Here are some things I recommend:
* If you both like to work out, you could go for a run, together.
* Bowling
* Roller-skating
* Go to your local pool
* Hit the mall and grab something to eat
* If you have any events going on in your town/city, you could go to one of them
* Go to the movies [[[in a group]], that way he won't get the wrong idea. Or you could just explain that to him, that's what I did with my best friend (yes, a guy), because I'm in the same situation as you are.
|

this guy asked me togo see a movie and his like wayy older then me like aboout 3 years lets say and i dont if he means like a date or just to hnag out ??? cuz im 15 and his 18 so i dont he was all like so u wanna go to the movies and i dont if its date or not?? (link)
| |
The only real way to know if it's a date or not, is to ask him. More than likely, it's a date. Though, I think it is better to ask because you could be thinking it's one thing, and he could be on a completely different page than you are.

we had a big fight and she wont forgive me i think she hates me WHAT DO I DO?
♥
Sad and Concerened (link)
| |
Since you two just had this fight, give it some time. When you first get into a fight with someone, you need your space and time to think and you're going to be angry for a little while. So I would wait a day or two, and then try to talk to her about it, in a calm manor. I'm sure everything will be alright, sisters get in arguments and get over them all the time. I don't think you have anything to worry about. =)

I have always wanted to be a model, but I don't know what steps to take in becoming one, and how much it will cost me. Any help?
F/Any age is appropriate (link)

Now, if you're really serious about becoming a model -- here is what you need to do:
First, find an agency that will accept you. They have open calls, but the best thing to do (in my opinion) is to submit your photos to them. All agencies prefer color photos, and they do NOT have to be professional. Just regular snapshots, with your hair pulled away from your face and slim to none makeup. They want to see your natural beauty. Also, most agencies want a body shot and a head shot, and sometimes a mid-length body shot.
Next, after taking your photos go to an agencies website. Here a some for you, that are definitely legitimate.
http://www.fordmodels.com
http://www.lamodels.com
http://www.elitemodels.com
http://www.wilhelmina.com
http://www.irenemarie.com/index.cfm
Be sure to check out their guidelines on submitting your photos, and where to send them. They'll get back with you, if they think you're good for their agency. If you get turned down, don't be disappointed. Every agency is looking for something different. Doesn't mean anything is wrong with you, the best of the best have been turned down and rejected many times. And that's apart of the modeling world, unfortunately.
By the way, just some tips for you and good things to know. Never do you ever have to pay an agency to see you, or to look at your photos or to take photos, etc. If they ask you this, they are a scam!
Speaking of payment, here is how that works. Once an agency accepts you, they will get you jobs and if you get that job, they will get a percentage of what you get paid for that job. So that's how they get paid.
Good luck to you in the modeling world!
Work it out, girls! And practice that walk, and also practice your facial expressions in the mirror. Both will help you =)

(link)

I think you've asked the right person, I know tons about the modeling industry. Luckily, for you, it does not take $10,000 to get a portfolio. That right there, is a scam. Now, if you're really serious about becoming a model -- here is what you need to do.

Even though school hasn't started yet and homecoming is ages away, I feel like I won't be able to find a dress if I don't start looking early. I'm usually disappointed by what department stores have to offer and appalled by the immense amount (or apparent absence) of spandex and glitter in dresses from smaller stores. Does anyone know where I can find a nice form-fitting dress that isn't too short or low-cut?
P.S. low-mid price range please :) (link)
| |
I recommend Forever 21 and Wet Seal. They both have really cute dresses, and low prices.

any ideas? thank you! (link)

I'm a couple years younger than you, and can see where you're coming from. But listen, making out with a lot of guys and other similar things are definitely not the most important. I say, if you really like a guy, then go for it. Though that doesn't mean that you have to go into making out with him, or anything else that you aren't comfortable with or you just feel awkward doing.
Believe me, when you're ready and the time is right for you to do something with a guy -- you'll know it and things will work out. It comes in good time with a good guy, you'll know when it's right.
I think you need a confidence booster when it comes to talking to guys, etc. When it comes to talking to them, if you have confidence and are nice -- they'll more than likely like you. Even if it's just a friend, that's still a good thing. I would keep working on that, if I were you, and I'm sure everything will work out for you.
Good luck =)

ugh. my parents think im some good girl who knows nothing but i do a lot behind their back and im proud of it. but they make me so mad because they dont let me do things that other kids get to do. ive talked to them about it but they just say ill thank them when i get older. so im always trying to go to friends houses casue their parents let us go out. but what can i do to stop being so mad at them or to make them let me go out more?
15/f btw. (link)
|
I know your parents make you angry at times, because you don't always get to do what you want to do. However, you only have one real mom, and one real dad. So it's best to try to make the absolute best of it, because I know how hard it is without a parent. I lost my dad and I'm the same age as you are, and believe me, it's a feeling unlike any other.
So my advice to you is to try to make things work out. Talk to your parents, let them know how you're feeling (in a calm manor), and try to go about it that way. I think the key is responsibility in this case, try to prove to them that you're responsible enough to be able to go out more often. That you're trustworthy.
Although, this may still not work. Especially, if you're like me. My mom and step dad won't let me stay out later than my curfew (9 PM) unless it's a special occasion, though if I talk to them about it, they usually let me go. So I think you should try what I suggested, and I think things just may turn around for you. Good luck!

i kinda have harry arms.. nobody has every like said anything to me about it but i notice it.. should i shave them.. or would that make it worse? (link)
| |
No, no, no. If it bothers you, use Sally Hansen Spray-On Shower-Off Hair Remover. It's a life saver, and involves no shaving whatsoever.
|
i have dark brown eyes and i would like to buy color contacts that are light brown- which brand should i get?
(acuvue, freshlook, durasoft, etc) (link)

I recommend Acuvue, they're really comfortable, you barely even know they are there.

okayy i really need advice asap. okay so theres this girl who now goes to my school this year & shes a sweetheart and were friends. Were not like super close but i love her to death. So theres this guy at my school that is just gorgeous & i really like him. We hung out and all that & i really connected with him. Well when i came home i found out that the girl that i'm friends with went out with him for about a year off and on. She was upset with me and cried so muchh. Like she told me she doesn't want to be friends with me anymore cause it hurts her too much and she thinks i don't care about her. i talked to her and all that but she decided not to be friends. When one of my friends get mad at me, like everyone does and i'm so scared of that. I know your gonna say well then their not real friends but idk, just bare with me lol. anyways - Well the guy i like says he really likes me & don't even like his ex girlfriend anymore but shes still head over heels for him. I offered to stop talking to him and shes like NOO i don't wanna make your life shitty, please just get to know him & leave me out of it. I really don't know what to do. When i hung out with him the other dayy, i didn't wanna leave. Hes so cute & sweet and ahh i just like him alott. So what do i do? The girl i was friends with said shed get overr it eventually but i don't want the whole world hateing me because of this. For one its not their business and two, i can't stop who i likee even when i didn't know they datedd. i'm so shooken up over this situation. My best friend is also friends with this girl and i'm so afraid she`ll turn on me after she said she really wouldn't. I'm so scared. And i feel so bad that i did this to the girl but i don't know what to do. should i stop talking to him? should i just let her get used to it, or get over it ? Just give me advice on what you would do if you were in my place. thnk you so much. (link)

Actually, I wasn't going to say you're not real friends. I do think you are real friends, because this kind of thing happens often...too often. So here's my advice to you: I think that either way, unfortunately, someone is going to get hurt out of this situation. Even though your friend says she's eventually get over it, we both know how that goes. She's still going to hate it that you're with him, I've been there and I still don't like the girl who did that to me. It feels like a betrayel in one way.
However, in another way, she has to understand that you are her friend and you really like this guy. And what she and him had is over, and it's going to be over whether you and this guy are close or not. It's not going to change.
So if I were you, I would talk to your friend and let her know how you feel and that you really like this guy. That you're sorry that everything is over between her and him, but you have to be happy too. And that you're going to continue seeing him, and you hope that she can accept that as your friend.
Good luck! =)

Yes, I am sorry. You are right. My hair is not damaged, though. It's perfect and healthy. Thank you so much for the advice that you gave me, though! I really appreciate it! It's just that my hair is like naturally straight but like some in the front waves and it looks really bad. So, I started to straighten it. I used a straightener from wal mart that says it gets to 375 degrees(no it did not.). Then my sister bought a Chi straightener and I used that for like the last month of school. Since I did that, does it mean that my hair will be ruined in the future? And can I still straighten it or do Ineed to stop? (link)
|
No problem, and you're welcome.
I think (in my opinion) that your hair will become damaged in the future because of this, so it's up to you if you would like to continue doing it or stopping it. See, it's kind of like skin damage from the sun. You may be tan now and looking great, but get too much sun -- and when you get older you're going to look like one cooked chica. Sounds funny the way I put it, but it is true.

Okay this may sound stupid to some...but here's my problem.
My husband and I have been married for three years. I love him very much. He's 26 now and I'm 23. I just graduated from Harvard.
My husband comes from a rather welathy family and once he graduated from Harvard he took over his father's company.
Recently he just expanded the company and I really have no clue what that means, but he's so busy now and always so stressed out.
I just found out I am around one month pregnant a few days ago, and I'm so happy, but the thing is I don't know if my husband will be... Landon and I have discussed having children, but we didn't plan for this. He suspects something is wrong...I can rarely hide my feelings from him.
It's just that he's so busy right now and it would break my heart if he wasn't happy about the baby. He told me things would be hectic for a while with his company, he's always gone before I wake up and he comes home around 2:00 AM and sometimes I wait up for him...even though he tells me not to.
Should I tell him now? I probably won't start showing for a few more months. Would it really hurt to wait until he isn't so busy and stressed out with running a whole company. I really don't want to be selfish, because I know that if I told him he would stay home with me and become so overprotective and want to be with me every second.
He already feels bad that we don't have that much time to spend together right now. He says he feels as if he's neglecting me...and being a bad husband. That makes me sad because he's not.
Anyway, should I tell him or not? I don't want him to hinder the whole company because of me, and I guess I'm also kind of scared he'll react badly towards the baby. What if he doesn't want it...
Anyone who can help, please do, and thank you so much.

You really need to tell him now. I understand how you feel, and that he's very busy and such. However, how would you feel if he didn't tell you something extremely important, that involves you, because you were stressed out and busy? Not very good. And this is very important, because it's a baby and it's his. So he has a right to know and soon, even though he is busy.
I think he would feel better too, if he knows soon. Also, he may get mad at you for not telling him and waiting so long. So I believe it's best to tell him now, I'm sure things will work out great.
By the way, congratulations on the baby! I hope it's healthy! =)

Ive been with Verizon for a few years now. They have great service and their phones arent to bad. But they are very expensive and require you to purchase all this other crap in order to use certain parts of your phone. So, Im thinking of switching services but not quite sure who to go with. I used to work for a cell phone company so Ive done ALOT of research. And I know that service varies in different states. But I was curious as to what service everyone has, what phone they went with, and over all how satisfied you are with the phone and serivce? (link)
| |
I have Sprint, a Samsung phone, and I'm very satisfied. They have good customer service, and are pretty cheap. That is, as long as you don't have everything under God's creation on your phone, ha. With the plan I have, you get free minutes on weekends and every night, after 7:00. So I would recommend Sprint.

I am 13 years old and I want a myspace, but my mom will not let me have on. Does anyone know about any websites that are like myspace but no age limits?
(link)
|
I can understand why your mom doesn't want you on Myspace, considering that the internet in general is filled with online predators and other dangerous things -- especially, when it comes to Myspace. However, there are alternatives to Myspace that are just as good, if not better.
Such as Facebook, Xanga, and Bebo. All three of these are pretty much like Myspace, except in my opinion, they're safer. They do have an age limit (all social networking sites do), however, it's thirteen so you'll be able to use them as long as your mom allows you.

I got my first period ever on July 31st and I've had it ever since and I still have it. Tomorrow's going to be the 3rd week I had it. Is this normal on the first one? I'm kinda worried about it. (link)
| |
It's normal for your period to be irregular when you first get it, or even years after you've gotten it. So I think you're fine, however, if it continues for another week or so -- I would get it checked out, just incase.
