my mom is always saying im ugly. last sunday for church, i let my hair dry into natural curl/waves and she said it was ugly and i should brush it (badddd idea) and wear some makeup because my face looked "bad". i didnt wear earrings & she always says i look bad when i dont wear them. when i do wear makeup for other occasions she says i look like a prostitute. i dont know what to do anymore! i cant always be best dressed and miss cheerful like she was when she was my age. shes always telling me how thin she was and how everyone liked her figure just to rub it in my face that i have no womanly shape. my dad says i look ok because he sees what it does to my self esteem. everytime i get the slightest blemish, shes the first to point it out. i hate it! someone please help me! any advice will help! ill rate 5s... (link)
what your mom is doing is absolutley awful. Next time she does that, say politely "Mom, while I appreciate and respect your opinion, I have confidence in myself and the way I look, and what your saying to me really hurts my feelings" Just be honest and open, never hide what your feeling. I really hope i helped, drop one in my inbox and let me know how everything turns out


ok i have a quesiton about laguna beach. Is it real life?? wat exactly is it? lols thanks! i rate high! (link)
I looooove Laguna Beach lol=) It is a real show, basically cameras following around kids during their senior year of highschool. They picked Laguna cus the kids r extremely rich(which makes for good TV and lots of drama) and cus it's so beautiful, like all the beaches and stuff. If yu dont already watch it, start, cus its the best show everrr


ok i need some good advice here. every day i put on deorderant(soft&dri) and i still sweat perfusely and get large sweat rings. also i might add that i am allergic to the powder/white deorderant cause it gives me large rashes. Any advice on what i could do so that i dont sweat as much? -thanks (link)
I have the same exact problem. Certain dri may work for you, although it does not work for me. I plan on seeing a doctor, and yu shood too. It suck, i know. Spray - on deoderants that also say "anti perspirant" would probably be best for you. I hope everything works out for you

Girls: Do you think it would be cute for a guy to ask before kissing a girl? Would you find that cute or weird? (link)
i think it's SO cute. It shows a lot of respect. And, if he asks yu, yu know that he wants to actually kiss yu, so it shows he really likes yu!


i didnt kno wut category to put this in but o well....ok i JUST got braces and they feel really weird and i cant bite down all the way. I wanted to kno if any noe could give me some advice about braces....pls help thx! ;) (link)
I know how yu feel, i had braces bfore. Its normal, what i recommend is cut up ANYTHING yu eat, and eat it with a plastic fork. Also, ibyprofen works great to relieve yu of some of the pain. I wish yu the best, and hope yu feel better real soon=)



i need to find a job fast! im so boredd at home

does any one have any advice on how and what i should do? (link)
Well, it depends on how old yu are. If yur like 13 or 14, you might consider babysitting. Put of signs around your town, or if yu go to a church, place and add in the bulliten. If yu are older, try yur local grocery store. Yu cood bag stuff, or even work the cash register. Hope i helped=)



I'm trying to lose some weight, and I haven't noticed any results. I havent been eating much and I've been exercising everyday for a while now. Is there any way to increase my metabolism? Good diets? Exercises? Anything helpful! Thanks~~~ :D (link)
The thing about eating healthy is, you dont have to give it all up, just control your portion sizes. It's important to eat a good breakfast, cus yu burn the most calories early in the day. To get your metabolism to work faster, drink water right before a meal, thats what my doctor says works good.

As far as excersizing, crunches work great. Do like 100 a day, front and side crunches. Do them in like sets of 10, that way you dont get too tired. Walk or run a mile everyday. Dont feel like you have to jog, walking works the exact same day. Also, you can get little 3 lb. or 5 lb. weights and use them. How you use them is like this: take your arm and put it so that your elbow is sticking straight up. Then take the weight and lift it, so that yur whole arm is straight up. Do that on each arm, about 20 times. Yu will be sore the next day, but thats good, yu know it had an effect.

Just stay focused, and feeling a difference is more important than seeing one, yu just need to feel good and healhy. I hope i helped !!! =)



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...... (link)
Ok, when your mother gets drunk, if she has ever, ever once hit you, this is a matter for the police. But the environment yu and your brother are living in is not one that you should have to grow up in. Talk to a relative or someone you could stay with. And your mother needs some help. She needs to go into counseling. Anything you and yur brother can do to get out of that house permantly, do it. Yu don't have to deal with this, it is not safe. Best of luck, i hope everything turns out fine.

PS-PRAY TO GOD!


I am a 13/f and never had a boyfriend and I think think this is my chance.There is this boy who has gone to mostly every school I have gone to(were in the same grade).But I think he likes me.Its like he has been drooping clues like he stares at me all the time with this serious look on his face,he saved me one time(if thats what you wanna call it)because I was walking and I wasn`t waching where I was going so I was about to bump into the wall then he said somthing to me then that made me look up,and his friend keeps on looking at me and once he was starring at me so I turend around to look and he quikly turend around.So how do I figure out if he likes me without talking to him and can you give me information on how to tell if a boy likes you.
(link)
First of all, decide whether yu like him. Dont go out with him just becus yu want a bf. Yur first bf should be special, dont go out with him just for the sake of having a bf.

From what you have told me, it kinda sound like her likes yu. Guys are so complicated tho. It's easy to get signals crossed. Yu have to talk to him tho, definetly. If yu really like him, just talk to him more, be friendly. Find something yu have in common(a school subject, sports, anything) and have a conversation. If yu feel that in yur heart yu really do like him, tell him. Yu have to, it's really the only way. He sounds very shy, so he needs to know just how you feel. If yu really like him, you shoodnt be afraid to tell him. Or have one of your more outgoing friends go up to him, and ask him if he likes anyone. Be subtle, ask if he likes "anyone" Although, he might not say he likes yu to your face, but if he says no one, he is probably lying=) I really hope I helped, let me know how this all turns out. Best of luck! =)


Hey i am 13 and i live in australia. So when me and my boyfriend talk, he always looks at my lips and mouth...its kinda weird..i dont reli care about it but its just..weird...> (link)
Well yeah, he probably wants to kiss yu. Although, dont think it's weird. For some people, when they are talking to others, they cant make eye contact, thats really very normal. Hope I helped=)


i generally have my period every 27 days for about eight days. last time i only had it for 6 days and its been over 30 days and im still not getting it! what should i do? (im fourteen) (link)
There's nothinng yu can do, but dont worry, nothing is wrong with yu or anything like that. Sometimes its a heavy flow, and sometimes it comes late. At our age (i'm 14 too) this stuff is totally normal, dont worry. Hope I helped!


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! (link)
Dont worry, im just like yu(except my friends dont make fun of you.) I mean, if yur friends make fun of yu for what kind of underwear yu wear, then they got problems. Dont disobey yur parents. Yur friends shoodnt make fun of yu, i mean, yu cant even see the underwear! Just let it slide. Dont bring up the subject. I mean, what they dont know cant hurt them, and if they honestly care about that stuff, yu dont need them.


is it normal for a girl to have an upset stomach during her period? Because my stomach feels naseaus(sp?)and i feel like i wanna puke and my stomach is all bubbly feeling..this is my 3rd time having my period so any suggestions what i can do. i dont have any medicine so that wont help. 14/f....thanks for neone who tries to help. (link)
YES it's definetly normal, i know what ya mean, and it's not fun. But dont worry. sometimes this happens, but sometime yur period isnt so bad, so yu dont really get cramps. Ibyprofen always helps for me, and if medicine is not an option, just lay down on your back and take deep breathes. Just relax wen this happens, that always helps me. Hope i helped, nd i hope yu feeel better!!


I'm 13 and i'm looking for a way to earn some cash, and babysitting seems the best way, trouble is i dont really know anyone i could babysit! does anyone have any ideas on how i could find some customers?? (link)
basically what everyone else said, and if yu go to a church regularly, yu cood put an add in the buliten. Thats what i did and lots of ppl at my church do that, and it worked. hope i helped


okay, I have tried thousands of deodarants including Exta-dry and none work for me! I want to be able to wear nice shirts and all that stuff but the only thing that stops me are my underarms what advice do you have for me? What deodarant do you suggest? You should know that a girl having sweaty armpits is not atractive. HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!! (link)
i have the same exact problem, i know just how ya feel. I use right guard spray and certain dri. For me, it doesnt always work, but im hoping it will for yu, becus i know how you feel and it's not fun. Make sure whatever deoderant yu use, it also says "anti perspirant" on it. I wish yu the best, and i really hope it works for yu!


what are the benefits of waiting for marriage? for those of you that are, whats your reason? it could go either way so let me know what you think. (link)
it is definetly better to wait till yur married. i am waiting because i am a strong catholic, and god intended it to be for married people only. yu are giving of yourself to your husband, and he knows that you are clean and pure, and you don't carry any diseases. And that quack who said you shoodnt wait cus yull get a divorce, well that kid is dead wrong. studies show that people who have sex and are not married are most likely to break up. sex between a married couple is a good thing, it will only strenghten your relationship with your husband, not destroy it. Hope i helped !!


I have a tough situation but I don't think it is that big of a deal. My friend (Tl) didn't get to go to our schools formal dance. He was in the hospital with a asma attack. But his grandparents had bought him this suit to wear and everything. They said to make up for that, that they would take him out to eat to wherever he wanted as long as he took a girl with him. And he asked me if I would do him the favor and go as a friend. It isn't a date. Just a friendly dinner, with him, and his grandparents. The thing is, my boyfriend hates this kid. He doesn't want me talking to him at all. So I cut down on the talking to him and such. Should I go with my friend? I don't see what the big deal is. It isn't like we are going to do anything. And if I go, should I tell my boyfriend? He would freak. I mean it's just a innocent thing with a friend. But he would still flip because of the fact its Tl. Thanks. Good advice, good rating. (link)
You should definetly go with your friend. If your bf likes you, he won't care whether you go. Explain one last time he is just a friend, and if it doesn't get through to him, I wouldn't worry about it. If this guy is so jealous, you'll never be able to be good friends with guys, and thats not the kind of relationship you want. Hope i helped! =)


My boyfriend and i have been dating for the past 5 months. We go to the same high school, but next year he is going to a public school and leaving me at the private school we both go to now. He has had sex before and i havent. He wants me to but i tell him im not ready and he says he can wait. I love him so much and he tells me he loves me to, i just am nervous to have sex with him and then he will leave. and i dont want the condom to break and im stuck having a kid. Plus the main promblem is what will god think of me? Please Help!!!!!!!!! (link)
What will God think? God intended sex for marriage, and for only married people. Your boyfriend, however judgemental this sounds, seems like a typical guy, just going for the sex. Yu have sex with him, he meets someone better at his new school, dumps you, and what are you left with? Potential diseases, and the lifelong regret of you "first time" being with a total jerk. Sorry if thats too harsh, but i hope i helped!


Is taking your shoes of during a wedding okay? Me and my boyfriend were talking and we are going to his Aunts wedding tomarrow and hes like im taking my shoes off during the respection (ya know to dance and stuff) but is it okay? Past weddings as a kid i remember people going around in panty hoes and socks... Just wondering..
Thanks--
(link)
At the reception, taking off your shoes is fine. As long as something is on your feet, like pantyhoes or socks. No one wants to have sore feet the whole night, so it is 100% acceptable.
