okay so i was using a nut cracker to crack some nuts and you know how you have to put your hand over it so the shell wont fly everywhere? well i put my hand over it and it pinched my hand it hurt and it started to bleed to it didnt break my skin it kinda just bleed under my skin. Well this happened like 4 days ago and well now it's a dried up blood dark red color spot on my hand. So now im wondering is this thing going to go away? because i dont want it to stay on my hand it's gross looking. i mean it's under the kin so i cant pick at it.But yeah so im just wondering if it will go away soon? like will itabsorb back into my body? lol

thanks in advance!

It sounds like you got a blood blister...

I've had one of these before when I pinched my finger, and it popped up right after it happened but then it went back down into my skin and was just a red spot, like you've described. It goes away after awhile. All the blood dries up and the skin underneath it replaces it. Don't worry about it!

i recently lost a lot, a lot of weight. i use to weigh like 120 and now i weigh 94. i have always watched what i eat excessively. like, it's not even natural how much i watch what i eat. i would count every calorie that came NEAR my mouth. But, lately, it's like i've lost control. I don't know if it's that my sugar is REALLY low, which I do have low blood sugar because I'm hypoglycemic, but I've been wanting to eat everything in sight. It's horrible. I mean, the little bit of self control I have left is what's saving me. But, it's like I NEED sugar. I get cravings for brownies in the middle of the night. obviously, i don't have any because I don't buy brownies in my house. but, it's like, if they were there, i would have had them. and today, for lunch, i had ice cream and cookies with my sandwich. like, i know it's not going to make that big of a difference when you're 94 pounds. but, i use to have an eating disorder, and i would only eat 600 calories a day. i know it's not healthy, but I don't want to blow all the work I did. I mean, i go to the gym every day, but it's just that i'm so HUNGRY lately. Is there anything I can do to reduce my apetite? please let me know. you would be most helpful. Thank you.

There's a reason you've been feeling so hungry. It's because your body needs more food! And the fact that you have recently lost about 20% of your body weight certainly proves that. It's ok for you to eat more, in fact, I feel it is highly important that you do. Eat more of the same stuff you eat though, since I assume you eat very healthy foods. And I am not familiar with hypoglycemia so I can't give you very good advice on what you should do about your sugar cravings incase they aren't suitable for the condition you are in. That being said, I hope you are communicating with your doctor about your blood sugar and what you are doing to treat it. Good luck to you!

I am a junior in high school in Virginia and my GPA currently is a 4.3. I have decided that I would like to attend a small but prestigious university with strong chemical-engineering and music programs. My favorite high school activity is marching band. However, most of the private universities have scatter bands instead of real marching bands. If I love marching band, should I deter select colleges like U of C and Harvard from my application list just because they do not have true marching bands? If you have any suggestions of universities and colleges that you think my description fits, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think if you love marching band, then you should not choose a school that doesn't have one (simple as that). There are many prestigious schools that aren't as small as U of C or Harvard that have marching bands. Check online at collegeboard.com and search for the more selective medium sized schools... for example, Vanderbilt, or Stanford. I don't know for a fact if they have marching bands but I would imagine they do, and I know they are great academically!

so i weigh about 115, 5'5. female 18.

why do guys love girls who are so flexible for sex? because of different positions or what? also since i'm a virgin i was just wondering, is it helpful to be in shape? i mean yes, i'm a very skinny girl but i am not in shape really. i get tired when i run for like 2 minutes haha. is this bad for sex? maybe i'm just thinking if your more in shape, you will have more stamina which will help you last longer in bed? i don't know, am i thinking all wrong?

No, you're right. The better in shape you are, the more energy you will have, and you will probably feel sexier. Even if you are skinny now, just getting toned will help you to look/feel sexy. And being flexible goes along with that. If you are flexible, you can move around more easily and you are capable of doing different things and changing it up.

i'm throwing a party for my friend for her sweet sixteen. there will only be like 30 or so people there. i'm making the playlist. i've pretty much raided the internet (google, top song charts, youtube) for like techno / trance / eurodance / house / club / dance / electronic songs (cause those are the genres that people dance to -- i want everyone around and moving!), but if you guys were going to a cool upbeat party, what song / songs would you DEFINITELY want to hear? (NO COUNTRY / JAZZ / CLASSICAL / DEPRESSING SONGS)

list as many as you'd like! :)

artists i have:
katy perry, all-american rejects, basshunter, coldplay, jack's mannequin, britney spears, M.I.A., kanye west, leona lewis, onerepublic, the shins, mgmt, lady gaga, flo-rida, soulja boy, and young love (as well as other DJs who have their own remixes).

i have every song on the "top iTunes list" when you google for the list, but what were some RECENTLY popular songs? (e.g., soulja boy was a huge hit)

thank you!

my favorite is "untouched" by the veronicas!
beyonce has some good dance songs too
and akon- right now na na na is good
T.I. and Lil Wayne (of course) have a ton of stuff... it's endless!

18/f
so i use to be close to this girl. but we went to different schools and we just...stopped talking for awhile. well then we hung out every now and then and then stopped talking again and lately she was asking what i was doing because she wanted to get together, and i was always busy. so last night i texted her and was like, what are you doing tomorrow night? we should go to dinner and she was like yeah!! and so then tonight i met up with her at a restaurant and we were catching up on everything, and i was like oh you got a new phone and she was like ya! here look, and she gave it to me. well i was looking at everything and i went to her texts and i saw that she was like talking about me to another friend (i use to talk to her too) and she was texting her about how i asked her to go to dinner out of no where, and how it's all awkward and the girl was like ask her about college and she was like well then what!! and she was like it's just awkward. i didn't think it was awkward at all and so when i saw that i was like wow i feel stupid now. she is talking about me to someone else, saying how it was random how i asked to go to dinner, and how it's all awkward (but it really wasn't?) and i told her like everything that was going on in my life, all my problems and everything i've been going through and now i was like okay..sweet. guess i can't trust anyone anymore? i just wanted to leave after that because i felt so stupid. i don't know what to do. am i stupid for feeling so dumb about this?

I wouldn't say that just yet...

I'm guilty of what that girl did, to be honest, except the guy didn't find out about it. I would text my friends about a guy I liked saying he was weird and that he was obsessive about me just because I didn't want to admit I liked him... and I didn't want anyone to think I liked him, even though I liked him tons, ended up dating him, and basically fell in love with him. So, it could be possible that the girl just wanted to draw attention to herself, and so she made up stuff about how it was going. I mean, it's definitely more entertaining for friends to talk about awkward boys than normal ones. Chill out, if everything seemed to be going fine, then I'm sure you guys were fine.

so i like this boy and he likes me a lot but im also hearing theres this other girl who likes him but i dont know how he feels about her. what are some things i could do to win him over?

Ask him out!
(if you're one of the really brave-confident types)

If you're not, and you're like me, then just step up your game and flirt with him more! Try to connect with him more, become a closer friend, invite him to parties etc. Then, maybe you could ask him out :D

Don't worry about the other girl, all you care about is the guy anyways!

When I try to perform a song...there's a disconnect between what I'm singing & how I'm feeling. I need some advice on how to captivate myself in the emotions the artist wants me to feel.
Particularly, "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack.
what is it about?
thanks!

This song is about someone who is encouraging someone they love to live their life to the fullest. It could fit a variety of situations, and your goal is to find how it applies to your life. When she says "When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance," she is saying that it is up to you to choose how you will live, and I hope you choose a happy, fulfilling life.

Find a way to put this into your perspective:
If you are a mother, then this could be a way of you saying that you want the very best for your children.
If you or a close friend are going through hard times, this song could be a way of giving them/yourself courage to make it through.
If you know someone who is unhappy, this could be your way of saying you wish them to find happiness.

Just find a way to make this song meet your personal circumstances and you will naturally find a connection.

well i have a problem with my hair it is naturally curl and thick....
it is hard to straghten what are some ways to make not so firzzy and thick looking

please help and if you can give me ideas to wear it that would be great

That's how mine is. I just got it cut, and what I did was I cut it so that it sits right above my shoulders. I also got it thinned out, which is a MUST if you're going to go short like I did. Even if you leve it long I would still recommend getting it thinned. To help the frizz, I use Redken's "fresh-curl" product when my hair is wet, and I let it air dry because blow drying can frizz it out more. I hope this helped!

Ikno its wrong but everytime i eat i feel likei need 2 sleep
I Dont sleep RIGHT AWAYT someties i wait a half hour sometimes 20 minutes then igo take a nap...is it bad? i heard u could gain fat.
But i workout everyday
im not trying to lose weight btw
i just dont want to gain.
I work out everydayy so yeah could it affect anything? thanks.

No it's not bad. It's normal to feel sleepy after eating, especially a large meal, because your body is using its energy to digest your food, so you may feel weak or even cold (because a lot of your blood is circulating to the stomach rather than your extremities). You will not gain weight from sleeping after you eat, as long as you're working out regularly and eating healthy. Hope this answered your question.

So, i have a really bad case of procrastination. I really need help with how to fight it, because that is the reason im not a 4.0 student, i am at 3.95, and would really like to not feel guilty about not doing work, and eating instead. Thanks for your help!!!!!!
-molly

I have a similar problem... what I'm trying to do is I set aside a specific time when I HAVE to sit down and work. So say I get home at 4:00- I'll give myself 30 minutes to chill and do whatever, but then at 4:30 I force myself to start on my homework- and I do the stuff that's due sooner first. Try to make this a habit and do it everyday.

ok, my boyfriend of like 2 weeks told me today that he loved me.. i was kinda speechless and didn't end up saying anything because i was so taken back by it. its not that i don't love him, i just don't really know yet, its only been 2 weeks and this is my first relationship. anyway, what does that exactly say about him (saying that he loves me so early in the relationship) and what can i say next time he says that to be that won't hurt his feelings or anything like that? if anyone could help me out a bit, that would be great, thanks in advance for your advice :)

Whatever you do, don't say you love him if you don't because (I know from experience) that will leave you dissatisfied and eventually things will fall apart because it feels like you two have nowhere else to go. The fact that he tells you he loves you so early doesn't necessarily say anything about him:

1. He could be telling the truth and he has fallen for you already.

2. He could be just trying to be really sweet and please you in anyway, not really thinking about the implications of what he's saying.

3. He could be making it up just so you will swoon over him, and hopefully make the relationship move along a little quicker (this would be a player).

Next time he says that, I would suggest you say that you are appreciative, and you are lucky to have him- however, you aren't sure of your feelings yet and you want to be totally honest with him. Remember, you aren't obligated to return the "I love you" just because he said it, and it's only been two weeks so it's not unreasonable either.

for my chemistry homework, i have to find denstity, mass, and volume. im stuggling with three problems..
1. the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm cubed. what is the mass of 11.3 cm cubed of gold?

2. the density of ice is .917 g/cm cubed. how much volume does 52.3 g of ice occupy?

3. if 1.35 g of aluminum occupies .500 cm cubed. what is the density of aluminum?

for number 1, how do i find the mass from the density? for 2, how do i find the volume from the density? and then for 3, how do i find the density if i dont know the mass and volume?

thanks!=]

The equation for density is: density=mass/volume.

Therefore, for #1: 19.3= m/11.3
To solve, multiply both sides by 11.3 to get m by itself, and then you should get m= 19.3*11.3

For #2: d= m/v
So... .917= 52.3/v
Solve for v and you should get: v=52.3/.917

For #3: d=m/v

d= 1.35/.500, simply divide and you get your density :)

I hope this makes sense, if not I'm willing to help out more- just leave me a note.

im with a girl now and i love her but their is this other girl that every time i see her or talk to her i fall harder for her making me want to leave my curret girl what do i do????

I would suggest that you and your current girl take a break until you figure out how you feel, because right now it sounds like you are just confused. You may be falling for the other girl simply because you are bored with your current girl, and you crave something new. Once you take a break, if you really love the girl you are with now, then you will know because you will miss her and you will want to be with her more. If you find yourself thinking about the other girl more, then go ahead and start over with a clean slate and see what happens when you are with her.

okay so my boyfriend and i go to different schools.
i have two of his sweatshirts. and he really hates not being able to see me all the time.
so he said he thinks it would be a lot easier if he had something of mine to remind him of me.
any ideas of something i could give him? ....not underwear/bras....
thanks.

maybe a ring, or a necklace... even if he doesn't really wear those type of things he'll appreciate having it with him :)

hey i need some help here
ok my boyfreind is really freaking me out we've only been dating two months and he already wants to Marry me?? plus he argues and treats me like shit
but i dont have the heart to dump him. im not one to break peoples hearts
so i wanna get him to dump me unpainfully to him
any ideas

You already have the evidence you need to break up with him. It's one thing if you want to dump him if he hasn't done anything wrong. It's fine to dump him if he's been treating you wrong. Especially if you've brought it up with him and he still hasn't changed. Don't bring yourself down to his level and try to get him to think poorly of you, it's not fair to your own reputation as a person. Just tell him you enjoyed the time you spent together but you guys have been struggling lately and you aren't happy in the relationship anymore (state your reasons, be as specific as necessary). Tell him that his dreams of getting married are making you uncomfortable, and you need some room because you aren't ready for that sort of thing. If you want to, just take a break. But if you REALLY want out then end it right there and move on. You'll be fine; breaking up with someone doesn't make you a mean person. You are just doing what you need to do in order to ensure your happiness. It's ok, and good luck!

I got this top the other day and I was wondering if it's ok to wear to school..or is it too smart-like?
It's not dress length by the way. It's normal top length :)

What do you think? Too formal for school?
We don't have a dress code, we can wear whatever we want. I usually wear pretty tops like that but I'm not sure :P

definitely not too formal!! go for it, it's adorable :D

16/f. I'm a pretty healthy girl..I eat normally, my weight is fine for my age (136 pounds..although this info might not be needed :P)
But what bothers me is that when I wake up in the mornings, no matter HOW much sleep I get (I could get 10 hours..which is what I've gotten for the whole summer now!)..I still have eyebags..and my eyes are squinty like..and my face is pale...and overall, I just look blegh. It takes about a good 3 hours for me to look like myself...and makeup doesn't help much. Does anyone have any tips on looking 'pretty' in the morning? Like when school starts...it'd be a nightmare looking like I do sometimes :P
I also drink a lot of water throughout the day, could this be the reason for the eyebags and exhausted look? I don't look refreshed..I look exhausted =\

Your eyes being "squinty like" is probably because they are puffy and this could be because you have to much sodium in your diet.
Sodium (salt) causes your body to retain water if eaten in excess, so just make sure you're not eating too much salt during the day...

Also, right when you get up, splash some cold water on your face and dab your eyes with it. I find it refreshing, and it wakes me up quickly.
