I'm a 17 year old girl. That's all you need to know, now ask me Q's!

advice

I'm going to Yankee Stadium again for the second time. I wore all Red Sox clothes the first time (they are huge rivalry teams) and it wasn't TOO bad. I can take the food being chucked at me and the nasty comments. This time I wanna take a sign to Yankee Stadium. I wanna diss the Yankees somehow but I don't know what to put. Right now the Yankees are in second place and the Red Sox are in first if that helps.. any ideas would be great. =]

Why would you go to a Yankee game when they aren't even playing the Red Sox? That's just dumb.

ok i went jet sking and my face got a little burnt so i fixed the burns and my face looked normal. but then my face (nose and under right eye)started to peel what are some overnight fixers for skin peeling because school tomorrow and i don't want to go with a horror movie face lmfao
thanks in advance

Keep it moisturized. Either use aloe or face lotion.

Isn't facebook for highschool people? I'm 13 and I have a myspace and I know that a lot of people in highschool left myspace because all of us younger kids came on, and now all my friend are like "omg switch to facebook!!" but it seems like it would just annoy those older kids who switched. Isn't facebook mainly for kids in highschool?

It's for high school and older. If your in middle school, don't get a facebook, people will get annoyed haha. Also, its stupid if your in middle school cause on faacebook you have to pick a network (your school) and they dont have middle schools.

its a simple enough idea.
get the side swept bangs out of your face, bobby pin them up on the top of your head.
everyone should know what im talking about there...some people have more of a 'poof' there than others as they please.
but EVERYtime i put them up i have the little short baby band that stick out of it and it looks really really bad.
i need to have my bangs up because i play tennis and they keep getting in my way.
what is a way i can put my bangs up in this fashionable way and control all the short little hairs???
xoxoxoxo

hairspray.

How much does it cost a month to live in Hillside Villas?

Your talking about the apartments from The Hills, right? They don't exist. They are real apartments, but they have a different name. No one really knows what it is though. Sorry I couldn't help you out though.

i just need a vote. which do you think is more popular, or do you like more?

straight or curly

thankss :D

I have straight hair, but I have to say that I like curly hair better. BUT the kind of curly I'm thinking of is the curling iron kind, not the poofy afro type curly haha.

Hi. OK, heres the deal ive know this guy since 5th grade and im now a freshman in high school. This guy is one of my brothers best friends. Now, me and this guy talk all the time over the computer and on the phone but when he comes over to hang with my brother he doesnt even say "Hi." Me and him FLIRT all the time on the computer but i seems like when hes around my brother hes actting different. I just cant seem to get the nerve to ask him if he likes me the way i like him. What should i do ? Should i just ask him i he likes me? Or should i just move on?

You should just ask him if he likes you. He probably acts different around your brother because he most likely thinks it would be weird to like his friends sister. He could be shy too. Some people are more outgoing on the phone and online than in person because they're shy. Just as a warning, he MIGHT not like you because a lot of guys just flirt girls and it means nothing to them. But in this situation, I think he might like you because he takes time out of his day to talk on the phone. Hope I helped!

I am 42 and I just recently got married to a woman I have known my entire life but we both got married to other people shortly after high school. She has three teenage daughters Sam is 19 Meagan is 18 and Audree is 16. Their father left them shortly after my wife had her youngest daughter and so she has raised them all by herself. They have always been pretty affluent because my wife's family has quite a bit of money and she is a magazine editor. She lets the girls get away with murder and they get everything rthey could possibly even dream of wanting. I have a very big issue with this since my three sons (19 18 aand 17) are expected to follow very strict rules. I was in the army for several years and my children are expected to abide by my rules or face the consequences.

The girls however are completely out of control, especially the youngest one, Audree. My wife and i both agreed on a curfew for the all six kids when they moved in. She convinced me to change the curfew of my sons to be midnight for all of the kids. I agreed but with hesitation. Like always before my kids have always gotten here on time or before their curfew while her daughters completely disregard the rules. For example, Audree was late for curfew 4 times out of the 7 days last week. My wife didn't even talk to her about it. When i confronted her al she said was "She is only 16. I think we should just let her live her life." I found out the other day that her girls have never been grounded, never had acurfew, and are very open about teh fact that they go to parties and drink. Sam has gotten in 4 accidents since she has lived here, and Meagan has her boyrfriend over all the time without supervision, all things i dont tolerate from my own kids. Audree came home in tears the other night because she got a ticket for driving 19 MILES OVER THE SPEED LIMIT! My wife just hugged her and tried to calm ehr down the entire night and i never heard a single word about the ticket, which i had to pay for sicne none of her kids have jobs. I almost feel as if she is condoning this outrageous behavior since she never repremands her kids. I don't know how to explain to my kids about thsi double standard in our house but i feel like i can't interfere quite yet with her disiplining (or lack there of)since i am not their real father and have only been in their lives for 3 years. I just don't know how much more of this disrepect i can take from them. They are beautiful girlsand i love them like my own. I wish i could treat them this way though. I feel like i owe it to them to lay down the law and punsih them for things like curfew and partying and bad grades but i dont know if it will just put more stress on our relationship that could eventually cause tension between my wife and I. How should i handle this?

I'm only 15 years old, but I'll try to answer this the best I can.

You should sit down with your wife sometime and just tell her how you feel about the situation. Then tell her there needs to be rules, and punishments if the rules aren't followed. The reason the girls do whatever they want is because they know they won't get into trouble.

My mom is the same way with my sister (she's 20 years old) as your wife is with her daughters. My mom always tells her that if she doesn't do something then she'll take away her cellphone, car, or computer. Then when my sister doesn't do it, my mom just keeps saying she's gonna take something away, but she never does. My sister knows that she won't stick to her word, so she rebels. But there was one time when my sister got her car and cellphone taken away, and she ended up obeying my mom.

I'm pretty sure if you and your wife can agree on the rules and punishments, then things should get better. You'll just have to make sure that your wife follows through with them.

Hope I helped, and good luck.

Ok so is there any type of cream or anything for your skin that lightens freckles or dark spots?
If so where can I get it?

Or if you know of any home remedies that actually work, don't say the lemon juice thing.

Thanks.

I don't know how to lighten them, but if you go out in the sun alot, it usually makes freckles darker and stand out more. So use sunscreen or avoid the sun somewhat.

I asked a question about what it's like to get your wisdom teeth out before. I just got them out a few hours ago and my mouth is in a great deal of pain. It didnt hurt getting them out because I was asleep. I got all four out & they were impacted. I've only had mashed potatoes and a little water since I came home & I ate the potatoes extremely slowly. I tried taking the prescription medicines, but I can never swallow pills so yeaaah. I took penicillin & I somehow got that to go down with my potatoes. I have one other pill to take & it's round and I cut it in half & have tried 5+ times to swallow it but it doesn't work, even when it's in my potatoes.

I took tylenal for the pain already [adult liquid tylenal] & i'm 17/f.

Any suggestions of what else I can take where I won't have to deal with swallowing pills? And I dont thik sending me sites or ideas of how to swallow them will help, seeing as I'm pretty sure i've tried everything.

Thankss.

Continue to take the liquid tylenol as the directions say. But besides that there's not too much you can do. I recommend lots of sleeping. My sister was having pain from her wisdom teeth and she just sleep forever and it helped her to get over the pain. I know exactly how you feel about not swallowing pills, I've never taken one in my life. I hope you feel better soon, pain sucks.

ok, so for my birthday, me and a bunch of my friends are going shopping on 5th avenue. (nyc, of course.) but... the last time I went shopping there was when I was about 5... so I'm not quite sure about many of the stores. I would love if someone could give me links to a map of 5th avenue, a list of shops to check out, or more info that you think I would find helpful. I have been googling phrases like '5th avenue nyc' and 'stores on 5th avenue' but it hasn't been very helpful.
And does anyone know if the store Strawberry has a website??? because I've been looking for it forever and I would really really love it if someone could give me a link to it or tell me that it doesn't have a website please!
Thanks in advance! xo

I love New York, and I'm going there in two days! I found this yahoo site with a list of 5th ave stores. I hope it's what youre looking for.

http://local.yahoo.com/results?fr=dd-local-more&stx=shopping+5th+ave&csz=New+York%2C+NY

And for the Strawberry website, I don't think it has one. I searched and didn't find anything. Unless it's a cosmetics store, then I think this is the site.

http://us.strawberrynet.com/main.aspx?region=USA

are there any sites you can upload a picture of yourself, then the haircut you want, to see how you would look with that haircut? i want something thats free too. thanks :)

This site lets you pick haircuts with your picture and it's free. The only thing is, if you use the free version, you can only do a limited amount of things.

http://www.makeoversolutions.com/makeover/virtualMakeover

Also, there's something sort of like that one at clairol.com and it's also free.

ok so I was reading a question posted on here about auditions for the clique movie and I got pretty excitied cause I knew they were trying to make one but that it hadn't happened yet. Anyway I was wondering if theres any place to audition in the New England area or if it has to be in California because I would love to audition for any of the roles. Any advice would be awesome. ♥

Sugarloot.com is holding the contest. You just take a video of yourself and post it. Here's an example of one.

http://www.sugarloot.com/videoentry/773766107?prevID=773602267&prevVote=1

There are two scripts you can choose from. You pick the one that you want to audition for. I think it said they pick the winner near the end of September, so you still have time.

Good Luck!

(Sorry I have a lot of questions)

Ok so I think I'm on my period now but heres the thing, I've been haveing discharge but nothings comming out. It's been light brown or normal brown colored but yesterday I saw a couple drops of red. Why isn't anything comming out? I try to push it out but that doesn't work. It's been like this for a few days. Could still be caused from stress?

This actually happens to me once in a while. Sometimes its normal, sometimes it like yours. I wouldn't be too worried about it. Hope I helped.

i started to install sims 2 to my computer. it just finished, and i restarted the computer. i didnt open anything except for sims 2, BUT theres an error. like halfway through the beginning credits, where it says "EB games challenge everything", it freezes and then a popup comes that says "The application has crashed. The application will now terminate." then when i click the OK button, Sims 2 closes! i've restarted again and opened Sims 2 again, but it keeps happening! and im really mad since i really wanted to play it. its a brand new game which we got from Toys R Us so its obviously not scratched or anything, and it didnt say that my computer didnt have enough space to run it... ugh someone help me please. im dying to play this thing.

btw my computer is a XP, and is a couple years old.. it was bought around like 2003-2004.

PS. i reinstalled this over like twice but the same thing happened. and i checked it over, and my computer seems to have enough space to run the game. and i tried playing the game while closing everything open. i even closed all my processes, and then opened sims 2 but i still cant get past the first "EA games: challenge everything" thing! UGH god help me please!

I would buy another copy. But this happened to me when I tried to install it on my old computer which was REALLY old. But then on my new computer it works. So, it could just be your computer, but exhange the game for a new one and see what happens. Hope I helped.

what are some sites that i can watch movies on!?!?

Actually, that person who answered below me spelled it wrong, it's peekvid.com. and also there's a site flickpeek.com. They're almost the same thing. Hope I helped.

i need to see what i would look like with a certain hair color. clairol.com use to have it but now its going under maintenance. where you put in a picture and you cna dye your hair on there. not put a wig on it. do any of you know of another site like this or anything?

I actually got it to work. I've been looking for something like this for so long and when I saw this I was so excited.

If you have a login, then do that first, if not, just register. It's free, and it asks for your address but I didn't use mine I just put ghasuighsagb. And it worked. haha. Hope I helped.

how come nowadays people always say that people have very good chemistry? like in So you think you can dance, a dance show on Fox, they always talk about chemistry chemistry chemistry. cant they like use another word? and what exactly do they mean when they say this

13/f

First off, I LOVE that show haha. But chemistry for dancing means basically that the partners really connected. If partners don't have chemistry, then sometimes it will look like they aren't dancing together because they aren't connecting. Even if the partners hate eachother, they have to pretend like they were either in love with eachother or just really good friends to get chemistry. Sorry if that was confusing. Hope I helped.

Hey,
Does anybody know of an effective fitness video available the internet? Like a workout or anything that i can download on my computer? Or would Youtube just be the best option?
My computer is similar to a tv, thats why it would make sense just to download one here, instead of buying one.

Thank you very much!

I think seventeen.com has workout videos. It should be under the green tab.

Im the girl with the 8 year old cousin that has Cancer. I'm also Hollister_lover09
I was wondering if any of you know some songs that are slow, sad but have a point to them. Like never take your life for granted, songs like that. Thank you so much

Skin by Rascal Flatts, it's about a girl who has either cancer or lukemia and it's really sad to me.

Live Like You We're Dying by Tim McGraw, I forgot if it's slow or not, but I'm pretty sure it is.

Hope I helped.
