is it better to do crunches all at the same time, but like do 20 crunches then do 20 crunches and so on.. or do it throughout the day? i do my crunches at the same time and do about 60 crunches, but i rest in between about a minute
It's alright to do crunches that way but you should do them once in the morning and once before you go to bed because I've found that to be much better and it helps. You can stay, doing crunches at the same time because there's nothing wrong with that but you can change the way you do them.

does stretching help you grow taller?
Nope, stretching doesn't help you grow taller, it just helps you not to pull any muscles when you exercise or do anything physical. I have never heard any stretches that make you grow taller so it's just the way your body develops that makes you grow taller.

HELP!!
I am totally in love wif this guy in ma class which i fine the only problem ma best m8 hoo i have known since i was 3 fancies him 2 and i dont want to give up my best m8 but this guy keeps talkin 2 me and she keeps givin me these dirty looks and i havent told her that i like him. Plz Help Me !!
You need to talk to your friend and tell her that this guy has been talking you lately and that she shouldn't be giving you dirty looks, just because he has been talking to you. If you have been friends with her since you were 3 years old, you should tell her how you feel about this guy and she should understand and if she gets mad, she will eventually get over it. Tell her that it's not your fault that this guy has been talking to you and that she shouldn't be mad at you for that and she should stop giving you dirty looks. If you don't want this guy to come inbetween you and your friend, you both need to stop liking him because friends come before guys.

how do u get crabs to go away??
To get crabs to go away, you need to go to a doctor or to your local pharmacy and get special shampoos and lotions that will treat crabs. Once you get treated and such, you should wash your sheets, clothes, and anything that you have worn or had contact with. If you got crabs from your boyfriend or who ever, make she he gets treated too so you won't get reinfested. Click on this link to learn more: http://www.laglc.org/std/STD02.4.htm.

Can someone please explain to me what carbs and calories are and the difference between them?
I thought this would be pretty simple to answer but it's not. Well, the difference between carbohyrdrates and calories is that carbohydrates give your body energy and calories produce energy and heat, kind of. Carbohyrdates are a compound of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which is important for your body and calories are an energy-producing property of foods. Just type in "Calories and Carbohydrates" in a Google or Yahoo search and a lot of pages will come up. Sorry if this is confusing to understand.

im a 16/f and im satisfied with my breast size. I dont want them to get any bigger though. Is it possible to control the growth? Or do i have no control over it? I d ont want them getting as big as my moms breasts..thats a little too big for me.
Nope, it's impossible to stop and control the growth of your breasts. It's normal for some girls for their breasts to grow for a long time. If you think that when you get older that your breasts are too big and they are making you have a back ache, get a breast reduction. You can try talking to a doctor about this and they might help you out.

I have a simple question that I can't find the answer to. In the middle school I go to they have a P.E. class. In P.E. class we do jumping-jacks. What do jumping-jacks help you build? Your arms, legs, stomach, or something?
Jumping jacks just get you pumped up basically and they help build muscle, well sort of, in your arms, stomach/abdomen, legs/thighs, and really nothing else.

I'm a thirteen year old female. Recently Iv'e started eating super healthy. When I'm at home eating the food there, or eating foods with nutrition information I'm fine, but whenever I eat at someone else's house or eat out and the food served looks fattening or sugary I panic. I don't know whats in it and so on. Sometimes I make up excuses for not eating things. My friends jokingly said I was anorexic before. That didn't bother me. However, now they have started to say it seriously and my own mum said I was eating in an anorexic way. I know people suffering from anorexia have poor self image, but I think I am at a perfect weight. Please tell me if I am anorexic or not. Honestly.
You aren't anorexic at all, you just have poor eating ways and habits. It's alright to eat foods that are sort of fat, but just watch what you eat and exercise when you get home so you won't feel as though if you have gained weight. If you are anorexic, you basically don't eat at all and it takes time to become anorexic. You eat while you are at home so you aren't anorexic. If you don't want to eat at someone's home besides your's, why don't you bring a healthy snack with you so you can eat that if you don't want to eat their food? Just tell your friends and your mom that you aren't anorexic, you just have poor eating habits. I used to be just like you but now I am eating more often, in a healthy way. Just ignore your friends and your mother's opinions about you and things will get better.

I am with this fabulosooo guy he is AMAZING! and i told him that i wanted to have sex with him.. and it was magical.. but his penis was a bit big.. ok it was HUMONGOUS! i mean i have gone down his pants and all but i really didnt see it .. soo i was a bit nervous and i was thinking he was to.. so we started having sex and i was moaning heavley and having major orgasims.. soo then all of a sudden i felt a bit uncomfortable and realzied that his penis was stuck in my vagina!!! yea i no gross but its true and worst comes to worst he was getting really really excited.. but dont worry we got it out i calmed him down.. soo now i have an infection and its really starting to get bad.. i need to tell someone about this soo i can get it treated.. i cant tell my mom.. IM ONLY 14! shell KILL MEE!!.. what should i do i cant risk my health but i cant risk my relationship with my mom and my boyfriend.. help me its urgent!
Umm, well you can try asking a friend who is older than 18 to go to the doctors with you so you can get a prescription for this infection. You can also get some over-the-counter creams too and a pharmacy such as CVS or Walgreens. You should tell your mom but tell her that you have a yeast infection so she can then bring you to the doctors but she doesn't have to come inside with you, since you have a private policy with the doctor and he/she cannot say anything to your mom without your permission. You need to risk your health and it won't ruin your relationship with your mom and boyfriend if you do everything right.

Hey. I'm a cashier at a store thats like Linens and Things. Its my first job (i'm sixteen) and I've realized that its not the kind of job I want. I don't like the fact that its a big place and its busy allll the time. I enjoy interacting with my co workers. At my place, I feel like I can't do that. We're all busy helping out the customers, which is good... but I feel like I don't know the people I work with well. What are some good places to work at, where you're working...but you still have opportunities to get to know your co-workers? Preferably not a fast food restaraunt, a grocery store, or big places. I want something small and fun. I was thinking about working at a tanning salon?? Does anyone have any good ideas?
You could work at clothing stores such as American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale, and so on. You can get to know your co-workers while you work at these types of stores. Working at a tanning salon is a good idea. You can also work at a pizza resturant, it's not a fast food resturant if you think about it. It's all up to you; try getting applications from stores that you think would be a good place to work at and you can then decide on which store that you want to work at.

hey im just wondering, if u cut is it like wrong.. is it that big of a deal.. if its not for attention it just helps you deal with yourself then does it matter? do you need help if you do cut?
Yes, cutting is wrong and it is a big deal because there are other ways to fix your problems and such without cutting. You can talk to your friend or a conselor and they will help you. In my opinion, it is a big deal, even if you cut like once in a while but you really shouldn't. You need to get help if you do cut because one cut could take your life. That's what I tell people that I know who do cut and they take that as consideration and they try to stop by that phrase.

what can i say beside "sorry" to make my friend forgive me for lying to him??? can some one help me please???? i really need to talk to him again but he will not listen to me and he will not even look at me any more!!! i cant take it!!! i really want him back as a friend!!!! thanks to anyone that can help me! and see i didnt mean to lie to him thanks anyway!
What was your reason for lying to this guy? Talk to this guy and tell him that you never meant to lie to him because you had a reason to and explain that to him. If talkin to him in person doesn't work, write him a letter, explaining your apology and reasonings of lying to him. Tell him that you want him back as your friend and that you need him to listen to you.

well i know this may sound weird but me nd my boyfriend were arguing ! we started dating the 31st of Decemeber nd our 2 month is rolling around but there isnt a 31st in February? how do you celebrate an anniversary if that date isnt there ?
You celebrate it on March 3rd, since there is a three day difference so you can just add three days to February 28th. Or you can celebrate it at the end of the month if you want to. Just celebrate it whenever it's a good time for the both of you.

every time i run the mile for P.E. i get these painful cramps while running and even if i stretch before running i still get cramps. what type of stretches should i use to prevent the cramps?
To prevent getting cramps when you run, try drinking water before you run and that will help you. When I used to run, I would get cramps too and I found out that I was breathing wrong like when you're running and I changed the way I breathed and I never got cramps. Just breath through your nose and not through your mouth and that will help. Before you run, try to eat something so you can get some nutrients in your body.

ok theres this boy i really like and i have a feeling he likes me to but he also seems as shy as me even though he seems to hide it bettr than me. But to the point. Ok i really like him and i want to say something to him even if its just "hi" but the thing is when i do see him my mom and my friends mom is there and they always watch us so its really embaressing and then i ignore him when i dont want to!! plz help!!!
You need to talk to your mom and tell her that you don't want her around you when ever you are hanging out with someone or just talking to them because you feel that you are being watched and you are by her. If that doesn't help, just try to get away from your mom and just tell her that you need to go somewhere really quick and then go talk to him. If you have AIM, you can IM him online and then think of a way to meet each other and talk that way.

if sperm touches your vagina,(& may have gone in a little..) is it possible to get pregnant?
Yes, it's definitely possible to get pregnant if sperm or cum touches your vagina. Even if it doesn't actually go inside your vagina, sperm moves around and will go inside your vagina.

i know this girl who goes to another school who is my absolute bff and she had a girl sleepover this night and that girl absolutly hates me! and she told me how much people talk behind my back and how fat and ugly i was and it really is hurtng my feelings b/c i never really did anything to her until tonight when i called her a bitch and now i just feel so emotional and i just feel like telling my best friend that if she wants to be friends with her she could be but she won't find me talking to her anymore. so i'm really confused and don't know what to do anymore
What you told you friend was a very good thing because it goes to show that you don't want to hang out with her friends that are mean to you and that you should think before she makes these kind of friends. You need to talk to your friend and tell her about how you feel about this friend that she has made and explain to her what she says and does to you. Tell her that you will still be her friend and will talk to her but you aren't going to hang out with her when this friend of her's is around. It's alright to feel confused about all of this but you just need to talk to your friend and explain everything.

Okay... i am 14.. and I was just wondering how old do people think is TOO OLD??
I think that anywhere between 65+ is too old for me. There are a lot of people who are 50 years old and they look younger than their age. Everyone considers different ages that is too old for them but it matters about your opinion and what you think is too old.

OKAY, someone made a s/n almost exactly like mine and is telling me that im gonna get my ass kicked ass school but they wont tell me who they are and is putting up stupid away messages such as: "having sex for money"
and tellling me that my boyfriend is cheating on me and stuff. and she says that i've been mean to her in school. but i have no idea who it could be because im not really a mean person.. what to do?! lol
There are a few things that you can do. One being that you can start, saving all of your coversations with this girl who is harassing you and then take them to school because at my school, there is a new rule, stating if anyone is harassing you through IM, they can then get in trouble if you have proof and such. You can also have friends watch you so you won't get your "ass kicked ass school." You should probably make another, new screen name, and only give it out to people who you talk to and tell them not to give your screen name out without your permission and such, that should work. Talk to your parents and tell them that someone is harassing you online and that you want it to stop. This will stop, if you just ignore this for now and if it somehow continues in school, talk to your principal or guidance conselor. People are just really dumb and taking their time, making a screen name and harassing people, don't you say?
