I have 6 friends to buy Christmas presents for, and I know I have at least 100$ to spend, but I don't want to spend ALL that!! Can you help me think of gifts to buy for each of them that are under 10$? I'll tell you a little about each person...
Kaylee- Likes sparkles, but is sporty, and lovesss good movies!
Rachael- Very girly, and loves pink!
Scotlyn- Somewhat girly, and likes glitter, etc.
Summer- Loves to READ! She loved the book "Blue is for Nightmares".. If you've read it, that's the kind of books she likes!
Hannah- Girly.. likes makeup!
Kassy- Likes tinkerbell and monkies, and frogs.

I need to buy them each something 10$ or under! Please help me!

I'm also not sure what to get my mom. I don't really have a price limit on her, but I know I'm getting her a candle and a snowglobe. I'm just not sure what else to get her! (link)
Simple the ones who like make up and or glitter get things of body glitter for the one who likes monkies,tinkerbell and frogs get her some frog,monkey and tinkerbell stickers. and for the sporty one hair elsastics. Then get a book for your other friend. Everything but the book can be bought at the dollar store.


15/f if that helps..
The other day I was changing because I had just gotten out of the shower. My best friend (a guy) was coming over. I was just in my bra & underwear when he got to my house. My mom let him go to my room, because there hasn't been anything going on with us in the past, so she's not concerned. Well, he opened the door and saw me in just my undergarments. It's really not a big deal. but he's acting all weird about it like "hehehe i saw your underwear" and won't let it go. he didn't even apologize when he saw me he just like stared for a minute. SO how can I get him back to acting normal?!?!?! He is being such a jerk and won't cut it out.
If anybody has any advice as to get him to stop acting to stupid please, do tell!!!
thanks (link)
Honey guys deal with things in different ways some pretend it didn't happen, others tell their friends and others tease you about it. He is probably dealing with it in his own way because he was embarassed about it. Either that or he likes you. Maybe even both. If he was treating you differently before this happened I say he has a crush on you. It happens to alot of friends of the opposite sex. By the way try talking to him about how uncomfortable you feel about him teasing you about it. DON'T try to get even with him like some people say.


Hey well me and my best guy friend have been friends for as long as i can remember. everyone says he likes me. when we went swimming (beware- this is cheesy) he was like "go deeper into the lake so i can save you". its really corny but my friends are all "he was using that as an excuse to hug you" and crap like that. my friends also think he took me to the lake as a 'date' but he didn't call it that to me. he was like all over me while swimming as well... i'm not sure what this guy wants or what's going on. i didn't even really think much of it until my friends made a big deal about it. anybody have any thoughts?

thanks (link)
Wait to see what happens next. He might like you though.


Well I dont know what has been wrong with me latly! I am just not as happy as I use to be and like I am lonly and I have noone to talk to.... I dont know what I should do... (link)
I feel tthe same way! I think it might just be your hormones acting up. If you want someone to talk to just e mail at ebashley2000@yahoo.com


Ok,i have this friend Tina. I know tina id going to become friends with my other friend. I do not want them to be friends but i no they are going to become really close. Tina always puts me in the shadow and she gets all the attension. How can i except that Tina and my friend are going to be come close..and not care? Not feel sad and left out inside? Not feel missing and alone? How can i just be happy with everyone? please help (link)
Simple join in with them like if they are going to the mall then ask if you can come to if you join in then you won't feel left out. Mind you I'm not saying butt into private conversations but you get the idea. If that doesn't work talk to your friend about how you feel she probably doesn't know she's doing it. I would do the second thing first if I were you. would love feed back.


Ugh. My best friend kelly thinks she's a really good singer. The problem is... she sux! She's also going to be in the talent show and perform a song. When she does, she's gonna be sooo emmbarrased aftwerwards! Everyone's gonna make fum of her. I don't know what to do, or how to break it to her!! Should I just let her be TOTALLY embarrased? Help!! Please!! (link)
Ok this may sound harsh but tell her and if she doesn't listen there isn't much you can do so if it comes to that then let her see for herself. Hope I helped please rate.


how can i be more than friends with a guy who i think only likes me as a friend? (link)
you can't. He could be seeing someone else or just might not be comfortable with you as more as a friend.


i cant seem to ever be abt to devide my time to spend with my best friend and my boyfriend....if i dont spend all my time with my boyfriend he gets realy bitchy at me.... and my friend is the same shes bitching that i dont do something with her every night.... it feels like both of them are trying to isolate me from one another and others i dont know what to do or what to say???????? (link)
Get some thime to yourself and no offence but your boyfrien sounds like a total jerk if he won't let you spend time with others and your friend sounds the same way.Hope this doesn't hurt you.If it does let me know.


okay so my 2 ex best friends are comming to my house...and 2 of my other best friends house's to T.P. us BADLY!!! i know this for a fact because ive got resources...ANYWAYS...me and my 2 friends who are supposedly getting t.p.ed too are gonna call the cops on them...they have put us through so much crap the past few weeks so this is just our lil pay back!! do you think its to much? if you think that maybe it IS beecause i might want them to be friends with me again one day...trust me thats NOT gonna happen!!
-x0x- (link)
It depends on their age and if the cops wuold belive you so you could call the cops if they are old enough to be charged or you could just wait for them to show up and bust them your choice.


I am 14 (soon to be 15 in march)
well I have a stupid crush. Its not that the guy is stupid its just me having a crush. Feeling this way is of no use to me. I mean I was perfectly fine walking by a hot guy and thinking now he is "FINE" but when I get around my crush I get this weird tingling thing in my stomach and feeling kinda warm in my face. The weirdest thing is when ever I am around him I feel pretty. Stupid I know. I just want to be normal again. Its not like I act silly with Alex its just that I don't want to have any crushes. Crushes are stupid in my case...they never work out.
The problem is I know how to give myself advice and its some pretty good stuff its just that my crush's acts of kindness toward me makes the feeling in the pit my stomach increase somehow...I just want to be normal and to have a clear mind. (link)
He could have the same feelings as you and belive me I used to feel the same way about crushes I thought they were useless but the fact is they arn't it helps build up courage. Oh and I know what you are going through I have had 10 crushes and I'm in grade8. None of the crushes ever worked out because 9 of them I didn't have the courage to ask out and the tenth one I asked out and after a month he showed his true colors and turned out to be a total jerk.


My bestfriend and I... dont really get along... we can't be around eachother for more then 10 minutes or we'll start fighting.. n i have 2 other bestfriends (all four of us are bestfriends lol) and they think it gets annoying but me and my friend are trying to work it out but we cant.. n i just wanna kno if u think this is a good friendship.. so tell me wat u think.. thanx a bunch! (link)
To tell you the truth no I don't think so if you can't stand being around eachother for more then ten minutes.


SORRY ITS LONG

There's this guy I've known for a really long time. We were best friends when we were babies, toddlers, all the way up to second grade. He came to my house every day and we were almost inseperable. But in second grade he moved away. Not far away, just the other side of town. But I didn't get to see him as much because we didn't really hang out as much at school as we did at home. And then summer came, and I didn't see him at all. So comes third grade...and we just....aren't talking. We didn't fight, nothing happened, we just seemed...apart. Since then I haven't talked to him much even though the memories I have of him are really strong and really wonderful.
My question is....why did he forget about me? And since we're apart, how can I become his friend again? And why hasn't he thought about becoming my friend again, after all the good times? (link)
He might not have forgotten about you he just might not be interested in the same things that he used to be and he might think that you are. Time can change people alot.


i have a friend that gets mad so easily..one day he called me and said he was gonna work on his car, and i said that was fine. he gets online and says hey, and i was like hey then he said he had to go and puts up an away message. well, i had to tell him something so i was like "wait.." and he goes, "i told i had to work on my car why are you still talking?" and i said "i just wanted to ask you something" and he goes "well thats too bad" then he left again..and he came back and apologized and told me he was so sorry..and he has this big problem with being all mad and stuff and he just gets like that. He said i was the only one that could help him get out of it..what do i do? im so lost:( (link)
Talk to him and ask for more detail on what's eating him befor you agree to help him because for all you know maybe you can't help him but he just thinks you can.


ok, about a week or two ago i was at my friends birthday party. there was about 15 or so people there. we were all in her basement dancing and eating ext. her parents keep all the food on shelves down there and their alcohol too. well a few people decided to put some rum in a few of the soda cans. we hadnt known her parents marked those bottles. we all got busted at about 3 am ish. as soon as i found out her parents knew and they were going to tell our parents i was so upset. i didnt even have any. my parents were talking to me about it because they wanted to know what was going on. i told them that it was all lauras fault and she was drinking alot. it really wasnt but i was very very mad at her because i thought she was going to go out with the guy i like because he likes her and i thought she might like him too. now my parents hate her and im not ever allowed to see her again because they think shes a "bad influence" on me. how do i get my parents to forgive laura and like her again and let me be friends with her again??
(link)
Tell them you lied and as for you doing it to get revenge wrong way to go talk to your friend about it think of how you would feel if she had done that to you.


well there is this boy in my class lets name him john and for some odd reason he always goes out with everyones best friends and he just went out w/ my bff so im next in line. The only problem is that every1 just went out with him because they knew of wut he was doing which they thought was so retarded but i actually do like him and if my friends no i do they'll prob. laugh so what do i do (link)
If you like him go out with him if your friends laugh (pardon the cliche) then there not your friends because if they laugh it means they can't respect your feelings for him.


Sorry about the length..and I hope this makes sense.. Okay, i have this friend..lets call her C...anyways, she will be really rude to me at school and it gets really annoying because i don't do anything at all so I ignore her or something. But then at home on IM she's like "I never say anything mean to you! Or im always just kidding! You are always so mean to me!" and she like doesn't get that i hardly ever do anything to her at all! Then she'll be like well you were calling me a bitch and a slut all day (which is NOT true, i don't!) but she will constently bother me about this guy i like and make fun of us when im with him and stuff and say she never did anything! It's soo annoying!!! what should i do to get it through her head???? thanks for any help! (link)
Sorry to say but it doesn't sound like this person is a very good friend so get rid of her if you don't this could go on for months I should know I had this happen to me.


I've been friends with my best friend Kristen, for about a year or two. Recently I got with this guy, and him and I got into a conversation the other day about what we would give up for each other. I then realized, that I would give up my best friend Kristen, for this guy. Does that mean that I'm an awful friend? The way I look at it, it seems that my boyfriend has replaced my old best friend.. and he is now not only my boyfriend, but my best friend as well, which is why I feel I could give her up for him. Let me know. &heart; (link)
No you are not an awful friend! You are just so in love with this guy. He hasn't even taken the place of your friend friends and boyfriends are in two different catigories the reason you feel this way is probably because the time you used to spend with your friend is now time you spend with your boyfriend. To solve this cut down a bit on the boyfriend time and spend some time with your friend. Talk to your boyfriend about this first. If he's a good guy he will understand. I hope I helped.


I have a best friend.. let's call him.. Bob.. Bob has been my best friend since even.. kindergarden. We haven't every been really close though because he's always wanted to fit in with the "in" crowd. He's changed himself from how I used to know him.. and it kills me inside knowing that he wouldn't even think about going out with me. It's funny though.. because he's always hanging around with me, and he acts really cool, and like himself when no one else is around, like if we're talking on AIm. Then when we get into class.. he's this rude, abnoxious, wannabe.. do I just forget him? *sigh* I rate answers. (link)
No don't forget him.(not yet) Tell him how you feel first talk to him. You have been close for a long time and it sounds like you would be there for him when and if his new friends drop him so talk to him. Or you could support his new lifestyle it's really up to you. PS please send feedback.
