I have long hair, but recently some short hairs have started to become noticeable in my part and in the front and they just stick out! It's really irritating and they look bad! lol well I was plucking them like with a tweezers but my mom told me to stop... how can I get rid of them? thank you ! ! ! (link)
i think you just have to let them grow out a bit. and until they grow a little more you should wear your hair so it hides them. like in a ponytail or just something that covers up your part.

those small hairs appear every so often, but once they grow out a tiny bit more, they blend in with the rest of your hair.


My 'best friend' is quite the controlling bitch, and she knows it. She lies and minipulates everyone but I don't bother fighting her because I know I won't win. Everyone loves her, everyone wants to be her friend. She knows everything about me and she's hardly mean to me because we've been best friends for years. However lately, she's been getting more and more into drugs and drinking and I can't talk to her like I used to. She's gotten a bunch of her guy friends to beat up an ex of mine because she lied and said my ex beat her up when he didn't.

I still love my ex and we're considering getting back together, but I know she would make my life miserable if I did because she hates him so much. I'm not sure what to do. I'm stuck between the guy I love, my best friend, and our so called friendship. (link)
this girl is not your friend. i think you should tell her that you cant connect with her like you used to and maybe that you guys are growing apart. if you put it nicely i dont think she'd have much resentment. but you never know, she could still have resentment, and in that case you just have to ignore it all.

if you want to get back with your ex, its your choice not hers.

i really want an emerald green since ive got red hair but im afraid my eyes will be popping out since ive got really dark eyes. what would be the best color to get if i have dark brown eyes? (link)
emerald would just look GORGEOUS with red hair.

but i dont see why you need colored contacts because brown i think would be reallyyy pretty, too.


is it possible that i'm pregnant? me and my boyfriend always have safe sex. the condom NEVER breaks and we always check if it broke or not. but yesterday night, when we were doing it. the condom broke. it didn't break when it was inside of me, it broke near my vagina. when he hit my lip.. well i call it "lips" cause it looks like it, it hit my lip, then i broke. but he told me he did cum or anything, not even a little bit. he told me not to worry because he's positive that i'm not pregnant and because he's a safe boyfriend. but i HAVE to make sure.. am i pregnant? what should i do? (link)
you probably arent pregnant. but just to be sure take a pregnancy test and look for symptoms like feeling sick to your stomach.


When i was 9 until i was 11 i was molested by my brother, who was in high school at the time. I come from an upper class family with overly protective parents so it is one of those things nobody ever thought could have happened to me.

the molestation went so far some would call it rape, i'm not sure. He would make me do things to him, and him to me, and if i said no he would make me feel ashamed for "not liking it" he made me feel discusting for it also, and would threaten me if i told. i sometimes would cry when he did this, and he made me have "sex talks" with him. finally one day i told him i didnt want to do this again, i was so scared i was bawling and shaking. he stopped because he thought i was going to tell, but he had ways of keeping me quiet.

now i'm 16, almost 17, and this experience haunts me. I have issues with my boyfriend, have horrible horrible nightmares, i've acted out been suicidal... that's just the surface of the problem really.

Everybody says, "tell somebody" but nobody understands. Because of this i've spent alot of my life acting out and looking for attention, my brother is a nice funny guy who everybody loves. Not alot of people have seen his darker side. Nobody would believe me, and i say that with 100% certainty. My family would turn on me and it would make life even more miserable.
he's so good at pretending it never happened, sometimes i wonder if he has any remorse at all.

My brother is now almost graduated from college and is not home very often, which is good for me. I am not really afraid of him anymore, I am, but I talk to him sometimes and do normal brother-sister stuff. i do not think he has done this to anybody else, and i've kept a close eye on it.

He's moved on with his life, but I am deteriorating. I can't explain everythign that has happened through this, but i've tried everything to help me through this and nothing works. I need somebody to talk to about this, someody who I can e-mail (rather IM) and help me. I cannot seek professional help because I am underage and don't have much money. I need somebody to talk to because I am tired of being sick like this. So please respond if you would be willing to help me

and please, no twelve year old girls or people who only want to talk once or twice. I really appreciate that you care, but you really can't help me. nd I understand if you do not have the time or experience to understand what I am talking about and decide not to respond. I just need to heal from this (link)
You know what would help you a lot? if you are christian or catholic or whatever, this minister writes books. her name is Joyce Meyer. her show is everyday at 6AM. she has books on things like "confidence" and "how to accept love" and just all that good stuff. really any self-help would be good. go to the library and get a few, no one has to know.

i cant imagine going through something like this, but you just have to think to yourself that you have your whole life ahead of you and you need to stompon this and leave it in the past.

dont let this ruin your life anymore. tell yourself that you can move on from it. what your brother did was terrible and most people don't ever get over something like that. but tell yourself you're gunna be one of the few that does get over it : )

if you need to talk my aim is Veoom17


So.. I failed my drivers test twice.

The first time, was because I failed the parking, so they wouldn't even let me take the test.
Second time, I failed, because the guy was crazy, .. we found out later he has a huge reputation for failing people for no reason, and that his past two jobs he's been fired..

I really want my liscense but I'm scared now, because I just dont want to fail again. I get so anxious when I think about it. I think so negativley about it now since I've failed "twice", and now whenever I think about driving I think about failure, how do I fix this?

I've been practicing, I just feel so afraid.
And I KNOW i can drive. (link)
if you know that you can drive, then just push yourself and get that license! my friend failed the test 4 times but she finally got it. so just remember that people have failed it more than you.

if you know you can do something then you have to prove it. just keep practicing and get that license ;D


i have had top braces for almost 2 years now. when i got them on my orthodontist said i wouldnt need bottom. so now my braces are about to come off, like a couple weeks and 2 weeks ago, last time i went he said hes mad because my bottom teeth moved and now they are crowded. so he got my mom and said he would put bottom braced on for only $600 which is like 2000 less that normal. the only thing is that they will be on for like a year! when i got the top he said about 9 months and its been 2 years. i am so excited to get my braces off but it wont matter because now ill have bottom. its my choice but i just cant decide, if they would be on for only a few months i would have them on no problem, i just dont know what to do, i want them but i dont. (link)
i think you should get them.

bottom braces just arent as big a deal as top braces, ya know?

people cant see them as much and they just arent as in-the-way.

and plus, you might regret not getting them when you're older if you don't get them now. they could cause jaw problems and whatnot and i just think once the braces are off, its worth all of that waiting. so i think you should get the bottom braces.


Okay, so I am making a mixed CD with some different music on it and I need help thinking of songs. For this CD, I wanted to do like ska, ska-punk, indie, indie-rock, indie-pop, and maybe some Swedish too. I don't know if it helps any but here are some bands I already listen to (and if you could recommend some new similar ones that would be great!):
The Hush Sound, Suburban Kids with Biblical Names, and Pain...

ive had my side bangs for about a year and a half now, its not a middle part, its over to the right...and they arnt smooth, they always like part and it looks really stringy (like, i can keep them to the side and stuff, but they dont stay in place, the front part always falls in front of my face) how do i get them to look like put together like this

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/twentieth_century_fox/the_devil_wears_prada/ashley_tisdale/devilpre.jpg
mine look like that, its just they fall apart and you can see skin between them..(i hope you know what i meann) ive tried hair spray and gel and mousse and straighteners and it doesnt work...so...any tips????
Thanks in advance:) (link)
sometimes it just depends on your hair type. ashley tisdale has thicker hair and thats why her bangs stay together like that.
maybe you just have thin hair. in that case, make sure to find a hair style that suits your hair type and length and etc etc


heyy! i was just wondering if anyone has ever used nair and if it works? because i shave my legs but it usually leaves red bumps...and i definitely dont want to wax!!! too painful!! but anyways if anyone could fill me in taht would be great!! thanks!! (link)
i personally have not used nair, but everybody i've asked that's tried it said that it made them bleed and it hurt really bad XDD
but, its good to try it. different things work for different people.
a tip to not get razor burn is to shave in the shower, because your legs will be constantly wet. and shave as the last thing you do in the shower, too.
also, electric shavers are good to use because they never ever give you razor burn. i used to use an electric shaver and now i use the intuition shavers which are amazing but expensive to keepup with, because the refills dont last very long.

good luck!


is it okay that i only have like one or two close friends? i have like one best friend and then like two good friends and people i just talk too. i feel like everyone always has more close friends than me though. i mean i talk to people but not like to the point where we'd hang out together a lot. i don't know sometimes i feel like somethings missing or wrong with it? i don't know any advice would be mucho appreciated

14.f.freshman (link)
yeah thats perfectly normal. i was getting worried that i had too few friends but its untrue. i have 2 best friends and then like 2 close friends, and then just people i talk to at school.

so, dont worry, you're normal.

plus, you just started high school so you'll make a few more friends as the years go by :B


If you blowdry your hair, while straightening it, going under so it's curly..well, will it stay like that? Does the heat make iy stay curly all day? (link)
there's no guarantee. and it also depends on where you live. some places have a lot of humidity so it makes hair impossible to stay straight or really any way you want it to go.
other places its normal and doesnt do much to your hair.
all that heat might damage it but im not sure if it'll make it stay. you might want to do the hairstyle you are thinking of on like a weekend and take a walk outside throughtout the day, and see if it stays or not.
there are also solutions you can use to make hair stay but they dont work often. it wouldnt hurt to look, though!


How do i boost up my confidence ? Im thirteen and I want to be the "outgoing" girl again. I used to be fun to be with, funny, everyone loved, kinda girl but know I dont know what happened to me. Im in eight grade and am trying my best to make the best year out of it. ( I mean it's 8th grade! )

Another point is, I want to do stuff and not get embarrassed for it. [doesnt really have to do with all school stuff] Like whenever for example I would read script I really want to get the part for [in a play], when it's my turn to read IGET REALLLLLY NERVOUS like in my mind i think, What the HELL? I was so excited for ths and now why is my heart beating SOO FAST and i wanna do my best on it... and then like when i'm alone and try to read it, it sounds so good! but when it's in front of someone or some PEOPLE (even my OWN family) I get really nervous and feel like backing up. How do I change that in me? Please help, Im always like this, probably all my life! I want to be an actress and how do i not be scared in front of people (even JUST READING!!!)
And I want to change that now..

So how do i become this outgoing girl again that everyone wants to be "Bestfriend!" with and you know like cool again when people know you stopped being it.. like won't it be weird all of a sudden you change? How do you NOT make it weird? Sorry about the many many questions. lol .

I'm desperate!

One more thing, how do i get skinnier like I have a lot of blubber and it's most coming from my lover abdomen or like from my stomach. Im thirteen. Its NOT baby fat. It's coming from my upper thighs too.

Thanks please try your best to give the best answers you can! =] (link)
you have to completely ignore your surroundings and just get into whatever you are doing. like if its a presentation or an audition. personally, whenever i see a person who is doing something kindof weird..but doesnt care what everyone else is thinking of them and such, yeah when i see someone like that it's almost like inspiring. people LOVE people who just dont care about their surroundings. they love confidence and you just have to know you can do it.


When I wash my hair in the morning, or in the afternoon. A few hours later it will be gross, and oily looking, and other girls hair looks like it did in the morning, and mine doesn't? Why?


I think I have normally oily hair. Cause I can wash my hair today, and in the morning, it will be oily. Is that why my hair is doing this? Can I make it stop, so it looks good all day? (link)
these are PERFECT questions to ask your hair dresser. ask her what products you can use to reduce the oil and test them out. she's an expert, she'll know what you can do and the problem of why it's happening.

I LOVE being with my friends. I just love to be comfortable and included and feel like I'm important. I just really stress over mistakes that I make around them. Like today I accidentally hit my friend in the jaw with a medicine ball, and I apologized and everything, but I feel really awful that she won't want to be with me or anything anymore. I don't know why. I just feel this awful pit in my stomach. I know that friend I hit gets really serious with talking trash about people she doesn't like, and every time I see her my stomach flips. I also feel like when I'm around some of my friends sometimes I feel this sense of annoyance, like they don't like me or don't want to talk to me, but they don't express it in actions or words. I just feel afraid that if I do something wrong to make someone hate me, I'm going to lose everything. I tried so hard to make friends when I was younger, and now that I have them, I want to hold as tight as I can, but I know I need to be looser, funner and more free-spirited about things. I just care too much. I love my friends, and they love me, but I fear that they just will leave me when I keep telling myself that friends wouldn't do that, and I have no reason to be afraid of my friends. I just am afraid of saying the wrong thing, taking things too seriously, not respecting people's preferances that I am unaware of, things like that. Any help? (link)
you're right, friends dont leave you for making slight mistakes. friends accept you along with your mistakes. if they leave you then they weren't real friends. i've learned that if you just live your life and smile at school and act friendly, you just kindof naturally make friends with people around you. people who like you for you, because you didn't have to try so hard for them to be your friend.
just, whenever you find yourself worrying about things your doing, just stop and let it go and just be yourself.


Hi. (13/f)
I love to talk to people, but when I want to say something, I'm speechless. I just don't have any news. What kind of general stuff could I say? I read that talking about the news and stuff is good, like looking through a newspaper in the morning then using news as your topic of convo. I use that for long conversations with my hairdresser or people like that, but not with my friends. I just need unimportant things to say that are funny and witty and are interesting. Like I sit next my friend Jordan during art class at school, and the only thing I can figure out to say is how "wonderful" his drawing is. I just can't figure out something to say that's like interesting, but casual and kind of pointless, like interesting talk that's solely for the purpose of breaking a silence. I see these people everyday, so it's not like I can ask what they do after school, what kind of sports they play, etc because I already know. Any help please? I hate just sitting there not saying anything. (link)
ahhh I have the same exact problem. what you can do is look around the room and notice something that sticks out, like in art class you could notice a painting that looked hard to make and it can lead to a conversation about techniques or cool designs.
another thing you could do is say something like, "wow, I just had the most random thought. who thought to create pizza. like who just sits around and thinks 'YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD TASTE GREAT? MAYONNAISE AND CHEESE ON BREAD. OR WAIT NO.. I'VE GOT IT! SAUCE AND CHEESE ON A TRIANGLE-SHAPED PIECE OF BREAD!' ok that was a stupid example but you get the idea. when you make people laugh, they feel more apt to making conversations.
another thing is when you talk to your friends, talk about something you have in common. like "man i need to update my ipod. whats your latest favorite song?"

you catch my drift?
