about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.

I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

advice

where can i buy caution tape?

You can probably get it at a costume shop. Try Party City. Spencer's may even have it.

how can i be better friends with a new friend that i made recently?

Ask them to hang out, and have a conversation with them. Find a common ground & do things you know you'll both enjoy. :)

Is it acceptable to go out with someone you known for years is he or she is married?

If they are married? Absolutely not. That brings about a bunch of unnecessary drama.

How can you change your yahoo password? Because I think mine was hacked and I wanna change my password.Thanks for all your help!!

When you sign into Yahoo, it usually says Hi, so & so! There's a place at the top saying the same thing. Hover over it (it's a gray link & it's small, you should be able to find it) & then click on Account Settings. That'll lead you to changing your password.

Hello my name is jess. I added a speedate app on my facebook. An old flame of mine found me and sent me a nasty message. I told him off but ever since this happened (which was a month ago) I can't stop thinking about him. I want to confront him and tell him why he would contact me after all this time and when he said he would never contact me or talk to me again. He also pops into my life periodically just to mess with me. What should I do?

It's already to the point of harassment whether it be in person or online, it's still annoying. You need to cut off all contact with him. Change the Account Settings for Privacy on your Facebook. If he isn't a friend, make it so that he cannot contact you in any way, shape or form. Change your e-mail, change your number (if he has it), & delete the application you added. If it gets to the part of where he bothers you in person, get a restraining order.

Harassment is disgusting, and so are the pathetic people that commit it.

ok i was working late Friday night and i heard a song i would love to get on my iPod but can't figured out what its called its the one where a female singer is singing and its about she cant wait to see him again tomorrow and its a beautiful song so if you could help find the song name and artist that would help thanks so much

Your description is kind of vague, and it's going to be hard to help you. If you can listen to it again & find some lyrics that you can remember, then google it. I'm sure you'll find what you need. Until then, we're not of much help.

I would just google this but I don't know which ones to trust.
Are there any good clinics in the St. Louis, MO area that offer affordable birth control for those under 18?

Planned Parenthood is your best bet. You can find a ton of information on their site: www.plannedparenthood.org

They will have all the information you need. I'm pretty sure they can give it to you for cheap, or free depending on your financial situation.

hi i'm 13 i want a job badly so i can save up anything will do for a boy of 13

The most you can do at 13 is babysit, mow lawns, help people with chores around the house, or do some extra chores for your parents for extra money.

You're still young to get a job, so that's the majority of what you can do for the time being because you're still a few years off from legally working.

do cheerleaders (girls) wear panties under their cheerleading shorts?

It depends on the girl. Some girls prefer to, and some girls don't. It all depends on how it feels to you.

I had sex not long ago, we used a condom and my boyfriend pulled out way before he ejaculated, but i've got this horrible feeling that i might be pregnant. Do you think this is possible? I mean he didn't cum and we used a condom!

But i'm really tired all the time and i'm peeing loads... both of which are signs of pregnancy.

I still have two weeks left until my period is due, so its still too early to actually take a pregnancy test. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice?

thanks in advice. xx

I'm pretty sure you're not pregnant. You used a condom, he didn't cum & he pulled out. I think you should be okay, but if you're really worried, wait a bit & take a test.

so i took two prozac,skipped a day and got drunk

what could this do?

It could potentionally harm you. Taking medication, and then drinking isn't exactly a brilliant idea. It isn't preferred and if you drink alcohol, you should alert your doctor.

Kay , i'm 16 - I want to get my nose pierced . Say I get it done , but in a couple of years I want to take it out ... will the hole grow up ?

It'll close. Piercings aren't forever if you don't want them to be. I have my lip done, and I'm sure my hole will be more noticeable if I decide to remove it but it's your nose. The holes for that piercing are tiny. It'll be fine.

What are the rules about legal curfews? I heard that if you're caught out after dark you'll get fined. Is this for people walking around, or driving? And what age?

Everywhere is different. When I was living in New York, there was a curfew depending on ages, days & what part of town you lived in. In some places, the curfew could've been city-wide. For us, it was that nobody under 16 could be out past 11 pm on any night & for weekends it was like 12 am or something. Then again, we had curfew because our crime rate among teens was really high & they wanted to make sure people were being responsible & not up to no good.

However, I live in California now & there is no curfew which I was actually really surprised about it. It's probably just best if you Google it.

what do you do if your parents accuse you of something you didnt do?

Sit them down & explain why you're not guilty while looking them straight in the way in a serious tone. If you get whiny or defensive, they probably won't take you very seriously.

what is it mean to "be there for someone"? and how do you be there for someone? is it considered being there for someone if your friend didnt go to you for advice but you came to them and you ask them what's wrong and they tell you whats wrong with them?

Yes, that counts.

Being there for someone is basically just not being around when it's convenient for you & being there when they need you. If they have a problem or a question, you're the person they go to for help. You basically just listen & try & help as much as you can. In a way, advice columns are being there for someone when they have nobody else to turn to.

Hi i just turned 16 and i want a summer job.. I attend school and i should be getting out around june. I would like a job during the summer time.

should i start applying now or should i wait a little longer.
and what are some tips so i can get noticed by the people who are hiring and should i still ask for a application even if they do not have a "now hiring" sign out.. please help this is my first job. Please just give me some tips.
thank you ever so much:)

I think you should apply now mostly because this is around the time places are looking for people. They want you now so that they can train you for what you need to do, and so that you can be ready by the time you start.

If it's a retail store, I think it helps if you apply at places you like & feel comfortable in. If the environment makes makes you feel weird or un-welcome, then obviously you shouldn't apply there. Also, apply at places that sell things you're interested in. If you like reading, work at a bookstore. If you like clothes (who doesn't?), work at a store in the mall & if you like music, work at a record store. Or you can work at a grocery store because everyone likes food & air conditioning!

If they don't have a Now Hiring sign out, don't let it discourage you. Apply anyways because it shows that you're determined & they like it. List that you're available for Seasonal & Part Time since you aren't old enough to work Full Time yet. And if they call you for an interview, dress in nice clothing. You can ask what they prefer because sometimes they prefer casual, but some places like it if you were a nice outfit or something. Also, just be really nice & friendly. If you give off a bad attitude or you seem rude, they probably won't like you.

And don't apply on weekends because they more than likely won't even consider you. Also, if you have facial piercings (lip, eyebrow, monroe) be careful where you apply because most places are really picky about stuff like that & want professional looking people. But places like Hot Topic, Journey's, Zumies & Pac Sun don't usually care because it's in the "culture" of the styles they're promoting. I'm sure if you have your nose pierced, they won't mind so don't worry too much about that.

do you believe in soul mates? why or why not?

I absolutely do believe in soulmates. I don't think anybody is destined to be alone, nor do they deserve to be. It could take a while to find them, but eventually I believe one does.

How old were you when you lost your virginity?

I was 15, but I do not regret my decision at all.

my cousin died a few years ago and i wanna get a tattoo for him. i'm a girl and i want it on my upper back, like my shoulder blade .. and i want it to be small but how small can they make it? i want a cross with his name and maybe some dates but i dont want it too big .. any ideas? i just dont want it to be big

They can usually make a tattoo pretty small, but they can only do it to a certain point because if they make it too small, it'll blotch & look really bad so every tattoo has to have a medium.

If you're asking a cross with lettering/numbers, they're gonna have to do it kind of big. Not completely huge, not tiny either because again, the lettering will smudge & blotch together & it'll look bad.

I think your best bet is to talk to a tattoo artist because they're really the ones who can help you better than us here. We're not the professionals, they are, so they're the ones you need to get into contact with.

Also, make sure you go somewhere clean. If they open nothing in front of you & don't explain the process or the aftercare, leave. Places like are potentionally dirty & you don't wanna be tattooed there. If it helps, try googling the top 10 best parlors in your city. Or if you have friends/family with tattoos, ask some of them because they'll know who's good & who isn't.
