Yeah you have to buy demin clothe and sew it. It doesn't relly come out good actually it's stifff and the color is like relly weird!!!! Anywhere you have to get a design for the jeans (the one you want) and cut and sew. It'll look good i guess

Q: The hairstylist cut my bangs crooked and too short. I'm not sure what to do. They look ugly. I can't pin them up because that looks even worse. Do you have any suggestions on making them look half decent?
Thanks in advance XD

Make sure you don't put them behind your ears. Try like clipping back or use a headtie. You also should consider re-trimming it

Q: should your boyfriend/girlfriend come before your best friend?

please explain too ♥ thanks.

Normally your boyfriend//girlfriend should be your best ffriend but sometimes you just need someone else to talk to. I think best friends, howveer, should be higher ranked than a bf//gff simply because you always have your best friend with and near you while you may break up with ur bff///gf and it may never be the same. Thnk about it and you have to decide!!

HOPE I HELPED

Q: What is anemia? My friend said that when you get it you have it for the rest of your life or something? Is that true? What happens when you get it? Ill rate 5s.

YAY! My bio work is payin offf! lol
Anaemia is wen the body didn't have enough iron. Yeah you can have it for the rest of your life if you don't eat iron rich foods when you now get it.

Sickle cell anaemia however is when a bloodcell gets out of shape..and that one is more inherited and of course it's a lifetime disease.

Hope I helped n if u need more info contact me on my column

Q: In english, I'm supposed to come up with a creative way to portray anything important in any of the books we've read all year .. and I can't come up with anything.

It's almost totally free. People have drawn pictures, done artwork, written poetry, and reenacted things in the books in the past. I'm willing to do anything that doesn't involve singing or acting but I just can't think of anything creative enough. (Some people in the past have done things like: done a paper mache bust of Othello, illustrated a Mah Jong table from Joy Luck Club, and written poetry on an old-fashioned looking scrawl for Othello.) So I was wondering if someone could help me come up with something.

We've read, this year: A Tale of Two Cities, The Joy Luck Club, 1984, Lord of the Flies, and Othello.

Thanks!

Why not make jokes...or buttons or t-shirts. How about cuting a box in half and taking a scene and makin items and objects like how it looked

Q: Im 15/f and i tend to sweat a lot. Even if im not cold i sweat under my arm pits without even knowing it. I always want to wear a sweatshirt over my t-shirt because it gets bad. Yes i wear deoderant! I've tried like every kind out there and nothing seems to take away the wetness. Its embarrasing because everytime i lift up my arms people see this big ole sweat "puddle" is there anything that will help??? Thanks a lot!!!

Make sure you shave thouse armpits! And use a good anti persperant. I'd tell you secret but I don't know if it'll work. The best thing is go to a doctor or the local cosmetics place and see what's the best thing to use that won't make you itch!

Q: I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for; what kind of advice I need. I don't even know if I need advice.

I'm 13/f, btw.

Last year (2005), during the summer, I met with a guy I knew over the internet. He'd told me that he was 14, and lived about 30 miles from my house. I met up with him, and well, it turned out he wasn't exactly what I expected. Things happened, that, well, weren't exactly supposed to happen. I personally just don't like the term "rape" but sure, lets use it. Since, no matter how much I hate the word, it's what happened.

I've done a pretty good job at hiding it from everyone. Luckily, I have heavy periods, and so I was on the pill at the time to make my bleeding lighter, so I didn't get pregnant. I was 12 at the time. Should I be hiding it from everyone? I've told three people so far. One of them, it was on accident, but she ignored it as if I had never said it. I've also told a good guy friend of mine, let's call him Anthony, but I don't think I can really trust him with the information. And I've also told my boyfriend, let's call him Andrew. He thinks I should tell someone, the poliece, or something. But I refuse to. It's just a weird feeling. I don't really want people to know, I don't really want people to do anything about it. But I don't know, should I tell more people? Like my mom, or the poliece? The guy, well, he told me that if I ever told anyone about it he'd track me down and kill me. And I know some people would think it stupid to listen to a threat like that, but I don't know. I really just don't know what to do. It's like it keeps coming back to haunt me. I was doing a good job at ignoring it, forgeting about it, but lately, it just hasnt been working.

Sorry it's so long.

Yes that is a creepy scary thing. Now think of it...the first person that should know is your mom or dad, sister, brother or even aunt, uncle or grand parent.

Okay and then I would tell the police...no offence but can u imagine many other girls going through the same thing because you didn't tell anyone. Well that's what I think!

Hope you tell your parents even if not the police.
Good lcuk with everything

Q: Hey there. Well ill get straight to it. Im 14 years old, and im a devoted christian. Thing is i was born into christianity but my family are backsliders so now im back into church. Before church i dressed..sorta punk (i really dislike labels) anyways when i became christian, i somehow became involved with rap? because of some of the boys at my church. *bad influences* but now im back to my normal self liking everything i like..but i dont know how i want to be anymore! I have to wear skirts all the time..i like this guy that goes to a dif church..and he doesnt seem to like either..ugh im so confused. anyone who took the time to read this and reply, i def. will rate high.

Well I can't say sstop church because god is the best person you can have. I'm not a christian and I also get steriotyped into groups. Ok I'm a muslim rite so people think you can't do special things like go limin and partyin. When I do these things I don't goo of my word by drinkin or smoking I jus am there to enjoy and have a little fun. Just because you're a christian doesn't mean you have to cut back or things just know your limit. You say you have to wear skirts all the time...why can't you wear a long baggy jeans? Anyway I think you should be your christian self but do a little justice to yourself.
I'm 14 too and I know that people are rarely conused about these things so I think you should jus make a decision you agree with. Basically what I'm saying is be a christian but you can do some fun things (music, clothes) but have your limit!
You

Q: ok so this guy asked me out. and i dont know if i like him or not. he is really nice and cool and i dont want to hurt his feelings by saying no. but i dont know if i like him!

PLEASE HELP!!! ill rate 5's for anything.

The point to go out with him is to know him more. I think you should...you might realise you relly like him!

Q: 15f

I'm 4"10 very petite but I have 34D boobs. They dnt look as big as they sound but they sure feel like it. I hate them! They hurt me sooo much. My back has been hurting a lot lately and I just don't know what to do about them. My mom doesn't want me to get breast reduction because even though its done at my age she says that it hurts and they've gotten smaller. But they havnt any suggestions?

Wow...ur pretty lucky! Alot girls in my grade who are like relly tall and stuff have noooo boobs. Try using sports bras it'll keep them close to you

Q: 15f

I have a teacher that's really mean. 4 some reason she just doesn't like me! But 4 some reason that's not new. I don't know what it is. I'm a great student and I get great grades in her class but she will find some stupid little punctuation mark that wasn't in the correct place and she will give me like an F. My mom and my friends mom are on to her because she has a problem with both of us and suddenly we've been getting better grades in her class

Another teacher just talks to me very rudly. She talks 2 everyone that have their hands up normally and I raise my hand and she literally yells at me 2 put it down.

I also don't have any friends at school. All the students trat me badly and as I'm walking down the hall people always give me bad looks and I just don't understand why! I'm the nicest person ever. I'm really nice to people. My quinces was a few months ago and I invited my whole grade just 2 be nice and there was this life size manican that my mom had made for me and someone took the "hair" or the wig w/e u call it and it was found in the toilet of the girls bathroom.

Why are people so mean to me? My mom says that its because I'm very pretty and people just get jealous. Not to be modest or anything but I dnt find myself unattractive. But there are other pretty girls in my school why hate me? There is this girl in our school who is an abercrombie and fitch model why can't they not like her? I've been in the school since second grade... And this year is almost over.... So u can already say that I've been there for practically nine years. Why are these people like this?

Any help would be appreciated

I apologize if itd lengthy I got carried away there

Yeah my teachers are like that almost all the time...esp. my history teacher who totally dtest me! YIKES!!!

Anyway yeah it's prob that they jealous you....I'm pretty and sorta rich n almost all the kids hate me or have something bad to say.

Q: Every year, our school has a senior tshirt design competition. My friends have all made awesome designs, but I want to make one too, just for fun. Any ideas?

The only colors allowed are red, black, and white. The shirts are white, and our school mascot is the scorpion.

Well why don't yah do a grafiti thing. I actually think it's a good idea. draw a scorpian on the front and you can do the grafitti in the back or the tee or the background of the scorpian!!
