do you have a really quick way of getting rid of stretch marks

hey! I don't know how fast it works, but cocoa butter is supposed to work. Check out this article too: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/04/06/How-can-I-hide-stretch-marks.aspx

My friend hates my boyfriend! They've had a few problems in the past, but she always tells me she's okay with him and then she insults him and yells at him to leave me alone when I'm talking to him. She seems to be always trying to split us up. I've tried talking to her about it, but she just got mad at me. She apologizes to me, but never to him. Help! Please?

I'm in a sticky sitch. My crush has been dating another girl for a month now. Problem: "another girl" is one of my friends (one grade above me, btw). She knows I like him and she doesn't mind. It doesn't REALLY bother me that they're dating ... what bugs me is that I know people who have thought that I was dating him ... probably because we talk at school so much more than he and his girlfriend do. I've even noticed she ignores him. It makes me really sad, especially because he's my best guy friend. Help!

Okay so when I was back in 8th grade, I went to the 8th grade dance (for graduation) with my best guy friend who I like. I went to his house all dressed up for the dance and our moms were going picture crazy and stuff like that. My friend's mom said "You should send a picture to your dad" so his mom took a picture of us on his phone. I asked him to send it to me because I really liked it so he sent it to me AND his dad at the same time. When his dad replied to it, he must've clicked "Reply all" because I got his response too and it was just a ;) face. Yes, a winky face. And I know he is close to his dad so does that mean my friend likes me? We talk all the time but I moved away but we still talk and he is probably coming up here for a week or 2 in summer. I still really really like him. If he did like me then, is there a possibility he still does?? And now when we do talk, recently he seems more into what I have to say. HELP

Hey girl! Those all sound like positive signs and it certainly sounds like you're a really important friend to him. Just keep chatting and being yourself. You can even try hinting around about how you feel and see how he responds. Good luck!

ok so im 8th grade and hes in 6th grade. A couple of friends told me that he told them that he was going to ask me out. Hes really a nice guy; cute, sweet, respectful, etc.. and i kinda like him but is it weird because of the age difference and also im not supposed to date till high school but if i wait woulnt it be even weider for a 9th grader to date a 7th grader?? i dont really know what to do!?!?!

Hey girl,

Two years might be a big deal, especially when you're young, but if you know him really well and think he's mature, there's no harm in giving him a chance. But if you're not allowed to date until high school, that's a bigger problem! You don't want to go against your parents' wishes, so stay friends with him for now and then talk to your parents about dating him when you're allowed next year. You might feel differently by then, so there's no need to worry about it now!

riplogan on 1/7/2013 7:37:18 PM

There was a new girl at my school, and she started being my friend's friend, which was good because I wanted to talk to her and be nice. We eventually got to being best friends, and then she turned out to not be a good friend, like one that will go and betray you one day and then act like nothing happened the next (yeah, true story). She's always acting super nice until someone makes her the tiniest bit mad, and then she's outraged. She's not a good friend and I don't want her to hurt me again, but I know how she'd feel if I just said, "I don't want to be friends anymore." I want to get out of this friendship and fast but I have no idea how. She thinks we're still best friends. Help!

1) I'm 12, almost 13, and I was wondering what kinds of make up do you think is appropriate for 12/13 year olds? I don't want to wear full blown make up (I think that would be TOO much) but what should I wear that's age appropriate? Maybe a little bit of mascara? If so, what kinds of make up brands and items do you recommend? I probably won't wear it every single day, so cheap/drug store brands would be fine

2) My mom agreed on letting me shave (hooray!) but I don't think I'm ready for a razor yet. And I DEFINITLY do NOT want to wax. Are there some other alternatives that won't be painful and are just as effective?

hey! here's how:

How do I delete my club?

Having a club is a big responsibility. If it’s not something you are able to maintain any longer, why not ask another officer or member to take over? As the club owner, you can change it to be someone else's club easily. So why not pass the torch and keep the fun happening for all your faithful members?

To transfer ownership of a club, click HERE.

Once you've entered the new club president's name, save your changes. Finished? Now all of the club owner's rights and responsibilities are transferred to her.

Really need to let it go? E-mail brittany@girlslife.com and explain your reasoning, and we’ll delete it for you.

Hello Mod, C:
Quick question...I want to take these vitamin pills but they are huge and I have a hard time swallowing them...My question is would it be bad if I crushed the pill into powder and swallowed it like that with water? Hmmm and while I'm at it..How come in almost every question there is "@import url(/admin/css/common.css);"?
Thanks in advance! I TRULY appreciate what all you Moderators do for us!

Hey girl! The weird thing at the top of questions is a thing the computer adds when mods answer questions. Read the back of the vitamin pack- some pills shouldn't be crushed, they need to be swallowed whole. Stick it in a spoonful of yogurt to make it go down easier! xoxo

Hey girlie,

Try working with her to solve one problem at a time. Tell her you're always there for her to vent, but ask her which problem is the worst right now. Then, chat with her and brainstorm ways to turn things around. Your support will mean the most here, even if you don't come up with 100% perfect ideas to fix her life. That's not your job - your job is to be a supportive, loving friend... and you sound like you are! <3

How can I get people to stop making fun of my braces? In school some people called them "my bling" and thought it was funny but it wasn't to me. And what kind of makeup and clothes would look good with them? Thanks! :]

Hey girl! Lauren isn't modding anymore, but I can help! Let people know you love your braces, so get fun colored rubber bands on them and smile. Eventually, they'll get tired of teasing. If they don't and the teasing is really bad, tell your mom or some other trusted adult who can help. Any makeup and clothes look good with braces, just think of them as another accessory, so be careful not to wear a necklace AND earrings AND braces, since that might be a little too much. Stick to just earrings or a necklace! xoxo

I'm shy around guys and tend to be a little mean and not myself how can I fix that?

Hey girlie,

Try to challenge yourself to say at least ONE nice thing to the guy you're talking to. You don't have to flirt every time, but there's no reason to be mean! So this will help you break the ice and remind you not to go so cold. It's probably the way you decide to deal with your shyness - even if you don't notice yourself making that choice, you're deciding to act a little mean so no one notices how uncomfy you feel. And teasing can even be a cute and fun way to flirt, but ya gotta make sure you don't cross that line into meanness. So start off simple: a compliment or a genuine question about the guy/his interests. Give it a try and constantly remind yourself to soften up a little so you don't regret how you're treating him. Before you say something, ask yourself - would I feel hurt/uncomfy if the guy said this to me? It's always a good rule to treat people how YOU would want to be treated! <3

I'm 13 and really really like this guy, he's not exactly hot, or cute, but he's super sweet and a great guy. It's just that he likes the girl of our group (p.s. we're all on a soccer team) who hates me and my friends. I'm also really shy when it comes to talking to him cause I never no what to say. Then yesterday I was sitting at the soccer fields getting ready to ref a soccer game, and he left his friends and came and sat with me, but when we're in a group it's like he doesn't even no I'm there!! How do I get him to notice me?? And make it do I can talk to him easier??? Please help!! Thank you!!

Hey girlie!

If you want him to notice you, you've got to try to get past your shyness. Show him what a great person you really are and start talking to him simply as friends. If this girl who he likes is mean towards you and your friends, he'll recognize it eventually...the truth always comes out! It might be hard talking to him at first, but it will get easier and easier as you keep doing it. If you see him in the halls, give a simple hello. As time passes you can start sparking up more in-depth conversations with him. Let him know the real you so you can show your stuff. Maybe get some kids together to go see a movie or go to the pool. That will give you some quality time to get to know each other and get your flirt on!

MOD!!! I want to shave, because I just got really cute shorts and a bikini for the summer!

But the problem is that I asked my mom and she said "Its not noticeable, because you're so tan! Don't worry about it" But i notice it constantly and i don't know what to do! and she also said that once you shave your hair keeps on growing and gets thicker and thicker? Is that true??? I guess waxing is better but doesn't that hurt???
Sorry that this was so long! Thanks! <3

Hey girlie,

Chat with mom again and tell her you totally understand that the hair isn't noticeable to her, but that it's bothering you. Tell her, again, you see where she's coming from but you would feel a lot better and more confident if you were allowed to shave. Show you're mature and let her know you understand that, once you start shaving, you have to keep shaving regularly - and you're ready for that. Waxing is better for some people, but honestly it's not worth it. It hurts, it's expensive, and you have to do it so often - it's way better to just shave quickly every few days! Good luck!

Hi! Okay so summers coming (Yay!) and after a very stressful year, I want to relax and take it easy. But what do I want to do in my time? Read. I love reading. I have pages of books that I want to read and I want to knock some of them off this summer. Only one problem: I dont know how to get them. I live out in the middle of nowhere (literally, I live in the country) so the library is far and if I order the books online I wont always be able to go out and pick them up (or return them on time). I have a Kindle, but money is kinda tight so I just cant go a buy 100 books. So is there any way to read book for free, or do I just have to take it easy with the library?
Any advice will be helpful and very much appreciated

Hey girl,

I think there are some things that are free on the kindle, but going to the library is probably your best bet. Have a fun summer!

skullhottie97 on 6/2/2012 8:32:42 PM

Hey. I need some advice like now. I went out with this guy (let's just all him James). We kinda've slipped away out of our relationship and we both knew it. The problem is now I'm in middle school with him and are really good friends like brother and sister kinda've friends. So a two months ago I started liking him. I'm afraid to ask him what his feelings are for me. But every time I'm around him I chicken out. When we're alone he is so open. He tells me almost everything and when he's around his friends he always pushes me ad shoves me and like in a way where he just completely ignores me and when he's not around his posse he seems just like my old friend and nothing has happened. What do I do?

Hey girl,

Before you tell him you like him, think about the way he treats you when his friends are around and whether you'd want to be treated that way in a relationship. Whether or not you decide to tell him, you should definitely say something about the way he treats you -- tell him you enjoy spending one-on-one time together, but that it hurts your feelings when he pushes you aside when his friends are around. If he apologizes and starts including you more, great! But if not, he might not be the best guy to date right now.

So i think my boyfriend might kiss me soon ! Like when we went to the movies a few nights ago like we were so close like our cheeks were touching and my head was on his shoulder and yeah but one thing : how do you kiss ? like i know it comes naturally but i dont want to be .. well like bad .. ?! if that makes any sense ! haha im kinda nervous b/c i want it to be good but idk how ! please help me with actually tips in real life b/c i think ive seen all your kissing articles on GL ! thanks soo much lauren ! please post soon !(:

Hey girl,

You're right, you gotta go for it and then adjust as the kiss happens - so it's hard to give step-by-step instructions because it's different for every couple! The best thing to do is slightly pucker your lips, remembering to keep the muscles relaxed at the same time. You don't want to squish your lips into thin hard lines when you pucker, right? You want them to stay soft. Then, aim to put your top lip between his lips and your bottom lip just below his bottom lip. You know how you give your family pecks on the cheeks (or maybe they give them to you), right? Think of a romantic kiss as a loonnngg peck on the lips. So once you have your lips in place, pucker your lips the rest of the way. When the kiss has run its course, you can either back away and give him a little smile (everyone wants to know his/her kiss was enjoyed!), or go for another one by pulling away slightly, repositioning your lips, and going for a long peck kiss again. Try not to over think it though - like you said, just let it happen naturally and you'll get the hang!

So, one of my guy friends is having a huge friend blowout (let's call him Zeke) So, this kid named Ron had always been Zeke's best friend. Like, if they were girls they'd be the BFF, do each others nails sorta girls. But, this kid named Carson just came into our class and he's really annoying and is ruining Zeke and Ron's friendship. Zeke is really levelheaded and stuff, but he was literally sobbing today because Carson was really being annoying. And to make things worse this chick was trying to help Zeke but was really making things worse (my curse-free friend almost called her a ***** it was that bad) So, Zeke and Ron's blowout reminded my friend of some bad things that were happening. Her two friends, Cat and Matisse, were doing things without her. Like she felt like if she told them this their friendship will be over. I feel really bad about what's happening! So now one of my BGFs is depressed, and one of my BFFs is sad. I'm staying strong, but I feel like sobbing. So my ultimate question is, how do I help Zeke and my friend feel better, and what is the best thing to do about this kind of drama? (And all the names were changed for safety reasons

)

Hey! What you need to help your friends understand is that, ultimately, this sort of problem won't matter at all in a few years, or even a few months. Advise them to just forgive eachother and move on, because friendships are way more fun when everyone gets along ;)

(edited by mod for length) so im just wondering 1. were those things i said to him THAT big of a deal? and 2. should i feel bad? and if so how do i fix it, because i AM happy i WANT to be happy but idk im just confused and stuck in between a rock and a hard place.. thanks sorry it was so long.. <3 ~MacK Attack

Hey girl,

To answer your question, you shouldn't feel bad because what you said was in the past. But at the same time, you've learned that what you say CAN hurt people - so try to learn a lesson here for next time. I wouldn't go back and try to apologize/fix things with your ex. It'll only remind him about it and cause more drama. So try to put that old relationship to rest once and for all, then figure out what you can learn from it. Try not to be super sarcastic because you don't know how your BF will respond to it. Try not to get a friend to meddle in a personal relationship - if you want something from your BF (like a romantic date or to swap gifts on Valentine's Day), tell HIM. Be more open, more honest, and more genuine next time. As long as you move on from this learning a lesson and becoming a better person, you don't have to feel guilty <3

Ok so sorry ahead of time if this turns out to be longish :/
Haha and yes I'm asking for boy advice

lol
Ok....so.....I'm going to try to squeeze it all together so it doesn't get too long....
So I really like my ex. Like a lot. He broke up with me last summer because we wouldn't see eachother that Often....
Well it's been basically a year since then and I see him around three times a week at my martial arts studio and I've formed an EXTREME crush on him in that tome frame ;) usually I wouldn't be thinking about it so much but...he REALLY acts like he's into me to...(he's single now..)
He's constantly talking to me and goofing around with me and is ALWAYS hugging me....I mean we joke around and he'll say like "I love uuuuu!!!" and stuff like that but it's hard to tell if he's just being overly friendly and flirty or really likes me.... (he even put a note in my shoe and drew a picture or an eye, a heart, and a U

)....sometimes it seems like he LOVES ms then sometimes he seems just like a friend....and when he really seems like he likes me, I really want to just face my fears and ask him out because it's always driving me crazy...thing is we go to different schools so I don't know what kind of "boy girl drama" is going on at his school with him and if he says no it would ruin all the moments we have when we see eachother....idk it would just be too awkward of he said no....I've been waiting forever for him to ask me out...sometimes I think he will but he never does...ugh :/
Sorry that was long

Well anyways thanks

))

Hey babe,

I totally understand how you're feeling! It's not like you broke up because you were mad at each other - life just got in the way, so all those feelings are still there. It sounds like you get to see him fairly often though, even though you go to other schools. And since you're a little older now, you might be able to work it out so you see each other even more. Why not ask him to hang out sometime after martial arts class? You don't have to phrase it like, "Wanna go out with me again?" Keep it casual - "Hey, we should grab some lunch after class if you're free." Or chat about a movie coming out soon that you're super excited about seeing, then say, "Omg, you have to see it! We should go!" That way, it sounds casual but you still get to test out how dating would work in this situation. If you're able to schedule a hangout and it feels right, then make them keep happening! Keep flirting and see how it goes

So, quick question, I changed my pic to a picture of Cat Valentine. It's a Gif file, so it SHOULD move but it doesn't. Plus, sometimes my old icon of a dog with earphones shows up. Why does this happen?

Hey girlie,

I'm not sure if we support GIFs as icons, but to fix the other problem... go to your Internet Options and clear your Cache. The cache saves info about websites so they load faster the next time you visit, but sometimes you can miss updates (like your new profile pic) when it shows old info. So if you clear it, it'll probably help!

You're not bugging us In my town, elementary school goes from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. And in 6th Grade, my crush did ask me out! But I didn't feel comfy going out with him one-on-one yet, so I suggested we meet somewhere in town (like a convenience store, a diner, etc.) with a couple of our friends to hang out. Our friends knew we wanted time to get to know each other, so they chatted and hung out while I got to hang out more with my crush. But I never felt awkward or uncomfortable because I had my besties right there with me! That's what I'd suggest if you're kinda unsure about saying yes <3

mod mod mod srry for this if you remember my last question then good cuz i need to say something ok here it is,
I need you opinion on this i don't think i should not date him at all cuz we are in elementary and idk if we are going to see each other next year should i just say no? thx 4 all your help

Hey babe,

If you think you should date him (or at least aren't opposed to it), why not get to know him better by hanging out casually? You don't have to get into a relationship right now, but it wouldn't hurt to get to know him and see where things go! Hang out after school at home, grab a snack at a local diner, do homework together, etc. Since you're a little unsure about the whole thing, I think growing closer as friends is a GREAT first step! That way, you can get a better idea of who he is before you decide to date or not <33

I know this may sound weird but how old are you and the others that mod with you I was just wondering and by the way thanks for all the amazing advice u give to us

Not weird at all.. you wanna know where your advice is coming from, after all! I'm 22 and the mods ages vary from 18-22 pretty much. You have to be 18+ to become a mod, so you can be sure we've ALL been there and experienced plenty of boy/high school/friend/family/body drama <3

Hey, you helped me with my troublesome body hair (thanks, btw) but i was wondering exactly what you meant by lightening it. Like bleach? because i thought that could burn your skin if there wasn't enough hair in the way? i don't know, i might just be imagining things. and i've got a waxing kit that i've used a lot, but i just can't wax ALL of my belly, because that's too much, and not all of it is bad, but when i just do the bad parts, everything else looks weird. and I'm not so sure about trimming, because i don't even understand how to do that. i think my lower back is the least hairy out of all of them, which is good because i honestly have no idea how i'd twist to fix that. but i was jw about those things?
-Thanks!

Hey girl,

Bleach can be harmful, but there are tons of safe products that you can use on body hair. Look for products targeted to sensitive skin if you're worried about getting burned! Don't worry so much about hair, especially places like your back -- everyone's got hair, and everyone else probably doesn't notice yours at all!

MODMODMOD!!! So, this boy that hasnt liked me forever suddenly has a crush on me!!!!! He asked me out via email. Only prob: I'M IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLI don't want to hurt his feelings, but I don't wanna go. What do I say? Thanks XP

Hey girlie,

Just be honest! Tell him it's really sweet of him to ask, but you think you'd be better as friends for now. Tell him you think he's great and apologize - then try to act friendly and normal from now on, so he doesn't feel awkward. You don't owe him anything so if you aren't comfy with the idea of dating him, it's ok to say no

Hey Lauren,
I have a quick question regarding this guy that I like. It's kind of a big deal because we are going to be going to the same high school next year, and his dad works alongside my dad. Whenever we hang out with our families and stuff, there is always another girl there. I love her, and she is super cool, but last week when she her family hung out with our family (without the guy I like and his family there) she told me that she knew I liked the guy. I told her that I didn't and then she laughed. I'm really worried that she told him, because honestly he's out of my league and I don't want him to make a joke out of it and tell his dad and then his dad might tell my dad! How do I know for sure that he knows, without letting the girl that I think told him know that I like him? This is very complicated I know!

Thanks a ton!

Hey girlie,

It's not so complicated The truth is, you CAN'T know for sure. The most important thing is that you don't freak out - if you act uncomfortable and make the situation awkward, it'll only make him feel awkward too. But if you stay calm, act confident, and stay normal/laid-back, he won't have any reason to joke about it. Just try to be friendly and remember that your families are all friendly, so you should be friendly too. If he knows, you can't make him UNknow - so there's not much you can do to change the situation, ya know? Like I said, don't let yourself freak out about whether he knows or not. Instead, just take a deep breath and act like you always did! It'll work out!

ok so im really skinny but my only prob is this curve at the top of my theighs! Is it muscle or fat? And how do i get rid of it for swim suit season?? Thanks!

Hey girlie,

It's tough to tell if it's muscle or fat if we can't actually see that curve, but not to worry! The best thing to do to get in shape for swimsuit season is a toning workout routine. That way, you burn fat and also develop long, lean muscle tone! Try alternating the following workouts every other day - and don't just do the leg workouts. Each one will get you moving, will burn calories, and will strengthen your bod all over. By the summer, you'll see and feel results! (Don't forget to pair all workouts with smart diet choices.)

Hi, good morning. I'm a vegan, and I have to be one for medical reasons. And I feel like nothing tastes good! All the "Cheeze" things, don''t taste like real cheese! And I, nothing is filling! Please help! I can't have gluten either, so I can't have Morning Star ffods! What is good?

Hey girlie,

We have loads of great vegan recipes for you to try! Check some of them out below. In addition, you should make veggies, fruits, whole grain pastas, breads, and nuts part of your diet. (Also looove oatmeal and guacamole, which are tasty and very filling.) You can use herb spreads or spices to make the food taste better and, if you come across a "fake food" (like Cheeze) that doesn't taste great, try finding an alternative that makes you happier. They're out there and I know lots of people who happily choose to be vegan! You just gotta find the balance that works for you.
