I've been on a lower fat/low calorie diet for a number of months now, but it seems like since about a month ago it hasn't been working, like my body is storing everything and I can't get pounds to come off anymore, no matter how low my caloric intake is. And I exercise from 20-60+ minutes per day. (yesterday i only had 1300 HEALTHY calories and worked out more than usual, but today I woke up and i was 3 pounds heavier) :[
I've heard about Alli, the weight loss pill, and I really think that it could help me. I understand how it works and everything but I'm not sure if it's safe. Because all other weight loss pills are recalled for being harmful, after they've been out for a while.
My mom is SO against weight loss pills because she thinks they're all bad and unsafe, so how can I get this Alli without her knowing, or how can i convince her to get it? Will pharmacies sell over-the-counter pills to minors? I can't even drive.
If not alli, can you please reccomend some other weight loss pill/supplement that might help me?
ps: i know i'm just 14, but my body has finished developing and i'm as tall as i'm ever going to be. so that might be a factor?
any advice appreciated. thanks.
Take the weight loss pill or exercise. one of the other, not both. Doing both could be incredibly unhealthy for you.
I recommend just exercising because weight loss pills are unhealthy enough for you. If it's over the counter, there are ways to get it then, such as paying someone who is 18 to get it for you. But i still think you should stick to exercise, if you really do exercise 20-60 minutes a day, you should see results within a month. Exercising makes you sexy and toned, weight loss pills just makes you lose body fat and look weak.

my name is michelle 14 years old.
i'm interested a little within this boy named rick.
he is "interested" in me too, but we are good friends.
rick asked me to send him "sexy pics"
but i am not like that!
what's a good way of saying no so that he doesn't think i'm prude/mean/ or not interested in him anymore?
i just want a quick thing to say to him, nothing stupid or long.
If you send him sexy pictures, he'll find you easy and probably lose interest in you.
If you refuse and say no, he'll develop respect for you and probably like you more

why does drinking alcohol help my headaches?
Alcohol can relieve pain and make you feel happy if taken in small quantities. If you drink too much, you'll wake up the next morning and have the biggest headache you'll ever have.

My friends ALL tell me I'm emo.
I don't dress any particular way, I wear random stuff, and nobody else I know would DARE dress like me.
I am really down a lot, and I have contemplated suicide more than once[and planned it].
I really hate people saying I'm emo, because I don't mean to. How can I stop??
Unfortunately, the other side of me is that I'm "really smart" but I'm also a complete ditz. I never get whats going on around me, because I'm so caught up in what I'm thinking.
Yet, I also have weird sensory crap going on. I am really really sensitive, and I can tell right away if something's wrong with those I'm close to, even if they're not there. I get feelings telling me to call them.
Someone HELP. I am so sick of feeling alone.
Suicide is on the table again, but I'm trying not to. PLEASE HELP!
Your friends think you're emo and you put suicide on the table again. Way to let everyone else influence you. Sheep.
honestly, tell them to fuck off. who cares if you look emo, if you don't act like it, or don't think you are, then you aren't. Labels are stupid. Get over them, and stop self pitying yourself, it only makes you feel worse. Go do something that will take care of your insecurity and low self esteem, such as sports.
EDIT: There are other things that can help you get over your insecurity and low self esteem other than sports, that was just an example I listed. Ever try learning a musical instrument, joining a club, or writing? All of those things take dedication but if you are willing to dedicate, you'll find yourself a whole lot happier. Oh, and FYI, I know more about how you feel than you'll understand, and I've been through a deeper pit of despair then the one you're in right now.

what does an orange have to dow with smokin pot
You can smoke pot through an orange. You cut a hole in it, put the pot in, light it up, and suck on the orange from the other side. It's not very effective though. You're better off with an apple.

NO phsyciatrist or therepist whatever,NO.
Not seeing a therapist or a psychologist is overrated by teenage sub cultures. It signifies being uncool because you caved and sought professional help, help from the adults that we must rebel against.
I know what you're going through, I've been through it and now when I look back, I feel like I was an idiot then, although I must admit the emotion pain was excruciating, but only because I was a weak willed pussy.
I can get banned for saying this, but suicide is an option. For some people it does completely relieve pain. Take those who suffer from chronic illness. But you are 13 years old, you have no idea what life has in store for you. You have not experienced ANYTHING yet, regardless of how much pain and suffering you think you have seen and felt.
Wait a few decades, see how you turn out. By the way, everybody has problems, it's just about how you deal with them. THe problem with most suicidal teenagers is that they don't know how to deal with them. I've seen countless teens with extreme problems at home deal with their problems better than the average suicidal teen. I've seen kids who lost their fathers and mothers continue being normal functioning kids.
If your pain was really that bad, you would see a therapist, it's not as bad as you think. Some therapists were also fucked up teens who have solved their problems. Try to find a good therapist, keep on switching therapists until you find on you like.

Hey, tomorrow I'll be going to an interview for a job where I'll be helping sexually abused teenagers over the phone. The thing is, Im not sure they're aware of the fact that I'm only sixteen, but even if they are.. I need advice on how to get this job. (not actually a job, I'll be volounteering, so i won't be getting payed!) What kinda thing would they like to hear? Should I dress in any sort of way to show how strong I am as a woman? What do I do if it gets really quiet and awkward and we're all just sitting there.. ?! Do you think they'll judge me by the fact that I'm so short for my age? Thank you for anything you can tell me, I'm so nervous I'm starting to regret that I ever applied for this!
Oh and do you think they'll ask if I've ever been through sexual abuse?
Dress formally. Make eye contact and try to come off as self confident. When they ask you questions, answer in a way that makes you seem like you have a lot of charisma. Speak with confidence, have great visions, make eye contact etc...
Don't worry about if it gets quiet or not, the interviewer will ask questions to keep things going.
When it becomes a job like this they probably want someone with experience. If you don't have much, there really is not much you can do.
Other than that, good luck.
By the way, what state do you live in or city and what program did you apply to to get a job like this? I've been looking for a teen counseling program for some time now.

Hey there.
Okay, so. I work at Six Flags & this new guy named Alex just recently started working there too. So, we started talking, exchanged numbers & what have you. I never exactly told him that I liked him, because I knew he had a girlfriend.
Basically, him & his girlfriend were on a break, because she had chosen to be on it. Like, a month before he even met me and then we went to the movies last night & two nights ago. She was sooo furious. She got SO mad like, and Alex's younger sister sent me a message on Myspace, and she's like freaking out because she loves his ex girlfriend.
I don't know what to do. Because, Alex's ex girlfriend works at Six Flags too, and even though I won't see her all the time, I just don't want her starting crap with me.
Is this like, normal that his younger sister like totally hates me? Because, I don't want her to hate me already. Haha, it sucks. & also, is it wrong that I'm like dating Alex too? Has anyone else been through this?
Thanks.
Although I really, really suck at life, here's what I would do.
I would talk to Alex about the situation, explain everything to him and all. I would just ignore his sister. I would not go up to his ex and try to explain yourself, she sounds a bit like a dumbass to me. And everyone knows dumbasses are unreasonable. She decided to take a break, now her ex is seeing another person. She has no right to be pissed at you. If she gives you shit, just ignore it. There is no need to to create more drama.
No it is not wrong you're dating Alex.

My penis came into contact with my girlfriends vagina. I did not stick in my penis but it did touch the outer walls of the vagina. Precum might have been present but i'm not sure. is there chances of her being pregnant?
Hmmm..
I'd say the chances of her being pregnant are the same of that you dying in a car accident tomorrow.

Just be on your best behavior. Offer to do chores, don't ask to get rides anymore for a week or two. Be real polite and courteous.
Also, what kind of parties have parents and die down at 10? :)

my best friend is mentally challended, and has accidentally killed a young women. if i turn him in he will spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital where he will probably live a sad and fearful life. but if i run away with him he might do the same to someone esle and this would make me an accessory to a crime and both of us will be fugitives of the law-- wanted for murder. but if i kill him i will spare my friend the pain of living a cruel existence in a mental hospital. he is my only friend and i will not see him get hurt what should i do.
To mods: Don't delete this question, it's about of mice and men.
Anyways, you might as well tell us it would about of mice and men so it wouldn't get deleted.
I would say that in the case of Lenny, yes mercy killing is justified. He's prone to getting in trouble, and he died happy anyways. It was the only thing George could've done. Agree with the author because the argument is so much easier to support. All the events in the book support George's decision.

do you gain weight from not eating. because my friend is trying to gain weight & she said her mom told her if she don't eat she'll gain weight. is that true ?
Wow.
This is common sense right here. Mass = weight. If you don't eat, therefore not consume mass, you don't gain weight.
If you don't eat, you lose weight. BUT by not eating, it screws up your metabolism so that when you do it, later, you will gain a whole lot of weight. Of course, starving yourself in the long run will still make you lose more weight, it'll also completely screw up your metabolism.
I wouldn't try it if i were you

I'am a 30 yr old male and she is 27 yrs old. I have been dating a girl who is bipolar and everything seems to be going great. I'am nervious about her condition. But I really want to know if this relationship will work and how I should handle the relationship. Thanks.
I can't really give you dating advice when it comes to adult relationships. I can tell you what bipolar I and II are.
But first of all, what kind of bipolar is she? bipolar I or II? If she is bipolar I, I think it's safe to say that it will influence your relationship, at least if you get serious with her. This is because bipolar I people can have episodes when they become insane. In some extreme cases, they even start hallucinating. But these cases are rare, I doubt she has experienced them.
If she's bipolar II, a lot of it will be determined by what kind of person she is. She will sometimes be down, or up, but if she's a tough person she should be able to overcome it.
If she is bipolar I, and although I doubt it, if she is a really, really reasonable and strong willed person, she may be able to control herself.
Other than that, bipolar is a pretty common disorder found in a lot of people. You could have friends, co workers, relatives, who are bipolar and you don't even know about it.

which grade in high school is it usually required to read Great Expectations by Charles Dickens?
It depends on your school district and state.
But it would usually be around 9th or 10th. If you read it in 11th or 12th, your school district probably sucks.
I read it in 9th.

i need some kinda fast songs you can dance to.
bands I like
panic! at the disco.
cobra starship.
taking back sunday.
paramore.
maroon 5.
thanks
Hmm..
Check out The Faint
They're an electronic/dance/rock type of band. They are the perfect rock group to dance to.
EDIT: Ok, here are a few more bands that you can dance to. They're all small bands but they have the beat and style that makes it possible to dance to their music that most rock bands lack.
1. hollywood undead
2. Dirty Sanchez
3. Hot Hot Heat
If you need to find anymore, check out lastfm.com, they have all sorts of playlists.
and for the record, you can't really dance to bands such as taking back sunday(unless if they've really, really changed their sound) you can hardly mosh to them.

Im an american citizen but I've lived in Europe my whole life. I've always planned on going back for University, now that it is time to do so, I found out I need to take the SATs. The SAME SATs you all take. In english. I can't do it! I've never studied MATH in english, I definitely will not be able to pass the reading/wriing part of it since the only english I ever speak is during the summer when I visit my cousins! I speak fluently, but I'm way beind in the other areas. And it's not like all I need to do is PASS, I need really OUTSTANDING scores. How do I prepare? I've heard in America you have special books that help you and professors and all sorts of preparations. I don't think I'll be able to get ahold of that kind of material. What should I do? If you've taken the SATs, and you know it was hard for you, and you sense that I wont be able to do it (becase I only have 2 months to practice for it) please tell me now, so I wont put myself through the pain of spending my whole summer studying for it to find out I failed.
Do I have a shot here? Was it hard? How should I prepare? What kind of things came on the test that I should ractice on? Thank you!
Your best shot is to come back to the US and take an SAT class.
The SAT math questions aren't hard, they're just tricky. They screw around with the way the words are arranged in the question to trick you. make sure you are fully awake during the math portion and read each question carefully.
Also, try to buy an SAT practice book, in the back of the book, there should be several rip out notecards that have vocabulary words on them. Rip out those words and study every single one of those words. They will provide a great deal of help on the SAT
As for the grammar part, you might want to have take a english grammar class for it. Whether here or in Europe. If you normally don't write english, then the grammar section will be ridiculously hard for you.
Visit collegeboard.com and check out their timed writes. Do as many of those as possible. Keep in the mind that the essay portion of the SAT asks you "bullshit" questions. They ask you questions with answers that are impossible to prove, such as , "Is capitalism morally corrupt?" Keep in mind they don't care about what your answer is, they care about how you answer it. For example, (although this would never happen) if they asked the question "was the holocaust a horrible even in history?" and you answered no, but managed to answer it in an eloquent way and supported your viewpoint with well written arguments, you would get a decent score, unless if some holocaust survivor grades your paper of course...
In addition, American universities also look at other aspects in your life when it comes to accepting you for their college. If you are good at any sports, such as track, you could possibly get a scholarship. Also, knowing a second language should help you with your chances of getting in college.
You can take the SATs as many times as you want, but they only offer it a limited number of times.
The ACT is a very important test, some colleges prefer it over the SAT, so yes the ACT is a test you should also take. I have no idea what is on it though.
If possible, take the SAT II's. The topics in the SAT's are universal ones such as math, chemistry, biology, etc... so a lack of an English background shouldn't impair your scores too much.
