Hi, my names Melanie.
I'm fifteen years old.
I love fashion, hanging out with my friends,
and drawing and writing along with a bunch of other stuff.
I used to have an old account here that was quite known for awhile,
but I sort of just lost touch with it,
so I decided to make a new one.
I'll try and help you the best I can,
just hopefully I didn't lose touch with my good advice, haha.
And feel free to IM me with your problem too.
I also put my myspace in a link down below,
if you ever want to add me & talk.
But incase you don't see it or something, it's:

Okay so my period is like 6 days late and i have been sexually active. Do you think that it is possible i am pregnate? and if so when should i take the pregnacy test? (link)
You could possibly be pregnant, but I wouldn't worry just yet. Sometimes periods can be irregular and come at different times, so it might just might be being irregular.

Here's a site listing the symptoms of an early pregnancay:

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/gettingpregnant/earlypregnancysymptoms.html

So check them out and see if you have any of them.

For the pregnancy test, I researched that on Google, and I found this:

"There are early prediction home pregnancy tests available that claim to detect pregnancy as early as 6 days past ovulation. But in spite of their claims, most are not sensitive enough to guarantee you an accurate result at this point. By 14 days after fertilization (about the time you would expect your period), most home pregnancy tests may be able to detect the hormone in your urine and give you a positive result. In fact, you're much more likely to get an accurate result if you wait until a week after your expected period before testing."

So wait around a week after your expected period and then check and see if you are. Also, buy a couple just to make sure whatever results you get, they all are the same.

I hope I helped.


well i did get my period today which is 10/30/06 i hate it. now my friend who is going to be the last of my gang wants her period what could i say to her that would make her understand that having a period is not everything. please i dont know what to tell her about it except that it is a pain in the ass. help. oh when you first start your period when you stop bleeding the blood in the pad can be red one sec then brown the next? also i think i stopped menstruating is it ok if you only mentruate for one day though this is my first period. im scared!!!!!!! help im desperate. (link)
Whenever your bloods red one second and brown the next, it's probably just drying. Also, whenever a girl starts her period, it's always going to be strange and out of balance. Sometimes you'll have it for the whole week, sometimes 4 days, sometimes 1. It'll even be irregular after you've had it for awhile, like mine right now, I've had my period since the seventh or eigth grade, I believe, and I haven't had it for like.. a month or two, now.

The next time your friend mentions it, just jokingly be like,"Haha, noooo you don't! It's horrible, haha. You get stomach aches all the time, and I really don't think you'd enjoy bleeding all day, would you, haha?" And just joke around with her about it. It's normal for girls to want to get their period even though it sucks. She probably just feels out of place because all the other girls are "growing up" and she's not.

I hope I helped.


okay my room is pink.. everything is pink.. i have a walk in closet, two circle chairs [ pink], a little white table in between them, a twin bed [pink],two laterns [pink&white], a desk with a computer, a storage unit, and a tv on a black tv stand.. basically everything matched so i was just wondering if anybody can help me figure out how to reorganize my room i always just throw everything in random boxes all over my room and i need help to keep it clean and im very creative.. im into poetry,drawing,fashion designing,& photography but i want to show that in my room by making my room into my own studio and a place to hang out can anyone help??? please (link)
Hm, well, for your chairs, maybe you can place one in one corner, and another chair in the other corner so they're spread out some and people can sit around in other parts of the room, if they want. ( And I do this with my chair in my corner of the room ), maybe you could purchase a bulliten board, and hang it next to your chair, and just take all your fashion drawings and regular drawings and pin them all over it in a neat order ( maybe even have two bullitens there ; one for each ) so as people sit, it looks decorative, and it's something you can review to see if you've already drawn it, etc.

OR I don't know what your walk in closet looks like, but if you have any open wall in there, maybe you could make a fashion collage of all your drawings and everything so whenever you're getting ready in the morning, you can look at pictures and see what outfits you could put together and see what colors look good together and everything.

Maybe in your storage unit, you could purchase a photo album and keep all your photography in there so it's in a very neat order and you'll know instantly where to find it. Also, if you have another storage unit, you can keep your writings and poetry all down there too.

If you want to make your room more hang out ish, I don't know if you could or if you even have the room for it, but maybe purchase a sofa or a couch or something so your friends can hang out and relax on it. Then you could take your white table and put it infront of it ( depending if it's a low table or not, I'm not sure and how big it is and everything ).

But before you do any of this stuff, you need to just go through all your draers, your closet, everything in your room and whatever you don't want, throw it in a garbage bag, whatever you don't want but you think you could sell ( might as well earn some cash ) but it maybe in a bin so you can tell the two apart.

I hope I helped.


I have a friend (15/f) who is currently going out with "Jim." Though we've grown apart the past year, I'm pretty sure she never even thought of him that way until he asked her out. A week ago she said she was ready to end it, because he had been teasing her too much and taking her away from her friends. She said she was going to wait until this weekend, because there was a big sweet sixteen party and they were going together. The party was last Saturday, and they are still together. I don't have a problem with this, except that I don't know that he's stopped teasing her.
What should I do, if anything? I mean he isn't physically hurting her or anything, and she said he's "gotten better." She also realized that last weekend was their one-month, and didn't want to end it then. I'm afraid next weekend it will be another excuse! I know its possible he is better, and she does like him.. but if it's not, what do i do?? Should I do anything? (link)
I would just let your friend continue in this relationship. Even though your words of advice may possibly help her, she's the one who has to decide when to end it, if she even wants to end it, and she's the one who has to decide if she wants to listen to your advice at all in the first place or not.

Whenever you're talking to her, just ask her how the relationships going, and if she tells you he's still continously teasing her, then offer her some advice and just let her know that if he's insulting her like this, maybe she should think about breaking it off. Is she happy? She shouldn't take someone if she's not happy in the relationship.

I think her boyfriend has possibly gotten better. It sounds like it to me, if you haven't heard anything lately about him teasing her or anything. :)

I hope I helped.


i don't really eat that much food but i'm gaining weight like crazy and am now like 25 lbs over weight. i play sports like softball, and ultimate frisbee i get swamped with school work easily and i have a huge paper that i have to work on almost constanly. i ahve a gym membership but i almost never have the time to get to the gym. what can i do to stop this. try to eat as healthily as possible and i even tried eating only fruits and veggitables for like a month but nothing seems to work. what can i do. i feel ugly all the time because of this. (link)
Every person has a certain weight and a certain body type. Some people always try to lose weight, and they find they can't, and it's because that's just their body type and how much it weighs. Like me ; I can never seem to go higher than 111 lbs. I mean, I don't WANT to go higher than that, but I eat junk food constantly, and it's only because I have such a fast metabolism, I can shed pounds quickly, so I'm usually always weighing 111 lbs, it's just the way my body is. Also, if you're playing all those sports in school, you're probably developing some pretty good muscles, which'll add some weight onto you.

Also, you say you're swamped with school work and have a huge paper that you have to work on, this which I'm sure is giving you major stress, right? This also effects your weight. If you have a high metabolism usually, stress can slow it down, which means it takes longer to break down your food, and it may cause you to gain weight. Also, if you're stressed you may be eating some more than you usually do. Stress just, in many ways can make people gain some weight.

Just try to become more organized with your paper work and everything and give yourself a break to eat healthy foods, and work on your school work, and then give yourself another break to maybe exercise at home. Do some crunches, run up and down the stairs a couple of times, jog in place, whatever you want to do, and then go back to the paper. If you're just more organized, you'll be less stressed for one, which is good for your weight then, and just for you.

With sports, it's okay to gain weight. All athletic girls gain weight, and you shouldn't feel ugly. Just think ; in 20 years whenever all the lazy procrastinators who eat at McDonalds all the time are getting heart attacks and weigh 5903 lbs, you're going to have a very fit, healthy body just like you should have.

I hope I helped.


Yesterday i was texting my boyfriend of 1 month like i usually do and he texted back ( dont hate but can we just be friends) now im usualy not the type to get to attached after only a month but i felt my heart skip a beat and i felt like i couldnt breathe its crazy i kno but hes a senior and i am a freshman and we really liked each other so wut i need help with is how to get him back.. hes guna be 18 on thursday and i think hes scared of that being together whens hes an adult plz help! wut should i do! (link)
Well first of all, ask him why he broke up with you and get that out of the way. I know it's not what you want to hear, but it possibly might not be because he's scared of being together when he's an adult, but you never know.

If that is the reason, let him know that it doesn't matter, and neither of you are going to get in trouble or anything for being together ( it's only illegal to have sex with a minor, if you two aren't having sex, it's fine ).

Even if that's not the answer, just let him know that ( whatever it is ) you'll work on it because you really like him and you really want to be with him.

But if it's something like, he wants to just date other people or something, then I wouldn't try anymore to get back with him. Obviously that guy wants his space, and you should give it to him, because chasing after him after he dumped you, isn't going to make him want to take you back. Also, it's going to just give you more hurt to deal with, and you shouldn't do that to yourself. So just keep talking to him, share jokes with him and everything, and show him what the great girlfriend he's missing out on now. Hopefully he'll smarten up after awhile and want to come back to you.

I hope I helped.


14/F.

I'm confused, does he like me or not?
Please, be completely honest. I want to know if I should continue to like him, or move on.

*Whenever I would see him, he'd give me these huge smiles & stare at me.
* I think he would take pictures of my ass? well, atleast, when he was walking behind me with his cell phone, I heard somrthing clicking. Like the sound that a camera phone makes.
*He'd show me how strong he is, or how tall he is.
*He'd take a bunch of random pictures of me.
*He'd lay on my bed & just smile and stare at me.. aha?
*He'd throw rubberbands at me.
& a bunch of other stuff.

[By the way, that was all in ONE night. Except for the first one.. he always does that]

So, what do you think? Is that the signs of a boy liking you? I'd tell him, but I have NO clue when I'll see him again, we don't go to the same schools. [I go to catholic, he goes to public] What do I do? He lives close to me...

Majorrrr thanks, in adavance. (link)
It definetely sounds to me like he's digging you!

Since you two live close togehter, even though you don't go to the same schools, that doesn't mean you guys can't out alot together after school and on the weekends and talk over the phone.

Start flirting with him more, and if you already are, up the anty a bit with him to show him slightly obvious signs of interest ( usually guys don't pick up on signs anyways so it's not like you'd be all over him ) and just keep making direct eye contact, smile at him alot and sit close to him and maybe even if you guys are hanging out, watching tv sometime, sit close to him and put your head on his shoulder. :)

I hope I helped.


i really really like this but she has a boyfriend. we're kinda friends, but not best friends. i really want to go out with her but i dont want to mess up her relationship because i care about her that much. i dont know what to do tell her? or don't and how do i live with this....? (link)
I wouldn't tell her just yet. Telling her now might harm the friendship you two have right now, and you want that at least going for you if you can't date her, right? Also, this might make the boyfriend overprotective and jealous and just might create unwanted drama for everybody.

I would just continue being her friend and being there for her, and maybe show signs of you liking her every now and then ( so you don't have to keep all your feelings so bottled up inside ) like pay her compliments and be sweet and funny to her and everything, but just subtle messages, nothing like "YOU ARE THE GODESS OF MY LIFE, MY LOVE. BEAR MY CHILDREN", lol.

Anyways.

Then sooner or later, as most teenage relationships do, theirs may come to and end, and be there for her, comfort her, try and cheer her up and everything and once she's over him, let her know how you feel and everything.

Even if it doesn't, as time progresses on and you're near the end of the year going off into summmer, maybe tell her then. Write it in her yearbook, tell her over the phone, however you want to do it. I just know you need to tell her at some point, because you never know what her feelings could be for you, even if she does have a boyfriend. I just wouldn't do it so early in the year, cause like I said, that'd be a whole school year of drama and jealousy possibly and whatnot.

So hang out with her, share jokes, compliment her, show her the great guy you are, and someday whenever you feel fully ready to tell her ; do it. Just be honest with her and see what happens from there. If she does like you back, great! If she doesn't, just know it's her loss.

I hope I helped.


There's this guy called Justin who's in my English, History and Games lessons. And I always knew he liked me, and before the holidays he asked me out. And I have no idea why I said yes because he just isn't the right person for me at all. In fact for the whole 6 weeks we were going out I didn't meet up with him once. I must have had ONE conversation during the whole thing. I wasn't attracted to him in the slightest. And in the end after putting it off for a while, I dumped him. I don't speak to him as much anymore.
But about a week after we broke up, I got told he was in LOVE with me, and that he had bought me a present - a sliver necklace, I've found out since. He asked a friend of mine to give it me, but he refused and told him he was becoming minorly stalkerish and had to sort himself out. He left notes for me on my Bebo and messages for me on his MSN screen name and talked to people about me and it started to freak me out. He asked me to the prom as well. He would txt me and email me - one said that he'd always have hope for us, and that he hoped he would marry me. I just ignored it all, and after about a month he seemed to get the hint and he stopped.
Now he's made up a girlfriend to try and make me jealous. He's created a profile for her on bebo, and 'she' emails me talking about him. I'd stopped feeling guilty by this time, and think he's just immature and so on.
Except he just signed online, and his screen name was saying that he should have never asked me out. And I know it was all my fault and I feel guilty as hell, but he just doesn't seem to give up. What can I do!? (link)
I would have a serious talk with him about this, because that's the only way you can ever try and get him to understand and stop, hopefully.

Just IM him and be like,"I need to talk to you. I know it was all my fault and I feel guilty and everything, but posting all these screenames saying you never should've dated me and having your girlfriend or whatever constantly emailing me about you isn't helping anything. I don't know if you're trying to make me mad, or make me want to go back out with you, but I'm sorry, it's not going to work either way. Would you have wanted me to keep the relationship going, get you more emotionally involved, and then have you more hurt in the end? I didn't want to "pity date" you, and I didn't want to lie to you. I mean I do feel horrible for hurting your feelings, but like I said, I'd feel even worse letting everything drag on as some lie." ( Or something like that ).

And just let him know everything you're feeling, but remember to be considerate of his feelings and don't say anything to rash or hurtful, you know? Just explain to him that you know he loved/loves you and everything, but doing all this isn't going to help him in any way. It's only going to drive you further away. You'd really like to be friends with him, but the chances of that happening are starting to slim if all this trying to make you jealous and everything is going to keep continuing.

And if he really does love you like he seems to, he'll want to be your friend because it's better to have someone in your life at least as a friend then nothing at all, right? And hopefully over time, he'll start to be more and more of a friend to you, and sooner or later, he'll slowly start to think of you less as a "lover" and more as a friend, and he'll move on.



I hope I helped.


Ok, i really like this guy and i think if i asked him out he would say yes, but the thing is my friend is acting like a complete b**** because she is flirting with him, and bothering me on prupose. She is ugh! And i just found out 3 other girls like him. What should i do? (link)
If you think if you were to ask him out, and he'd say yes, what's stop you?! Go for it and ask him out already and beat those other girls to it! Then they'll definetely know that he's yours, and there's nothing they can do about it now, try as hard as they might.

Because believe me, there's going to be 390493 girls who like the same guy, and of course there's going to be the competitive vibe. But if you two are going out, there's nothing to worry about. Obviously he likes you the best and he wants to date you, otherwise he could've chosen one of the other girls.

If they do get mad at you, just be like,"Hey, it's not my fault you guys didn't go for him first. You'd be saying the same thing as I would be right now if you were in my shoes, so don't get testy."

I hope I helped.


Why is it that guys like lips, mainly pouty lips, so much? My boyfriend told me "pouty lips are sexy" (he told me I had pouty lips). I asked him why he thought they're sexy. He said, "I don't know, they're just a major facial feature"

Thank you :] (link)
Pouty lips sort of give off that sexy vibe to people, and obviously what does a guy want? A sexy girl. It's sort of like the whole Angelina Jolie lips thing. Everyone for some reason just loves her lips. Pouty lips kind of just look.. "full" I guess you'd say whereas compared to some women they may have thin lips which obviously aren't that sexy looking to some people. It's just something that people'd instantly notice if they were to look at the face and be like,"Wow, her lips are so full looking and pouty."

It's sort of like, why girls may like when guys have a goatee or a 5 o' clock shadow, it's just the look of it. It makes them look rugged & sexy.

I hope I helped.


what does it mean to be physically ready to have sex? (link)
To be physically ready is whenever your body just.. feels like it's ready. Sometimes whenever people try to have sex, a girl's mind could be saying "I want to!" but the body feels like it's resisting. Also, some people might take it as physically ready as to when the girl's through with puberty and everything, and they're developed, etc. So it's just whenever your body feels like it wants to have sex, and your emotions tell you you're ready too.

I hope I helped.


First of all, PLEASE answer this question if you're reading it because most columnists are probably trick-or-treating.

Anyways, my friends were planning on trick-or-treating at 6. It's 6:45 now. I said I'd be late because I get off work at 6, and I don't have a costume yet.

So when I got off work, I called my friends. They said they'd call me back. Now, an hour later, still no one has called. I have called them about 3 more times since. No answer.

Question: I love Halloween and always have. What do I do about this? I want to trick-or-treat. And my friends aren't the type that would blow me off. =[ (link)
I would try giving them one more call and see if they answer you.

If not, just go by yourself! Who cares if there's someone running around with you? If you love Halloween, nothing and nobody should keep you from enjoying and NOBODY should try and stop you from getting candy. :)

So run around and enjoy yourself, but I'd have a talk about what happeend tonight with your friends and why they were so rude and didn't even call you back or anything.

I hope I helped.


Is there an age where your periods just stop? Like forever? I'm not talking about irregular periods... i'm talking about if you're 70 years old, do you still get your period?
13/f (link)
Yes, it does stop at some point. It usually stops for women around some time after they turn 40, but my mother's around 48 and she still has hers, so it can differ from woman to woman. But it's called menopause.

Here's a site:

on myspace how do you put pictures in your about me section? (link)
Go to either Photobucket or Tiny Pic ( Tiny Pic's better cause the links are smaller and you don't need an account or anything ) and then just browse for the picture you want and upload it.

Then just take the code and copy it, and whenever you get to your About Me, type this code in:

< i m g s r c = " " >
( remove all the spaces except for the one between img and src )

And just enter the photo's image url in between the ""'s and it should work!

Message me back though if that code to put the picture's image url in didn't show up correctly, and I'll try and re-send it to you in a way where it won't be weird.

I hope I helped.

I want a new aim screen name,but im not sure what it should be.i really like the band The Pink Spiders,but i dont want anything stupid like littlexrazorblade.i was thinking hollywoodxfix or something.any ideas will help =] (link)
I think the one you're thinking is a really good one. Here's some others one that I hope you'll like ( I don't know what all songs you know by them, so I'll just check out all the ones I do):

A Modern Swinger
Sexy As A Stinger
And Its Love
Hey Hey Razorblade ( that just might fit, 18? )
So So Dangerous
Im Treading Water
Sink Like A Stone
Soft Smoke
Bleeker and Broad

I would add some x's and stuff if that's what you like, but there's so many different ways to put x's in those names and everything, so I just figured you could choose a idea you possibly like and mess around with it and see what you like best.

I hope I helped!


my best friend's birthday is on the 7th & i have no idea what to get her. she'll be seventeen. we've been friends for fourteen years. she loves music, movies, & books. her boyfriend's in the army. idk. i already know that i'm going to get a picture of us blown up & put it in a frame & give her an IOU for a book when it comes out...but what else can i do? (link)
This could be a really pretty, cute & sentimental type of present that I'm sure she'd be touched by and love and keep forever.

Better than getting a frame and a picture of you two blown up, why not buy one of those big album types of books with the little picture frames in the front, you know what I mean?

( Picture: http://www.heirloom-books.com/graphics/memory_books.jpg )

See how there's a picture in the middle of it? You could put a picture of you & her in the middle of it.

Now it's one of those types of books where there's just blank pages on the inside, no plastic holders for the pictures and everything and this is where it can look so pretty and touching.

Just dedicate ( depending on how many pages are in the book ) say, 5 pages to each year of your friendship and make titles like "First Year, Second Year" and so on and then just cut out pictures of you two hanging out together and if you have a memory, write it down on the page and maybe cut on a magazine clipping of whatever the memories about. ( Example: Say her favorite flower's a daisy and you bought one for her one day, maybe take a fake daisy, better yet a real one, and glue it inside so she has things to look at in there too ).

And just have fourteen years of memories in that book and leave lots of pages in the back empty, too. And maybe on the last page of the "Fourteenth Year" of memories write something like,"You're the best friend I've ever had, and these are just a few of the great times we've had together. I hope you have a wonderful birthday, and I can't wait to add more memories to these pages", and then maybe make the year "Fifteenth" starting page pictures of her 17th birthday and everything and glue confetti and everything on the page. :)

You get what I'm saying, lol?

I'm sorry if I don't make much sense, I tend to babble with really long answers after awhile. If you want to talk more about it, you can always send me another message in my inbox.

:)

I hope I helped, though!


ok so in 6th grade i was best friends with a gil named ashley and starting in the middle of 7th grade i realized she was fake no t to sound cocky but she wants ot b mee ommg i cant stand her anymoreee helpp now im in 9th grade still hate her but even more but she doesnt no it and still thinks were friends she told my other friend that she thought i was drifting away from her and she didnt think i liked her cause i made a new best friend and my mom still wants me to talk to ashleyy wat should i do i have a new bst friend and i dont like her and i think she nos it ill give u good ratings if u think of somethin origanal not just tell her (link)
I would just continue talking to her, so nobody's feelings are hurt or anything, but limit the amount you talk to her. Whenever you do talk to her, mention your best friend ( but not in a mean way! you want to be sort of respectful of her feelings & everything ). If you two are discussing what you guys did over the weekend, just be like,"Oh, I've recently made this new friend. She's like one of my best friends, are we finally hung out together this weekend for the first time, so yeah, it was cool. What about you?" And carry on nice conversation while slightly hinting you've moved on.

And if she hangs out, just tell her you've made other plans, sorry, maybe another time ( and it's your choice wether there's another time or not ). Once she sees how busy you are, she hopefully realize you're not that interested in being best friends with her, just mere accquaintances and everything.

So basically, just keep living life however you want it, but just talk to her in school or something every now and then just to keep her happy and your mother happy.

I hope I helped.


what is the "c" word?
i was taking this "how evil are you" test and one of the questions was "have you ever called someone the 'c' word"
what does it mean?
thanks in advance
~m&m (link)
It's probably Cunt.

A cunt ( if you don't already know ) is a woman's vagina, and can be found as a very offensive insult to some people. I'm not sure how it's exactly used like how "gay" can be used just like "that's dumb" or whatever, but when most people use it, "cunt" is usually another word for "bitch" or something.

I hope I helped.


i DK what to do, i like a couple of people, and every time i tell 2 specific friends of mine(no names).. they always start flirting with him and being all over him right in front of me, but they dont start doing this until after i tell them.. and it has happened MORE THAN ONCE so i know that its not ajust a one time thing.. i dk what to do..

PLEASE HELP =[ (link)
Well, if I were you, there's really only two things I would do in this type of situation. I'd confront them, which would put them in their place and call them out, but would also create alot of drama and might ruin the friendships you have with these girls ( even though they're already not being good friends ).

But if I were you, I would go with this option: just stop telling them who you like. They can't flirt with him, if they don't know who he is, can they? Or maybe even as a little practical joke to yourself, tell them you like a really weird guy and watch them flirt with him all of the time, and it'd become even funnier if he would up liking them alot.

I hope I helped.
