This is completley normal. When you first get your period, it is very irregular. A lot of times, when you first get it, it is very light (which is the brown marks & stains). Do not worry! You are completley normal

do you know the saying, "don't hate the player, hate the game"? well, the game is what girls or guys do to mess with the opposite sex's heads. they use the game to get the opposite sex to like them, or basically do what they want. guys and girls have different techniques of playing "the game" - aka different ways of "controlling" the opposite sex using "the game". if you don't use those techniques or change yourself or the way you behave to get guys to like you, your not playing 'the game".

no, you will not get pregnant.

i read about this in a magazine article. technically speaking, yes, you are still a virgin (aka you haven't had sexual intercourse yet.) however, morally or personally, it varies from person to person whether you would be considered a virgin or not. some people think only sexual intercourse determines whether you are a virgin or not. others believe oral sex can make you not a virgin. it really depends on the person.

okay first of all, i know you tried this, but talk to your sister. say, we know what you are doing so dont try to deny it and it is very wrong and immature. she must have self-esteem issues if she has to steal her own SISTERS boyfriends & her sisters best friends boyfriend to make herself feel better. you know that saying chicks before dicks? tell her straight out that what she is doing is very wrong, and tell her not to deny it. if she doesn't change or realize the problem, when you get a new boyfriend don't tell her about it - she's probably only attracted to your boyfriend of the time because she wanted to have the pleasure of stealing him away from someone. so just keep it a secret. hope i helpedd

this is very very immature of him to do this - i would talk to him about it first of all, explain that this is not the way to take out his anger/sadness & is just very immature. next, when you login there's a place that says "I forgot my password." it should email your password to the email address that you used to register your account! :] if for some reason this doesn't work, although it should, you can report this to tom & he will delete your myspace - even though you might not want your myspace deleted, at least you wont have your boyfriend screwing with it. then you can make a new one. however, that "iforgot my password" link should take care of everything!

it's completley normal and natural. it's just puberty and hormones.

if i were you, first, i would sit her down - just you & her, in person - and talk to her. tell her what you've noticed; how it seems that she can't let you have anything good, she gets jealous over everything good that happens to you, etc. tell her it's really bothering you and holding you back. tell her that she's your friend and you don't want to loose her, but the way she's been behaving isn't what a friend would do. don't get defensive, yell or use a mean tone - use a normal tone and try and be understanding so you give her no excuse to cause a scene. if she does, or she denies everything and refuses to change her ways, well, you tried your hardest and did everything you could to try and fix it. you want to distance yourself from her - in your classes, hang out with other people. try getting closer to some of your other friends. and, out side of school, start hanging out with other people (without her.) good luck!

in my neighborhood, and other neighborhoods i know of, its just a party where your neighborhood or block gets together to talk and socialize basically. it's kind of a family thing but the parents hang out with the other parents, and all the kids hang out together.

first of all, lots of people your age have at least a LITTLE bit of acne so dont worry about that too much :) just dont pick at it or always say, "ughh my face is really breaking out" all the time even if you feel like that's the truth - i know people who do that & it draws attention to it. anyway, just be yourself & try and be outgoing and nice. smile and be friendly, and you should make friends! when you meet someone, ask them about themself. don't worry about the cliques - it probably wont be as bad as you think. just be open to anyone and try and make friends from all over! good luck.

Don't compare yourself to your friends. I know it's hard, but you're simply not built like them, and there's nothing wrong like that. The first step is WANTING to loose weight & getting motivated. Don't do the fad diets, or some quick "LOOSE 10 POUNDS IN A WEEK" diet because you'll just gain all the weight, or more, back. Doing it the following way might take longer but it's healthy & it will help you keep the weight off :)

As far as eating goes, limit your carbs but do not eliminate them. Eat protein because it will keep you full longer. If you want something sweet, try fruit or something low-calorie. Don't eat as much junk like chips, candy, etc. Pretzels are good if you want something salty, and same with low fat (with not alot of butter!) popcorn. Eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack between lunch & dinner and something after dinner if you're hungry. If you get used to eating this way, you will eventually stop craving the sweets & bad stuff for you.

Exersizing - you really should do an hour or more a day. Anything can be exersize. Running, walking, dancing around in your room, crunches, etc. Since you already do sports, you're active which is good. Adding more exersize to that will help you loose more weight. For a flatter tummy - crunches and sit ups. Littler butt - lunges, etc. Thighs - leg lifts, lunges, etcs. Walking works out your whole body. Swimming can burn a lot of calories, too.

okay, first of all - loosing 7 pounds in five days is not possible, healthily. if you loose 7 pounds in five days, chances are you'll gain all of it (or more) back quickly. plus, if you could, it'd just be like, water weight, NOT fat. also you're weight is absolutely fine and normal and you don't need to loose weight. but if you insist, watch what you eat. limit carbs (don't eliminate them) & increase protein (which will keep you fuller for longer.) eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full. don't eat much junk. exersize for an hour or more each day. eat fruits, vegetables, and protein.

I know how you feel - at school there was this girl that most people thought was really annoying. She thought me & this other girl were her best friends and would be like, "you guys are my best friends!" anyway, i used to find her annoying, but i gave her a chance and now i actually like her :) hahah, i still find her annoying at times, but sometimes you should just give people a chance. this girl in your driver's ed class seems a lot more annoying than the one im talking about, though. you have your own life, your own friends, your own stuff to do. you could talk to her and say, "i think your nice and all, but i'm busy with other people alot and i think it'd be hard for us to hang out. it's cool seeing you in driver's ed though." or something like that so it won't hurt her feelings, but she'll get the hint - hopefully!

Since you're built like your mom and sister in other ways (like, you're all skinny), you probably have their body type. This means that you will probably have larger boobs like they did - and they probably will just develop later like your sister.

For 16 years old, that's not too tall for her age. It may be on the taller side of average, but it's average.

Dump him right away. He told his friends he's using you for sex? What are you waiting for? DUMP HIM

i wouldn't stop hanging out with your old friends just yet. since you've been friends with awhile, you don't want to just give that up. it's great that you made new friends at camp that are like you and you enjoy hanging out with, but can't you hang out with both groups? don't ditch your old friends, but spend time with your new ones. you may want to always be hanging out with the theater people, but make sure you leave some time for your old friends too. you may just be bored of them and need soem time apart & you might get over that feeling. good luck

the only way you can loose fat in your face is by loosing fat everywhere else, but you don't need to do that since you're fine the way you are. there's no way to specifically exersize your face. howevever, look at the benefits of your face: it makes you look younger, so when you're like 45, you'll look young! haha sorry if i didn't helpp that much

well, i read this thing on bras in a magazine that said if the straps fall down, you need a smaller size bra. you don't have to move a whole cup size down, maybe just like from a 36 to a 34 or whatever. you can also get measured. or, you can try & adjust the straps with those little hook thinks. good luck

Get professional help. Seriously. If you try to do this by yourself, you may just end up starting again (like how you stopped in june and are now starting again.) Cutting has to do with emotional issues much deeper, so seeing a therapist or something of that sort will solve it. The first step is actually WANTING to stop, and wanting help so you're on you're way already. i would suggest telling your parents, and asking them to find you somebody to help you deal with the stuff that causes you to cut. please get professional help - doing it yourself may stop it for a little while, but it probably will come back again. there are other solutions to problems in your life. a therapist or psychiatrist will help you solve those problems and find better ways to deal. good luck.
