My friend told me you gave great advice and i truly need some. Alright, well my best friends are all into ghetto rap and gangster and all that crap that i hate. It feels like i have nothing in common wiht them anymore except like where we shop and stuff. It's sad cause these are my best friends but were growing apart because of MUSIC! I know it sounds stupid but its true, like theres nothing to talk about anymore and when i go over to there houses i have a horrible time and just want to go home. Please help me, i dont want to lose my best friends over this little situation.

signed,
rap is crap. (link)
well what kind of music do you listen to? maybe you can see if your friends will listen to that kind of music some times.
what dont you like about rap? do you like any rap?
i know a ton of people that dont like rap, but i love it. but i also like a ton of other types of music. i'll listen to anything. so maybe your friends are open to other types of music? try them. be like "hey, you should listen to .. .. it's so good!"
or you could talk to your friends. be like hey, i feel like we are kindof falling apart. is something going on?

it's natural for friends to fall apart. it happens all the time whether we want it or not. but you can hold on to your friend ship with them. and try and try to talk about toher things. like shopping (you said ya'll shop in the same place) boys/girls, what's going on in your life/in their life, family stuff.

friends fall drift apart from the stupidest things, and music will be a silly thing stop being friends with.

but you can try to get new friends, that's a really good thing to do. just dont dump your old friends.

that's what i'd do. get new friends, and keep the old ones. you can have more then one group of friends. the more, the better.

best of luck ♥


i'm trying to get in better shape and lose a lot of weight because i'm not the smallest person in the world that's for sure. i want to try and make my stomach a little thinner...i have really strong abs just a little too much fat haha. and i'm also trying to thin out my thighs and my face a little bit. i eat cereal for breakfast and i've been trying to eat a salad for lunch everyday it's hard but i'm trying to keep it up. i also do 200 crunches every night. any other suggestions?

(link)
first of .. cereal might not be the best thing to eat. maybe you could try fruit, yogurt, you want to have 6 dairys a day.

do you have a YMCA or some place around you. that you could become a member and then use thier stuff. because that would be the best thing to do.

if not, i would run, and do crunches but go up 10 a night. and for your face, that just goes away with getting older and losing weight.

you should only eat 3 meals a day, with 2 snacks.

if you can eat one hour after waking up . and no later then 7 p.m that's good too.

it's all about porportions . that's the key.



Hey i go to Lionville Middle School and in 8th grade. I was just wondering if you can help me out by giving me advice on what to do if the guy you like is going out with your best friend. I like him alot and dont want any one to get hurt or my friend get mad at me. I dont know whether to come clean or just not say anything and pretend like i dont care. Please help me.


(link)
what's more important:
this boy or your friend.

if you say this boy, then tell you friend. tell this boy. and then see what happenes.

if you say this friend then your just going to have to ignore your feelings. and wait for them to break up . and a while after they breakup if you still have feelings for him, then you may date him.



Lately ive been feeling really down on myself. I feel like im not nearly as pretty as my friends.. and I'm positive thats what everyone thinks. Know how I can bring my confidence up?

-Concerned teen (link)
it's normal for every teen to feel bad about them self. but this time in your life will pass.

you just need to stop compairing your self to your friends, yes they are amazing people.. but they arent you. there is no one in this world that is you, besides you .. there for you should not compair your self to anyone. it's wrong.

i know it's not that easy . trust me, i know.
but when you look at your self dont pick out your flaws. look at your good stuff. like wow, this shirt looks good on me today, or oh! my hair looks cute. because people arent going to give you compliments until you start thinking positvily.

good luck with everything, and you are beautiful ♥


you said you'd been through alot and you were from texas so i thought i would see if you could help me out. ok im 14 and im from tx I im going to runaway but i dont know where to go. i live with my dad by force right now and i want to live with my mom and things just keep getting worse and i cant stop cuttingg myself so im going to rumaway but i dont want to be on the streets. (link)
you need to find out where you mother lived.
and find a way to get there.
bus, your mom picking you up, some one taking you there, taxi.. something like that.

or you could go to your school.. and tell them what's going on. then you go to the child agencey and tell them that where you are living is not good for you, and the atmosphere is doing things to you, like cuting.

you really need to get out of there, and fast.
i would talk to your school. then i would get help for cutting.

i really wish you the best of life, and i hope everything works out for you. ♥


hey i go to your school (LMS) and im in your grade (8) we arent rly friends though.
well first i wanted to say i think your gorgeous and i love your new hair color... anyways... i have a little problem.

so. um i was wondering if you could give me advice on how to get a guy. i dont really like anyone specific.. i might like this one guy but anyways. i was just wondering if you knew anything that could help a guy actually be interested in me...

thanks (link)
well thank you very much! come talk to me .. we can be friends =)

and for the boy thing .. number one) be your self, for sure. guys like down to earth girls. not some giddy try to be happy person. number two)flirt, like crazy. laugh at their jokes, but dont be like HAHAHAHHOMGHAHAHAHOMFG. like that.. that's not cool. number three) start off with trying to get guy friends. once you get a really good guy friend, you'll be friends with his guy friends, and so on and so forth.

yeah .. that's all i can really think of right now.
but if you ask a question about something specific.. then i'll try to help more

♥ good luck.


The problem I have is speaking in front of people. I get sweaty, nervous, my heart starts beating, and I just can't talk. How do I cure this? Is there a possible way to overcome it? Or am I stuck with it for life?

I'm a 14 year old male. (link)
this is normal for a teen.
and we all go through this stage.. some last for a few years.. some for a few months.
i had a shorter case of this, and it was about a year.

this year i can talk to BIG groups .. no problem.
some things that i did ..
was i made friends in my classes.. so i would know the people i was talking to .. when i was talking in front of them i didnt bore them, because i would fit my speach to the things that would keep them awake.

another thing that i did was i didnt just jump infront of the class make a perfect speach, no way.. i wish.
you can make note cards when you make a speach, so you will have what you want to talk about in front of you *but dont read off of that*
and i started off just looking at one person, and then i start looking around the room.
believe it or not, but it's easier to look around the room .. then in one spot. because when you move your head and body around you dont have to concintrate on some one to look at.

you just have to be self confident and believe that you can do it.


you can also go to a speach class.. and it teaches you how to make a speach.

but all will go swell .. good luck &hearts'


see there's this guy and i just got to know him and i liked him b/c he was nice and seemed like he wasnt stuck up and shit. Everyone says stuff about him and when i ask him he denies it i believe him. Then i told him i liked him and he didnt like me but he was nice and we were talking about private stuff online and the next day he told this really big ass hole that i liked him and that guy had to say something to me so i kind of got mad. Also this guy told me he was going to the mall and then my friend ims me and tells me that he said he didnt know what me and my other friend were talking about and that he wasnt going. Also earlier i texted him and asked him why he told this mean guy i liked him and if he told him anything else (the personal stuff) and he said no i didnt tell him anything not even that you liked me and i said sure and he said w/e. So when my friend told me that he wasnt going to the mall and he lied to me again i got really mad. I can't trust him but i still kind of like him and think its kind of my fault. If he tried talking to me and like if he was nice again would you give him another chance? Would you forgive him if he didnt apologize or if he did apologize or just wouldnt forgive him at all? (link)
well that was really mean -- what the kid did.

so here's what id do.
talk to this boy, tell him yo, why did you do that? and then forgive him. but dont tell him all of your personal stuff.. and see how things go. and wait for the relationship to get stronger again.
and if he does something like that again be like you know what, you have done this twice.. and then be mad for a little

goodluck!!! ♥


ok well see i just moved to a new school and all these guys thought i was really hott so they were always around me right well these girls got jealous of me for that and decided to start all these rumors and one was that i sucked this guys dick and i didnt even know the guy and when they confronted me they were like you sucked bens dick and stuff i was like whose ben and stuff so then one girl pushed me and i pushed her back and stuff well idon't know what to do about that problem but heres another this freshman likes me and i like him but we are friends for now but hes always with me and his ex hates me and they are always yelling thing at me and stuff because im in 8th grade and might get him. well i dont know what to do anymore because i dont want a bad rep???? if u get any of this please HELP!!! (link)
well first, dating a older guy will not give you a bad rep. it was give you a better one.

about the rumors, dont care about them.. but i know that's hard. the people that believe them are going to be nobodies, and you dont need those nobodies.. right? right.

about the cute 9th grade boy, dont care what his ex says. they broke up -- she's out of the picture!!!

good luck ♥

Hi, my name is Ali. My mom is taking me to a hair salon to get my highlights touched up. I have dirty blonde hair and blonde highlights. Could someone please give me ideas on what else I could do to my hair. Like maybe dye it or add different color highlights. If you want a picture of me just ask.

thanks in advance =) (link)
you should get highlights and lowlights.
that would look really pretty.
get some blondes, browns, and reds.
i think it would look cute


well i got in this really big fight with one of my best friends and some new girl who i became friends with and they like hate me really bad so i started hanging out with some other people and my two friends who i got in the fight with got everybody to hate my now like eceryone hates me but one of my friends even my new bff said she hated me now and i have like no one and im really lonely i tries apologizing but it didnt work and my friend that i got in a fight only is mad at me because i told her boyfriend she cheated on him which waqs really stupid but it wasnt right and so now my life sucks even more. what should i do? (link)
alright, well first off.
you did the right thing, by telling the boyfriend.
i would talk to the girl, whose boyfriend you told, and say - "hey, i am really sorry, but if he had cheated on you, you would want me to tell you. i really miss being your friend and you mean the world to me. please, can we start this friendship over again."
and see what she says. i would then talk to the other people that dislike you right now and just be like "i am so sorry, i thought i was doing the right thing, i really dont want to be in a fight with ya'll . please, give me another chance"
and see how that goes. i think your best bet would be too talk to the girl whose boyfriend you told first, then talk to the girls who dislike you next.
when you are talking to the girls that dislike you dont talk to them in a big group, talk to them in grops of 2 or 3

best ofluck, i really hope this all works out for you ♥


wats the best way to scrunch your hair especially if it is dead straight w/o even straightening it. Thnks in advance! (link)
get curling shampoo, and then when your hair is wet scrunch it with gel.

or you can straighten it with a curling iron.
that would look cute!



ok so you see there is this guy that i like and me and him were talking last night and he told me he liked me and now its all weird but i really really like him and i dont know what to do any more because i dont want to mess things up with our friendship because we are really close in some sence well i really need help because i like love him to death and dont want to lose him :-(

please HELP me!!!! (link)
wait..
you like him?
and he told you that he liked you?

what's wrong with that?


ok im almost 14 and usually i get my period only for 3 or 4 days. Am i ok? I mean, is there something wrong with me? Please help me.Thanks so much. (link)
nope
that is perfectly fine.
i get mine for arond 4-5 days
you are normal ♥


so i have this friend and i love her she's awesome. but sometimes she gets really annoying like she doesn't really act like herself. and she's really like attention drawing i guess you can say?

i'm in a class that i love because it's great and i love that i know everyone because then people actually talk to me... i'm really shy so it's kinda hard for me to fit in sometimes and this class i fit in perfectly.

problem... she's saying that her class is too hard and wants to switch into mine. i know it sounds really stupid but if she did i knew most of the people in there would talk to her and forget about me... cause that's just kinda how it is and i hate it. there all better friends with her than me and it's annoying because she kinda steals my glory or whatever you want to say?

she's asking me why i think it'd be weird if she switched into my class. and i don't even know what to say to her. cause if i explained it to her i think she'd take it the wrong way. and i don't want to start anything cause she's my bff.

if this makes any sense... help? (link)
makes perfect sence, and i'd be the same way
just tell your friend that it would be a little weird because it is far into the school year, and if the class was really to hard for her, the teacher would have switched her out of it. and you think that she should stay in that class, because it is good to have a chalange.
or you could tell her the real reason why.
or you can just be like, if you do switch class just remember that i want some attention too.

♥ best of luck, let me know what happens.


my hair is naturally pretty curly but like scrunchy curly. but as soon as it's all the way dry it gets frizzy and wavyy but nasty. so when it's wet i put gel in it and then i have spray too but when it's done it always looks really cute but the top of my head like where my roots are...is really frizzy and flat and no matter what i do it always stays that way. any advice? (link)
you could try blow drying it curley, and that might help.
that happens to me some times, i just get over it. because it doesnt bother me to much.
so chances are that they only look bad to you, but no one else notices them.

i would just blow dry it curley, then when you are about to leave for where ever you are going put some spray in it. and dont touch it until it's dry.


okay, i used to have really long hair, but i straightened it almost every day and therefore, i got split ends and had to cut it. i only got my hair cut a few inches, but i want to grow it out again. the problem is, though, i like to straighten my hair and i know that damages it. but i still prefer my hair straightened than way, because it can get poofy and annoying. so my questions are:
is straightening your hair extremely bad for you ? i mean, when i'm older, will my hair be severly damaged ?
and do you happen to know any hair products/shampoos that straighten your hair without a straightener (or without damaging hair) or any good products to protect long hair ?
thanks for your help ! =) (link)
straightening wont be bad, as long as your protect your hair . and do it right.
first : if you have a dry straightener.. NEVER straighten wet hair. ever. it needs to be completely dry. but if you have a wet to dry one, then its fine.
next : you might want to get some heat protection spray, you can find it in beauty stores, you spray it on before you straighten it, and it helps protect it.
then you might want to get hair treatment, for you to do every week or so. or get a deep conditionar or something like that.

so if you take good care of is, it wont be bad for your hair.
but dont straighten in everyday.
you can wear it curley some times, or up.
and weekends, if you dont do anything one day. dont straighten it. the longer you go with out straightening it , the straighter it will be the next time you do .

good luck ♥


ok so yes i knno you dont really care that i really like a guy nd i cant tell if he likes me but if you do really think he does how can you b sure, i reallllly want to go out with him nd i dont kno if he has a gf nd i dont kno if he really likes me how can i get to mayb not exactly talk to him but to mayb get him to talk to me like its hard to explain sryy if you dont get this at all thnx in advance! (link)
i would first find out if he was single.
you could ask one of his friends.
or you can ask him
i think asking him would be the way to go.

if he is single, you can do the friend train.
and ask your friend to ask his friend if he likes you.
or you just start talking to him, like just a simple HELLO in the hallways. if he talks back, he wants to be your friend. so that's good
then you can move your convos up a notch
and be like hey, whats up, how are you, how's your day, blah blah blah. what are you doing this weekend.
and if you've got a screen name, ask for his.
and talk more.
i think the key is to be really good friends first, and then start dating.
once you've gotten to be good friends start hanging out, like group wise or by your self.
and then maybe you could tell him you like him .

if he's got a girl friend
just try to be goodfriends.
like i said up there.
but dont interfier with their relationship.


questions? ♥


For Christmas, I got a bunch of money and im pretty sure its enough for a digital camera. My mom says to wait till this weekend when there will be a buch of sales, because its the weekend after Christmas. So should I wait, or do you think it would be sold out? And, when I do get one, what's the best one to get thats affordable but yet a really good one? Thanks in advance =) (link)
i would go now, or look online for the one you want.
i would look at sony, they are great. i have always had sony. right now i have a sony cyber shot, and its great. they are really easy to use, and your pictures come out wonderfully.


i was thinking about geting a haircut where i have side swept bangs(already have them + love them) and really short, sort of spikish hair in the back. does anyone have any ideas of whether this would look good on someone with a chubby face(kinda round, chubby cheeks)

ALL PICTURES OF HAIRCUT STYLES ARE GORGEOUS MODELS WITH PRETTY FACES...EEEW!

thanks in advance everyone! (link)
i think the hair style is beautiful
but i've only seen it on skinny face, boney people.
but im sure it will look great on you.

its just hair, try something new. and if it doesnt work out, it'll grow out!
