Q: Ok.. this has been buggin me alot lately.. I'm 14/f, and I have never had a b/f. I know that my time will conme and everything, and Ijust have to wait. But, what bugs me is that I know I'm not gorgeous, or really skinny or anything, but I see girls who are a heck of alot uglier, and bigger than me who have b/f's, so it just makes me feel like there's something wrong with me, cause they can get b/f's and I can't. So, I know my time will come, but, my main question is how are people gettin b/fs when they are so ugly and fat, and the normal girls dont? I rate 5's!!! Thanks!!
ahahaa.. omg, i know exactly what you mean. i think that the reason why very unattractive girls can get boyfriends is because they're so ugly and fat that they're desperate for anyone. i bet all their boyfriends are just as ugly and unattractive as them. ugly and fat people are very desperate because they know that no one sane will want them, so they try to date other people just as ugly so that they can feel "loved". my motto is, quality is always better than quality. which means that it's better to have a decent/good looking boyfriend who really cares about you instead of like 20 butt ugly guys that are desperate for anyone.

yea, the events on the show are real and not made up, even if they do seem too perfect. some people just have really good lives with a lot of drama. they even tell you that everything's real at the beginning of the show

Q: hey i have a question. does anyone know of any programs to download music that would work for windows XP without having to have administrator's privileges? i cant seem to find any and my dad put a password on his windows account so i cant get on there and download one. anyone know of any?
yeah, i have windows xp, and i use winmx. you just have to download the program from the website, winmx.com. limewire is a music downloading program that probably works too, but i've ever used it though, limewire.com

Q: ok i have never had acne or pimples or anything like it but its starting to show that im gonna get them like im getting little bumps then you can feel but you cant see unless oyu look really really close and i was just wondering what i could do to prevent them from showing and to prevent them from comming back. ill rate for good answers thank you !
i have proactiv and it really helped my acne. if you dont want to buy something that pricey, then visit your local pharmacy/drug store or like Target or walmart because they sell a lot of over the counter acne products that can help you. a lot of people use oxy pads maximum stength and i've heard that it works really well to treat and prevent acne. if you have like small spots or somethin on your face, then you should get a spot treatment from clearasil ultra. there's this really good spot treatment from stridex, it's called fruit therapy, but they dont seem to sell it anymore.

acne is usually hereditary, and the only way to prevent it from appearing on your face is by just using some anti-acne products and by washing your face 2-3 times a day. a lot of people think that you'll get acne from eating greasy things or chocolate, but that's total bs. a lot of doctors and dermatalogists have proved that diet doesnt affect your acne. just try to take care of your skin and you'll be fine

Q: okay so yea.. i have a huge problem with crackin my knuckles nd there like big now :( dose any one know how i can make them smaller nd or stop my habbit? please nd thanks i rate 5s
i used to crack my knuckles all the time, but i stopped. i dont think there's anyway for you to make your knuckles smaller, i kno a way to stop it.. kind of. if you dont crack your knuckles for a while, like a few days or a couple of weeks, the next time you crack them, it will totally hurt and it will be really hard to crack your knuckles. that's how i stopped cracking my knuckles. so you just have to try your best to stop cracking them for a few days or so, like make yourself busy so you wont have time to crack your knuckles, and you'll get over your habit

Q: what are the risks of getting your belly pierced? does it hurt a lot?
i got mine pierced last december. it only hurts for like 3 seconds. it hurts when the piercer clamps the pieve of skin about your belly button, and it hurts when the piercer sticks a needle in your skin to make the hole. i closed my eyes during most of the precedure because i thought it was goin to hurt like hell, but when i opened my eyes, i saw a cute belly button ring on me and it was totally worth the pain.
the only thing that can go wrong when you have a belly button ring is when your piercing gets infected. when it gets infected, you have to consult with a doctor and he/she will give you some medicine to disinfect it.

Q: hey does anyone know what lmao stand for?

Q: Hi. I am usually the one to give advice..but anyway. I have acne all over my forehead and some on my cheeks. I've tried a bunch of products but none of them seem to work. I've gone to a dermatologist and they prescribed some facial pads for my acne. It reduced the acne on my cheeks alot but not my head. Any product suggestions that will help with my acne on my forehead? Not too pricey please. Also if you can specify where I can buy a product you reccoment that would be great.

Thanks.

I will rate 5's for helpful answers.
you can use like oxy pads, maximum strength in the afternoon and at night. and after applying the pads on your face, use a clearasil ultra or clearasil total control spot treatment. if you dont like using pads, then try a toner from biore or an astringent from loreal or noxzema. you can buy all these products from like target, walmart, walgreens, cvs, rite aid, etc..

hope i helped :)

Q: Does anyone know any good books about like girls who are about 13 or up?
the clique, summerboys (but this is a book about girls), the au pairs, my earth my butt and other big round things, confessions of georgia nicolson, and south beach. i've read all of these books, and they were all pretty good

other good books that a lot of people like are the gossip girls, the a-list, prep, and ttyl (talk to you later)

Q: what are some other cute places to shop besides abercrombie, hollister, american eagle......etc.
aeropostale, urban outfitters, rue 21, G&G Rave, H&M, forever 21, pacsun, and many other stores.. but i cant think of any more

hope i helped :)

Q: i need a free place to burn cds....



help please
i use real player to burn my cds. all you have to do is go to real.com, burn the free player, once you've downloaded it, go to burn/transfer, click on go to cd burner, and just add songs to the list.

Q: this year I want to dress more preppy. What are some styles that look preppy? I rate very high!
buy clothes from stores like hollister, abercrombie and fitch, aeropostale, american eagle, pacsun, the gap, old navy, etc... preppy girls use scarfs or ties as belts, and they just tie it at one side of their hips. an example of a preppy girl is mischa barton, she stars in the OC, but now she's also a model for Aeropostale. i think that now a lot of preppy girls like wearing polos. i see a lot of preps wearing polos from Aeropostale. preppy girls also like camis with sequins, and brown belts, like the ones that feel like cow hide.. or something like that.
preppy guys usually wear casual t-shirts or polos with the collars flipped up. and that's all i kno about the guys

Q: i have scars from acne on my forehead, i was wondering what can i use to have to scars fade awayy? any help?
i have Neutrogena Acne Fading Peel, and it works kind of well. it's supposed to help heal the scars and marks that your acne left behind. i got it at target for like 11 or 12 dollars. i also have Neutrogena Visibly Even daily spf 15 moisturizer, it helps to make dark spots left by acne fade away quicker. it works really well, and even my friend thinks so too. i got it at walgreens for like 10 or 11 dollars.

Q: How do u meet gay people in a big high school??? I know you can't exactly walk up to people and ask them. But is there any specific way of knowing if a person isn't straight??? Basically i need tips on how to meet more gays. Any advice would be appreciated.
lesbians sometimes act like men, like they're tough and they like SUVs, and they dont dress girly like other girls

gay guys are usually feminine. it takes them hours to get ready to go out. they have very stylish clothing and sometimes spiky hair. if he wears purple, he's probably gay, if he talks like a girl (like saying "oh my god" or "no you didn't" a lot and stuff like that, and also there's this like high tone in their voice that makes them sound super gay), he's probably gay, if he checks out bulges instead of breasts when he's passing people on the street or hallway or whatever, he's DEFINATELY gay.

i'm goin to a big highschool this september, and they have like a few groups for gay people, i'm definately not planning on joining any of them. another way is to just ask your friends or other people if they know anyone that's gay, and they'll probably list a bunch of names for you.

Q: okay well in the past week my forehead and cheeks started breaking out (that area is like really oily and ive been washing my face like 2-3 times a day!!)... i usually never get pimples or zitz or anythin like that.. except for one everyonce in a while... well i was wondering what works best?! i dont have anymoney to go spend on proactive or whatever... but i have these facewash things and i was wondering which ones work the best? (any at home remedys would be great too!!) if your not sure what it is, i put a link next to it so you could figure out what the box looks like or whatever...

-stridex pads (alcohol free)::
http://www.acne.org/images/products/stridex-pads-sa-max-large.jpg


i hope this helps you out!! but pleasee help! thanks so much.. if you want to be rated--ask!!
from your list, i've only used stridex pads. i dont know if they work well or not because i use it with other products, and i think that oxy pads are better than stridex pads. i wanted to buy the clearasil total control thing, but i was skeptical about that..i kno that the dove bar is good for your skin, but it doesnt say anything about helping your acne. you should use this AFTER most of your zits are gone because right now you need to clear your skin from acne
what you should do is use a cleanser to wash your face in the morning, and afterwards apply a spot treatment, i suggest one from clearasil ultra or total control or clean and clear total advantage spot treatment. then like in the afternoon, use an astringent from nozxema or clean and clear, or a toner from biore, or stridex or oxy pads. then after applying the astringent or toner or pad, wait till it drys, and apply the spot treatment again. then while you're taking a shower, use a cleanser to wash your face again. and right before you go to bed, apply the astringent/toner/pad, and then the spot treatment again.
i kno this sounds like a lot of work, and this might overdry your skin for a while, but this is what i do everyday to maintain zit-free healthy skin, and everyonce in a while people would compliment me on my clear and nice skin. you can try it, but if it overdries your skin, then you can ask me for help.

oh, and i know someone else said to use an alcohol based toner, but dont get one. alcohol can irritate the zits making it even more red and noticible, plus it can make your skin really really dry

hope i helped, and.. i hope you'll rate me :)

Q: I have a bunch of pimples on my chin and under my lips. I really hate them bc even with the tons of makeup i sover them up with they still pop out all gross and red. I would really love something that could make these DISAPPEAR!!!
definately try proactiv, it helped me and a lot of other people. if you dont want to spend that much money on it, then go to the drugstore or target or walmart and get some over the counter anti-acne products. the brands that you should choose from are clearasil ultra, clean and clear, oxy pads, and neutrogena. i think they work the best to get rid of acne, but results are different for everyone.

i used to put makeup on whenever i had a pimple too, and the pimple was still visible and popping out. i dont put makeup on a pimple anymore because doing so is actually bad for your skin. when you use makeup, make sure that it's oil free and non-comedogenic(means it wont clog pores) so it wont cause more pimples or make the existing pimple worse. it's ok to wear makeup that wont clog pores, but it's better to not wear any makeup at all meaning blush, concealer, and foundation

hope i helped :)

Q: How do you get rid of blackheads? The strips don't really work for me..does anyone actually know what will work? Please don't just give me a product you saw on a commercial or something..Thanks..I rate high!!
proactiv works really well. i have it, and like after a week all my blackheads were gone.
also try the clean and clear blackhead clearing astringent, it works really good too

there's this way to get rid of them, but it might be really risky. like after you take a shower(like that's when your pores are open), pop your blackheads. it really works for me. if you try poppin it when your pores are closed.. it could be disastrous. the blackhead will get bigger and there will be a big darkspot around it. you can try this method, but make sure it's right after you've taken a shower or steamed your face

hope i helped :)
