I am 15 years old and have never had a boyfriend. Is that normal? (link)
Yes that's perfectly normal. I have alot of friends who haven't had boyfriends solely because they don't want one. But if you want one and still haven't had one because of one reason or another, get out there and make yourself available. Talk to boys, they're gross and weird some times but they're really okay once you get to know their other sides.


ok well I have my hair maybe a little above my shoulders and my hair when it dries it dries in like screwed up wavys one side all nice the on f**ked up and I need help school start september 7th and I'm going to my first year of high school I need a look that will make me look great and I'm a lil chubby in the face so I don't know what I can do ne suggestions?? plz help I really need it...I usually don't blow dry but I tried it once and my hair was poofy...lol..help me..

I'll rate (link)
If you can get your hands on a straightener and some gel I think you should get it cut into a long pixie cut. It'll look good with any face structure, and if it's longer and just below your chin it'll draw attention from your cheeks to your neck. And here's a tip for blow drying your hair. Wait till it's mostly dry. Then use a calming hair balm to smooth it out an THEN blow dry it with a medium barrel comb. Oh yeah, and if you can find it, invest in Deep shine bio-marine therapy, phyto-marine lusterizer by RUSK. It takes away the frizz, smoothes and shines your hair, and makes it easier to straighten.


How come i give soo many people good advice and i get rated all like 5s and 4s but no one asks me for advice..i never have anything in my inbox..if you want good advice come to me..How come no one is doing that? (link)
I had one in my inbox this morning and I've only been on for a day.


Okay I am seriously about to go crazy! I posted a question about my moms b/f being a jerk before so this kind of continous sort of. But My moms b/f is name dale and he has a 13 yr old son. well his son and friend went to this club for 13-20 yr olds and i felt like sleeping in the basement tonight. I wake up at 2am and find these 2 chicks sleeping in my room! He let his son bring in 2 girls from the club! im about to go nuts cuz i dunno what they are going through in my room! Dale is only doing this cuz he knows im pissed! im freaking 16 yrs old and i have no say about who can sleep in my own freaking room! Do you think im overreacting (link)
You have every right to tell people whether or not to sleep in your room! Tell him that you don't want girls you don't know sleeping in your room and that there shouldn't be girls sleeping over a boys house at the age of 13 anyways! Say if I'm not allowed to do anything of that sort, not that I'd want to, but if I'm not allowed they shouldn't be either! Be OUTRAGED about it. Tell your mother! Tell them all that it's morally irresponsible! And, that if the girls are over age, anything that they do is called STATUTORY RAPE. And your Mom's boyfriend can get in serious trouble and be charged with allowing them to do all that.


i used to drink alot and i mean alot of pop and now im stopping to lose weight but lately ive been getting really bad headaches my mom said its because of the lack of caffine are there any other
ways to get caffine but are healthy too
i rate ! --thanks (link)
If your Mother would allow it, she could let you take a small dose of caffeine through pills. You could take a caffeine pill like no-dose, not enough to keep you awake but enough to set off your cravings and keep the head aches away.


has anyone heard that lemon juice will help ance? has anyone ever tryed it? does it work (link)
Lemon juice only works for oily skinned people with acne. If you don't have oily skin I suggest using toothpaste. And don't cover your whole face in it. Just put it on the big pimples and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Before you put it on though, take a wash cloth with warm water and put it on the area you're going to treat to open up the pores and allow the stuff to work better.


im asking this question for my friend ... a few months ago she wanted to be homeschooled ... then she found this really nice boarding school that she liked A LOT! so she requested information and things of that sort on teh internet and things like that...well she was sure her mom was going 2 say yes...well her mom said that it was A LOT of money 2 pay especially shes one of four kids...four girls...so it kinda sux for her! i feel really badly for her and she asked me 2 write this...she cant go to the boarding school or homeschooled and she doesn't want to go 2 public/private school because in her area...they judge you at pub. and private school...

PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HER AND ME!!

AND AGAIN PLEASE HELP!!

All I have to say is that you'll get judged anywhere you go. If you walk down the street and pass someone ans they happen to look at you you're being judged. If your friend can't go to a private school because it's too much money and tuition for a boarding school is too much too then she'll just have to deal with a public school. I go to a public school and it's easier to avoid people you don't like in a public school because you don't have to sleep there like a boarding school. Being home schooled can prevent your parent(s) from providing proper care for you because it cuts down on work time. So a public school is a better bet.


my best friend changed so much in the past year. when i first met her she was almost prude and she was such a lil goody goody. she said she would never let a guy go up her shirt and how she would be afraid to jerk off a guy because she would think she'd hurt him lol. well she has been with this guy for about a lil bit over a year now. she has changed so much. she's drinking now, she has sex.. like too much sex (she does it with him every night like 3x) i really dont know what to do. i hate the fact that she has changed so much. all of our friends say the same thing and talk behind her back. they say stuff about how shes changed so much and how gross her and her boyfriend are when they are out in public with us. a little while ago her and her boyfriend were on me and my boyfriend's asses about how we hang out too much.. well now they are being hypocrits bc ever since they started having sex, they have been hanging out like everyday. i wonder if its because they wanna have sex? idk but i really need to say something but i dont know how.. what do you think? (link)
My friend has been going out with a guy for almost three years now and they did everything backwards. They had sex before she did anything else to him. That was at 4 months. Now they get in atleast one fight every day and she's afraid they'll break up and she'll feel strange because she lost her virginity to him. So she trys to make it work by being with him all the time. This actually doesn't help anything. It just makes them more prone to fight. So I think your friend is trying to stay around him because she thinks if she leaves for a while he'll find something better and leave her. The drinking and everything else is probably just her way of dealing with the stress. Giving in to sex in a young relationship is a stressful thing and it can have a lot of different effects on the mind. She needs to wake up. Tell her, while you two are alone, that the way she's acting and what she's doing is hurting you and it's hurting herself. Ask her if you can go back to the old days of hanging out like normal people and if you can start it off with something like a girls night in, like watching movies or something, or a girls night out, like going to a new movie with an actor in it you both think is really hot. (Lol.) If this doesn't work then tell her you don't want to lose her as a friend over a guy, and remind her of how stupid it is to give it all up over a guy


I use to hate this girl at my school, i never said anything to her hurtful its just that she acts stuck-up but the problem is that my friend is friends with her and i cant stand being around her, I dont wanna tell my friend because i am scared she will stand up for the girl and stop talking to me. (link)
Just tell your friend that you'd rather not hang out with that girl because she's not your type of person. If your friend insists that you're wrong then give the girl a chance. Talk to her in class once or twice and see what she's really like. If you still don't like her, tell your friend and she should understand. If she doesn't then just give her some time to cool down. And then tell her that it's okay for her to hang out with the girl but you'd rather not be included with her when you do hang out.


okay, this guy likes me, i mean really really likes me, and i am crazy fro him too, and we have a history. but anyways. he told my friend he really really likes me (we are a big group of friends...lol) and that he doesnt want to give me the impression he doesnt liek me cuz he does. but he's not ready for a relationship right now. but when he's ready he'll ask me out. and i think that i know why he isnt ready, and it's cuz of my freind (now ex-freind) who caused him to break up with me once and and then flirted around with him, just cuz she liked the attention, she didnt care a thing about him, and he ask her out and she laughed in his face and told him no. so, yeah, i think that may be why. but i dont know

so my questions are what does he mean by he's not ready for a relationship and what shoudl i do abotu what my friend did, cuz it realyl makes me mad that she would play with his head like that (even tho it was like a yr ago.)

any one have any ideas?

I RATE!!! (link)
This happened to me recently. The whole thing about how the guy you really like but he doesn't want a relationship is exactly what I went through with my last boyfriend. I liked him for 3 months before we ended up going out and we made it for almost 2 months. Just wait it out. Talk to him all the time. Make sure there are situations that you two can hang out and you can show him that you aren't pressuring him. It works, I swear. My,now, ex-boyfriend Tom waited for 2 months to ask me out because he wasn't ready. I waited and he asked me out. So just show him what a fun, interesting person you are and do not ask him when he's going to ask you out. That will show him that you're impatient.


hi does any1 like no how to get natrual highlights by not acually dying ur hair and stuff...please help me out thx (link)
If your hair is blonde you can use lemon juice. It's not a drastic change and it won't make your hair lighter by considerable amount, but if you're going for subtle change and you have a couple of lemons around the house on a sunny day with nothing to do you can lighten it a little bit. Use 1/2 cup of water for each lemon squeezed. Then use a small paint brush (or a q-tip for smaller highlights) and put it on your hair in stripes. Be prepared to wear sunscreen while sitting outside so as not to get sunburned because it's about an hour of sun time for each shade lighter you want to go. And you may have to re-apply it every two hours depending on your hair type.


I'm 13/f with long blonde hair. I'm getting my hair highlighted (a lighter blonde) in a few days and i was just wondering is it really really bad for your hair? Can highlighting it do permenant damage? I'm not sure if i still want it highlighted if it's gunna ruin my hair. (link)
Highlighting your hair can do both good and bad. It will make your hair much more prone to breakage. But since you're not dying your whole head it won't take as long to grow out if there is damage. If you want to make sure you don't damage it even more after you get it done, use a super moisturizing conditioner and limit your blow-dryer and straightener time. And if you don't mind having your hair dry a little slower but still want to blow dry it, get a hair dryer with a cool air setting. It will take a little longer but it's well worth it.


can you make a guy love you?! and if so..what kinda stuff can you do?! (link)
I'm sorry hun but you can't make anyone love you. You can try your best to make them see what is so special about you and to cherish you the way you cherish them. That's really the only thing that you can do to help a person fall in love with you. There is no way to ensure love. And even if this person falls in love with you it may not be what you envisioned. So make sure you weigh the pros and cons.
