Q: I need make up tips I have beige skin brown hair and brown eyes.

Okay well you need a powder that goes all over your face before you put any makeup on. You just need to go to target and look for the powder that matches your skin color. Then you need like pink blush, lip gloss, black mascara, and black eyeliner. Just go to a drug store and buy it all. I suggest having your mom take you to get makeup. She'll also teach you how to put it on. I would teach you but its hard on the internet! :D Good luck!

Q: I have a problem with boys, none of them like me. If one of my friend's tells a boy I like them they pretend to gag and stuff. Well I was at a dance and there was this really hot boy and my friend asked him to dance with me and he said no so my other friend asked him and he said I have a girlfriend as an excuse to not make me feel upset. What can I do to get boys to like me?

Okay i agree with the person a few answers below me. If your so low on your appearence and how guys dont like you, start wearing some makeup. It will definatley boost your confidence up (it did for me). I'm also not saying your ugly, but it really does help. And you will find a guy that will like you for you! Guys at your age are probably really immature! If you need makeup tips just ask me:) I'l love to help you!

Q: ok well theres this kid who confessed his love for me and well i dont feel the same and so i figured its better to tell him the truth and not lead him on but he dosent seem to get the hint he follows me around hes like my fucking stolker and i dont want to be his close friend b/c i cant trust him and well i see how he is and i dont kno how to make it clearer w/out hurting him normally i wouldnt care but since i ko how it feels to love somebody and not be loved in return so help pleaze he dosnt get the freaking clue

Just tell him. Thats how he'll get the clue. I know it may be a little mean saying like 'Dude go away, I dont like you" but how esle are you going to stop it? If you say it directly to him, he'll know.

Q: I am a thirteen year old girl and I have a close male friend. We usually get on quite well and we are always talking and hugging. We used to be attracted to each other and he on/off still is to me but I don't feel that way about him. Everyone says we act like we're a couple and that we should get together but I honestly don't want to. We are very close but are we too close? I admit I hug him more than my other friends but I don't have any feelings for him. So is it wrong to be this close to him if we're not in a relationship?

its not wrong, since you clearly told him that this is just a friendship thing. So yeah, thats fine...but ake sure your not really leading him on! :)

Q: hey! okay, today i went tanning for the frist time. i went in a medium ed for 10 minutes, and used the special lotion they give you. i came home tonight, more than 6 hours later, and took a shower. just one certain spot on me is red, actually 2. it's normally where i get sunburn. could i have possibly gotten sunburn , or is it like an allergic reaction to the lotion? i don't think it's the lotion, since wouldn't i have gotten taht all over my body? just wondering if it is sunburn how can i prevent it next time and put anything on it to make it go away? thanks!

You probably got sunburn when you were outside whenever during those 6 hours. It couldent have been the tanning booth.

Q: 13/F

I'm in a relationship right now... and we're both kind of expecting our first kiss together, and, well, I need advice! I don't know what to do or anything! and it's driving me nuts!

You'll know what to do when you start kissing. Everyone says it just comes natural. Just keep cool, relax..and have fun!

Q: i like a guy who is a year older than me. He's amazingly cute and a lot of girls like him. at the beginning of this year we saw each other at these student forum meetings at school and he always came and sat by me and talked and smiled-i could tell he liked me so at the homecoming dance i asked him to dance and it was great- at school we usually just say hi and smile in a flirtacious way during passing periods-but lately we don't say anything and i don't think he likes me anymore-how do i get his attention and get him to like me again?

Just talk to him. Be like "Hey, havent talked to you in a while. How are you? What have you been up to?" Thats nice and friendly :) And when you start talking try to invite him to the movies or mall with a bunch of your friends or something. So your not really asking him out on a date, its a group date.

Q: my friend is going out with a guy. she is like my BEST FRIEND EVER, and this guy is 16 and shes 12. im worried because we both know this is an illegal relationship. what should i do?

Its not illegal but you better tell her all he wants is to sleep with her. A 16 year old who would go out with a 12,13,14 year old just wants one thing. To take advantage of her. Tell her parents if you cant talk her out of this situation.

Q: First of all, me and this guy have been best friends for 4 years and have hooked up once. When I first met him, he had a g/f but that only lasted a month, and now he is back with her and they have been together for 4 months. Then me and him are together, we get along so good and I really like him. I think he feels the same way about me too because of how he looks at me at times and how when he talks to me and gentely rest his hand on my when he talks. Its burning me up inside because of how I feel about him and he has a g/f. I wanted your advice whether I should tell him how I feel. But I'm affraid that it might ruin our friendship if I do and he will feel akwared about being around me after. What should I do, just wait and see how things go with them or tell him how I feel and may lose his friendship because of it? I dunno what I should do. I think his relationship now is going pretty good and getting serious.

Well since you said his relationship right now is pretty serious, I say wait it out. Relationships dont last forever especially when your in your teen age years. Your time will come to express your feelings about him, but for now date other people.

Q: ok, im 15/f and i think i like one of my really good guy friends. he flirts with me all the time in math or atleast it seems like he does..one of my really good friends cant believe i like him..what do i do cause i dont know if i can talk myself out of liking him like i do a lot. please help!!

If you like him, then like him. Your friend isint the person to say who you can like or not like. Just keep flirting back and maybe be like "hey my friends are going to the movies..wanna come" or something like that where theres a group date..and you can get to know eachother better and then do a date by yourselves if it works out!

Q: I haven't gotten my period since the end of January. I'm not sexually active, and haven't been for the past year and a half. However I had lost about 7-10 pounds since the last time I've gotten my period. Is there something wrong? Or do you think that I haven't gotten my period because of my weight loss and diet change? Thanks!

periods are irregular for about the first 2-3 years. A lot of people skip months. Dont worry!

Q: angelinluv6767!

oh yeah okay no problemo!

Q: will u add me as a favorite columnist?

sure as long as you add me back and tell me what your column name is :)

Q: well i guess i have been sort of seeing this guy for the past like month or so but we arent bf and gf. im 17 hes 20 if that matters...anyways he usually texts me while im in school and picks me up and we hang out every monday and we also hang out on like friday and other days too but the point is every monday i believe since i met him we have hung out well todaii he didnt call me or text me or anything so im not quite sure.. the last time we hung out was on friday and he didnt act any different and what not but im confused on why he didnt call me today maybi he wanted to see if i would call him ? so basically my question is do u think he still wants to keep hanging out and maybi he didnt call cuz hes busy and should i call i him even tho its too late to hang out today?

I think hes just busy or has something he had to do! So call him up and ask why he didnt come and was it because he was busy. I wouldent be worried!

Q: The country that I live in is debating the Death Penalty. I Do not understand the understanding that the death penalty is ok. You are killing someone still aren't you? I realize that the people scentenced are usually murderers and other things along that line. I just want to know both sides of the story. I looked it up on Google and it is not what i am looking for. I want opinions on BOTH side.

Even though this might start fights. Please accept all opinions! I believe that the death penalty is okay. There is this guy named Scott Peterson and he killed his wife and unborn child...there is also this guy in my town who raped and killed a 8 year old girl. I think about the life the 8 year old could have..she didnt do anything. And the wife who was almost a mom, she missed out on the miracle of having a baby and raising a family. You see? They took their lives away, and they need to go on death row. Besides, they dont die right away. they die after like 10 years on death row.

Q: My sister at a young age died of luekemia. I dont really uderstand where she got it from. But lately I've been finding random bruises on my boyd and i know my sister had random bruises and ashe was always tired and im always tired. Is there a possiblity that i could have it too?

Well were no doctors, but if your that concerned talk to your mom and then see if she can take you to the doctor. I hope everything turns out okay! And I'm sorry about your sister..

Q: all the food in my house has like 20g on everything!! i dont know what to eat. i went to the sites, but i need like food that wont take forever to cook. What do you normally eat? Got any ideas?

LOL. Eggs, Bacon. Lettuce wrapped in burger meat, turkey slices, bologna slices with cream chease(its really good), chicken meat dipped with ketchup or ranch, basically all meats but wrapped with lettuce not bread. Ask your mom if you can go low carb shopping for meat, lettuce, vegtables, etc. Dont get low carb bread until after 2 weeks okaY? Search google for low carb recipies.

Q: hey. i asked you about how to loose weight before, and you said to email you and you'll tell me everything, whats your email???!!!???

Q: There's this kid, Sam* and he was dumped by my best friend, Katie* in February.. Sam is the nicest kid you will ever meet..and Katie I think is just boy crazy. Well anyway, Sam and Katie went out for over 2 years on and off. Sam lives about 2 hours away though. Well this real jerk starting going out with Katie and she doesnt like him and is actually kind of attached to Sam still..but Katie wants him to dump her, because she doesnt have the heart to dump him..so my job is to try to make him break up with her..and its all confusing..but any suggestions?

Sorry Its long

Ahhh. Dont do her dirty work for her. What are you gonna say? "Hey i like you break up with Katie". Just be like "Look, your a great friend and i love you. Its just that you should be able to break up with him, hes your boyfriend!".

Q: I have this friend,(E) and every time I turn around, I hear that she was trash talking me!! Well me and my two other friends, (L) and (H), and they keep telling me she was talking trash about me! I have known (E) since 4th grade, and she is my friend so why does everyone tell me she trash talks me?? Who should I believe? I rate high!!!!!

Well, why dont you just ask E? be like I'm hearing from people(dont say names) that your trash talking about me..and I wanted to know if it was true. Thats all you could do, she'll give you an honest answer or not..but how would you know? If she says no just let it go. If shes REALLY talking crap you'll figure it out yourself.
