Theres a guy in one of my classes and i like him a lot.I see him a lot in the hallway and i wanan do something to get him to notice but i have no idea. but i dont know how to get him to notice me. any suggestions? i cant be talkative and stand out because when he there i get too nervous.. Im not Shy, its just that i am when hes there. I really want him to notice though . any advice?? thanks so much! (link)
I've said this before, and I'll say it again -- "can't" is a word that should not be in your or anyone else's vocabulary.

It's completely normal to feel this way, I've been there and I understand exactly how you feel. But the only way I've ever known to overcome it, is to talk to him more and more often, so that you can get more comfortable around him.

Try to think of little things to say to him, everyday. At least once a day (minimum) talk to him about something. Try to find things you have in common with him, that will give you both something to talk about.

After you start doing this, it will show that you have an interest in him. Then, he will notice you.

Good luck!


okay. i'm 15/ 5'4 and 163lbs. yeah. i'm overweight. and i hate it. i try to diet..but i always find myself wanting more food..and i give into it way to easy. i hate myself for being fat..and i would do ANYTHING to be skinny.. does anyone have advice on how to gain self-control? or diet pills that will kill cravings?
i'm desperate to loose weight. (link)
I think no matter what size you are, you should always love yourself! You are beautiful. With proper exercise, and a balanced diet you should be able to lose weight. It's the healthy way, which is the most important.

Diet pills are very unhealthy, and lead to diseases and bad health. Never take them.


My friend's are into druds, alcohol, smoking ,ans sex. I'm just not interested in any of that stuff at all! I think it's just wrong, but my friends say it'll make me look cool, but, i don't think it will. I think it'll make me look stupid. I'm afraid of giving in, what shoul i do? (link)
I completely understand and couldn't agree with you more. These people are not your friends, if they're pressuring you into doing bad things. Things that can cause diseases, serious illnesses, and even death.

So my advice to you, is to not be their friend anymore. By being their friend, you're putting yourself in a position to at one point, maybe actually giving in. Trust me, there are far better friends out there.


School is too much! Right now it's in the middle of the night and I'm up doing a projectfor tomorrow! I'm not gonna get any sleep! Please help me! My school work is drowning me! Does anyone have any studyskills tips?!
I desperatly need hepl! (link)
I know exactly how you feel, in fact, I'm in the same situation as you are right now. I always look to www.myjellybean.com for all of my studying skills. All you have to do is go into the Study Section, and there you'll find them.


ok i have a boyfriend how can i tell him that i love him but i cant trust myself with him im not meaning like cheating on him. just i think i might hurt him like his feeling. because of stuff thats going on at my house.please write back ASAP!
Thank you (link)
If he really likes you/loves you, then it will not matter what is going on at your house. The only thing that will matter, is you.

I think the best way, and unfortunatly, the hardest -- is to talk to him face-to-face and let him know exactly how you feel. If he really cares about you, then he'll understand.


Ok so in my english class we have to present a speech thats 2 minutes long... I know I know, its not that long..... but when it comes to presentations and speeches i get sooooooooo nervous!!!!!!!!!! ANY TIPS ON HOW TO CONQUER THIS FEAR??????? please and thank you. (link)
I recommend going to www.myjellybean.com
This site provides information on how to conquer this exact fear, in the study section.


why can't i hear music when i try to listen to music on the computer when the volumn is on and it's not on mute either? (link)
There must be something wrong with your speakers, I suggest getting new ones. But before you do that, make sure everything is hooked up right. Otherwise, they will not work, of course.


Theres a guy at my school and i like him and i sit at his table. Im usually talkative but when iget in front of him, i shut down.and it makes me look really boring. how can i get him to like me or at least notice? I mean i try to talk but ..i cannt (link)
First, "can't" is a word that should not be in your vocabulary, or anyone elses. Second, I think you're just shy and nervous around him right now, which is completely normal. It happens to all of us, even the most outgoing and talkative people. I've been there.

Try to think of little things to say, maybe, it's about a test, or something that happened that day. Find anything that's at least semi-interesting and talk to him about. Once you start doing that, you will gradually become less nervous and more comfortable around him. Good luck!


okay my cousin has an yeast infection and we cant tell anybody (mother) but do u kno how to get rid of one without going to the doctor or the store.. tahnx alot ~ xxx_xxxx ~ (link)
I'm afraid he/she will have to go to the doctor, to take care of it. There's no other way of treating it. I know it's easier said than done, but which would you rather deal with... a bad yeast infection that will continue to get worse, if not treated and could cause you bad health in the future, or have your or he/she's mother be mad, get a lecture, etc.?


do they sell ipod videos in different colors like pink, green, and blue? can you buy them on ebay? (link)
I've seen them in those colors before, and I'm sure you can buy them on EBAY.




13/f 8th grade

all the guy at my school go for looks in a girl....that's it! that is sooo wrong! as they get older will they change and start realizing that looks don't matter....or will they always be like that? (link)
Well, there are always going to be guys like that, no matter what. But luckily, there are also lots of guys who look for more than just looks in a girl.


i like my bfffff brother who is only 10 and im 13 is that messed up what should i do....
this is sydneys friend not the girl in the picture (link)
Well, I personally could never do that and I'm a year older than you. But I think that it is a personal choice, and if you like him that much, then go for it.

I do have to warn you though, that a lot of people will probably talk about you and this boy. So if you really do like him, just be prepared.

Good luck!


What can I do to be more open about myself with my boyfriend? (link)
You may just be a little shy right now with him, it's completely normal. I think you really have to feel more comfortable around him, and trust him. This happens over time, I've been there so I understand how you feel. It will happen naturally and gradually, even though it seems like it will not.


Does anyone know when "The Illusionist" will come out on DVD (release date)? (link)
Yes, it will be released on 1/9/07.


What kind of shoes do i wear with leg warmers?

I bought a cute pair of cream colored leg warmers at hollister and i thought they would look really nice with my tan mini skirt from american eagle but i wasnt sure with what kind of shoes look okay because everything i can think of sounds dumb

any suggestions? (link)
Heels, pumps, or ballet flats work very well with leg warmers.


me and my boyfriend have been together a year the 15th of this month and i have no idea what to get him. i wanna get him something cute or do something cute for him without spending over $100. do you have any cute ideas for me? itd be greatly appreciated. (link)
Congratulations!!

I would do something really cute for him, like get or even make a framed photo of you two together. You could write him a little note, or letter telling him how you feel about him, etc.



15/f. where is the correct place to spray perfume? like if i buy a perfume that doesn't have a big spray to spray all over...where is the best place to spray it? neck? behind the ears? wrist? i've heard many things.

thanks! (link)
Behind your ears, wrist (you can rub the perfume on your arms too, from there and on your hands). Apply dabs on your shirt and pants/dress, whatever your wearing that day. Apply on your neck too.


(Fourteen; Female)
I've been dealing with mild acne since age 11. I get blackheads on my nose and small pimples (not whiteheads, just bumps) all over my forhead and chin.

With the level of stress rising in school, I now get more and more pimples spreading to my cheeks, temples, neck, chest, arms, and back. Just a few here and there, but rapidly increasing.

Also, cystic pimples are popping up alot.

I've tried everything from Clean&Clear to AcneFree. ProActive is not choice right now due to money. A dermatolgist cannot happen either.

Does anyone have any sort of mirical worker? (link)
I'm fourteen too, and I've pretty much had the same problem as you. The thing that has really worked the best IS Proactiv, but since it's not an option right now. I would recommend Noxema cream, just the cream and only the cream. Don't use anything else on your face, except apply lotion after the cream. Do this morning and night. Make sure not to over-wash your face, because it makes your skin dry, then causes acne, etc. Morning and night is fine.

Try to keep your stess level down, because it does cause acne. I know, it's hard, but it does seriously help your skin if you don't get too stressed out.


i got my first ever period on may 31, 2006. it lasted 2 days. i never got it since. i know they can be irregular, but its almost been half a year. does anyone know when the next time i will get it ? thanks ! (link)
Well, I can't really predict when you'll get it being as you are irregular right now. You'll be that way for a while, and don't worry, it is completely normal.

I would just beware of the period, and always carry a tampon or pad with you.


My hair is really dryed out. Is there any home remeidies anyone has to help my hair? I have tried all the brands at the store but can't afford salon quality. My grandma told me they always used home remeidies but so far I haven't gotten the time to ask her what they are. Can anyone help me?

- Brittle Hair (link)
You need a moisture infusing shampoo & conditioner. I recommend them by Thermasilk. They're great, you won't have another dry, brittle strand of hair again.
