Hello

For english, we are writing expository essays. My thesis statement is basically "I believe that yada yada yada is blank because (my three reasons)" My teacher read that over and said it was good, but I have to put it in an original manner. I originally wrote the statement, so I'm not sure how to make it more 'original'?

So today I got my first ever eyebrow waxing (I'm 15) and I told her to just shape them, and keep them thick because my eyebrows were naturally pretty thick, but she totally thinned them out!! They are short and thin and I bought some stuff to fill them in with, but I don't want to have to draw my eyebrows on for the rest of my life! Will they grow back to normal? How long will it take for them to grow? And what can I do to make them grow faster and back to normal?

Lately, I've noticed I've been having a bit more anxiety than normal. It's fine, except for when I'm home alone, or home with siblings. For example, my mom just now went to the store with my brother, and I had called her for something, but she didn't answer. I tried again and no answer, but left a message. I was starting to worry. I told myself I'll call again in 10 minutes. So I did, not answer. At this point I was so anxious, I was shaking and nearly in tears. I was thinking the worst, although I knew everything would be fine, I called again in five more minutes, and she answer. Her phone was on silent, nothing else had happened. After I hung up, tears just started falling from relief. This is the worst that has happened, and I have no idea why I got so worked up over something so small. She hadn't even been gone an hour and I was sooo anxious. This happens a lot when she goes out, but never to when I'm shaking and crying. Why is this happening and what can I do to calm myself? Thanks

So my friends had this miraculous idea of ambushing me with wear balloons, and my phone was with me, it didn't get very wet but obviously wet enough. I already tried a hard restart, and plugging headphones in a few times (which work when plugged in) but it won't go back to the normal setting when they aren't plugged in. Is there anything else I can do or do I have to take it to the apple store?

So lately I've been thinking a lot about animal rights, and the way humans treat animals in unacceptable. Just to think there are places where animals are fed steroids, living on top of each other, then being killed just sickens me. It makes me want to go vegetarian. But there's another side of me where if you look in nature, it's natural for animals to eat other animals. I would have no problem eating meat if I knew the animal lived a happy life before it was used for food, rather than at some factory living in misery. But going vegetarian would be life changing, and I'm not going to lie I enjoy eating my meats! Is there any way that I can get meat from a better way, or should I take the challenge to give up meat??

So I'm going to a friends pool party in three days, and I got my period two days ago. This is only my fourth period, so I'm not regulated and don't know what to be expecting. Today has been the heaviest day so far, and I'm afraid I'll still be on my period by the day of the pool party. I already told her I can come. Is it rude not to swim at the party, and just hang out on the side? Or should I just say something came up and not go? I know that the easy answer is wear tampons, but as this is only my fourth period, I'm still uncomfortable with the whole thing and have only been using pads. I don't think it would be a good idea to wear a tampon for the first time at a pool party, as I would be worrying about the tampon the whole time I'd be swimming. So yeah, tampons aren't an option. So what is the best thing I can do in this situation??

I'm 14, if that matters, but my lips are always dry and chapped it drives me crazy!! I put vaseline on as often as I can but it's only giving me instant relief and not fixing the problem! And my lips are fairly thin so then they dry out quicker and it's annoying. I drink a lot of water, so why is this happening and what do I do???

I think the part in my head is a rapping part, maybe? But it goes something like "I know what you're like girl, you know what you've got....something something something....whether you like it or not"

Tomorrow I want to wear a casual but somewhat tight dress, and it shows my stomach. I'm fine with my normal size, but I wasn't thinking ahead and had a heavy meal of pasta for dinner, and now I feel and look like a balloon! What are some quick and easy ways I can get back to normal?

Either when I'm home alone or with a sibling. But when I stay home and my mom and sibling go out, I'm always terrified they will get in some freak car accident or something and never come home. I freak myself out and am so relieved when they come home. I'm home with my little brother now, and starting to freak myself out because my mom and other brother were supposed to be home ten minutes ago. Why do I think like this and what should I do??

So, I'm going to be 15 in June. My bedroom is my childhood bedroom, horse themed. I want to paint the walls, get new furniture, and decorate. Every time I bring up the subject, my mom is always like "We aren't doing anything until you clean your room." MY ROOM IS ALWAYS SPOTLESS!!!! And I know for sure that money is not the issue. Plus, I'm willing to help pay! I get good grades and am a good child. What should I do?

Also, my biggest problem is that I have a twin sized bed. I find myself nearly falling off at night, I move around a lot in my sleep. I have the biggest bedroom in the house, apart from my parents room, and yet a twin bed? And every time I talk about this, my mom says, "It wouldn't be fair to your brothers if you got a bigger bed." (my brothers are 17 and 10) I don't see what they have to do with my bed! If they want a bigger bed, I'm sure if they asked they would get it within a week!

Ok, so basically I think it would be a cool job working with mentally ill people. Not mentally disabled (like ADHD) or a counselor necessarily, but people who are legitimately mentally ill. Almost maybe even into criminals who are mentally ill, or something along those lines. I don't really know what kind of jobs are out there, so that's what I'm asking! Thanks :) also, i don't know if this is in the same area, but what is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist??

Ok so basically I'm always unmotivating myself. I'm a girl-14. I have like no hobbies, so naturally I want to try something new. Cooking for example-I would like to start cooking more often. But then this side of me is like, are you really going to do that? You won't even be good, and it will take to much time, and it would be a waste. But I do this for EVERYTHING. Even like if I have an interest or a belief, and want to work towards a cause or school or something, I'm just like- you won't make a difference anyway, nobody will care, don't even bother. But, I don't have low self esteem, at least I don't feel I do. The last thing is, whenever I actually do something and accomplish something, I always feel like-'that wasn't even bad, why would you have not don't that?' So yeah, basically, why am I doing this to myself and how do I get out of this vicious cycle.

So I have an older brother, 17, and a younger, 10. I'14, the only girl. I'm constantly getting yelled at to do chores and clean my room by my mom, but she does their chores and literally cleaned both of their rooms this weekend. Yesterday, my little brother did computer literally ALL DAY. I was on for a few hours today, and I'm getting kicked off just so he can get on! And my older brother has his own computer! My mom does my little brothers homework, and my older brother gets average grades, but I'm a straight A's student..I get a 'good job' and that's basically it. Both my brothers take golf lessons, and I wanted to start for about a year now, but she just hasn't signed me up. I used to ride horses, which she un-signed me up for without even an explanation why. I'm planning on asking if I can ride again this summer. Whenever I want to go out with friends, she rarely lets me, even though my bros can whenever they want. So basically, why is she like this and what can I do??
