advice

ok so my high school is having a junior prom for the first time in a long time. i'm trying to think of ways to get my junior class to go! A good amount of people want to go but then there's the people who don't mostly because they think "nobody" will go. Whats a good idea to get the amount of people who go to homecoming to go to junior prom? we're putting up posters and spreading the word around , but whats a way to get the students siked? oh and does anyone have ideas for easy fundraising? we're thinkiing about t-shirt sales and bake sales but others? thanks!!

if your school has enough money get a band to play. that will be sure to get more people to come. or make make a contest (besides king and queen) that will get people to nominate their friends and want them to show up.

just decorate the school and put up tons of flyers to get people excited :]

but i wouldn't try selling t-shirts, i'm not too sure that a lot of people will by their school t-shirts. you could try bake sales, they always go over good. or you can try selling raffles? get local stores and parents to donate "prize" and then sell tickets for $.50 or $1.

good luck :]

Ok, so I`ve been recently hearing rumors about The Clique Novels [by Lisi Harrison] being created into a movie...

Can anyone PLEASE confirm this??
I do not have an agent because I am not looking into acting as a career, however, i would really like to star in this movie.

And my cousin is a talent scout, if that helps?

i`ll rate 5`s for ANYONE that gives me ANY real answers...

!!
thanks

i don't know for sure, but i hope they do :]

ok..pads just aren't cutting it! i have my panites all ruinded and stuff like that! i don't like big huge pads, they stick out through tight pants so i use little ones that arent working! should i use tampons or deal with big pads??

BOTH! the key is to use them at the right times. but just so you know i made the mistake of just using the thin pads at first, because i didn't realize just how much blood comes out during your period. then i switched to the big pads.

when you first put the big pads on they will be stiff and uncomfortable, but then as you wear it more and sit down more it gets softer and then you can't feel it anymore. but as for tight pants, try just wearing jeans with them. i know that the big pads might not work with tight sweat pants, but i've never had a problem with them with other pants.

and also tampons are amazing! you put them in and then you can't feel them anymore :] and they also will work with tight pants AND swimming! just make sure to not wear them for any more than 8 hours or you could get TSS (toxic shock syndrome).

what i do is i wear a tampon to school, and then change it at lunch and put in a new one. then at night i put on a pad because it is never good to sleep in a tampon.

good luck :] and if you have any more questions just leave one in my inbox!

i have cramps...all the time!! Before...during and after my period...and they are really bad...they hurt and i m sick of them!!! wat do i do

I personally don't get bad cramps during my period, but my sister used to. You can try taking Midol or Pamprin, which is made for girls who get period cramps, but for my sister Advil worked the best. Apparently if you read the active ingredients Advil has more pain killers in it then Midol does.

But if these things don't work for you, talk to your doctor. your best bet might be birth control pills. my sister started using them due to her bad cramps. and now they are gone!

so good luck with everything, and if you have any more questions just leave one in my inbox :]

is there a code for window colors? i want to put a custom color in my profile as the window color, but i dont know how. i see a lot of other people with custom colors as their window color, but i dont really know them so i cant ask. i know the codes for font color and background color, but not window color.

i'd love to help you, but i'm not sure what your asking...do you mean on AIM?

unfortunitly i personally don't know. i only know how to change the window color, not how to make it a custom color. but you could try downloading this:

http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Applesauce/987092859/1

it looks like it might work, and other people say it does.

or you could read this forumn and do what some of them say to do:

http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/aim-add-ons-utilities/31877-how-do-i-get-more-colors-aim.html

i'm sorry again that i don't personally know what to do, but it seems like those two sites will be helpful to you :]

i don't know howto talk about my emotions and thats leading me into depression the social worker at school says that i might be depressed... (i have known her for 3 yrs) but she knows that i would never hurt myself!! i need tips for expressing myself so the worker and i can talk!! i just need tips on talking to ppl with out feeling weak and pithetic (and i neeed to be able to cry around ppl without feeling weak 2, i need help with that 2)

start off small. maybe try keeping a diary? this way you can let all of your emotions out, but you won't feel embarrassed about who will see them. and you shouldn't feel weak or pathetic when you cry. crying is a good and healthy way to let out all of your bottled up emotions. everybody needs to have a good cry every once in a while.

now when you are talking to your social workers at school, start off by telling her something small that is bothering you. this way you can learn to trust her and feel more comfortable about her. or maybe you could even try bringing your diary with you and reading it aloud to her?

have you told your social worker how your having trouble talking about your emotions? she is there to help you, not to criticize you. remember this.

good luck with everything and if you every have any more questions just leave one in my inbox :]

Like all the books are about 26 year old single women that work for a magazine in New York City. Does anybody know of any books kind of like Prep, more for teenage girls .. that are good? Titles and authors would be great.

okay. well all my friends have really cute underwear and i don't! i buy only black cause i'm so scared that i'll get my period and then i'll have to throw that underwear i away...

well, i was just wondering, how do you know when youre gonna get your period so you can put on black underwear like the day before? my doctor told me you can find out if you press the center of your nipple. if it's sensitive, you are either getting your period or you have it. so i've been doing that, but sometimes i'm like a day off and then i have throw my underwear out again!

so my question is... how can i wear cute underwear without risking that it's gonna get stained? ANY advice i'll take! and i'm not a mean rater either so if you don't really know i'll give you a five anyway

once you've had your period for a couple of monthes you start to notice like these "signs" of your body telling you that you are about to get your period. some people's breasts get sensitive, some people get lightheaded or get headaches, and as for me i get cramps.

but if you don't experience anything like this then what you can do is just wear your cute underwear, and if you happen to get it stained just put some detergent on it, rub it in, and then wash it.

i just bought this really cute pair of cheetah pumps, and i need help on what i can waeat with them. i know they will match brown tones and stuff but can i wear them with bright colors too? any help or pictures of outfits would be great

i would definitely avoid wearing them with bright colors. stick with earth tones when wearing them. if you wear bright colors with them it will clash with the cheetah pattern.

ok...where can you find edgy clothing for a decent price?? i live in newengland so...

well i've never been to newengland and i don't know what stores are there. so i'm just going to tell you some stores that i know of that have some edgy clothing.

delias
pacsun can have some good stuff
hot topic
journeys
zumiez

i know that pacsun and zumiez are both skateboarding companies, but if you look around you might find something you like. and you didn't say if you were a guy or a girl, so delias only works for girls.

okay you know in that song "cupid's chockehold" by the gym class heroes? there's this one line in the chorus "i never seem to get a lot"

does that have any sexual inferences? what do they mean by that?

even if you aren't sure, just answer anyway cause i'm just curious and i'm not a mean rater :]

i agree with the girl below me because if you just look at it by itself it does seem kinda sexual. but then when you add the rest it is saying how special his new girlfriend is to him because he doesn't get a lot of girlfriends.

your advicenators profile is frikin awsome! so how do you make your fonts like italic and bold and underlined and what not? and where did you get your background?

wow thanks! as for the background i made it myself in paint =] all you have to do is make a design for your background and then upload it to http://www.tinypic.com

ok for the fonts all you have to do is use these codes:

bold text: TEXT HERE
italic: TEXT HERE
underlined: TEXT HERE
hearts: ♥

then all you do is right the text you wanted to be changed where it says TEXT HERE.

for example if i wanted to say hello in bold text i would use this code:

hello

i hope i didn't confuse you too much...and if i did just ask me another question =]

my cat walked on my keyboard and some how changed the font on my internet. its smaller, and i cant read it. how do i change it? its not the font on my computer, just on internet pages. i have Opera, if that helps.

thanks!

well i don't know about your computer, but on my computer you can change the text size by going to page-->text size--> and then you can choose the size. so look around your internet page for anything like file-->page or just page. i personally use internet explorar so i don't know the exact way your internet is set up but i'm sure its somewhat similar to internet explorar.

okay well this might be kinda long. okay well i have these best friends.. three of them. and we were really close and everything. one of them i have been friends with since kindergarden, one since first grade, and one since like two or three years ago. its been a long time and we have always been so close. last year and during the summer we had a lot of other friends and we all hung out almost everyday and we hung out with guys and everything was perfect. but this year, things changed. i have pretty much no one in any of my classes. like at all. and my three best friends all have classes together. so i was pretty much left out from the beginning. but things were fine and we were happy. but then in december.. they started hanging out with other girls on their team (team in school) and at first i was invited to hang out with them.. but then i dont know what happened on day i wasnt invited to something and then i just stopped being invited from then on. one of my best friends had a sleepover with like 5 people and didnt invite me. i wasnt that mad about that, but its just that was when my other two best friends became really close with the other girls, and i wasnt. and so basically those girls plan everything, so of course i was never invited anywhere on weekends because my best friends didnt plan anything. i dont know why they could never ask to invite me or something like that. so then my weekends were just at home doing nothing. and i was sick of it. i tried talking to my best friends about it many times, and every time it ends up becoming a fight. they have said things that have hurt me and i get really mad, but i didnt want to lose them completely so i stupidly forgot about it and apologized so the fighting would stop. i never really stood up for myself, and i held it all inside. well now, one of my "best friends" doesnt want to be friends with me at all anymore. shes saying that she doesnt hang out with me at all so she doesnt want to try to stay best friends. so she basically hates me. and the other two who i were friends with the longest dont seem to even like me that much anymore. i never get payed any attention to at lunch, the only time of the day i see them. when they talk they never even look at me, so its basically like theyre not even talking to me. im just sick of being treated like crap for months and just letting this happen to me. i can tell they dont want to be best friends with me at all anymore. do you think i should forget them and try to make new friends?? i mean i love my friends to death i have had amazing times with them but things arent the same at all, and theyre not willing to try to fix things. i dont know what to do.. i wanted to know your opinion on things, do you think i did something wrong? im not sure why things are going like this. but in my opinion, its like we were friends since the very begining, and now im suddenly out of the picutre. do you think this is a normal thing to do.. just dump a person like that? idk what to do.

wow. i'm sorry but your friends are being real b****es to you. obviously they aren't your true friends and never were or else they wouldn't treat you like this. don't let it get you down and depressed. your young and some people just change. i think we've all had something like this happen to use before.

i think that you should try to make new friends. if you've already tried talking to them about it and how your upset and they dont care about your feelings then they don't deserve you as a friend. you said that last summer you guys hung out with a bunch of other people including guys. why don't you try making friends with those people? or you could even make some new guy friends. having guy friends is great and there is so much less drama =]

slowly start talking to other people. like people that you sit next to in class, and ask if you can sit with them at lunch. this way your old "friends" will get the picture and realized that you've moved on. ask someone to hang out and you'll be making more friends in no time.

don't let these 3 girls get you down. just move on and find even better friends that won't ditch you for other people.

good luck with everything and if you have any more questions just leave one in my inbox

my best friend is a "prep" but all my other friends are emo and goth looking (they really aren't, they are weird and awesome), my other friend, we will call her "erika". She doesn't like "ida" so she says that she won't be my friend if i start acting like them, i want to sit with them at lunch and be better friends with them....but i just don't know what to do....and i m afraid that she will stop being my friend...and the whole guy factor, i m afraid that i wont find the guy for me, or a good looking one (and fyi, i m a prep and a emo, well a little bit of both of my friends.....please!!!!

i've gone through the same exact situation. to me it seems like erika isn't a very good friend. if she is your real friend then she wouldn't care who else you hang out with unless they were getting you into some kind of trouble.

what i think you should do is reassure erike that you are are still best friends but that you still want to be friends with ida and her friends too. slowly start talking to Ida and her friends more to see what they are like.

and don't let anybody pressure you into what you should wear or how you should look. dress how YOU want to, not how erika wants you to. for me i am still kinda "girly" yet i love my checkered vans, converse, anything checkered or plaid, rock music, and skinny jeans. i'm like a mix of everything! and i found that delias is a very girly way to still be kinda edgy =]

my friend feels like she is below my horse...thats weird...i love him with all my heart...and she is my best friend...she fells like i put him before her...like 3 saturdays she has asked me to do something with her....but i ride every sat...and i don't know what to do...keep up wat i m doing....or ride on sundays sometimes...wat should i do

well i think that you should talk to your friend about how she is over analyzing the situation a little.

think of it this way. instead of horseback riding you play soccer. and then on saturdays you have games. would she still feel the same way? like she is below soccer?

explain to her that you are still her best friend and that you love hanging out with her, its just that saturdays are you riding days and you guys can hang out the other 6 days of the week. lol.

you shouldn't change your schedule, its your friends attitude that needs to change.

good luck! and if you have any more questions just leave one in my inbox =]
