advice
I'm in middle school and well I started going to that school about 3 or 4 months ago and we were on a break for this month and we are going back Monday. I'm pretty nervous. I made friends that are really awesome and I have good teachers too. My friends welcomed me in like that. But my problem is I really don't feel very smart. I feel like I'm not going to pass this year and my fear is getting held back. I'm taking art and Spanish but math is killing me. I don't know anything of it. Because I was homeschooled so I really can't understand this. Any advice how to survive school?
Relax you will do fine! Take time out to study by making flashcards (for vocab-yes math has vocab) and by practicing problems in your math book. (A lot of math books have answers for some problems in the back). You can do that for all your subjects. Also, maybe your teacher can help you or you can get a tutor. You might be able to get an older kid to help you because when you are in high school you need volunteer hours.
Good luck!

how much sleep should i get?
and could stress be causing me not to be able to sleep??
thanx in advance
Teenagers need about 7-8 hours of sleep a night, but most don't get that. I wouldn't get less than 6 hours though, but try for at least 7. Stress can cause you not to fall asleep, so can drinking caffiene too close to when you go to bed, not being tired, and many other things.
Before you go to bed, try to relax and make sure your room is comfotable. Also, try to be active during the day so you are tired at night.
I am throwing a suprise party for mah friendz Anna N' Nicole. The problem is that Nicole is best friendz with a grl named Krista and Anna hates Krista. Should i invite Krista or not? Help Please
Yes you should because it is her best friend! Im sure both would be upset if you didnt. As for Anna, she should have no problem understanding that you are throwing the party for both of them and that Krista is Nicole's nest friend.
Ok I'm 13 years old and my breast are only an 34A. But one of them is bigger than the other! i already figured out that their is no friken hope and that im going to stay this small for the rest of my friken life!!!!! WHAT DO I DO????!!!! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!! HELP!!!!!!!! What do I do about the size and how do i get them the same size and how do i get them bigger?
Stop worrying, your only 13! You still have tons of time to 'grow'! As for them being uneven that is normal as long as it isnt a major difference. (If it is, which I doubt, go see a doctor). They should be the same when your done growing. Theres nothing you can do to make them bigger, except wearing a padded or push-up bra. (You are too young for sugery and I wouldnt recommend it).
Im really unhappy with my nose. I feel like I have a really pretty face accept for it. Its not horrible, but it is something that bothers me. It's a little big and wide. I would never consider plastic surgery. Im worried that it has grown from since i was younger. Im 16/f and a late developer. Will my nose grow into my face more? Or just get bigger :O( lol.
I know how you feel, sometimes I wake up and I HATE my nose.
If you are a late developer, you can still grow into it. Also, there are many people out there in the world that dont like their noses. I don't think it will get any bigger. In all honesty, I think people really dont notice it because we are all too hard on ourselves.
I need advice for awesome birthday present ideas. Like big presents..like a side kick..ect i already have a laptop so not that. thanks
Like the person below me said jewerly from Tiffanys. Also, a new cell phone, video ipod, a nice TV, digital camera, or a pair of designer sunglasses,handbag, or clothes.
If your old enough I guess you could ask for a car!
Sometimes my mom can be my best friend, but often she takes it way too far. She'll ask me very private questions, won't let me have time to myself, and whenever I don't get invited somewhere she pesters me to basically admit to her that I'm a loser. She's always making me feel worse about myself asking questions like "Why does no one like you? Why don't they invite you places? Why are you sitting home alone again?" I quit cheerleading a few months ago (she was totally against me quitting it) so now she always tells me if I stuck with cheering I'd actually have friends. This really hurts.
I've tried asking her to stop, but then she just tells me I'm too sensitive and to get over myself. I'm not sure what to do about her anymore.
Your mom cares about you and thats a good thing. Try sitting her down and telling her how that makes you feel and that you are working on making friends. Tell her you're glad shes interested but shes making you feel worse. You can also tell her that sometimes you like "alone" time and you would like it if she respected your privacy.
Good luck =)
i dont really pay attention to ratings because i just started but i gave someone a detailed answer and he gave me a 3. its not so much his rating its his comment:
Thank you for your answer. I would give you a 4 but you didn't capitalize. Otherwise it was a good answer.
what does capitalizing have to do with anything?
I think using proper capitalization and grammar makes your advice easier to read, understand, and it looks better.
However, that reason (in my opinion) isnt a good one. Capitalization isn't really a big deal, as long as its easy to read and everything.
He could be one of those picky people or just whatever. I wouldnt worry to much about it. If your other ratings are good, just keep doing the same things.
so on ppls advice columns, it says "average rating 4.77" or something like that. how do i get it on mine?? ive asked this before and someone said you need at least 5 ratings of 5. but ive done that and now its still not showing up. thanksss
Basicly what he said below me, you need at least 5 ratings but they all have to be in the last 10 days to count.
is this a healthy diet ?
i heard it takes 5 days to lose 10 pounds
and 10 days to lose 20 pounds
is this true ?
I think its the one where you just drink lemonade right? Thats what it said on the news. So, if thats the one you are talking about, then NO its not healthy or good for you.
Sure, you'll lose weight because you arent eating but when you start eating again it will come back. Also, not eating can make you dizzy, feel faint, etc. Any diet that says it works that fast is not healthy. The healthy way is to watch what you eat (add more veggies/fruits and cutting out junk) and exercising!
How do you stay true to yourself?
To me staying true to yourself is keeping your morals and beliefs, not giving into negative pressure, and not doing something because everyone else is doing it. You believe in yourself and stand up for yourself and dont let people make you something your not.
I have a small bedroom. Does anyone have any
tips on how I can make it look bigger?
-Light colors! Dark colors will make it look smaller. I used to have dark carpet (no clue why), but when I took it out and put a light tan color my room looked way bigger.
-Keep it organized. Basicly keep your room neat, expeically the floor.
-Dont have too much furnature in it. Just have the basics. Take out stuff you dont use or need.
My boyfriend and I were at an amusement park and we were in the drop off parking lot. So we were both a little dizzy and decided to sit down in the shade near the grass. It was really hot but the thing is.. I'm allergic to grass so I sat on his lap.
10 minutes later..
The security came by.. and said that we should sit appropriately because he's been getting *complaints.
Okay, were we really sitting inappropriate? I don't know.. it's not like we were having sex or anything. He had one leg curled in so I can sit there :/
I didnt think it was that bad..
Not in my opinion. Like you said you werent doing anything.
It could of been parents of small children or the security guard was just being jerky. Or really conservative people.
Dont worry about it.
I'm 100% italian so naturally I'm gonna have dark hair. Anyway my hair is dark brown everywhere! I have dark arm hair [gross] but that i dont really care about it's my stomach. I have gross dark stomach hair! It's nasty!! How can I lighten it up or something to make it less noticeable!?
Please Help!!!
I know what you mean even though I only have a few black hairs. It still annoys me to death!
I wouldnt shave it (thats what I did and thats how I got those 5 dark hairs), but try waxing or a product like Nair. Im sure theres a bleaching product you can use. Maybe when you are older you could get laser hair removal.
my best friends birthday is in a few days. i dont know what to get her because i want it to be someone really special. does anyone have any ideas of something i could get or make her? thanks so much!
You could make her a piece of jewelry in her favorite color or a friendship one. Also, you could bake her something she likes to eat, like cookies or a cake. Or a scrapbook of your friendship. Make a card with it, too.
how do i get in contact with my friends cuz i want to hang out with them over hte summer.
but they are never online anymore!
what do i do? (im not a phone person at all)
Well if they have a myspace, xanga, etc. you can leave them a comment or message.
Or send them a text message or if they dont do that just pick up the phone and be like "Hey, havent heard from you in awhile. We should hang out soon".
ok. so. im 13 and im going into 8th grade. but im going to a new school next year and its really small only like 20 people in each grade. and im like really shy and i only talk to my friends, so how can i make new friends at my new school becuase im like to shy to go up to someone and say " hi, im melanie........."and like what would you say after that? whats your name? that just sounds so stupid. and i really want a boyfriend this year. i've never had one before and ya. the only guys who like me are the nerdy ones and im ugly so that doesn't really help either.
(i rate for any help at all: ) )
thnx.
Well Im kinda like you. Instead of introducing yourself like in your example (its ok but i wouldnt do it at complete random), talk to the person next to you in a class like "Ugh, I hate this subject/Can you believe all this homework", etc. Just make little statements or start with a compliment. Join clubs and keep a positive attitude and be friendly!
For the boyfriend part, have self confidence. Im sure your not ugly! Dont be afraid to talk to the guys in your class. Just be yourself =)
Good luck
what's a good shampoo/conditioner hair product?
I've heard these work good-
Herbal essences
dove
sunsilk
fructis
suave
My friend said that pantene actually makes your hair worse and fall out!!!
if you can, please rate how well each hair product i've mentioned is. thanks
Pantene IS bad for your hair. Its very drying and doesnt make your hair healthy.
Herbal Essences- 6/10
Dove-3/10 (I personally didnt like it.)
Sunsilk-never tried
Frutis- 8/10
Suave-5/10
I LOVE Loreal shampoos/conditioners. They have one for each type of hair!
does anyone know a product that you put in your hair after you get out of the shower(when hairs wet) that will make my hair not frizz at all? ive tried a bunch but they all make my hair poofy
Aveeda Hang Straight. I swear by it (lol), I have the hair that loves to frizz. You can get it at an aveeda salon or store. (Probably online too). I think its about $15.
Ok, My weight is average for a 13 year old, but my doctor says I'm 8 pounds over weight. How can I lose weight an easy way without having to work too much? I'm kinda lazy with everything, so... I just need some advice on how to lose weight. And if you could, suggest some food. I like to eat.
Well, add some more exercise. It can be simple, like walking more or riding a bike. As for food, eat healthy. Snack on veggies and fruits and cut down on portions. Cut out some soda and other drinks/foods high in sugar and replace it with water.
