| I worked with small kids, and I completely understand your trepidation! Just try to keep your hair up if it's long, and try to avoid physical contact with kids that seem to be itching their heads more than usual. It's nothing to be too nervous about, though. :) As for head lice liking pretty girl he... |

| Bangs sound like a good idea to me, I think they look so pretty and have always wanted some! Sadly my hair is too curly and I'm not interested in straightening it :) ! It really does help if you feel confident in how you look. I know when I feel low self care is the first thing to go, but if I make ... |

| Exercise, a good regular sleep schedule, and healthy meals are all very good suggestions. When my mood gets bad, I tend to skip eating, and everything seems much worse, so be sure you are eating regular meals if you have that problem, even if you don't think you are hungry. In the same way, I find s... |

| I come from California, and nearly everyone younger than 35 speaks that way here. Nearly every single conversation I hear at my college is peppered with likes and OMGs, and all delivered with a very silly airhead voice. The "likes" have always driven me crazy but the ditzy voice is over the top! I h... |

| I sure am. Before my period I always have weird behavioral changes. Sometimes I become even more withdrawn than usual, horribly depressed, and have a very hard time with trying to make eye contact or small talk. Other times I become rather brassy and moody compared to my normal state. Like some othe... |

| Good for you for going out and doing that, I know how scary it can be! I used to take the bus. I found it nerve racking at first, but I actually kind of liked it after I got used to taking it everyday. Luckily it never got very crowded, public transport isn't too popular here. There were lots of ot... |

| CharlotteEstevez, I think that is a good idea. I know the longer I stay in my house the harder it is to leave it. Probably just going to the store or other public things when opportunities arise would be good for crowd desensitization. That's exactly what I try to do! :) Even though it's pretty dam... |

| Thanks for all the responses! kraftiekortie, my trouble is finding people who want to socialize with me. I don't think I come across as very friendly, some days I am pretty good at making small talk with classmates, and others I can't even look at them for some reason. KTLLo, I usually do fairly wel... |

| It's helpful to know I'm not the only one :) ! I usually hole up in the library between classes, the bright side of being unsociable is you can get a lot of studying done. I feel afraid of people, too. In my case, I notice that the less I go out, the more "feral" I become and the longer it takes me ... |

| When I go to college, I feel like I shut down. When it isn't involved with a required class assignment, I don't want to look at anyone or talk to anyone, I just focus on getting an education. I get good grades, but I find being there extremely overwhelming and generally feel very anxious and ill at ... |

| Maybe a good place to start would be to replace the flip flops with some nice sandals. If you tend to buy neutral t shirts (I know I do), you could look for ones with interesting patterns, colors, or embellishments. If you do some online window shopping, as it were, you could save pictures of things... |

| I wouldn't say I've ever had an eating disorder but I feel as though I've come close in the past. I went through a stage where I felt very uncomfortable eating in front of people and tried to avoid it as much as possible and skipped meals. I felt like this a lot in high school, and sometimes I stil... |
