I'm inviting 4 of my best friends over for a small group gathering party. We're going to the movies, which'll take up like 4 hours.. But do you guys have anymore ideas.. Thanks XO
ok... assuming you're a girl... and all of your guests will be girls too... these are my suggestions.
You could always play truth or dare.... classic
Board Games! Lol as dorky as it sounds.... they can be fun!
Circle Stories, you and your guests all sit in a circle, and one person starts telling a story, the next person must continue it, and so on and so on, until someone ends it.
Use Kool-Aid and Water to temperaily dye your hair (well streak it at least)
Have everybody write an if/then sentance "ie: If I won the lotto, then i would buy a horse" put the IF part on one piece of paper and the THEN part on another piece of paper. then put the IFs in one hat or bag or whatever, and the THENs in another. If you used the sentance above and another sentance like "If I knew how to cook chicken, then i would cook it and eat it" you could come up with a combonation like "If i knew how to cook chicken, then i would buy a horse!"
Have everybody write postcards to each other, then mail them... everyone loves getting mail!!
If you and your friends like cooking, bake cookies, or make a cake, or even make something exotic like Sushi!
Make Ice Cream!
Your party could have a carnival or Island theme
Set up an area seprated from the party room with sheets hanging from the ceiling and make it a photo booth. Include Disposable cameras and lots of intresting props!
Do a craft project... like making pillows or Purses, or decorating Pillowcases and such
Have a scanvenger hunt!
Make a "Walk of Fame." Get a long piece of paper,and then make large paper stars. Have your guests Sign their name on their star, and paint their hands and put their Hand prints on the stars. Glue the stars on your long piece of paper.
Have everyone split into teams and make toliet paper dresses, or make them as a group for everyone. Then everyone model their dresses on a runway!
Give everyone a paper and a pencil and have them write down their favorite color, movie, book, food, and animal without showing anyone else. Put everyone's paper into a hat or bag, etc. and then mix them up. Pull them out and read them aloud one by one. see if everyone can guess which paper belongs to each person.
Make a Music Video! get an adult to let you use their video camera, and have everyone pick a song they like. Print out the lyrics to it, and have someone video tape everybody singing the song. You are gonna need to rehersae a little, especially if you wanna do cool stuff. Make sure to have props on hand!
I hope these ideas helped! If you need anything else or more party ideas, please please ask! lol I love parties!

wow..ok i just wanted to tell you you give GRRREEATT advice!! and i have a question..ok well i dont know why but like EVERYONE at my school thinks im a hoe/whore/slut and it makes me SO mad! because i've went out with a lil over 10 guys this year..and the thing they asked me was..Will you give me head? so i guess the guys in the locker room are talkin about how such a BIG hoe/whore/slut i am..and now i just get asked out either because my boobs or the rumors that people spread! gaww..i cant stand it!
signed,
FED UP!
Thanks for the compliment! lol. Well do you dress in a way that guys might think your a slut? like sexy? Also... i'm not sure why, but people if you've got big boobs.... people always seem to think that your a slut. And if you joke around about sexual things... that could also make people view you as a slut. If you want people to stop thinking of you as a slut (and guys to stop thinking of you as a sex toy) then I'd suggest maybe changing your image a little bit. And whenever the subject comes up in converstation say stuff like "o ya, i've never given anyone head, or had sex" unless you have... in that case that's probably the reason people think your a slut. be a little less sexual in your dress and attitude, and maybe they'll start viewing you as a respectable person! Sorry i took soo long to answer! and i hope this helps.... i wasnt sure of very much backround info so it was difficult! But feel free to ask anymore questions!

i REALLLLY like this guy! like a ton. i went out with him before..but then he was going into high school and i would still be in middle school..and i thought it would be too hard so i broke up with him. ERGH..now he has a girlfriend and they've been going out for like 4 months! i seriously have never liked anyone as much as him. i've called him a few times and i talk to him online and i think he still has feelings for me but it just using his girlfriend to make ME jealous (which is working!) lol. should i keep trying? or just give up on him? PLeASe HeLp! Thanks so much!*
Whoa... careful with the whole "I think he's using her to make me jealous." If they've been going out for 4 months... well that's awhile. If you've let it show that it's getting to you at all... i doubt he would've been going out with her that long if he was trying to make you jealous. Does he know the reason you broke up with him? If not, then casuallly mention it. I've been in your postition before so i know what it's like. If you really like him this much, i wouldnt give up on him just yet. Just continue talking to him and be friendly. You can make hints that you still like him and stuff.... but he does have a girlfriend and u gotta respect that so don't get too flirty! lol I hope this helps and sorry for taking sooooo long to answer! If you need anything else I'd be glad to help!

hi kayla...my boyfriend is really great and i love him a lot...but all we do is kiss and i feel he wants to do more...but im not ready for that kind of stuff...what should i do?
Hey! I'm sorry it took me this long to answer, but I've been kinda buzy lately. If he is putting moves on you that you don't like just tell him "hey, i really love you and all, but I'm just not ready for that yet." If he's a good guy he'll respect that. But if he doesnt make anny moves... but you can just tell he wants to go further than what you're ready for try talking to him. "I know you havent said anything, and thanks for being so respectful about it, but I know you want to take our realtionship further... and i just want you to know that I'm not ready yet. I really love you, and thanks for respecting my limits" or something like that. Don't be too shy or embarssed or afraid to communicate with him. Communication is the key to good relationships! lol. I hope this helped! If you need anything else, feel free to ask!

there is this girl and we went out and i cant stop likeuing her...i dont kno. she has a new b/f and it pains me and i still like her....how do i get over her.....anonoumous
My friend is in the EXACT same situation right now. So you went out with her, and i'm gonna assume if you still like her that she broke up with you. Even if you still like her, she has obviously moved on. You need to accept the fact that she doesn't like you that way anymore. She has moved on with her life, and you need to do that too. You could start moving on by hanging out with other people, getting yourself a new Girlfriend or Crush (but dont hurt the girl by telling her you're still getting over this other chick), also don't fawn over her so much... she probably likes the attention, and when you give it to her it makes you like her more, so stop obsessing over her, and face the facts that she doesnt want to be with you. You'll just have to be content being friends... and maybe in a few years she'll relize ur the one for her... or u'll realize she isnt the one for you. Just get on with your life and join activities and occpuy your time.. so you dont think of her so much. If you find youreslf thinking of her... just say to yourself "NO James (or whatever your name is) I can't think about her this way" and move on to another thought. I hope I helped! Feel free to ask me more questions if you need to!

I just got braces a few weeks ago and I have to get them tightened for the first time on February 1.. I was just wondering.. When you get them tightened, does it hurt as much as it does when you first get your braces on? Do you have to like eat soup and stuff again for a few days after you get them tightened? Another question.. My ortho showed me this special way to floss, but it's such a hassle. It takes forever to floss, and it's really complicated. Do most people floss when they have braces? Or is it okay if I don't floss.. and just brush my teeth really well? Thanks.. I'll rate HiGh!
Well I got my braces off a few years ago... so i'll try to help. When you get your braces tightened it does hurt for awhile. Depending on how much tighter they get will depend on how much they hurt. For instace, sometime when i got mine tightened it was no problem, and i went and had pizza right after... without any soreness or anything. Other times, i had to eat jello the rest of the day (i dont like soup, lol) but in the morning it was fine. Now this has never happened to me, but my brother (who doesnt take very good care of his braces) once got his tightened and claimed he couldnt eat for three weeks... i think he would have been fine with soup, but... So make sure you take good care of them, because it probably has a difference about the soreness of tightening. and about flossing. I have to admit that I never flossed with braces.. but i did brush VERY good.. and used ACT mouthwash... however i wouldnt suggest you do what i did... to maintain good teeth, you really do need to floss, but i know flossing with braces is really complicated... so only do it like twice a week... if you brush and use mouthwash really well... as well as stay away from all that food the orthodontist told you to... then you should be fine!!! hope i helped!! Anymore questions feel free to ask!

i got my cartilage pierced yesterday. is it normal for the cartilage to be a bit swollen? thanks
Of course it is! Your body isn't used to having a hole there! You'll see redness and swelling for a few days, then it should get better! Remember to put rubbing achohal (or the ear soultion your ear piercer gave you) every day to prevent infection! Hope i helped end your worries!

my room is really lame and i hate having friends in it because its not cool. i have basic furniture, tv, computer, but its so boring to be in. any ideas? help!!!
I've definately got some ideas!
As i normally do with questions such as these i will list my suggestions!
~Well one good way to liven up a room is lighting... depending on what you like, but sparkley lamps, lava lamps, or any neat, novelty lamps they have in stores. Target is a pretty good store for inresting lighting, but there are a million places where you could look as well.
~Incorporate yourself, your friends and you intrests into your room
~Make a photo colluge on your wall of you and yur friends, to make it more intresting add quotes or something you and your friends share.. also if you have or can get a poster that has just one giant thing on it.. cut out that thing, and fill in the shape with pictures of your friends.
~Make a colluge of anything that you like on your wall. a colluge of cats, or dogs, or even shoe ads. My friend has a very cool wall where it is half pink ads, and half blue ads.
~Another friend of mine has a wall and she has dedicated it to be a wall that she and her friends can doodle on, or write random stuff!
~There is something called magnetic paint... if it intrests you, see if your parents will let you buy it and paint a wall of your room with it.... the wall will become like one giant magnetic board. (the paint only comes in grey, so be prepared to paint another color over it)
~If you like to draw, put your drawings on the walls, if you write poetry, write it on your wall (or at least hang a poem up) etc....
~If you know how to sew at all, get some intresting fabric and stuffing, then make some pillows! If you are a more experienced seamstress, take an outfit that you love, but no longer fits, and make pillows out of them!
~An important element in a teen's room is seating! get cool and intresting chairs from pottery barn, or even target has some neat ones. Bean bag chairs are always a good soultion. If this might be your kind of thing, have a floor seating area, with a bunch of low to the ground chairs, a neat rug, and lots of pillows!
~To change up your room just a little, try rearranging the furniture. This can put a whole new perpspective on your room.
~Ask your parents if you can paint your room, one color, or even several. A neat thing to do is paint one wall a very intense color, then the rest, lighter shades of that same color.
~Accessorize! It's one of the best ways to add intrest to your room. Potted Plants or Flowers in vases, posters, pillows, rugs, blankets, room accessories, or anything like that! Make sure to use plenty of color!
Ok.. well i cant think of anything else at the moment, but if you want more ideas please ask me! i love questions about this type of thing. I hope i could help, and sorry if my answers are a little hard to follow... i'm rather tired.

Hey! Ok: so I have hundreds of pictures in my a box in my room. I take a roll at every other week. My question is: How can I display them in my room (without frames) I have some along my mirror. But what is a cool way of hahging them up? Thanks so much!
Well I have a few ideas so i'll just list them for you!
1. At target they have sheets of cork, and cork titles (not boards... but flat sheets) You could mount the cork on your walls and then put pictures on them.
2.Make a colluge on your wall of pictures. make one for different events. inculde magazine clippings and quotes if you want to.
3. For pics of your friends and family, with parents permission you could paint a giant tree on you wall and use the pictures as "fruit" (lol...)
4.At home improvement stores they sell magnetic paint. With your parents permission paint a wall with this paint. (it only comes in grey, so you may want to paint another color over it!) then get lots of funky magnents and put the pics on your wall that way! (for extra pizazz let your friends use a sharpie to sign your wall!)
5. Try using picture boards! they are boards and they have ribbion along them that you can put pictures in between.
I hope these ideas help! If you want or need more (or want any other decorating tips) please ask me! Also for another way of using your pictures... Make Scrapbooks!!!!!! look up scrapbooking in your phonebook, and take a class at a scrapbooking store in your area! Scrapbooking is great fun, and a great way to preserve memories, especially if you have lots of pics! It's also a great hobby!

I've already asked this question sorda but i wanted to change it a tad. I have no idea what to get my dad for christmas! He loves tennis, the entire family plays *me too!*, so we have way to many tennis balls and all the basic stuff. So i was wondering if anyone knows of any like gadgets or something for tennis. i have like 25 dollars for the present. Or I was thinking of making a picture frame. I don't want to go out and buy one bc i like the idea of making it, but I don't want it to look to homemade. any suggestions? ThAnkS!
Lyds*
You could always buy a plain frame at michaels... then hot glue tennis balls around it to make personal. Also for a huge picture frame maybe wire four cheap tennis rackets together and put like carboard on the back, but leave one edge with an opening. One more idea is that they have giant tennis balls you can buy.. it might be neat to saw one of those in half, then place a piece of cardboard into the back, then put a clear plastic sheet in the front, glued on 3 edges so you can insert a picture! Hope these ideas helped! if you need anything else, just ask!

what do you do when you lose someone you thought was your best friend to someone she knows you despise?
Well... first of all I'll say you should think about your question. Are you sure you've lost your friend? Lost could mean several things... your friend might be spending more time with this other friend, or she really could have started ignoring you. I'm going to assume that she isn't completely ignoring you, just spending much more time with this other girl. Well, I have to say that friends do grow apart. However there are some things you can do. As always my advice is to talk to your friend- tell her how you feel and let her to the same... talk, but also listen! This is sure to have some kind of effect on your relationship. You could always invite your friend to do more things, just the two of you. Maybe she thinks that you dont wanna send time with her anymore? Well i'm not quite sure what else to say, becasue i dont have much info. but my main advice is to talk to her in a "open session" a truthful talk with out getting feelings hurt. If you need more help IM me or ask another question, maybe with more details! Hope i helped... i understand because my friends seem to be doing this too......

I can put a tampon in just fine, it just hurts *really* bad whenever I pull it out, is it maybe because I let it get too full before I changed it? Please help!
i know what you mean. I've heard that when ever a tampon is too full of 'ick' it will hurt comming out, and if it is really dry then it will hurt as well. so just make sure it's not too full or too dry b4 u take it out. hope this helps!

I just got my period in July sometime and i use pads but i have her people say that tampons are so much better and LESS MESSY. but i am SOOOOO afraid to use one because just the thought sickins me. I'm asking people from experience....does it hurt the 1ST time.
-arielle-
This is somethings that most girls deal with at one time or another. Just relax and don't worry. Tampons generally don't hurt, even the first time... but you HAVE to get tampons with applicatiors and that are 'teen' or 'slender'. All you have to do is slide in the applicator a little way and then push it to get the tampon in. (sorry that was a little too much info.. but i hope the extra info helps) While tampons are nice becasue they do leave things nice and clean, remember to wash your hands before and after putting them in.. and also never wear them to bed or for more than 8 hours. If you do you run the risk of getting a really bad infection.. i forget the name tho. Also.. talk to your mother or another trusted adult female friend for more advice. A book that might help inform you more would be "the period book" I hope this helps! Good luck!

oK..I'm 13 5'4 and about 98 pounds..I used to be skinny and stuff but now I'm starting to get a big belly. I run and do situps and drink water and try to eat healthy and everything, but I starting to get larger than I should be. Any ideas on how to keep a flat stomache and stop gaining to much more because I used to see myself good now Im huge. sorry if thats kinda long.
~please help
OK wow... I'm stunned that you think you're fat! I would LOVE to be 5'4 and 9blbs... You really should look in the mirror and see how skinny you really are. You're problem i assume is that most your weight probably goes yo your stomache. Just do crunches or whatever. You really are VERY skinny for a person of your age and height.

Okay so i have this friend and he is a year younger than me and is going to call me in about an hour and hes gunna ask me out and i dont wanna go out with him. any ideas that i could use to say no but to not hurt his feelings?
im 13 and hes 12
Oh gosh. I've had this problem before. In my case I just told him no, no no. He kept asking me, and i think i hurt his feelings. I ended up going out with him because my brother told him yes (over AIM). It was miserable. So don't do what i did, lol. If you really don't want to go out with him just tell him straight up. Don't play games. When he calls you and asks you, act suprised and say "Oh wow. [name] you're a REALLY great guy and all, but we're such good friends i dont even want to think aobut spoiling that." If he understands from there, just leave it at that. But if he persists then say something like "I just dont think of you like that. You're my friend and i love having things that way. I'm flattered that you like me, but i just don't feel the same way. I'm sorry, and i dont want this to change things between us." hopefully you can leave it at that. If not... you're going to have to be firm. "I'm sorry, but my answer is no. I'll talk to you later, bye" i hope this helps! good luck!

OMG! i dont knoe why..but my teeth are yellow!! i brush 3 times a day..and i dont smoke!!..whats wrong?!
I've had this same problem. It could be because of any medications you are on. Or the cause of your yellow teeth may be that you have thin Enamel. This was my case. My enamel (the white part of tooth) was too thin that the inside yellowness was showing through. I'd talk to your dentist. Ask them what the problem is, and ask them for advice on what to do. They may suggest you get a bleaching kit from them. What my dentist is doing with me is that he has me using Professional Crest Whitesrips (the ones from the dentist) and then if they work.. he'll have me bleach my teeth later (if i want to!) It's working pretty well. hope i helped!

ok well my best friend is goin out w/ a boy ive nown 8 years and every time he comes over we make out and other stuff and wen he asks for it i give it to him...and i dont want to give that up but she keeps gettin mad at me??but me and him have gone out wen we were younger and all that jiz..its just ive only nown her for a year and ive nown him my whole life and i like him alot..but she goes out w/ him wen she nos i dont like it wen she does so i dont no wat to do.can u give me some advice plz????????ty..
You're having sex with your best friend's boyfriend??? First of all... that's not ok. Even if you have a past with this guy... right now he is hers, and you shouldn't do things with him. I can understand why your friend gets mad. how would you feel if you were going out with this guy, and you found out that they were doing things together? i think it would hurt. My advice would be to stop what you're doing with this guy.. it is not worth losing your friendship over. and Also.... stop hanging out with this guy!he's obviously not a very good guy, because he's doing stuff with someone who isnt his Girlfriend... sounds like he's a playa to me, and your friend is getting played. Maybe your friend does try to make you jealous. I'd show her you don't care. Move on from this guy, you dont need him. If you really like him a lot, and you just can't move on, then i would suggest talking to this guy. Tell him you really like him, but you don't want to hurt your friend. Tell that he needs to break up with your friend, or the make out sessions are going to come to a stop. This may casue conflict with your friend though. If she gets upset if he dumps her, just explain to her about the history of you and this guy. If he stills wants to be with her, than forget him! Sorry i'm being so brutal, but u need to face the facts my dear! hope i helped!

i'm 16 and my lil sis is havin her 13th birthday on december 19th.. she is soo pumped and doesnt really have any ideas for one. i threw a surprise for her last year so i dont wanna do that again.. she has a lot of friends and i guess shes one of the popular girls in her school so i want it to be big for her.. any one got any ideas.. cuz im not doing to good and i want this to be the best ever! x33always! me*
My advice would be that if you have a hotel in your city to rent out their meeting room if they have one. Have a big party there with a DJ and stuff. If the hotel has an indoor pool ask for acess to that, or just the hot tub. Invite lots of guys and girls from her school and make it a very mature party. have it on a friday or saturday, and then rent a couple hotel rooms and have a huge sleepover with her closest friends! This has a lot of poential! If doing that is not an option... then maybe have a formal V.I.P dinner party. invite guys and girls that a pretty close to her and go to a nice resturant (or aat home) and eat dinner, etc. You could go all out and ask the kids to dress up like their fav. star or just fancy. One more idea is to rent a cabin in the mountains and take some friends for a snow weekend.. or just go to a ski resort. I hope one of these work for you! I turned 13 a few months ago and these would've been totally awesome birthday partys! (I went camping by a lake with 10 of my closest friends for my party, it was lots of fun) I hope this helps! if you'd like any other ideas.. please drop a note in my inbox or AIM me!
