well this is a question regarding one of your responses to another qustion you said that for gaining weight they put you on pills, do the pills really work?
well, the ones they put me on definitely worked. they make me hungrier, so i eat more, and gain weight. but the doctors may put you on different pills that may not work as well. but try going to your doctor. it's definitely worth a try!
I have had braces for about 8.5-9 months now and so far, I'm not liking it. When I look at myself in the mirror, I don't think of myself as beautiful anymore, because theres disgusting metal on my teeth. Having braces has lowered my self esteem twice as much as my self esteem was before I had them. I feel like a dork and sometimes I even regret getting them. I've tried telling my friends and family about this, but they've all had them and they say their little stories just to make me feel worse. Even some of the kids in school teased me about my braces before. Like one guy had a metal pen in his hand one day and he told me to put it in my mouth, because it would shock my mouth, because I have stupid braces. I hate my life with braces. I just want my old life back! Every single kid in my school everyday is getting their braces taken off. It's like a school epidemic. The more kids who don't have braces, the more upset I get. Is this normal or do I have issues?
This is perfectly normal. Even though you may not realize it EVERYONE wants their braces off just as desperately as you do. I know that it's hard, because people in my school are getting them off also, and I still have mine. But, unfortunately, the truth is...there is absolutely nothing you can do. You have to wait until the orthodontist feels that your teeth are straight enough to remove the braces. I know this sounds tough, but do you really want to go through life with crooked teeth? Honestly, I think more people would make fun of you if you had crooked teeth than they do with your braces. Whenever you are feeling really down about having braces, just think of how pretty your smile will be when you get them off. Trust me, the end product is going to be rewarding. Good luck!
how can i gain wait? im 15/f i have a fast matabolism and i cant seem to gain weight past 100. my mom said that if i dont gain weight than she is going to take me to the hospital for crazy people....no offence ok.....and i dont know what to do....i dont even know what foods fatten people up....can you help me? my mom is mean. lol. just because im skinny and shes not doesnt mean that she has to be mean to me.....so does anyone now any fattening foods
Well, you are in luck because I have the same problem as you. I am very skinny, but do not have an eating disorder. No matter what I did, I couldn't gain weight, so I was sent for a doctors appointment at the hospital. I was scared at first, but it wasn't that bad. They just asked me a lot of questions, gave me a physical, and eventually medicated me. I am taking medicine that helps me gain weight, and it's working a lot. The only bad part about my hospital visit was that they made me get blood work so they could diagnose me with a disease to help them medicate me. So you may have to go to a hospital--but not one for crazy people. Before you go to the hospital, see your doctor about your problem. There may be something he can do to help, or he could refer you to a good hospital and a really nice doctor. In the meantime, I wouldn't eat any fattening foods--you need to gain weight the healthy way. Just follow the food pyramid until you can get some help. Good luck with everything! I know that it will work out just fine.
I'm seeing a counselor on Friday. I'm not used to being open with other people, or strangers. What should I do to make it easier for me to talk about what is on my mind and my feelings. I don't want it to be a waste of time because I have half an hour. Thanks in advance.
Pretend that the therapist is someone that you tell absolutely everything to. This can make it easier to pour your heart out. I've never been to a therapist, but just answer all of his or her questions to the best of your ability. Don't leave any detail out or add any fake deatail, or he or she may not be able to diagnose or treat you properly. Don't try to make your life sound more exciting or less dull...just be you. Remember, in most cases, what you say to a therapist is 100% confidential. She can't tell anybody any word that you say to her. I am not completely sure of the confidentiality rules, so before you start to say anything, ask her about them if it makes you feel more comfortable about your visit. So, just remember, this person is someone you can absolutely trust. Good luck!
1m 15/f. my 8th grade dance is coming up and i need a place to gat pretty high heal shoes. but i dont know were i can find any. my grandparents are going to pay for it but i have to figure out were to get some.....so, im open to any suggestions!!!!!!!
I would look at all of the department stores. I know it may sound a little dorky, but Macy's and JC Penney's may surprise you. If you can find cheap shoes, then you will be able to splurge on a beautiful dress. :)
G'luck, love.
When you`re friend is mad @ you, is it best to say sorry // talk to them online, in person 0r does it matter? also is it best to give them time to cool down so they`re not as mad or what .. i will rate for answers. anything`s useful. thanks!
I would definitely apologize in person. This way, it feels more personal for the other person. It's really easy to type whatever you want on IM and blow it off later. But when you tell them in person, they can see your expression and hear the tone of your voice. They will know that it's for real, and will forgive you more easily. When you are apologizing, make sure it's coming from your heart. Use a clear, confident voice. Don't mumble or whine. This way, you will earn their respect, and will have a better relationship with this person.
Good luck!
14/f. My BEST guy friend is Taylor. We tell each other everything and he is the only guy that I can call up and have a real converstation with. A few days ago he told me that he likes my best friend, Rachael. Ever since then, I've been VERY protective of him. If he's talking to Rachael, for example, I'll pull him away just so that I can talk to him. Or if he's not talking to me for just a second I feel rejected. I know that I don't like him because thats not what I'm feeling. We're just friends but why do I feel like I "NEED" to talk to him all the time?
It's natural to feel protective of your best friend. But try to give him some space. He seems like a great guy, and will probably have many girlfriends in his life. This is something you're going to have to accept. You can tell that he still wants to be friends with you, and nothing will change between the two of you. He may have to leave you occasionally to be with her, but don't get offended. He doesn't mean it, and wouldn't want to hurt you. If you want, talk to him about your feelings and be sure that he still wants to be friends with you. I hope everything works out!
ok well there is this kid he is 15 and im 13 well hes good friends with my brother and my brother said that he told my brother that he thinks im cute and likes me well i used to like this kid a couple of years ago he asked me out and i being very stupid said maybe and never heard from him again so when he told my brother this about 2 weeks ago well i started to think...he has changed quite a bit since the last time i saw him hes kinda hott :) well he has a kinda not really but around this people a jocky additude but not around me well im to scared to talk to him and every time i see him he smiles at me is it a sign does he like me?? i dont know i need advice i have his sn but he doesnt know i do and i dont want to start a convorsation with him and asking my brother to help or any friends are out of the question so please help i will rate really high (5) for good answers thanks!!
Casually IM him one time. Be fun and flirty. Hint that you're interested, but don't necessarily come right out and say it. If he knows that you care enough to IM him, he just might want to take your relationship to the next level. Good luck!
1. i like this guy and i think he likes me to.
2.i like him A LOT.
3.i think he was going to ask me out on friday.
4. he always goes into my conversation with my friend and makes me laugh
5.everytime him and his friend pass by i see his friend point at me and the boy i like smiles
6.i wanted him to ask me out on friday but when he was about he got to shy and did not. ):
7.he is so HOTT!!!!!
What do i do!!!!! help soon!!!!!advice by friday today is monday!!!!!!I rate 5s!!!!!
If I were you, I would confidently go up to him and just ask him out! Say "Hey there. Listen, I was wondering...would you like to go (insert place here) with me on Friday as a date? I like you and think it would be fun to hang out." Once you make the first move, he'll open up more to you and hopefully ask you to be his girlfriend. And, just a tip: Don't get nervous! Well, you can...but try your best to hide it. Guys find confidence a major turn on in a girl. If you think you might need some practice, try saying it in front of a mirror or to a friend. But try not to make it sound rehearsed. When you ask him, act calm and natural--like asking out the boy you like is something you do every day. I hope everything goes well. Good luck!
14/f I have been with my boyfriend since January. Whenever we go out, I can never eat in front of him. For instance, when we go to six flags together, I usually don't get anything to eat, just something to drink. Same with movies, mall, what have you.
Well. In about a month, we have a Semi-Formal dance coming up at school. This dance includes a catered dinner before they open the dance floor.
I'm afraid to eat in front of my boyfriend. I'm perfectly fine in front of most friends and whatnot, but I'm not the skinniest girl in the world so I think thats probably why I'm shy about eating.
Its not that I think my boyfriend won't accept me or something, because I know he's not at all like that -- but I still won't eat when I'm with him.
What can I do to resolve this problem?
Well, you just have to get over your fear. I don't really understand why you won't eat in front of him, but you should. That way he will know that you are healthy and do not have an eating disorder. Most guys prefer when girls get a Big Mac over a salad. Eating is kind of a turn on for them. So don't worry about what he thinks, and enjoy yourself! Good luck.
any ideas on how to make an outfit not look so boring? i usualy wear jeans and a long sleaved shirt but all my long sleaves are so plain.
One word: Accessorize. Don't be shy about it, either. I used to get worried because things didn't match. But don't get yourself too worked up over that. Find necklaces, anklets, fun belts...even shoes! There are so many different styles of flip flops that I'm sure you'll find something. You don't have to buy expensive jewelry either. Claire's and Icing have some really cute, but also cheap, pieces of jewelry. Bargain hunt! So good luck, and have fun with it.
My room is very plain.
let me give yu an idea what it looks like
blue walls, wood floor a larg wodden cabinet for my tv and computor, a pretty good size book shelf. wooden drawers for my cloths and 2 plastic drawers. Also I have a boxing bag. I get really depressed in my room because it seeems so depressing to me
what can I do to my room to make it look nicer and happyer?
There is a lot of easy things you can do to make your room a better place! Here are some tips on how to do just that:
1. Find some cute, colorful picture frames and put pictures of things you feel passionate about--friends, family, pets...you name it.
2. You can get different colored lights at stores and use them to give your room a funky glow.
3. Have you ever seen those cute feather boas? Buy them and put them along the dresser, or other random places in your room. It adds a lot of color.
4. Buy a corkboard. Here, you can put movie stubs, concert tickets, awards you have won--even some of your favorite pictures. It's a great way to reflect on past memories.
5. Hang posters of your favorite celebrities on the walls. You can get small ones from magazines, or large ones from CD stores or places like Target and K-mart. It's really nice to wake up in the morning staring into Ashton Kutcher's eyes!
6. Get some fun, colorful pillows and put them on your bed. It really adds color and flair to the room.
7. Since your room has hardwood flooring, buy a colorful shag rug. Not only is it nice to look at, it's really nice to walk on in bare feet.
Sorry that my advice was so long! But these are just a few of the many things you can do to make your room more fun. Don't be scared to think up more things and add your own touch. You'll be spending every minute in your room in no time!
My boyfriend went away and I'm not that kind of person to just sit around and wait. I met someone I use to like and still like and he still likes me. I now go with the other boy and don't know what to do. I feel really bad but...I need advice and thoughts on what I should do.
thanks in advance
XOXO i rate 5s
Well, I would contact your boyfriend right away. Let him know that you're just not interested and found someone new. Then you can feel free to flirt shamelessly--and, okay, even date--this other guy. This is the only fair way to do it. Good luck with everything!
The girl with loads of confidence seem to have it all. All the gilrs want to be "her" and all the guys want to date her. The girl that gets good grades and a varsity ahlete. My question is how does she reach the level of complete control over her own life-the confidence-likeable personality.Where does it all come from? my goal is to become her but a better version "me" without being completely fake. it woul dmean the worl to me if I had advicenators to help me out. THANKS YOU!
Basically, never question anything you do. Don't think twice about what you're wearing or what you say. It also helps if you are able to laugh at yourself along the way. If you ever feel embarrassed, laughter is key. If others know that you're okay with the really stupid thing you just did, they'll be less likely to talk about it in a negative way. You're obviously going to make mistakes--everyone does--but handle them with grace. Good luck with everything!
I freeze up and have nothing to say during good conversations between other people. I really liek to talk a lot at home and with my friends. At school it seems liek i dnt say anything. And if i say something wrong ill get labeled fo rit. I want to Be Cool and likeable but also mysef at the same time. How can I become myself, say the right things,and be a good conversationalist?
Honestly? Just say what's on your mind, plain and simple. Say it in a casual manner. And if you're trying to strike up a conversation, work with the things around you. Ask people things like what the homework is, or if they are going to the basketball game later that night. Once you've broken the ice, it should be smooth sailing from there.
G'luck.
if a girl asks a guy to prom, does she pay for both tickets? does the boy traditionally pay, or does each person pay for their own?
That's really a decision you and the person you are going with should make together. Sure, it would be nice for the guy to pay...but there's no set rules. Do whatever is comfortable. Don't worry too much about who's paying and just enjoy the night!
Alright I asked the stylist to cut my hair like this: http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/3274/AshleeSimp_Pimen_5265256_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Simpson,%20Ashlee&seq=7
I even took in a picture and showed her.
What I ended up getting was almost 5inches cut off (its now above my shoulders) and these short looking bangs that barely reach my eyebrows.
What can I do with my hair? It won't all go up in a ponytail, and when it just hangs down it looks terrible. My face is not the right shape for this cut, but theres really nothing I can do to change that. Help!
I would go to a different stylist and ask her if there is any way she can cut it or style it to look good again. She can probably give you tips and hair products, and you'll have beautiful hair in no time.
my 8 month old black pekingese-poodle has this big red bubble thing on her eye, its like almost under her right eye lid. She ahs this before but not this bad, we pushed it back into her eye but now like a month later, it came back out and she won't let us pish it back in. Does anyone ahve an idea on waht this is?
Well, I don't know what it is, but I would take your dog to the vet right away. The vet can answer all of your questions and properly medicate the dog. Good luck with everything!
i have a crush.. A HUGE CRUSH!! but the only problem is i have a boyfriend....and the boy i have a crush on is sits behind me in one of my classes.. and my boyfriend doesnt even go to the same schooll!! but me and my bf have been on and off for over a year and three months.. and just two days ago he wanted a break, then he called back the next day and wanted me back!!! omg!! what should i do??? PLEASE HELP ME:(
Well, if you have feelings for someone else, the relationship between you and your boyfriend isn't going to go anywhere. I would officially break it off with him--for good. And then you're free to flirt with other guys! Being single has it's advantages.
:)
