OKAY will people plllleaase stop asking weight loss questions? i mean if god wanted you to be skinny youd be skinny right? and i hate to see/hear people saying they are anorexic or belimuc ( spelling ? ) because you dont need to diet if you can get out of a chair and breathe! ^ NOT TO BE RUDE :) HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I definitely agree with you on this!! :)

Ok this is a bit...um embarassing for me to ask.. alright I'm 124 lbs and I'm trying to lose um anywhere from 5-10 pounds..my concern is that if I shave off a few pounds will my chest get smaller? ok I'm not like obsessed with my self or how big my chest is but the weight that u gain has to go somewhere and it just happens to go to ur chest so does that mean when u lose weight u'll lose ur chest size too? sry...thanks so much!

Nope, your chest won't get smaller when you lose some weight. It does happen to some people but it depends on how much you weigh and how much you lose. Don't worry, your chest won't get smaller!! Hope I helped and good luck :)

ok well i got my first period almost 2 years ago and i had it some what regular for the first 6 monthes or so, but ive only had it twice in the past year and a half. what should i do?

Hey, don't worry, your period is going to be irregular for the first couple of years. It'll change eventually!! But if I were you, I would go see a doctor to see if everything is all right with you. Hope I helped :)

If you've never gotten your period and you have sex, then you can't get pregnant, am I correct?

Oh, and I'm not that young, so don't be like if you haven't gotten your period, then your not old enough, lets just say I'm in High school

Yep, you're correct!! You are lucky that you haven't gotten your period yet!! Hope I helped :)

my bestfriend wants to go out with my x-boyfriend when i asked her not 2 hang out with him in the first place because i don't like it. i pretend to be ok with it but thats only to avoid a fight. should i be ok with it and move on or am i being over reactive?

Yup, it's all right to be a little bit mad at your bestfriend since she's going out with your ex-boyfriend. You might still have feelings for your ex and it's probably hard for you to see another person, including your bestfriend, going out with him, right? Just talk to your friend about this and tell her that she lied to you and went out with your ex when you told her not to. Hope I helped and good luck sweetie :)

I prefer the blue, but mainly because blue and green are my faves!!

But it's kind of hard to read, or maybe thats just from medicine I took earlier, kinda made me drowsy, and to think it's so EARLY... well whatever, I like the blue, and it's different from xxalyssaxx.

By the way, this is SoUtHeRn_ChIcKeTy!!

haha thanks!! I just wanted to change the color so xxalyssaxx wouldn't copy me lol!!

hey i have this problem.. there is this guy in my grade who used to like me but i always thought he was kind of a dork so i didn't talk to him that much and when i did i would just kind of joke around with him. anyway i figured out that i have really liked him all this time and what made me figure it out was that i found out that he is moving to Hong Kong in January! If i tell him that i like him now then im worried that he might not still like me and he might tell everyone that i like him. i was thinking that maybe i would tell him on his last day but then we'd never have a relationship...please help me because i need to know what to do!
~Jen

You have to tell him sooner or later because you are going to regret it when you tell him before he leaves. You never know, he might like you! Anyways, he's not gonna tell everyone because why would anyone tell everyone that someone likes them? Hun, just go for it and tell him how you feel!! Hope I helped and good luck with everything sweetie :)

my mom is really mean. she always calls me names. like just now i asked her where to put the dinner that jsut got here in the fridge or oven and she was liek the microwave you idiot! ugh i hate that! and i tell her i was gunna clean my room out and i did but she keep ssayin it iant done yet! and alwas says im always ont he comp and always says mean stuff bout me to ehr friends n my older sister and i really dont like it and i can tsay nethign to her bc then she will snapp mor ei used to be able to tell her nething now shes always bitchy:( plz help me i really rally really dont no what to do . now shes off the fone and is gunan snapp. she says that the reason we got fast food is bc I WANTED IT! so its MY fault she spent $15 on fast food. it was for the hole family! now she says get the fuck off my computer and go in your pig sti ass room. and she cried wtf! i hate this stuff! plz help!

My mom was the same exact way as your mom but now she is getting better as in she is not calling me names. Your mom will eventually slow down when she sees you mature. You just have to ignore it and it'll eventually stop. My mom doesn't call me that many names anymore because I did the following things: I behaved like I didn't talk to her or anyone else in my family, I got good grades and showed her my report card, I helped around the house, and I was just nice to her and listened to what she told me to do. If I were you, I would make a few copies of one note and put them all around the house where she will see and find them. In the notes explain to her about how it hurts you when she calls you names. Just let everything out. I hope I helped and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask them and I'll answer them!! Good luck sweetie :)

i really like this guy. hes really cute and hes SOOO funny. but people r always calling him fat. hes NOT fat at all so its really weird. hes really cute and his personality rocks. i dont want ppl saying shit about him tho. what should i do?

Stick up for him when you hear people talk about him!! He will then notice you and see that you are a really nice person and then he might become friends with you!! Hope I helped :)

I have pretty dark arm hair, and my arms are kinda hairy. How can I make it look a lot less obvious(without completely shaving it off). help! thanks! i rate!

Hey, I know how you feel, my arm hairs are dark and long. DO NOT shave or wax your arm hairs because they will grow back darker and thicker. I use Sun In and it makes my arm hairs lighter and less visible. Even though Sun In is supposed to be used for your head hair, it works on arm hairs! Hope I helped :)

okay well i usually get my period around every 21 days.

i was supposed to get it like 5 days ago but it never came

i know its normal for periods to be irregular at this age but i've had my period for 4 YEARS now.

so why did it skip? what are some possible reasons? help im scared!

and im not pregnant because i never had sex before.

Hey, don't worry, it's normal for your period to be irregular like this! It's probably caused by stress and not eating right. It'll change eventually! Hope I helped :)

I've known this guy for like 3 years, and liked him on and off for a while. I like him, and just found out he's going to ask me out. What should I do?

When he asks you out, go for it and say "Yes!" Good luck sweetie :)

I have dark arm hair and I am teased about it often so I started shaving it about a year ago. But it takes too long and I have to every day and stuff and sometimes it feels weird when people touch my arms. So is there anything I can use to bleach my arm hair blonde? if you know anything around the house I can use that would be even better. Thx so much! I'll rate ya. Answer asap plz! (I'm a female)

Hey, I know how you feel, trust me. I have long dark arm hair so I use Sun In. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, isn't Sun In for your hair on your head? Well, Sun In makes your hair lighter and not visible. I used to shave and wax but the hair grew back dark and thicker. So if I were you, I would try Sun In. Hope I helped :)

hey i need ur help theres this girl shes so gorgeous and i really like her alot but the problem is we just met and i fallen for her and she told me she felt the same way but when i asked her out she said no is that a sign of she doesnt like me or maybe were moving too fast?!?!

The reason why she said no is probably she doesn't have trust in you and that she doesn't know you that well. Just keep on talking to her and get to know her better and in no time, you two will be going out! Hope I helped and good luck :)

thanx alot

Try finding a way to talk to him like: bump into him while you are walking down the halls, IM him online and as who he is even though you know him and get to know him while you are talking, say "Hi" to him when you see him, and etc. Hope I helped :)

i need ur help really bad me n my boyfriend got in this huge argument cuz i found out his ex gf has a crush on him still and he sorta still likes her and omg i hate her guts soooooooo bad but i dont want to get between them cuz i kno that was his first love but now he just says there friends but they always say i love u to each other and shit

Ok, if I was in your position, I would sit down and have a big talk with your boyfriend. Explain to him that it hurts you how he still says "I love you" to his ex-girlfriend. He shouldn't even be doing that to you anyways. Just explain everything to him and he'll understand. If he doesn't, then just forget about him and move on lol. That's what I would do! Hope I helped and good luck :)
