I am not indpendent at all, and I get embarrased over the smallest things. Even if its just walking to togos to order a sandwich I get embarassed unless I'm with my friends. I get embarrassed ordering food from restaurants and paying for clothes and i feel i'm not independent but i need to learn to be. I really have no friends at school (there all really mean to me and are obnoxious to be around with) what are some ways to help with that with the embarrassment and independence problem; i keep reminding myself you''ll never see these people again, but it bugs me SOrry if its in the wrong category.
I'm alot like you are, I can't do anything unless someone is there with me =/
The only thing I can really recommend is just...making yourself do it. Once you have done something a few times, it will lose its edge. You just have to try =[ and I know, that sucks and it may take a while. That and sometimes you just have to convince yourself there is nothing to be afraid of/embarassed of. You're shy =P you have time to grow out of it also.

Hi, I'm not trying to lose more than a pound or two, if anything. But I would like to study how many calories I'm taking in and how many I'm burning. I am considering getting a pedometre, scale and book to write down everything I eat. I realize it's probably good to see exactly what I'm eating and what not, but is it mentally healthy for a teenager to be so aware of their health? I am just over 5'8 and around 115 lbs, so I'm not having any issues.
Thanks!
PS: I have a lot of spare time and this interests me, haha.
First of all, you don't need to lose a pound or two. If anything, you're UNDER weight. Your BMI(body mass index), going off what you have said, is 17.5. To be healthy you should be 18.5 at the lowest...if anything you should attempt gaining a few Ibs. I think every teenage girl worries about her weight, I've never met one who doesn't(at least a little). You don't need to keep track of how many calories you are consuming/burning....I don't think its healthy. Usually people keep track of calories to lose weight, so I don't see why you would need to. =[ I think its good to be aware of your health, which is exactly why you might want to gain a few Ibs.
So to sum it up, no I don't think it would be healthy for you to do that. Be aware without being overly aware.
About 3 years ago, I fell in love with a band named Queen (as my username states :P). And well...what can I say? It was love at first listen. I FELL IN LOVE with Queen. I started collecting all of their CD's, books, vinyls, shirts, etc. I've had a crazy obsession with them for the past 3 years. My whole ROOM is Queen...I know the group members, and seen the two that are still alive in concert. Queen is all I ever talk and think about...they're like my second group of parents. I don't know whether its sick or not...but I've noticed it's been getting on people's nerves. Teachers have made comments telling me to lay off Queen. SO many friends have been annnoyed by my CONSTANT talk of Queen (I've also lost many friends because of it). Thing is -- I don't know what to do....This is clearly messing my relationships up. But I
I think you are a *wee* bit obsessed. But its only really unhealthy since you have lost friends over it, in my opinion. So I just say try to talk about it less, or say nothing at all...you CAN restrain yourself from talking about it =P I've had to do this same thing when I'm obsessed with things, and annoy my friends when I talk about it. Just think before you speak and dramatically cut down, I'm not saying never talk about Queen again. If you can, I also suggest just toning down the obviousness of the obsession, if it bothers those around you. =P I
On the Sims 2 Nightlife how do you turn into a Vampire? My friend can't seem to figure it out so she was wondering if anyone here knew.
You get the sims you want as a vampire downtown, car or taxi doesnt matter.
Vampires show up after about midnight, and there is no garauntee they will show up so sometimes it take a few tries =]
They have gray skin, red eyes, and their names have Count or Countess in them XD so its kind of obvious who they are.
After your sims becomes friends with them, the vampire will automatically bite them after a while. I THINK you can have another sim influence it, but I'm not sure.
Hope this helps
I'm on the shorter/smaller side (5'0" and I have a 26" waist) and I'm not getting any taller (I'm taller than my mom). My style tends to be on the more "preppy" side. Anyone have any suggestions on where (or what brands) to buy jeans without having to get them altered? I have quite a few Buckle jeans already. I'm not a big fan of skinny jeans, but I'm open to ANY ideas/suggestions.
16/F
Thanks:)
Old Navy ^_^
I'm a 5'0 size 4...but the jeans come in all sizes really. The tag will say Regular, Tall, or Short or some variation of that...some are a combination like Tall and Skinny, but you could probably just get some Short Jeans =] there are at least a couple short style in each type of jeans they have too.

if your peeing blood, but not THICK blood(if its thick GO. TO. A. DOCTOR.), just a bit, then it is probably just a kidney infection. Tell your mom you have a kidney infection and she can take you to the doctor to get some antibiotics, or you can just make sure you get some *100%*(make sure its 100%)cranberry juice from the store and soon! If you drink a large cup or more of cranberry juice every day then the pain you experience when you use the bathroom should clear up in a week or two(also try to keep from drinking soda, too much carbonated drinks can be the cause of this). If this doesnt work it could be something else and I strongly urge you to go to the doctor, although a kidney infection is definetely what it sounds like to me. You didnt tell us how long this has been going on so its hard to tell what the vaginal thing could be. But urinary infections can be the result of not being clean down there and so could the discharge your experiencing. So change your undies often and try to wash up, if it doesnt go away then tell your mom to take you to the doctor...it will be embarrassing but you wont be sick ^_^ Try not to worry these things should clear by themselves with the advice I gave you.
Okay, my boyfriend's mom had a stroke and is in the hospital. She's not expected to make it much longer. Every time he calls me, I have no idea what to say to him. I can't really give him advice, and I don't want to say "everything's going to be okay" because clearly it's not. Any ideas on what I can say to him? I can't go see him and just comfort him because he lives a few hours away.
Just tell him that you love him(if your comfortable with that) and your there for him...its hard to comfort someone in a time like this and I'm sure he will understand why you dont have much to say =[
Be a good listener...maybe him telling someone how he feels will make him feel better. Tell him you wish you were there, but above all just be a good listener.Dont try to tell him you know what hes going through...these kind of situations are different for everyone and he might not take it very well.
Hope you find a way to comfort him
Alright, well I was talking to my friend and she said her friend ( who idk cause this girls in a grade lower than me ) is going to a party and just asked if i wanted to come to, and it was fine with her friend.
So if you were me and didn't nobody there except one person, would you go?
I'm just afraid the girl I do know'll be off talking to a thousand people, and I'll be sitting in the corner.. just sitting there.
I hope I helped.
It depends what kind of person your friend is....If you think she wont neglect you(and if shes a good freind she wouldnt) then I say you should go! This has happened to me before at a freinds birthday party...it was a party with 4 other girls besides me there and I ended up getting along really well with all of them =)
If its a reasonable sized party and you think your friend wont forget about you then go, and maybe suggest some group activities like truth or dare to make sure everyone hangs out together and wont leave someone out ^_^
im quite skinny but im very pear shaped. what are some really good slimming/toning exercises for my hips/butt/legs especially thighs. no yoga or pilates please. and something simple i can do at home that doesnt take too long but shows good results. thanks.
Well a couple years ago I got really weird about fitness since summer was ending and I wanted to be more fit, I decided to do squats for my legs and butt =] It worked really well and I lost 2 inches off my butt in a few weeks to a month(I dont remember clearly how long it was since this was a couple years ago
To do a squat you bend at the knees slowly until your thighs are parellel to the ground as if you are sitting on air, you hold this for as long as you can, clench your lower body muscles and come up slowly and then repeat until your all tuckered out =P I did ALOT a night sometimes up to 50(5 sets of 10 with a 5 minute break in between) and the results were really good.
Occaisionally I also did this other thing which I have no name for but my mom suggested -
You lay on your stomach and while keeping your torso flat you lift your leg(from the hip joint) and keep it there for as long as you can until you get tired(keep your leg as straight at you can) this also works really well on legs and butt but I think I can credit my loss of inches to the squats more ^_^
Hope this helped
no..actually im in 7th grade.
and wen my parents say NO DATING they mean having a school boyfriend.they're not even thinking about going out on dates.
i dont even own make-up so i cant sneak some on at schooll..
OHHH.
and i forgot to mention
i am the worst liar in the entire world
so its impossible to lie to my parents!
xP so borrow from a friend if its that important to you! Get them to give you a makeover when you get to school =P other than that I really cant help you ;[
As far as dating goes, your only in 7th grade =] you have plenty of time for that later! And yes I know that sounds really corny and cliche but its trueee
(can you beleive it wont let us say l o l? -.-)
ok so heres how it goes with my familyy..
*no cell fones until you REALLY REALLY need it(does high school ring a bell?)
*NO makeupp (only lipglosss..which doesnt count)
*no dating(even tho i have had like 2 boyfriends)
it totally stinkss.
i dont know if this is something that you can give advice to but i just wanted someone to hear me complain.
what would you do if your parents had these rules?
i've tried a couple of stradegies but ABOSUELT NOTHINGG works!
Well you never said your age so I'm guessing your.....a freshman in highschool or going in?
But to answer your question my parents have the exact same rules. Except I dont have a cellphone because they dont want to pay for it, I have to get a job haha. Not everyone has a cellphone =[ some parents dont want their kids to have one and some just flat out cant afford it. For now just borrow from a friend when you need a phone outside your house.
As far as make up goes[this sounds bad but if your in highschool/8th grade] go to school and put it on, then before you go home take it off. My friends do it all the time. Some peoples parents arent open to having their daughters wear make-up since its seen as a way to attract boys etc. but if your a teenager [14 or so] I would say go ahead and do it[you asked what *I* would do].....dont go over board though ;] dont pile it on.
As for boys, you can have a boyfriend and not actually go out on DATES. Have you asked them about having a school boyfriend? Or going on group dates? That might make your parents feel a bit better about having their daughter be with a boy =P I'm still not allowed to date alone until I'm 16 which is another year, so dont feel way left out.
If you get really frustrated with your parents just know that they are trying their best to be good to you and have great intentions....it might not seem fair to you now but it might later you never know ^^
hope this helped =P
I have dirty blonde hair,green eyes and fair to beige skin.
I usually don't wear eye shadow much, but I thought I would step out.
What eye shadow colors would look good on me? And should I wear blush or bronzer?
thanks!
Purple, blue, and any earth colors for green eyes lol it depends on occaision. Earthy(shades of brown) for special occaisions, purple and blue for casual/parties etc. If your skin is mid fair/beige use either but be careful with bronzer some girls go ridiculously wild with it.
Is there any way to get rid of racism? I have a little bit of ethnic prejudice......I feel awful, and I'm trying to get rid of it as much as I can..........this feeling is horrible. Is it possible to get rid of an ethnic prejudice?
Its very possible to get rid of it, since its you that your talking about. Simply by feeling bad about it you are begining to change yourself! Change your ideals, if it was your parents who made you think this way then realize that you are your own person with your own mind, if you know racism is wrong then listen to yourself and not anyone else. Its your mind, change the way it works ^^

Dont try to label yourself, sexuality is fluid ^_^ to put it simply - you are attracted to people you find are attractive. Try not to worry about it and go with the flow, maybe you are attracted to her -- maybe shes attracted to you. Follow your heart gender shouldnt matter. Sorry if this sounds like an add for gay pride or something LOL but I truely believe sexuality is something you cant control and shouldnt be stressed over.
i have blue/green -ish eyes.
and blonde hair.
medium skin not PALE, kinda tan but not dark.
what are some good eye makeup ideas for me? i don't want drastic ideas just natural looking.. eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara stuff like that.
thanks sooo much.
picutes and step-by-step instructions would be GREAT!!
thanks again.
Well for eyeshadow it depends
If your eyes are more blue than green, go with a blue-ish color or a green color(nothing bright and glittery LOL soft colors)
If your eyes are more green than blue, go with an earthy color like brown
I also went to a salon with a freind who has Greenish blueish eyes and the make over chick used purple to reallu set off her eyes too(she is blond aswell)
The way I've always been told to do it, and also been done to me by proffesionals is to use a lighter color on the whole lid up to around the eyebrow, a bit darker on the area from your top lashes to just under the curve of the...I dont know...'bone under your eyebrow' sorry I'm turning up blanks ;] and then an even darker color between those two areas, especially on the outer corners of your eyes. You can also use a *little* on the outside of your eyeliner on your bottom lashes to set off your eyes.
with your hair and especially eye color I could recoment a *dark* blue eyeliner, liquid or stick is your choice. I have a freind with all those color combinations and hers looks awesome! ^_^
If you use dark blue eyeliner though always use a dark blue mascara.
I couldnt find any pictures but I hope I helped
Ok, yes, it is almost halloween and I have no ides where to get a costume or what to be. I'm a female, pls help!
I had this exact same problem! If your really stuck on money and all else fails you could wear a gotee and be 'your evil twin'. My favorite I've heard is be a conspiracy theorist, wear a nice shirt with coffee stains, messed up hair, twitch alot, holding a fist full of government type papers, LOL
Or a pregnant woman is good if your trick or treating 'one for me and one for my baby' :]the site given above buycostumes is a good place to get them, but if your a teen they dont have a HUGE selection. Hottopic had as few good ones too but they are fairly expensive.
