well i really want and adiveantor but my mom doesnt want me to have one but i really really want one what should i do please help
i love you katie you are awsome
Haha, thanks =)
Just tell her all the pro's of this site. Like how many people need help and how you can help them all. How its safe and you don't always answer all the questions that are asked. She probalby has her reasons why she doesn't want you to have one, the internet is a creepy place.
Hey Katie
well i have this friend that i cant stand and she never stays away from me she is like an annoying sister that i cant get away from adn i dont have the heart to tell her that i want her away from me. What should i dont i cant stand her and she ALWAYS follows me i have no clue what to do can you help me
The right thing to do would be to tell her, and I would tell you to let her down easy but its hard for anyone to tell someone that they need to back off. So try avoiding her, maybe try and latch her off of you and onto someone else. I know that sounds bad and cruel but it can work. You don't want to ditch her, but just make other plans with people before she comes around and asks if you can hang out. Try going the oppisite direction when you see her in school. But don't amake it obvious because she'd be really hurt and like "wtf" if she knows your avoiding her and stuff. You should tell her how you feel, but maybe untill you get the courage try doing those things. Don't treat her badly, because just put yourself in her shoes and see how you would feel if that happened to yuo. Hope this helped =)

you know how sometimes people look better on some days than others?
Why is that?
Like ill have a day where I look prettier than another day
and i used to think it was the clothes but then i would wear the clothes again
and it wouldnt look the same.
Same goes for guys,
why is this?
I think its just weird too. Sometimes it depends on your mood or when you wake up. If you are really sad then you should probalby look moopy and bags under you eyes. If your happier, your smile and cheerful vibe mnakes you look spunkier and better. Then if you wake up early or later, that matters too. Cuase when you have big eyes and racoon circles by your eyes your not going to look as good as you do when you get up at a good time and look well rested.
im 14 years old and im a female. i play alot of sports.. so my legs are kindof big.. i mean.. i knw its muscle but somtimes i just look in the mirror and think its fat. and like... some guys have said im fat before and it makes me wanna cry. i hate picking out jeans because my legs are really skinny and i see all these little petite girls picking out size zeros or twos. im like a size 5... i hate my legs. and im so self consious... what should i do?
Im no sports trainer, and I dont know how to loose weigh in particular spots. Someone I know ran alot and she got tiny. Her legs were so much thinner and she fit into smaller jeans, and the jeans she had were baggy on her. I heard from another person that lifting weights makes your mucles bigger, but running makes you loose wiegh. So maybe go on the tredmil if you have one, for 20 miuntes a day. Jog 10 miuntes, walk 5, jog another 5. What ever you perfer. By the way, some girls would kill for thy musles like you have i bet. Hope this helped

this girl lets call her mary kind of stole my bff. & i still like my bff a lot but now we never hang out because of mary. & i cant stand mary . she is probably the rudest person i have ever met. so what do i do? thanks much
Try and call your bff, talk to her, act like you would if you were still bff. Ask to hang out, or go somewhere with you. Maybe even try hanging out wtih both of them once before you decide to dislike "Mary", she could turn out to be decent. Hope this helped
17/M Right now, I feel about 20lbs overweight. Everytime I look down all I see is a giant mass of stomach and I've been desperately trying to get rid of it. I've managed to get it down a tiny bit but I feel like all my efforts are going to waste. I dont have a car so I walk EVERWHERE, I eat enough to sustain my daily energy intake and I work out. Is there a certain way I should be exercizing or something else that I may not be doing? I drink milk quite a bit, could that be it? Please respond. Thank you.

These sites I think are good. Im sure you can get your stomach down if you keep working on it. I know you want results quick and I'd love that too, but unfortunatly its not how it works. Those sites might help more and explain better then me.
hey katie well i have a group of friends i hang out with and i love them to death but sometimes i fell like i am getting left out like the past few weeks they never ask me to come over and i no i didnt do anything they all call me goodie 2 shoes and that i would never start drama like some people do but they never ask me to come over any more but they hang out with me at school what should i do
thanks soooo much
Maybe you should really look and see if you are doing something that iritates them. If they arn't going to ask you to hang out, maybe you need to ask them. They might not call you, but do you call them? I know you should never change for people, but sometimes you change for the better and for a good reason. I would change if I really really needed to for my friends. But if or before you do try and act different make sure they are serious about how they feel for your attitude and not just pissed at you for some reason and using that excuse to cover it up. I'm NOT telling you that its all your fault or you need to change cause that might not be the case, sometime girls just act queer and bitchy. I hope this helped.

Okay so last monday me and some friends were hanging out. And the boy I so happen to have a crush on was there but he has a girlfriend. Okay well we were flirting A LOT. And by the end of the day we ended up kissing. >_< I feel so horrible about this! So basically I made him cheat on his girlfriend. And everyday I feel worse and worse about it. What do I do? Im so confused right now. =(
You can't really do anything besides say sorry, which if his girlfriend finds out will be super pissed/upset I bet. Buts its not just your fault, its half his too. Sure you kissed him, but he kissed back right? He cheated on his girlfriend which is his problem, but you kissed him too.
Theres this boy I like
and he hates me now.
I had sex with him before he hated me ,yes i know he used me basically.
I still unfortunately like him, as much As I try not to.
He talked to me , not to long ago.
Maybe a week ago , and told me he didnt hate me.
Yet, he told other people he did, but i thought that was a coverup becuase the school knew about the sex situation.
Also he stares at me
not that I should talk becuase I stare at him just as equal.
And I think about the sex thing all the time, do you think he thinks about it too?
[it was both of our first times]
I just dont know what to do becuase I like him so much and I don't want it to be like this forever we used to be very good friends.

He still thinks about it, I bet. Espically if he still stares at you too. Maybe he thinks of it as much as you, maybe more... but he does think about it. Maybe you should give it a little time to heal before you go in on an open wound, if you understand what i mean. Sometimes time heals things and you just need to let that be. I would give it a little time, then try and talk to him. Maybe if you catch him looking at you, give him a little smile. Or just tell him how you feel (thats never easy though) and how you'd like to be atleast friends again. I hope this helped
this upcoming friday i'm going to a private gymnastics lesson, is there anything i should know in advance? i'm learning my backhand spring cause i need it for cheerleading next year.
i can't do a split right now so any advice on getting one quick; like by april? and toe touches?
for the back walkover, any easy ways to walk over? i can do a bridge but i can't quite walk over yet. i don't know why not cause i feel confident lol
:]
any tips for gymnastics or whatever, let me know please!
You probably won't get a flipflop (backhandspring) in one lesson. But go home and work on them with a friend who can do one and knows what they are doing. My sister taugh me alot more then any tumbling place did about cheerleading.
Keep stretching. My mom was a ballerina and she told me she can still do the splits if she stretches it out for a few days. Just keep stretching and you will become more flexible.
Like with back walk overs, theres no easy way, you just hve to keep working on it. Tumbling doesn't come easy to some people so thats why you need to stretch and practice at home. Do brigdes and hold them for 20-30 seconds or more. Make sure your doing them the right way. Like I said, get a friend who knows how to tumble or someone you can hang out with to help you out.
ok.. i have 3. :]
what are some ways to whiten your teeth without getting whitening strips?
is there any way you can target one area on your body to lose weight? like, say your face?
is doing crunches the best way to give you a flat stomach? if so, how long and what do you need to do to get a nice toned stomach?
1. My mother, other advicenators, and people I know say that baking soda works. Baking soda or baking soda and salt.. I dont think it matters? Or whitening gum, or Crest Gel Affects. I reccomd the baking soda (fyi: its not harmful to swallow, but don't go swallowing it for fun). Just after you finsihed brushing your teeth, put some baking soda on your brush and srub your teeth.
2. I dont think so. There might be, but from things Ive heard over and over again.. "You can't loose fat in one place" was one of them. If your looking to loose weigh, try jogging everyday. My sister did and she got tiny. Its not going to drop pounds in a snap, but if you do it everyday im sure after some amount of time you will see results.
3. Crunches are good. Anything is good for your stomach, like snap v's (were you lay on your back and bring your legs and top half togther in a V shape) cause we did them all the time at cheerleading to help us get muscular. I hear excersizing on a excersize ball is helpful too. When you do throwdowns (when your laying on your back, someone stands over you and pushes your legs down and you have to let them not hit the ground) they are pretty cool and fun to do, by yourself or not. Again, Im not sure how long you need to do these to get toned, but if you wanted to stay toned you would do these everyday, maybe when you wake up then like when your watching tv before you sleep do a few.

does anybody know of any quotes/lyrics that say something along the lines of..
-you have to work hard for what you want
-willing to do whatever it takes to be the best
thanks =]

That is a good one. It is good to use like to inspire a team or something along that line.
hello :] i saw on here that
if you can whiten your teeth
if you mix baking soda and
salt together and brush your
teeth with it after your done
brushing it with the toothpaste.
is that safe? just wondering :]
Its safe. If you swallow some it wont make you like die or annything, maybe if you have a senstive stomach then it could give you a tummy ach. I do that, the only thing I hate is the taste.
I have an sansa e200 mp3 player, and none of my music is playing on my mp3 player. It's downloaded and everything else is working but everytime I pick a song it has 00:00 on both sides of the track time, and it won't play. Anybody know whats wrong?
Im not 100% sure, but that happened to my ipod too. I needed to redownload the songs. So try that and it might work.
Hey for people who have braces (or you got one before), can you tell me if you had more cuts on the top teeth or the bottom teeth? Because I just got my braces on my bottom tetth and the teeth are tinier then the top so it's so hard to brush and I can't even move my mouth around so I'm hoping I don't get cuts from them or else I'd be in deep trouble..
I'm not sure if this is what you were asking, but if you get alot of cuts on your lips (I dont have braces but I have something else to prepair for braces and there are metal brackets on the side of my mouth) you should try wax. I'm sure your orthodontist has some. You just put it over your braces or whichever part is cuting your lips. It feels alot nicer and it should be good untill your less sore from geting braces. Hope this helped
ive had discharge for like one or two years (im 13. i havent had my periodd yet but i've been getting cramps every once in a while. ive had cramps before in the past but they just stop after a while. im still having these cramps but not all the time. just wondering, do you think i might get my period soon. thankssss =]
You probably will soon. Even if you don't, you will evenutally. I bet it will come soon. If your dischange gets bad and smells then just wear thin pantyliner. And if you have cramps take like Midol or some other cramp relieving pain. They work really well.
Lately, I kinda have been wanting a thong or like something pretty much like it. Just the thing is im kinda too embarrassed to get one. and if my parents ever saw it (mostly my dad) would like make jokes about it or pick on me about it (really embarrassing). anther thing is if i were to get one, id prob. want it from a&e or victoria secrets or something but im like really small. for my pants im a 14 slim (thats in abercrombie) && in pac sun im a 00.i dont know if victoria secrets would fit me or what. and then even if they did i find it embarressing just to go shopping for underwear/thongs!
Pink from Victoria Secrects is good. Um American Eagle. Pac Sun. Probalby abut anywhere in a mall near you. A Kolhs, Target, Kmart even hahaha. But they will fit you if you get like XS at Pink or American Eagle. If you just get one, you'll eventually get over you fear. Its not that bad, theres always a first for everything. People don't really look at you werid when your picking them out most people arnt like "omg" cause I bet a large amount of the girls have thongs too. And the cashiers dont act mean or imbarassing about it either. If you really dont want your parents to see them, just wash them yourself with a big amount of other clothes and just ask your mom to show you how to work the washer so you'll know how too.
if u dont mind me asking how come u were banned?
Ummm no i dont mind. I was banned because I said I was 12, and you have to be 13 to have a column though it was like a typo. Then cause I commented kind of another column and your not suppost to.
I know this sounds really weird, but my makeup smells really bad! Its powder. Ive had it sine maybe November. But, it smells like eggs..whats wrong?!
Ick, one of my coverups smells bad too. I think its really old? Maybe its just the aging that kind ofmake it smell like that. I'd say buy a new one if you hate the smell, or when you put it on, try puting on a lotion for your face that doesn't smell bad (note: not all lotions/creams are for your face so watch out). Or just spray some purfume over yourself to try and cover up the egg sent.
i want to learn how to do a split (the horizontal way) but i dont take gymnastics and i dont want to, i only play soccer. i dont really stretch a lot so i'm not flexible at all! i cant even touch my toes (haha)
so could you tell me how to do a split and how long it takes and if it hurts??? thank youu.
You have to keep just stretching everyday. My mom was a ballerina and she said thats what you do to get the splits. Just stretch for them everyday. Go into the split position and stretch as far down as you can go (without wanting to cry haha or feeling like your legs are going to pop out) then hold it for a few seconds. Stretch out other ways too, like touching your toes, doing the splits the other way, sitting in a V with your legs apart, etc. If your not flexiable it will take longer then someone who is. It should hurt at first some because your muscles arnt used to being stretched there as much, but after you keep doing it alot your muscles should be familar with it. Hope this helped
