every time i run the mile for P.E. i get these painful cramps while running and even if i stretch before running i still get cramps. what type of stretches should i use to prevent the cramps?
You get those cramps only because you're probaly out of shape and after you run for a while those cramps will go away.
hi i live in michigan and over spring break my best friend and I are going to los aggeles, california! we're realllllly excited any everything but we're worried bcuz some of our friends are jealous and we don't want them to feel bad. what should we do?
thanks
I think you have every right to be excited just don't brag about it in their faces. Just to make sure your friends don't get too mad I probaly wouldn't even talk about the trip when they were around. Also say that you'll bring them a small souvenier back or something like that.
ok, so, I'm in the 8th grade and I live in, and I'm about to go to highschool, but I dont know which one to go to. 2 highschools, brooklyn tech in brookyn and townsend harris in queens, have offered me a seat, and they're both good. but townsend is like REALLY good and it's hard to get into, but I heard there's a LOT of hw, like 4 hours worth of it every day, and going to townsend is like completely giving up your social life, and everyone's telling me to go there. I want to go there cuz it's close to me, and it's really intelligent, but I wont know anyone there. people that used to go to townsend said that college seemed easy compared to the highschool, and that they benefited a lot from the school. most of the kids I know are going to brooklyn tech. the school's definately not as good as townsend but it's still good because it's one of the six specialized highschools in nyc, but I'm really interested in it because some of my best friends are going there, and becuz I kno there will be tons of hot guys.
i wanna be smart.. but I wanna have fun also
what school would you choose?
(sry if it's too long)
I would go to townsend. Going to that school would be good for your future because it would prepare you for college, and you would get a quality education. YOu would def. meet new friends there so you wouldn't have to worry about that. And as far as boys go I'm sure there are cute ones at townsend, but honestly that shouldn't be a determining factor in what school you decide to go to.
hey, I'm going to Florida in 3 or 4 days and i want to look a little "less" in my bathing suit... like losing 10 pounds. Does anyone have any ideas how to make it work [besides becoming anorexic or bulimic]. thanks so much
I honestly don't think you'll lose a substanstial amount of weight with the time you've given yourself.But you should def. start exercising a couple of times a day. Drink more water, and eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.
okay my friend are the so called popular group and they have all had or have boyfriends and stuff and are slutty and stuff like that and i am friends w/ them and i have never had a boyfriend (though i have grinded w/ guys b4)and like when ever they bring up the subject of like boyfrinds or hooking up i always fell uncomfortable.......also i have been cutting latly because i have just become so overwelmed w/ every thing!help me out?
The thing about friends is that they never make you feel uncomfortable or stuff like that. Maybe you should find new friends that you feel a little bit more comfortable around. I'm not saying that you should drop your popular friends completely but maybe you should take a break with hanging from them because if you're cutting yourself from all the stress than there's a problem.
i was going out with this guy john secretly (i broke up with him though) b/c my friend alexia said taht if i went out with him then she would turn everybody against me. i didn't think that was fair so i went out with him secretly. but she found out and so did the whole school. i denied it but john didn't. everyone beleved me. but then my friend set me up and alexia was on the line listening. now she is REALLY PISSED at me. she is hella mad and might drop me as a friend and turn the whole school against me. she even said she was thinkn about it. i dont know what to do b/c SHE WILL turn everyone against me. she's already done it to some people. i just really dont know what to do. im not blaming anyone but myself. Please what should i do??!!
Once she threatened to turn the whole school against you the first time is when you should've realized that she wasn't a real good friend. You should talk to her and tell her that if you she was really mature then she would forgive you for what you done, and that you've broken up with John. Hopefully she'll forget about the whole situation.
Ok, my friend Chris and I are TOTALLY weird. We both have shoes, and were like in love with them! We spit polish them, try not to get them into the mud, and admire them. My Baby Phats are sitting next to me right now and I'm admiring them as I type. Anyway, is this normal? I'm just wondering.

I'm just like you are with your shoes (except for the spit polishing thing) it's normal but just don't get to carried away with trying to take care of your shoes. If you find yourself wearing plastic bags on your shoes to school or something drastic like that them maybe you're taking it too far but right now you're fine.
My old bff spread rumors that i was cutting myself and had social problems when i was out of school one week beacause i had mono. Everyone believed them and it about ruined my social life i had no friends for about a month then i met my new bff. The old one apologized and we are friends again but she always tries to start little fights between us like i couldnt talk to her crush or ne other boy cuz i have a bf. Wut should i do? friends or not friends?
You def. shouldnt' be friends with her anymore. She sounds more like a "toxic" friend than a real friend. You already know from past expierences what type of person she is, if i were you i wouldn't take any chances with her again.
at school, its sooo annoying! i am so good in every subject...EXCEPT american History. i study so hard but i just cant do it. i got a 65% on my last test and my highest is an 80...but i always get 50's and 60's on them. my friend doesnt even have to study and she gets 90s and 100s. what can help me study more and learn/remember the stuff?
Since your friend seems to get good grades on her test, ask her to help you study. Studying is always more fun with a friend.
Well, right now i'm 13, I weigh 97 pounds & i'm 5' 2". I have some issues with my body. My stomach seems to be a lil chubby, not like "omg look how chubby she is" but like when i bend over my skin over laps andyou can grap it. It even leave marks on my skin. What can i do? My thighs jiggle when i hit them and when i sit down they expand so much, what can i d to get rid of it? Also, my arms are rele skinny and shrimpy, how can i build musle on them? Two more things.. unde my eyes i have dark circle that go down to my cheek bone and i have so much acess skin so that to over laps under my eye, and my cheeks are rele chubby like i have no jaw line. idk, people say i'm like the skinniest girl eva.. but i doubgt it. Please help me. thnx
Your 97 lbs trust me you're skinny! the problem isn't with the weight it's probaly with your self esteem. If you want to build muscle so you can have less flab lift weights, but you def. don't need to loss any weight. For your stomach you should do crunches cuz they do help.
I know I have a sleeping disorder, I have too. I don't get enough sleep and I always feel run down. I have a busy schedule and I barely get 4 hours a sleep a night. Mostly I have time to sleep but I can't go to sleep. Its like I fight my sleep or anything. I could be in a room so dark and not be able to fall asleep. I would just stare at nothing. And I take stuff to go to sleep but it really messes me up in the day. What can I do?
Before you go to bed you shouldn't drink caffiene because that could make you energetic, and i heard that if you do exercises before you go to bed that prepares your body for sleep( i read that in YM magazine) but you should def. go to a doctor because you could possibly be an insomniac
OK, I am so pissed off right now, I had a crush on these guys and they dared me to wear my short pink lavender skirt to school and wear a thong under it, and bend over while throwing away a piece of paper, so I did it, and when I bent over I let out a huge toot and now they keeping making fun of me! I am embaressed, but now they pobably don't like me, huh?
help please.
This is a perfect time where you have to suck it up and just laugh at yourself. If they see that you have a good sense of humor they may even like you more. Don't worry eventually they will forget about it, and maybe they'll do something dumb and you can laugh at them
Erggg...I'm 13 and i STILL weigh only 70 pounds!! i'm not worried that i'm short, it's okay with me, but i really need to gain weight! i dont wanna die form this! And pigging out on junk food dont help either....
You may have hyperthyroid syndrome. Go to the doctor and ask him what you should do to gain more weight.
Okay I failed a test in school with a 65, and to raise the grade, the teacher said we could take a retest. Problem is, we have to show a note to our parents saying we failed, and have them sign it. The re-test is tomorrow, and I still haven't showed my parents the note. WHAT do I do? Because..my parents kill me if I even get an 85. Help me. :(
Show them the note. It's better than keeping the 65 as your grade. Tell them that if you take the retest then it will erase the 65, and that you'll try your hardest to get an A
My friend just "decided" to like the same guy that I do. I didn't go out and tell her that I like him before, but it was really obvious (i.e- everyone was telling us to go out, we were flirting a lot) Now today, she decided she can't figure out who to like, but she thinks she's going to go with the person I like, and she was crying like some little kid at the end of the day because she doesn't know what to do and.. Do I have a right to be mad at her?? I mean, now, if he ever asked me out, I couldn't say yes, because a friend is more valuable than a boy.
You have a right to be mad at her. Your friend must be really boy crazy if she actually has to take time out of her day to actually think about who she should like next. But you are also right. I would talk to her about it and ask her if she likes him, if she says no, then i would say yes if he asked me out. But if she does like him than i would be a little pissed, but would just forget about the boy.
I'm really upset. I just recently tried out for Grease. And I don't think I got in. And I think the only reason why is because the director couldn't read my e-mail address. I think I did good because the man I sang to for my audition said I did excellent. I am wondering should I e-mail the director? She didn't send out all the cast things yet but it's just not fair that she is sending out roles on different days. What should I do?
You should definetly talk to the director and ask her why you didn't make the play. Use her cristisicm to make yourself better, and come back next year and audition, and you'll probaly get a good part. But don't let this get you down. Every talented person has gotten rejected once or twice, but you just have to make the best out of it. Good Luck.
ok.. well.. heres my little situation! im about 5'6 and i weigh 106. yeah i don't like my thighs very much.. i mean they're small.. but big. yeah that makes sense right? haha i know it doesn't. anywaysss well im going to california in march and i want to maybe loose 2 or 3 pounds to weigh 104 or 103. i don't want to be anorexic about it or anything even though i act kind of anorexic sometimes. yeah i don't know if i should try lose a couple pounds or not.. i mean i know im skinny.. i guess but w/e. do you think i need too? and i dont eat that much already so what would a healthy (atleast somewhat) way to do this?
thanks.. srry its long-ish
If you think you're skinny why would you want to lose weight? You need to find something better to do than worry about your weight, because you're already at a healthy weight. You don't need to lose weight, and you should def. become more healthy by actually eating healthy well-balanced meals.
i love to swim, and i am pretty good at. ive swum (?) on a summer team for 3 years and did really well. but its hard to like get out of the water and walk away and stuff cuz im kinda fat and i feel so self conscieous. i have friends on the team so its not like i am alone. but ive offered to swim on a team called seaback (auditions only/best of the best) but i dont know any one there. i dont know if should say yes or no.
If you reallly love to swim than you should def. do it. It sounds like your good so you shouldn't let this oppurtunity pass you by just because you're afraid of people might say about your weight. I'm pretty sure you'll make friends with the people on the team,so i think you should do it.
ok. well, a couple of weeks ago, i met this guy for the first time. i knew him through a friend, but we'd never met before. i talked to him on msn messenger and texted him and he was really flirty. when i met him, he asked me out, and i said yes, but he seemed really shy. ive just come back from having lunch at his house with his parents, and he still seems kind of shy and akward. i know he hasnt had many girlfriends before, but he always seems embarased and scared to kiss me,and scared that he's going to do something wrong. how can i improve his confidence? and mine? this is my first proper boyfriend and i dont really know what im doing. im 14/f
Since it is his first relationship he's just nervous, and probaly doesn't want to mess anything up. I think maybe you guys should get to know each other more, so you can feel more comfortable with each other, and things won't be so awkward between you. To improve his confidence just let him know that you really like him, and he'll start to let loose a little. It already sounds like you have good confidence so just be yourself, and he should like you.
hi i have a friend that is WAyy to prideful of her backround. she like, bases her life on it. il use an example, say if she were spanish, shed make a sn that would be like spanishbaby or cutie spanishgirl and she has nicknames, real nicknames that are words in spanish like guapa or buena chichi chicana etc or some crap like that, and her whole family speaks it n shes always singing songs in it, and talking it to me. shel say something and then il be like what?? and shel say it in english, like "it means im so cool in spanish". and always wearing clothes that represent it, and rarely does she have friends that dont speak it. and her whole room is decorated in it, and she wears jewelry representing it, and shes always like "you cant speak it stupid" or she always like "oh shutup you cant even speak it" if i try to say a word, and shel just go up to random people and be like haha she cant read spanish. im not saying i dont like her i maen its just getting SO annoying, i wouldnt be so annoyed if maybe i spoke it too, but im just getting terribly sick of it. shes always talking it to people behind my back..laughing at me with another person, what do you think i should do?
There's nothing wrong with her showing pride in her background. If you really have a problem with it tell her, I doubt she'll change but it's always worth a try. Maybe you should distance yourself from her for a while. And maybe you can use this as a learning experience to learn a new culture.
