Hi, my names Melanie.
I'm fifteen years old.
I love fashion, hanging out with my friends,
and drawing and writing along with a bunch of other stuff.
I used to have an old account here that was quite known for awhile,
but I sort of just lost touch with it,
so I decided to make a new one.
I'll try and help you the best I can,
just hopefully I didn't lose touch with my good advice, haha.
And feel free to IM me with your problem too.
I also put my myspace in a link down below,
if you ever want to add me & talk.
But incase you don't see it or something, it's:

Okay, I go with a really sweet guy!! But my brother hates his brother!! My brother does not want me to keep going with my BF!!!!!!What should i do??????? (link)
I know your brother's well, your brother and everything and he's going to be protective over his sister and everything, but you're going to date who you want to date. It's your life, not his.

I would talk to him and ask him why he exactly hates your boyfriend. If it's because of something that happened in the past, maybe try and have them talk it out and show your brother that your boyfriends actually a really sweet and nice guy, and that there's nothing to worry about.

If he has really no reason, like I said, it's probably just because he's being overprotective of you and doesn't want you going out with any guys, for that matter. That solution above about hanging out together and showing your brother he's a great guy and everything could also be applied in this possible situation too.

So jsut talk it out with your brother and firstly find out why there's all this hate for your boyfriend from him and just talk to him about it and show him the good qualities in your boyfriend and just let him know that you love him ( your brother ) and everything and you know he doesn't want you going out with him, but you're sorry but it's your life, and your boyfriends a great guy and you're not going to stop dating him.

I hope I helped.


Okay I know you will probably say i'm to young!!!!!! But I know i'm ready for sex so what's the big deal???????? (link)
The reason why sex is such a big deal is because its SEX. I mean, that's a pretty big then in itself and you're young, you're not supposed to be having sex so early in life. Sex is supposed to be something shared for two people in love whenever they're older and know they'll be together.

I'm not saying you, but all kids today are just treating sex like it's absolutely nothing and they're just doing it cause they're bored, and they're like, 12 years old!

And there's so many consequences with sex. Diseases, STDS, AIDS, everything and teenage pregnancy! Do you really want a baby bump at the age of whatever you are? Even though kids today are all,"I've got a condom, it's fine," it's not. Condoms can break, and that's half the reason teenage pregnancies occur.

Plus, it's your virginity. Once it's gone, it's gone. You can't get it back. And what are you going to tell your kids? That it wasn't romantic or with somebody you really love ( or their FATHER for that matter? )?

Like I said it's just something that's mean to be special and wonderful for two people who are going to be together for a long time and love eachother very deeply, and that's not what it's about for most of the teenage population, so that's why it's a humungous deal.

I hope I helped.


The more I know my boyfriend, the more I feel he and I aren't compatible at all. I don't think this relationship will work out, so I want to end it. The problem is, my boyfriend is still passionately in love with me. I don't want to hurt him. Although I no longer have romantic feelings for him, I still regard him as my close friend. What can I do? How to dump someone without hurting him? (link)
I know you don't want to hurt him, but he's going to at least get hurt a little, no matter how nicely you put it or anything.

You just have to sit down with him or talk to him over the internet ( or write a letter, whatever makes you feel most comfortable doing it ), and just explain to him,"I think you're a really great guy and everything, but as time has progressed and I've gotten to know you better, the vibes I get from you and me are that more of a friendly kind than a boyfriend one. I just think we'd be better friends then boyfriend & girlfriend. And I know you're probably really mad and everything right now, so I'll just leave you alone for a bit, but if after awhile you'd want to try and be friends with me, I'd really like that alot." Or something similiar to that. Just explain to him your feelings and how you hope you two can remain friends over time, but respect his feelings and give him some time to cool down and adjust and everything, cause he's probably not going to want to be friends right away.

Just don't stay with him or anything, cause that'll hurt twice as much in the end if he ever found out it was all pity and lies since practically the whole relationship you two had, and you two have to break up at some point anyways, so better now, then later.

So, hopefully over time, ( like I said yes, he'll be hurt ) but he'll be glad to know you were honest with him instead of just staying with him to make him happy, and over time, he'll be able to get over it and move on, just as you will, and hopefully a good friendship will come from this.

I hope I helped.

does anyone know what a pube is?
my friends say it and i just nod my head like i kno. lol but i dont sooo anyone care to fill me in ?

AND WHATS A KEG FOR CHRIST SAKE? (link)
A keg is a somewhat big metal barrel that most people use to contain beer in it for whenever they have parties, but it can be used for other drinks, too. ( Just mostly in the movies and both in real life, it's used for beers for parties ).

And as for pubes, they're the hair that people begin to grow on their bodies for whenever they start to go through puberty and change and grow. Like for girls, we begin to grow hair on our legs, our armpits and in private areas, as guys the same.

Hey! 15/f

I am really confused about my relationship with this guy that i met really reacently.

I met him outside of target while i was sitting in the car while my mom was inside. After a while of glanceing at each other he came up and knocked on my window and after talking for a little while he asked for my number.
We have been text messageing each other for a little over a week now and he wants to come vist me at my house. Since i have only seen him in person once it will be really werid for me and i am realy nervous about it. He wants to come over tammarow and see me. We both like each other and he is really sweet, but since i havent had a boyfriend before ans i dont hang out with very many guys im extermly nervous.
Do you guys have any tips onwhat we could do?
What to wear?
and Just and thing in general would be great!
Thanks so much!!!

What to do:

I suggest watching a movie for awhile, it first of all distracts you two from having alot of conversation, so you don't have to think up something to say every second. For movie choice, I would probably either choose horror or comedy. Comedy is a good one because it creates alot of laughter between the two of you, and will create a more happy, comfortable enviroment and then later you two can talk of the movie and share jokes and everything. Horror is a good "flirting" type of movie. Whenever girls are scared, they usually'll grab the guys hand or jump and reach over to them because they need something to cling onto, and the guy doesn't mind AT ALL, lol. They milk it up and'll comfort them and put their arm around them and everything.

Also, depending on what else is in your house, you guys can just blast music and watch television for awhile afterwards and engage in conversation. Seeing as you two have only talked once, this is a good opportunity to ask alot of questions about eachother and get to know eachother better and find common interests, so I'm sure there's alot to talk about. But don't forget while talking to make alot of eye contact, sit close to him and just flirt to show him you're interested and everything.

As the person said below, maybe even go for a casual stroll around the neighborhood. This'll make everything nice and quite for conversation and still somewhat romantic since the stars may be out or the sun is setting ; whatever time he's over there. Plus, if it's cold you two can sit close and everything and talk.

As for what to wear, I wouldn't get OVERLY dressed up. Since you two aren't going out anywhere, I mean I'm sure he'd be impressed you took so much time into looking nice for him, but it might come off you went a little overboard to impress him. So maybe just wear one of your favorite cute outfits like a shirt or some jeans and a cute top and just do something cute with your hair and some simple makeup.

If you feel yourself becoming nervous, just talk some deep calm breaths and just be yourself, and everything's fine. You already know he likes you and everything since he asked for your number and wants to hang out!

I hope I helped.


I think I have ADHD but im not sure. I'm seeing my doctor on Monday about it. How can I "diagnose" myself until then?

P.s. If you have a long answer please divide it into paragraphs...I cant seemto read giant bolcks of text (link)
Well, since you can't read giant blocks of text, I just decided to make my answer short and sweet. Here are some sites that have some sypmtoms and everything to see if you have it or not, so check them out:

Alot of those sites say the same things, so check them all out and just answer to yourself if you have most of these syptoms.

Ok, so i am friends with these girls in my 3rd period class, but i am also friends with these other girls in the same class, and the problem is that the 2 groups don't like each other. and when i'm hangin out with one group and they start talkin about the other group, it seems kinda wrong to me to even be associated with them. i have alot of other friends, but the 2 groups make up the majority of my class, and it's either talk to them or talk to the nerds...(lol) and one of the girls from one of the 2 groups kissed this boy who had a girlfriend...and i wuz wonderin if that classified her as a ho or not. cuz she does have a reputation for messin around with boys who have girlfriends. (link)
[EDIT: Oh, well in that case, yeah if I were to hear about that in school or something, I'd probably classify her sort of as a ho. ]


Well, as for the girl who kissed a guy while he had a girlfriend, she may be a ho, she may not. It depends on how everyone views that. I do view it a little hoish, but remember; the guy's just as guilty as she is for kissing eachother. It takes two to kiss.

As for the group thing, you shouldn't have to choose between one or the other. If they start talking about the other group, ask them to please not talk about them infront of you because you're their friends also, or to just not expect you to say anything bad about them. You can't control what people say, I know which sucks, but you can ask them to control WHEN they say it.

So just split the time you talk to each group during class. Talk to one class maybe at the beginning of class, and the other at the end, or talk to one group the whole class one day, and then the other group the other. And same for projects. One project, this group gets you, and the other project, you partner up with the other group. You just have to learn to split your time between people, but you should never dump off one for the other.

I hope I helped.


omg!! i got my ears pierced recently and after 6 weeks (which was yesterday) i took the studs out and put in regular earrings. then when i came home later that night i took the earrings out-and the holes grew back!! seriously i cant put earrings through them AT ALL! omg i am seriously about to cry i waited so long for my ears and now i can't even wear earrrings now! what do i do!!!!! (link)
Well, I've never had my ears pierced except in 3rd grade for like a month, so I don't know how much help I would be for you.

The most I can advise you to do is go to your doctor or go to the place where you go your earrings done and explain to them the situation and ask them what you should do. Better to get help from a professional.

I know you waited forever, but you might have to get your ears pierced again if you can't put any earrings through them. :/

I hope I helped.


my friend is over obsessed with camp. she wont stop talking about. me and my friends try and clue her in, and she knows that we dont like when she does it, but she still goes on about her "bffs." we feel like extras, backup. my friend even told her about the problem. she doesnt seem to care that we're mad. What should we do!!?? (link)
She's probably only talking about camp so much because she wants everyone to listen to her and pay attention to her, and talking about her "bffs" makes her sound like she's loads more popular than she might be.

The next time she begins to talk about it, just ignore her, and make conversation with your friend or anybody else whose standing there, or if you are by yourself, just stare at the wall or something or call somebody on your phone and start talking to them.

If she asks why you're doing that, just explain to her,"Like we said before, you're always talking about camp, and we're just sort of sick of hearing about it, so now whenever you want to talk about it, we're just going to talk about something else." Or if she doesn't ask, hopefully she'll catch the hint of what's going to happen if she doesn't stop talking about it.

I hope I helped.


SO,I had a Halloween Party.
The person I like was there, I don't know him too well, but now I sure do. Whenever I used to see him & talk to him he would always be SUPER nice. Like, & i swear I knew he liked me, everyonee told me he even did. Anyways, at my party, I'd be talking to someone & he'd walk right in the middle of me & say.."move!" & then smile, even though i think he was kidding, it was kinda weird? I felt like he was trying to impress me, when he'd try to like pull my basketball hoop down, like he was strong or something. Then, I was like OH MY GOSH! don't you love my decorations?! & hes like yepp,, & then hed like rip one down & be like.."oh now what?! COME GET IT. SO i'd like start grabbing it & yanoo.. getting all like .. flirty? & such. Then when all of the girls were around his friend, he like started like pouting? It was weird. Then he would take pictures of me & be like, HA this is going on my myspace! & id be like talking, when hed take it & then he'd lay on my bed, & just look at me, because I was showing him my room. It was tottalyyy weird.

What was up with him?
Does he like me or hate me? (link)
It sounds to me alot like he was flirting. Even though he was doing some things that could come off mean, if he's sittign there smiling at you and teasing you and everything in a cute way, then that's definetely flirting whenever it comes to guys.

Just try showing him more attention now, and keep all the flirting going and send him signals that you're interested. After awhile, if you get enough guts and everything, you should definetely let him know that you like him and everything. :)

I hope I helped.


Alright so, I went to a halloween party friday night at my friend's house. Her mom is cool, and let the guys who came stay the night. (which was only like 4 guys that could because of their own parents) And we were like messing around, dancing, singing and all that fun stuff.. then we were watching movies. And this kid who i thought that was one of my guy friends, but like never thought of anything more was watching the movie Rachel. and you know the reclining part of the couches? like on each side? So she was on one of those, and then i was laying with my feet over her and then the kid i was telling you about earlier who i thought was just my friend came, and was like oohhh Sam scoot over. So i was like sure. so i scooted to the inside of the couch and he was on the outer part. and like i get scared easily.. so like when we watched the movie I'd jump, and grab his hand. and then like he put his arm around me at one point and then i was holding his other hand while i had my head on his chest while we watched the rest of the movie and stuff. And like i eventually fell asleep on him for like 20 minutes like that then woke up. and then like i dunno. i kind of felt something, and then like whenever somebody saw us when we were watching the movie they'd be like "awwww you two are so cute! Are you going outtt?" and then we'd just be like "nopeee." But like I don't know like if i have feelings for him, or if i just liked having somebody to hold me like he diddd. How would i know thattt? Like how do you know if you like like somebody.? Thanks!!

Oh and I'm almost 15, and i'm a girl =] (link)
Hm, it sounds to me like it could be going either way. I've had that before with some guy friends. They treat you so great and everything and you love every minute of it, but you don't know if you're just loving the attention, or them.

The only real way I suggest to find out is to just flirt with him more and see what happens. And don't try to cuddle and everything as much, cause that'll just be a repeat of before. Try talking to him and everything, and imagining yourself as a couple and whatnot. If you can't imagine you two being a couple and everything, then you're probably just loving the attnetion he's giving you.

But if you can imagine it, continue doing what you guys are doing, and show him more attention and flirt more and make him feel special. And then if you ever feel comfortable enough and gutsy enough to, maybe someday let him know that you like him and everything, and see where it takes off.

I hope I helped.


This boy really likes me he even stares at me and my friend is his friend and he told me he thinks about me all the time.I'm emo and he asked me if I was emo and of course I said yes and now he trys to be kinda emo, he asked me out once and I said noo but I quickly regreted it. I really like him and I'm not going to see him next year so I'm not sure if I should ask him out because I really don't want people talking but I mean they would anyway should I ask him out? I'm I just crazy and give up? (link)
You should just do whatever you want to do. If you want to ask him out, and you think you'll be happy with him and have a good time, then do it. Who cares what people think? You should take it as a compliment, that they're spending so much time looking at you two and making comments, and not enough on themselves.

I hope I helped.


My hair is like super strait and extremely hard to curl or scrunch anybody got any tips on scrunching hair? (link)
Alright, here's what I do:

I take a shower.

And then whenever I'm done, I sort of shake my head and twist it to get all the water out, and then take a towel and shake my hair with the towel some more. Sometimes that helps it to dry a little quicker.

And then after that, if it's still extremely wet, then just get ready if you're getting ready for school or for wherever or just hang around and watch tv, whatever to waste time. But check on your hair every so often and feel if it's damp. It needs to be partially wet to work.

Whenever it's damp, then just take a really strong gel that you know'll hold and put it in your hands and just sort of.. grab your hair and keep doing it and watch as your hair gets that scrunched look.

The once you're done doing it to your whole head, I would suggest spraying your hair with some good hairspray to, so you'll be sure it's going to stay that way for the rest of the day/night.

I hope I helped.


What does emo mean? (link)
Emo is short for emotional.

This is usually a stereotypical word for people who wear black, have their bangs over their eyes, their hair dyed, listen to depressing music all the time, and are just plain depressing, which is not true.

I've seen so many kids who are labeled "emo" by others, and they're the happiest kids I've ever met. They're just labeled that because they wear black. Blah, I'm rambling, sorry.

Anyways, I hope I helped.


Hey. Well, I was wondering if Hollister was still selling tote bags in their stores because they dont have them on their website. Also, does Abercrombie & Fitch still sell those blue totes bags that say A&F on the side in stores because they don't have them on their website either. Thanks & (link)
I'm not sure where you live, but I've seen some girls around here with them, so I'm sure they still have them in their stores. You can never really trust to check the internet to see if they're still in storage. Like with me and Delias, Delias has other shirts that their stores don't, and their stores have shirts and stuff that their website doesn't. So if you ever need to see if somethings in stores, the best thing to just go and check it out and ask someone who works there.

I hope I helped.


okay this halloween i wanna be like a gothic fairy or a fallen angel .. if u wanna get a picture of what i mean go to partcity.com and click on costumes and teen-female .. they're there

but i dunt wanna buy them i wannt take stuff from my closet and make my own so help pleasE? any ideas?? (link)
Well, since you want to make this yourself, and seeing as there's only a couple days till Halloween, I'd probably go for the Gothic Fairy:

http://partycity.com/cgi-bin/parties/costumes.cgi?parties=Halloween&productstype=Teen-Female&products=96069&zoom=1&start=&originaltype=

Both costumes are cute, but this one's a tad more simplier, and'll have more things around your house and in your closet and everything to make the costume.

For your hair, it looks to me like hers is just wavyish, so you could just take a shower before you get ready, and as you start to, let your hair just let itself dry out and everything ( to help it dry better, whenever you get out of the shower, grab the towel and shake your hair in it and everything and twist it to get all the water out ). And if you need to, try and blow dry it a little, but keep it damp. And then just pull it up into two high ponytails. Maybe even take some gel and rub it in your hands and scrunch your hair to help keep it wavy.

For the shirt, if you just have a red shirt or a black one that's tight and solid colored, that should be perfectly fine. If not, try asking your mom if you can borrow a top or a sister if you have one or maybe even ask a friend if they can lend you anything.

Also, see if you can find any skirts in your closet that are black or red or in any frends, sisters, mothers, etc. If not, you can always find a skirt for really cheap, and if you need to, just spray paint it black or red if you can't find any in that color.

As for the jewlery, mostly anything that's just dark looking or has a cross on it'll work.

Also, do your makeup very dark and just have eyeliner on and some black eyeshadow, and if you have any, black or red lipstick. I'm sure your mom has some type of lipstick you can use really quick.

As for the wings, this is where this gets difficult. I went on the internet and found some sites on how to make your own wings with pantyhose and wires ( which you can probably just use from clothes hangers in your closet that you're not using ) and everything.

http://www.sonic.net/~mamazon/wings.html

So for the wings, I'd probably use black pantyhose, which I'm positive your mother has to have laying around somewhere or somebody you know. Even if you don't, they're really quick and cheap to get too, so it's no problem. Just make sure they're really stretchy.

Maybe to even make them look even cooler, take some red glitter and put it all over the wings whenever you're done to make them shine in the light, and look less like pantyhose.

I hope I helped.


14/f Ok, so for Halloween I'm going as a sexy kitty: black lacy tank top, denim mini skirt, and black knee high boots (they're comfy, but look really cool=] ) with a cat tail and cat ears. so I have a question: should I do any face makeup? (black nose and whiskers) I don't want to look like a little girl, but i want it to look cat-ish. also, if i should, what should i use? thank you! (link)
You could do this to your eyes so it looks less like a little girl, and more cute and sexy:

http://www.missgroovy.co.uk/images/cat_makeup_eyeliner.jpg

And then maybe take some black eyeshadow ( or dark gray, or pink, whichever color ) and lightly apply it onto your eyes. I think the dark gray or black color would be better cause it sort of gives off a smokey eyed look, and'll make your eyes pop out more.

I also found this site that might help you apply it better:

http://www.free-beauty-tips.com/cat-eyes.html


And then to look more like a cat, dab some pink lipstick or whatever onto your nose, and use black eyeliner for whiskers, it's really your decision if you want to go fully out, but I think it'd look cute.

Because if you have a nose but no whiskers or whiskers and no nose, it doesn't make the whole cat, you know? I still think it looks adorable, and with the boots and the skirt and top and the cat eye makeup, I think you'll look more sexy cat than little girl.

I hope I helped.



14/f
okay well my friend said she didnt like this guy anymore but i like him a lot. he is everything that i look for in a guy and i am everything he looks for in a girl. would it be rude to start flirting with him.would it be mean if i dated him. i dont want to ruin our friendship. (link)
It would be rude and mean if you just did it infront of her face without her knowing and everything, so this is why you should probably talk to your frienda bout it first. Just sit down with her and ask her if she's really sure she's over him, and whenever she says ( yes, hopefully! ) yes or no and asks why, just explain to her that over time, you've sort of developed feelings for him, and wanted to know if it was alright if you asked him out.

If she says yes, great! Then just start flirting with him and hanging out with him more and everything and get to know him better, and hopefully feelings'll progress enough where you two'll go out together. :)

If she says no, respect her decision and at least wait awhile for her to get over him. Getting over relationships can take time, and even though girls tend to say their over the guy, they might not be. So just be there for her and help her move on, and whenever the time comes where she is over him for real, then maybe talk to her about your feelings for him and everything. If I was in her shoes, I would be very happy that my friend decided to wait for me to get over him instead of jumping all over him behind my back like most girls probably would.

i wanted to learn how to break dance since 4th grade. But my mom and teacher said no because its hard. So i didnt mention breakdancing that much for long time until 7th grade my uncle's nephew taught me how to do some simple moves. But he just visits like once a year. So i didnt learn it in 8th grade, i heard my friend's bf knows how to breakdance but he didnt want to teach me, he just said he cant breakdance. 9th grade, finally he taught how to do some simple stuff too, and my friend asked me and said" how come you wanna learn how to breakdance out of no where?" and im afraid that people will think im a poser. The question is am i poser for wanting to learn how to breakdance? (link)
You're not a poser at all. Just because someone might have a certain opinion of you, doesn't mean it's true. I know this is going to sound corny, but it's true. What only really matters is what you think about yourself, and if you want to breakdance, breakdance.

If your friends/anybody mention anything again, just be like,"I've actually been wanting to breakdance since fourth grade really, but there's nobody around here who knows how, so I haven't really had many opportunities to learn it."

If your friends are going to call you a poser, then they're not really your friends. Friends should understand and like you for you, and it shouldn't matter what your interests are.

And anyways, you've been wanting to learn for five years, and you know that, and that's all that matters. I personally didn't even KNOW what breakdancing was in fourth grade, so it's not even like you're doing it to be cool, which THAT would come off as fake. But like I said, you're not.


I hope I helped.
