Hey! My name is Kathryn and I am 14. I live in a suburb of Chicago.
I would say that I am a very friendly, loving, adventurous, helping, funny, crazy, outgoing, kinda person.
Some of my intrests include hanging out and talking to friends, helping people, playing soccer, playing basketball, playing ddr, going online, listening to music, drawing, going shopping, reading, and watching movies.
I just love giving people advice and helping them with their problems...I want to either be a counselor or social worker when I grow up.
I try my best with answering questions, and I hope that I can help you!

I am 16 and a female. I have gone out with both a girl and a guy but i dont know which way to go. How do you know if its the right path? And how do you meet other girls with the same intersets? (link)
|
Hey! Ummm... I think that you may be bisexual...which is not a bad thing. It just means that you're not sure if you like guys or girls or if you like both. I think that you should experiment going out with both guys and girls. Whichever date you feel more comfortable on I would go out with that sex. But it's up to you to make that decision.
Good Luck

My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and I just had my period. I usually have it for 4 or 5 days but I only had it for 3 this time. The first two days it was very heavy. I had to change my tampon (regular absorbancy) every hour. Thats a lot for me but still it was only heavy like that for 2 days .. Im really nervous. I just want to know if u guys think I could be pregnant. I dont feel any different at all.. no stomach aches or dizzieness. Please help.. I rate high! (link)
|
Well, I don't think that you are pregnant. You got your period so it is almost impossible for you to be pregnant. Your period is probabally a lot shorter and is heavier because you just had sex, it can make it change or make it irregular. As for having unprotected sex...use a condom next time because it is better to be safe than sorry.
Good Luck

Ok so I usually get my period around the 12th or 13th. In April I got it the 23rd. What time of the month should I expect to get it in May? The time I usually do or the time I had it last? (link)
|
There's not really a way to tell when exactly you are going to get your next period. One good way is to keep track the starting and ending dates of when you get your periods. Keep track of this for a good couple of months. Then count the days in between each end to the next start. That is how long your cycle is. Count that number of days from your last period to find out about when you are going to get your next period.
Good Luck

i have got a drama script to lern for this thursday and i have tried everything to lern it,i think i know ity but i go on stage and i forget it. and i dont know what to do. we haev been staying afta school till 8-9 clock in the evenning,now the drama techer is having a massive go at me, i ended up crying cos i was so frustraiting. anyone got a special way to lern it, i ll neeed your advice soon plse guys xx (link)

Hey! I know exactly how you feel, not being able to memorize things. When I have to memorize things the first thing I do is re-write all of my lines on a seperate piece of paper. Just writing it again and again gets you to know the lines better. Also, maybe have someone help you practice...like give them the script and you read it to them. They can tell you if you are right or wrong and they can even help you if you get stuck on something. Also just try to relax on the stage. When you are nervous you are more likely to forget things. Write your toughest lines on your hands or on notecards so you can sneak a peek once in a while.
Good Luck

a girl at my school has been going through a very tough time lately. her dad left 3 weeks ago and she just found out that she might be pragnant. this would be much easier if she WASN'T 13!!! but she is and we are best friends. im the only one that knows about the pregnant thing. what do i tell her i rate high for a real answer
thanx (link)
|
Hey! I think that the best thing that you can do for your friend right now is to just stick by her side through all of this. She is probably feeling really mad, sad, lonely, and depressed since she might be pregnant and her dad just left. Be there for her and talk to her and listen to her. To find out for sure if your friend is really pregnant try getting an at home pregnancy test or go to: http://www.plannedparenthood.com to find a planned parenthood that's close to you so you could go there. Your friend is going through some tough times so you should just try to comfort her.
Good Luck

k im 14, 5'8 and 110 lbs...so yeah im really slim, but not in a gross way. anyway, i've been getting alot of exercise lately because i started training for jr olympic volleyball...on the other hand, i've had a huge appetite and been eating a ton. also for background info, i have a very high metabolism. anyway, i've noticed im starting to get a bit of a tummy and it makes me feel sad! its probably diverting attention from my boobs too...whats the easiest way for me to get my flat stomach back (and don't suggest anything dietary...i love food)...specific exercises? thanks (link)
|
Hey! Well I suggest that you do crunches, situps, running, jogging, walking, some sort of sports activity or some kind of aerobic excercises that get your heart going. That would probably help you lose your tummy. Check out http://www.toneteen.com/exercises/stomach.htm for more information.

love, erin (link)

Well, I think that you should keep doing the leg lifts but do some other exercise like squats, jumping jacks, curls, lunges, running, jogging, walking, hurdles or just jumping, or some other exercises to work with your legs. Check out this website: http://www.toneteen.com/exercises/legs.htm
for more info.

ok, i was just looking at my fingernails and i noticed on a few i have white spots.I seem to always have them.What are they?Is there any way to prevent them? (link)
|
I used to have this problem also. It is because a lack of zinc. Try to eat foods with zinc in them or try to buy some zinc vitamins at a health store or vitamin srote. If you try this, those white spots on your fingernails will eventually go away (atleast it did for me)!
Good Luck

Here is the thing, I have been a dancer for this is my 11th year. Ive been dancing at the same studio all my life and ive grown to know and love the place and the people associated with it. But there was a fire a few months ago in a building in the same plaza. Now the ceiling of the studio needs to be taken off. Now my teacher is looking for a new place to go. She found something but it requires fixing up and whatnot. Bottom line: What are some good, ORIGINAL, fundraisers we could do? Not selling candy bars. xO ali (toxic x babii x3) (link)
|
hmmmm...let me think. You could: have a carwash, bake sale, talent show, dance contest, a karaoke night, you could have a lock in sleepover(if they let you), have a picnic, some sort of sports fundraiser(like have a game and have people pay to watch), or find something else to sell(maybe something that you make?) I don't know... this is all that I can think of right know.

To all of you girls out there! Is it true that sometimes when you get your period your face can breakout?
Thanks (link)
|
Yes this is very true! It is caused by hormones, and when you are around the time of your period or are on your period your skin is more prone to break outs because your hormonesare really active.

i need a new screen name? can someone please help me. i want something with hollister,abercrombie and im really preppy. any ideas? thanks (link)
|
Hey! Well maybe you should try some of these:
Hollisterbabe
Hollisterchick
Hollistercrazy
or
Abercrombiebabe
Abercrombiechick
Abercrombiecrazy
I don't know. Maybe you should use these ideas and maybe add numbers at the end, change the spelling of some things (for example crazy=crazee or chick=chic or chik) or something like that. Maybe try capitalizing some of the letters randomly.
Good Luck
I hope this helps

I have liked this girl since she came to my new school in January, and well i think she knows but shes always been sort of meen to me but i think she's just playing i cant tell. I had my hair long and i recently cut it because i got in a fight with my mom(lol), but it looks retarted and i hate it and well i was talking to my friends and they said that she had a little crush on me when i had my hair lol, i dont blame her, and well it just hurts so bad because she will never know how much i care for her and now she is like alot more meen to me it's just the wrong time because i'm going through alot... what do i do? (link)
|
Hey! I think that you should talk to this girl. Ask her why she is always mean to you. Then if things go well, maybe you should just tell her that you like her. Who knows, maybe the reason she is mean to you is because she has a crush on you (I know this may sound weird, but it's true). Well yeah, I hope this works out well for you.
Good luck

Lately i have been sad all the time im never happy anymore im always mad and sreaming or sad aand crying.. why im i like this all of a sudden..
(link)
|
Well it sounds like to me that you're having mood swings. They are caused by hormones or when you are under a lot of stress. If you are a giurl you probably are going to get your period soon, but if your a guy i don't know(sorry). Try taking a break and just do something that you like a lot, and maybe with your friends. It will help cheer you up.
I hope this helps

I was friends with this girl named Tina for a whole grade before we grew apart. REcently, her mother died from cancer, and whenever I saw her after that she acted like she was fine, so I always made sure to act cheery and bright around her, and to pretend as though it never happened. My other friends all tell me I'm heartless and pretending like it never happened to her is just going to make it worse. What do I do? (link)
|
Well since her mom just died, I bet she feels pretty sad or depressed. She probably needs someone to just sort of be there for her since her mom's not. Just talk to her about if she will talk. Also just be really nice to her and understanding, and just stick by her side the whole time. I know this may be hard for you since she's probably depresseed and you're not really that great of friends right now, but I know she probably needs you. Oh yeah...and just pretending it didn't happen isn't really good i don't think.
Good Luck

hey i do great in every subject but science and i am getting grounded for like every little thing i am missing i mean this one guy is missing like 21 and i am only missing like 2 what should i do
i rate high
(link)
|
Hey! I don't really see a problem with only having two missing assignments...I mean no one's perfect. And you said that you already do good in school.....But anyways if you want to get ungrounded just study harder, try your best, and make sure you do the rest of your homework. Also, maybe you can make up the assignments that you are missing so that you can get a better grade on them.
Good luck

I have a sunburn on my forehead from a week ago. Now it's starting to peel, even though I put lotion on it everyday. Are there any creams I can put on it or something? Thanks so much! -Manders (link)

I think that you should try aloe vera gel. It works really good when you have sunburn or irritated skin because it soothes it and eventually makes it go away.
Good luck
