♥STD stands for Sexually Transmited Disease (examples: Aids, HIV, Herpes, Ghonnorea, etc.). You get these by having unprotected sex and other sexual acts. These are bad. Some can cause death. The best way to avoid a sexually transmited disease is to bring your boyfriend/girfriend and go get tested.

♥Actually, you can get as much as you want from the stores you listed on Ebay brand new. Ask your parents if you can do some school shopping online this year, it's so much cheaper than shopping at the real Abercrombie or Hollister (etc.) stores. Here are some websites you can check out besides the stores you listed:

Target is really inexpensive and good quality (believe it or not), you can try and get some of your basics there. Thats all I can think of right now. Sorry I wasn't much of a help, I'm more of an edgy dresser and like different stores.

♥Sure! No problem, I love to meet new friends. My IM is Confetti x Heart .

♥Well wait a second. Your mom probably likes living at her bofriends house. That's why she decided to move there in the first place. You have to consider your mother's feelings before putting yourself above her. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean other people do. Raising money will just be a waste of time because she most likely will just stay where you are. Try and find the positive not negative in things. If you know your mom is unhappy living at this house, see if you can have kind of a "family meeting" and talk about it. I hate to say it, but you're probably stuck there no matter your opinion.

♥Make her something crafty that will really mean something to her. It doesn't cost any money, and you can do it at home. Maybe try making a big card full of a collage of things that she likes (travel pictures, sports articles, etc.). Now you have made something that will be meaningful. But wait, you still have the $30! Next time you head to the mall, find her favorite store and get her a $20-30 gift certificate. Stores like Old Navy, and Gap are ones you can't go wrong with, all moms practicaly love them because of the low prices and simple clothing. Now all your money is spent, what else can you do? Look around your kitchen for cake mix and bake a cake for her, decorate it to say something like "I love you mom, happy birthday!". I guarentee with these gifts you won't have to do chores for weeks.

♥You just answered your own question:

"Its 8th grade and all the guys are into sluts"

It's completley thoroughly totally true. Right now guys are just coming into puberty, and want the farthest thing from a real relationship. They go for the slutty girls because they want to experiment. In a few years, some (yes, only some) will grow out of this. You just have to wait it out, you'll eventually find someone who cares about you and thinks your beautiful the way you are and is ready for a relationship like you are. It could be this year, next year, etc. Try dating outside of your school.

♥12 is a young age to even think about using tongue, but I think it's okay in your situation because you and him have been dating for 2 and a half years, good job with that. It's really up to you, i'm pretty sure that your boyfriend will be okay with this, but just be sure and maybe ask him. If it feels akward asking him, when you go to kiss normally just do it and try and catch his reaction, if he takes your lead, go for it, if not, he isn't ready.

♥No, you're perfectly normal and straight. Young kids are curious and always do things like that, not anything weird about it. I think every 5 year old had done that as a matter of fact. Don't worry.

♥Regular periods come every month. When you first start your period, it's iregular, so you may get it within 2-3 monthes. 5 Monthes is unhealthy.

♥Well this definitly needs to be special. Try not to make it seem so planned out, that's tacky. Kiss him when you think it's the right time. Try not to worry so much, it's his first time so he probably is inexperienced too. Kissing is just something that comes naturally. Put your lips on his and tilt your head to the opposite side that he does. The rest will come to you, believe me. Don't get so into it with tongue yet, it's a first kiss. Good luck.

♥Yes, you probably either have your period and it's light because it's your first time, or it hasn't completley started yet. I suggest wearing a pad.

♥Veet is basically Nair that you use a bladeless razor to take off instead of a wash cloth. If you like Nair, chances are you'll like Veet. If you don't, then don't use it. If you have never experimented with hair removal creams, try the Veet, you may like it, you may not. It all depends on personal preference. I would say it's worth it, but I just prefer shaving.

♥Nothing. Blood starts out red, and as it gets older it browns. If you see brown blood it just means it's blood that has been there for a while, also, your blood will start to turn brown towards the end of your cycle. If you see brown blood in a pad, you should change your pad a more often. No worries.

♥Well, I have a quote website. There is a variety of different quotes there, I suggest you check it out. http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=aWHOREable_quotes

♥People are saying nothing is wrong and it's normal to have irregular period, partially that is right because periods are irregular the first few years, but this is kind of TOO irregular. 3 monthes is a long time to go without a period. Nothing seriously is wrong, but I would suggest telling this to your doctor next time you have a check up. There might be some minor abnormalities. Also, if you're bulimic or anorexic (or just extremley thin) this is probably the cause, but if not, have your doctor check things out.

♥Ejaculation. It's when a boy/guy/man "cums". Basicaly when sperm comes out of the penis.

♥No, you're perfect. Actually, you can gain a few pounds and still be perfect. The average weight for 5"4 is about 130 pounds, you're all good. You have a six pack, you obviously aren't fat. Sounds like you have a perfect body, keep up what you're doing.

♥Totally. You are entitled to your own friends and your own life. If your boyfriend is THAT insecure with your relationship and THAT much of a control freak, you've gotta talk to him. You need to be able to spend time with your friends, not just his. Make sure you aren't constantly hanging around with other guys without him being invited, but you definitly should be allowed to have friends.

♥Obviously your friend is going through alot. You can try as hard as you can to try and get her spirits up, but don't be alarmed if it doesn't turn out successful. Don't get on her back about being happy, it's a rough time she's going through. Try and get her out of the house, invite her over with a few friends to watch movies or just hang around and talk to each other. Don't do anything to stressfull, I just lost a relative and I totally know how she feels (it's not a good feeling), and losing 3 has got to be depressing. Let her be for a while, make sure you're always there to talk when she needs it.

♥No I totally understand, it's not obnoxious. There really isn't much you can do sadly. You've just got to tough it out, it's part of being a teenager. Pretty much everyone goes through this, whether they make it noticable or not. Give this other girl a chance, maybe the 3 of you can be best friends. If you really just don't like her, wait it out, she might be temporary until she gets a new boyfriend. I know saying "talk to your friend" is the RIGHT advice to give, but of course it really is just going to make matters worse you know? I would say your best bet is to just try and make friends with the other girl. Next time your best friend blows you off, say something like "well why can't we all hang out together?". If you need anymore help, ask as much as you want, I like to help.
