My eyelashes are really long meaning i cant wear Mascara becuase it makes them look even longer and weird. is there any mascara i can buy (that they sell in England) that will be ok for long eyelashes and wont make them look really long? thanks
xxxx

If you have long eyelashes then there's no point wearing mascara because you don't need it. There aren't really any brands of mascara that reduce the length of your eyelashes, you would probably be better off with just a clear one. I liv in England so I know there are loads of brands that do them.

my forehead is always shiny and oilyy..

so is there anything i can use to keep my forehead shine free for the whole day? well atleast, shine free during school

i have oil blotting sheets from clean and clear, but I dont know if that would keep the oil n shinyness away for a long time

Swich all your face washes/spot creams/etc to oil free ones, that will reduce shinyness. It might be an idea to buy some sort of powder. Just get a matte powder in your skin tone (Rimmel Matte is good and not that expensive) and put it on your face using an applicator sponge every morning. That will hide any shinyness. You can also take the powder and sponge with you when you go out so you can always put more on if you need to. I've never used the oil blotting sheets but I suggest you try them, it's worth a try.

What kind of bra should I wear underneath a slik/lace tank top (specific brand would be helpful)? I see girls wearing them all the time and you can't tell they're wearing a bra! Everytime I try, my bra shows. Please help me out :)

A flesh tone/strapless/clear strapped bra will probably be your best option. If you don't like wearing a strapless bra then wear one with clear or decorative straps, you can get some really pretty ones. If it still shows then you can get something called 'Invisibra'. It's basically a plastic/rubbery bra with no back or straps. You just stick it in place and it will stay there and wont show at all.

will my tampon leak if i pee while im wearing it?

The hole you insert a tampon into is completely different to the hole you pee out of. Peeing wont affect your tampon whatsoever.

last month i got my period on the 9th ..it is now the 11th and i still havent gotten it for this month .. is there any way to not get my period after exactly a month ...and is there any way that im still going to get it for this month?

Periods aren't always regular, especially when you're going through puberty. Sometimes they are regular for a while then suddenly there is a long gap until you get your next one. You might get it for this month, you might not, it's impossible to tell. Some women's periods never even out and stay irregular but the likely hood is that yours will become more regular as you get older.

ok,when i wake up/when i change my under wear,there is yellow-white stuff in it. is that discharge? and if so how long dose it last/is it a sign of getting my period?

Yes, it's most probably discharge. You will get it for most of your life, the only time when you wont get it is during your period. It is a sign of getting your period, you will probably get it sometime in the next two years.

Im 14/Female and i havnt had my period yet. But i discharge...its heavy (been heavy) since maybe october. Not all the time though. Is it normal for it to be yellowish white? Because i will be in school sometimes and i will discharge and i will always look down to see if i had my period and i dont but its scary. When i do get my period and if im in school will it just come out when it wants to (like people could see it) that would be embarresing! Please Help Ladies! i rate high and give feedback!!!! Thank U

Discharge is generally yellowish white but it may change colour or consistency around the time you start your period.
When you first get your period I promise you, it's not like Niagra Falls or anything. It will come out gradually and it certainly wont be visible to others-unless you are wearing pale coloured underwear and trousers (pants if you're American.)
If you are still worried then I suggest you start using pantyliners. These are a bit like sanitary towels only much thinner and they sit in your underwear like a second layer. You have to change them every four to six hours and they will basically absorb discharge and make you feel fresher. They will also help when you first get your period because instead of ruining your underwear, the flow will be absorbed.

I got my prom dress todaii and its strapless...do you think it would look better to have my hair in an updo or styled down?

I think it would be best to have it down because if it was up there may be too much bare skin on show and that can look bad. If you must have it up, wear a necklace or something that balances it out.

How old do you think you should be when you lose your virginity?

There is no set age. You should lose it when you are mentally and physically ready and you're 100% sure that you want to. You should also wait until the right person comes along, don't jump into bed with the first person to look your way, wait until you're in a loving relationship. It also helps if you have reached the age of consent. (16 in the UK, 17 in the Republic of Ireland and 18 in most parts of America I believe.)

well me n best m8 av ad a massive argument ova boy i tried sayin sorry but she tld me to go away wot shall i do? plz elp luv sophie reins x

I wouldn't usually answer a question like this because the spelling is terrible but I'm in a good mood. Lucky you.

If you have apologised then there isn't much else you can do for the time being. Your friend is obviously still angry and that's fine, give her some more time to cool off. You probably said some things to each other that you both take back but she's most likely still upset about it. Leave it for a few more days and if she hasn't approached you try talking to her again. My friends and I don't really argue over boys but we have little arguments like this all the time and it always gets sorted out. Don't worry about it, just give it some time.

What is that song.. like "i will remember you, will you remember me?" whats the name of it and who sings it?

It was sung by both Sarah McLachlan and Kenny Rogers and it is called 'I Will Remember You'. The two versions are different, the lyrics aren't exactly the same. I don't know which version it is that you were after but if you heard it then you will be able to work it out by seeing whether you heard a male or female voice.

how long does it take for leg hair to grow back? I'm 13.

Well after about twelve hours it will begin to grow back with tiny spiky hairs. After about two days the hairs will probably need shaving off again. It will take about a week and a half to grow back completely.

Are girls scared of erections? I mean if you're making out and they feel one, would they be freaked out?

It depends on the girl, they would either be freaked out or very flattered.

Weird question, but okay.. do you find it normal to like someone alot that you've never met? I think that its normal to an extent- like a celeb.. but what do you think?

The truth is, no one really knows what a celebrity is really like unless they know them personally. It's perfectly normal to like a celebrity for what they appear to be but don't get carried away. Don't turn into Stan in the Eminem song 'Stan'. That guy fell in love with Eminem and wrote letters to him telling him they could be together and that he loved him. It's fine to like a celebrity but don't think anything will come of it.

I've been wanting to ask, what's emo? I've heard it a lot, but don't have a clue as to what it is, and nobody would tell me because they are such teases.

Here is the definition for emo taken from http://www.urbandictionary.com:

Punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.

is it normal for females to discharge everday?

Yes, except when they are on their period. Females will probably get discharge for much of their lives.

i was at my mates party last nite in secret(i told my mum that i was staying at my mates to study)so my boyfrend came and met me,he took me for a drive in his new car we ended up crashing we rolled over a bush and ended up upside down. i had cut on my hand and just told my mum i fell but its really painful i think theyer mite be glass in it.i cant go to the hosp cos she werks there.what can i do?

Just tell your Mum what happened and go to hospital. Would you rather your hand got seriously infected and make you very ill or you get into trouble for going against her? She will probably find out anyway and she will be angrier because you didn't tell her. Sure, you will probably get into trouble but it will work out better in the long run.

I can never eat breakfast- one because I'm a bit lazy because I'm tired and two because I'm not a big fan of it, but I know it's unhealthy not to eat it and I know you can gain weight from not eating it because then you pig out at lunch and the rest of the day. Any suggestions [besides fruit] and please note that I'm on a tight scheduale and don't have alot of time to eat or prepare it [no cereal suggestions, please]

Try eating a cereal bar or fruit bar every morning. There are many different brands and flavours to try and they are filling. You can pretty much grab one and go as they can be eaten on the move.

You spelt "Cherry" wrong, Rainbowcherrie.

At the time I joined Advicenators, I had a stupid Matmice homepage under the name of 'rainbowcherries'. When I registered here, I thought I would use the same username. For some reason I didn't add the 'S' on the end and just left it. I think 'cherrie' looks better anyway.

ok im confused at school i get made fun of alot because im smart. well normally i just bottle it up and dont do anything because im weak but what i have noticed is sometimes i will get so pissed off that if anyone who hasnt even done anything to me so much as slightly bothers me i blow up at them. i guess i just want to know how can i channel my anger more so at the ppl who piss me off because i hate blowin up at my friends but i cant blow up at the ppl that make fun of me cause im weak as shit and im just confused i dont know wut to do can someone please help me..

First off, if people make fun of you then you should talk to an adult. You shouldn't have to put up with that treatment, tell a teacher, parent, any trusted adult to get the teasing stopped. That will probably stop you getting so angry in the first place. I used to self harm when I was frustrated or angry, here are some of the things I was told to do as an alternative.

- Write something. It sounds stupid but that doesn't matter. Write whatever you like, it doesn't have to be serious, it could just be a list of your feelings, an angry poem or even a song. Anything to just release all the tension inside you.

- Scream. Seriously, this is the best way to get all the anger out of you. If it isn't convenient to do it outloud, do it into a pillow or cushion.

- Use a stress ball or punch something. Imagine that the thing you are punching/squeezing is the person who's made you angry. That is always fun.

- Draw. Anything. Just grab a pen or pencil and put everything you feel into a picture. It doesn't have to be good, it just has to be what you feel.

- Listen to the heaviest music you have on full volume and dance to it. This is strangly calming.

If you aren't in a place where you can do most of the suggestions above, just walk away and count to ten, taking deep breaths in between each number. It might not calm you down instantly but it should help.
