About 4 months ago, I noticed that my teenage daughter was losing some weight, but only a little. As time progressed, she wouldn't stop losing weight, and she was a size 2. I started to worry about her and made sure that she ate dinner every day. However, she constantly made excuses for not eating, so we saw a therapist (this is about a month ago from now). In our second session, she admitted that she was anorexic. She now refuses to go back to the therapist. My question is this. I'm very worried about my daughter and her weight. Forcing her to eat would cause her to possibly develop bulimia and she would start to hate me, so how do I make sure that she eats?
You could try getting info on what being anorexic does to you and show it to her. Emphasize on not only how sick it makes you feel but LOOK as well. Show her how so many famous people who started off like her ended up deathly sick in the hospital.
Although it might seem hard not to, I don't think you should make a big deal about this towards her. Forcing her to stop would probably make her do it more. But she most likely won't be able to stop on her own. Maybe there's something more to it. Does she get alot of attention? Things like that.. maybe if you try spending alot of time with her and do things with her it will take her mind away from it. Keep her busy and watch her alot witout making it obvious. You should try letting her go to the therapist on her own if you haven't already. Let her talk to them in private about it and see if they can find out why without you being there, maybe she doesn't want you to know. There's a number of things that could be the reason so hopefully something helps her. Just make sure you get her some help before it's something she feels like she HAS to do, to pretty much live.
Try making new things for dinner or just snacks even if thats the least that she eats.
Good luck

Why don't clothes have expiration dates? I want new socks before they get holes.
Well basically they do. Like when they go out of style or get worn out. That's pretty much when they expire.

-watch movies
-do hair & makeup
-dress up & take pictures
-dance around
-eat
-prank call
-make videos

sorry if this is long but i reallt need advice.
ok i live with my dad, and i need to get bras. i need/ want a cupped bra to make my breasts look a lil' bit bigger....but
1. i dont know what size i am, and i dont know how to figure it out.
2. and i dont know which one would be right for me. i would like to have 1 regular sports bra, 1 regular cupped bra, and and 1 sports bra that is sorta cupped. how many bras do you think i should need? how do i get those with my dad? how do i resond when he says "a copped bra?!?" (kuz he's probably gonna say that) as much advice as possible!!!!!! plz help me!!! thx
Just tell him you need to go shopping for girl things. If he says what for just tell him you need a couple bras. You don't have to go in detail about it to him.
The ladies in the store can measure you if you like. And they can show you what ones would be best for you. Or you can do it yourself with a tape measure at home, then just go buy them yourself.
There's not a certain amount that you'll need. I have way too many to even count. Just start out with a few because you'll probably grow and need bigger ones soon. Anyways just start out with a few until you start to grow then get more that fit. If you need anything else send one to the inbox!

Here lately all i have been thinking about is how bad i want a girlfriend. but i never know which girl could be gay and which one isnt. im constantly judging girls. im not open about my sexuality yet, so of course no one knows. all i think about is what i would do for her, and how much i want one. in class i get distracted way to much thinkin about what i would do for her. someone please help. whats wrong with me?!?!?!
Nothing's wrong with you, it's most likely just a phase, you're curious. You'll probably get over it in a while, it happens to alot of girls believe it or not.

hi, well im 14 and a guy. i have medium legnth hair, thats kind of thick and curly. i want the back of my hair to stand up, like be spikey and not fall but it just wont happen! i dont know if its the hair or the dozens of products ive tried it with. any advice?
Well im guessing you're using gel of some sort. If you haven't tried using hairspray, I'd say that should def do it, if it's a strong hold kind. Or use both of them if one doesn't work, but put the gel in first.
Annnd if that doesn't work, try putting a straightening cream in it, it's like $14, anyways put that in it.. fix it how you want, then hairspray it.

Okay... so let me give you the background info. I'm gay and my partner is bi but he "prefers guys over girls." It is both our first relationship in a male-male preference and the problem i'm having is that it seems as if we're not really that close... in the sense that we've been going out for over a month we've been on 6 dates 2 of which sucked because parental issues and we haven't seen each other for about a week and a half... We haven't done anything kissing, cuddling, any of the sort the only type of body contact we've had is just hugging before either one of us leaves to go home... we're both UBER shy but when we're talking online it's like a whole different world/conversation... in the sense of both of us being really "sexual." He's homeschooled and I go to school. I don't start school until the 29th and this week he doesn't have any work so we promised each other that we are going to see a lot of each other before I start school. The problem is that I don't know whether or not this relationship is really worth it because I really like him, I think he really likes me... I just don't know exactly where this is going and I asked him what he thinks and he gave me the generic answer of "wherever we want it to go." Pretty cheesy huh? I've been having some thoughts lately of either breaking up with him or asking if he would consider an open relationship... I just need some help.. Give me some advice! Oh yeah.. he lives 30 minutes away from me and I think that's more of a problem to him than it is for me... So yeah.. if you need anymore information on my situation feel free to message me.
It would help knowing your age, but I still think I'd probably say the samething. You haven't exactly been going out THAT long, so it's not like you know each other real well considering all the other issues like distance. If you really like him and he really likes you, why would you end it? If you want a relationship to work, you have to make it work. Not just hope that it does and go about wondering what you should do. If i were you, I'd give it some time and see if there's things you can do to make time to see each other and get to know both of you better. Then if it's obviously not going to work, you'll know and that'll be the time to say byebyee.

Do you drink regular milk? Because if you do, there's a lactaid milk that's for that, that way you can still drink it. Or you could try lactase drops..
But if that's not what you want , there's a few things you could go make/eat on this website!

Sorry if that didn't help much, I just knew about the lactaid stuff because of my cousin!

I have a younger friend which is 10 and going through puberty...but not really but she might sooner or later; but that's not the question. Her best friend has already sprouted breasts and its getting time that she really needs to get a bra. Her mother keeps on telling her she doesn't need one, and I think that's stupid! I see them popping out, and when I got mine, I wanted to wear one because they don't look really good under t-shirts! What can I do? I really want to help her and she needs my help. Should I buy her one? Maybe if she gets one, her mom mot just agree...
Help!
You could take your friend shopping and buy her one. Take it home, let her put it on and show her mom how much better it looks with her wearing one.
Or just buy her one as a gift or something, and she could convince her mom on her own if you don't feel comfortable asking her mom.

I have a real problem finding jeans that fit. The only jeans for the most part that i own are hollister and i have 1 pair from aero
my problem is that because i am so short everyones jeans go up to my naval and are tighter in the waiste then looser in the crotch making what me and my sister call a "front butt"
i really like hollisters jeans and soem of aeros because they have a nice low waist and are tighter in the hips then a little loser or the same in the waiste and personally i think they look better and feel better
My problem is that i only have $25 left for school clothes and i can still afford a pair from aero and maybe a pair from hollister if they are on sale (which they have some now but they are dark and i like light ones) but i would prefer to get cheaper ones if i can
but my main question is what is a good department store brand that sells jeans that fit nice and are real low rise like hollisters because i am having a horrible time finding a pair
its like once you go low you can't go back!

-Lolas

So I like this boy Kyle. But I don`t know if he likes me. He's really good friends with my cousin. When hes around me and my cousins not there, hes very nice. He like jokes around and says nice stuff and we talk on the phone for hours. Okay but hes completely different around me when my cousin is there. He says like mean stuff and like I know hes joking kinda but he just acts so different. Is maybe he being shy because he doesnt want my cousin to know he likes me or that were good friends? I know some guys are like that when theyre shy. Any help or advice would be great.
Guys seem to be like that mostly when they're with their other guy friends.. normally to show off or because they like to keep it in private. I don't think it's any big deal or you should be worried or anything. But if it's bothering you, you should talk to him. No one knows if he likes you for sure but him.

i'm a 13/f and all of my friends have already started dating. i havent even found out 1 guy that even likes me! my best friends called up my crush and asked him if he likes me. he said i'm not his type and that i'm too tall. i play volleyball and he plays hockey. so i think we have things in commen. but i just dont get it. i'm about 5'6 or 5'7 and he's around that height too. i am so sad now because i feel so behind. all of my friends have bf's and i dont even have a guy that likes me! i need some advice on how to make myself feel better about myself. please help!!!! thanks soo much!
First of all if that guy didn't like you because you're too tall, then you can do better than him. Find guys that like you for you, not how tall you are or what you look like. 5'6, 5'7 isn't even that tall, the older you get the more you grow into your body and you'll be fine. And once you get the guys, you're gonna realize that you were worrying for nothing, cus really, it's not that great!

will aloe hurt my sunburn that i already peeled? also, i peeled a part off, and it now has a little cut there, not bleeding or anything, just a little cut, is that normal? THANKS!
Idk if this will help you or not, but my dad always told me if it burns, it's most likely healing and helping it. So whenever you get the chance to keep putting stuff on it and it should heal faster.
Sometimes i get bad burns like that where my bikini strap goes and it's almost like a blister. I always put aloe on and it works wonders.
If it hurts too bad to rub it on, get the spray kind and just spray it on and let it soak in itself.

ok i have a question. i was suppose to start on the 17th or 18th. well on the 16th i had sex with my boyfriend and he cumed in me. i haven't started my period yet. could the reason why i haven't started be bC of the fact i might be pregnant or is there another reason that i haven't started yet?
There's a possibilty you could be but most likely you aren't. Having sex before your period can sometimes cause it to be irregular and push it back a little. And as said before it may just be off a couple days.
