about

My name is Melissa. I'm a sophomore, and finally SWEET 16. So, I'll be driving on January 7th. I usually go by May or Mel. In the picture is myself and my AMAZING boyfriend Kyle. He's truly my entire world & I'm not sure how I got lucky enough to get someone like him. I don't like girls. They're fake, and I just in general dislike most girls. Little known fact? There are times I hate my best friend, I mean, hate hate. She drives me insane. When I'm close friends with a girl it's a big deal. As far as best friends go; I have Kyle, who's the most amazing boyfriend in the world; Jennifer Anne Reese aka: PIECUP.. she's one of the few girls I'm close to. I'm generally a nice person, if I like you. If I don't, you'll know it.

In college I want to major in psychology; with a minor in wedding planning or some type of organizational planning type thing. I'm a planning freak. I ALWAYS have a plan, and if you don't plan stuff ahead of time, I'll probably kill you. I tend to change my plan spur of the moment a lot, but I always have one. Lol, one of those weird things about me.


I'm not that much of a "laid back" person. In general, I have my opinion, and I'm going to win. Drama = stupid. But just like every other girl on the planet, I definitely start my share of the drama. I don't like it, but it follows me like a puppy, so I'll just admit I start stuff.

I like giving advice. I've been through a lot, and I want to help people in any way I can. If you'd rather email or IM me, feel free to ask. ♥

I am leaving for college soon, and I am very nervous about leaving my old high school friend. I am excited about going to college and everthing, but I love my friends to death. Should I just call as often as I need to talk to them, or wait until I get home to just see them so I don't annoy them? Thanks for the advice!

Awww, that's so sweet that you actually care! I think you should call them as much as you need to talk to them, chances are they're going to miss you too but won't want to "interrupt" anything you're doing. So call them [= If they get annoyed, they'll more than likely tell you. Good luck & have fun at college!

whats the best coverup.. like the coverup to cover your pimples..?

I suggest Mary Kay if you can afford it. If not, I suggest Mabeline. [Mineral, or True Blend.] Get both powder and liquid, that makes it more even.

Each person is different so you may have it for more or less days anyway. Periods are irregular for the first few years, so your first time is going to be VERY irregular since you've never had it before.

im gonna have a presentation in front of class.. im kinda shy and i was wondering what i can do to overcume my shyness and not be so afraid

Remember to practice a lot, because if you do enough then it should mostly be memorized, and you'll be able to do it without thinking about what you're saying. Try practicing in front of your family or some friends, then you shouldn't be as nervous.

im going into the highschool next year and i heard that you have to carry like a little backpack around school.. i have a normal sized backpack like what you would wear to the middle school.. is that too big? what should i doo? like should i get one backpack to cary around school and the other for home? PLEASE HELP!

I'm pretty sure that's just people trying to freak you out. Unless there's some special rule at your school, they don't care what size of backpack you have. Just ask at orientation, or call the offices to ask.

Me and my boyfriend have been going out for almost three months. He lives a town away from me, but we still barely ever see each other, and for some reason he barely calls anymore. What do i do to make myself feel better about the relationship?

You need to talk to him. It LOOKS like he doesn't really want to be in the relationship anymore, and if he can't tell you that then you need to find someone better.

Hi guys.
Sorry if this is really long...i rate high.
Alrighty.
Well i have a boyfriend and i love him to death. We've been together for over 3 months and ever since ive knwn him he never EVER talks about his problems.
If i know somehtings wrong he'll say things like.."Its not important" or "Its nothing" when i can seeeee that its bothering him a lot. I want him to know that he doesnt need to act all tough around me. And i need him to know that he can talk to me about anything. I just dont know what to say to him.
Ive tried the usual..."you know im always here for you" and all that and he says he knows but it doesnt change anything.
Do you guys have anything i could say or do that would get him to know that im always there...and ready to listen?
Any advice is great advice!!
Thanks...
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Keep trying to talk to him. I would agree with others when they're saying that he's just trying to get your attention or make you feel sorry for him. Talk to him, and if you can't get anything out of him, there's PROBABLY nothing there.

i just got a new lap top, and i want to have internet connection in my room, so i plugged it in to the phone jack. it didnt work, am i doing something wrong? i saw some thing called an ethernet cable, does that have ne thing to do with it?

You have to plug it in [like you did] and INSTALL THE MODEM onto your computer. There's a setup wizard on the control pannel.

Ok, I am about to get a haircut, but I need to make a decision on what kind of hair cut. I have an oval shaped face and my skin is tannish olive, and my hair a little bit below my chest by my boobs, and it is golden blonde. I realy need to find a nice haircute, please not shorter then the shoulders, and I would appreciate pictures of the haircut. :D

Try something like Ashlee Simpson's layers with sideswept bangs. That would be REALLY cute!! Go to this picture [http://wizbangblog.com/images/ashlee_simpson04_c.jpg], it's what I'm suggesting but make your bangs more divided, so they look side swept.

I will be freshman this year. And I'm so scared and nervous. My curent friends are like family, but I can't really be myserlf around them. They are too much into guys. But I've been through alot with them in middle school. And I don't really have any other close friends. So what should I do? Should I find new friends, or stick with the ones I got?

Stick with the ones you've got, because old friends are always great to have, but find some new ones too! And don't start out your freshman year acting like someone you're not. Just be yourself, and you will make SO many new friends. HS is a great place to do that, and of course to build stronger bonds with your old friends. Good luck in HS though, it goes wayyy faster than you'd think.

I have no freedom. I am never allowed to go over to friends houses, unless I've known that friend for a really long time and my mom knows their parents real good. They never let me go to birthday parties and they refuse to let me even go near a water park even in the day time because they are soooo "dangerous." I have to read an hour a day too. Please don't tell me to talk to them calmly about it. I already tried, but my mom is so mean and hurtful. What can I do?

No offense toward your mom, but that is RIDICULOUS! It's not your fault that you met your friends when you did. Unless they have some reason not to trust you, or your friends, then they need to chill. Make some kind of deal about checking in or something, if that doesn't work, have another adult talk to them. Until you're 18 [or 16 with a driver's license; a license they CAN take away] you can't do too much.

Hello im 13 and I got this HUGE crush on my step-dads friends son who came to TX for vacation. Hes 16 but were only 3 years apart when you think about it. It seems really far away now. Anyways he stayed over for a week and a half. We were hanging out watching TV, fishing, playing with the dogs thats stuff. And he just went back up to Cali. I fell in love with him and I cannot get him off my mind. I dream about him, think about him like a million times a day, ask my step-dad constantly when he'll visit again. Im in MAD love and I have no clue what to do.
How do I get him off my mind?

-Jessica

Find another guy, or if you're really close to him, tell him how you feel and see what he says. Chances are even if he likes you he PROBABLY won't commit to anything because it would be too long distance. =[ Sorry I don't have any better advice!

Hey hey hey... thanks ahead of time. I will rate and leave feedback if it's wanted, but anyways- i dyed my hair about two weeks ago and I absolutely HATE the color of it. I thought that I heard of something called Stripping... which is where you get your hair color stripped and it will go back to your natural color. Is this something real and is it bad for your hair, how much does it cost? Thanks

Yes, you can get your hair stripped. I would suggest you don't do it though. Just layout a lot, and it will naturally fade by laying out and washing it. That's a lot cheaper, and it doesn't damage your hair as much. Just wait about a month before using anymore dye on your hair! [=

a few months ago i gave this one guy head. and my throat felt weird for about a week and a half after. (by the way, it was my 1st time. in case that makes a difference.)

but i know that your throat hurting is a sign of gonorrhea... and i also know that gonorrhea causes arthritis... or leads to it. or whatever.
and my knuckles are starting to hurt.

but the thing is, i'm starting to think this is all in my head...
i know this doesn't make much sense... but if you have any advice, please tell me.

If you're concerned, go to a doctor. There's really no way to tell for SURE, unless you see a professional.

For those girls who go to the tanning bed, do you recommend any good face accelarators? (Lotion products that can make your face tan faster.) And if so, what's the normal price range on it? Thank you.

I personally would suggest two different types depending on what "level" of tanning you are.

For beginning level tanners:
-Hawaiian Dark Tanning Lotion [or Oil]
[It can be bought at most tanning salons, and places like Wal-Mart, Target, etc.]
For intermediate tanners:
-Australian Gold Tanning Lotion
[It's orange with a koala on it. You have to buy it at tanning salons that carry it, or online through tanning product sites.]
For advanced tanners:
-Warp 10 Tanning Lotion
[It's EXTREMELY strong and WILL make you look VERY red for about 20 minutes after you use it. I suggest you shower IMMEDIATELY after using it. It can be bought online only, and at a few VERY select tanning salons.]

I personally use the first two at the pool, and Warp 10 ONLY in the tanning bed. It's a little more expensive, and not worth using if you're going to jump in a pool. But it's DEFINITELY the best I've used thus far. [I have a tanning bed at my house, so I've tested a lot of products. Lol.]

Hey, im on a diet, but i have no idea what foods to eat.
I kno veggies and fruits and no white bread.
But like for actual meals, what should I eat?

I have to make a grocery list for my mom so it would really help to have this info asap. Thanks will rate high.

-Less sugar.
-No [or VERY little] soda.
-Lots of WATER. [Flavored water counts too!]

Definitely suggest that you eat normally, then do lots of cardio! There's nothing wrong with eating regularly as long as you balance eating and excersising. Just tell her not to get soda, or anything that would "tempt" you. Good luck!
