I haven't used photoshop in a while, but I think putting it into the main view and going to Image->Adjustments should have a box that says something about tint. You would probably have to lasso it all first. Wait, no. Marquee it.

I'm guess you're talking about moderators... I don't know of moniters here...
To become Level I you need to:
1. Be here for 30 days
2. Have a feedback rating greater than 4
3. Be rated at least 5 times
4. Updated your column (Answered a question) within the past week
5. Either have never been banned or were banned more than 6 weeks ago.
6. Click on the magical button in the "Make Me a Moderator" Page (Find the sit map)

To become a Level II, you need to:
1. Be selected by the admins.

My experiances are many, as I have gone to many places where I haven't known people. I just walk up to a group of people and ask nicely if I could join in with the conversation. Then, you contribute to it, and gain knew friends. That's the just do it part.

I don't think you will because you have started to become a teenager. Your stress levels are increasing, your horones are working, and your body is developping. All adds up to that you are changing naturally. You most likely will not change to how you were ever again.
But, you can change to other things. Like, you can change to being a wonderful helper dedicating your time, or an athlete, or even a star. All you need to do is reach for it.
This is your time to decide who you want others to see you as. Choose wisely.

(Wow, I feel like that didn't do anything...)

Because girls in Junior and High School are very rebellious. They are starting to gain independence from their parents which they never had, and take it as much more than it is. They fail to realise that they are not completely free. This last link causes them so much anxiety and defiance, that it carries out to the girl's friends and such.
They also are physically still changing, meaning elevated levels of hormones. This may also attribute to it.

Well, it may seem disturbing, but this is fairly normal. When people learn stuff, they want to experiment. And they usually do. I know a guy who had sex with his cousin when they were 12. It happens. Your sister is a bit better off than him, but make sure you are very careful. Let her know that there is a time and place for everything, and making out with your sister may be seen as very long.
It seems like she is a bit over-active though. You may want to let her get over horniness in other ways, if you catch my drift.
-Steven

Stridex Pads. Very cheap, and very effective. I use them when my face gets really bad, and it's cleared up in 2 days. Wash you face first, then use it.
-Steven

1. Be a level I mod.
2. Be active.
3. Answer lots of help good.
4. Rate a lot of questions as level I
5. Be on for a long time.

That is pretty much how. It isn't automatic like Level I, but it is mainly who the L3s pick.

With me and a girl, it is:
1. I just cannot stop thinking about her.
2. I can see myself with her in the future
3. I get jittery when talking to her.
4. I try to spend a lot of time with her.

If I do that, it's usually love for me.
-Steven

No, you are not abnormal, your friends are just fast. You are perfectly fine. I think the average age for a first kiss is 14.5, so you're still in fine territory. Heck, I'm 16.5 and still haven't. But, I am male, it may be different.
-Steven

I wouldn't worry about him talking to other girls. Guys even in relationships do that all the time. Just nature. It was coincidence that he talked to her, and she was pretty.
He does seem to like you, no doubt. Complimenting the hair is something we guys usually don't do unless we're interested.
But, it sounds a lot like he is a quick goer. AKA, he's not going to be single if you wait too long. You got to make action quick.
Also, love rules over all other emotions. This includes fear. If you truely do love him, you should not be afraid. Don't be. It shows weakness in you, and guys don't usually like that.
-Steven

Perfectly fine. I see no problem with it, you are close enough.
-Steven.

I would. It would delight me, as it would show that somebody has a crush on me. Make sure to attack a note. If not, the boy may get confused as to why there is a rose in his locker. Sign it "Your secret admirer". I think it'd be cute.
-Steven

Put it in paint, use the Marquee tool (Square), and shrink it by using the corner of the tool. I suggest widening the box first. Then, click out of the tool and select the corner. Drag it to the very corner, and be presise. Save it upload to photobucket, and enjoy!

Cutting is unhealthy because of a few reasons.
1. You lose blood. It isn't healthy to lose a lot of blood.
2. The repeated shock of it is not good for your body.
3. I have heard of countless tales of nerve damage and torn tendons because of it. The results are usually weakness in joints, or in some cases, inability to move it much at all.
4. You may cut too deep, causing death.

That is the physical problems. But a lot of it is mental problems. Such as:
1. You are put into a high dosage of morphine each time you cut. That can, and usually does lead to addiction.
2. High levels of a drug aren't that good, by the way.
3. You depress yourself by making yourself believe that cutting solves your problems. You lose the ability to find another way out of problems.

If at anytime you wish to actually stop, I am here. Drop one in the inbox or AIM at GMSB543, or even E-Mail at sbloemeke2@yahoo.com. I'm always here for you.
-Steven

Of course. If you don't, he may never do it. The guys also tend to enjoy it a lot, it relieves a lot of stress of them when you make the first more. How would I know? Well, I am a guy.
-Steven

Ah, the knee scars. I fell when I was sprinting away from band, and they look like the types of scars you get from surgery... Same shape, location, and size. Anyways...
Neosporin sells a type of temporary scar remover... you just apply it and move on with your day. I think you can buy it at a CVS or other drug store.
-Steven

This is hard to predict, as you cannot really judge from 3 things, but I think he may have a bit of a crush on you. He's avoiding because he is afraid it may develop into something else if he talks to you consistantly.
Though the staring is normal for guys. I'd know, being one. That part really means nothing. He can't help it.
If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. Let things happen. Most likely, you won't have to worry until after he leaves his present girlfriend.
-Steven

Doing both at the same time. Cutting calories alone will do nothing, as nothing more will be burned. Running alone will do nothing, it will burn the calories you consume each day. If you do both, you burn the few calories you do have, and start burning off the fat.
Though, I advise NOT worrying about losing weight quickly, for even the people with the most motivation will stop after a month or two and break their diet. Aim to lose 2-3 pounds a month, not 10-20.
-Steven

Tell her to come to me. I acted as someone who I was not for over a year, and it ruined me to bits. Just tell her that if she does not believe you about being fed up with it, IM GMSB543. I can easily tell her the true horrors that it can cause... DID, OCD, depression, stress, etc.
Anyways, hope this helps!
-Steven

THE PENGUIN RULES ALL! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Cough*
Hello! My name is Steven, and I am a mentor. Yes, that does mean that I help other people. I have helped over 1000 people to date, and have helped some individuals for over 1/2 a year. The miracle of my life occurred 17 years ago. I say miracle only because 1/4 babies survive to be born.
I am the first born of 2 children, and I am also the black sheep. I listen to Classical Music, so you can call me a weirdo. :P. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so take no offense if my answers never seem to end.
In school, I get As and Bs. More Bs really. I play trombone, and was the section leader of the trombones at my school. This year, I am the captain of the entire brass section. I am an Eagle Scout, so I guess that says I'm persistant? You make the call. I am a 3 time varsity letter winner, looking for a 4th next winter. I also participate in the musical, where I am a Bass 2. :)
I am straight, and have never had a relationship beyond a friend. However, I have survived the bumps in the road, and can advise you if you wish it. Though, it's not my strength.
I'm here for you, and only you. That means that my advise will not always confort you. Heck, it may even scare you. Yet, I want you to do what is best for your mind. Not what is typically seen as best for you, but what YOU see best for YOU. Heck, if you wanted what was seen as best for you, you would've asked your parents what you should do. They give you what's typically best.
Alright, before I start getting tendinitis from writing that over and over again, I'll just say what I mean. I mean that if you ask me about something, let's say walking 10 miles a day, and I think it's rediculous, yet you are asking for something to do, I am NOT going to say "10 miles is the type of a thing a anorexia athletica would do. Try 5." I'll give you something to do.
Oh, and I'm a L1 moderator, which means I rate questions.

Don't hesitate to IM me, I'm usually on. If I'm not, just drop one in the Inbox!

Oh, by the way, I am liberal in everything. That means that abortion is a woman's RIGHT, and gay marriage should be LEGAL.

Ask away!
-Steven
