What, exactly, qualifies as "gothic" or "emo" clothing in high school? I like a lot of different styles, and I like black clothes, skulls, chains and such but I'm not a gothic or emo person... I don't want to send the wrong idea or upset people by seeming like a poser and putting down their style or whatever... but I also want to wear the clothes that I like.
Are there rules to this that I should know about? (link)
here's a link to a image search on goth/emo clothes, so thats what it thinks:http://search.msn.com/images/results.aspx?q=goth%2Femo+clothes&FORM=MSNH&mkt=en-US

but most goth clothes are classified with chains, Tripp pants, and anything bought at HOT TOPIC.

I love hot topic, but I also shop at Aeropostale, you should just be yourself, dont worry about the brand of clothes, but if you are that worried stray away from hot topic.


ok. i want to get like spray tan or something. my mom doesnt allow me to go into those tanning beds, ever since my one friends mom got cancer from it. so, i really dont want to go in there either. so i want like spray tan or something. but i dont want to look like orange. does anyone know any good brands of spray tan? or like stuff to make you tan?

thanks in advancee. (link)
Olay has alot of tanning products, and you could probably find them in the walmart aisle. If not, look at bath and body at the mall. Olay is a really good brand for your skin, so i dont think it will turn you orange.
If you cant find anything then go to a dermatologist and get something reccommended, they're the experts so Im sure you can get something from them.


Do fat people get boyfriends//girlfriends?
Cause the basic trend is dieting your butt off and you rarely see 'fatties' getting bf//gfs.
I'm pretty fat will i get a bf? I mean I hve faith I'll get married and stuff but will i get a bf who will appreciate me? (link)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, someone out there will truly believe your beautiful, regardless of how you think you look, or what you weigh, just be confident in yourself, and never give up looking for Mr. right.


if you only make yourself throw up like 3-4 times a week, and you dont over eat before you make yourself throw up, are you still considered to have bullemia? (link)
If you make yourself throw up at all because of your weight or another self concious problem, then I'd assume you'd have some type of eating disorder, but not particularly bullemia. Basically it looks like you are only throwing up a small amount of times, (although I suggest you try to stop), and you've eliminated the binge part and skipped straight to purge.

If you stop doing it for approx. 21 days, it is said that you wont do it anymore, it breaks a habit, Its just what I ve heard.

If you think that the situation escalates at all, contact someone, a parent, doctor, teacher, ect.

Just dont let things get really out of hand.
Hope I helped a little.


i recently replaced coffee with green tea. will this benefit me in any way? (link)
It has less caffine, so it's better for your heart, and it's actually easier on your teeth.


This past week, I've had two dreams with basically the same basis. Fire. And I'm not exactly sure why.

The first dream happened around Saturday-ish. I had a dream my aunt's next door neighbor's house got caught on fire. And then I was at the corner of the street with my car [and I don't even drive yet] and my car started to be caught with fire. So I ended up miraculously putting it out, and my parents just came out of nowhere. Then we were driving, and my dad's seat caught on fire [he was driving], and I told him to jump out of the car. So he did, as did my mother and I [where my brother was, I've got no clue], but then the car blew up. And we were on the corner of a pub near my old house. And then I woke up with a feeling something bad was gonna happen. I have a little bit of an ESP power because I know when someone's gonna die, or when something bad is gonna happen. My feelings usually are right. But nothing's happened yet.

Now just yesterday, I was taking a nap, and I had the most horrible dream. My cousin who's my age just had her son in January [I'm 16, she'll be 17 in June], but anyways. My cousin, her sister, her parents, and her son were in my dream. I dreamed they were living in the house I moved out of 7 years ago. The house caught on fire, and the only person I managed to get [I was sleeping over in the dream] was the baby, and I tried getting everyone else, but they just wouldn't wake up. They weren't dead because they were snoring, but I just couldn't wake them up. My cell phone wasn't with me in my dream, and it took me forever to find a phone to call 911. They were all okay even though the house was in a horrible fire, and they were breathing everything in. I woke up with a bad feeling about that too.

I feel like something bad is gonna happen, and I'm not sure what it is yet. I've never dreamt of fire before, so this is quite the eye opener, and I'm scared of fire so maybe I'm just trying to face a fear in my dream, but I honestly doubt that's it. Because of these bad feelings, I've turned off everything that can cause a possible fire, and I've kept my room clean so nothing can spark a fire. I'm extremely cautious of it. I don't want my house to set on fire, because I value my things, but I can't help but to feel something bad's gonna happen.

Why am I dreaming of fire, and why am I so paranoid [though I suffer from it]? I don't want my house to set on fire, or my aunt's neighbor's house to catch fire. She's a lovely woman & she's been friends with my family basically since my aunt was a little girl. I don't know what's gonna happen, but I keep having this feeling. =/ Sometimes I hate knowing when something bad is gonna happen. I've been trying to warn people to be careful because something bad is gonna happen, but when they ask what I can't tell them because I don't even know myself. I'm hoping my dreams can lead me to something, but all they lead me to is a bad feeling, and bad thoughts. =/ Ugh, help? (link)
ESP runs in my family, and judging by the sound of it you have the same power my mom does. prophetic dreams. The fire may be a metaphor, but maybe not. Just keep your eyes out and wtach carefully for signs during the day time. I have ESP through physical contact, touching an object or person, so Im not much help in this.

My email is mrskittles180@yahoo.com email me, if u have anymore dreams or complications.

Ill be glad to help as best I can.


I know that u can only have sex once and get pregant. It was like 3 weeks ago me and my boyfriend had protected sex.I was in the computer looking at unexpected pregrancy and the sypotpoms and I have those. Do you like I might Be pregant?????? (link)
You definitely need to get tested right away, even if it was protected. If you are late at all then you need to highly consider the possibility. Tell your parents, and consult your doctor. You need to be absolutely positive and take it from there. I hope I helped. Good luck!


Okay I have an ex boyfriend that won't get the hint that I am in a loving relationship., well today he decided to call me and was mad because I might be pregnant. Well anyways he told me that he still wants to be friends and everything he just didn't want me to tell him about me and my boyfriend. Which it's hard to do, because I love him so much. But what really upsets me is that we were supposed to be friends, when he just told me tonight he doesn't care what I do, but that he still loves and misses me and wished he could have me back, what am I supposed to do? Keep being friends with him, or tell him where to get off at???? (link)
I agree that he needs to move on, but completely avoiding him is running away. You really need to sit down and talk to him about it. or at least over the phone. Once you try to talk it out, then you can block him and avoid his calls. I just think you should give it a head-on approach, dont run from him, if he's even semi-important in your life, you need to try to remain friends.


i like this gilr that i liked 4 a long time i told her i love d her once but she had a boy frind im 13 and i dont know wut i shoud do now shes singel and i want to ask her out but i mite thank if i do and she ses no i thank she will not even want to be friends no more (link)
I think u freaked her out. at 13 most people dont respond to I Love You unless ur dating them, so probably not a good idea.


hey, well.. you said that you'd be willing to help me with my problem, so here it is.

14/f.
mmk, well I knew this kid, who was like my bestestestest friend ever. like, i asked him for help with everythinggg. & he always looked out for me. & then eventually, we dated. for a couple months. then, he broke up with me, but a couple months later, we were best friends again. & it was like we were dating. but we never made it offical. considering, i just had gotten out of a bad relationship at that time, + i wasn't 100 percent sure if i liked him & only him completely.

that all happened in 6th grade. [ i met him in like 4th grade, & we became like best friends at the beginning of 5th grade.]

so anyways, 7th grade rolled around, me & him were still the best of friends. & i was like wow, yano we've been friends so long, most girls i know dont stay that good of friends with guys for so long. so then, at the end of 7th grade, in the summer, well, i have a sliding glasss door in my room, which leads out to my deck, & like, its confusing.. my house is like on a hill, but anyways, its really easy for boys to sneak up there.. & stuff. so i had alot of visiters during that summer, most of the boys that i didn't really care too much about. but then, my best friend [the boy] was like omg your so hot. & i'd so wanna do you. & i was also talking to my old best friend at the time [well she was still my best friend then] & i was like hes tottaly kidding right? & shes like oh yeah deffinitly. so i kinda played along with what he was saying. but then he got all weird. like he was like, do you love me? tell me you love me. & i was like wtf is he high. & he just kept saying stuff like that. so then, he was like ok im comin over. & im like.. its kinda late bud? & he was all like it would be fun. & i was like whoa nooo. & he kept insisting. & like, it wasnt like him, for awhile i didnt even think it was him. so hes like, hayley you said you loved me. & all this stuff like that. & i was like, idno i was starting to get mad. so hes like..whatever i'm coming over."

so he came over alright. & i was like, well you should've known before you walked here, i wasnt going to do that. i'm only 13. i'm not a slut. & all this stuff. eventually, i told him to go home. he ended up being really mad at me. we talked for a couple months longer, & then, that ended that. he like tottaly just stopped talking to me, completely.

& i was like so upset. because i then felt like so wrong & guilty. i mean, i didnt know he was being serious. i never thought, that he actually would have came. i never knew i dont know. so then now, i go to his school. hes in like 5 of my classes. & my lunch period. so i see him alotttt. & he looks at me alot. like alot. but he hasnt talked to me yet, & i've been there for like 2 months. & so, also, some of the kids he hangs out with, like hate me. & stuff. &thats not fair, because he basically twisted the story. saying i liked him & everything.

so, now its basically screwing things up there too. like there like, oh wait.. your that girl?
so, i don't know what to do. am i suppose to go up to him apologize? or should i just forget it?
& its like so confusing. because people though keep walking up to me. & theyll be like, wait you dated him? yeah, he always talks about you, in a good way. so like i don't know. i feel weird going up to him & just being like hey.
what should i do? i cant just forget about him. & i'm always feeling so guilty. how do i make it better? & show him that it wasn't my fault, that i didnt know. (link)
ok, well for one thing, you have no reason to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. Like you said, you're 13, not a slut. You had no way of knowing he was serious and I don't blame you for playing along either, I do that with some of my ex's and they seem to enjoy it too.
I think you should go up to him and make an attempt to talk to him about it. Neither of you have really forgotten about it and he may have just felt emmbarrased that it happened or pissed off that things didnt go his way. Regardless, you should try to talk to him civilly about it and if he does lay on the "what do you mean," act then just try to get him to talk things out with you.
If he won't then at the very least you gave it a try. He has 5 classes and a lunch with you so im kinda thinking that he'll have to talk to you eventually.
And as far as him changing up the story, thats crap. If he cant tell it like it happened then he must be either ashamed or embarrased at the way he acted.
I really hope that Ive helped u, and im thoroughly interested in this. If u want to try to explain it further or comment on my suggestion, then just put it in my inbox. Id be more than happy to discuss this more with you.


i like this girl im my class but we are friends and i dont want to ask her out incase it puts her off what should i do? (link)
Girls respond to flirting, but only if the guy makes the first move. It's crucial that you make the first move. If you're nervous about asking her out, then invite her to the movies with a group of your friends and hers. Never limit the group to only your friends or it makes you look bad.


i met this guy about 6 months ago.

i told myself that i would not fall for him but a little over two months ago we had sex. He took my virginity and i ended up falling in love with him. i told him how i feel and he was fine with it i told him i was sorry and he said don't be. Well two weeks ago we got into this argument and he told me to get over him and to stop talking to him.

i am miserable, depressed and i feel like i have no reason to smile or be happy anymore. Ive lost alot of respect for myself. none of my friends understand me or they say they don't but when i ask them what should do they say talk to him. yes maybe i do need to talk and tell him how i feel right now but he will not listen to me.

i miss this guy.
ive cried myself to sleep the last three nights.

please give me advice as to what will make me feel better.

thank you (link)
Clearly you actually have legitamate feelings toward him, but as much as you want, which if you truly can't sleep, you must, then you have to let him go. Since you gave your virginity to him you will always have a sort of connection to him, and what he said may have been in the heat of the argument, but you need to move on.
If he eventually does want you back, then that decision is up to you, but until he makes that move, just try to distance yourself a bit. Date someone, just keep a lookout for him.
You never know, he may just need a little time and space.


I want to ask someone a question, like anyone, about something, but like.. i dont know who to ask.? can anyone help me out? it will be like super long. & will take you awhile to read. i gurantee it. if i include it all. but like,youd also have to be realllyy really good at answering questions like always get 5s because to me, its like really important, & its messing everything up in my life. & i just have to fix it. soo, is anyone willing to help me? or no anyone on this site who will? (link)

Every time I eat or drink something, I always end up getting sick from it. Lately I have not been eating because I fear of getting sick again. I do know I NEED to eat, so I do go by small portions, but now my body is getting more and more sensitive to food, and I end up getting sick. Even water worsens it.

What could this be and what could I do besides going to a Doctor? (link)
I suggest eating peanut butter because it is good to a sensite stomach. also if you drink sprite it is supposed to calm your stomach down.


ok well my battery is low on my ipod so when i press the centre button it shows a low battery...i didnt use it the battery just got low... well then it starts getting lines on it like you know when your TV has lost the signal!!?? is there sumthin wrong or what?

PS i dont no if sum1 like snuck in and got it and used up all the battery (link)
Hold the center and menu button for a few secinds until the screen shows the apple logo. It will reset it. it should take care of the lines. u may just have to charge it.


how do you know when a guy likes you ? any signs ?? Thanks!!!! (link)
Most of the time if a guy likes you, he makes attempts to hang out with you. He'll just act normally around you but he'll try to do it often. He may not be outwardly flirtatious, because normally, the girl is supposed to be.
If you flirt with him and he responds then you've got him. Its all a balance thing. If it gets uncomfortable, then just tell him that that's not how you meant whatever you said or just walk away and call him. normally it's easier to talk to someone freely if you can't see them, so the phone works.

But if he tries to be around you alot, then thats the key sign.


15/f (16 soon)

Info: There's this guy, his name is Jeff and he is the same age as me. We met once during the summer through a mutual friend. This friend happens to be my best friend and at the time she "liked" him. I just came along so she wouldn't be alone because we live two hours away from him (she's known him for years but moved). Ever since then, me and Jeff have been talking over MSN. My friend moved on and she said it was okay if I liked him.

My friend finally told him I like him and that I'm going to move on if he doesn't make more of an attempt to hang out with me (at least meet half way). I thought he knew but he knows my friend and I did have a big of a fight over him in the past so he tries to stay out of it.

Question: He's always there when I want to talk but he said "I like helping people feel better and I let her talk to me." Does this imply he's just doing it to be nice? Or does he actually like me? He's calling in sick at work and begging his dad to let him see me THIS WEEKEND. Was that just the reality check he needed?

Sorry that was so long! Help is greatly appreciated! =) (link)
I think that he does like you. Most guys sare under the impression that girls don't like them until they're told that they do. If your friend told him then he knows you're intrested and he's just biding his time. Worry less and try to spend time with him.

If you do seem him this weekend, flirt a little, but leave the main decision up to him. If he steps up, great. If he backs down then you get your chance to move on.
