I'm not very booksmart, and I'm definately not street smart. However, if there's one thing I am, it's PEOPLE SMART. That's why I'm good with this whole advice thing. You can ask me ANYTHING and I'm always glad to help. There's almost no question I can't handle, so ask away. Make sure you RATE and leave FEEDBACK, so I can improve my advice.infinate x's and o's,

Okay, My sister Amanda gets really mean....and won't let me shop at "Abercombie" "Hollister" "Pac Sun" or "Zummies",and the only reson is because she shops at hot topic!!
also she won't let me listen to what music i like,
WHAT SHOULD I DO????????????
love,
sophie skilling
Don't let her control you. Talk to your sister and tell her you want to be your own person. Tell her your individuality means a lot to you, like it must mean a lot to her. Ask her how she would like it if she was banned from shopping at hot topic and what she liked to do. Put her in your place. Hope this helps.

hey my mom bought me this shirt b/c one time i said it was cute. i didn't want it or anything though. i'm never going to wear it so..how do i tell her i don't want it. it was a present on my birthday and she was like so happy with it. plz answer i need to know soon.
Things like this are tough. It's happened to me a bunch of times. Honesty can hurt, even though it is the best policy. You can get around it though. That's what white lies are for. There's no harm in making your mom feel good, so just say you like it. Wear it around the house, or at a family type thing, that way you won't have to wear it in public and be embaressed. You make your mom happy and your fashion status doesn't go down the drain. It's a win/win situation. Hope this helps.

this kid keeps horrasing me about somthing he shouldnt be because its nothing funny at all.i actually have an awsome sence of humor.but this isnt funny.he wasnt supposed to find out and its making me mad cuz like we were cool and all but like in phys. ed he will like pull my hair (not mean just so i would look at him)..and like when i walk to my bus he goes "haha you were rapped"(he does this wen i pass his bus and hes looking out of the window)..and i dunno what to do!! ps im not telling any authorities or anything
and im trying to get my friend to beat him up..but im not sure he wants to..so idk
You're right, this is definately not a funny situation. Don't get someone to beat him up about it. No matter how corny and weird this may sound, violence is not the answer. If I were you, I would talk to this kid who's harrasing you. Tell him if he doesn't stop you'll get an adult involved. (even if its just a threat it'll get through to him) Good luck and I hope this helps.

Can you gain your metabolism back? I recently stopped being anorexic and I want my metabolism to be high again.
Kind of. I know you can get a higher metabolism, so I'm sure you can gain it back. For starters, start working out regularly or at least do cardio. When you work out, every week or so make the resistance a little harder (ex. - lift 5 lb weights for a week or two, then switch it up to 10 lbs). This will help your metabolism, especially if you do this with cardio (jumproping, running, swimming, dancing ect.) Hope this helps.

Ok well, my mom and dad are divored and have been i just found out ill be spending the summer with my dad, ok well thats not a big deal, but the thing is hes making me go to this place the "YMCA." while he is at work and well i dont know anyone there except my half cousin Alex, and she i know will just leave me there and go off with her friends and i will be alone. please help me i dont want to go, i was BAWLING my eyes out earlier. i want to i just, dont want to go to this YMCA because i know ill just be left alone while the only person i know will wonder off with her friends and i wont be invited. can anyone help me??
No way to get out of it? Try and find another program you can do, then suggest it to your dad. (another camp, summer school, babysitting job) Maybe he'll go for it instead of the YMCA. If he doesn't, I assure you, you'll find friends. Just be outgoing and friendly, and you'll have a group of friends in no time. Your half-cousin will then be dying to hang with you, instead of blowing you off. And hey, maybe she won't blow you off, and you and her will become close. You never know.. Just make the best of summer, and it will be fun. I hope this helps and good luck.

A guy asked me to go to the movies with him this Friday and I said yes. Well we were talking and he asked me if I was going to bring anything with me. I was thinking, "Hm...I thought this was a date?" So I told him that I wasn't planning to but I will if he brings someone. So we decided that we both were bringing someone. Then, about 10 min. later he said that he'd really like it if we went alone. So at that point I was just like, "Uh, wtf? Does this guy not know what he wants?"
Well, I've talked to him for at least an hour and half each day since Monday and now I don't think that I really like him. Like, at all. Not even as someone I'd hang out with as friends.
So my question is, do you think it's too late to cancel? Or would it be rude of me to cancel the day before? I was also thinking about saying that I want to bring a friend after all. What do you guys think?
I's sorry, but yes, it is rude to cancel. Bringing someone would be almost as bad as canceling so just go and give him a chance. I understand you don't like him, but you never know, your opinion might change. Good luck with your date and I hope this helps.

I wanna lose weight (no this question does NOT ask how!). So I told my friends and they said that the way they lose weight is to go on an "all you can drink" diet. They said it's where you can drink anything you want at any time but you absolutely cannot eat anything. The only things that you can't drink are milkshakes, coke floats, alcohol, things like slim fast, and soda (unless it's diet).
Is this unhealthy? So far today I haven't eaten anything and I've drunk diet Dr. Pepper and Gatorade.
STOP. Starving your body of nutrients is not the way to lose weight. No matter what your friends say, not eating is called anorexia. Therefore, you need to put food in your body. Substituting drinks for food doesn't count, so please eat. If you don't eat, not only will your body crave more, you binge and gain all the weight back, maybe even more. Also, you'll ruin your metabolism. I'm all for losing weight, just don't do it this way. Eat three square meals a day, filled with fruits, vegetables, and protein. Your body depends on you, take care of it. If you need some good nutrition tips and ways to eat healthier, I'm here for you. You know where to find me =]. Hope this helps.

ok for summer my goal is to lose like 7 lbs and more, but i CANNOT keep with it! i'm gonna try the pic of someone skinnier than me on the fridge but what else can i do? to remind me what my goal is?
thanks i rate high for good ones
Sticking with your goals are tough, you just got to motivate yourself. Some things you can do:
1) Stick a picture of someone you find hot (paul walker, jesse mccartney, ryan gosling) in your fridge, that way whenever you open it to get a snack you'll see their face and be motivated not to eat
2)Make a collage of all your favorite celebrities and hang it in your room. Seeing all of their skinny bodies will motivate you to become that way
3)Whenever you have the urge to snack, read a magazine. Most magazines are filled with skinny celebrities, therefore you won't want to eat while reading one.
4)Watch model shows. America's Next Top Model and 8th and Ocean are good motivators. Once you see their bodies, you won't want to snack.
Hope this helps and good luck.

About a month ago i had really bad strep thoart for the first time in my life. well today i went to the doctors because my throat was burting really bad and i have strep again.
I still have my tonsils But having strep twice i such a short time . Is it a sign that i need to have my tonsils removed?
Maybe. However, you don't have to worry. They won't take your tonsils out now. If you get strep two or three more times, they'll probably consider it though. Do your best to keep healthy (get enough sleep, eat right, exercise normally, take vitamins, ect). Also, the strep might not have fully been cured from last time, so maybe its just coming back. Just make sure you take your antibiotics, and you should be fine. I hope this helps and feel better.

I know you guys hate these school questions, so sorry.
For school, I need to know the average height of a 12 year old, a 13 year old, and a 14 year old.
I want your opinions, not what a doctor says. If anyone gives me a chart then its an automatic one. I want your opinion.
I think..
the average height of a 12 year old is around 4'9''..
the average height of a 13 year old is around 4'11''..
the average height of a 14 year old is around 5'0''..
Hope this helps and good luck with your assignment.

how can i forget a guy that i really like? because its really hard!!!
please help!
Whatever you do, try not to think about him. Whenever he crosses your mind, think of something else. It might be hard, but do your best. Also, you have to do things you like doing. When your having fun, you won't think about him. You can also get busy. For instance, join an activity, or concentrate on schoolwork. With everything going on, you won't have time to think about him. Another option is to get back in the game. (sorry about how corny this sounds) Flirt with other guys, and maybe you'll start to like one of them. That way for sure, will get that guy out of your mind. Good luck and I hope this helps.

ok so prom's coming up and im a sophomore and my boyfreind (whos a junior) is taking me. I just dont know what kind of dress to get....short or long or what?
cuz like i know long is for homecoming and short for winterfest/sadies...whatever...but i havent been to prom yet soo any help?
It basically depends on your school, and how they do prom. My best advice for you is to ask around, and see what other girls are wearing. Then you'll get an idea of what type of dress to wear. If you need help choosing a dress, you know where to find me. Hope this helps.

I just got out of a two year relationship and I have been really devastated about it. Well lately I've been hanging around my friend whose friends with a lot of guys. So I flirted with a lot of guys and I felt like one of the guys was the next guy I'd like to date. I really feel like I'm moving too fast. I keep flirting with all of these guys convincing myself that I love them at then I go home at night crying over my ex-boyfriend. I know for sure that I am not over him and that's what scares me.
I was wondering if I should be trying to hook up and date other guys in your opinions. I mean, I think in a way I do have feelings for this friend of mine, but I think another part of me is trying to escape the misery of the past boyfriend. Can anyone tell me if what I'm doing is taking things too far or give me some advice?
I'm a 15 year old female.
thank you
It's going to be hard to get over a two year relationship. For one, there was the comfort of always having someong there. But don't worry, what your feeling is totally natural. Getting out of a relationship and moving on is tough and is going to take time. But trust me on this one, you will eventually be able to move on. First though, you have to really want to move on. If you want it so badly, you will be able to. As for hooking up with these guys, go for it if you think it will help you get over your ex. However, if you are having a lot of second thoughts about it, maybe your just not ready. It's up to you. If you need anymore advice you know where to find me. I hope this helps and good luck.

I am pretty much a tomboy at my school. I have been on all varsity sports teams since my freshmen year, so basically i am one of the guys. I have long hair like a girl, i look like a girl but most of my friends are boys.
Recently, i have been talking to this guy. He is soo nice and sweet and we have been talking a lot. We walk to class together, talk about track, ect. So, long story short, i have a major crush. The thing is, he doesnt even see me in that way at all and it just crushes me.
My freinds called him (without me knowing) and asked if he likes me and he said "i geuss i never even thought of her like that" So now i have been avoiding him becuase he probably thinks i am some sorta stalker and i'm afraid that it will be awkward. Any advice?
Don't worry, he's not going to think your some kind of stalker. Don't avoid him though, just act like things are normal. Now that the question was asked, he probably has given the thought of you being his girlfriend a chance. So go for it. Drop subtle hints that you like him. Be a little extra flirty. Good luck and I hope this helps.

(17f)I have the option to move with my dad to a new house in a new town and i'm not sure what to do. I don't have any really good friends anymore. My best friend just moved away so i dont really have anyone here that i am going to miss. It would be great to meet new people and to make new friends. I'm nervous though because I would have to start at a completely different school. i won't know anyone there. What if I'm a loner the first few days and nobody worth liking doesnt like me.. (hope that doesnt sound rude)what do you think i should do??
I would go for it. You can start all over if you move, and have the chance to make new friends. Before you decide anything though, make sure you think it through, just so you know your positive with what you want to do. Hope this helps and good luck with your decision.

I eat constantly. Whenever I'm bored/tired/thinking about food, I eat. I'm not fat. I'm not skinny either I'm about 5'7 or 5'8 150 pounds. I believe that I'm gaining. I try so hard not to eat, but I end up eating in the end. I think I would be fat if it wasn't for me playing sports. I'm always worried that I'll end up being fat and slow and can't play sports but i'm always ending up eating.. how can i prevent this? Thanks in advance
I understand what you are going through. It's a pain in the ass to eat whenever your tired or bored (its called emotional eating), and its a really bad habit to get into. Its also a really hard habit to get rid of. My best advice would be to have a healthier food you go to when you get bored or tired and decide to eat. For example, instead of reaching for a bag of chips, have some carrots or grapes. (hint: try frozen grapes - just keep 'em in the freezer - they're a great substitute and they're delicious). Hope this helps and good luck.

omggg okay so my best friend has been ignoring me like the past 2 days or so. so i asked her what was wrong and she wouldnt tell me. then she randomly ims me today and says this..
--------
HERSCREENNAME: w.e im not up for aguring bc were not bestfriends any more
--------
OH MY GOD - please help mee. shes been my best friend for 5 years+ and i dont knwo what to do if i loose her. WHAT CAN I DO!
Try and find out what you did wrong. There's nothing more pathetic when people get mad at you and then don't tell you what you did wrong. Just say something like, "I know your mad at me, and I understand your not up for arguing, but can you at least tell me what I did." Don't do it online, call her or ask her in person. Show her that you really care about whats going on, and hopefully that will show her you care a lot about her and you won't lose her. Hope this helps.

Try Biore Anti-Blackhead Warming Cleanser (or something like that). It works miracles, trust me. It also feels amazing on your face because its warm. Hope this helps.

I was mothers-helpering for my neighbor. I had no clue how much she should of paid me. When she gave me the money, I felt she over paid me. One time, for just an hour, she gave me $8. Today, for just 45 min, she gave me $6! Is this too much? (Mothers helpering is when you watch the kids while one of their parents are home) The kids didnt really require that much. There are 2 of them (one 1 year old and one 4 year old.) How much should she pay me per hour?
Also... when I babysit them.. how much should she pay me?
Don't feel bad getting overpaid, afterall the money does go to you. If you really do feel uncomfortable recieving that much for mothers-helping, tell her she doesn't have to give you that much and work from there. If your babysitting though, that is definately a reasonable amount. Hope this helps.
