Dear Carol

My best friends and I have sleepovers almost every weekend. It’s always the same—popcorn and a scary movie. It’s getting a little boring. How do you suggest we spice up our weekends?


 
Dear Sleepy,
Give each other makeovers, take magazine quizzes, bake cupcakes, make a collage, write a song, draw portraits of each other, interview each other on video, put together a scrapbook, tell ghost stories, look for constellations from the backyard, have a fashion show, do a 500-piece puzzle, play Scrabble, make pizza from scratch, plan a party, dance to new music, or invite some other pals over. Just not all on the same night!

there's this kid who annoyes me all the time. he keeps bugging me that i like this kid even tho i dont. i've told him to stop it twice, but he keeps doing it. i started being kinda mean to him since he said he would stop tho he didnt and he said "y r u being so mean to me". i wanted 2 say "cuz u nvr do wat u say u'd do". what should i do?? it's been going on for about 2 weeks ot so but it just started bugging me like 3 days ago.




Hey girl!

It sounds to me that this guy actually likes you cuz annoying you is the only way he can get your attention. Just talk to him nicely and maturely and tell him how you feel.

Thanks for the link (helped a lot)
I have another ques..
ok so i NEED to lose altleast 10-13 pounds by the end of december bcuz there is dance for my skool in January(dont kno which day) and today i was looking at dresses and i loved them ALL but the problem is they dont have any in my size. so I planned out my diet but i dont wat kind of workouts i should do that are very affective?




Hey girl!

Because you want to lose a lot of weight, I think the best advice I can give you is to go to a nutritionist or personal trainer to help you find a workout plan for u. Also talk to your parents maybe they can help too.

I have 2 problems.
1) There's this guy that bugs me all the time. Like poking, sort of kicking, and other things. What's up with that?
2) The other one is that, I like this guy and he is my friend. I think he kind of likes me too because we talk about everything, and mess around. What do you think????

GuitarGurl48 on 9/19/2008 8:56:48 PM

MODDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!
ok. i went to the fair with my bff and she shows animals but then one of her older brother's friends was introduced to me and now i reallllllllly like him. but he barely knows me. my friend told me he's a computer wiz and is on it alot even though he is a farmer and i want his e mail. BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM i'm in the 8th grade and he is already on his second year of high school. but every time my bff tells me stuff about him (she knows i like him)it kind of upsets me because today she told me he is always walking around with other girls.and then i almost cry or get really angry.but i can't wait til i'm older to go out with him (and he is extra nice to me whenever we talk) but i think he only sees me as a child. (i'm really mature for my age....i'm told all the time) but i really want him to see me a little more serious! but i realllllllllllly like him! HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pepsi1252 on 9/19/2008 9:15:25 PM

Mod ok so there's this guy who I like and he's really cute. His assigned seat is next to mine in art and he looks at whatever I'm drawing, and today he and the other guy were asking me whose drawing I liked better. do you think he likes me? and what should I say to hint that I like him?

Furler Fan on 9/19/2008 9:28:08 PM

The problem is that i have blue eyes, so everybody says to wear brown eye makeup, cause it will compliment my eyes. So what colour eyeliner can I wear thats still bright?

I'm bi, and currently like this girl in my grade. She's completely the opposite of me: popular, witty, comfortable with herself. I get so tongue-tied around her. I know she's bi too, so she wouldn't get freaked out if she knew I like her, but I'm still so panicky all the time. What should I do?

and we're all too small to talk to god on 9/19/2008 9:28:30 PM

i don't have homecoming this year because i go to a lame school that is 7-9. and i'm in 9th.




anyways.

*********************MOD!!!********************************


ok. so i like this guy. and my friend said that he likes her when she was filling me in b/c i was gone over the past year at a different school in a diff state.

and, like, i was trying to make eye contact, but he was staring at the desk caddy corner him. (i sit next to him, so the desk across from me...our desks are set up like 4 in a square shape).


could this mean he likes me?

and also, he and his friend were moving to another table, b/c they were jokingly trying to get another one of their friends to not sit where they wanted the first friend to sit (he sits next to me, remember)..and anyways, he was like 'come on, emily, let's move over there.'...

could that mean he likes me,
or is he just being nice b/c i'm extremely shy and i don't talk. ever. around him?

and when ppl say that i hardly talk, he's like 'no. emily's just a diligent worker and you're distracting her'.


idk.! i really am not sure.!!!
and he always asks me questions about the work and i ask him questions and he looks at my paper for the hw assignment.

and idk.

What color is discharge?




vaginal fluid that is produced by your hormones.  It isn't your actual period, but it is part of the cycle.  It can vary in color but shouldn't cause symptoms of itching or burning.  If there is itching or burning it might indicate that there is an infection.

kittycat102,
i agree with Brianna. my grandma told me that when she was younger, a boy threw rocks at her and when they were in high school, he said he liked her and she said " do you remember when you threw rocks at me when i was younger, cause i do "

~iheartcharlie~ on 9/20/2008 3:47:47 PM

I wish that I could have a sleepover with my BFFs every weekend... But I have a lot of good friends-I don't really have a BFF. I have a friend that considers ME her BFF, but I just can't really consider her mine... She gets sorta annoying sometimes!

Maybe, it kinda sounds like it, but it's hard to be sure.

My name's Emily too, and I'm also quiet sometimes. But not really with my friends who I know kind of well, because I know I can't really mess up what I say as badly as with someone I'm not as close with. Idk if that makes sense lol.

ok so my cousin HATES ppl who copy other ppl so shes lost a lot of friends cause some of her friends copy some things she does(cloth,hair style/color,hobby.ect.) my cousin is rlly cool has a great since of style and does a lot of fun things..well lik a couple months ago she started doing piano and shes rlly good...i asked her 2 teach me something and she just said its 2 much work and she didnt sound excited when she tried 2 teach me..so i asked my mom if she could get me signed up 4 piano and she said yes and when i told me cousin she was sorta lik "wow thats cool" and didnt say anything else..and the last time i was at her house i over heard her tlking 2 her friend and she said "Piano is my thing..u can lik do another instrument! i hate it when ppl want 2 copy me!" i mean im not trying 2 copy her i just want 2 try it out! should i not do piano for her sake or do it?




Hey girl!

Don't quit piano just because your cousin is being immature. There are plenty of people who play piano so she is not that special. So keep on playing and ignore your cousin.

moosesrockj on 9/20/2008 6:48:11 PM

Do some Makeovers!!!!!! I always do that = the usuall , popcorn etc. we also gossip BIG TIME but no rumors and what is said in the room stays in the roomm. Also occassionally with my bf4l we play truth or dare... or in our case Truth or TRUTH. Thats when you pick truth #1 (you can say no to the question) or truth # 2 (you HAVE to answer the question no matter what!) We always answer no matter what. So I hope that helps!!!

Hey Mod & Girls,
I have this friend, and she is kinda self absorbed, idk what to do, cause when ever I just mention one thing about my life, she changes the subject on her self. Adn I'm constantly giving her advice, and I don't think she would do the same for me, but she's fun, and usualy nice.
How should I talk to her?

Hi ^^ Before I start, I would just like to say how much I, and I'm sure, many others, appreciate you guys ^^

Okay, now for the question. There's this girl down my street, and since I don't go to my neighborhood school, I never really met her. But we're the same grade, and same age. So the other day, when we finally met, we just started hanging out. But my dad freaked out just because we rode a scooter down the street sidewalk; not even leaving our neighborhood street. Now everytime she comes over, he yells at her to go away, and I feel horrible!

Please help Frown

My sister and I have fun together all of the time, but sometimes she makes me mad and we fight.

Could you help me to sort this out when we fight?

spottedleaf on 9/21/2008 4:58:23 PM

cheergurl4444 - Try a scary/comedy movie! Like Scary Movie or something along those lines. And if you are really bored and want to jazz it up a bit, try making a quiz throughout the movie and quizzing your friend on it at the end (and she can do the same for you)!

And for all of you girls out there who just love their popcorn during their sleepover/movie nights, try coming up with 3 different popcorn combos! My fave is shredded cheese and ranch mixed in. YUM! It's fun to try out all the differnt things you and your bud cam come up with! (Just don't make too much, because if it turns out really bad you'll have to throw it away!)

Lexy5 on 9/21/2008 6:02:48 PM

MoD-
Ok, um I have a question.
A couple days ago at school I was in the hallway and my crush and his friend were walking in front of me. I was kinda staring at him, just becasuse, well, hes really cute. I think he felt I was looking at him, so he turned around--and just kinda looked. I think he smiled a little--but I'm not sure! I smiled at him though! Then a minute later he looked back again! Could this be sort of a clue that he might like me, or is he just creeped out now??
plz help,
thank you
