What should I do about these girls harassing me?(100.00%)

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,...

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.
