advice

I constantly hear that most guys don't like girls with short hair. Especially as in a boyish haircut. And I agree- it's hard to look/feel "pretty" with boring hair. But I am so dreadfully sick of my long hair. (Mine is several inches past my armpits.) I hate showering because of having to dry it. And on top of everything, it curls in the most unflattering ways. I look so stupid. I feel like the only escape from the annoying body of my hair is to get it short short short. Yet I know I'll still hate the way it looks because there will be nothing there. What on earth should I do?

(P.S. Semi-short is hardly an option because the curls are even worse and uncontrolable. And it's not kinky... just wavy and loopy. Especially my bangs. Ugh!!!)

well,honestly, you don't want it SUPER SUPER SUPER short because if its curly then you'll look like a clown. (sorry,,but its trueeee!) anyway, i would suggest maybe a trim and just streighten your hair and when you don't want to wear it up but streighten your bangs---that looks cute!

I'm a girl. I have hair on my upper lip. Most girls do, but I have black hair, and it's getting to be obnoxiously noticeable. I don't want to wax it though, because I don't want it to grow back all super-dark and thick and stubbly. That would be worse!! I don't know what to do though.. prom's coming up!

I would just bleach the hair. That way it doesn't grow back, it isn't black so its not noticeable and also it won't hurt, like waxinggg

how?

you can just take hair bobby-pin it and then just push it up with more bobby-pins. ---thats pretty much the simpilist way to explain this. Hope i helped. also, tease your hair by taking a comb and moving it up and down at the roots of your hair tease it back then take bobby-pins and pin it and push it up if you want it to look nicer.

Okay my friend is always telling me, only like guys that like you back. But how would I know if they like me back, and like the guys that do like me, I dont like them..
So how cause I get a guy to like me back?

well you can't control who you like and you DEFFFINETLY can't control who the guy likes. so, i think that you should just go with the flow. if you don't like a guy give them a chance, my mom didn't like my dad when they first started to date....but because they spent time together and relized they have stuff in common they got married and they are still going strong. also, if you want people to like you try flirting with the guy so that they know your interested but that doesn't neccisarily mean THEY'RE interested.

I am friends with this girl, and all the time she cancels on me. We will make plans like a week in advance or spur of the moment and everytime it seems like she cancels. She always seems to be able to hang out with other people though. She comes from a low income family but we are good friends and she knows she can ask me for money. It is just getting really annoying how she cancels everytime. should i say something to her?? she obviously thinks this is not a problem and for everyone in the group, we are all getting annoyed. but she will turn around to her other friend and blame it all on us?!?! what should i do.

I, personally, wouldn't say anything to her. You don't know if she just can't afford to hang out with you guys. I know that always asking to borrow money can make a person feel REALLY bad. So, I think that you and your friends should keep her in your "group" but if you make plans with her be prepared that she might cancel. Also, just to stop her from even being able to cancel just don't make any plans with her. If she tells you that you guys don't hang out with her anymore. Just respond by saying well we just got upset that you always canceled on our plans. That is when you confonte her.

Hope I helped!

Okay well there is this boy named Luan and i really like him,He iss soooo sexy and his smile is the best thing in the world,but then again there is this boy named lany that likes me alot but wont tell me so like im confused,I like lany i used to like be in love with him but he was a jerk to me so i juss forgot about him, but now lany likes me but dont really like him as much as I did,soo what do i do??

I think that if Luan doesn't like you then go with lany since he likes you and you at least kind of like him. if you totally don't have a chance with Luan then you should forget about it. You can't just spend your life sitting around wiating...you didn't do that with lany so why do that with luan? anyway, since you like luan the most you should go with him unless he doesn't like you then you have a back up guy. but you don't ALWAYS have to have a guy on your arm so feel free to be single for a little bit and look around

i git really bad cramps at school from my period.
what can i do?

Advil, Ibeprophin (or however you spell it), Motrin. Lots of stuff would work. I would take a pill before your going to school. Then i would take another one at lunch depending on what time it is--look on the back of pill container so you can see how long it has to be between doses.

hope i helped!

I exercise for 45-60 minutes a day on one of those bicycle things in my house...and I have a few questions. First, is this a good amount of time in order for me to loose weight? If so, how long will it take me to loose 10-15 pounds (with a good diet)? Second, is it normal for my thigh muscles to swell afterward? Third, I don't want my thighs to be huge with muscle...they alreay are muscular. Will this work out do more fat-burning or muscle-building?

Thanks much.

Okay, i'm only going to answer a few questions because i don't know some of the answers...like i said on my column i'd rather say i don't know then give you bad advice.
so here i go with what i know.

I know how you feel with big thighs..i have HUGE ones and its because i'm a runner. Honestly, if you don't want big thighs you might want to turn to a different way of exercising. mine keep growing..but i'm not giving up running becaus i love it! BUT i do sugest some pushups for uper arm muscle building. and this work out does both fat-burning and muscle-building. Basicly, it burns the fat an then when theirs nonew left, it basicly starts to make it muscle, only in your legs. i think that 45-60 is a great amount of time to exersise everyday! to make sure your gettin a good diet go to this site and fill out the information so you can see what you should be eating everyday for your age and everything.

I'm a freshman, 15. All my friends are having sex with their boyfriends, I want to have sex with my boyfriend...but I'm scared you could say of getting pregnant, there are so many risks.. But I really wanna do it. Am I too young? Should I do it, cuz I do love my boyfriend alot? I'm just so confused.

well, (like everyone else i'm gonna tell you the truth...) you shouldn't do it because everyone else is, do it when your ready..blah, blah, more to worry about, stds, blah, blah. yeah so anyway, --now that thats over-- =] if you truly deep down in your heart love or like your boyfriend a lot and you've talked about it, then thats okay. but you need to make sure you want to and it sounds like you do but if none of your friends were to be doing it..would you do it? thats what the real question is here, it sounds kind of like you only really care about this because your the only one not doing it. but if you were the only one doing it, would you have done it in the first place? also, many people who have sex for the first time later regreat it. you don't want your first time to be like that. plus, you might want to start birth control, because even though you use a condom it might break and there is a small % that the condom won't work and sperm can go through it. you need to also be aware if your boyfriend is ready, sometimes--not in most cases but sometimes-- the guy isn't ready but the girl can preasure them into doing something they're not ready for. I feel as though once you take all of these facts into consideration you will make the right choice. Ohh...i almost forgot make sure your boyfriend--if not a virgin-- gets tested for an std. you don't want to get one from one wrong move, one sentence that you could have said to know. but anyway, research may help, but not nessicarily because everyone is different so what happens to one person may not happen to another let alone you.

i have thin hair that comes to about three inches below my shoulders i want some website that have some hair style how tos that are cute and sophisticated and not teeni bopper looking no offense to anyone but i dont want the same kindof hairstyles that middle and highschoolers are wearing.please dont give me your own instructions just give me some website links

OMG i have the exact type of hair and the exact prob. but i know that you could take hair in the frong and put it back in a poof...that looks really cute. or you could wear a messy bun. Basicly, if you go to google, and type in hairstyles for thin hair you get 90,040 sites that have something to do with it. Just look there. out of ALL those websites i'm sure you'll find something!

so i run mostly everyday for about an hour ..about 5 times a week. but during the days that i dont run, its like im getting fatter.. literally. like i feel my stomach got bigger and that is the area where im trying to target.. so does that mean i have to go running everyday so my stomach doesnt get any bigger? thanks for any help

Well, actually, running is basicly targeting your legs. The only thing your really doing is toneing your leggs and lossing calories, this doesn't nessisarily mean that your not losing wair its just that you are losing it in your legs rather then in your stomach, whis is where you want to. I think you should start doing curlups to start to sculpt your abs the way you want.

M'kay well...
I'm 13 and I'm going into High School next year
I'm about 194 lbs
But I don't look it!
To me I like like 150 lbs
But anyway...I wanna be thin.
I want a flat stomach because I'm tired of loosing every guy I like to 'skinny girls'
Not to be mean to thin girls
Hell my best friend is thin
But thats off topic
My Mom wants me to go on diet pills.
But I'm stubborn and say 'no'
I try to eat right
But I just cant help but eat my snack foods
Can you someone please list some way I can get thin by September of 2008?
I don't wanna go into High School fat and have people make fun of me.....

I don't know about diet pills but i don't think that they would work. [just like the people before me] anyway, i think that you should fins something that you really enjoy and just do that. For example, if you like to dance, just dance and get exercise videos that all have to do with dancing. same thing goes for running BUT you can't find videos on that =] to stay away from the snack food, you should have it as a "treat" if you did an hour of running and walking treat yourself to 1 -- only 1 -- bag of 100 calorie brownies or something else that has little or no calories. stay away from gatorade as it is pure sugar and will just cause you to bloat. also, don't drink energy drinks, pop or coffe. try to stay more twards the water and vitimen water etc.

Okay, so i used to think hooking up was sex...most people do. Well some people in my school were saying like "omg jen and bret hooked up this weekend!" (im in 8th grade btw) and i thought wait, its way to early for sex and i asked wait what did they do, they said they made out. So people-boys and girls, of all ages, what in your mind is hooking up?

i think that hooking up is having sex. but i think that you might want to tell these boys not to say that because if someone herd that and went and told their parents or the princibel they could get into a lot of trouble...it honestly, depends on what THEY think hooking up means. but i think that if someone wants to say that they made out or are going out why can't they just say that instead of saying hooking up?!

my boyriend cheat on me , is it possible for a cheater (who wont admit that he did) to not do it again or do you think h will keep cheating

Anyone is capable of cheating
i think that it really depends on how good of a relationship you guys have. if its been kind of rocky then most likely it won't stop. i belive that you need to sit back and think about how he has been behaving and if you think that this is likely to happen agian if things stay the way they are. if your relationship is perfectly fine maybe you guys need to just sit down and talk alone to find out if he doesn't like something your doing etc. Therefore, i can not tell you weather or not he will do it again. but everyone is capable of it. weather or not they do it... tahts another story.

I’ve been going out with this girl I’m not sure about my feelings about her.she definitely likes .Actually she loves me.but im not sure about my feelings gor her.like how do I know if I like her.i have mixed feelings and I don’t know if I love her.

You don't have to love her. most people don't know what love is. anyway, i think that if you think about her a lot or if you guys are like supposed to hang out and your like OMG I Can't wait! then you deffinetly like her. but don't dump her just because your unsure. you might make a mistake. don't break up with her until you KNOWW its the right thing to do

i have had braces for three years and im still going to have them a year and a half longer.

so, the problem is, every time i meet a guy, a good looking one that i like, i immediately just assume that he is soooo "out of my league." and it basicly all boils down to the fact that i have braces. i just feel like he'll look at me and feel like "i could never kiss her!" im very self concious about them. and the weird thing is, i like my body, i like my personality, i like my skin, my hair, all that stuff. i am confident that i am very friendly and like-able. its just that when im in a public place, and i want to talk to a hot guy i see, i feel like theres no way that he'll have the same feeling of seeing a pretty girl when he sees me- just because i have braces.

so i feel like i always have to hook people with my personality, or by being funny, which is fine, since its good that i just want to be myself and not be popular because im good looking. but i cant help but feel jealous of the girls who can grab hot guys just because they're a hot girl.


i understand how you feel. but its nothing to be ashamed of. guys like it when girls have confidence. so even if you don't like your braces, so what shrug it off. if you like everything else, just work it! lol i think that if you stop holding yourself back, you'll find out that people will like you for who you are rather than you teeth..also, on the bright side, you'll have streight teeth!

Never in my life will I do this again.

I'm making a very long story short.
-i needed a ride home from a party
-friend said he could and wanted to hang out anyways
-got n car @ 2am. Said I had 2 b home at 230
-we didn't kno where to go... drove around to big houses n hills
-i said to turn around. He finally did.
>turned off engine.
>grabbed me ( you know when u watch movies and the girl gets raped? Well I always think, 'o why doesn't she jus play it off so he doesn't get mad?' well I did!) tried to kiss me I kissed him back after saying no.
>shoved my hand on his thing through his pants.
>shoved his hand on my private part.
[This still occured even though I kept saying NO. He kept saying ITS OK.]
>finally stopped n kept drivin
-drives a different way to this place to view the city.
-pulls over.
>grabs me across his lap, puts his tonge down my throat.
>tried to get up. He pulled me back down. And tried to kiss me again. I finally got up & said we gotta go home!
-on ride home we act like nothing happened.
-drops me off. Done.

I don't know if I should tell him how I feel? Ignore it? Act like it never happend?
I never want to see him again. But I have to because we go to the same school.

I'm not that type of girl AT all. I'm a virgin, but most people don't think so. Maybe he didn't? I can't believe he thought I would do that. I can't believe he did that to me.

I personally, disagree with the last answer. Weather or not his guy is your friend, what he did was wrong. IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT!! i can't stress that enough. you didn't do anything. and since when did a kiss hurt anyone?! i think that you should talk to someone about it maybe a school counsler or parent or friend. its not like you did anything wrong, you just needed a rise home.

don't act like nothing happened because thats what he wants. if you were to go to the authorities he would get in serious trouble. because if you hadn't have done what you did, you could have been the next victim of rape. I strongly suggest going and talking with someone. it sounds like you NEED to talk to someone. and i do not advise ever assosiating with this boy again, he may think you changed your mind

hope i helped
