Q: I'm trying my hand at theater/acting. I'm getting an agent. Would getting my belly button pierced hurt my chances of making it in the acting business?
No, of course not! It shouldn't! These days, a lot of people have all kinds of piercings. So it has become sort of the norm of this generation. It also depends what kind of job you are getting. Some jobs, maybe some movie roles might restrict against it. But when it comes to the entertainment world, it probably won't matter. You can also ask your agent, if you are unsure too.

Q: My aunt has scabies and is really freaking her out, according to my mom. What are scabies anyway? How did my aunt get scabies and how do you get rid of it? I've never seen what scabies look like but I am curious so does anyone have a picture of them or it that I could check out?
Scabies are horrible! I should know because I experienced it! Scabies are tiny little itchy bugs (mites)that crawl under your skin and itch like hell! Your skin will itch badly and have little red bumps on it. Scabies are so small that you can't see them. This illness have been around for ages. You can catch it from anyone, anywhere. If you come in contact with an affected person with scabies, you can catch it because it is extremely contagious. If you can, try to stay away from people that have scabies. You have to get a prescription from a doctor to get a medication called Acticin. (Permethrin) This is the best treatment and it works very well. This is a cream ointment that you must apply all over your body from the neck down.(Majority of the times one treatment will work, but if the scabies is severe-you can apply the cream at least twice-again a week later)and let it stay on your skin for 8-12 hours then after that you must take a shower or bath to wash the medicine off of your skin. If you don't treat scabies, they will only get worser! So it's best to treat it in it's early stages when you first catch it! Still your skin will continue to itch until it get better, probably for a few more weeks, after you use the medicine. Take cool or warm baths. Don't use soap. Use 1% of hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas of your skin. Be sure to wash all of your clothes, shoes, bed sheets-anything that may have scabies on it-with hot water. Store other things in plastic bags for at least 3 days, because this will kill the scabies. All of this should help your aunt. But as in any case, if the problem does not get better or it get worse then contact a doctor or go to the emergency room right away!

You should talk about your problems with someone you trust, love, and feel comfortable talking to. Whether it be your parents, counselor, priest, older relative or close friend or even spouse. We all have problems. We wouldn't be normal if we didn't. And No, you are not crazy! It's good that you admit that you are having these issues. Some people won't even admit it. You should also seek help by asking a counselor for advice. Go see your doctor, you may have a medical condition that you may not know about. It could be a sign of depression or stress or something more serious. Try to relax. Get active in an activity that you enjoy. Stay away from negative and stressful situations, including people. Finally, don't forget to pray because prayer is very powerful for you.

Q: I keep seeing stuff about it on TV and on the internet. and all I wanna know is how does anyone know when the world is going to end? because in the bible it says that only god will know when the world is going to end? and why would people make stuff up about that? some people may believe it and drop out of school or quit there jobs. it just doesn't make sence. Do people get joy out of scaring people? PLEASE help! I need answers.
Well, you actually answer your own question when you mention that the bible says that only God knows. It's true. We are living in the last days or last hours of this world. God has a set time when he will unleash Armageddon using his one and only son, Jesus Christ, to bring the final war of all wars. People believe all kinds of things. And yes, they will try to scare you for good and bad reasons. In order to persuade you to join their religion or to encourage you to do better or whatever. I can't give you a specific time when the world would come to an end. Because nobody knows for sure. Of course we can sense it. Throughout the years, people have thought that other years like 1975, 2000, the world was coming to an end. In conclusion, again only God knows his exact time. But now, Jesus, Satan, everybody-that's informed knows that it is close to an end.

Q: My best friend and I were talking yesterday about racism and we got on the subject of President Obama being a black man. We both heard people saying things like, "I'm not afraid to vote for a black man," and, "I'm voting for Obama because I'm not racist!" A lot of people we came in contact with seemed to not care what Obama was about but focused more on what color he was. Well, we both got to thinking and...isn't it racist to vote for a black guy just because he is black? Isn't that like NOT voting for a black man because he's black? It sounds pretty much like the same sort of racism, right? I don't know maybe we're over-thinking this sort of thing. What do you think?
Yes, it is racist! Voting for someone because they are black is the same as voting against someone because they are black. Voting for someone just to Prove that you are not racist, only proves that you are (Whether you are actually racist or not, it shows that it's on your mind) and it's stupid and seriously misinformed. Because if you're not, you don't have to prove it. People should just forget about color not just when it comes to voting but everything else. Color like beauty is only skin-deep. The same God created every man, woman, child-exactly the same way. Whether it's voting, picking a mate, you should go by the policies, personality, what the person is about, not the color of the skin. I know that many people, especially blacks, was glad to see a black person get elected. And that's great. Though still you should pay attention to the person's policies or actions than race. Sometimes, I wonder if it wasn't for color and everybody look the same, what will racists be prejudiced about then. But as always, if they can't pick color to hate on then they will pick something else.
