hey i just got my upper ear (cartilege ?) periced a few days ago. the question i had is its still hurting and its very swollen is this normail?? if so how long will it last. i have the bactin spray and its not infected or anything its just healing i guess. is there anything i can do to make the swelling go down and to ease the pain??? thanks (link)
Your cartilage is real bone it's just not as hard. Yes it's gonna hurt for a while. Try taking some Tylenol or Motrin pain relievers and use some ice. Don't touch it or remove the earring it'll close up real fast.


Hi i am a 16 year old female and Im not sure how to explain to this guy that i used to date that i still have big feelings for him..He is moving away but should be back his senior year. I dont care about distance. I really want to be with him. We broke up though becuz i questioned his love for me. I really do love this guy and I know he loves me too. I just dont think he realizes how much i do really care about him. I dont know what to say and how to explain it. Please help me explain to this guy how i feel..I want him no matter what. I would do anything. Also can you help me with so sweet ways of showing him how i care. I am seeing him Sunday for the last time..Please HELP!!

You need to tell him form your heart how you feel about him. No one can tell you what to say because in the end its just you saying it. Tell it from the heart and if he can't see that you two were meant to be then he's not worth it. Don't stress over it you'll know what to say.


Okay me and my boyfriend have sex but the thing is we have never used a condom and I'm not on birth control. I talked to him about it before and we agreed to start using them. But that never happened...I really wish we would but I dont want to say something about it again.....what should i do? (link)
Just bring one next time.


hey guys i was just wondering, do any of you know where to get the belly dancer things like the one in akons video? u wrap it around ur waist and i was wondering where can i buy them? i live in NY and im 14/F (link)
If you're talking about the wrap around skirt-like things then those are just like scarfs and can be found in the belts/scarfs/accessories section in most clothing stores. Or you can make them yourself by going to a frabic store and look for the prints you like and add sequins and bells.


Well ive fallen for a friend of mine, and im looking for a creative way to tell her. now im not some loser that has never had a date, and i know the standard straight forward way to ask out a girl, but im looking for soemthing a bit more intresting. i am 19/m she is 20/f (link)
Why don't you ust start out slow like ask her out for a day at the mall or to the movies or over to study then you can ask her after that. For a creative of asking her why don't you just get her a bouquet of roses or surprise her with tickets or whatever they are as a gift. Be creative and think there's no wrong way to be intresting.


SORRY ITS SO LONG.. BUT I'LL RATE 5'S FOR EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT.

ok so my ex ((james)) broke up with me in April and we had been going out for 4 months.. i really liked him alot.. he was probably the one guy i liked the most.. well i really missed him for a while and i would talk to him online and we'd be friends.. but then he started to become popular and snobby to me... then we were fighting and he called me a slut.. so i blocked him and he's been blocked.. and now its summer and i never see him or talk to him.. but i still have feelings for him.. i mean i don't like him as much as i used to but thinking of him makes me sad and i miss him.. i can't tell if i really still like him.. but i wanna hate him so badly!.. so then i have my other ex boyfriend ((pete)) who i broke up with in novemeber.. and he's still in love with me.. he really likes me a lot.. and he's such a sweet guy with a great personality and he always makes me laugh.. so here's the deal.. whenever i see pete.. i like him.. but then a few days after i see him im like.. well i don't know if i like him.. but he's like the perfect guy for me.. but there's not a big spark.. so my questions are.. do you think i still like my ex james??.. do you think i should give pete another chance and go out with him??.. and what can i do to get over james quicker?? sry its longg (link)
There's no actual way to get over a guy weather its a crush or an exboyfriend. It's extreamly hard if its you first or if you've been going out for a while. There's nothing you can do to just get rid of someone from your thoughts, you'll just grow out of them but it takes time...alot of time. Pete sounds like a nice guy and if your both willing to give this another shot then do it but you really gotta think. Take some time and just talk to yourself or write it down on how you feel and in the end decided. And if things don't work out you two can always still be friends.


what exactly is a condom ,where do u put it, do girls where them, and what do they do? is there a certain age to buy them? (link)
A condom is basically protection people use who are having sex to get a baby. It look like a long, stretchy, plasticy balloon. People have developed female condoms they're a bit more comlicated though. I don't think there's a certain age to buy them although they should. They even get passed out free in certain highschools.


What are some really easy ways to make money besides babysitting? (link)
Mowing lawns, car wash, gardening, paper person, recycling...


How can I get guys to like me....Im 13 and have never had a boyfirend...is that like abnormall? (link)
No, ofcourse its not abnormal you can have a boyfriend anytime. To get a guy to like you you gotta just be yourself.


so i was wondering
how do you solve your acne problems? (link)
Well I don't bresk out as much as most people. I just wash my face with cleansers and after gym I wash my face.


does anyone here wear lancome juicy tubes? are they good? (link)
yes i have juicy tubes. they're ok kinda sticky and you need to recoat your lips alot b/c it drys up.


I'm a 17 year old female and about to enter Junior year at high school. When my mom and me moved to a new place last month, I didn't think I'd be staying that long (figured that when I turned 18 I'd be moving out). Now I've decided to stay there until I graduate, and I want a look that's fun and creative, but relatively simple as well. My furniture consists of a bed that has a drawer underneath, and a rolltop desk (they are both nearly the same very light colored wood, though they're not supposed to match). We live in apartments, so we're not allowed to paint... does anyone have any ideas of things to put up on my walls, etc. so that my room won't be quite so boring? I don't want to have band posters or anything, and I want it to be fun, but I still want it to look mature. (link)
Well that all depends on what you like and price ranges. You can try some beaded curtains for you doorway. Thet come in all shapes, sizes, and color and cost from $15-$30. I'd give you more advice if I knew what you like. Like hobbies, sports, animals, colors, vacation spots, things like that.


school starts september 7th so i definitely need to dye my hair, get my nails done, get a haircut, etc. lately, i've heard of people asking to get their hair 'thinned' when getting a haircut. i've seen the the results and the hair looks different. like the texture. so my question is: what is hair thinning? how do they do it? what does it do to your hair?.. do you think it looks good?

thanks in a advance! i rate 5's. (link)
hair thinning is takin layers off the extra bulk off. They cut they extra hair volume off.It just makes it less thick. It'll look good if you have thick hair.


OK my ex boyfriend calls me everyday to talk about his day. He slips in a sentence about me and him then he talks about his girlfriends. Yes that is plural. He has more than 1. He asks me to rate him on how hot he is on a scale from 1-10. I rate him a 7 and a half. He has a nice body but he's not niice to me when we date. This guy, does he still like me or not? I rate! Sorry so long. We had a relationship for 2 months before I found out he cheated on me. (link)
HELLO! Bootycall...he doesn't like you! Your just someone he can use and get some dude don't all for it break it off it was over when he started cheating on you not when you found out. This relationship is long over move on but its gonna take some time...Godd Luck.


i am redoing my room. the walls are white, and the rug is light-blue, which i cant change. does anyone have any ideas on what colors/theme i should use. i'm 14 if it helps. (link)
Try ocean- its white any many shades of the blue- green spectrum. For themes you can do tropical, winter(skiing), or just a blue room.


i usally do arounf 100 sit-ups everyday( not at once, but like 20-20-20-20-20) and i was wondering, how long will it be untill i see resultes?! (link)
Doing just sit-ups won't help you lose wait. You gotta do a variety of excersies.


i broke up wit my exgirl a couple months ago but i cant stand bein away from her i want her back i feel like i cant live wit out her wut should i do? (link)
If you really like then try it out again but think...alot and take some time. Your probably just going through the after math. You'll get over it. But if in the end you decide to move on then do it slowly and don't do a rebound relationship real soon...Good Luck.


Is magic real? Can you really hypnotize people? I saw this thing on tv where this guy made this girl float..sounds totally not real but if you saw it you would probably believe it. But anyways, is it actually real? (link)
Magic is an illusion to the eye making it see something that isn't real. You can try to do but it takes practice. Yes you can really hypnotize people but only professionals do that.


hey...

..There's this guy I really like. I'm 14 years old and he's 17. We used to just be " buddies " and he used to talk to me about the girls that he liked but I knew that he would never in a million years talk about me that way. Boy, was I wrong.

..I've liked him for about two years now, and he's finally noticed me now since I " grew up " if you know what I mean. We've been talking about hooking up for a while now, but the problem is is that he's my brother's friend and if my brother found out that I was hooking up with his friend he would kill me and his friend. So... we really don't know what to do. At first we decided to just be friends with benefits lol :) but that didn't work...We just keep on talking about how it would be soooooo great if we were actually bf and gf. I really don't know what to do about this because I don't want to mess up my brother's friendship with the guy and I don't want to lose someone that I like very much. Please help in any way that ya'll can. Thanks.

Dear Melisa,
Well keep being friends with this guy if you really like him but just tell your brother that you think he's cute but you don't gotta tell him everything. Sneaking around won't help you'll just get caught sooner or later. If you guys really like each other why not double date with your bro and one of his girl friends. Good Luck.


I have another week left of summer before I go on holiday and I have nothing planned. I fell out with my best friend 2 weeks ago. We are in the same group of friends, but I haven't heard from any of them, and if I see them I see her. I don't mind putting up with her for a bit, but if I arranged anything she would have to come along.
I have another friend I have been seeing quite a lot of, but I think we are getting a bit sick of each other. I was meant to be going to a music festival today with her, and some of her friends, but I couldn't go because my mum didn't want me to travel on the train by myself. I've just been sitting around all day with nothing to do, like I probably will the rest of the week. Please give me some advice, I'll rate ya high. (link)
Sometimes friends grow aart from each other try making new friends hang out with other people join a club or sport or camp...good luck.
