i've been getting acne lately ( the little red bump kind) and its sooo annyoing!! what are some really good medications- and i'd like to know....does proactiv really work ? is it worth buying? i have oily skin and this just started happening. thanks in advance! (link)
| |
Proactive does work. My cousin has the same problem that you do, and proactive kept her face free for as long as she had it! I was rather impressed. But yeah, I would buy proactive. And also, wash your face once a day with soap. That might help to!

okay so this year i started taking a speech class, the thing is..i used to have such A GREAT CONFIDENCE when it came to giving speeches, everyone always says im awesome im always proud of myself after a speech, i know i was funnier and more interesting than everyone else.. (like not to sound conceited or anything, but giving speeches is pretty much what i do!) but i gave my first speech, and my messed up teacher gave me a C and EVERYONE else an A. And it completely screwed me up, after that, when i had to give a speech in english or some other class.. i'd get so nervous and completely screw up and get a bad grade. And now im like afraid of talking! and ive been skipping school soooo much because i fear giving speeches.. so i just told my mom about this, and she said.. its up to you, you can drop out of the class if you want to..
here's the thing though, a part of me is saying.. i should keep going, i mean i already wasted half a year on it, and there's only 12 more hours of it until its over, and i might even end up with a B. You know? it feels kinda pointless to quit..
but then again, you guys dont understand how much i cry over this, its got me all anxious and nervous and everytime i think "Im gonna go tomorrow, and give the best speech ever and prove everyone wrong!" i checken out, last minute.. i start crying.. and run home. I dont know hwy im so affected by this.
im not sure because this can go one out of two ways.. like if i quit, ill be stuck with this feeling of failure, and ive already developed a fear of giving speeches (something i used to be great at!) so maybe it will stick with me forever if i dont go and make it better, get my grade up!
OR it could do what it has already done, mess up my confidence..even more, I TRULY FEAR walking in to that classroom! i cringe at the though of it!
what do you think i should do?? please help, i know its silly but you dont understand how much this has affected me and how much of a big deal this is.. its really hard on me for some reason. its sooo hard for me. help. (link)

I used to be like you. I would get nervous in front of the class. What I did was I started practicing in front of my friends and family. I also took a BUNCH of classes where you HAVE to stand up in front of the class to boost my confidence. Of course, I live in a small town where most of my teachers are pretty mellow. So here is my advice, like I said, try practicing in front of friends or family. What about the mirror? If you practice your speech enough, your confidence should come back. I wouldn't worry about the C. Now, if you do a really good job, and STILL get a bad grade, ask your mom to talk to the school. "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." You never know until you take the risk.

Is there a volunteer club at your school? I know at my school we have 2(Interact Club and Natural Helpers). If there is something like that at your school, try joining. If not, volunteer at your local animal shelter or veterans hospital. I know they would really appreciate your help. Or how about the Humane Society? I know that whichever college you choose will be proud and impressed with the volunteer work you will do.

Over the past few years, I've become increasingly interested in photography. So this year, I decided I'd ask for a camera for Christmas.
The thing is, I know pretty much nothing about cameras.
So if you've got any suggestions about what camera gives the best picture quality, best software, best battery life, etc., I'd appreciate your input.
Also, best buys for the price. Cameras under $160 are my immediate interest right now.

Hi. I am in a photography class and my teacher got us Canons, which work pretty well. She says they are excellent cameras. Why don't you try looking for one of those? I hope my advice helped you out.

me and my boyfriend have been together a year the 15th of this month and i have no idea what to get him. i wanna get him something cute or do something cute for him without spending over $100. do you have any cute ideas for me? itd be greatly appreciated. (link)
| |
Why don't you try finding something for him that applies to his interests? Or how about just trying to spend the day together? I know couples that just go to the park all day and don't spend a dime, and they tell me that it was the best thing they ever did. I'm sorry if I couldn't help.

I would really like to make more friends people I can talk to. So how should I start making new friends? (link)
| |
How about joining a club or sport at your school that you enjoy? If you hang around people with common interests, you should be able to make friends pretty easily. You also have to be the bold one sometimes to say hello. Are there some new students at your school? Try hanging with them and see if they have anything in common with you. I hope i helped you out.

Well, I broke up with my boyfriend a few days ago, but yeah. We were going out for about 2 months, and this guy who is Junior, told me that he has a "crush" on me, and everybody now thinks that I broke up with my ex for this guy. The truth is, I didn't, and he told me this at a party, and everybody was playing spin the bottle, and then I landed on him, so he kissed me, and I was like: WTF. But, my ex found out about this and called me a whore yesterday, while I was out for Halloween. And now, the guy who is a junior said that he'd "go after" this kid, and I'm kinda... Happy about it.
I know it sounds bad, but this junior is said to ask me out, I figure he's kinda violent, but he's really nice to me. And what should I do about the "whore" thing? (link)
| |
The junior who has a "Crush" on you probably just wants to have sex with you. And no matter how your ex treats you, you might want to make some things clear. Thats what I did when it happened to me and now my and my ex are just friends. It turned out ok, and I hope it will for you.

The only thing you will probably need is an X-ray, and they do make you take off your clothes, but they put you in 2 dressing gowns. One to cover the front, and one to cover the back. I don't think you will need needles or shots or anytihng like that. As far as the question, don't worry about it. No question is too stupid for us to answer. Ask anything you like. ^_^ :D

My best friend is avoiding me:(
We've been going to different schools for a while now and we've always been very close.
She has new friends now and I think she prefers them over me.
She completely avoids me online and calls.
I haven't spoken to her for about a week.
and it makes me really sad because I don't trust anyone and I don't have too many close friends.
I don't want to confront her about it because I already know what she will say. So is there anything I can do? (link)
|
I know what you're going through, and I know it hurts. About a year ago, my BFF and I got into a major fight, and she wouldn't talk to me. I found myself calling HER. Going over to HER house. She never wanted to come over to my house. And when I did go to her house, I was ignored and left behind. I don't know if this will work for you, but I know it did for me, find a way to fill the hole. Find another girl you can totally gab with. Is there a new girl at your school? Try making friends with her. If your mom will let you, try finding a pen pal. If you want a pen pal, try this website: http://girlslife.com/index.php?id=49

ok at my school, all of the boys used to like me but now they all hate me. i dont think im ugly when i look in the mirror, i dont feel ugly or look it. but to them i do. i try to be nice to them but their still mean to me. it feels good to be liked, and not even the nerds like me.
no one understands what im going through. my grandpa who is my all time hero is very sick and my parents keep threatening to put me out on the streets. my grades are suffering also. i just need a shoulder to cry on and i try to talk to someone about it but they just say oh my life is worse. i just need someone to tell me that everything will be alright. (link)
| |
If its THAT bad, you need to talk to someone you trust who won't be mean to you. Like a school counselor or therapist. If you need a shoulder to cry on, i'm very sympathetic and will listen to what you have to say. I'm so sorry about your grandpa. I will pray for him and hope he gets better.

Hi, here's my problem. i shaved my legs like i usually do but my left leg soon after started burning and it hurts really badly. Is there anything i can use to sooth it quickly? (link)
| |
I don't know how to sooth a razor burn, but if you use hair conditioner, your legs will be much smoother, and you won't nick yourself, and, as far as I know, you won't get razor burn either. There is also a bladeless shaving kit called nair, which really does a good job as well. If anything, use lotion after your done shaving. It really helps. Tell me if it helped. :}

so my one "friend" pretends to cut herself.then she makes a big deal out of it when people ask to see her arms,implying that she cuts.she doesnt.she just wants people to feel bad for her.and she tells EVERYONE.from the people i know that have cut,they dont like people to know.its just really annoying because she gets all the attention for something that isnt even true.she makes tiny little marks on her arms with like paper.and then when i say that she doesnt,she gets all mad at me and says what a horrible friend i am.im not trying to be mean,but it just bugs me.how can i get her to stop being so annoying about it.oh,and another thing,whenever we get in fights,she always goes and says that she has to go because shes gonna go cut herself.how can i get her to stop?
please i need help asap.thanks. (link)
| |
It sounds like your friend is clamboring for attention. Is there something bugging her? A sick mom? A dad in Iraq? You should talk to your school counselor with her. Try to figure out what is really going on. Does her mom knows that she is faking cutting herself? One day, she might really cut herself. Like I said, talk to someone close to you to try to figure it out.

ok, so before i get totally into my question, i HAVE to add this, cause it will be important: im still trying to figure out my sexuality. i like girls but im not sure.
ok, onto my question. today in fourth block me and my friend thuy(girl) were talking. we just met this year. well she asked me if i had a boyfriend and i said no. then she was like well do you want me to hook you up with someone, and i just shrugged my shoulders. then she was like what kind of guy do you like, and she started saying like sweet and cute boys, athletic, and the whole time i just shrugged my shoulders. and she was like would your parents be mad if you dated a black boy? i was like no.. then she was like an asian boy? again i said no.. then she asked about white boys, i was like what do you think? then she was like do you like girls, and i mean i cant tell her yes, so i was like no way. then she grabbed my arm and i was like i think your cute and i like you or something like that. then we both started laughing and she was like im kidding. then my best friend was texting me and i got my phone to text her, and she was like who are you texting, your boyfriend or girlfriend? i was like i dont have one... then i turned back around to talk to her and she was like do you like asian girls.... and i was like as friends? yes.. and as soon as i said yes she was like as friends. she was like you should have let me finish my sentence.
thats basically it, but i dont know what to think. was she hinting, or just kidding around?? i dont know... help? (link)

It sounds to me like your Best Friend thinks you're going out with Thuy (if that's her name). What I think you should do is somehow make your sexual preference clear. Do you like boys or girls or both? Once you have that figured out, figure out whether or not you want it to be private. If you decide private, make it clear that you don't love girls. If you want it to be something that only your girls know, that's cool. I'll tell you, one of my friends is Lesbian, and i'm the only one she's told. Let me know how it goes, Ok?
