Is it better to wash your hair in cold water or in hot water? Is it less damaging?

I think its better in hot water because the hot water can kill any germs or bacteria in your hair that can lead to lice. Plus, Who would want to take a cold shower??

I have a friend who is heavily into drugs. She isn't doing it to have fun, she is doing it to escape problems in her life. She has had a very difficult life, so it isn't like an emo thing. I am too close to her to help her. I have been through this with her many times. My question is, what can I do to try and get her away from all of the drugs without making her mad at me. Also if there is anything you could suggest, where I could help her, it would be much appreciated. Thank you all so much in advance. This problem has really got me down.

~Nokomis~

I would tell her the results drugs can do to your body and that they arnt away to escape problems. tell her to go to a guidance counseler to talk about her problems than giving herself a chance to death.

okay so i am and only child and im am the total opposite of spoiled! if ne thing im way over protected! my parents are really tight! and they wont let me do n e thing! im 14 and im goin out with this boy but i dont kno how to tell my parents.. i mean they kno that i like this boy and he likes me but how can i get them to let me go out with him? or like just atleast hang out with himout of school? i get good grades and im honest with them and they trust me and i deserve to b able to have more privalages! how can i just explain to them that everyone has a boyfriends when your my age and that most of them are allowed to go out on a date with them?

Say to them: Do you remember ____? (theyll say yes) then say Well im his girlfriend now or Im going out with him now and I was wondering if I could go to the movies with him Friday. Something like that. If they say you shouldnt have a boyfriend at that age say everyone does and we really like eachother.

Ok there is this girl that i have been best friends with for about two years. we arn't as close anymore because of fights. but ever since i met her i like, loved her. i cant get her out of my head. although im young (13) i know this isn't immature love. everyone seems to think im crazy because no matter how many times she breaks me, i still love her. i have been with her before, but... im not over it. i miss her so much. but the thing is, now, whenever im somewhere and she comes along. i wish she never came and just went home. but yet, i still feel the same way about her. and im not sure what i want completly. at the time, the thing is that i dont know how to get her out of my head. im starting to really lose consentration. im doing worse in school and im always sad. if anyone can please help me. i know its hard since i cant really ask a direct question... but try. i really miss her..

You probably just love her has a really true best friend. Dont ask her out again because she might think your desperate for her. If you sometimes wish she wasnt there then it may not be true love. Just go with the flow and talk to her and just be her best friend! Its the next best thing to boyfriend.

How do I get rid of my writers' block?

I like writing too and i sometimes just cant write a good story or paper. try listening to music and just think about things in your head. If its a report due some other day for school then give it a nights rest. Just think of anything to write about. Sorta like daydreaming.

Im gonna try to make this as short as possible so no one has to read alot. There is this guy that goes to my church that plays guitar in the band.When i saw him i thought he was so cute and looked like a nice guy. I didnt know how old he was so i asked someone and they said they think he is 16.. and they also said I am to young for him becaue i am 13 but I dont think its that big of a diffrence. I wanna talk to him but im scared to and im never scared to talk to guys he is the only one. I dont know if i like him like that i just wanna get to know him and stuff because he may have a girlfriend. What should I do?

After church one day when people are starting to leave go over and talk to him! Start off by saying "It's really cool how you play guitar in the band" or "You play really good guitar. He'll probably say "thanks" then introduce yourself and it may lead onto a frienship. Find out what days he plays and then go to church on those days just to see him! If hes 16 you may want to think about going out with him but you may not maybe just a really good friendship.

Okay, well I have been talking to this guy for over a year. We get together almost every weekend. We tell each other everything. Here's the problem ..lol I like him ALOT and he knows it. He tells me he loves me and we talk on the phone everday we can't see each other. (he lives in a diff. city like 30 min. away) He tells his friends he likes me. But then again we fight a lot. But they never last long and we are cool again within a few min.(the fighting has stopped now unless we are joking around)He has turned down other girls because we are *talking*. But he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet. Do you think he will or am I wasting my time?

p.s.-a week ago he told someone he was thinking about asking me out...but a week has gone by and he hasnt but we still talk ALL the time? What do you think is going to happen? What do you think he is thinking?
I am 14
He is 14

the only thing to do is ask him out. HE WILL DEFINITELY SAY YES! I am positive. Dont be afraid to do it because in the end you will be so happy! You are definitely not wasting ur time!

how do i have a conversation on the phone with a guy with out him getting bored every time we talk. this guy he always seems bored on the phone with me. we talk like everyday and he calls me ALOT and i call him too. i just need a good conversation we go to the same school and everything he even said i was like his best friend. but when we get on the phone i never have anything to say. what should i talk about

signed-

phone conversation help!!

If he calls you ALOT and you call him too then i think he definitely likes you. If you like him to then ask him out. You may have something else to talk about. If you want to just remain friends then just bring up any subject that pops into your mind. Maybe ask him out over the phone. Dont make your convos too simple like hey whats up nm you nutin because thats the oldest thing. Try to just talk and stay cool about it.

Let me start out by saying that my sister is a nightmare. A big fat nightmare who makes your life turn into serious Hell. She is a thirteen year old snob who gets in everyones business, demands things from my parents who take it even though they don't like it. She has been damaging my life the most by trying to beat the crap out of me in front of her friends when I was severly sick, she didn't beat me up, but she kept trying to, and it made me upset, and I cried because it my body was aching. She has tried to smart mouth me in front of her friends, when my mom tells her not to do something, when shes not around, she will do it anyways, and when I try to stop her, she get up in my face, and says, "What are you gonna do about it?" Now, when things like this happens, I call my mom, and she'll just say, "stop it" even though thats probably about the hundreth time shes done it. She also lies, very bad. My parents know, but not as much, she tries spying on my phone conversations with my boyfriend, she is also known to read my other sisters diary to her friends on the phone, and laugh about it with them. She also told all of her friends something SO personal, I am not going to say, but it was so personal about my older sister. My parents do nothing about this. No matter how many times I try to ask them nicely, or I just slam it in their faces, they go talk to her, and she plays the innocent one. I told my mom tonight that she has made my life a living Hell, and all she said was, "well, she said the same thing about you" That made me so angry, because she looked at me like she believed her over me or she didn't know who to believe, HELLO! I am the innocent one here, everyone always says mean things about her, so they know shes the one whose rude! She is also known to hurt me in front of people, she'll grab underwear with blood in it, and will announce to everyone that its mine! When its really hers! I have dealt with this for a long time, and today, I just couldn't take it, I screamed in my room so loud, and tore all of the posters off of my wall, and scratched my face. I have gone crazy! When I heard somebody pick up the phone while me and my boyfriend were talking, I ran to my mom and yelled, "GET HER OFF THE PHONE NOW I HATE HER SO MUCH SOMEBODY JUST KILL HER!" And then, I went rambling on to my boyfriend how much I just want to kill her, and now I keep day dreaming about ways that I can kill her. I also kept saying, "shes a slut, a whore, a b*tch, a little sh*t, and an a*shole." I know shes a slut, but I will not get into detail about that. But I am asking somebody to please not tell me I need anger management, I know that this behavior is not abnormal, what person would not go crazy after dealing with a lying sister and parents who won't do anything about it? My behavior is scaring me, I've never hated somebody this much, I usually just like everybody, but everytime I think about wanting to kill her and it makes me feel good I get scared! I can't really talk to my parents, I've screamed it in their ears, and I've told them nicely, they don't listen to me.


Also, do not even think about having me talk to my sister, she is greedy, and selfish, all she cares about is herself, seriously, if its not her way, theres no way, shes a spoiled brat. So I guess what I'm asking is does anybody think I might be taking this too far? I know that I'm not, but does anyone think different? I know that this shouldn't get to me, but I have to live with her! I need ways to take my anger and sadness out, because all of my posters are ripped off of my wall. Also, my dad is getting me a therapist, so I can at least have somebody to talk to, but the whole time I'm probably going to ramble on about how much I hate her and wish she was dead, I have truly never felt this deeply of hate. My silly boyfriend wants me to fight her, but I'm not going to. But I hate her enough to. So, could anyone say something about this, like advice because I am in a huge puddle of misery. I just wish somebody would just think, "Maybe Sarah [me] has feelings too" when she makes fun of me, I wish she'd think, "Maybe since Sarah has depression, I shouldn't call her names because she feel pain too" And it makes me cry at night wondering how I'll ever get out of this Hell hole, somebody please give me comfort or anything that could help me. I've told my parents about my misery, so don't think that I havn't told anyone about this. I will rate.

You should definitely go to a Guidance Counsler in school if your parents cant do anything about it. Thats the most recommended thing from me. If she goes to your school you can also report it in peer mediation if you have it. You Have to do something about this! Otherwise itll just get worse and youll be a bullied piece of crap the rest of your life. You might want to stand up to her, sometimes that works. I just definitely reccomend going to the guidance counseler. If your too embarassed to go by yourself then go with your other sister if she goes to the same school. I really hope I helped. Please tell me how it goes! If you need more info just ask or IM me at SwedishFish1984

There is a show on TV, called America's Most Talented Kids~ and you are allowed to enter..and I want to enter...I'm a dancer, and I'm old enough. But it's in California, and if I ended up winning the audition, I (or my parents) wouldn't have enough money for me to go...And I really really want this..What should I do?!
signed,
Help!

If you really really want this you definitely need to go for it. Set up a bake sale or car wash to raise a few extra bucks and chip in some money yourself and ask for parents for a small amount. Maybe ask friends if they can lend you money and you'll pay them back asap. But give them the reason and make it so they feel bad for you but dont push it too hard. After a while of hard work you'll feel good that you did it. If you go let me know your name and when you'll be on so I can watch ;-)

I have a little issue see I get turned on by gurls. I basically grew up around guys and i always heard them sya damn look at that a.s.s. or she got a nice rack and I always ignored it like why do i want to hear this now when I ee a gurl i think the same excact thing i wonder what she looks like naked, what tricks she can do, just things that I would think about wit a guy. I have never done anything with a gurl and want to experiment but I am scared because i dont know how to approach a gurl to let her know. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!? And could you give me some hints on what to do when you are with a gurl do you do the same things you do with a guy and are there any special tricks?

need some help

Some people go through a time period when they just want to do something with the opposite sex. You should find the right girl for you and get into a relationship with her and ask her out. If she says yes and you both feel like you're ready for the next level then make out with her when you are alone. If you want to see them naked then do sex after a little. Dont be afraid!

My mom and I had an argument over braces the last week and she got really mad. I'm going to get them anyway and she won't talk to me. It's been almost a week and she always ignores me..and doesn't tell me wen it's time to eat or anything.. PLEASE don't tell me to sit her down and have a talk..we don't have that kind of relationship..and I can't wait it out! Please don't critisize..I rate!

ask her.. do you want me to have crooked ugly teeth with a horrible smile, Or Nice straight teeth with a nice smile? Tell her a lot of people have braces and its not a bad thing. You'll have them for a year or so.

to make this short i my dad and i dont get along at all and i have tried so hard to be nice to him or to have a convo. with him but he always ends up yelling at me and i think thats why ive started to change i dont feel like i have a family any more.. i had started to smoke( i quit tho.) and i drink every once in a while and ive even tried weed once. Some of my friends dont like that ive changed and the rest of my friends dont care. but i got really sick the other day and my father took me to the doctors because my mom made him, the doctor said im getting bad lungs from being around smoke so much and my dad promised the doctor he wont smoke around me but he still does its like it wants me to get wrose... Please Help!!

Contact the doctor or have your mom do it. If you keep being around this smoke you can get bad lung disease and possibly die. I would definitley not smoke no matter how tempting it is. Try to lay off drinking and dont do weed again for a little. You may want to talk to your mom and maybe she could divorce him and you can move out but i dont know if you would want that. Just make sure you call the doctor.

Ok, i used to talk to this guy david and we seemed to hit it off pretty well. but then he accused me of "having something" with his friend John. But it was total bull. So we stopped talking. then, a couple of weeks ago he called me after i texted his cell. we talked for about an hour and then he had to go. We have been talking since. He told me he still liked me because he knew/knows i still have feelings for him. we made plans to meet at a dance club and hang out. seems good right? wrong. his girlfriend showed up so i got ditched. he barely talked to me all night. i was devastated that he would do that to me. but we got over it. now we are talking again and he is calling me and continuing to make plans to hang out. But he still has a girlfriend. and i dont know what to do because i really do like this kid. please help. i rate high.

~Confused (15/f)

Well, if you really like the kid then you should still hold those feelings in your heart. you have to just go with the fact that he has a girlfriend and he may pay more attention to her. Keep talking to him on the phone and make a lot of plans. Soon he might realize he loves you more then the other girl, dump her, and ask you out. When and if he dumps her wait 2-3 days to see if he asks you out. If he doesnt by the 3rd day i suggest going right for it and asking him out before he gets a new girlfriend. If you really think he likes you then he'll definitely say yes especially if you talk all the time and make plans. If he says no then you'll just have to get over it but still remain friends. Hope I helped!
