Hi I'm 18/f.
I get affected easily by what people say about me. (I know, at this age I should already be very confident) When I spot a new haircut, initially I'll feel really good bout it but when other people start to criticise it, I start to feel ugly and feel that my new haircut sucks too when i look in the mirror.

Sometimes I think I'm pretty , sometimes I'm not. I get upset when people don't think I'm pretty. I will try means and ways to get them to say I'm pretty. Or when I ask someone, "she's prettier or I'm prettier?", I'll keep bugging him or her to say them I AM prettier. I know its bad. Can someone help me to be less affected by what others say and be more confident bout wat i think of myself?

First off, remember, just because someone thinks your ugly doesn't mean you are. For an example: your at a party and two guys come up and say "Which one of us is hotter??" and you say, "Jason". Then Brandon is going to be upset. Just like you.

When people say your ugly just say something like, "I'm prettier than you." and walk away. Get counseling if you need to. Sometimes your surface problems are not what they seem. They can be deep down inside of you. =]

my friend ALWAYS copies me. like if i put something on my profile she puts that up too if i put something on my myspace she does that too. if i buya pair of shorts, she will buy them too. i know people say copying is a way of flattery but sometimes its just annoying. i like to be my own person. should i say something to her? if i should, what should i say?

I think you should hint around that you don't like it when people copy you. Like one day your in a conversation and you can bring up something like, "Ugh, I hate it when people copy me. It's so annoying and I'm glad my friends don't do stuff like that!".

If it continues just tell her that it's not nice when people copy other people and you would greatly appreciate her being her own person. =]

Good luck with that.

my uncle's german shepered bit me and i have a big bruise do i have a rabies? cause my uncle said he got complete rabies shots so i dont have to worry but my friends and my PE teacher said that i have to go to the doctor im confused
and my mom doesnt know that my uncle's dog bit me
by the way the dog bit me in 05/9/2006 and
i washed my wound after he bit me it didnt break my skin that much and no blood at all.


No, you don't have rabies. When a cat, dog, etc. bites you, your going to be bruised. He can't get rabies if he has had shots.

I get pimples from time to time and I was wondering if there was a way I could stop that and make my face clear. I may go a week or two without pimples then will have five or six on my face. Please let me know what I can do to stop this.

First off, I'm going to give you some information on zits to tell you how they appear!

Zits are filled will oil and dead skin that have became inflamed. They then form a red bump/zit and get red. Few days later.....you have a yellow zit (yuk!). If they don't have special care or if you push the infection even further down then your going to have a scar.

Hormones also cause zits and stress. Wash your face daily with "Clearasil: -DAILY- Oil Control" I have this product and it works wonderfully for me. It leaves your face soft and oil free! You can find it at your local Walmart!

i know guitar strings all depend on the person, but what is the best type of string for a begginer on an electric guitar?(light,regular,ect.)

I don't know too much about guitars but try regular, so you can adjust to it and get used to using them.

If you have anymore problems/questions I would recommend asking MFS. He knows quite a bit about guitars.

ok.. I'm 13/f and I'm in the 7th grade. I play JV ball for the highschool and there is this girl who is in the same grade and she got ask to play with us in the summer and now she is telling every body that she is a varisty player for the highschool.. her mother puts stuff in her head tellin her she is the best ball player ever and crap.. it really just pisses me off..It gets stuff in her head and crap.. We'll get to play them in aau and I'm going to show her out for she won't think she is the best ever..should I be mad or how should I think about this?

The problem with this girl is that it's not her fault. It's her mothers. When a child is 1 years old, for example, they hear what their mother tells other people and what their parents/mother tells them.

That's whats going on here. Just sit this girl down and have a serious talk with her about what she's been doing and how she could probably lose her place on the team.

Have your mother have a talk with her mother. Things could turn out good, if the right steps are taken in this situation. =]

My friends are fighting a lot.Any suggestion?I'm 14,a girl,and I'm from Singapore.

First, you need to stay out of it because things could lead to problems, example:

"Sandy is talking about me and I'm getting pissed off over it." and then Sandy's non-friend, comes to you and says:
"Jane is talking about me and I know it! I'm going to kick her butt tomorrow!"

Then Jane asks you why you talked to Sandy and Jane gets mad and so does Sandy because you talked to Jane.

Get it?

Thats why it's better to stay out of things for a while. If one of your friends comes and asks you what the other said or if your their friend it could lead to problems so it's best to say, "It's your argument. Not mine, I think it would be best if I stayed out of it for a while, okay?"

Good luck!

that was my old question

i decided to give throw away my old computer but i dont know where to.. and also how do i take out the hard drive so no one can see my old documents? and its a windows 98 computer

Get a professional to do this. If your inexperienced with computers, you need a someone with much experience and knowledge to do this. When they take it out just ask for it back, if you want.

I couldn't find anything on the web about taking one out. But remember, computers can be dangerous things if you don't know what your doing, that's why you need a professional.

Check the Yellow Pages, and maybe you can find someone. Also, have your computer recycled. They can take the parts out of it and make new ones! =]

Good luck!

okay so i had a sony windows 98 computer and now i have a new one.. but my mom was planning on putting it outside so someone could take it or something, so if someone were to take it would they be able to see all my documents on my old computer? (the sony windows 98 one)

Find out how to take the hard drive out of it or get someone else to. Then no one will be able to see your documents. =]

OK, so I accidentally left my computer running for about a day.

So when I shut the computer down, let it rest for a few hours, and turn it back on, my monitor settings are completely screwed.

It looks spherical--the text, that is. The icons are distorted, text is distorted, and my wallpaper is distorted. Everything is smaller, and my desktop takes up about half of the space on my monitor.

I've tried resetting it, letting the computer rest some more, unplugging and replugging the computer, etc., but nothing is working.

The operating system I'm using is Windows 98. Yes, I'm aware it's ancient, just please someone help me out!

- irate Windows user.

I think I know how to fix this problem.

Go to "CONTROL PANEL" Then click, "DISPLAY". Ok, after you do this go to, "SETTINGS". Then click, "Screen Resolution" and set it to about,
"1024 by 768 pixels".

I used to have a 98 in but it crashed in September. So, if this doesn't work. Go to your desktop and 'right' click, then go to "Properties" Then go to "Settings", "Screen Resolution" and set it to "1024 by 768 pixels" and if you don't like it that small make it "800 by 600 pixels" and do as above!

like a lot of other people i have a bad habit of biting my nails. i ALWAYS do it! i like cna't stop. Can anyone give me advice on how i could stop?! I'll rate 5s!

I have answered this before. So, instead of rewriting it, here is my answer before! =]

-----------------------

I know what you mean. Well, what I do to stop the madness (fingernail biting) is when you wash your hands leave a little bit of soap under them. I know it sounds bad but trust me. In 5th grade I did that I don't bite them anymore!

To keep you from biting the finger-nail polish off you need to buy some clear kind, perferably the kind called, "Hard As Nails." It stays on longer and makes your nails hard to they are much harder to chew off. You can find this product at your local drug store or Walmart.

Well, 2day my friends decided to tell the guy that i like that i like him, and it totally screwed everything up, because i wanted to do it myself!
Also, he told them that he didnt like me at the momment, so, what the hell is at the momment suposed to mean?
I totally hate myself right now, and feel totally worthless!

Hev

First of all, don't hate yourself. Guys will be guys. If he doesn't like you then it's not worth abusing yourself.

You also need to have a serious, eye-to-eye, talk with your friend. I've had friends do this to me too.

You could either have a talk with your friend or keep things to yourself. Which is much better because you know, when you tell someone something, theres a little part in you thats like, "Oh...What if she tells!! I'm going to be so embarassed!!"


Also, what he ment by, "not at the momment" was that he didn't like you as a girlfriend right now; maybe some other time.

I'm sorry if that sounded rude, but it was hard telling you this without sounding like a jerk. =[
