Hey!
I have straight thin hair. Its about 3 inches past my shoulders. How long do you think it would take to grow hair to a little longer than the middle of my back? Thanks!

hey! it will probabbly take untill the winter...but you can use shampoos to make it grow faster...i have this shampoo and conditioner call grainer frutis long and strong. and it really worked on my sister. i mean its not like an imitiate result...but still it works. and you should try ggetting a trim...a LITTLE TRIM...and say you're "trying to grow your hair out so dont cut too much off please" well, thats all i have for now. get back to me with a response. good luck. much love, erica.

Last night I had just witnessed a death. it made me real sad. It was my grannie. she has played a HUGE role in my life. I stood there and watched her die. I All I do is cry now. What can i do to stop

aw. im so sorry to hear that. i know how its like to go threw death. in my family there has been so many tragedies in the passing away subject. my dads twin brothers life was taken to heaven on september 11th (twin towers) and i know how horrible it is to go threw that. my aunt judy...my dads sister....her life was also taken. and my dad had a pretty ruff time. i know how hard it is. your grandmas in a better place now. i know its hard to except it but youll rejoin her one day. YOU WILL. its good to cry. but dont get hung over by it. your grandma wouldnt want that. try to do things to keep your mind off it...but still remember her. its good to honor her by remembering...but she wouldnt want you to be stuck in your room crying. i am really sorry that happened, but SHES IN A BETTER PLACE. shes happy. she wants YOU to be happy. understand that. i hope i helped. becasue thats all i have for now. let her rest in peace. much love, erica.

Ok so i like my brothers friend...i am in 8th grade and he is in 10th...
*he ALWAYS says hi to me online
*when he comes over my house to chill with my brother he talks to me....
*he asks my dad about me and how i am doing in baskeball EVERYTIME he sees him
*he is always making sure i am keeping myself in line and not drinking or smoking or doing anything bad...
*he told my brother that he thinks im rly hot....

can anyone help me please and tell me if you think he likes me ?

xoxo-*Steph

okay, so steph. this guy is totally into you. cant you tell? he wouldnt be doing all that stuff for now reason. he oviously has a thing for you. and there is nothing wrong with liking an older guy. if you didnt realize...girls are more mature than guys their same age. the reason for that is because girls mature faster than guys. girls are actually two years maturer than guys are. so your right there with him. does your brother have a problem with him talking to you? well, it seems like you really like this guy..so i wouldnt stop talking to him... and way to go on the hot comment. ahahhahahaha. well, thats all i have for now. good luck. much love, erica.

ok well in the music industry, i've noticed there's not a lot of asians..like chinese or japanese or anything at ALL. like there's plenty of blacks, and some hispanics, and even some indians...but no like chinese or anything. it's not that there's not a lot in america, there is..but how come they're not in the music business?? is this racism or what??? sorry but i find it sort of odd, what do you guys think??

well, take a look at gwen stefonies music videos...

its been 12 days since my last period and ive been having cramps for like a week and i still have them. its my first year, so could i be getting it. or whats going on?

its totally normal. ive had mine for a little over a year...and they still arent on schedual...if your getting the cramps...that probably means your GOING to get it soon. but sometimes i JUST get the cramps and dont get the actual period. but that was like a while ago. i usallly get it now. i know it hurts, but in your first year you usally get the cramps alot. and then they kindof mellow down but still hurt. i know, it sux. sry this wasnt the best advice i could of given you...but its all i have right now because im in a rush. well, good luck. and its totally normal, nothing is wrong. if you have anyother questions, just ask. much love, erica.


and p.s this is nothing to go to the doctor about...the guy doesnt know what he is talking about. and your only like 12, 13 right?...so my bets you dont even go to a g. doctor. I DONT even go. your too young to do that. i mean you might want to talk to your mom about this...but nothing to freak out about. its normal.

hey, im thinkin about switchin to tampons and i have one question. do you have to change your tampon every time you go to the bathroom (like every time i go pee)?

yeahup. you do. but its not that bad...i mean i dont use them but...when you think about it...how many times do you pee? like 2 times in school tops. not even sometimes. you go to the bathroom to change your pad more than you go to pee. well, thats all i have for now. send me some feedback. good luck. much love, erica.

Ever since cheerleading started back up it's had a new effect on me. I no longer eat three meals, I don't even eat two meals. I do drink lots of fluids though. Most of the time I don't even eat one meal, and if I do eat one meal it's at school because I really don't want my friends to know but yet i'm writing in here telling you all the truth. I do feel bad, But I can't control what's happening to me. I didn't wake up one day and say "Oh i'm going to exercise more and eat less" I never said that, NEVER. This all took place on its own and I wish I knew why but I don't! I think it's a generic trait that got passed onto me from my mom, Because when my mom got out of highschool (18 years old) she was 99lbs and she always told me how she never ate anything so i'm guessing she did have an Eating Disorder. I'm constantly hearing voices in my head, Constantly. That's why i can't sleep at night. That's why I have a hard time concentrating. I lose my train of thought because those voices interupt me. They're all telling me different things but I know they all are talking about the same thing. I've been wearing hoodies and long pants lately, I've been so freezing cold. I don't know why. I rode my bike 10 miles today. It feels great.. I almost passed out on the way home though. My eyes got heavy and my head felt like it was falling. I had a hard time getting up the stairs to my room though my legs couldn't handle it. I feel fine though. On the 5 miles back I cried my eyes out, But I still kept going because I knew it'd be worth it in the end. I knew I would lose a few lbs. I'm the 3rd heaviest flyer on cheerleading and theres about 4-5 flyers who are lighter than me and I want to be one of them. I make up so much excuses just so I can't eat. I've told at least 5 people one of these lines.. "I'm going to have a big dinner when I get home" or "I already ate a ton before I came" You're probably thinking gosh she's a liar. It's not my fault, I can't control this. When I do eat, I feel sick to my stomach and I feel guilty. I don't feel guilty when I don't eat. I currently weigh 97lbs and i'm 5'0 and supposibly i'm already underweight but I really want to weigh 93lbs again. My parents are oblivious to the fact that I hardly eat anything, I'm glad because then they would start making me eat more and more. I have a cold and I hate it.

Am I anorexic? I'm really confused right now! I rate 5's

hey girl! you CAN control it, because your body doesnt control YOU, you CONRTOL IT. im sorry to say, it does soundlike your anerexic....because you need to eat. you do realize this is really unhealthy right?

i got some stuff off line for you...

Anorexia is an eating disorder where people starve themselves. Anorexia usually begins in young people around the onset of puberty. Individuals suffering from anorexia have extreme weight loss. Weight loss is usually 15% below the person's normal body weight. People suffering from anorexia are very skinny but are convinced that they are overweight. Weight loss is obtained by many ways. Some of the common techniques used are excessive exercize, intake of laxatives and not eating.

Anorexics have an intense fear of becoming fat. Their dieting habits develop from this fear. Anorexia mainly affects adolescent girls.

People with anorexia continue to think they are overweight even after they become extremely thin, are very ill or near death. Often they will develop strange eating habits such as refusing to eat in front of other people. Sometimes the individuals will prepare big meals for others while refusing to eat any of it.

The disorder is thought to be most common among whites, people of higher socioeconomic classes, and people involved in activities where thinness is especially looked upon, such as dancing, theater, and distance running.



kay, its me again. i hope you read that and i hope it helped. you need to see someone i think about your problem. its OKAY if you want to loose weight. but you have to understand thats not the way to loose it. excersise! if you need ideas on excersising...just ask me. situps are good...i always do them. and crunches. and running and working out also...IFF YOU ATE FOOD before hand. do you know that your doing damage to your brain? thats why you cant concentrate as good...and why you felt light headed. its 100% normal to want to loose weight...but anerexia is not normal. you need to feel good about your self. 97 pounds IS NOT overweight. and i understand that you want to be one of those flyers...but you cant be weak. your legs are sending you signals to eat. you need protein and food. juice wont do all that. people collaspe they get so weak from annerexia. i dont even know you and im worrying about you. haha. well, thats all i have for now. get back to me. send some to the inbox on what you think. much love, GOOD LUCK, erica.

ok..
when you have a negitave plus and negitave do you add them together or subtract them?
nagitave plus a positive? add or subtract?

Thanks

okay heres a little hint...
when you add negitives...you are only going to get a smaller number right? (hopefully you understand that much)
when you are adding negitives...you just add them like adding anyother numbers...and then put a negitive sign in front of it (-)...
when you SUBTRACT negitives...
well this is a little jingle that will help...
its (kcC)= keep change change.
that means...for example...
-12 - -4 = x
keep the -12 as it is. = KEEP
change the subtraction sybol to a addition symbol = CHANGE
and change the NEGITIVE 4 to a POSTITIVE 4 = CHANGE

then it all works out.

soo...it comes to....

-12 - -4 =x
to...
-12 + 4 = x
to....
-12 + 4 = -8
and you know its a negitive because the negitive number (12) is larger than the postitive number (4)

well, i hope yo uunderstand. its kind of hard to exsplain on computer. but i will help even more if you dont understand. =) get back to me wither way =) good luck. much love, erica

okay well there is this guy at school named travis.. well me and him always talk and we hang out at school as much as we can.. i can talk to him about anything.. and he calls me all the time and we talk for hours. he likes me.. i know because he told me and i know i like him but some of the things he does i dont like.. he gets in trouble at school alot and one day he came to school "high" and he started flirting with me and he kept sayin stuff to me that i know he would never say when hes not high.. and i always ask him about it and he doesnt remember.. and he comes to school drunk and i dont like any of that at all and he wont stop.. but i dont know how to get him to stop.. and on weekends he gets soo drunk that he pukes his guts out and i tell him not to do it but he wont listen to me and also i dont like his friends at all! they are all to old for him and they do really bad stuff and then he tries to be like them and does it too.. and he wanted to come over to my house and i would have let him but he was with his friends so i told him not to bother and im really upset and i dont know what to do.. so could some one please help me and tell me what i should do.. thanks i rate 5's

hey girl! okay well, i kind of had the same situation. i liked a guy who smoked pot. well, you seem to really like him and it seems he really likes you. i think you should seiorusly talk to him. and be like "im not going to keep hanging out with you if you keep getting high and drunk" i know you cant just say stop...but i think he will mellow down a bit...if he really likes you and wants to do whats best. and make sure you tell him it really bothers you when hes high.you really should tell him. i think you should give him a second chance, and tell him what your doing. and if you think he's improoving in the getting high and drunk section...make sure you tell him that you are seeing him get better and you really like it. well i have to go to bed now...ill get back to you later if you send one to the inbox. kay, GOOD LUCK. hope i helped abit. much love, erica

I'm 13 female and i haven't kissed anyone yet...is this normal? Most of my friends have kissed someone but i want to wait until i find someone special. Most girls though have their first kiss when they are 12...am I abnormal? Or just plain 'ol me?

hey girl! no thats totally normal. really, it is. im just like you. im waiting for that specail person too. your first kiss is something you remember for the rest of your life...it really is. and it shouldnt be something that your forced to do. it shuoldnt be planed. but if thats was YOU WANT....go on and do it. but i personally think it should be when the times right...and you will know when its the time. and romantic. but that might not be what you want. and if its not, im sorry...because then im giving all the wrong advice. but you should be mature when you have your first kiss. and personally i dont think your mature enough to appreciate it at age 12. well, send a message to my inbox on your respnse. hope i helped. much love, erica
