about

My name is Devin Lindsey or Vinny as my sister calls me! I am 17 years old and go to Bethel Park High school. I loooove swimming along with dancing, singing, and playing softball. I also run varsity track with is alright i supose too.


My favorite colors are orange, pink, and blue. I love to be crazy and have a good time

I've had a job working for 15+ monthes so I can answer alot about that

and I know alot about relationships in general so I can be helpful with that sometimes

especially with parent child relationships


I am a very observant person and tend to know more and care about more than most my age


and I really believe in volunteering to help animals especially at shelters. Usually its not their fault that they have to live their and its usually horrible cercimstances that bring them there and I feel terrible that they can't speak for themselves and people are too caught up in spending like $500 on this cute little pure breed puppy from a breeder just into getting rich instead of giving one of these dogs another chance at life (there are usually a handful of dogs under a year old so the i want a puppy excuse doesn't work with me)

My baby is named Lainey Mae... we got her from a shelter about 2 hours away from us when she was 7 weeks old. she is now 2 years old and the center of our family. unfortunately someone was cruel enough to go down and drug up and shoot (but luckly not kill) most of the dogs plus rob the owner (just like someone did at the shelter where I volunteer) and its now shut down

advice

I've been tweezing my eyebrows for a while now but it's getting too difficult to find a shape I like. Today I'm going to get them waxed but I'm nervous. Will it hurt alot? Will I be really sore afterwards? Do the people who do it find the shape they like for you?

Thanks!

it doesnt really hurt that much. i would recomend going to a salon to get it done over doing it yuorself though

some people tell me that i am a nonfashion female...

i am always conscious on what im wearing...

y??... because my brother always tell me that im out of fashion... when i choose what i would like to wear, my mom always contradict me and push through the clothes that i dont want....



can you give me advices on how to have a "proper" outfit???


thanks.... this is my first time to enter this group......

you should wear what you want to wear and not care what others think but if you really want to no.....


Almost anything you find at a mall is in style. if your not a super preppy girly girly you can go to places like American eagle and stuff. but dont wear what others want you to just make sure you like it first

15/F I have this pain in the lower right side of my stomache (like where they say your appendix is)... its not a sharp painful pain, its just sore and it hurts. I feel it when I walk or sit down. I know its not cramps because my period passed already. It started hurting when I woke up with morning. Im really scared... could it be my appendix? Or one of my reproductive organs? Its only on my right lower side of my abdomen. HELP im so scared...

I get those kind of cramps when i'm hungry alot. its prob. nothing to worry about. maybe you have a minor infection. if it doesnt past in a week or so i would recomend going to a doctor just to be safe

I am a 14 year old girl. I am not over weight or anything I just got flabs, instead of abs. How long does it take to get abs?

well it depends on how hard you work and how often. all bodies are dif. Most teenage girls can get six packs in less than a year if you work out for an hour a day or so. i know a girl that got a six pack in only a couple of monthes but she did 1000 crunches a day

Hi, I need some advice on how to lose about 5 pounds by the middle of August or sooner. Please help me!!

lots of exercise and food. if u cut down on ur food to much you will slow down your matabilism and you will gain wait. eat the normal amount you have been eatin or a little more just make it a little healthier. swimming makes you lose alot of weight fast because you are having fun and it doesnt really make you tired that fast. also try playing like basketball and stuff. what ever you do dont crash diet

I'm 15/F turning 16 in october. I'm desperate to get a babysitting job, so my cousin told me to make flyers to put around my neighborhood.

What should kind of information should I put on the flyer, like my name and phone number.

How should I decorate it and what additional information should I add?

Lastly, what SHOULDN'T I put on my flyer?

Thanks guys. ♥

make sure you say you have some expirience even if its like only watching a cousin while your whole family is around. say you are reliable and love kids. also say you have a reasonable rate just dont but the exact rate on there cause some people will want to pay you more if they dont no what u charge ex u were gonna but $5 on the flyer but they want to pay you $8 and didnt no you were gonna say 5

I am 13 and I want to start making my own money instead of having to rely on my parents so much. I'm pretty sure I can't get a REAL job anywhere yet, but I was wondering if there are any other ways. I already know mowing lawns and babysitting but it hasn't worked so well... thanx!

most schools have a board of ppl that want to hire school kids to work for them like doing dif things mostly like gardening check your school counseling office out and see. also Mcdonalds sometimes highers at that age along with restaurants that want busboys

When ever i babysit for this one family, they never pay me until weeks later. Im kinda shy to ask for it..but what should i do?

tell them you have other plans or u want to be paid the night u babysit or before. its not fair to u

[view]

I babysit my 3 year old niece and she gets on my nerves and i don't get paid for it and my sister makes me babysit .
What should i do?

tell your sister you can't and you have other things to do. or tell her you want something out of it every once and a while even if its only like $5 or a small gift

ok it all started one saturday when my moms friend neede a babysitter! I am grounded and i am not allowed to leave the house. But i really neede the money. MY lil sister got offered to babysit the next Saturday. She is only 10 and i am 15. I was soooo mad at her 4 doin that to me. She made a face at me like she was proud that i didn't get to babysit. Should i hate her and ignore her? I needed the money to raise for a car. I have always wanted a car. should i try and be as rude as possible or just get over it. Since my sister gets $50.00 for 5 hours! Please help me!

well i think your sister is way to young to babysit but what i would do is if the mom calls tell her your sister cant babysit but ur available i no its mean but you gotta do wat you gotta do or you could tell her that you really could use the money over your sister and if u could do it for a while to help pay for a car or if you could come help you sister

I do not want to change her diaper(that white thing that goes on her butt so she doesnt poop or pee in her pants). I am in the middle of watching a movie and she keeps crying. She has a brother too and he does the same thing(they are twins). It is crazy madness I tell you! So please help me and answer me ASAP! Tell me what I should do !!!! thank you!

I'm babysitting this little boy and he wont listen to me at all. I told him it's time to eat, he wouldnt eat. He also wont go to sleep... I need help before the parents get home because I want to be asked again to babysit for them!

well tell him if he doesnt eat he can have snacks or do soemthing he really likes its not good to force kids to eat though and i found its best to warn kids and get them ready a head of time for bed like him him a 1 hour warning then 30 min and so on

I baby-sit this five yr old grl. She's a nice person when there are grown-ups around. And I get paid good money and her mother is so sweet. In fact, her mother is my pastor's daughter, and they both been good to me. But the little girl aint at all what i thought. she is so worsesome. she is the most whiniest little girl i ever met in my life. she's obsessed with thats so raven and watches it all the time. she bugs me about going outside in the rain and she insults my sisters. and she's only five. how do i handle her without losing my job. because i couldnt quit and do that to her mother. the girl is a handful

just let her no that you are incharge. it seems like she is trying to take advantage of you. ask her monther how she gets punished or if worse comes to worse bribe her to be good. tell her if she can be good the whole time she can watch raven next time you come but if shes not good then she can't watch raven. She should no by now to behaive. try giving her something new to do like have a dress up day or something.

okay im 14/f.

i started babysitting at the beginning of the school year. the lady who hired me said that she needed someone she would be able to rely on. she pays really good money but recently her hours got changed and i'm working 3:30 to 6:00 when usually i only did 3:30 to 5:00. i don't even get to eat with my family. and when i get home all i wanna do is just go to bed.

the kids are fucked up. they get disciplined but their mother just laughs when she yells at them. they're really spoiled and get their way all the time.

the other day i was watching them and i was swinging on this swing. well their dog attacked me for no reason. when i told the mother she said "oh sometimes you just need to hit him" he even ripped my pants! there's a small hole in the pants and there's a HUGE bruise on my leg from where he bit me.

when i got my paycheck their was no money for the pants that the dog ripped. i'm really sick of them and i wanna quit but i don't know how to say it. if the dog bites me again i'll have no problem but what should i do in the mean time? i was thinking of giving her my two weeks notice but chickened out. what do i say?

well tell the lady you worked for that the dog was ruining your clothes and you would appriate if she would put the dog it a basebent of something while you were there or what i would just do is stop baby sitting there

I babysit for an hour and a half everyday.
Lucky me, I get the hours when the youngest baby wants to go to sleep more.
The parents keep asking me to try and keep her awake till they come home cause if not she won't sleep at night.
I always fail and she always ends up falling asleep then the parents have trouble getting her back to sleep in the middle of the night.
So I need tips on keeping her awake. She's 8 months old. Don't just say ''Play with her'' because I keep trying but she just crys then I pick her up and she falls asleep.

Oh and I also babysit her sister who is 3 years old so anything that they could both do would be good, I don't want to leave any of them out.

well i think doing somekind of silly sing and dance thing will keep her up. as long as you are always moving with her and there is noise i think she should stay up. also maybe feed her a heathly snack halfway through babysitting to try to get her to stay away. if all else fails try giving them a bath or putting them in a baby pool
