Q: hi im thirteen and my moms been having really bad neck pain, i was just wondering if this could be a problem like a deadly thing because shes been getting headaches and she has been really tired lately and she doesnt seem very comfortable. but my main question is: is this serious?

it might not be fatal, but i would tell her to go to a sinus doctor and see if she is clogged.

Q: im 8 months pregnant and i want to get my belly button pierced. will it hurt my baby?

13/f

i wouldnt because your stomach is a little bulgy so it wouldnt be in the same spot after you gave birth. plus if it gets infected, the infection could spread to your baby.

Q: ok, my best friend and i have known each other since we were 2. we're actually a lot more like sisters, because we know everything about each other. we're now sophomores in high school, and she has yet to make one friend of her own. every friend she has was because i was friends with them first, which isnt a problem, but she needs to seriously be able to make her own friends. we have EVERY class together, and she just tags along. i never get a break from her. i cant stand her attitude, and if i hadnt have known her my whole life i probably wouldnt choose to be friends with her. she judges everyone and is just plain mean. i honestly need to get away from her but i cant, and i cant talk to her because shell just go crying to MY friends and try to get them to be on her side. what the hecks and i supposed to do!?!?

tell her that she needs to stop being mean. if that problem continues keep confronting her about it. about her being kind of up your butt, tell her you need to take a break from her right now. if she gets mad just let her. she will have to make friends if you arent with her. if she keeps hanging around you see if you can get your schedule changed or ask to be moved to a different seat in class. hope your problems gets better.

Q: im gay and i want to tell my perants that im gay i know my dad would accept it but my mom would beat my @SS so what can i do to get my mom to accept me??

fina a creative way to tell her. maybe you shouldnt tell her right to her face. maybe call her or e-mail her explaining about your situation. then she could have a chance to get mad and you wouldnt have to see her do it.

Q: me and my boyfriend are scared that when he turns 18 that he will get in trouble for messing around with me. i will be 17 at the time. can he still get in trouble for that. i mean it is only a year older it isnt like it is 5 or something? thanks so much i will rate all answers

if your parents dont want you to do that or they want to press charges against him, he could go to jail. it would be considered statutory rape. even if it consentual.

Q: Is wearing a skirt while you have a period okay? Also, do I necessarily have to wear a tampon or could I wear a pad (bc I hate tampons). Its a white skirt. Or should I just wait till my periods gone ( 4 more days probably ) Thanks for advice!

you can wear a skirt and pads at the same time. if your skirt isnt super tight, you can put short shorts under it just to be safe.

Q: Can anyone recommend a good type of shampoo and conditioner? Like the company, and which kind to get?

garnier nutrisse is very good. i have very curly hair and it makes it feel soft and lighter.

Q: does anyone know a cool way to paint fingernails so they are decorative without using decals? I am partial to things like dice, letters, runes, etc, but any designs would be cool. any websites with designs would be good too.

you can do a flower by dipping a needle in nail polish. then you put a dot on your nail. then swirl the dot. and let dry.
~Maegan~

Q: about how long should i wait till my nails grow kinda like a fake nail about that size

nobody can really tell you because some nail;s grow fast and some grow slow. i would say about 2-3 centimeters is long. that is your WHOLE nail.

Q: My hair is so boring and I was wondering how can i make hair wavy without buying anything from the stores?? Anything i can do/use?? Rate 5's for first 6 people if it works.

you can wet your hair at night and braid it. sleep in the braids. in the morning, take them out and you will have waves.
~Maegan~

Q: Hey okay heres the deal , i want to make my hair like scrunched/wavy but i dont want to use roller things cause they break my hair to much. What should i use to scrunch it ?? By the wayy my hair is super straight naturally.

if you dont want to damage your hair, wet your hair the night before and braid it. sleep in the braids. when you wake up. take the braids out and comb your hair. you could use mousse to keep your hair wavy. i use garnier fructise curl up.

to make sure your hair is curly, put mousse in your hair and push up the waves. that makes them more bouncy and natural. hope it works out for you.

Q: y did my parents get mad when i sang "im just a notch in your bed post but yur just a line in a song"?? does that mean a bad thing or something ?? thanks bii

im just a notch in ur bedpost means that you were just another person that someone slept with. that may be why they get upset.

Q: Do you have to have an ID to buy ciggarettes?

yes.

Q: ok, my hair is naturally blonde...and uh i dyed it black...(but it was a lot of colors in between and the black was a boo boo) and now my roots are back and it has been dyed black for almost 1 and a half years now. i have been redoing it and stuff when my roots needed it. but now i wanna get back to blonde!!! how can i go about getting back to blonde with blonde roots of about 2 inches and then the rest of my shoulder length hair black? is there any way to get hte dye out, cuz i wanna be blonde again ASAP!!! thanks!

get a friend or a family member to go to a store with you and buy blonde hair dye almost identical to your roots. buy a few boxes or remember the name in case you have to touch up again. dye your hair.
