any creative costume ideas? i want it to be funny and cheap
Go to the thrift store. There are tons of clothes that can give you ideas. You can be a Hobo, a clown, or with some scrubs you could be a nurse. You could be a hippie with a tie dyed shirt or a poncho and wide legged jeans. Or a poncho and one of those sombreroes you could be a Mexican. They have all sorts of wild stuff.

Hey everyone. I'm a 16 yr old female and I've been living with a weight issue all of my life. Both of my parents were big people and of course I ended up the same as them. I've been teased a lot my whole life because of it, people do it without realizing how much it hurts. Right now I'm about 5'7-5'8 and weigh about 190lbs. I really want to lose weight but every time I try, I can't keep up the motivation. I try not eating junk food, I don't drink soda, but I still cant manage to lose the weight. I walk a lot, but the problem is I guess that I don't have people that are behind me in this. My mom keeps buying junk food, and if it's here I'll end up eating it and feel bad for it afterwards. I really need help in doing this alone but I don't know how. I'm hoping someone can help me before it gets worse. I'm hoping to lose a significant amount of weight maybe before next summer. I rate also, thank you so much.
Ok I agree with the other two, but have this to add. Try taking the stairs or the walking the long way around instead of an elevator. Every extra effort counts, and you will feel better. I admit that I don't always have junk food in the cabinet, but I will go get it. Sometimes I am too lazy to go get it and that helps. Lose the remote to the TV and change channels by hand. Its a constant battle, but the fact that you see it now is a good thing.

hey i was wondering, does hem on pants look rele bad? i'll rate!
Not it doesn't look really bad if it is done correctly. In fact, you probably would be the only one that knew about it.

OK, well, I wear glasses. I can see without them but not very well. THe thing is, how am I supposed to have sex with glasses on? Wouldn't it be a bit awkward? For those who wear glasses, do you just take them off or do you leave them on? ANy advice is really appreciated!!
I can't believe I am answering this question. I am nearsighted. So I can still see close up without them on. Really close. So the glasses are more in the way during sex or even cuddling for that matter.
If you are insistent on wearing them while "going to Ohio" then you can get a eyeglass retainer.

Ok the thing is that whenevr my question is answered I give the answerer full five points but people rarely ever rate me!!Is my advicing so bad??
By the way my advice column is butterfly004.
*~~Kariena~~*
Begging people to rate you is a major turnoff. I read some of your column, and you are very consistent with your answers. You haven't answered a whole lot of questions, and that might be one reason.
People sometimes get so many answers that they feel overwhelmed. The easier that your answers are to read and better grammar helps a lot. I wouldn't suggest that your advice is bad. I totally commend you on reading the long questions that I get tired of answering. Just keep plugging away.

This year my mom gave me a budget for school clothes, only 500 dollars. Last year I got twice as much and this money includes clothes, shoes, accesories, bras and panties! I'm spending my money wisely but what should I spend the most on and where should I go?
I spent 200 bucks today and didnt get hardly anything... I went to Buckle, Hollister, and Gadzooks! I need fashion HeLp please!!
Holy Cow. I could do a whole bunch with that money, and only spend 200 on clothes. Go to different stores. Everything does not have to be name brand. The more things you can mix and match the better. Like this belt, that shirt, and pants would also go with that skirt or shorts.
Have a plan in mind before you get to the store about what you need, and some of what you want. If you really get stuck, keep the receipt and take some unnecesary stuff back. Even the thrift store has some cool little belts and things, but you could even spend that much at Goody's and still not need to do that.
Its ok to splurge on one or two things you really like, if you actually wear them. But be careful.

i was in two carwrecks with my mom. i am now in a
wheelchair. i go to the doctor alot so i miss school alot. but i still have a 3.5 . anyways,
i can't go and be in sports anymore and i can't ride the rides at the fair and i can't do all of the stuff i used to. is it wrong for me to cry when all of that stuff gets to me? am i just being selfish and a cry baby? if you could please help. signed,
feelin blu
All right I am just adding a bit. It's hard when you feel like you can't do something you used to do normally. I hurt my ankle really seriously 3 months ago. I am 90% better now, but I had some terrible days of crying, pulling my hair out, and asking why me.
Try to focus on what you can do. There are places on the internet and people who have wheelchairs, and how they coped. Look it up on yahoo or ask jeeves. There are also information on sports and wheelchairs. There may be something close to your town if it isn't in it.
You are going to rehab. That's a good thing. They will help you do things you can't do now and you will be stronger. It was actually fun for me. You get out of whatever you put into it. The harder you can stand to work without hurting yourself, the more you can do each day. Some days you do more than other days.

I had it good for a while. I guess most of us dont realize when to appreciate what you have. I had it so good id do just anything to back on the past. But lets forget me... my sister used to be average wieght.. NOT fat at all just not as skinny as everyone else. I used to call her fat tho just in spite of her when i wanted something and she wouldnt give me something or if we were fighting. I regret that in every way shape or form. PLEASE if you've been calling some1 fat dont do it, you will hospitilize some1 no joke it gets to people. So anyway shes been away at camp for 5 weeks.. and shes not the same. She wont let herself touch a hamburger, or anything besides salad and yogurts and rice cakes and such. She wont let herself have even a rootbeer float.. its so wierd. But worst of all shes not anything like she used to be. She used to be happy. Shes really homesick right now and she admits when she comes back shes going to need therapy because she even KNOWS that her lifestyles are messed up. Its not that she doesnt want to eat all those foods she CANT. She always feels so compared her whole life she has and now im fearing for her and wishing things were back to normal. Nothing has ever been this screwed up in my life i have never been asked to handle this 1nce before in my life and now its my own sister... and i just dont know what to do. Its like no1 cares... my aunt only has mean things to say like shes starving herself and she yells at my sister. Yelling wont help her any! My mom understands and so does my dad and they care but it hurts to see them so worried. I cant take it! This could all be my fault.. i should have never called her names.... what do i do to keep myself from getting overly sick at myself. Im not about to go anerexic or cut myself or anything lame like that im too full of life and i could never stoop down to that level but i always feel like i just want to stay in bed all day. I want my life to be normal, but i cant have that...
for a person thats going to be sensitive to my feelings... *PLEASE* answer asap
and 2 the rest of u.. never say anything you could regret
XoxOO-
Its not good to call other people names, but there is no way that this is all of your fault. Show your sister the love, and help her feel better about herself. She needs your help. If she isn't seeing a doctor about her condition, she should. It can help her get the reality check she needs.
Our lives are surrounded by both the inclination to eat too much and the fight to be perfect, skinny and pretty. It isn't coming from just you. Encourage your sister to be healthy, and teach others and your future children to be wise in their choices.

A few weeks ago my brother and his girlfriend were over at our house and he had left the room to go to the bathroom. While he was gone my brother's girlfriend started leaning on me and saying things to me that she shouldn't have been saying to her boyfriend's younger brother. My brother eventually came back into the room and it didn't happen again. The next week she came over again and did the same thing while my brother was out of the room. But this time she tried to reach her hand down my pants. I stopped her and asked what she was doing. She told me to just relax but I still didn't let her, eventually my brother came back in the room and ended it. She didn't come over the next week and I hand't talked to her since so I thought it was finally over. But last week she IMed me online and started saying the same things she was saying to me in person like she wanted to have sex with me and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get physical with this girl...she is really hot and she has a great personality. The problem is as clear as day though...she's dating my older brother. The other thing is though, my brother and I have never been close even before he left for college. We have also been getting into tons of fights in recent weeks. However my brother really loves this girl and I even overheard him telling my mother that he thinks she is the one. Should I hook up with her? Please help me out...
This girl is just gross. I would tell your brother about her, but be ready for some fireworks because he might not believe you. If your brother has a friend, maybe you should talk to him about it. If she is flirting and teasing other guys, she is not "the one" for either one of you. It might even be easier if you told your mom, and had her tell your brother. This is quite the jam. Hopefully, he will eventually see her for who she is: TROUBLE.

I'm addicted to taking pictures of myself, i have lyke over 400 recent pics. All of my friends lyke always say that I'm lyke conceited or that I'm in love with myself, but I honestly think their just jealous!...what should i lyke do?!@#$^&!?
Like learn to spell like. Anyway. They could be a little jealous. I only have a handful of pictures of myself because I hate being photographed because I don't really like my body.
Don't you think 400 is a bit obssesive?
Maybe you are just experimenting with the camera or producing the many moods of yourself. Light and shadow are different everywhere, and you could take notes on some of your pictures to learn what works well for taking nice camera shots. Then you can take some pictures of your friends (which would probably shut them up).
Is it ruining your life taking pictures? Are you putting off necessary things to take them? If the answer is no, don't worry about it. If its yes, you need help.

All of these alternative spellings make it hard to read your question, and hard to help you.

I'm a great advice columnist but i guess every advice person needs some advice as well.
Ok so about a month ago my sister and my brother in law came to visit us and i was sleeping (it was night time) and I remember waking up for my brother inlaw touching my leg. I didnt think much of it but after that I kept on thinking about it. Well i was at their house and last night he said he was sorry, and i didnt know what he was talking about and i was like for what and hes like I touched you in a place that you shouldnt have been touched by me (higher than my legs) I dont know what to do! because I mean I dont think he was doing it for more than a sec cuz i think i woke up right away but I dont want to tell my mom and dad because my dad would kill him and they would say something to my sister and then my sister and him would probably get a devorice and my sisters really happy. I mean that was the first time but I still cry about it like i feel so violated and i dont know what to do. I cant sleep cuz i think about it. All I do is cry about it. Please help me please!
I promise i'll rate a 5 no matter what! Atleast your trying to help me.
You need to tell someone if it is bothering you this much. I agree with Kevin mostly with this add: find someone you have confidence in so that they can help you. A counselor, a member of the clergy, or a therapist. The fact that you feel violated worries me and suggest you need some counseling of some sort so that you feel better.

Both of my great grandma's just died. I went out shopping with my best friend all day yesterday after going to a doctors appointment with her dad. I feel terrible about not helping my dad with the funeral stuff... Should I feel bad?
You should only feel bad if he needed your help and you abandoned him. Funeral arranging is usually a lot of paperwork and decision about what, where, and how the funeral should be done. Some people like to handle all of this stuff by themselves, and some like someone to lean on. Everyone is a little different. The only advantage to going with him to do these things is to learn what is done, and how all of the arrangements are made. There will probably be other funerals to help with or learn from. If it is really bothering you, talk to him about how he feels. I wouldn't worry too much.

my family is very racist and very controlling when it comes to mixed relationships and recently i started goin ot wit an 18 year purtirican/black guy. i am italian/mexican and im 14 my family stilll does not no and i dont no what i should do bout this i wanna be with him but i dont want my family to disown me at all. what should i do ?
Parents sometimes make no sense when it comes to race. How can they be racists if they are mixed too? Strange. All you can do is what you think is right, and pray for the rest. When and if you have children, teach them not to be racists.
Now he's 18. He is way too mature for you right now. If he has sex with you, its statutory rape and he goes to jail. He has had experiences in life that you do not understand yet. Find someone closer to your age. In the future, he may be able to go out with you, but right now you have to grow up a little.

OK. So I had a dentist appointment this morning and my mom, dad, and brother were all working. So, my dad called my neighbor 'Don' to ask if he could take me to the dentist. He said it was fine and he was happy to do the favor. I could have rode my brothers bike there if I absolutely HAD to...but I wasn't thrilled when my mom suggested the idea. My mom just called and said she was embaressed when she found out that 'Don' had driven me there and back. I don't like it when people are mad at me and now I feel guilty and my happy mood just went to bad. Am I being selfish or is my mom over reacting?
Ok so Mom and Dad didn't agree on how you would get to the dentist. You did what you thought was right, therefore you shouldn't feel guilty. Mom may just be concerned about you (if you are a girl) and may have thought it inappropriate for you to be with a man not of your family. Dad just saw a friend doing a favor. Don't worry, it will all blow over.

I don't think your guy friend is gone forever. Give him some time, and he may start talking to you again. It will take a while to rebuild that relationship of trust as friends. It is not easy after you have dated your friend but not impossible either.
As for Mr. New Guy, start talking to him. It will be a little hard at first. The more you know about him, the more you will like him, and the more you trust him. Take one little step at a time. And you are 13, you have your whole life ahead of you now. Don't let a dude spoil your fun, ever.

I have been cheerleading for 3 years now. this past winter, i hurt both my knees, bad. i went to the doctor recently and she said that it was a rare disease that would take about 2 more years to go away. she said if it got any worse, i would have to stop cheerleading. cheerleading is what i do-it's my life. i can't just stop. what can i do to help my knees not to hurt as much? help!
~Injured Cheerleader~
Stretching out before practice and games will help a lot. I wouldn't take took many aspirin or advil because it will eventually hurt your stomach. If its swelling after practice, put ice on it; CVS and Walgreen have these cool strap on ice packs you can keep in the freezer. I would ask the doctor if there was anything you can do to help.
I know its hard to have to quit doing something you love. Maybe you could become a cheerleading coach for younger children. They could use your help learning cheers and routines, and they don't always do the jumping and lifting the older children do. Don't count yourself out before it happens.

i rele didnt no what to call this
last school year i was rele flat if u no what i mean and now im not but im not fake how do i get people to realize that? because all the guys think i stuff what am i suppose to do take off my clothes and prove it?
Guys are really slimy. Forget about them. They don't realize that we grow, and we grow for a little while. You won't be the only one they are picking on. Who knows, they probably like you.
