Q: is soda pop REALLY that bad for you? I'm on a diet and I get sick of water.. I like diet pop! My boyfriend says he will never drink it because its so bad... true? false?
its not good to drink a lot of it cus it has soo much sugar, but a lot of people drink it anyways. its not like water or anything, and its definetly not gonna help you lose weight. but cutting it out will help you get on the right track to lose weight but its not gona make you drop 10 pounds instantly. diet pop is "healthier" because it has artificial sweetner instead of regular having pure sugar. but young kids should not be having artificial sweetner so really the only plus of diet is that it doesnt have "real" sugar. hope that answers your q.

Q: I think my parents are gonna get a divorce? What do i stop or help to prevent that?
im sry to say i dont think you can stop it. its their decision and it may be for the best (even though it doesnt seem like that.) they just dont want to fight in front of you, or siblings. and it would make them happier probably, and it would help you/siblings by not having to see them argue or whatever they do. i hope everything works out between you and them. just be strong and brave and everything will work out for the best.

Q: well i need some advice because i've been wearin a thong for about a year now and i've kept it a secret from mi mom but yesterday she found 1 ov them and she didnt really care and wen she asked if it waz mine i said it was my friends. and my problem is i really don't wanna tell her tha truth... :( ( sould i stop wearin them??) i don't know wat 2 do if she brings up tha subject again? thanx ur advice would mean a lot to me....
dont stop wearing them, its your personal choice what to wear. its not like people are gonna see them when you wear them. just tell her that your old enough and mature enough to wear them, because it shouldnt be a big deal. just later tell her that it was your thong. i dont think she would care if you were wearing them still, because youve been wearing them for a year. and plus you need to wear thongs if your wearing tight and white clothes, or sometimes things printed. hopefull your talk will work out.

Q: im depressed. i have ALL the signs of teen depression [ i looked them up ]

i dont feel myself lately. i dont like me. i cant sleep. i cry for no reason. im really mean to people around me. this year my grades went from A's and B's...to all F's.

ugh...any ideas on how to tell my mom? i want to tell her i need to see a theripist but im scared of how to bring it up and stuff..
if you dont want to go straight out and tell her, ask her to make a doctors appt. for you (just the reg. checkup doctor) mayb ask for a routine physical. usually in those your parents arent in the room, so you can say to the doctor that you didnt really want the physical (even though youll probably still get one), but talk to them about depression. reg. doctors can help too because they know about depression. and also your regular doctor can schedule a session with a therapist without you having to talk about it with your mom. but if you dont want to do that whole route, just tell your mom you want to talk about somethings goin on in your life right now to someone. and if she says you can talk to me (which she might), just say that i dont really want it to be anyone, so maybe i can go to a therapist. sry if tht all is really confusing...i just know that if you are depressed, its best to go see someone or talk to a really good friend. i hope it all turns out well.

Q: okay i'm only 13 but i have a lot of problems. this guy asked me out like an hour ago. i kind of know him..but not that well...but he seems really nice and caring and he really likes me a lot. the problem is that i feel weird. i kind of like him, but theres some other people i kind of like too. he seems to care about a lot and really like me. should i give him a chance? i feel really guilty..but should i keep going out with him for awhile and give him a chance?
well you kinda like other people too, so id try figure out your top 3, and if hes in it, try to get to know him better since you "kind of know him." i think you really need to get to know the person before you start dating them. get to know all the people you like before so you know what their about and how they will treat you, but leave some room to figure out stuff about them while your dating them. id give him a..."not right now i just need to figure some stuff out" answer. then this week figure out who you like. then if he still likes you and you figure out hes the one for you, tell him your ready. hope this all works for you!

Q: theres this guy whos gonna ask me out on valentines day hes going to give me a rose and bear and a kiss. what shuld i do and what should i wear?
im not trying to be rude but isnt valentines day in february? and isnt that really really far away? ill answer anyways...when anyone gives you a gift, especially all those love gifts. just act really thankful and say how much of a good friend they are. be responsive and dont act like its nothing because its a big deal to them. for clothes...id just say go with a skirt and a cute top. if its cold where you live, go with jeans and a flirty top with a cute jacket. hope all this helps!

Q: ok there is this guy on myspace thats wants me to hang out with him. i don't know if i should. i know my mother wouldn't agree with it, so what should i do?? is it good to meet someone from online??
DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT! seriously they could be an old dude and like want to rape you. NOT COOL! you probably shouldnt even be talking to him on myspace if you dont know him. listen to your mom (sry to say), shes right and dont meet up w/ him. not trying to be mean but you could get like kinapped or something bad could happen to you, it might now but theres always a slight possibility.

Q: i recently went on vacation with my family and a few cousins whom i hadnt talked to in a long time to california. me and one of my cousins started getting somewhat close, and i am ashamed to say i like him. eh. any help?
try to ditch the feelings sry to say...family is family nothing else. i think everyone finds some cuz attractive or like has a mini crush on them at one point in their life, but youll get over it soon as soon as you meet a really hott guy and get to know him. so just try to mellow those feelings down and go for a new guy! hope everything gets straightened out!

Q: do i deserve another chance if i got advice and relized my problems?
sure, why not?

Q: i've had a boyfriend for almost 5 months now and he has been gone for the past 2 weeks and we havent been able to talk that much..like hardly at all.. and he is going to be home for a half a day today but then tomorrow he is leaving again for camp..and i miss him a LOT.. is there anything to make me feel any better?!?
omg this sounds like me right now. not gonna go into it but im in a sim. situation. i just try to call (if he has a cell), listen to music to keep busy, and keep busy in general. go to the gym, do sports, or keep busy and hang out with friends and that always helps take your mind off him being gone. think about when he gets back and how you can talk to him for a long long time and how you guys can hang out. hope it all works!

Q: what are some ways do you guys think could help me with this broken heart problem :(

signed : if only i knew
think about the good times and try to think that mayb you can do better next time...actually right now im kinda in a similar situation. i just try to think that i can score a better guy next time and how i learned things from this relationship.music helps soo much i cant even explain it. i listen to music constantly and it really takes my mind off stuff. just keep busy and you wont think about all your worries. i hope all this works!

Q: I was wondering if anyone knew of any foods that make you feel full but contain very few calories?

Thanks =)
things w/ fiber like carrots, light popcorn-crunchy things. also soup is like the number one filler i heard, and its pretty healthy especially if you ahev a cold!

Q: i downloaded iTunes but i dont have an iPod nor an account so how can i download the songs, not buy them ?
legally: idk...id like to find that out too cus i have an ipod and it sucks that i have to pay $1 per song.
illagally: my friends use kazaa, limewire, i think its called mixpx? some stuff like that...idk if you want to do the whole illegal thing which isnt the best idea but its your music!

Q: You know those spongey things that you use in the shower? I forget what they're called..neways! How long should you use the same one?
theyre called loofas, and change them around once a month or however much you want to. just keep it clean cus your using it to get the dirt of your body so try to change it somewhat often.

Q: ok...about how old do girls normally stop growing....im 13 and im 5 feet 1 inch and my boobs are really small!
youve grown mostly by the time you get your period, then you may grow a couple inches more..depends. and your boobs will grow..you got time! good luck!

Q: Ok i just met this guy a little bit ago and i have just startd to have feelings for him but there are some problems he is 19 and i'm 15 and he doesnt know i like him but i want to tell him...and but i dont think he will be interestd cuz of the age what should i do??
sry to say but id try to forget him cus thts a big age gap especially at your age. i mean tht can be considered sexual abuse cus hes older than 18 and your younger than 18 if you would for some odd reason report something. so try to date around your age group, hopefully 17 and younger. sry..i know its hard to stop liking a guy. and to tell him? yeah sure..but idk about an actual relationship, more like a crush or something. hope it all works out!

Q: Theres this guy and he is 16 and sometimes i think i have feelings for him lyk a boyfriend but then i dont.....he likes me and he said he wanted to screw me and i told him id let him but i dont know if i would let him because im only 12 and loosing my virginity at my age seems a lil to fast but i feel ready, and i think i want to?? should I??
~Clueless~
hes just using you to get laid.eh just try to stay friends. and your only 12 so thts kinda crazy to be thinking about actually doin it. you should be thinking about kissing, not sex. hope it all works out!

Q: hi, one of the friends i hang round with is really moody. my other friend lashed out at her because she was like moody all the time. what can i do to stop her being moody all the time?!
mayb shes just bipolar,or she has some pms problems. just tell her that shes being really moody and its gettin on some people nerves but in a nicer way: sry i couldnt find the right words. its not good for all her friends to bottle up their anger about her...just tell her slowly that people are gettin kinda annoyed. hope it works

Q: my mom is really overprotective. she doesnt like to let me go hang out with my friends. i guess she doesnt trust me, but i just dont know why. she seems to thimk that i will get kidnapped or something. but whenever i go out its always with a lot of people, but she still doesnt trust me. none of my friends parents are like that. how can i earn her respect and trust? oh yah im 13 and a girl
ive had the same problem awhile ago...i just gave her reasons to trust me and how she should know that im not gonna do anything stupid while out. tell her you have good judgement and give you a couple chances the first time and if shes not comfortable maybe she can reconsider...hope that helps!

Q: omfg!!! i have the worst cramps ever today!! i took ib profen already and that didnt work!

i need some way to get rid of them or make them not so bad!

ik ppl say working out helps..but there is no way in hell im working out with this bad of cramps!

HELP!!

ill rate 5s!
from what ive heard...heating pads, squatting, taking pills like midol or pamprin, try flexing your abb muscles. hope it works!
