If you don't eat at all and you throw up every time you do, I'm sorry tell you you do have an eating disorder. You've gotta start eating right, or you're just gonna end up malnourished and sick, not skinny. When you start modeling, the people will - if you need it - give you a diet to keep you think, I think. If you got into the modeling biz, you're probably gorgeous anyway, so why bother trying to make yourself a stick? Talk to someone about this. Your mom, your dad, anyone. Tell them how you feel and they'll help you out.

If I were you, I'd find out FROM HIM if he actually likes you or not. If not, don't waste your time with a druggie like that who won't remember you the next day. If he does, stick with him. Maybe it'll work out to be a great relationship =)
As for the age thing, I dated an 18 year old when I was 14, and my current boyfriend is a year and a half older than me. Age is a state of mind, and just a number. ^_^

You just have to swallow your fear and nerves and plunge, or in this case, kiss. Lol. If you don't like a guy, don't kiss him. If you do, go for it. I used to get major butterflies every time my old bf was about to kiss me. The butterflies stopped when I met my current guy. So just get rid of your nerves and dive in!
Good luck!
-Siren =)

If you think she likes you, tell her how you feel about her. If she does like you, she'll be extremely happy and you'll have made her day. Girls love it when guys confess and they don't make us chase them around to figure it out. I had to drag it out of my boy...Lol. Go for it!
-Siren =)

Possibly, but it would also mean that you would be malnourished and that's a bad thing, so I don't reccomend the cessation of eating.
-Siren =)

Make it sex all about her. Concentrate on making her feel good. Try a massage beforehand. Girls generally love to be touched.
Or, find out what she wants beforehand, and set it all up. Hope I helped!
-Siren =)

You're perfectly normal, dear, and you're not doomed in any way, shape, or form. Lol. Just wait for the right girl. She'll come along. Don't go kissing a bunch of girls you don't like just to be able to say you've kissed a girl. I didn't get my first kiss until i was a freshman in high school, and I'd had boyfriends before that. *Shrug*
-Siren =)

Aww...Lol
My boyfriend kissed me on the cheek for, like 2 weeks when we were first dating, and I had to practically tell him to kiss me on the lips. Gather up your courage and kiss him before you change your mind about being shy. That's how I do a lot of things, lol. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and plunge...Good luck!
-Siren =)

My boyfriend has that...He can dream little scenes, remember them, and then like a week later they happen. I've only had that happen twice.
My dreams are weird, then I analyze the symbols and I can predict things that are going to happen. I've never been wrong so far.
Keep a dream journal. That's what I do. That's a really useful ability. Don't try to get rid of it.
-Siren =)

Highly doubtful unless you're allergic to caffeine. I have a friend who has that problem.
-Siren =)

Menopause is basically when a woman's menstrual cycle stops. It took my mom awhile to stop totally, but she did. Now she has hot flashes all the time, lol.
-Siren =)

It will stop when you've been menopausal for awhile. From what I hear, menopause sucks. My mom tells me she'd rather have periods again, and she hated them. Lol.
-Siren =)

That's really mean of them to say all those things. However, you are a little underweight, but certainly not abnormal. I reccomend bulking up a little, but still be healthy while doing it.
-Siren =)

Guys are idiots, it's a general rule. I'm sorry you had to find that out the hard way, but it's true. You just need to relax and realize that he is just a minimal part of your life. Hope I helped a bit.
-Siren =)

It might just be baby fat. You're probably also big-boned, which accounts for the "looking fat" part. Don't lose weight, you're fine the way you are. I was your size when I was 14, and if anything, I was underweight then.
-Siren =)

Your BMI is 16.something. Anything under 18.5 is underweight, so my dear, I'm sorry to say you are underweight. Don't worry so much about weight. You could stand to gain, like, ten pounds at least.
-Siren =)

You're feeling tired and lightheaded and your face is pale because you're malnourished. You don't have enough nutrients in your body. I know the symptoms - in 9th grade, I was really stressed and I barely ate. I wasn't anorexic, I just forgot to eat. Lol. I dropped to 100 pounds and I got headaches, fatigued and lightheaded all the time. Start eating a little more. Eat light things at first, like dry cereal, for instance. Just a little bit, and see if you can keep that down. If you can't, drink diluted apple juice or something like that. You'll at least be getting a little bit of helpful stuff.
You do need to tell someone. You're getting dangerously unhealthy. You know you need help. That's good. Talk to your mom, or your dad, and tell them what you told us. They should help you. Good luck
-Siren =)

Hiding your emotions sucks, doesn't it? If you really want this to move in a forward direction, you should tell her how you feel about her, but let her know that you don't want to jeapordize the friendship. TELL her that she means the world to you. She'll probably think it's all sweet and romantic. Some of the best relationships come from a pair of close friends. Give it a shot. What do you have to lose? You're already friends, and from the sound of it, I doubt she'd get all panicky and stay away from you if you told her you liked her. In all honesty, she might actually suspect it. Guys generally have trouble hiding their feelings. Either that, or girls are just really perceptive. So go for it, Romeo! Good luck!
-Siren =)

You've gotta just force yourself. Every time you want to cut, go draw instead or something. It is an addiction, I've had friends in your situation. You've gotta fight the urges. It's just like forcing yourself to go on a diet, or whatever. Good luck
-Siren =)

Good idea. It was getting a bit monotonous.

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.

I've been a member since 2004, and since I signed up, I've gone through quite a lot and learned quite a lot from it. I'm here to give guidance where I had none; no one should have to go through the difficulties I went through alone.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that there are no stupid questions except the ones left unasked, so, please, keep an open mind, heart, and mouth.
