whats going on i am looking for a work out that i could do a couple times a week to boost my strength and endurance. I play hockey I would like to focus on my legs and sholder strength. thanks for any tips or work out. (link)
something that is good for you legs is if you stand straght against a wall..adn jsut bend you knees with you back against teh wall and jsut move down closer to the floor, stop moving...adn jsut sit there for like 10 seconds and then you stand back up nd you do it like 10 times..and it builds up strenght in you legs...and for any otehr exercizes..you can jsut jog for about a half hour 3-4 times a week and that would help with that...good luck the the exercieses..

i basiclly like a really popular guy. hes friends with everyone all the cliques too. hes amazing. but i'm the type, well, that doesnt get noticed casue i'm not in any clique. i've talk to him online bout music but never in person except for maybe a thing like " can i borrow a pencil." i really want to get to know him but i dont want it to be obvious i like him though. so what should i do? thx (link)
you know waht...who cares what clique he is in...it shouldn't matter...as long as you ike him for him and maybe he will like you for you. and for getting to knwo him better...why don\'t you keep asking for a pencil and then you can branch a question about him..or a conversation off of that. you never know what will happen untill it happens.. life is unpredictabble..and you have to jsut take chances. i mean...life is always about chances and experiencing with things...this is the thing you experiment with. just try and make yourslef hapy...but dont' be to crushed if he doesn\'t like to talk to you or anything..because he is popular and you not as much. just be yourself around him and maybe he will see the real you and love it. just try out new things and if it doesn\'t work then don\'t do it again. ask him different questions and stuff about life...or if you say you talk to him online then just ask hime questions about himslef on there...adn if you get talkingthen he will ask you stuff about your life and it might jsut bring you closer together. it is fun stuff..so good luck and i hope it all turns out well.

okay so this guy who i like likes me back. his name is billy. he is this really hot guy who is like emo but he doesn't cut himself or anything. okay so today at school his best friend came to school totally stoned and the teachers noticed and he got taken to juvey. i talked to him about it on the bus today and he explained to me what had happened and everything, and then i asked him if he did drugs. he said no that he would never do that. im not really sure if i should believe him or not because it was his best friend and all of his other friends do it. im not sure if i should believe him or not. i really dont want to go out with someone who does drugs, but how do i no if he does them or not? anything will help! (link)
You might as well just go out with him...and trust him,..i mean that is what friends do...is trust eachother. Just go out with him and if you find out that he is lieing to you then tell him that you don't wnat to be with someone who does that. Just test it out. I mean you will never know because he already gave you his answer nad you should jsut be able to trust him for that. Many people have friends that do drugs but it doesn't nessesarly mean he does it. Maybe he is teh good guy in the croud to keep everyone in control and make sure his friends are ok, you never know. So just give it a shot and if it doesn't work out then just dump him. It is all apart of experiences and thisis one of them. So good luck and i hope he isn't what you think he is.

I have a friend, and she has been my best friend for seven years. Recently, we got in a huge fight, and we weren't talking for three weeks. So i thought we were done being friends. I took her completely off of my top friends on myspace, and she called me crying when she found out. So i put her back on. But while i wasn't talking to her, i started a really good friend ship with another girl, and we became better friends then me and the other girl ever were. Now that me and my original bff are okay again, she thinks were bff's again, when really the other girl is the better friend. But the two don't get along, and expect me to be their best friend. Im so confused. (link)
Everyone can have more then one best friend. It is a good thing to have more then one even if they don'[t like eachother. It is ok..as long as you don't put them together or get them into fights. If you like them both then keep it the way it is even tho they are compleatly different. You can still be friends with both..it doesn't matter what the others do to eachother, as longas you are happy with what is going on. You can try to make them become friends but don't force it. If they don't wnat to be friends with eachother then just keep them seperate but close to you. It will all work out in the end. Good luck

theres this really hott guy at school. I really like him, not just for his hottness but for his personality. hes really shy and so am i. what should i say? i cant just go up to him and talk to him. i always chicken out.

Aksjfij! i cant talk to himmm!
and i really need to!
what do i say?
HOW? (link)
Just start off small. Take small steps. What you have to do...if he is in any of your classes...jsut ask him a question on your work and ask if you could borrow a pencil. And then if you see him later in the day..go up to him and say sorry i forgot to give you your pencil back, here you go..and then it could jsut start off a conversation. Just be confident in yourself even though it is hard to do. Just be positive and go for it. It is hard to do because you are so shy but once you do it, you will be happy you put yourself out there. Good Luck!

ok well i am at a loss
so i have liked a guy for over 2 years
i was told he doesnt like me so it is just a matter of getting over him...which i havin trouble doing...but then there is this other guy...i have liked him before like on and off for well we are kinda talking again...i want to talk to him more but he seems like a big flirt and player...i just dont want to really fall for him because i dont want to have to deal with it if he decideds he doesnt like me...i have the problem with the guy i cant get over who i have liked for over 2 years and i really dont want another one of those...o ya and the guy i talking to is playing hard to get...what should i do?? (link)
i say that if you take your mind off the first kid, the one you have liked for over 2 years, and you start to like this new kid, then you will get over him. The on and off again kid seems nice and if you think you like him then you should just talk to him and get to knwo him more and stuff and maybe he will fall for you. You never know..but all this is just experiences that everyone will go through so it is ok. Just be yourself and show the guy who you really are. And that one that you have liked for over 2 years, that is a long time and it is probally time in which you just need a little more time to forget about him. Just move on and don't worry bout the risks of liking a guy. Your heart will get broken one of this times...so get used to it. This is what happens..it is jsut natural for people to go and cry if they get dumped or if you get regected..but it happens all the time so jsut get out htere and go for it..as long as you don't rush things, everything will work out like magic..good luck and i hope i helped you make up your mind.


14 m freshman there is this girl in the same grade as me and we talk here and there i like her but the only real thing that is holding me back is her friend i have asked her out before and she said no so if i ask this one it would feel weird dating because her friend doesn't really like me. What should i do? (link)
I say that you should go for it. It isn't a big deal what other people think as long as the person you asked out likes you. I don't really think it has a big impact on the fact that ou want to go out with this girl. I say you should just go for it and see waht happens. I mean the worst that could happen is for her to say no, but that is al apart of the experience of love. You just need to try it. Take a chance and go for it. It is no big deal. Becaues if you don't take this chance then this person might actually like you and you will never know because you were worried. So just go for it. GOod luck and hopefully you get the right answer from her.

one of my "Best" friends,lucy, just got a bf like a week ago or something. two of our other mutual "best" friends - alexa and lisa - talk to him sometimes but rn't really friends with him; i am the same. well his cousin had like a party a cuple weeks ago. supposedly he was like to lucy "yea u and alexa and lisa can come" or something so they all kinda lied to me about it so "my feelings wouldnt get hurt." i confronted them ab it, and i thot it was a one time thing. then tonight he was like to her "yeahh maybe u and alexa and lisa can come over my house." i think he just says there names because they went to the other party, and they are just 2 of her friends that he thinks of off the top of his head. so lucy aclled me and like told me that. and ugh

it sucks tho, because now im sitting here alone on a sat night. all of my other friends have plans.
i don't get it, why can't she just be like to him " can ___ (my name) come too?"
it really makes me upset.. i would do it for her, and its not that big of a deal to just ask if one other person can go. any best friend would do it for their friend. im sure he wouldnt mind. unless she has like another reason for not wanting me to go, but i cant think of one. what do i do? (link)
Why dont' you jsut be upfront to her and talk to her about it. Just tell her the truth and say that i dont' think taht you are being very truthful and stuff because it really hurts your feelings. I bet she would understand and if she doesn't then he jsut isn't what you need anyway. If she is now trying to just leave you alone then you dont' need her, she is jsut being a mand friend. But ithink tha tshe is just caught up in the whole thing and that she needs to get pulled out. She doesn't relize that she is hurting ur feelings so jsut talk to her and tell her how you feel and what is going on...good Luck

I am a 14 year old girl who has a boy firend and likes him a lot. I also have this best friend and we dating a lot we have been going on and off for two years. I really really like this guy now and i want to be serous with him now. But has a girl friend. We already admitted we liked each other. But we both are pretty serious with our relationships. But I seem to like him more than he like me. How do I get him to break up with his girl friend for me?? (link)
My opinion, is that you shouldn't force someone to break up with their girlfriend just to b with him, because if you do that then he will begin to lose respect for you and he will nevefr be your boyfriend. If you really want him then you will give him his space and let him break up with her when he feels he is ready to move on to you or jsut take a break. Just don't gett in the midle of the action or it will turn out bad and you will end up in a bad akward situation. Just be yourself around him and act a little more flirty around him and he will get the hint and stuff but dont' puch it or something bad might come out of this. Just do what you can and try not to split them up no matter how much you want to. it probally isn't a wise choice. Just tell him how you feel and if he feels the same way then he will break up with his girl and he will move on. Good luck

ok so theres this guy. he doesnt go to my school. but i guess that doesnt really mattter. anyways, he used to like me sooo much. like it was crazy how much he liked me. (im not bragging or anything here im just trying to explain my story haha). so anyways, i could get him to do like anything. it was pretty funny and i had fun w/ it for awhile. i guess it like made me feel special or whatever. the thing is i liked him a little bit at one point..i mean i might have liked him the whole time im not really sure bc i knew i would never be able to tell my friends i liked him..too embarrassing (long story..basically my friends would make fun of me, and also this guy is like best friends with my ex which yeah i know is also bad). but most of the time i felt like i was just leading him on. which yeah i know was bad.. but i couldnt help it he was just soo much fun to talk to and i really really really liked him, but just as a friend. but then like a week ago he told me he liked this other girl he met..then by the time we were done talking on the phone he told me he liked me again too. but he knew i didnt like him. and this other girl did. so then a few days ago he started going out with this other girl. like i thought it wouldnt bother me.. but honestly it kinda does. like ive been thinking about him more and stuff. he used to call me and text me like every day but now he only does a little.. obviously bc he has a girlfriend. so do you think i actually like him? or just miss the attention? and what do you think i should do? keep talking to him or just stop until hes done with that girl? help! (link)
Well if u think about a guy a lot hten tha most likely means that you like him. And even tho you like the attension, you still liked the boy too..at least i think you do. I don't think you should stop talking to him or that wojuldn't be fair. Just go along with what he is doing and try and get a little back in his life but not enough to scare his girlfriend away. You don't want to do that or he wouldnt respect you. SO i think you should still be friends with him and jsut pretend that everything is the same as it always has been. Just be normal and he will respect you for giving him the space. Just be yourself and dont' give up. Hope everything turns out ok. good luck

16/F/160-ish cm/145 lbs

As the title says, I want to lose weight. Not to look disgustingly skinny, but to look healthy and less flabby before spring or before softball season because I always get to the base a few seconds after the ball has been caught [I can run just as fast as my much skinnier friends]

I guess an appropriate goal would be 15-20 lbs (or a size 5 in jeans, currently a 7) because I want to still be proportionate and not a bobble head.

I do not have access to a gym since the only gym equipment that my school has is for the weight training class (the class is only for males, haha), and I have no means of transportation to a community gym (like YMCA). I lost 4 pounds over the summer but gained it back because of school and homework, which sucks.

I have a dog who gets exercise atleast once a week (because of school), which I guess is bad since a lot of dog owners walk their dogs on alternate days in my neighbourhood, but he's not fat/obese (finicky eater). Supposedly the breed he is adaptable to various exercise levels. So if anyone could give me a good time range, and types of cardio exercises (running, jogging, walking, etc.) to do with him, that would be awesome.

On a side note before I continue, I read somewhere that running can cause cellulite or sagging, is that true?

Also if anyone could recommend foods for a healthy diet (no crash diets, special k diets, or fad diets please) that would also help a lot.

Thanks~
(link)
Well if you want exercize to do my yourself then jsut do like 50 situps per night and you will lose weight, that helps. and cardo workouts, if you fun up to 30 minutes about 3 times a week..not more then 4 tho. You don't want to over work yourself. But around a half hour would be the expected time. As for diets, you might just want to cut down on the sugar and fat. That is all pretty much i can tell you. You can stop drinking pop, and drink water, milk, and juice, and then you should jsut eat more friets and vegtables and stop wit hthe junk food and ice cream. Just don't think about whta you look like and jsut make yourself happy. Good luck with everything and i hope you get to lose weight in the time you want.

How much do lenses normally cost for eye glasses? (link)
It doesn't cost that much. a lot cheaper then the frames. They are usually around 30-50 dollars i think.

Here is my problem ok well I really liked this one guy lets call him M in middle school and high school he never really talked to me but he knew that I liked him. I think he was one of those boys that wouldn't go out with someone unless his friends approved or the girls he would go out with was always jocks or blondes. But the thing is it has been a few years since we had any contact with each other you see I would write to him notes and letters but he never responded. He was told that I liked him and once I had one of my cousins call him and ask if he liked me back and he said "yeah I think she's pretty". Now years later I found him on MySpace and he accepted me as a friend and we have been getting along but he doesn't reall contact me I gave him my cell and he doesn't call. Meanwhile there is this other guy L that use to be his friend and we found out that we have alot in common and we are getting along as friends. I don't know if I should concentrate on the other guy instead of M because L and I like each other too. What Should I Do? (link)
You should go with L because u have already given M a chance. Nothin has happened in the years that you have known him. Just give L a chance and if you don't like it then it was nothing to lose, but you might find out hat L is athe perfect guy for you and you have found a wonderful person. If you judt ignore L then you might be missing a great opertunity for yourself. Good luck.

Ok im 15/m and i have a bestfreind whos 15/f, well i am a very quiet guy and calm but she is the complete opposite and shes always dressing sluty, i dont like her.

Although sometimes she cool most of the times i hate her.

I only see her as a regular freind not as anything else, I dont know what to do,

weve been freinds for 3 years and ive not liked her for 2 years

anyone have any ideas on what to do, and dont tell bull**** like give her a chance cause i cant be freinds with someone i dont like (link)
Why don't you just talk to her. You can just tell her that you don't like the way that she acts some of the times. You jsut need to talk to her and tell her the truth. You can tell her waht is bugging you, or you can just start to be distant with her. Which might give her the hint that something is wrong and that you need your space. Or you could tell erh that you don't like the change that she is now from what she was before. The only thing you dont' wnat to do is to totally ignore her because that would be mean. unless if you do that then she wouldn't like you anymore and that would be and eaiser way to just not be her friend is to not talk to her. It isn't the nicest way to do it but you can do it. Just try and tell her the truth and good luck. hopefully everything goes right.

Ok so theres this one guy at my school. He's a player... I guess... last year he was in most of my classes... we talked, and he asked me out, but all I knew of him was his rep as a player, so I said in a nice way, no. Now this year, he stares, and trys to talk to me a lot. Does he still like me? Or what? All my friends say he stares, not a little bit, but like every chance he gets.
And at the last dance, he was talking to a couple girls and it looked like he was done, I asked him, and one of his friends came up and said "Do it..." but he said "I would, but I'm dancing with her". Does he like me or what? (link)
Boys are sometimes really hard to read. You think they like you and they don't or you dont' think they like you but they really do. In this case, i think he likes you. There is manythings in which hint the fact that he does. The only bad thing about this is that if he really is a player. You have to becareful with those types of boys, but if you want to give him a chance then go for it but know what you are getting in tne end good luck.
~sealgirl~


what do you do when there is nothing left to do does it end or do you think of the next thing to do i really wnat to know because iv done it all and know i dont know what to do im thinking of ending it but im not sure what should i do thanks (link)
ok...this question is a little hard to understand but i think i get it. Ok when tehre is nothing left to do then nothing can be done. YOU cant' just sit around thinking of something to do if you have already sat and thought about it. The truth is taht you just need to move on. You thought about it, tryed and it never worked teh way you planed to you move on. So if you are talking about a relationship that you think you want to end because it is going nowwhere, just do it even if you still like the person. If you have done all you can to try and keep it alive, then u should just move on. Something can't be done if you have tryed everything to fix it..then there is nothing you can do..
If this doesn't answer the question you asked then you can ask another in which i will answer but be more clear. Good luck with your problem and i hope this helps.

My hands are always cold. Do I have bad circulation? How do I fix this? (link)
you probally do have bad circulation. i dont' think there is a way to fix it but u should go to the doctor to have it checked out incase something is wrong. well don't get to cold
~sealgirl~



I can't stop wasting time. For example, I can talk for 6,7, hours non-stop with the people that I love. I'm not social or anything , except with the people that I'm very close to.
This non-stop talking has made me fall very behind in my schoolwork.
How do I resist the urge to talk so that I can at least pass this year ? (link)
what you can do is turn off all comunication devices and just lock yourself in a room with no phones or anything and just study. as long as there is no distractions then you should be fine. Just be sure that you don't have a phone or your cell next to you so you can't recive text messages and things.. don't go on the computer. just focus on ur school work and stuff and you will do fine..good luck

hey..see i love this guy who lives 2 or so hours away from me..we used to go out but he dumped me because he couldnt handle the long distance..i was devasted and..its been 2 years but im stil not over him ,then one day he phoned me and said he wanted to be friends..but i know he has feeling for me and recently admitted he loved me..but doesnt want to form a relationsip because he feels it will be too hard...what should i do??? move on? or keep hopin?i really need advice please!!...ps i am 17 yr old girl (link)
You know..you r only 17..u have plenty of time to find someone else. but if you really like him then go for it. long distant relationships don't always work but if you love him, or he loves you then i am sure it would work out. if you both are into it then it will work as long as there is a good conection. good luck and i hope everything works out the way it should. and by the way, dont' get upset about it if it doesn't work. it has been a while since you talked and stuff so even tho he is far away don't give up if you really care about him. your choice to decide but the wise thing is to jsut follow your heart and do what you believe. good luck
~sealgirl~


Okay, I'll try to make this short.
*
I'm 15/F
*
There's this guy named Taylor, he's 17 and we've always been really good friends ever since school started this year. We have two classes together; Show Choir and theatre production. Last month our choir conductor/teacher chose us to do a duet together for our next show. The whole show was kind of rockin' roll/grease themed (and he's really good singer) Anyways we got together a lot to practice and we were together a lot for rehearsal...so we got really close. He started flirting with me a lot according to other people I was flirting back? Anyway I started really liking him as more than a friend.

Yesterday at rehearsal he asked me out...and I said yes. The problem is he'll be my first boyfriend. Guys have asked me out before but I've never really liked any of them, and I've gone out with guys but they were never my boyfriend.

I don't know how to act around him now? How are girlfriends supposed to act? What am I supposed to do? I'm really nervous and I don't want to screw up? He's been in relationships before but I haven't...any advice? What a good girlfriend should do? What I should expect at school? (link)
The only thing you really need to know is to just be yourself. you should never change for a guy so don't do anything different then what you usually do. Just hold hands in school is the only thing that would be different. but there is nothing that you should change or act like. just be yourself, that is who he asked out, not a compleatly different person right? so jsut be cool and have fun...that is all you need. and by the way, school should most likely be the same. nothing really changes except teh feelings for eachother. just be yourself. good luck
