Ok my friend picked me up from track and i had her track shoes and put them inside and infront of the car. When we got home, she noticed she only had one. She sorta freaked out and then we had to pay her bro to go bak up to the skool and look for it. We couldnt find it. We got back and she was pissed and didnt want to talk to me. I felt really bad and uncomfterble, she gave me mean looks so i said i had to go home. I have to go back to her house so they can take us to a camp. What do i do?? i feel really bad.
please help i rate high

It probably fell out somewhere. Start by looking where you were, and retracing your steps. If you can't find it, maybe you should offer to replace it. Good luck! ♥ Kristen

My cousin's family invited me to go on a cruise with them to Cancun and Cozemel. I really want to go but if my cousin and I spend at least 2 hours together, we don't get along. She will get mad at me and I will have no one to hang out with because her dad's side of the family is coming, too (I don't know them because we're not related) But this is a once in a lifetime opportunity...Should I go or no??

I would definitely try and go because as you said, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Maybe you should get to know your cousin better. Invite her to lunch or go shopping.

My sister has really bad cramps! Does any one know some quick fixes. She has already had motrain if that helps! Thanks!!

Exercise and a heating pad will help.

I've got shoulderlength fine brown hair. I was stupid and my round bristle brush got rolled up in it and i can't get it out. How do i get it out

PLEASE HELP ME!! I rate 5's to EVERYONE who gives me a CONSTRUCTIVE answer ON SUBJECT!!

You need a comb or sturdy toothpick. Pick out each strand by the outer end, NOT the scalp end. Don't rush. If worst comes to worst, go to your hairdresser and have her cut it out. For now, just be carefull and take your time. ♥ Kristen

I think I might have diabetes because:

1. I feel tired and sleepy a lot of times
2. I'm always hungry (but I've always had a big appetite) and lately I've been eating a LOT
but I'm not overweight
3. and thirsty
4.my maids told me that there are ants in my panty!

I'm only 20 yrs old...anyway can anyone share info about what procedure is done to test if I have diabetes? where do I go to?

I have phobia with injections getting blood from me, will I have to do this? some sort of glucose tolerance test? how much blood will they get from you for the test?

Before you jump to any conclusions, go to your doctor. Check out http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp for any questions you may have. I looked it over, and that site has testing information and such. But as I said, visit your doctor before anything.
Hope I helped. If you need anything else, just send me something. ♥ Kristen

Of course you should tell her. You did something wrong, and now you have to face whatever is going to happen between the two of you. Tell her you are genuinely sorry for what you did.. Send me something if you need more help. ♥ Kristen

Hey! I straighten my hair alot, but my straightner takes at least an hour for me to straighten my hair (and it still does barely anything) does anyone know of a certain brand or type of straightner that will straighten my hair quickly, and make give it that straight glossy look? without frying my hair? tHANKS A BUNCH!

CHI's are probably one of the best, but they're expensive. The one I have is Revlon, and I absolutely love it. It works really good. Basically, you want to look for something with heat settings and gold plates. Hope I helped! ♥ Kristen

well as you know.... iam asking you about friends. iam in grade 8 and i have lots of friends and i think demi linzey jennifer lily kim kelsi sammi and jordana are my best friends..but lately demi, linzey and jennifer have been kinda zoneing(i think thats how u spell it) me out. whats up with them??

Okay so me and this kid have been going on again off again. We always end up breaking up beacause he obviously cant control his hormones,and i always end up taking him back. Well weve been split up for a while now and he wants to start dateing again. I know what could happen but i still like him. what should i do?

Consider this: you basically know how the relationship is going to end. Do you want to keep going through the same thing over and over again? You could always talk to him if you want to go back out with him. Tell him he needs to calm down if he wants the relationship to last. Send me something if you need more help. ♥ Kristen

Does anyone know how to remove a toothpaste stain from a sweater?Sorry if this is a stupid question but I washed it and I tried a stain stick and nothing seems to work!

Use Shout. Let it sit for a little while, then wash it again.

Start flirting with him and get to know him better. Go talk to him in the hallway and ask him what he's doing this weekend, ect. Be yourself around him, and most of all, don't change, he should like you for who you are. Hope I helped! If you need anything else, just send me another question. ♥ Kristen

That happens to my friend sometimes. Get something to eat, and drink some water. If it keeps happening, consider seeing your doctor. Send me something if you need more help. ♥ Kristen

You should think about what would be best for you. Take everything into consideration. You can always make new friends, and stay in contact with others.
Basically, follow your heart. If you think you should try it, then try it. If you need anything else, just send me something. ♥ Kristen

hey im 13/f and i have been shaving since i was 11 but my mom doesnt know cuz i never asked her im way to scared to talk to her about anything
what do i do?
real question:how do i ask my mom that i want to shave?
boy im inbaressed

It's nothing to be embarassed about! Just tell her that you're getting older and you think you need to shave. She probably went though the same thing when she your age, so don't worry about it. If you need anything else, just send me a question! ♥ Kristen

Go to your doctor. They'll be able to help you and prescribe any medicines or something you might need. Hope I helped. ♥ Kristen
