ok im 13 and i have lots of cool friends and i am just an avrage outgoing random kinda girl, except one thing, my ears....A LOT of people at school make fun of my ears and guys wont go out with me and are embarrassed to be around me because of my ears :*-( they call me "big ears" "dumbo" "elf" etc. and my ears are not big they just kinda stick out and i have thin hair which makes it worse. i hate getting my hair wet or putting in a ponytail because my ears always stick out. i used to not have a problem wtih my ears until people made fun of me and i couldn't ignore it and i would like cry for days and it hurts so bad!! my ears hold me back from doing ALOT of things i would love to do. my parents tell me to ignore it but they dont understand!! they wont let me get them pined back because it cost to much so i always hide my ears by my hair but it sometimes doesnt work. SO PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE! I HATE BEING MADE FUN OF AND GETTING HELD BACK FROM THINGS I LOVE! please and thank you! 13/f/fl
You probably don't want to hear me say this but i am going to. you shouldn't be ashamed about your ears, they are what make you unique. ok there i said it =] now i'm going to move on to helping you...
you said that you have a lot of friends. so just stick by them. if they are your true friends then they won't make fun of you for your ears. you need to learn to be more confident about your ears, because if you are ashamed of them and keep trying to hide them, that will just draw even more attention to them. eventually people will forget about them, or they will stop talking about them.
think of it this way, everybody has at least one thing that they don't like about themselves. with me it is my teeth (they suck hahaha). with some people it is their skin, or their weight, or height, or maybe they have an embarrassing birthmark. your not alone, nobody is perfect.
if you want to try to hide your ears then wear your hair down. try curling or scrunching your hair which will add more volume and body to your hair which might help cover your ears. do you have a habit of putting your hair behind your ears? if you do then try to break this habit. everytime that you catch yourself doing it, stop and keep it down. you could always try talking to your hairdresser about thickening your hair.
about you being called names. people only make fun of you to make themselves feel better. don't let them get to you. if you aren't bothered by the names then they will eventually stop calling you them.
you should really sit down with your parents or just your mom if it makes you more comfortable. or if you have a sister try talking to her. tell them just how much your ears are bothering you and how people are calling you names. if you are truly set on getting the surgery then talk to your parents.
just look on the brightside and realize that there are so many things that are more important then your ears. just concentrate on your school work and take up a sport or join a club to get your mind off your ears.
good luck with everything and feel free to ask me anymore questions that you might have =]
I have a cousin who's 15. Her birthday is coming up and she loves to read. She's into fantasy books, adventure and romance type books. Is there any books or series you would recomend. PLEASE help! I have absolutely no clue what to get her.
i just read three AMAZING books that you should look into.
M or F? -- by Lisa Papademetriou
Elsewhere -- by Gabrielle Zevin
Vegan Virgin Valentine -- by Carolyn Mackler
they are so good. they are girly books based off the lives of an average teenage girl.
I'm 13, And I have my myspace there isnt much on it, but I moved away and I like to stay in contact with alot of my old friends.
Well I recently talking a boy who is the brother of one of my new friends.. We will call him Chris. Chris is 18. And he starting getting over flirty with me on AIM so I asked him if he remember my ageand he told me he did then said he had to go. I completly ignored his 'flirts' towards me. Then he started talking to me over myspace and flirted even more.. and i told him I'm to young for him & he's to old for me. I mean he's almost the same age as my older.. thats sick. And he responded to me saying that he believes I enjoy when he flirts with me, and im to "sexy" to not flirt with. I told him him to leave me alone and I blocked him myspace & aim. Then I told my brother.. becase he's an adult who i trust. My brother thinks I did the wrong thing and should have told him right away when the flirts started happening.
And this boy chris still tries to make new aim accounts and i just block him.
Did i do the right thing?
YES! you definitly did the right thing. you were responsible and you started to feel uncomfortable with the situation so you took control. good for you! what i would do is make a new AIM screen name that way even if he does make new AIM accounts he can't IM you because he doesn't know your new screen name.
also does he know your cell phone number or where you live? hopefully not. but if he keeps trying to talk to you or flirt with you let your brother help you out. your his sister and he wants you to be safe.
you could also let your friend (the one who's brother is Chris) know what Chris has been doing.
just be careful and keep your brother informed :]
i really like this guy that i know from school. we have made plans to hang out a few times but they never seem to work or because one of us always ends up not being able to do it. its never been just the two of us going to hang out its always going to have been us and another couple or other people but not really like a double date which is not what we called it but it may have seemed like that to someone else but to us it was just a chance to hang out. but i really like him and hes a really flirty guy with all girls so i have no idea how he feels. i want him to know that i like him more than just friends but i dont want to just come out and tell him because i dont want things to be ackward if he doesnt feel the same way. do you think he has realize? what things should i do or say that would hint to him that i am interested in being something more than friends?
wow i'm am going through the EXACT same thing right now. and the same thing happened with us making plans and them never working out. but it seems to me that he only likes you as a friend because he cares enough about you to make plans with you, but then he also isn't afraid to cancel them. if he really did like you i think that he wouldn't cancel.
but that is just from my experiences, and your situtation could be different from mine. so good luck :]
Hey, can you help me find the lyrics to a song called "Shinging Days" by "Slow Motion Reign".. i've looked everyware but cant find them. Thanks.
i'm sorry i can't really help you as much as i would have liked. i've been searching for a while and i can't find the lyrics either. but i do know that the CD comes with the lyrics. so you could try looking there. or you could just try listening very closly over-and-over again to the song.
i'm so sorry i couldn't help you any more.
whenever i change my pad or tampon at school it takes a long time and makes a lot of noise ( the crinkling paper and taking pads off)
so what are some tips on how to do this faster and quieter?
i'll take anything i can get!
HAPPY 2007.
ok this is what i do. because i always change my tampons right before lunch when a lot of girls go to the bathroom. i put my tampon in my lunchbag and then when i go into the stall i take my lunch with me. then i wait until someone either flushes the toilet or turns on the water and i quickly open the tampon wrapper. then you can put it in or put on your pad and then when you flush you can put the wrapper in the little box that all of the stalls have.
i hope that helps a little :]
what does clear mascara do to your lashes? does it give black to it or what thanks
clear mascara is just a a more natural looking way to define your lashes. like if you have really blonde eyelashes then i would recommend using clear mascara.
I have a problem with all the jeans i buy! in about 6 months time after i buy them, they start to rip at ususlly the crotch part. I cant keeping buying jeans over and over again. Am i over wearing them? What can i do to get rid of the problem?
-Thanks!
i would recommend what the other people have told you, to not wash them as often. but i would also recommend that when you do wash them make sure to zip up the zipper. if you wash jeans with the zipper open then they are more prone to ripping in the crotch area.
good luck =]
I'm not sure but I've been told I have OCD.
I know some things I do seem a bit odd but w/e. I'll give some examples so you can tell me what you think...
- My food cannot touch
- When I'm sitting down, people cannot touch my chair or table
- When I do my hair, it has to be perfect or I redo it
- My spelling has to be correct (caps)
- When I speak french, it has to be with a certain accent even though I'm not from the area where that accent is normal (compicated one)
- etc...
What do you think? What should I do about these things?
i'm not really sure that you have OCD because for one you said that your spelling has to be correct and in your question you spelling complicated wrong =] lol. i think you might just be a bit of a perfectionist like me. but if you are really certain that you have OCD then go to a doctor to check for sure.
how do you get your picture to be that big on here?
i always have to make mine super tiny!
kthnks :]

what i do is upload my picture onto imageshack first and then use the URL they give me.

Well i like this girl but i cant seem to get past the "friends" stage can i please get some advice preferably from a girl telling me what girls like.
ok i'm a girl so i'll try to help you =] what i would say is everytime you see her in the hall at school say hey or at least smile. if you have a class together, walk to the class together. also try hugging her. it might be ackward at first, so try a casual hug at first. like if she gets you a christmas present give her a hug and say thank you. and that is another one, get her a christmas present, i think that is very cute coming from a guy.
try going to the movies with her and some other friends, but make sure you get a seat next to her.
good luck =]
When i walk around someimtes my leg starts to hurt. like from right undr my butt to right under my knee. sometimes it hurts so bad i cant stand to walk.
when i was little i had surgery on my leg ((the left one the one i talked about)). somethin came out of place but when i was little i just woke up and couldnt move my leg but now my leg just starts to hurt at random times.
personally i think that you should tell your parents about it and go to the doctors before it gets worse. i think what you might have is a herniated disk. this is in your back but having a herniated disk can cause shooting pains down your leg.

okay well at my school dances nobody really dances. its more like theyre each others stripper poles. im not really that type of girl who dances like a whore. i dont want to look like an idiot though. what should i do?
at my school dances a lot of people do that. but i'm the same with you. just don't think about how your dacning and have fun. what i do is i like grab my friends hands and we just like move around (not like strippers) more like just move our hips and our arms. we just dance in a big group of girls and jump and move our hips around and arms. you don't have to look like a whore in order to dance and have fun. just don't focus on what others are doing and just have fun!
ok help me check if my answer is correct please! im trying to prove santa doesn't exist.. by saying he wouldnt possibly have time to visit all the houses and crap like that.. so lets say there's 2 billion people in the world, of which 30% are children under 15 (meaning thats how many people have a right of getting presents) and the average is 3,2 children per family.... and santa has 30 houres to deliver ALL presents.. how much time does santa have at each house?
to now this we have to know how many houses there are, right? so i tried doing this..
0.30 * 2000000000 = 600000000 children
600000000/3.2 = 87500000 houses
ANSWER: 30/187500000
but what the heck does that mean?
on my calcultor that doesnt work!
so it cant be right can it???
is this for school? well anyway what you should do is either choose 3 or 2 as your average kids per house. i'd go with 2. so then you should do this
.30 * 2000000000 = 600000000 children getting presents
then do:
600000000/2= 300000000 houses
then you do
30 hrs / 300000000 = .0000001 hrs per house
then you can change that to be mintues or seconds.
.0000001 hours per house
.000006 mintues per house
.00036 seconds per house
there you go :]
i definitely didn`t know what category to put this in but yeah does anybody know where to learn how to do the heel toe or walk it outt ? kinda random but thanksssss
do you think you could clarify this question for me. what exactly are the heel toe and walk it out? are they dance moves or types of dance? if i knew more i could probably help you better...
Hey im starting to workout cause my bmi is a little high. So I need some ideas for some music that I could work out to. I like all kinds of music so any ideas you have would be great.
when i go jogging these are the songs that i listen to:
the new hellogoodbye CD
OK Go
Cute is What we Aim for
Taking Back Sunday
Highschool never ends - by Bowling for soup
fergilicous
sexyback
maneater
smack that
Head Automatica - Graduation Day
and there are so many more good exercising songs. the key is to just find a fast paced song that you like. this will keep your mind off of the actual exercising so you won't get tired as fast or feel inclined to stop.
good luck!
okay, so i take spanish. Im in 8th grade..and i usually get b's and stuff.
BUt this time i got and F. IT was a voc. quiz but it couted as a test!. I have a A- B+ Average right noww..what do you think my avergae would be noww if i got a 47!
ANd now that i got an F, im soo worried about my other school work. And i have to take this big SSat test to get into hs.soo i have a lot of pressure being put on me..and like noo one understants..
i don't no what to doo .please help
okay i take spanish also and i know that it really helps me to make flash cards with one side spanish and one side english. then you can study then whenever like even during the commercials while watching TV. but about your F don't worry too much about it. i got a D in math once but it didn't hurt my grade that bad. your average is probably about a B- right now. so just continue to study and use flash cards and don't forget to do your homework. you'd never know how much your grade depends on if you do your homework :]
i have the jergens face tanner stuff and i use it on my face every day. then i went to the website and read this:
How to apply Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizer – for your face
Apply to freshly cleansed face.
Smooth on evenly, blending into jawline and hairline, and avoiding eyebrows.
Rinse excess residue from palms, fingertips and around nails.
Allow several minutes for the product to dry and begin working before applying other facial products.
Jergens® natural glow FACE Daily Moisturizer is non-comedogenic, and is specifically designed for use on your face.
For best results, do not exfoliate face more than once a week.
the last sentence i don't understand. what does it mean? and can this product give me zits? thanks for answeringg.
okay don't panic your using it correctly. to make sure you fully understand the last line you must first know what an exfoliater is. it can be like a scrub or in a lotion form. but whatever form it is in it will have hard beads in it that scrub the dead skin cells off of your face.
jergens face tanner is NOT an exfoliater. what the last line means if you are using an exfoliater ALONG with the self tanner then only use that exfoliater ONCE a week instead of everyday with the tanner. if you used an exfoliater along with the tanner then it would scrub off the tanner along with the dead skin cells and the tanner wouldn't be work as well.
here is an example of an exfoliater:

1.is maybelline a good make up brand?
2.whats better than maybelline, covergirl or revlon? or none? [maybellines the best!]
3.how do i blacken my lashes ? what kind of mascara would you recommend?
well personally i only use maybelline for their wonder finish foundation. because i love that stuff. i guess overall maybelline is good. because i know that sooo many people use their great lash mascara. i don't like covergirl, so i wouldn't use that. i don't know if you care or not but i do know that maybelline and covergirl test on animals and i know for a fact that revlon doesn't. but if that doesn't matter then revlon's makeup is more expensive and better quality then the rest. okay for mascara i love maybelline great lash in blackest black. that mascara always tends to never clump. but make sure to buy waterproof because it can smear easily.
good luck!
***EDIT***
testing on animals means that before they put the product out on the market for people to buy they have to test it on an animal to make sure it isn't harmful. they test the makeup in the animals eyes and make then swallow it and it is really bad for the animals but they do this to make sure that if humans accidentaly get it in their eyes or swallow it it can't kill us. go here for more information:
