what is a really cute and cool way to ask a guy to the saide hawkins dance? i really like him but i dont know if he'll say yes..some other girls have already asked him and he's said no...how do i catch his eye?

Put a note in his locker. If he doesn't have your cell number, leave it on the note and tell him to text you if he wants to find out who you are. If he does have it, then just put your name at the bottom. =)

Its driving me nuts! I know lots of guys at school like me-alot. But no one has ever asked me out! My bestfriend gets all these "oohs" and "ahhs" whenever she talks about me and shows them a pic, but ive never been asked out. WHen i was little everyone made fun of me, so i dont really have any guy friends, but now im one of the hottest girls in school. Still no boyfriend. My bffs tell me i should ask myself, but im too nervous to do that. My biggest guess is that all the guys are afraid im too good for them. Im pretty sure of that. But if they knew me, theyed c how happy go lucky i am! How can i get a boyfriend??? Guys, ur welcome to give me some answers too bcause this question relates to u. so plz! HELP!

I agree, you're only in high school BUT to answer your question. Talk to THEM! Nothing serious, just start to joke around with guys more. Show your true side. Maybe have a small get together at your house or something to show people you want them to get to know you. Be flirty after awhile. If youre in sports, talk about sports. Guys LOVE when a girl knows about sports. I have TONS of guy friends and guys who like me because I know a lot about football and I played basketball and cheered. Just be more outgoing toward guys! =) good luck!

so i have a feeling i am going to get my period this friday and that is my high school prom. would it be awkward if i wore a pad under my dress.. if i was grinding with a guy would he be able to tell would it be weird? im not sure if im comfortable enough with tampons to wear it this week what should i do?

if your dress is super poofy, he wont be able to tell. But if you dress is just a normal dress, he still might not be able to tell. Just stay clear of him rubbing your butt. lol

My friend & I would like to start a summer job ... In the summer .. Anyways, we were wondering where we could get a job. Besides McDonalds, Babysitting, Paper Route, Etc. Like, somewhere where we can get Hired. If it helps, we live in Canada . & We're turning 14 .
Many Thanks :)

Sadly, you can't get hired unless you know the owner of the business. The Child Law states that kids under 16 can not get hired unless it is a family owned business and/or a farm. Now as the girl under me said, she works as a pet person. Chances are she gets paid under the table bc if she were to get a pay check, her boss would get in trouble bc she is under 16. For all that, I can't suggest a place to get "hired" bc there isn't. If your parent knows an owner of a business (good friends with them) see if they will ask them if they have some jobs around the office or something that needs done. You more then likely won't get paid much, but if you do it everyday, it'll add up!!

Hi, I am transferring to a new school this year and I don't know too many people that will be in my classes. Any tips on how to make friends/good impression on the first few days of school? Also any tips on how to overcome being shy if new people come and talk to me?
Thank You

When in class whoever is sitting by you, just say "hi, I'm :Samantha:"
When it comes to making a good first impression you really don't want to just sit there, they may think your stuck up, not friendly ex. So like I said, say hi to someone, and in your class before lunch, ask someone if it would be okay to sit with them since you don't know many or any one.
Wear nice looking clothes, but not short skirts that show your ass, thats a bad impression. SMILE:D
I hope everything will work out for you!!

i am in my junior year of high school. i wont be taking my SAT's this june due to the fact that i cant find any test centers, which is unbelievable... would it be too late if i take my first one during the fall and the 2nd during spring? =/ im very worried...

btw Bronx, NY

I don't think so. I'm in the same boat. My teacher said it wont be. Just as soon as you get your scores back in the spring and their better, send them in asp to any colleges to have signed up for or been accepted too. I hope I helped!

Ok well I'm tired of working alone in my English class. Everyone in that class knows each other but nobody talks to me, which lowers my self esteem greatly. Even though I have an 85% average, my mark could've went higher if I was better with my presentaton skills. It's a serios phobia of mine and i've fainted many times which is quite embarrassing and now I really am determined to have a partner when the teacher allows it for group assignments. I don't even care really if i have to do all the work, if they present it, it's totally fine with me.

There's a few different people I have in mind to ask if another project comes that allows two people to wokr together but I'm very socially challenged and don't know how to ask. I don't even know how to react to their reactions if they'll put me down or not. I was more realistic in telling my best friend this and she tells me that I'm making it sound like i want to ask a person out but it's only because i'm not used to it.

Please help me? It's really serious, I'm so fed up with it, i'm actually having urges to skip or not even present anymore. Is it jsut as easy as "can i be your partner?" or is it mroe difficult?

I'm not even sure because usually when she says it's a group assignment everyone turns around to other people and the group is mentally already formed. I don't really here anyone asking "Can i be your partner?" these days.

And what do I do if someone rejects me?

thank you so much

Well for starters don't be happy if you have to do all the work and all they do is present it. Try talking to someone in that class now, become friends. And then when your talking one day, just be like oh hey, when we have another group thing to do in english wanna be my partner? Start talking to people on aol, myspace, or from other friends. I hope I helped!

Over the past year, I lost a bit of weight. Okay, maybe not a bit, approximately 40lbs. I do not weigh that much at all. I'm under 120. The thing is, I get a lot of comments & looks at school. I lost the weight in a healthy way. I was on a strict but good diet. I ate a ton of fruit & veggies, avoided extra fat/sugar, etc. The thing is people talk about me a lot. They always comment on how thin I am & make jokes about it. I do not find it funny. I know my friends & family are a bit concerned, but people at school are taking it a bit extreme in my opinion. At lunch time, my friends always watch what I eat. I get stared at by people from other tables. 'Anorexic' and 'Bulimic' was thrown at me a few times. It really frusterates me & is quite annoying. I don't understand why this is necessary. Not only do people joke with me about it, they talk about it behind my back with other people. They don't understand that it's actually embarrasing. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting more comments than girls who are overweight & I'm underweight. How can I avoid this?? I don't think I should have to hide myself in huge clothes because I don't want people saying anything. Especially when swimming in gym comes around. I want people to just drop it, but they don't. It's one thing to be concerned and another to talk about me for daily gossip, especially when the comments are rude. Any advice or suggestions?? Any opinions?? I know you aren't supposed to care about what people think or say, but it happens a lot & lunch has become a hard thing to do since everyone stares. I also don't want rumors going around. Thanks!!

My friend lost about 20 lbs over summer, but shes still, im not saying fat, but still has a little stomach. A lot of ppl thought she didnt eat and whatever. But she knew her real friends knew that she was on a good diet and lost it the right the way. Im not going to say eat a lot at lunch or whatever bc thats bad. But maybe the class before lunch be like Im so hungrey, and talk about your fav. foods. & if you hear someone talking about them wanting to go on a diet be like, this is what I did and it really works. Then tell them what you did in good detail. Uhmm.. Thats all I can really think of. I hope I helped!

Okay, so this all started out as me and a friend..not a close friend, let's call her E, would just make fun of the different bands we like. Because we like totally different bands. Anyways, but one day she just freaks out and starts yelling out me. And that started this little "argument." Anyways, so she starts posting hate bullitens about me on myspace. And people were like "What the hell is going on between you guys?" But anyways, then on Friday my friend was talking to me and she said something funny about Gerard Way (the guy that E loves). And E hears this. So throughout flag football in gym she chose to block my friend. Well, on purpose, she pushes her down and starts laughing. But my friend wasn't going to stoop down to her level, so she just told E to stop acting so immature and walked away. Well, after Spanish class me and my friend were sitting by this brick wall shed thingy. But my friend was standing, anyways she was talking about how E was being such a bitch, and needs to get over herself. And E comes up to her and slaps her in the face, and then pushes her and makes her head slam right into the brick wall. And she laughs and walks away before we can do anything about it. So I'm really pissed, and today I go on myspace to check my messages, and I see I have photo comments, and I see that E's best friend, (let's call her L) is posting comments abut how I'm an ugly ass bitch. Then she comments me over and over again saying such things as "Ugly ass bitch, Fag, Loser, Fat, Everyone hates you, Goth, Freak, Witch, Go die, etc." And I'm getting tired of this. And on Monday she is "threating" to get into some fight with me and my friends. >_> I'm not scared or anything, but I'm tired of their immaturity and crap.
But I don't want to go and tell the principle or anything unless it really starts to get out of hand.
So what should I do?


Thanks!

block them on myspace.. to stop the myspace shit. And you are doing the right thing, you and your friend, by calling them immature, they are. Im not sure about the "fighting" thing, all i got is to really tell someone. But just keep standing up for yourself! =D
&& i think its funny how L has to get into it. Cant E handle her own fights?.. hahahah

I am not a bully, and I am not currently being bullied. But I just finished reading the book
'Please Stop Laughing At Me" and it REALLY opened my eyes to the kids at my school who are bullied. I try to be nice to everyone, but there are those kids who stand out of the crowd and a lot of kids make fun of their differences. There are a bunch of kids I can name at my school who are victims of this. Constantly being made fun of. On one side, No one should ever have to be laughed at or made fun of. On the other hand, for some kids they kind of set themselves up for it. Is my reasoning wrong? I mean, I want to be friendly to those who dont have any friends and who are lonely, but I admit, I have to protect myself. The kid in that book that I read tried to help someone and he got made fun of. At my school, you could get like beat up. How am I supposed to help if I cant reach out to them. That book brought me to tears, just thinking of all the times a long time ago when I used to make fun of people. Not too bad stuff, but It sure wasnt angelic. If I tried talking to these kids that are shunned from the group, I will get shunned too. But if I dont help, I feel like a terrible person. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!?!?!? Thanks for the help

Just be nice to them. You don;t have to ask them to go places with you, or hang out with you. But if someone in your class is like that, and you cause are doing a partner thing, ask them to be in it. at my school, all the so called "preps" (me & my friends) WE dont make fun of those kind of people, but other kids who seem to be "punks" do. But I understand what you are saying. If your friends are like mine, and are nice to the others, then be nice. But if your friends are the "punk" kind, then find new friends. Im sorry I didnt help much. But just be nice to them, remember, you DONT have to ask them to hang out or anything, but the kindness you do, will someday be returned..

I'm going back to school in about two months, so the summer vaca just began. When I go back to school I want to be different. I'm a nice person and everything and I talk enough, but I want to be more outgoing and more talkative and different. What should I do to change ?

i agree with the person below me, BUT changing that fast will make people think your fake. three girls at my school always smile, but i know everyone knows their fake. they told their ex bff that they only smile to make others like them.. wow, i wont say everything. but just SLOWLY when school starts, or now, start talking to other people, but all at once. just slowly do it. hope i helped

Hi, I was really friendly with two girls from my class. I could do anything for them. I treated them like my sisters. But then one day because of a girl in opur class who was really close to my friends interfeared in our friendship and my friends broke up with me. I tried speaking to them but they just used abusive language and did not even talk. Then I avoided them and they too did the same. Soon I became friendly with all the popular girls of our class (which they wanted to so much when we were friends) and I made abvoyfriend who is one of the most popular guys in skool (he's the football team captain and everyone used to fantasize about him) and I also became the Art and Craft Club president. Now my Ex-best friends are so jealous they are tellin people stuff about me and i had a fight with three girls from school because of them. Talking is of no use because they are not ready to do so. I feel like murdering them but that's not possible. Am hurt. Help.

talk to your new friends.. tell them whats going on, and if your x friends say anything to her, its not true.. tell your guy this too, tell everyone that you can, before they can get to them. and tell the ppl that they already told that they are lying, and believe that they want.. && im glad to here that you moved on and got better friends && a boy!.. congrats on that... hope i helped!

I'm 13/f and really like this kid. He makes me laugh all the time, and has become a great friend since the beginning of the school year. I've liked him for about... 7 months now. Vacation just ended (we talked over vacation a couple times, and he teased me-in a playful way- and things like that), and since then, it seems as if he's been avoiding me. One of my friends thinks he has, and another thinks he might be too shy to talk to me because he likes me. It's not too great of a situation, though, because I'm also really shy when it comes to talking to guys I like, so I don't really have the guts to go talk to him. Yesterday, he only talked to me once, saying only like, 5 words. Today, he:
1. told me I dropped my chapstick, and
2:(I'm really sorry about the length), I saw him looking at me a few times, and I was pretty much staring at him in social studies, and when he saw me, I quickly looked away. The whole "him looking at me, me seeing him, then looking away" thing happened quite a few times. I think he might have been trying to catch my eye, and I don't know if I should go along with it. I really like him, I mean ALOT, and I don't want to screw anything up. Question: 1.Should I try to talk to him? 2:Should I go along with him trying to catch my eye? I'm sorry if my question dosen't make any sense, but to me, neither does this situation. Please help. Thanks :]
-very confused

you should totally talk to him!!.. its the best thing!.. also when you see him looking at you, smile!!.. && then he will either smile back or maybe turn away.. im thinking he'll smile!..

hope i helped!!

I am blonde (naturally) and always have been. I can't imagine my life without blonde hair. It is a huge part of who I am today. Anyways, my class mates decide to be sterotypical and now everything thinks I am just another dumb blonde. I am so tired of it. I didn't do my homework assignment once and I now I am dumb. They look at me as if I were an idiot. I'm no though. I have A's and B's and I am in honors and seminar classes! What can I do to prove to them I am not a dumb blonde? or should I just let it go and let them think what they want?

i know how you feel.
i use to have blonde hair up untill 7th grade.
my hair just changed colors..
its brown now..
but even tho my hair has changed ppl still call me a dumb blonde. i just let it go. but other ppl go along with it and act dumb, im happy that you dont. Dont for a minute let it bother you. theres nothing more you can do to prove your not.. i mean A's & B's.. and your a *dumb* blonde. just let them have their laugh untill their the ones getting F's cause their to worried about your life.

hey im 15/f andi have sadie hawkins dance this weekend.I was just wondering what i should wear and makeup and such
i usually wear my hair in a ponytail and i dont put it down so i guess i should straighten itand put it down??
what would make me look cute and stand out? makeup wise and clothing wise?
thankss

so i LOOVE sadies!... but some schools are differnt then others. at my school, we make our outfits. well my mom makes mine!.. ha.. but i usally have my mom make a skirt, and a cut of top with puffy arms, i put patches on, and the name of my dude of my butt. but i know across the river, they dont do that, they just wear shorts and some kind of farming top and cowboy boots.
but either way, put the name of your dude on your butt!..

hair.. try putting your hair down, and curl it. i have a perm and i wet my hair and moose it and put in low pony tails. its very cute. then put ribbons in it of your outfit color.

make-up.. try taking an eyeliner pencial and out freakles on your cheaks.
