about

After break that lasted like a year, I'm back.


Um yeah, anyways.
My name is Amanda.
I am 16.
I will try to answer your questions to the best of my ability, but be warned, I am brutally honest.
So I might come off as being mean, but sometimes the truth hurts.
I'm not saying that to be mean, because I'm really a nice person.

And if you plan on sending me a question in my inbox, please use proper English.
I probably will not respond if you type LyKe DiS or IN ALL CAPS or if y00 cnt spl if yur lyfe dpended on it.

Have a nice day! :D

advice

I have so many things going wrong with myself. But I am not sure if I am sick or not. There are so many explanations out there for everything that I don't know anymore. Here are a few things.
1. I cut, usually about 2 times a month.
2. I wash my hands and clean obsessivly until the tension goes away that I feel beforehand, and if I don't do this then something bad will happen.
3. I pull out the ends of my hair on urge.
4. I feel tension and stress about everything.
5. I have hallucinations throughout the day. I see presence that I know isn't there and I think my mind plays so many tricks on me.
6. I have suicidal thoughts.
7. My mood can change from anything. It cam change if someone makes me mad, or I think about the past, or it can vary from a position I am in like the way I am sitting or standing or talking can put me in weird moods.
8. I am so tired all the time and get depressed easy.
9. I think someone is out to kill me all the time.
10. I am very withdrawl and find it hard to express myself.
11. I have a hard time dealing with getting close to people and intamicy.
12. I have alot of fears of being rejected and feel like I am a failure all the time. That Im not important.
13. I have lost alot of weight over the past year due to lack of eating.(eating issues)
14. I find myself crying for no reason sometimes.
15. I suffer from sleep paralysis and have obessions with evil things.
16. I am never happy during the day or during summer. I think I might have seasonal depression in this area.

See, so many things are wrong? I am so confused and I can't think straight. I want help so bad, or some advice on what's going on.

It seems like you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD)

Okay, My name is melissa, and i'm fifteen. Theres this guy at my school who keeps calling me fat. He says that i'm obese and that i should just stop eating!!! The problem is, that i'm 5,4 and i'm 105 pounds. I dont think that's fat, and all my friends say i'm stick thin....but, i dont know. If he calls me that, do other people think that? And...if not, how do i get him to stop?

Please help! I rate high!

~Melissa~

Well, according to this Body Mass Index calculator I am looking at, it says you are fairly thin for your height. If you want to see for yourself, go to www.am-i-fat.com And is this kid whose saying your fat, fat? Because if he is he's obviously just jealous since you're so skinny. Or he likes you. It is proven that guys pick on girls when they like them. But anyway..Don't let him get to you.

I hope this helped =]

There this new guy in Early childhood class and he is the only guy in it and he lives next to me.I REALLY like him and I told my friend that and she is all over him.Then I asked her if she liked him and she said ewww no!!! I cant get my mind off of him.I think he likes my friend because no doubt she is really pretty.But everytime we see each at home he says hi in a really hot way and smiles and then he goes hola to me.He is soo hot.Should I make the first move or should I try to forget about him.I rate high!!!

Well you have two options. You can wait a while and take time to get to know him. Or you can come out right now and tell him how you feel.

Alright, so there's this girl, and I love her. I mean, I really LOVE her. During the school year, I didn't really care, I liked her as a friend, but everyone was convinced that she liked me. Even my best friend once said to her, "You know, you really look like (my name)'s girlfriend!" But then during the summer I realized that I really did love her, so I told her that, she said she like me as a friend. But I couldn't stop thinking about her. Then, a month later, I emailed her again saying that I couldn't get over her, and she said that what she had previously said, she honestly didn't know, her current relationship was pretty much over. So I knew there was hope, and I was sooo happy about that, but I still felt like I needed more. So I asked her to the carnival there as friends, and that was pretty cool. We had a pooled fund of tickets, and we ran out of all of them except for one... whe shared cotton candy... etc. So I'm nearly positive she likes me, but she just won't admit it to herself. How can I convince her? Thanks!

You just have to ask her to be your girlfriend! If you don't ask her, then another guy may come around and get her. And if she says that she still likes you as a friend, just give her time..maybe a few weeks..and ask her out again.

Good Luck! =)

What is a good hair straightinger (sp?)? I have very thick hair and my conair straightinger just doesn't work for me and more. What's a good brand that will work for my kind of hair? Thank you in advanced.

I also have thick hair. There is a shampoo & conditioner called "Simply Straight" by Marc Anthony. Wash you hair with that in the shower. Let your hair dry and then I reccomend the Gold Ceramic straighteners by Conair. These are the things that really worked for me.

I hope this helped!

alright well my hair is getting dried and my ends are splitting mostly because i straighten it like everyday. i use this gel stuff for when i get out of the shower so it can protect my hair from getting damaged but im guessing its not working... does anyone know of anything to use for my hair..?

Well when you get split ends you should go get a hair trim because if you dont they will start forming really nasty knots in your hair.

ok this is more of a question for the guys...but mabe the girls can answer it too

why do guys lie?!?!

i have a guy friend and hes awesome! but he ALWAYS tell me he loves me and i KNO hes lieing...he tells every girl he loves her...and he goes out with every girl...and cheats on every girl

i kno ALL guys dont do this...but i just wanna know why some do

They do this because they want to get in your pants. Guys just aren't as sensitive. They will do anything to get what they want and then they leave without knowing how hurt you are.

As for your friend, he might say that in meaning that he loves you as a friend.

I hope this helped.

some how me and him started talking about sex! he wants to have sex with me cause he likes me alot! and i like him so i cant turn him down! im scared though.its not cause im still a virgin its because im afraid ill get pregnant! i know alot of teens loose there virginity and most of them dont get pregnant the first time. but im afraid beacuse if i get pregnant then my parents will kill me. i dont want to make another mistake because i ahppen to make alot of those! so can u please help me choose what to do? and what condom is the best? and if i do have sex with him with a condom what the percent chance i can get pregnant! thanx so much i hope u can help me! i rate high

If he really liked you he would understand that you don't feel ready for sex. If he likes you just to get in your pants he's not worth it.

school's starting soon and i have no friends there. i usually follow this group around b/c i have nobody else to. they never talk to me ever. nobody does. i'm like an outcast with no friends. i try talking & they talk back, but then it just doesn't work out. i've tried everything, i can't make friends. i make friends real easily outside school b/c i'm outgoing, but in school, i try being outgoing and everyone blocks me out. i can't move to a new school. i don't know what to do. please help i need friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just be yourself! If you can't find any friends that like you for who you are then there is no point in having friends at all! If you just talk to people and be yourself, there will be at least 1 person who likes you for who you are and you will become friends!

i'm 13 and my mom won't let me get pierced ears. the problem is....earrings are my favorite jewelry & i'm obsessed with looking at them & buying them (except i can't because i can't wear them!!). so i have to wear clip-ons and they don't have a big variety and they come off easily or break easily, etc... i really want pierced ears, i think i'm probably the only 13 year old girl i've ever met who has no pierced ears (except ones that didn't want them, and i've only met one girl like that). i know i shouldn't give in to peer pressure but ever since i was really little, i saw this woman wearing earrings & i wanted to wear those SO badly! my mom says i'm not responsible or w/e. we have a housekeeper & i did chores FOR her and proved i was responsible and i have contacts and hamster and i clean my room a lot and EVERYTHING but she still won't let me have one! sometimes i tend to be somewhat irresponsible like every normal girl but then she points it out AND IGNORES ALL THE RESPONSIBLE THINGS I DO! idk what to do, anyway i could convince my mom about pierced ears or somehow do it at home??? thanks i rate

Perhaps you can work and save up enough money to get your ears pierced. Maybe THAT will show your mom that you want something and you are willing to work for it.

I was walking thru the mall and a lady with a hair straightener stand stopped me and asked if she could straighten my hair to advertise her profuct. She said "this is a ceramic hair straightener that the salons use. it doens't damage your hair and it actually brings out the softness in your hair. you can get this at a salon for $200 but we're selling it here for $99." I was like WTF! 99 DOLLARS?! I loooooved the straightener though... So I was wondering whats the difference between a ceramic one and a regular one? Can you get a decent one at CVS or walmart for under say, 20 bucks?

Ceramic straighteners are the ones with the gold plates. They always seem to work better for my hair. Other straighteners have silver plates.

hey, ok, so i like this girl, shes one year younger than me. i got pretty good game, but she doesnt seem to get it, should i give it up, or what?

Well, did you tell her that you like her? And maybe you have to be dropping more hints and then she will get it.

Good luck!

What are some really easy ways to make money besides babysitting?

I seem to bring in the cash when I mow lawns. I usually get $10 a lawn and sometimes more depending on the size. I mean sure it takes some work but it's worth it in the end.

Some books that I've read that show about a teenagers hard life are:

Go Ask Alice

OR

Crank

I found these to be really good books.

Im confused: someone who absolutely meant so much to me, my best friend (a girl. im a girl too) started to be a little (so for being harsh) but a jerk.. we would have plans made for a week and then a day before she would cancle and go out and do something with this other girl (lets name her "freeda" :-D... it even got to where if me and her had plans to go to the movies she would invite "freeda" without telling me (even though I thought it was just goign to be us) Its starting to get annoying and i dont know what to do?

I've been in this situation before. Just sit her down,you and her only,no "freeda". Say to her, "I know you really like "freeda" but since you started hanging out with her, it feels like you are leaving me out in the dust. I mean, you are always cancelling our plans just to go hang out with her. And when I make plans with you, I just want to hang out with you,not with 'freeda'"

Hopefully she will understand where you are coming from.

I hope everything works out =)

Would you consider it healthy if an 18 year old girl is not (and has never been) sexually active and doesn't masturbate?

Ofc course it's healthy!! Some people just choose not to masturbate. And if you don't feel ready for sex then there's no reason why you should. So yes this is perfectly healthy!
