    Try mirroring people when you talk to them. This is where you take their tone and energy, and then replicate it. So, if they're laughing, you should laugh with them. If they're kind of sad, speak in a more empathetic and measured tone. By mirroring another person's behavior, you activate the feel-good part of their brain and they'll respond well.

    Community Answer
    Cera-Ve has amazing products for getting rid of pimples. I personally like to use their foaming cleanser, apply 5% benzoyl peroxide cream, mist my face with rubbing alcohol, apply Cera-Ve moisturizer, and follow with one drop of argan oil on my face. If you want any of the links to those products, please feel free to comment on my talk page and I can send them to you.

  • Question
    What if you don't have a lot of confidence, and people never stop teasing you?
    Community Answer
    Usually when people tease you, they are envious of you or insecure about themselves. Pretend to be confident ("fake it 'til you make it"), and don't let their mean teasing hurt you. If they think their teasing is having no effect on you, eventually they'll give up and stop. Be nice to them in the meantime. It may be hard, but treat others the way you want them to treat you.

    Glasses do not make you look ugly. Some people think they make you look classy and smart. If you hate contacts, wear what you like. Own your glasses. Be confident in them. Show people how great you feel wearing your glasses. Who knows, maybe you'll start a new trend.

    Ruby Sporsh
    Community Answer
    You don't need to tell people about your hidden talent. Show them! Do really well in school and sports (if you do sports), and show kindness to everyone. People are drawn to people who are joyful and kind. Love who you are! Be confident!
  • Question
    How can I shape my eyebrows into a nice skinny form without waxing or making them too noticeable?
    Ruby Sporsh
    Community Answer
    Take eyeliner and line your eyebrows where you want them to be. Then pluck anything outside of those lines. It helps to have someone else make the lines for you, so they are symmetrical and not too thin.

    Be yourself. If you try to be someone else, the wrong boy will be attracted to you. Don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. It's a natural process that will work the way it's supposed to. In the meantime, enjoy the life you're living. If you can manage that, it won't matter if you don't happen to have a boyfriend at the moment. There are other pleasures in life.

    You can experiment with makeup combinations until you find your look, or go to a professional makeup stylist.

    I cut my hair short so it's hard to add accessories to it. And even when I put on headbands they get lost in it so I don't know what to do with it!

    Small clips with little decorative elements on them might be a good choice for your short hair, as the decoration will stand out from your hair and the clip will slide on and clip in place with ease. You can choose from a range of designs such as animals, bows, stars, rainbows, etc., depending on where you source the clips from. Look in stores selling hair accessories or do a search using online shopping portals.

    Try to get a shirt that draws people's attention away from your legs. A pretty blouse, sweater, or even t-shirt will distract them. You might also consider an oversized sweatshirt.

  • Question
    What do I do when I think my crush likes my best friend but everyone keeps telling me he likes me?
    Community Answer
    Be straightforward. You can try talking to your crush, casually working up to the question of if he likes anyone. If you need some help, look up any of the many wikiHow articles on how to talk to your crush. If your friends are trustworthy, listen to them! If you don't trust them enough to listen, then that's okay. Follow your heart!

  • Question
    What if you are chunky, then how are you meant to look prettier than all the other girls? And what if you're just plain ugly and nobody likes you?
    Community Answer
    Be confident, smart and outgoing. It is possible to convince people you're gorgeous if you act as if you own the space. Beauty is inner more than outer and there are some way ordinary people out there, even celebrities, who have carved a belief in the rest of us that they're pretty even though they don't meet standard ideas of beauty. And treat people well, make them feel like they're the only person in the world when you talk to them, that is truly seductive. And bet you anything you're not "plain ugly" but it's how you feel rather than what's true.
