Before the world was made, God panned out each and every one of our lives. He knows the future, the past, and the present. EVERYTHING! We are just people living in God's world. That saying does tie into this, because God plans everything for a reason. Hope this helps you!

If you can't get to a dermatologist, get Stridex Power Pads. They clearned my face up in like 2 days!! For your body...i'm not sure but get lots of vitamin A!!

Of course not! Girls will respect you more because you care about your body enough to suffer through a diet. Women have suffered through diets too, so don't worry what they think. Men, on the other hand, if they're immature they might give you a hard time. once again they are IMMATURE and who wants to be friends with an immature asshole anyway??

I don't suggest investing in an expenisve curling iron...just because it takes a lot of time to curl all your hair! I suggest going to target and buying the one you feel safest buying...without going TOO TOO cheapo!

Have you tried scrunching??

I'm just like you! I'm tiny..but i'm not thin. Well, I know you said you don't like sports, but I totally think you should try dance (if this is a girl). I'm a dancer and my dance studio doesn't ONLY do dance. During our dance classes we have to stretch, which includes lunges, splits, sit-ups the whoole shebang. After that we dance. Dancing is so much more exercise than most people think. My best friend used to be really chubby, but gained muscle when she started dance. Its great! If you're a guy...try running. My dad is a runner and he loves it.

Try using a tampon! Your question makes it seem like you ALWAYS use pads. Pads are horribly uncomfortable, so why endure the torture?? You won't even remember you have your period if you were one!

A kid in my school once held his head under a blowdryer for 5 minutes and immediately took his temp. It actually made him have a fever!

Or you could blend up a bunch of food in a blender when someone isn't home and then hide it under your bed. In the middle of the night spread it out on the floor next to your bed and show it to your parents. If they don't buy it keep doing it again and again so they think you've been throwing up multiple times!

A beach theme would be VERY cute!

Wall Color: A soft blue would be very nice! Don't chose colors that you will easily get sick of (this goes for all themes). I know you want bright colors, but belive me, save the bright colors for your accesories NOT your walls!!

Bed: You might want to get a new bed spread that is decorated with tropical flowers- pbteen.com has some very cute stuff. Buy some bright, fun pillows. I'm sure you could find cute stuff anywhere you look, so they shouldn't have to be expensive.

Floor: If you're willing to spend the money buy a bright orange or yellow rug for your floor! Rugs can be expenisve depending on where you're shopping, so you may not want one.

Accessories: These don't need to be expensive! Go to a craft store and buy fake flowers. They come in strands or stems. You can weave them into your heaedboard or drape a strand over a mirror (thats what i did in my room!). Flowers can go anywhere!! I've also seen signs on pbteen.com that say things such as "bikini beach 1 mile". Those would be cute. I've also seen beautiful framed pictures of beaches in picture stores that you could hang up!

[[[If someone in your family has a surfboard that they don't use prop it up against a wall]]].(you asked about this)

Be creative! Your room should reflect your own expression!


If you need any more ideas PLEASE PLEASE srop one in my inbox because I LOVE answering these kinds of questions. I would love to help

You might be too old for these but...

there is a series about this 14 year old girl named Georgia Nicholson the first book is called Angus, Thongs, and Full-frontal Snogging. I think they're really funny and they fit your description!

Maybe you could serve raspberry sorbet. That is the only dessert I can think of right now without those ingredients. If you're desperate check out foodnetwork.com and type in like "non-dairy" and then search through those to find desserts that don't have chocolate or butter. Good luck!!

Treadmills are great for the winter! My dad is a runner and that is what he does for the winter months. If you don't have a treadmill, maybe join a health club like the YMCA or something like that. Or, if you have a good friend that has one, borrow his/hers. If there are trails where you live, consider running on those. In my town the trails don't have ice, so they're also great! For your issue with your face, they sell these silly looking things that look like a tube made out of fabric. It covers your face up to your nose. If you go to sports authority and tell them about it, they'll know what I mean.

Yep!! I just did something for my Bat Mitzvah for the holdidays!! All you have to do is contact the hospital and ask them if they know a person who could help you with donations. Ask for a wish-list. Look at the wish list and choose what to buy. Schedule a drop off time and then bring the toys to the hospital and give them to the person who you have been working with. I am in a "Mitzvah Club" and each family donated some toys. You could maybe hang flyers up or put donation boxes in the lobby of elementary schools! This will get you lots of toys!!

You raise me up when I'm down

You offer me a shoulder when no one else will

You listen to my problems but don't necessarily give me solutions

You support my decisions

You support my dreams

You assure me I have a chance with any guy even though I really don't

You know exactly what makes me feel better

Theres some for you! I'd be happy to give you more just leave one in my inbox!!

What's THAT???

Okay, now everyone has that sort of thinking when they are first considering tampons! Trust me when I say...there is nothing you can do hurt yourself!! Just sit on the toilet (it works best) and follow the directions!! For my first time I used Playtex slimfits. They are the best kind because they are plastic and are easy to insert. All you do is put your thumb and middle finger on the grooves and slowly push until your fingers meet your body. Then, push the thingamiajigger (whatever it is you'll know what). Its kinda hard to push sometimes. There you have it!!! Taking it out might hurt a little if you don't do it right but keep pulling...once again there is nothing you can do to hurt yourself!

In my opinion you can't just become goth one day. That sounds so dumb for some reason! You just are what you are. "Goth" is the way you want to express yourself. This sounds like when my little sister was 10 she came up to my mom and said "Mom guess what im goth!" It doesn't happen over night. First of all, try to understand the beliefs of the people who choose to express themselves such. Maybe something triggered their sudded need to wear goth type glothing and makeup.

About the hair situation..you don't need back hair to be considered "goth" looking. I've seen many who have blonde, brown, or red hair! Maybe start by asking your mom if you could get red or black hilights. If that isn't allowed, don't sweat it!


About the gothic sayings, maybe try listening to some songs that have them in it. Look deeper into what the syaings are trying to tell you. Things may not appear to be what they really are! A murder may symbolize a break-up with a boyfriend. Blood might represent tears from the "murder". Things like that may be hidden inside these violent sayings.


Goth clothing can be found anywhere you look! Mostly Hot Topic though. I'm not positive but i think Spencer's might have some stuff too. Hot Topic is definately the place to go!!


I hope you consider some of the things I said. I don't usually give such long answers but i felt it was worth it ;-)

Well, i'm pretty sure that if you break the wire they will repare it for free, but if the brace comes off (like in your case) it's not free. Every orthodontist has different rules, so i would maybe ask him/her about it. I also have some tips so you don't break them again (some are obvious):

1. Don't eat sticky candy (obvious i know) the sugar in the candy will wear out the glue causing it to weaken and break.

2. Avoid hard foods such as the candied nuts you get in NYC, lollipops, and even corn on the cob! These foods will damage the wires and may break a bracket

3. Brush around the brackets well so you et rid of any sugar that may be breaking down the glue.

4. Chew SUGARLESS gum. They only tell you not to chew gum because they're afraid you are going to chew the kind with sugar. As said before sugar breaks down glue.

So try to avoid tons of sugar because it really is the main cause for you brackets to break!


Good luck with your braces...they will come of soon (mine just did)!!

I used to use Jolen to bleach my lip and it has worked in the past. My mom has sensitive skin and used it. She never broke out! Then I just decided to get rid of all of it instead of bleaching. Personally, bleaching is a waste of time! Wouldn't you want to just get rid of it!?! If you do, use nair. The kinds they have for your lip have aloe in it to make your skin soft.

I would reccommend using nair. Its so easy and only takes about 6 minutes. The smell is irritating to some, but i don't think its too bad! You can get it at any supermarket. It doesn't cost too much either. Your razor would work, but i wouldn't use it. Just go the whole nine yards and get rid of all the hair!! I agree on not waxing, its too time consuming.

I'm not trying to convince you or anything but...some of the shirts at Abercrombie (kids) are 20$ which isn't that much compared to other non popular stores. Try abercrombie kids if you like tight clothes. I'm not sure how old or big you are, but my 19 year old cousin gets clothes at the kids store!

Ok now...TJ Max has stuff that has labels from abercrombie. Alsoo check out Target! They have some stuff there.
