I have tons of clothes but i only wear a couple of them cause i dont like som e of them others i dont wear because i have worn them many times before. I can tell that my friends are getting tired of me wearing the same clothes over and over. I want to get cool clothes but im on a budget. Wear can I go to get dressy clothes and casual clothes at the same store that arent expensive?

ok soooo at my school none of the girls get along i hav three best friends and nothing can ever come between us, but lately the "popular" girls are making fun of us and my friends are becoming friends with them just so they won't get made fun of. I would do the same thing but I don't really like any of the girls in that group and I'm afraid I wouldn't fit in with them. HELP!!




Hey girl! Good for you for sticking to your beliefs. Try talking to your friends and tell them you dont think it's right for them to change who they are just so the popular girls stop picking on them. The popular girls are just doing it because they are bored and have low self-esteem, so be better than them and stick together and ignore their hurtful words. They don't mean anything anyway.

MOD MOD MOD MOD! I'm in grade 7 and I really like this boy Smile He's nice and sweet and cute and I think he kinda likes me too! we chat whenever he's online but we've never texted or called each other.. but the problem is that he's dating one of my BFFS! And apparently he's 'in love' with her, but i say it like that because whenever someone mentions it he just laughs or mumbles, and another sad fact is that I can't date because of my religion! what should i do? Frown

 

Hey girl! Looks like there's not too much you can do about this boy, unfortunately. He's already got a gf! Try waiting it out and see what happens. Look around for potential boys that you can date!

ATTENTION TO ALL GIRLS WITH A CRUSH!!!! Do u fell like ur hearts going to burst when he smiles? Do save his texts so that u can read them again and again? Are ur friends tired of hearing about him because you talk about him so much? We need to help each other out! Its hard to talk to guys especially when you think ur all alone! I had an idea. For twilighters this is well known, but new moon comes out this Friday. I think this is a great opportunity for girls to help eachother. Every girl reading this should ask their crush to the movies this Friday. U can ask knowing that other girls are swallowing their fear and doing the same thing. U can ask them to go as a friend, with a group of friends, or, if ur brave, as a date. As proposer of this idea, i asked my crush out today. I was terrified he'd reject me but HE SAID YES!! I want to help other girls get the same reply, so I am opening my profile to questions about guys(which i will try to answer at the best of my ability), support(because just thinking about asking him is brave), or comments about my idea(good and bad). If u do ask him, tell me!!! I want to hear stories about how you asked and what their reply was. If u like my idea, great, thank you for reading this huge letter, but if you dont please dont leave rude comments on my profile. i will accept constructive criticism but i have feelings too. Anyway, if you're planning on asking him, im rooting for you. Thank you for reading! <3

I'm having a casual "holiday party" but i want to wear something that says "hostess!" not just bland "person directing party". Any suggestions for clothing, make up and hair? Help would be fantastic!! thank youu!!! (:
p.s. if it helps, i have light blonde shoulder length hair, and dark green eyes.

 

Hey girl! If you want, you could dress up a little bit since you are
going to be hosting the party. You could wear a cute skirt and shirt.
You could either wear your makeup so that its natural or dress it up so
that its holiday themed. You could wear your hair down and put part of
it up.

ok, so I started talking to this guy from my school alot recently. I have come to like him, he is really great to talk to, but only as a friend. Unfortunatley, he like likes me. He himself has told me this and he has called me awesome, nice, beautiful, he stares at me everyday in the hall and he messages me every day on facebook. I would like the attention if I liked him that way, but I don't so it is just akward when he says it, especially because all I can reply with is thank you. How should I talk to him and treat so that I'm not leading him on but are remaining friends with him?




Hey babe,




Tell him gently that although you are flattered you just want to be friends. Emphasis how much he means to you and how much you wouldn't want anything to come between you and your friendship. Tell him that his comments are really sweet and that you know he cares about you, but ask him to tone things down a bit.

my dream college is marymount Manhattan college but i head that its not a good college and that its not a good choice to attend there and iv heard this from a lot of differant places should i work towards a diff college?




Hey girl! If that's the college you want to go to, then definitely don't let what other people say influence you. Do what will be best for you. Check it out. Plan a trip. Sit in on classes. Walk around campus. Talk to students there. This will all help you get a feel for the college and help you decide if you could see yourself going there. If not, then check out other schools and do the same thing.

MOD MOD MOD (Beware it's long) I have a problem with home schooling. I hate it with a passion as sharp as a blood rusty nail. It’s not much of the schooling part I mind, it’s my mother and my lack of a social life that I'm not exactly "estatic" about. I can go days without seeing anyone else besides my family and I get all bipolar and lock myself in my bedroom or spend hours on the computer to occupy myself. Church is a no because my parents aren't religious anymore. Sports and Hobbies are a definite no because my mom just gave birth to premature twins and financial crap. Neighborhood is definetely a no because I'm not even allowed to go in the front yard without my parents or else I'm going to get "child-abducted" It's angry and depressing and on top of that unfair because both of my two older brothers are in highschool. My mom says I can't go because I'm too young and I'm disrespectful. I have no idea what to do. Please, I need serious help with this.. Thankss

 

Hey girl! You should sit your 'rents down and tell them how you feel. Explain to them that you need a little social time with kids your own age. Look up some classes at the local rec center that you are interested in taking. They will be cheap and filled with kids  your age. You might be able to come to a compromise with them!

I talked to her about it before. And after i talked to her she acted like she was "Forcing" herself to talk to me and if she did it was just a couple of minutes. Now she is doing it again! What should I do? Talk to her again? What should I say? Thanks!

*MOD* ok so there's this guy that I like. Last year I just thought he was hot but now I actually like him. So starting this school year we started talking a lot because I sit next to him in a class. It seemed like he liked me because he always talked to me and stuff. Then last weeek me, and my two frends started hanging out with him and his best friend. We've hung out with them like 4 times in the last week or so. Whenever we hang out we just watch movies and my crush always sits next to me or like lays on top of me haha i know he thinks I'm pretty and "mad cool" but now I'm bot sure of he likes me because my friend asked him when I wasn't there if he liked me( I didn't tell her to do it) and he was like well I don't really know her. But my other friend said he got like really embarressed. It seems like he likes me but then I was thinking that I wouldn't be like yeah! If his friends asked if I like him. So maybe she caught him offgaurd. I'm pretty sure he knows I like him tho.Do you think he likes me? Thanks for your help!

 

Hey girl! He might, but you'll have to find out straight from him. Everyone else's stories can get pretty confusing! Try talking to him more and getting to know him better and then see where that leads you!

How can I make $500 by then? Also, I have to fundraise for this trip, what are good ideas that can make quite a lot of money each time? Thanks!

 

Hey girl! Try holding a few bake sales or doing some extra yard work for your 'rents! If you're careful with your cash, you could save up a good chunk by then! Remember, the holidays are a great time to just ask for a few bucks instead of the tradish gifts!
