I love the summer, and I want this summer to be packed with just tons of great stuff and for it to be really busy.
Would you please tell me any great things you have done with friends in the summer that were awesome?
And any other other ideas?

Thanks, xxx

Here are things i have done/reccomend

-sleepovers (these are good cause you can sleep in as long as you want and not woory)
-Go to near-by resturants (also just fun and nice)
-Just go on a walk (not on a hot. hot day)
-HAVE A WATER BALLOON FIGHT( i had 2 of those and it was TONS OF FUN!!! cause it was hot and we did like 500 water ballons and i invited my friends and got the hose out!!)
-rent DVDs and watch them (scary movies are the best at night)
-one day my friends came over, we each had plain white t-shirts and fabric paint and we decorated the shirts, kinda identicle but different. then we all wore them. it was fun!
-have an outdoor party, in the backyard, do like a potluck thing with waterballons, tons of fun! (my neighbors did this and invited the whole neighborhood, was amasing fun! and we did a water ballon fight)
-just hang out...

thats all i can think of

um, have a good summer

Bascially my friend is rele nice. But she gets what she wants alot of the time-spoiled. She gets away with alot of BS. She curses at her parents often, even when her friends are around. And I know she is jealous because I have invited my friend over who is one of her best friends, but not her b/c she acts like a jerk alot of the time. But I mean she is fun to hang around with. She is bossy. And recently my best friend told me that she called me a bitch behind my back and meant it. I like her and all, but shes always been like this and it's getting worse. I am 14 by the way and so are my friends. Gurls-USA

not to sound mean in any way, but people like that need a serious reality check and look at whats going around them!

but, i would say, ignore it. don't say youre sorry and if it gets bad or if she confronts you, simply tell her why. tell her that she is not fun to hang out with because she is so bossy and sometimes you wished she acted differently.

good luck!

hey my name is lauren and i am still in lower secondary school i need money to go on holiday but i am to young to get a job and i cant think of any ideas at all! to be able to make enough money to go on holiday with. i have had loads of ideas from m8ts but the problem is none seem suitable! i really need to make money fast! its 23rd jam and i need it by early may please give me some advice??? x

the easiest thing i think for you would be to tell your parents how you need the money, dont ask them for money but ask them if they can pay you for doing chores...

also ask around and tel your neighbors that you can do things for them for a fee...

i think that at least this way you will get some cash without getting a job.

also if you tell your parents the amount and when you need it and why, then tell them that you will be willing to work for it, even after the jam..

good luck!

One of my friend broke up with me. He wasn't my bf, and we were just friend. But because he couldn't get what he wants from me, the relationship, he broke up our friendship and said he rather not to be my friend at all. So we are not friends anymore.

I still care about him, but he's not talking to me at all, and ignore me whenever he sees me. (we're in the same classes mostly)

What should I do?
(He doesn't respond my calls, txt, emails, and he block me on him im)

be strong and don't give in

who cares if he is acting this way... you just worry about other important things and let him come to his senses...

this girl that im "friends" (i dont know if she likes me that much) with started this art class with me just cause she wanted to be with her other friend and one time she told me that she hates art and all they did during art was talk talk talk giggle giggle giggle and know her mom is wasting 50 dollars a mounth for her to talk to her friend they see eachother every day at school and then they always get together on the weekends and her mom is a piano teacher she dosnt get much pay so 50 bucks a month is alot for anyone expecily her she only singed her daughter up for art because she thought that she loved it but its just because of her friend so what should i do about this i really want to know cause she is being very stupid she even switched seats with me in art (that was my seat for 2 years i loved that table coverd with red a blue paint ssssooo much) so that she could be next to her friend she is being so so so so so stupid what should i do thanks in advance

wow, thats really dumb of her. how could she feel okay knowing that her mom is working hard to pay for those classes to give her daughter what she wantsi even feel kinda bad for her mom. but there really isn't anything you can do... i mean as sad as it is is between her and her mom...

but it can't hurt if you feel this way, but leave it to her..
maybe eventually her mom will find out, who knows

ok so im a freshman and we just started picking classes for next year in school. for science this year i took honors biology and im trying to decide if i want to take ap chem or just honors chem next year. im a really good student and i know taking ap would look great for college but on the other hand i dont want to take a class that i cant pass and make my sophomore year way too stressful. i do plan on going to a top college, possibly ivy league. im also one of those people whos not happy unless they have an A in a class haha. so any advice from sophomores currently taking ap chem would be great, or anyone taking it/taken it in the past for that matter!
thank you in advance =)

Well, theres a lot of things to consider..

If you took it sophmore year, it would be okay to not get an A, colleges look at the fact that you stuggled in the class and thats what they want to see..
Also junior year is really stressful, with SAT, ACT etc.

I would say that if all your classes are not super high, then take it. Because you have the time to study and won't have to worry about other thing, when you would be a junior.

Also ask your teacher and as her what she thinks, she will be able to help you out.

If you are going to take it , then i would suggest, studing over the summer! that way you would be ahead.

also, can you take AP Bio? i heard its not as hard as AP chem and since you have taken Bio, you know alot of the things, they will just go in depth.

well, good luck with what ever you choose..

I am in Journlism and writing for the school newspaper, but i have NO idea what to write about..nothing..there is ntohing going on at school, and its due tommorrow..any ideas would be helpful..please and thakn you!!

My school new paper just came out (i'll give you ideas on what they did)

so lately everyone in my school has been talking about all the shows we used to watch when we were little, like Doug, Wishbone, PepperAnn, etc..

Anyways, so you could do a article about how we cherish these shows and how the quality of television shows have gone down.. it was a very successful paper cause everyone could relate to it..

My best friend of 15 years was acting a little cozy with my 17 year old son over the summer. Even against countless warnings, she still continued with her behavior. Of course this situation blew up resulting in her husband threatening to leave her and me and her not speaking for over a month. We did resume our friendship a little over 2 months ago, with her convincing everyone that we were imagining things. Recently however I discovered that she has been emailing my son ever since the situation began. Her husband found some emails and did not speak to her for 3 days. I on the other hand had no knowledge at all (even about the recent development with her husband) until I checked my sons email account where I found her latest email stating that her husband found out and she could not email for awhile. I confronted her and she stated that she felt like he needed a friend. The advice she gave to him resulted in a complete anarchy from my son. I feel extremely betrayed and she is acting as if she did nothing wrong. Do I end this friendship?

Ema

I would end the friendship

if it was no big deal as she stated then she would have told you...

besides you have to take care of your son and make sure that your friend isn't "corrupting" him.

she just doesnt seem like a friend at all to me...

i just got a hair cut exactly like this
but how do you make it look like that?
what product/ do you use it when its wet?
and any other details would be appreciated (:

it looks like gel should do the trick, thats what i would recommend..

here is something i found to help you out...
Wash hair thoroughly.
Rinse hair, just as thoroughly.
Towel dry hair with paper towels or soft cotton. If you have hair that frizzes easily you may want to dry your hair after applying gel.
Dispense a small dab of hair gel onto your palm.
Rub hands together, spreading the gel evenly.
Consider some of the several ways for applying gel:
Starting at the front of the head, quickly, and evenly apply the gel to your hair, working it in deeply using your fingers. Make sure you apply the gel through to the root.
Flip your head over and scrunch in the gel evenly. This is good to obtain volume for curly or wavy hair, especially at the roots.
Brush or shape hair to desired style.

hey. well, i'm going to start loosing weight. i've been eating healthy for about a month now, but i just haven't had the time to work out. well, yesterday my mom signed us up for a membership at the YMCA. So i'll start working out now. but i really want some cute clothes to work out in. nothing really tight, something comftorable and cheep, but cute. and also, i've seen on tv shows before that when people loose weight, they have a lot of left over skin so the have to get a tummy tuck or somethin to remove the extra skin. does that really happen? cause i don't want that to happen to me. i want to look thinner, but not with the skin from when i loose weight. please help!!

well, i found that the best thing to work out or excersize in are the cotton sweat pants and a normal tee-shirt, nothing fancy..

like these..

the only reason that some people have left loose skin is because they loose the fat very fast, but im sure that youre not that over weight to have that much acess skin

also the skin streatches back to fit your body gradually so as long as you keep excersizes your body should be okay

I'm writing a short story about electricity and how it helps my city blahblah. But every Jr has this topic. How can I make a creative story? Any subjects to go along w.that? No tornados and stuff..Please..

is it possible for you to do the opposite of the topic?? cause that would be totally creative...

or maybe ask you teacher if you can be sarcastic, like electricity is so great that at night youo can't even see the stars

but i guess you could make it have to do with how electricity makes omputers run and without that, everyone willgo crazy..

give me more info in my inbox, and i'll have more ideas by then :)

If I have an essay for school on my computer is there a website I can submit it to to get it proof-read or corrected?

wen is it do? you could just have your friends read it and proffread it or maybe if its after this week ( i have finals) i could do it for you.

most sites charge to go over papers and stuff, it would be easier if you ask you rteacher to read it ahead of time...

Im 15 a freshman in highschool. Im usually really extremly outgoing but for some reason this year im not. I hardly met any new people and i go a whole class period without talking. If you knew me youd be like nu uh haha. But yeah. Im determind this second semester to change. Im gonna do it. Im just so afraid that people will be like uhm eww? Haha i know paranoid. Just anyone have anytips on just letting loose being myself and being more outgoing? thanks so much!

well, im very outgoing and it seems that every year i get more outgoing!

the easiest way to be outgoing is talking to EVERYONE.. what i mean is starting a conversation with just anybody on anything
also, try cracking more jokes or simply just say what come to your mind (within reasonable limimts of corse)

don't worry about what others will think because as long as you are happy with your self and are confident it will rub off on other people

be yourself!!

this is going to sound incredibly stupid of me.. but im asking anyways
so... i have this friend that i was best friends with... she's really mad and should be after what i did. see, i have this drug problem and i've been working hard to stop and i did until two weeks ago i relasped. well... she found out and was like i warned you many times that if you did them again that i wouldn't talk to you. she isnt talking to me. so now i feel so stupid. i mean i've been calling and texting her... the whole nine yards to apologize. and i mean i know i like really messed up... so i need help finding a way to get her back... she doesnt go to my school either

send her a note by mail or like give it to her or put it on her doorstep

include the following in the note
-you are sorry
-its hard and you are willing to keep trying
-and that you need her help and support to get over it and that with out her being your friends you feel more worse...

if you include that fact that you need her help and her support she will feel like you really want to rtry and are willing to accept help and will hopefully you guys will be alright

Good luck (w/ your friend & your addiction)
remember it will be hard but you can do it,(addiction) but it will be worth it!!
