advice

I was wondering what you could do or use to hide your tampons in school, like how to discreetly take them from class to class just in case. Because I live in fear of what will happen if I don't... :S

Any ideas?

I used to put them in my bookbag, and I'd wear a light jacket to school so when I needed one I would just look like I'm getting something from my bookbag, and slide it up my sleeve. No one ever knew! haha.

can i use fafsa grants to pay someone who lend me money for school?

Sort of. When you get a grant the money goes to your classes & books, then whatever you have left over is give to you in a check to do whatever you want with it. So however much you had left could go to repay them.

what are some songs that are 2 songs put together? such as the song that is a combination of bittersweet symphony by the verve and dirt off your shoulder by jay-z.

just some other good examples are what i'm looking for.

thanks! :)

don't want you back - eamon and f you right back - frankee.
oasis - wonderwall and green day - boulevard of broken dreams.

that's the only two i know, but i hope i helped! :)

i need to get a new straightener. does anybody know of a good straightener that i can get for around $40.. or less at sally beauty supply? even at walmart. i want one that works really good. price & name would be great. i know that chi's work really good, but they're too pricey & i have to spend my own money i don't really wanna spend that much. thanks!

Helen of Troy is really good. I've had one for about a year and it straightens my hair really good. It was only $40 at Sallys.

K so my dad gets this texting plan with verizon, that has unlimited to people with verizon also, and 500 to people with different services. Anyways my dad said they charged me like 30 dollars extra for texting 700 messages (but they were to my friend who had VERIZON. i didnt even text anyone without it yet!) I'm SUPPOSED to have UNLIMITED! What is wrong here? My dad called up verizon and they didnt give an explanation or something. I dont know. but still. wtf? What happened? Its only like 10 or 15 dollars a month or something. And we got charged 30 dollars extra (not even a full week after I got the plan too!)

I think its just Verizon messing with people. They did the same thing to me. I did get 500 texts a month, and I'd only use maybe 400 total (sent and received) and they'd charge us a lot for that & kept saying I was going over when I wasn't. My dad has talked to some people there though, and this one woman said the people who do the accounts can mess with it, like change stuff in people's bills. So you might want to get your dad to check into that and see if someone might be messing with your bill.

I want to buy bracelets and necklaces for the new school year.
Can someone give me examples of stores that sell cute and not too expensive jewelry?

Claires. They have a thing where you can get 10 items for $5. If you have one around you try Rue 21. They have pretty cute jewelry.

i see people with these baby-pink looking gameboy thingies but i dunno what they are exactly. they could be texting on some kind of phone. it looks like a rectangular piece connected to another rectangular piece? uh

Yeah, its probably what everyone else said. If thats not it, it might be a sidekick. Its a phone from t-mobile.

Everyone seems to mention their senior pics. and
I have senior pics. on the 21st and does anyone
know if it is the cap and gown pics. or is it
just regular pictures? Cause I dont want to miss
it if its cap and gown.

More than likely the regular ones. At my school, we didn't take cap & gown pictures til January or February.

this is kinda weird and all but...what is the easiest branch of military [marines,army,navy,coast guard,national guard,air force]
which one gets the best benifits?
how much do you get?
any expierinces please!!

thank you

I've heard from a lot of people the Air Force is the easiest. I'm planning on going into the Air National Guard. I'm going part time so I can go to college (one reason I joined) and you don't have to go overseas. You will get asked but you don't have to unless you want to, but its extra money. I'll only get $200 a month, but hey, its $200 more than I have.
Anyways, you get bonuses too, no matter what branch you go in. & Your pay also is determined by what your job or rank is.. I have two friends in the Army, and one jumps from planes, and some other things, and the other is going to be a police officer.
I'm not sure which branch pays the best. One of my close friends joined the Navy & he got $38,000 + $4,000 for something else (I'm not sure what) The Air National Guard gives you $15,000 for signing up, I believe.
I think that all branches pretty much get the same benefits.. no taxes on base or post, when you travel (such as flying) you take a plane with other military people & its cheaper, and apparently the hotels you stay in start at like $4 a night. Its pretty good. You also get free health & dental, you can get up to $400,000 life insurance (for the army I know) & when you get married your spouse also gets life insurance as well as your kids when you have them.
I'm not really sure of everything because I'm no expert on it, lol.. but all I can say is research the sites, see what you can come up with & which you think is better. Sorry my information is all over the place! lol

Okay. Well I'm going to be a sophomore this year... I need to get straight A's... How hard was your sophomore year? What grades did you get? Any pointers?

Yeah, it really depends on your school. The school I started at my sophomore year was really hard. My geometry teacher always called on me to answer questions I knew nothing about. I was the only one in the class that hadn't taken geometry before, so it wasn't like I could automatically know what he was talking about. My history teacher confused me a lot, and my fourth period class was changed about four times because they had no idea what class to put me into. I don't think I would have passed the tenth grade if I had stayed there.

The school I changed to, however, was ten times easier. The hardest class I had was Spanish 2, and that was because I wasn't used to the teacher's way of teaching Spanish. But overall my teachers were great, I kept A's, B's, and C's all year long, and even though I was new to the school & environment, I adapted very quickly. I think you'll like it :)

Well since you have one & two, I'm here for #3. The only thing I could come up that it sounds like is called "Same Girl" by Usher & R. Kelly.

Hey, well im looking for colored leggings. When i say colored leggings, i dont mean like black, white, gray etc. I want like pink, yellow, green etc. Does anyone know where i can get leggings with colors like those. Dont give me websites where you have to order them, i need them to be in stores. Thanks.

If there's a Rue 21 around you, go there. I went there today and they had bright pink, green, yellow, and orange. :)

right now i have a 4.0 megapixel huge ugly digital camera with the smallest screen EVER. obviously, i really want a new one. i like taking pictures, and i'm looking for one with certain feautres like-
- 7.0 megapixels or up
- different modes such as outside,etc.
- video option with zoom (it's ok if there isn't zoom)
- my friend has a canon powershot, and it has a cool mode where you can swap colors, idk if canon's are the only ones that have that but i really like that feature.
- basically that's it, i mean i keep hearing all these things about how they find the face ya know like the one with your dad isnt a horses butt or something lol but yeah that would also be nice.

i'm really just looking for an upgrade to my old camera, i want a big screen with lots of features, that takes great pictures with different modes. i'm into photography but my current camera sort of prevents me from taking good pictures. also, i don't want a big bulky one. i want a nice shiny small one haha. and under like $300 if that's possible. so if anyone has any ideas, or has a camera that has all or almost all of these features just tell me because i'm getting so sick of my camera!! thank youu

I have a Kodak Easyshare C703. I love it, and a lot of my friends also have this camera.. Its pretty cheap, I believe it was only $150 maybe. Its 7.1 megapixels & has a big screen. It also takes very good pictures. :)

if your boyfriend calls you at least once a day but then he doesnt does he not like you anymore

It doesn't necessarily mean that.. maybe he's been real busy with stuff, or maybe he ran out of minutes (if he has a prepaid phone) or maybe went over his minutes and isn't able to get in touch with you. Don't worry though, I'm sure he'll call soon.

someone told me that i should upload my pics onto the comp from my phone using vz pix place...i got some pics on there but how do i just get them to my computer..not send them to another phone?

You can send them to your email.. Its like doing a text message, just go to PIX message instead, type in your email in & it should send and you can download it :)

What are some major turn ons for guys? Are there any special things i should do/try while kissing? or aaanthing? I want to blow my boyfriend awayy.

kiss his neck, lightly rub his stomach or sides.. those are just a few i can think of lol

ive been on accutane for almost seven years now and i still get bad acne is there any other things...creams,pills,at home rememides..any advice??

i tried proactive and it didn't work, and my doctor put me on this stuff, its a foam kinda thing and you put it on before bed. its called evoclin, but it cleared my face up like two weeks after i started using it.

Our memories countless
Our friendship endless
There are things you don’t want to happen*
There are things you don’t want to know but you learn*
There are things you don’t want to know but you have to accept*
&& there are people you can’t* live without && maybe your just one of them?

do you think this quote fits for sa friend whos moving? but what do you think this quote means to you?

I think that quote is perfect for whats going on. To me that quote says that you had a good time with your best friend, & there are things you don't want to happen (such as moving) but you have to accept it, but at the same time you'll still miss them. I hope I helped :)

hey! so we have to write a graduation speechh ( graduating middle schoooll)

before reading my speech you should know..
- the theme is THE FUTURE IS STILL UNWRITTEN. MAKE YOUR MARK.
- my school is HBT / Thompson

As we graduate Thompson today, we reflect on the three years of growth and friendship we have experienced as a class. We arrived here in the fall of 2004 from our elementary schools. It didn’t take us long for us to become a family, a class, and not just any class, but the graduating class of 2007. And with the family we have made here, we will continue on our journey into the high school and make a new, bigger family.

Each one of us came from our own small family, our own parent’s arms, to begin our academic careers, in kindergarten. Looking back, elementary school taught me lessons I will keep with me forever, and I am very thankful for such a wonderful first step in my journey. But after those 6 years, we all came to the next step in our journeys, Middle School. What we faced in fifth grade is exactly what we are facing now. New school, new step, new beginning.

I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to experience middle school at such a warm, caring environment as HBT. The 3 years I have spent here have been nothing short of amazing. Through the good times and the bad, Thompson has given me not only knowledge, but the ability to move unto the next chapter in my life. As we progress to the high school, we will forever keep all that Thompson has taught us. We are still learning who we are, but our Thompson family will always be a part of us, that much we do know.

Today marks not an ending, but a beginning. Sure our days at Thompson are over, but our days at not only the high school, but the rest of the world are just getting started. The future is ours.

any suggestions? does it portray the theme?

thanks for reading it! love youuuu.

i think its really good & that it does portray the theme :)

i have a phone now its been about 10 months but its broken so i want to get a new one, so i have to get a new one. my mom and i have a shared plan, like the add a line. i have a few questions:
1) if i cancel my plan, would my mom's be cancelled too?
