ok so there's this girl in school and well she's a big dork and she doesn't shower daily. She's pretty much the biggest skank ever.
well lately she has been getting this scab on her top lip and on her bottum lip i mean they are huge! The bottum covers 75 % of her chin and the top covers like 25% well her lips are gross to. but these scabs are like red around the edges and yellow puss looking stuff on top. i can't figure out wat it is. and i want to help her get rid of it cuz she's helpless to it. wat should i say to her about it? and wat do you think it is? i don't think she is sexual active so im guessing its not herpes or anything like that. shes only in the 7th grade so i really don' think thats a factor in this. its really gross and she is being made fun of for it i feel sorry for her please answer allllllll the questions!

I have my suspicions as to what the sores around her mouth are, and I agree it's most likely not sexually transmitted. However, to preserve this girls dignity I am not going to tell you what I think it is, and I am not going to suggest that you approach her about it. The best thing for you to do is go to the school nurse and ask if she can speak to the girl about it. If you want to be really nice, stand up for her when the others are making fun of her.

I can't even imagine how it's possible for someone to be a dork and a skank at the same time. I don't mean to come off as just trying to bring you down, but you need to be more selective of your words. Don't pity the girl or anyone else in life how about being a friend to her?
NinjaNeer answered Saturday September 23 2006, 12:19 pm: EDIT -- Hey, hey... calm down! You DID ask for my advice, and, unfortunately, for most people that often involves their opinion. So you kind of did ask for my opinion. I've known people like this, and judged them just like you judge this girl. Now, I'm older and a little wiser and nicer, so I can say with the benefit of hindsight that you're being a little cruel in your description of this girl. I did give you an answer, so your rudeness was quite uncalled for. :)
First of all, there's nothing wrong with being a dork, and you shouldn't judge people by their outer appearances. Middle school is an awkward time for people, and it takes some time to get used to getting older, so she may just be overwhelmed by it.
Lecture over.
Pretty much, it sounds to me like a cold sore gone horribly, horribly wrong. Like, if she had a cold sore and picked at it, and it got bigger? That's all I can think of. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
