Q: On my sides are these marks, to be more specific my hips. I'm not sure if this is some sort of part of puberty I didn't learn about or something but it's starting to worry me. By the way I'm not fat, I play sports and I run and everything and I'm a vegetarian.. so I'm pretty skinny. I think maybe my hips are just widening or something, I dont' know, but can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?

could be stretch marks if youve grown a lot lately

hope i helped-

Q: I have real sweaty hands...does anyone know anything i can do to prevent, or block this? It is so bad i cant even write without having my pen slip or having my paper become wet. Please Help.

i think there's like a special lotion that works like deoderant but for your hands. if thats not enough, it may seem like your going overboard but you can get surgery that stops your hands from oversweating.

good luck-

Q: I'm getting a physical soon and I want to know what they do. Because last time I got one (about 2 years ago) the doctor made me take my clothes off. Are all physicals like that or do they just check your eyes, hearing, breathing, stuff like that? I rate 5's

usually they will make you wear a gown w/ an open back but you can keep on ur underwear and any other under clothing. then theyll check all that other stuff and ur stomach and private areas

hope i helped-

Q: I am a 11 year old female and my boyfriend is a 15 year old male. I want to have sex. Should I?

no you shouldnt- hes a lot older than you now but in 10 years the age difference wont be bad, but wait a couple more years at least until you feel more comfortable

if your asking for advice on this.. its probably not a good idea

good luck-

Q: 13/f

i feel kind of weird asking this but here is my problem/question:
i have to go to the doctors in a few days because i am going to another country and i need a physical before i leave. i will be swimming a lot were i am going and i want to shave my bikini area....first i want to know does your doctor say anything about shaving that area? and second i got bought nair and it says trim the hair before you use it. do i have to trim it with anything special?

please dont waste your time writing rude responses but if you really do help, then thanks!

nah the doctors shouldn't really ask you about your pubic hair for a physical but they will look at that area for any problems

if you trim them with regular scissors then please wash them before and after or you can buy special little ones like for trimming nose hair

good luck-

Q: yeah i went to our softball/baseball fields for the WHOLE day today and i have the worst fricken sunburn on my most sensitive shoulder right now and I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! it hurts WICKED bad! is there anything else to put on it besides aloe or burn cream because that isnt doin much right now! ANSWER ASAP! thx!

cover the burnt areas with a good unscented lotion then sprinkle baby powder over it (it should create a lil bit of a messy paste) but it really works and its very soothing for the irritated skin

hope i helped & good luck-

Q: what are herpes ?

Q:

everyone at my school says cheerleading is a sport and some say it isn't a sport..don't answer this question if you are going to write something mean or stupid. so is cheerleading a sport? and if no why is it on espn?

An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
^^that's the definition of a sport and cheerleading definitely follows all of those restrictions ((especially competitive cheer))

CHEERLEADING IS A SPORT!! no matter what they say! lol :)

p.s. i really really like him!

wow that sucks- it sounds like he's a jerk because he's leading you both on and it seems like he wants the best of both of you. since he's telling both of you guys the same thing then it doesn't sound like he deserves either one of you *find somebody who truely likes you and appreciates you* :)

good luck-

Q: Me and one of my guy friends Tom, like eachother. I dont want to ask him out but I want to go out with him. We have kissed a few times but never frenched. How acn I get him to ask me out? 16/f

just be like hey 'we like each other right?' and he should be like 'yeah' and be like 'when are you gonna ask me out? i really wanna go out with you.'

hope i helped & good luck-

Q: i have a problem. for awhile my vagina has been very itchy. and i'm only 13. what is it?

if the itchiness is followed by foul smelling discharge that is yellowy in color and redness in those areas.. then you could have a yeast infection. but its not that big of a deal and a gyny or a doctor can give you good medicine

if its just itchy- then try changing your underwear more often and only wear the 100% cotton ones for awhile

good luck-

Q: My guy friend (who I kind of like) & I are going to see Star Wars. I'm thinking this'll be the night when I admit to having feelings for him. Is this a good movie for that? It sounds crazy but is there anything I can do during the movie to hint I like him? Are there any romantic scenes in the movie that might turn him on or get his mind on relationships?

theres always the armrest move where you can grab his hand or play footsie or just lean in really close to the side hes on.. star wars meh its not really that great for your situation but just give him a lot of hints and you never know..

good luck-

Q: ok im 13 years old and i havn't madeout. everyone else my age has. and because i havnt they call me prude. i really want to and one of my best guy friends wants to with me and he has madeout before. im afraid to though because i dont know how. and lastnight there was a guy 2 years older then me that wanted to but i said no because i was afraid. should i makeout with my guy friend and have him figure out i havnt before or do you think im gonna be to afraid to? PLEASE HELP! i have school on monday.*i rate 5's*

if your that nervous, dont do it! you shouldn't feel like you have to do anything you dont want to! do you really like your guy friend? does he like you? if both of those are true.. than sure ya'll can be intimate but don't do anything you dont feel COMFORTABLE doing.. don't worry you'll have plenty of time for all that kind of stuff in your life time

Q: I have some minor acne on my face, its so really bad, but its on the back of my shoulders too. & its really irritating, I use that Clean & Clear stuff, but that dosen't seem to work to weel, & I had this percriptioned stuff that worked very well, but it ran out, & so I'm going back to the dermatologist soon. But what are the ways I can clear it up as fast as I can?

Thanks

14/M

hey just know that everyone gets pimples! and people arent gonna judge you based on that :)

also always plan ahead to make sure that your perscription will be there for you so get yourself to the derm. when you know your gonna run out.

get products with salisylic acid to clear it up pretty fast

good luck with that-

*ben stiller even had acne :)

Q: ok, I'm about 5'2 & weaigh 115. & I'm 14/M

well, I want to have abs, just like a 6 pack, & my stomach be flat (I'm strested & thats where it goes). & I wanted to know a diet & a work-out routine that would work.

Thanks So Much!

for the diet- go for a high fiber, low carb diet. don't completely cut carbs because thats not good for your body.. as you probably know, stay away from fatty food like candy, sweets, and sodas bad for your body too

for the workout- do 15 COMPLETE sit-ups where you come all the way up every morning and every night. just make it a part of your routine..once youve got that easy, bump it up to 20, then 25, etc

the working out will also help you feel more relaxed and help w/ ur stress levels

good luck-

Q: Ok i have this friend whos a guy his name is Josh and i think he likes me i mean he flirts with me and always complments my outfits and the other day i didnt feel good and i wore sweat pants and a baggy t-shirt and he said i looked great and he alwayz sitz next to me in math it not bothering me but now i feel weird when im around him and hes not going to my high school next year hes not moving but i think i like him but what i want to know if he likes me thnx

well from what you've said it definitely sounds like he has feelings for you. it's cool that a guy think your pretty no matter what you wear..if he doesnt express himself for liking you then you should go for it if you feel comfortable and he's giving you signs
*follow your heart* :)
good luck-

Q: I am a 14 year old girl, and i started to like this guy named Kyle. but he says he likes me sometimes and other times he says he likes this other girl. and then this guy i used to like Eric all of a sudden likes me. and then chris like is so sweet. and he talks to me all the time but he isnt as cute as the others. im stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. i dont know which to go after if u know what i mean.

Well it sounds like you definitely have a lot of options!! just think about each guy individually and think which guy you could actually see yourself with. all i can say really is to follow your heart, don't just settle for the one who likes you.. go for the one that YOU like and want to be with
good luck-
