about

Hey, I'm Brianna. I'm 18 years old. I like giving advice. I won't give you any of that petty advice like "look at the bright side." I mean really, that's wack. I hate when people tell me that. I'm here to try and help you with any of your problems. I'll give you honest advice that hopefully will get you on the path that leads to the right decision. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything. I'm going to give you straight advice. It might not be what you want to hear, but that's advice. Take it or leave it, it's totally up to you. I sign on everyday, usually a few times. So come on, drop questions into my inbox! I try my best to always get back to you within a few hours. Don't be shy, everyone needs a point in the right direction every once in awhile. :D

What are some cool things to say under the "about me" section on myspace for example, name is....., entered this world on......, just some cool things like that.

Hey it's *name*, i'm *age* years young.
This world became a happier place when I arrived on *birthday*

I have dark hair that almost hits my shoulders. I have been wanting extensions for awhile now. I just don't know what kind to get and I'm naive about them. Since it's going to be summer soon, can you wear extensions in the pool/beach? And can you put your hair in a ponytail without people noticing you have extensions? I could really use some tips and basic info on extensions and maybe brands or some of your own experiences with them.

I know this is probably not the answer you are looking for. I've never had hair extensions, but you can always:


*- google information about hair extensions
*- ask your hair stylest the questions that you have.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you out as much as you liked.


Hope I helped (even the slighest bit)

In about 2 weeks im going to get braces. I was thinking about getting the "Wild Smiles" brackets. I really like the way they look but I was wondering if you could still get colors if you had the "Wild Smiles"?

Yes you can still get colors if you have "wild smiles"


Here is a website with information about wild smiles. I'd suggest you check it out for more information.

so there are these boys, both are andy. i liked one of them for about a year and he finally fessed up for feeling the same through a note. i really like him alot but the other andy is an awesome guy and we have so much in commen. i spent the weekend with the second andy, that i haven't liked for a long time, and i saw the real him like the boy outside of church and im starting to like him alot! i went over to his camper over the weekend and heard him say he likes me to and we were playing games outside together just hanging out and being ourselves, it was amazing. now, the second andy, the one i didnt like for a long time, that i spent the weekend with did everything in 2 days that the first andy did in a year. both are AMAZING guys and i have feelings for both i just dont know which one to go for. im really sorry this was confusing becuase they both have the same name, but i have no other idea on how to explain it that you'd understand please help me though i need it!

It seems to me that the second Andy is a better guy. I know that you said both Andy's are amazing but you said that the second Andy did everything in two days that the first Andy did in one year. It seems like he would be the better pick. You said that you have so much in common with the second Andy. I would try and persue a relationship with that Andy. It seems like you two would do so much together and have a very strong relationship.


The first Andy finally fessed up for feeling the same through a note. After a year. To me, thats too long of a wait. I hate waiting for a guy. It gets me all depressed/sad. (haha) Waiting for a guy is like waiting for rain in a drought. Useless and disappointing.


The second Andy hung out with you for a whole weekend, you overheard that he likes you, you guys played games and everything for 2 days and you had a great time. He seems like the guy that you should try and persure a relationship with.


The thing you don't want to do is to lead these guys one, because then instead of having one of them, you might not get the chance to have any of them.


Now you just need to consider which one:
*-makes you happier
*-you can see talking to on the phone all night
*-you can be yourself around
*-makes you laugh
*-you can see yourself with
*-you can see yourself kissing
*-you are more attracted to
*-you miss more when you're not together
*-you can have full on conversations with
*-you think about more
*-etc;etc

They both may be amazing, but maybe one is amazing in a best friend kind of way and another one is amazing in a boyfriend kind of way. In the end it's totally up to you and I can't make the decision for you.

My girlfriend and i are 13 and we talk about me looking at her boobs and her friend said if she lets u look at them she might let u feel them how should i make the move on her

You both are a little too young for that.
But when you guys are kissing just slowly move your hands to her boobs. If she wants you to feel her then she will. If she moves away then don't. She isn't ready. If she moves away don't push her. When she's ready you'll know. Only do this when alone with her. Don't do it infront of people.

How do I tell my mom that I am a furry?

What you need to do is tell your mom that you need to talk to her. You have something serious to tell her. Practice infront of a mirror first. Then you two need to go somewhere where you won't be distracted by anything. Sit down and calmly tell her.


There is no other way to tell her then to be blunt about it. But calmly. Good luck.

A long time ago..like 2-4 years ago, maybe longer, I saw this little commercial thing on Disney channel. It wasn't exactly a commercial, just like one of those things where the kids talk. It was this girl who had red hair and she collected elephants. And she was telling about where she got each one and everything. Ever since then, I've looked everywhere online and I can't find it. Can someone help me?

I know what you're talking about. It's the little series "Show Your Stuff" that Disney played on The Disney Channel. You might be able to find it on www.disneychannel.com I vaguely remember them saying if you ever wanted to "show your stuff" you could send your video in on the website. Maybe they have the video on their website somewhere.

If not, I agree with the answer below me with the whole copyright ordeal that Disney has.

well im 15 and love everythign about make up and was wondering if there was a school that just teaches you about make up and maybe hair too, but not a school everyday, like something to do AFTER real school. is there a such thing? and i live in massachusetts

You seem like you want to look into a beauty school. I'm not sure if there is anything for after school to do hair and makeup. You would have to ask your school counselor if there are any programs. I know there are beauty schools that you can go to after you graduate from high school though.

http://www.bostonapartments.com/schools-cosmetology.htm

I'm not sure how accurate that website is, so you might have to look up the places in your phonebook. But that website has a list of different beauty schools in Massachusetts. Just look up one near where you live.

I absoloutly LOVE music more than anything! Piano is my favorite hobbie, but I seem to have got caught up with other things and I worry way too much and music is what I depend on...but everyday I listen to it. but I want to PLAY it. Is there anyway I can focus on ONLY my music?

Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. If you start focusing ONLY on music, you might start to resent it. I wouldn't focus ONLY on your music but a great deal of your time should focus on it since you love it so much.


I would set aside a few hours everyday just playing your music. Play the piano about 2 hours a day or so. Take the focus off of all the other hobbies that you caught up on. Set them aside. When you go to do one of your other hobbies go play the piano instead. Make piano the first option instead of the second. Don't let go of all your other hobbies just yet but don't focus on them as much. Piano is your favorite. Keep it that way. :)

Your dress is so pretty!


Here are some updos that I think are cute

I have US Cellular, And i have a video that i want on my computer but it said it was too long to send (thats the only way i know how to get it on here is to send it to my email) So how do i get this video from my phone to my computer without sending it??

The only other way I know is if your phone came with an USB cord you can plug the USB cord into your phone and the other end into your computer and it should send.

I cant think of this song for anything.
Its a girl with brown hair singing it
and in the music video, she sees a guy she likes and as she is walking out the door he is walking in the door and they hold hands as they are walking through the door. & at the end she is in a play and he comes up and kisses her i think and they run out of the auditorium.

Heeelp please lol

Do you know anything else about the song? A few lyrics by any chance? If you know of any lyrics, even if it's just a sentence or two I can try and help you. It could be any song really with the description that you gave. Just inbox me if you have anymore information about your question. :)

Ok so i already posted this once but i didnt get as much feedback as i wanted. Please read this and tell me what you think. I had to write it for english it is loves/loses. Thanks in advance!


I love you now,
I lost you yet,
I will always be here.
Don’t you fret

I know it hurts
But life goes on
I will try not to listen
To those sappy love songs,

Cause when I do,
I think of you
And what we used to be,
I just wish you would see

I gave you everything,
Yet you pushed me away,
I promise I will miss you,
Every single day

Me and you,
We can find a way,
And maybe…just maybe
We can be together someday.

This is an amazing poem. You really captured how love/losses mean to some people. It's a beautiful poem. I hope you got a good grade on it because you deserve it. You're a talented writer.

17/f. I recently started having sex with my boyfriend with condoms, and we decided I should go on birth control. I got it from my local Planned Parenthood and realized it was making me moody and crazy. This could have just been my body getting used to it, but I decided to stop taking it after a week and a half. I still have two packs left that I could use if I want, but I'm afraid of getting moody again.

Should I continue to just use condoms? Is it safe enough, or should I take the pills just incase, even though they might change my personality a little bit?

You should still use the birth control. The moodiness can wear off within a few days/weeks. If not, take it back and try a different kind that will suit you more. I had to get a different type of birth control because I didn't like the side effects I was getting with the first kind.

Yes, condoms can be safe when used correctly, but they can tear. Birth control is more effective.

so my best friend and brother just started dating. i hate that so much! i cant be a bad friend to her though and say how i really feel about them. i just dont want to lose her because everytime we are together she is texting him and they are in the same house and she wants to go to his room to be with him when we are supposed to be having "best friend time" however everytime they are together she never texts me or even splits her time between us. she promised me he would never ever take her away from me but i feel like he already is..what should i do?

You would not be a bad friend by telling her how you are feeling with the fact that she is dating your brother. If she really is your best friend she would listen to what you have to say. You are allowed to tell your best friend how you are feeling. Thats what they are there for. They are there for you to confide in, to tell them how you feel, if you are happy, sad, or mad. You should tell her that it upsets you when she comes over to hang out and then goes and hangs out with your brother and that she texts him 24/7 when you two are supposed to be hanging out.

Don't be afraid to tell her how you are feeling. She should understand if you are her best friend. If this was the other way around, if you were dating her brother and you ignored her when you two were hanging out, how would that make her feel? You should ask her that.

I know I wouldn't be happy if my best friend was dating my brother. I would despise it to be honest. You are a great friend for letting her be with your brother even though it kills you on the inside because you feel like you are losing your best friend.

Talk to your best friend. Tell her how you feel. You'll feel better in the end. Good luck!

so i like this boy alot at my church, so far, i have been making all the effort to get us together. i know once we get together he would make an amazing boyfriend so im not giving up on him. i wrote him a note for his birthday and put it in a birthday bag with other things as well and he wrote me a note back saying his exact feelings for me and i couldnt help but smile. he gives me butterflies everytime i see him :) he also called me once which was a big leap for him and i couldnt even talk thats how shocked i was, that however, is the only conversation we had, through notes and phone. i guess my question is, should i sit back and let him come to me now becuase i did everything else?

That's so cute! You should still try and persue your relationship with him. Don't give up yet because if you stop trying, he might think you don't want anything else to happen. Sometimes guys like the girls making the first move. Call him and ask him to hang out. I'm sure he will say yes considering he wrote you a note back saying his exact feelings for you and it made you smile. :) If he can't hang out just ask him to let you know when he would be able to hang out because you'd like to. I hope everything works out for you! Good luck!

I go to an all-girl school, so, naturally, this makes it a tad harder to meet guys. This still doesn't make it normal that I know no guys because every girl I know talks about guys, guys, and more guys.
Anyway, I have issues with friends. We don't hang out on the weekends because they don't invite me and I feel unwanted. So, people often offer the advice "Meet a guy through your girl friends!" It doesn't apply here because I really don't have real girl friends.
The thing is, I feel so damn empty and I really can't stand it. I don't know where to meet a guy. I don't even know how to make friends. And to top this all off, I am really overweight. I mean really, I could lose 100 lbs and be normal weight, or slightly underweight.
I know that a guy will not make me feel less empty and another person cannot solve my problems, but I feel like I don't know what to do and even if I found solutions, I wouldn't know how to pursue them.
My main question is: Where can I meet guys?
And how can I not repel them?

You can meet guys just about anywhere. At the mall, around your neighborhood, etc. Just go up and start a conversation with them. If you have any cousins you can hang out with them and their group of girl/guy friends on the weekends. You just have to have faith. They are out there.

Just be yourself! Thats all you need to be. Don't be someone your not. Dress cute but in your own style. Give them eye-contact when you talk to them, smile, make them laugh. But most of all be yourself. Thats all you can really do! Good luck!

If you need any more advice on this subject or anything else, inbox me! :)
