The Problem is Me!

Girl Talk: Cyber Overload

 

I am on the computer 24/7! I want to cutback, but I can’t help it. How can I resist cyber temptation?

-LoveToDance

Hey there girl,

You’re not the only one with this problem. Once upon a time, computers didn’t exist and we didn’t have the Internet. But now, thanks to advances in modern technology, some people can’t stand the thought of living without their laptops, iPods, PDAs, etc. So how did people live before there were computers?

Back in the day, way back when my parents were little kids, they played outside everyday! Great idea, right? Not only do you get to make new friends or hang out with new friends, you’re also being active and getting way more exercise than you would if you were sitting behind your computer.

Some of my fave non-computer activities: reading a magazine, catching up on a good book, trying out new recipes with my friends, shopping with my sister, working out, etc. The possibilities are endless, you just have to make the first step! So shut down your PC and slowly back away! Get out there and have some fun!

Lots of love,
L’Oreal

***Mod***
Hi i was just wondering how to talk and flirt with a guy without making it really really obvious u like him


smile and be friendly. if he's wearing a cool shirt, tell him you
like it. if he's rocking out to his iPod, ask him what he's listening
to. you could even ask him what time it is (just make sure you're not
wearing a watch!) as long as you appear friendly,he'll be more open to
talking to you and want to get to know you. ~L'Oreal

MOD:
I need help
I love my mom a lot and I love being at her house a lot. It's just whenever I'm here it's hard because her house is kind of far away from my friends so hanging out with them when I'm here is hard. It's also annoying because her house is really far away from my school and is going to be even more far away from the high school I'm going to. It's going to be a 30 to 40 minute drive just to get to school in the morning! What should I do?


hey hon, it's totally fine to feel the way you do. just because your friends are far away doesn't mean they'll forget about you. you all can still hang out on the weekends or e-mail, IM, text, call, etc. to stay in touch. remember, distance makes the heart grow fonder, so a little space could be a good thing! ~L'Oreal

Posted by: Dancer2232 on 4/28/2008 11:56:02 AM

 


Hey, Girl. I sure would advise against it. Not only can it be uncomfortable and awkward, but it can also be dangerous... even if you know the person. Remember, everything that is said or shared online can be used against you. You can't ever completely trust the person, either. You don't want others to think differently of you... especially people like hmm your PARENTS. It's a scary thought, but they can def find out.

MOD
this is kind of random but do you know who the first GL covergirl was?? my friend asked me and i was like OMG IDK! so i was wondering if you knew.
thanks! xoxo


Well the first Celeb on the cover was Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls and the Traveling Pants movies in the Aug/Sept issue of 2002. Before that, GL featured young models and regular girls on all of their covers. She was the first celeb on the cover!

Okay, well i'm still bored so I'm gonna ask another question lol. SOo
MOD:
I have a problem. My bff likes this guy, lets call him M and he asked her out. She was REALLY excited, but I talked to M and he said that he didn't really like her and he was just going out with her as a pity thing. She didn't know that though and was really really happy about going out with him. Then M broke up with my bff and she was upset but i had already told M not to hurt her so he must've broken up with her in a really nice way. So then she wanted me to talk to him about why they broke up, even though I already knew it was because he didn't really like her, it was also because he liked another girl. so she and i asked him Qs to figure out who this other girl was. But it turns out this girl is ME! So now not only do I have to keep the secret about M never really liking my bff, I have to be careful about what I say because she REALLY likes M. What should I do?


If I were you, I would play dumb. Don't ask him anything, but tell her you don't know anything either. She still must be pretty burned with the breakup and might not be ready for this bomb yet.

I have a ?... I've been exercising everyday for about 1-2 hours. Well, I've heard that you should exercise every day to stay healthy. But I've also heard you should rest every other day. Do you know which one is right? Thanks! ♥


I think that all depends on your body. I've heard that doing cardio three times a week, using light weights the other three days in a week, and leaving one day for your body to rest works. I guess it's all up to what your body can handle. Def don't overwork yourself, though.

ah man I love Alexis Bledel she did great in The Sisterhood of the Travelling pants, and I didn't watch Gilmore Girls regularly but my sis did and she loved her. Their coming out with the second sisterhood movie! I'm so excited!!!!

Laura-(Mod)
I have a cell phone, I don't over use it and I am responsible with it. I don't carry a bag so I keep it in my locker during school, but leave it on on vibrate. Today, my mom tried calling me to tell me that she was picking me up from school(at around 9th period), but I didn't pick up so she left a message. My phone takes a while to get messages, so even though I checked my phone when I got on the bus, I didn't get her voicemail until I got home. This happens often and now she's mad! Please help! I need a compromise!
Thanks!
By the way: You're a great Mod, I'm sorry you're leaving, can you come back?


Hey girlie! Thanks, I hope so! Do you get text messages on your phone? If you did, it might be a real easy way to check up on mom updates between periods. You won't have to wait to check voicemails and you can promise to check your text inbox between classes. Think about it!

I was just wondering...
If your BF crashed a girls night out, like Spencer did to Heidi on The Hills, what would you do?
1. Kick him out, girls only!
2. Ask him to come back later
3. Yell at him for ruining the night
4. Invite him to stay and hang with your girls
Thanks! Bye!


Def Numero Uno... Girls night is girls night! If he's a good guy, he'll understand!

MOD****
next year i start seventh grade, which is middle school in my town. I'm a little worried i won't have any friends!! I have a bunch of friends, but one of my best friends is going to a new school next year, my other best friend and i are really close, but we are in different groups. I know this shouldn't be a delema, but it is. See I'm not friends with her friends, and i don't think they really like me. Plus her group is the "soccer" group and i don't play or like soccer. My other "friends" aren't very nice to me and they talk about me behind my back, and i can tell that they don't really like me. It hurts and i don't know what to do. next year another elementary school will be joining us at the middle school, and i can make friends with them, but i don't want to start school without any friends, or start school with the friends i have because they are sometimes mean but mos of the time mean to me. What should i do?
thanks for your help<33 and i will be sorry to see Laura go Frown
~*Mary*~


Hey! I know it can be nerve-wracking to go to a new school with no one to really hang out with... but on the bright side, think of how exciting it can be! You'll meet so many new people, there will be tons of clubs and activities to join, and you already know some people. Why don't you just stick with your friend who's a soccer player. She seems like a true friend. Get to know her friends a little more (who cares if you don't like soccer--they're still girls right?).

ok so my dad wont let me bake something in the oven....and when i did he got so angry at me so i want to but how can i show him i can bake something without him getting mad


Why don't you arrange a father/daughter night and bake together. It'll give you a chance to show him you're responsible with the oven and even get on his good side.

MOD**
i have a huge guy problem. I have a crush on two guys and i dont know what to do.
The first guy is really nice to me and we've been friends for a while. Last year, he moved to another school in our district so now i only get to see him about 3 times a year (when our track and cross country teams go against each other). i just saw him on saturday and felt so happy to see him again. he goes to the school that my mom works at and my mom loves him, but i dont know if he likes me.
The next guy goes to my school and he likes me. hes sort of a bad boy but thats fine with me (the first guy is also sort of one too). he always smiles when he sees me and i do see him alot, unlike my other crush, and i like this guy too. ive never liked two guys at one time so its really hard cuz i have no idea what to do. please help!


Hey! I dunno... it seems to me like you like boy #1 more. I wouldn't settle for #2 just because it's more convenient. Hold out for whoever makes you the happiest.

I have alrady gotten my period (still in the first stages), and i take a shower everyday! but i can sometimes smell like my vaginal odor! ITS DISGUSTING! im pretty sure its just me but any way to prevent it!!!!! please help


Hey babes, everyone can smell themselves. Try wearing cotton underwear, things with synthetic viber trap moisture and make things stinky. If it really becomes bothersome, ask a doc what to do

THanks for caring and thanks for talking to me MOD but i had cramps(STILL DO) and had to lay down


Hey lovey, this guy sounds like a jerk. Whatever his intentions are they are completely twisted. Dont be jealous of his life, if it were perfect he wouldnt feel the need to pick on other people
