advice

ok i just got contacts about two weeks ago. they are the "trial" contacts... i have been trying everyday to put them in but i just cant get them in... i have VERY small eyes. and im not trying to be mean when i say this but they are about the size of chinese eyes. i need help. how am i suppost to wear them if i cant get them in and i dont want to go back to wearing glasses either. i have tried every possible way to put them in but they just wont go in. please help me!!!!!!!!

i had the same problem, but trust me contacts are sooooo worth the time it takes to get them in. i tried many ways they told me, and they didn't work at all, so it helps to develop your own way of putting them in depending on ur eyes. like for instance, they told me to look away while putting them in, but it turns out my eyes "like" it better when i look strait ahead when putting them in. Also it helps to use the opposite hand to put it in, and use the other one to hold your lid up ((they teach you to use the same hand side as your eye to put it in))Also make sure your eyes are really moist before putting them in, and since your eyes are small give yourself as much space as you can to put the contacts in....remember the stratigie to getting contacts in is develping your own way of getting them in

Okay Field hockey starts in like 2 weeks. Im really not good at running so i ran yesterday and today to try to get back into shape. The problem is,I just cant do it. I have this sharp pain in my chest and i cant breath. Yes i have astma but my inhaler doesnt work. Im going to continue to run tomorrow and friday but saturday i have a cookout and sunday im going away until next monday , and than that following tuesday i have to go to practice. I dont know what to do. Im scared im going to fall behind in running. Any advice such as breathing techinuqes or what helps you run better. Thanks in advance :]

as for the chest pain and breathing, thats just a sign of being outta shape--i always get that when i am. I would recomend that you keep running every day up until pratice so during it you dont hurt...

i found this, im not sure if it will help but its worth a shot: http://www.mamashealth.com/run/breath.asp

Okay, well today I'm going to the movies with a couple friends, nothin' big. But I've been putting on my jeans and some of them don't fit and others really show my love handles. I'm not fat or anything, i don't have any fat on my body really just my love handles, and my butt's pretty big. So I was just wondering how to get rid of the love handles, would just running help or is there other exercises, I know eat right obviously, but what else?

pilates -spelling?

excersize tapes are best for what you are talking about

16/f
i stayed with one of my friends monday night and we were watching a movie but she fell asleep before it went off and her brother walked by and saw me by myself and asked me why i wasnt asleep yet because it was like around mindnight. i told him i wasnt really that tired and i couldnt fall asleep yet and he asked me if i wanted to come play ps2 with him in the living room and i said sure. well, were playing and all of a sudden he put his hand on my inner thigh and like started rubing but he was still looking at the tv. ive had a crush on him for like a year so i scooted closer and he moved his hand so he could put his fingers under my shorts. i cant really remember exactly how it happened but we ended up fooling around until aorund three but we didnt have sex. well then tuesday before i left that afternoon some girl came over and picked my friends bro up and she said it was his gf and i didnt even know he had one so now i feel really bad but is it really even my fault? i mean, he knew he had a gf and i didnt. isn't it his responsibility to tell me had a gf and he made the first move so waht to do? sorry its so long.

Its definatly not your fault, it was his responcibility to tell you he had a gf and if he didn't then its his fault...yea it might make you feel guilty, but you had no way of knowing...

well i have this friend katie who i've known all my life. we used to be really good friends, but a couple years ago things changed. she became all obsessed with being popular, and only hung out with me when there was no one "better" available. eventually i gave up on our friendship. well, now things have changed again. we're in cheerleading together, and i guess now i'm cool enough for her. she's always calling me and wanting to hang out. now, i'm not a mean person and i'm really not resentful about how she acted before. i actually wouldn't mind hanging out with her sometimes, just to be nice. but the problem is, she has gotten a really bad reputation. she offers to give guys blow jobs at school, sends half naked pictures of herself to guys, and a lot of people think she's a total skank. so i'm kind of worried about hanging out with her cuz i don't want to get that kind of reputation. i usually just make excuses why i can't do stuff with her. but i'm afraid if i keep doing this, it will seem like i think i'm better than her or something. or that i'm mad about the way she treated me before (which i'm not). it's really important to me to be a nice person and i usually try to hang out with everyone, no matter what "group" they're in or what other people think of them. but i'm just not sure how to handle this one. if i start hanging out with her, will i get a bad reputation?

If you do hang with her people might start assuming your a skank also, thats just the way people are, but if you want to be friends with her you shouldn't worry about your rep...plus if people already know you they won't assume your like her. If your really stressing about this then i would suggest hanging with her in a place on the down low so people dont have to know about it.

how can you make brown eyes really stand out. they're not deep brown just idk brown?
i really want them to stand out.majorly.

any make up ideas?

i have brown eyes and heres what i use: ((it definatly makes them stand out))

-black eyeliner on the upper lid
-white eyeliner on the inside of the lower lid (it makes eyes bigger and hides eye redness)
-brown eyeshadow (but other good colors for brown eyes are: purple, grey, and orangy tones)
-black mascara

it seems like alot, but the end result is awesome...

Alright, well I know hair straightners damage your hair. But I was reading a magazine once and it said that Jennifer Aniston uses some straightner, barbar? Or something along those lines, and it said something about how the plates actually moisturize your hair?


Anyone have any input to this?
Or know any other hair straigthners that would give postive effects to your hair, other than negative?



Anything is much appreciated! =)!

there arnt any straiteners that dont damage your hairs moisture, but i would recomend Pureology Glossing Mist:

https://www.salonsavings.com/detail/720009/

it works sooo good, all you have to do is spray it before you straiten your hair, it keeps the moisture, and makes it shiny. (it also de-frizzes)
Its kinda expensive, but youll love it, and it smells really good and lasts long...

"tommorrow never knows"

hi. I have an 11 year old brother and i can't stand him and i am 14. He makes messes and he makes me so mad like he is trying to make me freak out. I try to ignore him but that doesn't work. Sometimes i have to babysit him and i really can't stand that. Ok this is going to sound gross but it is true. About a month ago I had a dream that someone was touching my boobs. It felt real so i told my friend. Later my friend told me that that wasn't a dream my little brother was touching my boobs!I almost barfed. That is so gross!! I have not told my mom this because she wouldn't believe me. I really don't want to live with him. How can I explain this to my mom with her believing me and how can i make this all stop?HELP!!!

OMG!! i feel for you, im 15 and have a 12 yr old brother and he drives me INSANE. Ive tried everythingggg and unfortunatly, nothing you do is going to get him to stop except maturity, try to deal with it for a couple more years...thats what im doing.

hey. well, i'm 14/f. and this year i'm going to be going into high school. and i'm really scared about being around all of the older kids and stuff, but thats not what i'm most scared about. i'm scared about sex. this probably sounds really stupid to some ppl, but i don't care. i really want to wait until marraige, but there is so much pressure in high school, i don't want to do something i know i don't want to do. i mean, i don't even know if i'll have a boyfriend or anything, but if i do, i want him to be someone who won't pressure me. how can i have good judgement. please help. and any other good advice about high school will be much appreactiated. thanks a bunch!!!!

First off, dont worry about the upperclassmen. Unless you come off as really easy to get, they wont even pay any attention to you.

Also just say no if your not ready...and look for guys with a good personality that you know wont force you into doing something you wouldn't want to do...

okay so i've had love handles for years. and a somewhat flabby stomach. i really want to lose my love handles, my waste is so wide, and i look horrible in some bikinis because of my stomach and love handles. ive got 2 months of free time. i want the best way to get rid of love handles. im already eating healthy and i go bike riding every other day for an hour, and the days that i dont im going on my trampolene or swimming. but i just cant lose the love handles, and i really want a flat stomach.

You should do crunches, that is what will help flatten your stomach...and often gyms have local ab classes and areobics. Also you could buy a workout tape at a store.

I'm really insecure and self-contious about dancing. Whenever I'm at a school dance I try to avoid dancing as much as I can and it's not fun. I've actually stayed home from 5 dances in a row because I'm afraid to dance in front of people. Why? Because I can't dance.

Taking dancing lessons is not an option. I just wanna learn how to have fun and look good and know that I don't look like an idiot. Does anyone have any like easy to follow instructions or online videos that are easy to learn? I can't buy anything.

Any answers are appreciated. Thank you so much.

if your looking for dance moves and stuff you could go on youtube, its free and people post many dancing tutorials...but rather else maybe you could just pratice in front of a mirror or something until your comfortable

does anyone know anyone know of any really good hair straighteners that aren't super expensive? also know any good techniques for straightening hair without a straightener?

anddd

any advice on curling hair? i a;ways try with a curling iron but i never do it right, i always just make this weird bump in my hair..

k so any advice would be great!
thanks :]

I would recomend conair straiteners, but if you are trying to get them cheap you should try ebay. Also you should try straitening it with a regular iron. It only takes like 2 minutes, but in order to do it you need a person to do it for you, and moister spray so you dont dry up the excess nutrients in your hair.

For curling irons you should probably first straiten you hair, then spray maximum hold in your hair before, it helps make the hair stick more to give more curls...also make sure your turning the curling iron counter clockwise, and have the iron facing up ((oppose to having the iron horizontal))

so i have this really good friend i mean we're practically the same person... we do everything together. but she always like takes my other friends and i kinda feel like she'd just using me to get more.. like all of my friends from years past she\'s like super nice too... she\'s even really good friends with my cousin now and she tells my cousin more than me! i feel like we're falling apart... i don't know if i'm being ridiculous but she's done this to like 6 of my good friends and now they are all closer to her than to me. i know friendship isn't a competition but i don't know if this is normal.

i had the same problem...i recomend ending your friendship with her, thats what i did and since then everythings been much better.
