Okay

my bff and i are really tight but there is one problem..
i never know what to get her for christmas!! i want to get her something personal, but not home-made. or maybe more than one thing.
please give all suggestions. i have about 35 dollars to spend if that helps.

for one of my bdays my friend gave me this gift. it was wonderful, what made it wonderful was that it was a bunch of random cute things. so maybe you can do that too. get a friendship bracelet, hair ties, keychains, make her a necklace, etc. btw it helps if you by things that will remind your friend of funny past memories so that it is personal, thats what makes it the most thoughtful!

we have a big sister little sister program in my school.
my big sister is a junior. what should i get her for christmas? please give any suggestions you have!!

i had that for badminton. what me and my "sister" did was give each other cute random things. for example give a nice pad, make a friendship bracelet, a cute stuffed animal, funny keychains, hair ties, clips, etc. buying small different things will make the gift interessting and if she doesnt like one thing there will be more that she can like.

Recently, I don't know why but it seems like all my friends either odn't like or, avoiding me, or loosing interest in me.

Some things that they do alot know is being very sarcastically mean like "Oh...realllllllyyyyy..."

And sometimes i need hlep with my work and when i have a huge assignment and go on, EVERYONE goes offline or says "Sorry, G2g!"

I'm so hurt, what should i do? Making new friends fast isn't a skill that I have and things are the same as usual so it's not that I'm saying things behind their back or anything

the only thing i can think of saying is maybe you should think about why they are acting this way. then see if the way they are acting is reasonable. and also maybe get them a surprise gift. that could make them feel good and think you are a nice friend.

I tend to get really shy and dont know what to say to people Im just meeting. Like with my friends im comfortable with with them so i can say anythign and im fine with that. But like i dont know how to keep a conversation going while meeting knew people because i freeze and Dont know what to say at all. :/ what should I do?

in my opinon the easiest thing to do would be to talk about something you are familiar with, something you have an opinon on. this makes it easier to talk and you can also see if you have things in common with them.

Ok ok I know a lot of people have been asking this ,but I really am stuck. I really want to get my best friend something really nice for christmas, but I don't know what to get her. She is 16, loves theater and musicals, normally wears (American Eagle, Holister ect,) but I dont want to get her just a shirt. I want to get her something she will like.

Thanks in advance. I'll rate you. =]

Hey, no problem. its really easy to get an idea block. anyways, i think a great gift for your friend could be 1)gift card to a movie theater or 2)treat her to a movie. maybe that could work.
