those dresses are uber cute but I'm twelve and really tiny for my age so i won't be able to buy/fit into those but i do have a really cute black and gray sweater dress already. I have cute fold over combat boots to go with but I'm stumped with the other acssecories. Any ideas?

Lately it feels like my entire world is falling apart. So many things have gone wrong in the past week. (Ex: my best friend won't back off of the guy that I've liked for 3 years & I think he likes her :/...but this is the least of my worries right now). Since my best friend and I are kind of "fighting" I feel like I have no one to talk to. Do you have any ideas on how to cheer myself up? I'd really appreciate it (; Thank you<3 

Hey chica, sounds like you're in a bit of a funk.  Check out this great article for some fun, mood-boosting activities.  To help sort out the BFF sitch, try talking with an adult you trust.  In the meantime, put on some happy tunes and rock out.  We hope you'll be smiling in no time.

Help i'm having a fashion crisis! I have been wearing the same outfits over again though i don't have very many long sleeve shirts. I have like four and i can't go shopping for a long while i've already asked! How can i work with what i have without outfit repeating so much..i know you can just use accessories and what not but i also live somewhere that is really cold! and i just need some outfit help i keep outfit repeating and it's just annoying plus i wanna look cute for my boyfriend and so please help! Smile

 

Hey girlie, mix it up! Try new pants with new tops. You can wear a short sleeve shirt with a sweater or over a long sleeve shirt. Layering is a great way to mix up your outfits and make the same clothes look different. If you can't go shopping for new clothes, ask your parents if you could go to a thrift store. You'll find clothes that are pretty good used condition for much less money than new clothes.

I have a question..my crush and his gf (who m friends with) just broke up a few days ago.. How long do you think i should wait to let him not be sad about his break-up before trying to flirt and get him to notice me. (also my friend doesnt mind at all, she wanted to end it with him and is already in a new relationship but he doesnt know) thanks so much <3

 

Hey girlie, feel it out. See how upset he seems and try to sense when he feels like he's over her. When he seems fine then go for it!

hey so awhile ago i remember reading an article about
what guys wish girls knew or something. where would i find that article?

 

Hey girlie, I did a little searching around for you, but I'm not entirely sure the article you're looking for. Try using the search function or checking further back in the GUYS section to see if you can find what you're looking for.

Moderator!
My mother renewed my GL subscription LAST YEAR, and when she did it it never even had to be renewed; Now, it's December, and this whole year I have not received any copies after she RENEWED a subscription that didn't even need renewing. What is going on? This is a hoax because I wasted my Christmas gift last year for this subscription. I could've gotten something better because I never got ANY magazines this whole year. What do I do? If you guys decide to do something, please give me my year and 6 months worth of magazines that we payed for. Thanks.

 

Hey girlie, you'll need to get in touch with the subscription department. Visit this page where you can learn how to check the status of your subscription https://secure.girlslife.com/Contact.aspx and you can call the subscription department at 1-410-426-9600 x132 or e-mail subscriptions@girlslife.com.

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
