I've had my license for almost a month now and my mom STILL won't let me drive alone! The insurance they pay, the money they spent on drivers ed, and me getting my license were all a complete waste of time and money! What good is all that stuff if I can't use them?
Well, I talked to my mom about it yesterday and she said she'd think about it.
We were out shopping today and on our way home she dropped off a prescription at Walgreens. When we were leaving, she said that I could come pick up the prescription when it was ready, ALONE :D!! Exciting, right?!! NOT!!!
When it was time to pick up the prescription, she said I COULDNT GO! How messed up is that? I mean seriously, if she wasn't going to let me go, then why get my hopes up?? I was all ready to go too.
That just got me so upset it's like I can't even trust her. I would have been okay if she never said that I could go in the first place because I was used to it but when she told me I could go when we were leaving Walgreens, I got so excited.. I told her that she was ridiculous and that she shouldnt change her mind like that and went upstairs. I don't normally talk back to my parents but wouldn't you but really mad? I don't know what to do it pisses me off so much!

im in drivers ed right now and i think part of the reason that she hasnt let you drive alone yet is because parents worry sometimes that when they arent in the car with their teens when they drive, they will drive wrecklessly. im not saying that you because i seriously doubt that especially when you made that grade on your test! im in drivers ed right now and we watched this video where parents put cameras in their teens cars and watched their driving for 6 months. you wouldnt believe some of the stuff these kids did when their parents werent around! she may be worried for your safety, and she is just trying to protect her child, alot of parents have a hard time accepting that their children are growing up and giving them freedom. have you talked to your dad about it?( if you live w/ him) if not, try talking to your mom again and listen to what she has to say, ask her what shes so worried about? if you understand her better youll understand where shes coming from better. good luck!

If the clothes from abercrombie are so...thin....why do they cost so much?
And I don't want this to sound mean, but why do so many people buy their clothes there, just for them to shrink in the laundry? (link)
| |
lol i know exactly what you mean! and i totally agree, thats why i dont shop there, its funny how clothes from like old navy and kohls, gap, aeropostale etc. cost less but are more durable! the reason its so expensive is because of the brand tho, and its popularity. american eagle is a bit better but still sorta iffy sometimes. fortunately there are cami's for the ultra thin clothes so you can wear those under and you feel like your actually wearing somethin! dont worry about abercrombie just shop at different stores and let the idiots who want to buy it buy it!

14/f. sorry if this is realllyy long lol, ill try to keep it short.
ok so first off. i'm REALLY shy. like in school, everyone [well not everyone but some people who are really immature] tease me about "never talking" and this really pisses me off because just because i'm shy, quiet and well-behaved in school doesn't mean i never talk. infact at home and with my friends i'm so loud and talkative that they can't shut me up. =D but being shy is a huge problem for me that i can't overcome. anyone that i'm not really close to, i can hardly speak to. yeah if they say something to me i'll answer, but it's not like i'll go out of my way to ask them a question. and in school its the same way. so i'm gonna be a freshman. and like high school=new people. how can i overcome my shyness and open up to them so i can get more friends? because as of right now i have 2 best friends who i've know forever and i can totally be my true self around them, love em to death and can tell them anything. i also have a few other friends, not as close but i can still talk/hang out with them. i dont consider myself popular, even tho i think the cliques and everything are really stupid. this leads me into the second part of my question lol...
there's this boy i like. it'll be 2 years that i like him in july. he, unlike myself, is pretty popular. always flirting with other girls, hanging out with the guys, etc. now, this isnt one of those cases where the unpopular girl just like the popular guy because he's hot and everything and never talked to him before. i used to talk to him. he actually considered me his friend. he actually LIKED me. it all started in the summer before 7th grade.. when he actually wasnt as popular [this year he kinda changed and has been hanging out with a different group of people] anyway, he told me he liked me online and we talked. i started to like him, told him i did. in november of 7th grade, he asked me out [online and through my friend however]. and here's the turning point. i said NO. why ? well, he would've been my first real boyfriend, i'm really shy [as i said before].. you see, it was easy talking to him online, because it wasn't face to face. in school though, it was a whole different story
i dont know what happened. after i turned him down, we still talked for a while [which had to be really awkward for him] after a while though..he just lost interest in me i guess..and our conversations slowly got boring. and we didn't know what to talk about. and he hardly said anything. and i did most of the talking. it was the same in the summer before 8th grade. i became almost obsessive in a way. i was IMing him like everyday. and he would hardly say anything. then 8th grade started and i just said to myself "this isn't going anywhere" and i gave up. i seriously haven't talked to him online since like september or october.
but now, i'm going into highschool. and i really want to start talking to him again. do you think i have a chance left? i mean.. september was a long time ago. it would be really awkward iming him and i'd have no clue what to say. it would probably be like those days where he hardly say anything. "hey..hi..whats up..nm u..nothing..cool" and so on. that's what our convos were like. i dunno. would iming him again be a good idea? ughh there's like so much more to the story but it would prob. go on forever..what should i do? so sorry it was so longg! (link)

i think you should definately im him! you havent talked to him in a while just be like hey, i havent talked to you in a while! and so on. just be sorta random not like in a crazy way just ask him what does he think about going into high school, try to get your friendship back up to normal like it used to be. and as far as you being shy, im the same way! i know what your going through, i went through it last year and it really isnt too horrible! true, scary at first a new school and ALOT of new people can seem overwhelming but just be open minded! you dont have to be like extremely out there just come out of your shell a little! you dont have to be over talkative you cant just jump into a major change in your personality like that, its a gradual change and over time you will be more loud and comfortable in awkward situations ex: first day of highschool. just hang with your friends, and try to meet the new people sometimes it happens without you even notice it and boom, you have alot of new friends! dont be scared and good luck!

Ok, I met this girl at a friends party a while ago, she seemed nice. A few days ago he had another party and I talked to the girl again, and we are now friends on myspace. Here is where the question comes in. She is hitting on me, and telling me we should hang out. I am not sure of how I feel about her, so I was wondering what a safe way to hang out with her would be so I can avoid the question until I get to know her a little better. (link)
| |
group dates are best for this situation because you get to know her and how she responds to certain types of people in certain invironments. you shouldnt feel too out of place because yall will have friends around and you can ask your friends what they think because your friends know you best. have fun and dont stress over it if yall dont work out as a couple yall could be great friends, good luck!

I have these two best friends in school. I've known them like 9-10 years now. Basically they're like sisters. One's 15 going on 16, the other's 14 going on 15 and I'm 14. Well let's see since last week they have been being biotches to me...well the one going on 16 is. The other one is pretty nice to me.
The same one who's being mean to me hasn't been like this to me ever. Plus we might be going to diff classes or schools nex term...in 3 mnths and well we have 2 weeks together again. Is this why she's being mean? And I realy don't want to confront her cause last time she reallly got annoyed and everyone in class messed up my year. (link)
| |
she might be being mean because of that, or she might be upset about something stupid or jealous of you for some strange reason etc. there could be alot of things upsetting her but if shes treating you like that then distance yourself from her, you dont want friends like that

i really want to get my driving permit over the summer and i've already studied some of drivers manual. i just dont know what kind of questions or situations they will ask. i have tried lookin for stuff online and i just hate guessing on the questions and not knowing the actual answer. please if u know any questions can you also provide an answer. please and thank you (link)
| |
im in drivers ed right now, and the permit test is REALLY easy. you need to know the signs, what colors stand for what etc. you need to know right of way and when to yield as well. most drivers manuals for the state have questions in the back for practice. you may want to read the entire manual if you dont have the questions though. you need to know about the headlights when to use dim etc. you need to know when your supposed to signal and that youre supposed to flow with the speed of traffic and slow down in bad weather. youre also supposed to dim your lights 500 feet from a oncoming car so you dont blind them with your brights. know that the line down the middle of the road is white when its a one way street and yellow if its 2 way. good luck! ( if you have anything else you want to know, like questions about driving just ask!)

Okay so there is this guy that I really liked. We went out for like 2 and a half months and then I broke up with him, but it was rather mutual. During the school year i had my first two classes with him and it is so wawkard. We never talk and he is cool and I want to hang out with him and everything but we haven't talked in months and everythings so awkward. Hes cool and so are his friends. THis is exactly what I didn't want to happen when we broke up. Any ideas on how to reconnect? Ill rate high for any help. (link)
| |
its hard to go through something like that. i went through something similar only it was with a crush and when he found out everyone made a big deal and we got all awkward around each other and since im so shy and hes so quiet it took like 2 months for things to go back to normal. hopefully it wont take that long, but trust me it will stop feeling so weird after a while. just be nice to him say hey ask him how he is etc. get used to being around him again and everything should be okay again. even if yall arent friends after this, you wont be uncomfortable anymore. good luck!

14/f i play music (sing & play guitar/piano) and lots of it i would call country music. most kids hate country music, i know! but i love it. i really want to have a carreer in music but i don't want all my friends and people i know to be hating the type of music i play. should i just go for it or should i change my style a little, more pop or rock or something? please tell me your thoughts on any of this. thank you! i rate (link)
| |
i love country! its some of the best stuff to sing and im a year older than you. truth is ALOT of people like country and its probably alot safer type of music to get into. its great that you want a career in music dont worry about what your friends will think it only matters what you love to do. i say go for it dont change who you are if you go for pop or rock then you wouoldnt be following your love for country! good luck and go for it!

Alright, I'm in a sticky situation because my BEST FRIEND likes me. (guy) and I really like him...but he was my friend first and I'm thinking that if I date him then it'll ruin our friendship. I've talked to him about it and he says that it won't (which on one hand I do believe him bc he's not one of those guys that tells you what you want to hear unless it's true) I love spending time with him, in fact I've been over at his house more this summer than my own i think lol. I also like the fact that he has seen ALL of my quirkey moments and still likes me for them. Like I said, I just don't want to lose my best friend. That would devastate me. What do you think that I should do??
love

it sounds to me like your comfortable with him which is good for a relationship because you dont feel awkward around him. he sounds really nice and sweet i say go for it. i think yall really will be friends if it doesnt work out afterwards. the only problem you may have is that once yall start dating you feel more like yall are hanging out and less like your on a date. that happened to my friend and her boyfriend at first but theyve been dating for over 5 months so i think it will really work out for you! and dont be afraid to take the chance because if you dont, youll wonder what would happen if you had said yes. good luck!

I graduated high school back in May and all throughout high school, I never really liked cared for or paid attention in any classes like algebra, physics, pre cal, etc. I'm a pretty smart girl, I just didn't care. I convinced my parents to let me take a semester off before going to college because I really don't want to do. I don't think its right for me. I know I will most likely flunk out because I really don't care about any of those classes that are required.
What I do know is designer, fashion, and clothes. And I know it good. Gucci, Burberry, Fendi, Dior, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Prada, you name it. Well, I got a job offer at Chanel in the Galleria, here and this is my DREAM job. This is something I want to do and something I'd care about. I'd just be the "welcome girl" (welcome people into the store, show them around, make suggestions, etc.) but it's a place I can work my way up from. The lady that wants to give me the job started the same way and now she makes 95,000 working for Chanel!! And she didn't go to college either. All she did was take training courses and such, offered by the company.
So here comes the problem, my parents. They told me I could take the job if I wanted but I'd still have to quit and go to college come January. I've talked to them about it so many times that I'm just sick of it. I don't know why they think that just because I turned 18 and graduated high school, that I'm going to start caring about school, because I'm NOT! It just isn't for me, but Chanel is. They’d be wasting their money. What do I do here?
(link)
| |
they cant make you quit. what they can do is throw you out of the house tho. take the job and if you really love it come january then tell your parents you arent quiting. it may not work out tho and you may like the idea of quiting come january. you never know so go with it and take the job see how it works out, college will always be there for you to go to go. good luck!

this boy i've been kind of flirting with for most of the school year. and he's been definitly flirting back! and on the last day of school our friends made this poser saying "go out already" and got the ENTIRE class to sign it! including the teacher. everyone thinks we're meant to be. and then today he i/med me saying that he has this g/f who i dont like, and like bragging. I couldn't believe it. and then he told me that he was gonna ask me out but then it didnt work our. and when i asked how it didnt work out he said he truly didnt know. im jealous and sad. he said it might work out later, and i said that idk because i dont want to be the second choice
and idk what to do.
thanks ♥
*jackie* (link)
| |
your totally not in the wrong for not wanting to be the second choice. id be pissed if i were you. and being jealous is totally understandable, you liked him, you wanted him, and now you cant have him. As far as what you should do i say be friends with him, not best friends or anything like that but you dont want to give him the cold shoulder. if they break up and then he asks you out right after id say no because he may dump you for another girl if he thinks hes found a better one and youd ont want that! find a new crush theres alot of guys at there and alot of them arent jerks like tis guy seems to be when it comes to dating. good luck!

I want to donate 10 inches of hair to Locks of Love. I've done it once and the haircut was free but it was at a really lame haircut place. Do most salons (nicer ones) cut it for free if its for locks of love? how can I know who does and who doesn't? thanks. (link)
| |
some do some dont but you have to ask around. my sister did and it wasnt free but she went to a salon and they styled her hair really nice after and she loves it so if your not afraid to drop some cash go to a salon to do it. and if you waht it to be free then go to a "really lame haircut place" good luck!

How old is way too young to have sex? my bf wants to with me but were only 15!! is that too young please help... if that is too young what should i say to him..
(link)
| |
you cant really say what the right age is. if you are emotionally mature enough and so is he then you arent too young. if you are uncomfortable with the idea then dont do it because that means you arent ready. and if he cant understand that then hes a jerk. talk to him about it and tell him what you feel about the subject. if hes your boyfriend and he loves you then he will accept it. good luck and dont be scared!
|
is it better to be friend first before you get into a relationship?
because my boyfriend broke up with me because he said we messed our relationship up because we really wasnt friend when we went out and he wants to start over and he said he might or might not ask me back out is that bad?? for me??
because i love himm (link)
| |
some people say that because you dont really know the person if you arent friends first i say he just wants to know you better before going back out with you and if he doesnt ask you back out relax its just a guy and there are tons out there looking for a girl. if he wants to start over you cant fight that you just have to go with it and look at it this way, if yall do become friends and he asks you out again your relationship will probably be alot stronger good luck!

We're having a BBQ at our house in August and my mom is inviting this family that has a boy that im really crushing on! I don't know what kind of outfit I should wear! Should I wear shorts,capris, or jeans? Should I look casual or dressy casual since we ae the hosts? What kinds of styles should I look for and where?? (link)
| |
capris sound good to me b/c its too warm for jeans and im not a big fan of shorts. its not for a month or 2 tho. dont be too dressy b/c its a BBQ but look cute, wear one of your favorite shirts thats comfortable but still cute. chances are he'll care more about what you have to say then what you look like! but you do still want to look good. i say pick a cute outfit and when he gets there start a good conversation find a common interest and go for it! good luck!
|
|
what can me && my friends do cuz were bored lol (link)
| |
go camping, if theres a lake near by go out there! go swimming, go to the movies, the mall, a shopping centar, go have lunch or dinner together and go bowling or something like that! be creative and have fun, think outside the box! good luck!

Is god real im confused (link)
| |
thats really up to you. there are alot of religions and most believe in a certain idea of a god. but if you are for the theory of evolution then thats considered atheist if you think the world was created through evolution and we all evolved. do some research to find out about different religions and find out whats most meaningful to you, whats most important and follow whatever you believe. dont be afraid to ask your friends and parents what they think, because they can usually explain things to you pretty well. good luck!
|
|
ok well i found out that my best friend shane really liked me and he liked me like the whole year and i thought that was pretty kool and i kinda liked him to so i asked him out well then he was like wayy over obsessive and all and i didnt no wat to do so i dumped him 3 days later and now he seems really mad at me and its been like 2 weeks i wanna be his friend again so badly but he just doesnt wanna talk to me right now.. What should i do??? (link)
| |
i know what your talking about this guy asked me out and i said yea b/c i sorta liked him but then he told everyone and made this HUGE deal so i freaked and broke it off. he was mad at first but were friends now. you need to find a way to explain to him that you really like being his friend and being his girlfriend just didnt feel comfortable. try to tell him in person or write him a note. tell him your really sorry for hurting him and that you want to be his friend. he may still be mad but these things take time. good luck!

this is really buggling me, i love watching uk gold and i usually watch the +1 channels because i like watching the programmes later, but this past week "UK:gold 2 +1" has just been exactly the same as uk gold2 at exactly the same time, same adverts too.
i was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if it's just me (link)
| |
alot of stations do that and it may be because not everyone can get both channels
