(13/f)

i windsurf a lot and i compete a lot to. so next friday i have this competition and i qualified to compete with older people. which means im going to be the youngest one windsurfing in the competition. and well im REALLY nervous..does n e one know what i should do to calm myself down for the race next friday?

thx

Wow! You must be pretty good! Take some deep breaths before you go compete. I know some people say it doesn't work but it really does. And have fun. I mean if you're all serious about it and just want to win you'll try too hard and make mistakes. Sure, you should be serious about it, but make sure you're having fun! Hope I helped!

hey guys! i got my hair chemically straightened with my cuzin back in march. my hair doesnt really dry straight from it though. its kinda wavy when it used to be loose curls. i still have to straighten it which used to take me an hour now its like 20 mins. but my cuzins hair dries straight .. mine doesnt. my hair took to the chemicals real fast so they didnt let it sit in my hair as long as they should have. ok well getting to the point.. i have to get my roots straightened again soon and i was wondering if i should say something to them and if so.. what should i say?

Just ask them about it. Say that it was wavy when it dried. They SHOULD have let the chemicals stay in longer. All you have to do is explain that to them and I'm sure they can fix it. =c)

It's fine to date somebody younger than you. There are people I know in 8th grade who would go out with certain 6th graders. So yea, it's fine!

13/f ok i was going out with my bf for like 2 or 3 years. we broke up last year and he started going out with this one popular girl. she's a real snot to everyone except her "popular" friends and i don't see why he likes her. he's been kinda checking me out this summer and he's in my class this year and she's not. is there any way that i could get him to like me again??? i really need help with this! (he's not the bad boy type he's more the nice guy type) help!!

If you want him to like you then you have to start talking to him. If you want to, you can start casually flirting with him, and if he responds by flirting back, it might show that hes interested. If he likes you he'll probably dump his girlfriend. Then let him know that you're interested in him. I hope I helped! Ratings appreciated =c)

I dont get along with my brother. He never listens to me. What do I do?

Try to talk to him and ask him nicely to listen to you. If he's being annoying ignore him. He will stop eventually. He just probably hasn't matured yet. In a few months or a year or 2 he'll be over it.

I have blotchy skin like pimples and its kinda red should i go to the dermatologist? Also what kind of face wash should i get? Thanks

You can try Pro-active. Its supposed to get rid of pimples and blotchy skin. If you want you can go to the dermatologist.. he/she should be able to give you the best prescription but they can get pretty pricey.. well I hope I helped! Ratings appreciated =c)

okay, i have a question, i like this one guy, and he likes me back, but the problem is that he lives far away like 20 minutes away, and we can hardly see each other, were're not going out or anything, we just like each other a lot, we want to see each other more, well at least i do, i like this guy alot, but i don't know what to do, can u help me??

If you like him that much then 20 minutes away isn't a big deal. Some people live across the country from each other and are going out. I think you can make the drive there every other weekend or something and he can drive to you every other weekend. Even during the weekdays you could do that because it's not TOO far of a drive. I hope I helped! Ratings appreciated =c)

Okay I'm 14 and there is this guy Patrick (16) he has a crush on me which would be fine because i can survive that but he is also in a wheel chair and thinks that he some big-shot and all the girls at church are disgusted with him (as am I) because you can't get through a meeting with out him raising his eye brows and mouthing something. I have told I have no intrested in him and when I did he just stared at me for months with a look of hatrid almost. He is a very spoiled kid and gets his way no matter what. I don't normaly say things about people that have disabilitys but I am so tempted to stop to my meetings because of him. I don't like him, I've told him, Ignored him, Been completing nice (Bad Idea to be nice made him think I liked him) I have even had my friends to tell him. He just doesn't get it. Don't tell me to tell the adults because they think its so sweet! PLEASE.
Only the Young Women can see what he really is; A spoiled brat. so any advice on how to stop him would very helpful.

Signed,
Disability Patrick

I think if you just keep talking to him and say stuff like Patrick, I DO NOT LIKE YOU! so please stop thinking I do then he'll listen. Just ignore him if he looks at you or talks to you. I hope I helped, if not I'm sorry. Ratings appreciated =c)

okay..i want to get a puppy but ive never had any animal before except a fish and i hated it so i let it die, anyways i have no idea how to take care of a puppy cuz i wanna get it when its little but i dont want it going to the bathroom all in the house but what do i do in the winter? but the real ? here is what type of dog should i get, i want a really cute one, i did want a little weiner dog but i dont know, i know that i want a really little dog but chiwawas are mean and yappers so what should i get? and also what would be some really cute names with that dog? i would get a girl one of whatever help! (and dont tell me ugly dogs and no poodles)

Yorkshire terriers are adorable! My friend has one and named it Dolly.
If it goes to the bathroom in the house you have to get the puppy, hold its nose to where it went, and scold it. Don't feel bad, its the only way they learn. They forget about you scolding them anyway but they learn to go to the bathroom. Take it outside every hour or something so it goes to the bathroom out there. In the winter take it outside also. Dogs are fine outside in the winter, my dogs love playing in the snow! I hope this helps!

i'm 16/f and am totally confused my the actions of my recent ex-boyfriend. We recently had a discussion and he really said some things that threw me totally off. First off, the reason he dumped me was because he said he didn't love me anymore and that really hurt. Alright, well then today he tells me that he wants to be careful of other guys and he flipped out when he heard i was interested in another guy, then he tells me he still cares about me, and that he has to tell me something that's very important, but doesn't wanna tell me because he's afraid that it'll screw stuff up. I don't know what this stuff is, but anyway, I really need some help! I think my ex doesnt want me to be with other guys and wants me to be devoted to only him! What should i do??!?!?!?

He sounds sort of like a stalker to me. Tell him you're over him and you don't want him to feel bad but you don't like him anymore. He might keep pushing you, but just tell him to get over you. I hope I helped! Ratings appreciated. =c)

13/Female...I have jouvenile diabetes, which is sad because everyday, i have to prick my finger everyday BUT i'm used to it so it doesnt matter. anyway, i'm going to school next monday (i have never been to regular school, only homeschool) and im thinking that everyone will make fun of me because during class, i will have to go to the bathroom and prick my finger. im afraid everyone will make fun of me :( How do i explain to them that this is okay and im just a normal human being and im just like everyone else?

Nobody will make fun of you. At least they shouldn't. It's normal that you have jouvenile diabetes, you just have to explain that to them when they ask what you're doing. After that they probably won't think about it again.

alright, im not one of those overweight/underweight girls wanting attention or needing "emergency" help with their weight. but i have been wondering this question for a bit. when you say this weight is "average" for this height... are you saying most common kids for this age are this weight, or this is the weight you SHOULD be... in simpler words: are you basing average weight as the weight most common and good, or the weight that is considered average by professionals? i mean, the US has a large percentage of overweight children these days, and if you base it on average weight of all gendered children, wouldnt that make the scale a little off? sorry this is long- just want to know what everyone is basing their advice on! thank you and goodnight.

I think that its the weight that you should be. I agree that there are a lot of overweight kids these days, but I think that its the weight you should be.. not too skinny, not to overweight.

high skool is startin in less than a week, so im pumped bout that. the only thing is... i hang out with everyone. im not popular or nething but i have a bunch of friends, which can b bad. i hang out with a group of friends, then go over n hang with another. but the thing is im not really accepted in either one. they like me, but i can tell there talking behind my backs cause i hang out with such and such. ive tried for 2 years to balance it out, but it annoying me so much. can someone just tellme what to do?? i rate

I totally understand this. I have a lot of groups of friends. If they talk behind your back you should tell them that you don't care what anybody thinks, that you can hang out with whoever you want and they shouldn't care. If they actually keep doing it then they're not worth it to be your friends. At the high school in my town, nobody cares who people hang out with so maybe its the same for you. There's a lot more people, and nobody is really classified as a nerd or being popular. I don't know how it is in your high school, so it might be different but I hope I helped!

I love my boyfriend with all my heart. He is the best thing that ever happened to me, but he has this one little problem. He likes to play by the hand a little too much. He doesn't hurt me or anything, but like if I'm sitting at the computer, he will pass by me and knock me upside the head, or flick the back of my neck or something. It doesnt hurt but its really annoying. Sometimes I yell at him because i get so agrivated, but that doesnt seem to help. I also try telling him, but I just think its a really bad habit he has. How do I get him to stop.

Tell him gently that you don't like it when he does that. Everybody had problems, and apparantly this is his. If he's a good boyfriend he should stop when he realizes that you're serious. I hope I helped!

My last 2 years in Middle School, we didn't need to tryout for basketball. Basically, everyone played because it was a small school. I moved and now I'm in 8th grade, and I just heard tryouts are Monday (4 days!!) I had no clue because I've been going to the same school for 7 years until this year. What is going to be expected for us to do (like specific shots and things I need to know) and how hard do you think it might be?
Thanks,
Worried

Oh, wow. Basketball. I know a lot about that. Well, you have to be able to dribble and do a shot correctly. Work on your free throws. The faster you are the better chance you have on being on the team. Also you should be able to do lay-ups. If you can do cross-overs, behind the back, between the legs, the spin move and all those other passes or drills, then it will help you A LOT. Don't hog the ball either. =c)

Hey ok the new school year starts this monday and im scared bout making new friends cuz last year i told people i was christian (im not afraid 2 share my faith) so they all thought i was weird and stuff...and i dont cuss so instead of saying a bad word id say like crap or freak or whatever and they'd make fun of me..i still want ppl to know im christian this year but im scared i wont have friends! i know what i did wrong last year id tell people that Jesus loves them jokingly and they got scared so yea not gonna do that but even if i tell them that im a christian they might reject me..so what do i do?

If they reject you its their problem. Go ahead and share your faith. More people need Jesus in their lives. You can find a friend who shares your belief and likes you! Tell people you're a Christian. If they don't like you then they have some serious issues =c) And I'm proud of you for not using cuss words.. too many people do these days. They're useless words. Hope I helped!

I'm not very physcially fit, I dont exercise a lot and well i started skool few days ago and i have gym..my teacher is crazy and makes us run a lap, run up stairs, run down a hill, do 20 crunches, 10 pushups, and then do it one more time! Before that we have to run acrross the football field doing things like skipping, jumping,jogging whatever. And thats all for the warmup! is there anything i can do to less the pain i feel after we have our warmup??? my legs are so sore i can barley walk! thanks i rate!

As you go along it'll get easier if not for awhile. What you can do though is get heating pads or put ice on your legs. Also, you can take a warm bath or shower, which will relax you. It'll help to stretch after your gym class so your legs won't hurt as much. I hope I helped!

I met my current boyfriend at the beginning of summer. We have been off and on many times. I'm 15 and he's turning 16 soon. I have no idea what to do about his birthday because first of all, we don't know eachother that well yet and we haven't been going out for a long time. Should I even get him anything? Or is a special birthday call, hug, kiss (I know it sounds lame) good enough?

sure, a card's great! does he have a favorite band that he wants their cd? you might be able to find a shirt with his favorite band name on it or something lyke that.. i know they have shirts lyke that at hot topic. anyway a kiss would be nice too =c) tell me if i can be of any more help!

My boyfriend and I haven't been going out for that long. When we're kissing and really into it, he tries to finger me and I really am not ready for that right now. How do I explain/tell him I very much enjoy kissing him, but I don't want things to go too far just yet?

just tell him gently that you're not ready for that. if he gets mad at you then dump him. he's not worth your time. find a boyfriend whos considerate of your feelings and will wait for you to be ready. tell me if i can be of any more help!
