'Ello, the name's Chloe, and I've always been the advice giver among my friends. If you ask me a question or if I answer your question, I'll do the best I can to help. I'm a teenager, I'm a ballet dancer (yes, I can "go on my toes") I'm also an actress, musician, writer, artist...pretty much an artist all around. If you have questions related to any of these things, I guarantee I'll be able to answer them! Well, thanks for visiting my column stop by again sometime! I'd love to meet you!

what exactly is a "rough patch" in a relationship?
It is classically defined as when things start to "go wrong" and the couple is fighting or just generally having trouble resolving their differences in what was previously a rewarding relationship. other expressions equivalent to the "rough patch" are saying that a couple is "on the rocks" or my personal favorite, that there is "trouble in paradise". Signs of a rough patch include a couple's mutual irritability when together or one person's growing discontent with the other, i.e. not calling this person as often.
Does contemporary ballet use pointe ballet shoes?
well, it can. One company that is famous for doing this is LINES ballet. If you google them or youtube them they have some pretty interesting videos, their director is Alonso King. Contemporary ballet uses both pointe shoes and soft shoes, unlike other types of dance which by definition pretty much just use soft shoes, such as lyrical. But it really depends from choreographer to choreographer.
Usually when I first wake up, my voice is higher than normal and sort of cracky. But this morning when I woke up, i was answering my mom, and my voice was really really low. i didnt really notice it until i was talking for a minute. then i didnt think much of it and just fell back asleep. and now i'm like .. wow? why did i just start talking lower than i've ever heard myself, for no reason? my throat wasn't hurting or anything..
well if you are a pubescent-ish boy and even if youre not, everyones voices go through pitch changes in life. what youre describing sounds like classic voice change, high and cracky for a time and now the lower tones of maturity. If you are a boy between the ages of 9 and 14 chances are this is what has happened. enjoy being a man haha
So I'm going on a trip with a team and it's pretty small, and one of my best friends and my crush is going and we're the only people he really knows. Anyway me and him usually sit next to each other on trips and we've held hands before, but I want other ways (things to say/gestures) to hint to him that I like him.
Any advice?
well if hes ok with kinda touchy stuff you can do a lot of things, the trick is to not have him focused on that while youre doing it, so that it doesnt seem like a big deal. one of my personal favorites is put your legs over his lap if youre sitting next to him, it also means you get to stretch your legs out! also smile at him a lot, and if you can get him to put his arm around you thats a minor victory. talk to him about things that both of you like, stuff you have in common. if its stuff that only the two of you can talk about thats even better. try to sit next to him at all possible opportunities, this will maximize possibilities of talking/touching. you can also give him excuses to touch you, ie tell him you like how your new shampoo makes your hair feel, then hell want to touch it. just a few ideas. hope you can use some of it.
My boyfriends coming to my house on valentines day. I can't think of fun cute things to do before having sex n stuff. Like watch a movie n order food is all i can reli think of just now. Any Ideas?
x
maybe cook him a special meal, like a valentines themed desert (you can google a recipe for one of these, theyre all over the place this time of year)
putting that much time and effort into something special for him will be romantic, and delicious haha.
Hey 14/f
I have this really nice white Hollister button down, but the problem is, I've had it for a year and it has armpit stains in them!! I haven't worn it in awhile (a couple months) so does anyone know how to get out the stains? By tomorrow? I know that sounds like a short time period, but I really need it for this school thing tomorrow where I have to dress up nicely...so any help is welcomed! Thanks!
its white? Tide bleach I would say
you could even use one of those bleach pens
How do I restrain myself from using ':D' ':P' ':)' etc excessively?
I mean, when I type, I use proper grammar and punctuation, but I use those smileys way too much. How do I get out of the habit of using them all the time?
Any tricks or techniques to this?
replace the :D with a haha or lol if something is funny
and make the haha a HAHA or hahahaha if it is really funny
you can use other words for :P too, like "mleh", and "bleh" are two of my favorites haha
and then the :) you usually put when you want to sound friendly or are happy about something right? you can often get the same effect like lengthening your words like "thisssss"
hope that helps
haha
(notice I said "haha" and not :D)
Do any of you guys have any good ideas of books to redesign the book cover? I need an idea for my Computer Graphics class.
one of the harry potters might be fun
orrr chronicles of narnia. something with a lot of cool little characters
lord of the rings
alice in wonderland
or you could do a classic but make it funny
like have some classic characters from an old book fighting with light sabers

What is male enhancement I keep seeing comercials abt these creams and pills and I'm soo confussed n curious
male enhancement products are designed make a man's penis larger. sometimes they are designed to enhance a man's performance or longevity during intercourse. whether or not these products are effective is debatable.

ok so ive always been a little bit bigger than everyone else, but not much. Some girls say I look average, but i absolutely do not believe them. I weigh 165, and i am pretty active, and I eat pretty healthy. I swim on swim team, and the days i dont do that i work out for 45 mintues, and ride bikes and do work out videos. But lately I havent been motivated to lose weight like I did about 2 weeks, before sring break. I had lost about 5 lbs. and I can't seem to get on track with my diet. And to the truth, it's very odd tht im not motivated. Help?
thanks.
ok so i can kiiiinda relate to you. and hear me out on this, something that i have noticed about swimmng, especially with girls who swim or do water polo or whatever, is that swimming makes girls really hungry, and we tend to eat a lot after swimming without noticing it. thats something you could monitor without really changing your lifestyle that much. also, you could try not eating after 6 pm and you will burn more calories in the time that you are awake. late night eating is one of my personal biggest problems with weight gain
but most importantly remember this
as long as you are staying active, you feel good, your clothes fit, etc, you shouldnt worry about the number on the scale. i have struggled with this personally and i happen to be a 145 pound ballet dancer lol. as long as you feel good and youre staying active youre good to go and numbers are just numbers
:)
(ps- this might be kinda stupid but when im feeling fat i watch tv shows about morbidly obese ppl and then i look at myself and im like wow im glad im not that. hahahahhahaha jk)
especially for comebacks, does anyone have any tips on how to be witty?
yea
stuff that really helped me is watching tv shows with witty people on them. for example the fresh prince of bel-air. will always has some sort of comeback and ifyou cant get that on tv look it up on youtube. you also can watch stand up comedians on comedy central. or read up on winston churchill. he was a master of wit. for example a woman said to him:
"winston churhill, if you were my husband id kill myself"
and he said
"and madam, if you were my wife,i'd let you."
winston churchill is famous for his quips and clever on the spot wit google it :)
usually when people wear eyeliner, throughout the day it doenst go underneath there eye and form a "racoon eye"
BUT IT DOES THAT TO ME!
does anyone have any reallly good suggestions?
types of eyeliner..really good waterproof ones, becuase i just bought a really cheap one the other day and it doenst really do anyhting.. it was like $5.
THANKS SO MUCH!
ehhh cheap eyeliners never really do much lol
one thing you could try to doing is getting a nicer one from a brand like mary kay. if youre still having problems with raccoon eyes, you could start using a lighter color in place of black. like for example, navy blue or olive green. experimenting with these colors is cute and will be less noticeable if they start to run, which, with a brand like mary kay, they shouldnt.
sometimes waterproof is a pain to take off btw so you might just want to go with a higher quality product
Well, I started going out with this guy a few days ago. We talked on myspace and stuff, but when we finally got to see each other at school,it's all awkward and stuff. He doesn't talk very much, and he's my brother's best friend. Now, this means that I have to start all the topics, which I CAN'T DO. Normally I'm crazy and hyper around my friends and I used to be that way around him but it's different now. It's like when we're together, he just stands there. Is there any way I can loosen up around him? I've tried being with him around my friends but it doesn't work, i'm still really quiet. Help?
ok so pretty much this same thing happened with my best friend and her boyfriend (who have now been together for over a year) when they first started going out. her boyfriend was a little shy, and even so they were just adjusting to making that switch from friends to boyfriend girlfriend and it was alittle harder for them. actually they broke up every weekend for the first month of the relationship but as they got more comfortable with each other they started to be able to deal with it. if you really like this boy and he really likes you, just chill out for a while, and things will get better as the relationship grows.
for now
i would suggest doin some one on one hanging out with this guy especially with your brother not around. the more you hang out just the two of you youll be closer and have more inside jokes, and thus, more to talk about. so go on some dates and chill out. sometimes it takes a little time to warm up to a relationship
hi everyone! ive been getting the randomest zits lately. if anyone has any idea how to get rid of them, or why i have them PLEASE let me know!
over the past week, ive gotten three little ones on the sides of my face (low wher my lips are) and they refuse to go away! no matter how much proactive i put on them.
then i have five on my opper back, and one really gross one on my front neck, right by my chest.
does anybody know why ive gotten these? i really usually have pretty clear skin, and if i get a zit its usually because i forgot to wash my face after a weekend.
i just started using another order of proactive, if that helps. i havent been getting tons of sleep (maybe 8 and a half hours) but thats not unusual for me.
any ideas?
thanks so much!
xo
p.s
13/F
youre not grossing anyone out ive had the same problem before
it probably means you need to wash your sheets/pillow
and if youve been off proactive fora while you could be having like a reaction or something
as for the sore i dont know but that sound slike a bacteria type thing
being especially thirsty means youre dehydrated or your throats dry, and as far as being sick since there seem sot be an ecess of bacteria in your body that is etirely possible
also the thig on your leg is probably an ingrown hair
pimples on legs dont really happen. more than one of these could be igrown hairs as well
put the proactive facial mask on the ones you think are pimples
Whats the name of that magician that died because of a magic trick he was doing and then he never came back?
is it like .. somthing "Houdini"?
No its not HARRY Houdini.. cuz that guy died because of getting kicked in the nuts i think
but thats not my point.. my point is....
whats the name of the magician that died and he was like supposedly the greatest magician??
and hhe died because of a stunt he was doing and never came back
im really curiouss! I researched and it didnt even help... i couldnt find him!
ok darling heres the scoop.
there is only one houdini. serioulsy. only one, and that is harry houdini.
harry houdini died due to a blow to the stomach. he used to perform a trick where he would flex his powerful stomach muscles and allow strong men to punch him in the gut. because his abs were so strong he would not be harmed no matter how hard he was punched. he died when a man approached him and punched him in the gut and he wasnt prepared so he didnt have time to flex his abs. his organs were then ruptured.
Ok. Why is like 90% of the male population completely obsessed with the movie fight club? I mean its a good movie, i like it, but it seems like some people are almost obsessed with it to a point where its just rediculous. answers from anybody but mostly guys appreciated!
because the movie is all about channeling male agression. the whole "fight club" idea he has in the movie is so men can get out their pent up anger. this is a concept that is really appealing to males. it idolizes everything the primal instincts of a male are all about: fighting and aggression, womanizing (hence the whole affair with that one chick where like all they do is bang all day every day), and later the destruction of corporate america with project mayhem, is something that probably a lot of teenage guys like to see. also the movie is a cool concept with cool actors edward norton and brad pitt in it, but these are the main reasons why it may be classified as a "guy movie"
Ok my boyfriend and I havent been going out very long but we liked eachother and knew we did for about a month and a half before he asked me out. Now I still care about him quite a bit and I like him but im really confused. I know this sounds confusing but I dont really know if im happy with him. With my last boyfriend I was really happy, I was walking around smiling every single day now its like.. im not super excited to see him and im not trying hard to, and when he leaves like after he comes over its no big deal to me. When im with him of course i care about him quite a bit but it kind of seems a bit.. empty.
What I mean is if you have ever heard the song Together by Avril Lavigne thats kind of how i feel sometimes. I dont know what to do since I still care about him and we havent been going out long so I dont want people to think im jsut going from guy to guy, also if we do break up theres a dance next thursday he wants me to go to, and then the 14th is Valentines Day so i dont want to do it at a really bad time. I dont know if I should give it more time or not.
Hes really sweet and he cares about me alot, and is always trying to impress me, and hes whipped. Hes a bit perverted which gets me mad but I guess its expected. Any ideas what I should do? Im sorry this is so long but I really dont know.
Thanks for reading
ok first of all
don't let hte avril lavigne song affect you too much. because ive done this too, when you start thinking about something and one song just seems to explain it all, you convince yourself that what is happening is exactly what is happening in the song. and dont let valentines day affect you either. i had this exact same experience almost, and i broke up with him on christmas eve. its not cold, its almost more fair. why waste your time or his if youre not truly happy? life is too short. just give it a little thought and if you think its worth it, stick with it. if not, tell him youre unsure about the relationship and move on. if its meant to be you can come back to it
i have been dating my borfriend for a year and 3 months and we are very happy and in love with each other. i am a senior and he is a junior. he has dreamed of going to college in north dakota and a long time. we live in texas. i applied to all texas schools and i want to be a teacher. the ND school he wants is a very good teacher school. when he becomes a freshman he wants me to transfer. i really love him and i would love to go to college with him. but its so cold, so far, and my best friend wants me to go to college with her. i know i should decide this, but if you were in my shoes would you go with him?
I know it sounds cliche, but I would say follow your heart. If you really love this boy then go for it, but also consider that youve only been dating for a year. college is ideally four years long, and it seems like at this point in the relationship you would like to think that youll be together forever, but also consider how young you are. Going to college with him cuts off a lot of options for you. It may not seem like it now but you guys might have problems, and then youll be stuck in a school in a different state away from your friends and family with a boy who doesnt care. will it be worth it? i had to ask myself this too.
School talent show and i am drawing a blank on what to do something creative (funny or stupid)and thats about 2-3 minutes please help!
thanks
well you could always do a short comedy skit? those are usually popular if you can think of a good one. or a song parody those are popular. like think singing and/or acting out a weird al song type thing. be creative. im sure if you and a few friends get together and think about it you'll come up with some other good suggestions. example?
one time some friends of mine did a parody of the Oprah show in our talent show and it was hilarious. It used about five people and they pretended to interview the crocodile hunter. stuff like that that isnt too esoteric gets the best response from an audience
