my friends and i are being the fanta girls (fantanas) for halloween. does anyone know where we could get costumes? we dont want the exact costumes, more like a shirt and skirt or something. does anyone know any good stores where we could find those at or have any other ideas of what we could wear? thank you sooo much!

ps: we would need the costumes by the 26th

try going to forever 21, H&M, or charlotte rousse. they have a lot of cool clothes in a lot of different colors and they aren't too expensive.

My right breast really hurts a lot all day today. This never happened before and I'm only 13! At times today it stings inside sometimes but mainly hurts. I was wondering if it's normal, maybe this is the time where milk devolopes on a girl's body, or is it an early sign of breast cancer? I can't ask the doctor because I'm not confortable with a boy touching it and looking at it.

have you gotten your period yet? because sometimes during a girls period her breast can get a little sore.

if not, then like the other girl said, you are probably just developing. and if your too afraid to talk to your doctor about it, then try talking to your mom about it first.

are you choosing your hair color or is someone choosing it for you?

im doing a project in adolescent psychology. and i got stuck with how does peer pressure relate to hair color.

can i have a few opinions for my report it has to be 2-3 pages (doubled space) and how to do my poster? its the hardest topic on the list and i cant find much infomation on it either.

thanks

i think that a persons haircolor sometimes does get affected by peer pressure. like if someone wants to dye their hair blonde but they are afraid of what others might think if they do.

like i've been thinking that i want to dye my hair a golden brown color, but i hesitate because of what others might think. will they think i'm going goth or something?

just an example for you :]

I have a small cat that is 5 years old (own since a kitten) that is starting to poop in my bathtub instead of the litterbox. Any thoughts why?

have you moved his litterbox in any way? or changed the room that it is in? if something is different and it is bothering him then maybe that is why he has starting goinging in your bathtub.

you should probably take him to the vet and ask them why this is happening. in the meantime try moving his litterbox into the bathroom and see if that works.

hi I'm a freshman in highschool and my mom just told me that I need braces I don't want to have braces!. I already have acne and need glaces I'm gonna look like a total geek. I don't know what to do. Is there anyway how I can fix my teeth without using braces?. Is there any invisable one?. Any ideas. Please.

first tell your mom how you feel. and second remember that a lot of other freshman have braces and glasses too. so you won't be the only one.

there are invisable ones, but they are more expensive. here is the link:

Well I was thinking about being a gothic girl for holloween. But since my mom doesn't like holloween she won't buy me a gothic costume. Any ideas what I could wear?. It has to be like things that I could get at home because I have no money thanks!

first you should make sure that dressing up as a "gothic girl" wont offend anybody that you know. because i know that at my school people would be offended. but besides that i would wear black with red accents. like go a little heavy with the black eyeliner. wear maybe a black miniskirt(if your going for the sexy approach) or black pants. for you hair dye it a dark color (like dark brown or black) with red/pink streaks. oh and of coarse black shoes.

good luck with it :]

Have you guys seen in any magazines that black sorta thing that like uses heat to get rid of your pimples? I don't have a lot- just an occasional one.. and i was just wondering if it worked. If anyone knows anything about it that would be great. O yeahh.. and if you know the price- that would be awesome.

i've never used it or anything. so all i can tell you is that it is called zeno.

for halloween, my friends and i are being the fanta girls. we're each being a different color. where could we look to find pieces of our costumes? we're going to try and put it together ourselves. thanks.

okay well here is a picture of the girls:

i don't think that it is so important to find the exact outfit combinations. the most important thing is for you all to be wearing different colors (red, yellow, purple & orange). now i would go to a store like forever 21 or h&m and find similar outfits in those colors. i would also make sure that you wear a belt like the fanta girls do. you could always make the belt too by buying the fabric strips and then the belt buckle. and if you want to go all the way then i would buy wigs or temporaraly dye your hair the different colors.

oh yeah....you should also wear matching headbands and shoes with ribbon wrapped about you legs. here is a picture i found of three girls that dressed up as the fanta girls:

i hope i helped!! and if you have any other questions just ask :]

**EDIT**

okay i found a place where you can buy the costumes!

i don't know how i'm going to study for all of my quarter exams. they start thursday and i'm really worried. i don't know how to study for them. ironically, i get to take all my super hard tests on thursday; algebra 2 honors, AP world history, and chemistry honors. how am i supposed to study for this? how can i get prepared without stressing out so much?

make flash cards! they are amazing :]

My parents decided to let me get a 70 dollar l.l. bean rolling backpack, because I have so much books that I my back hurts if I get a regular backpack. But before I buy it, I was wondering, is a rolling backpack ok for an 8th grader, or is it like out of style and babyish? Like do alot of people have rolling backpacks? Thanks!

well nobody at my school (middle school) has a rolling backpack. i think they are very elematary school. if i were you i'd get a messanger bag which just slings over your shoulder and shouldn't bother your back as much.

like these:

agh i need help pranto!!! well i woke up this morning and everything was fine so then i decided to put ice cubs on my face IDK WHY! i guess i read somewhere that if u do the redness from a blemish goes away??? well after putting the ice cubes on my face got even more red!!! and school starts tomrorow!!! and after the ice cubes i put make up on to try to cover it up but then i didnt wnat to clog up my pores so i fashed my face with an acne scrub then wied it with acne wipes and put acne lotion on but it got EVEN MORE RED!! now i dont know what to do and AGHH IM PANICINING!! because tihs never happened before.... welll one time before when i used this spa treatment thing?? PLEASE HELPPPP!!!

don't touch it for the rest of the night. let it rest. then tonight before you go to bed put a little bit of lemon juice on it and leave it there all night. that should reduce the size of the pimple and reduce the redness.

good luck and whatever you do DON'T pick at it.

Do you know any home recipies that can reduce redness of a sunburn, bc im really red. And tommorow is picture day, Any advice would be Appreciated! thankyou.

i don't have a home remedy, but i know that witch hazel works. you can buy it at most drug stores near the rubbing alcohal.

im bringing a notebook pencils and my lunch tommorow for the first day of school.i dont know what to carry my stuff in.my mom says im not allowed to have a purse until im 16 (im 14) and i cant buy any of this big tote bags like the ones they sell at hollister because my parents claim "they are too expensive" im not going to bring a backpack since its too big so where can i get a smaller bag to carry my stuff in thats not a purse please help any suggestions will be great.

hmm..why can't you have a purse?? well you could try asking your mom if you can use a purse just for the first day of school since its a special day. if she says no, then buy a mini backpack, or a messanger bag.

I'm a 13 year old girl going into 8th grade, and i am getting a new backpack. I was wondering if an llbean one would be out of style or babyish? If so what other kind do you reccomend, and if not, what color should I get. I was thinking pink but is that kind of childish?

well i'm going into 9th grade, and i bought a Jansport backpack.

http://www.jansport.com/js_home.php

i got one in blue because i thought most girls would get pink, and then guys would get black.

this is the one that i got:

I've got scars on my face. Acne scars. How do I get rid of them? Do I use lemon juice? How long will it take?

i know that many brands actually make products to help get rid of acne scars. these products can be found in most drug stores.

http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetails_306.asp?lProductLineID=13

i'm not sure about lemon juice. lemon juice is good to remove a zit, but i'm not sure about scarring. all lemon juice does is dry up your skin, and that won't get rid of scarring.

I have had braces for 3 years. So my teeth are tinted yellow.

Is there toothpaste or teeth whitening products that are cheap and actually work?

all whitening products and toothpastes take time until you see results. you can try using Crest White Stripes, but don't use it if you have sensitive teeth. you can also try a whitening toothpaste, because they are easy to use. just replace the whitening toothpaste with your regular toothpaste.

i bought the veet razorless thing and i used it last thursday and it gave me a few red pimples on my legs and it also made them burn. so today i decided to try it again and this time, it made them burn even more and now i have a lot of red pimples on my legs. i put neosporin on them but that doesn't seen to help very much, so does anyone know what to put on them to make the pimples go away and how long it would take for them to go away even without putting anything on them? thanks so much!

i would suggest going back to using a regular razor. i recommend the venus razor. for the pimples on your legs you can try putting witch hazel on them. witch hazel is a type of astringent for your face & body. you can find it in most drug stores near the rubbing alcohal. i put this on my legs everytime after i shave and it leaves them very smooth and witch hazel is also very soothing and can help take the pain away even from sunburn!

my dad's offering to buy me a used car. what are some cute cars that aren't too awfully expensive?

i really like Toyota Corrola's:

http://www.toyota.com/corolla/index.html?s_van=GM_HOME_FLASH_COROLLA

my mom had a toyota corrola as a rental car while her car was being fixed, and we both fell in love with it. is is small, but seats 5, and is very comfortable. i also trust toyota cars, so that is another advantage to the car.

I usually get my icons and quotes at xanga but does any of you know any other good sites?? Thanks!
