hey, well my hair is basically the worst. its dark brown, in between being short and medium length, very wavy, poofy and ugly. because of all that i straighten my hair everyday. yes, very bad i know. well i take a shower every night and let it air dry. i use leave in conditioner and have discovered that my hair works better this way. i also use straightening balm and also have discovered that my hair works better this way. i have a pretty good and expensive straightener. it is fairly new, not evena year old. so thats not the problem. every morning i wake up and re-straighten it beecause i slept on my straightened hair all night. well it looks fine for about the first 1-2 hours of school. then it become greasy and looks bad(especially my side bangs). anyone have any ways to avoid this? cait♥

i think you're putting too many prudicts in your hair, thats why its getting greasy. try just using one, like a frizz creme or something

I'm getting that Abercrombie Kids sweatshirt for my 12 year old, female, 100 pound cousin. And I think I should get her a size Small. Would she fit into that and would it be really tight? Small is the only size left so if she can't fit in it, any other cute sweatshirts like that? Websites please, it doesn't matter what store.

no, it deffinatly won't fit. i'd say like, a large or a meduim, depending on how she wants it to fit.

Okay, I want to wear eyeliner soo bad, but whenever I put it on, it doesn't look right. I never smudge it, it just looks odd when it's on. I can't really describe it but I just don't look good in eyeliner. Is there any techniques to eyeliner and has anyone ever had this same problem? Help.

you're probably not putting it in the right spot. i put it riight above my lower lashes, and it looks goo d like that.

I've had contacts for over 4 years and I'm going to buy another year supply soon. I dont know which brand to get though. The one I have currently, sucks. I need something that stays in a long time and doesn't dry out. I've heard of Acuve Oasis, and I was wondering if anyone has tried it...what do you think of them? Oh and does anyone know any other different kinds of contacts that stay in for a long time and wont dry out? Thanks =)

i use acuvue advance with hydroclear, and they work really good. i never have to use my eyedrops because they never get dry. they're also disposable. i've never tried the oasis, but i saw the commercial and they look pretty good

1 - how do you make your myspace private (or friends only)? I can't figure it out.

2 - what are some sites where I can get good premade layouts for my myspace?

Thank you!

to set your myspace to private, you have to set your age to under 15 or 14. im not sure.
and a really good layout website is createblog.com

Hey, since your my age and i think in my grade (7th) I thought you might be able to help. Sometimes I feel like my friends really like me and others i feel like they think im annoying and stuff. How could I be a better friend that they'll always like? It would help if you could name like some things that i should change about my personality or something.

Thankss

hey
sometimes i feel the same way, but i actually think it's just insecurity, and wondering what people think of you. maybe you're thinking too much of what people are thinking of you when you're around them, and its making you act different.or maybe you're being too clingy? idk, but just be yourself and dont worry about what they think of you. i know its hard sometimes, but it really is better than always trying to please everyone else.

IM SORRY BUT THIS IS REALLY LONG!!! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ANSWER!!!

so theres this guy that likes me. lets call him dorito. dorito has liked this other girl for a while and has asked her about 50 times- all of which she said no. dorito isnt very popular. okay hes not popular. now he likes me. at the beginning of this year i was kind of mean to him. for example he would sit at our lunch table and we had absolutely no room. some people would say okay some of you down that end need to move because we have no room and i would be like cough cough dorito. and i would be like go get some friendsss! one of my friends is the absolute nicest person on earth. if she lends you money ( which she does every day!) she will NOTTT take money that you pay her back with. Anyways she was like thats so mean. Then i realized i was being really mean. Now dorito and I are friends and as i've said he likes me and now i am nice to him. every day he sprints out of health (hes in my class) and quickly buys lunch and gets the seat next to me. Hes always like Hi _________! when he sees me and always trys to walk next to me and stuff. yesterday he wrote on a piece of paper will you go out with me, crumpled it up, and threw it to me in spanish class. i read it and my friend looked over my shoulder at it and was like no way! and wrote it on the paper then threw it back to him. my friend told him that she wrote it though. then hes like so what do you say what do you say everytime he sees me and i just dont answer because i dont want to go out with him i just want to stay his friend but i dont want to hurt his feelings. Today at lunch i came and this time my lunch table knew that he wanted to go out with me and one came up and was like waht would you say if he asked you out. i was like well he kinda already did yesterday. then i just sat down in my usual seat next to him and it got so awkward because everyone at my table was like why dont you? and i was just like making a what is your problem!!! face. then when that nice friend i told you about came back from line everyone else told her what happened. about 5 minutes later she said come and talk with me. so we walked around the lunch room and talked and it was just like are you gunna say yes and stuff and she said she'd talk to him on the bus. someone said when i was gone they asked him what he would do if i said no. he said well it wouldnt be the first time. i feel really bad for him. then i just sat at my other friends table and i think im gunna sit there the rest of the week becaise its way to awkward. later that day we had an assembly and he sat behind me. 2 other guys found out he liked me and they were all like why dont you go out with him. then another friend found out and it was so awkward! then he always looked at me and i dont know. later we had to play silent ball and he sat close to me. If you could please help that would be great!!!

i have a similar problem. theres this kid in my class that's asked me out 3 times this year. i've said no nicely all 3 times. idk its weird. lol so anyway. i think the next time he asks you just be like, i'm sorry but i like someone else. i just want to be friends. hopefully he'll listen.
good luck xO* briana

so theres this girl in my class who used to be my best friend in elementary school. of course im 13 and we're in 7th grade now. so anyways sometimes shes really nice to me and we have a good time together.. but lately shes been hassling me about my clothing? idk probably just becase i dont buy everything from abercrombie. i have some stuff but i have mostly a variety of clothing brands. so today i had this new outfit which was really cute, and she kept giving me this horrible look and asking me questions about it.. and then she was talking about me becuz of my clothes? i have no idea what this girls problem is, but right now i dont know if i should still be her friend or if i should ignore her..

5's for any answers =]

omg, same at my school. everyone is frigging obsessed with abercrombie. its ridiculous. thats kind of how my ex friends were, but they didnt really dump me because of my clothes. they just got really obsessed. anyway, i dont think you should be friends with someone who would talk about you and be mean just because you're not wearing abercrombie. thats retarted. dont ignore her, cause then she'll get all pissy and it might get worse. next time she says something, just be like, wow, abercrombie isnt the only store in the unverse. get over yourself. or somethingn liek that so maybe she'll get the hint that you dont care. if it gets worse, then dont be friends with her.
good luck xo*briana

ps:im in 7th grade too, and it sucks. everyone changes into a bitch. dont feel bad, there is a ton of people like that

I have little red bumps on my legs, I'm pretty sure they're from shaving. Is it because I shave up my leg instead of down?

And how could you get these to go away?

no, you're shaving right. you probably have razor burn. it hurtss. try using a lot of soap or shaving cream so your skin doesnt get irritated.
