advice

Hello, I am 16 year old male and I have a passion for photography. I am looking to try to sell some of my work online. I was looking at some of the major stock photo websites but I need some help. Should I try to apply to one of those big sites that reviews your work, or a less know site that does not. Or should I try to get my own domain and sell it myself through my own site. If I did the third option how would I get people to come to my site. Basically what I am looking for guidance on is which option is the best and then how to go about doing that option (for example how would I get my photos on one of those sites or how would I make my own site).

The best way to start is how I started when I was 16. Join iStockPhoto or Shutterstock, get your parents to sign the under-18s form, and upload stock photos. There isn't much you can do at this age to do with selling photos.

In terms of getting known, join sites like Deviantart and Flickr, and work your way up. There is no easy way to get known, especially when there are brilliant photographers out there too.

Hey
Singers.. are they born with a great singing voice? or do they have to train it, and what about people who werent born with singing voices, but are training it, would it have any chance of sounding good?? and can you give me some singing tips/exercises. Especially how to do VIBRATO and vocal Riffing. Please + thankyou!

Some people are born with a natural singing voicebox, and some are born with potential. Some are born with a normal, voice voicebox. But no-one is born without a talent to sing. So to start off with, I'm sure you can sing.

Even the greatest of singers need practice and training. From controlling your stomach muscles, to controlling your diaphragm. Using a chest voice, throat voice or head voice. Training your singing voice long enough, you're sure to get to a somewhat great singing voice.

In terms of tips and exercises. The trick is to reach every semitone within your range, and understand what your body is doing to perfectly reach that note. Try expanding your range, up and down. Jump 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, etc, this will help with actually singing.

Vibrato is often called voice wobbling, and, to me, it couldn't be taught. It was something I picked up on my own, and if someone tried to teach it to me, I wouldn't be able to understand how to articulate it. I guess with Vibrato, it's a bit like swallowing, but not really. Practice and exercise for this would be just to find a note that you're comfortable with singing, and applying that throat action to it.

Riffing is the difficult one. A singer must be very confident with their other aspects of singing. Riffing is a very specific type of singing, and is usually developed through specialized singing lessons.

I hope this has helped even a little, and good luck with your singing!

my girl dont wanna be with me anymore we got into it really bad and i have tried everything that i could think of. what do i do?

If she doesn't want to be with you anymore, she's got to have a reason to feel like that.

She might think you're not good enough, or you're not doing enough to make her feel loved, or wanted, or needed.

You've got to always be there for her, she's not just a tiny slice of your life, she's one of the most important that you (evidently) don't want to lose (right?).

Try something utterly romantic, something that would turn her head, cos right now she's probably going to reject anything of the sort.

But in the end, if she's happier without her, surely you've got to let her be.

I hope things get better for you soon, good luck.

im 14 and my penis is about 4 inches long is that normal? will it grow?

If 4 inches is your erect size:
It is absolutely normal for one's penis to be long or short. I have friends (13-20) ranging from 4.5 inches to 7 inches. There is no 'abnormal' when it comes to penis size/length becuase everyone is different.

If 4 inches is your non-erect size:
4 inches is slightly large for a non-erect penis, not many guys I know have non-erect penises over the length of 2-3 inches. Still, there is no normal or abnormal size for a penis.

Will it grow (Erection-wise):
All penises grow when a guy is aroused sexually, like reading/listening to/watching erotic material. Or thinking of sexual intercourse. Blood rushes to your penis and it 'grows'. Erection in other words.

Will it grow (General size):
My cousin 'helps' his non=erect penis size grow longer by masturbating more, and being more 'sexually active'. I heard that his penis grew 1/2 inch in a week just because he masturbated more.

Again, there is no normal or abnormal size for a penis and yes it can grow (only if you 'let' it).

Hope this helped =)

do all people have birthmarks?

Well after asking several people and checking if I have one, i've come to the statistics of 3/4.

Three out of Four people have birthmarks (according to what I've found out)
So no, not all people have birthmarks, but if you search your body/skin very carefully, I'm sure there is something that distinguishes you from other people.

Hope this helped :)

My boyfriend and I were talking, and we think we are ready to have sex, but we agreed that we have to have condoms and I need birth control, but neither of us really learned about it, so we had some questions.
1. To get it, I would need to go to a doctor right?
2. Do I have to bring my mom with me?
3. At the doctor's office, do I have to be a regular patient? because both of my parents work at a hospital, and I really don't want them to find out.
4. About how much does it cost?
5. Would it be a gynecologist that I have to see?

Thanks so much for helping!!

1. If you want to get on the CONTRECEPTIVE PILL, then yes, you'll have to go to a doctor. Local GP etc
2. No you don't unless you really want to and unless the provider requires parental guidance.
3. No you don't have to be a regular patient, although some would require you to be for later check-ups on the Pill.
4. I'm sorry I have no idea.
5. Ditto

Hope this helped and good luck!

How can I become famous. I want to like, walk down the streets and have everyone say, Hey, thats ____! I want to be an actress. How can I get auditions to go into movies. Please help. I need to know where to start. I'm already taking Improv, Singing, (And soon) Dance classes. PLEASE HELP. Do i need an agent? how do i get one? PLEASE TELL ME EVERYTHING>

Go to theatre school, and if you're in England, STAGECOACH is a very good theatre arts school for people up to 18.

Get an agent. Most film/stage auditions won't accept solo auditioneers. Stagecoach (mentioned above) acts as an agent.

Start small. I started small, a little Extra in Hider-In-the-House, teaching

today my parents wet out for awhile
so i had my boyfriend comeover
and we he ate me out, and fingered me
and i gave him a bj and a hj
and me being stupid, let him have sex with me
without a condom.
that was my first time having sex and he says he didnt cum and i dont think he did eitehr
and my cherry didnt pop. but im not sure if that matters and plus i dont usually wear tampons cause tehre uncomfortable but the tampon could of popped my chery
and also im sore down there
we had sex fo maybe 7 minutes all together so i dont think its that big of a deal
but im freaking out cuase i dont wanna be pregant.
oh and im 15.

This may be a bit too late but it's worth a try.
Go to the doctor, the pharmacy, or a family planning center and get an emergency contriceptive pill. Take it IMMEDIETLY!

The earlier after sex you take it, the better it should work. Take it within 3 days of sex though.


Hope this helps and good luck =]

sorry this is a wierd question, but what does it mean to pop someones cherry?? thanks!

Popping someone's Cherry is basically means making someone loose their virinity by breaking through their hymen.

Cherry is another word for the Hymen, a thin layer of membrane stretched across the vagina several inches in.

hi,
i wanna get a beachy wave perm, not curly, but really lightly wave, but if you ask for a wavy perm - what will it look like? will it look very curly, or wavy? super wavy? and does it make your hair look thicker?

If your hair is thick, then a perm will make it spring outwards. If your hair is thick, then consider getting it layered first.

I have a beachy wave perm, but I had to start off with curly. My mother permed it for me and it was very very curly. So I spent the next few days combing my hair out while watching TV (often during classes). Within 3 days my hair was not curly but beachy wavey.

So I suggest you get a wavy perm, and comb your hair out for the next few days until you're happy with it.

i want to impress a girl studying in my class i luv her....so what should i do to express my feelings infront of her so that she accepts me and we should have a good relationship....but i feel scared that if she rejects me then....
i luv her so much i could do anything for her ....

*i hve ask many questions on this website but
never got an answer...plz help me this time.

Looks like you need some help on charming girls. Okay I'm a girl so here goes:

*Stare at her with a blank look
*Try to smile when she looks at you
*When she makes a small movement, copy her (shuffle, touch ear, flick hair, scratch hair etc)
*Give her little gifts every now and then (necklace... bracelet... )
*Repeatedly tell her that you like her as a friend, then after the 10th time, take the 'as a friend' part out (spread it over a couple of days)



WHAT GIRLS LOOK FOR (SIGNS):
*The copying movement mentioned above
*A slight enlargment of the pupil when she looks into your eyes
*Blushing




Really hope this helps you and good luck =]

I bite my nails all the time.
Not enough to make them bleed, I stop when they start to hurt.
I don't even know that I'm doing it.

I tried keeping nail polish on at all times on my nails, but I've gotten used to the taste of nail polish and even end up scraping off the nail polish with my teeth, which is even work cause I end up swallowing nail polish.

I figure any type of thing that makes my nails taste bad I will get used to, so you do you have any other ideas for stopping me from biting my nails?

What my old teacher did to some kid who kept on biting her nails are as follows:

Coat of Chalk
Gloves
Finger Puppets
Condoms (to some of the older kids lol)
Gave them chewing gum
Bribed them (if you let your nails grow for a week without biting them, you get something. Always used to be candy)
FRENCH MANICURE WITH CLEAR GLOSS COAT (looks really good and girls never wanted to ruin them. Plus, the gloss coat is really hard to bite off)


Hope this help? =]

Alright..I know that a lot of you guys probably already helped out a person whose been through this crises but my case is a bit different...

So this boy..lets call him Sam

well Sam is not so social like everyone else. Me and him would talk online for days and days and never get bored of each other. And we know each other because we go to the same church and we've been best buddies ever since...well ever since i got a boy friend.(i'm now single) But while i had this boyfriend i guess i stopped signing on and talking as much to Sam. And when me and this stupid boy broke up i was a horrible person and realized that...dang i just completely ignored my best friend cause i was so caught up with this boy friend i had. But the thing is you guys must be thinking... well DUH he liked you and you just probably lead him on and now his pissed off(or something along the lines of that and if your not thinking that.my bad :P)

BUT we would both say to each other that were like brother and sister relationship. so it never really crossed my mind that he liked me. And maybe he did or maybe he didn't... My preacher thinks that there is that possibility that he has and he got pissed when i got a boyfriend..but i highly doubt it.I've said i'm sorry for what i've done. And for ignoring him while i had a boyfriend he said he didn't care and he didn't notice...



Yet still he doesn't talk to me as much..rarely...say hey..

He's not flirtatious...so he's not like Moving on to find another girl to flirt with.

BUT

WHAT DO I DO???
do i ignore him?

Do i stop trying?

How do i get him back??????

Seems like what I've been through quite a lot of times, so I guess my advice will help sort of... I hope. Okay here goes:

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
Continue to do what you did before you met the boyfriend. Just do your side of the 'play' without Sam. So if you guys used to go online at about 4:30pm and go off at 9:00pm, start doing that routine again, even if Sam isn't responding. At church, talk to him, smile at him, use a apologetic look when you look at him.


HOW YOU CAN GET HIM BACK:
Have a little chat, just the two of you. Even if you'll have to grab him by his T-shirt and drag. Get you two some private space and tell him, straight out, what you feel and what you want/need (preferably him). Remind him of how the old days were, including the toddler days and childhood days. Make him remember that you're always there for him, and make sure you still are!!!


I really hope this helps, because this was what I did... =]

so ive had my period for about 2 and half years now, and i still dont know how to put a tampon in. its really embaressing too because when i go away to camp [Im on the swim team at my camp] and i get my period, its embaressing to tell my friends/the coach that i cant swim because of it. should i know how to by now? its been 2 years! the thing is. i did tried this one time in 7th grade, my friends pool party which i was so excited to go to and wear my new bikini and then i got my period and im like okay putting a tampon in cant be that bad. omg it is. it hurtsss like idk why it bothers me. i just dont like that feeling of sticking something up me. why am i so weirdd haha. and i try again every now and then, but no luck. as soon as i try and put it in, even just trying to stick a finger in there, i flinch. like i just cant do it. what should i do??? my mom doesnt know what to tell me either, im worried. please help me

Have you tried the lubricant that is supposed to help the tampon slip in? if you havn't, then it's rather obvious why it hurts.

If you have been using lubricants, or if you've tried and it doesn't help at all. I suggest you ask a female adult (mom) or a female friend. Even seek the advice of a doctor.


Hope it helps

okk, i am indian and i am a teenager, and i am 14 years old. My parents are lyk really strick, now its summer holidays and my friend is having a party today,so i asked them if i could go and they said no! IT always lyk this they dont let me hang out with my friends, and i am a teenager and i want to hang out with my frinds. THey believe that having friends is a bad thing and they are going to ruin my life or something. And they dont even know my frinds they are really nice and stuff. But i tried explaining to them and they said no u have to follow our indian culture and blah blah. and i was lyk how i culture realated to hanging out with my friends. I feel trapped they dont let me see my frinds or even go to the movies with them. So what do i do to let them go a little easy on me? plz help

My parents are not as strict as yours, but I can already know how you're feeling. I'm not allowed out with friends unless there's 3 or more. I'm not allowed to go out with guys either.

What I would do (and have done), is to get them together, sit down, and have a long talk. Don't worry about expressing your true feelings, it sometimes helps.

Tell them that you are a teenager, and they should be more aware of what you want, and that you are aware of the dangers and risks of going out without parents (make sure you do!). Stuff like that will make parents believe that you are independent, and you want a change.

Try inviting your friends around to your house, surely your parents wouldn't mind because it is their house and they can keep an eye on you to see if you're safe. Introduce your friends to your parents, and soon you're parents will learn to trust your friends.


I hope this will help you =]

Ok So, I'm 15 and my friend is 14. There's this guy that is 22 and she realy likes him. We talked the other night and she told me a whole bunch of things that really concerns me. First, This 22 year old guy that she likes has a girlfriend, and she is also one of my friends. Second, everytime him and her hug, he grabs her boob. She told me that one time, when they were walking around they started making out and it turned into more than just a makeout. He actually pulled down her shorts and underwear and fingered her. I can't believe she let him. I just don't want his girlfriend to get hurt, and I dont know what to tell my friend. Ive tried to talk to her but maybe im not saying the right things. Thanks for your help

Make sure she knows that you are concerned about her; whether it be safety, social-wise or mental-wise. Also, make sure she knows all the facts, the girlfriend, and the fact that the girlfriend is YOUR friend. Make sure you tell her that you arn't very comfortable with it, and that you feel that it isn't right. If she really sees you as a friend, she'll treasure your thoughts and concerns and think about it.

But in the end, it's down to her. If she is eventually hurt, make sure you're there to support her all the way.

Hope it helps =]
