I strongly suggest Pro-Active. Only because it costs alot of money, which therefore makes people use it more often. It's not too much of a pain, and you're guranteed to see a much clearer face in 2-6 weeks.

I'm a writer. Damnit. So if you ever actually NEED any writing advice, ask me. Damn people. I'm dead serious. No one is smart anymore. All they ask about is guy problems and how sucky their life is. It's sad a website with such potential has reduced itself to this. Tell me if you want to do anything about it. :D

GET A BLEACHING KIT. Whatever you do DO NOT SHAVE YOUR ARMS. I repeat DO NOT SHAVE YOUR ARMS. By doing this you will get stuble on them, and that feels and looks REALLy weird. And besides. Hairless arms are weird.

Because everyone is a loser on this site, and doesn't think enough to actually BE a writer. Email me. We should protest.

No it's not. Relationships are like that. And in order to grow, and make them better, you have to slosh through the mud. As far as I see it, you didn't want him to be away from you because you wanted to know that he still cared about you, and he'd go after you. You wanted to make sure that even though you're throwing this huge tantrum (which was probably derserved) he would be there for you, he'd apologize. And you both would move on. You didn't want him to run away because you were mad. You wanted him to be with you (I know this is repetitive, but it's making sense in my head (and hopefully yours) so just go with it) When you're mad and sad and angry you want someone to hold you, stroke your hair and tell you "this to shall pass." It's an instinct. Don't worry. It's perfectly natural.

I'm going to attempt this, even though I'm the most disorgainzed person I've ever met. Since I was a freshman last year, I'm going to say what I did that you can avoid.

Things to Avoid:

* Avoid sticking papers in your books
* Avoid keeping a folder for everything (unless you are orgainzed enough to do that) If you aren't, just have one folder to keep all your homework and assignments in it.
* Avoid putting off big assignments (essays, projects...ect)until the last minute..even if you do work better under pressure.
* Avoid borrowing books from others.
* Figure out how much time it takes you to get to your locker...to whichever class you need to get to. This will help you in the future.
Good luck

They are about one size off for me. I wear typically a five, but I have a pair of dickies in sevens. I never really thought about it though. They are a bit big though...so I'm not sure. Maybe it's how you're cut. Because it really depends on your body shape, and how well it fits to the style. Some pants I wear really small sizes to , and then others like Levi's for instance, I have to suck in to wear the even bigger size. It does depend on the brand, and how certain parts of your body are shaped i.e thighs, height, waist, hips....It just all depends.

Why do you have to come out and say---"Hey I like you..." That is bound to be weird unless you stick in into a funny situation. How old are you? If he's mature, a really good way, is just to ask him to do something. Like..."hey I heard there's this really cool movie out (make sure to put it in less cheesy terms) wanna check it out with me friday?" Make sure it sorta flows with the conversation, unless you are older, guys sorta get creeped out when a girl tells them she "likes" them. So just take it slow. Do stuff with him outside of school. If you have anymore questions, either drop one in my inbox, or email me. :D -

I know this may sound weird...but if you actually spent time with your mother...instead of TRYING to make time for her, you might actually enjoy it. You can do that whole "I don't want to "hang out" with my mother, and have a huge social life...but it's pointless when you think about it. Your mother is always going to be there for you, and she loves you unconditionally...and would die for you...how many of your friends would do that? I'm not saying to NOT spend time with your friends...I'm just saying DO STUFF with your mother. Go shopping with her and don't ask for anyhing for a change. When you go into one of her shops..and she's trying on clothes....tell her how great they look on her. It's alright for mothers and daughters to be friends. And eventually you'll want to do stuff with her, rather then spend every waking moment with your friends. Imagine if one of your best friends spent all their time with another friend? You'd be jealous too. Try to see where your mother is coming from...and compromise. She has a life too.

Maybe it's because I've had my period for years and I'm comfortabe saying I have it to anyone that calls me a bitch :) Why be scared? She's your mother. She has it too. Walk right up to her like it's no big deal (cuz it isn't) and ask..."Hey Mom! I heard tampons are easier...can you get me some?" It's as simple as that. Promise. And your mother won't even give it a second thought. Oh and there is directions in each tampon box to show you how to use them. ;)

I could help you...but I can't. It all depends on the situation. I have a friend in your position. He's in love with his girfriend (I mean...serioulsy in love...he's 17) and all they do is bicker and argue, constantly. And I personally want him to break up with her (because I like him) But I can't do that. He loves her ALOT, regardless if they bicker. He knows it'll be okay in the end. And he loves her. So my suggestion to you is find out if you REALLY want to be with this guy. Is he worth it? Because if he isn't...then yeah...it's time to find something that is. Ask yourself questions. Alot. Ask him questions. Question everything. And if you still can't decide take a month break from each other, and then fate will step in. If you like it better...then just break up with him...and move on. But if you realize that you really do want to be with him, fate will step in. :D

It's not weird that you're recondsidering him because he's bi. It's natuaral to be freaked about something you've never done before, for instance..dating a bi guy. But if you do want to have a serious relationship with him...you will have to get over the fact that he's "kissed a guy" before. I've kissed a bi guy before. And it didn't really hit me. But then again, everyone's different. I was just leery on his actual sexuality. But if you're sure he's bi... and you like him. Focus on, not how many guys he's kissed, but what his eyes do when he wants to kiss you. Everyone's differet, and over time, it won't matter to you.

Ask "MFS" he's the best at site difficulties. And he'll help you out.

I personally think you should take the person that'll have the most fun.

Yeah...it is normal. I'm saying this fro experience. Your heart is broken, and it's going to stay that way for a long time. But eventually you'll find tape, and start piecing the pieces back together. It'll still hurt, trust me, but it gets better. Time heals everyhing. You'll never really forget him, but you also will realize that your heart wasn't meant for him. Do stuff. Do stuff with friends. Hang out with guys...YES you will see him in other guys. You'll hear his laugh, see the same glint in his eyes with this new guy yur talkin to...but it's okay. He was part of you. You will eventually move on (so I'm told) when you start realizing that what you're feeling now isn't reality, and everything about him should be a memory. And yet...it never will be will it? If you ever need someone to talk to about this email or IM me. I know what you're going through, and maybe I can be a drug. :D It was worth a shot. -

I'm going to...attempt this. By answering this question, I'm giving you advice from the "teenage" prospective...since my sister is 3 years younger. First off. Don't listen to anyone that says "Just talk her and tell you how you feel." That is shit, and that is a lame excuse for advice. Because it's not realistic. If you do that...she feels really bad. And then she'll try to spend time with you because she feels bad about how she's been acting towards you, and it will be one big facade she's putting up, and it won't last long. Your sister loves you, right? Of course she does. But sometimes she doesn't know how to show it. You bug her. You mock her. You imitate her...and you try to be more like her. And sometimes you try too hard. Good sister relationships take time to build. So don't annoy her, and don't try to spend every waking moment with her. Start slow. For instance...one night when she's watching a television show...just plop down at a safe distance..and during the commercial say something she'll find funny. Get a conversation started. And laugh. Laughing is always great. Try to talk to her (not your 1st conversation) about what's up in her life...and earn her trust. For instance, if you find out something bad she did, or she tells you a secret, don't consider it perfect blackmail. Treasure it. Build on it. And once your sister realizes that you are your own person, she'll be more apt to talk to you about things and do stuff with you. :D Anything else, ask me. -

It is said that you do. My mother says it. But I strongly believe you don't. I don't have one either. But...I don't really care because I love my mother more than anything, she's my role model, and she's all I need. I think you need someone to look up to. Get advice from. Talk to. Someone who will help you shape you into the person you are going to be some day. That doesn't have to be your father. The only thing, it might change the way you look at relationships. Atleast it did for me.

I can't quote this perfectly...but I know the jist of it. You are only yourself, when you're by yourself. I sometimes even doubt that. But for the most part. I think it's true. You will be different around everyone. Seriously. It is part of who you are. You are different around everyone. For instance. My three best friends are completely different in every which way. One is serious and really deep. One is shallow and hyper and concieted. And one is self absorbed ad gorgeous. With one, we talk alot and tell each other what matters most. With another I pretend i'm pretty and strut down the side of the highway getting beeped at by strange men. And another I sit and listen to everything and give him advice, and acknowledgement. And I'd never do any of these things with anyone different. The point is. You are SO complex. You have SO many sides. You don't show them with everyone. As long as you aren't "pretending" with them...then you are being yourself, the only way you know how with that person. Your friend is wrong. She likes how you are with her. She just has to accept it. :D

A million possiblities on what the real story is. I think though, that your side seems pretty liable though. The thing that really gets me is..they don't give a damn about M...so why would they give a damn about trying to save him from her? That isn't logical. And breaking her up to get her is a bad way of going about anything. All one can do is sit back in the shadows and lust from a distance. Besides...when she breaks up with M...:D -Sorry, it's late. But I'll have better ideas tommorow.- Hope my opinion made sense.

:D It's okay. Really it is. Calm down. I have one suggestion though if you don't want to be seen in the movie theatre, go to the back of the theatre. Top row...all the way down. NO ONE will see you. Trust me, especially if you go to a good movie. And here's another great thing. When you DO sit in the back, the girl knows what's coming. She's going to expect it. So, if she acts like she doesn't want to sit there...then it's probably because she doesn't want to do it in that setting, or she doesn't want to kiss you (which isn't likely) So if she smiles...or even just agrees with you...she wants it. And trust me, you'll be comfortable then. ;)

-Becoming un-shy takes some work. This you will never really "grow" out of, you're just going to have to work harder than some people. Once you become more comfortable with the girl you are around...things will eventually get better. Promise. You'll bring out your true self with her, and if you don't...ask yourself why you're with her (cheesey/lame/corny) But true. -

All you need to know.

1. I'm very good at giving advice.
2. Asking for advice is just reassurance for yourself.
3. Period.
