Hey my names Chrissabelle and I love giving advice. I always have. Most of my friends call me Chrissie but really like to be called anything. Well... :p I really would like to be a psycologist when I get older. I love listening to other people, I've always been a good listener and I love to help people to the best of my abilities. I love being with family, hanging out with friends, ice skating, and tennis. I also love to laugh and have fun. Who doesn't? Honestly I just am a really happy person although I can come off really serious to people who don't know me which really sucks. I haven't been answering advice for a few weeks because of numerous reasons but now I'm back and so glad to be able to help everyone again. I really hope I can guys =) That's about it so ask me anything, anytime you need advice and I'll try to help you as best I can!

I'm going on vacation extremely soon and I just noticed on my arms I have bumps that are most likely pimples. I used this clean and clear acne pad thing and wiped it on my arms. Is there anything else I can do to get the pimples smaller and dried out quickly?
Thanks (:

Hey. Don't feel bad because a lot of teenagers get this at our age, me being one of them but I got a few bumps like this on my knees for a little while and eventually they went away. To speed up the process you can smooth down the bumps by exfoliating daily with a loofah or Buf Puf sponge which you can find in the drug store. It could be keratosis pilaris which is bumps of protein in the hair openings but I'm not too sure about that, this may just be some bumps. Sometimes this happens if you shave your arms but I would try the sponges from the drug store. Also, just try using an acne medicine like you would on your face. I know this isn't as serious but it could really help. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

It seems like in my new town,[well,i've lived here since i was in 6th grade,now in 8th...13 yrs old.] i dont have any close friends!! No one ever want to hang out with me. i have a lot of school friends,but they never seem to want to hang out. i know im not interesting,how can i be? i don't know how to get close to anyone or let them in! i feel like im uptight,or quiet,but if they really knew me,im not! they always seem to have fun,but not outside school? i dont get it. how can i be closer to them? & dont says things like join a activitie,its almost the end of the year...kinda. no activities. and no "join a new group of friends" - every time i do that,the same thing happens. i feel so left out. they never want to make plans with me. what do i do? (link)

Hey. I completely understand where you're coming from. Sometimes it's really hard to fit into a new town even if it's been a few years. A lot of people already have their set groups and they feel like a new person would just ruin it which if they got to know you, they'd see was untrue. A lot of times people think I come off really serious but it sucks because if they knew what I was like around people I'm comfortable around I would seem extremely outgoing and stuff. Anyways, I recently realized that I can't be shy any more or act serious around people I don't know very well because I could be passing up the oppurtunity for a new friend. I know you said you've known these people for a while now but it's never too late to become more outgoing. You just have to start off slow so it doesn't look wierd but make cool interesting conversation or come up with something you can laugh about. The more you do this the greater your friendship will become. Don't become discouraged because you've never hung out with any of them because it takes a while for new friendships to develope. Believe it or not even years. So just be yourself and realize how great and fun you can be, and show it to them =). I really hope this helped! =)

Ok so i have light brown hair, cut in layers and i've been wanting to do something to it forever.
i'm thinking of getting highlights or lowlights.
but idk wat colors would look good.
my options are blue, green, purple, black, and the traditional blonde, although im hesistant about the blonde even though it would probably look good on me.
so my question to you is:
what color[s] should i do?
please&thankyou =] (link)
|
Hey. It really sounds like you want to do something different from what you wrote. Otherwise you wouldn't have listed all of those bright colors. Deep down you know you want to do a real color but you're probably afraid of how they will come out. I wouldn't worry about highlights because they fade away eventually if it came out bad. But I really don't think it will because if you go to a place where they know what they're doing (pretty much any hair salon) it will come out great. If you're hesitant about blonde that means you probably really don't want it deep down because you want something more colorful. But you could also go with the blonde since it's the most traditional and if you don't like it, get colors next time. My personal favorite color is purple but go with what you feel is right for you. I really hope this helped! =)

i used to turn red everytime i was embarassed. now for some reaosn my face turns red when im just talking with people. even if they are my good friends! i dont get it. im not embarassed or anything. why does this happen and how can i get it to stop? (link)
|
Hey. I totally understand how you're coming from. The same thing happens to me only like I can feel this nerve in my eye. I know I sound like a looser but honestly that's what happens. I'm pretty sure this occurs when you're under a lot of stress and it's the bodys way of telling you this. Now I don't just mean negative stress but there can also be positive stress such as someone tapping you when you don't expect it or talking about an interesting conversation. The body has many different ways to react to this and yours is probably having your face turn red. What I do is just try to not care or even think about it and if I do think about something else that's really funny or something and you may not even realize it, but your face won't be so red anymore. And don't worry, that's not a bad thing. I really hope this helped! =)

Well, so there's this guy and we are best friends, i think. it's really confusing we've been best freinds for a year now and he has these mood swings like a woman. So anyways i just went up north for 5 days and he tells me when i get back that he dosnt miss me. but now my other best friend says that while i was gone he said this really mean stuff about me. Now just this wendesday which was the day i got back my best friend goes away. then she tells me that he sent her a text saying. - hey are you having fun yet I MISS YOU- it hasnt even been a day yet. now these guys have dated before and they found that it was a bad idea. so they dont like each other anymore. O and when we talk hes always bragging about how hes talked to her more and she blah blah with her more. It makes me so mad please help me understnad whats going on with him i feel like we are like an never ending rollar coaster. (link)

Hey. Sometimes people find one person to pick on because it makes them feel better about themselves. I know you said you feel like he's your best friend but if he told you he didn't miss you when you came back home than that is NOT a best friend. Your other friend may have made up the part about him saying mean things about you to cause trouble but he very well could have. If he constantly has mood swings where sometimes he's mean, sometimes he's nice than he's putting you in a miserable situation and making you upset because of his faults. Also, if he's always complementing your other friend and not you than he is hurting you in that way too. I would ignore him and just act like everythings o.k. but be casual friends or just say hi to him whenever you see him but I deffinitely wouldn't hang out with him anymore. And if you're other friend is mean to you about it than that's not a friend. But if she doesn't care or doesn't mention it than that's great. It might be hard at first but eventually he may get the hint and ask you what's wrong. That is the time when you can tell him. I've had a friend just like this but it was a girl and I finally ended the friendship. It wasn't until months later that she apologized, admitted she was wrong, and told me how much she missed me. I would either end the friendship or at least take a break from him. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

he says he deserves repsect from me but i think i do from him.
he cusses at me, and hes uber hypacrtitical.
he says i have to change if i want to live in his house.
uhm HES NOT MY REAL FATHER !
and there is no fucking way that im going to change for anyone, especially him.
so. i kinda cut. /: (link)
|
Hey. Even though you may be upset now that he's not your real dad and he's still telling you what to do you're going to look back years later and realize that it was foolish to hurt yourself over this. You may not realize it but you're cutting yourself to get attention so that he'll leave you alone and be kinder to you even if he doesn't know yet. But even so you're acting this way to get attention and believe me I'm not blaming you because I see why you're upset. But years later you will be even more angry that you cut yourself over him and you will just become more hurt than if you took responsibility and told him how you feel. I know how angry you are that he's acting this way since he's not your real dad but believe it or not if you don't fight him or talk back to him he will stop nagging you. He will be nicer and it may take a while but eventually I bet he will be. I know, I know, you're shaking your head at me right now but it's true. You don't have to treat him anything like your real dad by any means but just treat him as someone you're respectful to and if he's still mean to you then you have to talk to your mom. Write a letter if it's easier. But PLEASE don't cut, you're going to be even angrier that you're hurting yourself over this man. Whereas if you're the nice, responsible one, and your stepdads still mean you can realize that he's the bad guy. But I bet he'll change if you just be curtious. There's someone out there who cares for you and that person really doesn't want you to cut, and although I don't know you, that's me. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

Ok, me and my class are going on a big trip soon. We get to room with people that we want and there is four to a room. My best friend has another friend that never pays any attention to me. That is who we are rooming with. Me, my best friend, her other friend, and another one of our friends. My best friendsother firend acts like i never excsist and when me, her and my bff hang out neither pay any attention to me and i try to be a part of the conversation but they still exclude me. Wehave already tuned in our room papers so i cant change who i room with. I have t be with them both for a week and i dont want to be miserable on a trip that i should have be having fun at. I know that my bff's friend will exclude me and not pay any attention to me and when she does that my bff also does it. I know that they dont realize it but i have already talked to them and nothing about them is going to change. I want to have fun on the trip but i don't want to feel left out. Any suggestions? thanks! (link)

Hey. Ok I have had a few friends just like this and I know how you feel. It's really not nice at all that they both don't realize what they're doing. Well actually, I bet your best friends best friend does realize what she's doing and she does it on purpose so your best friend will like her better because she's jealous. Your friend probably just goes along and doesn't realize she's hurting you but she is and that's Not a best friend. Before I met my new best friend a few years ago I had some friends who were pretty bad now that I look back. My new best friend is about the nicest person I could have found and I'm so happy I met her. You have to find a really nice best friend like this and for now just ignore your two "friends". They may take more notice to you if you do this believe it or not. I bet your other friend feels the most left out because she thinks you're all best friends so I would try sticking with her on the trip. Who knows? She may become your new best friend. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

OK, well, I have this odd problem where when I do my homework, it's pretty hard for me to concentrate. If I hear the tiniest noise, I can't work at all. My parents have gave me earplugs, but I feel totally dorky and that there must be another way. Any ideas?
P.S. My family is LOUD, and I can't get them to be quiet.
~UnCoNcEnTrAtEr (link)

Hey. I'm the exact same way a lot of the time whether it's a car outside or just the slightest noise. You probably feel really frustrated because you have to wear earplugs but in the long run you'll feel proud of yourself that you found a solution. I wish I had earplugs and it's not dorky and especially not when you get really good grades which is amazing in the long run. Also, you can go to a library which may be quieter and like get dropped off there. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

there is this guy that i really really have feelings for and i think he knew that before..he told me he liked me too but nothing really came of it, he went out with other girls while he was saying this to me so i was like you obviously dont like me then because your going out with girls and hes like i just went out with them because i thought you liked other guys. anyways one night he got really mad FOR NO REASON i did nothing wrong to him and he said he never liked me, didnt ever want to talk to me so then i try talking to him, making things better because i know i couldnt handle him being mad at me but that didnt help he was still like dont effing talk to me and i was like alright whatever...now he has a girlfriend (everyone thinks he can do much better than her) and he likes her though and i think he forgot about me, and now that he has forgotten about me i cant stop thinking about him, thats how it works though right? =( if i try talking to him he will just say the same crap, why are you talking to me and then i will feel stupid and he will tell his friends and it will not be good..ive tried many many times to forget about him because it seems like he has to me but im not positive. my cousin (shes like my best friend) talks to him still and i just wish we could all hangout like we use to. i MISS him but it seems like i cant even do anything about it..he goes to a different school which doesnt help but im just so lost please dont say get over him..its NOT easy because ive tried trust me. im so jealous though that he has a girlfriend but some people say he was mad at me because he liked me sooo much. after his first girl that he was with he was texting me saying when me and her break up i wanna go out with you ok but i didnt say anything back and we would text and talk to each other late at night and i would be like ohh I LOVEYOU! and people were like he likes you soo much he will do anything for you but now it seems like things have changed and im thinking or maybe im just hoping he is trying to make me jealous and if we started talking again i have a feeling we would "have a thing" again but i just dont know..
any suggestions?
THANKS (link)

Hey. Ok. This guy is acting this way because he was deeply in love with you at one point. Something happened to make him think you didn't feel the same way so he became extremely hurt. Now I'm deffinitely not saying it's your fault or anything but some miscommunication probably occurred and he just became really hurt. Now he's trying to show you that he doesn't need you either to make himself feel better and he's going out with other people to show you that he doesn't like you much either (even though he really does A LOT) and to protect himself from being hurt. What I would do is write him a really wrong letter or test or e-mail telling him how you feel and why you think he feels this way. Say that you're just so hurt right now because you like/d him so much but everytime he went out with someone else it really hurt you. Tell him you're sorry if you hurt him too but you didn't mean to do anything and you think that if you guys work things out it could become true love. I said to write it because it might be much easier rather than in person since you can't get through to him in person. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

WHy is that many times people do not read the question (or story) and give answers that do not make any sense. I mean many times in the story that is posted gives a clear understanding of the answer that should be given and you get an answer that is just plain silly. (link)
|
Hey. I totally hear where you're coming from. A lot of times people just like to be able to say they've answered SO many questions but they really don't care if they Truly helped you or not. They skim through the questions if they're too long and often give very simple answers which can be quite annoying for the person asking them. This is why I try to read the question as best I can and give deep thought into it so I can really help the person as do a lot of other people who are great columnists. I really hope this helped a little =)

Hey. If you have a mall near you there would probably be a lot of them at the teen stores. Some of these stores include Delias, Hollister, Mandees, Joyce Leslie, and even Macy's or J.C. Penny probably has them. I really hope this helped! =)

What's a detox diet? (link)
|
I didn't want to give you totally unaquerate information so I got this from wikipedia. A detox diet is a dietary regimen involving a change in consumption habits in an attempt to detoxify the body by removal of toxins or other contaminants. It is claimed to improve health, energy, resistance to disease, mental state, digestion, as well as aiding in weight loss. You really just remove toxins from the body. I really hope this helped! =)

does anybody have a really GOODDD chocolate chip cookie recipe? i know that i could just google it and get a mediocre (sp?) recipe, but i want a SUPER good recipe, i'm gonna make some for my boyfriend for our 1 year. (link)
|
Hey. I don't have an exact recipe but I would try adding things such as brown sugar, honey peanut butter, bannana, and pumpkin pie sauce. And obviously the chips. This would probably amount to an extremely good chocolate chip cookie! I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

i want a quick make over. umm yeah. i need some advice on some good ideas to do.. some thing i want to work on are like:
-make up (i like the natural look)
-hair (no dying it)
...and anything else you can think of.
just so you know this is what i look like in case that helps:
-blonde (wavy but in a weird way like..it can be flat and wavy which looks good or like kinda big and wavy which is what ever.)
-blue eyed
so yeah thankss! (link)
|
Hey. Firstly, for your hair I would just try something different. If it's long I would cut it and maybe get it layered too. People will love the new look. If it's shorter just try straigtening your hair (since you said it's wavy). Or like if it's always down just try putting it up. Thank you captain obvious lol. But anyways, maybe you can braid it if you never do that. Just stuff like that. Ok secondly, for makeup. If you have blue eyes I would deffinitely try like a darker eyeliner such as black. Eyeshadow too. Or believe it or not blue eyeliner looks amazing on blue eyes. You wouldn't think so but it looks really cool. Then just try to stick with a light lip gloss or something like that (if anything) and a very light blush. I really hope this helped! =)

in the movie aquamarine, i really like their clothes. where do you think i could find that style of clothing, what store? i live around buffalo, NY if that helps. (link)
|
Hey. I would try stores like Pacsun, Abrecrombie, Delia's, Hollister, or like any surf store you can find such as Billabong. Any store with like Roxy or Billabong or Hurley would be good. I really hope this helped! =)

I am really bored.People tell me to get a life.How do I do that.Please tell me how I should get a life,get rid of my boredom,meet new people and make new friends. Any answers are appreciated
(link)
| |
Hey. Well there are a lot of things you can do. To get rid of boredom search the web for things you may be interested in. Make a scrap book, build a shelf, take up a sport you think you may want to try, take up a new hobbie like ice skating or building paper air planes. Write a book. List 1000 ways to eat an ice cream cone or something like that and who knows? It may get published. As for meeting new people there are several things you can do. I'm not quite sure how old you are but if you're older you can go to a club, or save up enough to go on a vacation. I know a lot of people who go on vacations and meet their new best friend. If you're on the younger end like me you can join an activity such where you can meet new people such as tennis, dance, karatee, etc. You can go to things with family members your age (or even not) so you're not alone such as to a concert or something like that. Believe it or not you can meet people here too. Just get out in the world or stay in and learn something new. You can become the next Motzart or Vannessa Williams. I know, incredibly corney =). But anyways, I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

Ok just suddenly i developed a taste for skateboarding. i dunno i think its fun and cool but the problem is i cant skateboard at all. i can barely keep my balance and barely ride it. i was wondering if theres a site that can teach u everything or the basics or REALLY basic ones like positions,riding,stopping, and stuff. and one more thing, is it possible to accomplish somethin by not thinking about something bad thats gonna happen like for example since im learning how to ride a skateboard and when i think i am gonna fall off i do but when i do think of myself just glideing for a few seconds, it happens! heh im starting to get more active now the next thing i wanna do is develop my own fighting style and learn how to do flips and run up walls and jump gaps. and to let you know i sort of started acting like this when i saw this video on youtube. showed people doing kool flips and stuff and i sort of spoke to myself that im gonna train hard and be like them. well srry for makin u read all this ^_^'' just wanted i dunno just say it. (link)

Hey. I totally understand how you feel because I do things like this all the time. And when I stick to it I make it happen and I'm so proud of myself. And yes it's true, you just have to continue to think positively and that you can do it and you will. Just don't give up because it will take a really long time but once you get it you'll be so proud. Sorry if you already knew all this lol. But anyways, some sites where you can learn are http://gaga.essortment.com/learnhowtoska_rwad.htmOR http://skateboard.about.com/od/tricktips/ss/JustStartingOut.htm looks great OR http://www.kidzworld.com/article/4445-how-to-ollie-on-your-skateboard tells you how to do some pretty cool tricks. Also, if you're finding it hard to learn off of a website, believe it or not there may be some places in your area where you can learn. I would check the phone book or ask around. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

Hey. This is deffinitely a mental dissorder (nothing wrong with this of course). OR you could have had a bad experience as a child and whenever this happens your mind sort of goes back to that subconciously and you don't even realize it. You may have coprophobia, a fear of your own waste and there are actually coprophobia specialists out there. I would deffinitely look into it. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)
