Hey, im having some friends over and were going to just have a girls night... so i was wondering on some ideas on gurly movies like Crazy/Beautiful, Crossroads... just gurly movies lol or any other really good movies you have to reccomend. thanks buches!

Well "The Notebook" is coming out on February 8th so you can't watch that. You could watch: "Mean Girls, 13 Going on 30, Legally Blonde 1 and 2, White Chicks, Bring It On and Bring It On Again, Maid in Manhatten, Sweet Home Alabama, My Best Friend's Wedding, Uptown Girls, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, A Walk to Remember, 16 Candles, Napolean Dynamite, Pirates of the Carribean, Chasing Liberty, What a Girl Wants, Sleepover, and The Prince and Me." There are so many others but those are just the movies that I like. Hope I helped :)

I really like this one kid at my school, but i also like someone else, The one kid is someone i could tell anything and he is really easy to talk to but im not sure if he likes me. The other kid is madly in love with me but im not sure if hes the right one. What should i do?

Try to find out if the guy that you could tell anything to likes you back. I would go out with the first and if it doesn't work out, then you don't need to have a boyfriend for now. Hope I helped :)

So my two good friends are fighting, and no one can seem to get them back together. I'm okay with this, but whats most annoying is the way they fight/talk about each other behind their backs. I'm tired of it and want some help. Any advice?

Try to stay out of this and let them work this out. They will eventually. For now, just let them know how you feel about how you don't want them to talk about each other. Hope I helped :)

I'm having my 16th b-day party tomorrow, and I have no idea what to do for games. There'll be about 8 people there. Does anyone have any ideas for games for bored high-school students? Lol, thanks!

Is it a coed party? If so, you can play Truth or Dare, 7 Minutes in Heaven, Twister, Spin the Bottle, and etc. Hope I helped :)

I can never wake up in the morning. Anyone have any tried and true ways to wake up in the morning? I hate coffee and I don't have time to take a shower in the morning. Thank ya!

Try going to bed a few hours earlier than you usually do. If you have an alarm clock, change the sound so it's really loud or you could get another one so you'll wake up from all the noise. Try listening to the radio or wash your face with cold water. That always helps for me. Hope I helped :)

Alright there is these two guys... the first one is the one I lost my virginity to and I really care for him.. The second one I haven't done anything with him except hold hands....except when I hold his hand I can't stop thinking about my the first guy and Im not a player or a slut or anything but what should I do and do you think I still have feelings for the first guy

Yup, you definitely still having feelings for the guy that you lost your virginity too. You will always remember your feelings for a guy, especially the one you lost your virginity too. Try not hanging out with the guy that you didn't do anything with because you may be leading him on and he might start liking you. How would you feel if someone did that to you? Hope I helped :)

K so there's this guy.. let's call him Jack. Jack's pretty cute. Not really hot.. but cute. He's also on the swim team, and I guess you'd call him a 'hugger' I don't know him that well but whenever i see him he hugs me.. so basically how can you tell if a hugger likes you? He hugs like everyone! O but just the girls.. haha thanks!

Well since he likes to hug a lot of girls, you can't be sure that he likes you. Why don't you talk to him and find out if he does? For now, just be happy that you're getting all of these hugs by him. Hope I helped :)

There is this girl Amanda at my school. She is one of my really good friends. But sometimes I think otherwise. When girls usually go to school they try and get all "dolled up" for the guy they want to impress. I get all "dolled up" so Amanda wont tell me that I don't look good or that my hair looks bad. Is she a real friend or not? What should I do?
Thank you;
Jessica

She doesn't sound like a good friend; does she critize you all the time? Just wear what you want to wear and ignore Amanda. You're the one who chooses what to wear, not her. Just talk to her and tell her about how you feel about criticism. Hope I Helped :)

when the slop of a line is 12/0 (12 over 0) is is 0 or undefined? when the zeros on the top is it 0 or undefined?

O is undefined (it's that sign with an "o" with a slash going through it) because you whenever you divide something with a number above zero, it will always be undefined. If zero is over "12", it will be zero. Hope I helped :)

i like a guy, lets call him k, who is 2 years older than me. i`m a freshman and he`s a sophmor. he knows that i like him, and he isnt afraid to talk about it, he calls me and talks to me about how he knows i like him. But last night we talked on the phone and through text messages:
me--hey do you think you`ll ever like me cause i dont wanna like you if nothings ever gonna happen
k-- well i dont like you now but i might later..
me-- ok, well i`m not shur i wanna wait around... :-\
k-- i`m not telling you to wait around i just think it could work another time but not now.

then he called me and it was enough for one nite to know he doesnt like me, but then he goes "yeah, i`m 2 years older than you, thats kind of a lot.. and i dont rele see you as a gf to me... your more of a friend.." he says all of this RELE nice and casually tho... i`m rele mad at him, but i dont rele have a reason to be.. it`s just becuase he broke my heart.. should i be mad, should we still be friends, should i try to stop liking him, should i try to get him????? thanx if you could help

Don't stop liking him. Before he told you that he doesn't want you as a girlfriend but only had a friend, he told you that he may like you in the future. Maybe the reason he said that he doesn't want you as a girlfriend was because you always talk about liking him and he is now irritated by that. Keep talking to him but don't talk to him about how you feel. Hope I helped :)

Ok...Me and Kris like each other but he kinda has these days where he acts likea totally diffretn person...what do I do...IM with any questions

Try talking to him and tell him how you feel. Does he have different mood swings everyday? If so, he may be bipolar (having different mood swings). Hope I helped :)

hey, ok well i like this boy..i'm a girl and i'm 13 lol, and well i think he kind of likes me too. like when i leave my classes (he has class right after me) well he like always comes over me and talks to me and he calls me his "best buddy" lol and like one time a bunch of guys came over to me asking for cupcakes when i brought them in for a party thing..and e screamed like "you did not just touch my girlfriend!!" but yeah..i really like him..and do you think he likes me? and how can i get him to like me even more? thanks for your help!!

He definitely likes you or is interested in you. I think the line "you did not just touch my girlfriend" was definitely a big sign that he likes you. To get him to like you even more, talk to him and be flirty with him. Hope I helped :)

When I do crunches or ab workouts, my abs shake really bad.

When I just bend up for a crunch, it shakes horribly and I don't know why. Maybe my muscles are weak? Thanks in advance!

Did you just start doing abdominal exercises? If so, your abdominal muscles are just not used to the work out and they are weak. Just keep on doing the exercises and you'll get used to it. Hope I helped :)

my friend is well a "slut" because she goes from boy to boy and the only reason why she does is because she thinks they are cute but recently my other friend broke up with her bf and now my "slut" friend wants to go out with him what should i do because they are both my friends but i dont want any of them to get mad at me...what should i do?

Try to stay out of this because since they are your friends, you may cause some problems. You could talk to them but I don't know if that would work. Hope I helped :)

Talk to him and tell him how you feel. Ask him if he likes you again. Simple as that. Hope I helped :)

An hour ago I burnt my hand with hot water and it feels really hot and hurts how can I fix it>?

Well there really isn't anything you can do; only running your hand under cold water and then puting cream on it or vaseline. Hope I Helped :)

I'm about to buy a new straightener and I wanna make sure I get a good one this time.. I need some advice on what kind of straightener to get (cereamic, glass, gold, etc). I want one that will NOT ONLY straighten my hair really well, but also make it STAY straight all day. What do u all recommend? (something cheap, not over $30) Thanks!! i'll rate HIGH!!

Well the only kind of straightener that I know you could buy under $30 and that's a ceramic is a Revlon one. All the other kinds are cheap and don't work that great. I have a Helen of Troy flat iron that cost $150. Hope I helped :)

what are crunches? and how do you do them

Crunches are jsut like sit ups except you put your hands behind your head. You just lay down on the floor and lift yourself up just a little bit and then you go back down. Hope I helped :)
