Okay I need some major help here:
I have really skinny little boney legs.. and I want to make them normal sized! They're soooo skinny it's embarrassing! My arms are skinny too, I've just always been this way. I eat alot and whenever I eat, I eat until I'm full. I don't eat many vegetables, mainly fatty things...but it's weird because it goes to my stomach and nowhere else! Is there something wrong with my metabolism or something? Because it seems like my food doesn't distribute properly...or is there anyways that I can build up my arms and legs? Is it just a muscle thing, or an eating thing? Thank you so much for any feedback!! (link)

Wall-sits (squats) will help build up your leg muscles. Doing curls with weights will help with your arms. I don't think anything is wrong with your metabolism. We all are different. If you're having problem areas or need to work on your stomach try this website:

Good luck!

Is it true that a person can become skinnier but still weigh as much as they did when they where fat? Like that whole "muscle weighs more than fat", is that true? So, could I be skinny but still weigh a lot on the scale? Please explain that concept to me. Thanks!
P.S- I am 14/F if you need to know that;)
Also, I am about 145 pounds and 5ft 4in. (link)

Yes, that is true. Muscle weighs more than fat. I don't think you are overweight, but if you feel you need to tone some areas up there are lots of exercises you can do. I always have problems with my stomach and this website helps me:
http://www.pregnancy-info.net/topic_other_topics.html
I know it says it is for after you have a baby but honestly it helps all women/girls with their problem areas. Make sure you are eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and at least walking (if not doing more exercising) daily. That will keep your weight AND body healthy.
Good luck.

Im 14yrs old almost 15 and my height is 5'1,and too small for my age{i know}.My weight is 121pounds and I think im fat !.I dont want to eat anymore because I dont wanna gain weight.I exercise 3 TO 4 TIMES a week but is not working plz help me! (link)
|
Make sure you are eating or your body will go into "starvation mode", and you will actually gain weight.
Drink as much water as you can possibly stomach and you will lose weight.
Don't drink soda AT ALL.
Cut out sugary foods and chocolate. Replace them with fruit.
Instead of three big meals eat four or five small meals a day. Don't EVER skip a meal, especially not breakfast. Breakfast jump starts your day and your metabolism and tells your body to burn calories when you work out.
Hope that helps. Also, here is a website for some stomach exercises. I know you didn't just have a baby but they help target areas that we all have problems with.

Side crunches and wall sits have helped me. Also that website is great, even if you didn't just have a baby. It helps with the target areas you're talking about because that's the areas we have problems with after being pregnant. Good luck.
You gave me a 1?? Why?

I know you're not pregnant and didn't just have a baby, but that's a great website. Hope it helps.
Good luck!

i just want to get an opinion: does a layered haircut look choppy? i don't want to get it if it looks weird and uneven. i wanted it to be cut like this: http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p4369.htm go down to where it says "The Ashley Olsen Look" i wanted to get it like that and i wanted to show my hair stylest but i don't know where to get a bigger picture of it. also i have natrually straight long light brown hair and my mom says that if i want it to look like that i have to blowdry it every day.. is this true? thanks soooooooooo much!!!!! (link)
|
If your hair is naturally straight, you shouldn't have to blowdry it every day. That's a hard look to pull off, so be careful if you do it. Also it looks like it could be pretty high maintenance, such as a lot of brushing/styling, sometimes blowdrying (depending on the weather & how your hair acts in it), and hairspray/styling products. Make sure you're ready for a high maintenance "do" before you get your hair chopped off. :)
Good luck!

My boyfriend and I have been talking about having sex. We've had phone sex before, but i know thats much different. He once said "I want to make you cum" and after that I got really self concious. I know Im able to cum, I can feel an orgasm, but am I suppose to actually like "cum" as in like liquid stuff? Lol. My boyfriend asked me once and he was wondering if I came alot and I told him yes, but truthfully I dont ever come like THAT. I feel it but its never like....coming out of me... Is it suppose to be? Is there something wrong with me? Im nervous becuase I think thats something that gets him really excited...I can get wet but its never like how he assumes....Im really scared about him being insecure if i dont cum like that and he thinks that its a normal thing for me. What do I tell him? (link)
|
If you guys have sex and he is disappointed in how "much" you enjoyed it then just tell him it was wonderful/great/whatever and reassure him that you enjoyed it to the fullest and that it never just "comes out" like his does. You are completely normal in that aspect. Also, try different positions to optimize your enjoyment. That will help. I don't know how old you are, I'm hoping you're old enough to be giving this advice to! lol
P.S. Always use protection or you'll have a little rugrat running around and no time or energy for sex anymore!

My best friend just called me from her cell phone and said she was running away!! what do i do???? (link)
| |
Try and calm her down. Tell her running away isn't the answer, and depending on her age could get her in a lot of trouble. They will find her if she has her cell phone on her and is using it. Try and talk to her about what the problem is. Offer to talk to her parents if that will help her out. If not, just be there for her and try to help her in any way you can. That's what best friends are for. :) Good luck.

Hi, I'm going to high school this year and I want to make a splash. I have changed a lot over the summer to more of a fun-loving and more confident person. I just got a great haircut, but I want some advice on clothes that I can wear that aren't too expensive and are modest (also, any ideas of stores that have good clothes, but not too expensive). I'm 15/f, blue eyes, blonde hair (shoulder length and layered) I am 5'3 and I weigh 105 pounds, so I have a thin frame. Any advice would be great! (link)
|
I'm not sure where you live, but here in St. Louis there is a place called "Plato's Closet" that sells name brand (gently used) clothes. They only have the most stylish/"in" clothing, so it's definitely a great place to shop. If that doesn't work, you can try thrift stores and retail shops. Usually thrift stores won't have anything but if they have some jeans you can cut holes in that will be a great project. Retail shops always have "in" clothes. Search google for your area, look in the newspaper, and ask friends where they're getting their clothes this year.
Good luck with the new school year and the new look. It's always fun to go back and have TONS of compliments!

Tonight my dad mistakenly caught part of the family garden on fire. Does it have a chance of coming back. If so, how do I take care of them(cucumbers, shuck peas, and watermelon). If you don't know don't answer. Also please try to use correct grammer or I'll mark low. If you tried then its fine.
No hard feelings

Using a tiller and/or replacing the soil with fresh soil will help. Also as far as taking care of the vegetables it would be the same as you had been doing before. Good luck. :)

hey guyss
so i have exactly 10 days to loose as much weight as possible and tone up my stomach
im meeting my boyfriends friends and we're all hanging out at this theme park where we're prolly going to hang out at the water park for most of the time and i need to lessen all this flubber by then!
if it helps... im 16 and im 5'' yes im pretty short lol
and i weigh 107 lbs...soo any advice on this would be great...thanks so mucch (link)
|
10 days isn't long enough to do much. There's this juice that is supposed to be a 72 hour miracle diet and help you lose up to 10 pounds. It's really nasty and that's all you can have for 72 hours, but it supposedly works. You can buy it at Wal-Mart. It's a nasty orange color.
Also try not to diet or starve yourself too much because your body will go into "starvation" mode and you will actually gain some weight, and retain water.. which will make you look bigger.
If it helps, I think you're a healthy weight.
Good luck.

i need to lose weight but i dont want to invole any one and i would like to keep it fairly private from my friends and family. any suggestions? they would be LOVED (link)
|
It's kind of hard to keep it private if you start eating healthier foods and stuff, but I would just try to avoid soda at all costs. I can't tell you how important that is. I know when my mom stopped drinking soda and replaced it with 8 glasses of water a day, she lost 15 pounds really fast. Soda has SO many calories in it.
Also, eating fruit instead of chocolate isn't something that people will freak out about. Just snack on a banana or a peach, and you'll get a little sugar-taste fix but won't be going all "health nut", so hopefully nobody will notice.
Exercising is something you can do in the privacy of your own room, so that's a good thing. Doing situps, pushups, etc. will help tone you. Use something heavy (like a sand-filled balloon, weighing a few pounds) and do arm curls or arm lifts. Look up different exercises on google, and just improvise. Doing wall-sits hurts soooo bad but you wouldn't believe the results. They do amazing things for your body.
I hope this helps, and I hope you get the results you want. Walk as much as possible. Take the stairs. Avoid sugar if you can! And last but not least remember to drink lots of water. It helps SO much.

My dog just got put down. I miss her so much, how do I learn to forget about her? (link)
| |
You don't have to forget about her. If you have any pictures of her, make a scrapbook. Or maybe just a page with her pictures to hang up on your wall so she is never forgotten. Make a little memorial for her on your dresser with a dog toy that looks like her or even her picture in a frame you make. Pets are like part of the family and when you lose one, it's really hard. Forgetting isn't the key. Just remember she's in a better place now that she isn't suffering. The key is to always remember the good times you had together.

Ok...I have this issue...I am SOOOO bored... I mean..I am basically a loner so I dont go anywhere...now I am dog sitting so if i do go somewhere I have to take hte puppy with me...I just got a new cell fone but ive already explored it to the fullest and i have nothing to do. I cleaned my house yesterday and I am dead sick of the computer...does anyone have anything on ideas of what I can do...??? Plz help! (link)
|
When I'm bored, I write. There are pen pal websites where you can get email pen pals or snail mail pen pals. I know writing letters and actually mailing them takes some time, and it helps you vent if you need to. Try doing those things.
If that doesn't work, you can always exercise.. watch TV.. or eat.. lol.
www.penpalsnow.com I think is what it is. :) Also if you type in "snail mail pen pals" or just "pen pals" in google you'll get quite a few sites.

Hey everyone.
I recently met a really great guy named Collin about a week ago. Ever since we met, we've hung out together 2 times. He seems amazing & we talk on the phone every night. Problem is he's 23 years old & I'm 16. I know, I know - big problem. It sucks. I never thought my parents would ever make such a big deal out of something, especially age - since they started dating when my dad was 21 & my mom was 16.
Everyone in my family thinks it's a HORRIBLE idea. They all tell me it makes them feel sick that he's even wanting to be around people my age. He's in college & he's an all-around great guy that just seems to be interested in me. We're great when we're together & we don't push things on each other. It's just like a relationship where we have mutual feelings.
I have no idea where to go from this point on. Both of my parents said they don't want me to see him anymore. [I never in a million years thought they would EVER tell me I couldn't see someone.] I know if I sit down & talk to them, and try and change their minds, they may. I just have no idea what to say.
My eldest sister, whose 29 years old is super close to my parents, so she's of course giving her opinions on the situation, and they're all bad, like "She shouldn't see him!" & "I don't want to meet him - he's not coming to my wedding!" & all of those negative things.
Please help.
Although I will want to hear all of the reasons why I shouldn't continue a relationship, please give me some ideas to where I could continue it. I don't think I could end it right now, it just seems way too much for me.
Thanks in advance. (link)
|
I know you don't want to hear this, but guys his age only want sex. There is something wrong with him if he's wanting to date a 16 year old. He's in college with tons of hot college girls (his age, at that!) and is going with a 16 year old. Honestly, something's wrong there. And I'm not saying you're not pretty or whatever but you are 16. He shouldn't even be interested in the same things you are.
Also, your parents are right about this. I hate to say it. I hate it when my parents are right. But they are.
Oh, and one more thing .. you've only known him for a week. There's no way you are on a "relationship level" yet. He might want you to think that, but it's not there. He might want you to think there's no pressure, but it'll show up soon enough.
I would take a step back. Tell him your parents don't approve, and you'd like to work on a friendship and get to know each other better so you can present a better case to your parents as to why you guys are good together.
Good luck, and remember there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

I'm thirteen and I am 5'4", and i weigh 100 lbs. I used to be really thin with a nice, flat stomache, and i only weighed 87 lbs. I think the reason I weigh more now is because this year was kind of rocky so I started eating more and mroe junk food to get my mind off of it. I'm much happier now, but I can't get my body to resist the cravings for junk food 24/7. Please give me advice on how to stop junk food cravings. (link)
|
Sometimes if you eat fruit it will get rid of the craving. It has a sugary taste so it helps. And keep junk food out of sight (out of sight, out of mind). Don't have a bag of Doritos and a candybar stashed in your room or you're going to eat it. :)
Also, the more sweets/junk you give your body - the more it's going to want. So cut soda out completely if you can. If you can't, then cut back to one can a day or to diet. I think 100 pounds is a great weight and you should try and be happy with your body no matter what weight you are at. :)
Good luck.

I have dirty blonde hair that falls a little past my shoulders. It's naturally wavy & frizzy. I straighten it with an iron, but in a matter of minutes it goes wavy and frizzy! I've tried different conditioners and frizz control products. I really want my hair to be touchable soft too, because it sometimes feels like straw after I straighten it. Any tips or products you suggest will be appreciated. (link)
| |
A straightening iron is going to do that to your hair.. Use leave-in conditioner and don't straighten it as often. Good luck.

wat is stds and how you get it (link)
|
Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
You can get them from oral sex, as well as actual intercourse.
If you want more information on a specific STD, google it. They have lots and lots of information on them.
If you want to see if you have one, go to the health clinic. They offer free tests.
Good luck.

I just dyed my hair a dark red/burgundy color and I really like it. How can I make it last as long as possible before having to color it again? Any tips or advice much appreciated!! (link)

Use Color Vive shampoo. It comes in red, and helps keep the red tones. Good luck.

I'm sorry he took advantage of you in this way. Don't get drunk anymore... that'll solve your problems for a while. Take a pregnancy test if you miss your period.
