I want a new look for my room on a LOOWWWW budget. I'm 14/f and My walls are white. My carpet is like pink dots and blue dots and white dots... and I have a pegboard border around my room. I just want a new look!

Draw frames on one wall in different sizes and then attach photos or whatever you can come up with inside the frames. Maybe a handprint! Saw it on TV on one of these home make-overs and I think it was great!!!
Good luck! x

hey umm lol me and my best friend has been friends since 5th grade..and now were going into 8th..we live very close where we can walk to each others houses..well my parents are very stritct when it comes to drinking and stuff..well i usally went to her house atleast5 times a week..well when i stayed a night one night we drank and got drunk..well any ways...her dad found out and called and told my dad..and no i cant go over there at all! and were BEST friends..i mean i stayed a night with her once this summer..just bc it was my b-day..and i cant go over there at all..ive tried telling them EVERYTHING that i wount do it again..what can i do to make them realize i wont drink again????


I RATE TOP

Your parents wont trust you not to drink again because you will. However they should be happy that you got drunk with your best friend in her house rather than with maybe some guys in their house... And another good thing (from your parents point of view) is that your friends dad told your dad so they know they can trust him and therefor they should let you see your best friend!!!!!
They have to let you make mistakes and then prove you wont do the same mistake again otherwise they will never know.
Good luck! This should work... ;-) x

Advice needed ASAP!!!!!!!!!
I have recently moved to a smaller place and was not able to take my dog(pitbull)with me so she is now staying with a relative. They also have a dog(pitbullX) which my dog has socialised with for most of her life and they have gotten along fine UNTIL today............ I went for a visit (which I do on A daily basis) and next thing I know they are FIGHTING!!!!! and i dont mean play fighting. There was alot of blood and alot of tears (from me)... and now I am wondering WHAT TO DO???? My relatives aren't happy IM NOT HAPPY and certainly I feel the dogs wouldn't be very happy.I am thinking of buying a muzzle????? but am just not sure.. Does any1 think now that she has had the 'taste for blood' that she will be a vicious dog??? She is usually a lovely dog (until 2day) and now I am having trust issues. My last option will be to put her down :( as I will not be moving for a while... Any advice would be helpful as atm they are tied up and THEY ARE NOT HAPPY. (Oh and the dogs arent SERIOUSLY injured in case you wondering just lots of little cuts and scratches which are being tended to)

Dogs fight and hurt eachother no matter what, when it comes to these kind of dogs it can become a life and death matter as we sadly experienced.
We had 2 Rottweilers and 2 mix breed small hunting dogs and one of the hunting dogs had a fight with one of the rottweilers and the rottweiler accidently killed him. However he had never hurt another dog before that and not after so it was a heat of the moment thing, two dogs fighting about who's the boss and the smaller one not giving up when he should. If we would have been there we would have stopped the fight of course but we were both at work and the dogs in their pen.
This sounds to me like your relatives dog is showing your dog who lived there first and who's the boss and your dog might want to fight for that right... It doesn't matter that they known eachother for all their life. You might have to separate them but I beleive she will not be to any harm to any other dogs.
To be on the safe side you might want to contact an organisation that knows more, try http://www.cockerspanielrage.org.uk/ or http://www.petplanet.co.uk/pethealth.asp
You can find lots of information on the internet but also talk to your local vet.
Good luck!!! x

Hey...I was wondering if I was having normal period pain or not. I have a slight fever, not very high. And I'm having pains in my stomach (everywhere not just in the lower part) and some back pain. I'm getting headaches and after I eat I feel like I'm about to throw up. Plus I'm suffering from a loss of appitite. I should have started by now but i'm a little late. Is this normal?

Everyones period pains are different some get them worse.. If it is different from previous months you might want to check it out.
If you are sexually active there are contraception pills that can help reducing period pains.
Good luck! x

I have a friend but the thing is i don't like her as a friend any more because she is very mean and controling. she still thinks we're friends even though i haven't talked to her in months. she called me and asked me to go to her birthday party how do i tell her that i don't want to go without hurting her feelings? also it is a sleep over thing and i said i could sleep over because of something the next day which is true but she still wants me to go for a few hours the first day! please help i don't want to hurt her feelings!!

Sometimes it hurts more if you don't say anything... If you wait too long and she finds out maybe from someone else she is going to be more hurt. Just tell her in a forward honest way, she might still be hurt but as I said not to tell hurts more!!
Good luck! x

Okay I want a boyfriend and stuff and be able to makeout and stuff with him. But I have heard from some people that a couple guys havn't asked me out because they think I won't do anything with them. So my question is how do I let them know that I will and want to without acting like a slut. Thanks in advance!! And if your rude then I will rate you low or not at all!!

If that is the reason why the guys are not asking you out those guys is not worth it...
Do you fancy someone? If you do YOU should ask him out.
No one ever asked me out when I was in school and when I went to school discos I was never asked to dance so I started asking myself and it worked! Years after finishing school I met some guys from my class and they then admitted that they always liked me it was just the other girls talking bad about me and as I wasn't in "their group". I was also a bit of a "tom-boy" not very girly girly if you know what I mean.
If you want to specify what kind of girl you are maybe I can help you more!!
Good luck! x

okay heres the downlow. Whenever my boyfriend is around girls he always flirts with them, even if i'm right there. then when i talk to him about he'll either say i never did that or oh i'm sorry i won't do it again, but he never changes! I don't know what i should do. Part of me wants to break up with him and another part of me doesn't! So what should i do!!??

I'm 13,Female

When someone flirts with everyone it normally means that he/she is being insecure and looking for attention. It doesn't have to mean that he's not in love with you...
However if it makes you feel insecure and the way he's doing it is disrespectful towards you you should tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine.
I've been there and I accepted it for too long... Don't let that happen to you. You deserve better!
Good luck! x

Ok..I really really like this guy soo much, but we've only hung out 4 times, one all night..and we talk online & on the phone alot..but I don't KNOW him KNOW him..like i dont know how too explain it.. He's cute, SOO SWEET, and funny, well, he's perfect for me...and he tells me he loves me so much and everything. Today he said if we were older he'd ask me too marry him, which scared me..and now I just feel a LITTLE weird..bc I love him, but I don't know him well enough to marry him. But I really do feel he cares about me...but another thing is that he's older than me...and he's had sex, and I haven't and he walsy says "baby you don't know what your missing.." and "i wanna make this sumer one you won't forget ;)" and i'm thinking that he wants me too have sex with him..but he's told me that he doesn't want too push me into it, but he does it slightly...I don't know..

Any advice???

Lots of love & noise

My only adice is do what YOU want and what YOU feel like. If you hesitate at all don't do it.
If he scares you and you don't feel safe with him don't be alone with him until you know if you can trust him or not.
Good luck! x

You see.. i got back on weight watchers this week because my school's starting soon (too soon) and i want to slim down so I'm not the biggest girl in my class anymore. What are some fast pace exercises i can do (websites) or what are some tips. The weight watchers is working, slowly, but i want to speed up the process.

Thanx

Join a gym where they have instructors or personal trainers that can motivate you and keep you going! If you can't afford to join a gym make sure you find an exercise that you enjoy otherwise you're gonna find it hard to motivate yourself. ANY exercise is good but make sure you alternate for best result. For example go for fast walks one week and go swimming the next.

Good luck!!! x

Does your child have to be a certain age to let them stay home alone for about 2-3 days? Just wondering because me and my husband's 25th year anniversary is comming up and I want to get out of town for a few days just the two of us. I was wondering if it is legal for me to allow my 14 year old to stay home alone for a few nights.

Firstly, would you trust your child to be home alone for a few nights without you being worried sick when you are supposed to have a good time?!

If this is your 14 year old saying he or she will be fine on his/her own I would definately not trust him/her. He/she should stay with a friend or a relative when you are away having a good time.

And by the way, Happy Anniversary!!

When I would sit in the tub for like 30-60 minutes, I would notice that the water would get gritty and then I would rub my skin and it would come off!!!!!! Then there was a lot of DIRT or something on the sides or the tub when I got out, is this normal!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Thanks in advance for helping me (IF YOU DECIDE TO BE RUDE THEN I WON'T EVEN RATE YOU!!!!)

Firstly, do you bath very seldom or do you get very dirty during the day (maybe from work/school/traffic)? If not then it sounds to me like it is old skin coming off. The same thing happens when you sit in a sauna and rub your skin.

You could either take a quick shower before you bath (as we do in Sweden cause we don't like lying in our own dirty water) or maybe your bath water is too hot.

Good luck and let us know how you get on!
