i have really frizzy curly hair and for the last year i have been straightening it everyday which gets rid of the frizz aswell as the curl but this summer i really don't want to be straightening my hair everyday i want to enjoy my time in the sun but without the frizz i have tryed loads of different frizz shampoo's but i can't find one that will make me have cute natural curls (like i have) but without the great frizz,
anyone know anything i can try??

at wal-mart, you can get pantene-pro v defining curld shampoo and conditioner, and also you can get biosilk anti-frizz serum

I swear something is wrong with me. This happened last time and it's happing again. After like the first 2 days of going out with a guy, I don't want to go out with them anymore. I don't know why. I just stop liking them as much as before when we weren't going out. I almost made an excuse not to hang out with my boyfriend today but then my other guy friend (B) wanted to come along and I wanted to hang out with him so I went and hung out with them. Supposably "B" likes me. Before me and my boyfriend were going out, B said he would go out with me if he knew I liked him. At the time I thought of his as a close friend, but now I think I like him instead. I just kept denying that I liked him. We've been friends for a bit and dated way back in the day, kind of. well not really... it was one of those stupid little kid relationships where you barely even talk to your significant other.

Anyways, I don't know what to do! We've only been going out for 4 days and I'm already wanting to break up with him. This always happens to me. I hate breaking up with people and I don't know if I should. Ughhhh. I can never make up my mind.

This Friday my whole grade is going on this trip and we are going on this romantic night cruise. It'd be fun to share it with someone I actually like-like, and I think that may be "B" and not my boyfriend. Arrgghhhh. My goddddd.

What should I do? I'm not sure if I like him anymore and I'm not even sure how to tell anymore if I do. Has this happened to anyone else?

OMG the same exact thing happened to me! I think it;s just a phase... I hope...

I have acne (thats not really the point) and i used acne cream on my face but i recently stopped using it around my nose because id get really dry skin there. My problem is that it is still all dry and flaky and red there, even if i dont use medication there. I tried lotion and vasoline but that didnt work. The lotion just made it more red and the vaseline made it look oily and i dont want it clogging my pores .. again. I dont have any money to go out and buy anything so does neone have any suggestions what i should try to use? Thanks!!

y0u could try Clean and Clear Morning Burst lotion; it works well to hydrate skin (also making you look more awake) and doesn't clog pores, and works as sunscreen. Also, if you spend a lot of time in the sun and don't wear sunscreen, your skin dries out more and is more oily.

My sister is making an appointment for me to get birth control pills and she says they have to give me an exam and look at my vagina and put something inside of it but someone told me they dont need to do that unless ive ever been sexually active or if ive ever had sex. Do they have to do an exam?? (ive never been sexually active in any way)! If they have to give me an exam someone please tell me what tehy do?? Im freaking out! I dont want people seeing any private parts of mine! Thanks!

you should'nt be nervous; these people are trained doctors. you have to get one of these exams if you are planning on going on birth control or getting any tests no matter what.

Hey, my dad past away May 2004. This past year has been the hardest year of my life. I'm worried about myself because i was a hard core christian before my dad died and now i feel like im loosing faith because im mad at God for taking my dad from me! In youth last wednesday, our minister said that god is there through all your problems, im just really confused because he is the reason i have this problem! I know God does everything for a reason but i still cant seem to forgive and i feel like im going far away from him when i need him the most! What can i do to get back my awesome relationship with God?

Thanx!!!

remember- your beliefs are up to you!
religion is a personal thing, and you have absolutely no reason to feel at blame for bad things that happen... for instance, millions of jewish, christian, MANY innocent people died without reason in the holocaust, and g-d certainly didn't make that happen for a reason. it would take a long time to heal from trauma, but slowly you can heal your relationship with g-d.

See, I think I have OCD, and it really bugs me. It's starting to interfere with alot of things. Like when I pray at night, I feel the need to repeat some lines several times, and I always have to have my TV remote facing a certain way exactly, and all this other stuff, it's really bugging me, I have talked to my parents about it before but they don't really seem to get how much it interferes with my life, because most of the stuff I do is behind their back, like rearranging stuff and whatnot...

What I want to know is do any of you have OCD and what are some of your symptoms (if you feel comfortable sharing)? And where did you go to get tested for it, if you're undergoing treatment what kind and is it helping? Thanks so much if you help, I will rate if it's good advice!

Thx

OCD- obsessive compulsive disorder.
What you said ARE the symptoms for it; all OCD is is simply obsessing. Most good students, doctors, and detailed reporters and such have a little OCD, compelling them to do better. There is medicine you can take, but it IS normal(sort of), and a lot of people have it. If it interferes that much, corner your parents, and tell them how much it's stressing you out! Ask if you can get therapy or something of the likes of it.

Okay, 3 of my very good friends think they're fat... and they're NOT!!! we're only 13 years old and they've been going on all these diets. They hardly eat anything at lunch! I cant convince them that they're not fat! I'm really afraid they're going to go anorexic or bulemic. I dont know what to do, or what to say to them to convince them they're not fat. I've talked to them MANY times about it, but they just dont believe me. It really bugs me that they think they're fat, cuz they're not fat AT ALL! please help me!

there's a couple things you can do:
1) Give 'em a taste of their own medicine. @ all times (just for a little or untill they stop), start psychin' out on them, complaining about yourself, and see what they do. Or,
2) Go somewhere with just you and them, and tell them calmly (or crazily) that they're NOT fat, and if they can't realize that they need a new friend or
3) Go on a hunger strike, and if they really care about you, they'll start eating normally (or something of the type.)

I have the weirdest problem. Everytime I have a little sickness, I think it's huge. Like if I have a headache, i think it's a brain tumor. If I have a stomach ache I think I'm gonna hurl or that I have the flu. Yes, I know it's weird and freaky. But I need help!! i wanna stop. Please help me

Either your falling apart like Chicken Little's sky, or you are suffering from what's known as Hypochondria; you think you are severely sick from the most trivial of things. There are medicines that can treat you, or you can go to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Just remember... you .ArE oK.

ok so you met this guy and you like fell in love with him and he liked you for awhile but he lives in a different city and you talk to him all the time and you see him occasionally but then he starts liking this other girl who is a slut and your still like in love w/ him and you cant get over him even though you have tried.and then you thought you were finally over him and then you saw him for a weekend and fell for him again and that is what happens everytime you see him. what do i do?

First of all- does he know that you're fallin' for him? If he doesn't, go ahead and tell him!
He could be secretly in love with you, and you don't know it. If so, (if you can drive,) go and see him. If not, catch a ride to meet him somewhere in the middle, and just talk. Tell him how you feel about his slutty g/f, and if he really doesn't like you, try and get a hobby or flirt w/ other boys, try and get your mind offa him; no boy is worth going crazy for. (who knows... you might make him jealous;)

Ok I think that I am fat, and I feel like I can't do anything about it. I have tried eating right and exercise and all of that but it doesn't work. I can't stop eating stuff, I work at Dairy Queen and I get a 50% discount on stuff and I always give in and eat there. I have stretch marks and I am going to have to shop at a "fat kid store" soon if this does not change. What should I do? What would motivate me to change this and how can I acquire the will power to change?

you just have to start eating healthier; and maybe excercising a little bit each day, go to the gym.
start eating vegetables more; for dinner, have five different colors on your plate ( green, red, orange, yellow(non-artificial).)
say, if you eat healthy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, give yourself a treat for dessert.
(try working at a non-food related store!)
^do you eat live live, or live to eat?^

good luck!

I kept me and my boyfrends relationship a secret from my best freind for 4 days and then i told her. but as soon as i walked into school she started yelling at me becuase my ex bf told her that i had been dating him for for 4 days. shes really mad. my bf is one of her best frends and mine to. but she is only mad at me((she likes him)) they talk all the time and he never told her so now shes only mad at me. i told her why i didnt tell her. it was becuz i knew she liked him and she would b mad so i had to think of what to say and i wanted to have like a actual convo with her bout it and since she is grounded she wasnt and still isnt aloud to talk on the phone so i dont kno what to do. can u give me some advice?

try and see if there's any other way of talking to your friend; over the internet, at school; maybe even get a ride over to her house and say it's something urgent.
Next time, just tell her; i'm sure she doesn't mind you going out with her crush as much as you not telling her about it, it probably makes her feel betrayed as a friend.
good luck

UGH!! everyday before cheerleadin i always put on loads of deorderant on!! and i put perfume on...but my stunt group is always complaining about someone having B.O.! and i think they are all saying its me!! but i dan never smell anything when they say it smells...and i dont get how it could be me cuz i wear sooo much deoderant and sweet pea perfume. UGH!! its getting soo aggravating....does anyone know of any really good deorderant!!??? and fast!!??

first of all; it's cheerleading, so your gonna get sweaty; but have u ever considered what smells bad -is- the deodorant and perfume loaded on? it's probably not u, but try switching to an unscented deodorant(w/ anti-peresperant)

i have this guy frend who i really like but i kno for a fact that he has a gf and i also no for a fact he likes me alot. (he has told like everyone he likes me) he says he would rather be with me and not her. what should i do?

first of all, if he likes u, why is he going out with her? well, first, make sure he's not a "player"...(lol). If he ReAlLy likes u, then wait for him to aAasSskKk yoU oUt... Don't make yourself a reputation (or concience) that you would "cheat" with him... patience is a virtue.

Im 14 and a girl.. lol i was ready the lil note thingys. One of my guy frends who i relly like, acts like he likes me. but the only problem is that he has a gf who i just found out about but he still acts like he likes me. what should i do? i really like him.

If he acts like he likes you, then he probably does... there is a chance that he's just saying he has a girlfriend to make you jealous... guys are stupid like that. You should tell him how you feel, and he'll prolly feel the same way.

Hot Topic or just target(cheaper), and get normal smoky make-up.

Hey!! I'm 14 andI wear my hair in a low pony tail EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!! im not kidding!! I do this because it is always sticking up somewhere. I can't get a straightener ( im not allowed to) and i can't blowdry it straight. I have brown hair, below the shoulders and it curls alot at the ends. Does anybody have any suggestions on ANYTHING i can do with my hair!!?!?!??!?! Thanks so much!! I'll rate you high:):)
Thanks!

there are 'straightening serums' u can get, or straightening mousse, or you could try scrunching/curling it, there are also straightening brunshes, or u could get it chemically how u want.

My sister was like to me "what are you drinking" and im like "apple juice" and she starts yelling me calling me a heffer and crap! like im not even on my diet anymore...and im not even fat but she says if i eat stuff and drink all this sugary stuff im gonna be huge later on and im like..uhh its just juice. i was thirsty so i drake some. and she was like thers crystal light..and i didnt feel like crystal light so i drank apple juice..we always fight about this and i know she cares about me and she doesnt wanna see me get huge...but she always makes me cry and she makes me feel fatter times 200. idk what to do..i hate myself now i just wanna lose weight so im anarexic like her and then shes happy and she can get off my back. ugh! what do i say to her to get her off my back!!!

that's terrible of her; it lowers your self-esteem, and hurts both of you in the long run. have a talk with her... thats really immature. dont worry about it... if you have anyconcerns about your weight or fitness, excersize.
