I am a mother of four and none of my children will eat vegetables or fruit. The oldest is 13 and the youngest 7. I fed them vegetables and fruit in baby food as yound children, but they just don't like it now. I was the same as a child and so I didn't push them. However, while they're not unhealthy, I'd like them to start eating at least a bit more healthily, what with all this stuff going around about overweight kids and cholestrol, etc etc etc. So, my question is: does anyone have any recipies or ideas to make fruit and vegetables tasty and fun?
Also, my thirteen-year-old just got braces and can't eat anything hard for a few days, so I was wondering if it would be safe for to eat baby food? I know it has nothing added to it but I was just wondering if it was OK for a 13 year old to eat that and only that (obviously with drinks, and different varieties of the food) for three or four days?
Also, my friend has suggested using baby food or vegetable pureè as pasta sauces. Do you think this would work?
Thanks,

If you can get her to eat the babyfood it certainly won't hurt her. The sauce idea would work, though it might be a little bland.
The easiest way I know of to get kids to eat veggies is to dice them up small and put them in other food's you are serving them. Just disguise them a little.
Kid's are a bit overweight these day's. I think if they eat normally they will be ok. The main thing is to get them out from in front of the Tv and go outside and play. Burn off the calories. To many sit around doing nothing watching TV and playing video games, or the computer. Nothing wrong with that, but they need to get plenty of exercise as well. :)

I hate myself and want to die. There is no way out. There is no definite answer to anything so how can you ever be right? Why do my friends always want to know what i am thinking when they dont care, they dont listen so why ask. Counsellors get PAID to listen to you. no one will remember me a year from my death. Anti depressants leave you numb and emotionless. Doctors dont issue sleeping pills coz I am a depressant but I cant SLEEP all i do is stare into senseless nothing seeing nothing but black shadows. The only releif is a razor blade and salt. Nothing will ever get better i will have this hopeless feeling of nothingness and desperation for somekind of peace of mind which i wont get. Things will always be the same and then ill die anyway. Im a selfish ugly fat bitch and the only way out is death. nothing can help me. im searching for a solution to get past my pathetic problems asides from counsellors, therapy, rehab, cutting, not cutting, anti depressants the only thing i can think of to a solution is death. no will will ever be able to stop this drowning feeling (link)

You can. You're the only one. The therapist is there only to help. If you don't lay it out there for them to see, they won't be able to help you. Sure, they get paid to listen, it's their job. They wouldn't have made it their living though if they didn't care about people. You need to take your therapy seriously if you want to benefit from it.Not all anti deppressants work for all people. They do not make you numb an emotionless, if they do you tell your doctor and get it changed to another until you find the right one for you. So, unless you want to help yourself you are not going to get better. The solution is in yourself. Open up to your doctors. If you don't have one, get one.

What are some good exercises/stretches that focus on toning your butt/thighs? I mean easy things, not complicated ones that I could never do. I already run everyday because of track, so is there anything else you can think of? Thanks a lot! (link)

I think I have sort of created some sort of irreversible obsession over my best friend. I'ts not that I cant live with out her. It just that I refuse to do the simplest thing without her consent or at least knowledge. In some sort of twisted way, I cant think without her.... Shes sort of that one thing that completes me in almost all aspects of my life. I'ts scares me day by day because i feel that such a good thing is always lost... Im paranoid about losing one of the only things that makes my life, worthwhile.... Praying for her everynight doesnt seem enough and even when I'm sleeping next to her...I sleep with the deep penetrating thought that She wont be there when i wake up.... My question to you is this.. Is this a friendship or some sort of ill obsession?????
Please help me?????

Sounds like you want her approval. You look up to her and think highly of her opinions. Most people who become friends don't just up and desert you. Unless she is bothered by it you probably aren't going overboard. :)

| |
You need to ask him why he is doing this. Tell them both you are not going to take sides if they have a fight. He may see you as being on her side...set the record straight. :)

One of my best friends has been dateing this guy for a year. we are both 14. well i have always thought this guy wasnt good for her, i mean he has kicked her, black mailed her, and even sent threats. the threats were jokes, but they wee serious at the time. like there was one rape one. well lately she has been ignoring me for him. it is true that he hasnt been so bad lately and it seems like her does love her, but i still cant take it. it doesnt seem fair that i have always TRIED to be with her, and he hasnt and she takes the side of him. what should i do? should i tell her? should i just let it slide? (link)
| |
If you see him hit her or anything call the cops. If he doesn't and you have already told her what you think of him, let it slide. She isn't hearing you so it's a waste of time. Hopefully she will wake up on her own before long. Those threats shouldn't be taken lightly either. Other than telling an adult abouot it I don't know you can do. She will be mad at you if you do.

Hey guys...well my dad is really mean to me sometimes and I'm really tired of it. He'll be nice to me one minute and a total grouch to me the next. What should I do? I'll rate 5's to GOOD answers!

Seems everyone is in a bad mood now and then. Your best bet would be just to steer clear of him when you sense he is in a bad mood. :)

A friend of mine likes my boyfriend. But she is going out with his best friend(we can call him Lee) She says she loves Lee but then tells other people she Loves my boyfriend and just likes Lee.. shes ubsessed with my boyfriend and flirts with him constantly in front of me.. how do i make her realize shes dating Lee not my boyfriend (link)
| |
You tell her it's really rude flirtting with your boyfriend. Not to mention that it's something a friend would never do. Then you might also want to have your boyfriend tell her to stop it. She probably will if he tell's her to. :)

Do u no what you do at prom? I heard something about prom that theres a grand march. What is that? Do u no what goes on during the dance? Like is there alot of fast dancing? or mostly slow dancing? (link)
| |
They are like all other school dances really they just dress better. Music is a mix of slow and fast. You get to drink punch. :)

hey my lips are always dry and i dont know why. i have to lick them all the time to keep them wet. they arent chapt so i dont need chap stick, but what should i do? i rate high (link)
| |
Try some Blistex. It works like chapstick but is wetter...if that makes sense.

ok i have been going out with this guy for like 2 months and i really like him, but we havent kissed yet, should i make the first move? and he doesnt call me..what is up with that? i think he is just shy, and there is this other guy that told me he likes me and i kind of like him but i dont want to brake up with my boyrfriend for him what should i do? (link)
| |
Your boyfriend is the only one who can answer you. Ask him why he never calls you. Some people just don't like talking on the phone. If you care for the boyfriend don't even consider the other guy.

Hello everyone, how can you know if it is really love or not. There's this guy who I have a crush on for four years plus already and I still can't forget him. Whenever I see him last time and he goes near me, my mind can't think anything. It's like my mind is saying say something say something but I can't think of anything to say. Now, I'm worried about him and I don't know if this is really love. If it is, could it be possible that love exist at my age? I'm 16. And could it be possible that you love someone you don't know really that much? (link)
| |
Yes it is possible. Since you don't know him that well it's probably not true love though.You may love the idea of being in love. You have to know a person well enough to love them with all their faults laid out there. You just don't know him well enough for that.That doesn't mean you can't go after him and see! Go put yourself out in front of him and start talking. Good luck :)
|
|
If a guy liked you, and you liked him alot, and he is gonna ask u out, thenyou hang out with him at a bandfest with friends one nite and hes ALL over you but at the end of the night he doesnt even talk to you anymore or n e thing, not even a good bye or anything, would you think he doesnt like you anymore?? would you give up on him?? or keep trying cuz you like him ALOT!! (link)
|
Keep trying cause you like him a lot.
He probably likes you and just got busy or sidetracked by friends.

14+f ...all right.. well I dont like hugging people.. i just dont.. like after achieving something amazing.. or saying hello/goodbye... i just HATE giving hugs and try to avoid them.. like.. i dont know.. I think i'm just afraid... is there like something wrong with me??

I guess it would depend on what you are afraid of! Not everyone is into all the touchy feeley things. Could be you are just one of those people. Does this include family and current or future boyfriend? If so, you might have a problem with that last one. If you are very concerned seek counseling. :)
|
|
I love my boy friend so much! He is one of the best things that has happened to me in a LONG time. I just moved more than 30 minutes away from him. My parents almost never give me a ride over there and no one in his house will give him a ride unless we pay them money. I love him but I feel like we are just growing apart. Should I break up with him or just see how things go? (link)
| |
You do what seems right for you. Maybe you can get part time jobs and help pay for gas. Good luck :)

Here's the deal.
I have been single for about a month now, and it really sucks, I don't feel lonely so much, but at the same time, I am really lonely. I just need help meeting guys and getting them to like me and everything, something I've done before, I just don't know what to look for anymore. I guess I just need help finding a good guy, someone better than my past relationships. I have to get back into the single life I guess you could say. 14/f.
Signed,
Lost Mojo (link)

Sounds like your ready to get back in there. Good luck!

When ever I like a guy.. they like me a lill bit and then they just like 1 of my BFF.. I am popular in my school and have a bunch of friends! but why is it whenever me n a guy start to get to know each other.. oneof my friend comes along n he starts to like her? is there anything I can do to keep a guy hooked? n to stay likeing me?
Sincerely,
Confused Lover (link)
| |
Just be yourself. I don't know how you can keep one on the hook. You just haven't met the right one yet. I think I'd keep all friends away from the next one until you know you have a good grip on him!

I'm sorry guys because I just didn't know what to title this. I'm a 14 year old female and I've been having some problems lately and I was hoping you guys could help me figure out what to do. While I was out to dinner with my youth pastors, I accidentally let it slip that I cut myself. After that, they were all worried and concerned and stuff. I didn't quite see what the big deal was at the time because I'm not trying to kill myself, I just like the way it feels and it really helps me through the hard times. Well, one of my youth pastors has been checking up on me recently and I don't want to tell her, but I cut. She tells me I can call her if I ever need anything or if I ever want to talk, but I find it somewhat hard to do that. I just feel like I'm slipping away from God, my friends, and just everybody. I don't know what to do. I keep lying to her and telling her I'm not doing it, but the truth is, I've done it one time since we've started talking about it. I don't want to tell her because I know if I do, she'll make me tell my parents and there is enough drama going on in my home life that I don't need to bring this into the mix. I know I shold probably go see a therapist, but I don't like the thought of sitting in a stranger's office and telling them what's wrong with my life because then I feel like a crybaby and it would just be weird to tell a stranger that kind of stuff. I'm just at a loss of what to do because my youth pastors think I'm a good kid and stuff, but they don't know the stuf that I'm hiding from them. I guess my questions are: should I tell them? if so, what should I say? how can I get 'reunited' with God? I would really appreciate your answers. Thanx in advance! (link)
|
Yes you tell. Everything. Cutting doesn't make you a bad person, don't even think that. But, you need help and someone to talk to. Going to a therapist and telling what you are feeling Does not make you a crybaby either. It would be weird at first sure, but it is something you need. Start with the youth pastors and just let loose.
Good luck. :)
