How old do you have to be to buy weight loss pills? And does anyone have any suggestions of good ones that work well? (link)
You have to be at least 18 I believe. Or I would've bought it long time ago XD. And it's sad to say, most of them will probably work well, at the beginning. But as soon as you stop, or your tolerence to whatever its content is (such as Ephedra), you will most likely to gain back the weight, or even more so than when you started out. But yeah, its 18, unless its one of those herbal pill sort of thing where you can buy from like some stand. Not from store. I bought this "herbal" kind of pill, they worked... But I did gain back the weight and such.


How?
i want to be a better flirt, and i want to know how, what to do, and sont tell me be yourself cause im already doing that and its kinda working but i need bigger and better.
please and thank you (link)
I had the same question!! So i went out and found this cool site.

http://www.myjellybean.com/flirt/flirt.html

After reading those, here's my bit of advice. Nothing will work unless you smile and make eye contact. That shows the genuinity of the whole deal and you will be able to catch eyes from people who are bit far away from your distance.


how can i lose 5-10 inches off my waist in about a month with out pills? i have a membership to a gym and iv been trying to stick to my diet. (link)
Exercising and going to gym definetly helps out, if you stick to it, as to your diet. It tones out your body as whole, however if you are looking for more toned waist/ab area, then I'd definetly recommend you sit ups. I noticed (from my own experience) the change in less than a week. Sit up is really just targetting that area and you dont need any special equipment for it neither.

If you are good at sit up, then I'd recommend you to do 200 per day, however if you are not, then you can start as low as 10. That's how I started out because I could only do 1, yes one, sit ups before, however now I shoot up to 200, and 250 sometimes.

It's all in the perserverence. You can start increasing little by little, but don't push too far. Just keep increasing until you reach around 200. Then you can do 200 all the way or you can divide that up like 50 in the morning, 50 in the afternoon, and 100 night or so.

And even after you are getting better with that, then add some weight by holding on to dumbell while doing situps. Like holding near your chest as you rise up for the situp.

Hope this helped


Does anyone know of any good quote sites. Not just random or lovey-dovey cheesy quotes but like, hollywood, girly, quotes? You're much appreciated. (link)
iconator.com

(its not really quotes all the time but there's like away message thing and many/most of them are quotes)


15/f freshman
there's this kid in 2 of my classes & i kinda like him, but i dont kno if it's a fully developed crush yet as weird as that sounds.
i'm superrrrr shy. i don't talk a lot in class/participate, and talking to new people and especially guys is so hard. it's not as much worrying what people are going to think of me after i say something, but i just don't know what to say. (around my friends/family, i'm completely talkative) so anyway...
he knows who i am which is a start haha. (if this means anything: my friend went to florida for a band trip and she was texting me and all the people she was with were like who are you texting? and she said my name, and this kid i like asked if it was me [said my first and last name] :) so he knows who i am. plus this same friend IMed him on my sn, and he knew who i was then too. and i added him on myspace and he added back. so i have all this forms of communication with him, but i feel SOOO weird just talking to him. i don't know what to say. and i'll feel so stupid. like on myspace, he has all these comments from all these other girls (he's not super popular, but he talks to some people who are..he's also in marching band tho lol) so i'd feel so weird if i randomly comment him. what should i do?!?! my friend isn't always here to IM him for me, lol. thanksss! (link)
Ha its okay I had to go through the similar stuff. Except mine was worser condition because I have never saw him in my school, later to find out he is home schooled. So only time I saw him was when he was working. Anywho, what i would suggest for you to do is to talk to him in person. I know it might sound hard because I can get very shy and that is one of the hard thing to do HOWEVER, if you dont get over your fear, you might end up like some people who only communicate through online and never even talk in person. How awkward is that?

So I would suggest for you to say hi to him but if it's bit hard, I have a planned out something for you... ( dont have to follow, this is just a mere suggestion XD)

Cmnt him... something like...

"hey wuts up? I havent seen you around school in a while... ya know what? i;ll say hi to you next time i see you"

then when you see him say..."Hey _____(fill in his name) hm... told ya i'd say hi..."

then casually ask him about band competition or whatever...


im confuse i like this boy alot and i mean alot and every time i see him in the hallways my whole body just heat up and i feel so wierd at times. And i think about him everyday and he has a myspace and i go on it and look at his profile everyday. and when i see him with another girl i get jealous real easy even though we dont go out. i dont know if its a crush or is it realy love because i dream about him and daydream about him everyday and i even made wedding plans huh call me crazy. so plz what is this that im feeling. (link)
Aww its okay i've gone through same. I asked the same question but it's not love. It's Infatuation. It's something that I believe every relationship starts out with. You must have to be attracted to them in order for you to get to know them and find out their real side. Then you find out more about them and you will love who they are as well as their faults but you accept their faults and thats when you know when you are in love.


My bf told my friend that he was gonna kiss me tomarrow!!! I am excited, but scared cuz this is my first time. I don't want to make out with him, but i do want it to be hot and romantic lol well anyways i could use all the tips i can get (it will come naturally doesnt help) Also we are going out with a group of people. How can we get away from the crowd to kiss. Also I want to hold his hand, but I want it to look casual. How can I just hold his hand without like grabbing his hand. P.S. We are going to see a friends hockey game.

Thanks for your help :)
(link)
Ha yeah i know what you mean, I was wondering about the same question before my first kiss and all people would say is..."dont worry too much, its a natural thing."

yeah like that helped... So here's what you do, you don't probably want to make out because that might seem too forward, or whatever. So just look into his eyes, and he will look back... Getting closer now. Slowly close your eyes... so will he. Then just like your lips touch.

Thats about it. No more big deal than that.

As to holding hands, that is a tricky one. I have noticed that guys are bit afraid to hold girls hand if they are bit shy because they dont know how the girl would react. So here's what you do. You are walking alone side by side. Gently brush against his hand with yours. Or just you know how you like whole bunch of girls walk together? like having their arms locked? like casually???

well do that... just like poke your arm through his arm and lock it kind of thing... Playfully... then slowly move in clsoer to his hand. That works EVERYTIME for me :D

hope this helped :D


I am a 14 year old female and I am going on vacation in less than a month and I want to look good in my bathing suit. Does anyone have some tips for losiing weight without using pills? And a quick one too. (link)
Hmm... First of all, the first person that answered you was basically summarizing (very very shortly) about what South Beach Diet is. I know this so well because I read the whole book, even though I did not participate in the diet. Due to my mom's concern. because she thought I was too young for it to cut out all the Grains in my diet and etc.

Anyways now that's answered, for best body toning exercise would be Pilates. That works out your body as whole so you would have generally toned body. Also they dont create those bulky guy like muscles that girls find big gross. Pilate is generally the mix of Yoga and Aerobic but it's lot better in my opinion.

It works out your whole body and burns fat while toning it as well. You can find those pretty much anywhere as well. Wal mart, Internet, etc. I would recommend for you to go to wal mart and just buy a video or dvd because they will run about 25-45 minutes. Which is a good exercising time.

Also if you are looking for some toned abs, definetly do sit ups. About 200 per day is good but that is only when you are comfortable doing them. Start out with 10 if you must. Then increase it by 50 and so on.

Also you can do them by reps. Like do 50 in the morning. 50 in the afternoon like after school. and 100 at night. or something like that.

Hope this helped!


On myspace, people will have 3 letters after there display name. Like, a group of 5 or 6 or whatever people will have it.. and they'll be friends, so they obviously make it up together. Like, one of my friends has "moG" and another has "JOI" and stuff like that... i don't understand? what is it? (link)
It depends because so many people use that stuff these days... you are talking about one of these things im assuming [TOC] (that TOC was just an example by the way but with that bracket thing or with {} these)

Well if its just friend things, it can mean so many different things. Such as their inside joke abbreviated. Or their crush's name or whatever. Its just an abbreviation of their inside thing.

However lot of people who are on Myspace train have that. In fact they have them by over half a dozen. It is also an abbreviation but an abbreviation to their "Train Name"

such as The Beautiful People Train... They had BPT for their abbreviation. SOme train make it Must To, as in you have to have that in your name if you are on the train.

Or it can just well mean the Initials of their Crush. :D

Hope it helped


Hi! :D im hailey, and im 15. (freshman) and i like this boy in 10th grade, he likes me back and we are sapposed to go to the movies this weekend. I am realllly sickk with this really gross virus =/ and i've missed 3 days of school this week.. i rdont wanna cancel because i REALLY like him and i dont want him to get discouraged or go and find someone else.. is there a posableity (sp?) that he coudl move on and find someone else over the weekend while im sick? i know im rpbabaly over reacting but i'm jsut owndering. your honesty is REALLY appreciated, no offence will be taken from ANy answers1 thanks soooo much =)) (link)
No need to worry about overreacting because there are lot of girls out there who would wonder about the same thing. I for one know that oh so well because I over react to so many things :D

And no I strongly doubt that he will move on in that short amount of time. Besides like what others said, he won't move on if he really liked you. Besides it wasnt like a serious serious meeting for a serious date so don't take it too seriously. He should understand how you are and what condition you are in. Maybe it will make you even more intriguing because guys are kind of weird like that :D

hope this helped and get well soon!

PS you can call him personally and tell him that you would much like to reset the date as soon as you feel better.


I love my boy friend tons and he told me that he has strong feelings for me i wanna kiss him but i'm afraid of what my parents and friends would say.

My friends would probably say i'm a slut but i am worried about my parents as it would be my first kiss

I really need help (link)
Wow, how old are you to be called such a strong word like slut to kiss your own boyfriend? Frankly, i believe that is your own choice when you think its right so I would most likely say go for it. However if you are afraid that others will mock you in such a vulger way, then you dont have to tell them you know?

Find some private places and keep your mouth sealed. Kissing is a wonderful thing to do to express the likeness for one another. nothing to be ashamed of.



Do you know any other columnist here that are Asian I know there's another one. Anyways I was just wondering. It's good to know if you can tell me the name of that other Asian columnist. (link)
I am sorry :D I was actually surprised to find you, im assuming you are the one posted about that picture and i said "Oh wow you are korean too!!!" If not.. then wow i feel awkward but no i don't and yeah it would be definetly good and awesome to know other Asian columnist. Sorry couldnt help you out there. Hmm maybe ill just post a question about that XD


My stomach is fat. im a skinny person but I have so much fat on my stomach its not even funny. You can see it through my shirt.
What can I do? my mom said sit ups DON'T help.

13/f. HELP! (link)
First of all, sit ups DO help :D not trying to go against your mother or anything but I have been into exercises for over 2 years and Sit Up is one of the best way to reduce the fat around your stomach. I have seen result on my own body in less than a week. REsult that is noticable. I dont know if it's just me because I developed this thing where I just know so accurately even if I lost or gained little weight however the point is, it will work if you do it right as mentioned below from others.

You need to eat a healthy diet because sit ups use lot of muscle around your abdominal area and quadriceps. Also eating whole bunch just stretches out your stomach so it is very hard to reduce the size of it in the long run.

So if you think you are not eating healthy or eating lot of amount you have to tie down and start doing that right. Eat the right portion. If you are doing that right, then you are half way there.

Second step is to know your limits. Don't kill yourself from doing that because it can hurt your back if you do it too far as well as knock the wind out of you almost (from personal experience). If you are new at it, start off slow by doing 25-30 or even 10 if you are not so great at it. I had to start from 1 because I was out of shape 2 years ago. Then gradually increase the amount by week. Or even days if you feel like you are up for it.

Then slowly increase it up to 200 sit ups. I know it sounds a lot so you can divide that up to 4 sets of 50 sit ups.

Also when you get good at that, add some weight by using 3 pound dumbell on each side of your hand. Or exercise ball things.

hope this helped :D



does anyone know of a place that would hire me, i'll be turning 15 within a month and a lot of places only hire people who are older, does anyone know of someplaces that hire 15 year olds? (link)
Grocery stores as cashier. I believe that is the one of the easiest job to get for your age because you know lot of places require minimum age of 16 or 18. So hope this helped :D


i hate it and how can i look better to make guys like me i have acne but ive been using face wash everyday and i hate when people walk up to me and say get pro active and laugh well my acne is not that but i think im pretty sometimes but i was going out with a hott guy but idk i need help to get a bf because i really want one and i want to be popular how do you get to be popular im trying to like tell people that you dont have to be perfect to be popular but how do you???? (link)
Yeah I hate that too but thats what rouse up the Infatuation however not all guys are like that GLADLY!!!

But ya know im not gonna go against you by saying, just be yourself because obviously thats not what you are asking :D

To get a guys to notice you is...(these are all from guys actually because I just recently asked all my guy friends what they notice in girls :D cuz i was so curious as to what those were as well )

-Smile... I know very cliche but seriously, if they don't see you smile and having a good time of whatever you are doing, then they might think you are too serious and/or think you are intimidating... (i kind of learned that the hard way XD) so smile if you catch a guy's eye. I know it might be little bit awkward or bit downer if they look away, but its likely they do that because they get shy as well.

-Smell... I know lol but that is one of the factor that I've been told. If you walk by a guy and you have some pretty smelling body spray or perfume, it will leave some impression on a guy

-clothes. That is very varied factor because they way you dress will catch different types of guys. I know people are saying no sterotyping and et cetera but seriously think about it. Would guys that are into sports(aka "jocks") and what not go for a girl who is in full out black(aka "goths")?

But that as well have exceptions. Just dress nicely, not all body revealing and you will meet some good guys. Wear clothes that are flattering to you and your body type and something that expresses you. Dont go buying whatever is in style or nothing because that brings guy to think you are materialistic

Hope this helped and lemme know if you need more help :D


I’m 14 and I’m really pissed because I have next to no decent clothes. I’m not exactly wealthy, but my family’s *far* from being poor. Okay, I have about 8 blouses that I’ve collected through the years, two skirts and two pairs of jeans that fit, and that’s it. My mom grew up in a really poor part of Asia and immigrated here about 15 years ago, but even still, she has no idea what teenage girls are like. I asked her to let me get a nice pair of shorts from American Eagle (which was $40) and she got really mad and gave me this lecture about how I should be thankful that I have any clothes at all because when she grew up, she only had, like, two pairs of cotton pants throughout most of her childhood, and how she breaks her back trying to support our family and I’m just being a greedy spoiled brat. She refuses to buy me any article of clothing over $30. What makes me even more mad is that she still buys $50 worth of earrings for herself (she gets loads of really cheap jewelry on those TV jewelry channels) when she doesn’t NEED any new jewelry, yet she won’t let me buy a $40 pair of shorts.

The worst part about all this is the other kids at school. I go to one of those expensive private schools and all of the other girls at my school who have entire wardrobes filled with those fancy designer clothes from stores like Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, etc. I feel really ashamed next to everyone else because I don’t have many nice clothes at all. While all of these girls make monthly shopping sprees, I’m allowed two shopping trips a year. But even during these shopping trips, I can hardly find anything under $30 because nothing ever fits. Seriously, I’m way too skinny….my waistline is like, 22 inches and my hips are 27 inches. No, I’m not anorexic, it’s just the way I am. I don’t need any eating advice or anything, because there’s no way I’m going to diet and put on weight just to wear clothes. My pants size is 00 and my shirt size is XXS, and the only stores that carry anything flattering for really skinny people in those sizes are the expensive places, like Abercrombie. I would’ve ordered things online, but my mom doesn’t believe in shopping online-----she’s afraid someone will steal her credit card number.

I know this question might make me seem whiny and ungrateful and vain and spoiled because there are people dying in Darfur and I’m concerned about a pair of shorts, but still, it really makes me feel bad that I’m the only person in
What should I do about this? I tried talking to my dad, but he won’t make her understand. She’s got a one-track mind.

Hey dont worry about it I go through same stuff. My parents are also from Asia so ha I know the same old lecture about all that stuff :D

It's pretty impossible to convince moms to let you buy clothes like that unless you go to mall with your friends and you just buy the clothes with your own money and tell her you bought it off sale rack or something (which works quite well if you have a good money saved and have good relationships with your friend's parent which will be source of your ride XD)

or you can literally buy the clothes when they are on sale. Shirts that are usually 30 dollars goes down to 15 dollars or so in Aeropostale and AEO. Hollister as well.

Or you can go to outlet stores like Ross Dress for less, Bells Outlet.

Hope this helped and good luck!!


14/f 152 pounds.

this past week iv been going to the gym everyday and dieting. i really want to lose up to 10 or more pounds by april 17, im going to florida and i want to look good in a bathin suit. Eveyone tells me im not fat at all and i dont need to go on a diet, even my mom has been telling me that. I think im pretty advage and i know im not REALLY fat but i do have some fat on me. Im very athletic, i play soccer and basketball and i guess im a little muscular thats why i weight a lot (muscle weights more than fat), im in pretty good shape but i have some fat on me that i want to get rid of by the middle of april. What are some excersices that i could to to work my stomich and possible get abs? or just lose my fat. (link)
Like what people below has mentioned, sit up is very good. If you are athletic, i recommend you to do at least 200 sit ups per day. You can do them by dividing them like 50 in the morning, 50 during the day, 100 at night or something like that. or 200 straight out if you are up for it. Just don't push yourself too far, because 200 was just the recommendation, but you can start out like 50 then increase to 100 then you know the pattern. Also i would advice you to get one of those exercise balls that are not too heavy in weight or if not, get some 3 pound dumbells and have them on your hand when you are doing sit ups.

Also pilate's help lose fat and tone up so its really good and very easy to find those pilate exercise tapes and dvds.

So i hope this helped and good luck!


There is this guy who I'm pretty sure likes me,
but the thing is, I really LIKE him.
He makes me nervous and in a good way.

I usually know what to say, and am a veryopen person to people, but not him.

How can I show him I like him without flat out saying it? (link)
Wow I am the same way. I am usually really outgoing and stuff except for when it comes to a guy that i happen to like XD. But dont worry, there are lot of ways you can do...

1. you can tell his friend that you find him cute or etc. In that case his friend might slip to him like "hey ya know that girl? i think she's diggin' ya..." or etc something like that XD

2. smile and compliment GENUINELY...

3. flirt, but not over doing it

4. This might be bit bold but saying "hey ya know what? i think im kind of falling for you... *big smile*" Because its not saying you LIKE LIKE LIKE him but its giving off a very strong hint that you might grow to like him and etc...

5. be interested in him. Lot of guys find that and take that as if girls like him. Because otherwise they wouldnt be paying attention to them. So be interested in what he do and what he likes.

Hope this helped and good luck~!

my boyfriend asked me to senior ball and everyone like freak dances and i've never been to a dance cus im a freshman.. so i was wondering if anyone could help me out?? thanks guys (link)
I had similar problem. I never had danced like that before when I went to my homecoming in my freshmen year. So this is what i did...

1. Watched and observe how other people danced
2. Waited till lot of people were dancing
3. talk to other friends in advance about dancing if possible

It kind of came naturally to me because when everyone's dancing and you are just having a good time, it will just come like it was in you :D


lately i've been thinking about killing myself.ive been crying myself to sleep alot lately and last night i even went in my room and locked the door and started looking for scissors to cut myself with.its a good thing that there wernt any in my room,or i would have cut my wrists and killed myself.it just seems like no1 cares about me anymore and like everything bad that happens is my fault. and my brothers and friends are not helping right now, the reason i went in my room last night was because my brother changed the time on the oven,i was cooking a pizza at 400degrees and he changed it to 450 degrees. i've been getting mad like that , over stupid litl things for like a monthh now, and if it doesn;t stop im afraid im gonna get so mad and sad that im actually gonna kill myself,and since im a christian,i know its wrong but i just cannt help it. i really want to become happy again, and stop thinking about killing myself.how can i do it? (link)
Wow I had the exact same problem. I can't be a doctor and diagnose you with depression, but I've read enough informations books about it that I can almost assume that it might be it. It is the one of the leading problems that people face so what I would advice you to do is, find someone you can really trust and maybe they can help you. I know its hard because no one can't help their own sadness, but you can't be happy as you want to be without taking a little risk. And you cant start healing unless you know what the problem is so I really hope you can seek out for someone trustful and get help because I would not want anyone to feel like that when I know how it feels like as well.

:D
