14/f-uhm, well i have longish brown hair, [boob-length] & i recently got my hair cut about a month ago. it used to be like belly button length. back when my hair was longer, i started to notice that it was like, falling out. not in like huge clumps, but i was suddenly aware of like stray hairs on my shoulder & pillow & stuff.
*i know that you lose like 100 hairs a day* but like i never noticed it this much before. now it seems to be getting worse. when i take my hair out of a ponytail,i lose like 6 strands each time. when my hairs wet, there seem to be strands that are mcuh longer than the others, but it just turns out that they're no longer like attached to my scalp or whatver. i talked to my doctor, but she didn't put much thought into it. i know it could be a thyroid problem; but my hairdresser says i'm too young for that. does anyone have advice to make it stop or at least slow down?! thanks mucho! ♥
My hair has done this before. It's possible your shampoo is drying your hair out, if you've recently had a switch. Or since it's summer if your not brushing it as much as you were during the school year, that could cause the falling out as well. Or if you hot iron, or curling iron your hair alot. Your hairdresser should be able to tell you if parts of your hair are dead and just need to be cut. But you said you just got a hair cut a month ago. If your doctor doesn't think much of it then I wouldn't worry to much. Just keep an eye on it. And brush your hair regularly. Also in the shower scrub really hard with shampoo and get all the dead hairs then. Chlorine in the pools can kill your hair quickly as well so just watch that. If your drinking lots of water, that not only helps your skin but it sometimes helps your hair! So good luck! :)

okay, so there is this girl who claims to be one of my good friends, you see she has been talking to my ex boyfriend and he brought up to her about going out. He recently has broken up with the girl he went out with before and after me, and i had been moving on ward and started to become interested in someone who happened to be his friend(i had no idea)Well he heard about this and imed me asking how i knew him, then later if we hooked up. I think him asking my friend out was because he was jelious of the fact i like his friend. Anywho, the girl calls me and tells me this and she goes oh how about i date him to get back at him for what he did to you (he took my virginity and completely manipulated me) I said i suppose. But i think she is just doing it because she has feelings for him, she always has even when we were dating. And we were talking and somehow sex got brought up and she asked if i would be upset with her, i told her i would be upset because she says she is my friend and she knows what he did to me. I think she has feelings for him, what do you think? Should i just cut them both out of my life?
I had a similar situation. It does sound like your friend has feelings for your ex boyfriend. You can't control that but your aloud to be hurt by that. It also sounds like your ex boyfriend is doing this because he's jealous. If your friend is really your friend she will listen to you, and not have sex with him. If she does date him, and have sex with him and he breaks her heart you will know that you warned her. But don't say I told you so, just be there for her, like she was there for you (I think?). It's out of your control now, you warned her. If she is dating him, you don't need to be buddy buddy with her. You are aloud to ignore them both for a while. However it really doesn't sound like if they date it will last very long. So just remember you warned her and she knows what he did to you! Good luck! :)

I've been dating this guy for 11 months. I want to get rid of him I can't stand him anymore. The only problem is every time i go to break up with him he cries and shit. I never end of breaking it off because he gets all suicidal. How can i break up with him????
I know how you feel. What I did in my situation I told him "I don't want to date you" and then he got upset,called, texted, but I just ignored them. Eventually he will get over it. If you ignore him. Don't be afraid to be tough and mean. Make it clear, and then just ignore if he leaves you text messages, or calls. But like I said he will learn that you not there anymore and you aren't going to get back with him. If he tells you he's suicidal, you can tell someone. His parents, your parents, siblings, an adult. Explain the situation. He needs help if he's saying he's going to kill himself. It's not your fault, obviously he has deeper problems. Good luck! :)

Okay there's a boy that i really like and he likes me too. I'm a 13/f btw.
It's just we're not going out for a very specific and good reason but we'd still like to spend time alone with each other. The problem is, he's my sister's best friend and so my sister doesn't want him ever going out with me. He's also a year older than me but that doesn't matter. This might get long just a warning. So my sister doesn't know that he likes me cause he doesn't want anything happening. So we kinda have a secret thing goin on. And so we were planning to go see a movie with each other but not let me sister know but i'm kinda nervous about going. When we plan stuff we usually text each other and do it so my sister doesn't know cause i wouldn't let my sister check my phone. And when i text him im carefree and i say anything i wanna say. But in person, i get really tangled up and im really shy and i don't know what to say or do. I feel as if i say something weird he'll think im stupid so i don't say anything. But that's when my sister is around. So if i can't even talk when my sister is around, i don't know what i'll do when we go watch the movie. I'm not sure if it's gonna be a date or whatnot but yeah. I want to let go but it's kinda hard. and i get nervous. So, any ideas of what to do? Please be specific, don't say anything like, just be yourself or say anything on your mind. I need specific answers please. And i would do like a double date thing but i don't really think he wants to. Thanks in advance.
I know how you feel, actually thousands of girls no how you feel!:) Think of it this way, if he likes you despite how you act when your sister is around, he must not care that your shy. The movies is a great date, because you dont have to do much talking, and you get to spend time together. Just breathe, sounds silly but it works. Just think before you say something. As far as your sister goes, she will find out. No matter how great of a secret keeper you are she will know. So I'm not telling you to tell her, but just know that she will find out someday. If it comes right tell her, it's your life not hers, and if the guy you like likes you enough then he will stand up for you. She will get over it, she's your sister. As far as letting go, that will come. The more you hang out with him the more comfortable you will be. Good luck! :)

Ok it sounds to me like your friends are branching out, which means they are going in a different direction. Thats normal, Kayla and Jenna are probably trying to meet new people, and have new adventures. I'm sure it's very hard for all of you being deaf. It sounds like Jenna wants to make new friends, and have a successful life, and you want to do that to only you don't have the money to go to college. Thats ok, lots of people don't go to college. But your trying to hold on to Jenna and you don't want to loose her as a friend. You have a right to be honest with her, but you need to let her go as well. You've tried to tell her how you feel, thats all you can do. Don't keep emailing her, or talking to her about how you are hurt, just give her space. Thats the best thing you can do is give her space. Kayla, Jenna, and you have been friends for a very long time and it's ok that you are spreading out a little. When Jenna is done college, she is going to want to still be friends with you, and she will have more time to spend with you. College can be a very stressful thing. You need to give her space, and if she invites you into her world, then go (if she calls you, answer). Don't hold gruges against her, that will make your friendship weaker. Everyday is a new day. Your friendship isn't ending, and it doesn't sound like it's close to being over. I understaned your feelings are hurt, but it sounds like you've tried to tell her. Thats all you can do, so give her space. Good luck! :)

Lately I've been stressing over everything in my life and its getting to the point where I'm starting to get depressed more often and moody. I'm stressing over trying to get into a top highschool where only a few get chosen......stressing over this boy who has a girlfriend but I just can't seem to get him out of my head no matter I do he's all I think about....stressing over issues in my home I feel like I can't go to anyone for help because I feel like they get bothered with my problems. I don't know what to do how do I handle my issues normally without depression or mood swings or stress?
I know how you feel, it's completely normal. I don't know if you see a therapist or you feel comfortable talking to your parents, but I do recommend a therapist. I don't think you have issues or anything, it's just really nice to talk to someone and talk through your problems. Also look at the foods and things your eating. It's possible that your diet has something to do with the change in your mood. More sugary foods make you tired, and irriated. I don't know how active you are but exercise is a garentee help. If you go for a walk each day outside your stress will decrease! But I do think you should see a therapist, it's good to have someone to talk about all these things with and they won't judge you. If you don't feel comfortable talking to a therapist, I know this is werid but I'm always avalible to just listen. So just email me if you need someone! :) Good luck! :)

how old do you have to be to work at a horse stable usually. i know it probably differs depending on the stable.
Yes it does differ depending on the stables, but usually during the year it's 18 or older. But lots of stables hirer 15 and up for the summer, and sometimes stables have some jobs that you can do. So if you want to work at a horse stable, put your name out there, so they know your avalible. It's going to be hott, and a lot of work. But you would get to be around horses, and learn about barn matience. Also when horse stables, if you start out working at a young age, it's easy to get promoted when your older! :) Good luck!

Is highschool scary? What's it like? What should I expect?
No you shouldn't be afraid. High school can be a scary place but if you find the right friends, and steer clear of drama, it can be really fun. In highschool there are lots of different people, so it's kind of cool because you can match up with people you have things in common with. You should expect to be pressured into lots of things (partying,drugs,smoking,cheating) but if you hold your head up high it should work out just fine. Stay true to yourself. Focus on schoolwork, because high school counts. Good luck!:) Remember it's not all that scary!

What advise would I give to my sister in law and to my brother? (I'm older than him)
How if they tell me that they want to be separated? and I don't want them to be separated. What would I tell them? Their both 33 years old. We are from the Philippines.
You could pull aside your brother or your sister in law (don't talk to them at the same time) and say that you really want them to stay together. Tell him/her exactally how you feel, and don't hold back. But remember no matter what you say, they are going to do what they need to do. But that doesn't mean that your word doesn't matter. It does, so you should tell them that you want them to stay together. Good luck! :)

this is going to sound really wierd, but do you know hannah montana's hair? she has like very loose curls and such and i was wondering if anyone knows how i can get them. i have REALLY thick hair and its guess you could say medium length. i have used hot rollers but they never seem to stick. thanks
I have thick hair as well, in order to get that look it's going to take a lot of time. Straighten your hair with a hot iron, and then use a big curling iron. The straigthening will make your hair a lot thinner, and easier to handle. Then get a big curling iron and curl the ends, or the entire head. The run your fingers through the curls. It will make them loose and fun. Also purchase a straightening product or shinning product from the drug store, so your hair isn't frizzy and dry. Garnier Frutis has lots of products along those lines. Also spend time looking at reviews for different straighteners and curling irons. CHI is a fabulous brand of hair straighters but they are very pricey 100-300$. The good thing about those straighters is that if it breaks they send you a brand new one, so you are garenteed a straighter for life! And it doesn't fry your hair as much as some do. Curling irons vary, in price but find one that is large, and you can make big curls with! Good luck! :)

I firmly believe that I have a mental illness. Not something serious. Just like a personality disorder. However, my parents think I'm perfectly normal...and just exaggerating. However, I'm not. But whenever I try to tell them, they shrug it off and refuse to let me go to a therapist or something. What can I do to make them listen to me? Is there some kind of online or on-the-phone service? Thank you. =]
I know how you are feeling, trust me. Don't take no for an answer. If your parents tell you, oh your fine, continue to say that you aren't and dont let them change the subject. You need to see a therapist and if your parents approve of that you don't have anything to worry about, your therapist will take care of it. It's important to talk to your parents at the right time, not when they are busy or running out the door. And it's best not to talk to them at night (usually parents are exhasted). So say you have a long car ride, that would be perfect, because they can't walk out on you. There is phone numbers you can call, however I don't know what area you live in, so I can't give you a number, they are different for each area. Also I don't know if you are in summer school, or when your school starts, but schools in NY state are required to have a school counseler. That person has been trained to help teenagers, and that might be a good person to begin talking to. Just tell that person your situation and they can talk with your parents. Tell your parents you just walk to see a therapist to have someone to talk to. Then from there you can get the help you need! Good luck!:)

Hi! It's time for senior pictures and I don't know how to get my hair. I have medium length hair, brown. My hair is going to be straighten but I'm still not sure how to get it. Please help
Well some things to think about are you want it down so it doesn't look like you have no hair, also you don't want it to much in your face, and you don't want your hair frizzy. So you could consider bobby pinning one side up, and take some frizz creme when you go to get your pictures taken. Just pour some on your hands and rub your palms together, then just run your hands through you hair! Good luck! :) Hope your pictures turn out great!

17/m. wow. so okay. I'm worried about my friend. He has a girlfriend that he met ONLINE...that lives in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY O_O. lets just say that he lives in North America and she lives in Europe...they met through a forum, I think. I just need opinions. Because I don't want him to ruin his life waiting for her. Okay, so...they knew each other for one year. she promised to move to North America next summer to live with him. they both say that they love each other o_O, they're both the same (almost) age. My question to you is....Will a chatting relationship be strong enough to make this girl move all the way from her home country? why would she though? education is like free in europe. isn't it hard to get a passport to come here...and then it's very difficult to adjust to a different culture here in America? do online relationships really work out? Would ANY DECENT PARENT allow a girl to travel like 3000 miles to see a guy whom she only saw TWO pictures of?? Without speaking to the guy first?? (NO LIE) What are your views on this?
PS: I should also mention that I talked to her before. The girl's a depressed "nobody" who never had a bf. Could it be possible that she's just seeking attention??
Sorry for asking so many questions. I'm just worried.
Thanks.
This is tough. But it sounds like the girl is seeking attention. She wants somebody to love her and compliment her, and this is her way of feeling good about herself. It's extremely hard to tell if they are going to work out or not. But like you said yourself would a girl travel all that way for one guy who she's never met before, it's not likely. And if she does, you have to wonder what her life is like where she lives? In many places around the world, life is horrible, under paying jobs, education is terrible, politics, many other things. It could also be possible this girl is trying to get a free ride to the US (or wherever). I'm not saying this is what is happening because it's hard to know for sure. But these could be possiblitys. You shouldn't support your friend in waiting for her. There are so many terrible things that could happen, and one good thing (they could stay together forever). But if your friend still wants to wait, all you can do is be there for your friend. Make it clear you don't approve, but don't break off the friendship because of this. I'm sorry this is confusing advice! But just hang in there! Good luck! :)

so the other night i was coming home late from work. i was at a stop sign and looked out my window and i saw the weirdest thing. i saw fairies floating around dancing with dwarfs and the fairies had those little boots on with the curls at the end. i told everyone about it the next day and nobody believed me. shortly after i saw them again when i was coming home from this crazy party. so i told my parents about the fairies, a big mistake, and yesterday they made me go to the doctor. they told the doctor what i said in private and then he asked to talk to me alone. he told me i had gone way too far this time and he said the fairies and dwarfs were illusions i had created because i'm always smokin and trippin. sure, i do drugs but these fairies were real, i know they were. does anybody else ever see fairies dancing around with dwarfs late at night?
Honestly I have never seen Faries, or Dwarfs. But that doesn't mean that you didn't. The sighting could be a result of drugs yes, or they could be a mental disorder, or you could have just seen them. It's probably best just to let it go, because no matter how you explain what you saw I don't think it will change your parents minds. I'm not telling you to stop the drugs, but if you really want to find out if what you saw was real or not then you could try going without drugs for a while and then see if you still see the faries and dwarfs! Good luck! :)

What is a good routine to make my abs look like hers?
=]
How long would it take?
http://teenvogue.typepad.com/beauty__beauty/images/2007/04/26/0424_britney_spears_hotagai.jpg
Well Britney Spears released her exercise plan to the media a few years ago. She said that she does 1000 crunches throughout the day. If you start each day doing 50, then mid morning another 50, then afternoon 50, then mid afternoon 50, then at night 50, you will have great abs in about 4 weeks. If you can follow this, trying increasing slowly. Also the more water you drink the faster your body can tone up. If you have a local gym, try asking them what machines to use to tone your abs. At the gym I go to there is a machine that works your abs and the results are incredible! Good luck! :)

ok so in about a week my family reunion is coming up and i'm responsible for creating games for the younger children to play part of the time. They are about 2 - 7 years old. I need game ideas that they can play like on teams for prizes i will have. I already have things like a pinata, an obstacle course, and a water balloon toss.
Can anyone think of any other game ideas that i can use?
Theres a magazine called American Girl and it's not the magazine with the products in it, its the monthly subscription one. I don't know if you have a library around but if there is you can get lots of ideas from there. But children won't want to play a game for very long so you want to be prepared to do as many things as possible. And games that take lots of directions children won't want to play.
-Hide and Go Seek
-Tag
-Tv Tag
-Soccer
-Spud
-Dancing
-Sidewalk Chalk
-Kickball
-Clue
-Go Fish
-Painting
-Crafts
Also harder to set up games you could do are:
Fishing (Where you have a wall between you and the child, and they put poles with clothing line clips over the wall and you hook prizes on)
Circus (Have balls, ribbons, stick, flags, poles. And you can tell them they are in a circus and they have to come up with an act)
Prizes are easy stickers, markers, crayons, little teddy bears, necklaces, bracelets, barbie clothes, little things, often dollar stores sell little medals.
Good luck! :)

how do you lose stomach fat?
This is the advice I give to people who want to tone there stomach, and loose stomach fat. Britney Spears (when she looked great) did 1000 crunches a day and that was her workout and she looked amazing. If you start out doing 100 crunches throughout the day (not all at once) you will see results really quickly. Then slowly increase the amount that you do. But don't do them all at once because you aren't going to want to ever do them again. It's important that you drink water (I know lame) but it really helps. The more water you drink the easier it is to loose weight or tone up. Try eating your sweets, sugars in the morning so you have the entire day to burn it off. Also I love to dance and dancing helps build solid abs and tones as well. If you don't like to drink water then you can try crystal light products. There is lemonade,teas, ect. They are 5 calories per a glass and I think they taste great! :) Good luck! :)

do they have clubbing for teeagers?
Yes they do, there called 18 and under clubs. Or teen clubs. There found in cities, touristy places, and upscale towns. They are extremely fun. But sometimes they can be sketchy, you have to be careful because if you 14 and there is an 18 year old at the same club things could be dangerous. So be sure if you go to a club that you go with a friend(s). I'm sure you know rules like don't take drinks from strangers. But it is a fun thing! :)

what class do you have to take if you want to be veterinarian,animal technitian, in college? and what college should i go?
Veterinarian school is very difficult to get into to. Try being active in 4-H or getting involved with animals. You have to have excellent grades in order to be accepted into Vet School. For high school 95 or above. Girl Scouts, Horse Back Riding are things you could get involved with to. Look at your local farms, maybe they need some after school help, and that would look good on your application. Some local colleges have programs that are called Vet Tech. It is cheaper and easier to go to a local school for a couple of years and then transfer to a pricier and bigger school. Cornell is a top Vet School and there are many around there but I recommend Cornell! Good luck! :)
