Q: How does anorexia harm you or your body? I know pukeing will stain your teeth but what else?? cuz if thats it, then whats the harm right?

What else??? You're body isn't getting food and nutrients it needs to maintain itself!!!!!!

Q: i always wear my hair up in a ponytail cuz i dont like it when it gets in my face so i wanted to do a sloppy bun but because my hair is so long it doesnt work to well...any tips?

When you have long hair, you have to make the bun part bigger because well, you have more hair. What i do is this:

1- Make a pony tail like you usually do

2- When it comes time to but the band on flip the ponytail toawrds the front of your head.

3- Make the bun

4- Distribute extra hairs around your bun so it looks even

Remember- they're supposed to look sloppy!

Q: i have a great friend who is turning 16 tomorro. he desserves a great little get together because hes soo nice and caring. him along with me and 5 other girls are really close and i want to do something for his birthday. (not a party, just a get together for 5-10 people)

i was thinking having us eat at a restaurant and of course my friend eats free..what do you think? what could we do after?

thank you

WEll you could go really casual and go iceskating or rollerskating after. You could go to an arcade. You could even just go back to the house, pop some popcorn and have an all night movie party with his favorite movies or whatever. Anything you do, will most definately be special!

Q: which out of all of these broadway shows are the best and which one should i get tickets to??

Hairspray is also really good but I'd go for Wicked!

Q: i have the thickest hair in the world- and it's extremely dry, and it's all one length, and it reaches to the middle of my back, i wanna get it cut really bad- nothing too short- but i dont know what yet. any suggestions? also- i dont know what to do about my hair being so dry. ive tried all kinds of moisturizing this and that- but nothing seems to work. PLEASE HELP!

I have really thick hair too. Mine is just below the shoulders, so that might help. If you cut your hair to short, because it is so thick it will be really poofy, so that is something to think about. About your dry hair, I use Dove and it works pretty good, so you could try that. It has special moisturizers in it to make your hair really soft!

Good luck♥

Q: my hair has been falling out like crazy but its not normal falling out i mean its a lot of hair but i dont know why and i dont know if i should tell my mom

16/f

My hair is starting to fall out a lot too. I'm pretty sure it is because the weather is getting warmer.At least thats what my mom told ME!

Q: Both my friend and I have short thicker (thighs, but not massive but we have to go to a party that requires everyone to wear burmuda shorts. I wanted to know where I can find ones that would be more apt to fit our type, at a fairly reasonable price. Places like Kohls or Foleys or where? Thanks!:)

I think that people with thick thighs would look good in Bermudas. Personaally,I don't think it even matters. Well, where to get them im not sure. They're not cheap but American Eagle has a LOT!! You could also check out Gap too! Good luck and have fun at your party

Q: I'm nervous about getting my first period. I'm really afrad that it will leak through and everyone will see. I'm jsut getting out of sixth grade and I'm supposed to be getting it soon. Will it leak through my pants??

you shouldn't be worrying. Your first period usualy isn't a lot anyway so no it won't leak through or anything!

Q: I'm going to the beach for the first time in years. What things should I make sure to bring? (like make-up, how many bathing suits, what bathing suits, and other stuff..)

List of what to bring for 1 day at the beach. ( I wasn't sure how long you were going)

bathing suit- if you're going in the water make sure you're not wearing a bikini that will fall off after one wave. If thats impossible one pieces are good. Then of course if you're just going to stick you're feet in you can wear whatever bikini you want. If you're going more than one day, bathing suits don't really need to be washed after one usage. Just hang them up to dry.

sunglasses

sunscreen

flip flops

magazines books

towels

umbrella (if you like the shade)

beach chair (if you'd rather sit up than lay on a towl)

makeup- don't put too much on i mean its the beach.

Have fun!!!

Q: what should i say to her what kind of lines should i say

Hmmm...

Think of something cute that will get her attention and prove to her you're not like the others. I'm so sorry I have no ideas because well, no ones ever asked me out but I would like something like that. If the girl is "popular" don't try anything corny because well, you know how that works (not trying to stereotype or anything). I dunno you could be popular for all I know. I'm sorry I can't help you that much!!!

Good luck! I'm sure no matter what you write will be fine! Go for it!! What is there to loose?

Q: im 15 male and theres a girl i like but i don't know what to say to her

Just smile and make eye contact. If she doesn't get the picture then write a note or something.

Q: Whats the difference between, Maxi's, Liners, and Pads? I want to know before I get my period. I'll rate high for all the nice answers! x3

Maxis are for heavy days

Pads are for normal days

liners are for light days or discharge

Q: i have a lot of moles..and i hate it. i have a lot on my face and arms! they are soo annoying, like not trying to sound conceited but i am kind of pretty..but the moles just ruin me! i hate them so much! is there anything i can do about them! makeup? surgery? anything!!!

Well you could get them surgically removed but thats a lot of moles to remove! I'd go to a dermetologist and ask them what you should do because sometimes they actually recommend removing them! Makeup may cover them up but they will always be there! Sometimes you have to learn to like things about yourself that you don't like. I'm not saying theres no hope though!!!!!

Q: Ok, i'm going to a soccer camp, and it allows u an hour ansd a half for free time. since were not allowed to bring electronicts, i'm going to be so bored. I'm new on the soccer team that's hosting the camp, so what should i bring or do that can include some of the girls at the camp?

Bring this game called apples to apples. It's a really fun and hilarious game for lots of people.

Magazines are always good if you want to be by yourself!

Cards. Theres tons of card games that you can teach everyone!! Here are some: spoons, trash ,and BS.

HAVE FUN!!!

Q: At the moment, I am studying for my math exam. my teacher was nice enough to give us a study guide to fill out. I have a few things that I dont understand:
What is 39% of 500?
What percent of 64 is 3.2?
60% of 85 is what number?
What percent of 85 is 1.7?
What number is 150% of 26?
What i 40% of 400?

Not only do I not understand them, I dont know how to do them! So could someone PLEASE EXPLAIN ot me how to do them?

This may be very confusing!

For your first question:

put 39 over 100. Next to that put n over 500. Multiply 39 by 500. Now divide by 100.

You can do this whether you're trying to find a percent of something or you're trying to find what a percent of something is. Just switch where the N is in your problem and cross multiply and divide by the extra number.

I'm sorry if thats not what you were looking for!

PS- Good luck on your exam!

Q: I get mad really easily, and people notice. How do I control my temper before it gets way out of hand?

This is lame but my dad has anger management probs and this is what he does:

When someone has angered you just take a huge breath and count to 5. If that doesn't help go to a quiet place or the bathroom at school and think things over. Think of reasons why you should be mad at someone and reasons why you shouldn't. Just thinking things over may help you realize something was an accident or maybe that that person is not someone you should hang with. Forgiveness is something that doesn't come easily.

If all else fails grit your teeth real heard!!!

Q: is it possible for your metabolism to increase over time? bc i'm losing wieght and i'm not relaly trying to. its good, but i was just wondering if age or something has to do with me losing weight.

I'm not possitive but I think your metabolism slows as you get older. Thats why its so hard for adults to loose weight. You way just be having an appetie change. Are you depressed? Thats can have a HUGE impact on your weight!
