I am very good at giving advice. I've been an "A" student since my first day at school in kindergarten. I am Student Body President of my school. Currently single, but TONS of guy friends. I love the color green, and last year I lost like 30 pounds. I am very good at health questions.

im dating a jerk, but ive known another guy in my school for about forever now, and i think i am starting to like him. i told him last night that i think i rlly do like him. because we always joke around about liking each other. things arent weird today in school.. but im still clueless on if i should follow through. lets call him jay he is a senior at my school, he is friendly, cute, jokester, amazingly funny, and the sweetest guy you could ever meet. But the catch is.. him and my best friend Bree were together a while ago they werent dating but they kissed and stuff. i dont think she would be mad at me yet im not so sure.. any advice would be lovellyyy (link)
First of all; why are you dating a guy who is a jerk? Dump him! You can do better. Now, about this 'Jay' guy... Does he like you back? You said he jokes about it, you never ssaid he did. But if he does and you obviously do, then talk to Bree. Find out if she is totally over Jay. Besides, they weren't dating. Just check to see if she is okay with it and if so, follow through.


almost every person i see riding a bicycle has their left pant/jeans/sweatpant (as opposed to pants since i am talking about one side... lol) rolled up.... why is that? (link)
This answer is simple if you think about it. Tou noticed people with long pants rolling up their pants while riding their bikes. This is becauseTheir pant leg can get stuck in the chain on the bicycle next to the pedal. This can cause you to crash and possibly hurt yourself. Also, when you exercise, youy body heats up. I can imagine that they get hot so they roll up their pant leg!


15/m. ok, this is going to sound really stupid, but people always think im gay. I had this one guy ask me, "ur a puff innit? u like it up the batty?" i was all "wtf!?" he was all, "well you look gay, you talk like a girl".
1. i have a deep voice
2. how could i possibly look gay? i have facial hair..quite a bit of it. so long story short, people think im gay. what could be giving them this idea, and how can i change my appearance/ speech so i dont "sound gay" even though i dont in the first place? cheers (link)
First of all, people suck. :/ They shouldn't say anything like that to you!!!

I am not really sure what you look like though...Do you wear skinny jeans? If so, that could be why people are saying that to you. Do you have a lot of friends who are girls? That could be too. Are you emo? People judge others by their style, race, religion, friends, and everything else!!!

If you said no to everything I said earlier, than he is just a jerk who wants to get on your nerves. People do that to my really close guy friend. His name is Abraham, and they call him Gaybraham. HOW MEAN IS THAT?!?! Just remember to stay true to yourself and ther's nothing wrong about you!!!

whenever i walk my legs are always touching..

how do i get rid of that fat over there? (link)
Simple! Running can help!!!

Try running at different speeds- jog for three minutes, then run for 1 minute, then go back to jogging. Keep doing this like 6 times.

Do it once a day for a month.

Look up leg lifts for more info.

Also, swim A LOT this summer. It will hope tone your legs and thighs.


Hi im 17/f and i want to get rid of the cellulite in my butt and my thighs. I dont even want to wear a bikini because its so bad i think. Like when i sit down you can see it. Im not fat though im 5'6 and i weigh about 150 pounds. People say i hide it well cuz i dont look like i weigh that much. Is there any great work outs that i could do at home to get rid of it? Does running help? And how long is it going to take to get rid of it? Another question is i have stretch marks on my thighs and is there any way to get rid of those or reduce the visibility? Thanks so much for your help! (link)
First off, if you have stretch marks, they are probably part of your family's genes and you can't get rid of them. You can give it a shot though- by exercising.

I used to have that problem too. Running does help. Use a treadmill for this exercise:
-Warm up at 1 mph for 2 minutes
-Start your walking pace at 3.5 mph for 3 minutes
-Move up to 7 mph for 1-2 minutes
-Go back to your walking pace at 3.5 mph for 3 minutes
-keep doing this for 4-6 cycles. You may change the mph's if necessary.
-end with a cool down. 1 mph for 2 minutes.
***It should take about a month to get really good results, possibly less***

Also, swimming is really good for your thighs and butt. Since it is Summer, try swimming laps in the pool. Or jog in the pool.


Please tell me some ab workouts other than crunches/situps that work mad fast and i dont need equipment for!! =] (link)
My stomach is uber tight and I doing standing stomach cruches. However, I also reccomend leg lifts. They are simple:

1.) Lay down on the floor your back on floor.
2.)Pull your feet together
3.)Lift both of your feet up with them still together. (You may lay your arms on the floor for support)
4.)Slowly bring legs down.

Do about 150-300 each morning and then the same amount that night.

Try it, it works!!


When writing a song, do you think of the words first or the tune first? And I mean, how do you make the tune. I dont even know how to start without copying someone else. (link)
This depends on you. I am in choir, and we had to write a song for our final exam. I started with the melody. Use C-M (C Major) To start off writing a simple song.

Also- A lot of songs start off as poems, write a poem and try to come up with a melody.

PS-copying off other people's work is illegal. Just a heads up!!! ;)


i have been studying all week because i have a week of exams (starting tomorro) and i wanted to know some study tips like i know

-not to study when your tired cos your less lilely to remember and take the information in

-if your getting distracted or sidetract when your studying take a break

but what else is important when your studying and what will help with your study so your more likely to remember infomation and stuff. just some general study tips i need them ASAP thanks in advance xx (link)
Study at night. - People tend to think best before they go to sleep-ever remeber something you had to do that day right before you went to sleep?

Eat breakfast- Not really a study tip, but it will help you concentrate.

Ask someone to test your knowledge- A family member is best- friends tend to be distracting.

Eat (healthy) snacks while studying- yet again, food gives you energy that will help you concentrate on your work.

Eat blueberries- Blueberries are known to help remember things.

Hope that helped. And it is all coming from a honor student!!


Well, since it's the end of my sophomore year and a lot of people are moving away to different schools and whatnot..I decided to write each best best friend a letter describing all the memories and good times/bad times we had this year. It's a really touching letter and I don't know how some of my friends will respond. Should I do it? To show how much I care?
Also..do you think it would be a bad idea to do this for an ex boyfriend that I still care about? (he cares for me too.) but I don't know if it would be the right thing to do and I definitely wouldn't know what to say. But I wanna show him that if there's a chance, we could try again next year (we broke up less than a month ago).
Thank you in advance :)) (link)
I think you should do it. If I got a letter from me, I would be so happy and thankful I even knew you!!! And if you and your ex have a chance on being with each other again, why not go for it? I am sure he would be happy and suprised to get a letter from you also!!


i really love the name laken, aiden, brayden and braylen.. out of these boys name witch do you like best.. and does anyone no diffrent spelling for these names.. most importantly laken .. people say if i change the spelling it turns into a girls name?

and any other cute baby boy names you can think of! (link)
Brayden- Braydon, Braedan, Braedon, Braydun, Bradon
Braylen- Braylynn (is this one a girl's name too?)
Aiden-Aidan, Adan, Adin, Aydan, Ayden, Aydin
Laken- Can't find any other spellings.

I like Brayden a lot. Either spell it Brayden, Braedan, or Bradon.

I also like Aiden, maybe Aydan or Aydin?

Hope that helped. If you need the origins of the names I have those too.


alright, well in like two weeks im going on a class trip to a waterpark and we're obvisouly going to wear bikinis but, well im not fat. not even chubby, but i just want my stomach toned up a little more. because most of the girls in my class are really skinny and im just nervous. because i know im not fat, but im scared people will classify me as that because im just not as "tight" as everyone else. and i know i shouldnt care what other people think, but i do. so, don't tell me that i shouldnt. :p bur ANYWAYS, i was writing to see if anyone had any exercises or diets or whatever i could do so i could tighten up my stomach and thighs a little before the trip. i was talking to my gym teacher and he said that the best way is to go for long exercise things, like running or biking, and i have been running and it's been working but, it's hard because i have knee and ankle problems and they get really sore really fast, so thats causing me pain, and im not willing to be in pain just to slim down a bit. and, just so you know. my stomachs pretty hard, but i just have that layer over the hardness that i want to get gone.
thanks. (link)
Heeeeellllo!

Ok, here is some advice for ya:
Your gym teacher was right about biking and bicycling, but walking will help also. Also, try to eat less fatty foods. Salad is good, but if you have dressing, make sure there is SOME fats in it- or you won't get any of the nutrients from the salad. Also, try not to eat too much beef. Instead of any "junky" foods, eat healthy stuff like vegetables, fruit, or even yogurt for a snack!!! Also, try leg lifts- they tone your legs and help build abs. SImply squat down a little, then lift up your leg. Repeat with the other leg. So pretty much, limit fatty foods, (Oh yeah, and limit a lot of salt), exercise, AND HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW BODY!
