im a petite girl. im 5'3" and 110 lbs, and im healthy looking. my skin is pretty good, but lately i have started to get stretch marks on my hips. why is that and how do i get rid if that

It could be because you've either lost weight or gained. But probably not, stretch marks are a mystery! And lots of young people have the same problem as you. I really suggest buying lotions with cocoa butter and emu oil. Emu oil is supposed to reduce the stretch marks lots.
Good luck (:

I need help! Im 13 and all my freinds have gotten there periods but not me. My boobs are big and my sister and my mom got there periods while they were 11. Why am i the only left out one. I read a whole bunch of articals and i predict i will get mine in 6 months minimum. But please help in any way possible!

Don't panic now, everyone is different! It's totally normally to get your period sometime between 10 and 16, when it surpasses that, THEN you may want to contact a doctor. You're fine for now, don't worry about it, you're actually really lucky to be starting later than your friends. Seriously, periods suck, haha.

I really am convinced that my parents hate me.

My dad has said he'd rather pay for boarding school than have to see me everyday, and tonight he said that he doesn't have time for me anymore.

My mother doesn't listen to a word that comes out of my mouth. I've noticed that I talk louder around her than I do around anyone else.

I am such a good kid. I get good grades, my room is close to clean, the whole shebang.

Why don't my parents love me?

:| I'm really sorry to hear all that, you would think that there's no reason for them to treat you that way. I was going to say that maybe they're taking out their own life problems on you but your mom calling you a "mean nasty girl" when you're crying is so heartless. I think you should straight up ask your mom why she hates you and why she doesn't love you, and be serious about it. Hopefully that'll get her all emotional, maybe you'll see a side of her you don't usually see. If not, then there for real is a problem... I guess I would suggest to talk to your school councelor. It may sound weird but honestly that's what I thought, but I found it so much easier to get help and just say my problems to someone who doesn't really know me. I guess it's because someone who has no past with you, can't judge you and will truly help you. Well see how it goes, and get back to me if you want? Good luck with everything :\

How do you make a boy jealous? The reason why I want to know how is because the boy I like lied to me by saying he had a girlfriend when he really doesn't just to avoid going out with me and now I want to show him that I don't need him and that he missed out on someone special who really did and still does like him. Any boys out there who wouldn't mind sharing what makes you jealous of a girl?? Girls how do you make a boy jealous?

First off, I really don't think trying to make him jealous is the right thing to do, just because he doesn't like you. If he's already decided that he wouldn't want to go out with you, then I think you're too good for him! He doesn't deserve you if he's that shallow. Just have fun flirting with other guys in front of him, making sure he sees, but do not look at him. It may make him jealous, it may not, but he'll know that you don't care about what he thinks of you. I really hope this helped (:

ok, I don't really know where to start. I go to school in Montanna. Me and my boyfriend had been going out for about 3 weeks talking for about 2 months and then it was my bday. I was turning 16. he got me this card about fart. It was strange, and he doesn't really even talk to me at school. I don't know what to do. I guess he's shy, but I am too. He will call pretty much every other night, and we will talk about 20-30min. What does all this mean. Does he even really want to go out with me or does he just sound like one of those guys that goes out with someone just to say he has a gf? Help Help Help!!! PLZ

So it sounds like you two don't really connect well at all, or are uncomfortable with each other sometimes? I personally think that he likes the idea of having a girlfriend, and if you guys aren't really all that close and it's not progressing, then you might as well break up with him. You could try getting to know him more- as friends if you care about him, because it's unusual for a gf and bf not to hang out at school...
good luck (:
