Hey my names Chrissabelle and I love giving advice. I always have. Most of my friends call me Chrissie but really like to be called anything. Well... :p I really would like to be a psycologist when I get older. I love listening to other people, I've always been a good listener and I love to help people to the best of my abilities. I love being with family, hanging out with friends, ice skating, and tennis. I also love to laugh and have fun. Who doesn't? Honestly I just am a really happy person although I can come off really serious to people who don't know me which really sucks. I haven't been answering advice for a few weeks because of numerous reasons but now I'm back and so glad to be able to help everyone again. I really hope I can guys =) That's about it so ask me anything, anytime you need advice and I'll try to help you as best I can!

hey im 15/f andi have sadie hawkins dance this weekend.I was just wondering what i should wear and makeup and such
i usually wear my hair in a ponytail and i dont put it down so i guess i should straighten itand put it down??
what would make me look cute and stand out? makeup wise and clothing wise?
thankss (link)
|
Hey. Well I'm not sure if it's a formal dance or not but if it is than as you know a cute dress. Any color would work. If it's just a normal, nice dance then try wearing a long shirt with a big belt and dark jeans with boots or even sneakers. Or, you could wear a skirt with leggings and uggs with a nice top. The big beaded necklaces or bracelets always look good and also the big colorful headbands. For your hair I think wearing it down and straigtening it would be a great idea, but remember it takes a while. Like 40 minutes :/, sorry if you knew that akready =). But yeah I think wearing it down and straigtened with a big headband would look good or in a half up half down kind of look. As for makeup anything really would work such as black eye liner and maybe some lip gloss or something like that. And maybe some minor blush if you want. That's pretty much it. I really hope this helped and have fun! =)

How can I prevent getting a tan? This year is my grad and I don't want a tan because when I wear my dress it's gonna be like a halter and then like parts of my body will be dark and just horrible! (picture a pretty looking girl only that half her leg, her arms, and face is brown with a tan!) (link)
|
Hey. Well if you did get really tan I think it would still look great no matter what. But I understand what you mean so I would just wear a lot of sun tan lotion. Try to stay in the shade when you go out and wear like a t-shirt or something. That's pretty much all you can do. OR you can use tan spray to make the rest of your body look tan. I really hope this helped! =)

I'm in a desperate need of spending money but I can't decide what to spend it on!
I have THEE worst hair ever! and want to spend it on hair prodcuts or a hair PRODUCT if it give you many things in one.
But I want to shop at a brand store because my clothes are ok I guess but I've been wearing them for three years (I haven't grown and there was no money to buy new clothes) and it would be a great upgrade.
But I want to buy some body prodcuts to help me look more naterally beautiful.
I guess hair would stand out more so it'd be great. My clothes are ok so I don't even know why I want to spend my money on clothes ($25) but I just want to buy a sweater but I dunno why. But I want to buy all of these body butter and stuff.. And I can't buy one hair product, body product, and sweater cuz it will definitely add up over $25.
What should I spend it on and give me a good reason! (link)
|
Hey. Well if you feel like your clothes are o.k. then maybe you really don't need new ones yet. Although, it might make you feel nice to be wearing something new. I know I always love when I get a new shirt or sweater or something. The body products aren't really necessary because you probably look fine as it is and it may be the least noticeable. I would go with the sweater or your hair because that will make you feel really good in my opinion. The hair stuff might be nice too but I bet your hair is fine now as it is and you could always do that later. It's really up to you but I would get the sweater. I really hope this helped even if only a little =)

i'm going to see john mayer tonight in lexington, ky, and i was wondering if they let you bring a camera into the venue- he's playing at rupp arena. i reaalllyyyy want to get pictures and was wondering if taking my camera was a good idea or not. or if anyone's whose possibly been to a show on this tour could help me :] (link)
|
Hey. A lot of places don't let you but you could bring one in if you like I'm sure. Just put it in a bag or something and have fun. If they tell you to put it away just go back to your car and put it away or if you're being dropped off just don't use it any more. I don't think they would confiscate it. I really hope this helped and have fun! =)

i am way way way to jealous i dont trust my boyfriend at all and yes we have had some issues in the past but i need to get over them and just start to trust him .. if i even see a new girl on his myspace i question him and then if he leaves her a comment or a picture comment i get mad like how come he will leave her one but not me and i check his phone his email and i did check his myspace then he finally got sick of it and changed the password and wont give it to me which makes me furious that he would keep something from me because obviously he must be hiding something if he wants privacy .. please help me i dont know how to calm my jealousy (link)
|
Hey. Well first of all I'm glad you realized that your jealousy is getting the best of you. All humans get it but you can't let it take over. You have to learn to cope with it and control it. Your boyfriend doesn't have anything to hide but he's probably just so sick of it and upset that you always go on his myspace. Think about if he was on yours all the time asking you everytime about why this guy said this or why you commented this guys picture and not his. You'd start to feel like he doesn't trust you and you'd feel bad right? This is probably how he feels. Really bad that you can't trust him and he's sick of it so he changed the password. I understand you're jealous but it's o.k. to have friends that are girls or for you to have friends that are guys. It's not the same way he feels about you and all the other girls know it =). They may be jealous that you're the one who actually gets to go out with him. Just try to cope with your jealousy and he will be more likely to feel as if you trust him which is what a relationship is based on. If you can't trust him than it won't work. Just try to be understanding of how he feels and realize that the love he feels for you is totally different than how he feels for his friends. I really hope this helped and good luck with the jealousy monster! =) (I know, that was really corney... lol).

I have A's in English, History, and Art. My problem is in Pre-Calculus and Physics. I'm in 10th grade.
I feel really RETARDED when it comes to doing work in those classes.
I'm taking all Honors too, and I would drop out and take easier classes but unfortunately it's too late for that now.
I have gotten F's and D's on all my Pre-Cal tests, and we've only had one test in Physics and on that I got a 28%!! I couldn't believe myself and I had stayed awake ALL NIGHT studying. I don't know if cramming is the problem but sometimes cramming is the only solution as I'm busy with the other classes. I don't know...
Basically:
- I don't understand what the frick any of my teachers are talking about in Physics & Pre-Cal, it's gotten to the point where I've given up trying to figure it out and pay attention.
-I've been tutored a LOT - but still no help.
-Every math type of problem I do, I get stuck on it and need someone to guide me through. I think my main problem is self-learning and becoming an independent thinker
-Because I'm often busy I only get to study for tests a night or do before them.
-Teachers love to give pop quizzes, and since I always end up studying night before the test, I fail these too!
I need help and to prove to myself that I'm not stupid.....and that I just need to work harder. I tell myself this but HOW MUCH HARDER CAN I WORK?
Something must be wrong. I even talked to the teachers and they're just like, "Oh just practice more," - that's all I friggen do!
My report looks like this (although, it's 3/4 towards the end, midterm grades can bring you up one grade point)
English: A
Art: A
History: A
Pre-Cal: D
Physics: C
I'm just pissed and need some genuine advice and tips to help me get A's on math & science tests so I can bring up my grades.
Thanks so much guys!!
Love,
the effing retarded one =/ (link)

Hey. Well first of all I'd like to say that you're NOT retarded. Math and science (or algebra and biology as I take now, since I'm a freshman) are the subjects I have to work hardest at. Just recently I've found that you're either good at math and science or history and english and you just proved my point. No matter who I meet it's either they're really good at math and science and hate english and history or the opposite like us. It's very rare to find someone who's good at all of them. I guess the brain just works out this way. So what I would do for pre-cal and physics is to just try and go over it whenever you have free time. If you're thinking of watching t.v. just think, hey I've really got to work on these two subjects. Also, (I'm not saying this to offend you, we all go through it =)) maybe you're not studying the way that would help you most. Are you just quickly skimming over the stuff for hours hoping it sticks in and then getting frustrated or do you seriously look over the stuff for hours until you really understand it. Sometimes this is what you have to do. Unfortunately :/. Also, I would try to ask your teachers if they could help you out after school. I know in my school teachers stay after on certain days to help kids who don't get the stuff. They'll be really glad you're willing to work at it and a lot of times they become more leanant towards you when they see you're willing to work hard. It will be hard and boring at first but I'm sure you'll get it soon. And you're NOT retarded if you're in all honors classes. You had to have gotten there somehow =). Oh and wish me luck for next year! Lol. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

i miss wensdays eposiode. did anyone watch it? and will there be any repeats? (link)
|
Hey. I didn't get to watch that episode but I went to http://www.tvguide.com/detail/tv-show.aspx?tvobjectid=100339&more=ucepisodelist&episodeid=6369448 which says it was called Prom Night at Hater High and it says in the hours leading up to the senior prom, Nathan faces the consequences of everyone seeing his old sex tape. Meanwhile, Rachel learns what her punishment will be for stealing the calculus test. I'm pretty sure it will be on again because there's always a lot of repeats. I really hope this helped! =)

13/f.i just turned 13 this month.i go to a death trap of a school.i used to be really quiet till i was like 12.now im the freaky kind of person that scares people and i like freaky stuff like disecting brains and hearts in science classes. and i give people nightmares a lot. i do like that kind of stuff but im not a freak.and now aduldts are sayin im gothic to my parents.ok im not tryin to be.yes most of my clothes are black yes my jewelery is mainly chokers and big rings yes i love rock and metal and screamo and yes most of the people who dont hate me are goths emo or freaks but my best 2 friends are a preppy pink girl and a guy who is prep to. my parents took it all away all my stuff like that and wont let me see my goth emo and freak friends everything gone. but if i would tell my mom that thats just how i am shed freak out and get a therapist and hate me forever. I HATE MY LIFE im not gettin help like phsyciatrists or watever. i cant tell my mom im goth which i dont really think i am but if id write out my life ya i guess i am.my bff said its because i was a goody goody bitch all my life. he doesnt say it in a mean way but ya.even he says it!what do i tell my mom and i cant just sit down and talk to her...we dont get along since ive changed. what do i do she hates me now and took away everything. (link)

Hey. It sounds a lot like your parents are shocked because of how much you've changed. This happens to a lot of people so don't feel bad. If this is the real you than you can't change yourself. Just try to be you and dress how you like no matter what clothing you wear (it could be a rainbow jumpsuit if you really wanted to) but clothing doesn't make a person. It's what's inside that counts. Your mom just probably misses the relationship you used to have and she feels bad that other parents are talking about you this way. If you just be cordial and don't rebel I'm sure she'll let you hang out with whatever friends are nice and who you like. She's just looking out for your best interests and she cares about you. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

So I totally missed Spongebob today, and I forgot to record it. What happened?
If you can't tell me what happened, could you at least give me a website? I tried google.com, but my internet isn't working right now, so I can't search for it.
Thanks so much, girlie!

Why did you rate me a 2? That really does help, nick.com. There was no reason for that. I didn't see what the others wrote by the way and I was just trying to help. Try nick.com they usually have the episodes. I really hope this helped! =)

Hey. It sounds as if this girl is extremely immature and I can see why you're so annoyed. OR she may have a small mental dissability and so it's not completely her fault. The teachers may know this and they think you're being mean to her, which I know you're not. You have to talk to your teacher and tell her that you and your friends are just joking around with eachother and that you do this all the time. Tell the teacher you really weren't trying to be mean to her, you were trying to treat her like one of you guys since you always do these things to eachother. Then say that you're not trying to get her in trouble or anything but it really bothers you that you guys are getting in trouble over jokes. If you feel more secure you can go with your friends. OR you can just try to ignore this girl (not in a mean way of course) but just be cordial but stay away and she may find someone else. This girl may just feel incredibly lonely and she needs some friends but since she may not have any she found you guys. It may a really hard situation for her too because she just feels so lonely and left out but I understand how you feel. I would try talking with your teacher. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

ok well this is the story of my recent realationship.
well earlier this year in january, my friends got me together with a friend of theirs, max, (they go a different school to me} and they gave him my email, and we started taking heaps over the net.. then on my birthday, 24th of january, me and my friends went to the movies and we invited him, and i met him for the first time.
we had a great time and he told me he would like to be in a realiationship with me, he told me i was perfect and beautiful and i was just so happy :) so then we met up again the following week and we went to the movies again and he officialy asked me out and of course i said yes.
so we were dating and we were both so happy i was so inlove , he would message me all the time.. wwe went to different schools so he would call me everynight. and then i got into his school the following week so i was going to be starting at his school in a week. we were both so excited, and i knew heaps of people there so i wasnt nervous.
so now i go to his school, we would sit with eachother at lunch and recces and sit with eachother in classes. i was so inlove with him and still am .. we were like the happiest couple going around.. then we went out last saturday together and it was basically the best day of my life , i just felt so happy he made me feel so loved. then the next day [sunday] we got into a fight basically over nothing and he was really angry at me and then i tried to sort things out but it was really hard becuase he didnt come to school on monday or tuesday and we didnt speak for 2 days [thats the longest amount of time that we hadnt spoken to eachother] so i sent him an sms on tuesday afternoon telling him that i wanted to sort things out and that i loved him and i asked if he was ok because he hadnt been at school. he then wrote back that he was not well and that he wanted to sort things out aswell, then i told him to call me that night so we could sort it out and his reply was that he had lost his voice and couoldnt talk. so i was left no choice but to sort it out through sms because it was killing me and i just wanted to fix things.
so we just started talking about things and how out realtionship was changing then he told me that he didnt love me anymore and that he was sorry. those words hit me like a ton of bricks and i am heart broken. i didnt understand how he had just fallen out of love with me when the 2 days earlier we were the happiest people walking around.. i am so confused.. he didnt come to school all last week..
and i talked to himn last night for the first time since the break up [a week] and he said he was really sorry and that he is really confused at the moment.. he also said he wasnt over me yet.
i really dont know what to do.. i know that there is still hope for our small little twisted realtionship and everyday i still think to myself.. he will want me back i know he will.. but nothing so far.. i havtn seen him since we were a happy couple so im hoping that when i see him at school next week that he will realise he did the wrong thing..
but could someone help me out i dunno wehter i should just try and move on or try and get him back..
im thinking about him all the time and no matter where i am or what i'm doing or who im talking to; he's the one thats on my mind.
i went out with this guy for a month.. and it was the best month of my life.
i dunno what kind of advice i need but i just need something .. some sort of direction..
thankyou for reading this it means alot to me. (link)

Hey. I know this is probably really hard right now but I want you to know that almost everyone goes through this at some time in their life and no matter what happens it always works out for the better. This guy (no matter how romantic he acted with you) sounds like he may be like this with a lot of relationships. He may just be very dramatic and then he's afraid of commitement even if he likes you more than anything. So by him missing school for a few days it's his way of not causing conflict or by being embarressed to see you again. This could be one scenario and if so I would try asking him about if this is the case and tell him that you'd really want to work it out. Another situation may be that something happened to him that is really depressing him and he can't think of a relationship or anything right now because he's so sad. That's why he's missing school right now and maybe he doesn't want to talk to anyone at the moment. From what I've heard though, it sounds as if he may be afraid of commitement and this is his way of showing you. I would give him some time to realize how much he misses your relationship. Time heals all wounds and you may not think so now but you will feel better and stop thinking about him as much after you give it a break. If you give it some time and just be cordial to him he may realize how much he misses you. These are a few of the options you can take. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

OK when i wake up i have really bad bags under my eyes. Anything i can do thats easy and doesnt take awhile to get them to go away in the mornings? PS i dont wear fondation so dont suggets it. (link)

Hey. Well first of all lots of sleep helps and eventually they start to fade away. Try to get 7-9 hours of sleep a night and see if that works after a couple of weeks. Sorry if you already knew that part lol. Try taking a wash cloth and putting it in cold water. Squeeze out the water and play it over your eyes before you go to sleep. It's supposed to help. Apply cool tea bags, an ice cube wrapped in cloth or even cucumbers to your eyes! You don't have to do it while sleeping either but just lye down when you do it and close your eyes (obviously :D). Also, you can wet a q-tip and use it for a little while by gently rubbing it under your eyes. Try not to flinch. I really hope this helped and good luck! =) by the way I got some of these tips off of http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Black-Circles-Under-Your-Eyes

Okay, so is it a little to old for a 15 year old to go out with a 21 year old? Im 15 and the guy I kinda like is 21. He doesnt smoke doesnt drink just works. He is mexican [which doesnt matter] and he is a sweetheart. He asked my mom for approvel and asked to take me out on a date. He said he will call me this weekend. I dont think he will, Im a little scared. I have told some of my friends and they said, ''You know guys like that just want some booty''. But it doesn't seem like he is that way. I dont know what to do, give it a chance or forget it?
-Confused. (link)
|
Hey. If he is really sweet and all than maybe you can give it a try. But that is a really big age difference and I know it's good on your end but it's a little immature on his. No offense to him or anything but that is a really big age difference and a lot of guys do just go out with younger girls to take advantage of them. A LOT. Please don't take this the wrong way because he could be the most amazing guy and it could be true love so don't care about what others think. But please just be careful and responsible because for the 21 year old (no matter how overly mature you are) he is pretty old to date a 15 year old. Just be careful if you do give it a try! =)

i cant get un sad after my bf dumped me do you know how to get me back so i love my life again even though i still hate it because people make fun of my acne and im in school now i get a free day but i need help bad ive been so sad ive been crying everynight because my life and my ex bf my life i hate it (link)
|
Hey. I know you probably feel like you're the only one going through this sadness right now. Right? But the truth is that thousands, maybe more girls around this age (I'm sort of just guessing how old you are if you're still in school) go through the exact same problems. Then like ten years later they look back on their lives and laugh that they were so upset over a guy dumping them or having some pimples. There are much worse things in life as you know such as loosing a leg or someone you love (sorry to be so morbid) but think of it that way. You may be sad now because everythings not going to great but pretty soon it will blow over. Everyone goes through this A LOT in their lives but you just have to learn to laugh about it and be yourself. It doesn't matter if you have acne because it's what's inside that counts. Those people should be ashamed of themselves of making fun of you and I'm not just saying this to be corney but people like that have really low self esteem. When you make yourself feel better by making fun of others you really feel bad about yourself. You wouldn't have to make fun of others if you were happy with who you are which is probably the way you are too. You just have to think of things this way and get through the tough times in life. I really hope this helped and please don't be sad anymore! =)

I dont want to go to this concert with my friends tonight.
Well, I kind of do, but I don't know if my dad will let me.
What are some excuses to tell my friends (NOT my dad won't let me--I use that too much)
OR
what are some ways to persuade my dad to let me go?
I already told my friend I'd ask.... (link)
|
Well you can show your dad how safe it will be and explain all the details so he'll be able to trust you. You can tell him what time you'll be back, who's going etc. This way he'll be more likely to say yes. If you Really don't want to ask you can tell your friends you have already promised to do something with your, dad, sister, brother, other friend, cousin (whoever). You can tell them that you have to go somewhere (if they don't live close enough to you to know you're lying) but I really don't know if lying is the option. I would just try to talk to your dad or just tell your friends you can't go. Don't even explain why. If they ask just say you have to do stuff. I would deffinitely ask your dad though because hey, the worst he could say is no. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

15 female i have liked this one dude and nobody else for 3 years. he asked me out when i have only liked him for two years. now i want him to ask me out but i do not know if he still lkes me. how do i know if he still does. he looks at me like always but i think that he alreadyhas a girlfriend.Help! if you can
(link)
|
Hey. Well don't feel down on yourself for not saying yes in the first place. He probably does still have feelings for you if he asked you out but he sort of gave up when you said no so that's why he may be going out with someone else. I would try to find out if he is and even so, just show him little signs that you like him. Make jokes with him or sort of flirt and stuff to see how he feels about you. I mean I'm not saying to like cheat with him but it will help you get a better understanding. One day if you really get into a good conversation explain how you feel. Tell him you really like him and when he first asked you, you were kind of shocked and stuff but you truly do like him. I bet he'll really appreciate this even though it may seem embarressing. In the long run I bet it will work out. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

Ok, so there is this guy who I can't manage to get out of my head. He is the sweetest guy i've ever known and i've fallen so hard for him. And when he's not around I can't help but feel sad. I don't want to feel this way because he's someone that I would never get a chance to be with, and I understand that... because well, he's my teacher and I know how that's wrong and whatever, But I can't help how I feel at this point... People say they think he likes me because he's the playful type, I guess, and he touches me and stuff like that... Nothing too serious though... Anyway, I try so hard to find something wrong with him or to ignore him so that I could get over him, but he always comes around and says something sweet or funny... The point is, I'm about to graduate in a month and knowing that i'll probably never see him again is killing me... I havn't felt like myself because of this whole thing and it's bothering me... I guesss I just want to know how I can get over him or any other advice anyone might have on this whole thing...
thanks so much... 19/f (link)
|
Hey. Well maybe at the end of the year you can get like an autograph book and ask him to sign it. See what he writes in it. If it's completely obvious that he likes you by what he writes than at least you'll know for good. I mean from what you said it seems like you already know he likes you. As for you getting over him, this is never easy. Maybe once you're away from the school you can always come back and visit and it might be less awkward to tell him how you feel or at least give some hints. If you feel that that's completely wierd than you're going to have to keep yourself busy. Just don't think about him. It's honestly like a bad habbit such as anything that you can't stop so you have to push yourself. It might get stressful since you see him every day but you just have to concentrate on other things. Eventually, you may not think so now, but eventually your feelings for him won't be as strong. I'm not sure about the age difference between you guys but if it's not so big, why not tell him how you feel when you leave the school? I know, it's harder than it sounds but it could be true love. Whatever direction you take I'm sure it will work out. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)
