hey all this question is for everyone so you're all welcome to answer it my mom tells me to let my nails grow but i have this bad habit of biting them do you know of any i could stop biting my nails i'll rate high for good and reasonable answers.

i recommend you get acrylic tips...you can get them any length and they will look nice so you dont want to bite them off and they are about $25 for a full set. and it's kinda hard to take them off and if you do it hurts. i bite my nails but i got acylic tips and i stopped the habit. it's awesome. hope i helped. take care. x3 SweetStar.

so me and my sister were messing aroudn with out hair one day and we decided to trim mine because we were bored but she ended up cutting a few inches off.. and i want it to grow back but idk how to make it grow faster or like if theres a shampoo i can use or something

HI in a magazine it said that heat makes hair grow faster thats why in the summer you have to shave a lot and everything. it works the same way with your hair. so wash it and blow dry it and it should help. hopei helped. take care. x3 SweetStar.

well about a month ago over spring break i was at a friends house (a guys) with my 2 friends (girls) we got drunk so bad that i had to call my parents to take us to the hospital. my friend (a girl, lets call her lucy) well lucy was so small (shes like 4'11) she had to get her stomache pumped and if not she would have slipped into a coma.. everyone at our school found out and even the teachers. lucy's grounded until homecoming next year and my other friend (the girl, lets call her stacy) stacy is still grounded until who-knows-when. but my guy friend who's house i was over at (lets call him ben) well me and ben had sex..i had had sex before w. my other boyfriend of one year and im only 14, we never used condoms but i noticed that i havent gotten any bigger.. i mean i only weigh like 110 lbs. and im like 5'1. but i got kicked off the track team, my teachers all hate me, everyone thinks im a slut..but no one really cares. im considered "popular" to a lot of people and im grounded for a long time...i just dont know what to do--where do i start? thanks...umm yeah

Hey. first let the people know that it isn't any of their busniess to care what have happened. if you are truely talented and is a good student then they shouldnt hate you for nothing...if you felt like you were ready for sex then thats you decision and that just because you did doesnt mean that you're a slut. you have to let them know that that was your decision and come on we 14-16 year olds just wanna have fun so why not let us be yah kno? consider talking to your track coach and teachers about this whole situation if you can and see what happenes...but other than that as long as you have your true friends there i dont see what you need to do...it's you life and live life the way you want to and forget about what other say about your actions. i hope i helped. i'm not really good at this. lol Take Care! x3 SweetStar.

Well i put some blonde streaks in my hair and ive got like one side which is quite gingery and the other is really blonde! lol i dont know what to do i cant go out like this it looks such a mess please help xxxx lush me xx

Hey since it's newly dyed the magazine seventeen i believe it was said to wash your hair with dish washing soap because it's high in PH or something like that and it can take out some of the coloring but i wouldnt do that tho...lol you can have mom or someone go out and get you some dye and dye it back to your natrual hair color and wait about 3 days before you should redo the blonde streaks. but make sure you deep condition well so it doesnt look dried up. hope i helped. take care! x3 SweetStar.

I just finished crying, letting it all out. All because of my parents. I'm making 14 very soon now, but when I was 12, I broke my virginity with this guy, and my parents told him not to call at all and not to come over. I admit, he was a bad influence, and he didn't care about me. But I learned so much from that. After that happened, I have been through numerous realationships, lasting anywhere from a week to 10 months. I matured very, very fast too. I have learned about all kinds of guys during that time, and I don't trust ANYONE now.I am currently in a serious relationship with a guy in his late 20s. He treats me so good. Never says a bad word to me. He says he's still shocked at how I am so mature for my age and says he's never met anyone as "real" as me before. The thing is, we can't go anywhere together. And I'm tired of letting good guys who're interested have to pass me up because my parents don't know me and think I don't know anything. I'm not saying I know it all, but I have been a street girl, and I know what it's like. i don't want that. I'm ready to settle down with one person. No cheating. And my age is what everyone looks at. Tonight I couldn't even go to a fair because "I'm too young to be out at night with 3 other girls." My parents don't know me. They don't know ANY of the things I have been through. I want to know how I can tell my parents that I feel too sheltered? It's not just that. My parents don't seem to understand that if they get me a cell phone, then they can stay in touch with me no matter where I am. They always try to keep me home. They won't even let me go to a high school dance, and I'm going there now. How can i tell them that age is anything but a number, and it's my maturity that counts? I'm sorry you had to read all that, but my life is getting very miserable, and I don't know what to do. I'm thinking a counselor...but I don't know. Please help and thank you.


Oh, and sorry if you misunderstand the part where I say i can't go anywhere with the guy in his 20s. I know why I can't go anywhere with him, it's illegal, but I can't go ANYWHERE with any boy, no matter what age. Many, many, endless scores of boys have asked me out to skating rinks and bowling alleys and three asked me out to the fair tonight. But I can't go because I'm "13".
Thanks again.

hey hun okay to me you sound very mature for a 13 year old i have to say because at 15 i know i dont think like that lol...anyways alright lets get to it. i would highly say talk to your parents about all this. sit them down and be like mom, dad can i please have a word with you guys...i dont know if you know this or not but just because i'm 13 i kinda been through a lot of things that many 13 year olds haven't. i know i'm young but the thing is that i'm mature... ever since what happened i learned alot from that mistake and mature very quickly. and see what they say. do they know that you are in a serious relationship with a 20 year old? then you have to look at things from their poin of view too...they might decided that you can't go out with a guy is that they dont want you to get hurt again from before you know? they've become a bit more protective because they love you and dont want you to be harmed. definitly talk to them about what you told me if you feel comfortable enough to and see what they have to say. i'm not the best at this but my parents are the same way and i'm 15. they are just very protective because who knows your friend can be trying to hurt you. let your parents know who your going to hang out with and fill them in on things and on top of that show them that you are mature enough to handle things too. like i said i'm not the best at this but i hope i helped you out at least a bit. if you need anything else or something let me know. my inbox if open for you! lol Take Care hun. hope everything goes well! x3 SweetStar.

i need some cute ideas for make up on the beach like what to put on and what to leave in my make up bag. i already know that lip gloss on the beach is a no-no

if it helps i have brown/blond&hot pink highlights hair and green eyes

hey. babe i think having sunscreen is the only thing you need at the beach...it has a natural beauty to it at the beach so why not show some of your natural beauty instead of makeup and leave that for indoor events? if not keeping it neutral is good. hope i helped. Take Care. x3 SweetStar.

I bought a shirt from Abercrombie today and washed it when I got home (I don't like how their clothes smell). Well, when I got it out of the dryer, I noticed that I accidently grabed a Large and it's wayy too big. I don't know if they'll let me exchange it since it's been washed. What do y'all think? I can't just forget about it becasue it was a 48 dollar shirt.

Hey yes you can return it...they really wont know it's washed...haha you actually did them a favor by making it smell pretty. your gonna look fabulous! lol hope i helped. Take Care. x3 SweetStar.

When i wash my hair the day after it gets really greesy! any ideas what i can do to make it not ask greesy or not at all?
thanks a bunch
will rate

hEY! i recommend you wash your hair every other day like i do...because then it wont get greasy or nothing. hope i helped. take care! x3 SweetStar.
[EDIT] you said that you wash it the day after it gets all icky...then try washing it everyday...it shouldnt be like that if you dont sweat a lot. make sure you wash and blow dry and if can get it out of the way like putting it up sometimes...and sometimes hair can be effected by the things you eat. not saying you eat a lot of greasy foods but a healthy diet can make hair healthier less greasy and shiney.

Okay I have two questions. One, how do you kiss? Like I know everyone kisses differently, but what are the basic steps to starting out.. does that make sense? Oh and I mean french kissing, not just regular. And then, what are some special techniques that a guy would like during kissing? From personal experiences, or whatever, just what do you think a guy likes when it comes to that. Thanks a lot!

hEY! well to french kiss is just using your tongue but not too much that it makes it very messy you know. Okay like basic i would say you would tilt your head a little and lean in and kiss...lol and what a guy would like could be rubbing his back during that or something like that. i'm not a guy lol so i wouldnt really know. personal experience i do is usually just have my arms on his shoulders. lol hope i helped o_0 if you need anything else or that isn't enough let me know. Take Care. x3 SweetStar.

I'm a female in my early twenties. My brother-in-law has a wife, who he married last year. I was jealous of everytime he was in a serious relationship. Now, he's married, I'm even more jealous. Now he's having his second child with his wife, whom I'm not comfortable accepting yet. My husband and I are also planning to have a child as well, but I am not pregnant with my second child yet. Sometimes I hate it when people do better than me. Especially people I don't like. My brother-in-law doesn't really talk to me and his wife I don't really like, yet I have to learn to accept her. Is it normal to be jealous of other people's good news? I'm acting like my brother-in-law is my blood brother, or something. I also came from a small family where I was always put first, and when someone has good news that happens to them, then it's not all about me anymore. Does the way I was raised have something to do with this? I love it best when I was the ONLY daughter-in-law in the family.

hey. yes i agree it could be that the way you are raised cause you to be jealous of them but it's okay it's normal...i mean yeah you were always put first and now you are not getting any attention but it doesnt make them better then you either. just because they have their second child doesnt mean you wont have one soon...and think of it this way...if you dont like them then who cares about them...you are great and compare to them there is no competition...you just want to take things slow and give it some time before you get pregnant again...no worries and like what they said they will be jealous of you too...but as for now just because your not pregnant make them be jealous of you in a different field. tis' alright to feel how you are. i hope i helped. Take Care! x3 SweetStar.

I just bought a shirt from Urban Outfitters and I got the smallest size of the shirt but it was still really long! Like to the bottom of my lower back & butt! I dont know what to do because the rest of the shirt fits good all around. Will shrinking it make it shorter? If not, what else can I do? If I should shrink it can someone give me specific instructions how? Thanks!! Ill rate 5's and give feedback =)

hi by washing it a few times and drying it in the dryer will eventually shrink it. if you dry it in high heat about twice it should be shorter because thats how some of my shirts are they are really long and then they became the perfect length after about two-three washes and dryed in the dryer. hope i helped. take care. x3 SweetStar.

Hi. I'm going through some pretty heavy and confusing stuff right now.

When I was younger, this guy and me had sort of an open relationship, and we had sex one time.
I found out i was pregnant a while later, and I had an illegal abortion.

I didn't tell anyone, not even him. I had an illegal abortion. Then the reality of what i had done started to sink in. That was about a year or two ago, and it haunts me to this day. After i told him, he was comforting, but later got mad at me because I didn't come to him.

I realized the only reason i had an abortion was because I was terrified of what people and my family and friends would think of me. That was so stupid. Since I didn't tell anyone, I only had my thoughts to rely on.

Now I regret that so much. My heart is so heavy with dread and hate for myself. I am starting to get a very urge to once again get pregnant and produce another child. I feel empty. This is not a case of trying to keep a relationship together. This is about me. I've thought about it and I know I can do anything for my child.
But I'm still in school and care very much for my education. I would never let anything get in the way of my education, but this is.

I'm finding this urge so uncontrollable I cry EVERY night because I don't have a crying baby to soothe. I never really wanted to give my baby up like that. i was just scared and didn't know who to turn to.
I'm wondering, what is this feeling making me want another child? I really do, and I can't stress that enough. I want to know, should I follow this urge to try and release the heavy feeling on my heart and fill the empty hole in me?, or should I keep it inside and try to get over it and put it behind me? Please try to help, this is a difficult time. Thanks.

Hi i understand how you feel about this. It is very hard to give up a baby like that but i understand why you did. You said that you are still in school and i know and want you to have a good education too...i would suggest you have a baby after you get out of school...if not how else will you raise a child, you know? and i understand you feel the guilt inside...tell yourself that you will make all this up after school ends because if you dont get a diploma how else will you be able to get a good job and raise that baby. so finish school and then you can have as many children as you want =) your young and dont let one mistake take you down. let yourself know that yes i made a mistake but i'm not going to do it anymore. this seems like a very important thing so no matter how you wont be able to forget this...i give you best wishes. i hope i helped. let me know if you need anything esle =) take care. x3 SweetStar.

He was my first serious boyfriend and we did everything for each other.. But one day he cheated on me.. And its been about 2 months and every since then he's been denying it .. But i know he did and i know he just didnt want me to know but for the past 2months he;s been telling me he loves me and is sorry for everything.. Last night we went for a walk on the beach :) And he told me he loved me and cared about me and i know he wasnt lying.. And one of my xbfs Dan likes me again dont get me wrong i still care about him and what not but dan is taking me to prom and i didnt tell the other one.. and he said if i ever get back with dan he is never talking to me again.. But im deff. going to prom but i dont want to hurt dan because last time i left him for my other boyfriend.. which is the first guy i was talking about.. Should i just tell the first one im going to prom with dan and see how he reacts.. and see what happends from then on?! please help...

hi did you try to talk to him about the whole cheating situation? let him know that hey you know how would you feel if i went to prom with dan? and be like we're just friends and everything so if you really trust me you wouldn't have a problem with me going right? and take it from there. if he gets mad be like why isnt that i trust you and believe you when you say things and that you dont believe and trust me? but dont start a fight though. and you said that he said if you ever get back with him...you are just going to prom with him i dont think it should be a problem. let me know if you need anything else. hope i helped! take care. x3 SweetStar.
