i have been trying to do crunches for about 3 weeks and my stomach didnt really get any smaller. does any one know how many crunches to do in a day or does any one know what other techniques that will work to get a flatter stomach
Do 4 sets of crunches. Like do 15 and then take a like 15 sec break then do the next 15 and stuff. I did it for like 2 weeks and i lost 10 pounds but it depends on the person my stomach didnt get much smaller cuz it was only 10 pounds but maybe if you do it for like 2 months it will get smaller good luck! :D!
I started cutting my self about a year, and I just did it to see what it felt like and to maybe finally get some attention from my mom and now I cant stop... its like after every little argument I have with her I have to go up to my room and cut my self or it doesn’t feel right. I have tried to stop and I have even made promise to people but I just don’t know what to do any more it seems like its getting out of control and I don’t want to have to go see a therapist because I don’t know if I could come out and say I have a problem so basically I’m just asking what I should do...?
Well first take away all ur sharp objects!! And try as hard as you can everytime you feel like cutting scream in a pillow kick a soccer ball go running something like that. Maybe you can talk to the school's councelor. Just have one oppointment and then u dont have to go again. Talk to your mom and tell her that i know this sounds weird but if you dont mind i would like just alittle more attention. Ok well good luck and dont cut!
my friend always steals my friends. like just recently i started talking to this girl anna* and she goes and starts talking to her and they are good friends..well sorta and it pisses me off! and last year i met this guy jack* and we became BEST friends (still are) and whoa hey, shes friends with him all of a sudden! wow! what a surprise..not! ugh i know i sound selfish but it annoys me..like she has to have everythign i have and its starting to get to me! plz help
Wow thats really mean of her well maybe she feels left out that you are going to hang out with somebody else but her. Maybe you should talk to her and ask her if she doesnt mind backing off but say it nicely. Good luck and im sorry about her.
I really hate to sound stupid...but I'm new.

Are you suppose to wash your hair everyday?Not Because I wash my hair everyday.Someone told me It like ruins the hair or bad for it.Thanx
You should wash it every other day. I washed it ever day and it got all strawy so i washed it every day and now its nice and smooth. Use a shower cap on the days when you dont wash it. Good luck hope i helped ;).
Okay. I used to go to private skool 2 years ago. Me and this guy really liked eachother and we went to the skool dance together. I now go to public skool and I like this guy. The guy from private skool sent me an email today saying that he truly likes me. But
I think the guy from the public skool likes me too. Which one should I choose?
Ok Im going to call the prive school kid bob and the public school kid joe. Ok well this always helps me. Get one peice of paper and divide it and right joe on one side and bob on the other. write the good things of both of them. Then get a new peice of paper and divide it and right joe and bob on the top and write the bad things about them on it. Then whatever you do dont listen to your friends about it but listen to your heart your the one making the choice not them. Dont worry and listen to your heart thats the one that counts. best of luck!
Hi, I'm 13 years old, and i recently started cutting. Don't think " I'm a physco Freak " or whatever you want to call me. My Friend introduced me into it. She said it really helps. so one day i was really angry, i was crying and all, and i cut all up and down on my arm/wrist. To me, i felt better, but just the next day it hurted. From then on, i have been cutting myself all the time when i am mad. the last time i did was actually last night. I use " Scissors , Razors , Saftey Pin , or any sharp objects round the house " . my mom saw my arm by acident, and i told her i fell on a side walk. well my friends are so worried about me. they think im ganna end up killing myself, because i almost did. i really do hate my life even if i have friends and a boyfriend. i JUST hate it, and i think sometimes i was just a mistake, that i ruin other people lives. well i dont know, if i should continue, and and my friends upset, or not, and stay here. I DONT KNOW?! its just really hard to stop though, cuz im so addicted to it. EHH` . what should i do ? thanks . if you wanna i.m. me on AIM ; BlinkBabex33 .. or you can email me ; BlinkBabex33@comcast.net
What ever you do dont kill yourself. If you want to talk to a school conceler try to figure out if they will tell your parents or not. If they do find a friend who is reliable and talk to her about it. I think you should stop cutting yourself take away all your sharp objects and when ever you feel like cuting just scream into a pillow or kick a soccer ball or something. And dont worry things will get better. I know it seems helpless now but they will. Your have a family, friends and a boyfriend and they all love you so much. So think if you killed your self or continued cutting your just not hurting yourself you hurting them too. If you ever need anything at all you can talk to me on my advice site. And hang in there!

Sorry this is long but i'm really confused about what this dream means..her it is:
I was at this place that i had supposedly walked to from my house. It was completley empty except for one or two mirrors on the wall. I saw this guy that i know named Eric standing next to me and he was hugging me and we were looking in the mirror. Then all of a sudden i had to go, then as soon as i said that he disappeared. I had to get the keys to lock the doors so i ran upstair that appeared from nowhere. Then came back down and it was raining or gloomy outside. So i left the place and locked it up. As I was walking down the street i saw this bald fat guy behind me coming toward me slowly with a bat. I was trying to run but i couldnt i ran to slow and he picked up the bat and swung it and hit me in the back of the head. I suddenly awoke. Then i fell back asleep and I was behind a store where there was trash flying around it was humid and i had just came out of a glass door, and locked the place up again. Then the same guy climbs over the fence and watches me and comes toward me slowly and I tried to run again and again and again and i was motionless i felt like i was locked in the same place and the guy kept getting closer and suddenly he hit me in the head with the bat he carried with him. I awoke again and it was very hard to fall back asleep.
Deffently talk to someone about this dream. also there is this website that u can go to called www.dreammoods.com and then u click dream dictionary. Well I hope you figure it out and I hope the dream goes away. Good luck with it.
I just bought this really cute long sleeved, navy blue, button down shirt. It's adorable... but I do not know what pants to wear with it. I was thinking jeans, but then I thought that might be too much blue/ too dark. What would be the best color pants to wear with the shirt (I don't have khaki's). Thanks!
I really think jeans would do good. If you have a lighter pair then that would do better. And make sure the shoes match. That would look great!
I never know what to say when im talking to my crush. Sometimes, its akward because i would have nothing to say then it would turn out to be dead scilence. I get kinda scared about what he thinks of me because hes an outgoing guy and i only wish to be outgoing enough to fit up to his standerds. How do i bring up a good conversation without it being akward, and what if i cant think of a topic to bring up what should i do?
The same thing happens to me. Well first talk about stuff like so u bummed that schools back or hi and stuff like that get to know him and be his friend. Then when you become his friend you guys will probley call each other and that good of a relationship so you wont feel akward when you talk to him then you can just ad into a convo. that you like him or you would like to hang out. Good luck and follow your heart!
ok there is this guy i like named Chris, and i love him so much, and we have talked a lot and all. but i asked him out and he said "no". but i got so attached to him, that when he turned me down i started to take razors and cut my arm, and i still do. and i want to stop but it helps to controll pain. how do i stop?Note:i am 14/female. i rate 5 to anyone who answers!
cutting yourself is not the answer. I think that you should put all your razors and sharp objects and through them away. Talk to someone about it like your mom or if you dont feel confortible talking with her talk to your friends or a school conculer or someone who will listen. Talk to Chris and ask him if theres anything that you can do to change or fix to make him feel more confortible with dating you. If that wont work then you just have to move on I'm sure ur a really nice person and he may just be a friend to you. Dont cut yourself I'm sure that theres someone out there for you. And if you move on maybe he will like you later on and think man was I stupid to say no to her. Good luck follow your heart. And please dont cut.
Ok one of my best friends best friend went out with this guy for about 3 months and they broke up about 2 weeks ago. While they were going out I started to like him a little more, and now since they have broken up I like him ALOT. But the problem is I havent ever really talked to him before. He is in 1 of my classes, how do I get him to notice me? Then just a couple of days ago I just found out my best friend likes him and she is the "it" girl of the school like all of the guys like her and everything. And she knows that I like him. Knowing her she is probably ganna ask him out sometime and he is probably going to say yes. what do I do about that too...anyways He is tall cury hair fast runner and hott ( kinda like an abercrombie or some type of modle) lol and I am short blonde blue eyes and ya. Well I would really like some help! thx a bunch!! I rate high*
Hey dont worry about your friend start a convo with your crush. Sit with him at lunch talk to him in the class that ur in ask for help or somting a convo starter. When you two start being good friends ask him out the worst he can do is say no and you can always try again. Dont worry if he doesnt like you im sure that hes not good enough for you and pluse i bet that there is about 5 boys who wish u liked them in your school. Dont worry follow your heart and dont worry about your friend it isnt about her and this boy its about you and this boy. If you like him im sure it will work out and dont worry im sure it will. Good luck hun!
is 13 too young to get married. i mean yeah it is but like i mean if you really felt you were ready could someone marry u without a parents consent. or even with one
You would have to get both parents permition pluse the permetion of the boys parents. And you would have to go to a judge and he would have to pass it ether say yes or no. Good luck and is this really what you want think about it. Listen to your heart.
My parents fight all the time and I don't know what to do. I don't like going anywhere with them (restaraunts, themeparks) and even driving in the car with them together makes me uneasy. Tonight I have to drive a city about 20 minutes away back and forth since we are moving some of our stuff to our new storage unit. I either have the option to stay home alone or go with them. I'm afraid to do both since I've never been alone at night before. What should I do?
Dont worry sometimes they just need to fight. And im sorry about your parents mine are getting divorsed and its a living nightmare! But i think maybe you should talk to your friends tonight and stay at home. But dont worry you'll do fine you have friends who got ur back ;). Good luck hun!!
ok im 13/f and im goin out w/ a 12/m...yea i no its werid but im one of those ppl that says age doesnt matta lol. so we started goin out a couple of days ago but hes liked me for a long time. the only prob is when im around he doesnt treat me like his gf...i dont know wut to do cuz i really like him but i wanna be treated like his gf...not jus a friend.
Talk to him about it ask him since you guys are dating you wanted to be treated like his gf. And since hes your friend it should be easyer. and right on about the age thing :D.
Everytime someone compliments me I think they just want something from me and they are scheming against me. Everytime I get supposedly good news I think its a bunch of bull and that its not true. I'm not a pescimist, I think realistically but I feel like nothing good can happen in my life and I'm always alone. Is there something wrong with me?
Hey try to be more opened minded like ok well maybe they did like my hair today. and stuff like that. Talk to your friends and ask them do u only complement me when you want somthing from me? and tell them to be honest.
I have this friend in the 8th grade im in 7th and shes an only child and she thinks shes soo hot but shes dont wanna be rude but really ugly....she has this crush who has a boyfriend now and she thinks he likes her but he doesnt and shes just ugly im sorry but i cant help it I need help and shes always braging about her looks and clothes and voice and stuff.
friend dinial
Hey dont worry about your friend talk to her and say hey I love you to death but can u pease stop braging? thanks i would really appretiate it. good luck wit dat!
I have to switch schools (7th grade) and I'm so nervous. I have cramps in my stomach and I feel like I'm going to puke. I have talked to friends over the phone about it and they say I'll do fine but I don;t about that. Please, someone tell me what I can do to reduce nervousness of this change?
first of all take a deep breath. Ok, now you shouldnt be nerves i come from a school were there is 4 kids in my grade and i have to go to a publix school next year. thats pretty freaky anyway. What you should do is get to know some people who go to that school. be their friends so when you go there youll already no everything (almost). Good luck.
There's this guy I like and i thought he liked me too. But then my friend had to go and mess everything up. She ran up to him and started bugging him and told him I was in love with him (which I'm not-I just like him). And now he's acting all weird around me. What should I do?
(I'm 13 and in 7th grade and I'm a female)
PLEASE HELP!!
First of all that wasnt very nice of your friend. What i think you should do is pull your crush aside and say listen i dont love you it is just a crush and Im probley over you. And love will come and go but maybe your friend was trying to protect u i dont know u should probley talk to her to. good luck!
