Is it bad for my nails to always have polish on them?

 

 

If you can’t live without your weekly mani, don’t worry: Polish isn’t harmful to the health of your nails, says Dr. Vivian W. Bucay, a dermatologist and assistant clinical professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. That said, skipping basecoat prior to painting on darker shades can result in your nails yellowing, thanks to a chemical reaction between the polish and your nail plate. So layer on that lacquer and you’ll be good to go.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm a really confident person. i think i'm beautiful and a good person, but lately i've been questioning it:
1. I used to think i was curvy with an hourglass figure, but i measured myself and it didn't match what i saw in the mirror. My measurements were bust:32in waist:28in hips:30in. This makes me think I'm a ruler, but I don't think I look so small.
2. I like to wear shirts from Hollister and Aeropostale, and those shirts happen to be kind of tight. At first it didn't matter to me, but now I kind of like the idea of a shirt that shows off my curves (ignoring the previous statement here). I feel a little-pardon my french-slutty when I think that way, but at the same time I crave attention (sometimes too much) , so I let myself enjoy it. But I still feel terrible! Help!

 

hey! Don't feel bad, everyone likes attention Smile it's normal to feel body conscious, but instead of fixating on how you look in the mirror, try to focus harder on getting that old confidence back. Try to think positively about yourself and I think that will help you regain a good self image. I hope this helps!

How can I deal with mean girls who are bullying me and ruining my reputation?

 

Hey! I'm sorry you're going through that! Here are some steps you can take to prevent it

1) Stand up for yourself. You are a smart, talented, beautiful human being, and you do not have to put up with bullies. Tell them to leave you alone.

2)  If step 1 doesn't work and they keep bullying you, tell someone. A teacher, parent, counselor. Anyone you trust.

3) Never lose hope. You may not be able to directly control how these kids treat you, but you can control how you react to them. They are bullying you because it somehow makes them feel good, and that is a problem they will have to face down the line. If you stay strong, and are a kind person and think positive thoughts about yourself, nothing they can say to you can change your feelings about who you are. I really hope this helps!

mod mod mod I don't go to counseling anymore.

Hey girlie,

If your school doesn't have a guidance counselor maybe you could talk to another trusted adult like an older family member.

i keep having a bad dream and i'm scared it actually happened my parent says i'm being stupid and it didn't
but it keeps bothering me

Hey girlie,

I would try to think of happy things to forget about the dream, and if it's still bothering you then you could explain it to your counselor and they can help you get over it!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
