I can think of a couple ways you could do that.

I know you said you can't glue or tape things but have you tried using adhesive things on it? At craft shops they sell strips of velcro. You just peel off the backing and stick it onto things. Your pictures will be attached to your wall with velcro which of course is temporary. That way you can reaarrange the pictures as much as you'd like.

Another idea. At the Container Store, they sell these magnetic metal strips. They come in all sorts of really cute colors (i have them in lime green). They come with a set of magnets. You can buy a couple of them and line them up around your wall (you need to nail them in, but its really easily done) and put all your pictures on them. I have them as I said and love them.

Why don't you buy a bulletin board? They don't have to be all ugly! You can even make one yourself. Just buy a square of corkboard and paint it whatever color you want. I know its kind of similar to the approach you started with though, but this way it won't look like you just stuck a tack in the wall.

If you need more ideas just send me a message I'm sure I could think of some more.

Find an eyeshadow that is two shades lighter than your skin tone. Apply that eyshadow to both sides of your nose and it will look longer and straighter.

Try it! It may work for you or it may not.

I had the same problem as you a while back. My parents took me to a therapist which helped SO much. Maybe ask your doctor for one he/she recommends. Usually the problems related to loss of sleep aren't physical, so the therapist will work through the mental variables of it.

To help you fall asleep now try...

-breathing exercises to clear your mind
-thinking up things in your head you want to happen (i.e romances, getting a job, being couragous)
-drink tea its so calming!!
-moving your bed to a place the makes you comfy
- pulling the sheets all the way over your head to block out distractions

Good luck! Any further advice can be given if you need!!

Make sure you address that it is the first day of school and that her boyfriend waking up earlier is only a temporary solution.

Another suggestion...

Why don't you take your showers at night? You can blow dry your hair and straighten it and sleep on it. Hair always looks better after its been slept on. Your makeup can be done in the morning. I've done this for 2 years and its worked out great for me!!

Emotions, moodswings,

I don't even understand me sometimes!!

Bring:

2 bathing suits
4 pairs of shorts (you can wear them twice)
5 shirts (they can double as cover ups)
1 PJ
1 pair flip flops
1 pair of sneakers
1 pair of long pants
undies
tioletries
socks
2 beach towels
1 sweatshirt

HAVE FUN ON YOUR TRIP!! i hope this list doesn't sound like too much!

Be proud of who you are! Look yourself in the mirror and pinpoint everything you like about yourself. Don't compare your body to other people's bodies because they are different people. Maybe you have some trouble walking or trouble dancing normally. So what! Maybe you have great hair or stunning eyes. You have come a long way through middle school and you'll regret not going to your graduation just because your scared to walkin front of everyone. Walk proudly, be proud of your body. Many victims of Cerebral Palsy are confined to a wheelchair! You are lucky enough to be able to WALK! Give everyone a big smile! Kids your age should be mature enough to not taunt you because of physical limits, so don't sweat it! Different is good. If everyone were the same think of how our lives would be. So don't tell yoursef that you walk differently say that "you have trouble walking because of your disability". Because of this disability you are a stronger person :]


**You won't fall because everyone will be seceretly cheering you on. Your parents, your siblings, and your friends. With them on your side you'll be invincible!**

I love my nano!! They are so covenient and work really great. I bet you have heard people warn you that because they are so thin, they can break. Well, this might be true to some people (the ones who treat their stuff like crap) but I've had mine since October and its in perfect condish. You can keep pictures in them, which is kinda cool if you want to show your friends and family them. Yeah so they're pretty good. Don't get a Zen Micro though cuz they are really hard to use with the confusing buttons and stuff. I love my nano and I belive they are def, worth it!

Maybe you're premenstrual...who knows!!

I crave junk food all the time! Its cuz its so good! But, after i have staisfyed by junkie cravings usually i feel sick and long for healthier stuff. Maybe you could try making your own junk food. Cut up some poatoes drizzle them with oil and sprinkle with aslt. Put em in the oven and viola!! Fries!! If you really want the real stuff go over your friends house and ask if you could steal theirs (in a nice understaning way of course!). Being a teen means your gunna have these kinds of cravings...so do what i do shake em off and move off! You're loosing nothing but gaining a healthier body! Think how much thinner you'll be than the other kids!!

I'm from Jersey! Morris County to be specific. The counties in Jersey are completely different. If anyone tells you about "thugs" and lowlifes, they're just judging us by steriotype. Some counties in Jersey are really poor, and some like mine are not so poor. I love Jersey because we're close to the ocean. The jersey shore is amazing and I could not imagine living without it! Jersey is only crowded in the more poor counties. I LOVE NEW JERSEYYY!!!

If you can't get to a dermatologist, get Stridex Power Pads. They clearned my face up in like 2 days!! For your body...i'm not sure but get lots of vitamin A!!

Of course not! Girls will respect you more because you care about your body enough to suffer through a diet. Women have suffered through diets too, so don't worry what they think. Men, on the other hand, if they're immature they might give you a hard time. once again they are IMMATURE and who wants to be friends with an immature asshole anyway??

Try using a tampon! Your question makes it seem like you ALWAYS use pads. Pads are horribly uncomfortable, so why endure the torture?? You won't even remember you have your period if you were one!

Yep!! I just did something for my Bat Mitzvah for the holdidays!! All you have to do is contact the hospital and ask them if they know a person who could help you with donations. Ask for a wish-list. Look at the wish list and choose what to buy. Schedule a drop off time and then bring the toys to the hospital and give them to the person who you have been working with. I am in a "Mitzvah Club" and each family donated some toys. You could maybe hang flyers up or put donation boxes in the lobby of elementary schools! This will get you lots of toys!!

In my opinion you can't just become goth one day. That sounds so dumb for some reason! You just are what you are. "Goth" is the way you want to express yourself. This sounds like when my little sister was 10 she came up to my mom and said "Mom guess what im goth!" It doesn't happen over night. First of all, try to understand the beliefs of the people who choose to express themselves such. Maybe something triggered their sudded need to wear goth type glothing and makeup.

About the hair situation..you don't need back hair to be considered "goth" looking. I've seen many who have blonde, brown, or red hair! Maybe start by asking your mom if you could get red or black hilights. If that isn't allowed, don't sweat it!


About the gothic sayings, maybe try listening to some songs that have them in it. Look deeper into what the syaings are trying to tell you. Things may not appear to be what they really are! A murder may symbolize a break-up with a boyfriend. Blood might represent tears from the "murder". Things like that may be hidden inside these violent sayings.


Goth clothing can be found anywhere you look! Mostly Hot Topic though. I'm not positive but i think Spencer's might have some stuff too. Hot Topic is definately the place to go!!


I hope you consider some of the things I said. I don't usually give such long answers but i felt it was worth it ;-)

Well, i'm pretty sure that if you break the wire they will repare it for free, but if the brace comes off (like in your case) it's not free. Every orthodontist has different rules, so i would maybe ask him/her about it. I also have some tips so you don't break them again (some are obvious):

1. Don't eat sticky candy (obvious i know) the sugar in the candy will wear out the glue causing it to weaken and break.

2. Avoid hard foods such as the candied nuts you get in NYC, lollipops, and even corn on the cob! These foods will damage the wires and may break a bracket

3. Brush around the brackets well so you et rid of any sugar that may be breaking down the glue.

4. Chew SUGARLESS gum. They only tell you not to chew gum because they're afraid you are going to chew the kind with sugar. As said before sugar breaks down glue.

So try to avoid tons of sugar because it really is the main cause for you brackets to break!


Good luck with your braces...they will come of soon (mine just did)!!

You could paint a Sunrise or a Sunset

A bush with flowers and bugs in it (so it looks like theres a bush just outside your window)

A moon and star scene

Some rolling hills with a farm

Make it look like you're looking out the window and seeing something normal, not like and alien or a person because when do you see people that close to your window???

Omg i went to one of these and it was so fun!!

These are things we had to do:

-Find certain sotres and get buisness cards from them to prove we found them.
-Each person's chaperone had to sit in the massage chair for 15 seconds (some places you have to be 18 or older).
-We had to each get a free smple from the food court
-Buy lotion from limited too
-buy a cookie from a cookie store
-Find a store where all girls could try on a shirt and do it!

Those are the only ones I could remember! Be sure to give each group a clip board to hold buisness cards and the list, 20$, and a pen! Have fun! ANy more ideas you need drop one in my inbox!!

I'm just like you!! I am a size 4 kids shoe and wear junior size stuff. For my Bat Mitzvah my grandma took me to this store that had "junior" sizes. I don't know where you live so i can't direct you to any stores specifiacally. I'd start looking for a place that gives special attention for fitting. Like when you get a wedding gown. That's what I got and I found adress i loved!! I've heard of a place called "Party Girl" and I think it's chain so look for one around you!! You need to make an appointment tho.

Hi I'm Arielle and I'm 14 and i love helping people
