I'm a plus sized girl, and I'm fine with that but finding clothes is hard for me. I was wondering if anybody could tell me some cool sites or stores, besides Torrid or Lane Bryant, that sell plus sized clothes. I have no price preferance.
A store called DEB
Okay, so I have the boyfriend, he's not the best. & I want to break up with him. Another reason why it because it's almost summer, I want to be free for summer, and maybe date some other people.
The only problem is, HOW? I mean, I'm not the type that does it herself, right in front of everyone in the hallway. But I also don't want to be the one that has to ask her friend to tell him for me. I don't think I can do it in 3 days before school ends, So it's going to have to be over the phone.
I just do want to break him down emotionally. I want to let him down easy, but either way he might be in tears. I don't want to make him sad, but I know that I have to break up with him. It's going to be so awkward. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
First, don't do it over the phone or at school. Call him and ask him if he can meet you at your house, or somewhere else to talk. Start a casual conversation, and if he doesn't ask "what did you want to talk about" then bring it up, try, "So, I wanted to talk to you about someting...okay i don't know how to put this.. but i want to break up." The sooner you get it out in the open the better, try not to beat around the bush about it.!. If he asks questions, it might be better to just be honest with him and say it wasn't working out and it didn't make you happy.
im 14 and i wear a some makeup. just like a thin line of black eyeliner, soft eyeshadow colors, and black mascara. yeah, nothing out-of-this-world. anyway, i was wondering what you guys think is a good eyeshadow to match light blue eyes and light brown/long hair. oh yeah and a lot of freckles on the cheeks.
i usually do like a light brown or a light gray and i really like those. still, i wanted to try something new but i didnt want it to be like 'whoa, too much'
pink usually doesnt work for me. idk it just doesnt work with likee, the texture of my eyes.
ok thanks.
I have blue eyes/brown hair too and I also use brown eyeshadow, black mascara, and black eyeliner. For colors you could try; pink, purple, mayyybe green, darker brown, or maybe you could try a more dramatic mascara. I do know that you should stay away from blue makeup. It competes with your eyes, another color *like brown* brings them out!

Well I'm going swimming tomorrow. Today I had my period for the first time and I tried a tampon. It was really hard to get out. I tried pulling it out in different directions and I tried like half a box of tampons and I'm pretty sure it's in correctly. The string almost broke when i tried to pull it out it hurts. My parents wont let me get in the water without a tampon and i cant sneak in without one because they check to make sure im not lying. Oh and ive tried the lowest absorbensy and lubricant stuff still doesnt help. Please help!
This might sound gross, but you have to wait to pull the tampon out bc it has to be "wet" so that it will slide out easier. Put one in, wait a few hours-depending on flow-and it wil come out soOOo much easier. Pulling a dry one out hurts like a bitch! Your parents are right, don't go in a pool without one because that is just a Seventeen most embarrasing moment article waiting to happen! Good luck!

Go there!
Hey, Im not planning on doing this but im just wondering. What would make you loose more weight faster .. Only eating lets say a bag of chips and a drink for lunch .. then for dinner just toast .. by the way no breakfast .. or just eating regularly. So basically my question is will eating less cause you to gain more weight or stay the same. A friend of mine is going through this and I would like to know.
That actually sounds like the worst diet plan that I've heard- besides just not eating. Eat a bowl of fruit/cheerios in the morning, sandwich,water and carrots for lunch, and for dinner just whatever but just watch it. Eat a lot of veggies and fruits! Cut back on bread but still eat carbs because that's what gives you ENERGY! WOOO!

ok well i was dateing this guy and he ended up joining the army and he told me he loved me and would never ever forget about me well last christmas he came down to see me and he gave me his cell # so i called him a few days ago because i had not talked to him for like 2 weeks and he did not answer so i text him and he text me back and said who is this so i said it was me and he said oh u dose that mean he dose not like me any more because i think i love him and i know he loves or loved me because befor he left he gave me a ring and told me when we get back we would get marryed but now he wont even talk to me what should i do i mean ever since we have not talked i feel like i lost a part of me what should i do
No it doesn't mean he doesn't like you-for sure. He's in the Army, my brother is at the Naval Academy and doesn't have a lot of time for phone calls etc, and I imagine the Army is about the same thing. I would talk to him before you cut him out of your life. You can't be sure you know what he's thinking, you don't want to break something that could be great just because of a possible misunderstanding.
Hey what are some good british/european (english) band?!?! i like franz ferdinand, are there some good ones you could recomend?
Aqualung and Oasis are Amazing. Especially Oasis.
I'm doing an art project on time structures and for a section of it I'm going to be taking action sequences on my camera. That's like a photo every hafl second or something to capture movement.
I need suggestions of what actions I could take the photos of - ideas I already have include someone dancing, a fight, a skate stunt, someone jumping off a wall.
All good suggestions appreciated!
If you're a girl: someone blowing a big dramatic kiss
boy&girl: squirting water into your mouth like those gatorade comercials, a dog running to catch a frisbee, just a frisbee flying, shooting a basketball into a hoop-but missing...
uHHh that's all I can think of!

You have to tell him you don't want to run away, not yet anyways. Call him and tell him you guys need to talk, and meet him somewhere where you guys can talk and not worry about your parents listening. If he gets mad and doesn't understand, maybe he isn't right for you. He should want the best for you-just like YOU want the best for HIM. If there's more to it, just ask!

I have a bf and we've been going out for 3 months, but i've kept this hidden from my parents the entire time, i'm 13 mind u, and my mom wont let me have a bf she says its already enough that i've had my first kiss and she found me downstairs cuddling with a guy, with my head on his lap sleeping, i really dont see why i cant have a bf i think she's over reacting bc i know kids my age do way more than kiss or cuddle is she over reacting???? i'll rate high for any suggestions, or anyway to see my boyfriend w/o getting caught thanks
Well she's over reacting because teenagers are having sex like it's no big deal. She doesn't want you to be one of them. So, no, for a 13 year old she is not over reacting...you might want to talk to your mom and tell her that you're not going to be "one of those teens", then earn her trust and then I'm sure she'll let you have a boyfriend.
16/f. Well my boyfriend and I have gone out for about 7 months, and we were good friends before that, and we have a wonderful relationship. We started fooling around about a month ago, but we're not going to have sex, at least not for a long time because we're not ready. I discussed this with him and (separately) with my mom, because I told her I'd always tell her if I was becoming more intimate in a relationship, and she was fine with it. Well, the other night my boyfriend dropped me off at my house and we were both extremely tired and we fell asleep on my bed, we didn't do anything at all. And my parents came home and flipped out, called his parents, now he's not allowed to see me for a very long time, etc...
And my mom says she doesn't trust me and she thinks we've been having sex. She fully knows my views on this and both my boyfriend and I are very ambitious academically and would not do anything that might jeopardize our education or futures. But there is mutual trust and understanding in this relationship, and I thought there was between my mom and I, and I'm very confused. Does anyone have any advice?
Sorry this is so long. Thanks.
Well, what you Don't want to do is sneak around to see him because that will just encourage your parent's suspicion. Continue to tell them that You didn't do anything and tell you mom that she should know that you wouldn't. But don't yell, try to sit down with your mom/parents and talk with them. They probably are just nervous and don't want you to do anything. Hope I helped!
Ohk this doesnt have anything to do with job Searches.. but only thing kinda close...
Ohk i work at cvs and we have the photo center well for christmas for my dad i want to get a blanket made for him..
i send my picture to the place and they specially knit the blanket so the picture covers the whole blanket. Its a throw blanket kinda of thing so im guessing pretty descent size. but yea my question is:
would this be a good gift for him, has anyone here tried this or know someone that has had this done, and what is $99.99 - 30% come out to because i don't know how to do percent...?
The picture i plan on using is a picture of him when he made chief in the Navy (just so you guys know)
And also if i could get some answers tonight that would be awesome.. And ill rate you High!
Thanks In Advance
Well I think the blanket idea is cute! But it'd be best if you used a picture of you with him, or of your family. Or maybe just of the Navy Symbol, because *in my opinion* it might be wierd to have people on your blanket- but if you want to then do the family pic ^^!! Oh and it's like 70 dollars. Hope I helped! happy holidays!
My boyfriend and I are constantly getting into debates about everything, especially religion and politics. We usually don't get that worked up, but I'm afraid it's going to do our relationship damage in the long-run. Is debating normal? Or should we avoid doing it in case we start fighting and potentially ruin our relationship? Do other people have experience with this...?
16/f
Well that depends. Do you enjoy your debates? After the debate are you mad at eachother? It might be that debating is just part of something you guys like to do. Otherwise, you just may want to avoid debating. But arguing is normal, in fact not fighting is abnormal.
dose anyone know where i could get a really cute dress for a 13 year old im not like big but im not small so idk where i should get on for a bar mitzah i want a dress thats like 20-40$. i want it to be reallllly cute or pretty or w.e
Try Dillards or Forever 21! I love their dresses!
Alright. Now I don't know how I got into this whole mess, but if you've answered my questions before, you know that I rate fives for any answers. Because I'm cool like that..
Anyways. Alright, I'm dating this guy, and we've been dating for 3 months now. I've also been dating this other guy for 1 month. The 1 month guy knew about the 3 month guy. I was going to try to break up with the 3 month guy, but I couldn't because I really care for him. The 1 month guy and I have wanted to go out for a year and a half, but couldn't until now because of age difference.
Now there is this other guy that likes me. He's all affectionate towards me, but the trouble is, I like it and want to return it. He knows that I have a boyfriend also...
AND if that isn't enough....there is this ABSOLUTLEY wonderful girl named "Katie" who we decided we want to go out. Now she knows about 1 month guy, 3 month guy, and the new guy...
What in the hell should I do..
and don't say "pick one".
I think it's between 1 month guy and the affectionate guy.. but you threw me off at the katie part... Go a month or so seeing those 2 boys before making your choice Try asking the affectionate one on a date or to hang out, so you can pick! Pick on! lol jk, but soon enough you'll have to, it'll be hard but it's only fair on those boy's minds.
Which of these boys should I ask to my winter formal? I go to an all girls school, so for the winter formal, all the girls have to ask the guys. Vote who you think I should ask:
guy 1: Pretty much my best guyfriend. Hang out with often. Am comfortable with. Nice, friendly, social, and a bit geeky. He's a dork. Mama's boy. Boy next door. Not a great dancer. Haha. Currently has a crush on me that I just found out about from my friend.
guy 2: Older than me by two grades. Friendly, but speaks really quietly. Has recently asked me out to see a show with him but I couldn't go. A bit boring to talk to on the phone. Sweet and laid back. Can actually dance. Never hang out with him in person.
guy 3: My personal crush. Asked him to formal last year and got turned down b/c he didn't know me that well. He now knows me better this year. Funniest guy I know. Always makes me laugh. Sweet and friendly and social. A nerd. But still social and outgoing. My friend thinks he has a crush on me because of the attention he gives me when I'm around. But I don't think so. He doesn't really like to dance. Smart. There's another girl who really likes him. I want to choke her. Well. Not really. Okay, yeah I do.
So give me feedback! WHICH ONE?
Go with guy 3! He sounds like a lot of fun! If he's wierd about going as a couple then maybe go with him as friends, it's all about having a good time. And besides, if guy 2 is there you can totally hook up with him. lol jk, no not really bc you might want to.. but whatever!
Hey! Me and my ex boyfriend of 2 years broke up about 1 month ago. And since then I have moved on to sometime else that is wayy better for me. But I feel like something is holding me back from loving him. Could this be because I sill am not over my ex boyfriend? What should I do?? Thanks for the advice
Of course you may have feelings for him, it's normal. You guys went out for 2 years, that's a long time esp. if you're in high school which I'm thinking you might be. In fact, you may never be 100% over your ex, but you do need to move on. Stay with the guy that you have, unless you realize that all you think about is your ex. But then remember why you two broke it off and know that you or him probably haven't changed.
My friend is going to have this totally awsome party this saturday, and she invited me YAY! Anywho today i asked my mom if I could go and she said that she didn't know her parents so probably no! So she wants me to find out like everything about her family and where they live and she wants to call other people that she knows parents to see if they are a "nice family" she is making this a big deal and it's really stupid. I don't know wut to do! SOMEONE PLEAZ HELP ME!
Don't know what to do? just do what your mom asked, it seems reasonable. Call a friend of yours that knows the friend that's having a party and let your parent's talk. It's no big deal, and you'll be able to go to the party.
