Hi, I had my bellybutton pierced for about 2 and a half years, then one day about 4-5 months ago my bellybutton ring fell out and I lost it in the shower. I didn't have one in until yesterday when I bought a new one. The pierced hole was still there except a little tighter so I struggled to get it through. I eventually got it through but it hurt a little bit and today I bought sea salt and I'm going to start soaking it twice a day for at least a week to hopefully prevent it from getting infected. Was forcing the ring in a small hole a bad thing and will doing the sea salt soak guarantee preventing an infection ? (link)
Technically speaking yes, it was bad because their could have been germs on your jewelry or even on your skin.

However, I've done this for many years with many piercings and never had any complications.

Soaking will help keep it clean but it cannot guarantee preventing infection, but it will most certainly help.

You should be fine and if it gets infected I'm sure an antibiotic prescription from your doctor will clear it up.


First off, I accidentally got my hair cut way too short. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips on naturally growing it out. How to make my hair the healthiest it can be. I'd TRULY appreciate it beyond words! :)

I also have some questions.

I've always been SUPER angry and have angry outbursts a lot due to my irritation towards my horrifying depression and anxiety. So it's like every single thing makes me angry. I've been working on it and I've really accomplished it almost! :D I've been singing very happily and cheerfully in my mind a very positive word like "peachy" and "happy." I was wondering if anyone had any other tips on how to actually be able to soon deal with my anger so easily and quickly that no one even notices that I'm angry anymore. :O

I was wondering what are the BEST traits in a person's personality. I'm not trying to change who I am in any way, so please don't say that. I'm just trying to improve myself as a person, because I know I'm not that good of a person.

I mean, I do try all I can to help EVERYONE - even those I don't know or who have been harsh to me. I'm willing to sacrifice all the money I have to help ANYONE and to sacrifice ALL my sleep if someone needed a friend in the middle of the night. My dream career is helping people - senior caregiving, to be exact. I either wanted to do that, because I adore the elderly with all my heart or work at the mental hospital since my heart has always lived in mental health. But I choose senior caregiving.

I still think I could be a MUCH better person. Can anyone give me tips on being a better person? I just am dying to be the best person I can be!

Please help! (link)
Woah there, there's like 3 to 5 different questions here, I think administration would prefer you posted them seperately.


However, I am not an admin, and I don't really mind, and I'm also on a journey of self-improvement so your post really stood out to me.

For your hair there's not much you can really do to grow it out faster, unfortunately it's one of those things that just takes time. I use coconut oil once every couple of weeks to keep it healthy.

While I don't have a lot of experience with anger, I do have a lot of experience with out of control emotions. I also have depression and anxiety, and I get upset or overwhelmed frequently which used to result in embarrassing public behavior to cope (so many tears)

I recommend you dedicate yourself to changing your mindset. This is what I'm doing, and using Google to help me learn about keeping a positive attitude has helped me a TON. It sounds simple or even cheesy but it really does help keep things positive. I also have began doing yoga, and meditating which I highly recommend even if it's only 3 minutes a day. It give you so much more clarity and time for reflection about your progress, and what still needs improving, and what you can do to help your progress.

The best personality traits are subjective meaning everyone has their own opinion about what is the best traits to have.

As you can prpbably tell, I would say a positive attitude and mindfulness are very important and will get you far in life.

Caring for the elderly is a very difficult job- and I commend you for it. I have worked in elderly care myself and while it's not for me, I respect anyone caring for our seniors. I always tried to remember to treat them like my mother. And I loved comforting them and holding their hands and hearing their stories.

Don't sell yourself short- you sound young but your heart seems to be in the correct place. Self improvement is not a one time and done thing but a life long process and I feel many people don't think about being their best anymore. There's always something else you can be working on.


Now here's where I get crazy.....


I have been reading about Hinduism and while I don't think I will be a dedicated hindu I am trying to incorporate their morals into my own life. They consider all life as sacred, and practice vegetarianism for that reason. They also believe in karma, and improving yourself so that one day your soul will be at peace. Even if it's not for you it cannot be a bad thing to learn more and educate yourself. Education will help you be a better person!

I hope that helped, and good luck on your journey.
Life is too short to be anything but happy!


I am a virgin and my boyfriend ask me to have anal sex with him because I am not ready for sex,so I need to know whether I can loose my virginity while having anal sex or not?? I need advice
(link)
If you aren't ready for sex you are not ready for analysis sex either! Your virginity is defined by you and no one else, however if you don't feel ready for intercourse then I don't recommend participating in any sexual activities. Anal sex is known to be painful and as a woman (22) who enjoys (yes, I said enjoy) it is usually painful or uncomfortable for a few minutes EVERY time...and it can cause bowel incontinence (or Anal leakage) please respect yourself and only have sex if and when YOU feel ready....if he won't wait, he doesn't really love you. Please think about what YOU want and Anal sex is probably not the first thing in mind. If your first sexual experience is Anal and your boyfriend is also inexperienced it is not likely to be a positive experience in my opinion. Good luck sweetie, and remember it's what YOU want and when YOU want it..I promise your future self will thank you. I hope this was of some help.


I ran out of foil today and im getting sicker and sicker by the minut..I have no other way 2 smoke it and I REALLY don't wanna snort it b/c I get terrible nose bleeds from when I use to always snort my drugs. Also needles are NOT an option. Plus please don't say "just buy a pipe" or "just make a light bulb pipe" I cant do either of those so this is like my last option. So if I just got the can into the shape of tin foil would this maybe work?? (link)
I mean if you're smoking meth why would it matter what your're smoking out of?...can't be worse than what's in your drug...


My boyfriend recently changed his profile picture and it's him and his ex in his arms.. Should I be worried? I had my best friend ask him (I know I shouldn't have done that, but I was freaking out) and he said that it's his ex and she's dating his friend. She got really jealous a few days ago when she saw us together (This was when I didn't know who she was, but then when I saw her in the picture that's why I freaked out). I don't really want to talk or ask him about it because I don't want him to think I'm jealous and stuff... He hasn't changed his attitude around me and he still tells me he loves me, but should I be worried? (link)
In my opinion, you should be. I think showing pictures with his ex is kind of weird because he's not with her anymore and if she got jealous of you guys and then he did that then he must still have some kind of feelings for her.
It doesn't mean he doesn't like you and try not to take it as if you did anything wrong. they were probably together for a while and he's having a hard time moving on.
Tell him how you feel and encourage him to cut ties and give him some time to let her go but like I wouldn't want them hanging out alone.
If he can't let her go and focus on you in a few weeks, it's probably time for you to move on.


Is it normal to hear a heart beat in your lower abdomin (link)
Yes, I am pretty sure. Your heart is close enough


Does rue 21 sell belly button rings? I am going to be getting my naval pierced and there aren't a lot of stores where I live so I don't know where to go to get one. When you get your bellybutton pierced, do you need to get more than one ring? (link)
Your piercer should have a nice variety for sale. For after your fresh wound has healed, of course.


Well my name is Allison 13/f and I told this guy Jordan 15 that I would want to have sex. He has already told me he wants to. Well we have already been having to sneek around because we are not supposed to be together. Well, we have been because we are both in a play. So, he keeps telling me that we have to figure out where we can have sex. But I can never meet him anywhere because my dad doesn't let me do anything. Anyway I think when I see him today we are going to make out and stuff. But was it right to tell him that back? I don't feel bad though. (link)
Please, take my advice: I lost my virginity when I was thirteen years old. It wasn't special, it wasn't even fun. I, like you, was not even dating the guy. You will enjoy sex much more if you wait just a few more years, until you are with a boyfriend who means a lot to you. Your first time is supposed to be meaningful. Still, it is your decision to make and if you do it, please at least make sure he wears protection. That should always be your number one priority. You do not want a baby now, or worse. And to answer your question, it was not wrong to tell him that, that's just your hormones kicking in. When I was your age, I hated being told I was too young for anything. So I did not wait to do it all. Sex, drinking, you name it. Now, I'm eighteen and wish I had waited. I really hope that I helped.


Here is the thing. I'm currently pregnant and can't really lift any heavy stuff. I still need to care for my cats though!!! My husband is going on a business trip soon and a friend suggested me to get one of these automatic poop boxes for my kitten, so i do not have to do so much work. I'm a bit sceptical though....can anyone help me with this please?? (link)
Along with the first answer, kitty waste is bad for pregnate women. Talk to your doc to make sure, but I think it's okay if you wear a mask and gloves.


I've had my belly button pierced for a little over 4 months. For the first 2-3 months I cleaned daily with sea salt, ran out of it and now have been cleaning with soap and water. I called my piercer a month ago and he said I'm fine to take it out. But, it's still a little tender, not painful, when I touch it or bend down and it like folds in. And there's occasional clear liquid that comes out, and crusts that form on the bottom ring. Am going on vaca in 2 weeks and want to change it.. Does it sound healed enough? And what will happen if it's changed before it's completely healed? Thanks! (link)
I would not change it you need to wait until it doesnt hurt to touch or twist.and there should be absolutely no puss or crusty anything. I am not a piercer but I've had my belly button done twice along with my cartilage, both traguses, my lower earlobes a few times that now is a size 0 g and my bridge and my Monroe




I got a letter from financial Aid offices of the school I'm going to next year and they said I need to send them a letter explaining how my family survives on a certain income and what kind of assistance they get from others and what they spend on bills. It also says I have to send signed documents or they will be unable to process my financial aid. It just says send signed documents and a letter.What kind of documents do they want? (link)
I just filed my fafsa call do you have an e student account? It might say on the website. Or call the financial aid office or talk to your guidance counselor or whoever is in charge of all that.


I'm not too experienced when it comes to guys, so whenever I'm out with one I always tense up because I'm scared he's gonna think I'm a complete loser for being an un expierenced 22 year old. Are there any pointers to make sure a guy is enjoying himself and not suspicious of the fact that I may not know exactly what to do? (link)
Just be yourself. Try not to act too nervous or he might think something is wrong with him or even youre not comfortable or happy with whatever youre doing. Go with what your gut tells you, and put on a pretty smile. It can be to your advantage for the guy to know youre unexperienced with dating, he will easily think no other guys are good enough for you and hes got something special.


I've been stretching my ears for about two years now, I am currently at 1" and my hair is kinda thin so my ears always poke out and everyone sees them. I've been looking for a better job then the one I've had for about a year, but when I go in for interviews I am pretty sure what the problem is, my big ear lobes poking out. I really want to close them up or at least down size them to about 00 would be nice.
I can't afford the 1K surgery to get them sewn up, I've heard a lot of weird tricks but I am afraid to try anything that might destroy my lobe. Does anyone have any tips for fast down sizing besides ear massages?
Help would be appreciate. (link)
do what you would do to stretch your ears. start by putting in a smaller size. wait. put in a new smaller size. dont skip sizes and your ears should slowly repair themselfs.


I'm worried I could be pregnant.

I'm 21f. My boyfriend is 18

The reason I'm worried is because I've been on the pill for about 4 years now and I take it at the exact same time every day. Well me and my boyfriend went to a concert on Friday night and he held my phone for me and I told him to let me know when my alarm went off so I could take my pill. Well I went to the bathroom and came back and asked him what time it was and it was like 9:11. I usually take my pill at 9. And then I'm also worried because my boyfriend was a virgin before this and so I'm not sure if he put the condom on right. When we were done and got up he said "Well it looks like it worked"

We had sex Saturday morning. I'm just freaking out! I wouldn't be as worried if I took my pill on time the night before. I don't even think the condom broke but I'm just worried my boyfriend didn't put it on right or something. Now I have stomach pains, but I think it's because i'm stressing myself out so much thinking about it. (link)
I'm in birth control, and the info packet says if you miss ONE day take two the next day, same time. your chances of pregnancy should not be any higher.


I know the emo style and i am working my way to having it. But ive hit a brick wall. My parents wont let me cut my hair OR gauge my ears. Whats the best way to convince them to let me do these things? (link)
You don't have to have a fancy haircut that makes you look like a rooster OR gauges to look emo. Just wear what you like, and If your parents wont let you get your haircut some crazy way just tell them you want it cut and you promise you wont go crazy about it. when you get your hair cut, ask for sideswept bangs, and a lot of layers, and youll still look good without having the rainbow hair and gauges. Or even consider a cute pixie cut, and maybe just dye it a burgendy or dark brown or other shade of red. If you have your ears pierced, I know there are fake plugs you can buy so that you look like you have stretched your ears. They even have backs.

Don't try to look emo cause its cool..be different!


So I stretched my ears with a stainless steel nail. It was 2" and 25mm. I think that was length though.. but idk. Can someone tell me what gauge that is? It is pretty thick for me and hurt like a b**** to put in..plus it was hard trying to do it without my mom seeing me cuz she dosent approve of me doing it. So how can I actually get real gauge earrings without her knowing so I can actually have earrings?? (link)
First off, That was probably the length of the nail..or your earlobe would have been severely damaged. Look up Ear Plug Size Chart on Google images and you should be able to tell what size you have by holding it to the screen of your computer. Shoving a nail through your ear wasn't the smartest idea. Sretching your ears is a slow process and if your doing it right you shouldn't have much if any pain. I don't know how old you are, but if you have money and a ride, just go to your mall, there are alot of places that sell them. (Hot Topic, Nirvana, Karma, or any tattoo shop) If your wanting to go to 00g then you should probably buy a kit off the internet and spend around $30.00 on a whole kit for stretching your ears. Between going to a bigger size wait around a month or longer or you WILL blow out your ears, and it will be very gross and painful. Stretch your ears with a taper, you only need one for each size, and wearing tapers as jewelry is bad because your holes will be bigger on the front and smaller in the back so it will be a tunnel. It also wieghs your lobes down. Clean them everyday, soap and water will do fine. Oh, and when I stretch my ears I do it in the shower, once im already clean. It helps your skin become more elastic, plus more lubrication! Use lots of lubee!

I can't really tell you much about your mother.. Just do it anyways unless you think she would rip them out. My mother never approved of piercings and I did alot myself when I was fourteen, she made me take them out but I'd re-do it later anyways. By the time I was 16 she kind of gave up and took me to get professionally pierced, to avoid various infections.

I hope everything is in there! try looking up more info online somewhere. Good luck, and I hope I helped!


It all started in December of 2010...I was 14 years old and I had a bestfriend named Hollie.I found out about this guy who gave tattoos at my school. Her and I got a tattoo and i got 2. Music notes behind my ear and a star&moon on my wrist. My parents found out about it and immediately i lied. but eventually got found out. I turned 15 & a couple of months later, I was still with hollie and now i was hanging out with erik we smoked weed and i stole alcoholfrom my dad to get some weed. Was found out and never able to hangout with Hollie again.I called suicide hotline and lied to the person on there and cps came to my school.Meanless to say, i got found out and in trouble. Then i took my sisters car out&crashed the bumper into a tree.My parents were out of town. After a while of trying to gain trust back&moving schools,It was now Oct. and I had a new friend named Maddie.Last weekend was the 3rd time we smoked weed.My parents were out of town again.Saturday morning i was supposed 2 go 2 my 7th laser removal of my tattoo(i didnt go but told my parents i did)&I had a job to go to on sunday night as well& told my sister id be home at 5pm. We smoked again sun morning.I fell asleep & maddie woke me up at 7pm. my cell was under a bunch of things and i couldnt hear it. I saw 17 missed calls 7 voice mails and i immediately called my sister. cops were looking for me and was introuble again. My parents came home the next day from their trip& was yelled at. No trust, respect, love, phone, computer. nothing. Im trying to gain their everything back. Not trying to speed up the process and a accepting my punishment as this is the 2nd time this has been done. I feel like once i do something good something else i did comes back and kicks me in the butt. Just asking what else i shoulddo and what i should feel.thanks. (link)
you sound just like me when i was your age. I got in alot of trouble too but eventually i got sick of always being grounded, so i got my act together. im so much happier now that im not always kicked out of school and grounded. its going to take some time, and i know how bad it sucks but your parents will eventually trust you again. if theyre like mine then they will always be cautious of what your doing but you will have much more freedom. once they start to trust you aggain dont lie to them because if you get caught youll be taking three steps forward and two steps back. for now, dont complainn about not having all your stuff just do what your told and make good grades and dont argue and everything will work itself out. good luck

Hi,
I was wondering if your allowed to not go to yearlies. Like is that a requirement? I really dont like people looking at my body. Not even my mom or sisters! Ive already gone once last year and I was very uncomfortable with my mom watching and my doctor feeling around and looking. And I most definitely do not want to go to a gynecologist. Is it possible to not go?
And yes I know they are important so my doctor can make sure everythings okay and how its supposed to be but I really,REALLY do not want to go. (link)
no, you dont have to go.
dont bring it up to your mom
and most doctors dont like call.
mine doesnt.
I havent been in over a year
and before that it had been three years.
I hate em too
but yeah if they do call
or your mom rememberes,
do what the person under me says.
