Q:
I don't normally get bags under my eyes, but today my eyes are really, really puffy. Are there any home remedies for this, besides cucumbers on the eyes? Thanks.

If you have bags under your eyes that means that your tired. Try getting a lot of sleep this weekend. Sunday night before school on Monday... go to sleep early. Nothings wrong with having bags under your eyes. Make-up covers it.

Q: Recently, i found my dad constantly going to chatrooms and talking to random ppl like he likes them better than my mom. every day he would be doing this but once my mom got home, he would close out of them. i dont know what to do. my brother knows about it too, but i dont know if i should tell my mom. please help....:(

hi this is Christine... this happened to me too... except my mom did it in a bar. You should tell your mom before things get out of control. If your dad doesnt like your mom he should be the one to tell her. But i think you and your brother should tell her what your dad has been doing. thatisnt right.

Q: Christine my school had a football game tonite and i came home early because of my boyfriend! He was there with me and then this girl courtney grapped my boyfriends butt his name is richard garris and i don't know if i should kick her ass or what!? What do you think i should do?

I no who Courtney Hails is. I think you should kick her ass. shes the biggest bitch alive. By the way Kristina.... this is kelsey casoni... from school... i use my french name on here. So if u have n e more trouble just let me no and ill help u out.

Q: I'm almost 15 years old, and I'm female. I've always been very open about myself. Recently i found myself attracted to both boys AND girls, and I want to be open about it. My parents are very supportive, but how do i make the bashers at school leave me alone, if and when i DO come out to them? I want to show GAY PRIDE!

I hope you are very happy being Bi-Sexual. U have my support too. Be open about it. The bashers at school shouldnt care if u r or rnt. Its not up to them to tell u to be or not to be. You be yourself and not what others want u to be.

Q: Hi my name is Jess and there is this boy who is a grade younger than me and i guess i like him but everyone makes a big deal out of if someone goes out with someone in another grade oh and he likes me too so what should i do go out with him or not

dear jess if you like the kid you should go out with him. it dont matter if everyone had a bf/gf in a younger grade or not. Its what you feel inside. Do what you think you need to do.

Christine

Q: ok...my step-dad is VERY VERY VERY VERY racist....its so annoying...and niether my mom or dad or step-sister or step-bro are racist at all...and he just talks about n*gg*r this and n*gg*r that ans it just gets so annoying and no matter how we all tell him how annoying it is and how he needs 2 stop he just goes "well thats my opinion...blah blah blah" and we tell him we dont care about his opinion so much that he has 2 tell us a million times and its just so annoying but im not racist at all and i just hate it when he or anyone talks bad about anyone....its just so annoying...and its not like u can talk 2 him cuz hes so opinionated he doesnt listen 2 anyone....what do i do...i cant stand it when he gets on one of his talk things and we r all yelling at him and he wont stop.....help!!

just ignore what ever he says about "niggers". Its his opinion what he thinks about people. Just like you have your opinion of how annoying he must be. Just go to your room and lock your door. try blasting music so he can get the point. If that dont work tell him if he dont stop talking like that then say your going to live with a grandparent and its wrecking the household.

Good Luck

Q: I am 15 and i just started my sophomore year of high school. I've had 1 boyfriend and i've never had my first kiss. i have 2 problems...

1. i think im weird because im one of the only people i know in my grade who havent been kissed other than liek the really ugly girls ((not tryin ot be mean!)
...AND...
2. I go to Marist in Illinois.... im trying out fro teh school play and im a really good actor ((not to sound cocky))so if i make the lead role, tehn im going to have to ksis teh lead role guy... there are onyla few guys trying out for the play and i am good friends with all of them so if i were to be the lead i woudl ahve to kiss one of them. im afraid that that is going to eb awkward adn tehn if i kiss them im afraid it will eb more awkward afterwards....

any advice is helpful please!!!!

Your first kiss should be romantic. Well mine wasnt.. my first kiss was in a tree. in the 1st grade. Theres nothing rong with never being kissed. If it gets awkward then ignore it. Leave it be and go on with your life. I know alot of GIRLS that are 20 and never had their first kiss yet. So dooont feel bad. Good luck with your play. And most of all have fun

Q: oh my godd...i dont know what to do any more...i have a step-sister and i would KILL to have any other step-sister then her!!! she is bratty and spoiled and rude and thinks shes the queen and she obsesive compusive about every single thing!!!!! and pple how say 'i know how it is' have no earthly idea how it is...i would try 2 tell u everything she does annoying in like a day but it would take me a day 2 type it all...ok...shes 10 and shes a brat...and she thinks shes not but everything revolves around her and if she doesnt get it then she cries or goes 2 her room and slams the door and of course her dad babies her and he has 2 go tell her everything is all right....just think of this...on his and my moms wedding day she started crying becuz everyone was talking to my mom (the bride!!) and paying attention 2 her and lindsey (the step-sis) started crying cuz they were all talkin 2 my mom and not her!!!!!!!! and shes so rude she will come in my room and i will ask her 2 leave if she starts getting annoying and she will just start laughing (this annoying evil laugh....not kidding) and i will tell her and yell at her and she wont go and if her dad hears us fighting he goes 'ANGEL (thats lindsey although she is anything but) why dont u come over here for a while' in baby voice...and she has 2 have everything done for her...like she has eggsima(sp?) and she always ask me can i put lotion on her and i go no and she goes why and i go u can put it on urself all u need is someone 2 put it on ur back....so she stomps off and goes and tells she dad and of course he puts it on for her even though she can do it her self...and shes so rude like she will burp and fart in my face and i tell her 2 stop all the time and she just laughs...(that same evil laugh i cant stand) and now that all those things get on my nerves...the little things she does gets on my nerves 2...like she always has 2 turn off her light and close the door when she leaves her room...even if its only for a minute...and at one point my comp. wasnt working so i go use hers (yes she has one...at age 10!!) and when i was done i pushed the keyboard tray thing in and the keyboard was a little bit crooked and the mouse was like off 2 the side of the mouse pad and she goes U CUD HAVE CLEANED UP!!!! and she sits down...straightens the keyboard and puts the mouse in the center of the pad....ughhh....she just gets on my nerves so damn much and its not like i can yell at her cuz she will just go crying off 2 her dad and he babeies her!!! trust me if u think u know how it is...u have no idea!!!!!i need help!!! how do i ignore this little brat for a step-sis!!!!!!!please help!!!

I have 9 brothers and sisters. I know how it feels. They are ages ranging from 6-24. Most of them are really annoying. I cant stand my little sister or my twin. She thinks shes the mother of the house and everything revolves around her. All i do is go to my room, read a book or blast music. I also lock my bedroom door and ignore everyone and everything that comes to my door. You should try that. See if it works and let me know.

Q: my mom recently found out ive been cutting and now she questions me about it all the time and i just want her to leave me alone along with anyone else who questions cuts on my wrists or me wearing a wristband over them. what should i do??? please help!!

well you should just come out and confront your mom. tell her its your body and you want to do what you want to do. Tell her straight out that you dont want questioned n e more and just to drop the whoole subject. Same with your friends. They have no right to be budding into your business.

Q: i just got my period, i was wondering if someone can break down the steps for tampons and give me some good advice like what to do overnight. And also, after your period stops do you wear a pad for the day you expect it back? or what do u do?

i ve had my period since i was in 5th grade. It sux... For tampons just read the direstions as it shows in the box. That'll help break it down more. You can leave the tampon in overnight. Just as soon as you get up in the morning you must change it. Dont leave them in for more than 24 hours or u can get TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) Leave them in no more than 8 hours. When it starts to slow down wear a pad. The day you expect it to come back you may want to wear a pad. yes. It will only last for about 5 days. The longest is 2 weeks. good luck

Q: Ok me and my friend were at the school watching my boyfriend practice for football and after-ward they get changed so me and my friend were outside waiting for him and at my school its like a long path way and half way is the high school and then all the way down is the middle school and then theres like little tower things on the side and me and my friend were sitting against them and my friend is a lot bigger then me so I wouldn't be that notice-able..so my boyfriend walks by and I didn't notice it was him and my friend was like hey its your boyfriend ( no names used ) and he was walking with his friend and he doesn't like my friend so she was like hey its .... and he doesn't even look over at us he just like throws his hand behind him like waving and walks away...so I was like about to cry cause I thought he was gonna break-up with me and so after we was up there me and my friend go and walk up and I see him in his car and he waves to me like all friendly and stuff...so then we met our other friends and I tell them what happened and there all like talking about breaking-up with him or like telling him off and so I call him and I was like are you mad at me and hes like like all in a happy voice and I was like then why did you walk past me and ignor me and hes like what? when? and I was like when my friend said hey to you and hes like you were with her? and then he had to go so I told my friends and their like hes lying and I dunno who to belive!? please help! sorry its so long!! I'll rate you high just for reading it all!

- c o n f u e s s e d -

Guys aere dick heads. if you are near someone that he dont like he wont come over and talk to you. Guys dont like to be pressured when they're around their friends. Don't believe him. Guys lie tro their girlfirends all the time. If he sees you and ignores you then hes not worth it. If he dont like your friends then dont like his. Good luck with your boyfriend.

Q: ok yall may have seen my question about how i made out with my boyfriends cousin...well i liked my boyfriends cousin so i let him feel on my boobs...through my shirt though!!no one knows about it ...or soo i think....but now my friend billy keeps askin if i will give head and do i swallow and all this shit and if i would give him a BJ and well then yesterday i was wearin a shirt that went kinda low but i had and undershirt on and i kinda bent over to pull my pantleg down (cz they were scrunchin up) and austin (another guy friend) said i was makin my boobs go togther 4 billy to see soo me bein so damn blonde i did it again to show austin that it wasent true and then billy looked and all this shit is goin on...and then austin asked if i would show him my boobs and i kinda pushed him (in a jokin,playful way) and said noo im not a hoe! and then i looked at traivs (the guy i made out with)...

1.how can i ask travis about this???
2. am i a hoe,slut....???

No your not a hoe or a slut... thats all guys look at is boobs and ask for head hand jobs and shit like that... if a guy asks you for that shit then that means hes sexually harrassing you. It happened to me. Let your parents and teachers know that that happened. Or if you think its okay for them to do that then keep it to yourself. Just ask travis in your own way. No one can tell you how to ask someone something. Its in your own personal thing

Q: How do you know if a guy likes you and if he/you does like him how do you get him to notcie you??

Im not really sure how u get guys to notice you. I have a boyfriend from a different school and i thought that hed never notice me. Well one night i had him and a couple of friends over and his cousin got him to go out with me. I have no clue what the heck i did but it worked. Act yourself when your around him and dont be shy. Guys hate when girls are shy around them. He should tell one of your friends or you if he likes you or not.

Q: im 5'4 n i weigh 90 and my friends and family are always telling me that i look like im loosing weight but i think im fat! i havent eaten anything in like 5 days and i feel really sick. what should i do???
xox rica

You need to eat to survive. If you want to loose weight then watch what you eat dont drink pop drink water stop eating all the time if you do...
set a limit for yourself
Dont eat junk food

Q: Ok I have my cartilage pierced and it's beel pierced since the end of May. I ran out of the cleaning stuff the store gave me and now it's infected and swollen. I was wondering what I could use to clean it. I have hydrogen peroxide and isperyl alcohol (not sure if that's what it's called). Would either of those work or should I use something else? Thanks! I rate!

Both of the liquids will help. I had an ifection in my catilage when i got mine done in the 3rd grade. Im in 9th now... what i found out was wrond... was i had a reaction to the earrings.
But yes alcohol works the best

Q: so...i was giving this 1 guy head...and when i was he started pushing down on my head...why did he do that and what does it mean?! Thanx so much!

When a guy pushes your head down when your giving him head that means hes getting hard and horny fast... Or probably because Jizz is going to come out... And he probably doesnt want to burst in your mouth... Watch what you do

Q: i have the worst cramps ever! any girls now some good cures?

Take Mydol It really helps...
