i know girls are thought of as weak, and its just SO "normal" for us to be moody all the time but im sure others wonders the same: what kind of curse is this? im not talking about the stereotype, but about the actual hormones that make me this way. i was diagnosed with clinical depression less than a year ago, and its just getting the best of me. my feelings are screwed up, and being toyed with, and i feel so lonely. this life is so stupid, so pointless, and so confusing. i've been thinking about suicide a lot for the longest. im not saying im going to do it, cause im stronger than that, but now i understand people that feel there's no way out. i just dont think anything's worth it anymore. i know im not special, but no one seems to want to listen, and i've failed on getting through this on my own. i shouldn't feel as if life is a battlefield, and i've barely gotten through another day. i dont think its normal. and what's the point of waking up again tomorrow, only to re-do it all again? thnX for reading.

I'm not about to give you adivce or convince you you're wrong about everything. I too am clinically depressed and theres nothing really anyone can do to change our minds on life. Just thought you might want to know I'm here if you ever just want to talk.


Hi, im 14 years old and this is my first year of high school. Tommorow I am going on a movie date with a guy I really really like. The problem is im really nervous. I've never been on a date before and I know he's more... experienced then me in some aspects. I want to make this date work and not act really dumb. Any ideas to make the date go easier and tips so I can stop being so nervous? Thanks for reading this (link)
The first date will always be oen you remember, and jsut becasue your going on a date with an experienced guy doesnt mean that anyhting you have to worry about is going to happen. Pretend its like anyother time going to the movies with your friends, talk about stuff, a seriousle enjoy yourself! There is no need to be nervous! Like someone else already said you could tell him your nervous about it. If he's a good guy I'm sure he'll understand. Good luck and have fun!


First I'll give you a brief description of my hair
Length: Just about 1mm above shoulders
Color: Dull Blondish brownish
Type: Frizzy/Wavy

ok i have wavy frizzy hair naturally and all the "controlling products that i use barely help, so please don't suggest anymore.
but i just need to know what are some ways to make hair look neat and pretty, it doesnt have to be like superstar but just something simple to do in about 30-50 minutes. straightening my hair because it my hair is about 5 layers thick and shoulder lenth straightening it usually takes 2 hrs!!
thanks and i know this can be a difficult question for my hair type. (link)
My hair sounds very much the same as yours only a little longer, and thats only because when i cut my hair (even shorter then yours) the same things happened. I tended to striaghten my hair a lot tho, and from what it sounds we both have a lot of hair and i know 2-2 1/2 hours of striaghtening is hard! Try scrunching your hair. Thats when you get right out of the shower... dont completely dry it, but enough that itys not dripping, and take any type of moose product and pull it through your hair then scrunch your hair in your hands with more moose. Then you can go through with a little hair wax which really helps with frizz. You can spray it too.. but tis not always nessisary.
I liked to wear it with a small clip, pulling the front back or a head band, usualy looks cute!
Hope this helps!


I have the biggest anxiety problems. Over the tiniest most stupidest things. Like, if I lose something in school, I won't stop thinking about it for like...ever. I don't know what to do. This worry thing is driving me insane..How can a person overcome it? (link)
Heres the thing, were all stressed, and although your case may be more serious about less serious things, its the same. Most people have their own ways of calming themselves down a little. I have a similar problem except mine makes less sense... i get stressed out over dinnertime...not the ppl or anything, just the time... its strange.I do some breathing exercises: breath in through your nose and out through your mouth, then breath in through your nose, hold it for 5 seconds, and let it out, repeat once more but hold for 5 seconds after releasing the breath as well. It seems too simple but this simple breathing can really calm you down. if this is not an on the spot stress thing like an all day thing going home lying down for a little and listening to some good music is great! Away from other, work, phones, or stressful things! Good luck, and just remember to breath... one more thing... think about why this thing would be such a bad thing to happen, most of the time its not as much to worry about as you may be making yourself think.=)
Hope this helps!


I am goin through puperty and im 13 and im afriad to ask my mom for stuffand stuff so what do i do heLp!!!!!!!!!!!!! (link)
I had the same problem, and I know a lot of girls at first were very uncomfortable discussing all this stuff with their parents. Calmly you should just walk into a conversation with your mom in a private place. tell her you've seen the stuff at school on puberty and tell her you've started going through it. Ask her if she can buy you some pads. Most parents are good about not making nthose kinds of things too awkward. Good luck!
Hope this helps!


k so i have a silver dress and black shoes for homecoming. what color should i paint my nails? (link)
French manicures seems to always look pretty and go well with a lot, especially your colors! If thats not the kind of thing you want, you could always do a silvery, glossy, peachy, or eggshell type color. Oh! Or back to the french manicure idea, you could always add colors to the manicure llike white and black instead or peach and white... always fun!
Hope this helps!


I seem to know how to do other's makeup pretty well. You know? For light colored eyes and tan or pale skin. The right foundation and blush for them.

But I can't do that for myself. i don't know why. I'm not really tan nor pale. I have dark brown eyes..and black eyeliner looks.. rather bad on me. I don't know how to rock a makeup look :\ the foundation is either too pale or gives off a fake tan. any tips? ;[ (link)
You son't always need foundation. Try just covering up w/e needs to be other wise show your gorgeous natural skin! Try brows eye-liner or even fun colors like suttle blue or green, they can add a nice touch and really bring out your eyes!
Hope this helps!


k so picture day is tommorow, and i have a zit right smack dab on my face, and its so noticable. HELP! (link)
well it sounds bad but pop it. Then squeeze out all the puss and liquid until some blood comes out. Keep a little toilet paper on it for a while til the bleeding stops. Then put something on it like zit cream, or toothpaste. Keep applying that. wash your face a couple times before you go to sleep and re-apply cream (or w/e) then in the morning wash again, and pick off any small scab there might be, most of the time it might be a little pink but nothing you cant cover with cover up over more cream, a lot easier then trying to cover something thats protruding off your head! Touch up for the pics also works!!
Hope this helps!


i like a girl, and i think she likes me but i don't know exactly how to land it and start dating

help! (link)
Well, I like you already, admitting that to yourself is the first step and thats good! If you beleive she likes you too, I doubt you have as much to worry about as you think. Be sweet and calm about things. Get her somewhere that's semi-alone so she wont be pressured into making a specific decision, then just tell her about the way you feel, ask her if she would want to be your gf, and don't forget to mention how much you'd love to be with her! That's always great to hear!
Hope this helps!


my boyfriend and i have been together a year and this past month has been really bad, we have stopped really talking and such(and yes we are intimate)but last night was homecoming and we just stood there it felt really weird, i was wondering if yall have any ideas on how we can rebuild our friendship.(breaking up is not an option) thanks :] (link)
Breaking up should never be an option especially after a year! Hopefully you guys are close enough that you can talk about this stuff together. Talking is the key, let him know how you feel about your connection (or lack of one). Tell him how you feel. Ask him things like "Is everything OK?" or "How are you?" They seem like dumb things to say, but sometimes it's just small problems that have to do with his life outside your relationships that may be putting your relationship down. Asl osee if he has noticed anyhting like what you mentioned, if so that's good, a sence of agreement makes room for good improvment. If so without trying to be nosy and butting in see if theres anyhting you can do to help him out or feel better. Try talking a little about things he's interested in, regular conversations are great! Joking around and being flirty is also good! My bf and I used to play games when we had nothing to talk about. Keeping not bored with eachother will keep from being awkward.
Help this helps! =)


I really like this boy. A LOT. But, I haven't even talked to him once. We're both shy. I cant stand not talking to him. How can i get over being shy and talk to him? I want to be his friend and hopefully his girlfriend (link)
OK! Now I really need to just assume because you didn't give me a lot of information... but what it sounds like is a connection! I know that sounds crazy, but if your both shy, especially you wouldn't know... Hopefully you have classes together or see him during the day if so, GOOD! The first thing you want to be sure of, is that he knows who you are. Maybe try asking him for class notes, or if he knows the time. Stupid small questions can even make him think about you, and know who you are! If you have already gotten that far, thats great! The next thing you want to think about, is friendship! Think about the way you treat your friends... call him for HW help, chat with him about class work, or teachers you both have... casual conversation. Then if all goes well, you'll hopefully see eachother more comfortably. Try walking to classes with him, sitting near him, working with him. If you can do that girl, you can do anything! Getting him to be your bf is a snap after that!


Tomorrow in gym, we will be doing the mile run/walk. I was just wondering if anyone could give me good advice on getting a good time, or not getting really tired, how not to get that pain in my side, and maybe how to breathe or something. Thanks! (link)
I must have ran the mile in gym a billion times! I can honestly say I hate running! I know how you feel... since 5th grade, I've gotten a lot better at making it through the run alive and with a pretty good time, heres what I tried:
1. This simple breathing exercise sounds so easy, and it is! Just breath in through your nose and out through your mouth as steadily as possible. You may think you look or sound ridiculous, but it really does help to not lose your breath, and to make it easier to keep going.
2. Take wide steps, not to the point that you have to strech so far its putting you in pain, just so you have a wider stride.
3. Run with someone you has a similar pace to you. You guys can keep eachother going, while keeping casual conversation to help the time pass quicker!
Hope this helps!


i've never kissed a guy before :[
how do you kiss? please explain to me with full details im kind of slow hahaa
thankss, (link)
Kissing is... kissing! It's meant to be a sign of affection or love for someone else. If you want to kiss someone because you believe you have those kind of feelings for them, it will be easier then you think! A peck is a peck, and even just closed mouth kissing can be romantic and nice sometimes. Kissing "with tongue" or "making out" can be confusing if you never have... really all you have to do is just lick around the lips of whoever your kissing, make circles around their mouth, and if he's kissing you with tongue too, its nice sometimes to just swirl your tongues together. Each couple has their own way of kissing. If you just want to kiss because you never have been before thats fine too, but you don't need to be worried about it, its ok to learn from expereience! =)
