16/f


I play basketball && cheer. But when I was 15 I tore my ACL, and was out of sports for 9 months. Well since then, my left side of my body seems more curvier then the other.http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/lifestyle/2006-10/02/xin_3910030210205373181845.jpg
curvy like hers, and the other side is just pretty flat. I would like the curvy side to become like the other.
Here is what I try to do daily.
Eating
Eat breakfast(poptart & water)
Lunch(changes, but I always drink a juice)
Dinner(usually home made)
& I eat candy like once a month
Exercising
Basketball(&& two laps around the gym, which is running upstairs and down, our gym is a huge gym.)
Crunches on the exercising ball, then side crunches(to help with my little love handles)
Leg lefts and pushups.

Is there anything to add in to help get my one side none curvy? THANK YOU!

You can't pick and choose what part of your body you lose weight on. However, if you exercise and diet properly, you can lose weight. I wouldn't suggest having a poptart every day for breakfast. They're high in fat and sugar because they're a pastry. They do not have much nutrients. Foods high in sugar won't help you lose weight because sugar is stored as fat in your body. I would suggest having plain cereal, oatmeal, fruit, toast, etc. For lunch, try eating balanced. Maybe have a chicken salad, a sandwich of some kind, and fruits and veggies. Juice is also very high in sugar and calories, so if you want juice, stick to 100% fruit juices. Foods that are good for dinner are meat, chicken, fish, turkey, etc. with a side of a starch and a veggie. Drink lots of water throughout the day. For exercise, you seem to be on the right track. As long as you exercise a few times a week, you should be maintaining your weight. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

is there anywhere around chicago where they will pierce your bellybutton if you are under 18? because i'm almost 16 and when i turn 16 i can drive there and get it done.

k thanks

You have to be 18 to get your bellybutton pierced without a guardian's consent. Otherwise, you must bring an adult with you to sign.

Ok...well i dont know where to start exactly but here i go. It started at the beginning of november that i felt this way for this girl and what doesnt make sense is why i cant be with her because she has this guy that doesnt treat her right and doesnt pay attention.. but anyways ive been talking to her alot the pass 4 days and i could see from her how much she cares about me and she knows how much i care about her and i cant get over the fact thats what she has been feeling and said. im head over heels for this girl and ive told her everything and i feel like i can tell her anything. but whats keeping her from dumping her boyfriend and going out with me is that hes threatened to kill himslef and shes scared hes going to actually do it. but ive been told hes only saying it because he wants her to stay but i dont know what to tell her and i dont know what to do. haha im usually able to take care of this but im really stuck and ive been really depressed for the past 2 days because ive been worried about her and im scared of whats going on and im hoping everything is going okay but i dont know what to say to her now i just need help of what to do..

You need to talk to her about this again. This can be a completely serious situation. If he is threatening suicide, she needs to help him. This does not mean that she has to keep dating him though. She needs to talk to a parent or an adult. That might make the situation more dramatic, but it's for his safety. Try helping her through this. Encourage her to talk to someone. I wouldn't suggest you talking to him though, only because he might become more upset and it is her boyfriend, so she should talk to him. She shouldn't feel pressured to stay in a relationship, but since suicide is a very serious issue, he needs to get help. Talk to her and explain to her what she needs to do to fix the situation. She needs you right now, someone who can support her. Don't try to be dating her when she's in this position. I'm not saying you are, I'm just reminding you that she needs support and needs to get help for her boyfriend. She needs a friend more than anything. If you can't convince her to go and get help, then you should consider talking to an adult about it.

im taking monistat for a yeats infection....but why do you have to use it at night?

Monistat is best used at night, probably because you're sleeping & it won't be a bother or an annoyance to you. They do have Monistat Day or Night medication though.

so i have a pink ipod nano that is in really good condition, but it only holds 1000 songs. I have a lot more songs than that so i want to get a new ipod. so then i was trying to sell it for $100, which i thought it was a good deal because it is a $150 ipod. but i cant find find anyone who will buy it, because everyone i ask either already has one or wants one but doesn't have the money. Then this guy said that he wanted it, but he already has an ipod video that holds 75000 songs. but it doesnt make any sense to me because he is a guy, he wants a pink ipod that holds less songs and no videos? but he said that it would be easier to keep in his pocket and he doesnt have that many songs anyway. so he said that we should switch but i would have to give him $100 with it because his ipod is $250. Yesterday he came over so we could switch but his ipod was dead, so i couldnt tell if it was in good condition or anything, i was thinking why would he do that if it was in good condition? it looked good on the outside though. he said he would go home and charge it and take the songs off and come back today to switch. and when i said i would do the same he is like no no its okay, keep the songs on. so now i'm thinking he just wants my music that i payed for off of itunes?

im so confused i dont know what to do.
i'm sorry this was super long & confusing i just really don't know what to do!
thank you so much! :]

All of your doubts are legit. Why would he want a pink ipod, especially when he has one? Most likely he wants your music. Keep trying to sell it to someone else. Have you tried ebay? Check with your friends and see if they know anyone that would buy it. Ask if they have sisters or cousins that might want it. If you have any doubts, don't sell it. You want to make sure you don't get ripped off.

this might sound weird but
my ears are like super dry (inside i mean), they don't hurt or anything (not an ear infection!) but they are like just dry and bother me
i heard that you should put a bit of oil? but what's that about?

I would suggest seeing a doctor. Oil could help or it could make it worse. Since you aren't sure what exactly it is, ask your doctor. They'll most likely check for any infections or see why it's dry and prescribe you with something.

OK so I liked this guy for a longer period of time than I have ever liked anyone and I know it's not a big deal because I am young and all but ever since I got over him I am being hit on my alot of older guys and I am doing all kinds of crazy stuff (nothing illegal) just immmoral in my eyes. I asked another question that elaborates on this. SO am I doing this because I need to prove to myself I am over him or do I have an attention problem?

Getting over a guy is not easy. You have to sort out your feelings and realize who you really have feelings for. It could be either of those things. You may feel that you want to prove you don't like him anymore or that you want a guy's attention. The best thing would be to sort your feelings out. Don't rush and throw yourself on some guy because you want to move on too quickly. Try going on a few group dates and see how it goes from there. You'll know when you're ready for a new relationship with someone else.

I have sprint and will it show what time texts are sent on the bill and the text message?

Usually, yes. You can set it up on an online account to not show you certain things on the bill. I'm pretty sure the owner of your account would have to do that, so probably your parent/guardian or whoever has the account in their name.

most of my friends have the new aim. i have the old like..5.9 one. Should i switch? What are the benefits of the new one, and does it slow down your computer more. Does it have better virus protection also?!

thanks!

I honestly disliked every beta AIM. I always used AIM 5.9 but randomly I switched to AIM 6.5 to see what it was like. I like it so much better than AIM 5.9. It's not really slow, it's beta which makes it a bit different. What's cool is you can change the colors on your buddylist. You can also customize different things. It looks a lot more stylish. It does have grouping IM, which I personally dislike, but you don't have to use it. You can go into the settings & switch it to regular IM's which is what I did. I think AIM 6.5 is easier to use & just looks a lot nicer. Randomly, my AIM 5.9 would have an error & it would sign me off. No problems with AIM 6.5 so far. I think the virus protection is better because it's the newest version.

have you ever had an eating disorder? i'm bulimic and nobody really knows. if you've had this experience and have recovered or are trying please give me advice? i feel like theres always a cloud around my thoughts like i'm not thinking as clear as i used too. i hate my body, i freak when i gain weight, sometimes i'm even afraid to step on the scale. i binge and purge and fast and this has been going on for over a year. part of me wants help and sometimes i feel like i can't let go because it's become apart of me. if you've had this experience: how did you get help? what were the treatments? why and when did you realize you wanted/needed help? did/do you feel better after recovering/trying to recover?

even if you haven't had an eating disorder and you can answer some of the questions please do. i don't know what to do.

recently ive been gettin pretty involved with this boy i like no only physically but also emotionally we have been a thing for a couple months now but he hasnt made it official he talks to and seems to flirt with alot of girls which worries me that im being played i talked to him about it but he said im the only one he likes and he wants to be with me but i still dont understand and im really worried im going to end up in heartache becuase we havent really made any progress please help me out what should i do? do you think im being played?

Talk to him about it. No one knows him so we can't say if you're getting played or not. He does have a right to flirt with other girls since you guys aren't dating. If you really feel upset & uncomfortable by it, you should mention it to him & see if you guys can make things official. If you feel that he is playing you, you shouldn't try to start a relationship. It will end up hurting you more in the long run. You should try straightening things out. You should be friends or bf/gf. Anything inbetween becomes complicated.

How safe is it to download music from myspace? Because I just discovered it. I clicked a button and the song was in my itunes library in less than a minute.

It's pretty safe since it's uploaded on the site. After you download a song, try running a virus scan & see if anything comes up.

Sorry, might be long.
Well I really like this guy. He is my friend too though. Hes not in the same class as me (well im in grade 7, so is he). And then when he first came to our school, he was in like grade 4 and we were in the same class. He liked me. And grade 5&6, he liked my friend. Now I'm in grade 7, and this is when I like him.
So one day, me, my friend(the one tht he liked), and him were playing Truth,dare, or confession. And then he asked me, Who i wanted to slow dance with on the halloween dance. So i didnt respond, the next day after school (well he kept bugging me about it in school too), we both went on msn. And i finally told him. So hes like, omg. you like me? and im like. yeah.. and he didnt say anything.
Well I'm chinese, and he transferred to my class. And hes all talking to me, eye contact, and stuff. And at our chinese school, there is this bar, and i always sit on it with my friends and stuff. And then he comes and like sit right beside me. Then his hand is like a few inches away. Oh yeah, and forgot to mention that when we were playing TDC last time, my friend asked him first if he liked anyone and hes like No.
Now I feel like tht he may like me. But how do I ask him again who he likes. Since he already knows who I like.. And the Christmas Dance is coming up (I think..) ,
sooo. Any advice would help. =] thankiiies

Try being friends with him first. It would be a good idea because then you'll see what he's really like. Why not ask him to the dance?? You could go as friends also so it's not as awkward. You could meet him there & ask him to dance too. You could also ask him to hang out. If you don't want to go alone, go with your friends in a big group of people. He seems interested in you otherwise he wouldn't be doing any of those things.

I'm getting my haircut soon. I want to get my eyebrows done as well. I want to get it done on a school night, so my hair is done for the next day. Would it be a bad idea to get my eyebrows waxed for the first time when I have school the next day? I've tweezed them before, but never waxed. I just don't want them to be all red the next day at school.
Thanks.

I would suggest tweezing them on a weekend. For a lot of people, especially when they're getting them done for the first time, their eyebrows become really red & it's noticable. It doesn't last for days or anything, only a few hours, but since it is your first time, you might not want to just incase you have a reaction of some sort. Don't worry about it though. I would just suggest going on a weekend.

Does anyone know if it is safe to go tanning while being pregnant? I am not positive and I do not want to hurt my baby. Thanks in advance.

I would not suggest going tanning while you're pregnant. There's rumors that it's unhealthy & I think that should be enough for you to say that you probably should stop tanning until you have your baby. Here's a website-

You can also talk to your doctor.

what could you wear with this shirt, like would you wear a tanktop? or what what kind of shirt would you wear with it or what would look good with it?


http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_369585_-1_12630_12552

A tanktop or cami would definately look cute. If you look at the bottom of the page, they have a 'complete the look section'. Here are a few ideas from the website-

You can try either of those in whatever color you'd like. I'd try either white, tan, black, pink, light blue, dark blue, or a light green.

My 'best friend' is quite the controlling bitch, and she knows it. She lies and minipulates everyone but I don't bother fighting her because I know I won't win. Everyone loves her, everyone wants to be her friend. She knows everything about me and she's hardly mean to me because we've been best friends for years. However lately, she's been getting more and more into drugs and drinking and I can't talk to her like I used to. She's gotten a bunch of her guy friends to beat up an ex of mine because she lied and said my ex beat her up when he didn't.

I still love my ex and we're considering getting back together, but I know she would make my life miserable if I did because she hates him so much. I'm not sure what to do. I'm stuck between the guy I love, my best friend, and our so called friendship.

How can your "best friend" be bitchy & controlling?? Is she really your best friend if she treats you that way?? Obviously you have seen how she acts towards other people. You might want to take that as a red flag. If she can become that mean at someone, what would happen if you guys were constantly fighting?? She'd most likely get that way towards you. I think you should decide who's worth more friendship & relationship wise. If you're in love with him & you know he'll treat you appropriately, then stay with him. You shouldn't have to fix your love life around a best friend that isn't treating you as one. You should still talk to her about it though. Maybe she thinks you don't mind so she continues it. You should talk to both of them & see how you feel about the situation.
