"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus Dumbledore

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!




A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

wicked awesome conversations

^my forum, liven it up a little?

advice

as hard as i try, i cant stop biting my nails. I did for one year, then i started again, then i stopped, then 2 years later i stopped for a while, and now as hard as i try i just cant stop. I also bite my cuticuls, and im afraid i wont be able to stop until my nails are perminently dmamaged. any ideas??

I used to chew my cuticles constantly. I even chewed the sides of my fingers and ripped the skin off. It wasn't pretty. What worked for me was making my nails pretty (I hate wearing polish most of the time, so I just filed and buffed them instead) and rubbing polish remover wherever I would be tempted to bite, whether it was my nails or cuticles. The taste is terrible, and will most likely discourage you.


Or, vow to only bite the nails on one hand, then after a few days, say you'll only bite 4 fingers, then 3, then 2, then 1, then none! Chew sugarfree gum instead.


Good luck!
