advice

i've gone from size 7 in pants to size 1 in about a month. is that extreme? i've been eating about 1200 calories/day.

whoa yeah
that's a bit extreme.

depending on your age
you need mosr calories than that.

you need like 2000-2500 calories a day
if you're a teenager.

but at least you are eating.
just, try eating a little more.

mmkay?

I have a really bad unibrow. Like REALLY bad. My mom won't let me do anything with it: I am not allowed to pluck it, wax it, or remove it in any way. I try to pluck it, but its really hard because there's so many hairs, and also my mom hates it when I do. But recently she kind of gave up, because I still pluck it anyways.

I want to convince my mom to let me go to a salon and get it professionallly waxed. She will most definetly not be happy upon hearing this, but I just want to remove the unibrow, and get some touchups on my eyebrows. She thinks they will do it really thin, "just like those cashier ladies with drawn on eyebrows". It just makes me really mad. I was over at my friends house once, and she gets her eyebrows waxed, and they were starting to grow back a little, and her mom was like "OMG your eyebrows look horrible we need to get them fixed ASAP". I wish my mom was like that. I actually got my unibrow from her, and she doesn't do anything about hers... and well it looks really bad.

She says waxed eyebrows aren't natural, but unibrows arent either!!

How do I get her to let me? Any good arguments?

they don't make them pencil thin.
just tell them you want a natural look.
and tell your mom the same thing.

or go with your friend (bring your mom with) to watch and then let her see what they do.

hope it helps

how do i look good in pics? i hate getting my pic taken bc i always look ridicouslty bad. and i dont think im ugly. people tell me im pretty all the time.

hellpp?

this happens to me alot >:O
haha.
don't use the flash unless necessary.
casue it makes people look weird.
also, try editing pictures.
I edit mine,
but only like red eye
and the lighting.
that's it
becasue you don't want to edit it so much
that you aren't letting people see the real you.

a little editing goes a lnog way.
because your natural eye color shows
and the lighting is changed
to suit you :]

I have wavy red hair a little below my shoulder. I want a cute hairstyle either my current length or a little shorter. My face is fuller and I don't want a haircut that would make my face look bigger.

Here's a pic of me:

kinds like mine/and/or my friend:

Okay so I really want to dye my hair some crazy color (not your average color i.e. red, blonde, black, brown etc. Something more along the line of different colors i.e. blue, red (the color red not redhead), green, pink, etc.)
But I was wondering which (sp? I suck at spelling tonight and it just looks like I spelled which wrong..) color would look best on me?

Here are two pics of me: http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s165/xx_tickle_me_emo_xx/Picture476.jpg

(this next pic might be better) http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s165/xx_tickle_me_emo_xx/Picture458.jpg


Well, thanks =D

yeah ia gree with the jet black or purple.
maybe do like black with blonde underneath or something cool?

good luck && I'm sure whatever you choose will look amazing :]

I noticed that when one asks a question on Advicenators or any other advice websites many answers to the questions being asked do not make any sense or the answer that is given is to UPSET the person who asked the question - why

people are immature and bored with their own lives.
i actually try to help people
because i'm not an idiot :]

hello. im 14 and female. so i really like this boy, and i seriously think i love him, but he's broke my heart more than once. he used to like me last summer and i didnt like him so he moved on to this other girl.everytime i saw him i started getting feelings for him so we started hanging out and we started to like eachtoher and he broke up with his gf. but then he started liking her again and went back out with her. i cried over him for a long time. i waited 4 months and they broke up. he almost broke up with her multiple times for me. so i thought i would have a chance with him but a couple days later he went out with another girl. do i move on or wait for someone i love and think is worth it?

oh gawd, join the club =/
i just try to move on.
like i found this new guy
whose totally amazing :]
i mean we're not dating or anything,
but he just makes me smile
and thats exactly what you need.
find a new guy
who makes YOU smile :]
who makes you feel good.
trust me it helps a TON.

just try to move on.
be with somebody who dosen't break your heart.
it'll be ok.

and if he decides to come back,
treat him like he treated you.
don't be nice and look desperate for him.
i mean don't be a totaly bitch but
you know..
don't take him back rigth away.

hope it helps :]

Well I was wondering...
Is it true that A.J. Mischalka is dating Mitchel Musso from Hannah Montana? I don't think it is because I read in a Popstar! magazine that he just said that as a joke because they're close friends, but wouldn't it be illegal for them to date anyway? She's like 18 or 19 so she wouldn't be able to date a guy who's 15. Right? Thanks.

99.8 % of the time
when you read,
so and so form disney
is dating so and so from disney.
it's not true.

yet people believe it anyways?

and it wouldn't be illegal if they only dated.

there is this party tonight and i want to tell my crush i like him. i m pretty sure he likes me back.
is this stupid? should i wait? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

do it =]
take a chance.
life's to short to live in fear.

and my friend always says,
if he says no and/or looks weirded out.
laugh and go
just kidding!
haha
i dunno if you wanna do thatt
but i'm just adding it :]

I am currently using a family computer, but i have saved up enough money to buy my own, so i would like to use itunes on my new computer, instad of using this one, but i want to keep all my songs on it. Is there a way to do this??

i had to transfer all my itunes the other day.

so if you have them on your ipod,
downlaod this program called
"music Rescue"
plug in your ipod.

it took like 5 minutes.

then go to itunes.
click add folder.
and add the fodler you saved the music on from music rescue.

hit up my inbox if i confused you?

hope it helps

So, i really want a change but idk what color i should do my hair, its shoulderlenth and blonde, i'm pretty pale.

i'll post a link to my pic

http://a1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/62/l_c71937b7c0145ceb815dffb9f3679118.jpg

try a light caramelly brown?
why don't you do temporary color first,
then if you like it
go permanent.

I think a light brown would look good.
Or like a honey blonde that's almost brownish.

you also have pretty eyes :]

hope this helps

it'll all be ok.
why not go live with a relative?
grandparents, aunt/uncle?
or try talking to your mother.
tell her you can't be on your own
while dealing with a little brother.

tell her you can't go through losing another parent.
15 year olds aren't old enoguh to rasie themselves & a 10 year old.

we're supposed to be out living the best time of our lives!

and you DO have things to live for.
one person can change the world.

if you ever wanna talk,
just inbox me =]

hope this helps
