I practiced Archery with my friend && I wanted to buy a bow and some arrows. (the kind with the plastic stuff on the end that you hook to the bow.) Where could I find one?

Well you could always check at walmart.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/search-ng.gsp?search_constraint=0&search_query=archery+bows+and+arrows&ic=20_0

I knwo you probly dont live in maine but up here theres this shop with big Target that says archery on it. So maybe if you drive around your town you may have a shop with just archery supplies. They might have one downtown.

Hope this helps

Theres this boy i really like but, i can't get him to like notice me alot. I mean we talk online all the time and sometimes go places together with other friends but i am like totally crushing on this guy and my friends have tried to see if he likes me but all he says is "why do you want to know?" i no this seems like a very common problem but i need help! what should i do?

p.s hes shy wich makes it hard.

Aww i think this guy likes you. Because if he didnt then he wouldnt say that "why do you want to know?".

Maybe instead of having your friends talk to him you should hang out just you and him and tell him that you really like him. If you tell him how you feel then theres a good chance that he will open up to you.

f/14
I would like to get some money && I m willing to work around the house. But I would to know unique chores I can do (besides babysitting, mowing the lawn, ect.)

Also do you have any other money making ideas?

Well you cant really get a job outside of house chores so here are some that will probly really help your parents out. And show them that you want money.

- laundry (wash and fold)
- kitchen
- scrubbing floors
- cleaning the bathroom(s)
- washing the cabinets
- dusting the house
- Cleaning the insides of the cabinets (organize it more if needed)

thats all i can think of right now. Just eexplain to your parents that you would like to get a little bit of money by doing house chores. Im sure if you tell them that they will be willing to give you things that need to be cleaned.

Hey guys!
So this year I get to learn a langauge && I picked French. does anybody know any tips? or know any awesome sites that can help me?

Merci.

I learned spanish last year as a junior and i had alot of trouble keeping it in my head. But itll probly be alot easier for you to learn just because the fact i have short term memory.

The main thing that will get you through french will be to study as much as you possible can. Because if you dont study it will be hard to understand the language. When you get vocabulary make flashcards. Put the french word on one side and what it means on the other side. Also if you ever dont understand anything ask the teacher. thats what he/she is there for.

Like the perosn below said. Never use translators the french you learn in school is not the french they use on those translators.

any more questions just ask
hope this helps

My boyfriend and I have been having sex only for a few weeks now. He's been enjoying it very much and it doesn't take him long to 'cum'. I see no pleasure in it at all. It doesn't hurt any longer, it's just...blah. Why is this happening? Is this on my part or his? I was a virgin before him and I thought sex was supposed to be amazing when you're in love!

If you guys are doing the same thing every tim you have sex that may be the reason its not as hot as it was the first couple times. Maybe spice it up a little bit. Wear lingerie, Light candles in the room and make it really romantic, try new things. heres website just look around it.

14/f. i'm going into 9th grade, which at my school is still in middle school. now i have two questions:

1)is it easier to buy 1 large 3" binder for all five of my academic classes, or two colored 1.5" binders (one for my three morning classes and one for my two afternoon classes). i just need a first hand experience here. will two binders get too confusing?

2) i want to decorate the front of my binder(s). i'm going to get the type of binders that have that clear pocket on the front of the binder that you can slide a piece of paper into. i want to cut out things from magazines but i don't know what to cut out things that i won't like half way through the year. i thought of cutting out store names and things but i need more!

any input will help me A LOT!

I think the two 1.5 inch binders will be easier. I tried carrying around the 3 inch binder my freshman year and i got really aggravating.

As for decorating your binders. You can Get pictures form magazines or you can cut out pictures of you and your friends and make a collage type thing. Or you can do something like this:

13/f
ughh i can never sleep! it's because of my summer sleep schedual, so i'm trying to go to sleep every night a half hour earlier because school starts next week, but it doesn't make a difference. like, last night i watched tv til 1, read til 2(because i still wasnt tired,) and ended up falling asleep around 3. maybe after. nothing makes me tired, i even tried counting backwards from 100 like, 4 times. i told my mom and she was like well go to bed eariler, so i told her that doesnt work and she said to read, and i told her that doesn't work either, so she just like, walked away she doesnt listen to me. everr. so are there any ways that i can get tired? i want to be asleep for school by 11/11.30 pleasseee hellpp ?

Lay down between 10-1030pm. Dont read or watch tv those are just distractions that will cause you to stay up longer. If you just lay down youll get bored and fall asleep. If this doesnt work and you still dont get to bed till 2am then still wake up at 7am or around the time you will get up for school. Yes youll be tired but then you will sleep alot better that night. And youll be ready to wake up the next morning. But go to bed the same time every night. And on weekends dont stay up to late because itll screw your sleeping schedule up again.

Hope this helps

I don't know what to do and I really need advice.

My twin sister hates me. At least, I think she does. She acts like she does.

I moved out nearly a year ago into a flat with my boyfriend and since then, my relationship with everyone has improved....except with my sister. I've tried everything. I've got her round for an evening to watch movies, I even cooked a meal for her the day before yesterday. I invite her places and generally try to reach out and be sisterly.....but all she does is bitch at me.

For example, when I was there on Sunday, any time I said anything about the house (including innocently asking why there was a heap of bedclothes in the middle of my parent's bed), I got told that it was none of my business, because I don't live there any more. Then, when I try speaking to her about anything neutral, such as how work is with her and so on, she clams up. She won't talk to me and on the occasions she does, she does nothing but snap and be rude, ill mannered and.....I just don't know if I can cope with it.

It's getting to the stage where it is just easier to shut her out all together because I can't handle the way she rejects me all the time. Everyone has seen it, so I know it isn't me being paranoid.

I need some advice on how to handle it. I've tried fighting back, I've tried not saying anything..all I can do is get angry and cry.

Please help. Any advice will be gratefull received.

If you guys were close before you moved out then maybe shes upset by the fact that you moved out. Thats the obvious thing that comes to mind. I know alot of twins have a connection that they dont want broken and maybe she things that your boyfriend broke the connection between the two of you. But a year has also been a longg time to be mad over something like this. Your sister sounds very jealous by the fact that you got out of the house And that you let another person into your life and he gets more attention then she does.

You need to sit your sister down (maybe go out to eat with her) And dont let her say no. Explain to her that you have it as far as you can take it and you need to know why she is so angry with you, Why she doesnt want anything to do with you anymore, and why she has acted like your not her sister ever since you have moved in with your boyfriend.

Explain to her that you did not move out to hurt her. And that your still your sister and you care about her alot but the way she is actting is hurting you alot.

Hope this helps

i realllly need help getting to sleep and waking up for school! i go to bed at like 2 and wake up at like 11 pills herds ANYTHING

Lay down for bed an hour before you want to be asleep. Turn off the tv and lights and just lay there you will eventually get bored and fall asleep. And wake up the next mornning about the same time that you will have to wake up for school. Do this for and a week and your body wil get is sleeping schedule back to normal.

The first night laying down early will probly be really hard. I tried to get to bed early and ended up just laying there till 2am. But i still woke up at 6am. So even if you dont get to bed till after midnight still walke up early so that you will be tired that night.

hope this helps

Hey im 15/f. And i think i have some sort of sleeping disorder. Because i dont usually get tired until about 3 or 4 in the morning. And i hate it because that only leaves me a couple hours of sleep. But when i do have time to sleep in i usually sleep in until like noon and dont wanna get up. I was wondering is there something wrong with me? I used to be able to fall asleep right away. But i just cant anymore. Please help!!

It might be because of the summer. Just about every teenagers sleeping schedule gets knocked off when summer begins. My sister is 13 and stays up all night also then goes to sleep around 5 am and sleeps till 2 in the after noon. If you want to go to bed around 10pm then get ready for bed around 9 and lay down. Turn off everything in the room. You dont want anything distracting you. Wake up the same time that you would need to get up for school. Youll be really tired but youll probly fall asleep earlier that night.

If you continue not to get enough sleep then you will get sleep deprivation. heres a few websites.

I have $200 to spend on a digital camera. I want it to be cool [like the slim ones] and have the option of taking pictures and recording short videos. What kind should I get and how many megapixels should I get? Thanks.

i think the person below me named a cellphone not a digital camera. I dont know exactly what kind of digital cameras are out there because i ordered my on Ebay. What you can do is go to walmart and look at all the cameras they have on display. And when you find one you like asks the photo tech. if the camera can record videos. Most digital cameras will have this feature.

There should be tons of cameras that are under $200 at walmart. if you can find one there you can always try staples. I believe they have them there.

hope this helps.

ok.. i have an 8 year old sister & she is very developed 4 her age. if u know wht i mean.. and she has a boyfriend who is 14.. which is not so unusual cuz she always dates older guys.. well.. my parents dont know about this boyfriend of hers.. so it is even worse.. she makes out with him all the time.. adn i dont have a problem with that.. but last week she decided to have sex.. and now shes preganat! what do i do???

How could an 8year old be Very developed? I highly doubt that she is even a cup size "maybee" she in a training bra but i highly doubt shes "developed." Why is she dating a 14 year old? When a 14 year old dates a 8 year old you should notices there is something wrong with that picture right away. A 14 year old is usually a frehsman in high school and a 8 year old is in the 4th grade. He is really stupid or you are making up this story. About your sister being pregnant. She would of had to start her period and its really rare for a 8 year old to start her period.

How did you find out she was pregnant? Di she take a pregnancy test? I hihgly doubt you went out and bought one because you sound reallly young yourself. Maybe even under 13.

If this story is true talk to your parents about her and her boyfriend and how she is pregnant.

I just got a new camera. And it came with the memory card. But, i have a question, does the pictures stay on the memory card, even if i delete it off the camera? Thanx.

Well if you delete the pictures with the memory card in the camera then the picture will be gone.

If you delete picture without the memory card then no your just deleting pictures off the camera.

heyy well i have really small boobs, and i want to know how to make them bigger without using medicine. does it help to drink milk or to squeeze them or something? and don't say you can't make them bigger without medicine, because i know you can becuase all of the slutty girls have big boobs and all of the non-slutty girls have tiny boobs, so they must be doing something to make them bigger. please help!

The only think you can do is wear a pushup bra or a water bra. They both make you look bigger.

"all of the slutty girls have big boobs and all of the non-slutty girls have tiny boobs"

Thats not true. Im am not a slut at all and i have DDcup. It depends on your mom and other siblings.

You sound pretty young and you have allot of growin still left. I would wait you dont stop growing till around 20 years old.

Is lipgloss, lipliner, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, foundation, and concealer too much for a 10th grader?

I haven't seen other girls wear this much makeup.

Is this too much makeup for my age? [15]

It's not caked on or anything... I'm just wanting your opinion.

well i would consider it alot because i dont really see the point in wearing so much makeup. All i ever wear is foundation, eyeliner, and mascara.

But you dont have to change for anyone if you want to wear the makeup wear it. Just because you dont see alot of girls wearing makeup like that doesnt mean you have to knock it down.

this year money is tight {i think} my dad put off school supplies till the last second and he only gave me 20$ i need a new backpack cuz he made me get rid of my old ones but i also need like paper pens nd everything to i dont no waht to do i cant ask for more he will get mad but i cant get my stuff with only 20$ he didnt give me any money for clothes or shoes so now i get to go to school with shoes that are falling apart and jeans to small for me and we jusy moved too so i need to make friends but i will look like a loser with no backpack or new shoes and lod clothes that are praticaly to small i need money but i have no way of etting it there is no one to babysit and i am only 13 and get cant a job and i need a haircut as well like bad so how can i get my neccesities it is too late to get stuff from the salavotion army

For the School supplies i would go to a staples. They have almost everything you need really cheap. If you have a cvs around you then go there also they have a bunch of school supplies on sell right now. Only get like a pack of pens and pencils, 2 packs of paper, and couple of folders and whatever else you may need.

For backpacks You can check at walmart or anywhere that sells school supplies. Just get a cheap one. Honestly the people below that said get a cartoon backpack or you dont need you because they make you look stupid. Ignore them. Im a senior and i still have to carry one around.

For the clothing i really dont know what to do. but maybe call up some relatives and explain to them that your dad wont give you enough money for you to get some new outfits.

And the hair cut im sure someone in your neighboorhood knows how to cut hair.

You really need to explain to your dad that $20 wont buy you hardly any of what you will need. Hes supposed to support you for school. You say money is tight but if he only has $20 to give you then theres really problems.

hope this helps
