I really like this guy and have for going on 2 years now. We've known each other for a while but we didn't really get to be friends until 3 years ago. He was in the hospital and I and another friend of ours went to visit him, but he was in surgery so we just left a note and our present for him with the nurse. Today my friend Lisa told me that when she saw him this afternoon, he told her he was glad he was in surgery when we came. Am I wrong to be completely offended by that? (link)
when someone is in surgery or in the hospital, they can feel really vulnerable. maybe your guy didnt want you to see him in a very vulnerable and unguarded state. some guys think that they need to be strong all the time and be the stereotypical guy. that might be the reason why he said that. i hope that hes well soon! hope that this helps!


How do you know if invisalign is right for you?

Is invisalign only for people with certain types of teeth? (link)
invisalign can be for almost anyone, but remember, the braces can show up yellow and absorb almost any color from the foods that you eat. they also dont work as successfully as metal braces do or as quickly. good luck!


does anyone know a site where i can watch "The outsiders" movie online? Ive checked movie stores for it buti cant seem to find any...ive also tried youtube but no luck of the whole movie. Thanks (link)
you can go to the library and they might have it. the outsiders is a very old movie that isnt very popular whatsoever, try the library, or just read the book. the movie is a little bit different from the book, so it would be good to read the book if you're reading this for school. good luck!


im 14/f and i have the symptons of bipolar disorder. i thought only older people could develop this order. is it possible that at my age i have this? (link)
i would suggest seeing a psychologist about this rather than taking diagnostics from random people online. it is possible for you to have bipolar disorder, but dont take any diagnostics from advicenators.com and go see a professional that can really help you understand what's going on. good luck!


ok i have over axcess ear wax and do you know of anything that i can use to dissolve it i need all the help i can get i already tried q-tips it only makes it worse please help (link)
you can go to your doctor and they can clean your ears out for you. its kinda weird, but its not that bad and ive been told that it really helps. good luck!


i'm always scared to IM this kid, I mean I kinda like him, but I also just wanna be friends w/ him & i feel tottalyyy weird, just being like hey! like.. i dno. should i just IM him? or will he think im tottaly weird or something??! (link)
one day, IM him and ask what the homework for a class you share is. eventually, you can start talking about (example: the teacher of that class) and get into a conversation. just be confident and breathe before you send the IM. breathing can really help to calm your nerves. hope this helps!


ok, I was just wondering, does ANYBODY understand french on this site? Cause I am french and it somtimes takes me forever to translate my questions into inglish. Hope that this sounds well. (link)
Bonjour, je ne parle pas le français à tout, mais il y a des sites web que vous pouvez utiliser traduire vos mots pour vous ! J'utilise actuellement "www.freetranslation.com". Ce traducteur toujours ne fait pas un travail parfait, mais ceci est presque parfaitement compréhensible. A propos, votre anglais est très bon ! J'espère que ceci aide, et la bonne chance !


ok. i am in band and play oboe. we are playing a piece called general lee and i lost it and the teacher wont give me another copy so i am trying to find it online. i am not gonna pay for it so i want to like print it offline but i cant find a website for it. does anybody no a good website for free printable sheet music (link)
if there are any other people that play the oboe n your band, why dont you ask them if you can copy their sheet music? that way, you'll have the notes that were made for your instrument. if there is no one else, then find someone with a sheet that isnt marked up very much. copy theirs, white out what is for their instrument, write out all of your side notes and then make an extra copy. good luck!


How does "Plumping Lipgloss" work?
I bought some yesterday, and it said your lips should tingle, which they did, but what does the mean/how does it plump your lips?
also, if it does plump your lips, how long does it last? (link)
the lip pulming gloss works by stimulating your lips and bringing blood to them to make them fuller. you can also get this natural effect by putting cayenne pepper on your lips. that looks more natural i must say. by bringing blood to your lips, the gloss doesnt do any harm. it just makes you lips bigger. its pretty cool. victorias secret has some called VERY VOLUPTUOUS lip plumper. its $18, but its amazing and has a light clear pink color that looks great.


14/f
ok well i promised to be pure until i get married. a guy at the age of 13 wanted to give up his virginity to me and i flipped so i was like ok i am going to make a chioce. i am going to be pure until marriage.what do guys think my age. will they not like me because of the choice i made? or what. (link)
if a guy pressures you to do anything and you dont want to, then theyre not worth your time. if guys dont like you, thats their problem. guys shouldnt like you for what you do or dont do when it comes to this. just do what feels right and dont do anything that you dont want to do or dont feel is right. hope this helps!


So I saw this magazine and it said
Mary Kate .. anorexic. 80 pounds.

So.. does that make me anorexic too or what?

Is 80 pounds anorexic?

I thought 70 pounds was anorexic.

I eat a lot. I weight around 80 pounds and I'm 5 feet tall. But if 80 pounds is an anorexic number or whatever, would I get the automatic label of anorexic from doctors?

(link)
its different for everyone. mary-kate is fully grown, and 80 pounds isnt right for her body. it depends how old you are, how tall you are, what activities you do, etc... there is no specific number. your doctor wont necessarily tell you that you're anorexic because you weigh 70 pounds. hope this helps!


i'm getting 2 teeth pulled in the back, but they are not far back they are the the first 2 teeth in the front of the back of my mouth on opposite sides on the bottom.

yeah, i was wondering how much will the novicane shot hurt? my friend said she didn't feel it, my other friend said it hurt the worst but like on a scale of 1-10 how bad is it really?

and i'm really scared for tomorrow. is it that bad?

kay,thanks (link)
the first time i had my teeth pulled, i didnt even know that there WAS a shot or anything. if you keep your eyes closed that can help. it depends how the needle is put in. ive had my teeth done multiple times and sometimes it hurts and other times it doesnt. it depends where the tooth is and how the shot is done. i dont really want to get into any graphics so not to gross you out. its actually not that bad. just remind the people pulling your teeth that you havent had this done before. be honest and tell them if you are afraid. ask if yo can work out some kind of signal to let them know if something really hurts. that helped me A LOT. it calms your nerves mostly. the pain in getting your teeth pulled is mostly because you focus so hard on something that you feel it more. if you want, keep the laughing gas on for about 30 seconds longer than when your feet feel a bit heavier. it calms your nerves (and sometimes smells good if they have flavors!) and i find that really helps. just calm down about it and breathe. dont focus on getting your teeth pulled. if you close yours eyes, you can sometimes create a whole semi-concious 'dream-session'. its pretty cool i must say. bring a cd player, an pod, or something with headphones to play music. first, as the person taking your teeth out if it's alright with him or her. make sure that the cord is behind/underneath your head if you do this. if its in front, then it can accidentally get caught on something. i hope this helps and good luck! oh and eating something cold helps afterwards. dont do it immediately. do it after the bleeding has calmed down. keep the gauze in your mouth until it has mostly stopped. if you keep changing the gauze, then you will bleed longer than if you hold it there for a longer period of time. bring some gauze from home. sometimes they office doesnt give you as much as you really need, so it helps to be prepared! hope this all helps!


I really don't know where else to turn right now but here. Okay, I know that I really shouldn't cut myself, but It's addicting. The teachers, my parents, they can't help! They don't get it. My parents say 'Pray'. I am Christian, but what do you do when Faith isn't enough? My teachers tell me I just need to want to stop. HELLO! I've wanted to stop! I can't! Someone please, If you know how to get unaddicted to the pain, please help me! (link)
find a hobby to do. if you like baking, then bake! if you like sports, then sport! er... play sports :) if you enjoy arts & crafts, then find something to do. try meditating. its actually pretty fun and extremely relaxing. and no. you dont actually float in the air (people have asked me before so i just say that naturally). listen to music you ENJOY. dont listen to pop music because you think it will make you feel better. listen to what you enjoy. have a day to yourself and in the first five minutes or so after you wake up, pick one trait that you like about yourself. no matter how hard it may be, just try. if your friends like something about you, then think of that. maybe keep a journal or something that you can take your thoughts down in and get them out. if you feel comfortable, find a friend that you can talk to easily, really trust, and confide in. if you are comfortable telling them things, then you can confide in them and have someone closer to eye-level help you.hope this helps!


Ok so my friend(15/f died, along with her dad and brother in a car crash. Her mom and older sister are the only ones who survived.
Alot of people on myspace and msn, ect... are writing a bunch of messages about her and to her family type thing. I was wondering if I should post a bullentin saying that everyone should write a message to them about her or w/e and then we should have someone give them to the mother. Is this a good idea or would it just hurt the family more? I just want to show support and what not so yea...what's the best thing to do? (link)
dont do anything just yet. you can collect messages on paper (handwritten is nicer than typed. people could mail them to you if they cant get them to you in person. just make sure that only people you trust and know in person receive your address. send it in email messages. things like myspace can be hacked within minutes. send it in a personal email not a myspace message if youre going to send it online.) and give them to her mom and sister later. give them enclosed in a box. tell them that they are messages that people wrote about your friend and how much they mean to her. remind them that the notes dont have to be read. just tell them that your friend meant a lot to so many people and offer them the box. they dont have to take it. in the case that they dont, keep the box and wait until they are ready. remember where you keep it and tell them that if they ever want to read them, that they can just call and you'll give them to them. dont say all of the cliches. it is much much much better to say absolutely nothing than offer the cliche symapthies such as "i know how you feel" "she lived a good life." all that stuff. it can feel very cold, empty, and insincere. dont try to get them to take the box. if they do, dont ask about it. dont ask if they read the notes. thats their business. im so sorry about your friend, and i think what youre doing is something really great and is a nice to remember her. whether her family reads the messages or not, its a nice thing to do. remember, dont offer up the box too quickly. do it when you feel the time is right and they are willing to talk about her freely on their own.


I'm in 8th grade, and I wanted to do well on my test scores, so far, I'm not doing so well. What can I do to imrpove test scores? Any help is appreciated. (link)
calm down about your tests. dont overlook things and study during the few nights before the actual test date. cram sessions arent that great because its hard to retain the info and its stressful. talk to your parents and they may be able to get you untimed tests so you dont become stressed about how much time you have. hope this helps! this all helped me. ♥


What are some bras that are very well padded and/or are push-up bras?

I'm a 34A and I'd like something that really enhances my bust size and cleavage. (link)
victorias secret has some great bras. expensive but theyre great. very cute too! dont do too much padding cuz if u wear a bathing suit you cant stuff or anything because it wont look right...


So, my eyeliner now [covergirl] has been looking bad lately. I'll put it on, and it will be crusty a couple hours later. Anyone know a eyeliner that goes on smooth and looks nice?

Let me know


Thanks (link)
ur eyeliner just went stale, thats why it crusts up. try MAC eyeliner. their eyeliner is amazingness in a stick lol. victorias secret has some good ones too.


i want to get invisiline braces when i have to get braces on. but ive heard that they dont work and theyre very pricy. what do you know about them? do they work? how much are they? (link)
you might want to rethink that... dont get invisiline. they can turn yellow. that looks really really really really really gross in my opinion. theyre not as strong as metal braces, so youll have them longer most likely. my braces already cost $6000 and theyre metal. i was planning on getting $8000 ceramic braces, but they can sometimes crack. who doesnt want broken ceramic stuck to their teeth for an extra $2000???? broken ceramic. very chic. metal braces are just fine in almost everyones opinion. they work well and almost everyone gets metal, so youre not gonna be sticking out anywhere. mmk so i hope this helps, and if youre not sure what to do, just ask your orthodontist about what he or she thinks will do the best job, and go with his or her preference. orthodontists are pretty well trained, so trust their decisions. ♥


ok im 13 and im in middle school and there is this kid who is ubsesed with me and he has told me i want to have "IT" whith u!
im not redy for that im 13 yo soo what should i do? im scard he will bad mouth about me if i dont and if i do he will tell everyone and then ill be called a slut so what should i do? :( (link)
as you said, youre not ready for it, so dont do it. dont do anything that youdont want to do. so what if he bad mouths you? at least you can be proud of yourself for doing whats best for you. do what you think is right. dont push yourself to do anything.


My friend is really moody and suicidal. I really want to help her but, i dont know what to say. She emailed me this:
"Nope, I'm not okay and no matter what I'll probably never be happy like everyone else is. But as long as I keep pretending I'm happy then that will make other people satisfied cause whenever I complain or tell someone my problems they just act like they got more and mine don't mean anything to them...so why do they even ask me ,"how are you?" Or," how did your day go?" They need to shut up if they don't care. And I wonder why people even talk to me when their so "afraid" of me anyway, (like the whole school is for some reason). I have always been a loner type of person and yeah, I don't think life is fun, the only reason I'm not dead is cause I don't have a gun to kill myself with. But I'm quite tired of living and I just get more angry towards everyone everyday, but it's okay cause I only hurt myself and the only person I really hate is me. I will never get anywhere in life so I quit trying (my grades show it!) Well I'm done blabbering on and on about my problems cause oops...I forgot, no one
cares!!!"

I really dont know what to say to that without having her mad at me. I tried the "suck it up" thing but, I can tell that didnt work. Please help me. (link)
if you think you two are friends, then you can tell her that if you didnt care about her, you wouldnt be her friend. tell her some things that you love about her and why shes important to you. tell her about how much fun you have with her, your great experiences with her, etc. remind her how much she means to you. dont do this all in an instant, or she might think that youre just saying it. tell her something every so often whether she feels happy, sad, angry, whatever. just remind her how great life can be and it might help. hope my advice helps!
