me and my mates wen we leave school all say we will go to the same university. i really want to but i also want to do things for myself. i dont no how to tell my mates but hopefully sum 1 out there will help me thanx (link)

That's how most groups of close friends are, but the truth is that you will eventually have to separate from your friends and get out in world without them. There is a good and badside to that- The bad side is that you have to leave them behind, but the good side is that you get to make new friends on the way. My advice to you is to just be honest and tell your "mates" that you want to do things for yourself, and you have ambitions of your own. I'm sure they will understand or come to understand. They probably have things they want to accomplish on their own as well.

Hey ok ive ben hilighting my hair for about a year and i jus wanna dye it but my mom wont lemme do u have any ideas that will make my hair blopnder or any way i can get my mom to dye my hair ? thanx!! (link)

Well, the easiest and cheapest way to get it blonder without dying it is by mixing lemonjuice and water together in one of those spray bottles, and spraying it in your hair then going out in the sun. The suns rays will react to the lemon and turn your hair a lighter color.

Does any one know of any cute make-up styles to wear for a casual date? I have a budget but I do have a lot of products. Can any one help me? (link)

I think for a casual date, you should go for the natural makeup look. By that I mean, not apply too much makeup and by picking neutral colors.
-For your eyes, you should apply a little bit of liner (brown if you have blonde or red hair, and dark brown or black if you have brown or black hair) on the top and bottom. Then you should curl your lashes and apply a little bit of mascara. You should skip wearing eyeshadow, but if you are one of those people that has to wear eyeshadow, apply a light neutral color, like champagne.
-For your face you should put a tiny bit of light foundation on, just to the point where it looks like you aren't wearing any but it evens out your skin. If you don't like foundation or are blessed with perfect skin, try a tinted moisturizer just for evenness. Apply a pinkish colored blush to the apples of your cheeks, and at the top of your forehead, and bottom of your chin for a glow.
-For lips, since it's summer and pink gloss is in style, first put on some lip balm to make lips soft then apply a pinkish colored lipgloss. The pink can range from light pink to hot pink.
You don't have to spend a million dollars on buying clinique and MAC makeup to achieve this look. In fact, you can go to the dollar stor and get great makeup for a cheap price. Some cheap but good brands of makeup to look for are: NYC and covergirl.
Hope this helps :/

I have acne kinda bad on my back ive tryed alot of things-Proactive,Birthcontrol,Natures Cure, EVERYTHING anyone got ideas? (link)

Try using a body wash that specializes in clearing the skin. I think neutrogena makes a few body washes for acne on your body.

i bite my nails all the time. somtimes i bet them some much or so hard, they bleed. it really hurts but i cant stop especially when im nervous. what do i do to stop?? (link)
| |
I have the same problem! I bite mine when I'm really bored in class, or when I'm anxious about something. A good way to stop biting your nails is to paint them. That way everytime you bite them, you get a nasty taste in your mouth from the nail polish that will definately leave you not wanting to taste again!

it's my boyfriend's birthday in a couple of weeks and i have no idea what to get him! does anyone have any ideas? it can't be rude or too adult we're only 13. Thanks! (link)

Think about what his hobbies are, and what he's really into. From there, you would be able to have a clearer idea of what it is you could buy him.

ok, see im popular because im great with friends.. but i want one of my best friends to like me(i mean like me a lot)..ne ways.. i also want to have more friends and be in with the popular crowd. i don't want to because i feel that im not cool enough or anything like that, i just want to be friends with the popular crowd as well. So how do I do it? (link)

Having confidence is a very important factor in making friends. When you are confident, you feel like you can accomplish anything in life. However, I don't think being friends with the popular kids should be one of your top priorities. I think you should worry more on finding real friends that will stick with you by your side for a long time because people come and go in your life, but real friends stay by your side. If you worry too much about being friends with popular people, then you will start trying to be like them and forgetting about who you really are on the way. I don't think people should have to change themselves to please anyone. Keep being yourself and make friends who like you for who you are and who you can be yourself around.

okay well my ex boyfriend asked me out i said no when i still really liked him because i didn't want to screw up and hurt him again but he knows i still really like him and he said that he still likes me but last weekend i saw him and this girl i really dont like together and he had his arm around her sholder and stuff i got really mad and now shes always saying how much she likes him what should i do? should i just stop liking him.. its going to be hard (link)
| |
Hmm, it sounds like he was trying to make you jealous by being all over that girl. If that was the case, he got exactly what he wanted by making you mad. I think you should move on because you already had your experiences dating your ex and there are plenty of fish in the sea. There will be another guy that comes into your life and sweeps you off your feet, and you just have to wait for it.

I want to learn to play the violin. I own one already, two in fact. I don't have money for lessons and they aren't offered for free at school but I really want to learn. I've tried teaching myself, but in the past it hasn't worked. I've always given up without that initial drive to learn that comes with lessons. It's like I need someone forcing me to do it. My parents have never really been supportive of me learning any instrument and it's unfair that they were both given opportunities in school to play and I haven't. I want to play so badly that I cry myself to bed at night over it. But I have no way to learn. (link)

Do some research around the area where you are living at, I'm sure someone out there would be willing to give you a few lessons for free. Or you can talk to someone you know in orchestra, and ask them to show you a few things on the violin. I hope this helps you a little bit :)
