I'm Sarah :)
I'm a student studying for a degree in Business Management. I have an amazing boyfriend and great family and friends who all mean the world to me. Honestly I don't know what i'd do without any of them! ♥
I don't really know what to do with my life as a career, but I do love to give advice to anyone and I always try to give my 100%.
I really enjoy writing, baking, reading, parties, playing piano and doing anything creative really.
Sorry if I don't get back to your questions asap, but I will try to.

Does water make you gain weight? I know in the long run that it makes you lose weight, but if you drank a lot of water in one day & weighed yourself, would you weigh more? Thanks! (link)
|
No, water doesnt make you gain weight, it's great for your body as we are mainly made up of water and it detox's the body.
It may appear that you have gained a few pounds if you stand on the scale after drinking a lot, but as soon as you go to the toilet that will all disappear.

So my boyfriend always puts his arm around my waist.. and i dont know what to do with my hands/arms. I know something like this has already been answered.. but im sorry i would like to know so i dont feel like an idiot. Is there a certain way i should put my hands/arms??? thanks a million!! (link)
|
When I'm with my boyfriend and he puts his arm around my waist, I usually do the same or I hold his arm or something.
Experiment till you find something that feels right for both of you.
|
so i really like this guy and i think he likes me back. we asked me to go to blue bayou with him(waterpark) sat.
i dont have a ride or anything.
all i have is his myspace no phone number anything.
should i message him on myspace?
if so , what should i say
thanks. (link)
|
If you don't know him in person, then it's never a good idea to meet him alone. Especially as you can't get there and you don't have his phone number to ring him when you arrive at the waterpark.
I think you should message him and either tell him to bring a friend, and you also bring a friend or meet somewhere else that's closer to home, that way you'll be a lot safer as I don't advise you going alone to meet him.
Plus get his mobile number if you're going to meet up.
Then the next time you meet, you could go alone maybe?

is it true that you're supposed to drink half your body weight? some girl told me that a couple weeks ago
i weigh 145lbs..does that mean i have to drink 72floz? 64 is the recommended daily amount.
is that good? (link)
|
I'm unsure if that's true but I know that you're suppose to drink 8 glasses of water a day (about 4 pints).
Drinking too much also isn't good for your body as it can often make you thirstier and put a strein on your kidneys/bladder, so I doubt that you're suppose to drink that much.

Okay, so theres this girl that ive known for a year. and shes likee the biggest drama queen. so about a week ago, she goes and takes something out of my bag after i got up to throw something out.
and i notice how shes trying to make a run for her seat since she was at my table. so i was like..why are you going through my stuff? do i have to put a lock on my bag so people dont take things? and shes like mimiking me the whole time and was likee "shut up. who cares" all that immature bullish.
so im likee okay whatever.
so then i hear her from across the room saying she wants to kick the sh*t out of me and i ignore it.
and for the past week shes been talking **** about me so i can hear her. shes sayin stuff like "shes so ugly and she has no friends" when its really the total opposite.
i dont know how to confront her or what to say to her when shes talking this crap. what would you say?
whats a really good thing to say that will make her not know what to say?

Hmm I'm not sure thats a difficult one, cos it sounds as though she's just jealous of you and of your things. If you're prettier than her, have a better social network/friends/boyfriend or nicer things than her, it could be why.
If you know that what she's saying isn't the case then that's all that matters really. Talk to your other friends for support.
I would probably stand up for myself, it's horrible when someone is being mean about you for no apparent reason. Also try get your friends to back you up and she'll hopefully back down. But don't let it get you or you'll be worried about it even more.
The same kinda thing happened to me a few years ago, but I totally ignored it 'cos I didn't have the courage to stand up for myself and eventually it stopped happening, but if I had had the courage that I have now, I'd have deffinately put a stop to it there and then.
Just don't let it go ignored!

One night I was taking a bubble bath and as soon as I got out of the tub I got all dizy and almost fell over. Then as I was drying off I looked into the mirror and noticed I was really pale. I went to my bedroom and just sat on my bed since I wasn't feeling good. I started to not be able to breathe and my throat started to close up. I went to go look for my inhaler but couldn't find it. Luckily, my brother's girlfriend brought over hers so I could use it. Was this an asthma attack?
My Mom said to keep an eye on if it happens again, like maybe if I had a allergic reaction to something?
Please help, thanks! :] (link)
|
It could be asthma or an allergic reaction, but it sounds as thought the water could have been too hot in your bath or you may have stood up too quickly. that happens to me a lot so try not to run the water too hot and stand up slowly.
Also I don't think it's a good idea to share inhalers cos of the bacteria and different strengths.

I was holding my cat and she bit my arm, likkee real hardd.. Can I get cat-scratch fever? I heard that you can if a cat bites or scrathes you.. Should I wash it out? (link)
|
You probably won't have caught cat-scratch fever as it is a domestic cat.
you should wash out the wound thoroughly and then apply some antibiotic cream like TCP or Savalon or something that will stop infection.
If you think it's infected in the next few days, visit your GP
|
OKay i found some medicine in my moms medicine cabinet in her batghroom. The label says that it is a Metabolic Stimulant and Appitite Repressor. Do they really have medicine that can do that? It is called Lipodrene. Should I take it?
Thanks

Ask your mum about what it does if you want to know and don't take the medicine.
You should never take anyone else's medicine that is prescribed for them even if your symptoms are the same as their's. It could have a harmful effect on you.

14/f. hey!!! ok, well, just about 10. min ago, i had my first kiss!! but, i don't know if i'm doing it right/good. he says i do it good, but i don't feel like i am. he was about to say something that i should change, but then someone called on the fone, and he didn't finish my sentance. so, yeah.. how do u know if your doin it right?? thanks! (link)
|
There's nothing right or wrong about a kiss but as you do it more, you'll feel better and more confident about it.
Just make sure you're really into it, no one's perfect first time they kiss.
You could ask him what he likes or there might be sites on the internet with different ideas for you to both to try.

alright so i have became friends with this guy last school year and we were really close then i started to like him, anddd i still do, but that is the problem we already went out like two times and it didnt work out, and yet i still like him. i told him he would always be someone i liked in the back of my mind. after i said that he told me he liked me too again !
how do if i know he is for real?
and how can i tell?
and what should i do?
how could i test him?
guyss and girls
but perferablly guys (link)
|
If you've been out twice and it didn't work out either of those times, than thats an indication that it may not work out again. If you want to try it, then try it and see how it goes.
But I think that you should probably try and move on to someone else where it will work.
I went out with a guy twice and then I moved on because I knew it wasn't going to work out a thrid time...

my boyfriend and i have been having sex for about a month now. We use condoms and i don't want to get on birth control pills because my parents may be able to tell. is there anything else i could do to prevent pregnancy (link)
|
If you don't want to get pregnant there are other ways than the pill or condoms, but you'd need to see your doctor about them.
There's the coil, a contraceptive injection (if you're allergic to this or you don't like it then it can't be reversed, you have to wait for the effects to ware off...), theres an implant which is placed under your arm and releases the hormone progesterone and stops ovulation.
Theres a contraceptive patch or a diagphram/cap.
Theres a lot of suggestions there, you should maybe visit your GP or a health clinic for more information about them all.
Then if you're still unsure about using condoms and you don't want to try any of those options, then I suggest you don't have sex till your ready for another alternative.

I'm 15 F
I started going out with a guy from school on Friday. I like him, a lot.
I'm really nervous around him.
I wanna hold his hand and kiss him
but I get so shaky, and I'm so afraid of messing up.
I don't wanna be moving too quickly
and lose him but yeah lol
Thanks in advance. (link)
|
Well if he's going out with you then he obviously likes you and is probably thinking the same things as you.
Try holding his hand and then maybe kissing him on the check first then make your move after you've seen his reaction.
I don't think he'd think you were moving too fast and don't be worried there's nothing to mess up.

Well, yesterday I got sunburnt SOO bad. My arms are completely red, my legs, my face... Everything. And it hurts so bad. It burns and people have been calling me tomato all day.
I have been frequently applying aloe vera, but it hasn't been working, and it makes me feel gross and slimy... I just want to know, is there anything other than aloe vera that will make the burning and the redness go away fast?
Thanks in advance. (link)
| |
This might sound wierd, but you could try applying a paste of bicarbonate of soda and leaving it on for about 5 minutes, it should relieve the pain and reduce the redness a little.
|
This is probably in the wrong category, but I don't care.
Anyways:
I've had my period for 3 years. I hate having it. My cramps suck & they make me vomit sometimes. They hurt so much I don't even like going to school, let alone getting out of bed.
I took Midol 3 hours of ago & my cramps still hurt. They haven't gone away like they're supposed to. I'd ask my mom for more but the box is almost gone & I need it to last me the next 5 days. =( There's only 6 pills left! My mom won't buy any more because she's only got 20 dollars & it needs to last her until next week?
Anything else I can do to make these cramps go away? I'm really sick of them & being a girl & I just wanna kill my period. It's seriously starting to piss me off! =( (link)
|
You could try going on the pill? Some certain pills like Micronor or Cerazette can stop your periods all together. But it's the mini pill and some docotrs may be relucant in putting you on it.
But the pill really does work!
If your mum won't let you go on the pill you could try bathing in hot water or putting a hot water bottle on your stomach to ease the pain, or even lying on you stomach.
Or you could try taking some paracetamol and nurofen.

I know being bulimic isnt good but i dont understand how people do it. i know i cant make myself throw up even when i am sick how do people force themselves to throw up? (link)
|
People force themselves to throw up because they feel guilty and are anxious about putting on weight from all the binging. It's a compulsary response.
It's called purging and it's a psychological response to the binging.
It's seriously unhealthy, it can damage your insides and your teeth from the acid erosion from your stomach.
Bulimic's do it 2 or more times a week which is not good for their bodies/health.
I'm sure there's lots of information sites on the internet if you wanted to know more about the eating disorder.

the people that live next door to me have a young duaghter that always plays with my cat. they try to bring my cat, shadow, inside their house all the time, and they say how much they love her and want her. they just recently put their house up for sale, and are moving. i have a bad feeling that they are going to take shadow when they move, and she is my baby, so i would be completely lost if they did. how can i prvent this from happening? i cant keep her inside, because she loves being outside, and theres no way to keep her out of their yard. i dont know what i would do if they took her!
please help! any ideas would be more than appreciated! (link)
|
I know how you feel, I have 2 kittens and I would be distraught if anyone tried to take them away from me.
If you're feeling anxious about this, I suggest you should confront them about it, as you're never going to see them again, you've got nothing to loose.
Or you could advise them on where they could get one of their own from?

Do laxatives really make you lose weight? does it stay off. i know its not healthy but can former lax. abusers tell me their results. and the pros and cons. (link)
|
No laxatives don't help you loose weight and it's not healthy for your body either. I wouldn't advice you to use them.
If you are wanting to loose weight, as an alternative you could go to the gym or see your GP or a dietician about a suitable diet to suit your body.

when you wake up what is the eye crust thing? (link)
|
Its just from while you were asleep, as you don't blink when you're sleeping so the crusty gunk forms as your eyelids are unable to wipe the stuff that falls into your eyes away.
It can also happen really bad if you have hayfever.

15/f
i think that im slowly developing an eating disorder
i find myself afraid of gaining weight
i dont binge and purge
my relationship with food isint the same
im very defencive when people say im anorexic
because i do eat
i just dont have a healthy way of eating without regreting what ive done
im 15/f 5'6" 100lbs.
im not sur if thats healthy of not
im always thinking about ways to lose weight
and today all ive eaten was yogurt
i would hate to one day call myself anorexic
i dont know how to stop this
im not happy with the way i look ...
how can i stop this ...
(link)

You shouldn't be concerned with your weight, it doesn't matter how much you weigh as long as you feel healthy about yourself.
It's not healthy to just eat a yoghurt all day, you need food to keep your body going. I don't think you're an anorexic, but I think there is a psychological problem there.
If your friends are concerned about you, then you should deffinately listen to them and if you think the problem is getting any worse, I suggest that you should see your GP or a counselor and they'll help you. Or try talking to your parents first about it.
