no mascara or anything else just eyeliner on lower eyelid. (link)
Depends how much, if you don't overdue it. Then it should look okay.


I'm going to try to keep this from getting too long, but I don't know if that is possible! I'm 20 years old, in school and working while living with my mom. My parents just got divorced in January. My dad cheated on my mom with two different women- both were ongoing affairs and he is still seeing the last woman. My mom has been with him since she was 16 and is devistated. My dad was not involved in my life while I was growing up. He didn't show any interest in me and was very verbally abusive. Now that he is divorced, he sees what he lost and now is trying to be a part of my life. I appreciate it... however, I'm just so incredibly disgusted by him and seeing my mom so upset and depressed really makes me resent him. I don't know how to move forward with this and how far into my life I should let him. It's a tough situation. Thoughts? (link)
I'm sorry.

Do you want to see him? Because if you do, even if you are disgusted by him (which I totally understand) then maybe you should arrange a timetable, after talking with your mum and arrange times to see him. Like on weekends, or once a week..

If not, then don't. Tell him, you want nothing to do with him.

He is you father though, and if he loves you and wants to be apart of your life, thats something at least.


-My dad cheated on my mum, and caused a lot of problems in my family, my mum even attempted suicide, something I'll never forgive my dad for. But were a family, and we've stuck together.-

Do whatever you think is best, for you and your mum.

Good luck. Hope your family works it out.


im 14/male and i think im gay for awhile now ive been attracted to guys and i really like a guy were friends we hang out a lot together
and ive developed strong feelings for him im a bit nervous and not sure how to tell him how i feel i think he likes me so do i just talk to him im worried if he rejects me and i dont want it to get out i might get picked on what should i do? (link)
First off, at 14, you're too young to label yourself as gay or straight. I do realise that you may be classed as gay when you're older, but for now it's only really classed as being attracted to a guy.

Being gay or liking the same sex will always be perceived as being different, thats just how things are unfortunatly, but today being gay is much more acceptable. At your age, being in school and being gay is never easy, but being your true self is more important, then having people like you.

If you really like this guy, you should find out if he likes you more then a friend (or if he is 'gay') Therefore if you are certain he won't reject you, or your friendship won't be ruined because of it, you can tell him how you feel, and he should reciprocate.

Sometimes things don't happen the way you want them, don't be disheartened if he doesn't like you in that way, try to stay friends with him instead.

Even if he isn't 'gay' don't feel like you can't tell him. If you feel comfortable enough to tell him, go ahead, but that doesn't mean you can't come out, if you are indeed 'gay' and aren't just attracted to him.

It's possible to be straight and just be attracted to one guy- that usually means you're bisexual though.

You could tell him that you may be 'gay' or have feeling towards guys. See how he reacts if he reacts badly, if may not be a good idea to tell him you like him. If he is okay with it, then tell him you like him, but be gentle- don't spring it on him.

This is always a tough subject (Sexuality)
I hope it works out, either way. Good luck.

Just ask if you need more help.

Hi im 13 years old and i like this guy but i get nervous around him and i cant really even talk to him on the phone cause im so nervous and i get my younger brother to talk to him for me but what do i do? p.s major need help!
how do i ask him if he likes me more than a friend since i get nervous? (link)
Since you are only 13 years old it's natural that you are nervous, but don't get your younger brother to talk to him. It will make it awkward for him, and won't help your situation.

I'm assuming the guy you like is nice enough, therefore it should be okay just to go ahead and talk to him. Find something that interests you both, or start a converstation in school (if you have the same lessons)

If you are already friends/ or become good friends, you should be able to find out if he likes you more then a friend just by asking him.

Approach it carefully, and don't push it, if he doesn't like you in that way or doesn't tell you.

Good luck.

well i had went out with my boyfriend for the first time since we been together and he wanted to kiss bt the point is i havent really kissed a boy like that and i told him and he doesnt know how to teach.so wat should i do (link)
Kissing can't be taught really, it just happens if you care for him then it'll happen. If he likes you and is patient, you'll be fine. Just kiss him, take it slow, without tongue until your use to it.

If you've never kissed someone before you always wonder how to do it, but really you just need to try it and it'll come naturaly.

Don't worry. Good look.

Alright, so this boy I like was flirting with me in 2nd hour like crazy, and so I teased him and gave him a hug and all that, and he grabs my arm to keep me from giving hugs etc. etc. and my friend says "Quit flirting, you can do better than him."


Well I told my mom about it all and she says I gotta be careful or people will call me a slut. (I've not even had my first kiss yet though so that's impossible...)


So..... it's not like this happens everyday, the hugging thing I mean. So, am I still ok as long as this doesn't go on all the time or is my image already not very good?

(link)
Don't worry, I give hugs all the time, everyone loves hugs, I hug girls and guys. Though when I/my friends hug guys people assume were going out, which is annoying... anyways it's fine, hugging people just shows your affectionate, your defo not a slut or anything.
Don't listen to people like that, if you just like him as a friend - then hugging if fine because you hug your friends.
But if you do like him and want things to progress don't go to far, talk to him. 15 is an alright age for hugging and kissing, but don't push it.
Your image will be fine, don't overdue it, people in my school act like that often enough and it just puts people off, so just be youself and don't worry.


My friend is a guy and I am worried about what he may think. I acctualy like the guy but i know we can only be friends i just want to tell him I am bi. Maybe ask how he feels about gays and bis and go from there? M 15 (link)
I think you should tell him, he will be much happier that you told him, instead of finding out later on and wondering why you didn't tell him(your friend) that you are bi.

If he truly is a friend, he will stick by you, and don't worry being gay/bi is more common and socially acceptable these days, I'm sure he will be fine with it.

Maybe find out his views on gays/bis, see how he will react, before you tell him. But tell him, be truthful to him and yourself.

good luck.


well, we spent all day yesterday because it was a performance night so we had to be together all day with the band. i didnt see my band for a total of 4 hours yesterday which is okay because i like our conductor. now, on to why i am asking for advice. i think he likes me back but im not sure because we dont talk but every time i look at him on the podium he is watching me. also we needed to add something really quick and we didnt know what we were doing so he was in charge, because he is the drum major. as he was giving direction he would walk up in line next to my section and give direction, i just thought that was weird because my section is in the front of the line, i though he would have went to the middle to tell us what to do. so our band director told him to take the front of the line in and as he was he, the boy i like, put his hand on my shoulder and directed us where to go. he also, always tenses his shoulders and walks perfectly when he marches by me. i know that isnt many things but everybody in my band said we would look cute together we just run in to different social circles. so, does he like me? if so, why doesnt he talk to me? he doesnt shut up around anyone else in the band. any advice is appreciated!! (link)
I believe he does, guys often act in such a way, depending on their personality. I do think however that he does fancy you, he may just be too shy or unnerved to ask you out.

It depends what you mean by different social circles, because if he truly believes in social status he may not ask you out. However if he doesn't believe in that much then I'm sure it will be okay and it may take time but he will eventually ask you.

If he doesn't then don't be afraid to ask him, or at least hint that you want to go out, or you fancy him, it will make all the difference. He may be afraid that you don't feel the same way, then he may not want to ask you, and be put down. Don't be scared, you'll never know, unless you ask.

good luck.


OK,So Im just going to get straight to the point.
One of my "friends" doesnt want to be friends anymore...for some reason.
The problem seemed like it all started on Facebook,but even before that,he's been acting "distant"...Hardly saying anything to me,pretty much acting like I dont exist.

Im not sure how I feel about this. I was sad at first,but now...Im getting really pissed off.
Why? Because one,I sent him a message,and he actually didnt even reply and he removed me from his "friends list",and two...This kind of crap happens ALL the time. Which is why I like putting up a wall and keep people out,cause I always get hurt like this.

So what should I do? Should I ACT like I dont care? Or should I just act like it didnt happen?
I really dont know what to do!!! (link)
This is quite common, friends always fall out or simply just fall apart.

If you are truly friends with Him and you still want to be friends then you should talk to Him, and ask why he is ignoring you, then you'll know.

However if your not that bothered perhaps it's best that you don't stay friends, maybe you don't have the same personality. You said you often put up walls, if your not open with people, then it'll usually never work out.

Me and my friends sort of fell out with one of my friends just because she never contributed, she never enjoyed the time with us and never seemed to be interested in us, more really to just have friends - so she wouldn't be cast as a loner.

Therefore talk to Him, if you really care about Him, if not then I believe it's best if you go your seperate ways.
