Q: I'm so confused!! Alot of guys like me but the thing is I think I'm ugly!! Do guys usually get with ugly girls just for sex? Why do they like me? It dosen't seem right to me!! Help!!

hey now dont be so down on yourself! i bet youre really pretty! guys must like you because of your personality and they cant JUST base it on that so they pay attention to looks at least a little. so youve got to be decent looking! lol. i doubt that all of the guys are just in it for sex. unless you have that reputation? but be more confident in yourself! =D

hope this helps- :)

Q: I am an 18 year old girl who has been with the same boyfriend for 2 years and things haven't been great from the start.Now things are really boring and we do the same things week after week and we have no sex life at all.A couple of months ago I met a guy that works at the local pub and sing with him all the time and we get on really well.He is leaving the job now to free up his weekends and agreed to come out on a night out with me and swapped numbers.Now I can get him out of my head and don't know whether to make a go with my current boyfriend or try and get to know this other guy. What should I do?

try to do some more romantic kinds of things with your current b/f. and just be close friends with the other guy. just go out as friends.

"don't know whether to make a go with my current boyfriend or try and get to know this other guy." why can't you do both? i wouldnt see a problem with that.

hope this helps & good luck- :)

Q: ok well the new school year is coming up and i kind of wanted to 'improve my look' cause last year i didnt really get a lot of guys.. so i was wondering what kind of things i should do to improve my look.. i have brown hair brown eyes.. everyone says i'm not fat but i think i am LOL .. so if anybody has some advice about what i should do to look better.. thanx i rate high! :)

you could get on like a 3 time a week workout program where you do maybe 25 crunches and 15 pushups twice a day for 3 days a week (for example). exercising is a great way to boost confidence and it releases *happy hormones* lol.

you could also try showing of the part of the body that you love about yourself. (example: if you like your legs then show them! by wearing cute skirts)

if you feel sexy, you look sexy =)

hope this helps & good luck!- :)

Q: Ok i have this friend...Kerry. We were unseprable in the beginging of the year,always got each others back. But now...we tottaallyy split apart. She got mean to me..so i went into another group..and told them my experience with her. I hate her..and i never want kerry to be friends with my other friends..because i dont want her in my life and i dont want them to get hurt like me. I like my other group..they really do got my back there nice and i think i'll stay with them forever. I like kerry..kinda..but not when shes around them. and i hate her for what she dose to me and she is a poser. She poses my friends and copys them all the time. I hate her for this..but i feel bad for her i dont no why.
I feel sad around her to...and i bdo not no why.
Should i let her go? Im just so mixed up and i do not no what to do
sorry this is long i will rate to 5's

well if you like her then wouldnt it be good if she was part of your new group. you wouldnt be one on one with her so i would think it to be a good compromise. but if you physically get upset when shes around then you definitely dont want that kind of a friend. friends should make you feel happy and excited when your around them.

since you were friends with her at the beginning of the year, then you know there must be some kind of bond there. if you think there is no bond there anymore, then let the friendship go and try to avoid her.

kerry sounds like shes kinda lonely. if she poses other people then she probably doesnt have a real opinion of herself. she may really need a friend.

think about your true feelings toward her.

sorry i couldnt help more- :)

Q: i feel that when i cook...i get way too excited and i kinda discharge--what is happening to me?

well if your in your teen years, then your hormones are at very high levels. so some strange and odd things may turn you on. do you feel a sensation down there? or are you just like super happy to be cooking? being really happy about a hobby is a good thing. but the sexual thing seems a bit odd to me but whatever floats your boat. =D

Q: hey ok..thers this girl and shes my best friend well we just started being best friend and like she is always telling me i am her best friend and she doesnt tell people that often. but lately she hasnt been puting me in her profile and listing all these other girls under friends. like is she trying to not be my friend or something? because i asked her if she was mad and she is like no. and she asked why i asked and i said just wondering. but really if i tell her why i think that shell think im overreacting because this happened before with some other girl that wasnt really a bff but thought she was...like what should i do im so confused! please help and if your gonna be mean you get a one other than that 5 ratings!

that sounds a little weird that she wouldnt put you in her profile and instead she put other girls. are the other girls better friends of hers? maybe you could try casually asking about something else in her profile and then ask her about that. if you really feel its a true friendship then she wont be weirded out by you asking. she mightve just forgotten about it.

hope this helps & good luck- :)

Q: Whats a good first day of skool outfight exspesicaly if your going to a new skool next year!?

a really cute skirt (not slutty though) with a matching t-shirt followed with cute summer sandals (i love the sandals that come around and tie in the lower shin area). also you can get a hair cut about a week before school starts (that way it has time for fixing just in case).

hope this helps- :)

Q: Im14, and recently my brothers friends have been calling me and asking my brother stuff like how old is ur sis and whats she like and stuff. and i like some of them like i think that they are cute. and my brother has been threatening them and he doesnt have many friends...should i talk to him? or pretend like i dont notice his friends> or what??
thanks.

well would you like your brother dating one of your friends? (i know i wouldnt..) but try meeting guys your own age and i bet your brother will be cool about that. he probably just feels weird that his friends may like you more than they like him.

Q: so i had a pimple in my forehead and i started picking it .... until it eventually bleeded so know its all red/perple ugly and it has a scab any ideas of how i can get rid of it fast ?

put a cold pack on it. then use a medicated cream that kills the germs (that you can get at any grocery store). put that on 2 to 3 times a day and it should get better.

Q: 16/F

Ok. I got a job a little less than a month ago and I dont really understand the whole tax thing. It seems like on my paycheck that they took out almost half in taxes...

When I was filling out my W2 (i think thats it...it was some kind of tax form) I "claimed" 0...should I have claimed 1, myself?- Would this make a difference?
Also, does that ^ have anything to do with my paychecks or just the yearly taxes you do.
Could someone please explain this to me.

And please only answer this if you know what im talking about...i know its a teen advice site, but some people here should be able to help me...

Thanks!

0 means theyll take out the most, 1 means theyll take out less. but you can change it. you'll get a refund though april 15th time no matter what. so youll get more of the refund that annual time if you dont change the 0. if you want more to show up on ur paycheck, then change it to a 1.

hope this helps!- :)

Q: I'm going to the beach for the first time in years. What things should I make sure to bring? (like make-up, how many bathing suits, what bathing suits, and other stuff..)

water-proof makeup (especially mascara), depends on how long ur going but probably 2 or 3 bathing suits, bikninis! because theyre cute on the beach, sunscreen!, chapstick with SPF, tanning oil, lots of towels, beach mats, beach pillow, umbrella, chairs, snacks, cheap flip-flops...

hope this helps- :)
have fun!!

Q: if you have ever seen the ring 2 then in the movie, when the little boy was in the hospital the lady that was talking to him stuck a needle in her neck and killed herself. why did she kill herself????????? was it bcuz the little posessed boy tell her to?? tell me!!!

haha there are different ways to interpret that. i got it that the little boy did posses her too and makes her kill herself. or maybe she just couldnt take the pain of sitting with this crazy patient. or maybe the little boy's spirit told her to like you said.

Q: I'm Eurasian (half Spanish/Portuguese half Chinese) and i LOOOOVE black eyeliner!!! I'm not sure whether I should line both lids or just the top. I like lining because I think it looks better than just the top but my mom thinks I look unfriendly, evil, sallow, like a raccoon (even though I smudge it with a Q-tip and I put it on lightly!) and like I come from a bad family. I'm 14, I have almond-shaped eyes (but I like have the folds over my eyelids), and brown hair. Help!!!! Sorry if this sounds self-centered, but all my friends are away, and I have nobody else to ask!!! sorry that it was so long! :)

try only lining the outer half of your upper lid, but keeping the lining of the lower lid. also, for the lower lid, use a lighter color on the inside half.

Q: How do you cure bad breath? I brush my teeth twice a day, but I still have really bad breath!!!

Thx!!! I rate high

get one of those nifty tounge scrapers. they get rid of the bacteria by scraping it. but make sure to use warm water when you rinse it off after you use it each time.

if you use mints or gum, make sure to get the gum without alcohol because it just makes your breath worse.

hope i helped- :)

Q: Ok, I just started a diet and it's just a regular diet: Lowfat, lowsugar, smaller portions, watching what I'm eating and exercise. Well ever since I started the diet and I haven't really been hungry. And others times when I am hungry and eat, I feel like throwing up. And usually after going to the gym (just a 30 min. cardio workout), I really feel like I'm going to puke, even if I haven't eaten anything. What is wrong with me?!?!

well your body may be used to a lot of fat. and fat is what your body uses mostly for energy! so if your not taking in as much fat, your body may feel low on energy. for more energy, you can eat fats that are good such as avacados or nuts.

your body is going through a period of adjustment and your body's response to it may not be pleasant at first (the nausea). if your body continues this after the first few weeks, maybe you should go back to eating what you were. but keep exercising because it is very good for the body!
