I'm a 15 year old girl and I am what you would call clean. I shower everyday. I have straight-ish, medium thick, brown hair and it gets greasy very quickly and it makes me look scumy. what can I do to fix it

One of the easiest ways to fix this problem is to wash your hair every other day. The more you wash it, the natural oils in your hair are gone. I know this is hard and I wash my hair every day as well. Your hair isn't greasy, but it just get's flat and it looks that way.



For one, try switching your shampoo and conditioner. Tresemee has great selections for different hair types. You can try the hydration one, or the volume one.



Try avoiding using too much product in your hair. Hairspray, gel, etc. can all make the hair feel dirty.



The next thing, try dry shampoo! Tresemee came out with a new product line of dry shampoo. Instead of using baby powder, try this instead. You spray it in your hair, leave it in for a few minutes, and brush it out. It's super affordable and it can save you a lot of time, especially when you're on the go.

So I activated facebook mobile. I have t mobile and unlimited texting and I wanted to make sure it won't cost me.
Thanks!

I also have T-Mobile and I activated it on Facebook as well. It won't charge you for texts. For example, if someone writes on your wall and it sends to your phone, or if you send picture messages.

Hey i was just wondering Are there any teen clubs in maryland to be exact like ages 13-16 ? the names and where plz

Most cities don't have teen "clubs" but there are probably hang out places. I tried Googling it for you, but I haven't had much luck. Try searching areas in your hometown.

what can you use instead of an eye primer? like if you dont have an eye primer.

You can use foundation or concealer instead of eye primer. It still makes your eye shadow last :)

Recently, I've gotten really bad writers' block. I mean, I get some ideas, but for some reason, I get too bored or lazy to write it and it's really upsetting me because writing is basically my reason for living. I adore making up my own stories and characters, you know, my own worlds. I've tried writing prompts and actually forcing myself to just buckle down and write, but when I reread what I wrote, it sounds absolutely horrible and I have to erase it all. When I go back and read things I've posted online, it makes me sad, but happy at the same time because I used to be perfect at coming up with things and now it's just wrong.
It's kind of upsetting me. Is there anyway I can change this and get back to my old style again?

I know what you mean, it happens to be all the time. Sometimes, you just need to take a short break and focus on other things. In the meantime, you will be getting new ideas for different stories to write. Every day, write a little bit. Ideas, notes, etc. Try writing when you're not tired and make sure you're in a relaxed environment. You seem like you love to write, so don't worry.. it'll come back to you. I'm sure the things you write aren't horrible, you just have high expectations for yourself. You'll get back to your old style of writing in no time, don't worry :)

I'm a 14 year old chick and I have a soft spot in my heart for horror movie psychos. I absolutely adore Leatherface. This can't possibly be normal, is it?

Everyone likes different things... why wouldn't it be normal? As long as you don't attempt anything you watch in the movies, you're fine :)

Agree my life sucks would love too have it over today would be good, I blaim my ex husband for no suport and three kids i do not like. I could have used help in making them better people, but he walked away . and lifes the life of a millionare littraly his house is worth 2 million please advices on way of getting rid of myself I offer nothing

You're being very selfish right now. If you have three children, how dare you say you don't like them just because of your ex-husband? A guy does not make a woman and if you're THAT dependent on a man, then that is something you should probably change. Some people would do anything to have a life, and you're throwing yours away for no reason.

I'm 14 and a chick.
My friends expect me to be some hard core rock metal fan because I have blue hair and combat boots. Truth is, I'm a die hard Simon & Garfunkel fan, lol. I like old people music. Is this normal?

Your appearance on the outside has nothing to do with the music you like or your interests. It's okay if you're different from your friends.

hi i live in a very small house, i need to no the steps to getr your pparents t omvoe

You can't just convince your parents to move just because you want a bigger house. You're not the one paying for rent or the bills, so be thankful you have a house and a bed to sleep in :) Be a little more appreciative towards your parents.

i read on the back on the aloe vera bottle that it moisturizes your skin. if i put it on my face, would it make me break out?

Aloe Vera does moisturize skin, but because it's made from a natural plant, you won't break out unless you're allergic to it. If you can use it on the rest of the body, then you can also use it on your face. The skin on your face is a lot more sensitive, so don't use a lot and you can use it if you're sunburn as well.

hi my cousin just told me that a chinese or japanese woman's vagina is shaped differently from other ethnic groups. i had never heard this before and would like to know if this is true.

All vagina's are the same, no matter what ethnic group it is.

we almost went out, but we didn't. now we have a class together and we started talking again. we both really like eachother, i've liked him for a LONGG TIMME...now he's ignoring me sometimes. its like a little game, we make eachother say hi first, but i'm getting so sick of it..nobody waits forever,right? why do boys ignore youuu??

Boys are stupid. I just went through so much drama with that kind of stuff, it's pathetic. If guys can play games, so can we and don't let him make you say hi first. Wtf, lol it's like you eather want me or not. It's like he wants you to do everything first and it shouldn't be that way.

I just turned 16 last month, i've never "gone out" with a boy OR had my real first kiss..how much of a loser am i?

You're not a loser, it just hasn't happened for you yet and that's fine. You'll find that boy, just don't be in a hurry for it.

Why the heck is everyone labeling me? I am so tierd of it! They call me tomboy and goth!(dont worry I'm not anti goth). They think I'm goth because I love hevy metal, scary movies and books, and I do where black alot but its usally just one peice of clothing. And they call me a tomboy because I have really short (10 year old boy short) hair (its natrully black), I love basketball, ice hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, hanging with the boys, playing video games, stuff like that. I dont care about my aperance I just put on whatevers clean! How do I get them to stop calling me "gothboy"?

Throughout life, everyone will stereotype everyone. You can't make people stop calling you those things but the best thing to do is to ignore it. It might be hard when you constantly hear it, but if you don't belive the things that people say, let it go. It's not worth stressing about it because those people don't care.

Hey! Your hair is really pretty, and I am just wondering what you use to make it so full, and curly.
Products, techniques?
-Woahtherebabe

Thank you. I honestly don't use any products. I use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner but that's pretty much just it. When I curl my hair I just wrap it around the curling iron and put hairspray and when I'm dont, I brush it out with my fingers and it gets like that. Sorry if I'm not a bigger help.

ok so im 14/f and still TERRIFIED of the dark. every night when i go to sleep i imagine murderers breaking in and killing me. I don't watch scary movies anymore, just a few here and there. the old ones still come back to haunt me, i'll remember any scary thought when it's nighttime. the fact that my house is PITCH BLACK at night doesn't help at all either. i really really desperately need help, i'm scared to go to bed at night. i can't even get up to go pee because im scared the killer with "hear me". i want to use a nightlight, but i don't want my parents to think i'm a wuss, i mean i'm 14!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me find a way to be comfortable in my own house at night.

It's okay if you're scared but it doesn't make you a "wuss". You should tell your mom to get you a nightlight, the ones that you can just plug in. She won't think anything bad. You're her daughter and she loves you no matter what. Before you go to sleep, listen to some music, read a book, or watch tv to get your mind off the bad thoughts. Hopefully it'll work. If it makes you feel better, make yourself get up and check that no one is there. Be brave enough to do it and then you'll get over your fear.

What does 'mongomous' mean? I'm not sure if it's spelled right, it's probably not because I couldn't find a definition of it on google. It's just I've seen it a couple of times and I have an idea what it may mean.. but not completely sure. Any help?

Hope that helps.
