  3. Chew...my sister is at it again. This time she has gone tooooo far. I actually caught her making out with my boyfriend. That's right, can you believe it......MY BOYFRIEND! As you all know this is not the first time, but she has never gone this far before. Last year i had to drop 2 bfs because of her. I just couldn't trust them around my sister. I guess i will have to write the guy thing off all together and probably become a nun. I know u have tried to help in the past, but do you or anyone else have any advice before i join a convent?

    AT THE END OF MY ROPE!

  8. Dear AT THE END OF THE ROPE,

    i don't blame you for wanting to be a nun. It's time you seriously talk to your sister. No more Mr. nice girl. You have got to confront her and tell her that its time to stop this childish game. If she still doesn't stop its time to consult a parent. Your sister has got to stop this. She seriously needs to be punished so that she can get the idea through her skull. Next, its time to consult your bf. Ask him why he did it. If he has no good reason, that relationship should be over. Dump him. He hurt you too. It's not all your sisters fault, its his too. And finally, try not to bring your bf home alot and don't tell your sister about him!!!!!!!! After all this, your due for a good relationship!

  10. Chewie bean...i cant tell my parents about my sister. I don't think they would approve of me having my bf over to the house. Everytime i confront my sister about this she just tells me my friends think she's cute and it's their fault not hers. If the nun thing doesn't work i can always join the army or peace corps...right?

  11. Chewie, i guess u might call me a trend setter. Every time i buy a new outfit some one in my class or group of friends goes out and buys the same or very similar outfit. I know i look good in my clothes and i like the idea of influencing others, but creating a bunch of copycat clones is not my idea of fun. Any advice??

  12. Dear ATEOMR..get real. Don't have bfs over to your house without your parents approval and don't let your little sister anywhere near your bfs.

  13. End of Roper,
    Be loving with your little sister. She's probably too young to know what's going on with these older boys. They are USING her. Your first responsiblity is to love her and help her. Without you she could be heading for big trouble.

    Sister first...boyfriends second.

  14. EVERYONE - GOING BEHIND YOUR PARENTS BACK NEVER, NEVER WORKS. I TRIED IT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND LEARNED MY LESSON THE HARD WAY. GROUNDED FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! IT WAS A LONG YEAR, BUT I AM A LOT SMARTER AND THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING STUPID NOW.

    THINK WITH YOUR HEAD, NOT YOUR EMOTIONS.

  15. i agree. my parents are there to help me make the best decision i can, both for now and for my future. get smart, keep your parents involved in your decisions.

    ps. no bfs in your house without your parents permission. spend some time talking with your sister instead of arguing with her.

  16. Chew i have the same problem as "Trendy". Every time i wear something new a few days later someone else has gone out and bought the same thing. I know people watch what i wear, but come on get a life. Why be a clone of someone else. What should i do Chewie???

  17. Dear Trendy,
    Did you know that coping is the highest compliment you can get? Try telling your friends to try a new style. Take them shopping for their own fashion. Tell them that just because you may look good in an outfit doesn't mean they should pick the same outfit. Try taking on a whole new style, something so awesomly weird, no one will dare copy you! The best thing to do is confront your friends and tell them in the nicest way possible that what they are doing is not kool! Good luck!

  18. ATEOMR,
    You never know what parents may or may not approve of...just sayin. Try to set your sister up with someone from your grade (she obviously just wants to be older than she really is. That's probably why she's doing this). Pretend to tke entice in a cuteish guy from your grade. She should soon think that she wants that guy cuz you talk about him. Then if she is cute enough, the guy might like your lil sis and presto! Your problems are solved! Try that and if it doesn't work i have a bit more drastic take. Good Luck!

  21. Chewie,
    I did what you suggested and told my friends how much it bothered me that they wear the same things i do everytime i wear something new. They said they don't know where to get fashion ideals except by following what i do. They think i am some kind of fashion expert i guess. Any suggestions on what to tell them as to where to get good ideas for young teens??

    Thanks, Cloned to Death

    ps: luv your Friday bones...they are all good.

  22. Chewie, i reluctantly loaned by best sweater to one of my best friends. When i got it back i eventually noticed that it had a small, but very noticable hole under the right arm near the elbow. I didn't think too much of it until my mom happened to notice it and went nuts. Now she says she's not going to buy me another thing since i can't take care of the nice things i already have. Problem is, i do take care of my stuff. I am really careful. What do i do?? Tell her it wasn't my fault or tell her i loaned it to my friend and she did it. She doesn't know about my friend borrowing it and am sure this will make her mad too. If I don't do anything my days of having nice clothes are a thing of the past. Help Chew!

  23. Dear Cloned to Death,

  24. Dear In A Pinch,
    Tell your mom the truth. She'll probably yell at you saying, "You shouldn't have loaned your nice sweater out!!!!!!!" Maybe you'll get grounded for a couple of days, but atleast you can have nice clothes cuz she knows te truth. Always go with the truth!

  25. Chewie, our friend (Cloned to Death) told us to contact you for fashion style tips. We are a little reluctant to since we have relied on her for all of our ideas for the last two years. I don't think she wants us to use her ideas any more.We are still good friends. Without her help what do we do now?

    Thank you in advance, Jenny, GG and Sarah

  26. Dear Jenny,GG, and Sarah,
    It's hard to get your own style going. It really makes a person look bad to clone. Clones aren't different, and being different rocks! It gives you a personality! I have great fashion tips! Ask me what you want to improve or change (hair,shirts,pants,shoes,acessories,whole outfit, ect. ) and I can give you many ideas to change your look!!!! So please, ask Chewie!!!! And please, back off just a little on Cloned to Death's ideas, for your guys' and her sake. Idk where to start because idk what you want to change like jeans to skirts, or pony tails to cutness? Give me an idea and I'll go from that!!! Thanks!

  27. Chewie....here goes! We first of all need help with affordable accessories. We can't just throw out all of our current things at one time. Accessories are a place we can begin to build our own styles. Where can we start with cheap accessories?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thx...Jenny, GG and Sarah

  28. Dear Jenny,GG, and Sarah,
    Try looking at places you'd least expect. Try places like Walmart, K-Mart, Dollar General, and TJ Max. Try to find sales at Clair's, and Aeries. Look for sales anywhere you can! 50% offs rock! Like look for summer accessories in the fall (that's when everything summer goes on sale)so you can wear them next summer. And shop for winter accessories in the summer! If you want to, make your own accessories! Get some beads at Hobbie Lobbie or Walmart (that look pricey but are not) and make some necklaces! Get some thread and braid an anklet! Good Luck!

  29. Chewie,
    We think that's a good idea to make some accessories. What color should we get. We all want to make the same thing and in the same color. Any suggestions? Thannx

  30. CB...my friends are at it again. They just texted me about what color i would suggest for the accessories they plan to make. What should i tell tthem? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

  31. Dear Jenny, GG, and Sarah,
    Dont all 3 of you have to same color! Your gonna wanna mix it up a lil! Since its spring and summer time, your gonna wanna stay with bright, fun colors! Try some, pinks, light blues, yellows, reds, greens, and whites!! To mix and match colors use these pairs:
    Light Blue: yellow,red, white
    Pink: red, white
    Yellow: light blue, green, white, red
    Red: green, light blue, yellow, pink, white
    Green: white, red, yellow
    White: green, red, yellow, pink, light blue
    Black goes with everything, but use it in lil amounts.
    By the way, I don't think that Cloned to Death really appreciates you asking her for fashion tips. If your having problems, just ask Chewie. Good Luck!

  32. Cloned to Death,
    Don't worry about it. I told them to try to lay off. So hopefully they will back off a lil. If not, tell them how you feel! Tell them you dont like giving your fashion tips away!!!
