At restaurants - what is the accepted etiquette/percentage for tipping someone who you have an outside friendship with?
15% is the normal amount to tip. You really don't have to give much more than that.
well im going to eigth grade and i didnt have my period yet...should i be worried?i dont even got boobs yet
It's completely normal. Your body isn't the same as everyone else's, so you will grow up and mature differently than everyone else. If you really have any concerns, discuss it with your mom, an older sister, and another older female you trust.
okay i have a question for girls... ive got the worst cramps right now.. like i feel like im going to die... does anyody have any at home remedys or somethin to make em go away... i already took 2 tylonol and a calcuim pill... but what else can i do to make em not hurt so bad, or even better, go away!! please help
Exercise helps, so try taking a walk or jog around the neighborhood. You can also take a nice warm bath and put a heating pad on and just lay down and read or listen to music.
hey
is there any way to deal with baby hair i have alot and i dont know what to do about and it sucks.
I definitely have that problem. It gets really bad when it's humid outside. The only thing I really know of is to use gel or hairspray in the morning and comb it down.
does high school really suck? Should I be freaking out about it, or am I just overreacting?
I'll be going into high school in the fall. I think it's completely normal to be worried about it (I know I am), but you shouldn't be freaking out, really.
I believe high school is definitely how you make it out to be. If you don't get involved and open yourself up to try new clubs and meet new people, then it won't be that great of an experience. But if you do get involved and open up, they can be a great 4 years.
I have this friend who likes me but I like another girl. I want her to know that without her felling bad so can you help?
from Pola_Bear
You just need to tell her that you don't like her that way. You just want to be friends with her. If she's mad, it's to be expected. Just give her some time.
i missed last friday's brand new episode of Degrassi! dose anyone know when that episode will play again? thx
As in August 5? They didn't have a new episode that day, I'm not sure why. They had another episode from this season, then Instant Star, and an hour premiere of Girls V. Boys.
But weekdays at 9 p.m they replay what was shown during the weekend, so try tuning in sometime, and you're bound to see it.
I am moving and all of my friends are sad. I dont know if i should move with my dad to be closer to my friends or move with my mom.
i dont know what to do i am so confused.
what do u think i should do??
You have to do what is best for you. No one can make the decision for you. Are you going to be unhappy if you move in with your mom, or vice versa? You need to really think about how you are going to feel in each situation.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a short amount of two weeks, and only two weeks. Last time I saw him he tried to touch my chest as we were kissing and I pulled his hand away and I got extemely uncomfortable around him that night. He knew I was too. Here I am a week later and he tried to do the same thing again tonight. I let him for a second then just stopped kissing him and got very quiet after that and just continued to watch the movie. We kind of have this joke about how I don't like my stomach so he was laughing about it and he kind of pulled my shirt up just so you could see my stomach just a little bit. So I pulled my shirt back down, but he put his hand under it. I laughed cause he was tickleing me too, but then he moved his hand up. I pulled his hand out right away and luckily my mom came to pick me up after that happened.
I live off the moto- "forgive and forget" I'm forgiving him, but it makes me feel really degrated and small that he'd try that two weeks into this realationship. He's really sorry and he knows it made me uncomfortable, but I don't know how to act now. I want to show him it's alright, but I don't want him trying again... what do I do? Should I feel uncomfortable?
I think you were right. It's only been two weeks. He's truly sorry; you really don't need to feel weird around him. Just tell him that you don't want to do that right now in your relationship. A guy that cares about you will understand and respect how you feel.
Does aloe gel work on white spots or scars because I have a lot of scars and I have a few white lines/spots on my legs! PLease help i wanna get rid of them before school starts! also does aloe gel work on any kind of white spot or white area. If it doesnt work can you tell me what I should get to rid of white lines and areas and scars thanx
I rate 5s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a complete emergency!
No, it really doesn't. Aloe is really only used to soothe burns that you may get, and help the burn go away. It won't make any scars disappear. Mederma gets rid of scars, but it's expensive, and your scars probably are serious enough that you need to spend $30+ on it. You can try cocoa butter.
AHH i burned my head with my straightener and i need to get something that will make the scar go away or fade drasticly...its a white spot on the tip top of my forehead! quick! school starts in like 4 days!
The spot will most likely go away. Just for now, keep aloe gel on it. If it doesn't go away, just use a good coverup over the spot. TIP: Keep the aloe in the fridge. That way it will be really cold when you put it on.
I know you don't want to listen to me whine but really, I have noone to talk to. My boyfriend just dumped me in the rudest way. He made up this horrible excuse that his parents were mad at him and he wasn't allowed to have a girlfriend. He never even told me he was breaking up. Right after that, he put his away message up that said "Oh the phone with the hottest girl ever-Shea!" (Shea is a slut and really easy by the way) Then I imed him to tell him how much he hurt me. And he said, "Yeah whatever, like you would know what pain was. Who cares about you."
I can't stop crying. Is there something wrong with me? He blocked me so anyone who wants his screenname, its: pyroboy9977.
I can't believe this. :(
Well you know what, if he did this to you, then he's really not the right guy for you. There are soooo many more guys out there, guys that wouldn't do this to you. I understand it hurts right now, but just keep yourself busy, hang out with your friends, and really there at much better people for you out there. Good luck! If you need anyone to talk to, feel free to IM me. xo- Kristen
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to go to the NJ shore with one of my best friends, Sam. I was very excited...each of her siblings is bringing a friend, and she chose me to go for the week with her & her family! The date is August 13th-20th. Just today, however, she called me and was like "I just found out Catherine is coming too, is that all right?" Obviously I said yes...I wasn't going to be rude & tell her no. However Catherine is Sam's friend (their families are good friends too) and she does not go to my school. I have met her before, & she is very nice, but I really don't know her well. To be honest, I am not sure that I am so psyched to go anymore, because she is going to have Catherine there too. I know it sounds mean, & I have nothing against Catherine, but it just seemed rude that Sam never mentioned she would be there before. I am not sure if it is just her, or her entire family comeing (it is a very big house) so I don't know if it was like her mom who invited her or what. I honestly don't know if I want to go for a whole week anymore...I mean I am sure it would still be fun but it is just not the same. Do you think it is silly for me to be upset? Should I just go, or should I decline? I mean I still want to see the NJ shore & go to the beach & be with my friend, but it is just confusing now. Should I talk to her? If so what exactlu do I say? Sorry this is so long!
I can understand that, but take this as an opportunity to get to know her. It's a little silly just to consider not going anymore. I seriously don't think you should ruin a really good time just because someone else you don't know very well is going. Definitely talk to her, just bring up random things like movies and music, and see where the conversation goes. You don't have to be best friends with her, just get to know her before anything else.
OK, my hair is just about shoulder length, maybe a little bit longer. It's thick and reallyyyyy wavy and frizzy. If i straighten it at night, like right before i go to bed, shood i keep it up or down overnight? Which will help it stay straight?
The times I've straightened it at night, I just left my hair down. You might have to touch it up in the morning though. If you put it in a ponytail, you'll probably get a bump in your hair. That's what happens to me.
I will be freshman this year. And I'm so scared and nervous. My curent friends are like family, but I can't really be myserlf around them. They are too much into guys. But I've been through alot with them in middle school. And I don't really have any other close friends. So what should I do? Should I find new friends, or stick with the ones I got?
I would actually do both. Since there are so many new people that you're going to be around, start becoming friendly and hang out with them with them. But don't completely lose touch with your current ones, just expand a little.
Ok, first off, a few months ago, I tore my labrum, dislocated my shoulder, and dented my shoulder socket. After insurance helped a little, my family owes $3200 in doctor bills. At the end of the school year, though, I signed up for football, because I figured it would heal by then. It hasn't. We just started practicing, and my shoulder is starting to make cracking noises when I move it because of some of the tackling drills. If I get hurt again, we don't have enough money to pay for doctor bills again. I honestly have no idea how to explain this to my coach. I don't want to make him mad or make him think I'm a quitter, but it's pretty painful and like I said, we can't afford it again.
You should definitely go and talk to your coach and just explain everything. The way I see it is that you are hurt. You shouldn't be thought of as a quitter for being hurt. Tell him you really don't want to make things worse, and you need more time to heal. Give your shoulder plenty of rest and if you're lucky, you can be back on the team next year. Thanks for the question, and feel free to send me something anytime you need help.
hey i was wondering if stridex pads really work...are they cheap?? answer soon! i rate!
I've personally never used them, but I found reviews online written by people who have: http://www.epinions.com/beat-Skincare-Blemish_Control-Stri_Dex_Medicated_Pads_Maximum_Strength/display_~reviews
Just reading through them, people said they dried out your skin a lot, and they sometimes hurt. But I would definitely read through them, see what results other people had.They cost about $4-$6.
okay well ill be 16 in less than a month, and already my family and friends are asking what i want... i have no idea... so i need some help on what to get for a 16 year old girl... i really want a car... but i doubt my parents will do that, and i was thinkin a tiffanys neckalce and one of those sequin purses... but what else is there?!! please help!!
You could ask for a number of things, including ..
- money (always a good thing. You can think about what you want, or just save it)
- Ipod or CD player.
- portable DVD player
- nice necklace or bracelet
- nice handbag
- digital camera
- clothes
- a gift certificate to your favorite store
Me and my boyfriend have been going out for almost three months. He lives a town away from me, but we still barely ever see each other, and for some reason he barely calls anymore. What do i do to make myself feel better about the relationship?
Why don't you start calling him? Start making plans with him; meet halfway and go to the movies or out to dinner. You're only a town away from him. Don't just leave it up to him to make the relationship work out.
