Um...hi. I'm just entering this school-middle school- and almost every girl there seems flawless. They dress like prostitutes-no offence, really! and well...they're kind of popular...and mean. People like that is what makes you struggle through school, and what I'm saying is that I need help-from girls who have survived middle school-and are livin' the good life. Any tips-beauty tips, avoiding bullies-any will be apreciated. Please help me! oh yeah, I don't want any pores, pimples, acne...any tips of how to avoid those evil nasties?

Be yourself, don't try to act like other people.
Don't cake on the make-up, natural is better.
Wash make-up off your face every night.
Be nice to the brains/geeks, alot of them turn out pretty cool in high school. Not to mention some turn out pretty hot.
Good luck in middle school!

Don't try to hard to fit in, you don't need to impress anyone. Concentrate on your grades- friends will come. Maybe join some extra curricular activities. That's always a good way to meet people. If you try too hard to fit in it will be obvious and you may be picked on for it. Be natural. As far as bullies- don't take any crap from anyone- I would never recommend fighting to someone so young but if you're pushed into a corner you gotta do what you gotta do. Stick up for yourself. I have survived middle school, high school and college- there is life after middle school- I promise. And everything you do go through will only build character and prepare you for the real world. After you graduate it won't matter who was most popular or wore the best clothes. As far as skin- cleanse twice daily, no makeup- you're too young- and use an astringent too like sea breeze, that will help. Noxzema is a great cleanser. Well, good luck, and remember, those girls may be pretty but they are an empty shell as far as personality- you're better than that, and it will pay off on graduation day- I promise. Keep your eyes on the prize....

Well hun, for cleansing the face get lime and sugar until thick and use it 2 x per week, scrub in the tub, depending if you are sensative.
As for middle school, yeah it's hard but be yourself
What is flawless to you?
Do you want a bigger butt?..... do swats ( i work at a gym)
bigger breast? push up bras, with wire.....
Not all of us can where the most expensive clothes so just take a look at what your like, think about what styles you like and get'em on sale, thrift stores have great jeans!Might even find new stuff.
make up tips look in walgreens for the almay brand they help bring out your color or get those colors separate (talking about eyeshadows) Oh and remember the guys are all over those girls cuz they want some.....
so before you ct think of what kind of attention you want!
Just an note remember having sex or oral whatever does not make you popular it makes you worthless!
really!!! Im not tryiing to be mean, it's true!
trust me I always had alot of guy friends
Keep clean, neat and be your sweet self, it will take you farther!!!
work out, it's for life not just to get abs excetra
As for bullies, kick their a_ _ ! Don't be a bully yourself or a bad a _ _ but keep your ground! You lose some you win some! So think how do you win them all? Work out, take class!
But have fun! Don't pay attention to those things.

I'm 21 now, and when I was in Middle school I had the worst time. I had glasses,and the worst acne ever! Although it was a pretty bad time in my life, I still found some great friends to hang with and they are my buds to this day. But anyway, if you are having trouble with acne, I have a few things that I am still using to this day that helped. Number one I stopped eating red meat and drinking milk. They are loaded with hormones that can break out your skin. Everyday, like befor I get in the shower I put lemon juice on my face, (I use the kind in the fake lemon) Let it dry for ten mins, and then wash it off. Then I use honey as a mask. Leave that on for five mintues and hop in the shower and rinse. The lemon helps remove the dead skins from your pores and the honey heals the already damaged areas. After showers and after I take my make-up off I use Tea Tree oil. It stinks, but it works. After that drys I use Salicylic acid gel, like from netrogena on top of that. That is mostly at night. Doing all of those things has worked for me, it takes about a week to notice a diffrence but you will. As for the girls at school. Now that I am older, and I've looked them up on myspace, they are all pretty much pathetic, and not as threatening as they once seemed to be. And remeber that if they are picking on you, odds are their parents are picking on them. Alot of abused kids are the ones who are mean to other kids at school. Hope this helped! Good luck!

U forget about the other girls, they are not related to u, dont think about them, think how u will go over there. U dress up nicely, be confident. And if they bully, u dont say anything juz ignore. If u ignore, it will automatically go back to them. If u ignore they will feel whos listening to them, then they will stop. Best way is to ignore them.
And for pimples & acne, wash ur face with mild face-wash not more than twice a day with warm water, dont rub ur face with the towel, but tap-dry slowly. If u rub the towel on ur face, it irritates the skin. It also troubles the pimples from inside, and they grow more.
If ur pimples or acne are in excess then see ur family doctor, he will give u a medicated cream on ur pimples. Y I'm telling, I tried this out wid my doctor, and he gave me a medicated cream that worked wonders. So, definitely ur doctor will prescribe u a suitable cream for ur skin. Go! baby. But b4 going to the doctor, try out the simple do's.
Good Luck!

well i remember when i was in middle school i almost had the same problem but i got along with everybody!! although i really didn't hang around w/ them we were still cool. just try to get along and not have any problems w/ them. make ur group of friends and even though ur friends and those other girls are different u still can be good friends.
to avoid those nasties just don't eat alot of junk food like chips and stuff like that it is sooooooo bad for ur skin.
hope this advice helps

For the mean kids:
If they dont bother you, but you just think theyre mean, just ignore them. they wont do anything to you if you dont do anything to them. stay close to your friends and try to make friends in the "normal crowd". If they do bother you, dont try to even things up with them. you'll only turn up getting hurt. just try to endure them, and through time, they'll find other people to bother and forget about you. dont worry, if you work and study hard, you'll be put in higher classes than them in high school, and you can distance yourself from them. just be yourself. :)
For the pimple/acne, if you dont have any yet, just remember to clean your face everyday. dont use anything too cheap though, it can be harsh on your skin. keeping your pores clean can help keep those pimiples away. remember pimples are oils and dirt getting clogged in your pores. if youve started getting pimples already, DONT PICK AT THEM. it'll just aggrevate them more and can start oozing and leave a scar. let them calm down and then wash your face with mild cleanser. dont overuse soaps or cleansers on your face. it can be harsh to your delicate facial skin and can cause excessive dryness. also excercise alot. take a jog outside for 15 min and after that, take a hot shower and wash your face. it'll really refreshen you and helps remove blackheads.
dont worry about midde school. if you just be yourself and push those prostitutes out of your face, you'll be fine.

BE YOURSELF! Befriend whoever befriends you... trust me I've been there. It's good to have a good mix of friends and I know it's hard to believe but the more different types you interact with, the better off you'll be in the real world. Those clicky mean preppy types get a swift kick after high school when they're not so hot anymore.

ok with the face just buy the walmart brand acne pads and use them once in teh mornin and once at night.
and if u use makeup then just go neutral colors it looks soo much better then dark eyeliner etc. i know becuz 2 yrs ago i used to dress like that and i was miserable but when i realized one day that i shouldnt be self concious i just started doing my own thing and i got a lot more compliments from guys. !!
as far as bullies- show them that u arent gonna take it. just act indiffernt they are only doing it to annoy u so show them it doesnt and they will get bored. im in high school now and middle school was awesome enjoy every minute ofit!!!!
unlimited good luck to u!!!
luv ya girl!!!!!!
