yeah, i'm laura.
freshman, 14 almost 15.
idk what else to say..

advice

ok my hair is curly rite. so.. the straightener i had worked rlly well but i had it for awhile soo its recently stopped working. i got a new one jus a lil before that one stopped workin [its a conair 1 & 5/8 inch. black w/ dark purpleish plates]. i got it at target and when i was lookin at it on their website i saw it had one of the highest ratings but it doesnt straighten my hair! like itll straighten it pretty well but during school it starts to wave & curl up all over. i hate it! i already blow dry my hair as straight as i can before i straighten it, & i use straightenin gel/cream stuff but it doesnt work! i cant get a new straightener bc my mom wont get me another one since i jus got that one & i dont have any money to get one myself. what can i do ?? my hair does NOT look good curly/scrunched at alllll soo thats not an option thx

yeah my friend has a conair and it sucks. dont ever buy a conair. most straighteners do stop working after about 6-7 months and you have to replace them. one reason why it might not work is because it isnt on the right heat setting. most straighteners come with heat settings but if yours doesnt, thats why it isnt working. your hair is curly so most straighteners probably arent the right heat. i reccommend a vidal sassoon brand. they are about $30-$40 depending on the store. make sure its ceramic and has lots of heat settings. it tells you on the back of the package what setting you should put it on for your hair type. i would say save up your money for a while maybe do a few extra chores?? maybe ask for an advance on your allowance (if you get an allowance). hope i helped!

Have have think brown hair, and when i straighten it and go outside ((anywhere even if it is low humidity)) it frizzes up and goes curly. Is there something i can use so it doesn't get this way?

hey i have really frizzy hair too. i have this stuff from garnier fructise thats a leave-in conditioner. its an anti-frizz cream and its supposed to protect against humidity. its in a bright green bottle and about $8. i got mine at wal-mart.

Ok so, my bset friend of my whole life went out with this guy, who is also one of my good friends. They fought all the time when they were going out and he finally dumped her, because apparently he liked me the whole time. Now that he's single he keeps wanting to hang out with me and talk to me all the time and I think my best friend is starting to get jealous. Me and this guy have always been really close, we're like twins and i know if we were a couple it would be really fun and go well. But the problem is, I think i like this guy too. So what should I do? Go out with him and talk to my best friend about it? Or just wave him off and hurt his feelings?

wow this sounds ALOT like my situation. i say you go out with the guy. your friend already had her turn with him so now its yours. your friend shouldnt get mad at you, she should be happy for you. if she gets mad, maybe she isnt the greatest friend. good luck to you :)

I have recently found a cat and her three kittens living under my neighbors shed. Me and my friends have been feeding them cheese and tuna, but we are running low on that. So I was wondering what other things cats likes to eat other than tuna and meat, is there any type of bread they'll like or vegetable. Anything would work..Also the kittens do approach me but everytime I try to pet them they run away but the mother isnt afraid how do I get them to allow me to pet them?

awww how cute!! well friskies wet canned food is like 39 cents a can. my cat LOVES that stuff. the kittens are probably just not used to you yet. if you guve them time they should let you pet them.

I wasnt really sure what catogory this was but this was closest. Im 15/m and have always gotten my hair cut real short. My sister and her friend say long hair on guys is better. What do most girls like best?

me and jess already told you it looks better long!!

okay.. im going out with this guy.
he lived in ohio and i live in colorado.
i have never met him
we met on myspace
im 13 and hes 14..
how long do you think we will last?
honestly?

umm probably about an hour. if you met on myspace..who knows if hes even telling the truth. he could be some perv pretending to be 14. dont give him any info about yourself. internet relationships are stupid i think. youll never see him or talk to him in person.

I play Dance Dance Revolution and I was wondering about how many calories I should try to burn daily? I am 14 and a Male, 5 feet, 4 inches, and I weigh 145 pounds. So far I have managed to burn 500 calories well playing on workout mode (I own MAX version) I was also wondering how accurate the calorie counter is?

i have the same game and i play it daily. i usually do 100 calories a day because i get really tired. i do about 10 songs on standard and see how many calories that is. i wouldnt burn a full pound a day because that would take a LONG time and you would be soooo tired. as for the calorie counter, im not sure how accurate it is but it should be pretty accurate because you put in your weight. the more you weigh, the more you burn.

hope i helped.

i have a problem & i'm hoping someone can tell me how to deal with it. alright...i'm really shy to begin with. everytime i get a boy we break up because i won't open up to him. it's not that at all. i just keep my distance because i don't want to smother him or whatever. i feel that if i call & ask if he wants to do something or that if i walk up to him at school to talk to him that i'm interupting his life. any advice would help. maybe someone could give me some limitation for when to talk to him & when to leave him alone. thank you so much. [:

i would say leave him alone when hes around his friends so you dont interrupt their conversation. if hes by himself, you can go talk to him. maybe sit by him at lunch so you can talk. and yes you can call him and ask him if he wants to hang out. hes your boyfriend he wants to be with you. as for being shy, i used to be really shy too. you just have to be more carefree and not be a..hmm..pussy. dont be afraid to do things or say things. that made me less shy.

hope i helped!!

Ok, so i'm not like tottaly fat or anything. but i am big. my weight is around 160( a little more, but bettween 160 and 170). i want to loose weight but everytime i try, it never works. i've tried to stop eating junk food, but it only works for about a day. and in P.E. we always run a mile and i want to have a good time and not be embarresed infront of others. what do i do?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????

i have Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 which is like a dance game. theres a mode on the game that is called workout mode. it keeps track of how many calories you burn. its really fun and you burn calories while youre doing it. i usually play for about an hour a day. for the disc and dance pad its about $60. you can get it for pretty much any game system. PS2, X-Box, etc.

another thing i would reccomend is joining the YMCA. they have like alot of workout machines. theres a pool you could swim laps in.

hope i helped :)

I am a rising sophomore (f/15) in high school and i think i have gained atleast 10 pounds since last summer. I'm 5'7 and 146 pounds and i know that isnt overweight or anything but i'm very concerned. I dont exercise much and i m not in any team sports. I've tryed dieting but i'm too much of a procrastinator to stick with anything. What should i do to lose a few pounds or to maintain a steady weight and not just gain? I feel so lazy and sluggish sometimes and the only thing i feel like doing is surfing the internet. I dont think its what I eat thats the problem its mainly lack of exercise. Please give me any exercise tips.

yea diets suck. i would say maybe you could do crunches or sit-ups..maybe 50 each a day?? idk if thats too many but w/e you feel comfortable with.

i heard from a friend that this works: lay down flat on your back. spread your legs apart like youre doing the splits. then sit up and touch the floor in between your legs. it really hurts after a while but it works.

hope i helped!!

hi =]
okayyy so i'm 5'7 probably and i weigh 107 pounds but i want to get down to 100 before school starts and don't give me some big speech about how it's not good to loose weight because i'm doing it but alright so... i don't eat that much every now and then and i just drink a lot of water and i work out like...45 minutes every day and i started all this about a week ago so does anyone have any advice on how to lose it fast? i want to be down to 104 by sunday please and thank you =]

sounds like youre doing a good job right now. but i dont think you need to loose any weight. i know you said not to lecture you but really. im like 5'3 and i weigh like 97.5. it doesnt seem like you need to loose any more weight. youre probably really tiny as it is.

i have a problem. during the first meeting of my photography club,my friends and i sat at the second row and liked it.during the second meeting,there are these girls who were at the third row who asked us to move forward to the first row so that their friends could sit at the seconnd row.we moved because we only thought it would be temporary arrangement.but i was wrong.the next meeting,my friends and i sat on the second row for dibs.but those girls came back and asked us once again to move forward.but my friends and i are really uncomfortable in front.but we moved anyway and i saw my friends were annoyed.i wanna do something--but what? and how can i stand up to them without saying something mean? or should i just let them push-over us for nth times???

please help...thanks in advance

♥c0urTneY

the next time you go, try and get the second row before anyone else does. if they ask you to move say sorry but we were here first. and if they start getting bitchy about it just ignore them till they leave.

please help me!!
jess

you didnt do anything illegal so there is no need to be worried when her mom calls the cops. the only thing that could happen is that she would call your parents. sure you might be grounded for a while but oh well. if you feel guilty then go to your mom and tell her what you did. that should make you feel better.

i dont know what to do. here's the background info. I've known this amazing guy for a little over 2 years now. i feel in love with him, and he with me. But he kinda left me. Moved 1000+ miles across the usa. lately we havent been that into eachother. our conversations turned from firey to blah. so i didnt sleep last night. instead i wrote this.

I regret every single day I wake up and he’s not next to me.
It’s tearing me apart
I can’t handle it anymore.
He says we’re drifting apart. I couldn’t agree more.
He blames it on his parents. I blame it on me
I’m not with him. But I’m right here waiting for him just as I promised.
My love has never changed.
And it never will
Because he’s my everything and without him I have nothing.
I am nothing
Every second without him is another tear from my eyes.
He realizes he’s killing me. But I don’t think it’s him. It’s me.
I’m killing me.
I pull out his picture and can’t help but wonder what I had.
But it’s my fault we are drifting.
All mine. Cause I’m not there.
He’s constantly on my mind.
Laying here, sweating, with him on my mind,
It’s hard to get to sleep.
“Thoughts of us kept keeping me awake.”
As the clock ticks on, so does my restless mind.
The distance is killer. It’s like a double edged sword.
It cuts you one way, then as your beginning to heal, it turns around and cuts you deeper.
Separation anxiety and depression walk right next to me without ceasing.
And for this I’m hard to love
And I’m sorry for it. Sorry for being to hard to love.
But all I can do is sit here and apologize for what I should be. And what I’m not.
Turn out the lights, turn up the radio and try.
Try to fall asleep but nothing works.
Because he’s not beside me.
He’s the meaning in my life. He’s the inspiration.
No one needs him more than I need him.
Cause without him, I have nothing. I am nothing.
He’s gonna drive me to drinking.
No. better yet. This fuckin’ distance is gonna drive me to drinking.
Seinfeld® can’t even make me smile right now. (and that’s saying a lot)
At times I feel I will never smile again. For the rest of time, this dark cloud will be over me. Consuming me.
“This is my heart bleeding before you. This is me down on my knees.” This is me in tears with mascara and eyeliner streaked down my face. You’ve gotten me this far.
What more do you want?
You’re my addiction. I am so addicted to you.
And without you, I’m a wreck. A mess.
The empty picture frame sits on my mantel.
I wish that I could fill it with a picture of us.
“You taught me to run, you taught me to fly… you opened me eyes, you opened the door… your love is the music of my heart.”
He came along when I needed him the most.
He has loved me through the difficult times.
He has helped me get through the difficult times.
Just knowing that he loved me was enough to keep going.
I thank him for that. Because without him, I don’t think I would still be here today.
But he deserves more.
He deserves a girl he can hold
One that can kiss his lips
A girl tat he can spend time with.
And make memories with.
His teenage years are supposed to be the best.
But being with me, that’s not the case.
If I had to live my life without him in it, my days would all be empty.
Just talking to him used to brighten my day.
Now, it turns them all to black and white.
Without him, I wouldn’t be here today.
He tells me not to say it. But it’s so true.
I know I wouldn’t have a life without him.
And I love him for that. And about a million other things.
Nothing’s gonna change my love for him. I have always loved him. And always will.
He’s a piece of me.
No. he’s all of me.
If he ever completely leaves me I won’t be able to live.
Won’t be able to breathe.
My heart won’t beat. It’ll be in a million pieces on the floor.
I told myself that he was the one.
The one that could fix my broken heart. And tape it back together.
But if he gives up, so will I.
All I have is memories of him.
I told him that I cherished every moment we spent together.
That was no lie.
Walkin’ the halls of that hotel for a week, together. Walking down to the pool, together. 3 meals a day, for a week, together.
Those memories of him are the only thing that I have. “those endless summer nights”
Sunscreen and chlorine.
Miniskirts and tank tops.
The parting kiss behind the church.
That was the best week of my life. “And I couldn’t ask for more”
It seems that it’s been forever that he’s been gone.
It’s been a little over 200 days since I last saw his gorgeous face.
2 years since he left.
I miss him every second he’s gone.
But how the hell did we wind up like this?
Who’s to blame?
We are drifting apart uncontrollably.
But whose fault is it?
If I was there, this wouldn’t have happened.
“some day, somehow, I’m gonna make it alright…”
But right now, I can’t.
There is nothing I can do.
Not a single damn thing.
He’s there, I’m here. And there’s nothing I can do
Except tell him that I love him. But he knows that.
He knows that I love him.
As long as the sun shines I’ll love him.
“you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone.”
And I couldn’t agree more.
Saying goodbye to him was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
I’m sick of crying.
Crying because I miss him so much.
The 1,000+ miles is killer.
Serial.
But I don’t want to let him go. Cause what if he’s the one?
I’ve tried to get over him before.
It didn’t work.
I CAN’T GET HIM OUTTA MY MIND!
As the saying goes, then maybe he’s supposed to be there.
Is he the one?
The one I can trust to pick my shattered heart off the ground, dust it off and put it back together?
I know he is.
I know he is the one.
I know he is different than all the others.
I’ve tried so hard to mend this relationship.
“I’ve tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end it doesn’t even matter.”
But no matter what I do, I can’t fix this relationship.
It’s all my fault, but I can’t fix it.
I miss how we used to be.
Miss the love that we had.
The fire in his eyes.
The passion in his voice.
I miss him.
But “I’ve gotta take a little time. A little time to think it over”.
Cause I don’t want to get hurt again.
There has been so much heartache in my life that I can’t take it again.
I want to be able to say that he’s the one.
But I’m not sure.
No. scratch that.
I know he’s the one.
The one I should spend my life with.
But we are separated.
Separated by land or lack of contact? Or both?
They say that love will find a way. That it can break through anything.
But I’m not so sure.
I’m off his top 8,
He’s off mine.
Drifting.
Farther and farther apart.
Figured writing all this shit down would help me.
Help me to get it all off my mind and fall asleep.
Give me peace of mind. At least for one second.
I have 2 hours until the alarm goes off.
2 hours until I have to get up.
“Just remember I love you and it’ll be all right”
I hope.

so what do you think i should do?

Wow it's obvious that your in love with this guy and you dont want to let him go. Maybe you could go visit him once in a while. Try to "spice up" your conversations a little bit. Tell him how much you love him.

hey everyone.. ok well i went in my friend's myspace... and the first time i got in her account she didn't care... but then the 2nd time i did it she got mad at me... && my brother found out because i forgot to sign out.. so yeah && my parents also know... but they think i asked her but i didn't and now she's mad at me and i called her and apologized like a million times... && she said that she can't trust me anymore and she doensn't want me calling her anymore or talk 2 me ever again so what should i do?

hmm your friend souns a bit like a drama queen to me. if she didnt care the first time she shouldnt care the second time. if my friend went on my myspace i would be like "okay just dont do that anymore". i wouldnt explode and go off on my friend. shell eventually get over it and if she doesnt in a couple weeks than shes not a good friend to have and forget about her.
