Q: Does pro activ really work? any body ever tryed it, how long did it take for you to have clear skin.? any dis-advantages?

Yes,i have been using Pro Active for.....a year?I don't know.Point is it's been a long time.I actually stopped using it for like two months because of financial issues and I actually noticed the differnce in my skin.My skin is normally for the most part clear except for that damn monthly harmonal time, but those you can't help. Um...let's see disadvantages....only thing I can think about is the cost.It's not cheap.

Q: What Are Sex Bracelets? lol
-->Thanks I RATE :-)

Basically they are just bracelets that supposedly "mean" something if someone breaks them off the owner.Example:Black I think was you have to have sex with the person who broke it. They were a big fad last year.And each color represents something.To sum it up some people had too much time on their hands and made up something sexual to each color braclet and sold them to horny kids across the nation.

Q: I just found out from my friends that I am going to Homecoming with them, which is next saturday! my family's budgit is very low and we can't afford to buy a brand new dress. I have my old dress from last years 8th grade dance. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to make it look different. Here is a picture of the dress:

I appretiate any ideas!
Thanks!

Add a layer of white tulle underneath the skirt of the dress.

Q: My friend died her hair BLACK see i think it looks good but she doesn't..so does neone know how to get hair dye outta hair like..everyday home uses and stuff..like someone told us dishsoap..that didnt work to well but if neone knows then ples give me advice to help my friend thanx

I remeber reading somewhere that black dye will not come out of your hair once you dye it.Meaning your friend will have to wait until her hair grows out.I however do not know how true that is. Depending on the quality of the dye it will probably fade over time.But if she really hates it she isn't going to want to wait.I guess she could try washing it repeadedly.....

Q: but i am a die hard fan! :/ thats why it makes me saaaaaaaad! What do you think would happen if i just frizzed up my bangs like the rest of my hair?

I think it would still look great.Honestly.I don't think it would make that big of a difference.I say go for it with bangs!

Q: I finally figured out what I'm going to be. Magenta from rocky horror picture show. http://www.midnightinsanity.com/Photo/Cast/Markbecky.htm
thats what it looks like... and as you can see her hair is long and parted in the middle. i have bangs! what should i do?

PLEASE HELP?!?

First off WOW!The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of my all time favorite movies.That's really cool.A little off topic I know sorry anyways....it sounds as if you have the color and curliness issues already figured out.But about your bangs....I am assuming they are on the shorter side if you are sking about them.As I see it you have three options.Option #1-Wear a wig. Option #2-Put your bangs under the front pieces of your hair.And secure them either with a bobbi pin, hair spray, or whatever.Option #3-Forget them.Jut leave them down with your hair.....I bet you 99.9% of people won't even notice.Only die hard Rocky Horror fans would.;)

Q: okay i have a big problem! i was all excited because i just got my cartlidge done! but i came home and told my best friend! and she asked what ear i got done and i told her my right one! and she said that if a girl gets just her right cartlidge done...that means shes a lesbian?! omg i'm all upset now! is that realli what rumors say?! because i'm definitly NOT one!
i'll rate you a 5!

Shit.I guess I should change mine.Seriously though I didn't choose to get my right cartilage pierced because I am a lesbian I chose it because I like my right ear better at the topthan my left.(I swear to you they are different.)Mainly it's just a guy thing.But hey, maybe for girls it will catch on. Although in your and my case I hope it doesn't.

Q: I just bought sims 2 today and i was soo excited to finally get it. When i started playing it though, my computer kept freezing and moving really really slowly! I'm soo frustrated i'm ready to chuck it out the friggin window..any idea whats wrong?

It takes up way too much memory to have however many sims games you have and sims 2.So yeah you are going to have to pick which one you really want on your computer because having them both is going to cause some problems...

Q: I love Halloween and I have no clue what to be. Does anyone have a good idea? PLease help!

For Halloween I am being a gothic ballerina.Ok being since you gave not hint of your gender I am guessing you are a girl.Just a guess though.Or you could be holy shit! Seriously I saw the costume at Spencer's last year I couldn't stop laughing the entire day. Dress in brown and add a halo.Last year my mommy said no....maybe you will have better luck.

Q: well theres this guy...we'll just call him bill...well i rlly like bill and i think he likes me too...he's moving to florida and the end of the school year which is in june...im really upset b/c i rlly liked him...i want to leave him with a good im pression today so that he'll go crazy and like me even more...i was thinkin of my friend askin to take a picture of us and then after she'll be like wait one more..and when she counts to three ill kiss his cheak in the picture...what do u think?

You rEAlly think too much.Do something on an impulse.Not planned.Chances are if you plan things and picture things how they are supposed to turn out they never do.(Trust me on this one.) But yeah I guess that would be kinda cute.

Q: Hey guys....
I'm kind of really sad right now....Since my girl friend and I have been going out (8 months) she has promised me time after time that she doesn't pleasure/finger herself. In fact when I used to say Krysta I think you do she would get so mad and say shes not like that and she really doesn't.
Last night I was going through her email, and she had signed up for www.loveforum.net. The user name that was in that email was never activated so I didn't think about it again until I asked her why she signed up.
On first off she said she NEVER heard of the site and her brother probably did it, or maybe she did it awhile ago and forgot about it. I took that and accidently clicked on a link called 'Pleasure for girls' in the Sex Talk forum. The user name was PhillyChick847, which is what she goes by sometimes.
She was asking for advice on how to give herself pleasure, and hide it from me. She said she does it 3 times a week in the forum when she told me she NEVER has ever done it.
She denyed that she typed that and said there is more than one phillychick online, I took that! Then just for myself, I tried to login with my name as the password and it WORKED! After me telling her I would dump her on the spot if she didn't admitt it she admitted it.
She was so upset that she cut herself...I was really upset because I can't believe she would go behind my back and do this....its almost UNBELIEVEABLE. She told me she loved me sooo much and she was sorry...she said she just did it because it felt so good when I did it to her.
She still said she doesn't do it that often, but she can't explain why she typed that. Heres the link to the post: http://www.loveforum.net/showthread.php?t=3965
She made 3 posts and they ALL disturbed me ALOT.
I threw up like 4 times last night, I can't belive she would do this....I'm so upset...I mean maybe if she didn't lie to me it wouldn't be such a big deal. The thing that even disturbs me more is on the time stapms right after I walked her home from the bus stop she went in and did this...and shes really interested in finding more ways...I think the damage to my head is already done.
I still LOVE her so much but I don't know if I want to be with her....she can say shes not going to do it again but no one can stop once they do it, especially if she does it that much...I really do LOVE her but I don't know what to do...That really disturbed me ALOT! can everyone please help me?
Should I break up with her...please help guys...please....

Thanks in advance
Dave

Most guys masturbate.Just cause she's a girl why can't she?You definately found out the wrong way. You shouldn't have to read through her emails and shit to find out things like that.She also shouldn't have to hide it from you.If it grosses you out so much don't think about it.It's not like she does it in front of you.So Davey,your quetsion was if you should break up with her.My answer is what the hell is wrong with your girlfriend...she should of broken up with you!

Q: how old do u have to be to get epancipated ((divorced from ur parents))? anyone no? thanx

I honestly think it depends on the state.The youngest I have heard of was 16.But in order to get eMancipated you have to prove to the judge that there is a reason to be out of the care of your parents.Also you have to hold a standing job.And have a place to live.Give it some thought before you do anything too drastic.Make sure you are positive with your decision.

Q: ok, I just recently dumped my bf of three months. I'm 13/f, and I felt really bad about dumping him. I had thought about it all the time. On the school bus he acted fine, but I could tell he was hurt. I also heard a nasty rumor about him. (it's soo gross) But I kind of dumped him for that, and feel so rude. So at the dance, he asked me to dance, I said sorry for dumping him. We danced, and it was awesome. We're back together again. So...

1. Did I make the right decision?
2. Should I believe the nasty rumor?
3. WILL SOMEONE HELP ME?

You didn't really elaborate on some things so the questions are a little difficult to answer.But I will try my best.

1.You made the right decision of getting back together with him if you are really happy with him and still like him.If you don't then no and maybe you should re-think it...
2.That seriously depends on how nasty the rumor was.For example if it was he hooked up with the school slut or picked his nose boogers in class. So yeah it just depends what it was and how far out it was.
3.Hopefully I helped.And if not I am sorry.If I answered things differently then you really meant...just restate the question add details and drop it in my inbox.

Q: This is a REALLY stupid question but, do you know those iPod commercials where the silouette of people are dancing around...well anyway, there is this one song that they have been doin latley and it sounds really cool, BUT I DONT KNOW THE NAME!! its a kinda rock song and its really fast. Does anyone know this song??? Thanks, ill rate.

Q: ok I'm a rocker . And I usually wear all the dark eyeliner and eyeshadow . But , I have really light brown honey-colored eyes . What should I do for makeup ? I have black hair , light brown/hazel eyes , and I'm pale with some freckles . And my hair is short , layered , and flippy . I don't want to look like the old way anymore . I want to look better and change my appearance .

Sheena is a punk rocker now...Or in your case she's not.Anyways I actually prefer dark eye makeup. But with your color eyes,your right it might not be the best for you.Stick with the brownish goldish eyeshadows.Do trial and error eventually you will find a color that is right for you.Same goes for eyeliner.Give up black for a pretty chocolate brown.Everyone needs a little change once in a while but try to make it gradual.As for your hair I am not sure if your hair is naturally black or is dyed black you didn't really specify.If the color is bothering you and it is your natural color then go for a few shades lighter.If it is dyed black enjoy the wait of letting it grow out.

Q: whos pierced there own cartilage? did it get badly infected? or worse? i read about this girl who got it done and something shattered in her ear and it got deformed. did anything serious happen to any of you?

I know of someone you did but I would not recommend it.Even getting your cartilage pierced by a professional it can get infected,or deformed,et cetera.So no I really don't think it's a good idea.But I don't make desicions for you.So if you do do it yourself remember to sterilize everything and take it out if you think it really might be infected.I got mine done at Claires for like fifteen bucks.And it didn't hurt. If you are hell bent on piercing your ears though aim for your earlobes you have a much less chance of infection and pain.

Q: Hi well my boyfriends friends come up and pinch my ass , everytime I ask them to stop they ust kiss me like Im thier own and my boyfriend lets them what do I do?

Either your boyfriend doesn't know how to handle the situation himself or frankly he really just doesn't give a shit.Try talking to him alone. Explain to him that you feel uncomfortable around his friends and you don't like the way they treat you.Remind him that you are dating him and not his friends.They have no right.If all else fails and it continues to happen maybe you should really overlook your relationship with your boyfriend....it might be time to part.

Q: Hey..
I already have my ears pierced but I would like to either get my cartilage pierced or my ears double-pierced..what do you prefer? Which looks better? Hurts more/less? THANKS*PAST EXPERIENCE IS GOOD TO STATE TOO*

I have both the double pierced and cartilage. Being since you have already had your first holes done you can kind of judge how bad that's going to hurt...it will feel about the same.The cartilage I didn't even feel.Honestly.Depending on your ear shape....I think the cartilage piercing would be better.If you do have abnormally shaped ears I'd just go with the double piercing.Or you could bag both of those and get the inside of your ear pierced.(Which I am now trying to convince my mom to let me do.) When you do get your ear(s) pierced remember to go to a respectable place.The cartilage piercings carry a greater risk of infection,deformity of the ear,et cetera.And the earing has to stay in for 8-12weeks.Where as the second hole you will have to stay in only for 6 weeks.Also if you do get your cartilage pierced go with the barbell. It's a 16gauge and has much better earrings when you finally get to change them. Weigh out your pros and cons and decide which is the best for you.Good luck!

Q: ok ive just answer like 10 questions and all of them have been deleted! like they wernt all innapropriate nether were mi answers! but its not fair that they got deleted...y did they tho

Because some people ask some really dumb questions or are frequently asked and the moderators delete them.To prevent this only answer questions that have smiley faces or half faces.That way you can almost be like 100% sure that your answers will remain on your columns.(The smiley faces I mentioned are on the right side on each post.)

Q: I am a theater freak. Recently I tried out for the play 'Aladdin'. But, I found out today I didn't get the part I want, and I got a small part instead. All my friends got cool parts like the Genie, Aladdin, Jasmine, the main parts. I feel really rejecting, I've never got rejected from a part I wanted before...

I wish our school did cool plays like Aladdin. Last year we did The Wizard of Oz.I was Glinda the good witch.I wasn't a huge part but I understand why I didn't recieve the part of Dorthy you know?Mainly because of my height but thats beside the point.If you are really serious about theater try joining a class to improve your skills.I bet Julia Roberts didn't get every part she tried out for.So don't let your small part bring you down.You still are part of the production and there is always next year.I will close with a quote from Shakespear I am sure you have heard a million times....'There are no small parts,only small actors.'
