I recommend taking pain relievers like aleve, tylenol, etc or midol even. Also, a heating pad helps too. I hope this helps.

Q: I am 16 years old weigh 115 lbs and im 5'4". Well I was trying on homecomming dresses at my friends house But every dress I tried on I felt soooo fat or shall I say I LOOKED so fat! I was about to cry but I couldnt cry infront of everyone. Homecomming is in about 1 month and a half away. Should I go on a diet or should I just tell my friends I cant go. My friends would be sooo mad at me if they find out im not going because I never been to a dance before. Its NOT as easy as you think it is. I been thinking about it day in and day out. I wish I could just accept that im fat! Do you know any good diets?!? Thank you sooo much

Honestly, you're not fat. If you're really worried about how you look then just watch your calorie intake and don't eat past 7pm. Also, if you need snacks then snack on fruits and veggies. For exercise, you should go walking everyday for at least 30 minutes. Some other exercises I recommend are leg lifts, arm curls and crunches or situps. For leg lifts, you lay on one side and bring your leg up and down. I recommend starting out with 30 on each leg. For arm curls, if you have weights that will help but you bring your arms down in front of you and keeping your elbows still bring the weights up to your chest. Anyway, I really don't think you need to lose weight but those are some pointers anyway. I hope this helps!

Q: how often should u feed a cat?
|

I recommend just leaving out the food and fill the bowl when it gets empty, however, if your cat is overweight then you should only feed twice a day and give about a third of a cup each time. I hope this helps!

I recommend walking in your neighborhood for at least 30 minutes a day. Also, I do leg lifts. For those, you just lay on one side and bring your leg up and down. I recommend starting out with 30 on each leg. If too easy then definitely do more. I hope this helps!

Q: I'm 15 years old & have been with my boyfriend for a few months. He's not a virgin and he's done sexual things with many girls. He told me he was ready to have sex whenever I was. I feel like I don't live up to his old girlfriends and that I'm such a good girl - being a virgin & unexperienced. I'm a little scared to have sex but when will I know I'm totally ready and mature enough to do it? Is it that wrong to not be sexually experienced at 15?
|

It's definitely not wrong to not be sexually experienced. I sure wasn't when I was 15. I wouldn't worry about it at all. You'll know when you're ready because it will just happen. I hope this helps!

This is normal since you just started. Your body is getting used to the fact that you have a period also so you have nothing to worry about. It will be irregular for a while. I hope this helps!

Q: My husband and I are adopting a cat today from the Humane Society. The cat is 4 years old, and has not been declawed. I feel it would be inhumane to do declaw her, but I am worried about her scratching my furniture, and me as well. Does anyone have any alternitives to declawing, or how to prevent her from scratching the furniture.
And any other tips for a new cat owner would be appriciated.

Well, I recommend getting a scratching post so that way your cat can scratch on that. That's what we had to do for our cat and when you see her scratching on something that she shouldn't be then scold her and show her the correct thing to scratch. Also, it might help to just get her nails cut. Just get nail clippers at a local pet store. I hope this helps and good luck with your new kitty.

Q: This might sound a lil weird.. but im 15 and i was wondering when is the best age to start having sex?
|
|
|
|
|
|

Well, I don't think it's about age. I think you should wait until you're married. I had sex when I was 17 and regret it even though I married that person. It wasn't as special on our wedding night so I recommend waiting until you're married. I hope this helps!

Q: the guy i am interested in told me that the only way he would consider going out with me is if i have sex with him 1st. i like this guy but i am a virgin i just dont know if it is worth it. what shoul i do? :(
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Definitely don't fall for that. This guy is not very nice if he told you that and even though you like him it sounds like he's only after you for the sex. I wouldn't do it and know it wouldn't be worth it in the long run. I hope this helps!

I confronted him and he said i wanna see if we can keep our promise.. i really want to loose my virginity to him.. what should I do?
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

Well, I think you should wait. You confronted him already and he said he wanted to wait so I say just respect his wishes and when he's ready than he will let you know. :-D I hope this helps!

Q: whats a good/fast way to get rid of a lil fat i have only on my belly? and how do i do crunches? thanks a lot.
|

Well, first off, watch your calorie intake. Don't eat past 7pm and if you need snacks fruits and veggies are the best thing for that. Also, if you go walking everday in your neighborhood for at least 30 minutes that helps. I definitely recommend the crunches too. They are like situps but smaller. Just put your hands behind your head and go up as far as you can without going all the way up. If you want it to stay off you just have to keep doing exercises and not slack off. I hope this helps and good luck!

Q: ok well about a week ago ii got braces and on my bottom lip inside i have like this sore from them and the dentist sed i would for a few days but it hurts REALLY bad wen my braces hit it or i smile and i dont know what to do help!!!!

Well, I had braces for the longest time so I know the pain you're going through. If you can get wax from your doctor. That helps a lot! You just put the wax over the braces that are bugging your lips and the pain should eventually go away. I hope this helps!

Yes, of course it is. I would definitely go for it if I were you. In fact, when I was dating my husband I gave him the hint that I wanted to go out with him. I sort of bugged him about it hahaha but I would definitely ask the guy out. I hope this helps!

|
|

|
|
|

Don't fall for pressure. Let the guy know you're not ready and if he can't take that then it might be a good idea to just stop hanging out with him. Only have sex when you are definitely ready, otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. I hope this helps!

Well, I do have some suggestions. You can try garage sales or go around asking your neighbors if there is anything you can do to raise money. Also, if your state does the deposit on soda pop cans then you can go around and collect cans. Also, see if there is something you can do around the house to raise money. I hope this helps!

My feeling are too strong. So..how should I tell him? I'm j/ really worried we wont remain friends if I tell him.. Like if he ends up NOT liking me. Thanks for your help! =)

Well, you just need to totally be honest. Just say I need to talk to you about something and tell him your true feelings. It really honestly has to come from the heart so I can't exactly tell you what to say but just think about it and write it down if you have to. Also, if I have to say something to somebody that's real serious like that I always rehearse in front of a mirror or something before I do it. :-D Anyway, just get him alone and spill the beans. :-D I hope this helps and good luck!
