Q: 14/f
This summer I want to lost weight. I weigh about 115. It's not bad for me. I'm 5'5. But its not muscle. I'm not fat, but I'm not skinny either. So mostly I want to look fit. I want to try to be healthier too. So any ideas what I can do? Thanks so much!

Eat well! Fruits are a great option, they're good for breakfast or for a quick snack. (I heard somewhere that apples are "negative calories," meaning they add a few calories but take a lot more to digest.) Go for a balanced diet, with grains and veggies and dairy. Eat when you're hungry, not when it's "time" to eat. Some good snacks would be fresh fruit/veggies, granola bars, or cereal. Don't forget to eat breakfast! Good luck.

Q: I was wondering, is there a way to trick the body into thinking that it ISN'T starving. Like if I am consuming 1200-1500 cal a day but I am like eating 3 meals instead of like 5 or 6, could I do something like have a slice of cheese or a slice of meat every hour or maybe like a slice of something every hour that way my body doesn't plateau in weight loss?

Being "full" depends on both your brain and your stomach. Your stomach thinks it's full when, well, it's full of food. Your brain thinks you're full when you've consumed a certain amount of food. If you eat quickly, your stomach fills up, but your brain doesn't really register the fact that you're eating a lot of food. Chew slowly, it almost tricks your brain into thinking that you're eating a lot. And sip water between bites, this does the same thing.
One last note: the average person needs 2000 calories a day. You should check with your doctor if you're planning on drastically cutting down your calorie intake.

Q: If my cherry didn't pop the first time I had sex, am I still considered a virgin?

I think the definition of "virgin" varies from person to person, but most people would say that because a penis entered your vagina, you are no longer a virgin.

Q: Is it okay to kiss my g/f on her forehead while we hug? Would she find that weird or ok? I love her a lot and want to show more affection for her. I don't want to make her uncomfortable or unhappy though. What are your thoughts on a guy kissing his girlfriend on the forehead?

I have no idea what that could be, but I know you should definitely see your doctor about it.

I know what you mean. Just laugh it off! Give a shy smile, roll your eyes, and thank them. Then compliment them in return! Try, "Thanks! But I'm not the one with the amazing purple shirt." Or something along those lines.

I just graduated from high school, and I've never been kissed. And I'm pretty normal, if I do say so myself. It may seem like a big issue now, but you'll live, I promise (:

Q: ok when do guys like really start getting perverted(sex,makeing out)..like do the start at 12,13,14 b/c i kno some guys that are perverted that are like 12 but i dont kno if others are or if its just those guys!!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

It depends on the person, but I would say in general that 12-14 sounds right.
PS: Wanting to make out and have sex does not make someone perverted.

Q: Ok I was at a party and I was kind of fliritng with this girl. We were both sober. Later that night we sat next to each other on the couch and she let me put my arm around her. Then the two of us made out in the rain. When I left the party I texted her later that day and asked what her favorite part of the party was. She replied it was meeting me. Is there more to this or is this just like a party hookup kinda.

I don't usually answer these questions, but yours was short (thank you!!!) and fairly simple to answer (I think.)
It sounds to me like she likes you! In fact, it sounds like a perfect evening, and the exact opposite of a "party hookup kinda." Let her know you're interested, ask her out! Good luck!!

Q: What is the fastest way to loose some weight within a couple of weeks, with no equipment? I have been wanting to get more fit this summer. I know I'm not fat, but I want to be more athletic. Please and Thank you!

I don't know much about exercising, but you should definitely watch your diet. Chew more slowly, and sip water between bites. Instead of reaching for junk food or a dessert, try fruits or veggies. Instead of a milkshake, go for a fruit smoothie. Good luck!

I used to use picturetrail.com. I don't know what it's like now, but before you could upload a few different albums, and decorate them, but were limited to a certain number. Now I use facebook; I have over 150 albums and haven't been stopped yet (:

Try H&M, Delia's, or Gadzooks (which actually sells Forever 21 clothes, occasionally).

Q: Im a 19 year old female and have not had sex yet. I had a boyfriend for a couple months but he we never tried to have sex. I really want to experience it before i turn 20. Is it worth it? And is it ok for it to be someone i really dont want to be with? I dont know what to do!!!

Personally, I don't think it's worth it. You want to lose your virginity to him just so you can say you lost it before you were twenty? Why not wait until just the right moment with just the right person? Is the age as important as the person? It's up to you.

Q: I'm fourteen
I'll be fifteen August Fifteenth
My parents are apparently running low on money and I'm getting tired of my dad yelling at me everytime I ask for ten bucks
I also need money so I can go out shopping and stuff
But because of my age. Not many places will hire
I'm thinking I'll be the only sophmore without a job come September
So, are their any places that will hire at fourteen?
Or even fifteen?
I live in northern New Jersey, if that helps
Thanks. (:

I'm in Massachusetts, and I know that waitstaff laws are a bit iffy. Usually you can get a job as a waitress or busser even at a young age; you get paid less than minimum wage but you rake it in in tips.
Also, just curious: where are the rest of the sophomores working? You could try getting a job there...

Q: What are some non-alcoholic drinks that you can serve in a teenage party and how do you make them? My friend suggested that I make non-alcoholic pina coladas but I don't know how to so, please, if you can make good suggestions and they need to be made, detail how I can make them!

Try mixing Sprite, ginger ale, or seltzer water with any transparent fruit juice. Also, if possible, get authentic margarita glasses, and paper umbrellas! That always makes it more fun. (Chunk up fruit to go on the sides of the glasses! And you can turn the glasses upside down into a shallow bowl of water, then dip them in sugar for a salt-around-the-rim look.)

Q: I have purchased the prescription Chantix and am now on my way to a smoke-free life. I have been noticing some things that make me (my body) feel different after not smoking for a few days. For example, I feel like I have A LOT more energy...is this from quitting? Will I notice more things like this as I continue this journey? Or was this just nervous energy and all of this is this just in my head?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't have an answer for you, per ce, but I do want to point out that it shouldn't matter if your newfound energy actually comes from quitting or not. Even if you're just imagining it, like a placebo-type thing, it's still a positive effect of quitting.
PS: Congratulations!! I'm proud of you and I don't even know you. Not to lecture or anything, but by quitting smoking you're helping yourself AND the people around you. Thank you!

Q: So, I was thinking about babies and how the body works in miraculous ways. I know that in the womb, the baby is surrounded in fluids, right? Well, how does the baby not drown? I just don't understand. I heard something about doctors having to suction fluid from the baby's lungs when it is born but how in the world did the fluid get in there without killing the baby (or did I hear wrong)?
I mean, why can we not go into water after birth without drowning?...or can we?
|

I don't know any of the technical terms, but I know that babies in the womb get their nutrients and oxygen from the liquid that surrounds them. That's why some people suggest giving birth into a bathtub or whatever; supposedly it's more comfortable to go from liquid to liquid rather than suddenly being exposed to the air.
