Are you allowed to go to the bathroom during a class? Girls bring purses to the bathroom in my school with them all the time. People don't notice. You can put deodorant in your purse and stuff. Also, what about during lunch? You can use perfume too, don't forget. Good perfume lasts. Be sure it's subtle so it won't be totally obvious.

Breath - sugarfree gum or lunch that won't affect your breath much. Like avoid tuna. Or I think some company-not Crest, I think, sells these teeth-brushers that look like finger puppets that you can scrub your teeth with. Or you can use your fingers instead of a toothbrush. I've seen people brushing in my school - not a big deal. Or use alcohol rinsers in the morning, perhaps.

Oily hair - talcum powder or at stores they sell these paper things that soak up oil from your hair. Maybe there is something wrong with your shampoo?

What makeup do you wear? I dunno much about makeup, but if you don't wear waterproof eyeliner, then it might help. Lipgloss you can apply easy.

edit>> oh and one more thing. there is gum you can use to "brush" your teeth. dunno how well that works though!

That is a tricky situation. I would just ask them. Separately or together, I don't know-you have to decide for yourself. Asking them separately means you don't want to hurt their feelings but then you run the risk of people thinking you're slutty. If you don't do anything about it then you'll be left wondering what could have happened. The slutty thing is kind of something you don't have to obsess over. Your friends are the ones that are important. They know you and know the truth of whatever happens, I hope.

Well, are you friends with both of them? Spend more time with them. If one of them likes you, hopefully they will ask you out and you don't have to. They will probably discuss among themselves about this, if they do both like you and not fight over you.

What do the lyrics mean to you? It's a nice song, I don't think it's an insult. This site has users who give their opinions on what a song means to them: http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858575679

Some quotes: "it could be about the breakup, and the possiblity of getting back together, but if it is it certainly has lots more meanings."

"To me this is a love song...it could be about marriage..."life is waiting to begin" "i can't live, i can't breathe Unless you do this with me"

"Imagine you're still in love with someone and that person doesn't love you back, and there's nothing you can do about it. I don't wish that upon anybody."

I wanna have the same last dream again,
the one where I wake up and I'm alive.
Just as the four walls close me within,
my eyes are opened up with pure sunlight.
I'm the first to know,
my dearest friends,
even if your hope has burned with time,
anything that's dead shall be re-grown,
and your vicious pain, your warning sign,
you will be fine.

Hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life's waiting to begin.

Any type of love - it will be shown,
like every single tree reach for the sky.
If you're gonna fall,
I'll let you know,
that I will pick you up
like you for I,
I felt this thing,
I can't replace.
Where everyone was working for this goal.
Where all the children left without a trace,
only to come back, as pure as gold,
To recite this all.

Hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life's waiting to begin.
Tonight,
hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life's waiting to begin.
Tonight,
hey, oh, here I am,
and here we go, life's waiting to begin.

I cannot live, I can't breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
unless you do this with me

Hey, oh, here I am (do this with me),
and here we go, life's waiting to begin (do this with me).
Hey, oh, here I am (do this with me).
And here we go, life's waiting to begin,
life's waiting to begin





Ask him!!!

Whatever will happen will happen. Can you be more precise on what you guys are doing? If he sends you home from say, a movie, and if he walks you to your door, just say thanks for a good night, smile and say bye. Then go in your house. Or if you be straightfoward with him up front from the beginning he should respect your decisions/beliefs. If not, what do you think you should do. Oh, you can hint to him things. This is not really a hint, but you can mention how you like to take things slow, especially at your age.

If you're Asian, Shiseido is a good brand. Neutrogena is very good too, for anyone, I think. It works for me. Products containing salicyclic acid is good. Sorry, I don't know the specific items' names at the moment. Plus, I use the blackhead formula from Neutrogena and things from Shiseido. You can ask the people who work there what works best for your type of skin. If your acne is very bad, I heard ProActive is good.

I heard something about this. The fish-smell is a symptom but I forgot of what. Talk to your doctor, no kidding. It's an infection.

Urm, actually, replacing one addiction with another is sort of bad too. How about cold turkey bribery, like set up a reward system for yourself. Also, can your parents help? I used to drink SO MUCH all the time. My dad somehow tried to not keep soda in the house at all..

If you are on the run, grab some peanuts! This is just a suggestion, since everyone else already put down good answers.

Jump roping is SO good for you. 10 minutes of rope-skipping is said to burn as much calories as you would running a mile. You can even change it up, double skip, move the rope backwards, knee-up, etc.

Do you know about DDR?

Also, YOGA!

Cute sunglasses! I have a similar pair.
Your straight hair is perfect for side bangs! Do you mean sideswept bangs? They look good on about everybody, go for it!

Like:

would look super duper on you.

In reply to the pony tail thing, I think it looks better to have bangs hanging out instead of a forehead in case your cheeks get cold or something.

People who upload songs are in more danger but the downloader can get in trouble too. Use SoulSeek. I used to use BearShare but it was troublesome and long to load.

Bearshare downloads music to your iTunes? Are you sure? I think the mp3 files are saved onto your computer in some folder. Fiddle around and try to find which folder you designated for saving music or sharing music. If you know a song you downloaded and the exact way it was spelled when you downloaded it from another user, search for it on your computer!

I am not sure if any of these bands are on the radio because I don't really listen to it, but: Panic! for the Disco, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo, Radiohead, Coldplay, AFI, Against Me!, Architecture In Helsinki, Strokes, Vines, White Stripes, Pixies, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Interpol, Bright Eyes, System of a Down, Dandy Warhols, Hives, Oasis, (What about Classic Rock/etc?), Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Who, Guns 'n Roses, Iron Maiden, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, AC/DC, Doors, Eagles, Smiths, Nirvana.. sorry, I could go on but I guess according to the bands listed above, I think you might like Oasis, Stars, AFI, Decemberists, Elliot Smith, Ataris, Phantom Planet, Ben Kweller?, Panic! for the Disco.

How do they put pictures through e-mail? You have to upload the picture from your computer, not copy and paste.

lol I'm Asian so I have to know, unfortunately. People at my school are freaking crazy! If you think I know a lot, man, they know a whole lot more because it's really hard and competitive here where I live. I don't think I can make it. I am getting borderline C's in some classes-Math and Science. What's wrong with your math class? My teacher is pretty young and makes lots of mistakes that I don't know what to trust anymore.
Colleges look at your GPA, I think, not your individual subjects. Your school might have the listing thing where they put students from top to bottom on how high their GPA is too. So final grades per year, yeah.
Wait, if you fail you don't get the credits? We just cut class and that's how we fail or something. It's not too late to take a math course this summer, right? You can talk to your counselor and work something out-like after school tutoring which someone else mentioned.
I'm nervous too but let's look on the bright side! Not all successful people did so well in school. If you have connections... ;) or donate a buttload of money to the college of your choice or if your parents went there, that's awesome. Did you take the MyRoad.com college test thing? It's really useful.

At my school all years sort of count except for freshman year because it's the transition from middle school to high school. The most important year is junior because that's when you apply to colleges and take the SATs, AP exams, and everything. Senior year they look to see that you didn't slack off. Do you even want to pursue a math career in the future? You should make your schedule around what you want to do, of course you should always try your best but don't be down. Forming study groups with friends is major fun. My parents went to this session at school where they taught them the order of importance of college stuff. First it's the GPA and SATs and grades and the extracurriculars is sort of on the bottom of the list. They're there for you to stand out if you are applying to the same school as your other classmate and you both have good grades. It's better to apply to a college in a different state because they need a variety of different people. It's not bad grades, I don't know how your school works, but I heard getting an A in a lower course looks better than getting a B in a higher course, like your academic-level thingy. Also, you don't have to take all academics; here in my high school they call it honor classes. Aim high but if you can't handle all that you might want to drop down in that one course. You need to be able to breathe!

You can name it after yourself, followed by Junior or name them Cat and Dog which would be ironic or if you aren't into that kind of strange humor, your favorite names you'd want to name your future child!

Whoah! What kind of birds do you have, man!? My males fight each other but male and female? :( I hope everything works out-if you followed the first commenter's advice.

Happens to me too. People this age are weird. I think adults' opinion might be more trustworthy here. I mean, if you weren't pretty by their standards they would not say anything at all, but they sort of just mention it randomly, that must count for something. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? Your classmates probably cake on tons of makeup anyway and want to bring the real beauties down.

Taller people have bigger feet and it's a good thing for a guy to be tall? It means they're stable or something perhaps. (trying to say something other than other people said)

Maybe it doesn't help them because they have tried out your advice before but then they should have mentioned that in their question or add additional information. Or they do things another way.. but that still doesn't mean they should rate low. I don't know. Wait, can't people give feedback to answers?
