Tomorrow I have to get my first cavity done.. ever! I'm so scared because I know they have to numb your mouth with novocaine by putting a needle through your gum! I have such a fear of needles or anythign sharp but I still have to get this done. Does the shot really hurt that much? What can I compare the pain too! Thank you

I just had a cavity not too long ago and the actual process doesn't hurt at all because your mouth is numb. The needle thing though, doesn't really hurt, but it might make you wince and your eyes might water. That's what happened to me, it could be different for you though. But it doesn't hurt that bad, and it only lasts no more than 5 seconds. I don't mind needles, but I'm terrified of what they use at the dentist on your mouth, so I know how you feel. And also, in case you wondered, the numbness should go away in about 4 hours after it's done. Ok I hope I helped answer your question and good luck! And don't worry, it will all be over sooner than you think. :)

I'm going to be going to Hawaii in a week and it's a 5-8 hour flight. I'm TERRIFIED of planes...I have this phobia that they will crash in the middle of the ocean and I'll die. I would really like some advice about things I can do on the plane to take my mind off how scared I'm going to be and some techniques I can use to help me not be so scared. I own a laptop and I'm 13.

I'm afraid of planes too, but I go on them every year and this is what I tell myself. A statistic says that you are more likely to die from a donkey attack than die in a plane crash. Also, I've heard that air travel is safer than land travel since there's nothing you can crash into. My dad also told me that each year, only about 3 planes crash. Every day, approximately 10,000 planes take off. What does that tell you? And to keep your mind off of it, bring music to listen to, your laptop, or anything else you think will keep you busy. Sleeping also helps quite a bit, since you won't know what's happening. I really hope I helped! I tried, haha! Have fun in Hawaii! ♥ Erin

(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.

Yes, this always happens to me. If you don't feel like going out and buying expensive stuff to fix it, here's what I do. Just put one of your fingers in a nail polish remover bottle (the kind where you twist your nail in the sponge) and keep it in there for about 3-5 mins. each, twisting your finger around. And most of the glue and crap will come off. Well, I hope this works! Good luck! ♥ Erin

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/SanDisk-Digital-Audio-Player-SDMX3512A18-/sem/rpsm/oid/135106/catOid/-12952/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

that is the one i have if it matters.

thanks...ill rate 5s if you tell me how!!!

Wow, that's exactly what I have. Ok well you know the folder where you put your songs in? I think it's called the Removeable disk when you click on My Computer. Well you just go there and take the songs out. That's what I do and it works. Hope I helped! ♥ Erin

what is the best medicine/pills for mentrual pains (im 13 and overweight if that matters)

Nope, being overweight doesn't matter at all. My mom and I take Motrin IB, and it works really good. You could also use Pamprin, I heard that works good, too. Also try laying down with heating pads, that always makes me feel better! And CHOCOLATE!!!! Lots. Haha. Hope I helped! Feel better hun! ♥ Erin

hi i am a girl in the 9th grade and i am having a problem with my Basic algebra math teacher. like she is soooo weird!!! her name is Mrs.Dissenger. shes is not that old, but really hyper ALL THE TIME!!!!! and that is what gets me in trouble ALL THE TIME!!! like i almost got kicked out of the class a coupla times!!! but there is no other class i could go to so i have to stay in her class!!!!! she likes to pretend that we are little kids and talk like a mom does tpo her little 5 year old!!! it is sooo annoying! and then i get busted for laughing!!!! is that stupid, or am i just over reacting?????
~confused!!!!

Nah, you're not overeacting. I hate when teachers treat you like little kids and act like they are your parents--they're not. Just try to contain your laughter until after class. Cover your mouth if it helps. It's embarrassing if you start laughing in the middle of class. That's happened to me, so I know how you feel. Haha. Good luck with your math teacher. It'll be fine. Hope I helped! ♥ Erin

Okay well im not sure what i am doing for halloween yet...I have been asked by about 4 or 5 differnt people if i would go out with them on halloween...I never said yes to any of them yeat and i dont kno who to go with....i was thinkin of just stayin home and not goin with any of them caue i dont want anyone to get mad at me...how can i choose??

(FYI they all hang out with diffent groups of people so i cant go with all of them together..)

It's hard being popular...haha, just kidding. I don't think you should just stay home...what fun is that? I think you should either pick the first person who asked you, like the other person said, or pick the person you think you'd have the most fun with -or whoever has the biggest neighborhood : )- Just tell the other people that you have other plans, I'm sure everything will be fine. Hope I helped! ♥ Erin

My sister always takes clothes from my room, and it bothers me ALOT. I always flip out on her when she does, and I tell her not to do it again, but she keeps doing it. And she doesnt care, I said what part of stay out of my room dont you understand? Then she acts smartass and says "All of it." One time I threatened her that if she did it 1 more time I'd tell mom she had sex with this guy. (She told me she did) Well, she took something after that, and I flipped out and said I'm telling mom, and she says whatever, she won't believe you. My mom will probably believe it, but I don't know if I should tell or not, because my sister will probably still take things from my room anyways. Should I tell or not? And how do I keep her out?

Hey! Don't tell your mom. Because your sister will get really mad, and just take more things to get back at you, or even tell your mom something about YOU. So, just tell your mom that she won't stop going into your room and taking your clothes. And see if she can do anything about it. Also, ask if you can get a new door knob that can only be opened with a key. My brother went in my room all the time, and so I got one of those, and now he can't go in! And if you're not allowed to do that, then just hide your clothes where she won't look, like in the back of your parents' closet or anywhere else you think she won't look. Well, good luck! Hope I helped! ♥ Erin

i cant get a boyfriend. all the boys say that im sooo hot but they wont go out with me. whats wrong with me? why cant i get a boyfriend?
help me! ^O^

Hey, don't worry, nothing's wrong with you. There's something wrong with those guys though. A lot of guys are stupid and will only want you for sex, and you don't want that. So try to forget about those guys, and try flirting with other guys you like. And if they flirt back, ask them out! Good luck! Hope I helped! ♥ Erin

I so hate cell phones, they are so annoying it seems like I always get a call when I least want one. I rate 5's for the heck of it.

Lol. Ok, well try putting it on silent or vibrate when you don't want it to ring. I'm not sure what kind of phone you have, but I have a Verizon and on the side, there's a thing where you can set it to silent and everything. If you can't find it, just look in your phone manual. Good luck!

Yes, I realise that these questions are asked ad finitum, but mine is SLIGHTLY different, so please hear me out!
I'm having problems with spots but I have INCREDIBLY sensitive skin - concealer, spot sticks, even tea tree oil sets me off in huge rashes. I've tried all sorts of face wipes and washes, including Garnier, Clearasil, Clean and Clear, WitchHazel, and Skin:Naturals, but none of them seem to do anything much for me. Does anyone know of any more 'natural' or 'home' remedies that I could use and are suitable for sensitive skin? I'm talking about both the occasional spot and all over here. Thanks!! xxx

Hey! You should probably go see a doctor about it, but there's this stuff called Bare Minerals that's supposed to work REALLY well! I'm not sure if it's sold in stores, but I see comercials for it on TV all the time. Good luck!

My friends trying to quit smoking, he asked me for adviced and I told him to use those patch thingys. But is there any other ways to quit smoking? If you smoked, and now you dont..how'd you stop? Thanks and I'll rate everyone!

Well, I don't smoke, but my brother does, and he's using the Nicorette gum stuff. It's orange flavored. And that's working really well. Good luck!

I'm a 15/f and I me and my family are thinking of going on a cruise this summer. None of us have ever been on a cruise. I get sea sick pretty easily, but I heard that on a cruise since the ship is so large, you don't get sea sick. Is this true? Also, what was your experience like on a cuise and which cruise line did you take? Lastly, we are debating about where to go on the cruise (it's between Alaska and the Caribbean)... have any of you been on one/ both of these cruises, which one did you like more... or what was your experience with one of them. Also, are there more teenagers on one or the other. Thanks so much!!! I rate 5's for serious answers!

You don't get sea sick, because it's so large and it doesn't rock. I went on the Carnival Triumph and it was awesome! This one social host was so hot and everything, it was AWESOME! There's so much stuff you can do. There's free icecream and frozen yogurt machines and you can have as much as you want. Free drinks too. And the food is awesome! You're going to have so much fun. I would recommend the Caribbean. We went there and we went snorkeling and bought these cool island clothes. The weather is nice and it's soooo warm. I've never been on an Alaskan cruise, but I'm sure there will be lots of teenagers on either one.

everytime i leave my hair down if i brush it it gets all staticy. how can i stop ot from getting like that??? (i use conditioner)

Make sure you only use conditioner on the ends, and not your roots. (plus it can make your hair oily) Use static guard, that works GREAT! It's really cheap. You spray it on your brush and just brush it like normal. Good luck!

I was wondering, where do your wisdom teeth come from? Are they on both top and bottom, or only on the top.. or the bottom?

Um, well, I guess they come from your mouth, lol! They're on both top and bottom.
