Does anyone have any good styling tips on how to put loose curls in your hair? please help :] (link)
| |
Hot curlers work. Use the big curlers for loose curls, and leave them in for about 20 minutes. Spray it with strong-hold hairspray as soon as you take it down, and finger through it - don't brush it. Good luck.

14/f
So there's this older guy who I've liked since the very first day of school. I just met him this year. And he keeps looking & poking fun at me and crap, so I'm 90% sure he likes me too. But it's getting really awkward..like one day we'll totally zone out in each other's eyes and then the next day I'll be totally embarassed to face him again because of it.
so now I want to stop liking him, because the awkwardness is driving me crazy and I'm not 100% sure if I'm ready for a bf (I could be ready, but i'm not COMPLETELY assured yet). I do everything to take my mind off him, whether it's pretending i dont know he exists in class or going out with friends to distract me. But everytime I think I'm over him he'll do something super cute and I'll fall head over heels for him again, then soon after another awkward lovey moment comes again and the cycle repeats. It's tiring but exhilerating at the same time. And even though I try to stop liking him, I also have a feeling that I really don't ever want to stop.
so i guess..um, what should i do? i need ANY advice at all, i'm at a loss. thankyou. (link)

It depends on how much older. If he's not that much older I'd just go for him. He likes you, or at least he's acting like it. You won't get over him until you try & are either rejected or accepted. Worse case scenario.. you're still single, big deal! Go for it! :)

lies, she is now 3months old, and has been in a routine for a month now and sleeps through the night, yes babys r ment to sleep alot, and well she didnt sleep at all just bot only sleeping for 15mins at a time, so maybe u shouldnt reply and give advice (link)
| |
Excuse me I have three children, and I let THEM pick their routine because that is how nature intended it. When they are 6 months old they are finally into MY schedule but kids don't WORK like that! They aren't MEANT to be like robots. You have to have flexibility. And if you can't deal with a 1 month old don't start on me.. like I said, I have three children.

Hi im 16/f and I am kinda looking for a cute nickname to call my bf.
I thought about...
Dear
Darling
Honey (hun)
Sweetheart
Love
Sexy
Cutie
all sorts of cheesy nicknames and etc...
but none of those are really... bit not him i guess or i dont like those that much so what can I use? (link)
| |
Hun is good. Honey is not.. it's like an old people name, just like darling. Cutie is kiddish.. Sexy is nice, Love is not. Good luck.
|
i was just wondering if anyone could help me, how do i get my 1month old gil into a routine? how do i start it off? is she to young to get her into one?
any help would be great
thanks (link)
| |
1 months old are on their own schedule. Until babies are about 5 or 6 months, no schedule is needed. They cry, you feed them and change them. Then you put them to sleep. A 1 month old sleeps so much.. what are you trying to get her on a schedule for? I don't understand, sorry.

my 15 month old son keeps bittind me and wont stop. ive tried rubbing his gums and give him meds to help with the teeth pain. but everytime i smack him when he bits and say no he just laughs at me and does it again. how can i get him to stop? (link)
| |
Bite him back. Not so hard that it leaves a bruise or draws blood.. just hard enough to where he knows what it feels like. That stopped my oldest two kids dead in their tracks. He knows better!
|
my whole life my parents were hardly ever on my case about anything. Now im 18 and im trying to get out of the house more. And they dont like it they say im never home to do anything. I work retail 35-40 hours a week and the expect me to come home after work and clean the house & do a million loads of laundry. My mom has a job and she doesnt do much at her job except sit around. But she doesnt come home and clean up anything because she believes that since she works she doesnt have to clean.
i have 2 siblings that are old enough to do luandry and they havent touched the washer or dryer since we moved a year ago.
i bought myself a tracfone with my money and my dad told me i dont deserve it.
i started seeing this guy and my mom tells me that im not aloud to touch him, kiss him, be out late with him, go back to his place. BUt before i turned 18 i was aloud out with every guy that i wanted to be out with.
I feel that im old enough to make my own decisions but my parents arent making life any easier for me. Im so sick of this crap.
please give me some great advice. (link)

Unless you are paying the rent, I think you should pitch in with laundry, dishes, trash, etc. Your mom pays the bills: electric, water, rent, stuff like that. Therefore she doesn't have to do the chores you and the other kids do. Who cooks dinner? I think whoever cooks dinner should be excused from doing dishes that night. Suggest making a chore chart, seriously. It's kind of an immature thing but sounds like nobody else is pitching in.
The guy you're dating.. you can do whatever you want with him as long as she's not around. Just don't sleep with him.. you don't want to get pregnant, do you? Talk about chores.. you'll have hella chores if you have a baby.
Try to be mature about everything.. talk to your mom about your feelings. Tell her you work a lot and are tired. Sympathize with her, about how you know SHE is tired and SHE works hard.. but SO DO YOU.. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Relate with your mom as much as possible and it'll open more doors. Hope this helps..

Hi,
I am a home daycare provider. I have been taking care of a 2 year old, Mikey, for almost 2 years now. I NEVER call in sick, I am very dependable. The only time in almost 2 years I have EVER called in is when I had to be hospitalized for 3 days. And even then, I got a back-up sitter so the parents didn't have to miss work. I am cheap too. $100 a week for a 2 year old is unheard of! I am very loyal and loving to all of my daycare kids. I have grown very attached to Mikey, I love him as if he were my own.
I am a very passive person. I let people walk all over me and I know it. I never say what's on my mind, in fear that I will lose the kids or cause an argument. But in this case, I have had it!
I have my own child, who is very sick right now. He needed to see a doctor yesterday. I understand that being a daycare provider means that you have to be dependable, and I am. I put the daycare kids first and waited to take my kid to the doctor until all the other kids were gone to take him to after hours care.
I discovered that my son has strep throat and an ear infection. Strep is very contagious!
Trying to do the right thing, I called all the parents and told them that my son had strep. Being that all the kids were here yesterday anyway, they were probably already exposed. I told the parents that their children are more than welcome to attend daycare, but I just wanted to make the parents aware that my son does have strep. I made it abundantly clear that it was THEIR choice whether they wanted to bring their child to daycare or not.
According to my contract, I am to be paid whether the child attends daycare or not unless I have 2 weeks notice. If I call in sick and cannot provide care for their child, then they do not have to pay.
Mikey's mom called this morning, FREAKING out on me. She says that she cannot find another sitter on such short notice, and if Mikey doesn't come today then she isn't paying me...blah blah. She totally made me feel like I was screwing her and leaving her optionless. I explained AGAIN that it was HER choice to bring Mikey or not to bring Mikey, that I was open and already had other children there. She rudely said she would call me back and hung up on me.
She calls back and rudely says she has absolutely nobody to watch Mikey so she is gonna stay home with him. Before I could even say OK or I am sorry, she hung up on me again!
At this point, my blood is boiling. She has no right to get an attitude with me or to hang up on me. I have always given her child love and I have always respected her. I do not deserve to be treated this way.
But being the passive one, I let it go. Then I saw that I had a voice mail. I checked the message and it was her. Again, she is saying I don't know what to do....this is ridiculous....If Mikey doesn't come I am not paying you, I will not pay for 2 sitters...Blah blah...then rudely slams down the phone.
First of all, if the measley $20 is an issue, all she had to do was talk to me about it. In the contract, I am entitled to it. But I am such a push over that I probably would have waived it because I felt bad.
Secondly, I never told her Mikey could not come. I made that very clear more than once that this was her choice.
So my question is, how do I handle this? I am so angry with her that I wanna scream. How dare you talk to me like that and then hang up on me? I would never do that to her and I don't deserve that. Should I offer to waive the $20? I would have anyway. Should I put her in her place and tell her how I feel or just let it go?
I am really upset about this! I love Mikey and want to continue caring for him, but I know this is going to turn into an arguement if I bring it up.
What would you do???

Like you, I'm also very passive. Not so much anymore, but I was for the longest time. People will RUN ALL OVER YOU if you let them. So do not let her run all over you. Tell her you understand her frustration.. don't minimize the issue by any means.. I know how hard it is to find a sitter at the last minute, and I know how expensive staying home from work is. But let her know that even though she felt that way, it is NOT okay for her to disrespect you. Be as professional as you possibly can, and let her know she has options. She does not HAVE to come to you for child care. If she wants to find someone else, let her. I know you love the kids.. I mean, I love all the kids I care for.. but you have to be a good example to the kids and stand up for what's right. Why don't you waive half of the $20? That would be a good compromise, I think.

This may be a bit long. Bear with me.
There have been quite a few times my boyfriend and I have had unprotected sex. Well my period is usually like clockwork and right now I'm 10 days late.
Well when I was, I think, 5 days late I went to the doctor and had a pregnancy test done. It was negative. The doctor did say the tests weren't 100% accurate, so that didn't help me out at all.
Well now, I'm 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test last night (The Clearblue Easy Digital Pregnancy Test) and it came back Not Pregnant. I'm still not sure if this thing is right though. Friends of mine said, even though they were like 8 weeks along, tests would still show them as not pregnant. Has anyone else had this happen before?
Lately, I've been having these dull pains in my stomach lately, and sometimes they're really sharp. (Not like cramps at all). I've also been having a lot of discharge (sorry if that's TMI). I actually thought my period had shown up one morning but wasn't the case. My boobs are also sore, especially around the outside and I keep burping a lot (even though I only drink water). My appetite has increased greatly, but I always feel nauseous after I eat. It's strange. I'm not sure what's going on.
Could someone please help me?
Also, when is the best time to take a pregnancy test?
Thanks.

The best time to take a pregnancy test is first thing in the morning. I suggest you stop having unprotected sex - the discharge could be from an STD, which is something you can get if you don't use protection. Do you *want* a kid? Are you *trying* to get pregnant? Do you *think* he's going to stick around? Sorry to be so rude but seriously if you're not ready for a kid, you need to use some type of protection.

Hi,what determines the sex of the baby? Is it anything about the parents or how old/young the parents are?
Thanks (link)
| |
The age of the parents have nothing to do with it. A lot of teen moms I know have boys, while I was a teen mom and have three girls. Honestly it's the luck of the draw if you ask me.

Ive been having a cramp like feeling for about a week now. My boobs hurt off and on, My lower back hurts all the time. and after i eat i get a sick feeling and im having lots of dieriah. Ive had a loss of appetite am i pregnant? (link)
| |
It is a good possibility, especially if you've had unprotected sex recently. If you have not missed a period yet, wait until it's missed and then take a pregnancy test. Make sure you do it first thing in the morning so you will get the most accurate results. As the day wears on, the results get less accurate.

i was wondering if anyone knows any good effective fat burners that will work in a short amount of time...thanks (link)
| |
Cylaris.. it's at Wal-Mart for like $20. It works REALLY well. Also I mix those with energy drinks & burn lots of calories because of how much I run around and do things... but you shouldn't do that unless you're 18!
|
Today I was searching on my boyfriend's video playlist, and I discovered about 4, maybe 5 pornographic videos...I confronted him about it, and he broke down, saying he had forgotten about them, and that they had been there before we started dating...I think believe him...but I'm still not sure what to think...any thoughts?
Thank you... (link)
| |
Even if they are from before you started dating ... he's going to continue looking at them. Porn is addicting.. for almost everyone. If he liked it then he likes it now.. Sorry! :(

Ok, so my friend dyed her hair red and someone told me that a couple of her other 'friends' were making fun of her. I'm really mad and I want to say something to her about it, but I don't want her getting mad at me so she thinks I'm rubbing it in her face and I don't want to make her upset because sometimes things like that are better left unsaid. But I don't want her getting mad at me if she finds out that I knew about it the whole time.
Also one of her other friend said some pretty mean things about her behind her back to me because she was mad at her. I'm really jealous of this one friend because I think that she favors her. I really want to tell her so they can get mad, but thats not the right thing to do. What should I do? Thanks! (link)
| |
Stay out of all of it. Believe me. I've been there, done that. It will come back to bite you in your behind. Stay out of it all..

i really really like this boy named james i cant stop thinking about him its just i know he will never be interested in an ugly girl like me. and all my friends know i fancy him and they wind me up. ii dont know what 2 do cos i really really like him but i know he wont be interested in me :( can you please help me :( (link)

First of all, nobody will like you until you LIKE YOURSELF! :) Start off by making a list of TEN things you love about yourself. Seriously, it helps. Don't be dumb about it, really get into it. You don't have to ever show anyone. Use adjectives to describe yourself.. smart, intelligent, beautiful.. even if you don't feel that way, you will eventually if you keep telling yourself that you are __(beautiful, smart, etc)__!
The worst that could happen is he WILL NOT be interested in you. Big deal, right? Not the end of the world at all. So make a move.. just try talking to him. Small talk at first. Then maybe you can say that you and your friends are all going to see a flick & you want him (and/or some of his friends) to tag along.. I mean like I said the worst that could happen is he says no. And then you move on and find a new guy to love! :)

ok, just as the title, i do NOTHING! right when i get home,Bam,on the computer. i only have school friends,and no one wants to hang out with a uninteresting person. omg,no lie,im so boring! i dont even do anything,i just feel like i cant!the only thing i do is on wednesday,musical theater,but thats not even school related. i really need to be more social,and happier. how can i do this?! help?! i need to do something with my life! (link)
| |
I think everyone goes through that stage in some point of their life. If you want to hang out with friends after school or on the weekend, think of something fun and invite a lot of people. That way if half of them don't show up, you'll still have people to hang out with. Go to the mall, or an amusement park, or go see a new movie that everyone wants to see. You could throw a little party at your house.. like a BBQ or something, depending on what area you live in. Your friends from musical theater might want to hang out.. you'll never know if you don't ask! :)

My parents have recently told me that they might get divorced. I actually found this as a shock because they used to fight a lot, but the fighting seemed to have stopped. I've been really upset because if they do decide to divorce, than not only will my parents lives be different, so will mine and my 3 younger brothers who have no clue what's going on. Anyway, what kind of stuff happens in a divorce and what should I expect? How can I deal with this? (link)
| |
First of all, I want you to know I'm sorry that you're having to go through this. I'm also sorry your parents have to go through this, and your little brothers as well. Divorce is hard for everyone involved. Obviously if they've let you know they might get a divorce, it's pretty serious. I'm sure they will make it as smooth as possible for you and your siblings. Of course it will be different.. you will live in two households, essentially. In my case, I lived in my mom's house and never saw my dad. But obviously your dad has been around for a while so I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of both of your parents. Just be there for them if they want to talk to you. Try not to throw fits or get upset even if you really want to scream inside. Remember it's hard for everyone. Help your little brothers get through this tough time - they need you right now and will remember how you acted during this time forever. Good luck.

Sometime last week me and my bf were talking about having sex and he didnt think i was being serious about it..i told him that i would have sex with him but he thought i was joking and i really would and i want to..he says he wants to but i dont know if hes just saying that or what. i dont know how to make him see that i am serious. how do i do it? im really shy about these things too. (link)
| |
If you honestly think you're ready for it, just straight up tell him you are serious. But remember that there is a HUGE chance of pregnancy, even WITH protection. So get on some form of birth control FIRST and use condoms as well... you don't want a baby this early, do you?

i sweat a lot, so does anyone know a goooodddd deoderant that doesnt make u sweat. and dont say certain dri b.c i dont think it works good [tried it]. thankkk you :] (link)
| |
Mitchum works. They have it for men and women, just depending on which scent you prefer. I like the gel, not the white/clear stuff, because it works better. It's a little more expensive than most deodorants but is still only like $4.
|
My boyfriend told me he loved me the other day.
And I froze because I don't love him back.
What should I have said, and what should I say in the future when I still don't love him and he says it again? (link)
| |
I have that problem, too. I mean, I think I do love him back but I'm not ready to say it until I'm 100% sure. When he says it you can just lean in and kiss him.. it'll shut him up lol. Seriously though don't just freeze it makes them feel totally stupid. Tell him you have really strong feelings for him you're just shy about saying the L word! :) Hope that helps.
