My friend is having her 16th birthday. Since shes sorta childish, I thought it would be fun and silly to do child games despite our age. What kind of games would you consider for us to play? There are going to be about 12 but we can always split into groups and so on. I already have Pin the Tail on the Donkey and Musical Chairs. Any other ideas?

I think it is great that you are helping your friend with her 16th party and keeping her personality in mind.
Although your friend is sorta childish, not everyone coming to the party will be - so mix the 'childhood' games in with other more age appropriate activities so you have something for everyone.
My friend had a 16th that was all girls. We did 'dress up' like we did when kids. The party girl wore a crown and we took pictures in different fully poses. It wasn't a game - but it was silly and fun...and contained an activity from our childhood.

I used to have thick, nice hair. UNTIL I CHOPPED IT OFF ALL THREE YEARS AGO. Biggest mistake I've ever made...I cringe when I think about it.
I got it short and thinned out. now, three years later, my hair is medium length at best and so damaged.
I refuse to cut it. seriously. I won't even trim it. I haven't gotten it cut in over a year.
It's so thin and ugly ugh. it's just past my shoulders. I want it past my boobs.
HOW CAN I MAKE THIS HAPPEN. Over the summer, I'm going to condition it every day and not use any heat tools. but until then, what the hell can I do?
does damaged hair even grow?
ugh. (link)

Your hair grows from the roots, near your head, not from the damaged ends. Your roots don't care if you have split ends or not. Cutting your hair does not stimulate hair growth. However, keeping the damaged hair trimmed off will make it look healthier and you will be happier with your style as your grow it out.
I am not sure why your hair is damaged...was it color treated, bad diet, or heated appliances? Even the sun and stress can damage your hair. Is it damaged all the way to your scalp, or just to a certain point?
Most peoples hair is genetically programmed to grow a maximum of 6 inches a year. If your hair is so damaged it is falling out or breaking off, it may appear to be growing slower. Or, if you have a poor diet or an illness, that can slow your rate of growth.
Here is my RX.
1. get the frizzy ends cut off. It will make you feel better and your hair will instantly look better. Just like someone that is losing weight needs to buy clothes AS they lose weight, you need to have a hairstyle you like AS you are growing out your hair.
2. Avoid daily washing- Every 3 days is enough, and use a shampoo with Protein in it. Always wash hair with low temperature water as hot water dissolves the natural scalp oil. Brush your hair before shampooing/wetting to get tangles out.
3.Do not rub the hair vigorously as excess friction can cause hair to break off.
4. Always use a wide toothed comb and comb the hair gently. Do not comb hair when it is wet, as the hair is very weak.
5. Keep hair hydrated with mild shampoo and rich conditioner. Use extra gentle shampoo for color treated hair. An ideal shampoo should be neither highly acidic nor alkaline. Use a conditioner that contains protein.
6. Allow hair to dry naturally. If at all hair dryer must be used, then turn it on at its lowest setting. Heat damages hair.
7. If you are in the sun, use a leave in conditioner, and try wearing a hat or scarf.
8. A weekly head massage strengthens the roots and improves blood circulation. Doing it even for two to three minutes will stimulate the scalp and prove effective.
9. If you are bleaching your hair - stop until it is healthy again.
10. Hair shine products with a drop of silicone serum will smooth down hair cuticle and help make it look less frizzy/damaged.
11. Deep condition weekly (not daily).
12. Eat a healthy diet rich in proteins.

this is embarresing to ask but ive never seen like anyone elses vagina before and i feel like mines not normal. im probally just overthinking or whatever but is it normal for fluids to come out liek whenever?
and i jsut dont think mine looks right also.
can someone tell me what a normal vagina looks like or something i just feel like im not normal :/ blehh help please. (link)
|
Unless you are a doctor, a lesbian, or into porn, most likely you will never see someone else's vagina! lol And certainly not close enough to compare discharges.
Most women have vaginal discharge but not all discharges are normal. The amount of discharge is different for each woman. Some women have a little discharge now and then. Others have discharge every day. It is normal to have some vaginal discharge, because the vagina stays moist as it is self-cleansing. The normal moist discharge clears dead cells and bacteria from the vagina.
During the week following a period, there is hardly any discharge, and what there is has a thick consistency. Towards the middle of the cycle (about 2 weeks after the start of a period) the amount increases and it becomes thin, slippery and clear, like uncooked egg white. When this discharge is exposed to the air, it becomes brownish-yellow, so it is normal to find a yellowish stain on your panties at the middle of the monthly cycle. There may also be a feeling of moistness and stickiness.
Normal discharge does not smell, and does not cause any irritation or itching.

i needed to lose 15 pounds andfor the last 2 weeks ive been working out and eating very healthy and have lost 7 pounds so far! but yesterday was my sisters birthday so we went out to lunch, then dinner later and then had LOTS of cake and ice cream. i mean lotssssss! but this morning it said i had gained 4 pounds?!!!? is this possible? i feel horrible like ive been working so hard to lose this weight did i really gain that 4 pounds back? is it just food thats still in my stomach?! ugh im so pissed??! (link)

No - everything you ate last night did NOT have time to magically turn into fat cells by the next morning. Your body hasn't even finished metabolizing what you ate last night.
Your weight will change all the time due to the foods you eat, the amount of water you have in your (or don?t), the sodium you have eaten, etc etc. Many many factors influence the number on the scale. You can weigh 1/2 pound more just after eating oatmeal, but that doesn't mean you gained fat cells. Also, you didn't say what type of workouts you are doing, but muscle holds on to water while it's repairing. Water isn't fat!
If you think you over did it - go out now and burn off some of those calories. Since you have been working out, your metabolism is probably geared up and running higher, so burning more calories even at rest.
Good luck!

okey so im 15/f and ive never had a boyfriend.
ive made out with two boys in my whole life. and its not like im ugly or weird or anything. alot of guys have flirted with me and shit but its like they just movee on. what should i do and act around boys im interested in and stuff? too bee more flirty and outgoing? no onee has asked me out yet its pathetic rawwr lol help pleaseee. (link)

I know it is hard to see now - but be patient! Your world will soon change.
14/15 is just the START of the dating age, and more girls are into relationships than guys. The guys are just now getting up the guts to flirt. Most guys as this age don't make great boyfriends anyway.
The next two years will be MAJOR for dating. You will see a lot more couples and a more maturing for the guys. You will find yourself not wanting just 'a boyfriend' but a 'certain boy'.
As far as what you should do - yeah, definitely be fun and outgoing - but be yourself!!!
Girls that are TOO loud and forward can be viewed as obnoxious and just trying to get attention. This actually turns guys off.
Just like you see guys that are major flirts as 'not serious' guys see girls the same way. They will flirt back, and that IS fun, but they won't read anything into it other than flirting and having fun.
Also - don't confuse your dating value (personality/looks) with having a boy. With or witout a boyfriend, you are HOT!

I didn't want to split this up into many questions because it would take up too much space over there ---------------------->
Plus they're all basically in the same category :)
Ok, so this summer, as most summers for me are, is a time for change :) I want a new hair cut and a new style. I used to be and kinda still am into the whole graphic tee's, skinny jeans, and converse look but I'm starting to edge out of it a little. I used to be really uncomfortable about my body, but now I've learned to not really care what other people think, as I can still be fashionable without being stick skinny :) so, basically I just want a cool place, preferably online, to get some cute, school-ish summer-y clothes that aren't fancy, but they aren't just t-shirts and stuff. Like Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, and Forever 21 :) I don't like dresses too much, but I'm open to many suggestions for some cool, "in" summer styles :D
As for the hair, I used to/still do have scene-ish hair. I don't tease it though, it just has a LOT of layers and goes over one of my eyes. It's currently a light brownish blonde color and goes just below my boobs. I know short hair is in for the summer, so what color/style do you think I should get it done? :)here's a pic of me, just incase you need one:
http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=dSa8GAWHVNzcMpfOxPL%2F1A%3D%3D
Oh yeah, and I'd prefer to leave my bangs where they are haha I have a really bad bump nose that you can see at any angle other then the one in the picture, and my bangs kindof help hide that :) so yeah, hair suggestions would be fabulous!
And my third question; what is some good tanning lotion/sun block? I tend to get very sunburned (especially on my cheeks and nose) and I'd rather that be a tan :)
Thank you all so so so SOOO much! I'll rate all answers :D (link)

I love love love Urban Outfitters. Shop on-line and you will find some great deals. For summer I like sheer shirts with a print with a tank or shelf bra underneath. H&M is a cheaper alternative. You should also check out karmaloop, freepeople, topshop, dorothyperkins, shanalogic, etsy, heritage1981, delias, and alloy online.
Your bangs look great - grow them out a little more so that sideways sweep you do is a little more dramatic. I would also suggest partial highlights for summer - it sets off a tan and you are almost blond already.
Search on 'Bob' haircuts. They started getting popular last year, and continue to be. There are a lot of variations. Look for something edgy with a lot of fringe. Tony & Guy hair salons are good with that type of cut if you have one around.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock is an excellent sunscreen for your face. It lasts a long time. No-Ad Sunblock doesn't last as long, but still rated highly and is cheaper. Neutrogena Active Breathable Sunblock is similar to Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, except that it is more water- and sweat-resistant.

17/f. I recently found out that one of my really good guy friends (17/m) likes me a lot. I don't see him as anything more than a friend, though. My problem is that we have a really close group of friends (there are 6 of us who hang out all the time), and I don't want to let things get out of hand and make things awkward. He is being very, very, very obvious about this. I know that by not stopping it, I'm essentially leading him on... and the last thing I want to do is hurt him because I love him like a brother. I really screwed things up the other night... when our group of friends was doing homework on his bed, he sat super duper close to me (almost to the point of snuggling?) and I didn't do anything about it (because at the time I didn't know the extent of his feelings and thought we were just being friendly). I mean, I think snuggling is perfectly okay when it's all in good fun... I get the bad friend award, I'm totally aware. So my question is, how should I handle this situation, and what should I do if he makes any sort of move on me? (link)
|
You definitely need to address this BEFORE he makes a move. If you have to refuse him after a move he will fill like an idiot and will be angry. Tell him NOW you appreciate the attention but you don't want things to go any further. He might be disappointed, but not angry or feeling foolish.
Also - make sure of your feelings before you shut the door. My cousin had a good friend for 3 years of college and suddenly they were a couple and now they have wedding plans. She said it started with a kiss ... and her feelings shifted.

Sadies is around the corner and I have to think of a way to ask my boyfriend! =)
Have any ideas? I want to do something with chocolate kisses, but I can't think of anything!
The more the better!
Please & thank you! =) (link)
|
Hershey's has a HUGE chocolate kiss you can buy for under $10. Walmart usually carries it. Replace the paper strip in the wrapping with a Sadies invitation on it.
Get a small branch, plant it in in a flower pot and glue the kisses to the branch like leaves. Write your Sadie's invite on the pot with markers or paint.
Take a simple wooden frame, put a picture of you two in it- decorate the frame(glue)with kisses.

My 14 yr old stepson moved in with us in November 2007 due to safety issues by CPS. He had major anger issues and behavior problems.He has Aspergers Syndrome. I have asked him if he would want to visit his mom and siblings for spring break and he said no. My question is should I ask his mom to sign over full custody to us since we are still paying her child support and unfortunately she rarely calls him.
Atleast we would be able to live our lives and not have her tell my husband that she can pick him up at any time since she still has custody. He has changed dramatically and is doing a 100% better. (link)
|
First - make sure you are doing this for your stepson, and not as a way to 'stick it' to the mom. She could fight back and petition the court for full custody again, if anything, she may do it just to keep the $$ going.
Second - what does your stepson want to do? Your stepson is old enough by law to chose who he lives with. It may be a very simple matter of petitioning the court for full custody, with your stepson saying he wants to live with you and his dad. This would take all the 'fight' out of her side of the decision.
One of my best friends has Aspergers and he is graduating from college next year. Good job giving your stepson the support he needs to be successful.

Okay, So I have a boyfriend & I've only just started dating him(a week). The other night i brought up a conversation about flirting and he told me that he flirts BUT he doesn't cheat, and that its harmless flirting. His sister told me he's never cheated either & wouldnt cheat(he tells her everyting). but i still feel uncomfortable about the flirting bit, even though his sister told me theres nothing to worry about.
My friend spoke to him and he said thats just how he is. he told me he has a lot of reallyyy close friends but they're like little sisters to him and nothing more. We have a thing in our relationship where we dont deny if something is wrong, but we dont have to talk about it.
I've met pretty much all his friends & he doesnt act weird with me when being around them & when he's at school, he acts normal(kissing me, holding me, being with me, etc) & everyone knows im his girlfriend so he's not trying to hide the fact that im his girlfriend or anything.
He's not good at showing much emotion, and i was warned about that before we dated. But I want him to open up. How do I get him to open up more? Or should I just not bother and let him be if he doesnt wanna talk about it?(he & his ex girlfriend of 4 years fought ALL the time because of the not showing emotion thing) so i dont want to be like her.
I just get confused about how he feels sometimes when he avoids telling me whats wrong.
someone helpp? (link)

My first thought is you knew what you were signing up for when you decided to become his girlfriend. It sounds like you did the background work to understand who and how he is.
You knew about the flirting. You knew about the 'closing up' emotionally.
This is who he is.
You saw what trying to pressure him into giving/saying more did to his past relationship and you know what the outcome is: fighting and eventual break-up.
So really, the decision is in your hands.
Can you date this guy, with his perceived 'flaws', and have a healthy, happy, fun relationship? Or is the flirting and emotional distance a deal breaker for you? Will you always have a tiny voice that says not to trust him, and another voice that hurts and yearns to be closer?
Because you can not change who HE IS.
If these things make you crazy/unhappy ... then get out of the relationship now...it will only hurt worse later. Take this as a 'lesson learned' and know what to NOT look for in your next relationship.
If you see his flirting as charming, and you are secure with with that and trust him. If you see his emotional distance as the 'strong silent type' and it doesn't bother you ... then hang in there and see how it goes.

In regards to a relationship, what exactly does a girl mean when she says you can "make your move"? (link)
|
Depends on the girl...if she isn't someone you are currently dating, then she is saying, "kiss me - ask me out."
If you are dating, she is saying, "hey, I won't stop you if you want to explore a little more of what I got under this shirt, pants, etc."
She is letting you know she is ready to bump it up a notch and don't be shy.

I like my guy friend from school, and he doesn't know about it. It's very possible he likes me but I'm just not totally sure just yet. I feel like I could be getting somewhere with him but I'm just not comfortable at all with just flat out admitting it. I'm not exactly a natural flirt either. What are ways I can hint to and and infer that I like him without actually admitting it? Also what are some ways to know if a guy likes you? (link)
|
I met a guy I felt the same way about this summer. We had a group thing with friends invited and he showed up. I had never seen him before. He was so cute and funny. I knew right away this was someone I wanted to get to know.
So I friended him on facebook, got his cell number and bravely texted him- my very first text to him was 'hey sexi' Of course he texted me back! What guy doesn't like to be flattered?
I told him who I was and when we met. And I just acted like I was playing around and he started talking to me. Long story short, we talked and flirted for 2 months. First in text and aim chat. Then phone calls and at school (luckily I had a class with him). After a couple of months of getting to know each other we made it official, and just celebrated our 6th month of going out.
It sounds like you guys are friends... and now you need to take the NEXT step and make it more.
Flirting is a way to put it out there in a fun, friendly way, without just blurting out your hearts desire. You don't have to be sexy when you flirt - you can be funny instead.
If you can't get your voice to work, casually touch him. Bump his hand when you walk with him. Quickly brush his hair off his forehead, a crumb off his shirt, anything. Compliment HIS hat, shirt, whatever. Make him laugh.

first off i think im sad now well i know i am but its because i like this girl but i cant tell her because i dont really know how to . if that makes sense its like i know i like her but at the same time i wouldnt begin to know how to not be a total goof ball around her and make her find me charming or want to be with me . im totally uncoordinated when it comes to girls and i know this may be considered rambling but i hope it makes sense can anyone help (link)
|
I think if you were more secure about her feelings you can get past your ackwardness. So you need to find out where her mind is - or at least open up the topic with her.
I can tell you how I test out if a guy likes me, and I think you can do it in reverse.
First, if you have a facebook or aim id, get hers and just start casual chat 'what's up?' kinda messages. If you can get her cell number...do the same. Not everyday...but a couple of times a week ... And don't jump on her as soon as she signs on. You want to seem casual. Just the fact you reached out to her will make her wonder if she caught your eye.
If she brings up something going on you can do too, show interest. If she isn't too shy herself, maybe she will invite you to come along. Or if you have something going on, chat about it, and if she shows interest, invite her along. As you get more comfortable, you can start with some casual flirting...
See if you can partner up with her at school. If your school encourages you to do community service, see if you can do it together. If she works somewhere, be sure to drop by.
You know how school gossip is,all you have to do is drop the hint to one of her girlfriends or a loud mouth guy friend, and they will let her know and you can judge her reaction.
I totally like goof balls. If a guy can make me laugh he is half way there.

How can I make my style different. Everyone at my school wears uggs, Hollister, Victoria's secreat, Forever 21(A LOTT!)
What can I do to be different, or just get my own style?! (link)
|
I remember those days. We called it the 'Freshman Uniform' because everyone dressed alike in the SAME safe trendy clothes. As soon as American Eagle, Hollister or Abercrombie came out with a new shirt or jean, you saw it on 3 different girls the very next day!
The way I broke out of the mold was to start shopping at smaller boutiques. The clothes are trendier, and you can find good deals if you shop the sale racks. If you have all those larger stores around you have boutiques around too, you just need to start noticing them.
Also, shop outside your own city if possible.
Layering and accessories are one way to start building your own unique look. It takes some experimenting Plus, you just have to have the guts to try something outside the usual. Also, think in terms or 'outfits' vs just Jeans and a Shirt. Get the purse, jewelry, shoes to go with it. You can swap things around, but make it a whole outfit.
Take a poster board and lots of old magazines. Cut out pictures of models wearing outfits you like. By the time you are finished, you will start to see a 'look' that you are attracted to.
Now that I am older *Sr High - I can look at clothes and say 'That looks like Kelsey' 'Taylor would love that" "Lindsey wears this type of dress a lot', because they all have their own 'style' And NO ONE wears a Hollister t-shirt anymore! lol

Okay, so I have two friends, A and B. They're 'best friends'. The reason i put it in quotes is because it doesn't seem like they're REAL best friends. Like there friends but are 'best' friends for the label.
Anyway, well A and me got into a fight. I have anger problems so when I get mad I get really mad, and so I tried to let some distence go between me and A so that I would get over it and we would never get to the whole me screaming and yelling stage. (Pretty much the whole fight was over this guy,C)C is A's Boyfriend. Well, B is a follower, pretty much A is the puppet master and B is the pupet. So me and A worked our fight out and we were all cool. Then, today, B is like freaking out because I wouldn't buy her a cookie at lunch(she promises to pay me back then doesn't, so i'm done) and I got one for myself and she was like freaking out that I wouldn't give her some of mine. Then, she brought up this morning. This morning me A&B were at my locker and This other girl H came and was just like talking with us. Well H and I were talking about Track (Me and A are on the team) I was telling H how our school track is a joke and like 2 people take it seriously. **back to lunch** B was telling me how I hurt A. But I wasn't talking about A.(A thinks shes good, but shes not) and so I was defending my self saying that I didn't mean it that way, and if she took it that way, then it was an accident because it wasn't ment to be taken that way.
Well B was like oh my god, w/e and like freaking out so we stopped talking.THENNN, we (B&I) were going to go to the libray to do homework but my other friends(I have other friends, so does A, but B doesn't)were staying out and just chilling. I wanted to do that to and B was like no, homeworrk and I was like do it out here or you can go to the libray yourself, it wasn't that big of a deal, but she took it as if the world was ending. So shes doing spanish I'm doing spanish and shes like hiding her answers like i'm trying to copy off her and I was like dude chill and she goes i'm not letting you copy off me, and I said okay, i'm not trying to(she was giving attitude, i wasn't and i was just like letting it go) and then I was just like, don't ask for stuff from me and B goes what? And i was like remember when you asked for the english prompt for an in class essay (so she could find quotes prior from going into class, I didn't think this was fair, first, I barly got to finish so I didn't want her to get an advantage and second thats cheating and thats a big deal and i'm not getting into trouble for something dumb like that) Anyway and she goes Yes, and I was like you were freaking out because i wouldn't give it to you, and since your not willing to let me copy your stuff(even though i wasn't going to) i'm not going to let you copy mytuff, and she said fine.
Today, after school I went up to A, even though I wasn't sorry**, and basicly, told her that What I said this morning wasn't about her and just explained myself saying that I was sorry and A was like oh, well don'dt even worry about it. I don't care.
And i was like that was weird, since B said she was pissed. so i texted B: here is the convo, B=B, and I is me.
I: I talked to A and she said that she was fine and she didn't care
B:Cool, cuase shes done dealing with you and so am i.
I:Excuse me?
B:WHat. I mean it your nothing but mean to both of us and frankly i'm sick of it. Friends don't treat people like shit
I:what do I say
B:i'm not gonna tell you want to say
I:i said what do i say. Meaning what so meant that i say...
B:everything if i ever said that stuff you u you'd like tell me off. Its building up and i'm sick of it.
**text to long so i'll sumerize
Basicly, I asked for examples and she was like this morning(track thing), lunch, spanish homework, to our parents. And i was like what do i say to your parents, cuz i think that you should be very polite to adults, and i know that i'm respectful to adults. A's parents are funny and kids themselves so i'm funny with them. They don't seem to mind. BUt B goes your obnoxious and act like your 10. and she was going on about how A's parents think that to, and B's parents don't like that thing. I'm never with B's parents so don't understand that. But I don't understand what I did wrong
Whos wrong here?**i know we all are in a little way
Do I need to change?

Wow - a 3 some is SO hard to manage. When you have 3 girls, one is going to be a 'leader' and one a 'follower' and one just plain stuck in the middle. And the roles can change day-to-day.
There is always a power struggle over 'who is the BEST friend' and 'who is the extra' in the group of 3.
It sounds like B is trying to keep the drama going to make herself the 'best friend' to A and to keep you as the 'extra'. You said B doesn't have any other friends, so she is trying hard to hold on to A.
I don't know if you really did anything wrong. There is always more than one side of the story. Just the fact you are willing to look at yourself and try to figure out what you did wrong, proves you care that you are a good person, and you are trying to do what is best.
If A said she is OK, you really have no choice but to trust that she is OK - and hopefully B will not get her upset all over again by keeping things going.
I know it is HARD HARD HARD .. but sometimes when drama is involved, it is easier to 'move on' than to try to solve everything.
The earlier in life you learn to say 'WHAT EVER!' and let it go - the quicker you will learn to just drop it. Because you can't change B's behavior. She is who she is - just don't let her dump on your self esteem or confidence.

i want to get a webcam so i can talk to my boyfriend who lives far away. we both have skype which has webcam capability. the thing is i dont know anything about webcames. i have a dell with windows xp. about a year old. so i was wondering exactly what a need to buy. is it just the webcam or do you need a headset? thanks. (link)
|
Webcams range from simple to complex. The most simple is basically a camera attached to your computer by a USB cord. The webcam will come with the software you need. You are wanting to do video calls with your webcam, so make sure the one you buy has that function.
The last web cam I bought I found at Radio Shack, but Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc all sell them. They vary quite a bit in price, but most good ones are around $100. You can get them MUCH cheaper. Most also come with speakers built in - so just double check. You shouldn't need a headset.
I suggest going somewhere that has someone that can assist you and understands computers...but your computer isn't too old, so it shouldn't be too hard to hook up.
Dell actually has a webcam for around $30. Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 Web camera. I googled it, and it appears that Toys R Us, Staples, Best Buy, Dell (of course) Radio Shack, Office Max, and Home Depot. Again, make sure it can video message.
Logitech's QuickCam Ultra Vision Special Edition is around $70, and is probably all that you need.

does anyone know a kind of mineral powder foundation that is good?
i've already tried the maybelline kind, and its way to thick and sticky. i'm looking for one thats not too expensive and light weight. (link)
|
I am sure since you said 'not expensive' you have looked at Bare Minerals. Sephora has a starter kit for $60 ...I know, still high.
Avon has a product for around $10 and they are known to have quality products. You just have to know someone that sells Avon, or buy it on-line. Some malls have an Avon KIOSK.
Mary Kay has a product too, but I am not sure of the price.
Philosophy has a good product for around $35, but then you are in the same price range as Bare Minerals.
Revlon ColorStay Mineral Foundation costs $13.99 and should be available from most drugstores. This is new this year, and expected to be one of the best of this type of make-up for drugstore *inexpensive, brands.
There was a rating in 2007 for inexpensive mineral foundation. Milani Minerals Loose Makeup rated highest at $8, followed by L’Oreal Bare Naturale . The new Revlon product is suppose to be better than both of these.

I'm 13(m) and I want to know what I should do. I like this girl and have no idea if I should just forget her and move on because of my young age or if i should go and ask her out or anything else. What should I do? (link)

Go for it!
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take! I know that is an old saying - but it is true. Why look back and wonder what would have happened if only you had asked her out?
And if she says NO - you still haven't lost anything!
Of course, make sure you are talking with her and getting clues she likes you too. You don't want to just randomly ask out someone that you never even talk to.

I tried everything over the counter. Some things worked for a while, like Pro-Active (lots of steps) and the Benzoyl peroxide products at acne dot org. I even tried a special light for acne... The products made it better initially, but didn't get my skin as clear as I wanted it. I still had breakouts and blackheads
I even tried birth control for 3 months, but I gained weight (5 pounds per month) and I stopped taking them. Everyone doesn't react the same way, so don't let that scare you off.
So finally, after years of suffering I made an appointment with a derm, and I had to wait a month for her to see me. My parents ins. covered the visit. It was only $28. Then they gave me a months worth of samples to try...and they worked. So then they gave me 3 perscriptions with some coupons ... a wash with Benzoyl, a cream with Benzoyl, and a retin A type gel. I wash once daily, use the Benzoyl before bed, and the retin A product before make-up in the morning.
You can try a lower dosage over the counter products. Buy a wash and cream with the highest Benzoyl you can find, probably 10%. Use the wash in your shower daily. Leave it on for 1-2 minutes before you rinse off to give it time to work. Use the benzoyl cream 1 times per day building up to twice a day if you still need improvement.
Your face will dry out at first but stick with it!!! I had so much tight, dry skin I wanted to give up but I didn't. Skip a day or two if it is too bad. After a couple of months your skin adjusts and it doesn't dry you out anymore. I promise. CeraVe is the over the counter moisturizer my derm recommends.
I am now pimple free, even during my period. I have some blackheads on my nose, but no longer on my forehead or cheeks. And that is improving too. It has now been 4.5 months.
Anything you do - beside popping a birth control pill once a day, takes discipline to stick to it and not give up. You will see improvement in a couple of weeks, and other's will see improvement in a month. By the end of 3 months, you will be happy.
Good Luck
