I had braces a few years ago and I totally remember the pain. The only thing I recommend is just some pain killers like aleve, tylenol, aspirin, etc. That's all that really helped for me and it will be temporarily relieved but just keep taking those as you need them. I hope this helps!

I definitely recommend opening a savings account. It will help you to save the money and you won't be tempted to buy anything since you won't have to see the money. I hope this helps and good luck!
Crystal

I don't have one but my little sister has one and I think they are just awesome. Everybody should get one.
Crystal

Well, the people that told you that it can is right. In fact, when I became sexually active a long time ago my period would be as late as 2 weeks maybe a little more. I hope this helps!
Crystal

I completely agree with you. I'm not sure if there is a way to stop them but I would think that moderators would do something about it. These people definitely should be banned though.
Crystal

I think, if you can hate the guy, then don't go for him. Wait until you find the right person. I hope this helps!
Crystal

Well, I think you should see where life takes you. Don't just forget about what you love. Totally go for it!!! I mean, honestly, sometimes life doesn't go the way you want it to but you just have to take your chances. If you're out on your own and your parents don't agree with what you are doing then that's their problem. It doesn't mean they won't love you but you have to make your own decisions especially when you're out on your own. I hope this helps and good luck!

If he turns 18 and you're still 17 that is not illegal. If you were 15 or 16 and he was 18 that would probably be a different situation actually. My husband at the time I was dating him was 18 when I was 17 and it was not illegal so you have nothing to worry about. I hope this helps!
Crystal

There is no certain age to have sex but I recommend you wait until at least when you're married. I had sex when I was 17. I married the person I had sex with but I wish I would have waited until we were married because it wasn't as special on our wedding night. I hope this helps!

Well, first off, you should watch your calorie intake. Don't eat past 7pm and if you need snacks then eat fruits and veggies. Secondly, you need to get exercise. I recommen walking in your neighborhood for at least 30 minutes a day. Also, you should do leg lifts, arm curls and crunches or situps. For leg lifts, you just lay on one side and bring your leg up and down. I recommend starting out with 30 on each leg but if you can do more then great! For arm curls, if you have small weights this will help but you bring your arms down in front of you and keeping your elbows still you bring the weights up to your chest and back down. I recommend doing at least 50 on each arm. One last thing, you should stretch before going to bed. It may help you to sleep better and you burn fat while sleeping. I hope this helps and good luck!

Well, to me, it sounds like if anything you're underweight but I don't think you have anything to worry about. Being as tall as you are, 137 is not bad at all. I hope this helps!
Crystal

Yeah, he'll be able to tell that you're not a virgin so you should just have a talk with him and let him know. I hope this helps and good luck!
Crystal

Well, honestly, it sounds like if they can't tell you who told them and what not maybe it's not true and they are just being jerks. I wouldn't put up with that at all! If they want to play immature games with you then I don't think you need them. I know they are your best friends and it would be hard to get rid of them but let them come to you to be a friend. If you keep going to them then they are just going to walk all over you so I say just ignore them and when they are done playing their games then they will come around. I hope this helps and good luck!

This just means you're about to get your period so you have nothing to worry about. There really isn't anything you can do for it. I hope this helps!
Crystal

I highly recommend Old Navy. They have the best clothes. I shop there all the time. I hope this helps!
Crystal

I always recommend Petco. They have everything for dogs. I hope this helps!
Crystal

I recommend trying the babysitting job. If that doesn't work try maybe doing yard work for some people in your neighborhood or ask your parents what you can do. I hope this helps and good luck!
