I am a 16- years old, I got a event that takes place soon. I need to tone my stomach and mi chest. The event takes place in a month and two weeks. Can someone plz help me? Mi breast aren't saggy but I don't like em, they are to low, can someone help me to do something to help me. please help. thanks (link)

A healthy diet where you use portion control might help. There isn't really anything you can do to help the breasts except for maybe a push up bra. For your abs you can try reps of crunches with the bicycle exercise. For crunches try
16 normally
16 legs folded up
16 legs straight
16 legs open (like a 2nd ballet position)
16 legs down straight
16 bicycle
16 leg pushes- where you alternate your legs and try to push them to the lfoor but you have to yuse your muscle to keep your legs off the ground.
This without stopping might help, listening to music while doing it will make it more fun. Good luck!

ok well im doing the seventeen workout in the june issue and it says its a 15 minute workout but it only takes me 4 minutes and it makes me really mad because i dont no what im doing wrong help me
oh and i do exactaly what it says in workout
i rate high (link)
| |
You can try to take each exercise slower to get more out of each move. You can do more reps in each set or repeat the sets over and over. A good workout can't really be done in for minutes unless it is like ultra intensive. Going to a real gym will probably give you better results because they have great equipment and people who can help you use the equipment. Good luck!

My family is all going to go to Wisconsin next Thursday-Sunday. I do not want to go and neither does my mom. We would both go if my dad let us stay in a hotel, but he said that it is too much money. My grandfather (My grandfather is who we are going there to see.) keep his house at 95 degrees and I'm not joking. There aren't even enough beds in his house! He can't hear a word that I say and I'm have strep right now so, I'm not going to talk any louder than I normally do. I really do not want to go up to Wisconsin (Mom said that she's staying here) so, how do I convince my dad to not make me go?
I rate 5's for anyone who tries (link)
| |
Just confront him and tell him why you don't want to go without screaming or yelling at him. Explain that you would feel uncomfortable and not have a good time. Maybe, however, this may be one of those things that is really important to your dad, in which case you should make the best of it. Maybe you could meet your dad halfway like:"hey dad, i was wondering if maybe we could spend a day with grandpa but stay at a hotel. I think everybody would be more comfortable and in a better mood." Good luck

ok so im going to babysit this one family and i want to make a good impression so shell call me back... what should i do?
thanks i rate 5's (link)
| |
Bring fun things for the children today and ask the parents for emergency numbers. Taking a babysitting class also really helps. You learn rescue breathing, how to chage adiaper, and how to deal with emergency situations and things like that.

so i am very uncomfortable about talking to my mom about "girl things". how do i tell my mom that i need a razor? please help i rate 5. (link)
| |
Just talk to your mom casually while watching a tv show with her or something, so if things get too awkard or weird, you can make an escape. Try squeezing it into the conversation. Like first look at your legs and be like "Eww my legs are so hariry, and summer is here. Oh, hey mom can i get a razor" just something casual.
|
|
okay i really want people to think im a really cool down to earth person at summer school i start next week. i relly want a new rep. im 15/f any tips?? (link)
|
This is going to sounds totally cliche but...
Be yourself. If you try to fake who you are your going to end up witht the wrong gorup of friends and not have a good time in highschhol. Just be chill and be yourself. Have a great time.

So the whole day today, I kept getting bit by mosquitoes!!..they itch like CRAZY. But the crazy thing is...each bump is like QUARTER SIZE. I'm not even kidding/exagerrating. It's SO big..I have like a total of maybe 6 all over my upper body. Is this normal?! ..I've never had bites this big ever!..Please help. :) (link)
| |
Wear bugspray and protective lcothing to protect you from further exposure. You could just be having a different reaction that usual because the mosquitos are a little different or your immune system is acting differently. You can try itch relief cream for bug bites, it works wonders.

i have vaginal inflammation and irritation... but no infection. however, the discomfort is unbearable. what can i do, other than hot-water soaks, to soothe the pain? (link)
| |
To be safe, you should visit your doctor or gyno. They can give you the best information on how to help. Feel better.

I trim, and I want to start shaving. but do I just, shave it all off? I've heard that you can do different shapes like the "Bermuda Triangle", or do the "landing strip". But which would be the best thing to do? And are there other types of ways to have it look?
Thanks. (link)
| |
Whatever makes you comfortable is what you should do. The pubic hair stops traps things from getting into the genital area. There are many approaches, you could remove the bikini hair, get a brazillian( a small strip is lef tin the middle), or bare. Unfortunately, it grows back so try a couple things and see what you like thebst and what you feel most comfortable with.

i really just want to commit suicide. i just can't stand my life anymore. i just feel like i would be better in heaven where i would have no worries. someone please help. i can only take so much. i don't know how to cope. i'm just going to end up killing myself. i know i am. i have no reason to live. (link)
| |
Suicide won't solve anything. Think of everything in life your leaving behind. Even if you don't know it, there are millions of people who care deeply about you. You should talk to someone, if you don't know anybody that you feel safe talking to, try a the suicide hotline. Please don't do this to yourself.

My hair is long, dry, brittle, dull and has split ends. I want it to be soft, smooth, shiny and healthy. How do I go about getting that? Any product recommendations? I'll rate 5's (link)
| |
A cheap and effective solution that I am always recommending? Pantene Hair Restoratives. They have restoring shampoo, conditioner, strengthening spray, deep conditioners. Everything to help your hair maintain its necessary moisture.

Hi! Well, lately my eye (bottom right of right eye) has been twitching, so I was wondering if anyone might know what's causing it and how I can stop it. Thanks. (link)
| |
That happens to me sometimes. It is often from a lack of sleep or potassium in ones diet. So try to get a full 8 hours of sleep everynight or try eating a banana or a glass of orange juice with breakfast.

i was always told that going on the pill would make your period stop completely (by freinds, not doctors) and lately i've been seeing a commercial about a pill that can reduce your period to only 3 days?? now, is it true that there is such a thing as a birth control pill that can make your period stop altogether, or is that just a myth? (link)
| |
To my knowledge, there is no pill that will make your period stop but there are two brands that are FDA approved (Seasonale and I forgot the other one) that will reduce it to around 3 times a year with some side effects. Talk to your doctor about possible options.

im going away soon for vacation and i never been on a plane before this will be my first time. i dont know what to expect here are some questions i would like to get answered
should i be scared
alot of people say to chew gum should i?
willl i get sick?
what should i do to keep busy?
(link)
|
You don't need to be scared. Airport security is very high and secire right now. Chewing gum helps some people with nerves or when they are landing/taking off the plane because a sudden change in altitude can cause their ears to pop. If you get motion sickness you might get sick but motion sickness bands or medicine will take care of that. Earplugs and swallowing frequently will help with the ear popping. To keep busy you can listen to music, read a little (sometimes reading in cars, busses, planes, etc, can make some people feel sick), watchan in flight mvie if availabe, play cards, bring along an acitvity book, write letters to friends, anything that you would do normally.
Don't worry and have a great vacation :)

On December 16th, my cousin was raped by her neighbor/exboyfriend. She has been in deep depression ever since, she just told me two days ago that she was raped and thats why she's had depression. She promised me she would tell her parents, as long as I kept my mouth shut. Now she refuses to tell, and she told me she has though several times as to ending her life over it. I got scared and told my older brother, he hasn't told my parents yet, but I don't know what to do. I`m scared for her [ she lives across the country so theres nothing I can do about that] I swore to her I wouldn't tell, but I did. I just don't know what to do. (link)
| |
You need to find a hotline where professinals can deal with this type of situation. There is a hotline for Abuse and Rape Victims. Rape is a terrible crime and your cousin shouldn't face it alone. If she is honestly talking about ending her life, someone needs to be told, like a trusted adult. Your cousin needs help and you just have to be there for her and do your best to do what you think is right. Best of luck to you and your family in the future!

Okay, so after i take a shower
I blow dry my hair and straighten it
and my scalp is really dry
and now my hair comes out easier..
AHHH
what do I do?
i know im now balding.
(link)
| |
Definately pick 1:Blow Dry or Straighten- your hair does not need both. Then try a strengthening spray or creme (Pantene Restoratives are nice and inexpensive). A deep conditioner will help and don't brush your hair after a shower, if you must, comb it with a wide toothed comb.

im 14 and ive been straightening my hair since like 12 1/2. so its been like 2 years kinda.. well like what hair straightening does.. it fried my hair. and i also blow dry it every day.. and its REALLY bad, like its poofy and its like dry.. but once i straighten it it looks kinda healthy, and not so poofy. so i was wondering what could i do to get my hair back to healthy.. you dont understand how POOFY it gets when i get out of the shower.. so if i like blowdried my hair on cool(not the high heat, like cold heat) and not straighten it as much, would that help? what things could i do so it will become healthy again? and im sorry its so long, but i will rate! (link)

I know exactly how your hair is! Mine is the exact same way! If I don't put it up right after a shower or straigten it, its just a mess! Try using a hair straighener with engatively charged ions to help prevent split ends (Metrapolis and Chi are GREAT). Then you should start using a shampoo and conditioner like Pantene Restoratives. They also make a strengthening spray (for fine hair) and creme(for thick hair) for damp hair! A deep conditioner or hair mask twice a week would also help.

Ok, so I've liked this girl for a long time, and during the beggining of the school year she also liked me (I didn't know it back then). Now, she's going out with one of my friends, but we still talk a lot. She also keeps on asking me who I like (A lot!) Every time she says that though, I just ward it off by saying something else. So my question is...should I tell her that I like her, or keep that secret safe with me? (link)
| |
This is difficult because if she is dating one of your friends, you don't want to complicate the relationship or cut it short. I would wait until the relationship was over. If you are already good friends with her, after the realtionship ends you should tell her. What do you have to lose?
