Hi, I'm Karlie, and I love to give advice. I currently work for lots of other advice sites, and I'm having a great time doing so. I've been through alot in life, (and, no, im not lying about this) more than normal teenagers have. PLEASE feel free to ask me a question to my inbox. When I see a question in there, I get excited that someone wants my help. I'll never reject any at all. And also, when I leave advice I'd appreaciate feedback more than a "thanks". cause I'd like to know if I helped you or not.
thankyou =]

Well, for the past 3 years I've pretty much have been drifting in this town,and freshman year,I'm realizing, it has nothing to offer to me. I live with my mom, but my dad lives in another state. I'm thinking of moving in with him, just to get away from it all. Theres pro's and con's, such as i wont be seeing my best friend, but i will be able to start over. has anyone experienced this or been through this before? Should i really give everything up? I need some,i don't know, insight? I know you can't make the decision for me, but I'm just looking for one last piece of advice, you know? 14/f (link)
yes. something really similar like that happened to me. Last year i was in 8th grade, and i had been going to that school since preschool. I had my bestfriends in the whole world who went there, and then, me and my family moved to a new town, and i had to start highschool this year knowing absoloutley no one! I was so scared I cried b4 the 1st day of school, but now, im actually finding that the move was one of the best things that happenened to me. I fit right in at the highschool and I have made SOOO many friends. It was REALLY REALLY nice to start all over with no reputation or anything and make a name for myself that I could be proud of with no strings attached becuase no one new anything about me. 3 guys have asked me to homecoming and more offers are coming, and thats a plus on being the new girl. guys are interested.
So, if you want my advice, just listen to your heart, becuase leaving behind my bestfriends was REALLY hard, but i have made new ones and barely miss them now.
so, i really hope i helped =[. feel free to ask me naything else.


Does anyone know what highschool courses will help me to get into psychology??? (link)
Well, it may be different at your school, but at my highschool they offer actual psychology classes for juniors and seniors.
hope i helpec =]


What's your favorite makeup product?

Any pictures too?

I want to find something new to try. (link)
One of my favorite makeup products is face powder. Mainly because I have shiny skin, so the powder conceals it.

I like silver eyeshadow becuase it brings out my blue eyes.

I also like black eyeliner and mascara. Try DEFINE A LASH mascara by MAYBELINNE. It's very good!

I also like WET N' WILD MEGA SLICKS LIP GLOSS.

hope i helped =]


I have dark brown long hair. Olive skinned. Skinny with curves. I need some fashion tips. What colors would.. well.. compliment my skin and such? What type of dresses, shirts would make my curves stand out? I've been hiding behind baggy clothing because I'm out of the fashion loop. I've been told to stay away from black and brown though.

Any websites? No expensive stores like abercrombie/fitch stuff..
(link)
- American Eagle (ae.com)
- Hollister (hollisterco.com)
- Aeropostale (aeropostale.com)
Those are some stores I would recomend for you. They have really super cute clothes that are always in style. The 1st 2 are a little bit on the expensive side (not as expensive as A&F tho) but they have great sale racks and such. Aeropostale is cheaper, but also really cute.
You should wear bright colors and/or pale colors like a light pink or yellow. Bright colors will stand out on your olive skin, and light colors will soften you up. Your lucky u have olive skin to wear light colors, im very pale so I can't! Shirts that will show off your curves? Anything tight, or a shirt with an elastic strap or tie right below your bust. I can also recomend more storse, but i dont know the website.
- Forever 21
- Buckle
- Maurice's

how do u lose fat on your gut with out running to get abs (link)
It's easy. Just to sit ups, crunches, that kinda stuff. I bought a Pilates DVD and its 25 minutes of working out your abs. It really helps! I do it once a day. Also, make sure your not eating unhelathy. Stick to foods that are good for you.
hopei helped


I have a very strange question to ask..but please bear with me.

Let's say a guy has a girlfriend that's really ugly. And I know I'm prettier than her. When he shares her pictures and puts her pictures up and is so proud of them...does he realize that she's ugly? or is he so glad that he has a girlfriend that he doesn't care WHAT she looks like, as long as she "belongs" to him. And in this case, he thinks she's the most beautiful girl in the world?

Because it's getting annoying. This guy makes fun of my pictures, when I know I'm SO much prettier. But when he puts up her ugly pictures, he praises them. What am I supposed to say? It annoys me that he makes fun of me, when his girlfriend is disgustingly ugly.

I know it's shallow. =/ (link)
dont feel bad or put down by this guy. When a guy likes a girl, he LOVES everything about her. And to him, her appearance is perfect in his eyes becuase he cares about her so much. He obviousy doesent like you as a girlfriend, so he isnt going to praise your pictures and call you pretty, even if you are prettier than his girlfriend. When he makes fun of you, just ignore it becuase he probly doesent mean it. Guys are guys, and the feel like making fun of other people is like "manly" well some of them do anyway,

I have very curly hair. I jus started wearing it big n cute like Beyonce! Hahaha... but every time I get out of the shower its so TANGLED. I comb it out and I notice my hair comes out. Only a little bit used to, but now I see whole strands coming out! My routine with the hair is comb it out, gel & hairspray. What can I put in my hair to make less "tangly?" AND prevent it from breaking off? (link)
After shampooing your hair in the shower, put lots of conditioner in it, but make sure you dont apply it to your WHOLE head (like up by your part) just the hair that hangs down, if you know what i mean. Try taking a wide-toothed comb in the shower, and after you put the conditioner in comb through it once or twice. After you get out, dont put it up in a towel, if u do that. Then just spray detangler spray in your hair. You can find this anywhere, and basically all hair product lines will have it.
hope i help =]


I have dark brown curly hair, I love it straight but my hair is getting fried and has so many split ends and I'm losing some of my hair any good ways to restore it? Also, I want to dye my hair blonde but I don't want to fry it again, any dyes that work good on curly hair? (link)
Well, for 1, don't dye it until your hair is healthy and "not-fried". Dying it will only make it worse.

For the being fried part, stop using your straightning iron for a while. You might be unhappy with the curl, but you have to let it recover before you use anymore heat on it. Wash it with a shampoo that is specially for damaged hair. You can find this kind of shampoo anywhere, any store.

Also, Tresemme has a line of hair cair products that work with heat and also protect against the damage that can be caused by the heat. It's like a spray or mouse or something you put in your hair before you straighten it.

hope i helped, sorry for the long answer


okay well i've been with my boyfriend round 7 months and i couldnt be happier i know i love him and i do think im inlove

every time i kiss him even a little one i get butterflies and cute little things like that

ive never ever felt this way before bout anyone else ever

i think im inlove with him

what do ya think??
(link)
well, i had a boyfriend that I thought I loved, and I got butterflies in my stomach, i thought he was the one, and that we were in love and all that. And then we broke up. The same thing happened to my friend.

Love is when your not even concerned with how YOUR feeling like "OHMYGOSH when he kissed ME it was so great! I always feel happy around him. He makes ME happy" Love is completely selfless, when your only concerned with the other person. You might be in love with the idea of being in love.

So, I don't think your COMPLETELY in love (depending on how old you are). But the realationship may go somewhere.


does anyone know of any ways
to get involved with acting or modeling? (link)
depending on how old you are, it's easy to get into acting, like at local theatres and theatre groups, for instance. I used to act with an orginazation for kids 8-18. Your community will usually have something like this.

As far as modeling goes, if your talking about "runway" type modeling, there are modeling companies that will have lots of profiles of different models, and when a designer needs a specific looking model, the company would give the designer her picture and he would contact her. These modeling companies are in New York, Beverly Hills, LA, and places like that.

If your just talking about magazing modeling, like for JC Penney, you can just go to the store and ask for information on where you can apply.

m/13 so me and my girlfriend are planning to have sex. we dont know whether she should put her tampon in during it so she doesnt get pregnant, or i should use i condom. also, how do u put on a condom? when i put my penis in how fast do i go in and out? (link)
im just gonna say what everyvbody else has said. DONT DO IT. your way to young. Its impossible to have sex with a tampon in for 1, and for 2, you could get ur GF pregnant at 13. If she hasnt had her period yet, it could cause premature bleeding and stuff like that. so dont do it.


i look like this:

please excuse the poor picture taking skills.
lol.

what would look best on me and how can i do it? (link)
ok, first off, one thing that always makes me feel better is using light foundation on my face just to make the skintone look even and flawless. The first time I tried foundation, i was nervous, but its actually pretty easy. Just get a foundation (I use covergirl Clean Makeup foundation) that matches your skintone, and dab little dots of it on your face. Then, take a cosmetic sponge (those triangular sponges) and rub the dots in. If you put it on correctly it look like your not wearing any at all! Finish it by taking a un-used blush brush and brush powder over your face to help the foundation stay.

For your eyes, it looks like you have beautiful blue eyes, and i have blue too so I'll tell you what I do. I put on black eyeliner under my eyes, on the inner lid. It's really easy, and theres not that much room for messing up because its a thin line on your inner lid. Then, I put a thin line of black on my upper lids just to give my eyes definition. This one is a bit harder, becuase when you put it on you have to make sure that your drawing the line basically touching the eyelashes. Then, I lightly put on silver shadow becuase blue eyes have gray undertones, so silver will really make them pop. Last, I put Define a Lash (by maybelinne...i think) mascara on.

It may seem like alot of makeup, but I make sure when I put it on it's very subtle, so you can hardly tell. You can also put on nude lipgloss and blush if you like, but I barely do.

As for your hair, It seems like you have the right idea. I would suggest getting your hair layerd, but the length right now is good. Also, get your hair "angled", this will give your face character. Lastly, you can get some wispy bangs (not huge bangs across your forhead) just wispy ones. That makes a big difference.

Well, I hope I helped. I know this is a really long answer, and if my advice doesent help im sorry. ask me if you need anything else =]


honestly, i'm a 15 year old girl, and i suck at putting on makeup and doing my hair. are there any websites i could go to for instructions on how to do my hair and make-up? i generally wear only mascara and wear my hair down. i dont do anything else. what else could i do to look cute. i want to look different for when the new school year sarts, and i want to start practicing now. (link)
well, i dont know any websites that could help, but if i knew more about you (like your eye color, hair color, hair texture) i could deffinantly give you some tips on what kind of makeup to wear, and what kind of haircut to get.

so, if youd like, message me and i can deffinantly help =]


i dont really think im 'fat' but im a little over weigth. are there any ways i could lose alot of weight quickly!

thank you ! (link)
this is pretty simple. limit your daily intake of calories, so im basically saying eat healthy food.

along with eating healthy, just work out, maybe 40 minutes a day, 4 days a week, or something like that.

you can jog, do push ups, sit ups, anything like that. and, if it isnt convenient to jog, you could just put on some music in your room and dance. thats what helps me.

if you have anymore questions, just ask =]


Im 13/f and i weigh 75.6 kilos (165.5 pounds)
i feel sooo fat. Im huge. i need advice on how to loose some weight! BIG time. pleaseeeeee help anything helps. (link)
I'm just gonna keep it simple. Depending on how tall you are, you got just be built big, but if this isn't the case, I would say you would basically have to change your lifestyle.

Eat 3 small, healthy meals a day.

Work out more and sit around less. The more you are sitting around doing nothing, the more you will be tempted to eat junk food.

So basically, eat VERY healthy. There are tons of programs out there that can help.

Work out with sit ups, running, pushups, or just doing a sport that you enjoy. It's not the complicated =]



k well i just got a laptop, and i wanna put my itunes on it.
right now its on like my desktop, but like if i download itunes on my laptop then plug my ipod in will the songs get deleted?

or what will i have to do. (link)
the same thing happened to me, and unless there is anyway to prevent the songs getting erased, then yes. When you plug your ipod into a new itune with no songs, a box will pop up and say something like, "iTunes has detected that this is not the itunes for your ipod. Would you like to convert all the songs from itunes onto the ipod?" you can pick yes or no. If you pick yes, all your songs will get erased.

My suggestion would be to burn all the songs from your current itunes onto CD's and download them into your new itunes. Hope I helped =]


how do you get your bangs to stay to the side like this i cant do it errrrrrr

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=92012065&albumID=0&imageID=3079762 (link)
Hi! I have bangs like that, but not as thick as her, so I pretty much no what your talking about. What I do, is after I take a shower when my hair is still wet, I brush my bangs straight down in front of my face, and then start blow drying the bangs in one direction, so when they dry, they will stay on your forhead, but go down to the right (or left) like the girl in the pic.
If that doesent work, you could always take that pic to your hair stylist and she can give you a cut like that.
Hope I Helped =]


i always hear these songs on the radio where its like the song, and in between verses there are people talking. like today, i heard one to if everyone cared and they were talking about the virginia tech shooting. back during katrina, i heard here by me with people talking about katrina. does anyone know what theyre called to download on limewire? ive tried everything and cant find it. help? (link)
Well, I'm not EXACTLY sure what you mean, but if you mean like when your listening to a song, and in the background you can hear ppl talking about other things like the shooting thing, for example, that is most likely a bad connection with the radio station. So when you are listening, the radio station your listening to is colliding with another one, so that is most likely why you hear talking in the songs, if thats what you mean.


I have very oily skin. It's so bad that I go to the bathroom everyday in school and while I used the restroom I use the toilet paper to *try* to get some of the oil off of my face by dabbing at my oily places. It's embarassing to have oily skin.
So I was wondering if anyone has any tips, home treatments, or product recomendations for me?
Thanks. (link)
I have oily skin, too, and I have learned to just deal with it. The best way you can somewhat conceal it is by carying a compact of powder. if you have acne, wear lots of foundation, and apply powder over it whenever necessary.
hope i helped!
>>>>>


ok i know this is really stupid but how do you go up a cup size if you alreay only wear a size 36 a (link)
well, you cant physically make your boobs grow to fit a size bigger than you are. If it is size that your worried about, try wearing an extra padded bra or push up bra. this will make your boobs look much bigger than they already are
hope i helped =]
