Tonite I am going to the movies to see the one movie, Hitch. And I'm really excited because the guy that I really really really like may be going too. I have to call him later and I freak out everytime time I call him so I make the biggest ass out of myself and it's embarrassing. Do you have any suggestions to tell me that may calm me down? Also, What should I talk to him about tonite at the movies? Thanks!

Practice what to say before you call him in the mirror. That way, you'll have an idea of what to say and you won't blank out. Tonight, just ask him about school and what kind of movies he likes, that sort of thing. Pretend that he's just a friend. Thanks for sending me the question! Send me something else if you need more advice. ♥ Kristen

hi im 14 and i got my period in august and i only got it once and i hadnt had it since..august! i know im not pregnant! do i have cancer or an infection?? someone help me!

When you first start, it's going to be irregular. Don't worry about it. If you're still worried, ask your doctor about it. If you need anything else, just send me something! ♥ Kristen

There's this guy at my school that I really like,and I think he might like me, but he's really shy and we don't ever talk. But I was thinking of getting him a little something for Valentine's Day, just kind of like a secret admirer. Is that a good idea? What should I get? What should I write on it, and how should I go about getting it to him? Thanks for your help!

That would be cute! Just get him some chocolates or something like that. Just write "Happy Valentine's Day!! From, your secret admirer" To give it to him, leave it a place you know he's going to find it, such as his desk, locker.. good luck! tell me what happens! xo Kristen

Okay, tomorrow we are having a Valentine's dance. There is this guy I really like, and he is going. Both of us are single, and he talks to me regularly. But tomorrow at the dance, I want to look good. I have no clue what to wear, or how to do my makeup. Im not real big on skirts, and I want to be comfortable.

Also, I have kind of pale skin, and REALLY light brown hair w/ highlights. Any ideas? Thank you!


And do any of you have any tips on dancing?

hey i have a dance tomorrow too! and i'm in the exact same situation! weird...
anyways. Try just a nice pair of jeans and a comfortable shirt. Try red or pink, especially because its a Valentine's dance. For your makeup, do something sparkly. Don't overdo it, just some on your eyelids, and a little on the outside corners of your eyes. Also put on some clear shiny lipgloss. For your hair, do something completely opposite than you usually do. As for dancing, just move your body to the beat and watch what others are doing. It'll help give you ideas.
If you need anything else, just send me a message or IM me! ♥Kristen

i am in 8th grade. and i am not doing VERy good in school. on my report card i got 2 F's! my mom is taking my phone, comp. after school act. away from me if i dnt get that up! what should i do??!!!

You should use any free time to study. Try and stay after school for extra help, and ask friends to help you. Maybe make an appointment with your guidance counselor to find out information on study/homework help programs in your school. Hope I helped! Send me a message if you need anything else ♥Kristen

i have the abilty to get good grades and i already know that. the problem is that i can't seem to always do my homework and focus on my classwork. i need ways to help me focus and do my homework right when i get home.

I have a hard time settling down and doing my homework too. I have a couple ideas that I'm going to try: Go into a room with nothing to distract you. No radio, no TV, no computer. Or just think..Isn't it going to be great that you can get all your work done and just relax for the rest of the night? Try to get into a positive mindset. I hope I helped! If you need anything else, feel free to send me something. ♥Kristen

My dog just died today and I'm soooo sad! =( She didn't suffer, thank god, but I just can't get over it. She was the greatest dog, and I love her so much. What can I do to feel better?
Thanks

I'm so sorry! i went though a pet's death last year, and it's really hard. Try writing down your feelings. It helped me. Just surround yourself with good people that you're willing to talk to. If you need anything else, just send me a message! ♥Kristen

15/f I get really chapped lips, but they don't crack or anything, they just get sore and red and sometimes itchy. They flake too. So anyway, I've tried loads of different chapsticks and stuff, even blisteze which is a really good medical thing to use. It's really annoying me cuz I can't wear lip gloss or anything, plus they itch and I get red bits around my lips too. Does anybody know what's up with them?

try normal vaseline and burt's bee's wax!! they both work for me.

13-F! Tommorrow there's a dance at my town, I'm thinking of goin and need some help. How can I do my make-up? How can I do my hair?(A few inches below my sholder.) And what to wear? I'm thinking jeans and a white tee or tanktop. By the way* My crush is going to be there and were both single and how can I get him to know I want him?

I think jeans and a white tee would be cute! For your makeup, you could do silver(Jane has a really good silver)or white, or sparkles. Put on some black eyeliner and clear gloss. For your hair, curl it or straighten it. Do something completely different from what you would normally do with it. And for your crush, just walk up to him and start up a conversation. You could even ask him if he wants to dance. If you need anything else, or if you change your outfit, let me know and I'll help you! ♥Kristen

what is a good way to ask a heavy metal guy to a prom?! and when should i ask him cuz our prom is in may.

Just ask him the same way you would ask someone else. He's not a different person, he's just into different stuff.

i am fat, not to just myself but other ppl have clled me fat. any way ive tried diets and excersize, nothing works! i need to become anorexic. i just cant stop eating the foods i like! any ppl have some advice besides pills for me to stop eating? thanks appriciate it.

You just have to set goals for yourself. Write down exactly what you want to do. Have someone hide the junk food so that you don't see it. Go to the gym, go on a walk, dance around your room, do crunches! You could even consider talking to your doctor about a sensible plan to follow. Do not become anorexic though! In the end you end up gaining weight. You're not getting all the nutrients you need, and you could really hurt your body. Send me a message if you need anything else, I'll respond! ♥ Kristen

sorry it's long...
okay. i'm depressed. yesterday was the worst day ever. it was two of my sisters birthdays. my youngest sister passed away before she saw her first birthday. my older sister... well she was like drinking all the time and sneaking out of the house al the time and sleeping around. well she moved down to my dads and upset the whole family. yesterday just reminded me of all the bad things that happened and i was really cranky. i yelled at my b/f and best friend and now i feel really guilty. how can i make it up to them when i'm so upset?

just explain it to them. just say it was a bad day. if you want to explain why, you can. but if you don't want to, just say that it's not something you want to talk about right now. they're your friends; they should understand. good luck, and if you need anything else, just send me something. ♥ Kristen

I've been dating my boyfriend for about 9 months now, we're in love, yadda, yadda, yadda. I've had this frind for about a year and a half and he's gay. He has a boyfriend and all that stuff but for some reason, my boyfriend is jealous of him! I spend alot of time with him, we go shopping once a week, all the typical things you'd do with one of your girlfriends or your gay friend. I've asked him before why he's jealous of him and he'd always say "I'M NOT JEALOUS!!" He gets in such a pissy mood when I tell him that me and Frank (the gay one) are going shopping. I don't know what to do about it! Can anyone help? His attitude is really getting on my nerves!

i think he is jealous maybe because he wants to hang out with you more. invite him on a shopping trip, or just try to get your boyfriend to know Framk better. good luck! send me a message if you need anything else! ♥Kristen

I've just started gym class, & she said we're NOT allowed piercings what so ever, even ear. & your not allowed to cover it up or anything. i have 2 of my piercings in my cartilidge, i can take my other ones in my lobe out but not my cartilidge because it'll close and i won't be able to get it back in anyways. I start it tomorrow. and i really duno what to do. I dont want to take them out because I don't want to have to get them repierced. My mom said thats really stupid & she said I won't have to take them out. What should I do?

at my school, you have to cover them with tape! it's so stupid. anyway, have your mom write a note saying you just got the piercing and you can not take it off. good luck! if you need anything else, send me something! ♥Kristen

I brush my teeth but I feel I need to do it more often. Like, I always brush them before school, but at night..I'm always "too tired" so I refuse to brush. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can stop refusing to brush? Thank you*

think about all the nasty stuff that's gonna be sitting in your mouth all night. or just brush your teeth about half an hour before you go to bed, before you're in your pjs because after that, you feel all ready and tired. good luck! ♥

i KNOW everyone always asks about weight loos plans and everything...so now its my turn to ask..hehehe. anyways im 15/f, 5'8 and a half and weigh 155, i want to get to 140. any advice?
thanks so much

Don't eat junk food, exercise, and drink lots of water! Also, try not to eat after 5 or 6. After that time, it's hard to burn off what you ate, and then it justs sits in your body. If you need anything else, just send me something!! ♥ Kristen
