whenever i lean over when i'm sitting, like at school and i'm leaning over a paper, when i look at my stomach in the bathroom theres like a line going over my belly button and above it. i'm thin and this just happens when i lean over. how can i stop this

hey. dont worry this happens to me too! so you are not the only one. it is just your muscle folding over. you can suck in when you bend over, but my best advice would just be to forget about it. it happens to everyone, and as long as you are thin you have nothing to worry about. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

can exercising throw off your period?? i stopped playing basketball in december & then around march i juss ran & weightlifted so i was doing something. our practices started & we started playing basketball. 2 of the practices i started bleeding randomly & i'm a day off on my period, but i'm starting to get random pain in my armpits, bellybutton, leg, that feels like shooting pain kinda like before you get your period but it stopped. can exercising mess up your cycle??

hey. it is possible for your period to stop when you are exercising a lot. once you start getting back to your normal schedule, it will start up again. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

does anyone know that song that goes something like... "i miss you so. youve been gone forever."
i dunno, something along those lines. thanks in advance

hey. this song is called, "where'd you go" by Fort Minor. the lyrics are::

Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you've been gone

She said somedays I feel like shit
Somedays I wanna quit and just be normal for a bit
I don't understand why you have to always be gone
I get along but your trips always feel so long
And I find myself trying to stay by the phone
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone
But I feel like an idiot, working my day around a call
And when I pick up I don't have much to say, so

I want you to know its a little fucked up that
I'm stuck here waiting, at times debatin
Telling you that I've had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here singing

Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you've been gone
Please Come back home

You know, the place you used to live
Used to barbeque with burgers and ribs
Used to have a little party every halloween
with candy by the pile but now
you only stop by every once in a while
Shit
I find myself just filling my time
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
I'm doing fine and I'm plannin' to keep it that way
You can call me if you find that you have something to say
And I'll tell you

I want you to know its a little fucked up that
I'm stuck here waiting, at times debating
Telling you that I've had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here singing

Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you've been gone
Please Come back home

I want you to know its a little fucked up that
I'm stuck here waiting, no longer debatin'
Tired of sittin and hatin' and making these excuses
For why you're not around, and feeling sorta useless
It seems that one thing has been true all along
You don't really know what you've got till its gone
I guess I've had it with you and your career
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it

Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you've been gone
Please Come back home

Please come back home
Please come back home
Please come back home
Please come back home

hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

ok so im sorry if this is a stupid question but does putting on sunscreen before you go outside to tan prevent you from getting tan? im using SPF 30 and it doesn't seem like im getting tan. im pretty white so i burn easily so what kind of sunscreen should i use if i do want to get a tan?

hey. if you put sunscreen on before you go outside, that does not prevent you from getting a tan. it is just to protect your skin from harmful rays. my advice would be to use a SPF 10-15 sunscreen. when you go outside to tan, stay out for about 20 minutes, come inside or about 5 minutes and then go back out. repeat this. this will allow your skin to soak in the rays so you wont get burnt. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

I like this guy and he knows it. We dont know eachother that well. My situation with him is really uncomfrotable because once he found out from my friend he told all his friends and now they stare at me. One of his friends(I swear to god this boy is gay and wants my crush) is ruining every chance that i even had with him. He shouts out "there she is!" "or go say hi" or "Oooohhh" or something equally stupid.Well at first it was cute b/c he would just stand up and smile at me and he was always blushing now its pretty lame cause his friend even got tampons then threw it at my crush and yelled "its from your girlfriend". Now its harder to talk to him he still looks at me but so do all of his friends and it makes me nervous he is never ever alone. If i even come near his one really annoying friend will definately embarass me. What should i do? Im always being put on the spot when im near him. Also I have no idea what to say to him so if you could give me some tips in case i ever do get him alone.

hey. this is a hard question, but i will try my best. i think that the best thing to so would be to go up to the boy that is making fun of you and tell him to stop. say that you dont appreicate what he is doing to you. ask him if he would want someone doing that to him if he liked someone. tell him that you think that he is acting like a jerk and he should stop it because what goes around comes around. did you ever find out if your crush liked you? it may sound crazy but maybe the "gay" guy likes you too. you should call/talk to your crush and ask him if he likes you. ask if he thinks this whole thing is stupid. you can ask him to talk to his friend and see what his problem is. if you do get alone with him, the best thing to do is to just act natural. talk about school, sports, or something that you have in common. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

For school I need to find some songs about the Earth just starting to begin for the first time. Can anyone name some songs about the earth beginning or something like that? It can have words. And I have to dance to this song. I'll rate all 5's.

Even if you can't think of any, atleast try.

hah. this is a very hard question. but i will try my best. first of all, do you mind if they are religious, or are you just sticking to the scientific creation? there are a few songs that i have in mind. "He's got the whole world in His hands". there is another song that you can look at (it has to deal with god though): http://www.dltk-bible.com/genesis/creation_song.htm
i tried my best! hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

I asked a question maybe 4 months ago. I got lots of answers. I just recently rated the answers, though. Do the ratings that I gave them count toward their average rating, or are they passed the one month time limit?

I am 16 years old and im overweight..i weight almost 200lbs. I feel really bad about it and i was wondering if anyone had any dieting tips or anything on how i could loose weight before the summer is over...THANKS!!!

hey. the best thing that i would recommend is drinking PLENTY of water (6-8 full glasses a day). you have to advoid unhealthy eating habits, like junkfood inbetween meals, or eating junkfood at all. try to eat smaller meals. if you go out to eat, bet a foodbox ahead of time and put about half of your food in there and save it for another meal. it is proven that restaraunt meals are twice as big as what they were 20 years ago. excerise is key. teens need at least 60 minutes of physical activity a DAY. it can be running, playing a sport, swimming, hiking, walking a dog, etc. make sure to drink plenty of water when you excerise too. here is a site that you can check out. it has some great links:

I was invited to a large party that takes place this weekend. I said that I'd go, because of the occasion and the person who is throwing it, but I really do not want to stay for a long time. First of all, I am not much of a party person. I usually just sit there by myself while being bored out of my mind. Second of all, I'm not much of a people person. There are going to be a LOT of people there. I really don't want to have to be around that many people for too long, especially since I hate most of them. Normally I leave parties with the excuse of not feeling well or something like that, but certain people (although not everyone) are starting to catch on. I need some good excuses to leave a party that do not involve being sick.

hey. first of all, what time is the party, cause that could effect your excuse. but here is a list that you can use:
- dentist appointment
- you have to babysit your baby cousin and they are desperate
- you can go, but only stay for like 30 minutes
- you are going to be busy this whole weekend and you need to do your homework
- your parents have to go someplace and you dont have a ride

if these dont work then maybe you just should go. if you arent a party/people person, this is a great time to become one! you might even make some new friends! hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

ive known this guy for a while and i recently started to like him. we flirt all the time and it always seems like he likes me. ive gotten various people to ask him, his answer is that he likes me and his x & that hes confused. i kno his x has a boyfriend and that she doesnt like him at all ne more. should i just forget about him i really like him but i dont want to wait foever for him to make up his mind to ask me out.
we did hook up at the movies tho....

hey. it seems to me that you should take the first move in this situation. he said that he likes you! guys can be attracted to a different girl, as long as he likes his girlfriend better and he doesnt let things get out of control. i would go ahead and ask him out. you might as well considering his ex has a boyfriend. you can start out by asking him to go out sometime (like the movies again), or you could go out for ice cream ;p. good luck. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥
