a bunch of guys HATE annerexic girls. they think there ugly and have now curves. of course a little bit of fat is okk! Too skinny girls look abnormal and deformed. Im told that they like my eyes and my crazy personality. i hope i helped


Ok, so I have been best friends with this boy since kindergarten. I recently switched schools and asked him out. I wrote him a letter telling him how I felt about him. He ended up saying no, and I was crushed. I haven't talked to him since. What should I do? (link)
well you have to understannd that he probably feels awkward and un comfterable about the situation. if i were you i would IM him or e-mail him and say that you understand that it might creep him out that his BFF likes him. but tell him that you really want to be friends and that you truly care about him. let him know that you dont have to date and that you want to be friends.


Well, a rumor got spread about me at school last year that was completely untrue, and someone who was one of my absolute best friends believed it. He's a boy, and I'm a girl, and I guess it was just very dissapointing to have him believe it..I wouldn't have expected it out of him. (and the rumor didnt have anything to do with another guy, or him, or anything) Well, after he heard about it he stopped talking to me. Just completely ignored me, etc, so I did the same back. And it was hard, because we were very good friends, but hey, I didn't want to be friends with someone who would think I'd sink that low.

Anyway, two nights ago he called me and just out of the blue asked ME why I stopped talking to him. I explained the whole situation & he sounded very sorry. He told me if I ever have a problem to come to him about it. He said he hated when we weren't talking, hanging out, etc.

My problem is, I just don't know if I can believe it. He is a VERY sincere person, that's why I was so shocked when he just believed the rumor about me, and wouldn't come to ME to ask me about it. But idk, we talked for an hour on the phone and he said he hated that I didn't talk to him, etc, and that we basically weren't friends. I think I'm just confused, and wondering if I should believe that he didn't talk behind my back and stuff the whole time he believed the rumor? (link)
i truly believe hes sory and means what he says.deff. be friends again give it a try. he seems so sweet. even if he might have aid stuff bout you he is wiling to forget it and im not saying you should forget about it cuz its hurtful when people talk about you. but if thatsbothering you talk to him about it.




a friend of mine was recently telling me that 'im his bffff (link)
dont test him. if you already know that hes the typeof person tat does that kind of stuf then dont tell him nething. you can be bfff but dont tell him secrets.


I'm a competative volleyball player; in the off season I gain weight and its difficult for me to train once season starts again. How do I keep my body in top shape with out having practice everyday.

My parents won't get us a membership to a gym. I'm not allowed to go running around my neighborhood because three girls in here have been kidnapped, our treadmill broke, and I don't have any exercise videos and my parents don't want me to buy any, because they're afraid I think I'm fat and I'll go anorexic. HELP! (link)
well this is simple do 20 crunches at night before bed. i do gymnastics and crunches are the best to bulid muscle in your stomach. also for your legs lay on your back and lift your legs like a few inches off the ground and hold them for like 20 secs. its so hard but its worth it. those are somethings we do to stretch,

hope they help


how do you get sand out of the fabric of a swimsuit (link)
soak it in water or just rinse it


okay, seriously.. i must be an insomniac. it's 5:27 am and i cant sleep, i cleaned my whole room, bathroom and kicthen to give me something to do, and im hyper as ever still, for the past 2 months i have not been able to sleep, and when i do sleep i sleep to much, what is rong with me? am i going insane???
(link)
you might be going insane.



no im playing.


its summer dont worry about it. your probably just off your sleeping schdule. try to cut out the caffeine from your diet and dont eat alot of sweets that have alot of sugar because that can make yu hyper and not tired. about the whole sleeping too much thing...it prolly cuz on the nights youy dont sleep your body gets tired so when yu do sleep your body takes advantage of that.


if this continues for a long time though, i would tell your parents or a doctor. not that nething is wrong with you, just because they may want to give you like sleeping pills or soemthing to help you sleep better


ok so i always wear pretty much the same color make-up every day and i really wanna try something new does ne one have suggestions? like what color eye shadows and eyeliners would look good? thanks

i have light brown hair and light green eyes if that helps = ] (link)
well i know that with brown hair they usually say green. but with green eyes they say blue. so i would say look for a bluish-greenish color for eye shadow.:} stick with black eyeliner.


hope i helped!!


I am way too vain. I worry all the time about whether I'm pretty or not. It's ridiculous, and I know it. How do I stop worrying about the way I look so much? (link)
be comfterable in your own skin. just dont be so obsesive over it. everyone has flaws or things they dont like about themselves and sometimes you have to accept them. maybe its just you that thinks you look bad. others may think your really pretty:}.



hope i helped a little.

this one was tough.


well people i have been volenteering at the local pool with swimming lessons...and i recently had 4 classes and i got a sunburn and i need it to stop the pain...so what should i do....i hvent taken a shower yet but will it be bad if I do!please give me all the advice you can....

thanks,
meghan (link)
omg its great to take a cold shower! not cold but not hot either just like cool. and theres thi samazing stuff called aloe vera gel. its green and you can get it at a drug store or publix. anywhere bassically. and it soothes the skin and cools it down to make you feel comfterable. try ice packs also.hold it there for a while then take it off and it will still feel hot but the stingy feeling will go away. almost like its numb.

hope i helped!!!


This is going to be kinda hard to explain, so bare with me. You know how theres certain people that have really nice personalities and you just adore them, well I'm not one of those people. I guess people don't find my personality to be "likeable." I CAN'T bring up conversations with people I don't really know, and if I do, it ends up being an awkward silence. My best friend's brother thinks I'm so boring and then my best friends brother thinks her other friend is really nice and cool and fun to be around. What can I do to make people wanna talk to me more and hang out with me and like my personality? I think I'm boring too. And I know I have to be myself because that's obvious but I need more detail. (link)
first off...you cant MAKE people wanna be around you or talk to you. im sure we all wish that was possible but its not. just be comterable with yourself and dont worry about what you 'best friends brother' thinks.


Hey guys. I'm pretty pissed off. This guy I like hung out with this other guy that lives next to me, and they both came to my house and dumped a bag of mulch on my porch, just for a joke I'm guessing. Anyways, I'm kind of mad he would do that because my family has aenough porblems without him messing around with our yard. I;m just asking..is it ok to be mad? Or should I just be like oh right haha good joke? Will he think that I get mad over the stupidest things? please help. (link)
omg it is totally alright to be mad!! i would deff. be if i were you. thats rude and disrespectful of them. even though it was a joke that is like wayyy not funny. how would they like it if you did that to them?!?!



lol.

guys suck.


hope i helped!!:}


I like this guy that lives downthe street from me hes really hott and i thinkhe likes me back. he alsoalready knows that i like him. The only problem is i already have a boyfriend and i know its not good to lead him on but i love being around him even though hes a little strange all of my friends sayi should breakup with my boy friend and go with the other guy i thinkthat to but wat should i tell my boyfriend.
Im 14 15 in september
and female (link)
well if you are going to break up with your boyfriend OBVIOUSLY dont tell him that you like another guy. i think you should look at both guys and make sure that the kid down the street is the one you really want to be with. if you are sure that you want to break up with your b/f just say something along the lines of 'my feelings changed'. DONT tell him you want to be single. because chances are he will be pissd if he finds out you went out with another guy right after you told him you wanted ot be single.


hope i helped!!




What do you do when a friend for 9 years gets upset because they were told that you said something supposedly They won't talk about it. They say that they are upset and won't tell you what was said so that you can deny or explain (link)
well that situation really sucks. but honestly theres not much you can do about it. the more you bother your friend about it, the more he or she will hold back. when someone does this its because it makes them feel better about themselves when they relize other people care what they think.even though it bothers you, dont let that show. im SURE that your friend will come around and tell you. i mean, if you guys have been tight for 9 years....that says that you guys must really care and love each other.



hope i helped!!!


I know that when you are younger. Guys tease girls if they like them. Is it still the same way in your upper teens.? (link)
i personally dont think so. im my own experiences that wasnt the case. i mean i am mid-way through being a teenager and when guys that are like 14 and 15 like you they tend to just get kind of shy around you actually.

hope i helped




Hi everyone. Welll Whenever i talk to my mom about my friends and their boyfriends and like i wana talk about mine...i chicken out. I don't know what to do to tel my mom about my boufriend. Its kind of enbarresing in your personal life...my friends feel the same way as me but some girls can tell their mom anything.

What can i do to have me talk to my mom aobut my boyfriends?

thxxx ♥ ♥ ♥ (link)
well if you dont feel comfterable talking to her about it then dont!! just because your friends are doesnt mean you have to. but i fyou want to just be casual about it.


hope ii helped


ok well i found out that my best friend shane really liked me and he liked me like the whole year and i thought that was pretty kool and i kinda liked him to so i asked him out well then he was like wayy over obsessive and all and i didnt no wat to do so i dumped him 3 days later and now he seems really mad at me and its been like 2 weeks i wanna be his friend again so badly but he just doesnt wanna talk to me right now.. What should i do??? (link)
give it time!!!

maybe his feelings did change and maybe he doesnt see you as a friend any more but i thinkthe best way to show someone that you care about them i slet them know. if he is ever online or something tell him that you cared and still do care about himeven though he may not. and say youll always be there for him if he ever needs anything at all.

but dont keep bugging him about it because that will push him away even more.


hi what are some like really good excercises that i can do at home. i am trying to lose the stomach and some fat around my thighs. i dont need alot to do because im not entirely that fat. like i know you can do sit ups. but what else can i do. i walk around alot with my friends but its to hot outside to go running. what are some really good excercises that can help me loose some of the fat around my thighs and stomach? tahnk you in advance


~~Rissie (link)
some really good things to do are crunches.they workmore on your stomach muscles than sit ups do.this is how you do them:

1>lay down with your arms crossed over you chest AND PUT YOURLEGS UP LIKE YOU WERE GOING TO DO A SITUP

2>sit up only a little bit(NOT ALL HE WAY TO YOUR LEGS!!)

3> when you feel the burn in your stomach you'll know your doing them right. do about twenty every day you wil build up major muscle.


hopei helped


Okay, so I have the boyfriend, he's not the best. & I want to break up with him. Another reason why it because it's almost summer, I want to be free for summer, and maybe date some other people.

The only problem is, HOW? I mean, I'm not the type that does it herself, right in front of everyone in the hallway. But I also don't want to be the one that has to ask her friend to tell him for me. I don't think I can do it in 3 days before school ends, So it's going to have to be over the phone.

I just do want to break him down emotionally. I want to let him down easy, but either way he might be in tears. I don't want to make him sad, but I know that I have to break up with him. It's going to be so awkward. Please help.

Thanks in advance. (link)
i just broke up with this kidd who was really shy and i know how you feel. okk. my advice would be if you can...write him a note and say basically that you want to be friends. thats what i did. that way they wont be crying...and if your not a note kinda person. call him and just say..."heyy, i think we'd be better off as friends. i had a good time going out with you but its summer and i dont want to feel guilty if i flirt." lol i hope that helps
