I'm 19/f and I have horrible dark undereye circles. I think it's genetic (all the women in our family have it) and I was wondering if there was any natural way to decrease the severe dark color under my eyes without using makeup to cover it? Right now I cover it up with a light foundation (haven't found any concealers to my liking) and it works well for the most part, but the circles are still visible. Any remedies, ideas, suggestions...? Thanks!

leave to spoons in the freezer for about 20mins then hold them under your eyes. it works wonders i just tryed it like two mins ago and im very inpressed. hope it works if not try some cover up.

im back with my boyfriend james, we went out for 9 months and broke up a month ago but now we're goin out again, he cheated on me with my bestfriend and this really dirty chick. but i coudlnt help the things he says to me hes so nice. is it wrong that im back with him? this boy scotty who has been my friend always was so mad and punched him in the face when he saw me cryin when i found out. he said hed never treat a girl like that and if he does it again he'll rip him apart because he loves me.. he told me he has major feelings too and i think i like him, what should i do

well i always say everyone deserves a second chance, but i really hate dudes that cheat.
you have to ask yourself if you can handle getting hurt again. im not saying thats definatly going to happen but its very pessible. if they do it once theres a big chance theyll do it agian.
i personally would dump james and try something with scott. you like him and its so obvious hes into you. and i dont think scott would do the things james would do

well i just got my period on friday (aobut 5 days ago) and i used these pads for a few days..but they are so long and fat in width! so then i went to the store and i got a thiner one width way but then its like really thick! and your can see it through my shorts that i have to wear for volleyball! are there any kinds or brands that i should know of that would work for my problem??? and i was wondering how long it normally takes a girl to learn to use a tampon..scince summer is coming up..i jus got a inground pool so all of my friends will be over here like 24/7! thxs so much!

when you buy pads, look for the ones that say ultra thin they work really well. and tampons are very easy to use. the box includes step by step instructions on how to insert the tampon.

Alright, well I have been going out with my boyfriend for a couple weeks now! Well somehow him and my friend got into a conversation about like doing stuff. Not her and him but my bf and me. He said that he was going to do something, like finger me I guess.. at this thing we went to together but he heard that I didn't want it to happen and she said that he should just do it. Well I have never been fingered before and I guess she thought it wasn't a big deal. And usually things for the first time are a big deal! So I don't know what to do.. I am scared of what is going to happen like what should I do and what is it going to be like and like.. yeah I shave I'm just nervous that it'll be maybe prickly or like weirdish down there. Could someone help me out?? :-) thanks!

if your scared of being prickly then just make sure that you shave down there beofre you hang out. and dont worry if you are i dont think hell care much.
dont be nervous youll be fine, if you dont like it then you can ask him to stop.

Okay well i have been on a diet for about a month now. I have lost 10 pounds. (I'm pretty big so i'm nowhere close to goal weight.) I was wondering if anyone had any tips to speed up the weight loss? And also, I know it takes time, but no one has even noticed that I lost weight so it is starting to really get to me. It is very hard to stick to a diet but I am doing it and no one is even noticing! Some people still make fun of me and it gets discouraging. Does anyone know what I could do to just block out what they say until I lose all the weight?

wow 10 punds in one month id say thats pritty awsome i have to say. keep doing wat ever it is you doing.people probly wonly notice right away you have to give it some time. dont let what people saybother you f8ck them.

but next time you and you parter do somthing you should make sure that know one will find out so this wonlt happen.

A week months back I was informed my friend gave someone else a hand-job. She's 14. I know, to some people this is normal, but we live in a nice small town where nothing like that ever really happens. Here it's different. I asked her if there was anymore and she 'swore on her music' I told her to never let him back in her house again because she claims he forced her into it. (She's in love with music, anything that has to deal with music). SO, naturally I believed her. Yesterday I found out new information. She had given a hand-job twice, a blow-job one, made out alot and let him feel her up. She never told me. She claims that she's scared, I would be too. I'm so mad about her not telling me. I'm her 'best friend'? Why don't I feel like it?

first off you should ask her if the information is true. its very easy for rumors about one person to get started. you dont feel like her best friend b/c shes not including you in her life at the moment. and dont worry the things she is doing are perfectly normal when you start getting olderyou probly will only know a few people who havent done these things.

How can I get my mom to let me get my ears pierced? She says I have to wait until I'm fsxking 16! I just turned 15 two days ago!!! She says people would say I look like a sissy. Ok. Well, only the shallow asshats would actually say that out loud, and even then I don't care. They can bite me. But she says I have to wait until the age even SHE got them! 1) I am not a woman 2) I am not my mother.

M/15. I'm just /curious/ as to how I would look in them! If I dont like them I could just let it cover up. I seriously don't see her logic in this other than the usual parent crap 'I want you to be just like me and grow up the same way.'

i dont think you would look like a sissy at all. i think guys that have there ears peirced are hott. just ask your mom. and if she still says no. then just do it yourself. it doesnt hurt at all i did 2 in each ear by myself. if she notices then just tell her to f*ck off and that there not coming out.

well ok well i broke up with my bf b/c he two timed me and so i broke up with him of corse but now i still like him and he is going out with one of my bestfriends but i know he dosent like her because he told my other bestfreind and i still like him and my bestfreind said he still loved me but should i trust him if we do get back together?

i rate high!
thanx!

hmm thats very complicated. i personaly would try my hardest to get over him. i dont think i could ever trust im again. if he liked you as much as he says i dont think he would have cheated on you. and really wouldnt have went out with one of your bestfriends. this guys sounds like a real ass. i say forget him. you can do way better then him. i bet theres plenty of guys who would like to date you and will be faithful.

ok first off you should brake up wih your current b/f. its not right to go out with someone you dont really have feelings for. and there are chances that the boy you like is only sticking with his g/f because you are with yours. maybe when you brake up with your b/f he will do the same and make a move because he told you he likes you, and he probly hasnt done anything b/c you have b/f.

Im 15 years old and me and my boyfriend are haveing sex with out a condom and the other night he went in my twice can i still get pregnet even if im on the pill????

the pills not 100% effective. so theres a chance that you could be pregnant but its a slim one. even if your on the pill you should still be using condoms. the pill doesnt protect against disease.

Ok so finally after a month of being 16, im going to get my permit. My only problem is i havent studdied the book since my birthday . I got the book 2 weeks before my bday and studdied it up to my bday, but since then i havent studdied it..now i cant find the book.
My question : Is the permit test for New York hard? Do you think i will be able to pass based on common sense? What questions do they ask? Should i wait more and take it some other time? Today is a good day though because im off from school...its hard to take it because the place that gives the test is open mon-fri and the latest test they give is at 3 or something..im so busy with sports and school this seems like a good day..but maybe i should wait..i dont know?

i think you will do fine. its a really easy test. im only 15 so i havent taken it but my older sister has and she got a 100 on it and barley studied the book. most of the questions are commom sense.
good lucka dn hope i could help

I moved here in 6th grade and I've always wanted to be popular...So I tried hanging with the white popular people and it seriously was HARD work!! Each year, things got better..and now I'm at that point where we'd be better friends if I'd invite them over (I haven't invited them over yet because I'm embaress that they will say that my house is small compared to theres..or that they will make fun of my lifestyle..and everything) I'm now in 11th grade..and I really want to be friends with these people..I don't think I can keep a close relationship with them if I never invite them over...I'm just very embaressed of the way I live...Compared to them, I'm so much uglier and poorer..and they're rich...Please don't judge..Thanks

I say invite them over. if they judge you b/c you dont have as much money as them then there people that i personally wouldnt want to be friends with and i dont know anyone who would want to be.
but if you still dont want to invite them over why not ask them to go to the movies with you or mall or some hang out in your town.

I am a 13 year old girl and in 7th grade. I would describe my clothes style as preppy. However, the music I normally listen to is (in my opinion, I really don't know) far from preppy. I listen to bands like Green Day, The Killers, Linkin Park, and Evanesence (I don't think I spelled that right). I was just wondering if anyone thought this was weird. I can listen to some "preppy" music (a.k.a- stuff you would find on TRL) but most of it really bugs me, because it doesn't soud like they are the people singing. Again, does anyone think that this is odd? Sorry for the length, but I was just wondering! Thanks in advance to all that reply!

i dont think that just b/c you listen to a certain kind of music you have to dress like the people that play the music. be yourself. dress the way you want. listen to the music you wanna.

first of all, i apologize for the misspelling of 'skating', and the general idiotic appearance of the title. but it worked, didn't it? you came in here to correct me! :P

i am a 16 year-old rookie skater (female) who can't ollie yet.

i was at the skateboard-city.com forums, and this guy posts a rather mean post about how most of the girls that skate are posers, who skate to try to get with 'skater boys', or to get the whole 'skater punk rock' look.

whe someone calls you a poser, the first reaction is to deny it. so of course all of the female skaters on that site protested, but it made ME wonder...

am i a poser? i wish i could say no, but i honestly don't know. there are various reasons why i started to skate (about six mo. ago).

i can definitely say that i didn't start skateboarding because i thought the 'skater style' was hot or anything. i am a "girly-girl" however, i'm not so sure about the skater boy factor. what if i unconsciously DID start to skate because i wanted to meet skater boys? i know it's definitely true that i wanted to make some friends (regardless of gender) through skateboarding.

also the fact that skateboarding - just skateboarding around your town and on the streets itself looked "cool" was a part of the reason why i started. but is this necessarily bad? don't guys get inspired, after seeing a skating video, to do better because of how 'cool' it looks?

and, is it possible to start off as a poser (start skating to look cool or meet guys or whatever) but to change along the way?

sorry about the length. however, i'd really appreciate it if someone (hopefully a skater themselves) replied. thanks in advance. i rate.

i honestly dont think your a poser. as long as your doing somthing that makes you happy and its what you want to do your not a poser. dont listen to what other people say. theres always gonna be people that want to bring you down, you just have to learn to ignore them and do what you want because you simply want to. and just tell the haters to f**k off.
