advice

Ok this is from the question about the babies.....but how do i get my family to see me as a baby person?

You should start to try to get babysitting jobs in your neighborhood so your family can see how much you love them. Call neighbors and friends to ask if they need a babysitting job anytime soon. Also when your little cousin is around give her lots of attention and then I'm sure your family will see a difference. I hope this helped!!

I'm 14 and I have never babysit once in my life. When I was the age when you would start to babysit i was not interested and was not very good with little kids and so now my whole extended family thinks that im the girl that cant handle babies. I want to though because i have a 1 year old cousin but when ever shes around i just leave the room. I dont know how to get over my issues with babies!

I know my brother is like that...he thinks "eww they drool and they are annoying and follow me around everywhere..." etc. On the other hand, I ABSOLUTLY LOVE BABIES! My mom always laughs at me because I keep saying when I get married I want like 5! Just think of them as cute and little and they look up to you as their role model. It's so funny too because when you play with them they get so happy =) If you have any more questions just drop them in my inbox :)

13/f.
I met this guy in like beg of october last year at a campground ((family campground)) and we like have so much funn together and we like kissed and well i have been talking to him like online and over myspace ever since and in december he got a girlfriend, and this past weekend we both went camping again, ((he still has the same gf)) and well a few days before she went onto his myspace and was like 'back off he doesnt miss you' and all this shit, so once i got to the campground i tryed avoiding him but him and his friends approached me and my friend and you know he asked if we could like do stuff but keep it from his gf. and i was like yeah. so we like did, and he called me beautiful and told me he loved me more than his gf. and now i like cry everytime i even like think about him because i like him so much, and it scares me.
but i like almost never see him and i dont know how to get over him...
any suggestions?



PS- i will rate 5's to anyone that even tries

Sadly, it seems like he is using you. He just wants to kiss you and stuff. You need to cut off all communications with him because you deserve more then this. If you ever love a guy, he should treat you like a princess, not a little fling. Hope you get over him and find another guy!

I think I am one of those emotional eaters (people that eat when they are upset, mad, bored...) and I don't know how to stop it. =\ I asked my parent to ask a nutritionist if I could go see them, but all the nutritionists focus on kids who are "extremely obese." I may not have 100 extra pounds on me, but I am not the skinniest person in the world and want to change so I can be healthy and more self-confident. Help me!!

First of all, you don't need to be obese to see a children's nutritionist. I still see one even though I am the appropriate weight. Still go see a nutritionist if you think you need to. You know you need a nutritionist if you do not have the right BMI for your height and weight. To find your BMI go to: http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm
If your BMI is greater or close to 25, tell your parents you need to see a nutritionist because you are at a risk to becoming obese. To stop emotionally eating, STAY AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN, when you feel bored go outside or do something else you enjoy. Also, if you can't stop emotionally eating try to eat more healthier foods like carrots with non-fat dip or fruits. Believe it or not 200 strawberries is equal to 2 cookies. So choose the strawberries over the cookies ;) Hope you get to feel more confident and if you need to ask anymore questions just drop 'em in my inbox!

Jess- I'm 13, and have had signs of puberity since i was in late 4th grade. Now im in seventh, and still havent had anything. Lots of thick white stuff comes out, do i need to see a doctor? Also, one of my boobs are a slight bit bigger then the other, is that a problem?
thanks-
t

No, under any circumstances you don't need to see a doctor. The thick white stuff coming out is called discharge. This is a sign that you are getting your period soon. It is normal for one boob to be bigger then the other, they are just growing and they will even out. This is only a problem if one boob is one whole cup size bigger than the other. Hope this helped!

Im in 8th grade and i havent had a boyfriend yet. I really want one but it seems like no guy is ever gonna like me! will i ever get a boyfriend?

OF COURSE YOU WILL! You have quit a while to get one also. Be patient and be picky too. If you just go out with any guy it isn't going to be worth it; make your first boyfriend one that you really like and make it memorable. A guy will like you and I'm sure one does now, he just is too scared to admit it. People who have illnesses or have no legs still get boyfriends or get married, your time will come. Beleive me :]

would it be safe for a kid to go on the low carb diet?

It depends. First you should go to your doctor to ask if the kid is a healthy weight or not. If the kid is obese or overweight, you can. I dieted from 4-6th grade because I was overweight. I was 4'11'' and 140 pounds. It was okay for me because I would have become obese. My advice is don't go on a low carb diet...go to a kid's nutritionist so she/he can tell you what to eat. Hope this helped!

Hi, Im 13 years old (14 in June) and i started my period quite awhile ago, but i use tampons and i left one in for longer than suppose and now i think i have TSS. I looked up the symptoms and im really worried. I know they say you should go to a doctor, but imscared. I havent told my mum, im scared. I have a bit of diarrhea, and i feel rather dizzy. Please help me! I dont want to go to a doctor. I dont know what to say to my mum. She will think im being stupid. SO...PLEASE HELP ME!

xox

Here are the symptoms for TSS:
-diarria
-fever
-skin rash
-and dizziness

You may have a chance of having it. Firstly, I think you should tell your mom. If the thinks you're being stupid still go to the doctor or talk about it with the school nurse just in case. Don't be scared or nervous to confront someone about it. If you keep it a secret too long it can get serious. Many girls and women get toxic shock syndrom so don't feel wierd about talking about it. Feel better soon =)

Ok well I like this guy you see, and i'm almost positive that he likes me... but he's in eigth grade so I practically don't have any chance with him :( The problem is that I can never get him off of my mind I like him so much. The worst part is though like when we're together he'll act like he likes me and then at school he treats me like a friend and flirts with other girls... I know this is bad because it is obvious that he is a playa but seriously I don't care I even write poems and songs about him... it's like I'm going crazy or something.
Please help me,
One boy boy crazy

First of all, just because he's in 8th grade doesn't mean you don't have a chance with him. Ashton Kutcher scored Demi Moore and they are 20 years apart. He might be flirting with other girls though because he is confused whether you like him back or not. Tell your feelings to him to see if you guys both like each other =) You havn't gone crazy because you are writing poems and songs about him. You just really like him alot. Hope this helped!

I know this is really stupid, but bear with me. There's nobody else I can ask

About a week ago, I accidentally slept face down and rumpled up my eyelid. It looks really bad---I'm Asian, so one eye has a normal double lid and the other is puffy and creased. If you don't know what a double eyelid is, then see:

http://www.beautifuleyes.com/images/photos/double-eyelid/4-after.jpg

Do you think it would be harmful if I cut a small strip of tape and stick it on where the double lid should be? I tried it and it worked (and the tape didn't show at all), but I took it off because I was worried it might be harmful. So if it won't damage my eye, could you also tell me whether it would last? Like, when I take the tape off, it would be normal again?

Woah there. Please don't do anything more to your eye. Go see a doctor and see if you can take medication. With the thing you are doing you might infect and/or damage it. Hope this helped!

hey jess,
so there's this guy and like at school he always stares at me. in class, the hallway, and at lunch. i had a crush on him awhile ago, but like someone told me he likes me now and not when i liked him. he's a cool guy and really sweet and is always nice to me. yeah, we joke around saying we hate each other, but we never mean it. do you think he likes me?
thanks

I'm pretty positive that he likes you =) To double check just ask his friends and see if he does. If you don't like him back though, just be nice and treat him as a friend so you don't hurt his feelings. If you do like him back though maybe you can go out :)

hey jess,

okay, so the guy i like has been my friend for about five years. we don't talk much in school & we don't have any classes together. out of school though we talk a moderate amount and sometimes on the phone (when i talked to him on the phone my friend was with me, so it wasnt a one on one conversation w/ him)
in school though, like in the halls we make eye contact, but he looks away, sometimes looking embarressed or bewildered. at lunch people say he stares at me, and sometimes i catch him doing it. he's pretty popular and a lottt of girls like him. i just don't know if he likes me or not, and i dont know what to do.
i especially dont want to talk to him about this situation and ruin our friendship. that'd be really akward, ya know?

thanks,

I think he likes you =)If he stares at you at lunch and stuff he probably does. Don't be offended when he looks away though..I think he is just embarrased that you caught him looking. Just keep talking to him and ask his guy friends to see if he likes you. If he does then give him a hint that you like him too (if you do) Talk to him in school more. I hope you become a couple :)

I like this guy I think, but i'm like afraid to ask him out because I think if I asked him out and he said no he would never talk to me anymore. What should I do?

I think you should go for it. If he does say no I think he will still talk to you..don't worry. Plus you will probably regret it if you don't ask him! Good Luck 8)

P.S. Thanks Josh for the help =)

Hey Jess. I really want a boyfriend, but I can`t seem to get one. I`ve tried putting it off my mind, but its not working. Any tips?

Hmm..maybe try to flirt a little more. Just don't seem desperate. Let the guy come to you and be patient. If you try too hard it doesn't work very well. Plus, if your my age, you have quit awhile to get a boyfriend anyways =)
Hope you find the perfect guy!

This guy and I got in a HUGE fight and like i want to be friends with him again, but he thinks i stalk him. I liked him before, but I don't anymore. I just want to be his friend again. What should I do?

Depending on how "huge" the fight was, give him a few days to cool off and then apologize to him and say you would really like to be friends with him again. If he doesn't forgive you just let him go. You shouldn't be friends with someone if they can't forgive you. Just remember to be sincere when you do forgive him and look at him in the eyes. If you're looking around you and saying it quickly and like you don't mean it, it looks like you really arn't sorry. I hope this worked and good luck!

Okay so I really like this girl. But she sees me as a friend. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I don't know if she likes me back or not but I'm scared that if she doesn't and like I tell her we will loose r freindship. HELP!!

Alrighty. I see how you don't want it to be wierd around her when she figures out that you like her. I think you should go for it and tell her. If she likes you back, great! You can go out and everything and most relationships start out as friends and then move into boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. If she doesn't like you that's okay too. I have a couple of guy friends who "like" me and I don't necessarily like them back and we are still friends. Plus, boyfriends and girlfriends eventually break up. If you are just friends with her, and you really love her, you guys can be friends forever and you won't ever lose her. Hope that helped =)
