Hi, my names Melanie.
I'm fifteen years old.
I love fashion, hanging out with my friends,
and drawing and writing along with a bunch of other stuff.
I used to have an old account here that was quite known for awhile,
but I sort of just lost touch with it,
so I decided to make a new one.
I'll try and help you the best I can,
just hopefully I didn't lose touch with my good advice, haha.
And feel free to IM me with your problem too.
I also put my myspace in a link down below,
if you ever want to add me & talk.
But incase you don't see it or something, it's:

ohk, i work at Taco Bell and i admit that i work with alot of HOT guys. but the only guy i really care about is David. he is always so nice to me and is really cute. i want to be able to hang out with him outside of work but i don't know how to like ask him. any ideas on how i might do that? please help me.

Start talking to him more and more, just casually and joking around like you usually do and everything, and maybe even ask him you guys want to take a lunch break or whatever together. Then just bring up a movie that's coming out or something that's happening soon, and just be like,"Hey! You should come see it/go to it with me, it'd be alot of fun." If you guys feel really uncomfortable with hanging together one-on-one, invite some buddies along. Having a back up bud always makes things alot more comfortable and fun. I hope I helped.


all my friends are ragging me that i don't wear any thongs i was wondering why people wear them anyways since they so uncomfortable and what should i do about my friends
(link)
Alot of girls think thongs are sexy and cute, and teh boys tend to agree, haha. I don't know either why everyone wants to wear them. What I wear are those cute little shorts. Guys think they're just as "sexy" and I think they're comfy and adorable. Just tell your friends you're not comfortable with wearing them. They shouldn't be ragging on you ; it's a thong for god sakes. Nobody can even see them unless you drop your shorts. But anyways, if you want to, tell a little fib. It might help get them off your back more. Just be like,"I've tried them before ; they're too uncomfortable, I don't like them. Sorry for not wanting a little string all the way up my butt." So even if you've never tried them on before at least they think you would've. But like I said, they're ragging about underwear? I think there are more important things, and I don't think they should care so much with what is being worn under their friends pants. I hope I helped.


hey just to give a lil bit of backround info,i'm a girl 14 in the 9th grade... i've know the boy i like since kindergaten. Me and him are really tight and what not. We both like each other and have gone out before, on and off for about 2 grades straight. But now i have nothing to talk about with him on the phone it's always either silence or something really dumb happening. Can someone please give me some idea of what i should do. Thankx a bunch!!! (link)
Just make a list of some of the things you want to start out the conversation with like, what happened to him in school today, how was school, tell him about your day, did you hear what happened between ___ and ____?! and so on, and soon, the conversation should just go along and off into whatever you guys want to talk about.

Also, just think of him like you'd be talking to a friend, and just tell him stuff you would to your other friends. ( not like, GIRLY stuff, though. you know what i mean )

I hope I helped.


i mean i know he likes me but why won't he ask me to the dance.

It's sooo obviouse that he likes me but he won't ask me out.

why won't he?

help please! (link)
He's probably just real shy about asking you or embarassed. I know I'd feel the same way if I liked someone - I don't think I'd have the guts to talk to them, haha.

So just hint it to him, or just flat out ask him ( sometimes guys don't pick up on hints too well ). Just be like,"Hey! The dance is coming up, got anybody to go with? We should go, it'd be alot of fun!" And then later during the dance just flirt, laugh, have a good time and maybe even let him know how you feel about him.

I hope I helped.


Ok, I used to live in Maine and have this boyfriend. Cuz my dads in navy I moved all the way to Hawaii. I really love this guy and want to be with him forever. But i dunno if he feels the same way. When ever i try to talk to him hes always doing something else. And i tried to have a friend talk to him but nothing works. And when he does talk hes like "how are we gonna make it work" and stuff. I'm going to visit in december.
but i dunno if he wants to be with me.

whats a good way to ask him with out really coming straight forward and be like "do you wanna still be with me" (link)
If he's asking you "how are we gonna make it work", it sounds to me like he has doubts about you two being able to stay together. If he really liked you and wanted to be with you, he'd at least try to be a little more positive about everything and at least find some time to talk to you. I would wait until December whenever you visit him to talk about him and if he still wants to be with you, because after spending time with you, he might change his mind and realize how much he really DOES want to make it work. I would just hang out with him while you're there, and then late at night whenever you guys are just sitting around talking, let him know how you feel. It's better to talk to him about it face to face. Just be like,"I've had a blast being here with you, and I know now how much I want to make this work. Do you still want it to, though? Cause before I visited, I'm sorry, but sometimes I got the feeling you didn't think we could last, or that you didn't want us to. I don't want to fight, I just want to know." [ or something like that ].

I hope I helped, and I hope everything works out.


I am 13/f about to be 14 in October, and I am a 32A. My mom is only a 34B, is it possible I could get a C cup?

What age do breasts stop growing, approximately? (link)
It is possible, you never know.

People's bodies stop developing and growing when they're around the age of 18, so you got a good while to go.

I hope I helped.


iam a 17 year old female and I just had a baby and jessica's about 2 months old now and it's becoming hard,I live with my parents and my boyfriend broke up with me when i told him i was pregnant so iam a single mother and even though my parents are still letting me live with them they say i have to get a job and raise jessica without any of their help they won't look after her while iam at school so i have to pay for daycare while iam at school and now iam looking for a parttime job also and it's getting hard to pay the babysitter to watch her i love jessica with all my heart and i am going to stay in school so quiting school is not an option for me becouse i want to be able to go to collage to be able to take care of my baby girl properly and make sure she's healthy.I quit cheerleading and I hardly ever go anywhere so I can take care of my child what should i do please help me. (link)
First of all, I just want to say I'm really glad you want to stay in school and take care of your child properly. Most teenage mothers just drop out and life gets even harder later.

I will give you some advice with what someone I know did to take care of her child.

She didn't attend Highschool, but she did go to computer school and got her Highschool degree there. And now she has plans to attend a community college. So that'd give you more time at home with your daughter to watch her, and still have time to get a degree in school and continue onto college.

You might want to try sitting home one night and plan out a schedule so you're a little more organized, and a little less stressed. Maybe put your daughter to bed around 10:00ish, and then have friends and people come over to hang out for awhile or go out somewhere so you can socialize and have a good time cause you still are a teenager.

Maybe for now do you know any of your friends who'd be willing to watch her for free or at least for a little less cheaper than what a babysitter might normally offer? Or maybe your friends have a little sister, or ask your parents if they know somebody, maybe even with a kid so your kid and theirs can have a little play date or something.

And once your child starts to get older and you're attending college it'll get easier cause you'll be able to take evening classes or night classes randomly throughout the day so you'll have more time to come home and spend time and take care of your daughter for awhile and work.

Best of luck you, and I hope everything goes well.


okay i always get confused what is friends with benefits? everyone is always like i rather just be friends with benefits with him. im like oh but i have no idea what she's talking about. please help

-aberfitchyy- (link)
Friends with benefits is whenever you don't want to date a person, you just want to remain friends, but you still hook up with eachother. They're basically a "hook up buddy". See? Friends meaning, obviously friends, and benefits being the kissing, hooking up, whatever it is that they do. If you're considering [ or ever considering ] being friends with benefits with somebody, I would highly suggest not to. If one of you two gets a boyfriend/girlfriend or something, it'd probably wind up extremely awkward and things can go wrong and one might wind up liking the other while the other doesn't. It's just all complicated and confusing. [ I wouldn't know from experience, but some of my friends do ]. I hope I helped.


KK so...I ahd lots of crushes.....and 2day in school i was feeling sad.....because no boy has ever liked me.......and I dont know whats wrong....I dont think I did anything wrong and I think Im prety and have a good style!!!!!!!!





WHATS WRONG????????????? (link)
There's nothing wrong with you. It just depends on the guy and the type of girl the guy's interested in. Even though you may be pretty and have good style in clothes, that's not what it's all about. When you like somebody, you're supposed to like them for their personality and if they have things in common with you. I'm not saying your personality isn't good, though. It just might not mesh well with other guys. And do you know how many girls are in that school? There's so many different types, some just might fit well with the other guys personalities. You also need to think of the vibe you may be giving out to people if it's a good one or bad one. It might come off to guys as you don't want to be approached or anything. So just smile at people more, and talk to guys more and crack jokes, be nice, be you. And just listen to them and conversate with them, and hgopefully you'll find a guys whose personality is matched with yours. I hope I helped.


ok! im going to my high school football game this week and people get really into it. like make shirts and paint they're faces. i wanna do something fun like that, but not paint my face. any suggestions on like hair ideas (ribbons, glitter, makeup, clothes, etc.) thanks sooo much.
my school colors are blue and gold.

thanks a bunch.
and im a girl (link)
You could always buy a blue bow or gold bow or blue/gold ribbons and tie them into your hair and put it up into a ponytail. What I do sometimes is not paint my whole face, but I just take eyeliner or something and put our school initals on my cheek [ my school colors are red and white so i just use lipstick ]. Clothes, just wear your school colors. Like, if you have one or want to get one, they have those gold stretchy belts with the sequins on them and you could wear a blue shirt and maybe some gold earrings. What some people also do is buy a pom pom and just stick it in their back pocket or front pocket. Some even put them up in their pony tail. And you could always put glitter on your eyes and in your hair. I hope I helped.


So theres this guy I really like named Adrian.
Hes wicked funny and nice.
We talk all the time and share some of the same intrest.
But anyway..
yesterday he told me that we could only be friends and we will never be more.
That I shouldn't like him anyway cause
I need someone who is nice,happy, and cool.
But even though he says he doesnt like me
he still acts like he does.
Like in Chorus he looks over at me all the time
&& he flirts with me and ughh
I dont know what to think,
im so confuseedd.
HELP PLEASE!
Thanksss :] (link)
Well there's two ways to think of this.

He either likes you, but he's just pretending to not because he doesn't know how you feel about him, and he's embarassed about it.

OR.

He's just being a guy. Alot of guys just think they're being friendly with girls when to girls it comes off as they're flirting, they like them, etc. Yeah, it is really confusing isn't it?

But, I really do think he just wants to remain friends with you, because I don't think any guy that liked a girl would be flat out "we're never going to be together like that."

I hope I helped.


for some reason i only want to be friends with good llokin guys or good lookin girls...issues such as bad teeth or weight problems or just..bad genes make me not want to be friends with those people...is that wrong? (link)
It's a both yes and no type of answer.

No, because you're a teenager I assume and alot of teenagers are obsesssed and into people's looks, hair, what they're wearing, etc. So if people don't look good, alot of people aren't going to want to associate and talk with them.

But yes, it is wrong because you're just judging people by what they look like. "Inner beauty", ever heard of it? I'm not trying to sound harsh but there are some really cool nice people out there and they may not look the best, but they're personality is.

I would at least try making some friends with the "bad genes" because they can be cool to talk to, and some people who ARE good looking and they know it, usually tend to be shallow jerks.

I hope I helped.


If you are trying to conceive, do you still wear condoms? Thanks. (link)
Condoms, birth control, any types of those things all PREVENT pregnancies. So if you want to concieve, then don't wear anything. I hope I helped.


So...a guy asked the girl i liked to homecoming, but they're not currently dating...is it wrong to ask her out and start dating her before homecoming? or do i need to wait until after homecoming to ask her out? (link)
I would wait until after because if you just ask her now, I'm sure you wouldn't like the fact your girlfriend's going to the homecoming with some guy. Just whenenver homecoming happens, talk to her, flirt a little, show her you're a cool guy, and listen to her. Maybe even have a few slow/fast dances with her. [ slows better cause it's more "romantic" and it's better to talk to people ] Then just a day after or a few after whichever you prefer, just let her know you had alot of fun with her at the dance and you think she's really great, and you were wondering if she'd go out with you. I hope I helped.


I met a girl at a party this weekend and ever since, we've talked for hours every day. I know she really likes me, and I'm starting to feel the same about her. She seems like she's the kind of person who dates for fun, though..and doesn't take it seriously. I'm all about having fun, but that's not all dating is, and I'm afraid she might think it is. I'm afraid she'll drop me quickly because she seems like she gets bored easily.

Any advice? Thx.
16/m (link)
I say give it a shot. You never know what's going to happen she might like you more than you think. She might like you enough to start becoming more serious whenever it comes to relationships. So just talk to her about it and take a shot, but take it slow. If you start to realize in the beginning of the relationship she's getting easily bored and whatnot, you can always end it and you won't be so emotionally attached since it's just starting out. And you'd at least know then she's not girl-friend material and the one for you. I hope I helped.


to start off i am 15/female.. but okay, so i have liked this one kid for like.. at least 2 years now and he knows.. so anyways i will probably ALWAYS like him but that has really nothing to do with what im asking.. but anyways, almost a year ago i met this other kid and im pretty good friends with him now, but him & one of my friends have been going out now for almost 9 months.. and since ive spent a lot of time with him & what not im starting to like him more and more.. but its only SOMETIMES that i feel like i like him.. i feel wierd just typing this, but when im around him he just always makes me laugh & im not sure if i just love him company or if i actually like him.. i dont know what to do.. ahh its wierd.
(link)
Well first of all, just think about yourself and him being together as a couple. Can you picture it? Does it make you happy and not weird you out? If so, it seems to me you like him. But just remember, it's probably just one of the thousand teenage crushes you're going to get. Is he really worth losing a friend over who'll always be there for you, when even if you two dated you could possibly break up and it all be kaput? That sometimes happens with me too. You can never understand if you're just enjoying their company, or if it's more. But like I said, imagine yourself being with him like, boyfriend and girlfriend and kissing, etc. and see if you're weirded out by it or anything. I hope I helped.


so at school i am very shy with my boyfriend but i will kind of talk to him, but as soon as i try to talk to him on thee phone i cant so i just never pick up his calls. i feel absolutely horrible but how do i make myself more confident for being able to talk on the phone? thank you! (link)
Just explain to him whenever you guys are on the phone you're not that great at making conversation over the phone. And just make a joke of it. Be like,"Hhaha, I feel I need to warn you. I'm not the best talker over the phone, so if it gets quiet, I'm sorry." But just talk to him like you would talk to him in school or just think of you talking to one of your friends and talk to him about anything you can think of. I hope I helped.


I'm giving a speech tomorrow, and it's about "my basketball court" now ive wriiten everything im going to say - EXCEPT the introuction!
which, according to my teacher, is super important!

With that said, here comes my question..
I don't want to say "hey my name is.. and im going to talk about my basketball court" i want a fun way of introducing my speech!
something about the actual game, BASKETBALL, or the basketball court..

I know this is a total challenge for you,
but you said you liked writing..so thats why im asking.

So thank you - you are truly amazing if you help me with this.
I've been brainstorming but it's not coming to me!


thank you so much :)
for any ideas AT ALL about introducing my speech. (link)
Hm. Well, alot of speeches like to be started off with a rhetorical question which you "ask the audience". So, you could start off,"Have you ever felt the energy and feeling when you make a basket? Well, I want to talk to you guys about my basketball court." Or, you could just begin with the feelings you feel and what it's like to play on one. You could be like "Dribbled to the left, faked a move to the right, shoots, and scooooore! Everyone cheers, and you're filled with a indescribable feeling. This is what it's like to play on a basketball court." Have some fun with it. Make it sound like you're actually playing the game and making a basket and it'll let the audience imagine themselves playing. Or if you ask them the question [ like in the first example ] it'll leave them thinking about times they've played basketball or what it's like to play basketball.

If you want to talk about it more, you can always message me again or IM me or message me on myspace, whatever you want. :)

I hope I helped!


13/f
I was at a sleepover about 2 years ago (I know.. a long time ago) and we were playing truth or dare at night. Well somebody dared me to shave my THIGHS!!!! and I had no chickens left. (chickens are the 'no thanks, I pass' thing in truth or dare) So I took my friends razor and shaved everywhere on my thighs. Well about a few weeks after I found some hairs on my thighs. I know it's normal for a girl to shave her legs, but what about the thighs??? is that normal?? and what should I do?? I have gym class in school next quarter and we're wearing shorts, I really dont want people to be disgusted about my hairy thighs. So what should I do? Continue to shave it? Please dont say wax them because I REALLY dont want to do that. Please and Thank you!!! (link)
Yeah you can just shave your thighs along with your legs. I just think about how short my shorts are and everything and just shave around there so no hairs showing. Like the advicenator said below, you could also just use Nair, but make sure you really want to use that first, because certain people react to it differently. My one friend got red bumps all along her legs, my other friend said it burned, some it felt fine. So, for now, I suggest just shaving your thighs while you're shaving your legs. I hope I helped.


How do I go about asking my bf if he is bisexual? I've seen a lot of signs that he could be and I am curious to know. It wouldn't change anything between us and I think it could strengthen our relationship especially since I am bisexual. He was picked on A LOT when he was younger for being gay (which he definitely isn't). I really don't want to hurt his feelings. If I ask him if he is bisexual he'll probably get really worked up and defensive. He's a very emotionally run person. When I ask him questions he's embarassed about he avoids them for as long as possible. When he finally answers he goes ballistic. I don't want him to feel like I'm accusing him of anything or that I believe that he is bisexual. I really have no idea if he is or not. I am going to have to ask at some point if he doesn't tell me and I want it to go as smoothly as possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

20/f, 21/m (link)
Well, first of all you have to think while you're curious as to if he's bisexual or not, he might be wondering the same thing. So maybe wait awhile and see what happens. If he wants to tell you, he'll tell you. He might not feel comfortable sharing it with everyone. Maybe if you let him know you're bisexual first, he might then be comfortable sharing it with you because he knows you're the same. Yeah, I don't think just asking him would be the best way to go about it, cause you're right, he might get embarassed and he'd get very upset, probably. Just the next time you talk to him, be like,"Well, we're getting to that certain point in our relationship where we should probably tell eachother stuff, and I trust you enough to let you know that I'm bisexual. Is there anything you have to let me know?" [ or something similiar to that ] And if he says anything, great. But if not, he just might never be comfortable with letting you know, or I'd take the hint that he might not be bisexual at all. I hope I helped.
