Is there a surgery you can have to get rid of scars and what is it called and how much does it cost? Don't tell me not to do it because your not answering my question!

http://www.plasticsurgery.org/public_education/procedures/ScarRevision.cfm

You can go there and explains the different types of scar revision surgery. Also, have you tried the Mederma scar cream? I'm not sure if you've seen it on commercials or not, but its supposed to soften scars and make them smoother. You can look at your local CVS, Walmart, or drug store.

Im so bored this summer! I have no friends..It sucks. I do during the school year but when summer comes no one calls me to hang out :( what do i do

You can..

- Call your friends and ask them if they want to go to a local cafe/coffeehouse and just catch up on things.
- Go see a local band play.
- Go to the library. I went there a couple of days ago and they had some magazines and I looked at some books and relaxed on the big comfy couch. xDD
- Your local library can have an 'open mic' sorta thing where you can discuss books that you've read and share your favorite/least favorite moments, ect.
- Go to your city/state's official site and look for some activities happening in the local park, like Jazz festivals, fourth of July parades, ect.
- Go to a gokart place or minigolf with your younger/older brother/sister or your cousins.
- Go to a crafts site and look for a bunch of different things that you can do with old items that you don't need, and redecorate them. Such as: old pillowcases, decorate a lampshade from an old, antique lamp sitting in a box in the basement, ect.
- Walk your dog at the local park.
- Ride your bike.

Those are some ideas.

Hope I helped!

what do you think should be around the right weight for me? im 13/f about 5'2 or 3 idk, around 100 lbs going up or down(it depends on the day). i'm pretty thin i guess, but i dont like my thighs or lower stomach.

Go to google and type in 'BMI'. It's a body mass index calculator that determines if you are underweight, healthy, or overweight. You are in the right percentile for your age and height.

I used this calculator:
http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

You are actually a little below the 'healthy' category when you weigh 100 pounds. But since you said that your body often gains and loses some pounds, your BMI can go from 17.5 [underweight] or even up to 18.5 [healthy]. Even if your percentile is 17.5, it doesn't mean that you are sick and have anorexia, or anything, it just means that you could stand to gain some weight.

&& For your thighs, do lunges and squats every day. For your stomache, lay on your back, and put yourself in a 'crunch position'. Come up to your knees, and cross over with your right elbow to your left knee, and your left elbow to your right knee, then start a bicycle maneuver, and 'pedal' in the air as if you were on a bicycle. Remember to stay commited to these workouts, don't just expect to see results in a few days.

Ok so at the moment I am in hawaii at my aunts house and the place is INVESTED with roaches. usually i wouldnt mind them, but yesterday they were all over my bed and it was gross. we dont have time for an exterminator and wouldnt want one because of a price...so does anyone know any homemade tricks on how to trap roaches? i heard theres one trick about peanut butter and a jar but im not sure...

I don't know of any home remedies that involve roaches. Your best bet is to get an exterminator. This is not what you wanted to hear, but thats the only way.

Go to that site and read all of the tips, they seem helpful. Also, don't keep dirty dishes piled up, and take out your trash.

On the 4th of july i'm going to sell little kits/bags of different kinds of items that would be fun for 4th of July. I'm going to sell them at this big feild where all activities are happening and the fireworks are going to be. What kind of stuff should I put in the bags, and how much should i charge. I already know about putting glowsticks in, but i need other ideas!

The bags that you put all of the little items in, should have a patriotic theme on them.

You could have candies that have red, white and blue on them.. I found some candy ideas on a site:

- Blue & Red Lollipops, Jolly Ranchers.
- Three Musketeers. [they have blue, red, and white on their wrapper].
- Babe Ruth chocolate bars.
- Red, white and blue tootsie rolls.
- 100 Grand chocolate bars.

You can look at Walmart, or Price Chopper, or your local grocery store, they should have special kinds of chocolate. Like patriotic hershey kisses, ect.

ALSO, remember to buy candy in bulk !! Buy the miniature chocolates, not seperate candy bars.

You could also have..

- American Flags
- Patriotic Pinwheels [red white and blue]
- Red, White, and Blue colored balloons

You can take a look at this craft site and it can give you an idea about what crafts you can make for the fourth of July.

http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/specialfeature/july-4th-crafts/

One of the activities uses a empty tissue tube. You can cover it in crepe paper, and glue on little streamers from the ends.
&&
I think that you should charge 8 dollars a bag. It depends on how many things that you put inside of the bag.

have you ever heard of the game truth? well it's basically what it's called, you ask questions and obviously have to tell the truth, and if you don't want to answer hten you say pass...but then you lose...so i'm playing this game with a friend of mine...and i need some questions..b/c i'm really horrible at this...so any questions would be good...i'll take as many as you can give me!!

thanks!

All of the questions start in 'have you ever..?' or 'what is..?'. Me and my friends play it all the time at lunch. xD

Have you ever stolen anything?
Have you ever kissed a guy?
Have you ever thought of doing something romantic with your best friend's brother/sister?
What is the dirtiest movie you have ever seen? In that movie, what was the best part?
Have you ever bumped into someone to get their attention, or for a quick feel? Who was it, and what happened?
Have you ever talked about someone, then had them overhear you saying it?

Just ask questions about their personal lives, what they want to do in the future, stuff like that.

i am goin to be in a new school this year and i wanna get along w/ everyone and have lotsa friends. but there are alot a bullies in school and i don't wanna pick a fight ever.is there any way i cud get along w/ anybody--even bullies??? i wud appreciate help...tnx

Well, you have to realize that everybody can't like you, and everybody can't be your friend. Just remember not to start fights. Don't spread rumors behind anyone's back. If you start rumors, they lead to more rumors from the other person, and then they get people to be mad at you, just because they say so, and then more people will dislike you. Don't cause any drama. Stay cool, and friendly.

Ok, I have planter's warts on my feet and have tried to remove them, but nothing works. Does anybody know any solutions or ahs anybody HAD a planter's wart removed?
I'm wayy scared to go to a doctor, so please tell me the process of how it was removed, even though it's kinda gross.

thanks

I had a wart on my knee. I tried ALL of the over-the-counter medications and freezing tools. They didn't work.

I checked a site and it said that you can soak your feet in hot water to soften the wart. Make sure that it's not TOO hot in spite of burning yourself.

If that doesn't help, then..

My mom took me to the dermatologist and they prescribed me a special cream. I tried the cream and after a week, it didn't really help that much. So, when I came back to the derm., she just froze it off. It's quick, and a little painful. Just be sure to grip the counter when he/she freezes it off to 'release' the pain. xD

ok well i snore and im 13 and its very embarissing . but see it runs in the family everyone on my moms side snores and it really really loud and when im over my friends houses they make fun of me and im only one who snores out of all my friends what can i do to stop it?

ehow.com/how_116173_stop-snoring.html

That's sorta like a 'how to' guide on how to stop snoring. Try those nasal strips that you might've seen on the commercials. Make sure that you're not taking any sleeping pills, because that increases your snoring. Like I said, that site has a little guide that you can look at.

do girls like it when you look them in the eye when you talk to them

Yes, us girls LOVE it when guys look at us whilst having a conversation.

It shows the girl that you are deeply, lets say, 'absorbed' in the conversation.

Wandering off with your eyes can show that you are unsure of the topic, or you're not really interested in having conversations.

Keep them focus, or 'fixed' on the girl. It's like the quote from the movie 'Hitch'. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but one of the quotes is about looking the girl in the eye, and not looking at her breasts, thinking when you guys will be in bed.

Sorry if I was confusing. Heh.

So, just make eye contact, and you'll be fine.

Has anyone been to the Galapagos Islands? If so, how was it and would you recommend anyone else going?

Personally, I haven't been there. I've seen a segment on TV about it, though. I was really amazed at the beauty of the place !! Galapagos has amazing sealife there. There are many rare species of animals that live in Galapagos, that aren't around the states or in other parts of the world. If you're into photography, that would be the number one place to get great pics.

Some of the wildlife included:
Giant Tortoises
Iguanas
Geckos
Snakes
Lava Lizards
Galapagos Penguins
ect.

The Giant Tortoises are the main beauties of Galapagos. There are only 11 of them left in the world, and most of them reside in Galapagos.

You can go to this website:

To learn more about the wildlife.

Hey I am going to my boyfriends house and I am kind of nervouse. Any advice on how to calm my nerves and any tips to leave a good impression?

I answered a question like this before. Here are some DO's and DON'Ts.

DO -
Be comfortable.
Compliment her hair, outfit, home, ect.
Bring up some real life topics. If she's someone who watches the news a lot and is into the current things that are happening, bring up a topic about whats going on in the world.
Wear something nice and classy. Don't wear like a huge wedding dress or something, be simple.
Be simple with your makeup. Put a little eyeshadow on. Some mascara, maybe even some eyeliner. Go for a coral/light pink color for your lips. And some light blush.

DON'T -
Wear something skanky that shows a lot of cleavage or wear a really short skirt and fishnets, that'll definitely send the wrong message.
Don't be nervous!
Start making out with your boyfriend at the dinner table or something.
Burp, slurp, ect.

hi...my best friend in the whole world paul likes me and i like him!! But the problem is he has a girlfriend, tamarah, and we are best friends!!! If she finds out that we want to lip lock at this local club, she would kill me!! How can i keep my emotions with paul and keep my friendship with tamarah?
from confused connie

You have to remember that Paul and Tamarah are boyfriend and girlfriend. If she catches you guys flirting or kissing, it will all be over. You let your hormones go crazy and just stole your best friends boyfriend, and she probably wouldn't be able to trust you again. I'm sure that Paul would break up with Tamarah if he truly didn't like her. When they break up, wait awhile, and then see if you still want to hook up with him. Don't hook up with him right after they break up. Don't let your feelings for Paul show. You can like him, but right now wouldn't be the best idea.

i don't really think this is in the right category, but anyways,
when i put soap or acne wash on my face, should i wash it off as soon as i put it on, or leave it on for a little while to get into my skin?

thanks in advance.

You need to leave it on for a little while. You can't just wash it off immediately after you put it on, you're not letting the chemicals dissolve into your skin to actually help fight OFF acne. Leave it on for 1-2 minutes. Walk around, watch TV, get something to drink, and then wash it off.

Hope I helped!
