I'm not allowed to do anything with my leg or arm hair. My parents think it will grow back thicker no matter how much I convince them. I also have kind of sensetive skin I guess? Well, I need every possible way to get rid of leg hair. Every time I look at my legs, theres either more hair, or getting thick. My parents think shaving will make it grow back thicker, the hair removal cream will harm my skin, and waxing, they think its bad?
If you can please help, then can you please please please list these :
- Positives and Negatives for every possible way to remove body hair
- If you tried any, then please list the comments
- Some ways to convince my parents to buying them
My parents dont even have leg hair, my dad does, so I guess it genetics. Otherwise, they still dont let me. Any advice would help. Thanks ;♥ (link)

well, your parents are right, it really will grow thicker, unless you use the really expensive hair removal methods. i don't know how old you are, but maybe it's a good idea to wait. when i was 13, i shaved, going against my parents recommendations because of peer pressure, but when i became just old enough to not care so much about what people think, i realized that my hair is actually really thin and light compared to most people's and really there shouldn't be anything wrong with me not shaving if i don't want to, so i stopped. i don't think there's any way you can convince your parents that it's okay, but you can convince them that you have the right to learn on your own mistakes - they might be more likely to go with that argument because adults like it when you recognize that they're probably right.

i have a problem. ive been friends with this kid 'tom'. we're really, really close, and i just recently found out he likes me because he told one of my friends, who eventually told me. i was shocked, yet happy at the same time. Ever since i found this out, we have been together all the time in school. [in the halls, ect.] we also have a couple classes together and we text all the time in class. =X, ha, anyways, i have concluded that i really like him, alot, which is great for me because ive had trouble likeing someone ever since my last relationship i was in.[it was terrible.] But, theres one problem, hes 100% mexican, and pretty dark. Im irish, and my dad has a huge problem, and won't let me date anyone who's 'not white'. This bothers me because he is honestly, one of the nicest, and best friend i could ever ask for, and i really, really like him, and would love to date him. But i know my dad wouldn't approve. How could i try to talk to my dad about allowing me to be with him ? =/ (link)

that really depends on how undertanding your dad can be, and you know him best, so it's up to you to decide whether you have a chance at convincing him or not. try to pose some questions that may make him think about it, without telling him that you want to date this guy. ask him to explain to you why he feels that way about people of other races. ask him if he actually knows and is friends with anyone who is not white. ask him how he would feel if you had a friend who wasn't white (make it sound as hypothetical as you possibly can, like "just wondering" sort of thing). if you think that it is possible to make some positive progress in that area, let that guy know that you're interested in dating him and that you have this problem with your dad. introduce him as a good friend first. if you think your dad is okay with him, explain to him carefully that you're interested in that kid, and see how things go from there. if this kind of progress is impossible and you really really like him anyway, then just date him secretely. i don't know how you feel about keeping a secret like that from your parents, but if you can, maybe try that. i know, that can be really horrible idea and you might not want to do that, but it's up to you.

Hi!
Yea, so I'm doing a persuasive, three to five page report on why Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (the composer of the Nut Cracker) should be in a hall of fame. I've got all my facts.. but I really don't know why he should be in..
Does anyone have any ideas? Please!? =P (link)
|
well lets see, he wrote amazing music that is now listened to all over the world, so in a way it's unifying people everywhere. i think if millions of people are able enjoy his music, that's saying something. through him other people can get a certain aspect of the russian culture, and that's pretty cool.
also, he was a gay russian composer. not only did life suck really bad for him to begin simply because he wasn't really into ladies, but he was forced to commit suicide because of that (if you've really got all your facts, you should know that). so he was an innocent victim of social injustice in this world, one with am amazing talent. i think that's something too.

Phewf. Okay. 15/f. (This is coming from a girl who has NEVER had sex...and won't for a long time)
Okay. I like guys. I like girls too, though. I would love to have a relationship with a guy. ANYTHING EXCEPT having ANYTHING to do with male genitalia....It just GROSSES me out COMPLETELY. Yet, I don't find myself a lesbian. I just CANNOT imagine being penetrated by a guy/oral sex, etc. I find it utterly disgusting (forgive me If this is offending). But....on the other hand, I would also LOVE to have a relationship with a girl..and the thing is - I DON'T MIND being sexual with a girl at all! It's like - BRING IT ON. (lol)...I find this very strange. But I get extremely aroused when I see a picture of a naked woman....or something. But, when I (if ever) get to see a naked man...I'm just grossed out. It's as if, with a guy....it's only everything ABOVE his pants, that I am "optimistic" about. AND HERE'S ANOTHER PROBLEM - I don't want sex with a guy, But I want a baby in the future! With a girl...it's flat out, straight - "BRING IT ON". Am I normal?
Help, please? (link)
| |
well straight girls sometimes feel weird around male genetalia as well, but you may be more inclined towards women. if you are - it's normal, there's nothing wrong about being a lesbian. but you may eventually grow out of it, it might just be a teen thing. just try dating both guys and girls, maybe have sex with a girl (if you're not ready to be penetrated by a guy), see if anything changes about the way you feel. and if you are a lesbian, it doesn't mean you can't have babies - there's always sperm banks and all that stuff =)

I am in a odd relationship. the two of us (im m/16) and she (f/17) mutually like eachother. she keeps telling me she wants to cuddle. usually i am busy or out at night, and she calls and says how she just wants to cuddle. I have never had sex with her and not 100% sure on what she is asking. some advice on what to respond to her with, and what to actually do would be great. much obliged (link)
| |
well when i cuddle with someone it means something like laying on a couch together, petting each other's hair, spooning, hugging, etc. you know, snuggling. she may be hoping for more, but that's what cuddling really means. just sit down on a couch and invite her to sit on your lap, wrap your arm around her, change positions... maybe talk about something. cuddling is really pleasant =)

if you only make yourself throw up like 3-4 times a week, and you dont over eat before you make yourself throw up, are you still considered to have bullemia? (link)
| |
well, technically, if you follow the exact definition of bulemia, you're not bulimic because you don't do binge eating and you don't purge too often. however, it's not really important what it is and isn't called, because this is still dangerous since it could escalate to bulimia nervosa and it's bad for your health either way. it sounds like you're at a stage where it wouldn't be too hard to stop, so please please please, do yourself a huge favor and stop now.

So, i decided to ask my boyfriend of 5 months if he likes any one else. Well, at first he kinda wasnt answering me straight and then he went to get a drink at the water fountation and then hes like not really i was like its a yes or no question and he got another drink and i was like hello! answer me hes like i told you yes. When he kept saying not really. and so he told me and stuff. And i said something like why dont you go out with her then and hes like well because shes dating somebody and i was like what?? thats your only reason?? and hes like no and because shes half black and stuff but you would think he'd be like well no because i love you and stuff butt NO.
ugh.
what should i do?
Thanks (link)

i'm sorry to be judgemental, but from the insident you described, your broyfriend sounds like a racist asshole and an idiot. i don't think someone like that is worth any girl's time. just ask him the question: are you staying with me only because you can't get someone else? tell him how his previous reply about the girl he liked made you feel and break up with him.

I am 15/f. I can almost always predict when I will be ill with a fever (before I get the fever...) because all of a sudden I can smell this certain scent that I never smell whenever I'm feeling well. It's sort of a sickly almost bodyodor-like smell and it drives me nuts! I know there is probably nothing I can do about it, but what causes this? I am very hygienic and take a shower every day. Is my nose becoming more sensitive to weird smells as I become ill? Or am I emitting some different type of odor when I'm sick? I asked my friends if I smell different (haha, I know, weird) and they said I smell like soap. Thanks! (link)
| |
i think that just means you have an extremely sensitive sence of smell. people do smell differently when they're about to get a fever, a seisure, a heart attac, etc. however, human nose is normally too dull to be able to pick that up - animals can though. and then some people just have sharper sences than others - smell, hearing, vision... i bet it's pretty rare though. and hey, having a warning when you're about to get a fever can be a pretty convenient. think of it as a mini-superpower =)

I heard that going on an organic diet helps you loose weight fast. But what is an organic diet? What foods do you eat? (link)
|
means you mainly eat foods that are organic. organic foods are those that were grown and/or produced without the use of any superficial chemicals, substances and processes. they have a sign on them, "usda organic":
http://www.tjrecipes.com/nucleus/media/1/20060520-2005_11_04-USDA-organic.jpg
i've never heard about organic foods making you lose weight, but they certainly are extremely good for you. and perhaps having fewer toxins in your body does make you lose weight.
however, be aware of the fact that organic food is not cheap. the reason is because 1 - farmers use artificial subtances because it's cheaper and faster, and 2 - organic growers have to go through a really tedious legal process to prove that their food is indeed organic.

is it worth going to college if you're not sure what career you wanna pursue? (link)
| |
i go to college and most of my friends have changed their majors at least once. i know some people who are juniors and are still undeclared because they still don't know what they want to do! once you're there, you'll have all sorts of opportunities to figure out what you want to do. take lots of classes that sound interesting, go to carrer counceling. it's a perfectly normal problem that very many people have, don't worry about it so much. try to work down from more general areas: are you interested in liberal arts? fine arts? natural sciences? business? if you have no idea, just go take any classes that appeal to you at all, and eventually you'll find something that sounds like more fun than other things.

well last night i had this dream ;it was me and this kid. he was totally perfect for me. nice and georgous and everything. i didnt know him though (in real life). and in my dream me and him were making out ;he was really good lmao. anyway no matter what though he wouldnt give me his name or number all he would say was ill see you tommorow. hes been on my mind all day trying to figure out who he is. he seriously was perfect thats why i think he was my soulmate. was it really. or was it someone my mind wants just resembling it in a different person's body? or something. please help me. (link)
|
dreams are dreams. your mind is just trying to process all that subconscious information... perhaps you were dreaming of the kind of person that your mind thinks is perfect for you, and that's all there was to it. of course, if you believe in prophetic dreams, who knows... =)
i think this webcomic is relevant:

there's this one science question, and i think i have an idea, but i'm not completely sure.
which of these is an example of a completet and balanced chemical equation and why?
a. H20 --> H2 + O2
b. NaCl + H2O
c. Fe + S --> FeS
d. CaCO3
**all of the numbers are subscripts.
thank you! (link)
| |
it's (c). an equation is when you have something on one side equal to something on the other side. (b) and (d) don't work because it's not an equation - there's nothing on the other side. (a) isn't balanced because because you have one oxygen on one side and two oxygens on the other. in (c) you have one sulfur and one iron on one side, and one sulfur and one iron on the other, so it is a balanced equation.

There is this boy in my class, he is not really my friend but I don't really know him. Then there are these other two really immature guys who ALWAYS make fun of him. Like they never shutup. Its really annoying to me and Im sure to him too. Like they always talk about how "small" he is and like the boys mom own a restaraunt so the two stupid kids always say "oh that place is disgusting." and then one time we weren;t supposed to do something in class and we had a sub and there was a sign that said "do not use the computers" so the two boys got on them and were messing around and as soon as the sub walked in they were like "What the hell Jimmy why did you take the sign off? and the sub got really mad at him when he really didnt do anything. They are just really mean to him and I feel bad cause noone sticks up for him not even his friends. These mean guys are really popular so you would get like beat up if you ever stood up to them. I just wish i didnt have to sit back and watch someone get stepped all over. Have any advice? (link)

i've been in your exact situation in elementary school. i ended up standing up to the bully to defend the boy he was bothering, and he pushed me over and gave me a concussion - i had to stay at home for two weeks. i talked to the bully ten years later, and he said "oh yea, i remember that..." i asked him why he did it and all he said was "well because, he was such a loser!" so as you can see, people who do things like that are practically hopeless, don't try getting anything through their thick sculls, especially since it may endanger your safety and social status, apparently. instead, try being friendly to the boy. after they do something ask him "hey, are you okay? don't listen to anything they say/ they're such jerks/ just ignore them." maybe offer/ask for help with homework, ask him how his day was... nothing special, just show him that at least you don't like the fact that he's getting hurt, it'll matter more than you know.

so im going for my driving test soon. i get really worked up and nervous when i drive. well, i should change that, when i park. im just not a great parallel parker and i know that's a big part of the test. i shouldn't get down on myself, because i only really tried once with garabage cans. i just get too worked up. im not a fan of driving and i dont really like it. i see it as extremely dangerous and not something for me. i know its a privledge to have a license but almost everyone in my grade has theirs [im 17 btw]. if you don't, they're like "uhh..you dont have your license?" idk it just seems like a huge thing here or maybe every where. i know its important to drive, but i dont want to feel rushed and i do feel rushed because your permit expires in a year, which might seem like a long time but it isnt for a person who has a hard time with it because of their nerves. any advice or tips?? thanks!! (link)
|
i sort of had the same problem (still do - i have very little driving experience even though i have a lisence, and every time i'm at the wheel i feel very anxious and alert.)
first of all, try not to worry about the peer pressure so much. who cares what they think, if they believe that a driver's lisence is just about the prestiege, then those people aren't worth even talking to. getting your lisence is about responsibility and necessity. try to think - when are you going to absolutely have to drive? now work with that deadline, instead of one year - permits can be easily renewed.
now about anxiety. whenever you sit down at the wheel, just try to relax. check yourself every now and then to make sure that your muscles aren't stiff, that your neck and shoulders aren't tight. take deep breaths whenever you feel really nervous. always practice with someone who you feel safe around - if your parents have a tendency to make you nervous (i know my dad does), try to find someone else who could help you instead; someone who will notice that you're beginning to freak out and check you by saying "relax, it's okay, take a deep breath", and who won't yell at you "watch that car, watch that car!!!!"
as for parallel parking - just practice some more with garbage cans until you feel like you can do it. don't worry, the more you practice driving, the safer and the more relaxed you feel doing it. once it's an automatic skill (and it will become automatic once you've practiced enough), it'll feel perfectly fine.
good luck! =)

i want to be completely open and honest with people. that means that if i'm having trouble moving on after someone rejected me and feel like i need to talk to him - i should conquer my embarrasment of letting him know that it bothers me as much as it does, and talk to him, right? especially since he's a very understanding person and can probably tell it's bothering me, anyway.
right? or is it maybe not worth it and i should just try to move on by avoiding him? (which, by the way, would be really hard, because we live in a tightly-knit community of 100 ppl). i want to be friends with him, but i'm scared that maybe he doesn't care =/ last thing i want is for him to lie to me to avoid hurting my feelings. (link)
| |
talk to him and move on
|
|
i am thinking about moving out from my mom's house soon because i really cannot take her attitude anymore. there is always something coming up with her and i just don't want to deal with it anymore because i am sensitive and i am not the fighter type of person and whenever she is hurt about something she does not like me do she gets all fighty and i loose. sorry if this sounds like not important. (link)
| |
it does sound important, but you didn't ask a question. do want advice on whether or not you should move out, how you can move out, or what you can do instead of moving out?.. please make an update/addition to this question to specify, then maybe others will answer it too!

|
I don't get why my mom wants to critizise what I do all of the time. I don't even show her what I do. It's making me think I am depressed or something. It's making me cry and I know people would only talk to someone like that when they want to critizise them. I can't take it anymore. I am not even in control of my own appearance because of her. She either wants this or that it doesn't make any sense. I don't want to be with her anymore but I can't find a job. Everything she says makes me so angry. SHe won't stop at all. (link)
| |
honey, i really don't know if i can give you a very good advice on this one, why don't you make this question public? i don't have these problems with my parents, i talk - they listen. or they try to, anyway.
|
|
I called a hot line for crisis and abuse and I talked to the person there and I don't get why when I tell something they don't seem to help. They just ask questions like so what are you going to do about that? If I knew I wouldn't have called. Even one time this woman told me were a crisis line we talks about peoples problems. I came there to talk about problems and she acts like I am stupid or something. I can't stand my mom though. (link)
| |
that's just how therapy and hotlines work - the person isn't there to tell you what to do, but to help you work out your problems yourself. they pose questions, then rephrase what you've just said, hoping that maybe if you see it in a different perspective, it'll help you deal with it. that's why a lot of people don't like them. just don't call them expecting that they're going to say "well, here's what you should do about your mom: first..." just think of them more as an aide to your own thinking process.

Well, I really like this guy and i have been likeing him for a lonnnnng time now! And i went up to him and i told him that i liked him and he really didnt responde just kinda said thanks. But i mean it just seem like fate has been bringing us together even my friends notice it!!!
i mean he said i was cute but thats it. I have tried to move on by liking other guys but thoese guys arent really intreasted in me but when ever a guy likes me there usally not my type! when will mr.perfect come along. and i havent even had my first kiss and all my friends have already done that actually i think ever one in my school has had there first kiss.
and its not like im an ugly duckling i guess im pretty since my friends and ppl i dont even know say im and the guy i like thinks i am he's just not intreasted!
WHAT DO I DO TO GET THIS GUY!! BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE I TRIED EVERYTHING!! HOW DO I GET MY FIRST KISS???? WHY DO I ALWAYS GET THE GUYS IM NOT INTRESTED IN BUT THE GUYS I LIKE ARENT INTREASTED IN ME??? (link)
|
well, i'm in a similar situation, except i'm in college. the guy i liked found me attractive and even cuddled with me a few times, but i could tell he was not interested. but you know what, after i talked to him, and cleared things up - that yes i like him a lot, and that no, he really isn't interested in me that way - i felt so much better! so maybe try talking to him again, and actually ask the queston - do you like me back? it's not as scary as it seems at first. and hey, maybe he IS interested in at least getting to know you better or something.
as for finding other guys... i feel your pain. i guess all you can do is try to meet more people, and get to know better those around you. patience is very important. try not to think about keeping up with your friends. i didn't get my first real kiss untill i was 17, and it wasn't even with someone i liked very much - if i had more patience, i may have waited a little longer, and had a better experience with my first kiss. it's so hard not to feel pressured by what others are doing, but think of it this way - the fact that you're not there yet doesn't mean that something's wrong, it just means that life hasn't given you that chance yet, or that you have more patience or higher expectations than others. it'll happen in its own time =)
