Does it damage it? Is it like a perm? (link)
A texturizer acts much like a relaxer, but it just loosens the curl density of your hair. In fact, all you do is pretty much rinse the relaxer out early. It's not nearly as damaging as a relaxer, but still has an effect on your hair.


I was just wondering for girls gymnastics in the Olympics..do the girls wear anything under the uniforms like underwear or anything? It seems like they dont because I'd imagine they would show? Just curious ! (link)
Their suit is like a bathing suit. Built in underwear. :-)


I want to buy somehing but I don't want to get scammed and buy something of poor quality and not get my money back. I'm afraid maybe if I pay I won't get it or it won't be as good as it looked on the internet. What are the chances of gettin scammed on ebay or craigslist?

I actually would go with ebay all the way. There are seller ratings and reviews in place there to help prevent scamming. So if you find something you want to buy, search it up first at a few other well-know online shopping sites, and compare it to the product listed at ebay. Then look at the seller info. They should say where the item was manufactured at and when. Keep in mind the prices. If you find a pair of new Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers for $20, unless they're used, they're knock-offs.

But don't let that scare your off. I got myself a new cellphone (a Palm Pixi Plus) off of ebay for $40. It was a very good deal and I don't regret it, since my phone is working quite nicely.

Hope this helps!


How to get rid of a stuffy nose? Please! Somebody must know a way for fast relief? I feel like I am going to suffocate. :( (link)
Steam works magic. Take a hot shower, or boil a pot of water. If you haven't already, take a decongestant. I'm not sure what brands to use (it's been a while since I've been sick) but try it.


How to keep vaginal area clean (link)
I'm going to be honest. Soap, water, washcloth.

You take a shower, and gently wipe the area. Then rinse. Gently. And don't use too much or too hot water or else it'll hurt.


Hey, 17/f

Basically I have a bit of a problem with talking to the opposite sex. You see, a relationship two years ago (over in 5 months) only came about because I talked to a guy, and he took it as me leading him on abit.
So now, I cant really have a conversation in class with any guy because I'm worried they'll think I fancy them. So basically in class I ignore the guys and talk to the girls. However, this cant continue as I'll be in a v.male class next year and they'll think I'm odd.

So How do you talk to guys without them thinking you fancy them?!
Thanks (link)
Talk to them like you would talk to a girl. Not exactly exactly like that, but the same general pattern. Start up a conversation about how hard or easy the assignment was. Something simple like that. Don't overdo it either. Also try to be aware of your tone. I know that sometimes I start talking with alternating pitches and saying more cutsey stuff (which can be perceived as flirting) to a gu

And hun, don't get caught up in something that happened a while back. That might have been just him and his thinking.


Hey I was wondering how you bleached your hair with clorox? Like what all you used, how much, and how long it was in your hair?? I'm very curious, I want to bleach my hair. (link)
NO NO NO!!! Don't EVER dye your hair using clorax. It's horrible for your hair and your health. Please go the safe route and buy a bleaching kit (that uses peroxide) for your hair from the hair coloring aisle.


I am Junior in High School and I have been contemplating suicide for a few years. This year, it's appeared in my thoughts more often than previous years. I am drowning in my own misery and I wish I could silence this storm in my mind. I feel empty and yet I have a loving family and a wonderful girlfriend. Nothing heart-wrenching has occurred recently and I have no idea why I feel this pain. I know how selfish it is, but I'm very puzzled. Often, I feel like I'm the source of disappointment and pain of all whom I love. This "feeling" has consumed me completely and I've cut many relationships with family and friends. But, no one takes my struggle seriously and some even encourage it. I don't know what to do with myself.
I just want to disappear for a while or sleep. I just feel so dead and empty but everything is going so well. The other day, I carelessly plugged in a rice cooker with wet hands and it sparked, but I was unharmed. I was verbally scolded and as I ignored it the only words that I heard were, "I don't give a damn about that thing! It's you I'm worried about! That's replaceable, but there's only one you!"

That makes me want to kill myself all the more. (link)
I can completly relate to you on this level. You have no idea why you could possibly be depressed since everything seems to be going great but something seems off. It's okay. Know that. In fact, this might even be short-term. Mine lasted two months of constantly thinking of suicide or such. It can be ao discouraging when your family or friends don't really try to understand. I have personally wished that I could slip into a coma to just escape life and people.

But please, know that this can get better. Write about these feelings. Truat me, it works. And try do to dtuff that you like. Or even change up your routiens in life.


We dated and broke up. We are sort of friends. We stopped talking until I was over him. His birthday was yesterday so I texted him happy birthday. When I saw he replied my head got dizzy and I started shaking like crazy. I thought I was getting over him but I guess not. We didn't date very long. One month. He broke up with me for his ex-girlfriend. I was completely crushed. I liked him for 5 months before we started dating and we became best friends a month before we started dating. I have never liked anyone as much as I like him. But since the situation was bad I thought I could get over him easier. I don't want to like him but I can't help that I do. What should I do? We are both 15. Yes I understand he wont "be the one" but right now he is all I want. I don't care if he will be or not. Help? (link)
Well, I would say that if you're feeling that way towards the guy, then there isn't much you can do to stop yourself. If you really like the guy, then you really like the guy. Just know that what happened, happened, and there isn't much you can do to change the past. He did what he wanted to, and you have to do what you have to do.

Write about your issues to yourself. Keep a diary, write about how this is fustrating you. Question why exactly you like him, evaluate why you should or shouldn't like the guy.

that's all the advice I have for you


What are good nicknames for my boyfriend? (link)
Nicknames aren't generally just something you can come up with out of the blue. There are several different ways you could go about nick naming your boyfriend, though.

What's his first name? Many times if it's something like Christopher you could just call him Chris.

What does he look like? Choose something that you really like about his appearance and go with that.

How does he act? Personality can be a great way to nickname someone.

And if all else fails, a good 'ole "Sweety" or "Hun" or "Babe" will be sufficient.

Good luck with your boyfriend!
