okay .. so i feel of my scooter when i was in like the 5th grade and i have a scar from that. and i cracked my head open when i was like in kindergarden. and i've just gotten another scar on my head, and other knee. so i need help getting them off. does coco butter work? is there anything that YOU have used and it works. my doctor said i could go into plastics to get the ones off my head.. but im more worried about my leggs. some one please help me!

Try Maderma. It's a cream that you rub on it every day and it really works. I don't know how old you are, but they have one for kids, too. You could buy it at Walgreens or Walmart, and I used it. It works.

have any of you or your moms had a mamagram, then had to go back to take more pictures? if so, what happened? thank you soo much!!

My mom does ALL the time. Because if they find anything, seriously it could be tiny, they're required to look at it because if they don't and it's bad, they get blamed. 99% of the time, it's absolutely nothing. It's usually just some fatty tissue or something like that. But seriously, my mom has to do that every single time, don't worry.

Not being hungry as often is normal for a healthy diet. Your stomach literally shrinks. When it's bigger, it gets less full and empty quicker, so you're hungry a lot. But when it's small, it only takes a little to fill it up, and it stays full for a long time. BUT if you're starting to get sick a lot, slow down. Losing a lot of weight really quickly is NOT good for your body, so take it slow and stay healthy.

what are some good ways for a thirteen year old to get money.

dont bother saying do chores around the house.my moms a bitch about that, it's like signing a deal with the devil

Babysitting is a great way to earn money, but don't be hurt if you don't get a job because you're only 13. If you have any elderly neighbors or family, you could offer to mow the lawn or rake the leaves for them, and if someone you know is going on vacation, see if you could get payed to collect their mail and feed the animals for them while they're gone.

I have had my nose pierced for 2 months. My school doesnt allow piercings. I went to a tattoo place to get a nose retainer the clear ring she said I cant use it because it will get stuck in my nose or some b/s like that. Would it be ok if I went ahead and got one? I will rate 5's!

Yeah, get one anyway. If you don't have anything in, the hole will eventually close up and you don't want that. Go ahead and get one, no one will notice and it will be better for your piercing.

I just went to the salon to get my hair cut and they used these really great products on me. I looked at the price and a bottle of serum was 25 dollars!! I want my hair to be silky and smooth. Are there any shampoo and conditioner products that are not that expensive and make your hair silky?

Get Garnier Fructis sleek and shine. They have a syrum that you apply to your hair and it works SO amazingly well, I use it every day. They also have a complete line of shampoo and conditioner, but the only one I've tried is the syrum. You'll have to look closely because Garnier Fructis has lots of different lines...be sure to get sleek and shine. It makes your hair incredibly soft and shiny. Good luck! Oh, and I got mine on sale at walgreens for 2.99 but it's usually 6.99 or so. But it lasts you awhile, the syrum I mean.

how long does your hair need to be to start flipping out and does evryones hair flip out when iit gets long or stay straight?

It doesn't have to be a certain length for it to flip out, mine did it when it was at my chin. Get some choppy layers and I suggest buying a flat iron, clamp small pieces of your hair and bend it up, and it works. Or you could use a curling iron, but those burn you VERY easily so be careful. And buy a round hair brush to use when you blowdry your hair.

ok this guy likes me (two of my friends told me) and i sorta like him back but i dont know if its a joke does anyone know what i should do?? thanks!!

i rate 5's

I would say find out from one of his friends if it's true or not. That's the best source. Or you could just tell him how you feel and if he doesn't like you back, he's not worth it.

I don't drink wine often, but I like to use it in my cooking. I have just been using 'cooking white wine' from the grocery store. But I would like to buy a good bottle of good wine to use instead. How long will an open bottle of wine last in my refridgerator?

It should last a long time if you keep it in the back of your fridge. DON'T keep it in the door. It's the warmest place in your refridgerator and it's really not good for wine. Keep the cork in it, and swirl it around every now and then, and it should last a few months.

I LOVE these shoes! But where can I get these or some like these?

http://i17.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/cc/a7/db_1_b.JPG

If you have a Cato around you, they have tons of shoes like that. If not, I've seen them at Payless, and cheaper ones at Walmart. And they're inexpensive, too. Good luck!

okay so i have to wake up at 6 tomorrow for school because my bus comes around 630.. well what are some good suggestions so that i wont be so sleepy in the morning.. like should i eat an apple before i go to school to keep me up?

Go to bed a little bit early, and in the morning, take a shower and eat something like a granola bar, or something good for you. Get up earlier than you need to because if you only have twenty minutes to get ready, you're going to be rushing around and even more tired. Give yourself time to wake up! Hope that helps...good luck.

Is in normal for a car to leak water after the air conditioner has been used?

Water is completely fine, it's just condensation. But if the liquid is black or shiny, have that checked out. Otherwise, all cars do it!

Ok, so my parent's have been devorced for a long time and my dad is re-married. my mom has hit rock bottom, and now I have to tell an investigator ware I want to live. I am stuck in the middle, both parents think I wana live with them but I really havent decided. please help me! I'll rate 5's for none stupid awnsers.

girl 13.

Well, obviously it should be completely your choice. I think you should live where you are the most comfortable, and where you simply like it the best. Maybe where you DON'T live you could visit on weekends...or like a week every other month, that way both parents get their turn. Do you like your dad's new wife? Does your mom need you around? Remember, your dad has already met someone new and he could have another family soon...your mom is alone. Not meaning to make you feel bad, but that's what I'd consider.

what are some good scary movies?

One of my favorites is called "Dead End", and it's about a family that is on this one incredibly long road while taking a vacation, and lots of freaky stuff happens. It's really good, but it has a LOT of cursing in it. I mean a lot.
Another good one is "White Noise"...it's hard to explain what that one is about, it's about a man that tries to communicate with the dead.
And of course "The Ring" and "The Ring 2" are both incredibly good...Um...that's all I can really think of. Hope that helps!

whats a good way to get your hair wavy without it being all hard from like scrunch spray?? I tried braiding it after a shower but then its WICKED wavy and REALLY poofy. I just want soft ways. Anything i can do to make it this way? thanks!

You could get some of those bendable curlers, and wrap them loosely around your hair until it's dry, and then take them out and spray them with a little bit of spray. or you could sleep in them like I do. Or use a curling iron on it when it's dry, and put the curling iron at an angle, and wrap it very loosely for just a few seconds. Let it go and if it's not as wavy as you want, wrap it around your finger!
Oh, if you put your hair in curlers, make sure your hair is wet when you do it. Good luck!

My mom says I may have mono! What is mono and how can i cure it?! I am going to the doctor's today! And i'm a singer and I have aperformance next week do u think i will be able to perform by then or not??

No, you won't. It's very catching and if you have it, it can take months to get over it. You can't get around people because they'll catch it, it's like a REALLY heavy cold, and you can't get up and walk around because you're so weak. But there's no way to tell you have it unless you see a doctor.

I have always heard that if your wrapper of a Tootsie Roll Pop has the indian shooting a star you can send it in to get a free Tootsie Pop. Is this actually true, and if so who do you send it to?

Yes, I've heard all you have to do is take it to the place you bought it and they'll give you a free one. And actually, it's not THAT common.
