That is the average middle schooler’s goals. It is also mine. I want to look really good and have guys drooling over me. (Even though they already stare at me enough) My hair seems to hate me. It ALWAYS gets frizzy, and I want it STICK STRAIGHT! And being skinny is a good thing too, in Middle School. No one wants to be fat, or even be chubby. They want to look good, have GREAT hair, and be skinny. Again, that’s our major goals!
Middle School Goal: Look Good, Have Good Hair, And Be Super Skinny
November 22, 2007 by supermousey
Oh, Supermousy. Repeat after me: my looks are not the whole of who I am. I understand how you feel, but I’d say you don’t ultimately want the guys who will only “drool” if you’re “super skinny.” Because they’re superficial and dumb.
My hair is not stick straight, and most days I get along okay =)
Yeah, Mychal, but don’t you use a straightener?
Straight hair isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, honestly. Neither is being skinny, for that matter. You’re a lovely girl, and you’ve got a wonderful bone structure – it’s unlikely you’ll turn into a stick as a kid even if you starve yourself, but once you get your growth spurt, everything will be where it’s supposed to be and you’ll be gorgeous. Trust me on that one. 🙂
That said, you can deal with the frizzies without resorting to a straightener or anything drastic. (Though a flatiron can be useful, if you have someone to help you with it.) Frizz Ease is a good brand, if an expensive one. An inexpensive silicon shine gel or frizz smoother will keep down flyaways and bring out the tone your hair naturally has. If you get a good brand, it won’t feel bad on your hair either, though you will need to wash it more than usual. Alternately, you could try using mousse or gel. Those things are complex, though, and with all your hair, you’d wind up needing a lot of it until you found something you were comfortable with. And, of course, you’d have to ask your parents, and find the money to keep paying for them.
Part of the reason your hair gets frizzy is because of its length. You have enough hair that it’s going to get caught on a lot of stuff… your clothes, your backpack, the walls. There’s a lot of static charge on those things, and they make their way into your hair and cause it to frizz up. The products I talked about help keep that to a minimum. Some other things you can do are braid it or keep it up (check with your parents first – I know mine had all sorts of rules about how I could wear my hair when I was younger), so it’s not catching on things all the time. It won’t help keep it straight, obviously, but it will definitely keep it from being frizzy. (That’s how my boyfriend manages his hair, remember?)
Some other things to keep in mind are remembering to keep your hair conditioned, and not to wash it too often. I know that your hair type is pretty different than mine, and that commercials and other kids will make it seem like you need to wash your hair all the time… but that’s not true. You need to wash your hair when you get something in it (mud, burrs, hair goop, whatever), and about two or three times a week at maximum to deal with normal buildup and dust and things like this. Freshly washed hair gets frizzy as soon as it dries, and stays that way until it balances out. Remember that it’s a system, just like the rest of your body… it needs a certain amount of oil and other things to be truly healthy.
Another part of caring for your hair involves watching what you do with it at night. If you can braid it back and get someone to wrap your hair with a bandana (or better yet, an old pair of stockings or a ‘do rag) before you go to sleep, you’ll have smoother, less frizzy hair to deal with in the morning.
You’ll notice that all of this stuff takes a lot of time, and usually a bit of money. It’s a good thing to try out to see how you feel about it, but not anything to get obsessed about. You’re already pretty and smart and active… having extra shiny hair or dropping a few pounds is just icing on the cake of awesomeness you are.
And deal with stupid teachers. Don’t forget that.
i am super skinny and i like it and so does every one eles
im a size zero and im also a sophmore
Um im not being rude but like supermosey said people might be alittle mor eon the chubby side so please dont brag…!
Whatever Renee….nice try, I already think I’m a little on the chubby side and you help a lot
Magniloquence,
Thank you. I will talk to mom and Dad about the products. They don’t care how I put it up, as long as it isn’t like….an afro or something. LOL. You reminded me of that snake guy…he’s AWESOME! Tell him and the snake I said hi!

well, my advice for your hair would be straighten it, you a conditioner from frutice that is for dry and damaged hair, and put your shampoo in your hair when its dry before you take a shower and then wash it out.
hi im 12 and i dont want to be popular i mean i have alot of friends but i dont want to be the one who everyone talks about and stuff but i still want to look cute and stylish the thing is i have short curly hair and i dont know what to do with it????? HELPPPPP?????????????/
Alyssa, I think that curly hair is super cute, but if you dont like it, mabey you could straighten it with a straightener, or add a clip or a cute, chic headband. I know it sounds simple, but it works.
Hey there, Alyssa. I have really long hair that curls, too. But yours is short.
My mom says that because my hair is so long, that’s the only reason it stays as straight as it is.
Try to grow out your hair. Keep it really clean and healthy. Also, if you don’t like the curls, you can straighten them out. Straighten slowly, and drag a comb through your hair, followed by the straightener.
Also, curly hair looks really cute if you pull it up in a ponytail with a ribbon. 🙂
u guys suck balls and have no life and you guys should hear yourself. You sound like total losers your like oh my hair oh i need to look skinny. Who cares, just be yourself and don’t care what other people say about you. But if you don’t try this i bet your one of those girls who think there so cool and have no life and always count how many calories they had a day and always brag about themselves. Oh also if you want to get skinny..there is this thing people do called EXERCISE!!!!
Listen, I am usually a peace-maker but people care about thier looks and it doesnt make people feel better when you say that kinda stuff to them. If you dont like it, why are you on this website?

i dont get why everyone loves to have stright hair. i have curly and frizzy and puffy hair and i like it. it is hard to control but its nice. stright hair isnt the only style there is.just try to not strighten it somedays. (:
Hey people. I have super oily skin and I dont know how to control it. any tips?
a tip could be to wash your face pretty often. wash after the day and wash in the morning. also your could try to put some makeup lite and fluffy kind and that MAY help
I totally know how you feel. I am overweight too. I hate it. While everyone in my grade is super skinny, here’s fat old me walking down the hall. I know, I know, I shouldn’t be caring about my weight, but think about it, Many people do!! I have low self esteem, i am the tallest in my grade and the fattest. I hate people taking pictures of me. Weirng skinny jeans make my calves look worse, same with aero and abercrombie. I understand 100% because I have the same problemo. Middle school can be tough, but you have to stand tall and believe you are who you are sometimes.
Omg i am the same way. Taller and chubbyer than every1 in my grade. ): How do I go through middle school without being super skinny like all my friends? Tips please.
I totally agree ❤ Tori ❤ !!! I'm overweight and tall and possibly could soon have Diabetes. But I've been exercising everyday and trying to eat better. I was one of the tallest people and the chubbiest girl in 6th grade…… Now I'm more confident and I really don't care what people say anymore!!!!! :)(: 😀
Im so cute in front of other boys and still am. I have other ways and Ideas to be a school hottie.
1- Dress in clothes that match Your tone and Your looks. If its ok, Dont change your outfit add accessories.(Sorry if mispelled)
2- Be your self- show off your styles girls, you just might be another school hottie

Wow, really, who wants to be super skinny today?
No one. Well, maybe in middle school. But in high school it’s all about the body.
Ok, so here’s the thing, I’m in middle school and I think you’re acting a BIT superficial. Sorry, but I agree with you on the hair thing. My hair won’t stay nice unless I straighten it. Try using a flat iron on your hair, it might help. But really the SUPER SKINNY thing sort of bugged me. I think it doesn’t matter what size you are. I think even if you’re a little heavy (I’m not saying you are, I’m talking to the heavier girls) find clothes that flatter your figure. As long as you’re healthy and eat right, you can still be very attractive. What’s better, a super skinny girl that eats junk and barely exercises (because she thinks she doesn’t have to), or a heavier girl that eats right and exercises. I’m not trying to be mean, I’m speaking the truth.
That reminds me, you don’t have to pressure yourself. If you really go for something, before you know it, you’ll acheive it. Right now, I’m going into junior high and I want to loose weight, I’ve never been really activated to do much besides try out for cheerleading. I later found out that it was to much ffor me. Earlier I weighed almost a hundred pounds, now I weigh eighty seven lbs. It’s like a mericle.
One problem, i thought somehow that, looseing weight woul make me alot taller, I was way wrong. I was four foot nine and now im only four foot eleven. If there was a way to grow aller i would take any chance to get that. I am sort of popular and I’m a brunette but resently died my hair blonde but that only made matters worse people sttarted yelling at me for no reson. My true friends stayed by me through heart ache and heart break to. So looks aren’t everything.
okay just because u guys were never popular, never had popular friends, and are still all virgins dose not change the fact the boys simply like sexy girls and skinny girls so do us all a favor and become lesbians and get a damn life!
Really? Get a damn life, I usually am the NICE one, but can you just hear yourselves (Everyone on this page)!!
Skinny, Sexy, guys well nice guys don’t like that! Only bad boys and guys that have no life, that are dumb, stupid, and mean. The don’t know how to treat girls and act all cool. They only want you physically and after they had sex with you, would probably y break it off, and find another girl to have sex with. No one likes this guys, you might have a crush on them, but if he doesn’t treat you right, why matter? If he likes you he will treat you like, guys describe they like a Funny, Talkative, Sweet, and a girl who is herself! That what makes a girl sexy!To be herself! Not turning into a prostitute! dboi, I’m sure you have no idea what you are talking about!
what else would girls want from a guy all we really want is to get them in bed
U r plain mean. ur a lesbian. i see lots o popular girl that r obise. so u get a life!!
hey pepolzzzz i have super oily skin but i also have amazingly dry skin and everything makes my face dry out and it is really difficult to deal with and help????????
and u know wat stop worrying about how u look. everyone is beautiful in everyway and everyone just needs to realize that… im a little on the chubby side too but i dont care im 11 in 6th grade .ive gott alot of guyz that like me and alot of people really dont care how u look so just except urself the way u look……………….seriously
I have stick straight hair its naturally a light/ dark brown but i dyed it red about a month ago, and it realy short, And im not the greatest looking person in the world. I dont have to worry about about my weight because i stay skinny no matter how muchi eat, but my face is ugly, to me anyways, i have freckles and if i am called ugly one more time i m goin gto lose it. does anyone have any ideas?
If you want to stay skinny here’s what i do, I am 12 and a size 0 but i used to be size 7 im also 5″7 so what i do is i run 6(i usualy go for 7 minute miles) miles 3 times a week i also go to Curves, a gym for women only that has a 30 minute workout and burns about 500 calories also you have to watch you caloric intake per day imake sure i never eat more than 1500 calories a day.
Well I run 5 miles a week, belly dance, in the 7th grade 13 and double zeros barely fit me. I have severe asthma witch means I shouldn’t run a lot. But I push myself. I have abbs. I get called short every day… but I don’t take tht. I will tell them knock it off. I am loved by many peps in my school, I treat every on with respect if they treat me with respect.
Hey I noticed a lot of you are sevies. Well I’m in 8th grade and last year I wore glasses and it made my eyes look small. This summer I got contacts, wear make-up, do my hairnicely, and wear good clothes. Now I realize it really isn’t what you look like. I mean really people I am really nice to my friends and strangers but I look and occasionally act like I’m annoyed since I never smile.
I was reading the comments and I do think the same thing for some of them but mostly I think that nobodies perfect and we all have our own insecurities and things we don’t like about ourselves, so c’mon people just realize that nobody is happy with their body. I for one is very insecure and am always feeling out of place but that doesn’t mean that I just sit around feeling bad for my self,I go out and try to do the right thing and fix it. For the overweight problem you can try eating healthier and excersising. But for the clothes and hair I think that curly hair is gorgeous and has a lot of personality to it. Clothing is just something to show off off your body. Remember everyone is beautiful in their own special way so don’t change to impress people.

dont try to change who you are too much or people will think that you are someone your not. Accept your self for who you are. if you want to look pretty here are some tips : apply light natural colored makeup if your allowed not heavy dark bold colors remember you want to stay and look natural. next drink at least two water bottles a day it will help you stay nice and hydrated and it will also help keep your breath fresh not stinky. Always have a positive attitude, try new things be different and bold ( try not to be like everyone else). wash your hair at least two times every other day that will help keep oils and dirt from ruining your hair. wash your face at least two times a day so you wont have dirt and oil blocking your pores in your skin and always remember to moisturize your skin afterwards. try wearing something new and different everyday dont wear the same outfit everyday. accessorizewith a necklace and a pretty bracelet ( dont over do it ). this advice and tips will help you get through a wonderful year in middleschool. : )
WTF was that this has nothing t
Well, try puttIng a little make-up from time to time. If you have long hair try putting it up in a nice neat ponytail and leave a piece out for a kick. Try to wear nice clean clothes. Light lacy things are cute. With a pair of nice fitting jeans. Some trendy places are Hollister, Abercrombie, etc. try to see things that look good on you! Plus, believe you are pretty. You have to love you first.
Ok I’m not fat but I’m stating to and I love my body I really do I am trying to loose a coup,e pou ds I’m in love with this guy but he doesn’t pay any attention to me cause all I wear is like t shirts and jeans I want to wear some cute stuff I do but I can’t cause I have a dress code at my school and we have to wear a belt and crap and when I wear one I look sumo fat sorry if this insults but I was just wondering does anyone have anything that I can do to at least get the guy Tht I likes attention???
i used to be a little chubier than the other kids in like 1st grade and wierdly enough i proboly grew 6 inches in the past year and became the skiniest kid in the grade. im a 6th grader and im 5′ 4” at 95 pounds. sometimes you dont need to do anything.
Ok so im 12 and lets face it i`m actually fat or chubby. i get teased all the time and i cry almost everday when i get home! I try everything to loose weight. I know for a fact that no boy will ever like me 😦 I feel like a loser and all of my friends are super thin and i feel like my “closest friends” dont even like me because im fat. I mean I dont wanna kill myself or anything, i just need advice about being overweight when your my age 😦
Haha its okay just be yourself and try to work out during the summer like me:) i go about everyother week and im 13 ans i weigh 95 pounds !
being skinney dosnt matter if you r bigger people will still luv u like u whtever
Hey guys, I am a little overwieght but there is a lot of people who are bigger than me in my school like some of my friends are a little obese like my best friend and my ex boyfriend. I don’t get it I play a bunch of sports but I am still overweight. I am also a lot taller than most people and I have very low self esteem but I don’t call myself hot or pretty but just maybe cute. I really want to be paid attention by some of the boys but I am pretty popular but my school is small. I need ADVICE PLEASE!
Being popular isnt all about looks you have to have the confidence and you need to seem happy and pretty all the time you don’t Ned to be drop dead gorgeous you need to be full of personality if sports aren’t working check your diet but you don’t need to be super skinny but I mean don’t have such low self esteem that you just give up dont give up keep trying!!!!!! Plus you have a beautiful name and embrace your height!!!!!!! I’m short and look like a kid that sucks but I find a way to laugh about it. I really hope this helps!
