hey my lips are always dry and i dont know why. i have to lick them all the time to keep them wet. they arent chapt so i dont need chap stick, but what should i do? i rate high

Use some sort of gloss, or even Vaseline just to keep them moisturized. Chapstick can work too, even if your lips aren't chapped. I have the same problem, and putting a little Vaseline on them works very well. Hope I helped. ♥ Kristen

i think i failed a test... what should i do??? it was a spanish test and im like one of the best spanish students in my class. what should i do???

Well, so far, you're not sure you failed it. So wait until you get the results back. If you didn't do very well, maybe you could talk to your teacher to see if there's extra credit or something you can do. But don't worry so much about it now, you're not sure of the results.

I want to put my advice column in my AIM profile but I just don't want to see a regular link. does anyone know of anyway i could make the link into a word like advice or something??

When you go to put the link in your AIM profile, put the URL where it says Hyperlink URL, and right below it, it says Hyperlink Text. You can put whatever you want it to say in there. You could say advice, ask me, my advice column, click here, or something along those. ♥ Kristen

im really confused. i like 2 guys who are both my friends except they have totally different personalities. one is geeky but hes really really sweet and really cares about me. and the other one is really good looking and idk if he cares about me. and even though i know i should probably go for the geeky one, i can never get over the great looking one. any ideas??

I completely understand where you're coming from... Wouldn't you rather have someone who really cares about you? Even if the other guy is good looking, it's what's inside that really counts. The "geeky" one has feelings for you that you seem pretty sure about, and I'm sure he's cute in his own way. You just have to put the other guy out of your mind a little, and just remain friends. If you want to have a lasting relationship, it is most likely going to be with someone who cares about you more. Think about what is best for you. Good luck! ♥ Kristen

i want to act as a career but everyone doupts me my confidence is low what should i do

If you think you can do it, then it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. You can't let others bring you down. There will always be people who think you can't do something, but you have to prove them wrong. Good luck! ♥ Kristen

This fight all started on this site called "Kiwibox"...

Okay this fight has been going on for days and I don't know how to end it. See she started this," Hoebags Club" with a couple of other friends of mine and I felt left out and it turns out that she started this club after I responded with a JOKE in another friends journal and I didn't say "j/k"

Well I ranted about it in my Random journal and Things got out of hand and now 2 of the "Hoebags" are calling me a "2 year old" and " A Bitch" and I don't know how to stop the fight. I appologized and everything.

You have to really talk to these people. Tell them you're sorry about everything that happened. It was just a joke, and you didn't mean for it to be taken offensively. If they do't accept the apology, then just wait for it to blow over. If it never blows over, are those friends you want to have? Real friends shouldn't hold grudges. ♥ Kristen

I need a dress for my 8th grade graduation, but I have NO idea where to look. Its supposed to look nice, but not too dressy. I'm really really picky though. Any ideas where I can get a pretty cheap dress for it? Thanks!

Macy's, Charlotte Russe, JC Penney's, Kohls, TJMaxx, Marshall's. Look at almost every clothing store in the mall, you're bound to find something you like.

i went to the beach last weekend and got VERY sunburned. my right leg and foot are swollen and hurt very badly, and i have to drive for 2 hours tomorrow. Any way to take down the swelling from my burn on saturday, or to help the burn heal faster? (i've already used aloe multiple times) thanks!

Lots of ice! Put your aloe in the fridge for a while before you put it on, it feels a lot better. You can also try a Vitamin E cream, a cool bath with 1/2 cup of baking soda, or a calendula cream. Look at this site for more ideas: http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_sunb.htm
Hope I helped! ♥ Kristen

Hi ive been finding it really hard to sleep for the last few days, can anyone give me some advice on how i might be able to get a few hours at least of sleep thank you..
ill rate hight for good answers

Don't watch TV for at least an hour before you go to bed. Watching it will keep you up with all the sounds and colors. Drink warm milk, and listening to soothing music very low. ♥ Kristen

OK heres the dealio
i HATE showers...they just seem like a waste of time for me. Does anyone know any ways that will make showering fun?? no sarcastic answers please. Thanks

Try getting a shower radio and tuning it to your favorite radio station. Then you can dance and sing in the shower! You could also get a really nice smelling soap or shower gel and a pouf or something along those lines. Maybe just walk around the bath aisle of a store and look to find stuff that might entertain you. ♥ Kristen

Today I was standing in a grassy area when my friend ran at me and knocked me over. I hit the back of my head very hard on the ground and my whole head started aching. I had to lie on the ground for about ten minutes because I couldn't get up. My friend walked me home to make sure I was okay and I felt better. Now I have started to feel sick, my head hurts a lot and I feel very weak and tired. I have had concussion before but my vision was distorted and I actually threw up that time. Is this just normal because I knocked my head or have I got concussion or something?

Go to the doctor! You never know what it could be, so you definintely need to get it checked out.

Theres a girl at my school (not my friend but i talk to her) and her boyfriend recently broke up with her. She's heart broken and feels that she isn't good enough. Now she wont eat..shes refusing to eat and its scaring everyone. She is dropping pounds by the second and is always depressed. I really want to help her, but I don't know her family personally enough to tell them. Should I let her suffer? i would feel wrong not telling anyone.

Do not, under any circumstances, let her suffer! Someone needs to be told. She could get seriously hurt herself by what she's doing. Tell a teacher at school, a guidance counselor, or an adult you know can do something. Even if you don't know her family personally, her parents need to be notified. Best wishes. ♥ Kristen

I went out with this guy on April 20th, 2003 and we went out for about 9 months. He stopped talking to me all of a sudden, had his friends lie to me and tell me he was in jail..and all this other crap. I soon figure out he had 3 other girlfriends ! Anyway, it look a long time but I got over him. It's been over a year and when I think about him, I dont cry or anything. But latley I've been kinda depressed because pretty soon its going to be April 20th and I think about the good times and just....how do I forget about this guy? I dont want to be 30 and still remembering April 20th as the day I met him! I want to forget him!

15/f/I rate

I kind of had the same problem a few months ago. You have to remember you deserve so much better than what you had. You deserve a guy who cares about you, and only you. Basically, remeber there are so many other guys out there, and you can't get hung up on this one person. Good luck! ♥ Kristen

My mom and I had an argument over braces the last week and she got really mad. I'm going to get them anyway and she won't talk to me. It's been almost a week and she always ignores me..and doesn't tell me wen it's time to eat or anything.. PLEASE don't tell me to sit her down and have a talk..we don't have that kind of relationship..and I can't wait it out! Please don't critisize..I rate!

Maybe write her a letter to tell her how you feel. Set up a meeting for the two of you because you do need to talk. Maybe you really need to hear her reasoning on why she's mad. If you need anything else, just IM me or send me something. ♥ Kristen

Ive seen a lot of girls wear cute sweatpants that say PINK on the butt. What brand is it? Where can I get them and how much are they? Thanks for your help!

You can find them at Victoria's Secret. They probably cost from $20 to $30 (closer to $30 though).

i am VERY short, so whenever i buy jeans, i cut them to fit my length (instead of hemming them), cause i dont care about the little freys at the bottom. But yesterday i bought corduroy pants that are of course too long, if i cut them, would that ruin them?

You should probably hem them instead. Corduroy is different than denim, and you never know what's going to happen.

Hey There!

I don't exactly pluck my eyebrows at all, but they aren't "bushy". Is there any tips to help me shape my eyebrows? Where do I pluck, and where do I not. I don't want my eyebrows to get too crazy, you know?

You can get them waxed once just to see the shape you should have.
When you pluck, do it when your pores are open, as in after taking a shower (it'll hurt less). Comb them into place and just pluck the stray hairs, the hairs out of the line of the natural brow shape. Focus on just the obvious hairs. Be very careful, don't pluck hairs on the top, and be very careful not to overpluck. Good luck! If you need anything else, just send me something. ♥ Kristen

my hair is slightyly thin but slighty thick..personaly i want it thick but i've heard that its horrible thick(not my hair..theirs)should i want thick hair..and if so then what can i do to make it thicker?(no styling or layers though it fries my hair)

You can give it more volume, but you can't really make it thicker. You could look around a beauty supply shop for something for your hair type, or try a volumizing shampoo. ♥ Kristen
