I'm a fourteen year old girl from California. I'm a rabid liberal/feminist an a writer. I've been through cutting, and I'll try not to give bad advice. Ask me whatever you like . . . I'm not so good on romance questions, with a lack of any significant experience, but I'm good on everything else.

I'm 5'1.5", 13, and weigh 85lbs, tats right on track, right? (link)
| |
No, that's underweight! You can type in "BMI calculator" on google to find out more about your BMI. Get your parents to take you to a doctore.

i want to go see a movie with my mom because we dont get to see eachother much anymore and like yeah well what new movie do you think we should go see? (link)
| |
Shrek 2 or Harry Potter 3. I think HP3 is actually better. Both those movies are great to see with your mum because there's no sitting around feeling uncomfortable during sex scenes and kissing. And my parents loved Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, even though they haven't read the books. Shrek 2 is also quite amusing.

Im anorexic, i dont know how to stop, i try to eat, but when i do i throw it up, i was on a diet to loose weight but i dont want to loose to much, im 13, 5'6, i did weight 122 pounds and now i weigh 78, i think im at the perfect weigh, but im feeling tired and lightheaded and my face is pale, i really need help and im afraid to tell anyone :( (link)
| |
You really, really need to tell someone. Talk to whichever parent you feel will understand you the best first, and have them take you to the doctor. Anorexia (not eating) and Bulimia (throwing up what you do eat) are serious mental illnesses that can land you in the hospital. On top of that, you can get tooth decay from throwing up often. So please, talk to a doctor.

Work out. Muscle weighs more than fat. I would take some sort of class, like spinning or gymnastics. I'm not sure about the spinning, but I can personally tell you that gymnastics works. I've been doing it for two years. I've stayed the same clothing size, but my weight has gone up.

(link)

The song is called Bitch, and it is sung by Meredith Brooks in her album, "Bluring the Edges"

I think im addicted to cutting.... and i like it but i want to stop.... how do i stop? (My parents know and im not talking to a damn physcologist)

Having been in a similar situation, I would advise you to talk to a therapist. I've managed to stop even thinking about cutting whenever I get sad, and I do go to therapy.
If you can't or really, really, really don't want to find a therapist, then here are some things that worked for me:
•Put yourself if situations where hiding your cuts could get awkward. This makes it uncomfortable enough that you'll think twice before cutting.
•Whenever you want to cut, try really hard not to. Distract yourself by reading, playing on the computer, or going to sleep if you can.
•Read up on cutting on the internet. Google around and you should find lots of stuff on it. Looking at your problem from a different perspective could help you see your cutting differently.
Hope I helped.

i write really good poems and i want 2 get them in a published book but i dont kno how, can sum1 help me (link)
| |
Start small. Post your stuff on fictionpress.com and look for poetry contests and webzines that take submissions. Get involved with creative writing clubs and classes, which often publish their own books and can provide oppurtunities to get your stuff published in a real book.

Hi ummm everytime Im on the beach playing Vollyball Im in my bikni, and boys just keep trying to get my attintion alot!! umm and it makes me feel weird, why is that??? Im 15/fm (link)
|
It just means that you look great!
As to WHY it makes you feel weird, I'm not certain. If you haven't had that much experience with guys, it could be because all the attention they're giving you in a way that is associated to something (romance) that you know very little about.
If you have had some experience, I'm really not sure . . . maybe it's because you're randomly paranoid (like me) and can't help but think that one of the guys may turn out to be a rapist or a serial killer.

ok i'm really short like 5'0 and I think I'm over really weight I'm about 125-130:-/ and I want to get myself bad into shape. Do you think I'm honestly over weight? Can you tell me some workouts that can help me?
I'm swimming alot now and getting back into doing a lot of crunches every day. But I need more to do. Plus I'm trying not to eat junk food and eat health (fruits, salads, some veggies) although I don't do good with veggies I don't really like them what do I do in that case? (link)
|
If you're under 127 lbs., you're fine. If you're over that, you're very slightly overweight.
You seem to be doing the right thing so far. You're doing exercise and eating well. Just keep it up!
On the veggies, find one or two vegetable that you really like and eat them. Find ways to eat your veggies with other things, like with pasta. There are some great Pasta Primavera recipes out there!

(link)
|
I'm also 14 years old, and like you, I've never had a boyfriend either. Not even close.
If they're really your friends, they won't say bad thing about you. Tell your closest friends, and, if you're really embarassed, ask them not to tell anyone.

im 13 and 5'4 and weigh 108.. is that ok? (link)
| |
That's absolutely fine, but don't lose anymore weight. Your BMI is exactly 18.5, which is the minimum BMI you should have. I found this at http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm.

| |
According to your BMI, you're underweight, but not by much. You're supposed to be at least 18.5, and you're 17.4. So you're not that underweight, but see a doctor about it.

You are everything to me.

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you

For, you see, each day I love you more,
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.

my room really bites. any ideas on how 2 make it cooler? thx, muah! erin (link)
| |
Paint it in a cool, unusual color. Paint a mural if you like! Posters are great. Get a cool bed spread because your bed is a major part of your room. Put your own artwork up, if you're an artist, and the artwork from when you were little is great too.

im 16, 5'3 and i weight 110 pounds? am i really skinny???????????? answer asap plz (link)
| |
No, you're fine. Your BMI is 19.5, which is quite a comfortable place to be, quite skinny but still very normal and healthy. See it at http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm.

What is the average weight for a 17yr old?My sister is 17 goin on 18 soon, and is 5'3" and ways 86lbs. She is rele skinny and it almost gets me wonderin............ (link)
| |
She's underweight. Her BMI (http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm) is 15.2 and it needs to be at least 18.5! Talk to her about it, or to your parents, and get them to take her to a doctor.
|
|
Hey, I am 13 and i am 5"4 and I weigh 105 pounds...am i too fat for my age and height? All of my friends are always saying I am 2 skinney but i think that i am fat and my doctor says i am skinny for my height but i still think i am fat! what do u think? (link)
|
According to your BMI, you're underweight. It's unheatlthy, and you need to gain weight. Have one of your parents take you to the doctor to decide how to solve the problem.
Your BMI is 18.0 and you need to be at least 18.5. So you're not horribly underweight, and it shouldn't be that hard for you to get back to normal.

ok im a girland today i just found out that my really close cousin thats a guy is bi and i found out today and now i dont kno how to act around him...i mean i feel weird knowin that hes bi and yea...so wut should i do? how do i react to this? (link)
|
He may be bi, but he's still the same person as he always was. Act normal, he's your cousin, you haven't got anything to worry about. If it really bugs you talk to your friends or write about it in a journal. I can understand how this could be very stressful for you -- you're finding out a MAJOR fact about your cousin who you thought you knew -- so don't feel guilty about feeling weird around him.
After a while you'll get used to him being bi and it'll be just fine. I have a friend who found out that a relative of hers was bi. She was a little freaked for a while, but now she's fine with it.

Ok I created an account on here a couple days ago, I loved giving people advice and was so happy! Well when I told my mom what I was doing she kept getting on my case and wanted to know EVERYTHING that I was doing and saying to people. Well then she told my sister and my sister got my mom on her side and they are saying that I shouldn't give people advice b/c it may backfire! Well I mean should I still visit this site and give people advice even if my mom and sister say not too?
P.S.-If it does backfire it wouldn't really be my fault would it? The person didn't have to take the advice, I was just giving them ideas and voicing my opinion right? (link)
|
Yes, keep doing it if you love it!
If id backfires, it's not your fault. They asked for you opinion, and you gave it. If you use this site that's a risk you run.
Tell your mum and your sister that it's not your fault and that you try to give good advice, and they should leave you alone.

Hey everyone, 15/m here and I wanted to get my ears pierced today, both of them. I asked my parents they said fine I could get it done. But right when I was about to be out the door my mom asks "which ear?" then I said both. And she gives me this look and asks "why?". She just goes and asks question after question after question after question and starts talking about what getting your ears pierced mean you're gay or some shit. Hello mom!!! That was last millenium, maybe if I wanted to get just my right ear pierced then that would mean I'm gay, but either way, I'm not, I had a g/f, she's seen her etc. Guys everywhere have both of their ears pierced, I see it in my school, I see it in the NBA, I see it in the NFL, in music videos. I don't know wtf is her prob with it being just my left or both. And I wanna get it done TODAY. What should I do?
PS- Sorry, but as you can tell I'm PISSED. (link)
|
Oddness on your mum's part . . . hmmm.
Explain that the stuff about right ear piercings being gay is idiotic, and cite some examples of guys who have both. Don't get too angry at her, just shrug and say that both ears is considered absolutely fine now.
