I like this one guy, well call him Joe. Well joe likes me back. But joe is good friends with my ex-boyfriend, who still really likes me and were still friends. My best friend told me not to go out with Joe because my ex would be sad. And she also said she would be sooo mad at me because my ex is so perfect for me(acording to her and no one else). I really wanna date joe but i fear my ex and my bff will me mad.

Okay, first off even if Joe is friends with your ex thats not fair of your ex to keep him from dating you because it's not right to make him suffer because your ex is. And this whole bestfriend thing, no, it should be up to YOU not her who you date, and it's up to YOU who is perfect for you, and if she's going to get mad at you just because you don't like the guy SHE WANTS you to. Then that's really stupid. She should be by your side with your descions. Because this is your life not hers.

I'm thinking of going natural. No makeup or lots of hairspray.

-Would that make my skin texture better? [My pores look huge around my nose, not on my nose.]

-Would it make my acne go away? [My old acne]
For some reason I'm not getting new acne, it's just these red bumps on my face that have been there..for weeks. Anything I can do to get them to go away? [No proactive, please.]

I also want healthier hair. It's damaged I'm sure. It was bleached. I use "Pantene Pro-V Restoratives." Does it really work? Any products or any tips for anything will be helpful.

I won't rate low because you didn't answer all my little questions in here.

I just want healthier looking skin and hair. :]
Thankssss.

Theres this really awesome Dove face wash which gets rid of acne fast and it makes your face super soft. Also for damaged hair, conditioning it, and using good shampoo helps a lot. You may want to consider cutting or triming your damaged hair, that helps it get better too.
GOOD LUCK!!

So I have these two friends that I'm really close with. We hang out all the time and such, but sometimes it feels like I'm so different from them. You see, they are both always the center of attention and ALL the guys like them. No lie! Like, I always feel secondary when I'm with them. For example, I was hanging with both of them the other day and we were with 3 other guys. Two of those guys likes one friend, and the other guy likes my other friend...but I always feel left out because no guys like me. It's like they're always hanging out with people when I'm there and I'm never really part of their "clique." For example, the guys invited both of my friends over and didn't invite me. It's like I'm invisible. I don't get it; people say I'm really pretty and nice and blah blah blah and it's not like these two friends of mine are devestatingly gorgeous but the thing is, I'm never the center of attention, I guess I'm just too laid back. I kinda wish I was more outgoing and confident like these two friends. So what I'm asking is, does anyone know how I can be more confident and noticed like my friends are? Any tips or websites on how to be more outgoing and noticed and to get guys to like you? Because obviously what I'm doing now isn't working. Thanks mucho.

It sounds like you've become like the third wheel. Like a tag along. Maybe you hsould branch out and start meeting new people because then when they go to parties you can have other plans rather then being left out. And in the guy case, you have to put yourself out there, the guys won't always come looking for you, sometimes you have to do the looking.

Hi I am 15/f

Like typical teen girl, I have a boy problem. Lets say this guy's name is Conrad. I think I like him, I mean I always thought he was cute ever since last year but never really talked to him because

1. he is super shy
2. we never had a same class

so I just let it go, because he is not extremely cute. In fact my friends think I'm kind of weird that I like him because he's just not that type of a guy that girls go after. Which by the way are guys that I am attracted to a lot. Those guys who aren't good looking at all, to all other people, but whatever, because I think they are cute but getting back to the point.

So the 9th grade passed by, and then 10th grade started and I now have 2 classes with him. But we don't sit near each other, because the seating arrangement is in ABC order, so we sit far away from each other. So I kind of let that go too, but one day, I just happened to sit next to him at computer lab and we just kind of talked for a while, and now I say hi to him in the hall way and I talked to him more. But he is just so shy and I dont know what to do. I mean I dont want to scare the guy away by straight out asking him if he likes me or asking him out or anything. Also I am not sure if this is an infatuation, which I happen to have a lot, in fact all of my previous relationship was infatuation that never lasted longer than 2 weeks. So I dont know about that either.

I mean "Conrad" is a great guy. He's smart, he's polite and all that, and i happen to find him cute.

But I can't really see myself holding hands with him, hugging him, and etc...whole bf/gf stuff...

What do I do?

Pleaseeeeeee help

Okay, well, a lot of shy guys just need a little push. I'm not saying jump on him and start like kissing him, but you know, maybe talk to him more, this may sound super lame, but if you ever need to borrow like a pencil or something then you could go ask him the more you talk the easier it'll be to talk to him, if you know where his locker is you could stop by to say hey. If this works out for you, you could always ask him to plow around with you and your friends sometime so he gets more comfortable, then you can spend time with him without it being an offical date. If it keeps building from there I definitely say go for it. Especially if you're really into him, this doesn't sound like just some crush you have, I think you're really into him.

Is it true that lemons/lemon juice works & helps pimples disappear ? If it is which is better using the straight up lemon juice or a lemon & rubbing it on your pimples. Also if its true how many times a day should you do it ? like twice a day once in the morning once at night ? Thanks in advance

Ouch! I would think that would sting pretty badly! I recommend popping them, as disgusting as that is it makes them go away pretty fast, without so much pain, acne face wash works well too, twice a day.

ugh this is so annoying. i dont have like, normal acne. it's usually just a litle bump or redness but no pimple that i can see. also, i have 3 non raised scabs because i try to get rid of them but basically all i end up doing is picking it because i get frustrated and then i get a little scab thing and its impossible to cover up. yeah i know that sounds gross lol but is there any way i can fix it ? thanks

I recommend not picking the scabs, this sounds gross but popping acne gets rid of them faster, and also the more you pick at a scab the more it will grow back, if you pick it off before it's healed anyway. So just be careful with it, it'll get better.

16/f

sorry if this is long but i really need help.

okay so theres this boy. i like him alot. we arent together .. we just like each other and just do stuff with each other. but like he always botheres me about talking to a boy and all and like i heard he wanted to get with some girl and even commented to her saying stuff related to that. and like im mad and i dont know what to do. stop talkign to him and answering his phone calls. or tell him about it. or like what should i say

If you're not together with him, I suppose he feels like he's not commited to you so he feels he has enough freedom to get with other girls, if you really want him all for yourself then talk to him about maybe being more commited, I can't guarantee that he'll go for it because I don't know him but if he really likes you he will.

ok so this is not really a problem but im just wondering. im 15 and i dont have any acne what so ever, but everyone in my family does, my siblings have horrible acne and one of them is even younger than me, and even my mom had it horribly when she was my age, so what im asking is am i gonna get it later and have it horrible or just never have it? i mean its not normal i guess for me not to have it since everyone in my family has it or was i just born with different skin?

I can't garentee you won't get acne but if you don't have it now maybe you'll be lucky and not get any at all. But to be careful you could always wash your face with acne soaps and things to help make sure acne doesnt show up. Good luck!

yo. i need help! me and halle broke up right? what do i say to get her to not be so mad!! thanx.

Well, you have to tell her that you really want to be friends with her and that you're sorry but you value her friendship too much to mess it up with dating, you know?

Why are guys so embarassed to admit their virgins in like, highschool?

Guys are so obsessed with bragging to their buddies about how they scored last night or whatever, if a guy ever admited to being a virgin, he'd get a lot of crap from the guys. So I think their solution is to just gloat whether they're lying or not.

Does anybody know where to get skinny jeans at? I mean, I've looked at a bunch of stores but can't really seem to find any, and the ones I see in the magazines cost like, $200 bucks which obviously isn't that cheap, haha. Help?

KOHLES!! they have so many, they have great prices too, that's where I got mine.

How do you get rid of a really bad sunburn in one day? Is it even possible?

Go to a local drugstore and get sunburn cream, and make sure you apply it twice a day and it really helps, I doubt it'll get rid of it in a day but it won't take long.

i am 13 years old and i will be starting school soon. i want too lose a little weigh like 5-15 pounds. i want to do this in two weeks. wat are good exersises too do this? i know i may not be able to reach this goal but i want to try. i am 5'1 or 2. i weight 115 if this helps. also its not like im really fat but i have a REALLY big stomach and huge thighs. i dont know why though concidering i dont weight THAT much. so i guess i also want to know how to get a flatter stomach and smaller thighs. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

A good idea is to go for walks, or jogs, everyday and do some sit-ups, and definitely watch what you eat, when I say this I don't mean become some crazed physco who counts every little calorie they eat, just if you're reaching for the chip bag, go for something else, like an apple. This may not give instant results, but it will show results.

O.k.
I went to camp last week. There was this amazingly cute guy there. And he was in my biblestudy group. At the last bublestudy group, we had to write nice things about each other on a poece of paper. He wrote on mine that he thought I was an AMAZING person and that I was a hottie. I was totally happy. I thought that he really liked me. He usted to star at me all the time in biblestudy but after that, he doesn't.
Does he really like me? Or does he just think i'm a pretty face?
-Confused

Maybe he's shy, a lot of guys sorta panic once the girl they have their eye on knows it. And if he's just being nervous you should approach him, and talk to him make him more comfortable with you, because otherwise he may just stay away, the other side of this is that he may have lost interest, in this case step up your game girl! And show him you're more then just some pretty face.

Okay. I a 17 year old girl and I have a boyfriend also 17 that I've been dating a couple of months now and we've touched the subject of sex lightly only because he knows im a virgin! He's not however! I feel im ready but since im a virgin and he's not I don't want to disappoint him with my lack of knowledge. I know to use a condom and every thing, I just don't feel I'll live up to it! I want him to be surprised, I don't know what to do!

Well, the only thing you can do is try to make it unique, add things that would make it special for both of you, it may not be absolutely fantastic but it's your first time, he's not expecting above and beyond just yet, just try to wow him in your own comfortable style, I'm sure he'll love it.

I had only been dating my bf for a couple of weeks. Normally he is pretty nice to me; but this one time he yelled at me and said I wasnt listening to him. He was really good for about a month after that. Well a couple of nights ago it was one of his friends birthdays. We all went out for drinks. His friends were all being really crude and disgusting so I left the table. My bf followed me and I told him I wanted to go home because his friends made me uncomfortable. Well he got mad; stuck his face inches from mine and slowly but loudly said in an angry voice "I"M SO SORRY". It kind of freaked me out. Do you think my bf has potential to be violent with me?

I wouldn't jump to such a drastic conclusion just yet, he may be a little rough around the edges, I've dated guys like them, it makes it a bit easier to talk to him, maybe tell him he scares you sometimes and you don't like when he yells at you. Try to get through to him and makes things work if he's still starting to scare you, I suggest moving on, because the chance of him becoming violent with you may increase.

16/f

well my cousin is 15 turning 16 in october! but she is a grade below me. im in 11th and she is going into 10th. well we are "best friends" but cousins. and like the whole summer i was over at her house everyday or like with her. but then this past week or so i have been hangin out with different people and she still calls me and is like what are you doin tonight and im like im gonna hangout with my friend tara. and shes is like oh well would you want to sleepover tonight? and im like well i dont think i can because i dont have my car. and i feel bad that i cant but i dont really wanna because im starting to get sick of her (not to sound mean) but she doesnt have many friends really. only one other one that she hangsout with. well then she is like well call me tomorrow! its like she only wants to hangout with me but i want to start getting away from her and hangout with my other friends! =) so i dont know what to do. like i want to try and keep my distance for awhile but then if im not doing anything and she calls what do i do..

like i would want to hangout with her if i wasnt busy but we dont do anything everytime we go over there! we just sit there and watch tv or i watch her talk to people on the computer. we can never think of anything to do! so she is like uhh what do you want to do and im like i have no idea anymore..what do you want to do? and i think as a 16 year old i should be out doing other things and having fun rather than just sitting there the whole day! and sometimes she makes plans but things never work out.

i dont know...any suggestions?

I'm sure you're having an awesome time being with her, but it's understandable that you have other friends, and maybe you should talk to her about it, and tell her that you have other friends too, and maybe invite her to go around with you and your friends, that way she may make some new friends too and it wouldn't be all about you 24/7 you know?

I am looking for a breed of dog (mixed is fine) that is especially good for children, and it would be great if it did not shed much. Thanks for any suggestions!

Beagles, they're great dogs, they have short hair, and are extremely affectionate, and don't grow too large so it would easy to have around children.

I have a coldsore/zit that appears every now and then at the edgge of my upper lip. I applied some acne treatment like usual, but instead of just applying it on the spot, I applied it all along my entire upper lip. Now my entire upper lip burns as if there's more than just more zit. But I don't see any except that one. Should I be worried?

With some acne medicines you can only apply to the zit because otherwise your skin has a reaction to the medication, it's happened to me, just try to apply it to just the acne next time, I'm sure it'll be fine.

My friend, Kyle, changed. He was always the type of person to not to drugs like weed and such. Him and his girlfriend (which is one of my best friends) have been going out for almost 2 years. He always got mad at her if she drank or smoked anything and that's why she never did it. Now, he started hanging out with our friend Luke. He's changed Kyle soo much. Kyle is smoking weed quite a few times and he's lieng to his girl friend. Their relationship is none of my buisness but I have to talk to her so she doesn't do anything stupid.

I care about both of them so much. They're like my family and she can't even talk to him anymore and she feels like he doesn't care.

What could I say to her.. what advice should I give her? Thank you so much.

You should definitely talk to Kyle and show him how this is having such a negative affect on him and his girlfriend, and you should try to get Kyle's girlfriend to talk to Kyle about this too, it's not fair she's being lied to, and maybe Kyle is changing and he's changing in a bad way, and you can be the one to help stop him.
