I'm Johanna. I'll Come and Go. What can I say? I try.

One thing I LOVE to do is to analyze dreams. Just tell me about a dream you had, and I'll help you understand what it means. :)

I am really sick of seeing REALLY skinny girls in magazines....anyone else?

yes, definitely. I hate how only really skinny anorexic girls are in magazines and modeling shows. I just don't get how they can make so many small clothes and half the people out there are NOT THAT SIZE! It's not realistic. The media is living in a Fantasy because they refuse to see the real world. Try reading Seventeen (magazine) because they show a variety of models. :)Love yah!

Does anyone know where I can find some good writing classes?

Yeah! Try Writers and Books! Its in the city (Rochester) on University Avenue. You can also go on their website! Its one of those places where you can express yourself and they have cooking, writing, and acting classes! They even have an open mic night. I have been going there for two years now, and I love it!

alright i have a problem sweating and its really gross what can i do for it....will it ever stop

wear deoderant. Specifically look for an antiperspirant because those ones actually KEEP you from sweating. I sugguest teen spirit stick or Dove.Also make sure wash under your arms in the shower to get rid of icky bacteria. Also try talking to your doctor because they can sugguest a special deoderant for people who sweat a real lot.

Ok..I have reeeally curly hair. I want it to be straight but when I try to straighten it there are 2 problems:
1. It takes me 1 and a half to 2 hours to get it completely straight.
2. My hair only stays straight for a day or overnight..even if I just straightened it.

Are there any easier ways to make my hair straight and make it stay straight for a while?

Thanks ahead of time. I will rate high for helpful answers.

Sincerely-
Curly wanting to go straight

I would go to a hair salon and get them to straighten your hair because it tends to last longer after a hair stylist uses their special gels and creams and straigteners. You can also ask them what creams and gels you should use. In my opinion, I think Garnier Fructis smoothing milk or VO5 detangle and shine spray. Also I reccomned dove shampoo for all hairtypes. And when you get out of the shower, (when your hair is wet) spray hairspray on it. When your hair is dry- try smoothing frizzies down with LA looks hair gel. Good luck! :)

i've seen questions on here & people say that they "cut". this might be a stupid question, but o well...what does "cutting" mean?

Its exactly what rainbow just said. They do it on their wrists most of the time, but its REALLY stupid so don't do it. There is no point whatsoever in doing it and the people who do it are usually low on self esteem.

I'm thinking about getting the top of my ear periced does anyone know how much it hurts? and if it is worth getting it done?

yes it does hurt, but only for a couple weeks. If you get it pierced, just make sure that you keep using cotton balls to put ear sanitizing formula on it. (you should get it for free when you get your ears pierced) This will help make it hurt less. But yeah, I think its worth getting it done, because they look really cute, and I'm sure it would look really cute on you too!

What is Emo? I hear every1 saying it, but i am clueless.

Um actually, coming from a person who is emo, emo doesnt necessarily have to do with depression. Thats called fake emo. Fake emo is when people sit around in their rooms cutting their wrists going, "Omg, i hate my life, I want to commit suicide!" Emo simply means emotional and full of emotion no matter what kind of emotion it is- happiness, sadness, anger, etc. Its a form of expression, just showing strong emotion and being sensitive. It also fits into a certain type of music category like hawthorne heights because they show extreme amounts of expression in their lyrics. Theres nothing wrong with emo...except that it is a label....but anyways....thats just my opinion on it. :)

ok i heard yuo do dream analyzations. so heres one for you:
ok i had a dream the other day that i was making out with one of my best friends N that we were dating...i would never date him b/c hes like a brother to me....

What do you think my dream means?

Heres what your dream might mean. Oh yeah and lets refer to your good guy friend as "Bill"

1. It just means you feel really comfortable around "Bill", since you said he was like a brother to you. There could possibly be hidden feelings you have for him, but since you are sure there are not, then I think it just means you feel really confident around him. Perhaps "Bill" represents someone you have a crush on because sometimes in a dream, you reconize the people, in your case- your good friend Bill. But maybe Bill was supposed to be representing someone else in your dream...(your crush or boyfriend)
3. The last thing it could mean is that you're waiting and hoping to make out with a boy real soon. Your mind just picked a random person to show you making out with, to TELL you that you feel ready to makeout/kiss a guy.

Hope I helped! :) Please tell your friends about me! -Johanna

Are diets good to go on? I heard you could like faint from them....also, I just want to eat nutriciously so what kind of foods are nice and light?

Diets are okay. The key is moderation. Just eat small portions. Some diets can be dangerous though like crash diets where you don't eat anything. Some foods that are light and healthy are yogurt: try dannon light and fit. Also stay away from red meat. Eat white meat like chicken and turkey. Also eat all your veggies because they have good vitamins and minerals!

I don't think I'm that fat...but I do have a belly that hangs out and I do have large thighs. I was wondering if anyone knew any excersizes for this....

You should do situps everyday. Also do thigh streches by opening and closing your thighs in the air. Also you can go on a moderated diet or just get involved with activities. Keep doing this and there should be improvement!

I think I need to lose weight. Noone says I need to, but noone says I don't need to either. Should I try to lose some weight? And if so, what are some ways I can stick to my workout! Thanks twistedsister17!

If that is what is going to make you comfortable, then go for it! It's your body, so its up to you. Some ways you can stick to your workout are:

1. Make a schedule.(like a calender) Write the days of the week and then write worked out for: ___.(minutes, hours) Number of situps:____ Number of Pushups: ___
2. Just think about that ultimate goal of losing weight. Workout and excersize for every day! You'll be glad you did! Good Luck! And much, much love. -Johanna

Im going out for a sports team this year. You need to pass a PHISICAL FITNESS TEST TO GET ON THE TEAM. I SUCK at running. im the worst runner in my class. if i can't run, i don't make the team. this sport is like the best thing thst's ever happened to me! what am i going to do? (besides train...) oh and FYI tryouts are August 15

Well, I think you need to train as you said before. Eat healthy, practice every day, even try challenging a partner for a run. Just keep working at it. When you try out, if you make it, you should be really proud of yourself, but if you don't, it doesn't mean you have to give running up. You don't have to quit something just because you're not good at it. If you like it, do it. Do it just for fun. And there will be other chances to get on the team. Just keep practicing! Good Luck!

what are some ways do you guys think could help me with this broken heart problem :(

signed : if only i knew

if you feel like your heart is broken, you need to first respect yourself and remember that its not your fault. You need to accept yourself for who you are and be proud of it! Try hanging out with your friends that are girls. Plan a special girls night sleepover and just kick back and have fun! Also you can talk to your mom. I know it sounds lame but she was your age once and she went through everything you're going through. So make yourself a smoothie and rent all the movies you want. Enjoy life. Enjoy yourself. :) Hope I helped!

i got a boyfriend and i think my best friend likes him cuz she gets mad when i talk about him. Should i talk to her about it or just let it go. Cuz my boyfriend hates her and she thinks that him and every boy likes her. Should i talk to her or what should i do?¿

I don't think she likes him, I just think she feels like you only care about your boyfriend and not her. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, it might make her feel sad and lonely, but she doesn't want to show that she is sad so she takes it out as anger. You need to make time for both of them. Plan seperate activities for you both. Maybe Friday can be time to spend with your friend, like have a sleepover or something. Saturday can be your time to spend with your boyfriend, go to a movie or something. You should not talk about your boyfriend infront of your friend though anymore. If she still gets upset, then you need to talk to her and let her know that your friendship with her comes first! Good Luck!

Ok i just met this guy a little bit ago and i have just startd to have feelings for him but there are some problems he is 19 and i'm 15 and he doesnt know i like him but i want to tell him...and but i dont think he will be interestd cuz of the age what should i do??

Well, I would let him know that you like him but I wouldnt sugguest dating them because technically it is "against the law" since he is considered an adult and you are still a minor. But do what you want, its your life! Just ask him if he wants to hang out, or if you're too nervous ask him if he wants to hang out with a group of friends.

I'm like a hugeeee tomboy. Like I wear long shorts and football jerseys. Im 14 and going into highschool, never had a boyfriend. Will i ever get a boyfriend. I mean, i dont wear makeup, and im big bulky and muscular. I want a bf, but i think maybe they are intimidated by me. Changing the way i am is NOT an option, i like who i am. PLEASE HELP.

I think boys are going to start to like you real soon because I know alot of girls who are tomboyish and they all have boyfriends. Alot of guys out there do like girls who are sporty...You should look for someone that shares the same interests as you. Chances are, theres someone out there that likes you already, you just don't know it. Be what you want to be, not what others want to see. :)

Much Love

okay so i met this guy on AIM and his mom was kind of like a teacher in my school last year and i told my mom about it so me and him decided we wanted to meet up at the movies and my mom said it was okay, then like one day before we've gotten the chance to meet he says that this girl said she liked him and then he said he was going to ask her out when before he said he would ask me out first. so now there dating and latly i've been thinking about him so much!!!i want to be with him so bad what do i do? i cant get over him he is so perfect!is there any way i could make him want me back?

If it was me, I would make myself really pretty, walk by and give him a glare. That might work, but it might not. But maybe you should just forget about him....that was kind of a low thing that he did. Find someone new, someone who is honest because to tell you the truth, that guy sounds like a player... and you are way better than him and his "girlfriend"! but I hope everything works out!
