about

my name is hannah! i'm a sophomore and i love life. i'll give you the best advice i can give.

advice

My names Emily, and me and my friend, Katie are worried about my friend Lila. Shes been hanging out with this girl named Grace, who isnt a good influence and has bad reputation for doing things with guys that she deffinatly shouldnt be doing at our age.
She's becoming a bad influence on Lila. Lila's been going way too far with her boyfriend lately....and sending pictures to random guys. Theres even a video going around about Lila doing some things that she shouldnt be doing. She's starting to get a bad reputation. I dont want her to have a bad reputation, and also her reputation is starting to rub off on me. And everyone at the highschool knows her for her pictures and videos. Since we are starting highschool next year, i dont want to have a bad reputation because i hang out with her. Shes still my best friend though and i dont know what to do. Please help! Please e-mail me back as soon as possible. Thanks so much.

i'd try explaining to her that you are worried about her. tell her it's ruining her reputation too. Soon guys are just going to think she is easy and she'll never be able to find a decent boyfriend who doesn't want her for one thing. also if those videos and pictures are on the internet tell her she needs to take them off. there are so many perves on the net. also rape and sexual harassment could happen to her.

so just try talking to her about how you feel =]

i hope i helped out some :D

I am finally getting a job, so when I told my parents about how I won't need their money to go the mall anymore I felt mature and glad I wasen't going to have to keep asking them from cash. Well, in the middle of the conversation my mom was like "You do know that you are putting a third in the bank and giving a third to us right?" I couldn't believe that I have to pay them my money. My dad was like "Well what about our hard earned money? We give it to you two (my sister and I) all the time. Besides the family needs it." Um hello, isn't that what you two are for? My mom thinks since I have a job I have to pay "room and board" WTH?! Are my parents being unreasonably rediculous here???
(Keep in mind I'm earning minimum wage here, so saving up for anything now is foolish)

okay the person that first answered is kinda right. but parents are SUPPOSED to do that. they are parents they should be taking care of you and buying you food and clothes, etc. i think it's absolute crap you have to do that..
but that's just my oppinion. i'd try talking to them more about it..

Ughhh! I am 14 and still, no period.
I have discharge, and pubic hair, and all the signs.
Last month the only one of my friends who still didn't have a period, got hers. Im pretty much the only girl in the grade without it.
Well my question is: Are there any other signs of when I will get it, besides the basic ones?
And Please do not tell me I am lucky I don't have it. Because I want it. And when do YOU think ill get it? ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED!!

Thanks!! :)

nobody can tell you when you'll get your period. everyone is different, some it takes up to 16 years of age. and you have the signs. but i really wouldn't worry about it. i know you didn't want to here this but i'm 14 and i would love to not have it. it smells, makes you moody, conscious about it all the time, and sometimes cramps.

so really don't stress or worry about it. it will eventually come. =]

I neeeeeeed advice fastt!!!
My boyfriend's birthday is less than a week from now (turning 16 years old), & I dont want to get him something like clothes.

I want his present to be special, b/c MY birthday is about a month after his (a little over a month) and he said he's going to make it extra special sooo...

i have asked EVERYONE, and I really haven't heard anything that just...suits me.

also i was thinking about taking him out on the lake in maybe a canoe (sp?) and giving the present to him?

Anyways, I have about 30-50 bucks to spend.
Any suggestions??

Thank youuu. :]

(Why are boys so hard to shop for??)

heres some ideas:

-like a gift basket or like a cute birthday box with a bow full of little things he likes.

-a picnic with all of his favorite food

-if you have many pictures of you guys together you can make a scrap book for him

-If he has always given you flowers before, why don't you return the favor by giving him a dozen red roses? It will make him remember you as the only girl who ever gave him roses for his birthday.

thats all i can think of, hope you liked the ideas. but i also agree with the answer below. and i'm sure he'd like anything you got him =]

good luckkk =]

ahha i know this is early, but I want to get halloween costumes thought up of for well... halloween! i want to do a group costume this year. first of all, im a girl, starting 8th grade this fall. so im gonna get a couple of my girl friends and we'll all dress up as this cute/funny thing. originally i wanted to be the fantanas till I realized that people did it every year. i want to do something that people may not think of. something well like I've said... cute and funny! not something you'd find at partycity perhaps. like maybe something we can make out of clothes and stuff... I dont mind if we have to buy things, but I just want it to be real original and yeah.. give me tons of ideas! da more the merrier!

hmm maybe you could all dress up as a celebrity, like a celebrity themed girl fight. like a few of them with signature looks are paris hilton, britney spears, and linsay lohan.

for paris: To create this celebrity inspired Halloween costume simply wear a pink satin jacket, braid a long blond wig into to braids and drape them over your shoulders. Top the wig off with a trucker hat twisted slightly to the side. You can wear some over sized sunglasses to top it off. Make sure you wear the shortest skirt humanly possible.

for lindsay: You could stick with the original Lindsay Lohan look of jeans, long red hair, trucker hat turned sideways, and some large black sunglasses. Wear a solid colored loose flowing top that cinches at the waist and lots of gold chains. Tuck your jeans into some black boots with three-inch heels and your ready for a little trick or treating. Don’t forget the oversized purse with lots of metal studs all over it.

for britney: she has had so many looks over the years. Lately her look is more white trash, but that just makes her all the more easy to copy for a Halloween costume. For a funny Britney Spears inspired Halloween costume why not dress up as a pregnant Britney in the original Catholic schoolgirl look. That would be hilarious. For a later Britney look wear a white baby doll dress, Uggs, and your hair piled on top of your head in a messy bun. Don’t forget to glue a Starbucks frappachino cup to your hand. ofcourse she's dawned the bald look lately too.

and theres others like nicole richie, jessica simpson, mary kate olsen, etc. and ofcourse all you guys have to put into the cat fight :]


some other ideas

uhm you could dress as celebrity couples also, even though your girls some of you could dress as guys. haha

and power rangers, seven deadly sins, and yeah thats all i can think of.

i hope i helped =]

well I just went to my friend's house, and she has like a lot of things. more things than I do. like we had lots of fun till I had to leave. I mean she had tons of games, movies, her parents were great, she had tons of little things like lots of hats and etc so we dressed up and took pictures, a pet, and a pool! and the next time i want her to visit my house, but we don't have much to do. I mean we could go on the computer, I guess walk around and play in our park for a bit (even though our park isn't that fun since its made mostly for little kids), watch TV (we barely have any cool movies.. I guess I could get some from our library but the good ones always take long to get (long holds). btw we don't rent movies at my house), and other little things which can get boring. our backyard is a garden.. we cant sunbathe or anything cause theres garden snakes (theres no fence so it just leads to the woods) and well.. yeah. we dont have a basketball hoop, and we have a gamecube, and 1 game, but the game is missing and our controllers dont work anymore, really. we're not poor or anything, but we just dont have as many luxuries as my friend does. so when she comes over what fun things could we do? btw sleepovers arent an option, my parents wont let me host them or go to them (sucks, I know.)

13/f

that's basically how it is at my house to. but my best friend and i always have fun. like heres some stuff we do.. okay we make really stupid/funny videos with my digital camera, and we take like tons of pictures [if you don't have a camera, ask her to bring hers.]. i mean that doesn't sound like a lot of fun but ha it is. oh and maybe you could put on some music and just like dance around. uhm maybe your parents will let you go to the movie theater or starbucks [if ones near you], you can meet other people there.

but once you get together it may be boring at first but you guys are best friends, you'll find something fun to do, don't worry. =]

right im in desperate need of help. i cannot sleep and its effecting everything. im always moody because of it and im always getting realy stressed i always feel worn out aswel.
please dont say anything stupid like you dont do enough exercise because i do a hell of alot more then most people i train every night.whenever i feel tired at about 11 o clock i try to go to sleep but then have a massive energy spurt and cant go to sleep till say 6 in the morning. when i do try to go to sleep i cant because my mind just wonders. does anyone have any ideas on hw i cn go to sleep i even went 5 days without sleeping then triied to go to sleep at 11 and that didnt even work please some one help.

i'm not like an expert or anything but maybe when you get tose spurts you could try like sitting down, closing your eyes and take like deep breaths, maybe after that your evergy won't be so high.

or go to a docter, you could possibly have insomnia.

hope i helped =]

I have been dating my girlfriend Caitlyn for two years in October. She is the most amazing girl i have ever met and about 7 months ago i gave her a promise ring and i know Cait is the girl i want to spend the rest of my life with. Sometimes we get into little fights and blow them way out of proportion. About a month ago we had one of these fights and she wouldn't come to a party with me that night. At that party, i got pretty drunk and slept with a girl from another school. I didn't tell her about it and everything seemed like it was fine until this girl i slept with showed up at my baseball game and just so happens to sit down next to Cait and her best friend without knowing it was them. They start talking and pretty soon Becca, the girl from the party, has to go so she asks my girl friend if she could give me a ring back that i had left at her house (the promise rings we gave each other. i guess i left it there that night) of course my girlfriend gets curious why this girl has my ring and so she asks becca about it and she told her the whole thing. After the game Cait brought the ring up to me and said that my "little friend Becca" thought i would want it back and asked her to give it to me. I was totallly shocked and had no idea even what to say. Cait broke it off right then and there. I need to find some way to make it up to her. She is the love of my life and i totally regret what i did but she won't even talk to me which is really awkward since i am at her house all the time since her brothers are my best friends and her dad is my football coach. How can i get her back?

okay it's going to be really hard to get her back. i mean how could you cheat on a person you love? don't blame the alcohol either, it was your choice and your decisions that led to this. you need to think of the most sincere apology a person could think of. then you need to HOPE she'll give you a second chance. you can't balme her if she chooses to move on either. you broke the trust after she gave you the greatest gift of all, her heart.

give her some time too, and don't expect an answer right away.

i don't really know what else to say..hmm maybe stand outside her bedroom window with a huge sign with your deepest most sincere apology on it?

i hope the best for you =]

I am a freshman in highschool this year, and there is the boy (he's a senior) who is obsessed with me! He just moved her from another state, and he sits by me in health. I was flattered at first by all his cheesy lines and sweet compliments, but after mentioning several times that I have a boyfriend and turning down his date offers he won't give up. He even got a copy of my schedual and waits outside all of my classes. I believe he has some slight mental issues, but nothing I know of for sure.


I really don't look forward to health because it gets awkward trying to deal with him. I've attempted over and over again to let him know I have a serious boyfriend and I'm not interested but I'm not sure what else to say =\
Help! I want to be nice.

eh that's really weird.
i'd just say look i'm flattered but i'm in a really serious relationship right now. please lay off k?
say it as soon as you see him.

i mean that is an assertive more nice thing to say. and in the long run nothing is more nice than the truth =]

so school is almost starting and i want to get into better shape. im going to be very busy because i am in the marching band and that is like 24/7 so i dont have a huge option. i want to tone up my stomach...ALOT. and my legs just a tad. im not sure if i have time to go running so i am stuck with a bike that doesnt move and anything i can do in my room.

if i do sit ups or crunches how many should i do a night? school for me starts on the 5th. i want to try to get as much done as i can. im not expecting alot becuase i know it is a short period of time so please do not tell me its hopeless or whatever. how long should i go on that non moving bike thingy? what other stretches?


also is it possible to get rid of cellulite?

okay i'd try like 100 - 200 crunches a day. that'll tone up like your upper stomach. i've heard that sit ups push the fat down to your lower stomaach so to fix that lay on your back and bring your legs up over your stomach [it's like an upside crunch].

for the non moving bike i'd do like 20-30 minutes. since your in marching band your probably already doing a lot of walking/marching.

k and for your thighs. to tone the inside, put your heels together [or close to touching, your feet should be facing outward] and squat down.

to tone the the outside and behind
grab a chair from behind [so the back is facing you] and lift you right leg up as far as you can the your left then right, etc..
also do lunges.


i hope i helped out out! oh and also remember a healthy, balanced diet and drink TONS of water.

15. 5"9 160 pounds

ive been running and exercising for most of the summer for at least 1 hour each day AND i ate NOTHING but healthy foods and drank NOTHING but water, with a treat every weekend or so. but i dont feel or see the weight loss..and this week i was so frustrated with lack of results i just ate everything i saw..and then i went out and bought like 3 jumbo ice creams and ate them all..and then i went to walmart and bought and ate a lot and lot of candy (m&ms mostly, hah) and now i feel so FAT! every time i feel my thighs touch i just feel awkward and hateful of my body. (which is totally not healthy. i know)

sooo..do you think I could lose 5 pounds by the time school starts (sept 5. 3 weeks from now.)? That's about 2 pounds a week..i feel like losing 5 pounds will really up my morale to getting my weight goal of 140 pounds by the end of this year. i'll have only 15 pounds to go and 3 months to do it.

oh and what are some exercises i could do to speed up the weight loss? besides running, that is.

i just read in a magazine some excercises to tone up your thighs.

to tone the flab you say is in the insid of your thighs do squats. like have your the heels of your feet touching or close to touching and squat down.

then to tone the outside of your thighs, grab a chair from behind [so the back is facing you] and lift you right leg up as far as you can, then your left leg, then right, etc.

and i think it was to tone up your behind and it should help your thighs too is lunges. if you don't know what those are you like bend one knee so it touches the ground and the other knee is up. you repeat that switching your knees.

i would just do like maybe 5 reps of 10 each or so.

i hope that atleast helps with yuor thighs. i don't know why you aren't losing weight becasue by what you said it sounds like you should have [well besides the junk food]. your metabolism could just be really slow, you could try the docter maybe they could help you?

good luck =]

Hello.
I am a 13 year-old male. THIS QUESTION IS FOR A GIRLS OPINION ONLY! Now girls, am i weird? I try to look cool but somehow always make a fool of myself. like today i was trying to get my huge backpack out of my locker and i fell on my back. NO ONE LIKES ME AS A FRIEND, NO GIRL LIKES ME EMOTIONALLY,AND I THINK ITS BECAUSE IM WEIRD. I dress in baggy shorts,
and cool vintage tees, and try to act as cool as possible. but i can't stop being weird. Every joke i say noone laughs, but if another kid says the same thing, evryone dies laughing. I am a little overweight but not much.

i don't think you're weird, you sound like a normal 13 year old kid. everyone falls once in awhile, so don't worry about that.

okay and the friend issue, i would just try to make new friends. if someone doesn't like you just brush it off. with a whole school full of kids there is bound to be someone to like you as a friend. oh and don't try so hard..just be yourself and that is sure to work better.

hmm maybe you could join a sport or a club even? you'd make friends there too. k again just be yourself =]
honestly, you don't sound weird at all.

so i hope i helped out =]

on those ddr machines you see in arcades and stuff, how do people know what to do with the rest of their body? i know the feet follow the arrows but when do you spin and turn and do other stuff?

most of the people who can spin and turn during the song, have basically mastered it. like they know the song and steps well enough to know when they'll have time to spin and turn.

I want to get my industrial and trachea [wow probably wrong body part haha] but the middle part of my ear pierced..Does anyone know the costs or healing process? Thanks.

i have my industrial and the healing takes atleast 6 weeks and mine was $60 but in ranges from like $30 - $60 depending where you go.
the healing parts not bad at all as long as you clean it frequently and get it done at a safe, clean place. =]
