First of all, I feel your pain. :P

Wear minimizer bras, and shirts that make your breats look smaller. V-Neck shirt will do this. Stay away from crew-neck tops. Maybe wear slightly baggy T-shirts. Or sweatshirts. Lots and lots of sweatshirts. Keep your shirts a solid color, and wear skirts and pants that are bright and/or printed. That way, when people look at you, the eye will not be drawn to your chest so much. Don't wear anything too low-cut, that will only make it worse. Jackets and blazers will also help.

If guys stare, just say something about it. Such as "yes they are big, you may now go about your life," or "would you mid talking to my face and not to my chest?" They'll get the hint. If they don't, just sock em in the face. :P

As for reduction surgery, it is usually reccomended not to get this until after you are done having kids, as there is the risk of having problems with breast-feeding.

Make sure you stand up straight and carry your backpack with both straps tightened as much as is comfortable to avoid back problems.

Get MSN Messenger. AOL just sucks.

Just so you know-- muscle weighs more than fat does. In otehr words, if you are looking to get buff AND lose weight-- its not going to happen.

As for eating in moderation- it's a very hard thing to do. Try only eating at mealtimes; don't ever snack. When you do eat, make sure your meals are healthy and well-rounded. Don't skip meals.

Maybe try something like a reward system-- if you go a week without snacking (ie, only eating at meals) treat yourself to a movie or buy something small. If you do snack, exersize double that day. Basically, you just need to have a lot of self control.

Art is a very difficult major. If you want to be an art major, you should work on your portfolio.

I don't think that you should base your major on how much money you will make in the future. Perhaps you could double major in art and something like advertising, so you would have the art major and a means of support.

If you don't want to do nursing, then don't. There comes a point in everybody's life where you have to gently break it to your parents that you are living your own life. However, if you wanted to pursue both nursing and art, I would recommend that you look into Steinhardt School of Education and Communication, which is one of the colleges in NYU.

Godd luck with applications.

Having gone through depression, I can sympathize with you at how hard it is to open up to anybody. I can also tell you that once you tell your parents, you will feel a million time better. It's as if a weight has been lifted. It may be easier for you to tell your dad, as he is going through the same thing.

If there is a counseler at school, go to him. Or her. He may be able to help you.

Whatever you do, don't go through this alone. That will only increase your feelings of depressed.

If you ever want to talk, feel free to contact me.

You may want to look in to something called Seasonal Affective Disorder. Basically, because there is less sun during the winter months, people tend to get depressed. Being in the sun for about an hour a day should help you.

First of all, its great that you don't give a crap about all this "popularity" bullshit.

Ignore his 'friends.' You want to date him, not them. If he is ever alone, just go up to him and start talking. If you can't so that, try something along the lines of "may I borrow a pen." (Just make sure you aren't holding one when you ask.)

Try blowing it straight, and then using the straightener to touch up.

You probably don't want to hear this, but heat treatment is very bad for your hair. And wavy hair is pretty. If you straighten your hair every dau, you should use a deep conditioner at least once a week if not more often to keep your hair from dying. You should also get your hair trimmed every month.

Tell them all to grow up and get a life.

Next time he does something like that, take his hands, put them where they belong and say, "Cut that out. I don't it."

Try jogging or doing some other form of exersice. Exersice releases endorphins which will make you happier. Make sure you do this on a regular schedule. Also, spending time outside will ensure that you get sun. Lack of sun has been linking to Seasonal Affective Disorder, which basically means that during the winter months you get more depressed.

If you are finding it hard to sleep, take Benadryl at night, it will make your drowsy enough to go to sleep, and there aren't any adverse side effects.

Find someone you can talk to about your problems with your family. Maybe write in a diary or a blog. Either way, find some way to vent. You shouldn't keep everything inside.

Of course not. Its a stupid chain letter.

Oldre people are more mentally mature, and understand the consequences of their actions more. It sucks, but that's the reality. (I'm 18, and I have felt this way for a few years.)

Ask him out.

You are watering them too much. Cacti only need to be watered abotu once every three weeks. In their natural habitat (the desert) there is alomost no rainfall, so cacti are "built" for storing water for long periods of time.

Or they might just be dying.

You can take them in to a local Botanic Garden or something, they usually have people there to answer questions like these.

I've worn flip-flops, but they can get annoying. Just go for any sort of comfortable shoe that'll stay on your foot. A nice pair of sport shoes could work.

Aks her out. Or stop whining.

When people of the Christian sort say things to me about my religion I find that responding with "dude, your religion came from mine," usually shuts them up pretty quickly.

Just search google for foreign exchange student.

If your aren't ready to do sexual stuff, then why do you want to get him aroused?
