, if that helps.

They should be healed by now. Start using the solution the piercer gave you and that may help. My ears are tripled pierced and so is my left cartilage and when I used the solution, they healed. For now, use Neosporin. It'll help and it works. If it doesn't heal soon, you should go get them checked.

i like this girl but she is one year younger than me and she is just my friend what should i do

Tell her how you feel about her. You never know, she may like you also. Try asking her out; if she doesn't want to, then let her get to know you and she may change her mind.

does limewire & bearshare give you viruses??

If you're going to use Bearshare, don't, because it does give your computer viruses. I have Limewire and I haven't gotten a virus yet from this program.

Ok,well i haven't my period yet [[and im 13..]] My mom got it when she was 13,my sister got it when she was 14. Does this run in the family that i'll get it either this year or when im 14? or would i be different? i really just want to get it over with instead of being afraid it'll happen when im in school or somewhere everyone can see it !!

Just because your mom and sister started their period at a certain age, it doesn't always mean that you'll get it at that age also. It doesn't run in the family. You could get it in a few months or even in a year or two but no one knows for sure. Every girl is develops differently than others. If you think you're going to get it during school, just wear a panty liner and you'll be fine.

i know the lyrics to this song but i dont know who sings it:
"if looks could kill, you'd be a murderer, or maybe just a whore" Thank you!

It's "If Looks Could Kill" by A Heartwell Ending.

I know Filene's and Nordstrom sells Liz Claiborne so you can try returning the items at either of those departments.

I recently just got braces, and I have a boyfriend and we've been going out for a few months now and we haven't kissed yet.
Well I'm afraid now that since I have braces he won't want to kiss me.
I don't know, this is just something that worries me. But should I be worried about this?

You shouldn't be worried about this. Just because you two haven't kissed yet, having braces shouldn't have any influence with that, whatsoever. You can always talk to him and ask him if you have to.

i am just wondering why people put lemon juice in there hair. i am not bein mean but i just wanna know what it does
thanks

Girls put lemon juice in their hair to highlight it. When you're hair is wet and you apply lemon juice to it and go outside, the light from the sun will highlight your hair. It's just anther way to highlight your hair without paying for anything.

does anyone know how to make really good smokey eyes like how they have it in the magazines and stuff?

It's actually pretty easy to make your eyes smokey. You just put on the color eyeshadow you want to wear and then apply a gray eyeshadow over it and that's how it's done.

ok im on like my third peorid and i wanna use a tapon i hate pads ther so nasty and they feel like a diper um so can someone tell me the best brands for tapons and like how do you get TSS? welll thx
ps. if it helps im 13

Tampax is definitely a good brand for tampons. As for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), you get it by the improper use of tampons. Every time you leave a tampon in too long or wear one when you aren't on your period, your chances of getting TSS are increasing. Just go to this page for more information: http://tampax.com/en_us/pages/tss_main.shtml?pageid=ar0058.

I have been on my period for a year and a half. And my boobs are still pretty small. Does anyone have any idea when they think my boobs will actually start growing? cuz i need to kno. If you are helpful. I will RATE YOU HIGH! PROMISE!!!!!

No one knows for sure, since every female is different and starts puberty at a different age than others. They say you're supposed to start growing after a few years you've gotten your period but that's not true. You can start soon but then again, I really don't know.
