My school will be doing a play, and there are lots of parts where the guys opposite the females have to lift them. Just a quick princess-lift in a dance or something, but I weigh 239 pounds. I'm 5'8 and a half, a teenage girl. Yes, extremely heavy I know.
Either way, I really really really need to drop a lot of weight, otherwise it might be impossible to get the part. I'm already trying to lose weight just for health reasons (yay for having dropped 5 pounds already!), and I have until about March, but any tips to kick things into (healthy) high gear? Like, will replacing my usual beverages with water help cut calories?
I know exercise is one of the biggest factors, I've started exercising at least 30 minutes a day running in place (not safe to run outside where I live), squats, push-ups, etc. Any exercises you recommend? Sorry it's so long, just wanna make sure everyone has all the detail they need about me to give the best advice they can.
Have a nice day. :) (link)

Low carb diets work faster than low fat ones, so look in that direction. Increase your water consumption and cut out all the empty calories you can - soda, junk food. Don't even drink diet sodas, they keep you addicted to sweets.

F-17: This guy and I were together for 2 years and we were completely in love. We barely did anything though; we didn't need it. We split up when we went to different schools and it was a terrible break up and we weren't even friends. Now we've been apart for a little over a year now but naturally, I still have feelings for him. He says he does for me too, I know it's true. But during the year we've been apart, he was dating another girl and he had sex with her. I always thought he would be the guy I'd have sex with. Now we're finally friends again and he wants to and I know I do it's just weirding me out that it's my first time and not his; just because that's how i imagined it would be. Help! (link)
|
There doesn't seem to be much attraction or love or even interest in each other, just an opportunity for him have a sexual experience with you.
What do you want?
I'd pass.

This guy thats really nice to me says he wants to teach me about life. I dont know if he likes me or anything but hes relly nice. We are both 16 and i'm not sure what he means, Is he trying to call me dumb?

He wants to have sex with you and teach you "the facts of life."

Hi everyone, I am a college freshman and i think i see a problem starting to form in my life.
I have recently started drinking a lot while in college, often blacking out and not remembering the night i had. I sometimes drink just to feel drunk and carefree. I spend most of my money on alcohol and I usually go through about a fifth of alcohol on any givin night. My friends are starting to become concerned and they tell me that i am not the same person drunk as i am sober. They also tell me that when i start drinking i will not stop until someone physically takes the alcohol away from me. I don't know what to do and i'm afraid that I might have a problem.
How do i get help with letting anyone (including my friends and parents) know about the situation.
Thank you all. (link)

Most colleges have counseling centers where students seek counseling.

Generally it's not considered a problem until you've been trying for 24 months.

Hi,19/m. im currently taking a couple years out before going to university. my aim is to save money, as well as to get some work experience etc.
I've got some money saved up, and am willing to save more for travelling.
Im unsure about whether to travel in Europe, or China? I live in the UK, so 2 weeks in Europe would be convenient, as its quite close. I would probably spent a few days in France, a few days in Italy, a few in Spain.
China however would be a once in a life time opportunity. I don't have much of a preference, i would generally love to spend time in Europe and China.
However, I will be going on my own (most probably). I have one friend who will have the finances to come with me, but the problem is that he only wants to spend his time in one place i.e. all the time in France. I'm also learning mandarin Chinese, so china would be a good way to develop my knowledge. But i also speak Italian, and SOME French and German?
Any idea's to help me make up my mind? Thanks folks! Much appreciated :) (link)

China!
Europe is past, China is the future.

I dnt want my period I just feel so uncomfortable so if I don't eat at ALL that will stop it. And how long do I need to go without eating?? (link)
|
Not eating will stop your period.
Along the way, it will also cause malnutrition. scurvy, rickets and death.

well there is this girl i think i like but it could be all in my head or it could be something psychological or maybe i just dont wanna like her but i do because everybody says shes a big step down from my other girlfriends and it would be like social suicide asking her out but i never really cared that much about that but i gotta consider it and it could be a bad relationship but it might not be cause we do talk and get along but it would be akward if she said no too because i have to be around her a good bit so what should i do (link)

Go for it!
Choosing who to date is not a committee decision. Anyone who is not respectful of your choice is not really your friend.

i'm 18 female and my parents and boyfriend and best friend are all talking to me about the future. At first it was ok but now i feel like its gotten way out of hand and i feel like i'm about to lose it!
my parents are talking to me about college (which is fine because i already know what college i'm going to) but then they were talking about moving and studying abroad and studying international school and living there when i'm older like 2 or 3 years from now.
my boyfriend was talking to me about our future together. at first that was fine because i thought it was cute that he wanted to stay together when i was in college. but now he's talking about marriage and where we would live and kids etc. i'm freaking just a kid still!!! i feel like i'm so overwhelmed with him talking about the future and i haven't really given it a thought but it hurts my brain to think about the future
my best friend was talking to me about college (that was fine because we were discussing which colleges we were going to) but then she started talking about how when we are older we could travel together and get an apartment together and be roommates and do everything together. at first i was fine with it because she is my best friend and we are like sisters and i can't imagine life without her.. but now its just weird how we are basically planning our future..
i dont know if i'm overreacting but i just feel so overwhelmed with everything. i do have a lot of stress in my life, so that could be a factor. but i just feel so stressed and anxiety and i wish i could scream at people! help what do i do? (link)

Try a little humor. The next time someone starts mapping out your life, ask something like:
"Excuse me, at what point in the process do I become involved with the rest of my life?"

Well i've been with my boyfriend for four years, and i'm one of those girls who no matter how many times i hear that porn is okay i can't get it through my head and it still hurts, well i had learned to accept it as long as he did it when we weren't going to have sex, but i recently found out he does it like after or before we have sex i asked him not to because it bothers me and i caught him again, and after a while he admitted he had a problem and was addicted and was going to seek help, so i stumbled upon porn filters and i mentioned it to him and he said he wouldn't mind but i don't know how porn works with guys, will this cause him to want to do others girls now that he can't wack it to just the thought of others? cause i always researched how to accept your guy looking at porn and they always said " you should be happy he's trying to control it not doing the real thing" hes always looked at porn so i don't know what problems it's going to cause if i apply this filter. What do you guys think (link)
|
Not all men use porn. This is not something you must come to accept or make room for in your relationship if you don't want to. Sure, probably every guy has seen some porn, but all men do go out of their way to view it.
If he wants to use a computer filter as a way of helping him control his viewing, that's his business and something he can do for himself. This cannot be something you do to control him.

I have been taking a little bit of bendryl, but is there anything else I can do to make them go away? they're on my face too! and theyre just so annoying, i want them to go away quick! (link)

Pepcid tablets can help.

i'm 15 years old and my boyfriend and have been going out for 5 months now. we are now at the stage to start doing 'stuff' but i'm too embarrassed too because of my oversized labia. it is so disgusting and i want to find a way to shrink it. i know you might say that he won't notice it and if he does he won't care but all the guys at school talk about the over sized labias and call them 'granny flaps'. I'm not sure what to do, do i go ahead with it? or do i just refuse to do it? i really need some good advice. (link)
|
If you are not comfortable with guy being respectful of your body, why are you you thinking about having sex with him?
There is no treatment other then surgery, BTW.

I hate high school. I'm 18, I'm more mature then people in my school, and I'm in all these boring advanced classes that are jokes. I'm not learning anything, and I hate my friends! They are annoying and we've grown apart. I want to try to graduate early or take my English class online or at a community college. I'm wondering, from people who have done this.. (basically taking an online class) is it easy, is it hard, is it a lot of work, anything you want to tell me about it would be great:) (link)
|
My son took courses at a local college to complete his senior year of high school. Like you, he had outgrown high school mentality and needed more of a challenge.
Your high school will lose money if you stop going to school, so they may not be as supportive as they could be - just a heads up.

I'm a 19 year old, 5 foot 8 1/2inch, 120lb, European girl that's lived in the United States for a few years. Miami to be exact. I'm going to a great university here on scholarship and doing well. I'm very smart. My parents are proud of me, but everyone that meets me says that I should be modeling. It matches my lifestyle and even personality a lot more than my current major does (international relations/politics). I'm very good at what I do in school however I always have doubts if this is really what I want to do. I'm an upbeat, fun, exciting person and aesthetics make me very happy. I mean nice places, beautiful things, they affect me more than they should I guess. I also love traveling but not just the part that everyone loves, I love everything about it. The airports, the hotels, everything. I don't really see myself doing anything when I'm older, I only chose my major because I love learning about cultures of other countries and lifestyles. I know I'm still young and have time to figure it out, but what I cannot deny is that I love to model, and am repeatedly being convinced by everyone I should be doing that! I've told my parents the idea that I had, that maybe I could model when young and finish school later but they don't see any value in this at all. They think I would be throwing it all away to do something that wont last. And I know it might not last but it's my life and I know in my heart that I could really be successful at this, it feels more than a dream, it feels reachable. I've modeled runways before and done print but my parents haven't really made it easy for me to get out there. And are we not all supposed to follow our dreams? I just don't know if its worth disappointing all the people that are so "proud" of me. I don't know what I should do...any advice??? (link)
|
You are a little short for runway work... but go to a reputable agency and see what they have to say, and then decide.

Oh, sweet ignorance!
Sperm in your body can stay alive for 5 days, possibly longer. Sperm deposited outside the vagina can and do swim all they way up the vagina to the fallopian tubes. There is sperm in "pre cum", and it is the kind if sperm that can cause pregnancy.
How much it gets through fabric depends on time, tightness of weave among other things.
Your actions are puttting you at risk.

so if Im pregnant and having sex is that bad?
is something going to happen to my baby
please help! (link)

Unless there are problems, sex is fine right up until you're in labor!

Shes been doing it for about a year and really seems to enjoy it.
but now it seem to be getting to her head. When I told her to do something yesterday she got mad and said that she knows karate and that I should watch out.
Do you think I should take her out of the class?
Btw she's 13. I'm her dad. (link)
|
You need to know if this attitude is in any way being encouraged by thee class, or if she has come up with this on her own. Ask if you can sit in on a couple of classes.

I am a female, eighteen years old. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sewx and few weeks ago. He came in me and didn't tell me until now. He was supposed to pull out. My period was supposed to come yesterday but I feel no signs of it. Its to late for the morning after pill. What should I do? (link)
|
Too late for a morning after pill.
The pull out method is not effective so apparently, you do need to be told have unprotected sex. Buy some birth control.

Okay, I've only had sex with one guy. It was my first long term boyfriend, and were both virgins. We used a condom about 80% of the time, so yes, there were some incidents we didn't use protection. But neither of us had an STD.
We broke up about a month and a half ago, and a week or so ago I started getting these symtpoms:
My labia, clit and the lining around my vagina are VERY VERY itchy. But it doesn't burn. And by using Vagisil on a daily basis, it keeps the itchiness away so I even forget about it. It's also kind of red and irritated looking. I have a brownish discharge, and even though I already had my period at the beginning of this month, I've been getting cramps that come and go through out the day.
Any help with what this could be?? I'm 17 years old. And yes, I did tell my mom. She said it could be soap irritation, so I stopped scrubbing "down there" but it hasn't helped. I have a regular doctor's appointment on Thursday, but I was just hoping for some advice before then. (link)

Sounds like a yeast infection. You'll need to see a gynecologist or a nurse practitioner who can give you a prescription. You can also get medicine over the counter, but you want a diagnosis before that she you know for sure.
A topical application of yogurt can really take the pain away in the meantime.
