I'm 15 and still haven't started my period, is that normal? :/ My mom says she started at like 12, so I figured I would have started early, but I still haven't started...

Totally normal. Most girls start between the ages of 9 and 17.

I'm going back to college, and I was thinking of buying a new perfume. What would you recommend for this age group and for daytime wear? I don't want to smell like an old lady, but I don't want to smell like Curious by Britney Spears either. I guess I'm looking for a daytime perfume for a young woman.

Thank you.

L by Gwen Stefani is really nice, and I think it's perfect for your age.

ok i have been talkin to this guy and he lives REALLY far away. I like him a lot and he likes me a lot. He is a very sensative guy and thats what i like. But were starting to get pretty serious. We both agreed already that we can't have a long distance relationship because face it...those never really work out. the thing is i don't want to stop dating other people and wait for him. But then again i would feel like i was cheating. Do you understand what i'm tryin to get to? I like this guy alot but i can't put my life on hold just for him but yet i feel if i dont i'm going to hurt him and in a way hurt myself. Do you see my dilema? I don't know what to say think or do about it.

I don't really see your dilemma here, actually. But I guess you have 2 options:

1. Date other people.
2. Don't date other people.

With the first, you just date other people. It isn't cheating, because you're not IN a relationship with this guy.

With the second, you wait for him and don't date anybody else. It seems like you want to go with this option more so than the first.

It's really up to you. You just have to decide if you WANT to date other people or not. We can't make the decision for you.

during the schoolyear, i would always feel very tired and exhausted when i'd get back from school. i'd usually go to bed around 11 and wake up at 6, getting back from school around 2:30 - 2:40.

i had a lot of books to carry around this year (couldn't really stop at my locker) so that might have contributed to my lack of energy. by the beginning of 8th period, i'd be pooped, cranky, and exhausted.

i know you can buy energy bars and get more sleep (most days, i'd end up napping for 3-4 hours after i finished my homework) anyway, but what else can i do?

1.) i'll stop at my locker more often this year
2.) go to bed at a reasonable time & wake up as late as possible without being late for school
3.) what about eating? what foods should i eat to help boost up my energy? like, fruit and stuff? especially for breakfast, lunch, and when i get back from school? what vitamins help with energy boosts?

i do not want to take pills / go to my doctor.

thanks

Try adding more iron in your diet:

I hope this helps!

Okay so I've already asked a question regarding organization for school. I went to Staple's and I bought 2 5-Subject notebooks and a binder for math.

I was thinking about using 1 of the 5subject notebooks for Chemistry and English, and then the other for History and French, but I'm not sure how to split it up. Any ideas?

How about whichever classes are close together? ;]

If you run out of paper, you can always buy a new notebook. I just think it would probably be easier for you to take one for your first two classes, and switch to another for your last two.

-Laura (16-f)

Lately, I've had no energy. It's not because of lack of sleep, I've been getting at least 8 hours. I'm actually not sure what it's from. I'm afraid that when school starts (August 28th), I'm not going to be able to wake up (at 5) and have enough energy to go about the day.

I drink coffee on the occasion-only when i'm REALLY tired. Please help!

Have you had your iron levels checked? It's nothing serious, but I had a blood test recently and it showed I had no iron in my blood. I was SO tired, and always cold and sick. So, I'm now taking iron pills and I have SO much more energy.

So, next time you go for a checkup, talk to your doctor. Or, just try adding more iron in your diet =]

I hope this helps!

How do you get rid of anoying friends?

You tell them, honestly, that you don't want to hang out with them anymore. Why lie or make up some elaborate story when you can just tell the truth and get it over with? =/

summers coming to an end and all of a sudden i have 386737892 things to do. im so stressed and i feel like im missing so many things.

what do you do to prepare for school before it starts?

anddd whats your morning routine?

thanks !

I pack all of my school supplies up in my new backpack and pick out my outfit for the first day of school. Cliche, I know, but that's what I do =P
I also try to start waking up earlier about 2 weeks before school starts. Every morning, I wake up a little earlier. I started at 7:45, then went to 7:30, then 7:15, etc etc.

My morning routine is usually;
1. Wake up and open my blinds/make my bed.
2. Wash my face.
3. Get dressed and do my hair.
4. Eat breakfast/take my vitamin.
5. Brush my teeth and get my stuff ready.
6. Make my lunch for school.
7. Leave for school.

in your opinion, which is better: an ipod or a zune? also, which lasts longer? i need a new one and i want something that will last me years.

I personally like iPods better.

I've never had a Zune, but I have an iPod now. It just seems like iPods/iTunes is easier to use than the Zune and whatever software it comes with.

-Laura (16-f)

when you have mono, how long does it last? how long do you have to wait until you can go to school? can you go out to places when you have it?

Please use Google next time:

I want to be an actress and i can't find any theaters that have musicals/plays comming up for me to participate in.

I looked in the phone book and online but it came up blank. i'm out of options where can i find some?

I live in Illinois about 30 min. from Chicago, in Naperville. So i don't really wnat a theater in Chicago cuz I'm only 14 and i can't drive out there just for practice or productions. Is there any around Naperville? My zip code is 60565.

Have you tried the Rialto in Joliet? If not, I'd definitely try there. Other than that, I think Lewis University has a few acting programs going on. I'm not sure. Try doing some more research.

Good luck =]

16/f..i'm about to be a junior in a week. and well..my wardrobe hasn't changed much. i did buy a few new clothes but found that i had enough from last year...and they're pretty good-in-quality-clothes so i thought eh. what the hell? i'll just wear them next year.
also, our family's on a budget right now..so i can't get around this. would you be embarrassed to wear the same clothes next year (in addition to a couple new) ? =\ it worries me. like what people would think...

Honestly? I don't even think people will realize you're wearing the same clothes. It's really not a big deal at all.

I actually think it's nice that you don't beg your family for money for something like clothes when the family is on a budget.

I myself do this all the time. I have a hoodie from 6th grade that I still wear, and a few shirts from 8th grade that I still like to wear. Why waste clothes just because you've already worn them?

that a good lipgloss?

if so, what 4 colors would you recommend a fair to medium skin? black eyes brown hair

thanks

Avon usually has great products. I haven't used THAT specific lip gloss, but I'd recommend their products. So I'd say, yes it is a good lip gloss.

a lot of my friends have had their iPods (nanos) break within a couple of weeks of eachother, and they all got them for christmas 2 years ago. they just randomly stopped working, whenever you turn them on an error message comes up. is it possible that the iPods were programmed to break in 2 years? i don't see how it could be coincidence that all of their iPods broke in the last 2 weeks, i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

It wasn't programmed that way, that's just how long the battery lasts for. Don't worry, Apple isn't out to get you or anything ;]

Ok, so I just had sex for the first time. And now, a few days later, it hurts to urinate, and when I do there is blood in it. Do you think it's serious? I don't know what to do. I can't go to my doctor, because I don't want my mom to find out. Please respond asap I'm scared.,

Just go to the doctor. If you are over 13, and you tell your doctor NOT to tell your parents, they have to keep it confidential. It's a law.
