about

Hello, all- I'm Becky. I'm 16 years old but wise far beyond my years, so hopefully you can expect some good advice from me. I'm not here to spit out cutesy answers to every single question- I won't be a bitch, but I'll be sure to tell it like it is. Just accept it, and consider less-than-sweet answers as tough love. :]

How lng are you supposed to leave a pad on? Is it a bad for you to keep it on for 2 or 3 days? I know its discusting, but is it unhealthy for you? Thanks so much.

That is kind of unsanitary, and probably not good for you. I would change it at least once or twice a day, more depending on how heavy your period is. Hope I helped =]

I have a red dress for prom, but i have no idea what kind of eye shawdow, I have brown eyes. And i tryed red and i just look sick. So any suggestions, would be apprecited.
Thank you!

I would probably go with brown eyeshadow. Brown can look really classy and pretty, and goes with anything. Maybe a dark brown on your eye line, either with eyeshadow or eyeliner. Then, light brown up to your crease, and cream up to your browbone if you want something up there. Also, wear a pretty peachy-pink blush, and red jewel-tone lipstick. Hope I helped!

I am a junior, senior next year graduating in the year 2008.

I do plan to attend college in 2009. In the year that I am not in college I would like to go to London and be a nanny. I love kids. The only problem is, I can't find any ads anywhere because I live in the US. Can anybody help me find ads or give me ads for nannying jobs in London?

I don't know if this is the kind of thing your looking for at all but:

All I did was go to the UK version of Yahoo! and then look for nanny job listings. You could probably try that for other sites as well. Hope I helped!

Hey, I was wondering how to make my pictures more interesting. I love how some people can make theirs black and white, and write things on them and can get rid of acne, etc. It looks so cool how they can edit them. Is there any way I can do stuff like that without having to pay for anything? Thanks =)

I LOVE to use Irfanview for pictures. http://irfanview.com/
With that you can resize your pictures. You can also change pictures to different basic color tones, such as green, blue, red, and grayscale. When you're done with that, you can go to Paint (your computer probably already has that, without downloading anything). With that, you can draw words or pictures onto your photos. I don't know how to take a grayscale picture and draw color onto it, but I know its possible. Hope I helped =]

What are some songs like 'Listen to Your Heart' (not the remix) that you can find piano music for? I don't want anything that'll be totally easy but I don't want anything that'll be insanely hard either. Thanks in advance!!

how can i pace myself better? i always get tired as soon as i start running! help!

Don't start sprinting. If you start at a moderate jog, you might be behind anyone else you're running with (ex. in P.E. class, track, etc.) but you will be able to run longer without taking a break. As you keep on practicing, you will build your endurance and you will be able to go quicker for longer. =]

i got my preriod very late.. so my boyfriend think that i am pregnant. we went to the clinic for five times and i took five urine test. it all came out negative. i am really scared because my stomach is getting big than it was. after that clinic that i took five urine test, i went to a different clinic. when i took another test. it came out negative.
does this means that i am not pregnant? or the test is just messing up. i've been hearing that the urine test is not accurate and also the blood test. i dont know what to do. they wont let me have a ultra sound so i know if its in there or not.
can someone tell me.. if im pregnant or not. i am really scared and i dont want to have a baby.

I'm pretty sure that you aren't pregnant. Like you said, you did get your period, so that's a good sign. Also, taking 10 tests and them all having negative results means the results are probably correct. If you are still worried, you can talk to someone else at a different clinic, but chances are, you're okay.

I'm 18 and a male. I have an Aadvicenators account that I've been using for years, but sometimes I just need to reach out to my fellow advicenators for help.

Well, theres this girl that I like named Katrina. We've been friends for a long time, and lately we've been getting really flirtatious, and I've found that she likes me also. The only problem is that we live in two different counties. Even though shes only about a 45 minute drive away we've yet to stay in physical contact with each other over a long period of time. My question is, what should I do? I'd like to leave, 'cause I don't like to wait around for things that aren't going to happen, but her friends all tell me that if I leave she'll be devastated. Not that I wouldn't be hurt too, it's just that I'd like to spare myself some unneeded pain ya know? So, what should I do? Stay or go? I really need some help here...

I think long distance relationships should only work if the two people have lived close for a while, they were just pulled apart. If you don't live close and never have, then you can't really make it work as easily because you don't really know how it feels to live close. I think you should break it off, because it doesn't really work out to not be able to be in close contact very often.

All of the "cool girls" at my school do drugs. All of the guys like them b/c they are easy. This guy I like only likes easy drug girls and I don't kow what to do to make him like me! Help!

Obviously you know you shouldn't do drugs. So no matter what, don't do drugs! Don't give in to him. If the only way he can "like" you is by you doing drugs, you can do SO much better than him. If that's the only way to make it happen, chances are he doesn't really like you, because wouldn't you rather have someone like you without you doing something that's harmful to you?

Hi,what condom would be better for a 14-15 year old. lubercated or non lubercated?
what would be the advantages and disavantages of each?

Well I'm no expert, but I would definitely think lubricated would be better. It would make it more comfortable, and it would go in better.

whats the story behind the bathwater song? like basically.. what is it about, and what do the lyrics mean? i tried to like interpret what it meant but i dont know.

I think it's basically saying that the girl is just one of the girls that this guy is hanging out with, but she wants to be the only one. And she knows that she should leave him because it's obvious that she isn't the only one, but she loves him so much that she tries to convince herself that she is the only one. I'm pretty sure that's what it's about...hope it helped =]

lately i've been thinking about killing myself.ive been crying myself to sleep alot lately and last night i even went in my room and locked the door and started looking for scissors to cut myself with.its a good thing that there wernt any in my room,or i would have cut my wrists and killed myself.it just seems like no1 cares about me anymore and like everything bad that happens is my fault. and my brothers and friends are not helping right now, the reason i went in my room last night was because my brother changed the time on the oven,i was cooking a pizza at 400degrees and he changed it to 450 degrees. i've been getting mad like that , over stupid litl things for like a monthh now, and if it doesn;t stop im afraid im gonna get so mad and sad that im actually gonna kill myself,and since im a christian,i know its wrong but i just cannt help it. i really want to become happy again, and stop thinking about killing myself.how can i do it?

TALK TO SOMEONE. Find an adult you feel comfortable with and trust: a parent, a friend's parent, an extended family member, a teacher, a counselor, ANYONE. Tell them how you've been feeling and that you need help. They should take it from there. And as for your brothers, they don't mean to upset you so much. They're just messing around and being brothers. Hope I was able to help you help yourself =]

I need to find white, pointy toed stilettos ASAP! I've looked EVERYWHERE I can think of, but nobody carries them. Any websites I could order them from? or maybe stores I've over-looked? (preferably no more than $35) Thanks!

This helps?

Certainly hope so. I don't know how quick you can get them, but they are dyeable so you can definitely get them white. If you have a store near you

http://davidsbridal.com/findastore.jsp

then swing by there; they will have white if they have anything. Hope I helped!

okay, I go to a private school and i absolutely DESPISE it. I've asked my mom to change my schools and she says not until i bring my grades up and stop missing so much school. but the problem is...i fake sick as much as i can so i dont have to go. ( like i said before, i DESPISE the place) and i know it seems a bit childish, but if my little act doesnt work at first I start crying, like REALLY crying. i realy dont want to go. its a super small school and whenever i'm there I have absolutely no privacy. as a matter of fact, i feel like everyone there knows more about me than i do. And I've known the principal ever since kindergarten so she expects so much of me and i just cant live up to her standards anymore. My mom sent me to a counselor the other day bcuz she was worried about me and I told the counselor about school and how i wanted to switch and she actually agreed with me and said that she thought that would probably be the best thing for me. i told my mom and she just got mad and wouldnt talk to me for a little while. can anyone think of some way i could convince my mom to let me switch??? please, anything would help. thank you.

Definitely have the counselor talk to your mom. It might help sway your mom to hear an "expert opinion". Also, tell your mom that your grades will go up if you switch schools, because you'll be happier. Hope I helped, and good luck ♥
