I'm a really late developer, so I'm still the shortest one in my grade; my voice is very soprano; and it just doesn't seem like I've been going through puberty yet. But I have, because I love this one girl. School starts in under a week, how can I make it look like I've been going through changes, like I'm taller, stronger, and have a deeper voice? Thanks!

You're still only 13. girls mature and go through puberty much more early than guys. So right now, you're just where you need to be. Theres no way that you can fake being tall unless you wear platform shoes. (but don't wear those b/c then im almost positive that u would get picked on)And theres also no way to fake being strong. You just need to work out. You don't have to join a gym or anything, just life some weights everyday. And if you think that having a deeper voice will make this girl like you more, then just talk a little bit deeper. Now, just to let you know, being tall, or strong, or even having a deeper voice shouldn't matter. This girl shouldn't care about your appearence. All that matters is your personality. And if she doesn't like that, then forget about her b/c shes just not worth it b/c thats just being immature. Trust me, I would know. I'm a girl, and just 2 years older than you. I've been through all this before. Middle School is the hardest time of your life. Just be yourself and good luck!


I live in an apartment with my mom. We want to get a cat and the landlady said we can if it doesn't have any claws. We aren't sure if thats ok to do to a cat. I no one other person who has a cat like this and the cat seems happy. What do you think? (link)
declaw him/her. it would make life so much easier. think about it. you won't get all scratched up, the furniture won't get all scratched up...it would be great! and declaw him/her with he/she is a kitten b/c if he/she grows up without claws then the cat will find alternitive ways to do things. but if you wait to declaw him/her until he/she is a ful grown cat, he/she might just think that he/she can't do nething without his/her claws and become lazy and not want to play... Trust me, i've had experiance with this... i would know.


Do you think its okay to teach your child to hit someone back if they hit him first? (link)
no way ever! b/c that makes the child believe that its ok to be aggressive. Not only play aggressivness but real life too. You're basically tellin' the poor child to be a bully and get into truble. Just tell the kid to say to the bully "i don't like being hit. it hurts me and my feelings." and if you think that that may make your kid seem like a softy then you're obviuslly thinking too highly of him/her. its just a child. and if the bully proceeds to hit your kid. Personally have a chat with your kids teacher and the bully's parents.


I am babysitting for this wild kid on Friday evening. He is a good boy age 7. BUT, he is everywhere at once! Any ideas on what kind of calming things I can do to entertain him so he isn't running through the house like a little maniac? I can just see him falling into sharp corners and things! (link)
Play games that have strict rules, like hide and go seek (but really you have to go find him), mother/father may i?, red-light green-light, you can even create games. It actually turns out to be really fun once he gets into it. and then he'll think that you're cooler and he'll tell his parents that so they'll think that you're a great babysitter and they'll call you for more jobs. And even if you absolutly HATE this kid, just accept the jobs b/c hey, your not in this to make friends with the kid, youre there for the money. By the way. The LEAST that you should be getting paid is 5 bucks...no lower and no higher than 8 bucks. Good Luck!


My boyfriend wants to have sex. I think I love him, but I just don't feel ready yet. How can I tell him and not lose him? (link)
Sex is a sacred thing. it should be kept between a husband and wife. That's my personal oppinion. Does this boy truely love you? or is it just mere puppy love middle school crush kinda thing? You have to learn to be able to answer this question for your self. but there is ONE, QUICK, and EASY way to find out. Just tell him the truth. Say "(his name), i think i'm in love with you, but i'm just not ready to make a big commintment like this to you right now. I'm just not comfortable with sex now. And if you truley love me, then you'd understand." And if he does love you, he'll wait. I believe sex should be saved for marriage, but if you feel otherwise, just make sure that you're protected (by using birth control) and he's also protected (by using a condom) Best of luck to ya!
