advice

i don't really get much pimples, but when i do, it's usually like, 2 or 3 at a time. and i HATE it! they're usually in between my eyebrows, on my nose, or close to my nose. i don't really want my mom to buy me cleanser and stuff, so i need advice on what i can do to prevent this from happening. yea, i know it's not ever gonna b flawless, but i don't want it how it looks like right now, either. so any advice on what i can do will be GREAT!

thank you.

The best thing that you can do is to wash your face every day. This cleans up your pores and oil/dirt buildup in your pores is what causes acne and pimples to appear. If they keep coming, or if that doesn't work, buy the Clearisil Vanishing Acne Treatment. I used it when I had pimples appearing. It only costs about 5 bucks and I'm sure your mom wouldn't mind buying that. It's not like you're buying Proactiv which costs like 30 bucks with all of the shipping and handling, you know?

I dont have a best friend, I never did, I am not in a clique, and I dont have many friends. Sounds fun, right? Yeah right. There is a major clique problem in my school-- I figure, If i cant fix it, find the clique I fit in. Idont fit in any clique. The popular kids rule the school. I'm friends with indivudual Pop ular kids but together, i'm a no one. Most kids in my school dont like me, dont ask me why but i really want more friends. I tried out for cheer. and kick. and didnt make it, I was dissapointed because I really wanted to be part of a team. And have those girls to sleepover with and have my 'group'. Help?

I rate high!

(13/f)

1] Please do not put 'i rate high' because in the page that you fill out your question and submit it, it says 'please do not put 'i rate fives' or 'i rate high'' I just wanted to let you know that because you can have your account deleted for that.

2] I don't think that you should be part of just one clique. You need to make friends with at least a few people in each clique. That will be easier. You can't just expect the 'cheerleader' group girls to just come and start hanging out with you all of a sudden. [[ Pardon my stereotyping ]] You need to be friends with the 'band' clique, the 'popular' clique, the 'nerd' clique, ect. That will make your life a whole lot easier, trust me.

one time me and this boy I liked were one on one
at my house on my trampoline.
He said " you used to like me didnt you?"
and Im like "yeah" [which was akward enough]
then he said " i used to like you "
2 seconds later , he says " just kidding"
whats the deal?

There could be 2 answers for this.

1] He might've liked you but was too shy to admit at the time when you guys were jumping at the trampoline. When he admitted that he said it, he probably was thinking in his head 'God I'm such an idiot!!!' and then quickly said 'just kidding'. Guys are always like that.

2] He's a jerk. He's an ass. What else is there to say?

I'm having a holiday and a valentine party. (2 different ones) I really want some cute games and ways to get my friends parents to let them sleep over (Co-Ed) I know like spin the bottle, but we're 13 so any ideas?

I know this isn't typically what you wanted for your answer, but maybe you shouldn't have guys sleep over. You can have them come DURING the party and just hang out and stuff but in my opinion, you're a little too young to have boys actually sleep over at your house. That might ease up your friends parents if the boys are just coming over to the party, and not sleeping over.

To make truth or dare more fun, play it during the party so that you can play with the guys [but dont get too obscene so that your parents don't become suspicious].

Ok so here's the thing I have a lot of acne. I tried everything proactive clearisil but it just won't work my mom doesn't want to buy me any expensive products. So I get teased in school. Any ideas?. Also I get teased because I have big lips. Any help?ideas?

I used to have a lot of acne but then I tried the clearisil thing and it cleaned them right up in a few weeks. If your acne is that bad, tell your mom to take you to the dermatologist, your insurance should cover it [if you have it].

Some tips:
- Wear oil free makeup
- Wash your face with soap twice a day [before school, before bed] The reason why washing your face is good for your skin is because 1] it cleans it up. 2] the oil buildup in your pores is what causes acne, but you need to keep your pores clean by washing your face which is how you can prevent acne.
- Don't touch your face
- Wash your hands


About your lips, don't worry about it. People tease because they are jealous. 'Embrace' your big lips. Put on lipgloss and they'll stand out and bring attention to your face [in a good way]

I like the blue one a lot. The hairstyle would also look cute.

what should i wear and how should i do my hair tomorrow for my boyfriend to at least take a second look, and maybe comment about how i look ? show i wear my hair up or down, curly, straight, wavy?long sleeved/short sleeved/tank top +sweatshirt/polo/v-cut? HELLP.

Okay, well, my hair can sometimes be wavy, so I straighten it. I love making loose curls in my hair. Just take random sections of your hair and curl it with a curling iron, wear some natural looking makeup [no bright colors], clear lipgloss, some body spray or perfume [nothing too heavy]. Wear whatever you feel like wearing, don't look trashy. It all actually depends on the weather. You don't want to wear a mini in 60 degree weather. Appear simple yet elegant.

ok i just turned 13 a week ago and i'm in 7th grade, and i havn't had a boyfriend yet...i'm pretty sure its because... i'm ugly, i mean i wear glasses i'm 5'0 or 5'1 and i'm fat... (135) waht do i do?? i cant talk to a friend or cousin or aunt, and my mom passed away. so i live with my dad. what should i do?? please please please help me. o and if u say maybe to change my hairstyle, tell me a site or link please p.s. i have brown hair and the length is the middle of my arm befor my elbow.

EXACTLY. That's the point, you JUST turned 13. In my opinion, you're still a little too young to get a boyfriend.

I know you've probably heard this a million times, but looks don't count. If looks matter to guys that much, then those are the ones who are the jerks.

You can start changing your looks without any hassle. You can curl the ends of your hair [it looks really cute, especially for your length of hair], put on some eyeliner and mascara. You're actually not that 'fat'. You're not fat at all. You're just slightly overweight. IF you really want to lose weight, then try eating healthier. Trust me, it WORKS. I know it may be hard during the school year because you probably eat at the cafeteria, and their food is fattening and filled with grease and oils. Bring your lunch from home. Bring like some fruits and veggies, a salad, diet soda, stuff like that. Don't bring like pizza every day, or eat it every day. I'm not saying that you can't eat at all, or that you can't eat sweets, just don't eat them all of the time.

When I was your age, I considered myself ugly too. I had a pot belly, pimples, and my clothes were never too 'cool' enough. I was really self conscious about my pimples, though. I tried this acne cream stuff [Clearasil Vanishing Acne Treatment] and it like, took all of my pimples away. I also started putting my hair up differently instead of wearing it down, and I got more flattering clothes. I took up Volleyball and I love it so much and I'm really dedicated to it.

For your makeup, like I said, just wear some eyeliner and mascara. Apply the eyeliner in a streak at your top lid. If you don't know how, look it up on Google. Don't put TOO much makeup on [[ Loads of eyeliner, lots of glitter, lots of mascara, lots of blush ]] You don't want to look like a clown. Remember, you want to keep a 'simple yet cute' appeal.

Start having more confidence in yourself. Just BELIEVE in yourself.

Good luck.

Ok I love desperate houswives and im addicted. I am recently in the mid east and i dont get abc or anything like that. But then i remembered that I could watch the whole episode online on abc.com but then when i went to go watch the season premere it said it was only available to viwers in the usa so now im hecka bummed! Does anyone know where I can download full lenghth episodes everyweek. And dont say limewirer cause my limewirer sucks and doesnt work. Well thanks in advance.

Youtube mostly has like 'clips' of the show that only last for like, 3 minutes so that's not really helpful. You can try this site:

http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/D/desperate_housewives/index.html

or try searching for desperate housewives fan sites on google, and sometimes fan sites offer downloads of episodes.

Eminem - My Name Is

EDIT -- OH SORRY. I completely misunderstood your question. I thought you meant the lyrics were 'hi my name is' and then you were saying 'and so and so' you know? Tinkerbell is right. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My best friend and I friendship is fading drastically. Its to the point where the only option is to spend some time a part and just give each other space. I wanted to know if any of you guys know any songs about fading friendships, friendships breaking up, or anything like that. I do NOT like rock or country. So I really want a song that's hip hop/r&b/classic. Thanks in advanced. All help is appreciated.

"Stickwitu" - PussyCat Dolls
"Lean On Me" - Bill Withers
"Anytime You Need a Friend" - Mariah Carey
"Best Friend" - Brandy
"Count on Me" - Babyface

Those are the ones that I could find about friends and like depending on each other and having eachother's backs and stuff. I couldn't really find songs that had to do with like, fading friendships and drifting away slowly and stuff.

Hi,

okay so my boyfriend is 3 years older than me and we've been going out for 4 months. He keeps pushing me into doing things. About 3 or 4 weeks ago he pushed me into having sex and i didnt want to because of pregency and stuff. He made me and all of a sudden i was having sex with him. i keep trying to talk to him telling him that im not ready to have sex and stuff but he wont listen. we used protection but im scared of becoming pregnant. I really need help to talk to him and having him listen to me. please. thanks.

Since he's 3 years older, he's obviously had more experience with sex than you have. I can't imagine how many girls he's slept with if he's forced you into doing it. No guy should force you. It is your own decision to lose your virginity. If any guy forces you to do that, then dump him and go find a guy that can appreciate you for you.

I really wanna look good in my clothes and wear designer stuff but it's expensive and I was wondering where I could get clothes that look like designer. but i don't wanna be called a loser for wearing knock-offs and stuff. please help me find some good shops.

Charlotte Russe has a lot of designer-like clothing. They were like, one of the first stores to have bermudas when they came out, and ballet flats. They have lots of sophisticated looking jewelry. Look in the Clearance/Sale section to find cheaper items if you're not willing to pay the original prices.

Hope I helped!

I keep making plans for dieting. I try and give up im 13 yrs old 5'2 and 117 pounds.I need some inspiration. Please help!

That should definitely get you motivated.

Go to calorie-count.com, and sign up for an account. Track what you eat. When you sign up, you'll have customizable options that fit you. Let's say that I am 5'5, and I'm 128 pounds and want to be 126, [I'm not, just using this as an example]. My calorie-count.com log says that I should eat about 1200 calories a day to achieve my goal. On calorie-count, you can see what 'nutrional grade' the item of food gets, and the pros and cons of the food item. It's really helpful and gets you aware of eating healthy.

For example, I used to eat Lunchables every day when I didn't have enough time to fix something for lunch. Lunchables has close to 500 calories, and 7 grams of saturated fat, when you're only supposed to have 180 calories and 2 grams of saturated fat. See the difference? On the other hand, I eat Lean Cuisine instead of those crappy Lunchables. The food is much more delicious, and has a lot of protein in it.

Just take the initiative and work towards your goal. Don't get discouraged. It will work out only if you stick to your routine and get motivated.

I'm fourteen years old, and I weigh 220 pounds. I don't look like I weigh that much because I'm 5'6, but I still look big. I really want to lose like 80 pounds before October, but I have no clue where to start. I'd like to start as soon as possible. It's weird, because I think I have a really pretty face but I'm big. I was watching this video from a wedding I was in and I look really fat compared to all the other girls in my family. Plus diabetes is common in my family and I want to be healthy. Please help. =(

You need motivation.

Go to myfooddiary.com/charles and read the story about Charles, who tipped in at 562 pounds on a scale. He kept an online food log and watched what he ate.

when are the best times to go running??
how can i work on my abs?
what fruits are good for you?
and going a day without eating n just drinking water, once of two weeks is that ok?
Thanx to any1 who helps.

1] The best time to go running is probably early morning, so you can get yourself ready for the day. Bring your Ipod/MP3/CD Player with you and download upbeat songs.
2] You can work on your abs by doing crunches, and situps. There's also this technique called 'bicycling', and you lay down in normal crunch/sit up position, then you put your legs up in the air at a 45 degree angle, and start pedaling your legs like you would on a bicycle.
3] Pineapples are good for you.

Going a day without eating isn't good for you. If you go without food for one or two weeks, your body isn't used to that, so you can end up gaining more in the end when you suddenly start eating again.

Go to calorie-count.com, and sign up for an account. Track what you eat. When you sign up, you'll have customizable options that fit you.
