about

Hey I'm Laurell. I've been through a lot so whatever the sitch is i can probably relate and try to help though I know in many situations it seems as though no one but yourself understands completely of what's going on; in some cases there's too much to express or type in words. As the days pass by, time is going by faster, and faster so I wish you the best of luck and wisdom through the rough spots.

Ever since I was a baby, my face has always been chubby, even though the rest of me isn't. Not that Nicole Richie had a fat face before, but I've noticed her face has become a lot slimmer after she lost all of that weight. So i was wondering, how much weight would i need to lose for my face to be noticebly slimmer as well? (I'm 16, 5'6", and 125 lbs)

my face is too and i often wonder this question once i went anorexic for about 2 weeks then i found it was stupid... i would not care about my looks so much and go on with life or ask your parents or someone what would be a healthy diet to go on but i dont think that you'll have to loose much weight (2-6)@ the max. ***hopeihelped***

I've known my best guy friend for 3 years, since 5th grade,and him and i are really "close" and at times can get really touchy, but we've never kiss, or anything like that, he acts like he likes me,and wants to ask me me out but can't,so trys to give me hints and ask's me interesting questions like" are you afraid of a boy kissing you?"or" how many guys have you made out with?" and all of our mutual friends say that one of us should ask the other out and w/e, but then about 2-3 weeks ago he asked me if him and this other girl would make a good couple and if he should ask her out, all i could say was ".. do you like her?"(dumb question i know all i could think of in the moment) and he said yes. and that was that.. and i guess i have to just deal, but as the years go on i like him more and more, and i love him to death*as a brother,nd mabe a lil more* , in the end of it all i really just want him to be happy(i know it sounds cheesy)but when ever he's around me his hands are always somwhere on me, and his tickle me constantly, and i loved that! but now he has a girl friend,somone who i used to be friends with, and i know its not real nice/proper or me or him to continue to act like that, im just really confused about his feelings for me and ever since he went out with her, he's stoped talking to me. and it really hurts..
-Hurt and confused-

im thinking...ASK THE DUDE OUT, if he is willing to ask you those corney questions then he probably wants to you knows whats....before he becomes really close to the other girl you should tell him how you feel maybe even ask him out if you want to . . .***glad2B@yoursevice***

OKay! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND, but sometimes it feels like we aren't as good as we used to be. I dont' know, I mean I dont' want anything to happen to us. It's just, he's been away a lot and stuff and I mean, it feels weird, because it's not like I miss him even that much anymore. I dont' know! It is just different and I really don't like it. Please help me out. How do I relit our flame? And is this normal? I'll rate HIGH and leave FEEDBACK

((13 female)) there's this boy that i met 2 years ago and we never really talked to each other because we don't live in the same town than i went out w/one of his friends and we started talking again..but me and his friend broke up and i fell for him..we went out but we didn't last very long but we still continued to care about each other..finally after we hung out at his house, basketball camp and stuff we started dating agin about 2 months later..once again we broke up..i know that we should just stay friends but it so hard cause we still both like each other (well he says he still likes me)..he says he broke up w/me cause we don't see each other enough but it doesn't matter to me cause i'd talk to him everyday on the computer and phone and every chance we could see each other we'd do that. i called him everyday but he called me like once. we fought all the time over the dumbest things. when the 4th of july came i went to his town for fireworks because my town doesn't have them. he was there and we kinda hung out but not really..he was w/his friends and i was w/mine. but there was one thing that bugged me so bad and it hurt me..his x girlfriend was there and he hung out w/her. i was so devestated..all i wanted to do was sit and watch the fireworks w/my boyfriend. about 2 days later he broke up w/me. i still love him. i know i should forget him..but i've tried to move on. there was someone out there that liked me and treated me soo good but i can't love him. my x boyfriend (ethan) was my first true love..and here i am still caring about him. my friends tell me to give up but they don't understand how i feel about him. i still love him more than anything in this world and no matter how long and hard i search there will never be anyone that i can care for at this age like i care for him. he's my best friend and my first true love. he was the first person i actually liked cuddling with and watching movies with. he was the first person i ever got butterflies when i was in the car on the way to his house. he was the first person i could look into his eyes forever. he was the first person that i could talk to on the phone who i never got tired of. he was the first and only person who can make me laugh without me even wanting to smile. i could have the worst day but when i'd talk to him somehow everything was perfect. please help me. what do i do if i still love him?

i think that you should talk about it with him and tell him how you feel and ask him how he feels *****busy***** advicegal26

Hi, I am 14 years old, and I am dating a 16year old male. He is everything that I look for in a man. Everything is goin great. How can I keep it that way and improve it to make it more interesting?

well,if everything is going great you shouldnt change much but have fun and keep him happy and that you should plan a special day, just 4 them. a romantic date at a resturaunt might show how much she cares about him.
***goodluck***

Ok so I met a girl at a picnic. Shes very shy and so am I. Im 21 shes 19. I saw her again at another picnic the week after and I asked her for her number and got it and we hung out that whole night. I called her Tuesday and like she didn’t ask one question and I opened up somehow and asked a lot. Thing is shes very shy and actually never had a boyfriend before because she focused on family and school. So what do I do to open her up and find if she even likes me. Any advice is helpful.

P.S. What would a good first date be for some one who never had a bf?

A GOOD FIRST DATE would be to bring her to the movies or out to dinner just dont scare her with something like the skateboard park with you friends or something or you could go on a double date find 1 of her friends who has a bf or something . . .***good luck***

All my friends are so much prettier and skinnier than me, and it lowers my self esteem. They are always the ones that get all the guys attention, and I hardly get any. I know it shouldnt matter at all, but it still bothers me. My friends dont treat me badly or anything, but im always worried that they are secretly thinking lower of me. Any suggestions on how to quit becoming so jealous and to stop thinking Im not good enough for my friends?

well this situation is sort of like mine when i was in the 7th grade, its disturbing and it took me a whole year to just not care anymore be mysefl and carryon in life and hangout with the guys more often dont act shy ***goodluck***

Okay well this is a bit of a weird question but ah well.
I can't smile! My normal expression makes me look unhappy, even when I'm not. People always think I'm giving them a dirty look and when I try and smile at them it looks forced and bitchy. I can smile when it comes naturally but if someone asks me to, I can't. It's starting to become a real problem as everyone thinks I'm being unfriendly when I can't help it.
How can I learn to smile?

you dont have to think about smiling, just think of something funny or happy...or practice smiling in the mirror at home or tell your parents or friends what the problem is i'm sure they can help

i do happen to have some of this experiance so let me see here . . .
if you're too afraid to talk to him youself then just have one of your friends call him,talk to him face to face,or go on aim and talk and have them ask if he likes you. or you can just ask him straight up (alone) tell him what you feel i know that its hard...plan C: talk to your parents

Ok i REALLY want to move back to my old house. Theres this house for sale right up the street from were i used to live. My mom said she moved to make everyone happy but me and my brother have told her our lives suck and were really sad. She moved in with her boyfriend to our new house and her boyfriend owns the house. I dont want to live in this house! The catch is she doesnt have the money to move back because if we move out,its not our house to sell,its her boyfriends. But i know shes afraid to say to her boyfriend that she wants to move out,there is litterally NOTHING here for all of us. My mom's boyfriend is NEVER home anyway! How can i get my mom to move back,or at least try and get some really good money sorta fast? Im only 13 and my brother's going to be 15 in august.

here goes plan A: i think that that you your brother mom and her boyfriend should sit down and talk ... before hand your brother and you should put togther some really good reasons why you'd like to move for instance some of the ones that you told me, tell your concerns to your mom and boyfriend see how they react, next tell them that they have a certains amount of time to talk to eachother and think about it... after that time if they say no you can say what the heck and go with the flow or go ahead with plan B(or start with plan B): tell your mom or look in the newspaper or computer and find a good job that suits her and the money that she needs to make
HOPE I HELPED GIVE ME A RATING***
