Q: My homecoming dance is on Saturday and my dress is black, just plain black with like a ruffle around the waist. I want to add more color to my dress so i was thinking of buying a ribbon to tie on my dress or something. Does anyone have any good ideas what color ribbon i should get to match my black dress? And where could i get a ribbon that i can wear? I rate high for good answers.

any bright color (except yellow or red might look good) silky ribbon works nicely. you can try joanns or micheals for ribbon. you could also wear the ribbon in your hair!

Q: my parents and I ALWAYS fight. Right when I turned 13 they started becoming so overprotective. They track my e-mails, text messages, and phone calls. They won't let me hang out with my friends either. I got invited to Washington with my BFF for Fall Break and of course they said No. When I asked why they started yelling at me and grounded me for " being a brat. " I can't take it anymore. I'm stuck in my room everynight for the dumbest reasons like, I got an 83% on a math test (apparently a B isnt good enough ). I CANT TAKE IT. pleasee help, I'd really like it.

PS: I've never been a bad kid. I'm responsible, great in school, I don't get into trouble or do drugs or anything. SO why did they become so overprotective ?

thnks bunches.

ok i no how stupid this sounds but your parents care about your saftey (both emotionally and physically).i think that you need to sit down with them, tell them that your not trying to b bratty, and reach an agreement that gives you your freedom and lets them feel that your safe.

hope i helped

Q: Ok 4 about 2 weeks I have been loosing alot of weight! I mean like I have lost 7 or 8lbs in that time period. What I have been doing is not eating ANYTHING from 7:00am to 3:30pm and I have pratacly been starving my self. When I think of Food I get so hungray. But I don't feel like eating. I weighted 220lbs and now I weigh about 212. Is this healthy. I eat when I get home. No Smartasses please. Thanxs

ok

starving yourself is not a great option!

also, if you eat 5 snack sized meals a day, you wont neeed to eat a lot at night, which is the worst time to eat.
if you have to skip a meal, skip dinner!

hope i helped

Q: Ok, I'm 13 (14 next week), 5'1", and 161 pounds. I'm very overweight. Embarrasing, but it's the truth. I need to lose weight. I really want to lose like 50 pounds by Christmas possibly sooner. My mom was going to order the Nutrisystem foods for me but it has been delayed(probably cancelled) cuz we just can't afford spening 300 dollars on something like that right now. Is there anything else out there that can help me?! I don't want diet pills or ebooks but maybe some type of prepackaged food meals that maybe are a little cheaper. Or like a diet plan just for me that doesn't cost much!!!

i know that kaiser has many teen weight loss and fitness programs, and i think some of them may be free. also, remember that tons of people would love to have your weight, as many teens weigh 200+ lbs.happy bday and hope i helped.

Q: im a 14/f, almost 15, and im around 5'4 or 5'5 and about 135 pounds, but im muscular. how many shots would be safe to drink? i drink for fun, but i want to be sure i dont get blood alcohol poisioning. what would the safe amount to drink be?

its not safe to drink any alcohol before you are 21.there are reasons for every law, and all of them are to keep you safe, so if you want to know how many to drink, i say dont drink any.
