Last night, Katie, Meghan, Julie and I went to this dance. Meghan grinded with a few guys which, really, is no big deal but she's going to be talking about it for a while now, not because she's really happy or she likes the guys, bt because she wants to shove it in other people's faces and brag so people think alot of gusy like her. adgvice? (link)
Let her brag. Don't do anything to entertain her. She'll automatically shut up if she doesn't get any reaction.

Sheesh...I can't stand this type of people. When she thinks back bout this, she'd deff be embarrassed. Let her be, there's no need to bother bout this type of people who have nothing better to do with their lives.


What are some good excuses to get a guy's number or screen name that you like? (link)
"Hey hi! I've seen you around school and I don't have your number"

Just ask to the point. The more you beat bout the bush, the more he knows your intention.


1) I have a widow's hump (which is like the top of my spine sticking out of the back of my neck), short hair just under my ears, a wide frame and alot of loose fat on my back, sides, face, neck tummy and legs (so pretty much everywhere), I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR THAT I AM COMFY IN THAT ISN'T TOO EXPENSIVE!

2) For the past few months i have found myself really depressed/hyper and up and down with my mood, i am usually a quiet person but i am getting really mouthy and big-headed lately, especially with my teachers. I don't know whether it is because i have one short period flow every third month or whether i am actually depressive.

Please help

love extremely confused english girl, chickpea

Hi there, I guess I know what your major problem is- you're unhappy with your life.

OK look, don't sit there and start thinking bout your bad points. Don't brood over it. DO SOMETHING BOUT IT. If you don't like your hair the way it is, grow it out, let it grow long. Don't start counting the number of fats you have and start tearing your hair out. FIND the solution to it.

There IS definitely affordable clothes that you can wear. You can wear collar shirt and polo tees. If you have a wide frame, try to wear darker colours. Get jeans to make yourself look slimmer.

As for your mood swings, learn to control your temper. Everytime you lose your temper, do you realise that you actually feel embarrassed bout it later on? Respect your teachers. Be patient while handling matters. Do things one step at a time. Make the best of the situations thrown at you. Don't sit down there and think that the world's against you. Think bout happy things, happy memories. Learn to be optimistic. Don't sink down into depression cos seriously, it's no point dwelling over unhappy stuff. Why stress yourself and make yourself so upset?

Do your tasks right, do your homework well. Do what you have to do seriously and always do your best. Learn to love yourself more and cherish life.


I have 2 guinea pigs and i changed their bedding about once a week. I put baking soda or whatever that stuff is called at the bottom of the bed so it wont smell AS bad but does anybody have any remedies that can help me out so the room doesnt smell so bad? (link)
Haha! Yea! I used to have the same problem as you. When you have 2 of those little guys running bout in the same cage, they can really pee and shit man!

1) Clear a stinky pee patch when you see one and replace with fresh shavings.
2) Stir the shavings daily
3) Continue to change their bedding once a week

And you're all done! Really. Just clear their pee patch daily. OK maybe if you're a little lazy, which I am sometimes, clear a pee area when it starts to smell. Then you can rest for a few days.

Let me know how it goes =)


So theres this guy i like and a little while ago we were talking lots and hanging out at school and stuff...things looked like they were going well. but this past week we only talked a little bit in our foods class...and then i see him with my friend and they are flirting lots...shes the type that will flirt with a lot of guys and theyll all fall for her. i know in the end, if something happens with them, hell end up getting hurt. she knew i liked him too... i'm not sure what to do.. ive never had a boyfriend and im not sure how to "play" these kinds of things. i like him and want to talk to him more and we have lots in common.. what should i do?

Dont worry. From what I see, you are already having an edge over your friend; cos you and that guy have lots in common.

Continue talking to him. I'm very sure that if you're comfortable around him, he's definitely be comfortable around you too. Just do what you normally do. Talk to him more, get to know him more, talk bout personal stuff without being too intrusive.

If they wanna flirt, let them flirt. If he wanna fall for her, let him fall for her. You can't control his feelings. Sometimes people need to be slapped in the face b4 they know someone's true colours.

Don't go and flirt and do stuff which you normally don't do. Let him like you for who you are. Always be there for him if you can. Get to know him more. Show him that you really care for him. He's probably spending trashy time with your fren by flirting with her so you should spend more quality time with him. Have lunch with him. Walk home with him, etc.

Take it easy; enjoy his company while you're with him and he'll totally enjoy being around you.


and he's very mean to me ,usually.
Other times hes nice.
But im going to Kill him with kindness
and ignore most of his casual conversation.
Is this a good idea?

ps dont ask why i like him if hes mean, i just do lol (link)
Haha. I know why you like him even though he's mean. It's precisely cos he's mean that's why you like him. We always want what is difficult to get.

Honestly speaking, it seems like he isn't really into you yet. I don't really think it's a good idea to flood him with kindness cos from the looks of it, it seems like he'll take you for granted. When you want this type of guy to notice you, you should ignore them...in a subtle way. And get him to notice you without being too obvious.

Like for eg, talk to your frens around you and show him that you're having a good time with your frens. Laugh when you really feel like laughing. (p.s but dun overdo it, cos you'll look like a lunatic)

You can be kind to him though, but don't be toooo nice. Cos it may seem like you're a pushover to him. Help him whenever he needs help but don't offer to do more. Guys like girls who are a little hard to get.

All these are just supplementary to getting his attention. But most importantly, you should be comfortable around him and just relax and enjoy his presence. He'll definitely love you when he enjoys being around you.

I hope you get the essence of what I'm saying cos it's really very hard to explain. But do drop me a msg if you wanna clarify certain things.

All the best =)


For my englihsh class we have to make 10 comparisons of celebrities.

An example: Will Ferrel is as tall as Vince Vaghun.

That basically means I need 20 celebrities, in pairs of what they have alike.

So far I have,

1. Marilyn Monroe is as talented as James Dean.
2. Jessica Simpson is as blonde as Christina Aguilera.
3. Jeff Corwin likes crocodiles as much as Steve Irwin.
4. Jim Carrey is as funny as Robin Williams.

Can anyone help me think of more pairs of celebrities that have things in common?? THANK YOU! :] (link)
1)Arnold Schwarzenegger is as muscular as ____( I cant think of anyone for the moment)

2)Tom Cruise is as charming as Pierce Brosnan

3)Eva Longoria is as short as kristin kreuk

4)Beyonce is as busty as Tyra Banks


OK, I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, but, I just have a quick question. I work in food service, so, I have to have my hair up the whole time. Well, tomorrow I have somewhere to go right after work, so, I will basically be doing the "quick pick me upper" thing in the bathroom before I get off. I was just wandering, how can I get rid of my pony tail bump fast before I even leave work? It is a hugh bump that I can't just brush down. Any ideas? Thanks. (link)
Don't tie your hair too tightly.

Do you wear a cap at work? Maybe you could bun your hair into your cap.


If a guy only puts the tip of his penis in a girl is she still a virgin?

Why do girls walk kind of weird after having sex for the first time?

Do you really bleed alot your first time having sex? (link)
Technically speaking, a girl's not a virgin only when her hymen's broken.

The concept of virginity really depends. What I feel, is that the moment it enters a girl, be it just a few cm or be it a finger or a penis, it means she has lost her virginity. Feel free to disagree with me on that.

Girls walk weird cos of friction during sex.

As for your last question, I can't answer you cos I haven't done it.



There's this guy in the year below me, lets call him M, that I saw when I went to this party in June. I noticed he looked at me a few times when I was there, but only as much as he looked at other girls. We had to play this game that involved girls landing on guys, me and my friend landed on M and his friend, lets call him A, my friend was nearest to M and I was nearest to A. The next time we played it my mate landed on A and I landed on M. A said to M 'damn, you got her and I only got her friend'.
About a week after the party I was chatting to A on msn, and he said he thought I was really fit, and so did his mate M. My friend L also told me that M had told her to tell me he thought I was fit.
At school the next day I was in my ICT class and M was waiting outside to go into his class. He saw me through the window in the door of my class and made eye contact with me for what seemed like ages.
I saw M once during the summer holidays but he didnt seem to notice me. Then 2 weeks ago I went to this party and he was there. At the beginning, M and his mates were all staring at me and my friends. When we were dancing to the cha cha slide he stood infront of me so that whenever we had to move forwad we were really close. Then his mates, S and J came over and said that they were a gay couple and me and my mates were talking to them and M came and stood next to S and J and just stood there smiling for ages and then danced with us for, like, 5 seconds before going off. The problem is, M didnt talked to me and seemed to have a couple of girls wrapped around him most of the time.
At school whenever I'm in the lunch hall at the same time as M he stares at me for a while. Once I went and talked to someone sitting at his table then when I glanced over at M he quickly looked away.
Do you think M fancies me or not?
(link)
Yup. Seems to me that he does.


Okay,
So, my boyfriend, Craig, enrolled in the army about 6 months ago, and left right away for Iraq. Well, a month after he left, I went to a party with a couple of girlfriends. Some man put a drug in my drink, and I passed out on the couch. The man picked me up and took me to a back room and raped me. I ended up getting pregnant, and sine i am pro-life I did not and will not abort the baby. After 5 months of pregnancy, my boyfriend came home and rang my doorbell. When I answered, he saw that I was pregnant and took off.
Now, he won't talk to me, answer any messages on myspace, answer my phone calls or anything!!

what do i do? (link)
oh dear. Did you report to the police bout this? I really think you should if you haven't.

Give him time cool down. Don't keep hankering after him cos he's avoiding you now and he might get really pissed cos your relationship with him is really raw now. I know it's very upsetting for you but don't try to explain yourself to him for now. He's just too hot headed and I dun think he's ready to let reality sink in yet.

Meanwhile, maybe you could tell your close friends or family bout this? Getting a lot of support is what you really need now.

I may not be mature enough to handle this question but I really hope I did help a little.


i'm an 18 year old girl who started to party with a guy from work,brad, a couple of months ago. brad's best mate is jack. jack has a girlfriend, sarah, but every time i see him he trys to have sex with me. each time i tell no becoz he has a gf. everyone knows he doesn't care about her, hes only going out wit her coz she handles his money, and shes going out with him coz he shouts her everything. he keeps telling me he really wants me and now even brad is telling me to have sex wit him. the only thing that is bothering me is the fact i really want to, but will i be a bad person if i do?? what should i do?? (link)
No. Please don't have sex with Jack. From what I know, he really wants you...for sex. I don't think I'd wanna do it with a jerk; a guy who treats his gf like trash, even if it's just for a fling.

Do you know if Sarah really likes Jack? How would she take it if she knew that he did it with another girl?

I don't know your character and I'm not sure if you are open to the idea of having sex without expecting the guy to commit himself into a relationship. But what I honestly feel, is that with sex comes along some form of attachment afterwards.

Jack could've told Brad to persuade you to do it. You'll never know and you don't know. Don't hang around with guys like that.

Think of the consequences first. Its ultimately up to you to decide for yourself.


ok i just turned 13 a week ago and i'm in 7th grade, and i havn't had a boyfriend yet...i'm pretty sure its because... i'm ugly, i mean i wear glasses i'm 5'0 or 5'1 and i'm fat... (135) waht do i do?? i cant talk to a friend or cousin or aunt, and my mom passed away. so i live with my dad. what should i do?? please please please help me. o and if u say maybe to change my hairstyle, tell me a site or link please p.s. i have brown hair and the length is the middle of my arm befor my elbow. (link)
Hey man I can't delete my answer. Damn it.

P.S just ignore this


So i liked this guy a lot last year and he was in my school and then in the middle of the school year he switched schools and the day he was leaving our school this one girl told him that i liked him and then he started hating me because i still lived in his neighborhood and he thought i stalked him even though i didnt and he went and told everyone at his new school. So like now hes back in the US( i moved from there and im really far away) so yeah and me and my friend switched schools to the school he was going 2 cuz we hated our school and now i think a lot of people hate me because he spread rumors about me and like i know most of you r gonna say just b urself and ignore them but thats easier said than done because like i dont want people to hate me and stuff...wat should i do?? PLEASE HELP!! (link)
Wow. Did you realise that your question has only 2 sentences? Anyway, such stuff aside. I've read and re-read your question cos it's a little hard to understand and I hope I did interpret it correctly.

Firstly, why did you switch to a school where he's currently going? Correct me if I'd interpreted this wrongly.

Are you sure people at school hates you just cos of the dumb rumours that he spread? He may hate you but that doesn't mean the others do. Verify that fact first before jumping to conclusions.(because in your question you said you "think" people at school hates you).

Besides, I don't think people will be pre-occupied with such trivial rumours he has to say bout you.

Imagine yourself as someone whom he has spread the rumour to. What will be your reaction? I guess you'd probably say 'ew' and forget bout it after a while.

People have their own things to do , own lives to lead and own pre-occupations. Even if there are really idiotic people out there who'd care so much bout this rumour, what can you do to stop these assholes? Why do you even bother to care bout what they think? People who indulge in gossips and in critising other's bad points are in fact the ones who are the most insecure.

If there are people who refuse to talk to you cos of this, I guess you shouldnt even be friends with them. While you're in school, you'll slowly make new friends. And these friends, (assuming they've heard bout the rumour) once they start talking to you, their misconception bout you will start to shake off. Don't worry bout things that are beyond your control.

If you are at a total loss bout what to do, take things one step at a time. Force yourself to concentrate in your studies first and throw away all those worries bout people hating you. Don't brood over the matter. The more you think bout it, the longer it seems to stay. The more you try to ignore the problem, the faster it'd go away and it'll be gone even before you know it.

Talk to people in your class, don't behave like you're very conscious bout the whole rumour issue, be nice, be friendly, don't try too hard though just let things go with the flow. Time will heal everything. Don't stress yourself too much. Don't worry. Tell yourself to shut out the worries of tomorrow and concentrate on doing your best for today and today only.


What color shoes do you wear with a turquoise dress or shirt? What color leggings do you wear with this also? (link)
I'd wear it with a matching coloured heels. You can wear it with ballet flats too; it gives a cute look.=)

Black or white goes well with turqoise clothings. The colour turqoise is a rather complex(I don't know how I should put it) colour. So it goes best with safe and plain colours like black.

Hope I'd helped =D



im 13 and i weigh 142 pounds. i know i am overweight and i have a big schedule but i need to lose weight! can anyone please give me some quick excercises i can do because i want to lose 4 pounds in one month. also any foods would be good too. (link)
-Eat more during your lunch time and eat less during dinner.

-Everytime after a meal, don't sit down. Walk about for about 15-20 minutes and make sure you feel less bloated b4 you sit down.

-If you need/want to sit down, sit up straight and tighten your stomach muscles(this contributes to giving you a flatter and more toned abdomen)

-Have your dinner 3 hrs before bed time to make sure you arent sleeping with a full stomach and that all your food has been digested

-Make sure you work out for at least 45 minutes a day

-Most importantly, cut down on food with high fat or oil content. I dun believe in things like cutting down on calories. Just reduce your fat/oil intake.


you know how there is always that one friend you have to says what they feel right to your face? well, i do and her name is carrie. we got in this big fight today at lunch and she was all up in my face. i was like back up and she was like whatever, your such a two faced b*tch. god she makes me so mad! what should i do about this? help me!

(link)
Yup I totally understand what you're saying. T-O-T-A-L-L-Y.

There are a number of reasons as to why they behave like so:
1)They enjoy seeing a reaction out of you.
2)They have low self esteem and so they point out people's mistakes to make themselves feel better.
3)They are jealous of you because deep down , they know that they admire you
4)They are pessimistic bout most things and they bear grudges against anything and everything.

Firstly, understand why is she behaving like this. Is it because she has low self esteem and enjoys crushing people? If that's the case, why should you bother bout the stuff that comes out from her mouth? These words should probably come out thru her ass but maybe her brain has some problems trying to process her ideas. Ignore this type of people. Don't stoop to her level by arguing with her. Be smart, show that you are of a better grade than her by not getting pissed by her comments.

She could be actually admiring you and refusing to accept tt -jealousy. As a result she expresses such feelings like by criticising you.

Think, why does she like to tell people hurtful things? From there, think bout how you should react to her comments.


Hi im a 13 yr old male and i like to wear girls panites thongs and bras...is there anything wrong with this , is this normal, is it like a sin to do it?
Thanks , answer asap please (link)
Yes there's something wrong. Ask yourself do you see most guys doing it? Is it a common phenomen? I guess the answer is pretty obvious.

As to whether it is a sin or not, it depends on what's your religion. What you did is deem to be a sin in the christian context.



ok i just turned 13 a week ago and i'm in 7th grade, and i havn't had a boyfriend yet...i'm pretty sure its because... i'm ugly, i mean i wear glasses i'm 5'0 or 5'1 and i'm fat... (135) waht do i do??i cant talk to a friend or cousin or aunt, and my mom passed away. so i live with my dad. what should i do?? please please please help me.

I believe no one is ugly in this world. Everyone will have his/her own special features or something good within.

And of cos,you my dear, I believe you aren't ugly. Learn to love yourself. I'm sure everyone has something pretty bout them. Everytime you look at yourself in the mirror, smile your best smile.Tell yourself that you're beautiful and sexy! There's a saying which goes "There're no ugly women in this world. Only lazy women"

If you wear glasses, maybe you can get contacts. Or if you want, you can get yourself a pair of cool, nice fashionable spectacles.

If you are conscious bout your weight, go work out and lose some pounds. Get up and do something! Don't sit there and brood over your shortcomings!

Dye your hair, have it layered; do whatever it takes to make yourself feel good bout yourself.

Spending money on stuff that makes you feel good bout yourself is money worth spending. For eg, if it takes me 100 bucks to get my hair rebonded and if it makes me look and feel beautiful, I'd say that 100 bucks is pretty cheap because it can buy me confidence, which is priceless.

Find friends to talk to. I can assure you friends will be your best companions throughout your growing years.=)
Maybe you can talk to your dad regarding confidence and self esteem issues? He's your dad and he'll definitely be willing to help you.

Lastly, you don't need a bf to make yourself feel great. What's more, having a bf means having to maintain the relationship and possibly having to deal with the pain of breaking up. Are you ready for one? Are you ready to commit and juggle your time between school work and bf?

You are still young, only 13!! You've not even lived a quarter of your live yet! Trust me, there will be guys out there who'll love you for who you are. Don't go searching for bfs cos relationships will just happen to you without you even knowing that you're already in love =)



hey..

I'm a freshmen 15/f

The other day my friend said I was kinda prepy but I don't see myself as prepy at all and I hate that I was called prepy. I see myself as more athletic than prep but I mean I get almost all my clothes from ae so I guess I kinda am prepy but I just hate the fact that I was called prep. And ever since I was recely in h.s I've been so worried about my looks, hair, weight, etc. and I'm kinda confused who I am right now cause I never thought I'd be called prepy or worry about my appreace soo much. So is this normal for me to worry about my appreance and like how can I figure out who I am and what I wanna be? (link)
Oh yes it's perfectly normal for you to worry so much. I'm 18 and I've worried bout that when I was around your age.

You see, you worry so much bout your appearance and all that is because you are finding your identity. You are trying to find out who you are.And also, wanting to get more of the guys' attention =)

IF you dont see yourself as preppy, then so be it. You don't have to get mad over what your friends have to say. If you know you aren't preppy then you aren't preppy. Don't let their words bug you. A person with confidence should never be bothered bout what people say. I don't know if being called preppy is good or bad but I thought people always associate preppy people with popular people? So isnt that a compliment? Haha. ok idk but yea I'll keep that as a compliment and just continue to believe that I'm a sporty person if I were you =D

Honestly speaking, it's hard to define who you really are. Even for me. Because you react differently to different people, am I right? But what I feel, is that you should always have the very same quality in you whenever you meet people. LIke for eg, if you are a humourous person, that humour factor should always be in you no matter who you meet. (For eg You'd try to crack some lame ass jokes even though you're not really that close to this person correct? )

You can ask your friends to help you figure out who you are because they've seen the way you behave and all that. From what they've said, build up on that character and add that to your character list.

1)Ask yourself, what do you wanna be?

2)Eg : I wanna be an athethlic, sporty, good looking, sunshine, healthy girl (I assume you are talking more bout appearance from the way you ask your question.)

3)Work towards that direction. Stay focus.

But make sure you don't try too hard at it. Just relax, and work slowly towards what you want yourself to become.
