is it bad to wear different colors of eyeliner. i wear black or brown on top and purple green or blue on bottom and bronze and glitter eyeshadow and black mascara. my mom hates it i love it my friends love it whats wrong with it. what do you people think.13/f gothic and punky~ yes OR no
and whats liquid eyeliner is it bottle or tube or what im clueless i can never find it. ~Thanks~

HI no it is not bad to wear different eye liners, it looks very unique!!!!! Also i think you mum doesn't like it as it draws quite a lot of attention to your eyes. Where i'm from, mainly punks and emo's where that sort of stuff on. But i'd suggest sticking to 1 colour as it can look very pretty! Like i stick to black eyeliner as it emphasises more on to you eyes!

I want to get my haircut soon.

At the moment it's just below the shoulder and I want to keep it that length, but I would like a style that you wear on the side. And lots of layers.

My hair always goes flat on top and sticky-outy at the bottom, so anything to avoid that.

Could anyone give e some links to a picture of a just below the shoulder, layered haircut which is on the side?

Thanks in advance, xxx

HI ihaven't exactly got any pictures, but what i suggest you say to your hairdresser is that you would like layers and feathers done, and you would like to get your layers cut quite short, as this will bring more volume to the top of your hair. trust me this will make you hair look much more stylish and trendy. Also side-fringes are in, so why not get that done to?

What is more accurate? The way you see yourself in the mirror or a picture? When I look in the mirror or see myself in a video, I look a lot different than I do in a regular picture. Why is it like that? Any ideas? Thanks!

I know that is so true!! Why do we look different in videos and then different in the mirror? I think that the mirror is more accurate because in a picutre, effects csn be added whereas mirror it is just you actally there. So basically the MIRROR is much more accurate!!!!!!

I have some pretty bad acne that i've had for a while now. It can be covered with makeup, but I still want to get rid of it. I've been to the dermatologist and taken pills, used creams, gels, etc. Nothing seems to work.

I read online that taking 2 green tea extract pills will clear acne? and also boost metabolism too? I don't care about the metabolism, I eat healthy and work out. But does it clear skin? And will this benefit or harm my inner body? Thanks!

HI what i suggest you do is do not get anything off the internet as it is all bogus! What i suggest you do is just drink plenty of wates as this is will definitely clear up your skin trust me. Also i have heard that CLEARSIL is really good for the skin, it helped and it could help you to.

Ok so my mother has been really really weird lately. About two years ago next week we lost my brother. She took it really hard but who wouldn't. So anyways she has been acting really rude to me and everyone else. She is sick a lot. She always has lots of advil and tylonel and ibeprofen in her purse. She is always wanting one and she's always always tired. We just went to the doctor and the doctor called our appointment off and when she found out she called the doctor as quick as she could and told them she needed her zanex and some other medicine for her depression. I don't doubt she needs those, but she is always taking something. Is she on drugs? Is she addicted? She is so irretable too. I can't talk to her because she won't listen anyways. She is constantly ignoring me. She acts like she hates me at times. I don't know what to do. She used to be great, but since my brother died it seems like she doesn't love me or care about me anymore. Questions:
*Is she crazy?
*Is she addicted to drugs?
*Do you think one bad accident like what we expeirenced will kill off my old mom forever?

hi what i think it is that maybe your mum is addicted to the drugs, and she is probably taking them bacuse she is still affected by your brothers death. What I suggest you do is maybe get counselling for her, or tell some of your close relatives what it happening with her, Because if your mum carries on then worse may happen, and am sure you don't want that so just do what i have told you to do.

my friend is wicked clingy. i can't go ANYWHERE without her up my ass. the thing is she has loads of friends that she hangs out with but when i try to hang out with other people, she tries to make me feel really guilty about it. i want to distance myself but i'm not sure how. help. :(

Hi what you should do is confront your freind to stop being so clingy becuase that is the best option! Who gives a damn if she makes you feel guilty, who don't you make her feel guilty then! VICE VERSA! if she was a good freind she would'nt make ufeel guilty! Am sorry but sometimes the truth hurts!

I have come to the point where I cant write, concentrate, derive pleasure from anything, have difficulty remembering things, have blurred vision, eyes seriously hurt, sometimes have severe headaches, most of the time dont know what I am talking especially with my elder brother. I have nt got father and mother I live my elder brother and his wife since 6 years. I am 26/M an MBA had a successful career but now since six months things have been deteriorating. I cant bear it any more. Plz tell me the easiest way to commit suicide which hurts less and is quick and doesnt make much of a mess.

Hi what is wrong with you? why do you want to give up your life for? If your from pakistan i take it your a muslim, and you should know that it is a sin to commit suicide and if you do, you will just go straight to hell! i strongly advise you not to commit suicide like allah says that life is a test! You should not give up so easily, there are starving little children out there without a home and a family! And you think you've got problems! Am sorry but the problems you have got right now can be sorted out, so don't give up so easily!

Okay, to start it off I'm 14 and I am a female.
I have had depression before, when I was in eigth grade, and during the end of that year it went away. Well now that I am in ninth grade, I am depressed again. I've got ADHD and I take Adderall for it. I have no self confidence, I am shy, and I'm not happy. I USE to be very confident and outgoing. Right now I am balling my eyes out, and I have no idea. I am very close with God and I've prayed about this a couple times and so has my family. I am balling my eyes out right now and I have no idea. Someone please help me, I can't stand being like this anymore.

Hi, first can i ask, how can you be depressed at 14!!!!!!!!! Anyway am sorry, what you could do, is try coucelling and maybe talk to your parents or your close mates because you letting out your problems will help you take out your emothions and maybe help you!

im scared cuz i use mascara and sometimes sleep with it and now i feel that my eyelashes are kinda getting less. i wanna know if eyelashes do grow back am scared help plz

HI, erm what i suggest you do is make sureyou take your mascara off when you go sleep and also try avoiding putting it on everyday! And am sorry to tell you but eye lashes don't grow back! Also why don't you try putting of eye liner instead of mascara everyday because this emphasises your eyes!

Ok, so I am 17/f and I was with this guy from 8th grade until April of last year, so for 2 and a half years we were together. When we broke up it broke my heart, we continued talking and I have a strong bond with his mother and his siblings, so we have remained in touch. Well the other night we were hanging out and he we were driving and he said to me the 3 reasons why we never lasted as a couple, he said because I play around too much, I ask too many questions and because I hit him once. So I was thinking that maybe if I stop doing those things he would take me back, because he was saying all kinds of things to me last night that he hasn't said to me since we were dating, like he kept calling me beautiful and pretty and gorgeous so I was wondering, does it sound to you like I have a chance if I change my ways a little??? Also he decided just to start telling me all kinds of things he likes, and what he doesn't like. It was very random, but he kept telling me like what he likes when girls do and what he doesn't like, what do you guys think????

Hi, what i suggest is that if your boyfreind genually wants to get back together with you then he will make the first move. But i think you should not change yourself for anyone because if your bf loved you he would not want you to change, so maybe if you do want to change them thingsd like hitting him, you could but i suggest you don't change yourself for anyone because one day someone will love you the way you are.

I have this friend, and I've known her for... my whole life, however I'm not sure how much I can trust her with things, because I don't feel like her friend sometimes. I feel as if I'm second best; a last resort. If I'm there, I'm always there: reliable as always. It's like she considers me around to serve a purpose, and once that purpose is gone she doesn't want me any more. I need to know how to communicate this to her, and not make her angry/annoyed with me, and make her think I'm just being harsh and overly sensitive. I'm not going to just drop her, because I really do care about her, I just need to know how to speak with her about it.

Hi, erm what i suggest what you do is just confront your freind because that is just the best option! don't say it 2 her in a bitchy way but pretend your having a conversation then bring it up! Because that way she'll know your being genuine!

When I walk in the hallways at school, I always have that "tired" look. And people tell me it looks evil, like I am some boring, mean person. It's because I am always tired. I can't help but have a plain look on my face, but when I don't smile I look scary! I think that's why I can't make a lot of friends because they assume I just hate everyone.

What can I do?? I can smile but I don't want to look like a hyper and happy girl with a smile on her face 24/7. How can I look friendly without scaring people or looking weird?

Thanks

hi i know his is weird but it is the same with my freind and all! people always say why are you giving an evil look for! Anyway what i suggest you should do is just pout! Cos that way you look cool and most models do pout!

I have a boyfriend and we have been together for almost 6 months now. I moved away from him a few months ago. We promised that we would still be together even tho I live in Central America while he still lives in Canada. I have been away from him for 4 months now! I will be moving back to Canada in 2 months. We both knew that I would only be gone for 6 months. Thats why we chose to stay together! I know he isnt cheating on me or doing anything that would hurt me because he isnt that kind of person. I really love him and I dont want to lose him, but i feel that I am. We have been pretty steady for the last 6 months of us being together but lately things havent been going to well. We havent talked him weeks and if we do it isnt much of a conversation because we are not around each other and we do not see what each of us is doing. We have talked about everything for the last 4 months. Thats all we have done is talk. So now we have nothing to talk about. We both try to start conversations but they die so quickly. It makes me really sad. What should I do? I really like him and I dont want things to end between us, I know he doesnt either. Please help!

hi i think maybe that you can't probably talk to each other on the phone but when you move back to canada the spark may come back! so don't worry he is probably just missing you and he just probably wants to see you!

19/F
Ok this seems long and soap-opera-ish but please bear with me. I’ve gotten rid of some of the details to make it shorter but please tell me if it isn’t clear enough. And please don't rant at me about being a cheating b**** or anything. I know I am a bad bad person. I just need you to tell me what to do.
Nate has always been the typical "rich bad boy" type. He gets a pack mentality when he is with his boys so he’s labeled an official ***hole. He's had a pretty bad past and when you get him alone, he’s different. He and I go a few years back when I wasn't into the party scene, and it got around that he "wanted" me. I shot that down and he gave up. I've been intrigued by him (i.e. had a crush on him) and we always used to exchange looks all the time at school and parties and I could feel the sizzles (but wasn’t sure it was mutual). Only last year did we start talking a bit inside and outside school. Then I finished school and didn’t see him.
In May, I met Blake. He’s ridiculously good-looking, the sweetest guy ever, and a cook. I didn’t think he was into me so I backed off then recently, Blake started showing interest in me and I was thrilled. We were perfect for each other, our life goals and views were the same, we had minor arguments sometimes, which ended with practically no resentment on either end, and we always made up quickly. It was the perfect relationship. I was still a virgin but he understood because he had only been with one chick (his year-long girlfriend in grade 11).
End of last year, Nate and I ended up at a party together. I was hammered out of my mind and we had sex in a bedroom. It was harsh to the point that he did it, shoved me away and left. I was broken after. Eventually, I told Blake and he was mostly sad for me and he did whatever he could to make me feel better. Including sex and it was just like the rest of our relationship, comfortable.
Then one day, Nate showed up at my house after I saw him at the mall and went home all shaken up. We had sex. We have had sex about five times now altogether. Usually it’s when I’m vunerable. It’s pretty much casual sex but it is explosive as in really really hot, stuff I thought didn’t exist outside novels. Blake and I haven’t even come close, even though there is some sizzle, it isn’t comparable. Told Blake once and he was mad but he came back and told me he’d still have me and he didn’t understand. Usually Nate just has sex with me and sticks around for a while and leaves but one time, he actually stayed after and kissed my face and stuff.
This is what confuses me. Blake and I are perfect for each other and it’s not a completely devoid of sexual drive either but when I’m with Nate, it feels right like it’s exactly where I belong.
I’m just so afraid of hurting Blake. I want to stay with him but at the same time, I feel like puking when I think about what a disgusting unfaithful slut I’m being. And I’m pretty sure Nate doesn’t want a relationship. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to look back twenty years from now and regret it. I know that bad boy’s can’t be tamed but I know his history and I kind of still ache for Nate but Blake is just perfect.
Help?

Hi, yes you are doing wrong by cheating but then again you may not be able to help it. Have you ever thought that maybe that Blake is not the 1 for you and you might just like him as a freind, but whereas nate is just using you. i suggest you sort out your act and choose who you want because you will end up hurting someone. i know the truth hurts but it is true you are showing a bit of slutty behaviour ( not in a bitchy way) am sorry!

Here goes:
I’m 14/f and my best friend is 14/m and gay. We’ve been friends for over a year which is the longest time my bff [let’s call him Chris] has kept anyone as a best friend. But anywhos, I have this very frivolous and talkative personality when I’m around people but that’s a problem…Chris doesn’t want to talk about serious things with me. He goes to 2 other people and that kind of hurts me. But then I can’t blame him but I still want to be the person he turns to when he has a problem and not just a person he sees as all talkative and clumsy. Is there any way I can maybe steer him to talk to me about serious things without actually sitting down and talking to him about it? Thanks =]

HI maybe what you could do is confide in him, and if you confide in him he might be able to tell you stuff, However, how about changing your attitude towards him, by making less jokes or talking to him about more relevant stuff, and that way he may take you serious and that might be able for him to turn to you, and not anybody else.

ok so i really really want to get my belly button pierced but i'm kinda worried that it might hurt..a lot. i don't do well with pain. also does it matter if your stomach is flat or has a little flab?

thanks in advance :]

Hi, have you got your ears pierced? well if you have your belly done it is kind of like getting you ear done, so it doesb't hurt that much also they actually put something on the belly so it numbs the pain. and no it doesn't matter if your tummy is flat or if it has a bit of flab on it!

i had a best friend
i then became friends with another girl who was going through a very hard time. i was there for her sooo much it was unbeleiveable.
my best friend didnt like my new friend and was constantly bitching about her to my face. my new friend didnt like my best friend and so was also bitching about her to my face. so i was stuck in the middle. however eventually we all became 3 good friends. then i went away for the weekend and my "best friend" got pissed off as i didnt invite her... its as if im not allowed to go away by myself!!
so anyway when i came back my 2 friends were soo quleaky and completly left me out. i would go home and just cry sometimes because there was nothing i could do. everytime id ask them why they were being like that theyd say that i was over reacting and it was me who didnt ever try and get involved. but evertime i did they would cut me short. i became so miserable at school that i dreaded going. i had no idea why they were being like this. then i found out that my ex best friend was pissed cus i went away wihtout her... so i confronted her aboout it and then we stopped talking and i didnt sit with them at lunch ect because i was sick of them treating me how they did.
then out of the blue my ex best friend texed me saying she hated us not talking and never wanted that to happen and she wished we could be friends again. i was like wow but they have done so much shit to me i dont wana run back to them.
i texed her back saying that i never wanted to not be friends either ect and i said we needded to talk. but still in school we dont talk and on msn its more like shes trying to find out what im doing as a competition rather than shes interested... like shell ask me if im going to this party and that ect....

what do i do? i just hate the bitchyness the whole time and its really getting me down... please please someone help.

hi, well there is crealy nothing you can do about the bitchiness, because at the end of the daycevery girl bitchs about everyone@ to tell the truth so do i! Anyway if your freinds keep on leaving you out all ican tell u is that they musn't be your real freinds probably using you why not try making new freinds?
