I love helping others. I may be young & to be honest I have NOT experienced everything there is to experience, but nonetheless I am a good listener. I am creative & intelligent, so I can hopefully give you some helpful advice. =]

advice

heyy..i wear tilt (pacsun) jeans almost everyday,and they fit sooo good,im just getting sooo sick of them.im 4"11 and 00 (almost a 0) in jeans,so i would like to know,what jeans FIT like pacsun,arent THAT much money (but if they are,tell me anyways,but tell me if they are a lot fo money =D) and come in 00. the new pacsun jeans dont fit that good around the crotch and back,and sometimes around the legs,im very skinny in the back of my legs. i heard l.e.i. was good but i cant find them ANYWHERE.also angels,but im lost to where those are also. stores would rock =). thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much in advance!!!!

I have seen Angels at Marshalls an Tjmaxx all the time. You can find l.e.i at a department store (try Macy's or JCPenny...look on their websites)

My brother and i were in a car accident recently and i was driving and totaled my brand new escalade. he told the police and our parents that he was the one driving so i wouldnt get in trouble since i only had my license for a few months and he has had his for about 6 years. i feel horrible about the whole thing tho and i cant figure out what to do. should i tell my parents the truth of just let it be?

If this were me, I would tell my parents the truth. I know a lot of people would not, but I hate feeling guilty. I don't know your parents, however, my guess is that if you did tell them, they will punish you in some way (maybe taking away driving privleges, etc.). In my opinion though, I think it is better to face your problems; there are worse tings in life that could have happened. I am sure your parents are thankful that you & your brother did not get hurt and I think you should be happy you are alright too. I know it will suck if they punish you, but always remebr things could be worse. I think if you tell them, all though it may not seem like it when you do, they will realize how responsible you are for admitting it. I also don't think it's right to let your brother be blamed for something he didn't do...if my sister totaled a car & maded me take the blame I would not be a happy camper. In the end, it's up to you to do what feels right, but if it wereme I would tell them. GOOD LUCK.

Does anyone know how you can save songs on myspace, and then put them on itunes?

you can't normally do it on official music pages, but if you find an artist page that someone else made (likea fan page on myspace music), right click the song name, click save target as, save it, then press open...if you have more questions or that wasn't specific enough, ask me on my advice page!

Hi I live in a town where there are lots of jewish people and there are sooo many bat/bar mitzvahs! I got invited to my first two (no not one, i got two invitations at the same time, but the bat mitzvahs are on diff days thankfully!!!) My family isnt rich where I can get a new dress everytime i get invited to one. Heres what I need to know:
1. What kind of dress are you supposed to wear? Formal, casual, kind of casual???
2. DO people usually buy a different dress for each bat mitvah cause i think it is kind of odd to wear the same dress to (not literally) 20 bat mitzvahs!
3. How should you do you hair? Like should I get it done at a hair place???
4. WHere can I get reasonable priced dresses that are appropriate for a girl who JUSST turned 13? I don't think my parents are going to let me wear strapless!!!
5. HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I GIVE??

It first depends on when the service & party are. If the service is in the morning and the party is immediatley following, then you do not have to wear formal clothing (but not compltely casual either). A dress would be fine, as long as you have a sweater to wear in the synagague, to cover your shoulders. However, if it's a morning service, do not wear a floor length ball gown...this is way too fancy (unless you check with all your friends & they are all doing this). If the service is at night, your dress can be a little more formal, but make sure you still have something to cover you up at the service. If the service is in the morning & the party is later at night, you can just wear a cute little skirt to the service, and a fancier dress at night. The dresses you picked out would be great for no matter when the services and parties are, just wear a sweater or a shawl over them for the service. Oh and some places that would have good priced dresses are Macy's (you already had this), JCPENNY, Forever21 (they sometimes have fancier ones, but usually sundresses, so you need to look for the fancier ones), Kohls might have a few... try their websites & have fun!

okay i have pretty bad ocd, but my bathroom ocd is the worst. this might sound weird/gross, but when i use the bathroom, i have to squat/stand to go. i've been doing this for months/years & now suddenly i cant go! i dont know if its a mental thing, but i cant go unless i sit down. i don't just sit down [obviously cause i have ocd]. i wipe the seat & try to squat as much as possible, but i just cant. what is this!! what else can i do so i don't get germs. im scared of it.

thanks!!

I know how you are feeling, I have OCD too. You should buy those seat protectors you sometimes find in public restrooms & use those so you can sit on them! Here are some websites that have them:

13/f
ughh i can never sleep! it's because of my summer sleep schedual, so i'm trying to go to sleep every night a half hour earlier because school starts next week, but it doesn't make a difference. like, last night i watched tv til 1, read til 2(because i still wasnt tired,) and ended up falling asleep around 3. maybe after. nothing makes me tired, i even tried counting backwards from 100 like, 4 times. i told my mom and she was like well go to bed eariler, so i told her that doesnt work and she said to read, and i told her that doesn't work either, so she just like, walked away she doesnt listen to me. everr. so are there any ways that i can get tired? i want to be asleep for school by 11/11.30 pleasseee hellpp ?

Well first of all, I have heard you shouldn't watch tv, go on the computer, or exercise a few hours before you go to bed, or it will stimulate your mind, so don't do any of those for the few hours before you go to bed. These foods are also known to make people sleepy, so maybe try eating them before you go to bed: milk, turkey, and peanuts (they help the brain produce serotonin, a chemical that helps you relax). Try drinking warm milk or eat a slice of toast with peanut butter or a bowl of cereal before bedtime. Plus, the warmth may temporarily increase your body temperature and the subsequent drop may hasten sleep. You can also try rituals for your body to get used to, like listening to SOFT music and sipping a cup of herbal tea. Don't drink too much caffine either. For more tips, try this website : http://www.helpguide.org/life/sleep_tips.htm

GOOD LUCK and remember, if you can't fall asleep on the first school night, don't worry! You are not alone (last year i didn't fall asleep until maybe 3 and my sister didn't fall asleep all night!) This is natural, and think about, you will be so tired the 2nd night, you will fall right to sleep!

my uniform for school is cacki pants and a white polo. i dont wanna wear sneakers with it .. i wanna wear flats, like moccasins or something. does that look good? and where could I get some flats at a good price that are cute, and a nuetral color, like brown or black. thanks in advance

That would look really cute, as long as your kakis don't drag on the ground or are not too wide so they cover them! Try going to Payless to find shoes, they alwasy have the latest styles. Also try Bobs and Kohls. Old Navy usually has cute shoes too!

(not sure if this is in the right category, if not SORRY!) anyway my big problem is i had my FIRST ever period on July 5th, and i havn't had it since! i'm really really worried. and i've never had sex so it wouldn't be that i'm pregnant. (i'm 14)

also, i'm pretty sure it was a period and not my hymen broke. because it lasted for 4 days.

please help me, i've been worried since august 20th! thanks.

When you 1st get your period, it doesn't normally come every month. This could go on for a year or so (or more or less). Just try this: when you do get it, mark that date on a calander. Keep doing this...then when it does get on a normal cycle, you will be able to tell when it's coming!

My sister just recently went to University of Texas in Austin for a softball scholarship. I'm extremely happy for her. I didn't think I'd miss her much becuz she was so bossy but then I started crying and it lasted for hours! We can still e-mail and we have a webcam but I won't get to see her untill Christmas! Are these feelings normal for a sister whose leaving?

These feelings are completely normal! Kids all over the world go through this every year. When my brother went to school his Freshman year, he went all the way across the country...I wasn't even very close to him at that time, but I still missed him so much! Since he's been gone (he now goes to school a little closer) we have become closer, even though we don't get to see each other very often. I think it's a part of life...imagine how your sister feels, leaving her house, her friends, her family, and everything she knew home. It's scary, espcially since you have lived together your whole life. It's going to be hard, but just talk to her online, use your webcam, call her on the phone, and Christmas will come sooner then you think! Hang in there! And if you need to talk (because I know what you are going through & what it feels like) you can IM me at emalieee x3

can anyone give me advice on acting..i want to get better...i have theater at school and i love it..just want to know what makes a great actress..thanksss

This quote really affected me when I saw it on the wal of my Acting Coach's studio:
"Acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances."
This quote is so right...when you act you can't really act...you need to be true to the way that character would act. You basically need to react the way you would in a circumstance, but still keep in mind how your character might act differntly as well. Let's say you are doing a scene where you need to cry because your great grandmother died, but in real life this has never happened to you. I know that makes it really hard to react, because you've never experienced that before. However, if you think of something similar...let's say a pet dying, or even a breakup (something sad that HAS happened to you) then you can sort of feel the way the character would feel (sad). However, the object is not to try & "fake cry"...instead you need to REACT to the situation like you would in real life & your reaction will natuarlly lead to the fake crying, instaead of just fake crying being your objective. The same thing goes for happy, excited, scared, ext. If you need more help just IM me at emalieee x3

hope i helped!

This might soung wrong, but I have a crush on my cousin. He's 14 and I'm 13. We used to be so close, and when we were younger, we always hugged each other and we even kissed once when we said goodbye. Until today, I've been feeling like he and I were drifting apart. But then today, he and I played video games, and he asked me questions, was super nice to me, and sometimes he'd get a little shy and talk relaly quietly or get nervous and start fidjeting. He didn't look at me much, but when he did, he had this awkward look in his eye. I know we're cousins, and I can't really date him, but I want to know if he seems interested or not. He's going back to singapore (in asia) where he lives, in a week, and I desperately need advice on what to do.

I know it might be hard if you really do like him, but I would just forget about it all together, pretend like you never liked him. I know that this is probably not the advice you want to here, but if you fell in love with your cousin & had children, they could have serious problems & deformities. I am sorry, but also I doubt your family would approve. I would just forget about it.

I've had my period for about half of a year, ( Since June ) It still quite irregular, which I know is normal. However, I never know when to bring tampons with me. Like, it'll just pop up, and it always seems to happen when I'm wearing light colored pants. I don't wanna have to carry tampons and pads with me everywhere I go, but I don't get any warning signs like cramps or PMS. How can I make sure I can save myself from having anymore leaks!?

where pantyliners all the time, they are VERY thin, they just are there "just incase" so that if your period does start it will not leak through. try LITE DAYS

hey, what are some really good ceremic hair straighteners? like what brands? and im not talking about an ok job, im talking a drastic change from like poofy to smooth straight and silky. it would be great if you could answer with straighteners under 40 dollars? thanks, ill rate fives for any ideas.

i use remington wet to straight & it works well for me. my hair is on the thicker side & it's wavy, but it straigtens it well. also you can use it on wet or dry hair. i find it works best on damp hair (NOT soaking wet & NOT dry, but after letting it semi-air dry).

hi, you answered one of my questions telling my to buy the same clothes at marshalls & tjmaxx, but my friend says they only have really small clothes there. like all the abercrombie and hollister etc. is all like very small sizes..

oh well i guess it depends on what the companies give the stores at that time. i got size 6 american eagle jeans there...that's not that small. i have also seen larger shirts as well...it's worth hunting around there because you never know what you will find. they carry all sizes. perhaps when your friend went they just happened to have a lot of small sizes. good luck!

My weight changes between 132 - 137. I know you're weight tends to be lighter in the morning and heavier at night but I didn't think it was supposed to be that big of a difference. If it matters, I am on a diet trying to loose weight and that makes it hard to know if I'm making progress or not. Thanks In Advance, I'll Rate.

weigh yourself the same time of day when you do. mine changes like that to...i have heard it's normal.

ok, at my school EVERYBODY is rich. im the complete opposide. my dad hasnt had a job for about 4 or 5 years, he finally got a job but his boss always forgets to pay him. all of the girls at my school are soo gorgeous. im not calling myself ugly, because i know im not. i just need some confidence. all the girls here are all preppy beautiful girls who wear nothing but abercrombie. see i cant afford to spend 150 bucks on a jean skirt, while all the other girls can.

there is this girl johanna. she and i are pretty close. she is one of the prettiest girls in school. all of the 6th, 8th, and 9th graders think she is soo pretty. whenever i hang out with her i feel so ugly, not to mention poor. every guy loves her, i mean why wouldnt they?

all i want to know is some tips to get the guys to like ME. and how to fit in with all of these gorgeous rich girls. i just cant think of any ways.

anyone want to help me :/

i have a really neat idea- i shop at marshalls & tjmaxx sometimes, and just the other day i got american eagle jeans for 8 dollars! you should go to one of those stores & check it out, if you really look hard you can find a lot of the same stuff those girls are wearing for way less. i have seen 7 jeans there, abercrombie tshirts, shirts from express & rampage, abercrombie jeans, & donney and bourke purses just to name a few. you should head to one of those stores & really look around, because they really do have all of this stuff for a lot less!
also -if all those girls care about is the way they look, then they aren't good friends.
but anyways, try a store like marshall or tjmaxx...good luck!
