Ok so i really dont understand this, im really nice and funny and everything like serioussly. Its not fair that all of these snobby girls have guys like drooling over them. I dont think im pretty and you'll probably say that i am and blah but how do i get guys to like me? I mean, i talk to guys like all the time and its just stupid that they dont see how much of a nice person i am...

i know how you feel!! there's all the popular snobs girls with their little handbags and name brand clothes, and they seem to get whatever they want. the guys will grow up and begin to realize that there's more to a person than what they are currently seeing. for now all you can do is try to get to know people and flirt and be yourself.

go talk to him. tell him how he makes you feel..maybe he doesn't realize what he's doing, as bad as that sounds. if he keeps it up, you might want to ditch him. you deserve better than someone treats you poorly.

what is a good way of convincing your parents to get you a pet!!!!(((other than puppy eyes or making a deal with them, already tried)))

be really responsible. do chores and clean your room and make them believe that you can handle a pet. just ask them every once and a while, or else you'll annoy them and they really won't let you. good luck!!! xo

I know this doesnt go along with the category but get the hell over it and deal....For christmas i got a digital camera and a printer to go with it...however the camera is Fujifilm and the printer is Cannon.....my dad already followed the instuctions and all and we cant seem to get it to work..if anybody can help i'll greatly appreciate it.

i think you need to get a Fujifilm printer too for it to work. They probably need to be the same brands

I've been using the crest whitestrips for about 2 days now and I was wondering if you like swallow does the bleach come off? and I don't know if I have swallowed most of the bleach, because everytime there was saliva in my mouth I'd lick my teeth and swallow. Also, what happens if you DO swallow the bleach on accident?
Thanks, much.

its made for your mouth, and sometimes you accidentally swallow it. nothing bad's gonna happen

ok, i really want bangs. i have long blonde hair and i think it would wrap the look up. people say i should but then there is someone called my MOM who says i cant! it pisses me off because she doesnt let me do anything to my hair! how can i convice her?

ask her her reasoning on why you can't get bangs.
tell her it's your hair and you at least want to try it.

My sister is seriously a devil, she can't keep her hands to herself! She abuses me by hitting me really hard and throwing furniture at me! I hate it when she does this and I can never make her stop! She swears at me and the thing about it is, is that she is my younger sister! I 've already told my parents and they don't do much excpet ground for a week! i am seriously getting hurt and I don't know what else to do! what should i do?

you have to sit down and really tell your parents. show them any bruises or cuts you might have. if this keeps happening, you need to tell someone else such as your guidance counselor.

ponytail or messy bun, put it half back, or crimp it

When I was still with my boyfriend, I never really and truly loved him. I loved him but I wasn't IN love with him, if you know what I mean. He broke up with me, saying we had nothing in common and I thought I was okay. My friends came round to cheer me up and I thought I was over him. Then, yesterday I couldn't stop crying and I realised that I loved my ex. I need him back, I can't live without him. Everyone's telling me that I'm still young and that my heart will be broken a thousand times until I find the right guy, but I don't care. I'm scared that if I don't get my baby back then I'm going to hate christmas forever. What should I do?

maybe you need to talk to him. tell him how you are feeling. if he rejects you, realize that you have to move on. there are going to be more guys
