Q: I just found out that britney shaved all her hair out. I couldn't believe it.
Why did she do it?. What's going on with her?

Apparantly there's a custody issue with her and k-fed, and to get custody he was going to take a piece of her hair and use it against her in court (you can drug test strands of hair), and since she only stayed in rehab overnight, she knew she couldn't pass it so she shaved her head so he couldn't get to her hair.

The salon kept her hair though, so we'll see.

Who cares though...people shave their heads everyday, it just so happens brittany spears did it.

Q:
i have been a veggatarien for about 2 years now

i forget the vitamin/minal/nutrent is called! but it helps make your body make red blood cells

its found in meat, wich i strictly will never eat unless its due to major health issues (go animal activestt!)

i take vitimans that give me the nutreats needed, but im worred about something
i havent started my period yet, this isnt what im worried about but im afraid once i do, that all those extra red blood cells i need is gunna be taken away by periods. i know in alot of older woman when this occors they can get...i think its something like osteosarcoma?? but least i dont eat meat its going to make my chances highr!! =[

im really worried! i mean if i really have to i will eat meat again but....i dont know what else to do! i afraid also of lacking other nutreants, i have a healthy diet and all, its just i barly get any zink (i think thats what makes red blood cells??) as it is and then when my period comes, its gunna be even worse!! and my bones and me will be unhealthy and weak.

im not a vegan so i still eat/drink organic milk and eggs if that helps!

I'm a vegetarian as well. The vitamin/mineral/nutrient you're probably talking about is iron. You can find it in red meat, but it is also in green leafy vegetables and other things. You'll be fine if you're taking vitamins, make sure your multivitamin is a multivitamin with iron. If you're still worried, talk to your doctor or see a nutricianist to see what you're lacking.

Q: what is an orgy? everyone talks bout it at school and i dont know what it is. :S

A party where everyone has sex with each other.

Q: when is it going to get warmer? i need to work out soon outside but its too cold

i thought global warming would warm the earth?

You're obviously fucking stupid. We don't know where you live, therefore we cannot tell you when it's going to get warmer.

Global warming isn't going to happen over night.

Q: Do people define others upon their social status more so in middle school or high school? I know that there are so many more kids where i am going to go to high school next year, so wouldn't it be difficult to get to know everyone? thanks =]

Definitly middle school. Highschool is less cliquey and everyone kind of talks to everyone.

Q: How do you dance to house/trance/techno?
a) Move yourself around randomly
b) Dance like dancing to hip hop (grinding et cetera)
c) Don't dance
d) Just hop around because the only time you listen to that kind of music is when you're tripping?
e) Something else?
And how do you dance when you're dancing with a partner?

When dealing with trance, I would go with A, or C.

For house and techno, I personally choose D. That's what techno is for.

Q: The skin on my face is SO flakey and dry. Whenever I put my coverup on (liquid), it looks awful after about 2 hours. Loads of little flakes of skin literally come off whenever I touch my face. I apply a face lotion at night and even before I apply the coverup...but my face is always terribly dry. What can I do to cure this dry skin?

Almay makes a liquid foundation especially for dry flakey skin.

Q: what is the effect of mixing cocaine and alcohol?
I dont need "drugs will ruin your life" k thanks!

Cocaine is a stimulant, alchohol is a depressant. When they mix, they cancel each other out, creating hell for your heart and liver.

Q: I remember hearing that marijuana was decriminalized in 11 states,but I don't know which ones.Could someone tell me what they are?

Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Q: well i was high the other day and noticed that my pupils got hella small..are they suppose to get small because i thought they were suppose to get big?

Totally normal, no worries.

Q: Is it true that the Beatles did drugs even before they first got turned on to pot?I knew that they drank but I heard that they also used Amphetamines or something,which doesn't seem likely to me.If they did,how was it compared to their later drug use?

I don't know about amphetamines, but I know they did alot of LSD.

---EDIT--- Alright, rate me low because you don't know how to ask a question.

Q: I just had the greatest date ever. I know a guy at school, and we've talked on a few occasions for an hour or two at a time. Anyway, we had a wonderful date tonight, and of course, ended up making out. A lot. We talked a lot too, but ooh my god, i don't know where to get started with the making out part. Anyway, we sat on a stairwell and started making out, and I ended up sitting on his lap, straddling him, which felt so good and comfortable for both of us. But i don't know if I got carried away or not. I was kissing his neck and touching the top of his chest. And when he dropped me off, we made out in the car for a good 15 minutes or so. ANd I don't know...is all of this generally appropriate on a first date, even if you totally get along with the person?

Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with making out on the first date. The only thing I wouldn't agree with is if you go any further on the next date. The only downside of all the make out sessions on the first date is that the guy will expect more of you the second time around.

Q: Okay. so i like this boy. he has big ears but he nice and cute.:].i dont know if i should tell him i like him or not. cause if i tell then im scared he will make fun of me. can u guys give me advice.

Tell him or have a friend tell him. If he makes fun of you, make fun of his abnormally large ears.

Q: on the show juvies this kid had to take a drug test and it came out positive, is that good?

Uh, no.

If a drug test comes out positive, it means drugs have been found in his system. If it comes out negative, it means there are no--negative--drugs in his system.

Q: i know this is a stupid question but why does a girl "cum"? is it because it feels good? and like...what is it? like is it pee or something?

It's self lubrication, so the penis can enter the vagina easier.

Q: I have a winter formal coming up, and I would really like to loose a lot of weight quickly. Which foods should I eat, and how many calories should I eat each day? I'm 14, and weigh 90 pounds, but that's because I'm super short and have like no muscle. I really would like to get a lot healthier because I eat a lot of junk food. Any help would be greatly appreciated =]

If you're 90 pounds, you don't need to lose weight, but you probably need to tone up. Work out, eat 5 small meals a day, and drink water. 100 crunches at night and go for a 30 minute jog every day.

Q: i have never been fingered because i feel uncomfortable about people touching or seeing down there, also does every girl smell down there? I wanted to know if its a good idea to shave and when a guy fingers you does he get your cum and everything on his fingers.

Obviously he's going to get your cum and "everything" on his fingers, considering his fingers are in your vagina.

Don't let anyone finger you until you're comfortable. Not every girl smells down there, you shouldn't, you need to keep clean. An odor during period week is normal though. Shave or trim, don't shave everything off though.

Q: Okay, my sister will be turning 13 soon and I want to throw her a party. Any ideas about what to do and what not? Also she can't decide if she just wants money or if you wants clothes and games or what not. Any help and ideas are loved! Also her birthday is March 24th. Her likes are: Singing, ancing, music, pink retro, and dressing up.

What the fuck is pink retro.

--Edit--: If you don't know how to figure out if someone's being obviously bitchy or not, please don't answer my answer to your question.
