HEY EVERYONE, I'M KAT!
and i'm here to help :)
i love to give advice, and i've been told that i give some good advice, aswell.
i'm very dedicated once i get involved in someone's problems, and i'll probably make sure you're okay, and that my answer has been sufficent.
i don't 'sugarcoat' my answers, as just about every columnist on this site complains about, but i do present everything in a way that people will be able to handle, and relate to in their situation.
i could honestly care less about ratings, i just wanna help some people out. in my problems, current and past, i seek help through my friends, who i adore.
i'm a huge my chemical romance fan, and i know pretty much everything about them; so if you have a question on them, i'm here. go for it. ;)
i'm unique in my own way, so ask me for something, and i'll give you a fairly different answer.
XOXO
KAT!

alright so i asked a question a while ago on "do squats really benefit your legs?"
well i was just wondering if anyone knew how long it would be till i saw any change...say i was doing like 200 a day?
thanks so much (link)
|
200 a day is very much for squats!!
That sounds good though for immediate results, htough!!
I encourage this, and may even try it.
You should start seeing a slight change after about two weeks, if you're dedicated and also eat right.
Good luck!

my cat is like, 5 months old, and she is gray and fluffy with big green eyes. cute, right? well she wont quit biting me and climbing all over me. i know shes playing around, but i just wanna know, is there anything i can do to calm her down??!! I HAVE BITE MARKS AND SCRATCHES ALL OVER MY HANDS!! (link)
|
This is very natural for the cats age. She'll grow out of this eventually. My cat was just like this, she used to attack my feet when I was lying in bed! Ha, but I would reccomend either giving her cat nip to wear her out, or giving her a ball to play with.
Good luck!!
((Also, possibly wear gloves if you're playing with her))

Me and my cousin has this "friendship" going on ..she told me that she was full in love with a guy that I happen to know because he was my neighbour back in the days..I DON'T LIKE THE GUY!!!!! he is a player for far as I know him ...I tried to tell her but she is blind ,she even slept with him many times ...Yesterday my sister told me he was trying to hit on another cousin of us
How do I tell my cousin this ?
Is there a gentle way to tell her ..or should I never ever tell her and let her findout herself ...doesn't that make me a bad friend/cousin?
(link)
|
I think you should straight out come out and tell her.She really needs to know, before she gets hurt.
Sit her down, maybe even make a joke out of it, but make sure she gets it and knows what kinda guy he is.
Good luck!
|
do you think this would be an efficiant workout to do to lose a few pounds in about a month? i'd probably do it about 4 times a week.
:100 jumps (like jump roping without the rope lol)
:50 bicycles
(then do that again & again for 10 mins straight)
:then dancing for 10 mins to hip hop or something
do you think that that would help me burn a little bit of extra fat from my thighs and lower back/sides?
thankss (link)
|
This sounds like a very good system!!
It sounds like good cardio, which will make you sweat.
You should burn some fat by doing this, just make sure you keep a healthy diet, and remember NOT to skip meals, it slows your metabolism.
Good luck!

after high school, i'm going to move to italy for a year or 2 to stay with my relatives who live there. i really want to learn italian! i'm going to take online classes for college for those 2 years because i don't want to fall behind. are online classes easier or harder than normal ones and can you do it if you temporarily are living in another country? (link)
|
I think they would be harder to understand things, but that would help you learn more.
I think the best way to learn a language, is to put yourself environment where you REALLY need to learn the language.
Try going to a class where they grade you, so you're required to learn, it will really help!
I would also say, you should try to learn oen phrase per day!!
Multo Amore,
Kat

my friend always tells me how everyone tells her shes sooo pretty. & like it gets annoying. & like im not jealous, because twice as many people tell me im pretty. so its not like im jealous. i just dont go around telling people, what other people say to me. like she does. so how can i make her stop?? besides saying like i dont care. bc i already tried that.. & well right now i just did & i can tell its turning into a fight. soo yahh
help? (link)
|
I really don't like when people act like this.
Maybe, the next time she says something, act playful and roll your eyes and say "yes, I know, I know, youtold me!!"
You can act like you're kidding, but she shoudl get the point, even if you have to do this a few times.
Just make sure notto break her confidence, its rare to find a kid with confidence these days! lol
Good luck, though!

ok lately all this stuff has been going on in my life wich sux cuz my life finally got normal again i was always good at dealing with stress but this time i think it has gotten to me i cry like alot and i wanna cut my wrists and i go through mood swings alot and i am lways tired and i am even pushing away my best freind sm seriously depressed do i need to get help or am i normal for my age 13/f and if i need help how do i get it cuz like i said my family is all going through alot i dont want to stress them out even more (link)
|
Well, it could be because of hormones, they really kick in at this age, as you probably have heard.
Just, please, please, please, don't hurt yourself. It helps with nothing, and it may seem like it does at the time, because it relives stress, but then the stress just comes right back, because cutting is not a permenant, but temporary stress reliever. Then, cutting causes even more issues with friends and family.
If you feel the need to do this, just snap your wrist with a rubberband, draw on your wrist with a marker, or exercise ((you'll feel the burn and it relieves stress))
The best way to not stress your family//friends out, is to not do anything to stres them out. Don't concentrate on the sad thoughts, because that will just make youf eel sorry for yourself. Concentrate on being happy, and let your friend be there fory ou, it will make youf eel alott better!!
Good luck, and write//email me if you need something!

does anyone know if doing those squats really benefits to your legs??
if so, how many should i be doing?? any tips?
thanks so much (link)
|
squatting is VERY beneficial for the legs, probably more in your upper leg area. I would reccomend starting at 10 reps, and then adding five a night.
Good luck!!

what is the special k challenge and what are you suppose to lose by doing it? (how much weight, inches in your waist and for how long?) (link)
|
The special K challenge is where you replace two meals with a healthy serving of special K, usually with skim milk.
I'm pretty sure you lose two inches, but I could be wrong.. oh, darn, we just threw that box away!! hah .
Well, good luck!

Alrite im 17 almost 18 in October && female.
im about 30 pounds Over weight & im dying to have thatt dream body. Im not Actaully fat. I carry it good i guess you can say. But the fat is in all the wrong places. Thighs & butt & stomach.
I bought this oxygen magazine. Its exercises that give you that total body workout & you can see amazing diffrences in 30 days. I know im not going to lose all my extra weight in 30 days but i hope to lose quite a bit.
Im pretty much willing to do what it takes to lose this weight. Im going to start these exercises soon.
I love to run but it doesnt say anything abut running. I want to run but ill have to do it earrly morning say around 6-7am. I have a soccer field behind my house that ill run around. About how many times do i run around it?
------------------------------------------
Onto foods.
this is the meal plan in this magazine.
meal 1:
1banana, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup oatmeal.
meal 2: a shake of 2 scoops protein powder mixed with 1/2 cup low-fat milk.
meal 3: 2 cups lettuce with 2 tsp each olive oil & vinegar & 4oz chicken breast.
meal 4: 1 oz. almonds & 1 peach.
meal 4: 1/2 cup asparagus, 1 cup brown rice & 4 oz turkey.
meal 5: 1/2 cup light yogurt & 1 oz. walnuts.
---Its that like everything youll eat in one day or is that just ideas?
i know its kind of alot of questions but i really appreciate it. && anything you would like to add to help me out i would appreciate also.

Alright.. exercise maching sounds good..running sounds great, and I would reccomend 2-5 laps, ifyou've got the time. Maybe increase the laps week by week..((that's what we do in cheering)). Running is very good for you, too, because it's good cardio.
The diet sounds veryyy good, and it should be all you eat.. I'm pretty sure at least, hah.
And, the date I would start the diet if I were you.. as soon as possible!! If you want quick results, you should start this as soon as possible so you'll see more results at the end of those thirty days.
Good luck!!

i need advice on moving back with my mom.. i cant take this anymore.. i need answers from people with ideas of excaping my parents ..im not trying to say anything bad.. but i am really depressed unless im with my mom again!!!!! i know this sounds kind of bad because i want to get rid of these people in my life.. but let me explain:
they made me get adopted to them 3 years ago when i was 12..ive been on hold with my life ever since..so i need help..major help!! i dont want any answr about trying to get along with my adopted female and male guardian....i just want to know if there is any way to excape...without being in trouble...if there is no way you can help.. my life is totally ruined...i rather be dead than to live with these people..just saying.. I CAN"T TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! (link)
|
First off, talk to them about this. Write a note, at least if you can't do the talking part, or if they wont let you get your word in.
Suggest that they talk to your real mom about the situation. Maybe you could go to a court to get her custody?? I know that's what you'd do in a divorce situation, andyou're almost old enough to be choosing anyways.
Please, if this dosen't work out, though, realize that you're almost at the age to be moving out anyway, so you can choose to live with your mom or not. (almostt)
Make sure you at least talk to your mom as often as possible if this dosen't work, it will help!!
Write my email if you need anything!!

i really need help making friends..i dont know anyone at school this year and i dont know at all how to make new friends...what should i do..i need a detailed answer please..it would be easier for me if i was happier..i mean living with my mom...but no one cares (link)
|
Okay, since I'm shy, too, I'll tell you how I made the awesome friends I've got now.
First and probably most important thing to do is to be friendly to EVERYONE no matter what they look like. Smile to people in the halls and in classe. Compliments will start conversations.
Also, ask questions to students if youget the chance, and when you talk, be very kind, it will make them more attracted to you.
Jokes are also good. =D
Good luck!

my best friends birthday is coming up, and i have not idea what to get her. the thing is, that i usually get my friends 20 dollars and vice versa. but she got me somereally nice, and it cost a lot of money. she got me a heart shaped picture frame with a picture of me and her in it, with my name ingraved, and the date and it was 80 dollars..
So far I'm giving her a Geauga lake ticket, and the next day shes going with me to geauga lake.
Any ideas that i can give her that are nice, yet not super expensive? (link)
|
Maybe get her out of her house and make a little resteraunt type looking thing there. Then, you can order out or make her a special dinner or something.
Maybe take pictures of you guys while you're at whatever it is that you're going to ((lol, sorry, I think it's ballet, but I'm not sure)) then put together a HUGE collage of that and many other pictures.
People ADORE things like that!!
Good luck!

I babysit my cousins who all love attention. Theres three of them and it's hard to give them all attention. What can I do to keep them busy while paying attention to all of them? (link)
|
Try little games that you can all play together.
Maybe something like duck, duck goose...tag.. hide and seek..
things that involve groups.
Maybe arrange a little play that they all get a part in??
Good luck!!
Maybe even have friends over who can help you with giving attention lol.

I race BMX and this weekend I fell and hurt my wrist pretty badly. It looked like a broke my arm so I went to the hospital and they x-rayed my forearm and said everything was fine. The next day my wrist started swelling up and it hurts to even touch it the lighest bit but I can move it. Does anyone know what I could have done to my wrist? (link)
|
YOu most likely have sprained it very minorly. That would explain the swelling and pain =D
Practice moving it, and it should be good soon.

You're THIRTEEN and this is going on!? That is such a serious issue!!
PLEASE, first off, tell people about these kids who are doing this. Not only your parents and the police // or a teacher, but also your girl friends so they're not at risk.
I can't see why they would do something this horrible, and all of them at that, maybe you're timid or shy so they think it's okay? Are they all from the same group of friends? If so, don't date from that group.
Try to stay away from they guys who seem angry easily.
PLease, feel free to message me at my advice site ((myspace.com/askdee))
or email me
xo_graziano_ox@hotmail.com
Also, ask your friends about what guys seem nice. Dont' go for the good looking guys all the time, maybe the ones who aren't are kinder?
Good luck, and please please tell someone, you don't deserve this!

OH MY GOSH, SHE IS SUCH A SNOOP. I HATE IT AND I CAN'T STAND HER! SHE SHOULD REALLY GET A LIFE AND LEAVE ME ALONE! SHE'S SUCH A B*TCH. I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! SHE HAS EMBARASSED ME AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I WANT TO RUN AWAY! I'M JUST SOOOOOO UPSET.she has got to read everything that i do/write. and i told her not to go on there, she logs on. and i can't change my password because she'll have a fit. help? i can't take it anymore
(link)
|
I'm assuming I know who you're talking about.. so I'll just write towards who i think it is.
I would say you should earn her trust. I've had this problem. Do NOT run away though, you'll most likely be found and things get worse.
Make sure you dont' do an ything bad for a while. Earn her trust by doing this.
Email me if you need anything. Or go to my advice website

hey! 16/f
i might be having a couple people over tomorrow! i have a trampoline but that will get very old very fast and i dont know what else we could do! because my friends need to be entertained 24/7 they get bored easily and there will be a couple boys but my parents will be home! we cant go anywhere because my car is in the shop getting fixed so yeah what could we all do because im going to feel bad if they are like ok this is boring what should we do.. (link)
|
Music is a very key factor. lol.
Try blasting it, and everyone can freestyle.
Maybe set up a photo shoot and take 100 s of pix!! That's always fu n. Trampoline pix are good too.
overall, act really dumb, that's always fun. I also suggest playing man hunt. If you haven't played that before, it's a game like extreme hide and seek. A few people are it, and then theothers scatter EVERYWHERE and do ANYTHING possible to hide.
ha, I hope you all have fun!!

everyone says to lose the fat you have to do cardio and i need some good ideas that work quickly and well cosz i have muscles just their uderneath the fat so plese ideas? thanks. (link)
|
The number one thing I recommend when working out is to have friends with you. That makes it 10x more fun.
Try watching a dance video and trying to learn the dance.
Run up and down your steps 20 times without stopping.
Do jumping jacks ((no, really, they make you sweat if you do enough))
Anything that will make you sweat is really good =D
