Q: Does anybody know any good work outs to help tone you thighs to make them look nice and not flabby?
squates will diffinately help. if you dont know how to do them, you just have to make it seem as if you're sitting on a chair against the wall.
if you run a lot, or climb stairs a lot, then your thighs will tone out more since you're excercizing them.
working out with a stairmaster will also help you, they're amazing.

Q: ok, i here from my friends its ok, but im confused, are girls allowed to masterbate? like how many girls do? does anyone here? please help!
yessss, girls are allowed to masturbate, anyone is allowed to masturbate, and many girls do it, just not me because I'm only 14 and i think masturbating looks really painful. you shouldnt be worried because almost everyone masturbates or has masturbated atleast once in their life.

Q: Can someone please give me an intellegent answer to y people cut? It makes no sense to me. The only conclusion i have come to is mental/emotional weakness.
when someone has a lot of problems and issues and pain, they cut themselves so that they can focus on the pain that they just made themselves feel. it's hard to explain but, when you feel a lot of emotional pain, you don't really know where the pain is, and when you dont know where it is, it'll be harder for you to heal yourself. so if you cut yourself, you'll be able to focus on that specific spot that was cut instead of all the other issues you have to deal with. when you cut yourself, it puts your mind off everything else.

sry if it's confusing, but i hope i helped :)

Q: you know that new eminem song that goes 'the way you move it, I cant believe it, I aint never seen an Ass like that' Well when he says 'makes my pee pee go Da Doing Doing Doing' < what does that mean??
it means he gets a boner because he's horny. his pee pee is his penis, and "da doing doing doing" means his penis goes up aka boner

Q: are there any foods or types of foods that would help me lose some wieght?
yeah, like if you eat 3 servings of dairy products a day, it'll help you lose more weight. you should try yoplait light yogurt, they're really good, and they help you lose weight

but try not to eat ice cream, or other fattening dairy products because they'll make you gain more weight than you'll lose.

Q: At the moment, I am studying for my math exam. my teacher was nice enough to give us a study guide to fill out. I have a few things that I dont understand:
What is 39% of 500?
What percent of 64 is 3.2?
60% of 85 is what number?
What percent of 85 is 1.7?
What number is 150% of 26?
What i 40% of 400?

Not only do I not understand them, I dont know how to do them! So could someone PLEASE EXPLAIN ot me how to do them?
I used to have a huge problem with percents too, but here's how i do it:

39% of 500:

set up a ratio: 39/100 is ?/500. to get 500 from 100, you have to multiply by 5, so you have to multiply 39 by 5 to get the number, which is.. 195. so 39% of 500 is 195

40% of 400:

you can do this without using a ratio. if you divide 100 by 5, the quotient will be 20, multiply by 2 will give you 40, which is 40%. so you can try dividing 400 by 5, which gives you 80, and multiply by 2, which will give you 160.
you can also try diving the numbers by 10, or 2, or other numbers, but I think 5 is the easiest for this problem.

150% of 26:

if you turn 150% into a decimel, it will be 1.5. so 26 x 1.5 is 39, which is the answer. you could also try dividing 26 by 2 since 50% is 1/2, and the product will be 13. then you add 13 to 26 because it's asking for 150% of 26, and it'll give you 39.

there are many ways to work out percentages, but these are the only ways that I use. if you're still a little confused, just ask me for more help :)

Q: 16/f This summer I REALLY want to start eating healthier. I'm SO tired of fast food and soda. But I don't know what "healthy" is. You'd think a salad is healthy, even from fast food places and it turns out their salad has just as much calories as a big mac or w/e. So are there any snacks besides just plain fruits and vegetables. And something quick where I don't have to stand over a stove and cook. I only eat poultry, no beef, pork, etc. So maybe some vegetarian foods. What do vegetarians usually eat?
Thank you
i think a lot of vegetarians eat tofu and rice. you should try vegetarian sushi, or california rolls. they're so good, and the crab is immitated. there are some vegetarian restuarants out there, but I've never been to one. my friend is a vegetarian, and she eats things like penne pasta, yogurt, sushi, mashed potatoes, just things without meat

Q: Is 78 Pounds for a seventh grader underweigth?


thankyou in advance
yaa... i'm like 20 pounds heavier than that and I'm 13 in the 8th grade. my weight is normal for my age and height, but 78 pounds for a 7th grader is really really underweight



you're such a fuckin retard, it's not like i knew you were talkin about yourself you stupid little twig

Q: Im writeing a paper on second hand smoke and weather or not people should be aloud to smoke in public places ( resterunts, bars, amusment parks, ect. )and i need peoples opinioins..
if you think that they should banned public smoking or if you think that it should be aloud nd why (if you want).. i rate !! so help me if you have the time thank yaa!!
i think it should be banned because I hate cigarretes. I always get really annoyed when I'm walking down the street, and there's a person in front of me they're just smoking and I have to smell the smoke because I'm behind them. public smoking is really bad because they're polluting the already polluted air, they're hurting others with second hand smoking, and they're also hurting themselves. if they wanna smoke, they should go to a bar with other smokers.

Q: My friend, Allie, is my best friend..lol. but we once went on a field trip and we had to sit in an audatorium and she held out her hand as if we were to hold hands. :[ I dunno if she's a lezbian or not! She has had a boyfriend and she's dating this guy named Matt G. and its all weird. Cuz in chorus, we sing a song and we stand next to each other and the one part in the song says "come put your hand in mine, let's make the whole world shine" and she holds out her hand in front of me!!! (i kno its a retarded song) So..Does anyone think she's a lezbian? or am i wrong?
i really dont think she's a lesbian. i do a lot more things that make me seem like a lesbian, but i'm really not. some girls are just like that. maybe she just wanted to hold your hand, not in a sexual way, but just as friends. if you really do think she's a lesbian, try paying more attention to the things she does.. like see if she checks out other girls.. or if she sometimes acts like a man.. lol.. i really haven't met a lesbian yet, soo i dont kno how they're like. but trust me, your friend probably isnt a lesbian

Q: I got my period 7 monthes ago but im still getting discharge... does it ever stop!
it WILL stop, but not soon because since you got your period only 7 months ago, you usually get discharge everyday for the next 2 years. it's normal.. I get discharge almost everyday.
you just have a wait a year and a half and your discharge will get less. but even when you're like in your 20s or 30s, you'll still get a little discharge every now and then. it sucks, but there's nothing we can do about that..

Q: i AM punk...(i hate that punk, goth, prep thing but..its the only thing i could think of!) but i live in a small town with absouloutly NO stores with my kind of clothes and stuff. so everyone thinks im a stupid prep. so...does anyone kno any stores with punk clothes? thanks so much
hot topic and yellow rat bastard are stores filled with clothes for punks. you could also try pacsun, it has both preppy and punkish clothing. most punks just wear like dark clothes, baggy jeans, and big t-shirts. and many stores sell those kinds of clothes like macy's. you'll still look punk even if you didnt get your clothes from a punk clothing store

Q: Just as a poll what do you guys think about a 7th grader waering thongs, not me just thta my bff just starting wearing thme nad ithink there disgusting, so a qucik answer is all i ask of yes i think ther gross or no i love em and there approprate 4 13 year olds


Thnaks
they're appropriate for 13 years olds, and it depends on her body type. if your friend is too skinny, or chubby/fat, then it's really gross. if her weight is average and she's got a nice body, then it's totally hot and sexy

Q: okay well if u read this question you might think i'm lesbian. BUT I'M NOT I SWEAR! i'm straight as a straight line! it's just well i compare myself to other girls if they have something and i don't. like boobs or a butt or really skinny! and i really need help to STOP because i DONT want people to think i'm lesbian! CUZ I'M NOT! i think there nasty people! but i need help to stop comparing!
dont worry, all girls are like this. I compare myself with other girls too, and all my other girl friends compare themselves with other girls too. no one's gonna think you're a lesbian because it's totally normal. and if you want to stop comparing yourself with other girls, just sont look at their body parts. it really shouldnt matter because other girls are probably comparing you with themselves

Q: Ever heard of Proactiv? Does it work? Where can you get it?
yaaa i use it, and it really does work. and I bought it online on proactiv.com
sometimes they sell it on stands in a mall, well atleast they sell it in the mall near where I live.

my friend used proactiv, and she said it didnt help her at all. I guess results very from person to person, but I think you should give it a try. they have this 60-day risk free trial, so like if it didnt work for you, then you can return it 60 days or less after the purchase and they'll refund your money

Q: okay i just got a mini ipod and i have limewire and all the songs i wanna put on it but how do i put them on after i connect the ipod to the computer? do i need a special programm?
umm.. you just need a program that lets you play music. I use real player, but you can also use windows media player or other stuff.
you need to connect the ipod to your computer, and if you're going to use real player, go to burn/transfer, and click on add new device on the left side of the player

Q: my whole body isnt that fat except my stomach. i hate my stomach cause its fat.. what are some GREAT exercises i can do to make it flat ?
you should definately try doin crunches. when I first started doin crunches, I was only able to do 20 each time and it was really painful. now like after 3 months, I can do atleast 200 each time. my stomach is much nicer now. my friend also had a fat stomach, so i told her to do crunches. and like after a few weeks, she told me that she definately saw results and that her stomach was smaller.

try it because I'm sure that it'll tone your stomach if you do it everyday

Q: OK , my birthday is coming up and I really want to get my belly button pierced. But I don't know if I should because I don't want people to call me slutty and the big thing is, IM AFRAID IT WILL HURT LIKE HECK! Does it? If anyone knows , please answer my question ASAP because I need an answer quickly.
ooo cool, I have a belly button pierce. and when I got it, people didn't think i was slutty. they thought it was cool and attractive. you should definately get one.

it didnt really hurt, like maybe it was really painful for 2 seconds or so.. but it really wasn't a big deal. the whole process took less than half a minute, and ya..

dont be scared because life is all about takin risks

**my bday is coming up too.. in 2 weeks.. :)
Happy Early Birthdayy!!

Q: ohk i have a bad case of ashy elbows ... anyhome remedies to make them less dry ?? thnx
i think i read somewear that if you apply lemon juice, or like rub lemons on your elbows, they'll become softer therefore, less ashy.

if that doesnt work for you, try like cocoa butter lotion which is awesome, or petroleum jelly
