Q: how can i get my eye makeup to look like hers.

Well I'm thinking you should get an eyeliner pencil in black. Then line all around your eyes. If it doesnt look as dark then do it again. Then get a black (or really dark brown or dark drey) eyeshadow and apply it to the lids. And that should do it

Q: my name is Rachel and iam 18 years old and my 26 year old siter is bi and i didn't find out until recentally my other 24 year old sister told me and iam under so much shock right now how do i get over the shock of finding out my sister is bi?
How do i help my sister?

What do you mean by "how do i help my sister?". Do you want to help her come out more or just support her? If thats the case, you just should love her and maybe help her find a girlfriend or boyfriend. Its not a big deal. And I'm sure she just wants to be happy. Theres nothing wrong with her, she just likes girls and guys. So dont be in shock

Q: lets say this guy I like is leaving a classroom. we are in the same class. Well it was time to go on the next hour and there was someone in front of me, he opened the door and waited until i got out.

does this mean he likes me??

I've had a crush on him for a long time and I think he might know... but what should i do?

It could mean that he likes you. It could mean nothing except that he was trying to be a gentleman. But I wouldnt know because I dont know the situation between you two. But to get this cleared up, just because a guy is nice to you doesnt mean he likes you. But this guy might like you so good luck

Q: What, exactly, does friends with benefits mean?

Friends with benefits. You are friends. With benefits. Meaning you dont have a serious relationship, theres no commitment, no dating, no feelings involved. And you make out or have sex or whatever.

Q: I'm a teenage girl who has been overweight (and, at times, obese) for her whole life. I am now only about 20 pounds overweight, and I look good because I'm an hourglass body type. But I feel like people view me as "this fat redheaded girl" instead of a normal person and it makes me very depressed and inhibited and self-conscious.

My main problem is my obsession with my body and my weight. For my whole life (even as a 3-year-old) all I have ever been able to think is "oh my god im sosososososo fat and disgusting. ew. my thighs are so gross ohmygodddd and my stomach hangs over my shorts EW!" and those are the constant thoughts going through my head. (meaning that I don't think normal thoughts like "oh what a pretty day" or "i can't wait to go shopping this weekend"

It seems like other overweight people I know are perfectly happy and don't seem to view themselves as different. I'm afraid to talk to people because i can't bare the thought of them judging me because of 20 pounds.

Everyone else in my town is anorexic and perfect and athletic (i live in a rich town). So maybe that contributes to it?

I'm also on a diet right now and I want to know if it's normal for me to only think about my diet and how many calories I'm consuming, etc. Like literally these are the only thoughts that go through my head all day: "oh my god i can't eat doritos even though everyone else is, i'm fat and disgusting and it will make me gain weight. how many calories does this have in it? i wonder if 1200 is too many. What if 1500 is too many? Ew everyone else is eating cake. I wish i could. Ew i'm so gross and fat and ew. Ew my thighs are still exploding into each other. I'm going to work out for 20200229882 hours today because i ate like one broccoli sprig too many."

and just please tell me if this is normal.

I am extremely sorry that you feel that way because I am sure that you are a beautiful girl. Its pretty normal for people to put themselves down, but they shouldnt. And you might do it too much.

Its good to try to be healthy, but when you take it too far, thats bad. Try going on a diet but eat some sweets occasionally. Maybe buy a pack of mini candy bars and eat one a day. That way you aren't starving yourself and your not gaining weight either.

But then again, you dont have to loose weight. You just need to gain confidence. I want you to look in the mirror and pick out one thing you like about yourself everday. If eventually, you cant find something, look really hard and look at your personality and make sure you do it everyday. Hang out with people who will make you happy and will make you feel good about yourself.

I really hope you stop feeling like this because its no way to live. Again, I'm sure you are a beautiful girl on the outside and the inside and you just need to realize that yourself.

Q: well i started to talk to this boy and then a couple months later i realized i like him....... ALOT. but i never knew his age now that i do know it bothers me. hes a seventh grader when im a sophmore. what should i do?

-Alyssia G

One question. Do you like him so much that you are willing to take the risk of what ever may come? If yes then you date him. If no, you just be friends with him. Its that easy

Q: 15/f

Is it worth it to wait till I'm done high school to start dating again?

I got this idea from my friend, since most guys in high school ( in mine/hers anyway ) are absolute idiots, whether it be logically, academically, or just in general.

I think that if you find a guy you like then date him. Dont not date him because your both still in highschool. Thats stupid if you ask me

Q: I have an older cat, and after using an automatic litter box he became afraid. he now uses the bathtub, to pee and poops all over the house. How can i retrain him to use the litter box again? someone told me to use foil, so I lined the bathtub to keep him out, but he moved the foil and went under it. I am desperate because my husband wants to kill him litterly

Oo that sucks. Pets can be a pain sometimes but we love them anyway.

First off, when the cat goes in the tub yell at him. And carry him out and into the litter box. Try to make him comfortable in his new litterbox by being near him and petting him. Watch him all the time when your home. Try to carry him to the litter box every hour, if possible. When he does go in the litter box praise him and give him a kitty treat if he likes those. When you leave the house, keep him in one room with water, food and a litter box. If that doesnt work, try getting a non automatic litter box.

Q: I told this girl a secret and she is going in the halls and screaming I know your secret. Help

Hahaha damn that sucks. I suggest asking her politely to not tell your secret. Say that you were trusting her so she needs to keep that trust by not telling anyone your secret. If that doesn't work then you could always threaten to tell everyone one of her secrets.

Q: so i want to re-do my room. i want it to be kind of vintage/black and white. so i'm thinking of having all the walls white with black border on top and bottom plus on my big wall like the siloutte of a dead tree (all black) with one red apple hanging from one branch. i'm also thinking a lot of black and white photos framed on my other walls. and hanging records up- any other ideas??? thanks!

I saw this idea in a magazine. Put pictures to make like a short movie on your wall. The example in the magazine had 3 pictures of a couple kissing. The first picture they were talking, the 2nd they were getting closer and about to kiss and the last was them actually kissing. On the sides of the pictures looked like film. And they were big, like poster board sized. So try something like that. Oh and make the pictures old looking. Try a funky comforter. Maybe a red polka dotted one.

Q: I really want a kiss. I'm straight, yet somehow I've only ever kissed girls.
How can I get a guy to kiss me???

Heres a suggestion. Don't get a guy to kiss you. Kiss one. But flirt and get him interesting and wait for him to kiss you or kiss him or wait to date a guy and kiss that guy or play spin the bottle at a party.

Q: There is this guy who I am absolutely in love with. The problem is, we are "just friends". I really want him to notice me, but I don't think he will ever see me as more than a friend. HE thinks I'm really funny, really smart, and nice. I want him to notice me really really bad. And if your going to tell me its "just a phase" or to "get over it" don't respond to this. CAuse i love this boy.

Aw thats cute. I think you should flirt with him a lot. Then tell him how you feel. If hes worth loving then he will either love you back or will be cool about it even though he may not feel the same way back. But the only way of knowing how he feels is if you ask him, and tell him how you feel. If he thinks that your funny, nice, and smart then hes half way there.

Q: Well as some as you might know, ive been dating this guy for 4 months. I dont know if its natural but he keeps flirting and flirting and flirting! I get SO mad, and this one girl specificly, and i know it, likes him. She always is flirting with him and smiling at him and sometimes even winking?! Wow. should i confront the girl or even my boyfriend that it bothers me?

Talk to your boyfriend. Tell him how you feel and that you would appreciate if he stops. As for the girl, she doesnt matter as long as your boyfriend doesnt flirt or like her back.

Q: OKAY. well I like REALLY so badly want a trampoline and its like not even funnyy like i am obssesed over it SOO much but my parents never listen. I am only 13 and they say i cant get one because its dangerous..
i keep trying to convince them but i am running out of options.. I KNOWW I KNOWW its dangerous but still i know how to be careful :-)

alsoo... they think i will enjoy for a week and then forget about it like i did with my old tether-ball i had.. BUT i didnt even want the tether ball they just got it for my brithday. AND my cousin broke it. but this is totally different and they dont understand that i will be on it everyday.. they dont trust me.

SO I NEED ADVICE.. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY OTHER WAY THAT I CAN CONCVINCE THEM? OR LET THEM TRUST ME ? I TYRED TALKING TO THEM 34958439075 TIMES BUT IT DOESNT WORK SOO HELPPPP

Well, I had a trompoline that had a LOT of padding, a net AND rubber-band-like springs. There was no way I was getting hurt on that thing and thats why my parents went for it so try asking about that. We got it at sports authority.

Q: when people r talkin about hvin sex and they say they have an orgasm...wats it mean

Its like a really good feeling (so i'm told) during sex. If that didnt clear it up then go here:

Q: okay so ijust broke up with my boyfriend a couple days ago cause he cheated on me.
so tonight i decide to go out on a date with another guy. Turns out hes really nice and sweet, but im not going to rush into a relationship. But if
i do decide to go for this boy theres a problem hes 15 and im 13 and hes black and im white.
my mom woulldddd flip see i dont care about the whole white black relationship im not rasict and my mom isnt either she just has always said she didnt want me to date black guys idk why so what do i do

Here is what you do. You date him and don't give in when your mom says you can't. When its something that unreasonable, then you just shouldnt listen to your parents. Parents think that they ALWAYS know whats best for their kids, but they really don't. And this is an example of that

Q: can drinking a lot of water everyday make you lose weight?

If you drink water instead of the normal coke or juice then yes. I dont know if just drinking a lot of water will make you loose weight. Probably a little tinybit because it flushes your system.

Q: my dog has cancer and she is going to die soon
my parents keep saying that they are going to get another puppy.. but they never do
what are some good kinds of dogs?
- not a small dog
- dont shed a lot
- kind of similar to an american bull dog
(which is what i have now)

thanks!

I'm really sorry about your dog. My dog died this year and it was really hard for me so I understand how you must feel.

Some dogs that remind me of American Bull Dogs:
American Bandogge Mastiff, American Bull Molosser, Australian Bulldog, Beabull, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Bull Boxer, and theres probably more but i'm tired of looking.

Q: im 15/f hes 15/m

okay so sometimes i like him..
sometimes i dont. but when i like him i LOVE him so much and think hes the greatest guy in the whole world. sometimes i just get annoyed with him or i feel like im not attracted to him anymore. what should i do?

p.s. weve been going out for almost a year

Well I think that its a bad sign that sometimes you don't like him. I thiink that if you're going to be in a relationship then you need to like him. Always. But its really up to you. Which feeling is stronger, the loving or the not liking? If its the not liking then i suggest breaking up with him

Q: Okay me and my boyfriend weve been going out for a while and im not aloud over at his house im aloud doing everything else but not aloud going over to his house... ive tried convinsiing them and everything and they think its not right for a girl to go to a guys house and I really dont get that can someone please help me what could I do so they could say yes. And by the way im 16.

Thank you ,
Betty.

Tell them they can trust you and that you wont do anything. Ask your boyfriends parents if they can stay at the house the whole time, and if yes tell your parents that they will be. And if they are still concerned, they can talk to the parents.
