Hey! My name is Kathryn and I am 14. I live in a suburb of Chicago.
I would say that I am a very friendly, loving, adventurous, helping, funny, crazy, outgoing, kinda person.
Some of my intrests include hanging out and talking to friends, helping people, playing soccer, playing basketball, playing ddr, going online, listening to music, drawing, going shopping, reading, and watching movies.
I just love giving people advice and helping them with their problems...I want to either be a counselor or social worker when I grow up.
I try my best with answering questions, and I hope that I can help you!

Hey! When I first started to babysit, I took a class called babysitters clinic and that was through the park district. They teach you all that you need to know about babysitting and they halp you make flyers and business cards to hand out. I know that it helped me a lot and I think that it would helps you start out with babysitting.
Good Luck

Okay, I have a problem.
I have a dance performance on the 17 and 18 of June, I normally get my period on the 15th. I have researched tampons and the pros and cons but the problem is they(tampax.com) say that when you start to wear tampons you should just wear the ones for lighter days. That sucks because my period is normally really heavy and the preformance is from 5:30 to about 12:00 both nights. There is only one bathroom and its normally filled during recital nights. I have my dressing room with about 60 other girls and there is no possible way I could wear pads with my costumes, one I have too many white outfits and two I move around too much on stage. I can't have the pad go flinging out. That would be disgusting.
So the question is, is it okay to try wearing tampons for heavier flo on my first time?
Yes, I have tried tampons before and it always feels uncomfortable because i'm not use to having string stick out of my vagina but I would go with the discomfort for my dance. (link)
|
Hey! Tampons aren't supposed to hurt or feel uncomfortable, unless you have it in wrong. Maybe try a couple of times to get used to it and then put it in right. Also, because you said that you flow is pretty heavy, maybe try a regular or super tampon because they absorb more.
Good Luck

By the time people are around 20, do you recon they expect sex as part of a relationship? (link)
|
It just depends on when the individual person is rady. If you are in a strong relationship and you think that you are ready by the age of 20, then you should expect sex. But if you're not in a strong relationship and don't feel ready, then you probabally shouldn't expect sex.
I hope this helps

My period started early today and im going shopping tomorrow!! It wouldnt be a problem or anything but i have really heavy periods and the 2nd day is always the heaviest. Tomorrow is gonna be the 2nd day! im not calling it off because i cant let my friends down and ive wanted to get some cds and stuff im buying tomorrow for ages. any suggestions, like how i can cope and what i should do?! and when i say heavy i mean really heavy as have to use night pads in the day and change them every 2 hours. (link)
|
Hey! There is nothing that you can do to change the heaviness of your flow....sorry you just have to deal with it.
Do:
-wear the heavy night pads
-change your pad right before you leave
-take Midol or another type of menstrual cramp reliever
-bring pads with you and change them regularly so that you feel comfortable
-confide in one friend so that she can go with you to change it
Dont:
-cancel your plans because of it...you're gonna have it for your whole life so you'll just have to deal with it
-not change your pad so that you leak
Good Luck
I hope this helps

What's the best way to tell a girl how you feel about her? School's over so I can't tell her there. I could get her screen name from one of her friends and tell her over IM but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Please help. I'm 14 and a guy. (link)
|
Hey! You should definitely tell her. IM is probabally not the best idea to tell her though because things could get messed up and there is no solid proof from the internet. I would try calling her to tell her if you have her phone number. Or write her a letter and put it in her mailbox. Sorry that's all I could think of right now.
Good Luck
I hope this helps

It is always a competition between my best friend and I for who can get a better tan over the course of the summer. We do it naturally by laying outside instead of fake baking. We don't tan ecessivley or anything, but lately I've been wondering about skin cancer and all that. My mom told me to use some sun tan lotion to block the violent rays of the sun..but will that stop me from getting a good tan? Thx (link)
|
Hey! The other answers aren't really that clear, but No, sun tan lotion does not affect your tan. You should definitely wear it though because all it does is protect your skin from the UV rays which DO cause skin cancer.
I hope this helps

I always have no idea in the morning on what eye shadow to put on. The main thing is I don't know what colors look good with my hair color. I have a light brownish-blonde hair with a nice light tan. and what color would look good with my lips? (link)
|
Hey! I would use neutral color eyeshadow like tan, brown, or cream, or maybe even a light pinkish color. Also try a little bit of eyeliner and mascara if you are allowed to. For your lips just use a light pink lipgloss, and put on only a little bit to make it look more natural.
Good Luck

do you get the same amount of tan with sunblock on than if you didnt? doesnt it just protect your skinn? does it make sense to put sunblock on and then tan? lol (link)
|
Hey! You should definitely wear sunblock. It doesn't really affect your tan. It protects your sun from the UV rays which can cause skin cancer. If I were you I would wear sunblock everytime you go outside for a long period of time, so yeah I would wear it when you are tanning.
I hope this helps

I'm having my Sweet Sixteen party this month and I was wondering if you had any ideas for ways to keep my guests entertained during the 4-5 hour period. I'm holding it at my house, I have a buffet, a tiki bar, a seating area, music, and giant torches. The only activities I have planned are a candle lighting ceremony, and cutting the cake and opening presents (those will help waste time), then I decided to have a bellydancing contest (just for laughs), and then a hula-hooping contest. My theme is Hawaiian/Luau. Please help me find more ways to get the time to fly by! (link)

i want to be on the volleyball team next year... but i suck at volleyball. i have all summer and i want 2 get good, but i cant join a team because im going to be on vacation in july. how do i learn 2 play? (link)
|
Hey! Try checking if there are any volleyball camps around you this summer(maybe for school or the park district) It will get you some practice and I know that usually coaches are in charge of them so they can teach you. Also, practce makes perfect so just play for fun with friends or family.

Im sick and I really need to throw up. Somehow I just cant. I know I have to because I can feel it but I dont know why I cant. My mom says I will throw up but is there anything that I can drink that will make me throw up. I dont want to put my finger down my throat tho and please dont say I shouldnt. If I do I will feel a lot better. Thanks! (link)
|
Hey! When I'm sick i try to drink sprite, 7up, or seltzer water, or something along those lines. The bubbles in the drink help your stomach. It may help settle down your stomach a little bit before you throw up. I know that once you throw up you will feel better.
Good luck
I hope this helps

P.S. Get well soon!

hey all today i was skateboarding with my brother and his friend and my one friend made a ramp out of wood and i went to skateboard like go up the ramp and well i fell and the bad part is i landed on my arm i mean on my arm and when i got home my arm started shaking and my hand to and know it hurts alot i think i twisted it when i fell to so what should i do should go to the hopspital or go to get it x-rayed or should i just leave it alone. i will rate 5's for reasonable answers thanks kindly. (link)
|
Hey! I've broken my arm 3 times so I can relate to this question. I would go to the doctor or hospital to get an x-ray, because you might have broken, sprained, or fractured your arm. In the meantime, I wouldn't try to move it aaround a lot. It may not seem that bad, but it could get worse by moving it (try keeping it close to your body.) Also, put ice on it. It will help if there is any swelling.
Good Luck
I hope this helps
xoxoxo
P.S. I hope your arm gets better.
