whats taylor momsens facebook? (link)
She wont add anyone she doesnt know personally to her personal facebook so theres no point in getting it nor will i give it to you because thats her bussiness. would you want random people looking up ur facebook? i doubt it.


I am terrifyed of getting my preteen shots. do'nt you have to get like 8 or something?! i'm freaked and mom says she won't come in because if they look "down there" she will be freaked. i;m scared i bet my heart rate will be like too high. i have major needle phobia-help (link)
No, you don't have to get 8 shots. Definately less, but I can't say for sure the exact number. Just make sure that you turn your head and don't look at the needle before or while she puts it in because it will just further increase your fear. you should also remember that shots do not hurt as much as you think they do. the last time you probably had a shot was when you were much younger and your pain tolerance was much less than it is now. i'm sure that after you have these shots, your fear will lessen or even subside because i was deathly afraid of shots until i had one when i was 12 and it barely hurt at all. when it's going in, you'll feel a pinch if that and then it will be all over. try to think of something peaceful during it or like the person before me said, bring soothing music. also, you could ask your mom to come in with you and just to leave while the doctor looks at your privates. trust me, it will not be nearly as bad as your imagining. just take deep breaths and try to relax during and before. also, doctors know that people get nervous before going to the doctors and getting shots, so they take that into consideration when judging your blood pressure and heart rate. you'll be fine, don't worry even though i know that's really hard.

hope this helped at least slightly (:
good luck, you'll be completely fine!


ok. im 16/f

i got on my myspace yesterday and someone had left a horrible racist comment in my truth box.

it read: ''Well...to be perfectly honest I dislike you very much. And I don't say this without reason. Your not a very good person and you fuck niggers because they are the only kind of people who will show anyone like you any attention. Seriously Jordyn just go to hell...''

sorry for the laguage but thats what it said word for word. this really upset me and i was wondering if anyone knew how to find out who sent this. its a truth box so its anonymous but i thought someone might know how to find out.
thank you so much

(link)
There is not much you can do, but apparently on the myspace truth box if you get a certain number of people to join truth box you can get a hint about who posted a comment. maybe you could try that? because i really don't see any other way of figuring it out, but to be perfectly honest you shouldn't worry about it because they're probably just jealous. people who do that are more often than not jealous, so if i were you i wouldnt streess over it :)


i know this is a common question.
i'm 5'7
and i bench over 130
so i, pretty strong
i weigh 220...
i dont understnad
yet i'm called little


when i eat, i compare what i eat to the person i'm with that day

**ill be up, please help now [:

you definately don't look your weight that's for sure. I'd say you look around 150-165? somewhere in that range and this is because you work out alot and have a lot of muscle. muscle weighs more and looks leaner than fat.
they're probably not lying when they call you thin because even though you aren't model thin, you're thin in the real world. the average size for woman is 8-10.
also, you should never purge for a day because it severely slows down your metabolism. you have a lot of muscle which means your metabolism works faster than that of someone who has very little muscle.
basically, i wouldn't worry about your weight. you look beautiful the way you are and its not about your bmi, so don't listen to her becuase it doesn't take into consideration your percent body fat. its purely based on weight and height. you look completely fine and no where near fat, so don't stress and just be happy the way you are.

hope this helped (:


do you know I look like? uhhmmmmmmm NO =D Sweetie, I will give you the skinest part,BUT ,I play sports, meaning, I'm built, I have abs, I'm skinny, I have muscle. I cheer, play basketball, run track, and play volleyball. I have D boobs. Boobs weigh a lot, muscle weighs more then fat. Think about it before you can say that 150 is unhealthy. And normal sized women are suppose to be from 130-155. =D Do you know where I go to school? Let me think........... no, My school isn't filled with the 100 lbs girls, we're all good sized, HEALTHY, in sports, have muscle women. We have I wanna say, 5 girls that are 100lbs. I'm a size 4-5 in jeans, and one of the hottest looking girls in my school. Guys don't want a pin thin chick anymore, and I know I'm skinny. SO before you can sit there and tell me I'm unhealthy, make sure you know your facts before you start opening your mouth. thanks for your time, and useless comeback. (link)
Clearly you're not the skinnist girl or you wouldn't feel that you need to prove that to me by sending this ridiculous thing to my inbox because there is no way that you have 20 lbs or more of muscle. Most of it, I'm sure, is fat and if you were one of the hottest girls in my school then you would have confidence and not feel the need to prove that to me. So clearly there is some insecurity there. Don't take it out on me, thanks :)


Hey, I'm 16 F as well as my friend. I think she has an eating disorder. Today, we went running, and after she was like "that Chiness really filled me up" Which may I add in, was around 12, and she said thats all she ate today. Shes lost a lot of weight, and she doesn't eat really anything at lunch. A PB&J, banana, and some kind of health bar. Ahd she said she eats for breakfast is a bagle(spelling)I don't know if she eats after school, she says she does. Now the funny thing is, shes losing all this weight, but isn't doing anything to burn calories. Like running or anything. Today was the first day she ran in a looooong time. And me and her other friends always "get on her" about what she;s eating. And yesterday she was talking about how much she weigh and I was like " you know its really not healthy to talk about your weight all the time" and shes like "I'm not I was just saying". Then today, she was said "I feel fat" about 5 times. And before we started running she said" I want to be really skinny" then I looked at her and she was like "not really skinny, but built" and I rolled my eyes. She use to weigh the same as me, 150ish, but she was "fat" and I have an athletic body, I play sports. Back around I say Jan-Febish, she was about 150. Shes now 129 or less. I'm scared, and I really dont know what to do. (link)
she's does not have an eating disorder because losing 20 lbs in 5 months is completely and totally healthy. Also, eatinga bagel for breakfast is fine as well as eating a sandwhich, fruit, and a bar. All of these things are just eating rationally. It's okay if she loses weight healthily, which it seems as though she is doing. None of these things point to an eating disorder. Is she hiding food? Does she had mood swings? Is she lying about what she eats? None of the things you listed point to an eating disorder they just show that she doesn't like ehr body and wants to lose weight, which is perfectly find because being 150 lbs is unhealthy and if she wants to become healthy then i applaud her. I lost 30 lbs in 6 months, so what she has lost is perfectly healthy. Don't worry, shes fine.

and I doubt you're one of the skinniest girls at your school considering there are girls out there who are 100 lbs and there is no way that you are skinnier than them and unless you're like 5'11 then 150 is unhealthy. face it!


which is better for your legs
nair or veet? (link)
Veet is much better because it doesn't burn, you don't feel it, and its only there for 3 mins. its really not that big of a deal and you don't have to worry about cuts, but they both do smell. I dont know about other people but for me it takes about 1-2 months for my hair to grow back when i use veet and it is proven to take longer to grow back than shaving. I've never used nair, but i've hear bad things about it, so i would stick with veet to be safe.

hope this helped :)


so my friend told me that you can tell a Coach purse is fake if any of the C's are like.. cut off anywhere in the design. is that true? bc it seems kinda impossible to be able to get full C's in every single place. thanks! (link)
No, that's not true. The C itself looks different on fake coach purses. If you go into a coach store none all of the purses have C's that are cutoff. I don't know where your friend gets her information, but she is incorrect.


(16/f) i have a bad temper. im an extremely angry person. theres no warning for when im about to get angry. even i dont know when its going to happen. i dont even know why i get mad sometimes. some days i wake up mad and sometimes i just randomly get pissed. but when im mad im violent. ive thrown desks at teachers in school before. when i fight i dont know how to stop. i have to be pulled off of that person. i fuck people up when im mad. i broke some kids jaw because they looked at me on a bad day and it rubbed me wrong. i get really violent thoughts over stupid things. if im angry at someone, even for something small, i get these crazy thoughts. examples: a kid was playing a guitar in class, i wanted to choke him with a guitar string; the class was taking a test and they were near me, i realized i could just stab my pencil into their neck if i wanted to; some kid something that pissed me off and he was sitting in front of me, my thoughts were "does he not know that i could easily snap his neck right now?"; we were walking down some stairs and this kid was cocky and i shoved him down the stairs for it. if im watching a movie or a show and i see a fight i want to fight so bad that i get mad. i browse through channels and the only things that i stop at are people arguing or fighting. i see or hear about a fight an i get mad and riled up. and i ask everyone this but no one has it happen to them; when im mad i get goosebumps everywhere on my body. they come in waves starting from my head to my feet over and over again. is it me or is this a problem? and no punching bags, counting to ten, holding my breath, etc. do not help me. ive tried believe me. showers dont help either nor does running or any form of exercise. and i cant do something like karate because ill fuck the kid up and kicking pisses me off. like i said i dont just get mad i get furious. i get mad to the point of tears. i dont hvae different levels of anger. im either happy or fucking violent. sorry this was so long. (link)
you need medication. Plain and simple. you need to see a psychiatrist so you can get help. These thoughts are not normal and you could end up hurting someone badly or even killing them if don't seek treatment. There is nothing else I can or anyone else can say, but GET HELP IMMEDIATELY as in TODAY. Talk to your parents and GET HELP!


i don't really want one because i have another awesome phone that i love, but i was just wondering if apple is planning on making new generations of the phone, just like they do with the ipods and such. any info? (link)
There will be a new iphone coming out this June which will have a faster speed and reaction time, but otherwise it will be the same.
The Iphone is also being released to Verizon sometime within the year, so keep a look out for that if you have verizon.

Other than that there is nothing else i know. Hope this helps though.


So I just started watching the Hills, I know the basics, but why was Lauren so mad at Heidi and in the flashback its like "I want to forgive you and to forget you" what happened between them? (link)
She was mad at Heidi because someone spread a rumor about her and Jason making a sex tape and it got all over the internet and practically everyone found out and she knew or thought she knew that Heidi and Spencer were the ones to spread the rumor. In that scene, Heidi was trying to make peace with Lauren about the whole thing, but wouldn't admit that she or Spencer had spread it.
Hope that helped :)
feel free to send to my inbox if that wasnt detailed enough


I asked my boyfriend on saturday if he wanted to go to the movies sunday. He doesn't have a lot of money, so i was going to pay, no problem, but when i asked, he told me he didn't want to go because he just "didn't feel like going." the only thing it would have cost him was time.

i've been trying a lot harder lately at being more open to him, and he's not returning the favor. it feels like my trying is just worthless.

for some reason unknown to me, i really like him, but i'm starting to have doubts about how he feels towards me. he hasn't told me that he loves me in days, and it's kind of worrisome. (sp?)

i really do love him, there's no doubt to it, but i'm not sure if this is going to work out. should i break up with him or give him one more chance or what?

thanks in advance. (:
(link)
I don't think its a big deal that he wasn't in the mood to go to a movie. Chances are its not you and you're reading too much into things. He's being honest and saying that he doesnt want to go rather than making things up, which is good. Maybe he just wanted some alone time or has some other things going on right now. There's nothing wrong with wanting alone time or just time with family or friends. That's okay, as long as hes honest and tells you rather than making up a story I wouldn't be too worried. As far as the saying he loves you goes, I wouldn't read into that either. Its days not weeks and not months, maybe right now he has things going on in his life that he just doesn't want to talk about, things that are holding him back. I would just discuss this with him and see what he has to say although I wouldnt mention the movie thing because that may make you sound clingy. Just say that you feel hes grown distant with you and ask if somethings bothering him or if he still feels for you. Just talk to him, have a heart-to-heart, because there is really no reason to break up with him for this without first talking to him, only then can you make that decision.

Hope this helped :)

17 f

I think my boyfriend might have AIDS ....I know it sounds bad but I can't be too sure. Ever since my last boyfriend I've just been so cautious about every new relationship . But about my boyfriend I've tried asking him and everytime I ask him he says he's 99.9 positive he doesn't have aids. Is there any way I could find wether he does or doesn't? I just want to be safe I don't want to catch any transmitted diseases from anyone but he refuses to get checked I don't know what to do I really love him but I don't want to do anything with him without knowing. (link)
I wouldn't do anything if he hasn't been checked, but other than that you cant make him get checked. I can understand why he wouldn't want to know because he can live life right now without worrying about catching colds which would turn into much more if he has AIDS. I bet you he doesn't, but you can never be 100% sure without a test. I would encourage him, but not pressure him to just dont have sex with him. Tell him that its his choice and you understand why he wouldn't want to know, but for ur sake you cant have sex with hm unless he is tested. Its fair and if he loves you enough he'll get tested and if not then i would consider moving on or giving him time to figure things out. Either way, I hope things work out. =)


Say you get a 500 in one section and you retake the test and next test you get lower..which score is taken? (link)
They take the better score of each section. So if you did better in reading on the first test, but then better in math on the second then those are the scores you get & im positive about that as my brother just took the SATs, so the person below me is wrong.


Okay, since I was 4 I've been chubby. I never exercised (My mum feared I'd get hurt) and I always ate junk food because my Dad doesn't know how to cook and my Mum was pretty lazy. I'm not HUGE, actually for my lifestyle choices all my life I think I've been pretty lucky. You seriously don't know how bad it was.

Anyway my question is: Do you think I'd be able to lose weight. I'm not expecting to drop the weight in weeks or even months. I'm looking at a long term thing. I've always been chubby so do you think it's possible? I'm 15/f by the way.

My plan is: Drink nothing but water, go for a 20-30 minute walk everyday (I live in a real hilly area so that's good) and eat really healthy foods and never eat junk food.

Do you think I'd be able to do it? I don't care how long it takes. (link)
if ur diet is that strict then no you wont be able to do it because everyone has cravings and its better to have some junk food every once in a while then to deprive yourself because eventually you will give in and pig out. You need to have a set number of calories, not a set amount of junkfood. You also need to walk for more than 20-30 mintues, you can run for that long, but you need to walk for atleast an hour as running burns more calories than walking. Its not about what you eat, but how much you eat. that's key.


I might get this bed set.

http://store.delias.com/browse.do?categoryKey=roomwares.room.heart&splashTrack=room

I'd like to hear your opinions on it. And if I got it what color should I paint my room? On the picture it has green but I'd rather paint it a diffrent color. Any ideas?

Thanks (link)
I would NOT get this bedset. As someone below me said it looks very young like someone who was 10 or 11 might like maybe even younger. It's not a bedset that someone whos 13 or older may want because of all the hearts and vibrant colors it makes it seem very juveille, however if you were to get it I would choose a light pastel purple. but i highly suggest not getting it for you might be made fun of it you got it.

hope this helped.


Well i made cupcake two days in advance o fthe day that they will all be eatened and I can't decide whether which way will keep it mroe fresh and keep the taste so it tastes and looks as good as it did on the first day i made them:

-put them in the fridge
-leave them on the counter (air temperature) in/not in bags.

This is my first time making..any type of cakes so I'm really not sure.

By the way, they have no icing, I'm going to ice them on the day at the last minute.

Thank you! (link)
Definately put them in the refrigerator. I made a cake and kept in the fridge and it tasted the same as it did the first day, a whole week later, so definately the fridge. I wouldnt freeze them as someone below said because ive tried that and it doesnt taste very good afterwards. so just put it in a container and put it in the fridge.

Hope this helps!


I'm a 15/f and I hate talking on the phone. I get really stressed out when I have to arrange a tutoring date with my tutor (who's an old man) I just CANNOT talk on the phone with ANYONE. I like it better on the computer where I can't see their face nor hear their voice. I get stressed out in social situations such as sleepovers, parties (especially PARTIES...I start to FREAK out) I just dislike them. I get extremely scared. I don't know WHY though. And whenever I have to talk to a teacher about my grade, I'd just rather not and I'd rather just fail a test or something. I CANNOT get over this. I always have a feeling that I'm being watched and that people are making fun of me.
What can I do?? D: GAH!! (link)
That is a mental disorder known as Social Anxiety Disorder. I have the same thing & I haven't gone to doctor or anything because i HATE talking to doctors and people that I dont know even though i should because its controlling my life and im sure its controlling urs as well. You should tell ur parents and have them set up an appointment. I'm kind of being hypocritical here, but do as I say not as I do. haha but really there are medications that can be taken to relieve the symptoms and cognitive behavioral therapy to help as well, so there are ways to make it managable if you see a doctor. and if you don't feel comfortable seeing a doctor like me then its best if you just fight past your fears and do things that are out of your comfort zone. that's what im working on right now like ive gone to homecoming which i would have never gone to before and it helps if you have friends who are there and pushing you to do things. Like my friends were like, "we're getting a limo and we're going" and they made me pay so i couldnt back out. All those types of things help as well.

Hope this helped a little bit.
14/f feel free to ask for IM if you need to talk some more about this as theres definately more i can say, but the answer might get too lengthy. lol


what exactly is considered child abuse? me and my parents just got in a fight (mostly me and my mom because shes crazy) and she came running after me so i ran out of the house and she said not to come back in....is this abuse? by the way i live in a place where its like 20 degrees right now and i was in a tee shirt :( i dont wanna get taken away but i hate when this happens (link)
No, that's not child abuse or atleast its not something that you would get taken away for. Child abuse is when the child is mentally or physically abused such as being hit or being called really bad names and making the child feel really bad about themselves. If your mom wants to lock you out of the house for a few hours, that's her own form of punishment and you should learn to respect her and not get in fights if you don't want to be punished. Child abuse is when the child does nothing wrong or does something little and gets punished to the extreme. You were not. I'm sure everyones parents or atleast a lot of peoples parents have done that before. Next time run up to your room and lock the door.

Hope this helped!


There are casting directors coming to my town from the Disney Channel show and from the people of Transformers. Me and my friend made an appointment and they just said we're going to read a short script on camera. But this girl at school said they just want your money (the lady didn't mention money on the phone). I'm not sure. I still want to go, but are they really going to do that? (link)
yes, they definately just want your money. My friend did something like that and she said they told basically everyone who had any experience at all to sign up for acting classes with them and get a portfolio which costs a lot of money. The audition itself does not cost money, but if you wish to do anything further then, yes it will and those auditions are just to get money. They have enough actors and actresses as it is and they honestly have no other reason for being interested in a random girl other than for her money. Sorry =(

Hope this helped.
