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!

It's a really cute purse & all, and it will probably stay in style because I've seen this purse around for awhile now, but personally I think that it's not worth it. I mean $138 is a pretty good deal considering its not a changepurse .. but if you only have $190 and you're gonna blow a majority of it on a purse, I don't really think it's worth it. If you don't really care about it being 'genuine', but looking real, if you go to a purse party, they have usually really cute knockoffs that look almost real, for around $60, or maybe even cheaper. But yea, personally I wouldn't blow most of my money on one purse, I'd rather buy other cheaper things like jeans or shirt. But it's only my opinion. Hope I helped !

i lik this guy but we havent talked in a long time i used to lik him alot but then he left me hangin for my best friend for the longest time wat should i do

If he left you hanging for your best friend, he's definately not worth it! I bet you can get a guy that's 302498xbetter than him &one that will deserve you (& like you , and old you. not your best friend =] )

I really don't know where else to turn right now but here. Okay, I know that I really shouldn't cut myself, but It's addicting. The teachers, my parents, they can't help! They don't get it. My parents say 'Pray'. I am Christian, but what do you do when Faith isn't enough? My teachers tell me I just need to want to stop. HELLO! I've wanted to stop! I can't! Someone please, If you know how to get unaddicted to the pain, please help me!

i totally understand. i used to binge & purge whenever i got too stressed out, or if i was sad or mad.. or even when i was bored. and i only told one person and they just didn't understand. a good thing to do is to actually exercise whenever you're tempted to cut. it'll help you to get it off your mind and distract you, and it's actually good for you. try running, or if your school has a weightroom, even just try staying after school to do that. also try talking to a guidance couselor and i'm sure you can get through this. xo

ive been taking a shower once a day washing my face 2wice a day and all that happens is i brake out more and im getting sick of it and i baught face wash and im starting to use proactive but ive been washing my face for a year and its still not working what should i do

try not to wash your face so much. if you use too many products and wash it too much, it can actually make your face worse. if nothing is still working for you, try going to a dermotologist & they can probably prescribe something for you. =]

Is it normal for a 12.5 year old in 7th grade that is 5'0 to weigh 104 pounds? P.S. This is not about me, this is actually about my sister because I'm concerned about her. She might not seem overweight, but she looks kind of chubby in the stomach area and such. If so, what are some excercises to lose this babyfat? Thanks!

that's fine. plus she's still 12 & probably hasn't started or finished going through puberty yet. just give her a few more years and i'll guarentee that she'll be fine. just make sure that you don't bug her about her weight. sometimes that's how eating disorders can rise, when somebody mentions something about a child being a little chubby, and it's all downhill from there. just trying to help. but yea, she's probably fine. =]

this is really long but interesting!! okay, i'm in 9th grade and he's in 11th. i know that there isnt a chance of us getting together..not much anyways but i can still really like him =P but anyways the things he does confuses me. like he puts his arms around me-in a nice way, hugs me when i don't expect it, has a nickname for me,says i'm pretty and cute sometimes, and stayed after with me twice even though he was going to get in trouble. once was when i was really sad (long story) and at lunch he noticed and even my bff didn't notice at all. so he waited for me way after lunch just to walk with me to class and made sure that i was okay with his arms around me. the other time was when he would've gotten in a lot of trouble. he's a drum major and our school's band takes everything so seriously. i'm in strings btw. but anyways, we had a little school concert for the middle schoolers and after that, he was suppose to go to the band room right away but he walked with me to strings class anyway..well almost there becuase the other drum major appeared in the hallway and in a really strict tone told him to get in the band room right then and there. all those things he did as i've mentioned above gave me a sense that he likes me butt...when the drum major appeared, he took his arm off of me immediately as if he was embarrassed to have his arm around a 9th grader? or maybe it was because he didn't want the drum major to think he ditched band for a girl. idon't know. and right before winter break, i asked for his number (in a friendly way. not a 'omg i luv you!' way) and he wrote i don't know. but they may have been because there was the jazz band playing 2ft away from where we were at lunch.

anywhos, does anyone have a pretty good guess about as to why he wrote "i don't know" and took his arm off of me right away? do you think he likes me?

the age difference doesn't matter at all in my opionion. my best friend started going out with her bf when she was in 9th grade and he was in 11th and they're still going out. but maybe he is embarassed because he doesn't want his friends to think that he has to go after someone thats 2 years younger than him. i know a guy that acts the same way with my friend ( 2 year age difference too ), but he flirts with a lot of girls too .. & he's just like that. so maybe he's just a big flirt, or maybe he does like you & he isn't really interested in a relationship. & for the time when he took his arm off you right away, maybe he felt awkward in front of the other drum major because he was with a girl when he was supposed to be somewhere else. & for the "i dont know", maybe he is just a flirt & doesn't want to lead you on anymore. maybe he realized that he led you on and wishes that her didn't. i really have noo idea ... just play it off and ask him if he likes you or if you guys are just friends. the best way is just to ask him & get a straight answer out of him =]

i like this guy, but hes two years older and he has a girlfriend...should i just give up?

Try to wait it out alittle while... you don't want to give up if you have a chance. =] But thenagain, you don't want to cling to him because you don't want to be the REASON they break up. Just back off a little bit & the relationship probably won't last forever. =]

ive never given my boyfriend a hand job and i understand lots of people have asked how to do it and such, but what do you do after ive "finished the job".. i mean isnt it awkward with what youre left with?

It's not really awkward. If you're comfortable with him then it should be fine. But yea, just keep a napkin handyyy. hahaaa
