about

TaylorLaura's the name. But feel free to call me whatever you like. Don't really care. "Sticks and stones" shit. I've probably been through about everything you can imagine. I'm actually a really nice person and I love helping people out. If you want to talk to me on AIM just ask for my screenname. Ask (or tell) me anything. I love to hear critisism/comments/compliments along with questions. In case you don't think you know me that well heres some misc. facts- I'm thirteen. My birthday is February 28.(get me something nice.=])I'm an active member of gURL.com and Myspace.com. I currently live in Gilbert, AZ and I wouldn't trade this town for the world. Maybe the people...but not the town. I'm in eigth grade and I seriously despise school. I raised my eight year old brother and twelve year old sister for the past four years due to my Mom leaving and my Dad having to work all the time. I don't really mind it, but it sucks I don't have that great of a social life. My style could pretty much be described as "emo with a boho infulence with the occasional preppy accesory." I'm obsessed with clothes, and most of my friends like to take me shopping with them, becasue my outfits can never be described as "normal", "bland","boring", ect. I'd be happy to make you an outfit if you ask. I've only been in two semi-serious relationships, but in those two I've been through practically everything. I'll answer any questions truthfully and honestly. So, with that said,ask away!

okay i went to Goody's tonight and they are slipping up on their plus size clothes...I'm 15 years old and I am looking for some new clothes...sad thing is...i wear plus sizes and i am into fashion...like the ripped jeans and such...but lately no one is carrying anything that makes me happy...does anyone know of any stores besides Goody's that carry fashionable teen plus sized clothes that are also on the cheap side? Thanks a mil!

Torrid.
I LOVE that store.
They have the cutest clothes and theyre pretty inexpensive. Usually they have them in the mall, and its devoted entirely to plus-size girls.
Too bad i'm only 5' 0" or i'd shop there because they have WAY cuter clothes then freaking Abercrombie and some of those places.

i want to get my belly button pierced but should i get it on the top or bottom.. i know a lot of people have it on the top of the belly button but how about on the bottom.. will it still look good and do people have the bottom pierced?

I personally like the top better than the bottom. But given tho choice I'd get all four sides done, but then again I have a highhhh pain tolerance.

i've been trying to lose weight by eating better and running in place for a long time. (it's too cold to go outside and they streets are full of ice). it seems like i'm losing the weight in my butt and thighs, but it's just travling up and making my love handles and stomach chubbier. what can i do about this?

First of all I applaud you for trying to lose weight the healthy way.
Secondly, try adding crunches to your daily routine. If you do them right you should feel the burn in your lower abs (NOT your back) and they should hurt like a mother if you do enough of them. But they work miracles, believe me.

my boobs have been really itchy lately? like really itchy. whats going on? besides that there growing....

It's probably just dry skin. Try some moisturizing lotion.

-Sandra

Hun, it doesn't matter WHAT grade he's in. If he's a sweetie go for it! If people give you crap (I don't think they will though) then they're dumb and you should just ignore them.

I like this guy but the thing is, he doesn't like me. and whenever he gets jealous he likes me. and when i dropped this guy that he was jeaslous of he didn't like me anymore. so...the same situation is with this guy that likes me. should i go out with the guy who likes me to get him jealous??

thanks in advance!!!

Look at it this way: If you have a boyfriend, how are you going to go out with him? and if you cheat on your boyfriend youll have a rep as a slut. Thi sguy sounds like the kind of guy who wants only what he can't have. I say ditch him.

[view]

ok so there's this girl at my school who i REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKE ok and she's goin out with this other guy. so here's my question what are real good ways to win her over her bf. from a desprit person in love give good results.

Well,
Don't try to steal her away. That will give you a bad rep. But when they break up be there to comfort her and give her hugs and stuff. She'll like that and maybe you guys will go out because she'll see how much you care about her.

13/F

My best friend is a guy, (ryan). Latley he`s been waiting for me outside of my homeroom class and walking me to 1st period. Then we walk together to 2nd. I catch him looking at me alot and were always together in class. About a month ago he started hugging me goodbye, and latley the hugs are getting more romantic. He talks to me differently, calls me, and always wants to hang out. He has been complementing me on my outfit even when I`m wearing a t-shirt and boy`s bball shorts and his hoodie he loaned me. He says I look beautiful when I just wake up and my hairs a complete mess and I have no make up on. So, as you can see I really think he likes me more then a friend now, I`ve liked him before like this, but for some reason now, I`m enjoying all this attention and flirting he`s givin me, but I just can`t picture myself with him. What do I do ? I don't want to go out with him, we brake up, then lose our 5 years of being BFFs!

sorry for it being so long, i`ll appreciate any help.

Well, I wouldn't flirt with him if you don't like him like that. But I'd give him a chance. And I seriously doubt you'd lose your friendship over a breakup. It might be weird for a month or so, but it should go back to normal. FIVE YEARS after all. You can't just drop that.

I am 13 year old boy in the 7th grade and I met this incredible girl over the summer. I had asked her out, but she wasn't allowed to date, yet I got her phone number. I still wasn't sure if she liked me as I liked her. Because as school came around I felt closer to her.I asked her out again during school, yet she still couldn't date!!!!!!! We have our last period together and we sit next to each other. Neither of us are very social at that time. I don't know if she feels the way I feel because I can feel this in no crush... I am in love with her. I need advice on when to ask, her where to ask her, what to ask her to, and if she can go how should I dress and what should I bring.

*Sigh* first loves. Ask her to hang out with some of her friends and some of your friends around. That way you won't have awkward silences. And as you two get closer, start hanging out alone more and more often. Truth or Dare is an awesome way to break the ice, and a great way to get closer to her. =]

1. I am a Christian and I always fall asleep when I pray which means I never finish my prayer. I did it for like a month now? How can I prevent this.

Try praying when you're not exactally ready for bed. Maybe pray first then put your pajamas on, then go to bed. Or pray with the light on. If that doesn't help, just remember: you don't HAVE to pray with your eyes closed.

ok well I have been talking to myslef since I was about 6 or 7 and I seriously feel like I'm talking to someone else. I ask myself questions and then give myself an answer all out loud. When I think these I can't come to a solution, but when I talk to myself out loud I feel like another person is talking to me. I find myself looking in magazines and saying out loud and pointing as if I'm giving another person a visual "I'm her."(on that I also find myself choosing who I am in a movie show anything even books... what could that mean) And then I sit in my room and I act out diffent things talking to myself and then talking as if I'm another person and I can get so into it that I get angry or upset I can even cry example: (I have done this) i say "I love you so much" then "I don't know if this will last so let's not kid ourselves and continue with this" then my throat starts to close up and I get so into i say more and more and start feeling the emotions one would feel if this were actaully happening and then I just keep on talking to myself. Is this normal? If not what is it? I'm 13

It's pretty much normal. I do that a lot too. People like us make awesome actresses because we can call up emotions so quickly. If you are worried, talk to your 'rents in maybe going to see a counselor.

I'm 13/f and have a nagging problem. My friend and I have another friend thats really starting to bug us. She feels left out so eaisly, and she has to know EVERYTHING. Like, if I was talking to someone and she just walked up, she would have to know what we are talking about. Also, my friend and I feel like we can never hang out with ought her getting mad. What do I do?

Well, if your friend walks up when you're in a conversation just say, "Hey. I'll tell you later, k?" and most likely she'll forget about it. And if she gets mad because you hang out with other people sit her down and say "Look, you're my friend and you will ALWAYS be my friend. Just because I hang out without you sometimes doesn't mean that we're not friends anymore. But you're just kind of making me mad by accusing me of leaving you out all the time. I'm sorry you feel that way, and I don't mean to."

Im 13/f i have been ridding since i was 5 and i have never till yesturday i didnt get hurt or anything in fact i just got right back on but i never told my parents i just knew if i told them they would never let me ride agian cause they would be so afride for me and i think it is to late to tell them now cause if i told them now they would be even more mad i did not tell them as soon as it happend what should i do?

Well, I think that if you aren't hurt in anyway not telling them isn't a biggie. But if they ask you about it then say "Yeah, no big. I kind messed up, but I'm not hurt or anything."

I just wanted to get this off my chest and I wanted to know if it seems as though I'm going through alot for my age...I'm only 13. Here goes.
I did drugs (cocaine, and pills), I was constantly getting in fights, I've been to court 11 times, arrested 3 times, longest was for 7 months, I've been taken away from my family for a little while because I needed "help", I had a boyfriend for three years,then we got into a fight because he was moving, as soon as he left my house after the arguement he got into a fight with these people, got hit in the back of the head and died before I could say sorry about the fight, I never told my parents, they still don't know about it, after that I started to get into cutting, then I tried to kill myself by doing the following : drown myself, hang myself, stab myself in the stomach, from which I now have a scar on my stomach, had to stay in the hospital for that for a couple of months, then got taken away from the family again, then after I got out I tried to shoot myself but accidently left it on that safety thingy and couldn't get the nerve to do it again, I tried to get an ex whom was the boyfriend at rhe time to shoot me and he almost did 'til his mom walked in, I got taken away from the family again after that and was gone for about a year, he got arrested, and then I got heavier into cutting to the point where I would cut everyday even without a reason. That's when I got into the drugs then I got expelled, got sent to rader, my family now does not mention me to friend's, they tell me to my face that I'm an embarrassment, they all tell eachother they love eachother in front of me but have not once said it to me. Then I became bulimic, then anorexic, then after I stopped I found out my mom was over dosing and was bulimic and still is to this day. My brother might die at any moment because he now has heart problems and he's supposed to take medicine to help him but he doesn't take it, my parents are trying to get me sent away to korea or tennessee so I'll be out of their lives but none of my relatives in either places want me with them, I have no clue what's going on in my life anymore, my family insult me constantly, my dad and brother both hit me and I have serious health problems ( I get headaches at a minimum of 4 times a day, I pass out at least once every other week, and i throw up at least twice a week and I have no idea why) and my parents won't take me to the doctor to find out why, they've told me they hate me, and I do not understand myself whatsoever, and my parents told me pretty soon they plan on kicing me out with out a place to go and I'll just have to find out how to take care of myslef, and are trying to get me sent to a "institute" for help. And I was forced into sex because the person threathened me and I don't know if that is considered rape. Am I going through too much for my age?

Sorry it was so long...

No one should go through that at ANY age. I've been through most (if not all) of those things. But what I can say is: Cutting and not eating are NOT the right solutions NO MATTER WHAT, the are NEVER EVER right. You need to find a creative outlet of sorts. Like poetry. You don't have to be good with words, and they don't have to rhyme. Just let your feelings out. Here's a song I wrote for my mother:

Here I Am Without You

My words seem to have
Lost all their meaning to you
My helpless cries
Still go unanswered
And I can’t help but think
That you don’t care anymore
You’ve let me down one too many times
And I just can’t

Keep all your problems with me
I have my own, I might as well be dead
My visions is as blurry
As the thoughts in my head
And you said all that you needed
Was some time alone
You’ve taken too much
I think it’s time to come home

I sit here
And think about how much that I need you
You always were the one who was there
And now you’re gone
And I just can’t seem to keep my head straight
You raised me as the person
Who I am today
But now it seems you have more important worries
And I just can’t

Keep all your problems with me
I have my own, I might as well be dead
My visions is as blurry
As the thoughts in my head
And you said all that you needed
Was some time alone
You’ve taken too much
I think it’s time to come home


I want you here with us
But sometimes
To ask for that
It seems like way too much
I need you here with me…

So you see, not spectaular, but it still helps me a lot to get all of that out.

so i got my hair cut today and i wanted it to my shoulders, she cut it to the bottom of my ears instead and i hate it, i think it looks so bad. is there anything i can do to make it look better?
and please dont tell me to grow it out, thats common sense

First of all, I think most people hate their hair when they first get it cut, it'll just get to taking used to. Just play around with it until you find a style you like. If you like your hair, you look confident, and then everyone else will think "Wow. She looks great!". Until it grows out, just have fun with it.

does anyone know where you can go online to listen to music... (the whole songs not samples) without having to download anything...
easy 5's for help

Well, MySpace.com has a lot of great bands registered on that site. Major one's too. They have three or four full-length songs (usually their newest/biggest hits).
