An Open Letter to the Girl Who Thinks She's Not Enough

In the days that we've lived, and those that we have yet to live, there will always be moments when you feel crushed and destroyed, discouraged and afraid. You feel it now, as if the world has somehow collapsed on you, and you're at that point where you feel it would just be easier to lay down on the ground and stay there. You say to yourself, "What purpose is there to lift myself up? What worth do I have to make other people appreciate me? What reason is there for me to even try?" Nothing, not even yourself, seems enough to put you back to reality anymore. You feel like an outlier, you feel like you don't belong.

From Our Readers: To The Guy Best Friend I Unexpectedly Fell For

We were best friends since high school. I'm an average girl and you're this average guy. We did almost everything together but it never crossed my mind that I'd fall for you.

I knew every girl you liked. I even became friends with them because we were always hanging out and you'd always bring them. They made you happy and I was happy for you.

5 Things You Missed Today (November 3)

When Ariana Grande told Tom Felton over Twitter that she wants him in her music video, she wasn't kidding. The exchange happened when Tom replied to Ari's tweet about "Focus" where she was sporting platinum locks. But we thought they weren't really serious. But seems like Ari was because in an interview, she said, "He tweeted, he was like, 'If you ever need anyone in your music video.' I was like, 'I don't know what the next single is, but we're gonna find it, and we're gonna make sure you're here.'"" Looking forward to this one, Ari! (via http:/...

10 Things You Should Never Say to a Girl with Acne

Getting acne is the worst. It could make us feel self-conscious and insecure, and to everyone who thinks it's just because of what it looks like, news flash: it's not the most comfortable thing to have either. Plus, if the whole acne situation isn't bad enough, having to deal with what others have to say about it, well, sucks. Here's a rundown of sentences we're so tired of hearing every time we've got the pimple party.

Some of the Things We'll Miss About One Direction

After five years, the remaining boys of One Direction are taking a break. We don't really know how to feel exactly about this. We're happy for them because they've been working nonstop since their exit from X Factor, but we're also sad because we don't know until when we'll be waiting for their return. What are we going to do during that time, right?

From Our Readers: To the One Who Doesn't Realize They're The One

In my life, I've fallen in love two times. I told you about one. I told you how I would wait for him to call or text at night. I would think about him literally every minute and hope he thought of me, too. He moved so time differences were huge. And as I talked to him, I started to talk to you.

You made me laugh when he made me cry. And my smile when I wanted to die. You were already taken and only cared when I was alone.

Justin Bieber's New Single Is Here

Justin Bieber is really back. After giving us LSS-inducing hits like "Where Are Ü Now," "What Do You Mean," and "Sorry," The Biebs worked with Skrillex again to give us "I'll Show You." The track is also a part of his upcoming album Purpose which is set to drop on November 13.

It's a little mellow compared to his previous singles, but it has the same apologetic tone as "Sorry," which had us thinking, is he talking to his fans and supporters who stood by him through thick and thin? Hmm. Hit the play button to listen to the song yourself and let us know what you think about it in the comments.
