about

Hey I'm Sarah! I'm a freshman in high school and lovin it:) I like hangin out with my friends, playing field hockey, swimming, running, dancing, the beach, listening to music, and ya...pretty much everything! So leave ur questions here and I'll try my best to answer them. sorry in advance if i can't answer all ur questions, life gets a little busy sometimes. lata taters;)

advice

I'm 6'11" 430lbs Male. I need a plan for weight loss, and i need to lose it soon. My doctor has suggested surgery, and i do not want to go there until i absoulty have to. It is literally killing me. Please give me some low cost solutions on losing weight. Thanks.

I'm not guaranteeing drastic weight loss, but exercising helps a lot! Don't start out really hard at first though, just start with what you can and then work from there. If you can only jog for 5 minutes one day, try jogging for 7 the next time and so on. Also, don't overeat and cut back on sweets, etc. and foods that you know are bad for you. Just eat when you're hungry, not when you're bored or sad or w/e. If nothing seems to work, go to a nutritionist or a trainer, they'll be more than happy to help if you're ready to help yourself! Good luck!

Well, in my free time, i like to create routines for songs that I like. Well, I do hip rolls in a song, and my question is, why do my hips get so sore after im done doing them??? Its not the first time i have done them, I used to do them a lot, now all of a sudden they hurt a lot. Has this happened 2 any1 before or do any of you know what it is??? Much help is appreciated!

Hey, that's really awesome that you make dances! Neways, you could have pulled muscles along your hip bones or muscles in your upper thighs or sides and the pain might just be in your hips. Make sure you stretch well all over before you dance. If this pain continues I'd go to a doctor! A few years ago I walked for a month with a dislocated hip without going to the doctor bc I thought I had just pulled a muscle in my leg because the pain was always in a different place along my thigh, hip and knee. Hope you feel better soon!

My room is always messy and when I clean it up it just gets messy again! Im try to keep organized but it just never seems to work! What are some tips or things I can put in my room that will help me?

Hey! I have the same problem,lol...but what helps me keep it clean is a dirty laundry basket, hangers (on the back of the door and in the closet) and a chair off to the side where I can put some of my junk temporarily if I'm in a rush, instead of throwing it on the floor. You can also put shelves and/or cabinets in your room and have a certain box for each thing like jewelry, sports stuff, CDs, etc. Hope this helps!

I've been hearing rumors about my boyfriend lately... sayin that he does drugs. I asked him about it and he said that he's never done drugs. Even one of his friends says that he's tried it... i dunno who to beleive. My friends think i should break up with him but i trust him. I don't know what to do! What should I do?

If you believe that he's not doing drugs and you trust him, then there's no reason to break up with him. But if you're not quite sure, bc some rumors can be true, I'd just tell him how you feel. explain that you trust him but you've just heard so many rumors that you want to know exactly what is going on. and don't pressure him too much about it, like going "tell me if you're doing drugs or I'll break up with you!" because if he's not, you don't wanna lose him over a misunderstanding. show both sides of the argument: if he's not doing drugs then that's great and you'll know who's speaking the truth and who's not, but if he is maybe you could help him through it. Good luck and write back if you need more help!

I always look at myself and see how not pretty I am. I hate it. Then I look around at all my friends..why do they get to be automatically pretty? No makeup for some--but still not ugly. I have kind of chubby cheeks but not huge. I have dark blonde, almost brown-ish straight hair a little past my shoulders. I'm sort of tan, but not much. My eyes are hazel, mostly green. If I go out or to school, I wear eyeliner and that's it. I also have a little bit of a belly. I really think I'm not pretty. I've never had a boyfriend, and maybe that's why? Any ideas for makeup that's not too drastic, that will make my face look better? If you have ANYTHING..please tell me.

Hey, It sounds like you're really not ugly, maybe you just think you are? Everybody's gonna look different, and everyone has different perspectives on who is or isn't pretty. You don't have to wear makeup if you want to look prettier but if you really want to then, natural colors go well on anyone, & i heard that if you have green eyes, like a lavender color eyeshadow can bring out the green color. And you could try brown mascara bc that's not too drastic and it would probably go with the color of your hair. You could always go to one of thoses makeup stands in the mall and the makeup artist there can tell you what colors etc. would be good for you. Good luck with that & just have some more self confidence, no ones perfect:)

ok this is the girl who is havin a fight wit the frizzy haired girl well she was the one who started the fight between us and she pushed to of my realli good friends into lockers and she was ya i pushed them her mom comes by she starts to cry and says no she got us in trouble wit the princle we onli said the jokes to her face once and spread a rumor moesia punched her so y do u take her side

Hey, I wasn't trying to take anyone's sides but I'm just saying that you're lucky to have lots of good friends, unlike her, & ya what she did was wrong, but maybe you could try seeing it from her point of view and then maybe you'll understand why she does all that bad stuff.

I have alot of guy friends that are juniors and seniors and i have been asked to prom a few times....but see, im only a sophmore...Do you think its ok to go that young or should i wait and let it be more special?

It's really your choice. If you want to go now, then go! especially since you've already been asked. It's not considered wrong to go as a sophmore, just remember that there's going to b mostly juinors and seniors there. But if you want it to be an experience shared mainly with people your grade and you want to make it more "special" then wait till next year. either way, you decide! Good luck!

ok the other night i was at a party/sleepover and me and my friend got dared (for 10$ each) to make out with each other. we did it because we figured it wasnt a big deal and we were getting ten dollars each. but then everyone started taking turns doing it and i ended up doing it at least three times. im not lesbian or bisexual but i feel like what i did makes me one now. not that its a bad thing but its just not what i want to be. does what i did make me a lesbian? i dont know what to think about myself anymore.
please help!

Just doing a certain thing doesn't MAKE you a lesbian, it's a person's choice to be a lesbian or straight or gay or whatever. So unless, you CHOOSE to be a lesbian, you're not. But just remember that next time you do something like that, people might start spreading rumors, just make sure it's something you can deal with.

I am a 15/female and am redoing my bedroom (besides my furniture.) The furniture I currently have is like a beige color. My carpet is also beige and my walls are bare and white. My room is fairly large. Right now the design is like roses, but not cute ones, like old lady roses. I want to make the room more teenagerish, less my parents designing it when I was in second grade. Please, any ideas for my room or if you are a teenage girl, could you tell me what your room is like. All advice would be enjoyed! Thank you!!

hey! well all this depends on what you like and how drastically you want to change your room. if you don't want to do too much painting, try adding a cute wallpaper or border that accents another color or design in your room. but if you want to have an awesome time painting your room, try spongepainting or splattering your walls. also, make sure the theme and/or colors you choose for you room are something you'll like for years to come becuase you'll be looking at it everyday, I'm guessing.

I need a way to dump this guy im going out with but like not, its not you, its me thing cuz thats soooo old, anyway..just plz ill rate high if you give me a way to dump him and i just wanna it to be the way it was were we were good friends..but i odnt want it to change when i dump him and i dont want him to hate me!
Thanx in advance
xoxo
-confused

The best thing to do is just to tell him the truth! bc it's gonna be hard for you to make it like it was when you all were just good friends if you lie to him. If you just like him like a friend, then tell him! But don't expect him to be totally happy with this answer. If he's upset, it's okay. You canvshow him that you still care about him, just as a friend. Good luck!

this is kinda long but i seriously need help...my bf of 4 months now who i really love and things are going GREAT...well his ex is trying to talk to me now. she IMed me this morning and said hey you dont know me but i know derek, how are things going with him? and then we just started talking....she said he broke her heart and she loved him and he was her first kiss and all this shit. and she said he told her he loved her too. and shes like yea we hung out all summer..does he ever mention me? becuse it was a crazy summer! and shes asking me to talk to derek ( my boyfriend, her ex) and asking him to just be friends with her. because they dont talk at all now. shes really nice..but i KNOW she still has feelings for him...shes saying how she just wants to be his friend now and if i could please talk to him for her but im afraid if i do...shell try to take him away from me...what do i do about this? im getting really jealous and i told her i would talk to him abuot her and stuff..im trying not to be that jealous overprrotective girlfriend...HELP

♥ JaDe

Whoa, that's complicated. But if you told her you'd talk to him, then you probably should. But that's no reason for you to have to tell your bf her life story since they broke up. You could just say, "_____ told me to tell you hey" But if you really don't feel comfortable talking to him for her, (which is totally understandable bc who wants to be the messengergirl between two exes?!)then you tell her straightup. If she still doesn't understand, then that's her problem bc you're not her messenger.

ok me and sally my best friend her boyfriend billy and our good friend cindy got into a fight with tapanga we started a joke bout her have a mop for hair because i mean this girl HAS REALLY FRIZZY HAIR MY GOD but anyway i started a joke called she needs a weedwacker or lawnmower now everyone says it to her (hehe) SHE is a crybaby and got her mom into it so her mom came up to the school she pushed cindy and billy and when her mom asked if she did she was like no and cryed and she is spreading a rumor that our other friend moesia punched she just wants everyone on her side and we no she nos we are right bout everything How do we tell her to BACK OFF stop going to ur mom for everything and that she is a crybaby who needs a weed wacker to comb her hair she thinks she cool but she is not she has no friends and i am not just sayin it i saw her buddy list she has 5 I RATE GOOD

i kno you probably don't wanna hear this but first off, try not spreading rumors about her anymore. So try just patching it up with her, even if it's not ur fault, it's easier just to apologize and get it over with so you don't have to deal w/ it anymore. Be like "______, look I'm sorry about what we said about you and we won't do it again so let's just drop this ok?" hopefully, she'll be glad enough with your apology and will drop it. try to see this from her point of view also, if she has as little number of friends as you say then she probably is a really unhappy kid who is very insecure and that's most likely why she cries so much, lied about pushing you guys and is spreading another rumor. So if she deserves anything, it's sympathy and friends who can show her that she needs to shape up without insulting her. I kno how stupid that sounds, but seriously think about it and you'll understand. Good luck with all that!

I'm inviting 4 of my best friends over for a small group gathering party. We're going to the movies, which'll take up like 4 hours.. But do you guys have anymore ideas.. Thanks XO

4 people is a good number of people to go place w/ so how about...if it's girls, or guys how just really like to shop, u guys could go to the mall or something, or ice skating or just regular skating, you could go somewhere for dinner, or go to a dance club. hmmm that's all I can think of right now. hope you all have fun!:)

Ya you definitely did the right thing by "controling ur urges and just talkin to him" b/c, like you said, if you were his gf, you would b really mad and upset and he might've not...taken it the right way if u kno what i mean. & who knows? maybe one day he'll be single and remember how mature you acted about all this and you definitely have a better shot with him that way!:)

ok tomorro night my dad and i are going out for a steak dinner and maybe some shopping. My friend tutored me for free a few times, which was really nice of her. My mom suggested me taking her tomorro.. my dad said he didnt mind even though he did mention he'd rather it be just the two of us. What should i choose to do?

Since you already made plans w/ your dad, it would probably be better to keep it to just you two, especially if you don't get to spend that much time w/ him. But that was really nice of your friend to tutor you so maybe you can invite her to do something with you another time. Explain your plan to your mom and hopefully she'll understand. Good luck:)
