Who cares what everyone else is going to wear! Be yourself and wear what you want. Everyone wears different dresses to formals. If you think your dress is pretty then everyone else will think it's pretty. Hope I helped :)

I have a best friend.. let's call him.. Bob.. Bob has been my best friend since even.. kindergarden. We haven't every been really close though because he's always wanted to fit in with the "in" crowd. He's changed himself from how I used to know him.. and it kills me inside knowing that he wouldn't even think about going out with me. It's funny though.. because he's always hanging around with me, and he acts really cool, and like himself when no one else is around, like if we're talking on AIm. Then when we get into class.. he's this rude, abnoxious, wannabe.. do I just forget him? *sigh* I rate answers.

It's normal to like your best friend but you need to talk to him and tell him that he needs to change how he acts around different people because he shouldn't do that. You have to tell him how you feel about him because he may like you back. Hope I helped :)

Those are so annoying when you're trying to talk to someone. Don't get them. Just go to your regular icon site like http://www.iconator.com, http://www.badassbuddy.com, or http://www.dollbuddieicons.net to find better ones. Hope I helped :)

Im sorry you guys, but I noticed that a LOT of youngins say they love theyre boyfriend or gf...so I was wanting to know, what do you guys consider love...because 13-16 is really young, i dont know I could be wrong, but what do you consider love??

Love is when you can't stop thinking about someone and wanting to be with them forever. Yes, being in love between 13-16 is really young but everyone has a different maturity level.

Okay i know im not fat cause everyone tells me im not fat. lol well im around 5'4-5'5 and i weigh 120lb. i have long legs and like a short w/e you want to call it (like from the top of your but to your neck). Well i feel fat. tell me some ways to loose a few pounds. i cant run cause i like on dead mans curve as we call it and its a narrow road =\ i rate high

Try eating healthier and exercising! Eat 5 small meals instead of 3 big ones so your metabolism will speed up! Drink lots of water and stay away from junk foods. If you are someone who craves food a lot, put an elastic on your wrist and snap it when ever you get a craving. Hope I helped :)

IF a friend says bad things behind your back and you and her are the bestest friends in the world should you still be friends with them? I want to but i don't know if that is right or not??

Yes, you should still be friends with her but not best friends because if you just walk away from a great friendship, how would you and your friend feel? Just talk to your friend and find out why she was talking behind you back and try making up! Hope I helped :)

I wanted to know is it okay to go out with your best friends Ex boifriend?? I knida wawnt to go out with him. But she says it is okay and totally fine with her but i am afraid that might do something to our relationship? Should I go with him or say no because of my friend???...

Yep, you should go out with your best friend's ex-boyfriend, since she said it was alright. But if she just recently just broke up with him, wait a while because she may still have feelings for him, even though she said it was alright for you to go out with him. Don't worry about it, she won't do anything to ruin your relationship. Hope I helped :)

is it normal for a girl to have hair on her nipples?

Yep, it's normal to have hair on a girl's nipple. Try not to do anything to get rid of it. You could tweeze some of it but it's normal so don't do it. Hope I helped :)

I really love the laid-back, hippieish, original style of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen...
Does anyone know where to get clothes that look alot like theirs for not too much money...I'm really not into spending 200 dollars on a teeshirt:-P

They have their own clothing line at Walmart but that's for little kids. Try going to their website (http://www.marykateandashley.com) and it may tell you how they dress. Hope I helped :)

Well it all depends on how your body works. You can probably lose any where about 10-20 pounds but that may not be the exact range because it takes a while to lose weight. Hope I helped :)

There is this boy at my school who is soooooooooo hot. I really like him. He always smiles at me andwhen he walks by me he walks really slow and is smiling. Does he like me?

I will rate

He is definitely interested or attracted to you but I can't tell if he likes you! Since you haven't talked to him, try doing that so you can find out if he does like you. Or you could ask a friend to find out! Hope I helped :)

hi... after about a week after i had my period i had sex for the first time.... and i didnt use protection. ( bad mistake) and.. now its been about 4 weeks and ive been feeling abit sick ( but i usually get like this when im going to have my periods) and i havent got them yet and im really scared that i could be pregnant.. and when i felt up my virgina i felt this weird thing inside me.. could this be and unborn baby i might have??? pleace help, im really scared about this

There is a possiblity that you could be pregnant but what you felt up in your vagina was not a fetis because you won't be able to feel it. Try taking a pregnancy test. If you start to get morning sickness then you may be pregnant. Hope I helped :)

At school...im popular, but im kind of ugly. i like boys but they dont like me back more than a friend. At dances im afraid to ask boys to dance and they never ask me. I'm not afraid of dancin with them i'm just afraid if they'll say yes or no. It's the same reason why i dont ask boys to go out with me or something. To top it off, im at a brand new school this year and i dont really know what they would say, if they're like the boys at my old school or not. What should I do?

Just ask some people around and find out what they say. Do't worry, who cares about looks! Guys will say yes. Just take a chance and ask them! Hope I helped :)

ok, i have a thin body, like a really thin waist, but i have reallyyy big hips and a big butt...which is nice to a certain extent, but i want my hips and upper thighs to be a little thinner...any exercises anyone knows of that are good?

You really can't do anything about your hips because it's just bone but are you talking about the layer of skin above it? Those are called love handles and you can do side crunches to get rid of the fat. For your thighs, here's a website of exercises for them: http://www.lhj.com/home/Thigh-Exercises.html. Hope I helped :)

i feel really caught up inside myself. like i like this guy jake and he likes me but i haven't told anyone b/c my friend alexia just came out of a sort of relationship with him (basically he was off limits to people INCLUDING NOW!) i know that might sound selfish but that's just how alexia is. anyways i just want to go out with him but he won't ask me out b/c of alexia. i dont know what i should do as far as asking him out or just talking to him.

Hey, don't go out with this guy, wait for your friend to get over him but that may take a while. Just talk to this guy and flirt with him. He will eventually get over your friend and will ask you out. Hope I helped :)

i am going to be 14 soon nd i took a cpr class and i like children but i have never babysat before and i really want to but everyone always asks my older sister first and i would put up flyers but thats dangerous, what should i do?

Just talk to your sister and ask if you can babysit one of her "customers" next. Maybe she can tell everyone about you and then the word will go around and people will know about you. Hope I helped :)

well there is this boy in my class lets name him john and for some odd reason he always goes out with everyones best friends and he just went out w/ my bff so im next in line. The only problem is that every1 just went out with him because they knew of wut he was doing which they thought was so retarded but i actually do like him and if my friends no i do they'll prob. laugh so what do i do

I wouldn't go out with him because he would be using you in a way because he has this pattern of his. But if you like him, give him a chance and go out with him but if you decide that you don't like him, just dump him. Just ignore your friends if they laugh at you. Hope I helped :)

i was just wonderin... well i just got my period for the first time yesterday and i wanted to know how many pads your supposed to go trough it one day?

Hey, there isn't a certain number of pads that you are supposed to go through a day because every girl's flow is different, depending if it's heavy or not. You should go through about 3-5 a day! Hope I helped :)
