Hello, 15, female. I love making clothing, I make some of my own and when I go out and wear them everybody says "I love that, where did you get it". I have always been in love with fashion since I was little always wearing little dresses or skirts. I play with my hair all the time and do my make-up. My mom said she could definately see me opening a boutique with my clothes and doing peoples hair and such and that got me thinking, wow what a life. As of right now though, I plan on attending Drexel University for fashion design but that's not for a while away. Can anybody help me for my high school years continuing what I do? Any classes I could take or places I could go to further my knowledge on this topic? I live in Pennsylvania about and hour and a half from Philly without traffic. Thank you!
In high school take apparal constructing. Fashion marketing. Business classes-if you plan on owning your own buisness. Go to your local community center and take sewing classes. Look at getting a job (like during high school) at a local boutique. Look into maybe creating a website to talk about your clothes and post pictures of what you make to show the world! Maybe sell some of your clothes on Ebay? Go to your local craft store like hobby lobby, jo anns etc. BUy patterns and fabric. Make clothes with the pattern and then embelish it or something to make it unique. Take old clothes and paint, be-dazzle etc to make it unique.
Look--in the summer--if there are craft shows in your area. This will help you become a better artist. Fashion is art. Look intro drawing/sketching classes. You need to be able to draw.
Get a sketchbook and start designing!
Hope I helped
I absolotly love clothes too, let me know if you need help with anything!!

How would I go about getting a scholarship to Drexel University for fashion design?
Look at general scholarships. Or even academic ones. Maybe 3 colleges total will have a schoalrship soly for fashion design. Look online at scholarship sites for general ones. I think i've heard of one fashion scholarship where you have to design a line and a lot of work. However, its very competitive and 1 out of thousands get it.

For like to past 5 months white sticky gooey discharge has been in my underwear, what does this mean???
It is normal to have discharge. It should just mean that you will have your first period soon. Like within a year. If you have already had your first period, you might want to look into at least calling the doctor for an appointment at least over the phone.
HOpe i Helped!

So, I am fifteen, female. I live in the smallest town of Pennsylvania. This place has nothing to do, literally, no bowling alleys, no skate parks or roller rinks, nothing at all. Seeming as I can not drive yet, I am alllllllllllways bored. I can't take it anymore. Seeing the people on the Olympics and how dedicated and passionate they are for what they do is making me want to get out there and do things. So basically, all I want to know are things I can go do outside that can keep me occupied for long periods of time, I can't go anywhere because, again, I don't drive. I just want to be able to go out and say "I am so passionate about __" but I don't know what that is yet. So just name some things I can do outside that I can do for a while. Thanks a bunch!
Try joining a sport at your school. That will help you find your passion. You could go running. You could walk around your neighborhood and take pictures and then post them on a website.
Go to your community center and look at the classes they have. Maybe cooking, acting, sewing?
Volunteering is really fun and it looks good for college.
You could look up recipies and make them with your friends
Make a Youtube account and then post videos of you and your friends just having fun.
Make a movie with you and your friends.
Write a book.
Make a list of the best books to read and post them on a website.
MAKE A WEBSITE!
There are a lot of things to do. Olympics focuses on sports but if you havn't been doing sports since you were born you may want to look into something else, like what i suggested!

so i met this guy at a party. actually, i didn't even meet him. we didn't really even speak a word to each other hah but he was only there for a little. somehow he ended up getting on my camera, i guess someone took a picture of him so i added him on facebook. he messaged me and then we exchanged numbers and starting texting alot. he's kinda been flirting a little and we're supposed to hang out soon. are there any ways to not make things awkward? we've never talked in person and i'm not a real "meet someone online kinda person" if you know what i mean so i don't really know how to play it lol so i would loovee any help or advice
Deffinetly talk on the phone. Look into going to a movie or something where you don't nessisarily have to talk the whole time. With a movie you can have that to talk about after. Maybe go to dinner so it doesn't look like you are totally avoiding conversation. Don't go to a party, make it 1 on 1. Just find out his intrests and what you guys have in common. If it's a good match the conversation will just flow and keep going. Don't worry about it being awkward- have fun!!

I have been a member on polyvore for almost 2 years now, and i just created a group. How can I get people to join? I need 28 more people to join in order to make a contest!!!
Here is the website:

Yes, you shouldn't advertise.
However, I will answer your question::
Ask your friends to join. I'm not sure if this is allowed but maybe just post it in your about me on here.
However, your friends are your best bet. Not many people look at peoples columns!

i'm having a hard time knowing who i am right now.
like personality wise. i don't know who i am or who i want to be.
am i nice or a bitch? do i want to be open-minded or what?
i just don't know who i am anymore. i really need some advice on how to 'find' myself.
i'm kinda scared.
I totally understand! I'm going through this now. Just try new things to figure out what you like. If you figure out your intrests that totally helps with figureing out the real you. Also, you can be whatever you want. Do you want to be a bitch? Or do you want to be nice? It's up to you. If you don't focus on finding who you are and just focus on being you and being who you want to be it will help you figure this out. Just stay true to what you know you are. Don't try to be someone else. You'll know if you are trying to fit in with people. It's hard to say be yourself when you don't know who you are. BUt a lot of people at least know a little bit about them. Don't change from what you already you are.
Good luck, Hope I helped

Hello, I am 16, and i am so sick of my life i really am. So far i ahve llost alot of my close friends,well what i thought was my best friends. They all left because well im not sure really.But have you ever just wanted to give up? yeh thats what i want to do really.give up. not sure what to do anymore. this life that everyone is talkinga about,this great life,is nothing but a lie.
I'm in a simular rut. But I am on my way out of it. Find something to be excited about! Join a new club or sport. Go to the community center and take a random class to find new interests! I wanted to give up too but you need to find something that you can put all your energy in to focus on and excel at! Try art, sewing, acting, cooking anything! Volunteering is really fun. You'll find something I know it. Life really is what you make it. IF you start having fun and trying new things you'll start to enjoy it agian.
Good luck

Iv'e been trying to get my permit for quite some time now and haven't gotten it iv'e been to the DMV a total of 4 times in 09 i feel really stupid like a idiot and feel embarrassed to tell people it upsets me & i usually end up crying i try to think positively and confident but i sometimes doubt myself i feel like it's impossible and like i'll never get it...i'm scared of failing again
Do you think i'm overreacting taking it to seriously? Any suggestions of what to do
would be helpful
With everything you do there is a chance you will fail. I think that if you really read the questions and think it through it will help you pass. There will always be the risk you will fail but don't let it discourage you! Try again and again and again. How bad do you want it?! Study if you have to do whatever it takes! Anything worth having is worth trying/putting 1000% into it! You'll pass i'm sure of it just keep trying!

i take a shower everyday and then my hair is greasy. i dont know what it is. i will get up in the morning, take a shower & by 6th hour itll be greasy. is there anything to solve this? i rate 5 for all(:
-I wouldn't try the baby powder thing until after school, that way if it doesn't work, your just at home.
This happens to me too, I try not to touch my hair during the day. Like, NEVER. Also, you know those seat things that go on the tiolet in the bathroom. Well, if your school has them, they take out greese from hair. If your school doesn't have them then this is new info for when you are out!
-E
my friend said something the other day about her thighs not touching, and she seemed kind of annoyed by it, i guess? anyways, ever since she told me this, i can't help but notice that all of the girls i go to school with, all of my friends, my family members, etc, all of their thighs touch. in case you don't know what i mean, when you stand up and put your feet together, your thighs touch at some point below your crotch. mine don't. i'm pretty skinny, and that might have something to do with it, but i've seen people skinnier than me and their thighs touch. and i just can't help but feel that i must have chicken legs or something and i feel incredibly self concious. are there any exercises i could do to make my thighs more...muscle-y, i guess? just more shapely so i don't feel so weird when i put on jeans and look down and there's a huge space between my two legs.
thanks.
There is nothing wrong your theighs not touching. Rock it, have confidence! THAT is what is attractive to anyone!
But if you want to gain muscle, try just running or walking everyday. Something where your legs are moving.
**Many girls would kill for their legs not to touch, but its okay if your insecure. Try to have confidence. Everyone is built differently!

so last night i was at a party, and i ended up hooking up with this kid..we were both kind of drunk, him more so than me. i drove him home after, and we had some fun in the car. The only problem is, he has a girlfriend that he has been dating for over a year. He called me last night and we talked for like 2 hours, and he wants to continue hanging out and doing things, but wants to keep it a secret. is it bad to be that other girl? i do like him and we hooked up a few times in the past before his girlfriend, and he is very sweet and charming, but i dont know if i want to risk being that other girl, and having his girlfriend find out. what should i do?
If you want to eventually be more, don't do it. Right now all he sees you as is a hookup. If you want to be with him you want to be exclusive. Why share your man? I understand if you like him but this is not the way to try and be with him. Your going to hurt your self as well as this other girl. You would hate it if he was cheating on you.
Bottom line, bad idea!

ok so i have a boyfriend. we have been dating for 1 yr. and 3 months.....well heres the thing...i might be falling in love with someone else....its confusing but really he treats me better...i feel like i wanna break up with my boyfriend....but i dont know. Im really interested in my in him but i lov my boyfriend....please help!
It is not okay to like someone else in a relationship. I would suggest a break with you and your boyfriend so you can sort things out. I don't think that you are truly in love with your current boyfriend. You probably have love for him, but you are not IN love with him. Otherwise, you would not have any feelings for anyone else. Deffinetly, take a break and think these things through.

So heres the dealio...I want to get fingered my friend did and said it was amazing? so uhm like i wanna do it with a older guy.no strings attached i am not a relationship girl at all i mean im not planning on sex just yet but i do wanna do some sort of sexual stuff? what do i do? and i am not going to finger myself so dont mention it? mm? help hah i sound like a immature little 10 yr old im not tho ahh
You are not 10! I understand that from the question! haha, Okay, I think that you should wait until you find the right person. You don't want to mess around with just random guys. On top of that, no older guy is going to JUST randomly finger some girl. You would have to walk up to them at the mall or something and ask for it to be no strings attached. They would probably want something in return.
If getting fingered is this important to you, you might just want to do it yourself. Its the only way that doesn't look bad and that doesn't involve finding someone else. I don't think you want to scope out the mall for the guy to do it.

lately iv been smokeing and my boyfriend doesnt approve of it. sometimes it gets 2 the degree 2 where he storms off and wont talk 2 me 4 a day or 2. im scared he might break up with me over it.how do i try 2 make it up 2 him...i luv him and when i try 2 ask him questions his answer 4 everything is i dont know! how do i get things the way they use 2 be?
Okay, I know you said that he won't answer your questions, but you should sit down with him and lay it all out on the table. Ask him why it's a big deal. Offer to smoke one coverage less a day and to not do it around him. Show him you actually care. About the storms off part. Before you get down to the smoking issue just say hear me out, or we need to talk. This is important and we need to deal with it now. If you love him you will be okay with making sacrifices like smoking less or not when your with/near him. It's a personal choice he made and maybe something happened when he was little thAt flturned him off from smoking. Basicly, you guys need to talk it out there is no sence on loosing your relationship over this. Just understand his point of veiw Nd respect it don't say it's wrong just because it's not what you want to hear or because it's not your point of veiw. Also, we all know smokings bad foe your health. So it's okay to smoke less or try to quit! Although you do not have to quit for him the choice is really up to you.
I hope all goes well and if you need more advice about this or any thing else feel free to drop it in my inbox!

I only have a few days at my job kind of. I work until the 31 of Decemeber unless they decided to keep my longer. I am in my third trimester. I have been sick all winter pretty much, stumoch bug, to a cold, two appcest teeth, to strep now i have a terrible cold cant breath etc. I also have been having dizzy spells. my doctor said i need to take it easy when i stand up stand there a minute before walking stuff like that at my job im up and down because they allow me to sit when its not busy im afird of passing out i have been having my dizzy spells three days straight now. My question is should i continue working.
You probably shouldn't. Just tell them you don't feel up to par and you don't want your work to suffer. Your working for less than a week before your supposed to be done, rtherefore I don't think it is that big of a deal. Just tell them about your dizziness and how you've been really sick latly. Besides, zif your doctor told you to take easy andyour job is up and down then you should stop early anyway. Just let them know what is up and I'm sure they will understand.

Okay i weigh aroung 160 and I'm thirteen. now i know what your thinking but just wait. I look like i weigh 120 lbs, the reason i am 160 is that i have very large breast i wear a 38d and my mom makes fun of my weight, she calls me names and it really hurts me. How should i deal with it when it's not me that's causing the weight?
Try talking to your mom about how this is affecting you. I am very sorry that you are being treated this way. And you really do have no control over this. Tlking may not do anything, but is important for you to share with your mom that this hurts. Even if you weighed 200 pounds with An a cup size, As a mother, your mom should not make fun of you. It's not right. You shoulzd express how you feel, but at the same time understand that your moThers opinion does not matter. Have confidence and grow from this experience. It's going to be hard to ignore the comments your mother makes, but in order to grow from this and become happy it's the only way. We all feel for you and are sorry for your situation. I hope you either confront your mother and ignore her comments.
If you ever need any help feel free to inbox me a question!
