ugh i have such a hard time finding bathing suit (bottoms) that fit. i'm polish so i have a bubble butt lol so whenever i try on bottoms i either get a wedgie or you can see my butt crack. i can't just go a size up because i have narrow hips so it'll get really bunchy looking if i try to tighten the strings. i have a few that just so happen to fit but only like 2 & one i've had since 6th grade. i dontt want boyshorts though because they make my thighs look big usually. i found some cute ones today but they were soo expensive. what stores have bathing suits that have good coverage in the back & good prices? thanks! (link)
old navy is all i can think of.
they always have the right size, and their prices are like 15-20 a peice, i think.


i have Adobe Imageready CS2 and Photofiltre, and i was wondering if i can make one of those pictures where the picture is black & white, but there's parts of it that's colored, on these programs. if so, can somebody please tell me how. thanks. (link)
i do not have adobe or photofiltre, but i do have picassa2. and you can do that on it, and its called focal black and white. its a great program and free. its by google, so if you want it, go to google and type in picassa 2. and then yeah. you will see it.

but if you only want those two programs, i cant help. sorry! =/

how do i make these dolls? (link)
oh, i think i know what you are talking about.

try going to dressupgames.com

then on the right side, click on dollmakers 1 or dollmakers 2.

then look though the list and choose one. you may want to glance at all or most of them becuase some are ALOT better than others.


hope that's what you were talking about!
:D


okay.there's this chick named olivia.and she is like ew.i hate her.and i don't know her.HAH.anyway.listen.i have my friend haley ok.and like.okay.theres this kid tyler.and haley and tyler were dating 897545456424 days ago.and and he hates her now becauseeee this person named jill...was like.spreading rumors that haley said tyler had sex with this olivia person.and he says its not true...and yeah.so he hates haley and haley didn't even do anything.and so what should she do? i mean he could ruin her high school life considering how he'll be a senior next year..and so what should she do? (link)
for one, dont use such short questions like 'she is ew. i hater. i dont know her. anyway. listen' dont use so many periods. use a complete sentence then a period and use the space! and cut down on the likes.

anyways, theres not much to do. i mean you could talk to them. tell him there is no point in telling everybody this. and you need to tell haley to talk to him too. it cant just magically be okay. talking is the key to everything. and understanding.

(link)
no, no, no. dont drink.
for one, you are underage.
and he should not be buying you a drink.

both of you could get into trouble.
so its best if you just didnt drink.

go to tinypic.com
the go to browse and pick your picture and click upload. when it uploads, copy the 'Direct Link for Layouts' code. then paste it in the URL of a picture of you in profile settings.

it should work.

i need some new stores to shop at. i love shirts like this http://store.delias.com/browse.do?categoryID=1484&page=1&size=&color= and most wet seal shirts. for jeans, i absolutely love skinny jeans. most of my jeans are skinny jeans. what stores have clothes like that, besides delias, alloy, wet seal, and dots? because i shop there allll the time, but i need different stuff.

thanks! (link)
oh, nice choices! =)
i have the same style.

i shop alot at thrift stores because they have clothes that you hardly ever see in stores. then mix and match and it can make REALLY cute clothes.

JCPenny also has alot of clothes with plaid and dots and baby doll tops. you should try there.

i probibly wasnt much help, but i triedd.
:D


me and best friend are going on a long(about 2 and a half hours) car ride in a couple days. i need some fun things we can do in the car. we're both 14 and girls. so nothing like finding certain roadsigns or making words out of license plates, because thats dumb. i have a laptop, but i wont get the internet while we're driving, so we cant do anything on the internet. theres going to be like 4 other people in the car, so it cant be anything like obnoxiously loud or anything.

thanks! (link)
ah, yes.
i go on tons of long car rides, but mine are usually 6 hours!

i have a laptop too, and my brother and i will watch movies on the laptop. he has a headphone splitter so you can put two headphones in.
you could always try that. computer games and stuff like that is always fun. i usally try and sleep some too.

i always bring cards and play games. there are many games to play. i googled card games and got plenty.

i also always bring a notebook. i sometimes draw or me and my friend will write notes if we want to talk about something we dont want anyone else to hear.

ipods are always great. i listen to music and close my eyes. but you may be looking for something to do with 2 people.

since your ride is only 2.5 hours, i would strongly reccomend the movie idea. most movies are close to and hour and a half, so that would take up tons of time.

you can always google stuff to do in the car.

hope i helped.


My mom always trimmed her toenails incorrectly when she was younger. So she won't take me to a doctor to fix it. She made me soak my feet in a water full of epsom salt. What will that do to my toe?

I trimmed my toenail, thinking it would stop hurting. Wrong-o.

Then she said something about digging into the skin in my nail and ripping out the nail. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? no one said ANYTHING about that.

I don't want to leave it untreated because I don't want an infection or anything.

I'm actually not sure if IT IS an ingrown toenail though. I've seen pictures and my nail doesn't even look like it.

Help?
How do you get rid of an ingrown toenail without surgery or whatever?

I've been taking ibuprofen, but doesn't do much.
Should I wear socks? (link)
first off, trimming your toenails too short, or wearing tight or too small of shoes can cause an ingrown toenail.
Heres some of what i found..
"An ingrown nail occurs when the skin on one or both sides of a nail grows over the edges of the nail, or when the nail itself grows into the skin."
TREATMENT.
Soak the foot in warm water 3-4 times daily.
Keep the foot dry during the rest of the day.
Wear comfortable shoes with or open toed shoes.
Take ibuprofen or for pain relief.
If there is no improvement in 2-3 days, or if the condition worsens, call your doctor.


i got that from http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/fact/thr_report.cfm?Thread_ID=197

you may want to read over that page, and they talk about surgical treatment.


hope i helped.


I'm trying to get closer to my friends because they are not making effort.. because we go to different high schools.

But I'm seriously out of ideas what to do. I usually never hung out with my friends out of school until a few years ago. So I'm somewhat clueless on what to do.

I know there's a park, movies, the mall.. but what else is there to do or go? (link)
if this is a girl, invite them over, and have a sleepover. have popcorn and watch movies. do the usual girl stuff.

or you could always go shopping and walk around. go out to eat, get icecream. ive gone hiking before and had a picnic, it was really fun.

theres tons of things to do.
ask them what they like to do and decide together.


* i didnt know where to place this question.
im getting tmobile, well i already have it, but i need a phone. i want a camera phone, used or cingular(at&t) unlocked. i want a fairly new phone, not too much harmed cheap. but i dont know where i can get this? i tried ebay, they were too expensive, ( i have to pay for it not my parents. ) i need it asap. does anyone know where i can get one? (link)
im not sure about tmobile, but i know if you get verizon and you order off line, you can get a HUGE online discount. sometimes it's even free, but youll have to pay for shipping and handling.
it also depends on what kind of plan you have with your family. alot of times there are discounts when your whole family has tmoble and a plan. also if someone elses contract is up, it can help getting discounts on phones.

go to http://www.t-mobile.com/ and they have alot of phones that are 'free' with a online discount. most likely its not all the way free, but it will be cheap.


ok i am sooo sick of being called a skater i need a whole knew hairstly and wardrobe in order to be called something else ... but i dont know were to start i am going for like a punk/emo thing... and yes that probably makes me a poser i guess but think all you wish i just need help on were to find clothing thats cheap and punk also i need help on finding the right haircut! any advice helps =) (link)
like that person said, hottopic is great.
i get the hottopic newsletter sent to my email and it shoes sales and all the new clothes and they always have models.

also try going to photobucket and type in punk hair or something. its usually a spiky short hair. and alot of times black and bright blonde and different colors like mainly pink. or try emo hair which has mostly guys. its usually black, parted to the side, short in the back and long bangs in the front and in front of their eyes.


How do I dress like a rock star???? Is it expensive? Please help asap (link)
well do you mean dress punkish?

it can be expensive if you let it be.
its just clothes that you have to find.
it may be an expensive store, or may not.
i'd try going to a thrift store or salvation army because they always have cute, different clothes for cheap.

check out this website.
http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archives/advice/fashion_advice_70.php

or just try searching on google something like 'dressing like a rockstar' or 'how to look/dress like a rockstar'

hope i helped.


does making out with braces hurt?
because i'm getting them next tuesday..and i was just wondering for me & my boyfriend's sake. haha :) (link)
this was asked before.
=)
its only in the movies. lol it does not hurt you, or the other person. and your braces will not get caught together if you both have them.

dont worry, and enjoy it!
:D


i have four best friends and all five of us hang out in a group all the time. two of them are guys and two of them are girls. anyway when one of the guys isn't with us my other friends talk about how they think the guy who is gone is gay. (i know for a fact that he isn't because i've done stuff with him and no one knows...) but it really doesn't matter if he is or not i just don't think it's right that they do this. should i tell my guy friend what everyone else is saying about him...or would that just cause trouble? (link)
first off, you should tell him that he needs to not talk about him. if you really like the other guy, you will stand up for him.

and yes you should tell him. if its about him, he needs to know. but you might need to be ready for some drama. but if you dont feel like dealing with that, you should just get the other guy to stop, and possibly choose not to tell him.

it depends on what you feel's right. no matter what it takes.


hope i helped.


okay this is kinda weird, but... my little sister doesnt know about masturbation. well i think she kinda knows that guys do it, but she doesnt know that girls can do it too. i feel like she should know about it, but theres no way i could even mention it to her. but she likes to read, so i was thinking i could get her a book that would talk about it. does anyone know of any books that cover that topic? not one of those "all about your body" kind of books (she wouldnt read that), but like a story/novel for teenage girls that just happens to have that in there somewhere. so she could read about it and get the idea for herself. (link)
i like survival guides and things and i was at the library and i typed survival guide in the library search and it was a girl survival guide. i think it was called girl talk.

it was a good book, it talked about puberty. like masturbating to acne and friends and boys. you know.


It might be long but please read, i need your advise, I'd appreciate it soo much!!


okay, so i have a family of 5. A sister who can be a snob, and is 21. A brother who can be nice and caring and is 18. And a mom and dad, and well.. me who is 14.

My mom is always paying attention to my sisters problems and not mine. Yeah, my sister has alot of problems but i need some help sometime too.
How do I get my mom to open up to me instead of telling her??

I dont have a good relationship with my mom. Shes not a friend or best friend , shes just my mom. And i've always wanted to be closer. We do have those " cute, daughter and mother" times but i want to be able to talk to my mom about anything.

ALSOO; My mom cant trust me for crap. She wont let me go to the park because she said she doesnt trustt the "world". i understand shes trying to protect me but.. she has to let me out sometime. i cant be cooped up in this house all the time. And i want to go to the park or six flaggs or the mall with my friends too. And i dont want to have to lie to her that im going to there house or something. im sick of it. How can i show my mom that im old enough a to go places. Dont get me wrong, i go to parks and everything, its just my mom doesnt like it. and thats what i need help with!

Also i want a cell phone really bad, i do chores everyday. im the only one in my family who helps my mom with cleaning and everything. oh oh an i do it for FREE. i never ask for money. And since my sister invades my calls i need a cell phone, but my parents wont get me one! how can i persuade them!!??

help me!!! ill appreciate it so much (link)
well about the relationship with your mom, i dont know what to say.. sorry!

but you should talk to your mom about a cell phone. tell her that you need one to always call her to tell her where you are. and maybe she will let you go to places if you have a cell phone. when i wanted one, i told my mom that i would always call when im going somewhere or doing something. and that she could always reach me.

i know it may have not been much of help
but im trying!


does mylie cyrus lip synce? on her show, it doesnt look like she does, but in clips from her concerts on tv, it looks like she does. (link)
when she is in concert in her SHOW, i think she does sometimes. but in a couple of episodes (like when she sings with her aunt and dad) i think she really sings. and when she is in a real concert, i think she sings.

most people lip sync on shows and music videos unless in the music video its like a live concert.

but in concert most sing, unlike ashley simpson and her accident.


this is going to sound really wierd, but do you know hannah montana's hair? she has like very loose curls and such and i was wondering if anyone knows how i can get them. i have REALLY thick hair and its guess you could say medium length. i have used hot rollers but they never seem to stick. thanks (link)
what i do is wash my hair (use conditioner) and let it air dry (blow drying makes it kinda puffy). when its FULLY dried, i straighten every peice of my hair. i personally prefer a CHI because it makes your hair thinner and doesnt tangle and is smooth. chi's are the best. anyways, then i take a curling iron and lightly curl it and spray it. i use aussie hair spray (purple bottle with kangaroo) because it holds very good and drys fast. i also use to sleep in curlers but if you put them in too tight it wont be a loose curl. but curlers are very uncomfortable to sleep in.

hope i helped.
