I've always been into the ska scene. I was wondering if you guys had any new ska groups I can try out. I like a lot of ska, but I prefer the sounds of sublime, etc. Kind of laid back and more mellow as apposed to say... the Mad Caddies or faster ska music. Do you have any other bands I could listen to? (link)

I highly recomend Long Beach Dub Allstars. Its got a few members from Sublime and a few new guys. They sound similar to Sublime only a little more reggae so I'm not sure if you would like it or not.

I am interested in getting a tattoo for my 20th birthday. My best friend is getting it for me as a gift. I am planning on getting the air jordan symbol with a 23 right below it. However, I am not sure where to put it. I am a tall, kind of skinny guy so I don't think it would look good on my arm. I also think it would really hurt if I put it on my shoulder blade which is where I originally thought of putting it. Your suggestions are appreciated!!! Thanks (link)

I've got one on my shoulder blade and it was the least painful one I've got (I have 7). For a guy though, I would recommend right between your shoulder blades about a few inches below your neck. In my opinion thats the sexiest place a guy can have a tatoo. Good luck and remember not to drink any alcohol for 48-72 hours before you get inked. It will cause major bleeding and can actually cause the quality of your tat to be worse.

Kelsey-
I'm so sorry for the pain and disruptions your childhood has had to endure. I myself come from an incredibly broken and messed up family so I have a very good idea of what you are going through. First, the cutting. If your mom isn't hearing your cries of help, you need to see another adult that will get you the help you need. Go to your grandparents, an aunt or uncle, a friends parents, whomever you need to until someone sees that you have a major problem. It sounds to me like you might need to see a therapist. You definatly need someone to talk to you about these feelings you are having in regards to your mom, her boyfriends and your messed up childhood. I know that right now it may seem like nothing good will ever happen in your life again, but thats so far from the truth. Everything I went through as a kid, made me the stronger, better person I am today. But first, get help with the cutting. If you need any other help, please just message me.

i am going to a concert this saturday. its kind of pop-punk i guess. i really want to stand out in the crowd. what are some cute things i could wear. and are there any cool make-up or hairstyles i should do? (link)

If your hair is long enough, you can twist it. It kind of looks like mini-dreadlocks when done but super cute. All you do is twist about 1/2 inch section of hair from the root to the tip. Spray the twist with hairspray, let dry a few seconds and run a flat-iron over the twist. Do your whole head this way. You can either leave it all down or you can pin the sides back with bobby-pins. I would suggest a trial run before the concert, as this hairstyle does take a little bit of time to do, as well as to make sure it's the look you are going for. As far as clothes go, I would suggest wearing a cute tank top. Concerts get extremely hot so you want to be comfortable. Have fun!!

I've decided, at age 23 to finally go to college. I'm extremely interested in philosophy and religous studies. Problem is, I don't know if the grades I made in high school were good enough to be accepted into the philosophy program. It seems like I read somewhere (which I can't find now on the site anywhere) that the professors took that into account. Do they? Or do they look at your core class grades? Does it matter if you took AP classes in high school? I did take AP English, but thats it.I've been putting off school for so long, and now that I've found something I'd like to study, I'm afraid I won't be accepted and that I'm setting myself up for a big dissappointment. Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of being accepted? Thanks! (link)

First you'll want to contact the university you plan on attending. Generally, schools have academic advisors who can answer all of your questions. The college I used to work at had placement tests if you didn't have good enough grades or were a returning adult. If there is a waiting list for your program, or you aren't accepted into that program right away, don't give up. You can always take general classes to help improve your gpa until a spot opens for you.
Good luck, remember there will be some challenges ahead, especially if you will be working by attending school. But the rewards are well worth the work. Just don't lose track of why you are doing this.

my friend and i are recently getting in fight and they are mostly about her bf(im 14/f by the way)her bf said some really mean stuff to me and my friend was mad at him about it for like 5 min and then forgave him.she always does that when hes mean to me or her. Should her and i stay friends or should we go our seperate ways?
thanks (link)

You should definatly stay friends, but tell her that because of how her boyfriend treats you, you don't want to hang out with him at all. Also, that you would prefer not to hear what he has to say about things, if he has no respect for you, then just remove yourself from the situation as much as possible. Just try to be there for your friend though, if he is being mean to her also, she's going to need a shoulder to cry on.

My hair is Thick, long, wavy, semi-damaged, brown..
Please recommend products for:
Shampoo:
Conditioner:
Deep conditioner:
Hot-oil treatment:
Shine serum:
Heat protecting spray:
Thanks soooo much! I'll rate for anyone who answers

I love, love, love Infusium 23. The shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner everything works great. As far as a shine serum, I would go with Pantene. I don't use a hot oil treatment or a heat protecting spray as I try not to use heat to style my hair. That is what causes the damage in the first place. I do have really thick and long hair and it used to be really damaged until I stopped damaging it myself. Hope these work for you.

Im going to lose my virginity this Saturday and Im very scared and nervous. I really wish I was prepared but Im not. I really am ready though. I just wanted some advice from ppl who already lost the Big V. Or maybe some websites telling what it's like. I know the skin hurts when it breaks but I dont know what it's like to have a guy "In There". U kno,,, with a condom. I really don't want to make a big fool of myself. Thanx. (link)

Losing your virginity shouldn't be something you schedule into your calender to do. You don't say how old you are or if this is with a boyfriend or just a friend or what, but from the way I read your question, I would urge you to wait until you are more ready for this. It kind of sounds to me like perhaps you are being pressured into this and thats not how you want to remember your first time being.
Just remember, you can't undo IT once IT is done. Please be 150% sure that this is what you want to do before you do it.
As for what it is like, it is different for everyone. Some females feel a lot of pain for a few moments, some bleed, some just feel pleasure right away. The more you are worried about making a fool of yourself or doing it right or wrong, the less pleasureable it will be for you. It is always akward the first time, thats why you want it to be with someone who makes you special and is going "ease you into it". Good luck in making the right decision for you.

Hi, I apologise for this may be a little long.
I got dumped a few weeks ago by this guy after this huge misunderstanding. Some guy tried to interfere and told me all these things about my bf, that he was cheating on me and saying things behind my back. I confronted my bf about it and he was really angry for not trusting him.. said we were over.. said it had been coming for a while and that was that.
Well, I blocked and deleted him and tried to forget about him. For two weeks we didn't contact each other at all. But I still thought of him and was upset about what happened. He wanted to "still be friends" but I don't believe in that personally. I thought having a complete break would make me get over him, but it didn't.
The other day I went on my old MSN account and I forgot my ex was still on there. After about 20 mins he IMed me and said "I've figured out who it was who said those things" I considered blocking him there and then, but I didn't. We started talking and soon we got onto the topic of us. I wanted him to stop because I didn't think it mattered anymore where it all went wrong.. but he said he wanted to let me know everything and he really wanted to work things out. We got everything out in the open, even argued a bit because he called me "sheltered" just because my mom was strict. But we went through everything and left on decent terms laughing and joking around like old times (We were friends for years)
We're meeting in person in a couple of days to talk properly, and there's a chance we might get back together. But I'm not sure whether it's a good idea. What should I do? Give him another chance, but slow down things for a while? Or just forget him and move on with my life? I'm still angry about being dumped and the fact he waited so long to do this.. but I still have feelings for him. Help? lol. Thanks. (link)

So you're ex dumps you because he says you don't trust him, and that this "had been a long time coming"? Sounds to me like he's not worthy of your trust. If he had been thinking about dumping you for a while, then he probably isn't going to stick around this time either. If he isn't comfortable discussing issues that come up in your realtionship, it doesn't sound like he's mature enough to handle this realtionship at this point in his life.
By the way... did you ever figure out if these things that were being said were true? Did your ex ever discuss those issues with you? Or did he just jump right into the "you don't trust me" bit? If he never answered your questions, I would say these things are probably true and you should consider yourself lucky to be finished with him. These are some things I would be questioning before deciding to get back together with him.
