I have medium-ish length dark brown hair. i always envy other girls hair. i like the short choppy looks but i got that once, and my hair wouldnt stay straight the whole day..so it looked stupid. i also like girls w/ long flowy hair, but idk if it would look good on me. i have kind of a narrow face.. well..more narrow then round. but if yall could send me pics of hairstyles that might look good on me, it would be very appreciated. maybe hairstyles that emphasize my face more.

also, any good products for volume and reduction of split ends?

i take a shower, blow dry my hair, and straighten it. im afraid that once i put products in after i take a shower that theyre not effective by the time i straighten my hair
thanks a lot!

alright, for undamaging your hair, i'd suggest this stuff called super skinny serum by paul mitchel. you just apply it to your hair after you get out of the shower. and then it'll help protect it from the frizzy-ness of blowdring your hair. then you apply it to your hair right before you straighten your hair. and you only squirt it out of the bottle twice, and rub your hands together until their about to fall off! then start at the ends, and work your way up to the roots. but if you don't rub it together enough, or start at the roots instead of the ends, your hair is going to look greasy. which wouldn't be good. Also, this stuff called neutragena (spelled wrong) hair replenishing mask. and you just take a shower, wash your hair and all that jazz, then you put that in your hair while wet, then you wash it out after 3-5 minutes. and then you can dry your hair and stuff. and then you can straighten it and then your hair will be really smoothe and will try to go how you want it. It works, i love it.! hope i helped!


Sincerely, Samm =]

One of my friends has really bad body odor.
Its so bad, even our teachers complain about
it when they walk into the classroom. My friends
and I have tried to drop hints like 'Oh I just
got this great new deorderant you should try!'
'What kind do you use?' We've even bought
her perfume, which hasn't helped.
She's sensitive, so we're not sure how to
tell her she stinks. When we say something
smells bad, she just brushes it off by saying
"I don't smell anything"

.. What should we try?

I know your friend is really sensitive, but the only way to let her really know, is to just tell her. just say "(insert name here) we just wanted to let you know, that you're a great person, but you kind of have bad body oder. And we just wanted to let you know so that way you wouldn't get made fun of, you're our friend and we just don't want people to make fun of you."

hope i helped!

Why do many non-Christians celebrate Christmas? Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, so I just don't understand how anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus could celebrate his birth just for presents. And why do nonreligious people have to celebrate Christmas? Why not Hannukah or Kwanza?

Also, why do people who only celebrate Christmas and Easter consider themselves Christian? (people who don't pray or go to church, but still celebrate Christian holidays)

Alright, not trying to be mean hun.. but you're not the one to judge. People don't have to go to church, or pray everyday to be christian. You sound really into god, and well, if this is true.. you of all people should know that god knows who's a follower. People might not preech the bible, but their still following in god's footsteps. And They celebrate these holidays, because maybe it's a tradition in their family, to do that. Even if they don't believe in god.. they just want to follow the tradition of their familyyy.. but really hun, don't go and be all judging of people who celebrate christmas and stuff.. because it's just not cool.

So earlier, i posted something on here about a halloween party i went too and all about this boy and stuff.. and like now that it's afterwardsss.. today was our first day back at school, and he seemed uneasy around me. But then like one of his best friends (the girl who had the party) was asking me if i liked him and stuff.. and so did one of his other friends. And I can't tell like if he just wants to find out if i like him so he can avoid me.. or if he wants to know cause he likes me back. How can I tell? Somebody please respond cause I'm in some desperate need of advice!

hun, I'm in the same boat. If you get some good advice with this one, LET ME KNOW!

[view]


SO,I had a Halloween Party.
The person I like was there, I don't know him too well, but now I sure do. Whenever I used to see him & talk to him he would always be SUPER nice. Like, & i swear I knew he liked me, everyonee told me he even did. Anyways, at my party, I'd be talking to someone & he'd walk right in the middle of me & say.."move!" & then smile, even though i think he was kidding, it was kinda weird? I felt like he was trying to impress me, when he'd try to like pull my basketball hoop down, like he was strong or something. Then, I was like OH MY GOSH! don't you love my decorations?! & hes like yepp,, & then hed like rip one down & be like.."oh now what?! COME GET IT. SO i'd like start grabbing it & yanoo.. getting all like .. flirty? & such. Then when all of the girls were around his friend, he like started like pouting? It was weird. Then he would take pictures of me & be like, HA this is going on my myspace! & id be like talking, when hed take it & then he'd lay on my bed, & just look at me, because I was showing him my room. It was tottalyyy weird.

What was up with him?
Does he like me or hate me?

Well, to me it seems like he likes you.. but he just wants you to like him back. And his way of flirting might just be different than what you're used to. And if he was just like staring at you while he was in your room.. then I'd deff. say that he likes you. It's kind of hard to explain like how that would make him seem like he likes you.. but trust me it just does. But it seems like he likes you, but just like wants to take his game up a notch and go from nice kid, to flirting a whole lot nice kid. And he deffinantly does NOT hate you. =] well, i hope this helps!!


thanks!Samm

My freind died over the summer because of drugs. He was only seventeen. We went out summer after freshman year and most of sophomore yr (now I'm going to be a senior.) He was my first love. We didnt talk for a while because of the akwardness but near the end of junior yr we became close again. We hung out a week before he passed away. We both got out of a relationship at the same time and it was pretty much the same situation so we tried to help eachother through it. When we hung out though it felt like old times when we went out. We were compatible and he knew that. We even kissed and it was just as perfect as it was before... he was the one who brought that to my attention. He even asked me if I thought we would get back together. I was scared to answer yes so i said I dont know. I've always had feelings for him. He told me things he didn't tell a lot of people while we hung out. He told me about his problem and the fact he wanted help. I even confessed to his parents what I knew after the fact. I feel terrible now because I feel I could have saved him by telling his parents in the first place. How do you get over someone that meant so much and knowing you could have saved him?

signed,
Missing you always

Dear Missing you always,

I had the same thing happen to me last year. My friend was only 15 though. We wern't close like you were, but we were brother-sister close. We talked all the time, and I knew he was on drugs... and told him to stop, he always said " one day Samm, one day.. but not TODAY! " But then when he died from an overdose of it, I felt like it was my fault because I knew about it, and I knew that if I would've told his parents there's a chance he could be alive today. But you can't just put all of this pressure of this on yourself. I mean you just have to face the fact that he's gone, and even though you loved him.. you didn't make him use drugs, and it wasn't your fault that he died. Even though you knew about it, there's not a lot you could've done. Yes, tell his parents.. but there's no telling what could've happened from there. He could've gone to a rehab and then when he got out.. just went right back to it. But you couldn't of saved him hun, he's the only one who could save himself. I hope this helped.

What`s the best thing to use for pimples that actualy works? & that I don`t have to orde.

Well, what really works for me, is just dove soap. And then a face mask. Like you know how they have that kind that's actually greene that you could buy from the store? If you use that once a day for about a week, it'll help a lot! Because it makes them less noticable, and the dove soap cleans your skin out really well! Just use it everyday in the shower! I've been doing this for about 6 days.. and my face is praticially clear, and it wasn't really before! So I hope it works for you!

This is gonna sound disgusting but during the past week my feet have been smelling really badly. They never used to be like that, its just happened recently.
What can i do to stop them smelling?
If it helps, im 13/f
Thanks in advance, xxx

Ok this might sound weird, but if you put deoderant on your feet after your shower, it'll make them smell better. But make sure it's like a any kind of deoderant besides plain smelling kind. It'll help your feet. And I know it sounds weird, but it works for me.!!

hope I helped

what is the range of normal weight for a 14 year old, around 5'2''? dont give me am-i-fat.com or a doctors opinion i want your opinion of what looks good =] thanks i will give 5s!

Well, when you're 5'0 you're suppose to be 100 pounds. And then for every inch after that you're suppose to gain 5 pounds. So the average weight for you height is around 110-115 pounds. But I mean like if you do think you're fat then like you could do sit ups to look better. That's what I have to do since I'm 5'9 - in 8th grade - and play a lot of sports. So like I always feel like my legs are huge because of muscle. But I have to do sit ups a lot to keep in shape so you could do those and it'll make you look skinner, that is if you want to become thinner.

I'm only sixteen and I have massive, dark bags under my eyes. And even when I get enough sleep, they're still there. Is there anything natural (in exception to things like plastic surgery) I can do to make the circles go away or hide them?

Thank you very much.

Well, I get that sometimes too. And if you put spoons in the freezer overnight. And then in the mornings put them under your eyes it can get rid of them. Not totally.. but if you do it enough it can. I don't know like what skin type and stuff you have.. so it might not work for you but it can help!! Because it like wakes up your sences and stuff and makes you look more awake. And it'll be a little red at first.. but in like 5-10 minutes it won't be that bad anymore. And then you might want to stay away from eyeliner and not put on too much eye make-up or else it'll draw attention to your eyes. So you might just want to like gloss your lips (if you wear make-up at all which I'm guessing you might because like every girl does) but yeah I hope my advice to you helped =)

16/f. ok so since about january i have been watching my weight. (working out, eating right.) it really worked because i was 119 pounds. all of a sudden, starting about 2 weeks ago, i just started pigging out and it was like a couldnt control myself. i eat when im not hungry and i havent been exercising as much. i gained 8 pounds. its terrible. what can i do to stop this and get motivated to lose weight again?

Well, I was reading the other answer you got. And she's right.. my friend does something like that too. Except she printed off a picture of a fat person and taped it on there. I know it's kind of mean.. but she stopped eating the food when she went near it because she didn't want to end up like that. Also you could try working out and all the exercise stuff. And I have had to take neutrition pills before that help balance your diet.. and whenever I was on them I wasn't tempted at all to eat junk food. Don't take them though unless your doctor says it's ok though.

im am an 8th grade girl
and i am currently going with a 7th grade guy
we're both 13, (today is his birthday, btw)
and we just started dating again.
-when i say again i mean that we've gone out in november for about a month.
we both like passionatly like eachother
the only semi-problem is is that
i am 5"7
and hes like 5"0 about.
it usually dosnt botehr me, but its just like when i dream about that "first true love" i always think of some one that can hold me in his arms, you know? i really really like this guy tho.
he makes me feel like i've never been hurt before, like i just found out what love is,
and im sure to say, i am pretty experienced and stuff
i just wanna feel like this guy is
a man who stands by my side,
and not a boy who runs and hides,
just please give me some tips to feel better about this,
thanks a lot.
i rate particuarly well.

Hey hun, don't worry about it. I have the same problem. I'm in 8th grade and I'm 13 too. I'm 5'9 and all the guys that seem to like me at like 5'0 or 5'4 somewhere in there. But I mean I've found a great guy who's 6'0 in 7th grade. And we both really like each other. So it's not all about looks but I deffinantly know how you feel about it. Why do guys have to be so dang short right?? lol. Well, just give it a shot for a while longer, and then if it still bothers you talk to him about it. Maybe you two could just be "friends with VERY special benifits" or something. ?? I hope this helped.

ive had my period for a year now. is it normal that im getting it every 2 weeks? please help! im kind of scared < 3

Don't worry about it for now. You're still going to have an irregular flow. But I mean not everyone's ever will be. Mine goes for 2 days.. skips 3 days then goes for 2 weeks then stops for a month and a half. So I mean it's not regular but it's not super bad either.

i am only 14!! and i am having a baby!! and my ex broke up with me before he even found out! and he's still there for me and we're going back out now! but idk how to handle it!

Uhm not trying to be mean, but why the heck are you having sex at 14? It's stupid. The only way to handle it, is to have it. But if you do the baby, and yourself can have serious problems. It can kill you, and the probability of the baby even living long enough isn't a good chance. Your body isn't ready for it yet. I'm sorry if this is harsh, but think next time woman! You're only 14!
