advice
Ok so if my brother is always being stupid like always in my stuff he wont leave me alone he's younger than me and how or what do i do too get him to stop please help me he's driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s normal to have problems with younger siblings. So whenever conflict with your sibling arises, don’t think of it as something that can only end in victory or defeat. Look for a compromise instead. Meet in the middle so you can both live, without misery, under the same roof.
Most importantly choose a quiet moment to discuss any issues you have with them, because when you're calm in your approach then at least you can expect the same in their response. So avoid raising all of your issues in the middle of a heated argument. Then, once you're both communicating, try to identify the problems in your relationship and see if there's a way you can both avoid or overcome them.
If you’ve exhausted all efforts to get along, it might be time to call the 'rents’ in and have a family meeting to work out a solution. And don’t hesitate to get your parents involved if there is any physical violence going on.

hey guys! i was wonderign if anyone here was on a flag team at their school. i hav camp in a week or two and i wanted to know what they usually teach at the camps? thank you
I am guessing you mean color guard, where the people spin flags (sometimes sabres and rifles) on the football field with the marching band. Sometimes, known as "the flag team" but not always. If not, I am sorry, but this is PROBABLY it so.. I am in my school's color guard and at the camps we usually learn the basics like spinning and small tosses. They also teach the routine you perform out on the football field with the marching bands (in the half-time of the football games). At the camps they go very slow at first for the new people, so don't worry if you are new. :) Hope I helped!
please please help me. my hair has been horrible my whole life and i absolutely hate it. it is extremely thick frizzy wavy and coarse. i try straightning it and it gets straight but then it just gets frizzy. i think its damaged. i dont know. ive tried all kinds of frizz control and shampoo and conditioner that makes your hair smoother but it doesnt work.do you know of anything that will help my hair? i dont want to go to a hairdresser or anything but is there just really good hair products that you could get at like walmart or something? please help me. i really need your help.
My friend has that same type of hair. She straightens it and it just ends up becoming frizzy and wavy again. You might try asking your stylist (hair cutter, hair lady, i forget what to call them lol)if there is anything that can help control your hair type. I think that there are some kinds of hair products just for your hair type to help control.

Good luck! :) e
Okay, so at night when I'm trying to sleep, my left thigh just will not relax no mattter what position I'm in. It's not really tight, but it's just distracting, and It keeps me from going to sleep as fast as normal. This has been happening the past few months. Any ideas about what it is and how to make it relax?
Have you talked to a doctor about it? Sometimes these things are called restless leg syndromes and you can get a prescription for it. :) ems
i flirt around ALOT but when i reallyt like someone i tend to OBSESS over then. i like them for 1 or 2 yhears before i get over them. they see this as a turn off. i dont know what to do to stop obsessing with these boys. i kno they will not like me but i cannot help myself. if you have any advice on how to stop myself from falling in "love" with these boys or on a way to help them to like me back or on how to stop myself from obsessing pelase feel free to help. thansk a million!
hailey
I don't think you can really keep yourself from starting to like someone, but obsessing I think you can control. I agree with the below answer (props to you!) but meanwhile try and take your mind off of them. Involve yourself with other things to get your mind off of them so much of the time. Get with friends, join a sports team. Just a suggestion... :) ems
Ok, i am the last person in the world to ever try to show off my looks or my body, and i hate talking about my appearance because i am so slender. People tell me im gorgeous, and that i'll be happy i was skinny when i was young because ill benifit later in life. Everyone tells me i could be a model blah blah . I hate it. Especially since people think models are all b*tchy and high maintanence. So one day, i applied on model search america.com, and they phoned me back and want me to go to las vegas for an interview. How do i even tell anyone about this? If i tell my friends they'll think im trying to get attention. Im obviously not gonna go , but still. Please tell me what i should do! Emma
Go for it! This sounds like a great oppurtunity you shouldn't pass up. Besides, if they are your friends they should be supportive about it. If you go through with it (going, I mean) you could show people that models aren't stuck up. Just don't let being a model go to your head and stay the person you are. I really hope you go through with it, it sounds like a chance you shouldn't pass up. Whatever you do, good luck! :) ems
Anyone have ideas for my room? I want something like creative? My room needs a change! Anyone?
Thanks
If your room is small, then dark paints on the walls can make it look much smaller.
Umm there are cute comforters and pillows and different window curtains at JCPenney's. (We just renovated our downstairs and we have been there a lot picking things out so that is how I know.)

I heard if you brush your teeth with baking soda, it will somehow whiten your teeth. But my question is, is it toxic if swallowed?
I think it is OK as long as you don't take in a large amount. :)
Im going school clothes shopping next week and i dont know what i should really look for. I dress kind of plane jane but this year i want to look more stylish and look more grown up. I want to look completely different but not like goth more like preppy. Also, I have no idea what to wear on the first day...we cant wear spagetti straps or skirts above the knee. Thanks in advance :]
I just wanted to give some info for clothes on the first day. Make sure you wear whatever it is you plan to wear before the first day of school. A lot of embarrasing episodes have happened where girls wear brand new clothes on the first day, have an unexpected wardrobe malfunction, and then have to call home for another change of clothes. So just letting you know, don't wear something you have only worn once-in the dressing room. :)
i am 13 years old and i weigh 86 lbs is that over weight or under?
It depends how tall you are. If you are 5'5 and weigh 86 pounds oviously you are underweight. If you are MUCH shorter than that I don't think you could be overweight, however I don't know for sure because I don't know how tall you are.

i invited my friend to come down to the beach with me. everytime i invite her down, she always asks if this other girl is going to. why would she ask that if i never mentioned that other girl gong? that makes me think that she doesn't want to go down with just ME, and sometimes i can't invite 2 people. anyone know why she might be saying this?
Well maybe she wants to know if that girl is going because she doesn't like that one girl or they don't get along that much. The only way you will find out for sure though is to just ask her. Good luck- ems
Im not fat i dont need to lose weight .. but I have a really bad double chin. Any way to get rid of it?
According to Seventeen:
Your body stores fat all over, including your face. If you are overweight, then taking off pounds will shrink the fat under your chin. Also, drink water. Having 8 to 10 glasses of water dilutes the blood hormones to hold fluid. Otherwords, this makes you less puffy so your chin will look slimmer.
Don't do facial exercises, you facial muscles can't be toned through exercise. Therefore working them out doesn't work. Special creams and gels don't work. They don't even go deeper than the top layer of your skin.
Hope I helped- ems :)
I absoloutley love parties and everything about them. I'm constantly throwing them for everyone and every holiday. I plan everything, from the invites, the decoration, the food/drinks, even music compilations. I love it. So, I thought, this is something I love to do, so why couldn't I do it for a living? Plenty of people are self-taught in things like this, right? Start their own businesses and what not. If I wanted to move forward with this, how could I get the word out about me? How could I get started? I have experience, but you know, its family and friends. Should I make some sort of portfolio? Videos? What? Are there any classes I should take as far as the business side goes?
Thanks!
Well, if you wanted to get people to know about your business you could put an ad in the newspaper or phone book. Try asking friends and family if they could get the word out. ou could put up fliers at places you go and places that people know you (work, Church, community building...). These are just ideas on getting the word out.
Um, I don't know about classes, but I hope I helped anyway :). And good luck!
14/f...i've been trying to eat less calories and stay thin. a daily eating pattern is this
breakfast -- a vanilla crisp Special K bar
lunch -- one red apple and one chewy bar
dinner -- whatever my dad makes (it varies everyday from hot dogs to pasta)
but all of the sudden my dad has been trying to get me to eat more food. he is always thinking that if i eat too little then i'm going to become anorexic. whenever my dad cooks he makes me eat more then i want to eat to stay thin. what can i do? and today him and my mom started saying that they don't like how i eat a special K bar for brerakfast. they want me to eat something more suitable for breakfast like cereal..but that would put more calories into my diet and make me gain weight.
Breakfast, as they say, is the most important meal of the day. One special K bar is in no way enough for breakfast. Try toast or cereal...
Your body needs different nutrients. Try having some variety!
You need calories. Calories give you energy to burn. Plus, thin people burn calories easily because of high metabolism.
Good luck! ems :)
I really want to become a Professional Golfer and play on the LPGA (ladies pro golfers' association) tour some day. I am optimistic because my grandpa coached a girl that is currently on the Futures Tour, but also a little hesitant because i am afraid i won't be good enough. My uncle has a pro shop in Michigan, and has helped me a lot, but i don't seem to be getting much better. I don't play much, because i don't have time. Should i give up my dream, or keep going for it?
PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE!!!!
I don't think you should give it up. As you work on it more, you can only get better. Therefore, is say keep it up and keep practicing. However, if your schedule is busy and you can't find the time to, lay off of your dream a little, and wait for things to slow down a little and when you have more time. Good luck! ems
Hey everyone. Im 13/f and Im looking for easy ways to make quick money. I know babysitting is a good way, but not a lot of people ask me. Also, i guess im willing to do chores and yard work, but its just so hot! Is there any other way a 13 year old can make money? Thank you!
You could try petsitting or dogwalking. You could ask (elderly) neighbors if they need any help around the house. Ok, I know these next two aren't very quick ways, but you could do the old car wash or bake sale.
Just putting out ideas- I hope I helped a little.

Im not really fat, like huge. But Im 13, 5'oft and I weight about 127. Im very un happy my weight, and honestly would love to loose to 10 pounds. I asked a question once on here and some guy told me it was a bad idea to split up my workouts in too, like exercizing in the morning, and then in evening a little.. And anybody else have any tips to help me loose weight? im deterimed, but clueless.
thank you I RATE!
Since you don't want to lose THAT much weight I think all you should pay attention to is what you are eating. Drink more water. Some people mistake hunger for thirst and so they eat more when all they need is water! If you just ate and 30 minutes later are hungry, drink some water and then see. Trade in cheetos and ding dongs for carrots with ranch dressing or apples with peanut butter.
Just watch what you eat! I hope I helped!
ALright well im a girl and im 15 and im about 5'4" and i weigh 90 pounds. i dont have an eating problem or disorder. do i seem underweight? thanks
Go to www.amifat.com and click on some of the links at the side. On one link page there is a small box on the right (you might have to scroll down a bit) and you type in height and weight and they will tell you what you are (overweight,underweight,food deprived, etc.) and what people your height should weigh.
Personally I think you are underweight. I don't think it's as seriosu as a disorder though... hope I helped!
How do you make a layout for your advice column?
Click on Profile Settings and change your colors. On that one page (profile settings) they have a link to a bunch of backgrounds, sorry I forgot what it is called but you click on there and there are a whole bunch of backgrounds and layouts to choose from!
my cat is very mean. she has weird hair ball on her back. i tried having her shaved but she bites everyone. any body know what these things are on her back and how to get them off? I rate 5's
Probably just matted hair. Brush it with a certain brush you can get at like petsmart or whatever. it has to have certain bristles so no regular hairbrushes. buy cat food that says for the healthy fur coat. my cat used to have those and this is what we did and... now she doesnt have them. go figure lol. hope i helped!
