Okay, well I am only 13 so I know my vibrato/singing should improve as I get older but I need to make sure I'm not doing anything to damage my voice now so if something in my vibrato or just normal singing voice sounds unhealthy please tell me!

The video is only around 20 seconds long because I'm mainly worried by the vibrato since doing it wrong can be dangerous, thank you to everyone who answers :)

Well, a few years ago I was walking down the stairs but I swung around too quickly and my mouth hit the banister and my front four bottom teeth sunk into my lip (I know, gross sorry but I had to give the reason why it happened) so it started bleeding. A while after that this ball shaped lump developed in the left of my lower lip and it feels as if someone has actually put a bead or something in there. This has been here for YEARS and when I open my mouth the mirror you can see the lump on my lip, do you know what this is and if I should see a doctor about it?

Thanks in advance

Okay, so I used to be absolutely fine a few years ago. I loved talking to people, I felt confident, cracked a joke whenever I liked and didn't feel upset If people didn't laugh - I'd just make another one later and people usually found it funny. I would spend my evenings talking to friends and just enjoying life, but then there was just a random point where it stopped. I don't know what happened, I just didn't want to speak to people and every time I went onto MSN (that was where I spoke to my friends) I ended up appearing offline as soon as people came on and I just switched to Youtube. Now, I get nervous when talking to new people, ignore messages because I'm scared of conversations starting, and when I get invited out to places by my friends I don't want to go because I think everything over like 'What if they get bored of me? What if it gets awkward and we have nothing to do?' At first, I didn't care that much because it felt like that was just me, but then ever since my sister went to university it feels like stuff is getting on top of me.

And then there was a moment that made me break down in tears. I miss my sister so much, but when she skyped me, I sat there still and shocked and signed out. I don't know why I did this, it felt like it would be an awkward conversation but she's FAMILY, I just don't get how I could feel like that with someone so close to me. I'm terrified because I keep thinking, what will happen when I go to university? Am I going to end up not talking to my family?

When I do actually answer people's messages, or when I've been talking to someone for a while in real life it just feels like my energy goes. For example, in lessons at school, if I sit next to a friend then for the first few minutes I'll be energetic, but eventually it will feel like it drains every last drop of my energy when I keep speaking.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEAAASE HELP ME

I just don't know how much longer I can handle being like this, I'm missing out on so many opportunities and friendships just because of my awkwardness

Please help!!!

My dog is a 6 year old border terrier, this evening she was okay, then came and sat next to me while I was on the sofa. I was sitting there, then I suddenly felt some shaking and heard a panting sound. I looked down and my dog was sitting with her shoulders tensed, tongue out and panting heavily. When she gets up, she either stands for a few seconds then sits down or manages a few steps before sitting. She's trying to stay next to us but she finds it hard to move. Her heartbeat is rapid and her breathing is even but extremely fast. She's trying to lie down on the mat but every so often she has to raise her head and pant really heavily before settling down again. If you put your hands on her sides you feel her shaking rapidly.

So, the symptoms are:

Fast heartbeat

Loud panting/Heavy Breathing

Tensed body, especially the shoulders

Shaking rapidly

Fatique- Standing and sitting again almost straight away or taking a few steps

Trying to sit by us

PLEASE PLEASE HELP

We are trying not to make a big fuss since our fear would be transferred to her and make her feel like there's something even worse going on, but we are keeping a close eye on her and waiting for everyone to make it home

Thanks in advance

I love her to pieces and she means the world to me, but she has some habits that make me feel stupid and boring.

1) If there's a TV on in the room, she will stop and stare at it, completely ignoring me and won't pay attention to anything I say. She doesn't even apologise when she finally listens, she just eventually turns around, annoyed, and says 'What' in a bored voice.

2) When I was having a serious talk with her because I was really upset about something I don't think is necessary to say here, she grabbed a book from my book shelf and started reading it.

3) When we're on the laptop or on the Wii, she'll take complete control and not let me do anything. When I ask her if I could quickly use the mouse/wii remote, she nods slowly then changes the subject and ends up not giving it to me.

4) If we're using anything electrical, she'll just stare at it and make it seem like I'm not there.

5) She ALWAYS corrects me. Even when she's wrong. I try to ignore it but it just irks me so much, especially as her spelling is not the best but I don't say that to her.

6) She gets really annoyed, REALLY easily. One time she invited me round her house (we see each other almost every night as we live across the road from each other) and I said no because my sister's boyfriend was coming to our house and it was the first time I'd see him. She sent me a paragraph back like 'OKAY THEN, FINE! IF YOU WANT TO BE LIKE THAT AND NOT WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FRIEND THEN OKAY. WHATEVER' and another night she invited me round her house and I couldn't go because it was my sister's 18th birthday and we were going out to a restaurant. She went crazy and said she didn't believe I was going, so I had to send her loads of pictures just to prove I was going out.

Please help me, I don't want to lose her as a friend but this is crazy.. I'm so stuck

It started off really good, I was in some kind of weird spa that was outside in a clearing between some trees. It sounds strange now but in my dreams I was like 'wow, this is so cool'

But anyway, we were holding candles for some reason that burned until a certain point and then some guy came along and put out the flame and gave another candle and for some reason it seemed really relaxing in the dream. But the 2nd time it burned down enough the man didn't come so I stood up to go to him but there was a branch hanging and the flame caught on and started burning up the whole thing. I tried blowing it out but it didn't work so I woke up my mum, who was next to me, then my dad and then my sisters (yeah, they were asleep holding fire :L) and then we ran so fast and everytime we turned round there was a massive wave of fire chasing us. We came to a kind of cliff thing above my house that isn't there in real life and realised we'd have to jump. I decided for no apparent reason that it was time to go and put on some shoes lying a bit away in the grass even though there was a massive fire right behind us, but halfway through putting them on, the fire came over the hill bigger than ever and I just jumped right off the cliff and landed on a hedge right outside my house. My family all got there too somehow and then the fire was just completely gone.

So basically, I've seen controlled fire, wild fire, trying and failing to put out a fire and eventually escaping being killed by fire. And my feelings changed all the time from relaxed to scared.

You can probably see why I couldn't just look up 'dream about fire' because there would be nothing specific enough.

Sorry it's so long, thanks in advance :)x

A while ago I was playing around with my friends when my wrist scraped against a tree and I got a cut, but it was small so I ignored it. I woke up this morning and for the first time since it happened my cut was hurting again. I looked down and there was a red line underneath the skin halfway to my elbow. It's now at my elbow and it's really worrying me. What is it, what could it do to me and should I go to the hospital?

Thanks in advance x

I have bad memory and don't usually remember things that happened a few years ago, but for some reason this one always sticks with me... anyway, when I was 3 once when I was about to go to sleep I heard this strange whistling noise outside so I looked out the window and when I did I saw a ghost beside my neighbour's house. It was black, which is strange, but the shape was almost exactly like a smaller version of dementors from Harry potter but as a less creepy version like with no body hands and stuff. I screamed for my mum but when she looked she said she couldn't see anything, and I remember her saying that she thought it was light from someone's house... Black light? I didn't believe it even then xD I haven't seen anything since then, but whenever I think about it I feel scared and unsafe and get really paranoid thinking I hear noises I don't and I get scared to look out the window at night.

Please tell me what you think so I can know what happened. Thanks, I hope you can help xx

My little sister is having a Christmas craze & wanted to know my friends' fave Xmas films... But it'd be a bit awkward to be asking that in may so I was wondering what your top 3 fave Xmas films are from favourite to 3rd favourite.

For me:

1) polar express

2) elf

3) either 'the town that Santa forgot' or one of the phineas and ferb Christmas specials.

How about you?

Okay, when I say calves I mean on my legs!

Every part of my upper body is slim, but then my legs are just enormous! However, it's just the bottom of my legs that are fat because my thighs... You can't even pinch the fat?! :/ why has all the fat gone to my calves and how can I tone them down?

Thanks, please don't be rude :/ xx

Okay, I've wanted a horse for as long as I can remember.

I've gone to summer riding camp where I was the only one to look after the horse for the whole week (so I CAN look after a horse and know what to do in emergencies etc.) and go riding every week and I've saved up about 900 pounds in the bank for a horse over the years of wanting one but still my parents say no...

Yes I know the costs (about 6.50 a day) and the livery, rugs etc. and my parents are both doctors so I'm pretty sure if I save up more money and buy the horse myself we can manage the cost but when I proposed this idea to my parents they still said no! I would even give up all my pocket money and have already said I won't ask for a new phone etc. however my parents won't budge.

I'm crying so hard because now after 7 years of asking only now i realise i'll never get a horse...

Also, no i won't lose interest in the horse as I have had my dog for 5 years now yet still I am intrigued by her.

2 questions... please answer? :(x :

1) what can I do to persuade my parents that i AM ready for a horse and am responsible enough?

2) for now what can i do to cheer up?

ohhh please help :((

We have loads in the garden, only discovered them today under a flowerpot...

BTW the whole rattapus thing is the name me&my friend who discovered it made up, not actually it.

I'm sooo confused.

WTF IS THIS ANIMAL LOL?!

I got my ears pierced on the 14th of January and thoroughly looked after my ears every night.

I took them out on the 25th of February and got an infection. I waited with them in, twisted them every hour or so for a few minutes, put the lotion on until the beginning of May when our school swimming started where i HAVE to take them out. my right ear ring always goes in fine now but...

Whenever it gets to putting my left ear ring in, I find the back of the hole has a scab sort of thing over the top of it! what can i do to prevent this happening? It hurts when i try putting them in with the back closed up and have to re-pierce the hole through the back.

Thanks, looking forward to trying your suggestions as it is very annoying now that I can't put ear rings in my left ear properly.xx

So there's this guy... let's call him james... and today he was talking to me after he'd broken up with someone and he was saying stuff like 'i doubt i'll fall in love again' and 'there are only 3 hot girls in the class but they're far far out of my league' and turns out i was one of those 3 :/ I said I wasn't hot (cos in my opinion i'm not hot) and he kept on saying incorrect answer and now he said he's gonna say out loud when we go back to school 'i think (my name) is hot) which i am not looking forward to... And then i suggested him trying to ask out the other 2 girls he said but he came up with problems for them...

Now there's this other guy i REALLY like (let's call him Ben) who has a great personality, amazing looks and is so funny! And he wants me to go to prom with him... I really want to go with Ben but I don't wanna turn down James :S what do i do?! :(

Our school was in the top 200 in UK last year for SATs so there's even more pressure on us. We're doing past year tests nearly every day and our teachers keep sending home soo much homework :/ I'm scared that I won't do well D:

In our practises I have got in all the subjects level 6 but then there wasn't all the nerves of the actual thing! I know you've all done them and think they're stupid now but now that they're so close looming over us and all the teachers slamming the pressure down on us... it's just so... I dunno how to explain it!

please can you give me any tips? I'm not thinking about doing tests at the weekend because i KNOW it'll make me think they're serious even when they aren't really 'cos i'm revising and I'll probably be so fed up of all the tests when it comes to the week!

And I'm going through to do the separate tests for people who can try level 6 in the exams so I have to do 2 weeks of SATs as well :(

Thanks xx

1] what is your favourite breed of horse?

Just curious to hear your answers! :)x

She licks me all over and chases me round a lot just to lick me. not cos I'm dirty or have mud on me, I shower every day, at my worst every 2 days :S I was just wondering.

And also she tries to sniff my butt!! Why does she do these things? :S

Thanks x

Please Read:

I have loads of hair in my pits and my bum and so much discharge that it sticks my lips together and when i pull them apart with toilet paper there's big clumps of thick white mucus all round my bum... I get aches low in my stomach occasionally, but nothing comes from it so they're probably normal? I don't know, but I'm quite worried about them and want to know if my period is coming soon so I can prepare and not worry so much...

Thanks xx

I have sony vegas movie studio HD 11.0 on my old laptop but I recently got a new laptop... how can I transfer my activated sony vegas program onto the new computer, because as you may know sony vegas movie studio HD 11.0 is expensive and I am NOT willing to spend it again for a new license. Thanks
