ohkay well im going to highschool next year.
and im pretty sure im going to be in the spanish class. where are some good websites to learn spanish words and stuff like that. i want to get a head start in it.

thanks :D.

you could get a book from someone in a spanish class this year so you know what kind of vocab is good to know. the first year you learn colors and days of the week, the weather, etc so finding out what vocab you need would be a start. another thing you could do is look in a spanish/english dictionary which you will be needing next year anyway...find words you use a lot like computer, waterbottle, shirt, bag, pencil and that should help you for when you need to start writing sentences. if you need anything else, lemme know.

13/f I wanna completely redo my room. Theres a problem though, how do I approach my parents about it since my dad doesn't like spending a lot of money and my parents usually say no before even thinking about it. Its just that... I'm a teenager now, and my room is nice and all..but its just /boring/. I want to make it beach themed, and I want wooden floors and orange walls, orange comforters on my bed with the right shade of blue pillows and orange pillows on my bed and stuff. I know how I want my room exactly, but I dont know how to convince my parents since I know the money will add up no matter what, and we just got a pool heater so that took alot of money.

Aside from that if my parents say yes I'm having trouble finding just solid orange comforter! I found one on walmart that was almost perfect! But it was furry sort of, which I didn't want. I just want a solid comforter, can anyone give links to places that HAVE them? Please dont send me to sites like ikea, and say to check them because I checked those and they dont have them. Please just look and see if they have one and give me the link to the page if you can.

Thanks so much.

if you want to get it by your parents, compromise some things. instead of getting everything at once, get it as you find it or redo your room as a birthday present. knowing my parents, the wood floors wouldn't happen but everything else is do-able. about the orange walls... and orange everthing... that might be a bit much. if they won't let you paint it orange, get a lamp and put in an orange light bulb. you'll probably grow out of the all orange thing eventually anyway. i don't know where to find everyting you want but that's just how i would approach the parents about it.

Okay...so...i wear a bra. But, the only thing is its not the type of bra wiere you close it at the back....it doesnt have the hook. It's a bra...that you just put on..no hook or anything. It's by the company, Freestyle. So...is it okay to wear those kind of bras? Or, do you have to wear the "hook-bras"? Please help!

that's fine...it's a sports bra right? there's nothing wrong with those besides that they are annoying/uncomfortable to people with a big cheast but other than that, it's prefectly fine.

I was reading your advice to the person with the questions about NY> and i noticed that you said knock off purse? i looked up pics of it on google but they look like normal purses. What are they?

oh haha ok so they're purses that are fake... like you know how louis vuitton and coach and prada are pricey? well knock offs are fake ones. some look a lottt like the actual ones but theyre not (otherwise they wouldn't be so cheap!) it helps to know what the real ones look like so you get a good fake. the street vendors usually try to sell them for like $60 but you can get them down to about $20 if you talk to them.

Next week I'll be going on a New York trip with my band through school. I'm really excited!

I just have a few questions for anyone who lives there or perhaps has traveled there before:

1) Is it a bad idea to carry around a purse? Should I just keep my wallet in my pocket so no one can grab it and run off with it?

2) Do some people actually try to steal necklaces off your neck from right behind you?

3) Are there a lot of homeless people?

4) Has anyone tried any of the following restaurants: Chevy's Fresh Mex, ESPN Zone, B.B. Kings Blues Club and Grill, or Tavern on the Green? Are they any good?

5) What are some cool places to shop in Times Square?

6) When I take the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty, will it be freezing cold because of the water?

Anything other helpful info would be appreciated.

well i don't know the answer to everything and mikecft knows the city better than i do but i'll give you info from my experience...
it's not bad to carry a purse around... i've never had one stolen or anything. buttt you might want to buy one of the knockoffs on the streetcorners so i guess you can start off with a wallet in your pocket.
ive never seen anything stolen off of someone's neck... it's not as ghetto as you think haha
ive only seen like a few homeless people there but i guess i haven't ben there enough times... it's not like a hobo every step you take. there's a lot of rich people there...
cool places to shop... tiffany's on 5 ave is cool.. the square is always too packed for me persoanlly.
as for temp... bring a light jacket cuz it's kinda windy.
other info- knock off purses are big... get a good fake tho. the corner shops are the best :)
have funn!

Okay so today my bf fingered me for the 1st time and i wanna give him a handjob or blowjob but im really shy about that stuff. like i dont know how to start it, i mean i dont just wanna be like 'hey pull down your pants' lol but yea im not sure how to let him know i want to and get it started. Please help

you have a couple options.. you can talk about it before hand (he iwll be thrilled and will be dying to see you) so then he'll know before hand (mention it at a good time tho haha) or you can rub outside his pants like everyone else said and see what goes on orrr while you are making out, kinda mess around there and unzip his pants and just go for it.

what is the point of wearing a wife beater under your shirt?

there's several different reasons:
*to cover up a bright colored bra
*to layer shirts
*as an undershirt (guys mostly)
*to cover cleavage shown by low cut shirts
*to add color

I was babysitting this ten year old... he was bein a brat and wouldnt go to sleep... my girlfriend was there and we couldnt have any time alone... so we had coke n we did it cause we were gonna have to stay up to watch him... he said he wanted to try so we let him... he started running around and actin like an indian... we got a pipe and some pot and smoked... he wanted to try but when he did he coughed n said he didnt want to do it... i told him if he didnt he would die... so we smoked 3 bowls with him and he got sleepy and went to bed... I feel bad that i gave this kid drugs... His parents never found out... what should i do???

never babysit again.. please.
this story is so ridiculous that i don't think telling the parents would do any good because they probably wouldn't believe that someone they hired to watch their kid gave the kid drugs.
get some treatment for yourself and your girlfriend. this is wrong and you should feel absolutely horrible for your actions.

i heard you can't get high the first time you smaoke marijuana
is this true??

i think it really depends.. some people start coughing and dont really get high and others take decent hits and get high and have cottonmouth and everything. so basically it varies.

my boyfriend wants to have sex.
im cool with it, except for the fact that i have bad tan lines from my bikini.
i LOVE to lay out by the pool and therefore have tan lines. going to a tanning bed is out of the question.

what should i do? im self conscience about my tan lines.

i don't know a guy that wouldn't like that.
if you really hate them, get the sally hansen instant tan stuff (the spray). it works well on me personally.. its worth a try. i spray it on and spread it with a makeup sponge.

So im a 15/f. I havent had my first kiss yet! Not to sound cocky like at all, but Im cute! I know afew people who like me, and I'm sure wouldnt mind hooking up. So my question is, should I keep waiting for that special person/time for my first kiss? Or should I just hook up with someone and get it over with. I mean no offence but im so kiss horny! lol I want to hook up with someone so bad, but I also dont want to ruin something potentially special you know? Is your first kiss really that big of a deal? THANKS!!

i waited for mine and i strongly believe that it was worth it and better that way. i mean, if you really wanna get it over with then fine but i would wait if i were you.

ok.
i have this boyfriend and he really likes me. He wanted to have (you know what starts with a "s") i said no. we are too young! he said ok and it was fine. a couple weeks later, he was at me house and we were the only people there. We were studying for a big test. He said lets take a brake. i said ok. i started to sit on my beD AND eat some popcorn. when my back was to him, he jumped on me! i almost screamed. he was flat faced on top of me. He said "how does this feel?" and he started to have it! i kinda liked it at the time. He was very vigerous with me but gentle too. after, he slid off me and pull all me clothes off. EVERYTHING except my bra/underwear. then, he put himselft close and tore it off. he said "oops!" i pulled away but he had me. then he took off everything and he started again. kissing and touching me everywhere. Even me private spots then he sucked on me breats like a baby. and puuled his arms in between my legs. naked. and said like this? i didn't answer. he started to touch his under private part with mine. while still sucking on me. then he said this is boring. and stopped. then he pushed me into the shower. by now i was getting into it believe me, this is not rape. he turned on the shower me got us wet and went out on my bed and he started sucking on my underprivate part and feeling my breats. I started to love it. it felt tingleing. he stayed like this for a long time. then he took my hand and putit on his private part and kissed and everywhere even my parts. now, i can't face him.. what should i do?

well you're obviously not ready...
if you don't think it was a rape because you liked it, then it was just your mistake that you sat on your bed with this guy... what do you think he want's to do on a break on your bed..

So yea. I'm getting them removed on the 10th of May. The party will be allllll about eating food stuff that I wasn't allowed to eat while I had my braces on for 2.5 years (caramel, gum, carrots, etc.)

What should be on the menu? =)

I'm looking for stuff that people with braces used knife and fork to eat (pizza,sandwiches,etc.)

Thank you =).

corn on the cob!

fun stuff to do while making out?

it depends what you are into... some people put candy in their mouths or gum... you could suck on their lip, touch them, play with their hair, "guess the lipgloss flavor", or anything else that runs through your mind while you are doing it.

i am meeting up with my boyfriend tomorrow evening for the first time.so,i dont know what i should wear.

please give me some ideas for my:
outfit
shoes
hair
make-up
jewllery

i dont really want anything too dressy just something casual but sexy and cute at the same time

thanks a million,xxaoifexxx

it depends what you're doing... if its dinner and a movie, wear a little sundress with a jean jacket over with matching flip flops and accesories. it you're doing something active, go with cute jeans and a nice top (like a vneck from a&f) and flats.
kissing... just go with the flow. i know you just want to know every single detail and all but just find out for yourself and its a lot more exciting.

I`m only 13 and my parents treat me like I`m 18 and they won't buy me ANYTHING! They make me pay for my clothes, my food when I go out to eat, staying at hotels for a family vacation, and basically everything. They won't even buy me a pack of gum! I'm only 13 and I can't really have a well-paying job and I already walk dogs but that can't pay for everything.. I can't even shop anymore because I don't have enough money for more then 2 shirts and as soon as I buy 2 shirts I have to save up for another 3 months until I have any money again.

It really annoys me because my friends always brag about how their mom took them to the mall and bought them 9 bags of clothes and they didn't have to pay. My parents haven't bought me any clothes since I was 11. My mom never takes me to the mall because she says "I don't like to drive and it's too far away." Yeah, the mall is literally 10 minutes away. I still have all winter clothes to survive in this summer because I have NO money to buy anything and my birthday has already passed.

Don't you think it's harsh to make a 13 year old pay for EVERYTHING including like gum and stuff?! The most I can do is walk dogs and it's not like they are punishing me for being a bad kid because I get straight A's and I'm never in trouble so it's not a punishment.. I think they are so harsh because clothes are a necessity and all of my friends sit on their butts and get everything handed to them and I`m trying to pay for everything and it's not going to work out.. I've already tried telling them that it's impossible to pay for my own wardrobe and food and stuff when my only way of getting money is walking dogs because my parents don't pay me for helping out around the house and stuff.. so how can I get them to lighten up and at least pay for SOME of my clothes and other stuff? because it would be helpful if they pitched in a little bit.

P.S if you think I should start babysitting to make money how do I bring this up with my parents?? and I ONLY want to babysit for my neighbors so should I tell them straight out I want to babysit or should my mom tell them?

My parents were like that when i was 13... i learned a lot really fast. when you shop, go straight for the sales. go to thrift stores, trade clothes, reuse stuff you had a while back.. go cheap on everything. flip flops are 2 for $5 at old navy, shirts are $6.95 on the sale rack at american eagle, there are $7 purses at H&M, theres $1 jewelry at hot topic (they have a big sale going on right now) and sales at hollister have shirts for $13. try ross, tjmax and other places like that. if they make you pay for school lunches, pack everyday. hotels for family vacations... that's extreme.. stay in their room on a couch or stay at a friend's house while they're out. family dinners... get something from the kids menu (i'm serious... it's like $5 and they can't say oh you're not 12 and under..). it's less food but you can eat when you get home. i know it sucks a lot but it teaches you a lot. i'm so good with money now... my younger bro never had to pay for anything and he has noo idea how to manage his money. if you need anything else, lemme know.

So me and my friends we are really good kids... and we have really wanted to do something i dont know "rebellious" so should we?? we were either gunna drink or go get high or something... but i would just be a once in a lifetime thing though. oh and i am 14 by the way

Well i was definatly 14 once...
so i do understand why you would want to but look at it this way... once you do it once.. you won't be known as good kids anymore. that means you'll lose trust and friendship from other people that didn't participate in the "rebellious" activity. a lot of people drink, but the fact is that it's bad for you. i'm not saying that anyone that gets drunk is gonna die or get raped but sometimes it's just not worth the hangover or the puking.
pot won't do as much damage but it'll give you a bad reputation, trust me. don't make a habit out of any of those. if you need anything, ask.
