CAn you be 14 to work at McDonalds in Wisconsin?

I don't know, I'm from Michigan.

The age is 15 here, with a work release signed by a parent or guardian. Hours are limited too. You can't take on as full as schedule as 16+ workers.

I want to raise enough money to buy a nano iPod but many places you have to be 16 to work at. My friend told me that to work at McDonalds you can be 14(my current age) Does anyone know if this is true?

P.S-I know there food is the worst for you but I'm working there for the money.

If the age is 14 (I think it varies by state), you need a special work release to work there. You'll have to go to your local Secretary of State branch to recieve one. Good luck working, however, don't pile too much onto yourself. Make sure you give yourself time to be your own age. :)

Hi,
I am 19, blonde and VERY pale. I consequentially can't find any decent colours of make-up - if I wear anything too pale, I look wishy-washy as I already have fair hair and skin. If I wear anything darker, I look gothic and I have nothing against goths but that's not what I'm going for :) Does anyone have any suggestions for some natural-looking make-up? Or some colours that may work? I have grey eyes, if that helps.
Thanks!
P.S. This has to be suitable for work, as I am a nanny and don't want to scare the children in my charge lol! On the other hand, some ideas for going-out make-up would be good too :)

I have two ways you can find the look you're looking for.

Experimenting on your own:
I'm also very pale. I usually use a little bit of coral blush or bronzer every day to give my face come depth. I also use brown eyeliner and mascara, because black is too harsh to use against light skin. I use lighter eye shadows too. Sheer poweders and frosts work out alright because they give the illusion of color without making anyone look garish. Find the look you like yourself.

Going to a makeup artist:
The best way to make sure you get the colors that are right for you, is to schedule a makeover at your local department store. This is also very handy if you have problem areas that you want to cover ie. scars, birthmarks, etc. Stands like Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, and MAC will do them and then help you with other looks that suit you. Just keep in mind that after they do your makeup, they expect you to buy the colors they used on you. However expensive the makeup might be, it's a lot better than anything you just pick up at a drug store. Sometimes to achieve the look you want, you have to drop the cash.

Good luck and happy shopping :)

what is it called when you only color the tips of your hair? I know that style has a certain name does anyone know what it is?

I've heard this referred to as frosting, especially when it's a lighter color. However, frosting is frosting, and it's much easier to go back to your normal look after it grows out a bit.

Hello, I'm a 16 year old female, looking into a Liquid Diet. I'm 5'6 and 150 pounds.

I was wondering if anyone knew any good liquid diets that worked fast and effiecent, also how much it costs and where I would be able to find them.

Also if anyone tried them and had side effects.

Thank you

5'6 and 150? That's not horrible! I wish I was 5'6! Don't put yourself on a liquid diet unless you have digestive problems! And really don't do anything like that unless you consult your doctor. If you're concerned about your weight,or unhappy with your appearance, then try to eat salads and low carb/low sugar foods. For beverages go with Water and a slice of lemon and avoid sodas and juices, they're sugary. But honestly, 5'6 and 150 sounds really good. I say you don't need to diet at all! :)

Me and my best friend (We're both girls, 15) don't know what do for her boyfriends sixteenth birthday. They've been together for, say, two years, and we have noo idea what to do for him. We live in Saudi Arabia, so we are kind of restricted here. Like. We cant go to an amusement park or something e_e. What do we do?

Just have a nice dinner together. Even having it at someone's house is alright. If you can see a movie, do that, it's always fun. :) I think a nice dinner at someone's house would be cool though. You both could prepare it for him yourselves.

this question may be a little weird, but, i just need to know as many possible showering ruitines as possible.
1)How often do you shower?
2)girls- when you shave, when do you? Because i find it kind of hard to shave with the water frmo the shower head running over my legs and the shaving cream being watered all off
3)when it comes to shampoo, conditioner, soap, shaving, etc, what do you do first..like in order?
haha thank you guys itll help!

hehehe

I always wash my hair first, then put the conditioner in. While I let the conditioner sit, I wash my body and shave. I turn the water off when I shave, it saves water and keeps the cream from washing off. Then I turn the water back on, rinse off, and rinse my hair, then wash my face. Then I hop out and dry off :)

this will sound stupid but do u have to take your tampon out when u pee? and is it possible to apply a tampon incorectly?

No honey you don't have to remove your tampon when you pee. Tampons go into your actualy vaginal cavity, which is seperate from your urethra. It's kind of like your throat, you have a glotis that closes when you swallow food, so the food doesnt go into your trachea and lungs.

The only incorrect way to apply a tampon is to not put it in far enough, you'll know if it's not in far enough because you'll feel uncomfortable. Tampons should not be uncomfortable. To correctly apply a tampon, you unwrap it, give the cord a test pull to make sure it's secure. Then, holding the end of the tampon, slide the applicator into your vagina until your fingers touch your skin. Then push the applicator plunger all the way in, and pull it out. There are directions and pictures in the boxes. Tampax Pearl and Playtex Gentle Glide are really good about that.

Also, if you're young, use slender tampons. Your body probably isn't ready for a super yet. As you get used to using tampons, you can gradually increase the size.

Hope that helps :)

me and this guy jimmy went out for 3 months and broke up because of rumors that were spread. its been 3 months since we broke up and i still have strong feelings for him.

he used to say things about a month ago that made me think he liked me agen and that he wanted to go bak out

but now..idk. idont think were gonna get back together officially but i want to be at least friends with benefits...what do i do?

If you really want him back, at least as a friend, explain to him what happened. Rumors should never be a cause for you or anyone to do something you don't want to do.

And I say skip the "benefits" part. If you want to do those things with him, be his girl. If you're not his girl, it's not your place to do those things. "Friendships with Benefits" only teach people that the physical actions involved in loving relationships, aren't really special enough to keep the relationship exclusive. So if you want to do anything with him, you should be his girl, otherwise you're just being loose. And that's not an accusation, it's for your own good honey. Trust me, "frienships with benefits" just hurt people.

Hope that helps.

Ive been single for a fiew months now and I have been screwed over twice pretty badly by guys. The first guy told me he loved me and then i found out that on a night when i was suposed to be with him he had sex with a girl 4 times! the other time was more recently. I had been hanging out with a guy more often and he would put his hand around my waist and pull me close and want me to stand next to him so he could hold me and stuff and then i found out he was with another girl also! I was crushed both times. But moreso the first time then the second. Its hurt me badly and brought my self asteem down even lower!
My question Is basicly What are some ways I could make myself more confident? I have been told if you are confident with yourself people can notice. Also How can I get a guy to like me? a good guy. Do you have any makeup tips or cloths tips or any tips at all! any advice. It would really help.

Love maddie

Hey,
You don't have to try to make guys like you. They will just come to you. Just be careful, not all guys are worth your time, which you've already experienced. As guys get older, they mature and their tastes in girls change. Theres a guy that loves each different type of girl. Don't change yourself to get a guy, you don't need to. They'll come when it's the right time. Don't get discouraged! I never went out with anyone from my school, I always went out with older guys while I was in Hich School. In college, theres so many people, there is bound to be more than one pursuer. :) Trust me, there is. Just keep your chin up and realize you're better than them!

Okay.. Me an this girl have been friends since like the 6th grade and now we are freshman. Well at the beginning of the school year she got caught taking pills along with some other kids. Well every since then she has been hanging out with these other people that are wrong for her. So now she does crack, weed, sniffs muscle relaxers && drinks. I try an talk to her but all she does it cuss me out. She says this is the happiest shes been in awhile, and that she likes doing it. She says shes tired of me acting like a "perfect christian" thats it's p'ing her off. She also said that if i told anyone that she was gonna beat my butt. She parties every weekend and even on the weekdays. I don't know what to say to her anymore about it. I want to help her so much. But I dunno what to do. Please help me.

Alright, regardless of whether or not she wants you to tell, Tell someone! Tell an authority like a teacher, and they'll handle the situation properly. Just make sure it's anonymous. Don't make yourself responbil for her well being either. It's not your job and you don't need the stress. It's great to be a concerned friend, but it's not your place to make sure she gets into rehab. Also, if she has a problem with the way you live your life, she's not worth your time anymore. People change as they grown and it's not always for the better. I know it's tough to watch a friend fall away, but sometimes that's all we can do. If they aren't open to getting help, we can't give it to them. Just be sure that whatever you do, you alert an authority to her actions and behaviors. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, feel better.

Do you know if there is a simple website where you can learn to play wake me up when september ends on the piano? I rate no lower than a 3. I'll rate a 1 for smartass answers. Thank you for those who answer!

I've played piano for 12 years, and I know that there is no webiste that can help you automatically learn piano. It's a developed skill that takes time, sure some people have inner talent and can play amazingly, right off the bat. Ask around at a local church, or even at your school for a good piano teacher and start lessons. If you just want to learn one song, and you do read music, buy the easy version of the sheet music online or at a piano/music store. However, if you don't read music, I suggest you get lessons, or a self-teaching piano book. Because I've played piano for so long, the class I have to take for my college major is horribly boring. The book we use though, is really useful. We're using "Alfred's Group Piano for Adults" Bk.1. It's really slow paced for me, but my friends that don't play piano are really liking the structure and pace of the book. The only way to really get your moneys worth, is to take some lessons though.
Hope that helps :)

i go to a small private school. and next year i'm going to a public highschool [my first time to be in a public school]. what are some things that i should know about before i go. i know its a long way away.. but anyway. i'm not really sheltered because i know a lot.. but just remind me please! thanks!!

I went to a large public university after going to a small private jh/high school. Just be prepared for a LOT of people. It's a bit of a culture shock because you're not used to so many people. Also don't act like you still have your close-knit community in which you know everyone. You have to treat everyone like someone brand new, even if you have a class or two with them. Just take time to get to know people, don't just figure you know them because you have class together.

hey everyone - my dress for a formal is mainly black with a very light pink ribbon. My question is should i find very light pink shoes? It would be really hard for me because i am already tall so i dont want over a 2 inch heel, and i dont want them to be over 60 bucks. So should i find matching light light pink shoes? or what other colors would work? how about gold? thanks so much!

Try to find a black shoe, so if your feet peek out from under your dress, it doesn't cut off your leg line. If your dress is short, like some styles are, you can go with a light pink shoe. However I say go with the black shoe because matching pinks is like matching red, impossible. :)

hEy please help me if you can.! Okay, well ive been going out with the same guy for 7 months and im 13 if that means n e thing. We've done everything but sex, but im in love with him. The bad thing is that i dont do that stuff with him n e more bc i guess i dont feel a connection. I know he is in love me but how do i go about telling him that i dont want to be with him anymore? Im only 13 i want to go out with other ppl..also i think i just want to go on break with him..how should i go about telling him that?? PleAsE heLP! I know this is going to break his heart but i would rather do this than cheat on him!

Honey you're 13, you really can't love someone in a way that would make it last until you both die. Explain to him that you're young and you need some time. He might say he's in love with you, but at your age neither of you know what it means to really love someone. Just tell him that you feel your heart has gone out of the relationship. He'll understand that you've lost interest, which is understandable at your age. Of course he'll be hurt, but you have to remember that you can't control his reactions. Just explain to him how you feel and if he's hurt, then he's hurt. He will get over you, it might take him a week or two, or more depending on his tendency to depend on people. He will get over you. It sounds selfish, but sometimes you have to do what's best for you.

When I was younger, I was a gymnast. I quit gymnastics and started karate, and doing other things. When I became an actual cheerleader, [I started cheering again in second grade], in about 8th grade I started tumbling again. But I'm scared to try anything. What do I do??

Don't be afraid to try your acro skills. I started out a skater and then went into dance, I did try gymnastics I just wasn't motivated enough to do it. I'm now a professional singer/dancer. I try acrobatics even though I know I'm horrible at them. You, on the other hand, have a chance at being really good. Don't be afraid to try them, just take them slowly. If you're worried about falling out of an aerial or being injured, go to an acro class again. I know competitions take up a lot of time, but find a way to put yourself back into that training. Perhaps ask your cheer coach, they probably know a good teacher or studio where you could brush up on your skills. Just don't be afraid to try anything. I've been afraid loads of times, but I wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't tried my best and fallen a few times. :)

Ok, my girlfriend and I have been broken up for about 3 weeks. Last night we went out to dinner and we made out under the star-blanketed sky at the beach. She called me later that night and sometime later she asked me If I had thought about having one last "night". What should I do? I want to. But I don't know if I should.

If she's calling you for sex, that's probably all she wants. She's not worth your time. Move on and find someone with a lot more heart to give you because this girl obviously doesn't have a heart. Just don't waste your time and tears on her.
