I have had my nose pierced for 2 months. My school doesnt allow piercings. I went to a tattoo place to get a nose retainer the clear ring she said I cant use it because it will get stuck in my nose or some b/s like that. Would it be ok if I went ahead and got one? I will rate 5's!

Yeah, get one anyway. If you don't have anything in, the hole will eventually close up and you don't want that. Go ahead and get one, no one will notice and it will be better for your piercing.

what are some good scary movies?

One of my favorites is called "Dead End", and it's about a family that is on this one incredibly long road while taking a vacation, and lots of freaky stuff happens. It's really good, but it has a LOT of cursing in it. I mean a lot.
Another good one is "White Noise"...it's hard to explain what that one is about, it's about a man that tries to communicate with the dead.
And of course "The Ring" and "The Ring 2" are both incredibly good...Um...that's all I can really think of. Hope that helps!

I have always heard that if your wrapper of a Tootsie Roll Pop has the indian shooting a star you can send it in to get a free Tootsie Pop. Is this actually true, and if so who do you send it to?

Yes, I've heard all you have to do is take it to the place you bought it and they'll give you a free one. And actually, it's not THAT common.

My hair right now is a little past my shoulders and for me, it's long. I was thinking about growing it out longer to about the middle of my back and then cut it to a little past my chin and donate my hair to Locks of love. My question is, what is the minimum in inches of hair you can donate? Thanks for the help!

My friend did it, and as others said, it's 10 inches. If your hair is curly they may straighten it. But just be SURE to tell your stylist that you want to donate it. Then they can keep it in a ponytail and everything for you.

does anyone know where i can go to find some hairstyles to look at because i have to get it cut soon.. & also does anyone know some places i can go to get cheap and affordable clothes & what kin dof clothes to look for

thnx

You can search google.com for hairstyles. Like http://www.1001hairstyles.com is a really good one. When you get it cut, ask the receptionist for a book. They have lots of books with hairstyles in them.

As for clothes, Khol's is awesome, so is Marshall's, and JCPenny's.

ok well everyone knows how guys are trying to grow their hair all long n stuff. well- if a guy looks at u then does the little "swoosh" thingy with his hair and fixes it, could that be a sign that he thinks ur hot?

XoXoXo-Katie

I know a ton of guys that do that. Shaggy hairstyles are in right now, and it's pretty uncomfortable to have hair poking your eyeball out. Seriously. It COULD mean he likes you, if he like winks at you or whatever, but if he just does it in passing or isn't like staring at you while he does it, it's not a big deal.

Ok on wed I went to chruch and we had a lesson about sex bracelets but I didn't no any thing about them and I want to know as much as I can so I can tell my church about it I really want to know and if you know any thing about them tell me please.

Basically, what the other people said. They are plastic/jelly bracelts, and if a guy breaks the one you're wearing you "have" to have sex with him. It's stupid. I wear them, I don't care what people say about them.

What are some good screenname Ideas?

-I love Avril Lavigne
-I LOVE LOVE LOVE orca whales
-I skateboard
-I'm a punk, tomboy type

Thanks, I rate really well

AvrilLovinPunk
SkateboardinWhaleLover
PunkyWhales

That's all I could come up with. But you could add the year you were born to any of those, just add the last two digits. (Like AvrilLovinPunk90)

~Laura~

ok, this is for the guys! If your girlfriend kissed you and she was wearing flavoured lip balm, would you like that or find it disgusting?

No, I'm not a guy, but oh well. The only stuff that I've seen guys consider gross is the REALLY fake, strong smelling stuff. If you have litke a reall light scent, and something pretty, not like grape or anything, then no, they don't consider that too gross.

Btw, about the neck perfume, just so you know, perfume tastes DISGUSTING, so I don't at all reccomend putting perfume on your neck. It tastes really bitter and nasty.

'weegi boards'...
how do they work? do they? the fortune telling boards...
where can u get them?

You mean ouija boards? I don't think they work, they just predict fake stuff and make you believe it will happen, but no, they don't. You can get them anywhere though.

I have really bad split ends but my mom doesnt have time to take me to get my hair cut and she wont have time till like October or November. I scrunch my hair now so you cant tell I have splint ends...is there anything I can do to make it less visible until I cut it? Thanks!!

P.S. I'll rate ya!

Yeah, there's great products out there just for split ends. There's so many, just go to Wal-Mart and pick out whichever one looks or smells best. It's all pretty in-expensive. And yeah, I used to cut my hair all the time, and I still do occasionally. Just put it in a pony and whack it off! xD

~Laura~

Hey! I have this challenge thingy set by our teacher and it has a load of riddles on it. I'm really stuck on this certain one, please could you help with this one?

Three men have dinner together. The bill comes up to $30. The men each put down $10, which the waitress takes to the owner who says: They didn't have a very good deal, take $5 off the bill. The waitress is distressed at having to divide $5 by three so she pockets $2 and returns $1 to each man. So they end up paying $27 and she gets $2, this adds up to $29. But the diners orginally paid $30. Where is the extra dollar?

...What the smart people said.

Hey on my legs i have these little red bumps and sometimes they have 2 hairs growing outta it and it bugs me because i have a wedding soon and it looks like i have freakin pimples on my leg!! how do i get it to go away?? And what is it? My second question is i have pimple on my arm how to i get them to go away?? And how do you get stretch marks to go away? THanks so much ill rate yall!

The things on your legs are probably ingrown hairs. They come from shaving with a dull razor, no soap, or dry legs. They go away on their own, but it takes a little while. If you have to show your legs, you could always put a little concealer on them, or wear pantyhose with a dress.

Pimples are easy to get rid of. Just take a washcloth and get it wet and put some really strong body wash on it, and scrub HARD. That will usually break them, and you'll see, they might start to bleed a little. If that doesn't work, you can squeeze them to pop them. Once they pop, put alchohol on them, to dry it up so they don't come back.

And sorry, stretch marks are permanent.

I was wondering if you kept a journal? I do on my computer. If you do have a journal what do you write in it? Can you give me something out of your journal to give me an idea. If not that's ok. But if you can I would love it. But I think my journal is just plain boring. But please help if you can.

Thanks!

I've always kept a journal. They're not always really interesting, but they give me something to look back on when I'm old. :P Sure, I'll post an entry.

My mom is so stupid. She wants me to do this stupid music theory thing on the computer. I don't want to, but she's forcing me. First she makes me play, then she makes me play in public, and now this? Do I not have ANY friggen say in my life!? I even said I didn't watn to do it, and she said "Too Bad.".
Bible study is tonight....like every other Thursday...
I have to go to the orthodontist tomorrow. Why? I mean, I already have my braces off...
And did I mention that Jessica used to think jared was fat and ugly, and now she thinks he's uber sexy? Gah, what a loser.

[/entry] See, it doesn't have to be interesting. You're the only one reading it, or at least I am, so just write about your day, and what cool events are coming up. :)

what is the best prescription treatment for acne

A PRESCRIPTION treatment? I suggest going to your doctor and asking him what would be best. Or a pharmacist, have them give you some names and ask your doctor about them. As for a non-prescription, Clearasil works REALLY well, it's quite strong for not being a prescription.

I'm 13, and I am 5`1. Is there any ways I can grow taller? I heard that after you get your period, you stop growing, but i want to keep growing, because I got mine at an early age (9). My mom said that Yoga will add PLENTY of inches (maybe up to 5`6) , but is there another way that I can get taller? Thanks.

Comments to some of the answers, even if your parents are skyscrapers, you could still be short. Everyone in my family is over 5'9", but my sister is only 5'1" or 5'2". What about your parents' parents, are they short?

And yeah, Yoga REALLY helps. As does milk, and try some walking/running/jogging. I can't garuntee it will work, but it does for some people.

How can I keep my eyeshadow on all day? It's powder eyeshadow that I love but it always fades away during the day. I don't want to keep reapplying it. Any tips so my eyeshadow stays on longer?

Put on a little Vasoline or patroliam jelly before you put it on. Just a little tiny bit, apply it with a q-tip and dab it with a kleenex. Then apply your eyeshadow. Works like a charm.

How long does poison ivy usually last?

If you're allergic to it, it lasts a pretty long time. But if not, about a week. Go to the doctor or pharmacy and get some cream for it, it will heal a lot quicker.
