everytime i am around people, im constantly looking in mirrors and if i see a major flaw i cant have as much fun the rest of the time im with them if i know i cant fix it right then! also when i dont have makeup on or it rubs off because of sweat, im embarassed and dont want guys to look at me and i kinda sit there staring into space. i also look in my reflection into car windows when im walking to my boyfriends house..and its gotten so bad that last week i saw my reflection and realized my makeup looked orange so i ran back home and told him i could hang out anymore!! how do i stop obsessing over looking bad? well.. ANY advice on this topic will be appreciated!

okay.
this may have NOTHING to do with you.
but i recently read something in a magazine about a thing called 'bdd'.
where you constantly over obsess about the way you look.
to the breaking point, of not leaving the house.
& you can't focus on anything else.
i'm not saying you have it.
and i'm not accusing you.
it just sounds like 'bdd' in an early stage.
but maybe you should read up on it, just in case.

http://www.healthyplace.com/Communities/Eating_Disorders/peacelovehope/bdd.html
..is a site about it.

but to help you stop.
when people compliment you, take it in.
even compliment yourself.
each day, tell yourself something you see that you like.
&
try to stop yourself from looking in those mirrors.
maybe even cover mirrors when you don't NEED them.

My dad pasted away from leukemia 4 months and 10 days ago (March 1st). Well right now, we're (my mom, brother, and I) in Ireland visiting family. We've been here for about 3 weeks. Well for then past 2 weeks my mom has been acting very different and forgetful. When she goes to do the dishes or something, when she's done, she'll come and sit down then get up and say that she needs to do the dishes. When she gets into the kitchen and sees that there are no dishes (because she already did them) she'll ask "Who did the dishes? I was about to do them!" It's so weird. She'll also repeats herself all the time and never wants to go out or do anything.


We're all so worried about her but we don't know what to do. My family members want us to get her to see a specialist here in Ireland but my brother and I want to cut our trip short and deal with it once we get back to the states. We don't know which is better.


At first we thought she's like this because of the loss of my dad but she's gone over 4 months without anything weird like this so why now? Any help?

i can't say what's wrong with your mom.
but she's probably living in the past.
if that makes any sense.
i know that you know how hard it was to lose your dad.
and maybe your mom just wants to forget about everything and go back, now that's he's not in the present anymore.


above all though, i agree that she should see a specialist somewhere.
i personally, would say in the states.
because she'd feel more comfortable at home.

though, she may neeed her family's support.
and you & your brother may also.
so if most family is in Ireland, then i'd suggest staying for a while longer.
but if you have family near you, then i think going back to the states would be the right thing to do.

well, me and my boyfriend have been going out for 6months now. In the beginning everythign was all good. BUt now were always with each other and were always fighting and he always makes me the bad guy. i feel so bad when we fight, and i feel like our relationship is going down hill. i just need advice on how to keep our relationship together thanx

okay. first of all.
you said that you're always together.
maybe you both need some space.
why don't you go out with some other friends.
and let him do the same.
maybe you guys are just spending a little too much time together.
the fun part of a relationship is learnin new things about the other person.
it's almost what keeps the relationship growing.
so, take some time away from him.
i'm not saying break up, just do more things on your own.


second of all.
all relationships have problem.
it's healthy not to agree on everything.
but when you do start fighting a lot.
a good thing is to remember when you like him in the first place.
why you started going out with him.
remember the good things, through the bad times.
until you can work things out.



and third.
tell him how you feel.
tell him that you're tired of fighting.
tell him you want to work things out.
if he doesnt, his loss.
don't kill yourself trying to make things work.
i've done it before.
& all it gets you is an off and on, or a goodfornothing relationship.


hope i helped you.
♥ Savanna.

Okay I was with the guy for over a year. On and off. And this is our third try. I'm pretty sure he liked some other chick.. but couldn't get with her and then asked me out. I feel stupid and yeah.. I don't know what to do.. because he doesn't really call me. He talks to his other friends on the phone and puts me on hold. :\ And he doesn't really show or tell me that he likes me or that he's happy with me.. or anything like that. So i really don't know what's going on. It's just.. "BYE" and I feel like he likes the other girl...and not me anymore. I don't know what to do because I'm not really sure I'm right.

maybe you should ask him about it.
don't accuse him. but just ask.
if you don't get any answers.
then try to be in the same place with him & friends.
maybe even the other girl.
that way you can see if he blows you off for her
or for his friends.
i agree that he may just be using you.
to say he has a girlfriend, or to get the other girl jealous.
and id he is, you should end it soon.

hope i helped. :D

okay. i need to talk to someone and none of my friends can really help. my parents are divorced and i dont see my dad very often. i live with my mother who is an alcoholic and gets pissed off easliy. today my brother and mom got into a huge fight. she is now gone, i mean she just left. i called her and she said that she just needed to be alone. she hasnt returned yet, and i dont know what to do. i am only 14 and my brother 11. she is most likely going to come home incredibly drunk and when she is drunk life just sucks... i dont know what to do anymore because i am just sick of it. this isnt the first time she has just left......

i know how you feel i see my dad about 4 times a year and my mom doesnt understand the way i feel about it, of course my mom doesnt get drunk all that much. i think you sohuld call your dad or a grandparent or even a really close friend or something and talk to them about how your feeling, because most likely they can help you. another thing is not to get your mom mad while shes drunk because when people are drunk you dont want them driving or fighting so try to just stay clam. if you ever need to talk just IM me and ill be here to talk to you vanna763

I need a work-out routine that will make me loose a little weaight, but I want more like a flatter stomach (I'm really stressed & thats where the stress seems to go) & a 6-pack, & maby some arm musscle, I'm fairly thin, I'm 14/M & I'm about 5'2 & I weaigh about 110 or 115, & I'm not doing this cos I wanna be on a sports team, but cos I'm made-fun of alot, & I think if I possibuly looked better, maby that would decreese, so alls I want is some arms mussles, a flater stomach, & a 6-pack. & I wanted to know a good routine that I could use for that & a good diet. I'm 14 & so I don't have SO much accses, like I can't go to the gym, but I can go for walks & stuff

thanks!

well heres a tip from me. whenever i work out i always try to make it fun for me to do, like i run with headphones on or make dances to fast- beat songs and that give you a workout.push up work and crunches. 100 sit up everynight, which sounds hard but really isnt i mean watch t.v. while your doing it. if swimming is available do that. swimming is fun :) just swim some laps and that should shape up your body also. play sports. guys like sports. there are so many different options. hope i helped :)

Ok so on Friday i am going to my freinds house for a "movie night" we're going to paly volleyball outside earlier and then later we're going to watch hide and seek. well no big deal. she invited 4 guys and 3 girls (shes the 4th girl). well its kinda like a paired off thing. she invited couples. except for me. she invited this guy. i kind of like him i guess. same with him. he told my freind he kind of likes me. well i dont know i thnk it's goign to br really weird. because all the other people are goign ot be with their girl/boyfreind and then there will be me and this guy. i like him and all but i dont know i think it will be weird.and im kind of worried that he's gonna like try something, because thats just the the kind of guy he is...so i guess i dont know what to do.
((14/f))

if you don't want to do anything with this guy don't do it. push him away when he trys to make a move. or if you like him just go with it. but if you don't like him then don't let him try anything.

hope i helped a little :)

This year I wasn't doing so well in school. I failed 2 classes! My mom got sooo mad at me! So she put me in Summer School. Ughhh! I got so mad at her, I failed Summer School on purpose because I was so angry I had to do it. 3 days ago my mom got my Summer School Report Card. I'm grounded for the rest of the summer. I can do stuff still, but no sleepovers. But then I told my mom Summer School was hard for me. So, now I'm not grounded. But now I feel like I'm on the spot.. and I regret what I did. What should I do?? =/



x- Lauren -x


well since the things you've done are already in the past and we all know we cant change the past :( then all you can do is work extremely hard next year and prove your mom wrong that you CAN succed :). hope i helped a little

ok i have this g/f and i really care for her and i even love her but i dont think she understands exactly how much i care she is always flirtin with other boys and she gots mad at me all the time and i dont kno wat to do she says she really cares for me too and at times she shows it but at other times i fill like im not even datin her i have tried to tell her and talk to her but then she gits mad at me...please help me

let her know how much you care.talk to her about it but dont be demanding or anything. just let her know that BOTH OF YOU have been sort of growing apart and that you guys need to get together and do something, like go out on a date, or stay at home and cuddle up to watch movies, either way. trust me i've been in the GIRLS part of the story. all i needed was for someone to confront me, and yes i did get mad at first, but i liked this guy, and i relized you know maybe i just need to look at it in his point of view. jut try a night or day out together.

hope i helped

Ok I'm 13/f and I have a crush on someone. I never have in my entire life. I refuse to tell anyone because I feel really guilty and I'm worried people will make fun of me because everyone thinks I'm a nerd. I should be focusing on getting into the Honor Choir and straight A's, not boys! Is it a bad thing? It would be really cool if someone can give me some info! thx

THATS NOT A BAD THING. thats perfectly normal. in fact iits surprising youu've never liked a guy before him. guys don't always take you away from making straight A's. i have a boyfriend, im not a nerd, and i make A's & B's. and tell the other kiss to kiss your ass cause you can like whoever you want. & when the right guy comes along hes not gonna care if your nerdy or not. hope i helped

Okay my question might be kinda long but there is this guy in my grade and i really like him and we're like best friends.. he tells me that somedays he likes me and other days he doesnt and then one night he kissed me and he told me how much he liked me and now i just cant stop thinking about him and i just really like him but its summer and i dont think he feels the same way as i do anymore but i dont want to ask him like straight up if he still likes me or not but when my friend asked him if he still liked me he said he didnt know. I know that he's interested in other girls right now but it seems like when ever he's around me he really likes me a lot and only me.. I'm really confused and i need advice.. please help!

ok. sounds like he likes you but he doesnt want a relationship. they key to this one is:: dont give up let him know that you're interested and see if he wants you back. do something that doesnt involve kissing and see if he's still interested. just dont give up because he may just be shy and not want to admit he likes you.

well all of my friends wear special underwear, thongs, and i dont like them ,but i dont wanna tell them that, they'll call me granny, but im also not allowed to wear them, and when i do i feel uncomfortable and guilty thinking wut would my parents think if they know im wearing them, HELP ME!

it doesnt matter what they think. if you dont like thongs dont wear them. so what if they call you granny?. there so many other ways to be sexy and to look good without wearing a thong. find really cute or sexy underwear that isnt a thong. hope i helped =)

My boyfriend of over two years is in the Navy. We're working on a long distance relationship and we have gotten so much closer, it's unbelievable. I'm going to visit him in 18 days where he's stationed in Florida, and I'm going to be there for almost two weeks. I want these two weeks to be the best ever. Any suggestions on what I can do to make it awesome? What kinda things can we do, or what can I say/do to show him my feelings haven't changed? I want this to be perfect. =)

1st of all o just wanna say that you & him together after him being in the navy is great.

i think the idea of snuggling up at one of yalls house ( or if you live together yall house) and watch movies and eat popcorn under a blanket. and just hangout. no need for this make-out session just to something that you both love to do whether its watching movies or going to the arcade or going sit under a tree and having a picnic. get creative =)

hope i helped a little =)
