(14.f) Sorry if its long.
Okay well,I noticed that I sweat sometimes and then it starts to stink now..I asked my parents for deodorant,but they said it's "bad" because it covers your armpit and you can't sweat,etc.etc. I want to use deodorant 'cause I'm worried about school.It's just that they won't let me! They also say like if you use it, then you have to use it more and more and then you might get cancer or whatever at your armpit.What can I do? How do I make them know that I need it? Even my mom uses it sometimes, but then shes like, see even I don't use it alot!
Then I have another issue about my body hair on my arm and my leg.As you see, for PE,I usually have to wear capris or sweat pants, but my gym teacher says I should wear shorts.Well I mean I want to wear shorts on like hot days.But instead I wear capris.But now if I wear capris, you can then see my leg hair.AHEM,once again, I cant shave,wax,or use those lotion/spray to remove my hair!A lot of my classmates don't have hair and they can wear shorts without looking bad.I also have some on my arm.Well its better then my leg.Its much more skinnier, but now my leg hair is more thicker.Well I don't want to shave anyways..I heard waxing hurts..I wanna use that lotion/spray thing.But Since I have bad skin(dry, etc.), my parents say like,"what are you thinking?!?you know you have bad skin,if you do use it then don't tell me when its red or whatever.I won't take you to the doctor, and then starts giving me a lecture.Well none of my parents or aunts have body hair,I'm like the only one. Except my dad has some.BUT NOT A LOT LIKE ME.Well he's a guy so I don't think they should be so caring about it anyways.Well..I'm a girl so I care..Is there any way?!?!?!?!? I really wanna get rid of the hairs on my leg for sure!!
ANY ADVICE, I WOULD APPRICIATE!!! Please help.. Thankss! (link)
Tell your parents that you need a razor (or even an electric shaver) and tell them "Don't be afraid, mom/dad, razors can't cause cancer. They will have to get you one. :)

im not sure this is in the right category but i need to know. Okay so my vagina is not very tight at all..like its not extremely loose but its deff. not tight. I want it to be tighter no guys like loose girls. The only thing that i can think of that would effect me being loose is..i masterbate somewhat,i only go to the bathroom 2-3 times a day (i always have and im used to it),im tall and thin but i dont think that would make a difference. Ive also never had sexual intercourse ever! So can anyone tell me how to get it tighter pleasseee thankyou so much (link)
I have heard that jogging helps :)


I recently bought a large potted plant.
The problem is with my cat. He now feels
that this plant is a good place to go potty.

He is an indoor cat and he has a litter box he
has used for years. Since I got the plant though,
he would much rather use it!

He is slinging dirt all over the place and
I am sure his digging in there isn't helping
my new plant.

Any suggestions on how to get him back
into the litter box without having to
get rid of my plant? (link)
DON'T DO THAT DIRT OR WATER-BOTTLE CRAP. WRONG.
I had this exact same problem with my cat and the answer is simple. All you have to do is make it not want to go into the plant. How? Get some alluminum foil. Place sheets of it around the base of the plant,then tuck the edges into the pot so the kitty can't see it before he/she jumps in. As soon as it jumps in the pot, the tin-foil will crackle, and send the cat into a state of shock, making it never want to jump into that darn plant again! Do this for about a week or until he/she stops jumping into the plant. I know it sounds weird but it is both hilarious and helpful. To this day, my cat has not jumped into our huge potted plant since the tin foil was put in. Good Luck! :p


Okay so Im a female and Im also 15 and I have a girlfriend that is 15 also. Our one month is on monday. I dont know what I should get her. =/ I know she loves the color pink but she is kinda manly[butch]. If you know what they means. So any ideas on what I should get her? Im thinking about a ring or something but I dont know if she would wear it and I dont know if it would fit if I get a ring because Im not sure about what size she wears. Please help.

-Thanks.=] (link)
The best gift in the whole world. A studded silver bellt :P


ugh, i'm trying to teach myself guitar and it's really frustrating. i'm trying to figure out which fingers to use when i'm plucking the strings -(violin player, sorry) i've been only using my thumb and i know that that's worng. help?! (link)
Start very simple. Use easy power chords. I will tell you how. Basically place your index finger on any fret and your thrid finger 2 frets past that and one string down.
experiment with that all over theguitar and you can even come up with songs! thats what i do :p


okay so iam a 16/f and i have alot of problems. and mostly its because of my bad attitude. like at home whenever i don't get what i want or if my parents tell me to do something i get mad. and i have anger problems as well. and i don't know what to do about that. and also at school im always getting made fun of. and whenever i make friends i always end up losing them i don't know why they just get turned off.. and even when i go out with my parents people from my school and they start screaming my name. and my parents always think that they do that because of my bad attitude or because i did something to them. and im so sick of it. and sometimes i wish i could just die. i fel like i don't belong here. what should i do? (link)
I am 15/m- just for reference.
I used to feel the same way- like i didn't fit in and i was losing friends for no reason- stuff like that. all you have to do is try to put yourself into other peoples shoes. like if your friend is asking you to stop bugging them or something, then you could "put yourself in their shoes" and ask - what did i do wrong. usually, this can help you save alot of friendships. and about the anger problem. Just try to make a mental note that whenever you get mad, you can think of something funny, and just start laughing. it really works - it helps lighten the mood alot. just say to yourself "Would I rather be upset and make everyone unhappy? or would it be better to try and be happy? remember- feelings are contagious. whether they are bad or good :p
