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! (link)
well, first off, tanning beds are DANGEROUS they cause skin cancer just like the sun, so don't do it anymore.

put some aloe-vera lotion and try vitamin e and cocoa butter too, don't pick, I did that and it left a big splotch of scar tissue on my chest.

Mostly you just have to sit it out...


okay so i have really bad knees from playing sports and ive had 3 knee surgeries to date..( 2 on my right and 1 on my left) and i cannot seem to get rid of the scars... i hate these scars and they are so ugly any ideas on how to get rid of them?


mucho love (link)
use vitamin e and cocoa butter, but nothing's guarenteed, so it might not completely work, but it might help, pick up some "Scar Zone" too, together they might make some progress.


does anyone know any music that isnt very popular (preferable alternative, indie type bands) or even singers that really no one knows about, but you think will hit it big in 2006? im looking for brand new artists that no one really knows of!! thanks a ton! (link)
i dunno if they'll be a hit, but Louis XIV kicks ass, and so does china air, Action Action...

sift through wazee.org (I think) for some neat stuff.


okay like im really skinny but i have like a baby face and when i look down i have a little double chin is there any way to get rid of that (like exercises) without going on a diet cus im skinny enough as it is? (link)
no. (well, surgery)

having "Baby Face" is part of what makes you you, learn to love it or submit your life to low self-confidence and vanity.

my boyfriend..he used to like me a lot more in the start of our relationship [almost a month ago] and he doesnt like me that much anymore. he still likes me i know because he snuggles and talks and flirts with me and he said he didnt want to brake up [long story short-he broke up with me, we talked for like 2 seconds and he said nevermind]. so obviously he still does but in the beginning he would call me and id be like talking and he would just say 'i love you' out of nowhere nd start screaming it into the fone [lol] and he would say all this cute stuff nd everything and now he doesnt anymore

what should i do?


ps-i am the same person who said: i have a boyfriend right now for a month [in 3 days] and i feel like i like him a lot more than he likes me. the other day he broke up with me and i was like 'fine you never liked me anyway' and he said 'yes i did and i still do but whatever' after talking for like 2 seconds he called it off and we are still together. I hate being the one to like give-in in a relationship. I dont want to always worry that hes going to break up with me. I dont want to wrry about it all the time i want him to like me more than i like him!

any advice? i mena i know i/you cant change how he thinks but i dont know. thank you!


[help with both would be nice] thank you very much I LOVE YOU FOR HELPING! (link)
Well, you need to asess how much you like this guy. If you can't see your self with anyone else, and even trying to is painful, tell him how you feel about him and you and everything. If you can see with someone else fine, but don't want to dump him, wait till he decides he wants to break up again, and that's that, it's over. If when you really examine your relationship, you don't like what you see, and don't think it's worth the effort, dump him.
Don't let him jerk you around like that anymore, it isn't healthy, and giving in teaches him that he can do it.


i have a sore throat, i have these sores on my tongue and my gums are red and are like taking over my teeth. litterally. is this normal because my gums kinda hurt and its just plain scary.. can someone tell me whats wrong ? (link)
It's not normal. Consult a dentist ASAP.


Hi

I am a very confused 22 year old woman.I have never been in a lesbian realtionship before, but i have fantasized about making love to a woman. I recently just started an online relationship with a woman who is 14 yrs older than me and she has already told me that she has deep feelings for me and that she is in love with me an we have only been talking for 3 months. I do know for sure that i love her, but i want to make sure that i feel the same way cause i don't want to string her along SO HOW CAN I TELL.I can't imagine my life without her and i feel physically ill when i think of her loving someone else. PLEASE HELP.

Well, you obviously have a deep attachment to this woman, but it's not fair for either of you to claim love if you've never met. So if you haven't, you should, but meet and hang out in a public place the first few times, just incase.
There's no real way to tell if one is in love, becasue it's different for everyone, look deep inside yourself and the answer is there.


what would you do if the love of your life walked away, is never coming back, and you didnt get to say good bye? (link)
call him up to say goodbye for the sake of closure, it'll be painful, but it's necessary. Or you could write all the things left unsaid into a letter (wether you send it or not is up to you) or channel all this into something creative, put all this negative energy and feelings into a sketch or a painting or a poem. Then you need to let go. Write all your grieviences about all this shit that happened, and go to a peaceful palce where you feel relaxed and comfortable, then burn the list and let the ashes all blow away, taking your heartbreak and sadness with it.

Either way it'll get better, and everything happens for a reason, and if it's meant to be, your paths will cross again, and that will be easier to deal with of you're comftorble woth how it ended this time. Or you'll find a whole new much greater love, you never know.


Well i have a aguy thats liek me...& these is the shit he dose

-calls me
-talks to me all the time
-loves to take me to class
-oves to sit next to me in classes
-always writing me notes...& i write him note...

I can tell he likes me...but i don't like him like that...what should i do if he askes me out?? (link)

Alright. I thought since my best friend is such a good friend id make a list of 100 reasons why your my best friend. Can someone give like 25? (its a girl) Thanks I RATE 5! (link)

(link)
you can't. just keep telling her no. she prolly won't get it, but if you don't want to, don't let her annoy you into it.


Okay, I have a bf...but I like this other guy who I know doesn't like me...but latley, he's all I can think about...I'm thinking about breaking up with my bf so I can be single again, but I don't want to break up with him now becuase he already got me my christmas present, and all my friends tell me not to break up with him becuase the christmas present costs a lot of money...I don't know what I should do....any help plz!! (link)
Why would you dump a guy for a guy that has no interest in you?

you know what, you bf doesn't deserve you, so go ahead and dump him so he can find someone better for him.


Hi my parents found out I look at porn and they said they knew it was normal and stuff. Does this mean I should stop watching it? (link)
uhm, if you want to... Why would your parents not caring if you watch porn or not stop you? I mean, it's still squicky to not hide it at all (but if you don't feel like hiding, then by all means, go ahead) but why would it stop you if you like it?


Alot of people smoke weed. Even my boyfriend used to but i made him quit. Even my parents do. For some reason i dont like weed. Ive never really tried it. But knowing my parents do it makes me think bad about them. It makes me think why do they do it but they are supposed to set a good example. Most of my friends do it too. I guess im just a good girl. But my boyfriend tries to convince me that theres nothing wrong with it. And i never agree and i dont think its right. Its a drug and im ashamed of everyone that does it. I dont know why though. Is there somthing wrong with me? anything will help! but please dont leave me rude comments.

Love-KMR (link)
There is nothing wrong with you. If you don't wanna smoke pot then don't. You'll probably be healthier for it. But don't be ashamed because of others, life's too short.


Okay
So basically I live in Arizona
and it's pretty warm here year-round
& a few of my friends have heated pools and they throw x-mas/newyears pool parties.
Problem is:
I kinda lost my bathing suit and I need a new one.
Anyone know where they sell juniors (xs,s) bathing suits?
online,in stores, I don't really care.
Websites are helpful =] (link)
Try the mall? sporting stores might... or try http://www.swim2000.com/

find new buddies, if they can have other friends, you can too! Just still keep in contact if you can too, because just because they have new social lives doesn't mean they don't care about you anymore.

find another adult you trust and talk to them becuase you are right, you do need to get some help to be a vibrant healthy happy person again! If you can't find anyone, and you really feel like you may attempt to kill yourself call 1-800-SUICIDE and a trained professional will help you out, and for the love of god eat something so your heart doesn't fail or you become sterile and you die.


I do not understand the double standard that a guy cannot say, "No" to sex with out the being deemed as having problems.

In my last three relationships the women have left me because I have wanted to take the relationship slowly. Each time it has centered around the fact that I have said, "No" to intercourse.

In the last two relationships I explained before it went anywhere that I would not engage in intercourse until I felt our relationship was solid and committed. Each of the women said they thought this was wonderful and understood. I made it clear up front because the first woman I said no to was hurt and rejected. We talked about it and she said she was ready and that she had never had anyone say no to her. This is why I explained to the next two, up front, front how I felt. I do not want to hurt anyone.

When the foreplay began and it went no further than oral sex they become upset and angry with me. In the second and third relationship this has happened after only two months. I do not want to have intercourse until I am sure that we know each other well enough and that the possibility of a future exists. One that might lead to marriage. I am at that point in my life where I would like to settle down and have a wife and family. It seems as though they do not believe I am serious because they attempt to take it further each time we are together. I have to keep saying, "NO". They have asked me if I was gay, impotent, or just didn't like sex. Each time I am made to feel as though I have a problem or something is wrong with me. None of these things are true. After this happens a wall builds between us until no communication takes place and then the relationship ends.

Please help me understand why it is wrong for me wanting to wait just because I am a guy. (link)
There is nothing wrong with wanting to wait. The girls were the wierd ones, not you. and if they can't respect your wishes then they aren't worth your time.


Alright, well me and this guy have been having a long-distance relationship and I thought everything was going great, until one day he dumped me and explained to me how," he doesn't deserve me, I deserve the world and how it's what his heart was telling him and the long distance was killing him" and all that stuff, so then after that, he starts going out with a girl who lives even FARTHER ( me and him were a state away, shes two now ) and he says they connect on another level. But he says he still always thinks of me and he still loves me, but his away messages always say that he loves her and all this stuff and it's driving me nuts. I've tried getting him out of my head, I've tried not thinking of him and stop crying. ( I've been crying for two days straight now.. I'm crying right now ) and it just really hurts because this guy is so amazing and I connected with him so well and it just ended suddenly out of nowhere and I'm not used to him not calling me baby and gorgeous angel and everything.. please help... what should I do? (link)
It doesn't matter how long he stays with her. He dumped you, he lost you, sucks for him. It isn't fair for him to send you messages like that and toy with your heart, don't read anything he sends you, block him on AIM and email, burn his letters! You don't need him to know that you are geourgeous and an angel! It's time to move on, and once you move on sucessfully get over him, another even better guy will fall into your lap.
