born and raised in chi-town.(a.k.a.- chicago- for the slow kids)Last time i checked, i was a girl.and i have 10 piercings- 9 of which i did myself.(all but my eyebrow). fun stuff.
advice
I am not fat at all.but i want to go on a diet becasue my borther acts hard in front of his friends and says fat cow and stuff liek that.I hate it when hes like this. What can i do?
NEVER, EVER, EVER go on a diet for any other person than yourself. that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard of. first off, dieting isnt always good for your body. many girls diet the worng wy and actually put hemselves and their bodies in danger. if he persists to cal you names stand up for yourself,girl. there's no reason you should have to listen to a thing he says,and i he still continues to talk mess- then brainstorm any and all embarassing things in his life he wouldnt want anyone to know. this is a definite last resort, but after you clue his friends in on little things like that- he'll get the picture and eventually stop. hope i helped.
I have a friend named Felicia and she's 16/F...all she likes to talk about is beer, boys, parties, people she hates..i don't know..she tries to act like she's all grown up now or whatever...well this morning i wanted to go for a scooter run with my other friend hannah...she was like, "umm no, that's ok i don't wanna smell like sh*t" so hannah and me went for the scooter run anyway..we had tons of fun! we came in and felicia was like "eeww you guys smell get away from me.." and she avoided us the rest of the night..(but at least we had fun! all she did was stay in and watch court tv with the judges and stuff..grrr..it's like she's trying to impress people by acting that she's not 10 anymore..(this is just an example of how she acts *all that* and *grownup*...trust me, there's tons more! she always acts like she's better than us and i really don't know what to do..please help!
just because your mom and her mom are the best of friends doesnt justify that the two of you have to be just as good of friends. many kids find that their parents friends have the brattiest of kids, and that theyre expected to like them. there is NO law that says you have to like her. and if your parents punish you in any way for not hanging out, or not being friends, then shame on them. it seems to me that you need to get away from this girl. i know for a fact that i wouldnt hang out with sumone that mistreated me for a second. "hurt me once, shame on you, hurt me twice, shame on me"- meaning: if some one has the nerve to hurt you in any way, shame on them. but if you let them back in your life a second time, and they hurt you, shame on you for letting them back in your life. hope i helped.
in college I want to major in interior decorationg because I think I have a flair in that type of art. for those who don't know that much about it, it's when you help design color schemes, furniture, decorations, paint, etc. for peoples' rooms and stuff. Well I want to know if that's a good paying job and if I'll make enough money to support myself and kids, a house, etc. I'm not trying to be selfish, but I really want to know if it's a good enough job. Thanks.
go to a search engine, type in "interior decorating", and do your research from there. in my opinion, i would think interior decoratting would supply you with definetely enough money for the things needed, but that also depends on the type of lifetyle you live as well. hope i helped.
i have been realy good friends with a guy a my school(max)for about a year or two he had a girl friend for most of the time we've been friends. a couple months ago him and his girlfriend was kinda drifting from eachother and he told me he lyked me. i made the mistake of telling him a like him too. it turned into a big mess and he ended up juss staying with his gf. So i oviously got mad and told him that i didnt have feelings for him anymore because he wasnt acting lyk the max i knew..But now him and his gf "on a break" and he recently asked her back out and she said no.. but he'll give me all these signals lyk when we're hanging out ..but this is wat i dont understand .. once in a while hell try to set me up with some of his friends that are on his baseball team and kids that i havent met and stuff.. so does that mean hes juss leading me on..? hes lyk my best friend but theres one side of our friendship that i havent been understanding.. if you understand where im coming from plzz help with your opinon on wat you thinks going on --
i cant think of exactlt where, but tis story seems to paint a perfect picture of a time in my life. it sounds to me tho, tht he likes you, theres no doubting that- but that he wants to stay friends. id say thats always the best bet. dont ruin a perfec friendship, unless you both are totally sure thats up for grabs.
ok i have been with my boyfriend for about 2 weeks but every1 says he is playing me so i am goin to break up with him. i dont know what to say to him though. i dont wanna break his heart! he says that he really like me! but he never calls me and he acts like he doesnt wanna be around me. what should i say to him when i break up with him?? please help me out!!
dont even worry about breaking his heart. it sounds to me like he's breaking yours by treating you the way he does! just be honest,and be agressive. be sure to put your point across, so that he gets the picture. hope i helped.
the other day my throat was really soar and now one of my tonsils is very swollen and has lindents like a golf ball...and i have a cough that is deep and i have a lot of mucas and a runny nose... could this be strep throat?
it's hard to say. your best bet would be to go to a doctor. no one in the world knows better.
Okay.. none of my friends were help on this. See if any of you are!
I've been with this guy for almost 2 months. He's in LOVE with me and totally obsessed. I hate clingy guys and I'm sick of him. He calls like .. 5 times a day.. AT LEAST .. and is Always wanting to hang out. I barely have time for my girls with him around!
I need a way to break up with him so he won't be too upset, and he will still be friends with me. I still like him, and i've already told him he's too obsessive, but it didn't help any! I need a way to let him down gently!
!mucho amor!
either way- it sounds to me, like this guy is in fact, superobsessed. there is no way to let him down gently. no matter what you say or do, this guy is GOING to be hugely affected by it. just try and be nice, watever you do. try and reverse the roles. speak to him like you would want to be spoken to, yourself. hope i helped.
Alright. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 9 months now and I'm having a little issue. Whenever we first started dating he cussed a whole lot, and to me cussing is kind of unattractive. Well, he stopped cussing for me. He just went to Arkansas for the weekend with his cousin and I called him today and he was cussing like crazy. I asked him how much he has been cussing and he said in a real sarcastic voice "I don't have an exact number." Earlier in the month I told him he acted sort of different around me and his friends. He sort of blows me off. He becomes very sarcastic and sort of rude, just like in his comment about cussing. What should I do? Am I right to be kind of upset about this? He knows how much I don't like him cussing...
you coldnt be MORE right to be mad at him. he pretty much vowed to you that he would give up cussing, just for you. i understand completely where youre coming from. i will tell you exactly what i told another person, just recently. - the main joy of having a man in your life is for him to make you happy- and if he's not fulfilling that duty, then get rid of him!
well here it goes..
i like this boy who i have dated in the past (let's call him *j). He tends to drink a lot as well as smoke. However, now he has cut back a lot on smoking. My friends think that in our previous relationship he didn't treat me right. Well, he did cheat on me with other girls while he was drunk. But, he confessed. On valentines day (while we were going out) he gave another girl a card saying he loved her. Yet, knowing me.. i just let it go. About a month after that incident we broke up, and now we are starting to like eachother again after a break of about 2 months. However, this time he is treating me different & way better. He actually calls me now as well as asking me to do stuff outside of school. He even calls me when he is around his friends, which he like never did in our previous relationship. Now i am debating as if he really has changed and wants a commitment or if he is just the same. Last week, he kissed me.. & that is giving me mixed signals. Now, i like him even more, which is killing me because how do i know he is a different person.
all i can give you is a quote told to me by my former boyfriend's brother when i was in a past relationship:
"hurt me once, shame on you, hurt me twice, shame on me"
meaning, if someone has the nerve to hurt you, shame on them. that was their mistake, and you were too good for them. but if you let that same person in your life again- with the opportunity to hurt you again, which- trust me, they will- then shame on yourself for lowering your standards for someone who at one poin in your life made you feel miserable. the best part of having a man in your life is to have someone to make you happy. if at all you get the sense that he's ot fullfilling that duty, then let him go, girl.
I have a friend named Rob who I've known all my life and he tells me everything. We both made friends with a new younger girl named Lena (we're in eighth grade and she's in seventh) and we have a great time together. Rob is a really nice guy, and I think that Lena is mistaking that for him liking her, and she's starting to like him. For example, whenever we are doing something, like bouncing on the trampoline, and Lena falls over, he's over there helping her up again, and she's mistaking that for him liking her. Rob has told me himself that he doesn't like Lena as more than a friend, but I don't want Lena to ask him out and break her heart. What do I do?
it seems to me as if you might have a thing for rob. i know youre probably thinking, "no, i dont- he's just a friend", but thats what youre making it out to seem like. if you dont in fact like this guy, then let lena do what she wants. she's a big girl, and she knows what she wants. if she gets hurt, all the more power to her for future references. thats a main part of growing up. let her make her own decisions, and she might even thank you for it in the end, if you clue her in on your opinion.
ok so me and my boyfriend broke up because he stalked me and he still kinda does.he got mad becuase i hung out with this guy down the street who is 15.me and the guy hung out alot by ourselves and we never did anything like that.my (ex)boyfriend always accused me of doing things with him.not just him but a bunch of others guys and the guys who he thought i was doing stuff with stop talking to me because my ex boyfriend is 6'5 or 6'6 so none of the guys wanted to get in fights.was i right for breaking up with my boyfriend?i was really missing my guy friends=(
never, ever, ever choose a boyfriend over your friends, UNLESS you are positive that this guy is your one and only true love, which, i highly doubt he is.
i recently went to a party and got a bit tipsy and tried to snog this boy i fancied...i couldnt remember this the next day but he did....he told every one and now all my friends are taking the p*ss out of me.....what do i do to make them stop???
put liquid ex-lax in al their drinks next time, and see how funny they think awkward situations are after that.
HELP! I"m breaking out on my chest, back, and face. I have graduation coming up in less than 2 weeks and i'm wearin g a strapless dress. i need something to get red of my acne that will do it fast with out alot of irritation. WHAT SHOULD I USE?!
wear loose clothing, for starters. try not to sweat alot, and keep evry part of your body that is breaking out, clean. also do NOT touch you r skin. try to go without makeup until graduation, or as little as possible. there's a set called 'nature's cure' that i bought from jewel osco. it was about 10, or 15 dollars, and it worked pretty well, as long as you stick with it, and do exactly as it says. it consists of a pill to take, twice a day i believe, and a spray, to use after the affected area is cleaned. once again- just stick with it, and do eactl as it says, and u shuld be fine in no time. also- relax. nothing is worse for acne than stress.
Alright well i bought some sunless tanner yesterday cuz im going to to a club tonight & i want to be tan! i've never used it before so does anyone have any tips? like i want it to look even & not orange or anything! thanks! i rate high!
all i can say is, start your fake baking early- use a little. see how it looks an hour later, and you can always add more. i know i would much rather look a little paler than i wanted to turn out like, than like an oompa loompa, to say the least.
I got an allergic reaction from copper on my stomach from a jeans button. So it got really itchy. Now the itching has gone away. But now I have discoloration on the spot and I'm pretty sure it's from dry skin. So is there any good lotions that you would reccomend for extremely dry skin?
no lotion.they might irritate it even more. use straight up vaseline. works all the time for dry hands, so it must work for dry bellies.
i have a lot of trouble getting to sleep. i can't switch off wheni go to bed and i feel tired a lot of the time. I have tried cutting out caffiene, herbal sleeping tablets and all the obvious things and nothing works. can you help
try and run around as much as you can during the day. the more energetic you are during the day, the more tired you'll be at night. and, as ironic as it may sound- energy drinks (preferably red bull)might help you out. they contain some kind of chemical that speeds you up, but slows you down later on. by drinking one about 3 hours before you fall asleep, you should have all your energy gone, an youll have no choice but to fall asleep. good luck, and sweet dreams.
i have a skin condition called vitiligo, which is when you have blotchy spots on your skin where there is no pigment. they cannot tan, so when summer comes and my body is tan, those spots remain white as can be. does anyone know of any lotions or creams that blend skin tones together..and that isnt terribly expensive? and does anyone know of any really good sunless tanner lotions/creams that aren't too expensive?Thanks a bunch everyone!
if i were in your position, i wouldnt do a thing about it. thats the way you were made, and you should be happy with what you have. be happy you didnt turn out like michael jackson!, but, since im sure you really want to know, i tried a sunless tanning spray (more like a mist) for graduation one spring. i got it from walgreens for 6 or 7 dollars. it just mists right on. it comes in about an 8oz. bottle i believe with a yellow cap. it's walgreens brand, which explains why its so cheap, but i loved it.
My boyfriend was been depressed latly so i have been wanting to do something nice for him..well im only 15 and he's 17 so getting places isnt a problem since he can drive...well i donno what to do for him..i was thinking of getting him a new watch or makeing him dinner or takeing him out to dinner but im not sure. does anyone have any idea's or suggestions..or maybe share something you have done nice for your BF??
thanks a lot =)
dont go anywhere quiet.that gives im too much spare time to think back in his mind whats ben depressing him so much lately. whatever you do, go somewhere where theres lots of action, and people around. it will give him a time to enjoy himself around others, and possibly make new friends who he can learn to be around at times like this to make him happy, or put him in a better mood.
Any one no any style websites? i want cute ones not old ones!
go to google, and type in hairstyles, or something of the sort. a million links or so should pop up. hope i helped.
Hey. I'm in 8th grade.
There's this guy I kind of like. I got to know him this year, and he's been pretty nice. We've had our ups and downs, however. For example, he started ignoring me a couple of months ago for no reason whatsoever. Yesterday, he started being nice again though, and he emailed me. Well today I got another email from him, in which he asked me out to prom. The thing is, he's asked out around 4 or 5 other girls, who are going with other people or by themselves. The result is that I don't feel like I'm his first choice, because I'm not.
My question is, should I say yes?
Thanks a lot.
although it is quite embarassing to say this- the same exact thing happened to me this very same year. a senior i liked asked me to prom, and i told him id think about it. well, a few days later, i found out he ad askd another girl before me.so then i had to give him a definite no. the way i figure is- prom is supost to be the biggest get together between teens of the opposite sex, i would think a person male or female would be wise in choosing who theyd like to go with.i would ask my first pick first- obviously. and if ur not his first pick- then i would say it probably wont be memorable for either of you.
