Is finding the right gift! What can I get/make for my friend for Christmas? I have no cash but I want to make something really nice. She's getting me something great for christmas so I want to get her something equally great. No scrapbooking.. she's already done that.. What can I make that's personal? Please help! I rate! (link)

You could make your friend a cute purse or something to that effect... If you like that idea, go to the store and find a really cute shirt on the clearance rack. What you should do once you find one you like is cut off the sleeves if it has any, and do something creative with the body of it. Then, sew the botton of the shirt together so that the stuff doesn't fall out of the bottom. Depending on what's on the shirt, you might not want to decorate it, but if you do, you can use pretty much anything... sparkles, glitter, buttons, shapries... whatever. I made a purse like this myself actually, and it's pretty awesome-looking.

My friend is 14/f and she wants big boobs. She's not going to get plastic surgery(thats for sure) and i keep telling her everyone goes at their own pace. She doesnt even fit into an A cup. DOes anyone know how to make their boobs bigger with out surgery and stuff?I know this may be embarrasing so dont be a smart and tease. I rate 5's for any good answers tho! (link)
| |
There's no way for you to "make" your boobs bigger unless you get breast implants. They get bigger on their own. That's the whole point of puberty; it doesn't happen all at once. So, unless she's into stuffing her bra, she's just gonna have to wait until nature takes its course.

ok im 13 8th grade and this guy asked me to go with him.
i really dont know how to say no to guys.
I AM EXTREMLY NOT ATRACTED TO HIM.
and i dont want to go with him.
hes going to kiss me.
PLEASE HELP.
i rate 5s. (link)

You just have to tell him that you're not interested in going to the dance with him, and that you think he'd have a better time with someone else. Don't, for any reason, lie and say you have other plans that night if you don't. Because it'll only lead to hurting his feelings even more. Just be upfront and tell him that you don't want to go to the dance with him.

Hi
I'm 15 years old and i've had my period for a little bit over a year now. I have always used pads, but i'd really like to start using tampons. But there's only one problem, im so scared of them. I've tried using the before, but im just scared to leave something up there...please help me. Are there small tiny tampons for teens to use? im sooo freaked out.
please help
ill rate hight
thanks

There are indeed "slim" tampons out there. You just have to read the packages to make sure that you're getting the right ones. There's nothing wrong with using tampons as long as you make sure to change them every four hours or so, especailly if your period is heavy. Also, don't use tampons at night. Use a pad during the night...

I have a sort-of sweating problem. I've tried secret, ban, and I think a few other deodorants...but none seem to work. Do you know what kind of deodorants might help me? thanks. (link)
| |
Well, first of all, make sure that you're using an antiperspirant as well as a deodorant. The deodorant masks the smell and the antiperspirant stops the sweating. If you aren't having any kind of luck with store bought products, maybe you should try seeing a doctor about it. They can presribe something for you that will help stop the sweating, and the prescription will be stronger than what's available at the store.

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
(link)

Go shopping tomorrow (the day after Thanksgiving) and go through all the clearance racks at the mall. That's the best way to find cute stuff at a really good price. Some of the stuff might be leftovers from last year, but it hasn't gone out of style yet. They ususally have the nicer dresses all in one section. My advice is to take everything you find that's appropriate for your age and in your size back to the dressing room. Try it all on because sometimes the stuff that looks stupid hanging up looks really cute on you.

I am an inspiring fashion designer. I'm curious to know are there any sites or computer prograams that i can go to or buy that would allow me to create my designs. It would be a big help! I rate high for good answers (link)
|
I don't know if this will help you or not because it's not exactly what you asked, but I wanna give this a shot...
First of all, I don't know of any computer programs that do this, but I would suggest going to a place like Staples or Best Buy and asking the person in the software department about it...
I think that the best way for you to create your designs is to actually do it. With real clothes, because that way you can wear what you create after it's done. I re-design a lot of my own clothing into something that's more fashionable. If you have any old clothes lying around that you don't wear anymore, start by using those to make something new, or go to the Salvation Army/Goodwill and buying some cheap things that you can create things with. Also, they STYLE channel has some cute ideas about how to make cute things... try watching that to get some ideas.

Okay well I had this boyfriend and we were only going out for two weeks and then he called me and said that we cant go out anymore. I wasnt that dissapointed because we hadnt been going out for too long. But then my best guy friend sent me their conversation and the kid that dumped me was really mad he did. He only did it because someone told him it would be weird to go out with me. He just asked me out again and I know that he will dump me again because that is what he did last year too. What should i do (link)
| |
The choice is ultimately yours, but I think you should tell this jerk no. He's being incredibly immature about the whole "dating" scene. He's probably not worth dating if he breaks up withe girls just because someone else thinks that it's "wierd". Your relationship was none of that person's business, in my opinion.... Tell this guy that if he really wants to be your boyfriend, he should learn how to be a real man instead of pretending like you're still in elementary school.

Help!! Mine and my girlfriend's 1 year anniversary is tomorrow, and we're still searching for something to do in the daytime. We have the whole evening and night planned out, making dinner and all that, but we need ideas for what to do during the day other than our usual movie/mall/stay at home.
We're 17 and 18 and neither of us have our liscense, so we're kinda limited, but her parents are willing to take us if its not too much. (link)
|
Wow..you're 17 and 18 and don't have liscences yet?? That's crazy... I've had mine for a year and I'm only 16.. but I digress.. Here's my advice:
Look in the newspaper for things in your town that are different or interesting. I'm not sure where you're from, so maybe this won't work.. but in my local newspaper, they always print a section of the community events that are going on... Stuff like plays, art shows, little concerts, etc. Maybe you could look for something like an art show or a play to go to during the day. Things like that are ususally cheaper to go to during the day, and it's not something that's been done a million times (like the mall, movies, or hanging out at home).

Hey guys..well i have a question..obviously. Im obsessed with the band Good Charlotte, and have been for about 4 or 5 years..but people always tell me stuff. Im tired of them thinking my music sucks more then theirs because its not "poser" music. I feel like i got more balls then THEY DO cause its harder to admit you like music that will get people to tell you crap the it is to be the crap talker. What should i do? (link)
| |
If YOU like your music, just say so. There's no reason you should have to deal with people saying that kind of crap to you just because you listen to a different kind of music than they do. It's ridiculous. Just tell the crap talkers that they don't have to like it just because you do. You're the one listening to it, not them. Just stand up for yourself. Once they get told off once, they're not too likely to want to try picking on you again.

I'm 16, and my boyfriend who is 18 will have been going out for 2 months next Friday. I was wondering.. should I get him a card? Or buy him a present? Or should I just not do anything..just simply wish him happy anniversary? What do people usually do for their 2 month anivarserys? (link)
| |
2 months isn't really an anniversary that people usually celebrate, to tell you the truth. At least that's been my experience. Cards and presents might be overdoing it just a bit.. but I think that maybe a dinner date at a nice restaraunt would be a fun idea. (I'm not talking like a 5-Star restaraunt.. I mean something affordable like Applebees or Ruby Tuesday)
|
|
Ohkay, this is very embarassing for me to ask. But how is a boner noticable to the boy getting it and anyone around him? It just doesn't make sense to me. Please no stupid answers =) (link)
| |
Well, I'm not a guy, so I can't really tell you how he would notice when he's getting one... But as for the people around the "excited" young lad, you can see a.. how should i put this.. "buldge" maybe? It's kinda hard to explain without having a visual model, but you can definatly tell. Sometimes there are wet spots on whatever pants he's wearing as well.

By the way I'm a 16 year old girl.
Well I have a friend named Adam who is really big into Dungeons and Dragons and well he wants me to join his D&D group. I don't want to join because it kind of goes a little bit against my religion and it is filled with all sorts of dark imagery that I would prefer not to get involved with. I know that I have to tell him but I think that if I straight up tell him that I don't want to participate then he'll get mad at me. I'm a bit confused. He's a great friend except for when it comes to just begging me and telling me that he'll do almost anything to get me to join. (link)
| |
You shouldn't have to give a detailed reason about why you don't want to play D&D. The fact that it's D&D should be enough... I don't blame you for not wanting to do it, actually. As I don't have a religion, I don't have to worry about it offending me in that kind of way... but if I were you, I'd tell him that you aren't interested in playing roleplaying games because it's not really your thing. Just tell him that you're not going to tolerate his childish behavior anymore and that if he continues to bother you about it, that you won't hang out with him at all... That should work.

i really wanna get the new dance dance revolution for x-box and it says the game is 40$ but do you need to buy the mat with it??
ANSWER ASAP
il rate!! (link)
| |
You do need the mat to go with it because that's how you play the game. You step on the squares on the mat and then you see what you're doing on the screen... DDR is kinda fun, but takes a little practice. So yeah.. buy the mat for it too...

I have a problem. I cannot seem to stop eating. I at times have control over what I eat, but on the weekends when I have time on my hands, I eat a lot. Today, I said to myself that I would not eat a whole bunch and I did anyway. I am not sure what is causing me to do this, but I could use some tips to stop stuffing my face all of the time. It will start when I am hungry, but then I don't stop after I am satisfied.
AHHHH!
I rate high for good advice.
(link)
| |
I have this problem too, but i would suggest that you just do some simple things to make it harder for yourself to over-eat. Maybe you could make up all of your meals for the week and then put them in the freezer and take out only one when you're going to eat it. What I do when I want snacks in between meals is to count out what one serving size of the stuff is and put it in a bag. Then I put the food away and eat only what's in my bag. If it's one of those days where all you can think about is food, go somewhere like the mall and leave your cash at home so you're not tempted to spend it all on food at the food court... Instead use credit cards, gift cards, or a check to pay for whatever you want from the stores... I find that I ususally get so wrapped up in shopping that I forget that I'm even hungry in the first place.

My bestfriend and her boyfriend have been together for about 4 months now. Problem is: he says he likes me! And I'm kind of into him too! I don't know what to do, thats like my bestfriend. I sure don't want to ruin our friendship but oh my goodness I am really into this boy! (link)
| |
My advice to you would be to stay away from your friend's boyfriend while they're still together. If they break up soon and you and this guy are still interested in being together, it's fair game. Your friend might be mad about the possibility of you and her possibly soon to be ex getting together, but if you guys are really friends she'll get over it. Under no circumstances should you mess around with your friend's man while she's with him. That's just begging for a girlfight.

Whats a career is in the medical area where you dont have to deal with a lot of blood and surgery? (link)
| |
Dealing with blood is pretty much guaranteed if you really want to be in the medical field. If you're squeamish about things like blood, excrements, and dead people.. medicine is not the field for you. Take it from someone who knows first hand.. I'm studying to be a Certified Nurse Aide and doing things like wiping butts is what you do every single day.

ok im an athlete so i have practice at night & get home around 9ish & i was wondering if it's totally disgusting to take a shower in the morning before school? im a girl, but like i have homework & stuff when i get home, & i juss go to bed, nothing else. if i take a shower at night, my hair gets weird & i don't think you should take a shower twice a day. any ideas??
thanks!! (link)
| |
There's nothing wrong with only showering in the morning. That's how I do it. And honestly, who cares what you smell like if you're just going home to do homework and go to bed?

Hey I'm a guy and was just wondering...should age matter in a relationship? What's your point of view on this one, like does it matter if both are close in age or far apart...by far I mean less than 5 years or so. Thanks in advance, will rate. (link)
| |
This question has probably been answered a million times already, but I wanted to give you my opinion on it. Honestly, I think age does matter to some extent. There are always people who prefer younger/older girls/guys. As a matter of relationships, age matters a lot more when the parties involved are under 18. Especailly with all that "legal" stuff that everyone makes such a big deal about. If the people are 4 years or less apart, it shouldn't make a huge amount of difference. Of course, it all depends on the people... Once you're 18 or older, it usually makes no difference at all. Everyone's stopped worrying about who's "legal" and who isn't and they start caring more about the person than they do about the person's age.

I have been dating my boyfriend for alittle over a month and we are starting to fall for eachother alot. Last night he told me that he was scared because I have so much power over him and that he was scared that I might lead him somewhere wrong. What does this mean? I really don't understand! (link)
| |
If I'm interpreting what you're saying right... I think it means that he's afraid you could convince him to do something he doesn't really want to do. That could mean almost anything, actually. From something like drugs he doesn't wanna do, sex, stealing.. whatever. I'm not implying that you do those things, but that could be what he's afraid of. This could possibly be the first time he's ever fallen for someone the way that he has... It sounds like he's in one of those phases where he could easily be persuaded. In other words, he gives in to peer pressure easily.
