im Kristin. 20 years old. Criminal justice major/psychology minor at Georgia Southern University - let the good times roll =]. i'm really laid back, love talking to people, and having a good time. i get on here when i'm bored so if you have a question, inbox me!

advice

im so upset all my boyfriends friends think they can do what ever they want to me my boyfriend always hits me and i cant tell my parents or the cops my boyfriend said he will hit me till i cant walk anymore please someone give me advice

i dont care what your boyfriend said.. as scared as you are, you HAVE to tell someone. things could get way worse and he could end up hittin you till you cant walk even if you dont tell anyone. you need to tell at least your parents or you can go to the cops if you want a restraining order on him. its serious & you rlly do need to tell someone, even if its hard. good luck!

I'm 13/f and I was talking online with a friend, who he is 17. We have alot in common and stuff, so he asked me out. I was just wondering, what do you think is the maximum age difference? I really like this guy, and if he was my age, I would go out with him without question, but, is this age different ok?
Thanks in advance.

Honestly, it just depends on the guy. I went out with a guy who was 18, and it wasnt that big of a deal because he was a good guy. on the other hand, we barely lasted a few weeks. You kno what the main focus is in a guy's brain when they're that age.. so if you do go out with him, just be rlly careful & dont let him pressure you into anything. look at his past relationships & see how old most of them were & why they ended. if he was being controlling & trying to talk them into doing stuff, its not a good idea to go out with him. if he's gone out with mostly younger ppl like yourself tho, he could just like younger girls because of the whole "maturity level" thing. it could be that he rlly does like you for you, you just never kno so be careful if you do go out with him. if your mom/older sister/any one like that knows him, ask them what they think of him, it could rlly help. good luck!

my digital camera works, itself.
I can take pictures and all that good stuff
but when i go to upload them onto my computer, it just doesn't work.
it goes the camera screen where i can take pictures and just doesn't uplaod them.
I've tried restarting my computer.

It just started doing this.

someone told me blowing into the retreiving and receiving end of the USBcord would help, but I'm not sure & I don't want to mess up anything.

Your port could be overloaded. Mine does that sometimes... usually if that happens a little pop up thingy will come up showin the port settings, and then itll have a little link at the bottom that says something like "RESET". if that happens to you, hit Reset & it should be fine. if not, switch ports, & if it still doesnt work, you can try blowing into the ends of the USB cord. it wont mess it up -- i do it alot. if nothing helps, you might need a new USB cord all together. good luck!

Ok well I'm getting 2 teeth pulled out tomorrow, because they grew in sideways. And it's not like a normal dentist visit, it's kinda a surgery. So they said I had to drink CLEAR LIQUIDS only the whole day. (Clear- not meaning see-through, but like no milk, kinda like a watery substance) All I can think of is Koolaid & Tea.... Can someone else help me think of something? (I need to know tonight, because I am getting the surgery done tomorrow at 6:00 AM)

Gatorade, flavored water, soup, Crystal Light...

well to start things off.. im 15/f

theres this guy that i absolutley adore!(16/m) hes funny, interesting, and down to earth.. well were pretty good friends and i talk to him alot online. the problem is that he just got out of a relationship and still misses that other girl (like ALOT) and i tell him things are gunna turn around and everything. but i really dont think that he thinks of me as anything more than a friend. how can i get him to notice me like that without straight out telling him i like him?

just be his friend for now, even if thats hard to do. he just got out of a relationship, and he's still hurtin, so you gotta respect that. of course hes not gonna see you as more than a friend right now. give the poor guy a break, and just be there for him. once things blow over, he could end up liking you as more than a friend. just dont push the matter too much, it wont help, so just chill for awhile and later on if you still feel the same way, you could tell him or hint to him that you like him. but for now, just give him some space. good luck!

When ever I try to upload a userpic, it's always too big. I keep resizing it and resizing it on paint, and it keeps getting smaller and smaller, and it finally fits when it's too tiny. Does anyone know how do fix this, or another way to upload it? I make sure that i make the pics about the same size as other people's. It really annoys me. Haha.

haha, i did the same thing. i resized like 10 pictures soo many times it was ridiculous. instead just go to photobucket or picturetrail, etc. and upload it there & then use the URL they give you. then you wont have to shrink it to microsize cuz you can upload just about any size picture.

ok, so my BFF eversince kindergarden is VERY popular at her public school.But then in 5th grade i went to a different school and we never really saw eachother but we did keep in touch. I went to a privae school, but now i'm going to her school. I wasent very hugely popular at my other school, buut i had connenctions. So next year is my JR. Year. And i really love my BFF. butt we were hanging out yesterday, aand she was telling me who i have to be, like for ex. "You have to wear a jersy for homecomming"

I mean i am friends with them, but how do i tell her that i am who i am with out her getting the wrong image that i'm not like her. Because were are almost identical in EVERY way.

sounds like she's just trying to help you get 'accepted' by telling you what everyone else does, not that shes rlly trying to control you.. she's just trying to help you fit in easier. just tell her you appreciate the help, but yer gonna try stuff your own way, and maybe even ask her if just the two of you can do something different than everyone else -- but still together. if she's your friend, she wont care that you dont go along with everything she says.

ok so my little brother is 9 years old and he always wants me to play with him. he doesnt understand that im older and have things to do. whenever i try to explain this to him, he gets upset and thinks i dont want to play with him so i feel really guilty. how can i explain to him that im busy a lot and dont really have that much time to play with him?

btw 15/f

you jus have to explain to him that you have alot goin on.. but talk to him and set a time when you two can play together -- then stick to that. its probably hard for him, especially if yall have been close in the past, & if so hes probably just upset because things are different and yall arent together as much. but as long as you get some time in with him, im sure things will be fine!

My school has a strict dresscode
-only collared shirts or sweaters
-only SOLLID color pants or skirts (No jean at all)

Does anyone have some good suggestions on what i can wear?

ha, my old school was the same way. you could look for striped or patterned shirts & sweaters, & some cordouroy pants. if you wanna play up the look anymore, just go for rlly cute accessories & shoes, like boots & dangling silver or beaded earrings. once you play with it awhile you can rlly get some cute outfits together. hope this helps!

Ok well my bestfriend, she was like my bestfriend ever & like now I just feel like shes replacing me with one of her other friends. cause she used to be like a sister to me and now like we barley talk & i tried to talk to her about it & ask her if she was trying to replace me and she even said i dont know. it really hurts and i was like crying for a while trying to think everything over & i just dont know what to do cause i love her shes like my sister & i deffently dont wanna stop being friends with her. I dont know what to do to make her understand cause talking to her wont work? any other sugjestions? =/

thats tough. ive been there. she probably just needs a break from you for a little while. just give her some space & yall can both take some time apart. in the end it could bring yall even closer. just dont try to cling on to her too much because it could drive her away even more. if the friendship does end up not working out anymore, then theres not much you can do. just try to hang out with some other people for a little while, and maybe with time everything will be back to normal. as long as you make sure she knows you love her and love having her as a friend, yall should be ok. hope this helps!

Hiya, I was supposed to come on my period on Monday(24th) and i still havent. I did a pregnancy test and it came out negative. So why havent i come on my period? Im still really worried. I have heard you can be a few days late but can you miss a period comepletely? Any advice would be great.

you're only 4 days late, i wouldnt worry too much. i kno ppl who've had theirs for years, and still end up gettin em even a week late. if you do miss it tho, do another pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant. but dont worry too much, if you do you'll put stress on yourself which could make it even later. hope that helps!

ok well my boyfriend and i have been going out for allmost 4 weeks and i dont get to see him that much cuz i met him at this camp but he calls me everyday. the last time he called was tuesday and i have tried calling him but he hasnt answered. well yesterday i was tlaking to a friend online (he is friends with my boyfriend) and he said that they were tlkaing and he mentioned that he wanted to break up. well they talked last week on monday and i talked to him on the fone after that conversation. I dont know what to do...i tried calling im like everyday every minute but i dont know if hes really not there or avoiding the calls and if and wen i do et a hold of him...what should i say? please help...thanx

well for one thing, dont keep calling too much. youll seem REALLY clingy & that definitely wont help your situation. either he really is away, or he's not quite sure what to do yet so hes avoiding your calls while he debates on what to do. or he's just a jerk and is hoping youll get the picture [hopefully thats not the case!]. all i can say is just wait it out for a couple days and see if he calls you. if he wants to break up, theres not much you can do. but dont keep calling him over and over. if anything just call once more & leave him a voicemail asking him to call you soon. hope this helps! good luck!

ok well a couple of days ago i put on perfectly clean underwear and at the end of the day it looked like i had gotten my period. i havent gotten my period yet so i thought i was starting to get it. so the next day i didnt think i got it, so i put new perfectly clean underwear and it did the same thing. like it had little redish brownish stains on it. so then the next day i still didnt put a pad on and i put perfectly clean underwear and nothing showed up on it or whatever. is this normal? like it was for 2 days that i got those little stains on my underwear now it stopped. is this a sign that im getting my period soon? does it usually do this?

thanks im advance.


p.s.-sorry it was so long

yeah, that could happen. either you're going to get it soon, or you just have a short period. if you dont wanna worry about pads or anything just yet, just wear a panty liner next time that happens. hope i helped!

I got my hair cut about a week ago and its as short as i've ever gotten it... it is up to my chin... i just got 8.5 inches cut off... it is short and has some long layers in it this is the picture i showed my hair dresser that i wanted http://i7.tinypic.com/21aiws3.jpg
the only thing is my hair wont have that peicey look... is there anything i can do to get it that way? i have tried straighting it and putting ALL sorts of products in it... also, does anyone know of any cute hair styles i could do??

thanks sorry its so long!

spray some hair spray onto your fingers and then jus grab some chunks of hair and kinda flip it out & it should work. i got my hair cut sorta like that except a little longer & my stylist did that & it was choppy & piecey looking when she got finished. also you could try Garnier Fructis Wet Look Serum, it does pretty much the same thing if you dont use too much & only use it on certain sections of hair. hope that helps!

I have about 3 light, small scars on my face from acne about 6 months ago. Two are in the same spot, on my cheek, ones on my chin. Is there any scar medication or something you could reccomend that would get rid of these? I hate having to cover them with foundation, I'd rather save that for my pimples, haha. Thank you.

Mederma or Mederma for Kids. its like a cream that helps hide scars. you can get it at any place like CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc... hope this helps!
