about

My name is alix. I'm fourteen &i live just moved to massachusets. i love all of my closer friends; theyre my life. i like cats, and my favorite food is soanish rice. i like going to the movies with all my friends; we do it every friday. it's a routine. i love giving advice about guys, but what i really love are questions from guys about girls. im really opinionated, but im usually not very harsh when i answer things.

advice

I'm not sure if this is the right category but...

Today we were playing soccer in gym and I was the goalie [and I'm the least athletic girl you'll ever find] and we weren't using regular soccer balls since the last one got kicked up onto the rooft -- dont ask-- and so we were using one of those hard, rubber dodge balls filled with air and this girl that just happened to be very athletic kicked it and I tried to block it with my hand (didn't work by the way) and the ball bent my wrist way back and I had ice on it for the whole day in school.

It's a little swollen and I can't move my wrist without it hurting [I couldn't pick my violin up, write, tie my hair, hold onto stuff, etc--I can move it a little but it hurts like crap]

Is it sprained or something? And what should I do? [don't say put ice on...it's kinda obvious]

Thanks very much!!!!!

You should see a doctor. From the way you described it, it sounds like it's broken. My wrist was just broken, and i couldn't do anything. Go to a doctor!

well i need some tips of fashion for this year of school plz i need help

you can get a lot from abercrombie and hollister. you could buy anything there w/o worrying about it looking fashionable. if you don't want that kind of look, but something thats more unique, delia's is great. what's really in is an alternative look: plastic jewelery, leggings, big sweaters, etc.


and just so you know, skinny jeans are on the way out. for someone who's really serious about fashion, theyre completely out. i guess you could still wear them, but...
and you have to be very careful shopping at department stores. you can get a lot of really tacky clothes there.


you should stay away from old navy and the gap. sometimes you can find cute things there, but if youre not sure whats in and whats out, id just stay away.

what's a good makeup for asian eyes.... without making them look even smaller.

thanks in advance!

bronze or some other shade of brown eyeshadow, just on the lids, so you can only see it when you blink. &maybe just a tiny bit peeking out.

and a little black eyeliner in the corners looks really cute too. if you have really dark eyes, then the black eyeliner brings them out.

i'm going to be 17 in a little over a month. i weigh about 170lbs and i'm around 5'3 or 5'4. i know i'm overweight, but i was curious--what do you think is a healthy weight for someone as short as i am? do you have any tips on how i can lose that weight?

Your BMI is 29. 25 through 29 is overweight. A girl your height would be at a healthy weight if they were anywhere between 110 and 140 lbs. but so you know, on the bmi chart, overweight is not the worst... bmis go up to 54, so you really could be doing a lot worse. youre probably just a llittle chubby.

as for losing some weight, excersise. i know it sounds obvious, and its also not something that anyone realllly wants to do. do you have a treadmill? your parents might get one if you would really use it. just half an hour, an hour on it a day would make a difference. mines in front of the tv, so its not bad at all running. and also, cut some snacking out of your diet. i did it, and i thought it would be really hard. but honestly, it wasnt. i dont have dessert anymore, but i dont even miss it. i felt guilty everytime i overindulged on it, and now i feel good that im not eating it. also, think of some healthy things that you really like, and stock up. i love chewy bars and red apples, and i asked my parents to get more of those. now, everytime im hungry, i eat one of those. not like i dont ever have candy or anything, i do. but i just really think about whether or not i want it before i eat it.

everything i said above sounds like it would be a pain, and kind of hard, but its a lot easier than it sounds once you get into it.

that is my picture. i asked a question yesterday about my hair. now i need to know about makeup. what would be some good makeup tips for me?

honestly, youre gorgeous. you dont need makeup at all. butttt everyone loves makeup, so here:
a very pink blush would look great with your complexion.
a little bit of black eyeliner. wear it on your lower eyelid, and only on the outside half of your eye. that would really bring out your eyes.
a bubblegum pink lip gloss would look really cute on you, too.

does anyone know which abercrombie perfume they spray on the clothes in the store? i know they have like 4 or so different perfumes but im not sure which one it is.

it changes a lot, but most often, its 8 for the girls and fierce for the guys.

i really want a tattoo for my 15th birthday! i want a small heart, maybe like an inch in size (just outlined). i want it on the front of my hip, just below the jean line (if your wearing ultra low-rise jeans). but im afraid what my friends will think of me. i dont want to sound snobby but i am popular in my school and go with the whole "classic girly girl from hollister/abercrombie". i dont want this tattoo if it makes me look trashy, especially at my age. what do you think? thank you for your opinion! =)

I think its fine. in fact, thats exactly the tatoo i want, except filled in in red or royal purple. i think that, as long as you don't flaunt it toooo much, it would be good. in fact, a lot of people would think it was pretty cool

Im a 14:f and i haven't had a bf before. i wanna go out with someone but i don't know how to get a guy to notice and like me. What do you suggest?

sorry i took so long to answer...

so there are a few things to consider:
1. so do you have any guy friends? I'm not saying that you should go out with one, but it would help you become more comfortable around guys. And if you already are comfortable, it would really let guys know that you're cool. And you could flirt with some(but not the ones that it would be weird to flirt with). If you just want a boyfriend for the sake of having one, then maybe one of your guy friends would ask you. But make sure that you don't throw yourself at them... that would be a turn off.

2. if there's a certain guy you have your eye on, then flirt with him. if youre not already friends, talk to him. he'll appreciate it. if he seems like he doesnt want to talk to you, then stop, but otherwise, go for it!

3. dress well! i'm not saying that you should dress like a slut; please dont. thats the worst. a good thing to do is show a little skin in one area. if you're wearing a short skirt, then wear a less revealing top. if you have an off the shouler top, then make sure that it's not also going to reveal your belly.

4. walk with confidence. hold your chin up, don't slouch. it really makes a difference. even if you're feeling really self concious, no one will be able to tell. think, "i own it," and you'll walk like you do.

5. remember: DON'T THROW YOURSELF AT GUYS! it's suchhh a turn off. guys don't want a girl that any other guy could get. they want to feel like they accomplished something by scoring you.

good luck! hope you get one soon.

I am 14;f and my boyfriend is 16;m. We are doing great, and I am in love with him. He has alot of other friends that are girls and same with me & guys. Recently one of his older "girl friends" asked him to go to prom with her. I trust him 100%, it's just I don't know her, and I don't trust the other people at the highschool.

I don't want answers like, "just talk to him about it" because I don't want to seem like the green eye'd monster. I just want to know, is it bad to be jealous of him going to prom without me? Any answers are greatly appreciated.

It's not that bad, as long as you dont let the jealousy consume you. And I know you said that you didn't want to talk to him, and that makes a lot of sense. But maybe bringing it up would be a good idea, i don't really know exactly what the situation is. You could even talk about it online, just to make sure that it's not just a misunderstanding.
just be like,
-so youre giong to prom with chelsea?
-i guess, she asked me
-oh, okay...
-why?
-i don't really know,... i was just wondering.



but honestly, i don't know enough about the situation, so the scenario above could really not work.


bottom line, it's fine to be a little jealous.
don't worry about it.

Hi,what determines the sex of the baby? Is it anything about the parents or how old/young the parents are?
Thanks

it's completely 50/50. it doesnt matter about the parents.

does anyone know how to make those cool ipod ads out of your own pictures? like is there an easier way than taking the time to black out your whole picture and how do you make the ipod??

unless you use some really intense software, there's not an easier way.

and making the ipod:
you can (a) just draw it in &fake it, or (b) black out a picture that already has an ipod and not black the ipod.

and if you get the software, then it will probably be pretty expensive.



but blacking it out usually turns out well.
it's worth the time:

ok well my best friend thinks she's fat but she isnt she's about 5'6" and weighs about 110 pounds and all she has been eating for the past week is celery becuase you burm more caleries than you gain! Is this a problem!?!?!
and if soo what should i do cuz im really scared?!?!

It's a really big problem.
My best friend had the same problem, and it got really serious. You need to really let her know that you care for her, and that she looks fabulous no matter how much she weighs. Every single time she brings up eating, or "how fat she is," tell her that she's not.


also, these facts really helped my friend...

when you don't eat a lot, then your metabolism slows down and you actually end up gaining more weight than you would eating a good amount.

when you're under stress to lose weight, your body makes sure that you gain it. Stress causes weight gain.

hey, well my eighth grade graduation is coming up in may. im 13/f and i need a dress for it. does anyone know where to get sexy/flirty dresses for grad?

Macy's has really great ones. That's where I got mine. Unfortunately, it can be hard to sift through all of them. They also have a lot of tacky dresses. But when I went, I had such a hard time choosing between several absolutely gorgeous dresses. It's a really good place for dresses.


And for hair, I think you should straighten it or blow it out, and maybe wear a cute head scarf or a ribbon. They look so cute in the spring!

how do you get rid or prevent back nee? I got some on my shoulders too..

Use body acne scrub. I'd recommend Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Daily Scrub and Foam Cleanser.

how do you hide your freinds on myspace?is it possible to show the number of freinds you have on your profile but hide your freinds from visitors to your profile?

Use that code

and also, if you really wanted to show how many friends you have, then you could write up a quick link or something... but you'd have to update it everytime you got a new friend. it would look like this:

Alix has 283 friends.

&you could put that at the bottom of your "Who I'd Like to Meet."


or, you could make it so it said,
See my friends.





--I just realized that when this posts, theres a semicolon added to the end of each code. take it out.

how would you describe a good person (in detail) because i really want to become one, but don't know where to start ?!

Everything the person said below me is great, but there's one thing I really want to stress:
Gossiping and bullying. Don't do it, no matter what. I know it seems like a given, but it's really important. I know someone who was picked on a lot and finally commited suicide. You'd think that one remark wouldn't hurt, but really, it could just be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

I have to perform a dramatic monolouge. I have never done it before although I'm ready to take on the challenge. Please give me tips to stay calm. I sing at my church, so I am use to a big crowd. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

I just had the same problem, but someone i know gave me great advice.
1. focus just pass the people who are watching you... the wall, or if its just a few people, the chairs behind them. it will look like youre looking at them, but you wont have to.
2. BREATHE! Deep breathing really helps.
3. Think about how much you want to nail it. Get yourself excited to do it, and you won't panic.
4. Show off. Think, "I can do this, and I can do it best. I'll show them how great I am."

Ok so i should go for the new guy i totaly agree with you now cause one of my friends pointed out to me today that if i like this new guy and go for it and he likes me too and we start going out then matt might get jealous or something and get up the courage to talk to me cause i'd be considered kinda crazy like weird i guess you would say and he is like kinda popular so i mean yeha and i'm never mean to him ever and i'm pretty sure i seem approachable like he can talk to me and i wont be mean to him so yeah i dont know i guess i will just go for the new guy but since he is bi do you think that he might not like me cause he prolly like alot of other guys and girls

Being bi doesnt mean that you like more people. You make it sound like he'd like twice as many people as a straight person. I don't think thats right. Go for him. He's into you, and you're into him... and the other one doesn't seem like he likes you that way. The new guy sounds perfect.

i flat iron my hair.

what are some good things to put on it before to make it not damage?

Try either Redken Satinwear or John Freida Brilliant Brunette Simply Sleek Straightening Balm. Both work wonders. I'd recommend the John Freida first.
