Hi I am 18 and really hate my freckles I don't have alot of them but they still bug me I want to know natural ways to get rid of them I do not want to go out and buy something so please someone help me. (link)
Hmm, I've never had freckles, so I don't have any firsthand experience, but one of my close friends has attempted to remove her freckles as well.

One of the main pieces of advice I can give you is to try not expose your freckles to the sun too much.

My friend reccommended this site to me:
http://www.howtogetridofstuff.com/health/how-to-get-rid-of-freckles/

I'm not sure if you have any of that stuff at home, and I don't know if that is what you would consider a 'natural' way to get rid of them, but hopefully it helped.


I have been thinking, and I want to know if Im the only one, anyway its just sickening to me the generation we are in. What happened to the nice old fashioned guys, and clean tv. Has anyone seen music videos lately? On mtv? I feel disgusted. Im 17 and I most certaintally don't want my future kids to grow up this way. I just heard a song the other day that said "cream on the inside, clean on the outside" are you kidding me?! And what is up with the under aged drinking? I know so many people that just feel like its okay to just drink their brains out and get completely wasted, and just "do it" at such young ages and with whoever they want. I realize not everyone is like this, I most definately am not, but it just makes me sad and I feel like almost nobody cares, and some people think its okay. :-( (link)
I am completely with you on this! I think the same things all the time.

Why can't we have any clean, wholesome music videos, or even songs for that matter? It seems like everything is trying to go for the 'sex' image. I don't want my future kids to be raised in this madness either!

There's so many more things I'd like to go on about, but I shouldn't make this response too long, I suppose.

I'm only 16, and I definitely don't agree with much of what's going on. I'm definitely with you.


if you have ever seen them videos on youtube with the lyrics on the screen so you can sing along well i was wondering how i could make on of them does anyone no ?? (link)
I have seen those videos, and I enjoyed them so much I started making some of my own.

If you have Windows, it should comes with a 'Windows Movie Maker' program. To access it, merely go to the 'Start' icon and then 'All Programs'. Looks through your programs, you should be able to find it - it has a movie reel as the icon.

Once you find it, just open it and then it should be pretty self-explanatory. You can import videos, pictures, and audio. You can add transitions, titles, credits, video effects, etc.

If you have any questions about Windows Movie Maker, feel free to ask me! =)

(By the way, if you have a Mac, I have no idea. Disregard this. :D)


i asked a question a while ago, about amy lee's clothing style, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me get my hair like hers. An example of the way I want it can be found by going to google images. Just type in "evanescence mystery" thanks, and I hope you guys can help! (link)
Hmm, are you going more for the overall hair look or the pieces sticking out?

For the overall hair look it pretty much just looks like her normal hair with a little ruffle in it to give it that "messy" look. (You might want to add a bit of hairspray to keep it steady so it doesn't go back to normal)

I can't really tell all that well from the pictures, but it looks like there was a little something going on the top of her head, to help with the pieces sticking out. I would suggest using a gel of some kind to help with hair to stick out and hold. Or you could just through a pencil in there. =) Hope I helped some.


how do you turn on a 16 year old guy? with out having to touch him in places? (link)
There's tons (and I mean tons) of different ways to turn on a guy.

Most guys each have their own unique thing that turns them on more than other things.

The only advice I have is to just try out some different things. I don't know if you want to be subtle about it, or if he knows?

Anyways, just try to figure out what he likes the most. =) Hope it helps.


i have to admit, i get pretty jealous when i see my boyfriend just talk to a girl. or if a girl just says hi to him. i know, that's not something to get jealous over. maybe because the beginning of the relationship, i caught him flirting with another girl behind my back. i guess i lost some trust, or maybe i just really like him. i'm not sure what it is, but i really hate the fact that i get jealousy really easily. i don't say anything, because i know it's not that big so i try to control it. he told me he gets bothered by the fact that i meet new guys every once and a while. which i'm not sure why, because we can still do what we've been doing even when we're going out right? i have to admit, everytime i get jealous over a girl... i try to get my boyfriend jealous, but it never seems to work. i hate the fact that i try to get him jealous, but it sometimes seems like he doesn't really care what's going on around me. he says he does, but why does it seem like it doesn't? a guy could sit there and try to hug me, and he doesn't do anything. he saw another guy try to flirt with me, but he acts like it's nothing. again, he said he does care... but why doesn't he show it? (link)
First off, it's natural to be jealous of girls who are flirting with your boyfriend. To a point, of course. For guys, it's like second nature for some of them to flirt with other girls. It's just sort of how they are. I would definitely try to not be quite so jealous, and I know you said you're trying, but try to understand: throughout your lives', you're both going to have to talk people of the opposite gender. So maybe you should try to get him alone (and preferably when he's in a good mood=)), and try to talk it out - kindly and calmly. That doesn't work for all people, but it does for some. It can't hurt to try.

Trying to get your boyfriend jealous... I get that you want to - and why - but it's really not worth it. Things like that always seem to end up for the worst.

As for him not acting like he cares if you're with another guy, but then later says he does - it could be (for some guys) that he doesn't like to show things like emotion, hurt, jealousy, etc. So he could just be trying to act all nonchalant, when really it is bothering him.

So I would definitely try to sit down and talk about all this with him. Hopefully that might help. I'm not an expert on this, but I thought I'd give you my two-sense worth. Hope it helps. =)

My parents want to come and spend the night at my house. I have told them hundreds of times that they have really nasty habits (like not washing their hands after using the bathroom then touching food and not taking baths but once a week). Then they come and bring roaches with them (unintentionally of course) from their house, that they refuse to clean. (Then they ask why we don't visit them at their house. Last time we went I got a glass from the cabinet to get some water to drink and it had roach eggs and spiderwebs in it.)I have to treat them like children and tell them how to do things properly. I do not like them giving my kids food because I don't know where their hands have been. When I do tell them that they need to clean up their act, they get offended and blame it on this or that (a line of bull). Then my dad gets mad at me and says sarcastic comments (like I'm sorry we are not perfect like you). I never said I was perfect, I just don't want them to teach my kids ( 2 & 6 yrs. girls) bad habits. They need to be able to look up to them and be proud. Nothing I do seems to help. They never listen, when I'm trying to tell them something they always take it the wrong way. Then they act jealous of other family members (ex: why can u go visit them and not us?). Last time they stayed over night the room had to be cleaned because it smelled after they left. I can't take much more of this, I don't know what else to do other than just start avoiding them. I have put up with this for years, Please help... (link)
Yikes. That doesn't sound so great. I know what you mean - I've got some pretty... interested relative myself.

Honestly, the only thing I can say to do would be to try to get them (maybe when they're in a better mood) and sit down with them. Then try to explain - kindly - what you're thinking and what you don't like so much about their habits. I don't know if that will definitely work, since not all people go for that. All I can say is try to sit down with them, but definitely make sure to point out everything that bothers, and make sure to do it respectfully, not rudely or disrespectful - that never gets very good results.

Good luck with your parents! Hope I helped a little.


what is the song "wicked" by korn about???? (link)
Well, for one, it's a cover song. It's orginally by Ice Cube.

As for the meaning of the song, I'm actully not sure. I looked all over, but didn't really get a thing.

I know that it's kind of meant as a joke, though. KoRn are huge fans a rap, so there you go. Sorry i couldn't find what it's about.

I just got a bible as a present, it's an NIV version. It's purple and green and soo cute, and I'm feeling...inspired. I really want to start sitting down and studying, reading, whatever you want to call it.
My family has a strong Christian background, but we don't go to church or anything like that.
It's such a big book! So...where do I start?
In the back, there are some lists of versus about Jesus' healings and things like that.
I just don't know where to begin. Some versus in the New Testament are in red. Should I start with those?
Do I even read the whole Bible word for word, in order?! Gahhh! I'm so overwhelmed. Please, help! (link)
I know exactly what you mean. I went through the same problem.

What I suggest is buying a good devotional. (If you'd like any specifics, let me know) Devotionals give a nice outline of the Bible, and allow an in-depth study. They target the verses and stories that could really help and relate to us.

If you don't want a devotional, you could either start from the beginning (Genesis), or you could go online, visit a bookstore, church, etc. and try to find a 365-day Bible reading. Now, you don't have to follow it and read the whole Bible in a year, but they normally give good amounts and places to read and when.

Hope I could help.=)
