My name is Kristen, and I'm seventeen years old.

Hey, I'm 13/F and I just got my period in January. I had it for 6 days. I haven't gotten it since!! It's the end of March now which means I skipped two months?? I know I'm not pregnant (I have no idea how to spell it)
Is something wrong with me???

It's completely normal. Your cycle is going to be irregular for a while.

Kind of a dumb question but...

How do you make pancakes with a mix? Like what do you add? I lost the box and I can't remember...

Also, where can I find info about the history of pancakes? I've already googled it and asked jeeves but i can't find anything. (It's for a project)

Tres merci!

You should probably just google the brand to find directions. What kind are they?? You never know, I might have the box here at home and I could send them to you.. Anyway, try
http://www.foodsiteoftheday.com/pancakef.htm for pancake history.

You've realized you have a problem, and that's the first step. You need to tell someone, like a parent, a friend, or a guidance counselor. Ask your mom if you can go see a therapist because there's something you need to get off your chest. Feel free to IM me or send me something, I'm here to talk if you need me. ♥ Kristen

Hello,

When I am sitting in class, doing my work, and i become slightly bored, i partake in a slightly disgusting habit.


I bite a sliver of a nail off of a finger, keep it in my mouth, then use my tongue to position it so i could slide it out the front end between my two front teeth. I continue doing this at least 4 to 6 times, then swallow the nail.


I am interested in stopping this habit for myself, because I don't think anyone notices it.

Keep your nails trimmed enough that you won't have much of anything to bite. If you're a girl, you can paint them really nicely so you won't want to bite them; you'll ruin your nails. Or, there is a nail polish type thing that tastes really bad. Good luck. ♥ Kristen

You should probably go see a doctor. They'll be able to help you. ♥ Kristen

I am 14, female int he 9th grade. I'm also usually a straight A student. My sister graduated 2nd in her class. She recieved an full scholorship to the college she attends. My brother was expelled in 11th grade. My parents had stressed how important grades were, I agreed to an extent. Working my butt off to earn straight A' and a high GPA. This Marking Period. I am in Algebra 2(normally a 11th grade class) and French 1. I was doing okay in Algebra untill I failed a quiz and recieved a 80% on a unit test. This brings my grade to 88.5%, the MP ends in 3 days. no way i can bring that up. in french, i got a 70% on the Unit test. I failed most the tests in their. But my grades were usually up. Now I face the problem of having 2B's (a possible C) on my usually perfect report card. I told my mother this afternoon and she shook her head and simply said "Shit *insert name*". She then turned and walked away.
I WORK MY BUTT OF IN SCHOOL. I'm taking all Honors and the most difficult classes. I can't be perfect like my sister, I can't always get straight A's. How do I tell my parents this respectfully. ??I'm sorry It's such a long question.:-/ Help

Sit them down to have a serious conversation. Tell them what you told us: You can't be perfect like your sister. Honors classes are hard! You're in 9th grade, taking an 11th grade class. Most 9th graders in your school probably aren't doing that. You have to explain that you are doing the best you can, and that you are an individual, and you don't want to be judged based on your sister. Just keep calm, don't raise your voice, and make your point. Good luck! Send me something if you need anything else. ♥ Kristen

I have no clue wat im gonna do for my 13th birthday partay! please give me ideas!
Thanks!

I had a Hawaiian themed party, with leis and all that good stuff. You could have a sleepover, pool party (if you can get to an indoor pool), go to the mall and the movies, or wait until it's warmer and have an outside party/picnic type thing. Have fun! If you need anything else, just send me something. ♥ Kristen

im so sick of not having a bf. im 13, 5'1" 128 lbs. blonde perfect teeth, no braces. anything a guy would want! the thing is i have NEVER had a bf. my frend has and she is really really unattractive. she has hideous crooked yellow teeth and puffy frizzy hair. i dont mean to be mean but i really hate the fact that an ugly grl has had 7 bfs and i had none. please please help!

Looks aren't everything. Personality and what you have in common with someone matters too. And who are you to say your friend is "really really unattractive" and ugly? Don't be so conceited, and try to actually find something in common with a guy. Getting a boyfriend will happen in time, just be patient.

ok i asked about the games for my party earlier..and if they were too babyish..most of you said no, so thats a good sign. My next question is how many games per hour should i have? i dont want to overwhelm everyone with games..should it be once every half hour? every hour? thanks you guys

I would say no more than two every hour. But it depends on the length of the game.. if it's a really long game, then few people will want to play another one right after it. Play it by ear though.. see how guests are responding to the games and kind of arrange the games according to that. Hope I helped. ♥ Kristen

My mom doesn't want me to get braces because she thinks my teeth are fine. But I think I do need them because there are like 3 teeth that aren't straight. Well we had a huge argument over this and now she's mad at me. But anyhow, I got my seperators today and they are really annoying. Do they hurt the day after? And when I get my braces will they hurt? Also, what should I do about my mom-situation?? She's not talking to me and she's very pissed that I am getting braces.

I've never had braces, but I have friends who have. Separators will hurt for a little while, but I think the pain will go away eventually. The same with your braces.. once you get used to them, they won't hurt as much. As for your mother, if your orthodontist or dentist says you need them, then you need them. Maybe she should talk to the doctor, and he/she can explain exactly why this will be beneficial later on. Good luck! ♥ Kristen

I hate my column colors, their getting old. Anyone have any cute colors that go good together? Other than Pink/black. Right now its pink/black/baby blue and I want something different. I rate 5's if you try! =)

lime green background, pink font
white background, purple font
light blue background, dark blue font
black background, red font

You can always go to the site they give you on the column settings page( http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/reference/color_codes/ ) and just experiment. Good luck! Send me something if you need more help. ♥ Kristen

Okay I used to have really bad acne on my face and my back. (I know it's gross but I did.) Well now I don't really have any pimples or anything, I have like little red bumps, I think they are scars from pimples I had before. Does anyone know how to get rid of these, and if so, how??

Try Mederma, which is a cream that helps reduce the appearance of scars. Just a warning, it can be on the expensive side. Or, try seeing a dermatologist. Hope I helped. Send me something if you need anything else. ♥ Kristen

is there a way to delete a aim screen name because i have so many that i cant make any new ones

You can't permanently delete them. If you want to delete it just so you won't see it when you sign in, highlight it and press the Delete button. You'll have to get a new email address if you want to make a new screen name. Hope I helped. If you need anything else, just send me something. ♥ Kristen

my step-dad made me download mozilla firefox because it is supposed to be better than microsoft internet explorer.. so my question is.. is it really better? and i also am having a problem seeing my mail on optium online

My brother uses Mozilla Firefox, so I asked him. It has less pop-ups, so it's harder to get spyware. You don't have to have multiple windows up, you can tab them and have all of them in one window. If there's anything else you need to know, just send me something. ♥ Kristen

Does anyone know where I can get some good quality (preferably with an underwire), but inexpensive bras? (like under $20)

Kohls, Wal-Mart, Marshalls, TJ Maxx.. Hope I helped. ♥ Kristen

my boyfriend has REALLY bad breath. hes such a clean guy but he like breathes with his mouth open and its digusting. even when he chews gum i still smell it. and when were cuddling i just about die. and when he wants to kiss me it smells like dog poo and makes me smell..i cant tell him that will be totally mean...what can i do?

Just tell him. He most likely doesn't realize he has a problem, and I'm sure he'd rather hear it from someone close to him than from someone else.

besides babysitting, what are other little ways of making money at age 14, and also besides getting a real job (bc my mom won't let me)

There's not much.. You can clean and do chores around the house, clean your neighbors' houses, rake leaves/shovel snow, garden, mow lawns. Good luck! ♥ Kristen

Theres this girl who is my ex best friend. I HATE her now. She does anything and everything to piss me off. I can not stand this girl!! I mean she will ruin me, I want to basically like ruin this girls life because of all the things shes put me through. What do I do to make her know that she better keep away from me and not to push me too far?!?

Completely ignore her! She wants attention, and for you to flip out. All you're doing by responding to her is giving her the attention that she wants. By ignoring her, she'll just feel stupid by bothering you and getting no response. ♥ Kristen
