im 13/f and i finally found a guy i would like a long term relationship with but my friends are just laughing at me and makeing fun of me like guys are not an very important factor in my life but i dont know how to show them im serious. Please help.

sleepiesheep

well talk about him alot, how much you like him, or how much you have in common, even anything about him that is not important at all (ex.. did you know that his favorite cheese is colby jack and the way he says rasberries is soo cute) then they will be like wow she really has it for him... and if they say anything be like look guys, i like this guy alot and idk y u dont think im serious, i really like him and would appriciate some support... that should shut them up... and if it doesnt who cares... go for the dude, they will still be your friends... then you could prove them wrong by having a relationship with him...... :)

I want to get highlights for my hair. I'm female 13 blue eyes amd light brown hair. I want to get a lot of medium brown streaks, and then also a few blonde streaks. I'm not sure if this will look good so I need opinions if thats a good combination for highlights?

yeah im sure it will look good... i would go to some one good... make sure they get close to the roots... but i think i would only go a shade or two lighter or darker... i wouldnt go too crazy.. i would tell the person you want it to look natural and not to drastic of a change

Hey all. Well, I'm 14/f and I'm entering the 9th grade in August. I was thinking about playing volleyball in highschool, even though I don't have that much experience (playing in p.e. class), and they said that no experience is needed. I'm not sure if I should try-out because I don;t know if it would be best to be on the team in the 9th grade, or wait till next year, go to volleyball camp before the next season, and try-out in the 10th grade. I'm confused, and I don't know what to do. Could you guys help me. Also, what are they looking for, as of skills that'll get you on the team? Thanks.

i would try out... buy a volleyball and practice at home... if you dont make it then go to the camp and try out again... but if you dont try out you might regret it.. im sorry i dont know many of the skills... i played tennis and ran track instead of volleyball... but for sure try out

what are other ways i can get rid of body hair other than shaving and waxing that won't cost much?

thanks in advice.

it depends where you are talking about... but i would consider using creams... they dont leave razor burn either... for bikini line i use nair... it says its vinilla smoothie sent... the truth is most of them smell bad... but after you wash it off it doesnt really smell

hey, well im thinking about starting to wear eyeliner. so i have a few questions about it. the first one is when you apply eyeliner do you apply it on both the top and the bottom? what looks btter? another question i have is when you apply eyeliner do you apply it above or below your eyelashes. also what color eyeliner is best? black or brown? last thing is should i use liquid eyeliner or the regular kind? thanks in advance.

-caitt

when i first started wearing eyeliner i just did a little on my top (meaning half way to the ends.. but that depends on your eyes) i didnt do the bottom too becasue i thought that looked like too drastic of a change and didnt like the way it looked at first, you put it about your eyelashes, color... it depends on you eye/hair colr/ skin tone.... but typically i use brown almost all the time (i have blue eyes and blonde hair) and at night or at a party i used black... i really like clinique liquid eyeliner i used that for a long time.. but then i fell in love with teddy by mac..... also sometimes i put a darker brown on the top and lighter on the bottom... sorry this answer is sooo long... but when i put it on i get a smidge thicker as i go out to the ends of my eyes on the top and go a liiiittle past the corner.. then on the bottom (i go below the lashes on the bottom fyi) i connect it to the corner and go about half way... you dont want a really distinct line... and the sharper the pencil the better

Ok. how do you make out? cause i have no idea how to or what it is! can someone tell me what it is and how you do it? I REALLY NEED HELP! and if the person your doing it with knows how will you look like an idiot or can they not even tell?

i completly agree with the girl before.... there is no certain way a person can make out... and i dont think too many people out there have enough experience to even be able to judge/compare on how you kiss.... but yeah....you can just get into a rythem... and if you are really nervous, you can just let the other person lead... but its no big deal... (my first time, the guy was not that good, but he seemed to think i was really good) dont worry... it will come natural.. it does to everyone

14/f. i really don't want to come off as full of myself or anything because i'm definitaly not. but i've kinda started to notice that a lot of guys stare at me (in a good way lol), or check me out. like at the beach two REALLY hot guys were checking me out (and its not like i have a really good body or anything like that). even my parents noticed them checking me out. and i've been noticing this going on a lot lately. but the problem is that nobody even notices me like that at school. i think it is because i'm shy.

so my question is...do you think that the guys at my school don't notice me like the other guys do because they actually know my personality and they know that i'm shy? if so, what can i do to get them to notice me like other guys do?

Thanks

hmm i dont think its because of your personality.. i think its just because they have known you for sooo long..... but when you do get one... all the other guys will wake up and probably get really jealous. then they willll definatly notice you (happened to me).... well how shy are we talking?... maybe try to be a little more outgoing or flirt more

i really need help, the other day i was really drunk and kissed another guy, and i have a bf..its completley killing me and i feel horrible..should i tell my bf, what should i do? has anyone been in this position before..thanks.

the sooner the better.... if you tell him the truth that you were really drunk and you feel awful and really sorry you would be better off... if you wait and he finds out from someone else it wont be pretty

yesterday i weighed 113 pounds and i'm 5'8 and today i weigh 111.3 and i'm trying to get down to 100 how long do you think it will take? will i keep losing weight this fast? or is there some kind of pill i can take or drink something? it would be greatly appreciated if someone answered =] thank youu

k well basically if you want to lose weight i would agree with the girls before me.... but i dont think you need to get to 100, 100 at 5'8" is realllllly skinny, unless you have absolutely no muscle, i wouldnt concentrate on your weight.. im 5'9" and weigh 117... but im still a 00 in jeans.... sooo i reallllly dont think you need to drop down to 100

hey i asked a question about the chi straightner. i think im going to buy it off ebay but everyone said it cost like 100 bucks and on ebay the cheapest i can get it is around $12-14. they're only one inch irons but i dont care. i just want to know what kind you guys have. theres a whole bunch of different styles: pink, white, black, gray/red, and stuff like that. and what else kind of characteristics does it have? i just want to know which one you guys have specifically so i know its not a scam!

thanks again!

umm well to tell you the truth i dont really know what type of chi mine is... i think they are all pretty much the same... mine is black.. but i shop off of ebay all the time and i dont think it is a scam...

ok im scared senseless of using a tampon like im jus scared itll hurt. ive tried puttin one in like 3 times & i cant even do it bc i tense up so bad. ive heard people say that you cant even feel it when its in but ive also heard ppl say you can feel it just enough to tell its inside you soo which is it???

idk what the last girl is talking about.... i put one in the first time i had mine... yeah at first it was a little hard... but just read the back of the box a couple times, and take a deep breath.... you will probably feel it going in the first couple times, and when you take it out, but while its in there you might feel it a little when you first put one in, but i think its because of mentaly.... like you know its in there, and you feel weird it is because its new to you so you notice it... but that only last like the first couple times you use one...... i convinced one of my friends to just use one, and she is sooo glad i did..... dont worry.... trust me you will get sooooo used to it that you wont ever use pads again.............. i would get tampax pearl they are the easiest....

i'm confused as to where the line between the signs of friendship and love actually is,so here are a couple of scenarios,please answer according to number.

1)She calls your name all the time,even when you do not cross paths,or when you are not near her.is she just being friendly?or something deeper?

2)she says you look handsome playing the guitar

3)she compliments you on something(e.g drumming),which is good(she's not just exaggerating it to flatter you).Is she just complimenting because i'm really good?or because she likes me?

4)let's say you are famous in a band,and she doesn't know you but only through recognition from your performances,so she tells her friends that you are the singer for the band or she galnces at you.Is is that she likes you or that she just recognizes you as the singer for that band?

5)She asks your number,but doesn't really message you.Is she shy,or does she just wanna be friends?

well.. i dont really know the girl, but it sounds like she is intereseted... if you want something to be there, flirt with her... if she flirts back most likely she likes you.... next time you talk to her notice her eyes see if she looks at you differently than her friends... start a game of staring at her then looking away when she notices..and see if she plays back or if she is doing it already.... or when you are playing, see if she is looking at you or at your band.

i'm 17 and i've been wondering something confusing about girls.For instance take these two scenarios:

1)I went to a camp and this gal was looking and smiling at me alot and i did the same too, then later i saw her profile on the internet and messaged her,but she didint' reply back.So has she forgotten me?is she playing hard to get?she doesn't want to look desperate?she doesn't want to look to obvious?

2)Second scenario, I see this gal regularly when I pick my sis up for dance lessons,she keeps on looking at me and I know it, but after a while she stops looking at me and acts as if I;m not there?
Is it because she doesn't want to be too obvious?playing hard to get?forgotten about me?or lost feelings for me?

thanks for reading and I hope you can answer my question.

ok... well im 16 and a girl... and if you think these girls like you, talk to them, 99% of girls dont like to make the first move, they could be acting less interested so you become more interested... i no sounds stupid but thats an example of playing hard to get... my advice is talk to them more and then start to flirt more, but not too much unless you are for sure they like you, because girls like chalanges too, if you act toooo interested you might scare them off.

Hey,
Im 15 years old, female, 5'3, and weigh 87 pounds All theese B.M.I things say i am dangerously underweight...even though i have a very small body frame, im also a late bloomer (I havent had my period) I go to the doctor regularly and they never said i was underweight...i dont feel like im too thin. Should i be worried? Does not having your period and being a late bloomer have an affect on ideal weight?

Thank you.

weight does have something to do with your period... you have your period when your body stores up enough fat... if you dont have much fat, skinny for your height, or really active, your period will come later.... im skinny for my height, and the bmi ratings said the same for me, but my dr never said anything about it... so i would go ur dr's word above your health teachers... but if it makes you feel better i didnt start mine until a couple months before my 15th birthday... it could also be genetic... find out when your mom/ grandmas did.... my guess is they were late w/ theres too... but i think you are fine... i would just be careful you will probably get it soon.. so i would keep some stuff w/ me in case you do :)

hey.
ok . I have this guy friend and were close and we hang out alot. he brought one of his friends to the mall. and after the mall, me and his friend kinda liked each other. well he liked me alot and im like sorta. but then we started hanging out alot....so now we both like each other alot. and...he has a girlfriend. were kinda mutal friends. and everytime we went to the movies he would be like kiss me and id be like no you have a girlfriend and hes like im gonna break up with her. and im like i dont think thats a good idea. Ok well he just broke up with her and now hes I/M'ing me saying who do you like? and im like im not sure and hes like not me huh and im like idn. Okk. i really like him and i want to go out with him. Yes..theres another problem. someone told his ex that we were like flirting alot and stuff. and shes kinda my friend. so now if i go out with him shell imediatly believe the rumors are true. Most of the rumors are a little true but i didnt kiss him and everyone thinks i did.
so do you guys think i should just wait for a while untill there break up is completly over and shes dating someone else to go out with him. but what if he doesnt want to wait. should i tell him that i just want to wait to go out cause of his ex. hed probably understand.
ohh and hes kinda of a player...yeahh not good.

talk to him about it... tell him your situation.. and be like look i really like you.. but i dont want to do that .. your x is my friend.. and i dont want to do that to her.. just wait.. but for now play it cool... he might get mad... but his x will probably rebound... and when she does start flirting w/ him again... this worked for me... but his x liked my x so we kinda swapped, and she couldnt be mad at me and i couldnt be mad at her because we both did the same thing (that sounds kinda bad, but it realllly wasnt at all)... i hope that helped

This has been confusing me for awhile. People tell me I'm pretty all the time. And when I go to camp or leave my town, the guys all want me. But when I'm home, it seems like they want nothing to do with me. Guys also have said I'm hot and whatever, but why do they not make a move? I'm so confused and so sick of people saying, your pretty and me not getting any guys. Why do you think this is?

wow.... same problem.... the guys are scared... they think you are out of their league.. so they dont make moves... but once you get a boyfriend, it will probably be a guy you just met... not that you have known for a while... all the other guys will get jealous, and start comming out saying how the liked you and stuff... but the trick is is to not be mad and be like you should have made a move... but to keep being yourself, act like you dont notice.. they will want you more if you do...

O.k. now I always give good boy advice but this has never happened to me or anyone else I know. Ok here's the situation:My boyfriend hasn't called me in 4 days! Thats not normal 4 him he usually calls almost everyday if its only a 4 minute talk or 4 hours. I mean there are plenty of situations to where he can't call like for some example's: His grandmother won't let him use his cell(their hous phone is disconnected),he's punished, or he's working with his uncle. but he doesn't work 24/7 so he could of called. What do ya'll think of this. Is he gonna break up with me or what? I mean its ok if he wants to break up with me but everyone knows (even his own mother and my mother!!) that he loves and adores me. The last time I talked to him he didn't act like anything was wrong everything was perfectly ok and I can tell when somethings wrong with him or anyone by attitude, tone of voice, and stuff like that. So anyone got any tips on what I should do and what he's trying to tell me, (if anything, cuz no matter what he usually tells me straight up no matter how bad), or why he's ignoring me!> Just anything please help me!! I'll rate high for good answers.

this happened to me.... and a week later my boyfriend said he loved me... k well i tried calling him and he didnt answer.. and he didnt return my calls... so i left a message like.... _____(name) im really sad you havent been calling me back... i miss you....... and sound sad.. like how you feel.... later that day he called me back saying im sorry baby blah blah blah.. and its been good since... i wouldnt worry

are chi straightners good? like really good? i'm trying to find a new straightner for this school year. i'm free for experimenting but i have to use my own money so i want some backround information before i buy it. and what's the average cost?

oh, and if there are better straightners that are like out-of-this-world (and under 40 dollars please), i'd like to hear about them too. so far i used conair and remington but they're not working as well as i was looking for.

thanks a bunch!

yes chis are awsome.... thats what i have... they last for a really long time.. and straighten your hair in noooo time... but the downside is they are expensive... around 120... but they are extreem miracle workers.. they will straighten even the curliest of curly hair

Ok Im 13/f i havnt had a boyfriend since before school let out ! And this summmer i was hoping to find a summer love . But so far it hasnt happenend = ( . I Like some boys but they dont like me back. Also i want a boyfried sooo bad but not to the point i would just go out with anybody ! Please help me . So my question is ... Is there anyway i could kinda make them like me or anyways to be flirtashish ( i spelled that wrong) ?
Sorry Its Semi Long

u sort of sound like me.... dont worry they will come around... for some reason in sixth grade i had alot of boyfriends but then half way through 7th till the middle of 9th.. i didnt have any... i acted the same... but i dont think the probelm is you... i think its the guys.... around that age they get weird... and the girls that did have boyfriends at that age... wont have them when they are older... if you keep being yourself... and friends w/ all of them... they will alllll chase after you in a couple years... trust me... just give them time to grow up... but go ahead and flirt as much as you want.. have crushes... but they will come to you in the future... trust me (i no you probably think this is a little ridiculous... but im now a sophmore.. and have had non-stop boy attention.. and ive been myself this whole time.. i think girls just grow up faster)

This is NOT a joke. I seriously think my house is haunted. Tonight I saw something (a black figure out of the corner of my eye) walk past my room. The reason why I dont think it was "just my eyes playing a trick on me" is because I felt a prescence, like there was someone there. When I looked down the hall, there was no one there. I asked my Dad who was watching TV in another room if it was him and he said, "No." And my Mom was sleeping in her room and no one else was home. Please help! This has happened 3 or 4 times and I cant sleep at night! What should I do?? Has this happened to anyone else? How did you feel less scared? :(

this happenes to me all the time... or did... i feel like when im going to bed or walking down a dark hallway in my house that there is something there... watching me/ following me... it scares the shit out of me... but what i do... that makes me feel better... i walk in the light.. or run through the dark.. i find when you walk you get more scared.. i no that sounds extreemly childish... but also when you are in your room and feel like you see something or feel something... you can do two things... one stare at it, or two ignore it... then turn on the lights or the tv.. so you can see in that area that there is nothing there... the more brave you are about it.. the better you will feel...
