your actually underweight http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm
u can get you bmi there and see

[view]

ok well im a 14/f n im 5'3 n i weight about 113-115. i dont think im fat but i would like to loose the jelly on my stomach LoL. i no about excerising but i get pretty bored with it. so is their another way.

if you dont want to excercise [which if you ever decided to doing crunches and leg lifts would probably be the best things] try eating healthier change a few chips for an apple and etc etc
good luck!!*

well this might be long but i need some help..this girl and me hated each other because of a boy,(wont get into it itd be to long haha) but found out he was playing both of us and we became really good friends because we started talking to each other and found out we were a lot alike. over the summer id find myself being ditched a lot. like the last day of school, we were going to hang out but i found out she was hanging out with one of her best friends that hates me for no reason and i have no problem with her, but i forgave her.. and then over and over we would make plans and then she would ditch me again for this girl! it really pissed me off and i confronted her about it and she would make up these excuses that ohh she just came over because they live by each other.
she got a new boyfriend and said she didnt like the guy any more.. and the guy and i ended up hanging out at the same place and ended up doing stuff, a couple days after i found out she still liked him and was only going out with the guy to make him jealous.. so i felt bad and all but i told her and she was glad i told her and didnt act all that mad because i mean she was the one who said she didnt like him any more.. but we were going to hang out the next day and she didnt pick up her phone, and was super pissed but i understood why she would have been mad.. ANYWAYS i wrote her a sorry note and everything we were good and then she does it AGAIN she was just like oh i have a friend over sorry even though we planned the time and everyhting that i would have came over. it was bitch so i didnt talk to her after a while she apologized and said she just wanted to get back at me but she shouldnt have said she was fine when she really wasnt. she promised shed make it up to me somehow and she did because we hung out a lot after that. and everything was fine. her and her friend got in a big fight.. so wed hang out a lot more becuase her other friend wasnt there. then, i would call her because we were going to hang out but she ended up having to take care of her brothers so i was stuck again for the night... and that day i was the only one to call her and she wouldnt call me back and tell me what was going on... so for about a week i didnt talk to her, but then i called her and left a message wanting to talk to her and see wat her deal is.. and she didnt return my call at all... so i called her a couple days later and she picked up and i was straight up asking why she didnt return my calls and wouldnt call me and she was like i didnt get the message or any of your calls and i didnt call you because i thought you were mad at me.. so we talked and she had to go and told me to call her that night so i did and she said her mom was up and shed call me back but she never did and didnt today either! its like after all that youd think she would at least call..i dont know if i should believe her or not and still be her friend, when were together we have so much fun and stuff but its just im always getting ditched and not treated right.. its like shes taking advantage of me. sorry again it was so long but thanks to all if you read it :-(

p.s her and her friend are now cool again, so im thinking i was just used sortof cuz her other friend wasnt there


15/f

by where i live theres a whole bunch of people like that and im good friends with one and i see things like this happen all the time..you cant really trust people like your 'friend' because of everything that happened so i would say try and find new friends but just to see dont call her for awhile see if she calls you at all...if she does thats nice and if she doesnt dont take crap like that from anyone
good luck!!*

ok so here is the deal. so my friend pala well she has been ignorin me lateley. see since it is summer and all for us. she and i agreed that we would write to eachother through e-mail. but i have written her more then she has written me she has sent me fwds and that is it i mean i will write tellin how my summer is goin how i can't wait to see her cause she is a really close friend to me. or so i think. see we have this joke marco polo if we loose eachother we either yell polo when i want to find her or marco when she wants to fine me. silly i know but still it was our thing. now since i have written to her she just well she hasn't written i mean i understand she might be havin tuns of fun but u would think that after like 15 hundred e-mails sent i would at least get somthin sayin that she is havin a blast i mean somthing as little as that shows me that she still knows i exist on this planet. i dunno it may jus tbe me. but i have sent her e-mails askin her to respond when she can then i said please write back and i still havn^t gotten an answer. and i dunno do u think that she has forgotten our friendship. i mean things like this don^t just happen like it does or do they??. i dunno i am just worried that i may have lost one of the very few friends i have. i pray about her almost everynight and i pray for what friends i have also askin god to protect them and what not. and i know he is but still i dunno what to do.

anything would help

thnx

monn

the thing is you never know with emails they may never get there her computer could be broken etc etc try giving her a call or visiting her instead of the computer and ask wut was up with the emails and find the story if there is one and stuff

I have the weirdest phobia (Well to me) I can not swallow pills. My sister used to have trouble with it too, but she eventually got over it. My younger brother has ADD so he has to have pills so he it's no problem for him. But when I was little I had choked on something and I blacked out before it was dislodged, and even though I know it's not going to happen just because I try swallowing a pill, I still have a "pill phobia". Anyway is there anything I can do that will help me get over it. Or just ways to make swallowing pills easier? I'm almost 15, and a sophmore in high school, and I'm still telling doctors when I'm sick that I need a liquid or chewable, I don't want to be an adult doing the same thing. It's embarassing. I have friends that won't swallow a pill unless they have to, but even if it was the only way, I'd rather just be sick. So if you have tips on making swallowing pills easier or just getting over the phobia, please let me know!! Thanks in advance!

i used to have the same problem and what really helped me was having a drink with it put the pill in the back of your throat like food sort of then take a drink swallow the drink and the food will go down with it

my mom is always saying im ugly. last sunday for church, i let my hair dry into natural curl/waves and she said it was ugly and i should brush it (badddd idea) and wear some makeup because my face looked "bad". i didnt wear earrings & she always says i look bad when i dont wear them. when i do wear makeup for other occasions she says i look like a prostitute. i dont know what to do anymore! i cant always be best dressed and miss cheerful like she was when she was my age. shes always telling me how thin she was and how everyone liked her figure just to rub it in my face that i have no womanly shape. my dad says i look ok because he sees what it does to my self esteem. everytime i get the slightest blemish, shes the first to point it out. i hate it! someone please help me! any advice will help! ill rate 5s...

thats terrible!! the next time she says something to you like that be like you know what just because i wasnt perfect (which i bet she wasnt when she was your age) like you when you were my age doesnt mean you have to rub it in my face
also unless youve seen pix do you really know or not that she was this great looking person or something because if shes not that can a ton of things one being shes trying to push you into something she never was

are saltine crackers and pretzals really healthy for you?? or are they just as bad as chips?

crackers and pretzels are a lot better for you because the carbs are better chips also have a lot more calories and things...
it also depends on what kind of chips pretzels and crackers your having
the no salt/fat pretzels and crackers are a lot better for you then other things
hope i helped

This is going to sound riiculous, but it has nonetheless made me upset. My mom is a very good cook, and she normally makes her own pasta sauce when we have pasta for dinner. However, if we are just having pasta (i.e. just my sister & I) as a quick meal, we just have sauce from a jar. I never really liked the one from the jar we used, but I just went to my cousins and found a different one I love. After looking in FIVE stores my mom found it. I have been waiting weeks to have it again, & my mom finally made pasta again tonight! When I asked her what sauce we were having, it was the new one from the jar, and I was SO EXCITED. Then all of a sudden (hours later) I am in the kitchen & see my mom unfreezing her own pasta sauce. I said to her "I thought we were having the new one tonight" and she replied "oh we were, but then I asked your sister if she would prefer that sauce or mine, and she said mine." I was very mad at this...it's not that I don't mind having my mom's (it's really good) but I have been waiting for very long to have my new sauce & then my mom decides not to make it because my sister wanted someting different. I guess it not only disappointed me that I wasn't getting to have my sauce, but also that because my sister wanted my mom's sauce that's what we were having. It was like it didn't matter what I wanted, only what my sister wants. How should I handle this? Just wait until next time I have pasta, or say something? I don't want my mom to think I don't like her sauce either by insulting her.

its not ridiculous so dont worry about that ...its the little things that can get to someone the most...its probably based on 2 things from what i just read...it might not be that it was only what your sister wanted but that your mom wanted to make her sause for one reason or another and the fact that one person [chances are if that was you in your sisters place same thing would of happened]wanted HER sause is what mattered maybe to make your mom feel better about the sause or something mix the 2 of them--just an idea may or may not work or something good luck!!*

Ok, I'm trying to lose weight but I get bored often and I've found that I eat when I get bored, even if I'm not hungry at all. What are some things to do when I get bored?? I mean, I live in a place where you have to drive 15 minutes to the nearest mall or movie place so shopping isnt an option. And I'm only 13 so I can't drive...What are some fun, random things to do around the house?

that has happened to many people...when there bored they eat try excersing [spelling?] instead of that or what i really like to do when i get bored is jump on a trampoline its a lotta fun and good excersise or make up your own things to do that make you active invite a friend or 2 to take a 30 minute bike ride up and down a few hills or something
good luck!!*

About three weeks ago i started taking diet pills without my parents knowing. After i took them i started feeling really nervous. My heart feels like it's beating really hard and fast. I'm breathing really weird and it takes me forever to go to sleep cuz i'm soo wired. I stopped the pills shortly after taking them but i'm still messed up. Does anybody know what's wrong and how i could fix it???

you have to tell your parents and see a doctor immediatly!! diet pills are extrememly dangerous!! they carry either tape worm or ring worm [cant remember which one sry] which eats up the food inside you...thats the diet part...people have died from taking them because the more you take the bigger the worm gets inside you...which is pretty gross if you ask me...if your trying to loose weight and stay in shape the best way is a true diet and workout

good luck!!

This is gonna sound confusing but, my best friend that i knew for about 6 years now has this really hot brother, hes about my age. He likes me and i like him! But she doesnt want us going out and she keeps making up excuses on why we shouldnt. She doesnt know i like him and im afraid if i do tell her she will get upset and be rude about it. And plus i think it will feel a little weird going out with my best friends brother! HELP i am soo confused

you*ve got to decide whats more important...going out w/ this guy...or you*re best friend
if you dont want to have to make that choice then your just going to have to talk to her and explain why it wouldnt be such a bad thing

good luck

My friend Jennifer and I have been good friends since 7th grade but our freshmen year we became really far apart. I got a boyfriend and she felt rejected. Well I tried to reconnect with her hear the last few months and now she has a boyfriend. I invite her places with me and she always comes up with rediculious excuses to not go. I invited her to a concert with me and she didn't go because her boyfriend came to her house. I never blew her off like this. We have our old conservations on the phone and talk at lest 2 hours every other day. I just dont know what to say or do. I want to go to the old ways.

if i were you i wouldnt even bother with her but if you want to go your old ways then have a talk with her saying that when you got a boyfriend you didnt mean to make her feel rejected and take it from there....

good luck!!*

I was just wondering if anyone has used the Remington Straightner, the one that straightens wet hair. If so,does it actually work? Is there mcuh damage? Is 25-30 dollars a good price for it? I think I'll be getting the 2 inch one since my hair is longer & it is only 5 dollars more. And how straight does your hair get? Thanks in advance! i rate

i have it and it works great it doesnt damamge your hair as much as other $25-30 is a pretty good price for it and it gets you hair straight

good luck with it
