yes, you may have ocd & you should check with your doctor to get tested. i've seen documentary's on this, and the people with OCD did similair things as you; if they touched something w/ their right hand, they'd have to do it with their left as well, etc. these are symptoms of ocd .. but it's not for sure you will have it. you should get it checked out. hope i helped

first of all, if you have recently gotten your period for the first time, it may just be irregular. but, if you've had it for a while, you shouldn't be too worried but the next time you see a doctor, bring it up with her and ask her what could be causing it & what you can do to stop it.

you definetley need to tell someone. even if your scared or worried or don't know how to tell them, it is the best way. i gurantee you, if you are serious, they will believe you because rape is a serious matter. this guy needs to be taken away from you & convicted. so tell a trust adult - your parents, gurdian, someone close to you, before it happens again. good luck!

when they're actually putting them on (the process), it might be a little uncomfortable but won't hurt. however, the next day and for a while you may get ulcers in your mouth and the braces will prob hurt you (wax can help with that, your orthadontist can explain it to you). when you get them taken off, it might feel weird and they do blow cold air on your teeth but i didn't find it painful and most people dont.

that girl doesn't deserve your friendship at all. although it might be hard, forget about her and start hanging out with your other friends more, or branch out and make more friends. appearance, money, and all those superficial don't matter in making a friend. she's just being a bitch.. personality is what matters. she is not worth your time, please don't change yourself for her or feel like you have to prove anything to her. once you move on and start hanging out with other people, she'll prob come back to youu, and then YOU can be the one to turn HER away. and if she doesn't, just think of it as HER loss for losing an amazing friend like you

she may not want to talk about it.. but let her know, "if you ever want to talk about ANYTHING, i'm here for you and i will always be here for you. even if you just want someone to lean on, or jsut be with you, im always here." let her know that yo uare always there for her no matter what.. but after saying that, dont bring it up unless she brings it up first. and DONT say, "i know how you feel" becuase you can't. say, "i understand why you are feeling that way. i wanna do anything i can to help." just let her know you are there & when she needs it, talk to her and comfort her, but dont bring it up with her unless she brings it up with you. goodluck

i know how you feel, a lot of people have a problem with slouching but you probably know that good posture is important for a lot of reasons. first, try to become more aware. if you are working on something and all of a sudden realize you are slouching, roll your shoulders back and try to sit up straght. try putting your back again the chair although that's hard when you're working. just try to become more aware. hope i helped

ok, well if you loose weight it will boost your self esteem. eating less carbs does help, but don't eliminate them completley. just spread them out during the day, dont eat a lot of once. have 15-30 grams of carbs at breakfast, 45-60 at lunch, 15-30 for a snack, 45-60 for dinner, and 15-30 for a night sncak. make sure you eat things that will stay with you - like protein; cheese & meat. the reason eating less carbs will help you is because they don't stay with you and youll get hungry faster with carbs. so make sure when you eat carbs, you also have some cheese or something. nuts are great because they are very filling even if you only eat a little.

to start try to get 1-2 hours of exersize a week. gradually increase from there because your supposed to get 1 hour of exersize a day, but that might be hard to start out with.

it will help you if you keep track of what you eat, too!

when you make progress, don't reward yourself with food. reward yourself with a shirt you want or something.

trust me, this works. i'm doing this and im making good progress in loosing weight. you have to be dedicated so you will be motivated. for example, set goals and tell yourself you want to loose ___ pounds by the summer so you can be comfortable in a bathing suit or something, thats what im doing. so good luck & i hope i helped!! if you need anymore help, ask me more questions!

oh for your skin, ive herad that proactive works really well on all types of skin without damaging it or anything. so try that.

that sucks that he likes you but just doesn't want a gf. don't wait around for him - he probably is just into flirting and having a good time and doesnt want to have to be attached and worry about a gf. if you want a relationship, move on to a different guy that will be willing to give you that

it's not likely, and that is a VERY small chance that you'd get pregnant from that.

talk to your friends about it. ask them why they always blame you, and let them know its not always your fault.

and DONT feel bad or always apologize. apologize when you think you did something wrong, but dont be a doormat. if theyre mad at you or blaming you but you dont think you did anything, say, "I'm sorry you feel that way, BUT i do not agree with you becuase ...."

nuts are very good to eat, they will keep you full for a long period of time. proteins are also good - cheese, meat, etc. will keep you full. however, things like carbs (breads, chips, etc.) dont keep you full for that long.

most people charge 6-10$ an hour. if theres a lot of kids, you should make it more. however, you could also let your employers decide. most of the time they will give you between 6 & 10 dollars an hour.

k so the fact that he said yes and told you were it was makes me think that you are ivnited & that he just forgot to mention it to you, or he told one of your friends to tell you and they forogt, or something liek that .. however it would be very uncomfortable for you if you showed up and that turned out not to be the case. to make sure, maybe you can ask one of your mutual friends to casually bring you up in conversation and ask if your invited. for instance, your friend could say, "im excited for your pary! who's going?" and he could say some names and she could reply with, "cool .. is lauren invited? what about ___ (your name)?" it would be casual but would work.

hope i helped you!

it's true that love takes time, like you said, but it might have hurt her feelings when you said that , since it was probably not the answer she was looking for. if she said she loved you, that's probably how she felt & it probably hurt her that you didn't feel the same way. however, you were right .. love does take time. (: hope i helped!

jeans/some kind of pants like that, cute sweatshirt w/ t shirt under it or zip up hoodie or sweater, scarf/hat/gloves if you want ...

take a shower in the morning instead of at night, and scrunch it in the morning.

if you dont want to wake up that early and take a shower in the morning, try scrunching then blow drying it before bed. you may want to try hair spy too so it will hold. when you sleep, lay your hair out behind you or put it in a low loose pony tail so it wont get damged while you sleep .. xo

have you tried putting your hair up in a messy bun or twist? braids can also be cute .. or wearing your hair naturally once in a while.
