okay so i have love handles, but yet im skinny
and it bugs me so much cuz i can never wear belts it just like sticks out. and it also bugs me how not so skinny ppl dontt even have them, it seems like im the only one

so is there a way i can get rid of them
like a certain excericse. or diet
and how long would it take? (link)
The only way you can get rid of them is to exercise and eat better and hope they shrink. You can never target just one area or do a certain exercise to hope one part of your body shrinks.

As far as other's not having them, some people just collect fat in different areas. Also, some people just carry their weight different so it depends on the person.


does anyone poke their ear with a stick to get junk out? or is my family just weird. it hurts so much! (link)
Nah, they aren't weird. I use bobbypins to clean my ears because it scrapes all of the gunk out of there WAY better than a Qtip.


i have lots of little dark scars were spots and pimples used to be on my face. How do i make them go away or at least less visible permanently??
i also have a few lines of stretch marks on my hips...how do i make them less visible???

Plz dont suggest any laser treatment or you know, something really expensive. I live in england by the way. London to be precise.
thankz

Cocoa butter helps reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. There are tons of lotions that contain cocoa butter, but they can be a little pricey. Also, they do not completely get rid of any scars or stretch marks, just fade them. You can never fully get rid of something like that without some sort of medical procedure. Stretch marks can sometimes completely fade on their own in time, but not always.


Alright, im 17 years old, and a female. I want to go on the pill...Ive had the same boyfreind for two years and we have had sex. Though we are careful and we use a condom everytime, i would feel better if i was on the pill. however, my mom doesnt think that i should go on the pill, or at least she doesnt want me to until im older. i also want it to help with my period, which is always insane to deal with and its 7 days long every 25 days.
is there any way that i can get birth control without my parents ever knowing? (link)
Planned Parenthood can supply birth control, but you have to have a yearly exam with them. I believe it runs about $100 for the exam and you will pay around $30 a month for the pills themselves. At least that is how it is set up in Wisconsin. The only way you can get birth control for free is if you go through an insurance company. In that instance, you will need your parents assistance.

I would suggest going to your mom about birth control using the argument that you want to regulate your period. Tell her you have really bad PMS symptoms or something (true or not) that way she'll feel more obligated to take you to get some BC.


is it normal to have cramps to the side of your belly button as a result of your period? cause i thought that was too high for menstrual cramps. but its on my left side so it cant be appendicitis right? thanks so much and i will rate you all for your helpful posts!!! (link)
Actually, appendicitis pains are on the left, even though the appendix is on the right side of the body. Mine burst a few years back, so I've gone through it.

Chances are, if the pains are pretty subtle, you do not have appendicitis. Menstrual cramps seem more likely, especially if you're on your period. I get cramps in my back from it, so it's different from person to person. The muscles just cramp up so tight sometimes that it effects the surrounding environment as well.
