I really don't like my hair- it goes everywhere!!! I've asked my mom for a straightener but she says my hair is fine! I need a way to let her know that I don't feel good and confident because of my hair, and that she can't decide that I don't need one! Well, I know I don't NEED one but it would make feel better about myself if I had one. I need help on making her understand all of that.

Thanx,
Need Help

Explain to her about peer pressure and about how much you just want to look good to feel secure. If she really won't listen and buy you one, then maybe you should save your cash and buy one on your own.

ok this is how it all happened... my friend morgan.. has a friend and her name is kayla.. one day she signed on aim.. and went into a chatroom and saw kristen (which is me) likes alex krug... which is one of my best guy friends..and alex is morgans ex and she still really likes him and he doesnt like her and im going out with geremy for over a month and a half.. and i dont know how to tell morgan that kayla is lying about this.. i dont like alex me and him are only friends.. and shes getting mad at me for thinking tht i do like him.. and everytime i try to talk to her bout it.. she hangs up on me or starts cussing at me.. i dont know wat to do.. b/c morgan is like a sister to me.. and i dont want to lose her.. help me please wat should i try to do to convince her tht i dont really like alex?

Since she won't listen to you, maybe you could get Alex to tell her the truth... Or maybe write her a letter?

No, it wouldn't be tacky. It's smart and resourceful.

Ok i know im kidna old but I had a babysitter kind of coem ovr after school till my dad comes home. Shews was 21 and really cool, im 13. Last week she left and i was really sad i cried, i know this is wierd but do you guys think im over reacting. She came everyday for 2 years.

It's not weird and you didn't overreact. You two must have formed a friendship over the two years, everyone's sad when a friend leaves.

okay heres the story. my best friend cut really bad at the end of 7th grade(were in 8th now) and over that summer. the school, both friends and the administration, was aware but she never really got any kind of help. seh always carved peoples names who had hurt her or someone who was really important to her. okay this has to coem out to. shes bi so these people are girls. one was a best friend who stopped being friends with her another was a girlfriend and one is an x girlfriend. okay sorry that was kind of irrelevent. but anyway she got a lot better after this girl broke her heart. (i know you would think she would get worse) anyway she only cut maybe three times the whole school year. i stopped really worrying about it. but then in the past week she did it really bad. only me and this other girl who cuts too knows about it. before i always could see how unhappy my best friend was but this time i couldnt really understand. nothing really drastic happened and she seemed to be doing a lot better in recent months. okay heres my dilema. she siad not to tell anyone and if i did she would know it was me and not talk to me again or at least be extremely pissed. and i know shes not lying no matter how much i mean to her. now i want to get her help but i dont know how. i dont know if she can be helped with the additude she has now.
so: do i speak up and if so who should i tell?
what would be the best help to get her?
please give me any ideas. im open to anything. and dont waste youre time if youre going to be an ignorant a** like some people on this thing.

I think you should tell someone. Be a friend and risk your friendship, you can really help her afterall. Tell someone you know you can trust, like a teacher or your parents.

me and my friend, lets call her Sarah, got into a huge fight over a little misunderstanding. I tried over and over again to tell her that i was sorry...but what ever i said it came out soo twisted and messed up!! she is my only friend and now she hates me...how can i tell her im sorry without screwing up?!?!?!

If you can't say what you want her to know, write it in a letter and give it to her...

my dad recently died and i cried a lot when it happened but the day after i didnt really cry but i think about it a lot. I was wondering if if it is wrong not to be crying and should be.

Sorry for your lose. It's not wrong not to cry. People don't always show how they feel on the inside through the outside.

I'm graduating high school in 2 weeks. My friends and I are planning a summer trip together. We are debating on weather to go to the Bahamas or touring around Eurpoe. Which would y'all do?

I'd go to Europe because the culture is so totally different and it would be awesome to be mingle with strange French speaking old geezers. :)

what color eyeshadow brings out dark brown eyes on a girl with dark brown hair and tan skin?

Same as me. Lavender or purple is supposed to look good... But I use black or champagne white.

I dont know what to do! My scale says I'm 123,and my mom says its accurate,but I think I weigh a lot more! I'm 13, and i dont know what to do. And i wanna wear a bikini this summer. Any suggestions about exercising?

Try another scale to be sure. Go to toneteen.com and check out the work out stuff there to work on the parts of your body you feel insecure with. Later. :)

Well, my sister's friend on my bus has a crush on me. It's weird cuz our eyes always lock with each other. She is a freshman and I am a sophmore. What should I do? Whenever I talk to her I can't look at her straight in the eyes and I just don't know why. It's been this way since the beginning. In the beginning of the year I would look at her like all the time and I still do. I'm not sure how I'm feeling. What do I do?

Since she has a crush on you and you kind of like her, you should ask her out. You guys have chemistry so it'll probably work out.

I am going on a trip to another country and need to get some new clothes (in case I lose them in on the way). I need to find a place with cheap but cute clothes that I can take with me. I would like to look cute but be comfortable. Im not really a designer jeans gurl, but I wear what fits. What are some stores that I can get clothes from? Thanks do much!!

My Bride's maids and I bought their dresses today. I fell in love with these dresses right when I saw them. I showed them to my father today and he said that he did not like them at all. I felt horrible once he told me because I like them so much. Now, I don't know whether to keep them or to get ones that my dad also likes. What do y'all think?

It's your wedding, so you should get the ones you like... But since your father's opinion matters a lot to you, maybe you too should look again and find something you both agree on. :)

I'mm stuck in the middle of my two friends... they always get in fights and its extremely annoying...i m better friends with one then the other, but i dont wanna take sides... wat do i do to stop this?

thx.
annoyed & in the middle

That happened to me too. I told them that they need to both get straightened out because they kept tugging at me, so I left them both alone. They sorted things out on their own and became friends and we all got along... It's not very likely but maybe it'll work for you too.

Do you think it's possible to find your soulmate at 12? When I was 12 I got my first bf and we're still together. (I'm 14.) We've been through a lot together and I feel really close to him. But I don't know if that's just because he's the only person I've ever been with, or if my feelings are real. I can't imagine us not being together. He's my best friend. So... Do you thinkit's possible he's my soulmate or am I too young and am being fooled?

I think it's possible, but I think you need to experience a lot more of the world before you define soulmate.

Me and this boy are really serious. We have been talking for like3-4 months.But this other guy asked me to the dance and then we started to talk cuz i kinda said yea since the first boy doesnt go to my school.Then he asked me to come outside and we were walkin around all day.Then he fingered me like 4 times,. But i feel really guilty cuz i love the other boy.What do I do? IS this cheating? Do i tell the other dude.

Talking is different from actually going steady with someone, so no, it's not cheating, and I don't think you have to tell the other guy because he isn't your boyfriend anyway, right?
