Q: I'm 14 and going into the 9th grade. Guys pressure girls to have sex and I might be ready but I dont want to be called a slut. What should I do?

I definitely wouldn't have sex if you're not ready and if you don't want to be called a slut then you probably shouldn't anyway. You should wait until you're older. Maybe even wait until you're married. I had sex for the first time when I was 17. I married the guy that I did that with but I regret doing it before I married him because it wasn't as special on our wedding night. Really consider your feelings on this before you jump into bed with someone. I hope this helps!

Well, first off, you want to watch your calorie intake. Don't eat past 7pm and if you need snacks then snack on fruits and veggies. Secondly, you need to get exercise. Walking everyday for at least 30 minutes will help. Also, I recommend doing leg lifts. Those are where you lay on one side and bring your leg up and down. I recommend starting out with 30 on each leg but if you think you can do more then go for it! Another thing I recommend is arm curls. For those, small weights will help but you bring your arms down in front of you and keeping your elbows still you bring the weights up to your chest. I would start out with 50 on each arm. Also, crunches or situps will help you and one last thing I recommend is stretching before you go to bed. That might help you to sleep better and as your sleeping your burning fat as well. I hope this helps and good luck!

Q: my boy friend cheated on me. should i dump him? hes really srry and i really like him but i dont think he should get away with it

I would definitely give him another try. It sounds like you don't want to let go of him and if he's really sorry then it wouldn't hurt to give him another chance. It might be hard to trust him for a while so I would just watch him carefully to make sure he's not going to cheat again. I hope this helps and good luck!

You have nothing to worry about. Honestly, some girls don't even start until they are 16 so just relax and it will come before you know it and belive me when it hits you'll wish it never did. ;-) I hope this helps!

Well, as far as working out, that doesn't really matter when you do it. I prefer to do it all in the evening though. Stretching can help in a way to lose weight. I recommend doing stretches right before bed. They will help you to sleep better and that's when you burn fat. I hope this helps!

Q: ((I'm 15/f))I think i am ready for sex but im not all that sure cause sometimes i think about it and think that i might regret it in the future. I REALLY like this guy tho. Also, I'm kinda scared that it will hurt really bad and i'm scared that i might not know what to do. What do u think?

I honestly think you should wait. Wait until that special person comes into your life. Wait until you're married, otherwise, you'll regret it. I was 17 when I first had sex and, yes, I married that person but I regret it because the night of my wedding it wasn't as special as it could have been. Your first time having sex will hurt and you'll bleed from it a little but after that it doesn't hurt. I hope this helps!

Well, honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with liking and being in the rain. In fact, I love the rain and my husband loves to just be in it all the time. I mean, I can understand if there was a tornado coming, lol, but being in the rain is not bad. I hope this helps!

I know this may be hard to understand but you or she or both need to tell somebody. If she's too scared at least offer to be there when she does tell somebody. Let her know that you're there for her but if she doesn't this may happen again. I hope this helps!

This is not abnormal to not have your period yet. Some girls don't get it until they are 16. It just depends on your body. I hope this helps!

Q: I hate basketball. well i don't hate it i just dont like it very much. Everyonr says I should play even our school's coach but i don't know. im 5'7 so they say ill be a good rebounder or defender??? but i cant shot! i miss everything! should i play?
|

If you don't like the sport very much then I wouldn't do it if I were you. Rebounders and defenders are a strong part of the team though. When I played basketball in school I was a great rebounder and it definitely helped the team but I really was not a good shooter. Anyway, if you don't like the sport though then don't do it because you won't have as much fun. I hope this helps!

No, you don't need to clean your hamster. Hamsters, actually, know how to clean themselves so you don't need to worry about it. I hope this helps!

Well, I'm sure that every doctor handles their patients differently but my orthodontist told me I have to wear my retainer for the rest of my life. He said that eventually once I get older I won't have to wear it as much but I have to wear it for the rest of my life. I hope this helps!

You definitely should ignore it. I used to be teased when I was in school for the same thing. You just have to ignore it and eventually it will stop. They'll get sick of saying the same thing over and over. I hope this helps!

You can get fat if you constantly drink 2% or whole milk but if you drink 1% or skim milk then you won't gain any weight. I always suggest drinking 16oz of milk a day if it's 1% or skim because it's really good for you. I hope this helps!
