I first have to comment that you're very pretty. You'd probably look nice regardless of make-up. I would probably try to match the make-up with the dress.

I would go with some black eyeliner and mascara and a glittery blue close to the color of your dress. A clear gloss will go nice too. My favorite brand of make-up is Maybelline, so being biased, I'm suggesting you get theirs, haha. You can get their make-up at Walmart, Kmart, or any drugstore.

For jewelry, you can go to Pacsun.com and click on accessories. They have a lot of nice jewelry. I always get stuff there.

Well, I'm going to try to cover several possible scenarios, because there are many things that could be happening.

Is there going to be another church retreat? Are you going to see him at church? If so, he may just think he's going to see you next week. He also may have thought it was inappropriate to ask your number seeing as you two just met that day.

It's possible you could have said something that would make him think you're not interested in him. Also, for most guys, unless you flat out say you like them, they'll never understand. My guy friends can't stress this enough.

Last time I brought a guy friend my problem his advice was "Aah. We guys are dumb. I know because I am one. You have to tell him. OH! OH! Even better, draw him a picture. With a cave. And write that you like him on it. And make it shiny. Yeah. That'll get the point across!" So if you didn't get your point across, that could of been his reasons for just leaving as well.

You mentioned he tried to kiss you? What happened? Did you reject the kiss or somehow stop him? If you did, that probably would have made him think you had no intentions of being more than friends and he could of felt hurt by that. He may be sensitive. It's also possible he could have been distracted and forgot to ask. He could be at home kicking himself for forgetting to ask your number this very moment.

The only other thing is that maybe he's just a flirt. We refer to this type as the lady's man. They flirt with one girl, then move on to the next. In extreme cases, they flirt with several girls in one day, and around "miss yesterday"! Hoping that's not the case, because I'm sick of all guys like that, haha.

Well. I hope I was able to help. If you have any thing else to ask, or have more details to add, let me know!

It's just a number. I weigh around 120 - 125 and I look like I'm 105 - 110.

Honestly, it depends on your height. If you are short, you may look more, if you are tall, you may look less. Also, you are 13. Most teenage girls think they're overweight and you're probably going through a stage of puberty where a little weight gain is involved.

For exercising, take a walk. Go swimming. Do some jumping jacks. Just try and stay active. If you find out about any sports at school, sign up! You'll make new friends, have fun, and get exercise all at the same time.

No, there's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing weird about your question at all. I don't really think guys care about the size of the "lips". It really doesn't change anything about the person.

Also, most guys are so happy to get down there that they aren't even worried about that sort of thing.

Hmm. I'd go for a thrift store. Sometimes you can find some really nice things there. Also, go to your favorite clothing store. Almost all stores have a clearance section. You can get a bunch of cute clothes on clearance for as much as half the price.

I like department stores like TJMaxx, Kohl's, Dillard's, or Macy's when I'm looking for cheap clothes. Stores like Rave Girl, Forever21, and Old Navy are also pretty cheap.

Good luck and have fun on your trip!

Chanel.com is the official Chanel site with their merchandise on it.

Hope you find what you need!

I have ADD, and I've been diagnosed for a few months now. They put me on Concerta, and I can concentrate so much better! If you have ADD, you'll be amazed at how much better you feel once they get you on medication.

The advice I have for you is to relax. Whoever tests you has done this before. Most of the questions are academic. They won't tell you if it's right or wrong, so don't worry about. Just do your best, be yourself, answer questions as you get them.

What they do is give you an IQ test. You'll have math and have to solve puzzles. I'm not sure the lady who tested me even knew what I was being tested for, because she just had to give results to a doctor.

Good luck and ADD doesn't make you psychotic, haha. There are a lot worse things you can be! If you need help with anything else, let me know.

If you think you might like her, you should get to know her a little better. If you have a lot in common, or find that whatever feelings you think you may have are expanding, go out on a date with her.

Maybe you should hang out with her sometime, as friends, and see if you like her more.

Good luck. Let me know if you need anything.

The most attractive thing a person can do is be themselves. So foremost, do that. No one likes when a person comes across as fake. Be confident. Almost every guy I know finds confidence sexy.

Make sure this guy knows that you care about what he is saying. Smile when he's talking. That is usually a sign that you're listening and care. Look him in the eyes when he speaks.

Lightly touch him on the shoulder when you two are talking. Just a few times, and do it when you're making a point or laughing at something he said. Also, don't argue with him, unless it's playfully. Be sure not to take it too far.

Whispering in his ear or mimicing some of the things he does (not all of them) are a few good things to do that he may find cute.

Good luck! Let me know if you need any thing else, I'd be happy to help.

Dooney.com for the purse. Click on handbags. If you see a purse you like, click on it and you will be told the price. Most seem to cost about $325 - $350 for a medium sized purse.

The sunglasses cost, depending on the pair you're getting, anywhere from about $250 to $400 dollars. So I'm guessing you're rich, haha. Well. If you need anything else, let me know!

It depends. If you just want a journal, go for xanga. Although, as far as journals so I prefer livejournal.

If you want a place you can use as a journal and a photo album, they go for myspace.

I don't have a journal because I'm a loser like that. :) I prefer to have something to gab about with my friends and not have them reply "oh. yeah. read about that on your xanga." haha. Good luck! If you need anything, let me know.

The only thing to do is just tell him. Write him a note, email, call him, have someone else do it for you. Or you can just ignore him and let him make this huge mistake.

The only advice I have is to wait until he brings her up and say something about it. You might seem jealous if you're the one to bring it up. Good luck. Let me know if you need anything.

I used to be the same way. Now I'm trying to bring people like I used to be and like yourself out of their shell. It's a weird turn around.

I stopped being shy by recognizing my good qualities. I made a list of things I liked about myself, and things people liked about me, and hung it up in my room so whenever I felt down, I'd look at it and it remind me that there's no reason for people not to like me.

Also, when someone came up to me, the first thing I would try and do is smile. Spend some time practicing your smile in the mirror. When someone would come up to me, I'd force myself to make eye contact and smile, and I'd say a simple hi or hello so they didn't just walk right away. I also would find it helpful to compliment something about them, a shirt, shoes, earing, hair, anything positive so the person would know I'm friendly.

If someone says something to you, and you have an opinion, just voice it. The worst that can happen is that they don't like your opinion, and that's not bad because you can't please everyone. Ask the person questions about theirselves, if you're not comfortable talking about yourself. If you feel you don't have anything to say, change the subject.

If they compliment you, say thank you. Or if they ask a question, answer it. Nothing stops a conversation like a shrug or looking away. I hope I helped, and good luck! Let me know if you need anything.

Hmm. You're probably just out of shape and not overweight. I know how it feels, because right now I'm working toward getting into better shape myself right now because I want a little toning. If you're new to exercising, you'll probably see quicker results.

When you're exercising, you need to lose body fat to see results. To do this, I would suggest walking, jogging, running, or sprinting. Whatever you can do right now for about 30 minutes 4 days a week. For example, right now you could walk 30 minutes a day, but once you feel like it's not challenging you, switch to jogging, then running, then sprinting, and increase your pace often so it challenges you. Also, make some healthier choices in your eating. If you're looking around for a quick snack, and you can have chips or an apple. Take the apple. Eating more fruit and vegetables definately makes a difference.

If you have some spare money, I highly recommend this month's Shape magazine. They have a wonderful bikini body plan that I'm falling in love with because of it's hasty results.

My favorite exercise for the butt (and this is also good for your thighs) is to stand up with your legs apart to about twice hip width, raise your arms in the air (maybe hold some weights if you're up to it) and lower yourself down like you are about sit in a chair on the count of three. On the count of three, raise yourself back up. You can repeat this as many times as you want, but I usually repeat about 25 times.

Another one is to get on your hands and knees like in a dog position. With one leg, raise one leg up with your knee bent, then stretch your leg out all the way. Not to sound gross, but kind of like a dog peeing on a tree. Do this 15 times on each side.

For your abs, lie down with legs in the air in a V position, knees bent. Bend your arms, raising elbows on the floor. Sit up and try to touch the ground between the V then return to the position you were laying it. Do this 30 times. Another thing for your abs is standing with your feet apart wider than shoulder width and contracting your abs as you touch your toes. An exercise you've probably seen before for the abs is to lay on your back with your hands behind your head and elbows facing outwards with your knees bent, then sitting up and touching your elbow to the opposite knee.

For thighs, you don't have to do much if you're going to walk and do the squatting I told you about before. Something you can do is leg-lifts. Lay on you side, and slowly raise your leg up, being careful not to shift the hip, then lowering it, and doing this about 20 times on each side. A really easy thing to do for thighs is to grab a book or something and lean against the wall and slide down like you're sitting, and cross one leg. This builds a lot of strength in your legs. Your calves can be toned anywhere! Just stand on the tips of your toes and kind of bounce.

I think the best exercise for arms is push-ups. If you have weak arms, do a modified version by bending your knees and resting on them instead of your toes, or propping yourself against a doorway/wall and doing push-ups on that. I'm going to stop here, because this is getting long, and re-direct you to a great site for more exercises in case you don't like the ones I suggested. http://toneteen.com/

Good luck! If you need anything else, let me know. I apologize for this being long, but I wanted to try and cover as much as I could for you. :)

Oh no! This appears to happen a lot, and I'm very sorry. The boy probably still has feelings for you. Hell, there is even a chance he's doing it to make you jealous. After all, he doesn't seem to like her much if he finds her annoying. Have you talked to him yet? Why does he think you two broke up?


Find out. Talk to him. Let him know you still like him, then take it from there. If he is still with the other girl, remain friends with him. He will probably come back to you when he realizes that this other girl is not worth it.

Good luck! I hope I helped, and if you need anything, let me know.

Here are a few. Good luck! I hope you find what you needed. If you need anything else, feel free to stop by my advice column!

I find that bumps come from shaving too quickly. If your only option is shaving, do it slower. Also, get a venus razor. I never ever get bumps from them.

There are several other hair removal products. Nair is a popular brand. You can get hair removing lotions and waxes.

You can also try out Nads. It's a hair removing gel that removes the hair and the roots! Your hair won't grow back for weeks.

Good luck! If you need anything, feel free to come by my advice column and I'll do my best to help.

Switch up your exercise plan. Also, exercising too much can keep weight from coming off. Try eating more spices, like cinnamon, for example. Spicy foods can temporarily help your metabolism. Keep in mind the last few pounds come off the slowest and that you're just human!

Good luck, and stop by if you need anything else!

I never read The Perks of being a Wallflower but my favorite books are by V.C. Andrews. I would really recommend the Flowers in The Attic series. A lot of her books make me think, and yes, there is some discomfort, haha.

I hope I was of some help. If you need anything, let me know!

I would 100% say Proactive. It definately works. My ex-boyfriend had the worst case of acne and proactive cleared it all up beautifully in two weeks and though the whole 6 months we dated, he never had one pimple on Proactive.

I don't think The Pill would be great, because I know there's a weight gain side effect, and it's not meant for clearing up acne.

Good luck! If you need anything else, let me know.

Hi! I'm 16 year old girl and from Northeast PA. I attend school in Lackawanna county. I love animals, as you can tell by my picture of some adorable pigs.
