about

Heyy Everyone! I'm Heather, and I write an advice column for my school paper, so I got tons of experince, if anyone needs any advice at all, just ask! That's why I'm here.

advice

I have medium length hair, its about 6 inches below my shoulders. I have a winter dance coming up soon, what are some cute hair styles i could use? I plan on getting my hair done by a stylist so i need a picture to show them.

You could do a partial up-do, half of your hair up with a rhinstoned clip or something that would match your dress, and curl some of the bottom peices with a spiral hair curler. For the bottom half, leave the bottom bulk of your hair striaght and just spiral some of the peices. This would give you a multilayed look and give your hair a look of maximum volume. And as always, you'll look stunning! Don't forget to apply shine though! Bed Head Hair products has awesome shine products like the "Bed Head Girl Toys Shine Serum" You just spread it in your palms and play it into your hair. (Sold at CVS!)

I coudlnt find a picture, but I hope it's pretty self explanitory. ;) Have fun at your dance. Hope I helped!
Love, *Heather*

Heyy, uhm maybe you can think hes attractive, but if you think anymore, like having sexual desires towards him, thats called incest, so it would be bad. But you can think he is good loooking, no biggie there.

I always worry when I'm home alone. Like I always think the worst. I don't know if there's something wrong with me or what but I am always thinking of what would happen if robbers broke in. I just know I would pass out. Because I know if I hear something in the house I will get real nervous and start to feel like I am gonna faint. Could their be something wrong with me? Or is it just all in my mind?

So you're basically exactly like me. I used to get scared all the time, thinking that someone woudl break in, rob my house, kidnap me...always thinking the worse. But it's all in the mind. And there's nothing at all wrong with you, you just have a good sense of safety and common sense that bad things can happen in the world.
But, remember - bad things don't a.l.w.a.y.s happen.
The house makes noises, as ridiculous and vague as that sounds. Whether it's the floor boards creaking or the wind, it's only sounds.
To feel more at ease you might want to go into a room that is away from a central room of the house, like one with big windows or the room that's right where the front or back door is. To help yourself calm down you might want to turn on the tv just to get your mind off of the noises your house makes. Make some phone calls to your friends, to something that distracts you from being in the quiet where your thoughts can just run wild.
Also, talk to your parents, tell them that you hate being home alone, and maybe you guys can work out a way so that it doesn't happen often, or they can talk to you about why you get scared and can maybe help you overcome your fears.

what is a geological timescale like from what time to what time is recent epoch pleistocene epoch pliocene echop miocene echop etc..

The geologic time scale is used by geologists and other scientists to describe the timing and relationships between events that have occurred during the history of the Earth. The table of geologic periods presented here is in accordance with the dates and nomenclature proposed by the International Commission on Stratigraphy, and uses the standard color codes of the United States Geologic Survey.

Geological evidence indicates that Earth is about 4570 million years old. The geologic or "deep" time of Earth's past has been organized into various units according to events which took place in each period. Different spans of time on the time scale are usually delimited by major geologic or paleontologic events, such as mass extinctions. For example, the boundary between the Cretaceous period and the Palaeogene period is defined by the extinction event that marked the demise of the dinosaurs and of many marine species.

so people say not to eat after 7pm
what about if its healthy foods such as grapefruits, applesauce or yogurt?

Heyyy girlie!!

their right you shouldnt eat after 7 because you body cant digest as well when your sleeeping, furing the day when you eat lunch you walk around and it burns calories. Now eating grapefruits and applesauce, is better than skittles and reeses, but yogurt tends to have many lipids and fatty acids, which is good but their hard to brun while sleeping. so stick with the fruit chica, and you'll be set

i am an 18 year old female. i have been on and off with this guy for three years and have had very good and some bad times...right now we are not going out, but we act like it. we are not seeing others and spend tons of time together. i love him and he used to love me but now he says he is confused about what love is. he doesnt want to go out and i dont understand how the title and how we are now are different. he might be going away for the summer. he is not seeing other people so i am wondering if anyone could explain maybe where he is coming from and if there is something i am not realizing or anything...thanks

He said he needed space. And thats exactly what you shoud give him. Make some time for you, and treat him as your friend, not your boyfriend. If he doesn't want a relationship right now, don't give him one. It'll only make both of you even more confused. Give him time, and in time he'll come around and tell you what he wants - which, most likely, will be you and him dating again ;)

whats a good job for me?
-I don't like to work with people
-I have no highschool degree
-I can't do physically straining work

-I like being outdoors, but its not a necessity
-I like animals
-I'm a little dumb, yes

Well, you could become a dog walker or animal sitter. The only people you would have to see would be the owners, and that is only for a limited amount of time before the go out for the day if you're babysitting for the animal, or if you're coming by to pick up their dog to take it out for a walk. You don't need a degree. You'd get to be outdoors. You said you like animals. Walking isn't physically straining, and neither is sitting ;). And you'd also make good money as long as you advertise as much as you can by perhaps making posters about your business and asking your local stores or grocery markets if you can put them up on their windows so your town could see them. People who have animals but are always on the go would love to have your help, especially if they just got a brand new animal who can't stay home alone just yet but they have to go to work or something.
So it's basically perfect.
Hope I helped you out a little. good luck!

Ok i am like extremly shy when it come to guys and stuff, and I don't want to be. Does anyone know a way to overcome that?

Heyy Girlie -

All i can tell you, is be yourself. There's nothing better than acting the way you want to, you have more fun, and you're self esteem will be higher! When your self-esteem and confidence build, you'll break out of your shell. Just remember be yourself!
ps. theres nothing wrong with being shy!

Im 13 (female) So...there's this guy. ANd i REALLY like him...or at least i used to. Hes really cool and we're friends and stuff...see....i told him that i liked him...but it turns out that the same day...he had a friend fix him up with another girl...and she dosent reallylike him...and so now he thinks that the only reason i talk to him is because i like him and he barely talks to me and....what should i do?

hey chicaa..

I would talk to her about it, and tell her it isnt fair for her to do this to her man. I would not tell him (yet) though because you dont want to ruin the realtionship. Tell her that he would probably be more hurt if you let things linger like this, and you want a chance.

Hope i helped!

I get really bad headaches all the time..i take advil and they go away..should i go to a doctor and see if there is anything wrong with me?


14/f is that helps

Hey gurl,
I got headaches constantly about 2 years ago for reasons unbeknownst to me, I went to see the nuerologist and he told me that I had been getting migranes, and it's usually passed on genetically. My mother would always get bad headaches too. Then he told me to change my diet, just to take the caffeine and stuff out of it. So to go slow on the coffee, chocolate, soda...etc.
My migranes started going away and I haven't gotten once since, and it's been a few years now. So you definatly want to go and see your doctor.
Good luck

i know this is long but please help!

i'm a 15 yr old girl.

i've become best friends with this guy alex but i've always had a teenie little thing for him, nothing too big cuz i know how complicated the whole friends to more thing can get..

anyways me and him are also best friends with this girl ashley and she told me that he said he liked me... but then 2 days later he's going out with another girl

now hes single and he's been flirting with me a lot... most people thought we were going out already.. i just don't know if i should really go along with it, would this ruin our friendship? i like him but i don't even know if he's just flirting with me just cuz he can and thinks i won't do anything b/c we're friends or if hes really sincere about it? please help quick!

If you're worried about ruining your friendship with him by dating, I don't think it would ruin what you guys have because going out would only make you two feel closer. Besides if you feel like the relationship isn't going where you want, and you thought you two were better as friends, you should be the one to let him know first thing and let him down smoothly and tell him you just want to go back to the way it was. That way, you'll be able to see if you guys are a compatible couple, and be able to hold on to your friendship if all falls down. You only live once, it's better to act than regret.

I'm due my period during exam time which really sucks!!!!!!!! Sorry if this is gross but I have reeeeeally heavy periods so it's gonna be really hard for me (it's very bad when I stand up after sitting down for a long time - like in an exam). Obviously I will take plently of extra pads and use the highest one but has anyone got any other tips to get me through the exams while I am on my period? I mean normally they are so bad I have to take a day or two off school.
P.S. I want to go on the pill to lighten them but my doc said wait a bit and see if they work themselves out. What can I do in the meantime?????

Heyy hun.
That sucks major. But, to lighten your period you're gonna wanna drink alot of fluids and try eating a banana every morning before school while you have it, it's suposed to help. Also, if you're uncomfortable wearing tampons, you could try wearing two pads. Not ontop of eachother, but spread them out so they spread across all of your underwear. It'll prevent leaks and make you feel more relaxed and let you concentrate on your exams.
Good luck
