i got rid of all my acne and occasionally have one pimple here and there but it definitely is SOSOSOSOOOO much better than my horrific acne in 8th grade. now all i have left is scars and the occasional one pimple on my entire face. i've been using this antibiotic medicine, natural soaps, and rarely but sometimes, masks. i want to get my acne scars to go away completely and quickly while they still can because im still a teen and i can heal my skin at this age. how can i heal all my scars and get a beautiful face again? btw the scars arent horrible and deep, they're mostly surface and a teeny bit deep but thats it. my face looks clear in a mirror 2 feet away. you can only see them when you're close by.

ive never ever done anything to my eyebrows at all, and lately its been bothering me A LOT that i cant get the nerve to ask my mom if i can pluck them or wax them or SOMETHING. also, i have facial hair around the cheek area and mustache area. i want to get rid of all the hair! my eyebrows look thick and make me look ugly when everyone else (all my friends except a few) have theirs done! im a freshman in high school. are there any masks i can do to remove all the other hairs on my face?? any suggestions would really help.

how would you look at someone if they did this?

if a really really nice girl with plenty of friends went to your school and did this, what would you think?

she wears her hair up in a loose ponytail everyday, nothing special about it. she doesn't really ever wear her hair down... she wears moccasins like some popular people, is pretty good in social status, has a relatively big nose from the side, has many friends and is very nice. also, she only wears simple clothing. striped shirts and skinny jeans, plain shirts and a sweater and skinny jeans, all with her hair up every day. and sweatshirts. she doesn't really have much fashion sense. once you saw her wearing a really nice shirt, but she covered it up with a sweater. she went to homecoming and you saw her with her beautiful flowing hair down, and she was in an amazing dress. it was simple and not strapless, but she looked really nice. she doesn't seem insecure once you get to know her. she's really nice and helps people when they need it. you heard she gives really great advice. she's different. she's in band, but not a band geek. she shuns band when she isn't in it. she's fun to joke around with once you get to know her, and she's a cool person all in all. its just her hair. it's always clean and she always smells great, but she never wears her hair down, and it seems like she's holding herself back from wearing the other clothes in her wardrobe. she likes to dance and likes music. her facebook profile pictures get 30-36 likes everytime, and she looks alright in some pictures, gorgeous in others.

how would you be around someone like this? would you like them? what advice would you give them? would you be friends with them? do you think they're liked by everyone? do you think they're a really amazing person?

so they're not terrible, but my eyes look smaller because of this. im a teen, and looks are important. i hate having bags under my eyes, and they're like tiny scoops down into my face. i can't seem to cover them up with foundation really well so that doesn't work. is there any natural face masks i can do to lift that skin back up?

yeah there's those people that seem so carefree and happy and i AM like that on the inside but recently i feel like i can't be like that anymore. i wish i was just one of those people that meets a new person and gets them to love them instantly. i wish i could be like that. im not asking for more attention. i just want MORE people to like me. and i need tips on how to do this. lately i feel like my friend's getting more attention than me, and no, im not jealous i swear, but i just feel like i could be liked more than her and i want to prove myself to the world. how can i do this?? please help.

also, does the amount of people like me affect whether or not i get many likes on my facebook profile picture? i don't know why but i feel like getting 100 likes on my picture would be an amazing self esteem boost, even though mine's pretty dang high already. i just wish... i don't know why.

how do i get a lot of likes? more than 50 at least.

ok. well lately i've been really conscious about how to get people to like me a lot. like all people in general. i am a very trustworthy girl who has never done drugs, had sex, or had a boyfriend. i've never stabbed a friend in the back and i've always been nice to everyone. i do have many friends, but i don't feel like that friend that everyone loves insanely. no im not asking for attention. i just want to be that person that everyone loves so much and always wants to be around. i have these senior friends that i've known for a while and this is a feeling i feel guilty about, but i want them to love me more than my friend. what can i do besides being really nice to them?

the problem is, i get really annoyed of this friend and maybe even a little jealous. yes, i am more popular than her, but that doesn't even make a difference. i hate her because she keeps friending people on facebook that i knew first and she doesn't even know that well. it annoys the crap out of me and i wish i could just tell her to unfriend them. she even copies my friends on facebook. she friends everyone i friends. it got to the point where i put her on my restricted list on facebook. in general she annoys me like crazy. she has problems at home and i've always been so supportive. she just goes insane and starts laughing like a lunatic to cover it up. I JUST WANT HER TO STOP TAKING AWAY MY FRIENDS. why do they like her more than me? i've always been the nicer one and yet it seems like they want to hang out with her more than they want to hang out with me. EVEN WHEN I TALK TO THEM MORE THAN SHE DOES! and she just keeps friending people on facbeook that are my friends and not hers and i wish i could just scream.

honestly now i feel like my goal in life is to make people love me so that they like her as an average person. im a great person and everyone tells me that, yet MY FRIENDS who i KNEW FIRST like her more than me? how is that possible! she's not social, and she def doesn't know how to interact with people. i honestly can't stand her anymore, and i've never hated someone like this before. in fact, i've barely ever hated ANYONE before. she just annoys me so much.

HOW CAN I BE THAT AMAZING PERSON EVERYONE JUST LOVES SO MUCH THAT THEY ALWAYS WANT TO BE AROUND YOU? like glue and paper.

i have butt-long brown hair that people say is really pretty. i haven't worn it down to school or special occasions for four years. i always wear it in a loose ponytail. i don't even think the ponytail fits my face. i have a really ugly nose and i just feel like the ponytail makes my face look longer and uglier than it already is. im not ugly, at least no one has ever told me so. in fact i've been called "freaking gorgeous" by someone who barely knows me. but i look so bad in pictures from the side because my nose sticks out. my appearance is bad and i probably look like a weirdo to people for wearing my hair up everyday. i wanted to start wearing it down in high school but i didn't want anyone to compliment me or say anything at all. i wish it was just a normal thing for me to wear it down. i remember in middle school my friends used to try to pull my hair tie out because they said i looked so pretty and i never would. i feel like now they've given up trying to convince me too. idk, maybe i should trim my hair a little and then start leaving it down because otherwise it looks sooooo weird down it looks wayyy too long. i just don't know how to convince myself to get rid of this habit before my hair and my self esteem gets ruined.

i have gotten all a's since 5th grade and now im in freshemen year with all a's and one c. in math. im in honors math and have been soosososo good at it. i feel like quitting piano got rid of my brain. i feel like mush all the time, and i just don't feel myself. i feel like i won't do good on the midterm this week. i've studied so much but i still don't get how to set up the equations for linear and quadratic story problems, and i just feel plain stupid. yes, i will admit that my teacher sucks, but my dad's sitting there at home helping me like crazy. he's amazing and i just feel like i don't take enough advantage of his smarts to learn as much as i can. i just get so frustrated that i don't get math anymore and i need an a! i don't know what im gonna do. my midterm's in two days and i've been studying for the entire day for two days but i feel like i haven't mastered everything yet. i have a chance of getting that c up to an a only if i ace my midterm completely. otherwise i don't have a chance and im just so worried.

i don't know but i feel like no one LOVVESSS me. i want to be that one girl who everyone just loves because of her friendly personality and her charm and all that good stuff. but i feel like im not. people tell me they love me and that im awesome but i feel like not enough. i don't want to be POPULAR, no that's not what it is. i mean maybe a little bit,but not completely. i just want to be that awesome person who just gets everyone to like them somehow. i've never felt this way about myself before but lately i feel so bad just because i can't manage to get a good grade in this one class (i know that's stupid, but it just makes me feel like an idiot), i just want everyone to love me. how do i be that girl who everyone loves and wants to be friends with and be around in general, the girl they trust. yes my friends rely on me for sooo many things and rely on me to hold secrets and everything but i dont get called pretty everyday like my one friend or i love you friend like my other friend. i just don't know anymore.

i know what everyone must think. you need to stop judging yourself by how many likes you get on your facebook profile picture. but honestly i just have this one friend who i feel degraded against. she gets more likes on her profile picture and i didn't and people tell me im pretty but not as much as her and i just feel so horrible. i just wish more people would like it. i just updated it and i got 25 and she got 40. i know this isn't a competition and i feel horrible for even thinking this way about myself but she isn't even that beautiful in person?! i don't know... can i get it higher up in people's newsfeed's or something without promoting it or something??!

i feel like there's something wrong with me. i keep thinking to myself that i have so many problems. i have so much acne and i have a bunch of scars left now. i want to get rid of them and be that beautiful girl i've always dreamed of being. i want to leave my butt length hair down to school but instead i've worn it up in the same ponytail for four years. only my closest friends have seen me wear my hair down. i don't know why. am i afraid of compliments? im afraid to wear new clothes because i don't want people to say anything so i wear good but lame in my perspective clothes to school. i want to be that amazing girl with an amazing personality that everyone just loves and everyone knows. not popular. just amazing and knows everyone. but i feel like i can't be. i feel like that spots already taken by someone else. i got a new desk without asking for it. and i hate it. i wanted it at first but now every time i sit at it i get angry and i don't even know why. i just tell my mom i don't like the desk. my parents are the best in the world and im so fortunate but i never show it. i can never act myself around my parents even though they're so nice and supportive. i feel like im hiding my true self from the world. i can't even tell my mom i love wearing dresses and skirts because i haven't worn them for such a long time. she even called me a tomboy once and smiled so i went along with it. i don't know. whenever they ask me what im doing i hide it and say im doing nothing to the extent they suspect me. i used to be an all a student. now i have one c (which i can bring up but still) and all a's. i feel like i've degraded myself. my willpower's completely gone. i break down crying for no reason at all. i feel like i have so much on my head when i don't. i don't even know. i keep going on the computer and wasting my time and i can't just get my work done and over with. im losing sleep, my temper, and my love for my loved ones. im only a teenager. i feel horrible. im not on drugs and i've never done any sexual activity. im a good kid. i just don't know what's wrong with me. i feel like im the only one going through this sudden failiure in life but i just feel like crap. everyone i know likes me and i have a good life. i just don't know how to get through this. why can't i just get my work done! i can't even motivate myself or tell myself i HAVE to do something anymore. i always put everything off until later and that messes everything else in my life up. HELP.

let me explain. our teacher has us read any book we want over the card marking.then she gives us a random prompt everyone has to write on, supporting the prompt with evidence from our book. i didn't finish my book because i guess i lazed off this entire card marking, i have a ton of other homework today, my book is 330 pages long and i have only 30 pages read. the essay is tomorrow. i was thinking of going on sparknotes and looking it up.

can someone tell me what water for elephants is all about? that would be helpful.

and how do i ace an essay on a book im not halfway through?

ive been an honor roll student getting all a's since fifth grade which is basically the beginning of getting grades in general and currently i have all a's and one b- about to become a c in this class. algebra 2 honors. my teacher literally is terrible. all she does is give us a worksheet for homework we all have no idea how to do, and then the next day we spend looking over it but not really LEARNING how to do all the problems. i have to ask my dad for help on my math homework every day and its just not doable to sit down and practice problems every. single. day. with so much other homework. i just don't know what to do. i have a logarithms, graphing logarithms, and inverses test tomorrow and so far i only completely understand basic logarithms and inverses. i don't know how im going to study. if i don't ace this test ill have a c in math and my only chance to raise it up will be to ace the midterm but that might not give me an a. im scared because i don't want to get kicked out of honors because i get a c in the class. i've never had a c as my final grade. i know that my teacher's bad because more than half our class has a c or lower. actually more than 3/4. im actually one of the top grades and more than half of the people in our class are dropping out next semester but im sticking with it if i can. i really need to ace this test tomorrow. my grade depends on it.

MY QUESTION:

~How can i study for this test so that i ace it (good tips please, preferrably from personal experience) and how can i still get an a in this class with approx. three weeks left and no extra credit available except if i get really lucky.

recently i've really really wanted an iphone 5. so i asked my dad for one, because my mom doesn't mind if i get it. my dad was the one that needed to be convinced. now im not too spoiled. im 15 with a macbook pro and a really really horrible cell phone i want to replace with an iphone. i still get good grades and have good friends and have never done anything bad. im an honors kid at school. i don't know why my dad wouldn't be convinced because he always buys me everything i ask for. im never going to ask him for anything bigger than this and i've told him that and promised that several times. I'm very responsible. he didn't buy me the iphone even though i asked for it for my birthday. now im kinda mad at him and am acting awkward around him. i know this isn't the right thing but i can't help it! i don't even know why. what can i do to make sure he completely trusts me like my mom does and what can i do to show him that i love him and that im responsible?

im mad at my "best friend". there are quotes around this because i don't like her... at all anymore. i guess im jealous that it seems like she gets more attention from my bestest friends than me. i feel like everyone likes her more than me and i hate that feeling. i want to be that girl who everyone loves to be around, but i don't seem to be that person. i feel like im putting myself down and not being that person by worrying about her and what she does. i used to be such a laid back, lovable person, and now i feel like i can't manage myself and my feelings to feel happy because of her. i also get really mad when she friends my friends on facebook that she doesn't even know, and i don't know if i should tell her not to friend them, since its not really my business. how can i stop thinking about what she's doing, and how can i slowly drift myself and my friends away from her? none of this is in a bad way. thanks. basically, how can i get away from my best friend.

So, i need lots and lots of advice from people who are doing really really well in math (A or above please in an honors class). Right now im taking algebra 2 and im in the honors track. i've been doing sosososo well in this track since, well, elementary school. ever since high school started, my grades in ONLY MATH have been going down. partly my teacher confuses me, but i have a C, as i found out yesterday through my mom...

Well my questions is, HOW DO I GET MY GRADE BACK UP TO AN A? the semester is going to end in three weeks so i still have the midterm to help me and plenty more quizzes. the problem is, i CANNOT screw another quiz up. I need motivation, and lots of tips. I will get an A in math by the end of this semester. Somehow.

im just wondering because i feel like idk what to wear everyday.

1)please give me suggestions on how i can form cute outfits with these clothes and butt length hair.

- i own

-lots of plain colored long and short sleeved t shirts

-one striped long sleeve shirt

-one striped half sleeve shirt

-plaid shirt

-4 cammis/layering tanks

-1 tye dye tank

-1 flowery tank

-2 pairs of leggings

-2 pairs of skinny jeans

-2 pairs of bootcut jeans

-black dress pants

-4 different plain colored scarves (should i get pretty patterned ones?)

-black patterned flats

-moccasins

-tennis shoes

-cardigans

-knitted sweaters

-school sweatshirt

2) can you please give me suggestions on what else i can add to my wardrobe that girls wear? i want to dress comfortably, so i need to get new sweats, but i feel like im not wearing what other people are wearing.

3) what makeup/accessories/bags/etc. somewhat should i own?

sorry if this sounds really preppy or anything but im in a crisis... i have trouble deciding what to wear everyday and i feel like i always wear the same thing (or similar). help!?!

i hope i get a lot of thought out answers for this because i really need to know what's wrong with me. ok. so my entire wardrobe is filled with plain t shirts, long sleeve shirts, a few striped shirts, plaid shirt, pretty cardigans, ugly knitted sweaters i wear at home because im embarassed to wear them to school because apparently "knitted sweaters are for losers", 3 dresses ( i know its stupid, but i never get them) and legging, bootcut, and skinny jeans. now. every single fricking day, i always wear some plain long sleeved t shirt with sneakers and bootcut jeans that don't fit me slightly and make me feel fat. i have so many clothes (i have a lot more than i described) but i always wear the same exact thing and i feel like a loser! it makes me feel really really gross when all the other girls are wearing uggs and my mom insists on buying me uggs, i keep telling her no. i have an amazing pair of moccasins, and flats, and i never wear those to school either! i could actually look really cute everyday, but instead, i wear my super butt long hair up in a stupid ponytail everyday when everyone thinks my hair is so pretty. i never wear my scarves either! i haven't been wearing my hair down for 3 years, to school. i always wear it down at home but now im scared of wearing it down... i don't even know why. no one makes fun of it. and i really don't know what to do. every time i think of wearing something i feel like someone's gonna judge me when they're NOT going to. no one ever judges me by my clothes. i never wear anything i have! helpp!??!?!

well it really bothers me that my best friend keeps acting like she knows everyone i knew first and its really really stupid but i want to tell her how i feel and i want to ask her to unfriend my really good friend on facebook because "it'll make me feel better". she's the type of person that will do anything for me because other than this we have absolutely no problems with each other. idk if i should talk to her and just get out how i feel so ill feel more comfortable around her again. i've been acting really awk because it bothers me that she always ends up becoming friends with the people other than her that im SEPERATELY closest with.

i used to have a really fast metabolism. i mean i wasn't THAT athletic but i did work out more than now and stuff and now i eat a LOT of chips (idk if that's the problem). anyways i no longer have a flat belly and i have some flab in my legs which i am not proud of when wearing skinnys and tight shirts i have to suck in.

so why did my metabolism slow down, how can i speed it up again, and how can i lose all that extra fat again?

thanks :)
