okay first of all i dont think im fat at all and i like the way my body looks. however im very health conscious and eat healthy food most of the time. i count calories too. if i didnt eat the daily number calories i think is efficient ill go eat until its exactly the number i want it to be, because i don't want to become too thin. i think about food a lot. i never thought i was fat and i know im not and i love my body. im a cheerleader (a flyer) so i try to remain small. oh yeah and i love cooking and food overall, mostly healthy food. i mean ill choose a grilled chicken sandwich over a big mac you know? could this possibly be anorexia? (link)
This is nowhere near anorexia. As long as you don't purposely starve yourself, you're not anorexic. And because you prefer healthy food, that doesn't mean you have an eating disorder!


okay here's the situation. my parents are going through a divorce. my dad has a good job, but my mom is only part time. to spite everyone, my dad refuses to buy groceries for the house and my mom cant really afford to either. so i have just been accustomed to rarely eating ( i usually only eat at work). now whenever i get hungry, i eat only a little of something and i feel really full.. like sick full. whats wrong with me? am i anorexic? im not skin and bones or anything, but i think im underweight ( im 5'2'' and 110 lbs.) ugh i think im broken :( help fix little old me (link)
You're not anorexic. Anorexic people purposely starve themselves because they think they need to be thinner. It's healthy to eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full. If you're really worried, go to a doctor, but I don't think there's anything wrong.


Hey, I've been using tampons for a little while now and it's kind of weird! Are you supposed to feel a little uncomfortable wearing them if there still new to you? Do you think they feel that way because it's not up far enough or something? I know I put it in right, but I still feel a little discomfort when there in! What's wrong? (link)
If you feel discomfort, you're doing something wrong. Ask your mom, older sister, or a girl who uses tampons that you trust for help.

If you're not ready for tampons, you can still go swimming, as your period should stop in the water. Just make sure to bring extra pads!!

Ok. This is really serious...If you miss a period, you should take a home pregnancy test. If it is positive, go to a doctor.

ok see..theres this kid thats 2 years older than me and hes BI. i know theres nuttin wrong wit that but there is..when he likes u! his name is anthony and he has a crush on me! he told me when i was in 6th grade! i almost passed out! i am tromotized! whenever i see him, i feel like throwing up and i stay as far away from him as humanly possible! i really dont like him cause he harrases me! its gross! what should i do to block this outta my mind!

i rate! (link)
Ok. It seems like you have a problem with someone of the same sex liking you that way. It can definately be kinda weird...But you have to accept that thats the way he is. Even if you don't like it, you have to tolerate it. If he sexually harrasses you, which is the message I got, you should tell a counseler or someone at your school(If he goes to your school). If he doesn't go to your school, tell someone in charge of wherever you see him, like if its an afterschool program or something. You should also tell your parents. I know it kinda seems like you're tattling, but if you are being harrassed, you should really tell something, because it is a serious matter. It is a crime. If he harrassed you bad enough, he could get expelled from your school.


i didnt kno wut to put this under... since it kinda has to do with sumthing my parents hav to deal with i put it under familyz. well you kno how when u have ur period that that first daii iz the worst and that you go to sleep and stuff of coarse you have a thingy on and stuff but how do you not stain your bed? i alwayz hav trouble with that and i had to throw away a thing of sheets becuz of it. sum1 plz help. iz there like sum secret to it? help! (link)
It's really bad to sleep with a tampon in, because you shouldn't wear them for very long, so don't try that. That has happened to me before, and I know what to do. There are overnight tampons, which are long so they cover your entire underwear, so when the blood-drips, I guess-It doesn't get on your underwear or your bed. If you don't have any of those, just put two pads on to cover the same area that an overnight bad would.


my friend...... is so depressed.. i was, but now im happier than ever. It feels so good being happy. I want her to feel that too, but its so hard. I just want her to live. and not let life pass her by. i donno wat to do. (link)
Do something special for her. Use your happiness to bring her some. Take her somewhere special, get her a present, invite her over and just talk. There are so many things you could do for her that could make her feel better. Just try something.
