Starting high school?

I'm starting high school and i'm really nervous but i want to fix a few things about me so maybe i will make friends faster. I have this overbite and buck teeth problem i am getting braces but i have to get teeth pulled and i'm getting them pulled during school year. Is there any way i can fix this a bit? Also i have acne and freckles any way to get rid of them with home remedies? I also have this HUGE birthmark/mole thing on my face i'm not sure which one it is but is there any way to get rid of it. I's very big and brown in color. Any advice on making new friends? Everyone says just go p and say hi well i'm sure that they just give sensible advice but if we put them in a room with people they didn't no let's see what they do. Any more tips? I'm starting high school this monday so please give advice fast!

Starting high school?
Acne: Benzoyl Peroxide. Wash face 3x per day. Non-Cosmodogenic foundation to cover acne %26amp; tone down freckles. One with sunscreen will keep new freckles away, too.





Nothing you can do about teeth - wait for braces.





If the birthmark really troubles you, speak to your parents about cosmetic surgery. My guess, however, is that it's not as bad as you imagine!





Be assertive when you say "Hi", not a timid hello. Smile often.





Enjoy your first year!!!
Reply:umm ya people arnt gonna like u if you keep trying to fix yourself and nobody wants to read that bid thing
Reply:heyyyyy suck it up really dont worry about it
Reply:while you could try to use a acne cream or rinse to get rid of hte acne, then when you pull the teeth that might help take away form the buck teeth look. i know this sounds weird but you cuold wear a thong every once in a while and teh guys might not even notice the buck teeth. hope i was helpful!?
Reply:I don't think you can fix your teeth by monday but you can start by washing your face every night and you can apply concealer or foundation on your birthmark.
Reply:The "be yourself" thing applies here.





Your trying WAY too hard to fit in. Let people fit into YOU
Reply:just b yourself and everything will be okay
Reply:OK so i read through it and all you have to do is be yourself that's exactly Wat i thought when i was starting school but it was a mistake just be yourself they aren't gonna judge u becuz they all should know by now that looks are deceiving
Reply:Honestly just be yourself, if your confident you will make friends easy. Try drinking 8 glasses of water a day for your skin and if you can, go to a makeup place and get them to teach you to use suttle makeup to cover your acne.
Reply:Since you can't change your teeth, acne, and freckles by Monday, you're going to have to pretend that you don't notice them. Smile and laugh just as you will when your teeth are straight. People will enjoy your personality and look right past your flaws.


Birthmarks can be tricky to remove. This needs to be evaluated by a dermatologist. Will your mom take you?


Try to find one or two people you know and then introduce yourselves to their friends. After you learn your way around school, talk to your counselor about being a mentor to new students enrolling. Good luck!
Reply:you shouldn't be trying to fix yourself for people that you haven't even met yet.
Reply:hey i know this whole starting high school thing can be "nerve raking", but remember people will love you for you personality not you looks. yeah looks can matter, but just be your self, its been my 2nd year in high school and its been amazing! :) good luck on your fist day!





Peace.

Reply:Whoa whoa whoa.....CALM DOWN....I just started HS also! kids are way different then Middle school. Not as much name calling which I think you probably got in middle school. I did to now nobody cares people are making new friends and are doing different things along with becoming more mature. So just take a deep breath. Find a good group of friends and be yourself. Dont worry about what you look like that much you are who you are everyones different. So go with the flow check it out you will be fine!
Reply:well, i'm also starting high school (in exactly 5 days) and i have a LOT of teeth problems. in fact, i've had 12 teeth pulled! and i stil haven't gotten my wisdom teeth, which will add up to 16 teeth! that lead to a slight lisp for a little while which i fixed by just altering the words i say most commonly. as for friends, just bring something up to someone who sits next to you in class. as for the skin though, i have no idea. hope i helped!
Reply:dont worry about it so much! people will like you the way you are, seriously. high school is no big deal. im a sophomore and honestly, everyone just does their own thing in high school, no one cares about the middle school drama and no one cares if youre popular or not. dont try to change yourself so much because it wont attract anyone. btw, it is said that attractive/cute/hot people have moles...and DO NOT remove that on your own or attempt to because it can get painfully infected and you can get a viral mole disease which can lead to several types of cancer. wash your face to get rid of the acne and use differin or proactiv or benzaclin or something, tea tree oil also works but there is no "home remedy". just keep your face clean. and why on EARTH would you want to remove your freckles? girl, be happy with yourself. theres no way to remove freckles unless you get a painful and expensive skin surgery which will in turn lead you to looking like michael jackson!!! just calm down and be confident, THATS what people find attractive and want in a friend!!! the buck teeth will be fixed with the braces. you cant FIX your buck teeth on your own. please just calm down and i wish you luck in school! you will do fine i promise, and youll make tons of friends. just dont try too hard. ;-)
Reply:you'll grow out of all that stuff...but for now dont worry about it that much, high school sucks for a lot of people, just work hard to finish and get it over with.
Reply:I know you're anxious, but you'll be fine: Just be yourself. Most of the other freshmen are just as nervous as you. We moved twice when I was in high school. It really sucked having to always make new friends. I met a lot of friends thru band, drama, and the student newspaper. Use tea tree oil for your acne and don't worry about the freckles. (A lot of guys think freckles are cute.) Hope this helps!
Reply:Regarding your overbite - contact your Dentist or Orthodontist to see if there's a way to conceal your overbite until you have the problem corrected.





Regarding acne - mud masks work really well:

For freckles, birthmarks, and moles - you'll have to see a Dermatologist so they can help to fade the freckles and remove the birthmark/moles.

If my answers to lame( which you probably think so) here are some suggestions to make yourself feel better about you...








1. Teeth are a little hard to fix yourself so you really have no choice there unless you unsist to keep your mouth shut all day.. ( thats just nonsense!!)





2. I love freckles i have them myself and they take away from the idea of anyone calling you terrible names for girls. One tip i would use though is freckles do get darker in the sun so if your tanning or whatever keep a close eye. soon theyll be freckles everywhere!





3. Acne is something i am lucky to never go through but many of my friend have and it can be caused by having an "oily" face. Oil from your hair can also make acne worse so if you have bangs trying to hide acne its not making it any better. Also when looking for face claeners make sure they are special for oily skin. No matter what your skin will improve.





4. For a birth mark mole there is minor surgery or makeup your choice.





5. When trying to make friends i wouldn't just walk up to random people because they will find you very wierd. Just start making small talk with people you sit next to in class. Make a joke about the teach or complain about homework. Then work your way from there





It's not as bad as everyone thinks there is no need to worry and problems you say you have are things everyone goes through.
Reply:Well a lot of people have braces, its no big deal anymore so I wouldnt worry too much about that =] When I had braces I would stand in the mirror and find a "nice smile" that I liked with my new brace-filled mouth. And some people look good with braces anyway (also, I had 4 teeth pulled...eat ice cream after theyre pulled. It helps lol)





For the acne just wash with warm water with a mild soap 2 times a day, one at morning and one at night. sometimes I use St Ives Apricot scrub but I use Clean %26amp; Clear facial scrub everyday becaue its gentle but till does the job and keeps my skin clear. You dont want anything that will dry your face out and Ive found those help me a lot. Oh but if your skin is too sensitive and starts peeling or turns red, only wash on time with a product at night and just rinse your face with water and a cotton pad or soft wash cloth in the mornings. Also, rinse with cold water after washing with warm water. the warm water opens the pores up to clean out the dirt and oil, and the cold will close them, making your skin appear smoother. If you have acne scars, you should get some cocoa butter and apply it like 2 times a day on the scars. Cocoa butter is AMAZING, trust me. And dont wory about your freckles, a lot of girls wish they had them, theyre gorgeous! =]





Im not sure about the birthmark/mole. Maybe ask your mom and doctor about getting the mole removed (my mom got her mole removed with a laser, it only takes one day, and you can resume regular activites the next day. It leaves a small indent in the skin but hers went away over time)





to make new friends, take advantage of the teachers put the whole class in alphabetical order in their seats. I meet the most people like that. small sentences here and there about the class or teacher are easy ways to show your personality and get them to open up and make you more comfortable





hope I helped, and good luck! =]
