aww im sorry. think of it this way: when people present stuff in my class, i'm always either completly zoned out and extremly bored i'm not paying attention, or i'm sleeping. so is 95% of the class, nobody cares so your basically just saying it to your teacher so dont worry about it

just ice it a few times a day..or maybe use icy hot. i get injuries all the time in xc and it usually only takes about a week to get better if i'm good about icing and stretching.

Q: I look absolutly dreadful in the mornings, like most people. I get big bags under my eyes, I tend to break out right when I wake up, my face looks oily and dirty, my eyes look small and tired. I wash my face every morning and night, put on lotion morning and night, and I use concelar and foundation. Most of it wears off after a few hours, but my eyes are the same most of the day. Of course if I'm getting ready at night, everything is gone. Please if anyone has any tips to looking better in the mornings, let me know! THANKS!

put concealer under your eyes, and try and get some more sleep thats prob whats causing it. also, putting on lotion on your face before you go to bed could be whats making it oily and breaking out escpecialy if it clogs your pores and ifyou have naturally oily skin. i know if i put lotion on my face it makes it break out.

Q: im failing math, not by much, i have a 69 and a c is a 70, i just took a test and think i did pretty good so it should be a c now but i have to get a report card signed with the f on it and in like a week were getting our official grade cards with my f on it.i cant show my parents it, ive always been a great student until this year, now im getting only 2 a's , one b i pulled up from a c, a high c, and now this f.and im just so upset with myself for it and now i have to tell my parents who are putting it on me to raise my grades and reminding me that this is my worst grades every and i just cant do it(tell them), i especially dont want my dad to know and its almost the end of the year so i hardly have time to bring it up and if i do bad again im screwed for sure, how do i tell them? how do i bring up my grade?(im not sure my teacher is giving extra credit work anymore) and how do i not fail by the end of the year?

how do i tell them?

sorry its so long

just show them and tell them its a C now, and make somethin up about ahh i just dont get math at all! i try soo hard but it just doesn't come to me! i need a tutor! yada yada yada..works like a charm

Q: i'm 13 and not allowed to wear make up. my mom thinks i'm too young (what's the big deal, though? it's not like i'll turn into a slut or something!). my dad.... anyway! i was wondering if there was something kind of like make up or something or whatever any tiups on how i can look prettier like i would with make up but is not very noticable (except it makes me look a little better). ways to make my lashes longer, little bit rosier cheeks, whatever. but as long it doesn't make me look cheap or anything. if this helps, i'm a brunnette, darkish beige skin, lightish brown eyes, full (but not huge) lips. i'll rate 5's to everyone who helps.

just put like a little blush on and maybe some mascara, and you'll look better, but not enough to really notice you're wearing makeup

Q: ok, so i am/was really good friends with this girl. she was new to our school nd just because she was new and not totally ugly, every guy fell in love with her, and is in love with her. but, she really isnt that pretty at all , she has big boobs, but i have the same size, she is no skinnier than me, she is a size larger, and im a better cheerleader than her, but they still like her only because she is new. its not her personality cause she is kinda annoying. and she is leaving our school next year but for some reason they think they still have a chance with her. but, i still dont get why everyone likes her better? please help me understand. i rate 5 for not bad advise.

eh its just because shes something they haven't seen before...by this time in a few months from now she'll just be another girl that goes to your school.

Q: at the end of the school year my school is goin gon a trip and i need ways to get money FAST! (( i need about $300 by june)) i need quick easy ways to do this and other than babysitting (( i already do))

... THANKS FOR THE HELPP!

well if you babysit every weekend that should help...offer to wash your parents cars or something..or u could save up ur allowance each week..it all adds up. if you still don't have enough money by then just ask your parents to kick in and you'll finish making the rest of the money when you get back.

Q: i want to join cross country next year, and i was wondering... what all do you do and how far do you run?

cross country is awesome!! we do about 6 or 7 on easy days(tues, thurs) and some type of workout, like 8x800s or something like that the other days of the week...and the races are 3.1 miles its tough but sooooooooo worth it!! xc kids are cool!!
