ok lemme get down to my question. well my last year in school i wasnt doing soo great.. i got by with Cs..what are some better habbits to get me back into getting better grades..i think my grades starting doing that because all i cared was how to get noticed better..i mean im semi-popular like i know everyone and all but i mean im not top-notch ya know? so any advice with better study habits while not going crazy over knowledge lol thank you soo much!! (link)
Well first off, most students get C's or lower because they procrastinate. Now, I'm not telling you to do a project in one day to get it over with, but you should try doing a little of your project every day until the due date comes, so you aren't that stressed when it comes to the final day.
For tests, it's basically the same thing. Take a piece of your study guide and study that one night, then the next night work on another piece. When it comes to the final day, just review all of them and make sure you understand everything. Flash cards sometimes help, but if you don't have the time to make them you can always ask a parent/sibling/friend to help study by having them ask you questions about the lesson.
Good luck and remember to not get stressed or frustrated at all, because that makes it a whole lot worse. Take it one step at a time.
I hope I helped =]


im 13/f
whenever i go out in the sun and its like too hot or i run a lot or when i like get embarrassed my face starts turnin red its not becuz of sunburn and when i go inside and turn on the cooler my face turns normal again. Can u guys tell me what i can do so my face wont turn red like a cherry? (link)
When I play soccer in the heat, by the end of the game I usually have a bright red face too. I've come to realize that its because I don't get enough water during the game, but that's because the coach keeps me in most of the game. So since you said that you run a lot and it gets red, maybe you want to try either drinking lots of water, or finding a way to cool off (ex. go swimming, water balloon fight, water slide, etc.) Good luck and I hope I helped =]


im 13/f
how do i like permately remove my hair from my legs so they will stop growing but only on my legs and no where else (link)
I'm not sure if you can remove hair completely from your legs perminately. Waxing your legs may keep your legs hairless for a longer time than just shaving. I know that wasn't much, but I hope I helped =]


Hey :D well my eyes have always bothered me.. i have kinda darker brown eyes..sometimes they change to hazel but i wear black eyeliner and everything seems so dark! my eyes seem so boring i get so jealous of blue and green eyes (lighter eyes) because they stand out so much and are so much prettier! is there anyting i could do to make my eyes like stand out more or look prettier? ive heard about doin something with eyeshadow but im soo bad with makeup and stuff! and everytime i try to do the smokey eye or whatever it seems to make my eyes darker! by the way im 16/f! and i do not want colored contacts..i know i have to live with my eye color but i just want to know if there is anything i could do to make them stand out more??!
thanks so much (link)
Well I always thought that eye liner makes all eyes darker.. but thats just my opinion.
I think putting just mascara and some eye shadow
will make them look simple, yet pretty.
Good luck and have fun =]


Okay, I don't usually get nervous before performing on stage. I get really nervous during auditions, though and because I'm nervous I perform poorly and I don't get a callback. I hate knowing that I could do really well, but blowing it because I'm nervous. Does anyone know how I can overcome my audition nerves? I will rate high. Thanks. (link)
Well you can just sing anywhere and everywhere no matter whos there.. that usually helps me (even if you aren't singing good at that time haha). When you are ready to audition, just pretend you are just singing for fun to your friends/family, but sing well. You could always just look up and stare at something on the wall in the room. When you start singing and you hear your voice being scratchy or off key because your nervous, do not freak out because that will make it worse. You could either ask the judges if you can start again, or just improve on your voice as your singing. Good luck and have fun =]


ok basically i'm 14 years old and i've never had a boyfriend. never had a guy asked me out. never been kissed at all. and it's really pathetic... its not that im ugly or fat or have no friends or i'm mean, or anything. guys just never seem to like me. a lot of my more unattractive friends seem to get boyfriends, and my personality is just as good, i'm just as outgoing, i'm just as ANYTHING. and i feel like the world's biggest loser. is 14 really old for someone whos never been kissed/had a boyfriend????? tell the truth! (link)
Well I'm 14 and I've had a few boyfriends here or there, but nothing too serious. Actually, most of them dumped me because I didn't make the first move of kissing them. I haven't had a first kiss either, which makes me scared to make the first move. So, I think you are fine, and I'm sure you will find the right boyfriend soon. You might want to ask the guy you like out. Sure, you may be rejected, but you can just move on to another guy until you find mr. right =]
Good luck and have fun! =]


So i just put on a temporary tatoo, and i love it but i hate how they come off like right away.
Is there anything i can put on it or anything i can do to make it stay longer?
thanks :) (link)
Chapstick works great!! I usually get henna tattoos down at the shore, and i put chapstick on it if I want to go in the pool/ocean, or just to keep it a bright color. Good luck and have fun =]


I'm going into highschool this year & of course i need school clothes. I'm definately not affraid to wear anything, i like funky things. Money is tight this year & i want to buy some gothic/punk/weird/creative clothing but for cheap. i live in northern ohio, do you have any ideas for where i could get really cheap clothes??

please, any suggestions would help! (link)
Goodwill is a good place for cheap clothes, but sometimes its hard to find something you like. I don't live in Ohio, so I'm not sure what you have there. Wal-Mart is a good place, but I'm not sure if you have that. Also, you can go to your favorite stores and go to the clearance section, because there is usually funky clothing there. Good luck and have fun =]


I have an audition on Sunday, the only problem is that when I woke up this morning I discovered that I had lost my voice. I can't reschedule the audition. Does anyone have any ways that I can make my voice come back quickly? Any advice would be very much appreciated. I will rate high. (link)
Don't try to use your voice at all. Try drinking hot tea with lemon. Regular lemonade may also help. You can also try gargling salt water in your mouth for about a minute. Good luck =]


The music code wont work for me. I copied and pasted it onto the part where it is supposed to be, and got the URL of the song from putfile, but it still doesn't work.

Any idea where i'm going wrong? (link)
Why don't you just go to the music link at the top? You can find basically ANY song you want there. When you get to the music profile, find the song on the right and click on 'Add'. then another page will come up to confirm it. Then, you have the music! Good luck and have fun =]


Kay. Well me and this kid Matt are supposed to be hanging out really soon. We're like not going out but we're basically together. He's two years and 8 months older then me. I wanna make a good impression around him and stuff. I've had so many oppurtunties to kiss him, but I am so scared! I told him I hate making the first move, and I've never done it before so he wants me to do it once. When were gonna be together today I wanna kiss him sooo badly, but like how am I supposed to know when? This is bugging me so badly, cause I don't wanna do it at the wrong moment! Eeek. Advice Please. ♥♥ (link)
I'm sure you will know when the right time is. Right now you don't, but when you are with him, I'm sure you will know when the right time is to do it. If you want to do it while your together, just wait until you done talking about a good conversation and when hes just looking into your eyes for a long time. That is usually the best time. If you want to do it when you are leaving, he will probably do the same thing: look into your eyes, kinda moving close. good luck and have fun =]


HEY! does anyone know where to get really cute phone covers for RAZRS?! i can't find them anywhere ... a secure site or a store would be great
MUCHLOVE =) (link)
Radio Shack has some good ones. There are also cheap covers at Zerns, but they look really cute. That's all of the stores I can think of right now, so maybe you would want to surf the web on where to find cute ones. Good luck and have fun =]


does getting a blood test hurt? (link)
I actually got a blood test done recently, so I thought I could help you out.
It basically depends on if you are afraid of needles/shots or not. I am scared of needles, so I made my dad come in with me. When the sat me down, all I did was squeeze my dads hand and looked in his eyes the whole time so I didn't see the needle (I think looking at the needle makes you even more scared). When they put it in, it didn't hurt, but i was a really weird feeling. And after you get it done, you have a decent-size bruise for a while.
So basically it doesn't hurt and don't get worked up a lot about it, because it's only a few seconds long.
Good luck =]


why do girls try and make you jelious if the say they dont like you?? also do u think u can find love at such a young age like 15-16 and spend the rest of your life with them??? (link)
If she is trying to make you jealous, she's probably lying about not liking you. She probably wants to make you jealous to see your reaction or what you would do for her. And, it is possible to spend the rest of your life with someone at the age of 15 or 16. My brother, for instance, has been with his girl friend for 3 years, and they started going out at 13 and I don't think they are breaking up anytime soon. So anything can happen at any time. There isn't a certain age to fall in love; it just happens. Hope I helped =]


I'm really nervous that this weekend at the beach I will get my period. My mom hasn't got me tampons yet cause I haven't even had my period for half a year. I can't go in the ocean and stuff though. And I am really scared I will get it over the fourth of July at the beach when MY WHOLE FAMILY is there. I want to perticipate in stuff and not worry about my period. What can I do? (link)
Well, the first thing you can do is just talk to your mom about it. I'm sure she is fine with talking to you about it, because she has her period too. Or, if you aren't comfortable with talking with her, you could go to your nearest store and buy some and buy a small make-up bag and put them in there and just slip them in your suitcase when you go to the beach. I suggest you buy lite tampons, because regular or heavy can look chunky or just be uncomfortable to use if you don't even have your period. If you do have your period, you can just tell your family you have to use the bathroom and just change it easily. Good luck and be sure you have fun at the beach and not just worry about your period the whole time. I hope I helped in some way =]


does anybody know any hair styles that are easy but still look good? im bored of just putting my hair up or straightening it....
i rate high!

(link)
I'm not sure how you put your hair up, but you could try a messy bun. There are many different ways to do a messy bun, so just give it different tries. Also, depending on your hair length, you could try braided pigtails. Braided pigtails look really cute, but you can't wear them with an outfit that just doesn't make it "flow". good luck and have fun with it =]


Why are my legs so skinny danm can i get them fatter (link)
You can't really make legs "fatter", but you can build the muscle in them. You might want to try jogging or running more, or maybe try a sport that uses leg muscles a lot, such as soccer or ice hockey. good luck =]
