How do you get rid of a peach fuzz mustache? (link)
first off, if you are a guy shave it off.

If you're a girl their are several options some better than others:

1. You can shave but shaving will still give you stubble and stubble on a woman is never attractive.

2. You can use bleach like Sally Hansen cream hair bleach on your mustache. It is effective for mustaches that aren't very thick but for thicker, more obvious mustaches dying them blonde just makes them look like a blonde peach fuzz mustache instead of a brown one.

3. You can wax your mustache off. It costs about $10 to have it done and you will need to have it done ever 2-3 weeks.

4. You can use Nair or another cream hair remover but they can still give you stubble although not as bad as shaving.

Good luck with whatever method you decide to choose.


The thing is, I'm rather poor. The only expensive thing I have is my camera. It's not much really. It's about $200 or less than that. I'm really into photography and it means so much to me.. because it's a one time thing- it's not like I can get a job or allowance to buy another one..

My friend broke it. The lens are messed up. She opened it and as the lens opened, the camera dropped. Now whenever I turn it on, it shows a blank white screen OR "lens error" usually.. this problem is fixed by opening the battery lid and closing it. Turning it back on and it doesn't help now. It only helps after about 6 or so times doing it. Even when I try to take a picture, this white screen pops up or the errors screen does.

I'm clumsy too but with my camera, I'm not. So I don't know. My friend has had really good cameras, more expensive than mine. My boyfriend is telling me to get her to buy me a new camera since she's the one who broke the lens.

I don't know what to do. (link)
You might ask your friend to either chip in for the damage or loan you one of her cameras until you can pay to get yours fixed.

If you are interested in keeping your friendship I would ask to borrow her camera and not ask her to pay for the damage just because that will cause problems in your relationship.

Honestly though accidents happen so it is a bit bold to ask your friend to pay for dropping something, but on the other hand if your friend was following etiquette rules she should offer to fix what she broke.


i'm on the cheer squad this year, and I REALLY want to stay in shape, i'm a bit overweight, not obese, but i have a bit of pudge.
i'm 15 and i weigh 130 and am 5'4.
i need a diet plan to help me loose about ten pounds, and then then maintain that weight.


PLEEEASE help

i also am starting to work out about three times a week for an hour and a half. (link)
Eat 1200 calories a day, that is enough to lose weight while still maintaining your health. 2000 calories a day will not allow you to lose weight unless you are exercising quite a bit and even then maybe not.

You should allow yourself to pretty much eat anything you want in moderation because if you deprive yourself you won't be able to stay on the diet.

I have lost weight and kept it off with this method, if I want McDonalds I will eat it but just make sure that I stay at 1200 calories or under a day. Once you lose the weight you can go up to around 1500-1800 calories a day and then monitor your weight and if you start gaining again go back to 1200 calories.

Good luck!


i know that when having sex if its tight, girls make alot of noise, and i was woundering, do guys find that annoying? (link)
Most men find it flattering when a girl makes noises of enjoyment during sex, it means that they are doing something right. Some guys find it annoying if a girl moans non stop for like fifteen minutes but I have never known a guy to dislike a few moans of pleasure here and there.
Just FYI most guys can tell fake moans and what not from actual genuine noises of enjoyment so if a girl is fake moaning guys might find that annoying.


Are there any good home remedies that fix bruises fast?? I have a huge one on my leg and I want it to be gone by tomorrow. any tips? (link)
This isn't really something you will find around the house but they aren't very hard to find. If you use arnica gel and arnica tablets they help bruises to fade very quickly. Arnica is an herb that helps the body to flush out trapped blood

Also if you use ice packs it will help with swelling but won't really get rid of the bruise.

Good luck getting rid of your bruise : )

alright so i really want birth control not just because im sexually active, but because i have bad PMS and im not close to my mom at all i dont go to her for anything or talk to her about anything and im really close to my boyfriends mother and shes really laid back and i was wondering does your parent or guardian have to be present to go to the doctors with you to get birth control? or can someone like my boyfriends mom go with me, my mom would also flip out a lot if she knew i wanted it, and i was sexually active. (link)
You can go alone to planned parenthood and get birth control, also check your phone book most cities have teen clinics where teens can get pap smears and birth control etc. pretty cheap (about $15).

I am just going to hop on my soap box for a minute so excuse me:

Birth control is a pretty big step, it's not fool proof (in fact I have a friend who is on birth control who got pregnant very recently) so don't think that you can and should just stop using condoms once you get on birth control.

Their are also some serious risks such as blood clots. I work in a hospital and have seen several cases of young girls suffering strokes from being on birth control. Although a rare side effect, stroke is nothing to joke about some people recover but others end up drooling and in diapers.

Also if birth control is used for prolonged periods (i.e. years) it can cause issues when you decide that you finally want to get pregnant. Also birth control is essentially playing with your hormones and tricking them which is in no way natural.

It is for these reasons that I opted out of birth control and instead used condoms. I have rather rough periods but I have learned to help control the discomfort by taking midol the night before my period starts and exercising. It's amazing the difference it makes, so if you lay on the couch like a log during your period that could be the reason your PMS is bad. Just an idea.


me and my boyfriend had been together for about 8 months, i know it doesn't seem like...that long. i lost my virginity to him. he cheated on me, twice. once in march, once in june. in june he had sex with the girl. i'm not sure what he did with the other girl, he didn't have sex with her though. he realizes now that he made a huge mistake. he wasn't the one to tell me, it was some of his friends. he called me later crying, apologizing, feeling so awful. then yesterday he came over, and we ended things. things were ended good though, not bad. i forgave him for what he did. we cried on eachothers shoulders. it all sounds a little bit pathetic. whats even more pathetic is that i miss him, i realize i'll get over it. i just don't know what to do. i still have feelings for him. i'm ridiculous. (: (link)
You are going through a tough time right now. Even though what he did was awful it is normal and expected to miss him badly in the first few weeks. After all ending a relationship is a bereavement process, you are mourning what was and what will never be.

It's incredibly painful but hang in there and treat yourself with respect i.e. don't do anything crazy or stupid that will get you made fun of by his friends like show up at his work or constantly call him. Make a clean break from him, don't hang out and don't chat on the phone most of all don't jump into another relationship right away (if you do find a guy that you really like wait. Tell him how you feel but that you need some time to sort out your baggage from the last relationship. Trust me if he's worth anything he will appreciate it).

Most importantly don't get back together with your ex, if it was anything besides cheating I would maybe support getting back together but since he is a serial cheater he will only repeat it despite all of his promises.

Good luck and even though it doesn't feel like it right now you'll feel better soon.


Since I was fifteen, I've been trying to find a job. Back then when I applied to places or asked about them hiring, they always said I had to be sixteen or older. Then I turned sixteen and everyone said I'd have to wait until I'm eighteen. I'll be turning eighteen in two weeks and I'm wondering where to go apply. I've applied at A LOT of places in the past few weeks, but I always get the same thing. They want to hire someone who matches their interests more. What I don't understand is how can you not want a seventeen, almost eighteen-year-old who has already graduated high school, about to start college, and can work almost anytime? The only times I can't work are Monday - Wednesday, and its only for 2 1/2 hours because I have college classes. Other than that, I have all the free time in the world. I don't go out much with friends.. so what am I doing wrong? The only thing I would think it would be is because I have never had a job before, but you gotta start somewhere.
Anyways, any advice is appreciated on helping me get a job. Thanks! :) (link)
Your best bet is to find a job through your campus. I know my campus is always trying to get student workers to work in the cafeteria, stores and as escorts at nighttime. They are flexible about scheduling and plus you get to make friends with your coworkers who are also going to school on campus.

The only thing I can think of that you are doing wrong is that you are either applying at places that you have no skill sets for. Or when you go for interviews or to drop off applications you present yourself negatively (unkempt, dirty etc.). Now if you do neither of the above things I have no idea why you are having such a hard time.

Good luck and be patient and persistent.


I just got married, and I'm a virgin. and me and my husband we're trying to have sex, but i cudn't let him in. it really hurt. i know people say it hurts the first time, but this is ridiculous. lol

is there any way to make it less painful? (link)
It's possible that you suffer from a condition called vaginismus it is a condition that has both physical and emotional causes. It is where the muscles clench tightly before intercourse making it either impossible or highly painful. I would suggest googling vaginismus and finding a reputable site to study it a bit more. If the symptoms sound like what you are experiencing then you should make an appointment with a doctor.


hey
15/f
I wanna start off by saying that I dont want to sound stuck up or into myself or anything.
Anyway, I havnt had my first kiss yet. Im not prude. Alot of guys like me and think im hot, something just usually goes wrong before I kiss them. I've done other stuff, just not kissing. Is this really lame?

Also
When I do have my first kiss, I want it to seem like I know what im doing. Can I do this through just being confident or should I practice or something....? Also are first kisses really that important? Or should I just get it over with so I have some experience for someone I do really really like


(link)
No, it's not weird a lot of people your age haven't had first kisses yet. Personally I didn't enjoy kissing till I was a bit older.

You should give your first kiss to someone you care about who cares about you ideally. In fact pretty much every intimate action with your body should happen with someone that you care about who feels the same about you. That doesn't always happen but it makes it much easier when you are trying something for the first time when it is with someone who isn't just in it for the physical components. Also giving away parts of your body and kisses to random men cheapens sex and other activities when you meet your future husband. But if you only give out kisses and sexual activity to people that you care about you will be less likely to have emotional issues down the road. Versus the girls who are just throwing their bodies out there like hos.

Honestly every first kiss with a new guy is kind of like never having kissed someone because everyone has different kissing styles and you have to adjust accordingly. By the way the best advice I can give you is to not be too forceful, let him guide the way and just follow his lead for the beginning and then as you become more comfortable you can take a more leadership role.


well..my ex i dated him when i was young and i was so stupid i messed things up he used to hate me well dislike me i guess but then we became friends again and im older now that i relized what i had and now i regert it cause i miss him..but now he has found him someone else they have been together awhile and he relly loves her me and him talks every now and then i have told him so many time s to come to my house and see me cause i miss him and he said he dk cause he dont want his woman mad but but he came by today and i wasnt home so i called him he said u know anyone for my cousin he is single and wants someone and i said my frined theycan meet she is here and i said u should relly come see me tommrow and he said well only for my cousin so what do you think i still have strong feelings for him id do anything to be with him again he is the man of my dreams and i think he knows that but i mean he showwd up outta the blue today he said he was in town lettin his cousin shop (link)
It doesn't sound like he is into you anymore, he has a new g/f and has pretty much ignored all of your attempts to have him come over. I think you should just save yourself heartbreak and move on. Nothing good ever comes from trying to break up another couple, you say that he has a new girlfriend that he really loves. If he truly loves her then he isn't going to want to be with you especially if you did something bad enough in your previous relationship to make him hate you.

I personally know several Shia, Sunni muslim married couples. It's not that big of a deal except to some closed minded muslims.

In fact the whole Shia/Sunni schism is considered haram by many scholars as Islam should never be divided.

Many muslims refuse to even identify themselves as being either Shia or Sunni and say simply "I am Muslim" when asked for what affiliation they reply again, "I am Muslim not Shia or Sunni or Sufi."

Perhaps if both of your parents are closed minded then marriage would be difficult but not impossible you shouldn't really rule him out simply because of an arbitrary split in Islam. If he wants to marry you and you felt the same way I am sure your parents would eventually approve with some misgivings because after all at least you would be marrying a Muslim.


I'm 19, my boyfriend is 20. I'm not religious whatsoever, but my boyfriend is muslim and his family is very religious. He's met my whole family and they love him. He's forbidden from dating outside the race/religion, and me, being white and very un-religous makes it worse. His family has no idea of us & he's not even worried about it, saying "we'll take care of it when it comes down to it". I worry constantly because I think we have a future together! What am I supposed to do? Never meet his family? (link)
I was in the same situation you are in now, all of my other arab/muslim friends told me I was wasting my time and that he was basically fooling around with a white girl until he could marry an arab. I ignored them and continued dating him, after 2 1/2 years of never meeting his family and him being emotionally distant I broke up with him. I told him that I didn't want to see or talk to him again unless he was willing for me to meet his entire family and to get engaged.

We didn't talk for 2 months and he called me up to say that he realized that he was a fool and he wanted to be with me and that he is ready for me to meet his family and he has already told them about me and that we will get engaged after I meet his family.

I am still not sure if I want to take him back but I just wanted to let you know my story since it is very similar.

In my experiences this is what you can expect while dating him:

You certainly won't meet his family until he is ready for marriage (that's just the muslim way) and you either have to accept that and deal with it and hope he wants marriage.

Or

you have to reevaluate and possibly move on to someone different. As to the poster that said meeting someone's parents isn't important unless marriage is involved, their is a difference between meeting parents and being actively hidden as I guarantee that she is being since dating is considered 'haram' (sinful) in Islam.

Personally I would sit down with him and ask him where he feels the relationship is going, the majority of muslim men don't have any intention of a relationship leading to marriage with a white woman especially a woman who is not a believer. Arab men are allowed to marry outside of the muslim faith but only to 'chaste believing women of the book' i.e. Jews and Christians. It's hard to sit down with him and have such a serious discussion but you at least need to lay your cards out on the table about how you feel and where he sees the relationship going.

Good luck with your conundrum, my two and a half year relationship was both the happiest and saddest time of my life.
