does anyone know any stores to buy beanies? (hats) (link)
| |
Just about any place has them. I bet you could get one at Wal-Mart or something if you just wanted a cheap one. Or if you're looking for something more original-looking, places like Pac-Sun, Hot Topic, or Torrid probably have them. Any store that sells their store's brand name of clothing probably has them. I think I saw some American Eagle ones there today.....

A friend of mine is avoiding talking to me. She says that she isn't talking to anybody who needs help/advice or anyone whos going through things because she has her own stuff to deal with. So, yeah, we're having problems because I should be able to count on her but I just can't. We're both in theatre, and both doing Costumes for this next show. So basically, i'm stuck with her. Plus i've been sick and i've missed some of the crew calls. Should I just quit costumes?? I would do the show after this, but I don't feel like being on her crew. I enjoy sewing and making costumes but.....

Honestly, I think you're friend's being kind of a jerk by saying that she won't help anyone with their problems because she has her own... And I can definatly see why you wouldn't want to work with her anymore. If her behavior is something you can just brush off, I would say that you should stay on the costume crew. If you can't deal with it anymore, just quit and respect the fact that you guys need some space. It's all about what you want... because if the way she's acting is going to stress you out, don't put up with it.

Alright here is the story. I broke up with my boyfriend about 3 days ago because it didn`t feel right and I kinda wanted to explore with other guys. The problem is I still like my now ex alot and I dont want him to get with another girl! I Don`t know if I should go back out with him or just explore or what to do at all! Any ideas?
I rate well (link)
| |
I would reccomend to you to keep doing what you're doing. You obviously didn't like your ex well enough to want to keep calling him your boyfriend, so being jelous when you see him with another girl is something you're probably just going to have to deal with. You can't treat the guy like he's a toy you can pick up and put back down whenever you get sick of him. If experimenting with other guys is something you really wanna do, I say go for it. Let your ex do his thing while you go off and do your thing. If you guys want to get back together later, by all means do so. It sounds like you guys might need a little break, though.

I want to raise enough money to buy a nano iPod but many places you have to be 16 to work at. My friend told me that to work at McDonalds you can be 14(my current age) Does anyone know if this is true?
P.S-I know there food is the worst for you but I'm working there for the money. (link)
| |
I'm not too sure about Canada's age requirements, but here in the U.S. you have to be 16 years old or 15 years old with a work permit. I'd advise you to hold of on getting a job until you are 16, though. Jobs pretty much take up the better part of your free time, and you've got your whole life to go to work. Enjoy the free time while you can get it.

*15 female*
My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and like 2 weeks. I care for him a lot, but i'm such a jealous girlfriend and I can't help it.I mean I get jealous even when he says jlo is hot or someone else famous. I don't like when he hangs out with other girl unless i'm there to. I feel this is wrong of me. I trust him with all my heart but sometimes i just can't help it to be jealous. any advice?
Thanks in advance

I can relate.... I don't blame you for not wanting your boyfriend to hang around with other girls. If a guy in a serious relationship is hanging out with a bunch of girls all the time... there's something wrong with that picture. I don't think it's wrong at all for you to feel that way. If the girls are really his friends and nothing more, they'll understand they way you feel even if they don't like it. Honestly, I think you should just try to let it roll off if he says something about a celebrity being "hot". I'm sure there are celebrites that you think are good looking and he probably feels the same way. Maybe you could ask him to not say things like that around you. Since you guys hae been together for awhile, he should be able to comply with that.
Hope I helped. :)

Since you'll have only been together for three months at Christmas-time, I wouldn't put a lot of energy into finding that "perfect gift". I would reccomend getting something like a t-shirt or a CD that you think he would like. Or maybe even a gift card if you can't think of anything else.
|

okay well i have long, thick blonde hair.. and in the shower it comes out REALLY EASiLY.. and a lot. like seriously ... a bunch of hair. idunno.. so .. does anybody know any shampoo && condishiner(sp?) that prevents this.. right now i use Tressime.. ((im 13/f if it helps any)) (link)
| |
There's really nothing you can do to prevent it. My hair does the same thing. Some hair is supposed to fall out. Unless you're losing hair by the handful and have bald patches on your head.. there's nothing to worry about. I must admit, it is kinda freaky, though.
|
Well i am a grl and i like to wear boy clothes!!!
is that weird or normal? (link)
| |
That's perfectly normal. I think every girl goes through a stage where they wear nothing but boys clothes. You'll either grow out of it eventually, or you won't. As long as you wear something, I don't see why it should matter.

Right well we got a swimmin pool built in our school last month and when the girls are on their periods they aren't allowed to sit out but are forced to use tampons!!!!!! I haven't been on since it was built but oomg. I am so scared. I have never used a tampon and I'm never GONNA so don't suggest I do. Isn't it like illegal to force us to use tampons or somethin? My friend even got her rents in about it and they still made her use tampons!! What can I do on swimmin days that I am on? I'm not using a tampon but I'm not standin in the changing room arguing bout whether to use one or not with the PE teacher its embarassing!! (link)
| |
I can understand the reason for wanting the girls in swimming class to use tampons, but they can't exactly force you to use one. If you don't want to use tampons, just don't do it. Don't take a class that would require you to wear one when you're on your period, rather than a pad. Unless you have to take swimming... then I would just say that I forgot my suit at home.

Okay, as childish as this might sound, I needed to ask it anyways. I'm 15 female, and this other girl named; Rachael is 14. Rachael rides my bus & she was my first friend at school. I just recently moved here, she was/still is a loner too! After about a month she really started to annoy me, & I guess you could say I really don't like her AT ALL. But, she still follows me around, talks to me, etc. I'm not mean to her though - Seen as; I'm nothing like that. I'm seriously one of the nicest people alive. I really don't like to yell at people but if it becomes necessary, then I do. Today on the bus she took my purse because stupid me left it in the seat while I went back to my locker to get a book. When I got back she said, "I threw your purse out the window! Your love took the purse I don't have it!" Which really pissed me off. I asked her nicely for about 5 minutes, then I just lost it and totally flipped out, I really wanted my purse back & I knew she had it. She gave it back 10 mins after that and I ignored her the rest of the way home. When she asked if I was mad at her I said no, because I think it might seem childish if I were to say yes because she stole my purse & I defintiely didn't want to be the immature one in the situation. I was wondering, if I did right? Did it seem childish of me not to talk to her, or do you think that I did right? Thanks!!
Sorry this is so long, but I really needed to know. (link)
| |
Honestly, I don't think you did anything wrong. I'd be pretty dang mad if someone snatched my purse and wouldn't give it back. Sometimes you just can't deal with people who act childish and I can totally see why you flipped out on her like you did. If I were in your situation, I would continue not talking to her. Maybe she'll see that acting like a little kid isn't the way to gain someone's friendship.

im a boy in 8th grade and i am getting f's in l.a. lit and math and report cards are coming out tommarow friday and i wanted to know if any one could give me advice on how to show my parents my report card with them tearing my head off
thanks
mike (link)
| |
You can't really avoid getting your head torn off for crappy grades. You should just give your parents the report card and explain to them that you're going to work harder to bring your grades up. Even if this isn't true, just say it. Maybe it can get you a lesser punishment. I wouldn't reccomend hiding the report card if you have the kind of parents that keep up with that kind of thing.. because that's gonna get you grounded until you don't know what freedom's like...

hey
i was wondering how old do u have to be to get into a rated R movie..and if your to young all you need is your parents permission right??
thanks in advance! (link)
| |
Well, you're supposed to have to be 17 to get in without a parent present at the movie with you or telling the person who's selling the tickets that you are allowed to see the movie. The policy isn't ususally enforced very strictly, mostly because the theater just wants to make money. With some of the movies that came out for the halloween season, the theaters have been enforcing it a little more strictly. So, I would suggest that if you can pass for 17, just tell the person that you are.

I just bought a new shirt from aeropstale and when i got home i was lookin at it and they kept that security plastic thing on and i heard you can only get it off with a special thing! Im sooo mad i wanted to wear it tomorrow! does anyone have a way to get it off without ruining the shirt??? PLEASE HELP! 5'S!! (link)
| |
You need to take it back there with the recipt and tell them that they left the ink tag on it. As far as I know, everyone who's tried to get the tag off themselves has failed miserably. Sometimes they give you money off the bill when they made the mistake.
|
|
K, so I have no idea what to be for Halloween. I'm broke and need something easy on short notice. (link)
| |
You should look through your closet at some old clothes and see what things you could make your things into... Like making a skirt out of a cut up pair of jeans and material from a torn up old tshirt.. or something to that effect. What I suggest if you really have NO money at all.... you could wear old nasty clothes and be a bum, dress in skimpy stuff and be a "slut" or whatever, or if you have a lot of black stuff and some dark makeup, you could make a "gothic" costume. I hope that helped. Those are definatly sort of cliche, but if you have no money you probably don't have much to work with.

I'm 16 years old and I have a boyfriend I've been with for 4 months. I havn't really been the one to have a whole lot of girls as friends and the ones I've had my mom always has a problem with and in the end I'm not allowed to hang out with them. So lately its just been me and my boyfriend, which isn't bad. But I've been thinking about when I go away to college or later on in life, will I look back on this time period of my life and regret not bieng so social? My parents have been together since highschool and they are happy, but I'm not them. I just don't want to have any regrets on highschool or college or anything... (link)
| |
I think the way to avoid having regrets is to not do things that you KNOW you're not comfortable with and to also avoid not doing things you want to do just because you think other people will frown on it. I'm sort of in the same situation as you are, only minus the boyfriend. I'm not friends with a lot of girls either, and my guy friends are the greatest people in the world. There's nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with your boyfriend either. Why wouldn't you spend time with the guy you're dating?? There might be a time in your life when you want to be more social than you are now, but don't go out of your way to change who you are just because you think you may regret it in the future.

Why can't I wear foundation? I'll put on a little and blend it in but when you look at my face..it's all fuzzy and then it gets dry..and my face looks worse than it did before. I have tried powder and it worked until my face started to get dry and I can't wear it either. I don't know what to do... (link)
| |
Try putting some moisturizer on the spots that you know tend to get dry. Then start out by using a liquid foundation, then put on all your other makeup and go back over your face with a powder foundation to even out the tone in your face. That really helps you get a good natural look that's not "painted on". Powders dry out my face too, so try to get a good moisturizer that won't make your face break out.

okay i have a problem =/ my friend who i am really close to asked me to homecoming the other day, and i said no. well all along i have really wanted to go with him but people at my school hate him because he dumped one of them like 2 years ago, and they are still upset with him. the thing is, i said no because i didnt want people to be mad at me since it is only the 2nd week of school. Did i do the right thing? He seems really upset and i really want to go so does anyone have any advice? xO (link)
| |
Honestly, I think that not going with him just because you want to be well liked is really petty. I don't think that dumping someone two years ago should be held against him because people change a lot in two years. You can't really just go back up to him and say you changed your mind after you rejected him like that, but you should talk to him about it. You should say something that's true, no lies, and something that makes him feel a little better. Maybe you could invite him to go to a movie with you or something? I think you should talk to him and maybe find someone else to go to the dance with or else just go with a big group of friends.

does prude mean that you never kissed anyone or that you dont like too? (link)
| |
Well, the word "prude" basicly just means that the person being called a prude is sort of uptight. A prude is someone who is old fashioned when it comes to things like... current fashions, sex, and everything else that changes from generation to generation. Or someone who doesn't "give it out" easily.

This sounds like a really childish question to ask but..thongs.
My mom thinks they give the wrong message across when a 14 year old wears them.
But I still want to wear them because I hate it when you can see the panty lines. They're just so ugly!
They make me feel weird knowing that you can see them! I hate it. There's probably nothing wrong with it, but I still don't like it.
I don't know what to do though. I wear boy shorts alot, they don't show as many lines but I don't really like them. I wanna feel comfortable.
My friend told me to just confront my mom and tell her that I don't like the lines I get with regular panties but I can't do that, LOL. I don't know why.
Any suggestions? (link)
| |
Normally, I don't advise people to sneak around under their parents' noses, but I think this might be one of the few exceptions. I had the same problem with my mom when I first started wearing thongs (sorry if that's TMI). You should just go buy a bunch of thongs to wear and wash them yourself when you mom's not home. Panty lines look really sloppy and unprofessional. I don't blame you for not wanting to have them. I don't mean to diss your mom or anything.. but if you're not going around and showing off your underpants to everyone you see, how is anyone going to know what kind you wear? Underpants mean exactly that.. UNDER the pants.

I have been going out with is cute guy 4 about 2 weeks. But when we were friendz I liked him better than now. He is so serious now. He never talks to me, calls me, & sometimes ignores me! It makes me feel ugly! :( I am getting very mad at him. I don't know why he is like this. I mean I want the old guy that I used to know that would cut up and laugh and everything! Not a guy who completely ignores me!! Please Help! (PLEASE No smarts!) 13/F (link)
| |
From my experience, guys like this aren't ready for relationships. He probably doesn't know how to act like the boyfriend that you deserve to have. More than likely, he's ignoring you because he doesn't know what to say or do now that you're in a relationship. He's being serious (most likely) because he doesn't want you to think he's stupid. I think you'd be better off to give this guy his walking papers before you get so mad at him that it completely destroys the friendship.
