Hey! I'm Caitlin and in a few days I'll be a freshman in high school. I love giving advice and I feel that I am good at it. I've been through a lot of stuff, divorce, moving, having my best friend move, a family member with cancer, and love (including being cheated on). So please don't hesitate to ask. I mean sitting there staring at the computer screen isn't going to do anything now is it?

i have really thick hair, and i can never put it down, its always in a ponytail or braids, and i never really have the time to straigten my hair , and im sporty anways, so i dont straighten my hair unless i go to a salon. and i dont wear make up either. any tips for different hairstyles for thick hair? or if you have thick hair too, any suggestions? thank you!

try getting your hair layered. they cut off your hair at different lengths at different places. its easier to manage and makes it a lot lighter. it also gives you hair a new great look.

Right. my computer keeps turning off and resetting for no reason. Sometimes I get a message that says "out of range" and once I got a black screen full of green blobs. Ive done a virus scan, but it came up as nothing, what the hell is going on? (link)
|
try running a spywear scan. its hard to explain but sometimes there is so much spy wear (bad) that your computer freaks out. otherwise if that doesn't show anything i would call your computer provider (apple or gateway etc). A good spywear scanner is webroot spy sweeper.

whats probobly the bst shampoo to make hair grow faster and smell pretty? (link)
|
I love Pantene Pro V... ITs the best. Also, if you nee dyour hair to grow fast there is soemthing called coral callcium (although I can't spell). They come in packets that look like a tea bag. you put it in a glass of water and drink three glasses a week. it doesn't alter the taste or the color and your hair and nails grow incredibly fast.

well my ipod freezes consintly.. while im going though songs. and maybe about 1ce a month it wont let my go though "menu"and so i have to press the arrows and it freezes! what is wrong with my ipod? (link)
|
i'm not sure... how long have you had it? the iPod comes with a one year warentee and when it was bought you might have purchased an additional year or two. i would take it into best buy or somewhere similar and ask them.

What is a good brand of makeup remover that is under $3?? and not NYC (link)
|
It depends on what kind of makeup. My aunt simply uses baby wipes. As long as its hyperallergenic and you dont get it too close to your eyes, it should be fine.
I hope I've helped. Feel free to leave one in my inbox

Does anyone know of anywhere that a 13 year old could work?? any help is appreciated..thanks (link)

Wellif you are looking for money all I can suggest is a paper route. If your just looking for something to do, you can do things for tsunami victims etc. What about walking dogs or something?

I'm a 15/f and I haven't been interested in dating until recently this year. I'm starting to want to have a boyfriend really badly. Do you think the fact that I am so inexperienced in the "physical" side of love (ive kissed three people but I've never made out or gone beyond that) that no guys will date me. This is the only thing holding me back from dating. Also any tips on easy ways to say no to getting physical soon or telling guys that I've never made out that wont make me seem like to much of a loser?? Thanks! (link)
|
You know what? IF a g uy wont go out with you because you have no expireence or they think your a loser because of it then they don't deserve you or your time. I had my first kiss with a guy that I found out I didn't like too much and I was grossed out... However a few weeks later i had a kiss with a guy i liked really truly and had known soo long and felt comfortable it means the world to me still now.

o0k well you see i like this guy, that well my friends dont approve of. they say he's such a kid and he's immature and stuff. my friends go for the older, hot, guys with nice cars, this guy that i like well, his name is osama. funny huh? its actually kinda creepy, lol but well a while back, we're freshman, in the begginning of the year, he and my friend joe were in a fight, it was about a month ago and osama punched joe and things have been really shaky between them. but now i see him around and we make eye contact and i think i like him, i think about him a lot. my friends think im crazy and its 'just a 'phase' ' and stuff so yeah i dont know how to tell joe. osama doesnt even know who i am, our school is realy big. he's not cute or anything and i've never really talked tohim, but there's just something mysterious about him that gets me. but yesterday i told my friend if she knows him and she said yeah and i told her to find out if he has a gf and i told her i think hes pretty cute, and well today she told me she told him, and now today he went around asking everyone if they know me. he only knows my name. so hes trying to find me out, and i dont know what to do. i mean my friend joe, its gonna be tough on him and so what do i do about the whole situation? should i just come up to him sometime next time i see him and talk to him or should i forget about him or what? please help!?! ill rate you, thanks.
.p.s.i ii rate good!~!~`!!!! =))))))) (link)

Forget about Joe and Osama. You should go up and talk to him, flirt with him or something! You're friends shouldn't control your life and I'm sure you know this. Just talk to him what's there to lose.
Good luck, I hope this helps you, leave one in my inbox,

i have to write a 2 page essay, and it has to be double spaced. i have Microsoft Works Word Processor, and i cant figure out how to make it double spaced! (and i cant just press enter after every line because it will get screwed up when i print it) so if anyone knows how to do it tell me, thanks! (link)
|
Control and two at the same time. You could also go to format paragraph spacing and go to 2.0!

This guy...I'll call him...Paul. He likes me. He hasn't told me he likes me but in his profile at the bottom if you highlight it it says he loves me. I always see him like staring at me in the halls and whenever I turn i see him there. He listens to the school anouncements to see if they say anything that has to do with me and when I get home he like overloads my computer with ims. I really can't stand the kid but I could never be mean to him. I'm a very nice and sensitive person and I wouldn't want to make "paul" feel bad or be mad at me. I don't really want him to have anything to do with me but he's like obsessed and I don't know what to do. I don't lead him on that I like him if that's what you're thinking. I'm just a nice person and don't like to be mean to anyone. If anyone could help me in any way as to what to do please send me a respose. Also, should I be worried if he's a stalker? Please Help. Thank you very much.

Talk to someone. Someone like a counsiler or your mom or dad or something. He is making you uncomfortable and he needs to stop. These people will help you find a way to make him stop, its nothing to be embarressed about its not your fault!

Please, I really need some help. (link)

You could say something like:

alot of girls in the girls locker room, they were talking about seeing the gyno or wutever and they said all this stuff that i never heard of before and so wut really happens at a gyno app.? (link)
|
Talk to your mom! A Gynocologist is a 'women doctor'. They check for breast cancer, etc. Talk to your doctor or a female that you trust or go to a CREDIBLE website.

Hi well i love playing the piano but i hate goin to lessons. I just HATE lessons. Does any1 kno how to make myself want to go to lessons? (link)
|
Just think of playing as you're motivation this way: if you have lessons your not cleaning your room or doing your homework, you're doing what you love and thats playing the piano.

How do u get rid of stage fright? please help! I rate high! I have a play comming up soon and Im fine doing it with my class but im scared to do the play in front of the whole school and then in front of ever1's parents! PLEASE HELP (link)
|
The key is to stay in character. IF your not you and your your character how can you be nervous. Just think of it this way: most people fear talking in front of others more than death, so that makes you an extremely couragous person!

Hi, there is this guy i like and i think he mite like me cuz we danced a lot, about a month ago, and he sorta follows me around school and one time he and his friends were sorta all lookin at me and pushin him towards me almost. anyway, i wanna go and try and talk to him but im really shy and he is too. Is there a way i can start up a good convo wit him and keep it goin, cuz heh doesn't talk much..tnx (link)
|
Just say hi, forget that he's a guy and that you like him. Just start talking and stuff talk about something you like, sports or a recent test or something. ITs jsut like talking with one of your friends! Don't be so self-conscice (or however you spell it!)

I have a problem...as you may have read ealier I like this guy named Max and he looks at me sometimes. Most people tell me to say hi or strike up a conversation with him and I just don't have the guts too. If you are going to tell me "Oh don't worry what other people think" then don't even bother to answer this question. I need better advice than that. I really don't know what to do. I have been rejected 4 times in the past 3 years...so I'm not all that attractive then. Help!

I know people say dont worry about what people think but I nkow its human nature. If you are too nervous to talk tohim dont. I'm going ot be honest, if you go up to him when your really nervous you'd probably make a fool of yourself. People do stupid things when they're nervous. In reality you just gotta wait till your ready and do what your comfortable with!

theres this guy that i like nd hes soooo sweet! but he told me that he likes ma best friend nd that hurt rlly bad. i thawt he liked me but he mite now now. bfore his friends were comin up to meh n sayin that he likes me n stuff but i didnt like him then. also sumtimes i rlly like him n othr times i just think o him as a friend so i dunno whether i should go out wit him or not cuz if i do i rlly don wanna hurt his feelings cuz hes 1 o the sweetest guys i evr met. wat should i do? (link)
|
Girl! Just flirt with him! Its fun lol. YOu can get a feel for if he likes you or not and you ahve fun. (im kinda a flirt at times oppsys!) I mean for goodness sakes. One thing I have learned is unless they guy tells you himself don't trust someone if they say they like you. And I would suggest considering the effects if you were to ask him out or if you were to go out.

I haven't gone to her much but I think it will. What is there to lose? TV time vs good grades hmmm... lol! I have speech after school but it doesnt start right away so do it before a club after school or something. THere is nothing to lose only higher grades to gain!
