I love observing and talking to people to find out what makes them tick. I love it when I can help people figure out answers to their problems-- no matter how big or small!

Ok, I'm on a competative swim team and I already have dry/damaged hair. The chlorine that gets in my hair after every day's practice is killin my hair! What are some brands of special shampoo's that specificly get chlorine out of your hair and where can I find them?
*I havent found anything @ Wal-Mart, Kroger, Publix, or Eckerds* I'll RatE BuncHezzZ! (link)

I have blonde hair so I use John Frieda's hair care line. He has a great shampoo called Beach Blonde that will take out all the gross chemicals, minerals, etc and give your hair lots of good nutrients and restore its color. I would totally reccomend that if you have blonde hair.
Pantene also has a whole line of hair restoration products. Browse your hair care aisle (I usually pick up my shampoos at Target) and pick the one that best fits your hair type.
Good luck!

okay so when you get your period and you have to count how many days until your next...do you start counting from the last day you got your period or from the first day you got it? (link)
|
You count your whole period from the day it starts till you reach 28 days (or however many are in between your period).
So say your period starts on a Sunday and lasts 5 days-- you'd start counting that sunday!

Everytime *it never fails* after I eat I get a stomach ache, and there not normal small pain ones, they hurt like crazy. I've been to the hospital and they've found nothin, they think its all in my head. Im afraid to eat sometimes because the pain is so bad and Im always stuck layin in bed for hours. I eat pretty healthy food, im normal weight and I excercise alot, does anyone else no what my be going on? *Im 13 and some doctors think it could be growing pains .. but would they hurt this bad and how do i get rid of them?* sry for the length but I'l rate BUNCHES! :) (link)

Talk to your parents about going to a specialist.
My sister had problems like this for months and months. Turns out she had irritable bowel and acid reflux. (Both of these can cause your stomach to "churn" after eating)
Sometimes just normal pediatricians don't take the time to really investiage those type of things. A year ago when I had a kidney infection it took going to a specialist to find out what was wrong-- and that was just a kidney infection! My pediatrician was dead set on trying to convince my mom that I was pregnant and/or lying!

I used to be a really bad kid, like Id sneak out with guys and get drunk and do sexual things. Around New Years Eve (04) I got caught from this and had to go through a drug class. Then in Febuary (05) I got drunk with some guys and got rapped. People have been saying stuff about me because of this. My friends boyfriends tell them not to hang out with me because "I attract niggers, drugs, and alcohol." And my friends parents will say "if you keep hanging out with her youre going to get rapped by black guys." Im not a bad kid anymore, I have moved on from this and do not do drugs or sneak out with guys anymore. I have started being nicer to my mom and decided not to keep anything from her *so everyday I tell her everything that happens even stuff I do with guys.* Is there anyway I can make people stop saying this and realize I am not the same person I was? (link)

Just keep doing what your doing and they'll come around. It's none of their business what you do or don't do anyway. They are obviously not the kind of people you want around anyways.
It will get better. Don't give up!

Well my friend still thinks shes pregnet but hasnt had sex!! Shes geting some symtoms of pregnety!! And if you were pregnet would you be able to suck your stomic in??? And does your bellly button stick out or in like normal??? (link)
|
I'd say if she hasn't had sex... she isn't pregnant.
Sometimes right before your period girls will develop symptoms like that. Feeling tired, hungry, sick to their stomach, etc etc. So that could be why.
I don't think that being able to suck in your stomach or not suck in your stomach is a legit symptom of pregnancy though. :-/

HELP!! My semi-formal is on the 17th and I justtt got a cold yesterday and now I have a runny nose, stuffed up. It would be OKAY with me, except I have to sing at graduation!! What do i do?! Its LESS than a week away now..Im so mad and I dont know what to do. How can i get better besides resting? (link)
|
drink lots and lots of fluids! I once had to perfrom with a semi-lost voice and stuffy nose... it turned out fine. When it was really bad, my director had a friend of mine sing with me sort of like a duet to help fill in on the spots I faded out. Take a nice hot shower or sit in a nice steamy bath to help clear stuff out.
But really... drink lots of fluids. And take sudafed as often as you can.

to the ladies, what are some ways in which a guy can approach you and just start a conversation or something without it bein really weird. in the movies for example. hwo could a guy best present himself and possible ask for a sn or phonenumber.
for the guys: same question except what are some stuff that yall have tried (link)
|
Well I must say... I have been reeled in by goofy pick up lines before. The really silly ones y'know.
But if your not into that just strike up a casual conversation. Ask what movie she is seeing ( or saw) if it was any good, etc etc. Just be casual!

hey, today my crush dropped a major hint for me to give him my phone number, but i didnt...its cause my parents dont know about him, and i feel really uncomfortable talking to them about guys unless im going out with them and want to go to the movies or something...what should i do? i really like this guy and i want him to call me, but i dont want my parents to know!! please help!!! ill rate... (link)
|
Well, give him your number and just tell your parents that your doing.
They should understand. I mean they were kids themselves once.

ok...i wanna babysit during the summer only i don't know how to start. and i dont wanna babysit alone. so...how do i start babysitting? (link)
|
I started out by filling in for friends who couldn't make a babysitting job. There was kind of a whole group of people in my neighborhood that helped each other out.
Word of mouth is the best way to go! You could also make flyers or call around your neighborhood, community, church, etc.

Does anybody know any Fruity Smoothies that are good for you, and don't have a lot of extra sugars and fats. So basicly recipes for a healthy smoothie? (link)
|
I'd say--Bannanas, Strawberries, Blueberries, Oranges crushed up with ice and maybe a tiddly bit of milk or non-fat yogurt would be quite tasty.
Experiment and see what you like best!

Hey uhm im 13..and im not the u kno most preppiest girl out there. I have black hair and brown eyes..I want sumthing to do with my hair cuz im tired of being so tomboyish. Im not the skinniest girl so does ne1 have ne tips on how i can be a little more girly without being preppy? (link)
|
My sister's a lot like you are. By 7th grade she was ready to step into some more girly shoes without losing her sporty image.
She picked out a new fun hairstyle that was girly but functional. She thickened her bangs and got some angeled layers (that can still be pulled into a pony tail of course). She wears just a tad bit of make up. Some blush and mascara (when she feels like it).
My sister loves polos and jeans. Really, any fun fitted shirts will look great with jeans and tennis shoes or flip flops.
It doesn't take high heels and and lacy camisoles to look feminine. Really, anything you feel good in will be just fine!

Heyy im already in 10th grade and im only 5'0!! I dont want to be this short anymore!!! Is there any Way i can Grow @ least 3 inches! (link)
|
Sadly I don't think that there's anyway you can make yourself taller. It's all genes. Look at your mom and dad's heights and then you'll be able to judge how tall you will be.
I do wish I was 5'7 though. So if anybody DOES figure out a way to make yourself taller short of breaking bones and stretching out skin... let me know.
edit--
I did answer your question-- That's what my whole first paragraph is about. There's no way to make yourself taller like I said-- it's all genes. Drink milk. Take calcium chews-- that's all you can do. But I don't honestly don't think it will help. Your what-- 15, 16 years old? You probably won't grow much more. Females are usually done growing by their Sophmore-Junior year. I'm sorry that you didn't get the humor in my last paragraph. I was being sarcastic.

My brother is ten and does not have enough self confidence. He is shy around everybody expecially at school. In class he totally blanks out if a teacher asks him something. The worst thing about this is that his french teacher hates him. He comes home everyday saying that he has no friends yet everyday he is seen talking to someone comming out of the school building. My parents sent him to a psycologist and he (psycologist) made him answer questions for around three hours. The psycologist is not helping what so ever and I am the only one that actually understands my brother. What do I do? (link)
|
Just be there for your brother. Listen to him, love him, do things with him.
Offer all the support you can-- that's all you can do. If he starts putting himself down-- counteract his negativity with a positive statement about the situation or himself.
Encourage him to go out and try new things. Join a rec league team. Join a club at school. Heck, even invite him to hang out with you and your friends. Any time I see that my sister is a little down I'll invite her to go out with me and my friends. Just to a movie. Or the mall. Or just to eat. It's the little things that little brothers and sisters remember and they will love you for it.

Hey everyone,
My sister n law is having a baby, and she just found out today that she's going to be having another boy! I was wondering if anyone could help me out, and suggest any boy names pretty much that you can think of. I already suggested about 45 names to my brother, and he hasn't liked any of them! He's the most picky person I know! I know alot of the common ones people use these days, so if you can try not to suggest some of those. Thank you so much in advance! I really appreciate it! I'll rate you a 5 if you try, cuz I'm a really nice person. :-)
(link)
|
Search online! There's tons of great websites for different names online. Or pick up a book at your local book store. I've even seen little baby name books in the grocery store check-out lanes.
Some of my favorite little boy names are Owen & Jackson. However, I know that these may classify as semi-common to you.
Good luck!

My younger sister who's eleven has an amazing voice for her age and I really want her to be discovered! Her birthday's coming up in July and I think that if I found a way for her to get noticed it would be a great birthday present. Can anyone help me find a way to help her be discovered? (link)
| |
Talk to your parents! Call, write, e-mail agencies in your area. Record her signing onto tapes or cds (include all her information and a head shot!) and send them to local talent agencies and cross your fingers for a reply!

I didn't know what to put this under but anyways. Lately I can't sleep at night I just lay there in bed for like 3 hours before I can even sleep at all. Does anyone know what's wrong or how to make me sleep? (link)
|
It could be because your sleep patterns are messed up.
I assume since your laying in bed for so long your staying up until the wee hours of the morning. If that's the case-- don't sleep in. Wake up at your normal time and then you'll be tired at the end of the day when you go to hop into bed. Give that a week or so to straighten yourself out.
If that doesn't work I would talk to my parents so then you could talk to a doctor about it!

i was wondering if VEET bladless shaving actually works?? and if so how long do your legs stay smooth? (link)
|
I used it a few times and it BURNED. It made my legs really soft and the hairs on my legs really soft-- however... they were not smooth. The hair was still on my legs, just softer.
I'd say if you want it gone go for waxing. Wether it be done in a salon or in a home kit.

My mom is 45 and shes been havin some mood swings. Like she'll offer to take me shopping then the second we get there she'll start yellin cus I tried on a few clothes, She's done this a few times, like if i ask for friends to come over she'll ground me.
Is she goin through Menaupuase? Or is something else wrong? (link)
|
Man, that's some serious mood swings. Something could be wrong-- maybe something connected to Menopause.
Talk to her. Or talk to your dad (or maybe another sibling) and see if he's noticed too-- and then move from there.

I have been renting a home for 10 months now and I've paid an overraged of at least $300 dollars due to water leaks. I'm trying to find out if my landlord should be responsible for the difference in comparison to a normal water bill.I can't find advice without having to pay for it. Single mom with children and can't afford it already as it is. (link)
|
I would say that it is the responsiblity of the landlord to pay for the leaks. That is if they were pre-exisiting problems. If they developed while you were there, or where caused somehow by you-- than he could make a case that it is your responsiblity to pay it.
Talk to the landlord. You might have to talk to an attorney if things get ugly.
