Q: ive tried every kind of eyeliner out there but ti always runs off and like goes away. ive tried the waterproof 16 hour one and they all go away what works?

MAC eyeliner works the best, but its pretty expensive. www.maccosmetics.com. If you want a cheap yet works-very-good eyeliner I say go for Wet N' Wild. Eyeliner is never going to stay on all the time, so you might have to re-apply when needed!

~lexy~

No, its normal. Dont worry, you dont have anything.

Q: Does anyone know if it's possible it increase the size of your breasts without gaining weight? I know that if you gain weight your breasts will grow larger (considering it's all fat tissue anyway). But I'd like to increase the size of my breasts without gaining weight. Is this possible? Thanks, I rate.

Well, just because you gain weight doesnt mean it will go straight to your boobs. It might go to your stomach, legs, whatever...There are no ways you can increase your breast size...but dont worry! Your probably young and have years and years for your boobs to grow. And if this is because you feel guys wont be attracted to you with small boobs, your wrong. Guys who go out/dont go out with a girl because of their breat size, are too immature to be dating anyway..

Q: ok, well my two friends ALWAYS fight. and this time it's about depression aka attention. anyways, my friend (we'll call mandy) had depression all this year because of guys. every single one that she liked, didn't like her, but my other friend (call her taryn). taryn has always been pretty popular,and now has a very popular boyfriend. anyhow, back to the real story. when mandy told us that she had depression, i was the only one that comforted her. a girl (call her sam) was mandy's best friend since like 4th grade. and sam didn't even say anything positive when mandy told her about her depression. and now, like a week ago, taryn told everyone that SHE was depressed. and when she told everyone, sam was like all over her asking if she was ok and stuff.so, sam made it seem like she only cared about taryn, and not mandy whom she was friends with much longer. this is confusing, but important. they are fighting and both of them are asking ME what THEY should do, and I don't even know what I should do. plz, anything constructive will help! i rate 5's!
~mandy

Seems like Sam is just caring about Taryn...maybe because Sam wants to be popular too? So I think Mandy should talk to Sam about it, and ask why she didnt even care about the whole depression thing. One thing that works is you could all sit together, and everyone can say how they feel (without being interrupted) and when everyone has a turn, you could all talk about it and hopefully resolve things. One thing you cant do is yell/scream/fight...that just makes matters worse. If you ALL want to make things better, you have to be willing to listen to eachother and respect eachothers feelings.

Q: ok so i like this guy, and hes an older guy (hes a junior, and im 15). he flirted with me alot, and at first i didnt like him all that much, but then i discovered that i did like him. ow i like him A LOT! when he was flirting wit me, we were hanging out at luch, but now, he doesnt hang out with me anymore, so i neva see him. how can i get him to notice me without seeming obnoxious? thanx

Next time you see him be like "Heyy! Havent seen you in a while, how are you? What have you been up to?" You can start a convo like that [you wont seem obnoxious] and then you can ask him to hang with you and your friends or something! Good luck:)

Q: okay..well i had this friend and we were best friends for awhile..then we kinda started drifting apart and i started saying stuff about her..she found out and wasnt my friend for awhile but then she apologized to me (i dont know why) and we became friends again. for the next few months we were friends and we werent as close as we used to be..she is so dramatic sometimes for a number of reasons and the other day my friend told her off and said that i hated her also because i told her how i hated her when i was mad at her one time...then she IMed my friend and asked why i hate her and i said becuz she always starts drama and everything and like all this stuff so now i think she hates me..the other day i was looking at my old journal and all the stuff me and her used to do together and i kinda miss her .. i feel bad that we're not friends and also its kinda weird cuz one of my friends is friends with her and we're all going to the movies tomorrow night and it will be very weird..and im kinda thinkin of saying sorry to her but im afraid this one girl will hate me if she finds out we're friends again..and im not even sure she will forgive me if i say sorry to her and try to make-up...and im afraid that my other friend will be mad if i make up with her and like get everyone to hate me or something...well anyway that was probably very confusing to read but can u help me ? xo

Okay, if your other friend gets mad at you for making up with her...then she is not a true friend anyway. If she gets everybody to go against you, then that just shows you shouldent be hanging out with her! I think you should say sorry to the other girl and say how you miss the good times, and that you should start your relationship from scratch. And forget about the rough times! I'm pretty sure she'll forgive you, you guys were best friends! Good luck:) And if you need any more help, just ask!!

Q: I was wondering... does saute always mean cook in oil? or can it be like something else? could you saute something in like lemon juice? (that would be gross) but i wanna try to invent something food-wise...

Yeah you saute it with a sauce or something to give it a little extra taste!

Q: does any know where to buy movie tickets online for hoyts cinema? in connecticut, brass mill mall..i looked. but nothing cae up. maybe someone knows a good site......?

www.fandango.com/

Q: does anyone know if you can make a website for free but not like the blogdrive thing

I totally suggest freewebs.com. You can have up to 7 free pages, a guestbook, upload images, all this crazy stuff..and its awesome!

Q: I need help with my hair. I just got it cut with an Ashlee Simpson style and I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it (straight) and also I want to do the bang thing she does. Where she pulls them up and it looks like a big bump on her head. (I know it sounds crazy but I have a pic if u dont know what i'm talkin about.

Okay for your big bump thing. Put your hair up like high up and take the front part of your hair and brush it with a comb and make it poofy(it takes a while to get it perfect) and put hair spray and lots of it..and yay you have ashlee simpson hair!!

Q: 14/m
i like 2 girls right now, GIRL-A goes to my school and lives REALLY close, but GIRL-B goes to a dif school but still lives kind of close to me. im good friends with GIRL-A but i dont think i have a chance with her(atleast not right now cuz she just broke up with her bf and she still likes him). i know GIRL-B likes me and shes perfect for me but we barely ever see each other(atleast not now). do you think that a relationship w/ GIRL-B would work out or should i just wait a while and see what happens?
-thanks

try girl B. If you like her and vice versa, you'll make the time to see eachother! Because it will be important to both of you, because your going out!

Q: Hey guys and gals, i was wondering if someone would be considered anorexic if they only ate once a day, or even nothing all day and maybe once the next?
Thanks

Its not exactly anoerexia, but its very very close to it(and still deadly). !

Q: i have a very high self esteem like i feel really good about the way i look because i know no1s perfect but sometimes i get really hurt when this guy at my school lets call him james makes fun of my ears because they stick out a little i know i shouldnt let him bother me bcuz im proud of who i am but he makes me feel so ugly because he can say some really mean stuff and im not the kind of person who will defend myself because im a very quiet girl because of my family backrounds can anyone tell me what to do about this situation

I am exactly like you. I think you need to defend yourself, nothing will happen by not saying anything. You'll only feel bad about yourself, next time he says something...tell him to shut the F up or whatever. You'll feel 10 times as better. I'm in the same boat as you, if you wanna talk leave one in my inbox! Good luck:)

Q: My BEST friend of 7 years is turning o sweet 16 on march 26. My friends and I are already planning on kidnapping her and taking her to ihop in the morning. But as her Best friend i want to get her something really good! Any suggestions?

A scrap book of all your memories. I'm sure after 7 years you'll have tons of pictures. make a scrap book and put like little sayings, insiders, stuff like that! I know it might be a small thing but its really big to reflect on your friendship and all!

Q: okay, i have love handles. i know what they are, but are they good or bad and what are they for?

Their just fat, and if their big then people want to get rid of them. But its sorta hard...its not bad at all just some people are obsessed with being skinny

Q: ok there is this guy name josh and we went out over the summer then broke up a day before school started. I still like him. we havent tlaked in a while but the other day we did a little bit. Last week my friend asked him would he ever go back out with me, and he just smiled. but he has a girlfriend. Also, alst week someone asked him would he ever go out wth this girl name brooke nad he said nnooo .. but he didnt say yes or no when someone asked about me. Then wed. at church, he sat near me but not right next to me .. it went me, his friend murphy(murphy likes me) and then josh and we talked in a group for a little bit. Do you think he still likes me? what should i do? 14/f

I think he still likes you. I say tell him how you feel...so he can think about his girlfriend and figure out what to do. If he stills likes you and wants to go out with you, then he'll leave his girlfriend...i think you have a chance so go for it! Nothing bad will come out of telling him you like him! Take a chance, dont be afraid!

Q: i want to loose weight. i am 5 feet 4inches and i weigh 138 pounds. The most things i want to loose is the pouch under my belly button and my legs. Do you know anything that i can do? and i want to loose as much weight as i can before the summer.

Cool stuff. I suggest doing the low carb diet, you lose belly weight first. Ever heard of atkins/south beach? Thats what you will be doing. What you dont eat bread, rice, pasta potatoes, all junk food,jucies, anything high in sugar, fruit(until 2 weeks). What you do eat: Meat (and lots of it) and high protien, high fiber, LOW CARB(low carb would be 1-5 grams per serving). You lose 8-13 lbs in the first two weeks, and 1-2 lbs a week after that. Without exercising! Most people think they cant just give up all the sugars but lots of people have. So if your intrested, email me and I'll give you the whole story on it!

Q: Ok well it all started when me and my friend ( chelsea ) was sitting at lunch and matchng people up with good couples she matched me up with this new boy michael in 8th grade ( im in 7th ) i didnt know who he was and when i did find out who he was I LIKED HIM .. ALOT .... and i found out he had a girlfriend in 6 grade but she was cheating on him so I told my friend to ask him out for me and to tell him his girlfriend was cheating on him ... he told my friend he didnt know who I was and he would ask his girlfriend about the cheating thing... so then after that, the next week or so ... my friends dared me to say hi to him and i was really scared but i managed to choke out a fast hay and then the next day ( today ) i got caught throwing food and i went to turn in my tray and he said haha you got caught throwing food and he just smiled and laughed ( i didnt care that he laughed @ me i was just happy he talked to me )then i told my friend to ask him out for me and she said he said he didnt know who I was ( but he really does because i wrote him a note and all saying I like him and blah blah blah ) ... and then today after school my friend said she talked to him and he said im OK looking ... but honestly i dont think he knows who I am because before that he said is she that short fat girl and my friend was all like no she is tall and skinny so he said Ohhh she is ok .... so does he like me r not my friend said he was flirting wid me when he said that thing about me getting caught throwing food signed ~!~ confused ~!~

Okay the ONLY way to know 100% sure if he likes you, is to ASK HIM! You got up the courage to talk to him once, you can do it again! Just ask him out..like "Hey my friends and I are going to the movies, wanna come?" If he does home, you'll all get to know eachother and hopefully you like him and he likes you back. Then sooner or later, he'll ask you out!

Q: i just got a record deal. But they want me to do all these things I dont want to do. How do i tell them i want to do some things my way without getting fired?

Just say "I appreiciate you doing this for me, and the ideas are great. But I dont feel comfortable doing them, can we maybe think of something else to do that we both agree on?" Say it nicley and I'm sure they'll be nice back

Q: i think I'm pregnant... my preganancy test came out negative but i have the symptoms. Im 15, and i dont know who the dad is. And i dont want a baby... what can i do?

no rude bitches....

I say wait another few weeks (1 or 2) and try again! Thats all you can do for now! Well, you could try and think of all the possible fathers and call em up!
