the thing is that looking good doesnt mean you have to spend a million dollars! I would probably suggest inviting her over and like if you were willing to, let her borrow some of your clothes. You could do her hair and/ or makeup.....just a suggestion.
(maybe you dont have to "fix" her up if you just got ur "friends" to stop teasing her)

First of all, your friends are pretty mean to do that. Its rude and some people are on a budget! Anyway, I think it's perfectly fine to go to a resale shop if your on a fight budget and want cute clothes. Probably not the Good Will, but a store with Teen Clothes. I know in Ohio there is a place called Plato's Closet that sells Abercrombie shirts for 6 dollers!! Just wash them and, hey! There ya go! <3 Steph

If your friends are low enough to make fun of someone because of what they wear than who cares about them? That is totally immature. Its an age thing..they will get over it. As for you trying to help her look stylish, i suggest maybe takin a trip to a vintage store. Those are a mega trend right now and you can get a ton of great clothes for cheap. You can even help her spice up her old clothing.

You could give her some of yours.

Or not.

There was a site, but I forgot the link, so use that. People that make their own clothes are cool. But the normal kids are cool, too. :)

Just, never-ever let her barrow your clothes. You shouldn't share toothbrushes, clothes, shoes, brushes, or anything of that sort with ANYONE, because that other person might have an illness or disease that can be contagious.

Be safe. Always.

Look on like the clearance racks and stuff. And tel your mom your problem maybe she'll be able to pitch in a few dollars. Also if you have ribbon, a pair of sisors, a sewing machine, rinestones, and fabric glue..then you can just use your imagination on clothes she's already got and come up with some really cute stuff. I know you'll be able to figure something out..you seem like a really great friend to want to help her out like that!

People shouldn't make fun of your friend just because she doesn't have a lot of clothes. You should try sticking up for her and compliment her on her clothes so she feels better. Try going to her house and putting different clothes together for her. Or you can always try making clothes also. Or if you want, you guys can share clothes. Or try having a garage sale, a car wash in your neighborhood, things like that. That'll make her feel so much better. And you seem like a great friend for trying to help her out! =D

You don't need to buy her new clothes, it doesn't mstter what she looks like on the outside. Try complimenting her clothes so she doesn't feel so bad. Just be a good friend.

FernGully answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 3:37 pm:
How about complementing her clothes when she isnt around. When she wears something that most people wouldnt consider 'stylish', then just start talking about how cool you think that is or how trendy it is. Make it seem like shes a trendsetter or at least just say positive things about her. If you hear someone making fun of her then simply tell them that their attitude is sickening and that you don't really want to around people who are so pathetic. Most likely, they are going to feel guilty.

People should start to realize that clothes dont make a person, nothing physical makes a person - its a persons ideas and thoughts and heart that make a person who they are. Value doesnt have a 'look'.

kuzo811 answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 3:32 pm:
Thas so mean making fun of someone because of how the dress and because there less fortunate than them. They are very shallow for that. You need to definetly stick up for her and stock by her side. Tell your friends dont be F***ing a**holes. Try finding a way to earn money and go to stores/shops where clothes arnt so expensive... I go buy clothes w/ her when there are sales and stuff because its just plain cheaper. You should talk to her about it before you go buy her stuff... You 2 should go shopping together and tell her its your treat and get her some stuff ( go on sales ) Try doing some kool stuff to her clothes like doing diffrent new designs to them you could ask someone who knows how to sew and stuff to help you. I WISH U SOME MUCH LUCK!

i think you should tell your friends that they are shallow and mean, because making fun of someone worse off that you is AWFUL! if you really want to get her some cool clothes w/o spending money you should go to a salvation army or thrift store.. you can find lots of cool things there if you look. oh and bravo to you for not being shallow.. the world needs more people like you :)

ballerina04 answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 3:15 pm:
well, first off, tell your friends to stop because it isn't cool that they're making fun of someone less fortunate than them. second of all, make sure she WANTS you to do this for her. she'd probably get offended if you just bought her new clothes without consulting her. maybe get a job babysitting or something together and use the funds to buy clothes.

Mackenzie answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 3:14 pm:
You should tell your friends to shut their mouths and open their eyes and try to accept her for the remarkable person she is. If for some reason you don't have enough balls to stick up for this girl, and you still feel like you want to jazz up her style, try thrift stores - you can find some cute chic things there. It's cheap and extremely easy to mix and match.

AdviceMistress answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 3:12 pm:
Well....you could always ask your parents for shopping money...and tell them what is going on and let them know that the girl at your school is being madde fun by the way she dresses!! Then get clothes that are stylin'!!
You could also do a lemonade stand and raise money!! After that you can go shopping or you could also look in many magizines that are at the supermarket where they show clothes for low prices!! Hope everything works out and let me know what happens!!
