Q: Dear Deena,
I have a problem as you can see. I'm a model and I happen to be really really really rediculously good looking. It's really hard for me because I went out to get some orange mocha frapachinno's with my other really really really re-diculously looking friends and we got into a really really really rediculously fun gasoline fight, but my friends, he lit a match (which was really really really re-diculously inintelligent) and the three died. I was the really really really re-diculously good looking ugugilizer at the funeral...if you don't know what that is it's a person that speaks at funerals...duh! So my problem is...I'm really down in the dumps, but DONT take that too litteral because I would never dress like someone who really was down in the dumps. Ha ha! Oh my really really really re-diculously holy lord! I am so dar funny! So...how do I become opposite of down in the dumps, (not litteraly), should I become high in the un-dumps?
Anonomous really really really re-diculously good looking model...a he he! There's that funny again!

haha joey

well i think that the only thing you have left to do would be to go find another really really rediculously good looking model who broke his nose like 6 times and then you guys can build a school for ants who cant read. if that doesnt work, then you can always go back to working with your family in the cole mines. when your commercial comes on, remember that you are a, cough couch merMAN!

hahaha ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCINOS!!!! haha

Q: Well recently my best freind told me that she no longer wanted to be my friend just because i wasnt pretty enough and all most everyone has to disagree with that she also told me i didnt have enough money because i could never go out to the mall movies ect.. very often cuz i never had the money. Then she wrote me a note in class today and said you dont have a good enough body to be my friend im only friends with people that weigh less than 103pounds! SO what should i do to prove to her i am a good person even though i dont have as much money to spend as she does? Should i start skipping meals to loose weight? Should i duble my gumnastics classes i mean i go once a week for 3.5 hours and its really expencive so how do i prove it to her? Please help!!!!!

you shouldn't stay friends with her anyway if she treats you this way. if everyone else disagrees with what she says, then they're probably on your side. if you have all those other people who are your friends, trust me you really dont need her. dont try to change anything about your self for her sake. its her loss anyway!

Q: okay i'm 14 and i really want to tone up my body.. i have muscle working tapes and i do crunches, sit ups, crunch machines, squats, kicks, etc... i have a good work out plan

i'm not fat and i don't really wanna loose weight.. i just want to make my stomach flatter and hard and tone up my legs so theyre not as flabby.. kinda like jessica simpson.. she's got nice toned legs and stomach but shes not like overly thin like nicole richie..

now since i'm 14.. it's so hard to diet cause i'm growing and i havta see all my friends eat and i cant.. is there any way i can eat whatever i want and still get the body i want by just working out and not doing the diet part of it?

please give real answers.. this is really important to me

I want the same thing as you. I play field hockey, and for the daily warm-up we have to do leg lifts. After a few weeks of doing them, I really started to notice a difference in my stomach. you should give them a try. here's what you do:
lie flat on your back, then lift your legs up about 6 inches off the ground and hold for 10 seconds. do at least 10 reps. per day.

Q: I'm sick of wearing my hair the same all the time; down and ponytails.
I need new easy simple qiuck to do hairstyles.
Sites are helpful.

Also if any of you watch the show Friends then you probably know what I am talking about. Jennifer Aniston sometimes does this cute hairstyle where her hair is down but the front is clipped to the back.
I know how to do that but I see on other people it looks twisted. I don't know how to explain it but it's super cute.
Any one know how to do it?

i know the hairstyle your talking about. here's how (i think) it's done:

first, take 2 small chunks of hair from each side of the front of your head. then pull the 2 pieces together in the back and twist them once or twice. finally, clip that twisted hair up with a clap clip.

Q: what if you start to lose...lost hope, hope in urself, other ppl, just everything.
i can't take it any more, change is happening to me but i can't...WON'T face where its taking me.
i can't do anything about it, in two years im either going to be some terrorist or drunk or even better, dead.
there is nothing to live for, and i can't get myself to just kill myself.
im lost and cannot be saved.
o shit :(...

its good that you can't get yourself to kill yourself...because you really shouldn't!! i have heard it said in a magazine that teens who commit suicide spend the last few seconds of their life before the pills they took start to kick in, or whatever they do, wishing they hadn't done it. and, as you don't need to be told because im sure you know, once you die there is no going back. you have to learn to accept that change is a part of life, and you can't just quit. i really think you should try getting help from a psychologist.

Q: whenever i'm meeting someone i don't know, i have the hardest time keeping a conversation! i'm really outgoing and friendly, but most of the time i just don't know what to talk about and we end up standing there in this awkward silence. any tips / suggestions?? thanks!!

you can start by asking them about their families and schools, and if they say something that relates to you, then tell them how. Soon you will probably start laughing about stories that have happened to you and things will loosen up.

Q: is it true that you have to be really tall to be a model?

i asked this quesiton to some people and they said yes.. but some said you just have to be really tall if you wanna be a runway model..

what about normal models in magazines and stuff cause i'm 5'2" but i really wanna be a model and i don't know if i could be one since i'm so short=[

thanx! i'll rate high for nice, realistic answers =]

ok, to be a super model, i'm pretty sure that there is a certain height requirement..and it's pretty rediculous. but for other kinds of models, like for magazine ads, I don't think there is. Try looking online for agencies and then go to one that seems good and ask for an interview. good luck!

Q: sorry about spelling, but I am really considering getting my cartilage (spelling?) pierced around my birthday day (July 1st) and I know this is a stupid question but how bad does it really hurt, and I don't really remember getting my ears pierced because I was young. And also when you do get your cartilage pierced how long do you have to keep it in? Well, thanks and if theres any other information about getting your cartilage pierced please tell me

hey,
The farther you go up the ear, the more feeling you have, so yes-- it will hurt more then the part you already have pierced. But if you really want it, i'm sure it will be worth the pain. As for keeping it in, the professional who does it will tell you. It's USUALLY around 6-8 weeks. Make sure you don't take it out before then, because it can get infected really easily which would not be good. Also, clean it with the solution they give you(if they don't give you one, try rubbing alchohal)every day for the first few months that you have it.

Q: Okay, up til 9th grade I've had great grades. None have been below an 85. Now, Freshman year I've failed one, and had low 70's in two others. I honestly don't know what to do. I turn in all my homework, I listen in class, my parents have had meetings with the teachers. My biggest concern is Algebra 1, it ahh is so confusing to me. But my teacher also helps in the confusion, she doesn't know how to teach!

Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone their first year of highschool experienced a difference in grades, or had the same situation as me. Thanks.

Lots of people have that problem. The change from middle school to high school is a big one and the workload can really pile up. One solution I have for you is to try hiring a tutor. If it worked for me, it can work for you
