Well, I really love helping people with stuff, it makes me feel good, and I am going to school to be a psychologist and fashion designer(kind of, haven't decided). I'm 18 and my favorite movie right now is The Wedding Date, because the lines are really cute. Oh and I think the hottest guy ever is Spike(James Marsters) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he isn't the only hott guy I like but he is on top of the list.

I have a knack for understanding guys and girls I've been told, and thats good because I don't think I would have made it through school if I didn't.

Well hope to hear from you soon, and by the way just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I'm not mature, I may be young but I know about the world. So questions from all ages are welcome.

how do u make sweat pants look sexy? any advice *i rate 5 for any try that isnt just random* (link)
There is not really a good way to do that, unless you cut them to make short shorts or something, or have them tailored. The only thing i can think of is to where a sexy top with them, and just generally having self confidence is sexy no matter what you are wearing. Umm... maybe wera them kind of low on the waist so you have some tummy showing. I don't know how I possibly just helped you, but there ya go, good luck.



ok so i shaved "down there" the whole thing but after words i got this really itches rash and it hurts so bad i dont understand what i did wrong. i used conditioner to make it softer and after words i put lotion on it
..do you think it could be from the lotion??


ill rate high.
thanks (link)
Yeah that is completely possible that it wa the lotion. That is a very sensitive area and shaving for the first time would give youa rash anyways, and the lotion could have just made it worse. Let it heal before you shave again, and next time be very gentle, and use a lotion specifiaclly for the soothing of skin after shaving or waxing.


14/f...My friend Kate and I are crushing on the same guy, named Warren. I've only known him for about 2 weeks but Kate has known him for a whole year because they went to the same school last year. He talks to her way more than he talks to me because they are really good "friends." We both made a PROMISE that whatever happens we won't let him come between us. But whenever I see them talking I can't help but feel jealous. I know that I shouldn't be mad at her but I can't help what I feel. Please help me. I don't know what to do...in all parts of this situation.
(link)
Thats is a very messy situation, if you both keep your promises then you should not be jealous. Don't let a guy come between you, friendship id forever, and plus you cn always talk to him, make converation and maybe you and him will become better friends. If you both can't keep from feeling jealous then I would suggest that both of you try to keep your distances from him, and respect eachothers promises. Or you could see which one of you he wants to date, but I would highly suggest the distance between him and you two. Good luck, remember you two are really good friends and he is justa guy.


Ok, so me and this guy, lets call him Kyle, are THE BEST of friends. Kyle goes out with my best friend, lets call her Lauren. So they are going out but me and Kyle are such good friends, we talk about Lauren. Not behind her back really just about how she has a bad attitude towards me and he even agrees with me. Me and Kyle will pretend to "like each other" and make funny comments at church but now, im starting to feel like i like him more than a friend... I mean we even talked and he even said that we would probably go out later on in life, but he wasnt going to break up with lauren for it. And i was like "yea i know." Please dont say i need to get over him becuase its really hard... i mean hes so perfect, the sweetest guy you would ever meet, and i feel like he deserves better than Lauren! Plleaasseee help! Should i just wait on him? Because im willing to...hes that awesome! (link)
Umm... I think if he is worth waiting for yes. but really my question is why isn't he willing to break up with bad attitude Betty for his best friend, who sounds awesome. If she treats you like crap then he should have a problem with her. He needs to stand up for you and tell her back off, because you are his best friend. Maybe he thinks you don't like him back and he is waiting for you to let him know you do. I can't really tell you exactly what to do ,becaue it really your decision but, I think you should tell him you like him for real and that you are willing to wait if he and "Lauren" don't work out, but you can't wait forever. good luck


Okay, I have really bad facial acne, and have had it for about 4-5 years now. I have tried almost everything it seems, but it just won't go away! If you have any advice on acne, or even acne scars (I have both, lucky me)I'd love to know! ThAnKs!! (link)
Personally, I have noticed that chlorine seems to help, you know like swimming in a chlorinated pool. I don't know why it helps but it does. Changing your bed sheets about every 2 weeks helps a little too, it keeps the body oil from clogging your pores. Also there is a really great product called Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque, it works really well. If you are a guy them just put on the masque when no one is gonna interrupt if it even matters. Oh and you can find that masque pretty much anywhere I think. Happy blemish fighting, and if none of that works seek a dermatologist, but that stuff helped me.


My best guy friend's name is "Jay". I have liked him more than a friend for a really long time and Im too shy to tell him how i feel. He flirts with me, but it might just be "friendly flirting". I really dont know what to do, is there anyway i could let him know i like him without it being too obvious or anything else?
16/f (link)
Yes! If he flirts with you, then flirt back, and if you are already flirting back, take it up one notch. Like hug him more, play with his hair thats always good, guys tend to like that a lot. Or maybe just tell him you like him, no need in keeping those feelings all bottled up. Good luck


Ok, here's the deal:

In middle school, I got teased by these two boys on my bus. They'd yell at me from the back of the bus. So embarressing.

Anyways, they went off to high school when I went into the 8th grade, but now that I'm in the high school with them [I'm a freshmen, they're sophomores], I think they're going to start bothering me again!
What can I do/say to them to make them stop [if they try lol]


Mucho thanks (link)
It depends on what they say. The only advice I can give you is to ignore them or make them feel inferior to everybody else. If you want you can tell me what they said before, and I can give you some good comebacks, to make them feel like asses. My e-mail is dochollidaychick@yahoo.com


Ok..i love when guys play hard to get with me. Its just a turn on and everytime and guy does it..i like him even more. Well i used to like this one guy and he immediatly asked me out after he found out i liked him. That scared me and turned me off and i didnt like him nemore. Has this happened to anyone else. Please comment! (link)
I like guys that play haard to get when I am already dating them , you know flirting, being kind of coy. If you only like guys becuase they play hard to get, how are you ever going to go on a date? I think you need to take a chance and go out with the dude. I fit doesn't work out, oh well, there are plenty more where he came from right? I just don't want you to be a tease, guys can get bord with that easily after a while. Good luck and I hope things work out for you, and don't be scared if a guy automaticcally wants to date you instead of flirting around forever.


I know that to be a great singer you need a voice coach, but about how much can you do without a voice coach. I'm in an Advanced Choir, and I learn a lot there, but I can't afford more than that? (link)
You can do alot without a voice coach. If you have vocal warm ups in choir, do those at home, practice different ranges at home. I think you can probably download some voice lessons on the web. There are also books you can buy, like at Half- Price Books, they are cheap and have good selections. Good luck in your voice career.


why does sex hurt girls theyre first time??

some people have told me that its because girls are scared and the stress makes theyre body tighten up.

and then others say that its cause girls are tight and the guys are big for them.

i know this sounds stupid. but please answer my question.

=] (link)
Ok, actually all those answers people gave you are correct. Mostly its the popping of the cherry or the hymen I believe it is called. When it pops a small amount of blood comes out, but that doesn not actually hurt that much, just a littel prick of sorts. Now being nervous and tensing up will make sex uncomfortable, if you are going to do it have fun, don't stress about what you are doing right or wrong. If the guy is kinda big it will also hurt a little becuase your genitals haven't stretched and you are not used to the pressure. Sex doesn't really hurt unless you make it hurt. I wouldn't recommend sex before at least 17 and by the way I am into the no sex before marriage thing, but if you aren't thats ok, like I've said before if you are gonna do it then you are gonna do it. And if you are determined to do it, then have fun at it. Good luck, don't be scared, don't tense up, you'll be fine.


hey I really need some reassurance here....I'm like 98% positive that you can't get pregnant through oral sex but I just need to be reassured. Is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE to get pregnant through oral sex? ....I am about a week + late on my period and I haven't been late since like 7th grade. I really am concerned so please help. (link)
It depends what you did and if you swallowed spit, or what. Now if you swallowed no big deal, as long as none got near your genitals, you're good. Now if you spit in a cup or someting, you're still good, if he ejaculated on you and you don't know where it went, then you might have a problem. But my opinion is that you are just having some wacky hormone thing, that is making you a little late. Don't fret, if it doesn't come till later, if its more that 2 weeks I would buy a pregnancy test, if that is negative and you still don't have a period then I would see a doctor, you could just have a hormonal imbalance or something. Don't worry I'm sure you are perfectly fine.


do you know how much abortions are? thanks in advance! (link)
No actually I don't, and I don't recommend abortions either, but if you are gonna do then you are gonna do it, but I just wish you wouldn't, and it also depends on your situation and how it happened. I can make a guess its about $150-$250, I think that is accurate. Good luck, if you want you can talk to me, my e-mail is dochollidaychick@yahoo.com


I do 25 crunches and 25 push-ups everyday. I plan to do more as I become better at it. I am trying to eat better, also. Is there anything else I should do to lose weight? (link)
I suggest swimming, it tones all of your body, youn knoe just an hour a day or every other day is good.


Hey everyone. I'm a 13 year old girl turning 14 in about 2 months. I weigh 103 pounds, and I'm about 5'3". I'm still very unhappy with my body. I have NO butt, and my thighs are like jelly. I have a little pudge on my stomach that I want to get rid of, and I have no muscle on my arms. I have wide hips, which I'm very happy with because it makes my body look really curvy, yet I have no boobs to portion them out with. What exercises can I do to create a completly flat tummy, thin, firm, thighs, and get a butt. I also want to build some meat on my arms, and if there is any possible way, make my breast larger. I have about 6 months to get my dream body, and create my personal perfect image. What can I do?!? Thanks.

p.s. I'm also up for any diets, healthy meals, or protien drinks!

Sincerly,
Samantha (link)
You know you are only 13, some of that stuff grows until you are 20, right? And by the way, you want some curve, the perfect figure is an hourglass shape, strive for that not the completely flat eveywhere look. Boobs will grow in time, if not, there are excercises and well plastic surgery, even though I do not recommend that. Jog, or walk everyday or everyother day for about an hour, that should tone up almost everything, and swimming for an hour is good too, either running or swimming. By the way, your arms, you want them to be tone not muscled, because sometimes that can make you look more manly and thats not flattering for a girl. For arms I suggest just the whole jogging swimming thing, swimming will make them tone and good looking. Hope I helped.


What is a good love quote to put in my profile? Or any good quote doesnt have to be love....
thanks (link)
There are none so blind as those who won't see.


I always wear the same makeup, same hair. My hair is shoulder length and really dark brown. I have dark brown eyes and VERY pale skin. So...what are some ideas to make my look better (hair and makeup) (link)
I know everyone is saying get highlights, but I don't think that is too awesome, be classic and sophisticated, glamorous. Do you see a lot of celebrity's having blonde highlights with dark brown hair, no. Keep your hair natural,it will be beautiful. Tans don't fix everything either, it just depends if you want your skin to be dark or light, light can be really beauty with dark hair, like Rose McGowan. If you decide to tan, make sure not to look orange, that is unflattering. If you keep the light skin, wear blush and dark brown mascara to bring out your eyes. Any eyeshadow will do, neutrals like grey and brown create sultry eyes, Darker colors for dramatic eyes. Light shades for perky happy eyes. Most make up depends on the your skins undertones, but if you go with neutrals it should be ok no matter what you're undertones are. Lips: just some lipgloss is always good, but I would try different sheds on and see what looks best. I use reds, pinks, and clear lipgloss. Also outting your hair up in new do's and stuff can change, Don't be afraid to stick with what is good though, you wanna stay with what ever flatter your face. Hope this helped.


Today at school, during lunch, i got bored.
we guys were sitting on the bench outside and they dared me to walk up to a guy and slap him for no reason at all. Being bored, i did it and kinda slapped him harder than I intended. I am not usually a violent or mean person but that was pretty mean. It turns out he is one of those sensitive guys. ( not sensitve as in gay, more like as in easy to fell upset and has plenty of emotions.)Most guys just laugh when you do crap like that, but he almost started crying. I felt bad, and went to appologize to him but he didn't quite accept my appologies. He was saying "forget it" but he still looked all emotional.
I feel really guilty about it now and i want to know how i can apologize to him. (link)
What? Are you for real, that is the most rude thing I have ever heard of. Why would your friends dare you to do that? And are you a guy, cuz hello guys don't slap they punch. That was not cool, sorry to be all downing on you but... Come on, that was horrible, dude if girls saw you do that for no reason you are going to be out of luck with getting any nice hot girl. You just need to be straight witht the guy and tell him you are just dumbed for acepting the dare, and that you sincerely apologize. Good luck with that one, and I hope to God you never do that again.


I just want to say thank you for your advice, it made sense and I have chosen to make myself stronger. This message is copied and pasted to other advicenators because I am short on time O_x ... but I want you to know that I read everyones advice and it helped me a lot. MY decision is to continue on, like many said to make myself stronger and for the sake of not giving into my self-centered thoughts because you're all right, there are others who feel as bad or even worst than me so why am I to be like this I am not truly alone like that. By continuing on I will become stronger, someone that can maybe one day feel like I am worthy of my great family and one who will be worthy of having good true friends like the ones I so dearly wish for. You are a good person and I want to thank you for your advice and for reading my little story.

That is so awesome. It's really cool that you chose to go on instead of giving up, it takes a strong willed person to do such a thing. This is gonna sound dumb, but I am proud of you. Thanks for replying that was nice.


My dance iz comin upp!! i have to choices on wat to wear.. I could wear RIPPED JEANS N A SHIRT or A SHORT SKIRT WITH SOME HIGH HEELS. what would you perfer? (link)
I think you should wear the ripped jeans, cute/sassy shirt and the heels. Heels and jeans are hot.


My question is that I have that rare skin that is called Chicken Skin. It when your skin has little bumps all over your body they are kind of noticeable. Well I was wondering if anyone has this kind of skin and how do they deal with people constantly staring at you like you are a freak or something. Is there any way of getting rid of this kind of skin condition so that I can have normal skin like everyones and not feel like a freak. I don't like to wear T Shirts or anything that will should my skin. I did once in high school and this one guy made me cry in class because he was staring at me and poking me and talking loud in class so everyone would want to look. Ever since then I have been scared to wear T Shirts again because I don't want history to repeat itself. What should I do to over come my problem? But most of all I just would like to have normal skin so I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore. (link)
I think there is a laser treatmant that you can get to lighten or remove, look into dermatology and cures, I think the laser thing is the only solution though, but it never hurts to look. Good luck.
