Okay, my mom thinks I have an unordinary obsession with death. Don't know why, but anyway..
I also -horrorhorrorshockshock- have been cutting myself for the past few months, nothing real serious. But now she feels like she needs to take me to Valley, this psychiatry hospital thing where the "suicidally disturbed" have to go for a while.
So, yeah. BUt I don't want to go. How can I convince my mo that I don't need to go?
And even if I do go, has anyone been to anything like this because I need to know what they're like so I'll know.
I'm scared and I really don't want to go. HELP!! (link)
k well firstly, you know that cutting is not good and can get worse and worse. two my friends (one was my best friend) started cutting. at first it was a couple cuts, and then one of them started to cut on her neck and stuff. they had to go to rehab because there parents found out. i hadn't seen them for a month or two because but you can still visit them (family). when they came back they looked SO much better. my friend said that it was like school but it started from 12:00-6:00. she told me that they would talk about there problems and try to solve them too. over all she really liked it and had fun, AND it made her ALOT, ALOT, ALOT, better. so really about trying to convince your parents on not sending you there, i would really want to go and try to stop this before it gets serous. i mean the one girl who started cutting like all over her body, she almost died. && you want to stop that before your in a situation like that.
hope everything works out.
and hope i helped.


Ever since i was born i was always the one in the family that didn't fit in. and it's coming close to a year since my mum and dad split..for the past year, i've stuck with my mum and helped her with everything...her divorce sorting out her finances..i've even skipped school to go see her solicitor with her. And whilst that was going on, my brother was doing drugs, smoking, and drinking.
And i guess i can't cope anymore...i try so hard to please my mum, get top grades and help her out, but all she can do is favour my brother over me..my brother practically rules the house, anythings he doesn't agree with has to change and everything he wants to do he does.
So..I'm on the verge on suicide because no-one in my family can give me the time of day and i spend all my day trying to please them.
P.s no matter what happens i am cutting my brother out of my life totally..i don't care about him at all, he's a mirror image of my dad and trust me that isn't a good thing.
Any ideas on what i can do to try and make me stop feeling like this. and don't bloody recommend counselling :| (link)
well if you dont want your brother apart of your life then just ignore him. and if your mom isn't appreciating anything that your doing, then let her do things on her own. if you want to get grades, then get good grades and if you don't, i still recemend you do because if you dont live in the best conditions or you cant stand them, getting good grades and having an education could help you in the long run and help you get away from everything. like a scholar ship to college or something. or a really good paying job when your older.
i hope everything works out.


hi im a girl and im in the 8th grade. at the end of the year theres this dance for everyone in our grade and we all get dressed up and the girls wear dresses. they arent too fancy or anything though. does anyone know where to get a cute dress for that? i would like it to be around knee length a little longer, basically anything just not as long as floor length. it would have to fit me too im a 14/16 girls or xs and a 00 at the biggest. and does anyone know some good makeup or hair ideas for something like this? my hair is about shoulder length and blonde.thanks soooo much! (link)
my school does the same exact thing, and im just like you- really small and blonde. for me it was really hard to find a dress for a party i had to go to. i mean i spent the WHOLE day looking and went to two malls. I eventually found a really nice dress (THAT FITTED ME) at macys or jcpennies for only like 20 dollars. deff. look at those two places. and try just straigtening you hair. for make up dont go over board. try looking on www.seventeen.com for hair and make up ideas.
hope i helped.


Hiya! well my highschool is having crazy day in March and I want to prepare for it. does anybody know where do get any afro-colored wigs and a red clown nose? thanks.

party city has alot of that kind of stuff and if you need any craft type of tings to do you could go to the rag shop and for the tutu ummm check maybe a costume store or a dance store, you'll find something.

i know you get a million of these stupid friendship questions, but who cares. this ones pretty importantt.
14/f
my friends & one who is my BEST FRIEND. tottalyy ditched me. i mean, they keep doing it. like, they all went to disney princesses, well of course i wouldnt wanna go to that, because im not some 4 year old. but, id still like to be asked..yano? anyways, like. it gets me so mad. & thats basically my group. i have like 4 other friends. but those people arnt really my best friends. & like, they dont even like the one girl, they just all lost there best friends, & so there using my best friend. they actually hate her. there so fake, they say stuff about her 24/7. & so shes ditching me now, to hang out with these fake people. & its like.. if i told her they dont really like her.. she wouldnt believe me. she'd turn it around & say that im just jealous, or something stupid likke that.

& idk. like this is kinda confusing i know, & its about to get a little more confusing, but if youve followed along this far, then..yay you! but anyways, they told me a week ago, that they arnt hanging out with me, because im too busy with all my public friends & all the boys. & i dont care about talking to them anymore. [i hang out with reallly popular kids at the public schools.]

& gr. its just retarded, what should i do?
should i try to tell my friend there fake?
or should i get evidence somehow that its true? (link)
so wait you probably go to private school. maybe ask your mom or dad to change to go to public school instead of private so that you'll kno more people and can be apart of the "popular" crowd. if thats not the case then write back to me and i'll tell you what you should do
hope i helped


Guys, I have this friend, that's a guy, and me and him have possibly talked about dating, but we never have. All of the girls that he dated in the past were nice, sweet, and perfect. I think the only reason he used to like me was because I was shy & nice around him, and he said I was "perfect." So, him: he's pretty bad. He's tried drugs, he's made out with a billion girls, he's drank alcohol not too long ago, he's tried smoking. My question: Do bad guys like good girls? I don't know how to act around him, should I be wild/funny/kind of bad... or should I be nice and sweet? (link)
be you


how come there are some people that have everything? like theres this girl that used to be in my class.. shes practically perfect. she was blessed with really good looks (she was like one of the first people to start wearing make up and unlike most people, she looks really good in it), amazing hair (always a different hairstyle everyday, too!), and... jesus.. you like never see her wear the same outfit twice! and every outfit looks sooo trendy and cute. she has soo many accessories and etc.. she also has a ton of friends, and an older sister. she's also an amazing soccer and basketball player, and even though she doesnt get the best grades (shes in low literacy, too) shes pretty nice to everyone, so its hard to hate her! but i swear, I bet everyone is jealous, lol. I used to think that she lives in an apartment, but it turns out she lives in one of the gigantic mansions in my area! and her parents are still together and have alot of money (obviously). everything seems so perfect! and she doesnt get upset alot, but once in 6th grade she was like really upset that like.. gum got on her $40 dollar bra from victorias secret. omg.. who buys a bra for 40 dollars I ask you!?!?!? how is this possible! she also gets alot of her stuff from hollister, which isnt even in our nearby mall.. so she must go to those other real expensive malls where she gets all her glam stuff. jeez... some people have all the luck! me and my friend were talking about her.. i knew her last year, and she was nice and has a good personality, (though sometimes she can seem too overconfident.. if you know what I mean) but you couldnt help to be jealous! now when i look at my life.. my family is not all that rich, but we're not poor either. my dad is starting a company which probably will be big if it works out (hes still setting it up) but like.. I dunno. then i'd have to leave all my friends here.. and that would suck because its not the same when you meet new people and you havent known them since kindergarten.. or like it may, but its better to grow up with people... if you get what i mean. anyway, i'll probably wear an outfit and then mix it up a little the next week.. but basically still wear the same thing. i only have 1 pair of jeans that actually looks good (from american eagle) and well.. yeah. i cant really follow trends because now my parents arent all that rich. heck i couldnt even have a 13th bday party and i have to pay for me and my friends to see a movie instead. (I'm 13 today and my "movie party" is next week). I'm pretty, but my mom wont let me get make up.. i dont even have enough money to get my own make up, nor do i know how to apply it. i'm kinda shy unless you get to know me, and well i do good in schools, and i like to play soccer, basketball, and dance, but I'm not like an amazing athlete like that girl im talking about was. like i didnt make the soccer team (im in 7th grade) and she made the team, and its the A team! most of the A team is 8th graders, and most of the B team is 7th graders. wow.. just wow. she even gets to play soccer otherwise in a different county than ours like 30-40 mins away.. and its travel soccer! i only get to do rec.. and i've only played in 3 seasons. i wish i started soccer earlier.. basketball too, but im better at basketball than soccer. ugh.. i just.. dont know. i guess like.. everyone has something special about them.. im not saying that i dont like myself.. I think I'm a great person and all, but like.. its just kinda unfair that this girl has like everything! i dont even have an ipod, cellphone, etc. I have like.. gameboy color, and a gamecube, opposed to nintendo DS and playstation 3. and.. like etc. i know this was ridicuosly long, but its been in my head. i dunno if i just like have no self confidence.. sometimes i dont, but usually i do... well it depends if im in a good mood or not. or maybe its because im wacko, which some of y'all may say. or maybe im just a green jealousy-person. ugh.. well.. yeah thats pretty much it.

also, what do you think it takes to be popular? i dunno what i am.. i dont know anybody that hates, me and i have friends and junk (no boyfriend, too). i dont deliberately try to be mean to people, if i am, im probably just joking around, unless i really mean it, but thats rare. i wont be like "your such a bitch, amanda!" since i'm like a positive person and think everyone has a good thing about them (I know.. kinda retarded way of thinking. like theres this loser guy in my class and even though hes made fun of me before (it was really retarded, and this guy i liked stuck up for me, though i dont care what the loser guy says (link)
um okay wow that was long. haha.
alright so im just ganna like say the question and the answer under it.

a) how come there so some people that have everything?
alright well some people are born with it. born into a rich family and have good looks ect. but theres probably always something wrong with some family. whether if its you don't get along with your parents or your siblings or w.e. and no one is perfect- just remember that.

b)what does it take to be popular?
i would say confidence. you have to have confidence when you talk and speak. and if you don't just act like you have confidence until it really comes. you want to be funny i guess because everybody likes to have a laugh. seriously just be who you are. start talking to people more and try to go join teams and sports to meet people.

just keep being nice to people because people are always ganna look back and remember you being a nice person. and who knows, it could come in handy. about the whole needing money, try babysitting or get a part time job. maybe some lawn work?

any more questions? ask me and i'll answer anything else.
hope i helped

This guy in my grade is in love with me. He keeps calling me baby and asked me out 3 times. I said no, i just wanted to be friends. But he keeps telling me how much he wants to kiss me and stuff. I kind of want to kiss him and hook up, but want to remaing friends. How can I hook up and not have him expecting a relationship? (link)
you could tell him that your not interested in going out but you could be friends with benefits.
or you could like try throwing a party or have a friend throw a party and maybe just in the heat of the moment hook up with him. i dont know. there plenty of ways. i think things will just fall into place.
hope i helped.


i get bad pit stains mostly in the summer but sometimes in gym class at school so i always have to put a sweatshirt or something on so no one sees because its gross but that just makes me hotter so it doesnt help other than the fact that people cant see them any more. does anyone know any good products or techniques that can help to prevent this or stop it totally. thanks so much! (link)
alright well you never really said if you were a guy or a girl. so i'll just write some for boys and girls but that doesn't mean you can use the other genders deodorant

girls:
dove
mitchum (omg this stuff saved me)
ban
degree

guys:
ban
axe
old spice

those are just a few. hope i helped


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!
(link)
try getting biosilk its makes your hair so soft and helps the damage. only put a dime-sized amount on and DO NOT put it on your root or it will make it look greasy. try putting it on before straightening because then the heat from your straightener burns the product not you hair.
i would say keep it or get a better striaghtener then the one you have because if your hair kept getting wavy, then your straightener isnt all that good. i have one- its really good called wet 2 straight.
try maybe putting your hair up in a pony tail (i know but you look athletic) or half up or crunch it, curl it ect. you can find some ideas on www.seventeen.com
hope i helped


is there anything i can do or get so my eyeliner stays on all day without reapplying it constantly? btw no liquid eyeliner.

hope i helped
