what are some tips for me because ma school is really hot nd humid and then ma hair gets really poofed up and unstraight.. what do i do

Wearing it up in pigtails, braids, pony tail e.t.c might work better until the weather gets a little colder and the school airs out. Or, if you plan to let your hair down just bring a hair thing so that when it starts to poof up you can just pull it back and atleast your pony tail will be straight. Check out hairtips on seventeen.com and you should find useful tips or cute styles!

Ok, about two years ago, I intorduced this girl in my neighborhood to my two best freinds. (who are also in my neighborhood) well the girl totally used me to get to them... so to make a long story short they are best freinds (those three) and I am not even part of it. My best best freind from that group never includes me she won't even say can we invite Jen? (not my real name) So that bothers me... anyway, I saw on one of their away messeges it said out to eat with my loves...m&m meaning these two other girls one in which who used me. I felt a paion of jeliousy... i mean i don't hang out with them that much anymore, but I just hink I am maybe jalious becasue the girl stole them from me... we all go to the same bus stop. and well, the only one I have seen all summer is my best best freind from teh grupo for like three days. Last year they kind of discluded me and now I think maybe they will disclude me even more and belive me, non of them will try to make me not feel that way. I don't know what to do and I would really like someone to help me. If possible, when you answer can you give me your IM adress so I can ask you anything else.. but only if you answered well! Thank you so much!

Definetly, IM me anytime, at x3DryCountyGrlx3 you're going through a really tough time, and rejection hurts. I suffer it almost everyday, it happens in life. As sad as it is, and as painful as change hurts, it seems like it's just time to move on! Don't let your feelings rely on 3 girls who have backstabbed you! It's okay to be friendly but you don't have to be friends anymore! Move on, try hanging out with other people out of that group, and often if you can. Maybe they'll feel jealous or miss you possibly, and make an attempt to grow closer or apologize. At this point it seems it might be too tough and there should be no reason for having friends be tiring! It's supposed to make your life easier to have friends, and it's only making it harder and more painful. Though it's really going to be sad at first, time heals all wounds and give it a little while! Wait patiently and it will start to effect you less and less. I hope you can work things out... don't worry, you're not alone! People do this all the time... it may have nothing to do with anything you did, or maybe it did. But it's just life. Friends come in and out of your life quickly, but real friends just stick there! Good Luck, and you will find those real friends! Trust me these girls aren't worth the agony!

does anyone know where i can get a timeline on things that happened in mariah carey's biography? im doing this report and i just need a guide.

There's probably no timeline, I have found in experience it's hard to find out about people directly. Just hop websites, take little notes, and you might just have order them chronologically.

Heyy. My freind is acting like somthing she's not. She is acting like this popular beautiful person who can gets any guy she wants.... well, it's all a lie and I am fed up with it. See, if I tell her she will get really mad at me and through all these mean come backs back... I don't know what to do. Any one have any ideas??

well, you don't want her getting mad. But a real friend will let you just tell her she's acting a little different lately in a nice way. Don't mention everything you just did. If she keeps acting that way, I guess it's her life style. But remember, it's better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you're not! So stick to that. Beyond that, if she keeps acting all different ignore her sort of for a little while and she'll want to know what's wrong. It'll get her attention.

well i've had this cold for a week it's geting worse. i want to feel better by next week, any help
i will rate high
striperella

Go to a local health store and pick up some medicine for it. All those natural things always fix up colds!! I mean there's no direct cure, but there's these things I get from a health store by me, and they're almost like poprocks, or kinda have the same texture to them. I would tell you the name but I don't know because it's super long, and really wierd, (lol) but... ask and see if you can find that. Also, get plenty of rest when you can!

i found out that the guy i likes likes me back, and i need to know how to be flirty with him but not be like all over him. we are going to homecoming together later this month, but we arent like a "couple"
THANKS!!
i will rate

Giggle when appropriate, just dont overdo it! do cutsie little things like sticking your tongue out at him, playfully pushing him, complimenting him. Stuff like that! It's simple, once you get the knack of it it'll be easy.

okay so me and this guy are "together" he said... people have been asking me if were dating, but i have no clue... like whats the difference from being together, dating, going out and being boyfriend/girlfriend?? he told me theyre all technically the same, so what does he think we are then?!?! (are we bf/gf??)... but im clueless... please help...

Yeah, they are pretty much the same. He sees you as boyfriend-girlfriend, and pretty much there's no confusion to be had. Just go with the flow, and by the way he acts you'll know if your going out and stuff. Which, I totally think you are, but hey, it's your call.

what does this mean?? "the only thing new in the world is the history we do not know?

thanks i'll rate high!

hm. Let's see if I can bust this mystery. lol. I'm pretty good with words. Seems to me it means we have no theoretical way of telling what will happen in the future, we know everything that's going on in the present because we're living it, but being that we weren't actually there, there is some history we don't know of because it was never a written record, or passed down. And it's new, because no one knows of it or about it. Kind of exciting as well! When you think about it maybe there's a huge secret about some event that could drastically change history as we know it, but it's complete behind the scenes, and not known to mankind as of yet. Perhaps we'll never know everything! Tehee. Well, hope this makes sense, it should, I'm just a rambler! OK, good luck now!

okay so when i wake up my eye gets like really weird.. my eyelid looks swollen but its not swollen and i dont have pink eye ..i get this about every morning and it gets so annoying because one eye looks smaller than the other! whats wrong and what do i do?!

oh and this has been happened since this summer but its been on and off

It's hard to tell, not being able to see it, and I'd say ask a parent, school nurse, or go and get it checked out at the doctors. I would hate to try and guess what you have and get you under or over alarmed.

when there are sales from hollister and american eagle.. how much are the sweaters/sweatshirts and shirts for?

This is a very broad category to cover, but I'll try my best! Prices vary, but when you catch sales you do well.

www.ae.com
www.hollisterco.com

Those are the websites if you want to take a look see yourself. The sweatshirts can be anywhere from 10-20 $ at AE on sale, and in Hollister, I don't know as well, but I would imagine it would be $ 15-30 bucks, because some of their prices start higher than AE. But everyone has different shopping experiences, so hopefully you can see what others say, and I definetly recommend the websites.

okay ..

well i have this friend, we've been best friends since we were 6 . but since the beginning of 6th grade, i've known this really sweet girl, she's really funny and she's like my best friend noww .. but my old friend gets like really really jealous of her. she's mean to her for no reason, and makes up stuff about her to tell me so i won't like her as much. i feel bad, but i still hang out with my old best friend almost everyday, and i talk to her a lot and everything .. i just don't know what to do .. without hurting her feelings i guess. she gets mad at me almost everyday, it's just hard to deal with .. and her mom is always really involved with everything, like when we get in a fight and she's calling me stupid and ecotistical and a bunch of other stuff for no reason at all, and i tell her i'm not stupid, she tells her mom i'm being mean to her and her mom calls me . so i donno what to do, she can be really annoying, but i still love her bunches, and my new friend, if you read this, don't say anything, k?

`♥ MiSs C0NFfUSEDd

Well... it's hard to say. Just tell your other friend you still love her to death, but it's really hard to be in a war like this. Explain to her how you've known her for longer and that makes things more important and all that just to make her happy. Tell her if she has problems to just come straight to you and sort out her feelings rather than having her mom call you, or insulting your other friend, and explain how those things make you feel like your drifting further away. Also explain how in order to maintain your friendship, you need to just not be in fights so much because the fights are tearing everyone down. If she doesn't stop, just stop talking to her for a while. Don't ignore her, smile friendly and let her sit near you at lunch or do whatever she wants to do... but just get quiet around her. Try and avoid her if it's possible, and she'll start to miss you and cut out all the drama. Good Luck, this is a really tough situation, but it's just a buncha teenage drama so hold on tight and do what can be done in this crazy world we live in!

One of my teachers is REALLY ugly. He also has a speech problem sort of. I'm in the front row in his class and I know this is sort of rude but whenever I look at him I start to crack up but I turn the other way. I dont know how to prevent this because I know one of these days I'm gonna get into trouble. What can I do to stop laughing??

Just know it's really mean to be doing such a thing, and try and focus on the lesson and get serious. Either that or don't make eye contact with him, don't even look if that's your problem. Worse comes to worse, stare at the floor and think about something else for the time being.

do i like this guy and he asked me out but i said no because he is kinda weird but now i like him but i would be made fun of if i went out with him so hat do i do

Its your life, and it would be your boyfriend! So don't worry about what others think! It's rude to yourself and to him to worry about what others would say. I mean I know subconciously from time to time everyone worries about that, but you ought to just do what makes you happy. Who cares what others think if you have the chance to have a really sweet, caring boyfriend? (or whatever his qualities might be) if you like him... tell him, and apologize for turning him down last time and just start anew.

ok so at my highschool we got a pool and have to go swimming. the problem is i dont feel comfrontable taking off ALL my clothes to wear my bathing suit infront of everyone.. they think just because we are all girls and have the same body parents that it is ok but i personaly dont think that is right.. and another thing is we cant use the "girl problem" to stop us from swimming" but i have NEVER used a tampon and i have heared from my friends that the doctor has told them it is bad for you and can mess up soemthing down there?? what can i do??

p.s

i dont start PE until next term

Well that really stinks! You can't get past what you have to do... I guess you'll have to go swimming. That really stinks too!! But, you'll have to work with the situation at hand. If your uncomfortable in a bathing suit, try shaping up a little bit, if that's the problem. Maybe drop a few pounds, you'll have more self-confidence in bathing suits, and feel motivated about yourself. It's perfectly healthy to use tampons when you swim, and you're going to have to learn some time!! Trust me... tons of people do it. It's perfectly fine, just practice before hand, and if you need help ask someone older or experienced for advice! You have time in advance, so make sure you work on this and don't procrastinate.

I had an boyfriend in 6th grade but he left for Canada. But before he left (like 2 months before) We has a huge physical fight. I talk to him like 3 times a week on MSN and i totaly forgive him. I love hime and he loves me and i'm planning to move to where he is. But the problem is, his absece has made me depressed, i love him so much!! And my school grades have dropped significantly.. is there any way to cure that missing ingredient??

Not completely. I mean, you have to try the best you can and set times from e-mail/phone calls, and times for homework. No you have no control over this situation, and it's a cheerful thing if you can stay in touch, and if you stay close for a while... and keep in touch, one day along the road when you guys are older life will allow you to meet up. Be excited you have someone to write to and maybe send eachother recent pictures. Good Luck!

so theres this girl, we both like eachother and all and theres this dance coming up at our school and were both 15 and shes really like cute things so i was just wondering like alot of cute different ways i could ask her cuz she would really like it thanx

Simple might be better! A cute note, a little gift, something along those lines. After all, it's not realistic to write a song to ask someone to a dance. Or anything drastic for that matter.

how much are like.. american eagle shirts?

All prices range. T-Shirts, usually when they're brand new and not on sale yet, are about anywhere from 15-25 bucks. On sale they'll be really cheap, like 10 bucks, but you might not find your size. Polos are usually 20-35. Sweatshirts are pretty up there, but their sweatshirt sales are the best!!! You can get like 10 bucks or 15 bucks for a sweatshirt after fall, so look out for that!!! Good Luck!!!

I've only had one boyfriend, and i dont know why. Everyone says i have this great personality, and that i'm really pretty, and that of course guys like me but their just to shy to ask me out and stuff. But i dont know what to belive. So, i guess what my question is, is how do you tell if a guy likes you. Because i'm friends with alot of guys, and some act diffrent then others. So, what should i do????

I rate high for non-jackass answers!

~Melissa~

Yeah, there's really no specific way of telling. The girls that get guys quick and fast have relationships that come and go. Your heart will desire a boyfriend after a while, that when the time's right, it's going to feel so good to have oen again! It'll feel new and fun, and you'll be excited all the time for it. The people that have boyfriends every day of their life are missing out, because whether or not they admit, they undergo the same stuff over and over, and they get bored after a while which leads to another break up. You're doing fine, and not all pretty girls get guys right away because half of them go for a piece of slutty ass and that's just degrading!!! There's no way of telling if a guy likes you for sure, because some people are one overflirt 24/7. But, in most cases, lots of flirting, excessive phone calls, caring about your feelings or asking when something's wrong, goes to show a guy is interested in some manner. The time will come for you, even if it's not soon, until then, see the guys you have interest in and try to connect!
