I really need to start taking my own advice.

advice

Okay so my state (TN) has decided to mandate that every student K-12 get 90 minutes of excersize a week. Well they are using our homeroom time at my school to do just that. I think it is incredibly stupid because its not the school's responsibility to tell us what to do as far as excersizing goes. It is so damn retarded I can hardly stand it. I HATE coming to school now. OMG as if it wasnt bad enough LETS THROW IN SOME EXCERSIZE!!! Plus my homeroom teacher is strict with the rules, so if we dont do these excersizes every morning, she will write us up. I dont feel like I can talk to her because she wont understand. And I cant sit there and object while everyone else is doing it because that will draw negative attention to me. I get enough attention as it is for being fat. And thats not the reason I dont want to do the excersizes. It's just that 15 minutes is a long time for someone who is as heavy as I am and its embarassing to have my fat jiggle around for the whole freaking class to watch and laugh at. I would much prefer to excersize in PRIVACY where I dont have to worry about what I look like. High school is bad enough as it is. I think this is pure torture and I really want to refuse to do it. But I dont want to bring negative attention to myself. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? and what is your opinion on our new state law??

Personally, I think school is for learning and nothing more. If they America is too overweight, they should stop the manufacturing of fast foods and sodas which primarily cause the problems. I do not believe it is fair to a child to force them to exercise, plus this could put pressures on them as over weight students like you said. I could understand how it would be very embarressing as a heavy child to have to exercise in front of a teach and their peers.

I would talk to your friends, and write letters to your governers and principals. You could even start a petition, also talk to you parents maybe they can help too! In the meantime, just try to do as your told. Its the only way kids can survive in this world without constant punishment. I am so sorry you have to deal with this sort of odd reasoning at your school. But only you can make a difference if you're willing to speak out.

Good Luck

I have SUPER thin straight hair. The only thing I know to do for it is well leave it straight. Do you know of anything I can do thats "cute" but will also last. (Pictures websites anything) Thanks :)

When you get out of the shower, wrap it up in a towel. Get dressed then upwrap it, it should be somewhat curly. *Be sure its still somewhat wet!* Use Garnier Curl Construct Mousse and scrunch your hair. The more you scrunch the curlier it'll be. Make sure you do the under parts of your hair as well. Let that dry for a little bit. Then, when its slightly wet still spray John Frieda Curl Spray in your curls to hold them, continue to let dry.

I like to use Garnier Sleek and Shine Anti-Humidity hair spray when its dry, because I live down south and its so daggum humid! Lol!

I hope you like the style.
I get compliments on it all the time.

I subscribed to vogue & teen vogue on july 11th. it's now august 2nd and both of them still haven't come. Is this normal? Does it always take a long time?

Yeah, I didn't get mine until two and a half months later. If it becomes way to long, just call them and ask. :)

How can i kiss a boy if i don't know if he wants to kiss me ?
How can i know that a boy wants to kiss me ?
How can i make him to kiss me vithout telling him in one day ?

Just kiss him. There will be no sure way he wants to unless he flat out tells you or you see a positive reaction from him after you've kissed.

Just work up the courage and go for it. I did that once, and I'm now in love with my boyfriend of 5 months :]

and if you hhave seen it, and it's like the one where her dad buys her a present, when she shows lily the presents her dad bought her before, do you know how to do that hairstyle? i loved it!!


Please, don't say..oh, she has a proffesional designer. Do you have the website for where you can buy those clothes? please, and thank u



srry it's long!

I see you didn't get many answers for this question, but I can help on the clothes part. Alot of her clothes are from American Eagle. If you notice alot of them have the eagle on them. Also, I have several shirts that she wears and they are all from Forever 21. Try stores like that, Charlotte Russe, Macy's, and Wet Seal.
Get creative, layer, mix and match, and never forget accessories!

What are some really good songs for like working out or basically practicing volleyball? Anything helps! And if your going to say something that is like "this is a stupid ass questions" or blah blah blah don't bother answering, because I got that twice and I really don't need that. I just am wondering if anyone knows any good "pump up" music. Thanks! :]

I like Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne
Boom Boom Boom & We Like to Party -The Vengaboys
SOS- Rhianna
Just Lose it by Eminem
Any of Cascada's music
Jerk it Out by the Ceasers
Dirty Little Secrety -All American Rejects
Spice Girls
Temperature -Sean Paul


None of these have anything to do with volleyball, but they're all great songs I listen to while I'm setting. :]

Alright, well im pretty young and me and my boyfriend have been going out since may 11th and were really close i'v told him thing's not even my best-friends know! and i think i might acctually love him! my mom calles it puppy love but i haven't felt this way about anybody before! now onto the problem. he had to go for the summer, though he hurt himself on his skateboard on purpose so he wouldn't have to leave so soon. but now he's gone and we really only get to talk on msn since he had to leave to work at his cousins and he's usually working. and on msn we ran out of thing's to say. and he's wondering if were gonna stay together and he thinks thing's are gonna be weird when he get's back because were not talking a whole lot now and it's just making me really worried, that were gonna break up. we said we'll keep going out and see how thing's are going to be when he get's back. but it' just made me really worried, i felt sick to my stomach and really weak after he talked to me about it, and i cried alot. but im just wondering does this sound like just a phase?

Thank's For The Help In Advance =D

My boyfriend went to Europe for a month recently. I will be honest, it was very hard for me. I have some trust issues, just because I can be an insecure person and he was with a pretty girl that I do not like. Well, when he was gone he'd call every once in a while .. but we too ran out of things to say quickly. So, I wouldn't worry about that, its normal.

The hardest part will be when he returns, since him and I had been so far apart it was awkward getting back to the couple we used to be. We just tried doing the same things we did before he left, and after a week or so were stronger then ever.


While he's away, try new things. Change your room around, make new friends, and chill with your old friends you might have put aside. Go to an amusement park, read a book, or see some movies you've been wanting to see. The days when I had nothing to do were the hardest days for me, so keep yourself busy!

If your boyfriend does end up calling things off, make sure you two have both discussed it. If you believe you're in love, then love can survive a vacation. Tell him how much he means to you, and that when he gets back everything will eventually go back to normal.

I'm so sorry he has to be away.

Okay when you have sex in water doesnt the water go up you? And cant the chemicals harm you that are in the pool if you have sex in it ? I mean is it really safe to and does any harm come from it?

THANKS.

I saw this one an episode of Talk Sex with Sue. She stated that if you have sex in water, you have a higher risk of causing damage to your uterus and other parts. See, when the man thrusts his penis inside you .. water and water pressure get pushed up in there as well. This amount of pressure has done damage to many people, however most of them never realized it was due to having sex in water. Also, what the other advicer said isn't true. The water normally doesnt go up there because of bouyancy.

Ok. so last year (or the year before i guess) I really really liked this guy. I mean, he was just my idea of an angel. He was sweet,funny, cute and smart. Well, he found I liked him, and I found out that he wasn't so sweet. He completely flipped, and I was heartbroken. I told people I didn't care because it softened the reality, but It took me a long time to get over that.
Well, a couple of days ago I met this AMAZING guy. He's funny, smart, he loves music as much as I do, he's adorable, and he is really really sweet.. Well, I just met him and I fell hard, and a lot of people have told me that we'd be cute together and blah blah blah. I find it kind of hard to believe that I like him as much as I do because we just met, but thats just my logic talking, but when I see him, or just think about him, my heart goes crazy and I can't help but smile.
I really like this guy, but I guess I'm just afraid of getting hurt again.
I don't really know how to word my question, but if you know what I mean, advice would be greatly appreciated. =]

Hey there :)
Try and just be his friend for a while. When you get very comfortable around him, kick it up a notch and try flirting! You know, the classic hugs goodbye, casual touches of the arm, laughing at his jokes, hanging out, the works. See if he flirts back. My test to see if a guy is interested .. smile. Smile at him from across the room, if you get an eager smile back; its a yes!

And don't worry about getting hurt. The way I think of it is that if you get hurt in the end, it only makes you stronger. Try to relax and enjoy your young age. Love hard, live easy.

Okay you dont know how much I hate my life. I moved away from my life to a different state and I live in this hick town and it seems like everyone secretley hates me and a lot of people arent allowed to hang out with me because of things i said ( i get mad easily) and my so called friends told everyone i was cheating on my boyfriend with my best friend ben and christian. ben and christian had both asked me out and i said no because i was with Ian and i love ian so much. but word got around and he believed them so he dumped me and it hurts. and i never have anything to look forward too. My grades are still good. and ian had recently told me he was mooving to colorado and he had moved here during the school year and I cant gt over it the last thing he had said about me was i was a ***** and he hated me. and my last chance to say goodbye left

Take this time to restart your life. Regrets are yours to forget, or your life is yours to miss. Think about it, he's gone. Yes, it probably hurts more then I could imagine; but boys are just boys.

Spend summer vacation finding yourself. Pickup a hobby, develope a style. Start new activities and get to know new people. Smile to everyone on the streets and compliment when appropriate. Find the good in people and try to make your life a little easier. You can make things better, it just takes a little push from somewhere deep down. Yeah, this probably seems lame and cliche. But moving on is the only way to forget your pain, and become the person you want to be.

I am truly sorry you have to deal with this. As a teenage girl I understand your pain and wanting everything to be better. But the truth is that life just doesn't seem to work that way.
Good luck on starting over.

On my new phone, it says "One Touch Dialing" On, Or off.
Its set to on.
What the heck is it??

Is it a Chocolate? I had mine on One Touch Dialing, and when I would press one of the side buttons while my phone was closed, it would call the last person I had talked to.

I like it off.

We (the administrators of the site) received a report that you used somebodys inbox to chat. You said hey and that you liked their advice. While comments like that are appreciated, we have forums and a site chatroom for anything of that context. Inboxes are for questions only. Because you have no prior record of abuse with us (inbox chatting is a bannable offense) I'm not going to ban you. I'm just letting you off with a warning. So from now on, if you want to chat with someone, use a forum or the chatroom. Users inboxes and the pool are for questions only. Thank you =D

Okay, I apologize. I don't understand how to use a forum or the chat room. I wasn't aware that leaving a comment like that was that serious. My apologizes again and thanks for the warning.

Im starting a new school next year.
Im 16/f. Im pretty shy :) Any advice on making new friends and being more confident?

Be yourself. Always be sure to smile at people in the hall. It gives the impression that you're friendly and open to talk to which is what you want. You'll also have to approach people; say hi, ask how their day is going. You could ask some people about their lives like what they like to do in that town or how they like the school. Opening topics are endless. Just be confident and have fun! :)

im tired of being at home. its so boring and its summer break! my mom wont let me out of the house if i decide i want to go with my friends she will only let me go oncew or twice a week the rest i stay here at home bored to death. my cable doesnt work so i cant watch tv. i get so mad because she barely lets me go out. i tell her to please let me go out because its summer break and she says no that i cant be out so muhc. but im 15 turning 16 in a few days!! im not a baby and i keep telling her that. ugh what should i do? comments? advcie? anything is helpful, thanks!

I've found out when talking to parents, it helps so much to act mature. Don't get all whiney and say things like "I hate you, its not fair!" If you aren't a baby anymore, don't act like one. Just a heads up to help you out some.

Sit her down, ask her: "Mom, I'm almost 16. Why am I not allowed to have some fun with my friends during summer? I spend all school year working hard, I think I deserve some fun during my break."

If she says no still, ask her why. If her response is "Because I said so." Tell her you are trying to have a mature conversation with her about your life and an answer like that isn't helping.

You could even try to make a trade like if she lets you go out more you'll take on more house hold chores. That usually works with my mom.

If then she STILL says no, you can either go to your dad (if he's availible) or try some new things around the house. Paint your nails, redecorate your room, take up a new hobby etc.

I was just wondering what age some of you got your period at. Cuz im 14 and i still havent got mine.

I got mine when I was 12. I have a friend who got hers in 4th grade, and another who got hers in 5th grade. However, I also have friends who are 15 and still haven't gotten theirs. I consider them lucky. Although I remember wanting mine before I actually got mine, so I understand.

Do long distance relationships work?
Or what are your views on them?
I'm not thinking of starting one, but a friend is and I was just wondering what others thought about them.

From my point of view, they don't work out too well. There is to much of an issue with trust for most younger people to handle. Now, if you were in love with someone then they moved away I could understand the situation easier.

Also, I believe the hugging, kissing, and little things couples do together strengthen the relationship. So being away just wouldn't add up to being a strong relationship. For some people they work. But for me, lets just say its not my slice of cake.

whats a really good shampoo && conditioner 4 hair??(btw im blonde if it helps)

Personally I love Garnier Fruitics. (Sorry for my spelling)

They have so many choices and they always seem to get the job done. I wouldn't recommend Herbal Essences nor Dove because I have tried both and they left me with a waxy coating after. Pantene is great as well if you're looking for reasonable prices.

If you want more salon quality, I love Biolage. It always leaves a great smell and revitalizes my hair.

i dont no what to do with my hair.
like whats a good shampoo
cuz my hair is like kinda greasy ew.

Try Pantene's Daily Clearifying shampoo. Its strips your hair of an excess oil, but its gentle enough to use often. I still only like to use it once a week, just to really clean up my hair. Other then that, try using less conditioner or only conditioning the ends.

I've also been told by stylists that washing your hair less makes it less greasy believe it or not. You are supposed to wash your hair every three days. Now, I could never handle that. But if its something you're up to, I've heard it works. It does take some time for you and your hair to get used to it though.

Good Luck
