Replace ALL of your drinks with water. You can put Crystal Lite packets in the water because they're only 10 calories each.
For breakfast, have something small (like a fruit) and water, then go on a 15 minute walk or a 10 minute run. This will burn off your breakfast.
For lunch and dinner, don't go back for seconds or dessert, and drink only water.
That's usually all it takes.
Please don't take Caffeine Pills like someone else mentioned. Too much caffeine causes your heart rate to increase, which over time could cause a heart attack.

Okay, so I go to this really like.. stupid school.. as in, I'm smarter than like 90% of people there.. So that means I get a high class rank, etc. & even free community college because of that.
Unfortunately, living with my mom is a complete hell. Honestly, it is pure emotional abuse with her. Of course, she IS a mom, and she does have her really nice moments, but she says I always have an attitude and completely goes off on me for that, saying I'm stupid and irresponsible, etc.
Everyone tells me that I'm about the nicest person ever and that she's wrong.. Even my dad. Which is why he divorced her. So, I sorta want to live with him, even though he is never home & always working & sometimes he can be a little harsh. Also I would be going to a sorta hard school and no free college or anything. & no seeing my boyfriend in school.. :[ & having to make new friends & stuff
So.. Should I stick it out for 3 more years or start a whole new life.. with more challenges :[? (link)

Stay with your mom. Once you're in college, you won't be home as much as you are now. My older step-brother goes to a community college and lives at home, but he only comes home to sleep because he has class and works part-time.
You should consider working while attending community college to save money and separate you from your mom.
Believe me, once you move out of your mom's house, you probably won't ever have the chance to move back in, even if you're in financial trouble.

Ok.I'm basically not skinny. I've tryed EVERYTHING to get it to go away. I've done dieting, but I keep on braking them, and I'm already in about 1 thosand sports. So I'm thinking about only eating lunch and a little dinner everyday, but I don't know how bad that is for me. Like for lunch, a salad, orange juice (which is nasty), and for dinner maybe only an apple. So should I do it or not? Plus, I need to know if I should do it or not, what should I do? (link)
|
You shouldn't eat that little amount of food. The lettuce in your salad is extremely low in calories, and an apple has about 80. So that would be around 400 calories maximum..every day?
Your body needs breakfast, first of all. I can see having an apple for breakfast because that's what I usually eat. Then for lunch, just have a main entree (hamburger, spaghetti, etc.) and 2 sides. No buying ice cream or chips.
Replace your drinks with water. This REALLY helps. Also, you need a larger dinner than an apple. Something about the size of your lunch should be okay.
To be honest with you, I tried a diet very similar to the one that you're thinking about. I lost some weight, but I was absolutely miserable. I had to convince myself not to eat almost every 5 minutes and food was constantly on my mind. It is very similar to anorexia, and you could become depressed by it as well as very unhealthy.
I beg you to just limit the size of your meals. What I've noticed is that limiting the size of your meals is a faster solution to losing weight than exercising. This doesn't mean replace dinner with an apple or lunch with a salad. It means turn 2 plates of pasta, 3 sides of mashed potatoes, gatorade, and cookies into 1 plate of spaghetti, a side of green beans, and milk.
Good luck!

what's the best shampoo and conditioner in your opinion? (link)

I use VO5 shampoo and conditioner [I'm a guy with dry hair, if that helps].

Heyy. Well I'm really trying to get a 4.0 this quarter, so does anyone have some available, working study tips in mind? I would really appreciate it.
ps-oh yeah, I'm 14/f if that's of any help. thanksssss. (link)
|
Study for tests and quizes sooner than when they are given. If you have a test on Friday, start to study on Tuesday. This REALLY does help.
I have vocabulary quizes every week, and I have to memorize 20 words a week for each quiz. Memorizing 20 words Thursday night is very difficult, but studying 7 on Tuesday, 7 on Wednesday, and 6 on Thursday is much more manageable.
This might sound nerdy, but when I get home, I type up the notes that I took at school so that they are much neater. It helps me make the notes easier to read (notes that are in bullets are easier than notes that are in paragraphs), and by the time a test comes around, all I have to do is print off the notes and study those instead of looking through my binder.
I hope this helps.

19/F
I'm in a university program run at a college. Unfortunately, it's brand-new, so not all of the kinks have been smoothed out yet.
My exams start on the 12th, classes end on the 11th. I've got 2 on the 12th, 1 on the 13th, 16th, 17th and 18th.
I have a bunch of assignments due on Monday, none of which I've been able to start yet, because I've had too much work.
I just found out from one of my profs that APPARENTLY I've only handed in one lab out of 8 or so. He's going to accept my labs, but he'll take 50 percent off of each one, since they're 'late', even though my partner handed them in; he just forgot to write my name on them. When I found this out, I got so panicky that I ended up being sick.
A few nights ago, I stopped being able to sleep; I do everything I'm supposed to, but the stress is keeping my mind running like crazy. I had to go to the doctor's office and they put me on sleep aids.
I'm worried that I'm going to fail my one class, and if you fail even one class, you can't go into the next year.
I'm supporting myself financially, which is stressful enough, and I'm running into the end-of-year stretch. I've got a whopping 60 dollars in my bank account, can't ask my parents for help, and I have my phone bill, rent and groceries to pay for.
In addition to all of this, I've been helping friends through really difficult times, and dealing with seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D)
I'm so stressed out, and when I get stressed, I shut down. I haven't been able to do anything, and it only stresses me out more.
Any words of wisdom for a person who is literally making herself sick worrying? (link)

I think what you need is to relax. Go out and hang out with friends for an hour or two, or sit on the couch and watch your favorite movie with popcorn.
I have been in your exact situation. Having so much on your plate is, well, overwhelming, and although it may feel like the end of the world..it isn't.
Let's imagine the worst thing that could happen. You fail all of your classes, you end up losing your apartment, and you cannot attend the university next semester. To be honest, even if every fear of yours comes true, you would still have a friend or family member who would take you in. And, even though this thought might sound absolutely preposterous to you, you can attend a community college if you are unable to go to the same college again. Community colleges are inexpensive (you said money was a problem) and they accept people who have made mistakes in their academic careers. So, in the end, if the worst thing happens, you still have a bright future ahead. :)
But you still have to deal with your problems right now. What I suggest is go to your lab partner and have him/her tell your professor that you helped and deserve credit. If this doesn't work, I personally would do as many labs as I could, but not worry about them very much because it's your final exam that you should prepare for most.
Here is what you need to do. I would spend April 7th working on those labs and those labs only (if your professor doesn't accept your lab partner's labs). Then I would accept what labs are done and move on to studying for finals. On the 8th, do as many assignments as you can that are due on Monday. On April 9th, study for one of your finals that is on the 12th. On April 10th, study for the other final that you have on the 12th. On April 11th, make a list of the information you still don't know for the April 12th finals, and study that list. On April 12th, take your finals and study for the final on the 13th. On April 13th, take the final and RELAX. On April 14th, study for the final you have on the 16th. On April 15th, review for the final on the 16th, and if you have more time, start studying for the final on the 17th. On April 16th, study for the final on the 17th. And on April 17th, study for the final on the 18th.
So here is a bullet-style schedule that I recommend you follow:
April 7: Science labs.
April 8: Assignments that are due on Monday.
April 9: Study for 1 of your finals on the 12th.
April 10: Study for the other final on the 12th.
April 11: Review for both finals.
April 12: Take your first 2 finals and study for your final on the 13th.
April 13: Take the final and RELAX.
April 14: Study for the final on the 16th.
April 15: Review for the final on the 16th.
April 16: Take the final and study for the final on the 17th.
April 17: Take the final and study for the final on the 18th.
April 18: Take the final and have a party.
If you decide to follow that schedule, PLEASE do not stress over getting enough work done. Work, come home, study, and go to bed at 11pm at the latest. You need sleep more than anything for the next week or two. If at 11pm you are still working on assignments or studying and you have a lot left to do, say a prayer and go to sleep. At that point, there's nothing you can do.
That's another thing you should know. You are only human. You can't juggle a job and 6 exams. No one can.
Hopefully, you will have learned 2 lessons by the end of April. One, plan out what needs to get done and if you can't do it, at least you know you tried. And two, for goodness sake, don't take six classes at a time. If it means graduating a year late, so be it. Enjoy your college years.

i am a slacker, all i want to do is socialize which is normal for most teenage girls. But, my grades in school are far from adverage. Honestly, i would love to be able to have alright grades so that way i wouldnt be in so much crap with my parents along with the worry of failing out of 10th grade. My parents have some help teacher on my case he never leaves me alone even when i was doin well last semester he bothered me, i hate this guy. Along with that i am constantly faced with the critisms of my parents and half the time i am completely ignored even when i try to speak. The other day my friend told me my mom called hers and said "two more years and she is is out of here."Take that as you will but, it hurt me. I went through a stage where i would run away because at one point my dad use to physically abuse me therefore i ended up in counciling and my parents have me as a registered run away(last year) but i grew out of that and now i just find myself trying to humor them. The problem is it is putting my mental health at risk. i am pretty convinced my parents are tryin to manipulate me. I dont think they want me to grow up and the problem is i feel like no one can help what should i do?
ps. im already in consuling. (link)

School is really important at this stage in your life. I don't know what you plan on doing in your future, but if college is a possibility, then you'll need good grades if you want to go to a 4-year college. It's not too late to change your study habits and increase your GPA, but if you are already stuck with a low GPA, there is always community college.
I understand how having a social life is essential in high school, but so is managing time for school. Try to work in some extra time to go to school early and do homework in the library. You could try to do homework and study during lunch in the library, too. The best thing for you to do is find friends to study with, which would help your grades and allow you to be with friends.
About your parents. I suggest having the same mindset as them: only 2 more years and you're free from them. You can get an apartment with some friends or live in a dorm while attending college, or join the military if that's your thing.
Ask your counselor about what I've suggested, and maybe he/she can say what he/she thinks about it.

I feel really awkward when people ask me about my religion and stuff because i'm agnostic and don't think there is a way to prove if god is real or not. I really don't want to tell my friends that because most of them are really religious and i'm scared they wouldn't like me if I did. Why do people think it's such a big deal if you don't believe in god? I don't know if I should tell them or not. (link)
|
You shouldn't say that you believe proving God's existence is impossible. That would upset your friends, and they would probably rant about how he exists.
Instead, tell them something like you are confused about God, or that you haven't really made a decision.
You might even want to say that talking about God makes you feel uncomfortable. They would most likely stop asking about it.

I have an almost 1 year old long haired Chihuahua, with the possibility that he's mixed. (I think he's mixed because he's WAY too big to be a pure bred chihuahua). The first few months we've had him there have been no problems (I've had him since the middle of June). But recently he's been jumping up alot and biting people. He's drawn blood on two people so far, including my nephew whom he bit in the lip today.
We punish him whenever he does this but to no avail. My mom said that if he bites another person and draws blood that we have to put him down. Obviously I don't want to put him down, he's my baby and I love him but this is getting way out of hand.
So far my options are to muzzle him or put him down. For now, until we can figure out something else to do we're going to muzzle him. But I don't want to keep my dog in a muzzle all the time.
What else can I do? I don't want to put my dog down... (link)
|
I know you don't want to hear this, but you NEED to muzzle him. Once an animal has tasted human blood, it wants more, and your dog has tasted it twice. It would be best to put him down, but if you absolutely must keep him alive, a muzzle is necessary and needs to be on him at all times.
You never know what he could do the next time he comes in contact with someone else. He could bite off someone's finger or break a vein, and if that happens, you're dog would have to be killed and you would be sued. Or imagine if he somehow runs away. He could harm a little girl walking to school or an old man waiting for a bus.

:(hello again everyone
i have another question
at school in my class, we play truth or dare when the teacher doesnt look. when we play we play it pretty bad, we say stuff like "i dare you to touch Jakes balls" or soome thing like that, it is really embarassing and stupid, but we have fun still. when it gets around to me having a turn and i have to kiss some one they always say stuff like "why does she have to kiss ME?" and stuff like that. But if another girl had to do it, for example : talisha, natasha or Stacey. the boys would probably turn their heads so they girls kiss their lips. and i think i know why. i think it is because i am not really that pretty and i have NO boobs, every girl in my class has boobs, except for me. and i hate it sooooo bad. i wanna scream out loud and tell the boys to get over the fact that i was dared to kiss or touch them.
what should i do? and should i worry about it sooo much?:( SORRY FOR THIS BEING SOO LONG lol... (link)
|
I'm a guy, and let me tell you, boobs mean nothing. I would rather date a "flat" pretty girl than a "big" average girl.
"Every girl in my class has boobs, except for me".
Guys do not examine girls as harshly as you do. For me, there's two questions I ask myself to determine if a girl is attractive: her weight and her facial features. Not how big her boobs are and not how big her butt is. Not even her height, really.
I don't know why they do that. The whole game is pretty immature. Why exactly is it funny to tell someone to touch someone else's crotch? I don't know about you, but I would completely stop playing if everyone you play with is perverted.
I suggest to stop playing with those people or make the truths and dares INTERESTING. Honestly, how interesting can the game be if everyday the dares are "Kiss him!" and "Touch her!"? I just don't understand the whole point of the childish game, but if you enjoy playing, be my guest. You might want to tell your friends to stop using dares that involve touching/kissing/licking/etc. That might work.

ok well my teeth arent all that white and i have about thirty-four dollars and im planning on spendning it on some really good teeth whitening stuff. My mom works at hy-vee and thats the only place i can really get stuff from because she goes there everyday and could pic it up for me...do you know of any teeth whiteners like the strips or the other stuff that works really fast?!?!? thats about $30 or under that?. that i could find at Hy-vee? (link)
|
None of the teeth-whitening products will whiten your teeth in a short period of time. It takes months to see changes.
For $34, I don't think that Crest Whitening Strips are in your budget. I think I remember them costing around $40.
However, there is a Crest Whitening Mouth Wash that whitens your teeth and gives you good breath for a lower price.
Also, some additional things that you can do are to change your diet. Cut out tea, coffee, soda, and foods like blueberries and you should see results more quickly.

Please any advice would be amazing.
Last night, my legs were really itchy. It happens sometimes. I put lotion on them and its usually goes away. But today I noticed tiny red/purple pin point dots on my inner thighs. They aren't bumps. They don't hurt or itch.
If anyone knows anything about it, please any advice is great! (link)
|
I used to have the same exact reddish/purplish dots when I would scratch my skin.
In a few days, the dots go away, unless you continue to scratch them. I chose to not see a doctor, and I haven't had dots like that in over a year.
I say give it a week to see if they go away like they did for me. If they don't, then contact a dermatologist.

are fruits & vegetables fattening at ALL? i mean, they HAVE to be atleast a little! if i ate 900 apples a day, i would HAVE to get fatter.... right? (link)
|
Eating 900 of anything in one day would make you gain weight.
Apples are actually very light. On average, they have 60-80 calories, and if they're peeled, they have even less.
Fruits have sugars, yes, but not many calories. Vegetables have less sugar than fruits, so I think eating vegetables is a better solution to losing weight than eating fruits.
Don't forget: vegetables are very low in calories, but once you add butter or fry them, they can become fattening.

My worst fear EVER is throwing up. I can't listen to it or see someone throw up, or throw up myself without crying. And whenever someone feels sick I avoid them. My brother has been in the bathroom throwing up for about a half hour now and I locked myself in my room and started crying my eyes out. I am 13! I thought if you face your fears you can get over them, but when I throw up myself and face it, it doesn't help, just makes me scared I'll throw up again and I refuse to eat for the rest of the day. (link)
|
It is normal for people to stop eating for the day after they throw up. Eating right after you throw up could cause you to throw up again. I know this from experience.
I'm not sure what your question is, so I'll assume you want to know how to handle your fear better.
To be quite honest, no one likes being around throw up, and no one likes to throw up. It stings your throat and you feel helpless. However, throwing up every few years is a part of life.
There's no way to be fearless of throw up. Everyone I know is grossed out by it and doesn't like to see it or hear it coming out.
I do think that crying was a little overdramatic. Throwing up is not life-threatening (unless done frequently). It helps get bad things out of your system to keep you healthy. When your brother was throwing up, he was actually getting rid of unhealthy material in his stomach, so if anything you should be rejoicing.

So.. i took about 6 or 7 asprin..that were 500mg each. Is that bad? Could that hurt me? And ever since then, my stomach has been hurting pretty bad every time i eat something..or even when i don't. It was Saturday night and it still does this. It could just be because i've been stressed out but i'm not sure.. (link)
| |
According to Wikipedia, this is not bad. You say you took 6-7 aspirins, which is 3000-3500mg total. Wikipedia says not to take 8000mg or more, so you're fine.

Hey I have a problem. I am a CHRISTIAN and BAPTIST and there is this boy I really like he's cute, nice, kind, funny, understands me, and he doesn't just judge me on my outward aperance atleast it seems that way. Well, I really like this guy but, he's not a CHRISTIAN!!! And, I've tried to let go of him beleive me but, it's not that easy!!!I told him I din't like him anymore but, then I would cry cry cry and cry. Every love song semmed to remind me of him and I couldn't bear to see him at school. I asked GOD why are you doing this to me help me stay strong did I ,no!!! I gave in and I am madly inlove with him again. And, when I say madly man I mean it!!! He's always there for me. I don't know what to do i can't witness to him beacuse if i did he would only become a CHRISTIAN for me not because he wants to or understands that he needs to. I've PRAYED to GOD and asked HIM for HELP. And, I know i need to be PATIENT. But, i feel that evenwhen GOD says let go of him i refuse not to and won't.In just need advice on how to let go of him or is there a way to make both god and this guy happy. I doubt it but and help would well help!!! Sorry if this is confusing or to long. Just someone try to gove me the best advice possible I won't judge you!!! Thanks. And GOD BLESS ya'll!!! (link)
|
I'm sorry, but you should leave this guy behind. My philosophy is to never EVER date someone of a different religion. What if you decide to marry this person? Then you would go to Heaven, and he may not. You would possibly never see your true love again.
It also states specifically in the Bible that Christians should only marry other Christians. In my opinion, a Christian and a Mormon can get married because both religions acknowledge Jesus as the son of God.
|
ok, so i am a little confused. i am a female, 14 years old, and a catholic cristian. i was wondering what we can and cant do with sex. i know God wants us to wait until we are married, but could we get naked infront of a guy? or what? please explain this to me!!!
thanks!!! (link)
|
No, you cannot. I read at an online Christian website about this.
God does not want anything sexual to go on between unmarried people. This includes oral sex, anal sex, nudity, phone sex, and sex.
|
I'm a teenager who was raised Catholic but now I'm like agnostic or atheist or something.
I don't really believe there was a guy named jesus who died for everyone's sins. i really do not believe that. so how can i call myself a christian?
i do not agree with the christian ideals on premarital sex. i lust all the time- so i don't want a religion that prevents lusting.
i also masturbate. i'm not going to stop it for some higher power that isn't even real.
what should i do? i don't believe anything.
i don't want to be a Christian. I never really was one in the first place. (link)
|
What you should do is research other religions, such as Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, and Islam.
I must tell you something, though. Most religions require things and prohibit other things. For example, I can tell you right now that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all look down upon premarital sex. If you decide to follow one of these religions, it is you who must change. You cannot shape a religion out of what you are willing to do and what you won't do. Religions shape YOU.

This problem is dumb, I know - but I've been thinking about it. Today at the end of my last period class, maybe 10 minutes or so before the bell was going to ring, my class finished our work or whatever and were done with what we were going to do for the day. Usually our teacher lets us just get up out of our seats and talk to our friends. I don't know if she said this or not flat out to the class, but apparently she didn't want us to move around out of our seats today. A couple of minutes later I kind of glanced out of the corner of my eye that she told this guy to go back to his seat after he had moved. I looked up at the clock a little bit after that and it was like, a minute before the bell was going to ring. My friend told me from across the room to go and sit with her. I kind of knew that the teacher didn't want us to move around but I mean.. there were only like a couple of minutes until the bell. So, I got up and got halfway across to my friend when my teacher was like, "Where are you going??? I just told so and so blah blah blah." I just went back to my seat and it wasn't that big of a deal or anything. But if you were in that class with me and you saw that happen would you think I was dumb or rude or weird to do that? I felt like I looked stupid. I asked my friend and she was like, "I didn't even see you coming up." And to tell you the truth, I don't think anybody was even paying attention to me. But if you did see that would you think badly of it or not even care? I'm so stupid and neurotic and I realize this question is ridiculous but please try and humor me :-(
(link)
|
I wouldn't care. When there are a few minutes left of class, kids usually get ready to leave and go talk to their friends anyways. Your teacher just sounds strict.
So no, I wouldn't think badly of it. Your teacher probably isn't even mad at you (she's probably forgotten by now).
