I'm not very booksmart, and I'm definately not street smart. However, if there's one thing I am, it's PEOPLE SMART. That's why I'm good with this whole advice thing. You can ask me ANYTHING and I'm always glad to help. There's almost no question I can't handle, so ask away. Make sure you RATE and leave FEEDBACK, so I can improve my advice.infinate x's and o's,

I was just kind of curious. One of my friends told me that her mom said we should put ICE next to any numbers in my phone that I would want someone to call if anything happened to me. ICE standing for In Case of Emergancy. Well my question is, do cops, firefighters, and paramedics know about that? Like will they actually look through your phone for the ICE numbers, or is that just something that her mom wanted us to do? Have any of you ever heard of doing that? Because I have ICE next to my parents, siblings, and a few of my closest friends. I also always have ID on me, not that that really matters.
But I was really just wondering, do other people do the "ICE" thing, or is it just a waste of time?
Thanks in advance.
That's a smart thing to do. I know a few people who do put ICE next to their parents and relatives. It's always good to have, just in case. It's also not a waste of time, after all its just typing 3 letters next to someone's name. What could it hurt? Hope this helps.

Go to your school's counselors office. Ask for the forms to get a workers permit. There's certain things that you need (birth certificate, letter from employer, ect), just talk to your counselor. Hope this helps and good luck job hunting.

I'm too self conscious about my bikini area. I can't seem to completely get rid of the hair and get it smooth.
I've used a lot soap/shaving cream, new razor, and so on.. Doesn't do much. The hair just gets short and I end up getting cuts.
And I don't want my mom to know... so I can't get wax strips or anything.
I also tried this "Hair Remover - 4 Minute Lotion, Raspberry Raz-ma-tazz" last night. It didn't do much, but I probably should have left it on longer?
Is it okay if I tried the Nair again today? Or should I wait a couple of days...?
Wait like a day or too, just incase, you don't want to irritate the area. You could always just get it waxed. It's not that expensive, you could get the money yourself and go. That way your mom would never know. Otherwise just try the nair again. Hope this helps.

im gonna be 14 this summer and wondered if there are any places that hie at 14.
examples: handels, DQ, dunkin donuts.
not a pape route.
please. i'll rate a 5 to anyone that tries
Go to your local park district. Ask if their is anything you can do (guess services, concessions at a pool, ect.). It might be too late but it's worth a shot. Also try a grocery store. I'm not sure what the age requirements are, but maybe you can be like someone who bags the food. Also, you might want to get a workers permit. That will widen your opportunities of getting a job. (it allows people to hire people under the legal working age). If there's no chance in any of those, babysit. Put up flyers, and give your name out. If none of these work, don't feel let down. Enjoy your summer! After all it is summer. Eventually you'll have to get a job, enjoy not having any commitments while it lasts. Hope this hleps and good luck with your job search.

Okay im not fat or really over weight, i just want to loose like 5 or 6 pounds (get a flat stomach)i want to have a flat stomach by the time camp starts which is in like 3 or 4 weeks! i did loose like three pounds but i was stupid and i totally piged out last weekend and gained it back! does any one have any good tips on how to slim down fast. any diet rules or foods you know that are low calorie and taist good or any thing? i running out of time!
For exercise:
Do some sort of cardio (running, dance, swimming). It's the best way to shed off the pounds. Do this 4-5 times a week and you will loose the weight in no time.
For diet:
You also have to watch what you eat. Don't go on some crash or starvation diet, just eat in moderation. Also make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Eat good carbs (whole grain products), and cut down a bit on the sweets. Instead of going for a ice cream cone, go for an apple instead.
Hope this helps and have fun at camp.

(17/F) Okay, I had arcryllic nails put on for prom and I just took them off because they were starting to come loose. Anyone who's ever had nails put on knows how crappy your real nails look after the fake ones come off.. My question is.. Is there any way to make my nails look less damaged? Is it safe to file away the jagged edges on the surface of my nails? They look sort of raggedy. I don't know how else to describe it. Any advice that you have to offer will be greatly appriciated. I rate 5's for good advice.
You could file away your jagged parts or clip your nails off with nail clippers. Then put a coat of hard as nails or strong nails (some product that will make your nails stronger). You can buy a product like this in your local drug store or salon. Also, you could also get a manicure, but don't get acrylics this time. Hope this helps.

what should i do if my girlfriend being stalked like online and i have the stuff he has sent her
Show the conversation to a trusted adult who can contact the police department. Online crimes can be serious, and you never know what your dealing with. Hope this helps.

I got a bad test grade and I promised my mom this wouldn't happen again this school year. If I get it signed, then I get extra credit and an A. Because of that, I want and need it sighed. Any good ideas on how to tell her without her being like super mad? 13/f
If your grade will still be an A, it doesn't matter. Calmly tell your mom that you got another bad test score. Focus on the fact that you still have an A, therefore she can't get as mad. Hope this helps and good luck.

hi, im fifteeen years old and i live in ny. i want to get a job over the summer but it seems like no one my age hires!..do you know any good places that hire young besides summer camps? thankss =)
I don't live in NY, so I can't give you specific places but here are some places you could try:
1)your local grocery store
2)try your local park center (they have many jobs within the whole district)
3)try a gymnastics or skating place (you can help with little kid's parties)
Also, if you get a worker's permit, there are more job opportunities availible, because the permit allows the owner to hire you. (You can get it from your school counselor) Hope this helps and good luck job hunting.

I got this awesome bag thing for my birthday yesterday, and it`s way too big for a purse, so i was wondering what i sohuld use it for.
http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?rcid=womens&scid=cat90052&sscid=&navroot=womens&productId=0427_7380 I got mine in tan
Since summer's coming up, it would make a great beach/pool bag. You could also use it for sleepovers or events where you need to carry more than a purse could hold. It would also make a cute bag for school. By the way, the bags adorable. Hope this helps.

Sorry this is long, but I'm in tears. I need to talk.
Today, I had to give a presentation on migrant farmers in California who were thrown off of their land because they couldn't pay the rent where they originally came from (the Middle Region of the US---Oklahoma, Kansas, etc) using a central primary document. I showed three 5-minute clips from "The Grapes of Wrath." I gave a 2-minute intro, showed the clips, and in between each clip, I talked about why the clip best represented the main points of my lecture.
I guess I was pretty boring. I'm very, very bad at giving lectures. I don't want any of the columnists to give me an answer detailing how to make lectures more interesting. I had my speech written out on an AlphaSmart and I read in a monotone, but that's just the way I talk. That's not an excuse for not paying attention.
I told my classmates to write down a question and I'd answer it at the end of the clip. For each clip, the same 4 people out of an audience of 11 asked questions, and they were mostly practical questions that didn't have to do with the Depression, like "Where did the Joads get gasoline?" Throughout the whole lecture, only one person asked a relevant question. Everyone else was bored out of their skulls. People yawned and gazed out the window. One girl was even reading behind her backpack.
And then came the discussion at the end. I had 3 discussion questions:
1. Do you think the migrant workers lived the promised California Dream? Why or why not?
2. In what ways were the migrant workers exploited by land owners?
3. Do you think that the workers were better off in California or their homeland?
We were supposed to have more, but my teacher said that if they are questions that can generate rich discussions, it would be fine. But there was no discussion. My classmates had been so bored out of their skulls that they hadn't payed attention the whole time. The same two people had anything to say.
The presentation was a disaster. And I'm going to be graded down because there was no discussion. I was supposed to have a lot of questions, but if I only had a few questions that were open-ended and debatable, then it would be acceptable. My questions were open-ended and debatable, but since there was no discussion, it doesn't count. I feel awful. I had hoped to get an A in History, and I had a B+ coming. This is a huge assignment. I'm going to get a B or B-, and I won't achieve my quarter goal. I wanted to get 2 A's on my report card for the first time, but now my chances are gone.
Anyone who at least tries to make me feel better gets a 5
Talk to your teacher. It seems to me, you put in a lot of effort and tried to have an adequate discussion. Most likely your teacher noticed that. It's unfair of him/her to mark you down for something out of your control, so he/she probably won't. Don't get yourself all down, you haven't even recieved the grade yet. One time I thought I did terrible on a presentation, I mean horrible. The skit was disasterous. Everyone was cutting each other off, we forgot to talk about things that were major points, ect. I was complaining to my dad about how I was going to fail, and I ended up getting a 96. So you never know, you might end up getting an A for your effort. Plus I'm sure your actual lecture had great imformation about your topic, and your whole grade won't be based on the actual discusion part. Just talk to your teacher and explain how no one talked and all that. He/she will listen to you and base your grade off dedication. Hope this helps and feel better.

for a urinary track infection is it necessary to get medication for it or will it eventually go away on its own if so how long?
also how do you get these?
UTI's don't usually go away by themselves, they just get worse. You need medication. See a doctor ASAP. Also drink plenty of water and cranberry juice. Hope this helps and feel better.

Can you shave your arms? Cuz my friend said that it looks bad if you shave your arms,is that true? Or should I take a chance and shave them?
If your talking about armpits, I would hope you shave those. If your talking about your actual arms, most people do not shave them. It doesn't seem natural; the majority of people do have hair on their arms. I only know one person who shaved her arms, well she waxed them, and it didn't look bad, just different. If you have a strong desire to wax or shave your arms you can, however, it's not really a big deal if you have hair on your them. Hope this helps.

i know you can call anyone in verizon for free, (IF YOU HAVE VERIZON) but can you text people for free too? thanks in advance
If you pay the five extra dollars a month, you get unlimited texting to any verizon wireless customer. Otherwise, it's not free, you pay like ten cents every text you send, and 5 cents every text you recieve (something like that). Hope this helps.

Hello,
I'm going to a sleep over on Friday..and I'm on my period what should I do while I'm sleep..tampon or pad? How long can you keep in a tampond?
I usually sleep with a tampon in and it's no big deal. However if your scared, go to a drugstore and buy an overnight pad. That will do the trick. Hope this helps and have fun at your sleepover.

i want to ask this guy to the dance but idk if he likes me what do i do waht do i do please help
ASK HIM..Just give it a shot. The worst thing he can do is say no. (everyone gets rejected at some point, so it's not even a big deal) Go ahead and do it, you never know, he might have a huge crush on you and be too scared to say something. Hope this helps and good luck.

15/F. I am physically a healthy girl but I am cowardish girl. When ever I come across a situation when I have been badly critisized or get anger of any body, suddenly I release few drops of urine, some times more drops which I can easily feel in my panty and I feel my body is shaking with fear. Altough I am a healthy girl and no habit of urine passing during sleeping etc.Please advice.
If this keeps occuring, go to the doctor. They will probably be able to do something about it. Hope this helps and sorry I don't know more information about this situation.
