GirlsLife.com - Not feelin' so hot? Turn up the tunes

In a study published in December, scientists found that when people focused on music while being subjected to painful shocks, they experienced relief. Those who came into the experiment the most anxious received the biggest benefit from the melodies they listened to.

What does that mean for you? The next time you’re freaking about a check-up or laid up in bed with a sprained ankle, try listening to music to relax your body. Pick slow, calming songs that soothe your soul. Why? The music can take your mind off your worries and pain, helping you calm down, in the case of a doctor’s appointment, or feel less pain, in the case of an injury. Hey, it’s worth a try, right?

Do you listen to music when you’re not feeling 100 percent?

Hey cornpie21, you could try using fabric softener on your clothes. There's a lavender scent from Downy that comes in a purple bottle and smells great. Make sure your perfume says eau de parfum instead of eau de toillete, because the parfum is a little stronger and lasts longer. The fragarences from body mists won't last at all. Spray the perfume on each sides of your neck and do a squirt on the back of your wrists. Bring cold bottles of water to class to keep you from getting so hot. Try to wear lightweight clothing to stay cool also. Hope this helps!! Xoxo

It's REALLY hot in our school. Some oft he rooms are moderate temperature, but some are like 80 degrees. I think its because of th heating system--it messes up a lot. The people who work there say that there is no way to fix it, some rooms are hotter than others. Well, because of this, i have a little problem. I smell. Like sweat. I'ts not fair. I use deodorant and perfume and i change my shirt for gym all the time! I take a shower every night, but i always seem to have pit stains and smell bad. Is there anything i can use to stop the sweating (besides a better deoderant?) Lynae P.

I definetly can not live without music. It's done a lot of good in my life. If it wasn't for music I woulf have never joined band, then I would have never have met my bf, & idk what I would do without him. <3

Hey novlist1307, nope it's not bad for your body at all. In fact is purpose is to bring pleasure to oneself. If you're not comfortable talking to your friend about it, then let her know. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I need help. I have a friend who masturbates. She claims it's no big deal. Is it bad for your body? Or is it just a bad habit? What should I tell her? I don't know how to handle it, and I really don't want to bring it up to my mom or hers. Please help.
Thanks!

Hey way2qt4u, I had a sitch like this with one of my besties too. I told our other friends about this date she had gone on, and I didn't know she didn't want me to tell them. I apologized to her and vowed to never tell something like that again. So let her know you're sorry, you made a mistake and won't happen again. Since she isn't talking to you may have to send her a text, email or voicemail. Hope this helps! Xoxo

My best friend found out that I told my other best friend who she liked and my other best friend is mocking her and blaming me for everything. I feel terrible and now she won't talk to me. I broke a promise and now I'm sure she hates me. Please help I think she is never going to forgive me. What should I say to?? please help me!!!!
Thanks
