Hi, my names Melanie.

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 just started liking this boy 2 day and i think he likes me 2 he kept touching me and he asked me did i think he was cute i said yeah. can you give me more flirting tips but not intense flirting just 2 get the message across that i like him 2. (link)
Just give him compliments and give him hugs and just pay attention to him and listen to what he has to say and everything, and make good conversation to show you can relate and everything so you guys have stuff in common! Also, of course, flirt! And just sit close to him, and maybe even link arms. :) Also, to DEFINETELY let him know you like him, you could even tell him, haha. I hope I helped.


what does it mean to subscribe to someone on xanga? (link)
Its kind of like whenever you subcrise to newsletters, magazines, etc. Like I'm subscribed to my one friends xanga, and whenever they write a new entry or anything, I'll recieve an email letting me know so I can go look at it. I hope I helped.


hi, ok i live in britain, and was just wandering if the USA is really like what we see on tv shows or movies. the whole nice weather, youthful fun thing? like the OC and stuff like grease etc. because here in the UK there is virtually minimal youthful fun or whatever you want to call it. thanks in advance. (link)
Well, I guess you could say there's youthful fun. I mean we go out with our friends, hang out at places, shop, go to parties. And believe me, the weathers not ALWAYS nice, but they aren't going to play like, hail and mudslides on a tv show. But the weather out in California is nice some of the time and real pretty out there so when you do see Laguna Beach and everything, that pretty much is what it looks like on a good day. But not all of USA is like that. Like where I live, Pennsylvania, all the way on the other side of the country from Cali, I get snow, cold weather, storms, but then sometimes it's really sunny and pretty out.


hi, well why does the musical grease still appeal to a teen audience today, after 30 years of it being made. thanks. (link)
Well, alot of teenagers like to watch musicals and such, and Grease is a classic and while most plays and musicals are just about other things and older people, this is just about kids our age having a good time and partying and stuff. I think it's a funny cool movie and the song's are so catchy. That's also like asking, why does everyone love Willy Wonka so much after it being made like, in the 70s? It's just a great movie. If you haven't watched it, check it out. I hope I helped.


My friend and I have been planning to go to the movies with our boyfriends this friday since last week. I started my period today and it made me a little dissapointed.. is there ANY way I can make sure it's done by Friday?

Thanks (link)
There's really no way you can stop your period a day before or anything. You'll just have to hope for it to. But if you guys are just going to the movies, just use a pad or tampon whatever you use, and I'm sure you'll be fine. I hope I helped.


I am in love with this guy. And he feels the same toward me. However, he is better than me in every way. He's smarter, better-looking, and so on. This makes me feel inferior and insecure. I feel I'm not worthy of his love. I feel extremely small when I'm with him. I wish I could be as intelligent as him in order to be more worthy of his love. I hate myself. I hate my shortcomings. My biggest fear is that he would abandon me because of the fact I'm not as great as him. As a genius, he has every reason to despise me. He outshines me in every area. Whenever I detect a tiny sign that he might ignore/hate me, I feel like dying. Because of these, I'm not myself when I'm with this guy. I care TOO much about how he thinks of me. I appear very nervous, hypersensitive, and stupid. And this makes things worse. I am over-conscious about every word I say to him. I fear something I say would sound silly according to him and that he would despise me. I feel I'm just a silly little girl in his eyes. I know in fact he loves me. But I can never enjoy his love because of my feeling of inadequacy. I feel I need to be a much, much better person to deserve his love. I always try to be smarter so as to be "equal" to him, yet only end up making a fool of myself. This drives me crazy. What can I do now? (link)
You don't have to be equal to him, cause if you were, it wouldn't make you special. It wouldn't create different opinions and thoughts which might be what he loves about you. He might want a girl whose just laid-back and everything, everything you already are. You need to stop worrying about deserving his love, because you already have it. And if he loves you like you know he does, he's not going to abandon you for any reason. If he thought you were "inadequate" to him he wouldn't have gotten together with you in the first place. Just talk to him about it and express your feelings to him. I think you need to hear it from him instead of a stranger like me. Realize how much he cares for you and loves you and that to him you're great. Whenever you find yourself thinking those thoughts, just push them out of your mind as much as you can. Let go, and have awseome times with him and enjoy him and his company and just remember that he does infact love you. And you are in one way equal to him - you're both equally in love with eachother. Haha, sorry, I probably sound sappy, don't I? But, I hope I helped.


OK so im a 14 (almost 15) year old girl and this is gonna sound pathetic but i've never had a boyfriend i mean i really really want one! im pretty good looking to .. not goreous, but nice looking and i have a good body and everything so idk my problem. I have a few guy friends but not that many. I really want to get a lot of guy friends, and a boyfriend ... i have no idea how to approach this how do i get a guy or even a guy friend. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on getting a boyfriend thanks so much
-NEED A BF- (link)
Haha, I am in the same exact boat, so hopefully this advice'll work for the both of us. I've never really had a boyfriend either [ unless a week counts, ha ]. You just need to get yourself out there and sort of walk over to people and start a conversation with them. I know you may think it's weird of you just walking over and talking, but after awhile the conversation'll hopefully improve and you might've just made a new friend. Also, talk to your friends whenever they're around their guy friends and have them introduce them to you, and start talking to them alot and focusing and listening to what they have to say and then the next time you see them in the hall, just say "hey whats up" or something and continue the conversation and maybe even ask for their screename so you can talk to them online too. As for a boyfriend, hopefully the more guy friends you make, one'll realize how awseome you are and get feelings for you. Or, you could also meet your guy friends friends and make more guy friends [ haha does that make sense? ] who could also possibly develop feelings for you. I know you want one, but you just got to wait. Who knows? The guy who comes along might be a really amazing guy and he'd be so worth the wait instead of just dating like 10 dumb guys who lasted like, a week. I hope I helped.


hi i am a 13 year old girl and i have a boyfriend and we have been together about 6 months now but theres this other boy who goes to his school who is asking me out and we are friends and i dont want to go out with him because im in love with the boy im with now and i dont want to break any hearts. what shall i do or say to them? (link)
Well, there's no real way to say it to him without hurting him just a little. Just explain to him that he's an awseome person and everything, but you can only seem him as a friend, really. And you have a boyfriend anyways who you really like alot. Hopefully, he'll take it good and you guys can continue being real good friends. I hope I helped.


There're twelve days 'til homecoming & I need a reasonably priced dress. Where's a good place to buy one? (link)
There's Sears, JC Pennys, Macys, Lazarus, and one of your good department stores. Even check out some stores that are a little nicer, cause since falls starting, they might have a big sale going on. Even check out Good Will or somewhere, that's where some girls get rid of last year's dresses whenever they don't want them anymore. So, their "trash" is your treasure. :D I hope I helped.


..okay I'm 5'5 and 109 pounds.. I think I'm fat.. and I feel guilty after everything I eat.. I was wondering..does anyone know how to lose weight? In the stomach area.. or to get rid of that little pudge? (link)
You're not fat at all, you're actually underweight. You're just being self-concious, but if you really want to slim your stomach area, then just eat a little healthier and start exercising more and do crunches. Now, don't get discouraged if you do a bunch and after one day, nothing slims down or anything. It takes about a week to lose 2-3lbs if you work out good. But please, don't get too self-concious about it, because that's when some girls may have it start to turn into an anorexic/bulemic problem and we both know that's nowhere near healthy. I hope I helped.


there is a guy at school who i really like please help me find a way to attract him...I AM DESPERATE FOR HELP!!!!!!!!! (link)
Well, if you want him to like you, you just have to be yourself. You don't want a guy liking you for a certain way you acted or whatever you were pretending to like or be just to get him to like you. Then he'll never be liking YOU ; he'll just be liking whoever you created. The most I can say is just talk to him alot and flirt and make him laugh ; and if he doesn't see how great you are ; his loss. I hope I helped.


there isa guy in my art class who i think likes me and he is relly sweet but he is engaged i don't know if iam getting mixed signals or what i am so confused!!! (link)
I think you're just recieving mixed signals. Alot of guys tend to be what it seems flirting whenever they're really just being friendly, just like girls can come off. He could be flirting though, because he likes the attention. What guy wouldn't love attention from a girl? But I would just say "leave it alone" ; just stick to being friends with him. You seriously don't want to be trying to win over an engaged/married man. I mean, just the fact he's engaged to someone, I mean if something were to go wrong that'd be disasterous, and plus think of her feelings. Wouldn't you be devastated if your fiance left you for some other girl? I know you didn't say if you liked him or not, but I'm just saying. I hope I helped.


on laguna beachh, does anyone know what tessa was sick from that they always talk about? they're always saying, "well before i was sick..." (link)
Alright, well I just tried googling it up, and every other girl seems to be just as curious as you are. I don't think Tessa's mentioned exactly yet what she was sick with. I've seen in some of the little under paragraphs of the sites people mentioned "Could it be cancer?! Bulimia?!" I don't know if I'd go that extreme, but it could always be a possbility. But later in the season, she might end up mentioning it what she was sick with, so stay tuned and watch it. I'm sorry I couldn't find it, but I hope I helped.


okay okay okay. so sorry if this is a bit long. butttt. um so my friend has this boyfriend. but she likes this other kid. and i like the other kid too.. =[ and i justt kinda realized it. cuz we were at a party and me and the kid, we`ll call him D.. we were flirtingg and stuff and i eally like him. and eh might like me.

Oh and Friday we were at a football gamee. and D was thereee. and two of my friends was like you two would look soo cute together. and he juss looked at me and smileddd.
what do i do? =[ (link)
Pft, go for him, of course! If you're worried about your friend you shouldn't be. I mean, she already has a boyfriend. She shouldn't be looking at other guys. But you, you're single, so what's the problem? :] Just start talking to him more and hanging out with him and flirt! It already seems to me like he likes the idea of you two going out if he smiled @ you after she said that. Let him know what you're feeling. Just tell him you think he's a real great guy, and you like him alot, and see what he says back. I hope I helped.


theres this boy who just moved around my way and hes friends with one of my best friends. i like him alot and everytime he looks at me i feel wird like i dont know how to explain. i wanna talk to him but i dont know what to say. to day i saw him when i got home from school and it was a perfect time to talk to him because there was no one out side BUT i dont know what to say any one has any cool topics that i can start with? hes really in to sports. (link)
First of all, to make yourself more known to him so you're not just like, some random stranger waltzing up to him and talking, just mesh yourself sort of into a conversation between him and your best friend. Listen to the what they're talking about, and make [good] comments and relate to him about whatever stories or experiences he might be sharing. Also, if he has a class with you, just be like,"You're in my ____, right? Isn't that class the worst/best?" And just start talking about class and the assignments and everything. Then later, as he starts walking home, just waltz over and be like "Hey! Whats up? Did you check out that football/whatever game the other day? I can't believe they won!" And then just slide over into other topics too to get to know him better and show him you have an interest in what he likes to do and everything. I hope I helped.


ok i just turned 13 a week ago and i'm in 7th grade, and i havn't had a boyfriend yet...i'm pretty sure its because... i'm ugly, i mean i wear glasses i'm 5'0 or 5'1 and i'm fat... (135) waht do i do??i cant talk to a friend or cousin or aunt, and my mom passed away. so i live with my dad. what should i do?? please please please help me.
(link)
Well, first of all, you're just barely 13. The body stops developing and growing at 18, so you really have a good 5 years to change and grow and everything. Whenever I was younger, I thought I looked horrid. I think I look fine now.

About your weight, if you want it gone, then you have to take control of it. Go on a good steady diet and start jogging around the neighborhood and exercising more.

And I don't think glasses are that big of a deal. I wear glasses sometimes, and people say it makes me look smarter. I think it makes me look a little older looking too, haha. But if glasses bother you that much, talk to your dad about getting some contacts.

But, the main point is. It might not even be because you think you're "ugly". [ I'm not saying it's you! ]I mean I've seen real pretty girls and they don't get guys either. It just depends who a guy is interested in and who they're not. I mean some girls can be smart, funny, everything and not get a guy. Guys are just real confusing sometimes.

But believe me, in a few years, you'll be changing, growing and things'll be different. Who knows? You might even grow and change this year. But you just need to remember you are pretty and let your confidence in yourself show to people, cause that's another thing a guy likes. A girl with confidence!

I hope I helped.


ok i want to start going tanning but i would have NO idea how to do it and like if i need to be 18 or whatever and i want to do it naked so can someone walk me through ALL the steps from the moment i walk in to the moment come out thanx a ton
(link)
Well, first of all, I'm not sure about the age requirements. Some places just let you go do it, some you have to be 16 or 18 and present ID or just have your parents come with you and sign a paper and show them their ID. And I assume you're parents are going to take you there, so they'll just have to walk in and then out.

Walk-through:

1) Walk in the room, she cleans the tanning booth [ they usually do it beforehand but if someone just went out of there, then they do it ]. Then they/you shut the door.

2) Wait till in turns on, or just go in there and wait till it turns on [ unless it already is on ].

3) Then you basically just sit there and lay there and until the amount of time you told them you wanted is over. And you just get dressed again and leave.

I would suggest wearing the eye goggles though, cause the rays and everything can really effect your eyes. Some places even have a litlte radio player that you can listen to while you're laying in there.

I hope I helped.


Alright.. so.. my and my boyfriend did it without a condom.. i know a VERY DUMB idea, anyways.. i am absolutely terrified..so is my boyfriend, he is panicing so much.. i have no idea what to do.. i really need some advice...

-Kell (link)
Wait at least 72 hours unless it's already been around there, and go out and buy a few pregnancy tests. Now, don't take all of them at once. Take one every week or so, and if they all come out negative, then you're fine. But this is a good lesson for you. Condoms, and birth control = good. I hope I helped.


I asked a girl out and she rejected me cause she said she wasn't ready for a relationship but she still liked me we still talked and were still good friends but about a week after i asked out my friend i started talking to a different girl that i meet through a friend so i told her that i was going to talk to her and she got mad at me and i feel kind of bad was i wrong to start talking to this girl what should i do (link)
No, you're not wrong for talking to other girls. Dating a girl or not, you're allowed to talk to other girls and have them as friends. It's not a crime.

She is just being jealous, which can be a good thing because it shows that she likes you alot if she's getting jealous, but that's being a little over jealous if you're just TALKING.

Just talk to her about it. Tell her you're sorry that you got her upset, but she doesn't need to get upset at you talking to other girls. You like her, and only her. All the other girls you talk to are just friends.

I hope I helped.


TOTAL MIXED SIGNALS!
my crush and I, we IM:ed earlier today..
and he went "you're so perfect for me, we like the same movies, songs, everything" and i was soooo happy because of that, but i had to go offline, so i said bye, but then i realized id rather talk to him than do anything else.. so i went online again, and he blocked me! my friend said he was still online, but he "went offline" as soon as i logged in.. WHYY? i cant ask him about this, so do i just NOT talk to him until he talks to me? or what? (link)
He might just be embarassed and doesn't want to talk to you. Not talk to you in a BAD way, but he might think you didn't feel the same as he does for you, and he's shy now and embarassed to talk to you cause he might feel dumb. Just text him or call him or talk to him in school and let him know you feel exactly the same way, and keep talking to him. I'm sure later he'll block you then. Guys can just be weird sometimes and send out messed up signals, haha. Believe me, if he's telling you you're perfect for him ; he digs you ALOT. I hope I helped.
