FunAdvice Advice from: devonjade http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/devonjade Hi, I'm Devon. I'm 17 years old. I stand 6'4'' tall. I love music and I have been in many bands over the years. I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to health and lifestyles so ask me anything you want. I'm a great listener and I love meeting new people. I'll talk to anybody. :) en-us Re: Why do people think god is real? like I've mentioned before. humans were designed with one flaw: the belief that everything has to have come from someplace. Riddle me this: if god created us, where did he come from? I don't believe in him. I'm one of the few that believes that we just appeared here. I know it sounds far fetched and all but there really doesn't have to be a reason. What if we all just appeared from nowhere but our minds can't handle that kind of an answer? Did you ever think of that? devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:57:24 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/god_isnt_real 300404 Re: Would you rather keep or give away a quadzillion bucks? I'd give all but $1 billion to charity. Gotta invest some of it. ;) devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:48:22 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/would_you_rather_no_3 300383 Re: What are the pros and cons of antidepressants? ah man, I could list so many... fatigue, increased thoughts and attempts of suicide (both on and off the medication), they may actually cause more depression, hopelessness, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach aches, headaches, lack of focus. They really mess you up devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:47:25 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_are_the_pros_and_cons_of 300381 Re: Can you get pregnant from swallowing? no you can't get pregnant from swallowing... tho cum actually cleans your teeth out and helps kill plaque. it's better than most dental hygiene products out there. so swallow all ya want. It's actually good for you. ;) devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:44:13 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/mmkay_can_u_get_prego_from_swallowing 300371 Re: Will this diet work? haha, TECHNICALLY you can eat whatever it is you want if you just eat in smaller portions. Balance your meals out. Avoid red meats... avoid saturated fat. Try to choose whole wheat bread over white bread. Drink fat free milk... no ice cream. drink lots of water. Look up some other workouts. Don't use the treadmill all of the time. Go out for walks. Walking outside is better than a treadmill. devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:42:33 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/will_this_diet_work_please 300369 Re: Would you rather be eaten by ants or a lion? I choose the lion. Ants have a way of... crawling inside of you and eating you from the inside out... sound fun? I don't think so. devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:40:30 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/would_u_rather 300364 Re: How do you get rid of stretch marks? stretch marks don't go away. They're caused by your body growing, your skin stretching itself from weight gain or height gain. I'm 6'4'' tall and I have stretch marks all over my body from gaining muscle mass too quickly and from having so many growth spurts. Just don't focus on them. They aren't ugly... and most people don't care about them. :) devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:39:21 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_hate_my_belly_help 300359 Re: Weight/size conversions 5'2'' 140lbs... it all really depends on the amount of muscle you have. Muscle weighs more than fat. Thus, you could be really skinny but have a lot of muscles and weigh 140lbs. I dunno... I'll guess a size 6? devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:37:48 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/weight_size_conversions 300355 Re: Why don't people think Islam is the right religion? religions are different in different cultures. Who's to say the answers in that religion are "right"? It's all a matter of opinion. devonjade Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:36:29 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_don_t_people_think_islam_is_the 300354 Re: How to growl/scream? exhale everything from your stomach, tightening your abs as you scream. It makes it deeper and clearer. Trust me, I've been screaming to metal music for years. xD devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:51:34 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/screaming 298929 Re: Anyone know any good workout music? I listen to heavy metal myself. listen to anything you can have fun dancing to or singing to. If you have a list of songs that get you motivated, then make a disc of them to work out to. :) devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:49:59 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/anyone_know_any_good_workout_music 298923 Re: Are pickles bad for you? pickles aren't bad for you so eat away! :) devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:41:08 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/pickles 298909 Re: Prove god exists I dont know if I believe that... does your grandfather suffer from serious brain trauma now? Because after you are declared "dead" for over 3 minutes or so, your brain cells start dying off at a rapid pace. So you're saying he was dead for 5x that amount? That means he's basically a vegetable. You're either lying or he wasn't dead. Sorry. You should get your facts straight. As for there being a god. I say believe in what you want. I honestly think it's load of trash and that the real answer to life is something that humans can't comprehend. Ever think that we're just here and there isn't a reason for it? The biggest error in the human brain is that we must find a reason for everything... what if there isn't a reason? And what if when we die nothing happens... we're just dead. Just like a machine when it's battery dies. It's the same concept. I know it's hard to think about it but It opens the door to a huge discussion. :) devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:40:34 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/prove_god_exists 298908 Re: How to get in shape... alright, first off. EVERYBODY IS ON A DIET!!! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!!! ok. now that I've cleared that up for the person above me. Change your diet to healthier foods. No matter how tempting, avoid saturated fat. You'll feel awful after you eat it. Replace it with liquid (preferably water) or fruits/vegetables. If you want meat, chicken is the best choice. Stay away from fast food joints. Run, ride your bike, do 6 inches and bicycles on the floor, do squats, wall sits, leg presses. It'll take a month or two to show some serious results but if you work out the muscle groups a lot then it will be fine. :) devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:35:42 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_to_get_in_shape_99662 298898 Re: Is it ok that I don't finger myself? it's your body, do what you want with it. you don't have to experiment at such a young age, if at all. Relax. it's all good. :) devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:28:00 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/fingering_141 298874 Re: How can I lose weight on my lower half? do exercises that work on your butt. What you need to do is form muscle there. You don't need to lose weight, you need to tone. Run or jog a little more. Do some squats. That'll fix it. But yes, you are at your average weight so don't worry about that. devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:26:54 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/helppp_13735 298873 Re: How do I finger myself? just relax and experiment. It's your own body- you can touch yourself wherever you want to. Just go at it. Don't be afraid. devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:25:30 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/first_time_fingering_myself 298869 Re: Should I lose some weight? you're perfectly fine at the weight you're at. you're still young and still growing. Relax, you're at your average weight. You should be happy. :) devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:24:00 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/should_i_lose_some_weight 298863 Re: How can you get rid of hickeys it's not just guys giving it to girls... the majority is the other way around...but anyways. make-up is the only thing that works. hickeys are popped blood vessels. it'll take a little while before it goes away. devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:22:26 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_can_you_get_rid_of_hickeys 298858 Re: Am I pregnant? CONDOMS CONDOMS CONDOMS CONDOMS CONDOMS!!! I can't stress that enough! And try to keep your clothes on. Believe it or not- guys can ejaculate just fine with their clothes on. The many wonders of grinding and friction. But if he happens to have his pants off, have him slip on a condom before doing ANYTHING!!! Unprotected sex, including orally, is just plain stupid. Don't risk anything. And you might want to take the pill if you're going to engage in anything sexual. Just a thought... devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:17:19 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/help_i_mite_be_pregnant_at_15 298846 Re: Am I Hot? honestly, "hot" isn't a compliment. You are a good looking girl. "hot" is just a sexual description of a person meaning you basically want to have sex with them or you could picture yourself having sex with them. It isn't really anything special. But you are beautiful. :) devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:13:07 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/hot_134082 298831 Re: What is my ideal weight ? around 130lbs. if you weigh less, that's fine. A little more isn't bad either. devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:09:05 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_is_my_ideal_weight_19325 298821 Re: Does running help with anything? in all honesty, situps don't do NEARLY as much as other exercises. Lifting weights, well, you don't even need to do that either. If you want abs, run a couple miles a day on your treadmill with your stomach tightened. Some other exercises: Lay on your back with your legs straight out, raise them 6 inches off the ground and hold them for 30 seconds. Do 3 sets of 10 of these. Lay on your back and pedal your legs up in the air like you're on a bicycle. Tighten your abs while you do these exercises. Push-ups are good for your arms. Do them slowly. Squats are good for the legs. Try getting a big ball to exercise with. You can do wonders with those. If you really want bulky arms... then I guess you could lift weights. I mean, I can bench over 370lbs but that's because I'm a power lifter. I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for. devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:06:28 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/does_running_help_with_anything 298817 Re: Good comebacks when people make fun of me? okay, fighting back doesn't do much. Ignoring them doesn't do much... just tell somebody that they're bothering you. Eventually they'll learn that they're being immature and they'll back off. devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:02:33 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/fat_cow 298810 Re: Should I get my nose pierced? don't do it just because your friends are doing it. that's just plain stupid. I'm all for the saying "It's my body and I'll do what I want to it" but you should sit down and really think about this. Do you want to have your nose pierced? Or is this just another fad? Think about it. devonjade Sat, 05 Apr 2008 18:57:56 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/should_i_get_my_nose_pierced 298800
