Im 15/f I always feel like I cant breathe deeply enough. I feel like every 5 minutes I am sitting there trying to yawn but I can never get myself to yawn deeply enough and it takes me like 5-10 mins just go get one yawn out. And I probably look pretty stupid too like sitting there in class yawning all the time. I know i dont get enough sleep, but even on the weekends when i get like 11 hours i still have trouble breathing deeply/yawning. It might be stress related too..but i think ive had this problem since i was little. Is this normal? ANy ideas on how to help? thx
if someone in your family or your friends, or you... smokes cigarrettes, cigars, or marijuana... that can be a big problem that is causing this. Sleep at least 7 hours... try yoga!!! It can help relieve stress and help you breathe better. If that doesn't help it... ask your parents to schedule a doctors appointment because it could be mild asthma.

Well I need some advice on eating more healthy and reguarly. I'm only 14 but my mother isn't home at night (she works the night shift and McDonalds) and I am in charge of feeding myself. I will be honest I am a good cook to a point though I could still use guidance every now and then. I have the habit of not knowing what to cook so I will end up just eating watered down cream of chicken and egg noodles which I know is not good for me all the time. I like Salmon really well and eat in quite often but that gets tiring. Lately food has taken over my life. I'm always secretly wondering if I should have eaten that, what will I eat for dinner, I don't have anything in the house I need to go out and get something, and I really hate that. I'm not fat I'm normal for my height and I want to just learn to eat at certain times and just have healthy snacks inbetween instead of cookies for my snacks.
If any of you on here can think of some good well balanced meals please answer. Thanks in advance.
i don't really know any well balanced meals but...
here are some filling things that could make you eat less:
apples/fruits, large yogurts/smoothies, hot cocoa/chocolate or tea.
don't drink soda... ask your mom to buy you a cook-book with low fat cooking recipes... there are also plenty of websites with ideas to help.
if you're one of those people who eats when they are bored or "Just feel like it"... eat crackers, veggies - especially celery, cheese sticks, small yogurts, small fruits - especially grapes, beef jerky - not really good for you.
a well balanced dinner meal generally includes: cooked meat, pasta/bread/rice/grain, vegtable/fruit/ tomatoe/potato, beans/nuts/cheese, a side dish such as salad - garlic bread - french bread - corn bread, and a good healthy drink such as milk or water.
good lunch: sandwich, salad, soup, veggies and meat, oh and *cafeteria food* is not good for you.
good breakfast: grape juice/orange juice, fruits, yogurts, toast, oatmeal, bagels, muffins, crackers
NOT: donuts, croissants, sugary cereals, pop tarts, bacon...

okay i have this friend who ive only known for like a year and weve only been good friends for like a couple months but anyways he is going out with my bestfriend ..and i mean i hate when people my age (14) say i love you if you can tell they dont mean it but i KNOW they do and i hangout with them like everyday and i have so much fun with them they are the two people i can honestly say i trust i love them both to death they are my bestfriends... but this kid got charged for raping these two girls..but he didnt do anything like that he would never do that...they are just stupid and try to start shit and thats not something to joke around with and so he was locked up for 2 months until he went to court...and his gf's (my bff) mom found out she said she wanted her to have NOTHING to do with him..he got out and we were over there everyday and she had been lying to her mom but then we got cought the other day and her mom was bullshit and told my mom the whole story and now we cant see him because neither of them want us going over there...my mom says i can talk on the phone with him and stuff and maybe go over in a little while when he gets off house arrest but i feel so bad he is my bestfriend and she loves him and he is the only one she has besides like me and a few others.... please helpp
just wait till he gets off house arrest. Call him and her every day... three way call sometimes, write him letters, sneak out at night to visit him, email and IM him, tell them both how you feel... and keep hanging out with him when he's off house arrest. Just comfort your friend daily and say it sucks she can't hang out with her boyfriend. In the mean time, don't talk to your parents... they deserve disrespect if they can't respect your friend and your rights to hang out with who you want. :) Good luck with all that! :)

There's this friend I have and her name is Kellen. She's really sweet, quiet, a good friend, and she's 15. And she has this boyfriend who is 18 and his name is Nick. He's fun, loud, and likes to mess around with everybody while Kellen is usually the girl in the back (I mean the girl who doesn't say anything unless she definetley has to answer). And last Sunday, Kellen, Nick, and I were hanging out at the mall. Kellen went to get ice cream for all of us and I stayed with Nick at the table. And Nick said "Well, you're getting more and more beautiful day by day. One of these days you'll be mine." I didn't say anything because I was embarrassed (and because I'm only 14). And Kellen came back and I pretended nothing happened because I also felt bad for Kellen. What should I do? Should I tell Kellen? Or should I leave it alone?
Definitely tell her. She's your friend and she trusts you. And her boyfriend, well just take it from my 18-year old guy friend "You cant trust an 18 year old boy, all they think about is sex and getting as many girls as possible." So he could be a player... or he could have just been complimenting you. So don't worry your friend, just tell her... but you should probably confront him first.

k . well i'm 14 and i weigh about 145lbs .. well it hink that's a lot but no1 believes i way that b.c i mean i'm not skinny but i don't look almost 150lbs .. well i play soccer, bball, tennis/track and so i have muscle especially w. soccer - but i feel fat and i was wondering if i run like for 20mins on my tredmill 3times a week .. if i'll start loosing weight er at lest tone up - i'm very self-concious and i wanna get down to like 120lbs ..please help - i'll rate =)
x0
Oh don't worry at all. Muscle weighs quite a bit more than fat. And 145 pounds is average weight for a fourteen year old that doesn't have muscle. So your doing good... if you think you have more "fat" around your middle, do crunches and sit ups, but ya... running can be very helpful and help you out with soccer too. the best weigh to lose weight is just to cut calories/carbs, cut sweets/sodas/junk food, eat 5 small! meals a day, and eat nutritious foods - plus an hour of vigorous work-out. So maybe go to a gym? Oh and if you want ... you could ask your mom to help you out... like tell her you want to tone up and she could like get you yoga, kickboxing, karate, pilates, tai-chi, work-out, or other classes to slim you down and tone you up. Good luck! :)

Ok, at the beginning of the school year in a new city, and at a new school, (I just moved here) the first day of school, theres this guy that asked me out when I never even talked to him once, not knowing him at all. Let's call him Bob. Bob has liked me from the first day of school till today. He's had many other crushes and girlfriends other than me but still likes me and flirts with me. As I got to know him, I started to like him. He isn't that hott, but has a great personality. He's the player type and if I went out with him I wouldn't be able to trust him. I really like him but I don't want to go out with him. I don't know why.. He's got a girlfriend right now and people say I shouldn't go out with him because he is a total man whore. At school he ignores me but glances at me whenever we pass in the hall. Do you have any advice? I'd be greatly appreciated!
[]Confused[]
P.S. I'm 13 and in grade 8 if that helps.
ya hun... I recongnize that type. He's what I'll call a "user and abuser". He'll be a jerk to you around his friends, he'll ignore you in public, but then when you guys are alone he'll flirt with you and stuff... But he's the kind who would cheat, tell his friends about private things behind your back, use you, and basically abuse you. so despite his good personality, he doesn't have looks to make up for his being a player... you probably shouldn't be more than friends with him. :)

hey this guy in school he is a guy who likes heavy metal! well anyway he let me listen 2 some of his favorite stuff! and seemed so excited me all his fave songs!! He told me that 2 need 2 have black stuff 2 actually hear this music! i had a shirt under my shirt and i lifted it up and said i'm afraid i don't!! he lifted up his white shirt and his abs wre right there!! ppl keep sayin' we're flirting but he denies it! and i find out that someone talked 2 him about it and that he knows i like him ... what do i do? is he flirting with me or not? i'll rate! :)
Goths/punks and rockers are complicated. You can't know for sure unless they tell you to your face. I would know... before I started "dressing in black" lol, I had a friend like that and I ended up finding out he had a girlfriend. So all I can say is... become good friends with him and flirt like crazy with him and invite him to hang out... then ask him if he likes you, and before he responds - tell him you like him. Good luck with that! :)

im a 13 year old female. I went out with this boy "Sam" for about 2 months, which i know isnt very long, but i have also been freinds with him for over a year now. he is really a great guy. and he really liked me but i ended b/c it was just to weird. im not prude or a jesus loving "goody goody" but i wouldnt make out let alone kiss him along those 2 months.(in fact i am eagerly waiting to get my first kiss) but anyway, now he has another girlfreind and well...she is the kind of girl that has already lost her virginity, comes to school stoned...just not exactly a model citazen. and i know this girl too and she is SOOO SWEET, but im just really worried that this girl may change "sam" and he may start making horribly wrong choices. supposedly, they have already made out and have been going together for 2 days. i just dont want to lose him to the wrong people. can anyone give me any advice on this situation?
well first off... where the heck do you live... you are in junior high or high ... what do you expect? People who aren't sluts go up to random hot people and make out with them... if they're going out, what do you think they'll do? And people who do marijuana are usually really cool people. If it's his decision to do those "bad" things... he'll do them and nobody can stop him. But if you really care, talk to him. Just dont tell him that your "worried that he's hanging out with the wrong people" that pisses people off and often leads them to start doing those things. ehh good luck in keeping your ex as he is. Just remember though, people often change, and sometimes change is good - so don't stress too much.

there is this guy at my school who is the same age as me. sadly he is in a diffrent homeroom. he first found out that i liked him when my young yet stupid teacher went and told him that i thought he was hot. my teacher found out that i thought this guy was hot when we were talking about how he is such a good basketrball player, anywho...... out of nowhere i was like yeah that kid is hot and my teacher old him and he said that bret said he was flattered. now i do;nt know if he likes me or what. at gym when ever my volleyball misteriously rolls over to him he just lets it roll right on by. today (11/17) he picked it up and he gave it to me. other days if he knows it is mine he will kick it or pick it up and drop it. i dont know if he is shy or what. this other girl likes him to but i dont think he knows. i know that i am in jr high and things arent the same as 4th or 5th grade like when you tell a boy that u like them and they start to like you but maybe it still is. i really think he is cute but i dont know much about him but i just want to get to know him without comeing off as one of those creepy stalker types. i dont know how to get his attention because i am very shy around cute guys and in his case is is dead sexi! how do i get to know him or atleaset make a conversation even how to make him say hi! just for info.... i am not going to go all girly and try to impress him with my clothes that is so 6th grade and it doesnt work i want him to like me for something more than my looks but i still want him to like me for my looks! love always,
Boy trouble
say hey to him, ask him how he is, then start up a conversation involving him or something he's interested in. Ask him if he wants to hang out sometime. Say you think he's hot, but you'd really like to get to know him based on who he is, not what he looks like. Smile at him... wave, flirt. Small talk. make a joke...
good luck! :) just try to be confident, not "pushy" or trying too hard, don't act slutty, don't babble on... and you should be fine. :)

ok umm... my boyfrend broke up with me monday because he said he didnt want to get sick of me and neva talk to me again if we broke up later in the year..... so now we're ova but i still hav a crush on him! n hes already movin on to other girls (he likes this girl but she doesnt want to go out with him) how do i get ova this n b like my old self... not miserable?!?!?! i really need help. o ya he still flirts with me n stuff u can tell he still likes me too cuz he calls me everyday n stuff so wat should i do?
wow... um just be friends with him for about two weeks... flirt with him majorly and drive him crazy(in a good way)... then he'll realize what he's missing out on. or you could just talk to him, tell him how you feel, tell him that you won't break up with him later in the year cause you like him too much, and flirt and ask him out again. or you could put it in your mind that the reason he broke up with you is so he could flirt with that girl he likes and then hate him. But i suggest the first one. :) while your doing that you could alway look out for other guys... go the mall, the movies, etc... and look for cute guys to hook up with. ehh good luck with that.

(13 yr old girl)ok so me and my friend (lets call her Ashley) were best friends. But they i started middle school and we had this big fight over nothing! And a new friend i met in middle school, lets call her Mary, would tell me what Ashley said about me and Mary would tell Ashley what i said about her... and this caused us to fight even more!! She just got in the middle constantly and like now we dont talk anymore.. question : should i be friends with Mary even though she split me and my BFF apart ..
p.s- Mary is friends with ashley .. and mary is friends with me now .. (but idk if thats a big mistake)
it sounds like Mary probably didn't mean to split you two apart, I've been the new girl before and I know what it's like to "come between fighting friends"... it also kinda seems like your friend Ashley wasn't really trying too hard to salvage your friendship, so I wouldn't worry too much about her. I think you should stil be friends with Mary, but let her know that you don't appreciate her telling your "rival in a conflict" whatever you say about whoever that may be - in this case, tellin Ashley what you said about her. If she doesn't understand that... well i'm sorry. ehhh good luck with all that.

my little sister has a habbit of thinking that our cousins are cute. the ones that we dont get to see that often. she likes our cousin J.R and our cousin Michael. I can't figure out how to get her to stop. I have told her that they are our cousins and its nasty. But she won't listen. She has even told me that she wants to kiss J.R. I mean yea hes a good looking kid (i dont like him...ew!) but hes our cousin so thats just nasty. I have tried explaining the whole cousin thing and she still doesn't understand. Please help.
hmm... give her the definition of incest... tell her what the consequences are. Like being made of fun of, shunned, looked down upon... tell her it's morally wrong. or at least i think it is... and hmmm... make up bad stuff about him... like he has a girlfriend and he's in love with his gf... or something! Just whatever you do, don't tell your cousin or your aunt... or else when she is old enough to understand how gross it is, they will still think badly of her. Maybe get your mom to help! :) Good luck... sorry about this whole uhh... issue.

Christmas! Omg... Its just around the corner. Its coming faster, then light. I have this boifriend. I LOVE HIM TOO DEATH!!! But i mean this is our first Christmas together. What should i get him for christmas? I need help. I Love him sooo much. I want it to be something special. Truly special. Please help!! ME!! Ill rate you VERY HIGH 5 Whole BIG POINTS! Avice Columnists help me!! Im just lost!!! ASAP! Quick help me... I have only a week to get his present cause im busy with other stuff til x-mas!! Thankss!!!! soo much...
Okay... you probably should add your and his age and his interests. but... clothes/accessories, CDS, his favorite movie/dvd, or you could take him somewhere... like go to a water park or skating rink and the movies and dinner. Or... just base it on what he likes. If he likes eating, add a meal that you made yourself - if he likes Manga/Anime get him some book/movie that he's had his eye on. Or get him an Halo 2. or... just Do something special with lots of time, energy, thought, and heart put into it... no matter what it is if you put all that into it and he really loves you, then he'll love what you give him.

im 13 years old. theres this guy that i REALLY like! we kiss in the mornin but its just a little peck. hes goin around telling everybody that we make out and crap. and i really wanna make out with him. im just scared hes gonna say we did somethin else you know...should i talk to him about it?
Make out with him... no harm done... but after you do confront him about the whole matter. Relationships thrive on three things - honesty/conversation, loyalty/trust, and making out. lol so if he gets angry about you thinking he'll say you did something else, at least you made out with him before you broke up. And that way... if you did break up, at least you know he wasn't worth it if he and you can't survive such a silly confrontation. :) well good luck, hope he doesn't say your doing something else, hope you don't break up... and hope you make out. lol... :)

Can anyone help. I am currently working for a firm which due to expansion is doing a re-structure within the office. All of us have been told that they will try and get similar jobs for us to take but there might be redundancy. I have been offered a job which pays £10 less then i am on and have taken away the company car. I started with the compnay when there was 13 people and now there is over 200. Can they do this to me as i feel totally let down by the company.
Companys can, and often do. In the US you could probably get away with sue-ing them (as stupid Americans are often sue-ing for pointless reasons) but I don't know if it's really worth it to do that... it is quite unfair and that's how the business world works, eh? Sorry , all I can say is you could pray about it... if you believe in God. Or you could search the classifieds or move to a different area with a stable, good-paying job that won't let you down. Good luck with whatever decision you make! :) *my mom's a paralegal by the way and I know how hard stuff like this can be*

OK theres this one boy that i have a HUGE crush on and he only likes my 1 best friend bc shes popular.. and shes pretty well everytime i go to my locker, hes always standing by her, it makes me feel like im not good enough or something but her locker is like 6 lockers away but hes always just standing around her..like all the other boys do and stuff and hes asked her out and hes asked out my best friend, why hasnt he asked out me? What am i doing wrong.. i mean i think im pretty.. but i guess thats not good enough for him=[ Plz help me=/
Maybe you just need a little self confidence. Walk up to him, talk to him about things he is interested in... make a few jokes, flirt a little... :) Tell your friends that you like him so that they won't flirt with him. And if you think he might like you... ask your friends to find out what he thinks of you. Good luck with that guy! :)

Hi,
i have just bought my daughter a guitar for her 8th birthday. I never had a chance as a kid so dont want my kids to miss out,. the only problem is that i dont know anything with regards to tuition on guitar so wondered if any1 knows best course of action for my daughter to learn.
If anyone has any advice that would be great
as a teen trying to learn electic, i can honestly say... don't get her a book or a video. It is too hard for me and I already play other instruments. Lessons at a local place are the best. They usually cost between 40 and 65 dollars a month. good luck with that! :)
