Hi, my names Melanie.
I'm fifteen years old.
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 also put my myspace in a link down below,

ok so i turned 16 in august and my boyfriend is about to turn 18 in december...so will that make us...like illegal?

(link)
Well, I don't know if you're talking sex or just dating, but both is fine. The age of consent is 16, so I'm sure the same goes for dating. I hope I helped.


My boyfriend and I just broke up, and now I'm very depressed, I don't know what I should do to make me feel any better. Tomorrow's the first day of school and I don't wanna look too depresse and everything. What would I have to do to try to forget about this? (link)
Well, today I suggest doing all the wallowing and everything as much as you can. Cry a good cry, smack a pillow, write a poem or a sad song or something, whatever you need to do. And then start focusing on cheering up. Invite a friend over to hang out, dance around in your room to your favorite song, maybe go out to the mall and buy some back-to-school clothes, go eat some ice cream and watch a funny movie, read a good book or magazine, and just realize that what's always a possbility at a new year of school? New kids, and new kids means: new guys which COULD mean.. new boyfriends. :] So there'll be other guys you can go for and date! You just got to think positive. I hope I helped.


On Myspace; You know how people have like one picture on top of the other with a lack line in between (I don't mean putting a picture in a picture caption!) Well, how do they do that?! (link)
They just haved both photos saved in a file, and then you just go to it and click on the picture and then copy it. Then you go to PAINT and you paste it, and so the same for the other one. Then, you just resize them evenly and put one picture ontop of the other one and then save it somewhere. I hope I helped.


so i have this cool guy friend. he has a girlfriend, BUT he majorly flirts with me. when he does, his gf isn't around. he's not a cheater or anything bad like that. but it seems like its not a very good thing. does it seem bad to you? should i tell him something? i'm not sure. i feel like i'm in the way. what do you think i should do. (link)
well, he might just be a flirter and doesn't realize it. so if you mentioned it to him, he might not know what you're talking about and get upset. it is sort of bad, because boyfriends shouldn't be flirting with other girls except his girlfriend. i would just talk to him about it. i'd just be like,"i don't know if you're just a flirt and don't realize it or if you're doing it on purpose or what, but you tend to flirt with me sometimes, but i just wanted to ask you if you'd stop. i mean, you have a girlfriend." and if he doesn't realize he's flirting, just suggest to him that you can let him know whenever you feel he is flirting with you, so he can try and stop. i hope i helped.


i have the hardest time picking out a gift for a my boyfriend. what are some good gift ideas for a guy for his birthday, christmas or valentines day? (link)
concert tickets,
cd,
gift card,
if he likes a certain sport or player, get him a jersey or a new ball or something,
a video game,
pay for his ticket to the amusment park or a fair or some place,
go to the movies,
buy him a couple of his favorite movies,
i would talk to his friend also.
they know him pretty well, and they'll be able to help you out with what a guy might want for a present.

i hope i helped.


Okay.....well school for me is starting in September 5 and im so nervous and My best friend moved so we cant walk together.......and also when i get to school i'll be by myself so How can I not be scared? And how can i have confidence? (link)
whenever you walk to school just think of all the friends you're going to make, places you're going to go, and all the good stuff that's going to happen this year. and just remember, all the other kids are just like you wondering how they're going to get around, that they're by themselves and everything. whenever i go to school and walk in, to look confident, i just walk and smile. and then i try and walk around a bit and look for some of my other friends so then i'm not so alone once we figure out when we can see eachother in the halls and what classes we have together and everything. i hope i helped.


I have instant messanger and i don't understand how people get these so called "applesauce" colors... could you help me figure it out?? (link)
alright, all you did is:

1) go to google.

2) type in "applesauce for aim".

3) there should be a site that says "file forum/applesauce" or something like that.

4) then just go there and download it, and there you go!


i hope i helped.


k i used to be friends with this girl.. but then we kind of stopped because she became a bitch. but now she has sooo many friends-she has pictures of them all over her myspace and she has like a million comments and has a really hot boyfriend.. and it's like what happened!? she used to kind of be a loser and now all this has happened to her. she has sooo many more friends than me and has a hot bf and everything... i don't know what to do! (link)
well, there's really nothing to do in a situation like this except ignore her and don't think about her. you don't need to compare your life to hers and the amount of friends she has to yours. while you might have less friends, they could be kinder and be more trust worthy, while she has alot but not very good friends. and sometimes having a "hot" boyfriend isn't always a good thing. sometimes they know they're hot and they could cheat, or they could be a jerk, or whatever. so just live your life, and stop looking at hers, cause it might not be as great as you think it is. and just have fun with your friends, and live life. you never know.. if her life got real good quickly, her life could get bad anyways just as quick. but if she's a bitch you don't even want to deal with her anyway, and maybe after awhile her friends'll start to notice and they might not want to be her friend anymore either. if you want to talk about it more, just leave another thing in the inbox, or you can IM me. my screename's on my site. i hope i helped.


ahh i can't wait! i obsess over christmas bcause thats when i get to see my crush (at camp) i don't care about anything anymore, i dont care about how i look, or what i do.. all i care about is that during christmas i have to be perfect. nothing really matters for me anymore because it feels like only christmas matters! if that makes sense? haha i just want to see him so badly! so what's my question?
i have a few..
1) is this healthy?
or should i maybe get over it?
2) what can i do to make the days go faster?
more specifically: is it a bad idea to count the days?
will that make it so that it feels like time goes slowly, or the otehr way around.. like the days just fly by??

thanks advicenators :D (link)
1) ha, well i don't know about healthy, but it's normal to be really excited about visiting your boyfriend while he's at camp. but i don't think it's as healthy where you don't care about anything else. i wouldn't necessairly get over it, but i would just try and focus on it less.

2) i would not count down the days. whenever i do that, it only makes the days seem slower. if you're not caring about anything else ( like also hanging out with friends ), try giving them a call now and try to hang out with them more and go out more. this will both focus your attention elsewhere and less on christmas and then whenever you do a bunch of activities for a few days and then you look back on the calender, you're like,"whoa, 4 days went by?" cause you're not paying attention as much to the calender. like people say,"time flies by when you're having fun." :]

i hopr i helped.


how do you guys say no jokingly to someone that offers you a smoke?like do you say"no,carry on and enjoy yourselves" or "I feel bad about taking your share",how do you guys push away the offer in a good manner? (link)
a way to pass off a cigarette is to just be like,"oh no thank you, i don't smoke." which is being kind and letting them know you don't at all at the same time, so they won't have to ask you again. i hope i helped.


ok im 15/M. i like this one chick, and i THINK SHE LIKES ME. but i dont know though for sure. but she also acts like she likes this other dude. and this really got me confused. so how should i go about finding out if she like me or the other dude.

-thanks (link)
If she's acting like she likes this other guy, especially whenever you're around, she's probably just trying to get you to become jealous and make you like her more. He could also just be a really good friend of hers. That's the one thing about girls having best guy friends. People always assume "oh they're dating, they like eachother, they're flirting", when really, they're far from. But, anyways. If you don't already talk to her, start and just keep the conversation going, and try flirting a little bit, and see if she flirts back. And just try and make her laugh, and whenever you have to go or she has to or whatever, just let her know how you feel. Just be like,"I'm not sure how you feel about me, but I like you, and I just had to tell you cause I know if I didn't do it now I never would and it's bugging me if I don't find out how you feel back." I mean, what's there to lose? You don't ask her, you don't know. She says she doesn't, but at least you know how she feels about you. OR, she says she does and everythings good. :]


I hope I helped.


I [16] was on the computer and was almost done doing something when my sister [13] came in and said [not asked] that she would get on at 12. I said that I was almost done with something but she didn't care. She started to raise her voice for me to get off because I had been on for a while. I kept saying no but was kind of making jokes. She suddenly kicked me in the stomach [it really hurt] and took the mouse from me, logged me off, and signed on. Then I refused to get out of the chair because she was being rude and she started yelling [it's midnight here, with 2 sleeping parents]. She leaned the chair over to get me off. Then I just tried to talk to her about why she always has to yell and never wants to talk and she screamed, "Because you never leave me alone! GET OUT!!!!" She was crying hysterically and screaming incredibly loud for about 5 minutes while I was trying to calm her down and just talk to her. She continued screaming and crying until finally she stormed off to her room.

What do I do about this? She says she hates me, she isn't willing to talk to me about this, and I don't want to get my parents involved. Please don't say she's just PMS-ing or being normal because I won't believe it. (link)
If she's not willing to talk to you, you might have to get your parents involved. Getting your parents to talk to her and try and get her to settle down and settle some rules around the house might be the only way.

Try talking to her first, though. Don't talk to her after or during a fight, just try and talk to her when she's in a good mood and everything's fine around the house. Tell her she needs to yell less, and just talk. And let her know you were going to let her on, you were just finishing up something you were working on for awhile and were almost finishing. And also she should apologize for kicking you in the stomach, but that's just really rude.

And I'm not saying it's completely normal, but I mean, she is 13. It sort of is expected. 13 year olds can tend to be really over-dramatic and always annoying and they want their way. All the girls in my school who are 13 are like that. They freak out and then they start going ballistic and cause drama with all the people in their grade. Sheesh, thank goodness I'm not 13 anymore, haha.

But like I said, try talking to her, if she's not willing to talk, you have to talk to your parents about it, cause it's getting out of hand. Try setting computer limit times or something. Maybe you get 3-5, her 5-7, you 7-9, her 10-12 or you guys can alternate or something. Try figuring out a plan so whenever it's time to get off, it's time to get off and she doesn't throw a temper tantrum.

I hope I helped.


I really want to 'sort of' come out, but my mum thinks that I shouldn't because our town is full of biggots and homophobes. I would only come out on my myspace, by putting bisexual on the sexuality, just so someone might see it. I don't know how to convince her that I sould be able to do so, and I really don't want to do something so big without havin her agreement. Could someone please tell me something to help convince my mum? (link)
well, i can see why your mother would be concerned. i would really think about your decision, because if you're in a town full of homophobes, it could get pretty nasty. some homophobes can even get slightly violent. so i'm not so sure if i'd want to come out alot to your town, but then again, it's your decision.

so, if you want to convince your mother, tell her it's just something you need to do and everybody just needs to know. you wouldn't feel right if you don't come out, because it's hiding a really huge secret you'd just feel better if you told.

i'm not so sure there is a real way to convince your mother, cause she's probably just really worried for you, and i don't think you'll be able to convince her. like i said, think real hard about telling a town full of homophobes, cause it could possibly get dangerous if they decide to act out.


i hope i helped, though.


ok well i have had black teachers and every class ive been in a class with a black teacher (only females) i end up hating that class even thought its my favorite school subject.and i also hate the way they talk i mean their accent and the way they move. but i do have some black friends (males and females) and i dont have any problems with them we hang out and go places and just do stuff (link)
well, i don't know, it sounds sort of complicated to me, so i tried to google some stuff up and i found a few sites:

http://schwitzsplinters.blogspot.com/2006/04/do-you-know-if-youre-racist.html


but to me, it doesn't sound like you're all that racist, because if you were, you wouldn't be friends and hanging out with people you don't like. i think it's just more of you don't like their lifestyle or they way they do things.


i hope i helped.


seriuosly these days girls act like sluts they let themselves be touched, dress half naked, act like total whores, and do other slutty things. what happened to all the decent girls that u can actually love?? (link)
well, with the most girls that you can actually love, they sit there and wait for a guy to come, and sometimes one never comes and they get sick of waiting. and they look over and see all the girls wearing the really short skirts and dancing around and making out with guys and stuff getting all the guys attention, cause guys are probably just looking for a make-out session, and there it is all up in their face, so of course most of them will pay attention to the girl. i guess i sort of used to be like that. for awhile i bought mini-skirts and flirted alot and was like "BOOOOOOOYYSSSSSS" and acted like a total ditz [ but no, i didn't make out with anybody haha ] but on day i just looked back, and i'm like,"wow. i'm dumb," so i just realized, when i want a guy to like me, it'll be for me. so i guess nowadays most girls feel that if they want to get guys attention and want to feel hot and sexy and everything, they need to dress and act like skanks. or sadly, it just comes natural to some girls. i hope i helped.


ok, i'm not sure exactly what ocd is but dosn't it just mean your obssesed with something??? anyways, i am always playing this game on the computer. its based off of a show on disney channel and i don't even like the show. the first thing i do when i get on the computer is do play this game. sometimes i'll even stop what i'm doing on the computer to go to disney channel website to play this game. what is wrong with me??? am i just stupid? or do i have a problem? thanks! (link)
OCD is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It does sort of mean you're obsessed with something, but not in the way you're thinking. People with OCD, for instance, can be highly aggitated whenever they think of germs and dirt. They have to repeatedly wash their hands over and over again like, 8 times or until they feel their hands are clean. Some people just have a daily routine and if they mess it up, they have to repeat the one part. Some of them try to ignore the urges to repeat the task, but some feel if they don't, their parents might die or something horrible could happen, so they repeat it. I remember watching on TV once people who had it and this one girl put butter on her bread like, 4 times and kept smearing it until it was even, and another man who was getting up in the morning, had to keep putting on his deoderant over and over. Another girl also as she entered and left the house, she had to tap the top of the door and in her bathroom she had to turn of the left-side of the room's light first and look to the left like she was looking at God, because she was afraid if she didn't do those ritulas, her mother might die.

But anyways, I doubt you have OCD. You're just really in love with that video game, haha. Don't worry. There's this one game on the Disney Channel I won't stop playing sometimes. It's the Hannah Montanna Photography game one where you have to take perfect pictures. I've never made the high score list, and I'm determined too, haha.

Anyways, I hope I helped.


i have this really good friend. we always used to do everything together and everyone knew we were like the best of friends. ever since this year started she always hangs out with other people and never me. i talked to her about it and she said she still likes me and everything but she just doesn't get it at all. i miss hanging out with her but she obviously doesnt miss hanging out with me, and sometimes i feel like she doesnt even care about me...well it doesnt seem like it...should i try to get her back ? how? or should i forget about her? and how? (link)
if she's starting to forget about you, you should just start forgetting about her. i know, it's a little harsh sounding, but still. i would at least try giving her one more chance and talking to her about it and trying to plan out a day with her where you guys can talk and hang out and hopefully improve your friendship again, but if she doesn't try and put forth much of an effort, i would just go and try to make some new friends who'll want to hang out with you. maybe even whenever she notices you're not trying to get her back and that you're making new friends, she'll realize how much she misses you and come back to try and fix everything. she just might be doing it to seem like "oh look at me with all my friends. i'll have to check my schedule to hang." and seem like she's got a bunch of friends and having an amazing time. but like i said, give it another shot, and if it fails, try and move on the best you can. :l i hope i helped.


omg. i am having a coniption [sp*] cause my friend wanted to kno what that scene haircut is that is spiked in the back and kinda short and has long bangs in the front. and i didnt kno but now i like need to kno.

please...help...i kno im weird and i love it (link)
The only name of the haircut I can think of is the "pixie cut". I would try searching it up on Google images and seeing if the haircut you're talking about comes up. Other than that, I don't really think "scene hair" really has names for their haircuts. Everybody I know just calls it "scene hair". Anyways, I hope I helped.


I like this one guy, well call him Joe. Well joe likes me back. But joe is good friends with my ex-boyfriend, who still really likes me and were still friends. My best friend told me not to go out with Joe because my ex would be sad. And she also said she would be sooo mad at me because my ex is so perfect for me(acording to her and no one else). I really wanna date joe but i fear my ex and my bff will me mad. (link)
They will get upset, but if you really like someone, your best friend shouldn't be trying to stop you. She should want you to be happy. And yes, your ex will be sad, [ and i'm not trying to sound mean here ] but what are you supposed to do? Never date anybody ever again until he stops liking you and dates someone else? It might even help him try and get over you. So, talk to your friend about it. Just be like,"Do you want me to be happy? [ her reply: yes ] Then I would be really happy dating Joe. I mean, I know it might make [ your ex ] sad and everything, but I can't just never date another guy ever again. I have to try and move on, and I can't do that if nobody'll let me. It's not like I WANT to see him hurt or anything, it's the last thing I want to do, but I really like Joe and I want to give me and him a shot." You just got to let her know how you feel, and if she still gets really mad at you, she's not being too good a friend at the moment. She should just be happy for you.

I hope everything works out, and I hope I helped.


I like this boy named Steven. and we talk a lot but we've never met (I know him through my ex boyfriend, haha). and we're pretty much eachother's type. But he really really likes my friend who he's never met either. and they barely ever talk. only like twice online. she's really gorgeous but has no personality. and I know he only likes her for her looks and it makes me really sad because we're good for eachother. I'm not ugly, I'm just not as good looking as her. but I'm a lot funnier and nicer.

so, what do I do?
We're all supposed to hang out and I want to tell him. But he's just so shallow, and I hate that. it's just a crush. so should I let it go or tell him to see what he says?

the thing is, he considers me a good friend. and if he knew I liked him, he might not talk to me as much. and I don't want that. but I do like him alot.

help?:) (link)
if i were you, i'd just let him go.
i mean, who needs a boyfriend whose shallow? cause if he's getting into girls only for their looks, when he's dating you, he could be checking out other girls and everything.

and if he's digging her, chances are whenever you tell him, it's just going to make things awkward between you two, so i would just suggest keeping things the way they are. but if you really still want to go after him, then flirt with him a little and make him laugh and make him see that you're the better girl, and then maybe see if his feelings change at all. but like i said, if i were you, i'd just let it go. :l i hope i helped.
