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

I am very skinny and some people make jokes even my so call friends. I am 19 5'3 and my weight is 108. My friends say I need a body like them cause they are thick with ass and chest. I heard about caltine bars but where do you buy them.

you shouldnt need to be like them. theyre very insecure of they want you to be like them and they obviously dont care about you.

Im doing a spanish project and I need to know what kind of cultural foods do people in guatemala eat for breakfast?

they eat lots of fruit. as far as i know all south american countries either eat a really big breakfast or a really light one.. i think its a light one because lunch is their main meal so i believe they eat like fruit with bagels and light stuff like that.. like no pancakes or anything

Does anyone know where I could find some comforters for a teenager? My moms been bugging me for so long about this and I've already seen MACYS.COM, JCPENNYS.COM AND SEARS.COM and i cant find anything that i like! Help please?

besides the ones metioned below (they are good ones) i didnt see anyone metion pbteen.com they have really cute stuff. its kinda pricey but def really cute! also they dont tell comforters that muchs. they have devet covers or whatever they are called which are like comforters they just arent like warm. also try online sites like demestoications (not sure the exact site you might want to search it) that is where i got mine and i love it! especially check out the clearace part on there, they have some of the cute summer ones really cheap and those ones were my fav of all.


did you try kauffmans web site? im not sure if you have heard of them or not.. its the same thing as macys basically or kohls.com?

There is a guy who i've just recently became really good friends with this year. Last year he was in one of my classes and we barely talked, but this year we ended up being in four classes together and became really good friends. Plus I found out he lived three houses away from me and we hung out once in a while.

He has a crush on one of my friends, a cheerleader who told me she wasn't interested in him at all and thought he was annoying. He told me she was sending mixed signals, flirting with him then ignoring him. She wanted to hook him up with someone else so he would leave her alone. But she was too nice to tell him that, so she wanted me to hook up with him or at least find someone else to. I was like, wtf? I thought that she was being a little rude when she said that, especially trying to push my friend on me just because she didn't want him liking her.

The next day, he was asking me whether or not he had a chance with her and i debated between telling the truth or saying I had no idea, because on one hand, if i told the truth, he might move on and she wouldnt complain so much , but then I might hurt his feelings. But I finally told him to "get over it" because she thought his actions were annoying and she wanted to hook him up with someone else.

Is what I did right? He seemed a little upset when he heard that she wanted him to go out with someone else, but got over it quickly. I'm afraid I might have hurt his feelings though he didn't say it. Was what i did right? Or was I just meddling in someone else's business? Because if I didn't do anything about it, she would have been too nice to tell him to his face that she didnt like him and keep leading him on.

you did the right thing.. and besides you cant go back. the presure shouldnt have been put on you anyway. you did all you could

OKay im 15/f and im between 7-15lbs over weight and i want to loose a bit of weight off of my upper thighs, stomache, hips and lower back and maybe tone my upper arms up a bit?

i eat pretty healthily now its just the excercises im stuck with
but also diet plans might help?

i no u get questions like this all the time but i would appreciate your help! websites also help

well when you are on diets you cant really control where you lose weight. i recommend either joining a gym or using a school gym.. i joined 1 for only 2 weeks and i used machines that worked the areas i wanted to work and i really had good results. just make sure you like loose weight from like running before you work out because when you work out that fat will turn to muscle or just go away but if you dont loose a few pounds before that all that muscle will return to fat

15/f For the past 9 years i have been constantly bullied and since september 05 i have been homeschooled. the bullying was to much for me to handle it was literally every one! and no im not over reacting. if it was a few people i would of been able to deal with it but it was groups of people from each year in my school.
And i would sit in my classes with every one chanting names at me, dont get me wrong i often fired back with comments about there bad points but i felt so mean, im not the sort of person to bully or be nasty!

I was born with cleft lip and pallette and of course i had operations to correct it but i have a few scars and so on.
I used to get comments like.. fish lips, bulldog, lipricorn, half moon and so on and i still get them every now and again when i go out.

but now i have no friends what so ever except for the people i speak to online as all the friends i did have have now turned against me and joined in with the bullying!! YEH GREAT MATES RIGHT?? erm no.

The thing is i feel so ugly, i know im not ugly ugly but im not exactly pretty either and its getting me down! what can i do to give myself the confidence boost i need?

thats horrible. my cousin was born with that but of course he cant be bullied because hes only 10 monthes old! but anyway try to get some makeup that will cover it up.. and get a new hairstyle and clothes.. it will really boost your confidence. maybe you can talk to your parents about either somehow trying to get you transfered to a nearby school where you can get a fresh start or move.. im sure you can barely tell now and they just bullied you because they remeber the old you and dont want to accept the new you. a fresh start would really help you!

15/f/ENG ..... Since september 05 i have been home schooled due to major bullying. i would love to be able to go to a mainstream school but its completely impossible for me.

so now im missing out on core subjects because of IMMATURE KIDS making my life a living hell. Its not fair and im worried about my grades.
i have amazing tutors... english tutor and a maths tutor each week but im missing out on all the other subjects and i really dont want to do poorly on my exams as i want to get a good job when i leave school.

does any one have any advice or sites on how i could help myself to try and boost my grades myself? im too young to get into colleges and universitys ive already tried and private schools are not an option as they are wanting £4,500 per term and thats like £16,000 per year!


so sites for education help/advice for the UK please? i will appreciate it sooo much xx

try local colleges like if you have community colleges they offer highschool courses that you can take like at night.. they are usually ment for people who are like failing and prob wont grad. without them but they can really help you out too! im not sure if you have SATs in the UK but basically its a test that tells you how well you score on like tests and colleges look at it. well i have a probgram i can give you the name of it if your interested and you take a like pretend sat then it tells you where you struggle and gives you like lessons plans and problems and stuff to help you. why dont you do cyber school? its like homeschooling online and they have everything there! my friend even learned italian in her cyber school. i think its kinda expensive (like $4000 in american money a year) but most school districts will pay for it

okay so i went to the doctor and i have a problem with my knee and have to wear this huge ugly brace over my pants, its big ugly and soo bulky looking. i want to know if people will like point and stare? and will people think its ugly? and is it stupid to be like nervous to wear it in front of people?

dont worry no one will.. besides maybe your friends but you have to remeber theya re just joking.. i know exactly what you are talking about and i see tons of people wearing them around school through out the year and no one gets made fun of

im 15/f. i weigh about 118 or 119. im trying to lose 10 pounds! (dont tell me i dont need to, i live by the beach i really do.) anyways, i do really well with the exercising part, but when it comes to eating i cant help but eating even when im not hungry. i wont be hungry or anything and ill just go get a snack, and its not good! how do i stop myself from doing this? thanks.

see if your parents will get you those baby locks for cabinets.. i know it sounds dumb but it will accually make you think before you get the food and give you time to decide if you want it. also have your parents buy things that you can snack on that wont make you gain like any weight.. like veggies and if you do drink pop now stop.. i was at the doctor today and she said woman gain an average of 17 pounds a year drinking 1 can of pop a day

I recently broke my arm, however, I'm getting very close to when my cast comes of. When it comes off my arm will be very weak and I will have very little muscle. Therefore, I will have to go to physical therapy. Can anyone tell me what it's like? What kind of excerises will I be doing? Also will carrying my school books strain my arm? Thanks.

although they say its weak it prob wont be as week as you might think. for the first day or to it might be kinda sore but that pain will quickly go away. at therapy they will make you do exercises like sqeezing balls and stuff. just simple things that you would normally do and prob not even notice

My sister-in-law is getting married and moving away at the end of the month. I've only known her for a year now, and we've just started to bond. I'm really upset and depressed that she's moving and I want to do something for her. The problem is, I don't have a lot of money, or any idea what I should do or what I should get her.

Does anyone have any ideas of something special we could do together before she leaves, or something I could give to her? I really want whatever I do to make an impression, and I'm going to miss her a lot.

I'll leave more information if anyone needs it.

edit:: i saw someone say it was expesive.. accually it can be rather cheap. even if you want something fancy.. it just depends on where you buy it. like i saw in a catolog yesterday then had a kit to make like a 40 page scrapbook for $10. just remeber buy it in bulk or a kit will prob be cheaper and nicer than just buying like 1 or 2 peices of paper at a time



make a scrap book of times you were together or pictures of you guys and your family and stuff so when she leaves she can remeber one.. and maybe add some lyrics to the page about like sister bonds or something.

This semester, I have decided to take AP US History. Today was the first day of school. When I got to that class, my teacher started off saying that:
1. homework would take at LEAST 2 hours a night, not including time for studying
2. if we had a hard time reading and comprehending -which I do-, that our grade will suffer greatly
and
3. we are required to read books outside of class that she assigns throughout the semester

When I first heard all of that, I got upset: I knew that I would suffer a lot in this class. I'm a horrible and slow reader, and she said that chapters frequently would have to be read in one night. I'm planning on telling my dad all of this tonight and asking him if I can switch into honors world history instead, but I don't think that he will want me to. How do I convince him that I will fail this class, or possibly get a C or D? By the way, he always tells me stuff like "you're the smartest kid I ever met", meaning that he won't accept me not taking the highest level class.

i recommend dropping it.. i cant really help you with what you want but i know people it in now that are like genouses that are failing. im in honors world history and i think its way easier than the class you are in. it truely is exactly what she explained.. i mean its a college course.. tell him what i said. tell him you arent ready for that kind of commitment yet and you have other things in your life and you dont think you are going to succede in the class. i thought when you drop class your dont have to have parental consent?

If i do 30 sit ups today and each week increase by 5 how fast will i have a flat stomach? im 140 ilbs. and im 5'0..and if it will take long then what should i do..

it all depends. changes are it will take you a long time besides the fact taht sit ups are bad for your back(do crunches) im 115 5'0" and ive been doing 250 crunches a week for like 2 years and i have a somewhat flat stomach but nothing like a six pack. your sit ups are basically inifective. now even if you are doing 30 a day i still think thats not enough. i no a girl that did over 1000 a night and it took her like 6 monthes to get a flat stomach. i would recommend doing atleast 100 a day

I want to become a nicer person and stop judging people and gossiping about them behind their backs. I constantly find myself doing these things even after I promised my self that I wouldn't. I've lost friends because of me being like this, and I want to be someone others can trust and be someone they can call a good friend. Do you guys have any tips on how to become that type of person?

keep repeating it to yourself.. and pause before you ever talk.. that would give you time to think about what you are saying before you say it.. it really takes alot of time and displine but it will happen. try doing around the house first like tell your parents or siblings to make you give them a dollar or something for everytime you gossip or say something negative abotu soemone in your house.. eventually it will help you control what you say to other people. eventually you will grow out of it too. its like a huge middle school thing and even early highschool but eventually its gets old and everyone just kinda stops

One of my close male friends and I email each other. We are just friends, but he sent me an email that made me think that he may like me more. Well I told him in an email that I got 8 inches cut off my hair, and that is was really short now.
He sent me an email back and said " I can hardly WAIT to see your new look, and now you can show off you sexy neck".
Do you think this means he likes me more than a friends?

i wouldnt think so.. alot of friends like to joke around like that. if he keeps saying stuff like that to you maybe he doesnt but i think its to early to tell by just that

Okay so i have an ipod nano, and i want the album cover for the songs i buy to show up how do i do that because its not doing it atomatically...

Thanks ♥

it depends on where you get the song from. if you are getting it from itunes it sould automatically show up.. if your using something else like limewire i dont think you can get it to show up unless the file you are downloading was once from itunes

i went to a tanning bed..the second i got off my skin was red. so i figure "well im just hot" nope..this is a BAD burn. what do i do? its going to hurt so bad and have that deep itch. i want to cry!

try using aloe vera anything.. i have a lotion but i know you can buy soaps with it and stuff.. the lotion really works wonders for me.. also they make a sunburn spray. also ive noticed tanning bed burns dont hurt as much as reg burns.. prob b/c they arent as bad as you think they are.. especially if your a little tan already. maybe try a room temp-cold bath. . also try a pain med. like tylonol or asprin to get rid of the pain. it helps a little and if you have poison ivy med. rub it on you. i know you do have poison ivy but it has anti itch stuff it it. also if you are in your own home or whatever i recommend wearing mittons around. it will keep you from scratching yourself as much and dont tan for atleast 4 days!

so i tried out for my first musical, actually my first anything, and i found out from some people that i was not a good singer at all. i think it was cause i was really nervous but i mostly think its just cause i dont sing good.well i always wnated to get a careerer in acting and theater like that. i just want advice/ your opinions about if i could still pursue my dream to be famous in theater even if i do sing horribly. because that same friend told me that i was amazing at acting. thanks!

some people find bad singing funny. i mean you see it in comedy shows all the time.. you can always persue your career in acting. if you want to be famous i would recommend singing lessons just because it adds something that people look for. i mean if you were looking for an actor for your show wouldnt singing just be a plus? and singing also builds confindence and will help you acting skills and voice quality.
