advice

Hey. I'm 14/F and my friend is 13/F. She was diagnosed with Luekimia last month. Can anyone think of thinks a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD can do, someone with very little money on her hands, to raise some money or help out my friend Caroline. I really want to help, and someone else has already organized a walk to raise money so that idea is out. Any ideas would be very much appreciated and I do rate.
Thanks.


P.S. I don't know what kind of luekimia she has but I know she has started Chemo already and she's really sick due to the side affects of it.
And the ideas don't have to raise money, but if it's something that can make her feel a little better, or comfort her please let me know, I want to do anything it takes to help her.

Aw, that deffinitly stinks :(. Plan some type of fundraiser, like a bake sale or carwash to raise money. Ask a local store if you can have the carwash in their parking lot, say a walmart or something, or sell baked goods outside of it. Make posters, and get a bunch of your friends to help you spread the word about it. Hope I helped! Good Luck!

Okay, I need advice and I didn't know who else to ask. I'm feeling incredible apprehensive about living situations next year when I move to college. I'm supposed to be living with my two best friends. It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that I am very worried about differring priorities. I have one friend who is REALLY into partying, and who JUST GOT ENGAGED. The other, like me is still a partier, but feels that getting the education you're paying SOO MUCH for is more important. Most of all, I'm worried about my partying friend paying her rent, or not leaving in the middle of the year to live with her fiance. I'm wanting to address the issue, but I don't exactly know how to bring it up... Any advice would be REALLY appreciated!

Sincerely,
An Apprehensive Roomate

Invite them over to your house for dinner. During dinner just bring up the topic of whats going to happen, ask if their excited and such, and just bring up kindly if your friend is thinking of moving in with her fiance. Your partying friend most likely realizes that she wont be able to party so much, due to classes/paying for rent/probably getting a job. Say you read an article in a magazine that this girl had troubles with her roomates....or whatever, and then be like, thats not going to be us right! Just, talk about it simply to them. Hope i helped! Good lUck!

I like this 1 boy in on of my classes at school and i want to try and be freinds with him so that we can talk and get to nkoweach other more! does anyone know how to do that???? please help! thanks

Get a group of friends to come to your house, let him know that you'd love if he came, and write everything down on a piece of paper. Then give him your number and have him call you if he can come. I say...plan this even for a saturday, so, tell him about it on a wednsday. If he doenst come, then, the next monday...just tell him {in a joking voice} I was so sad you couldnt come on saturday. And then talk from there. Its no biggy, talk to him for now like you do with your other guy friends, and once you learn more about each other, start flirting with him a bit. Give it time girlie. Hope I helped!
