Does anyone have any methods of getting rid of old acne scars? I've been using dark spot correctors for a long time and it doesn't seem to help. I even use sunscreen whenever I go out to prevent it from darkening. I've tried a lot of home methods like lemon juice, etc. but nothing works. I have brown skin so they're highly noticeable even under my makeup. I try not to use thickening makeup too to prevent new pimples from coming but it seems like such a tight balance that I have to maintain.
If your desperate enough, like willing to pay just about any price, I know something you can buy to get rid of acne scars, but it'll cost you a pretty penny. And I'm talking $300. You can go to triabeauty.com and they have a tool you can use across your skin that will make your skin clear and prevent future blemishes by killing the bacteria that causes the acne in the first place. It does cost a lot, but it guarantees a 90 day refund if it doesn't work for you. So like I said, it depends on what lengths your willing to go if this advice is useful for you or not

I am an extremely petite woman. I'm about 5"1, Asian and with tiny bone structure. Ballet dancer's build, basically. I wear 00 pants, size 2 dress and 32A bra and though not completely shapeless (I have long legs and a defined waistline), I am extremely skinny and fragile-looking.
There are literally no men I have ever met that are attracted to chicks who look anything close to me. Every single guy I know is obsessed with the blonde hair extensions, blue eyes and big boobs, and it feels like I'll never be able to compare. I suppose if I was persistent I could get someone to date me, but during the date I know they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from constantly stealing looks at the voluptuous all-American woman at the next table.
I think you may be too worried about your looks. I do think you should eat a little more, 'cause you sound like you may be underweight. I'm saying gain some for your health, not for the fact of you wanting to attract guys. I was really self conscious at one point, and worked hard to get to the weight I need to be. I did it for myself though, not so guys would look at me. Now, every straight girl wants guys to look at her, so I understand. Everyone is truly beautiful, but if you are worried about how you look, maybe you just need the right hair, skin, nail, and makeup products. Find the clothing and products that you like, and try eating just a little more every day. Get some recommendations at a hair or beauty salon and find the person you want to be and that will make you feel happy. Now, if you find a guy and he likes blonde hair, big boobs, ect. Don't get work done just for that one specific guy, no matter how much you like him. I promise you will end up regretting it. If you find the right look you want but still can't get a guy, don't change your look. If you have to, join a dating website. You would be surprised how many guys you could find, and someone that likes your looks and loves you just the way you are.

13/f.Ummmm,I am in the 8th grade and one of my good friends some way have gotten pregnant. My friend doesn't know that my bestfriend and me know that she is.My best friend had to do some for my friend on her fb page because her phone is going to be off. So she told her to text her boyfriend that her phone is going to be off. My Best friend just have texted me sending me pictures of the messages between my friend and her bf talking about abortions and if she is going to keep the baby. Her child's mother talked to her too. Right now my most concern is like I know that its like we invading her privacy,but I need an adult advice. I want to tell my mother,but my mother would most likely make me stop talking to her or hanging with her. But now I don't know how I'm going to face her in school tommrow. Also,she told me many times that her father child use condoms,but it seem like they don't. So please tell me what to do. THANK TOU!
Dear friend pregnant,
You can let your friend know that you know she is pregnant without letting her know your friend accidentally saw the text and then sent it to you. She obviously didn't mean to get pregnant if her boyfriend asked whether or not she was keeping it. If she meant to get pregnant, she would automatically keep it. When someone is pregnant, they start having side affects. Things like vomiting, food cravings, exhaustion, lack of sleep, headaches, dizziness, the list goes on. Let your friend know if you have seen any of these side affects. It will be obvious and she never has to know your friend saw the text. If she is truly your friend, and trust you like friends should, then she will tell you. Don't get angry that she didn't tell though, 'cause pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but if you didn't mean to get pregnant it can be really scary. Talk to her once you see the side affects and tell her if she doesn't want to keep it, she can put it in an orphanage so it will be given a loving home. I wouldn't recommend letting your mom know if she won't let you hang around her anymore. Right now may be the time your friend needs you the most, hair maybe not know how to tell you. See about talking to a different adult that you can trust. Maybe a young adult still in their 20s that can give you adult advice, but will be young enough to understand to situation from her view point. But right now your friend needs you, androstenedione likely wants you to know, but is scared. The three of you get together and tell her that you know and will be there for her, and support her. It will make her feel so much better that someone knows and she has someone she can put her worries on.

I went t0 the doctors and she said I had herpes she just looked at me and gave me meds but never did a real test on me.I have herpes. I gave it to this guy and now he's going to prosecute me. I have a two year old and I can't go to jail. I was raped perviously by another guy and was embarresed.I don't know who the guy was. I didn't know I had an out break. I take meds everyday. So does he have a case? I asked the doctor if it was illegal for me to not tell anyone she said no. I dunno if this is true. HE now has herpes. What do I do.
Dear I gave him herps,
I know this may be hard for you, but you should probably just be honest and tell the truth. I know it may be hard, and now one likes talking about being raped, but in this case, telling him would be the easy way out. Sorry if my advice isn't what you want, it's just the best thing I have for your case. Sorry:(

My ex-boyfriend (Sammy) broke up with me on December 26th. He was older than me and after he broke up with me, I met Edward but we broke up today. Anyways, Sammy used to call me cutie and I loved it. Now, I don't let anyone else call me that. Today, I found out that he died because someone hit him with a car. I remember that the last thing I said to him was "look at the stars because we're both under the same sky and I'm sure we're looking at the same bright stars." Now that he's gone, I'm going crazy. I still love him and I have no idea of what I should do. I'm just too young to be going through this and I can't take it anymore. My life is too hard and sometimes I don't want it.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I think you need someone to talk to and grieve with. It's hardl lose someone you love, and I can't say that this is just a passing pain, 'cause it's not. The pain will ease, but everyone someday in their life losses someone they care very deeply about. Visit his grave and talk out your feelings to him. Sometimes when there are words you want to say, it will help to go where he is or will be buried and speak. He may not speak back, but at least you can say how much you truly love and care for him.

So, I FULLY awoke to a woman's playfully evil laugh. In my head, I asked, "What the hell was that?!" And she said, "Why? Is it wrong?" And then I felt soft, delicate hands on my side, and you know when you were six years old and you had a friend try to playfully push you off the bed? That's what she did. Then she joked about shoelaces or something, but I can't remember.
Please don't tell me I was dreaming, because I know myself. I know when I'm fully awake.
How can I possibly communicate with her like that again? Please help! I felt so safe and loved with her.
If she appeared once, it's likely she will visit again. Maybe, maybe not. You can never tell. If she does appear again, you should get answers. It may not be safe.

is that weird? is there etiquette for that? he didn't do it back to me, did i mess things up?!? or does it mean he's just shy? it was my gut reaction, but i'll stop doing it with guys if i have the etiquette all wrong.
I do the same thing. He was probably shy and didn't know how to react. If he's shy, and didn't expect you to put your arm around him, it was probably instinct to freeze. I've met guys like that. They will let you do it, but are too shy to do it back. IF he appeared like he could be no more comfortable with it, he may either be used to it, or not a touching person. Unless he was really shy about it, I doubt he gave it any thought.

Thanks for the advice but he literally just left me. He told me that he's in love with my best friend and that I'm annoying and I never give him space. Ive been with him ever since January 1st and we used to be happy. He just now told me that he stopped loving me at the end of that month because I loved someone else. He's totally wrong because I only have eyes for him. I guess that doesn't matter now because he's gone and he doesn't even care if I kill myself. I thought he was different.
He knows you only have eyes for him, he just wants someone else to pin the blame on. I'm sorry. It's hard now, but one day you will find that someone who truly cares about you for who you are. Maybe even the last person you would expect. You may be looking at the school jock while your Prince Charming is the class nerd. it's hard losing someone you care about, but don't lock yourself up in your house, get out and talk to people. Get your most trusting friends together, and see if they know someone, even if you don't fall in love right away, maybe love will blossom and you will have someone to keep your mind off the jerk who ran after your best friend

My puppy that is almost 2 years old in human years is going into heat and keeps throwing up, is that normal?
Yes, it is perfectly normal. Many are like that, including humans. Dogs going into heat is just like a girls period. I sometimes will get sick and often skip meals. If your dog also refuses to eat, don't worry, it's not permanent. It all has to do with her going in heat

so i recently have been on a few dates with this guy and things are going well so far, meanwhile a different guy (they slightly know eachother) started liking me and just asked me out knowing that i am dating the other guy. all this aside, theres a third guy who is close with both of them who i actually like a lot, i know based on things he has said to my friends that he would date me if it werent for his friends. i realize this makes me sound horrible but in the event that things dont pan out with the first guy, since it is very new, how do i get the 3rd guy to ask me out without feeling like hes being a bad friend?
His friends are obviously the cause for this, so try to befriend them. They may not like you, or know you, and that can affect their decision. If you try to be their friend, maybe they will like you, and let you date him. They may just want what's best for him. A lot of people are like that, myself included. I don't want people taking advantage of my friends, and maybe they feel the same way and that's the cause for their actions. Best thing to do to keep him from losing his friends, and still be able to date you, is do what you can to be their friend first, so they will approve of you two

I'm a senior in high school and I really don't have any friends. There are people that I say hi to once in a while when I see them but we're not very close. I do have one very close friend but we have no classes this year together and barely even talk anymore. I spend my free period and lunch in the library by myself doing work. Even in my classes I have no one to talk to and I feel really pathetic just sitting there. I'm a nice and friendly person but I can't seem to make any friends. I also have very low self esteem, which I know is causing me a lot of problems but I can't seem to change it. I'm always feeling like a loser. I do well academically but I can't even participate in my classes because I'm worried about others will think. I feel like no one wants me around and I feel useless and worthless. I just can't wait for this school year to end, I'm going to college this year and I really want to try to talk to people more and make some friends. I usually don't go up to someone and talk to them first because I feel like I'll be bothering them or they won't wanna talk to me. Anyways, I'm not really asking for advice, I just wanted to say this since I have no one else to really talk about it with. My life at home isn't really any better.
You sound like your too low in self esteem and need more confidence. I took up hypnosis online and it will help you. Listen every day for a week or two and it will help you free of charge. I know some people that hypnosis is some kind of mind control, but it's not. It just helps you do what you want to do, without the part of your brain that's always pulling you back. It may be hard now, but believe me, this truly honestly does help. I've done many hypnosis session for multiple things. Confidence, happiness, weight loss, memory improvement, whatever. I couldn't believe how much I changed, and finally became the person I wanted to be. Just find one that people recommend, even on YouTube, and plug in headphones while you sleep. Your subconscious mind will pick up the message, and give you the confidence you need. I really hope you try this

So I was adopted by my grandma. My mom was in my life, though. Basically my mom and my grandma both raised me. Anyway, I'm 24 and I'm living in my own townhouse with my boyfriend in a completely different county. When I lived at home, I paid the bills and helped any way I could, because I lived in the house. However, now I have my own bills I need to pay. My grandma called me constantly asking for money to pay her such-in-such bill because she couldn't afford to pay it. I refused her once, and she would always bring up the fact she adopted me and that she raised me and that I owed her for it. Then, I end up having to go to court FOR her because the old landlord sued her and she refused to go. I'm now having to pay this debt to him because I was the one who showed up. Now, again, I'm having to go to court because of something she won't pay and won't go to. I tell her that I shouldn't have to go, and she, once again, brings up the fact that she raised me and that I owe her for it. It makes me feel so horrible. I didn't ask to be born, why does she keep doing this to me? And not only that, but it is getting me and my boyfriend into HUGE fights. What can I do about this?
If she adopted you, she made an agreement to take care of you and is required by law to do that. You don't owe her anything. you didn't have to help pay bills when you lived there, but did it anyway. You now live on your own, and shouldn't do all that for your grandmother. You should just block her calls. If she calls, it's just gonna be about needing money or whatever. Tell her that your over 18 and no longer have to listen to her. Change your number even if you have to, and make it to where she has no way whatsoever to get in contact with you. if she was required to go to court, and she was the one being sued, let her stay and not go. That will only cause her to end up in prison, and that should scare her enough to make her lay off. If you don't want to go, just ignore her when she tries to get ahold of you

Me and my cousin used to be friends. Real close. That all changed when my family became homeless and I had to spend time with her more often. I felt very uncomfortable around her. The reason is because she has a hoarding problem just like her mom. She also has an issue with personal hygiene. She doesn't shower or cleans her clothes properly. Her mom is a pet and toy hoarder that lives in the basement of my grandma's house. I can't even enter the basement because it's so full of toys, clothes, cages, and pets (dead and alive). I couldn't stand being in that house because I felt so filthy just standing there by the front door. My cousin has not only no sense of personal hygiene, but no acknowledgment of personal space or boundaries. She has attempted to grope me multiple times during my homeless days and tried kissing me just to make me feel uncomfortable. I've told her that I don't want her doing that to me but she ignores it. It has driven me away from our friendship and now I can't stand her anymore.
Her mom died recently and now she has to stay with my family over the weekend and it's caused me to be beyond stressed. She's behaved inappropriately in my home and has been given a free pass to do so. Normally my mom would tell everyone to keep quiet, but now she's been telling only me to be quiet. She's even told me that she wants to replace me with my cousin and now I feel that everyone in my family really does hate me. My dad tells me that he strongly dislikes my cousin for the same reasons I do (loud, inappropriate, sexual, ect.) but still makes me feel like I'm the one with the problem. Just today I asked my cousin if she could keep it down because I'm sick and my head has been hurting and she tells me no because "you're loud all the time anyway, so don't tell me to be quiet." She then called me a jerk for this. I'm sick of this "free pass" to behave this way and I'm sick of being made the main suspect with this problem. What exactly have I done wrong? Get sick with a pounding headache? I can't even discuss this with my family because they'll say "you should've been nicer to her." She doesn't deserve my kindness any longer. She doesn't even deserve to be treated like an innocent baby. I honestly don't care if her mom is dead or not, she needs to stop acting this way.
I completely understand where your coming from. Sometimes it's not easy living with someone, even one your close to. Your parents shouldn't give her special treatment, but I guess they feel they have to considering her loss. You didn't do anything wrong. I wouldn't done the same, and have! I've lived with someone I love very much, but it wasn't easy because there are no manners and would always leave me with a mess to clean up. Maybe you need a little break. When someone is Annoying you this bad, sometimes you need to be able to ignore them for a little while. See about maybe staying over at a friend's house, that way you can cool off and have a little break. I've lived with someone like that, and it always helps to stay at another's house and be able to forget about them for a little while and keep your mind off things. Do what you can to ignore her for a while, that way your parents won't get mad when you get annoyed. Being annoyed is gonna happen when you live with someone like that, so the best thing to do is get away for a while

Hi Everybody,
So I am 19 years old and recently my mother and younger brother moved away, and I moved into my fathers house. As well as my boyfriend of 3 years even more recently moved away. I now live with my older brother, younger sister, step mom and father. I cannot be upstairs for long periods of time because I have some issues with my sister and I get very mad and irritated with her because she does not know what an inside voice is. Anyways, my mother and I are very close, and she is truly my bestfriend. And ever since everyone moved away I feel very lonely. I have never had many friends, so I basically sit in my room and do homework, and go to work, and go to college. I get very anxious not having anyone to talk too, and I have a strong desire to get a dog. I feel as though a dog could lift my spirits and save me from becoming depressed. The problem is, my step mom and sister have 4 cats 1 small dog and 1 guinea pig. I was close with my mother dog but she obviously moved away with my mother, and I just want to feel wanted. I know that having a pet that I could love and would love me back, and keep me company would fix my problem, but how on earth am I supposed to convince them? They know I want a dog, but they don't realize that I need a dog.
A dog can really help one from entering depression. When I was depressed, my dog is the only thing that kept me going, and I probably would have killed myself if not for my dog. If you want to convince them, prove you are ready and will fulfill the responsibility. If they find you responsible, they may be find with a small dog.

I've been counting calories on-and-off for probably 3 years now. I've always kind of thought I had anorexia, but I started counting calories again in September and still am. Here's the problem.
I don't know why, but I eat at planned times and such. Then I look forward to it. My mind is focused on food ALL THE TIME. For example; I eat a breakfast sometime in the morning, depending when I wake up. I eat lunch in the 12:00 hour. I may have a snack at 2 or 3PM. Then dinner at 5-6PM, and I usually binge on a snack later at night. Anyway, why do I always look forward to the times I get to eat? Could this be a binge eating disorder? That makes me feel even worse. I count calories (I'm an extreme master at it, honestly) every day. 1,000 is my absolute limit. On average, I eat between 600-800 calories. I get literally no exercise at all since I'm homeschooled and I have a lot of mental health problems (What a surprise..). Anyway, what is wrong with me? Is it maybe because this is really the only eventful thing of my day? I'm 5'2 or 5'3 and I weigh around 93 pounds.
I think being low on calories for some is normal. I'm the same, except 940 calories has been my highest amount. I'm homeschooled too, but still get to exercise, so I don't know how many calories that makes me having a day. Being low on calories, it is pretty normal to look forward to eating. The few times I go high in calories like if I'm going out to eat, I hate myself for what I've eaten and don't want to eat again, so the affect works based on the calories you've consumed. To keep your mind off food, you probably need to fill yourself up more. I eat about the same amount of calories as you, but get full with every meal. Eat things that are very low in calories so you can consume a lot of it and maybe your stomach will tell your brain to stop thinking of food all the time

And as fit as a Victoria's Secret model, like Oluchi or Candice. I started going to the gym and someone told me the elliptical and bicycle are just cardio, so I waste time doing them. I can't afford a trainer, so what can I do? I want to lose about 70 pounds in a year, to be my goal of 5'4" and ~105 pounds. I don't look as fat as I weigh, I used to do school sports, but I was never blessed with a great metabolism. Apparently it means I have more muscle but I felt I struggled the same with weights with my skinnier teammates. I can accept I'll never be my dream height of 5'8", I just want to be slim and feminine, no longer some awkward average bulkyness. I dont care much for curves, I just want skinny legs, arms, and to have a skinny stomach without sucking it in. My neck had this weird baby fat that never properly goes away, too. I eat generally healthy, and have cut back on my binging. For lent I gave up junk on every day but Sunday, and so far, this Sunday I didn't go crazy and get a pizza and eat a quart of icecream, I just had one fanta and ate healthy the rest of the time. My family is African so there's naturally a healthy diet, but any tips I'll take anyways, cause western food is probably my biggest temptation. When I visited Africa I lost tens of pounds without even trying, and I felt fresh. I'd just like tips and reassurance. I have the ballet beautiful tapes and I go to a gym. I used to be embarrassed about showing I was working out or improving myself in General, idk why, but now I'm an adult and I want to look good and set a foundation for a healthy and happy adult life. I wear mediums and larges and I'd love to wear small, even extra small. It would make vintage shopping easier, cause most good stuff is small, or looks good on a smaller frame. I'm not in danger of anorexia or anything, in countries out of America skinny people are normal. So there must be something I can do to be like that, too, and cut my risk for many diseases caused by obesity. Thanks for your time, in advance
Something that has become pretty popular lately is garcinia fructis. It's a pill that's made out of a fruit from Africa that looks like a small pumpkin. The pill has been proven to be totally safe and won't hurt you at all, and it will build your metabolism up tremendously. You don't even have to cut back or diet, this pill will help you lose weight and aide in energy levels. Do some research on it if your not sure. This pill can even be bought at walmart in the pharmacy section now. I know most diet pills are unsafe, but the only thing in this pill that makes you lose weight is the foreign fruit. It's affordable and works!

So i'm 16 years old and my mom recently been asking me questions amif im still a virgin and stuff, could she actually take me to a doctor and could determine if i've been sexually active ? Even though I don't want to? Without my permission?
She can if your under 18. There is a doctor that can see whether or not you are still a virgin or not. Many parents who don't trust their kids bring them to these doctors.

I met a new friend at school and we are getting to be good friends (far as I can tell) anyways I had issues before with previous friendships not given them space etc ,anyways I learned from that. The teacher met with him and asked him if he had any problems with me hanging out with him and he said no. then she made a plan and she said we can no longer have lunches together and only can sit together once a week before school and we can say hi and have a small talk in the hall. We both had to agree with this ,Also she told me ,He is not ur friend ,you can only be friendly with him. She said we are teaching you too Personal space and limits with people. (he had some problems like i did but not with me ) is the teacher being unfair ? we are both in highschool
I'm the same way when it comes to not giving people much personal space, considering I'm very talkative, and can honestly say that yes, I do think the teacher is being unfair. Your personal life should be none of his/her business. If your becoming good friends, then don't let what a teacher says affect that. See if the principal agrees. If not, then he will speak with the teacher and say to lay off. If he does, then you may have to be friends outside of school. A teachers job is to teach, nothing more. Make sure that's clear. Just not to where you will get punished

I want Shaylan, I want Josh, and I want Jay. I just don't know what to do! They all offer me things.. Shaylan is in love with me and I've liked him since 5th grade (I'm a freshman in Highschool).. Josh is the sweetest thing ever and is in love with me, plus we're like best friends... And Jay is so hot and is willing to wait for my decision.. :'( and I need to make a decision fast before I loose all of them.
If you want to know who it is you like best, try all three. Now I'm not saying to have three boyfriends, I'm saying to tell them you don't know and want to try one date with each to see who it is you truly like best as a boyfriend. The decision won't be easy, but it might help narrow it down. Think of all the likes and dislikes you have of each one, and which one will cooperate the best. Make sure your family approves first, or you may make a choice and have your parents on your back. To start with, take two of the boys and get some paper and compare them. Then after you narrow it down do it again with the third. And talk to your friends and family and see who they prefer, and they will help you and tell their reason for picking him. Lots of luck👌

Today I was walking to my grandmother's house and when I was about 2 minutes away, a guy in a white truck pulled up and said hi. He claimed that he saw me at the store, but I did not recognize him at all. He gave me his card with his cell phone number on it and asked me if i would promise to text him later on in the day. I didn't text him, but my main question is, should I be concerned?
He sounds like a stalker. I mean, why else would he follow you from the store? Turn the number over to the police and ask them to do a background check on this guy and maybe check him out. And keep your location services off, 'cause if he is a stalker, he can very well track your phone. And be careful where you go. For all you know the guy could be a kidnapper or rapist. It's not normal for someone to follow you. You should be concern, but don't automatically think he's any of these things, you just need to consider the possibilities.
