okay so i started taking antibiotics last saturday and finished taking them yesterday. i know that you're not supposed to drink alcohol when taking antibiotics but do you think it's safe to drink tonight? remember: i finished taking them yesterday.
and i'm of legal drinking age so don't lecture me about that.
I think it would be ok... if you know you're going to get shit-faced, you might want to make sure with your doctor but if you're just going to have a beer or 2, i'm almost posative you will be fine.
i keep seeing people with these tan braided bracelets. why does everyone have them? do they mean something or something like that? thanks.
at my school they usually stand for weed...since that's where hemp comes from. but that's not for everyone. some are just for fun or because other people have them. they are in for summer and are easy to make so everyone has them.
im 21 and im inlove with my best friend whos a boy and im a girl. i think i wanna marry him and have his babies! i know thats serious but i think im ready.....wat should i do? PLEASE HELP ME*
maybe you should tell him how you feel about him.... don't scare him away by telling him that you wanna marry him and have his babies tho. just that you like him and that you should date.
i had my 13 birthday 1 and a half months ago and my mom threw me a big party where me and my boyfriend slept together for the first time after being together nearly 2 years. after that we agreed not to do it again for a while 'cos i didnt felt ready, i missed my period so i took a pregnancy test and it was posative! i have told him (he is almost 15) and he says he will stand by me what ever i choose but i am so affraid. i feel helpless, please help me :(
Well since you did choose to do it, I think you should at least have the baby. you have to tell your parents because without their consent...you can't really do anything. this will be really scary for you... but you have to stay strong. there was a girl at my school (senior-17) and she stayed in school through the pregnancy and ended up having the baby and only missing a week of school and nowshe's graduating. hopefully you can find a way to stay in school and have a normal life after too. take care!
whenever i try on ae or hollister jeans, they like dont fit around my butt..? like it makes my butt look flat.. you know what i mean? its like tight around the area and i dont even have that big of a butt? whats wrong.. like what pants do i have to get?
i have the exactl same problem! they look all gross towards the bottom of my butt then the top is looser! that's usually when it's like regual denim... they just do that! i got stretch jeans at ae...they are soooo much better. they don't usually come destroyed tho. they look better on the butt tho! i have the antique wash skinny flare jeans from ae .. try them!
ok so im going to the rascal flatts concert in june and i have no clue what to wear!! what do people wear to country concerts cause i've never been to one..also im 16/f
a bunch of people saw rascal flatts earlier this year and they wore tank tops or tshirts with jean minis for the most part. they wore flip flops or cowboy boots with it.
OK My mom just got fired because she had a blood clot in her lung and now can't do anything. My dads job dont pay enough. We have the bills and my dads ex-wife is a jerk. She makes us pay child support and now that my mom is not working we will only be able to pay her. Then we will have to hunt to get food. The bodem line. I dont know how to help her. I just wanna die. What can I doooooooooo?
I think there's some kind of law preventing people with illnesses to be fired but i'm not exactly sure. in some cases, she could sue.
You could try to get a job or maybe your mom could babysit kids at your house or something not too strenous that pays well. good luck hun and keep your head up. things will get better! 
I'm entering my school's talent show. It's coming up very soon. I'm gonna to sing. I'd prefer to do a country song sung by a female. I play guitar if that helps. Please give suggestions =)
Thanks so much in advanced!
ooooh that's awesome! I sang a country song for a competition last year and it was "tryin' to find atlantis" but i just now forgot who it's by. it was definatly a fun one to sing!
hey! So heres my question, I am in 8th grade and my school has this "end of the year 8th grade formal"-ish thing. I just recently(as in like the last 3 days) started going out with this really great guy, and we are going to formal together. He is very nice and really sweet and isn't a perv like most 14 year old guys. So anyway, at this dance I think I might be wearing a strapless dress, and because im kinda skinny and dont have much boobs(im in like the biggest size you can be in a A cup, small I know ok geez) Do you think a strapless push up bra will make it look like i have more boobs? I know this guy wont care casue he is really nice, but I dunno I just want to look "sexy" haha. thnx so much! -marsbars
i don't think i've ever seen a good push up that was strapless. i can see that kinda dropping down and looking kinda... fake/gross. i would go with a halter dress... it makes it look bigger AND you can wear one strap about your neck to keep everything up and in place. have fun!
What is the maximum time limit to be in the tanning beds? If i go tanning for 15 minutes every day, how long will it take for me to get bronzed? (my skin is pale) When you get the spray on tan, do the people spray you or does a machine do it??
i don't think 15 minutes a day would be healthy... especially if you are pale. i think 3 times a week is a lot. that's all i know... i don't want to give you any false info.
I usually only wear 2 piece swim suits but I need a one piece for this party I'm going to. It's a girls only night before we graduate and the girl throwing the party wants everyone to wear a one piece.
Anyways, on to my question. With my bikinis and stuff, I wear an XS or a S in the bottoms depending on the brand/store (I'm a size 1 pants). And for my tops I need a M (I'm a C cup). I was wondering how one pieces work when it comes to girls wearing a different size for the top and bottom?
Personally, I would go to the store and try a bunch on. it really depends on the cut, style and brand of the bathing suit. i would say go with bigger to fit your top half it but it really depends. just try a bunch.
So.. wow this is kinda embarassing..
Since I'm the one usually giving advice, and now I really need some! Please help :)
okay, well I heard that when people are stressed/depressed or stuff like that they can either start eating a lot, or eating less and getting an eating disorder.
Well today was really  bad, and I just want to keep eating food, and I dont know why, I feel hungry, but I dont want to get fat. I'm upset, but ahh how do I control this?
i don't think you have an issue with emotional eating. i think you're just having "one of those days" where you're just hungry. i have those occasionally.. i think everyone does. it could be PMS too... a lot of people i know seriously pig out! so really, it's nothing to be concerned about. if it goes on for more than a week straight, then you might have to figure out what's wrong. BUT it could just be that you are growing and need more food and that's normal.
ok, here's the situation: i was at a dance Friday night and i met this girl(whoo hoo!), and i got her phone number. I said that i would call her sometime. 
what i was wondering is when i should call her. should i wait 2-3 days or do it right now? and when i do call her, what should i say? Should i be like "hi, remember me from friday?" or what should i say?
call her soon! when i meet guys at dances, they usually call or text me later that night or the next day. don't wait to long or she might forget you. when you do, just be like "hey it's whoever from the dance on friday, what's up?" "did you have a good time?" and then just talk to her.
My name is Januari. I am thirteen, female, and I have an issue. Now I know all about the bads of drugs and what not but can we forget about them for a second. My best guy friend Derek got high for the first time last Friday. This usually wouldn’t be a big deal because me and most of my friends smoke pot but Derek said he wanted to for the first time with me there. Though this was not the case he did meet up with me that night while riding his bike and this is what happened: He comes up to me while I'm with a group of people and I know right away he's high, they don't. I ask him if he did it with so and so etc. he answers all of my questions with a giggle, a shrug, and a direct answer. He was acting a little different but not too much until he decided to get off his bike and lay on the grass. As a joke my friend Ashley goes I bet Januari wants to lie down next to Derek which is a reasonable comment considering I've had a huge crush on Derek since the beginning of time. But regardless he answers "I wouldn't mind that." with a smirk. I don't lie down just giggle and then walk away. He gets back on his bike comes over to me and in a sing song voice says "my dearest Januari,” At this point his two friends who got high with him are saying lets go and he’s standing there singing to me. Then I notice he is giving me this meaningful look and I want more than anything to kiss him but I don't. Then our lips are about a foot apart and he shrugs. Then I shrug and this continues for about one min. with each shrug our lips get closer. Just when it's about to happen I say you better go. He doesn’t get angry or anything just giggles and starts leaving and I walk away. But as he leaves he starts yelling my name but I pretend not to hear him. The thing is I know from experience and story of ear that you don't get high the first time you smoke. So there is this possibility that he was faking it all. And also Ashley thinks he is repressing his feelings through the substance unlike when he’s sober because then he acts just friends with me especially in front of his friends. I can't tell if he likes me and I thought maybe you could input something. If you bothered to read all of this say anything and I will rate high.
I think you guys should forget about that for now until something like that happens when he's not high or under the influence of anything. you can get high the first time you smoke. "highs" vary from person to person. some people get really horny and happy and some are calm, relaxed and kinda sleepy. some people, of course, exaggerate the whole experience. (like with alcohol too). i think he knew something like this would happen...especially since he wanted you to light up with him for the first sign. i think he figured if you both got high, it wouldn't be as akward for friends to hook up. he was probably thinking, yes, but not completely straight. it's a lot to decipher... but maybe you should wait a while and see what happens with the 2 of you.
ok well i was wondering if the workouts in the seventeen magizne actually work because i dont want to waste my time doing it and then it doesnt work lol but if they dont work is there any workouts on the internet u could tell me about?? well thankzz i will rate 5
There was one for abs and legs in an issue like a year and a half ago that really worked for me. (That's the only one i really got into doing) So yeah, I think it works if you do the same number of reps and eat right. some of them aren't enough for some people... if you play a sport and are used to an hour of whatever instead of 10 minutes like in the workout, you might have to add on to it for it to really work for you personally.
Is there such a thing as a battery powered straightener? I ask because it is normally hot in my first class at school and when its hot..of course..i sweat..and my hair goes balistic on me..especially after the first time i straighten it. So i was wondering if there is such a thing or if there is like a mini straightener or something...if not then does anyone know of anything that will help me? thanks
that used to happen to me all the time when i straightened my hair in the morning or right before dances. what i do now it take a shower at night and blowdry/straighten it then i sleep on it... it gets some of the natural oils back so it stays down better after i sleep on it. that's what works for me... maybe you should try it and see if it works for you. i think it's better than straightening all day long..
Ok this is gonna sound really stupid...but, tonight was the first night my boyfriend fingered me and i was just wondering [god i feel dumb] can u get an std from getting fingered?
I really don't think you can unless he like touched himself and then fingered you. I'm not positive but i really don't think you can.
My bedroom is white and boring. I've been thinking about redecorating it. mostly painting the walls. I just have no idea what color to paint it. My favorite colors are pink and black. I'd be scared to paint it black and plus, im not allowed. but im not sure if i wanna paint it pink. Please help.
What colors would you suggest to paint a bedroom.
I'll rate 5's for anyone that tries.
try pink walls with a black line running horizontally in the middle of the wall. that's what i want to do actually!
1m 15/f. my 8th grade dance is coming up and i need a place to gat pretty high heal shoes. but i dont know were i can find any. my grandparents are going to pay for it but i have to figure out were to get some.....so, im open to any suggestions!!!!!!!
i got a pair of dress shoes that were clear and silver (like prom one) that also matched my dress for $25 at DSW. i normally wouldn't get those but my friend saw mine and got ones almost exactly like them because they match with everything. there's all kinds of cute ones so look around!
how do you get guys to notice you more? i mean i'm not ugly but i dont think i'm "hott" so what should i do? i think i have a nice personality...but idk.
play up what you have...wear a little bit of makeup and look well put together. don't go out of your way to impress them but do wear jewelry and stuff.
