Q: I'm 16 (i'll be 17 in june) and I don't get my period. When I was 13 I got for about 3 or 4 months then it stopped. When i waz 14 it came for about 2 or 3 months and hasn't come back since. What could be wrong with me?
WOW!! i would LOVE to have this problem!! YEP like everyone said, it is pretty normal. But get it checked out!

Q: When I got off the bus today, my best said, "God, my mom got on my nerves last night." And I asked her what she did and she's like, "She was saying how I don't need to hang around the popular people and be in cliques and talk about people and stuff." And I said, "So she just randomly said that? Haha, why'd she say it?" Right after I said that, my mom drove up so I had to go. I called her about 45 minutes ago and I said, "So, what were you saying at the bus stop?" And she's like, "Uhh, I can't talk about it. They're here." And I said, "Um, what? WHO'S here? Ughhh, what were you talking about after school?" And she's like, "I gotta go. Bye." We said bye and she hung up after that. A few minutes later she texted me and said, "My mom was right next to me!!" And I sent something back and I said, "Oh, sorry. :[ I didn't know." I don't understand why she won't tell me anything, though. We normally tell each other EVERYTHING. If she's not telling me...do you think it's about me or something? Ahhhh! I don't know. Her mom told her to stop hangout with whoever it was that she was talking about it. What do I do?!?!
She probably didn't want to tell you right then because she didn't want to get back into it with her mom. The convo wasn't meant for you to hear in the first place so she didn't want to get in trouble. If it was about you i think that she would tell you since she tells you everything else.

Q: whenever im shopping in V.S. i always see really cute lingere (sp?), you know bras & thongs & little strap/hooks that attach the two. anyways online i dont see any of that! idk why, anyways the point is.. i want to show my boyfriend a couple of the outfits but i cant b/c there are no online pics.. so are there any other stores with similar lingere & a website with pics. thanks
Search for v.s lingerie instead of just going to Victoria secret.

Q: how come there are some people that have everything? like theres this girl that used to be in my class.. shes practically perfect. she was blessed with really good looks (she was like one of the first people to start wearing make up and unlike most people, she looks really good in it), amazing hair (always a different hairstyle everyday, too!), and... jesus.. you like never see her wear the same outfit twice! and every outfit looks sooo trendy and cute. she has soo many accessories and etc.. she also has a ton of friends, and an older sister. she's also an amazing soccer and basketball player, and even though she doesnt get the best grades (shes in low literacy, too) shes pretty nice to everyone, so its hard to hate her! but i swear, I bet everyone is jealous, lol. I used to think that she lives in an apartment, but it turns out she lives in one of the gigantic mansions in my area! and her parents are still together and have alot of money (obviously). everything seems so perfect! and she doesnt get upset alot, but once in 6th grade she was like really upset that like.. gum got on her $40 dollar bra from victorias secret. omg.. who buys a bra for 40 dollars I ask you!?!?!? how is this possible! she also gets alot of her stuff from hollister, which isnt even in our nearby mall.. so she must go to those other real expensive malls where she gets all her glam stuff. jeez... some people have all the luck! me and my friend were talking about her.. i knew her last year, and she was nice and has a good personality, (though sometimes she can seem too overconfident.. if you know what I mean) but you couldnt help to be jealous! now when i look at my life.. my family is not all that rich, but we're not poor either. my dad is starting a company which probably will be big if it works out (hes still setting it up) but like.. I dunno. then i'd have to leave all my friends here.. and that would suck because its not the same when you meet new people and you havent known them since kindergarten.. or like it may, but its better to grow up with people... if you get what i mean. anyway, i'll probably wear an outfit and then mix it up a little the next week.. but basically still wear the same thing. i only have 1 pair of jeans that actually looks good (from american eagle) and well.. yeah. i cant really follow trends because now my parents arent all that rich. heck i couldnt even have a 13th bday party and i have to pay for me and my friends to see a movie instead. (I'm 13 today and my "movie party" is next week). I'm pretty, but my mom wont let me get make up.. i dont even have enough money to get my own make up, nor do i know how to apply it. i'm kinda shy unless you get to know me, and well i do good in schools, and i like to play soccer, basketball, and dance, but I'm not like an amazing athlete like that girl im talking about was. like i didnt make the soccer team (im in 7th grade) and she made the team, and its the A team! most of the A team is 8th graders, and most of the B team is 7th graders. wow.. just wow. she even gets to play soccer otherwise in a different county than ours like 30-40 mins away.. and its travel soccer! i only get to do rec.. and i've only played in 3 seasons. i wish i started soccer earlier.. basketball too, but im better at basketball than soccer. ugh.. i just.. dont know. i guess like.. everyone has something special about them.. im not saying that i dont like myself.. I think I'm a great person and all, but like.. its just kinda unfair that this girl has like everything! i dont even have an ipod, cellphone, etc. I have like.. gameboy color, and a gamecube, opposed to nintendo DS and playstation 3. and.. like etc. i know this was ridicuosly long, but its been in my head. i dunno if i just like have no self confidence.. sometimes i dont, but usually i do... well it depends if im in a good mood or not. or maybe its because im wacko, which some of y'all may say. or maybe im just a green jealousy-person. ugh.. well.. yeah thats pretty much it.

also, what do you think it takes to be popular? i dunno what i am.. i dont know anybody that hates, me and i have friends and junk (no boyfriend, too). i dont deliberately try to be mean to people, if i am, im probably just joking around, unless i really mean it, but thats rare. i wont be like "your such a bitch, amanda!" since i'm like a positive person and think everyone has a good thing about them (I know.. kinda retarded way of thinking. like theres this loser guy in my class and even though hes made fun of me before (it was really retarded, and this guy i liked stuck up for me, though i dont care what the loser guy says
I didn't read all of this because it was pointless. BUT I will tell you that you need to appreciate what you got because some people don't even have that.

The Being popular thing, people like her because she has things. I bet she doesn't have a lot of real friends.. Stop being envious of her and live your own life. Besides envy is a sin.

Q: i get bad pit stains mostly in the summer but sometimes in gym class at school so i always have to put a sweatshirt or something on so no one sees because its gross but that just makes me hotter so it doesnt help other than the fact that people cant see them any more. does anyone know any good products or techniques that can help to prevent this or stop it totally. thanks so much!
Over productive sweat glands.
I am guessingg you are a guy? This may sound gross to you but try shaving the hair that is under your arms. AND using a different deoderant. If you use powdered use gel, if you gel use powdered.The hair under your arms is only going to make you sweat more.

Q: Ok I am 14/F. There is this guy that I would do anything for! I love him to death most may think aww phh you dont know what love is. All I can say is F*ck you. But yes I really did love him! I tried my very best to stay with him and we were together for about 3 months. Everything was good we were happy together every moment available we spent together, he came to my softball practices and all that my mom loved him. She even told me that the only reason I was alowed to go to the riverfront for 4th Of July was because she felt I was safe with him!
One day, a couple of my friends, and him went over to my friends house. Well we were all there and I started feeling light headed and I told him We will call him Bryan. But Bryan was like Do you need to sit down? As soon as I sat down barfed.. lol so I went home, he wanted to stayy with me so I called my mom and asked if he could come home with me because he wanted to make sure I was OK. But my mom said no..
Well that night I talked to my g-ma who i used to trust. and I asked her why my dad didnt like him.. She was talkign about that Bryan is only with me for sex. I was like if that was the case why the fuck did he clean my puke up off the floor, and hold me all the way home? She was liek i dunno and I mentioned something about him asking me to be his one day. But i told her he meant marrying him but she still took it as having sex with him and she went ot my folks and all that shit... and now im not suppoe to see him and they put a restraining order against him. Well I love him soo much that my heart aches today everytime i think of him. He nor I have dated anyone since this happened and it has been about 4 months. I saw him today all i said was I love you. and he said it to me and I left I was afraid of getting caught... I dont want him to get into anymore trouble. He is going about for a 6 or 8 months and I will not see him for longer than that.. What do yall think about this?
Honestly there is nothing you van do. Yo can try to talk to your parents but they seem like they already got their minds made up. You are only 14. So they think they know what is best. The only thing i can really say is good luck.

Q: 14/f my best guy friend asked me out today, but i said no because i really don't like him like that (he's like a brother to me), plus he dumped his girlfriend so that he could ask me out! so even if i did go out with him, how do i know that he won't do that to me if he sees another girl that he likes better. i really want him the remain my best guy friend because, like i said he's like my brother and i don't know what i'd do without him, so how do i keep our friendship alive when it is bound to be akward?
Did you tell him why you said no? You should have if you didnt. By you and him being so close, he probably did think that you and felt the same way. You should have gave him clear signs. And dont say you did because if you did he would not have did what he did.

Q: f/

how do u bump and grind a guy? i dont really understand how to do it. thanks!
What kind of questionis this? You must be young. Watch a hip hop video. You cant really explain to someone how to do this.

Q: One of my friends has really bad body odor.
Its so bad, even our teachers complain about
it when they walk into the classroom. My friends
and I have tried to drop hints like 'Oh I just
got this great new deorderant you should try!'
'What kind do you use?' We've even bought
her perfume, which hasn't helped.
She's sensitive, so we're not sure how to
tell her she stinks. When we say something
smells bad, she just brushes it off by saying
"I don't smell anything"

.. What should we try?
OMG tell her! Thats the best thing to do. She might be sensative but how do you think she would feel if the guy she liked told her she smelled bad? Just tell her in private. That you love her to death but she smells.

Q: I wanted to ask how do you do a split and what do you recommend fo an amount of time to excersize to tone up and lose weight in a 1 month in half. What can you do to amke your skin softer with eggs or milk. What do you to stand out in front of a boy you like?
The losing weight thing, i weigh 112LBS!!! but if you want to tone up your legs running is good. You dont have to run a long distance either. A short 10 minute run everday will help. Use moisturizer on your skin. Any kind that says it has milk in it is and extra help. If you want to even attempt the slips sit with your legs v shaped and and stetch them as far as you can without being in pain. Try a little more each day. Exercising will help you lose weight but not just running. Sit ups and stuff help too.
You should eat baked food instead of fried, more seafood like fish and shrimp. And try eating a healthy fruit breakfast. Drink water!! It not only hydrates it fills you up. It can take the place of something your eating. AND if you do decide to run, take along some gatorade. It gives your body back the salt your sweating away.

Q: sorry if i'm being rude, but i would really like to see a picture of you since you're albino. And I would also like you to explain about how you got it/ how it effects your life.
thanks,
sorry if i offended you.
peace out
Its pictures of me at www.myspace.com/youngmompimpin
Its also a girl on my friends lst named jennifer who is also albino.
You dont "get" albinism. Its a genetic disorder. Both parents have it in thier genetic traits but dont have to be albino themselves. If both parents have this trait, its a 50/50 chance that their child will turn out albino. It effects your skin color and your hair color. (lack of pigment) Albinos can be any race. (I'm Black)

How does it effect my life?

It doesnt really. I live life as a normal person. I have boyfriends. I have friends. I go out and party. The only thing is albinism effects some albinos' eyes, and it effected mine. I can see, but im considered legally blind. I cant drive and i cant see far away. So i just sit a little closer. In school i copied friends notes instead of trying to read the board, and everyonr understood. And i know your wondering, Do i get picked on. People on pick on you when they dont understand. And even if they do understand, and they still pick on me, it really doesnt bother me because EVERYONE has gotten picked on once before.

Hope i helped and no, you didnt offend me i like to inform!!

Q: okay im thirteen and i weigh 140 i want to loose some weight by june. preferably twenty pounds. well i was wondering. okay if i exercise for about an hour and a half a day [ thirty minutes tredmill, thirty minutes bike, & thirty minutes on the laying downish bike ] well what are the best things to eat that will make me loose more weight faster? like calorie intake? & i heard that if you sweat more you need to eat more is this true? - im not crash dieting or taking diet pills im doing it naturally
Sweat is a loss of salt so drink stuff like gatorade to keep you hydrated.
the bikes and treadmills are good for your lower body but what about your upper?
Some cruches or sit ups mite help with that.
Dont really know anything about calories but i know you should eat light.

Drink water!! Water fills you up. Salads with low fat dressings. Baked foods instead of fried. Fruits instead of sweet stuff.

Heres an idea: Eat a friut breakfast, with some orange juice
Lunch something that you like but dont go overboard.
Dinner, try to stick with some colorful veggies along side your meal.

AND EAT WHITE MEAT!!

Q: Okay, this gets a little confuzling. Say their names are Kim, Jane, and Lori. Kim and Jane are in 9th grade with me and Lori is in 10th grade. They are all bi and i have no problem with that considering that I'm bi. Anyways, Kim and JAne used to go out last year. They were kind of on and off for about 6months? Well, Kim has definately moved on but Jane is still lingering on Kim. Kim however is ignorant of that fact and goes between being her friend and getting mad at her. (I don't know the details but this has been going on since the end of last year). So anywas, so Jane has, yet again, said that Kim is officially really pissed off at her and it goes like this:

Kim and Lori are going out and they're both druggies. Lori is infamous for going out with someone for the max. of 2 weeks and within that time screwing them. Jane was really really sad when she heard that Kim was going out with Lori and I was like "Hmmm, not surprised." Then I was talking to Morgan, a guy, and he was like "So Kim is soo pissed at Jane because she said that Kim and Lori had sex." and I was like "Hmmm, woah REWIND." And I mean I have so doubt, but very little. There is a huge possiblity that they did have sex and just a little that this si false information.

Anywhos, so Kim gets mad at me if I talk to Jane and vice versa but they're BOTH my friends and not talking to either of them for a period of time isn't going to really help. So what do I do? And please don't suggest. GO TALK TO THEM or something like that. Should I just stay out of it or what?
Yes you should stay out of it. BUT they are your real friends if they are trying to make you choose sides and you should let them know that. Just because they are friends, don't mean you cant be friends with each of them.

Q: Okayyy.
So Im like tan all yer round due to having Indian in me.
Yet I know NOTHING about being indian cause i was raised white.
So it might be Normal for darker skintones to have dark circles under the eyes but what the hell can i do about them????
Its like wayyy annoying!


thanks!
oh 16/f
not exactly. My child is is black and barbadian. She had these circles but it was because her lack of iron.
So they is a chance that you are lacking iron or you arent gettin enough sleep.
try eating food filled with iron, and they also sell cream in stores to help with dark circles.

Q: Wellllll.. you see i don't really know.. i just got my schedule changed at school.. and im in a different lunch now.. and i dont really know where to sit.. because i just feel if i hang with the popular drama girls i will be in drama.. but i dont know.. if i sit with nerds ill probably be considered a nerd.. and be made fun of.. i don't know what to do.. im never this judgemental.. i just have been going through alot with people and all their drama.. and im just so confused and i cant eat or anything because im just so stressed.. i am actually not in drama though!! thats the thing.. i just know that its gonna come.. and i dont know i just dont wanna be in any because of the past 2 years that was my life at school.. and i dont really know where to sit at lunch.. should i sit with all these guys.. their nerds.. but their nice and my good friends.. and my friend kayla is the only one in my lunch.. i just feel kinda weird though i dont want to tell her too much about me because then maybe she'd spread drama about me.. im so confused. hELPPPPPPP please
You shouldnt worry about people talking about you because where you sit. They dont know anything about you. Sit with your friends. If you dont want to be in drama dont be in drama.

Q: i just went to a new school for the first time today, it's a way small school, and i'm the only girl in my individual classroom. I guess i like that, but i'm very confused.

one guy walked by me all day whispering 'sexy' over and over again. And another guy kept talking to me, and asking if i wanted to walk with him, and his friends continually laughing at him, and telling him to sit net to me.

This same last guy, told me at lunch that he thought Matt* liked me (neither of the previous guys). I asked why, and he said because i was hot. This guy then asks Matt if he thought i was pretty, and out of all of these guys, i lke matt the most. Matt kind of just stared at him, and replied, "are you being stupid?"

i can't figure that out. i was right there when he asked matt and i felt way uncomfortable.

i'm just generally confused, i guess? so anything is appreciated. thanks x x
There is a chance that this is a joke. Or matt may like you and this other guy caught him way off guard. Dont worry yourself over this because if he does like you im pretty sure he will approach you in the future.

Q: theres this girl who used to be my friend last year.. she only talked to me once this year and we're in the same club. and she acts like she doesnt even notice im there. its weird.. like what did i do? at first i didnt think much about it, but now like i was talking to my friends and stuff and she'd just butt in and talk to one of them, and wont even notice im there, it seems.

okay.. what the heck did i do? should i ask or just ignore her too? or any other ideas?? i kinda dont like her cuz shes sort of like a showoff, and she always acts so perfect and junk. pissed me off sorta since last year, but i guess it was just jealousy, since the guy i liked liked her.

AH getting off topic. anyway, answer my qeustion! heh
Just ask her. If she gets mad, it aint like you and her was talking in he first place so take that chance.

Q: Alright so im 16/f and there is this guy that i like and we are friends, but he's in college. Anyways hes coming home next weekend, and we are hanging out on friday night. My queestion is, what are some things that we can do. Not too expensive, and nothing like really romantic because I dont know if he likes me like that, and its the first time we've hung out by ourselves, with out other people

eat somewhere really cheap but casual like a fast food place. Good crowd not a lot of privacy.
Catch a movie. Nothin sappy something like a thriller.
Rent movies and hang out at home. Order pizza.

Thats all cheap and semi intaminte.

Q: is medicated vaseline okay to put on your lips, like use it as chapstick? because i know that the regular kind is?
Medicated is used for dry skin and stuff so im pretty positive that you can.

Q: I really like Tyra Bank's daytime Tv Show, "Tyra" is there anyways to get season 1 or not. If there isnt, its ok to tell me theres not I wont rate low, but if there is I'll be soo happy!!
Any thing is appreciated!
Go to www.tyrashow.com and they might be able to help. They may be able to send you copies of the show but they might charge you!
