Q: Can you get your belly button peirced at Claire's? i heard that from a friend but i dont think you can. thanks for your help.

Claires only pierces with a gun. So, no. Although sure I guess it could be possible to pierce your belly button with a gun, but Claires doesn't do it. Go to a respectable tattoo parlor/ piercing salon instead.

Q: Ok, so there are these jeans I want at Abercrombie and Hollister, but super expensive!! They are those pants that are torn/destroyed...Does anybody know how I could do it myself, and it would look good without spending a fortune??!!Thanks!!

Go to TJMAXX or Marshalls. Both carry Abercrombe and Fitch jeans and occasionally Hollister jeans for a price of only $24.99.

Q: Im feeling sorda guilty....

There are 14 girls trying out for cheerleading and 12 make it, i know i am going to make it because some of the girls who are doing it cant to crap, anyways i feel like its more handed to me then me working for it... Should i feel guilty? I mean i feel realy bad....

Why should you feel guilty? I am not sure guilt is the word you are searching for. Just about everyone who is trying out is going to make it. You have nothing to feel guilty about. Perhaps you should feel... unjust. Not that I am judging your cheerleading squad. But why should you feel bad about making a squad that 85.71428571% of the girls will be making. (I can round that for you if you wish.) If you are so sure you are going to be making it perhaps you should think otherwise of this commitment. You did mention the rest of your "squad -to be" quite frankly sucks. Sure you might have said it in a nicer way. Come to think of it, maybe you didn't. Maybe you should go for something more competitive. Something that won't make your definition of "guilt" feel like my definition of "unjust."

Q: im not talking about the movie "the notebook" im talking about the actually BOOK "the notebook"... where do i buy it? is it at any bookstore or do i have to order it? thanks.

Any book store in your area should sell it. Especially since the movie was such a big craze. I think they even changed the art on the front cover of the book. For alphabetical purposes look under S for Nicholas Sparks. Damn books turned into movies.

Q: I have a boyfriend that I love with all my heart but I'm bi.He doesn't know it. There was one time that he accidently called me bi and I fussed at him.I said he would probably like it if I was. He said he would never like that because she would be licking and then trying to kiss him.He said bi girls were nasty as hell. Because of that I haven't told him I was bi because I'm scared he is going to break up with me. What should I do?

Why are you with him if he can't accept your sexuality? Of course you should tell him. You love him, or so you said. So you shouldn't be keeping things from him like that. Being bi is nothing to be ashamed of. And if he disagrees... maybe you should start rethinking things with him.

Q: Hey, i have had this girl as my girlfriend for a month and 3 1/2 weeks. But, we have not kissed yet, the main reason is, because we both have braces, i am affraid of all the roumours of linked braces that are going around. I get my braces off in June or July, and i am having her over tonight with a few friends for a movie night, should i got ahead and kiss her, or should i wait til i get my braces off and play it safe?

My boyfriend and I both have braces. We have never encountered a problem with them at those uhh... certain moments.

In other words, yes, it is safe to kiss her. Don't listen to rumors. I mean yes, it is possible, but it is not probable.

Q: Hey. I wanted to ask you this question because I think you give good advice, and by the look of your ratings, it shows! Well anyway, there's this boy that I like in my school and I'm pretty sure he likes me too. Whenever we sit on the bus, I feel like he's scared to sit next to me when there's no other space left. Like today, when the bus driver rode past his irregular stop, him and his friends had to find another seat so that they could wait to get off at the next near bustop for them to walk. He was about to sit next to me, but then he hesistated and then sat next to me. I don't know, but does he realyl like me, or does he not?

I compliment and a question in one post. It's genius, I love it! I honestly can't tell you whether or not he likes you. One thing doesn't prove anything. It could be completely coincidential. I'm not saying he doesn't like you. If you get the feeling he does, you are probably right. Us women, we can sense these things. It's called female intuition. You mentioned you like him, so I'd say, go for it. Talk to him. Not the corny excuse of "What did we have for homework again?" Something worth while. Preferably isolated from his friends. And you never know where things may lead...

Q: Hey. I'm in the 7th grade, and for my grade in math for the 3rd quarter, I know I got a 87.45% B+. Can that be rounded to an A?

Depends on two things... Your teacher, and what grading system your school follows. The highest B we can get is a 92...I am guessing your school is not the same. The second depending factor is your teacher. If you are an asshole in class to her/him then dont expect a pretty little A. If you are ummm...not then expect an A. But if an 88 is an A wherever you live that is quite close, you never know, your teacher might sympathize. So it really isn't a yes or no question. Just giving you the things that can influnece your grade.

Q: ok there is this guy name josh and we went out over the summer then broke up a day before school started. I still like him. we havent tlaked in a while but the other day we did a little bit. Last week my friend asked him would he ever go back out with me, and he just smiled. but he has a girlfriend. Also, alst week someone asked him would he ever go out wth this girl name brooke nad he said nnooo .. but he didnt say yes or no when someone asked about me. Then wed. at church, he sat near me but not right next to me .. it went me, his friend murphy(murphy likes me) and then josh and we talked in a group for a little bit. Do you think he still likes me? what should i do? im 14 and female

I'll make a clear point to inform you, if you did not send this to my inbox, I probably wouldn't of answered it. However, I am a female and just about 14, so I can relate. And even through the poor grammar I understood exactly what you meant. The way I see it, guys are confused. Especially at our age. They don't know what they want. They let their dicks lead them. So either he likes you or he wants to lead you on. To find out which card he is playing talk to him.Alone.Find out his intentions. And remember the reason why you two broke up in the first place.

Q: i feel the need for a girl friend, just to hear the comfort words i love you or sumthing. is that rong or right im like undicided. is it sick or ok???????

As humans, we all have the desire to feel wanted/loved/cared for/needed, whatever you want to call it. Some need it more than others. But lucky for you, there are girls out there looking for the exact same thing.

Q: is it normal 2 get a boner when your making out with a girl or flirting with one,& if they could tell that you had a boner would they get freaked out & think im wired or anything!?

Hahaha.Ah this question brings up so many memories. But without mentioning names, yes, it is normal. I guess it's all in a matter of opinion if girls find it weird. Personally,as a girl, I don't. I'll admit, the first time it happened, I was caught a little off guard and wasn't expecting it, but I never found it to be weird. And we don't get freaked out. Although this one time in my friend's gym class this guy got a boner while doing pull ups. It took him a while to live that down. So in all honesty I think it is all in a matter of timing and how mature the girl is.

Q: I want to buy a pair of vans from a website and I'm wondering..do they run small..big or just regular size?

I own a pair of the classic slip on Vans.(Which are unisex.)I typically wear a 9 1/2 womens. I got a 7 1/2 (because they go by mens which is two sizes down)and I think they fit perfectly. Not too big or two small. It really probably depends on the style you get. However, if you do get the classic slip ons and you are a girl (which I assume you are, because guys rarely have enough common sense to even think about sizing of shoes)and they are mens, just get two sizes down from what you normally wear. If you never planned on getting the classic slip ons they take a chance on the sizing, or buy them locally, although I know, the selection isn't the same. Or you can just disreguard my advice entirely.

Q: (14/f) Everyone thinks I make all my boyfriends up because they don't go to our school.. I don't understand why they'd talk such crap about me behind my back or why one of my 'friends' doesn't even believe me.. it makes me feel like they think I'm not pretty or nice enough to get one and so I have to make one up! Someone please help me.. what should I say?

How can you call them your friends when they can't even believe you on something so little as you have a boyfriend.To solve the suspicions, invite your boyfriend to go out with you and your friends once, and be sure to send me a picture of their shocked faces.

Q: My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while and we really want to have sex like early this month but I always get my period in this beginning of the month and we both don’t want to wait. Can you have sex on your period..have any of you ever done that before. Is it safe?I rate 5’s.

Of course,you can have sex any time of the month you want.Even during your period.However,think logically,it'll be messy. Safe?As opposed to what?You can still get pregnant.And all the other negative things that can occur with sex.

Q: wat does wtf mean?!?!??!?!

What The Fuck.

Q: There's this girl named Maria. She's a good friend of mine, and today she got in deep trouble with our Health teacher because she gave answers to someone else, and hes failing her for the marking period with a 50. She said she's tried to commit suicide before, and she's going to do it again. Should I tell somebody? Thanks. =]

Think of it this way...hypothetically speaking, if she did commit suicide (and you knew about it before hand)could you seriously live with yourself knowing that you could of saved a good friend's life?Once you answer that question, I think you'll know what to do.

Q: ok soo my face is fine in the mornign wheni get ready for schhool, but then by the end of school my face is soooooo oily, what can i do, besides pound more powder on, cuz i hate to wear a lot of make up, its jsut really shiny, and gross.. but yeah like i i ahte wearing tons of make up, i jsut wear anough to loook natural, and nothing works i've tryed translusent powder,a dn all taht and i do clay masks liek evry three days, what do yuo suggest?

Q: Hey i'm 13 and started 7th grade alot of people have small boobs but mine are just a little bigger! Now there's a roomer going around that I stuff! It makes me so mad. I was talking to my freind and pretending to fight like a little push back in fourth in lunch line and this guy was like No pushing stuffer! I told him i didnt stuff! This went back and fourth like no I dont or yes you do! Then I just told him to shut up. How do I tell them IM NOT A STUFFER!!!!!!!!!!!

Retort back asking..."How the fuck would you know?"You'll catch him so off guard he won't know what to say.(Obviously if the best he could come up with at the time was "stuffer".)And when he does come up with an answer...it will be so bad that you won't even have to come up with something that has a lot of wit.And keep in mind one day,as hard as it is to imagine,guys WILL grow up.It just takes a little while.

Q: My school is doing Aresnic and Old Lace, and I am playing Elaine. We will be doing some "stage-kissing" and I don't know what they mean by that. Could someone explain this technique?

The director will just set you at an angle that to the audience looks like you two are kissing when you lean close.So basically you are going through the movements,you just aren't kissing him.

Q: What is the difference between a "padded" bra and a "cup" bra?
thanks.
-confused

A padded bra has an actual lining of padding that makes your chest look bigger.A bra with a cup has a mold.Which would help with uh...natural shaping and not let evryone notice when you are cold.
