okay my moms birhtday is here today and we are gonna go to the store to get her somthing such as wal_mart what should I get her for her birthday
please answer this quesion i will rate fives for good answers (link)

Wal-mart has some cheap perfume there.. I don't know what your price range is, but they have bottles of designer perfume for around $30. If that's a little too much, then look around in the cosmetic department.. like around the lotions and stuff. They sometimes have gift baskets with bubble bath, soap, and body spray for around $7.

My best friends friend who i meet on AIM, is now my boyfriend...i havent met him yet but we say i love you and stuff. I'm not sure if i really want to break up with him but i dont want to have my first kiss with him. I mean he's nice but not cute, and i dont know if i should tell him i dont want to kiss him becuase he said he really wanted to,can anyone help me? (link)
| |
Well, first of all, you're 13 and therefore have no business dating guys you meet on the internet. That's just begging for trouble. You should break up with him because you're obviously not as into the relationship as he is. Even if you haven't met him, it's not fair to let him believe you really are in love with him when it's obvious that you're not.

i wanna make my myspace pretty. so can someone give me like two really good colors that blend really good and it would be really pretty! thanks so much! (link)
| |
There are tons of options... I would reccomend using the program called Thomas's Myspace editor. There's a link to it on my page. (myspace.com/Megan_69) This is a really great way to do it because there's a button that lets you see what your page is gonna look like before you post it. As for good color combinations: hot pink and white, black and white, red and black, neon green and black, and blue and white. Use the myspace editor and play around with it. You'll eventually find something that looks good.

okay well i really like this one guy.. and i mean hes like soo soo perfect... and i know hes noticed me and i think we might have a chance of going out cuz were already friends and i just dont know what to do.. i mean i no i cant ask him out soo please help me please hes soo important to me but he just doesnt know that..
signed so so confused..
*I RATE* please answer me soon* (link)
| |
If you really like the guy that much, it's okay to ask him out. It's not like it's the 1950's anymore. I don't blame you for not wanting to make the first move, though. I don't usually like to either. If you guys just started hanging out together, maybe you should wait until you know him better before getting into a relationship. You might find out that you'd rather just have him as a friend, as opposed to a boyfriend. These things take time, and if it's real, you'll know it after awhile. It's sometimes really hard to tell the difference between love and lust.

I'm on the cusp of girls sizes and junior sizes. The thing is, I don't like any of the girls styles anymore. I love the stuff at american eagle but I just can't fit into it. I can't even wear abercrombie jeans becaus I have a large butt and a small waist so the waist is always big and the butt fits. What do I do?? I found a pair of really nice tractor pants at Bloomingdales, but thats just ONE pair!!! (link)
| |
Some of the higher end brands of jeans have jeans that fit people who aren't shaped like sticks. Brands like Blue Asphalt (from Wet Seal), DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, and Silver are some of the best ones I've found so far. I'm not exactly as tiny as you are, but I've got the same problem. You might have to pay more for these brands, but they're made better and they'll probably fit a lot better. Another brand that's pretty good about the way they fit is Glo. These are fairly inexpensive (around 25-30 dollars) and you can get them at placese like JcPenny and Kohls.

Is it safe to wear a tampon to sleep in? I'll probably sleep around 9 hours tonight .. I'm just not sure if that's safe (TSS). If I wear a pad, it usually leaks and gets on my shorts im wearing to bed. What should I do? (link)
| |
It's not healthy to keep a tampon in for 9 hours straight at all. You could maybe get away with sleeping with a tampon in if you wake up in the middle of the night and change it. What I would reccomend is getting some of those pads that are made especailly for night time. They're longer and more absorbant than regualr ones. That should help keep it from getting on your shorts.

this guy i have been hanging out with said that he wanted us to be friends nothing more, but maybe in time we could be bf and gf. I was fine with that. i heard later (from a girl that i trust) that he had a girlfriend. I asked him and he denied it. i dont care that he has a gf...its just we have made out and done stuff together...now i feel like a slut. What should i do with this guy? forget about him or still be his "friend." (link)
| |
I think you should forget him and get on with your own life. If a guy can't even be straight up with you about having a girlfriend, then he's not worth the effort. You shouldn't feel like a slut for doing stuff with this guy, especaily if you didn't know he had a girlfriend. I seriously doubt you would have done those things if you had known about his significant other at the time.

I'm 17, and I have my first job interview ever at ShopKo on Friday. The only problem is that I don't know what appropriate attire for an interview is. What am I supposed to wear? (link)
| |
A good way to go about dressing for an interview is to not wear anything less dressy than the people who work there. I would reccomend wearing something nice, but not too dressy. Like, a button up shirt and nice pants. Anything that's excessiveley trendy, tight, loose, or sloppy is probably going to lose the job for you.

ok homecoming is on the 1st of Oct. for me and my mom said that I cant go if i dont have a date... But i still REALLY want to go, I mena it is my FIRST homecoming. Does anyone know any sites to get pretty, and unexpensive dresses? Thanks soo much! ♥ (link)
| |
There are lots of places with cute dresses. Just do a google search of the stores close to your town. Most of the nicer stores should have websites with pictures of the kinds of dresses they have. Right now is a good time to find dresses on clearance, so you might try going shopping and seeing what's out there and what kind of styles look good on you. It's a bad idea to order a dress online because you might not like how it looks once it's on you and dress sizes vary from brand to brand.

I had that same problem the last time I was editing my profile. What you have to do is use the HTML tag < br > (without the spaces) after each thing that you want on a seperate line.

Hi i got a letter in the mail (yeah mail lol) and its from People to People International. Its says im invite to travel and study in England Wales and Ireland (many places i would love to go). Well i called the place and they said i could Better Business Beau ( i guess thats haow its spelled) and they said the trip will cost around 2,600-5,200 depending if i do fundraisers or qualify for scholarships. Now heres my questions
1. Has anyone done this or anything else from the place/ company i guess you call it
2. is that a good price considering im in florida.?
Thank you for all your help
~Melissa
P.S. i know my spelling and grammer isnt the best so please try and excuse it. (link)
| |
Those companys send those invitations to everyone. I get them all the time, so it's not like it's some exclusive club. I wouldn't reccomend going on one of those trips because even if you do all the fundraisers and stuff, I would imagine they hit you with a bunch of extra hidden costs that you didn't agree to. If you really want to do something like this, you should call the Better Business Beauru to check out the company. If they don't have a good reputation or if the Better Business Beauru has never heard of them, DO NOT SEND THEM YOUR MONEY.

Hey. Im 17 years old, and my boyfriend is 21 years old. We live together and everything, but one night, when we were having sex, we didnt even notice the condom slip off. Well, he came inside of me, and then we looked frantically for a condom we though was still on. The next day it came out of me, but there was no cum in it or anything. it was as clear as it was when it first came on. Also, im not on birth control. It has been 2 weeks since, and I was just wondering if there is any chance of getting pregnant. Also, it was only 2 or 3 days after my period. So, can i? (link)
| |
It's possible that you might be pregnant, but the chances of you getting pregnant are greater in between your cycles. Any time there's unprotected sex, accidental or not, you run the risk of getting pregnant. If you miss your period the next time you're supposed to get it, make sure you take a home pregnancy test just to make sure.

Do you believe in the devil? (link)

Fellow atheists: I have a friend who is a militant Christian, meaning, she thinks it's her job to convert everyone who isn't Christian into one, including me. She knows I'm atheist, but it really bothers me when she tells me that I'm going to hell for not believing in Christian ways. I've told her many times that I don't believe in a god, afterlife, or book of worship. Yet, she still has the nerve to constantly bring up "god" and how I NEED to be a Christian. Other than that, she's cool. Are there any ideas on how to get through to her that I really don't want her help when it comes to religion? I'm going to snap if she comments to me one more time. (link)
| |
I'm a fellow atheist. I've been one for about 8 of my 16 years of life. The only way to handle friends that are like this is to tell them that you're not interested in pursuing any religious ventures at this time. I've had to deal with it many times. You should probably be straight up with your friend, as that's probably the only way to get through to her. Tell her that you love being her friend and hope to continue being her friend in the future, but you don't want her help when it comes to religion, and God, and things of that nature. Make sure you say it like you mean it... because otherwise her behavior won't stop. If the talk doesn't work, just tell her that if she contines to push her faith on you that you will no longer be talking to her. It's harsh, I know, but sometimes it's the only way.

Well, my mother doesn't like me hanging with almost everyone that I want to be around. She always complains about every single person that I'm friends with or trying to be friends with she hates. She usually complains about their wealth, looks or just some other characteristic.
And just recently I've been banned from the mall for no reason at all.
Another thing they wont let me have a boyfriend, not even let me talk to boys on the phone. And I'm 13! I'ev already got some people asking if I'm... bi or lesbian :/ and I'm not. I have a boyfriend right now, secretly. But I want to know what to do in the means of going on dates and whatnot.
My mother always laughs at me when I bring the subject of boys up. It really lowers my self-confidence in a way. D: I don't know what to do... (link)
| |
I think all parents hate their kids friends when they start being teenagers... My mom did the same thing when I was 13. I think she probably thinks that this is the age where you're more likely to get mixed in with the wrong crowd and get into trouble, so she wants to keep you as far away from trouble as possible. Stupid, I know, but it gets better, trust me. As for being banned from the mall, if you did something at the mall to warrant a banning from security personel, then you should, indeed, be banned. If you're talking about your mom not trusting you to go there by yourself, that's another issue. If you really want to go to the mall, just go with your mom, no matter how embarassing you think it is. You'll go if you really want the shopping that badly. Not allowing you to even talk to boys on the phone seems a little strict, even for the most overprotective of parents... I can see why they don't want you to have a boyfriend because dating in junior high is rather pointless. Everyone does it, but it's not the same thing as dating when you get older. Your boyfriend can't ususally pay for the things that guys traditionally pay for, he can't pick you up in his OWN car.. without his parents, etc. I wouldn't reccomend sneaking around to try to see this guy outside of school. In the end, you'll always get caught for sneaking around and it's not worth it. If your school has dances, that would be a good oppertunity to see your boyfriend.

do you think i should be scared to use a tampon? I'm 13 and this will be my first time. I'm afraid I'm going to put it in wrong. Will it hurt?I keep telling myself that i can do it but then i back out. (link)
| |
Tampons are nothing to be scared of, but if you think it's going to hurt, you should buy some of those "slim fit" ones. They're more narrow than normal ones and are really good for people who aren't used to using tampons. It's not any big deal to put them in, just make sure you get it in all the way.

i'm 14 years old, and i was raped about a month ago. my friend got helped me get a couple of pregnancy tests, and they all turned up positive. i'm really scared to tell my parents, because i was at a party that i wasn't supposed to be at when it happened. i'm a volleyball player for my school, and last year we almost won the championships. i don't want to throw my entire life away, but i know that i would never be able to put my baby up for adoption. i'd wonder every day if she/he was safe, or if they hated me for abandoning them. i'm strongly against abortion...but i'm starting to wonder if maybe that's the right choice in this situation. i haven't told either of my parents yet...should i keep the baby or is abortion ok sometimes? (link)
| |
You NEED to tell your parents about the pregnancy. They also deserve to know exactly how it happened. They'll probably be mad about you going to the party, but it's important for you and the unborn child to get the right care. Go to a doctor and have them do another pregnancy test, just to make sure you really are pregnant. Make sure you carefully research all the choices that you have to make. Look at the up and down sides of keeping the baby, giving it up for adoption, or getting an abortion. If it were me in this situation, and this is just me speaking, I don't think I could keep a baby that was a result of a rape. I don't think I could look at the baby and not think of the day I got raped. I believe that I would have an abortion because it would just suck to find out that you were adopted and that you were only born because a woman got raped by some criminal. You really need to tell your parents what's going on. They might be mad about that party, but they'll want to help you get through this because you're their daughter and they love you. You might even want to get into some therapy sessions to help you cope with the emotional damage of being raped. It'd also be a good idea to file a police report about your rape. If you remember anything about the guy who did this, just tell the police about it. That might stop that sick person from raping another girl. If you have any questions or anything.. feel free to send me a message.

hey,, well my brother has a friend,, his friend is 17 and im 13, joe, his friend and me a pretty tight, and stuff,, i really like Joe but idk if he likes me, and even when his g/f is there, hell look at me alot..his g/f is also 13..but shes ugly and he doesnt like her that much,, so, like, what should i do?? (link)
| |
You can like Joe without dating him. Girls have crushes on their older brother's friends all the time. It's perfectly natural. I highly reccomend that you don't go for him, though, because any 17 year old guy who isn't interested in dating someone a little closer to his own age is just plain sleezy. You are WAAAAAY too young for him... and his girlfriend, ugly or not, is also Waaaaay too young for him. I advise you to look into dating someone a little closer to your own age.
|
|
Ok my cousin and i are really good friends but in the past two years iv e developed a crush for him.. i dotn know what to do should i tell him and is it normal to like your cousin(im a 13 year old girl) (link)
| |
It's definaltly not normal to have romantic feelings for your cousin. It's illegal in most states for a reason. You should probably try to avoid hanging out with your cousin as much in the future until you stamp out your "feelings" for him that aren't family-oriented. There's no reason to tell him about this... it might just scare him off and ruin what there is of a friendship. What I suggest is to start hanging out with guys from school instead of your cousin. Try dating a few of them, even....

I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend until im 14 or 15. is this fair? why? (link)
| |
I think it's fair. I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend when I was 11... which I hated at that point, but I think it's fair nevertheless. At that young of an age.. you shouldn't be worried about dating, it's way too soon. You won't even have a drivers liscense for another five years. Most 11 year olds aren't even allowed to go to the mall by themselves. What's the point in having a boyfriend you're not allowed to go on real dates with? That's just stupid.
