sorry im not that much of a bieber girl

mollypal3 on 3/17/2010 8:13:06 PM

MOD Ok this is kinda a silly question, but what impression would have of a girl if she showed up for the first day of school with pink highlights in her hair? ;)

I think that sounds fearless! Of course, if you're thinking of highlighting your hair, it only matters what YOU think... and of course, your parents.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MO (Pretty Please anwser!) I like this guy who's not in my classes. I only see him at recess, but I can't get the courage to go up to him but I'm in CITY KIDS where we do presentations! How can I convince myself to go up to him? Also he told me he loved me a while ago, and now he hasn't talked to me for a while. And he's popular and I'm not.

Hey girl,

If this guy told you he loves you, I doubt his feeling went away so quickly. Maybe he hasn't talked to you in awhile because he doesn't think you're interested. Why don't you start off by trying to become friends with him. Most good relationships originate from great friendships. Just approach him and ask if he wants to go the movies with a group of friends and you. Group outings are great ways to start friendships off. good luck<3

mod MOD mod MOD mod MOD MOD MOD MOD i recently had an innapropriate conversation with a guy friend of mine.. it wasn't like "horrible" but it's wasn't appropriate, i'm really scared because i've googled it a bunch and have been getting mixed messages, can a parent request a copy of all the texts sent and recieved on your phone? i have verizon and i'm currently on my dad's plan. i know i'm going to get a major talking to if they read this and i can't get a straight answer. i'm freaking out. ughhh

hey girl! i just answered this. but in case u check here first-- yes they can, but if you dont do anythign wrong and get in trouble they'll have no reason to go to verizon and request a transcript of your texts-- so be good and stop having bad convos!

penguins4emi on 3/16/2010 2:08:06 PM

mod MOD mod MOD mod MOD mod MOD okay so me and this guy have fought like 4 times now, like big fights, to the point we stop talking to each other for awhile. wellll it happened again and now we're finally talking again, everytime we start to be friends again, i start to like him again, and he somehow manages to ruin it by saying something rude that makes me mad. well today we were talking and he told me that he's always wanted to kiss me. and he also told me that something about me 'sets every guy off' (he said like my eyes, personality, and body language) and then we started talking and idk if he's worth liking again, or if he's just into the physical stuff with girls. but i told him how i don't just want a bf, i want a relationship and he agreed and said he wants the same thing and listed stuff specifically.. and yesterday he told me he kinda likes me and basically always has.. but he also likes 3 other girls.. and told me he made out with one and how they talk about wanting to make out in the hallways at school and stuff. so two main questions are:is he worth it and why do i keep coming back to liking him?

hey girl! most likely, until you find someone else to like you'll keep liking him, just cause you have no one else to think about and clearly he's a sweet-talking charmer. BUT i do not think he is worth it at all. Don't be overly senesitive about "rude" comments, but you should never allow a boy to make you feel angry or down on yourselves. The fact that he keeps upsetting you is BAD NEWS BEARS. Oh, and he has all those other girls! EW! You need a cutie to yourself! You can keep chatting with him but tell him right off the bat you arent interested in him and that u guys should stop flirting.

I am going to be entering eighth grade next year at a new school because of a major bullying problem from both the staff and students at my current school. I am really nervous about having friends there, but I don't trust anyone at my current school at all. Do you have any tips, I am going to shadow at this school next week.
~Thanks, Rachie <3

Hey girl, when you reach your new school try to get involved. It's always scary being at a new place. But you will make friends, there's no problem there! Maybe join a club or a sport. Try talking to people in your classes. You're getting a fresh start, that's a good thing! =]

Hey girl, this is 100% not okay and she should tell her parents immediately. No questions. It's nice for you to stand by and support her, but she should get adult help right now before it's too late.

pianogrrl, If you try working out by running, push-ups, going to a gym for gymnastics and just running around on the bars and beams are pretty good excercises. Or maybe join an after school sport because that's fun and you get so much excercise. and sorry I wish I knew the answer to the diary/journal thing. BTW, I love your username-I play piano too!

swiftcountry on 3/14/2010 9:24:50 PM

MOD MOD MOD i just broke up with this guy i think i regret doing it what do i do????

Hey girl, that's the worst I know! I would try talking to him again and hope he understands. Let him know how you feel. My boyfriend broke up with me once and realized it was the worst mistake he's ever made in his life. I did forgive him because I knew how many feelings I had left for him. Def try and talk it out in person though, I find that the best way to communicate.

You know how a lot of girls and women think they're way to fat? My problem is the opposite. I'm wayyy to skinny. I feel uncomfortable even in capris or t shirts because my arms and legs are so shrimpy. I have horrible self esteem. I don't even know why I'm so underweight! I eat like a hog 24/7-I eat wayy more than I exercise. I've been trying so hard to gain weight but its not working! People think I'm anorexic. My parents say I look like a model, but I don't really want to look like the Oleson twins when they stopped eating, ya know??? I just wanna be around the same size as my friends. Do you have any idea how I can gain weight???

Hey girl, I know it's tough. Just remember you're beautiful and everybody's body is different. if you're uncomfortable, talk to your parents about what you might be able to do. Over time you'll grow into yourself. When I was a kid I was extremely tiny, and the part I hated most was that my cheek bones looked like they stuck out. After a while, I grew into my self and now I wouldn't change a thing.

i love this website!! but im not allowed to get the actual magazine...=( my rents dont know that i look at this website. they think that im a little baby and every time i try to talk to my dad he just keeps talking about how im growing up so fast.... what should i do??

Hey girl! Well, this magazine is targeted to tweens and teens (girls 10-15 years old), so maybe you could bring that up to your parents (versus other magazines who are geared toward older audiences). You could also talk about how we have articles that discuss with issues that you girls are dealing with especially at this age ... everything from periods to guys! Your parents probably just don't want you to grow up too fast, but if you demonstrate that you respect their rules - but present reasonable arguments for your side - they just might hear you out!

I love my friends to death. But theyre always going on about there latest cardio, how they made the elite volleyball team, etc I'm not athletic at all and it makes me feel bad when they talk about there skills. How can I change the subject without being rude?

Hey girl,

Everyone has their strengths - make sure you don't resent them for having different interests than you! But it can be a drag to hear about it constantly, especially if you don't really care about it. Give them a little bit of time to chat about it, and then bring up a new fave song or something else you guys ALL have in common. They should take the hint and will probably be glad to talk about something new too.

hello?
hi! well i heart dancing, but the people think that I'm five because I am small. One of the instructors even told me to go with the older kids because they know what they're doing! I was really sad cuz im ten.

So should I speak up or do they get it since I have a teeny-tiny solo?

I think it's great if they see your talent for dancing. If they do think you are younger than you are it wouldn't be bad to tell them you are actually 10. My little sister is tiny and she goes through similar things everyday, she has no problem correcting people!

hi, ok heres my problem, so my ex ex boyfriend and i dated for less then a week. we broke up because it was awkward and we liked it better when we liked each other more as a friends. so about 2 weeks later my ex asked me out and we went out for about a month and a half. and the ex ex austin had a gf. so everything was good. well, know i really really like him, i want to tell him but about 2 weeks ago he told me he liked this girl in his math class. i want to tell him, but i more so want to give him a hint, so he can figure it out without me having to tell him.
when we broke we said we'll try going out later in th year. what should i do?

Hm, maybe flirting could give him a hint without actually telling him? If you did say you'd go out later in the year though, maybe you can just ask him about that.

Hey this weekend I'm going on a super long car ride with my grandma to visit my cousins. Do you have any ideas about what I could talk about with her to avoid awkward silences?

Hey girl!

Grandmas LOVE to hear about accomplishments and things that you've done, so talk to her a lot about school. Tell her about the good grades you're getting, what you're learning about in your fave subject, or even about the new soccer team. Also, grandmas love to talk about what they were like when they were your age, and it's also fun to hear! It can be hard to imagine your grandma as a young girl, so ask her what music was cool when she was young and what clothes she wore. It'll be fun to swap stories!

First of all, thx 4 responding so quickly!
Second of all, how do I get motivated to do my homework? At the beginning of the school yr, I qould do it immediately after school. Now I tend to start it about an hour b4 I go to bed,and I end up staying up late doing my homewrk. I also hav a lot of b4-school activities, so I don't hav time to do it b4 then, and I'm not much of a morning person. Wat should I do?? Thx in advance!

Hey girl, no prob. As for HW motivation, try making a to-do list. Give yourself set rewards for doing your HW right after school: i.e. if I do math HW, then I can watch TV for twenty minutes before I do English. Motivate yourself!
