I need to go swimming but i'm on my period. My teacher needs a note if I dont go. I know it's natural but Isont care. I dont want him or my parents to know. If your gonna tell me its nothing to be embarrased about dont bother. I wont listen. Its urgent. ANY EXCUSE WILL DO! If you answer with any excuse i will be most appreciative. THANKYOU! (link)
We all go through swimming class and none of us want to do it, for whatever reason.

And when I first started my period, I was so embarassed and didn't tell my mom. It was horrible.

But now that I am eighteen, I realize that it simply isn't a big deal. Your mother got her period when she was young and of course she expects you to have it.

If you want to get out of swimming, you need a note. I don't see any other health reason that you shouldn't go, besides like Swimmers Ear or 'allergic to chlorine' but both of those sound like a lie and you would need a doctors note.

You could forge a note, but that would get you in trouble if you were caught.

Face your fears and ask your mom for a note, or just deal with swimming.

typical; i have no idea what to get my boyfriend for valentine's day. sadder yet is that due to a recent emergency, literally ALL i have to spend on his gift is bout 25 dollars. so on top of not knowing what to get him, my choices are pretty much limited. what do i get him that obviously has to be pretty cheap that won't SEEM cheap, or make it seem i don't care? because i really do; i've been racking my brain but he happens to be very difficult to shop for. he's not the typical guy in that he's not into sports at all. he's not the cologne type either. he's into technology and video games but all the good stuff is either expensive and/or he already has it. and we've only been together for 6 months; we haven't had sex, nor are we planning anything close to it, so you can cross anything related off your suggestion list if you were thinking that :) but seriously. any ideas? (link)
Thankfully, guys don't usually expect a lot on valentines day. They consider it their duty to get the girl something nice.

You could save a lot of money by giving him home made things.

You could make cute coupons that say things like "One free kiss" or "Good for one back massage". You could also personalize them with his favorite things or your inside jokes. You could even print these on the computer then they are basically free.

You could make him a special treat with ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Most bags of chocolate chips have a cookie recipe on the back, and the ones made from scratch are DELICIOUS. The ingredients are pretty basic and you wouldn't even know you had all of them in your house, but you do. You could decorate them with pink and red icing (you can buy that or even make it if you have food coloring).

You could go to a craft store like AC Moore and find a picture frame you can decorate with paint, stickers, puffy paint, glitter, etc. Most guys would love a picture to put in their room but either don't have the artisic ability to get it together or feel to manly to get their own picture frame hahha.

I was just at the dollar store, and they have a HUGE selection of valentines day stuff. They have nice picture frames, candles, decorative cards, boxes, bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper, candy, etc. You could put together a gift basket for under $10 or $5.

You could even make a theme, like a 'spa' basket where its all about treating him; with candles, lotion, etc.

Or you could put your money to something fun, like taking him ice skating or bowling, which are relatively cheap.

Be creative, think about his personality, and have fun with it. Since you haven't been together too long, it could be an opportunity to make him laugh instead of being gushy and romantic.

Good luck and Happy Valentines Day!

I'm 16, turning 17 in six months, and a junior. I'm in a class mixed with sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Apparently, all of them thought I was a freshman because I look so young.

I'm 5'2", very thin, and I don't really wear make up. I'm not going to go changing my wardrobe and begin wearing pencil skirts with high heels to look 25 at school, so I'm thinking it may be my (lack of) make up that makes me look younger.

I have very fair skin, green eyes, and brown hair. Mascara and eyeliner usually would do the trick, right? (link)
Black eye liner and mascara will definitely make you look older.

Start out slow and add mascara, then maybe a week later do some eye liner, and work your way up to a sexy cat eye. You don't want to go from natural faced to heavy make up in one day.

Stay away from super sparkly light pink lip glosses and powder blue/pastel type eye shadows because they scream young girl, and if your look is sloppy it's also going to make you look younger.

You may also just have a baby face, which isn't something you can really change. Enjoy it, because you will be looking young when your peers are complaining about how old they look!

Good luck,

i'm 18 and i've never had a job before, besides baby/pet sitting. i tried to work in fast food once and got fired two days later. (honestly was not my fault. they screwed up my hours and didn't let me know i was working on certain days and assumed i was cutting out) so anyway, fastfood is not my thing.

if i were to try to get a job now, where is a good place thats NOT FAST FOOD that would hire me, even with absolutely no experience in cash register or anything? (link)
I would look at your local businesses. Look at the mall, look at family owned shops or even pizza places (if its not a corporation, it will be less by the book and possibly more personal).

Think about your connections, like if any of your friends or parents friends own a business or work anywhere.

You could work as a hair wash girl at a hair salon with no experience, or you could start selling avon/mary kay, things like that.

Be creative and think about what you would be good at. Most importantly, be ambitious and put yourself out there.

Good luck,

what is the name of this style dress? where can i buy one like this?

(link)
There really isn't a name for that, besides maybe mini-dress or what I would call it, a skanky dress.

Try amiclubwear.com, they have a lot of simple dresses like that and they are tight and short.

Good luck,

My husband and I have a girlfriend but he is into it more than I am. It was my idea to keep our relationship interesting and to be honest it kind of turns me on to think of him with another woman BUT at times I find myself getting somewhat jealous of this other woman. I don't know if it is a good idea to continue this if I get jealous when he kisses her or texts her. But at the same time I like watching them have sex especially if I am apart of it. I'm worried that my emotions are going to cause this relationship to cause problems with my husband and I. I know he is enjoying this and all I want is for him to be happy. I don't want him to get bored with me. But I don't know if it is wise to continue this if I am not 100% happy with this arrangement. I am also 9 months pregnant so that may have something to do with why my emotions are up and down about this. I'm torn... (link)
I have been thinking a lot about open relationships recently, especially with TV shows like Sister Wives and the True Life series.

On true life, they featured poly-amorous people. These people openly dated men and women but none were married.

What I noticed about them was jealousy was quite prevalent and caused a partnership of three men to break up. One constantly felt insecure because the two seemed to partner off more.

There was also a woman who dated another woman and a man. I noticed that she didn't seem to develop deep connections with either of them and jealousy was also there.

When you can't focus all your attention on that one special person, it creates conflict. You may feel neglected and hurt.

It is also impossible to have a deep, connected relationship with more than one partner. I don't care what anyone says. If you can't receive all of him, then he can't receive all of you either. The closeness is much stronger when it is only two people.

On Sister Wives, one man named Kody has four wives and MANY children. These people were much more structured than the poly-amorous people I saw and they make open relationships seem functional. What I did notice was all the wives at one point or another felt neglected. They wanted more time with their husband and there just isn't enough time in the day. They had to take care of all the children, handle the house, and share their husband. The relationship between the wives was stronger than it was between husband and wife.

Honestly, why should you have to share your partner? Shouldn't he be able to support you 24/7 and vice versa? Do you want to be put second at times for another woman?

Especially with a baby on the way! You need undivided attention and support from your husband. Of course it is rational for you to feel this way, you are pregnant and your husband is having sex with another woman.

The only way I would consider continuing this was if you also enjoy the relationship with the woman. Do you have a sexual and emotional relationship with her? Does she fulfill any of your needs? If it is only for your husbands fulfillment, then it isn't fair.

I think you and your husband should discuss it and possibly agree to put any side relationships on hold while you are preparing for the baby. What you two really should be doing is focusing on the baby at this time anyway.

Your feelings are completely justified, so go with your gut.

Good luck,

In my daughter's school there will eventually be a swimming unit coming up soon and both boys and girls have the class together. Isn' t kind of wrong to force young people to be in bathing suits in front of each other? Even if its one piece? I assumed they would be seperate. Daughter is in 8th grade by the way (link)
At 8th grade, I feel like that is an awkward stage for boys and girls to be in a swimming class together. Everyone is starting to develop and boys and girls can be very sensitive and immature about it; many of them may feel self-concious or embarrassed.

You could certainly approach the school about it and probably get your daugther out of the unit, but that may make her peers wonder why she didn't have to do it and that might cause some issues in itself.

In my swim unit, we can wear whatever we want in the pool, so maybe if your child wears a t shirt and shorts over her bathing suit she would feel more comfortable.

You could comprimise or try to see what you can do about it, but I'm sure your daughter will do fine.

Good luck,

So my boyfriend and I have sex, with no problem. But if we try and switch positions to where i'm on top, we have to stop cause it hurts. Many people do it, but i just can't. It really does hurt. Is there a way where I can be on top, and it won't hurt, or at least tell me why it does. Please help, Thanks. (link)
I'm sort of in the same boat. It doesn't hurt to be on top for me anymore, but it doesn't feel good either. It feels like a weird pressure and like its pressing on the wrong things, it just doesn't feel good at all!

I'm not sure what the deal is, but I suggest looking up some different positions and seeing what feels good. Maybe after time being on top will hurt less for you, thats usually what happens.

Good luck,

-Abby


Hey you guys, I really need your help. I only been dating my boyfriend less than a week right now and valentines day is coming up, and I have no idea what to get my boyfriend. So can you guys give me some gift suggestions? I really am stuck. (link)
It's hard since you've only been going out a short amount of time. I suggest you keep it light hearted and fun. Maybe get him some of his favorite candy, or bake cupcakes and decorate them. As far as gifts go I wouldn't get too lavish, maybe a movie you think he would like or a CD, or something funny. I got my boyfriend a pillow pet that is valentines day themed. It's a cute and fun gift that doesn't put too much pressure on anyone.

You two could agree not to do gifts and do something fun together, like go ice skating or have a movie night. Whatever you think would be fun!

Don't worry too much about it, thats how people end up unhappy on this holiday because their expectations are too high or too low.

Good luck,

-Abby

My boyfriend Alejandro wants to get intamite with me and he says he loves me alot and would marry me but he says he deserts me to much to betrade my parents and marry me at 15 but he says we should start having sex I do trust him and he totally understands me even if I say no to the sex but I love him 2 and I'm saying yes my parents agreed with me on saying yes and they are providing the hotel suite and protection which is way cool but Alejandro showed me his penis and I don't know why plzz help with advice and answers (link)
Babe, I think you are in WAY over your head.

You are FIFTEEN! You should not be talking about marriage! I don't think either you or Alejandro really know what love is at your age, especially since you have only been dating five months.

Don't let Alejandro push you into having sex. It is YOUR choice. No one else! Even if your parents approve, it is your choice.

To be honest, it's alarming that your parents are providing a hotel suite. That isn't proper behavior. It's like they are encouraging you to be promiscuous. Having a set time and date to lose your virginity is too much pressure. I would tell your parents to cancel any hotel reservations.

It sounds like you are scared and unsure. You should be positive you want to have sex and are ready, emotionally and physically. There is no rush!

And if you love Alejandro, you can manage to wait. If he loves you, he will wait too. That's it! If he won't wait, then don't chase after him. That means he doesn't care about you.

Don't do something you will regret.

Is there a school counselor you can talk to? Maybe you could go to a Planned Parenthood center? Talking to another adult will help you make this decision.

Please make this decision carefully. In my opinion you aren't ready, but this isn't my choice.

Good luck,

-Abby


all of the people i care about and love in this world use me and i don't have the gall to tell them off. my boyfriend uses me for sex and ignores me thoughout the week, forgets our plans, doesn't give two shits about me. he was supposed to come over monday but forgot and never called. his way of apologizing for that was poking me on facebook. my friend uses me to get weed. and when not that, cigarettes. besides that, she thinks i'm the dumbest person on this planet and basically backhands me all the time (metaphorically) by insulting me. another friend only hangs out with me when she has something serious going on and needs someone who is willing to listen to hours of bullshit while smoking all of that poor person's cigarettes!!!

I'M SO TIRED OF ALL OF IT. i'm not talking to any of these people right now, but i know i probably will in a few days. i really care about all of these people, deeply. but i won't be taken advantage of anymore. i'm graduating in a few months and i have half the mind to move across the country without telling any of them. i can't believe i've put up with all this for so long. my boyfriend and i have been together for 3 years, known eachother 4. the first friend i've known for 4 years, and my other friend i've known for 13 years. what should i do? (link)
You need to make these people realize you can't be used. Next time you hang out with your friends, refuse them cigarettes. Say you're out or you're broke; whatever you have to. Tell your friend you want to hang out without smoking weed for a change and suggest a fun activity.

If your friend only likes to talk about her problems, approach her with one of yours. Even discuss this issue with her! If she won't listen remind her how you always are there for her.

And with your boyfriend, you need to show him that he can't treat you this way. He's probably used to it and thinks you won't ever leave. Talk to him and tell him what he needs to change. If he doesn't agree then it's time to take a break. He'll realize what he's missing and right his wrongs. You should also probably not give into sex whenever he wants it. Make him work for it!

To be honest, I notice that the 'friendships' shared by smokers and pot users aren't very strong. They last when the stuff is around, but when something comes up those people aren't reliable enough to be there for you. I suggest you cut down or think about quitting, and branch out to a different friend group.

You know what you deserve and you know how to get it. Stand up for yourself.

Good luck,

F/15I have told my parents I was thinking of having sex for he first time with my boyfriend we've been dating for about 5 monks and He is really sweet my parents agree with me and hy say it is ok to have sex with Alejandro (boyfriend) I don't understand why they said yes but me and my boyfriend are pretty happy abou them saying yes along as we use protection why did my parents say yes I dnt get it (link)
Your parents are probably either cool parents or they dont want to react badly because they are afraid you will rebel even further, hide things from them, or not use protection.

It's great that you can talk to your parents about it. Being open will certainly help you.

But are YOU ready for sex? Going out for five months really isn't a long time, especially when you are fifteen.

Are you prepared for the consequences? What if it isn't what you expected? What if things become awkward between you and Alejandro? There are plenty of situations where the boy has sex with the girl and then stops talking to her. Would it be okay with you if he left you after you two had sex?

Are you prepared for the pain? The first time having sex does hurt, trust me. Are you prepared to start going to the gynecologist? After you become sexually active it is important to get checked out regularly.
Have both of you been tested? Can you trust Alejandro not to have any STD's? Some symptoms go by unnoticed, so you could have seen his penis and still have no idea.

Do you have the protection you need? You have to purchase condoms, and it is also good to use two methods so maybe you should be on birth control also. You have to make sure that if the condom breaks or you skip a pill that you won't get pregnant. Are you ready for that responsibility? What if things get really heated and you forget to put on a condom?

Are you prepared if you feel different? Some girls feel weird,used,depressed, or dirty after having sex for the first time. Can you handle that if it happens?

Sex isn't a simple thing, it involves many choices and precautions and consequences. I urge you to consider all of it before doing it.

Besides, I've never heard of anyone who regretted waiting a little bit longer, just people who regretted doing it too soon.

If you make a promise with each other to wait for so long, like a year, then you will find out if he is truly dedicated and devoted to you. If he says no, then obviously he doesn't care about you as much as he should. The extra time will give you the chance to be closer to him, to learn more about each other, and to make your relationship strong WITHOUT sex. You may think you know him now, but from my experience I get to know my boyfriend a little more every day.

Whatever you do, please be smart and responsible. Give this a lot of thought, it's a big decision.

Good luck,

I am 17 and a straight A student. I was born blind but have had surgry and now i can see but only about 8ft in front of me.
I am terrible at math and im just trying to finish my senior year. Im in precalc and i havent been able to see the bored or over head my teacher is aware of my handycap but have yet to accomidate me. My mother and the principal have been notified and im really behind in all my work and i just dont know what else to do. The teacher is very tempermental and has waited to yell at me in front of the class even though when i have asked on my own time for a copy of the notes and when i could come in for tutoring. What more can i do???
Note both the teacher and my self are females. (link)
You aren't being treated fairly and you need to stand up for yourself.

I suggest having your mother call the principal and the superintendent. She must be firm and even a little angry. You deserve better. Once my father called my school in a situation where my math teacher was being innapropiate to me, it only took a day for action to be taken.

It may be best you get switched into another class with a more accomodating teacher.

Good luck,

so my bf and i have been gng out for awhile and everytime he comes to kiss me like french kiss i get all nervous and pull away and its starting to worry him. i know its stupid but its also starting to worry me..... any ideas???????? (link)
Don't worry so much about it. Tell him that you are kind of new at this and that you want him to teach you. Follow what he does and as you do it more the better the both of you will get.

Good luck,

Me boyfriend and I have been together for 3 months. We have gotten so so close and we have that type of relationship where we can be i guess you can say goofy with each other. I need help on what to get him for valentimes day... something that's not expensive like under $30.
any ideas? (link)
I got my boyfriend the luv pup pillow pet. It's
super cute and kind of goofy at the same time.

Get his favorite candy, or maybe bake him a treat and decorate it with pink, red, and white sprinkles/frosting.

Make a card with your inside jokes and make it sweet and funny. Show your personality and I'm sure he'll love it!

Good luck,

I'm 61 and have been in a lot of pain for a long time. I've spent thousands of dollars over several years on chiropractors. I have really bad gluacoma. I've been unemployed for several years and am probably considered unemployable. At least, I don't know how I could fit in anymore. I was collecting unemployment comp until it ran out in November, now I'm broke and my landlord wants me out.
I can barely get out of bed and into my pants. I am a lonely, sick, tired, depressed old man. I came here to find out how to end it all as painlessly as possible and I'm finding a lot of platitudes from religious people. I used to be somewhat religious and full of guilt but gave up on it a few years ago. I don't believe in hell. I want to end the suffering. Any ideas? (link)
Baby, it does get better.

Right now it seems like there is no where to turn and life isn't worth it. But that also means there is no where to go but up.

Why shouldn't you kill yourself?
First off, you are here now for a reason. If God, or destiny, whatever you believe, thought you shouldn't be alive, then you wouldn't be here. For some reason, unknown right now, you ARE here.

You could find a new purpose, find love, find happiness. It is possible for everyone, and I mean that.

You may not know it, but I bet there are people who would be heart broken if you killed yourself. Death is like throwing a rock into a pond; it creates ripples.

You mentioned religion in your question. Could this be God calling you back to him? I suggest going to your local church or temple or whatever religion calls to you. Talk to the priest. He wont turn you away. Perhaps the church can offer you monetary assistance as well as spiritual assistance.

Are there any family or friends that you can reach out to? Relationships are important, whether they be romantic or platonic. Try to re-ignite old bonds and even meet new people.

Do you have a bucket list? Now may be the time to make one. It will give you something to look forward to! Pick up a book you have been dying to read but never found the time to. You can lose yourself in the pages, and perhaps make a friend with a fellow fan at the library.

Take control of your health. My experience with a chiropractor left me worse off, so I would cut your losses and stop seeing one if they don't give you permanent relief of pain. Research diet plans and hollistic methods. These can be more affordable for you.

See what the government can do for you in terms of assistance, like food stamps, welfare, etc. Whatever you have to do to get back on your feet.

Please try to find hope within yourself. Things can and WILL improve. With faith, hope, and action you can turn your life around.

Good luck,

What is the best kind of nail polish brand to use for Water marbling? (link)
I watched a few videos and they featured Sally Hasen polishes.

I'm no expert but I've tried using an Ulta polish and a China Glaze polish together and it dried too quickly for me to create a design.

Abby I really need some advice! I'm sorry this will probably be long but I will definitely appreciate if you can help and I'll return the favor.

I'm 20f Ryan -19

So I met this kid Ryan through my best friend Joe. They played hockey together in South Dakota until Joe got released from the team. Ryan lives in the same state as me, he actually lives about 10 min from me. Anyways, I told Joe to put in a good word for me and after a couple of days me and Ryan started texting. This was in October. So Christmas came around and Ryan got to come home for a week. He said he wanted to see me and so I ended up going to his house twice while he was home for the week. It was incredible, he was so different than any other guy I've met. The only thing we did was made out. The thing I loved about him was that he always texted me first, not once did I ever text him. He basically texted me everyday and it was never an awkward conversation or boring. Then my friend and I decided we were going to take a road trip to see him for the weekend at the beginning of January because he said he wanted to see me, he's only 4 hours away. So we ended up going and saw him on a Thursday night, things were great we met a few of his teammates and we just cuddled, made out a little. Then Friday came and his parents ended up coming for the day which was fine, me and my friend found other things to do. He texted me before his game and then after his game Friday he texted me. Then Saturday came. He texted me before his game and then after his game he also texted me again but said he was with a few guys, but never invited us to come with him? Even though he knew I was there for him, and he was the one who wanted me to come. I was like whatever, me and my friend just ended up going in the hot tub then at the hotel. Well then I get a text at like midnight from a kid on Ryan's team, his name is Brent. I had met Brent Thursday night when I was with Ryan. Brent asked what me and my friend were doing and wanted to hang out, but it was obvious that he wanted to hook up with me. I thought, I better see how Ryan feels about this. so I asked Ryan if he was with Brent and he said no and I asked how he got my number and Ryan said haha I don't know he probably stole it from my phone. I said, well how do you feel about this and he said well if you want to hook up with him, go ahead. And I got really upset, you would think if Ryan really liked me he would be a little bothered his teammate was trying to get with me. I said, Ryan that's not what I want what the hell and he said I thought that's what you wanted me to say and I said no It kind of pisses me off that you don't even care and then that's when things just turned for the worse. He started saying I can't do this anymore it's pointless for me to talk to you when im in south dakota and your in minnesota. Then I was like what are you talking about and he was like I just don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to talk to a girl I can never see. Then he tried saying and I feel bad that I'm talking to you because I know Joe (my best friend that initially hooked me up with Ryan) likes you. Why don't you like joe he's a great kid. I said me and Joe will never work we're just best friend, and I want you Ryan. After that I just tried calling him because I didn't want to text about it, I wanted to know what was going on. Well he basically ignored me when I called and then ended up texting me saying your acting like i'm your boyfriend. I was like Ryan what's your problem your nothing like I thought you were then wow thanks. And he continued being mean and just confusing like well you have a lot of guys you can talk to there and I was like yeah whatever your just a jerk, and he never replied. me and my friend ended up leaving that morning to go back home. I balled basically that whole night. I didn't hear from him for like three weeks. I was sad, I didn't know what I did wrong and it's so weird going from talking to someone every day to not at all.

Then his teammate Mitch who is a cutie found me on facebook and we started talking, I gave him my number and said he should text me. So then about a week ago I get a random text from Ryan and some random number saying the exact same thing. It was just a bunch of random things. I texted Ryan back saying grow up. Then he was like your the one trying to talk to my buddies three guys have said you tried talking to them, but talk to mitch he's a great guy with a huge dick. I was thinking wow here we go again. I was like yeah ok Ryan I haven't said anything to your teammates, they are the ones texting me. And whats your problem i didn't do anything to you. and he was whatever your weird. i was like i'm so weird ryan..yep. and he was like ok and i was like can we please just be civil and try to at least be friends and maybe we can hang out in the summer when you come home and he was like ok cool and i was like whatever then if your gonna be like that then fine (i thought he was being sarcastic) and he was like be like what? and i said sarcastic like, i'm just trying to be nice ryan and he said so am i, everything's fine and i just said good. i haven't talked to him since. it's sad that i still think about him all the time hoping he will text me, but i just don't know whats going on. i still don't feel like everything's fine like he said. and his teammates said it's weird that he acted like that towards me because he's not like that at all and hes respectful when it comes to girls. And the thing that kills me is that he is even going to college here in the fall and he'll be home in the summer so i don't know what his problem is. It's hard just forgetting about him :( should i let it go? should i try to say something? i don't want to make him mad again, even though i dont know what i even did.

ugh, any advice? i'm so hurt, i just need some guidance i think. (link)
Hi Honey,

To me, it sounds like this boy is immature. Even though he's 19 I still think he's a BOY, not a man. He's with a bunch of guys all day on his hockey team, that doesn't really promote respectful behavior towards women. And he does have a good point, that it's hard to have a long distance relationship. It would be one thing if you started dating while you lived near each other and got to know him very well. Right now you don't know what girls he talks to, what he does, and if he would even be faithful.

I know it's hard to stop thinking about him because you liked him, but I don't think he is any good for you. If he was worth it, he would come to you and prove himself.

And as far as talking to his friends, I wouldn't do that either. They all probably talk in the locker room, and you don't want your name being thrown around. It's a recipe for disaster.

I think at least for now you should let this go and focus on other things. You don't need any of these boys, I'm sure there are plenty in your area who are willing to treat you right.

How do I get my muscles increasing in my arms (link)
Hello there,

So for your first question, the girl sounds like she may have some interest in you. Even if she doesn't 'like' you right now, it seems like she sees you as a possibility.

Secondly, talking to girls doesn't have to be that hard. Do it when you have a good chance, like when you are in class together or near each other at school. Bring up something you both have in common, like a teacher you hate or think its crazy, how the weather has been weird lately, or ask if shes going to the latest school event or party. After you get a conversation going you can ease into asking questions about her so you can learn about the girl, and share some of your interests like motor biking.

And lastly, you need to put in the hard work and exercise. You need to do some cardio, like running, swimming, etc. And you also need to work on your arms. You can lift free weights to start and then move to the gym to use the machines and heavy weights. You can also use resistance bands and do push ups.

Make sure you also have a good diet and get lots of protein, because thats what builds muscle.

Good luck,

ok so my junior prom is comming up. i fell in love with a dress but i cant find it anywhere. the dress is off of the vampire diaries when elena goes to the padgent. its blue, long, and super cute, but ive tried searching online and cant find it anywhere! maybe im just not looking in the right places. if someone could help me that would be amazing! please!

I looked at the picture of the dress, and it doesn't strike me as being from a major brand. Its very simple, it could be from a high end designer, a department store, or even made especially for the show.

Because it is a simple design, you could have it made for you by a dress maker. Generally this option is more expensive than purchasing it off the rack, but it does allow you to personalize it and have a one of a kind dress.

Here are some dresses that remind me of 'Elena's' dress:
