ok, so i shave my legs, but i always get these really obnoxious red bumps and pimple-like bumps on my thighs. (i know, its gross!). i use shaving cream, shave at the end of my shower, and use lotion. oh, and a good razor. i am running out of ideas. help! (link)
sometimes the way you shave doesn't matter. i used to get those - they could be multiple things. maybe they are ingrown hairs.

do you shave starting at the bottom of your leg, then go straight up to the thigh-area? if you do, try shaving everything below the knees first. then when you're done with that, shave above the knee.

also, try shaving slower.

I'm walking down the hallway on the way out of a small after school function where a guy I liked was present with one of my best friends. While we are walking, she starts talking (not quitely, mind you) about how weird I get around the guys I like and remember that one time...? I tell her to hush, and she laughs loudly and informs me that no one can hear us. The hall is quiet and a handful of people from the function are walking behind us! Ack! Another scenario: friend and I are in a school room when "the guy" and some others come in to talk to the teacher across the small room. "The guy" talks. My friend comments that indeed he has a deep voice. Again, ack! She laughs a little and tells me that they wouldn't know what we were talking about anyway. It's embarrassing, especially since if these guys knew I liked them they'd laugh their heads off. I never, ever do this to anyone who confides in me! Why can't my best friends understand that I would rather not talk about the guy I like in front of him or anyone who is his friend?! (link)
maybe they're jealous, and can't deal with the fact that you like someone cute/nice. or maybe they don't want to lose you to some guy. or maybe even they are just jealous that you might actually get a guy, and they can't get one.


Ok, so i have a boyfriend, pico and i like him and he likes me but it just seems like hes gettin kinda like too obsessive and i want to break up with him but i don't want to break up with him and i don't know what do do....please help me! (link)
tell him you need your space. he should respect that. if he doesnt stop obsessing, talk to him about it and tell him youre going to stop being around him. if he doesnt stop, break up with him.


I am female, 21years old and from South-Africa. My boyfriend was biosexual before we've met,as he told me.We have a serious relationship know and i love him alot,butI am scared he will turn gay after a few years. Should i rather leave him know,or just accept him for who he is? (link)
accept him for who he is. give him a chance. he could even go straight, not gay.


I dont know what to do with my life i want to be successful but i dont know where to start. I am going to a community college this year as a freshman and i want to do radiology but there is a 4 year waiting list and community college is only two years & radiology only requires 2 years of college would i wait and go back in 2 years? I want to go beyond that. i want to make sure i will have a job in radiology i want to make money I am poor and live with my mom with no job right now. I dont know how to become successful (link)
go to a different community college, or try to get into another college. for the money- get a job, something simple maybe. like a fast food restaurant, or you could be a waiter/waitress at a restuarant.


ok im gunna be straight forward..when i put a tampon in i have really bad pains in my stomach n side..y do i have these pains? it really hurts! please help (link)
try putting it in at a different angle. sometimes when you put a tampon in at the wrong angle, it will sit in a weird way and be uncomfortable. also, try using a smaller tampon. the bigger it is, the more you can feel it and it will cause pains like that.


im going to a batmitzfa soon and im wearing a black dress. i'm looking for different hairstyles hahhaa . i have long brownish blondish hair and i usually wear it straight but sometimes that can be boring so any ideas? i dont want it to be too formal either because not alot of people are wearing dresses i dont think (link)
bat and bar mitzvah's aren't that formal... only for the person being bar/bat mitzvah'd. so don't worry about how you look, you dont want to look nicer than the person being bat mitzvah'd. wear it down and straight, or even in the hairstyle where you pull your front hairs/bangs up and clip them down, so it looks like a poof. like this: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/collegefashion/lc-poof.jpg


18/m I've never had a girlfriend before,
And I've been hangin out with this girl basically twice a week for 2 months, and I really like her, and she likes me (we talked about us a few weeks ago).
But where do we go from here?
Do I ask her out? We've been going to the movies, the park, and some of her active interests, but they weren't really dates, I guess.
We've cuddled a few times, but should I kiss her yet?

Help me out!
(link)
kiss her on the cheek first! as a goodbye or hello. then ask her out when youre in a quiet environment. like the park. look her in the eyes when you ask her. if she says yes, then take her hand and walk around with her. then kiss her on the lips when you say goodbye. good luck :D


Okay so I used to be like best friends with this one guy and he told me he liked me and we just completly stopped being friends. We talk occationally but not like we used to. I miss my friend. I want to be closer to him. How should I fix it? (link)
well, do you like him too? if you do, tell him. otherwise, talk it out with him. one day be like "hey- what happened to us? i miss being able to talk to you all the time. i think i was just in shock when you told me you liked me."
then go from there. just talk it out.


Alright, so long story short.
Three years ago, I had my first relationship (long distance) and it was the best relationship I've ever had. We lasted for about 6 months, but I ended it because of personal reasons. However, now we still talk and everything. I have a boyfriend right now and we've been together for a little over a month. But we started liking each other since the end of March. I'm his first girlfriend, so it's new for him. He's my third boyfriend. The thing is, recently my boyfriend and I haven't really been talking because he's been really busy. And when the chance comes for us to talk online or something, he's not really into the conversation and the convo just dies. And another thing, he doesn't call me often at all. I talked to him about it before and he said he'd call me more often, but that doesn't happen. All talk and no walk? -__x

My very first boyfriend will be going to college next year. I'm going to be a senior and so will my boyfriend right now. But the thing is, I still may have feelings for my first. Even though it's been 3 years, the relationship we had was really strong. He has a girlfriend right now too, but they plan on breaking up when they get to college.

My first and I have so many similarities and we're interested in the same things, but my boyfriend now; we barely have any similar interests. I don't know if I should continue and work it out with my boyfriend right now, or if I should take a break and clear my thoughts. Or if I should take a second chance with my first. Or if I should just wait it out and see what happens.

Thanks in advance.

you should give it time between you and your current boyfriend. also talk things out with him about how he never calls and hes so busy. thats not a good boyfriend, if hes always busy and doesnt have enough time to talk to you. then again, he is new to this... but that shouldnt matter.

also wait to break up with your boyfriend before your first bf ever breaks up with his girlfriend. if you break up with yours thinking that youll get back together with the other guy, and then he doesnt break up with his girlfriend, youll be devastated. also talk to your first boyfriend and tell him how you feel. then talk it out. who knows, maybe both of you should be getting back together after all.


Well I wrote this poem and I am not sure if I should post it on this one site to let some of my friends to read it because I want their opinion to tell this one guy I like how I feel about him. But, if someone can read it and tell me what they think, I mean, I don't wan it to sound emo or something. But it is called Everything, CAUTION! POEM IS VERY LONG!

Everything
Written after watching a very episode of Fruits Basket.

I stand in the rain,
The cold droplets falling down upon me.
Though,
I can only think of what it was like before this.

The smiles.....
The hopes.....
The dreams.....

My soul can't bear it,
My ears can't hear it,
My eyes can't see it.

For you have left....
Everything......
Leaving me scattered.

Leaving me in pain.
Leaving me standing in the rain,
Tears pouring down my face,
Falling to my knees.

What will happen now?
When will I feel happy?
When will your smile come to me again?
When can I hear your voice?


I soon can hear my heart beat in my ears.....
And I can feel my heart beating like drum in my chest.
As I soon know how it feels....

I know how it feels to be left....
To have my heart ripped out....
To be in pain.


Why did you go?
Why did you leave me crying?
Does it bring you joy?
Does it make you laugh?

My auburn hair turning brown as I cry in the rain,
On my knees,
My blue eyes to the ground.

I make my hands to porcelain fists on the mud....
That once was called ground,
And soon I can't tell what are tears and what is the rain pouring.
Soon, I can't tell what is pain and what is the cold wind biting at me...
As the cold storm continues.

Soon....
I am drenched.
I cannot cry anymore.
No more sobs breaking through my chest.
And it feels as if the rain isn't there anymore....
It just is the warm breeze against my face.
Something I know isn't there.

Then,
I think I can hear your voice...
I think I can see your face....
I think can feel happiness again.

But only to open my eyes to the large room of a warm hospital....
Only to hear the beeping from a machine....
Only to feel empty once more.

My blue eyes searched the room,
then....
I found you.

You are back....
And I can see you,
I can touch you,
I can hear you.


I soon call your name,
You look up,
Your beautiful eyes staring up at me.
Your face red as you whisper, 'I am sorry, my dear, I am sorry.'
Tears running down your face.

Though I only smile,
Wanting to reach out to you,
To hold your warm hand,
To kiss you lips,
To hear your voice.

Then....
I felt whole again.
Even though I was in a hospital,
And I sick,
I was with you.

And I could hear voice and hold you and cry with you.
For you are special......
Special to me,
Good for me.

You are my soul.
You are my happiness.
You are......

Everything.


Well that was the end of the poem, I want to read it to my crush to tell him how I feel about him. But, I don't know if I should. So, would this poem be too much? (link)
this isnt a bad poem. the only thing is, its really long. i dont know how old you or this guy is, but its a little too long for comfort.

it also depends on how close you are to him - if you guys are realllly close and talk on the phone like every day, then he might like it. if you talk a few times a week or if you are unsure if he likes you, dont send it to him. it will scare him. on the other hand, you can show it to him and ask him if he likes it. if he honestly does and isnt lying, tell him it was supposed to be sent to him by you. itll make him rethink things.



Does anyone know how?
It would be great if you could tell me. (link)
You shouldn't be hacking into anyone's myspace. You shouldn't have to know.

I just entered a class this semester. It has to do with getting up and talking in front of others and dancing, acting, sharing my opinion. I'm a creative person don't get me wrong it's just I HATE BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT. I completely despise it and I need to learn to just push it away. Is there anyway to get over this or am I just going to have to go through the class and learn to suck it up?

Any advice is good advice,
AL (link)
I have this same issue. Don't look people in the face, and if it helps, practice in front of your friends, without anyone else watching. Also think of it this way. You won't be the worst one in the class, and everyone is doing the same thing you have to do. If you mess up, so what? If people make fun of you, they have no self-esteem and they're just jealous that they couldn't have done a better job like you did. You can also do the classical and picture everyone without pants on. Hope I helped.


So my boyfriend and I like to hang out at school in the morning during the zero hour. And seriously, we just talk. Occasionally I'll hug him, but there's honestly minimal kissing. It's just kinda how it is.

Anyway, most of the time around friends we just hug each other, and before class it's like, 'goodbye, *kiss*' and then we're done. It's not like it's anything all that bad that you don't see around schools anyway.

So the issue is, one of my friend's been giving me a hard time about it. Like, this girl was talking about how she hates when couples get all into it in public, and my friend was all, 'kinda like you guys!' And I told her that it wasn't how it is, and she said 'oh please, you guys are always all over each other.'

We're really not. Honestly, I'm not into the whole PDA thing, hugs are mostly all I'm comfortable with at school.

So...how can I talk to my friend about this? Obviously she thinks it's something bad, because she told me, 'people always say, oh, I saw her with her boyfriend'. Well, yeah, we talk. That's mostly it.

And should I talk to him too? Maybe say something about nothing other than hugging at school?
I dunno, this is bothering me. I always said I'd never get into the whole PDA thing and it looks like I have, even though I'm serious, it's not as bad as she makes it sound.

Help? (link)
Honestly, that's not PDA. I mean, technically it is because, you know, PDA = public display of affection and you're showing you like him. But that's not bad, and it's nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about.

I really don't think you have to talk to your boyfriend about it. You guys like eachother, there's nothingggg wrong with talking and hugging, and an occasional kiss. It's not like you're going to avoid him, right?

So in my opinion, I would talk to your friend. If it was my friend, I'd say "Look. I know you keep saying we're all over eachother and stuff like that but we're not. We just talk in the hallway and hug, and just kiss on the lips every now and then. I don't want to look intimate in the halls, and I'm not trying to. But honestly, we aren't doing anything bad or out of the ordinary. So please, don't keep saying that we get all into it."

Hopefully that helps.


there was a book mentioned in the book Notes from the Teenage Underground that the characters would open to a random page to get information on how they should handle a situation. does anyone know what book this is? thanks (link)
search google.
"books used by the characters in Notes from the Teenage Underground"
something along those lines


theres a song and its a rap/hip-hop song but the only part i know is where it goes
"ahh ah-ah ahh ah-ah ah-ah" and it kind of sounds techno-ish and when the guy sings that part it sounds like he's singing into a fan. that is the only way i can describe this in words. if anyone knows the song i will be very greatful and impressed by your skills of understanding this question (link)
ooh aah by gritz?


Okay, the songs I listen to on last.fm won't show up on my profile. It says it's scrobbling and I checked and it does scrobble, however it just doesn't show up on my profile.

I realised I had an older version and I just downloaded the new one but I'm still having the problem. However when I go to "check for updates" it says it can't connect to the internet and same when I "get plug in" so that may be the problem.

What do I do to fix it? (link)
you might have to click on something like "add to my playlist" and then you might have to update or save before exiting.


Is it illegal for someone under 18 to sign a contract without a parent or guardian present (Under Australian laws that is)

Also, if anyone has worked in fast food before have you ever had to sign heaps of stuff? Because I had to sign about 5 contracts (Filled with legal mumbo jumbo I didn't really understand, and neither did anyone else who started when I did) whereas people have told me they didn't have to sign ANYTHING.

(Once again in Australian law thingies)

Thanks :) (link)
all the contracts could be because of your age. if you're younger, there's more to worry about.


hey

how do i move multimedia (picture) messages from my inbox to a folder in "My Folder?" my regular text messages get moved -- but i can't seem to find a way to move my multimedia messages. does anyone know?

thank youu :) (link)
there should be an options button on the screen, and when you go to options, one of the options should let you move things to other places.
