Q: okk so on my myspace, i have the music, but it doesnt automatically play. i would like it to automtaically pplay, but it doesnt work.

also, if it helps, its crooked teeth by death cab for cutie

Well if its from their space, I tried adding it to mine, and its working. I guess it's just your computer, maybe when your friends go to your space it automatically plays for them but not for you?

You should ask your friends to go to your space and ask them if the song plays automatically.

If you have a code, I reccomend just going to www.myspace.com/deathcabforcutie and click 'add' under the song. It's easier.

PS I love Death Cab for Cutie! =)

Q: How do you become an experienced columnist in the browse columnist section? I rate high

You have to have at least 100 questions answered. Thats it =)

Q: This is kind of random but do you think that when someone losses thier virginity they should tell thier parents?

Only if they want to, and if they know their parents wont kill them. Some parents react differently.

Q: For my summer reading I have to read "To Kill a Mockingbird." I was wondering that if you have read it, what was it about, and did you enjoy it? Thank you very much.

I cant really explain it, you'll have to figure it out yourself. I read it my freshman year and loved it. Some parts may be boring, and some things you might not understand..but eventually you'll catch on. Trust me, you'll like it. It's not one of those boring school books.

If you need help with understanding the book more, and every chapter go to www.cliffnotes.com !

Q: how will i know i am going through a grow spert?

You wont know actually, next time you check your height and you'll just be taller.

Q: So this weekend I have a hockey tournament and Im playing 6 games in 2 days. But thats not the problem. It takes 1 hour to play a hockey game and I will be playing 2 games with only 10 minutes of down time. Yeah, and its tiring to play! I'm going to do this 3 times--- 2 games on friday, 4 on sunday with 10-20 minutes of downtime between each pair. OK. thats not making sence. But all I know is that my coach told me to get energy drinks. Which are really good ones that work pretty fast, like within 1 hour or so? I'll RATE!
Thanks
Cat

Like that other person said, energy bars are way more healthy and more safe for someone in a sport. Energy drinks have the same affect, but only for a little bit and after your all hyped up your slow throughout the day. So stick with an energy bar, any kind really...all energy bars are good.

If you'd like, you could have both at the same time..which could help you even more. And you wont get tired later because of the bar you ate. I personally like Sobe Nofear (black and red can) it has an awesome taste + wakes you up.

Good luck with the hockey tournament!

Q: Does anyone know of any good websites for girls..

I already know-
myjellybean.com
seventeen.com
beinggirl.com

Thanks! I'll rate!

http://www.ym.com/

It's another girl magazine and its great. It has quizzes, horoscopes, storys of teenage girls, fun stuff like that.

Q: I was suppossed to get my period around the end of last week and the beging of this week but i havnt gotten it......whats wrong??

I rate good

If you havent had your period for a long time (1-3 years), your period can be irregular once in a while. You may even skip a month here or there. But dont worry about it, it's normal. Instead..enjoy the free time you have! =)

Q: Hey, I'm 13/f and I'm concerned about my breasts. When they developed two years ago, they develpoed with lumps. Just one big lump in each, and they hurt badly if anyone hit it by accident. I also have a white discharge coming from my nipple. When I look closely, it looks like skin. Can a 13 year old have breast cancer? Since only moderators can rate, I can't. Atleast not yet.

A risk for breast cancer starts in your 20's, so dont worry about it. Their just developing, your only 13 so their probably just getting bigger.

Q: Hey. Well, I'm 14/f and African American living in Maryland...if that's any help. I was just wondering if you guys have any ideas of jobs that 14-year-olds can get in the summer. Thanks a bunch!

Hopefully these previously asked advicenators questions can help you:

Q: ok so i have been on and off with my boyfriend for about 2 months. He has dumped me 4 times and ive dumped him once and it's usually over a stupid fight and a day later he relizes what he's done and ask me to take him back, and i do. So it's summer and we dicided to keep in touch and stay togetasr. He recently got a myspace and is leaving all these girls picutres comments say damnn or cute pie, and gorgeous and stuff like that. I'll admit it i am jelous but should I be mad also. I dont want to confront him that would be way to awkward , i just dont no if i should be mad. Thankyou!

If it makes you feel bad, then yes you should confront him. Some girlfriends might not care, but if you do...say something.

Dont get mad and start screaming...just be like "Hey when you post those comments, I feel bad..can you not comment them anymore? Or when you do comment them, dont say anything about how hott they are"

If he says okay, then great.
If he gets mad and says no, well...that means he doesn't respect you! Your his girlfriend, the only comments about hottness should be directed towards you. So if he says he still wants to comment those girls, I'd re-think your relationship with him.

Q: last night the kid i like asked me out, the only thing is, i dont want a boyfreind right now because there is only 7 days left of the school year until summer! and i go away alot in the summer and i just want to be free and hang and chill and stuff. so i wouldn't be able to see him a lot. so i told him no, but didn't handle it the best way. i like him still and i want him to like me, but i feel bad! what should i do? talk to him about it? still flirt with him?

Tell him that you like him, but for the summer you want to stay single. Tell him when the new school year starts, you'd love to see if you guys could be something more than friends. He'll understand. You can still flirt with him, after the fact that you told him next year would be better for a relationship. I think he'll be okay with it because a lot of people like to just have fun over the summer. Hopefully this helped. =)

Q: okay well i am on my highschool cheer team and i am a back in my stunt group. before we go to camp we must have an extension. You know all the way up. well our flyer is brand new never cheered let alone flown before. we have a real good double base with craddle and just got a push up (double base pushing up to extension -- some people call it different things) well camp is at the end of the month and like i said we need a straight up extension. ive tried every peice of advice i could give our flyer but is there anyother tips i could give her to get over her fear and get her up easier? thanks sooo much =]

You should go to www.varsity.com , and look through tips and drills. They have a lot of cheerleading/stunt advice.

If you dont find anything, join the forums here:

And ask the question under 'stunts'.
Hundreds of cheerleaders and coaches will be able to help you!

Q: could you guys give me some ideas for myspace poses for pictures? nothing slutty though. just cute poses.

Peace signs.
Kissy faces.
"Emo" faces. (look sad)
Just do cute/funny expressions, find some you like and take the pictures.

=)

Q: When blocking someone on myspace, what actually happens? Will the user be sent a message saying so? Im not too sure on what it means. Would it mean that if they went to anothers myspace, and you were within the comments, they wouldnt be able to see you or something? Please explain : ]

When you block someone from myspace, they can still view your space & pictures but cannot add you.

I'm pretty sure they can still send messages. The block system on myspace is stupid, you should just set yourself to private (by having your age 14 years or 15 years) and you can choose who you want to be your friends. And only your friends can look at your space.

Q: I have red dots all over my skin (its not razor burn) I have them on my arms and legs mainly. I have tried many types of creams including olay quench (that has worked the best) and i use moisterizing body wash (I have also tried many brands of bady wash) The thing is whenever I use the cream my skin feels really soft and smooth but I still see red dots. I was wondering what i could do to make them go away.

Thanks in advance!

It could be a allergic reaction to those creams, like the person below me said.

But do you think it could be bug bites?

Well whatever it is, you should get it checked out by a doctor if they dont go within the next few days.

Dont use any more cremes unless your doctor tells you to.

Q: What are some brands of mascara that make eyelashes REALLY long? I have an okay mascara by Clinique, but it gets kind of gloppy. So could you write if you have any preferable types that fit the description?

Lash Stylist by Maybeline (This is a good one, but the thing is that in order to get it to be long you'll have to take your time with applying the mascara. It takes a while but the outcome is great)

Fabulash by Revlon (Awesome, works fast, definatley reccommend it when you dont have time to sit and wait for lash stylist)

Both are about $3-4
