Hi, please, please help me, i am 14 years old and have a lot of spots/acne they are so horrible all over my forehead nose cheeks and chin, they are all horrible and red and pussy.
Can you recommend any good creams that actually really work, or any natural things like eat this or make that and put it on your face?
Thank you so much to all of you in advance.

~Drink LOTS of water
~eat healthier, it is said that vegitarians usually have good complexions because they don't eat greasy meat.
~Try not to touch your face, even though it might be hard.
~Wash your face with soap and water every night and morning.
~Neutrogena, Clearisil, and Pro active are some of the top Acme treatments.
~It is said that if you put toothpaste on the pimple before you go to bed, it will help it to dissapear.

Those are all I can think of off the top of my head lol. You can always type in "getting rid of Acne" on google.

Hope I helped!

i cant stop crying now and i want to get back at her but im not that mean so what do i do?? (link)
I agree with the user who posted below. Just don't tell her who you like. It's none of her business if she's going to try to steal your guy.


Why do some people think that saying Jesus's name in vain is okay while saying God's name in vain isn't? Yeah, God is our Lord but Jesus is still a higher being.


Not that my religious view matter in this question but I am not Christian which might explain my perplexity to the situation.


In class today we were reading a play and my teacher announced that if we come by a profound word we do not have to say it. A student in my class came across "God!" as she was reading out loud and replaced the word with "Jesus!" because she claimed saying God's name in vain is wrong. I know this girl is Christian.


I completely agree that we should not use God's name in vain but why should Jesus's name be any different? I of course snapped at the girl and asked about the situation. She could not give me a straight answer so I'm wondering if someone else can. Or was she just an idiotic high school student (link)
It all depends on opinions and religion. Some people think god and jesus are the same and others think differently. She was probably just flustered by the situation, and was trying to find a different word to replace it with. I think that using God's name in vain is the same as using Jesus's.

Hope I helped!

Ohhkay. Where to start. I'm confused. It really would be great to get some older opinions on this question. My topic is: teenage love. What does everyone think of it? Because all my friends, or a fair few, will have a boyfriend who they keep for a week or a month or two and they'll be from day one, "head over heels in love". Now, I for one think that's ridiculous! They're 15/16 year olds and, in particular examples, they'll have a week or two, maybe a month of I love You after they met about 2 days previously - or online or something, and then it stops. I for one think that love can't be anything more than infatuation, but I think this has become the image of teenage love. Now I started going out with my boyfriend 11 months ago and I knew I didn't love him at the start. It was like a 15 year old crush on both parts. I didn't admit to myself I loved him until about 5 months had passed. And even then I didn't say it verbally. Now, at 11 months I feel like I can talk about it freely with him and we've never been closer; I really can't see the end right now, even though everything inevitably ends. But my parents seem to think that it won't last and I'm being ridiculous, wanting to see him so much. They say it won't last, although compared to my friends, me and my boyfriend are practically an old aged married couple - they say its ridiculous that tennagers can possibly even contemplate the meaning of the word 'love'. They also say that what I have is hardly a commitment or any kind of dedication even though I feel completely commited , which I will admit came with time (about a month or two, even more so now). I just want to know - is this true? Have any of you ever experienced or seen 'teen love' do anything but crash and burn compared to the relationships people have when slightly older? Do you think that for some people, like me, it could last? Or is it, in your opinion also, likely to end and be forgotten about? Do you think there is more of a sense of commitment when you're more mature or an equal amount?

Thankyou! Your feedback is
VERY MUCH appreciated

Well, I know I'm younger than what you wanted, but I can answer most of it :]. I thnk you can love someone without BEING in love with them. I love my boyfriend but I know I am not in love with him. I agree, kids these days use the word to much. I think teens that are like "oh I love you so and so" Mean they love the feeling of not being alone. The idea that they always have someone (for the time being). Then again, there are those that find love very young. I know a happily married couple that started dating in 8th grade! I'm kindof in your position, and I think your parents might be worried. You know, they don't want a) your heart broken. They don't want you to get your hopes up so they're warning you early. And b), they don't want you to think that you're ready for marriage or anything. I don't know any parents that exactly ENCOURAGE their children to get married at 15-16 (assuming that's your age). You know how parents are, always worried ha ha ;] anyway, I hope you find your answer somewhere in this big mass of...ramble. ha ha hope I helped!

15/f/freshman

kay so i have a boyfriend and we've been dating for about 3 months. it's not that long i know but is it bad that like i don't tell him everything and i know things about him but like not everyyything? it seems like everytime i see someone being a couple they know everrything about eachother and tell them everyyyything. i'm kinda shy and new to the whole actual dating and going places with a boyfriend so i get kinda nervous around him but it's gotten way better. also we started "dating" like a few days after we met so i think we're still developing in our relationship a lot. thats not bad right? and i love him but i'm not "in love" with him you know like it's a friend love but a little more then that.

another question, like i said i get nervous and like can't think of what to talk about around him because i'm so afraid that i'm going to sound dumb. i'm really insecure. how do should i attempt to break that shell?

i don't know, i think it might be better now that i have lunch with him next semester, so anyone who helps, thanks a ton, i mean it =] (link)
Congrats on the new Bf ;] anyway, no, it's completly normal to not know to much about your bf. I know I don't know everything about mine. It's ok to be shy and I have the exact same problem with shyness. Don't worry about being yourself in front of him. If he likes you for you, then he won't care one bit. I mean, I had a bf that was nervous around me, so he never did anything. We didn't talk practically at all. Just be yourself around him, it'll be fine :]

Hope I helped

Okay, I'm not confident hahahahaha. I've decided tomorrow to try and raise my confidence I'll do a tiny bit of flirting around the opposite sex.

I'm going into the city.

However we're just going to walk around we're not going to a specific place. What sort of guys should I approach and how should I start a conversation? Then how do I move on to flirt? and when would the right time be? I've seriously never done it in my life...except once accidentally hahahaha, that didn't go down too well. (link)
lol just make sure he's not with another girl ;] Ok, this is what I would do, if I were lucky enough to go into the city ha ha:

Casually, walk up to the guy of your choice and ask him something friendly, like "Hey, i'm lost could you show me where this place is?" Or something. When he is kind enough to show you the city, offer to buy him coffee or something as thanks. Drinking coffee, just talk with him, have fun, and be yourself. I hope you have a great time!

Hope I helped!

I have light blue eyes. I am basically what you would think of when you think of a girl from Sweden. I have this long curly light hair, fair skin, and really big blue eyes. I have grown kind of fond of my look, but I want to know if there's anyway I could make my eyes more exotic-looking? Just to see how it looks. I get kind of jealous when I see girls with long dark hair, tanned skin, curvy bodies and deep dark eyes. Their eyes are so beautiful. Could I get my eyes to look a bit more exotic? Thanks.

I don't like putting eyeliner too close to my tear ducts, just a tip for anyone who can help... (link)
Of course, eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow will work. I completly understand your thing on eyeliner lol. I've poked myself a billion times. Anyway, also, if you want dark eyes, colored contacts are also a great choice :) You could get brown contacts so that if you poked your eye with the eyeliner, you wouldn't feel it, AND you'd look amazing :D XD Good luck

I know that it's healthy to eat several meals a day, so your body always has energy and all that good stuff. Well, I also know that my dentist wants me to eat less often so the enamel on the teeth isn't worn away. I eat frequently throughout the day, and I was just wondering what your opinions and thoughts are. Like a good amount of meals that I should eat that's good for my teeth and by body. Thanks! (link)
I don't think you should eat less meals :/ try to get a different type of toothpaste. The kind that makes your enamel stay strong :]

Hope I helped!

Me and my sister are wanting to lose some weight for the New Year. Mainly the stomach and the thighs. If anyone has any tips, anything would be very helpful.

Thank you!

Happy New Year! (link)
Diet, drink water, and workout ;) It pays off. One thing I suggest is that you do not run, unless you can run long distances. Powerwalking might be better.

Hope I helped!

I dont look forward to going to school. I was wondering if there was anything i could do during the week (after school) to look forward to that way i could get through the day easier and look forward to the next day every day. (link)
There are many things you could do, such as:

1. Go to the mall with your friends after school. You don't even have to get anything. You could even go and see a movie! :)

2. Join an after school club. Make sure it's something you're intersted in, so you can make friends and have a lot of fun.

3. Perhaps you could have a study party? Invite some friends over, get some snacks, and have a great time!

These are just a few of MY suggestions of course, but there are many other ways too! Be creative and invite some friends, and you'll be looking forward to it the whole day :)

Hope I helped!

16/f. I hate this.
soo...a couple of years back, i got myself a boyfriend online..(VERY stupid idea) got REALLY attatched to him..and started crying over him and stuff (things you shouldn't do with people online) and I didnt realize it was bad..I was in "love" o.O..so, as you can imagine, when he broke up with me..i was in tears. he was 18 after all. so cool. oh yes, older guys. okay now..when i was 15, i met another guy. through connections with my 'ex' ...mutual friends. and he fell in 'love' with me. by that time, i was more aware of the dangers of the internet and didnt bother to tell him that i even liked him. because i didnt. i dont even know what the guy looks like..i dont wanna look at his pictures. lmao. but anyway, his burning love for me grew. and he's 18 as well. Then, his 22 year old girl-friend from the internet.. (pathetic, i know) who is at home all day playing video games and chatting with people..started talking bad about me...when she doesnt even know me. she claims that the 18 year old guy REALLY LIKED her...and that I'm taking him away from her. during this time, the guy insisted that he likes me so much more. and he kept on being mean to that 22 year old. so I'm like wtf? I don't know WHAT to do. cause I sure as hell don't want to stick around in this retarded love fest. I understand she may not have any friends..but falling for an 18 year old she's never met and then being all jealous about it...because he likes me? ..that's messed up. i'm so lost and confused. I would like to get out of this situation.I don't know how though. I'm sick of it. Sick of it all..
i really appreciate if you read this. any point of views would be appreciated. =)
the internet love triangle. haha (link)
The internet is a place where predators prey, people make themselves seem better then they really are, and people feel more important. Ok, i'm sorry to say this, but for all you know, these could be 2 thirty year old guys playing a mean trick on you. On the internet, almost nothing is ever what it seems. It's just reality. I suggest you tell this dude if you don't like him. Why be stuck inside the triangle when you could be on the outside, being happier and less confused? If you don't like him, tell him.

ok so im 14/f and still TERRIFIED of the dark. every night when i go to sleep i imagine murderers breaking in and killing me. I don't watch scary movies anymore, just a few here and there. the old ones still come back to haunt me, i'll remember any scary thought when it's nighttime. the fact that my house is PITCH BLACK at night doesn't help at all either. i really really desperately need help, i'm scared to go to bed at night. i can't even get up to go pee because im scared the killer with "hear me". i want to use a nightlight, but i don't want my parents to think i'm a wuss, i mean i'm 14!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me find a way to be comfortable in my own house at night. (link)
I know EXACTLY how you feel. Here are some ways that make me feel better at home :)

1. If you have a TV in your room, you can watch something humorous/happy before/during you sleep. I like to fall asleep with my TV turned on, because part of my fright is the noises your mind exatterates

2. Radio. Music can always help you block out the creepy sounds and thoughts

3. Just know that there is nothing out there. Keep a phone near you when you sleep, so that you can be reassured that anything that happens, you will be safe.

This fright is completly normal, and everyone has there own ways of helping themselves get over it. Like me, I found that the direction of where I sleep and the position of my bed plays a big part. I sleep facing the door and my bed is in the corner. :) trust me, it helps. I hope you get over your fears, and feel free to ask me any other questions.

Hope I helped,

i've been getting the hiccups a lot lately and i'll have them for like twenty minutes and they're pretty bad and i can't seem to get rid of them no matter what. and it happens a lot. is this normal? (link)
Eh, I doubt anything is "wrong" with you. Ever read 'Ripley's Believe it or Not'? There are some people who continuously hiccup for years! If you're really worried though, just call your docter and talk to him/her about it. Good luck getting rid of them lol. :)


14f.
155 lbs.
type 1 diabetes / thyroid problems.
i want to lose weight really badly, i want to do that special k diet and i was wondering if anyone knows if it works well.
also, i need way to keep my self motivated, i just don't feel like going to the gym sometimes, and if i go to the gym, i usually end up eating a lot after and gaining all th calories i burned off back.
help please, also i want to know how i can get to a size 3 or 5 in pants.
im like a 9 or 11 now. (link)
well, first of all, I applaud you for wanting to stick to it :) Some things you can do to help you lose weight:

- Drink 8 glasses of 16 oz. waters a day, cooled to about 40 degrees f. That burns about 200 calories a day :)

-start walking. I suggest you don't run unless you can run long distances. and when you do walk, powerwalk so you get a workout.

- make a calorie/weight chart. fill it out every day so you can track your improvements. this will definitely keep you motivated when you see that you're improving

I don't know too much about the special diets, but I will say that everyone can have their own special diet that works best for them. experiment with some healthy foods and see what works best with your body
hope I helped!

Does anyone know any sites where they have MSN emoticons, but they are the CLASSICAl yellow faces, but other expressions?

thankyou :) (link)
I go to photobucket and type in "old smiley" or "2d smiley" that's how I find mine!


Im a 15 year old male about 120 pounds wanting abs bad, I just want to have a nice six pack. I want to get abs quick and fast and wondering the best ways I can them in about 3-5 weeks. I dont have anything to help me like boflex or anything all ive got is my floor. (link)
try sit ups. set a goal and follow a sit up schedule


Okay.. I'm going to break up with my boyfriend of 1 year. He is probably going to cry etc. but i want to make at as painless as possible and just get it done and over with. How can i make it easy on the both of us? (link)
well, for one, DON'T do it over the phone, computer, text etc. Ok, ask him to meet you a certain day so you can "talk". that will kindof give him the idea that it's serious so he can have a day or so to think about it and be prepared. when you meet up, just say "hey this is really hard for me but this isn't working out." then tell him why. hope i helped!
