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,

Hey! 14/f. I'm just wondering if anyone has every been through a situation like this: well I'm a freshman in HS now and I'm kinda worried about my lunch period. School hasn't started for me yet but I'm kinda concerned. My school starts at 7:15am, which means I'm going to have to eat breakfast before I go on the bus, which will end up being about 6:15-6:30 in the morning. My lunch period is going to be at 12:35pm. This means I will have to wait almost 6 hours to eat...and I'm kinda concerned because last year I could barely last 3-4 hours. Well I can't change my schedule or switch lunch periods, the school has already made it clear that we have to stick with the schedule they gave us. I just wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on what I can eat that will fill me up for 6 hours that I can prepare in the morning/or the night before school. Or any snacks I could jam in the hallway in-between classes. Thanks in advance!

I have this problem. My lunch period doesn't start till around the same time as you, but I find it a good thing. Because then by the time I have to eat, I'm starving so I eat whereas sometimes I barely eat any lunch. But if you really want to eat something during the day, pack a little bag of saltine crackers or graham crackers or a little piece of poptart in a baggie and keep it in there and just have a piece when you're on your way to the bathroom or your locker. I hope I helped.

15 f missouri if that helps
ok so i have been dating this guy for over 4 months now, and things have been going good, except latley he won't talk to me or anything. He says that it is just because he is tired, which is totally understandable, but he hasn't talked to me in like over a week (since school started) and always blaming it on he is tired. I am kinda confused on what to do, i like him alot, i just want to be able to talk to him and have this relationship that we had before. He plays football and that takes alot of time, but you think he would even be able to say hi in between classes or something. I dunno i think that is all the info needed, if you need more leave something in my inbox. but please help me i don't know what to do
~Ash (link)
you need to have a serious talk with your boyfriend. just be like," i know you're tired and football takes alot of time out of your hands. but i want to have the relationship we used to, where we talked and stuff. i mean, i miss you and i don't even get to say hi to you in the hallways or anything." [ or something like that ] Just let him know what you're feeling. Hopefully, you two'll try and figure out a schedule to talk and stuff and try and resolve this whole matter, but if he doesn't put forth much of an effort, i would consider taking a break from him or something, so hopefully he'll either realize what might happen and try to fix it then. but if nothing still happens, i would just break up with him. as much as you like him, you need a guy who'll put forth an effort and will want to talk to you and try to find the time to. i hope i helped.


Hey iam 17 years old and i just got a puppy for my b-day last week and he cries every night and my mom just had to go and put his cage outside my bedroom window and her cries are so loud that it keeps me up at night and I practically fall asleep in school what should I do? (link)
I don't know if you already did, but try putting his cage into your room. If he still begins crying, let him up on your bed and try and let him sleep with you. He's only a puppy, so he's not used to being locked up in a cage, and sleeping with you'll probably make him feel comfortable and safe with you, while the cage might be making him feel scared and locked in and seperated from everyone. And then during the day [ while everyone's working and in school ] while he's in his cage, then he can learn to get used to the cage and all. And just make sure he has toys and food and water and everything in his cage.


Also, take a look at this site:

I'm a girl and I'm 13 if that helps.....


Well see my friend always has boyfriends and her boyfriends are usually gorgeus! I just turned 13 and I had one boyfriend and he just wasn't the person I wanted to date. Other than him I haven't had any other boyfriends. Me and my friends all went to a new school (including the guys from my old school) this year and so this year I'm acting different, more mature. But the guys just don't seem to notice. I try to wear cute clothes and I'm always nice to them and I don't put on a lot of make up because I really don't need to. But I just don't know what to do! My friend isn't super-model pretty or anything she's just "so-so". I'm not overweight or anything and I have a nice tan and well I just don't know why guys don't like me? PLEASE HELP! (link)
Like all the other girls said, you might be trying too hard. I don't know how you act around them, but some girls whenever they try to dress all cute and flirt and everything it shows that they're trying to get the guy to like them and it turns them off. [ I'm not saying you ARE, it's just a possibility ].

Also, sometimes guys just like other girls, it happens. They might prefer blondes, green eyed people, funny people, serious people, smart girls, dumb girls, different guys like different types. And whenever they meet your friends, their personalities just might mesh together well and they find they're really attracted to your friend. She might make them laugh alot, or she just might be real comfortable to hang out with and talk to. [ And I'm not saying you're not ], but guys sometimes don't need all the cute outfits and makeup and nice tan and all teh flirting and attention and everything. Some girls just get guys to like them by treating them like a friend and letting the feelings develop later and not trying so hard to make them like them.

But.

You ARE only 13, guys are still sort of immature at 13, and you don't NEED a boyfriend at 13. I mean, you're only young once. So just hang out with friends, have fun, and try and meet some other guys and just see if the right one comes along whose personality meshes best with yours. :]

14/female

Hey,okay so I just found out this girl that i "thought" was my friend went behind my back and told this girl who wants to fight me a whole bunch of stuff. Cause me and her used to you know just talk about how she hated me and i was like i could care less and stuff. And i am extremley mad right now! does anyone know how i can confront her (my so called friend) please i need help soon and fast!!


-AberFitchhyy- (link)
Well, first of, you need to calm down and just take some breaths. It won't help if you're all raging mad or anything. Just call your friend or sit down with her sometime and ask her why she would go and do something like that to you, especially to someone who wants to fight with you and hates you. If she just starts creating more drama and getting all upset and not trying to resolve the situation, I would just back off of her and the other girl and just leave it be. You shouldn't devote any time to drama, it's a waste of time and of your life. And I would suggest not hanging around with that girl anymore if she's just gonna backstab you to people who hate you.

I think my granny might have ocd becouse whenever she sees a bed unmade she has to go make it it just bothers her,she freaks out if there's a piece of lint on my nightgown is that ocd? (link)
Here is a site I found for people with OCD. Check it and see if some of the syptoms on the page are familiar with anything your grandma does:

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/anxiety.cfm#anx3

But from the way I'm readng, it does say people with OCD have a tendency to hate having germs and dirt and things around, but they wash their hands repeatedly and fix things over and over again and if they didn't repeat it over again and just tried to ignore it, horrible of images such as their parents dying or something would fill in their head and they'd think that if they didn't repeat it their parents might die or something so then they repeat it over and over again and it slowly becomes a daily routine.

But the way you describe it, if she's just fixing the bed once and everything, it just sounds like she's a very orderly person and likes things to be in place and extremely neat. But like I said, just check out the site, see if your grandma has similiar symptoms and maybe even take her to a doctor or someone to see if she has it. I hope I helped.

i have a major crush on a kid in my class, we hang out alot but whenever im around him im totally nervous and cant talk!does anyone anyone have any advice thawt wouldnt make me so nervous around him ?!?!? (link)
Well, just think of him like you'd talk to a friend. But don't treat him like he's just a friend, too. If you're real nervous about talking to him face-to-face, then just start talking to him over the internet and the phone first until you get a little less nervous. Then, in school or wherever, just take deep breaths before you go and talk to him. It's alright to be a little nervous. You never know, he could be just as nervous as you are. I hope I helped.


I Love the quilted chanel totes.

http://www.prestogallery.com/graphics/191_pd21947_1.jpg
^image of the one I want..

But the closest boutique is in Boston, and I rarely get out there. Does anyone know a website or store in or around providence (Rhode Island) that sells AUTHENTIC bags? Please, don't recommend a fake. It just sickens me. (link)
Like all the others said, I would suggest looking around on Ebay, cause I just tried googling up your bag, but a bunch of different chanel bags come up and not the one in that picture. Also, since you can't go out to the boutique in Boston, try going to the store's site and seeing if they have it in stock and just order it over the internet. I hope I helped.


okay my cousin is a sophmore in HS and he may be ignoring me becuase he's busy but, when I had to get something out of my locker and he was out ,we all had a ten minute break, I tried to talk to him even when noone was around and he ignored me, he wont even look at me, i've even tied to ask him why he wont talk to me but he turned around and almost slapped me, but my best friends (whos a boy who I like) pullled me away, and threatend him if he tried to do it again he would punch him, and hes only in 6th grade!!!! But sometimes i feel so mad at my cousin I could slap him because he wont talk let alone LOOK at me. (link)
i would try IMing him again or attempting to talk to him again [ of course have your guy friend with you again incase he tries to do it ]. can you think of anything you might've done that might've upsetted your cousin? if nothing works and he keeps ignoring you and trying to slap you, i would just stay away from him. he sounds rude and almost slapping you? that's even more rude. i hope i helped.


This one is for girls. Do girls like guys that are cute or hot. Not both, one or the other. (link)
i would say cute.
because whenever i think guys are cute,
i think they're funny, sweet, cute face, cute personality.

hot guys.
they tend to just be hot.
nothing else, really.
and most of them can be jerks,
because they know they're hot.
and 93049034 girls go after them.


i hope i helped.


How do i tell him how much i hate that!? she likes him back though (yes me and my bro are twins lol) help!!!

ps i dont wanna hert either of theirfeelings.. unless it comes to that lol (link)
Well, even though you hate it, you should still be happy for your brother and your best friend. They both found someone that they like.

I know you may hate it at first, but just try and get along with it as best as you can, cause either you get mad and let them know how you feel and they get upset at you and a possible friendship is lost and she dates your brother so she'd be over your house anyway, just not hanging out with you.

OR.

You could let them be happy, you guys still hang out, then they can hang out, and you guys could even all hang out together and it all works out for everyone.

You just have to put yourself in your best friends shoes. Say if she had a brother and you really really liked him, and he liked you back and you wanted to date him and your best friend just came along and was like,"NO. YOU CAN'T." you'd probably get sad and upset, right? And I doubt you'd want that to happen.

I hope I helped.


hi im a 15 year old guy that likes this 15 year old girl ive told her in the past how i feel but she says she just wants to b friends and not ruin our great friendship..i told her theres nothin to worry about and i wouldnt ever let anything get between us...ive tried to go out withb other girls but none of them compare i want to tell her and get her to change
Thanks in advance for your help (link)
Well, you can't really get people to change. They have to decide if they want to. So just try talking with her about it. Be like,"I know you said you're afraid our friendship might get ruined, but trust me. I would never let that happen. Even if we did break up which I pray we never would, we would still be great friends because I'd want to have you around still, then nothing at all. And you never know. If we date, our friendship could even become greater and improve. Just please, consider it and try and givve us a chance to be something greater than just "great friends"." [ or something like that ] And jsut give her some time to think about it, and don't pressure her or anything. If she still sticks with her answer, just continue being friends. There's really nothing more you can do to change her mind.

I hope she says yes though, and I hope I helped.


Why don't most girls like it when guys say that they are hot. Isn't that a compliment? What's the big deal? (link)
Whenever guy's usually say the term "you're hot", yes, it can be considered a compliment, but girls take it as a way of their sexual appeal, and only their sexual appeal. Like, "i like your body" "i want to get together with you", etc. And that's not too complimenting to girls if a guy's basically telling you all he likes is your body. And especially if you have just met the guy and barely talked to him and all he says is "you're hot", that basically feels like he's just looking at your body if he hasn't even tried talking to you and getting to know you.

Girls just don't understand why guys can't be like,"you're pretty, you're cute, you're beautiful, you're gorgeous", etc. It's a much nicer way to compliment a girl, and it may or may not include the body, but girls know you're talking about their face and everything.

And yes, girls say guys are hot too, but I don't think guys really mind as much. Some might, but I don't know of any. But that's why girls also prefer to call guys "handsome", "attractive", "good looking", "cute", etc. since THEY don't like being called hot, they don't call guys it either.

I hope I helped.


okay, i have a question. So i've been dating someone for 4 years now. i, no questions asked, love him to death right. He was my first in everything but i wasn't his first in bed. After all these years he won't tell me who he first slept with. If i really think about it really it makes me a bit mad. He says he wants to at least keep something to himself. What do you guys think i really think i have the right to know, it makes me mad that i don't know. I rate well. ;) (link)
Well, I can see why you'd be angry about not knowing. The curiousity would get to me to eventually, and then I'd REALLY want to know. But I have to say, it just might not be your place to ask about it. Some people don't like sharing the intimate and personal details of their life with people. Just like you might like having a secret all to yourself that nobody knows of, he might too. I just wouldn't be too persistant on it, because he might eventually wind up getting mad and bothered by it.

But there might be other reasons why he won't tell you. It could've been somebody you possibly know, somebody maybe you didn't like, etc. Just ask him that at least. Be like,"I know you won't tell me, and I respect that, it's just, is it someone I know or something? Or someone I possibly hated which may be the reason you won't share it with me?"

Maybe a little later in life he might feel more comfortable with telling you, you'll just have to wait and see, but for now, you're just going to have to respect his decision.

I hope I helped.


hey thanks for your advice but i wanna know, what do i say to my boyfriend? about the sex thing cos i dont know what to say to him, he might think hes done sumthing to change my mind. Please Help, WHAT DO I TELL HIM???? (link)
just be honest with him. be like,"___, i really don't feel comfortable with having sex with you yet. and if you really love me like i love you, you'll respect my decision and just wait for me until i'm ready. it's not you, you didn't do anything or say anything that made me change my mind. i just thought about it last night and felt i wasn't fully comfortable with doing it. i'm sorry."

you should only have sex whenever you're ready mentally and psychically 100% and you're safe and you do it with the one you love.

and if he is the good boyfriend he should be, he should understand and everything'll be good. but if he gets all mad and doesn't talk to you and possibly breaks up with you, it just sounds like he might've been wanting a hook up, which, i don't think is the case.

i hope i helped.



Well, Last night I had a dream I saw a shooting star and wished on it. And i don't remember what i wished. Does my dream mean anything?
(link)
http://www.petrix.com/dreams/s.html


well, i'm not sure if you pick the two words apart like shooting as one word and star as the other, because i think shooting on that site means like, with a gun but i'll put it down anyway.


shooting: Destroying aspects of self. There is a deep wound within yourself.


star: Celestial object. Self-luminous. Spiritual awakening.


but i'm not so sure i would take the shooting part into consideration because if they mean shooting of a gun [ which they probably do ] THEN i can see how destroying aspects of yourself and such comes into place, but i doubt from a shooting STAR.

so "self-luminous" means

SELF-LUMINOUS: 1. Emitting light, especially emitting self-generated light.


i hope i helped.


theres this girl in my school, she is a good friend of mine and i guess i kinda like her too and lately she has been gettin alot more plaayful with me is this even a remote sign she mite like me back?

and how can yoou tell if a girl likes u? (link)
yes, that could be a sign that she likes you, or she's just a flirtatios kind of girl. whenever a girl likes you, she either laughs alot, tries to make you laugh/impress you, she smiles alot, she hugs you alot, she tries to grab your attention, she looks at you alot [possibly stares], she gets nervous and shy, [sometimes what happens with me is my face turns red], etc. after awhile if you guys continue to flirt back and forth and you're pretty positive you like her and that she likes you, try asking her out sometime. whats the worse that can happen? just be like,"___, i really like you, and i'm not totally sure what you feel about me, but i was just wondering if you wanted to go out with me." and if she says yes, great! if she says no, at least be good friends because it's better then nothing, right? i hope i helped.


I'm a 13 yr old girl and really like this 13 yr old guy and he flirts with me a little bit, but everyone says that he likes my bestfriend. Obviously he denies it. He knows i like him and i don't know weather to like him or not to because he might ask out my best friend?!!!
always as sweet as sugar,
candygrlxoxo87 (link)
Everyone says alot of stuff, but it doesn't necessairily mean it's true. So, if he's flirting with YOU and not your best friend, I'd say he likes you, not her. And also, you didn't mention if your best friend likes him or not, but if she doesn't, would it matter if you asked him out then? Cause she wouldn't be hurt or anything if you decided to. I would talk to him about it, and try and ask him out. Just be like,"___, I really like you and I don't know how you feel about me exactly because I don't know if you really like my best friend or not, but I'm just wondering if you would go out with me cause it'll keep bugging me if I don't ask and find out." And if he says, yes, great! If he says no, then just remain good friends. Better friends then nothing, right? I hope I helped.


since summer is almost over and you don't wear shorts and capris anymore, do you have to shave in the fall and winter? is it a 'must'? thanks! (link)
Haha, it isn't a 'must'. If you don't feel like shaving your legs, it's not like anybody's going to see or anything. I shave my legs in the winter though, but that's just cause I don't want stuble or anything. And sometimes there might be a formal affair like a Snow Ball or something, but it only takes a couple of minutes to shave your legs, so it's your decision. No 'must' though, I hope I helped.
