and wear a tight shirt, especially those plain ones that are like stretchyish

Q: I was just wondering is there a trcik for studying? Like write with colors or something? Some like tips would be great!


it depends if you are a Visual Learner, Audio Learner, or a Kinesthetic/Tactile Learner...(i learned about this is class 2days ago)

http://www.trentu.ca/academic/geography/swurtele/slr/learningstyles.html

this site has the characteristics of each one of those to know which of the three you are... and underneith the chart on that site...it has online tests you can take to find out

you see, everybody is one of those 3 learners...and each one studies differently and learns differently...the audio learner learns by listening for directions...the visual...has to SEE what to do, in order to do it...and the kinesthetic has to DO the task in order to understand it.......

once you find out which one of the three you are...you can look on that site to see which style of studying is most effective with you
and/or go to google and type
"(your type of learner) study tips" or something

o yah and studies show that to remember something, you have to write it down, say it outloud, and read it

Q: i'm a 15/f and i am trying to update my itunes...what are some really good songs?
since everyone has different music taste...

i suggest listening to the radio...
and
go to iTunes and look at the 100top downloaded songs section

those are good songs

Q: my mom gave me the option of not entering high school. i really want to do that because i dont think high school is for me. i dont want a GED either.

what do i tell my friends? what will i do until im old enough to do anything (work)?
you WILL regret not going to college
you are ruining any future you may have
how bout you try it out for a little while at least
but honestly..think about it...

you dont THINK highschool is for you
but you dont KNOW if it is
your friends will think youre stupid for doing this and probably tell you not to

dont quit after all these years

Q: my friends and family say im fat and they always tease me about it when im only 103 lbs and am 5'3. I dont think Im fat but everyone else does. What do I do?
dont take this stuff so seriously

im 5'4 and 105 and IM not fat so neither are you
they are joking with you because you are SO skinny

so dont take this seriously, theyre not calling you fat, theyre calling you underweight

if its honestly bothering you though, just tell them that that its not funny anymore, be like...are you trying to make me anorexic......lol i doubt they would say it again

Q: Is it possible to put songs from my ipod onto my computer? Recently my computer got many viruses and Windows (XP) has to be reinstalled so I lost almost all of the music on my computer. Now on iTunes it says names of songs, with an exclamation point beside it, meaning that iTunes cannot find the songs on my computer. Do I have any other options?

by skipping lunch, you are actually slowing your metabolism which in the long run will actually make you GAIN weight...never ever ever skip a meal...its one of the worst things you can do to yourself, especially since you want to lose weight

Q: i hate my self because i have hairy arms.. i never wear t-shirts even if it is 90degrees because i just hate it.. i hate my body .. what do i do ????????
ok i used to do the same thing...

just shave your arms, seriously lots of people do it...i do it! and nobody cares if you shave your arms

you dont even have to shave everyday, you wont notice the hair after a while...

just shave your arms its easy and fast and you can wear tshirts if you do


*edit*
alright i just saw that someone wrote "dont shave it will grow back dark and thick" thats not true. i would know. the more you shave, the thinner the hair gets.....ive shaved my arms for like a year, and now the hair is thin so my arms feel smooth even if i dont shave.....

also i saw all these people are like...omg dont shave its bad....actually you will feel alot better about yourself and dont bleach if you have very hairy arms....it looks SO bad, its the worst [if you have VERy hairy arms]

o ya and i also read that girl who said someone was making fun of her cause she shaved her arms..........well depending how hairy your arms are.......you will get made fun of so much more if you dont shave them...actually no one ever made fun of me shaving my arms, but i got made fun of cause i used to have hairy arms, it was the worst

Q: i use gucci envy me
and i spray like 3 sprays and in less than
and hour you cant smell it
whats a good smelling perfume
that actually last for a couple of hours?!
and that isnt wayyyy to expensive
you should use that body spray by secret, they sell it at any drugstore and they have all different scents....i sprayed it on me in the morning once, and people could still smell it at night

Q: does anyone know how much invisalign braces cost? i have gaps in my teeth & i'm really considering invisable retainers. also do most insurance companies cover them even it's only partially?
it depends on the severity of your teeth...you definetly should go here

http://www.invisalign.com/generalapp/us/en/faq/index.jsp

you have to schedule an apointment at your local invisalign clinic....
you have to qualify as a candidate ....

so ya definetly go to that site it will answer any questions you have...

i want invisaligns myself so i know alot about them haha hope that helps!

P.S.

you will probably do this just so you know:

What is Invisalign Express?

Invisalign Express is an orthodontic treatment designed to correct mild orthodontic problems such as minor crowding and spacing. Since it's designed for mild problems only, treatment time is generally less than six months. Ask your Invisalign certified doctor for more information on this new treatment.

Q: 13/f this may sound stupid, but i really don't like braces, they gross me out and soon I have to get braces. I know theres pretty much no way i can get out of them, and i can't use invisiline or anything. the only thing that will work for me are real metal braces. Is there a color or something that will make it look less gross? And is there a way that I could make the whlole braces process go quicker. Any tips or just anything about braces would be greatly appreciated.
ok i saw that other people said to get clear ones or whatever? DONT. they get stained from food and stuff and look DISGUSTING its sick do NOT get them i know so many people who have them and they hate them its really gross, they get all yellow and stuff

Q: Is concealer bad to use?
People keep telling me it is.

I've been using it for a while and it hasn't made me break out.

They say it's oily and bad for your skin.

Is it?

I find it.. healing my acne though. My acne is less red [when I'm not wearing makeup] and it's smaller.

So no concealer or what?
it depends on the kind of concealer youre using...i bet youre using a medicated concealer with salicylic acid in it...thats good it helps take away acne

concealer is fine they sell lots of different kinds so if youre concerned about it, get one thats oil free and wont clog your pores....but im pretty sure youre already using one

dont listen to what your friends [or whoever told you that] or whatever are saying cause they seriously dont know what theyre talking about....yes some concealers can clog your pores but there are many that dont, you just have to choose them well....your friends probably are just talking about cheap concealers cause the higher the price the better the makeup

.....if you go to a makeup department store like sephora or nornstrom, or ulta or whatever than you can definetly ask one of the professionals that work there if they can help you pick a good one out...theyre very good they know what theyre talking about

if you have any other questions about makeup or anything you can definetly ask me, i know a ton about everything makeup

hope that helps

Q: What's a really good masacara? Something that makes your eye lashes look really think but doesnt clump. Mine clumps so badly and makes my eye lashes stick together and it is almost impossible to wash out (covergirl)
definetly definetly definetly

Bad Gal Lash by Benefit.........

they sell it at sephora and macy's and places like that its soo great it looks like you have fake lashes its 20bucks but it is so worth it...its the best i wear it everyday and its super easy to wash off

it makes ur lashes look so thick without any clumpage its great haha you gotta get it

EDIT**
ya you can just try it on at sephora or ulta or whatever and see if you like it instead of buying it and testing it

Q: ok so school is starting, and im going shopping. and i was just wondering what you guy mmight suggest for the best makeup to buy, i am lookign for a very good mascara, foundation or a good blemish concealer, i am a bretty fair skin tone, and very little if any blemishes, so i would like to keep my skin that way by using make up that doenst damge my skin. any suggestions?
if you want really good makeup i suggest sephora or ulta, you know, one of the department stores like nornstrom....drugstore makeup is good, but this stuff is better......but it does cost more

best mascara is Bad Gal Lash...by far...i love it...it makes my lashes look fake..

ALWAYS get a foundation at a department store like sephora...and the professionals there can really get you a perfect shade for your skin, they really know what theyre doing...and they can give you help with anything else.......some drugstore foundations can be good, but more a little more, you can get a flawless foundation, trust me always splurge on your foundation

if you need any makeup tips or anything message me...i know alot about makeup and i can answer any questions you might have

Q: Where can you get funky iPod cases for less than $20?

I've searched everywhere. Even Google.

Please only answer this if you own a patterned iPod case, and you know exactly where to find one. "Maybes" are not helpful at this time.

Q: I am looking for a breed of dog (mixed is fine) that is especially good for children, and it would be great if it did not shed much. Thanks for any suggestions!
get a shih tzu.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=shih-tzu

i have one they are adorable and dont bite or anything they are very gentle and dont shed at all, they are curious and care for the owner ALOT they love to play and love attention, they are apartment dogs and dont need alot of exercise but exercise is good they are very playful
they are the most lovable dogs and they love affection, and are so gentle with everything they wouldnt hurt a fly
they are very intellegent

but i dunno how good they good be with very young children as they are gentle dogs and they would perfer to be calm and sitting on your lap instead of a HUGE amount of rough housing...

my shih tzu doesnt mind rough housing at all, hes very hyper...so i think it depends on the dog, but shih tzus are a really good dog to get, research them...they are shy at first so you gotta warm up to them

to forget to nueter/spay! xoxo hope that helps

i think thats it..
thanks.
it depends if you shared a drink/kissed someone who had mono, ive had it twice it sounds like you have it

some common symtoms of mono are

fever
sore throat
enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the neck and armpit
general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
drowsiness
loss of appetite
muscle aches or stiffness
enlarged spleen
rash
Less frequently occurring symptoms include:

jaundice (yellow cast to skin)
headache
neck stiffness
sensitivity to light
cough
shortness of breath
chest pain
rapid heart rate
fatigue
nosebleed
hives

The most common symptoms of mono are fever, severe sore throat, swollen glands, and fatigue. Serious symptoms can include abdominal pain, which may suggest an inflamed spleen and liver, and difficulty breathing, which can suggest swollen glands in the throat closing the airway.

Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) for fever and pain control.

Throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water may soothe a sore throat.

Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Rest in bed and limit activity according to the degree of the illness.

Avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports until the doctor allows resumption of activities. The spleen may be enlarged, and vigorous activity may cause it to rupture.

Most doctors believe that a person with mono should postpone strenuous activities for at least 1 month after the onset of symptoms or until the spleen has returned to its normal size.
