i just got my braces off and i am looking for a great teeth whitener. my mom doesn't want to spend a lot on a dentist doing it but she said she is willing to buy a semi expensive do it yourself. pleaseee help!=] (link)
I used Oral B whiting stripes.. they are like $20-30 dollars a box (thats 14 weeks) and they really do work


hey im a 26/f married,and i recently found out that im pregnant and i need some creative ways to tell my parents and my inlaws, im my parents only child so my pregnancy is really going to be exciting for them and i'll be the first pregnant out of my husbands family too so i need some thing really good and creative. thanx a bunch (link)
Well I saw on TV that the person pregnant made dinner and the food had the word baby in it. Baby Back Ribs, Baby corn, ect. You could try that to give them the hint. Good luck!


okay, so my mom hates everything about me so, I make up things that happen at school, like I tell my mom that the boy I like has said I'm sry about a billion times to me b/c of something that really happened but he only told me once, should I stop telling her lies to make her happy with my school life( which is better than my home life)or no??? (link)
Yes, stop lying because if she finds out you are lying, then she won't be too happy with you. Also, talk to her about the way she makes you feel. If you feel hated, get it out in the open and let her know so that situation at home could improve and then there would be no room for made up stories.


About a month ago my friend fixed my old computer so that it would work again and I could have a computer in my room. It is a Windows 2000 Professional and it has been working without any problems for about a month now. However, today it started going weird.

First the mouse went crazy and wouldn't move right, it was just jumping all over the screen and opening random boxes. I restarted it and it worked fine again for about ten minutes before it started doing the same thing as it had done before. I restarted it again and the same thing happened, this happened about five times before it was okay.

I did a virus scan on it but the same thing as before happened a couple of times, although I was able to fix it without restarting the computer both times.

Then suddenly the mouse froze. Everything I tried failed so I restarted it. This time the mouse wasn't there at all, it wasn't even showing up on the screen. I restarted it a few more times but the mouse still isn't showing up.

I spoke to the friend who originally fixed it but he has no idea what is wrong with it.

This is a huge problem because I need that computer for schoolwork and I can't use my family's computer often.

Please answer as soon as you can because I really need to fix this problem. (link)
I don't know if you want to spend money on fixing it but if you do you can call GeekSquad to come and they fix it...


okay i have this x- friend. we were friends for about a year and then all of a sudden she started getting weird. like she said she was bi and then said she was joking, but i dont think she was. and shes really creepy to be around, like she got a weird haircut, but i dont wanna talk to her. am i wrong? (link)
You are not wrong if you don't want to be friends with her because she has changed her personality... It would be wrong if you didn't want to be her friend because of her appearance. I bet she is still the same person you've known, just trying things out. It's probably a stage and if this friendship means anything to you, I wouldn't give up on it just like that. Wait a while to see if she goes back to her same old self, you never know it could only last a week. I have a girl on my soccer team that is bi, she is really nice and funny. Give your friend a chance, I bet the only thing that's changed is her image. She is still probably really fun to be around.


I have tons of friends, but not in my class.
Well, what I mean is, I'm with the same group of people in nearly all of my lessons. I have a few friends in these lessons, one is my best mate, but I'd really like to be friends with all of the others.
When we started high school a couple of years ago, I suppoe the reason I didn't make friends with many of them was because I was shy, and I'm not sure how to just start making friends with them now.
They've all got their own groups of friends, and I don't know how to just suddenly start being all friendly and stuff.
Have you got any ideas? (link)
Maybe you could start to get to know one or two of your classmates and then invite their group out with your group. That way everyone knows at least one person and hopefully everyone will meet someone new. Try to be more assertive and step up and talk to people. Spark a conversation about shoes, or clothes. Friendship takes a while to make so don't feel bad if you guys don't hang out right away... it may take time. Good luck... I hope I helped!


there is this eight grade dance in a month. and it seems like all of a sudden guys are asking girls to go. no one as asked me yet and like i don't care if i don't go with a guy but maybe i would like to... i don't want to ask the guy i want to go with and i don't hink he would ask me cause he's shy about those things. how could i get him to ask me? is it fun to just go with your girl friends? do people who bring dates usually hang with them the whole time? (link)
Well not many people brought dates to my 8th grade dance. The dance is a farewell, a time to spend with your friends. Don't worry about not having a date... you wouldn't want to be stuck dancing with the same person all the time.. right? And its going to be an amazing night for you.. I promise even if you don't have a date. I wouldn't worry too much about it. And if you really want to go with that kid, start talking to him and let him know your interested. He may feel the same way but be too shy to tell you. Good luck and have fun!

i REALLY REALLY like this boy. hes soo cute and nice. i talk to him online kind of alot but we never really talk in school. hes a year older so i dont have any classes with him. and when we pass each other in the halls we never say hi. he says that hes kinda shy when it comes to talking to girls and im the same way when it comes to guys. i want to invite him to the movies but i dont want him to think that im being too forward cause i dont know how he feels about me. and i dont want to invite more friends cause i want to it to be just me and him. but i want to start talking to him in school too. so what do i do? (link)
If he is shy with girls, then I doubt he'll make any move. So it's up to you to make the first move. Talk to him in the hallways, get up the courage to do so or else nothing may ever happen. If you really want this, don't be afraid of rejection, take the risk and talk to him. When you are comfortable talking to him in the halls, causally bring up the movies and then ask him. You never know, he could feel the same way about you!! Good luck :)


okay well im really not scared of sports i love sports...but im scared of the subect sports in school! and i dont know why maby its because of my teacher and also because were doing stuff i totally cant do..like loopings in the air whatever and people always tell me: i also cant do it but just try it... and how should i try to do a looping in the air like duuuhhh i totally dont know how and by the way many people got hurt..and im reeeaalllyy scared all the time...like the night before thursday (thats the day we have sports) i totally get nightmares like i end up in a hospital or something! and my teacher always forces me to do stuff i hate...and she's also really mean to me she said if i dont move i get even fatter then i am..and im sooo not fat im like one of the most slim persons in my class and people always tell me that! i dont know im just sooo scared all the time!! what should i do??
sorry this is so long

I'll rate (link)
First of all whats looping? And second of all, don't feel pressured into doing something where your safety is at risk. Try to talk to your gym teacher about something you can't do and if she ignores you, then ask her to help you so you do it the right way. Ignore other people who show off because they probably just want a good grade or have a natural talent for the sport. Ignore the "fat" comments and do the best you can... it's just gym class... right? And if you really feel paranoid that your going to get hurt, talk to yuor parents about it and ask them for help. As for the nightmares, I can't help you there but if you think about something happy, read a book, or watch tv before you go to bed and forget what tomorrow is, you may not get those dreams. I hope this helped... :)


I think my boyfriend of 4yrs is racist. And i think the race that he hates happens to be mine. I've been crying about it for hours! Is that even possible? What should i do? (link)
I would ask him first of all. See if what you suspect is really true. You never know, you could be crying over nothing. Then if he admits to being racist or seems like he is lying when you ask him, I would see if you have a future with someone like your boyfriend. Weigh the good and the bad things and see if all this pain you're feeling is really worth it. Good luck with it all :)


Okay so I went out with Ross not to long ago, I called it off because it was just to shy, and ackward we hardly ever talked. I still really like him, and I thought he liked me do, cause we began flirting alot again. Then theres Kaitlyn, My friend and his ex-girlfriend too, they had a brutal break up and now they claim to hate each other. ( They went out before me and ross did )

When Ross found out I still liked him, he got someone to tell me he liked Kaitlyn again, even though when I asked him he swore he didn't cause he hates her so much. IDK what to do, I really really like Ross, but supposidly he likes Kaitlyn, I'm so jealous of her!
AGH (link)
Talk to him face to face and ask him what's really going on. If he likes Kaitlyn, theres no reason to hate him because you called it off. And if he likes you... thats great! Just don't be upset when the truth comes out... you never know what he'll say, boys are so unpredictable. I don't really know what else to tell you... good luck!


alright kids, well my teeth are horribly yellow, like, becoming greenish on the top of them. i know this sounds totally sick but what can i do to change this. don't say go to a dentist because my parents keeps forgetting. so what are some things i can do on my own for this? (link)
I used Oral-B white stripes and noticed a difference in a couple of days... try them, they aren't that expensive I think. Also, brush and floss and use mouthwash... I don't mean to sound like a dentist but I heard that taking care of your teeth also make them whiter and shinier... good luck!


Do you think it is ok to ask a guy if he likes you. I mean like like you? (link)
Yes, definately, or else how would he know your true feelings. Go for it! Good luck!


So.. my friend, whom we'll call stacy, and her boyfriend, whom we'll call sean is what this is about i think. Not so much with sean..but i could be wrong. Stacy for the past 2 months, i just found out has been throwing up her food , and lately she can't hold it down..its a natural thing now, and because she does this, she cuts herself, and cutting herself makes her eat..its a vicious cycle. She wants to tell her mom, but her pregnant sister ran away and her mom is under a LOT of stress, so she doesn't want to put that load on top of it. She knows she has a problem, and i want to help her. But i know i can't do it by myself, she's stubborn. Would it be okay to talk to our schools couselor about this? thanx for any thing you can help w/. Oh, and where sean comes in, i think she's throwing up because of him, she thinks she's too fat? or something maybe? i hope not because he isnt like that. but plz help me. I'm the only one she's told about the cutting (link)
First of all you should definately tell someone, anyone about your friend's problem because it could get worse if you don't. And you should tell your friend that their are other ways to lose weight that are healthier to your body. You should also talk to Stacy about the cutting and throwing up because she may just need someone to listen to what she has to say. Oh and before you go tell an adult I would talk to her so she doesn't think you are selling her out or something by getting her help. Best of Luck :)

what's the da vinci code? everyone was talking about it, and now theres a movie. what is it?
thanks xo (link)
Its a page-turner book that takes place in Paris, France. It is an adult book and also a mystery. Angles and Demons is either the sequel or the prequel to The Da Vinci Code... I'm not sure which one


Id like to know how to do more hair styles. I dont want my hair to be boring. I like it when my hair brings out the good things in my facial features. What are some simple to do but pretty hair styles. and how do I do them? (link)
You can get moose and scrunch your hair and let it dry overnight to get curls, get a straigtener and straighten your hair... With those you could wear your hair half up and half down, pigtails, braided pigtails, messy bun, and even a little clip pulling it away from your face. My friend did this hair style that I loved. She french braided (pigtails) only the top of her head and then took the remaining hair and put that in a messy bun. It looked amazing. Have fun with these suggestions.


I have a question, and i don't know if it can be answered. But i will give it a shot.

Is there anyway possible to make yourself most creative? I like to write, but i find myself not being about to, it's like i can't come up with anything good. I try really hard, and nothing sounds right, it seems to be a bunch of just random thoughts put in one, with no thought. I really would like writing a lot better if i was more creative. How can i make myself be more open to new ideas that would help me be more creative, and more "neatly" with the way i write?

Thanks in advance (link)
Well, I would join an art club or take an art class. This may boost your creativity. Another thing is you can take a Creative Writing class. Oh, and with the mixed up thoughts, write them all down in a notebook or something and then one day look at them and try to piece together a main storyline and then go from there. I don't know if I really helped you, but I gave it my best :)


I was really excited last wednesday because a male friend of mine that I havent seen in 7 months came over to my place to visit me. We had been friends for a couple of years and then he had to move 1200 miles away for a job. We had been staying in touch via email. I always thought we would end up together. Well I was very disapointed when he came to visit me. For one thing; I had a birthday gift for him and he didnt even give me a card! Our birthdays are one week apart and every other year we would exchange gifts. Then he said sarcastically " woman always need attention". He also asked me if I wanted kids. He KNOWS I do; I told him several times. I snapped that of course I did. Then before he left he said the next time he came up we should fool around in my appartment.
He's turned into a complete jerk! He knows I'm not that kind of girl- I want to save myself for marriage. It also told me a lot about his character too. Why would ask me about wanting kids if he already knew the answer? He is in his 40's and has never had his own kids- I think he's a little old to be beating around the bush about something like that. The only nice thing he DID do was tell me he would mail me my birtday gift- probably because he felt guilty- but I still think it was too little too late. We hadnt seen each other in 7 months you would think he'd want to make a good impression!
Does anyone have any insight into this? (link)
I would say forget about getting into a romantic relationship with him. Let him know you just want to be friends because I'm not too sure he knows that. He may have seemed really sweet through emails, but emails can be deceiving. I wouldn't trust this guy for a little while until you feel like you've developed a friendly relationship with him. His intentions for his next visit are clear and if thats not what you want, let him know. He may think that you want to have fool around in your appartment, so the first thing you should do is let him know you are not. Someone who forces you into doing something you don't want to isn't exactly a true friend. Think about this relationship you have with this guy and decide if you can work things out or if its time to call it quits. It's your choice and what ever you choose, do it because thats what you want to do, not because you are being pressured into it by someone else. Also, I would talk to a close friend about what happened to get their opinion on the situation. Maybe he was kidding around and you overreacted.. you never know. Just deal with this problem one step at a time. I hope the advice of a 15 year old can help you... Good luck!


Okay.

i'm 15 and a half, female, sophomore in highschool, and i've like the same guy for a long time. Probably since september... about 7 and a half months now. I mean, some times i'll like him a LOT, and other times it'll be a crush. But it's always there. He's a junior btw. I think he's 17. Anyways a while back i told him how i felt... it was a few months ago. And it turned out he liked my friend "R". I dont' think R likes him, but he's always talking to her and stuff. I mean, R and him are friends to begin with, so i could be overreacting, but it seems like they flirt a lot.
Anyways R and this guy both went on this trip my school sponsored to europe. My best friend G also went on the trip. G hung out with this guy, and this guy's friends. When the guy i like wasn't around, she got around to talking to his friends. She, G, found out that the guy i like has never asked anyone out before in his life becuase he's too shy. Which, i guess makes me more at ease about R and him being in europe together. But a while ago i thought he liked me. Like little stuff he did i could kind of interpret as signs. At the time, i figured he knew that i liked him, so if he liked me, he would ask me out. Obviously not the case. So i guess he's going to his prom with this freshman girl, whom i've heard rumor he likes, but i'm not sure if he'll actually follow through with dating her. I think i missed my chance to ask him out before he started liking this freshman, and now i don't know if i'll ever get the opportunity. I'm really hooked on this guy. I think we'll get closer once Drumline starts (we're both on the line) but that's not till after summer, and i'll probably forget him by then, logically speaking. I'm a hopeless romantic, and i really don't want to lose this guy. We talk as friends, but not much mroe. I've never dated anyone before... so i'm not sure how to go about asking someone out, or if at this point if i should be asking this kid out. Obviously i should wait till after his prom, but even at that point i'm not sure what to do.

i guess i just need general relationship advice on this one.

Sorry it's so long. Any ideas? (link)
I think you should start to get closer to this guy and let him know that your still interested. He could think that you don't like him in that way anymore. You should definately do this before prom. He doesnt sound like the type of guy who would turn you down if you went to talk to him or call him. Get to know him a little more so you can figure out if your feelings for him are for real or just a little crush. Don't be scared about having him reject you or what he may think because you and I know that this would be something you are going to regret in a few years. Don't wait for drumline, that may be too late and this freshman may become "more than friends" with him. Go for it and don't be scared, you have to take risks for the ones you care about. Let him know your true feelings and listen to what he has to say... Good luck :)
