i'm a nineteen male,and i have been experiencing thinning hair and i'm just a teen. Why do you think this is happening?

I eat healthily,work out and don't have much stress/i don't smoke,drink or do drugs. I also don't wear a cap often. The only thing that could be the problem is my snakebites which I pierced on my lips..would that be a cause for my hair fall?

Please help if you have any shampoo or products I could use. I heard using conditioner everyday is bad for your hair.is that true? and I also have VERY dry hair,please help...thanks a lot

No, your piercings have nothing at all to do with your hairloss.
I assume if you use conditioner every day, you must wash your hair everyday. Do not do that. It strips your hair of it's natural oils. (Just to clear things up, conditioner isn't bad.) but since you have dry hair, don't wash it as often as you normally do.
Your hair loss could be from a number of reasons, so to find out your cause, you should see a doctor.
Here are a few examples:
*Are you on any medication?
*Do you have any illnesses/medical conditions?
*Do you dye it or treat your hair often?
*Are your eating habits bad?
*Alopecia

Just so you know, the average amount of hair a person loses daily is 100. So are you 100% sure you're thinning? It could be in your imagination!
Look around for products (shampoos, conditioners, sprays etc) which can strengthen your hair.
Although I'm sorry to say if you are losing alot of hair, there's not really any products which work and can help it grow back. They're all money gimmicks. and you have to hope it grows back on it's own.
Best of luck.

Hey! I'm very worried here! Me and my boyfriend were making out on top of each other, i had pants on, he had pants on but neither of us had our shirts on. We were making out and when we finished, I saw a little stain on his pants, now I'm scared that I might be pregnant.
Ive been waitin for my period and stressing a lot!

I waited for my period to come and it finally came, but it was light and it only lasted 2 days, also i didnt have any cramps or anything.
Could this be implantation bleeding?
Could I be pregnant?

You both had pants on, so even if he leaked a little, you should be absolutely fine. The stress probably delayed your period.. and if it was shorter than normal, that's okay. Periods can take years to regulate.
Stop worrying. :)

thanks for the advice....well how to know d person while chatting online, how to impress them n get ph no. they r usually taken back if v ask this question or probably ask for photograph also...

Hey.
Just talk to them like you would talk to your friends. Keep the conversation rolling, play games, ask fun questions. Just basically make it exciting.
Get the basic details, then ask what they enjoy doing, what music they're into, if they have any hobbies etc.
If you want their number, just be confident and ask for it. Although don't ask too fast because it might make them uncomfortable, as I assume you mean talking to girls online.
If you're okay with sending a photo, do it. :)

does anyone know any quotes for your camera


cause im trying to find a quote
like about someone who really loves there camera


thanks!

Google literally has thousands of camera quotes.

only search advicenators.com


Are these what you're after?

"Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera."

"The camera can photograph thought"

"There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are."

"As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs."

"There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer."

Also, why not try making your own up. It will have alot more meaning behind it.
Good luck with finding one you like :)

How to begin chat with girls n get friendly

Thanks for your question.
Star off by smiling when you see them, remain eye contact.. and say hello. That's probably the hardest part. From then on, you can get conversations flowing after you have said hello when you see them. May seem a bit silly, but if you see guys talking to girls, watch them and learn. See how they act.
If you want a random reason to talk to them because you're too nervous to just say hello, ask a question. Like what time is it, or where did you get your bag - I like it etc.
Just be yourself and keep natural.
Read this website. It will help you a great deal.

Okay, so here's the deal: I have a boyfriend and one of my friends has a crush on him. I haven't been friends with this girl very long either.
Okay- she was flirting with him a lot...and it was bugging me. So i talked to her about it. The first time she was all like "oh, sorry.okay" She didn't stop. So i talked to her AGAIN! and she said "oh my god! i's so sorry! I hate it when friends think that! Okay, I'll stop. It will be hard, but I'll try."

Thankyou for your question.
It's normal for you to get rather annoyed with your friend for doing this. I think everyone would to be honest. She may just be a very flirty person - some girls are like it and don't realize they are hurting the people around them. I reckon that's what she meant by saying "It will be hard, but I'll try"
I really doubt she is trying to cause any harm, especially since she knows you are on to her.. and you can practically see her doing these things.
I don't think you should worry. Your boyfriend has told you he wouldn't do anything to hurt you, so you should believe him. Although, if he knows how uncomfortable etc this is making you, he should make a bit of effort to tell the girl to back off a little, too. Or at least tell her not to tickle him and get so close. Have a few words to see if there's anything he can do to help the situation.
There is another thing you could try, too. Act like it's not bothering you at all. Who knows, your friend might be trying to make you jealous. So if you show no sign of it getting to you, she may realize and stop.
Probably within time, she will soon get the message. Or you could even help to find her a boyfriend of her own.
Whatever the reason for her constant flirting, don't let it turn things bad with your relationship.
I hope things turn out fine.

I never knew that there was a hole in my bag and now I lost my keys =(

Sure, i can get new ones but I'm just wondering, can something bad happen if i dont find my key? like someone breaking into my home or something?

MY PARENTS ARE GONNA KILL ME!

The amount of people that lose their keys is unthinkable. Don't worry about it. I've lost mine before and at first I thought "what if someone knows it's mine and breaks in..." but the chance of that happening is zero to none. Noone will probably even know it's yours.. especially if you lost it in a random place. Your parents shouldn't be too annoyed with you. It's really easy to lose. Next time, just try to be more cautious with your belongings.

[view]

like if once someone has a crush on you but youre not sure whether they do anymore..? because if someone liked you in the first place then didnt would it be possible for them to like you again? there must have been something there that they liked?

It depends on the person and alot of other things, but yes. An old crush can certainly like you again.

does anyone know of any online program where you can put 2 peoples pictures in and it comes out with what your baby would look like?

Remember, it's just for fun, as there is NO SURE way of ever knowing how your babies would turn out like.

Here's the thing, I've spent several months trying to get over this guy who only used me for sex.. in the end i was a disapointment to him because he didnt get any, and i wasn't as good at fooling around as he though I would be (i made him think i was experienced although he was my first kiss) so now im thinking on giving up on getting over him, and spending this year apart from him (i only see him during summers) to get experienced, to get beautyful and sexy, to get confident.. so when i see him I could prove that I'm not a disapoinment, that I am actually desired by others and .. well, we'll see.. if I want him, I'll get him.. if I dont.. i will atleats have proven him wrong.. and fixed the bad experience we had together last summer.
I know this sounds like a bad idea, but can anything bad really come from giving it a shot? I know it might not go as planned, he might have a gf or i might not be able to turn into this sexy babe or whatever, but what harm can come from trying?

Give me any advice or experience you might have on this please!

Bad idea. You shouldn't have to prove yourself to him - or anyone for that matter.
I know it all seems pretty harmless, but you can still get hurt alot.
Let him see you. See how much you've changed. Let him want you. But don't let him have you.
He sounds like a fool and he definitely doesn't deserve someone like you.
You say he's ruined things for you in your additional info... Well, you should be focusing on getting over that. Not dwelling on it and trying to get someone like him to think differently of you.
He had his chance and blew it badly. He lowered your self esteem and made you think you were bad at things. I bet he's hardly mr experienced either.
Do yourself a massive favour and save your changes for someone who really matters.
P.S. Within time, you will get over your fear of intimacy. Forgetting him is the first step.

Okay well I have recently dyed my hair black and I've heard that if you dye your hair black and you leave the dye in for months without re-dying it then your hair starts to fall out ? is this true if it is , why ?

The only thing that happens is your roots start showing!

You follow everyone. You don't have a mind of your own to make your own decisions.

*Purchase odor eaters
*Put talc/baking soda inside the shoes
*Try Febreze
*Make sure your shoes are always dry. Bacteria thrives in damp shoes
*Put your shoes in a bag. Freeze them for 12 hours to kill bacteria
*Wear socks if you don't already
*Wash your feet often

My friend moved this year to a big new school far away. Now we feel like we are losing her. She's changed. She tells me how shes been getting drunk and stuff. She always brags about her friends. She's listnening to bad music. We were on her top friends list on myspace for the first day now we are at the bottom. Now, when we talk it's like two sentences and we stop talking. Shes 14. What can we do to get our relationship going again?btw 13/f

I'll keep this short.
The most you can do is talk to her. Explain how you are feeling and how upset you are becoming because you are losing contact. Post her a myspace message even. Just let her know how it's affecting you.
That is all you can do, really.
You've tried your best. Now it's her turn.
If she doesn't seem to make an effort with you and has totally ditched you for her new friends, I know it's hard, but you are 100% better off without her.
Real friends don't do that to each other.

Okay, first off, this guy who i dont like, gave me this other guy that i knows phone number when i asked for HIS! Second, he blocked me on aim when i didnt do anything to him, again, i dont like him, but i am trying to be friends......
Am i doing anything wrong and any advice?

From the information you have given, you clearly haven't done anything wrong. Leave him from now on. If he wants to be friends, he will come crawling back and give you the apology you deserve.
You never know, it could be something more than you've explained. You may have done/said something which may have offended him without you knowing.
Give him a bit of time to cool off. Don't go chasing after him though.

my retainer (for my teeth) on the bottom, has jabbing into my lower pallet (gums on the bottom that cover the back ok my teeth. well a part of my gums has this huge bump now, and it hurts soooo bad, i can't even wear my retainer, because if I do it wll only press against the bump more, and make it bigger. PLEASE help me and tell me what this could be, I know i need a new retainer badly, because this one's too small. but i want to know what this weird painful, large bump on my gums is. THANKS!

also- it is located in the back of my bottom front teeth. sorry if it dosn't make much sence, the sore was created from the retainer (plastic part) stabbing into my gum. Please Help!!

If it's too small, it's only natural for your gums to react to the iritation. This is why I didn't wear my bottom retainer.
Go to your ortho as soon as possible. Explain your situation and he/she will loosen it or give you a new one.
It will go when you get a properly fitted one, I promise. Same thing happened to me.

HI!! umm..okay i used to like this guy named James and i told him and he says he just wants to be friends..so now we're friends and i think that im pretty much bordering the over him line..when i told my friend Kayla that & she said that she is "fallin" for him...and i am seriously not okay with that and i let her no but she dont care..she told me that at the vandy and uk game he winked at her, but i have had guys wink at me and they didnt like me...i dont know if he likes her, i dont want to think that...its not fair, the one with the guts to say something about it doesnt get him but the one that sits back and does nothing probably wins...plus isnt there some rule or law saying that a best friend shouldnt date a crush,ex, or any thing like that...she says that she dont think he likes me and that he likes her more, and they went on a trip with a club, i was gonna go but i couldnt, and suposedly they hung out and got to know one another better, i dont know what to believe...so summary...

1)does he like her you think??
2)do you think its right that she likes him??
3)what should i do??
4)do you think she is saying all of that just to make me jealous??

any help is great!! thanks ahead of time!

Thankyou for your question.
Firstly, it's not a competition, although I can understand totally why you are upset. It's not a rule as such. It's just common courtesy - generally being nice and not going after someone their friend likes or has already dated IF they have a problem with it. Clearly, you DO have a problem with it.
You never know, maybe she is trying to make you jealous. Either way, it's working.
I know it's hard, but if I were in your position, I'd just leave them to it. If it turns out he does like her, then fair enough. You've already told her you have a problem with it and whether she wants to pursue it is her choice.
Just because he winked at her, it doesn't necessarily mean anything..and only time will tell I'm afraid.
I really think you shouldn't act like it's bothering you. Then it will be obvious to tell if she's trying to make you jealous or if she genuinely likes him.
Act like you don't care. Who needs him anyway? You will find someone who likes you as much as you like them within time.
You shouldn't lose friendships over guys.

My X-gf broke up with me and now I'm going out with her best friend cause my X said that she didnt care, but it turns out that my X still likes me, What do I do?

Are you with her best friend because you really like her? Or is it a way to get back at your ex girlfriend?
She said she didn't care, so if things are fine with you and your new girlfriend, let things carry on as they are.

hi i have a male beta fish,
and i was cleaning its bowl today, i noticed why is its fins falling off?!
a lot of them, it used to have beautiful fins and now its like they are all falling off.
what should i do?

"Try changing his water every three days (twice a week) and add some Melafix to the tank when you do this. Melafix helps to regrow injured fins and will also help Blue's health improve."

If there is anything sharp in his bowl, remove them. The fins can get torn very easily, although they can grow back. Unfortunately, they will never be 100% like they used to be, though.
If he is acting normally (eating habits etc) then you shouldn't really worry.
I love beta fish. Hope he's okay! :)
