Alright lets start from the very start.. I used to have very short hair and glasses that made my eyes look bug eyed.. Well last year I got contacts (which I must say has changed my life) and My hair has grown out and is very long (blonde) and my eyes are deep green.. Well lets just say I have not had an easy time. Before I got contacts people would pick on me about my glasses and my hair. Well when I went into 8th grade My hair was long and ai had contacts so they didnt have a reason to pick on me but yet.. people still tryd. I did have bfs but i also had boy troubles.. no bf that actualy lasted long.. the longest was a month. Now I am going into highschool and I want to be noticed and i would like to not be picked on as much. I think it would also really be nice to find a guy that I could be with for atleast a while.. and I would like to get some guys attention.. Can you help me? please..
love maddie

If you wont listen to me listen to these people every single one of them has said the same stuff i have, it may seem like everything to have a boyfriend but its not bc eventually somthing will happen look at tony and I. And there right you know.. if you are confident with yourslef guys will like you more.. like if you think your fat and a guy wants you to sit on his lap and your like " no no im to fat" they dont like that.. highschool? well its a big place but like ive said youll meet new people just like i did there so many more new people and when you get into highschool people do become a little more matture and not all into picking on glasses or how long your hair is.. just be YOURSELF and trust me youll find the person youve been looking for.

Your good just the way you are. It doesnt madder what you look like. Its who you are inside. We all know it seems like guys only like girls if they are hot. but actually guys like who u r, they just hide it. A lot of guys are attracted to girl that are themselves and have confidence for who they are! Try to build your confidence. Im sure your perfect just the way you are. if you really want to experiment with your appearence then you could try many different things like makeup cute clothes and stuff but do NOT change yourself. Dont worry about the other people that made fun of you. screw them. Build up your confidence & be yourself. thats the most important. G00D LUCK BAB3!

you shouldn't need to CHANGE yourself for a guy. Seriously! It may seem like the world to have a boyfriend... but it's not. You're still young, you have plenty of time to find someone you love truly and sincerely. I know, I know... I sound like someones mother but I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was 15 and I'm not 19... My mother told me that and I waited. I'm 19 and STILL a virgin. You know why? Because I want to get married before I do anything sexual with a guy, except kissing. But... if you want guys to notice you, you need to be yourself around them but if you want, have more attitude but not too much... a guy migiht think you're leading him onto sex and trust me... you DON'T want that. High school is tough! All the time, you're going to see girls exposing themselves in bad ways, showing their body more and making themselves look easy so guys will think she's easy and want to "do her". You don't want to have that kind of reputation. Girls like that are known as "whores", "sluts", and sometimes "prostitutes". These are not good names and you WILL be called them if you act sexual by showing your body or wearing visible thongss that guys can see. A guy wants you when you're like that, especially in high school. It's not worth it. Don't EVER do it. I've seen girls like that. Girls like that end up raped and killed by some pervert and you DON'T want that. You don't need to change. You're beautiful no matter what but like I said, add attitude on top of brand new clothes and maybe new make-up, just for attraction. As for your "un-see-able" beauty, act nice and sweet. Be cute with them and funny too. Flirt a lot and DON'T go for someone elses boyfriend. LOL. Wrong choice! His girlfriend will hunt you down like a dog and TRY to hurt you, and she could. I've seen that happen. I hope you take this as a tip, not a warning or lecture. I'm telling what happens in high school... I've been there and if you need more tips (about friends or boyfriends), ask me a question in my advicenators inbox or email me at kitty_kats123@yahoo.com O.K?
Best of luck~
Hope I helped~

smiLinLiar7x answered Saturday July 2 2005, 12:25 am: Wow..sounds like the same thing I was like when I was in 7th grade going into 8th! I've been in the SAME situation. Alright so you want attention from guys? Be F-L-I-R-T-Y! and just keep tryin' to look good, EVEN though that's not the point of having a boyfriend..I mean just don't overdo it. And with people picking on you..tell 'em to leave you alone. I mean I know that's not the BIGGEST help, but you just got to ignore it because you know what, you don't have to care what people think about you. Only what you think of yourself is what really counts..just don't mind the other people and if it really gets you to, talk to someone or just make fun of them back! Hehe, that's what I did, if they wouldn't leave me alone, I just would make fun of them back, but in highschool you're right, its a fresh start and there's going to be SO many new people there its like they won't even have time to make fun of you. And people start getting more "maturer" and stop making fun of people for their amusement. So good luck, I hope I helped! If you need anything else, just drop one in my inbox! ♥Frankie!

NanakiBH answered Friday July 1 2005, 11:27 pm: I like your subject title because it's the truth about high school. High school is a completely fresh start. Most of the people there won't know you. Make friends with the people that don't know you. That way, when the kids you knew from your old school try to pick on you, they'll realize there isn't much of a reason to because other people love ya! That's probably the handiest tip I can give to you. Find people who have things in common with you. In high school, contrary to belief, there aren't many of those stereotypical "scenes".
As for boyfriends, kind of try the same thing. Try getting a guy that has something in common with you. If you're comfortable talking with him, then you'll have a better chance of keeping the relationship.
Razhie answered Friday July 1 2005, 11:23 pm: There are always going to be some people who don't like you and try to pick on you. It sounds like you've made some real strides in looking better and taking care of yourself but you still think like you're not good enough.
Confidence is the most attractive quality a person can have. Stop thinking you aren't good enough. When you get to highschool, don't worry so much about your apperance, just swallow your fear put on a smile and be the kind of person you'd want to be around.
