What is your definition of skinny enough and is my mom saying that I was overweight before and now I am skinny or am I reading too much into this: STORY TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY: I am thin and A FEW DAYS AGO when I came home from work I changed into a tee-shirt but wore the same pants I wore to work. She asked me as I sat down to eat if I lost weight, and I said no, but this upset me. I said to her that she always tells me I look beautiful. She said you do look beautiful but your pants look bigger. And she told me that I am skinny enough. " (link)
"Skinny enough" all depends on your body type, there's no set definition. Also, just going by your weight as compared to your height (like BMI) isn't always a good thing because if you are more athletic you will weigh more than someone less muscular even though you might actually be healthy. Google "BMI calculator" though if you want a general definition. Don't worry about what your mom says, she's probably just being a normal mother. Just don't stress about your weight and being "too fat," I'm sure you're beautiful just the way you are.


so i got fake nails today and they're driving me insane and i can't type or do anything right with my hands...

so how do i get them off or at least make them shorter????????

i tried clipping them and they're too thick.

help me (link)
Try soaking your hands in nail polish remover, it usually dissolves the glue. After a couple minutes they should start to come off, but don't pull at them because it'll mess up your nails and they'll look really weird. Good luck!


my mom and dad like to yell at me all time, but when it come to my sister and bother they at all, it like every think i do is wrong, every thing i say is wrong. i try 2 make them happy and proud of me,but it seems to fell every time. WHAT DO I DO TO MAKE THEM HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (link)
My parents do that all the time, I think it's because I'm the oldest so they're trying to get me to be perfect and then if I'm not they know not to expect perfection from my little brothers and sister. But I guess it could happen if you're a middle or youngest child too, just different psychology there. Don't let it bug you too much, and try to avoid getting into arguments about it with them. Try calmly and rationally talking to them about it, and if that doesn't work just accept it and realize it has nothing to do with you in particular. I know it's annoying, but if your parents won't listen then there's nothing you can do. Good luck!


how does it work? lots of people say it does work, but do you just chew it like normal gum, or do you have to press it up against you teeth?
thanks!! (link)
You don't have to do anything, just chew it like it's normal gum. It'll work while you're chewing, you don't need to do anything extra.


Okay. 15/f. I have a guy friend...and he JUST got a girlfriend. And I never really liked him in that way. But now, since he talks about her IN MY FACE...And he ALWAYS does that these days, it annoys the SH*T out of me. OH MY GOSH. I just want to go over there...and tell her off or something. (the thing is...I don't like her that much). I'm jealous. I'll say it right away. And it's an icky feeling. How does one overcome it? Ugh...it's so gross! (link)
Just tell him that you're happy for him, but you've heard enough. Don't worry, his relationship won't last forever, even though it might feel like it is. The best thing you can do is wait it out, and if you act uninterested when he brings her up, he'll get the picture.


hey;
ok so, next saturday is my sister's wedding. it is going to be in the backyard of my house [huge] which is a couple of acres. so on all the invatations, they specifically put NO CHiLDREN PLEASE. however, since i`m her sister [i`m 13] i can obviously go. now, i`m thinking it may be a bit boring, so i want to bring my friend gabie. she`s my age. however, her parents can`t come bcuz they have nothing to do with my family & my parents just want close friends and relatives. they are allowing me to have gabie since i might get bored or something' WHAT SHOULD i DO?????
please help me! what should i do?


THANK YOU SO MUCH iN ADVANCE; HELP ME PLEASE.
i`m a raterr.

HELp!
thanks (link)
Try saying something like "Hey Gabie, my sister's wedding is this Saturday and I'd really like it if you could come so I'd have someone to hang out with. Is it OK if your parents don't come, though, my parents don't really know them that well and they just want it to be relatives and a couple close friends, so it'd be kind of awkward." Hope it helps!


Hey, so my bf and I don't make plans with eachother too often, but when we do he doesn't show. Like we planned to go to a dance together and that day I was talking to him and he randomly said I am grounded today. And I didn't even think that he wouldn't go to the dance because he was grounded. We weren't even like talking about the dance when he said he was grounded. So he didn't show up at the dance, and I was all alone. Then he said he would go to my basketball game, and he didn't go and when I called him his excuse was he was grounded. Then we were going to go to a hockey game and I called him twenty minutes before the game to make sure that we were still on, and then he was like oh yah I can't I'm grounded. So I was pissed because he wasn't even goining to call me and tell me that he couldn't go. And on top of that I asked him for his cell phone number and he wouldn't tell me. It's not like he just didn't tell me he won't tell anyone, but what is up with that. He won't even tell his best friend his number. But he told me that he loved me, and is planning on kissing me. Am I missing something??? We are going to the movies this weekend if he stands me up again what should I do I really like him. People say that I should have already broken up with him.

HELP!!

Thanks : /

Tell him how you feel about him making and breaking these commitments, and see if he seems genuinely sorry. If he does, give him another chance. If he doesn't, or if he just keeps blowing you off, you should break up and find a guy who has time for you. Good luck!


Im a freshman in highscchool and my bf's a senior. We havent been goin out for long but i really like him. My parents were fine with him at first but now they think we'r having sex and stuff, so they dont trust me. And my mom wont let me see him anymore, so its difficult because we never get to hang out. And im not aloud to go in his car, and now they wont even let me stay after school for extra help because they think im with him. They are being waaayy too strict and my mom never listens to me when i ell her this. I hate how shes so protective and she doenst let me do like anything. Its annoying and i seriously want to move out, but i cant. Its stressing both me and my bf out, but he said hes not goin to let it get to him because he really likes me and wants our relationship to last. But its so agrravating how they wont let me do ANYTHING! how can i get them to give me more freedom? and what do i do about seeing my bf? (link)
To make your parents trust you more, you should calmly and rationally try to explain to them that you understand the kind of behavior they expect from you and make sure they know that you wouldn't betray their trust or do anything you know they wouldn't approve of. About seeing your bf, you should respect your parents wishes and follow their rules because that is the way to prove how mature you are. As tempting as it may seem, if you disobey your parents and they find out (which they most likely would, eventually), it's not worth it because you would have to work even harder to undo the damage and regain their trust.


Can you tell if someones in to you? (link)
If someone's into you, they'll find excuses to be around you. Also, look for signs that they are a little bit nervous. And think about if they are asking you a question or something like that because you're the easiest person to ask, or if it would be just as easy for them to ask one of their friends. If you catch them staring at you, especially more than once, it's a pretty sure bet. Try catching their eye and smiling, and see if they smile back. Flirt a little to see if they flirt back, but be careful not to completely throw yourself at them because that could be a turnoff or just freak them out a little.


Can someone tell me the answer to this?

1. The scale of two similar quadrilaterals is 1:2. The perimeter of the smaller quadrilateral is 80 centimeters. What is the perimeter of the larger quadrilateral?

A. 40cm
B. 80cm
C. 160cm
D. 320cm


THANKS! (link)
Basically, if the scale is 1:2, then each side of the larger quadrilateral is twice the length of the corresponding side of the smaller quadrilateral. So you just take the perimeter, 80 cm, times 2, which is 160 cm. Therefore, the answer is C.


Mmkay. 15/f So my boyfriend and I have been going out for like... since september. We're really close because of what we've been through before our relationship. But now we've both noticed we're drifting apart. When we talk, there isn't much to talk about so we barely talk. Maybe even not speaking to each other for days. Yesterday we talked about all this. What we should do about our relationship and stuff. We both understand why we don't and why we do. He says he'll be happy as long as I'm happy, so I have the final say about ths whole thing. Should I break up or not? (link)
Wait awhile, and see if things get any better. You could just be going through a phase in your relationship and soon you'll be as close as ever. But if it doesn't get any better then you should consider breaking it off with him. When you're with someone and it's meant to be, you'll have a connection and you won't have to worry about drifting apart. It seems like you both really care about your relationship, and I hope everything works out for the best. Good luck!


I feel really awkward when people ask me about my religion and stuff because i'm agnostic and don't think there is a way to prove if god is real or not. I really don't want to tell my friends that because most of them are really religious and i'm scared they wouldn't like me if I did. Why do people think it's such a big deal if you don't believe in god? I don't know if I should tell them or not. (link)
You need to be honest with your friends and if they are real friends they will like you for who you are and it won't matter too much. However, don't engage in arguments with them about your beliefs. You are entitled to your own opinion and it's a part of you so accept it, and if they're good friends then they will too. Personally, I don't believe in God, but most of my friends are Catholic. Just don't let it bother you at all, and it won't bother your friends either.
