okay, so i'm debating on dying my hair again.
but idk what color to do it.
right now it looks like this:

http://a991.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/55/l_0d0def119573498ff3fbb87b135c8106.jpg

but it faded since then and i need a new color.
so i was thinking of going back to this color blonde:

http://a840.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/124/l_e0985d5e857b894db0f30e147560a157.jpg


so i guess the question is,
should i keep my hair brown?
or go back to the blondish color?

keep the brown.

This will be long, but I feel I need to give all the info for a good answer, will appreciate as many answers as possible, please and thank you. So, I am thinking of leaving the father of my child. He has not hit me in about 6 months. Before that though, I have had my head slammed into walls, hit in the back of the head with a fist, punched, thrown down, he held a knife to my throat and said he would kill me...been pushed and dragged in the woods, he said he could kill me if he wanted and cover it up because he had before, and also strangled two times, once while I was laying down breastfeeding my child. Now, the only evidence I have of this is that one of my friends saw bruises all over my body and another friend was there when I got thrown down while holding my baby. I never called the police because any time i threatened, phones have been broken and his family was very angry when my dad found out i was being abused and called the cops. his parents still do not believe their son is capable of harm and think I am full of shit. my family lives 2000 miles away. He also has broken almost everything I own that means something to me, including pictures of my dead pet and pictures of my best friend and I that are 10 years old. So my question is, without real proof, can I obtain custody of my child...and also, his family is wealthy and will buy the best lawyer around, and be there to support him, and my family is far away and i would have to settle with a public defender. I do not want my baby to never see his father, I know deep down that his dad loves him and it wouldnt be right to take him away. I just want to be the one in control so I can look out for the safety of my child. also, does it matter that he is supposedly "recovered abuser" since he has not hurt me in 6 months? I am very confused. he is also mentally abusive using words like "cunt" "stupid idiot" and "your the stupidest person I have ever met". He does not consider that abuse though. So any input on the outlook of my case if i decide to pursue it would be very helpful, and is there anything i can do about all my belongings that he has smashed and ruined? (one such item was worth $250) thanks very much

I'm 99.9% sure that you will get custody of your baby because a baby needs their mother for breast feeding, emotional support etc.

On the other hand, if you have been on drugs or have commited a crime, then chances are the baby would have to go back to the hospital or somewhere it could be properly taken care of(nowhere near your husband's family or yours most probably).

It's not likely that the baby will go to your husband because it just rarely works like that, there's no real explanation for it.


My parents are supposedly going to get a divorce so I researched all I could about child custody.

I hope you're able to prove the abuse because it doesn't matter if he is a 'recovering abuser' or not, he abused you.

Sophmore

So everyone in my science class knows my background (ethnicity).I'm proud of who and what I am. Although, people are sort of starting to make fun of me. For example, this boy named Fabian asks me questions from time to time about what language i speak and where the country is located etc. And so I tell him. But now it's getting out of control. He knows this boy that has the same ethnicity as me and he tried to hook us up! LIKE NO, YOU DON'T DO THAT!!! I never asked for a boyfriend and i don't want one. And now he's asking everyone about my ethnicity.It's sort of hard to explain but he's doing it in a way so that i look bad. And then later on today he came up to me and said that my background's people made cookies from dirt and water. AND IT'S JUST LIKE I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION CORRECTLY!!!! ALL ANSWERS GREATLY APPRECIATED
***ASAP***

Fabian is such a beautiful name.



But for your advice. You really shouldn't care what people think and I know it can get annoying like a fly that's buzzing around your face and you really want to swat it. On the other hand you can also get back at Fabian by making fun of him.



Best of Luck.

i started growing little hairs on my nipples and so for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to shave them off? they weren't even noticable at all in the first place but now their like darker since i shaved them and everything. anyway i could make them go away without having to like pluck them or something..

thanks :/

You could wax them off or laser your boobs, but then again having hair on boobs is really natural. Every single person has it, some people can't see theirs because they might have blonde hair but most brunettes have that visible nipple hair.

whoever out there..somebody: I need help! REcently I just started cutting again because I have done it a little bit in the past. I reall want to stop but I don't really know how. I just don't approve of myself and it feels as if my life is going downhill. I need some advice and if anyone out there has done this before and quit- please tell me how you did it.
Thank You!

The only treatment of cutting is to always look on the brighter side of life. Never compare your life to other people because she can be the prettiest girl out there or the smartest but it doesn't mean she doesn't have her own problems to deal with.





I once read, we get what we deserve. So do you really deserve those scars? I used to cut too and I overcame it by not putting myself down. That's what you need to do.

If he loves you he'll respect your choice. If he keeps trying to have sex with you then he's not worth your time.

my dad is getting married in july and im moving to a new house. i need some good ideas for my room like what color or theme. i want it to be something i can still appreciate when i get older and not feel childish. be the way im 15. im kinda girly i like polka dots if they are cute. stars are okay or a cute theme. some good colors would be pink, or navy or, black or brown. i dont really know what i want to do yet and i need a lot of help!!! thanks

I would pain my room a very very light pink color.
A pastel pink that shows but then it doesn't. I don't if I'm making sense here.

When that's done get navy bedsheets.

baby mama?
drillbit taylor?
21?
street kings?

i hate how all good movies come out at once. so help me choose, please. =] 14/f. i know street kings is R but i love keanu reaves so idk i guess an adult would just have to be there if you think thats the best choice.

Out of all those movies I've only seen one and that's 21. Personally I love Sturgess so I had to, but I would defintely recommend Street Kings or Baby Mama.

I'm 16, female, and weigh 149 lbs. I'm only 5'4, but I'm in sports all year round. So I'm built. People told me that I look like I lost weight, but I want to lose the fat that I have. I have a lot of muscle, but I know I could lose weight. Its mainly in my stomach, I have that little stomach that most girls have. How can I lose that? I run track, play basketball and cheer. In track I don't run a lot, about only 2-3 laps each practice, should I try running a mile everyday? I'm thinking about drinking only water, and OJ, no pop, and still eat my regular foods, but take out the sweets and un needed foods, like bored eating. Will this help? Any help is welcomed!!

Try not eating after 6:00 PM. This is what makes you gain un-necessary weight.

Ok, heres the problem. I feel very comfortable with older people then I do with people my own age. The trouble with that is I'm 17 and the people I get along with are like 34-whatever. Well, when I'm at school I literally can't even look up at people. I get so nervous. I mean it's kind of pathetic but I talk to this janitor everyday more then I talk to anyone else in the school. I literally have my head down and I wear like uberly baggy clothes as well. I feel very uncomfortable with myself. I've had a shrink since I was 8 so don't suggest that. And I already take meds which obviously isn't helping. What can I do?

I actually think that's pretty cool because not many people are comfortable around elders. I'm the same way my bestfriend is a 27 year old and I'll be 16 in 4 days time.

However I have a question for you. Do you want to stop your behavior and fit in with kids your own age instead of adults?

If you do then try befriending a classmate. I'm sure someone in your school or neighborhood has the same interests as you.


You never know until you lunge yourself out there.

do emo kids get made fun of a lot?

Emo kids are not the average skinny jean wearing, hair straightened and dyed different colors people. I don't think these people are emo at all, even though they are recognized with the name.

Emo kids are tended to get laughed at because they over react to a lot of things and because they express themselves in lots of different ways, which is not really excepted because people don't like to be around them. Their gloomy and they never see the bright side of life. I don't see why people would like to be overly emotional to everything.

I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone reading this.

ok so im 13/f and i have a problem with cutting myself. i understand that it is a problem so that is the first step to recovery.

i want to knnow if there are any places ONLINE that i can get help for my problem. i dont want any1 to know i have these problems so i cant go to see a person. also i cant let my parents find out.


thanks for the help.

I used to cut myself and who knows when I'll have the urge to do it again. Honestly the ONLY cure to cutting is wanting to stop more than anything.

One reason why we cut is because we can't find another solution to dealing with life. You need to find out another way to deal with your problems whether it be putting a pillow in your face and screaming at the top of your lungs or using a punching bag until your knuckles are bruised.


You have to want it more than anything and you'll stop. It's all about will. You CAN stop.

I want to try and get into Yale. I know it's a lot of work. Can someone tell me all the qualifications and stuff?

i couldn't really find it on the website.

also do colleges like that have everything? like if i wanted to do fashion would they have courses on stuff like that?


thanks to anyone who can help!

Yale is one of the most prestigious Ivy League Schools in the world. Maintain a 3.5+ G.P.A. Community service counts, rack up as many hours as you can. High SAT scores will do wonders and a have a kick ass application.


I don't think Yale has any fashion courses. Try FIDM.

Try not eating after hours. Fat percentages and calorie numbers tend to add up and give you the so called 'pouch' you can't get rid of.

So i really dont care if guys grab or smack my butt. it doesnt bother me. if they want to they hey go aheadd. i think of it as a compliment.
is that hoeish? i mean some guys ask if i care and im like no not really. but i dont want people to start calling me a hoe.

One...a whore is another word for a prostitute. 2...I'm old fashioned and I don't think letting guys smack your butt or grab your butt is a good thing. The only thing that guys think about these days especially our age is sex...it's their time so if you allow them to...imagine what they'll do when you become a junior. So to me, I don't think it's 'hoeish' per say but I know for a fact that if you continue letting guys do that to you...they'll know your easy and go further.

first i put clean face:
1) Clean& Clear-Blackhead clearing[scrub]
2) Neutrogena-Deep Clean[oli free]
3)Olay-age defying
4) sometime Dove[white]

is that good to use it all same time or one?
and also i have Clearasil-acen control[Pore Cleansing Pads] SOMETIME.

yea, is it good? or pick one!

my face is pimple, oncely acen, and OILY the most, and also after i washed them all then my face goes DRY which lotion or whatever help me less dry?
help thank

The answer to why you have such dry skin is because you use too many products. Keep it simple. Just wash your face in the morning and at night (once each time!) with a deep cleansing face wash...Clean and Clear is the best and drink at least 5 bottles of water a day. Your pee should always be clear...if it's not that means your dehydrated so your skin produces oils to rehydrate your body causing black heads and acne. So drinking water should be your main priority. Also take 'face pads' to school and whenever your skin gets oily wipe it off and that should do the trick. Hope I helped!

i know what my valentines day is going to be like. my ex is going to be withh his new girllfriend. they go to the same school. we broke up a month ago. we were together 5 months. im not going to see them on valentines day, but im going to know that theyre together. ill be thinking about him all day. him and her. im not over him at all as you can tell. does anyone have any stories about how bad their valentines dayss gonna be cause i need some support. make me see that im not alonee here. thanks

I'm spending Valentine's day alone, doing homework most likely...all by myself...alone. And I'm sorry your boyfriend dumped you for someone else but the bright side of life is...there will always be another Valentine's Day, just like there will always be another guy knocking on your door. So forget about him and have a great week!

I'm a bit underweight and I'm doing my best to gain. The problem is that I really don't like eating meat. I like eating chicken and turkey, but that's really about it. Is there anything I can do to bump up my nutrition without having to eat beef?? I do eat a lot of fruits & veggies, but are there any other foods I can try to replace beef?? Thank you!!

Eat hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds. They're filled with protein and really good for the skin.
