First I would like to point out that I'm not as ghostly white as my picture looks. I actually have a really nice tan. :)
Hey, I just read this for the first time in a long time and I realized I sounded like a complete female Rainman. Anyway, I'm pretty much amazing, haha. I love to help people out with minor or major problems, so you ask me anything and I will answer it to the best of my ability! My favorite topics to give advice on are DEBATE, FRIENDS, POLITICS, MUSIC, and SPORTS (a recent thing!). I'm a typical Texas (college) football fan. That's pretty much it, so get to asking questions and stop reading this! :)

I lost my voice! agh... it totally sucks because my family kinda makes fun of me because i have to whisper when I talk. So far i'm taking medicine and drinking tea. Getting somewhat rest. is there anything else I can do to regain my voice?? I already missed 3 days of school and cannot afford to miss another day. I also was sick earlier with the flu and i went to the doctor about that, i don't think i should go again because last time was about 3 days ago.
Should i drink something hot or cold?
any medicine that DOES work?
what should i do??? thanks (link)

I am a singer, so I lose my voice ALL the time. Here is something my voice teacher told me to mix up to help:
mix crushed asprin (dissolve in the water), sea salt (dissolve in the lemon juice), and lemon juice with warm water. Next add a TINY bit of rubbing alcohol or peroxide.
Gargle 3 times 30 seconds each time.
Drink WARM tea or water, it relaxes the vocal cords.
Try to refrain from talking too much, it will just make it worse.
Hope that helped and good luck with your voice!!! :)

I just turned 16, so i'm working on getting a car from my parents. I'm pretty sure that i'm going to get one. But i'm trying to figure out which one I want.
Can anyone give me any ideas of a good car for a teenager. Preferably one thats not too expensive, that is safe, reliable, and has a good gas mileage. My parents say that if I get a car they want it to be safe.
Any suggestions that you have would be greatly appreciated! (link)

If I were you I would go with Honda. I just got a Honda Civic and it gets 30 mpg in town and 40mpg on the highway. It also has surround curtain airbags, so if you were to get in an accident it's like matresses surrounding you. My dad owns a car lot and he says it's the most reliable, safest, and best on gas than any other car, so that's why he bought me one. Plus they aren't extremely expensive! Good luck :)

I've been with my boyfriend for 6 months now. we've been long distance for 3 of the months. [yes, it's crazy but I truely love him]. I sent him a box of goodies for valentines day & a present for his birthday. He's never sent me anything... not for anniversaries or anything. 5 months back he got me a bracelet for my birthday & then a scrapbook & stuff for christmas. I don't want to sound snobby or anything... I would love a ring from a 25 cent machine... just something to show he's thinking about me. Any ideas on how to do it wihout sounding rude? thanks! (link)
| |
Next time you talk to him just say something like "Hey did you get the stuff I sent you?" and he'll say "Yea" and then say "Oh well I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you, but (jokingly) I guess you never think of me since YOU don't send ME anything. (then giggle)" Just do something like that and I'm sure he'll get the hint. If not just tell him you don't think he's showing you he's still into you and that it's hard because of the distance.

so naturally light brown hair, dyed black, grew out, dyed blck again, tried to go back brown- my roots didnt change color. ive done this "back to brown" thing many times but its just stayed black with brown roots. i just died it again and ive been in tears because it doesnt change no matter what i do. im not spending alot of money to get it stripped or professionally done. ive been waiting for a logn time for it to grow out. im tired of wating, what can i do? (link)
| |
Go to Wal-Mart or Walgreens and buy the product "Sun-In." It's a spray you spray on your hair to lighten it and then go out in the sun. The sun will already lighten your hair without it, but the product speeds up the process. Either use that or lemon juice (from real lemons not lemon juice from a bottle), they both work.

i have this really bad skin problem going on. it started off with white spots on my chest area then it's slowly starting out around my body a few on my back more on my chest and some on my stomach and around my vigina. and sholders also. it's flacky and scaby lookin and turns into a white spot. my mother called the skin doctor and i don't have and apt till July. but it's started to freak me out. does anyone have a clue or now some web site i could go to to find out what this is? thank you. 18/female (link)
|
It's a skin fungus (ew right?) and it's caused by moisture. I have the same problem because I scuba dive a lot so I'm constantly in the water and in a wetsuit. The only way you can get rid of it is with a perscription cream that your doctor will give you. It's nothing serious, so don't worry about it. You can also lessen the appearance of it by washing the area with Selsun Blue (my doctor told me to do this along with applying the cream) until you go to the doctor.
EDIT: I didn't think mine was caused by moisture either, but that's what my doctor told me. The way you describe it makes it sound like the same thing I have.

you know when children are younger, they're parents hit them, spank them, and use like belts and other objects to set them straight. well how long are they allowed to do that for? when a child turns "what age" is that illegal? thanks (link)
| |
There's no certain age that it becomes illegal. Personally, I'm all for spanking even with a belt. Today all kids get is a "time out" or a good "talking to" and I think that's why there are more shootings and violence in schools. My school still uses corporal punishment (spanking in schools) and I'm glad. Like my dad always says "Childeren shouldn't be reasoned with. They need to learn that their parents, and other adults for that matter, are there to tell them what to do and guide them." If the spanking turns into a beating (hitting anywhere other than on the butt) then it becomes illegal.

i have a few questions about belly button piercing. i really like it and i would like to get one. but does it hurt? and everyone says no. but i mean seriously did you feel any pain? even the slightest? i mean seriosuly go back and think. and was their alot of blood? did you see it at all? does it take long? and also once its done.. what happens if i dont change it? because i normally dont cahnge my ears alot so will it get stuck or? and what about child birth? does it get ruined? does it hurt the baby? (link)
|
1. It doesn't hurt but it feels uncomfortable. It's just like someone pinching your belly button really hard.
2. There is no blood AT ALL.
3. It takes less than 2 minutes to do it.
4. It doesn't matter if you change it or not. Just don't change it before you're told to or it wont heal right. It's fine if you leave in the original jewelry. It wont get stuck.
5. It doesn't effect child birth at all. When you're pregnant you will have to take it out because you can't have any piercings when you're pregnant, but it wont hurt the baby or anything along those lines.
EDIT: Since you have to take the piercing out DURING the pregnancy the hole will close up because it will be out for 9 months. If you wanted the piercing again you would have to get it repierced.
Hope that answered your questions :) and just relax about the piercing, it's nothing to get worked up about.

I know there are lotions that help reduce the appearance of stratchmarks. What creams or lotion could I get from walmart that would work really well?! thanks in advance!!! (link)

Mederma will definately reduce the appearance of stretchmarks.

I dont know else though.

and what kind of jewerly?
i wanna stand out :D
Thanks in Advance (link)

wear your hair down and wavy. Don't put a lot of make-up on, maybe a little bit of eyeliner and mascara to make your eyes pop out. As for jewelry wear a long dangly necklace (like this> http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j269/bisuteria/A963.jpg or this> http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b204/fluoxetine_doll/scan0007.jpg ) and bracelets that match.. just don't go overboard.

my boyfriend wears too much cologne but i don't know how to tell him! i do NOT want to come straight out and tell him "you wear too much" he just needs to know somehow. how can i let him know that? (link)
| |
Just make a joke about it. Wave infront of your nose and say "Dang babe did you bathe in that or something? It's way strong," or something along those lines. Don't get worked up about ways to tell him.. I'm sure it wont offend him if you tell him straight up.

okay i always forget what the lyrics to lady marmalade mean so can someone help me out?
thanks in advance!

Okay, so I do gymnastics and I was talking to my friend and she told me that gymnastics stunts peoples growth. Is that true? (link)
| |
It all depends on how much you do gymnastics. It CAN stunt your growth, but it's highly unlikely. I did cheer and tumbling for a few years and I practiced every single day for about an hour and it didn't do anything. If you're really worried that you're going to stop growing then go to your doctor and talk to him/her about it or just cut down for a couple of weeks and give yourself a break.

ok so i like to wear liquid eyeliner...ok, ALOT of liquid eyeliner...
anyway i always get like "eyeliner boogers" in the corner of my eye from it...yeah its pretty gross....
anyway, i guess its draining into my nose or something because if i ever blow my nose or something...my snot has eyeliner all over it!and im assuming that means the eyeliner is also draining my my throat into my stomach!
anyway, i was just curious...does anyone know if this is dangerous?? like, comsuming eyeliner..? and please dont tell me to not wear it or to ask a doctor. thanksss (link)
| |
It's physically impossible for eyeliner to seep into your nose and throat from your eyes. The reason you're getting it in your snot is because there are little tiny flakes falling from your eyes, because it's liquid eyeliner and every liquid eyeliner flakes whether you notice it or not, onto your nose and it may seem like it's coming out of your nose but it really isn't. Don't worry about it or just switch to a different brand of eyeliner. It's no big deal, really! Just don't drink the eyeliner or stick it up your nose.. then that would be dangerous. (haha)

the last picture wasn't an infection. She had bedadine on her nose to clean it (it's like iodine and looks gross, used mainly for cleaning belly button piercings)
Lip piercings don't hurt at all, it's just really uncomfortable!
Nose piercings hurt a bit, but the pain goes away after a few seconds.
Just remember to keep the piercings clean and follow the directions the piercer gives you exactly so you wont get an infection.
EDIT: What I meant by uncomfortable is that it doesn't hurt, but it's not something that feels really good. Don't worry, it doesn't last long.

Hi.
I'm 14/F.
To start off, I hate my life.
My parents hate me and they say I should die.
I don't enjoy life. I cut myself all the time to take a way the pain. My mom won't take me to see a doctor since she hates me.
School is rough. I'm called names everywhere I walk. I'm made fun of for no reason. I feel hated.
I feel like I don't belong. I feel like if I committed suicide, I would definitely be happier. People would be happier.
I know you probably either want to say "Suicide Isn't the way out!" Or "Your parents really love you!"
They don't my parents don't. They told me they don't.
I feel like I don't belong. I've had so many breakdowns. I sit alone at lunch. I don't have any friends. What should I do? Whats a good way to commit suicide?
Please help.
I need it. (link)
|
Committing suicide is the cowards way out. Stop reading this and call a suicide hotline right this second.
Go to your school councler and talk to him/her about your situation, they can help you even if you think they can't.
|
do they hurt?
how long are they swollen and stuff for?
can you explain
how long and how painful it was.
only answer if you have a lip ring
kthnx (link)
| |
I used to have my lip pierced. When you get your lip pierced it doesn't exactly HURT, it's just very uncomfortable. The swelling depends on how fast your body heals. My lip was swollen for a couple of days, but my body heals very quickly. It's a very irritating piercing and it doesn't exactly heal completely, it's pretty much an open sore the whole time you have it pierced. You just have to make sure you keep the original jewelry in for the length of time your piercer tells you or it will get infected. Also, don't touch it without washing your hands first. For the first week or so it will be red and kind of look infected, but it's just healing. Good luck with your piercing! :)

is this eyeliner a good one? if not what is? but not a expensive on eplease (link)

I use that and it definately works. It doesn't wear off easily and it goes on smooth. Any make-up by Avon is usually amazing.

hey im the one who asked about the shoe sizes.. what kind of excercises did u do to get a smaller foot? thx (link)
| |
Well I go to a gym called Curves, so I'm not sure what exercises helped me since I was working out on machines. Maybe try all different kinds of exercises and run a little bit every day. You could do squats, lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, side sit-ups, and make sure to stretch after you work out.
