Okay, i was on birth control and i stopped taking it. i took it and it changed me from getting my period at the end of the month to the beginning of the month and it was fine. I got it, and right when it ended i stopped taking the BC. Then i got my period again a week after I ended last.. so twice in one month.
Should i be worried?
No, when you go off birthcontrol it can screw up your estrogen levels and confuse your body. When I quit taking birthcontrol I had my period twice in one month. It was the same as my normal, monthly period and I was freaked out, but the doctor said that it was completely normal. If it happens the next month too, you still shouldn't be too worried. But if this "second" period occurs for a long period of time or is a lot heavier than normal, seek medical attention. =)
I need a work-out routine that will make me loose a little weaight, but I want more like a flatter stomach (I'm really stressed & thats where the stress seems to go) & a 6-pack, & maby some arm musscle, I'm fairly thin, I'm 14/M & I'm about 5'2 & I weaigh about 110 or 115, & I'm not doing this cos I wanna be on a sports team, but cos I'm made-fun of alot, & I think if I possibuly looked better, maby that would decreese, so alls I want is some arms mussles, a flater stomach, & a 6-pack. & I wanted to know a good routine that I could use for that & a good diet. I'm 14 & so I don't have SO much accses, like I can't go to the gym, but I can go for walks & stuff
thanks!
I get it. But I'm not sure if this is your only problem. Usually people that are made fun of think that it's their looks, but changing only your looks won't give you the self confidence that you want.
Try something that will give you confidence like a Tae-Bo work out video, that will boost your confidence plus get you looking great!
I myself am in Tae-Kwon-Do, that is an excellent way to build confidence on almost every level you could think of. Look around your town foir an American Tae-Kwon-Do association, or any one really, ATA is just one of the most common.
If neither of those is your thing you could also try a cardio aerobics video, there is nothing better than a cardio work out, nothing faster either.
You can usually get a cardio/Tae-bo work out video at Wal*Mart for under $10.00.
But again, it probably isn't your looks because from what you've said I think that you're at about the perfect wieght for your height, maybe even a little small.(no offence!)
Anyway, just try to ignore the people making fun of you, or come up with a sarcastic reply. My cousin has the same problem. I'm really sorry about that though, if whoever is picking on you gets violent or compeltely out of line tell someone, like your friends or a guidance counselor or something. Good luck!!
it's not that i'm a shy person, but I often get stage fright. sometimes when I have to perform a play or skit, or when I have to go in front of my whole class and all attention is on me, my body starts to get really hot and like my face, chest, and arms will turn red. I just wanted to kno if other people are experiencing that too.. and how can I prevent this from happening??
thanxx
Okay, I can totally understand this. This used to happen to me as well, it will get better though.
To answer your question yes, there is a way to stop the fright, but not always the blushing.
Try saying the speech or whatever as much as possible so that you can feel confident about it.
Also, try to tell yourself "The sooner I get it over with, the sooner I'll be done, and the sooner I'll be able to go back to my seat."
Try just concentrating on what you're doing and not on anything else.
Good Luck!!
I am 14 and female. I get A's in school, but sometimes I think I have ADD because when I'm not interested I just space out.
Well, at least I WANT to think I have ADD.
You see, my friend told me that ADD medication like Aderol and Ritalin (I can't spell, please help there..) makes your metabolism hella fast and makes you lose weight like crazy. Many of my friends have ADD and I can prove this statement true because they have all lost weight since their diagnosis. Now I'm not the skinniest person but I'm at an ideal weight right now. I would like to lose at least 10 pounds or so. It isn't a lot and it would do me good.
I wonder if this is worth it. Should I go get tested? I know it's like using crystal meth to get skinny like my friend did, because it is a perscription drug, but when I told my mom she almost started crying she was so mad and my friends are worried about me. Is it really that bad? Should I consider that I may have ADD even though my attention span is pretty long for my age and that would just be an excuse to lose weight? Or should I just drop the topic? I know this is really vain, but I need some advice. Thanks.
I myself have ADD and I can tell you the side effects of the medicine myself.
Yes, it does make you lose weight, but not in a good way. Ritalin can make you skin and bone, no chest, no hips, no nothing. It also takes awya a lot of the nutrients that your body needs though causing you to get pale and sick.
Most people with ADD don't just space out, there are a lot of other side effects. ADD isn't just a health disorder, it's a mental one. When you have ADD your brain actually functions differently than everyone elses.
Did these problems just start or did you have them from childhood? Most people with ADD had a hyper activity disorder as a child, spacing out too, not always of course.
If you want to get thinner I suggest bbuying a Tae-Bo video tape/DVD, or aerobics, aerobics are the best wya toget thin because not only are you losing fat, you're also keeping your body healthy and in top shape, and you have a little bit of muscle to show off. No one likes skin and bones.
I hoped that I could help! Good luck!
I walked in on my very hot teacher and his wife going at it in the janitors closet one day because i was helping my principal for community service points clean her office. when i came back she asked me what was wrong cause i was mortified. seriously. this is no joke. so i dont know if i should tell her or not. but when i went to class the next day i felt very awkward and i could tell my teacher did too. so later him and his wife saw me walking down the hall and asked me if i wanted to join them at their house, as long as i didn't tell. should i tell the principal or should i join them? seriously. anyboyd that just wants to laugh at me can screw off because this is a very serious problem and i'm really stuck andi dont know what to do. please help
This is a tuffy, but I can see where you're coming from and why you're confused.
First of all I do not think that you should join them. Have you considered why they want you to join them? I don't think that this is the best way to go because they know that they were doing something that they shouldn't have been doing at that time or place so they want to keep you happy and content so that you won't tell.
I think that you should tell the principal because she has a right to know what kinds of things are being done under her nose for minors to see, for any one to see.
Your teacher should have talked to you about it right away so its obvious that he's trying to hide it, even though that's not the best thing to do.
I think that you should call together a meeting with your principal and your teacher. At the meeting say to your teacher, "Okay, I think that (your principal's name) has a right to know what was going on and I think that it would be better coming from you." If he refuses to talk or does anything that you take as threatening or "don't say it" tell the principal what you witnessed yourself. It won't be easy but the sooner the better.
Also, make sure that you tell your parents what happened just so that they're aware of it.
Good luck on your problema nd I truly hope that this helps.
ok im 15/f and i really like this guy but it seems like he never notices me! we talk in my math class sometimes but never outside of class! how do i get him 2 notice him cause i always dress nice and stuff but i dont know what else to do!! pleaz help!
Well, you could always offer to turor him if he's not very good at math. Just smile at him in the halls, say hi and stuffc, eventually he'll start saying it too and you can talk to him about more stuff, just go easy at first. If he's better at math than you, you could ask him for help. Just be yourself around him, send him a note if that's your style. maybe if there's spare4 time at the end off class you could bring a gmae like cards or something to play with your freinds and invite him in too. Just some thoughts. Good luck!!
i wanna get fatter but ma matabalism is way to high and everyone thinks im anorexic or baliemic and they yell at me when i skip luch cuz i dont got ne money and they think i just say that to get them away so what do i do help me plz. i want to get muscular a fatter ne one kno how to do this
Some girls are just naturally that way. Try getting a little for lunch if you can, or take food from home. To get muscular try cardio-aerbics. I recamend yoga and pilatres too. Running is always good. You can buy Yoga or pilates video tapes or DVDs at Wal*Mart for under ten dollars. Good Luck!
ok ok, i just got my period for the first time this morning. now what! how do i know when it will come back? should i start with pads or tampons (now i'm using pads)? and ahh just please help!
thank-you!
If you just started and are a virgin, use pads first definitly. But, if you aren't a virgin, tampons probably wouldn't bother you. If you really want to use tampons, buy small ones and put them in slowly to get use to the feeling, if you are a virgin. Talk to your mom about it if you can, it may be embarrasing, but she can probably help you. Also, if you feel more comfertable talk to your freinds about it. Your period will normslly last three-five days, though, mine has always run about a week. Some girls start off hard, anmd after a few months get into a regular cycle. So, don't be afraid if you aren't regular for a while, it'll be ok. Hope I could help!
what is a man whore when directed towards a guy? ANd what is a man whore when direct towards a girl
Calling aq guy a 'Man-Whore' is just like calling a girl a whore, only it is normally a bit more comical and used to insult someone in a sort of funny way. But can be used to insult a man to the equality of calling a girl a whore, when used in the right context. no one should be calling a girl a 'Man-Whore' because it's a waste of air, just whore will do. But seriously, girls shouldn't be called man whores because they're girls! Hope I could help at least a little!!
Hey it's me again the 14/f that is pregnate..For those of you that don't remember or know me, I had a boyfriend in jail and the side relationship where I got pregnate and found out from a test. Pierre is his name..not mike..but anyway pierre wants this baby aborted..he said he's not going to lose his football career over me or the baby..i`m already 6 weeks and I love this baby more than anything now. Telling my boyfriend was hard.. even harder then telling my father! My boyfriend was really mad since he just got out of jail and everything and wanted to kill the crap out of pierre..well my boyfriend really loves me and you can tell..since he said he'll be the father since pierre won't....but what should i do..should i still consider abortion? because I really want this child...
No offence, but it doesn't sound like he really loves you if he told you that he wouldn'y lose anything over leaving you and the baby. He may though since he said that he would support you, thats really sweet. You should probably take the other guy to court, to make him pay child support. He NEEDS to gve you money, since he was the one that got you pregnet, look it up on websites, just type in 'child insurence' and it'll take you to a bunch of sites. Good luck!
I want to be homeschooled next year, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it and if it costs alot or not? If someone was to be homeschooled, would they still have to take gym or no?
No, no gym. But, I wouldn't reccomend homeschooling. It puts a huge dent in your social life, and you really don't learn as much unless one of your parents is like a real teacher or something. It doesn't cost a lot, but to make sure that you're at the same pace as the rest of your grade, at the end of the year your parents have to turn in everything you've done to see if you can pass to the next grade. There are some computer programs, like Excel, that you can buy that will give you assignments for you basic classes, depending on what grade you're in. I was homeschooled for two years, and while it was easy, I didn't learn much, and the next year i felt that I was lacking in the math department. If you are going to be homeschooled, see if your parents can hire an actual tutor to teach you subjects that you or they have difficulty with. Good Luck with your schooling!
is 13 too young to get married. i mean yeah it is but like i mean if you really felt you were ready could someone marry u without a parents consent. or even with one
If you are truly and completly in love, and you are positive that you are with your soulmate and the person that you want to be with for the rest of your life. Then yes, I think you are old enough. But, to be married legally you need the approval of both sets of parents. Of course, you and your boyfreind could have your own private ceremony, with your parents or not, and give each other vows and rings. You could even get real vows that a preist or rabbi would say off-line to read or have read. Good Luck with your decision, and your future husband!!
okay so i always have the munchies and like i usally go straight ta the chips and chocolate! wut are some good but healthy snakcs i can chomp on till dinner time?
Go to the store, and look at all of the different foods that are in the fruits and veggies section. Maybe you'll find something that you've never had before. Also, if you go to vegetarian sites, they always have really good healthy snacks that you can eat. If you must have cookies and chips, go for the low fat/ low calorie snacks. I like tea, which can hold off your hunger until later. Green tea is excellent for your body, and can make your hunger subside. Yogurt is also very healthy, or cheese and crackers, cheese. You could also try energy drinks such as Boost to help you stop your cravings. Good Luck!!
Can a person be in love in 8th grade? Or is it just bogus? I do believe I'm in love and I wondering if it really is love. All of my friends alkways say I'm in love with this boy and I have been for a while. Thanks!
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Love is different for every couple, and can't be measured or categorized by certain standards. For me, love is when you feel wonderful around that one special person, and can see yourselves together in the future. It's all about what you think. If you truly honetly believe it's love without anny doubts, it probably is. Good luck with your future boyfreind!!
just wondering... met a great guy on match.com, we've been dating for almost 11 months... but he still has his ad up there! what's the deal with that? a male ego thing? He said no he's not looking for another girlfriend, and gave me a beautiful diamond necklace for christmas. he's 35 I'm 39. tell me how to get what I want, just a steady boyfriend without all the wondering. I'm too old for this high school crap.
A lot of people on those match maker sites will keep their adds up because they like talking to a lot of different people. My freind herself talks to about three or four guys herself, just because she likes having people to talk to without the fear that she'll be embarrased or have her secrets told. He probably just likes to talk to different people. But, he sounds really serious about you. Diamonds are a big deal! He loves being with you, but likes talking to other people. Hope I could help a little bit! Good luck with your budding romance!!
how to i sign out 4 gd? i want to close my account permatmently how do i do it?

okay so my 2 ex best friends are comming to my house...and 2 of my other best friends house's to T.P. us BADLY!!! i know this for a fact because ive got resources...ANYWAYS...me and my 2 friends who are supposedly getting t.p.ed too are gonna call the cops on them...they have put us through so much crap the past few weeks so this is just our lil pay back!! do you think its to much? if you think that maybe it IS beecause i might want them to be friends with me again one day...trust me thats NOT gonna happen!!
-x0x-
Tell your parents BEFORE you're T.P.ed. Maybe talk to your ex-freinds parents to stop them too. I don't think that calling the cops would be that bad, they deserve it if they are going to do something like that. If they decided to egg your house it would be worse. Eggs, they stain, and can take paint off, and are crap to get off. Don't let them do it. Good Luck!!
Ok my I have a friend Laura* and she is always copying me! For instance, I got my hair cut short and the next thing you know she decides to cut off her like 3ft long hair too! And the other day on the bus I was singing the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song (:D) and she goes " OH! I LOVE THAT SONG!!!! " I was like...goodddddd!!!!! It just gets on my nerves alot! Idk how to make her stop...anyone have any ideas? THANKS!
She may or may not actually be copying you. maybe she had already planned to get her hair cut? Or maybe she had been wanting to for a while and seeing you do it gave her the courage. She probably looks up to you and wants to be like you. And, a lot of people like the fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme song. But, for you to place a question here, she probably has done a lot more. Next time it's really obvious that she's copying you say something like, "Dude! Are you copying me?!" With a little grin like your joking, she should get the hint. If that doesn't work after a while, tell her that you think that she is copying you. But, imitation is the highest form of flattery. How ever annoying it may be. Don't be to mean though, it could hurt her feelings. Lots of luck!!
ok my friend is coming to stay over my house tonight and we always get so bored... does anyone have any fun things that we could do? thanx... i rate 5s
If you can, invite other people over and have a mini party! Play music while she's there, dance ridiculously! Do each others hair and make up in crazy styles and take pictures if you can. Order pizza, or make one together! Play I never, its usually more fun in a group, but can be fun with two people. You put up ten fingers and go back and forth, each of you saying something that you've never done, if the other has done it, they put a finger down. First one with all ten fingers down loses. You could get on-line and take quizzes at quizilla.com, that place has the best quizzes! Play mad Libs if you have them. Watch MTV. Hope that this is at least a little helpful! God Luck with your sleepover!!
On my bus the older kids are mean to my best friend. They always steal her stuff. Like yesterday she had a gameboy with her and was playing sims and this kid stole it and wouldn't give it back until she gave him gum. She had to jump some seats to get it back. Then today she wouldn't give him gum again so he started stabbing her with a needle. He treatened to stab me with it if I didn't move so he could get inm our seat. They my best friend threw the gum out the window and he and his friends started cursing her off and trying to cut her with it. I want to find a way to help but I don't know how. What should I do?
Tell them exactly what they are, losers! I can't stand people who are such jerks! I wouldn't move when they threaten you, ignore what they say, and if they start poking you with needles, either take it from them and throw it out the window, tell someone else, move, or, tell them that it is a criminal offence and that they could go to jail or Juvy. Don't let them continue, ask them why they are doing it. On the other hand, they could just want you guys attention. To throw them off, be super nice when they're mean, it'll give you a sence of pride, and confuse them. Maybe they just need freinds, and want to hang out with you two. Talk to her parents and your parents, see what they can do. Maybe you could change buses? Just don't let it conjtinue, she doesn't deserve it, and neither do you.
