Could rope jumping be counted as cardio excersizes? (link)
| |
yes, anything that gets the blood flowing is good cardio exercise, walking fast is another good one.

I used to be in gymnastics but I quit and I lost all my flexibility, now my dance teacher is expecting me to do the splits and I can't!
I can't even touch my toes without bending my knees anymore!
How can I get my flexibility back apart from practicing loads, haha? (link)
| |
try some stretching exercises and eventually work your way back into it. It is not good for your muscles to all of a sudden make them do things they are unused to doing again.

Isn't for any one of us to tell you not to hun, but sounds to me like you really don't want to either. If you think there is a chance that you will do something that you are going to regret, the best suggestion that I could offer is tell him that you do not want that right now, and bow out gracefully. I wouldn't go over there and stay either, that way you aren't feeling vulnerable to do something that you feel isn't in your best interest.

Whenever my parents go out to "buy" me clothes, that's when the problem starts. They always buy me things like plaid skinny leg pants or big, oversized T-shirts, and that just isn't my style- I prefer jeans and a nice, form-fitting tee. Is there a way to tell then that I don't wear things that I used to wear as a little girl without hurting their feelings? (link)
| |
Why not suggest to go shopping with them next time and make it a family outting, that way, you can pick out what you want, and maybe your parents will start to see that you are changing taste in clothing.

Ok im 13. I have a boyfriend but..i always so nervous around him, like i dont know what to say and i dont want to say something stupid or embarrasing. We aren't in the same class and we dont live near eachother so we don't even really see eachother much. Then in school he won't come over to me and i can never find him and when i do see him he's always with this girl Deena and her boyfriend Jeff. I really wish i wasn't soo nervous to talk to him and we could be closer and hold hands and hug. What should i do?

sounds as if this is a boyfriend/girlfriend for the sake of saying that he has one maybe?
If I were you, I'd just keep this as looking at him as a friend and keep your options open, you are going to want someone who is going to be a friend to you first and doesn't sound like he's really doing that at school. Not saying this to hurt your feelings, but don't sell yourself short. Someone who really cares about you is going to be willing to also spend time with you. :)

What are some ways that u put a tampon it that makes it easier..ive only tried sitting down but that doesnt seem to make things any easier (link)
| |
easiest way would be to prop up one leg on a taller surface while standing up, such as the toilet or side of the bathtub.
|
hi, i'm chloe
This boy asked me to go out with him as in be in a girlfriend, boyfriend thing. I wanted to say yes but said no instead because, I wasn't sure I knew how to be someones girlfriend and would like more to go out on a couple of dates with him than start a relationship. But my friend had set the whole "asking me out thing" up, so I'd have a boyfriend and is now saying "he's probably the only boy who'll ever like you" which is making me regret doing it.But I'll look stupid if I ask him out now plus he's being a bit out of order to me at the moment. What should I do? (link)
|
whoa, fist of all, what sort of real friend makes a statement like that??
If you don't feel comfortable with becoming someone's "girlfriend" without knowing them, then by all means don't do it.
Sounds to me like you are very wise in that matter.
And if he's reacting that way after rejection, I would not worry with him either.

im not saying im fat but i just wanted to go on a diet that would help me lose some stomach fat off. i have some rolls on my stomach and the rest of my body is fine and i was wondering what kinds of foods i should eat and avoid and what workouts are great.. and if you say try running outside i cant but i can use the stairs in the house that i have (link)
|
The key to anything is moderation, but it is a slower process. I am not one to reccommend eliminating any food group. I myself have lost about 40 lbs and it's taken a long time, but I still eat what I want, just less of it.
Situps are a good exercise to get stomach rolls off.

Who knows what your mom is thinking dear one...but you are a precious precious little soul. I have not been where you are, I cannot say that I understand how you feel. You are such a big person even now because even though you know how she feels, you still regard her as your mother and you love her. It's almost like the roles are reversed in your situation. We can't change who people are unfortunately, but we can change what and who we become. The only thing that I could suggest to you would be for you to lead by example and "show" your mom that you love her whether or not she loves you. Find someone though who can give you that nurturing of a mother figure, you will need that..even if it's a teacher or mentor.

so where do i begin? My family is only me, my sister and my mom. We're always contantly fighting! It gets so annoying!! I'm always fighting with my sister and sometimes my mom, and my sister is ALWAYS fighting with my mom. How can I make it so we fight less? My mom and sister are very...if i say something little their all over me. my sister doesnt quit until she gets her way!! how can i make it so they fight less often? (link)
| |
From what you have said, I am getting that you guys don't communicate much without arguing. My suggestion would be to have all of you sit down and have a powwow of sorts with each person agreeing to "listen" to what the others have to say without arguing.......then, once ya'll do that, sit down and each of you participate in a do's and don'ts list. You can also find an activity that everyone enjoys that is lighthearted and fun.

i just bought a jeep. an '87 renagade to be exact. ive still ogt a year before i can drive it so my dad said we can take this year to work on it. we just bout a jbl marine radio for it and right now we are looken for some speekers. we want the sound bar that goes right behind your head. its navy blue with a tan top any ideas on interior color, sound bars, or tires
i will rate 5's for a good answer nothing like its up to you. (link)
|
Interior color would depend on the exterior color. You also have to factor in the area that you live in and the temperatures and climate. If you are located in a relatively hot area, I'd suggest something neutral like light tan, also, that will go with anything that you paint outside if you are planning to do so. I'd also suggest that you go with vinyl or an easy cleaning cloth to cover the seats.
Sorry, but I don't know much about sound systems...lol

I have really, really fine hair. It's lately been getting really really frizzy. Its a little below the shoulder and there's a little layers on it. It's also light-medium brown. Can you give me any suggestions to stop it from being frizzy and not take a lot of time doing it? (link)
|
Frizzy Hair can come from a few things...
Make sure that there are no dead ends on your hair, if so, get them cut off.
Check the types of shampoo that you are using also and make sure that you find one that is PH Balanced. Shampoos often have ammonia in them which causes dryer hair.
Also, your hormones could be changing leading to that.
When you go to the salon next time, ask what they reccommend, usually a heavy conditioner will take care of temporary frizziness.

ok if i have unprotected sex(stupid and dumb i know)...but the guy cums in my mouth and not in me....can i still have gotten pregnant?? i need serious SERIOUS help! (link)
|
If he came in your mouth, no, you cannot get pregnant.
However, if there is any type of sexual activity at all penetration wise, even without having an orgasm, it is still possible to become pregnant.
Even though you feel at the moment that this was dumb, please do not get a false sense of security about this.....remember how you are feeling now, so that you won't have to ever feel like this again.
|
ok so im in 10 grade and this guy is in 12th.
He has a myspace and so i.
On my space he like always talks to me and like flirts with me. But during Classes he acts like im not there and ignores me. Our school i VERY small so we like see each other like more then 6 times a day. And like i think he likes me but im not sure cause he ignores me and doesnt talk to me at all unless we are on hte internet. so do you think he likes me ? i hope he does cause he is hella fine...
(link)
|
lol, men are strange creatures dear one....and that never changes.
If you like him, let him know and talk to him about it, see how he feels.
If it helps you to know that I am 32 and that mine is 38 and still acts like a teenage boy sometimes.....lol

how does birth control work? should the guy still have a condom on if your on birth control? and how much does birth control cost? (link)
|
Best method of birth control is abstenence (probably not spelled right, sorry) lol
And I am sure that is not what you wanted to hear.
The facts about birth control is that they are only 97% or so effective, also birth control does not protect you against viral diseases.
They are not effective if for any reason you have to take an antibiotic either. Depending on if you are a smoker or not can also lead to side effects.
The cost is usually a doctor's exam, which in my area is about 75 dollars or so, and the prescripts for the pills is about 30-40 dollars per month.
I will give you a round of applause for being responsible before you plan to have sex, there are way too many teens and younger adults who simply don't think about this and end up with unwanted children.

Im in chorus at my school. I love singing and the class is sooo fun..my teacher is the best and i love singing at concerts. We just did The Phantom of the Opera and it was fun! I know that sounds corny but i really like it. I love being on stage. Well we had to sing for the graduates this yr and i felt embarrassed. We had to wear these lame chorus shirts and blue skirts. Everyone was laughing or snickering why we were singing..i felt soo embarrassed. All my friends make fun of me and im tired of it. Should i just quit chorus or what? (link)
| |
NO NO NO and NO again....DO NOT QUIT something that you find so passionate. I used to get laughed at myself and turned down a scholarship for opera singing for different reasons (I didn't have the confidence to go for it) I am so sure that people laughed at Mozart, and also Beethoven, but look at what those two alone accomplished! If you love what you are doing, and you feel that for yourself that it is right...don't let anyone else blow out your candle because they are too immature to see the true meaning in what you are doing.

i'm with this guy that i really care about and well, i've never had a serious boyfriend before and well, i'm not exactly sure what to do about people spreading rumours and stuff. i haven't been telling alot of people but alot of people know i'm going out with somebody they just don't know who, and i'm not sure if i should just let everybody know so they'd all shut up and stop bugging me to tell them or not tell them and let them find out for themselves. thanks (link)
| |
If you don't want to tell anyone, don't. It is your choice and to tell something to get people to stop bugging you is pointless. Stick with your gut.

My love life is so messed up. I have no idea what to do and I'm so sick of trying to meet people. On one hand, I have my ex from about 6 months ago, on the other hand, I have a senior who I'm interested in. I don't know if either of the guys like me, or if I have a chance with either of them, the whole thing sort of irritates me. What the heck should I do.
signed,
nearly given up (link)
|
What is love? Now that is an age old question that I could sit here nearly all day and attempt to answer.
What I'm getting is that you have a fear of being alone, which is normal at your age. Before getting involved with anyone, you need to learn what you want, what's important to you and find someone who complements those features in yourself. Never look for someone to complete you, you will never find that.

ok sometimes my side hurts. its kind of hard to explain where it hurts though..it just does. the feeling is hard to explain too. its not a period type cramp, its not worse either, but i can barely feel it, but it still hurts. somtimes it hurts in the front, sometimes on the side, and sometimes on my back. its on my left side, and my right side never hurts. it doesnt hurt every day and this is about the 3rd time its happend in like 2 weeks? it doesnt hurt as much when im sitting...mostly when im standing. could i have a small kidney stone or something? i told my mom a while ago, but she just laughed because im always saying something is wrong with me because i heard about it on tv, so now i think it happend to me. but, i this is real. im 13 years old by the way, and im a girl. i dont really want to go to the doctor, because who wants a doctor like feeling me on my left side on my lower back? and i think i have heard you either have to have surgery, or they get a pee sample. i hate doing that because i never have to go and i feel so embarresed handing them my pee..lol. is there any other ways that they check to see if somethings wrong? would i go to my normal doctor that i go to when i get colds or something? what else do you think could be wrong? do you think its something wrong with my left kidney? what should i do? just wait and see what happens like i have been? the pain hasnt been getting worse, and it hasnt been hurting more often. just maybe about every 4, 5, or 6 days i think. is it even possible for such a young girl to have something wrong with her kidney? (im 13 once again..) i weigh 114 and im 5'2 if that matters at all. thanx! please help! :o( (link)
|
Do you drink a lot of soda? If so, could possibly be a kidney infection. Drink more water and when you are hurting, cranberry juice.
HOWEVER, I am not a doctor and if this pain is consistent, the best thing to do is to go to a professional.
|
I'm realy bored.Can you think of something for me to do?
thank you (link)
| |
A bored mind can be a dangerous thing at times...lol....My suggestion would be for you to find an activity that you truly enjoy such as music or the arts and do those things when you become bored.
