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

umm i heard rumors that limewire is going to be shut down becuase the government heard about it...is this true? if it is, when will this go in effect and what will happen? thanks ♥Nellie

nope. accually i would say about a week ago they came out with a new version. the government has always know about it. and they reg. catch ppl on there stealing music. but as long as you dont share the files you download you dont have to worry about anything

Okay theres a song, I honestly can't remember the lyrics or the title.
But I know in the music video [ Its a pop song, and I used to see it on MTV alot] The video starts out and you can just see a white man's mouth [ and his mustach] and one of those old fashion microphones and its just a white background. Lol, I know its not much but its all I can remember. Please Help =)

what show did you see it on? if you saw it on a top 20 countdown or whatever it should be on mtvs web site. if you can tell me when you saw it i may be able to help you out

i have a question bout my parens ...... well dealing with them. I am 15 years old. My parents argue a lot and i cant take it. i hate it so much and they dont understand how much sress it causes me. i dont know how to deal. how can i deal with the stress and anger they cause me? please answer as soon as possible. thank you.

Signed,
Stressed and emotional

talk to a counseler whether its in school or out and you need to talk to someone along with your parents. sometimes people get so caught up in their emotions that they forget about the other people there. just let them know how you feel or if you feel that you cant do that take them to a meeting with a counseler with you so you feel like you have another person on your side too

ok im in the band at school but i also just joined a band with my friends . they ask me to play gutair should i stick with band or take gutair lesson

i would stay stick with band at school. especially if you want to go to college.. you can get so many scholarships out of that.. and who nos how long your band with you friends will last? maybe you can get a video online or something that can give you gutair lessons that way so you dont have to quit band at school

how do A&F clothes run ?

it really depends.. like most of their shirts run small, hoodies run about the same as normal, and most pants run a little bit big. it all depends. the camis are ussually really small. for the most part their you just have to try it on and see how it fits although i have noticed that alot of smalls fit the same as larges

Hey im 15/f and i was wondering if there were any face products that actually worked on fighting zits and pimples. I tried almost everything! But it either makes my face dry or gives me more zits and doesn't work. I pop them when they come but they become a horrible problem.. so it there any products that i could use that work and wont dry out your face? And another thing is, i know that some foods will make you break out or do something to your face. What foods are thoughs? Thanks a bunch i rate high!

well proactive didnt work for me at all! it make my face worse.. thought i would say that


anyways i use a mix of nutragena deep clean scrub and oxy pads and it works really well for me. it doesnt really clear zits up but def. prevents them as long as you use them enough

Does anyone know where I can get music codes for Myspace? I'm particularly looking for the Numa Numa Song

well the only thing you can do is when you are signed in your myspace you look at all the options at the top and click music. then you can search a band or singer and then say you are seaching kelly clarkson a site will come up.. now read all the info there and under plays of the number is 0 that means it doesnt have music under it but if it has a number click that site and go there. okay so i searched kelly clarkson and this was the 2nd site that came up (it had more plays than the 1st one) http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=30712181

and on the right you will see a list of music. so say i wanted because of you. under the song name it says add and i click it. a box comes up and i say yes and the music is on my site!


ps (not all artists are there but alot of local bands are so you have to look around ) and there is no code to add to your site!

I have two younger siblings. Some might say that I shoulk babysit them fir free, but I also cook, clean, and chase them around. I think I should get a little something. What do you think?

i think you should depends on how old then are. if they are old enought o basically watch themselves and you supervise i dont think you should get as much as if they were like under the age of 6 or so. but you should still get something! tell your parents you would atleast like a small allowance like $10 a night you do it or maybe have a shopping spree sometime or something special. i think its totally unfare but trust me i have to do it too! its just something stupid oldest have to do.. and when i complain my parents just say about all the work they did when they were little and didnt get paid.. they just dont get times change

edit:: ohh okay i say it more than i spell it

okay i will try! i am dislexic and sometimes it makes it deficult to say what i want to.. like i know what i want to say i just dont know how to put it!

Today my sister was complainging about a throbing headache soo she took advil. Well 2hrs later she was putting on make-up and her nose started bleeding. It was like gushing bllod no lie We had to throw away the towel she used it bleed for like 10 min and it coming out i chucks kinda. After it stopped her headache was gone like 5 min later.

Im wondering if you guys Know why this started bleeding like it did out of now where. And if she needs to go a doctor about it because thats what my dad plans on doing if it starts up again.

Thx.

its from the weather. winter always brings a weird mix of weather that causes nose bleeds. if shes getting them more than once a week you need to talk to a doctor but less than that is normal. i dont really think the head ache was related. some people get sick with the smell or taste of blood and her body might have known it was coming. i wouldnt worry about it. you can call your doctor and see what they think but i wouldnt make a trip out to see them unless they want to see her

also she could have had some sort of allergy to the advil. its strong stuff. she should try weaker things first to see if they wil help her like tylonol. it will decrease the risk of side effects which i think nosebleeds is 1

I think I am fat. I weigh about 116-120 pounds and am about 5"4. Is this overweight?
I don't have like ANY time at all to exercize, I do lose weight, but than I end up gaining it all back on. I can't wake up an hour earlier in the morning because I am already tired as is. I am busy like ALL the time. Does anyone have any way I could lose weight quickly, and wouln't take much time out of my schedual?

omg you are so not over weight. i always get compliments on how skinny i am and im the same weight as you but 4 inches shorter. if you want to lose weight just change how you eat! ive lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks which is ussually pretty good without exercise. just get rid of all the junk and pop!

im not sure what to put this under as a category but heres how the story goes:

im 15/f. ive been going to the same school since i was seven. its an all girls school, and most of my guy friends go to all guy schools. well, anyways, the thing is that after school i do ballet... but it is WAY to early. it starts at like four thirty and thats just to early for me. i have things to take care of after school!

well, anyways, the all guy schools have chearleaders, but all the chearleaders go to this other all girls school. thers only two girls schools and two guy schools where i live =), but the reason that they dont allow the girls from my school to try out for chearleading for those schools is because we dont have a chearleading team...... and ive always wanted to become a chearleader!!!! and its also because i get to meet more guys when i get out of school (aka prison) instead of doing ballet, where its another group of all girls! so, i have moved the ballet classes to the adult classes only because it was a better scheduale for me......


but..... the reason we dont have a chearleading team is because the headmistress of our school doesn't believe in it or something because she thinks that girls are showing their underwear... i dont know its really really stupid. but, thats what she says. maybe if i wrote her a letter or something, she would consider it, i mean we are like the only school in this city that does not have a chearleading team, and some people, like me, really, really want to do it!!!! what could i write to her to make her change her mind.... and you know, not sound disrespectful to her or anything, u noe, not make her mad. heehee.... thank you very much for reading this. thanking u in advance for your help!

i would have your parents write to the all guys school. and tell they you could get a group of girls together and practice. or what we did for our school is we made a dance team that was called our school name but wasnt accually part of our school. maybe you can try that. also you can have your friend petition to make a team at your school or maybe you can move to the other school?

Why are some guys such JERKS? No, that's not really my question, but I would like to know.

My question is this... I have a boyfriend. I think. Thing is, I haven't spoken to him since early December. He WON'T take my calls. How do I know? "Hello Mrs. Carr, is Andrew home?"
"Just a second" *calls his name in the backround*
*Andrew whispers back* "Who is it?"
"May I ask who's calling?"
"Yes ma'am, it's Brandy."
*Andrew whispering again* "I'm not home."
*His mom* "Brandy honey, could you call back in a few minutes please?"
"Of course."
So I wait a few minutes, about fifteen, and call back. NO ANSWER. I call my friend Meg who lives right next door to him and asked if he was there. She said yes. I called him again. No answer. I waited a few more minutes and called back. No answer.

He missed my birthday and hasn't spoken to me at all in over a month. I just don't know what to think. I mean, he hasn't broken up with me, so does he want to be with me? And if he didn't want to be with me, couldn't he grow some cohones and tell me instead of ignoring me?

*Sigh*

there is a guy for you. he thinks hes being nice by not breaking up with you and i guess waiting for you to break up with him but in reality hes not being nice at all. just wait till hes not home and call his house and leave a mean message on his machine. i know its not the nicest thing but see whats hes put you through for 2 monthes?

today, at school i walked for about 30 minutes..about a mile, then i walked home...about 30 more minutes...then i lifted weights for 20 minutes, then did my gazelle for only 10 minutes, i then walked to the school to get my couison, and home ( 30 minutes ) then i did an intermediate pilates video..

me and my couison plan on doing this a few times a week..will i lose weight? ( sum days though i won't be doing all that walking, and it'll be weights, video, and gazelle )

any advice to stay motivated on the gazelle for 20 minutes? i feel like its like 5 hours! i love reading advice..so i'll take comments..

thanks in advance!

much love

hopeless romantic

i think you are doing good. but lifting weights wont help you lose weight. accually you are gaining muscle which weights more than fat so you may see an increase in weight. my mom told me i should lose weight first then lift so all my fat isnt going to muscle and adding more weight.

why dont you watch a movie/tv or listen to music and sing while you are on the gazelle. i know when i watch tv or a movie time flies faster

anything that involves working the leg muscles with make it better (swimming jogging, walking ect) also if you have the opperunity either go to a gym and use the leg machines or do lots of lundges (if you dont know what they are and your friends dont either i would be more than happy to tell you)

Im just wondering,whats a good brand of face cleaner for semi oily-acne prone skin?
