My name is Teza.. short for Tereza. I was born in Croatia and I speak more than one language. I'm 22 years old & I completed 2 college degrees in 3 years. My a bachelors is in Business Administration concentration in Human Resources and my Masters degree is also in HR.
I started this advice column about 9years ago and I was so young but it was something that I always loved to do. I am trying to get back to answering questions, at least a few per day. With that said, if you have questions about school, friends, make up, etc., feel free to ask.
Much love, Teza
advice
i want to get a hamster but i am not aware of anything. what kind of cage should i be getting (please give me like a name) how often to i have to clean the cage, how do i clean the cage? what kind of hamster is the least likely to bite? which hamster is the cutest? do i get a dwarf or regual hamster? whats the difference? thx
Aww, I had a hamster. It died though. For the cage it doesn't matter. Just don't get a cage that is all with wires. Make sure it has some plastic so its more comfy. Whatever you like get it. You clean the cage once a week. You usually get good shavings for them. Get ones that smell good. Do not use soap or any cleaning stuff to clean it. Hamsters do not like that and its not good! You can simply clean it with just warm water or just by taking the shaving out and putting new ones. Hamsters dont even bite that much. I got my hammy when she was 5 or 6 weeks old and she did bite but only because she was still a baby and she was afraid. Mine was a dwarf hamster and it was the cutest thing in the world! Lol! There are also teddy bear hamsters but they are bigger. But I think that dwarf hamsters are soo much cuter!! Do not wash your hamster with soap!! The girl who said to must be crazy. You never do that to a lil animal like a hamster. They can die by being wet like that. When I cleaned my hamsters cage I would take a really small soft tooth brush and I would put some water on it and brush her fur. She liked it and you can get her clean like that. But hamsters dont need baths, they clean them selves. Make sure you change their water every 2 days! & Never put a full bowl of food. If you want to keep your hamster healthy get treats! Yes hamsters do have treats lol! I bought my hamster these little fruit and veggies and seeds. I gave it to her once in a while and it was healthy for her. They also love attention. They play more at night then during the day. Get some toys for it. Like a ball and little peaces of wood that it can chew on. It made their teeth sharper and my hamster liked it lots! Take good care of your hamster!
My hamster died of age though.
i was going out with my boyfriend all summer and i dumped him today, i wanted too but i still like him and i kinda regret it what should i do and how can i handle this?
Sorry this has taken me a while to answer!
If you still have feelings for him maybe you should talk to him and tell him. find out if he still has feelings for you though. Sometimes after people break up they still have those feelings for their ex so if you tell him you never know if he feels the same. You guys might even get back together! Tell him you regret breaking up with him and everything. Good luck babe!
I keep getting worried that my boyfriend is cheating on me. We've only been going out for 2 weeks, but i haven't seen him since the day he asked me out..and that's cause he went away to florida, then came home for one day, then went away again to jersey. He used to call me all the time now everyday hes always out and he never calls me back, but i always get in touch with him and last night he was acting all weird. I'm really worried cause i like him a lot, do you have any thing i can do? or any advice on how i can talk to him about how i think hes cheating on me and how i feel? Cause i've tried it before and i just can't get the right words out..thanks so much
Aw babe, I don't think you should worry about this! You've only been going out for 2 weeks and it doesn't seem like he is cheating on you. Like you said he is always out and that means he doesn't have much time for the phone. At least you get in touch with him sometimes. Just wait until things get back to normal. You can also talk to him about it and if he didn't like you he wouldn't of asked you out. Just don't worry so much about it. Be confident. If you notice something are starting to change seriously, then you can start to suspect something. But for now I dont think anything is going on behind your back!
Sorry this took me a while to answer.
i like this guy sooo much!! and he is such an a-hole to me and he just doesnt understand how much i like him and i cal him so much but ive stopped for the last week.. and he hasnt called ! wat do i do to not make me seem desperate but get him to notice me at the same time?!?!
Well, to tell you the truth when guys do that and ignore you they dont like you in that way. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but thats just how it usually is. But just calm down. He might think that you are annoying because you always call. It's good that you dont as much. So just talk to him at school and stuff. I know it sucks that he isnt giving you that attention but dont worry about it. You'll be fine.
do you think it would be awkward to ask a boy that i barly know to a dance, its a totally causal dance, but its backwards, meaning girls ask guys, and i have a total crush on this guy but i sereiously barly know him
You should start talking to him more and more before you ask him so he knows who you are. Then I think it will be fine.
My boyfriend wants to have sex. I think I love him, but I just don't feel ready yet. How can I tell him and not lose him?
Just tell him you aren't ready. If he truely loves you he would accept that. If he breaks up with you then he is def. not worth it babe. It's better to do it when you are truely in love and when you are ready. Don't make a mistake. But just tell him how you feel about it. I think he will understand though! Good luck babe!
soo i really like this guy, but i barly even know him, its like maybe weve talked 4 times and i feel like im in love with him..like how can i feel so strongly about someone i barly know?
Its just that there is a lot of connection there. Ahh, I know how you feel. Gosh! I've been there! It's just one of those odd things that you can't fugure out. You should def. start talking to him more. You're probablly atracted to his personalitty and everything. Aww!! Get to know him better and I`m sure he will start liking you too!
i'm 14/f, and i need new sneakers. can anyone recommend me any brand of sneakers(not nike because EVERYONE has them) or any kind of sneakers that they think is really good and looks really nice?
Pumas!!! I absolutley love them! Lol I have 3 pairs but they have all styles and super cute. Also New Balance are awesome!!
Do you think it is okay for a young person to have plastic surgery? I really don't like my nose but I don't know if I should say something to my mom now or just wait until I'm older. What do you guys think?
I think you should talk to your mom about it right now. But I also think that you should at least wait until you are 18. It's fine then. Only get it if you really need to. ♥

Okay i'm 15 f and I have been going out with this guy (braiden 15m) on and off for about 3 years, and i really like him alot, but recently school started and there were alot of my old friends and peers that got really hot, and last night i was talking to one(kile 14m) on the phone and we were talking about our days and he was like i only saw like 3 hot chicks and i was like one is me cause i'm soo damn cute and he was like well yeah... and i was like Braiden is your bestfriend and he was like well the rest of his friends LIKE you too and i was like wtf do you mean and he was like nevermind... and I'm really confused because i really like braiden, but I also kinda like kile and i dont know what to do... Sorry so long, i rate high...
My opinion is to stay with Braiden. You seem to really like him and 3 years is a long time! You just seem to have a crush on Kile though. If I were you, I would just flirt with Kile and see if your feelings for him would grow more and more. Don't break up with your boyfriend because you might regret it. Right now you aren't even sure if Kile likes you or maybe he does well I kinda got lost there but anyways..sorry lol. Just stay with him and see if your feelings change. You dont want to loose something good for something that might not work out. I`m sure everything will be okay though! Good luck babe!

Whats a Climax!? i heard it on R. kellys in the closet part 4! i want to ls!! i have no idea! plz help! i rate high!
ThaNks!
I`m not really sure. Sorry.. the only climax I know is the ones we study in Lit. class.
whats the youngest age to start masturbating? like is 10 wayyyyyyy to young? or is 13 way too young? is it normal to start when you're 8? i have no idea. just please tell me an age that would be okay to start at and what age it way too young and whatever else.. thanks =)
I think starting at 8 is way too young. Most kids dont even know what it is. Nether do most 10 year olds. I think 13 is the right time to start if you want to. I mean its pretty normal for all teenagers.
okay well ill just make this short for you i just wanna look hot! and i have a very good reason but then i mite run out of room lol well plz help me just on stuff like makeup, clothes, the way i act, hair, etc.
**THX**
Well, whats your style? Like what kind of clothes do you like to wear and what are you into? If I knew that it would be easier. Lol anyways, I love these questions. You can look "hot" in many many ways! It's easier for us girls. Lol Okay well, start by clothes. Find whatever you are into and always try to match unique peaces together. Like if you are wearing jeans or a denim skirt and a cute top, add some hot accesories! Things that would make it more outstanding like matching the belt, purse and shoes together. Gold, silver, green, basiclly any of those kind of colors. Now, when you do make up don't ever match it with your outfit. It's just too much and sometimes it doesn't look too good. Gold, purples, greens, silvers, browns and any light and creamy eyeshadows look gorgeous on any eye! To make your eyes pop just apply mascara. The one I use is Lancome Paris and it works really good but any mascara is fine. If you use foundation, get a shade darker then your natrual skin color. After applying foundation put powder over it so it all blends together and it wont make your face look fake and gross from the foundation. Wear some lip gloss and your make up will look perfect! Hair.. don't always have the same hair style. Change it maybe 3 times a week or something. Have it straight, curly, half way up.. just anything you like. It will just look way cute if you always have something different. I dont think you need to change the way you act because thats just changing who you are. You dont have to act different to be hot or to please someone and you should know that. All you can do is just be very outgoing and nice to everyone. Hope that helped. =D
ok wut weight would a average 12 yr old 5'2 girl be?
110-125 ♥
how do you ask a guy to a dance? like i want to ask this guy who i met last year, but we havent even talked this year, but i think i really like him and i want to ask him, im just afarid of rejection.HELP!
You need to start talking to him. Just say hi to him whenever you get the chance to. Everyone is afraid of rejection but you have to learn to get over it. It's no big deal. It happens to everyone. Just ask him heyy, wanna go to the dance together? Be confident and when he sees that in you he would def. want to go.
Well there is this guy...we have been good friends for i while...he is 15 and i am 13...we already went out once before but i broke up w/ him because he was a sex freak lol and now we like each other but i dont want to have sex w/ him because i think im too young but he is soo effing sweet! but also i dont know if my rents would approve of us goin out either so i just kept it on the down low the 1st time but i dont want to keep lyin about it... i like him but i dont and i just dont know what to do!
You don't have to lie about it but just see how things work out. You don't have to have sex with him but at his age a lot of guys want to. If he asks you to just say no and if he can't accept that then it would be good if you guys stay friends. If things do work out between you just talk to your mom first and tell her that you really like this guy and that if they met him that they would know thats hes really swett. Good luck!
