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!

Yesterday my friend pierced my ears. I was wondering how long I have to leave them in before I can change them? Thanks! (link)

You have to leave in the earrings for about 6-8 weeks. And don't forget to twist them everyday and clean them with rubbing alcohol or else they will get infected...and you don't want that!
good luck
I hope i helped

well i just got my period on friday (aobut 5 days ago) and i used these pads for a few days..but they are so long and fat in width! so then i went to the store and i got a thiner one width way but then its like really thick! and your can see it through my shorts that i have to wear for volleyball! are there any kinds or brands that i should know of that would work for my problem??? and i was wondering how long it normally takes a girl to learn to use a tampon..scince summer is coming up..i jus got a inground pool so all of my friends will be over here like 24/7! thxs so much! (link)

Hey! Soo...They do make pads that are called thin or ultra thin. (a good brand where you can find these is Always). Also it depends on when a girl feels comfortable in order to where a tampon. Try practicing using one when your not on your period to get used to it.

My 14t birthday is May 12 and I want to have some sort of party. My mom thinks i'm too old but all of my friends tell me my parties are awesome and keep asking me if i'm having one this year. I want to maybe just have some friends over not have a huge party. First I need to know how to get my mom to let me have a "party" and then I need ideas for things to do. (link)
|
Hey! Well since your mom doesn't really want you to have a big party just tell her that you want to hang out with some of your friends on your birthday. Just invite a couple friends to the movies or something. That would be fun. Or you could just have a couple of friends hang out at your house and just talk and eat. Or maybe you could have some friends sleep over. That's all I can think of for now.
Good Luuck

i have a really complicated sitch but here it goes: ive been with guy A for a bit over a month and since hes really shy, he wont talk to me or make time to be with me.he doesnt like talkin on the phone, in person and he never checks his email. i was the one that asked him out for this reason. he said he liked me and everything but he never shows it and im guessing its cuz hes a bit immature.
anyway, guy B has been my friend for a lil while and i got him together with one of my girlfriends (cuz he liked her) then she broke up with him for no reason...hes a sweetie and did everything to make her happy (he was goth and he kinda changed for her) its been 5 weeks since they broke up and i was talking to him about guy A and how i wasnt sure about him. he told me that bad side about him and how i should wait or just be paitient. then when he was helping me (after talking for 5 hours online) he admitted he liked me. im so confused... i like them both and well im on the verge (dumping guy A) and guy B is on the rebound so i dont know if its "real". please give me your honest view and help. ill rate you for answering honestly...not just go with the first thing that goes through your mind. (link)

This is just my opinion...but I don't think that 'Guy A' sound like a good boyfriend. You even said yourself that he never really makes time to be with you. Since 'Guy B' has been your friend, you talk to him a lot more often, and he even said that he liked you...then I think 'Guy B' sounds like he would be a better boyfriend. That's just my opinion though. It's really your opinion that counts the most!
Just trust your heart with whatever decision you make!
Good luck

on AIM, when you put your cursor over someone's screen name, it says "Service, Warnings, Online Time, Capabilities" right?
Well when I put my cursor over my best friend's screen name, it says all of those things, but the last thing says "Comments: BFF"
She said she didn't put it there, so how did it get there? Is there a way to give certain people secret messages when they hover over your screen name? If anyone knows, how? Thanks (link)
|
I have aim and i put comments for almost all of my friends. How you do it is you right click on the screen name you want to comment. Then you click on 'Store/Edit Buddy Comment' and put your comment there.
i hope this helps

hi...i really need help. i am on a dance team and they told me that i had to lose weight. this was about a year and a half ago. right when they told me that i had to lose weight to stay on the team i started getting ideas that i was too fat. and now i think im fatter than fat. so during that i year i decided to skip a meal to see if that would help but then i started to skip 2 meals and now im not eating at all. my best friend keeps saying that im anorexic but i dont want to believe it and i dont think its true. either way i am really scared because im losing weight really fast and all but i dont want to lose it this way and im scared that im going to die or something. i dont want to tell my parents so i dont scare them so what do i do......PLeASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!! (link)

Hey! Skipping meals is not a good choice in order to lose weight. It actually makes you gain weight because once you start to eat again your body is not used to it and your metabolism can't get going to burn it off! If you want to lose weight a healthy way I think that you should just try and eat healthier (don't skip meals or throw them up), and excercise. Try doing crunches or situps to tone up your stomach, and just do aerobic excersises to help you keep fit. For instance try running, jogging, walking, biking, or any other sports, basically anything to get your heart going.
Good Luck!

This is completely normal! Your period might not get regular until about 1-3 years after you first start. For more information just go to www.beinggirl.com. It helps alot. Also, if you have any more questions you can just ask me.

My parents have officially said that I can have the name as "going out" with someone. There's this guy I've had my eye on for a while, but he has turned me down on several occasions. We're not exactly friends, and I haven't exactly asked him out. He knows I like(d) him and he's kinda weirded out by it. At the next dance should I ask him to dance?
(oh, I'm 13/f) (link)
|
I say go for it and ask your guy to dance with you. It's worth a try. If he says no, don't be heartbroken...just ask him to be your friend. That way you can get to know each other better and maybe flirt a little bit together. You know they always say that a good relationship starts with a good friendship.
Good luck

What are some good workouts that can flatten/tone my abs in a couple of weeks? I'm not talking about a six-pack or anything ... just maybe a flatter stomach for the summer. I already do a 20min jog, leg lifts, crunches, and situps ... is there anything else that may help?
Thanks so much! (link)
|
I think that everything you said that you were doing already like jogging, leg lifts, crunches, and sit-ups is really great! If you try to do these things daily, I'm sure you will have a toned stomach by the time summer comes.
good luck!

I have a problem...I'm 15 and I weigh 100 pounds...good right??? Yeah I know! But there's always a downside...My stomach looks like it's 6 months pregnant! It's sooo fat and I always have to suck in but it still shows! Why do you think this is...and How can I deflate it?? (link)

Hey! If you are worried about your stomach you should try doing crunches or sit-ups because they help to tone up your stomach. Also, try doing aerobic excercises like running/walking, biking, or sports, basically anything to get your hgeart going. This helps to tone up your body and sometimes it helps to lose weight.

I need advice on how to make cleaning my room fun... it's so boring and i just hate doing it. My room is large, and there is stuff all over it. Any ideas to make cleaning it more fun? and maybe easier? Thanks very much! I'll rate good ideas! (link)
|
If you listen to music while you clean it helps you go faster and clean to the beat of the song. It helps me. Just put in one of your fav cds or blast the radio or somethiun. Also once your room is clean, keep it clean and you won't have to cean it as often.

My Mum hates me she hits me all the time wat can I do? (link)
|
You should certainly tell someone like a trusted adult or like a couselor or someone like that because thats just not right. You do know that is child abuse and it is against the law. Also you may want to try to talk to your mom and tell her to stop. If that doesn't work tell someone else.
I hope this helps

i just turned 14 and in janurary or feburary i got my first period. now its april and i havent had it since, i know irreguar periods are normal but for this long?!?! (link)
|
Yes this is normal. When you first get your period it may be very irregular... like you may get it twice one month and then skip another couple of months before you get it again. Your periods should become regular after about 1-3 years after getting your period, don't worry. But remember, every girl is different...so i guess it just depends.
Hope this helps
