A LOT of people at my school talk about how they always steal from hollister & abercrombie, all the time. they say they never get caught, i really don't think that it's a good idea, but i'm just wondering what are the chances of getting caught stealing at abercrombie or hollister, if you bring the clothes into the dressing room and rip off the tags and stuff them in your purse or whatever. thank you.

Don't do it. I used to steal (very minor things, really.. haha, in fact something really stupid.) and now I feel like such a moron as I look back. I honestly could've just asked my parents for it and they would've gotten me them eventually. I really regret it.

People work really hard for their money to spend on clothes and so should you. No shortcuts. Plus, more people BUY items than shoplift. So.. Not everyone is shoplifting, obviously.

Also, in my opinion, you like things better when you earn them. Not when you do something illegal.

Remember, when you shoplift - it's ILLEGAL. If you don't care, then I'm sure you don't care about other illegal things either.. Right? There are laws for a reason.. and that is because it affects all humans in some way, negatively. Well, except you. So if you think the world should revolve around you.. Then go ahead and be selfish :]

But really, I'm not dissing you. I'm just saying it is very bad, so don't try it! Unless you're really poor or something that you absolutely need to. But even then, you'd settle for wal-mart or something.

Haha, I talk a lot. & I'm not saying that this applies to you, I am not blaming you for anything.. I am just stating my opinion. :) Do what you want though.

you know those plaid shorts from hollister or abercrombie that everyone is wearing?


http://www.abercrombiekids.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10851&productId=316894&langId=-1&categoryId=12152&parentCategoryId=12103&colorSequence=01


http://www.abercrombiekids.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10851&productId=337680&langId=-1&categoryId=12152&parentCategoryId=12103&colorSequence=02


in your opinion, do you think shorts like that are cute?

I actually think they look sort of.. well, dorky. And something that people who go to country clubs or whatever would wear. Like, rich people. But the really annoying kind. I really want to say something white people would wear.. but I mean personality-wise. It could even be a black person, but one who acted white.

Haha, hopefully you get what I mean.

All I know is that I love Hollister & Abercrombie, but I wouldn't wear them in a million years.

What are some things girls do that guys find 'cute'?

Well, I'm really scared of spiders.. and other stupid things.. lmao..

Like once, me and my bf were in the woods at night, and he was like "OMG AN ALIEN!" to scare me because that's one of the things I'm most afraid of.. and then he laughed and he was like "I'm just kidding.." but then I started getting scared, lmao, so I held on to him tightly & haha, then I thought i was really stupid for getting scared but he said he thought that was so cute.. =)

Okay. I have a guy friend...And I love him soooo much...he's definitely my best friend. But in the beginning of our relationship, I told him that I have a step father. It was accidental...and now I regret it. Thing is - I DON'T have a step father...but somehow it spilled out. Now he is questioning our relationship and he doesn't think he knows the "real" me. He thinks I'm hiding something...I know it's kind of stupid...But I dunno. ;_;...Should I tell him that I DO have a REAL father? It's runining our friendship...I know, I know...it seems like a stupid reason...but we are supposed to be honest :( Should I tell him the truth?

Yeah! What's so bad about him knowing if your father is real or not? I don't think it'd affect your relationship much.

I come from a fairly poor family (we are barely holding onto our house, and I pay for my own food, clothing, school supplies, etc.) I turned 16 in November but was unable to have any kind of party (we can't even afford chips and soda for an at-home party). It upset me at the time but I thought I'd gotten over it. Recently, for whatever reason, I've been really upset that I didn't get to have a sweet sixteen. A lot of people forgot my birthday too! I had tried to feel better before by reminding myself that I could have a big 18th or 21th birthday party...but I'll turn 17 as a senior and so all my friends will be in college when I turn 18. I don't know, I just feel like I've missed out on a rite of passage and that makes me really sad. Any ideas to make me feel a little better?

Honestly, after you're 12, birthday parties aren't a big deal anymore. To anyone. The only parties that are cool after age 12 are the kind where people drink & do stuff..yeahhh you know what I mean. Don't worry too much about it.

Edit: Ohh.. haha I didn't know you lived in those kinds of towns.. I thought since you were poor, everyone in your town was like that too.. my bad ;-; But, you could have a party any day :D!

WASSUP??!?!?


Ok, this is a stupid question since I already know the answer...at least I think I do...I guess I'm just paranoid...w/e thats what this site is for

does diet cola....if drank in high quantities...I drink like 12 cans a day....

well if you do that...will it make you gain weight???

Diet Cola has a substance in it called Aspartame, which is basically an artificial sugar.

BUT - A lot of people don't know the dangers of it. Keep in mind that artificial sweeteners are in all diet foods.

They actually make you crave more food / drinks - give you headaches - and cause many health problems!

Ever since I stopped eating foods with this, I have felt much better. Who cares if you're fat! EXERCISE! It's a wonderful thing.

& If you're interested on other things that artificial sweeteners do, google it, or check here:
http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/

There are thousands of websites on this topic.. Don't take it lightly.

I just settled in a new city and my son thinks it's time I began to date again. I'd like to know where the good men are, the ones who are kind and considerate, who have good jobs and have, or have had, families of their own in the past. I don't want married men; I don't want abusive men. I don't want to go to bars because I'm afraid all I'll meet are guys who hang out in bars, and I already have one alcoholic ex-husband! I have a good job, make good money, and am a darned interesting and intelligent person. Where should I go to meet "my kind" of guy?

I think you should try the supermarket. No, not the cashiers. Haha, just walk around, maybe make conversation such as, "Have you ever tried this recipie before? I'm wondering if it tastes good," or just try to make casual conversation with them.

If you see a guy at a supermarket, it's probably because he has no one to cook for him, so he's probably single, unless he's married and his wife sent him out. But otherwise, he's probably just cooking for himself, which is a plus, because he knows how to cook!

Might sound silly, but that's where I would go =D

Hey..well I had sims the original deleux one. And in that one u had to have deleuxe to use the others right? Well..i was wondering if it's the same with sims pets and stufff. My cousin said she has sims2 and it doesn't need the deleuxe to be compatible. So if i want the sims pets....do i need either sims 2 or sims deleuxe?

And also...which is the best sims to buy?

Sims 1 and Sims 2 are two different things.

If you do get Sims 2, then you should buy Sims 2 Pets and Sims 2 Nightlife too. The rest are pretty boring.

Today for Christmas, I got $110 and I already had $80, so now I have $190. Well I was thinking of buying this Coach purse for myself: http://www.coach.com/content/product.aspx?product_no=3337&category_id=460 in the brass/khaki/camel color and I was wondering if its a waste of money for $138? Anyone who has it please tell me if it is worth buying and if it has good quality. Please dont say ask my parents to buy it for me or ask anyone else to buy it for me because they sure bought a lot of expensive things for me for Christmas. Thanks!

~Merry Christmas!

Well, personally, I think it's a waste of money. I saw a purse that looked like that for about 8 dollars at Joyce Leslie. I wouldn't even know the difference if I saw someone with either of them. because not everyone is that into purses.

Although, if you really want it, go for it. There are MUCH better things you can buy with that money than one purse though.

15/F

I had been thinking I couldn't be happy unless I was absolutely gorgeous on the outside. What are some ways, big or small, to prove to myself and the people I care about that you can be happy no matter what you look like. And are there any celebrities or famous campaigns (such as dove) with this message that I can read up on?

Thanks

So theres this girl who used to REALLY like my boyfriend. Once she told me she hated herself for letting him go and she will always have a place in her heart for him. Well My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months and I know he has no feelings for her but it bugs me when she tries to talk all cute to him. The weird thing tho is that I want to be her friend. I talk to her alot and we plan on hanging out. I hate her when she talks to my boyfriend and I'm jelous of her for some odd reason but then I want to be her friend. Is that weird?

It's not weird. Once I tried copying this guy's girlfriend and I wanted to be her friend.. I almost dyed my hair like her too! Don't get too friendly though.. Trust me.

what about neck ?

Yeah, I guess that could be considered giving head if it's like.. the top-ish part..o_o;

im not going to be too graphic or harsh, because i dont want this to be too inapropriate for the site. this is a serious question, and im not trying to be wise or anything. when you give someone head, do you have to stick his whole penis in your mouth?

No, just the head. That's why it's called that. Anything else and it's a different thing.

Lately I've been feeling really insecure about myself, because my boyfriend seems to be talking more and more to this girl. She goes to a different school, but they still talk often. I've asked him about it, and he's said they're just friends.

This is her - http://i12.tinypic.com/2jb0gbb.jpg

This is me - http://i12.tinypic.com/2ezikwm.jpg

Can you guys please give me an HONEST opinion of who you think is better looking? I really need to know if I should be worried or not that he is talking to her, like is she prettier than me? Thanks.

xD.. I don't even see why you are worried in the first place! You look pretty cool actually.

for almost everything my mom makes, she adds onions. i tell her all the time that i hate onions, and she says, "oh there won't be onions". sure enough, there are onions. she says "well they add flavor". and then i refuse to eat it because onions are gross. i used to pick them out but that gets too tedious.

what should i do?

Throw away the onions when she buys them. Or like, tell her to add the onions into a bowl and cook the food (not with the bowl of onions) and then tell her to add the onions to HER plate and not yours.
