heyy guyszz i*m kara and i*m here to help with anything you need!!* just drop one in my inbox!!

advice

I'm 14/f
I think im fat and I wanna lose weight. I don't eat breakfast or lunch and barely dinner. All my friends are worried about me and try to get me to eat but I just say i'm not hungry. My question is, is this that serious and that unhealthy? Thanks!

kristina-->
not eating [or barely eating] is definently NOT the way to go because you can have an eating disorder and all this other bad stuff

1st take a look @ this website to see some stuff
http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm

and instead of not eating try these things-->
its summer so if you can get to the pool do laps[swimmings really good 4 you it uses all of your muscles] have races with friends for fun
if you just sitting around watching tv try doing crunches or push ups and stretch
substitute junk food for healthy stuff

good luck

Is there any way to go to a doctor without your parents knowing?

you would probably have to be 18 or older to make the appointment [spelling?] and stuff

good luck w/ that

hey everyone what's ^ nothing much here could you tell me any jobs that i could do im 15 years old i really want a job so i could make money so if you have any suggestions then feel free to say them thanks

-counsler during the summer
-babysitter

hope those helped
-kARa

just so you know--> you get payed for both of those jobs and being a consler in a camp over the summer can get you over $500 dollars because the camp pays you and you also get tips and for babysitting your 15 years old so parents will probably pay you more then they would someone who was younger

Hello,

First off - I am appauled that there is no reading or literature category. If you feel you need to put in "Home Decorating" then you should put in "Literature" - the few of us cultured folk have questions too.

I went to my local book store seeking a copy of the books - Ishmael by Daniel Quinn and Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegurt Jr. (not positive on the spelling of Vonnegurt)

The books all together were something like $40 - which is a tad above my budget for reading material at the moment. I was wondering if anyone knew of some site online (not an ebay kind of thing - something more focused on consumer happiness than general profit) where I could maybe find a less expensive used copy of each.

Im aware I can use Amazon or something like that - but i'd prefer something different. Please only post something that you have used, or know someone has used and walked away satisfied.

I appreciate the help folks.

good luck finding the books

my hands are always really sweaty. i dont know what to do to make them stop being sweaty. what can i do to make them normal?

try using deodorant or asking your doctor because i read somewhere for people who sweat to much you can get this shock thing every like 6 weeks and it will stop you from sweating as much

good luck

how much should i charge when i am babysitting?
i babysit 3 children ages, 9, 5, and 2 and i am 13 yrs old. i also babysit my cousins that are 4 and 1. how much i was thinking like 3$ an hr per kid but then i saw an episode of full house and DJ babysat and only charged 2.50 an hr and those shows are from like forever ago so now 3$ per hr per kid seems too low! help! i dont want to be rude to the kids parents and ask for too much *remember i am only 13*

your comparing yourself to dj tanner but the thing was [[i just sae that episode today actually]] she was just staying at home watching her sisters...and you also babysitting 3 kids one of them being only 2 so i would charge about $5 an hour

i have wavy hair that is a little past my shoulders ..it only takes me about a half hour to straighten my hair using my straightening iron (helen of troy) my hair stays straight for a little while, but then it starts to get a little wavy afterwards ..and this happens all the time ..i dont think its cause from sweat, becuase i dont sweat alot, but idk why it does that ..my hair is also layered and the top layers NEVER stay straight for a long time ..i use hairspray in it sometimes to try to keep it straight but it dosnt seem to work ..does anybody have any advice on what i can do to keep my hair straight? thanks! i rate high (:

your hair probably doesnt stay straight because of the weather...that happens to me all the time..you should try the frizz ease stuff or other hair rpoducts like that..they usually work pretty well

I'm always looking around the house for candy, and chips and all that unhealthy stuff...so how do i stop myself from wanting it???

try sustituting that stuff for other things try eating fruit and salad try working out more...when your heart rate is up you usually dont want to eat as much..only eat when you are hungry..and keep yourself busy doing something most of the time..if you find yourself looking for some of that stuff think to yourself exactly why you dont want to eat that stuff and why its better in the long run not to eat it

ps..when they broke up i told her shes going to regret it cause hes such a great guy...and she was like then you can have him..but she said it sarcastically...omgg i dont know.. :(

before you go out with him i think you should talk to your friend even if you dont think its her choice to make because you can end up in a big fight or something just remember when worst comes to worst your friends come first

i was trying to get a group together to see a movie at the local cinema. im a girl & most of my friends are guys but my parents still want there to be some girls there with me because they dont always trust the guys. well i called up the few girl friends i do have & none of them will go. i get excuses even before i tell them what we're seeing. but thats besides the point, how do i get my parents to see that i can never get any girls to go?? i wanna see movies but i end up not being able to go b/c im the only girl! please help me!!

when your calling your girl friends have your parents like right there to tell them that they said no and explain to your parents that most of your friends are guys..try to avoid yelling and screaming usually the answers always no at the end when that happens
