so for starters -- we'll call me jen, and my boyfriend jim. jim asked me out, and for some reason i knew that everything would be really awkward. since we're friends, and turning into more than that is weird. but we dont act like boyfriend - girlfriend people do, or, we havent gotten a chance to since he just asked me out last night ... but whenver we talk online & say goodbye it just ends as 'kk bye' or 'g2g bb' or something with no meaning. and we have nothing to talk about lately, mainly because of pressure, even thought im not sure what from. we were talking about clocks today. yes, clocks. and it all seems so, artificial. and i just want to break up with him, but if i do that, we probably won't be friends. any ideas? not sure what about -- just, ideas. or opinions. thanks xx.

& of course ill rate. (link)
well if i were you id wait it out and maybe after a few days youll be more comfortable with him as your bf and stuff, but if it doesnt turn out like that, just be like, i dont think this is working out---maybe being friends is better than girlfirend/boyfriend. hell understand. maybe he feels the same way? but still...wait and see what happens before you do anything you might not want to. it could still work out..just be flirty and stuff around him so its not like a *just friends* kinda thing. hope this helps!


I'm going on holiday in three weeks. It's a four hour flight each way. So I want a book to read, but don't know what. I don't want something that'll make me sad because I'm going on holiday and don't want to be put in that kind of mood. I want something happy and girly that'll be fun to read and not too serious. I'm in England, so it'll need to be released here too and hopefully able to get on ebay cheap because I'm skint. Does anyone have any ideas or knmow of any books like that for me? (link)
my favorite book of all times is the sisterhood of traveling pants...there are like 3 books in the series so if you finish the first one you can move on right away to the next ones..i swear those books are so good you wont want to stop reading =]

the title is kind of weird so ill explain...its about these 4 girls that are like BFF and for the first time there gonna be like split up in the summer--ones going to greece, ones going to this camp, ones going to visit their dad, and ones staying home. each of the girls have a story like in the book and its super good. oh yeah and like to stay like in touch, the girls have this pair of jeans that they pass around to eachtoehr all summer that like fits them all which they think is like weird cuz like one of them is like i guess you could say, fatter then the others like and so wahtever you should really read it its super good =] oh and its by ann brashares --i would think they have it in england youll have to check


ok well im preety good with working out and my weight has been the same for like 4 months but i eat just because i feel like it and i dont know what i can do to stop so i can loose weight if anyone has any ideas please help me. ill rate 5's (link)
well if you eat the right stuff thats good for you then its no problem, so maybe just try to pick something really healthy when you feel like eating like an apple or another kind of fruit or veggie because then that fills you up and gives you vitamins and all that good stuff =]


okay,first of all i'm a 14 year old female in 8th grade. sorry if this is long, but let me try to explain my situation:

to start out, i didn't really like this guy, but then one these two girls (who happened to be both of his ex-girlfriends) came up to me and asked me if i liked him. i told them no. Then they told me that they think we would make a really cute couple. So that got me thinking. Then that same day one of my best friends asked me if i liked that guy because i was talking to him. I told her the same thing i told the first two girls, no. Once i started talking to him more i started to think that he liked me, so i started liking him too. like this one time on the bus i came on the bus and just kidding told him that he was sitting in my seat. he realized that i was kidding but said sorry and said that i could sit next to him in the seat. i thought he was kidding so i laughed and saids that's ok. did he really want me to sit next to him? and does that mean that he likes me? then one night when i was out to the movies with my friend he came to my house with 3 other guys friends to see if i could hang out, but my dad told him that i was out. sorry this is so long, but i'm almost finished. then last night my school had a school dance. it was the last slow song of the night and he asked this other girl to dance, but the girl didn't really want to dance with him so she told me to dance with him. i danced with him for a little bit. but for some reason he thought it would be funny to dance with like 5 girls in one song. so he danced with me for like 20 secs, then another girl, then another girl, then back to me for like another 20 secs. Then before the song even ended his friend ran over to him and told him he had to dance with this other girl from 7th grade. so he just stopped dancing with me to dance with this other girl. i thought he was being rude at the time, but maybe he just felt bad for the other girl.

so my final question: does he like me?

thanks!
(link)
honestly i really dont know if he likes you or not. if i were you i would straight up ask him, but im not sure if you dont want to like if tht would be akward just ask one of your friends to ask him/ask his friend if he likes you. guys are so confusing you never know wahts going on in their heads! i hope this helps


i really need to get tan in like a month and i cant go in a tanning bed is there any other way to get really tan in like a month? thanks! (link)
my friend uses jergens natural glow and it works really good like theres a face lotion and then a body lotion and if you use it everyday then youll be super tan...and you can get it anywhere for a cheap price =]


A little background information. My mother is on the pill(not for birthcontrol tho, other reasons), antidrpessent, leukemia medcine & alot of others.
Lately she yells literally EVERY day. Usually before i'm out of bed, shes yelling. I serioulsy can't take it. She FLIPS out over the smallest things. Like right now shes cleaning & she misplaced the MR. Clean & she was flipping out. IT only adds stress & tension to the house. I seriously can't take it. I've had a headache for over 3 months now. I beleive she is one of the main problems. I'm asking, what should i do to make her calmer & less stressful to others. & i CAN'T confront her.


ps another big problem is $12,000 in debt. (link)
if i were you i would be really nice to her and surprise her with things she likes---maybe bake her favorite kind of cookies some times when she gets home from work or try to do something fun with her. maybe take her to a day spa and (im not sure..you didnt say if you were a boy or a girl) either spend the day there with her or just send her there by herself or for a body massage or soemthing she likes to do. just try to help her get her mind off everything thats stressing her out and if she wants to, talk to her about it if it helps. maybe just go on a walk with her--if she doesnt yell and stuff. just help her try to relax and you just have to be realllyyyy nice no matter how mad she gets never loose your temper--itll just make things worse. i hope this helps! if you need anything else just leave it in my inbox/email me.


My bedroom is white and boring. I've been thinking about redecorating it. mostly painting the walls. I just have no idea what color to paint it. My favorite colors are pink and black. I'd be scared to paint it black and plus, im not allowed. but im not sure if i wanna paint it pink. Please help.

What colors would you suggest to paint a bedroom.

I'll rate 5's for anyone that tries. (link)
a pink room would be sooo cute...when i moved into my house i painted my room a light blue which is cute, but i think pink would be cute too. my sisters room is yellow and its cute too so if you like that color you might wanna consider that too cuz its nice and bright and happy. a light green would be adorable too...just nice light bright colors are good..but im not sure what would be good for you..depends on your comforter or if your getting a new one so like it matches and whatnot. but yeah dont paint it black thatd be like depressing. but you could incorporate black into it somehow with like black bordering/furniture? not really sure but youll figure it out somehow! well good luck on your room i hope it turns out amazinggg


f/14
freshman

well basically school sucks and...i really dont like it. im aquantinces (sp)with 20 or so people in my grade, but i really only have two friends.

-one of them is always all over her boyfriend and they only talk to eachother, its like someone turned on a switch or something. whenhes not there, we have a good time, but if hes there she basically forgets im in the room.

- the other one is usually fine but when her other friend (that im friendly with) is there she totally ignores me.

so basically thats it. its just me, myself, and i. my mom was thinking of homeschooling me, not that she knows any of th at, just because she thinks it'd be better since my schools kind of crappy anyway and i hate all the people in it.i kind of want to stay though for things like prom, and graduation, and stuff like that but idk if its really worth it to stay there if i basically have no friends here. im not really sure if homeschooling is good though. when i go to college i dont want to be like the only one that was homeschooled, and not know everything im supposed to, or someting like that. i would get a tutor for math since my mom basically sucks at math, but everything else she would teach me.
idk.

someone please help me out

and if any of you are homeschooled that would be good too..but it doenst really matter. just your opinion will be appreciated. (link)
if i were you i would stick to your high school at leaste til the rest of the year and try to make friends with all your acwaintences (sp), and then next year i would still try it at leaste for a month or so to see if you can make new friends---or if you make new freinds this year and stuff then id def. stay for good..but if you do decide you hate school so much i would maybe just transfer to a different high school instead of being homeschooled and missing out on graduation and all taht good stuff. just dont give up on your social life!! i hope i helped


I need help finding a prom dress. And so far i can't find any. And i checked a lot of places (online) and dont' really like any of their dresses. does anyone know where to find a prom dress thats $150 or less??? here are some of the places ive checked

Nordstroms
Macys
Arden B
Bebe
davids prom
Cache
Rampage
Betsey Johnson
Bloomingdales
Neiman Marcus
Windsor (link)
my neighbor got best dressed at her prom and got her dress for about 50 dollars at tj maxx so maybe try that...hers was so pretty maybe you can find one you like there =]


okay, so when i was younger if i liked a guy i would be a total idiot to them. i mean... i would be really terrible (making fun of them and stuff) but when i was in fourth and fifth grade that was what everyone did so it was cool. unfortunatley now that kinda ruined my chances w/ them. all of my other friends have guy friends but most guys who used to like me just think of me as the bitchy girl from 5th grd. how do i change this? (link)
well, it will take time and stuff, but do really nice things for them or around them, and make sure they see you doing something nice and never something mean, so then after a while theyll be like woah she changed! i hope this helps!


Well the happiest thing happened to me... I found the love of my life... I love his family his family loves me vise versa... But the only problem is he lives next door... Ya some people are like thats the tightest thing ever... But it is a hassle sometimes when i wanna go out with the girls and its like i have 2 sets of parents... One weekend i went to a party with my friends and i came home at 12:30 and his parents were all pissed cause he wasnt with me... I dunno... But i love him though... And his parents think we are getting married... They told him to wait till after graduation to get married and we have been going out for like 2 months? that kinda creeps me out... What should i do?? (link)
omg yeah thats kinda like really werid

if i were you i would talk to him and make sure he knows that you arent thinking of marraige yet since its so early in the relationship, and that you want to wait until your positive you want to get married to him. hopefully hell understand!


I have had braces for about 8.5-9 months now and so far, I'm not liking it. When I look at myself in the mirror, I don't think of myself as beautiful anymore, because theres disgusting metal on my teeth. Having braces has lowered my self esteem twice as much as my self esteem was before I had them. I feel like a dork and sometimes I even regret getting them. I've tried telling my friends and family about this, but they've all had them and they say their little stories just to make me feel worse. Even some of the kids in school teased me about my braces before. Like one guy had a metal pen in his hand one day and he told me to put it in my mouth, because it would shock my mouth, because I have stupid braces. I hate my life with braces. I just want my old life back! Every single kid in my school everyday is getting their braces taken off. It's like a school epidemic. The more kids who don't have braces, the more upset I get. Is this normal or do I have issues? (link)
i know its nottt fun to have braces---i have them right now that ive had on for a year and 2 monthes. most kids have or have had braces at some point, and so its perfectly normal to ahve braces/hate them to death...and its pretty gay if people make fun of you becuase chances are theyll prolly get braces at one point in their life..well maybe not but whatever depends on their teeth

but in the end youll be so happy you had braces, because just that year or 2..or maybe 3..not sure how long youll have them on...but anyways..just that short while is worth having a lifetime of straight teeth..but just rember when you get them off ALWAYS wear your retainer so you dont have to get braces again if your teeth move..trust me my sister didnt wear it and she had to get braces again eww. well you dont always have to wear it just for like 6 monthes-a year, but then like always at night for like, ever

but anywasy this is like rally long so yeah..i hope this helped!!


Agh! One of my BFF's copies everything from other people! She's so unoriginal with her AIM profile, taste in music, style, way she acts && everything! So annoying! What should I do? Say something.. or just ignore it? Its so annoying tho! I will rate Ok thank yu! (link)
well some people are just like that--maybe because they honestly like what other people have---enough to get it like as in profiles and stuff, but maybe shes like afraid of rejection like she is afraid if she doesnt act like everyone else no one will like her..im not really sure. if i were you i would say something casually like if she has the same profile as someone be like, "hey doesnt so and so have that in their profile?" or if she has the same shirt as someone be like, "omg i saw so and so wearing that same shirt!" or something just to see what she says, and then based on her answer if its the right time say something--not in a rude way--but just to make her aware that you think she copies people a lot. like somehting like "how come you do stuff exactly like everyone else---why dont you be yourself?" well that may be kinda harsh, but be up front about it, but she may make up an excuse or something im not sure..but i hope this helps!

My school's choir is doing a cabaret show and I have a solo in the song "Popular" from the play Wicked. I can sing the solo very well but I have a problem with singing infront of my class. I can sing infront of other people just not infront of the class. I need to practice with everyone so I can get it down perfectly. So, my question is... How do I get rid of my nerves or atleast be able to sing without a shakey voice? I try to tell myself they will judge me no matter how I sound but it doesn't seem to help. (link)
hey my choir class did that too! well anyways..uhm to get rid of nerves heres a sight i found...http://www.orgsites.com/sc/achievers/_pgg3.php3

maybe it can help, but other than that i would just practice singing in front of the class and do it more because you get more comfterbal with it which gets you over it!


i'm going to great wolf lodge on friday and i just want to know if its something to be excited about, or is it just a boring old water park? is it really as good as everyone says? i would like someone who has actually been there to answer this! thx! (link)
ah its really really really funnn!

i mean like if you like swimming and slides and all that fun stuff.
i went like 3 or 4 years ago and i had so much fun...but it would prolly have been funner if i had a friend so maybe if its ok you can bring a friend to hang out with if you can. but yeah youll have a lotta fun =]


Haha I had no clue what category this should of gone under, so I picked randomly.

Anyway.. I am 14 and a girl and I was wondering.. how many people shave(or wax or ect) their arms? Should i shave mine? I feel like my arms have light colored hair (blonde) but the seem hairy to me. I read in a magazine something about shaving arms, but should I? Would it be weird or would it be weird if I didnt?
(link)
personally, i wouldnt. i think its really weird becase like were supposed to have hair on our arms and its like totally different then having hair on your legs and stuff which obviously isnt weird to remove..but yeah shaving your arms would be really annoying---always having to shave them to avoid them getting prickly which is gross. but i dont know maybe if you shaved a lot or something it could be alright...im not exactly sure ive never done it so good luck to you if you do!

ps---if you have blonde hair then wouldnt it be like not embarrasing since no one can see it? whatever its totally your call thtas just my advice take it or leave it


should your boyfriend/girlfriend come before your best friend?

please explain too ♥ thanks. (link)
NOOOO boyfriends never last but your friends will be there forever, and if you spend all your time with your boyfriend, your friends will feel second handed to the boyfriend, so when you and your boyfriend break up, you might not have your friends back!! i hoip ehis helped


i think my friend is making excuses from hanging out w/ me. this has been going on for weeks. should i confront her?? what should i do? (link)
if i were you i would ask her to do something as one last attempt, and if she says no and makes up an excuse, i would say something like, how come you can never hang out? or someihtng like that and ask them stuff about it. i hope this works!! good luck


how do you determine the right weight for a certain hight/weight?

im 14, 4'11" and 110 pounds

thx (link)

I heard cracking your fingers could cause arthritus (sp?), so I'm trying to stop. But it's so hard because it's already a really big habbit. Does anyone know how to break a habit like this?? (link)
i also thought cracking your knckles gave you arthritus...but it doesnt! its a hugeee habit of mine too but i dont really care about stopping cuz i know it would be impossible..for me. but cracking them does make them huge which, i have accepted lol--yes im that addicted. i dont really care about that..but for advice on how to stoppp...well just challenge yourself not to for like a day and then the next day be like ok i wont crack my knucles today and keep doing that and see if it works!!! i hope this helps!
