advice
so basically i want to get a myspace and want to have my parents permission. ive asked them both to have a "meeting" so i can convince them that i should have one. basically they dont want to hear everyone else has it and i can keep in touch with my old friend.. etc. so im going all out and presenting them with this whole thing of reason why its safe. and how i wont do this yada yada yada ik it seems over board but i really want it. so i came across that you can message people you are not friends with and i wanted to know i there is anyway to block that feature. also if anyone can bring up good "topics" that can help me, those would be apprieciated. any thing that would convince them would be helpful. also if you have info i need proof like internet pages that states these facts would be nice. thank you so much in advance.
Ok Im going to use bullets so it will be easier to read. lol
-You can make your profile private so only the people you have as friends can see it
-Also you can make your pictures friends only or so no one can see them (except the default one)
-You wont add people who you dont know and wont post personal info.
-Can block people from seeing your profile
-You can also show them yours when you make one like "Ok, look its private when Im not logged in". Also, show them who you have as friends.
Good luck! It worked for my parents!
i have pretty clear skin but what can i do about scars? i sort of have a lot of acne scars on my forehead and i was wondering if theyre going to fade or if there is anything i can do about them. i am 14/f if that helps.
Well you can prevent more by not picking at your acne! Some do fade over time but can take a LONG time. I have heard that Vitamin E helps. I think a drugstore brand (like Neutrogena or something) has a cream you can use. Or you can always go to a dermatologist because they have several treatments you can do ranging from microdermabrasion to lasers. I think you can get do-it-yourself dermabrasion at the drugstore too.
Good luck!
ok.14/f. so i have a question about high school dances. i'm going to be a fresman and i'm kinda confused about the big dances. like winter formal and all of those. so, i know that only juniors and seniors can only go to prom, unless you're like a fresman or sohphmore and you have a date whos a junior or senior. but what about winter formal and all the other big dances like that? can you go at any age, with any aged person? or is it like prom?? i know like just regular dances you can go whatever age, but i would just like to know. thanks!!
The only dance that underclassmen cant go to (unless invited by a junior or senior) is Prom. The rest of them (Homecoming, winter/spring formals) you can go with whoever at any grade. You should definetly (sp) go to them! They are really fun!!
-But like a person said some schools have their own rules but I cant imagine anything else being "age-restricted" like Prom is.
please only answer this if you have dealt with serious acne.
my acne isnt as bad as some people, but i am CONSTANTLY broken out. i cant remember the last time i had a clear face. ive used practically everything and nothing works. well, some stuff works for like a week or two but stops working after that. ive tried clean and clear, proactive, murad, clearisil, biore, neutrogena, st.ives apricot scrub, cetaphil, noxzeema, clinique 3-step, i mean i cant even list every brand ive tried!
ive gone to the dermatologist and they gave me differin & duac. i had to use it for about 6 months and it only worked for about a month.
my mom wont let me take pills. and i cant do accutane.
will somebody please help me! give me a routine to do every morning and night that ahs really cured your face. im up for anything now.
Mine wasnt serious but it was constant! I feel your pain, my face has scars now =(
I use Differin and for the 1st month it made my face so BAD but then it cleared up except for a small one or two but I have scars now!
Mine routine is pretty simple, I wash my face in the morning with a gentle foam cleanser (Estee Lauder but you could find something at a drugstore like Neutrogena) and put a skin refinisher on my face (to smooth it) and a light mositurizer with SPF and then my foundation.
At night I was my face again with the same foaming cleanser and apply Differin. I also pull my hair up after I do that and also when Im at home.
But Im going to the dermatologist so I might get something new to try but differin is working for me.
Drugstore products didnt work for me, so the first prescription I got was BenzaClin. (Then it stopped working and I got Differin) You might have to go back to a doctor and keep trying something until you find one. Or maybe use it for a little longer and see what happens. Im sure your dermatologist has treatments used to treat acne and then use a product along with it. However, DONT use too many products, it will dry out your skin and make it worse!
Keep your hair clean and change/wash your pillowcase at least once a week. Good luck!
what are some good topics for a contest site? prettiest eyes gets kind of boring. what are original ideas that i could use, that will be fun?

-Most exaggerated pose or emotion
-Cutest animal or pet
-Cutest couple
-best black and white photo
-best effects photo (like photoshop or something)
I was wondering what are some pretty good things to tell someone when you comment their picture? I'm getting tired of say"gorgious" & "wow pretty" & all that other old stuff. Just give me some nice things to say.
thanks :D
What about:
-Of course the cliche gorgeous, hottie, cutie, etc.
-Complement their hair or eyes or something
-Complement what they have on like "OMG i LOVE those shoes"
-you should be a model, etc
-i wish i could of gone there (like if they have a picture up with them somewhere on vacation)
-I have a shirt like that! we have good style (thats what a friend commented me with)
i cannnotttt fall asleep as hard as i try, ive tried music, ive tried warm drinks, ive tried reading, watching tv, I CANT GO TO SLEEP!its driving me crazzzzzy i lay in my bed for at LEAST 3 hours. then finally fall asleep, does anyone know anyways you have tried falling asleep and it worked? THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I have had this problem before!
Ok, before you go to bed try to be relaxed. (Like a warm bath or hot shower) Try to advoid caffene (sp) after 3PM and doing alot of excersing before you go to bed. Make sure your room is comfortable and if you need to, turn a fan on. Try not to think about anything that bothers you or makes you worry. You can image a peaceful scene, like a beach at sunset or sunrise. Make sure your active during the day so you will be tired at night. Also, try to go to bed around the same time each night.
If it persist, you may want to go to a doctor. You could be an insomiac.
im 13 and im going to see a movie with my girl friends. im not sure which one would be the best for us.. but we are thinking of going to see either evan almighty, harry potter, sicko, or transformers. what do you think we'd find the most entertaining? thanks :)
Ok, I saw most of these. Heres my take:
Evan Almighty- It was ok, but some parts it just dragged. It was hilarious at some parts but for me it was just too much in a negative way.
Harry Potter- I know your friend cant see it but if you like Harry Potter and have seen the other movies, you will enjoy it!
Sicko- I wouldnt. I saw it (15/f) and some parts I enjoyed, but honestly I was bored. It wouldnt be a movie I would pick to go see with my friends to be entertained with.
Transformers- I havent seen it yet, but I probably will soon. Everyone has said it was GREAT and the effects are amazing. Probably your best bet since you cant see Harry Potter!
I was just wondering, what is the difference between "group-centered" leadership and "leader-centered" leadership? And which one is better? Or rather, is one better than the other?
In my opinion "group-centered" is when you the leader think about the group whereas "leader-centered" is when the leader just thinks about him/herself.
Group-Centered is better because you are being selfless and know whats best for everyone. People tend not to like leaders who only care about themselves. You work more as a team and the leader helps out more. Basicly, its more even or fair.
I got a digital camera today and tomorrow I'd like to take photos :) Photos of anything really...but the subject I'm having the most troubles with is myself. Where should I take photos of myself? And what pose should I pose and stuff?
Haha thanks.
You can take pics. of yourself anywhere really. Outside, indoors, at a park, at a mall, in your room, etc. For the pose I like to have myself look up and have the camera above me. Or like its a class photo where you are just smiling. You can have the camera at an angle. You could do the peace sign or a shocked expression.
i listened to this song on the radio it goes like
love me love me say that you love me...
thats all i can remember thanks
Love Fool-The Cardigans
Hah, I kinda like this song.

so im going to be a freshman, this september or august or whatever, and im like nervous. does it suckk incredibly? like do they seriously make fun of you? how bad is it?
Dont worry, Upperclassmen will leave you alone. (Unless you mess with them or something. But still.) Dont be nervous, everyone else will be nervous too. Its very similar to middle school, except larger and the hallways are mixed with different grades. (Ex. there are different grades in each building) In some of your classes (foreign languages, electives, math if you are advanced) you will have other grades. But they'll be nice and ask you about it and tell you about teachers.
Trust me, it isnt bad. Just relax and you'll get used to it. However, ask a teacher if you need help finding a room some upperclassmen will lie.

lately ive been pretty stressed over friends. i really just need a way to relax. becuase lately i cant really talk to anyone , so i just wanna relax. if u have any ideas or tips or anything itd help a lot
thanks!!!!
Do something you enjoy. Get or give yourself a mani or pedi! Take a relaxing hot bath with a scented salts or something. Read a book or listen to your favorite music. You could also go to your room and take a nap while listening to soothing music. Do something you enjoy!
idk if im in the right section or not but.. i have a problem sleeping. i can NEVER fall asleep past 5:30 am and i always have to wake up at 9. im soooo tired during the day but i can never ever fall asleep know matter how tired i am. i dont drink caffiene and my house isnt loud. please help..thanks so much!
Ok, there can be many reason why. 1) Make sure you are relaxed and comfortable. You should have a comfortable temperature in your room or turn on a fan. Do something that relaxes you. read a book. 2) If you have a lot on your mind, then it will be harder. Try to not focus on the bad and instead focus on something good. Also, try picturing a relaxing scenery, like a sunset. 3) You might not be using all your energy during the day. So try to be active or try excersing more, just not too close to bedtime. 4)Try to go to bed at a regular time so the body will get used to a time and you will be sleepy around that time. 5)Try to advoid caffiene after 4 PM.
Good luck!
I need know how can I stay focus on reading a book that sound interessing, but thing is my mind so somewhere else. I really try like read words and picture what i am reading, but can't seem do it. anybody know any good word that help me focus?
Well, make sure you are in a quiet place with no or very little noise distractions. Also, find a comfortable place like a couch or even your bed. Basicly, try to relax. You can always guess what will happen next and keep on reading to see if you are right. Sometimes I like to "become" the character (lol) and pretend Im experiencing the same thing. Also, I might read a paragraph a couple of times.
Hope I helped!
i got my braces off in may-ishyy and i want to really whiten my teeth up. i mean there already pretty white but i want to make them pop :] haha.
know anythingg that workss good?
nothingg too expensive.
graciass :]
You know what really worked for me? This colgate paint on whitner. (less than 10$!) Im not sure if they still make it, but you can find a product similar to it at a drug-store. It shouldnt be more than $15.
Also, try not to drink a lot of coffee or grape juice those drinks can stain you teeth. You might not notice now, but when your older you will. Of course you a toothpaste with a whitener(sp) in it. (About $4). Brush and floss daily and go to a dentist for regular cleanings.
Good luck!
Hi,
Im 15/f,
When Im in school I have a good few friends but when it comes to the summer hols or weekends I never hear from them and often meet them up town and feel kinda put out they never asked me. I have three groups of friends and a few from other different groups. I dont know if its my paranoia or at school they kinda have to hang around with me. I asked a friend could I go out with her and her friends one night and she said she would text me and she seemed uncomfortable.
Do they actually want to be my friends or is it my really bad paranoia??
Plz help
xx
Well, being a teenager is a difficult time. In my opinion, real friends would want to hang out with you outside of school. (Sometimes you have a few people you talk to in class but you dont hang out with them outside of class, like in the halls or whatever.) I wouldnt say its your paranoia, you need to think about it. Try getting together a few more times (maybe with another group of friends) and if it doesnt work out, maybe they dont want to be that friendly. If they dont even call or text you back, then they really dont want to.
Basicly, you dont want to 'force' yourself on people. So dont push it for months, they may only want to be friends with you at school. Try getting together with someone else or try making new friends. I know its hard.
Good luck!
so im having a sweet 16.
the theme is hollywood.
im planning on having it at a club.
the clubs im thinking of are in Pontiac Michigan.
they are tonic, tiki bobs, sevin, clutch cargo.
the rest of it i need help with.
i have no clue what to do for decorations or as a sweet entrance or what to have at my party that will be cool.
if anyone could help it would be totally amazing!
thanks!
Basicly what the person below me said. (Red carpet, gold&black, hollywood stars for the invitations, and partying like a rockstar) Also, for you grand entrance you could have it roped off somehow (red velvet?) and have all your friends behind like they're the paparazzi and have an announcer. You could arrive in a limo. Also, maybe have a VIP for your closest friends-like a section or something. Have colorful 'mock'tails and maybe appetizers.
Well i like this boy right im 15 and his 14 were both in eyar 9 and his a little bit shorter like 4 cm and my friend always tell me its wrong to like him but i dont judge people by there height or age (As long as its not 10 years lol) i really like him do you think its wrong to like him ?
No, who really cares if he's younger or shorter? You really like him and thats all that matters. Like you said it isnt like he's a lot younger than you.
I'm on a diet. For dinner, were going to a steak house type place. Either Applebees, TGI Friday's, etc. Something to that sort. I have no idea what to order. I looked at their Weight Watchers/Low Fat menu & nothing seemed appetizing. I'm a very picky person & not into onions/mushrooms or anything of that sort. I like my food plain, like chicken & salad or something. I heard ordering salad out at those restaurants are actually high in fat because of the dressing & what not. What would you suggest me ordering? Thanks!
I would go for a salad for sure. Ask for the dressing on the side or ask not to have bacon or cheese sprinkled on it. Ceasar wouldnt be a good choice because all creamy dressings are high in fat. The best are oils/vinegars. They might even have low-fat or fat-free dressings too. Just ask.
