that aberombie and hollister, is NOT fashionable AT ALL. i mean, when you think about it, all it is it says there name, and has a seagull on it. i mean if you love seagulls or mooses, then pshh its the store for you. but if not, then it freakin sucks. i mean, if you look at what they have, its like always the sameee. and i dont know, i just think its no longer nothing special. and im realizing that theres alot of other stuff out there. but ive shopped at abercrombie and hollister for so long, i dont know what are cute true fashion stores.

what are some?

yeah i aggree.

here are some good fashion stores:

charlotte russe
forever 21
wet seal
express
bebe
guess
aeropastale (it's a a little differnt from abercrombie and hollister but cheaper)

uuh that's all i can think of for now but there are more good ones

15/f

1. do you think thats too young?
2. any ways to convince my parents?
3. how old do you have to be to get it done without your parents consent?
4. how much does it hurt?
5. if you take it out will the whole eventually close?

thanks!! xox

1. nope, i know people younger who have them done
2. every parent is differnt, but do research to let
them know you're responsible about cleaning it and
whatever
3.18 i think
4. i heard it hurts pretty bad
5. if you take it off long enough it will, just like
any other piercing

and my sister's friend from gymnastics has one and she's never had a problem on bars, so it migt be ok but just make sure you're wearing a bodysuit so it won't be exposed.

the price depends on where you go, and you can get it done at any piercing/tattoo place

is it true that your boobs will grow if you give a guy head and he busts and you swallow? my friend told me that it is but i dont know.

answers please (:

that's about the stupidest thing i've ever heard. ever. lol tell you're friend to think hard about what she told you. of course it isn't truee!

ok so im 100 lbs and in the 8th grade, and i want to be smaller. i used to be the thinnest of all... then i gained. i want to be the SMALLEST of everyone i know, and i know i can do it b/c i have before. i really want to become anorexic, PLEASE, ive heard all about how it screws you up and stuff, but i want ways to BECOME anorexic, not people telling me the dangers i already know all that. if youve been anorexic before, please tell me how you did it, b/c i want to be! i havent eaten all day and when i do, i just throw it up. i dont seem to be seeing much of a difference, so please tell me how to be anorexic.

you can't learn how to be anorexic. it's a mental disorder when people see themselves as fat but they're really not. and on top of that, it's a stupid idea. i'm not gonna tell you the dangers of anorexia because you already know. but it's a really bad idea. and you can't expect to lose weight in one day. idk how tall you are, but 100 lbs isn't much at all. why would you want to be the smallest person you know? i know people who are wiked skinny and it's not attractive. at all. if you want to become "anorexic" all you need to do is not eat. but you're just going to end up hurting yourself bad.

how do you get rid of a double chin besides plastic surgery???? thanks in advance

if you lose weight, you'll lose the double chin with it. so yeah exercise and eat good.

I am 13 and i can't stand my body, my legs are to short. I am the shortest one in my grade, only 5 foot and i don't no what to do, my family doesn't exactly have the money to give me a shot that will help my growth and they say that i am normal height but i had my period over 2 years ago and i'm not supposed to grow anymore. Is there anything i can do that will make me a normal height?

there's no shot that will make you grow. your height is your height. and you're not done growing when you're 13 even if you have your period. i'm 14 and i still have a few inches to go. don't worry about it

friday morning when i was getting ready for school i put on blush and my dad saw me and was like r u wearing blush? and i said yes, and he told me he didn't wanna see me wear it anymore because i'm too young, (and i'm 13!) and he said that it gives you cancer! i was thinking wtf, but is this true?

haha, noo that's not true. if it was then like every girl in america would be dead by now. he just doesnt want you wearing makeup apparently

I'm 13 and I'm about 5' 1" and I weigh 79 lbs., and I know that's in the healthy range for BMI's but I can tell I have too much fat, especially on my stomach and thighs. Anyone have any advice on how to lose it?

your bmi isn't healthy, it's underweight. me friend is only about 5 feet and shes about 80 something pouunds and your age. and she's wiked skinny. don't try to lose weight, you'll be way too underweight. try gaining a little bit of muscle instead, it'll make you more solid looking

Hi i am a 16 year old girl and I really enjoy young adult romance novels like "The Boy Next Door" by Meg Cabot and "15" by Judy Blume. I'm wondering if any of you know of any other good books like that?

deffinetly sarah dessen's books. they're all about teen romance. they're mostly all pretty similar though, but ones that are kind of different are keeping the moon and supposedly dreamland was really good

i dont have any white nail polish and i really need some QUICK! i cant go to the store or anything.. how can i make some white nail polish or use some household material to paint my nails white? thankss

hmm. probably the only thing you could use to make them white is white out.

Well, I usually don't fo to school functions, but this time, I am. I want to the Spring Fling dance, at my school. It is semi-formal, and I don't know what to where. I guess my question is... what do I wear?!

well i have a semi-formal at my dance, but people consider it more formal i guess. i'm guessing you're a girl, so if i were you i'd wear a dress. every girl in my grade is at least. but you're school might be different, so ask around to see what everyone else is wearing, because you don't want to seem under/over dressed.

i'm gonna wear a spring-ish dress like above my knees and kinda flowy, nothing too fancy. guys will probably wear dress pants and a button up shirt.

but if people at your school are going to wear kind of casual stuff, i'd wear maybe a denim mini skirt with a nice shirt and nice jewlery and shoes, or jeans, and do something good with your hair.

I used to have quite a few freckles on my face but now I have like none. If you never go outside do they go away? If I go outside in the sun more will they come back? I like freckles. :)

i don't think that they can go away, but it could because you got a little bit tan so you can't really see the freckles as well. and if you go in the sun, you will probably get more. but don't try really hard to get more, because you'll end up damaging your skin

Don't worry...it is NOT another lyrics question. Anyways, what are those litle electronic things [about the size of an egg but flatter] where you can have your own little "virtual pet" called? I don't know what it's called. The best way I can think of to describe it is:
It's egg shaped but flat
It has a little virtual pet you can take care of/grows in there.
It's electronic--duh.
It's a kid toy type thing.

If anyone can help me find out what it's called and know what stores would most likeyl sell them I'l love you forever haha. Thanks in advance =]

i think you're talking about a giga-pet. haha i used to have one of thosee. i'm not sure if they sell them anymore, they're pretty 90's. but if they do, check a toy store like toys r us.

There's this girl that I have known since I was in third grade, Brittany. well, I THOUGHT i knew her. She has invited people over right in front of me and one of my best friend's faces without inviting us. She talks about every single one of the people who she calls her friend and even people she doesn't know. The other night, she called and by the time I had found my phone, she hung up. Not even a minute later, another girl who was at her house, Sarah, called me and I answered. After getting off the phone with me, Brittany told Sarah and all the other girls there that I was a bitch, I was obsessed with Sarah, and a lot of other things. Apparently, she calls me and everyone else who she calls her "best friend" a bitch to anyone to will listen. But when she said it in front of my friends, they stood up for me, and then she got mad at them. Today I was talking to all of my best friends, who are Brittany's too, and they said that she is always talking about me, amanda, nicole, and a lot of other people. Basically, we're all sick of it. I just learned this today, but she DRINKS! The night that they spent the night at her house, she tried to pressure them into drinking vodka, but they said no finally. She never says sorry for anything and always turns it around and blames you, always leaves people out, always talks about people behind their backs, always makes fun of people in front of their face, always pressures people into doing things, always lies, and she NEVER can talk to you about something...she always gets this girl, Amanda who has no idea how much she talks about her, to yell at the person for her and turn everyone against them. We don't know what to do right now because we don't want everyone turning against us, but we don't really want to be friends with her anymore. What should we do?

omg i hatee people like that. i know what you're dealing with, my ex best friend was manipulating and a liar like that. if all your friends agree with you about how they don't like her, they most likely won't take her side. if they had common sense they'd not be friends with her because she'll continue to be a bad friend to them. if brittany tries to start with you, stand up for yourself. if you don't take her crap and show her that you're not taken in by her crap, she'll give up. trust me, i know how things like this turn out. my ex friend i was talking about, yeah she betrayed me and all her new friends realized how she was and basically now no one likes or trusts her. just don't take her shit, you and your friends should seriously reconsider being her friend. hey, what goes around comes around :]

good luck

So I'm going to Orlando, FL tomorrow morning, and I live in dry Los Angeles. I've heard that it's humid there, and that I shouldn't bother to straighten my hair.

Should I bother? To those that live in humid climates and straighten their hair, how is it?

Oh, and after Thursday morning, don't bother answering it. :]

it can be humid, but so can everywhere else. it really depends on the day. i went to ft. lauderdale a few weeks ago and it wasn't bad. i straightened my hair without a problem so i'd bring the straightener just in case.

i wear slip on shoes, and theyr low in the front, so if i wear socks, you can see them. but i have stinky feet, so my shoes smell when i dont wear socks. what can i do to stop this?

make sure you wash them really good, including your toes at night/morning, whenever you take a shower. then before you put them on put some baby powder on your feet to reduce sweating which causes them to smell.

so i'm 14/f and i weigh 130 and i'm 5'4 almost 5'5. i want ot lose weight like 10 15 pounds cause i feel like i'm over weight, can anyone give me some pointers to losing weight kinda fast? my dad said that theres a new diet, and you eat alot in the morning and when your at school and stuff you burn it off and then you slow down at dinner and stuff, does that make any sense?

well yeah that's how your supposed to eat because you get your energy in the morning then burn off calories during the day. you don't want to eat a lot at night because you won't really burn it off so they'll stick.

so what i'd suggest is to eat not a LOT in the morning, but maybe like a bagel fruit and milk or something like that, then at lunch eat regularly, just make sure it's pertty healthy, if you eat when you come home from school don't overeat, people tend to do that, just have like crackers and fruit or trail mix or something like that. then at dinner don't eat heavily.

good luck

i need to do my splits and i have one day! im very close but not close enough help!

just keep stretching. i'm the same way i'm almost there but if you stretch for a while you'll eventually be able to do them. a good stretch that helps is: kneel down but put one foot flat in front of you with your leg at a 90 degree angle. then lean foward so if you look at your hips they're like in a split just your knees aren't. it's also important that your calves/under your knees are stretched. so for that sit with your legs straight and make your nose touvh your knees and hold it.

good luck with whatever you need to do splits for lol

where have all the REAL ones gone?
seriously. all the people that regarded themselves as emo a year ago had turned into a "scene kid" by june. now all the so called "scene kids" have decided they;'re now an "indie kid"
and they all reckon they're being alternative
when its actually the new chav :s if you think about it
i dont wanna offend anyone by this but its only the truth that bands like panic at the disco, fall out boy and MCR are not emo and liking them does not make you emo
does anyone agree? haha
x

yes i agree,lol.

people are posers and think they're all hardcore if they listen to panic!at the disco & whatnot. it's pretty funny actually, i know a lot of kids like that.
