okay...this may seem strange but it feels like all my friends are turning on me...I had my 13th birthday party on sunday and invited 20 of my clostest firends to my house and well sunday came and only 12 showed up...these ppl i know have to be my rly clostest firends but here are the reasons for why most of them couldnt come

Me: hey maria are you coming to my party on sunday
Maria: no sorry i cant because im grounded
Me: oh so you arent going to Karissas the day befroe?
Maria: oh well i can go to that one and that one only

If you think that ones bad listen to these...

Chelsey: gotta do my homework! i have WAY to much homework

Lindsay: Sorry Sam my mom wont let me cause i didnt do all my homework yet

Karissa: my mom wont let me cause i didnt do my homework yet

Rachel F: i cant because i have too much homework

SPECIAL NOTE: all the ppl above cept maria slept over karissas house after her party and the best thing is WE DIDNT HAVE ANY HOMEWORK!!!

please help me ill rate 5's unless the advice is mean

sounds like you are there when the need a friend but when you need them they are off "doing homework". now, i know that this will be hard but it would be better than not knowing whats going on - you have to confront them. or one of them atleast. be sure to start the conversation off in a nice,calm tone. you don't want them to think you are accusing them or are just trying to get in a fight with them. i hope everything works out well.

My mum told me today that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She will have to have an operation and go through radiotherapy. I'm so worried- she will have to be in hospital for 4 days then go once every day. I'd be thankful for any information about the symtoms of radiotherapy and cancer, ways to make her feel better about it and any other things that would be useful. Thank you.

I looked around for a couple of websites that may give you some more information!

I hope your mom is ok! Goodluck and God bless!

Hey, can anyone give me symptoms of strep throat? I think I might have it. My throat has been hurting really bad the past 3 days, my nose has been stuffed up, my head hurts, and my stomach hurts...ick. Thanks a bunch!

I just got over that at christmas! Ok your throat will be a very bright red and you may have pustules on the back of your throat which you can see if you open your mouth say ahhhh and look with a flashlight.You will also have a fever ever 101. When you go to a doctor they will give you a strep throat test, this is where they swab the back of your throat and test it for Group A Streptococci. If you have it they will most likely prescribe pennicillian that you must take for 5-10 days. Here is a website that will provide you with alot more info! http://health.yahoo.com/news/44371
Hope ya feel better!

I'm like 20 pounds overweight and I REALLY need to loose the 20lbs. Even my mom calls me fat! I really am going to go anorexic if I dont find an easy way to loose the weight! Please help me. I dont wanna go to desperate measures, but I just don't want my mom to call me fat, and I know I want to be the right wait. I'd be much happier!
DO you have any easy ways of loosing 20lbs.?

you are beautiful however you look. but it is important to stay healthy so all you have to do is cut your portions. no starving yourself! thats not what it's all about. keep your mindset on the healthiness not beauty...beauty is overrated. try eating a balenced meal like this
breakfast-
one serving of special k with lowfat milk
one serving of fruit
one glass of water
lunch-
a main course with protein
fruit as dessert
water
1-2 sides
dinner-
a main course with protein
1-2 sides
water
a small treat to reward yourself for following the plan! :)
Hope i helped!

I want to try out for my highschools cheerleading squad.. Ive cheered b4 but i heard that high school tryout are harder. if u tried out for you high schools cheerleading squad, what did you have to do?

I haven't tried out yet, but I did a little research! On most squads tumbling is either mandatory or really good for your score. You have to do a leat one dance, chant, and cheer. On some squads you have to take a cheerleading safety quiz. check out www.about.cheerleading.com

Hiya,
I like 'vintage' and ethnic-y (peasant, gypsy) clothes and I love having unique stuff...but I'm not sure exactly what to wear. I love all those things like tiered skirts and really, really long necklaces with cool beads but what else is there that would go with a 'vintage' kind of look? This is for every day wear. Thanks!

You are definately a boho babe! You have probably heard that before it a specific style and from what I see, you are definately boho! Try going to www.alloy.com then click shop,then click the drop down that says style. Then click boho. They have alot of boho inspired clothing. It is great for everyday wear! Hope I helped ya outa little. Happy Shopping!

OK. I'm allergic to fake earings and it really sucks. I can't get those earings with fake silver that only cost a dollar anymore. Is there any way I can were fake earrings(not clip-ons) with getting a rash on my ear?

thanx

Most likely it is the nickel in the earring that you are allergic to. lol, i am too! I find it best to not buy those really really cheap 50 pairs in a box earrings (bad expierience,haha)
I usually buy the nickel-free earrings. Sensitive solutions are also pretty good. They packages the earrings come in usually say nickel free or for sensitive ears. Hope you can find a solution. For cute earrings go to www.fredflare.com They're awesome!

i’m asian, and my eyes are on the small side and i don’t have a double eyelid. what kind of eye makeup do you suggest? most fashion magazines just ignore asian eyes when dealing w/ eye makeup which is kind of annoying. also, i read ‘bobbi brown and teenage beauty’, which has a section that deals w/ asian beauty, but bobbi brown just suggested skin-tone eye makeup (tan, beige). colors like that are low-key and good for everyday wear i guess, but what if i want kind of a punk-rockish look? with dark makeup? and what if i want to wear (dark) exotic colors like violet and turquoise? serious answers please.

I like your attitude! I was reading up on it and almost every site said first the key was dark eyeliner! That will define your eyes. To make them appear bigger line your bottom lid with white eyeliner. Maybe you could wear your eyeshadow on and out beside your eye. Don't go crazy but kind of wisp the eyeshadow out just a little farther than usual. Hope I helped! goodluck.

I have really curly hair that I used to chemically straighten a few years back, before it damaged my hair. It's now grown out curly again, but I can't wear it that way because it won't lay in defined curls and it always frizzes in the back. I straighten it with a ceramic iron that I bought through my hairstylist, and I love how it looks when it's straight!

What I wanted to ask was, what hairstyles can I try? I usually either wear it down, or some up and some down, or in a ponytail. Are there any other cute styles I could try? Btw, I don't have bangs, if that gives you any other ideas.

I love new hairstyles and a place where I go to find tons of cute hairstyles is, like, this like, place www.seventeen.com
(they also have alot of makeup tips and more)
Here are a couple of links: http://www.seventeen.com/beauty/hairguide/0,,,00.html

Whenever I get money I immediatly spend it!! I want to save it for something big. I don't want to give it to my parents to hold onto either.

1. How can I save it?

2. Are there any good ways to make some moeny?

3. What do I do when I go to the mall? How much do you think I should bring about??

I to have that problem and I find it much easier for money I don't want to spend out of my face..lol. So as an answer to your first question, I would either one, set up a savings account at the bank or two, keep two jars, one for spending money and another for saving money.

2. There are TONS of ways to make money, the hard thing is finding them. If you are like me and not old enough to get a job at a store, you could babysit. For this you must be very responcible. You can also do yardwork or help around peoples houses. If you can't do either of these, ask your parents if there is anything extra to do to make so more moo-la!

3.I have a problem of bringing ALL my money to the mall but thats not very practical so seeing as most things are expensive at the mall I would bring $30. It is a reasonable amount of money. If you feel as if you will spend all of it, bring less. This also depends if you go to the mall almost every weekend. :) If that is so, try to bring $20 or less and limit your purchases.

Hope I helped and happy spending!

Ok hi my name is ashlee and im 13 years old. Anyways I really would like to wear makeup and stuff like that but i have a little acne. Its going away now because I just started using my acne medication right. Bad on my part I know. Wouldnt it look bad if there was like little bumps in the makeup though? What is the best foundation or powder that wont cause you to break out? Also, I've noticed alot of people having Coach bags and Gucci bags and dont they cost alot of money? Is there like some place where they dont cost alot that I dont know about? Thanks. Also I would like an honest opinion. I will rate high if I feel that you have tried.

Just recently i went to wally world (FYI my weird word for wal-mart,lol) and saw this concealer that actually helps get rid of acne so maybe if you use that and your medication it might help conceal and fade your acne(Clean and Clear Stick price:$3-4. As for powder try to get that absorbs oil and then at the when you get home or whatever you can wash your face and exfoliate your skin (exfoliating totally does help believe me!!!) Now about the purses! Here we have alot of Louis Vuitton and Coach going on. Now I got my bag for about 35.00(but im perty sure its a knockoff.) You can also check out ebay which has tons of those kinds of bags! Hope I helped! Love Ya!
