Is there any make-up of some sort that covers up blushing so nobody can tell if you're embarassed?

I have the same problem. I would suggest a bronzer or blush but not too much. It's hard to pretty much eliminate blushing especially since when most people blush, it's very red.

Ive got a really bad obsession with the drink coca cola! and its not good for you to drink it everday of the week. Anyone give me advice on how to stop drinking so much coke?!?

rate hight for good answers

Slowly move down to less and less caffiene.

Say you drink 5 coke cans a day. Try drinking 4 for about a week, then 3 and so on.

If that doesn't work, let's say you drink 5 coke cans a day. Try switching it will lemonade or another flavored drink. Once you don't hace coke cravings, you can move to flavored water, and soon pure water.

Go as slow as you need, step by step.

so they guy i like asked me to prom i got my dress and everything but im so nervous is there anyone that has some good advice about everything? like how to act around him and stuff because im really shy i'll rate 5's!!

Prom is extremely exciting. He will most likely be just as nervous. I went to two this year and I had my mom put the flower on so I wouldn't pin him. Just be calm and cool. Pictures will be annoying, we had 20 people so 40 people were taking pictures. Just make sure you talk to him, at first it will be akward but have fun.

every time i like some one and then they start to like me i dont' like them anymore... i dont know why but i think im afraid to fall in love because i went out with some one before and then he broke up with me and broke my heart and then thats when it all started.. i dont knwo if it's a case of really bad hard to get.. or i am scared.... i need help! :-(

I think you might just be scared, and that is normal. Don't think of it as falling in love, dating is sopossed to be fun. You don't have to "fall in love" with every guy you date.

~I have class pictures tomorrow and I have no clue what to wear! My favorite colors are pink and lime green. But blue really brings out my eyes. I love flip flops too!~

I suggest wearing blue if it brings out your eyes, try not to wear anything with a pattern because it will take away from your face.

In about 2 weeks I am going to a weeding with my boyfriend. I am wearing a black cute dress and pink heels and a pink choke necklace and a pink purse. I want to wear my hair cute though. I was just goin got wear it half up and half down and curl it and put little so called "Wisskers"in the front and wear some makeup and cute hoop earings.
Does this sound okay today girls?
And guys is this nice? or too weird?
My boyfriend is going to be in the weeding so he will be wearing a suit and bowtie so this isnt dressed up too fancy.
My boyfriends 15/m
I am a 13/f

--Thx--

I've never been to a wedding but it sounds appropriate. Not too "look at me" but at the same time classy.

Hello i like this guy and i dunno if he likes me?
he always talks to me and smiles and stuff. Today one of my friends asked him if he liked me and he said he didnt know but did i like him? and then she said well would you ever date her and he said he didnt know?

Maybe you should ask him yourself? He might just be afraid to say yes if he likes you incase you don't like him, ya know? Try and get to know hm a little bit more and talk to him and see if you still get the same vibes.

Im 15/f..
Hey. I've been friends with this one girl since I was about 3 years old because our sisters were friends. Well, for some odd reason she doesn't like me anymore. So we just stopped being friends. She is horrible to my 2 best friends. She tries to take them away from me. It really gets me mad when she treats them this way.She thinks their her best friends and she constantly talks about me to them and I know shes trying to get them to not be friends with me anymore. What should I do?

-->JaKiE

That is really immature of her to do that. Are you sure that is her plan though? What your best friends are telling you might not always be true. You should confront her in a civil way. Just tell her you've been hearing she doesn't like you and is trying to take all your friends away. Don't freak out on her incase it isn't true. If she tells you it's not true, then accept that and let your friends know she said that she hasn't been doing what they said. Make sure your friends are telling the truth.

Hope I helped

Man, I feel stupid asking questions on this thing, but anyway...kind of a two-part question here.

First, I had a pretty big crush on a guy friend of mine...but I found out that he was dating someone else. I was kinda sad about it, but I was okay with it -- UNTIL the weekend later where he was flirting with me like crazy, and I know it was because his girlfriend wasn't there. I don't think the guy knows it, but it really hurt me, especially cause I'd just found out about his GF...and, well, even though it was a month ago, I'm still pretty ticked. Should I talk about it or should I just let it go?

Second, it's stupid, but I've never had a boyfriend and I'm starting to feel really bad about it, especially because all my friends seem to be hooking up -- I don't really want to date right now, but I wouldn't mind just finding a couple of guys I can flirt with and hang out with just so I can feel a little better about myself. (This, along with all the stuff above about the jerk-guy, has left me feeling like the Dateless Monster from Hell.) Any ideas?

Maybe to him the flirting that was occuring was just hanging out and talking. Does he know you have/had feelings for him? If not, you should tell him and if he was flirting with you then he'll realize he should backoff. If he doesn't, that just shows he's an asshole and doesn't care about other peoples feelings.

Get some girls together and go to a different towns spot such as: Bowling, movies, mall, park etc. You can scope out new guys and they will notice you and possibly talk to you, if not go talk to them. See if you have any close by under 21 dance clubs, people from all over go to those and I'm sure you could meet some great guys at one of those.

Ive got 2 friend, Tamsinn and Ben and theyre a couple. Well Tamsin wants to break up with Ben because she says he's annoying and all that...but Ben is trying to kill himself now that he heard that...I need help because i really dont want to lose a friend.
Thanks

Tell Ben that he should not try and kill himself over a girl breaking up with him. Especially since it has not happened yet and that is all he has heard. Tell him that he's a great guy and any other great qualities he has. Be sure to mention that if what he heard is true (which it is) that her being honest is better than her going out with him and not liking him, it'd just make the pain worse in the long-run.

As for Tamsinn, let her know he's upset from what he heard and that she should do it nicely.

Hi, Ive wanted to get my belly button pierced for like 4 years. Im 16 now and my mom said she would take me this summer. Im just kind of curious about the amount of pain. I heard like when you get the needle through your belly button you dont feel it, but when the put the ring in you do. And how long af ter does it hurt? like a day or a week? If someone could please tell me about their experience that would be great... Thanks in advance :)

I got my belly button pierced 3 months ago. I'm a baby with pain and it hurt, but I wasn't crying. She didn't even use any method of numbing. When she stuck the needle in, it was a random sharp pain but then she had to keep sticking it in which kept hurting. After that, I was still in pain and putting the ring on didn't make the main increase. The first week it was uncomfortable to sit up straight, bend over and anything with the stomache. It pussed a little bit and was red and dry. The belly button is one of the longest healing piercings ever. So if yours takes 4 months, that's ok. Unless it's still dark red, hurting and looks abnormal.

Also, for the first year I'd use rings that are titanium, sterling silver or some sort of gold, nothing fake because it is a new piercing and the skin is healing.

I love it and I'm happy that I got it done.

If you decide to do it, let me know how it goes.
