Ok so i have sort of a tiny pot belly. I've done so many sit-ups to try to get rid of it. The only thing that happens is a get really muscular, but on top of all my muscle i still have my pot belly. It's weird. So its like a muscular pot belly.

Second, i have a crease right where my underwear line is. My underwear is not small on me so i dont know where the crease came from

Do you know what both of these are and how i can get rid of them???

Theese are just normal. Some pot bellys are from other family members, so blame them. Lol, if you REALLY don't like it though, you might want to see a doctor.

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

I say, until they aren't red or 5-10 weeks.

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?

Those are where you have bumped them, hit them, or even brused them...A way to prevent them is by putting a coat of nail polish on theat thinkens your nails. You can find some by goin gto your local bueaty supply store.

I've been with my boyfriend for a couple of weeks now, and things have been going pretty good. We dont go to the same school, but we do see each other almost every weekend. Well last weekend he asked me what i was doing because he wanted to do somthin saturday night. Well on Friday night i imed him and asked what he wanted to do, and he said that he couldnt do anything because he had to go to some wedding. I was kinda madd because i didnt know if he would have even told me about the wedding if i didnt ask him what he wanted to do. A couple of days pass and it seems like were getting more and more distant. Im goin to the movies soon with some friends and i want him to go so we can see each other. What all can i do so our relationship keeps going and doesnt just lose interest?!?!?!

If he is still your boyfriend he will still show intrest in you. Just keep getting closer to him until you guys are starting to spend every weekend together again.

Happy Holidays!

There is this guy i have liked for a while, but he thinks of me just as a best friend. When i see him do things with other girls i tend to get pretty jealous. He asks me for advice with girls he really likes sometimes, and that kind of hurts my feelings because i like him. I try to make that clear but he just doesn't seem to be getting it. We are both fourteen so i guess i'm not ready for something extremely serious, but i want to go out with him. what do i do?

Maybe you are ready for something serious but you just don't know it. Follow your heart and if your ready get him something nice(real nice) for the holidays.

Happy Holidays!

Dear Advicenators,
One and a half years ago my brother *Henry* was diagnosed with hemophilia, which means that his blood does not clot normally. If he gets a cut, it's really hard to stop the bleeding. If he loses too much blood, he could die if the blood is not replenished.

Henry and I always liked to spend time together (he's two years older than me). We'd ride bikes to the park and shoot basketball hoops. He couldn't be too active, but he was my best friend and I felt safe around him.

Anyway, he lost a lot of blood one day, and was taken to the doctor for another blood injection. The horrible part was, that the person who had donated that blood was carrying the AIDS virus. The doctor proclaimed that Henry now had AIDS.

Henry is 15 years old, is in diapers, and must be fed through an IV or a tube. He has about 4 months left to live. My entire family is sad, and angry about it. My parents must monitor him all the time, so I always have to get a ride to my volleyball games. All three of us never have extra time, because we are always there for Henry and when he must be hospitalized. I had to drop out of volleyball for him.

Henry has been the butt of the jokes from the kids at school lately. They make fun of the fact that he has been in diapers. They are unaware of the fact that his brain is slowly being devoured, and he can't feed himself. The AIDS is tearing the whole family apart. But luckily, my friends are there to console me, but I always feel resentment towards the cruel kids at school. Can I please have some suggestions on what to do about that?

Anyway, as I am spending my last Christmas with my brother, I have no idea what present to give to him. Could I please have some ideas? I want it to be special and something he'll remember when he goes to Heaven.

Also, how can I comfort / cheer up my parents? They have been having lots of mood swings lately and have been very stressed.

Any input and prayer would be great. Sorry about the length.

*crying*I know the prefect present. Get him an angel not too big about 5 inches and write him the longest letter your hands can write. At the end tell him that an angel will always be there for give...I will pray.

Happy Holidays!

I think you go the right idea of backing off. That was a smart move. Next there is someone that you and your friend likes you get him!

Tell your friend to tell him that he needs to stop! That is bad! Or if she doesn't like that option...It's break-up time!

i use nyc eyeliner and everytime i use it it comes off easily so i have to bring my eyeliner to school and put it on there. my friends thinks its annoying cause i need to go to the bathroom or use their mirror in their lockers to put it on. whenever my friends put the eyeliner i use on, it stays on for them but it doesnt for me. i tried many kinds of eyeliner but i still cant find one that will stay on, someone please help!

p.s i dont want to use liquid eyeliner or very expenisive eyeliners

Try having a friend blow on it once you put it on and don't touch your eyes!

16/f. I really want to be an actress. Its totally possible for me too. I only live a half an hour away from Hollywood/Burbank and all the other cities with studios. I've been an extra in a few films and I've been to many tapings of shows. I often go to http://www.casting-call.us can you give me some advice on auditions or any sites that post auditions? Thanks.

I can't help you but if you go to acting school when you get older that might help!

Happy Holidays!

I'm fifteen years old, and I'm about 5'3. I'm not overweight, but I'm on the verge of it, and it most definitely wouldn't hurt if I shed a few pounds. When I'm home alone or just out with friends, I'm fine as far as resisting bad food goes. The problem is...my mom- and the rest of my family. My mom is ALWAYS buying junk food and tempting me with it. When we go to McDonalds and I say that I just want a bottled water and a salad, she'll order an extra thing of fries because she knows I'll eat it. My question is...How can I resist this with out my family thinking I'm anorexic? They won't understand if I simply explain that I want to lose a few pounds because like I said, I'm not overweight yet. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Tell your mom that she is just wasting money becuase you aren't going to eat it! That is the best thing to do. Or eat and exercise more.

Happy Holidays!

Theres this one girl in my dorm...she CANT spell. A freshmen in college and she cant spell little words, she simply doesnt know how. The word good, she spells gud. She cant even spell little words and this concerns me. She isnt doing well in her classes at all because of this reason. Me and my roommate edit her papers and we try to tell her that she really needs to learn how to spell properly, but she doesnt care. She cant rely on me and my roommate to save her but on every paper. Should I tell her to go to a tutor (which she probally wont go), or let her fend for herself? I tried to help her learn, but I get mad at her everytime I try.

First of all if she is making you mad why are you giving her your help? I wouldn't help here at all unless you really like her(As a friend). If she doesn't care she must not need it.

Happy Holidays!
Abby
