• What should I do about these girls harassing me? (100%)
  You should change your phone number! That's really the only way here. Telling them off or whatever won't do a dang thing but give them what they want. They want to rile you up. So I would just change my number. It takes a few minutes on the phone with ...
  
  
• How do make this decision while pregnant and abused?
  Put the kid up for adoption. You can't care for it yourself and DO NOT let this guy and your mom care for it. PLEASE. And next time a guy hits you, don't take four years to figure out that it's not a good thing.
  
  
• How can I straighten my hair without a straightener? (100%)

• Why is my dad such a wimp?
  "I realize I am lucky to have a dad who cares.." Just leave it at that, girl. Play your lame video games after you go to dinner with dad. Be nice. Be polite. Be frustrated all you want, sure. But be nice. Be polite. Why is it that you conside...
  
  
• How soon is too soon to move in together? (0%)
  I highly recommend that you do NOT move in with anyone if you are not married and under 30. Use your 20's to be independent and learn who you are and explore yourself and have fun. When you move in with someone, it runs you the high risk of stay...
  
  
• Should I wait for my boyfriend who is in jail?
  "Really loving" someone has nothing to do whether or not you will support them in going to jail. Robbery? Drugs? Violence? Theft? Those are the things that land you for extended periods of time. If someone you "love" goes to jail for a year or more,...

• How can I lose weight before school starts?

• Should I get my lip pierced behind my Dad's back?
  What's the point of doing it behind his back when he's obviously going to see it afterwards? He can still make you take it out. Then you'll have wasted all that time and money on nothing. Just be mature and wait until you're 18. It's not that far of...
  
  
• How can I thicken up and straighten my curly hair?
  Sure, do it. Just make sure you go to a professional. Obviously, multidemensional colored hair takes an experienced pro. It's pretty hard to help with hair advice when I can't have my hands in it. So make an appointment and lay i all out for the p...
  
  
• Is there a way to save my hair or should I just wait?

• How can my best friend tell her guy that she isn't a Mom?

• Should I ask her out even though it's a stressful time for her?
  She's not interested in you. If she was, it wouldn't matter what kind of stress was going on in her life. Believe that. Just move on, be her friend but make a date with another girl right away. If you have any remote chance at all at this point, t...

  My best friend got very beautiful in high school as well. 6 foot tall blonde with big brown eyes and legs that went on for miles. I was a 5'6" chubby girl. How did I muddle through it? Well I can't really give you a list of advice other than t...
  
  
• Why don't I get butterflies around my boyfriend?
  At some point in a relationship, you stop getting the butterflies. It means you've grown comfortable and you now know each other well. It's just part of growing up. When you are 30 and have been on 1,000 dates, you will find that butterflies are a...

• How much does a nose piercing hurt?
  Doesn't "hurt" at all. Little sting, little twist, over in a second. It' s really so fast and over before you know it. Go to a GOOD place though.
  
  
• Did my girlfriend talk about sex with this guy online?
  She's flirting with men on line for the ego boost and attention. But at the same time, if her heart were content and true to you, she wouldn't seek this kind of interaction out with strange people on the internet. In my opinion, chatting on...

• Should I keep trying to make my ex-girlfriend jealous? (100%)
  Making someone jealous is not actually a statement of how bad they want you. It is actually a statement of how badly they want you to *want* him/her. So it's futile to go around making people jealous. All you're doing is feeding their self-absorbed...

• Is it possible to plan for twins?
  I think you're toying with fate and that's not a good thing. Just be thankful and gracious for what your body can give you and go with it either way. Also--twins are hereditary. Just because your sister had a couple of kids that weren't twins does...
