I'll rate 5!

watch movies. have a little dance party. prank call people. play a game. paint nails/toenails. face masks. twister. bake cookies/brownies or anything yummy. gossip! eat. do a workout video. take pictures. i hope this helps you. = )

I have this friends who makes fun of me all the time and she makes fun of me around other people too. It makes them think that its ok to make fun of me becasue she does. What can i say to her to make her stop.

next time she does just to you, (not in front of other people) talk to her one on one and just ask her why she feels the need to make fun of you all the time, and tell her you've never done anything like that to her. tell her you would appreciate it if she would stop, because friends dont do that. if she still does it, i would find a better friend.

p.s. girls usually only make fun of other girls because they are jealous. so i guess if you look at it that way, it makes you feel better. = )

I moved here 3 years ago and im still not very good frineds with the people I always wanted to be good frinds with. I talk to them and everything but only in school. How can i become best frineds and included in everything they do?

just call them up or ask them in school if they want to hang out that night. make plans to go to the movies, mall, bowling, anything fun like that. or if you want to do something bigger, throw a party and invite a ton of people, including the ones you want to be close with. this will help them get closer and get to know you better.

hey i pierced my bellybutton a couple of hours ago and I want to know how to clean it and can I die from this??????? I did it by myself

take it out.

Wash your hands with antibacterial soap.
Wet the piercing with plain water.
Put a few drops of antibacterial soap on the piercing and work them into a lather with a cotton bud.
Try to loosen any crusted discharge and float it off the jewelry and your skin with the cotton bud.
Leave the antibacterial soap on the piercing for two minutes while rotating the jewelry back and forth, allowing the disinfectant to penetrate the piercing.
Rinse with water and air dry thoroughly.

if you think it is infected, visit your docotr immediately.

Im in 7th grade, and my friend in 8th smokes. she isnt a bad person at all. well, at the end of the school day, we hugged and everything, when i came home,my mom smelled smoke on me and i think she thought i was smoking,even though id never do anything like that. she does know abt Jenny and everything, but how do i convince them that im not smoking or anything?

just tell her. be like, "mom i would never do something like that, im being honest, i dont care if you believe me or not but i know for a fact i dont smoke." then you could just tell her the smell is from your friend. you really cant do anything else but tell her the truth!

call him up, or IM him when he's alone, and the girl isnt there. ask him if he wants to chill or something, because you havent in forever! or if you dont even want to talk to him, just talk to him one on one and tell him you miss hanging out! he should understand and save some time for you.

Hello
i really need an answer by wednesday night becuase i am very scared. im 15/F and i am going to the gyno for the first time and i am not a virgin anymore and i was just owndering if when they ask do i have to tell them and if i tell them will they tell my mom or can i ask the doctor to not tell my mom. or can i jsut say i use tampons? im reaslly scared becuase i do not want my mom to know! PLease help me..i rate high!
thanks

don't lie about not having sex. the gyno will bring you in a room one on one and question you, and she'll ask if you've ever had it. tell the truth, because she'll tell you it's private and she won't tell your parents if you don't want them to know. (your parents leave the room when she questions you.) there's nothing to worry about! = )

hey you andswered one of my questions..thanks so much it was great advice but im pretty sure im going to be lik did you say that and shes going to be like i never said that oh my god i love you! and crap like that.. what do i say when she sais that because im 100% sure she did. thanks

tell her that people were telling you that she was saying stuff, and that she can be fake and lie all she wants, but you know its true. if she still wont admit it, just tell her you dont want anything to do with her, and how she should grow up and tell it to your face. if she does admit it, just tell her its alright, you forgive her. that doesnt mean you need to be BFF, it just means you two dont have any beef. i really hope you get it worked out.

Can anyone give me some info on bath salt? What is it? Who should use it? What is it used for? Is it bad or good? Anything else? I really need help!!PLEASE AND THANKS!

its just little crystal type looking things. they come in lots of colors and smells. anyone can use it, but it's mainly used for exfoliating your skin. its good!! you just pour it in the bath water (not the shower) and let it work its magic.

Hey! My friend and I are planning on having a prom after party at her house. The thing is we don't know what to do at the party. We would go in her hot tub but her dad won't open it for us. So what are somethings we can do (it's probably going to be 15 or more people)? And don't suggest anything inapropriate because her parents are going to be there!! Thanks to all who answer!!

decorate with anything christmasy. (glitter, christmas tree, candles, ornaments.) then have a table filled with food. (christmas cookies, choc. covered strawberries, any dessert, candy, pizza, soda, punch.) it depends on how tired everyone is for what you want to do. if you're up for dancing, you could rent a strobelight and have a dance party! twister is always good. truth or dare. take pictures. kareoke. get a pinyata (sp?). or if everyone is tired, rent a movie, make popcorn, chips, soda, anything!

Heyy! I'm the girl who was going to NYC with my crush this weekend. I'm really pissed at my effin MOM because she called his family up and said that it wasn't a good day cuz my dumbass sister had a birthday party!!!! I'm really disappointed because I have been counting down the days til we go! I really shouldn't have set my heart on this!! How do I make the 11 days i have to wait go by faster?!

make plans with friends so you wont be thinking about him. get out of the house. listen to music. talk online. go shopping. (always helps.) anything to get your mind off the wait.

I like this boy alot and I know he likes me to. I'm not sure if he wants commitment with me though. I really would like to go out with him. All I ever think about is wanting to be in his arms. I feel so comfterble with him. More comfterble then ive ever felt. When we talk on the phone he says thinks like "if I was there I would hold you." And all this other stuff. I want to go out with him. How should I get him to ask me out or find out if he wants to go out with me or if it would be easyer how do I ask him out? Any ideas?

when you two are alone say "how do you feel about me?" then he tells you..then after say "what do you think would ever happen if we had a relationship?" if he wants to go out with you, he'll ask you then. if he doesn't maybe he wants to be FWB? (friends with benefits.) or maybe he doesn't want to ruin what you two already have, friendship. if you've got the guts, ask him out! it's obvious he's into you. maybe he's just too shy to make the first move. here's a website on how to ask him. = )

Ok there is this guy i like, but i dont think he likes me as more than a friend. I mean ive known him for like ever, but we just started being good friends this year, but he has a g/f who is one of mi friends (She is a year younger than me). But the truth is im not even sure if i like him or not. Its really weird like one week 2 boys had a hugging contest(LOL) where they see how many girls they can get to hug them well when i huged the one guy well call him Bob... Ok so when i huggged bob i didnt feel weird but when i hugged the guy i think i like i felt all weird ( I was hug 101, HA HA) and when ever he taps me on the sholder or somthing i like know its him i dont know how i kno its him but i just do.... and one day one of mi teachers put an egg up to my face(long story) and during a break the guy i think i like came up to me and held his hand on mi face like the egg and i jumped like 1/2 a mile. So i gess im asking, Do i like him? and if i do what do i do to let him know i like him? I mean i really want us to still be friends and i wanna stay friends with his girlfriend but they havent like kissed or anything yet. Im so confused!

Sorry about Spelling errors! I rate high for good answers! Please answer soon!
Thanxx in advance!

still tell him! it's okay if he's leaving, that doesnt mean you two still can't hang out outside of school!

Hey okay well theres a girl in my grade (9th) and she has a twin and a older sister they are all like amazing at sports..so the girl in my grade we used to be.. not friends but not enemies? just nice to each other i guess but then one of my friends came up to me and told me she was talking majorrr crap on me like ohh my god i hate her so much shes sooo fake and i cant stand her and 'supposidly' i was walking with someone and she comes up to her and goes eww and the person i was walking with goes what? and she went her.. and pointed to me. uhhmm that never happend? i just think its total crap because i have done nothing to her. havent talked crap about her or anything.. i think it might be her and her ex boyfriend broke up.. she dumped him and cheated on him and now is with a new guy and her ex i heard wanted to hook up with me but that was a tiny rumor. this girl is known for talking about anyone she can with her twin.. no one really likes them except for a couple other bitchy girls..
well i want to say something to her serisouly but i have no idea what i should say? i was thinking of like what have i done to you and how am i fake and you dont even know me you know what if you dont have the balls to say it to my face that just shows how fake you are so dont go around saying it behind my back. idk please help! i dont kno what she could say back... shed proly get everyone into it and turn the story around but o well thankss

just be like, "alright listen up, if you're going to talk crap about me behind my back, at least say it to my face, you can say whatever you want, but i could honestly care less. saying all that stuff about me, what does that make you? people that usually talk bad about other people are just jealous!!!" then just ask her what you've done to get her upset. im guessing it is the BF thing. but hey..you cant help it if he likes you, right? = ) anyways, tell her you've never done one thing to her, and make sure she knows that you dont care one bit what she is saying, you just want to see her say it to your face. that way she'll be sad that her little plan to trash you didnt work, because you dont give a ****!!
