advice

I've been getting breakouts across the tops and backs of my shoulders since late last summer, and nothing i do makes them disappear!
i've tried using my acne medication on them, but they are still stubborn. it has helped my face, but won't help these. i don't use it very frequently. would using it more frequently help?

obviously, with it being only a few months until summer, i would like to be rid of them before summer.
they don't show under t-shirts, but i hate wearing tank tops/bathing suits.

any tips?? should i keep using the acne stuff, or would just leaving them alone make them go away?

thanks!

its called bacne (back acne) try using something for bacne and not acne it should work it worked for me. the chemicals in them are both different and are caused by different ways.

Ok, I am overweight and have been for a few years. I desperately want to change that, but the first thing I need to know is how to plan a good workout. I have 2 workout DVDs that I plan to use. One is a dance video, and one is Fat Blasting Yoga. I also want to be able to run the mile in less than 20 minutes, but right now it takes me five minutes just to run 1/4 of a mile, and after that, i get tired. (These are all important factors for me...please think about these when you answer this question.) Thank you so much!

www.seventeen.com has great tips, workouts, and meal plans thats what i use! :]]
good luck

Okay, I'm not fat, I know I'm not, I may have a little more meat on my bones than the typical person but I'm NOT fat.
The thing is, I have stretch marks between my legs, a LOT of them, my mom says its from where I was a cheerleader, I think otherwise, they go down my legs about 4 inches. & swimsuit seasons coming up, ofcourse, like everyother girl I LOVE bikinis, but this year im not getting on. I'd much rather have a camo one, but I dont want the bottom, I just want a pair of camo swimming trunks, what should I do.
I feel so stupid wanting trunks, but I am so self concious, is there any way to make the stretch marks go away? fade? i really need help.
plz>

well when my mom was pregnant she had stretch marks and cocoa butter helped hers go away :]]
hope i helped.
ohh yeah for the cocoa butter you just rub it on were you have stretch marks at :]
good luck!


P.S im adding this in because im wondering why i got a 2 when i answered the same thing as the person that got a 5.

Alright, so in a few months I'm going to this event and I thought of the perfect outfit. I know where to get everything, BUT the skirt :(

I was looking at buying one online somewhere, but I'm not allowed.

I was looking at getting a skirt that's basically a tutu, sort of like this:

However I'd like it to be longer, obviously.

I know most of you live overseas so I'm not looking for an exact SHOP to buy one, but where do I start to look? I've looked at all the "alternative" shops, and they have nothing.

I live in Melbourne, Australia if it helps.

And I honestly don't care about the colour, it can be pink, white, red, purple etc for all I care. I just need a skirt that looks like a tutu.

Hot topic has them Ive seen them there! and you should be able to get them at any halloween store! hope i helped

it seems no matter how much i sleep (too little OR too much) i'm always getting bags under my eyes. how can i prevent this or make them go away?

Get an eye mask and put it in the freezer then on your eyes, or get two cold spoons from the freezer or fridge and put them on your eyes. It should work , it works for me! :]]

I have a boston terrier that's about 5 years old, and a new kitten. And well, my dog likes to get into the cat litter box, and eat the uhm...dung. =/ and my mother knew a woman that her dog use to do that, and it ended up getting liver cancer. and we can't move the litter box..and i was wondering if they made something to like...spray on the litter pan, so the dog wouldn't go near it?

or something, anything really...


because i really don't want my dog to die. =[

Try putting red pepper flakes on the poop! it makes it really really really spicy and he will stop eating it
thats what my dog did because he had the same problem it works!

okay, this girl thinks i started a rumor cause i said something about it but i just mentioned it and so she apoligized to the person who really did start it. now she is being mean and actually hit me. i have to sit with her at school and i wanna be mean and get her to stop because she is so mean.

Usually if I ignore people, it just makes me more mad. So I always stand up for myself, and "treat people how they treat me" intstead of "treating people how I want to be treated."

i liked this guy but i got over him. i dont noe if im growing to like him again. ugh! i tell my mind he's not the guy but heart still does. anyway to get rid of this??? thanks in advance!

Focus on other things, hanging out with friends, homework , watching a movie, joining a sport. The guy you like and his memories with you will soon be gone. :]]
Good luck!

16/f! My aunt Linda and her son john live with us and they both treat me like dirt and i can't stand them. For example they are messy and one time some food spilled on their carpet and they blamed me. Then once they got porn downloaded on their computer and said i looked at it. Then one time me and my mom were fighting and my aunt linda was like "she is way to fat and lazy to run away" because i jumped out my window and i no this be cuz m brother told me and he wont lie. Neither my mom or dad will do anything bout her and ive tried asking her y she's so mean to me and now shes meaner. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

She doesn't sound like a very nice person at all , if you can't do anything to fix it use my motto "Treat people how they treat you".
Be mean back, she'll get a taste of her own medicine. I have a stupid mean rich snobby aunt too and thats what I do... she backs off :]
Good luck!!

OK well i have just caught the eye of this really cute guy who works at the supermarket near my house. I mean he is so cute I can't stope smiling when I see him. *blush*
But idk how to talk to him. I have a really low self esteem. I'm 5'0" and 169 pounds....... a bit much for a girl my hieght..... so i am always worried that a guy is only looking at my face and not me..... also i am just to shy to talk to him. so any ideas on how i can break the ice?

Just "happen" to need to "Get" something in the aisle that he's in , or go into the checkout lane that he's working at. Then from there, casually say "Hey" or "Whatsup?" or "how are you?" then you can work from there! :]

good luck

14/f
i've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half.
weve been fighting the past three days and we usually never fight. but we came into a discussion that really bothered me.
apparently he said he could do better then me. so then i asked, how? and he said "listen i love your personality, and how you make me feel, i seriously love you, the only way i could do better then you is in looks" he kinda then saw me tearing and he told me he wasn't calling me ugly. and then i told him to just drop the conversation and we did but the rest of our day was good. i just really never thought i was ugly.. but i didn't think i was gorgeous.. just average you know? i mean other guys have asked me out in the past but yeah. so i guess im ugly.. what do i do now? :(

Guys never know how to say anything the right way, and if he thinks he can do better than you he's wrong not everything can be perfect for him and what he said wasn't nice at all. You probably are gorgeous but guys always expect more from girls and don't understand anything. Pretty much,....guys are stupid! :P
You dont have to do anything now! Just love being who you are and love the skin your in
Hope I helped!

ok

so my best friend K is going out with D
and D really likes me
but i dont like him
K is in love with D... and D likes her but he is in love with me
i dont like him
and even if i did
i would NEVER hurt K like that

what should i do...
and please dont say tell K because she already knows

thank you in advance

Wow! sounds like a soap opera! Well If you dont like him then you should tell him that and if "K" knows that "D" likes you and not her then "K" should break up with "D"
That may sound confusing but I can't think of anything else you could do to stop this drama
Good Luck , hope i helped! :]]

my hair is very long, thick, and straight. in other wods, asian hair lol. my problem is that it always splits down the middle no matter how much i try to put it to the side. i tried blow drying it to the side but it doesn't work either. one reason why i never got bangs, especially side bangs if because it would always slipt down the middle. any help on how to make it stay to the side? thanks.

Hairspray might work, Its probably not going to the side because you have a callick a part on your head that only goes in one direction, I have one too, except only my hair wont go in the middle but just to one side, and ive tried a lot to get it into the middle but it just sweeps right back!
Hope it helped!

I think I may be developing feelings for this guy. I liked him for the first time about march of last year, but got over it because he liked someone else at the time.

Now, I think I like him again but I don't want to admitt it because I don't want to feel crushed again.

Another problem is we don't see each other too often because he lives a good while away from me [about 20 miles or so]. He constantly but mostly jokingly asks for naked pictures of me. I refuse to send pics because i don't think it would be right but hes really caring.


How do I tell him to stop asking for pics AND tell if he likes me as a person not just for my body?

I'm 15/f and hes 17.

He obviousley doesnt respect you if hes asking you for naked pictures, and if you are under 18 thats illegal (child pornography). Even if he did like you I dont think hes the nicest and most respectful guy around!
Hope this helped! :]]

i want to lose weight. im 13 years old and am over weight by about 30-40 pounds but i dont look like it. i want to be healthier and i lost 20lbs last summer but i gained all back and i want to lose it by may but i have a slight problem, whenever i think about how i look or start a new eating healthy plan or something i get all depressed because of the way i am and start eating. horrible and weird i know but i cant help it. i have an elliptical at home but i never use it. i want to lose weight more than anyone knows. Help! what type of foods should i eat, what kind of excersises what do i do?? help! thanks in advance!!

Eat healthy foods like salads, chicken, fruits and vegetables, but dont eat any snacks in bags, with oil or snacks or anything with partially hydrogenated cornstarch or saturated fats. Avoid sweets, and everytime you even think about going for one and giving up think about how much you want to lose the weight! Also use the elliptical, run, and lift weights , do sit-ups and pushups too!
If you really want to lose the weight you should be able to
Good luck ;]

Is there a way to avoid throwing up after running really hard?

That is my question and the story behind it is this:
I do track at school, and I run the 1000 which is 5 laps on the indoor track. However, after a minute or so after I run it for like 10-15 minutes I have to be in the bathroom cause I keep gagging. I've never actually puked, although have been pretty close to it. I don't know if this affects it, but the air in the track is EXTREMEMLY dry, which causes me to cough [which partially caused the gagging].
If the air is less dry, would that make it better or worse?

Yes it probably would help if it wasn't so dry, drink lots of water but not too much before because you will get cramps, also breathe in through your nose, and once you get used to running alot it should get easier!
Hope I helped :]]
