"i barely get questions in my inbox anymore. = ( its sad because i put so much time into this advice column but no one ever cares! thanks for asking though!"

awww... sweetie we do care. You give wonderful advice and it doesn't go unseen. So why are you quiting. People here need your advice and appreciate it very much.

But I have a question. Do you know how to erase data from like the webstie address box? Like when you type in a website and other recent websites come up.

thank you! that means a lot. = ) yes, all you need to do is erase your history. if you have internet explorer, go to history at the top and click on "clear history." it should be the same for any of them.

I would like teenagers to answer this one,

My daughter is 13. But the clothes she wears are not...happy. She always is sarcastic. She listens to strange, loud music. Is this the fashion these days? Should I let her be?

no i would definitely say this is not the fashion these days. i have seen many teen girls go through the same thing, but they change as they get older. its just a phase and i think your daughter is probably just trying to figure herself out. i think you should let your daughter be when it comes to clothes, because it is just a way of expressing herself. if her attitude changes though, (doesnt listen to you, ignores you, doesnt want to talk/be around lots of people) i would sit down and talk with her and see whats going on.

Well, I'm having a celeb-themed party soon where you have to dress up as a celebrity, i'm really looking forward to it, but i need to gets something that looks like a red carpet, wont rip when people walk over it and isn't too expensive. I'm really not sure what I could use though. Does anyone have any ideas?

all you need is strong red fabric. (silk would be good.) then just tape it down to the floor.

We are all really close friends.

i didnt know what to put this under so oh well lol.
ok, i have acne, but its not bad. its mostly near my eyebrows and nose and stuff. but i can't find any makeup that works. i have the true blend pressed powder, and that doesnt seem to really work at all. my skin is always blotchy, and its really dry now because of the cold. i was wondering that there was any makeup that would work. i cant stand liquid foundation though, because it feels like im putting paint on my face. i hate it. any suggestions?
thanks

proactiv will get rid of most of your acne. i would try using that. then i would just go tanning so you dont need to wear any foundation/powder. tanning helps get rid of some acne (it drys it out) while foundation and powder only add more.

thanks
