im trying to loose weight
and i have ddr
and i was wondering if i do that would it help me loose weight?
and if it does how long should i do it for??

yes, it will help. there should be a "workout mode" or "exercise mode" on there, and as you dance it tells you how many calories you burn, how many steps you take, how many miles you dance, and all kinds of stuff. normally i can burn about 10 calories in a minute doing that, so if you dance for 20 minutes that's around 200 calories!

I am 13 and I am not muscley and manly at all, but I am like really strong. I beat all my girl friends in arm wrestling and arm things, and I can take pain. Guys always seem so impressed with the fact that I am so strong, and I can even beat some boys, and one guy even said if he had to choose someone to save his life out of all his friends it would be me. But I am wondering, do most guys find that disturbing and like petite weak girls that they can like beat easily? I lift small weights and do little arm exercise things sometimes, but then I think maybe I should stop doing that because it might be unattractive. Thanks!

i'm 15/f and have a lot of upper body strength. i play tenor sax in band at school so i always have to carry around this huge instrument case (i'm only about 5'3"). my guy friends are kind of impressed with my arm wrestling skills. i do intimidate some of my guy friends, but they're weaklings. i used to lift small weights but the only reason i quit was because my arms got so big that some of my shirts didn't fit! lol. but my guy friends are grossed out by really weak girls. and besides, i like being the strong chick because i don't ever need help lifting stuff. actually, i've had some guys offer to carry my saxophone when i've had my hands full and they're always like, "good gravy, how do you carry this?!" anyway, guys still treat me the same but they know that they can't take advantage of me or i'll beat them up.

Ok so I'm going on a blind date today except I know who I'm going with and I know what he looks like, and he is smoldering hot. Whereas I am so-so.
My friend and his girlfriend wanted to go doubled-dating so she picked smolderinghot guy and my friend picked me.
I really want him to like me though, I'm a little shy. Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with a really hot, really popular guy? My friend's girlfriend says he's really sweet but I'm intimidated.
So any advice other than just be myself? Thanks in advance.

he's probably nervous too! think about it... he doesn't really know what to expect either! okay, so if he's sweet then it will be easy for you to talk to him and get to know him. in my eyes, it's better for you to talk a lot than to not talk at all because then it might be awkward for you too. then again, it's a double date, so it's not like it's ever going to be silent. he's going to be interested in your personality, hobbies, whatever, so don't hold back! ask him about his favorite things to do, sports he plays, his family, pets, stuff like that. this is going to sound really random, but you could always watch mtv... they have shows about blind dates and stuff and you can kind of see different examples of what you could talk about. don't try too hard to come up with something to say, though, just say whatever comes to mind! he's not going to analyze everything that comes out of your mouth so if you say something stupid then chances are he won't even notice. he's probably just as worried about saying something stupid. be yourself and have fun! and don't forget to smile :)

I'm sixteen years old and people tell me I'm really good at picking out clothes and looking cute. The problem is no matter what dress I try on it look bad on me. I'm kinda pear shaped and I have wide hips. Do you know of any styles of dresses or places I could find dresses that would most likely look good on me?

i have the same problem that you have (and my older sister does too). for skirts i like a cute a-line type, or even a kind of a-line swishy skirt (i never go with a straight skirt, it just looks bad on me). i normally wear a cute tank top or whatever with it because it contrasts swishy/loose and cute/tighter (but not extremely tight). if i have to wear it to school then i might add a cute sweater or wrap or something because we have a strict dress code. and for dresses i go with the same look with the a-line type bottom and more of a simple top half of the dress... i have some dresses that are like, cocktail attire and they have a swishy bottom and a tighter spaghetti strap top. all in all it seems to work well for me. my sister and i are eight years apart but we wear the same size so when she looks good in something i go buy something similar :)

hi 14/f
im 5,5 and 125 pounds
is that fat normal
please help me
if i am fat
how do i get skinny?

you're actually just the right weight. other columnists have given you the www.am-i-fat.com website, so you can go see for yourself. if you feel like you want to get in shape, they have dieting instructions and exercises and stuff. pretty handy stuff. but if i were you, i wouldn't change a bit.

Would a denim jacket & khacki pants look good together? I can't find ANYTHING to match a denim jacket?? ANY IDEAS?!

i think denim jackets go best with jeans, as long as they're the same wash. i wouldn't go for the khaki pants/denim jacket, but i doubt anybody is going to thing you're a freak if you wear that.

I am having a sweet sixteen and was wondering how i could get a celebrity to play at my party

go to the band website, go to the "contact" page (or maybe booking, whichever) and give them a call/email. if they're not already booked, they should be happy to come play at your party (but it will cost a lot of money, but i'm sure you're aware of that). anyway, sounds like fun! my parents have a lot of parties (we own a business that rents out stage/audio/lighting equipment) and we have bands come play and it's always really awesome.

Last year I took Algebra 1, and I sucked at it, but it wasn't me, it was the teacher. At the end of the year she ended up passing everyone in my class by one or two points, probably to make herself look good, because we were all failing miserable. Point is, I'm still moving onto Geometry next year..but I know absolutely nothing about Algebra 1, I didn't get anything out of that class. My mom will be getting me a tutor outside of school & I have notes on Algebra 1 now. But my question is, is Geometry harder than Algebra 1? Or is it similar? Does it deal with Algebra 1 alot/at all? Thank you.

i've heard that if a student doesn't do well in algebra i, they excel in geometry... and vice versa. i'm sure it's possible to be good at both, but from what i've heard, algebra and geometry are very different.

i have a question : this might seem wierd but can a 12 year old boy have six pack abs? thank for you help.

yes, but not common. i actually met a boy that just turned 12 and had a six pack. i was like, "whoa, how do you have a six pack?" and he was like, "what? i don't even do crunches." so it was natural for him, i guess.

For the SATs, do you have to define a word for the vocabulary section, and if so, how many definitions are there?

i haven't taken the new SAT, but i took the old one when i was in the seventh grade (2 years ago) and there were some definitions and stuff. as i recall, there were fill in the blanks and some that asked for like, synonyms and antonyms of words, and all kinds of stuff. normally there are like five or six answer choices.

ok so i just got my tetenus shot today and i know your arm is supposed to be soar, and mine is. its really tight feeling and stuff, and i was wondering if there was any way i can relieve some of the tightness or if i just have to wait it out

as far as i know, you'll just have to wait it out. the pain from mine went away in about a day, maybe even less. it sucked because i play piano, but it was only a day. it would probably help if you tried to not use it a whole lot (and by this i mean that if you play softball/baseball, maybe you shouldn't play for a day or two and it will feel better a lot sooner). soon enough, you'll forget about the weird feeling, and once you remember it'll be gone! haha, that's what happened to me. i left school early, got my shot, and went back to school and totally forgot about it until i was trying to eat dinner and my arm was hurting from holding my fork.

Does anyone have any good love songs? You know how couples have 'songs'? I'd really like a list of some, please. I like being reminded of my boyfriend. Nothing to well known please. You know?

pretty much anything by john mayer (city love, only heart, etc.)
bonnie raitt - love letter, thing called love, something to talk about (pretty much all her songs are about love)
counting crows - goodnight elisabeth
eric clapton - wonderful tonight
the doors - love me two times
the soundtrack from moulin rouge
john legend - ordinary people
jonny lang - back for the taste of your love
norah jones - be here to love me, and above ground
oasis - love like a bomb
ugh, my ipod just died. i was going through that looking for songs. anyway, those are just a few i like.

I've done searching on google, but I can't find out how many calories I should be eating, each time I eat. I'm a 13 year old female, and I weigh around 115, (last time I checked) I'm not fat, nor skinny. I want to prevent any further "chubbyness" so I would like to eat better. But how many calories should I be eating at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and for snacks?
Any correct information, or links to sites that can help me is appreciated. =]

you might want to try http://www.am-i-fat.com. they have all sorts of stuff there, all you enter is your age, height, and weight and it pretty much tells you how much you should be consuming and how much you should burn. it also says what activities burn however many calories. it's handy. :)

i want to get white etnies. would they look bad if i wore skirts and capris or no? thanks

i'd say yes to most shorts and capris, but i think that if the skirt was like, summery and fun and stuff that it would be okay too. just probably not a really dressy skirt, more like a swishy summery skirt. lol.

So I wanted to get a big tote bag for the school year. I wanted something that's going to be durable and can hold all my books, and yet still be cute and stylish.
Any suggestions?

my mom got this free gift tote bag from a makeup store and it's pink and pretty cute. i sometimes use it when i have to haul huge yearbooks back and forth from my house to school (i'm yearbook editor). you might try http://www.ebags.com. they have all different kinds of bags there and you can probably find what you're looking for. i've seen people carry around beach bags that they found at target and random places. and they're really cute. now that i think about it, you might even try http://www.target.com and see if they have any cute bags. good luck :)

OK, I was at a friends house, drinking & having fun. My best friends husband is always messing around & teasing & joking. No big deal. We're all friends. Well, he kept making comments to me like about my tan getting darker & things like that. He kept touching me most of the night. (I mean just little nudges, touching my arms & things like that). Then, my friend had to leave to take her other friend home, so, we were just talking. We started talking about some pics he took of me & I thought they looked stuped & he said, I dont know why you say that, I think you look good. Then, when his wife came back, we were all going to see the fireworks & he said, "I am sitting up frint with you." Now, seriously, I dont need a lecture about etiquette. I am not thinking on acting on this at all. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if he maybe likes me or is he just a "friendly" flirt? Thank You.

from what you've said, i think that he's not got his wife's (or your) best interest in mind. however, if he was drinking, i guess that might explain a little bit of it. maybe he had too much. but if this goes on while you're both sober, then i'd advise you to stay as much out of it as you can. hopefully it'll blow over. anyway, i think he was just being his usual self, plus some alcohol. so no worries, until he tries to pull something some other time. otherwise i think he's just being friendly. but if you feel uncomfortable with him, perhaps you should talk to your best friend about it (but only if it becomes a big problem). good luck.

My dance teacher just said I could make up my own jazz/hip hop routine for my 12th year recital. Anyone have any good ideas for songs?

So I've got a bit of acne that I'd love to get rid of. I've proactive and many over the counter lotions to get rid of it, and it didnt go away. My question is, should I get something like Differin, a prescription lotion/cleanser, or the Zeno zit zapper?

and if anyone on here has Zeno, how well does it work?

I use Differin and Evoclin (a foam type stuff). They're both prescriptions. For a few weeks the Differin didn't make any difference, but the Evoclin started working within a few days use. I would highly recommend this stuff because after only a few months, I'm nearly acne free.
