stay on the teacher's good side.
keep organized binders!
bring everything to class.

what are some good books for teenage girls. i like books that like have to do with drugs and things us teenagers struggle with.. so basically books that i can relate to. they dont have to do with drugs and alcohol but i want to read something that gets me into the book
welll a book i was pretty into even though its fake or whatever is "go ask alice". its an easy read since it's like a journal. "shattering glass" was also good but it's not super girly or anything like that.
what is the fastest way to loose 15 pounds?
*lose. fast weight loss means you will put it back on...fast. eat less and work out tons.
It was the night of my year 11 prom n i was a bit tipsy so i slow danced with a boy who has fancied me like mad for about two years. Then when it came to the end of the evening i said bye, went home and thought nothing of it. He then started textin me n sayin that he loved me n that he wished the dance didn't have to finish. But because i was "slightly tipsy" i got in on the act and started flirtin with him, so he then thought that i fancied him. Then the next time i saw him was at a mates party and ayou do at a party i was a bit drunk and he asked me to go out with him.And i said yes. For some unknown reason. This was three weeks ago and he constantly texts me sayin he loves me n he tells me to my face that he loves me but i just don't feel the same way about him. How can i tell him that i don't like him as a boyfriend but just as a mate, without making it sound too harsh? plz help!
oh goshhhh! just tell him that you want to just be friends and then like invite him to hang out so he doesnt think it's just a stupid excuse. maybe you shouldn't drink before seeing people like him in public places... save it for when you are with friends and people you really like.
Ok, so, i gave my mom the description of a certain way i wanted my hair to look, and she didnt care for the idea?
here is the discription i found: "EMO hair for boys: Hair - Rarely washed, if ever. Dyed black if not black naturally. Is normally cut very short with bangs cut straight across the front. If you prefer longer hair grow it to the length of about your eyes and never comb it."
How can I get my mom to allow me to style it that way? 
Also, any crud I get about the hairstyle i want will get 1's
i know you probably don't want too but you could compromise. get it cut pretty short in the back with the bangs in the front. maybe she'd go for it then? and tell her that you will wash it... my mom would say no to taht too if it said "rarely washed, if ever". my one friend has her hair like this and she just went to get her hair done and her mom wasnt next to her and the stylist like suggested it and her mom counldn't do anything about it. you could tell the lady you want something "edgy" and she might be able to do something both you and your mom can agree on.... maybe even start your own trend? hope it all works out for you!
I've gone to a small prep school since 6th grade and i just finished 10th. I'm only 14, all my classmates are 16 (i skipped 1st grade). i've been struggling with being younger for a long time. after 6 years at one school i am ready to re-invent myself. my mother is a teacher at the school i go to and i get free tuition because of that. all my classmates are really rich and i have a hard time keeping up with them when we go places ($50 on dinner, that kinda thing). also i'm younger so i'm not as strong-therefore not as good at sports as the other girls in my grade. i am seriously thinking about switching to the local public school and starting as a 10th grader. there are a few thousand kids going there and it has kind of a bad/rough rep. i only know a few people there. but i would get my chance to be the same age as everyone else and become a new person. i just don't know if i can handle it. what should i think about before making this decision? it's a big one because if i switch my prep school won't take me back. any ideas on how i should decide, or opinions on which school i should go to, or anything at all would be really really appreciated.
Wellll i think that if you go to a public school, at least start back up in 11th grade. (do you really want to redo 10th grade at an easier school, just to take longer to graduate?) just keep going... you only have 2 more years of being the baby then in college you might find some other young ones (maybe even at the public school?) you can become a new person when you switch schools and go into 11th grade... I didn't think people cared about ages? a lot of people probably don't know. It seems like you really want a chance to start over so I think you should. if the prep school won't take you back well you only have 1-2 years left anyway.
okay.. so my hair is curly/wavy by nature
so when I go to school I always straighten it in the morning.
BUT now we have this school fieldtrip thing, means we go camp in tents for 5 days.
normally I was my hair everyday, But if I now was my hair I get curly/wavy hair because I can't bring my straighter along.
ARE there ANY other ways of straightening your hair without using an straighter or blow-dryer.. because I can't use like.. 'machines' if that makes sense..
REPLY PLEASE I RATE 5'S FOR ANY GOOD ANSWERS!!
FIELDTRIP IS TOMORROW
thanks!! 
you could straighten it tomorrow morning after you shower, not wash it the next day, then after that use serum or something (that someone else mentioned) to straighten it. personally, i think you should leave it curly and just put it in a pony tail. i have the same type of hair and since you're in nature anyway, you dont need to leave it down and look cute. you could put it ina bun or even 2 braids? i'm sure a lot of the girls going on this have the same issue with this too.
if you could change/improve anyhing about your school, what would it be? im doing this for a research class so responses are appreciated =]
*random teacher checks.. like someone in authority pops in at a random time to see what the teacher is doing.
*air conditioning.
*I go to a private school so idk if this would help you but the religion rooms have smart boards but the biology labs do not.. (hmm..even my bio teacher was pissed about that one!)
*better dress codes (i have uniforms that i always got in trouble for)
*better food!!!
*allowed going out during lunch/study hall
I have like a million lotions and i have sooo many i can never find the kind i want. what are some ways to organize them so i can see all of them but it doesnt look junky like just sitting all of them on a big counter!! thanks!!!
get a big plastic container or basket and put them all in there. get rid of the ones you dont like then organize the rest. (by order in which you use the most, like the most, color..)

the notebook, a walk to remember, chicago.. 
My sister just had a baby and he husband's last name is Wood. Well, my sister has always wanted to name her daughter "Holly". So we just need a few HONEST opinions here.
Do you find it tacky to have a girl named "Holly Wood?"
I think that would be awesome! i guess some people would think it was weird and stuff but i'd loveeee to have that name!
im 15 almost 16 and i am still in a AA-cup bra.
mom is a A-cup, but my sister is a C-cup.
This is completely destroying my life!  I have not had a boyfriend cuz' my breasts are tiny now I am old and nobody will want me.
what about breast enlargement?
are there any other wayz i can get someone to love me?
is surgery for enlarging my breasts my best way to get my life back?
i want to have a boyfriend before i get old!  am i already too old?  none of the boys will want me soon.  i am almost 16!
Please HELP ME!
whoa chill! i know a lot of 15 year olds with AAs. the fact that you have small breasts isn't the reason you don't have a bf... it's your lack of self confidence. no, it won't "destroy your life"... you still have time to grow and you can change things...push up bra? you can get some confidence and get guys with your personality. no, you are not too old. look at it this way... your mom is slightly bigger than you... and she IS your mother. (she had to get a guy sometime in there) see? breasts aren't everything. what about your butt? a lot of guys are "booty guys" meaning they like girl's buts above all things. and then there are guys that like legs, stomachs, etc. so yes, you will find someone to love that loves you and your small breasts. they stay perky forever so learn to love them.
If you have sex with a condom are you still considered a virgin or does it have to be unprotected sex? Just curious.
it doesnt matter if there's a condom or not... if the penis goes in, neither person is a virgin anymore.
is 110/70 for blood pressure good or bad..
that's really good actually.
Can you please tell me how old you were when you went on your first date, and the first time you made out??
14.. summer before 9th grade
I graduated high school back in May and all throughout high school, I never really liked cared for or paid attention in any classes like algebra, physics, pre cal, etc. I'm a pretty smart girl, I just didn't care. I convinced my parents to let me take a semester off before going to college because I really don't want to do. I don't think its right for me. I know I will most likely flunk out because I really don't care about any of those classes that are required.
What I do know is designer, fashion, and clothes. And I know it good. Gucci, Burberry, Fendi, Dior, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Prada, you name it. Well, I got a job offer at Chanel in the Galleria, here and this is my DREAM job. This is something I want to do and something I'd care about. I'd just be the "welcome girl" (welcome people into the store, show them around, make suggestions, etc.) but it's a place I can work my way up from. The lady that wants to give me the job started the same way and now she makes 95,000 working for Chanel!! And she didn't go to college either. All she did was take training courses and such, offered by the company.
So here comes the problem, my parents. They told me I could take the job if I wanted but I'd still have to quit and go to college come January. I've talked to them about it so many times that I'm just sick of it. I don't know why they think that just because I turned 18 and graduated high school, that I'm going to start caring about school, because I'm NOT! It just isn't for me, but Chanel is. They’d be wasting their money. What do I do here?
Maybe you can compromise. You could work at channel during the day and take some sort of college class at night... not just to please your parents, but to enrich yourself. what if something goes wrong with channel or they don't advance you for another 15 years? would you still like it there? a high school degree with get you some jobs but if you go to college, you have more selection and better pay. Don't quit the job tho... find a way to work a scedule around it. i know school seems like the least important thing right now, but later on you might regret not going while you still had the chance. just think about it & try both.
Okay my birthday is in like 2 months. Aug 14. I don't know what i want to do. I want to be with my friends but I have plans for that night. I wouldnt mind having a party, but it cost money. what should i do but i dont want to spend a lot of money
well if you have about $50 you can throw a good party and not have to make your friends bring stuff. get a ton of pop, order pizza and play your ipod and get it started at your house or a park or pool.
does baby oil help you tan?
i usually put it like on my body... not on my face. i used to use it like all the time but even though i tan easily, it would look kinda reddish. use sunscreen... you get a better color that way and it protects your skin. (yes, you will still tan, i promise!)
Usually, I have a vocal range from E3(the E below Middle C) to C6 (The C two octaves higher than Middle C). But whenever I'm in chorus, for some reason, I can barely sing the high A. I don't see why. Does anyone have ideas?
And please, only answer this if you know about the subject.  
It could be that your voice isnt connected (your head and chest voices are completely different) and it might be hard for you to randomly get up that high. it could be that you are not warmed up enough (choir warmups in a word...suck) so try warming up before and take lessons if you can.
