Where can I get really really really really really really really really inexpensive clothes that are cute?Inexpensice ones like jeans that are 10 bucks but not thrift store type places.
Please help i rate high!
Hmm...I'm not entirely sure if you can get jeans for $10, but last summer i got 2 pairs of jean shorts at aeropostale for $25. Also, charlotte russe is usually reasonally priced, and so is forever 21 but it sort of depends on what kind of clothes you like. hope that helped!
does pink match blue ?
Hmm..I don't know, it depends on what the situation is like what ur using the colors on, or what shade it is.

What are some good ideas for summer jobs?
Well, check out resturants, and local grocery stores. Those are places where LOTS of teens work, and they're usually hiring. Also babysitting is a common thing, just post signs around your neighboorhood, with your number, etc.
Hope that helped.
hi ive been wanting to get in shape this summer , and eat better and do workouts..any ideas thanks
Thats awesome! Well first of all, to eat better, make SURE you eat breakfast. Such as things like low-fat/fat-free yogurts, whole wheat toast with a little bit of peanut butter or something, eggs, cereal, you know. Instead of eating 3 big meals every day, trying eating small snacks in between each meal, such as grapes, a handful of nuts(contain protien), bananas, carrots, etc. Try to avoid things that are high sugar of course. As weird as it might sound, cut back on the soda, and drink LOTS of water. Even diet coke. Although it has no calories, it is not good for you. a can of pop a day won't hurt you, but keep it on the down-low. Eat lots of protien, such as chicken, turkey, nuts, fish, etc..and despite the atkins and low carb craze, make sure you get enough carbs. Such as potatos, but better yet, whole wheat/wheat bread. The great thing about them, if eaten in moderation, they are VERY low fat, but keep you full longer, so you wont over eat. When eating out, when ordering, check the menu for words such as "grilled, broiled, baked" instead of "fried". Things cooked in olive oil, also is very good for you.
As far as keeping in shape/getting in shape. Bike riding is a GREAT exercise, exspecially if you're not the type who likes to run (like me..haha). It burns a good amount of calories, and tones your legs. Another workout, that gives good results over time, would be situps. You won't see results everyday, but they really add up. Try starting out at doing 50, then increase by however many as you see fit. If you don't like doing reg. situps, try crunches, or reverse crunches. For more tips, check out www.toneteen.com. The site has lots of other exercises on it for you to do.
Hope that helped, if not. just ask!
Do sandwhiches make you fat?
Well, it totally depends on what you put on them, and what kind of bread you use. White bread isn't as good for you as wheat or whole wheat. White bread is known to add on weight, so avoid it if possible. When it comes to what you put on sandwhiches, such as turkey, ham, balogna, etc. Turkey is the best type of meat you can use, it has the least fat. If you like balogna,try ham as an alternative. It has more protien and WAY less fat. If you add stuff like mayo, etc..that adds extra calories and fat. Peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches are okay once in a while, but go easy on the peanut butter. Peanut butter has a lot of fat, but the good kind, and it has protien. so a little bit is good for you! Jelly, believe it or not, has no fat, but plenty of sugar. So, no..if you make good choices, sandwhiches do not make you fat, they are very healthy for you but remember, don't make them your entire diet, don't forget fruits and vegatables, and drink plenty of water and don't drink too much pop! Hope that helped.

Hi. I've been struggling with anorexia since freshman year of high school. I am now entering freshman year of college. I'm supposed to be "recovered" or so they say. I don't want to recover but I don't want anorexia to take total control of my life. If I lose weight during the summer my parents will not trust me to go to college and that would just suck. But I really don't want to arrive at college all fat and stuff. So once I get to college I'm going to start restricting my intake and exercising alot. The problem is I don't want my parents to nag at me and be over protective about it. I don't know whether I want to keep my weight up and have my parents be happy but me hating myself...or go back to anorexia and have me be happier but my parents/friends be unhappy. What should I do?
P.s. Please don't preach to me about recovery.
Its really hard to say what to do, but I'll do my best. I will def. not preach to you about recovery. I have to be completely honest but I have sort of been in this situation. In freshman year, I didn't eat much. Friends and Family were constantly on me about eating, and I felt that it was unfair because if I ate, I thought I would get fat, and me being fat and unhappy was more important than me eating healthy and making my family happy. My suggestion is, before you go off to college eat normally, im not saying you have to 'pig out' but just eat so your parents are not worried about you. Keep up the exercise, and your body will burn a great amount of what you do eat off. Once you get to college, you can basically do whatever you want, but for the time being just eat so it doesnt appear you're restricting to your parents. My mom is kind of always suspicious about me, if I am not hungry,shes liike "DONT START STARVING YOURSELF" and to be honest, i understand, it gets annoying. I really wish I could help you better with this, but If you I.M me or email me I could probably help you out. sorry it took so long to reply.
Alright, hey wut up...
I have a boyfriend and I really like him a crap load, and hes so cool and he says "I love you" to me and stuff and hes so cute to me. But I just started to like my ex boyfriend again. I didnt when I first started dating him but since my ex and I started talking more, I kind of do. I miss the memories I did have with my ex because we had so much fun together, but its my ex so usually, there isnt much point because usually ex's dont get back together, but you never know.. Im pretty sure my ex still doesnt have feelings for me because hes gotten on other girls since we have broken up, and a lot of them, even though hes single, and hes become like OBSESEED with his girlfriend before me. But I want to stay in my Relationship now, but I dont know what to do about my ex or how to get over him.. Its a dumb situation but I have no idea what do to.
Hey. Thats a really tough situation. I've been in this same situation before. The best thing to do, I would say is to stay with your current boyfriend. Your current boyfriend seems like a nice guy and thats a good thing. As hard as it is, to think back on the memories of your ex, and just starting to talk to him again, the thing to do is to just leave it at that. I wouldn't try to get into a relationship again. Another thing is that hes gotten on alot of other girls, even though hes not in a relationship? Its totally up to you, but I wouldn't exactly trust him.
When it comes to getting over a guy, there is no particular method to use to get over him. As time goes by, you'll possibly end up not talking to your ex anymore, and you'll probably stop thinking about him as much, thinking about memories may hurt a bit but you'll move on over time. Thats what happened in my case, my ex started talking to me randomly and then over a bit of time we stopped talking, but I dont know. Just give it time, and wait and see what happens. If you need more help, just I.M me..or ask
HOw do you flirt?
My best suggestion is just to start a conversation, or whatever feels most comfortable to you.Ask them about themselves, and most of all smile:). Or if theyre a friend, I suppose it depends somewhat on your relationship with the person, such as if theyre a friend, or someone from your class who you generally don't talk to. If its someone who is like a friend, to show interest like, compliment them on things you generally wouldnt. Flirting is sort of something that just comes naturally. Hope that helped :)
Ok, Hi so I think this is Courtney Weycamp but I dont know, ive had your name on my buddy list forever and I think i go to your school? East? I dont know but anyways I like this guy and were best friends...with benifits...:/ Well his best friend told me he liked me so i was like hmmm maybe i should like his best friend but ever since then my best friend with benifits has been 100 times more flirty...what do i do? Tell the guy to stop flirting or tell him I like him?? Im 15 and live in MI
Hey- first of all, yes I do go to EGR and yep thats me. lol, okay anyways. I read your question a few times and there was one thing I was confused on, do you mean "should i like his best friend" by pretending to like him to bother him? lol, I was confused on that. But anyways, I think the best thing you can do is talk to your 'best guy friend with benefits' and ask him if what his best friend said, is true. If it turns out he DOES like you, then tell him the truth, if you like him, tell him. Honesty is the best way to go. Also, if you have noticed that your friend has been alot more flirty, it could very well be possible that he likes you. Hope that helped, but if not, feel free to I.M me. :)
why are there only 652 cheeses, not 653? it is really hurting my feelings. HELP!

I dont get it like i liked this kid and than i dated another kid to try and get this person now likes me so i dumped the other kid and now idk what to do...i dumped the kid i didnt like but i dont want to look like a slut and go out with the kid i actually like but he likes me what do i do...well btw my names Aisha im from Arkansas
Thats a really tough situation. As hard as it is, I would have to say go out with the one you truly like. As hard as it is to do, you'll feel like you did the right thing. But make sure you nicely explain to the other guy who you don't really like that you just dont think you have a connection or that you're ready to be in a relationship with them. Its a tough situation like I said, but thats what I would do, Hope it works out for you and the other guy understands.
y r u such a bitch?
Because of awesome people, such as yourself. I love you. :)

Hey- I am not sure what sort of music you are into. But some bands I love are ones like Something Corporate, The ataris, The killers, Sugarcult, My Chemical Romance, U2, The Ramones, The postal service, AFI, Goo Goo Dolls. Try some of those, some of them are like alternative bands.
